citizen is not only a customer but a partner, with
powerful and direct interest in its good administra-
tion. So infamously have the employes been selected
•
that were it not that the "store" has the nation forits
owner it would have " bust up " long since. It
continues to be run because it is a necessity, and,
as it must be worke I, surely there is sense in what
Mr. JENCKES proposes, that at least the juui",
clerks should have their hands kept out 01
the sugar, and be prevented from purloining
the plums. He desires to exclude the shoulder-
hitter, the garotter, the pipe-layer, the ballet-
box smasher, the false oath-taker, the ward-rootn
bully, the primary-meeting manager, the bal-
lot changer, the rioter, the peculator, the gambler,
and the thief, to whom the avenues to elective of-
fices would continue open. They may still become
Aldermen, Mayors, Governors of States, Congress-
men, even Judges, by the popular choice. The
reform Mr. JENCKES advocates is limited to a hum-
bler sphere; nor is it probable that those who seek
the clerkships, the places of weighers or gangers,
will be adorned with university honours. Thesort
of aristocracy it creates will be Indian agents, let-
ter carriers, light-house keepers, and tide agents.
Within the scope of the bill there are not it
hua-
dred offices over $3,000 a year, and the average is
under $1,200. These " bloated aristocrats" might
get up in Washington, where its cream would be
found, a new farce of " High Life Below Stairs" if
any fun was left in the poor clerks after their dusty
drudgery. It has been urged against the creation
of this oligarchy. ahat it would be dangerous to the
State ; but the Republic is more likely to withstand
their insidious policy than the present mode of col-
lecting the Revenue, which is, in truth, a real dan-
ger. Our objection to Mr. JENCKES'S Bill is that
it excludes too many offices from the permanent and
competitive principle. Congress ought not to over-
look the feelings so deeply imilanted in the human
mind of hope and ambition. A lad may plod with
an earnest zeal through long years of ill-paid mono-
tonous work with the prospect of an eventual prize.
The amoant of honest, steady intelligent labour the
State may secure at a trifling expense through
working on these feelings no statesman should dis-
regard. Mr. JENCKES pays a high tribute to Eng-
lish Common Law, and he would find in many par"
titulars the Civil service of this country worthy of
imitation. The essence. of it is promotion for good
service, and Mr. JENCKES omits a very attractive
magnet in so carefully culling the plums out of his
pudding. It is, however, a most important step ill
the right direction, to which, if the people were
only fully alive, an immediate trial would be given.

The treaty sketched out by Dr. Roesing, Con'
sul-General of the North German Union for the
protection of German emigrants to America, ought
immediately to be carried into operation. The
ship Heatheig, from Bremen, arrived at New York
with a large number on the 6th inst., and the pas-
sengers accuse the officers of brutal ill-treatment
on the voyage. Captain Beaumann was examined
by the Consul-General, and his affidavit taken as
well as that of Mrs. Melrose, who exhibited symp-
toms of insanity. She accuses the boatswain of hav-
ing committed an outrage, and the Consul has sent the
evidence toßremen for the action of his Government.
Tho captain declares he endeavoured to check and
arrest the boatswain, who has escaped. On the
9th inst., the prisoners, James Glynn, William
Carruthers, and Joseph Murphy, charged with bru-
tality on board the emigrant ship James Foster, Jicii.,
on the voyage from Liverpool to New York, were
brought before United States Commissioner Jones,
and, waiving examination, were committed to
await the action of the Grand Jury. .-
On receipt of the telegram giving the Connecti-
cut elections, we were correct in supposing that the
old Republican member for the Third District,
H. 11. Starkweather, had been elected to Congress,
his majority over Converse being 2,254, the largest
cast. William H. Barnum, the former Democratic
Representative, was returned for the Fourth Dis-
trict by 700 votes over the Republican candidate,
Sidney F. Beardsley. James Dixon was defeated
by the Republican candidate, Julius L. Strong, 11
a majority of 764 for the Hartford District ; and
Mr. Strong takes the seat of the late Democratic
member, Richard D. Hubbard. Mr. Kellogg, the
R publican, had a hard struggle, but he defeated
James F. Badeock, the Democrat, by only 323 votes
for the New Haven District, thus giving another
.Democratic seat to the Republicans in that lately
occupied by Julius Hotchkiss. The success, there-
fore, of the Republican party is greater than an-
nonaced by the Cable, as it was left to be supposed that
Badcoek had carried the New Haven election. The
State Senate have increased their Republican ma-
jority, but the Republicans have lost heavily in the
House, though they still command there a small
majority. The correspondent of the London Tines
is then wrong in the information be gave in that
journal on Wednesday last as regards the members
elected to Congress. Messrs. Strong, Kellogg, anti
Starkweather took their seats in the House on the
9th-inst., but not Mr. Barnum. We have already
given the returns for Rhode Island, and we have
only to add that Governor Padelford's majority
was 3,875, the voting being for him 6,271 ; for

Pierce, the Democratic candidate, 3,396. The
Legislature is strongly Republican—the Senate
standing 26 Republicans to 7 Democrats, and the
House 60 Repuiplicans to 12 Democrats.
A Leavenworth paper thinks "an evidence of
the westward march of civilization" that the Kansas Le-
gislature appropriated $1,400 for tobacco for the peniten-
tiary prisoners, and only $3OO for preaching the gospel to
them

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS ar6 decidedly the best remedy-for all
disorders of the stomach and bowels, the liver and kidneys •
They act with so decided an effect, and yet so gently, that people
of the mo.t delicate constitutions may take them with the most
perfect confidence. They do not contain a single grain of mer-
cury or other noxious substance, being composed exclusively of
rare balsams. They are therefore equally safe and efficacious,
and as a family medicine nothing yet invented or discovered can
be compared with them for a moment. With these inestimable
pills at hand, together with the printed directions affixed to each
box, no other medical advice or assistance can be needed in any
ordinary case of sickness
