llOU WE ARE CHEATED. I
The Government of the United
States pay9 more for poor service
than any citizen. The universal
scramble for office, the doctrine and
practice of spoils to the victor, cor
rupt onr politicians more than any
other causes ; nor 13 it possible to
see any end to the corruption and ex
travagance and consequent extreme
peril of the whole system, except in
some such reform as that proposed
by Mr. Jenckes-, of Rhode Island, in
his Civil Service Bill. The speech
with which he presented the bill
states very clearly and strikingly the
actual situation and the necessity of
the reform, and we do not believe
there is any reflecting man who does
not sincerely wish the passage of the
bill.
It is very simple. It establishes
a Department of the Civil Service, of
which tho Vice-President is to be the
head, and provides that all officers of
that service, except postmasters and
such as are required to be appointed
by the President with the consent of
the Senate, shall be made from quali
fied persons. It further provides a
Board of "four Commissioners, who
are to determine all details of quali
fication, examination and promotion
in each branch of the service. They
may also designate what offices may
be held by ferales a3 well as males ;
may require any officer in the service
at the passage of the act, except those
already mentioned, to pass an ex
amination ; and may judge any al
leged cases of misconduct and ineffi
ciency. By such a thorough organic
zation of the Civil Service svstem
whose members are more numerous
than the whole army and navy to
gether, the Government can obtain
double the amount of the present ser
vice at twothirds of the present ex
pense. The Committee estimate that
the saving in the expense of collect
ing the revenue will be half of its
present cost, which is fifteen millions
of dollars, and that, with an able, ac
tive, and self-respecting body of of
ficers, an additional amount of at least
fifty millions in the internal revenue,
and twenty-five millions in the cus
toms, may be saved. Nor is this in
the least an unreasonable estimate,
when we remember the notorious of
ficial incapacity and corruption and
consequent evasion which now pre.
vails.
Mr. Jenckes very properly counts
upon the enormous gain both in the
economy and the character of the
public civil service by introducing
the same sentiment ot honor and es
prit de corps that prevail in the ser
vice of arms. '"Who," he asks "ever
loads his declamations with casts of
peculation among the officers of the
army and navy 1 Who ever charges
them with connivance at stealing ?
Who thinks of exacting bonds of an
admiral or surieties from the com
mander of a department 1 And why?
Because their honor and the good of
the service are one. The admiral
cf a fleet may disburse more than a
collector of a port receives ; but how
different is the position of each in
the national service! I desire to see
the collector of a port or of a district
raised to an equal position to that of
a general or a commodore." This is
certainly not an extravagant desire ;
and unless we are willing to admit
that . ignorance and rascality com
bined with party devotion are quali
fications for a multitude of the most
important public employments, we
shall cordially agree with Mr.
Jenckes, and see that the way to be
gin the reform is to prescribe by law
qualification of character and capaci
ty. The Civil Service Bill contemplates
a truly conservative policy. We do
not mean .the conservatism of Tam
many Hal, the City Hall and the
King, but the conservatism of econo
my, prudence, and intelligence. The
other conservatism, of the Tammany
and Mozart school, is intrenched in
ignorance and consequent corruption
and extravagance. There are few
propositions against which it would
more zealously struggle than against
that of Mr. Jenckes; for imagine
the consternation that a practical en
forcement of the JefTersonian priu
cinle of capacity and honesty in every
grade of the public service would
produce among the office-holders and
seekers who call themselves Demo
crats, because they vote the ticket
which the Ring dictates and Tamma
ny proclaims! But the bill would
immensely strengthen the founda
tions of the Government by stimula
ting education and making official
fidelity and industry essential. It
would palpably reduce taxation and
help to pay the debt. It would re
move much of the dangerous bitter
ness from our political contests, and
elevate them from a scramble for
spoils into a contest for principles.
There is no bill before Congress of
more vital importance, and we hope
for the speedy passage of a law that
cannot be plausibly opposed.

THE jjiXGLlSIl CRISIS.
The remarkable notice by an Irish
member of Parliament of a motion to
inquire why the Ministry had not ad
vised the .Queen to abdicate, if her
health did not permit her to remain
in the Capital, is really a blow at Mr.
Gladstone. For many of the mem
bers will suddenly ask themselves
and we mistake Mr. Disraeli if he
does not ask them why. that is not
the logical conclusion of the Liberal
policy. Separate Church and State
in Ireland, and you have smoothed
the way for a separation in England.
But when the mind of the people is
once fixed upon the essential reason
of snch relations, and upon the phil
osophy of government, a point aK
ways carefully avoided in English po
litical discussion should the people
not ask, why have an hereditary ex
ecutive 1 :
. Indeed, when the glamour of roy
alty is gone, and the king has become
merely "an hereditary executive,"
the crown is in great peril, not ol
being knocked off, but of fulling off.
The reason of the thing has expired.
It has become an economical and
other computation. The only ques
tion remaining is, how do we secure
the most order most cheaply ? No
one who watches the course of Eng
lish politics can escape seeing that
such a question is becoming yearly
more imminent. In every way the
prestige of the crown disappears, and
if the Queen were to die to-morrow
there would be delay and a decided
want of enthusiasm in the cry Vive
le lloi !
The truth is, that while the Queen
by her mild, maternal, and amiable
character shields the crown from in
cisive criticism, her son, the Prince
of Wales, invites and compels it. A
youth without parts and of no prom
ise, devoted to theatres, clubs, and
much more questionable resorts, he
otters nothing that can for a moment
divert the searching "question, what
is the use of him ? To the general
intelligence of the British people it
must be more and more impossible to
answer the question, as they see the
Prince louging at White's, or roaring
out the cider-cellar lvrics, or dancing
at tho Jar din Mali lie, while the
Princess Alexandra sits silent and sad
at home, why do we pay such enors
mous sums to maintain this young
gentleman and the system of which
he is a part ? Do we need this pa
geant of royalty any longer ?
Indeed, if w hat is currently report
ed and generally believed, both of the
Prince of Wales and of his younger
brother the Duke of Edinburgh, be
true, the regard of the English peo
ple for the regal system will be much
relaxed when they are its conspicu
ous representatives. A young man
like the late Archduke Maximilian,
w ho had an interest in affairs of state
and intelligence sufficient to guide
him to conduct that should endear
him personally to the people and
thereby protect the monarchy, would
have made a very different use of the
opportunities offered to an English
Crown Prince. Such a man would
not have found it impossible to cre
ate an immense and resistless loyalty
in Ireland by identifying himself
with fundamental Irish reforms, and
residing long and familiarly in the
country. The late visit of the Prince
and Princess of Wales to " the
brightest gem of the sea" shows how
readily touched the heart of the race
is, and how flexible it would be un
der skillful treatment.
The British heir-apparent seems to
reproduce the tastes and general con
duct of the late lamented Prince Re
gent, without his opportunities and
companions. Prince Albert Edward,
indeed, lives only forty years later
than his grand-uncle, Prince George,
but there is a century cf progressive
intelligence between their epochs.
George IV. had all the advantage of
the immense reaction toward royal
privilege of his father's reign, and of
that which followed the French Rev
olution. Albert Edward liyes when
the great Republic has revealed the
power of popular government, and
when the principle of that government
carries fundamental reforms in Eng
land. The real tenaeity of the sys
tem upon the hearts of the people will
be tested by the Prince, who can
have no other hol-d of them.
The British system has not been
strengthened by the late extraordis
nary course of Mr. Disraeli in en
deavoring to put the Queen forward
as an active agent in politics. It is
too much to expect that a man who
has been struggling for sixty years to
reach a lofty station will consent to
be driven from iS forever in a fort
night. And the antecedents cf the
Prime Minister should have assured
everybody that he would hardly hesi
tate to strain the system to save him
self. The British crisis is most re
markable, and not even the excite
ment cf our own can destroy the in
terest with which events in England
must now be contemplated.

A correspondent of the St. Louis j
Democrat, -writing' from Pond City,
" somewhere out West," gives the
history of a new settlement, showing
how "cities" are built in that indefi
nite f locality " out West :" About
three months ago, weary and worn
out in body and mind with business
care?, I resolved to come West and
take a homestead in this beautiful
valley, .under the . Homestead Act.
The pure air, fine cool water, good
grass and tillable lands, with abund
ance of fish and game, were sufficient
inducements for me to locate, as this
will undoubtedly be" a great stock
raising country. The railroad sur
vey has not reached this point, ex
cept the survey made 20 miles north
of this two years ago. 1 dug a well,
and built a stone house for protection
against Indians, and I no sooner got
to living at home in my lone house
on the hill, than one emigrant after
another came and pitched tents within
a short distance of my well. I will
mention here that this is on an eleva
tion commanding a view of threebroad
and fertile valleys of the Smokey Hill
river, Pond and Rose creeks. Within
a few weeks trains have come from
the mountains loaded with fine lum
ber, and numerous houses haye re
placed the tents. These I advise to
build in rows, and as they still come
I have named the rows Grant, Sheri
dan, Perry, Sherman, Webster, and
Anderson, and still hope soon to
name another row Colfax. My land
is now covered with houses instead of
cattle, but I entertain hope that
enough will be left for farming pur
poses. But what is stranger still is
that I came here to live a rural life,
but instead I am compelled to repair
clocks, watches, and jewelry inces.
santly. It would not do for me' to
disoblige my neighbors, especially as
they pay well, so I must postpone my
fishing and hunting propensity until
some other jeweler comes here. The
Arapahoe Indians will be here short
ly to get their quota of provisions
and clothing. This is emphatically
a Grant and Colfax neighborhood ;
but it is now so new that we have no
organization, neither county, town nor
State, for we do not know whether
we are in Colorado or Kansas. The
State line is close by, but its loca
tion is unknown, and 300 cr 400
votes will be lost to the nation's fa
vorite.
It makes one marvel to hear
about the big trees," of California
In the valley between Mariposa arid
the Falls of the Yosemite is a group
of 150 trees, no one of which so it
is said measures les than 50 feet in
circumference. One tree measures
102 feet at the ground, and 90 feet
a short space above the ground, and
is upward of 3l0 feet high. It is
supposed that these California giants
are of the same genus as the ancient
ceders of Lebanon, and from the ec
centric rings deposited by the sap it
has been estimated that some of these
trees are three or four thousand years
old. Years ago an immense tree
was felled for the purpose of being
publicly exhibited. It was 0G feet
in circumference at - the base, and
twenty five men were five days
bringing it to the ground. The bark
of another magnificent tree w as re
moved in sections up to the height of
11G feet, and so marked that it could
be put up in precisely the same posi
tion that it occupied on the tree. Af
ter being exhibited in this country
this specimen was carried to London
and remained on exhibition in the
Crystal Palace, until it was destroyed
by fire in 1S63. On the western
flanks of the Sierra Nevada surveyors
report a tree which ( measures 10G
feet in circumference four feet from
the ground.

, The Albany, Democrat says :
" We know by occular demonstra
tion that the East Side Road is going
ahead finely. Last week we visited
Portland. We went down by water
but returned by land ; and of coarse
we passed over a good portion of the
Road. We will not now go into de
tail as to what we saw ; but wiil sim
ply say that we endorse the letter
from F. A. Chenoweth and Green B.
Smith, published in last week's Dem
ocrat, as being substantially correct.
Their narration if anything, falls be
low the reality. We say with them
that we were agreeably disappointed,
not only at the amount and character
of the work done, but at the thor
ough preparations made for the work
remaining to be accomplished.
The Road will be graded clear

Let our men of means and influence

-A scientific cotemporary re
marks that the military telegraph
system now nsed in the United States
army is probably the most perfect in 1
the world. During the recent ex
aminations at West Point, the tele
graph corps laid wires and got them
in working order at the rate of a mile
in ten minutes. A light steel wire
covered with copper is used. There
are several ways of laying it. Some
times a soldier starts off on a run, cars
rying on his back a couple of reels
containing two miles of wire, which
unwinds along on the ground ; he is
followed by others, who carry and
set the insulated stakes, attach instru
ments, batteries, etc. But ordinarily
the wire is laid from a wagon car
rying the reels, which is followed by
the insulator wagon, and the instru
ment and battery wagon. The reels
mays also, in cases of necessity, be
carried by mounted men.
The Albany Democrat says :

Gentlemen : The watches manufactured hr
you have been in use on this Railroad-for
several years by our enginemen, to whom
we furnish watcties as part of our equip
ment. There are n6"r some three hundred
of them carried on our line, and we consider
them good and reliable time keepers. In
deed, I have great satisfaction in saving
your watches give lis less trouble, and have
worn and do wear much longer without re
pairs than, any w&tebes we have everhaj in
use on this road. As you are avvaie we for
merly trusted to th-ose f English-manufacture,
of acknowledged good reputation, but
as a class they never kejt time as correctly,
nor have they done as good service as yo'ir.
In ttiese statements 1 am sustained bv niv
predecessor, Mr. Lewis, whose experience
extended over a series of years.
Respectfully,

Gentlemen : I have no hesitation in saying
that I believe the great majority of locomo
tive engineers have found by experience that
Wahham Watthes ere the most satisfactory
of any for their uses. They run with the
greatest accuracy and. steadiness, j!ir:th
standing the rough riding e-f an engine, and,
as I have never kuown one to wear out,thej
must be durable. I hope to see the time
when railway companies will genrallr
adopt your watches, and furnish them to !l
engineers fiid conductors. In my opinion
it woi:4d greatly teud to promote regularity
and safety.

That he is prepared to furnish as good nd

I do not think that Harness LeHther
should necessarily be made in Santa Cruz, in

X3 Nor do I think that Belting, iu order
to bear thestrain of Oregon Machinery, niuit
be made in the Atlantic States.
