CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
1t has been the aim of the administration to
enforce honesty and efficiency in all public Off
ces. Every public servant who has violated fine
trust placed in him, has been proceeded against
with all the vigor of the law. If bad men have
secured places, it has been the fault of the sys-
TEN established by law, and the custom for
making appointments or the fault of those who
recommend, for governmental positions, persons
not sufficiently well known to them personally
or who gave letters endorsing the characters Of
Othce-seekers without proper sense of the
grave responsibility which such a course de-
wolves upon them. A civil service reform
which can correct this abuse, is much desired
In mercantile pursuits, the business man who
gives letter OF recommendation to a friend to
enable hlm to obtain credit from a stranger, is
regarded as morally responsible for the inteeri-
ty OF his friend and his ability to meet his obi
cations.
A reformatory law which would enforce this
principle against all endorsers of persons for
public place would ensure great caution in MAX
ing recommendations A salutary lesson has
been Taught careless and dishonest public ser

convictions OF the last two years. 1t is crafty

recommendation, Congress, in the ninth section
OF an act making appropriation for sundry civil

Ty1EsDAY MORNING, DEC. s, 1871.
r,.. pres;dent,s Message.

ro third annual message of President |
,,.ont is one of the briefest of the annual
messages ever presented to Congress. 1t Is
thoroughly business-like document, inform
ing Congress and the country what the Au-
ministration has been doing the past year,
and briefly making such recommendations do
seem most important. President 1raht very
brefyand modestly refers to the crowhlhSgiory
of his administration, the Washington treaty
in connection with the notice of the relations
of the Government with other nations. His
remarks relative to Cuba, coming from sol
der who never fought battles with threats,
will have a salutary effect. His recommended
tons to Congress to fix penalty upon slave
holding or slave dealing by persons claiming
the protection of the American flag, will COM
mend itself to that part of the country that
elected him, and thoroughly identify the Pres
ident with the most progressive champions of
human liberty. The recommendation for the
sweeping away the internal tax from all but
few articles that are luxuries at best, and thus
muster out an army of officers will be most
cordially approved, as will also his judicious
suggestions relative to the modification OF the
tariff
In the brief account of the execution of the
Ku-Klux law in South Carolina, the President
gives to all but those who sympathize with
those outrages complete vindication Of his
temperate yet firm course.
The high moral ground taken in reference
to the execution of the laws in Utah, will COM
mend itself to the country at large.
No part of the message will be more &C
ceptable to the intelligent part of the country
than the argument of the President for some
scheme of universal amnesty, coupled as it is,
with the earnest desire that the old citizens of
the States lately in rebellion would take an
active yet judicious part in the local govern
ments.
The declaration of the President that he
adheres to the humane policy with the In
dams because it is right, will meet with gen
eral approval.
The determination of the President to
bring dishonest officials to speedy punish
ment, enforced as it has been by vigorous &C
ton in that direction, will have an excellent
effect. 1t is hoped that his suggestions to
those recommending ofice-seekers will be re-
membered by those who make future recon-
mendations. The earnest appeal for thorough
reform in the civil service places Gen. Grant
in the front rank of the real reformers, and ii
is the desire of the whole country that Con-
gress may promptly second the President by
timely legislation.
The message as a whole will commend it.
self to the mass of the people who elevated
Gen. Grant to his present position, not for its
beauty of diction or its discussion of princi-
pies, but rather for the high ground which he
takes and for which no argument is neces-
sary.
1t is evident that that the document has
been greatly marred in transmission-so much
so that it may be justly doubted if the Presi-
dent would renew his recommendation for a
postal telegraph after seeing his message in
in the daily papers.
The Portland daily press., 1871-12-05
The Proposed Stealing of a Nation.

A certain bandit crew that has always
found shelter and field Of activity in the
United States is affected by the spectacle now
presented by Mexico very much as a select
party of vultures would be at the sight of a
eceased horse. As might be expected the
spirit of Burr, Walker and Soule is abroad in
the land, and if the hoarse demands of the
filibusters are not satisfied by the fitting out
of another marauding expedition against Mex
ioo, after the manner of that most wicked one
of1a46, there will perhaps be independent
forays into the unfortunate country. There
is happily no reason to anticipate that the
government will hearken to any Immoral sug-
gestions touching Mexico. AS might be ex-
pected the Satanic Herald shouts to Gen.
Grant that "now is his opportunity" 1t
points to the distracted condition of Mexico,
with revolts in every department and pro-
nunciamentos issued in every town-strong
holds falling into rebel hands and treachery
everywhere, even in Juarez's own army.
Unrestrained by principle, it makes itself the
mouthpiece of the lowest and most danger
GUS passions. But its appeals can awake no
responsive echo in the breast of the Chief
Magistrate. Though soldier by profession,
no human being ever showed more marked
Discrimination to enter needlessly upon that
field of action where he won his brightest lae-
-rels---Tro ulan VINO has gone almost be-
yond prudence in keeping clear of a collision
with insolent, irresponsible Spain, who has
come nearer universal pacification of the
Indians than any President before him, and
who regards the treaty of Washington as the
browning glory of great career, will listen to
no tempter that points to Mexico as affording
sphere for the display of military genius.
The fact is that we could not afford to take
Mexico as gift. 1t would be equivalent to
an addition of more than one hundred mill
ion to our national debt. The safety of re-
public is in the homogeneity of its people. A
greater peril can hardly be imagined than
would arise from an increase of the complica-
lions existing South Of the Potomac by en-
bracing in the body polite some millions OF
ignorant, halfcivilized Spaniards, negroes,
Indians, "greasers, and half-breeds-people
who have little notion of a central govern
ment ofparamount authority, and none what
ever of the intelligent exercise of political
rights. Their normal attitude toward the au-
thorities is that of revolt, and their most sol
emn vows of allegiance are not good for
weeks service. Even if we came by Mexico
through popular vote, it would take an ar
my to hold it. But annexation could be eff
fected only against the most energetic pro-
tests OF such patriots as there may be among
the people, and what estimate can reach the
awful ultimate cost of such useless acquisi-
ton? Better San Domingo, thousand
times.

FLOUR.

PORTLAND, Nov. 81, 1871.
To my former Customers and the Pubic generally:
RETURNING THANKS for past favors, would re-
spectfuy invite you to No So Commercial street, di-
rectly opposite the Clock in Thomas Block, where
can be found large and fine assortment of the best
grades Of ST. Louis FLOUR. Having determined to
give my exclusive attention to Fleur alone, shall
make it point to purchase none that will fail to give
perfect satisfaction. The following will give some
idea of my success in selecting good flour. During
the year that occupied the Japan Tea Store, ending
Nov. l. retailed 1000 bbls. of four 400 consecutive
barrels without the return of single one, and only
IA bbls. returned during the entire year. This
unusual success was largely owing to the quality of
-four selected and partly in the manner which it was
sold, and that was to recommend it precisely what it
would prove to be. This will BIZ my future course
MY flour will all be bought from first hands direct.
which will enable me to retail it at the lowest whole
sale prices As 1 have record of every barrel of
flour previously sold, and the purchasers name, by
reference to which can judge very nearly what grade
of flour will suit the same customer.
Very truly, W. II. HALL,
sN no22eodtf Late of the japan Tea Store

BY making treaties with the Indians the
government has always recognized them as
separate and Independent nations so far as
the management of their own domestic gov
ernments is concerned. In consequence of
this policy the-Greolr- Indians still tofd nc
groes in slavery and it yet appears to be an
open question whether or not the fourteenth
amendment applies to red men as well as
white The District Attorney for the Yves
tern district Of Arkansas is in quandary
about it and has sent to Washington, the
source OF all light, for information. 1t may
yet be necessary to really make the constitu-
ton the supreme law of the land to abandon
this traditional policy of the government in
treating with the Indians.
