on the civil service reform sent to Congress

10 the Senate and House Of Representanues;
In accordance with the act Of Congress, approx
ed March 90. 1871, ! convened a commission Of
eminent gentlemen % devise rules and regulations
for the purpose Of reforming the civil service
Ihelr nbuTS are now complete, and | transmit
herewith tie report together with the rules
which are recommended Tor my action. These
rules have been adopted and will 20 into effect On
the first day Of January, 1872 Under the law
referred TO- as interpret it, the authority is al
ready invested in the executive 10 enforce these
regulations. with full power 10 abridge, alter on

deemed advisable. These views, together with
the report of the commissioners. are submitted
Tor your careful consideration rs TO whether fur
Their legislation may be necessary in order 10 ear
ry out an effective and beneficial civil service re-
form. II left b. me without further cUngressiOn-
al action, the rules prescribed by the commission
ers under the reservation already mentioned will
be faithfully executed, but they are not binding
without further legislation, on my SUCCESSORS
Being DESTROYS OF bringing this subject 10 the at

pnnying report to enable me 10 SUI gest definite

strength which Congress can give Inc 10 enable
me to carry cut the reform in the civil service
recommended by the commissioners and adopted
u take effect, as before stated, on january /,
1879. The law which provides for the conyen'
ing OF commission to devise rules and regula-
tIuns for reforming the civil service authorizes,
think, the permanent organization OF a primary
board, under whose general directions all exam
nations Of applicants Tor public Office shall he
conducted. There is no appropriation u con
tinue such Il board beyond tho termination Of il,
present labors. | therefore recommend that n
proper appropriation be made To continue the
service OF the present board Tor another year, and
in view Of the fact that three members of the
board hold positions in the public service whlcl,
preclude them from receiving extra cumpensa
ton under the existing laws, that they be author

In Russia there is no writ OF
habeas corpus, Military or
ders are supreme. The civil
authority is subordinate to tue
military power, In the Uuit-
ed States also, it only requires
the proclamation Of President
Grant to spend all civil gcv-
ernment in any State, and to
substitute military rule. Pies
ident Grant announced last
Spring that he had this power
that he could use if in any
State Of the Union, and lie has
used It in several localities Ii G
present year. BY The law Of
Congress under which be acts.
he is authorized to crush Gov.
ernors, Judges, and Lcgisla-
Cures--to abolish all law, IL
fact, set up his own will, and
give effect to that will by mar
tial orders to a hired soidiory.
No wonder the people Of the
South, where Grant has sabsCi.
tuted his will for constitutions
and law, have fled from their
homes; leaving their business,
their crops, and their farms and
stock to the mercy of those
who come in uniforms will
drawn swords. But is this
liberty? Is it a republican
form of government?

annum.

For three years President
Grant has been the chief oh
sticle in the way Of a complete
restoration to civil rights Of
the best class Of Southern
citizens. 1t has been by his
recommendations to Congress
that the intelligent and tax
paying citizens of the Soutl
have been debarred entirely
from exercising the rights Of
citizenship, and compelled to
submit to have their propert,
squandered by taxation by
rascally carpet-baggcrs and
Ignorant negroes without the
right even to protesting against
the injustice, without sub
ting themselves to arrest
and imprisonment as distulberr
of the peace. By his extreme
policy the entire law-makine
and w-idrcing power in some
Of the Southern States was
placed in the control of tn,
Legislatures composed o.
carpet baggeps who had nc
interest whatever but 10 fill
their pock cts at the easury,
and negroes so ignorant tina
each one had to be furnished
at the public expense, with q
secretary to read the proceed
ings for him. This system
oppression would no doub
have heen. continued, had no
| the President discovered tha
carpet Gager and negro rule
had b come a stencil in the
nostrils Of all sensible men, and
that even lis stubbornnes>
would not withstand the force
Of pahlic opinion, Grant sees
that the carpet,baggers cannot
aid him in a denomination,
and consequently bids for the
support OF the more Intelligent
aud honest Of the Southern
people, by saying in his
message III It lie does not "See
tie advantage or pr6priety Of
excluding men from office
merely because they were be
fore the rebellion Of standing
and character sufficient to be
elected to positions reqnirirg E
them to take ali oath to sup
port the Constitution Of the
United States" If President
Grant had taken this position
two years ago, there would
have been no occasion for the
establishment of Military rule
in any Of the late rebellious
States.
