Northern States and therefore made it
necessary to admit applicants now from
Southern States only. This is not correct.
Although the appointments other than ln-
der Civil-Scrvice rules have hitherto been
mainly Republican and from Republican
States, this has not been the case with per-
sons passed by the Civil-Scryicc Commits
sion, These have been almost equally
divided in politics, and few States either
North or South have exhausted their
quota. The proportion Of persons passed

will presumably be fairly divided

THE tragic death of Professor Il. Il.
Odlum yesterday, at the Brooklyn bridge,
is sincerely regretted here, where the vic
tim was known as man of generous inn
pulses, who had ON several occasions haz-
arded ms life to save others. His terrible
leap TO death was foolhardy, of course,
and if it had resulted otherwise no good
could have been accomplished, but it is
proper now to recall the bravery and the
manhood hcpNhibited when it was of SER
vice to humanity.
