tc0freepondeuce OF the Richmond Dispssch.l
PfrxKsBuRo, Va, February 2i.--The
Civil-Servics Commission at Washington.
IN pursuance OF President Harrison's order
ct January 5th Of this year. extending
tho civil-service law TO all free-delivcry
poet-ofsces. has appointed the following
Board Of CivilService Examiners for Pc
tersburg. before whom all applicants TO
any position in our post-office. IN tie
grades above the janitor and below the
assistant postmaster. will have TO appear
before they can obtain office: James W.
Hawkins. jackson G. Bishop. and William
II. Collett. The three members OF the
board are all employees in the .post-ofiice.
Mr.. Hawkins is now and has for twenty
Eve years been the mailine.clerk In the
once; the otner two are letter-carriers.
RATHER SINGULAR.
II n regarded rs somewhat singular that
the Examining Board should be composed
altogether of post-office employees. and
the impression Is that If the law is carried
ont in strict accordance with the letter
all of the present Republican clerks and
letter-carriers will have to be retained by
the Democratic Postmaster. General Suth
Boiling. the Postmaster, saws that the
board has not yet been notified when ap-
present carriers and substitutes arc not
liable 10 the civil-service examination,
and that no new appointments can
be made until vacancy occurs;
alec that when vacancy 1oes
occur the oldest substitute IN service Will
get the appointment. ms stateinent
would seem TO practically exclude at least
for long time. any Democratic aspirsnts
for Office in the post-office under the posi-
t,or of the Assistant Postmaster. There are
nine letter-carrlers IN this city aud one or
more CLERKS. Several OF the former, as well
"a their substitutes, are colored. Inc rules
of the civil-service law admit ooth mon
and women. exclusive OF race. to apply Tor
certain offices.
DESPERATE CRIMINAL.
In the County Court of Dinwiddie yes
terday Henry Hill (colored). indicted for
housebreaking and larceny, was sentenced
TO tho penitentiary for term OF three
years. Hill was to be tried TO-DAY on an
other indictment of assault, with intent
TO kill. While being carried to jail AFTER
the HOUSEKEEPING he made an assault on
his guard and nearly killed Mr.. A. ". oim-
mons. He made The Assault Win Tue nope
of escape.
Albert Jones (colored). indicted for ma
licious shooting, was convicted OF uniaw-
full shooting and sentenced to fifteen DAYS.
IMPRISONMENT in jail and to pay hne OF
$40.
PLACES TO FILL.
It is said that there are some twenty-five
or more applicants in this city Tor posi-,
lions in tho lnternal-Revenue once. and
probably an equal number for positions
upder the Postmaster. Should the Col
lector's Office be removed to Richmond
there will be only six deputies IN Peters
burc should il remain here there Will DO
twelve or fifteen places TO I'LL.

day in hearing q coupon case m which the
