Civil Service Reform.

General GRANT las adopted the recon-
mcntlat ions Of the Committee on Civil Ser
vice Reform, which lave been cmbalmcd in
regulations that have been prescribed for
the government OF all the offices, the ap-
pointmcnt Of officers, and their removal. An
early incident of the examination Of appli-
cants for office is told by the press. A call-
didate was asked what is the distance of the
moon from the earth! He was unable to
answer, and the question was probably as
far away from the real matter at issue con.
corning his capacity as the moon is from the
earth. He was Immediately rejected
That the rules providing for examining cam
didatcs for Office are very good will be ac-
knowledgcd by every one who reads them.
Yet the regulations, after all, were volunta-
riy adopted by the President, and there is
no authority save the President that can en-
force their faithful performance. lie mas too
much upon his hands to look after the man.
ncr in which the rules are observed, and the
probability is that they will fall into a loose
and neglected way, and he seldom applied
save merely as a convenient means of getting
rid of applicants that are troublesome, and
whom the examiners don't want to appoint.
Such will probably be asked how far the moon
is from the earth, and "set back
Asa specimen of the operation Of the regu-
lations here, Mr.. MADDOX, the editor of the
unti-custonl-house organ, the National Tr'
ginian," has received an appointment, not
withstanding that he ridicules and denounces
the Regulations SO heartily approved by Gen
eral GRANT. We suppose he was not exam
med at all. His Office, it is true, is Il small
one but it has whiskey and tobacco in it.
and it shall 80 hard indeed if Mr.. MADDoA
does not make it pay. lie thus speaks Of
General GRANTS regulations
"Imagine q lot of theoretical asses In oul
offices, who never had Il practical idea enter
their heads, and certainly there is ground tC
believe that such would be the inevitable re
suit in many cases should Congress approve
Of the civil service bill as now presented anC
the result is the machinery of government
ceases to work, and becomes more orna
mental than useful.
ais there sane man but believes this ar
rangemcnt is going to open up means Of
deriauding good, honest, Woodworking, com.
petent men from securing positions to which
right and justice entitle them, and place these
positions in the hands ola willing set of dupes
and imbeciles, who can be easily educated to
pass any examination which they might be
required TO undergo, should the ms find
use for such man, willing to pervelt the
object Of the law and put into execution the
selfish designs of the clique to the detriment
Of prosperity and good government"

In Rochester they have, as or readers
know. sent the negro who outraged the III
tie white girl to prison for twenty years,
The doer of that deed, white or black, would
have been hung here, as he ought TO be. lhe
mob's bunglmg and absurd attempts 10

As he was carried off to prison he placed his
thumb on his nose and wriggled his lItlie
finger in contempt 1T them. But one thing
is certain, the negro is not much exalted IN
public opinion about Rochester. The Ne"
York Comm rcini AdrertiScr suggests that
the petition lately circulating there for sigma
lures, urging SUMNER to press his propositloh
for negro equality with whites in Gil mat
tiers, has been indefinitely postponed.

SUGAR IN HIS'N."


The evening was stormy and raw, ~
sat in bar-room to warm, ,;-s-a
Two striplings came in, as saw,
And went to the bar arm in arm. 4
They called for drink, as stood,
(For / from my chair had arisen,) efs
One tossed off his glass and said .igoodp'
But Jimmy takes sugar in hisn."
I cast a quick glance at that boy,
His face was the picture of health,
he had all that heart could enjoy,
And prospect of very great wealth.
Years passed and Jim soon was man,
! In favor with all he had risen
For life he'd no definite plan,
But still he took sugar in hisn.
All thought him an excellent match,
Who'd daughters to settle in life.
The ladies esteemed him ''catch,"
And Jim looked around for a wife,
His father and mother were glad
That Jim to such favor had risen;
One thing only made them feel sad,
Jim still would take sugar in hisn.
Jim married. The wedding was grand,
And guests by the hundred were there,
He'd money and houses and land
And prospects exceedingly fair;
But Jim now had suppers and cards.
And played till the sun had arisen;
He won of his friends RI their regards,
But always took sugar in his'n.
Those friends (2) swept away all his wealth
His houses and lands were soon sold,
His poor wife was broken in health,
His children turned out in the cold.
Heart broken Jim wandered about,
His prospect the alms-ho or prison.;
Wherever he was not kicked out
He still would take sugar in his'n.
A traveller was knocked down and killed,
His body was found in sad trim.
For, money his blood had been spilled;
Suspicion was fastened on Jim.
One day l had business in town;
The road led along by the prison,
From the CRATE 1 saw Jim looking down,
Poor Jim had no sugar in his'n.
His father and mother and wife
Were dead, and his property gone,
Jim was to be tried for his life
With no one his friend; no. not one.
The murder was proven on him,
And he was remanded to prison.
He was hanged on the gallows. Poor jim
No more had he sugar in his n.
