The Camden Herald says the revenue steam
er Dallas has lately been doing good work at
Rockport in breaking out the ice and thus re-
leasing the vessels that were frozen in. She

The Civil Service Commission.

The President stated before leaving for New
York that he would probably send the names
of the Civil Service Commissioners to the SEN
ate or Monday, and that he was still uncertain
as to one of the Commissioners. The gentle
man who is authority for this statement says
that the President has decided that one of the
Commissioners shall be Western Democrat
AS Western Virginia is not State, this prob
ably settles the case of Mr.. Hoge, whose friends
have been using all the arts known to the pol
iticians to secure the place for him, notwith-
standing he voted against the Civil Service
bill. Moore of New Hampshire is still strongly
urged upon the President for one of them. The
person most active in his interest is Secretary
Chandler.
The Mexican TT eaty.
1t cannot be learned that there was any op-
position in the Senate Committee on Foreign
Affairs to favorably reporting the Mexican
treaty. Tho strength of the treaty is greater
than it was two week ago, and its promoters
are very confident OF success. At all events,
the facts of the case will undoubtedly be settled
at this session, as no one wants an extra ses-
sion. Those who have been most prominent
in opposition, however, are still of opinion that
the treaty will not be ratified.
