Much eloquence sarcasm, a whple an affluence of windy ocean of - 'innocuous "precedents," and desuetude." Verilv. the passage of those resolutions by a bare majority was even less than what our old friend the late William Allen, of Ohio, would have called "a d d barren ideality." The "d d barren" part of the pro gramme was certainly played, but we deny that there was any 'ideality" in it. The drivellings of idiots are no .ideal. i Now that the Edmunds resolutions are finally disposed of, the prevailing lmnression amoncr Senators of both - w parties seems to be that pending nom inations will be taken up and disposed of rapidly. It. is plainly not the inten tion of the majority to construe these resolutions as binding upon the Senate to reject any nomination simply and solely because papers on jj file maybe refused. Leading Republican Sena tors in the closing debate declared that, notwithstanding the resolutions, they would consider themselves free to consider nominations! to take the place of suspended Republicans upon the merits or demerits at the cases, respectively. L, Mr. Powderly is morefof a states man than any of the other labor lead ers. A summary of his pbsition is in teresting. It is collected jfrom his re cent circular, issued to the Knights of Labor, of which powerful organization he is Grand Master Workman. This circular is" able and moderate, and has been endorsed by the best men among the Knights. Such rabidi agitators as Irons do not. like it, and deny his au thority to interfere. Mr.' Powderly a misnomer, clearly opposes strikes, and especially that one now in pro gress. He is opposed to boycotting; ' to threats of violence, and to politi cians. He is in favor of arbitration and moral suasion, and believes in "moulding the sentiments" of the peo ple. Ho promises that if the purposes of the order are sought by peaceful means "the next fivef years will wit ness thei complete emancipation of mankind from the curse of monopoly." If contrary methods are adopted he threatens to resign. In the debate on the Edmunds reso lutions the two speakers most famed for legal lore and forensic ability were Messrs. Edmunds and Evarts. If spe cious reasoning and unlimited and in volved sentences constitute argument, these gentlemen certainly bore off the palm. Mr. Edmunds' last speech was the most tasteless, the most attenuated piece of reasoning we remember ever to have read proceeding from so great a mind. The truth is, all through the discussion these able lawyers were at a disadvantage from the known weak ness of their cause. Of Mr. Evarts' last speech and his position in the whole matter the Washington Star makes the following comment: "In his speech yesterday on the Edmunds resolutions Mr. Evarts naturally felt called upon to explain the apparent discrepancy between his views of the! Tennre-of-Office act expressed during the Johnson impeachment trial and the views of the majority of , the pres ent Judiciary Committee to which he has subscribed. This is how he did it: "I might say that, when counsel are urging and pressing propositions in view and in aid of a defendant in charge, those are scarcely judicial opinions." This is true beyond .ques tion. Many a judge on the bench has Tbeen obliged to fortify himself against the resurrection of his arguments as a lawyer by some such frank confession as : "I was then hired to make the worse appear the better reason ; I am now hired to tell the truth." But what refuge is left to an attorney who still remains an attorney, and whose logic in behalf of a Senate plaintiff against a President defendant in 1886 conflicts with his logic in behalf of a President defendant against a Senate plaintiff in 1869? Mr. Evarts' explanation of his alleged changfikof base would have been simpler, at Ijeast, if he had said : "I was retained to attack the Tenure-of-Office law seventeen years ago ; I am retained to uphold it now." Never theless, the same question would have presented itself after such a statement that is called up by his argument yes terday: Which of your two opinions, Mr. Evarts, are we to accept as made in good faith!" WHO HAS CHANGED ? There has been -much claptrap in some of the Republican arguments against the President's policy. ;5 Demo cratic criticism, too, has not "always been free from a demagogy unworthy the men and papers resorting to it; No man who has occupied the Presi dential chair has ever.been more sin cere, and certainly no man in our times has hppn better able to express what was in his mind than Mr. Cleveland. It is claimed by the Republicans that the President has receded from the grounds first occupied in the con troversy with the Senate. Let us see from certain letters ex changed between Mr. Morrill and Mr. Manning who it is who has changed. We conv from that anti-Cleveland A sheet, the New York Sun, which, as against the Democratic Executive, must be considered good authority, it accepted by his friends, as we hereby accept it on the point involved, name ly the authenticity of the letters below: Committee on Finance. U. S. Senate, January 5, 18SG. Dear Sir Referring to the accom panying nomination of in place of , suspended, will you please communicate to the Committee on Finance, United States Senate, the reasons for such suspension, or .the papers on Tile in your Department show the reasons for this suspension ? Very truly yours, Justin S. Morrill, Chairman. Hon. Sec. Treasury, Washington. Hereupon followed the refusal of Secretary Manning to give reasons or papers, the debate in the benate and the President's message. another style of request. Committee on Finance. U. S. Senate, March 17, 1886. Dear Sir Will you please advise the Committee on Finance whether or not there are any papers or charges on file reflecting against the official or moral character of , late Collec tor of Internal Revenue for the First District of , suspended. It there are any sucn papers or charges will you please communicate their nature and character to the com mittee ? Very trulv yours, Justin S. Morrill. Hon. Daniel Manning, Secretary of the Treasury. the president' mollified. March 19, 1886. Hon. Justin S. Morrill, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance. Sir Your communication on behalf of the Finance Committee of the Sen ate, dated March 17, 1S86, asking whether or not there are any papers Lor charges on file reflecting against the official or moral character or , late Collector of Internal Revenue for the First District of , suspended, is received. In reply thereto 1 have the honor to state that, so far as this inquiry re lates to a suspension from office, I feel bound by the rules laid down in the President's recent message to the Sen ate upon the general subject of such suspensions. But in order that I may surely act within the requirements of the statute relating to the furnishing by this De partment of information to the Senate, I beg leave to remind the committee that the office referred to has no fixed term attached to it, and to further state that the President is satisfied that a change in the incumbency of mid office witt result in an improvement of the public service, and that the policy of the present Administration tcttl be better carried out by such change. Except as the same may be involved in these considerations', no papers containing charges reflecting upon the official or moral character of the suspended officer raen: tioned in your communication are in the custody of this Department. Respectfully yours, D. MannJng, Secretary. The Messenger fails to see how any sensible man can read this more than one way. He cannot and be honest in his reading. The obvious meaning of the passage first italicised is that the President thought that the suspen sion of an official and the appointment of another person in his stead would improve the service ; and not onlyso, but an additional and subsidiary rea son political, if you please was urged, that the policy of the present Administration would be better car ried out. Here are two reason, either of which is sufficient, and the first of which is a better reason than has here tofore been insisted on by Mr. Cleve land's Republican predecessors. We think it is full high time for Messieurs the Republican Senators, and espe cially such sarcastic wiseacres as Messrs. Edmunds and Ingalls, to crave the public pardon for making false issues. This President has held them rigidly down to the text. They have sought very sophistically to misrepre sent him. But he has stood by his principles from first to last. They are the liars and hypocrites. Pretending to seek fair play and honest abiding by the letter of published declarations, they have shifted position with each request made as shown in the cor respondence above and then have claimed at lastthat they have never asked for the President's reasons for making removals; What are we to think of such mendacious hardihood T It is claimed that the President has permitted Mr. Manning to assign rea sons after first refusing. The collec tors of internal revenue, about whom the correspondence in question took place, have no term of office, are not included in the Tenure-of-Office act, and therefore the President chose to state a general reason for his action without for a moment recognizing the right of the Senate to demand it at his hands. If there is any recession here, we fail to discern the slightest trace of it. The President has not changed. The Senate started out by refusipg to confirm the appointees of the Admin istration. It closes its contention by confirming many of these appointees and by adopting a barren resolution declarative of its opinion merely. The Senate has changed. It was forced to change by stress of untoward circum stancesuntoward for the Republican braggart majority, we mean. After this of what worth are Mr. Edmunds' "precedents' or Mr. Ingalls' 4 ,points!" REPORT OF THE CIVIL SER VICE COMMISSION. The President is not a man to grow weary of a cause once embraced ar dently because some of his friends are discouraged i The President is as brave in action as in council. With the third annual report of the Civil Service Com mission he s0nt a message to the Con gress, in which he said : "The exhibit "thus made 'of the operations of the "Commission and the account thus "presented of the results following the "execution of the Civil Service law "cannot fail! to demonstrate its useful "ness and strengthen the conviction "that this scheme for a reform in the "methods ojf administering the Gov "ernment isi no longer an experiment "Wherever this retorm has gained a "foothold it! has steadily advanced in "the esteem) of those charged with the "public administrative duties, while "the peoples who desire good govern "nient have constantly been confirmed "in their high estimate of its value "and efficiency. With the benefits it "has already secured to the public ser- "vice plainly apparent, and with its "promise oflincreased usefulness easily "appreciated, this cause is commended ;to the liberal care and jealous pro jection of Congress." The report says that the whole num ber of persons examined during the year has been 7,602, of whom 6,872 were males and 730 were females The whole number thus rar examined since the act was passed has been 17, 491. Of the 7,602 examined during the past year, 5,034 attained the mini muni of 65 per cent., which makes them eligible for appointment, and 2,563 fell below it. The average age of all those examined was 30 years The whole number of appointments made during the past year from those examined has been 1,876, each for the probationary period of six months. In two years 4,176 have been appoint ed. At this rate the whole number of places to which the examinations ex tend will be filled by applicants exam ined under the rules in from eight to ten years. ; The report says that under all circumstances and in every part of its work the Commission has had the cordial and unswerving support of the President and the heads of the Depart ments. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Mr. Manning's Dangerous Illness. Passage of the Barren Resolutions Through the Senate. LStaff Correspondence of the Messenger. Washington, March 27. The Sec retary of the Treasury is a very sick man, and the physicians are extremely reticent as to his condition and the prospects of his recovery. There has been much talk during the past two days of his resignation. It is certain that he cannot ever again undertake the control of the vast affairs of the Treasury Department. As far as has -been .ascertained Mr. Manning has given all those about him great anxietyrom the first. He has undergone no change, and that may mean something favorable or it may not. The latest from his residence this afternoon was that the Secretary was resting comfortably. In the event of the death or resigna tion of Mr, Manning, Mr. Fairchild, the Assistant Secretary, would proba bly succeed to the chief Secretaryship. He is a gentleman of fine abilities and a thorough routine knowledge of the duties of the position. The Education bill's friends devel oped nothing new in their meeting to day. They endorsed Mr. Willis' plan of introducing the Blair bill and get ting it referred to a committee likely to report it favorably. The House passed the Indian Ap propriation bill Wednesday and took up the Postoffice bill, which was not passed after several hours discussion on the following day. There were some partisan passages on Thursday. The Library bill is second bill on the calendar, and cannot be reached in many weeks. Mr. Singleton's speech did the business. It ws a clear case of gas or pass, and gas was master of the situation. If he had refrained from the pleasure of hearing himself and brought the bill to a vote it would probably have passed then and there. On Thursday Senator Hoar reported a bill, -which passed, establishing a commission composed of the Secretary of State, ;the Librarian of Congress and the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution to examine and report upon the character and value of manuscripts belonging to Congress. Senator Frye repoited a bill to pro vide for the encouragement of Ameri can shipping and to subsidize lines carrying the United States mails to foreign countries. The bill appropri ates $1,100,000. The Edmunds resolution was dis cussed by Senators Voorhees and Evarts. , The galleries were full, and the same attention was paid as during" the early days of the discussion. The House held ai special session Thursdayj night to eulogize the late Congressman Rankin, of Wisconsin. The Senate has recently confirmed a large number of receif ers, land reg isters and other minor appointments besides collectors of internal revenue. There's nothing like a graceful back down when you can't make your ene my back down. The Democratic Senators failed to get a quorum at their caucus yester day, but they discussed informally Mr. Van Wyck's proposition for open ses sions. Many of the .Democratic Sena tors are in fapr of it. But the secret sessions will continue a while longer. The principal event of yesterday's proceedings in the two houses was the speech of Mr. Ingalls, of Kansas, in favor of the Republican position in the Senate-Executive controversy. He had a good audience and made a charac teristic speech abounding in hits, but I thought his anument was not as at- ixciuiito UfS Ills rujcwii' viuci-spcaA- ers were Mr. Harrison and Gen. Logan. r mat action took place at hair-past U o'clock at night.' In the House the Chaplain prayed for the Secretary of the Treasury, and that the President, the Cabinet and the members of the two houses of Con gress "may lay to heart this example of overwork and bear in mind that the body has its laws, the study and prac tice of which are bounden on everv man of sense." ! In the Pan Electric! examination it is understood that Senator Harris will be a witness after Col. Casey Young. The examination has developed noth ing new and important so far. It is held in Gen. Cox's committee room in the sub-basement of the Capitol. Senatorial peccadilloes are just now being discussed here with more than the accustomed freedom One of the special meannesses of the haughty Senate is the matter of free shaves at the Senate barber shop and the free baths at the Senate bathing room. The Senators, it is suggested, will also have to provide washwomen for pri vate use and send over the white clothes from their domiciles. The spe cial meanness of the House members for the Representatives pay their barber when they don't "burn" him out of his fees is their demagogical penuriousness in mineral waters. The Senate takes by divine right, so to say, all the Apollinaris it wants. The House is more afraid of the people, exaept on the occasion of "wakes," and slips across to the other chamber when it desires to cure its obscure dis ease or cool its internal heat. These be parlous times or rather will be when the people fully understand what is up. N. B. The two Senate barbers cost $1,720 a year. The River and Harbor Committee completed their bill to-day and author lzed its report to the House. The total amount appropriated under it is large, $15,164,200. I was not able to obtain the amounts appropriated for Nortn Carolina; the places have already been giyenr As the amounts will be materially changed, as usual, in the Senate, I do not deem it important what is appropriated in the bill as it stands. The House Postoffice Committee has authorized a report against the pro posed doubling of rates on fourth-clas mail matter, or merchandise. Mr. Anderson's bill provides for a United States Commission of Arbitra tion, composed of nine persons, only nve or wnom snail belong to one polit ical party. Three are to be recom mended by the Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers, three by the Knights of Labor, and three by that association of farmers having the largest member ship. Their proceedings are to be submitted for revision, approval or disapproval, to the District Judge of the United States. A large committee of citizens ap pointed by Commissioner Webb to consider the project of celebrating the centenary of the inauguration ot the Government in 1789 and the 400th an niversary of the discovery of America by Columbus in 1492, assembled at Willard's Hall Wednesday evening. Among the speeches made some were in opposition to asking the citizens of the District to contribute. It was finally agreed to submit the question of how the matter should be presented to the Congress to a committee of five. The Merchants' and Manufacturers' Association of Baltimore has endorsed the proposed celebration of these great events at Washington. At the second Congressional dinnei given by the President this session, on Thursday evening, Senator Vance and Gen. Cox were present. Vance sat on the left hand of the President, Senator Morrill, Chairman of the Finance Com mittee of the Senate, occupying the chair on the right of the Executive. The Speaker of the House sat next to Mr. Morrill. The House on Thursday agreed to let the compositors and other em ployees of the Government Printing Office have fifteen days leave of ab sence. Mr. Reid took part in the de bate in support of the measure. He conducted through the House two minor matters reported from the Print ing Committee. Mr. Reid s; eaks in the House with dignity and effect, without a particle of flourish. Some of the older members would do well to imitate his sobriety of tone and sim plicity of method. I heard a distin guished Senator say day before yes terday that he thought Mr. Reid would be one of the great men of North Car olina. His father was one of the State's greatest men.' The House has set Saturday, April 17th,' as the day for the consideration of small bills not exceeding $25,000 re ported fr6m the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds. I understand that there is an expectation that the Newbern, Charlotte and Statesyille bills will be reported favorably by the sub-committee to which they were re ferred. It is not expected that all of these bills will pass at the present ses sion. Statesville has probably the best opportunity to secure the next building after Wilmington TheAshe ville bill has passed both Houses. The Wilmington bill has passed the Senate and has received a favorable report in the House. Col. Green presented on Thursday the petition of 34 citizens of Onslow and Carteret counties praying for in land navigation between New River and Swansboro. It was referred to the Committee on Rivers and Harbors. The North Carolina Domocratic As sociation met last night and organized, having about twenty members. Mr. T. B. Womack, of Chatham, Clerk of the House Committee on Reform in the Civil Service, was elected Presi dent ; Mr. James Madison Leach, Jr., of Davidson, Chief of Division in the Interior Department, Vice President ; Mr. John W. Hays, of Granville, of the Geological Survey, Treasurer; Mr. J. S. Tomlinson, of Buncombe, of the Civil Service, Secretary; these four and Mr. H. G. Williams, of Wilson, Assistant Superintendent of the House Document Room ; Mr. John B. Hus sey, of Guilford, Chief of Division in the Treasury Department, and Mr. J. W. Powell, of Sampson, Clerk of the House Committee on Ventilation and Acoustics, members of the Executive Committee. The constitution and by laws adopted specially provide against any infringement of the Civil Service law. The association is composed of the young ad progressive element of the Democracy. Some of its members assure me to-day that such a speech as George D. Wise's at the Virginia As sociation last night would certainly not be applauded, and would be con sidered by most of the members of the North Carolina Association as highly injudicious and out of taste. The as- sociation is expected to do much good, especially in purifying the lists in the Departments. Already something has been effected. Out of. seven persons credited to Gen. Cox's district three are not from North Carolina, and a fourth belongs to another district. Mrs A.M. Waddell. of. Wilmington, is visiting the family of her husband's brother, Mr. Hugh Waddell, of this city. Judge Bennett, who has been on leave of abrence for something over.sa week, has returned. Messrs. J. A. Long and A. R. rou- shee and son and Miss S. G. Thaxton, of Roxboro, were in Washington on Thursday, j Mr. . H. H. Munsen, of Wilmington, was here yesterday. Miss Annie J. Lewis, of larboro, has passed a very creditable Civil Ser vice examination and has been placed on the list of eligibles for appointment. C. W. 11. New Advertisements..
