The Attitude of the President.


The Post announces. in double-leaded edit
orial, that the President will not be affected in
any way whatever by the action Of the Repub
lican Senator's He has chosen his position"
and in italic continues, land from that position
he will not recede. He will continue to make re-
movals, and will steadfastly decline to explain
his reasons at the demand of any committee of
the Senate or the Senate itself"
This paragraph, believed to be authoritative,
was shown to a leading Republican Senator to-
day. He read it over and remarked: eve shall
see. Take the list of persons appointed to Office.
Count off the names Of those who have been
nominated upon the recommendation of
Mr.. German, of Maryland. Mr.. Voorhees,,
of Indiana. Mr.. Randall, of Pennsylvania, Mr..
Barnum, of Connecticut. and other leading Dem
ocrats. Every one of them is a political lieuten-
ant and personal friend of the man at whose
instance the appointment was made, and every
one of them will be slaughtered because the
President refuses to give US the papers upon
which their predecessors were suspended. How
long are these Senators going to stand that sort
of thing when they know that If the papers are
furnished their favorites will be confirmed! There
are two ways of looking at these things. The
Republican Senators are independent of the
President, the Office holders, and those who
want to hold Office, but it won't be so funny to
the Democratic Senators a month hence as it
seems now."
Action of the Civil-Service Reform League.
New YORK, Feb. 19.-The National Civil
service Reform League issued circular to-day
to the effect that at a meeting of the
league resolutions were passed that as publicity
in all matters connected with appointments
to and removals from office serves TO discourage
the use Of public Offices for partisan purposes,
and thereby greatly advances the reform of the
public service, the league recommends that the
United States Senate abandon the practice of
discussing nominations in secret session;
that laws be enacted making it the duty of the
appointing power to put on public record the
reasons for all appointments and removals; that
recommendations for appointments or reasons
for removal from Office should be treated as part
of the public records.

County Bridges.

Ed. Register.-1 notice, in one of your late
issues of the REGISTER, you have, by way
of remembrance, started the bridge question
reason it brought to my mind some things
wish to say in relation to the bride we built
across Stout's Creek last spring.
Now, you know, Mr.. Editor, that the
county court built that bridge in opposition
to the opinions and judgments of many of
our best citizens, who opposed on the
ground that the benefit of the bridge, when
built, would not equal the outlay of means
to build it. But the bride was built, and is
pronounced by the best luages of bridges as
being one OF the best in the state of Mis-
souri,, or anywhere else. And think now
that everybody is well satisfied and glad that
we have bridge, and to bear me out in this
opinion I notice that ninety -nlne e-hun-
dredths of the crossings are over the bridge,
instead of crossing by the way of the water
ford, left by the court for those who wished
to cross that way. and for the cenvenience
Of watering staek.
Now, Mr.. Editor, If you recollect, soon
after our bridge was completed traveller
was passing through our county, and when
he came near the bridge he saw persons
driving their loaded wagons across it, Jehu-
like, at full speed, and he came to the fol-
lowing conclusions; Here 10 an improve
mant that will last for fifty years, with care,
but may be ruined in five years by such reck-
less driving; and it lay so heavily on this
travellers mind that be could but inform the
editor, and it came out in the REGISTER of
that date. Now, this writer thought the
traveller was little extravagant in his con-
illusions about fhe ruin of the bridge IN five
years, but suppose the driving he saw was
terrible, and since that time this correspond.
ent has witnessed, with feelings of much re.
gret, muph snph driving as the traveller saw }
and certainly the wear and tear of the bridge
is much greater under such treatment than
it would be if shown more kindness.
When the present bridge was built, the
county court was diyided-two for, and one
against-and, as a compromise, it was agreed
by the whole court to advertise and let to the
lowest bidder the building sf brilge
igronght iron) of two spans Of GO feet each,
with three stone piers, subject to the ap-
proval or rejection Of said court; which was,
after due notice, let to the lowest bidder, ac-
cording to the plan of the bridge as it now
stands across Stout's creek. At the letting
of said bridge, five of the best bridge com.
panies of the West we're represented by their
enginesrs, and the plan submitted to. bid on

Moines Company. All agreed to bid or that
plan. The letting was at public cutlery. by

Louis Iron & Bridge Company, at the sum
Of $685. for the bridge alone, without the
piers. The court rejected the bid, so the
matter fell for the present. But the st.

which has decided advantage over all 9TH

of the piston, as is observed in the more in

They have clear, even stroke and drill rap

and will doubtless get it. The point of
greatest excellency in the invention is, that
