Wabhihotok, Oct. 20 Senator Blackburn to-day submitted a volu minous minority report from the committee on the operation of the ciyil service law, and asked that it be printed with the majority report. The very elaborate report of the ma jority, says the minority, gives evi dence of many months of careful s reparation.; No information, it is eclared, waa furnished to the minor ity of the committee of the purpose to close the case, nor was it even in timated that the end had been reached and the matter summed up. For this reason the minority waa un able in the few days allowed them to follow out in detail the "tediously stated case,'' bufit would endeavor to 'illustrate more fairneas in deal ing with the; testimony than the ma jority had done." It is declared that an effort had persistently been made by the majority against the protest of the minority to limit inquiry to the1 time covered by the present ad ministration, and all efforts to bring oat the facts as to the operation of the law under previous Republican administrations were invariably de nied by a strict party vote. Despite the effortaJof the majority, however, the report declares that it appeared from the testimony of seve ral of their witnesses that all the evils and abuaes complained of today came down to this administration aa an inheritance The levying of as sessment! Opon government officers for pertiaaa porpoaea waa in generar, ii npt universal, practice, prior to March, 1884,; and discrimination in the matter of appointment because of political viawa waa proven to be by no means a novel feature, nor one whih been introduced by the pres ent administration. The testimony with regard to the New York Custom House, it is de clared, shows that aine-tenthe of the witnesses who testified were dismissed officials, anxious to air their grievan ces and to take it that outrage bad been ceroetrated bv reason of reason of their dismissal from office. The minority declare that after reading the majority report carefully. the conclusion ia well-nigh irre sistible that improvement of the civil seryiot of the country was not th idea kept in view ana- that the pur pose : ox the i xramera waa not - fo enlighten tneooontry as was propoa ,d in tht resolution. Nearly fifty type; written pages of the report are devoted to an analysis of the teeti mony taken with respect to New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Indiana, and the points malt in tht maionty report are discussed at length. The report concludes; "If this proof, taken from four citiea of from four States, is to be aooepted at eriuence oi tno preaent eonoiuon oi the civil service throughout- the oountry Intelligent men! will realist and honest men will admit that tods, after nearly four years of Democratic rule, there are ten Republicans hold ing offioe and drawing pay from th4 Federal Treasury where there waa one Democrat in service on the 4th of March, 1885. Under Demoeratid administration it if not to be won dered at, if, conditions being equal, the preference has been given to Democratic applications for office. Plato dreamed of an idea republic, but the world never witnessed its re alization. No system of government or oode of laws has ever been devised by human wisdom that was perfect. Whether the civil servioe law be good or bad, truth and candor compel tht admission that its execution has been more just and fair under this admin istration than ever before. Whether Jiie fidelity with which the President and hia subordinate officers have aought to observe the law was wise, may be disputed, but the honesty of purpoae with which he and they have endeavored to execute it cannot truth fully be denied. An army of offioials is today drawing its maintenance from the treasury of the oountry, and if current reports be true, contributing from their salaries to the effort thai ia being made to dislodge from power the party on whose sufferance they hold their places. In the light of proof suppressed and ia many in stances distorted, the majority report shows it to be a question naturally arising, was ever a mora desperate effort made, employing more reckless and desperate method. to serve or save a more desperate eajiae f Candor will not permit tht claim to be made that In every in stance.every officer of theOovernment superior and subordinate, has been exactly and judiciously fair, and hat acted without regard to tht natural and inevitable bias that oomts froin eineere eonvietiona, bat fair-minded men will take up tho. record and will declare that this administration hat not been lacking in honest, earnest peraiatent,Buooeaaful effort to exeoute tho law and make good the pledges 11 L "j. i . t a " wws n ana im party gave to tnt Amer lean people. .

Putnam' t Sons, New York. WAS PRESIDENT ARTHUR "A British Free Trader, bought by British Gold, and a Democratic Hessian ? " Cheater A. Arthur's Letter of Acceptance, 1880 : Such changes should be made in the present tariff system of taxation as shall relieve every bur dened industry, and enable our artisans and manufacturers to compete successfully with those of other lands. President Arthur, Annual Message, 1883 : A total abolition of excise taxes toould almost inevitably prote a serious, if not an insurmountable obstacle to a thorough revision of the tariff, and to any considerable reduc tion in import duties. The present tariff By stem is, in many respects, unjust. It makes unequal distributions, both of it h burdens and Its. bene fits. ' I recommend an enlargement of t he free list so as to include within it the numerous articles which yield inconsiderable revenue, a sim plification of the complex and inconsistent schedule of duties upon certain manufactures, particularly those of cotton, iron and steel, and a substan tial reduction of the duties upon those articles, and upon sugar, molasaes, silk,- wool and woolen goods. President Arthur, JtatrfA Message, 1884: The healthful enlargement of our trade with Europe, Asia and Africa should be sought by reducing tariff burdens on such of their wares as neither we nor the other American States are fitted to produce, and thus enabling ourselves to obtain In return a better market for our supplies Of food, of raw materials, and of the manufactures in which we excel. From the Report of the Republican Tariff Commission appointed by President Arthur, 1881 1 It would seem that the rates of duties under the existing tariff fixed, for the most part, during the war under the evident necessity at that time of stimulating to its utmost extent all domestic production might be adapted, through reduc tion, to the present oonditkm of peace requiring no such extraordinary stimulus. And in the mechanical and manufacturing industries, espec ially those which have been long established, it would seem that the improvements in "machinery and processes made within the last twenty yean, and the high scale of productiveness which has become a character istic of their establishments. Would permit our manufacturers to compete with their foreign rivals under a substantial reduction of existing duties. Entertaining these views, the Commission has sought to present a scheme of tariff duties in which substantial reduction should be the dia tingulshing feature. The average reduction in rates, including that from the enlargement of the free list and the abolition of the dutiea on charges and commissions, at which the commission has aimed, is not less on the average than 20 per cent, and it is the opinion of the Commission that the reduction will reach 25 per cent. The Mills' Bill proposes a reduction of leas than 5 per centj Passengers taking the B.

The closingj nours of the session of Uongrees were comparable to those of none of ita predecessors within the memory of a - . . " H the present generation. The bustle and excitement, the crowded corri dors, the anxiety of claimants and the lobby efforts of legislators in behalf of belated measures were conspicu ously missing. In the Senate gallery the audience of a score of individuals at 11 o clock had increased to two or three hundred, and these looked down in placid silence on a roun dozen of Senators and the eomni ment of clerks, pagea and attendant busily doing nothing upon the flooitf of the Chamber. The dignity an? decorum of the body were preserved to the end, despite the meagreness of numbers, and the fact that there waa less than a quorum present, and that the body waa practically powerless for any legislative purpose was suc cessfully concealed from the official eye of the offioial reporter. Osten sibly the tariff bill waa under discus sion but practically not a word was said on the subject. The greater part of the first hour waa spent in a re cess formally proposed by Senator Allison and formally ordered by the Senate but the last hour, with a few momentary interruptions, was spent in a state of suspended animation of waiting for the time of adjournment. Sixty seconds before 1 o'clock the President pro tern, arose, and with the utterance of his first syllable a hush of profound silence fell on the body. With the fall of the ravel, which formal! terminated the irst session of the Fiftieth Congress, I the audience, attendants, and even Senators, relieved now from the oper ations oitne rigid senate rules, ap plauded the brief though dignified and covetly remarks of the chair Th BplrHmallsta la Platter. Forty years ago that variety of "spiritualism " known as "spirit rap ping naa its origin in a family by the name or r ox, living at Ujdevillc, Wayne county, New York. This family waa much disturbed by unex plained knockings or rap pings in the house. The report of them created a great deal of local excitement, and it increased to such an extent' that an investigation was made into the mat ter, which seemed to show that none of the Fox family were concerned in producing the rappings. The two JTox girls, Margaret and Hate, pro fessed to have discoverecT that the cause of the sounds waa intelligent, and would make raps as requested by the girls, who aoon became recognized mediums. Communication being thus established, the raooer professed to be the spirit of a murdered cobbler, and aa human bones were subsequent ly -discovered in the caller of the house, they were very generally ac cepted as those of the murdered cob bler, Xhe fame of Kate and Margaret Fox speedily outgrew the neighbor hood, and leaving home, they held seances in the house .of a married sister, Leah Fox. at that time the wife of David Underbill. She, too, embraced spiritualism. Other per sons supposed to be similarly endow ed aoon assumed the name of mediums and became spirit rappers and trance speakers, and professed in different ways o establish communication with lost relations and deceased eminent men. The movement spread from the United States to England, and from thence to France, Germany, Spain and Spanish. America, and so great waa the fame of the Fox girls 'that Margaret Fox became the wife of Elisha Jient Kane, the arctic ex plorer, who, being in ill-health, at tended her aeanoea, and waa a firm believer in her extraodinarv powers. Kate Fox married a Mr. Jeneken,now deceased, and has had trouble to get possession of her children because of her alleged habits of dissipation. Theaa two women, now sixty or more years old, have lived for along period in England, butr becoming disgusted from some cause with spiritualism, propose to continue in the United States the blow struck at spiritualism in England by "Maggie " Fox Kane, greatly to the consternation of that sect there, and to the alarm of ita fol lowers in this country, where they are said to number three millions.
