Our Member of Congress Again.
From the Auglaize Democrat,

From the Auglaize Democrat,
1t is with unfeigned regret that we
do again, what we believe it a duty
to do-comment with censure ON the
course of our Representative in Con-
gress. We do it now, because re-
terring to the comments ofthe dem
ocratlc papers of the district as to
his vote on the Ingersoll resolution,
looking toward an issue of some
S44, 4,0O0,O 900 of legal tenders, he puts
himself before his constituents in a
card, and says we "never mention
ed his name but to abuse, defame
and SANDER him. We appeal to
our readers and to the files of our
paper, to prove that we never did
anything of the kind. We submit
to the Honorable gentleman, that no
abuse-no slander can be deducted
from the article, that appeared week
before last on the subject of his
strange vote, so grossly misrepre-
senting his constituents. We simply
commented in plain way on his
course and said not half what the
people of all parties in this region
felt. We "abuse and SANDER" no
body; but, were we to let such con-
dnct as Mr.. Mungen's pass without
note, comment or censure, we GER
tainly would be rcmiss in our duty
to the gallant democracy, who have
generously supported us for 10
years, as an humble exponent of
Democratic principles. We retract
nothing of what we have said-we
reiterate it all. We have said moth
ing of his speech on 'sRepudiation,' -
that was called for in no way-pro
voked by nobody-because he was
sensible enough to say none but
himself was responsible for it. Yet,
Mr.. Mungen says in his cards ''the
representative is accountable to his
constituents for his acts and votes .
In this he invokes the expression of
als constituents and, las one of them,
we say his ''act'' of reading a speech,
as the representative of the 5th Dis
trict, supporting reputation, was a
very foolish one, for he represented
nobody in the District.
The reason he gives for his vote
on the Ingersoll resolution, perhaps
would avail more, had they been
given at the time; but they are en-
ltirely inadequate at whatever time
given, and none knew it better than
Mf. Mungen. We were not before
aware that our Congressman had
become so exceedingly conscien
tious as to let the cross of a de-
eide his vote on an important sub
iject. But it is even so. 1t reminds
US of an old aboltionist who, TWEEN
Fly years ago, refused to let his
daughter, dangerously ill, take the
medicine, left by the physician, be-
cause it contained a little sugar
made by sLAvELAEoR! The daugh
ter died.
We advise Mr. Mungen to be as
quiet as possible and bring to task
as few as possible for censuring his
unwarrantable course.

most unknown in our State. But,
with dense population crowding
into towns and cities, with vast
wealth accumulating in the hands OF
few persons, or corporations, it is
to be apprehended that the time is
coming when judges elected by a
popular vote, for short official
terms. and poorly paid, will not pos
sess the independence required to
protect individual rights. Under
the National Constitution, judges
are nominated by the Executive and
confirmed by the Senate, and hold
Office during good behaviour. 1t is
worthy Of consideration whether q
return to the system established by
the fathers is not the dictate of the
highest prudence. l believe that a
system under which judges are SO
appointed, for long terms, and with
adequate salaries, afford to the cit
izen the amplest possible security
that impartial justice will be admin
istered by an Independent Judiciary
/ forbear to consider further at this
time, the interesting questions which
will arise in the revision and amend
ment of the Constitution. Convinced
of the soundness of the maxim that
"that government is best which gov,
erns least would resist the ten.
tency common to all systems to en-
large the functions OF government
The law should touch the rights, the
business and the feelings Of the citi
zen at as few points as is consistent
with the preservation of order, and
the maintenance of Justice. If every
department of Government is kept
within it's own sphere, and every off.
icer performs faithfully his own duty
without magnifying his office, har-
mony, efficiency and economy will
prevail.
Under the Providence ofGod, the
people of this State have greatly
prospered. But in their prosperity
they can not forget him who has
won the battles, nor his widow, nor

other sufferers in our midst, who are
entitled to sympathy and relief.
They are to be found in our hos
pitfalls, our infirmaries, our asylums,
our prisons, and in the abodes of
the unfortunate and the ering. The
Founder of our Religion, whose spir-
it should pervade our laws, and ami
mate those who enforce them, by
His teaching and His example, has
adm onished us to deal with all these
victims Of adversely, as the children
of our common Father. With this
duty performed, we may confidently
hope that for long ages to come our
country will continue to be the home
of freedom and the refuge of the op-
pressed.
Grateful to the people of Ohio for
the honors they have conferred, I
approach second term in the Exc
cutive office, deeply solicitous to
discharge, as far as in me lies, the
obligations and duties which their
partial judgment has imposed.

THE CIVIL SERVICE QUESTION.

For some time, in Congress and
through the press, the above subject
has received considerable attention.
We have read number of articles
written in favor of a Civil Service
Bill, and are free to say that we find
ourselves obliged to differ with the
friends of such q measure. We hold
that, while the greatest care should
be exercised in the selection of men
to fill the various civil offices of the
Government, no law should ever be
sanctioned by the American people
which would tend to foster an aris
tocracy of Office holaers. We be-
lieve in no superiority of blood. No
man is born to hold Office for life.
In some parts of Europe men hold
office because Of hereditary descent,
without regard to qualification or
worth. And such are very often
the meanest men on earth. They
are an irresponsible class, destitute
of regard or respect for the common
people, and we hope the day will
never dawn when such system will
be tolerated in this country. 1t is
true that because of political claims,
incompetent men are often allowed
to creep into Office, but such an evil
cln be avoided. One of the best
qualifications that can be required
of an applicant for office, it seems
to us, sh ou,d be conclusive proof
that such applicant has managed his
OWE business with consumate skill
and efficiency. 1t often happens
that men who have shown them
selves utterly incompetent to make
arespectable living in ordinary pur-
suits. are appointed to office of re-
sponsibility. This is great wrong,
indeed, against which the people
have right to protest. But the re-
cently-born idea that because Amer
ican citizens have not been drilled
in Office from infancy, they are
therefore disqualified to hold office,
is absurd. The American people
are eminently practical, quick to
learn and sure to succeed in what
ever they undertake. Were not
our people almost destitute of prac-
tical experience in the art of war,
before the late rebellion, and can
there be found, in the hist ory of any
other nation, more brilliant and won
drous achievements =?
Again, when the present Admins
tration came into power an entire
change of office holders took place.
The veteran officers were dismissed
and green ones substituted. What
is the result? A most gratifying
one. The revenue Of every depart
ment has been greatly increased,
and the national debt is being rapid
ly paid off, by a. a"green" President,
Secretary of the Treasury and their
subordinates. No matter how faith
full, experienced and efficient an Off
Ger may be, after reasonable Pc
riod we would have him give way for
some other, although green as an
apple in June, providing he is
worthy. No man knows anything
till he learns it. We believe in ro
tation in office. It is one of the
most admirable features in our sys-
tenn OF government, to which we
hope the American people will cling
with eternal tenacity.
The policy inaugurated by Presi-
dent Grant of promptly removing
an unsatisfactory official, as in the
case Of Ashley, and others, will be
heartily approved by the electors of
the republic.

Mr.. Feval tells this story of Dickens: 1t
was after London season when Fechter
found himself indebted to the management
$4,000. As he turned the corner to his hotel
he heard, '.HOw are you, Fechter, my dear
fellOw" 1t was the CHEEKY voice of Dick
ems He told him with some amount of feel
ing how he was situated. Dickens ex-
pressed no compassion, but shook hands
and wished him good night. He thought it
hard, but ''such is friendship" Only the
next morning the manager looked Fechter
up. ''The matter was not SO pressing as all
that, my dear sir, said he. 'sWhat do Won
meang' "Why, about the $4,000. Charles
Dickens came and handed me the cash
on your behalf at twelve o'clock last
night"
