Civil Service Reform


WASHINGTON, April 14-Mr. Wood
ford, from the Committee on Civil Service
Reform, reported a bill to provide for
commission 10 re-organize the customs ser
vices. Referred to committee of the
whole on the state of the Union.
Mr.. kellogg, from the same committee,
reported a bill for the reorganization of the
Treasury Department. Same reference,
and made the special order of the 2Sth of
April.
Also bill abolishing the office of Ap-
praiser of Imported Merchandise at PrOvi-
idence, Portland, Cleveland, Milwaukee,
Memphis, Evansville, Louisville, Norfolk,
Mobile, Toledo and Pittsburg, and provid-
ing that there shall be only one Appraiser
of Imported Merchandise at Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Charleston and Savannah.
Mr.. Dawes intimated that the Commit
tee on Ways and Means had been at work
upon the same class of business, which re-
ally belonged to his committee. Still, he
did not object to this
Ambitious Young Committee
on Civil Service Reform doing a grand
work, but he wished to have some notice
of what it was doing.
Mr.. kellogg defended the action of the
Committee on Civil Service Reform, and
said Mr.. Dawes in his famous speech some
months ago had called attention to the ne
cessity of this reform. The gentleman
Dawes had been always loud spoken in
favor of general reform, but never tried to
bring it home to a special case. That was
what the Committee on Civil Service Re-
form was seeking to do now.
After an animated colloquy between Kel-
logg, Dawes, COnger, Evans, Myers and
Scofield, the latter moved to strike out
Philadelphia from the list of those ports to
be confined to one appraiser.
Mr.. Evans moved to strike out Providence
from the list of ports where the office ofap-
praiser was to be abolished.
Mr.. Plat moved TO strike out Norfolk.
Mr.. Parsons moved to strike out Cleve
land.
All these amendments were rejected ex-
cept in the case of Philadelphia, as to
which it was explained by Mr.. kellogg.
that therbill would not interfere with the
general appraiser there, who would still
have an appraiser under him. Under that
explanation the amendment was with
drawn.
Mr.. Parsons then moved to lay the bill
on the table negatived. The bill was then
passed.

LOUISVILLE.
A Prominent Lawyer Shot Down on
the Courthouse Stems.


LOUISVILLE, April 14.-About l O'Clock
this morning W. Il. Abbott, a prominent
lawyer of this city, was shot, and it is sup
posed morally wounded, by Jno. r. Green,
a member of the firm of Morton, Gait &
Co., bankers. A case had just been argued
in court, in which both parties were en-
gagged, and coming out of the courthouse,
some words passed between them, the lie
was given and Abbott struck Green with
his cane, who drew pistol and fred three
times, the shots taking effect in Abbott's
right side, in the centre of the breast, and
through the shoulder, ranging obliquely in
ward. 1t Is variously stated who struck
the tirst blow. Green was arrested and
placed in jail, and Abbott taken home,
where he is now lying in a very critical
condition. The affair has created pro-
found sensation in this community, where
both parties are widely known and sre-
spected.
LATER.-PhysicianS report Abbott, who
was shot to-day, in somewhat improved
condition at midnight. There are slight
hopes OF his recovery, although one ball
penetrated the cavity of the lungs.

THE INDIAN WAR.
A bishops Views.

OMAHA, NEB., April 14.-Bishop Hare,
Chairman of the commission sent to the
Red Cloud and MILESTONE agencies some
weeks since, teleg-aphs to-day as follows to
Secretary DelanO from this point:
"The Commissioners found and left the
Indians quiet. They were fairly reasonable
notwithstanding the irritableness conse-
quent upon their late turbulence and the
arrival of troops. There is no reason to
auprehend war unless foolish measures pre-
cipitate it. The good results of the pres
ent policy are so great that the number of
Indians who would 60 upon the war-path
is probably less by One-half than it would
have been two years ago.

THE smoldering of the fires in the burnt
district of Chicago continued for great
length of time, and it was remarked by a
gentleman that he had lighted a segar in
the ruins months after the coufagration.
Instances are not rare where fires have
smoldered for years. At Singer, Nimick
x Co.'S Sheffield Steel-wOrBS, Pittsburg, an
extensive smoldering fire, that battles the
best efforts TO eXtinguish it, has been dis
covered, dangerously near the new meet
ins-housc. The ground fronting on the
river has been formed by the deposit Of
cinders from the mill. and may have been
a hidden mass of fire for one or two years.
The firm lost considerable from fire some
time since. Various other PittsbUrg roll
ing mills have had such fires-in one in
stance known to have existed for two years,
and in another for some eight or ten
months.
