Tlio President lias appointed Henry
G. Pcnrson ns post master of Now
York. Jlr. l'oarnoii Is tho present In
cumbent, and Is n republican. His ap
pointment was mndo at tlio request of
many business men of tlio city Irrcupec
tivo of party. Ho has not been an no
tivo rmitisnn, and it is said that ho is
the best post master New York baa
ever had. His retention is sharply cri
ticised by the politicians and office
seekers, but It is considered to bo di
rectly in accordance with tlio Presi
dents expressed views on civil scrvico
reform.
A now point in banking law is set
tled in tho opinion just filed by Juslieo
Paxson in tho cno of tlio First Nation
al Bank of Scranlon against Higbeo &
Co. Higbeo & Co., drow a thirty days'
draft on John U. Gillespie for $700 70.
The draft was accepted, but not paid,
and was returned to tho Philadelphia
bank from which it had been received.
Afterwards Gillespio sent his brother
to the Scrantnn bank with $G00 to ap
ply to tho payment of this draft, and
when informed that it had been return
ed to tho Philadelphia bank, tho SG00
was loft with tho cashier, who gavo
tho brother a certificate of deposit in
favor of John B. Gillespie for 600 "to
pay Hi&beo draft." Beforo tho draft
was returned Gillespio drew a check
for SG00 and tho bank paid tho monoy.
Higbeo & Co. afterward learned of tho
deposit and brought suit against tbo
bank on tho ground that, having re
ceived tho deposit for a specific pur
pose, it should not havo paid tho mon
oy out in any other way, even on Gil
lespie's order. The Lackawanna Coun
ty Court concurred in this view, and
tho plaintiffs got a verdict, but tho
bank appealed, and in reversing tho
judgment Justice Paxson says that
Gillespie has the right to revoke the
direction to pay tho draft at any time
prior to tho application of tho deposit
for that purpose, and that in permit
ting him to withdraw tho monoy tho
bank acted properly.
WASHINGTON LETTEE.
From our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, Mar. 30, 1884.
Government machinery is running
very smoothly nnder the now manage
ment, and it is conceded on all hands
that more and better work is accom
plished under tho now regime. As yet
tho heads of the different departments
havo been able to do very littlo in the
way of reorganization and reform, but
the needlessly complicated systems of
tho various bureaus are receiving care
ful study, and it is expected that from
1500 to 2000 clerks will be discharged
in Washington alono.
A largo crowd gathered about the
stables last Thurday at the salo of
Government horses and carriages or
dered by Secretary Lamar. Tho ele
egant equipages brought good prices,
but the monoy returned to tho U. S.
Treasury is but a small portion of tho
amount that will be saved. An ele
gant and expensive stable with grooms,
drivers, and horses, all costing not less
than S12.000 or 15,000 per year will
no longer be maintained at tho exponso
of the tax payer, and tho examplo of
honesty and democratic frugality will
be felt in nil tho branches of tho ser
vice over which the Secretary of the
Interior presides.
It appears that tho examplo of econ
omy has already been felt by tho Re
publican majority in tho U. S. Senate,
for the caucus has debated a proposi
tion to reduce the expenses of the lux
urious body $75,000 or 100,000 per
year. In tho first place, they propose
to return to Gen. Ben Butler the
Houso for which tho Senato has paid
an annual rental of 815,000, and next,
to reduce the number of clerks and tin
ployees of whom there are many more
than are nseded.
President Cleveland is maintaining
his reputation for a through worker,
I Io keeps cool, does one thing after
another, never attempts to do two
things at once, and has ample time to
look into and examino all the questions
ho is called upon to decide. Ilia hab
its of hard work an J long hours will
enablo him to give the great work bo
foro him conscientious and careful at
tention. There is no doubt that ho is
moro or less bored by the 'crowds of
curious people who, more than mere
office Beekera, aro anxious to see the
President, but ho docs not fret or
vorry. A friend suggested to him tho
other day that a ceitaiu appointment
whioh it was known would particularly
please a certain newspaper might be
advisable on that account. It would
(secure tho friendship of that paper for
his administration absolutely. His re
ply to this was : "Ob, well, they have
all got to como to it, anyhhow. He
does, jn fact, believe that every reputa
blo newspaper in tho United States Is
bound to como to his support, becauso
ho does not intend to adopt any courso
of action as President of tho United
States which reputable journals can
succeed in persuading their readers is
wrong.
When our bilious republican friends
recall their gloomy auguries of what
would follow tho election of a demo
cratio president, they must be amazed
at the accuracy of their imaginations.
A few weeks ago they weio indulging
in horrid visions of long haired tobacco
eating bandits who they thought would
take tho Capitol by storm and rob tho
'truly good ' and daintily nice of their
soft seats and their salaries. No civil
nervioo law, they predicted, could
stand between these long famished
"outs" and tho long withheld good
things of oftico. Tho Union soldier
would have to givo way to tho gaunt
and hungry grey coats. Tho dreaded
democratic President is in the seat so
reo?nlly occupied by Grant, Hayes,
Garfield and Arthur. And yet things
in Washington go on very much ns bo
fore. There is no declino in real cs
tnto consequent upon the dismissed
government clerks having their houses
forced upon the market. In fact there
is no depression anywhere, except in
the minus and hcnits of those clerks
who aro conscious that they have noth
ing to do and hitvu no reason or right
to draw salaries from tho jmblio treas
ury. Outside of this army of Repub
lican spoilsmen, loafers and creatures,
male and female, who have been ap
pointed ond upheld sololy by 'influ
t'licc,1' all Is peacoful and prosperous
in tbo Capitol, and numerous republi
cans are now saying that '.I c clmngo
came not n day too soon.
JEFFERB0N ON REMOVALS FROM
OFFICE.
Now thnt tho Democracy has return
ed to power after twenty-four years of
exile, it finds itself confronted by tho
samo question of patronage manage
ment whioh confronted its founder nt
the commencement of tho century nnd
during his incumbency of tho Presiden
tial office. Tho namo of that great
man is often vainly invoked to sanc
tion or to condemn theories or prac
tices of government which, from their
connection with party passion or inter
est, constitute subjects of continuing
and ardent debate, and upon which
universal agreement of opinion is not
to bo expected. But this announced
views upon any public question, whon
duly considered,wlll nlwass bo instruct
Ive, nnd will often afford its safe guid
ance, even under changed political con
dition!', in modern times.
Ho camo to tlio Presidency at a time
when nearly all public offices were fill
ed by his political enemies, by men who
had been active in opposing his elec
tion, nnd ninny of whom were not well
disposed to republican principles of
government, or at least wero not hopo
fill of their success. Was tho uew
chief magistrate, tho head of a trium
phant party, to act with vigor or with
moderation in making appointments to
office, or in removing his political ene
mies from office, and by what rule9 of
conduct was ho to act in relation there,
to T The answer to these questions is
furnished by government records nnd
by his published correspondence.
1. Ho announced with emphasis his
conviction that it wai both unreason
able and unjust that tho majority party
of tho country should bo excluded from
publio offices of appointment, and bo
compelled to seo those offices filled, al
most exclusively, by their political op
ponents j that this was a wrong which
it was his duty, as it was his inclina
tion, to redress ; and that ho would
proceed to redress it as opportunity
should offer, or should be created by u
proper exercise of tho removing power.
It was his original idea, in pursuing
this object, to depend entirely upon
deaths, resignations, and removals for
delinquency, to furnish vacancies for
tho exercise of tho appointing power.
( Works, IV. 451.) But upon further
consideration nnd experience in admin
istration, ho camo to hold that remov
als might be made for other reasons
than official delinquency or misconduct
in office, and particularly for "election
eering activity, or open and industrious
opposition to tho principles of tho gov
ernment, legislative and executive," or,
in other words, "for using the influence
of oflico to destroy tho confidence of
tho people in their government." Six
teen removals wero made by him upon
this ground during tho first two years
of bis administration. (Works, IV.
460, 485.
President Cleveland, in his civil ser
vico reform letter of December 25,
1884, has given a moro expanded state
ment of this Jeffersonian doctrine,
where he speaks of persons in offico
who "havo forfeited all just claim to
retention because they have used their
places for party purposes, in disregard
of their duty to the people, and becauso
.... they havo proved themselves
offensive partisans and unscrupulous
manipulators oi local party manage
ment." 2. IIo deolared that the appoint
ments made after Mi oicn election, by
his predecessor, did not confer upon
tho anpointees any claim to continuance
in offico ; that tho attempt to impose
them upon him as bis assistants in ad
ministration was objcctionablo and of
fensive, and that ho would not regard ,
tho persons so appointed even as candi
dates with claims to be considered by
him ns custodian of tho appointing
power. So far, therefore, as such ap
pointees wero not protected by a con
stitutional tenure of office, their ap
pointments would bo treated as if they
had not been made. (Works, IV. 381,
383, 393-4, 546.)
3. It was bis opinion that Ministers
ot tho United States abroad, should be
recalled after a reasonable time ot ser
vice, for reasons which ho said had
commanded tho approval of President
Washington, ns well as of his own de
liberate judgment. Ho therefore re
called his friend, Mr. Short, and others,
from foreign service, and in letters,
dictated by kindly feeling, explained to
them tho grounds of fixed policy upon
which ho proceeded. Letter to Wil
liam Siort, Works, IV. 413.)
4. He was unquestionably opposed
to tho Act of 15th May, 1820 (which
fixed a statuory terra of four years for
many offices), for reasons stated in his
letter to Mr. Madison, of 29th Novem
ber, 1820, but it is equally certain that
he would not have advised a disregard
of the statute by tho Executive, if his
opinion as to its enforcement had been
expressed. Tbo power of removal,
vested in tho President by tho Consti
tution, canimt bo destroyed or impaired
by statute, but the manner in which
commissions shall go out, and tho time
tor which they shall issue, may bo ro
gulatcd by law without impinging
upon executive, power. As matter of
policy however, it is unwise and impro
per to remove officers of the United
States during statutory terms of service,
unless for good cause, publio or per
sonal, and tho announcement and en
forcement of a rule against it by tho
Uxcoutivn must, In view of modern
abuses of tho appointing power, be ro
garded as a step, and an important
step, iu tbo direction of genuine re
form. What shall bo regarded as good
causo for removing nn officer of tbo
civil service, is a question of profound
interest to tho student of American pol
itics, and ono of continually increasing
importance.
.". His opinion against nepotism,
or tho appointment of relatives to of
fice, is Btrongly expressed In his letter
of March 27th, 1801, to George Jeffer
son. (Works, IV. 383.)
6. Tho celebrated Now Haven let
ter, of July 12th, 1801 (Works, IV.
402), asserts or implies somo of the
foregoing points of polioy, but is moro
rcmarkablo for a vigorous statement of
tho ultimate object at which he aimed
tho condition of things which ho
greatly desired and longed for. No
modern leiormcr of tho civil service
has over moro tersely and handsomely
expressed the hopes or ninis of theso
who would "proscribo proscription,''
and establish Utopian perfection in tho
management of publio appointments.
But wo must remember, as wo read,
that tho words aro tho words of a man
of sympathetic nature as well as of in
tellectual force, and that, as In his
great first inaugural, hois stating a
principle or rulo without its necessary
limitations. IIo says : "I shall return
with joy to that state of things when
tho only question concerning a candi
date shall bo : 'Is ho honest, is ho ca
pable, is ho faithful to tho Constitu
tion V " But if wo turn to his letter
to Levi Lincoln, written tho day bo
foro, and to other writings of his of
earlier and of later dale, we will dis
cover tho son bo in which ho uied thoso
word, "faithful to tho Constitution."
THE COLUMBIAN AND
They did not, in his view, describe tho
chiefs, tho teacher, and tho bolicvers
of tho Hamilton school of opinion, who
inugiit ami neiiiuiu doctrine oi n strong
government by construction of consti
tutional grant?, and whose distrust of
popular intclhccuco nnd wisdom was
nvowed and incorrigible. IIo who
minimally gave io tuoso persons Plows
and not frtvor. wns tho last nmonc liv
ing men to Invite them to nestle In the
posts of government, thus enabling
them to extend tlio circle of iiiltiietico
nnd power.
But ho had not only "the courngo ot
his convictions," but also tho zeal of n
missionary for their propagation and
defence. There was in hit eohonio of
public conduct no room for compro
mise with error, or for surrender of ad
vantages to defiant nndlinplauablo foes.
But iu a noble sense ho was willing,
like tho apostle to tho Gentiles, "to be
come all things to nil men," to win
them to his faith and to the organiza
tion by which that faith was upheld.
Henco tho cplrtt of tolerauco which
breathes through all his correspondence,
nnd appears in all his public utterances,
toward tho mass of tho party opposed
to him nt his election, lie sought for
their conversion to republican princi
ples by exhibiting beforo them nn ad
ministration of publio affairs in which
purity, high ability, and wisdom wero
conspicuous, and by a conciliatory
courso toward them, in making remo
val from office. And ho thoroughly
accomplished his purpose. At the end
of his publio service ho left Federalism
prostrate, his party triumphant, nnd
the future of his country secure.
Thcro is a plain distinction between
civil officers of mere service, and offi
cers of direction and control. Tho
cabinet secretaries, certain commission
ers, and heads of bureau', at Washing
ton, collectors of customs, postmasters
in the principal cities, nnd somo other
officers, hold offices oi tho latter o'ass,
whilo tho great mass of oflices belong
to tho former.
Officers of direction and control aro
in a special sense tho ngents of the
President in tho execution of the laws.
Ho selects and appoints them and is
responsible lor their performance of
duty. Besides, they either select or
aro concerned in tho selection of the
numerous subordinate officers nnd em
ployes who servo under them, and in
other respects their powers aro varied
and extensive. It is therefore neces
sary to efficient and successful admin
istration, that presidential power over
their offices should be continuous and
complete It follows that tho tenure
oi olhoe lawn of tho United btates,
which, limit tho President's power over
thoso offices, must bo as pernicious in
operation ns they aro offensive and un
constitutional iu form.

General Grant had a serious attack
last Saturday night and camo near
choking to death, lie is better uow,
but the doctors think ho cannot stand
many such attack?.
Later;. Ho had another severe at
tack on Wednesday and it was feared
he would not survive throutrh the day.
At midnight ho was again better.
Grant himself thinks the end is near.
Appointments and Removals.
There is n wide-spread popular mis
apprehension that civil scrvico reform,
or what passes for that, as a system of
appointments provided by the civil ser
vice law and and administered by tho
commissioners, consists mainly in keep
mg ir. othee by retaining or le-
appointing them thoso who happen to
bo in othce. bitch ts not the case, lucre
is no such provision in the civil service
law framed by Mr. Pendleton and ad
ministered by Mr. Eaton's commission.
It was purposely omitted, so as to
leave tho power of removal as free to
tho executive as ever it was. And n
very valuable and necessary power it
is.
AVhen it comes to making now ap
pointments, of that particular grade
whicli is comprehended under the civ
il service law, and which does not in
clude tho lower class of laborers and
tho employees, nor tho heads and
chiefs of departments, it is understood
that the president will observe the law,
and causa it to be observed. Under
that law ho appoints a commission,
consisting of two Democrats and ono
Republican, who in turn appoiut other
examining boards who investigate all
applicants and report upon their fit
ness; and whenever a place is vacant
they can recommend four persons for
it, from which tho appointing power in
tho excrciso of its discretion selects
one for the position.
lias is tlio wholo scope and cltect of
the law, and it does not apply to any
offices or departments wherein there
aro hss than fifty applicants.
it will ream iv be seen that tins
makes no provision whatever for tho
retention of present officials: and in ev
ery case where thoy have been ap
pointed tor an inilehuito terra, the very
proper question to bo akcd concerniiii
them is whether or not they would be
now appointed it their othee was va
cant. Their occupanoy of it gives them
no hen on it; nor floes their honest and
capable dischargo of its duties. If
thoy aro better qualified thnn anybody
else, that is some consideration. But
tho fact that they havo been appoint
ed hitherto by a Republican adminis
tration, in ninety-nine cases out of a
hundred for partisan reasons, establish
es no claim on their part to bo contin
ued. When they were appointed no
Democrat's merit was considered for a
moment. Tho assumption of suoh ap
pointees that they have a divino right
to the offices is as empty as it is impu
