I havei heard that suspicion haunts the footstepsjof trusted companions of the President. These things have pa Med into history. And he- lived to see more. He lived to see a Vice-President of the United States driven in disgrace and humiliation from bis exalted position in the other end of the eapitol, and he lived to a President exalted to' his high station by such questionable means that not all the honors heaped upon hfrn oould command the respect of event bis own party, and who even while living is mentioned only to' mar VA vepoh n our history which we wnuloTgladly far get. Under such circumstances good men every where appreciated the indis pensible necessity for a reform in the civil service. In 1864 a bill was introduced looking to the appointment of applicants to office by a .test of competitive examination and a reward of merit. Politicians op posed it because it deprived thorn of that great patronage which enabled them to pay their political debts by the appointments to public offices.; But, sir, that system which, contemplated testing the qualifications of men and ap pointing them on the list of merit was not so easily disposed of.

It is no argu ment against this law to Bar it has not teen carried out in good faith ; but on tne contrary it presents forcible reasons why we should seek to amend and im prove it. j As faithful guardians of the public interest it behooves us first to in quire whether a law in itself is right, and ii it is right we should throw such restrictions around it as would punish and dishouor those who willfullv vio late it. - -' ;Uy It That it does improve and elevate the publio service when ' carried;' out in its purity and integrity there iare none so bold as to deny; The Pemooratie com mittee of this . House on reform in the civil service in the forty-eighth Congress gave it their unanimous - indorsement. Tho President in his recent message to Congress said it was no' longer an experi ment but was accomplishing; all its most partial .friends claim for it. i The (Jovernor of New York, the ideal Democrat of the young Zemocraov. in his inaugural address spoke of the good it was aoeompiishing, in the; highest terms, and Governors j Robinson, of Massachusetts, and Hoadly, of Ohio, strongly indorse this reform. Not only this, but the legislative assembly of North Carolina, both 'before and since the election of the President, has ex pressed its approval of the measure. uiga kw vu sua Hive ciiaaous uom uu tinguished statesmen and writers in and out of publio position who have added their testimony in behalf of civil service reform, i u;K- i : Probably the most determined but theoretic spoilsman who ever occupied the White House was Andrew Johns' n, for he was unable to carry his purpoM into practice by reason of the impedi ments tnat were thrown in his way by the Congress of the United States. In 1846 Ee introduced a bill In Congress or a most; demagogical character in re gard to rotation in office. In 1361 he aserted it was the duty of Southern Senators to thwart every plan of the in coming administration by rejecting all residential nominations: 'not ad van. tageous to the South. In 1866 he openly defied the power oi congress to cnecx nis course in re gard to removals, and as be swung around tie circle he declared in his speech at St. Louis, in speaking of those then in ojnoe, "if you the people wil stand by pne 1 will kick them out as fast as lean." I do not wish to be un derstood as participation in this auarre between the Republisan party and their chosen executive, but allude to the quarrel in order to ahow the bitfer eon tests which have heretofore nrevailed in regard to the aonointments to nffirui Mr. Lincoln had declared that the pres sure in his time was s great; that he had not tame to devote to the preserva tion of the Union; that he felt like a man who; was letting apartments in the front part of his house, and .had not time to turn around and put out the fire which was oonsuming the rear, j To present but an imperfect outline of the corruption and demoralization of the civil ; service of this government I need but to call your attention to the remarks I made by Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, on the' trial of Belknap. He stated that in the brief period he had been in 1 publio life he hid seen fiva judges of high , eourts pf, the United States driven from office by threats of impeaohaient; he had seen in the State of this Union foremost in pqwer and wealth four of her judges impeached for corruption; he had seen the chair man of the committee on military affairs rise in his place and demand the expul sion of four of his associates for making Bale of their official privilege of select- its inspiring motives And the reform will go on despite the opposition of I grasping politicians. lalk about it being aristocratic to appoint men on account of merit instead of political influence! Why, sir, it is the very genius and essence of democracy. t brings the omces within the reach of the people, and says to the tenant of the humblest hamlei "qualify yourself to serve your country and if you have merit you shall e rewarded without re spect to influence or power."

He had Been the Congress of the United States pass this law in 1883; he i had seen in the Senate and in the House the records of the votes for and against it, and that the efforts of all seemed directed toward the perfection and not the destruction of the law.

So great was the pressure of publio opinion that after' a long, able and protracted debate, when a vote was taken on the bill, but five Senators were found to record their votes against it, nau.ely : Messrs Brown, Call, Jonas, Mcpherson and Morgan, while fifteen Democrats were found voting with the majority. When the Senate bill was brought over to the House and put upon its pas. sage, in the half-hour's debate which ensued there was ho voice! on either side of the' House condemning the reform, and those who opposed the measure did so because they feared the provision in regard to political assess ments was not sufficiently stringent, and the vote recorded was 155 yeas to 4 nays If this law means nothing, why was it suffered to pass with such unanimity?

One is to the effect that he will, immediately after t' e adjournment of Congress, go to the Adirondaoks; another has it that he will spend the heated term in Michigan; some say he will only go as far as his newly-purchased country place near this city; and this, one says this, and that one says that. The probabilities are that neither Mr. Cleveland nor his wife nor any one else yet knows where the White House pair will go or what the new partners in life will do this summer. The prospects are that they will stay here for; some; time to oome, for Congress will probably not adjourn for two month yet. I had a good look at Mrs. Cleveland yesterday.

As was Anticipated, id my letter of last Sunday, there has j been a lively discussion of the civil service law in the House this week, precipitated by that clause in the legislative;' appropriation bill affecting two of tho ! present rules Your telegraphic renorls .of Congres sional proceedings furnished your read- ers with the gist of the; discussion. As tbe wires told you, Gen4 Cox was the chief defender of the law and 'his re marks elicited frequent spnlause.

You got! a wrong im pression from your report which led you to think that Mr. Randall attacked air. vieveiana. in nis strictures on the President,'; in connection with this rule, he had reference to Mr. Arthur. It is a sad commentary on the consisten cy of such a rule to note, as I have noted, that tnere are, tbousands of clerks now serving the government who are over 60 years of age, and many of them have celebrated their YUth birth day. But a: new man mnsn t appl if he is 49 years oldl lie is too ag Get out, you old decrepit cemetery! In justioe to Gen. Cox. however, it should be stated .that he was not defending this rule specially, but; was' protesting against such a "rider" on an appropria tion bill; and he further stated that he had reason to believe thft it was the in tention of the President and the civil so vice commissioners to modify ana amend the present; rules governing ex examinations ana appointments, nis defence of President Cleveland was well delivered and called forth frequent de monstrations of approval from tbe "ad ministration men and from luauy mem bers on the "other side." BAMPALL AMD TUB BJt VJtS CK, r It was a surprise to our delegation hi d the other members of - the. House, who are laboring to amend '.and modify the present internal revenue laws, to note the course pursued ' by Mr. Randall when Col. Cowles offered oae of his revenue bills aa an amendment to the oleomargarine bill. They were also surprised at the : stand : taken by Mr. Morrison. Mr. Randall, who has hitherto professed to favor even the repeal of these Odious laws, voted against Col. Cowles' amend ment. Mr. Morrison very unexpect edly worked and voted, for it. Mr. Morrison has since told a member of our delegation that he intended to do what he could to lift this " internal rev enue" burden from our shoulders. f AXSirnHQ THB f ACTS.
