ResIstlng the Authorities.

A band of lawless men in the upper
counties of Kentucky, on the Big Sandy
river, are resisting the civil authori-
ties and creating widespread fear
and panic among :he inhabitants. The
band is composed of escaped criminals,
horse thieves, &C., and is controlled by
the wellknownUnderwood brothers. They
are all well armed, and the country, from
its many inaccessible mountains, cliffs,
and deep impenetrable cayerns, is peculiar
ly adapted To this class of desperadoes.
Governor MeCreery has ordered company
of militia from Covinglon to proceed inn
mediately TO the scene of the outrages. A
battle is hourly expected between the

the Democrat county off ,ials, who were
indicted for maliea1ance IN Office. Every
effort was made to prevent the publication,
but the Btltimore Amsricn obtained copy

While civil service reform is needed and
to be dcvoutly wished for, it is quite evil
dent that it cannot be successfully carried
out so long as there is such n scramble for
office. The late rule laid down by the Ad-
ministratiun, that Federal ofice-holders
can neither hold nor be candidates for State
or local Offices and that only one member
of 4 family can hold position or draw a
salary from the Government, is salready be-
Ing violated, and in instances where en-
forced ia doing injustice to worthy persons
"a will be seen from the following para
graph:
There was an old man who had served
for years in the Sixth Auditors office, who
was so unfortunate rs to have son in some
other department. Both had families who
lived separately, and both were invaluable
clerks. When it was announced that under
the new rule, one of them must go, the old
man chose that the ak should fall upon
himself instead of on his son. "But," said
he sadly, when the war broke out | had
five brave and handsome sons. l gave
them every one to the Union army, and no
fault was found then because of relation
ship Only two Of them came back to me-
One fell at Gettysburg; another was lett

Those Republicans who are exercised
over Civil Service Reform-either for or

will turn out for the best. Where the new
methods are carried too far they will be
modified, and where there is too great lax
ity in the service the strings will be drawn
closer. Anyway, it is a subject that no one
need fret about. 1t gives the Independent
press an opportunity to slash around and
talk virtue that it does not possess; ena-
bles the Washington correspondents OF
daily p pers to gush over something that
they do not understand and to attack vigors

may he; and gives all kinds OF humbug.

the people in the attitude OF morlals al

Civil Service Reform is a good thing and
much needed. But Mt the same time il
