CIVIL SERVICE REFORM DEAD.

A dispatch from Washington, Of the
10th, says: At yesterdays Cabinet
meeting tho President called atten,
ton to the statement in his last annual
message that if Congress adjourned
without legislation on the civil service
reform, he would regard such action
as disapproval Of the system, and
abandon it so far as competitive ex'
aminations were concerned. Agree.
ably to that notice he yesterday stated
his intention to abandon it, and the
officers of the Cabinet were requested
to give notice Of the fact accordingly
and tie Departments have issued cir
culars announcing the abolition Of the
civil service reform rules governing
their respective departments wher
ever operative, and announcing a re
turn to the former method Of appoint
ing employees as provided for by
section l64 Of the Revised Statute:
enacted June %, 1874, which is thai
"no clerk shall be appointed to any
department in either Of the four classes
until he has been examined and found
qualified by a board Of three ex'
aminers, to consist of the chief O
the bureau of Office into which suc(
clerk is to be appointed, and two
other clerks, to be selected by the
head of the department. All thu
sub boards of civil service reform
throughout the country are abolished
by those orders.
Thus the farce is played out aut
the curtain has fallen. Matters re
main now not only as they were be
fore the rules were adopted, but a!
they have been all along. The re
form never was really entered upon

TIE principal amusement Of the
inhabitants OF Port Jervis, on the Del

sorting nitro glycerine, and watching
the columns Of water that rise two
hundred feet after each explosion.
The river has been lost to sight to
them all this winter, and they are
breaking the ice to renew their &C
ouaintance. The explosions having
done little good, experiments are to
be tried with twenty barrels ofnaptha.
BY the time the summer comes the
ice will either melt of itself or be
blown away. The probability is that
it will melt.
