cilitien afforded for the escape of priso
ners. The army of occupation will
come direct from Germany. It is an
arrangement said to be in conformity
with an understanding with tbe King

Civil Service Reform.
One portion of the Presidents mes
sage must commend itself to tbe judg
meet of every honest man wbo reads
it aod has the best good ot the country
at heart. We refer to that part which
insists npon the necessity of civil ser
vice reform, on which tbe President
has made some very proper and just
remarks. Our present system of civil
service is defective in the extreme. It
was an old maxim of Democracy that
" to the victors belong tbe spoils," and
in carrying out this pernicious practice
the whole country has become damor
alized and corrupted by the lust of
office seeking, and the offices of the
township, the city, tbe county, tbe
State and tbe United States, from the
humble position of Constable to ap
pointments as Cabinet Officers and
Foreign Ministers, are made prizes in
tbe political lottery and offered as re
wards for political services, not always
honorable, and sometimes tbe most
foul and dishonorable.
It is useless to pretend that this state
of thing! is confined to any particular
party or is tbe result of any especial
conrse of politics. Tbe principle (if
Ihe pernicious practice can be dignified
.by such a term) is to blame, and men
never have been nor will be so proof
against temptation as to remain pure
aod serve faithfully wben offices are
offered as bribes to secure aid for po
litical aspirants. Tbe error is in this
habit which prevails, of making office
holding dependent npon political ser
vice and not upon honesty and capaci
ty. Tbe whole system is wrong and
its effects will be most ruinous if al
lowed to continue, and Indeed it is dif
ficult to aay wbat combination may
not be formed on tbe strength of tb
bestowal of federal patronage, an
wbat results may net follow prejudi
cial and even ruinous to tbe interests
of the nation. . It is already corrupt
ing the ballot box, seducing tbe young
men from safer paths of industry, and
securing for tbem the ruin that so
often results from disappointment.
The remedy lies in makiog office
holding dependent on tbe mainte
nance of good moral character, and tbe
possession of tbe reqosite qualifica
tions ; and to make removal from office
ft consequence of some radical defect
and not to take place otherwise. Then
a man would accept office with tbe
certainty of retaining it on good be
havior, and the temptation to be dis
honest or nnfaithful would not sxist.
Then we could elect' the best men tb
tho higher positions, for the potent
levers with which evil workers elevate
themselves wonld be removed. As it
. is every tlerkship, every postoffice,
every subordinate in eery branch of
the Government service is liable to re
moval at tho word of his superior, and
these positions are too often filled by
the partisan follower! of auccesifnl
politician!.
Of conrse there are many offices that
require occasional changes. The civil
' service should be so conducted, bow
ever, tbat the great majority of em
ployees of tbe Government will bold
their petitions, neither on merely po
litical grounds nor as being the pets of
some high official. The result would
be tbat there would be fewer of that
low class of politicians who hope to
receive a share of the " spoils." There
would be wonderfully less of corruption
in politics, and we might live to see
the time when the voice ot tbe people
could be plainly beard, without a false
translation by partisan politicians and
spoils hunters.

Pobtland, Dec. 16, 1870.
Ed. Statesman : Just now people
are moving a little more brisk than
usual, from the fact that the weather
is becoming very wintry, and great
coats and furs are necessary to the
comfort aod warmth of pedestrians,
and others who aie exposed.
The N. P. T. Co's Steamship Cali
fornia waa taken acrosa the river this
morning early, to tbe new wharf,
where sbe is now receiving wheat from
the cars. Tbis looks like business and
.is tbe beginning ot a rapid and easy
transportation of tbe principle pro
duce of tbe interior to a markat,
somethiag Lever more needed then at
present, and tbat which will make, in
tbe upper valley, business lively and
money pleLty. And not'only in the
upper valley will the difference be felt
and tbe change marked ; tbe whole
State will feel the happy and prosper
ous effect of tbis means of coqveying
to a ready market their product.
Tbe Almatia arrived at tbis port
yesterday in tow of the tug boat Asto
ria. Sbe comes consigned to McCrak
en Merrill k Co., and brings an assort
ed cargo of about 600 tons. Tbeir re
turn cargo will probably be wheat,
lumber or flour.
Tbe bark Lyra, having completed
discharging her cargo of railroad iron
is now ready, and in a few days will

of Ben Holladay, with regard to tbe

000 in U. S. g.ld coin

pieiion. 1 ne Uerall, to our amaza-
mrnt favors tbis piopositioo, which is
certainly the only concession ever
made by tbat paper to any action of
bis, witb regard to railroad matters,
and even now it doe io under protest,
stating mat, oavmg lu view, tbe in
terest of Portland and tbe West Side
counties more tbau tbe thriving and
exorbitant demand of tbe "soulless
monopolist," it is constrained to tavor
a move, which, under any other cir
cumstance it would be forced to regard
as ruinous to the best interests of the
State and which would have as its
object self aggrandizement without
benefiting ia the slightest our people
We bope that the citizens of Portland
will at least show as much sense as the
Herald, aod go for that which will
build np tbe West Side counties and
Portland in particular, and tbe whole
State in general. : W.

Archbishop Blanchet at Borne.
The following is a portion of an
article in tbe Herald written after an
interview with Rt. Rev. Archbishop
Blanchet, just returned from Rome :
In referring to the gathering of the
Council, he alluded in eloquent terns
to the grand aod imposing scene pre
sented at St. Peter's during tbe session
of the learned Biohops gathered there
Irom all p-.rts of the world to do hon
or to tbe Vicar of Christ on earth.
We referred to tbe assertions made
in some newspapers, tbat several
American Bishops objected to pro
claiming the dogma of infallibility.
Ilis Grace said tbere was but one
American Bishop that opposed it. Bish
op Fitzpatrick, of Little Rock, Arkan
sas, and wben tbe dogma was pro
claimed, he bowed at tbe feet ot tbe
Uof Father and implored his forgiven
ness, wbicb was feelingly granted.
An Italian Bishop also offered bis ob
jections, and finally in tears sought
forgivenness also, which was granted
and witb it a blessing.
Out of tbe five hundred aod fifty
five representatives at tbe Ecumenical
Council on tbe day of tbe declaration
"of infallibility, the two mentioned
wTft tbe only dissenting voices. The
Archbishop was in Rome the day of
it capture by the Italian troops. He
was in one of tbe palaces of tbe
Canons, separated from St Peters onlj
by tbe sacristy. From bis situation
he could see tbe batteries of tbe Papal
Zouaves which were the only opposi
tion offered to Victor Emmanuel's co
sorts at work at tbe Poita Pia and
Porta di Sun Giovani.
At half-past ten o'clock io tbe morn
ing bis servant informed him cf tbe
raising of tbe white flag, the Pope
having sent word to General Ksoz'.er
to prevent any further effusion of
blood. After the capitulation the
Italian troops were followed inl'i tbe
city by ten or twelve thousand of tbe
most vicious aod depraved elsssei of
Italy, who came for the purposes of
destruction and pillage, which they
commenced immediately on finding
themselves within the walls. Three
priests were stabbed in tbe streets by
these ruffians, who even attempted to
force an entrance it to tbe Vatican.
By the terms of the capitulation, the
Holy Father was to have the Leociue
City, in which U situated Castle
Angelo, rendered apart for himself,
but even this was violated by General
Cardona, who sent bis troaps to guard
tbe Palace, under tbe pretence tbat
tbey were necessary for tbe protection
of the city; And Italian good laith
was further shown by searching all
perons wbo sought an interview at
tbe Vatican. His Grace says the Holy
Father is virtually a prisoner, despite
tbe assertions of tbe newspapers, as be
bas only a small garden in which be
walks for eiercise, not daring to sbow
himself in tbe streets, owing to the
number of brigands wbo would wil
lingly take bis life.
Io referring to tbe desire of tbe peo
ple of Romn for a change of govern
ment. Hia Grace said it was only the
lower classes who manifested a desire
to be attached Florence Government
a class tbat are always discontented.
Tbe better claeses were all loyal to the
Holy Father. Tbe plebiscite, on the
2d of October, was tbe grossest fraud,
for ont ot 80,000 votes cast, only teo
were Roman, the remainder being tbe
tbe ballots of the army aad Us brigand
camp followers. Five days after tbe
capitulation, the Archbishop called at
th Vatician to offer hia sympathy to
the Holy Father.
A sharp student was called np by
the worthy Professor of a celebrated
college, and aeked tbe question, ' Can
a man fsee without eyesT" "Yes,
sir," was tbe prompt reply. 11 Horn,
sir," cried the astonished profesor,
" can a man see without eyes 7'' Pray,
sir, bow do yon make tbat out?"
' He can see with one, sir." replied
tbe ready-witted youth ; aad the whole
class shouted with delight at the tri
umph over metaphysics.
