The DAUGHTERS OF Nh. GREELEY
The New York Tribune editorially says
that the Misses Greeley are unwilling,
under any circumstances, that the plan
Of a subscription for their personal bene-
fit should be adhered to. In the great
sorrow which has fallen upon them SO
heavily they are Of course in no posi-
ton to investigate their affairs. 1t will
be a work of time to determine the con-
dition of Mr.. Greeley's estate but how
ever it may have been impaired there is,
it is probable, enoug il remaining to quiet
al these generous apprehensions of the
community. And even if the provision
we're less, we must be allowed to say
that the Misses Greeley are in the hands
If immediate friends who will care for
them with assiduous fidelity aud unre.
hitting tenderness, and who will recog-
uizc and repay the debt of grateful honor
lue to their iather-a debt which it il
strongly felt can never be adequately
discharged. A sympathziug public may
confide in our assurance that the young
ladies are now the wards Of those who
will be glad as well as able TO care fol-
their every want and comfort, and to SCI
to It that the death OF their father shal
make no change 10 their methods Of lif'
and their resources.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
An earnes. desire has been felt to cor
rect the abuses which have grown up in
civil service of the the country, through
the defective method of making appoint
ments TO Office Heretofore, federal Of
fees have been regarded too much as the
rewards Of political service under the au'
thority Of Cougress, rules have been estab-
lished to regulate the tenure Of office and
the mode OF appointments. 1t caunot be
expected hat any system OF rules can be
entirely effective and prove perfect rem
edy for existing evils, until they have
been thoroughly tested by actdal practice,
and amended according to the require
ments Of service. During my term OF
office, it shall be my best endeavor, to SO
apply rules to secure the greatest possible
reform in the civil service Of the govern
ment.but it will require the direct action
Of Congress, to render the enforcement Of
the sy stem binding upon my successors,

past year, together with appropriate leg
islaton by Congress, may reach a salts

secure to the public service, for all time,
