eighteen years of age, and possessed Of
high moral and educational requisites,
and they were made eligible, by promo.
tions, to the position of consul intended
to be permanent. The thir teen clerks
were duly commissioned and
attached to the principal con-
sulates. OF these, two In course of time
were promoted to vacant consulships,
OF whom one remained in his position
at the commencement Of General Grants
first Presidential term. The new Sec
retary of State, it is said by those who
profess to know, endeavored to have
this Consul retained in Office agreeably
TO the provisions OF the above act. But
his place was wanted for the tavorite OF
some influential political leader, and he
conse equently had to suffer official de.
lished precedent which virtually nulli-
ties the act in all that relates TO its chief
and only desirable purpose.
The present Congress in their appro-
priation bills last winter did little
good work for the country in curtailing
the Diplomatic Service, to a certain eX-
tent, by Transforming the Ministers
Resident in the South American States
and at various smaller European capi-
tails into Charge d'Afairs at much low
er salaries. This latter agent is all that
is needed in our ordinary intercourse
with foreign powers, though its less
brilliant title and accompaniment
may not be sufficient for the vanity and
ambition of the incumbent himself. At
any rate, Whenever an emergency
arises, an Envoy Extraordinary is al
ways dispatched to supersede the "Min-
ister' and represent the Government in
his stead.
This was move in the right direc-
ton, showing tendency to reorgan-
ize the service on more simple and
economical basis. But whether the
changes made at the same time in the
Consular Service were sof any real ad-
vantage is open to doubt. The closing
up of twenty or more inferior Consulates
was we'll enough. They could well be
spared, but it is also admitted thatmore
judicious selections of the stations to be
abolished might have been made.
We have not yet heard of any definite
plan by which to sesure this much
needed reformation. That a radical
change of some kind, in both divisions
OF this service, has bee )me necessary is,
however, the unbiased opinion ex-
pressed by many of our ablest public
men. Those who, whether in an execu-
tive or legislative capacity, may be in
strumental IN effecting the desired re-
form, in whatever way it is done, will
be well deserving of the gratitude of the
country,

and proceeded to hand over hundred
napoleons to the unknown one, for the
stakes were high. But the stranger
made no attempt to take the gold, and
returned no answer to three or four
questions put to him in reference to the
game. His eyes remained fixed ON the
red, while his features assumed ghast-
ly paleness. A player touched his arm
he was dead. Then the banker coldly
withdrew the hundred napoleons, OBJ
serving that play was in the nature of a
reciprocal contract, which could only
be entered into between parties both of
whom were capable of contracting, and
therefore never between live man and
a dead one. The cause of death was
heart disease.

THERE is a tiutter among Kentucky
politicians over the allegation just made
that at the late elections in that State
the voters did not cast their ballots
for Presidential Electors, but for
Hayes and Wheeler and Tlden
and Hendricks direct. This
raises the question as to whether the
u Electoral votes OF Kentucky can be
legally counted for Tilden, and if main :
tanned may result in loss to the Demo-
Gratis OF her II votes in the Electoral
College. AT any rate, tue discussion of
the question has created profound SEN
sation.

OUR CONSULAR AND DIPLOMATIC
SERVICE.

One OF the principal tasks that will
aeVolVe upon President Grants
successor, and his coadJutors in
Congress, will undoubtedly be what
has long and universally been
acknowledged to be among our most
Urgent national requirements - civil
service reform. Probably nowhere is
Ihis need more conspicuous than in the
Consular and Diplomatic branch of the
service.
We have not the space for any detailed
relation of the many unfortunate de-
Iects which are so clearly shown to exist
In this dual service up to the present
day through many years past. 1t re-
4uires no very close investigation to
make all these fully apparent. The sys-
kem will be found to contain within itself
numerous accessories that are mere
inert vanities, and in not few instances
are direct obstacles to utility and eff
fciency. 1t is on the whole cumbrous
and antiquated to say the least, and in
YolVes an extravagant and unnecessary
expenditure of public funds.
1t is not our wish to discuss the ques-
tion as to whether rotation in Office, in
augurated by General Jackson and con-
tinued at every successive change Of
administration has, in accordance with
the verdict of many able minds, been
the chief cause of ineficiency in this in
common with other departments Of the
public service. While this custom pre-
walls it is thought doubtful if any legal
enactment can overcome its injurious
effects upon our Diplomatic Service at
least.
The diplomatic corps of England,
France, and other European countries
are composed of men who enter the SER
vice in their youth, and who, in most in
stances, devote their entire lives to a
faithful discharge of its duties, rising
thereby to its highest honors and re-
wards by regular promotions through
grades not unlike those OF the army and
navy. There must unavoidably be a
vivid contrast between these trained
aiplomatists and the raw politicians
who every four years are sent out from
Washington and accredited TO foreign
Governments as our "Ministers Resi-
Sent"
Some attempt was made to obviate the
evils of rotation in the consular service,
In the act approved June 20, 1864. It's
object, as stated in the "Consular Man.
ual," was "the improvement OF the serv-
ice by the appointment, without regard
