 WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The President remained at his cottage to-day prepar- ing the message. It is understood that President Arthur will make one of the leading features of his message in Con- gress recommendation for Legislation upon the subject of the evil service. It will be remembered that he took very strong position on this matter in his last message, as every President has done. Congress saw fit. however, to disregard
 the Presidents recommendations an this particular, as well as with a refer ence to the reduction of taxation. It having become the fashion to critlcise the President unsparingly, the public has probably forgotten that the very omission for which people have just re- pudiated the present Congress would not have occurred had the advice of the executive been followed. A friend of President Arthur sad to-day that in substance he could only repeat Tn his message this time what he had recOm- mended a year ago. He would, how ever, DO doubt, refer Congress respect fully to the passage in his last message upon the subject of civil service, and at
 the same time would say something ill addition, the meaning of which would not be mistaken nor its earnestness doubted. There is little expectation,
 however, of practical legislation upon the subject at the approaching session.
