Erza The past year will long be remembered as one of the most eventful of the century, but while It was fraught with war, pestilence and famine, arid the almost total destruction by fire of ono of the most Important cities of the world and the .sweeping away of immense forests in the northwest, it closed upon a world pretty generally at peace and enjoying a degree of prosperity for which we have cause to be thankful. Each infliction, as it occurred, has been fully referred to In these columns, and upon entering the new year it Is more particularly our duty to remember the lessons of the past, wipe out the old slate and commence anew. 1872 has been ushered in in pretty much the same manner as the years that have passed. It finds us prosperous and with cheerful, confident hopes of the future. Perhaps it finds us, as a people, thriller ad vanced in morality—ln all departments of National, State and Municipal Government it sees efforts put forward to check venality and corruption, and prepare the way for the future years which shall bring to us the greater purity m our system of self-govern- ment. It sees the dying rule of demagogues and the healthful sign that the people will in the future govern practically as they have been doing theoretically for several decades. It hears the voice of the croaker in every place, directed against President and 711inister alike. It sees the false doctrines (it'll:rise who strike at the root of our system of labor spread broadcast over the land, but it also sees n people advancing In education and Intel lig , nee, who arc able to do their own I hiold ng and sustain those measures Sitielt Srwill maintain our prosperity and our honor and powor as a nation. In the past year our own community Las lost several prominent and beloved 'citizens, cut down in the time of their greatest useful. ness, but as a whole we have been well fa vored in health and freedom from disease. Many homes have been saddened by the grins messenger of death, but when we look at less fortunate communities we have great cause for thankfulness. Our prosperity, which was in a measure interrupted by the coal strike, has resumed its forward march and there is much reason for confidence that we shall have better times this year. Alientcwn has natural advantages to make it a great trade centre. Our old whoh sale establishments have in creased their trade the past year and new ones have entered the field. Our boot and shoe manufactories have grown in importance and their success warrants the belief that manufactories In other lines will spring up and prosper. Our great staple—iron—goes on adding to our wealth, and even here there is room to Increase the number of labor-giving establishments. We probably have enough companies engaged in converting the raw material into iron—possessing, as they do, energy and capital sulEcient to extend their works as the trade demands; but here, where the iron can be bought without the cost of transportation, it seems proper that refined iron in all shapes and for every use should be manufactured. We want nail mills, stove works, manufactories of hardware end all the articles of which iron forms the gunk' . part. Labor can be obtained here as cheaply as almost anywhere else In this country, the cost of living is low—and when we commence re fining Iron more extensively-we w ill com me nee fulfilling the laws of economy whet will ensure us still greater prosperity. We, as a community, can no more afford to soma our pig iron hundreds of miles away and then *buy it back again refined, than America can afford to send her wool and cotton to Engtind and have it returned after it is made into cloths and sheeting. These are subjects to think about on the New Year and to en. denvor to reform. Our Board of Trade has been successfully Inaugurated and let us hope that its influence will be used to help us along In this respect, not only in directing home enterprise In this direction, but also in in viting outside capital to come here f t invest ment. TILE LATE DR. 1111ECIIENIZI11GI Rev. Dr. Robert J. Breckenridge, wits died at Danville Ky., on Wednesday, was the ant of John Breckenridge, Attorney General un der Jefferson. After graduating at Cni.)n College in 1810 he prepared for the bar, and practiced law in Kentucky for eight years from 1823, being in that period several times a member of the Stale Legislature. lie was ordianed pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Baltimore in 1832, in which position he remained 13 years, and rose to eminence by his eloquence and zeal as a preacher. In 1845 he was elected President of Jefferson College, Pennsylvania, where he remained two years, at the same time being pastor of the church' in the neighboring village. Ile next removed to Kentucky, assumed the pas torate of the First Presbyterian Church . in Lexington, and became Superintendent of Public Instruction for the State. In 1833, he resigned these charges, having been elected, by the General Assembly, Professor of The ology In the then newly-established Seminary at Danville, Ky. While in Baltimore he edited the Literary and Religion) Mtigazine and the "Spirit of the Nineteenth Century," and in his discussions with the Roman Catho lics gave evidence of the extent of his know ledge of church history and systematic the ology. In the General Assembly of the Pres. byterlan Church,in which he often had a seat, he exerted a powerful influence. During the controversies which led to the disruption of the Church-Into old and•new schools, lie was conservative in his views, and endeavored to remove asperity front the contest. Ile was the principal author of the common school system of Kentucky, and advanced the-pros perity of the Danville Theological Seminary, by his connection with it. In the anti-Slavery discussion he did- not favor extreme opinions on either side, and for his kind services to the free blacks of .Maryland on one occasion he received a piece of gold plate as a present front more than 1,000 of them. Ik published two volumes of "Travels la Europe" in 1839, and, beside a great number of tracts, essays, and letters, published an important work 4)11 the ology In 1837. When the Rebellion broke out he sympathized with the Union came, and denounced 1118 nephew, JOllll C. Breck enridge, ex-Vice-President of the United States, for joining the Rebels. Dr. Brecken ridge was temporary president of the %peli can convention which meet at Baltimore in 1804 and renominated President Lincoln. Ills personal, social and moral influence was always strongly thrown In favor of loyalty to the General Government. THE Governor's message was all ready,Mou day evening, for delivery to the Legislature to day and in order to accommodate the press In advance by request the Governor had five hundred copies of it printed on one side of large sheets of paper. Ono part of the message will be unusually lateresting, treating as it will of the greht mineral and other natural wealth of Pennsyl vania, as contrasted with the not more im portant commercial prosperity converging at New York. As the Governor did not want to have all of his message anticipated be was reticent upon the other part of it. STATE Tlu MACKEY has reimbursed the Siete for $165,840 of State funds which :was deposited with O. T. Yerkes, Jr., of Phllndel• pain at the time of his fallnro ' Mr. Mackey has now filed a petition for the bankruptcy of Terkel'. CIVIL REFORM. There is universal talk and comment upon the plan proposed by Mr. George W. Curtis and others for the reform of the civil ,service, and the gemmed drift of the newspaperart ides and other utterances which the proposed plan has called out Is' in commendation of the sys tem. There are two things which need to be guarded against in the matter of government officials ; one of these two things is the liabil ity of improper and unfit appointments to office, and the other is the constant danger of removal. Mr. Curtis' plan grapples vigorous ly with the first of these difficulties, and the new system abounds in safe guardS against improper appointments. Whether or not the adoption of competitive examinations will re-• suit in all the practical benefits Which are ex• peeled from it may lie doubted, but there can be no question tint it will he au improvement over the present method of using official ap pointments to strengthen the political position of Menthes.; or Congress. It is doe to the country that tl.c eflielil positions under the Government bitould be tilled by the best avail able men, but as long as appointments are parcelled out as a reward for political wire pulling it is only by accident tint good men are appointed. 'flit gut:ilium: of merit anal efficiency have too long been minor conoidera tions when ollices were, to be disposed of, and it Is high tinie that there should he a change in this respect. If the rules niti down by 'Mr. Curtis and his assr.cintta are carried out there eicrtainly will be a marked improvement in the character of the officers appointed, and to secure this he provement is one of the pressing and vital la cessities of civil reform. But when II giaul 111101 hits been appointed to till an official position it is th sintide that he should be retained in his place, and it sects toils that it is as necessary to provide against removals for insufficient causes es it is to secure a better class of appointments. The num who hold Government positions by appointment have literally no tenure of office, bir they arc sub ject to removal any day at the whim or con venience of their suptaiors. An officer in the New York Custom /I.ollbe was (nice asked by a friend why he did not come to see him olt ener, and the reply was, "I do not dare to leave my desk, even on a leave of absence for a day, lest I should find another man In my place when I return." Until there is sonic permanence in these appointments it will be impossible for men to do their best In master ing the duties of their positions, and this point is of at least cqu tl importance with the other. When only good and competent men are ap pointed to office, and When they can feel rea sonably' sure of retaining their places us long as they arc honest and efficient, there can be no doubt that the civil service will be 'pitch better carried on than itrdcr the present sys tem. There is universal complaint among the Government clerks in regard to the uncertain 'tenure of their positions, and there is certainly . force in the complaint. It is not desirable that we should have an aristocracy of office holders altogether lath-pendent of the appointing pow er, lint it certainly is desirable that honesty and efficiency should go f,ir something. 'I his view of the case is presented with considerable force by a 'l're isury clerk at, .Washington, whose views are thus reported in a Washington dispatch : " Neat to political influence in controlling up pointmt nts, the greatest evil connected with the Civil 9m . \ ice is the tine, rtain tenure of office. No man knows Hutt lie may not any day find a yellow t nvelope on his di it note inside saving, ' Your services me co longer requited.' lie may be honest_ e mid experienced. but he to be dis• charged without cause awl without wonting in the same formula of words that is used in 131133 tEstilissinLf: a rascal Ivho accep's brila or a 'l\ ill) is drunk all the that.. 1 linow that the Conuntss'.on think that indi rectly tholr plan \VIII 11;.11,c a lolly secure tenure ot kW- eal.abil . 0114:1,11S.

A Sler, can :t I Issues' his iroll. ties are not agreeable In the powers that be just as well when the new system gets to working as now. 'free, it would not be known who would be his successor, but this would make no difference. The fact that removals could he made o'n :lemma of objectionable politics would mato , all ollicials - assul.F., rvb•nt, pelilic ally, to their :lip. rlors Si Ir. pi , s-i,s,l the power of removal as at present, and the Gov ernment departments would ho just as much political machines as they now are. What we want is a proltffiition against removal without cause. Lit the Advisory Board that is to ry the workines of the sew system bare the power of juding of the sollicieney of al leged causes for removal. When a (dell: or other official is dismissed, if he believes that his dismissal WIIS made without good reason, give him the right to appeal to the Board, and let the Board require of the officer who made the removal that he shall specify the reasons for Lis action, :nut prove their validity. Men removed for worthlessness or misconduct would never ask to come before the Board, and probably-few cases would ever conic be fore it,. because if it was given this appellate jurisdiction heads or departments, and other officers having the power of removal, would exercise it w ith 'proper motives for the good of the service alone." The importance of this whole subject Is well deserving of the most careful :tad thoughtful consideration, and ice !sie g lad to see public attention so generally turned toward it at present. The agitation of the subject will unquestionably result in good, and we shall ultimately have solid and substantial civil reform.

What the proposition was is not known to others than those immediately concerned. At 1 o'clock Richard Tweed and William M.

SPECIE PAYMENT.—The price of gold has lately fallen to 10 4 1, lower than at any time since June 26, 1862, nearly 10 years ago, and it is likely to be forced still lower by the pay ment of the 5 20 bonds laSt called in by Mr. Boutwell, so that •we may find ourselves on the verge of specie payments almost before we know it. It is almost exactly 10 years since goV began to command a premium, thong:, only seven since the close of the war. Great Britain resumed specie payments in 1823, eight years after the close of the great Napoleonic wars in which she suspended The Adminis• tration must see to It that our greenbacks are at par in gold before the eight years expire. A good step to take just after the holidays, would lie for Congress to pass Mr. Sumner's bill and resume specie payments by contract ing the currency at the rate of $10,000,000 a month. The Financial Bulletin estimates that when Mr. Boutwell has paid off the $40,- 000,000 bonds of 1862, on the 20th of Mardi next, he will have lowered his specie reserve only by $14,000,000, although $32,000,000 of the whole amount will go to Europe in gold and silver, as the Bulletin conjectures.— Springfield Republican.

Judge Bar nard, yesterday, decided that the defendant Connolly could be bailed in the sum of $l,OOO each on the fifteen criminal indictments. This may be justice and equity ; but it is too much like the New York variety of those articles for ready acceptance.

INCIDENT ON WINTER TRAVEL AT THE WEs . r.—The buffaloes were very much dis commoded by the late terrible snowstorm on the Pacific railroad. While one train of cars was embedded in the snow these animals gathered to the lee side for shelter. A corres pondent says: " 'filmy one felt disposed he might, from his seat in the car, pop them over with his revolver—the rest would not move— they could not be driven away by engine whistling or human voice, but crowded their shaggy sides close up to the cars and there stood with bowed herds for the taorm lo pass. Many were seen to Atli down In their tracioj, dead from the cold, And when at last the train was dug cut and moved off, the track was lined with these huge, shaggy, frozen carcas ses."
