BUTLER ON CIVIL SERVICE.

BUTLER ON CIVIL SERVICE.
Ben Butler was interviewed a few

stitutionality OF the civil service law
and gave ii as his opinion hat said
law WAS unconstitutional What
ever may be said OF hln politically,
Gen. Butler is admitted 10y all, TO
be one OF the finest lawyers in this
country, aud his opinions upon
questions II constitutional law have
for years been given considerable
weight by the most eminent iurists
la the United States. He bases his
eulclaslons upon the ground that the
civil service law interferes with tile
appointing pJwer vested In the
pr sident and in the heads Of de-
parlmcnts by the constitution of the
United States, and is therefore in
violation Of tine spirit and letter OF
said instrument His position is a
strong one and ought to receive the
attention which lis Importance de-
serves. The president derives his
power TO appoint from the conslitu-
ton itself and the only check which
is placed upon that power is, that in
certain cases the consent of the sen~
ate is required, while In others there
is NO Limitation whatever. Congress
may, and has created many rfices,
an has vested in the president and
heads Of departments, the rig st TO
appoint men TO Fl these places, as
tho constitution provides may be
done; but in these cases Congress
has no power to say who shall be
appointed to fill the places SD Great
ed. That is left entirely to the
appointing power. The constitution
does not give Congress the power TO
say who shall be appointed to places
of honor and trust, as is attempted
to be done by the civil service law.
II Congress has the power 10 say
troa what class of persons the APP
Pointments shall be made. they have
the power to direct what particular
individual shall be appointed. OF
course if he president and heads Of
departments clio So to be governed
b. The provisions of the civil service
law, there is 10 one to object; but
the whole law is an abominable
farce and we would like to see the
question Of It's constitumality raised
in some way so that it could be
determined by sths Supreme Court
Of the United States.
