THERE is really probability that Sir John
A. Macdonald, the Canadian Premier il
about to try the extraordinary experiment to
which we referred the other day, and oppose
the ratification of the treaty to which he an.
pended his signature as member of the
Joint High Commission. The government
organs are paving the way for such comcal
denouement. 1t would seem ludicrous, if it
were not lamentable, to see the Canadians
insisting on mourning the danger of war and
the loss of thousands of lives and millions Of
dollars, besides their possible abandonment
by Great Britain, FOR the sake OF few paltry
goldfish and mackerel for which they are Oh
fered ample compensation.

The appointment by the President of
Board of Commissioners 10 carry into effect
the provisions of the Law, passed BY Congress
last March, authorizing the Executive TO
prescribe rules and regulations for the adj
mission Of persons into the civil service OF The
United States, is an act that will meet with
the unanimous approval of the people. Gen.
Grant Is a practical man, and though he has
said less about civil service reform than macy
others who have treated the subject in a
speculative way, the appointment Of such
men as George William Curtis and Joseph
Medlll Of the Chicago Tribune as members
OF the Commission shows that be makes use
OF his characteristic energy and saeaciiy when
the time Tor action has come. Both these
men ARE Journalists who have been paiticu-
larry unsparing In their criticism Of his adj
ninistraiion; but both OF them have made a
specially Of the sabject Of civil service ne.
form. A pig-heAded man. like Andrew John
son, would see the reform postponed iii the
middle OF the fiiiieth century before he would
appoint men who are neither personal fol-
lowers nor political supporters TO such posi-
lions. merely because they happen TO have
special qualifications Tor filling them. In
making such appointments Gen. Grant iur-
nishes an admirable illustration of the diiirr-
ence between obstinacy and fiTmness. Nor is
Il the FIST time he has done so. la The ease
OF san Domingo his feelings we've thorough
by enlisted. lie believed with all the quiet
intensity Of his nature that annexation was
desirable. He put forth every lawful effort to
effect the purpose he believed 10 be a good
one. But finding that a majority OF the
American people were Enthusiastically opposed
TO his scheme he gracefully abandoned it. II
Is not, as we understand, merely kept in
allegiance, but il is absolutely laid aside
Ia the matter of the civil service reform il
would have gratified a great many people il Mr..
Jenckes's bill, making definite provision by
law for the examination of persons who APP
ply for places in the departments, could have
been passed. But we are not sure that the
discretionary power vested by Congress in
such President as Grant will not answer the
same purpose. The functions of the board
he has appointed will of course be merely
advisory, but we have no doubt that they
will recommend competitive examinations
amounting substantially to the same thing
as those contemplated by the Jenckes bill
and that the President will adopt and put in
force their recommendations.
The reform of the civil service, supplement.
ing such magnificent achievements as the
settlement OF the Alabama claims and our
other disputes with England, the Indian peace
policy, the honest collection and disburse.
ment of the public funds, the rapid reduc-
ton of the public debt, The reconstruction OF
the onion and the preservation Of peace with
Spain and other foreign nations under circum-
stances Of unusual delicacy and extraordina
ry difficulty, will be enough to make the ad
ministraliOn OF President Grant one of the
most illustrious in our history.

The ARGUS thinks that if we can find no
better ground on which TO defend Senator
Hsmlin from the charge of turning Mr.. Sar-
gent out of office in order to obtain extra COM
pensation as Naval Officer, than the fact that
he never was Naval Officer at Boston or anv
other port, IL looks ,oorse than euer for him +.
1t says that we take advantage of mere slip
Of the pen, and that MFR. Hamlin was "Col-
lector Of Boston,. Certainly, but there is no
slip of the pen about it. The correspondent
ofthe Herald, whose SANDER the Argus re-
publishes, not only speaks OF Mr., Hamin as
formerly Naval Officer at Boston but of the
extra compensation which he claims as that
accruing to the position of Naval Officer and
not that OF Collector. This shows that the
mention oil the position of Naval Officer was
not due to inadvertence, and that Mr.. Ham
lin must be acquitted of the offence with which
he is charged.

JUsT now the entire Democratic press OF
the North unite in denouncing JEFF Davis for
his Atlanta speech. To be sure these organs
do not come up to the full measure OF abuse
that they poured out upon Mr.. Lincoln and
the Republican leaders when they advocated
Mr.. Davis's cause several years ago, yet few
OF them hardly disguise the fact that they
really wish that this Southern Democratic
Statesman had met martyrs fate at that
"sour apple tree" But the idea of these pa
pers reading Mr.. Jefferson Davis out of the
Democratic party is too preposterous for
sober comment. Are they blind to facts?
do they not know that nineteen-twentieths of
the men in the South who vote the Demo-
cratic ticket afectionately regard Mr.. Davis,
not only as the exponent of their principles
but their political leader? Have they so lost
their memories that they forget the ovations
with which he is received in every town
where he speaks and that, too,by Democrats?
Who are they who propose a "thousand
cheers for our beloved PRESIDENT"
BE careful, gentleman, you who so glibly
roll your fppant adjectives from your sharp
pens, be careful. JEFF Davis and the great
body OF the Southern Democracy that cling TO
him are devoted TO principle however wick
ed In itself, principle that you, as minions,
have supported for a generation; now, in
your anxious haste TO get at the federal PROV
ender In other hands, don't whinny too strong
and, above all, don't bray at your old master
too loud for he is yet the idol of all the men
In your party who stand TO the principle.
Don't hasten to read Jefferson ID. out of your
church for with him aud his crowd ii will be
small enough; but with them outside through
disafiection, its seats will be empty to desoIa-
ton. They have always dictated and you
have always obeyed. Just now when their
principle is dearest to them they will not even
appear to give it up to help you to Office.
