AppOintm cnt to once,

The question Of reform in tho civil
service Of the Government now bids
fair to receive the right kind Of atten.
ton. Tho board appointed to inves-
tiga.e this subject, has made a report,
and presented series Of rules for gui
dance in the appointment to Office,
Tho President ia special Message to
Congress says that after thu first Of
Jan, 1872, he will be guided by these
suggestions, but thinks Congress had
better legislato in tho matter, so that
future Presidents will have TO conform
to these rules.
The features Of tho plan 10 regard
to appointments, are First, entrance
into any branch of the civil service ut
tho lowest appointment; Secood, com
petitivo examination at that point,
ani at every succeeding stage; Third,
probation Fourth, promotion Fifth,
no fixed tenure. leaving the power OF
remocol with tho president, who, can
not, however, Rll tho vacant place, it
being required that tho successor shall
coms in according to the fixed rules ol
the service. This, of course, while
keeping in the hands Of the Executive
the power to remove iucompetents,
takes from him both the temptation
and the scandal Of acting from partisan
motives. He can no longer accommo.
date either his own or q Congressman
political or personal friends with q
place, inasmuch as the right to mako
most appointments is entirely removed
from him, and placed in the hands Of
a board, who can base their sctiou
on the result OF an examination. The
scheme is made to apply to all clerks
employed iu the custom or revenue
service all Collectors and Assessors
of Internal Revenue, all Collectors Of
Customs and thoir subordioates, all
Pcs,masters above o certain srade, ali
Cousuls, ail Indian Agents aud PEN
sion Agents, Ia fact, every officer Of
the Government. whether at Washing
ton or elsewhere, except . few Of the
highest officers, and q limitad number
in subordinate places, which the rule
specifies.

Cause Of Hard Times.

We are fast becoming . nation OF
schcmors to live without genuine work
Oar boys are not learning trades !;
our farmers sons are crowding into
cities, looking for clerksbips and Post
Oiices; hardly ono American girl 10
each hundred will do houscwork for
wages, however urgent her neod; so
we are sending to Europe for work
men and buying Of h0r artisans mil
lions worth of products that we ought
TO make for ourselves. Though our
crop Of Tascals is hoavy wo do not
grow our own Lomp. Though wo are
overrun with lads who deserve nagel-
lation, wo import our own willows.
Our women (unless deceived) shine
in European fabrics; our own men
dress in foreign clothes tho toys
which amuss our younger children
have generally reached US over the
sea. We are like the farmer who
hired his neighbours sou to chop his
wood, feed his stock, and run his err
rands, whilo his sons lounge at the
grog.shop, playing billiard, and then
wonder why in spite Of his best efforts
bc sinks annually deeper and deeper
into dobt, till the Sheriff cleans him
out, aud he starts west to begin again
We must turn over u now leaf
Our boys and girls must bo taught to
love labor by qualifying themselves 10
do it efficiently. We must turn out
fewer professionals aud more skilled
artisans, as well as food growers. We
must grow and fabrcatc two hundred
millions worth per annum, that wo
now import, and so reduce tho foreign
dobt that We havo 80 !ons and 80 sue.
cess'ul augmented year by year. We
must qualify our clever boys to erect
and run factories, furnaces, rolling.
mills, tanners, machine shops. etc. (;
to open and work mines, improve and
fashion implements, aud double tho
present produc, Of their fathers farm.
So shall we stem the tide of the debt
that sets steadily against our shores,
and cease to be visited and annoyed
by hard times.-N j Mechanic.

! mYsrER1oUs SHOOTING AFFA1f'

DR.. J. h. BROMLEY, a white man, claiming "
hs from Collector County, was shot at tne COT
ner of King and Market streets ABOUT hal,pa0S
one O'Clock Yesterday morning by an uuAuon
nerson. The doctors statement OF tne an"'I
ia. that. In company with F. 8. Gurus, q
friend. he was walking up King street Oh n's
way to the Pavilion Hotel, where tneS W.
boarding. At the corner OF Market streeC
thew met two white men and q negro, VINO
asked whether they would vote for machey VI
| Bowen. They replied that they were irom
the country, and would have nothing TO 40
Nth ,bo elect,1n Of either candidate. The
non without further ceremony, assaulted and
knocked Curtis and himself down, at the
same time firing three pistol shots, one Of
which struck him In the pack, and another
orazed Cnrtis's right shoulder. A policeman
came up directly, and the men who attacked
them ran of and escaped, while they were
carried to the Guardhouse. From this state
ment, that of the policeman who made the
arrest, and a colored citizen who assisted him,
differ materially. The policeman says that he
was attracted to the corner by apparent guar.
relling. Three white men were standing
there; BROMLEY, Curtis and another man.
The latter struck the two former with his
fist and knocked them both down. With
the assistance of the colored man above
mentioned he arrested all three of the men.
While carrying them to the Guardhouse
Brownley broke and ran. He lett the other
prisoners in charge of the colored man and
pursued Brownley, who, however, did not 90
yery far before he was brought to a sudden
halt by a pistol shot fred from an unknown
source. In the confusion that followed, the
white man who had knocked down Brownley
and Curtis made his escape. The policeman's
statement was established by the colored man,
and also by a white man who went upon the
scene about the time that Brownley attempted
to escape. Brownley was sent to the City
Hosp,tsl as soon after his arrival at the Guard
house as was possible. The wound proved a
slight one, the ball, a small one, having enter
ed the fieshy portion of the back a little below
the left shoulder, and lodged In the muscles.
He was walking about the streets yesterday,
and returned to the country in the afternoon.
| Curtis was unhurt.
