THE INTERIO: &Special Dispatch to The Fridune. WASHINGTON, D. ., March 16.—The crowds of people who throng the White-House and Ex- ecutive Departmeuts make it almost impossible to transact any but the important business. As soon as the Senate adjourns, and the President and bis Cabinet. have time to give their atten- tion to the detalls of some of the proposed reforms, the policy of the Administrationwill be better understood than it is now. In themean- time certain things have been. decided upon, and are beginning to be pretty well understood by those most interested. For instance, Secré- tary Schurz has already assured the clerks in his Department that 1o removals will be wade except for cause, unless a reduction of the force in some of the burcaus shall be found necessary Inthat case thosc least competent will be se- lected for dismissal. ANOTHER FEATURE of the administration of the Interior Depart- meat will be that no promotions will be made except for merit. Letters of recommendation and political influence are not to be considered. Officers of the Department know already what the records of the clerks and other employes are. . If they arc good, it is intended to give their services recognition, as occasion may ar- rive, on the score of merit. If they are bad, political influcnce will help them nelther to hold their place nor to get better ones. - Letters and recommendations will not be reccived. No va- cancies now exist. Asystem of Civil-Service rules somewhat similar to those establisticd by the Civil Service a few years ago will soon b pre- pared and put in force in the Interior Depart- ment. The execution of these rules will be in- trusted in the hands of persons really interested in their success, and by 'means df them the Secretary hopes gradually to RAISE THE STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE of the public service in his Department. ‘The other members of the Cabinet have not, it is believed, a definite idea of the reform in the Civil Service which they will attempt, but it isthePresident’s intention that similar principles ehall prevail not only in all of the Departments here in Washington, but in the public service throughout the country. The proposed reforms will Dbe carried on under: the personal super- vision' of the heads of the Departments to which the branches in which they are attempted arc subordinate, and the President will relieve him- self of much uonecessary annoyance by leaving the manzgement of patronuge ALMOST ENTIKELY To 1115 CABINET instead of undertaking to decide upon the clalins of rival candidates himself. Of course all thepiresentappointments will zoto the Exccu- tive Mansion for approval. and there becancelled ifgood reasonisshown inany case. Aninstanceol this kind oceurred yesterday, when the Attorney General sent to the White House the name of a cundidate for the United States Marshalship in onc of the Southern States, whom the Presi- dent bad been “informed would not be accepta- ble to the peopie. It did not go the Senate. Some general sugzestions for the improvement of the Civil Service, prepared by Secretaries Evarts and Schurz at the request of the Presi- dent, will be submitted at an early mecting of the Cabinet. TRUST AND PROFIT. OFFICIAT ATPOINTMENTS AND RECOMSENDA- TIONS. &Speciat Dispatch to The Tribune. WAsBINGTON, D. U., March 16.—The spooint- ment of Jesse Hildrup to be Marshal for the Northera District of Illinois is *a success for Scnator Oglesby against the field. Oglesby had set lus heart upon this appointment, and as a vacancy existed, and there was no intention of reappointing Ben Campbell, the President doubtless thought that e would favor Ogleshy's recommendation. In doing this, of course, the {friends of Washburn, McDowell, Gilbert, and Robert Ingersoll himself, arc much disappoint- ed. . ¢4 As the President informed the Scnate to-day that he bas no further communication to mske, it is supposed there will be . NO FURTHER CHANGE at present in Chicago otlices. The greater por- tion of the minor appointments made were ra- appoiutments of the present officers. In Nebraska the new Senator, Saunders, has suc- ceeded in filling some of the vacancies in Hitch- cock’s appointments, notably that ot the Omaha Post-Oftice, which Yost has held for many years. Hale succeeds the latter. Orlando H. Merwin, appointea to the Evans- ton oflice, is o student of the college therc. Clifford, the present incumbent, did not resign until tais morning. e could bave retained the position if he had desired it. . Clark Carr, in accordance with the principles of Civil-Service Reform, is recommissioned Post- master at Galesburg, where he has been since Lincoln appointed him. ONE INCIDENT concected with the appointment of the Mar- shal for the Northern District of Illinois de- Eerves to be recorded as showing that the Hayes Administration will not be ouc of nepotism. Mr. John Stittwell, of Livingston County, was ore of the unsuccessful candidates for this of- fice. He was admitted to a private audience with the President, and presented his papers. ‘The President looked them atl carefully through, ‘and tnen, lobking-Stillwell full in the face, said, “* Your vapers.are unexeeptionable. There is nothing in your record which does not seem to show that you are fully qualified for the po- sition; but there is one insuperable objection to your appointment to any Federal oftice, that is yourwife isa favorite cousin of Mrs. Hayes.” Stillwell left the Presidential office convinced, at Tast, of the fact which ‘many thought would" insure his appointment had RENDERED HIS DEFEAT INEVITABLE. In the long list of nominations to-day there was " not’ a sibgle ' foreizm appointment. It is now said there will . be no ' foreign appointments for the present, and that the Secretary of State will:'wait until after !| and is not acceptable to the officials or the adjournment of the extra session, and pos- sibly until after the Sonthern policy s faicly in- augurated, before attempting the revision ot the foreign list. As an cxtra session now seems fn- cvitable, it {s quitc possible that no forcign ap- pointments, unless vacancies should occur, will be made before Congress again assembles. ln the interval between now ana the extra session, however, it is said that nearly 2,000 offices A WILL BECOME VACANT. . + It will be the poticy of the Administration to carefully cxamine the qualifications of every ap- plicant before filling onc of these vacancies. -To do this time is required, which is not possible during the executive session. PROMINENT NOMINATIONS. . Of the nominations made to-day that of Fred- erick Seward, to be Assistant Secretaryof State, and of Tyner, to he First Assistant Postmaster- General, were confirmed without reference. The nomination of Waldron to be Marshal of the Western District of Tenoessee is opposed by - some ot the Tennessec Reoublicans. - They say that his appointment presagres no good to the Republican cause. Waldron is a_Protestant Irishman, and a particular (rlend of Postmaster- General Key. He has cotered heartily into Ilaycs' Southern policy, isa man of large po- litfcal experience, and I} is expected of him that he will do cflicicnt. service in thedirection of the new Southern policy. AT TUE CABINET MEETING to-day the heads of departments reported all cases where appointments must be made under the Tenure-of-Office act before the Scnate ad- Journs, ahd from among those recommended a list was tilled and the names sent to the Senate. Lu contested cascs, where the facts necessary to a free understanding of the case could not be ascertained, the matter was allowed to o over. The President, with this list, scot & note that he should have no further business to lay beforc the Senate. 1Lii the important matter of filling the vacaney on the Supreme Bench, the case received much - attention, and it was decided that it could be filled during the recess. The President with his Cabinet. will, as soon as the Senate’ adjourns, address themselves to examining all changes to be made fn_important oftices, and as deliberate action can be taken in each casc, it is felt that the intevests of the pub- lic servico can be more carefully guarded than if it was ncccssary to hasten over the gruund rapidly in order not to detuin a Scnate already much fatigued with the tedious contest of the last session.

There was a general conversation in the Cabi- net to-day regarding the Civil-Service, but no rules have been definitely adopted. It is given ont, however, that they will embody a denunci- ation of Congressional interference in executive appointments and the removal of competent oftivials to further the political ends of any party. The qualifications for office are to be rood moral character, ability, and_the require- ment that office-holders shall discharge their functions with an_eye single to the public good. The assessment of office-holders for political purposes is to be prohibited. FRED DOUGLASS! OPPQSITION TO HIS CONFIRMATION. Special Dispatch to The Tridune. Wasnixgron, D. C., March i6.—The opposi- tion to the appointment of Fred Dougiass as United States Marshal for this District has not relaxed, but to-night his confirmation seems more probable.than it did last night- The caste fecling against him is very strong on the part of the old Bourbon slaveholding element of the Dis- trict, and is sbared by a good many Republicans. But the arguments in favor of confirmation to- day bave been to the effect that Hayes’ South- ern policy Is somewhat involved in the confirma- tion or rejection of Douglass. On this account a pumber of the Southern Democratic Senators have intimated that they ehould vote for Douglass’ confirmation. In any event, if he is confirmicd, he will owe it to Democratic votes, and if he is rejected the Democratic party CANNOT ESCAPE TIIE RESPONSIBILITY for it, as they have a numerical majority of the Senate to-day, and will bave until the end of the Executive session. Gov. Warmoth, of Louisi- ana, a member of the Packard Legislatare, now bere, says that the defeat of Douglass would be a serious blow to Hayes' Southern policy, and that its effect .upou the colored men South would be alnost incaleulable. He predicts that if Douglass shall be defeated there willuot e a colored Representative in the Nicholls Leg- islature two days after the fact becomes known in New Orleans. President Hayes has emphat- ically declared that he SHALL NOT WITHDRAW THE SOMINATION except at the request of Dougless himself. Some of the Southern Democrats have said that if the Senate should refuse to contirm Douglass the volored men South micht very properly make the inquiry: ** What colored men would the Senate confirm?”’ The question is one of color on one side and of ceste on the other. 1t is an emotional onme. Apart from both these considerations; Douglass’ nomination is opposed FOR BUSINE3S REASONS. He certainly is nota good business man, has not much familiarity with the duties of the position 0 ar with whom he will have to deal. He is not a prac- ‘tical executive man, and is unfitted by reason of and physical.condition to perform the active fitflu :1 :Lhe position. It is further urged Inst him that he has been conspicuously iden- fi‘ed with-the' old District' Ring, and in a public ggeech ‘made himself a special advocate of Boss -+, A CURIOUS iNCIDENT, in connectfon with the nomination is that Co-' lumbus Alexander,a noted opponent of the Dis- trict Rinz,and the most zealous of the old Bonr- bon Democrats here, voluntarily appeared in court this morning and -tendered himself as security on Douzlass’ bond. In reply to o ques- ton whether or not be was In earncst, he said, Yes, Iam. Idesiretobe consistent. Itis 4 lecitimate result of the campaizn, and Iwiil go on his bond to show tifat I acee, e e pt the situation DOTGLASS. - T0 the Western Assoctated Press. . WasaiNGToN, D. C., March 16.—In excen- tive session to-day, Mr. Dorsey, the Chairman of the Comniittec on the District of Columbla, re- Porud Dback the nomination of Frederick Doug- lass to be Marshal of the District with the rec- ommeudation that it he confirmed. One objec- tion being made to its immediate consiaeration, it went over under the rule until to-morrow. THE SOUTII. ERESIDEST MIAYES’ SOUTHERN POLICY. Special Dispaten to The Tribue. Wasmisaros, D. (., March i6.—The Presi- dent's Southern policy, as ncarly as it has beeh defincd, scems to have becnthis: The with- drawal of troops from the Statc Capitals in Louisiana and South Carolina to their barracks, and for the prescnt complote non-intervention and non-recognition of either of the organiza- tions pretending to be the legal*Government, and the representatives of Nicholls, have al- ready guarantecd that in that event there will beno armed demonstration against the Pack- ard: Government, no attempt to dispossess it of the Statc-House, andno attempt to over- turn the Packara Government except through the courts and the process of impoverishment from non-payment of taxes. If the pledges of the Soutbern leaders go for anything, should the President decide upon this policy, there will be NO VIOLENT PROCEEDINGS or disorder subsequent to the withdrawal of the troops. . A WORD FOR NICHOLLS. % Representative Levy, of Louisiana, received a dispateh from holls this evening, stating that in one district the Nicholls officers collect- ©d $20,000 in taxes to-day, and that the Nicholls warrants hiave gone up to 75 cents.

New Yorx, March 16.—Regarding the with- drawal ‘of troops fromt South Carolina and Louisiana, the Zimes says: *If the first step in the Southern policy of President Hayes be a3 stated in our Washington dispatches, the imme- diate withdrawal of United States troops from South Carolina and Louisiana, he is on the point of making a serious blunder. No onc will disputc that the withérawal of the : troops 18 o necessary part of any plan that may be devised for the restoration of order and stable Government 1u these States, but such an act shoutd follow, not precede, the making of some plan of confer- cnce and settiement. 1t is hardly possible that any adjustment of the clafms of the rival com- batants for State officers should airesdy have been effected], cither at Columbia or New Or- leans, and, failing that, it is not difficult to foresce the kind “of settlement which will fol- low the abandonment * of the Chamberlain and Packard zovernments to the tender mercies of their opponents. The troops cannot be with- drawn at the present juncture without THE IMPLIED ADMISSION that they were sent, iu the first_instance, for a totally indefensible purpose, and retained with- out any obvious necessity. Such an opinloxr is certainly not that of a vast majority of the Ie- publican party, and it will be nothing short of a national misfortune should the President fail to carry that majority along with him. Ic has so great a work to do, and he has so nobly began it, that we trust there arc limitations and conditions attached to the reported stroke of volicy which will render it less iikely than it seems to clicit the disapproval of the intelligent “Tdv]vm'fibm”z ‘majority of tue Northern peo- ple.’ 0oxIo. THP DEMOCRATS. Special Dispatch to The Tridune. CoLuuBuY,,0., March 16.—Democratic mem- bers of the General Assembly will hold a can- cus the first of next week for the purpose of nomitating a candidate for the United States Senate. There wili be nothing to do but tender 2 complimentary vote. The Hon. George H. Pendleton will doubtless receive the honor, although the Democrats are at sea, and have not fully arrived at any definite conclusion as to the course they will pursue. As the caucus will only go through the formal routine there is no possibility of a wrangle as to whom the compli- ment shall be conferred on. In relation to the ndmnination for Governor on the Dem- ocratic side at the coming Convention, some of the old wheel-horses are again advocat- ing the name of ex-Gov. Allen, claiming thathe is the only man that has been able to break tne Republican ranks in Ohio during the past twen- ty years. The mere mention of again bringing Dim into public life s ridiculed by & majority of the Democrats, but therc s cvery reason to be- lieve that Mr. Allen would AGAIN “RisE up” and accept the nomination were it tendered him. The most prominent. names mentioned thns far for candidates are Gen. Durbin Ward and the Hon. George L. Converse. Present indications are that the latter gzentleman will be the nomi- nce. STANLEY MATTHEWS, who has just carried off the Senatorial honors in the Republican caucus of the Ohio Legisia- ture, is one of the most eminent of the sons of his State, which is_hizh praise when the names of Ohioans that are now historic are considered. He was early enlisted in the anti-slavery cause, and for a time cdited a paper at Cincinnati, with which the name of SALNON P. CHASE was_connected. [le supported Samuel Lewis tor Governor, but_some vears later surprised the friends of hisfluflth by accepting the office of United States District Attorney under James Buchanan. When the War broke out in 1561, he was found on the rizht side, and in a conve: sation with Rutherford B. Haves, one day, e; pressed adesire to 2o into the military service, On the 7th of June, 1861, he was commissioned Lieutenant-Colonel of the Twenty-third Ohio. The officers werc: Colonel, W. S. Rosecrans; Licatenant Colonel, -Stanley Matthews; Major, R. B. Hayes. Rosccrans beingz promoted, Scam- mon took his place as Colonel. On the 23d of October of the same year Matthews was .COMMISSIONED COLONEL OF THE FIFTY-FIRST L with which he rcmnincfl’ dntil April 14, 1863, when he resigned and returncd to the practice of the law. With the Twenty-third Regiment Col. Matthews scrved in West Virginia, and was at Rich 3lountain and Carnifex Ferry. With the Fifty-first Regiment he served in Keatucky and Tennessee.—commanding a brizade at Dob- son’s Ferry (Stonc _River), where he defeated Wheeler’s Rebel calvary. The Fifty-first B:Fl— ment took gullant part in the su! uent battles of Stone River, Murfreesboro, Chickmauga, and Lookout Mountaiu. = COL.

BLAINE’'S HOME ORGAN BITTERLY ATTACKS THE NEW ADMINISTRATION AND CABINET. Dispatch (o Cincinnat Gazetse. 2 WASHINGTOS. D. C., March 14.—There is con- siderable talk herc over the arrival of the Ban- gor Whig, the recornized Maine organ of Mr. Blaine, with an article on the Hayes Cablneilln d- which there is a bitter attack on the new ministration. The article appears to have been written before it was known that the Senate factlon would not prevail against the Presideut., %Wc are all usterly disappolnted,” says tho ig, “in the hope that the ramors would prove to have been unjust to President Hayes, and that ne would be too ous to be i~ fluenced by political visionaries, and too con- scientious to jgnore obligations to the grea: party which did battle for him and clected i as the representative of its principles.” Then it- goes on to lament tho President's fatvity in bdlevlnxg that he can build up & personal party. It s capecially ‘severe on Schurz and Key, but it has no_compBments for any of the appointees, except Mr. Sherman; and it sadly notes the fact that the seven uicn represent four Democratic and only three Re- ublican States. It closes—as' follows:--+ W ave called it the Hayes Cabinet, becatsc it is obviously not a Cabinet representativeMof the great Republican party.

The Character and Reputation of Two Re- spectable Citizens of New York Niru- lently Assailed—Strong Probubility of Cor spiracy. Special Dispatch to The Tribune. New Yorr, March 16.—Some excitement was cavsed to-day by the arrest of Washington J. Butler, a wealthy and well-known lawyer, and Dr. Albert S. Newcomb, a Fqrty-second street physician, on charze of abortion. The com- plaint was made ‘by John Boland, & private detectlve, who admitted that he was employed by a life-insurance company against which Mr. Batler had a suit pending. Boland charged that a colored woman named Mary Gilmors had given birth toa child of which" Butler was the father; that Butler had procured the services of Dr. Newcomb, who strangled the chila, and that this could be proven by Sallie Cary, who acted a8 purse. The nurse told a different story, not having been present a¢ the birth. Dr. New- comb claimed to bave sgimply done his professnal duty, and said he de- livered the woman of a stili-born babe, afterwards reporting the same to the Board of Health as by law obliged. . Mr. Butler, who is widely known in thé legal profession, stigma- tizes the charge asa trumped-up affair, either to blackmail him or to ruin his character in the community. He says he took a prominent part: in suits against o Life-Insurance Company in this clty, and there is now pending an action against this Company involving over $500,000, fn which he appesrs as one of the titls. The Directors of the Company alluded to had resolved to rnin_ him, snd he. belleves had employed Boland to watch him. In to Mrs. Gilmore, lie sald the woman had been at intervals employed by him asa laundress, and, hearing that she was sick and penniless, he requested Dr. Newcomb to attend her, and called at her house several times to as- certain. bow she was getting along. He aenied. in the most positive terms that t] WAS an improper intimacy between him and Mrs. Gil- more. The Justice allowed the parties to de- part on their parole to appearif called upon.. :The general opinion is favarable to the lawyer. Life insurance companies here are not in the best odor at present. —————— NEW ROUTE TO THE BLACK HILLS. Spectal Dispatch so The Tribune.
