How THE PRESIDENT WILL MAKE HIS
APPOINTMENTS Washington despatch
to the New York Tribune says:
There seems to he an opinion prevalent
here that the President intents filling all
the offices within his gift without. consulta-
ton with Congressman as to the necessl-
ties of each locality. This is wrong mi
preston. A prominent Pennsylvania Con-
gresham called on the President and was
favored with an interview, during which
the Congressman asked General Grant if it
were true that he would consult no one on
any of the appointments, The President
seemed happy to have the opportunity to
state that the stories to that effect were
untrue. He said that he had so far made
but very few appointments, and because
most of them were men of his own
personal choice, the story alluded to had
arisen. He had established system gov
erning appointments, to which he intends
strictly to adhere. All applications for Of
flee must come to him through his Secreta-
aies. their endorsement will receive first
attention. He prefers that they select their
own men. He will hold them responsible,
and consequently he wishes them to have
every advantage in the selection OF their
subordinates He thinks that the Con-
| gressmen should be consulted, as they are
| the proper persons to judge of the wants
| of their respective localities, but by con-
sultation he does not mean that Congress
men shall dictate to, and command him.

THE NEW HAMPsHIRE ELECTIoN.-A
correspondent at Concord, New Hamp-
shire, writing under date of March II, sums
up the result of the recent State election in
New Hampshire, as follows:
"Another victory has been added to the
long list of Republican triumphs in this
State, and the people of New Hampshire
may well congratulate themselves upon
the result of Tuesdays contest. Returns
have been received from 203 towns, the ag-
gregate vote being 63,527, Mr.. Stearns re-
ceiving 1896, and Mr.. Bedel 29,S37-the
Republican majority being 1853. The
same towns last year cast 76,s67, Governor
Hartman receiving majority of 2,5s1, so
there is net Republican gain in these
towns of 1,272 votes. The remaining 30
towns will not vary the result essentially,
| as they gave the respective candidates last
year very nearly the same vote, conse-
quently it is safe to place Mr.. Stearn's ma
jority at $500.

The New York herald., 1869-01-03

Our President elect is famous for his reti-
cence, but there is one thing he is not silent
about, and that is the necessity of reform in
the government. He has spoken several times
on this subject, and always forcibly, showing
how impressed his mind is with 1t, and that he
is resolved to bring about reform. He is going
to be a reformer, and there is great need of
such President. However, it is no light work
that lies before him. 1t is work that will re-
quire all the resolution, skill and dogged per-
severance that characterized his closing cam
pagn against the rebellion. Nearly every de-
partment Of the civil service is disorganized
and inefficient. Corruption has become so gen
eral and defiant that it mocks the law and is
without shame. In fact, robbing the government
is no longer regarded immoral The Treasury
Department is a sink of iniqnity. The reve-
nue. service, in connection with the whiskey
ring, is the most astounding and bare
faced organization Of government robbers
with which any country was ever cursed.
A hundred millions year-more than
sufficient to support the current expenses
OI RONtTuHcut WuCu cCuuVlulCaHy uuHliis-
tered--have been stolen by revenue thieves
This has all been the result Of ineffcency and
maladministration Of the government. Then,
Congress has shown itself to be the most cor
rupt and recklessly extravagant public body
that exists or that ever WAS known in this
country. Andrew Johnson was Its convenient
6ete noire. While abusing him as the source
of all mischief, for the purpose of throwing
dust in the eyes of the people, this corrupt
body has been carrying out all sorts of jobs,
mously and saddling the country with an over
whelming debt. II has made poor Johnson
the scapegoat Of its iniquity. But this cannot
be done with General Grant. He 10 fresh,
untrammecd and the successful candidate of
the majority in Congress. Let him follow,
then, the honest promptings Of his nature,
begin in earnest the reforms hesees are needed
in the executive departments, making the
head Of each responsible for the faithful execu-
ton of the laws, and cut down the expendi-
lures to the lowest figure. Let him do this in
spite Of the trammels put upon the Executive
by Congress and he will place that body In
the dilemma either Of having to yield to his re-
forms or to bear the odium OF thwarting his
honest efforts to purify the government. He
may by such bold stand and by setting such
an example reform even Congress ITSELF AT
all events he will be sustained by the people
and the Independent press. IF be should tenn
porize or abdicate his constitutional power in
administering the laws he will be in trouble
from the start and his administration will be
failure. lie occupies the advantage ground,
and If he be as skilful n civil affairs as 10 war
we shall have reform.

The Brooklyn Bridge.

Apparently we may now regard the building
of bridge over the East river as certain, and
may even contemplate an early commence
ment Of the work. Five million dollars are
ready to begin with; for 1t is understood that
the subscription of million and half dollars
by this city is to make up the amount that
must be subscribed before the Brooklyn sub
scrption Is due. The total cost Of the bridge
proper is to be eight million dollars, and its
termini will be, in this city the open space
just east of the City Hall, the junction Of
Chatham and Centre streets, and in Brook
Ign the junction Of Fulton and Main streets
Passengers will be propelled from one end to
the other of this line in vehicles moved by
stationary engines.
Practically this grand structure will make
Brooklyn and New York one city, and that
city will inevitably be the greatest in the
world. BY making the points at the two ends
OF this bridge only five minutes apart and not
subject TO the accidents, delay and other
nuisaaces OF ferry or ordinary street car
transit we overcome what has hitherto been
a great obstacle to the proper growth and
room in the proper direction. The East river
ia no longer limit. There is still room on
the upper end Of New York Island, but il is
inaccessible. Now the whole Of Brooklyn,
Williamsburg and the suburban districts, as
1.sll az the level fields Of the country beyond.

MIR. Jenckes' Civil Service BIZ.

The Civil Service bill of Mr.. Jenckes, which
has been pending some time before Congress,
though good enough in principle, Is altogether
unnecessary and the work spent upon it labor
in vain. The main object Of the bill is to
create efficiency in the public service by put
ting the candidates for Office through an ex-
animation and to check the indiscriminate and
general removals that now take place under
every change of administration. But this could
all be done now under existing laws, If the
President and heads Of departments would do
their duty striotly with Wow to promote the
public service. The President can lay down
at any time rule for the examination Of can-
didates for office. Every secretary can do tho
same. Even the subordinate heads of depart
ments can, unless forbidden by their chief It
is o necessary function Of administration, and II
the power has not been exercised generally, or
as 1t should have been, the President and secre-
taries have neglected their duty. But it may be
said that the proposed law is to compel the
heads of the government to perform this duty.
Such interference with their action and dis
cretion would impair instead Of improve the
administration; for it would make the mbordi-
mates Independent in measure of their
superior and take away all responsibility
Besides, the heads of departments would
neglect the law, override it or get round it i'm
some way to suit their preferences in dis
pensing the patronage of the government.
The effect ofsuch law would be to embarrass
still more the action of the executive govern
ment and widen the conflict between it and
Congress. The only way to make the admins
tration in all its branches efficient is to give
full responsibility to the President and the
President to the secretaries, and to hold each
one to that. The country would look to the
President for the faithful execution Of the laws
and the proper performance of all duties under
his administration, and he would look to his
secretaries for the same. That is the way all
properly regulated business establishments are
managed, as well as governments. In fact,
there can be no good government where
proper discretion of action and full RESPONSE
bity are not left with the chiefs. II is the
same in civil affairs as in military. Instead,
therefore, Of Congress spending its time use
lessly on Mr.. Jenckes Civil Service bill IL
should repeal the Tenure of Office act and all
other acts unnecessarily obstructing the
Executive, clear the track for General Grant
and give full scope for an efficient administra.
tion under his Presidency.
