The INTERNAL REVENUE DEPARrMHNr.-s
The statement telegraphed from this city, and
published by number Of our contemporaries, to
the effect that Mr.. Commissioner Delauo pro.
poses to hold the Repu blican members OF Con-
grsss responsible for the Internal Revenue OF.
hcers IN their districts, and thereby relieve
himself and the Secretary Of the Treasury from
much labor and trouble In the premises, is
without foundation In fact.
In the first place, the matter Of appointments
TO the internal revenue service does not rest
with the Commissioner, but with the Presi.
dent, through the Secretary of the Treasury.
Undoubtedly, the Commissioner will be con.
suited with reference to the persons chosen to
carry out the laws relating to internal reve.
nue.; and, from the nature of things, his recon-.
mendations upon that point will have great
weight with his Official superiors II is natural
to suppose, also, that, before coming to q final
conclusion touching applicants for posi-
uons under him, the Commissioner will
consult with members OF Congress, as
Win other prominent and inf 1uential gentle
men, In public or private life, and that he will
10 seme extent be influenced by their represen-
'a'ions; and where appointments are made
upon such recommendations, the indorsers
will be considered responsible for the character
OF the appoIn tees. But there is no warrant for
supposing that the Commissioner will either
surrender such power as he may have touching
his subordinates, or fail TO look to the officers
themselves for a faithful discharge of their
duty. On the other hand, every man in the
service Will be held TO a rigid and direct
accountability for the manner in which his
duties are performed. Should any one calcu.
late otherwise, and presume upon such calcu.
lation, we feel safe in saying that he may as
well be putting his house in order aud casting
about for some other and less responsible pur-
SUIT in life. his official days will be few and
full of trouble.
And here is proper place to say that Ssna-
tors, Congressmen, and others, occupying
prominent positions in life cannot be too care
full to recommend none but first class men for
office. Nothing tends more to the demoraliza.
ton Of the public service than the indi ,crimi.
nate endorsements by we'll meaning people OF
all the persistent seekers after Office, WI, an.
ply to them for certificates Of character Let
them recommend none but honest, capable, and
diligent men, by whose records they are them.
selves willing TO stand, and one fruitful source
OF difficulty will be removed. And no better
time will occur for the adoption Of this rule
than now: in the beginning of an administra.
ton pledged to economy, retrenchment, and
reform.
