Senator Dawes is engaged in showing
what corrupt civil service this country
has been enjoying under the various Re
publican administration. In letter to
the Springfield Republican he asserts that
neither the Pendleton bill nor the Eaton
commission attempts to cope with the
whole evil, and proceeds to speak of the
relief of the president, which, he says, is
IAN essential part of the work before u.s."
The chief executive is, he says, being kill
ed by the exercise of the appointing power,
and by its attendant perplexities. Hewho
is fit to be president of this great republic
is fit for something higher and better than
all this, and should be lifted out of it.
This work must be taken out of his hands
and turned over to others. How to do
sonal control and responsibility for his
whole administration, in broadcast sense,
is a difficult question to answer, and it is
by no means certain that any single RENE
dy will cure the evil. But the senator
thinks it would be well for the president
actually, as well as in theory, to break up
the work of his administration into seven
parts, and freeing himself from everything
but control, hold each cabinet minister
personally responsible to him for the per-
Torrance OF the work in the part assigned
to him, making his tenure depend upon a
result brought up to the standard fixed by
the president himself. Let commissions
or appointees, so long as the constitution
and the law require it, emanate from the
president, but let their selections be
made, each by the man above

Hesitation Of public feeling as has
been aroused by the bloCdy deed
committed on Saturday morning
in Washington city. C~ommitted,
rs this act was, in a time of pro-

Of a man so greatly loved for his

caused strong men TO weep, and

1t is deeply gratifying to observe
how warm a feeling of esteem for
President Garfield had grown up
in the Southern States. The peo'
pie Of this section, Immediately
on the close of the November
election, expressed themselves as
satisfied that the interests of the
nation were in safe hands, and
they have, in abundant ways
since that time, testified their
confidence in the Executive.
Their horror at the fiendish deed
of Guiteau was universal and SIN
cere. The ~liberality of the Presi-
dents views, and the generous
nature of the man, strongly rec
commended him to the Southern

Special dispatch to the Cincin

Malone victory in the action Of

committee at Richmond yester-
day, although the anti Malone
Republicans are not SO ready to
admit this. 1t IS, however, a sub

full of Republicans who c0nsti-

necessity Of boiling the regular
organization if they oppose Ma
hone, for there is now no doubt
that the Malone influence will

can convention at Lynchburg in
August, and that the Republican
party convention will endorse the
Malone ticket. 1t is very proba-
BILE that Gen. Wickham, will re
fuse to- support Malone, even
though indorsed by the regular
Republican convention, but is
difficult to see understanding the
two Republican congressman,

action, and the Virginia Bour-

JOHNSTON ON JEFF DAVIS.

The Philadelphia Press has Il very in
teresting interview with Gen. Joseph
L. Johnston, upon the attack of jeff
Lav1s. upon him. The following are
extracts:
ellis calling me the Fabius Of the
civil war, thus constasting me with the
famous Roman General who won his
victory by avoiding battles, is amusing.
lie forgot that Grant, with no larger a
force than Sherman had. pushed Lee,
with Il force equal to mine, furter in Il
month than Sherman pushed me in two
months and IA half of continued hard
hghirg. The difference between Grant
and Sherman was that Sherman seemed
TO avoid fighting us much rs possible so
AS to save his men, while Grant forced
fighing from the time he struck Lee.
In many respects Sherman had the
strongest army. 1t was made up nest
ly of men raised in the. West, and used
all their lives fire arms; men who were
self-reliant, and fought without officers
almost.
"Iho hes: soldiers do,nOt come from
the ~populous centers. aThe man who
has always relied upon himseifis fuller
of resources than any other, aud safer
in an emergency. This bold, self-reli-
ant force Of Shorman's was Differed all

Grants. fbN
