The Civil Service.
An earnest desire has been felt to correct abuses
which have grown up in the civil service OF tho
country through the defective method of making
appointments Offces have been regarded too
much ss the reward OF political services Under
the authority of Congress rules have been estab-
fshed TO regulate the terms OF Office and the
mode Of appointments. 1t can not be expected
that any system Of rules can be entirely effective
and prove perfect remedy for the existing evils
until they have been thoroughly tested Nv actual
practice and amended according 70 the require
ments OF the service. During my term of office it
shall be my best endeavor TO so apply the rules
as to secure the greatest possible reform in the
civil service OF the government, but it viii re-
Quire the direct action OF Congress to render the
enforcement of the system binding upon nv sue
eessors, and hope that the experience Of the
past year together with appropriate legislsti0n
by Congress may reach a satisfactory solution Of
this question and secure TO the pubic service for
all time practical method of obtaining faithful

Naturally this document opens With al
auusion TO the Boston fire and a lengthy
self gloritication over the award of the Ge-
neva Tribunal. The sore subjec S
of Mexico and Cuba are taken
up only to be dropped, while we
get glimpse of Gen. Sickles interfering
with the internal economy of Spain that
must have been CALLING to the high blooded
Castilians, aud rejecting no credi, on
our offcious propsgsndism. The Treasury
figures seem all right after the discrepancy
between the monthly statements aud the
total for the year is ingenuously explained.
No doubt it suits the bondholders, but the
strenuous appeal against any reduction
of taxes viii be damper On the
aoiling millions. The reference 10
indebted Southern railroads is sadly brief
to those interested, while the advocacy of
Southern canals is coupled with the sug-
ges!ion Of huge riparian canal as sub
stitute FOR the Atlantic Ocean. Neither
does sold Probs.n receive that at
4ension that bis merits would command
at the hands of another. The
sshoddy rottenness Of our navy and the de-
cay of our commercial marine are con-
fessed, and no remedy suggested beyond
further subsidies; in other words, we farm
'ers e the interior must pay more taxes to
make naval princes of a few New
Erglanders. The postal telegraph is spoken
of as project determined on, without con-
descending TO the first iota Of argument
'On a subject that would nearly double the
dangerous patronage of the Executive. The
Ku-klux stories invented and exaggerated
in the exigencies of political contest, are
taken for SO much truth by the Chief Magis-
rt-ate Of the nation, and ne distinctly an
.nounces 10 change in policy toward
the subjugated South, The exsltation
of the Bureau Of Education as
the cause of the universal interest
.on that subject is certainly "chlldlike aud
bland"-almost as much so, as the eulo-
GUM on the territorial government
Af The Federal District. One word
of force and Ere we find iD this
message: it is directed against the Mormons;
let us see what will cone of it. The con-
Guiding words on the civil service are
absolutely non-committal, and we can
make nothing out of them except that the
President has progressed some distance
backward in the last twelve months.
