Tim civil Service Dill. The last
1a. bitnoi tSmritr expresses our views on tho
civil setvico bill before Congress, so nonrly
Hint we transfer it to our columns. TJie
( Wrier says : ' . .. .. .
"The Civil Service competition luinibug
is falliag from the weight of Us own Tast
dovtflopiug imperfections nnd impraclicn
!b!tmc. Anil yet ifit was fully understood
fyy le people it would be kicked from no
rice, A sot of aristncrnticnlly-disposcd
gentlemen of 'high standing,' who have no
sympathy with tho people, have imitated
Ihe policy of monarchical governments in
this effort to fasten an oflleo-holding aris
tocracy on the country, and to shut tho
door of official preferment in the. faces of
men of valuable practical knowledge, but
who may not liavo been able to graduate
willi tho classic "sheep skin." Tho move;
inent is objected to because it is unconsti
tutional, but the objection can be made
even stronger than that it is nl war with
the genius of our free and equal Institutions.
It proposes to give the whole appointing
power into tho hands of an irresponsible
cnmniitteo with as little comprehension of
the true spirit of our government as have
the men advocating its adoption. Thus
would all the Immense official patronage of
our government full into the hands of a
little coterie of self-esteemed respectables,
w ho would confine appointments to their
own :la.s and establish a succession of he
reditary office-holders. The President elec
ted by tlie people, the Representatives of
the people, the people themselves, would
' have nothing to say as to the men who
should be nppoiulcd to office that itnpor
. taut privilege resting in the hands of such
men as G. W. Cut lis, who know about ns
much in regard to the actual business, prac
tical, thorough-going men of the couutry,
as a magpie docs of conies. It is idle to
think that this so-called proposed reform
cm be established in this country. It is
not the disposition of our people to volun
tarily surrender privilege nud power into
tho hands of irresponsible committees, and
' to acknowledge their unfitness both to
serve iu office aud to select their servants.
lf tolf-gnvcrarocat is failure, and the
people --aw not to be trusted with power,
l.-t Mr. Curtis and his friends say so. But
if the people are competent to select Presi
dents, Senators, Congressmen, Judges, &c.t
it strikes us that it is some what inconsistent
to declare that their influence iu the choice
of post masters, clerks, &c., is evil and not
to be tolerateo. 'ri,i8 question involves a
great principle which cannot De tuuiujonJ
to enable Mr. Curtis aud bis friends to con
trol tho appointments of the government."
The Repubftean - press throughout the
vountry should follow tho examplo of the
Courier, and express their disapprobation
of the board of "played out schoolmasters,"
who nro st tire diead of this civil service
humbug. 'The; President cannot be blamed
flbr mrryiog-out this law passed by Cou-
gressj' for hi -is but skawiug that to "repeal
- au obnoxious lawk to carry it intocfTect,"

Sociables nnd Receptions are given week

add greatly to the gaieties aud festivities of
the fasl.ionablo season. 1 copy an amusing
account, from ncorrespondcr.tofthe"Laii-
muttr iiw;aiVrr," of the last sociable given
by our State Association, and his idea of
round dittoes will be refreshing to your
many readers. - This correspondent is a
very clever gentleman, was al one time a
coal operator in Northumberland county,
and is well and favorably known by many
of the citizens of Suubury and Shamukin.
Ho was lxahd by one of his partners, but
is still alive and kicking.
"The second sociable' of the Pennsyl
vania Republican Association was hold on
Monday evening last, and a most enjoyable
affair it was. 'Fair women and brave
men' of the old Kevstone crowded the
spacious hall of the Masonic Templo, to the
number ot at least eigne nunurcu, ana tne
'mazes of the giddy dance' were indulged
in vigorously. Your correspondent was
prevailed on by some friends to attend,
though the 'sear aud yellow leaf has ta
ken away from him the keen enioymcnt he
onco experienced amidst such scenes. He
was a looker-on ror an hour, However, ami
if he possessed tho fine Imagination of somo
of the Jenk inse who write up such things,
he might furnish a racy description for the
amusement of your readers. He met several
Ijvncaster county menus there, lauics ana
gentlemen, and in their society managed to
get ntong pretty eomiortaoiy. w nat was
particularly gratifying lo him wns tiie ab
sence of the extensive array of dry goods

wire arms were raoooea. lutieea, it is satu
that a rule of 'Washington Society' now
is, that young ladies shall not be permit
ted to dress in low necks and short sleeves;
It is only allowablo in ladies of forty and
over. Probably the ladies can give the
reason for this regulation ; I can't. Or,

IxJNDOS, Jan. 20 P. M.
M. Thiers, in necordauco with previous
intiniations, sent to the Assembly to-day
his formal refeignatiou as President of the
republic.
It was accompanied with tho announce
ment that all the Ministers also tendered
their resignations.
Great excitement prevailed in the Cham
ber ou the reading of the communications.
A vote was adopted almost uuauimously,
only six members dissenting, nppealing to
the patriotism of the l'roautoni, refusing
to accept his resignation and passing to
the consideration of the order of the day. .
A deputation was appointed to announce
to M. Thiers the action of the Assembly.
A deputy subsequently moved that a
committee of the Assembly be appointed to
endeavor to effect a compromise with the
executive, and in case of failure to consider
and report to the Assembly forthwith
what measures should be taken under the
circumstances.
All the parliamentary clubs are sending
deputations to M. Thiers to dissuade him
from his purpose.
The deputies of tho right centre held ft
meeting during the afternoon and ndopted
a resolution ilucluriiiL' that the tariff was
aolelv n nuustiou of liuance. not of politics.
and that "in voting against the proposal to
tax raw materials they had no intention
of expressing want of confidence in the
government,"
THE LATKST NEWS.
Veusaii.i.es, Jan. 20 Midnight.
The deputation appointed by tho Assem
bly waited ou President Thiers this cven-
1 igi nu iniormeti mm oi mo vote oy which
the Chamber had refused to accept his re-
i signation
M. Thiers, in response, consented "to,
remain iu tlio service of the Chamber aud .
the country." j
It is probable that the present Ministry !
will remain in olllcc. j
Pauis, Jan. 21.
M. Thiers yesterday, iu reply to the :
deputation of '.lie Assembly which called .
upon him to notifv him of the refusal of
I that body to accept his resignation, said
I he wns worn out and discouraged, lie
could not change his opinions and he bo-
lieved that conllicts similar to tlie present
one were likely to occur betweeu the legis -
' latum aim executive ueparinieuia oi ine
i government whenever military or educa-
I tional bills were before tlio Assembly.
I Thiers further said, that while for tlie pre-
sent he consented to withdraw his rcsigna-
lion, tlio enu was ineviuioie, anu sooner or
later he would be compelled to retire from
the presidency.
Marshal MacMahon also called upon
Thiers yesterday, and appealed to him on
behalf of the army to withdraw his resig
nation. The Marshal said the army
would obey the orders of tho Assembly,
but would not bo controlled by a dictator
ship, which was likely to follow the uncon
stitutional retirement of President Thiers.

proval of the constant particitiatiou of the !
President iu the discussion of that lcgisla- j
live body. This complaint has been earn
iuvu wr buiuu iiuiu mai. ciiiuuwu uin.n-
estly discussed in the Ministry, which has
now decided to make a proportion to tho
Assembly, that Thiera sViall address it only
upon important occasions, lor wnicn pur-

Great scarcity of lumber, tho coming

A City Disappkauf.d. The Buenos
Ayres Stanlarl of 30th November gives
further intelligence than that reported ' by
telegraph of the late disastrous earthquake
at Salla. On the 22d of October, at eVeron
o'clock p. m., when most of tho inhabi
tants of the doomed town of Oran had re
tired to their houses the first shock wns
felt. The greatest terror at once prevailed,
nnd the cop!c rushed madly into the
streets ; few had gone to bed, ns for hours
before a dull, rumbling noise had been
heard in the distance, and all feared that
it portended some unusual catastrophe.
The shocks continued at intervals for near
ly nino hours, during which time forty dis
tinct movements oi tnc carttt were tell.
The pavement of the streets was split
open now here, now there aud the lions- ,
cs fell in confused heaps of ruins. There is ,
only one death to record, that of Sr. Iteyes, '
ami some contitnions to other persons.
Most of the inhabitants rushed out to the j
camp after the first shock, and so saved .
their lives, but tho town of Oran may bo j
considered ns totally destroyed.
AVk observe by the lliiladelphi.a Istnl j
Intelliijrnctr,nf last week, that the Supreme
Court has afiirmed tho judgment of the
court below in tho case of Flowers and
wife, r.i. Pennsylvania railroad company.
The? case was taken up from lbanon
county. Young Flowers was killed at a
station on tnc raurona in iineastcr county,
while in the net of assisting the engineer of
a locomotive in putting wnter into tho
tender, al tho request of the engineer.
The court held that tlie railroad company
owed no duty of protection to the boy, nnd
thnt there could be no discovejiy. The
case was argued in the Supreme Court by
Col. Iliekey and Maj. Iteina-hl, of Ijincns
ter, for tho plaintiff; and by Messrs. I..
W. II a II, North nnd Krcuuamnn for the
railroad company. This is an important
case, and establishes a principal of great
value to railroad comimuies. Parents of
boys owe such protection as to keep them ,
ott railways.
The firming AVtr says the grand ju
ry of the Court of General Sessions found
an imjiensc number of indictments. It is
supposed hundreds of men will be in the
lists. They found that large quantities of
mmw.v homi t.lnor.l in hniib. nt tin,..

to the credit of one of tlie "Hiug-' men. It
, has also been proved that in oue day over
six millions were stolen from the city treas-
ury. lo-morrow the grand jury win pro
