Civil Service Reform, Legal Ethics, and
an Official ScoundreI.
On Thursday last DANIEL H. CHAMBER
LAIN, Ex-Governor u South Carolina dcliv-
crod an address before an agricultural
society at Potsdam, in this State. He is
reported 10 have given his hearty Endorse
nient to the efforts Of tho Administration to
reform the civil service" The civil service,
euntende,i this refsrmsr. should bs entirely
divorced from politics. Though he might
dIiier with HAYES about other things, he
was with him there heart and soul.
These were fine words and CHAMBERLAIN
must have uttered them with great effect
on tho minds of those Of his hearers who
did not know him to be- n rascal. He is said
TO be u very plausible speaker, which Is
altogether probable, Tor he Is very plausi-
bic thrif He plundercd the people Of South
CarVlln1 whll1 pretending t. unusual viz
tur and succeeded in making many honest
men regard him a. AZ exception among tho
e.rpet-oas crew, wi.,n all the time he was
tho worst q tlclut, for he lent good brains
