Canadian Civil Service.

Lest week we gave Mr.. Brssseau's in
This week we repeat some of his descrip-
ton n the Canadian civil service This
service embraces all postoffire employees.
customs and revpn"e officers. in short, all
the civil employees of the government. Of
which there are over five thousand. All
these officers are appointed on competitive
examination, and are appointed as the
man said he was sentenced to prison,
during good behavior or for life. One
OF the rules of the service is that no civil
service officer can vote or express an
opinion on the respective merits of rival
candidates running for office. and instant
dismissal would follow the breaking of
the rule. if the offense was reported.
These officers pay two per cent per
annum of their salaries. or rather, govern.
mpnt retains that as a pension fund, and
any officer who has served thirty years
can resign and retire on full salary during
the remainder of his life; or if disabled
after ten wears of service can retire and
receive ten pereent of his salary as PEN
sion; that is. if man has salary of two
thousand dollars. he can receive two hun
dred dollars on such retirement Besides

We have no doubt made some errors
from the mnagre notes Of conversation o
some considerable length. but such are
mainly the details of the Canadian civil
service which might be copied by our owl
government with advantage, and which
we believe some of our public men have
advocated and urged with the best Of
motives, but with the poorest success
There the officer has no political foes &c
pursue him for his political scalp, so hi
fears no one while he does his duty, ant
has no political friends to SHE'D and pro
tect if he does not; so he has no tempta
tions to official dishonesty to please friends
. and dishonesty or faithlessness in dis
charge of duty means ruin, so the iriu
tnce is to keep uim honest, and he knows
there are plenty VINO would he glad of his
place, and SO would be likely oreport any
rcmssness on his part.
A civil service in the United States
founded on some such model would mean
more faithful and economical service, less
taxes and less corruption.

OPENING A RIVAL TELEGRAPH LINE.

THE MUTUAL UNION COMPANY READY FOR BUsI-
NESS BETWEEN BOSTON AND WASHINGTON
LINES TO CHICAGO TO BE OPENED IN sEp-
TENDER.
The Mutual Union Telegraph Company has
completed its lines far that at meeting
of the managers of the company yesterday il was
decided TO open offices at once for public business
The reports of superintendent showed that
the lines were in perfect working order between
Boston and Washington. Offices will be opened i'm.
medatey at all the principal points on this line
Boston, Springfield, Hartford, Newport, New-Yorlx
Philadelphia, Baltimore Washington and other
places. In some of these cities offices have been
already selected and it is expected that they will be
opened for public business in a few days
A tariff of rates has not yet been made lint
it is understood that it will be such "a
to attract "a part of the telegraph busi.
ness of the country to the new company Lines tn
Buffalo and Pittsburg will be ready for business in
the first week of August and IT peced that they
VIII be completed as far West as Chicago early IN
September. ''' "
1t was subject of remark in Wall Street yester-
day that this company had been enabled to finish
ITS lines without hindrance in States through which
the American Union Company forced its way with
great difficulty. In this city the company gained
ITS rights through contracts with the Fire Commits
sloners, by which ii agreed to rebuild the fire tele
graph system of the city in return for the privilege
OF extending Its own wires on the me poles
