THE MORNING. NOVEMBER 1878

phatic than 1t was made by the national
republican convention. We give Its exact
words: "Ahy system of the civil service
under which the subordinate positions of
" the government are considered rewards
" Tor mere party zeal is fatally denlordHzing,
" and we therefore favor reform of the
system by laws which shall abolish the
" evils of patronage, and make honesty,
efficiency, and fidelity the essential quail
ificatons for public position, without
practically creating a life tenure of Office
This is clear, emphatic and to the point.
The republican ship sailed with these col
ors nailed to her masthead, "no prescription
for opinions sake !" "honesty, efficiency
and fidelity in public Office" and 'no
more appointments as rewards for party
zeal" Under these colors, the battle was
fought and won. No one could enter into
the contest on the republican side, and
fight under those colOrs standing on that
platform, unless he gave hearty adherence
thereto, or was, at heart, bypocrite and
traitor. Is man, can man be republi-
can without subscribing to this doctrine /?
We take it that no man is true, honest
republican unless he subscribes thereto,
and endeavors, by all the means in his
| power, to give it political effect. Herein,
too, is where the duty of electing trustwor-
thy honest men to political offices is exem-
plilied. Such man, having secured an
election thereby, will be true to his pro-
fessed principles, while the time serving
demagogue and politician will seek to re-
tain power by ''the evils of patronage, -
and by appointments, or recommendations
for appointments, las rewards for mere
party zeal" The test of republicanism is
an adherence to this as well as other prin-
ciples, and not in a blind support of men.
Andrew johnson was elected as republi-
can and as a representative of republican
ideas, but when he departed therefrom, he
ceased to be a republican, and the party
did not hesitate to repudiatc him. So it is
in the matter of this ''civil service REFORM
when any man-bc he high III Office or a
private citizen-a attempts to go counter tc
this express declaration he ceases TO be a re-
publican, and the people will not hesitate
to dcnounce him.

The United Ssnte. SURVEYS.

The annual report of the Secretary of
the Interior will show that the United
States geological and geographical survey
of the territories, under the direction of
his department has continued its operations
in the West during the past season. The
May.
The district recommended for the work
of the year 1878 embraced the eastern por-
ton of Colorado, lying between parallels
3S deg and 80 deg. 90 min. north, and be-
tween meridians 104 Dig 30 min and 107 dc
west, and comprised about 10000 square
miles This area was divided into three
districts and the survey of each entrusted
to mixed party of biologists and topo
graphers. The northern district included
the Middle Park the middle, the South
Park ; and the southern, the San Luis Val
ley. The whole area, which is about 16(
miles broad, embraces the grandest ranges
of mountains and the greatest group OF
lofty peaks known on the continent.
From the summit of Mount Lincoln, be
tween the Middle and South parks, over
twenty peaks $4,000 feet and upwards, ant
200 whose SUBMITS rise above 10000 feet
can be seen. Besides the three parties
mentioned above there were three othel
parties, one of which carried on the pri
mary trianguations from the submits o.
the most important peaks in the district
A Photographic and quartermasterspa part,
also formed part of the organization, whicl
may be regarded as unusually complete fo
the duties for which it is designed. A pre-
liminary field-map was prepared in til,
spring, based on the land surveys of thi
department, which indicated those portion
which were least known and which needed
the most careful examination. 1t is thu
purpose of the survey to carry on a careful
and systematic work, which shall not b.
required to be performed again while tn

The New York Legislature Rcpub-
lfcnn.

1t is now certain that the legislature of
New York is republican by good working
majority in each house. The senate is
seventeen republicans to fourteen demo-
Gratis, and one Independent, while the as
sembly has seventy-one republicans to fifty
six democrats and one Independent. There
are many new members in both houses,
and in both, the political character of the
representative has been changed as well as
the person In the senate democrats sue
coed republicans in the second, sixth,
eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, twenty-third,
twenty seyenth and thirty-first district. In
the assembly democrats come from unex-
pected localities. Essex, Montgomery,
Warren and Yates each send democrat,
although giving the republican state ticket a
majority. The republicans carry two dis
tricts in Albany county, one in Duchess
and the Schuyler county district, which
they failed to secure last year.

a general election is to be holden in
Texas, on the second of December, whereat
legislature will be chosen, whose duty it
will be to elect United States Senator
in place of Joseph w. Flanagan, whose
term expires one year from the fourth of
March next. During his senatorial career,
he has been chiefly distinguished for his ad-
vocacy of the increase of the salary bill,
sustained by the ponderous argument that
judge of the supreme court ought not to
have il greater salary than Senator, be-
cause ''if his"--a Senator's intellect is
not as great as a judge of the supreme
court, sit ought to be-" We trust that,
whichever way the election may result, the
Legislature will take the Senator's view OF
''intellect."

JOSH BILLINGS ON MARRIAGE.-Sum
marry for love without cent in their
pocket nor q drop Of pedigree. This
looks desperate but IL the strength of
the game.
Sum marry becauze they think vim
min will be scarce next year, and live tew
wonder how the crop holds out.
Sum marry tew get rid Ov themselves,
and discover that the game was one that
two could play at and neither win.
Sum marry the second timeto get teven,
and find it gambling game-the more
they put down the less they take up.
Sum marry tew be happy, and not find
ing it, wonders where all the happiness
goes tew when it dies.
Sum marry they can't tell who, and
live they can't tell how. Almost every
body gifts married, and it il a good joke.
Sum marry in haste, then set down
and think it carefully over.
Sum think it carefully over fust, and
then set down and marry. Both ways
are right If they hit the mark.
Sum marry c0quettes This iz like
buying poor farm, heavily mOrtgaged,
and working the balance of yure days tor
clear Oph the mortgages.
Sum marry for buty, and never dis
kOver their mistake; this IL lucky.
Sum marry for pedigree, and feel big
for six months, and then very sensibly
cum tew the conclusion that pedigree
amt no better than skinned milk.
Sum marry bekawze they have bin
hightsed sum where else; this IL o cross
match, bay and q sOrrel; pride may
make it endurable.
Sum marry rakes to convert them.
This IL a little risky, and takes q smart
missionary to do it.
Marriage is fair transaction on the
face ov it, But there il quite too often
put up jobs in it.
1t IL an old institushun, older than the
pyramids, and so phull Of hyrogliphics
| that nobody can parse.
History holds its tongue who the pair
| waz who fust put on the silken harness
and promised to work kind in it, thru
thick and thin, up hill and down, and on
| the level, rain or shine, survive or per-
| ish, sink or swim, drown or float.
But whoever they waz, they must have
made Q good thing out ov it, or 80 many
| of their p0sterity would not hev har-
messed up and drove out.
| There is a crate moral grip to mar
riage; it is the mortar that holds the So
ghul bricks together.
But there amt but darn few folks who
put their money in matrimouy who
could set down and give a good written
| Opinyun why ON earth they cum to didi
This is a crate proof that it il one nv
them natral kind Oyacksidents that must
happen, jist as birds fly out NV the nest
when they hev fethers enuff, without
being able tew tell why.
If marrying for love amt o success
then matrimony is ded beet.
But, after al, married life il full as
certain as the dry goods business. Kno
man can swear exactly whar he will fetch
up when he touches calico. Kno man
can tell jist what calico has made up its
mind tew do next. Calico don't know
herself. Dry goods ov all kinds il the
child Ov circumstances.
The man who stands on the bank shiv-
ering, and dussent, IL more apt to ketch
cold than him who pitches his head fust
into the river.

LuCk-OP No Luck :!
From the New York Ledger

[From the New York Ledger.l
A correspondent wishes to know if
there is any such thing as luck.
Most people think there Isl such thing
as luck; many think there is a great deal
of it; some that there is, to them, a great
deal of good luck, and others that there
is, to them, a great deal Of bad luck.
" 1t is his luck" say the neighbOrs, of
one man; his Investments always turn
out we'll he is bound to make money"
We remember, by the way, hearing this
remark made once, by an ambitious
young man, about one many years his
senior 1t is his luck" said the young
man; "whatever he touches turns to
gold" ard on the strength Of his faith
III this elderly mans luck, the youth, al
though he was a theological student,
broke off an engagement with a true
hearted young girl ard married the
"lucky7 mans daughter; but it turned
out that the lucky man afterward failed,
and instead of everything thathe touched
turning to gold, the young mans hopes
and expectations turned to ashes.
But is there, in reality, any such thing
as luck?
We suppose there is, if the word luck
be limited to its proper significatiOn.
Luck properly applies to such events as
are entirely beyond ones own influence.
The common error on the subject con-
sists in attributing to luck or fortune
those things which depend entirely, or
mainly, or in some part, upon ones own
conduct and management.
One man fails in everything; it is his
| luck; so he thinks, and so others half
| believe; when, as the fact is, it is all his
own fault. He does nothing at the right
time, or in the right way. He may work
very hard, yet he works to little or no
purpose; and yet it is entirely attributa-
BILE to the fact that his eE3;t. IS are not
timely, or are misdirected or misdbplied
Another man almost invariably sue
ceeds. 1t is his luck, people say. Yet
luck, in most cases, has little or nothing
to do with it. His plans are judiciously
laid, and promptly and perseveTingly
executed. Phe result is simply the ma
tural product and consequence of his ex-
ertiOns.
IF an accident which could not be fore,
seen by the passengers occur to a rail
road train, it may be a matter of lucE
whether a traveller happen to be in 6
car which is crushed or in one that es
capes. If we look back to the root O.
the matter, however, we discover tha
the accident itself, instead of being con
sequent upon luck, i'll most cases is Oc
casioned by some carelessness or mis-
management.
The truth is that Luck is the name O.
a convenient pack-hOrse on which care
less and indolent and thoughtless peOplt
delight to place the responsibility fo1
their own errors and shortcomings.
person who always does his duty, at thu
right time and to the best of his ability
is very apt, in the long run, to turn Ou
Iucky.

Nothing is better calculated to upset
mans equanimity. and disqualify him
for sound mental action, than quarrel.
This is the view of the Columbus Sun,
which adds: "Let it be ever so light,
and the cause ever SO trivial, the effect
is the same. 1t puts him out of sorts,
so to speak, and is the source of great
annoyance. The occasion may be one
of small moment, and may pass off in
a few moments, but the effect will con-
tinue for hours and mar his peace and
happiness. Hence it should be the
policy of every one to avoid quarrel, if
possible. If man cheats you, cease to
deal with him; if he is abusive, quit his
company, if he ISLANDERS you, take care
to live so that nobody will believe him.
No matter who he is, or how he uses
you, the best way is to let him alone,
for there is nothing better than this cool,
calm and quiet way of dealing with the
wrong we meet with"
