The Civil Berries bill, which Mr. Jenckes has labored bo long and so industriously to per fect, has met with a cold reception in the House of Representatives. After being sub j eo ted to a Beries of attacks from its enemies, and after a number of amendments had been offered, it was unanimously recommitted, on motion of its author, bo that further efforts might be made to render it acceptable. For practical governmental purposes, the present system of selecting and dismissing employes is about the worst that human ingenuity could devise. It facilitates the appoint ment of hosts ef incompetent and dishonest men, and the discharge of thousands of useful and conscientious officers. Tho-e evils would be obviated to a large extent by the passage of the Civil Service bill, but it h questionable, on the other hind, whether it would not have a tendency to create a per manent office-holding class. In spite of the defects of the present system, many people Would be loth to surrender the free-and-easy opportunities it affords to turn any existing incumbent out of office, and to put anybody who can muster, by hook or crook, a strong array of influence, into a position which he is totally disqualified to fill. One of the greatest distinctions between a monarchy and a republic, after all, arises from the facilities afforded in the former to limited aristocratio classes to monopolize offioial appointments, and the free manner in which all offices, from the highest to the lowest, are thrown open in the latter, alike to the incompetent and the competent, the poor and the rich, the powerful and the weak. When we begin to prescribe a fixed standard of qualifications, and to create boards of ex aminers, it is difficult to tell where to stop, for if clerks and collectors are to be cate chised in regard to their characters and acquirements, why should Presidential candi dates and Congressmen be suffered to escane similar investigations ? The Chinese have carried the principle of competitive ex aminations to a ridiculous excess, making lite rary merit and scholastic attainments the only sure aids to ambition, and yet it is doubtful whether, on the whole, they are as well served officially as America. Our hap-ha.ard system gives office to thousands of undo- Bervincr men. but it facilitates the entrance t ' into official life of thousands of other men re markably well adapted to the public service, whose merits would never gam recognition under a restrictive and competitive system, and it secures a perpetual infusion of active new blood in every department of the Govern ment, thus preventing the old fopryism and stagnation that frequently prevail in the official circles of other countries. When to these objections to a radical change are added those arising from the aversion of politicians to a surrender of patronage, we do not wonder at the hostility displayed to the Civil Ser vice bill. Before it can become a law it must evidently be modified so as to be nearly destitute of meaning and efflaaoy, and the best that can be hoped now is that a slight check mar be imposed on incompetent and dishonest office-hunters. THE NEW STATE OF DELAWARE. Delawa.be is too near a neighbor for us not to take a friendly interest in her affairs, and it is with regret that we find a large portion of her population still indisposed to heed the admonitions and suggestions of reforms that we have advanced from time to time for her benefit. Delaware still clings to the whipping. post and pillory with fondest affection; she still sends Saulabury to the Senate, and does a variety of other very shocking things that we of Pennsylvania are compelled to view with displeasure. Delaware, however, takes after little men, bantams, and terriers in being exceedingly self-assertive, and the more she is advised for her own good, the more she declares that she will do as she pleases, so that really there seems to be no hope for her unless her boundaries are enlarged. Independently of the fact that it is a great wrong to the rest of the Union that a few square miles oi not very tniciuy popu lated territory like Delaware should have two .Senators and Bach Senators as Bayard and Saulsbury her limited area is a disadvantage in a great many respects, and in none more so than in the fact that it has a tendency to make her people conservative and opposed to all reforms. The peculiar geographical situation of Delaware has a good deal to do with this, but her limited area has perhaps more, and it is for the interest n t only of the people immediately concerned, bnt for that of the whole country, that such seven-by-nine States as Delaware and Rhode Island should be abolished. - Not for a moment must it be suppose J that we propose to tow Delaware out beyond the Capes and sink her, whipping-post, pillory, and all, beneath the blue waves of the At Untie. On the contrary, we are in favor of adding to the dignity and im Dortanoe of Delaware by annexing to her n tv, ais..Ant territory east of the Choia- ceake Bay. The peninsula which include Delaware and the Eastern Shores of Virginia and Maryland would make a very respectable State, whereas it is now looked upon by tun iii niitaida very xnuch as a sort oi no- man's land that is not of much account any. ' hn Tim Eastern Shores of Marvlxn l aul Virginia have undoubtaJly suffer! li being detached to such aa extent from te states to which they belong, and the inhab tants have never wielded that influence, either political or social, that properly belongs to them, and little Delaware, locked in by these outlying provinces, at times runs a fair chance of being forgotten altogether. By the creation of a new State to be called Delaware, of course out of the peninsula, the people would be excited into something like activity, the value of property would be in creased, railroads would be built, and im provements innumerable would be made that would in a few years transform what is now one of the fag-ends of creation into a garden spot. The natural advantages of the penin sula are many, and it is only because it has been so unluckily divided politically that it has remained for so long a time in the back ground. The interests of the three sections are identical, and they are to a great extent diverse from those of the States on the other side of the Chesapeake Bay, but these inte rests can never be properly maintained so long as the present boundary lines continue. "1 he idea of erecting the peninsula into a separate State has been talked about ia a sleepy Bort of a way by the people of the re gion for some time past; but, as in all de tached neighborhoods, the local pride is great, and this, with the fine flavor of anti quity that prevails on the Eastern Shore and in Delaware, has had its influence in pre venting any steps being taken to accomplish what most persons consider a very desirable object. We scarcely hope for any move in the desired direction by the peninsularians themselves, but as we take a sincere interest in their welfare, we are willing to advocate their cause, and startthe ball for them; so we fling our banner to the breeze and cry three cheers for the new State of Delaware. A despatch from Washington says that suits are about to be brought against ex-col lectors of internal revenue whose accounts still stand open. These deficiencies amounted on the l.'th of December, 18G8, to more than ten millions of dollars, which sum, it is sup posed, has been materially increased since. It is high time that these accounts were ad justed, as the burdens imposed upon tax payers to meet the necessary expenses of the Government are qnite sufficient without the additional contributions involved in the con tinuation of largo balances in the hands of ex-collectors.
