lHE correspondent OF the New York
Ecening Post telegraphs that
In making discharges in the Treasury Depart
ment OF clerks from States whose quota Is more
than full those will be selected who have losr
their legal residence by voting at municipal elec-
lions here in years past, or who have a6stained
from voting at ALL
We cannot exactly see the civil service
reform in that Clerks who had been in
office here long enough to have secured
the right to vote at municipal elections
must have been efficient or they could not
have held their places so long. And IL
those IRE to be selected for dismissal who
have abstained from voting in their States,
then 1t might as well be announced at once
that there are to be rewards for political
services. True reform means the retention
OF the best and most efficient clerks with
out reference to how, when or where they
voted.

GEN. Comfy says, in recent number
OF the Ohio State Journal, that the South
need not expect to be helped by subsidies
in the next Congress, and intimates tha,
President HAYES is not in favor Of tha,

speaks by the card. A more authoritative
statement was telegraphed hence day or
two ago, that the President was very de.
eidedly in favor Of the Government aiding
in that manner.
