Against the Western Union.

The suit Of the Western Union Telegraph
Company and the Belt Railroad and Stockyards
Company against the Baltimore g. Ohio Tele-
graph Company, was dismissed from the federal
court, yesterday, by Judge Woods, for want of
equity. 1t was claimed by the Western Union
that they had the exclusive right to do the tele-
graph business of the stockyards, and they
therefore asked the court to grant permanent
injunction against the Baltimore & Ohio doing
business there Judge Woods holds that it is
against public policy for any telegraph company
to be granted monopoly, and according to pre-
vious decisions of the courts no railroad compa-
ny could give the exclusive right to operate such
business. The decision is Of vital Importance to
the Western Union and they have appealed the
case to the Supreme Court of the United States.

A GRANT MONUMENT FUND.
The Western Union Telegraph Company Will
Open Books for Subscriptions.

The Western Union Telegraph Company has
subscrib ed 5000 toward national monument
to the memory of General Grant, and subscrip-
ton books will be opened in each OF it's Offices
for the receipt of subscriptions The following
circular, received by Superintendent Wallick
yesterday, explains the plan:
Chicago. H.. July 90.
"J f. Wallick: The executive committee of
the Western Union Telegraph Company resolved
at Its meeting to day to subscribe the sum of
$1,000 towards the fund for a monument to Gen.
Grant. 1t also resolved that the managers of
the Offices Of the company should be Instructed
to receive subscriptions to the fund from the
public. Please, therefore, instruct your re-
spective managers by telegraph, to display in
their offices notices to the effect that they are
prepared 70 accept such contributions and to
give informal receptStherefor, which receipts
will be subsequently replaced by formal receipts
from the committee of the Grant Monument
Association, which has been appointed by the
mayor Of the city of New York. The simplest
l think, be for each manager to provide himself
with ordinary cheap pass-book in which,
under appropriate heading, he shall request
each subscriber to write his own name, his post
Office address and the amount of his subscription
and for which subscription the manager will give
an informal receipt in the following form, viz:
"Receivedo of - - this - dav Of -, the sum

ment fund, which money is be forwarded 20 the

Civil Service Reform Problems.

SECRETARY LAMARS LATE EAPPOINTMENT-THE
EXCLUSION OF DAKOTA, ETC.
The question arising from Secretary Lamar's
appointing, without a civil service examine
tion, chief of division in his department whose
salary brought him to the rank of a fourth class
clerk, has not yet been settled. The question is
whether the exception of heads of divisions from
the operation OF the civil service rules applies
to heads of divisions, appropriated for as such.
or to all who are so termed in the blue book, In
the case under discussion there Is no such 1i.
vision pl divided for in the appropriation bill as
that Of which the clerk was chief, but the blue
book shows the existence of such division
with a chief and some thirty forty clerks
under him. There are about eleven of these
cases in the Interior department, but no more
than three or tour Of them in the other depart
that all "chefs of divisions so recorded i'm the
blue book are excepted from the operation of
the civil service rules but such decision will
not affect the fourth class clerks
1t Is said at the civil service commissioners
Office that there Is no controversy between the
commissioners and Secretary Lamar concern
ing the refusal Of the commission to assign a
service. The facts in the case are simply this
that Secretary Lamar, in sending in an appli-
cation for five clerks, suggested that one come
from Dakota; but the commission could not
comply with his desire, as the Territory had its
quota, and would not be entitled to an appoint
ment for some time. When this was explained
the matter was dropped. AS to filling vacan-
cies by men from the same state from which
the former occupant of the place was appointed,
though such thing might happen without de-
sign.
