THE venerable Ex-senator James
A. Bayard, father of the present Sen
ator Thomas +. Bayard, died at his
residence in Wilmington, Delaware,
on Sunday morning last, at the age of
eighty-one years. Ex-senator Bay
ard was an old time statesman of
great ability and sterling integrity of
character The Philadelphia Times
remarks that "more than decade ha.
passed since he retired from public
life and his mantle fell upon the
shoulders of his now more distinguish
ed son but the example that he set
in eighteen years of Congressional life
will endure for long while to come.
The best remembered incident of his
life, after all, is that connected with
that source Of woe to many other
statesmen, the Credit Mobilier bust
ness. Of all whose names were involved
in that scandal he alone came out
with clean hands. When some of the
stock was offered him as a matter of
personal friendship by an adventurer
(not Mr.. Oakes Ames), the venerable
Bayard declined to receive it, as he
could not consistently with my views
of duty vote upon a question in which
had a pecuniary interest" 1t is a
strange coincidence that the death
of this good man should be nearly
simultaneous with the nomination of
one who did accept the stock under
the same circumstances for President
of the United States. James A. Bay
ard was Christian statesman in the
best sense of that abused word"

WILLIAM NJ. EvARTs has sent a
message to the Senate. signed by
Rutherford b. Hayes, in which the
de .tacto President refuses his assent to
the bill providing for the appointment
of Deputy Marshals by the United
States Courts. 1t will be remembered
that a bill containing the same pro-
visions as the one alluded to, was Also
vetoed by Mr.. Hayes on the ground
that it was attached to an appropria-
tion bill His ground of objection was
that it was rider, but he intimated
at the same time, that if the bill came
to him as separate proposition he
would give it his approval. The pres
ent standard bearer of the Republi-
can party had previously said from
his place in the House, that the pres
ent system Of naming these marshals
was odious and unjust, and that the
appointments should be entirely nom
partisan. The man who is religiously
drawing Mr.. Tilden's salary, has de-
liberately slapped the face Of the re-
sponsible head Of his party, aud has
rs usual stultified himself and given
the lie TO his own words. The vetoed
bill, provided that the appointment Of
these unnecessary officers should be
made by the judges of the Circuit

be taken in equal proportion from

A Model Civil Service Reformer.

The duplicity of the leaders of the
Republican party in dealing with
the people is well illustrated by the
nomination Of Chester A. Arthur for
the exalted and important office of
Vice President. In the platform
made at Chicago they resolve that
"the Republican party, adhering to
the principle affirmed by its last Ma
tional convention of respect for the
constitutional rules governing ap.
pointments to Office, adopts the decla-
ration of President Hayes that the
reform of the civil service should be
thorough, radical and complete"
Upon this platform Of civil service
reform they Immediately proceeded to
place man to receive the votes of the

was bounced out of the custom house at

rupt manner in which he administer
ed its affairs while filling the position

discreditable character he was consid-
cred by the Chicago convention "a fit
