CIVIL SERVICE Reform. The Washington
correspondent of the Philadelphia North Am.
erioan says: THE rupture between the Presi.
dent ard bis party becomes the more painful to
look 90 when it is felt'that 30 barren an ideaty
as this article of Civil Service Reform is the
main cause of the enlargement. 1t was by
way of carrying out his Civil Service ideas that
the President allowed Mr.. Evarts to ma me for
Office in New York men whom be knew would
be distasteful to MIR. Conkling. Of course Mr..
Eoarts, tyro as he is 10 politics, has some
thoughts which he keeps to himself. SO that
the President is only to be blamed if blamed
at all, for not being better judge of men,
There seems to have been no one Of the Prasi.
dents advisers TO toll bin that Mr. Conkling
was not the only Senator who would be offend
ed by this kind of Civil Service Reform The
hollowness Of the pious pretense was apparent
when people came to reflect that the advice OF
democratic Senators aud Representatives. was
not only taken, but solicited on appointment
The doctrine of DO Senatorial Interference came
with bad taste from a President who Had ap.
pointed democrat to be Marshal of Georgia to
please the. Vice Presidept and General Of the
late Coufedcracy-the one by the grace of the
Republican party Representative in Congress
and the other Senator from Georgia. The
Evarts move on Conkling sounded the alarm,
and other Senators took fright. The defensive
alliance which followed and Inundated the
President was natural and inevitable"
