1IIE CIVIL SERVICE BILL.
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.
