TIER CIVIL SERVICE BILL.
The proposed Civil Service Bill Involves a
reform of such a sweeping character that it is
likely to meet not only with a sturdy oppo-
sitionifom the army of incompetent office-
holders who would be affected by it, but also
with the honest criticism of many who have
not seriously considered it, and are,therefore,
not prepared for such an important change
ko our system. And yet, all good men are
likely to agree that we need a reform that
will elevate the whole standard of the civil
service, that will give it the much-needed el
ment of permanence, and remove it from the
pernicious control of the cliques and "rings"
that now disgrace it with their intrigues and
degrade it by committing the public interests
to men who have made the word "offica
holder" odious in the sight of the people.
There is no good reason why the civil
service of this country should be administered
on an- different principle from that which
governs men in all their private business re
lations. Competitive examination, perms-
sent employment, promotion for merit, are
the recognized principles upon which busi
ness men and corporate bodies conduct Iheir

he is considered worth keeping, and when a

Service Bill.
a ' corporation,
take to conduct its affairs finer
the fashion of our municipal, State or
National Governments, would go into bank
ruptcy in a very short time.
This practical view of the important
returm which is proposed in the CiviLSer--
vice Bill should override all the opposition
and clamor of that inferior class of politicians
who would alone be the losers by its opera
tions. The details of Mr. Jenckes's bill may
or may not be perfect and practicable; but the
fundamental principles of it are of vital im
portance to the future stability and prosper
ity of the Government. If these principles
can once be fairly applied to the national
civil service, they will soon work down into
the State and municipal Governments, and
an incalculable benefit will be conferred upon
the entire country.
Our present system has been thoroughly
tested. Ignorance, assurance, insolent pre
tension, gross incompetence, unblushing cor
ruption, everywhere drive honesty, respect
ability and educated efficiency to the wall.
The system corrupts the people while it robs
them of millions every year. There is no
single philosophical reason for the ridiculous
theory which over-turns the whole civil ser
vice every two or three years, while there are
legions of the best reasons against it. And
what is true of the country at large,is equally
true of our domestic affairs. In the
administration of the government of
Philadelphia, what can be more ab
surd than that the whole police force
of the city should be disorganized every
three years? A police officer should be an
experienced, drilled, trained man, dependent
upon nothing but his own usefulness and
good behavior for the security of his position.
Even the duties of a mere patrolman are not
learned in a day; in very many cases, under
the present system, they are never learned.
And in the more difficult branch of the de
tcetive service, no amount of native shrewd
ness or'courage will compensate for that ex
perience and anowledge of crime and crimi
nals which come from long service. The
police of America, generally, as compared
with that of London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna
er Ressia, is beneath contempt, although it
comprises material second to none in the world
for its natural capabilities. And in fifty years
we have made no essential advance. We
have better men and more of them; better
clothed, housed and organized. But for the
actual requirements of society, it is hard to
say that there has been any marked improve
ment for two generations past.
The Civil Service Bill does not propose to
regulate such matters as the police. Bat it
lays down a general principle which, ()nee
; adopted, will rapidly force itself, by virtue of
own merit, into all branches of our public
&fairs. The whole subject is one that should
lie thoroughly considered by the American
people. It is one of universal interest.

The heart - Of Geherra Grant islo the work,
and the hearts of the Teeple go with him.
There is a real and earnest daire to see the
standard of. office eleVated,in ail its grades;
and it will•be &grand spectacle for the whole
world it. Congress will thus lay the axe at the
root of the Upas tree of official corruption
and miserable inefficiency. If Congress will
do this, the sturdy arm of Ulysses S. Grant
will wield the instrument with a hearty good
will, and the country will breathe the freer,
as it feels itself being rid of the burden and
curse Of oir present wretched system of of
fice-hunting and office-giving.
BA 1 1 / 4 IA is , PIRO am 01141 Et &WE.
General Banks has offered a resolution in
the House of Representatives, authorizing the
President to extend to the people of Hayti
and San Domingo the protection of the
United States, for the purpose of assisting
them, ih forming Tern:faint:it republican Insti
tutions. What the precise form of the pro--
tectorate is to be we do' notknow; nor is it
quite possible to perceive how the United
States government can assume any such re
lation with the West Indian republics, with
advantage to either party. It would be an
exceedingly good thing if- an arrangement
could be made by which a stable government
of some kind could be assured to the people
of the island; and the petty watt, in which
there is much banging of guns and manom
vring of forces, without bloodahed, brought
to a permanent conclusion. But can the United
ales effect this object by playing the part
of protector ? In.that character, we should
have either to act
_as -referee
_in the fight
between the factions; or govern the island in
some manner as Wiido our territories; .iirr else
by force compel the people to quit quarrel- ,
lug. In the first event it is very likely that
onr good advice would be rejected by the
party that chanced to be in power when it
was offered. Wise counsel finds readier ac
ceptance with those who are compelled to be
virtuous because they have not a chance to
be wicked. An attempt on our part to inter
fere in an authoritative manner in Haytien
affairs, as we would in the case of one of our
own territories, would be certain to excite
angry opposition and to cause indignant, re
jection of our counsel and denial of our right.
Forcible intervention would be a very effec
tual method of overthrowing rival leaders and
agitators, but it would not be at all popular
either in Hayti or the 'United States.
One of the wisest maxims of this Govern
ment in times past, was, that it is always
judicious to mind our own business, and le t
our neighbors alone. Excepting when it is
necessary to vindicate that other American
theory, known as the Monroe doctrine, this
principle may still be adhered to profitably.
If we should undertake to settle the senseless
and almost unintelligible quarrels which agi-
tate Hayti and San Domingo, we should
establish a precedent which might reasonably
lead us to intermeddle in all the small revolu
tions with which the southern part of this
continent is disturbed. Cuba needs attention
as much as Hayti; Mexico is torn and dis
tracted with insurrections; Paraguay and its
neighbors are desperately engaged; Panama
gets up a fresh revolution every fortnight;
and halt' the governments in South
America are subjected to periodical
overthrow. We shall have our hands
full, and be very likely to become
entangled in quarrels, if we attempt to play
peacemaker whenever opportunity offers.
Besides all this, we had much better attend ,
more diligently to the work of reconstruction
at home, before trying our 'prentice hands
upon other governments. We have had
about enough to do to protect our own peo
ple of late, and there is much to be accom
plished yet before we can regard our labors
with complete satisfaction. Taere is open
rebellion in Arkansas; there are several States
which need reorgauizati m into purely Re
publican forms, quite as badly as Hayti and
Ban Domingo do; there are negro insurrec
tions in various places in the South, caused
by the rascality of white American citizens;
Texas is overrun with outlaws and murder
ers; the Ku-Klux reign supreme in many sec
tions of the South; and in a still larger num
ber of localities there is neither free speech,
protection for the lives and property of loyal
men, nor anything like equal justice for
blacks in the courts.
Considering the situation .at home, we
think the assumption of any foreign respon
'Ability ill-advised and foolish. If the people
of Hayti and San Domingo simply want ad
vice, it will be kind and courteous to give it
to them upon every requisition. Bat this
will not make a protectorate necessary. The
beat counsel they can receive at present will
be that they quit fighting and go to work.
Special legislation is not necessary to furnish
this. They can obtain it from any sensible
private individual merely for the asking.
James Haggerty, Esq.,failing to break jail,
was bailed out yesterday afternoon, amid the
enthusiastic congratulations of hia numerous
friends, and has gone on his• way rejoicing.
The bearing yesterday merely fastened one
shooting, two stabbings,two woman-beatings
and a Jew other trifling offences on the honor
able James, and there was not the slightest
difficulty in getting any amount of bail for
this honorable gentleman. The partictilar
citizen who secured the honor was one Hugh
MeAuany, or McAnally, reported to have
achieved wealth in the honest profession of a
boss draywan.
Our Haggerty is therefore at large again.
He has his liberty. "What will he do with
it?" But a more important question is :
Where are the bills of indictment against
Haggerty and his comrades? Have they been
sent to the Grand Jury ? if they have not, the
public ought to know the reason why. We
understand that no steps have yet been taken
by the District Attorney to indict these men,
and that the failure to send in the bills to the
Grand Jury is all that stands in the way of
the speedy trial and conviction of these ,
high
handed trespassers upon public decency and
1 safety. We honestly do not believe that Mr.
Bbeppard is 'in any way complicated with
these men; - but they * arc and infla---

The steamer Ellen 8. Terry, Captain William

miles south of Cape Henry light. One of them
had all sails set, and looked as if she bad
just gone ashore. The other had her sails
clewed up apd was full of water, while the sea
was breaking over her deck. The Captain could
not ascertain the names of the vessels, nor any
partieulare concerning them, and the sea was
'inning so blgia that ho could afford them no
assistance. Assistance from Norfolk will be seat
thin as soon as the storm abates.
A light brig, which was bound for Norfolk, ran
aground in the Roads on the lista above the Rip-

Pichilinene, adjacent to thte . port ,. baving arrived
at I bet ~.destination, it 'Wail'ltina• that her
??.aptain failed to bring a' , Mexican = Want-••
;fest properly certified, to by .;,the Mexi
can consul. The ' consequence was that
,the ship was not.permitted te-unload upon art'.
val, and not until fourdayet afterwards could any
agreement be entered ibto witti regard to the
matter. Then after mueb debate and a great
deal of trouble it. was agreed, that a discharge
could be effeeted by the American consul at this
place Colonel 'Elmer, and the captain `of , the
I wage! entering into bends for' a flee of $2400,, -'
which the territorial authorities imposed for want ,
oft the Mexican-consulate manifest. The gen
tlemen entered ' bonds to the amount,` ant
under protest, feeling, that the' general govern
ment at the city, of Mexico , would not sanction ,
anysuch outrage: - The Harriman for 'thetinie
being is a United States transport and did 'not
sail
to touch at any Mexican'port,but purely And
simply to discharge her freight. (taketi from a
United States navy deticitYat the coaling =station
of Pichilinire. But even ' when the ship 'was
ready to discharge" ' the cargadores or,
dock laborers struck . foi;' 'higher wage's
and demanded double the pay they re
ceive on ' , other occasions : This, of cotirse,
causes great delay, and the probabilities are that
our government will , have presented to it a nice
little bill by the owners of the Harriman for a se
rious loss of, time not included in the contract.
tutu another feature of the style of doing bust
netts here, and illustrating the captious spirit of
the local authorities, may be seen by the
tedlinidar mode through which the powers that
be . sought to impose municipal, commercial
and other duties on the ship. Some acute
official observed that there were some Caine
men on board, andforthwith reported the dis
covery to his superiors. Then an account was
made out of duties for the above purposes on the
ground that Chinamen Were taxable property, or
seine other absurd theory. Consul Elmer, how
ever, argued the authorities out of such prepos
terous claims, and disposed of this technicality
We cannot say when the ship will get through
dlicharging, as the dock laborers are masters of
the situation. They will not work unless they get
double pay, and.will not let outsiders work, as
they gild= to have a franchise or monopoly
for all such little jobs. With regard to the
$2,000 of fine imposed, it is probable that,the
authorities at Washington will consider it worth
while to inform "Minister Rosecrana of the mat
ter. If the error of the naval authorities at
Philadelphia in forgetting to give the ship a
Mexican consular manifest was an oversight said
authorities should be severely reprimanded, for
unless there Is caution ID smaller affairs of
government, we cannot expect, it in
the greater and more complicated
business; but if, on the other hand, no such
document was really necessary under such
circumstances, then our government should de
mand satisfaction of the Meilcan authorities for
such contemptible petty dealing. Our commerce
cannot be insulted and our merchantmen liable to.
be treated as pirate shipsjust because tt may snit
the fancy of eome ignorant official temporarily
in power.
With regard to other affairs iti this Territory it
is the came old story of dull times and just living
along, waiting, hoping and praying for better
days.
An Odd Fish Caught In a Detective's
[From the Hamilton (Ontario) Times, Jan. 7.1
The party giving his name as Joseph Woods,
who was arrested here on the 28th nit., on ens
picion of being the murderer Smith, for whom a
large reward is offered, turns out to be a rascal
of another dye, and given to a more respectable
end fashionable order of crime than foul mur
der. As before mentioned, he gave contradic
tory accounts of his travels for the past two or
three months, which circumstance strength
ened the suspicions of the police authorities
here that uhe was not the culprit for whom he
was arreeted,he must be some other criminal who
had fled from the United States to escape the
penalty of Justice, and hence his detention until
his Identity could be satisfactorily determined.
Yeeterday be questioned the Chief of Police con
cerning the various crimes which would render
one liable to extradition under the treaty, and
seemed to gain information satisfactory to
himself, as he was on the point of wak
ing disclosures, when ho finally thought
proper to delay any admissions until after con
sulting his counsel. This forenoon the Chief of
Police received answer to a letter of inquiry sent
to the Mayor of Canton, Ohio. the prisoner hav
ing named that city as hie last place of residence,
and given the names of various parties whom he
claimed as relatives. The Mayor bad visited
such parties, who repudiated relationship,
but stated that they knew a person answer
ing the description given, who- had been in
Canton some time since; that his name was
Joseph Woods Day, and that he belonged in Wit
miteton, Del. It was also added that be was be
lieved to be insane. This piece of information
and the repudiation of the relationship may have
been from motives rendered obvious by a
despatch received this afternoon from the Chief
of the Police Department of Philadelphia, to
this effect :
"Chief ‘!1 Police Hock Hamilton: The prisoner
you have In custody is Joseph Woods Day, de
faulting Cashier of the Bank of Delaware, at
Wilmington. The bank is fully secured, and he
Is not wanted."

W Rn s arPAY, Jan. 13, 180.—The money market to per
ceptibly eery to day, and is steadily recovering its former
statue, though the demand was quite active for tempo
rary ace ommodation. The supply, however, was more
than nufficient for calla, :slick prevented rates from as
cending it to very probable that efforts will be made by
the • bulb , " to create a stringency in money circles, with a
view of keeping up the present rates for loans. In fact
such attempts were made yesterday in New York, and
may be made here, but the abundance of canital will
limit the effect of such proceedings to a few hours. Bor.
rowers are often, themselves, responsible for this "bull"
moyement by postponing their transactions until late in
the day and which, by creating at; active demand for
cash for the heur, afford an oppor
t;.nitY j to the "bull" eliqueie to plead poverty
an exact increased rates. This May be often
avoided by accepting the terms of the market early in the
day instead of waiting, aa many do, until two P 111. in
the hope of obtaining more favorable terms. Naivith
intending the activity of the market,good borrowers found
no diflicrlty in obtainbag loans to any amount atyester
day's quotations . Call loans; on government bonds were
negotiated at 5®6 per cent., and 80734 par cent, on mid•
cellaneous securities. There were considerable amounts
of paper transactions outside at rates ranging from 709
per cent for A 1 names.
Business at the Snack Board tide morning was decidedly
more active, and prices had an upward tendency. ele
ven:meet and State Loans were steady. City Sixes were
stopper; sales of the new certificates at 1914. There was
a good inquiry for Reading Railroad, which sold up to
47%—an advance of 34; Prima. Railroad was dull at 56;
129 was hid for Camden and Amboy Railroad, 384 for
Catawisea Preferred: 55 for Mine HILL and 264 for Phlla
d.lphi IL and Erie Railroad.
Car al stocks were in better demand. Sales of Lehigh

JAN. 12.—1 f congress is desirous of, strengthening gov ,

tion declarieg the principal of, the Beet wenty .bonds - to

that the principal of the bonds lIS payable in gold is im-
portant at the p resat time. The bonds must
be at par in sold before the resumption and maintenance
of specie payments can be made, therefore everything
Lbw tends to advance the price of government bonds is
really an advance on the road to specie payments. the
pans ge .f Senator Edmunds's reeolution is practically' a
movement in the direction of the resumption of .p-cie
payments. It is understood that most of the leading

Sybil.' on this eubject of Government credit, it le matter
for regret that the resteury Department still combines to

bee ded debt ought to have been declared clo ed officially,
and not one dollar more of gold interest bonds ought ever
to have been paced on the market by government after
that date. As the Secretary of the Treasury has failed

in hand, end pass an act definitely crrahltittingtheisinef -
of any more gold interest bonds. This would give confi
dence to bolder., strengthen the public credit—advance

jobbers to depress the market price of government ea
cutlass, and. by one of those singular coincidences which
have been perpetually Texturing in Treasury Department
movements: since Mr. McCulloch has been in office gov
ernment finds it has at thin late day still on hand 4600 000
of bonds for sale at a. moment when some of the Treasury
Department ring of stock jobbers happen to be short of
the trends. Congress can put a atop to this notional
scandal attached to Treasury Department movements
being in exact accord with stock-jobbing schemes by
passing an act to prohibit any further be of gold inter

article; and, ssinlid , the process described in the specifi
cation by which that new article is tor...pared. In my
these are valid and mfficient claims.
The first claim secures to the inventor boned and desic
cated fish as a new article of manila tureen commerce,
by whatever process if snap he produeed. Other processes
than that claimed by Cutler may be dsvised, and may,
perhaps, be new and patentable: but the discoveter of
such new rr, eta.] tannin put th. article into the market
and sell it. If he did so
liable infringe the first claim
Cutler's patent, and b e o damages to the extent
of such infringement • and to produce this new article by
an std process applie d to other things would be etpuzlly
an infringement of Cutter's patent.
I hare no doubt the article and the process claimed in
Cutlerwpatent are now and patentable, and the patent
sufficient far their protection.

Grant and Colfax In China. and Glow
We americans Voted.
A correspondent of the San Francisco Bulletin
writes from Hankow, China, under date of• No
vember 10, that the citizens of the United States
resident at Hank ow,in accordance with a cirenlar
issued by Dr. Salttr, United States Consul at
liar how and Kinkiling, called at the Consulate
on Tuesday, November 3, and voted for Grant
and Colfax. A vote was taken on the different
American steamers then in port with the follow
mg result: On the Fire Queen, 2,886 tons. 4 for
Grant and 4 for Seymour; on the Kiang Loring.
946 tone, 2 for Grant and 3 for Seymour; on the
Tahroah. 300 tons, 4 for Grant and 2 for Sey
mour. The different dependencies of the fl
kow Consular district. viz.: Rlnkiang, Woosuc,
Wuchang and Hong Yang, all voted for Grant,
making a total of 38 for Grant and only 9 for Sey
mour.
The Americans at Hankow met on the Kiang
Loring, that is, the "River Dragon," the night of
the 3e, and selected Woodhull S. Schenck, the
Deputy Commissioner of the Imperial Maritime
Customs, and a son of Commodore Schenck, of
the United States,Navy, as chairman, and Al
phonse F. Friend secretary. The Consul was
called on ford speech,and responded Ina few brief
words, fitting and to the point. A copy was re
quested for publication, but as printing faellities
are rather limited at this poet, 1 . am unable to
bent you a copy by this mail. We were congra
tulated on our good sense In voting fur the
soldier, the patriot, and the gentleman, U. S.
Grant, and his associate, worthy in every respect,
S. Colfax - . We were told that the question of the
public credit was only second to that of our nae. ,
Ilona! existence, and a severe rebuke was ad
ministered to the agitators of both parties,
who contrive to jeopardize the national honor
and the national faith; and finally we wore
asked, having elected Grant, to bend all our
energies towards the re-cementing of our be
loved Union, making it one in fact as well
as one in name. It speaks volumes for the citi
zens of the United States resident at Hankow,
that. living es they do, seven hundred miles from
the Pacific Ocean, in the very heart of Cathay,
away from home and home influences, they
should so readily grasp the great issues of the
day, and vote so intelligibly. I came down the
river on the Plymouth Rook, 2,600 tone. Cap
tain Harmon took the vote, four for Grant and
four for Seymour. The steamer men seem to
incline to the Democratic ticket; that is probably
owing to the fact that they are mostly from the
city of New York.
The Funeral of John Minor Bono.
The streets all along the llue of the proe,aslon

Affairs in Colima—Principal Cititens
Preparing to Abandon the state—
Axeculion 01 Highway Robbers.
BAN FdANCISCO, Jan. H, 1869.—Advises from
Mt xieo give a rumor that Governor Vega, of Co
lima, bad obtained three months' leave of ab
sence to visit the interior. The Governor is rep
t( sented as exerting his influence in behalf of
n ore liberal legislation by the State Legislature.
The system of taxation lately introduced is re
garded as unsucceesfal. Most of the influential
citizens will probably abandon the State.
A new lighthouse is to be erected at Manza
nillo, to take the place of the present miserable
affair. A good wagon road is also to be built be
tween Manzanillo and Colima. The authorities
are acting vig ronsly against the highway rob
bers. Three road robbers were recently captured
and shot near Colima. Terrible land slides had
occurred in different parts of the country, in
volving considerable lose of property. Creeks
bad appealed where previously nothing but bar
ren deserts had existed. Those commotious were
attended with continuous rumblings of the earth.
A number cf citizens of Guadilaj ire had been
condemned and shot for political offences. The
affair created 111-feeling against the government
and the country seemed ripe for another revolu
tion.

Smash tip on the Pan Ilandlo Road.
The Pittsburgh Chronicle of last, evening says:
Quite a serious smash-up occurred on the Van
Handle railroad, at Cadiz Junction, two or three
nights ago, by which fourteen horses were killed
and one or two men bad very narrow. escaper
from death. A. freight train going west at a rapid
rate of speed,and when near the place mentioned,
the engine was thrown from the track in some
mintier. The sudden stopping of the engine
caused the curs to tumble up into a pretty bad
`mix," and several , of them wore more or less
smashed—, One of the ears contained fourteen
horses, all of which were killed or hurl so badly
as to make the killing of them necessary. The
caboose was ended up and thrown violently
forward, landing on, one of the wrecked
cars beside the track. The person in charge
of the horses was in the caboose, and was thrown
out by the shock. Ho fell on the wrecked car
and was caught under the bottom of the caboose
as it descended. Ella situation was discovered
and It was supposed, of course, that he was dead
but when be was extricated it was found that he
had sustained only a few slight braises. One of
the brakesmen, we understand, was also thrown
some distance, but escaped with only slight in•
juries.
