OLD TIMES COME AGAIN?


SIR: In view of the civil-service cries now
resounding throughout the land, and that
recent so termed tidal wave" may have, it
is claimed, in 1881 possible effect upon the
one hundred thousand 0ifcc-hOlders under re-
publican auspices in this city, as well as all
over the country, it may refresh the memory
by referring to the old JucksOnian times re-
garding removals from office, and relating to
the material prosperity of Washington.
At the first session of the twenty first con-
grCss (lS20-'3O) prominent question came up
as to the "prcsidcnts supposed power to re-
move incumbents in public office without
consulting the senate"
The advent of, Gen. Jackson had resulted in
general removal ofcXccutive officers in the
departments at the capital, as also throughout
the country to the extent of 1000 in the first
two years of his presidency. 1t resulted in II
condition of things hitherto unlinown in
Washington. In Il recent published life of
Daniel Webster (the latter being in the senate
at the above mentioned time) occurs these
passages, following on after general state
ment regarding the liberty of an incoming
executive to select new heads of the depart
mcnts known rs the cabinet;" that it had
never been customary to regard the subOrdi-
| nate places as a fund for the reward of per-
SOnal partisans or to remove faithful and com
pCtent public servants The wise fOrbearancc
that had been exercised by most of our former
presidents had left in the several subordinate
stations Il body Of trained and experienced
| men who possessed the knowledge of official
business essential to the successful working of
any government"
As Il subject Of interest to the capital city,
this fiXedncss of position was then considered
a matter of great Importance to its progress
and welfare for men who felt that they
were secure in their places so long as they
properly discharged their duties TO the gov
ernmcnt could afford to seek permanent homes
for their families when their salaries We're
earned" 1t would seem to have been anxious
times for the government employees in those
days, for rs the version goes, "it was very
common occurrence for the secretary at the
head of the department toinfOma subordinate
/ that nocomplaint could be made of the manner
in which he had discharged his duties, but
that the place was wanted for q political OF

HE SPEAKS OUT IN MEETING.

SIR: have read with interest the recent
communications in the REPUBLICAN of differ
cnt gentlemen on the southern political situ
alton, and their structures ON CLOSE COM
munion" republicans, and ! indOrsc them fully.
But these are no new ideas or suggestions.
Has not the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, been elo-
quently and ably pleading with republicans
of the south for many months past to cease the
suicidal "clOsc communion" policy and ac-
ccpt the only means of escape from bourbon
dominion? And have not Virginia repub-
licans acted upon. that plan in two successive
and successful elections? In fact Judging
from recent occurrences, Virginia may be
counted as quite as reliably a republican state
as Ohio, and il the national republican COM
mittee act wisely they may surely count her
electors for the republican nominee in 1881
1t is true we have had few "close COM
munionsts' amongst us, but they were sub
jcct to foreign influence as much to be con
demncd as they and | would say to northern
republicans. had you, during the recent cam
paign. muzzled few of your eminent but
obtuse statesmen, and suppressed few of
your assistant democratic journals that poi
soned the political atmosphere wherever
they circulated, you would not have found so
much to crticise III south ern republican
methods.
Virginia republicans understand the situa-
tion. We are for Malone and the liberals,
because they are for popular government, and
we intend to unite with them so long as they
support the principles which they have es
poused VIRGINIA REPUBLICAN.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY.
IN Ibs JyyIIor


TO The Editor
SIR; place has been suggested nor any pro-
iectstarted for the congressional library which
give promise to such valuable results as the
plan to remove the terrace from the west
front of the capitol and erect a library build
ing in its place There are many reasons why
this plan should be adopted instead of any
other which has been presented.
twill place the library just where it ought
to be, near the two houses of congress; it will
relieve the squatty appearance Of the capitol,
which now mars its beauty; it will give i'm
portance and character to one of the finest
domes in the world, now robbed of half its
beauty by too low base it will supply the
present wants of the great library, and afford
ground for its prospective needs.
No person Of taste can look at the illustra-
tion of the Somerset house in the tenth vol
ume of Applctons Cyclopcdia, at page 81, and
then at the west front of the capitol and not
be convinced of the propricty Of removing the
terrace and erecting the library building in
its place as adding much to the beauty of the
metropolis 1t is to be hoped that the draw
ing illustrative of this plan, and which was
submitted to the committee, will be litho-
graphed, that it may be seen and examined
by the people. A. &.

A PERPETUAL LICENSE.


SIR: A bill passed the house of representa-
tivcs on Monday last comforting upon the
liquor sellers of this district perpetual Ii
censc The first part of the section in refer
ence to securing license is similar to the
existing law, except the fee is placed at $3.50
instead of 500. But a proviso is placed upon
the section, that after license has once been
obtained the saloOnist shall not he required to
obtain the written consent of a majority of the
resident householders and the landholdcrs,
but on the deposit of the fee, he shall have Il
license, unless Il complaint is made against the
continuance of the saloon in said locality
Under the vague language of this provision
the commissioners might, and probably would
rule, that majority of the resident house
holders and landowners on said square must
protest against continuance of said license,
or it will be continued. Thus throwing
upon the people the trouble and respon-
sibility, each year. of preventing the
granting of license instead as the law now is,
requiring the liquor sellers to obtain the con-
sent of majority of the resident householdcrs
and landowners on said square. This is one
step backward in this age of reform. Are the
people of this district so partial to the liquor
traffic that they are willing to grant it per-
petual privileges? Are its blessings so great
that we are to have them vouchsafed to us
forever? ID. Z. IL. o.

personal friend and when this kind of frank
ness was not used, the private and trivial and
casual conversation of some inferior clerk,
involving an alleged disrespect toward the new
president and often reported anonymously,
was duly laid before the cabinet and gravely
acted upon!'
Are the Jacksonian times upon us in the near
future? We are II great nation of fifty mil
lions of people, including nearly 1000 office
holders.
In these days 1000 removals would hardly
fill the bill if 1854 should prove unpropitious

VIGOROUS GRowL AGAINST THE RAILWAYS.
To The Editor.

To The EdtOr.
The killing of Bud Eagleston by the Balti-
more and Ohio train gives me opportunity to
ask why this capital city permits the Balti-
more and Ohio and the Baltimore and POtO-
mac railways to run rampant over this city ?
A few days ago, in company with my wife and
lady and gentleman from Chicago, | had
occasion to walk from the capitol west through
the government parks to the Smithsonian
grounds. When we reached. Sixth street we
found train of the Baltimore and Potomac
railway lying on the street across the park
drive way. Two of our party crossed over
on the cars, the ladies went head or to south
end of train, and when about crossing, Il Balti-
more and Potomac locomotive ran parallel to-
the standing train on the track west of it and
barely escaped running over the two ladies.
No bell was rung. Since then have watched
the switching on this same spot and uni
formly no bells are rung, and this on a most
dangerous and privileged spOt-a thorough
fare between two great national institutions.
Is there no law to compel the Baltimore
and Potomac to stop switching on Sixth
street, or does it control the district authori-
ties and buy the right of slaughter and i'm. y
sition by Il few free passes to our authorities?
| think any man or woman passing on our
streets who is attacked by Il death dealing,
noiscless locomotive and run down, injured
or uniniured, should turn and shoot the en-
gincer on the spot. No jury in the world
could be found to convict. Things are at
pretty pass when our police are banded with
thugs and thieves and our citizens are at
tackled and killed by paid engineers Of mur-
derous corporations. Give us a law compelling
these roads to put up automatic gates across
every street they cross. A. b. G..
