At the annual meeting Of the Civil

Hon. Wayne MscNeAgh presided, and in
discussing resolution condemnng .he

cence that ha, characterized his conduct
since be retired from the Cabinet, Mr..
MacVeagh said that President Hayes had
consulted him in the preparation Of his
famous civil service order, of portion
Of which he MacNeagh was the author
When, however, Mr.. Hayes was put 70
the tes, practically. he failed. There
had been questionable political services
rendered by Office holders in the South.
S1r. Hayes allowed himself to be over.
persuaded, and the authors Of these ques-
tlonable services in Louisiana and FIori-
da were rewarded with public office
After that all hope Of Mr.. Hayes civil
service work was gone, and the closing
days Of his administration witnessed
Sherman trying to elect himself Presi.
dent By the aid Of the Treasury Depart
ment. Then came the short-lived Gar
field administration. Whatever hope
was in that was cut shor, by Guiteau's
bullet.

The registration books and papers as
furnished by Col. r. NJ. Sims, the Secre
tary of State, are mockcry and farce.
They are gotten up in The flimsiest and
most riGiculously cheap manner possible.
There is scarcely school child's copy

character. These books are the highest
evidence of the citizens right of suffrage,
nud are intended by the Act to be per-
manent record Of that right, than which
nothing is more valuable TO the citizens
of our State, and yet this record is to be
kept in set Of books which would not
be used for the most unimportant entries
in a first class business house. They
will not, in our judgment, last through q
single campaign. The Legislature in
tended the work to be substantially and
correctly done, and for this purpose up.
propriated four thousand dollars, but Col.
Sims. VIC suppose, thought it was good
opportunity to rebuko legislative extrav.
agance, and secured the work done in the
manner indicated for less than two hun
dred and sixty dollars. This is penny
wise aud pouud.foolish transaction. The
books will not last through one election,
and another registration and another set
OF books will be required at a greatly in.
creased expense to the State The whole
appearance of the books and the certifi-
Gates looks like joke, and will certainly
give the State and the outside world the
idea of huge fraud upon the ballot and
the right of suffrage. Messrs. McCrady
and Eurray have seen Col. Sims and the
Grsernor for the purpose of having new
cooks prepared at once out of the appro-
priation, and it is to be hoped that it will
be done. If i. is not, then Col. Sims
will be responsible for all of the trouble,
confusion and injustice which may arise
from his fiimsy and unreasonably cheap
work. These books and certificates
should be prepared of equal quality with

A MEASURE OF PROSPERITY.

In the Eastern States, where every
municipality carries debt, it is considered
mark of the prosperity of town when its
debt is at par, or still better, quoted at
premium. These Eastern towns ere in
the habit of exchanging circulars, too, in
which they note the principal advantages
of their respective localities. Mayor Brown
has received quite number of such circu-
lars, and it is to be observed that whenever
the circumstances enable these Eastern
towns to do so, they always say something
like this "W We desire particularly to call
'your attention to the fact that our city
e. debt is at par"-or at five per cent. prem
ium, as the case may be. These Eastern
Town Trustees are shrewd business men,
and they understand the things which count
Tor and against communities. They never
by any chance call attention to the fact
that they have debt which is worth only
fifty cents on the dollar. They never
point with pride to the fact that they
are "beating" their creditors by refusing to
pay taxes so as to deprive them of interest
on their bonds. They are perfectly well
aware that one of the best proofs of the
prosperity of any town is the fact that
its obligations stand at par or premium.

THE "LAgoaER" AMENDMENT.

It is not possible now to say what effect
upon the new Chinese bill the rejection of
the fifteenth section, which defines the
words Chinese laborers to mean "both
'Fskilled and unskilled laborers and Chinese
" employed in mining" will have. This
must depend upon the Interpretation given
to the bill by the Courts. a purely COM
mon-sense view of the question is that the
term laborers necessarily embraces all
kinds of lahorers and that unless it can
be shown that artisans and skilled laborers
are in some sense not laborers, it would be
impossible to smuggle in any Chinese un-
der the bill as it now stands. It appears
to US that it ought to be very difficult to
convince any American Court that the
term "laborers," as employed in the bill,
was not meant to include every kind of Ia
borer, and does not so include them. 1t
seems to US almost as clear question as if
the word "man had been employed. In
that case it certainly must have been con-
cluded that all kinds OF men were
meant; not young men merely, nor old
men merely, but young and old and
middle-aged, and black and white
and yellow and red. Now the word
"laborers" is capable of an almost equally
comprehensive Interpretation, and we do
not see how it would be possible under the
bill to draw distinction between " skilled
and unskilled" labor. We are therefore
disposed to regard the action of the Senate
upon this head as having no adverse sig
nifcance. We think that the words which
have been omitted were at best mere
surplusage, and that they added nothing
either to the strength or the clearness OF
the bill. 1t must be very prejudiced and
partial Judge, or very able lawyer in.
deed, who can SO manipulate the bill as ii
stands as to deduce from it the right to
import skilled Chinese laborers, or any
other kind. On this point consequently
we co net agree with those who fear il
consequences from the omission of the
House amendment,

And in this they show characteristic busi-
ness capacity. No city ever built itself up
by trying TO wriggle out of its obligations !;
by erdeavoring to create the impression
that it was too poor to pay its debts; by
inviting everybody to take notice of its in.
solyency. Outsiders will be sure to con-
clude that any town which is in such self
confessed difficulties must have wretchedly
bad prospects, and they viii take care
neither to settle nor invest there. There
is an old saying that sit is an i'll bird that
fouls its own nest, and those who at
tempt to break down the credit and injure
the reputation of their own town, are en-
gagged in just this kind of business. The
people of Sacramento ought to congratulate
themselves upon the fact that their credit
ors have confidence in the future of the
city, as evidenced in their persistent re-
fusal to surrender any part of their GLAZING.
They ought 10 perceive, and we have no
doubt that the majority do perceive. that
this state of things Is the most conclusive
testimonial to the rapid advance the city is
making in prosperity. For it is only your
poor, impecunious, broken.down city, that
can compromise with its creditors. The
man who is nearly insolvent can COM
pound his obligations, merely because his
creditors fear that they may get nothing
if they refuse what he offers them. But
the solvent business man, who is well
known to be making money, would be
laughed at if he asked his creditors to
accept fifty cents on the dollar. The
solvent business man however would not
think of making such an offer, because he
knows that his credit is his strength.
| There is no substantial difference between
the case of an individual and that of a
municipality. The same principles apply
in both cases. A city, no more than a
man, can afford to impeach its own credit.
If it does so it stops its own progress,
frightens capital and settlement away, and
| loses in the end ten dollars for every
quarter it is trying to save. We have too
much confidence in the practical good
sense of the people of Sacramento to be
afraid that they will be deluded into in
juring themselves in this connection, but
even the agitation of such foolish schemes
does mischief, and it is sure to be inter-
preted unfavorably in other places.
