Mr.. Jenckes' Civil Service Bill.
Pi-Om Ue ~. y. HeraEd.

Fiom ute ~. y. Herald. ... ..
Mr.. Jenclles has spent great deal of time
unne cessarily on his Civil Service bill. The
only feature OF any value in 1t is that of put
ting candidates for Office through an examina-
tion to test their fitness. But this can be done
now without any special act of Congress.
Every secretary or head OF a department has
the power now of establishing a system of
thorough examination, and the President could
order that to be done at any time. 1t is an
administrative prerogative, just as it is the
right and duty of the managing man of any
business house to ascertain the fitness Of clerks
before he employs them. AS to removal from
office, that ought TO be left to the President
and his secretaries, where the power always
existed until the Tenure OF Office bill was
passed.
Efficient administration depends upon the
responsibility being placed in the heads of
the Government but under the Tenure of
Office bill or Mr.. Jenckes' Civil Service bill
the subordinates are in q measure independent.
The bill of Mr.. Jenclles is altogether unneces-
sary. All that is needed is the repeal of the
Tenure of Office law. Thus unsrammelled, the
new administration under General Grant will
be as well disciplined and effective as the
regular army. The General will hold the
secretaries responsible, and they again their
chiefs of bureaus. There is no way of restoring
the public service to anything like honesty
and efficiency but this. General Grant can be
trusted, and is just the man to organize
good administrative system if not hindered by
the intermeddling of Congress. The Tenure
OF Office bill should be repealed at once, then,
and the track cleared for the new President.

II. q. at Ottawa.
From The N. Y. World.

from ute ~. Y. WOTLQ,
Who said "Briton dearly loves q lord'
He was a narrow minded noodle whoever he
was. For it is not the Briton as Britop, but
the BritOn as a man and brother who loves
a lord. IL. g. is no BTiton. H. G. is man
and brother. Yet see how II. q. loves q
lord; nay, not only a lord, but even a barOnet;
ner a baropet only, but even a Knight ban
neIet, who is of no nearer kin to lord than
this, that the wives of both shall be called "my
lady"l
Here has one Sir John Young, doubtless a
most estimable person as BritOns and knights
banneret and X. G. BIS in this poor world go,
yet simply Sir John Young, come all the way
from Australia to be ''inaugurated" as Cover
nor General and Viceroy in and over her Bri-
tannic Msesty's Dominion of Canada The
ceremonies celebrated upon the occasion in the
brand new Canadian capital OF Ottawa were pro-
badly quite as pretty and as pompous as the
resources OF Ottawa, OF the Dominion OF
Canada, of Sir John Young, and the northern
temperate zone would allow them to be. The
interest taken in those ceremonies by the rest
OF mankind could hardly have been expected,
either by the Dominion Of Canada, or Sir John
Young, or by the British empire, to be OF a
positively feverish kind. But II. g., whether
moved by his innate passion for p0mps and
ceremonies or by the STRINGS of that new di-
plOmatio ambition which now boils in his
bucolic bosom, could not be happy unless he
beheld with his own eyes and with his own
pen described the august scene. So we have

If anything more were required to Justify
Mr.. Smalley's letter upon our Minister to
England it would be found in MIR. Johuson's
last publication. The sententious cable tells
US
"Mr. Johnson juStldes his friendly intercourse
with Land ana other gentlemen friendly to the

the example Of Generals Grant aud Sherman

man, General Grant mas entertained at his
own hruse q distinguish cd Confec crate leader.
He ascTibes the attacks upon him, in the
American news papers and elsewhere, to secret
dislike for the preservation OF peaceful Iela-
lions between the Two countries"
The charge which Mr.. Smalley brings against
Mr.. Reverdy Johnson is that as the repre-
sentative of the American Government, ne
has ostentatiOusly sought to do honor to men
who have been conspicuous for their enmity
to America. Mr.. Johnson confessss this but
msRes a plea in bar of judgment. He has
done nothing that General Grant would not
do, and he is attacked by the newspapers here
because we have a "secret dislil1e'' to peace
with England
Mr.. Johnson went to England under circum-
stances Of more than ordinary distinction. He
had been many years in public life. During
the war he was as much Of Union man as
could be expected from a Maryland politician.
Democrat, and the nominee OF Democratic
President, he had been unanimously confirmed
by a Republican Senate. He was preGmi-
nently the ambassador of the people. We did
not send him to the British Court as a party
man, but as an American, charged to defend
the honor OF his country, and preserve, as far
as possible peaceful relstions with England.
Above all things, it WAS hoped that his wis

the Federal Government, the common agent
OF all the States, was about to be made the in-
strument Of their destruction, rise and protest
against this most "Aagrant violation Of faith"
par alleled only by the base and perfdious
breaking OF the treaty of Limerick by William
of Orange and his successors on the British
throne, and take such measures as they
deemed necessary for the preservation Of their
property and the maintenance of their lber-
ties. They failed, not from lack of justice in
their course, but because the brute force OF
subsidized world was too strong for the "few
but undismayed" heroes "who wore the
grey" But these facts, not one of which can
be successfully controverted, will enter into
history, and compel verdict for the right in
spite Of all such "army reunions" as that
lately held at Chicago, and of the reckless as
sertions of ignorant and crack-brsined warriors
like this modern Tecu mseh.

filter, publishes notice Of his removal from l23
and l25 Magazine street, to l44 Poydras, between
Camp and st. Charles streets, where he will be

heretofore extended to him. It very generally
conceded, we believe, that Mr. Fleming has the
most varied and complete assortment Of chande-
liers and gas fixtures in the city; and as to bis
capsbiliy in the execution of his work, there are
hundreds who can testify. He is prepared to do,
at the shortest notice, any work in this line in
trusted to him, aud guarantees perfect satisfac'
ton upon the completion Of any contract. His
stock of fixtures, owing to the stringency Of the
money market, he is selling at prices below New
York cost See his card in another column.

this company doing the roofing. For economy,

with admiration at the unique and typical sign
of our friends, Messrs. Shepherd Hutchison, SIS
Camp street. 1t is certainly very pretty, and

designer. These gentlemen are dealers in china,
glassware and house furnishing goods, Of which
they have very large and well selected stock,
consisting of every desirable article in this line.
Housekeepers fitting up for the ensuing season
win study their interest and give these gentlemen
a call before purchasing, as their prices are ex-
tremely moderate.

FROM MONTGOMERY.
The Alabama LegisIature.

MONTGOMERY, August L. In the Senate to day
q militia bill was passed. 1t authorizes the gov
ernor to organize the militia when he sees
proper.
The disability removal bill was hotly discussed.
Mr.. Pennington and other Republicans strongly
urge the removal of disabilities. The native Re-
pubcans generally favor this measure, but the
Northern members oppose it. In the House Mr..
McCraw the speaker, got through bill removing
disabilities from the people of Chambers county.
This rs hoped to be the entering wedge for gen.
eral bill.
The common carrier bill, introduced by negro
from Mobile, is bone of contention, and is caus.
ing such hard feeling that the negroes are clsmo-
rOus for its removal, and the mover OF the bill
says if it does not pass it will cause serious dis
iurbance in Mobile. The bill provides that whites
and blacks shall ride in the same railroad cars
and in the same steamboat cabins.

CucuMBERs.-It does not seem to be very
generally known, says an exchange, that the
cucumber is one Of the most useful vegetable we
have. and can be dressed in greater variety OF
palstabe ways than any other than the tomato.
IL is better than squash, and more delicate than
the eggplant, prepared in the same manner; can
be stewed, fried, or stufied-snd above all, can be
parboiled, mashed up in batter and fried as
fritters, more pleasant and more easily prepared
than any other vegetable or fruit. When Gu
cumber becomes just too old to be used raw OF
for picking, il is then at its best for cooking
and may be used for that purpose even until the
seeds become hard. A raw cucumber Is for most
persons an iBdigestible sbomination, howeve
much they may admire its favor and odor.
