TLe President, in Lis message, accom panied by the report of the civil service commission, to the UoMte juat before the holiday receM, impresses the reader with the belief that lie is htttrtiry in, favor of civil service reform. " lie accepts "and adnntR all nf- tlip rules framed and rennrt cd by the comu.Usiouers. It will be amusing to see the gentlemen in Congress who berated the President for not doinc .nmpthin. W ri.il rv!,. fnrm. ri to emlain" how it comes that he is. after all that has ben wid. atill the foremost man in the civil, service reform move- ment By the adoption of the rules of the commission the disgraceful scrambles at the White House for the appointment to office is almost entirely removed. In each of the departments of .the Goveriimcnt a commission will be appointed, whose duty it will be to examine into the character, health, and age of the applicant for of fice iu the civil service, and also as to hi qualification in speaking, reading and writing the Ei)gli-b language ; excepting the following officers, who will be ap pointed, without an examination,. by the President : the heads of departments, as sistant secretaries of departments, assist ant attorney-geueral and assistant post master general, solicitor general, solicitor of the trearnry, naval solicitor, solicitor of internal revenue, examiner of claims in the State Department, treasurer of the United States, register of the Treasury, first and second controllers of the Trea sury, judges of the United States courts, district attorneys, private secretary of the Presideut, srulaejadora aud other public ministers, superintendent of the coast survey, director of the mint, gov ernors of Territories, special commission ers, special counsel of visiting aud exam ining board?, persons appointed to posi tions without compensation for their scr vices, despatch agents and bearers of despatches, and postmaster whose annual salary is less than two hundred dollars. The heads of departments at Wash ington commenced the adoption of the rules on the first of the new year. Mr. Hoar's Labor and Capital Hill. Mr. Hoar's bill on the question of la "or and capital passed tuei.ower House 1 . . . I of Congress ou the 2Gih of December. ' leas Ui, nays J(. Ur the nays 0 . v ; were Democrats aud G Republicans Thirteen of those who voted agaiust the bill were northern men. The balance 17, were southern men. The bill passed reads a. follows : A Bill to provide for the appoiutoient of a commission on the sui jctof wa ges and hours of labor and capital, in the United States. Be it emtfl, d Ly lie S' nale and Iloiisr, tif Ripresfvlat'trt il the L'nitcd States if Amtrica, in Congr s assembled.

Sec 2. That said commissioners shall receive an annual salary of S5.000 each, shall bn authorized to employ a clerk. and shall renort the result of their inveg- tigation to the President, to be by him transmitted to Congress. Mr. Sumner proposes an amendment . . . . i ii i 1 1 .i r'' that no citizen shall hold the office ofi President more than once ! however, propose that the amendment shall prevent the re election of any one to that office next fall, who once before had been President. The amendment shall only affect Presidential elections that are to follow that of 1S72. It will be seen and understood at a glance, that Mr. "Sumner is not aiming at President Grant. He does not frame his general law for a special case. If the Senator had shown' a disposition to affect the impending election, he certainly would find few to advocate the amend ment. As the proposal stands to-day, it j is honorable ; if it should, in its legislative j i course, assume any other form, it should j be defeated. Ix regard to the reports of the finan cial condition of South Carolina, circula- ted some time ago, the following despatch dated Columbia, December 25Ub, gives imormation: i ne report ot me negioia- ; .- . . j .. .. re -.. ; tivn .Inint I n vp i irat i n r I jommittee.

The pay ment of the contingent liability, incurred by railroad indorsements, swells total to nearly $29,000,000. Sidney E. Morse, the founder of the New York OStcrrcr, died last week. Kererdj Johnson on the Enkhtt Elan in Sonth Carolina. Reverdy Jobnaon, of Slarylutd, of whoar every reading man baa beard, and who was counsel for certain Members of tne Koklax KJan, arrested and put up on trial recently in South Carolina,' de I livered himself as follows, on the out j raSe8 of lbat organiiion : j "X l,ave Iwtened with Lorror lo BOme I ! of tLe lest.mony which has been brought , before 7oa Tte outrages proved have I beeD locking to humanity ; they admit neither of tyMcUlMM nor excuse ; they violate every obligation which law an nature. impost upon men These men appear to have beeu alike insensible to the obligations of humauity aud religion. but the' day will come, however, if it has not already arrived, when they will deep ly lament it. Even if justice should not overtake them, there is another tribunal from which . there ia no escape. It is their own conscience, that tribunal which Bits in the breast of every living man, and that still email voice that thrills through the heart, aud as it speaks gives happiuess or torture the voice of con science the voice of God. And" if it has not already spoken to them in tones which have waked them np in the enor mity of their conduct. I trust in the mer cy of heaven that a voice will speak be fore they shall be called to the dread tri bunal to account for their transactions in this world " Will the Democracy repudiate Mr. Johuson aud say that be does not tell lite truth ? Woman Suffrage in Wyoming. It is known that woman has the right to vote and hold office in Wyoming. Re cently the Legislature passed a bill re pealing those rights conferred upon the ladies. Governor Campbell promptly vetoes the bill. An effort was made to pass it over tho Governor's veto, but it did not succeed, and the ladies there still enjoy the right. The following is a por tion of the Governor's veto message: ''In this Territory women have mani fested for its highest interests in devotion, strong, ardent and intelligent. They have brought to public affairs a clearness of understanding and a soundness of juagmenr. wuicn, considering tneir exclu- 3 . , i .i . . . ion bitberto from practical participation in nnYitiml !1 f 1 1 n t inn anrl mAVAmnnta m --- I C -.,..;, worthy of the greatest admiration, and above all praise. The conscience of wo man iu all things is more discriminating and sensitive than that of men; their seuse of justice not compromising or time-serving, but pure and exacting ; their love of order not spasmodic or sen timental merely, but springing from the heart. All these t!ie better conscience, the exalted sense of justice and the abid ing love of order have been mada by the enfranchisement of women to contribute to the good government and well being of our Territory. To the plain teachings of these two years I cannot close my eyes." The Democratic members of Congress strenuously insist- d that the bill of items of the expenses of the Kn Klux Com mittee should be published in full They thought it would prove a grand election eering document for their party. But they were deeply chagrined on reading the statement in the Globe on Wednes day morning. It turns out that the Democratic members of the committee put in the heaviest bills and got the most money. Mr Beck leads off with $1,- 2I'J 80; next in amount ia Mr. F. Blair, who drew $1,052 SO, and the third is Mr. Van Trump, who was paid $1,040 Senator Scott, the chairman, drew $712 SO, and the other Republican mem bers from S300 to SI ,006. It is under stood they will not make use of the state ment as proposed. Ilirrisburg Tdc iraph. TtlEV have an ugly trunk mystery iu Quebec, Canada.

They are wonderful conspirators, sometimes so mystified that we see through their effects darkly. The greatest kings, warriors aud statesmen that ever lived, have been influenced by both in some degree. Da vid, notwithstanding bis power to con -quer and role ia-hi. -great throne, ever remembered bis early affection for Jona than. He loved him as bis own soul When the news of bis death reached the good king, he cried, "I am distressed for thee ; thy love was wonderful, surpassing the love of woman." Solomon says "Many waters cannot quench love, uei ther can the floods drown it ; if a man would give the substance, of bis house for love, it would be utterly contemned Did ever one man exercise more love and power than the Reformer, Martin Luther ? Alexander and Napoleon were powerful agencies, as the world terms it, but they did not attempt to break down a government without armies. : Luther alone defied the Roman Council. .'Twas not for fame that he disobeyed the Pope's laws, for blacker clouds never whirled around one, person. lie expected to give his life a sacrifice to the cause of Christ So dear was Christ to him that when he received the summons to appear at Worms to meet the Papists in all their force and wiry doctrines,, he said his blood was what they desired, and he would meet them rather than submit to the Pope's creed. When he came near the city, a friend seut a messenger to him not to enter the city, fearing his life would be required. Luther's reply was, .i'Go, tell your master that though there should be as many devils at Worms as there are tiles upon the bouses, I would enter in." He knew bis writings were found in the Bible, and could prove it, before all Rome. Though weak, iu body, there was a power within that enabled him to withstand the fiery darts of Satan everywhere.: The love which be bad for his God, whom he served, was the fonndation of this bold ness of spirit. Napoleon, what a com parison. He bartered love for fame and the homage of this world. Luther ex pected his reward in eternity.. We know of the love that some enter tain for others ; but this is of the earth, earthy, very often. The love of God j exceeds anything we can comprehend ; 'tis the sum and substance of all happi ness here below. When Christ was questioned by a lawyer of the Pharisees, relative to the greatest commandment, his reply was, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul and with all thy mind." This is the first and great commandment, and the second is like unto it, " Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two com mandments hang all the law and the prophets." What can be more definite than this ? Love is the mainspring of life ; then comes the power to act aa the heart desires. If we love God with all our soul and mind, of course we will en deavor to obey bis precepts and conquer self. What greater power can avail as much. We are told, "He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty ; and he that ruleth bis spirit than he that taketh a city." EUREKA. An Unreported Conversation. - During the Grand Duke Alexis's walks through the Bridgeport cartridge factory the other day, be pointed to sev eral working men and inquired of Gov ernor Jewel, "Are these men what yon call the common people?" The Governor replied that they were a fair specimen of the working classes in this country. "But do yon mean to say that these get into official position I" fnrther asked the imperial scion. "Perhaps not any of these men," rejoined Governor Jewel; "but men of their class do ; they are educated men, most of them that is, they can all probably read and write, and most of them take and read the newspapers." Do yon know of any casses where such men have actually been elected to office V again qnerried the curious Alexis. "O, certainly the Governor said : "I myself worked in the shop as a tanner till I was twenty years of age ; and the announcement seemed to puzzle the Duke a good deal. Here was the Governor of a State, as well dressed and as well in appearing as himself, who had actually worked in a' shop, and this man was welcoming him in behalf of , a 100,000 voters; it was more of an enigma than the boy had ciphered on previously ; but as he goes through the country be will ascertaiu up on inquiriug, that- very many of the pub lic men here have come direct from the workshop. In Massacbuetts, where be is now visiting, Governor Claflin was a shoemaker, Senator Wilson was a cobler also, and General Banks was a machin es!. Hartford Courant- The cattle In Texas will die by thou sands in consequence of the severe winter It is computed, says the' State Journal, that the West Texas cattle iuterest has lost in stock, from the present cold snap, over $400,000 worth. By-and-by our stock raisers will comprehend that it is cheaper as well as wiser, to provide some shelter and food for cattle during the winter northers, rather than to permit decimation by cold, starvation and ex posure.

Z'phaniah Foice lives in the neighbor hood of Yardleville, Bucks county, and the barking of a dog, the other night, aroused him in time to scare off a couple of villains who had taken his best horse from the stable, and were in the act of hitching the animal in Mr. Force's light wagon.
