The Republican Congressional Com
mittec.


The reelection of Hon. Jay A. Hubbell
as chairman of the Republican Congress
sional Committee is hailed with general
satisfaction by Republicans in all sections
of the country, lie is a hard-working,
earnest man, and his great work in 1880
will never be forgotten. No better selec-
tion could have been made
His thorough knowledge of the
political situation in all sections, and
his liberal views toward all sincere anti
Bourbons in the South, fit him for the
important work before him. Now let the
Republicans everywhere wake up and get
their armor on. No well-informed Re-
publican believes that we should have
had the present House but for the untir-
irg and judcious work of Mr.. Hubbell
and his faithful aids.
The only persons spoken Of for the
secretaryship are Mr. Mcpherson, who
so ably filled the position in the last COM
mittce, and Colonel Hooker, of Vermont
(Sergeant-at-Arms of the House), the
efficient and equally able assistant sccrc-
tary of the National Committee. The
election ofcither roftheso gentlemen would
guarantee the best possible performance
of the arduous duties of the place.

To the Editor ofTHE REPUBLICAS:
In your issue Of yesterday is the announcement
that the committee of the National Rifles fair has
decided that the protest of the hotel clerks against
the awarding Of the watch to Mr. Seachrist goes
for naught, as they permitted his name to remain
as candidate without entering any protest
against its continuance as such. This is incorrect,
for II can be shown that Mr.. HOlschuh of the st.
James Hotel, protested against Mr.. seachrists
name being bRlloed for on the ground that he 81
was not n hotel clerk. A number of my guild TO
whom l have spok en- believe with me that a
great injustice will be done If the wateh be
given to Mr.. S, Perhaps the public is not aware
that If Just decision be made, the amount paid
by Mr.. SIS 'friends-something over Si00-will be
refunded In some way or at any rate be lost to the
receipts of the fair Yet in the opinion of all fair
minded people, this sum should not influence the
committee n iot or little from doing what is Just
H. as | have stated, n protest was made against
Mr.. SIS candidacy, does not the decision OF the
committee, and not our protest, go for naught?
Won't you please decide? G. L.

Two different bills relative to reform In the civil
service system Of the country are now before the
appropriate committee in the senate-one by Mr.
Dawes the other by Mr.. Pendleton. The former
virtually re-enacs the system established under
the act of Congress of 1871 by authority of which
act elaborate rules and regulations were recon-
mended by commission Of "suitabe persons"
designated by President Grant and which rules
and regulations were adopted and promulgated by
him, Under this system u commission of nd
vice, supervision, and appeal was estab-
lshed and continued in operation so long
Us Congress made the requisite appropria-
tiOns. Upon the Te-enaetment OF this
well-iried legislation Mr., Dawes bill en-.
gratis the competitive system. The bill Of Mr..
Peudeton is not satisfied TO re. enact the existing
law, which resulted In the establishment OF har-
monionsly working commission and the carefully
prepared ana thoroughly tried rules aud rePula-
tions, but virtually wipes ont the past legislation
with the already promulgated but temporarily
suspended rules aud machinery for tho purpose OF
establishing by law different aud compara-
lively independent commission, with greater pow.
ors than possessed by the commission desgnqted
by the President uider the existing law The
commission of advice, supervision, and ap-
peal established by the President under existing
law has not acted by recOmmendation or other
wise with regard 10 the newly proposed legsla'
tion, AZ the last session Of the last Congress an
appropriation Of $4,000 was made 20 bo used by
the President for promoting the efhoiency OF the
d0ltlal action.

THE friends of DR.. Lamson in this coun-
try are moving to obtain the friendly action
of this Government in the case of Dr.
Iamson, recently convicted in London
of the murder of his brother-in-law
They expect to show such q condition
of mind in Lamson upon the subject of
the use of aconite as will establish a
degree Of mania upon which he
acted rather than any criminal intent.
They are said to be making very strong
case. 1t is thought that an appeal by our
Government in behalf of clemency, based
upon testimony not obtainable at the
trial, would have much influence when
joined to the petitions of Lamson's family
and friends.
