The Civil Service Considered Reasons for a General Reorganlxatlon The "Rings" and How they Grow Up The South The Cabinet Personal etc., etc. Washington, D. C, Mar. 27, 1877, Many thoughtful men, familiar with Department business here, favor a general re-organization of the vaiious offices. Their course of reasoning is someihinsr like this : "When the war began a sudden and enormous increase in the lorco of the . Departments be came necessary. Men were appoint ed without regard to qualifications. Some happened to be efficient, and others otherwise. By the advance in the- cost of. living, the salaries paid by Government remainino, as be fore and outside salaries being in creased, the Government clerkships becomo comparatively undesirable, and the better classes, after holding them for awhile sought and obtained positions in banks, counting houses, etc., or went into business for them selves. The inefficient ones remained in the reductions thai followed the war; the clerk who could get 'influ. ence' remained whether, qualified or not Gradually, too, from the more fact of having bean long in the of fices, many who koew little of busi ness have come to have important po sitions conferred upon them in the va rious offices." In this way, it id ar gued, a generally inferior set. of men havo got into places requiring a. high order of ability, have come to feel so cure in them, and are allowing tho publio machine to run itself. It is not claimed that tho same amount oi work, or nearly as much, can be got out ol Government clerks as is done by an equal number of men in private busi ness; but for this very reason it is leld that cen shall be employed who will do some work and do it under standing!. It is apparent, too, that tho system in nse when a few hundred clerks are all that the Government service re quires, may be deficient when that work is increased ten fold in amount, and has assumed varieties unknown before. And uo thorough reorganiza tion has ever taken placo. There is also a tendency to the formation of "rings" whore the heads of Bureaus come and go very fre quently, and the subordinates "go on forever." In various ofhees as the Pension, Patent aud Land offices in the Interior Department the old clerks have seen as many Commission ers come and go as there are gray hairs in their ancient heads. Suppose thoroughly competent and honest Commissioner is appointed, he has heard of the rings of course, for every body has, and he wishes to break them np. He begins to investigate He makes some progress, porhaps, and might in time correct abuses or he might break np gangs of speculators who are abusing their placos under him. But in no case within my recollection has a good bubinessman been kept long enough in any of these places to ac complish anything. The mass of inef ficiency and guilt remains tho power that might possibly invigorato and re form it, U forever changing. For these and other reasons it is held that there should be a general change in the Departments." It may be gradual or it may be instantane ous, but if judiciously" made I think it would be beneficial. There are innumerable stories con cerning changes in the Cabinet. They are supposed to have, originated in disagreements on the Southern ques tion, but so far they effect only that restless and perverse genius, Secreta ry Schnra,snd perhaps they grow out of the popnlar belief that be is by na ture incapable of remaining anywhere or agree'ing with any body. Itis not a Cabinet to stick together, as every body knows, and it may tumble to pieces anytime. I should not be sur prised to see Evirts go back to New York, Key to Tenireteef and Dpvens to Massachusetts wilbii six months. The Lord knows where Schurz will be. Aa going out oi the the Cabinet involves a resignation we shall see Sherman Secretary for four years at Wut There is no frivolous Ulk of a rtcancy io but Department ,The city papers yesterday (Sunday) were divided in their ideas of what the last week day words of tho acting President meant, but the general opinion seems to be that a Southern breeze prevailed at tho Executive Mansion Saturday night. This week will be tho retirement of Chamberlain if not of Packard if the Administration can secure it. Then let Mr. IIycs look out for squalls from the North. Fortunate is it for him that his extra session of Congress does not meet un til June, if indeed, ho has decided to aot (nirly by South Carolina and Lou isiana. Dkm. A PRESIDENT WHO TALKS.

Hayes walked out into the cold gray tawn of a Washington morninsr. No ono was there to welcoino him not even a Republican Justiuo of tho Supreme (Jourt. A solitary tear stole loith unbidden and begun to make tho tran sit of Returning B. Hayes' check, und then, as if disheartened by the magni tude of the undertaking, retired again into his eyo, to bo wiuked away into nothingness. JNo one to welcome liunr Jbven whilo he wept and winked a dozen representatives of a down trodden race sprang into existence as if sud- lenly materialized Irom tho very gloom. They surrounded hurt, viod with uach other in Ins expressions ot affectionate esteem, and Btrugijled for the honor of his traveling bag, an eight by seven affair, containing a tooth-brush, a tract, aud a copy oi the collected speeches ot Andrew John son aud Ulysses & Grant, which tho forethought of tho prudent Mrs, Hayes had added to his Washington outfit. For the temporary possession of his traveling bag, and oi his um brella, tho representative!) ot an op pressed people contended. 'This is, indeod, kind of you, poor Alricans," siiid Mr. Hayes. 4,Allow mo to say in return that my heart has bled for you ever since the 8th ot No vernber. It bleeds, it bleeds 1 I wou'd say that in other respects I am enjoying excellent physicaF health, and if any of you wish to shake hands with me I shall be glad to do so." A poor African grasped his hand with eagerness. -"Right die way, sah I" he said cordially. "Right dis way to da mos' ristooralic ooaoh in do city. Druv Madising Wills, sah, week bofo' last, aud 'sprossed himsolf satisfied wid de chicle." "Ah 1" said Mr. Hayes sighing, "I had thought it was a disinterested tribute an' ovttion." No, sah, it's a dollar an' a half," re plied the poor African, an honest smile darkly illuminating his broad features, "an we expocks half a dollar in advance where a party talks so promiscus." "Drive to tho White Honso,", said Mr. Hayes sadly, as he pressed a half dollar shin plaster into the poor Af rican's palm. Gan. Grant was out ot bed early that morning, packing his household goods in sawdust with the corks in. "Snow him up," ho said, when Mr. Hayes' name was announced. "He doesn't need auy sliowin' nr," replied the ingenuous domoslio. "He's one of them as shows himself up." "I felt it a duty," Mr. Returning B. Haves said, as pushed his way past tho'servant and into tho room "I felt it duty to lose no. time iu paying my respects to tho greatest living General. Allow mo to add that 1 amenioying excellent physical health, and it you wish to shako bunds with me I snail be glad to do so." Grant hit down. Hayes You aro too kmdl This warm welcome I do not take so much as a tribute to mo personally a to the tr;ingo and peculiar manner iu which tho Presidential question has been settled, I will sit down Gen. Grant, with pleasure. Grant If it is all the amo to yon, I'll go on with my packing. Do you see that black bottle, tho third in the row on the book ee? Il'a lhr lat of the Parson Newman Scotch. You'd better lake an eye-opener, Hayes. Hayes An eye opener ! Ah, yes, I seo. In the language ot tho intempej ate, a drink. General Grant, I cannot ! Nothing stronger than toast water ever passes these lip. Grant Then take a cigar. Haves I cannot take a ciar.Oon eral Grant. Since the great cholera year of 1833 no tobacco ha polluted these lips.

Hayes Realizing my lack of special fitucsa lor the Presidency, but remem bering your noble words : "No man worthy of the' oflloo of President should refuse to hold it if counted in or placod thore by fraud" Grant Eh? Hayos Reraeiuboring, I say, those noble words of interest aud enoourago mont, uttered by you when things looked dark for mo, I resolved to come on hero two days before tho fourth; und obtain from you the fruits of your experience. Grant You want "poiuts ?" .Hayes Precisely, it we may om ploy tho phraseology of tho worldly. For that purpose I have come on alone and unheralded, like the good Liuoolu (whom I resemble in several impor tant particulars) at tho eminent risk of assassination on the way, and have been received here at Washington without pomp or display save by a few friendly and disinterested Afri- cans, who gather at tho depot to bid mo welcome. Whou I say at tho em inent risk of assassination I speak ad visedly. At Pittsburg, lust night, two dark-visagod ruffians entered my sleep ing car, and I overheard ono saying to tho other, "They say Hayos is on this train," and the othor replying, "D n tho thief 1" I had the prosenoo of mind to draw light together the curtains of my borl'i, lie pnrfoctly still, and hold my" breath. To this I probably owe my life. But that was not all. In the middlo of tho night ono of the two men who occupied the next compartment said to the other in a low but fortunately audible voice, "John, shall wo poison ?" and the other said, "Let us poison." Then I heard a gurgling sound, as if 8rmo deadly liquid were being poured from a vial. When the train stoppod at Baltimoro the porter brought me a cup of coffee, I took it, and. when his back was turned poured every drop in betweon tin mattresses. Thus tho conspirators woro foiled. Divine protoclion is grantod, I think, is ex tended over me ol lato, in all things. But, as I was remarking, I have oomo to talk Grant Yos ; so I seo. Hayes Come to talk of tho past, tho present, and the future. I wish, my friend, you would allow mo to sneak frankly and freely on the prin ciples of the Constitution, to unbosom myself to you as one Republican may unbosom himsolf to another. I sup pose in tho cold aud artificial atmos phere of Washington life, you have not ha J many who would come to you us a brother, as I como, and dis cuss those great problems which we all ought looonsidui whonro charged with the duties of tho Government under peculiar circumstances. Grant Not much sinuo Schuyler Colfax was caught stealing. Childs, however, occasionally talks about death. Do you know Childs ? Hayes I nave not the honor, but as I am at presont enjoying cxoellont health, I should belad to shako hands with him. I was just going to say, when you interrupted me, that whon I bring my family to Washington to take a prominent part in the Admin istration of national affairs (for which work sometimes, in moments of hu mility, I feel that I am not qualified), I trust that I may have tho assurance that your prayer for my success will not be wanting. May I, Gen. Grant, rest in the Grant Good gracious, man J I've got to pack. Ca'l again. Go and talk with Newmnn. Haves But, Gen. Grant, do not send mo away without imparting at least a small fragment of that valua ble experience which you must have acquired during an eight years' resi dence iu this mausion, where Grant It I II give you a point will vou promise to give mo a rest? Hayos I promise it on tho woni of a Christian gentleman l was aooui to say a Christian statesman who cannot tell a lie, arid who, notwith standing the apparently extraordinary circumstances which surround his ac cession to the Grant Well, then, listen.

I lere are my bot tle, there are my bull pups, my horses are safe in the stable, but reputation is nowlu re to be found. It is lost be yond recovery lost in a confusion of foolish words and still mo'ro foolish acts. Now, Returning B. Hayes, take warning Hayes But I havn't any reputa tion to loose. Grant True, I hadn't thought of that. Our cases are different. Hayes Before I leave allow me to say that I am in the enjoyment of ex cellent physical health, snd that it you wish to shake hand with me I shall be glad to do so.

Madison Wells' 1 apartments in the basement ot tho j Capitol Tlldrn1 "One miscalculation." A correspondent of the Atlanta ' (Georgia) Constitution, after an inter, viow with Colonel Peiton,' Tilden's nepbow, writes to that paper as fol- IUWB Colonel Pclton had never bad a doubt about Tilden's- election. He' says : "Two weeks before the election wo had victory organized and iuev ' itablo. We wero mistaken, in but one -point of calculation. In our Northern battle-ground, such as New York, Con-1 nectieut, Indiana and New Jersey, we had lists covering every voter in these states, and knew what the vote of every militia district would bo.' ' Tha conversion of a single vcter in a Con necticut township would bo promptly reported to our headquarters. We bad a curtain triumph ahead of us. We had miscalculated only on ono thing in tho North and West. That mis calculation would not havo been fatal, had not tho infamous and unexpected Returning Boards of tho South delib erately stolon the states from us." Tho "one miscalculation" that Co lonol Pellon alludes to so deliberate ly was this : One of the first men, if not the first man, who put Mr. .Til- den upon tho presidential ticket was ox-oonator Uwmn, ot California, the . famous Duke of Sonora. "Duke" Gwinu was hi:li in tho confidence of Mr. Tilden und his friends. He was rooognizod as the best manager of ante-bellum t'uuos. It wns he who said, with tho shako of his leonine head : Whon my ciiomios becomo trouble some I put thorn out of tho way, air ; 1 put them out ot the way." lie inadu it his especial point in tho campaign to answer for California and Oregon. Ho would brook no interference io the management of these stales. Ho brought them both to tho St. Louis Convention, solid for Tilden, and it was thought ho oouiu nundia liiem la the gonerul election. Ho was conse quently left ubsoluloly free in working the campaign of tho. Pacific Slopo. -Up to tho last moment lies woro, in tho most p3flitiveund enthusiastic way, that California aud Oregon would, come up all right. He took no atarn. at the visit of Senator Morion to those states, and calmed the tears of every. body else by his reassuring Western oaths. At last tho crash came. The Duko'a old tingors had stiffened with ago, aud ihe two states slipped through them. And thou tho old man's heart strings snapped. .The patched and doctored frame the frame ot a giaul strung upon the sinews of a child collupsod, became shapoloss and helpless. And the man who tor throe deoades i.ad carried half a continent in his pocket, toltered toward his grave a maunder ing wreck. Hi us was a campaign, made irresistiblo at every point, lost through the fatuity with which a cau cus of diplomats put their faith in an old man with a loud voice aud a gorged liver, aud in whom imbecility had taken the form of an illusive de lirium.

In making appointments the President has adopted tbe general rale that where an officer has served lour years in a satisfactory man ner, tbe character of bis official services will stand as a recommendation for reappoint ment unless there are well sustained objec tions of personal or moral character to tbe reappointment of the incumbent. Where however an officer serve for eight years, this period of servitude) will operate against reappointment, the President holding that eight yean is the maximum, provided an equally competent and meritorious man is ao applicant for the place. Tbe rule Is to be especially applied to the appointment of postmasters, whose itlarifs excwl $1,000 and who are commissioned by the Presidio! Tbe role will not be applied with tbe same rigor to postmasters whose s,ilarie are be low $1,000, and who are appointed under law by tbe I'ostinaiter General. As to these postmaster wbo are commissioned by the President, there are about 1.6(H) ho are re 'qoird to receive their appointments from i the President, and over 3S.000 who are ap I pointed by tbe Postmaster lieocral.
