Pomp “1 pave retused to sign any recommendations or to Ble avy claims or petitions tor oflice,”’ said a member of Congress here to-day, ‘‘and have told bundreds of @pplicants that nothing would be done until the Southern question was settied. But now they come ‘gain by companies and regiments, and I want to know what to do, If it is to be a grad game 2 must, I suppose, take part in it for my comstit- wenta If the President and Cabinet really mean civil service reform then 1 am ready, and shall refuse every- ody, Lf office-seeking and applications for places are to be considered at all; if the door is lef open to any onejand there !s to be & policy balf protence and obaif reality, thon T shall bave to push in with the rest. The President must burry aud make public his policy in such detail that we Congressmen shail know what to answer our sonstituents,”” The rush scems to be greatest tor consulships and places in the New York Custo House, Tneore is a story on tho street that only one consulship is at this time vacant, the and that @alary of which is only $2,500 per annum, }) Where are more than 2,500 applications for consulships on file Astothe New York Custom House, it bas ‘about 1,350 persons employed, and 1 is believed that, under a proper system, at least 600 of these could be dispensed with and the service performed better than it isuow. But Congressmen from different parts of the country complain that they are troubled with applications for places in this over- crowded establishment It 18 not geverally known that the New York Custom Bouse contains officers charged to” Members of Con- gress trom most of the States of the Union and from all parts of the Statos of New York and New Jersey. The President ought not to delay much longer some Gefinite deciaration about office sceking. If he makes Mt Known that no vacancies shall be made anywhero _ Merely to put on new men, that subordinates hall be dismissed only tor cause, that political ser- rices shail not be allowed as “claims,’? and that Dongressmen’s recommendations shall not be received 18 “dictations,” but shall be considered as those of ther respectable people and no more—such an order will cause a great number of anxious seekers for office to resume their usual industries, and relieve members et Congress of a worry which many of them would be only too happy to escape, A proper and thorough reform im the method of filling minor Places, not only hero but all over tbe country, would bave the ready support of all the best men in Congress; but to retain favor for this the system must be very rigidly maintained, because if there ts favoritism in even one instance, or if for any cause such rules are Violated, then every member of Congress demands at ‘once bis “‘share of places.” There ia another reason why some definite rules about appointments should at once be made public. Not a few competent and worthy officers, who ought to be sure of their places, are compelled to come to Washington, sometimes from long distances, to defend their possession because they Are threatened with supersedure at the request of Congressmen and other influential persons who wish to have their friends appointed, Even if the President retuses such applications for change still the attempts are made, and ‘as the officer docs not know bow far they may be successiul he ts put to the expense and anxiety to come hither and defend himself against he knows not what, Whenever it becomes an established fact by the Presideut’s express and public order tbat dismissal shall be only for cause a com- petent and faitbiul officer will attend to his duties at bis post and let the politicians do their worst, and will Bot suffer the bardsh:p of having to run on to Wasb- Amgton and baunt the ante-chambers ot Cabinet officers ‘and the White House, At ta to ve hoped, therefore, on many accounts, that the President will make less delay on this subject than be has witb the Southern matter, If ho wishes to Buceeed he will, !t 1s very evident, have to break down @t once a good many of the abuses which have gath- ered about the civil service aud which have become xed superstitions. It is gencraliy asserted hero, for instance, that according te the President’s intentions ‘an officer who has served four years faithfully may count on a reappointment, but thatif he has served eight years he “has had his sharo,” and must not complain if he is removed and anew man putin, It da bardly probable that the President holds to any such Silly policy as that which alone would subvert any » Sivil service, but in the absence of any authoritative public statement from him this absurdity 1s taken for Jaw and gospel here, und Cabinet officers and others are worried by persons who calmly and confidently set Up “claims” on the score that the present incumbent of the place they want has “had his share.” OBITUARY. CAPTAIN FREDERICK LAHRBUSH. A long and eventful lite succumbed to the inevitable master when Captain Frederick Lahrbush breathed his last mortal breath yesterday afternoon, at the dweliing of his friend, Mr. McGrath, No. 613 Third avenue, in this city. Captain Labrbush was born on March 9, 1766, and consequently celebrated the 111th anniversary of his birthday only afew days ogo, which event was noticed in the Her- aLp atthe time, Captain Lalrbush contracced bis fatal illness about two months ago, when he went out one faw and bitter morning for the purpose of making a call on Mrs, A. T. Stewart. He was urged not to go, but replied that he bad not seen Mrs. Stowart fince the death of her husband, and deciined to be prevailed upon to forego his intent On his return from that visit be was stricken down with illness that caused him to take tothe Led irom which be never rose again. During bis rocent sickness he apprectated his critical condition, and had expressed himseit being aware that the ude of his long existence had as _ ched the last of its ebb, He seemed loth to the earth that had borne him tor such th of time, and in which he had been & witness to the fluctuations im the fortunes of men And nations. Up to a few years ugo the auniversary wf the birthday of this remarkable ceotetarian was | telebrated by ‘a dinner party given in his honor vy General Johu Watts De Peyster, und whitey was usually attended by « large number of distinguished people, The most prominent men of New York— harlow Weed, A. ‘I, Stewart und many others—bave taken Jeasure in doing him bouor, and it bas ym stated that be has received for a long time a peusion from a wealthy citizen interested in his extra. ordinary history. While living on the second floor of @ plain brick house un Third avenue, near Tuirty- fourth street, he would often breakfast at the Fesidences of vome of his wealthy friends on Fifth avenue, who always delighted in nearing him recount the interesting episodes of his chequered career, touching the members of a ration who had been sieeping their last sleep for half a century. Some douow have been Faised as to Captain Lubrbush’s veracity concerning his age, but nearly ail the promiment men who have invest the matter and made imqutrics at the Brit- deb War Office proclaim their faith tn his claim to have ‘Deen one of the oldest mea in the world. It is no vasy for one who bas read a sketch of Captain life, and who is familiar with the date of to realize that this ‘Man was born three years belore Napoleon j., who has ‘Deen doad these fity-six years; that at bis birth Louis XV. ruled m long suffering France, that Maria Theresa and Frederick the Grent swayed the sceptres of Ausir i Prussia, that Wilhain Pitt was only a » doy of se’ and that Mine. de Stace! was born in the ume year? Wo may think of these things by an effurt of memory, but who can call that time vivicly before the mind and associate it with the life of one who, until a few weeks ago, took bis meals fogu- by, and might be seon riding down town i a ird avenue car any fine day, a hale aud hearty old maa? The dim and taded historical pust seemed to spring into iife and flesh in the presence ol this living remnant of an epoch long, long gove by. It scems Bimost impossible to believe that this man was a of r, kuow Marshal Ney, Hugene, Victor wre; thui be ought uuder sir Arthur ‘Wetics- im the Peninsular war, avd Kept gaurd at Napo- po sy eget on St. Helena sixty long eventful years ago, His stravge history would fil a thrilling chap- ter of romance.
