fired them, He brought up Pope's
forces in line of battle and then rushed
over To the enemy to perform the
same office, and then set the two
armies at each other. The old soldiers
seemed delighted. Hawley drew his
chair near and drank it all in. Miller
OF California nursed his wounds and
shook his head approvingly Sewell
Kept his eye on Logan as he praneed
around, aud Wade Hampton stumped
around to such convenient point as
would enable him to see, for there was
no trouble about hearing, while Cock
rel, Morgan, Ransom and the other
Confederate fighters followed him with
pleasure. But while the senators lis
tened the stenographers groaned and
sweated, and many IA kindly liberty
they were obliged to take with their
notes that the speech might appear in

Tho Civil Service Reform Bill.

The PENDLErON bill, which aims to
effect civil service reform in the adj
ministrntion OF the government, and
which passed both houses OF congress
by decisive majority, Is grand
stride toward the accomplishment of
the object in view, but that It's provis-
ions fall far short OF the demands of
the patriotic sentiment OF the country,
Is discerned and manifested in the act
i've opposition 10 the measure displayed
by certain members, chiefly represent
ing Southern constituencies 1t Is OBJ
vious that the motive which actnated
the majority was prompted from
fear OF challenging the reprobation Of
the people, rather than n conviction Of
the adequacy, efficiency and sweep OF
the bill Its passage may be ascribed
as o concession to the demands ofthc
people for reform in the abuses OF the
civil service demand which their
representatives dared not ignore
There were in both houses, however,
men possessed OF the moral cour.

its inclllcacy to effect great and sub.

The City Treasurer being elected by
a direct vote of the Ipeople is not So
much the creature of the City Council
as the City Auditor. He provides him
self with sureties for the faithful per
iOrmance of his duties and is more
amenable to them than to the City
Council. None can blame him for re-
fusing to draw checks on the Treasury
without a guarantee that himself and
sureties will be properly and fully
indemnitied, should trouble ensue. In
the case of paying the bills OF the Water
department, this indemnity has been
given by the City Council. Thus the
after isprepared to carry on the Water
Department as it has done pending the
decision of the Courts as to the constitu-
Of the Water Commission
bill and whenever that decision is made
the City Council will acquiesce, he it
what it may.
lfthe majority in the City Council
have become rebels against law and or
der by declining to submit To what
they deemed, through the advice of able
counsel, to be an unconstitutional
measure, until the courts decide the
question, then they are rebels and that
is the end of it, But as such resist
ance saves to the city thirty thousand
dollars year i'll taxes, it must be ad-
mitted that there is solid method in
,uch rebellion.
We would advise the editors Of the
Every Evening to possess their souls in
peace while the question is being decid
.d. When the courts decide that the
W ater Commission bill is constitutional
and all right it will be time enough
for Mr.. McIntire and his Commission
to step in and Mr. Coylc and the City
Council to step out.
