The CiyiI.Seryice I'LL.

When our Senate report closed yesterday the
Civil'Service bill was under consideration.
Mr.. Barrow (Ga.), successor OF the late Sena.
tor Hill, briefly opposed the bill, and was fol.
lowed by Mr.. Dawes, who said that the bill was
right in principle, II not perfect In details and
he would cheerfully support 1t.
MIR. Morgan alluding to the annoyance and
humiliation put upon Senators and Represent
atives, when required to go to tho Depart
ments and ask for ol1lces, announced that he
would offer an amendment later, providing
that no recommendation from Senator or
Representative should be considered by any
person making an appointment, unless IL has
been previously asked in writing by one or
more of the examiners.
Mr.. Hoar suggested that, as the examina.
tlons We're to be competitive, the amendment
had better prohibit, absolutely, all such recon.
mendatione.
Mr.. Morgan said that before Offering the
amendment he would consider the suggestion.
He intended 10 offer also another amendment,
requiring applicants 10 be examined In the
States and Territories whore they resided, the
object being TO prevent the immigration OF
people into Washington to follow the business
OF onlce-seeking.
Mr.. Call made an argument to show that the
bill proposed to infringe upon the appointing
power OF the Executive, and was therefore un-
constitutional. He also criticised some OF the
provisions OF the bill. He yielded for n mo.
tion to go into executive session, which wa;
agreed TO-
The Evening critic., 1882-12-21

Tho meeting Of iron manufacturers held in
Nttsburg yesterday was the largest since the
strike. Reports from all sections as to the con.
dition OF trade showed that while prices were
low, the volume OF trade was fairly good and
tho prospects for next season very bright. II
on nails should not be changed, but that the
selling rate be 2A cents. While this may look
like a reduction, II is In reality an equallza-
tlon, as many manufacturers have been
moro. This action Will have no effect upon
tho rail market and wages. Tho report of the
Tariff Comission was considered, and, while II
was not altogether satisfactory, It was In
doreed and a resolution was adopted urging
Congress 70 pass II this session.

1I,e yisit of prince Ariyurovn.

Princes and commoners usually come TO this
country, the former for pleasure and the latter
10 make money. Prince Arisugawa, of Japan,
who 10 now here, deserves specially good
treatment, inasmuch as he has not arrived to
help exterminate the buffalo, to upset fash

pearance on the stage. His is q business visit

Miss Bates has been wise in rescuing from
oblivion variors charming verses which have here
tolore appeared only in newspapers. Her selections
from the works of distinguished poets, il not always
the best that could be made are at least sufficiently
interesting. The true lover Of modern poetry how
ever. will be inclined to wonder why eleven pages
containing twenty extracts should be devoted TO
Thomas Campbell, bile Matthew Arnold has only
two and quarter pages with seven extracts, and
Robert Browning eight and half pages with eight
extracts. 1t is matter of surprise that Shake

are Instances as curious among the American poets,
but these perhaps should not be mentioned consid

Bates's waits from the newspaper might have been
omitted with advantage; and the supplementary
division Of extracts under the head Of Sportiye,
Satrica Humorous and Dialect Poems is puz-

much not easily found elsewhere, and IS nicely
printed and deliberately bound, it will doubtless
find popularity rs a gift book.

Chaplain Van Horne enjoyed the full confidence
of General ihumas ana appears as a quasl-Oiticial
defender OF that distinguished commanders fame.
1t was with Thomass appreciation If not at ms re
quest that he wrote the History of the Army OF
the Cumberland few years ago, going over with
very fall dttaI great deal Of the ground which Is
trayerscd more rapidly in the present volume. As
the Life - now before us is not a personal bic.
craphy but rather mi tary history the reader may
wonder why it should have been thought ncces-
sary TO undertake it. The explanation lies in the
fact that as the preface says. General Thomas
has been uriustly treated in some of the histories

with Grant. and his differences with Schoield.
These are unpleasant topics, but it was impossible
to avoid them. We are not sanguine as to be-
lieve that Mr. Van Horne has said the last word
on these Subjects but he has maintained the cause
of his friend and hero with ability, and has GER
tany explained some points which have been
misunderstood.
