A CIYII, SERVICE CASE.
The case of keliar, of .Ohio, to
which reference was ma'de in our
"Washington dispatches! of 'Wednes
day night, was disposed of yesterday
by Secretary Manning, by setting

and simple under the civil service
law., Keliar had stood his examina
tion, was found competent and wa?
duly placed upon the list for appoint
ment when his ser vice were, required
He was notified and in, pursuance
" of that order went to Washington t
enter upon duty. Unexpectedly to
him he was informed by. the .First
. Auditor, that he was not wanted, f the
reason b3ing tfiaf hewas objected to
by Con grrsaman-Warner, and repre
sented tobe offensive to the , Demov

ip. Ohio. Very properly he presented
his case to the civil service commis

there could be no anegation of off eh
siv partisanship,.-for Keliar was not
in oince. ana as a citizen ne naa a
perfect ribt to takean active part
for tbe success of his party,' and, be
ing a Repub'ican, to oppose the elec
tion of Mr; "Warner if he sa w fit. In
his method of doing this he may have
been off ensi ve to. Mr .Warner "and
. other Democrats, but that did not
give Mr. Warner the right to punish
him by, denying him an appointment
to which he was entitled, under the
law - Mr. Warner went just a little
too far in making tfiisjequest and the
First Auditor went a great deal too'
far in granting it: We are not much
or an aamirer 01 tne present sty le m
civil service proceedings, but while

First Assistant Postmaster General
Hay was attacked day before yester
day by a severe chill' and has j been
confined to his' room since the even
ing o' that day. He is improving,
and hopes to be at his desk again
within two or. three, days. His ab
sence from the department has revivs
ed the rumor that he has resigned.
This, Mr. Hay say s, is not true.
There is good reason for believing,
however, that under the advice of
his physicians, he seriously thinks
of resigning and that probably he
will resign at a very early date.
MR KEILEY WILL NOT' BE RECALLED-.
It is understood that Mr. Keiley,
recently appointed United States
minister to Austria, whose appoint
ment has occasioned considerable
comment, will not be recalled. He
will go to Vienna, and should , the
Austrian government refuse to re
ceive him, it is intimated that .the
United States government will re
main unrepreseht3d at the Vienna
court. It is held that Keiley is a
capable man and in erery way fitted
to fill the position to whioh he has
been assigned! When he" was ap
pointed United- State3 minister to
Italy he was endorsed by tbe entire
congressional delegation of Virginia
and was confirmed by the Senate.
The Italian government,1 it is , under
stood, made inquiry of this govern
ment, whether or not Keiley had
given utcerance in a public, speech. in
1871 to -his; sentiments in opposition
to1 the occupation of Rome by Victor
Himanuel I The termer government,
afterwards, v it is . said; protested
against his appointment and; Keiley
resigned his commission." It is held
that the. Austrian government has no
ground to complain of Keiley's pres
ent appointment The question has
been raised whether ; or ; not it was
uncomplimentary to Austria to send
Keiley to Vienna after he had been
rejected byvItaly. It is asserted that
,ine appointment was not 1 uncompii
