The Message.

President Hayes annual message, to
which we yield much space, is generally
commended It is in the main business
like document.
The president talks very well about civil
service reform. The trouble with that
is that while he has succeeded in giving
the country very good business admins
tralicn there is no perceptible difference
i'll the methods of appointment that he
uses and those used by preceding admin
istrations. Appointments so as largely by
politics and favor under his rs under his
predecessor. lie makes very good appoint
mcnts but it is nonsense to talk about there
being any civil service reform in many of
them. For instance take the appointment
of Harlan to the supreme bench and OF
Secretary McCrary us circuit judge. No
doubt McCrary will make good Judge
and his association with the president
made the Latter know it, but it is the
same old story that has been told in every
administration since Jackson began his
presidential term.
The financial recommendation of the
president and Secretary Sherman are
sound enough in principle but there is an
old and safe rule of letting well enough
alone, and it may be pretty safely assum-
ed that the less congress NEEDLES with the
present financial status the better it will
be for the business interests of the coun-

Magoon made fourteen minute speech
in which he denied his guilt and cndeav-

guilty person. He went over the story OF
his operations with Streetcr that day in =
rambling manner and sail he was Street

mat God in Heaven knew he WAS al
innocent man and that within three year
il would be proved so. Should even TIN
Mild prediction prove n true one Magoon
ftn would show what IN untruthiu
tongue can bring man to. All assertions
az his innocence have been accompanied
by so many known falsenoods that belle
in what he said was impossible.
His body was taken to Waits River fol

SOLDIERS HEADsToNEs.-At the last
department encampment of the state Of
Vermont, G. A. r.. n committee, consist
ing of Gov. Redield Proctor, John A.
Sheldon and James II. Dyer, were APP
pointed to have in charge the matter OF
erecting headstones at all unmarked
soldiers graves throughout the state.
The committee was organized with Gov.
Proctor chairman and james II. Dyer,
secretary, and in May last issued to the
selectmen of each town in the state cir
cuar calling upon them to report Il list of
all unmarked soldiers graves, with names,
regiment. company and date Of death, in
their respective towns. The committee
also caused to be published in all the
newspapers of this state this circular and
requesting any one to report 10 the com
mittee any such grave within their know-
edge. Reports from only enc hundred
and twenty-three of the two hundred and
forty towns of the state have been receiv-
ed Ninety-two towns report an aggre-
gate of two hundred and twenty-five un-
marked soldiers graves. 1t is believed
that there arc a5 many such graves in the
other one hundred and twenty towns
from which no reports have been received,
and it is not creditable to the patriotism OF
the selectmen of those towns that they
allow this opportunity TO have the govern
ment erect suitable headstones to mark
the last resting place of our dead heroes,
to pass simply from lack of interest to
look the matter up and report.

Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9S,sls79.

WASHINGTON, NOV. 2o,Slod9.
For tho last two weeks congress has
been brewing in the air, and now the
hotels and boarding houses have more
than a quorum. The heart of the city
throbs with new life. The avaricious
faces of the shopkeeper, the bartender,
and of the innumerable host who have
rooms 10 let are lighted with the expecta-
ton of gain. The departments and gov
eminent clerks we have nearly always
with Us. Congress comes and congress
goes and these 90 on forever. But Wash
ington is never herself socially, morally
Gmmorally) and politically except during
the congressional session.
A common remark is: " What Il splen-
did capital we will have in five, ten, or
twenty years Architectural improve
ments are in constant progress. Millions
have been expended to make smooth and
solid The streets. Parks have been laid
out in every section of the city. Fore is
of trees have been planted. Colossal
bronze equestrian statutes mount guard in
the squares and circles. Fountains, flow
ers and foliage contend with the miasmI
of surrounding swamps to make this I'M
fortunate locality an urban paradise. But
the surrounding swamps and physical &C.
ography are more potent than congression-
nj appropriations or the enterprise of real
estate holders. We will have splendid
capital when the seat of government shall
be moved TO locality more favored by
nature, and this removal will probably
take place much sooner than is anticipated.
The political significance Of the next
census will soon be felt in congress. In
five years the questions of solid north
and solid south will have ceased to agitatC
and distract the country. The solid west
will loom up and not even the north anC
south solidiiied can prevent that unsenti
mental section from removing the capita
a thousand miles from the tomb of Wash
inrton. But the north and south canno
be solidifed on this question. What OBJ
lection will Texas make, or any STATE
whose borders are washed by the Missss
ipp or the gulf. Tennessee and kentuck.
have the preponderance Of wealth ant
incubation in their western sections. New
England, New Jersey. Delaware, Mary
land. Virginia, the Carolinas. and, posi-
blv, PENNSYLVANIA and New York, are al
that can be relied upon for solid opposi
ton TO the westward movement. 1t woul
seem at first thought Titanic task 10 re
move the group OF palaces that compoS
the national, legislative and eNecutiv
departments, but the work will be cas-
when compared with the transportation
fcats Of the Egyptians three thousan
years ago. The cost would be less tha
the sum Louis NV. expended on Wen
saillcs. With modern appliances tn
removal might be accomplished in fiv
years. The reluctance of congress to in
prove the harbors and drain the pcstilcn
