IGNORING rhELAw.

The Bridgton News referring to the sp
pointments of Messrs. Smith and Moulton
and the Rev. Mr.. Bellows to positions in the
custom house by Collector Anderson, says
the offices which all three of them are to fl
are specially exempted from the civil service
law. Messrs Smith and Moulton are ap-
pointed deputy collectors, and it is true that
this office does not come within that law
Mr.. Bellows is appointed clerk of customs.
The Bridgton News will oblige us greatly by
pointing out the section of the law, or the
rule of the commission which exempts Mr..
Bellows from the necessity of undergoing a
competitive examination. By the terms of
the act of Congress all officers who have to
be confirmed by the Senate are exempted
from examination A clerk of customs is
is not an officer of that description. Rule
XIX, adopted by the commission and ap-
proved by the President and now in force, is
as follows:
There are exempted from examination the fol,
lowing: /. The confidential clerk OF secretary OF
any head of department OF office. 2 Cashiers
of collectors. 3. Cashiers of postmasters 4.
Superintendents Of money order divisions in post
offices. 5. The direct custodans of money for
whose fidelity another officer lis under official
bonds and disbursing officers having the custody
OF money WHO give DOIuos Dub tutSG cACSptIOuS
shall not extend to any official below the grade OF
assistant cashier or teller. 6. Persons employed
exclusively in the secret service of the govern
nnent or as tranSators or interpreters, or Stenog-
raphers. Z. Persons whose employment is exclu-
sivey professional, but medical examiners are not
included among such persons. 8. Chief clerks
deputy collectors, deputy naval officers, deputy
surveyors of customs, and superintendent, or
chiefs of divisions or bureaus.
These cover all the special exemptions that
the law or the rules contain Mr.. Bellows's
Office is not included in the above list Pos
sibly the News has been misled because Mr..
Bellows has been styled the private secretary
of Collector Anderson by the newspapers.
As matter of fact the Collector is not al
lowed private secretary, and If Gen. An
derson had nominated Mr.. Bellows to such
an office the Treasury department must nave
refused to confirm him, because there is no
authorization of law for any such employ
ment in the Portland custom house. Mr..

We regret to feel obliged to call the attention
Of those prominent Republicans and Republican
that FASTENED to congratulate the

position of Appraiser 70 make place for the
Augusta correspondent of the Argtts, and the re-

for the agent of the Boston Post.-Bangor Wing.
And we regret to feel obliged to call the
attention Of that prominent Republican
newspaper, the Bangor Wing, to the
fact that the Collector has nothing to
do with the removal or appointment of
appraiser at this port. Ex-Governor Perham
was not turned out by Collector Anderson.

The Boston Herald has succeeded in OBJ
tanning the views of Cows. Knott of Ken
lucky, Perry of Florida, Hughes of Arkan-

the effect on Southern politics and the negro
vote, of the election in New York. No
more recent subject than earpet-bag rule and
the consequent necessity of Democratic as
eendancy seems to have engaged the thoughts
Of these gentlemen. They write that their
people and their party are loyal, that they
welcome all newcomers, political speakers or
others, and that they think the negro values
the right of suffrage less than he once did.

The Prohibitionyote of New York will
probably not much exceed 10000. That.
however, is an increase of 5000 on last years
vote. Just what proportion of the men who
voted the Prohibition ticket voted it cut of
regard for temperance it would be interest
ing to know. That a considerable part of
the vote came from men who take no special
interest in prohibition but for one reason
and another have fallen out with the two
principal parties, is undoubtedly fact.
