PREFERENCE To UNION VETERANS.
That Policy Being Pursued In All the
Departments.

The policy Of giving ex-Union soldiers
preference in appointments and promotions
in the government departments and in
their reinstatement whenever t. can be
shown that their dismissal was not for
cause other than political is being pursued
by all the heads of departments. This
policy, ias shown, ip The Star yesterday,
has been closely followed by the Secretary
of Agriculture It: is guiding the Post
master General and other officials in his
Office to such an extent that wherever it Is
found that an exssoldier has been de
NOTED" because of Ms3republican politics
he Is promptly promoted to the place he
formerly held. 1t has been found that
clerks In post offices and letter carriers
have especially been victims Of political in
fuence, and many soldiers occupying these
places who have been denoted" have
been restored to their former salaries. This
policy has been pursued not only in the
government service In this city, but will be
carried out in all the post offices of the
country.
