Civil Service Reform, or What?

1t has been put to the credit Of Mr..
President Arthur that he has turned his
back on Malone aud his renegades in
Virginia. His course in consolidating
the Internal Revenue Districts show
that he is not entitled to the credit The
well informed Washington correspen-
dent of the Picayune says that in reduc-
ing the five Internal Revenue districts in
Virginia to three the President has dron-
ped Collectors Bolts and Rives, who had
refused to wear Mahone's collar. and
kept in the three officers whom Malone
favored. 1t is conceded that Mahone,s
suggestions and demands, are very
promptly granted by the President.
The same facts are stated substantially
IN the New York Herald. Is this the
civil service reform the President recon-
mended in his message and approved in
the Pendleton bill, or what?

The Mississippi River Question.

The Governor of Louisiana has caused
TO be held levee convention, which has
advised the holding of general conven-
ton of the States through which the
Mississippi flows, beginning with Mis-
souri,. The object of the Convention is
to bringI an influence to bear upon
Congress to make an appropriation for
the improvement Of the navigation of
that great National River. 1t is a sad
commentary upon the want of states
manship that measure so intrinsically
and manifestly proper and within the
scope Of the powers and duties of Con-
gress, should require such movement
to secure the attention of that body
We presume that no member who repre-
sents constituency in the valley of the
Mississippi, or bordering it, will be
derelict. Disconnected from minor ques-
tons, the improvement of the Mississip-
pi should stand on its own merits, and
receive the consideration which its para
mount Importance demands.

Waiting for the Wagon.


Aberdeen Examiner.
Representative Barksdale is exactly
right in declining to map out his pro-
gramme six months in advance of the
meeting of the Democratic caucus. 1t
is enough for us to know that he will
support the nominees, and we did not re-
quire any assurances from his lips or
pen to convince us Of that. Between
now and the assembling of Congress
many complications may arise; many
questions may assume new phases and
men may assume new positions in refer
enee to old issues, that exist within each
party instead of constituting dividing
lines between the parties. There is ut
ter lack of unanimity in each party on
the questions of currency, coinage, tariff,
river and harbor expenditures, public
land grants, internal revenue, interstate
Commerce, presidential succession, pos
tai savings banks, national banks, ma
tional quarantine, Mississippi levees,
and other subjects of greater or less i'm
portance, and it is due to himself and
his constituents that every member of
Congress belonging to the dominant par
ty should give these matters due consid-
Grafton in the selection of his candidate
for Speaker.

IHE N. Y. Evening Post communi-
Gates the pleasant information that "there
IS to-day a more cordial feeling in the
North toward the Southern people, and
heartier sympathy with the efforts of
the latter to develop their prosperity
and well-being, than there has been at
any time during the last 40 or so YEAR"
1t has never yet transpired what has
caused the North to cherish unkind
feelings for the South. The latter never
sought to interfere with the affairs of
the other, and has always scrupulously
attended to her own business. If the
North was angered on account of the ''pe-
culiar institution" that once appertain-
ed to the South, the North was largely
responsible for it. When African slaves
ceased to be a profitable investment in
the Northern climate, they were sent
South by the philanthropists who put
the money in their pockets and Quoted
their consciences by abusing the slave
holding oligarchy." We are glad, how
ever, that the era of good feeling has
come at last, and would not, for the
world, do anything to disturb it.

The false reports that were first sent
out concerning the Mansfield murder,
through the press, should be warning
to reporters as we'll as to the public, to
be on their guard. The good name of
the murdered minister, whose reputa-
ton had hitherto been untarnished, was
associated, in the public mind with the
preparation of an infamous crime when
the testimony since elected shows that
there was no foundation for even sus-
picion. 1t was bad enough that he
should suffer death, and his family the

OUR correspondent Record" returns
to his assault upon Col. Singleton for vot-
ing against what was known as the ell
llbustering" motions to stop the electoral
count after it had commenced under
the Electoral Commission bill, and says
that The CLARION fails to perceive the
point" of its objection, or desires" to
shift the grounds of cts CONDITIONAL
nomination" He is altogether mis-
taken. We see "the point" and know,
too, what we are driving at. We know
that on the main question of creating
the Electoral Commission, Randall sup
ported the Commission, and Singleton
opposed it; and therefore we said Sin
gleton could be trusted if the expedient
which, according to Senator Edmunds
who reported the Commission bill, saved
the Republicans party from destruction
and lost the Democrats their victory,
should be attempted again. Referring
OF course to the creation of another
Commission for counting the vote of
1884, we said; "y it is to enter the can
vass for Speaker, THE CLARION puts in
nomination 0. r. Singleton, of Missis-
sippi."
On the "fillibustering" proposition
in the Democratic party, on the one side
were such men as the late Ben. Hill.
Lamar, Landers, Regain, Singleton,
ThrOckmorton, Watterson and Fernando
Wood, ETC.; on the other, were Cox,
Knott, Hooker, Money, Springer, etc.
We repeat that at this stage Of, the con-
test our sympathies were with the last;
but it sinks into significance compared
with the main issue of the creation of
the Commission, for if there had been
no Commission there would have been
no "steal" and no need of fillibustering.
We have examined the roll of the
Immortal seventeen" who voted against
the measure, and it embraces no name
among the members of the 48th Con-
