civil service fheIOrm.
One of the ddties to be performed by our
State Convention which assemblies in this
city next Thursday is to frame a new decara-
tien of principles, In ordinary times this
TART of conventions work requires no great
amount of thought or care But in the pres
ent transition state of political analfs' when
old issues are passing away and new ones are
coming up. the preparation OF platform
calls for the most careful reflection. Some
thing more than the ordinary commonplace
is necessary. The new issues must be met,
and any party that expects permanence must
take such a position on these new issues as
shall command the respect of honest and pro-
gressive citizens. There is one question of
the highest Importance on whicE the Repub-
lican party should lose no time in taking a
decided stand, and that is the question of Civ
il Service Reform. The working of our pres
ent system is in many respects unsatisfactory,
and there seems to be quite general convic-
ton that it may be improved by cautious
use of competitive examinations, and by en-
ploying such other tests of fitness as expert
ence shall suggest, verifying their results by
period of actual service ON probation. The
reform is based upon the idea that fitness for
office on the part of the candidate is second
to no other consideration. The President,
heads of the executive departments, and
members of Congress, need to be relieved OF
the opportunities of Office seekers and left
free to perform their political duties. We
hope, therefore, thatathe convention will in
sert platform in favor of reform in the Civil
Service, and approving the steps already taken
by the administration in that direction.
Our State conventions should be organizing
the public sentiment in favor of Civil Service
Reform, so that in 1872 it may become part
OF the national policy of the Republican
party. The Republican Congressional Con-
vention in this district took decided ground
IS subject last year, and the party &C.
! additional strength by nominating a
date who supported the reform.

To the Editor of the Press.
The preliminary steps have been taken to
induce capitalists to invest in the erection of
| mills, for manufacturing purposes, at this
place. The town of LimingtoD, in town meet
| ing assembled, have voted to exempt from taxa
tion. for term of ten years after the erection
OF mills, all the capital invested in manufac-
turing in that town. The power, on the Linn
lngton side, at this place, is sufficient for cot
ton or wooden mill and the railroad furnishes
facilities for transportation as favorable az can
be desired. The timber cut and put into the
Saco river, this season, is greater in quantity
and OF better quality than for several years.
Tobias Lord, Esq, has about one and half
million, the most of which is pine, of a supe-
rior quality, which will be worked up into
sugar boxes headings &c, while the smaller
timber will be sawed into dimension timber.

THE HAY CROP.
Mr.. Lord has fully demonstrated the fact
that more depends upon the cultivation and
enrichiDg moving fields than upon wet or dry,
cold or hot seasons. He has two acre lot, on
the the Limington side of the Saco river, that
will produce not far from two and half tons
to the acre, and lot of ten acres which will
come nearly up to two tons to the acre, viii e
many of the farms in town will not yield
hall ton to the acre. As far as my observation
has extended, new and well-cultivate1 fields
promises full average crop, while land that
has been run out or not highly enriched will
not produce enough to pay for cutting. Far

SAN Francisco, May S.-The Grand
Jury have found several indictments for
libel against Deyoung i Co., proprie-
tors Of the Chronicle and w. F. Higgins
aRepublican committeeman. The Sun
day Chronicle contained two columns Of
scathing criticism, being an expose of
the press and doings of the Republican
committee. On Sunday night w. F.
Higgins a Republican committeeman,
attacked Mr. W. II. Deyoung at the
Lick House, striking him on the
head with a heavy cane. Deyoung
defended himself with a billiard
cue with which he dealt some
heavy blows at Higgins and afterwards
clinched with him. Higgins head was
struck by an iron spitton. The by-
ISLANDERS separated the two and Higgins
drew a Derringer, threatening to shoot
Deyoung. A gentleman named T.
Condler, who was among the bystand-
ers, secured the pistol before it could
be used. At the close of the melee
Devoung appeared uninjured, while
Higgins had several severe cuts about
his face and head The Chronicle is in
depep9ent in politics.

The Juarez Party Triumphs I'm the
Final Vote on the Guerrero Cues
tiOn.
New YORK, May S.-A special dis
patch from the City Of Mexico states
that the Juarez party triumphed in the
final vote on the Guerrero question, the
vote being ninety-lour to nine. 1t was
the test question for the administration
of the ministerial crisis. 1t is not now
imminent that Juarez will keep Rimero
and Mejia as long as they will stay in
the Cabinet. The election campaign is
as violent as ever. The revolutionary
element is strong. Comparative peace
reigns in the interior Of the country so
far, though each political party accuses
it's opponent Of bribery, dishonesty, hor-
rible outrages on the rights Of the peo-
pie, and disregard for the future peace
of the country.
The period for the claim Of the Com
mission has been prolonged one year,
and the treaty has been signed by Min
lister Nelson and the Mexican Secretary
of State. The resolution which was in
troduced into the United States Con-
gress touching the Lower California
question is being discussed at length by
the Mexican press.
