A Washington special says ih t the most important change in the rules recommended by the Civil Service Advisory Board, is iu relation to the examination of candi dates for oftice iu various parts of the conntry, and not subject them to the ex pense of traveling to Washington. It is recommended that the country be di vided into funr or more districts, each to have a Chief Examiner; he to have as sociated with him certain officials, or others tinalitii d fur the work. It has leaked out, during the recent txcun-iou of the examining board of the Treasury Department in the South, that a collector of customs was found who t-onld neither read nor write. He has probably held over since Buchanan's lime. k-D. Appeal. According to a special from Washing ton, the President has irubmitted to the Department of Justice a statement of the condition of affairs found to exist in the division of the late freedmens bureau charged with the settlement of bounties to the colored soldiers. The statement sets forth that numerous claimants for whom treasury certificates have been issued and sent to the Freedmaus' Bur eau for payment, have never received tlieir mouev, although they were marked on the records of the bureau an pad, re ported to the Treasnrv bv the disbursing ofiicer of the bureau as paid, and so creditt d in the settlement of his account. For this fraud the Secretary of War wishes to know the degree of respon sibility and relative responsibility under the law of General O. O. Howard and his disbursing officer, Gen. Ballocb. When the War Department took possession of the lecords of the bureau, unpaid claims were found amounting to s730.000, and S3.300 were found unpaid, although en tered ou the records and reported to the treasury and there cred ted as paid.
