THE POSTAL SERVICE.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM RECOMMENDED.
Always favoring practical reforms, re-
specuully direct your attention to one
abuse OF long standing, which would like
TO see removed by this Congress. 1t is a
reform IN the Civil Service of the country,
would have it go beyond the mere fix
ing of the tenure of Office of clerks and
employees, who do not require the advice
and consent of the Senate TO make their
appointments complete. / would have it
govern not the tenure but the manner of
making all appointments. There is no
duty which so much embarrasses the eN-
ecutve and heads of departments as that
OF appointments, nor is there any such ar
duous or thankless labor imposed on Sem
ators and Representatives as that of find
ing places for constituents. Tho present
system does not secure the best men. and
often not even fit men for public places.
The elevation and publication Of the civil
service of the Government will be hailed
with approval by the whole people of the
United States.
REFORM IN THE MANAGEMENT OF IN
DIAN AFFAIRS.
Reform in the management of Indian
Affairs has received the special attention
OF the Administration from the Inaugural
ton TO this day. The experiment of max
ing il a missionary work was tried with
few agencies given to the denomination
of Friends, and has been found TO work
most adyantageOusly All agencies and
uperintendencies not so disposed of were

Congress reducing the army renders army
Officers ineligible for civil positions. Tho

A work purporting to relate some OF the
important incidents of the war OF the rebel

from the insurgent standpoint, will doubt
less commend itself to many of our citizens.
The typographical execution is only fair.

This is designed by the author to be an
extremely pathetic and pious book, some
