" ' til 1. WILVtRT. -1- SlIXPyilY:, JAKUAttY 27, iS7 i Tim civil Service Dill. The last 1a. bitnoi tSmritr expresses our views on tho civil setvico bill before Congress, so nonrly Hint we transfer it to our columns. TJie ( Wrier says : ' . .. .. . "The Civil Service competition luinibug is falliag from the weight of Us own Tast dovtflopiug imperfections nnd impraclicn !b!tmc. Anil yet ifit was fully understood fyy le people it would be kicked from no rice, A sot of aristncrnticnlly-disposcd gentlemen of 'high standing,' who have no sympathy with tho people, have imitated Ihe policy of monarchical governments in this effort to fasten an oflleo-holding aris tocracy on the country, and to shut tho door of official preferment in the. faces of men of valuable practical knowledge, but who may not liavo been able to graduate willi tho classic "sheep skin." Tho move; inent is objected to because it is unconsti tutional, but the objection can be made even stronger than that it is nl war with the genius of our free and equal Institutions. It proposes to give the whole appointing power into tho hands of an irresponsible cnmniitteo with as little comprehension of the true spirit of our government as have the men advocating its adoption. Thus would all the Immense official patronage of our government full into the hands of a little coterie of self-esteemed respectables, w ho would confine appointments to their own :la.s and establish a succession of he reditary office-holders. The President elec ted by tlie people, the Representatives of the people, the people themselves, would ' have nothing to say as to the men who should be nppoiulcd to office that itnpor . taut privilege resting in the hands of such men as G. W. Cut lis, who know about ns much in regard to the actual business, prac tical, thorough-going men of the couutry, as a magpie docs of conies. It is idle to think that this so-called proposed reform cm be established in this country. It is not the disposition of our people to volun tarily surrender privilege nud power into tho hands of irresponsible committees, and ' to acknowledge their unfitness both to serve iu office aud to select their servants. lf tolf-gnvcrarocat is failure, and the people --aw not to be trusted with power, l.-t Mr. Curtis and his friends say so. But if the people are competent to select Presi dents, Senators, Congressmen, Judges, &c.t it strikes us that it is some what inconsistent to declare that their influence iu the choice of post masters, clerks, &c., is evil and not to be tolerateo. 'ri,i8 question involves a great principle which cannot De tuuiujonJ to enable Mr. Curtis aud bis friends to con trol tho appointments of the government." The Repubftean - press throughout the vountry should follow tho examplo of the Courier, and express their disapprobation of the board of "played out schoolmasters," who nro st tire diead of this civil service humbug. 'The; President cannot be blamed flbr mrryiog-out this law passed by Cou- gressj' for hi -is but skawiug that to "repeal - au obnoxious lawk to carry it intocfTect," mm expressed in' hie inaugural address.

A neighboring journal suggests that it is a t'iKUttr r surprise that it was not done long siiio ut of gratitude to his Satanic majesty for services rendered to the party. Does our uciglibor endorse that part of I ho pro : gramuie iu order to defeat Grant. We know that our opponents are growing des jicralc, and aro ready for anything, but we hardly suppose they would briug out 'Old Nick' iu person though they might willing ly support his ugoiiU, for tho Presidency.

Of these not more than ten have been In structed, and the instructions are divided among at least three candidates. The Con vention, which consists of 133 members, will meet in April or May." IfKMt v W. Okay, a prominent Repub lican has been nominated for State Senator in the 4th district. lie is said to be an ex cellent man for the position. Col. A. R. McClure, is runuing as the Reform candi-1 date. Ha is very bitter against Gen. Grant! and his clcctiou would be detrimental to his prospects ns it would be heralded as a victory against him. , We think, however, that McClure has undertaken a big job in trying to overcome the largo Republican majority in that district. - .. Brick Pomcroy, who ought to know, portrays tho democratic party as follows : "There was such a party, but it has been i optiflcd,. drugged, poisoned, emasculated, dishonored by tho very men it helped tn make, it nas retreated trom every neui sought refuge iu every hiding place sleep in every outnouse, turned its back upon principle, played witli poppies and eaten the sweet seeds, till now it has sunk to calm, passive sleep." If a republican paper had said half as much, what a row there would have been. Mn. Jamks Brooks says "the Chinese impress tho Traveler deeply by their imi tative powers, powers of endurance, and wonderful iudustry. No people work har dernot even the universal Yankee ualion. Their love of money is beyond what any other people seem to have. cry lew na tions could stand in competition withthcto If they had American education and American bravery. Mr. Brooks is a Demo crat, and his eulogy of tho Chinese. is nil the more valuable for that." Cau our neighbor of the Drmocrat, en dorse Mr. Rrooks Chinese Democracy. Piunck Alexis had a jolly timo with (icn. Sheridan in the buffalo hunt. Aided j by white hunters and Indians, a number ol the shaggy brutes were slain, which is called sport, but which would be more properly characterized as wanton cruelty. Buffalo Rill, Spotted Tail, Gen. Custer and other prominent Individuals oil the western plains participated in the hunt. Mrs. and Miss Spotted Tail gave the chivalric hun ters the light of their countenances the latter, a young lady of "sweet sixteen," exciting quite a rivalry among the "cava liers." Rut as all human things have an cud, th" hunt was terminated, aud Alexis departed for Dcuvcr, St. Louis, &c. A Heavy Bank Roiiheuy. The Tren ton Rauk, at Trcnteu, X. J., was robbed on Sunday evening, the amount stolen Iks lug estimated at 100,000. Tho burglats, five in number, . entered the bank iu the rear, it is supposed, about six o'clock. One of the watchmeu, named Ruylis, was gagged and lied in a chair, and one ot the robbers blood belorc him with a pistol, j while his confederates got into the vaults ' and rilled the boxes outaiuing private dc 1 posits. The other watchman, Severn nr- rived at the bank about half an hour later than Itaylis, and was seized the moment . he entered. A lady passed by happened . to we Severn seized, aud gave tho alarm, I wheu the people rushed into the bank and I tho robbers tied. The burglars left a large j number of tools, some heavy timbers, aud : two kegs of powder. One of the robbers ! is described ns "a very tall man, with a bald head." .The bank lost nothing. all The bill iutrotlucod in Congress on Mon- day week by lion. JiCgrand W. Peirce, of Mifmssippi, says Hiu llamxbvrij JiUtiraplt, I which iirovides f ' thu application of the i nroceoda of the) tu.H's of nubile Irirwlo. to the j gupiHirt of the public schools of the nation. is one of tho most important measures yet . nnui'nu'i it. (..woivrm- it nmvulot ti,nL I one-half of tlie moucy received for the sale ol tlie public ilomam shall be distributed nunually for the support of public schools, and the other li'ilf invested in a pertuancnt fuud of which the income only shall be ex pended for the saino purpose. All States and territories which will agree to apply donations to tlio education of their children betweeu the ages of six and sixteen, are to be eutitled to the advantages of the act. the condition of the bounty after the first year being thorough reports of attendance aiiu oiner cuucuiionai statistics, ine main tenance of schools for all children, aud such other tonus as Congress may impose. Fiftv per cent, of the allotment may be ex pended during tho first vear. and two iter cent, in each succeeding year, at the dis cretion oi tlie Mates, in tlie education oi teachers, nnd none of tho money can be s)icnt except for teachers' wages. Tho penalty for misappropriation of tho funds granted any Slate is forfeiture till the amount is made up and restored to the National fund. It is expected, and we think reasonably, by the friends of the bill. that its practicle advantages will bo two fold. It wilt prove a ereat stimulus nnd aaa'stance in the eitablishroeut of schools throughout tne country, ana it win also prevent disposal of the public lands for ,.nd unworthy purpose. It is estimated that tho amount adhually realis ed from tlie sale oi the lands is between one and one-half and two jnillions, aud in less thau fifty years, we fc.hould, under the operations of the bill, Live a national iu l.nnl fmul nf iH.-ill.000.000.

Taylor, first comptroller of the Treasury, appoin ted by Secretary Boutwell, to luako an in veBtipition into tlio conduct of the otBccrs of the United Status Mint at Philadelphia, returned to Washington Friday evening. Tho evidence taken beforo hiiu covered over nine hundred pages of manuscript, but nothing therein can be so construed as to iinpcach the honesty of the mintotllccrs. Mr. Taylor is of this opiuion, nnd will so state in ins report to the Secretary. This will be stratifying to the many friends of Ex. Gov. Pollock, at Ins om Dome tu Nor thuuibcrhind couuty, and it will coutlrm. their often expressed opinion that he is a worthy, honest, and reliable public servant It ia rumored in this city that tho lead ing Democrats have agreed upon General . S. Hancock for President, mid 11. Grata llrow., now Governor of Missouri, for Vice Pre'.ident. There seems, however, to bo a divisiou among the leaders ; some aro anx ious for tho "passive policy," aeeptiug as their caudidate sore-heads liko Chase, Grcc ly or Trumbull, or waiting "for something to turn up" after General Grant is nomina. ted at Philadelphia on the 5th of Juno next The Southern IJemocracy are beginning to discuss the question of tho Prcbidcucy. 1 tie Muuniiii i tmt calls ou tlie bouuiei'U General Joseph K.

It is not probable that General Hancock will feci complimented by this suggeittion, nor is it to be presumed (hat ho would risk his fair famo by accept ing a nomination on the same ticket with a man whoso hands are red with the blood of Union soldiers, and one who did his ut most to destroy tlie best government tliat was ever formed. Sociables nnd Receptions are given week ly by the diflere nt State Associations, which add greatly to the gaieties aud festivities of the fasl.ionablo season. 1 copy an amusing account, from ncorrespondcr.tofthe"Laii- muttr iiw;aiVrr," of the last sociable given by our State Association, and his idea of round dittoes will be refreshing to your many readers. - This correspondent is a very clever gentleman, was al one time a coal operator in Northumberland county, and is well and favorably known by many of the citizens of Suubury and Shamukin. Ho was lxahd by one of his partners, but is still alive and kicking. "The second sociable' of the Pennsyl vania Republican Association was hold on Monday evening last, and a most enjoyable affair it was. 'Fair women and brave men' of the old Kevstone crowded the spacious hall of the Masonic Templo, to the number ot at least eigne nunurcu, ana tne 'mazes of the giddy dance' were indulged in vigorously. Your correspondent was prevailed on by some friends to attend, though the 'sear aud yellow leaf has ta ken away from him the keen enioymcnt he onco experienced amidst such scenes. He was a looker-on ror an hour, However, ami if he possessed tho fine Imagination of somo of the Jenk inse who write up such things, he might furnish a racy description for the amusement of your readers. He met several Ijvncaster county menus there, lauics ana gentlemen, and in their society managed to get ntong pretty eomiortaoiy. w nat was particularly gratifying lo him wns tiie ab sence of the extensive array of dry goods among the ladles, so frequently witnessed on such occasions, i ne prevailing arest was ueat and comfortable, for which the fair ladies were commendable. True, there werv a tbw butterflies, but they were the exception, uot the rule, Jxw necks and wire arms were raoooea. lutieea, it is satu that a rule of 'Washington Society' now is, that young ladies shall not be permit ted to dress in low necks and short sleeves; It is only allowablo in ladies of forty and over. Probably the ladies can give the reason for this regulation ; I can't.

A vote was adopted almost uuauimously, only six members dissenting, nppealing to the patriotism of the l'roautoni, refusing to accept his resignation and passing to the consideration of the order of the day. . A deputation was appointed to announce to M. Thiers the action of the Assembly. A deputy subsequently moved that a committee of the Assembly be appointed to endeavor to effect a compromise with the executive, and in case of failure to consider and report to the Assembly forthwith what measures should be taken under the circumstances. All the parliamentary clubs are sending deputations to M. Thiers to dissuade him from his purpose. The deputies of tho right centre held ft meeting during the afternoon and ndopted a resolution ilucluriiiL' that the tariff was aolelv n nuustiou of liuance. not of politics. and that "in voting against the proposal to tax raw materials they had no intention of expressing want of confidence in the government," THE LATKST NEWS.

Thiers yesterday, iu reply to the : deputation of '.lie Assembly which called . upon him to notifv him of the refusal of I that body to accept his resignation, said I he wns worn out and discouraged, lie could not change his opinions and he bo- lieved that conllicts similar to tlie present one were likely to occur betweeu the legis - ' latum aim executive ueparinieuia oi ine i government whenever military or educa- I tional bills were before tlio Assembly. I Thiers further said, that while for tlie pre- sent he consented to withdraw his rcsigna- lion, tlio enu was ineviuioie, anu sooner or later he would be compelled to retire from the presidency. Marshal MacMahon also called upon Thiers yesterday, and appealed to him on behalf of the army to withdraw his resig nation. The Marshal said the army would obey the orders of tho Assembly, but would not bo controlled by a dictator ship, which was likely to follow the uncon stitutional retirement of President Thiers. ino nifuiucrs 01 mo oiuiiBiry, nt um cam-: ew y0rk (. ustoin House, lias already DC est Bolicitntion of Thiers, have resumed ft ridieulous failure.

The Buenos Ayres Stanlarl of 30th November gives further intelligence than that reported ' by telegraph of the late disastrous earthquake at Salla. On the 22d of October, at eVeron o'clock p. m., when most of tho inhabi tants of the doomed town of Oran had re tired to their houses the first shock wns felt. The greatest terror at once prevailed, nnd the cop!c rushed madly into the streets ; few had gone to bed, ns for hours before a dull, rumbling noise had been heard in the distance, and all feared that it portended some unusual catastrophe. The shocks continued at intervals for near ly nino hours, during which time forty dis tinct movements oi tnc carttt were tell. The pavement of the streets was split open now here, now there aud the lions- , cs fell in confused heaps of ruins. There is , only one death to record, that of Sr. Iteyes, ' ami some contitnions to other persons. Most of the inhabitants rushed out to the j camp after the first shock, and so saved . their lives, but tho town of Oran may bo j considered ns totally destroyed. AVk observe by the lliiladelphi.a Istnl j Intelliijrnctr,nf last week, that the Supreme Court has afiirmed tho judgment of the court below in tho case of Flowers and wife, r.i. Pennsylvania railroad company. The? case was taken up from lbanon county. Young Flowers was killed at a station on tnc raurona in iineastcr county, while in the net of assisting the engineer of a locomotive in putting wnter into tho tender, al tho request of the engineer. The court held that tlie railroad company owed no duty of protection to the boy, nnd thnt there could be no discovejiy. The case was argued in the Supreme Court by Col. Iliekey and Maj. Iteina-hl, of Ijincns ter, for tho plaintiff; and by Messrs. I.. W. II a II, North nnd Krcuuamnn for the railroad company. This is an important case, and establishes a principal of great value to railroad comimuies. Parents of boys owe such protection as to keep them , ott railways.
