WASHINGTON l.. w O0C0mper 20
An extraordinary phase of the solid south
presents itself. It confronts the president
elect and the candidates for speaker with a
condition, or rather several conditions.
There will be eighteen southern republicans
in the next house, that is counting Missouri
and Maryland as southern, and they count
big in the present arrangement. These
eighteen members-elect are standing to-
oether. Their front stretches from Mary
land through the Virginias, Tennessee and
kentucky to Missouri. Not weak spot ap-
pears in the line. These southern reSubli-
cans are as solid as their states were In No
yember. If the combination holds-and so
far il has shown wonderful vitality-it will
WELD q great influence after the 4th OF
March. The first test of its coheslveness
came wheu Mahone's friends attempted to
swing the whole southern republican infi7-
ence to his support for the cabinet. The
meeting called here was composed mostly
of Mahone's friend, but the southern MEM
bers elect controlled its action and pre-
vented Endorsement of anybody. This viii
call upon General Harrison at the proper
time with their united request for the re.
cognition of the south in the cabinet, but
they will not ask the appointment OF any
particular person. In this way the solid
eighteen smooth ra;her than roughen the
way of the president-elect to the selection
of his southern cabinet officers.
But with the candidates foI speaker the
eighteen are pursuing different tactics.
understanding
definite in uetail. Eighteen votes castsol-
idly mean much in such speakersh1p con-
test as il going on now. 1t may also be said
that these southern republicans can dictate
who will be speaker If they hold together.
The candidates know this and they are
dealing very considerably with 1.-THE Little
Solid South" rs one of them has named the
combination. So far as can be learned the
eighteen are not asking too much. They
want one of the fonr principal offices In the
organization of the house and they want
certain committee appointments. The Of
fee they ask is that of doorkeeper. The
committee appointments they desire are
not go important in general estimation as
they are important to the section which the
eighteen represent. There seems no good
reason why the organization of southern re-
publicans should not hold together and if 1t
doesit will get about all it Is asking Tor.
The eighteen have good leadership. Nc
Comas of Maryland, Wade of Missouri and
Houk of Tennessee are not only old mem
bers bnt shrewd managers. If they can
can make the new members-elect appreciate
the situation as they themselves see it.
then the eighteen will remain solid, not only
until after the house is organized, but after
ward, and they will be able to secure more
legislation and more patronage than they
would if scattered. Sectionalism is not
very good thing, but it is necessary to some
extent for self-protectlon.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Complaints hav-

against the action of the surveyor of Gus

But suddenly tho room growed stiIl,
While Gods white sunshine seemed ter an

And mingled with her own they shed

wAsHiNGToN, Oct. 1S.-In complains
with the pres dents request, Solicitor
General Chapman has rendered an opin-
ion upon u question submitted by the civil
service commissioners. In April j. NJ.
Taylor was appointed i'm the regular way
- railway postal clerk. Taylor, however,.
did not take the oath of office until May.
1850. The time when the rule to include
the railway mail service should go into
effect having been extended from March
II to- May I. ths. question came up W neither
Taylor should not have been subject to
civil service examination. The solicitor
gene raj finds that the fact that lay ior did
not take the oath of office until after May
1 is inmaterial upon the question OF his
right to hold the office to which he WAS ap-
pointed. Ii is understood that large
number of appointments were made to
the railway mail service just prior To May
I. and i'm % large percentage OF these caaeo
the appointecs were, owing to the short
ness Of time, unable to take the necessary
oath which fact il has been contended
rendered. their appointment void. The
