THE NATIONAL CAPITAL, GENERAL MATTERS, Special Telegram to The Bee. Wasuisarox, July 2,—Owen Kellar who was cretified by the civil service commission for appointment to a clerkship in the first auditor’s office but was rejected by First Aud- ftor Chenoweth on the ground that he was a republican and was distasteful to Congress- man Warner and other democrats in his neighborhood, was this morning appeinted by Secretary Manning to the place for which he wan cortified, Keller yesterday brought the facta in the case to theattention of the civil ser- vice commission by which they were last evening laid before the president. The com- missioners said the refusal to appoint Kellar appeared to be a violation of rule eight which forbids any discrimination by the ap- pointing officer on political grounds and they further represeuted that the reception of the recommendations by the auditor from Congressman Warner, that Keller bo not appointed, appeared to bo inplain violation of the tenth section of the civil seovice act, which eays that no recom mendations shall te recerved frrm any mem- ber of the house of representatives except as to the character of the applicant, by any par son concerned in making any_examination or o) guin!manl under ths act, - Under this pro J’. jon the commissionera held that the auditor had no right to recsive any such recom:iend- ation from a member ot congress, Karly this morning as the commission was further consid- ering the subject with a view of its more formal present stion to the president, the fol- lowiog letter was received from the secretary of the treasury: TREASURY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY. § ‘WasHINGTON, July 2, 1885, —To the Hon. Dorman B. Eaton, Uuited States civil service commission, Sir:—I was not uutil last night fully informed of the circumstances connected with the Kellar affair. If you have Mr. Kel Iar's address will you kindly adviso him to report to me this morning for duty. 1 intend that this department shall strictly obey tho law, Respectfully yours, DaNIEL MANNING. Mr, Kellar, who sat in Commissioner Eaton’s office when the secretary’s letter was received, went at once to the treasury depart ment and was immediately sppointed and set at work. Messrs, J. B, Moore. Dalaware; J, Wilson Payard, Pennsylvania, and Julian Taylor, Vir{inh, have been appointad to clerkships in the department of state. These gentlemen assed civil service examinations satisfactori- ly, standing at the head of the list over thirty applicants, Mr, Bayard is a distant relative of Secretary Bayard, but was not known by that gentloman until after he had passed tho examination, He is a recent graduate of Princeton and stood first in the examination of applicanta for the state department vacan- cles, Mr, Taylor has been professor of lan guages in the university of Virginia, It is understood that Mr. Keiley, recently appomnted United States minister to Austria, whose appointment has occasioned considera- ble comment, will not be recalled, He will go to Vienna and should tho Auatrian_goy- ernment refuse to receive him it is Intimated that the United States gov- eroment will remain unrepresented at Vienna. 1Itis held that Keiley is a capa- ble man and in every way fitted to fill the po- sition to which ho has bzen assigned. When he was appointed United States minister to Italy he was endorsed by the entire congres- slonal delegation of an was confirmed by the senate. The Ttalian_ government asked whether or not Keiley had given utterance in a public speech in 1871 to sentiments in oppo- sition to the occupation of Ltome by Victor Emanuel. The former government after- protes an:inst his ap- intment and Keiley resigned his commission, Tz is held that the Austrian government his no grounds to complain of Kailey. 4 Some weeks ago the postmaster general is- gued an order requiring postmasters whose bonds were executed five or more years ago § to renew them, and to-day 4,20) blank forms . of bonds were sent out by the bond division, in answer to requests of postmasters, The Hon, Gieorge S. Boutwell, counsel for Hayti, has filed anpur writs with the secre tary of state in the nature of a protest ag=inst the payment by Hayti of the 57,000 racently awmded by the arbitrator, the Hon, William Strong, to Antonio Pellitier, Gov. Boutwell «quotes from the decision of the arbitrator sundry extracts which show that counclusions reached were: £ - 1—That Pellitier was guilty of fitting the bark William at Mobile in the autumn of 1864 for a slave tradiog expedition in violation of the laws of the United States, 2--That he prosecuted that undertakiog among the islands of the Carribean eea until his arrest at Fort Liberto in April, 1871, 8—~That he was tried by the judicial author- itios of Hayti and by dus process of law, ac corning to the institutions of that country, upon a charge of an attempt at pirwcy and slave trading upon the coast of Hayti. That by the laws of nations the authori- ties of Hayti hadjurisdiction of the per son of Pelliter, Tt submits the sugpestion that the govern- ment of the United States ought not to pro- further in the prosecution of this claim. ’ He asks whether the United States would consent to the payment of a penalty for a judic error Ina caso whore the claimant was guilty of a crime for which he suffered punishment, and whether the United States can afford to establish a precedent which may become & rule of international law that govefhments are responsible to other governments for judicial errors that the conrts may commit in cases affecting fortunes or nglu of uliens engaged in criminal enter rises, He says the invitation extended by his government to Hayti to submit this claim to arbitration was based upon the theory that Pelleticr was engsged in a lawful undestaking at the time of his arrest, which theory the opinion of the arbitrator absolutely destroys. | In conclusion he says: “‘In the presence of thess facts it would seem inconsistent with the legislation of the country for more than ~fourths of a century, and with the known opinions of the people for the executive branch of the government of the United Btates to accept money from auother govern- ment as compensation fora judicial error inac here the party claimant was, in faot, quilty of & most heinous crime,” 18t Assistant PostmasterGeneral Hay was attacked day before yerterday by a severo «hill and has been confined to his room ever He fs improviog, however, and hopes i t his desk again within two or three | dsys. Hsy's absence from the depatment ¢ bas revived the rumor that he resigned, This, Hay says, Is not true.

He favors the adoption of the #ystew used in the Eoglish navy department. Calhoun says that under the present methods in the navy department eac its own set of books; that there is no unifor- mity among the bureaus and that 1t is extremely difficult to get any information about any special item of expenditure. He cites matters concerning which it would re- quire days, weeks or months to elicit the facts, such aa the sums already spent on cer. tain cruisers, and how the accounts of this or that contractor stands. The report adds YAt present there is mo intelligent system of acoounts in existence at the navy department and no responsibllity anywhere for the book- keeping done 1n the department, I recommend the total abolition of the sys. tem. In place of the present system, or rather want of * system, I propose the establishment of & system of accounte, which shall keep a detailed account of every receipt and the disbursement of money pertaining to the navy department, Calhonn estimates the force of this buresu at one chief and thies assistents,” Kimball, the new director of ths mint, en- tered on the discharge of duties of that office this morniog, The president to day appointed Fiward Duffy postmaster at Ann Arbor, Mich, The South American commission under date of Santiago, May 14th, have made a re- port to the secretary of state of the result of their visit to Chili, The report says that Valpraiso 13 almost an English ¢ rlon{. The glish language is used almost exslusively n trade and the leading merchants are sub jects of Great Britian, there being but three distinctively Awmerican houres in the place, The smount of goods imported from the United States Is very small beyond what are bought by those firms, The great obstacles to an extention of this trade is the disposition of Englishmen to trade at home and their ability to do_ro_on account of the high freights between New York and Valpa- 0, which are usually double the cost of ransportation between Valparaiso and Ion don or Hamburg, In thort no goods are im- ported from the Uni ed States’ except when they cannot be obtained elsewhere, and then it is found much_cheaper to ship them to Chili from New York via Hamburg or Liver. pool, At the meeting of the president of Chili by the commission a series of propositions were submitted to him looking to an increase of trade between Chili and the UUnited States, President Santa Maria very frankly, and somewhat bluntly, said his people were at liberty to sell where they could get the best rices and buy whera goods were tha cheapest. n his opinion commerce wns not alded by commercial treaties, However he heartily endorsed one proposition—the re- establishment of a common slver coin of the value of the Unlted States gold dollsr, to bo coined by esch of the American republics, of an equal degres of finenese, and to an amcunt whicn should bn agreed, to be legal tender in all commercial transactions, Darius H.
