CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

The Cincinnati Commercial, independ-
eat thoroughly in its political course, can
not refrain from speaking out its honest
course on the civil service reform ques-
ton. Its commentator in this matter is
all the more weighty because it hes not
spared the President in other matters. On
the question of reform 1t says: ITO the
President is due the credit, not only of
giving this much-needed reform the bene-
fit of his official sanction in his second an
nual message Notwithstanding the Oppo-
sition of Secretary Boutwell, and majori-
ty of the Republican politicians) but also
of naming as the head of the Commission
one who had with great frequency CEN
sured the policy of his administration.
The severe and eaustic criticism of Hdr-
l1er's Weekly upon the San Domingo an
nexation scheme, the kuklux bill, and
other Administration measures were wide
ly copied by the press. The position of
Mr.. Curtis, as the political editor of that
journal, as a fearless critic and independ-
ent Republican, as one of the earliest and
dUlcSI Vi ClhAb SCANISO iOlOAih,
and, quite recently, as formidable candi-
date for nomination as Governor of New
York, rendered him a prominent mark
for Executive favor or disfavor. That
Grant has chosen to make this appoint
ment is creditable to his sagacity, and the
fact that he has kept the whole personnel
of the Commission so free from those un-
mitgafed nuisances and humbugs-the
mere party politicians is creditable to his
good sense. We believe it is a Commission,
as constituted, that means business.

a deplorable sight; the resting places OF the
dead are much defled; the monuments
have beeu greatly injured by the nring;
collins have been broken, and the remains
lie scattered over the ground. You may
measure the dead not by numbers but by
the rod. They lie in double tier con the

announcement at MaryyilIe,

Last night, the 18th of June, the graduates o
the Maryville College gave their final exhibi
ton. A crowded house greeted them. There
were five young men who, having completed
their course as prescribed by the Faculty of the
College, were about to enter the world in the
character of ministers of the Gospel.
The Maryville band was present and enlivcn-
ed the occasion with good selection of music,
The first Grafton was delivered by Mr.. A. n.
n. Carson, of Morristown, Tenn.-subject,
Christianity the only reforming influence"
He spoke remarkably we'll and plain, so that
all in the house understood every word. His
grafton was we'll written and did credit to
himself and the College.
The next Grafton was delivered by 6. s. w.

speaker spoke verylplainly and distinctly. Craw-
ford spoke as if he meant every word he said.

manner. When we consider the age of this
young man, (who is not twenty years of age,)

beginning to the end of his Grafton. Subject

The fourth Grafton, by G. L. Tedford, of
Maryville-subject, Saul the persecutor-Saul
the Christian" He seemed at home on the sub
ject, and did very well. We have but one fault
to fnd-he spoke SO low that he could not be
heard at the back of the building: After his
speech, he pronounced the valedictory to his
classmates, teachers and fellow-students in such
manner as to deeply affect the whole audience.
Prof Lamar addressed the graduates in a few
touching and appropriate remarks BE re-
GREETED that the diplomas had not arrived, as
they had been sent for since the 18th of May.
Prof. Bartlett then gave an account of the
workings of the school. He regretted that the
Faculty had not come up with what they had
promised to do in regard to the scholars, but rs
the buildings would be finished against the next
term, he hoped TO come far beyond his expecta-
tions.
After piece of music by the band and the
benediction pronounced, the audience were dis
missed, all feeling that the ffty-second anniver-
sary of the Maryville College was grand sue
