It is to be tested in the United States District. Court in New ,York Mr. James A. Hinkley has taken the neeessary prelioiinary etepa ' t c m-. pel Mr. Dorman 1. ' 5 Eaton and the .otlu-r members of: the: Civil Service Uonnnissioit to ' dhow 'by ' What authority they undertake to say who ghal! be appointed to certain offices in the United States. : That a strong argument can be made both for and against the Civil Service law is ap parent, because already arguments of : this kind have been ' uiade in ' the Congress., f . . i ' r . The constitutionality of the law1 is one thing, and the wisdom and pro priety of such a law is another ques-. tion. The Stab believes that the President is compelled to observe the law. He cannot violate it with safe ty or with consistency, fie is the Chief Executive and : must' execute law. lie is also pledged to its,or servanoe, as his party is. Bo of the 111,000 persons holding , office the law only extends to about 15,000. What may the President do as to the others? Some he can appoint with out Congressional interferencewhilst others mut-t be confirmed by the Sen ate.. That body is Republican. ', It may or may not pursue a-captions ami unfriendly course in the matter of confirming appointments, or it may, as Democratic Senates' have done, ilisplay a magnanimous, patri otic spirit. ) ; i" ,. -.''; ? As to the law of the Civil Service it cannot cqntrol the President in the appointing of ; the smaller officers. The Constitution empowers the Con- gress to confer the appointing power of certain " infefrior :officerB":: upon the President or upon the courts of law or upon the heads of the Depart--merit H.t If the Civil Service law con travenes this or.attempts to abridge, the constitutional powers of the Pres ident and the heads of Departments it must go to the wall, for it is viola tive, of both the spirit ' and . letter of J the organic la w ; It to !be deter- raineil if the Civil Service law does undertake - to limit the President' powers It is here that the advocates an oppofters of ! the law W?H loc horns. The probability ') appeaFSilo be that .the law does 3 abridge; the rights and powers of .the President. The Savannah News cites an instfnc- tive case.'- Iisay'stl ''fC'.''t'-.t'! " When Mr. Arthur vetoed the bill whioa directed him to appoint Fitz John Porter to a position in the army, there was some talk; about passing the bill over the veto. -The talk came to nothing, however, because it was doubted by some of the imost earnest advocates of the measure that Congress had any power to direct the appointment of, any one to an office."

Tariff. i Repre sentatrver "Mills' of 'Texas," a man of and legislative experience, is said to have prepared a bill with ex ceeding care the general principle of which is to raise the revenue actually needed,' and no; more, ' by 'levying a tax " upon the luxuries and-to make the tax on the common necessaries of life as low as it is possible tot make them, due regaid of coarse being had to tha paramount question of re venue. We rejoice that one member of the Congress is wise and experienced and just enough to strike for reform' and redaction in the right direction.'' The Stab has been waging battle on that line for a long 1 time. It has had bat comparatively .few allies among the ' papers of the- State. - bat it has not been without hope that at last right views will prevail. The Tariff in all of its bearings needs to be-di8cu'ssed and with ' iteration and earnestness, with clearness and force. The people do not know how. wrong, how one-sided, how oppressive..' itln or they would rise up as one man and change it. lhey are toe true source of all political power. ' ; ; Why should not the luxuries of a country pay the taxes ? t England un derstands ttis f ar o better than it is understood in North Carolina. To bacco pays a great sum for the.qnp port of the Britub Government. The tax is very heavy. upon it. ' Why should ' the common neces saries of life be made to bear an. op- pressive tax that a few and in many casea a very fewmay prosper, but at the expense of the laboring classes of a great , country ? If there was more intelligence in the land this grievous ana laiquaiqus paraen wouia not be borne' to meekly and uncom-. piainfngiy. i i ;., j ;;,) ; Mr. Mills is wise in another ' par-' ticnlar. ; lie proposes to raise enough money to meet the necessary expen ditures of ; the Government', and nb more, "He knows the1 wrng"don,etb the people' in " wresting from tbem more tax than i -necessarj and, he well: understands,' lie1 dangers Sbat lark in surplus fund in the Treasury.

Peckham, Past AasisUnt United States Sargeoa. loca ted at this port, the government baa decid ed to erect The plans and specifications indicate aa unique and haadtome design. Is will be a twoslory cottage, of wood.con- tatning eight rooms, with detached kitchen. ue rooms to be high pitched and 14 feet square, with the exception of the parlor, which will. be 18 by 14 feet The cottage will front to the west a the Hospi tal now f mats, and will have verandas on south and west skies. It is to be lighted by gas, healed by crates, provided with hot aad cold water and all modera convenien ces. The cottage will be surrounded by a lawn and beaotifal grounds. The erection of this building supplies a recognised want The quarters of the sargeoa being removed from the Hospital, the entire space of that bailding remains for accommodating the seamen, and the cottage Itself may be utilised for a like purpose whenever neces sary. We congratulate Dr. Peckham upon the success of his recommendation. It is pleasant to record, in this connection, that while comparatively a stranger la our com munity, Dr. Peckham is held in high es teem among our people for his abilities and charade. x i w1"'' " Dssa Creak.?
