pet-baggers" had not interfered: The Pres1-
dent said something non-committa1 about the
Civil Service, and tho consultation ended.

ginia twenty-two years, and who is at present
Collector OF Internal Revenue ct Richmond,
called on the President for the purpose OF coun-
teraeting the influence Of the anti-carpetrbag-
gers, and received more positive assurances OF
thorough enforcement Of both the Ol7l tenure
act aud the Civil Service system.
