Mr. Adams, the Democratic Clerk Of the
House of Representatives, has removed Mr..
Isaac Strohm, principal Engrossing Clerk of
the House. Mr. Strohm has filed the posi-
ton for sixteen years, and has performed his
duties with marked ability and correctness.
The place is the most important clerical pc
sition about the House, requiring technical
knowledge and an acquaintance with the
forms of preparing acts Of Congress which
can only be acquired by years of experience.
The removal OF Mr.. StIohm Immediately fol-
lowing the close of the arduous duties of the
session, without proper notice, is great in
Justice to an old and faithful officer and an
indication that the few officers who were re-
tanned by the present House will be removed
prior to the assembling of Congress in De-
cember. There is good reason to believe that
the fifteen remaining crippled Union soldiers
wis were retained as messengers will also be
discharged. This is the kind of civil service
reform to which the country is treated,
wherever the Democrats get power.
