To the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: In July, 1884, Colonel Harrison Adrcon, IL

clerks having been dismissed for improper conduot
Under these and to prevent nterrupon

Civil Service Commission to send special examiner y
Baltimore to examine gentleman who had formerly.
been foreign money order clerk and was familiar with
the duties of the department. The commission after
teegraphng to know If 1t was desired TO appoint tie
gentleman chief of money order division and ~
ceivng rely In tho negative, answered that
competitive examination should be held and that
" Chief Examiner" Lyman would attend It. Tho
gentleman was examined aud passed, and he was thea
appointed and sworn in rs money order clerk Tho
Postmaster then wished to have another former clerk
the money order div ison specially examined to fill the
other vacancy but the Commission under signature Of
its secretary objected in this language: "Tbe con.
mission has instructed to say that 1t does not think
that would be in conformity TO the rules to ill thai
vacancy otherwise than by certica0n from the Reg
ister" The Postmaster was prevented therefore from
awaiting himself of the services Of experienced clerk
and compelled to appoint an eligible from the Civil
capacity IN the Office. This Civil Service Law a.
interpreted In 1884 for a Republican Postmaster.

that the Republicans OF that state had become so
divided into factions that the election OF United

would result in a breach OF the party. But the NOM
nation of Mr.. Blair the.brst ballot, with eight
more votes than were necessary for choice. and
the subsequent decision to make the nomination
unanimous, show that the party IN that State also

The arrest of Maxwell, accused of the murder OF
his friend in St. Louis hotel, once more shows how
hard it is for fugitves from justice to escape in
these days of almost universal telegraphc commnnl-
cation, provided the crime charged brings the de-
PENDANT within the scope of extradition treaties.
Maxwell appears to have had an erroneous concep-
ton of the possibilities in this direction, for he had
not taken the trouble to rid himself of incrmnat
ing evidence. number of articles bearing the in
itas of the murdered man were found in his posses
sion, and his attempt to pass himself of as
Frenchman was completely frustrated by the dis
covery among his baggage of books and a drawing
asce inscribed with his own name at length His
attempt to explain away this damning testimony
by pretending that he bought all the articles at San
Francisco shows that he is not gifted with suff-
GENTLY fertile imagination to carry role of de-
cepton successfully In fact all his tricks of dis
guise have been SO poor and transparent that in
stead of diverting suspicion from him they have
served to identify him as he went along. AS the
stands, there is good reason to anticipate his
conviction q chain of circumstantal evidence
rarely excelled for strength and completeness.

Buddcnsieks counsel cannot get over.
r General Grant made the journey from the
city to Mt McGregor. near Saratoga, yesterday
in comparative comfort and with less fatigue
than might have been expected, considering
that travelling just now is dusty work. The
kind wishes of an affectiOnate Nation follow
him to his retreat, and every one hopes that his
condition will he improved by the change.
Bulletins from Mt. McGregor will be watched
for this summer with interest akin to that with
which dispatches from ElberOn were waited for
four years ago.
The rapid spread of cholera in Spain thus
carly in June indicates that the utmost vigil
ance on the part OF the Quarantine authorities
here will be required to keep the plague from
getting foothold in this country. The New
York officials are keeping careful watch but 1t
docs not seem certain that equal watchfulness
exists at other American ports. When the
cholera came here before, it travelled up the
Mississippi Valley, and it might easily arrive by
that route again II the New-Orleans ofhcers
were caught mapping.
The latest solution proposed for the Cabinet
problem in England 10 to shove the safe, but
allow, Sir Stafford NOrthcote into the House OF
Lords as a new peer, and to put him in subor-
dinate place in the Ministry. This, it Is said
would leave an open field for Lord Salisbury as
Premier, and give the Conservative leadership
In the House of Commons to Sir Michael Ed

position is made of Lord Randolph Churchill,
and 80 long as he remains in the Commons there
