CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

There is much twaddle and nonsense in
all parties about what is called "civil ser
vice reform" The thing stands a conven-
lent catch-word for any amount of dema-
gogery, fustian and bombast, to be let Of
as occasion requires, that the dear people
may see that could the outs take the places
of the ins, wonderful changes for the better
would ensue. 1t was reserved, however,
for that prince Of demagogues, Samuel ].
TildeD, TO harp upon this strain in the
highest and purest tones of an assumed
patriotism. 1t is wonderful, truly wonder
ful, to note how political trickster who
belongs to party the chief and fundamen-
tai principle of which was, and now is,
''to the yictors belong the spoils ~ party
that knows no other bond of Union than
the cohesive power of public plumber" is
exercised with q sudden and spasmodic
virtue in behalf of civil service reform.
That portion of Mr.. Tilden's letter which
treats upon the above-named topic is filled
with marvellous platitudes of fine writing;
but in the light Of Democratic action and
practice where this party has the power it
must go for naught. 1t will be found,
should Mr.. Tilden and his party get con-
troll of the Government, that they have
simply during the campaign acted upon the
recommendation and principle, Assume a
virtue, if you have it not"
In this portion of his letter Mr. Tilden
says many things that are commendable.
No well-wisher to his country, nor, indeed,
any one who believes that the civil service
of the Government may need reforming,
will dissent from many things that Mr..
Tilden utters. 1t is one thing to say and
another thing to do. Has the Democratic
party, in any instance, reirained from max
ing clean sweep where it had the power
What did it do when it got control of the
present House of R representatives.? How
many Republican iucumbents are left?
Were all who were turned out incompetent
and inefficient persons? Who does not
know that should NJ. Tilden and his party
succeed in November an exodus like
what was witnessed in the House will be
witnessed in all the Departments of the
Government, The bulk of Republican
clerks and employees will be dismissed in
March next. Competency and efficiency
will not have feathers weight in retain
ing in Office Republicans as against Demo
cra.s. Mr.. Tilden knows full we'll that all
he is saying about reform in the Govern
men! in this regard will have no more
influence in governing his conduct in ap
ban 81 -
straining a wild beast of prey from the
destined victim doomed to appease its ap-
petite.
Mr.. Tilden virtually acknowledges that
all he says ABOUT civil service reform is
said for buneomIe, and intended to mislead
those very sincere reformers IN both
parties who seem to think that our civil

THE AVENUE PAVEMENT.

The contractors bids were opened yes
terday by the Commissioners for the pave
ment of Pennsylvania avenue, when it was
discovered that the bidders included num-
Der of non residents, whose bonds were ap-
proved on the afiidavits of interested par
ties. This procedure is sufficient to show
that up to this time the Commissioners have
not taken hold of the subiect-matter of
their duties with true instinct or under
standing of its importance. The most sim
pie way to settle this matter is that the
Commissioners shall take the matter in
hand themselves and carry on the work
under their own personal supervision. In
no other way can the suspicion be avoided
that favoritism has been or may be exhib-
tied, and in no other way can the assump-
tion be effectively destroyed that the same
ring is engaged in copartnership attempt
to seize this important and profitable con-
tract. Undoubtedly the Commissioners
have the authority to do this work them
selves, and if they do, no one will dispute
the declaration that they can do it cheaper
and more satisfactory than by any other
method. They can buy stone and asphalt
and rent or purchase the requisite ma
chinery, and thereby save to the District and
its citizens the percentage of requisite ex-
penditures which would otherwise go i..o
the pockets of outsiders and others who are
temporarily resident here. Any other
course than the one We have suggested will
undoubtedly result in an Investigation at
some future time.

typed plea that the pistol went off by accident,
as If his drawing 1t and pointing it toward the
negro were both accidental. This plea was be-
lieved, or at all events acted upon, and he was
only convicted of manslaughter In the fourth
degree, and sentenced TO twenty nine days i'm
prisonment. That ponstrous failure of JUS
tice had taken place was patent to every one I;
but what shall we say of Governor Tilden's
granting full pardon for the purpose of re-
storing this man-slayer to ;izenship, and, per-
haps, showing the Buffers and other good
friends of the Governor in the South that he
attached as little Importance to the slaughter
of colored men as they doi Nay, this most
iniquitous annulling of an iniquitously lenient
sentence is made into piece of magnanimit!
on the part of Governor Tilden, seeing that the
policeman was called a Republican. If he &C
tually were a Republican, which from his name
we greatly doubt, he is not likely now to vote
against Governor Tilden nor to induce any o.
his clan to do SO. But his politics had nothing
to do with the question whether or not the RI
diculously inadequate sentence should be re-
voked in its only substantial part, namely, thg
derivation of citizenship,

service is the very hot-bed Of corruption.
In the conclusion of this portion of his
letter he says: while much may be &C
complished by these methods might
encourage delusive expectation if 1
withheld here the expression of my con-
Eviction that no reform Of the civil service
"will be complete and permanent until
"the Chief Magistrate is constitutionally
"dIsqualified for reelection" Precisely !!
But when is this constitutional inhibition
to be applied? Not during Mr.. Tilden's
time, surely. This concluding sentence is
intended TO shield and cover Mr.. Tilden
and his party should he reach the Presi-
dental office. 1t is ever thus that dema-
gogues cover their retreat from principle
and go back on their promises under some
latitudinarian declaration that may mean
one thing or another thing just to suit the
occasion

WE CALL attention to the letter of Hon.
r. B. Hall, of California, to Colonel A. E.

the Oakland Tronscript, asking if the arti,
Gle is correct, and requesting Colonel Red
stone to make 9 statement of the facts as re-
CARDS Mr.. Hendricks connection with the
knights o" the Golden Circle and parti-
cipatiOn in the famous Democratic conven
ton at Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1868, &c,

have known Colonel Redstone for some
years, and believe that his statements can
be implicitly relied on in this respect, and
they are backed by history, and further
that they may be sdbstantiated by the gen,
tIeman referred to. We give the writer the
benefit of his peculiar opinions regarding
the vital issues of the present campaign and

proposes to review the whole Southern stu
ation-the condition of the South, the con-

election in relation to the loyal people of

reputation of being one of the most effec-
tive and forcible stump speakers in South
Carolina, and while he is always generous
to his political opponents, yet he never fails
to call things by their right names. We
know of no one better able to inform the
Senate and the country upon these matters
than Senator Patterson.

THE Mississippi reports show conclu,
sively that the white people of that State
have no respect for the laws, but assume
the right to be law unto themselves. The
question for Congress and the people of the
country to determine is whether this state
of affairs constitutes "a government repub-
lican in form" Is government dictated by
armed bands of rangers such q one as was
contemplated by the Consultation? Is a
State government which permits citizens to
lie scourged and murdered by armed "ban-
ditti, without making any effort to arrest
and punish the offenders, worthy of associa-
ton with the family OF States composing
the Union?

Governor Tilden has just granted a pardon
which shows what we may expect in that line
from him should he be elected President. Two
or three months ago Brooklyn policeman OF
the ruling nationality there arrested negro
for something so trifing that 1t was questiona-
bic if he should have been arrested at all. The
negro, doubtless knowing the severity of
Brooklyn justice towards persons of color, ran
away from the officer. Whether the latter was
incapacitated from giving chase or not we can
not say, but he out with his pistol and shot the
negro, who died shortly after. At the trial,
before very complaisant judge, jury and dis
