Nkwb: Tho investigation of tho workings of tho Civil Service Commission thus far only nlTectn tho conduct of air. ijyman, while ho was tho only commissioner in office and whilo ho was in office with Mr. Oberly. Tlio story waB told by him to tho com mittco on Wednesday, and viowod in nuy light, his halting, reluctant admission ptaco him in contempt with tho truo friends of civil service who so long trusted him. Ho ad mits in his testimony that ono Campbell, a clerk, and his brother- in-law furnished lists of questions to persons outside the commission, for which monoy was paid, and that ho was merely "reprimanded for this breach of dtsoiphne." Ho admits that after tho limit as to ago had been raised from eighteen to twenty years, and ho was solo commissioner, ho had his daughter under nineteen years of ago exam ined on tho ground that she had ap plied for n twsilion boforo tho law wont into oflect, although tho law refers entirely to qualification neces sary to examination and apont incut. Hu acknowledged that in stances havo occurred in which can didates sent substitutes to their ex amination, who passed it for them. l ho carelessness of a system that novoroveu compares hand writing in tho application with that in the examination naivcrs can bo iinrtcin- cd. Thus far tho other commissioners aro not smirched by tho investiga tion, nnd tho result will probably promote tho causo of civil eorvico reform by renewed viuilanco in guarding the avenues to appoint ment. Iho resignation of Lvmnn should bo immediately rcauostcd. Ho offers no defonso and can offer none. Ho renamed Campbell in office after his oiifesslon of dishon esty, whero another commissioner woultl probably havo exhausted ev ery possiblo means of bringing him io jtiBiico, ici aiono uiscnarging mm. A great ery was raised by Lyman and his friends ngainst tho Wash- ngton Post's nttacks on his admin istration, and now ho simply goes on tlio witness stand and confesses tho truth of tho charges. Despilo tho fact that many Sen- ato committees considered hitherto as of vastly moro importanco than that on woman suffrage, aro without rooms to moot in, tho zealous efforts of Miss Anthony and Mrs Stanton mvo resultett in tho assienmont of an apartmont lor tho oxc usivo uso of their pet committee. It is in tlio basement and not a very im posing room, but tho only sicn on tho door is Woman Sufi'raco," nnd that moans that it is not to be shar ed by thrco or four committcos. ni most of tha rooms aro. In tlio walls aro to bo placed crayons and oil iiortraitfl of tlio lcadera of tho movement, and there is a library of work on female suffrage to bo sup plied. Miss Anthony is csboiially proud of tho victory, as she calls it, and tho thrco scoro and ton years sho celebrated tho other day aro half of them lost in her enthusiasm. With a brcozy disregard of tho authorities quilo surprising, Her minio Thebault, Silcott's compan ion in his flight from Washington after having broken congressional icarls, camo to town this week, and vnnished during tlio samo day. It is correctly -jrrin.d i.z a delect ivo followed her into oblivion in tho lopes of finding tho whereabouts of Silcott. Rumor equally authorita tivo locates Silcott in Victoria, whero ho was last, eocii purchasing a ticket for China. Ex-Gcrgeant- at-nrms Lcodom on discovering tho prosenco of tho Theibatilt woman in tho cilv. atlomnted to havo her ar rested, but could find no charge to put against her. Lccdom still says that ho is hoiful of catching Sil cott. Ho devotes most of his timo to bewailiiiK his misplaced confi dence in tho wily clerk.
