Ml* Views on the ltcorgaulzatlon of the Civil Service C01v.1uis.ion—sterling's Application for a Place—Katun licappointed — Notes. Washington, November 5.—The Presi dent this afternoon appointed Dorman B. Eaton to be a member of the Civil Service Comiiiissioujiu place of Mr. Thoman, whoso resignation was accepted to take effect No vember 1st. The appointment is but a temporary one, however, ns it is proposed to appoint a permanent successor to Mr. Thoman in a snort time. Mr. Eaton con sented to servo on the commission for a few weeks in order to assist the newly appointed commissioners in familiarizing themselves with their ilnties, and also to close up certain unfinished matters in which he is greatly interested. It is not known who will succeed Mr. Eaton, be yond the fact that the new appointee will bo a Republican in full sympathy with •civil Bervicereform Fourth class postmasters appointed to day: In Virginia, at Fair Oaks, Samuel C. Burlington; at Fairport, E. II. Timbs. In North Carolina, nt Crossing, Wm. A. Hoke. In Florida, at Micco, Frank Smith. Tho President Interviewed. President Cleveland to-day expressed himself as follows to a member of the edi torial stuff of the Post in regard to the reor ganization of the Civil Service Commission: “Tho reorganization of the Civil Service Commission was made necessary by tho res ignation of tho members of the old board. In such reorganization it seemed to me that friends for the cause could bo made in the party to which I belong, nnd which is nt present charged with the enforcement of the law by changing the political complex ion of the commission. This view, I think, was shared by all the old commissioners, and the change has thus far progressed with nothing but good feeling, as far ns I know, on their part. In the selection of new com missioners there were so many different qualifications which I deemed desirable thnt I hnve found it no easy matter to fill the positions with men who would combine the elements which I consider most useful to a fair, honest and successful enforcement of the law. Prominent leaders in the civil service movement strongly advised me to select one of the commissioners from the South. This I have done, and the person selected from thnt locality I am certain pos sesses all the qualifications for an efficient officer. Mr. Edgerton I never saw until yesterday, nnd I don't remember that I ever heard of him until Chief Justice Waite urged him upon my attention as a most ex cellent man for tho place. From my im pression of him upon a personal interview, nnd from the representations matlo by his friends, I am entirely satisfied that no mis take has been made in his appointment. 1 should be treated justly nnd fairly. I do not mean to say that tho appointing power should be unjust and unfair to others by appointing .Sterling over the heads of those who hnve passed a better examination than he, and who are found on inspection to possess the other qualifications essential to un effective performance of the duties pertaining to the office, but I think all who have passed should be certified, and if, un der a fair application of the rules and in the exercise, honestly and in good faith, of the selection thus afforded, Sterling should be chosen, no friend of civil service reform has any right to complain. No cause can gain by injustice, or by the twisting of its purposes to suit particular tasks, and when the result is fairly reached by the proper operation of the methods adopted to further reform it should be accepted, especially by the friends of the movement. They should not permit those of whom they require submission to say with any semblance of truth that they themselves submit only when the results accord with their views.' GOV. HILL SERENADED.

A Grrat Fan-Slavist Scheme Fulls—Tim Political CumimlKii In KtiKliiml nmi Ireland—Stabbed 1>>* n Hector • —Train Rubber* in Italy. cannot rid mygelf of the idea that this civil (fservice reform is some thing intended to do practical good, and not a mcro sentiment invented for tbe pur pose of affording opportunity t j ventilate high-sounding uotions and fine phrases, plan -.1 .•mug it tin- ;:i. at.-st po-«iM. usefulness involves the removal of stumb ling blocks from the way of good, honest men who are inclined to its support, and demonstrate in every publio manner its value as adopted to the every day affairs of tho government. “Thus two Democrats were first selected, nnd I certainly intended to select them for two prominent positions in the commission, nnd this was dono largely in deference to the sentiments and opinions held by good men in the Democratic party, and it has v.lso occurred to me that it was a plain dic tate of common sense that one of the old commissioners should, if possible, remain for a time to aid tbe now ones. The prep aration of the report of the commission is a most important matter, affording an occasion to commend reform to tho people by exhibiting to them all that it has accomplished, and it ought to be very useful, too, in removing misapprehensions and objections. Deem ing the experience of one who has been in tho commission during the time to which tho report will relate of the utmost value in its preparation, and fully convinced that the knowledge gained by connection with the administration of tho law would be a great help at the outset to tho new commis sion, 1 obtained the consent of Mr. Eaton to remain temporarily in the commission, • and I have to-day appointed bim in place of Mr. Thoman, tno former Democratic member. When Mr. Eaton finally retires, I shall appoint a Republican, whose selection will, I hope, detract nothing from the strength and efficiency of the new commis sion. “My attention has been called to state- menta in tome of the newspapers relating to Sir. Sterling, of Brooklyn. ,1 have heard that he has applied for examination na a weigher in Now York. 1 have no informa tion whether he baa passed or not, but I judge from something appearing in the papers that certain p«iplo tear that he has, and are already lashing themselves into a dreadful state of apprehension,lest he should lw selected, after examination, to fill the place to which lie was appointed without examination, and from which hs was aus- pended. When the Civil Service Commis sion consulted with me as to the status of Sterling and the true construction of the rule bearing npou the subject, I agreed with them in their second opinion that the posi tion of weigher was subject to an examina tion, and that it should be filled by one who by means of examination under the law proved competent and eligible; but it seemed to me that the good of the service required thnt the pereon to be npi>ointed should be possessed of certain traits anil qualifications which no theoretical examination would show, und one having in charge two or three hundred men of the class with which the weigher has to deal should possess jicrsonal courage, energy, dcctaiou and firmness of character. It w en tirely certain that tho poMcasion of such qualifications could not in the least be determined by the result of in exsmips- tion organized for the purpose of testing an applicant’s knowledge of education, bo I eugge ted that t te examination' for th a place be non-competitive, but finding hat tin-law and rules did not permit taut in such a case, it was proposed that instead of sending to the appointing power only four names from “inae who hod proved themselves eligible upon examination, and obliging him to *■ .

Albany, Novembers.—Governor Hill wns serenaded at tbe executive mansion to-night by the Jacksonian club, and the affair was inode the occasion of a great Democratic demonstration. In tbe course of the speech acknowledging the compliment, Governor Hill said: “One thing may as well be deemed settled by this election. The State of New York, identified as it is with the business interests of the whole country, anxious for pence and prosperity, liberal in thought and tolerant of the sentiments of others, can never be carried upon nny issue of sectional hate. The past animosi ties between the North ana South have been forever buried and cannot be resur- rectedjor tbe benefit of any political party, however desperate that party may bo. The returning prosperity of business forbids tbe revival of tbe bitterness engendered by civil strife. The people desire amicable relations to exist between all sections of the country, and will tolerate no agitation of sectional controversies that nre dead. The party that presents live issues pertinent to the demands of the hour is tho party that will receive popular support. The people are interested in un honest and economical administration of public affairs. They want good govern ment everywhere in the nation—city and town. The demand honest rale for cities, freed from legislative dictation or interfer ence. They desire that the work of mu nicipal reform should be progressed, to the end that corruption and dishonesty may be uprooted. They insist that public officials shall be held to strict accountability, and that genuine reform be inaugurated. The Democratic party will meet these demands and dis charge them to the satisfaction of the peo ple. We hnve not promised a non-partisan administration. The peo ple do not expect it, and it is almost impossible under the true theory of our institutions. We will, however, give the people honest, efficient and competent servants, devoted to the public weak “Neither should I close without express ing a word of rejoicing with you over the victory of tho Democratic party in the grand old State of Virginin, in the election of General Fitzhugli Lee to the Governorship of thnt common wealth. You observed his manly presenco as he rode in tbe procession at the funeral of General Grant in New York, where he had come generously to pay his tribute of respect to the general of our armies, whom he had formerly opposed in civil strife. The victory of Leo is important, because it wipes off the stain of repudiation visible in our country, and places Virginia in tbe bonds of men who will not financially dishonor her good name, : ml will insure a creditable and hon orable administration of her affairs.” Caught liy Bloodhounds. Columbia, Maiiion Cousty, Miss., No vember 7.—A difficulty occurred between Bill Mon and Joe and Eliza Cook Thursday night. Moss shot John Cook through tho bowels, killing him, and also shot Eliza in the right breast, inflicting a dangerous and probably fatal wound. Moss ran from the town and escaped to tbe woods. Pursuit was organized by the citizens yesterday, bat Moss succeeded in eluding those after him until two bloodhounds were put on his trail. The animals tracked him deep into the woods and overtook him. He turned and fired twice at tbe dogs, killing one of them. By this time the pursuing party, which was close behind the dogs, came up and threatened Moss with death unless he sur rendered. He gave himself up and is now in jail. Phili porous, November 6.—Prince Alexander ia concentrating a fleet of vessel* and a lar^e number of troop* near Wldden, with a view of attacking Belgrade, the capital of Servia, by the way of the Danube river.

November 6.—King Milan to-day,converaing with the French miniater, aaid Servi* would not aaaent to the reatoration of the stattu quo ante unleaa guaranteed against a recurrence of the difllculty. Niacti, November 0.—The conspiracy among tho followers of Prince Karageoriric, discovered yester day, had more supporter* than waaat flnjt believed, and had many influential men in its fold. It i* learned to-day that it waa the intention of the con spirators to take King Milan’s life. The ring leader of the plot waa M. Valajievie. A number of persona connected with the conspiracy have been arrested. The excitement throughout Hervia ia intense. Belobade. November C.—Queen Natalie, of Ser via, on hearing of the arrest of the aix conspirator* yesterday immediately weut to Niaaa so aa to tie with her husband, King Milan, in the event of aeri- oils internal troubles aritdug through the machona- tions of intrigoerH. There is reason to believe that the conspiracy ia the outcome of the revolutionary programme recently planned by tho Pau- Hlavonic committee iu Boumalia, According to thla the revolution waa to have taken place in Boumelia next year. It was to have been preceded by a street or palace revolution in Sofia, which would have overthrown Prince Alexander In favor of Prince Nicholas of Montenegro, or of the latter’s aon-in-law, Peter Karageorgivlc. The out break at Sofia Would have becu the signal for an other in Servia, and. King Milan having been swept from tho throne, a Pan-Hlaviat cry would have been raised for the union of Bulgaria, Eastern Boumelia, Old Servia and Macedonia under one sceptre— that of Peter Karageorgivic. The Pan-hiavist intriguer*, however, made a mistake and took M. Karaveloff, the Bulgarian prime minister, into their confidence, relying upon the old sentiment of ani mosity which he used to cherish towards Prince Alexander while living in exile, but Karaveloff, since he bssbeen in office, has become very friendly with the Prince, and, whether out o! sincere devo tion toward* the latter or because he saw the way to make a great career for himself, he not only re vealed the conspiracy to tho Prince, but persuaded the leading conspirators to precipitate the movement and executo it in favor of Prince Alexander. It is said that the Pan-Slavist committee had the backing f Russia in their origiual scheme. Paris, November 6.—The Journal dea Debats says that a triple alliance haa been rcached,and that Austria and Germany have joined England, France and Italy against Uusaia, for the puntose of forcing Russia to accept their vlewa at the Balkan confer- Montreal, November 8.—The daily report of the city medical health officer for yesterday is as fol lows: Medical visits made, 60; number houses pla carded, 33; replacarded, 16; disinfected, 16; appli cation for admission to small-pox hospital, 30; re fusals, 2; patients in 8t.

A Murderous llcctor, Plymouth, Exq., November 6,—Rev. Stewart Ross, formerly rector of Christ Church, at Belfast, Ireland, waa addressing the Ply mouth Young Men’s Christian Society last evening, when Charles Joy, a Canadian emigration commissioner, burst into tho room and shonted; “You hypocrite! You eloped with my wife!” Ross turned pale and fled from the room. His andience were surprised and greatly electrified. Tbe moment many of them re alized what was the matter they became a howling mob, and pursued their lecturer for a mile, rolling all the time. At this point lloes, who was breath less and driven to bay, turned suddenly and stabbed two of his most active pursuers. The others, com ing up at the moment, seized and disarmed the murderous rector. Tho police then put in an appearance and arrested Boas. He waa taken before a magistrate to-day, when charges were lodged against him, aud he was remanded for a week without bail. It transpires that Boss disappeared from Belfast two years ago, lewlng a wife and three children. Mn. Joy, who was a teacher in bis Sunday-school, also disappear ed at the same time, which led to the report that tbe couple bad eloped. Mrs. Joy was in tbe prisoner’s lodgings, and when informed of her paramour’s ar rest gloried in her connection with the “Lord’s an A STAEAMBOAT DISASTER.

Tho Mountain Girl was leased by a portion of John Robinson’s abow, which waa traveling as a cheap circus and variety concern.

The Mountain Girl was chartered to convey the cir cus exhibition along the river, and had left Law- renceburg with its people, horses and circus prop erty, after 11 o’clock last night Its next appoint ment was at Vevay or Rising Sun. The show was iu the name of Holland & Menahan. Captain D. L.

The Mountain Girl a a small U] the river steamer, built for the Big Sandy trade, am owned by the Big Sandy Packet Company. She was valued at from $5,000 to $8,000. It is thought sho can be easily raised. The J. W. Gaff was not injured in any way. She arrived here this morniugVitb the people belonging to the circus, numbering between thirty and forty. Two are missing, a cauvasman and a lamp-lighter, but no oue cau tell whether they were drowued or merely left in the confusion aboard the Mountain Girl. The circus men lost ten valuable track burses and a number of snakes. The circus property Is nearly all on tbe boat, where it will be injured by tho water. Later.—From the best information that can be obtained from the circus people, it now appears that John King, of Cincinnati, and Richard Harrell, ‘ Lawrenceburg, were drowned. Boino of the men y they saw King iu the water. Nobody can be found who has seen Harrell, and It ia therefore as sumed that he waa drowned. Captain Thompson thinks all of the steamboat’s crew are safe. .Flushed With Success!

London, November 6.—John Bright, speaking at Birmingham last evening, asked why tha Conserva tives did not try the experiment of protection on the British colonies instead of foreign countries. He said that Canadian import duties on British goods were usually higher than on other Eu ropean goods, but the colonies would soon sever their connection with England if the ex periment were tried. If a few trades were protected all others were equally entitled to protection. Tho suggestion of Lord Salisbury was so absurd that be (Bright) wondered at hia proposing it.
