SENATOR VOORHEES, on Civil SER.
VICE REFoRM.-During the debate in
the Senate on the Edmunds resolu-
tions regarding removals from Office,
Senator Daniel W. Voorhees,, OF Indi-
ana, made a powerful speech in sup
port OF the President. He also dealt
some heavy blows at the law to reform
the Civil Service. Below we give a
few extracts from the speech, and
commend them to the careful atten.
tion of our readers:
Sir, indorse the President most
fully and emphatically on the subject
Of removals or suspensions as far as he
has gone, and how gladly would | in
dorse him could he see his way clear
60 90 thousand leagues further. 1t
seems to me the country will laugh
with derision in the face of the ma
lority OF this Senate in its attempt TO
condemn the President for his exer-
else of the power Of removal. Demo-
Gratis might complain, were they not
conscious of the grave embarrassments
surrounding the present administra-
ton when it came into power. We
might point to these Departments and
to the Federal offices all over the land
and declare that far too much for
beaTance had been shown to those who
never extended any to their adverse
ries. In round numbers there are
three thousand six hundred people in
official station in the Interior Depart
nent alone There have been less
than four hundred changes, including
the able and faithful Secretary him-
self, and the principal positions next
10 him.
With the exception OF forty or fifty
such changes at the heads OF bureaus
and divisions. nearly all the appoint
ments in the Department under the
present administration have been IN
the land and Indian service on the
frontier and for messengers, watchmen
and the like. The great body of the
force, more than thirty-two hundred
III number, embracing nearly all the
payroll Of any value, is still a solid
Republican political corps, sympa-
thIzing with the success ottheir own
party and desiring and laboring for
the overthrow Of the party under /
which they hold etfice. Substantially I
the same state of facts exists in eyery
other Department Of the Government.
1t Il safe and moderate TO say that.
with the exception perhaps Of fourth.
class postmasters. there are ten Re.

erat IN the public service. l have no
hesitation in declaring, as far as my
voice will reach, that such a state Of

ANNAPOLIS, April 4, 1886.
Dear Beacon TO morrow at II the
Maryland Legislature adiourns sine
die. It has done nothing that can be
counted very bad, but yet the people
and delegates will be thankful that it
is over.
The most exciting time that the
House has seen this session was On
Friday last. The bill to place the sp-
pointing power of the School Commits
sioners in the counties Of the State
in the hands. Of the Governor
was under consideration The vote
TO concur in Senate amendment
was IL to 40. DR.. Snowden, Of
Prince George fearing, that consti-
tutional majority could not be obtained
for the bill, moved to reconsider the
vote and conference committee was
then appointed. Owing to opposition
OF your Senator the committee report
ed to exclude St. Mary's and the coun-
ties which will come under the new
law. are Charles, Prince George
Montgomery, Frederick and Caroline.
Your delegates made the best possible
fight to have St Mary's included but
failed to secure their point. Senator
Colton's reason for Directing to St.
Mary's being included is understood
to have been due to the fact, that, in
his opinion the law was special and
p&rtizan and that he had received let
ter from several teachers Directing to
it.
Mr.. G. Douglass Carpenter has been
appointed by the Governor as magis-
trate for the 18th election district and
confirmed by the Senate.
The division line will still remain
in the Patuxent River and Calvert
county oystermen will have to remain
on their own side or st. Mary's men
must know the reason why.
There will be no new assessment law
this session and consequently no as

Mr.. Jno. A. Camalier and r. A.

IN MEMORIAM.

By the death of Dr.. RICHARD GorGH
the community in which he lived has lost
nfost- 1mblc gentleman, a worthy and
upright citizen and an honest man. No
one who knew him can deny TO his char
acter these attributes. Modest and retiring,
the memory of his worth will be confined
TO the circle of his immediate acuuaintances
and associates, and he never aspired 10 go
beyond. Within his circle he had many
warm friends whose friendship was recip-
rocated by an ardent and singularly confid-
ing heat He was considered an excellent
physician and as such was extremely prompt
and attentive To the calls for his services
and had the merit of being very successful
in his practice, and his loss in that capaci-
ty will be much felt by all who received
his effectual remedies and kind attention.
Many neighbors followed his remains to the
grave. and while all were sorrowful, the ex-
pressions OF the many poor would indicate
that they had lost a friend indeed whom
they especially will miss and for whom
they greatly grieve. 1t is unnecessary to say
that in his home circle such man was
esteemed and Leloved. His loving sisters
and brother will long recollect the worth of
the man and the kind, heartfelt unselfish
affection of devoted brother. B.
