OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, d. C. Dec. 9th, 1879.
Senator Bayard agrees cordially with the ad-
mInistration that the legal tender quality should
be taken away from the greenbacks. He has
few followers among the democrats In Congress
as the administration has among the republi-
cans. An overwhelming majority win vote
whenever the question comes up, against any
present disturbance Of the Gu rrency.
or q different character, though still as OF In.
terest as connected with the government fin.
ances, is the Bill OF Representative Buckner
Soon TO be reported from the Committee on
Ranking and Currency. which proposes to COM
pei National Banks to keep con siderable por-
ton of their reserve In standard gold and silyer
coin Of the United States. This, It is belle we'd
fEseIR ap may fGM bt kept in tawf1r money Of
the United StateS," and Mr.. Buckner believes
this money, IL his bill becomes O law, will add
to the circulation throughout the country.
But neither these matters nor the propositions
OF Messrs. Fernando Wood ana Garfield TO issue
bonds to replace Ave and six per ~Ant. bonds TO
DC called in next year, will receive much atten.
ton In the House until after the holidays. The
holiday adjournment will be early this year.
and actual business viii not be attacked serious,

known TO make the coming Senate Democratic

nor into certifying to the contrary will fall So
IL should. There have been not often such
shameless attacks on any ofacial as have oeon
made on Governor Garcelon. 1t Is to his ere.
dit and that of his state tlAt he has the back
bone to withstand T2re pressure OF all kinds
brought to bear upon him.

The bill OF rights" OF the state of Louisiana
recently adopted, may have better sentiments
better expressed than the following, but don't
nnd them.
Inc only legitimate end OF government is to
protect the citizen In the enjoyment OF life
liberty. and property. When It assumes other
functions 1t 10 uSurpation and oppression.
At VIII @e hard to nnd anywhere a great and
important truth more clearly stated than here.
Ihe World is governed too much, and all un
necessary government Is infallibly oppression.
In the new constitution OF the State, by the
way, there are many excellent provisions rela-
tive TO the prompt and economical administra-
tion OF justice. It seems most admirable in
most respects. CARRoII.

There is nothing that the people Of
this couatry have q greater contempt
for than can't and hypocrisy. The Plei
sident's course from tho time he enter
ed the White House up to tbe present
has been one Of pretension and impos.
tare ON the subject or civil service re-
form. He refers to the Improvements
made in the New York Custom House
and Pest Office under the competitive
gysten. This In snare and a delusion.
The enforcement OF what In called the
civil service order nc the Custom House
is very thin dust thrown In the eyes Of
the rubIic. The competitive system is
a dodge 10 enable the President, the
Secretary Of the Treasury and the Col
lector OF the Port TO take ..care of their
particular friends to the exclusion of
outsiders. That is all there In of this
much Wanted reform movement. The
examiners know who to prefer just az
wen IS President Hayes knew who I'd
reward for personal and political ser.
vices. Blood is thicker than water,
and these examiners win give: the pre-
ference to their friends, just an Mr.
Hsycs gave the preference 70 Governor
Moves. who nominated him at the Gin.
cinnali Convention, and TO the large
number OF men who rendered service
ITO count him in" The partisanship
That brought the President and the
Cabinet to the support OF q candidate
for Governor, who was removed from
Office for no other reason than that he
was not in sympathy with civil service
reform, ought not TO expect the people
10 believe they ars honestly and SIN
cerely In favor Of this reform.-Com-
s1atrcfal AdUeTfiser.
