OUR CIVIL SERVICE

We don't remember to have seen any
thing so well taken off and at the same
time SO facetiously as our present system
of civil service in the following paragraph
clipped from a prominent New York
paper:
"The great work of reforming the civil
service, which the President recommend
ed Congress to undertake, and which Con
press in It's turn authorized him to under
take, has Just been pushed on by the
sudden removal of Mf. Moses Grinuel

FROM the post Of naval officer Of this port,
and Mr.. Palmer from that Of appraiser
We believe the frs4 4intimatiqn Mr. Grin
nell received of fis removal he got from
the annopncement in the morning papers
that the name Of his successor haG been
sent in to the Senate. The object of this
wsy of doing things is, We believe, to pre-
vent officials falling intp tlI9elcihargy and.
stolid content so Characteristic of'tke off,
cial classes of down trOdden peoples Of
Europe. American officers on the other
hand are kept in state of healthy aprre-
hension and uneasiness, which makes them
frisky, active ard wide. awake, Ike the
application Of pepper or terpen;ine which
dealers make TO tender parts CT their
horses before showing their PAGES. No
officer who goes home, as most Ameriean
officers do, without feeling sureshe will
not find himself dismissed in the morning,
can ever be a drowsy or sluggish man.

The Washington Republican says that
since the advent of Secretary Brlknap in
the War Department there has been a
very material reduction in the number of
officers on duty in that city. The appear
aace of brass buttons about the Capital
had, it is said, very irritating effect on
the Secretary of War, and hence the rea-
son for diminishing an unnecessary force
