Presidential FdeEe OF Ciru SCR
rirr Reform.

Gon. Grant's anxiety for the reform
of tho civil service is curioualy Illus
tratcd in the appointments which he
has made Upon the theory that re-
form, ike charity, should begin at
home, he has appointed TO public
Offices nearly al his own aud his wiie's
relatives llisnoxt move in the direc-
tion of civil service reform was to be-
stow offices upon those from whom he
had received the most gifts, as for in
stance, A. 7. Stewart, Mr. Bore, and
the Hon. Hamilton Fish. As iurth-
er Indication Of bis regard for the
purity aud elevation OF the public ser.
vice. he conferred important Offices
upon persons who had rendered bin
services in securing votes for the rati-
fication of the Dominican job. A SON
in.law Of Senator Cameron and clerk
ex-senator p0moroy thus became bene-
ficiaries Of this branch OF Presidential
civil service reform. Another instance
OF the Executive solicitUde for the
reputation Of civil service Is his rclen-
tion 10 Office OF the notorious bribo.
taker, Bancroft Davis Mr. Motley,
on the other hand, upon whose integ-
rity there is not a shadow Of cloud,
has been dismissed because Ire was
recommended by Senator who is op-
posed to the Dominican job
If Gen. Grant is in earnest about
the reform of tho civil service, he has
no one 10 blame but himself if il is not
carried out He declares emphati-
cally that he wishes the proposed re-
form to apply not only to the clerks
OF the Departments, but to the persons
appointed 10 office with the consent
OF the Senate. BY whom are these
persons appointed Il not by the Presi-
dent Ii is his duty TO appoint only
fit persons, aud he is responsible for
unfit and disgraeelul appointments
He has notoriously disrcgarded this
duty, and appointed hundreds and
thousands Of persons with reference
not TO their fitness, but to his own
personal advantage and that of his re.
lations. Having thus debased the
public service of the country, he now
initiates the runaway pickpockei, who
hopes 90 escape from the hands Of
justice by crying "Stop thief" and
throwing his guilt upon innocent
parties. ~ J. Sua, Radical

EXIT VioroR HuGo. The French
National Assembly knows Victor Hugo
no longer. Yesterday he rendered
his resignation and abruptly Quilted
tho Chamber, because he was hissed
for advocating the legality of Carl
baldi's election II Is a pcculiarity OF
Victor Hugo and the other French
radials that they advocate in all seri.
BUSINESS what seems very absurd to
everybody else Garibaldi is an un.
naturslizcd foreigner, and one would
have supposed that thc invalidity of
his election TO the Assembly would
have been recognized and admitted
even by the men who voted for him.
Not So Victor Hugo and the Universal
Republicans OF France. They hold
that Garibaidi, being a Republican, is
a citizen of the world, aud il, conse.
qucntly, eligible TO legislate for France.
The absurd idealism characteristic of
Victor Hugo las caused him to col
lapse temporarily We expect. how
ever, that be will recover himself in a
few days ami astonish the world by
publishing an address to the French
people, aboundng iu explosives and
inflated rhetoric.

ALARMED. There is considerable
commotion among the Pennsylvania
Radicals in Washington, with refer
ence to the State nominating eonven.
tion which meets in Harrisburg in
May, 10 name candidates for Auditor
General and Surveyor General. The
offices alone are not so important, but
the election which takes place next
fall is looked upon by them as a pre-.
liminary fight to the Presidential con
test which takes place the following
year. A high Radical official from
Pennsylvania said the other day 10
Washington awe must do some.

feeling Of discomfort in our State, that

We also perceive by The proceedings
of the Legislature that another "Indi-
ana man" was killed politically we
mean,) in the Senate Chamber, the
same day, by extreme or "imnode-
rate" shrinkage, and had it not been
for the efforts Of Speaker Wallace,
a rhHe Radical candidate for GoEsr-
nor would have disappeared, much TO

Grants hackers In Congress have
stolen public lands and robbed the
United States Treasury, through rail

power of general plunder snow being
put into practice by Mr.. Grants
friends and supporters in the State OF
Illinois, TO an extent which has great
ly alarmed the citizens Of some Of the
dourishing towns out there. The
niggers Of those towns, during the
past thirty days of very cold weather,
have stolen the public sidewalks TO the
extent of miles. Think Of that, Phi
losopher Greeley. Your friend Bal
ley, the Revenue official, the man you
stated to bo "of simple and blamoless
life" YOU know, he only stole few
hundred thousand dollars and as this
"simple and blamoless' man supper

do less than steal, you know; but
your other political brothers, the Hi
nois niggers, who were never known,
either in tho State Of Illinois or any
where else, TO support oven one family
without the aid Of q neighbor's chick
en.coop, seem TO have dropped the
apnexation Of pullets and taken to the
purloining of wooden sidewalks 1t
is stated by a reliable gentleman from
ono Of the Western towns, that a
leading boss whitewasher, o nigger
preacher, and one of Mr.. Grants
strongest hackers, was caught with a
couple of sidewalks on his person, q
night or two since. Whole streets
have been denuded and pullcts are
for the moment neglected This il
very distressing to the tax payers OF
those villages, as new sidewalks will
be called for, but it is part Of the pro

CoRREcr - The Philadelphia Agt
says: We have not been admirers oI
Mr.. Charles Sumner; but tho Presi
dental spite, shown IN the mallreat
ment Of bis friend Motley, and the re-
moval of the Senator himself from the
head Of a Committee, because he op.
posed the San Domingo job, entities
him 10 our sympathy, in his present
position. Ia his place, in the Senate,
he has exercised his constitutional
functions ia opposing a treaty sub.
mitted TO that body. That it was the
pet, personal project of the Executive
did not deter Mr.. Sumner from doing
bis duty. Truly, We think he never
in his life cut better figure than he
does at present; and our military
President never showed himself in a
meaner attitude.
