HOW NOT TO DO IT.
From the A'. 1'. Tribune.
The trial whioh bag so deeply interested
the Methodist Chnrch in the United States
came to an inglorious end last week after a
seven days' course. The only result of the
inquiry has been to sow dimension: in the
Church, to arouse nncharitable feelings in
the ministry, and to fill the outside publio
with suspicion not only of the commercial
Erosperity of the great Methodist Publishing
onse, but of the disposition, or at least the
ability, of the committee to investigate
thoroughly its condition, or correct any
abuses which may have crept into it. This
bitter fruit of the long controversy may have
oprungin part from professional ignorance
of the ordinary forms of dispensing justice,
because ministers are not often familiar with
the processes of courts; but surely common
sense might have saved the committee
' from the egregious blunders which have
marked, their whole course in this import
ant matter. It is about fifteen months
since Dr. Lanahan published his charges
against the management of the Book Con
cern, alleging that there had been heavy
losses through fraud or gross misoonduct in
the administration. The Book Committee
met to investigate these charges, and found
that they were in the main true; but mean
while a violent hostility had been excited
against Dr. Lanahan, and in January, 1870,
the committee was called together again to
revise its former decision. The result of these
supplementary proceedings was a majority
report whitewashing the Book Concern and
declaring that there had been no losses at all,
and a minority report reiterating the previous
judgment.
To unprejudiced outsiders it seemed clear
that Dr. Lanahan's accusations, whether true
or false, had at least so much apparent foun
dation that for the credit of the Church an
exhaustive examination by the tribunal of last
resort should have been ordered without de
lay. But while the charges of fraud and mis
management were still practically undecided,
the trials having resulted in what wai equiva
lent to the Scotch verdict of "Not proven,"
the opponents of Dr. Lanahan preferred an
indictment against that gentleman, and in
October last he was suspended from his office
of Assistant Book Agent until a joint tribunal,
composed of the Book Committee and a cer
tain number of the bishops, should decide
upon his guilt or innocence. The offenses
laid at his door were described as offi
cial misconduct and malfeasance, neglect
of official duty, untruthfulness, irasci
bility, slanderous disposition, insubordi
nation, inefficiency, etc.; but the speci
fications resolved nearly all these into the
one capital crime of impugning the
honesty and efficiency of the
management of the concern. Dr. Lanahan,
in his answer, said in effect, "I have as.
serted that frauds and corruptions exist in
the management of the Book Concern, and I
stand by my words." The trial began on the
12th instant. A whole week was passed in
taking testimony and debating rules of prao
tiee before the excellent gentiemen compos
ing the court realized the position in which
they had placed themselves. Nothing was
proved on a single charge. It was evident
that nothing could be proved. To every ac
cusation against the Assistant Agent that
he made such and such slanderous state
ments respecting the Book Concern the an
swer was the same: "I admit the statements;
they are not slanderous; I am prepared to
prove them." To go to trial on such an issue
was as if the Court of Sessions should sus
pend the trial of indictments until It had first
tried the District -Attorney for slander in
drawing them up.
The Methodist tribunal seems finally to
have realized that in practice, if not in
theory, Dr. Lanahan is the prosecutor in this
controversy and the Book Concern is the de
fendant, and the attempt to put the prose
cutor in the dock and the accused on the
stand is a travesty upon justice. The trial is
abandoned. The Assistant Agent is restored
to office. A special commission is appointed
to probe the affairs of the Book Concern to
the bottom, with the assistance of experts,
and the charges against Dr. Lanahan are re
ferred to the General Conference for such
action as that tribunal of last resort may
deem proper. This is a sensible course at
- last. The conference does not meet until
1872, and there will thus be opportunity for
learning whether Dr. Lanahan's charges are
true before he is indicted lor making them.
THE NAVAL ACADEMY,
From the H. T. World.
According to the Navy Register we have 12
admirals, 2 commodores, r0 captains, and 'JO
commanders in all 177, or more than 3 for
every first, second, and third-rate vessel be
sides 182 lieutenant-commanders, the seniors of
whom command fourth-rates, and the juniors '
doing duty as so-called "executive," naviga
tion, and watch officers. There is, therefore,
no lack of commanding officers, though a
large proportion of them have only had five
or six years' experience at sea. Besides these
there are 140 lieutenants, who have only been
in the service from eight to nine years; 8 I
masters, who have been in it from seven to
eight; and 70 ensigns, from six to seven years
in all :00 for duty as watch and division
officers. Excluding the four years these youths
were employed at the Academy "on shore
duty" that is, were Btudying all they know
besides the scanty supply of "reading,
writing, and the first four rules of arith
metic which they brought with them
into the service the lieutenants have had
an average experience of from four
to five years, the masters from three to four,
and the ensigns of from two to three; and
even this not all at sea, but also "waiting
orderB," on shore duty, and in getting ready
for sea. It it evident, therefore, that in the
event of a foreign war we would have to go
to the merchant service, as we did during the
Rebellion, for competent and experienced offi
cers to navigate, work, and fight our national
vessels. The rough, sailor-like acting master,
though despised by the kid-gloved tiedgliug
of Porter's Naval Academy, was the ollioer
who really saved our navy from discredit,
f ought its battles, gained its victories, and
prevented the shipwreck of nine-tenths of the
extemporized men-of-war which defended our
dangerous coast through so many stormy
winters. The war over, these gentlemen's
Bervices were most ungraciously and sum
marily dispensed with, and men like West,
Giraud, and Conroy pronounced not quali
fied for the regular navy by boards which
did find qualified a set of boys whom the
older officers unhesitatingly say they would
not trust alone on deck. Indeed, one very
distinguished admiral declares that he is glad
tlmt he in retired and does no have to go to
sea, since be would never dare go below in a
gale of wind, without fear of being capsized,
with the young inoompetents now termed
lieutenants in charge of the deck. It is a
matter of notoriety that the late Captain
Napoleon B. Harrison, recently commanding
the frigate Congress, lost his life in conse
quence o' exposure on deck for forty-eight
hours to inclement weather because there
was not a line officer on board his ship in
whose skill or judgment he could rely ! It is
less generally known that an old captain
himself a very distinguished sailor, and no
less distinguished for his independence of
department cliques and influences testified
about a year ago before the Retiring Board
in behalf of a young officer, who was affected
with a serious constitutional disease, tnat tnat
officer was the only one on board the vessel
under his command who undertood his pro
fession and could be left alone in the dis
charge of his duties, and the board actually
allowed trim time for medioal treatment
rather than retire one whose professional
qualification was so exceptional. There is
scarcely a commanding officer of any note
who does not privately bewail in his friends'
ears ( for few of them dare do so openly) the
incompetence not merely of his watch and
division oincers out ot ms so-oaiieu "execu
tive officer," though the latter always belongs
to the comparatively elevated grade of lieu
tenant-commander. Of the 180 lieutenant-
commanders no less than seventy have been
out of the Naval Academy only from four to
five years, and another seventy only from
eight to nine, during which periods the first
set may have performed one full cruise at
sea and the others two, when they acquired
all the experience they possess of practical
seamanship. It is hardly to be presumed
that their summer pleasure-jaunts to Earope
and Madeira in the school-ships as cadets
avail them much, in view of the fact that out
of forty midshipmen who were graduated in
18GU, and who had a year s additional expe
rience on board the Sabine, no less than nine
teen have just failed to pass an examination
for promotion, and have been returned to the
Naval Academy for further instruction.
Judge a tree by its fruits; and since these are
the fruits of the United States Naval Academy,
how rotten must be that trunk which bears
them !
CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
From the A". 1'. Times.
Senator Wilson's bill regulating the ap
pointment of inferior officers in the civil ser
vice, is in some respects the best effort that
has been made in the direction of a very im
portant reform. Except upon a single point,
it is superior to the plan with which Mr.
Jenokas' name is honorably identified, be
cause guarding against abuses which the
Rhode Island representative failed to touch,
and operating with simpler machinery. And
it is infinitely more efficacious than the bill
of Mr. Trumbull, who aims at arresting the
political demoralization which the present
system entails upon Senators and members,
but without making provision for otherwise
improving the service itself.
Instead of organizing a civil service com
mission, as proposed by Mr. Jenckes, Mr,
Wilson would make all appointments subject
to the approval of a board of three examiners
selected by the head of the department in
which the appointees are to serve. In the
first instance, moreover, the appointments
are to be temporary the question of con
tinuance being contingent upon the praotical
efficiency and propriety exhibited during the
probationary period. When thus formally
made, the appointments are for four years
certain any removal meanwhile being con
tingent upon incompetency or impropriety of
conduct, as reported upon by an examining
board.
The weak point of the scheme is the liniita
tion of the appointment to four years. The
fact that the persons holding offices are eli
gible to reappointment, without further exa
mination, upon the recommendation of the
chief of bureau or head of the office in which
they may be servingdoes not essentially im
prove the case. Every four years, under this
bill, the victorious political party might make
a clean sweep ot tne departments. The test
of fitness is indeed a obstacle to the flooding
of the departments witn incompetent men,
and is, so far, a vast improvement upon the
system as it is. But the loss to the country
arising from the time required to familiarize
the officers with their duties will be con
tinued, and the opportunity for wholesale
change will introduce other evils. It may not
be desirable to offer bonuses to young men
to enter tne service of tne Government;
but li its service is ever to be as
efficient as it ought to be, a sense of perma
nence must be created. Only thus can capa
ble officers be induced to give the Govern
ment the full benefit of their capacity. The
fact that every cnange of the lederal Ad
ministration will virtually send them adrift.
will naturally induce the best men in the
service to be on the look-out for openings
elsewhere. And the politicians, with their
eyes upon the recurring opportunity for re
warding their friends, will avail themselves
of the discretionary authority vested by Mr.
Wilson's bill to prevent the reappointment
of incumbents who stand in the way. The
remedy for these forms of mischief is the
making appointments permanent, subject
only to removal tor just cause.
Apart from this defect, there are two fea
tures in Mr. Wilson's bill which cannot be
too highly commended. One forbids any per
son colding ouice by appointment to take
part in any political committee, convention,
or like organization, "under penalty of sum
mary dismissal." The other prohibits all
assessments of money upon clerks or other
employes of the Government, anywhere, for
political or other purposes making the supe
rior official who permits such assessments, or
fails to prevent them, subject to dismissal
and punishment by hue and imprisonment.
Both of these provisions are excellent; the
second is of the highest importance. Put an
end to the levying of assessments in Custom
Houses, in the Post-office or Internal-revenue
service, and in the Departments at Washing
ton, and a more excellent work will be per
formed than Mr. Trumbull's bill could possi
bly enect.
We cannot hope that the reform for whioh
Messrs. Trumbull, Wilson, and Jenckes are
ail working will be achieved at present. The
warmth with which so stronc a man us Mr
Morton resists the action contemplated by
the Illinois Senator indicates the tenacity
with which mere politicians will battle against
a change that would confine their influence to
legitimate channels. As against their hostile
zeal, there is little besides lukewarmness and
a deposition to compromise at the expense of
vital principles. The truth is, that civil ser
vice reform implies not a little self-denial and
disinterested devotion to duty on the part of
legislators, and these are qualities for which
we can scarcely look until the people realize
more vividly than th9y seem now to do the
damage inflicted by the present system upon
the morale of the Government and the inte
rests of the country.
GENERAL GRANT'S NEW DODGE.
Frirm the A". J'. Sun.
General Grant, having thrown the Repub
lican party into confusion by the disgraceful
manner in which be has pressed hla Han Do
mingo job upon Congress and the country,
seems to be casting about for some other
ground on which to rally his broken columns,
lie has selected for this purpose the alleged
disturbances and violations of law in some
portions of the late rebellious States, and
especially in relation to the elections.
v e warn the Republicans that this ques
tion will not afford material for restoring the
waning supremacy of their party in that
section of the country. Candid men at the
North, while ready to admit that society be
low the Potomao and the Ohio may not be
at all times, and under all ciroumstanoes, and
in all places, as peaceful and law-abiding as
in New England, suspeot that the picture is
overdrawn, and that, too, tor partisan pur
poses; and, in view of the events of the past
ten years, they are rather surprised that
society in that section of the Union is so quiet
and orderly as it is. At all events, the great
majority of those who hrmly stood with the
Government through all the late convulsions
are decidedly opposed to the passage of any
more reoonstruotion acts by Congress, and
think the time has fully come when the con
trol of the bouthern States should be confided
to their own citizens, without any exceptional
interference on the part of the Federal Gov
ernment.
It is now five years and eight months since
the Rebel armies were disbanded; and, after
vexatious and seemingly needless delay, the
last of the Confederate States is about to
be admitted to full representation in Con
gress. Is it not time that the Southern
people were left untrammelled to try their
nsnds at governing themselves ? Ought not
the results of the elections of the past autumn
to teach the Republicans that a long-con
tinued policy of coercion will finally recoil
upon its authors ? Do they believe that they
can forever pin the people of the South down
to obedience to the laws with Federal bayo
nets ? Is it not better to put them upon their
good behavior, and, as in ordinary oases, let
pains and penalties follow rather than pre
cede the commission of offences? Do the
Republicans imagine that by any system of
legislation, or by any muster of military
forces they can preserve to themselves the
entire negro vote of the South, and thereby
carry the old slaveholding States for their
Presidential ticket in 1872 ?
Of course General Grant, if he thought
that by so doing he could restore his tarnished
prestige with the Republican party, and re
vive his blighted prospeots for a renomina-
tion, would not hesitate to raise false issues
in regard to the condition of affairs in the
South, and plunge that section of the Union
into renewed eonfusion. But it will not prove
to be a winning game for him, while it may
render it impossible for tho party to eleot any
one to the Presidency next year. Intelligent
Republicans had better take the management
of the party Into their own bands, and not
leave it any longer to a man whose narrow
vision does not allow him to contemplate
anything beyond the promotion of his own
selfish ends.
