A Savage Scene in Paris.

In visit which he paid on recent
afternoon to the Arch of Triumph to see
the effects of the bambardment,the Paris
correspondent of the London Daily
News found a compact and excited
crowd under the shade of the Turkish
Embassy. A horse had been desperate.
ly wounded by shell, and had been
abandoned by its owner. Immediately
a guard came and put the poor creature
out of agony with a shot. The horse
was then carefully bled,a two individ-
uals arrived with butchers knives, pre-
tended that they had been authorized by
the owner of the animal, and proceeded
to cut it up. handing large Jumps of hot
and steaming flesh to the eager crowd
around. The meat was cut into pieces
varying from pound weight to three OF
four times as much, and the people
around gave whatever they could afford
some 3D., some 4d., some sd. Never
had the Parisians the opportunity of SO
good bargain, and soon. nearly the
whole carcass had disappeared. Even
the bones were carried off by some to
make soup with. In the middle of this
savage scene a shell burst some little
way from the butchers and their custom.
ers. The fright was indescribable =
Many people threw themselves on wha1
remained of the carcass, while others lay
down in the large pool of blood which
surrounded the animal. When they rose
again they presented most singular ap
pearance With one hand some of them
still clutched piece of raw, bleeding
flesh, while their clothes, faces, hair and
boards were smeared with mud and
blood.

Civil Service Reform,

Most of the corruption in pdblic
places about Washington, can be traced
directly to the agency of Radical men,
bers of Congress They keep improper
persons in Office there, and either share
the plunder, or use the tools for polite
al advancement. A few days ago, Mr..
Fisher, late United States Commits
sioner of Patents, gave Il lecture in Gin
cinnati on his experience in Office, in the
course Of which he earnestly advocated
a reform Of the civil service, and "the
practical destruction of the present over.
grown and dangerous fabric of executive
patronage" He gave many examples
of the inefficient and corrupt means now
used to obtain Office When Mr.. FISH
er took his place, an examination of the
clerks in the Office was ordered, and
many of them we're dismissed for in
competency. Several Congressman i'm
mediately protested against this. The
next step was to establish a Board to
examine applicants for new appoint
ments; the competitive system was
adopted. and the number of clerks re,
duced. Mr.. Fisher adds the significant
fact that it was necessary to keep this
reform secret, lest they should be be
sieged by Congressman demanding that
the full number of appointments per
mitted by law be filed at once, in order
to provide places for friends. Since the
retirement of Mr.. Fisher, all the places
have been filed, and the political fur
naces are in full blast. More than one
third of the appointees in many of the
departments have no duties to perform,
but they are paid, and will be used to
do the work Of the men who had them
appointed. In this manner, the expen-
ses of the Government are augmented,
and taxation kept at its ruinous eleva-

~The adjournment of the Senate
without the usual formality of notifying
the President was not accidental. The
subject was mentioned and a committee
suggested, but for reason not explained
in public, but which is perfectly under
stood, Mr.. Conkling insisted upon alb
ruptly terminating the session, especially
when he came to know that Mr.. Morton
was anxious to have it briefly continued
for important executive business. The
plain truth is, there has been sudden
schism among the Administration lead
ers, and the firm of Morton & Co., is
now dissolved ty mutual consent. The
investigation about the Treaty led to
much personal bitterness, which time
cannot soften. And it is not among the
improbabilities, that Mr.. Conkling may
be taken down from the high horse
which he has heretofore been accustom-
ed to ride, with so many grand airs

How Gen. Schenck Brought Presi-
dent Grant to Time. b..

Correspondence of the New York SUM-
WASHINGTON, May 24.-Gen. Schenck,
who goes TO England, but remains can
didate for the United States Senate from
Ohio, waited on President Grant the
other day, and representing that he had
not single friend in Office in the State
where lie had SO long held high position,
asked to have the defect remedicd. The
President, expressing great concern,
asked Gen. Schenck to say what he wan,
ted.
Schenck suggested that as the two
supervisory districts of the internal rev,
enue for Ohio were to be consolidated,
his friend Robert Corwin, of Dayton,
might be appointed. The President
readily consented, and Schenck left in
happiness, Immediately telegraphing the
good news to Robert, of Dayton.
The next day, however, he learned
that the appointment had been given to
Dwyer, friend of Columbus Delano.-
Fastening to the White House, General
Schenck demonstrated The President
expressed great sorrow, but said that
Delano had made point on that Office
and he had to give way. Then Schenck
proposed compromise, which was to
leave the districts as they were, appoint
ing Corwin to the Southern and Dwyel
to the Northern District This was
agreed to, and Schenck left half mol Ii.
fed.
The next day, however, this was re
voked, but the Minister to England went
in rage to the President with such ef-
feet that Corwin's commission was is
sued before he left the White House.
Such is Grants nervousness about the
nomination for 1872, that half the time
he doesn't know whether he is afoot OF
a horseback.
