Washington dispatches Of the
18th contain the following:
"The President to-day issued an
executive order announcing the
completion by the advisory board
of civil service of the grouping con-
templated by the rules already
adopted, and have recommended
certain provisions tor carrying the
rules into effect. The order APP
proves tho recommendations, and
states that they be enforced. The
order concludes as follows: The
utmost fidelity and diligence will
be expected Of all officers in every
branch Of the public service. Po-
litical assessments as they are
called, have been forbidden within
the various departments, and while
the right of persons in otAclal posi-
tons to take part in politics is ac-
knowledged, and the elective fran
chisc is recognized as high trust
to be discharged by those entitled
to its exercise, whether in the en-
ploy of the government, or in pri-
yato life, honesty and efficiency, and
not political activity, will determine
the tenure of office.
[Signed,] U. S. GRANT"
All honor to President Grant for
these noble words, There is no
reason to believe them otherwise
than sincere, and they indicate ap
honest purpose to effect reform Of
fragrant abuses, and to rescue the
administration Of the government
from the position of a mere machine
to further the schemes and ambi=
lions Of aspiring poljticians.

The German Press ON Schurz.

The New York StddtS-IeitltRg, the lead
ing Democratic German paper, opposes
Greeley. 1t says of Carl Shurz
The most capable men who were present
in Cincinnati bear witness to the fact that
the combination which led to the nOmina-
ton of Greeley and Brown was directed
especially against Senator SChurZ, and de-
signed to break down his growing influ-
ence, because his zeal for reform was too
sincere, and conducted with too much tact
and talent, so that the politicians began to
fear that the boy Carl might make serl-
Gus affair out of a movement which was
secretly begun for the purpose of gratity-
ing their own selfish ends,
The Cincinnati VOLE$frcuHd says on the
same subject:
1t is taken for granted that SChurz has
received a very severe blow, from which
he can only recover under the most fa-
vOrable circumstances. His future VIII
depend very much on his future course,
and whether or not he will be able to Sc
cure the respect of the German element
in America for in spite of his talents the
Anglo-American will drop him if they
see the majority of Germans are no long
er at his back And these would quit
him if he should demean himself SO much
as to humbly kiss the hand and rod that
smOte him, if he permit himself to be
used by Gratz Brown, who treated him
after the manner of a bandit, as cam
paign and train horse.

The Knights OF PythiaS.

From the address of a. S. Willis, Esq.
delivered at Louisville, KY, on the Sth
inst, we extract the following, as his ac-
count of the objects of the order:
The cause is to be found in the principles
it inculcates and the objects which it has
in view. These objects have been, as far
as was proper, given to the public, and are
very familiar to every member of the or
der. 1t teaches the purest morality, and
this it does by ritual and emblems, so
beautiful and impressive that they cannot
be easily forgotten. 1t breaks down the
artificial barriers of society. 1t Obliterates
party lines, destroys sectarian exclusive
ness, and unites all mankind into one
common brotherhood. Under its benign
influence Jew and Gentle kneel side by
side and offer up their prayers to the one
Father of all. 1t uniteS men Of every
cline and country into one body; it lifts
us far up into the pure atmosphere where
friendships flourish, where unreserved
confidence holds sway.
1t aids the distressed; it sOOthes the un-
happy; it sympathizes with the unfortu-
nate; it compassiOnates and relieves their
troubled minds; it pours into the wound
of suffering humanity, good Samaritan
like, the sacred balm of consolation. 1t
smooths the pillow of death; it wipes away
the Widows tears and stills the orphans
cries. In word, it makes all mankind
one family, casting over all its members
the spell of kindness, of social affection
and of useful philanthropy, and teaching
them to dwell together as a band of broth
ers in peace, confidence and unity.

IRON CLADs.-The New York Herald
correspondent of the 9th instant says that
at a recent Cabinet meeting it was finally
decided that every iron clad of the navy
should be put in condition for immediate
service. The Secretary of War was also in
structed to make the coast defenses, par
ticular!y y on the Southern seaboard, as inn
pregnable as possible.
Information has reached the Navy De-
partment that Moro Castle, guarding the
entrance to Havana harbor. is being rapid
ly strengthened, and that fifteen-inch
guns pointing seaward are now being put
in position. The order to fit out so many
monitors at this time excites a suspicion
that trouble is imminent with Spain.

NTSbY not for Greeley.

The Philadelphia Press contains dis
patch from Folney about an interview at
the White House between the President,
Mosby and himself:
"WeIl," said Mosby, what are you
tion?n
Towhich Col. Forney replied;
III am going to stand by the old flag ana ana
follow the old leader, Gen. Grant we
shall settle our difficulties in PennsylVa-
MIA, If there is any wisdom in our party
leaders, and so hel p to secure a good editor
for the New York Tribune and good
President for the country"
"Then,n said Mosby. turning to Grant,
II will never vote for Horace Greeley. l
will stump Virginia against him. I will
undoubtedly support Democratic candi-
date, if my party nOminates one, and if it
don't / will vote for President Grant"

A Satisfactory Solution of the Alabama

WASHINGTON May 13.-Casey's successor is
not to be named for some days
The Conference Committee have adopted the
House substitute for MorrilPs amendment to the
Deficiency bill, with some restrictions with re-
gard to payment from the Treasury.
The President transmitted to-day to the SEN
ate the correspondence between the United
States and Great Britain, relative to the Treaty
of Washington, accompanied with brief
message The envelope bore the word conf
Dental" A short time after the reception of
the documents, the Senate went into executive
session, when they were read. Ii appears the
design of the President was to ascertain the
views of the Senate as to the new article to the
Treaty Withdrawing the claims for cOnsequen-
tial damages from the American statement Of
the case with the promise, in substance, that
whenever England or the United States shall
be at war, and the other a neutral, the neutral
will make no complaints for any indirect re-
mote OF consequential injuries or losses result
ing from failure to observe neutral duties. As
It is known that Great Britain will agree to the
proposed new article, and that both Govern
ments are anxious to save the Treaty by this
means, Is was thought proper to place the SEN
ate in possession of all the facts in order that
the Executive, acting upon their advice might
pursue the negotiation SO as to secure the con-
summation of the Treaty in a manner satisfac-
tory to the two Governments.
There was brief debate after the reading of
the documents involving the merits of the ques-
ton.
a motion was made to remove the injunction
Of secrecy but this failed and the message and
documents were then ordered to be printed in
confidence and referred to the Committee on
Foreign Relations. There is scarcely question
but that the Senate will advise the acceptance
of the additional article to the Treaty.

GREELEY on GRANT.
What Horace Greeley Thought in 1871 of
President Grant, and Why He Recon-.
mended Him for Re election.

What Horace Greeley Thought in 1871 of
President Grant, and Why He Recon-.
mended Him for Re election.
Extract from speech of Horace Greeley,
made Thursday night, January 5, 1871, at
the reorganization of the Republican Gen
eraI Committee of the State and county,
as published in the New York Tribune:
GAS to the administration of General
Grant, / recognize no one as Republican
who is not grateful for its judicious, ener-
getic and successful efforts to procure the
ratification of the 18th amendment, that
keystone of our political arch, whereby
the fruits of our great triumph over rebel
lion and slavery are assured and perpetu-
ated,
That the President has made some mis-
takes in appointments is ObviOus-it would
be strange, indeed, if one so inexperienced
in the conduct of political affairs had
wholly escaped them. Whatever blame
may Justly attach to this falls rightfully
on us, who took him from the head of the
army and made him Ourcivil Chief Magis-
trate, fully aware that he had never voted
a Republican ticket, if, indeed, he had
voted at all. While asserting theright OfeUery
Rcpubicun to his u7ltrUn1nleLed choice for
nert President until q nomination is made,
Ueqt,tre to suQgeSt that General Grant
aOiU be far better qualified for that naOn1e1s-
tO1Ls trust in 1872 than he ans IN 1868. Such,
gentlemen, are the ideas and convictions
which have impelled me to take my place
among you, and accept the responsibility
you have imposed upon me. Let us take
care to act with substantial unanlmity,
and with such evident moderation and
fairness that our friends throughout the
State and the Union shall see and feel that
we are doing our utmost to unite and
strengthen the Republican party, and ami
mate it with well-grOunded and sanguine
hopes of future triumphs.

Strength of Will and Strength of Mind

A very clear illustration OF the dlStinc-
ton between strength of will and strength
of mind was once given by a gay young
fellow who probably had never read page
of metaphysics in his life. This young
gentleman, whose friends called him Bob
for shortness, was of an exceedingly nerv-
Gus temperament, and any unusual indul-
gence in wine was sure to leave him in
shaky and unhappy condition. Bob had
a consequential acquaintance named Waf-
fies, who was gifted with the absorbing
qualities of sponge, and who, although
in the habit of drinking much more freely
than Bob, was never known to exhibit
any signs of inebriety.
One morning Waffies called upon his
friend, whom he found seated on the stool
of repentance, with wet towel bound
round his head, and several empty soda
bottles by his side; and shocked at the
sight, he began to mOralize.
80 you were tight again last night,
do as I do? When [ have drunk enough
/ stop. You should have more strength of
mind, and initiate me-"
strength of mind! ~ snarled Bob, who,
nervous and irritable, had very little dis
position to submit to temperance lecture
from such a source; what the deuce has
strength of mind to do with it? Strength
of will, you mean
"Well," quoth Watfles, what is the diff
ference?n
"Pn tell you the difference" retorted
Bob vindictively; "Brutes have no mind
at all. but iackass has more strength of
will than any being that breathes."

COME IN BEAUTIFUL DREAMS.

George D. Prentice wrote many beautiful
ings, but never anything more quietly beau
full than the following:
Come in beautiful dreams, love,
Oh, come to me oft,
When the white wings of sleep
On my bosom lie soft.
Oh come when the sea,
In the moons gentle light,
Beats soft on the air
Like the pulse of the night;
When the sky and the wave
Wear their lcftiest blue,
When the dew's on the flower,
And the stars on the dew,
Come in beautiful dreams, love,
Oh ! come and we'll stray
Where the whole year is covered
With the blossoms of May
Where each sound is sweet
As the coo of the dove
And the gales are as soft
AS the breathings of love;
Where the beams kiss the waves
And the waves kiss the beach,
And our warm lips may catch
The sweet lessons they teach.
Come in beautiful dreams, love,
Oh come and We'll fly,
Like two winged spirits
Of love through the sky;
With hand clasped in hand
On our dreamWing5 we Il go,
Where the starlight and moonlight
Are lending their glow;
And on the bright clouds we'll lingcr
OF purple and gold,
Till the angels shall envy
The bliss they behold.
