HERE is the average Democratic opinion
of the civil service law, copied from the
Washington, Wilkes county, Ga, Chronicle
Of July &c:
Away with such civil service as thisl A
few-thank heaven, only few-Ji our south
crn paI ers can be found to defend such an in.
iquitous statute, but the time will come when
Democrats everywhere will join their voices
together in demanding the repeal of n law
which keeps traitors in power aud debars hon-
est men from holding Office.
We don't entertain doubt that "when
Democrats everywhere join their voices to-
gether"-provided the junction is close
and set up regular howl they will accom-
plish something like miracle. But will
not that uproar scare away the Mugwumps
And, II the Mugs run, who will take their
places at the polls The foolliiller has not
left any other set of humans capable of
doing such work for the Democracy as
these same Mugs have done.

operation. In 1874 the assessed valuation
Of property was only $s7 900, 900; now II
is Sl3O,0C0,OC0. In 1874 the population did
not much exceed the 4Si,47l reported In
1870; now 1t is at least a million. 1t has
drawn settlers from all parts of the country,
and the proportion OF Its Inhabitants born
In the state is only about the same as the

THE London Times has recently pub
lished a statistical article on the occupations
Of the people OF the United Kingdom
which is especially interesting by reason Of
the light which 1t throws on the condition
of Ireland at q time when the attention OF
the civilized world is being drawn to that
country. 1t appears that "since lSIl the
numbers employed In agriculture ia ireland
have decreased by 1000 out of total Of
1874, 900, and those who might be counted
as supported by agriculture by two aud a
have out of five millions. In England and
Scotland the land employs as many, and
probably supports nearly as many, as II did
in 1871, and meanwhile other productive
industries have supported the bulk OF the
great increase Of the population, But Ia
Ireland, not only does the land fail 10 sup
port one.half the number 1t had once, in
some fashion, sustained, but other indus
tries have declined as we'll. The number
engaged in building and manufactures, for
example, Is less by $3.50 than In 1871. 1t

why the work Was Done at the wash
inVton Navy Yard.

ington Navy Yard.
The New York World Of the 9TH instant
contained the following dispatch from
Washington
Tie Secretary ofthe Navy has had his atten.
tion called to the fact that private steamers
are termited to goto the navy yard to under.
Investigated. An excursion steamer, the Ar
rowsmith, broke her shan while down the
river yesterday; She is at present ct the navy
yard having this injury repaired. Several
other local steamers have had several hundred
dollars expended on their engines during the
last year Whether this Is raid for or not,
there is complaint on the part of local firms
that they cannot compete with the government
yurd.
A representative OF the NATIONAL RE-
PUBLICAN yesterday made inquiries about
this matter, and cleaned from Mr.. w. II.
II. Smith, the chief clerk Of the bureau Of
steam engineering at the Navy Department,
the following facts
The navy yards are expressly prohibited
from undertaking work which can be done
by private parties. Washington and Nor
folk are really the only yards at which, even
very infrequently, such work has been
done. With reference to each OF these few
exceptions, one Of which Is the recent re-
pairing Of the steamer Arrowsmth, Mr..
Smith says II was required that the party APP
plying to have work done should certify In
writing that he was unable to have the con-
templated repairs made at any private es-
tablishment at this city, and that therefore
It would be an especial accommodation IL
the privilege Of repairing at the navy yard
were granted. Such requests are made to
the Secretary OF the Navy, and, II permits
sion be granted, an engineer officer at the
| yard surveys the work to be done, and estl-
mates the cost. The owner OF the vessel
| then deposits with the naval paymaster
at the yard the amount so estimated.
| Thereupon, the paymaster has men desig-
mated, If they can be spared from the force
at the yard, to do the work OF repairing,
suspending them from government pay,
and paying their wages out OF the funds
| deposited by the owner OF the vessel. In
short, all costs of the work are paid In full
by the owner of the vessel on which work
| is done, and In no instance has the govern
ment been put to the expense of a single
cent.
As matter Of fact this occasional work
for private parties is IN no sense desired by
the officials, but, as in tue case OF the
Arrowsmith, II the repairs had not been
made here the vessel would have had to be
towed to Norfolk or Baltimore at excessive
cost, In addition to serious loss OF time
The work was done here as an accommo
dation, not from choice, or with any desire
to take work from private establishments

The bill to establish forest reservation
on the headwaters Of the Missouri river,
which was passed by the Senate yesterday,
was introduced by Mr. Edmunds. 1t sets
aside reservation ia Montana as anational
forest reserve for the preservation of natu-
raj forests protecting the headwaters and
tributaries Of the Columbia and Missouri
rivers. 1t is made unlawful for any person
to enter the reservation to cut timber, set

We hold this to be an automatic PROPOSE
tion; Statesmen employed in framing and
enacting laws should never be so situated
that their interests or the Interests OF their
clients will be promoted by making statutes
that can be broken down in the Supreme
Court. II we are wrong in this, then all
laws and usages which forbid judges and
juries to try causes in which they are inter
ested should be done away with. 1t is not
well that the two establishments, one for
the making and the other for interpreting
laws, should mix their business.
