Senator Saunders, Of Nebraska, has intro
duced in The senate Joint resolution propos-
ing an amendment to tho constitution Of tho
United States that will allow tho people to
elect tho largo army OF Federal ofico-
holders commissioned by tho President. Som
atcr Saunders Ia member OF tho Committee
on Civil-Ser,iee Reform, and he nays that, after
studying this subject carefully, no ID satisfied
that Ills resolution embodies reform In liz most
practical shape. He claims that to make these
officers elective by tho people would relieve tho
President Of much OF tho annoyance and
vexation that now attaches to his Office,
OF Congress. Ho says that half the time OF 4
Congressman IL occupied in attending to tho
distributing OF Federal Offices, and that the
President complains that the duty OF filling tho
petty offices OF the Government imposes
the heaviest burden upon him. MIR. Saunders
thinks this can DO remcdied by giving the peo-
pie power TO choose their own officers, and i
they make any mistakes they will
soon remedy them. Senator 6aun-
dcrs' proposed constitutional amendment
will enable election to lie made by the people Of
Postmastera, United States Msrshals. District
Attorneys OF United States Courts. Collectors
OF Internal Revenue aud other officers whoae
duties are to be performed within the limits Of
any State or part Of = State, except Judges OF
the Supreme aud inferior courts, and provides
that oil civil officers Of the United States,
heads OF departments, and officers whose du-
ties are temporary in their character, shall hold
officc for term Of four years, unless longer
term shall be fixed by Law. The amendment
empowers the President to remove any officer
