CENSUS OFFICE EMPLOYEES.
Why MIR. Porter Thinks They Do Not
Come Under the Civil Service Law.

The superintendent of the census, Mr.. Por-
ter, returned to the city to-day. His attention
was called this morning by STAR reporter to
the letter addressed by the civil service COM
missioners to the President In this letter they
recommend that the appointments of census
office employees be made through the commits
sion, and they add that preference can be given
to the employees of the last census
THE INTENTION OF CONGRESS-
Mr.. Porter said that he knew that it was the
intcltion Of the trainers of the law not to place
the census officers under the civil-service law.
The principal reason for this, he said, was that
the great bulk Of the census employees were
employed for a very short period, and it was
concluded that it would not be right to bring
people from distant points of the country to
this city for a service lasting probably not
more than six months. Under the civil-seryice
CON mission the rules in regard to state
quotas would OF course have to be observed.
Then again, the appointment Of the four or
five hundred special agents was made, as a
rule. from the enumerators who had shown
ability and energy. The enumerators were
employed for only a-few days, and their ap-
pointment as special agents extended their SER
vice to several months.
As TO THE APPOINTMENT OF EXPERTS
and high-grade clerks, Mr.. Porter said that of
the twenty-five decided upon twenty had been
engaged in the last census. Another ex-em-
ploye had been selected, but he had declined
to serve. These men, he said, had been sought
out and urged to take the places and in this
way their valuable assistance had been OBJ
tanned. He thought that they would not have
accepted under the usual certifcation from the
civil-service commission.
The question, Mr.. Porter said, would be con-
sidered by Secretary Noble, but from his
| standpoint he did not see any advantage to be
gained by appointing the employees of the GEN.
| sus Office through the civil-service commission.
The census office had special work TO do in q
certain time, and he was Of the opinion that
the trainers of the law we're right in deciding
that L ought not to be placed under the same
conditions a. the permanent executive ofacsG

IN REPLY TO DIR. CHILDs.
a Letter from MIR. Armstrong, Princi-
pal Of the Hampton School.

BosToN, June l9.-S c. Armstrong, princi-
pal of the Hampton school has written a letter
in reference to the Washington dispatch in
Tuesdays papers rejecting on the treatment Of
Indians at the Hampton school, and OF the
ability of Gen. T.. Whittlesey aud Mr.. A.
h. Smiley. both of the board of In-
dian commissioners TO make fair report on

that a certain guard-house for refractory In-
dlans was a disgrace to civilization for lack Of
room. of ventilation. and because of offensive
odors, Mr.. Armstrong says: passed a night in

ABOUT BAD FOOD.
Regarding the reported bad quality OF food
given the Indians. he says: Several months be-

partly led to that, and from February. 1887. TO
June. 1889, nearly two years and a half. there
has been but one Indian death at the school out
of its attendance of one hundred and forty
western pupils. The death rate at Carlisle
school has been in that time very much larger,
but 1t is no fault of the school or its manage

His r. etention in Ofice-Letters and
Petitions Rsceived-The Chief Has
Not Made Up His Mind.

Chief of Police William Y. Swigget1's
resignation last evening in the following
letter;
MAYORS OFy1cE.
WILMINGTON, Del, Nov. 10, 1889.
WILLIAM Y. SwIGGETT, ESQ, High Con-
stable, ETC.
DEAR SIR: duly received your letter
of November 12 rendering your resigna-
tion of the office of high constable, and
have given it the nest careful consicera-
tion. The conclusion | have reached is.
that for me to accept it would not be for
the interest of the city, and / therefore
request you to withdraw it and TO con-
tinue the discharge of your duties.
1t is right that you should know that
since the publication of your letter OF
resignation l have received such assur-
ances of confidence in you, and OF a gen
eral desire for your continuance in Office,
as to indicate clearly that in my deter
mination | am fully sustained by our
citizens generally.
The check enclosed in your letter to me
have transmitted to the Council.
Yours very truly,
AUSTIN HARRINGTON, Mayor.
Mayor Harrington said this morning
that he had concluded to retain Mr.
Swiggett in Office, IL possible, because in
his Judgment he considered that the best
s..t - IA a.. Al T.,
had considered also the fact that
public sentiment, expressed by letters
and petitions received by him from
prominent men, desired Mr.. Swiggett to
be continued in office The letters were
from Jones & Co, William Bush & Co.,
Joseph L. Carpenter, Jr., Job
H. jackson and others. Mr..
Harrington declined to make them pub
lie this morning. No letters had beeu
received asking that the resignation be
accepted.
The mayor does not condone the chief S
acts, brought out by investigation, Of the
matter of meals for the prisoners, and
thinks the chief should have found out the
meaning of the law. Mayor Harrington
believes that the chief did wrong through
inadvertence and precedent, and that he
/ HAS Uhud al Jut LtoNAhuNApn R1eoA~
bic by returning the money
illegally taken. Mr.. Harrington further
said that many persons had spoken to
him on the street asking him to ask the
chief to withdraw his resignation.
A number Of gentlemen said this morn
ing that they did not think that Mr.
Swiggett's resignation was made Sc
riously; that there was no intention
to accept it from the start, anC
that the wording Of the resignation anC
the editorial in the Morning News, tn,
day il was published, was of a tenor to
invite letters such as the mayor haS
received.
Others declined TO express any opinion
as to whether they thought Mr.. Swigget
proper man to retain in office, whicl
is pretty good evidence that they did no
think him worthy to fill the position
yet they dared not express such al
opinion for fear Of incuring the enmit.
of the police.
Chief Swiggett said at noon to day
that he had not made up.his mind what h
would do in regard to Mayor Harrington
