Civil Service Appointments. THE FIRST TWO IN THE WAR DEPARTMENT MADE TO-DAY—SEVEN MORE VACANCIES TO FILL. ‘The first appointments in the War department under the civil service regulations were made to- day, Secretary Lincoln selected Benj. F. Keller, of Pa., and Edw. N. Brown, of N. Y., to fill two va- cancies jn the $1,000 grade in the adjutant gen- eral’s office. The civil service Commission certified four names for the first vacancy, and Benjamin F. Keller, who was first on the list, was selected. From the three remaining names, together with another certified by the commilssion, the second selection was made, The second in rank was not chosen, because he was from the same state as the first, and so number three proved the lucky man. There are seven other vacancies in. the ‘War department, and requisitions will be made upon the civil service commission at once to fill them, There are two more vacancles of the $1,000 class in the adjutant general's sffice, one in the fool aa generals office, one in the paymaster gen- eral’s office, a vacancy in class one in the signal office, and one in class one and one tn $1,000grade in the quartermaster ral’s Office. In every case where a vacancy has occurred in a higher de promotions have been made until it existed in the $1,000 grade, excepting in the two instances in the signal service and in thequartermaster gen- eral’s office. It ts thought that similar promo- Uons wil: be made in these offices before the re- quisitions are made, ee MR.

F. Baird for the ac- commodations afforded them in the National Mu- seum bullding.

A resolution was adopted declaring the National Museum to be the repository of the speciméns of the assoctation; that all specimens there deposited be designated’ as the collection of the American Pharmaceutical association, and that a commitiee of three be appointed to collect and deposit specl- mens. ‘The assoclation then adjourned till 3 o'clock.

The various delegations are meeting this morn- ing, but as yet very few have determined upon a definite course of action.

Ber- gens’ twenty-three votes will be divided, Abbett Tecelving about fourteen and Cochran and Cutler the rest.’ Buritngton’s thirty-eight votes will go to Hendrickson first and Whittaker or Cutler_sec- ond. Camden's thirty-eight voies are for Whit- taker first and Parker second, but in cas? of & general Abbett movement thelr votes would go tohim. Cape May's six votes are for Whittaker and Abbett.

Gloucester’sfour- teea votes will goto Whittaker first and Abbet afterwards if he prove the coming man. Hun- tngdon’s; 29 votes will be divided between Coch- ran and Abbett. Hudson’s 99 are nearly all for Abbett, though Cochran will capture a few of them. * Mercer's 83 votes are divided between Whittaker and Abbett. Middlesex’ 33 will be dl- vided among Abbett, Albright and Cochran, with @ majority for Abbett. Monmouth’s 86 votes will be mostly Whittaker.
