CIVIL SERVICE REFORM

While it is very generally conceded that
there is much need of reform in the civil
service, the best way to accomplish the
work has not yet been devised. The sub
ect is one that seems to have attracted
TIE earnest attention of President Grant
from the fact that he has repeatedly
urged in messages to Congress some ac-
ton on the part of that body in regard to
the same. In conformity with the recon-
mendations made by the President upon
this subject the first session of the Forty
second Congress gave him the necessary
authority to inaugurate system Of civil
service reform. The President, in refer
ring to this subject in his late message,
says:
La my message to Congress one year ago,
| urgently recommended reform in the
clvil service of tie country. In conformity
with that recommendation, Congress, in the
ninth section OF an act making an apprO-
piiation 'r sundry civil expenses of the
government and for other purposes, an
proved March 80, 1871, gave the necessary

TEE sNUB DIRECT,

\ Memphis dealer in coal oil, or some
such enlightening agency, writes to Mr..
Highly, of this city, that the expenses III
cident to the port Of New Orleans will
prevent TIE capitalists of that Tennessee
money market from helping the iron barge
line with contributions. or the promises
OF such. Just our idea. Goods will come
to New Orleans when they can get out
without being consumed by port charges
What concerns us directly at present is to
mitigate the outward expenses on freight,
which being done, the men with grain
and OIL cake to send abroad will see that
their merchandise is sent this way at once.
The evil that we suffer under is similar to
one that sometimes affects merchants:
they buy badly. and are consequently
forever selling higher than their neighbors.
Our business is to forward When we
offer the tobacco farmer Of Kentucky
superior inducements IN the way of for
wardlnS his produce, We may rest assured
he viii send his Logsheads this way.
The facilities of river transportation
are such as to give US the advantage if the
interior dealer could only be convinced
that he would be as fairly dealt with at
TIM, port as he is in New York. Iron
barges will result when the demand
for their use arises. Start freight
this way by Offering it a superior
outlet to the world, and not only
one line of barges but dozen will spring
into existence to do the carrying. But as
we make the shipper pay too high for his
freights, so We also charge him too much
for the financial accommodation that he
is forced to obtain in New Orleans. Our
rates Of discount are too onerous and
our port charges too exacting to suit free
emporium. and until we abate
something Of our exactions in these re-
Spects, we may expect Memphis to turn
up her nose at us.

THE VACANCIES IN THE SENATE

Our neighbOr, the Times, seems a GOOD
deal worried about the vacancies in the
senate. 1t has repeatedly, Of late called
the attention of Governor Warmoth to
the existence of these vacancies. and
urges him to call elections to fill them.
The Governor would no doubt like to
please the Times, and everybody else, if
he could do SO and follow out what he
conceives to be his duty. He evidently
does not believe the law obligates him to
move i'll this matter before the Senate
notifies him what vacancies exist and
requests his action in the premises. To
have pursued different course might
have subjected him to tie charge of ex-
ceedlng his duty, and thereby causing
an unnecessary expense to the State.
When Senator Fish death was made
known here, 1t was argued by persons
ambitious of Senatorial honors that it was
the duty OF the Governor to call an cleo
ton Immediately to fill the vacancy TINS
occasioned in the Senate. He did not
heed this unseemly haste in those who
were then anxious for an election, dcubt-
less feeling that he should await the ac-
ton OF the Senate before ordering an cleo
ton. Some time after this Senator
Pierce died, creating another vacancy in
the Senate.
1t was again urged that the Governor
should then call elections to fill these
vacancies, but Governor Warmoth having
no doubt made up his mind in the first
instance as to what the law required of
him in such cases, adhered to his first de-
cision. The law specifies that it shall be
the duty Of the Governor to order these
elections after he is officially notified that
vacancies exist: and he no doubt deems
1t necessary that such official notice shall
come from the Senate. If Governor
had acted upon the advice Of
lom, Dick and Harry. the State might
