V THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1870 OUR CIVIL SERVICE. VSAVY CNBLATJOHT tTPON THE SYSTEM OF POIJTI AL OmCE-HOLDCTO LECTURE BY OEOROE WILLIAM CUBTIS. A lectnre wan delivered on Tuesday evening in the hall of the Young Men's Christian Association, In New York city, by Mr. George "W. Cnrtis, on "Oar National Folly the Civil Service." After a few introductory remarks the lecturer said that at present oiUoes were Siven away at the solicitation of Senators aud lepresentatives, whose dirty work had been done by the candidates whom they thus bene fitted. The knowledge and fitness of officers for their offices were wholly disregarded. All that waa looked for was fierce and unquestionable partisan zeal. He did not wish to exaggerate the danger f this to the State; but the springing of Ihe leak was the beginning of the end of the ship. We now violate the first principles of administrative economy. Not only were States defended by arms and money national honesty was the greatest resource of a people in time of peril. If it were true that under free institution, the dominant party must always find places for its retainers, then it was oertain republican institutions were doomed beoause they were more wasteful and oppressive than any others. This theory of political office holding was not believed in by the men who framed our political system. Mr. Curtis quoted several passages from the letters and speeches of George Washington upon this subject, in which he advised that offices should be given only to gentlemen who were capable and honest, and that these should hold their places during good behavior. President Jackson was the first to remove office-holders on account of their political opinions. Dur ing the first forty years of our independence there were only Beventy-three removals of public officers for cause, while under Jackson alone thousands of office-holders had been re moved. Under our system of the spoils being grasped by the victor, the country was always the victim. President Grant a year ago had declared that he would not remove officers for wholly political reasons, but had Bince found it impossible to brave the hos tility of this system. This system pushed the best men out of office, and honor and Ability with them; and unless it were changed we should ultimately come to the present state of the French people a state of moral disintegration. Every four years the country presented the most revolting spectacle. Politicians of even the highest grade became mere office-brokers, the conn try seethed with corruption, and every man did his best to make hay while the sun shone. Economy, honor, honesty were once of some importance in this country, but now politics were a mere soramble for office. The pubho service of the United States was now wretchedly performed, and at a higher rate than the service of any private corpora tion or mercantile house in the country. There were, no doubt, mon of the highest character in the civil service, but they were exceptions. How could a modest, faithful man be attracted by a competition 01 impu dence, not of integrity or capability t If the civil service were placed on the same footing as the army and navy, it would become a national glory, not a national shame. Only last year it had been proved that a Congressman had sold, openly sold, various offices. This was a revival of the practice of political parties in the last and worst days of ancient Home. When Koine was rotten then it was that her posts of honor and profit were put up to the highest bidder. The evil of the policy of removal from office for political reasons did not stop with the Government. The same principle had been carried into otuer corporations that is to say, the principle of employing men for other reasons than competency and honesty. If there were any man in the rail way interest of the country who brought dis grace upon the American name, the Govern ment itself had been his teacher. Mr. Curtis closed by replying to the principal objections against a reform in the present system, such as that no standard of measuring men could be established, that the new proposed system of life appointments would make a favored and aristocratic class, and, further, that it was borrowed from Europe. A WOLF STORY. A weird-like romance hangs over the heights that crown the river It nine. Tales f feudal magnifience in ancient times rival the stories that lend romantic history to eeenes of the same character in Sootland, and the Rhine passes in its coarse through all the varied changes of rugged magnificence to the calm waters that are bounded by fertile val leys, resembling ratner tne piaoia quiet or a lake than the progress of a stream. Through all these contrasted scenes " The river nobly loams and flows, The charm of this euchanted ground, And all its thousand turns discloHe Some fresher beauty varying round." The Upper Rhine formed a frontier depart ment of France, and Alsace, which belonged to tne uerman empire tin viw, after passing f tne control or Austria, was nually annexed t I ranee by Lioms XIV in 10D7, and the pro vince is now the battle-field of Prussia. In the west of this' province are the chains of the Vosges and Jura Mountains. These stretch in gloomy magnificence, and, with the exception of the poor Alsatian weavers, are rarely penetrated, save by an adventurous hunter in pursuit of came. The chamois here are sought by the sportsmen or pursued by the wolf, who make this nimble-footed courser of the forest their chief subsistence, aave when, in descent upon some fertile or cultivated spot in the plains, they extend their forays to the sheep fold of the peasant Karely, however, does the wolf make these incursions unless impelled by the stern dic tates of hunger. This spurs the natural lazi ness of his disposition, and he then becomes the most dangerous of ravenous animals, ex - . .11 ll :i A 1 m ... rosins aii me sagacity 01 uue i ox. witn an insatiate rapaoity that leads him in extremity to rrev udou the carcass of his Lrothnr wnif The foetid odor of his body is so disagreeable that dogs will hardly attack him, and the flesh refused to be eaten, even by the bloodhound who pursues his trail. An old hunter relates a night's experience IB tne forest ox ine vosges Qwnea the pre sence of these animals was more numerous than at the present time), and how, by an in eemouB rase, no aeieuueu nimseu and dogs from the onset of a pack of these rapacious easts, isignt naa overtaken tne nun tor more than a league and a half from the nearest civilized border. Accustomed to the bivouac he did not hesitate to spend the night in the forest, relying upon the result of his day's labors for a satisfactory meal, which, with a huntsman s providential skill, was duly pre pared by the cheerful fire that contributed both nourishment and warmth. No sign of a lurking foe was remarked until, warned by the iBstiact of his dogs who crouched at his feet, their hair bristling with terror, the expert hauler was notified f a present danger. An Instant's reflection, M4 u h had any doubt of the causa it was certified by the prolonged howl, rather than bark, which distinguishes tne won irona tne dog. The hunter had ensoonoed himself iu the fissure of a caverned rooa, and ne foit secure that he could be attaoked from one side only. So he prepared himself against any surprise and, casting i resn wood upon the fire, peered into tne aarnnesfl, wnere tue dark forms with gleaming eyes revealed the presence of his wolfish assailants. The hun ter felt tnat to mane an open attacK or even forcibly resist assault would be a useless hope, ne well knew that the brightness of the nre woniu aeter immediate assault, xue only fear was that, his supply of material falling short, this method of defense would be exhausted. At last a bright thought suggested itself to his hunter's experience, and knowing that the nature of wolves was sometimes appalled ty the soraping of a violin, he drew from his breast his flute and struck upon it the highest keys in the loudest notes. ine euect was as lUHtantaueoua us remark able. A rushing sound of flying feet sounded accompaniment to the notes of the flute, and the rustling of leaves in the distance died away as the ravenous pack fled to the inuor recesses of the forest. The hunter slept no more that night, but vigilantly stood guard until the patrol of the moon had passed, and the gleam of day assured him of present safety. Since then he never ventured to make a bivouac without companions, even in the forest bordering on civilization, for at that period it was not unusual for a predatory wolf, urged by hunger, to seek tue border settlements and bear off the sheep of the hardy peasant. The wolf of this section is the size of a large mastill, of a greyisn yel low color, that in colder regions becomes white in winter. Some naturalists claim that the wolf and jackal are nothing more than wild dogs; but whilst there is a general re semblance, they differ in the deUils of their structure, and must be placed in a separate genera. In their dental construction they assimilate with the dog, with the exceptiou that in the wolf some of the teeth have fiat surfaces for crushing their food, inasmuch as they live on vegetable as well as animal sub stances. The wolves that formerly infested Scotland exist no more, and even in Germany the race is now nearly extinct. When their presence is ascertained a battue ii formed of the neighboring peasantry, who muster with scythes and pike-guns and every other assail able, weapon, and these rapacious beasts, fero cious when attacking the defenseless, are readily slain by the united force of man. Ihe wolf when takon young may be domes ticated and rapidly breed with dogs, and their progeny are esteemed as valuable shepherd's dogs. In the .Last, as in i-urope, they.are found. but ever fleeing from the face of civilization; they are only sheltered in the recesses ot mountainous forests or lurk on the borders of arid and unpopulated plains. Queen Anne Farthings. A short notioe of the celebrated farthings of Queen Anne serves to close a pleasant sketch of English coinage in a late number of Chambers' Jour nal. Ihe popular belief on this subject is fairly entitled to be enrolled among Sir Thorn us Browne's "Vulgar Errors." The commonly received belief with regard to these farthings is, that three impressions were struck, and that then the die flew to pieces. Inrther, it is very generally sup posed that two only of the three coins are to be found in our collections, and that the third, if it could be discovered, would be of enormous value. The fact of the matter is, that not only are there numerous specimens at the British Mnflflum, but that others may be bought of any dealer. Notwithstanding this, offers of the missing farthing have con stantly been received at the lintiati Museum, at modest prices varying from three hundred to a thousand pounds. One man communi cated on the subject with the Lords of the Treasury, and was much disgusted that no notice was taken of his application. It is said that even royalty itself has been ad dressed upon the matter. At the Dublin Quarter sessions, in 1H14, a man was actually put upon his trial for the alleged unlawful detention of the invaluable farthing. Ihe facts of the case were as fol lows: The plaintiff, John Millar, was a con fectioner in Dublin. George Hone, the de fendant in the case, was plaintiff's journey man, and lodged in his house. On one occa sion Hone came into the parlor, where some halfpence were lying on the table, and among them the farthing claimed by the plaintiff. Hone took it up from the table, and ex claimed that it was a ' Queen Anne's farthing. Thereupon, Millar took it from him, and locked it up. Some weeks after wards Hone borrowed the farthing, on the pretext that he wished to show it to a friend who was a good judge of coin; but he subse quently refused to return it, unless Millar entered into a bond to pay him seven hun dred pounds half of the supposed value of the coin. The defendant was convicted and sentenced to be imprisoned for twelve calen dar months. In passing sentenoe upon him. the Recorder concluded with the following words: "You are sentenced to be imprisoned for twelve calendar months; and unless you give up the farthing not a day of that time will be remitted you. The money of Qaeea Anne's reign is distinguished for the beauty of its design and workmanship. Silk Culture in California. The Cali fornia Silk Factory, corner of Eleventh ave nue and r street, South San Francisoo, is now completed. It is a handsome, spacious building, 50x125 feet, and two stories high. The spinning machinery has already been ordered from the East, the steam engine and other machinery being in process of manu facture in one of the city foundries. The first consignment of raw silk from China his been ordered through Rogers, Myer & Co., at a cost of JfL'iMJO, and tne company intends to receive further installments by each steamer. In view of the extensive growth of the silk culture interest in California, and its contem plated annual increase, the machinists of the city are warranted in manufacturing reeling machinery for sale to i armors. At present the siik cuiturists produce eggs and cocoons only, and, failing to reel off the silk from the cocoons, the factory is unable to make practical use of the productions. The reeling of silk will furnish employment to the childen and wives of farmers inte rested in its culture, and after that process will be a marketable article. The company. meanwhile, will purchase eggs and coooons of the farmers, and in every possible way en courage the interest.. They have at their office some f 400 worth of eggs and two large sacks of cocoons, raised in Santa Cruz county. When the interest ia California attains sufficient magnitude, the company will discontinue purchasing silk material in China, and rely upon the local market. T. Ellsworth has be6n president of the company, vice Kennedy, resigned. On the evening of October 30th the buildincr will h dedicated by a social dance. Han Francisco JJuiiclil. nARXVlt ON BUFFALO UUNTINO. A Trip to the Great Went. I T. Barnnm and his party of ten friends wl ii went to Fort Hays, Kansas, under the fti.- i ioes of the National Land Company, for lb .. purpose of purchasing lands and enjoying a buffalo hunt, have returned in safety. They report having made a delightful trip. The party represented some $4,000,000. Some members of it invested $10,000 in cattle raising and herding on the plains of Kansas and Colorado, while others expended a larger sum for land in both of these localities. Mr. Barnum contributes to the Bridgeport Stan dard an interesting account of his trip, from which we make a few extracts: "At five o'clock next morning the tents were struck, and we were moving rapidly in our ambulances towards the Solomon river, attended by the large cavalcade of soldiers, outriders and the led cavalry horses, saddled, equipped, and set apart for the use of our party in the coming chase. We constantly passed fresh buffalo carcasses and 'chips,' thus indicating that the huge game which we had travelled eighteen hundred miles to en counter was near at hand. Presently we saw three buffaloes quietly grazing some two miles away to our right, but the scouts bore more to the left, as they felt confident of finding buffalo in large numbers in a ravine several miles north of us. We had, however, already travelled nearly twenty miles that morning, when our chief scout was discovered returning towards us on his high-mettled charger at full speed. He gave us the signal to halt. We obeyed ordcrB, and in double quick time we were all on our feet. The scout, in almost a whispor, announced that about FIFTY BUFFALOES were just over the edge of the ravine, half a mile north of us, and that doubtless there were hundreds more a little further west, The blood tingled our finger ends, and sevo ral flushed faces indicated that their owners were in a glow ot excitement. JJnt,not so the military. Coolly and Bystematically,under the steady but watchful eye of Major Hale, the soldiers went to their duty with a recu larity that previous discipline only could have secured. Some led forward our horses while others brought us carbines and army re volvers. "Rapidly divesting ourselves of all super fluous clothing, and, fastening on our belts which held the revolvers, we mounted. "When we were all ready the good-natured Major, in a few kind words, assured us that the buffaloes, instead of being, as we had heard at the L.ast, docile as cows, were very wild and shy, and having been hunted so much in that particular quarter, they were somewhat desperate. " 'Fortunately,' he added, 'they are at the windward of ub, hence with due caution you can approach them all the nearer, but when they once discover you they will show a rate of speed which will tax our fleetest horses to the utmost.' "The Major cautioned us to be calm to aim for the spine or heart, and to give our horses rein and spur the moment we had fired, lest the desperate enemy,receiving only a Blight wound, might attacK us. " 'Our soldiers will not fire unless they see you are in immediate danger, for we wish you to have all the sport and all the honors to yourselves.' 'Furthermore, gentleman,' con tinued Major Hale, impressively, 'remember you are on a boundless plain, and if, by mis chance, one of you should lone Bight of all the rest, you would be like a lone man upon mid-ocean, without chart or compass. A man not long since was lost during the excitement of a hunt near this spot, and at the end of three weeks waa found iu Texas, weak, ema ciated, and nearly dead with hunger aud exposure. He had slain his horse and eaten it raw so long as it was endurable. I shall, therefore, added the Major, 'detail a sol lier to accompany each of you as guard and guide, but I admonish you not to let the excitement which you are an sure soon to experience lead you out of his Bight. "we bowed respectfully to the Major s ad monitions, and quietly walked our horses some forty rods to the brow of the ravine, when we discovered some ntty or sixty im mense bull buffaloes feeding on the slope within a quarter of a mile of us, quite uncon scious of our presence. Never can we forget that novel and thrillingly exciting scene. Ibese mighty monarcbs of the prairie scat tered around within a radius of half a mile formed a picture so grand and bo unique that we held our breath with admiration, perhaps not unmixed with a feeling of awe. " 'NOW FOR THEM, GENTLEMEN,' exclaimed Major Hale, and every man put spurs to bis experienced hunter, and we ap peared to fly on the wings of the wind; some of our party lost their caps, and in their wild excitement they did not miss them, but rode heedlessly on. Presently a huge buffalo raised his head and took to his heels like a frightened deer. The alarm instantly spread, ana tne wnoie nera were in mu nignt. it is really wonderful to witness the extraordinary agility with wmcn these huge creatures can scamper over the plains. "We all gave a triumphant yell, and plung. ins our spurs into the horses' sides the full length of the rowels, we soon began to gain on the noble bovines. But we rode nearly half a mile before the sharp crack of a car bine announced that we were within firing distance. The first shot simply served to arrest the attention of a huge buffalo, three successive charges maddened hrui, and he made a few hasty steps towards one of our riders, but a well-aimed ball hit his spine and he fell to. his Knees and soon toppled over. "Meanwhile the herd scattered in every direction, and each man selecting his animal gave chase to him. The excitement was tre mendous. Some of our party were soon out of sight of the others, and doubtless within twenty minutes some of us were six or oight miles apart. Firing was frequently heard at nearly an points. "About half an hour after the first attack, Major Hale rode up to me and asked what success I bad met with. " 'I have killed one enormous bull and helped to slay three others,' I replied, 'and am satisfied, for it seems cruel and wioked to murder large numbers of these huge beasts, and make no nsetul disposition of them. "Several of our party riding up conourred in this sentiment, each man having slain his animal, and some having R lied two. " 'Well, gentlemen,' said Major Hale, 'if you are satisfied, we will return to our ambu lances as soon as our men have secured for each of you, for preservation, the head of an animal that you have Killed.' "This done we looked for the' ambulances, and as they had gone into a ravine for shelter from a pretty strong wind then blowing over the prairie, it took twenty minutes search of several of the scouts to discover them. The members of our party came in slowly. TUE RESULT OF THE ENCOUNTER. "At the first count we thought our party bad killed twelve or fourteen buUaloei, but at the liual taking 'mooouui oi Hoc, u wus fgund that twenty had been slain. Although we proceeded further to the west and saw herds containing many hundreds of buffalo, we simply gazed on them with wonder and admiration, without feeling the least desire to shed any more blood, we met several hunt ers that day who assured us that they bad seen herds of half a million of buffaloes a few miles west of us, but our curiosity was satis fied, and we had no disposition to add twenty miles of horseback "iding to our day's work. The buffalo bnnt was indeed a great sensa tion, utterly unlike any other we have ever experienced, and our party is unanimous in declaring that it far exceeded our fondest ex pectations." HEAL.
