Presidential fsS,tmasters.
WASHINGTON, June l5th.-In speaking
of the appointment of Presidential Pest
masters, made today, Unconstitutional
Villas said that in addition to removals for
offensive craftsmanship, there were many
more cases in which, after consideration, il
had been decided not to remove the Post
masters. In three cases, although evidence
of offensive partisanship had been pre-
scented, it was regarded as insufficient, the
President net being disposed to seize the
opportunity for removal, but to require the
existence Of craftsmanship to be shown as
ali undeniable fact. As showing the spirit
of fairness and delicacy that has
actuated the President ia dealing with
Presidential Postmasters, the PoStmas
ter-General said that there were
eighteen such Presidential appointments
made by President Arthur in the last days
of his term in cases were vacancies had oc-
CURED, and which had been confirmed by
the Senate, but no commissions had been
issued In all these cases, as a matter of
legal right, President Cleveland could have
made appointments, because the act of APP
pointment had not been completed by the
issuance of commissions, but he thought it
only considerate and fair that he should
act of appointment, and it had been done
in all cases but one, and in that case there
had been resignation by the appointee
before the commission was issued.
Measurements About Judge Field.
WASHINGTON, June 15th-JuStice Field
position in regard to California appoint
ments has been nlistold in many of the
dispatches from this city sent TO the Pacific
coast One of the base falSehoods uttered
about him is to the effect that he opposed
the appointment of Montgomery to be At
torney-General for the Interior Department
because of Montgomery religion. Attor-
ney-General Garland never told Field of
his intention to appoint Montgomery until
after he had recommended the President to
make the appointment. Field then said he
remembered Montgomery long time ago
as a bright and promising lawyer but had
not known him of late years. He said that
possibly Montgomery's position on the
subject of common schools might cause
comment if he were appointed. The At
torney-General denies emphatically that
Justice Field ever alluded to Montgomery
religion.
