CIVIL SERVICE REFORM

Hawley.

1t is now understood why it was that
that eminent statesman and civil-servics
reformer, General Joe r. Hawley, of Con-
necticut, announced on the floor of tho Sen
ate tho other day that he would never
vote for any bill that prohibited en-
ployes of the Government from contribut.

man rolled into Mr.. Hawley's basket,
whose record for honesty faithfulness and
attention to business is as good as any man
in the employ of the Department. He had
been soldier in the Army of the Union
during the dark days of the rebellion. He
was good soldier and a true man. But

4 Successful Understanding About the
Place and the Waters.

4 Successful Notwithstanding About the
Place and the Waters.
Correspondence OF the Richmond Dlspatch.l
AUGUST !, 1854.
This pleasant resort has been literally
patronized this season. Springing into
public notice only few years ago. 1t has
attained celebrity enjoyed by none other
in a time so brief. The waters are shipped
at all seasons Of the year over this contl-
nent and also to Europe.
On the register we notice arrivals from
Maryland, New York. Tennessee, North
and South Carolina. Missouri, Ohio. Ala
bama, Louisiana, Texas, the District of
Columbia, in addition TO numbers from the
two Virginias. This affords evidence OF
the reputation the place has gained q! dir
lance.
To be here and witness the rapid trans
formation from sickness to health and from
decrepituds TO agility impress the visitor
with the potent restorative properties OF
the Eratcrs. They stimulate the appetite,
promote digestion, and exuberate the de-
spopdent.
The boarding department IL now under
charge OF the well-known hOtel.mauager
Mr.. a. B. Moore, formerly proprietor Of
the St. James, in Richmond. His rooms
are neat and comfortably furnished, bis
employees prompt and polite, and bis table
supplied with the choicest visnds and most
excellent vegetables.
The music is splendid, and at night the
gay and festive Of both sexes appear with
oil the vivacity Of elastic youth aud indulge
in the intricate mazes OF the german and
other exercises OF the terpschorsan art.
The lawn IL clean, shady, with good
walks. and convenient resting places. The
waters and surroundings possess fasclna-
ton and attractions which, once enjoyed,
will cause a return 10 the fountain Of youth
and health. met this week with Hon. j.
Il. Batcheler, OF Raleigh, y. c., who said
tits was bis twentieth annual return. The
situation Is not in level country, as some
suppose, but amid the Buffalo Hills, broken
aud undulating, with variegated landscapes
and pleasant scenery at every approach.
Tie two springs lssue from lovely valley
situated at the base OF the surrounding
hills, and the location seems TO have been
designed by nature a suitable retreat for
suffering and afflicted humanity. The &C.
commodatlons are ample for three hun
dred guests.
The waters are applicable TO numerous
diseases, and the testimonials from the
most eminent medical men Of this and for
cign countries amply attest their value.
Men who suffer from insomnia inform
me that they find here panacea; not the
tabled sleep Of Lethe, but sound and re-
freshiDg slumber.
The general good order. sObrety, and
freedom OF the place, combined with the
sociability and uniform courtesy OF the Wis
itors and the polite and accommodating
gentleman in charge, render it suitable re-
sort for those seeking the attractions Of the
country and the enjoyment OF health, pleas
ure, and recreation. j.

The Champion Blunderer.

The st. Loui, Globe Democrat, despite
its name Republican journal, is the cham.
pIon blunderer-we won's say falsifier, for
1t evidently speaks In ignorance. 1t says
that the bitter opposition OF certain OF the
Democratic members, as we'll as the united
protest Of the Republicans, has at last
brought out tba. the real cause for the as
sembling Of the Virgins Legislature 81 is
the almost absolute necessity OF redistrlct-
ing the State in order to insure Demo-
cratic victory in the FALL"
But the Legislature has no idea Of redis.
tricting the State for the election OF con-
gressmen. II was the "other fellows +"
that tried 10 force them to redistrict it.
The Legislature meets to redis.rict the
State for the election Of presidential elect
ors, the law now declaring that there shall
be "eleven and no MORE" whereas vir-
ginia IL entitled to twelve electors. That's
all.
The same blunderbuss goes of as fol.
lows:
"ln the Legislature there are l40 mem.
bers, OF whom 81 are Rexdjusters and 80
are Funders or Debt-Payers. The Bead
iusters are not all Republicans, but con.
siderable number OF them are, and the
probability OF the list being increased has
brought much anxiety to the souls OF the
regular Democrats or Plumbers, has caused
a good deal Of lying awake OF nights, and
inspired much lively thinking, the result OF
which Is the extra session Just called"
The fact is that the Democrats have
nearly two-thirds majority In each house.
oh, champion blunderer. But why should
anybody not an idiot argue that the Demo-
Gratis compelled Readjuster Legislature

have the State redistricted In the interest
