Seward's Failure to Reform Consular Service
Washington July 24 The plan to extend civil service to United States consuls to stop the scramble for offices failed as Seward abandoned it as impracticable. Twelve consular students were sent abroad, learned duties, and were promoted until a new administration struck down tenure and eliminated the program. No student remained in service. Curtis notes in London that England's government change did not alter daily department work and patronage was limited to about sixty top positions.
