The indianapolis Postmaster.
Hnrper's Weekly.

Harpcr's Weekly
When the President announced that offensive
partisans might be justly removed from office
he laid down rule whichis universal, and he gave
a moral pledge to the country that it should be
applied to Democrats and Republicans alike
The complaints against Mr.. -Aquilla Jones. post
master at indianapolis, were three first, that he
had violated the rules of the ciVi-seryice by
uniustifabe removals. second, that his CONVEX
satlon showed purpose to disregard the rules:
and third, that a recent examination was
conducted unfairly toward applicants Com
missioner ThOman aud Chief Examiner LYMAN
went to indianapolis, heard twenty witnesses
took 13l pages of testimony, and the commission
reported to the President its conclusion that the
charges of improper removals and unf.s.r conduct
at the examination were not sustained, and that
while the postmasters conversation has been
reckless, he explains that it was due to his mis-
apprehension Of the requirements of the rules
Had violation of the law in regard to APP
pointments, a palpably unfair and partisan
dismissal of an officer been established, or had
the charge of tampering with the examination
been sustained, there would have been no queS-
ton that the postmaster should be removed.
But violation of the law was not il seems
proved Inc remaining question is whether
there was such offensive partisanship AS would
Justify removal. This is. of course a Question
of Interpretation and inference 1t can be best
answered, perhaps, by considering whether the
conduct and conversation OF Nj. Jones would
have been regarded in the case of a Republican
postmaster as constituting that offensive par.
tisanship which justifies removal. The words of
the President in his letter to the Civil service
Reform League arc these:
But many now holding such positions have
forfeited all just claims to retention, because
they have used their places for party purposes,
In disregard of their duty to the people, and
because, instead of being decent public servants,
they have proved themselves offensive partsans
aud upscrupulous manipulators of local party
management. The lessons of the past should be
unlearned, and such officials. as we'll az their
successors, should be taught that efficiency,
fitness and devotion TO public duty are the con
1itions Of their continuance in public place, and
Ahat the quiet and unobtrusive exercise of indi
yidual political rights is the reasonable measure
of their party service"
If more offensive partisanship in this sense has
been proved against the Republican post
masters who haye been removed for kthat cause
than against Mr. Jones, they lave been right

Rev. Mr.. Downs Denies Improper Relations
with Mrs. TabGr-What the Lady Says.

BosToN, Mass. Aug 2l-The Rev. W. ".
Downs pastor of the Bowdoin square Baptist
Church. publishes tonight statement concern
ing the charge Of criminal intimacy with a mem
ber of his church, now pending against him in
court. After describing his former relations
with Mr. Taber, the husband of the person in
question. he declares that his attitude toward
her has always been that Of pastor and friend
and that there has never been any wronCdoing
between them. The events of the night on which
he was arrested he describes thus:
Monday evening last was in her room at No.

Wnen the gas IS lit 1t is very oppressive. | had.
with her permission, removed my coat To
reduce the temperature the gas had been turned
part OF the way down. The chairs in the room,
or which there were three, were occupied by
various articles laid out to be packed, as she
intended going away with lady friend to spend
lew weeks In the country at place which my
wife and had recommended. AS she sat on the
SHE or the bed at the head eating an apple, and
at the foot with my feet resting on the floor,
discussing the projected trip, there came a ter
rifle crash. followed by her giving loud scream
and springng to her feet. Then rushed into the
room three men with various EXPLANATIONS. A
general uproar for q few seconds was followed
by perfect sef-possession on the part of Mrs.
Taber and myself. No words were then eX-
place remarks. While Mr.. Taber went for an
officer the two men accompanying him stood
guard. The arrest without warrant followed

false"
In closing the asserts his determination to
fight the matter to the end and declares that
there are il-wnds that blow in the kingdom
of God Only good will finally come from all
this"
Mr.. a. F. Butterworth, counsel for Mr. Downs.
subjons the following statement in behalf of
Mrs. Taber:
cat the time of the arrest Mrs Taber was in
the same costume which she had worn at her
work during the day. except that she had re
moved her boots and put on her slippers, and
her black dress and put on a skirt and sack.
The door of the room was not locked. and the
gas was not turned down low. There was a
cloth over the keyhole which she kept there at
all times when she was in her room, on account
of her having seen some one looking
through when she was alone. She and Mrs.
Downs are, they have been, good friends.

country, and | advise her 20 1850 Mrs. Downs

fully removed But according to statements
which have been publicly made by responsible
persons, and upon the confession of Mr.. Jones
that he did not comprehend the requirements of
the rule, it would be very surprising
II the testimony did not show some
thing more than ''quiet and unobtrusive
exercise of individual political rights"
upon the part of the postmaster. Yet, as in all
cases dependent upon evidence it is impossible to
speak decisiYely without knowledge OF the proof.
But whatever the Presidents action may be,
this incident alone shows the astonishing prog
ress Of this reform. For the alleged conduct
of the Indianapolis postmaster, which has at
tracted the attention Of the country led to an
official examination, and raised the question of
his removal is the conduct which, until very
recently. was held to be not only entirely proper,
but mere discharge of tho duty of such an
officer to his party.

The appropriateness Of this intervention in
the existing arrangements for our Serial Lit
erature will be selfevident. The recent la
mentable and all too early decease of the
brilliant novelist naturally excites great in
terest in the work he has left behind, and
calls for it's publication as soon as practicable.

THE Superior Court has decided that it can
not enjoin the aldermen and Common Council
from considering the petition of City Treasurer
Pattison, who asks to be relieved Of the pay
ment of $43, 900, which he lost by the sus-
pension of Fletcher & Sharpes and Harrison's
banks. The court does WELL The Council and
the aldermen should assume the response
bility Of determining this matter. AS the
Journal has already said, Mr.. Pattison had
the undoubted right to offer such petition,
but we cannot imagine that the Council will
for moment seriously entertain the idea of
granting it. The question is not worth argu-
ment
