follows: "fho Apachos, under Geronimo are
now dCpredating west Of the Rio Grande.

and will not join the hUstiles." The agent
has been Instructed not TO arrest the Victoria
Indians as long as they arc pgaCeable, but to
keep them under surveillance.
From correspondence transmitted by the
War Department to the Indian bureau II ap.

The commissioner Of Internal revenue is
preparing II circular regulating the oxporta-
ton of spirits to foreign countries by rail. The
present regulations in regard to the oSporta.
ton Of spirits relate only to expectations by
vessels. A brisk trade in this commodity has
recently sprung up IN Canada and Mex leo aud
II Is found necessary to amend the regulations
accordingly. The circular will provide that

shall be gaugcd at the port OF expectation and

II is believed in many quarters that
the provisions Of the civil service law are
TO bo practically annulled in at least two
or three of the departments. Official acts
of some OF the heads of departments fur.
nish ground for this belief. As bearing
on this question, and plainly manifosting
disposition to ovadc tho. law, lotus take
a case that has just happened in the De-
partmcnt of tho Interior.
In THE REPUBLICAN. of tho 2Sth in.
slant it was stated As u fact. aud is true,
that tho appointment of Robert Hunter,
of Virginia, TO be chief of division in the
general land office was mado without
civil service examination, Secretary La
mar no, regarding chiefs of dirisions as
coming under he cirH scrUice id,cp
II is wcl known that besides the 70.
cordor but three chiefs Of division in the
general land Office have any legal exist.
encc, viz, principal clerk OF public lands,
principal clerk Of private lands, and prin-
cipal clerk of surveys. All other so-caled
chiefs of division are clerks of class foup
merely designated 10 act in the capacity.
Tho subdivision of the clerical force into
divisions for convenience in classify ing
aud distributing tho business is n matter
entirely within the discretion of the COM
missioner and secretary, not restricted by
statutory provision, nor directed except
in so far rs the provision for the appoint.
ment Of the principal clerks above mem
toned contains such direction.
This being true, and IL being assumed
that Secretary Lamar's position is correct,
further subdivision of the force may at
any time be made, and such clerks may
be designated to act as chiefs Of the now
divisions as tho commissioner and Sec
retary may choose to select. No atten-
| tion need be paid to the salary received
| by these now chiefs, but they may be
taken from all the classes enumerated in
/ tho law, and as rapidly as they are cre-
atcd chiefs they may BE- removed aud
their places filled by appointment Of per-
sous from the outside without civil ser.
vice examination, and for all practical
purposes the civil service law becomes a
nullity.
Tho division Of public lands has super.
vision of all classes of dsposals of the
public domain, and as many divisions
may be made of 1t rs there are land states
aud territories in tho Union, aud these
states and territories may again be cub
divided into as many divisions as there
are modes of disposing of public lands
and other divisions may be similarly sub
divided dd iiynitum.
This is no oxaggcration of possibilities
but simply the end and legitimate result
which may be attained under Secretary
Lamar's decision.
There is general desire to hear from
the civil service commission on tho sub
ject of Mr.. Hunters appointment.

"OFrENsIvE pnrtisanship" is sufficient
cause for removal of Republicans from
