CIVIL SERVICE REFoRM.--We are glad
to observe that the Civil Service Reform
Commissioners do not consider the re.
fusal Of Congress to make the appropria-
ton to cover the expenses as tantamount
to q dismissal. So far the labors of the
commission have been of little service;
we even doubt whether its members very
clearly apprehend its mission, but al
ternately snubbed by Congress and dis.
regarded by Grant, it was scarcely to be
expected that its efforts for publication
of and establishing the civil service Of
the United States upon sound basis,
would likely to be successful, In spite
of all this discouragement, it is still we'll
that an effort should be made to correct
the gross evils complained Of. Of this
intention the Commissioners were the
outward and visible sign, and for that
reason we are glad to see that they have
not disbanded. though up to the present
time they have been but weak sisters,
though We think not from any fault Of
their own.

THE GREAT SCANDAL

We are getting tired OF it-everybody
ia getting tired Of il II is nastiness
prolonged unfortunately. There is no
earthly use in continuing the present in
vestigation. Everybody concerned in it
seems endowed with o forty preacher
power Of prevarication, and fencing with
the interogatories. There is no such
thing in the whole inquiry as direct,
categorical answer to plain question.
At last. here comes Moulton, who was
supposed to possess. and for all anybody
knows, does possess the key to the whole
mystery. and it appears that he refuses
to tell all he knows, on the ground that
the matters were divulged to him in con.
fidence, and he does not think he has
right to betray that confidence. Why in
the world could not the man say 30 at
first. Here he has been fiddle faddling
around for two or three weeks. and at
last says that he intends 10 continue his
reticence. We are inclined to think that
his alleged silence is the result of IN
after thought, or it may be Of an attempt
to compromise between the parties. In
the detached and muddled condition
that our kilograms reach US, as well as
our cotemporaries. it is difficult to tell
wha. the real situation is, 80 far as has
been made public. The kilograms pub
lished yesterday placed Beecher. consid-
ering his position as Christian minister
and public teacher. in most humili-
ating and degrading position. When
asked why he wrote that self-denuncia-
tory letter to Tilton, he goes on with
long string Of stuff, stating how he came
home from lecturing tours, and these
COMPOUNDED Developments" ian elegant
expression for preacher, was it not?)
always met him; that he used to go to
Moulton for advice and sympathy. that
he could go to no one else; that Moulton
at last looked coldly on him well he
mighty and then urged by despair he
wrote the letter. This is oil very we'll but
if he had not been guilty, those icon.
founded Developments would never
have come to light. He would have bad
no occasion to 60 to Moulton. He
would not have been troubled at all
when Moulton looked coldly on him; he
could and would have at once asked for
an explanation without any dispair what
ever. The fact is, the man was guilty,
his conscience rebuked him, he could
not bear the reproach in his friends
face because Of that guilt, and that guilt
urged him to make the only reparation
in his power, which he had not the
manly courage, the honesty, the decency
to stand up to. Mrs. Tilton says she
was urged to confess by reading Griffith
Gaunt.' Beecher had better study
Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter" and there
see how mean, how cowardly, how re.
voltingly disgusting man is, who
allows another to suffer for his crime,
and that sufferer the one he had made
his victim. But guilty, or innocent
if they would only stop exposing thei
dirty saying and doings before the pub
lie, they would then make the only pos
sible reparation for the mischief they
have already done.

YESTERDAY morning, between nine and
ten O'Clock, smoke was discovered issu-
ing from the fue OF the fume arrester at
the Richmond works, and the fact soon
developed that the woodwork forming
the tunnel was on fire. Fortunately the
IRE was not extensive and by dint OF
hard work in combating the flames, it
was under perfect control and in o short
time extinguished. The fire originated
at the same point as on July 4th last,
when the entire woodwork OF the ar
roster was destroyed, and from causes
similar. The seepsge by some means
found its way into the fue and moisten-
ing the accumulation of dust and char.
coal in state of fine division, in that
part, acted on the sulphur-ts. pyrites,
ETC., inducing chemical action causing
great heat. This, forming hot gases,
soon isnted the frame work and started
what might have proved q disastrous re.
reult. About GO feet OF the tunnel
covering was torn up and the men at the
furnace speedily got water ON the FIRE
from the apparatus at the works. The
damage will be slight and soon repaired
The water thrown on the powdered char
coal in the fue leading up the trench

remains about the same, while there is
