THAT INsPEcroRsHlP OF HULLS.-
Osr friend OF the "Seatte lntelI1'
gencer," need not try to shoulder
himself because we mildly suggest
the propriety of removing the above
named office back to Port Townsend
where it WAS originally located, and
where i; rightfully belongs. We are
charged with making an untruthtnI
statement regarding this matter, our
neighbor, in his hornet.like disposi
ton toward everything that does not
gloriiy Seattle, insisting that the In
spector of HuIls always had his Of
fee up there. We reply by stating
that we knew perfectly well what
we were talking about when we
made the statement; that the Office
was located here when it wSs created
(as Judge Swan, Maj. VanBokkelen
ard many others can testify, and
that it remained here until removed
20 Seattle on the plea that fresh wa.
ter was required for testing boilers.
Now come, Bro. Prosch, since exhib
iting such haste to call others to ac.
count, just own up like man that
YOU were the mistaken one this
time. The objections urged against
Port Townsend are simply absurd.
When we consider that an applicant
for license as pilot must, under the
present arrangement, travel to Seat
tie to be examined touching his
qualifications, and that he must then
come to this place to be examined
by the health officer, for color blind
ness; when we reflect that all yes.
sells seeking license must apply for
and receive the same at this place if
at all, thus dividing up the business
and compelling ship owners to run
back aud forth between the two
places; and further, in view Of the
reasonable character of the law
which allows inspectors to 60 to any
part of the district to examine YES.
sells, we think our friend had better
avoid any agitation that would bring
out the facts so disparaging to the
present Objectionable arrangement.
We learn that the fresh(O water,
said to have been so much needed
iT testing boilers, is regularly
pumped odt of Seattle bay. Or
course the water in that bay is far
different from that in our bay; how.
ever, if our information is correct,
we must insist that the weigbty(H
reason for removing the inspectors to
Seattle is slightly weakened. The
reason now urged, we learn, for the
retention of the officers at Seattle,
is that there are no machine shops
in Port Townsend. Considering
that the inspectors go to all parts Of
the district--even to Alaska--for the
purpose OF examining vessels, this
reason falls to the ground, because
the location Of the offices of iuspec--
tors could in nowise affect the con
venience Of vessels in being repaired
wherever their owners desired.

Strong Ground in Favor Of Civil
Service Reform.

Following are the main points in
the last annual message Of President
HAYES, read to the House Of Repre-
Eentatiycs and Senate, 9th Dec.
After coDgratulating the country
on the peaceful result of the late ma
tienal election. aud the cheerful ac-
ouiesceuce therein, the President
says:
A FREE BALLOT AND FAIR COUNT.
Continued opposition to the foil
and free enjoyment Of the rights of
citizenship. conferred upon the col
Ored people by the recent amend

walls in several OF the late slavehold.
ing States. Il has, perhaps. not
been manifested in the recent cleo
tion to any large extent 10 acts Of
violence or intimidation. 1t has,
however, by fraudulent practices in
connection with the ballots, with the
regulations as to the places and
manner of voting, and with count
ing, returning and caavassing the
votes cast, been successful in de-
ReatiDg the exercise of the right pre-
servative OF all rights, the right of
suffrage, which the Constitution ex-
pressly confers upon cur eufranchis-
ed citizens
1t is the desire Of the good peO-
pie OF the whole country that sec
tionalism as q factor in our politics
sheuld disappear. They prefer that
no section Of the country should be
united in solid opposition to any
other section. The disposition to
refuse a prompt and hearty ohedi-
ence to the equal rights amendments
TO the Constitution, is all that row
stands 10 the way OF complete
Obliteration Of sectional liner in our
political contests. As long as either
OF these amendments is fagrantly
violated or disregarded 1t is safe to
assume that the people who placed
them in the Constitution, as embody-
ing the legitimate results Of the war
for the Union, and who believe them
10 be wise and necessary, will con-
tinue to act together and 10 insist
that they shall be obeyod. The
paramount question still is. as to
the enjoyment of the right by every
American citizen who has the re-
quisite qualifications, to freely cast
his vote and 10 have it honestly
counted With this question right
ly settled, the country will be re
lieved OF the contentious of The past,

tRnt subjects, will then receive their
full share Of attention; but resist
ance to and notification Of the re-
suits Of the war, will unite together
in resolute purpose for their support
all who maintain the aui horit1 Of the
government and the perpetnity of
the Union, and who adequately ap-
preciate the value Of the victory
achieved. This determination pro
ceeds from no hostile sentiment or
feeling to aey part Of the people of
our country, or to any or their in.
terests. Tie violability Of the
amendments rests upon the funda
mental principle Of our government.
They are tie solenh expression Of
the will Of the people oil The United
States.

election shows that IN many parts OF

POLYGAMY.

Polygamy will not be abolished if
the enforcement Of the law depends
on those who practice and uphold
the crime. II can only be surpress-
ed by taking away the political pow
er Of the sect which encourages and
sustains it. The power Of Congress
te enact suitable laws to protect the
Territories is ample, It is not a
case for half way measures. The
political power Of the Mormon sect
is increasing; it controls now one Of
our wealthiest and most populous
Territories. 1t is extending steadi.
ly into other Territories. Wherever
it goes it establishes polygamy and
sectarian political power. The sane.
tity OF marriase and the family re-
latisn are the cornerstone of our
American society and civilization.
Religious liberty and the separation
Of Church and State are among
the elementary ideas Of free insti.
tutions. To rs-establish the inter
ssts and principles which polygamy
and Mormonism have imperiled,
and to fully reopen to intelligent
and virtuous immigrants OF all
creeds that part of our domain
which has been, in q great degree,
closed to general immigration by
inJolerant and immoral institutions.
it is recommended that the govern
ment of the Territory of Utah be
reorganized.
l recommend that Congress pro-
vide for the government Of Utah by
Governor and Judges. or Commits
sisners, appointed by the President
and confirmed by the Senate-a
government analogous to the pro.
visionsl government established for
the territory northwest OF the Ohio,
by the ordinance OF 1887. If. hsw.
ever, it is deemed best to continue
the existing fern of local govera.
ment, recommend that the right 10
vote, hold office, and sit on juFies in
the Territory of Utah, be confined
to those who neither practice nor up
held polygany.
FoREIGN RELATIONS.
The President reports the country
on amicable terms with the nations
of the earth and hopes the fishery
troubles that have grown out Of df-
vergcnt interpretations Of the treaty
81 Washington by EugIa"d and this
government, may peedily be settled
to the satisfaction OF both.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
In my former annual messages, ]
have asked the attention of Congress
to the urgent necessity Of reforma-
tion Of the civil service system Of
the Government. My views con.
cerning the dangers of patronage. or
appointments for personal or parts.
an considerations, have been strength
ened by my observation and expert.
ence in the Executive oGice, and l
believe these dangers threaten the
stability of the Government. Abuses
so serious in their nature cannot be
permanently tolerated. They tend
to become more alarming with the
of administrative ser
vice, as the growth of the country in
population increases the number Of
officers and place-men employed.
X X X X Il
The most serious obstacle, how
ever, TO an improvement of the civil
service, and especially to reform in
the method OF appointment and re-
moval, has been found to be the
under what is knswn as
the spoils system, by which the ap-
pointing power has been 80 largely
sncroached upon by members Of
Congress. The first step in the re.
orm Of the civil service must be a
divorce between Congress
nd the Executive in the matter Of
appointments. The corrupt doctrine
hat "to the victors belong the
polls" is inseparable from Congres- (
ional patronage as the established
lle aud practice of parties in power. {
comes to be understood by appli- {
ants fer office, and by the people e
eneraliy, that representatives and @
enaters are entitled to disburse the i
atrenage of their respective dis '
lets and States. n
1t is recommended that an act be O
assed defining the relations Of mem r
era OF Congress with respect TO the v
)pointment to Office by the Presi- n
9nt, l also recommend that the pro. r
sions of section 1867, and of the n
.ctisns following, of the Revised
-atutes, comprising the tenure Of
ice act, Of March 2, 1867, be re- a
saled. a

The provision made by Congress,

of the commission which had been
appointed to enter upon negotiations
with the Imperial Government OF

TO the relations Of the two countries,

PRODUCES more silver than any other
country, and is directly interested in
it as one Of the tive
precious metals which furnish the
oinage of the world. It will, in my
ldgmeo', contribute to this result if
congress will repeal so much of ex-
sting legislation as requires the
oinage of silver dollars containing
My 4l2} grains of silver, and in its
lead will authorize the Secretary
The Treasury TO coin silver dol
