Public Virtue.

We cannot too much admire the expires
sions of admiration for civil reform tuat ai7
put forth by the defeated and disappoiIftea'
There has been no more thorough partisan
in the Union, we believe, than Mr.. FoRNEY,
of the Philadelphia Press, and late Secretary
of the Senate. Yet he is perfectly in love
With civil reform. He has followed the for
tunes of party and superintended the divi-
sions Of the spoils, and has found out how
much evil there Is in 1t. aud thus exciams:
"When the practices of private business
are introduced into public affairs, and only
the competent and faithful are appointed to
public Office, we shall realize the blessings OF
q perfectly free and enlightened Govern.
ment, and not until then"
"Sweet are the uses of adversely" We
can hardly suppose that had HARTRAEFT been
defeated the Colonel would have INDUCED
this sage reflection. Certainly those who
supported HARTRANFr have very different
opinion of civil reform. Indeed, the leaders
of the victorious party are said to be In no
wise pleased with civil reform. and that an

Colonel FoRNEY and his colleagues who
support the President will have enough to
do to beat them of, and we fear they will be-
come faint-hearted before the struggle is over
and abandon the fold. If they will stand by
the President, and he continues earnestly to
maintain his position, the support of the en-
tire Liberal party will be given to them.

BAcKsIID1SG on THE CIvIL-SERvIcE CUES
T1oH.-The Washington correspondent o.
the New York Herald says:
"The pew-bown hopes Of ciyil-scryict
advocates have withered under the appoint
ment of L. Edwin Dudley, secretary ant
chief manager of the Pittsburgh Soldiers
Convention, but n foreigner to the Indian
service. to be Indian superintendent fol
New Mexico in place Of Nathaniel Pope, who
has been removed, it is said, at the direct
instigation of General Howard, though the
Board of Peace Commissioners are alleged
to be conscnting parties. There are several
agencies in the supcrintendency, and TIC
ciyilservice reformers claim that the promo
ton of one Of the agents was due to at least
the spirit of the civii-serylce rules, and that
n departure from them to favor an ineXpc
rienccd stranger is indeiensible."
Dudley will be remembered in Virginia rs
the secretary of the Republican Contra
Committee OF this State in the Walker
Wells campaign.

The Third Term

The superserYiceable ultra Radicals have
bccO quite ready to express the desire that
General GRANT should be candidate for re-
election. This sentiment is especially found
amongst the selfdcbased seuthernerS who
have eagerly Inundated themselves and are
ever seeking TO- attract the attention OF the
Government by excessive Unionism and love
for GRANT. Parson BRowNLow is but the
,nou.l-pieec OF great many who just now
profess SO much for GRANT, but who would
promptly whistle him down the wind the
moment they discovered that their fortunes
would be improved by ral'ying TO the sup
port of somebody else.
How GRANT receives this tblrd-term sug-
gestioa the country would like to know. We
have the following in a Washington letter to
fine New York Herald, which the reader may
take for what it 10 worth. We rather think
that 1t is true: aat 5E $50
at is freely asserted by friends and sup
porters OF the Administration that the late
third-term letter Of Senator Brownlow gives
great offence to the President Us being
wholly foreign to his personal feelings and
incompatible With his respect for the great
rarity which has elevated him for the second
and last time TO the highest placer the Gov
erpment. The President was not disposed
toGttach any consequence to the letter. both
in consequence of the physical intirmities
and mental yagaries OF the Tennessee sena-
Ipe and the too ready abasement of native
sols,t.e.n politicians OF the dominant school.

Water-Supply,

The cities of this country have grown 80
much faster than was anticipated forty years
agn that it Is now discovered that the pipes
laid through the streets Of some of the
largest of them are Incapable of conveying
water as fast az 1t Is needed, and an Immense
expense has to be incurred to Increase the
supply until 1t is adequate to the demand for
domestic purposes, but more especially for
protection against fire. Since the Boston fire
much attention has been paid to the subject.
New York makes the fearful discovery that
in case of great fire her water-pipes would
be unable to supply the engines, and she is
about to undertake the enlargement of her
main pipes at cost of some sS,500,OO But
money cannot DC expended tor better pur-
pose by a city.
When old Mr.. STEIN, the German engi-
neer, made his estimates for the water sup
ply of this city, we believe In 1923, he
thought he provided amply for the future.
The water had not been supplied to the city
more than fifteen years before great COM
.plaint was made that people on the higher
elevations were deprived of water great
part of the day. 1t nun rapidly TO the lower
levels, and did not come fast enough to keep
the pipes on the higher ones filed. Twenty
years ago it was discovered that water did
not flow fast enough through the pipes to
supply the demand in case of big FIRE. The
tiremen were, as far back as that time, seri-
ously embarrassed ut times from the scarcity
of the supply, and our City Council have for
years been celebrating on the subject with
out action. At last they have taken the
step, and we are about to have laid down
in the principal streets pipes large enough to!
supply the city for halfcentury. We trust
the improvement will be hurried on, for
there is no telling when great fire may
happen.

TIE PRESIDENTS STAND FOR CTvlL-SERvICE
REFoRM.-Hon. William D. Kelley, of Penn
sylvania, had long interview with the Presl'
dent this morning, during which the Phila-
delphia postmastership was talked over freely.
1t is understood that Judge Kelley, who is a
member of the House Civil Service Commit
tee. is one of the warmcst supporters Of the
President in the position taken by him to
promote Mr.. Fairman to the position named
under the civil-scrvice rules. On the other
hand it Is said that the friends Of Truman
will oppose the confirmation of Fairman by
the Senate in the hopes of having the latter
rejected and their candidate appointed. Its
thought, however, the President vii! be sus
tanned by the Senate in the course he has
taken in behalf of ciyil-scryice retorm.-

The following are the GREELEY and Brown
The New Southern Policy.

!, If Is reported IN Washington that General
GRANT does not approve Of the course OF the
United States marshal In Alabama in arrest
ing Conservative members Of the Alabama
Legislature. 1t is further stated that the
marshal aforesaid will be severely repri-
nanded for bis conduct, or that he will be
removed. General WILLIAMS, the Attorney
General Of the Federal Government, is re-
ported to have expressed bis decided disap-
probation Of the conduct of the Alabama
official. A"
There is another encouraging item given
by the Washington correspondent Of the
New York Herald with regard to the PreSi-
dents course In the matter Of sending troops
to Louisiana. The Herald correspondent
says: ...,... -......
"In confirmation of the new southern
policy of the Administration, it Is mentioned
that in answer to an application from the
United States District Attorney and the
United States Marshal at New Orleans for
the use of troops as ready aid in the en-
forcement of the laws Of Congress concern
Jog elections the department commander,
General Emory, replied, under positive in
structions from Washington, that, mo troops
would be furnished as circumstances then
stood, but that they must proceed according
to the laws themselves in the prosecution
and punishment of persons charged with
their violation"

| The ARCHIVES STOLEN FROM VIRGINIA.
| Among other things stolen from the Capitol
| at the time of the evacuation, or soon there
after, were the archives, embracing the State
| papers and the Executive Journals for the
years 1SB0-'65. The Journal for 1860 does
not Gppertain to the war period. yet that

| ton ever since the surrender. Of what use
they can be to the Federal authorities, now
that they have been thoroughly examined. It
Is hard to tell. They are needed almost daily
in the business of the Executive Department
of this State. But they cannot be had, though
repeated applications have been made for
them. On one occasion a high State officer,
bearing u letter from the Governor, made
application in person for them. Belknap re-
pulsed him with incivlity, almost with rude
ness. The matter will be brought before the
Legislature this winter, when it is to be
honed that steps will lie taken to rebuke the
Federal Government for its meitnness Git is
simply that and to regain papers which are
of so much value.
The original ordinance of secession fell
into the hands of Judge Underwood, much
in the same way, no doubt, that the State
papers alluded to fell into the hands OF the
Federal authorities. Underwood, hearing
that application was about TO be made for it
by those to whom it properly belonged,
slipped over to Washington and deposited it

The Dispatch [Richmond] makes rather
curious statement when it says: "Thirty
wears since, had a committee.of gentlemen
thus waited upon President and made such
demand ras that made by the Cameron
committee who sought the Philadelphia post
ofticel for an Office they would have been
very clearly given to understand that the
President recognized no claims presented in
that manner, and the interview would have
been brief" The Dispatch must have read
our political history very carelessly to arrive
at conclusion like this. Thirty years ago
the delegations and the spoilsmen were on
the top of the wave. 1t was the era Of politl-
can huckstering and bartering to q greater
extent than even it Is now. Jackson's cry
that to the victors belong tie spells, or,
rather, Marcy's expression and the policy OF
the Jackson party, waa ringing through the
country, and carried out under every Admin
istlation.- Washington Republican.
We are not mistaken, nevertheless. In the
article upon which the Republican, COM
ments the Dispatch clearly stated that from
JACKsoN's Administration dated the spolls;
but still JACKSON WIS not the man to be be-
sic2ed by committees. His spirit and strong
will was too well known for that. He un-
questionably had his friends in whom he con-
fded, but he did not lower the dignity OF
his office by permitting cliqucs to enter his
apartment and hold long coloquies. Nor
did he allow any hurried publicity about his
movements, or any such familiarity outside
| with what he was about as would impair the
order and circumstance with which he con-
Quoted his affairs.
Neither JACKSON nor MARCY was the arl.
thor of the partisan proyerb "to tho victors
belong the spoils." 1t was the casual remark
of some leading New York politician, who
was thoroughgoing southern man. Was
1t RooT, or who was itP Whoever he was
that made it, he laid parties since that day
under obligation; for they have all actet
upon the motto as though it were law, ant
Just law ut that. But In modern times there
is more boldness than there was thsn in th'
division Of spoils. The right to divide then
| is boldly avowcd, and the matter is no Longer
debated. When the doctrine first found it
way to the press it was denounced through
out the Union. Indeed, nobody undertook
to defend it. But time makes great changes
That temptation which might have beer
repealed with indignant virtue last yea
is this year submitted to, and the vice il gen
Grated becoming familiar, society yields, ant
there is no further cavil about it.
