AN ADVERSE KEPORT ON THE BILL TO PROHIBIT THEIR REMOVAL, ‘The House Committee on Reform tn the clvil ser- vice this morning had under consideration the bill Introduced last December by Hon. J.D. Taylor, “Yo prohibit the removal from the ctvil service of any honorably sailor or marine, or the widow or dependent relative of any deceased Union soldier, sailor or marine,” and or- deved it to be reported adversely. Mr. Mutchier, chairman of the committee, has prepared the fol ing report: “Phe bill under consideration prohibits the re- Tmoyal by the Bresident, or any_of or is subordinates, SR Wie erate ener any : nitéd States, who ‘between Aprif 19th, 1961. and April 18th, 1865, served in the Union army or navy OF manne corps, and has been honorably dis- a 1 OF the Widow or dependent relative of any lich devensed soldier, salloror marine, except tor habitual drunkenness, grossly immoral conduct, a felony, or misdemeanor. ‘The bill goes further in its control of the power of removal trom office than the original tenure of office act, tn that the power of removal in the cases restricted by the bill could not be exercised even Jointly by the President and the Senate. Believing that the power of removal from office, wisely exer- cised, 18 necessary to enable the Executive to fulfill the constitutional duty of administering the laws, your committee are of the opinion that any legisla: Won which so restricts that power is unconstitu- tonal and inexpedient. Should the Executive abuse the power of removal, or use it for unworthy Purposes, the remeay 13 with the people, or with the House and Senate by impeachment. But should the legislative branch, by restrictions upon appoint- ments and removals, so bind the hands of the EX- ecutive as ly to take from it the power of administering the laws, the constitutional functions Of the Executive to see’ that the laws be faithful executed, Would be seriously impeded, for, in suc! case, the admintstration‘of the laws mllght fall into the hands of subordinates for whose appointment the Executive was in no way responsible, and who might have become unworthy or inefficient while in office. Under the provisions of the bill a Secretary of State whose Ideas of foreign policy might be totally ‘opposite to those of the Executive must be retained. by him, and cis although the Senate should con- cur in the propriety of appointing another in his Place. Under existing statutes preference in ap- Polntinent ie given to many of this class of persons named in the bill. and the purposes of those stat utes Would, if liberally construed, be carried out by Tetaining such persons in office, when thelr gen- eral fitness was apparent, or when the proper objects of the Executive could best be carried out by go doing. But to provide that the Executive shal retain in office any person when he may think that some other person Js better fitted to admin- ister the trust, is in our opinion unwise and un- constitutional. Public office must be regarded as A trust, and not as a mere reward for past ser- vi however meritorious, and present usefulness should be the test in the incumbent.” Civil Service Commissioner Thoman’s Accounts, ALI, FOUND CORRECT AS FAR AS AUDITED. At the Treasury department it is stated thet Civil Service Commissioner Thoman’s accounts for the quarter ending June 30th, are now upon the Gesk of the proper accounting officer in the first controller’s office, but have not yet been examined on account of unusual pressure of business, and those for the quarter en ng September goth, have not yet been received by the first controller from the auditor. It is further stated that Judge Tho- man started his accounts in a business-like way, and continued to account for all expenditures in thoroughly satisfactory manner. ‘The amount of money annually disbursed by Judge Thoman is about $26,000, of which amount $19,000 Is pald in regular salaries Four thousand dollars is the amount allowed for traveling expenses, and $3,000 for furniture, stationery repairs, &., 80 that only $7,000 1s avaflable for discretionary expenses, and these arc always accompanied by the required re- celpts. ——__..-_____ Court-Martial Hours. THE CURIOUS REASON WHY THE COURTS ARE OBLIGED TO ADJOURN AT THREE O'CLOCK. Anamendment tothe army appropriation bill recently passed by the House chang s the present Jaw, which requires courts-martial to adjourn at 8 pre dally owe in time of war, soas to allow che court to fix its own hours. The law as it stands imposes a great burden on offlvers who are de- led on a court-martial and are obliged when away from home to pay their expenses without extra compensation. Col. Asa Bird Gardiner, judge advocate of the Swaim court-martial, in a letter to a member of the House of Repres:ntaily gives the following curious and interesting sta! Ment as to the original reason for fixing the limit Of dally sessions at 3 p.m: “This limitation has come tnto our statutes from the British articles of war, in forces in 1775, which our Continental Congress adopted for our army.
