Republican National Convention.
How it Works.

The Advisory Civil Service Board organ
lied to-day by the selection Of George Will
liam Curtis as president and N. D. Connolly,
Of Philadelphia, clerk. The Board seem to
think these rules were placed IN force some
what earlier than was necessary. Members
of Congress are most nonplussed by the new
order of things, and grow very indignant
when heads of departments and bureaus refer
them and all their applications for appoint
ments to the competitive boards selected and
to be selected to pass candidates for office.
The vexatious delay and examination are
most likely to negative the influence of con-
gressmen in the line of patronage for politi-
cal purposes. ZETA.

About 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon a
young man named Stewart, employed in the
laboratory and wholesale drug store of Fred
erick Stearns, at No. SO Woodward avenue,
was instructed to carry into the basement a
box containing twelve bottles of rhigolene, Il
volatile fluid used by dentists, and which
quickly explodes when brought into contact
with flame. In descending the stairs the
young man made misstep, it is supposed, as
he dropped the box on the stairs, and the
next moment the whole basement wasa sheet

Special telegram to the Dispatch.

WASHINGTON, D. G., January 5, 1872
The main topic Of discussion continues to
be the probabilities Of trouble with Spin,
although, as heretofore stated, there is
nothing Of official character indicating sus-
pension Of peaceabie relations. The appre-
hension grows out of the fact that an avail
able naval force is being put in condition for
active operations. Ton-cladS that have been
rusting in nayy-yards for years are. being
brought into requisition, and will be sup
piled with officers and crews as fast as ext
gences Of the naval service will permit. Or
ders were issued from the Department to-
day assigning Commander ellis to the COM
mand of the ron-clad Mahopac, now here ;
and Commander Benham to command the
Canonicus, now at League Island. It will
take some time to get these vessels in read-
ness for sea service. ~ & tIT TIMos.

turc Of Mexico is certainly proba-
lem, the solution of which is of the
deepest significance, both as it ef-
fects the welfare of her own citizens
and the cause of civilization and
humanity. It is to be deeply deplor-
ed that country SO richly gifted
with every material element Of great
ness, and every natural facility for
accomplishment of a glorious desti-
ny, should be the prey Of intestine
wars and instructions, which period
ically decimate her population and
bankrupt her national treasury.
That the United States are deeply
interested, both geographically and
politically, in the speedy deliverance
of Mexico from the overwhelming
evils with which she is afflicted, can-
not be gainsayea but how this can
|
be successfully accomplished. and
our national honor remain unfair
nished, is the perplexing question.
On the one hand it is proposed, in
the interests of humanity, to extend
the moral support and sympathy Of
our government to the ruling pow
ers, in the hope that thereby the res
toration of law and order will speed
ilv harmonic the revolutionary ele-
ments which now reign supreme.
On the other hand, it. is contended
that annexation or protectorate is
the only elfectual remedy, from the
fact that since the adoption Of a re-
publican form of government in 1924,
her people have uniformly demon
strated their incapacity for seli-gov-
crnment. We trust that the wisdom
of cur statesmen will devise some
plan for the suppression of her intes-
tine struggles, and her speedy res
toration to peace and prosperity
