WASHINGTON. Preetieal Results of Civil Service Examinations. REPORT OF THE CHIEF EXAMINER Fasorable Reception of the Bill to Repeal Moieties. . WaAsuINGTON, May 10, 1876, Bv Service Reform—The Chief Exam- iner’s Report, "The report of the COnief Examiner, E. 0 @iaves, to the Civil Service Commission, bas “past been printed, ‘rom which it appears dis- “thet examinations for admission to the civil ser- \Wice were held in November and December last in ew York, Cimecinnati, St. Louis and Savannaa, in | which 149 candidates were examined for the Treas- ‘wry, Interior, Post Office, War and Agricultural | 48. The report says the general results were satisfactory, although the number of candi- @ates was not so large as was expected, owing to the newness of the system. The candi¢ates com- | pared favorably with those examined in Washing- ton, those examined m New York belmg mach above the average in intelligence aud business eapacity. Seven of z%e New York candidates received ap- | ointments in the Treasury Department; bat the | eontemplated reduction of the cierical force by Cougress has prevented the making of appoint- ments irom the other examinations, Stoce.the rules went into effect 184 examinations Bave beon held by the Boards in Washingson, 710 wacancies filled and 3,817 candidates examinea. ‘Phe Boards have performed their laborious and ~“@elicate duties with fidelity aod intelligence. ‘They have borne the system almost wholly upon | their shoulders, and to them is due a jarge sare of the credit tor the success which civil service re- form has gained. The examinations for admission | ‘have all been of a simple, practical character, and | are kept wholly within the bounds of a common ‘school education. They give no justification to the common asser- » @ien that the system gives to coliege bred men an acvantage over those of humbler schooling. The examinations for promotion turn very largely on Bractical questions pertaining to the duties, prac- ‘tuce and organization of the offices in which the candidates are employed. For special positions | ‘the controlling weight is given to the specia; knowledge required. in examinations in the Appraiser’s ofce in New ‘York can‘idaies were required to c.assily and ap- praise sampiés of goods procured from A. T Stewart & Co. Coin counters and tellers can be | examined by similar tests. The competitive system is much more effective ‘than the old system of personal selection in secur, | ‘mg a high order of such qualifications for two | feasons:—First, it brings into the competition | many qualified persons, Whose merits could not | have been known to the appointing power, under the old system, except by chance, and second, it gccurately tests the relative qualifications of the competitors. It is not claimed that even the most practical examination will invariably secure the best man, but it is certain that such @ test must, 4m the nature of things, be vastly better than none atall, and that no adequate substitute for it has been suggested. ‘The Chief Examiner recommends that the stand- ard tor admission to the service be raised; that “the examinations be heid at fixed dates; that one | Board conduct ail the examinations for admission | to the service in Washington, thus saving much Wabor and expense, and securing uniformity in the examinations; that higher evidence of good @haracter, health and habits be required; thata maximum limit of age be established, and that ‘Promotion be made only one grade at a time. The Pepert earnestly urges the extending of the rules | Orleans, except at La Crosse, where a slight rise | the Committee on the Pacific Railroad: | Season and to carefully review the circumstances duties Mr a longer period than ten days at any one tume Without the permissien previously obtained of the President, amd no compensation shall be @ilowed for the time of any such absence in any ‘case except in cases of sickness; nor shall any diplomatic or consular oficer correspond in regard to the public afairsef any ‘foreign government with any private person, newspaper or other periodical, or otherwise than with the proper officers of the United States; nor without the con- sent of the Secretary of State, previously ebtained, recommena any person at home or abroad for any employment of trast or profit under the govern- ment of tne country in whieh he is located, norask or accept for himself or any other person any present, emolument, pecuniary favor, office or title of any kind from any such government. The Moiety Acts Repeal Bill Almost Certain ef Passing. The bill heretofore reported trom the Committee of Ways and Means repealing all Moiety acts, will be taken up for consideration on Tuesday ‘week. Representative Ellis H. Roberts, of New York, the chairman of the sub-committee which prepared the bill, will have charge of it in the | House. Delay in its consideration is owing to the | fact that all the testimony om that subject has not yet been printed. Numerous letters and other | communications have been received irom mer- chants, importers and federal officers, approving the general features of the bill, with hopes | that it will be passed. There ts no doubt but in this they will be gratified, Condition of the Great Rivers.

THE HICKSITES, Immense Annual Gathering of Quakers from Different States. PHiLADgELPHIA, May 10, 1874. The Aicksite Quakers, irom almost every section of the country, metin Philadelphia to-aay. They come to exchange the congratuldtions of the | wi | mM the midst of which they stand. The Hicks- | ites are tovaily distinct trom tne ordinary Quakers, and the elements of are entirely different. ‘The ordinary Quaker 18 im a way Hpiscopalian, while the Hicksite is Uni- | | tarian, Tueir religious ceremonies proceeding | | trom diferent assumpuons or creeus are vor- their iaith | Sethe whole Oustoms, Sub-Treasury and Postal wervices, Thus tar they nave been put in force | only in the departments in Washington | and in the Custom House and Sub-Treasury | 4an New York. Mr. James, the present , Postmaster of New York, has of his | own motion instituted a very thorough system of | competitive examinations ior admission to his | Mice, which has greatly improved the service and | stood as a barrier against political pressure. These | might be made the models for similar examinations | 4m ali the larger post offices. The quiet and unos- | tentatious manner in which this measure has been | get in operation shows that tne fancied obstacles | to the reform speedily vanish before an intelligent ‘effort to improve the service. ‘The testimony of those fammliar with the results | Of the competitive system is almost unanimous as | to its success in respect to admission to the ser- | vice. Itis conceded that the persons who have | ‘Deen admitted to the service under the civil ser- | vice rules are superior in average intelligence, ca- pacity, adaptability and general usefulness to those ‘@ppointed under the old system, and that the | haracter of the service is gradually improv- | ‘fmg. It bas been proved beyond question «hat capacity for the minor positions in the public service can be iairly and accurately tested | ‘@y competitive examinations. The diminution | of the ‘mportunity for office has given great relief to all officers possessing the power of appoint- ; ment or nomination to places to which the rules Mave been applied. ‘The departments are being graduaily supplica ‘with men of trained and active minds, who are working their way upwards toward the higier places aud are spreading about them an influence favorabie to the reform. If the process continues it will not be many years before the departments ‘will be transiormed by the infusion of this new element. Concerning competition for promotion, the testi- mony is less favorabic, altaough the greater ‘Weight of opinion isin its favor. The tone of the @ervice is unquestionably improving. Each man feels that his promotion depends chiefly upon his own efforts, and not upon the weight of his political infuence nor the degree of his own subdserviency, and is incited to extend his knowledge, especially of tue duuies of the office on which nis advancement chiefly depends.
