THE CIVIL SERVICE.

The general character of the civil service of the United States under all administra- tions has been honorable. In the supreme test-the collection and disbursement of rev enue the record of fidelity has never been surpassed in any nation. With the almost fabulous sums which were received and paid during the late war, scrupulous integrity was the prevailing rule. Indeed, throughout that trying period, it can be said, to the honor of the American name, that unfaithfulness and dishonesty among civil officers were as rare as misconduct and cowardice on the field of battle.
 The growth of the country has continually and necessarily enlarged the civil service, until now it includes vast body of officers. Rules and methods of appointment which prevailed when the number was smaller have been found insufficient and impracticable, and earnest efforts have been made to sepa- rate the great mass of ministerial officers from partisan influence and personal control Impartiality in the mode of appointment to be based on qualification, and security of tenure to be based on faithful discharge of duty, are the two ends to be accomplished. The public business will be aided by sepa- rating the legislative branch of the govern ment from all control of appointments, and the executive department will be relieved by subjecting appointments to fixed rules and thus removing them from the caprice of fla voritism. But there should be rigid observ- ance of the law which gives in all cases of equal competency the preference to the sol diers who risked their lives in defense of the Union
 entered Congress in 1863, and in a some what prolonged service I never found it ex- pedient to request or recommend the removal of civil officer except in four instances, and then for non-political reasons which were instantly conclusive with the appointing power. The officers in the district, appoint ed by MT. Lincoln in 1861 upon the recom- mendatlon of my predecessor, served, as rule, until death or resignation I adopted at the beginning of my service the test of competi- tlve examinations for appointments to West Point and maintained it so long as I had the right by law to nominate a cadet Tn fine case of many officers found that the present law which arbitrarily limits the term of fhe commission offered constant temptation to changes for mere political reasons. have publicly expressed the belief that the essen tial modification of that law would be in many respects advantageous.
 My observation in the Department of State confirmed the conclusions of my legislative experience, and impressed me with the con- viction that the rule of impartial appoint ment might with advantage be carried be- yond any existing provision of the civil ser vice law It should be applied to appoint ments in the consular service. Consuls should be commercial sentinels- encircling the globe with watchfulness for their coun- try's interests. Their intelligence and com potency become, therefore, matters of great

The county commissioners were in session yesterday. They granted license to Alex
 ander Cummings of 3S3 East street, and af-
 terward heard an objection to the transfer
 of Mrs. Hagemans license to Constant Noel Ter MT. Moeller showed bill of sale execu-
 ted by Mrs. Hageman conveying to him her entire interest in the former saloon which she conducted, including the license. There was also stipulation that MT. Moeller should have the privilege of running the saloon in
 her name during the period covered by the license if he so desired. After executing this document Mrs. Hageman changed her mind to some extent and entered protest with the commissioners against the transfer of the license to MT. Moeller or anyone else.
 The board dismissed the objection and de cided to make the transfer applied for.

sAcREDNEss OF THE BALLOT.

This survey of our condition as a nation reminds us that material prosperity is but a mockery if it does not tend to preserve the liberty of the people. A free ballot is the safeguard of Republican institutions, without which no national welfare is assured A pop ular election, honestly conducted, embodies the very majesty of true government Ten millions of voters desire to take part in the pending contest. The safety of the repub- lie rests upon the integrity of the ballot upon the security of suffrage to the citi- zen. To deposit a fraudulent vote is no worse crime against constitutional liberty than to obstruct the deposit of an honest vote He who corrupts suffrage strikes at the very root of free government. He is the arch-enemy of the republic. He forgets that in trampling upon the rights of others he fatally imperils his own rights. 'EIt is a good land which the Lord our God doth give us, but we can maintain our heritage only by guarding with vigilance the source of pop ular power.

 E. Swan the owner of Bessie B. His griev- ance was that the judges had announced the time made by Harry B. the winner, as 2:3414, when it should have been two seconds faster.
 The judges, when they learned who the man was called him up and asked him what he meant by such language. MT. Swan said he in moment of anger did use stronger Ian guage than he should, but be asked the judges pardon They were appeased and Mr. Swan was saved the fine of $25 which could have been imposed.

OUR SHIPPING INTERESTS.

Among our national interests one Ianguish- es-the foreign carrying trade. It was very seriously crippled in our civil war, and another blow was given to it in the general substitution of steam for sail in ocean traffic.
 With frontage on the two great oceans,
 with a freightage larger than that of any
 other nation, we have every inducement to
 restore our navigation. Yet the government
 has hitherto refused it's help. A small share of the encouragement given by the govern ment to railways and to manufactures, and a small share of the capital and the zeal given by our citizens to those enterprises would have carried our ships to every sea and to every port. A law just enacted removes some of the burdens upon our navigation and
 inspires hope that this great interest may at last receive it's due share of attention. All
 efforts in this direction should receive en-

The strength of the republic is increased by the multiplication of land-holders. Our laws should look to the judicious encourage ment of actual settlers on the public domain,
 which should henceforth be held as sacred trust for the benefit of those seeking homes.
 The tendency to consolidate large tracts of land in the ownership of individuals or cor porations should, with proper regard to vest thousand acres of land in the hands of one man is far less profitable to the nation in every way than when it's ownership is divided among one thousand men. The evil of per hitting large tracts of the national domain to be consolidated and controlled by the few against the many is enhanced when the per sons controlling it are aliens. It is but fair that the public land should be disposed of only to actual settlers and to those who are citizens of the republic, or willing to become

nub1ie concern. No man should be appoint cd to an American consulate who is not well instructed in the history and resources of his own country, and in the requirements and language of commerce in the country to which he is sent The same rule should be applied even more rigidly to Secretaries of Legation in our diplomatic service. The people have the right to the most efficient agents in the discharge of public business and the appointing power should regard this as the prior and ulterior consideration.
 THE MORMON QUESTION.
 Religious liberty is the right of every citi- zen of the republic. Congress IS forbidden by the Constitution to make any law re snectinp the establishment of religion, or nIrobib;fino the free exercise thereof |" For a century under this guarantee, Protestant and Catholic. Jew and Gentle, have worshipped God according to the dictates of conscience. But religious liberty must not be perverted to the justification of offences against the law. A religious sect, strongly intrenched in one of the territories of the Union, and spreading rapidly in four other territories, claims the right to destroy the great safeguard and mu- niment of social order, and to practice as 8 religious privilege that which is 8 crime pun ished with severe penalty in every State of the Union. The sacredness and unity ot the family must be preserved as the foundation of all civil government, as the source of or derly administration, as the surest guarantee of moral purity.
 The claim of the Mormons that they are divinely authorized to practice polygamy should no more be admitted than the claim of certain heathen tribes, if they should come among us to continue the rite of human sac rifice The law does not interfere with what man believes; it takes cognizance only Of what he does As citizens the Mormons are entitled to the same civil rights as others, and to these they must be confined. Polygamy can never receive national sanction or tolera- tion by admitting the community that up holds it as a State in the Union. Like others the Mormons must learn that the liberty of the individual ceases where the rights of so- ciety begin.
 OUR CURRENCY.
 The people of the United States, though often urged and tempted, have never serious ly contemplated the recognition of any other money than gold and silver-and currency di- rectly convertible into them. They have not done so, they will not do so, under any ne- cessity less pressing than that of desperate war The one special requisite for the com pletion of our monetary system is the fixing of the relative values of silver and gold. The large use of silver as the money of ac- count among Asiatic nations, taken in con nection with the increasing commerce of the world, gives the weightiest reasons for an international agreement in the premises. Our government should not cease to urge this measure until 8 common standard of value shall be reached and established-a standard that shall enable the United States to use the silver from it's mines as an aux Hilary to gold ill settling the balances of commercial exchange.

Delinquent Subscribers.

1t is an experience of publishers
that too many people are apt to think
it matters but little whether the
newspaper bill is paid promptly or
not. that it is a small sum and is of
but little consequence. This is not
because subscribers are unwilling to
pay, but rather because they are neg
ligent. Each one imagines because
his years Indebtedness amounts to
so small a sum the publisher cannot
he much in want of it, without for a
moment thinking that the income of
a newspaper is made of just such
small amounts. and that the aggre-
gate of all subscriptions is by no
mears, an inconsiderable sum of
money.
