VERY COLD COMFORT For Those Seeking Office Under Gen. Harrison. “ He Expresses Himself Against Remoy- als for Political Reasons—His Grandfather the Original Civil- Service Reformer. Washington, D. C., Jan. 15.—The republican senators and representa- tives are not giving much encourage- ment to their office secking constitu- ents. Itis gradually leaking out that President-elect Harrison ex- pressed himself very emphatically to all his visitors who broached the subject to him that the patronage of the government should not be con- sidered spoils. In this correspond- encea few days ago mention was made of the visit of a republican senator to General Harrison, and the response of the President-elect when requested to bestow the pat- ronage of his state on his visitor. Gen. Harvison said that he would remove no officials for political rea- sons; that if removals were made it would be because of the personal character of the officer. It will be remembered that a conversation be tween Harrison, Vest and Gibson was referred to, and that Gen. Har- rison declared that his grandfather was the original civil-service reform . er. The document from which the President-elect expressed himself ov the eivil-service is found ate journal of 1841. Here is a copy of the document, and it may prove of interest now: Department of State, June 5, 1841: In answer to the resolution of the senate of the 12th inst., call- ing for “any orders which may have been issued to the officers of the army and navy in regard to political offences in elections,” etc., I inclos a copy of the cireular letter addy ed under the direction of the presi- dent by this department tothe heads of the other departments, and know of no other orde: to which the reso- lution can be supposed to have ref- erence. in the sen- Dante, Wesster. (Crxcuar. ] Department of State, March 20, 1841—Sm: The President is of the opinion that it isa great abuse to bring the patronage of the general government into the conflict with the freedom of elections, and this abuse ought to be corrected wherev- er it may have been permitted to ex- ist, and to be prevented for the fu- ture. He therefore directs that in- formation be given to all officers and agente in your department of the public service, that partisan inter- ference in popular elections, whether of state officers, or officers of this government, and for whomsoever or against whomsoever it may be ex- ercised, or the payment of any con- tribution or assessment on salaries, or official compensation for party or election purposes, will be regard- ed by him as cause for removal. ~ Kt is not intended that any officer shall be restrained in the free and proper expression and maintenance of his opinion respecting public men _ or public measures, or in the exer- _ ise to the fullest degree of the con- stitutional rights of suffrage. But persons employed under the govern- ment and paid for their services out of the public treasury are not ex- pected to take an active or officious part in attempts to influence the minds or votes of others, such con- duct being deemed inconsistent with the spirits of the constitution and the duties of public agents acting under it; and the president is resolv ed, sd far as depends upon him, that while the exercise of the elective franchise by the people shall be free from undue influence of the official station and authority, opinion shall also be free among the officers and agents of the government. The president wishes it further to be announced and distinctly under- stood that, from all collecting and disbursing officers, promptitude in rendering accounts and entire punc- tuality in paying balances will be Tigorously exacted. In his opinion it is time to return in this respect to early practice of the government and to hold any degree of delinquen yon the part of those entrusted with the public money just cause of WRECKED BY AN EARTHQUAKE. immediate removal.

The wife of a prominent Ohio congressman, who has recently re- turned from a fortnight’s visit to Mrs. Harrison, was asked many par- ticulars about it at the White house yesterday as she sauntered through the east parlor. She said it was yery amusing to read the letters that were flowing in upon Mrs. Har- rison from all sorts of people and on all sorts of reform topics, begging her te do thisand not to do that, and give some assurance in advance that she positively would or would not do the other.
