Towanda, Thursday, May 201,186 W.
APPOINTMENTS TO OFFICiI4
The recent debate in Oongresi, re
garding the mode of selecting public
officers, and the character of some of
the appointees, will do some good, at
least, by directing public attention
to the matter. Senator Warm& in;
etanced two of the appointments from
Pennsylvania as being those of a
"constitutional drinkard" and a "con
stitutional: thief" Without going in
to the propriety or truth of these
charges, there seems to be enough
foundation for them, to give occasion
for a general consideration of the
modus operandi by which the federal
appointments are governed and eon
trolled.
The patronage, so to Call it, of .the
General Government has immensely
increased within a few yeirs, in 'the
number of officials and the. value set
upon the places they hold. The Re
bellion, by creating a vast national
debt, involved the necessity of reve
nue laws to provide' for the payment
of interest, and the ultimate 'liquida
tion of the principal, to collect which
revenue required a board of officers
covering the whole country. 'These
added to the men necessary to tran
sact the public business of a nation,
so extensive in its territory, and so
vast in its resources, as ours, make
up an army, not' smallin numbers,
owing their places-to the President,
or_to hie Cabinet.
The desire to hold office,seems to be
a growing evil. Men look withlong
ing eyes to places which will scarce
afford them a subsistence, the tenure
of which is limited to a short period,
at best, and is often uncertain, and
give up honorable and respectable
callings to sink themselves into mere
machines, to perform a daily routine
of drudgery, subject to the whims
and caprices of those clothed'in a lit
tle brief authority. Without going
into the moral and social aspects of
the matter, it is now sufficient for
our purpose to know that the expe
rience-of the past few weeks has de
monstrated that the bunt for ffice
has become an evil which must be
_checked and discouraged, fur the wel
fare of the country, and the proper
administration of public affairs.
How to properly diScriminate be
tween the host of applicants,has been
a serious and perplexing question to
Gen. GRANT, to his constitutional ad
visers, and not less annoying to the
Senators and Representatives in Con-
gress. The irruption of patriots de
siring to serve , tbeir country in some
public capacity, from first class mis-
skins, down to country post office 6,
was perfectly fearful. There was
nut a member of either House,. whO
was not heartily rejoiced to escape
from the daily importunity which
made his life a burden at the Capitol.
And we fear that many have not
found at home that haven of quiet
and rest for which they longed.
It is not wonderful that in all this ,
rush. and scramble for office, 'some'
appointments have , been made of
mon who were neither qualified by
abilities lnor deserving in character..
The custom has been, we believe, for
Senators and Represeptatiqes to sign,
indb•crimir i rately, the recommenda
tions%
of evlrspplicant,as the easiest
method by wNch to get rid of their
importunity. Much of the wrong
which has been done bas grown out
of this custom. It is due to Gen.
GEtA.NT to say, that whenever he has
been satisfied that improper appoint
ments4iave been made,he has proml4-
ly withdrawn them, and we have no
doubt, but that he will be equally
ready to displace those in office when
it shall be demonstrated that they
are unfit for their positions.
Mir The Legislature of Conneti•
cut has ratified the Fifteenth Amend
ment, by t. strict party vote—every
Democrat vdting in the negative.—
The vote shows chat there •is no
breaking in the Republican ranks in
that State, on the- question of negro
suffrage. Thus it will be seen, even
cons4rvative Connecticut- fully ac
ccepts the measure of justice. • In
deed; as , it was an issue in the cam
paign, and as the election was carried
with a full understanding that this
measure was to be puttied, the Legis
lature could not have failed to pass it
withont a breach of trust with the
people. "The victory of the Connecti
cut Republicans, won, as it was, with
this distinct understanding, shows
how little real foref there was in the
objections urged by Democratic mem
bers of Congress against submitting
the amendment to Legislatures not
; elected with special reference to this
question. In Connecticut, one of the
moat conserva tive
i of States, it was
submitted directly to the people, and
with the result we see. After this no
Republican Legislature will feel the
slightest delicacy in ratifying the
amendment merely because its Allem
hers Were elected before themeasure
was adopted by Illongreion -Even the
fact that a State has once passed
upon and rejected equal suffrage as
a mere State question has no weight,
as has been shown by the fact' that
Pennsylvania and various' other
States heretofore opposed to the po
litical equality of the . , colored man
have already ratified the . amendment
This happy result is doubtless due in
some measure to the noble and tme
.
quivoeal ground taken by President
Gsoarr in its , favor. •

The annual convention of the "Protestant
Episcopal Church of
. the Dioci;se of Penn
aylvania, met in St. Andrew's Church ,un
Eighth Street, on Tuesday afternoon' The
proceedings thus far are not inirticularly
interesting. The convention sermon was ,
delivered yesterday morning, by Bev. Prim
mes Bsooxs, after, which Bishop Smite
read his annual address, detailing hie labors
forth a 'conventional year. He . confirmed
1584, delivered 220 sermons and addressee,
ordained 13 to the deaconate, attended three
funerals, opened two churches, celebrated
five marriages, installed one rector and laid
one corner-atone. For over two months
during the year he was incapacitated from
attending to his official dutiesOg reason of
accidents and resulting . illness. Thi s Males
made sad havoc with plans of labor be had
marked out. Still ho missed but a single
appointment which he had made during the
entire year. The Bishop referred to the ex
treme extent of the diocese, saying that ,it
required more labor than any one man had
the capacity to give. He spoke univalifled
ly in favor of a division of the dioc but
also statedtbat any agitation of the subject
at the present convention was uncalled for,
and could produce no good result, since the
success or defeat of the measure depended
upOn the General Convention. My opinion '
is, that the interests of the Church would
be much better served by'the -appointment
of an Assistant Bishop.
On the assembling of the convention yes
terday afternoon quitea spirited discussion
arose in reference to the election of the
Standing Committee, the High Church par
ty exhibiting a strong disposition to throw
Dr, NEWTON, and I regret to say the Bishop
seemed to sympathize with them ; at all
events his decisions and rulings were' very
partial to the opponents of Dr. N. The
vote proved that a majority of the conven
tion disproved the opposition made to Mr.
NEWTON.
I noticed that yoni county was represent
ed in the convention, and that both the .
clerical• and lay delegates votodagainit the
High Churchmen..:
In walking up Sixth Street the other morn
ing, I noticed the familiar name of J. T.
Parr, Attorney -at-Law, on the bulletin
board at the entrance to the upper morns of
the "edger buildings. I dropped in and
found Mr. P. busily engaged in attending
to his clients. He is doing a fine business.
And is becoming quite popular as a repub
lican politician. His old friends in Brad
ford will be glad to hear of his success.
• On visiting the Custom House, I found
Mr. GOODRICH fully installed in the Survey
or's Office. He already appears as much at
home. as he over did in his sanctum in the
Ahrens a establishment. He is looked up
on by all who have made his acquaintance,
as a gentleman well fitted for the position,
rind his well-known 11.11n:testy, and executive
ability, are sure guaninties that the -inter
est ti of the. Government will be sharply look
ed after during his administration.
Many of your readers will be glad to know
that Emil HOLCOMB, formerly - of Bradford,
has been appointed Deputy Surveyor by Mr.
GOODRICH. Mr. H. was a clerk in the office
under Hon. E. B. Myna, and was superseded
by a "Johnson man " some two years since.
The Custom House• officials are engaged
in investigating the cargo of a Havana
steamer, which arrived-here on Sunday last,
and is said to have on board a large amount
of " smuggled " goods.
I took a stroll through the Philadelphia
Post Office this morning. It is one of the
best regulated offices in the United States.
Everything is reduced to a system, and the
mails are received, distributed, and dis
patched with less bustle and excitement
than is witnessed often at the' Towanda of
fice, although there are' between two hun
dred and three hundred clerks employed.
The Postmaster is a young man . who was
formerly a clerk in the office. He was ap
pointed two years since, and his adminis
tration of the affairs of the office 'were so
satisfactory to the people of Philadelphia,
that there was no opposition to his re-ap
pointment by President Gnswr. The Su
perintendent of Mails in the office is one.of
themost gentlemanly' and pleasant officers
I have ever met. He apparently makes the
interests of the country receiving mails
through the Philadelphia office his' chief
business. and leave's no'experiment untried
which promises facility in the delivery or
mail matter to the different offices through
out the State. I •
Boxes in the office rent at $l2 per annum!

is in possessing the beat hotel, and the finest

it was advocated with great ability
by him. .
HARRISBURG, MAY 13.—Judg/ Pier
son, this morning, sitting in the Court
of Common Pleas for the decision of
Commonwealth cases, decided two
suits of general interest. Tile cases
were against the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western .Railroad Com
pany, and the Lackawanna and
Bloomsburg Railroad Company. The
claim of the companies was that
their bonds, on which a tax was im
posed, were mostly held by' residents
of New York and other States, and
that Pennsylvania could not tax the
property of citizens of other States.
The Court decided' that if the roper
ty was protected by Pennsylvania, it
should be made to pay its share of
taxation. Judgement -was rendered
against the 'former company for $22,-
000 aid ; against the later company
for $24;000.
mi. When the four Harper broth
ers, of New York, formed their part
nerithip, they agreed that no- eon of
them should be•admitted into it while
the firm lasted. By the recent .death
of James, the firm is dissolved and
the- numerous young Harpers who
have been waiting in' the position of
salaried clerks will doubtless be ta
ken into the campany,when the great
house id - again reconstructed.
