A Logical Result.

Ashas been predicted in these
columns frequently, the heads Of
departments in Washington end
themselves hampered by having
men under them who are not in
sympathy with the administration,
and not disposed to enter fully In
TO the work that is proposed to be
accomplished. Its said that there
have been some very mysterious
disappearances Of important papers
from the files Of the departments,
which the opponents Of the admin.
i'tration are suspected Of having
been parties to. Naturally then
the chiefs feel compelled, in justice
to themselves and the adminisIra.
ton, TO seek the services of persons
who are in perfect accord with the
objects of a Democratic Admins.
tration, and as effect follows cause,
so is this state Of affairs leading TO
a more thorough wedding out Of
; Republican officials, who are ont.
side Of the civil service law. Great
CONSERVATION among the latter is
the consequence, as it dawns upon
their minds that there is a way Of
accomplishing the result without
an infringement Of the aforesaid
Law. For instance, the heads Of
bureaus are not included in the
civil service list, and there is no
obstacle in their removal, then
those below are promoted, in &C
cordance with the civil service law,
to positions that in turn render
them fit subjects for docapitalion.
And thus the slaughter of limo
cents" may go on. 1t is doubtless
sad, but it is the fate of political
warfare. When viewed in its prop
er light it is a perfectly proper and
legitimate course of action. The
people by their votes last fall sig.
nifed their desire for change in
the methods of government, and
the administration is bound to re.
sort to the most effective means of
carrying out their wishes. There.
fore, every Republican office holder
of any prominence may expect to
hear a still small voice cay; Git

The good effect of a change in
the national administration are al
ready visible in the New York Gus

charge ofIho Treasury Department
was to direct all collectors to cut
down the exposes Of their establish

bic without impairing the eliicion'

that Collector Robertson finds only

the New York Custom House in
May, although he demanded 1856,
600 on this account for the month
preceding the Presidential election

years, but this will not make much
difference when the results Of the

We call "a little late," the season
proves productive. We escape tn e
damage from frosts, and vegetation
has an uninterrupted and rapid
growth.
This will be the experience this
year, if we may judge from the
present outlook. We will have a
productive season in all the vegeta.

grains with the exception of wheat,
