THE Robertson Register, adyerting to
the comments Of this paper upon the late
lawless proceedings in Robertson county,
say, that in our eagerness for news
items, we gather sensation rumors
from persons who are equally anxious to
report something for the press
We can inform that paper, that the in
formation upon which we based our re-
marks was derived from sources against
which its imputations will not lie--men
who are personally cognizant of the facts
and that the character Of this Journal is
not that of dealer in sensation Of any
sort-especially statements as vitality af.
iecting the peace Of the community Its
reflection is wholly gratuitous We said
nothing derogatory to the mass of the
citizens Of that county, nor anything that
could be construed into a suggestion that
It's civil authorities were inadequate to
maintain The law We stated facts
merely, and sought to enforce the public
sentiment and the law against the law
breakers This is a duty of the public
press, and if the Register does not know

a MEAsURE oF REFoRm.

The bulk Of the Offices in this country
are filed by incapable men, and this
more than any and all things else, is the
cause Of the mnumbered woes we are
suffering Under the pernicious system
Of partisan appointment, merit and ca
pacity is almost excluded IL is the
grand evil Of our system and unless
remedied will work its ruin It peryades
every department of the service from the
highest to the lowest Federal, State
county and municipal The best men in
the country are ont of Office, and some
Of the worst are in The majority Of Of
iice-holders of every degree are incompe-
tent, and many are morally unworthy
This is a state of things which calls i'm
peratiyely for reform, and it must come
soon or it will be too late Every OBJ
servant and rejecting man must have
noted it as the hane OF our institutions
Ours is q complicated system-this is the
essence Of its wisdom Demagogues
frequently talk about simplifying the
forms Of governments, but simple gov.
ernments are but step from despotisln
The people must dole out their power in
precious parcels, and surround it with
checks and limitations. This is the thing
Of our government and it requires good
capacity to administer it Men who
have sufficient shrewdness or unscrupu-
lousness to be efficient party men, are not
necessarily the proper material for Of
fees Yet this is generally the standard
of qualification. and the appointees
bring to the public service, the small
arts of the huckstering policemen, rather
than true attainments.
We are glad to perceive that a meas
ure is now before, Congress, which pro
poses an entire alteration in the mode of
selecting officers for the civil service of
the general government 1t is a bill
from the special Committee on Retrench-
ment and Reform reported by Mr. Jencks,
Of Rhode Island 1t provides for the APP
poiutInent of Civil Service Examining
Board by the President, who shall ex-
anime and pass upon the qualifications
Of every appointed, or applicant for an
appointment under the government; and
to throw the selection open to eompeti-
tive examination as to fitness. The Ger
tifcate Of this board as to mental moral,
and physical qualification, is to be made
a prerequisite to appointment tits also
given power 10 prescribe what miscon-
duct or inefFiciency shall be sufficient
cause for expulsion, and authority to re-
commend explosions. 1t is empowered,
indeed with general supervision over the
civil officers appointable by the President
and heads Of departments The plan
suggested by the committee is said to be
based on what prevails in England and
on the continent, and is designed 10 en-
body the best features of other lands
We apprehend that the great difficulty
would be at the outset in getting the ma
chinery fairly started, under circum-
stances Of antagonizing political favorit.
ism and proaigacy; but once set fairly
in motion, we see no reason why the sys.
tenn should not work to the advantage of
the country and the improvement of the
government ofice-holders as a class, and

and in that of the public service

liz his message Of October 1865, Go

In his message Of October 1868, Gov
RrOwnlow said:
A long and intimate acquaintance
with affairs in the South has convinced
me that The white and colored people
cannot live together, politically or socially
as equals
Does the Governor favor the pending
amendment making the "colored people
the political equals Of one fifth Of the
white people of Tennessee, ana the politi-
calsuperiors Of remaining four-ffths ?
Does he think that will be a propitous
or harmonious Giving together " Has
the negro been elevated in the scale Of
intelligence and fitness for this great
civic duty since then2 or has the white
man sunk 10 the proper level for this
political amalgamation What change
in affairs has occurred to make fit in
February 1867, what was so clearly
against the convictions Of the Guberna-
torial mind in 1862
