A Bill to Peus,on Gen. Grant.

The United States Senate rssse
bill on the l4th inst. to place Gen.
Grant on the retired list of the army
with the rank and pay Of General.
The bill was introduced by Senator
Edmunds and passed after some
discussion by u vote 40 TO Q. We
we're glad TO see that both Missis.
sippi's broad minded Senators voted
FOR the bill. Senator George made
short speech during the considpra-
tion OF the bill, in which he said in
subst auce that he was there as
Senator from Mississippi in q
restored Union. On being commits.
stoned by the people to this position
he had made covenant with him
self that in his votes in the Senate
on all questions that did not affect
the honor Of his people he would
vote exactly as If he had worn the
Federal instead Of the Confederate
uniform. He believed the people
desired the passage Of the proposed
measure. The bill is now in the
hands Of the House, and we hope to
see it pass without serious opposi-
ton.

When he took the floor, the writer

to the gallery. Mr.. BarkSdale was
in the midst of his argument, dem
onstrating that it ia within the
power OF Congress to regulate CON
mercc among the States, whatever
are its Observation-Disclosures lndcrh ,
that it was the chief object of the
States, when the convention assem-
he'd to form the present gov"rnmer'
in place of the old CONFEDERATE ou
under which each State regulated
commerce for itself, and there wa-
constant conflict and commercial
regulations. He also argued the
necessity of exercising this power
referred to the abuses which demand
correction for the public protection,
analyzed the bills before the House.
He concluded by relerriny To the be-
lief often expressed that there ar.
irreconcilable differences betwcc',

restraints OF the law, on one han :,
and the American Public On the

claiming It's right of leglIimal,

sdch control. He said he hoped
that no such "irr~presslblc conflict
exists; but if such be the case, he
concluded with a sentiment which
deserves to pass iuto "A Prnverb

The Civil Service Law.

There is nothing in the civil-ser-
vice law which presents the removal
Of any employee of the Government
but no person may be removed from
office fer refusal TO pay political
assessment or to perform any pOlit
zeal service. Not more than $4,000
officers are under the provisions OF
the law; aud while removals as To
these may be made without disclos-
ing cause, vacancies resulting from
such removals must be filled 10y the
appointment of such persons as have
ecejvea the highest mark. in com
retitlve examination, four names
helng certified TO the sppoiuted
power on notice of a vacancy. Thus
It will be seen that while the power
to remove officers falling within the
terms of the civil-service act is uniim-
tied, the incentive to removal for
other than good cause is destroyed
BY the provision which requires that
vacancic, shall be filed with persons
whose names shall be furnished nv
the commission. 1t will he graiitN-
ing, doubtless, to the otlic"- seeker 20
know that not more than one sven h
of the offices are affected hv th' lei
ter Of the clvil-seryice law.

The appointment al judge Arnold
To the Supreme Bench as the sue,
cessor of Judge Chalmer, has ma'
with almos. universal endorsement
by bar, press and people. The
Clarion, edited by Mr. Clifton. who
has for Years been Clerk of the Su-
preme Court, has this to say of the
new Judge.
Judge Arnold was a successful
lawyer while at the bar, and has
since established himself as a most
excellent nisi pri"s judge. He is a
man of scholarly attachments, and
meets the standard fixed by the
Constitution, by being learned in
the law above his fellows. Consid-
ering the public interest alone, VIC
doubt if a more suitable appointment
could have been made.

The refusal Of Gen. Grant to
allow Cyrus w. Field aud other
friends to pay his $4,000 debt to
w. H. Vanderbilt, was promptly
f'llowed by a refusal from Mrs.
Grant TO accept as a present from
Mr.. Vanderbilt for her own benefit
all title to the claims he held against
the General for the $4,000. One
of two things is apparent-the
Grants are either wonderfully
changed as to their gift accepting
capacity, or else in the past they
have been most grossly slandered.
