lated the trust reposed in him has
been proceeded against with all the
vigor of the law. If bad men have
secured places, it has been the fault OF
the system established by law and
custom for making appointments, or
the fault of those who recommended
for government positions persons Lot
sufficiently well known to them per-
sonally, or who give letters indorslng
the character of office-seekers without
a proper sense of the grave RESPONSE
bilities which such course devolves
upon them. A
CIVIL SERVICE REFORM
which can correct this abuse, is much
desired. In mercantile pursuits, the
business man who gives letter OF
recommendation to friend to enable
him to obtain credit frem stranger,
is regarded as morally responsible for
the integrity of his friend and his
ability to meet his obligations. A re-
formatory law which would enforce
this principle against all indorsers OF
persons for public place, would in
sure great caution in making recon-
mendations. A salutary lesson has
been taught the careless and the dis
honest servants, in the great number OF
prosecutions and convictions of the last
two years. 1t is gratifying to notice

place throughout the country in bring

to them, and in elevating to public
office none but those who possess the
confidence of the honest and virtuous,
who it will always be found comprise
the majority of the community i'll
which they live.
In my message to Congress one year
ago, recommended a reform in the
CIVIL SERVICE
of the country. In conformity with
that recommendation Congress, i'll the
ninth section of an act making apprO-
priations for sundry civil expenses of
the government, and for other pur-
poses, approved March 3, 1871, gave
the necessary authority to the excel
tive to inaugurate civil service reform,
and placed upon him the responsible
ity of doing so. Under the authority
of said law | convened board of gen
tlemen, eminently qualified for the
work, to devise rules and regulations
to effect the needed reform. Their
labors are not yet complete, but it is
believed that they will succeed in de-
wishing plan which can be adapted to
the great relief of the executive, the
heads of department and the mem
beers of Congress, and which will re,
dound to the true interests of thepub'
lie service. At all events the expert

G. RUSSELL & Co, Canton, Ohio, had on
exhibition in the agricultural department,
near the center and in the north side, frat,
the Russell mower The manufacturers
have labored to make this machine as
simple as possible, believing the more di-
rect the attachments. tbs better. Their
efforts in this particular have enabled
them to offer to the agricultural world, a
machine stripped of all superhuous at
tachments, many of which are placed on
machines under the pretext of afording
soma faacied convenience, when IN reality
faev only increase the bulk and complica-
ton. and are placed there at the sacrifice
of those parts which give strength and
durability. The drag bar of the Russell
is attached under and in the centre, thus
producing an equal pressure on both
wheels, a perfect balancing, which renders
the handling as easy as that of an ordinary
two wheeled vehicle.
Second. mower with dropping attach
nnent They have iabored to secure the
same advantages Of simplicity and dura-
hilhg in their dropper as the mower, and
an examination will show that they have
succeeded. Their rear cut enables them
TO have a larger reel than any other in
use, which reaches over and gathers up the
nalien gram.
Third, the self rake attachment The
same manner Of connection is used for the
rake and reaping attachment, that Is to
throw all the weight in the centre of the
track. A flexible, yet positive, motion is
secured to the Rake by driving it with a
sexOcket wheel. Reels are so arranged on
the Rake heads as to gather the grain and
place it on The platform in the most salts
factory manner, and the Rake arms are
attached to the center-head IN q manner
that enables the operator to deposit the
grain on the ground ia good condition and
entirely out Of the way. Their machine,
,either as mower or combined. is certainly
worthy of attention. and the gentlemen IN
scharge will with pleasure point out the
many advantages of the Russell in more
satisfactory manner than we can write o.
