60 as far as it has gone in placing such duties il
the hands of military employees Of the Gov.
eminent. All remember the shocking expose
of fraudulent practices in connection with the
erection of the extension Of the Capitol, made
by Senate investigating committee not long
since. Those practices were the result Of de-
volving such duties and responsibilities on
porter-house politicians. The remedy has GER
tainly cured the evil there. We presume tina,
the accomplished officer, who has charge OF
that work at this time, would gladly get relief
from the intense labors, and vast responsibility
which have thus been forced on him without
adding sixpence to his pay. While we gladly
bear testimony to the fact, that his appoint.
ment has had a happy effect indeed in the
matter of putting q stop to the Strong" game
formally played in connection with that work,
We have further to say, we shall rejoice when
Congress 30 manage their share Of the business,
pense with the employment Of military officers
on such works, for the advantage of the latter,
as we'll as Of the civilians employed under
them. To accomplish this end, however, men,
bsrs must cease to ask places of pecunary and
mechanical trust as rewards for services rem
dered in securing their election, or in doing
political work for them personally, or for either
political party. Men who seek to be thus re-
wardel for such services, Wings or Democrats,
are improper appointees to such places, in nine
out Of ten cases We should like nothing bet
ter than to be able to expose the unwritten
history Of the appointment of every man, prom
inent or unimportant implicated in the expo
sure made by the special committee above
referred to. We are satisfied that every man
of them was urged upon the appointing power
by more or less gentlemen at that tims hold,
inS seats in the National Legislature.
