HAYEs' CIVIL SERVICE Washington,
April 1.-THE Cameron Ring rides over civil
service reform under Hayes as II did under
Grant. Ten days ago, special agent of the
Post Office ascertained that Robert Peysert,
Postmaster at Bethlehem. Pa, was some 81 500
short in his accounts with the Post Office In
quiry showed that the office had becp, ,fearfully
mismanaged. Letters had been tampeyed with,
money letters lost, and postage stamps put up
ms security for Pcysert's private loans. Peysert
is an old Cameron man, having worked for him
since 1861. He has been arrested once, and
narrowly escaped the penitentiary for issuing
fraudulent naturalization papers. He was q
posr shoemaker when he was appointed. He is
better off now. He owns the Post Office build
ing for one thing. When he was found to be in
trouble, the Cameron Ring in Bethlehem stepped
forward They made good tho dcfciency; and
one Of sheir number, John Lerch, was put for
ward for the succession with the understanding
that Peysert should become deputy and run the
office. The business men and citizens have
fought this step. They want new man. Seve.
raj delegations have been here on the subject.
To-day the department decided to appoint John
Lerch. This is civil service reform in practice.

While it is alledged that Senator Patterson has

President Hayes in his Southern policy, Cover

berlain's cowardly abdieation. "Do you think

wouldn't. Suppose now he had his headouar-

Packard is made of sterner stuff than Chamber

rights of those who elected him. \ Kellogg has
always been noted for concerting dangerous
schemes, but leaves their execution to others

superintendent of the State Penitentiary pro-
ceeded to the State House in command of q

began the work of cleansing the building, scour-

whtewashing the walls. The task promises to
ne no easy one, as the building was left in q
very filthy condition by the constaOulary.
= Shortly after o'clock all the archives, books
and furniture which have been used by the
Hampton government since its inauguration in
december last, were removed to the State
Hsuse, and not long afterwards Gov. Hampton
nnostentatiously walked down and entered upon
the possession of the Executive Chamber. All
tho rest at the Democratic candidates for the
State offices have been assigned quarters in the
aute-room or reception chamber of the Execu-

About half of the Republican contestants for
the State Offices called separately on Governor
Hampton yesterday morning to pay their res

Probability of War.

LONDON, April IA special to the Times from
st. Petersburg says that the Portes note has been
received, and that war is manifest, but will not
break out for q week..
A Reuter- dispatch from Constuntinople states
that the Turkish Senate did not reserve the de-
cisiou of..disputes regarding Montenegro. At
the last moment the Senate read an order not to
discuss the question. The armistice expires at
midnight, if not prolonged. 1t is probable
however, that both sides will remain OH the de-
fensiys.
At the Stock Exchange an unfayorable view
still prevails, and prices are slightly lower than
yesterdays worst. Aletter from Capt. Barna-
by says that he has ascertained that secret al
lance exists bctwSerr Russia and Persia.
The london correspondent Of the Manchc ,ter
GuardiA(sAays that he has the statement from so
good soutep that he deems it necessary to re-
peat it, that the Turkish charge d. 'atfaires at
Berlin has telegraphed Safvet,Pasha that Prince
Bismarck advised Turkey to reject the Russian
dispatch fromsi si&Shtari to the New York
Times says that fighting has been going on in tho
Mirietite country since Sunday, Dervish Pasha
having rejected all mediation. The first day the
Turks were beaten at Nevadis, but OH the second
day they captured tho position of Muela, half
day journey from Scutari.
s Tho Porte's circular was laid. on the table of
The House Of Lords. Lord Derby regretted
'that no could not say it was of satisfactory
-charaster, OR that il would lead to pacific set
tlement.
LONDON, April 13-P. MA Rueter telegram
from Constantnople says that the Montenegrin
delegates had rnaI interview with the Grand
Vizier, who informed them that the Porte reject
ell their demands. Subsequently the Grand vi
zier teiegraphed Prince Nicholas that the armis-
tice had ended.
dispatch from ST. Petersburg says the grand
council of war is being held there. The Cabi-
net regards the Turkish circular as a complete
rejection of the Protocol, apd therefore declines
the Portes proposal to send special plenipoten-
tiary to st. Petersburg as further negotiation is
useless. Montenegro will defer the resumption
OF hostilities until Russia final decision.

Infamous Prac,iccs.-Those pa

Infamous Praciiccs.-Thnse parties
who go sky-larking," should be made TO
know that there is difference between fun
and the wanton destruction of property.
Some of our citizens have suffered DANA
ges equal to more than 500 by having
their gates removed and cattle turned in
upon their vines, qhrubbery, and ornamen-
tai trees. Others have suffered from the
destruction of property from like sources,
and vet there seems to he no remedy. Men
have complained to officials and asked that
the offenders he brought to justice, but no
arrests are made. As we have said, fun is
! one thing, Int the wanton destruction OF
property has no relation to anything that
| il funnv, and those who do not appreciate
| the difference between the two, cannot be
instructed upon that point any too soon.
