Greeley and Civil Service Reform.
e From the New York Times.

Civil service reform is just now one
of Mr.. Greeley's hobbies. The essence
of the system he claims to be that no
one in Office is to be removed for poll
teal reasons, and no one out of Office
is to be appointed for political reasons.
Mr.. Greeley's theory sounds prettily,
but unfortunately he don't put it in
practice when he has an opportunity.
We give below letter in whic be de-
mands the removal of Mr.. Abram
Hyatt as Assessor in the Westchester
District, not because he was unfit, but
solely because he ais Seymour Dem
ocrat, and ought on no account to be
retained" Mr.. Hyatt, by the way,
with that forgiving disposition Of
which we see SO much nowadays, is,
like most of the Seymour Democrats,
one of Mr.. Greeley's most active sup
porters: *
NEW YORK TRIBUNE,
New YORK, March 10, 1869.
DEAR SIR: The bearer is my neigh
Dor and friend, the Supervisor of the
township in which l reside. | know
him to be capable, honest and deserv-
ing. He is q candidate for Assessor
in our Tenth (Westchester) District in
place of Abram P. Hyatt, who is a
Seymour Democrat, and ought on no
account to be retained. i commend
Mr.. Francis M. Carpenter to you as
every way worthy to be Hyatfs sue
cessor. Yours, HORACE GREELEY.
Hon. G. DELANo. Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, present.
In the following letter Mr. Greeley
approves the sweeping changes made
at the beginning Of Gen. Grants Adj
ministration, and respectfully sug-
gests that they should be completed"
AS one step toward their completion
he wants one man removed because he
is rich, and James r. Allaben, zone of
the true members of our late Assemb-
ly," appointed in his place. To what
Mr.. Allaben, was true in the Legisla-
ture, except his own interest, no one
ever knew. Having been elected on a
pledge to vote for Morgan for Senator,
he voted for Fenton. As for his emf
nent capability, that must be on the
theory exp0unded to General Grant
by Mr.. Greeley, that no man should be
appointed to Office who could earn his
living out of Office.
New YORK TRIBUNE,
New YORK, May IA, 1869. ii
DEAR SIR: The changes made in in
ternal revenue officers here are gener-
ally popular, and have increased the
efficiency of the service. respectfully
suggest that they should be completed.
In the Second District of our State
(Kings county,, Mr.. John Williams
has been Assessor from the first and
has grown rich. l ask that James r.
Allaben Zone of the true members of
our late Assembly, be appointed in
his stead. Mr.. Allaben is eminently
popular and deserving.-1
Yours, HORACE GREELEY.

In 1857. in the month Of July, the En-
press Maria Theresa was walking alone In
the mark of Schonbrun, reading, as 1t was
her wont,a bundle of papers she carried I'M
der her arm. She happened to pass by an
old cavalier of the guard stationed there to
watch the avenue. She noticed the good
man was snoring. She called him several
times, and succeeded in waking him only Dy
shaking her papers. She then told him 10
try and overcome sleep, in order to avoid
the punishment inflicted on drowsy sentl'
nels. The old reister having thanked her
his very best, she asked him if he knew
the empress by sight. He answered that
fifteen or sixteen years ago be had seen her
At Inspruck, but that ever since he had
not had the happiness to lay his eyes on
her. @Well," said she, 81 am the empress;
do YOU recognize me?" "What! is that

how fat YOU have grown. When saw
YOU at Inspruck you were, on my honor,
pretty; but now truly you are very much

swer, the great woman took no um0rage
on the contrary, she burst out laughing
and paid the sincerity of the good lout Will

she told row, for certain this time, she had

1 am dying, Egypt, dying;
Ebbs the crimson life-tide fast,
And the dark PlutOnian shadows
Gather on the evening blast.
Let thine arm, oh Queen, support me,
Hush thy sObs and bow thine ear;
Harken to the great heart secrets
Thou, and thou alone, must hear.
Though my SCARED and veteran iegiOns
Bear their eagles high no more,
And my wrecked and scattered galleys
Strew dark Actium's fatal shore
Though no glittering guards surround me,
Prompt TO do their masters will,

Die the death, TriumYir still.
Letnot Cesar's servile minions
Mock the lion thus laid low;
twas no foeman's hand that felled him
Twas his own that dealt the blow;
Here then, pillOwed on thy bosom,
Ere yon star shall lose its ray.
Him, who drunk with thy caresses,
Madly threw a world away.
Should the base plebeian rabble
Dare assall my tame at Rome,
Where the noble spouse, Octayia,
Weeps within her widowed home
Seek her! Say the gods have told me
Affairs, angels circling wings,
That her blood, with mine cOmmingled,
Yet shall mount the throne Of kings.
As for thee, star-eyed Egyptian,
Glorious sorceress Of the nile!
Light the path TO Stygian horrors
With the splendor OF thy smile;
Give to Cesar crowns and arches,
Let his brow the laurel Irvine;
I can scOrn all Caesars triumphs,
Triumphing in love like thine.

he proposes to paddle his canoe
down the river to New Or

feet long, with blade at each end, and long
sail and lib were the propelling appliances.
The GDolly Warden" is made of paper; with
deck of red cedar covered with paper. The
paper material is preventive of dampness.
which is the chief objection to wooden boats,
She has a strong shear by which, instead OF
tapering almost to the water at the ends,
she rises from a depth of ten and a half
inches amidship to twenty and a hall

feet in length with beam of twenty-eight

The "Dolly Warden" has two masts and
plenty 'of sail power, besides paddles.
The young man who is her mas
ter and crew, and has no mate,
is provided with waterproof tent materials,
SO that he can live in his boat in wet wealth

has concentrated provisions TO subsist upon

there is no earthly reason why Mr.. Cham
bers and his Dolly Warden should not have
a good quiet time.
