Of this reform; and ever since the Radical
managers compelled him to drive that gen
tlemon ont OF lis Cabinet because he would
not lend himself to their schemes, the Presi-
dent has been cndcavoring 20 prevent any
interference with the appointing power, at
the same time that he sought to pacfy the
relormcrs by affecting great zeal in the
cause When Congress made su approrria-
tion and authorized the appointment oil
Commission to investigate the subject, and
make such recommendations as might be
expedicnt, it became desirable to the Ad.
rninistration TO get rid Of the matter Mt
once and finally Thereuron Mr. Attorney
General AHERMAN has been called upon
to demonstrate the uuconstitutionnlity Of
the whole proceeding. Accordingly we have
his formal opinion TO that effect, inspired
evidently by the Administration itself 1t is
curious muddle, surely. Obviously, it is
not competent for Congress, either directly
or hy dclcgutng its authority TO n Commits
sion. TO interfere Will the constitutional
power Of the Executive in the matter of ap-
pointmrnts II needs no argument to prove
this. But tie Attonoy.Gencral miscon.
ccivcs the whole case. his confusion Of
mind being quite equal to anything Of the
kind ever exhibited by GRANT himself.
Examinations Of candidates are proper and
wholly harmless OF course. the result Of
such examinations would not be obligatory
uron the President. They would be advi-
sorry only, and might be beneficial in aid ng
him to make Up his mind. Nosound lawyer
could have fallen into the mistake made by
the Attorney General under Executive insp!.
ration. But GRASI is terrified at anything
squirting toward an nlrdgmont of his
power to promote his reelection, and hc
seems to have managed TO infuse into the
mind of his law udviscr the apprchcns,ons
that are torncntng him.
The whole proceeding is character site Of
a feeble and inscriptions Executive sur.
rounded by men sufservicnt TO his amb..
tious purposes, ard lacking in that PRIDE and
s'lfrespcct without whicl, we can never
have an elevated Administration. A Prcei
dent sincerely dcsirous to promote efficiency
in the public service, needs no act 1t Con.
gress TO aid him in the good work. llo has
ample POWER TO initiatc tho needed reforms.
Such a man, equal to the situation, would
not evadc his duty aud skulk behnd an

We are informed that a short time since,
the Office of Judge Collins, justice of the
peace in Poncthatoula, was broken open and
all the records destroyed. The judge issued
a warrant for the arrest of notorious and
dissipated character
The constable Mr.. Brown, in attempting
to execute the warrant, was knocked down
and badly beaten by a number of citizens.
On Sunday night last mob, armed with
shotguns and reyolvers, the leader being a
notorious agitator, having rope with them,
went to the constable's house, burst open
the deor and demanded Mr.. Brown, com
municating the agreeable TACT that they
came there for the purpose of hanging him.
The constable's wife was treated as only
brutes can treat a lady. She tainted, and
Mr.. Brown sought safety in flight.
The unreconstructed citizens are jubilant
over the affair, and openly declare that no
Republican shall execute the laws in that
portion of the State, and that they wish the
Governor would send some troops there, as
they can muster men enough to clean out
all the soldiers he can send.

LONDON, May 1.-THE weather is very
cold, with snow in the north of England.
A French fishing vessel with twelve of
the crew were run down in the channel by
an unknown vessel
In the House of Commons this evening a
bill permitting but putting certain restric-
tions upon the sale of liquors was discussed
at length. Petitions both for and against
the measure were presented and arguments
were made on both sides of the question.
The opponents of the bill proved the
stronger. and it was lost by 81 majority.
The latest dispatches state that the Aut-
euil and Versailles gates have been de-
stroyed. The neighboring commune bas-
CiOns are silent under a terrific fire. Fort
Issy is now in the hands of the Versaillsts,
who are bOmbarding Petel, Vanvres, Gren-
vile, and Point du Jour. The latter posi-
tiOn is untenable.
1t is believed the Versaillists are under
mining the walls near Porte de la Muette.
The commune dissensiOns continue.
A terrific explosion occurred in the East
ern portion of Paris, the effect of which was
visible at Versailles. 1t is believed a Ver-
sailist shell from Neuilly has exploded
powder magazine within Paris.
The Daily Ne,cs special from Paris says
an important minority of the commune has
protested against the continued existence
of the committee OF safety.
The Standards special from Versailles
gives a report that Fort Montrouge has
been taken. The same correspondent says
the Republican delegates will present to the
Assembly a motion for the appointment of
Theirs to the presidency of the republic for
two years, and adds that a disturbance is
expected.
The enemies of Theirs assert that he is
delaying the ordering of the attack on Paris
because he is afraid the end of his power
will arrive when the army captures Paris.
