THE CITY's Coal BUsINEss.-- Mr.
Joseph Salisbury, one Of the committee
appointed by Council to furnish coal to
citizens at cost, called at our office yester.
day 10 give some information touching
the transactions ot the committee. The
committee consists Of MIR. Salisbury, Mr..
John Clator, Mr.. Thos. ]. Blair and Mr..
A. ]. Pannell. Messrs. Salisbury and Cla.
tor were appointed subcommittee TO at.
tend 10 the business and Mr.. Blair was
appointed treasurer. Mr.. Salisbury show
ed US some accounts Of his individual op-
erations. They showed that his entire
disbursements and receipts up to and in.
Guiding the 23d instant, amounted to but
$473, and that he had reported to Mr..
Blair and paid up in full to that time. As
we understood, Mr.. Salisbury had bought
but one carload OF coal since that date.
He accounts for the small amount OF coal
handled by the statement that q greater
quantity could not be obtained, but that
purchasers would have come Tor ten
times the quantity II he had been
ablO to furnish 1t. BE sold the
coal at 81 cents, half cent advance on
cost to cover expenses. The coal was
sold without weighing by agreement OF
purchasers, to save cost Of the extra
hauling to scales and Of the weighmas.
Ler's Tee. MIR. Salisburys exhibit did not
show receipts and disbursements in de.
tail, nor whether there had been a loss or
gain, but simply that he had paid over to
Mr.. Blair as much as disbursed; but in
the amount Of transactions reported the
balance could not have been large either
way. When tho subcommittee began
operations, purchasers were obliged to
pay cartmen 81 for hauling load of
twenty bushels. To save them from this
extortion Mr.. Salisbury bought a yoke Of
oxen and cart on city account, at a cost
of $1s5. After this no delivered coal at
ls cents, thus saving the purchaser about
as much as the original cost Of the coal.
The committee have not yet suspended
operations, though the amount OF coal
handled Is small.

The "civil service" regulations are not
Of that inaexible character some have
been led to suppose from official declara-
tions respecting them. Their pliability
has just been illustrated in the appoint
ment Of a new postmaster at Chicago,
who was appointed without any reference
to them. An authoritative statement in
the Providence Journal says:
"The appointment was made as the
President distinctly said, in accordance
with the principle that the resident Sen
ator, Logan, Is entitled 10 nominate the
postmaster in his own city, which he
did,"
The principle On which the civil ser
vice regulations arc based, aS VIC under.
stand, is that appointments shall be
made with sole reference to merit and
qualification. Tho principle" that the
Senator from State may dictate the ap-
pointment Of a postmaster in tho city
where he lives, is totally sntagonistic
to the other. 1t Is equivalent to saying
that such appointments are the scna-
tors spoils-or rather the Presidents,
to be turned over to the Senators in re.
ward for their support in legislation.
This latter principle" is the ono that has
prevailed so long; that has converted the
appointing power into a dispensation
Of patronage and made Congressman
mere brokers in Federal offices. 1t ut
terly irreconcilable with the pledges oil
civil service reform made by the Presi.
dents supporters in the late campaign,
and with his own expressed opinions on
the subject.
