CIVIL SERVICE REFORM
Senator Plumb, of Kansas, Reads the Presi-
dent a Lecture.

Senator Plumb, of Kansas, Reads the Presi-
dent a Lecture.
WASHINGTON; Jan. Ex-senator Plumb. of
Kansas, has addressed letter to the President
on the subject of civil service. The Senator
believes that the terms of service of all en-
ployes except of the judiciary, should be linn
tied to four years; that selections should be
governed by character and efficiency, and that
appointments should be made according to
population, care being exercised not to give the
section nearest the seat of government an undue
preponderance of employees. On the relations
between the President and Senators and Repre-
sentatives, he discourses in the following Ian.
guage:
That members of Congress should not be
permitted to dictate appointments is readily
conceded. The President and heads of depart
ments are responsible for the character of thei1
appointees, and in seiecting them they should
avail themselves Of the best obtainable They
must rely to a large extent on the representa-
lions of Others as they themselves can have nc
knowledge of applicants in great majority OF
instances. This is more especially true with
respect to new aud remote States, and hence
the manifest propriety, indeed the absolute
necessity on the part of the administration OF
seeking such information they may
feel disposed to rely upon, otherwise
these States would be very inadequately repre-.
sented IN the assignment of official positions
The leading idea, however, that the prerogative
of selection rests exclusively with the executive
department of the government and that nc
dictation from any quarter can be tolerated
should under no circumstances be lost sight of
If, indeed, Congress should deem it wise tc
perfect such legislation as would relieve its
members from importantly, and remove from
the minds of the people the impression that
practically the task Of selection is really i'm
posed upon their immediate representatives
such result could scarcely be otherwise than
welcome to those representatives. Under the
present system they can hardly decline to be 8
medium through which the wishes of their con.
stituents are made known to the executive

The accident to Mary C1en,ner

The Washington Erening Star says
''Mrs. Mary Clemmer, who was so seriously
injured by her fall from her carriage at
Twentieth street, on Wednesday last. has
slowly but steadily improved during the past
two days, and will probably be able to see
her friends again in the course of few days.
Her physicians say that she has shown the
most marvellous powers of recuperation.
When she was lifted up after the accident, it
was supposed she had been killed, and seri-
GUS fears we're afterwards entertained con
corning the shock to her brain, but the ply
sicians now consider her quite out of dan
ger. She suffers greatly from an exceeding
y painful sprain Of the right ankle, which
will keep her confined to her house for some
time, but is otherwise much better than
could have been expected by any one who
knew with what force she was thrown from
her carriage"

BOARD or TRADE.

Those st. Paul Statistics--Lively Meeting of
J the Board of Trade on the Subject.
| A special meeting of the Minneapolis
Board of Trade was held at their rooms yes
terday forenoon for the purpose of consider
ing the question of amending the statistics
] of trade in this city for the forthcoming re-
port Of the commissioner of statistics.
Mr.. Sturtevant, the Secretary made a
| statement to the effect that he had
asked the Commissioner of Statistics to re-
tuan him the report, and asked that there be
/, no report from Minneapolis published.
The commissioner had stated to him that he
would return the Minneapolis report for
amendment, but should certainly publish the
report as furnished unless it was amended.
A desultory discussion of the entire sub
ject was then had, and finally Mr.. William
Petit offered the following resolution:
Resolred, That this board of trade think
it best that the report as furnished hereto
fore by the secretary be published by the
State statistcian with addition of retail sales
and any other omissions without note OF ex-
PLANTATION.
This resolution was vigorously opposed
by several present, and as heartily support
co ny OblCiS. luc COOleT anu IOIe COIlooT-
vative members took the ground that no
good could be subserved by stirring the dis
agreeable controversy; that the growth and
prosperity of neither st. Paul or Minneapo-
lis was by any means mere matter of sta
tisticS.
but a matter of fact and business prosper
ity. 1t was said if either city had misstated
facts or falsified them in any particular it
would eventually return to plague the in
ventor, and elimination and recrimination
could do no good in any event.
DR.. Keith moved the following substitute
for Mr.. Pettit's resolution:
Resolred. That the secretary of the board
be requested to make supplementary re-
port for the commissioner of statistics,
which shall show the full and aggreg ate
amount of our manufacturing wholesale and
retail business, upon the basis allowed to
other cities.
The substitute of DR.. Keith was lost, the
resolution of Mr.. Petit being adopted and
the Board adjourned.

From the Reading Eagle.
The large hog killed at Amos Engle's place,
Jacksonwald, Pa, was weighed yesterday,
and balanced the scale at $50 pounds, al
though one of the parties interested says that
the porker weighed but $50 pounds. There
were two guessing boxes, one containing $50
and the other $12. The hog was won by
Schmehl and Tro1el, who threw eighteen
heads out of twenty-one each. To several
who threw seventeen were awarded prizes in
money, and the person who threw four took
the small hog. Seven old pennies are placed
in hat by judges, who are supposed to be
impartial, and three throws are allowed by
each participant. One of the winners of the
contents of guessing box was asked how
they measured live hog to obtain its weight
when dressed and killed. He said: ssAny-
body IS allowed to measure hog in the pen
before it is killed. Take tape line and
measure from point just back of the ears
to the base of the tail. Then measure the
animal around its body at the largest part.
The hog at Engle's measured sixty-nine
inches one way and seventy-fve inches the
the other. Multiply these and we have 5,175.
Divide that by seven and you have 739 and
two over. A great deal then depends upon
how hog will dress, whether it will lose q
great deal or very little. If it will not lose
much it is best to add ten or twelve pounds.
The hog did not lose much, and 1 added
eleven pounds, which made the weight exact
ly $50 pounds, the weight that was given out
as right and which won the money!

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-For two months the o. s..

Carl Namuth, suspected of being engaged in
taking letters from the mail boxes in various
parts of the city, and to-day they effected his
capture, together with over two thousand
letters which he had in his house
which he had taken from the boxes opened and
riaed of valuable contents. His stealings,
which have extended over period of nine or
ten months, must have been very considerable.
He was German-highly educated, fine look

He is now in charge of the q. S. Marshal.

THE REPLY.
HEADQUARTERS ARMY UNITED STATES, J


WASHINGTON Jan. %.
Hon. J. @. Smith.
edge the receipt of your letter of the 23d, and
take great pleasure in assuring you that your
administration of affairs of the Indian bureau
was most satisfactory to me, to Gen.
Sherman, and to army officers generally. The
moment you were installed in office, you put
yourself in friendly official relation to myself
and through me to army officers serving on the
frontier near many Indian agencies, whereby
you secured their hearty cooperation of your
most difficult office.
believe your administration of the Indian
bureau was most successful of any in the past
ten years, and know from present observation
that you were always most active, jealous, and,
had supposed, successful in the discharge
OF its duties. 1 am certain that
your administration was efficient and thought
it economical, though unable to form an opin-
ion on this head as l had often explained to
you the great difficulty of the administration
of the Indian bureau arose from the fact that
each tribe needed special treatment ac-
cording to its past history, and existing
prejudices and absolute impossibility of con-
trolling them from Washington. The commits
sioner, also restricted by specific appropria-
tons, could not make issues of provisions and
stores to meet the claims of the day, and the
consequence was that disorders resulted from
starvation and distress which the commissioner
could not relieve.
am sure your feelings always prompted you
to be just and liberal, but you could not exceed
or change existing affairs, without violating
law; but as to your wasting public money or
property, do not believe such a thing possible.
assure you of my great personal and official
respect, and / feel sure that the more your acts
are examined the more reason you and your
friends have to be satisfied.
With respect, your friend and servant,
w. T. SHERMAN,
General IT, s. A.

down several patent medicine firms who had

was not the sole cause of our embarrass-
