to as much credit as any one for the civil
service reform of which We have the prom
Use:

ponds on the motive of the doer We are

has been gre .tly Iessened of late. We haye
been reliably informed that bis zeal for civil.
service reform, and his GOODNESS towards the
administration, date from the refusal of the
President to appoint TO an Office Of much re-
sponsibility, very near relative Of Mr.
Trumbuli. whose appointment the Senator
urged with great earnestnCss. not 10 say IN
science, hut what was not appointed because
the Pr sident had pie evidence Of his Ut

Now IT it Is true that Mr. TrumbuII be
came active for a reform which should tax,
from CUngTessmen the control of appoint
meDts only after his own recommendations
had been rendered wort bless by the discovery
that he was Hing to urge the appointment
OF unworthy men Of whose Labits and charae-
ter be could not be ignorant, then high praise
Of the Senator in this connection may well
be spared
but at any rate Mr.. Trumbull's action.
reierrtd to by the FREEMAN, was taken only
after the President had repeatedly called
upon him, in common with tie lest Of Con
gers, TO initiate such a reform. In his titst
annual MESSAGE President Grant took GROUND
against removals from office for reasons sim
Ply political. 10 his second annual message
he referred to the SUBJECT second time, aud
called upon Congress to reform tie civil ser-
vice Of she country. On this subject he
said:
- Always favoring political reforms, re-
specially call your attention to one abuse
OF long standing, which l would like TO see
remeoied by this Congress. 1t is reform in
the civil service of the country. | would
have it 60 beyond the mere fixing of the

Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1872-01-17

President Grant, under the advice Of the
Advisory Civil Service Board, las adopted a
supplementary rule BY which vacancies in
the civil service can he filed temporarily. IN
til the machinery Of the new syste gets in
to working order. The rule provides that
these vacancies shall be flied in the old way,
without examination, whenever the necessi-
ties of the ssyvice demand 1t. All such APP
pointments are to become void, however, a.
toon as persons can be selected by ex4mlna-
tion. Ii is not likely that the necessities OF
the service will require an extended a?plica-
tion of this rule; and it y also improbable
that many of6ce-seekers will be anxious 10
obtain places on such conditions, unless they
are able to retain them by passing the geoer-
al examination.

HARrER's WEEKLY o. President GRANT.
We print elsewhere an article from Har-
per's Weekly in praise Of the President
Perhaps something might be SAID IN partial
answer to some OF the propositions and state
ments contained in this temperate article,
out VIC have no desire to desrac5 from the
iorce Of the praise which Mr. Curtis bestows
on the President except in one particular
As one branch of the government the Presi-
dent is entitled to all the credit that can
fairly be given to that branch. But Con- ress
and the Republican party ought also to share
in the credit due to the administration for
i,s achievements during the last three years.
The President IS entitled % his snare Of
praise, but not as Mr. Curtis conveys the
impression in his article, t. az the praise
for what has been done By the government
and the party since he was inaugurated.

New speciae for s.nII.p.x.

At the last meeting of the London Chemists
Association. held at the Royal Institution. atten-
ton was drawn to the recent adoption of "Xylol'
rs a specific in eases of smallpox. This hydro
carbon is likely to become of great Importance if
its application in cases of smallpox is really fol-
lowed by such good results as have hitherto been
obtained at Berlin.
The Berlin Klnischo Wochcnschrift states that
DIR. Zuelzcr, senior physician at the Charlie Hos
ptal. has there administered xylol in cases of
smallpox with the most complete success. 1t is
given in doses of from 3 10 drops for children,
10 to Il drops for adults every lonr to every three
hours. 1t is harmless, because as much ms a tea
spoonful at a time has been taken. The most
convenient form of taking it is in capsules, as al
ready supplied by Berlin firm, and containng3,
5, ., and IL drops each. The specific action is not
yet clearly defined but early information on this
point is promised. The theory at present is. that
xylol is taken mp by the blood and acts disin-
fectant. The absolute purity of the xylol is i'm
pOrtant, as toluol and other analogous compounds
do not possess this peculiar action, and it seems
there are some practical difficulties in obtaining
xylol absolutely pure. Xylol, or xylene, was first
separated from coal naphtha by DIR. Hugo Muller;
it is obtained by fractional dstilation until dis
tillate is obtained of about 400 boiling point this
is mixed with snlphuric acid; this acid is decom-
posed by dry distillation, and the xylOl thus OBJ
tanned is further purified Pure xylOl is colorless

ferent, boiling point 1892, specific gravity, 366.

THE EARLY DAYS OF THE REBEL.

In Lippincott's Magazine for April, Horatio
King has an interesting contribution of "Remn-
iscences of the Early Stages of the Rebellion" 1t
includes some letters of Edward Everett, Frank
lin Pierce, and james Buchanan, not heretofore
published. Mr.. Everett wrote to Mr.. King the
following letter in reply to suggestion of the
latter, that President Buchanan should be
strengthened IN his opposition to the disnniOn-
lists by the opinions and advice of citizens in
whose Judgment he conld contide:
"BosrON, 27th November, IsrO.
"MY DEAR SrR:-I share the opinion of your
correspondent rs to the very critical state of pub
lie affairs, and feel it to be the duty of every
good citizen, by word and deed to contribute his

impending peril-by far the greatest that ever
threatened it.
"The canse assigned by your correspondent MS
that which prevents Union men from Attending

crisis, will not prevent nv doing it. bnt ordinary
self-respect under the notorious circumstances of
the case requires that my views should not he oh,
