ONE MOTIF, AKOUMENT FOR A BETTER
CIVIL SERVICE SYSTEM.
Frtm the X. Y. Xaiion.
Now tLiit the question of civil Kfrviee re
form hns passed the utago of vituperation an 1
reached that of argument., it urny not bo un
interesting to bring before tbe public n
department of the Government where the
essential principles of Jlr. Jenckes' plan have
been in operation for over a quarter of n cen
tury. In the United States Coast Survey we
have an example of the results of permanence
in office, of promotion determined by service
and abilities, and of pay graduated by the
value of services, and see their results in the
deroted labor, so arduous as to require the
highest talents of both body and mind of its
member?, and in the enprit tie corps inciting (
the officers to their best work showing how
well this system of work is suited to the exi
gencies of our publio service.
The Coast Survey had its nominal begin
ning almost at the creation of the Govern
ment, but its real work began when it came
into the hands of its lamented chief, the lato
Alexander Dallas Bache. Under his supervi
sion, the corps grew from the dozen officers
who confined their efforts to certain special
points on the shore to a body of more than
one hundred. As the survey rose to impor
tance, after President Jackson began the sys
tem of rotation in office, and developed under
the cautious policy of a chief who knew
enough to shelter it from politics, it was so
fortunate as to escape the evils of that system.
This branch of the publio service is orga
nized on a different basis from any
other department of the Govern
ment. It has but throe grades aid,
rib-assistant, and assistant so that the
hances of promotionjare quite limited. Th
pay of none of those officers exceed that of
a captain of infantry of the same length of
service. During the past decade the pay of
the aids has not averaged over $(JU0 per
annum, and that of the two highest grades
has been on the average less than $1(00
salaries not calculated, it would seem, to
induce men of ability to seek or retain posi
tions in the service. The duties are severe,
equalling, if not exceeding, in exposure and
hardship those of the soldier's or sailor's life.
The field parties remain the whole year at
their work, employed on different parts of
the coast at different seasons.
There are those who will imagine that such
a life might have something of sportsman
adventure about it. They will soon be dis
enchanted if they accompany a party into
the field. Let them start with the chief of
the party and his aids, after an early break
fast, for a day's wrk which is to last until
five, and drag with him through some miles
of fiwamp, determining the position of each
lagoon and each bosky island. Let him
leep in a storm-shaken tent, miles away
from all the conveniences of life, and repeat
this year after year, and look forward to it as
the work of his lifetime, and then estimate
its fascination. It needs no more extended
description to show that this is work which
in itself is not highly desirable; that its re
muneration is not such as to attract a man
into it with the hope ef soon accumulating a
fortune; and yet no service in any country
has been more fortunate in the character of
its officers, none where the labor is more
faithful and devoted, none where there is so
little difficulty in selecting satisfactory candi
dates for any position which may become
vacant. Young men of education, who would
be insulted by the offer of any other inferior
position in our civil service, eagerly accept
the chance of the place of aid, with its pay
less than a common laborer earns, though
their work may be one continued hardship
until their promotion comes.
We do not have to look far to find the main
cause of this wide difference in the condition
of this branch and the other divisions of our
civil service. We find it in the nature of the
tenure by which the officers hold their posi
tions. Each appointment being for life, or
during good behavior, every member of the
corps ia sure that diligent service ia the only
claim to his office, and that while he gives
this nothing can ever forfeit his position.
Further than this, the young men know that
although, during their time of schooling,
which lasts from six to seven years, they re
ceive but small pay, and occupy quite subor
dinate positions, they have only to wait
and work to aohieve the highest
position which their corps can give.
There is some advantage in the limited
extent of the promotion. An able officer
Arrives at the highest stage of the rank of the
corps during his youth, and feels then that
the promotion of the future is the elevation
in the esteem of his compeers which able
work alone can Give, ine grades of rank are
enough to express the successive stages in
the educational progress of the officer, with
out affording an opportunity for the incum
bent of any position to be continually seek
ing promotion, an evil which is likely to exist
whenever a whole utetime may be spent in
successive advancements.
There are those who have asserted, some
of them no doubt with conviction that it was
more than a good war-cry, that any civil-service
system which embodied the idea of per
manence in office and svstematic oro motion.
based on value of services, would lead to the
formation of an aristocracy of office-holders.
Expressed in this way, the well-informed
reader is apt to laugh at the assertion, and
think it unworthy of argument; bnt to credit
the propounders of this argument with some
thing better than the silly idea their words
express, we will suppose they mean that
a body of office-holders, intelligent.
trained in the art of association, Beonred
against the world while they fulfilled their
tatks. might prove too powerful for safety
With their influence, they might have some
thing of the same dangerous power now held
by such large systems of corporations as the
national banks. Although the te mptations to
political efforts on the part of the officers of
the Coast borvey have been, on the wkoie, as
great as they could be expected to be in any
department of the civil service; although, as
a remarkably intelligent body, it would have
had great opportunities if such a position
could give them, we have yet to hear that the
liberties of the country have been menaced
by it, or that it is the seed of the oommg
aristocracy.
Nor can it be asserted that it is the aoci
dents of this Coast Survey service which
make its positions seem so desirable to those
seeking public employment. There is no
showy uniform, no sounding titles bringiag
a traditional respect. Whatever credit at
tachea to tbe service and reflects upon its
officers is to be attributed solely to the repu
tation for skillful work which has been gam
ed by the corps. We must leave it to the
xuioreicopio eye of some of the objectors to
Mr. Jenckes' plan to discern the reason why
this system, which works so cheaply and
effectively in the difficult work of surveying
our extended coRst lino, cannot be applied
to another coast work, namely, tho collection
of our customs; or why a pUn which secures
faithful service from patties of civilians,
w orking in positions whore they cannot be
elosely watchod, might not secure a liko effi
ciency in the other branch of our much
abuF.cd revenue system.
A rOHTUGUESE il FAHLAND.
From the iY. 1. World.
A small country reads us a great lesson on
a ri eat subject. This is not surprising. Says
old lien Jonson:
"It Is nut irrowlns like a troo
lu bulk, doth make men better be.''
And if not men. not nations. A Portuguese
husband, much more enrtaiuly and plainly
wronged in his affections than the dull crea
ture Mcl'arlund, has just given the world an
infinitely higher and more equitable type of
con jugal veijgeance t han ho. This Lusilanian
"Othello, D Aveira by name, a man of ex
cellent social position, was married to a young
Urazilian beauty only nineteen years old,
wLom he is described as loving with a fervor
usual, perhaps, with husbands in Lisbon. It
is the frequent fate of husbands married to
charming young ladies of nineteen to possess
intimate friends of their own sex who fully
appreciate tho fascinations of their wives.
Senhor D Aveira had not escaped this fate.
His intimate friend was a certain Senhor Gar
rett, a conspicuous member of Lisbon society,
and a man of letters alike in public and in pri
vate. The Paris riuro, in commenting upon
the appearance of Lord Cole as a correspondent
in the recent jMLordaunt case in Liomlon, oddly
mistook the meaning of the phrase, and
pointed out, to the amazement of all French
men, that puritanical severity of British
morals which makes "correspondence on
the part of a married woman with any man
but her husband a criminal offense. Not even
in England is "correspondence" in such cir
cumstances as yet a crime. But in and out of
Lngland it is worse than a crime for it is a
blunder. So it proved in Portugal.
The husband of Senhora U'Aveira disco
vered hi3 wife's correspondence with his
friend Garrett, forced from her a f nil and
fatal confession of all that he most dreaded
yet most determined to hear, and thereupon
proceeded to murder the guilty lover ? Not
at all. liis nrst act was to put to death his
wife, which he did in the most considerate
pohbible way; first stupefying her with chlo
roform, and then strangling her with his
hands. Othello would doubtless have done
as much had anesthetics been known in his
time, for his use of the bolster was clearly
intended to have the same effect on Des
demona which chloroform had on Senhora
D'Aveira.
Tho lady once out of tho way, her lord sent
word to the false friend thut he longed to
send him after his paramour. Sonhor Gar
rett, struck with horror and remorse, refused
point blank to meet his injured friend in the
way "customary among gontletaen." lie in
formed Senhor D'Aveira, however, that on a
given day, at a given time, he should leave
Lisbon forever by the train to Paris, and that
if Senhor D'Aveira designed to shoot him an
opportunity would then offer. This magna
nimity had its effect. Instead of repairing
with a revolver to the railway station and
blowing out the brains of Garrett, D'Aveira
got into a cab, went to the police office, and
gave himself up as the murderer of his wife.
The murdered lady was buried amid
the tears and flowers of the
capital. The murderer lios in jail
awaiting his trial. The self-exiled lover has
gone to France to enter a Trappist monastery,
where he will divide his time between dig
ging his own grave and praying for pardon,
and where be wjll only be allowed to speak
with his fellow-creatures once a week, on
Thursdays, and then for the cheerful purpose
are all the materials of a genuine tragedy;
but it is not upon the literary or the senti
mental aspects of the case that we just now
care to dwell. What we desire to insist upon
is the dignity and the logic of these proceed
ings of the Portuguese husband as compared
with the low, selhsh, and oowardly conduct
of the slayer of Itichardson. The suffering
which alone can excuse a man for taking the
life of a man who has inflicted it upon him
should be bo intense as to make life unendur
able by the sufferer himself. D'Aveira,
in surrendering himself to justice, courts
the death which McFarland so eagerly
Bought to escape. In killing Richardson
rather than his wife, McFarlaad insulted the
latter by the implication that, though she had
betrayed him, it was only because she was the
tool of A superior nature. The Portuguese
gentleman exhibited a much liner feeling of
respect for the capacity and the responsi
bility of woman. Nor can the behavior of
the paramour, Garrett, be pronounced other
than delicate and refined. The whole story,
in short, reveals a social order so much supe
rior to tnat not and nngger-muggenng inco
herence of the conjugal system whieh was ex
hibited to us by the history of Itichardson
and the McFarlands, and applauded by the
Beechers and the Frothinghams, that one is
tempted to hope Portugal may give herself
the trouble of sending out to us a missionary
enterprise for the reform of Boston matri
mony and Indiana divorces.
THE BATTLE OF THE BRICKS,
fhm the Ki Y. Tribune.
Not to be outdone by the Yankees in any
thing, England has treated herself to a civil
war, to wnich she points us with a good deal
of complacency. It has taken the form of a
siege. The Brickmakers' Union is the attack
ing force; the besieged "a party by the name
of Johnson." The siege of Troy and the
long investment of Jerusalem pale their in
effectual horrors before the remarkable de
tails of this modern beleaguerment. It is
true, the bloody conflict ia compacted
within a small space, but it has crone
on now for a twelve-month, and is fully
endued with all the pomp and panoply
or glorious war. J here are the two inde
pendent, belligerent powers; there is Mr.
Johnson, fortified in his back diniag-room:
there are the brickmakers, like the fiery
Huns, deploying under "their sulphurous
canopy;" there are perpetual pale sentinels of
chambermaids ana btable-boys npon the ram
parts; there are bombs; there are infernal
machines: and there certainly will be human
gore. A heroio constable, such as ho who
erst descended like avenging fate upon
Ueneral UJNein ana oore mm off by the
breeches from amid the deadly host, would
probably put a summary end to this carnage:
but England remains neutral as in our own
civil war, and declines to form any alliance
either with the serried ranks of the brick
makers or with Mr. Johnson.
The history of this first year of the Bittle
of the Bricks is as follows: Sir. Johnson is a
builder and a Briton. Being, like all Britons,
an epitome in miniature of the pluck and
doggedness of John Boll, he was resolved to
build in his own way, and that the most
direct way to furnibh him with bread and
butter. The Manchester Union issued an
edict forbidding the shaping of 6tono in the
quarries or the manufacture of brick by ma
chinery. Mr. Johnson disregarded the ordi
nance, and went on quietly with his business
in these two methods, as usnaL Upon which
be was denounced and placed under tho b in.
For rrore than a year he has lived in dread of
assassination. He is compelled to steal from
place to place like a convict, under cover
of the night. "I have not dared," ho says,
to go home iu my own carriaa for
twelve months. No one, at present,
knows where I Rleep. My servants dare
not remain in my house: my friends are
afraid to come near me. If I go to bed, it
must be for dog-sleep, and always on
the alert." His timber yards navo boon
tired; daily attempts are made to assassinate
him; bottles filled with explosive materials,
end packed in clay, are thrown into his pro
mises; a tram of powiler, about a month aqo.
was laid under his house, which, if it had not
1 een accidentally discovered, would have
blown it and his family to atoms. So extra
ordinary is the whole affair, and so closely
allied to an actual siege, that the police re
fuse to interfere, unless "paid for work out
side of their duty." Mr. Johnson, ''before
proceeding to hire armed men, under his
own control," appeals te the Home Secretary
for protec tion, but so far without effect. Tho
press denounce violently the inaction of the
Government, and compare the recent out
rages of tho trades' unions in Sheffield aud
Manchester with tho brigandage in Greoce;
bnt brickmakers and police continue calmly
on their course, without interfering with
each other. "Truly, says Mr. Johnson, "my
case is a hard one," which is at least a mild
way of putting it.
Joking tipurt.the all air is a most reinancnble
one, and affords us a curious glimpse into the
action and reaction of the English Govern
ment and people against each other. That
any body of men should bo permitted for a
year to thus make open war upon an indi
vidual for legully pursuing a legal business
seems incredible to Americans. Symptoms
of weakness such as this will soon load us to
doubt whether John Bull is not stronger
everywhere else than at homo. When he
makes war against the Russians, tho Iu
dians, or Chinese, ho moves as a unit; the
son of a peer commands the regiment, and
builders and bnckmukers nil up tho ranks;
the olory of Old England incites tho
whole body. But. it is a curious question
whether Old England at homo is not in
tho condition of that body of which JEsop
tells us when legs, arms, and stomach fell
into dissension, and conspired against tho
head. "Why should it rule over us?" said
thoy. "Whatever brains it had once are
worn out." We would be loth to suspect a
parallel case on tho other side of the water.
lut the bniffs of contempt with which royalty
is put to the test now and then, as in tho
Mordannt case, are ominous; and so was tho
haste with which the House of Lords lately
got out of the scales into which they had
placed themselves to be weighed. But the
astounding respect which the Government
pays to the belligerent brickmakers is more
significant sign than ail, and one which he
who runs may read.
HOW IT STRIKES A SAYAGE.
From the X. T. Times.
As a people, wo havo boen greatly describ
ed. Travellers have descended upon us from
every point of the compass, and, notebook in
hand, have compiled for the information of a
wondering world marvellous sketches of the
great nation of the West. At last, however,
we have found tho long-sought-for impartial
observer the critic born of our own soil.
who is yet as destitute of native preposses
sions as of foreign prejudices. The noble
red man is at Washington in all his uncultur
ed and polysyllabic majesty, and in numbers
sufficient to hold a council in the Capitol.
vvntnitwB8 lately reported that Spotted
Tail feared his veracity would Butter from a
recital of the marvels he bad seen, we made
sundry ineff ectual guesses as to what special
novelty could nave so powertully impressed
the great chief. Now we have found a key
to the mystery. The less reticent Red Cload
has not waited for a return to his people to
give his impressions of our civilization.
From the safe altitude of his hotel balcony
he has looked upon things as they are, but
instead of being awed by the sight of the
latest products of centuries of refinement
and invention, his savage mind is absolutely
moved to mirth at the contemplation of the
triumphs of modern fashion as displayed in
ladies' bonnets, dresses, and waterfalls. What
he would think of their boots, we can only
dimly conjeoture; and it would be no less
interesting to know whether Thunder Skin
and her sisters will be moved to a jealous
emulation of the inexpressibly graceful stoop
which is inseparably associated with paniers
and high heels.
For the elucidation of questions so inte
resting, we would suggest that Gen. Parker
reconbider his resolution to keep the Great
Chief out of the reach of the interviewers.
Even should somo enterprising publisher
induce the hero of tbe Sioux to give his im
pressions to the world, it is probable that
we may then have reached a new cycle of
fashionable change, and that the old may
appear as ludicrous to us as it now does to
Red Cloud. And besides, it is in the nature
of things impossible that the Chief can know
as much about his own opinions as an enter
prising interviewer could extract from him,
even with the disadvantage of conversing
through an interpreter. Were this embarrass
ing prohibition but removed, a Mood of light
might be thrown npon our institutions. The
immense talking power of Congress could
scarcely fail to receive its meed of unsophis
ticated admiration, while a vague astonish
ment would be elicited regarding the crowds
of people who throng tho capital with no
ostensible occupation, and no perceptible
means of living. It is sad to think that we
may never know whether lied Cloud and his
companion braves ever felt moved to invest
in a pearl-colored beaver, or to carry an um
brella with them as a memento of civilization.
What their opinions may be about ice-cream
and mixed drinks are as much lost to pos
terity as their judgment about the tariff, the
income tax, or the value of Congress from a
purely business point of view. There is still
a chance, however, of the imaginative faculty
of the interviewer coming into play, and in
venting for us a complete synopsis of the
opinions of Mrs. White Cow-Rattler and Mrs.
Thunder Skin on the manners and customs of
the pale faces.
REQUIESCAT IN PACE.
From tht K. T. Tribune.
The General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church, now in session at Philadelphia, have
been engaged during the present week in con
solidating the boards and committees of the
missionary organization, and compacting aud
perfecting the financial machinery of the
united body in order that its future conduct
may be easy and effective. One of the most
important improvements made is the removal
of the consolidated Boards of Home Missious
fiom 1 hiiudelphi to ltw Voik. tho vote in
favor of this city standing SOO to i;..l. Suoh
, a result was only to be txpested. The dele
gates to the Assembly are mon of wMvawake
intelligence as well as piety, and shrewl
enough to perceive tho importance of finding
a leverage for great religious operations in
tho centre of both commercial and mental
enterprise. There is a certain force, freedom,
and sweep in tho very air of New York thut
give to everj business undertaking linked
hire a strong propulsion to success. Now
Y orK hns rank vigor enough to Spare for tho
ht !p of a dozen sluggi.ih places such as Phila
delphia or Chicago, anil is eqvally ready to
send missionaries to lead their sleepy inhabi
tants to heaven, or repeaters to do their
voting for them, as occasion may require.
Bui while congratulating our reverend
friends of the Assembly upon tho acumen
displayed in tl.f ir choice, we feel constrained
not to allow tho occasion to p ws without ad
dressing a grave word of warning to our
Kttiid Quaker sister city. It has always been
supposed that it was against her will that tho
currents of trado and enterprise of every kind
steadily ebbed from her to New York. When
her capitalists were foiced to come here to
establish bases of operations, even to start a
line of steamers, wo gave her credit at least
for viewing tho secession with a wry face.
We held it to be her misfortune, and not her
fault, that she was always left high and dry
on the lee-shore; that not only trado, but
even emply-headed fashion, passed her by.
We deemed her worthy of sympathy whon,
jear by year, tradespeople, brokers, artists,
journalists, everybody, in short, in whom
was a breath of energy, lied precipitately
from under the cloud of stagnatinn that in
volved her, as tho righteous of old from the
unhappy, befogged cities of the plain. But
we lmrn with surprise of late that this
desertion is looked upon with complacency
by our sister city. She has looked so long and
steadfastly at her own image that, liko Nar
cissus, she has fallen in love with it. What
can taste, refinement, culture, ask more in a
city than her comfortable boxes of dwellings,
faced by Fairmonnt water works and backed
by her merkets ' Nothing in human nature,
of course, can surpass Penn. Perfection
being thus reached iu every count, she has
resolved to lie down, inexorably finished for
all time, lapsing into a state of as utter pas
sivity as Buddha himself. The Treaty Elm
throws its shadow of torpidity to her utter
most limit. She has set up tho image of
Penn on all her public places, upon her
streets, even to tho bakers' wagons that roll
therein. Woe to him who jars her rest now
with vulgar motions of trade or reform ! Be
he capitalist, man of genius, or colored lec
turer, she sends him to New York snubbed
nDd silenced.
Is it worth while to try to rouse her ? Has
she di-termineel, like the drowning French
man, that she will be dead and nobody shall
save her? After all, may not this utter tor
por be a wholesome spectacle in tho hurly
burly of American life, aud serve the same
purpose of incitement to solemn and melan
choly thoughts of death and the dacay of all
things as a cemetery in the midst of a crowded
city ? Such, doubtless, is the useful end de
signed for our comatose sister. We stand
aside, therefore, and regard her with respect
ful silence. Peace te her slumbers !
