Two pictures Of CIVIL Service Re


form.
IT would be a, waste OF words to
criticise the hypocrisy, lalsehood,
and treachery of the Fraudulent
Administration in regard to every
thing connected with reform in the
civil service. Two years ago, when
the loudest professions were made
OF an intention to correct the scan
dalous abuses of Grantism and 10
make merit. only the standard OF APP
pointment and Of promotion, it was
found that HAYES and his Cabinet
at that very time were bestowing
Offices and patronage on the worst
class of forgers, peuurers, and
thieves, male and female, who had
aided in the villainy by which they
got possession of power.
GRANT offended decency and out
aged'pubfic opinion by many of his
appointments, and by the manner in
which he upheld Ring chiefs that
VIGOROUSLY plundered the treasury.
But he did not profess to be a re-
former, and he INDUCED in no cant
he treated the public patronage as
III 1t were his personal property, and
admitted no accountability for his
acts. HAYEE started out deploring
the ways Of his predece psor, and
promlsing to open new book. At
the same time he was conniving with
SHERMAN to reward the scoundrels
who had stolen the votes Of three
States and absolutely forged the
electoral return of Louisiana, which
was accepted by the Commissio n,
and now constitutes part Of its infa-
nous history.
Never before were public trusts go
openly rrostituted, or We're Grimm
ais who ought to be serving terms in
the penitentiary 80 audaciously rec
ognized and billeted on the Treasury
as now. The frauds were perpetra-
ted with Che promiee that those who
engaged in them should not only be
protected against harm, but should
be paid by valuable Offices. And the
pledges have all been redeemed from
necessity, because it was in the pow
er OF the conspirators of high and
low degree to have already been
made.
Conspicuous among the members
OF the Administration as the noisy
champions of reform were Mr.. Ev-
ARTS and Mr.. ScHURz. While in the
Senate the latter had vahemently
condemnhd the practices under
GRANT, and denounced the interior
encc of Office holders in elections,
and in the management of political
campaigns. The former had express
ed similar views in different public
speeches. They proposed at the out
set to prepare get of civil service
rules which were to illustrate the
reforms intended fer adoption But
they never got further then this
PROMISE i''
In June, 1877, while Messys. Ev-
ARTS and SCHUBz were said to be
blocking out their plan, HAYES, un-
der their advice, issued his we'll
known civil service order, which we
now reprint in order to compare it
with the arrangements Of the Ohio
campaign, as formally arDodnfced by
the Republican State, for public ed
iicatlon:

Our Tunnelton Letter


The Crescent Comedy Company
gave their second public entertain
ment in the Town Hall, at this place
on Friday evening. Owing to the
unfavorable weather. rain falling
frequently during the day, am audi,
ence, not exceeding l25 persons, as
sembled to witness the above. A
special train came from Grafton,
bringing perhaps half the above au-
dience from Grafton, Newburg, Aus
rem and other points The program
me was creditablY rendered, and APP
peared to give general satisfaction
from the numerous and hearty ap-
plauses from the audience. In max
ing special mention of some, we only
refrain from mentioning all, because
it would take up too much space.
The first on the programme was a
farce entitled, bod Quied Lotgins."
La this farce we were we'll pleased
with the personation Of all charac-
ters. G. j. Shaffer and w. H. Ha-
gans were tho principal characters
in this farce, and they did justice
to it.
The next was an Irish drama en-
titled Paddy, the Piper" W. s.
Raymond as Paddy, the piper, was
really and truly the life of the eve
ming. To say that Raymond did
justice 10 Paddy, would bot family
express it, indeed, for be looked as
though he waa right from the "sod.' -
Raymond is, really more than an am
allure performer. Our friends Bona
field, Hagsns, Mankins, JefFerys.
Turner, and Master Freddy Crit
fifth in this drama carried ont their
parts splendidly, Miss Lizzie Turn.
or as Kathleen, in her cool and lady.
like manner proved hercelf more
than an amateur
Next was tenn perance farce eati-
tied, "a Drop Too Much" Mr.. and
Mrs. Turner as Farmer Drinkwater
and Granny Drinkwater were the
leading characters. We really didn't
recognize Bob in the old farmers
costume, he looked like some old
granger, and as for Mrs. T. she was
Ia every sense Of the word a scoldinp
old granny. Miss Julia Bonafeld as.
Jerusha Drinkwster, carried her part
out to perfection.
Part fourth was a dutch sketch or. =
titled, "The Prosecuted Dutohman."
G. J. Sbafer, A. F. Gibson and Miss
