SENATOR EDMUNDs' PLAN


 The bill concerning the appointment of government officers which was lately intro duced by Senator Edmunds has not, perhaps, yet attracted the attention it deserves, but it will probably get a very thorough discussion. This bill applies to all officers now appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate except heads of departments, assistant secretaries, assistant postmasters general, assistant attorneys general, ambas- sadors and other public ministers and con- suls, justices and judges of the courts of the United States, including the Supreme court of the District of Columbia, the supreme courts of the territories and the Court of Claims. Officers in the military and naval service of the United States, collectors of customs in districts in which the gross reve- nues collected in any one year exceed -, the treasurer and assistant treasurers of the United States, comptroller of the currency, commissioner of internal revenue, comptrol- Ter of the treasury, auditors of the treasury, commissioner of customs, register of the treasury, solicitor of the treasury, director of the mint and a few other important officers. These would be appointed, as they have been, with the advice and consent of the Senate. All the rest would be appointed by the Pres ident, without any participation of the Sen ate for term of four years. But it is pro- vided that, whenever the President or head of department has reason to believe that any officer so appointed has been guilty of malfeasance or neglect of duty, or of any official or personal misconduct, he may sus- pend such officer, and shall make immediate application to the circuit justice, circuit judge or district judge of the district for his removal, and the judge shall hear Gin summary way" the case and determine and decide whether or not he shall be removed.
 The Springfield Republican prints an ex- tract from @ private letter of Senator Ed munds, in which he explains the motives and operations of this bill. One of the points he makes is that the check of the Senate on the President is now almost nil, and he says: AS every President, therefore, now knows that practically he can select whom he pleases to fill vacancies, see no danger whatever in allowing him to make those selections on his own responsibility in form as he does now in substance, and we shall thus get rid of log rolling and lobbying and something perhaps of Opportunities of Senators in respect of appointments; and the man being once selected he becomes as independent in the just exercise of his official duties as Presidents and Senators and mem bers of Congress are in theirs.

COMMUNICATIONS.
The old State House.


 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Happening in on Monday evening at a ses- sion of the Common Council, heard the old State House question discussed somewhat, and evidencing on the part of some of the speakers desire, and determination too, to annihilate it.
 It appears to me, MT. Editor, that it is about time to make 8 statement or two touching part of this question, not thus far considered, and it is this: That the manner of the gift, the source of the gift and to whom given, confers no right upon this gen eration upon those who happen to repre- sent the city of New Haven in it's municipal capacity, to obliterate that building.
 l. It was built by the taxpayers of the State and it was given by the State to the inhabitants of New Haven. Not the .inhab- itants of to-day, nor of tomorrow, but for all time, and being located iu the central part of the city, the givers had right to be- lieve that the good sense of the people would put it in order for such proper uses for tho present and future generations as the from generation to generation dictate.
 II. That though there might be some, or even large number of the people who would tear it down today this class could not over ride the rights of future generations and pre- vent them from exercising their wisdom and pride as to it's uses when ln their turn they come upon the stage.
 ILL Every citizen of the State on coming to New Haven has now, and ever will have, the right to look upon that building and to enjoy it's contents, such library, where they would have right to consult it's books, write letters, take notes, enjoy it's Historical society and collections, its museum, its de- batting society rooms, etc., etc.
 W. That any attempt to destroy it would, for the above and other reasons, lay the foundation for an injunction to restrain the hands of destroyers who might venture to attempt to deprive future generations (and the citizens of Connectieut) of a right they have to avail of that building for all time for such uses as time in it's progress may call for, and thus stop the removal of the first stone. At all events such a conflict is in store for those who shall venture the expert ment of it's annihilation. POINT DEXTER.

l tons daily, the best kind coming from Gren oble or Burgundy. The finest specimens are l carefully reared in escargotiere, o1 chin monks planted in bygone days | at Colmar and Weinbach when they had no money to buy food and 50 cultivated snails. But the majority are collected by the vine dressers in the evening from the l stone heaps where the snails have assembled to enjoy the dew. The creatures are then starved in dark cellar for two months, and when they have closed up the aperture oi
 their shell are ready for cooking. Accord
 ing to the true Burgundy method, they are
 boiled in five or six waters, extracted from the
 shell, dressed with fresh butter and garlic,
 then replaced in the shell, covered with
 parsley and bread crumbs and finally sim mersd in white wine.
 In Alaska the salmon jam the estuaries and inlets so that the fish cannot move at all. A recent tourist in that region says the outlet at Lake Lo1ing, which is a rivulet two miles long and two rods wide, connecting the salt water with the fresh, is so choked with living salmon that if plank were laid across their protruding backs man could walk across dry shod. One can lift them out with his hands until he is tired. It is almost impossible to thrust spear or boathook into the mass, and, of course, a fish must come out whenever it is withdrawn. Bears take thoir opportunity to scoop them out with their great paws, and when they have regaled themselves to satisfy they retire to the adjacent thicket for a dessert of berries, which grow in great abundance and variety. Of course great many salmon get into the lakes at every tide, but after each recession multitudes are stranded, of wich the lustiest flop back into the ocean, while the msimed and hapless remain dead and stranded on the denuded rocks.

 And now it is related that Grand Master Workman Powderly would not object te be governor of Pennsylvania, and that he if to get the Democratic nomination. He would find it easier to govern Pennsylvania than te govern the great order at the head of whiet he is. @ Vermont is not very lively place, but the prohibitionists there are awake. A mass convention to nominate a full ticket will be held at Burlington the 21st. All, including women, are invited who stand ready to affirm that prohibition can be widely and finally effective only through a political party il the State and nation whose prime purpose if to make prohibition fact, and who pledge their support to the principles of that party and the nominees they may present.
 A Utica naturalist says that song birds in that region are fast disappearing. The wren is almost unknown, the bobolink, that for merly abounded on the Mohawk meadows, is disappearing rapidly, while bluebirds, vel lowbirds, orioles and even weoapsckers, highhoes and crows are becoming scarce As a consequence, he says, fruit trees and all sorts of vegetation are suffering from the ravages of insects. Pot hunters and bird nesting boys are said to account for the dis appearance of the birds
 Mr. Charles Booth has recently made an analysis of the occupations of the people of Great Britain, and the results of his work are interesting. He finds, for instance, that a very great falling of, equal to 26 per cent, has been made in the last thirty years in the number of those employed in agricultural labor. This change he holds chiefly due to the improved systems of land culture, which make less and less demand upon the physical strength of man. Another change is the de- cline in the number of women employed in manufacturing pursuits, and the increase in the proportionate number of that sex who find employment in domestic service, teach ing and other lighter classes of work. One surprising change is the decrease in the num- Der. having decreased from "A, 900 in 1851 to 56, ,000 in 1881, while in the interval the population had risen from IS, ,000, 900 to 26,- 900, ,00O.
