President Arthur's FIRST message, which
we present to our readers in . supple
ment to-day, is mainly devoted to bust.
ness. In fact, it is a business mes
sage, and all the better for being such.
Its Recommendations are little more than
endorsements of suggestions made by the
heads of departments, the most impor-
tant of which relates to the revision of the
revenue laws, the coinage of silver and
withdrawal Of silver certificates. On the
subject of civil service reform, which is
discussed deliberately, the message gives
forth no uncertain sound. 1t il up to the
highest standard of the stalwarts. AS
the Philadelphia Times says, while there
are few agreeable platitudes for those
who want d fraif bridge to get over to
the spoiIs system. there is no need to read
between the lines to understand that
President Arthur means to have the Fed
eral officers IS disciplined political army,
to crush out reform factions within the
PotSy oAN w iAohutoAu potVy cuptCu0CJ
at any cost TO the country. The marrow
of his argument on the civil service is
that the off GEES belong to the saints, and
the Stalwarts are the saints. He tested
them in the late national election, and he
testifes that they are, as a rule, deserv-
ing of high commentator" The mes
sage, on the whole, lays broad founda-
ton for an imposing structure of Stall
wart omnip0tence, by the positive control
of elections through the efforts and re-
sources of Federal officers. President
Arthur is simply Collector Arthur, who
was dismissed from Office by Republi-
can Executive and Senate for the prosti-
tuition of his position to partisan profit
gacy, and he accepts the fact without az
fecting to have acquired elevated ideas
with elevated trust"

Der, viz: Assistant, Recording and En-
crossing making four 10 all permanent
clerks The pay of the Assistant was q
trife under that of the Chief Clerk, while
that of the other two was a. day. The
remaining permanent officers were Ser
geant-at-Arms, a Door-keeper and Mes
senger, whose per diem was respectively
"a. The Journal Of the House for that
session made 456 printed pages, and the
appendix documents transmitted by the
Governor,) made 70 bpages-total, Journal
and appendix, $50 pages.
In 1881 the House numbered 76 mem
bers. The permanent clerks were six in
number, viz: Chief Clerk, Assistant, Read
ing, Recording, Engrossing and Enroll
ing. The pay of each was $6 day.
The other permanent officers were Ser,
geant-at-Arms, whose per diem was So,
Door-keeper and Messenger. whose pay
was respectively "a day. The Journal
made s9l printed pages, the appendix
500 pages-total 1857 pages.
1t will be seen that the permanent
clerks in the last House were only two
in number greater than misses, while
the House itself was nearly twice as large,
and the labor imposed on its officers, judg-
ing from the size Of the two Journals,
was considerably more than twice as
great. The employment of additional
clerks, &c, of which there was an unusual
number, is proof that the House found the
permanent officers unable to perform all
the work necessary. Il was an absolute
impossibility, for instance, for the Re-
cording, Engrossing and Enrolling clerks
to keep up with the business appertaining
to their departments. Still it seems to US
that the pay in some cases, even consid-
ering that all the employees on the roll
were required, was too liberal.
