COL. WHARTON’S BECOMMENDATIOMS.
Washington, June 15.—The Republi
can publishes a ooloma article io depre-
oistion of Its iwoeat srtiole on the depre
ciation of the President's notion in the
Louisians llsrshslsbip.
In tbe mosaio of Whsrton’s display of
bis snitablenesa to be Marshal, tbe Re
publican finds tbst tbe following gentle
men explicitly recommended Col
onel Wharton's appointment as
United States Marshal, viz.: Ex-Gov.
S. B. Psokard, dodge Alexander Walker,
Hon. 0. W. Warmontb, Hon. L. A. Shel
don, ex-Gov. W. P. Kellogg, ex-Gov. D.
F. Penn, W. H. Roberts, editor of tbe
Timet-, W. H. Fish, editor pf the Repub
lican-, H. J. Hearsey, editor of the Demo
crat-, George Niobolson, editor of tbe
Picayune-, Isaao N. Bteneberger, editor
of tbe New Orleans Timet-, M. F. Bigney,
editor of the New Orleans Advertiser-, A.
D. Battle, editor of the Shreveport Timet-,

German Gazette-, Hon. P. B. Ptnohbaoki
J. 0. Deimies, Administrator of Finance;
Charles Oavanae, Administrator of Corns
meree; Gen. J. B. Hood; B. W. Wheo-
look, President of the New Orleans and
Pacitto Railway, and others.
The Republican then publishes the let
ters'of some of these gentlemen, not,
however, inolnding Packard, and con
cludes: These faota are important as
tending to vindicate the course of the
President in regard to this matter.
It is noticeable in the Republican's re
view of papers that no one having much
hope of office from the Administration
appears to have recommended Wharton
especially for Marshal.

ity, it is known that the Chief Justice was
not pleased with his experienoe in South

CIVIL SERVICE BEFOBM.
Special to the Enquirer-Sun.]
Wabhinoton, June 15,—Collector Sim
mons, of Boston, oalled upon tbe Presi
dent for the speoifio purpose of ascertain
ing his views upon the oivil service sys
tem os applicable to the oustom house.
Mr. Simmons especially wished to know
whether the foot that an officer has been
loyal to the poet Administration and has
conducted his oflloe in accordance with
the principles whioh have been reoognized
in all party administrations, was to be
urged against him now. He was informed
by the President that as to the past, the
present Administration would undertake
to hold no man responsible for a system
of appointments, whioh had Been encour
aged and practiced by both partlos, and
oorreotod by none; that tbe Pres
ident was, however, determined
that for the future his pledgo of
oivil service reform should be executed to
tbe letter; that persons in the Foderal
service should have no direot connection
with or participation in the aotive man
agement of politios or its machinery; that
like other good oitizens, they are expeoted
to exeroise their ohoioe of suffrage accord
ing to their own will, after candidates are
chosen and issues made up. He did not,
expect Federal offioe holders to be a part
of the political machinery which manages
eauoHses, oontrols conventions and sc-
onres nominations, bnt tho principles of
tbe letter written to the Oolleotor of Cus
toms at New York were to be made tho
general principles of the publio service,
and that they would doubtless be soon em
bodied in a general order.

pondent of the Newt at Bucharest tele
graphs as follows: On the Russian army,
any foreshadowing of peaoe wonld fall
with a thrill of pashionate disgust, that

the utmost. There oan be no question
that the army regards Constantinople as
tbe only goal that oan content it. I un
derstand it is settled that the Czar will re
turn to Rnfeia immediately after he has
witnessed and participated in the passage
of tbe Dannbe. There are now compara

to Earl Derby is as follows: If the Turks
make peaoe directly, Russia crosses the
Balkans. Russia will be ready to acoord
peace, but if otherwise sbo would have no
alternative bnt to oonquer and dictate
peace to the Porte. If England wishes to
prevent Russians from entering Constan
tinople she has oDly to exert her inflnenoe
npon the Turks in order to indneo them
to yield immediately, and the Balkans are
passed.

These medicines have undoubtedly per
formed more eures of Consumption than
any other remedy known to the Amerioen
publio. They are compounded of vege
table ingredients, end contain nothing
whioh oan be injurious to tbe hnman con
stitution. Other remedies advertised as
onrea for Consumption, probably oontain
opium, whioh is a somowhat dangerous
drug in all oasos, and if taken freely by
oonaumptive patients, it must do great
injury; for its tendency is to confine tbe
morbid matter in tho system, whioh, of
oourtto, must make a aura impossible.
Sohenek’s Paimonio Syrup is warranted
not to oontain a partiole of opium; it is
ooinposed of powerful bqt harmless
herbs, wbioh act on the lungs, liver,
stomaah, and blood, and thus oorreot all
morbid aeoretions, and expel all the dis
eased matter from the body. These are
tbe only means by wbioh Consumption

Syrup, Sea Weed Tonio and Mandrake

ate in this way, it is obvious they are the
