CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
A Bill Completed and to be Reported
to the House To-day.

WASHINGTON, December 8.-Acting
Chairman Kasson and the other
members of the House select CONS
mittee on civil service reform have
been industriously engaged this
week in perfecting the details of a
civil service bill which has been pre>
pared by Mr.. Kasson. Late this
afternoon the bill was finally com
pleted and will be reported to the
House tomorrow. Tt provides that
all clerks and other subordinate
officers and employees in the depart>
ments and bureaus at Washington
and in custom-houses, post>offices,
ard all other offices Of the general
government throughout the Union
in which the official and clerical
force shall equal or exceed ten per-
sons, shall be appointed for term of
four years, and shall not be removed,
except for misbehavior or inef6-
cheney. At the end of his first term
any clerk or other subordinate officer
or employe who has proved himself
competent and worthy shall be en-
titled to reappointment for second
term of four years, and his reap
pointment for a third, fourth, or
fifth term is not prohibited.
Applicants for Government EN-
ployment of the grades mentioned
are to be mentioned by board, and
none shall be appointed who have
not satisfactorily passed the required

Persons now in the public service

expiration of four years from the
date of their appointment, when they

ment for second term of four
years. All appointments hereafter
made are to be fail ly apportioned
among the several States and repre-
sentative districts,

thought of abolishing the internal
revenue system.
81 think, said he; ''there are nu-
merous other reforms needed before
relief is given to the banks, perfume
ries, patent medicines, matches,
playing cards, whisky and tobacco.
I would gladly get rid of this whole
system, with its annoying machinery
and its hordes of federal officials; but
I think it ought to be considered
only in connection with a proper re-
vision of the tariff"

Looking to the Forfeiture of the Char
ter and Turning the City into
a Taxing-District.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, December 8.-A
large number of the most respectable
people in Nashville met at the Ma
sonic Theater tonight, at which
citizens reform association was or
ganized by the election of Col. A. S.
Colyar presideet. The following
resolutions, presented by Col. Colyar,
were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the ward system
of municipal government for the
city of Nashville has proved failure.
Resolved, That while conservatism
and intelligence demand that an es-
tablished system shall not be rashly
changed, that Irregularities or even
great abuses of a system should be
corrected, leaving a system good in
itself still standing, yet where the
system, after long and expensive
tests, itself proves a failure, it
would be gross negligence and slug
gish Indifference, leading to self
destruction, not to change it.
Resolved, That the great error of
the ward system as heretofore kept
up in many cities, as we believe, in
it's working is two-fold. First, it
gives two much power to leading
ward politicians, who, as rule, are
not trained to business, and are not
suited to manage the business affairs
of city, and we hereby utter our
solemn and deliberate Judgment
that what city needs in the
conduct of its affairs is business
men and not legislators; second, the
ward system as practiced is an efs
fort to transact business without
any head, and is founded in an
established fallacy, that is, large
numbers with equal powers. This
may be right in policy, but it is
established fallacy in business which
demands consideration and personal
responsibility. Therefore
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this meeting that the city of NASH
vile will be better off, and its bus
mess affairs better managed, if they
are put the hands of five frstsclass
business men selected alone by the
legal voters on account of their
business capacity, than in the hands
of any larger number; it Is further
Resolved, That we hereby instruct
our representative elected from Da
wilson County to the General ASS
sembly to use all possible means to
procure the passage of such bill
as will carry into effect the views
herein expressed.

"NOT BOOTY BUT REFORM. {"

The Knoxville Tribune deeming
augmentation too heavy for its
legs to sustain has gone into humor,
irony and sarcasm.
AS specimen of it's haln1or, it
says that the Democratic party
cares for reform only and not for
the Offices. We wonder how many
Republican officers the Democratic
Legislature will leave in power!
We wonder how many Republicans
would be left in Federal offices if
the Democrats should elect the
next President!
AS a specimen of the Tribune's
irony, it says that the Democratic
party before it goes into power
aims to abolish great multitude
of offices as an evidence of its un-
selfishness. Democrats are gener-
ally in favor of showing their IN
selfi5hness by voting to abolish
offices when filled by Republicans;
but when they get into power these
dead offices are all resurrected.
AS a specimen of the Tribune's
sarcasm, it says that "the Demo-
crat never goes to the polls casting
his vote with the hope that he may
change his political lotW Oh, for a
thousa and fans, and smelling salts,
world without end!
Mr.. Tribune here's the truth of
politics: Men are men, whether Re-
publieans or Democrats. Being a
Republican does not make man
honest, being Democrat does not
make man dishonest. When Re-
publicans are ia power, there are
hosts of Republicans seeking office;
not for the good of the party, not for
the good of the country for
the good of themselves. And when
Democrats are in power, there are
hosts of Democrats seeking office;

not for the good of their party, not
for the good of their country,-but
for the good of themselves.
Don't you know, Mr.. Tribune,
that if Democratic Presi-
dent should be elected
in 1884, that, at least
nine hundred and ninety-nine
thousand Democrats would at once
begin to scheme to get the places
of the one hundred thousand Re
publicans now in office? Don't you
know that there are over two hum
bred Democrats scheming to get
some of the various State offices
now filed by a small squad of Re
publicans
Are all these men as you say,
"unselfsh in their aims ?"
Mr.. Tribune, is not your own Sc
nior editor, the very one who wrote
the foregoing specimens of humor,
irony and sarcssm,-is he, himself,
not a candidate for office before the
Democratic Legislators? And is
he prompted by purely unselfish
disposition to benefit the people in
seeking that office?
Oh, Mr.. Tribune, you are young
and sophisticated, and, like badly
made kettle, boil over too often at
the spout; but when you get older
you will find that Republicans and
Democrats are very much like
chickens-they generally keep one
eye on the corn-crib; and when
picked of their political feathers
you can't tell one from the other.

The Presidents Probable Bride
PHILADELPHIA Ledqer


The gossips all over the country are
busy naming Mrs. Craig Wadsworth as
the probable bride of President Arthur.
Mrs Wadsworth, who has been one of
the favored few at the recent receptions
in the White House, is well known in
the society circles of Philadelphia. She
is descendant of one of the first fami
lies of Pennsylvania, her great great
grandfather, Rev. Richard Peters, of
England, having emigrated to this city
over $50 years ago. The history of the
Peters family is well known to all old
time Philadelphians. Richard Peters,
son of Judge Peters and grandfather of
Mrs. Wadsworth, was in his day one of
the ablCst lawyers IN Philadelphia.
He married Abigail Willing, daugh
ter of Thomas Willing, and at
his death left four children, among
whom was Francis Peters, the father of
Mrs Wadsworth. Francis Peters mar
ried a daughter of Col. Samuel Miller, of
the United States army, and spent the
greater part of his life abroad. He died
in Paris, May 10, 1861, and his remains
were brought to this CITY and inferred in
Christ Churchyard, Fifth and Arch
streets. Mr.. Peters was member of the
City Troop, and for a time lived at 1921
Chestnut street. After his death, how
ever, his widow, who is still living, oc-
cupied a house at 1924 Girard Street,
where Miss Lena Peters made her debut
into society. She was beautiful bru-
nette, fascinating, witty and accom-
plished, and soon had scores of admirers
bowlng at her shrine. Her wedding, in
1868, to Craig Wadsworth, son of Gen.
James S. Wadsworth, of the United
States army, was the most brilliant event
of that year. The ceremony was per
formed in st. Peters Protestant
Episcopal Church, Third and
Pine streets Mr. Wadsworth lived but
a few years after his marriage, and at his
death left two sons, James and Craig.
Mrs. Wadsworth has spent the past two
winters at the capital, where her beauty
and charm of conversation has won
admiration from every side. She has
three brothers and a sister living. Gen
eral Wadsworth, father of Craig Wads
worth, died in 1864 of wounds received
in the battle of the Wilderness. in which
he commanded the Fourth Division of
the Fifth Corps of the Union army He
was the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor of New York in November, 1852,
and was defeated by HOratio Seymour5
His wife was Miss Wharton, of Phila-
delphia.

Mr.. LincOln's Remains Petrifled.

A correspondent of the Missouri Re-
publican writes that paper from Spring
field. Illinois:
'The attempt to steal the remains of
MIR. Lincoln about three years since is
remembered by almost every one. Ever
since then the public, in fact everybody
save half dozen persons or so, intimate
ly connected with the Lincoln Monu.
ment Association, supposed Mr.. Lin
coins remains were enclosed in the mar.
bic sarcophagus which stands in the
vestibule leading to the crypts, where
other members of the family are en-
tombed. This is not so, as your
correspondent learned to-day for the
first time. All that remains of
Mr.. Lincoln have been buried in
the ground, under some portion
of the immense granite pile forming his
monument, ever since the attempted rob.
berry, and are now in a complete state of
petrifcation. This startling statement
is from one who knows, and will be
news to all but very few persons, as it
was understood at the time that the en-
balmers' work at Washington, imme-
diately after the death of Mr. Lincoln.
was not a success, but a bungle. Soon
after the remains were entombed at this
city, in 1866 66, it was said they were In
a bad state of decomposition, and that
the embalming was not working. This
seems to have been an error, as there is
no doubt but that the statement that his
remains have turned to stone is true"
