The Attorney General of the U. 5. in reply
to some queries submitted to him by the Civil
Service Commission. gives it as his opinion
that while Congress can by statute limit the
Executive choice for public Office, by prescrib
ing that no one shall be appointed who has not
passed an examination, it cannot limit his con-
stitutional power by requiring that the success
full competitor in an examination shall in all
Eases be appointed, because this deprives the
President of all discretionary power. Nor can the
discretion entrusted to the President be exer-
Used by q Civil-service Board Of Examiners.
The Attorney General regards the military and
naval appointments as not coming within this
clause of the Constitution.

Theodore Tilton, hitherto "a bright and shin

Radical party, and at the same time he urges

his friend Horace The same Mr.. Tltou says

APennsylvanian who has for some time been
.mployed in the construction Of the Lynchburg

APennsylvanian who has for some time been
employed in the construction Of the Lynchburg
and Danville railroad, gives his impressions, in
d letter from Pittsylvania county to the Balti-
more Sun, of the people in that section. He
says he ':went there with no little uneasincss
in regard to security for life orproperty,
but he has seen nothing of the lawlessness
mentioned in some of the papers. He concludes:
My conclusion is that more law-abiding, and
liberal community than that Of Pittsylvania
county, Virginia, cannot be found anywhere
life is as secure here as in Pennsylvania. Prop
crty is not quite so secure, for the army of tax
gatherers keep this people under the yoke
The most prominent desire, l find among these
people, is to rccuperate and repair their wasted
fortunes, so as to make home acheerful place. y
What is here said about Pittsylvania county,
may be said, generally, of every other county IN
Virginia.
