II looks the least bit absurd for the
Republican organs and politicians to
question the Presidents right to re-
move people from Office and discuss
with so much ingenious sophlstry
the application Of the civil service
law. The republicans never let laws
or constitutions stand Ia their way.
They claimed oil the Offices and got
them. The question of justice or
constitutional authority weighed moth

q mine of Information TO be extracted
from the debates OF that period upon
the question, how far the Senate
should be admitted to share IN the
responsibility for official tenure, and
whether the power Of removal was
vested In the President alone or in
the Presldent and Senate. That dis
cussion was spirited and elaborate,
although unimpassioned, and mani
tested q sincere desire on the part oi
the statesmen OF that period to reach

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.

Gen. Badger, Collector of Customs at
New Orleans, has bseh instructed by
The authorities at Washington to reduce
the force in his Office by the discharge
of Special Deputy Collector Tom An
derson. This is the notorious swindler
who cheated the American people out
of their deliberately expressed choice
for president. As reward for that
service Hayes made him Collector of
the Port, and he has held good office
every since. We hope to see the time
come when every scoundrea who took
part in that awfu! crime shall be driven
from place and power and Stunned by
all decent people.

Wednesday, Mr.. Noltner, stepping
down and out and Mr.. PsttingIll talk
ing charge. rhe Standard will continue
a democratic paper. We extend an ar
dent wish for success for the new prop
rietor. Mr., Pettingill Is an able writer
and ons calculated to do much good
for the community, and to promote and
build up the democratic party. The
following from Mr.. Pettingill's ennoun-
cement will outline his purpose
"rhe people now demand what the
Republican leaders most dread--the do.
votion of the public offices exclusively
to the public service, the occupation Of
the public mind with questions of ed
miristrativs reform, the infusion Of
simplicity and economy into the man
agement Of public affairs, and the sub
stitution ofa generous absorption in
questions affecting the popular welfare
for the cultivation Of the triekery and
demagos-y which have played so large q
part in the Blaine conception Of public
life. In furtheranea Of this demand the
Standard will aim TO treat all public
questions in the light of public rather
than personal considerations. In ths
publication of news it will recognize
tho fact that the opportunities of at

In the hearing of the L,uderdale

Mr. Stephen Nash testified that be-
tween 1851 and 1880 the laws govern
ing marriage in tho state of New York
required only a contract Of marriage
made in the presence Ct witnesses, with
out ceremony Of any kind. United
States Minister Phelps gave similar
testimony:
The Earl of Selborne, Lord High
Chancellor, moved that in consideration
of Mr. Phelps position he be accommo-
dated with a seat in the body of the
House. This was q most unusual pro-
cceding for Lord Chancellor to take,
and the action is regarded as a special
and extraordinary mark Of honor, aud
as an adequate eecogniat;on of the
American Minister'S courtesy in con-
sentiDg to appear as witness before
the Lords. When SIR. Phelps arose to
leave the chamber, their Lordships all
arose and bowed defsrentiaily to him,
che American Minister gracefully re.
farming the greeting.

and return on the occasion of the re-

attention here among those who accom-

President was the only one Of tie in
vited guests who was not deadhead.
He refused the invitation of the rail-
road company that otner dignitaries
accepted with thanks. The President
also refused to go as the guest of the
