WASHINGTON, D. c., March 20.
THE CIVIL SERVICE.
The house committee on the civil service had
meeting this morning, and Mr.. Willard and
one or two other members labored faithfully to
have something DONE but without avail. Two
or three members of the committee seem to be
determined that no reform of the civil service
shall be permitted at the present session. Some
of the members expressed favorable opinions in
regard to AIcCrary's bill providing for the cleo
ton of postmasters, but il was not voted upon;
nor was the bill prohibiting recommendations to
office by congressman. Under the circum
stances it was thought best to ask the house to
consent that the subject, which comes up to-day
as a special order, be postponed for one month.
The discussion in the committee, however,
shows plainly enough that the only hope of pres
emf reform lies through the plan which the
president is experimenting with Intime, con
gress will act, but not before the presidential
election. The house postponed the consideration
of the subject for one month.
SENATOR NYE
goes to Connecticut next Monday to take part
in the canvass for a few days.
THE NEW ORLEANS COMMITTEE
of investigation have not yet agreed upon a re-
port In fact it will be a month before the evil
dence taken comes from the printing office.
TIE IN THE APPROPRIATION COMMITTEE.
The house committee on appropriations took
singular ground this morning in regard to the
presidents scheme for reforming the civil SER
vice. The senate item of $4,000 to enable the
president to prosecute his experiments still fur
was made, when the result was a tie; so it will
come into the house with the recommendation
of the committee of Inconvenience. Mr.. Mar
shall of Illinois was absent; and he states that
if present he would have voted to concur. The
chairman of the committee, Mr. Garfield, favors
the appropriation, and it is believed that the
house will not venture 10 reject it.
THE SUBSIDY FIGHT.
The long debate and controversy over the Pa
cific mail steamship subsidy was ended this
afternoon, in defeat to the proposed increase of
half million, but it was rejected by only five
majority, and the fight will be renewed again
before the session is over. Mr. Farnsworth's
amendment providing for free ships, got only 63
votes. A number of members voted for the in
creased subsidy who, whenever a bill comes up
to increase the pay of few poor clerks or half
paid bureau officers, preach the most stringent
economy to the house. Not over dozen demo-
ocrats voted for it, and twenty to thirty republic
cans voted against it. SAM WELLER.
