shall honor the custom by deliberately
breaking it. If my official service has
been worthy of Virginia, then it shall
speak for itself, Tin aught have been
unfaithtul or unequal to the high trust
which a generous people committed to

lous defence or apology can change
faults into virtues. All I know, and
| all L dare affirm, is that, having stood
steadfast against every opposer for
what | have adjudged to be truth and

hands Of my successor the crown ofFir-

PRESIDENT HAYES AND THE

We are to remember now that the
new administration is pledged to re-
form of the Civil Service. How much

cannot at present be SEEN but its whole
influence must not only be promptly
given to this reform, but held to it by
the popular demand. The spoils system
has been so controlling an element in
our politics, that it will be very hard to
eliminate it There are so many men
in politics who are there for nothing but
spoils-there are so many men in Con-
gress with whom spoil has always been
the great political motive-tbat the old
system will not be permitted to die
without protest. If the new president
succeeds in effeoting reform, or in
taking important steps toward it, he
will do it against the open and covert
opposition OF corrupt men IN both polltl-
cal parties. Public virtue is hardly a
Republican monopoly, and political con-
sistency can scarcely be expected of a
party whose president is obliged to be
patriotic rather than partisan in his ad-
ministration. There will undoubtedly
be great deal of "6libustering" on this
question; but we look to see the reform
persistently pushed as long as Mr.. Hayes
is president. If he can in one term Of
Office purify American politics of debas-
ing element, his name will stand among
the foremost of those presidents who
have established claims to the gratitude
of their country and mankind.-Dr. j.

MOODY'S FINANCES.

Evangelist Moody has made an APP
peal for money to pay off the tabernacle
debt at Boston. and collections will be
taken at all future meetings. He said
there had been some vastly exaggerated
rumors about the evangelists going off
with from ten to twenty thousand dol
lars in their pockets. He said sixteen
years ago, when he gave up his business
to save sinners, he had not been actual
ed by any desire for money. As far as
money was concerned, he might have
made five hundred dollars night as a
public lecturer, having been repeatedly
asked to make such an engagement with
various lyceums. He did not want one
dollar of the money of the people of Bos.
ton. He would rather live on q crust
of bread than to take money! from peo-
pie for such services as he had rendered
He said man had come to him last
night in the inquiry room and refused
to speak on Christian matters with him
because, he said, he (Mr. Moody had
paid four thousand dollars for hors,
up in Vermont. Take off three thou
sand seven hundred and fifty dollars
