coNaREssMEN AND APPOINT
MENTS.

The bill proposed by Senator Trum-
bull, Of Illinois, in reference to the
appointments to civil Offices, which
prohibits the interference of members
of Congress ip the p%rocuration of such
appointments, opens to the attention Of
Senators and Representatives a mos.
interesting question. Every q of them
must feel frequent annoyance at being
compelled to choose between the con-
aicting claims Of friends who are an1-
ious to obtain appointment to office,
and who know that the influence Of q
member. in relation to the Federal
officials, is all-powerful, aud that the
voice Of a Senator, in relation to APP
pointments made Of citizens of his own
State, is most important. Frequently,
Representatives. and Senators have in
particular cases been exceedingly
troubled by the difficulty of reconciliug
tho claims of opposing candidates for
their favor, and Of making those whom
they knew must be unsuccessful recon-
ciled to the failure Of their claims. To
many q member his influence upon ap-
pointments has been the most dangerous
Of hi, ~prerogatives. I. ha, compelled
him to tarn port ions Of his friends into
absolute enemies. II has evoked against
him the future opposition of the disap.
pointed; and if no desired, as most
Congressman do, a reelection, he found
that his course in regard to local ap-
|pointments had created swift whirlpools
in the sea over which be was to sail
and planted great rocks, against which
his bark was in danger Of being carried
and knocked to piece, by the shock.
Yet With all these dangers and excite.
msnts it may be doubted whether men,
bsra Of Congress would DO willing to
ronounce q perquisite, il We may so call
it, Of their offices which has been at all
times important to them. In polite,
everything is selfish. Most generally
those who aid a particular candidate by
extraordinary exertion expect some
profitable reward for their services. l!
they make a Congressman great, they
expect that he will render his greatness
beneficial in some degree to their am.
bition. Tho influence, therefore, which
the Congressman has at Washington is
a fund upon which he may draw to re-
ward his friends and punish his enc
mics. With all the d%isagreeabls cir
cumstauces which occasionally surround
the exercise Of that influence, there ere
many pleasant things connected with it,
o that it becomes a very delicate ques-
ton for a Congressman to determine
whether the disadvantages are not much
les, than the advantages of his position.
Senator Trumbull's bill is, 10 theory,
correct. 1t would be better for the pso-
pie that the eatiro monopoly Of Federal
appointments which custom has given
to Congressman should be broken up.
It is not fair that the entire voice Of the
citizens Of a district should be over
weighted by the single expression OF
the will ola Congressman, who is their
servant. Such is the case at present.
Will members Of Congress consent by
passing Mr.. Trumbull's bill to relinquish
u power which they have so long sxer-
ciscd? We fear not. The proposition
is a thing which ought to be, but which,
under present circumstances, scarcely
a be.
