emphatically shown last week in Ohio.
The democrats are majority in the
legislature and will elect a senator to
the United States to succeed Senator
Pendleton. At a recent caucus Mr..
Pendleton was beaten, and the cry
against him was this, that he favored
civil service reform. The truth being
the fact, that he was the reputed au-
thor of a civil service reform bill
which passed the last congress and is
now being successfully tried as law.
A large number of those who worked
against Pendleton had banners on
which were inscribed, ssTo the victor
belongs the spoils." Mr.. Pendleton
is an able democratic senator, but is
struck down in the house of his
friends, for having stood up for
principle of right, and put into law
what his party has long pretended to
desire. Make a note of this next
year, when there will be finely
worded declaration in the national
democratic platform favoring civil
service reform

WASHINGTON LETTER.

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS OF THE MONITOR
Washington, January 8.
Congress has reassembled, anb the
real work of the session has begun.
Many members returned to the city
last week, while others half frozen
arrived yesterday and to-day. Some
members who are fresh from their
constituents claim to have received
enlightenment direct from the people,
on the looming question; but when
they explain, it appears that they
have only received confirmation of
their previous views. Republicans
are representing that Democratic
members have returned in a discord-
ant frame of mind. They insist that
trouble is brewing in the Democratic
family, because of the antagonism
of interests III the two great commit
tees of the House the one headed
by Mr.. Morrison, and the other by
Mr.. Randall. The former, wants
long session with tariff legislation,
the latter, they say, wants a short
session without tariff legislation.
Chairman Randall has already inaug-
urated economy in the committee of
Appropriations. His subcommittee
on pensions has decided fifteen mill
lions dollars in addition to the unex-
pended balance, will be ample appro-
priatlon for pensions this year. This
will give between seventy and eighty
millions dollars, figures that reach
what the Secretary of the Treasury
also thinks will be sufficient. Mr..
Randall says that the committees
will do nothing to delay the payment
| of pensions; but thinks money
should be appropriated on basis of
what is necessary for the year, and
not on the plan of piling up millions
to the credit of the bureau. When
the Commissioner asked for and OBJ
tanned one hundred millions of dollars
he estimated for large surplus that
reached thirty-nine millions. Mr..
Randalps distribution of work "a
mong his committee men is signifi-
cant of strict economy. The suspi-
cious committees are jealousy guard
ed. The chairman stations himself
before the sundry civil and the de-
ficiency bills, and puts Mr.. Holman
in charge of the legislative bill. Mr..
Randall also puts himself on the
subcommittee on the navy, and as
he absolutely opposes any appropria-
ton for new ships the navy depart
knows what to expect, Mr.. Keifer
is reduced to minimum, being put

in charge simply of the military
academy bill, the smallest of the set,
and assigned a place on the army
bill, another on which there is scarce
ly anything to do. Mr.. Toilet, a
new member, comes with reputa-
ton for ability. He has charge of
the subcommittee on the Di trict of
Columbia, assisted by Messrs. Hutch
ms and Cannon.
Among Mr.. Springer's New Years
resolves was one to accept the posi-
ton assigned him by Mr.. Carlisle, of
chairman of the committee on expen-
ditures in the department of Justice !;
although he insists injustice has been
done him and his constituents in the
appointment. A conspicuous part
awaits him, however, and he has an
opportunity to distinguish himself in
the first work of his committee. Hard
things have been said of the depart
ment of justice since it passed under
the control of Attorney General
Brewster, and Mr.. Springer proposes
to enter at once upon an investiga-
ton of the matter. The attorney
general being the chief law officer of
the government, it is by his opinions
that the executive is guided. The
responsibility imposed upon him is
momentus. He exercises direction
over the subordinate attorneys of the
United States and the marshals of
the courts in all the judicial districts
of all the states and territories. Upon
him also devolves the selection of
special counsel for the United States
whenever required by any depart
ment of the government. The de-
partment of justice should be as free
of faint and as far above suspicion
as the supreme court of the United
States. The examinations will be
carried on openly and Mr.. Springer
says those who have accused the de-
partment will be given opportunity
to tell all they know.
President Arthur's New Years re-
ception was more interesting Occa-
sion than anything of the sort for
years. The president manages to
take a good deal of exercise on
horseback this cold weather. He is
paying careful attention to his health.
Newspaper paragraphs have lately
made him out to be ailing, but | do
not think he has any reason to be
anxious about himself.
1t is known by this time to every
public man in Washington that Mr..
Arthur is doing little or nothing to
secure nomination to the presiden-
cy. He knows that to seek the hon.
or would probably be to lose it, and
to lose it with ignomin y. If he does
nothing at all his chances are better,
and if some other man is nominated
there is, then, no humiliation in it
for him.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

Among the important matters which
have engaged the attention of poll
ticians, as well as statesmen, for the
past few years has been "civil service
reform. For many years, or since
President Jackson's time, the princi-
pie that ''to the victor belongs the
spoiis' has been pretty thoroughly
adhered to in the appointment of
officers in the civil service. These
officers number, it is said, eighty odd
thousand. The rule, of course, makes
it necessary to effect almost an entire
change of officers in all the depart
ments, whenever there is a political
change in the administration. The
custom is wrong in principle and dis
advantageous in its results. Trained,
faithful, honest men must give place
to the inefficient, untried horde that
are hungry for positions where the
salary is supposed to be large and the
labor light, with, as some suppose,
some opportunity for stealing. There
is neither justice OF argument in favor
of the practice OF policy. No mechan-
ic would discharge Il faithful, skillful
employe and supply himself with a
man who never saw tool and whose
ability to do special work a thing of
experiment. The successful farmer
would not hire novice to do work
on his farm. In short, no business
man would think of dlscharging all
his valuable help every four years,
on account of any political change in
the country. The affairs of govern
ment ought to be run on business
principles, and nobody can deny the
| fact.
For some years both parties have
been loud in their declarations fol
s'reform,' '.civil service reform,
etc., and their platforms have con.
tanned a ''reform' plank. The Tilden
campaign came very near being sue
cessful on the reform cry, and that
elap-trap has been used in almost
every state campaign since. W.
call it clap-trap, because most ol

FROM WASHINGTON.

The bill for the restoration of Fitz
John Porter to the army was favora-
bly, reported last Wednesday by Gen.
Slocum, and, as it is the first bill on
the private calendar, it may be reach
ed and passed this week.
John Sherman, while not actually
rendered the presidency of the North
ern Pacific railroad, has been sound
ed by letter and privately urged by
some of the directors and stockhold-
ers of that corporation to accept the
place, being assured that it would be
offered if he would take it.
A vigorous effort will be made at
an early day to pass the Mexican re-
ciprocity treaty. 1t is thought to
have better chance than year ago,
as some of the senators who then OPP
posed it may have been succeeded by
others who favor it. Some effort will
be made to have the appropriation
committee kill the civil service COM
mission by either wholly refusing its
appropriation OF making so small an
appropriation that it will have to be
suspended. Some of the democratic
lawyers claim that the law is uncon-
stitutional, and there is talk of taking
a test case to the supreme court.
Although several bills retaliatory
in nature have been introduced pro-
hibiting certain imports from Ger
many and France until American pork
is allowed to be entered in those
countries, still it is more than likely
that the matter will be adjusted by
the state department. This depart
ment claims that the prohibition of
pork by those countries is violation
of treaties, and the matter is the SUBJ
ject already of some pretty sharp
diplomatic correspondence.
The impression prevails here that,
unless Mr.. Carlisle stops it, he will
be elected senator from Kentucky.
If he would consent to the use of his
acknowledgements received here to-
day assert-he would be nominated
on the first ballot.
j. l. Moore, the Parsee merchant
who has been in consultation with
Mr.. Morrison for day or two, says
that the ways and means committee
will report very simple tariff bill,
possibly one simply recommending a
horizontal reduction of 20 per cent.
He thinks such bill would pass the
house.
Mr.. Potter, with Messrs. Hunt anG
Ermentrout of the banking and cur.
rency committee, favor the issue of !:
20-year 2 per cent. bond, into which
existing bonds can be exchanged
and the repeal of the tax on all banl
circulation issued on these bonds. l
is probable, however, that the major
ity of the committee is opposed to thu
plan.

Portland Argus that there was regular
blizzard in the Notch on Wednesday,
wind blowing hurricane, snow so thick
that objects could not be seen ten feet
away, frightfully cold, and almost inn
possible to move for fear of being blown
away The train from the other side of
the mountain was an hour and half late
at Fabyan's, and Conductor Richards
lost fifty-five minutes in running in to
Portland. The snow would be removed
from the tracks, but the wind would i'm
mediately pile it in again. Down over
the Frankenstein trestle crept the train,
the cars rocking to and fro as though
they would be precipitated into the yawn-
ing chasm below. Fortunately, however,
no accident occurred.

ten miles south of Trout Creek, and
has been putfoward by the Northern
Pacific as railroad town, from which
it is claimed a good trail exists, which
makes the distance to Eagle City but
twenty eiyht miles. Projected wagon
roads will soon furnish numerous ways
of reaching the mines with case.
AS to the richness and extent of these
mines, there is no question about their
having been overestimated by enihusi-
astic individuals; yet beyond doubt these
are the richest placer diggings which
have attracted public attention for years
while valuable gold and silver quartz
lodges have been discovered ard locat-
ed. There is also large tract of I'M
prospected country, which will no doubt
be examined from end to end the COM
ing summer. Great preparations are
being made to take in saw mills, quartz
mills and large stocks of goods as soon as
the trails are passable for them. Var
ious estimates are made of the number
of men who will crowd into the gold
fields in the spring, some being salts
fed with 20 900, while others place it
as high as 100. 900. One thing is certain
there i, great excitement from Colorado
to California and from Washington to |
Arizona, and the hundreds already
defying the drifts of snow and inclement
weather indicate the rush OF thousands
as soon as spring sets in. The varions
