Tlio civil scnirc of tbe country, in Its present
condition, If notoriously bud. It Is costly, In
Cflieioiit, wiwtcful, corrupt. Under every adniln
ldtraiion tt is esscntinlly the same. It ha 6a
gnuerated from n honest orpaimatiou for the
jicrloiniance of tho subordinate duties of the
Government Into a contrivance for elielterln
and fostering the camp-followers of the party
3n power. It bus brought to perfection the art
"how not to do it," and pives to unscrupulous
pnrt'teanshlp every possible facility for aecom
Unburn unwortby ends. It drives the deaervlnr
from the public service, and offers unlimited
eucourapcinent to the scamps and blockheads
V bom tbe professional politician Duds It con-
eni( ut to use.

llioe lie cmi loyj, and makes the coininuuuoo
of tbe tnsatfeiiient contingent upon tho etli-ci'-ney
ami trustworthiness of tbe individual
and tiie requirement! ot bis ou busiue-ia. Per
Hiaiiencc and promotion are tound esontlal to
tbc .cqnlition and retention of eood men, who
in turn are siiimilited by opportunities and
nssurauceo of advancement to devote them
selves nf-Uluously to their employers' interest.
In the Government service all these conditions
sie disregarded. Its nrruy of clerks is enlisted
from classes whose prime qualification is their
ability to hPcure the influence of politicians,
tare is seldom taken In their selection in tbe
nlv t-euso that renders it meritorious.
They are not required to prove themselves
morally respectable or in any icspect quahtiei
to inscuarpe tbe duties of the situation to he
lilled. It is enough that tiiey are useful adhe
rents or helples prott gs of a member of Con
gress, or the fneud ot a member, or of tbe Presi
dent or tbe head of a department, or their
friends respectively. Provided tbe approving
emilo ot tbe dinprnser of patronage be obtained,
the ability, the ind istry. or tbe integrity of the
person to be appointed is of trifling moment.
Appointments thus acquired are held by a
teiiure a preeartous as it is iipnieralizini;. They
are subject to tbe vloisitudes and degradation
of partisanship. Tuey are exposed to forced
levies for party purposes. Aud they are con
Btantly liablo to dismi sul, with or without
cause, as tbe caprice or the convenience of par
tisan managers miy dictate.
A service thus organized and controlled neither
Commands tbe ie?pect ol the community nor
Josteis respect among Its own members. De
graded ry rartisaufb'p, it lacks the first ele
ments of efficiency mid the first motives tore
form. Intelligent, energetic, self-reliant per
sona seek other roads to lortune; they have no
relish for positions that afford no guarantee of
perm an en co or promotion; and the field is in
the main lelt to the undisturbed possession of
the listless, the improvident, and the noisy
lianpers-on of party. Evil influences dominate
and conupt tbe good. The number of ap
pointees exceeds tbe requirements of the ser
viee: the -work la after all inefficiently per
iormed; and nn amount of dishonesty obtains
which the country has not yet learned to
realize.
How dishonest the pystem is or rather, how
much dishonet-ty tho system permits with im
punity the recent investigations of Congres
eionai Committees in part attest. Without de
scending to particulars, it is known that
enormous frauds have been perpetrated by or
villi toe connivance of hubordinate officers of
the Government; and though dismissal has fol
lowed detection, the frr.uds have gone on, modi
fled Id accordance with experience, perhaps, by
thoi-e who came alter the original oneniers.
One set of knaves has been succeeded by
another, each apparently acting on the rule that
lie should take caie ot him sen auriner the un
certain tenure of a Government qjtice. More
ctlective supervision might, indeed, hold even
knaves in check, but tbe real remedy for civil ser-
vice dishonesty lies in the reform of the service
itself, Dy the introduction ot competent ana
Trustworthy men.
Tbe evils of the system do not end here. The
liifiber ollieers ot the Government sull'er, and
nie not seiaom corrupted under its influence.
The vast appointing power viitually centres in
tbe 1'iesident, who is tempted tD use it wiih
reference to political exigencies more than to
the actual reouirt mcnts of the service. PubHc
interests are prejudiced by the attention wbich
tbe President and the beaus ot the Departments
devote to a subject which, to them, derives all
its importance irom partisan considerations.
Great interests are neglected, th it the claims of
a crowd of applicants lor minor offices may be
balanced and decided. The power of the Execu
tive is in this manner enlarged to a degree not
contemplated in the-originul adjustment of the
functions of the Government; and it is a power
exercised tor purposes with which tbe welfare
Of the country has uo connection.
The whole system requires reform. It needs
relorui with a view of restraining tbe overgrown
power ot the Executive. It needs reform wich a
view to the efficiency of a service which has ns
6umed colossal proportions. And it need re
tfoim as a measure of retrenchment, called for
ly tbe wants of the Treasury aud tho crushing
taxation borne by the people. For the civil
service, reconstructed on the basis of intelli
gence and wonh, would a I wit ol a large reduc
tion in the number employed, would perform
its functions with an efficiency now unkuow.i,
and would obviate the loses by dishonesty from
which tbe country now sailers. The Joint Com
mit lee of Congress on ltetreuchment estimate
that by this process "the number of officers may
be diminished one-third "and the efficiency of
tbe whole force of tbe civil service increased
One-halt, with u corresponding reduction of
salaries for discontinued offices, if a healt'iy
system of appointment an 1 discipline be esta
blished" for tbe government of the interior offi
cers of the country.
Tbe subject is before Coneress in a shape
that admits of early action. The speech which
Mr. Jenckes on Tuesday addressed to the House,
explanatory of the bill to regulate the civil
service, covers the ground to be traversed In
the discussion of the reform he desires to pro
mote. His exposition of the weakness of tbe
present system, and the mischief of which it
is the fruitful source, is calm and conclusive.
It U Impossible, we think, to follow him in his
Statement ot facts and his explanation of causes
Without conceding the fairness of his repre
sentations aud the necessity of amendment.
But whai shall the amendment be f How shall
tbe corruptions incident to a colossal and irre
sponsible system of patronage be removed, and
their recurrence prevented If By what method
shall the civil service be made available for
worth and capacity, as against the debasing
influences which now control the maus of ap
pointments? The bill reported by the Joint Committee on
Jletreuthmeut, and of which Mr. Jenckes has
charge, supplies a feasible answer. It applies
to the whole body ot inferior officers of tho Gov
ernment those appointed by the President by
courts of law, or heads of departments without
waiting for the concurrent sanction of the
Senate- And it Is designed to accomplish the
end in view by Introducing the system of ex
aminations, as a means of determining the rela
tive ability and the fitness of character ot those
who seek employment under the Government.
If this theory be acted upon, the departments
will no longer be hospitals for tbe tools and de
pendants of party. Appointments will be regu
lated by something more than the ciprice or
the interest of partisans clothed with a little
Jtrief authority. The eervioe will be thrown
open to all comers, with an aunuici that the
most capable and tie most worthy will be
selected; tbe principle ot the measure being
concentrated In the maxim laid down by Mr.
Jenckes: "Iet the best attainable talent, the
greatest nt'Hlnnble fitness, in every case b
placed In office."
The machinery f be employed Is simple and
unobjectionable. It will consist of a cntral
Hoard of Kxaminer". empowered to determine
the minimum standard ot qualification for every I
subordinate gia ie of the civil rervlce, and with j
authority to conduct examinations in various
parts of the country, as may from time to time :
bo found necessary. The Board will consist of
three (.'o'uniistdoners, to be appointed by the
President with the consent ot tho Senate; they
are to settle the questions to be a-ked of appli
cunts and the scrutiny to be instituted touching
characters and they may call to their asslsiance
emii'cnt civilians and officers in all brunches of
the service of the Government. They will have
no political power or authority. Tbev will I
merely select the class from whom tbe heads of
Dcpaitments shall derive their subordinates; o '
securing competency and character as the quali
fications lor employment under the Government.
The bill further promotes efficiency and siimu-
laies am Dillon rty securing advancement to
those who shall have proved themselves meri
torious. The cost of the Board and It? opera
tions, it is calculated, will be met bv the fees to
be paid by applicants for ex'tminatiou.
neither tho principle nor the machinery ot
the measure, is open to the objection that it is
experimental. Prussia and Prance bear testi
mony to its efficacy; and the partial adoption
of the 8V6 torn in Kiurlaud has been attended
wilb success. Mr. Jenckes wisely objects to any
compiomise with evil here. The system now in
operation is wholly and flagrantly wrong, and
no urces tiio application oi tne most thorough ,
remedy. I
Although bearing directly tip-in partisanship, 1
and nlming at the curtailment ot its power for
Mischief, the measure is in no degree partisan 1
iu its origin or in the rendering wbich it re
ceives from Mr. Jenckes. Its iuception dates
back to tbe administration of Mr. Lincoln, and
the fact that it has passed the scrutiny ol two
select Committees, would seem to be proof of
the wisdom and sufficiency or its details. The
present relations of parties in Congress, and '
tho interest which is tcit in tbe exercise
of patronage by the Executive, should secure i
for tbe bill a decree of atteutiou befitting its
Importance.
The Myaterlca of Murder.
From the lYiuunt.
There is an old proverb that "murder will
out," and so no doubt it will if the requisite
skill and diligence be used in tracing it. But
certain late occurrences have reminded us that
cither our detective system is a very loose one,
or criminals iu tbe United States have a won
derful knack of baffling discovery, and avoid
ing the fate which in other lands is pretty sure
to follow the evil doer. It would be a strangely
suggestive work it one were to search through
the police returns of the last ten years, and
make a catalogue of the murders whose porpe.
trators have never been discovered. How many
as-snssins, we wonder, are now walking about,
unsuspected, in tbis city alone? How many
persons have been quietly put out of the world
by the thrubt ol a knife, or a stealthy blow,
and have tound no avenger, aud lelt no record
ot their fate except the br.ef chronicle of a
"mytteiious disappearance V" How niauy of
the daily cases ol "found dioivued" have a dark
deed of violence behind them, which the law
never sees, and none but Ood ever punishes?
Look at the celebrated Burdell murder iu this
city. It seems almost incredible that tbe cir
cunistani.d of that crime should never be dis
covoted; but to this duy we know not whose
hand struck that guilty blow, and probably we
never shall know. Ten or eleven jears ago, in
a little village ol Litchticldcoaniy, Connecticut,
a gambler named Foot was found dead, with his
skull crushed, in tbe bore-shed attached to a
church. The circumstances of the case were
such that a detective ot moderate acuteucss j
could .hardly have failed to get. at the bottom of '
it; yet it still remains a mystery, though one
mau was tried three times tor tbe murder, and .
was finally i pleased. About two yeais Kgo, por
tions of a human body were waahed ashore at
various points on the Brooklyn side of the 1
East river. The remains were never identified, i
and it never was known where they came
from. Many supposed that they had been
thrown out from some dissecting-room;
but when the head was washed ashore, a
bullet-bole was found in the skull. Ia June,
18(5, two little children, bi other aud sister,
named Joyce, were murdered while gathering
wild-flowers in tbe woons at Roxbnry, Massa
chusetts. The perpetrator of the hendish out
rage never has been discovered; but a lew
weeks aero the skeleton of a man was found
near the scene of the crime, and was popularly
supposed we kuow not on what grounds to
be i bat, of the criminal. A year aud a halt ago
an Italian named Hiodatl was shoe near the out
skirts ot Brooklyn. It is supposed that he was
assassinated by a gang of counterfeiters because
be knew too many of their secrets, but no
proof was ever obtained, and tbe murderers still
:0 unwhi'ped ot justice. Many of our readers,
no doubt, remember the painful sensatiou
which was created not very long when young
Mr. Embury, of New York, was murdered at
Fishkill. His body was lound by the wayside,
with a bayonet-woiiud iu the buck. He had no
enemies, so far as known; he was a gentleman
of singularly b ank aud upright chaiacter; aud
he was nut killed lor purposes of robbery, since
his wutch and mouev were found upon his per
son. To this day his fate remains a myery.
A very remarkable murder was committed at
a bouse in Magazine street, New Orleans, on
the nitrht of December 14-15, 18GG, and, except
on the principle that public excitements nre
governed a good deal by the public caprice, it
is not easy to understand why it h is not created
as great a stir as the memorable Burdell case.
Tbe occupants of tho house in question were a
Mr. and Mrs. McLin, aud a girl of sixteen
named Doiah lleuuerichs, who lived with theai
as a friend and companion. She was a young
woman of excellent character, plain in her up
peurauce, retiring in her habits, and a great
lavorite with the McLins, who purposed adopt
ing her. She had, as far as any one knew, no
enemies, and what is perhaps not less import
antno lovers. On the night of the Htb the
family sat up late with some guests. Dora went
to bed just betore 12 o'clock; Mrs. McLin, being
sick, retired earlier; Mr. McLin sat up until 1.
His room was separated from Bora's only by a
very thin partition. He heard no disturbance
either before or after retiriug. In the morning
Dora did not aopear at tbe usual hour, and bor
room, after some delay, was broken open. She
was discovered lyim,' iu a coiner, with a fearful
wound iu the back of the head, apparently
made with a blunt instrument. A smoothing
iron with blood on it was found in the room.
There w as blood on the pillow, us If the girl bad
been struck while in bed, and, strange to say, a
feather bed had been removed from the bed
stead aud dragged to the corner where Dora
was lying. Otherwiso there were no marks
of disorder; there were no indications of a
struggle, and apparently no attempt had been
made upon the girl's person. She wa9 still
breitihiug but unconscious, bbo died in the
course ot an hour or two.
It is equally difficult to conjecture tbe motive
and tbe perpetrator of this deed. A few articles
of undeidothing were mlssiug. but they wore
of too trifling a value to have tempted any one
to murder, even admitting that they were stolen;
aud, besides, therejwere other things in the room
which a burglar would have been much more
likely to take. The traces left by the murderer
seem to complicate the mystery. These traces
were a handkerchief, marked with certain unre
cognized initials, and footprints stained in red
brick-dust. The prints were found on the
window-sill, and on the fence separating
McLin's yard from that of his next neighbor,
Mr. Weil, and they were tracked BGfain In Weil's
yard, where wet brick-dust had been used in
cleaning the .pavement. Tbe foot-marks were
evidently those of a woman; but it is not eajy
to imagine how a woman could, without assist
ance, have climbed the feuce, which was quite
high, and offeted no rest for the foot within 8ve
feet of the ground. A robbery of a few small
articles had been committed in Mr. Weil's
louse about 9 o'clock tho previous evening; but
that, it will be remembered, was three hours
betore Dora went to her room, and in any case
there ere serious difficulties In tho way of con
net ting the two crimes. There seems to be no
rea-on for suspecting any of tho inmates of
either bouse, Dora being on excellent terms
with them all. The police, to all appearances,
ate utterly at fnult; aud tho Coroner's inquest
as is apt to be the way with inquests has left
tbe ca-e as mysterious as ever.
The excitement over the New Orleans murder
has lfnt jet subsided when tho telegraph brings
us intelligence of another case very similar to
that ofDora Henncrlchs. On the 11th instant
a gill ot 18, named Chiisline Kett, was mur
dered in broad day, in her own house, at Day
ton, Oh o, and no clue has yet been found to
tbe asa?sin.
In the city of New York alot.e there were,
during the year 18G, no fewer than 71 homi
cides and murders, without including numerous
cases of death by drowning or other means,
which we know not whether to classify as mur
ders, suicides, or casualties. Only 33 persons
were arrested for these crimes, and the records
of the courts show only lr convictions (several
ot which were for ollenses committed in a pre
vious year), with 1! prisouers still to be tried.
That is to say, of the perpetrators of clour and
unmistakable homicides more than 60 per cent,
ate not anested, and nearly 80 per cent, are
not punished.
Now, the suggestive thing about this matter
is, that It can hardly be accounted tor in any
other way than on the supposition of a very im
perfect system lor the detection of crime. Our
police are sharp enough in tracing out great
robberies. A bank is rarely broken open or a
sale rifled but the thieves are caught, sooner or
later, provided they have secured a heavy booty.
Human patience, persistence, and ingenuity are
seldom better illustrated than when one of our
best detectives, with a full purse in his pocket,
aiid paidou us, gentlemen of the force, for say
ing it, for jou are only mortal men after all a
pood bouncing reward iu prospect, gets on the
trail of a heavy burglary, or a ereat embezzle
ment, or any such crime of which the object
w as mouey instead of life. You may say that
burglars rarely operate nlonr, and the chalices of
detection are multiplied, of course, tn exact
proportion to the number ol the confederates.
There is something in this; -but It will not
account entirely tor tie comparative Impunity
of murderers a" contrasted with other cla-ses
of criminals. We are not fiuding fault wiih
our detective individually; we only say that
there is something wronc in the system under
which they work. We believe that in the majo
rity ol cases they are unable to follow up a
murder to the end because they are not fur
nished viiiii the nece.-sary mcney, and certtrmly
in some ( uses tbev fail because they have not
tbe requisite iudiiccmeuts to persevere. The
nialter deserves oiirelul consideration. Indi
viduals may be lelt to take care of thir own
money; the Government is bound to take care
ol men's lives; und the incentives to thf de
tection aiid puiJii-hnieut of the graver offenses
ought ceitmniy to oe no luss strong than those
to tbe pursuit of less d'inaerous criminals.

I'rom the Heratd.
Whitney's cotton gin was the Trojan hor.-c to
Southern slavery. It made the cotton iegion,
from the Yadkin to the Red river, a vast gold
mine, negro slave labor therein au immensely
profitably cash article, aud thus, uuder this
labor system started upon Virginia tobacco,
cotton became king, and the cotton planters tlie
ruling aristocracy of the Uul'.ed States. Thus,
adopting Jetrcisen's radical French theories of
government, including Sta'.e rights, the ruling
slavery and cotton politicians of the South ap
plied those theories to our party politics,
brought them into the Government, including
the Supreme Court, and administered them as
the Cous.thution, down to the startling Dred
Siott decision, when their power culminated.
Then came the Northern reaction, pushing the
cotton lords ot South Carolina and their fol
lowers to the bold experiment of secession and
a Southern Confederacy; ti.en the war tor the
Union, resulting in the subjugation of that con
federacy, the dethronement ot King Cotton, and
the extinctior of slavery aud all its political
appendages. Thus the destiuctive heresies of
Jeilerson, Calhoun, and their disciples, washed
out in the biood ot half a million ot men, are
superseded by tlie Constitution as interpreted
by Washington, Hamilton, aud Jay, and thus
tbe grand idea of Henry Clay is established
that the States are not above but under tbe
paramount national sovereignty of the United
I Slates.
Prom this bold headland of observation, what
j is the spectacle which now meets the eve? It
I is the conflict of the battle-field brought b ick
I iuio the torum. It is an appeal from New
OrliaiiS, Vicksburg, Gettysburg, Petersburg,
and Appomattox Court House to tlie vetDes
and policj of President Johnson. It involves an
eflori to make the war a luilure and to re-establish
Iving Cotton, Calhoun's State riirhts, and
slavery. Mr. Johnson lias gone buck to DJtiO
and to lUcckiuiidge. He is nghtiun again on
that line. He is like the man who attempted a
loyal history ot trance by leaving out the revo
. lution of libli, the lepublic, Napoleon, aud the
empire, us nol allecting tho divine riirhts of the
i Bourbons. With the Supreme Court to back
him, he only asks the two years remaining ot his
! term to establish his policy. Indulge him iu
this experiment and it is not Impossible that
1 befoie lbt.iive may have the war lor the Union
i pronounced unconstitutional, the abolition of
. slavery declared null aud void, our national
debt decreed an illegal burden upon the people,
aud State rihts aud the Constitution renewed
again according to Buchanan,
i This is the issue with the Republican party in
j Congress. From the incendiary torch applied
, by old Juhu Brown we have had such a con
; iluaration as the world elsewhere has never
, seen; but we may have another il we attempt to
reouuu on tlie still smoulderlnir embers of
King Cotton und slavery. The impeuchmuit
and removal ol Andrew Johnson, or a surrender
Ol
me legislative powers ot the Government
into nis inuiits by his continuance in oflice, i
the alternative presented to Congress. Accord
ing to the recent test vote on Ashley's initiative
resolution, of one hundred aud eight to thirty
eight, the dominant party in the Houe stunds
as a unit tor this impeachment. A similar reso
lution in 18411 from liotfs aeaiust President
Ijlcr failed because the Whigs of that day bud
not the strength in either House for an Impeach
ment, nor a case upon which to secure even
their own vote.
But tbe ( barges submitted against John Tyler
w-e Petty misdemeanors compare 1 with the
schedule of Andrew Johnson's assumptions of
the exclusive powers of Congress. Mr. Seward
has aked it we will have Mr. Johnson as Presi
dent or King. But in either capacity he has
ceased I to be necessary, aud has become a stum
bling blot k In the way of any wholesome recon
struction. He might still eav himot und
would piobably abandon his public position but
for the dream of probable divisions on this im
peachment opening a way of escape. All such
hopes are delusive, aud the ltepublican jour
nals which are leading him to such expecta
tions are either deluded themstdves or are
playing with his credulity as a cat pfays with a
mouse. J
The interval to the 4th of March is getting
short, and yet within this interval tho Issue of
impeachment or no impeachment may be de
cided by Mr. Johnson. fle has only to hold fast
to his theory that the national legislative power
over the States belongs to himself, and not to
Congrets, in order to make sure his impeach
ment and removal. On the fti.r i,ui i, m.
posing to Congress the compromise of the' pend
. lug amendment, or by gracefully rescuing his

of the reputation of au honest man.
We can tell him that his removal will
be hailed as a Uodbend to the country.

King James the Second, with more advantages
and with greater strencth Ixdiind him than Mr.

in attempting to make his will the law or the

And this whs nearly two hundred years aeo.

From the World.
We recommend to the benevolent attention of
the philanthropists of New England the case of
the "Kevcrend" Joel Lindsley, of this State,
who has just been tried and convicted of man
slaughter for having whipped to death with a
sblnglc his own tender child, au infant of lour
years of age, who failed to pray to his Heavenly
Father as fast and as fervently as his earthly
father desired that ho should do. The late
Archbishop Wbately used to maintain thai the
duly of spiritual persecution was instilled into
the British mind lrom its earliest years by the
obi nursery song:
"There I found an old man
Who wouldn't say tils prayers,
lake Inm by the (treat too
And King him down stuira."
The New England theory of righteousness is
founded noon tbe principle set forth m this
vcneiable ditty; and the "reverend" parent who
beat bis child l death for tlie same otlense for
which the "old man'' In the song suffered, was
only carrying out to its logical cousequenccs the
prenehimr ol Wendell Phillip in rcspert to all
communities not organized "upon Massachu
setts principles." Joel Lindsley is just us much
entitled to the honors of martyrdom in New
Englnnd as the late John Brown, and a great
deal more fairly entitled to them than Chatles
Sumner. It is an outrage upon human nature
to suppose that this wretched man can have
enlojed the ciime which he commuted; but
John Brown delighted iu the smell of tbc battle
against tbe institutions of Virginia, and Charles
Sumner rcelled in burling the Chinese stink
pots of hh- oratory ugainst his fellow-Seuators
in Congress.
Worldly-minded personsand "Copperheads"
persons, that is, who do not consider It to be
tneir highest duty to thrash their neighbors
into thinking and acting precisely as they
choose to have their neighbors think and act
must look upon this hideous deed of whieu
Lindsley has now been found guilty, with
litter and unfeigned abhorrence. But Linds
ley's image, repulsivejis It is, ts only the image
ol New England Puritanism, as it were, in the
bowl of a spoon; and the great original is
bound, by every consideration of deecuey and
consistency, either to hate and abiurc itselt.
I or to yearn with bowels of sympathetic tenuder
!' ness over this genuine though distorted rellee
, tion of its own featuies.
