INCREASE OF THE CIVIL SERVICE.

The Troy Press democratic, of course
has, what 1t calls, several "nuts' for repub-
cans to "crack." As a specimen, it is
stated, that since 1869, the commencement
of Grants first presidential term, the num-
Der of persons in the civil service of the
government "has steadily increased with
" out any apparent cause for it," and
places the number, in 1860, az fifty-four
thousand two hundred and seven, and in
1875 at ninety-four thousand one hundred
and nineteen, making the increase, accord
ing TO these figures, thirty-nine thousand
nin3 hundred and twelve.
Now, We propose, for its accommoda-
ton, to "crack this nut" What are the
factsP Assuming that the number of per-
sons in the civil service of the government,
in 1860, to be correctly .tafed-and we
have nothing to show t. the contrary-the
actual facts show an increase of only seven
thousand nine hundred and sixiy-five, as
the actual numles Of persons in the civil
service of the government, in 1875, as
shown by official reports, was sixty-two
thousand one hundred and seventy-two,
instead of ninely.four thousand one hun.
dred and nineteen, es stated by the Press
Il "mi.take" of only tbir,y-two thousand
or more than fifty per cent. of the whole
number of persons employed. Something
of blunder-to call it by no worse {
name but, after ali, rather trivial one
for the Press to make.
lie, us look little further into the mes
of this "nut," having succeeded in crack
ing it. Ia the absence of reliable statistics
we are again compelled to assume the trutl
of tie Press figures as to lS69-and, W,
may say, that there is an inherent proba
bility of their correctness, in that they ar
uscl to make point against the republi
can Illustration, and it is, therefore, rea
sonable to conclude that the figures TO
1869 are understated, rather than oyer
ated, and made as email az possible. TIL
fact being, then, that the increase is onl
about ght thousand, let US see where thi
increase comes from. By the figures give
by the Press, it appears that there wer
employed ia the postal service, in 1877
sixty four thousand seven hundred an
twenty-six persons, against forty-one thot
sand three hundred and forty-six at th
commencement of Grants administration
50 that there has been an increase in til
postal service of the country of twenty
four thousand three hundred and eight
employees.
Let US look q little further. There hs'
ing been an actual increase of the numbt
of persons in the civil service of tie govern
ment Of only about eight THOUSAND, and Il

twenty-four thousand, what follows

The Belknap Impeachment


WASHINGTON, May 6.-SENATE-Con-
sideration of the impeachment articles was
resumed.
Mr.. Conklin submitted the following ques-
tions to the managers:
Flrst-lf two persons guilty of crime
cease to be officers at the same time, one
by removal and the other by resignation,
is one rather than the other the subject of
impeachment afterwards? If distinc-
tion between the two cases exists please
state it.
Second-Is a private citizen liable to
Impeachment under the constitution of the
U, s., il his having previously held an Of
fce distinguishes him in this respect from
other citizens. Please trace the distinc-
tion to clause of the constitution or to a
principle in which it is found.
Mr.. Mitchell, of Oregon, submitted the
following questions: The constitution
provides that when the president of the
United States is tried on impeachment
the chief justice shall preside. Suppose
a late president were impeached for high
crimes and misdemeanors committed
while president. and ,presented at the bar
OF the senate for trial, who would preside p
the chief justice or the pr sident of the
senate?
Owing to continued indisposition man
ager Knott was granted leave to conclude
his argument on Monday.
Manager jerks then read long argu-
ment IN favor of the jurisdiction of the
senate, when recess was taken.

Special despatch to the " Y. World
WASHINGTON, May 3-The sensation
here to night is a bitter letter which A. G
Riddle has written to Blaine Riddle was
formerly prominent member of congress
from Ohio, and is now lawyer here. His
letter is ia substance that Blaine in the
course of his personal explanation in the
house traduced the memory of j. w.
knowlton, a former correspondent here,
who was at one time student in Riddle &
Stewards Office, and who married Riddle S
daughter; that knowlton has been in his
grave two years; that if he had lived
neither Blaine nor Stewart nor any one
else would have dared to say word
against him; that it is his (Riddle's) duty
to defend the reputation of his dead son in
law, and thst he will do it in very few
days. Knowlton is said to be the first who
gave out that Blaine was mixed up in
Arkansas railroad matters.
