TIE FIRE DEPARTMENT JOB.

The project TO add over $lSO,OOO to the an
nual expense of the Metropolitan Fire Depart
mcnt, now costing the city over 100000, to
which has been added a section which allows
the Board of Supervisors to pass upon the
claims Of eight volunteer companies of the old
Department, whose organizations were kept up
by the former Commissioners for nearly two
aud a half years, on the payment of 81 900 to
each company, and who now claim to be en-
titled to the same pay as fremen giving full
time to their duties, making Ill the aggregate
900 additional, is still hopefully pressed
by the projectors in the face of tho opposition
of the Board of Commissioners, and of the ad-
verse report of four out of five (Messrs. Crow
ley, Palmer, Banks and Kennedy of the Com
mittee on Municipal Affairs. 1t is well known
to the Commissioners and to the public that a
large contribution in the way of an assessment
OIL the increase has been made by the men,
naturally individually anxious to obtain an adj
ditional 5000 each, without regard to the con-
sequences to the Department or the public.
This contribution, which is estimated to reach
$4,000 in amount, is too large for any ordinary
compensation for lobby agents, and should
take the bill out of the order of measure
presented on its merits, and place it on the
list of jobs, grown so common OF late years,
and which the public, alive to steadily increas-
ing taxation, are watching with interest to see
how the good men in the Senate will strangle
The action of the Committee in reporting
against the matter, and of the Commissioners
in actively opposing it. cannot fail to be sus-
tanned without an inquiry as to how it was ef-
fected and WHO is responsible.

case first cxtiuguishing the "pyrotechnics" of
the defense, and then bringing to bear on the
Presidents crimes something more ne ri re-
Sembling the simple solar light. We may
safely infer, from his allusion to the length of
Mr. Evarts's address, that he will not also seek
to make his Grafton immortal by making it
eternal. He dwells most fOrcibly on the dangers
of the doctrine that the President shall he per-
mitted to annul all laws by merely denying their
cOnSttutiOnality. This would rcvolutiOnize the
Government into u monarchy. AS it has never
been asserted that the President is any more
independent of the legislative than he is of
the judicial branch of the Government, the
same doctrine which the Presidents counsel
have advanced and defended would justify him
in declaring null the judgment of the Senate
itself and, instead of retiring from Office in
obedience to its sentence, i'll procuring himself
to be crowned King Andrew the First.
New-York tribune., 1868-05-05
4 CITIL SERCICE BrRE4E

Mr.. Jenckes's bill to create department Of
"the Civil Service" or Board of Examiners of
applications for office, provides that the Board
shall consist of the NicePresident of the
United States, who receives $1,000 additional
salary for his services thereon, and four Com
missioners, appointed in the usual manner, for
five years, at a like salary. They are to fix
the qualifications requisite for appointment to
each branch and grade of the civil service, the
terms of probation during which officers are to
be appointed on trial, and the rules for their
examination They shall examine personally,
or by persons designated, all applicants for
office, and report thereon. All appointments
shall be made on their recommendation, and
competing applicants shall be appointed and
promoted according to their grade of fitness as
reported by the Examiners. Each applicant for
examination shall pay fee of s., and each
person recommended shall pay fee of so
into the United States Treasury. The Board
shall also prescribe the grounds of removal, the
mode of trial Of officers charged with miscOn-
duct, shall conduct the trial, and on their re-
port officers convicted shall be Immediately re-
moved by the head of the proper department.
All officers now in the civil service are to APP
found incompetent or unworthy, be removed in
like manner. All citizens of the United States
(without distinction of sex or COLOR shall be
eligible to appointment. The heads of depart
ments shall designate the offices which mdy be
filled by females as well as by males, and for
all such offices women may compete and be ap-
pointed, promoted, paid, tried, and dismissed
OH equal terms with their male competitors.
We strongly hope that some such bill as that
prepared by Mr.. Jenckes may become law
during the present session. 1t would relieve
politics of three-fourths of its venality and
corruption and would purge our public offices
of nine-tenths of their scoundrels and incom-
petents 1t would greatly lessen the burden of
appointments and removals which now presses
heavily on the President and all the depart
ments, and world furnish the Vice President,
who is now a sort of fifth wheel to the Gov
eminent coach, with something to do. Let us
have Civil Service Department of some kind
No better plan has yet been devised than that
of Mr.. Jenckes.
New-York tribune., 1868-05-05

In view of the studied attempts of the Dem
ocratlc press to represent the trial of Andrew
Johnson as partisan proceeding it is some
what singular that the only Senators who have
spoken or voted on the questions which have
arisen on the trial, with strict regard to party
lines, are the Democrats Republican Senators
have divided in every way according to their
individual convictions, now sustaining and now
condemning in mass the course of the I'M
peachment Managers. But every solitary point
raised by the Presidents counsel has been
voted for as soldly by the Democratic Senators
as if they were all owned by the President
body, soul, and breeches.n Indeed, no part of
the Democratic press seems to think it worth
while to inquire how the Democratic Senators
will vote. 1t is assumed that their vote is with
out discretion and purely partisan, Willie Dem
ocnts of every shade admit that the
Reuubhcan Senators arc unbiased by the
New-York tribune., 1868-05-05

doubts they express of their final decision
Is it possible that Democratic Senator,
all conscientiOusly believe in the novel
and unprecedented claims on which the presi.
dents defense rests Does Rcverdy Johnson
as a lawyer, believe that a Presidents lawful
independence of the legislative and judicial
branches of the Government exteuds 80 FAR .s
to authorize him to disobey the judgments Of
the latter or the laws of the former? II 80
why has the astute Maryland lawyer lived
quarters of a century without announce
ing this startling discovery to the world And
yet Senator Johnson has in effect anDounced
in advance his intention to vote for the presi-
dents acqiittal. A solid vote of the Demo-
cratic Senators for propositions of law that
abolish the Constitution and convert this Gov
ernment into monarchy, are looked for as a
matter of course. The dainty Democratic press
swallow this very large camel as if it were
gin sling. But if Republican Senators should
as unit vote that Andrew Johnson is not a
monarch, then there will be an uplifting of un-
washed hands in horror at such partsanship
New-York tribune., 1868-05-05

1t is several weeks since news has reached
us from Crete, and probably no accounts have
ever given the Christian world Just idea of
the condition of the struggle in that unfortu-
nate island. We only know that the Turks
have seized all the large towns, burned many
of the villages, ravaged the fields, trampled
down the crops, destroyed the trees and vines,
and rendered the country incapable of support
ing the Inhabitants; that their cruelties to the
Christians who have fallen into their hands
have surpassed in atrocity even the outrages
of the Indians of the Plains; yet that the in
surgents though it may be true that fighting
has nearly ceased, have not submitted. They
have taken refuge in the mountains, and there
in hunger and misery they continue to defy
the Turks and to hope for assistance from the
Christian nations. Money has been collected
here to help them, but not so much as should
have been. We understand that fresh iml-
pulse has recently been given to the benevo-
lent work of raising funds for their relief.
Whether the war is over or not, they are in
urgent need of help for their physical neces-
sites, and when the people of NewYork are
appealed to, we trust that they will answer
generously.
New-York tribune., 1868-05-05

We call attention to the application to he
made to the Supreme Court by the Counsel to
the Corporation on the 10th of May next, foI
appointment of Commissioners to open Seven
tieth-st. from the Eighth to Tenth-ave Seventy
third, Seventy-fourth, and Seventy -ffth-sts.
from Eighth-ave. to Hudson River; Ninetieth,
Ninety-frSt, Ninety second, and Ninety-third-
sts from FOurth-ave to Fifth-ave. One hundred
and-eighteenth- from Fourth-ave. to Eighth
ave.; Laurens-st. from Canal to Amity and
Fourthsts. Owners of property upon and adj
jacent to these streets should attend upon these
applications, and nominate fit persons for ap-
pointment as such Commissioners. Proper atten-
tion to these incipient proceedings by those
interested in the property would induce the
Court to appoint persons of character and
responsibility to conduct the proceedings, and
thus afford check against the wholesale sys-
TEN of plunder usually attendant upon these
street-Opening cases.
New-York tribune., 1868-05-05

the alleged acts in violation of the injunction
requires months of time and talk is a matter
of question. In place of innuendoes and recrim-
nations between counsel and witness, as at
first, we now have animated discussions be-
tween the opposing counsel as to individual
manners and merits. If Nh Field objects to
question: Mr.. Clark rises and with remarkable
cloQuence censurcs the manner and wording OF
the objection. Whereupon Mr.. Field replies In
an elaborate argument to show that he Is III
order and the other gentleman out and Mr.
Clark, claiming the "right to close (somc-
times called 1.-THE last wOrdr), exhausts the
dictionary and himself in support Of his po-
sitiOn. Thus do these gentlemen beguile the
time of the Court, with zeal and persistence
worthy of the impeachment trial; while Judge
Barnard sits through it all with admirable en-
durance. When the defense has reached and
closed its case, which at the present Railway"
speed might be mathematically calculated, we
shall doubtless hear the tones of the learned
counsel, like the horns at Jericho or the
orators of Impeachment, resoundlng for many
days. to show that Jay Gould and his CO.
defendants are and are not guilty of scOrnlng

The City and County Tax Levies had their
third readings and were passed in the Senate
last night. Some of the most glaringly ex-
tra,agant appropriations had been reduced in
Committee. but others were increased by the
vote of the Committee of the Whole For in
stance, the donations to schools and churches
were cut down 100000 but the Court House
appropriation was raised by the same amount,
An amendment providing for new street
cleaning contract was added to the City Tax
Levy. The Governors veto of the bill to in
crease the salary of the Sheriff was sustained
New-York tribune., 1868-05-05

Adding the items in the first table, we have
over "a, 500 900. without touching Police, Com
mon Schools, support of the Poor Board of
Health, Fire Department, or Interest on Funded
Debts.
We are soothinglv told that the whole levy
will not go over $4,000 900; but there are
schemes in progress for issuing bonds to in
crease the burden or the people by many mil
lions more. AS specimen, we put as the last
item the proposed $lOOOOOO for the new Bou
levard, which is not counted as taxation because
it is to be raised in city stock The bill is full
of fraud, and we cannot doubt that the Sen
ate, or at all events the Governor, will kill it if
within their nnWer.

THE LAND OF PROMISE

Dozens OF young men write us TO this effect:
You exhOrt young men (and older) to quit
y" the oyer-crOwded cities and find (or make)
homes in the broad, free country; but
"Where2 What section do you consider most
Inviting for those who take with them little
"mOre than stout frames and willing hands n
To all such, we desire to say once for all.
There is 40 section which seems to us decidedly
preferable to all others. We have seen prairie
and timber as well interleaved in Missouri
(along the North Missouri Railroad) as We
could wish and the whole region seemed just
about enough diversified in altitude and the
timber quite good. So throughout Eastern
Kansas, but especially as we travelled south
ward from WyandOt and Lawrence, it seemed
to us doubtful if there could be better cOun-
try than we then saw. So we have as
good land in Minnesota, and in different parts
of Wisconsin, as we ever want to see. Part of
Western Michigan is still open to prGemptiOn.
and is especially desirable for the Timber that
now covers it and Fruit that it will readily
produce.
For young men who are worth 900 each,
we regard Virginia, Tennessee, and the CarOli-
mas, as very inviting Twenty such may buy
for $4,000 an estate large enough to cut up
into twenty good FARMS and then have half
their money left for Improvements, &C. BY
settling together and cherlshing fratenal
spirit, they may diminish by one half the
amount they must otherwise invest in teams,
implements, &c. We advise no poor young
man to migrate South alone; but let
twenty to forty go together buy an
estate judiciously located, cut it up,
or NJ sto loci,C
school, &c. and they will double the value of
their purchase in one year, and be in good
circumstances within ten years There are as
cheap lands and as good chances to-day in the
South as in the West; but man worth 500
may squat in the West on a quarter-section in
some section remote from present settlements,
and grOW into a completeness whereas we could
advise no one to migrate Southwark with less
than $500; while, if he goes alone and settles
among utter strangers, he will need far more
than that.
Understand, once for all, that he who takes
only his hands to the West and undertakes to
acquire a home by mere settlement, must pre-
pare for rough time. He must strike out
beyond roads, settlements, and all cyilizing
influences; he must work hard go ragged, and
live coarscy for some years, and endure many
hardships and privatiOns. If you are not
resigned to this or if your wife is not, better
hire out for q time, and thus acquire skill as
well as means. But to hirelings everywhere
and always we say, BE not content to live and
die hirelings; work hard and live frugally to
get something ahead, and whenever you shall
have secured the means, strike out at once for
a home of your own!
