In their report to Congress, Grants
Civil Service Commissioners say: "It is
not easy to compute, in figures, the ex-
act economical difference between good
and bad system of the civil service. It
is, necessarily, matter of Inference and
OF comparison between the probable
operation of q careless aud 4 careful me-
thod. But it is calculated, by those who
have made careful study Of nil the
facts, that one-fourth of the revenues OF
the United States are annually lost in the
collection" It is high time for tho peo-
pie to demand reform in the civil service
when such state of things exists. On
the 18th instant, the amount of internal
revenue collected was 1926, 355. 38. II
one-fourth of the amount due from TINT
source was lost in the collection. it is
easy enough to see that $433. .8O7. II
should have been collected, and That tho
nice little sum of $108, 451. 70 was lost
lost amid the foliage of the woodbine
which twineth Sc luxuriously about the
pockets of the vii .uous officials by whom
the revenues are handled. This is but
the transaction of y single day. And
we have no assurance that it WAS better
day than usual for losing internal revc-
nuo, either.

bleak, bare and oheerless, life is robbed
OF some Of ite ohiefest blessings. The
outward beauty OF country dwelling .
matter of no less consequence. It's
adornmept, though simple and inexpen-
sive. may yet be made to add new
charm to the inner comforts. Flowers
over the porches, and shrubs and flowers
on the lawn, are natures arts, aud,
though cheap. are in their natural beau
ty more attractive than any other thing
that the costliest nrt can supply.

Mexico is not only upon the verge of
another revolution, but one which it ap.
pears will prove successful. The for
tunes of war are against Benito Juarez,
and the days of his Presidency are about
told. The rebels, under command of
Trevino and Quiroga, have been every
where successful. while the redoubtable
Escobedo has DECLARED himself in favor
of Lereda-the most prominent candi-
date for the Presidency to succeed Jua-
req. The Republic of Mexico has boen
bitter mockery, and there seem but
two alternatives for the oppressed peo-
ple-either annexation to .he United
States or the resolution of the Govern
ment again into o monarchy. Perhaps
Maximiiian would have proven theirIbest
ruler, after all; certainly, since his
death, Mexico has not had better.

AIR LINE RAILRoAD-The survey and
location of the Air Line Road, which
has recently been completed, show the
following elevations above tide water

the line, l.6l6; the Tugalo River, At the
crossing, 700. which will be crossed on
bridge only 80 feet high; GreenviIle, s.
c.. 1850; Spartanburg. 1850; at Kings
Mountain the elevation is the same as it
is at Gainesville; Charlotte, N. c., $50.
The greatest divergence from an air line
is at Mr.. Kimsey's. which is little over
four miles. The line runs within two
miles Of Toccoa Falls. aud fourteen
miles from Tnllulah Falls. The distance
from Atlanta to Charlotte is 26O miles.
The line skirts the mountains for 200
miles, and yet there will not be tunnel
on the road, and the heaviest grade will
be SO $40 feet per mile. This is tri-
umph Of engineering skill but rarely
equalled. and probably not excelled. in
railroad engineering.

with over 5000 hands ct work. It
is the intention Of the authorities to
have the cars running through by
the first OF November next.

That great fraud, 1.-The Wharton trial, Z"
has ended in the acquittal of Mrs. Whar-
ton. The history Of this case forcibly
illustrates the murderous system of prao-
tice in the courts of this country-n sys-
tenn by wbioh the conviction Of an in
nocent person is rs easily arrived ut as
the conviction of the guilty. Had Mrs.
Wharton been poor woman and with
out friends, she would havo been SEN
fenced to death, though there is NOW no
doubt that she is an innocent woman.
Fortunately she had friends aud means
enough to insure the attendance of re-
spectacle and intelligent witnesses, who
amply refuted tho foolish charges upon
which she was nrraigned.

THE RA1LRoAD SITUATION. The
Charleston Courie7- savs.

THE RAILROAD SITUATION. The
Charleston Courier says:
A recent publication, in several inte-
rior papers, as to certain movements OF
capitalists, buying control Of the South
Carolina Railroad, has been the subject
OF considerable attention in business
orioles here for the past week. So far as
We can learn, and on authority, the
transfers OF stock do not amount to
figures OF consequence in the direction
OF control, and 1t may as we'll be stated
that the purchases must be on very
much larger scale to accomplish such
result. The present price, 834, is not
more than 81 or $l.25 advance from the
lowest point of quotations, and it would
seem not unreasonable to infer that the
absorption of the moiety Of 10000
shares, necessary to control, would ad-
vance the price most decidedly IF thus
the movement is q real one to effect the
purpose spoken Of, We think it would be
well for holders of shares to pause be:
fore parting with property at one-third
of it's real value, when delny would give
double present figures, should the par
ties having this purpose in view be in
earnest. So much for present surround
ings. Az to the motive which has in
duced Il New York gentleman of means
to make purchases in South Carolipa
Railrond stock to the extent of 5000
shares, We can only judge from tho fact
that he is a large stockholder in the
Central Railroad of Georgia. aud that it
is openly spoken of as q movement Of
that company to bottle up it's rivals,
forcing Augusta and all West of it to
give Savannah their business. We
would add, in this connection that a
leading director OF the Central Railroad
of Georgia was said to be in the city last
week, and proposed lease OF the South
Carolina Railroad, the terms of which
we did not learn. The interests of this
city are 30 identified with the West by
railroad connections, paid for in large
sums of money, that it would seem
strange enough to be excluded from the
benefits accruing from these sources;
yet still it is no announced in the papers
of the interior, and, according to some
of these oracles. Charleston is to be
"fenced in," &C.; but, GU the other
hand. land is cheap between Charleston
and the Savannah River, the Port Royal
and Savannah Road are On the card, and
it would be strange sight that city of
this size should sink out OF commercial
sight ut the nod OF Ia rival corporation.
Will tho Georgia Road (Angusta to At
lnnta) acquiesce in being q dependency
of the Central, and will Augusta remain
quiet, with her old port closed to her?

the Middle States, is constantly exposed
to sudden alterations of cold and heat,
and is further liable to suffer from

demands short period OF rest. 1t is
such things as these, combined with hard
work, that break down, after awhile, the
strongest constitution. Reason would

mental strain, in the open country and
in pure atmosphere, would be more
likely than almost any other to reach the

The Financial Difficulties OF Spain.

1t appears by the Geographic news from
Madrid that the deficiency of the Spanish
budget, which is to be submitted to the new
Cortes, amounts to the enormous sum of one
hundred and thirty-three millions of dollars.
1t is said, consequently, that another loan is
contemplated to meet the wants of the Treas
ury. We noticed not long since reported
scheme to raise by loan or otherwise sixty
millions Of dollars for Spanish exgencies in
Cuba. Spain needs, therefore, nearly two hun
bred millions Of dollars to carry on the gov
eminent at home and in the colonies over and
above the available resources of the Treasury.
How is it to be obtained? Looking at the low
credit of Spain at the interminable war in
Cuba and at the instability of the Spanish
government, it is evident such loan or loans
can be raised only at ruinous rates if at
oil. France, with oil her recent war
disasters, might have little difficulty in
raising such O sum or even larger one
because her credit stands high and her manu-
featuring and other industries are surprisingly
productive; England, too, has vast surplus
production and enormous capitalized wealth

which signifies nothing, and coupled with
the verdict Of Vermont, the Judgment of
Maine means that in New England the lines of
the administration party remain unbroken
In October, from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indi-

thing in the way Of election returns which,
taken altogether, will pretty clearly FORE
shadow the issue Of the great national field

present indications, October will maintain the
political music Of September. Moral Poll
