who laughed in each others faces after
they had imposed on the people with their
mummeries and their feats OF divination,
were not more attractive targets for sar-
casms than the wire pnliers and spoilsmen
OF to-day who are talking civil service re-
form. The men, who g few months ago
were sneering at the reformers as sore
heads or fools, and who now deny the sin
cerity Of the real advocates of genuine re-
form, are solemaly assuring each other, in
the senate chamber and in the halls of the
house OF representatives., Of the great
need Of reform Of ths civil service, and
the manifold objections to the Use of pub
lie Offices as spoils. What these gentlemen
say on this subject in the privacy of the
CLOAK rooms it would be indicate for
those who know to reysaasThe most anus
ing transformation i, The whole range is
that which has come over the Sepaotiea2a
of this CITY, under the general M >gs-
mont OF Mir. H.t.tou ard containing the
editorial articles Of Mr.. Gorhanl. Il would
be unjust to say to these gentlemen thar
the remark which made Flanagan, Of
Texas famous at Chicago in 1880, might
have been made by either of them, but it
would not be unjust to say that they have
always enthusiastically approved the use
of patronage for the procurement of votes
for the Republican party
AMI have looked with pity,
if not loathing, on the persons who have
pretended to condemn the practice.
LOGAN STILL FIGHTS.
The suggestion having been mace to-day
to Gen. Logan that it was not expected
that serious opposition would be made to
the Fitz John Porter bill, this session, he
ment is absurd. The opposition will be
quite as pronounced; more SO, think. I
shall not make as long speech, but I will
be just as earnest Gen. Logan Will be
supported in his opposition by some who
last winter were disposed to take the ART
Of Fitz John Porter.
THE THIRD PARTY HEARD FROM.
Judge Davis furnishes the following /:
'The statement that Senator David Davis
had refused Il request of the Republican
caucus to reorganize the committees OF the
sen ate is unfounded. No such request was
ever made, for the best reason that the sub
ject was never considered in the caucus.
There are Republican and Democrat sena-
tors who are dissatisfied with their places
on comm tees, who desire to have them
improved; bue their party friends cannot
agree among themselves about changes
and therefore their restless ambitions car
not be gratifed. 1t is wholly indifferent
to the president of the senate whou, TIE
respective caucuses may select for the com
mittees. Usage gives them that power
and be only acts when especially author
lied by motion in the senate to appoint, OF
fill, as the caucus determines.'
THE NEXT HOUSE.
The clerk of tho house is engaged in the
preparation of the roll of representatives
elected to the Forty eighth congress. As
made up it bears the names of 191 Demo
Gratis, l21 Republicans, six Readiusters
three Independent Democrats and two In
dependent Republicans. There are vacan
cies in two districts, cause by the death
of Updegraff, Of Ohio, and Heron, OF
Louisiana. OF course, this roll Is merely
tentative, and may be changed in several
respects. For example. Manning's name
is on it, but the clerk has not yet received
Manning's certificate of election, an6
Chalmers his filed protest, backed by
strong evidence, against the placing OF
Manning's name upon the rolls.
