CIVIL SERVICE REFORM IN THE CUSTOM HOUSE, It nas become certain that the President means to Fetorm tho New York Custom House, He seos that civil service reform cannot be carried on in driblets, nd that no systematic or thorough work is possible ‘which does not begin by dissolving the connection be- tween politics and the Custom House in Now York. He is carefully looking into tho matter, and is not ina hurry to begin operations but he means busi- ness and intends, when he begins, not to stop until the Custom House is carried on on business principles and for basiness purposes alonc, and is in charge of men ‘who will keep it entirely out of politics, There 1s a rumor that the Collector will be asked Defore Jong, to turnish to the Treasury Department ® transcript of the book in which the clerks and other employés are charged against the politicians, at whose solicitation they have been appointed, It ts Delieved here in influential quarters that a much Bmailer force would suffice to collect the duties at New York and do all the necessary business than is now dorne on the rolls, and that ifthe Custom House can be divorced from poiltics and put on a strict business footing o handsome economy ean be mado, After the New York Custom House, that at Boston will, it is believed, come under review, and the President means not to rest until be has placed the whole of the revenue service on a business footimg, weeding out sinecures, incom- petent and merely political appointees and retaining only those who attend faithfully to their duty and who have not been conspicuous as Castom House poli- ticlans. cP Abe nde Takk FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Wasuinotox, April 5, 1877. A LULL AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL—ABSENCE OF CABINET MINISTERS AND CONGRESSMEN. The excitement over the South Carolina case has ‘been followed by a general lull in Washington, The Cabinet, which was held together in protracted daily sessions, has scattered. Secretary Evarts runs over to New York to-night on private business which had to be neglected in the exigency of State business and Secretary Thompson has already gone back to In- diana to attend to matters from which he was go sud- denly summoned to take the portfolio ot the Navy Department. ‘There is also a conspicuous absence ot Senators and Congressmen, the last one of whom has packed his boxes and departed homeward. MOVEMENTS OF GOVERNOR CHAMBERLAIN. Mr. Chamberiain, ot South @rolina, who took a flying trip to New York yesterday, is in Washington again, but is to leave for Columbia in aday or two.

Wasumrvatoy, April 5, 1877. ®ECRETARY SCHURZ'’S PLAN FOR CIVIL SERVICE REFORM IN THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT. Secretary Schurz to-day promulgated an order pro- viding for the ivestigation and practical determina- tion of questions connected with appointments, re- movals and promotions in the various bureaus of his department by means of a board of inquiry to be con- Btituted irom time to time as follows:—The Board is to be composed of three members selected trom clerks of the fourth class (the highest grade) or from the corps of oxaminers in the Patent Office—one to represent the Secretary’s office and be appointed by the Secro- tary, ono to be solected from such bureau as the Secre- tary may indicate and named by the head thereof, and the third to be designated by the head of the bureau trom which the charges or recommenda- tions emanate. The two first named are to serve for three months and the latter is to serve only during the continuance of the particular investigation in aid of which he is appototed. F I¢ shall be the duty of the Board to examine such employés as may be ordered before them by the Sec- retary to determine by practical tests their fitness for the positions they hold, and recommend such advance- ment, reduction, suspension of dismissal, as the tacts aecertained by the examination may warrant, If spe- cific charges are submitted by the head of the bureau against any employé of his office the latter shall be no- tified and allowed at least two days time to file an an- swer or to appear in person, If so requested, to make explanation touching the charges. If the charges are of a character affecting the official integrity of the em- ployé, and the evidence submitted is reasonably clear fas to their truth, it shall be the duty of the Board to Tecommend the immediate suspension of the party uo- til the inquiry 1s concluded. When reduction is mado necessary in any of the bureaus of the department a it of names twenty-five per cent in excess of the actual Bumber to be dismissed shall be furnished to the Secretary, and the required number shall be selected from them by the Board after careful inquiry as to the relative merit of cach employé, The list so furnished by the head of the bureau must set forth the official standing of the employé, including therein the nature of their work and such remarks in each case as may clearly indicate the judgmont of the head of the bureau im relation to the respective qualitications. All recommendations from persons uot connected with the department urging the retention or promo- tion of any employé shall be referred to the Board of Inquiry, and it shall be discretionary with the Board to notify the parties so recommended to appear betore them for such examination as may be neceseary to de- termine the value of the indorsement filed in their behalf. Finally, it is provided that this result of the Board's inquiries shall in evory case be submitted to the Sec- rotary of the Interior for his approval, The system of investigation thus outlined has been prepared by Secretary Schurz after much deliberation and acarefal consideration of views presented to him on bis invitation by the various chiefs of burcaus and other responsible officera of tho dopartment. It is believod the system will in its practical workings not only relieve the Secretary and bureau officers rom tho present necessity of devoting a large part of their timo to matters of comparatively little public importance, but wiil secure exact justice to all parties concerned. ‘The especially novel features of the plan are the pro- visions for irequent changes in the membership of the Board of Inqu ad for a representation upon it in every case of the particular buroau which may bo au affected by {ts action, Every deserving em- ployé of the department will, therefore, have reasou to at his merit 1s his real protection, and not his ee. influence of such personal relations as he may im time establish with a superior officer or with the members of a permanently constituted tribunal, GUE SALE OF THE PHILADELPHIA NAVY YARD— EX-SECRETARY ROBESON IN EXPLANATION. Ex-Socretary Robeson, in conversation with personal friends to-night, on the subject of the sale of the old Philadelphia navy yard, said that while it was trae the faw providing for {ts sale requires the advertise- ment to be published in “three daily papers of largest circulation in the city of Philadel phie’”’ it was the act of the Board and not of any Audividual in ordering tho advertiaoment to be 4 NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, . APRIL 6, 1877.—TRIPLE Lad nah aia climes wekomeaneaaa: | Board considered this necessary, The law provided that the money received from the sale of the old yard, less the necessary expenses o! the commission, should be paid into the Treasory, and an amount equal to the sum so received was appropriated by Congress, to be expended by the Navy Department im removing the movable property of the Philadelphia Navy Yard to League Island and preparing the same ior carrying on the bumness and work of « navy yard at that place The sum of §1,000,000 reahzed irom the sale of the old yard, the ex-Seere- lary says, was disposed of secording to the provisions of the law. Every navy bereau bad some share ia the designated work of removal and preparation, and pend- ing the removal of the property {rom the old to the new navy yard and the preparation of the latter for naval purposes, various sums to carry on the work were irom time to time advaneed by the several bureaus, and the moneys thus advanced were reimbursed to them by the department after the purchase money had been pald. No one bureau was entitied to receive an amount beyond that actually advanced by it, A con- trary view, it appears, has caused confusion regarding the method of disposing of the purchase money, THE DEFICIENCY IM THE APPROPRIATION “PAY OF THE NAVY”—CIRCULAR FROM SECRETARY THOMPSON, ‘The Secretary of the Navy, prior to his departure for Terre Haute last evening, issued the following circu Navy Deranrusst, jar:— Wasuinatox, April 6, Mire toe } The Secretary of the Navy regrets that it has become his duty to smmounce to the officers of the naval service that the amount of baa 7 found by him in the Treasury of th United States w the credit of ihe appropriation “Pay 2 = navy,” is insuffciont to pay the officers months of Apr, May and Ji The afore oft the ne, poses to retain as much as may be found of what there is in the treasury under “Pay navy”? for the purpose of paying allotments to the wives of officers and sailors whose husbands are abroad in the sexvicn of the countr; om. nomad otherwise provide tor them, and in this purpose the Secretary feels that he will be sustained by every high-minded, honorable officer tn tno navy of Yo Waited Stages. R. W. THOMPSON, Sécretary of the’Navy. The grat yl required to pay the officers of the navy forthe three months mentioned will be about three-quarters of a million dollara, The order is not intended to apply to enlisted men, as enough funds are on hand to pay them, and, in addition thereto, the officers could be paid for the first ten days in April, bat it is not deemed expedient to compensate them for this fractional part of & month, The appropriation tor the pay of the navy during the present fiscal year, was $5,750,000, but the amount actually required for that purpose ts $7,500,000. Tho Deficiency Appropriation Dill passed at the last session appropriated $1,000,000 additional, leaving a deficiency of $750,000 yet to be appropriated to pay the oflicers up to the end of the present fiscal year.
