The General is considerably changed

old, personal friend of General Lee,
and besides, the latter having lived in
the vicinity of Lexington many years,
takes q warm interest in Washing
ton aud Lee University.
Speaking of Havana, General Lee
said it was in various ways very good
place to live 10. He liked it. and said
that, although the yellow fever ragged
there, he was not at all afraid of it. The
day he left there were twenty. one
deaths from the disease, all but one OF
whom were of Spanish soldiers.

AS ANNOUNCED in yesterdays IA
zsrrE, the court in Washington before
which the case of a man wi
had been removed from office
contrary to the civil service rules
came up, decided that though
the President has the power to MAKE
rules for the civil service, ne also has
the mower to disregard those rules when
50 disposed. In other words, that No
can observe the rules he makes when
he wants to, exclude and prevent tie
anpointment of democrats, and need Dot
observe them when he desires to ad-
NIT or retain republicans. All reason
able people have long since realized
the utter incompatibility of the civil
service law and rules with free and
eoual institutions, and have oppos'
ed the continuance of the whole ar
rant and provoking humbug. and now
aU. S. court has rendered decision
TO the same effect. The democratic ns-
,ional convention declared against the
hypocritical fraud, and though the ie-
nnb,ican convention declared for it, tie
republican Copgr, 8, should, and prooa
bly will, repeal it at its next session.
