Mrs. Linooln Not Blind.

The New York Times quotes DR.. Lewis
A. Savre Of that city, as follows In regard
to the statement that Mrs. Lincoln, the
widow OF President Lincoln, had written to
her friends in Illinois that she had COM
pletely lost her sight:
"The doctor said that he saw the reports
ia the papers yesterday morning, and In
the afternoon he called to see Mrs. Lincoln
concerning them. She evinced some sur
prise and annoyance on hearing them read.
She said that It had come about through the
misiuterpretation of letter sent by her
last Wednesday TO her sister, Mrs. Edwards,
In Springfield Mrs. Lincoln has suffered
considerably of late from impairment of WIS.,
ion consequent, as DR.. Sayre says, on the
tiisordered state OF her kidneys, and has not
been able to read or write without Difficult
tv. Mrs Edwards has written three times
lately to Mrs. Lincoln, and the last letter
was very importunate for reply, as
no answer had been received to
the two preceding letters. Mrs. Lin:
the moment, called her waiting maid, col
ored girl, who writes very neatly, and die
tated to her brief note, addressed TO Mrs.
Edwards, saying that she MRS. Lincoln)
could not read or write with any comfort in
consequence of defective sight, and that
she had been obliged to have this letter
written by another hand. Incidentally she
had been sitting in a darkened room very
much of late, referring to her heavily shaded
apartments in her boarding house. The
brief letter she supposes was exaggerated or
misconstrued SIS to its statements In Spring.
field, and so the information was sent to
Chicago. DR.. Sayre says that her vision is
decidedly very weak, and that there is little
reason to suppose that it will ever improve,
but that some eminent oculists of this city
will confer in few days and examine her
eyes with view to determining whether
treatment will be of benefit to them. Mean
time she is not blind, but has very weak
sight"

Judge Gray, appointed to the United
States Supreme Court, is about fifty two
years old and unmarried. He graduated
from Harvard College at the age of six
teen. He travelled extensively in Europe,
and afterward took a regular course in
the Harvard Law School and read law
with the present Judge Lowell. He was
admitted to the bar in February, 1851.
His first official position was that of re
porter of decisions of the Supreme Count
of Massachusetts, which he held from
1854 to 1861, when he resigned. He was
appointed Associate Justice of the Su
preme Court in 1864, and gradually rose,
until, upon the death of Justice Chap
man in 1878, he was appointed his sue
cessor. In early manhood he attended
as delegate the first State Convention
of the Free Soil party, and was actively
associated with Charles Sumner, G. +.
Adams, Henry Wilson, S. c. Phillips, j.
G. Palfrey and other prominent men in
that movement.

It is stated that the announcement OF
the House committees. which we pub
lished yesterday, has excited a commo'
ton in the Republican ranks In Wash
ington, and that Speaker Keifer Is com
ing in for his due share of anathemss.
He is accused of having sold out to
Simon Cameron in return for the sup
port accorded him during the Speaker.
ship campaign by the great Pennsyl'
vania Vancouver, and the accusation is
abundantly verified by the large MAORI
ties he has accorded to Pennsylvanians
on the most important committees.
Nor is this the only point in Mr..
Keifer's appointments which has excited
dissatisfaction in his party. The pre-
dominance which he has given to the
stalwarts has caused much feeling among
the conservative element of the Republi-
cans, and the latter are naturally dis
pleased. 1t is manifest that his course
has widened the breach in his party, and
it is the efore not improbable that he has
overreached himself, and that his dis
play of stalwartism will yet recoil upon
himself and his faction to the good of
the country.
As to Mr.. Refers action towards the
Democrats, it amounts really to nothing,
for it was only what was to have been
expected. He has taken great pains to
place the most able Democrats on the
least important committees, and has thus
endeavored to reduce Democratic in
fluence to a minimum. 1t is evident
from all this that, as far as MIR. Keifer
can make it, the legislation of the pres
ent Congress will be as ultra Radical as
possible. Nevertheless, it is fortunate
for the country that the Democrats are not
in a very large minority. and can success
fully thwart any revolutionary or uncon-
stitutional measures which may be at
tempted.

Practical Civil Service Reform

While the dOctrinaires are spinning
out theories and splitting hairs in efforts
to solve the problem of civil service re-
form on paper, Senator VOORHEES,, of In
diana, has framed a plan in the form of
a joint resolution offered in the Senate a
few days ago for an amendment of the
Constitution providing that all Post
masters, Revenue Collectors, Judges.
Marshals, and District Attorneys of the
United States, shall be elected by the
people of the States in the districts in
which they serve, in such manner as the
Legislatures of the States may direct.
The Rochester Union thinks that ''this
plan is plain, simple, practical and effec-
tive, and will work all the reforms
sought in the civil service of the Federal
Government. 1t is truly Democratic
plan. 1t takes from the hands of the
single man in the Presidential chair, no
matter whether he be Republican or
Democrat, the enormous power he now
Yields over the army of one hundred

of the numerous body of party cranks
who labor under the delusion that their
lab0rs in electing the President entities
them to high offices, and who persuade
themselves that the President does
them personal wrong in refusing to
appoint them. 1t plucks up. root and
branch, and casts away, the existing
spoils system. 1t brings the peoples
business directly home to the people
themselves, and gives them the means OF
correcting all abuses. 1t scatters through
the States a now centralized and danger
Gus power If the people of the States,
IN such manner as the Legislatures di-
rect, may appoint electors of President
and Vice President and thus elect Presi-

Senators in Congress; may elect Repre-
sentatives in Congress; and may elect all
their State, county, city and town Off
GERS from Governor and Chief Judge of
