The committee in their report say it. can see no reason for questioning ; the good faith of the staiement made by the acting secretary of the treasury, that substitution is allowed when possible. Mr. Cannon, of Illinois Is there anything in the civil service law that prohibits the secretary of tho treasury or president from re removing - moving removing chief clerks, appointment clerks, and every head of a bureau in thttt department?

He carried it out more fully than his Republican predecessors. Mr. Cannon You are satisfied these abuses arisei from the heads of bureaus, Jf this li true, is the presi president - dent president incompetent or knavish in re refusing - fusing refusing to remove, them?

"re you in good health? ouerned Mr. Taulbee. I think something must be the matter with you." I leave it to the country to say whether the gentleman is sick or well." Mr. Taulbee did not wish to be un derstood as making an assault on the president or secretary of the treasury because they had enough to contend with in their oontrovctsy with the senate, but these abuses ought to be corrected. The Democratic party wan us doctrines ana practices stood as far above the Kepublican party as tne stars above the deep caverns of the ocean; but if his party did wrong anu anuses grew anove me Demo cratic administration he would call attention to them.
