SETTLEMENT AxrfcfrArHp,
1t has for some days past been UNDERWOOD
here in we'll informed circles that the differ
ences between Brother Jonathan and John
Bull are to be amicably adjusted. Some Who
profess to know say that the solution Of the
problem will be the incorporation of new
principle of international law upon the
statute books of the two nations, ty which
neither nation shall be held responsible to the
other for consequential damages arising from
the escape of armed vessels In time Of war
frow its ports. Whether this new rule Of
international law be accepted by rs in full
for our claim for consequential damages re.
mains to be seen; but there are the best rea-
sons for believing that some pacific arrange
ment has been made.

The Free Trade wing of the Cincinnati
mass meeting has been troubled by the Davis
demonstrations, and the leaders telegraphed
Thursday to the agents here to go to Cincin-
natl at once, instead of waiting until next
week. The Adams letter has not produced
any effect, and the democrats are evidently
afraid of him. Davis can be used by them,
and his decisions have already given him
brevet rank as democrat opposed to the
fruits of the rebellion

The report that these is imminent danger
of another outbreak between Butler and

claim to their friends any intention, and

point of view particularly bright. Some OF
the Massachusetts men in the city, best quail
fled from their long acquaintance with Mr.:
Adams and his character, express decided
doubts of the authenticity of the letter, while
Judge Van Trump, of Ohio, the leader o.
the Bourbons of the House, openly Pronoun,

The question of Civil Service Re
form has excited a vast deal Of talk
throughout the country. Tie press
las teemed with it, and Congress
has bubbled and boiled and boiled
and bubbled overit, nlnothing but
bubble has been the result. It has
done nothing but talk But while
such has been the result in Congress,
a Civil Service Reform, under the
quiet but earnest management of
President Grant, has been practical
ly put in operation. The report of
the Advisory Board, which was APP
pointed some time since to furnish
rulesor plans for the proposed re-
form, was approved by President
Grant, and it is his intention to put
its recommendations in practice at
once, and continue them until su.
perceded by legislation. This plan
provides that applicants shall pass
prescribed examination, to be held
in each State, to fill vacancies in
the Executive Department. The
employees in all the departments
are to be divided in three classes, or
grades, according to salary. Can
didates for employment must enter
the lowest grade, and, after serving
suitable probation, be advanced to
the next, and continne on thus to
the highest grade. The heads of
departments are exempt from these
regulations aud where local ex-
animation fails in securing a quall-
fed applicant, then the President |
can appoint at will again. This is
about the substance Of the reform
which the President has approved
and determined to practice during
the remainder of his official term.
Whether the plan is the best that
can be devised, the future will de-
termine. 1t at least shows that
President Grant was sincere in his
recommendations for reform in the
Civil Service, as he is in everything
else which he advocates.
