This morning's Post contains an interview with Vice President Hendricks, explaining the position he assumed la the Indianapolis Postcxastershlp contest. It disproves the statement printed variously that he assured Eynum that he would not ask for the place, and would not make any reccommendation in tne matter. It shows, on the contrary, that Bynum was present when the Vice President called upon the Postmaster General, and that they talked the matter over, and that he (Hendricks) did not again call at the Postoßice Department la regard to the appointment. J. ü. Sankey.of Terre Haute, is here. 113 came to apply for the Collectorshlp of Internal Reveauv. in that district, but says his visit was too lte. John F.

THE PRESIDENT

Continues to Pursue tho Evm Tenor of His Ways. Is the Democratic Party in Power Only iu Name ' Cfril Senice and Tennre-of-Oßice Laws Not In the Waf. Tho South Not Grasping- and tho "Whole Country Forbearing. 21. W. Carr Sees Public Affairs In a Clear Light at Washington and Refers to the Indianapolis 1'ostofHce Affair aad Prominent I udlaniaus. i special Editorial Correspondence. 1 Washington, March 2S. The present ad ministration baa been sufficiently long at the helm to indicate the direction in wh?ch it would steer the ship of state. The chart has been changed to Eüit the present needs, and th$ line of duty Is eaid to plainly mark tbe cenrte to ba pursnad. The President, by his appointments, continues to astonish politicians. In their disappointment they foam some and eay foolish thing", but the Amercan people are rot yet prepared to condemn the policy so far manifested by Mr. Cleveland in his public acts. Mr. Blaine is reported as very much pleased with tbe wor done to fir, and Mr. Vilas, ol course, will continue to "love Grover Cleveland for the enemies he makes' In case he makes friends it is not reported what the Wisconsin statesman wilidj.but it might perplex the individual now known a9 Tost master General to know that Republicans of the Blaine ilk are iubilant while the honest yeomanry of Democracy are asking the quetion: "Is the Democratic party in power only in name?" It is true that soxie Democratic Postmasters have been nominated and some 'prominent names have been sent to the Senate to bs confirmed for the foreign missiors, but with these exceptions the republican party is yet in power with an eyo tingle to draw iE g the talaries of nearly 120,GGO officials. If this is what is called tho careful beginnings and slow movements aa distinct from sudden actions and surprises, it would be well not to disturb the cfficeholdera at all, for they are now bo confirmed in their fixedness that anything looking toward their removal will be sudden to them and therefore unbecoming to the Dew powers. And this irony, let me add, is not irony to come. , Howe f er, Mr. Cleveland will make his administration a succe&s, and, as I intimated in a previous letter, he will in good time plant the Government once more on the eternal rock of Democratic principles. THE SOUTH QUITE MODEST. The President is agreeably surprised at the lack of hungry pressure for cfiice. The rush is cot half what it was four years ago, and is nothing to what it would be had Mr. Blaice been elected. The South, of course, has been remembered by the President, but as a whole the people of that section are exceedingly modest and evidently averse to asserting their claims. They are not willing to give Republican papers an opportunity to comment noon their demands to the detriment of the administration, and this fact commends them warmly to Mr. Cleveland and also to the kindly regard of the Democracy cf the whole country. They arc patriotic enough to practice self denial for their party's and their country's good, and the entire people look on approvingly. Secretary Lamar is very proud of the position of the Southern people. Their forbearance has strengthened his arm and gladdened his heart and the hearts of their friends in the North. Nothing anywhere noted for patience and anti-selfeeeking has ever equaled the gallant spirit of the South. At the Metro-, pol it an Hotel the leaders are gathered. Tms ' rendezvous is thronged during the solid cliy, and it would seem as by common consent that here especially are the inte-ests of ether sections and other men mere favorably d:cu:ted than are those of.Eouthern States and Sauthern men.. CIVIL fclT.VtE AND TENUEI OK OFFXC::. Not one-tenth of the Government employes are afTected by the civil service bngbear, and the tenure-of of3ca law goe3 for nothitg. If these statements are true, acd they can be proved to be so, where is the necessity for allowing members of the Republican party to draw the salaries while the Democrats are supposed to do the voting? The tenure of-office-act was paased to retain Republicans in office when President Johnson, returningto his first love ai a Democrat, proposed to turn many of them ouL It is a Republican effort in the interest of the Republican party, and it is parsing strange to find Damociats weak enouca to be governed by iL Sach fiedgHng, whether officials or civilians, are not aware that in order to give Grant full sway this law was to repealed or modified by a Republican Congress that the Senate confirmation is not now essential to holding eftice. Tne power of the President to remove and appoint at pleasure is jet intact, and on th's point Sections 1 7J7, 1,703 and 1,774 of the Revited Statutes of the United States are very explicit Let our leading ocias read them; let the Supreme Court, if necessary, pass utou them; let everything be done that is not inconsistent with right, eo that tbe rasrals may be turned out and their peaces siven to honett and deservine Dem:ris. To this sentiment the "just so" of millions of Ameiican citizens can be had for the s&ktng. THE VICE PaiSIDLNT POtVEBrUL.
