THE PRESIDENT AND BENATE. Tho futuroe of Civil-Service reform is ox- coedingly precarious, In the absenco of a law governing tho management of the publio sorvice, and in tho presence of a bad custom of fifty years' growth sanctioning the use of patronago for partisan advantage and per- sonal proferment, President Haves' predis. position to roform bad little to rest upon but Lis own personal efforts, During tho Congrossional recoss ho was freo to proceed o3 his judgment dictated, and bo had the moral support of a popular confidence in his good intentions, As a rule, the public ne- cepted his removals and appointments as the best that could bo mado in the interest of reform, 1lad ho found o similar sontiment in Congross whon {t assembled, the progress of reforn would have boen easy and steady. On the contrary, there is but o handful of men in Congrass who are disposed to givo tho President active support in ocarryiug out. the profosajons in behalf of reform which were mado by both parties in the campaign preceding Lis elgction.
