The bill revising the criminal laws
which makes I76 pages Of printed or
226 of Ms matter, having received the
sanction Of the two houses, will to-day
or io-morrow be ready for the sigma
tuTe Of the Governor, and there is ev-

cheerfu!ly give 1t.
The general scope Of the bill was set

perfection may attach to, and errors
may have crept into it unObserved by
the committee; but the committee feel
satisfied that most of the changes
made in existing laws are salutary,
and will commend themselves to the
favor of the General Assembly. Re-
trenchment in the matter of criminal
charges has constituted one of the
main objects sought to be accomp plish-
ed, while at the same time the legal
rights of parties accused of crime have
been sedulousIy guarded. IT is believ-
ed by the committee that the effect Of
this revision will to very considera-
BILE extent reduce the expenditures Of
the State for criminal charges, and
tend to check the OvercrOwding of the
penitentiary by reducing the number
of offences punishable by confinement
therein

The True Civil Service Theory.

The theory of our institutions is plain;
it is that government is an agency created
for the good of the people, and that every
person in office is the agent and servant
of the people. Offices are created, not
for the benefit of those who are to fill
them, but for the public convenience;
and they ought to be no more in number,
nor should higher salaries be attached to
them than the public service requires.
This is the theory. But the difficulty in
practice is to prevent direct reversal OF
all this-to prevent public offices from
being considered as intended for the use
and emolument of those who can obtain
them. There is headlong tendency to
this, and it is necessary to restrain 1t by
wise and effective legislation. There is
still another, and perhaps greatly more
mischievous result, OF extensive patron
age in the hands of single magistrate,
to which have already incidentally al
luded, and that is tina. men in office have
begun to think themselves mere servants
and agents of the government OF the coun-
try. 1t is in an especial manner i'm
portant, if it be practicable, to apply
some corrective to this kind of feeling
and opinion. 1t is necessary to bring
back public officers to the conviction that
they belong to the country and not to any
administration, nor to any one man. The
army is the army of the country, the
navy is the navy of the country; neither
of them is either the instrument of the
administration for the time being nor Of
him who is at the head of it. The Post
Office, the Land Office, the Custom House
are in like manner institutions of the
country, established for the good of the
people; and it may well alarm the lovers
of free institutions when all the offices in
these several departments are spoken OF
in high places as being but "spolls of vic
tory" to be enjoyed by those who are sue
cessful in a contest which they profess
this grasping of the spoils to have been
the object of their etforts.-Dani@ Web

A NEWSPAPER and newspaper editor
that people don't talk about and some
times abuse are rather poor concerns.
The men and business that an editor
sometimes feels is duty to defend, at a
risk of making enemies of another class,
are often the very first to show ingra,i-
tude. The editor who expects to receive
much charity or gratitude will soon find
out his mistake; but he should go ahead
and say and do what he conscientiously
thinks right, without regard to frowns
and smiles.

A "REMINISCENCES OF JACKSON Speak
ing of General Jackson, heard, the other
dav ,an anecdote of him at the time when
as military commander in Florida, during
the administration of President Monroe,
he had tried at drum head court martial,
sentenced and hung two Englishmen, who
had melted, it was said, an instruction
among the Indians. President Monroe
feared that Great Britain would make
trouble about this, and summoned his
bold brigadier to this city, where he was
arraigned at a meeting of the cabinet.
John Quincy Adams, then Secretary of
State, who instructed Jackson to govern
with a firm hand in Florida, defended
him, and read long argument in which
he quoted international law, as expound-
ed by Grotius, Vattel and Putfendorff.
Jackson listened in sullen silence, but
that evening, when asked at a dinner
party whetherhe was not comtorted by
Mr.. Adams citation of authorizes, he ex-
claimed: "What do | care about those
old musty chapsl Blast Grotius, blast
Vattel. and blast the Puifeu-chap. This

Hickory cared little about arguments
and authorities, and he believed that "to
the victors belong the spoils. "-Boston
