functions of that ofIice-and the clerk can.
not go dhunde the record.
But when the clerk undertakes to make
a vacancy in Colorado he commits a gross
error. In october, the people Of that state
voted for q representative for the u%nexpired
term of the Forty fourth congress, and for
the full term of the Forty-fnth congress,
Bedford, republican, receiving nearly a
thousand majority for both positions, and
having the proper credentials fromthe gov
ernor.' After election, the democratic can
didate, Patterson, claimed that the laws
of Colorado did not allow of an election
for representative to the Forty-iith con
gress in October, and 90 he caused polls to
be opened on the day Of the presidential
election-there being no popular election
in that state on that day, the electors being
appointed by the legislature-and received
some two thousand votes. There was no
law authorizing an election upon that day
and no notice given for IN election, and
Patterson has no certificate or credentials.
The taking of any notice of Patterson's
pretended election, and the taking off of
Bedford's name, are arbitrary and illegal
acts, and give color 10 the current report
that the clerk is endeavoring to so manipu-
late the rolls as to secure a democratic or
ganization of the house, and secure his own
reelection. In ordinary times, either party
would content themselves with a clear ma
jority of five, seven or eleven, but this ex-
treme anxiety for a single vote betokens a
fear that President Hayes policy will make
| such inroads into the party as to destroy its
apparent supremacy. There is reason for
this anxiety, but the course of the clerk in
this Colorado case will not mend the mat
ter. Whom the gods wish to destroy, they
first make mad.

MARSHALL D. DowNING-PHAIR's NEW
WITNESS,
What the officers Say About Him, and what
He has to Say for Himself.

What the Officers Say About Him, and what
He has to Say for Himself.
Since Marshall d. Downing furnished
the evidence upon which John p. Phair
was repTieved, his character has been very
severely scrutinlzed, and every act COM
mitte1 during the last few years of his life
subjected to the closest scrutiny. 1t is but
justice TO Mr.. Downing to say, however,
IN view of the appended statement, that
when he made the statement which resulted
in Phair's repriove, he stated to a Boston
Herald reporter that he had been unfortu-
nate in business, and that many of his acts
in business would be tortured ard twisted
out of all semblance TO their original form,
and made to show him to be an unprincipled
man, but he was not conscious of any in
tention to wrong anybody at any time, and
In furnishing the statement he did it from a
sense of duty, and only for the purpose of
saving an innocent mans life.
1t appears by the statement of station 3
officers that a man who was at one time in
partnership with Downing, was induced TO
enter into business relations with him in
the Novelty Manufacturing company by
representations made by him that he was
worth money, when in reality, so his part
ner sage, he was not worth a cent. He
further says that at one time Downing,
wishing to obtain q loan of some money,
deposited a check on the Blackstone ma
tional bank of Boston, for $125, which
purported to have been drawn by George
Duncan, his partner at that time, and re-
ceived IN return a loan of So, he promising
at the time TO redeem the check the follow
ing day, but failing to do 80, it wa given
to an officer of station 3, who ascertained
at the bank that neither Downing, nor his
partner, Duncan, had a cent on deposit in
that institution. The check was drawn to
the order of M. d. Downing, and signed by
Geo. G. Duncan, as above stated, and when
at a subsequent time Downing was in
formed by Fall that the check was worth
less, and that he had deposited II with an
officer and he paid the loan and received
the check in return.
The officers also cay that at one time
Duncan was recommended by Downing to
a gentleman Of Boston as a responsible
party, and acting upon his recommends
ton he was received into the 'gentleman'a
family as a boarder, but subsequently beat
the man out of a board bill amounting tc
some $50. 1t Is also stated that, while in
business on Portland street, Downing Dor.
rowed money from parties in the house,
among them a mar by the name of Yves.
ton, an organist at fremont Temple, mont
of which he has ever paid.
The above statements are made wholly
upon the authority of the officers, anc
should not be allowed to prejudice anybody
against Mr.. Downing's statement, for there
are those who recommend him as a reliable
man in every respect, and a statement
which caused such results would naturally
have met with plenty of opposition from
persons anxious to throw dlscreiit upon it

Civil Service.

One of the mo,t notable instances of Carl
schurz' determination TO carry out his
ideas OF civil service reform in the manage
ment OF his department is shown in his ap-
pointment of Bell, chief clerk, as assistant
secretary of the interior. The position is
o very important one, as a majority of the
work in the department is, In general,
transacted by this officer. The greatest
amount of pressure has been brought to
bear upon Mr.. Schurz to make an outside
appointment. Stanley Matthews, Charles
Foster and General Garfield united in pre-
senting a man every way fitted by educa-
ton and character for the place but Mr..
6churz ignored all of this and promoted an
efficient officer of his department.
