The straws which show which way

vice for relieving the people of a por-
ton Of their taxes by abolishing the in

A Test Case.

The Democrats will now have u de
lightiul opportunity to put in practice
some Of those maXims of civil service
reform over which they expressed sucl
enthusiastic admiration during the re-
cent campaign. Washington adyices
state that although there will be only
some three hundred offices, good and
bad, in the gift Of the party leaders,
when they take possession of the lower
house OF congress, there has been al
ready made dozens Of applications for
each and every place.
Under civil service reform, the occu-
pants Of these positions, with the excep-
lion Of one or two officers, should hold
their positions during good behavior,
The action Of the Democratic branch Of
Congress, when it gets the reins Of
power, wiz therefore show exactly how
much faith is to be put in their profess
tations Of reform.

Of course he was very much embarrassed

look down with pity on poor people.

The Same Old Game.

In the December number Of the North
American Review Gen. Grant comes
again to the front as a supporter Of Gen
Filz-John Porter. The main portions
OF the article are presented elsewhere.
From them it will be seen that the whole
force If Grants argument is brought to
bear on the one point that Porter was
aware that he was confronted by Long
street with 25,000 men instead Of being
tapped across the right flank Of Jack
sons forces.
The author fails, however, to show
any evidence that, providing Porter was
aware Of this, that he notified his supe-
rior oficerto that effect. Gen. Pope in
his report distinctly says, speaking Of
Porter, $50 far rs l know he made no
effort whatever to comply with my or
dcrs or to take any part in the action
Even Gen. Grant docs not attempt to
say that Pope knew anything about the
whereabouts Of Porter and his corps,
his only claim being that the latter kept
Mcdowell "welI informed of his (Por-
ter'~) movements" and supposed Me
Dowcll informed their superior officer.
From the evidences cropping out there
is plainly in contemplation another
strong effort to secure a withdrawing
Of Porter, with all that the term implies,
this winter, rim the next congress, and
to support this scheme he who was
formerly known as the silent soldier
has allowed himself to become a loqua-
cious lobbyist. Whatever may be the
Interior motive governing this change
of front on Gen. Grants part it ought
not to have, and very probably will not
have any great influence upon congress.
To restore Porter TO full! rank and emolu-
ments would be an outrage upon every
loval American citizen.
