THE PRESIDENT AND THE
OPPOSITION.
Mr.. Hay es still Firm Tor Civil Ser
vice Rsforul.

AZ tIAfes
expected to ask Secretary sherman hi>
reasons for the removal of Arthur and
Cornell, the New York Collector and
Naval Officer. The Secretary will re-
\ ply substantially that the removals
were made because an official report
aud other circumstances show that
these officers had been connected With
the old vicious system OF carrying on
the Custom house in partisan interests,
and that the good of the public service
required the intrusting of a new and
purely commercial system of admins
tration to new men. such a reply VIII
probably cause n favorable report on
the new nominations, by n majority.
The Anti Administration Senators
have frequently called for causes of re-
movals, and they were always disap-
pointed bv receiving frank, courteous
replies, which di-armed their hostility
aud rendered ~eifectual hostility impos-
sible. The Presidents theory is said
TO be, that the senate has a right to in
auire into the causes of removal OF any
except diplomatic officers; that the
reasons might be given to the Senate,
IL asked for, but that Senators have no
right Whatever to solicit appointments
or to volunteer advice to him on that
subject. He admits their right and
duty to- scrutinize not only appoint
ments but removals, but holds that as
this is their sworn duty, they are
thereby prevented from asking him to
make specified appointments. He de
MES entiI ely the least authority for the
abuse which is called ''Tbe courtesy
of the Senate,' and which has been
held to give 10 a Republican Senator
the right to decide upon appointments
made in his State. IL Is the whole
senate which is sworn to inquire into
and decide upon its oath, he thinks,
and not a single Senator. 1t is on this
that some Senators will probably OPP
pose the President, and fail. At the
recent interview with the Senate eau
Gus Committee, the President firmly
met the Senator's claim of the right OF
consultation. by declaring his convic-
ton that il WAS based on courtesy. and
could not be construed into a privilege.
The House Committee ON Foreign
Affairs has agreed to recommend the
passage of a bill providing for Amer
lean representation at the Paris Expo
sition. The bill now agreed upon pro
poses a total appropriation OF about
Sl6O. 900.
There is no truth in the sensational
report published that the Senate Corn-
m-rce Committee requested the Pre-i
dent to furnish "A statement of his rea-
sons for removing the New York Gus
tom House officers. Such a proceed
ing on the part of a committee wouid
have been unprecedented and so high
ly indecOrous that Conkling would
not either suggest or countenance 1t.
Requests of this kind II made at all
must, OF course, be ordered by the SEN
ate.
