From Washington• Washington, D. 1., Jun. 20, 1870. • When I prOmised'" m re next time," dreSpeeting the Bureau , 'service, I.had not :thought of the probability, that your readers would take no interest in the . tinbject. Come to think of it, I hope that few of them are interested ; ,for, it may be said that commonly, a govern ment clerk is " the nine boles" so long as he clings 'to the place ; and this is measurably true of every class of government clerks. There is little in his cmployment, to"develope his en-: ergies, -or to keep' them active. He commonly subsides into a sort of trta chine :Excuse the-incongruity of the metaphor. Moreover; .your readers have been, and'• now are, too intent on the great movement of national 'reconstruction, •VI care 'much about spielt ortatterti.— They possibly might • be sold„out to an overshadowing railroad monopoly, for ever and ever, withqut- knowing it or even abating, If theY'suSpected it. But I must keep my promise. The • measure, commonly spoken of as Jencites' Bill, proposes .to' make the appointment aiid promotion of clerks, and'. titbit tenure of office, dependent on merit alone. And, to secure this. provides that appointments, promotions and dismissals, shall be controlled by a Board of Censors. • This looks very well as a theory; but it ismot nicely to go into practice \ery soon, • for many reasons, the most ob vious of which is, that congressmen and senators naturally incline to hold on to the chances of helping their friends; and, thewultive workers among. their constituents desire the same thing, of course; while the rest. of their con stituents are indifferent: And why should not, they hold on ? Flow can the appointing authority perform its du* ace p tab I y and intelligently, without a. sistance from them'? • Senator "rumbull, and a few others, may seem willing to forego the privi lege, because they, Are tired - of the trouble apd responsibility, or have al ready taken care of their 'friends, or have . few or none to take• care of. But these are exvePtional Instances. I f there were ranger of :► change of this kind, othi•r objections 'might, be hunted up. If the measure should be honestly carried out and become a permanent 'system, it would build up a dass—l might s .r a caste—very inconruous \, With our *le of eivilizatlon,—a .body of citizen janizaries, isolated from the common citizen, and having an intense (sprit du corps.. Being always near the center of power, it, would. exereif-e ' a bad influence, naturally a selfish one, in public . aflifirs. We have enough, already, of *such elements, in the army and navy, and in the judiciary ;' where they are tolerated for exoeptional reas ons. 'Rut we do not need a Red Tape Aristocracy. , ' It may be questioned whether ;any new. system would secure a better per formance of clerical work. Barnacles are not apt to he ambitious fOr any thing 'beyond perfunctory • service; mid the present system has always been blessed wvith enough of that class , to keep it tespectably unexcentrie.; The changes, constantly taking place through removali and appointments, are more or less grievous to thv victims; but, they are not peculiar to this ser vice ;—not so frequent, I think, in lapro portion to the nun ber of employes, as in most of the cot mon occupations, wherein capital am )loyes labor. A-re moval, is, in many cases, a real bless ing. If one i-i'zri_able and "faithful worker, it is proba de he will gain by the change. He will not need to go a begging for profitable employment.— If he is not able and faithful, he ought to be dismissed. If he has worn him self out in the service, and has not been a spendthrift, let him bo,pensioned out right., , I have a conceit, that it is right and best, \ for the party in power to employ its ONVII . friends, and thus take the whole responsibility of Administration. Each party will always have abundant good material foi clerks; and it is good for the Administration body to be ren ovated, often, with fresh accestions froimbeyond the dominion of red tape. POLARIS. MR. STANTON IN HIS SICK He sat propped 'up by pillows in the chamber where he died, his cheeks hollow, his hands attenuated, his eyes lusterless, and there was nothing to in dicate the mighty nature of the man, but the broad intellectual sphere which loomed above. The day was tempestuous ,a n d gloomy, and the wind bowled violent ly around the angles of the building.— After some conversation, we noticed this by saying; that doubtless such dis: mal noises had the effect of making him feel unusually sad. " Oh, no," he answered, " - not at elk; on the contrary, I derive a peculiar ,pleasure now In listening to the howling of the winds There was a time when it would make dreadfully nervous, and keep me .awake fcir,,hours in ,the night. • Then, there were thousands of our boys afloat on the Atlantic. coast; others were on the treacherous bosom of the Gulf; others \Sere exposed upon-the surface of the MiSlissippi, and thousands upon thousands lay drenched in camp, or shivering upon picket duty ; but"— and here the speaker's eyes exhibited reviving light and his voice strength ened into joyful volume " bat the boys are all home now ; all home now nut of the reach of the storm If , It is impossible to describe the ex quisite tenderness with which this was said or to explain the emotion which wo felt when, as he concluded, we saw a tear break from each lid and quietly roll down his cheeks. We had wit nessed the same exhibition from Mr. Stanton once.before, when he was in - the full vigor of his death, at the War Office, and it occurred in the midst'of .an impassioned description of the barbarities - which had been perpetrated by the confederates ~upon the Federal soldiers at Andersonville and Libby prisons. This , showed the heart and purpose of the man with a nobility of proof that no base slanders can affect. In' another interview at his house, Mr. Stanton spoke of the part he had taken in the last Presidential. canvass, and expressed regret that his health had broken down before he had time to do justice, through his speeches, to the main influence which had served the country io its hour of peril. Fore most among those influences he placed the loyal Tress ; 'and it had been his in.. tentipu, I* declared, to specify some of the most promising "Journalists by name.—Wilkes' the agitatin. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1870. H. B. Revels, colored. man, was re cently elected United States Senator from "lilississippi. He received a lib eral education, and is said to be of ability. Oo' Geary hq.s re-appointed Francis Jordtp, as Secretary of State ; J. M. WheatlY, Deputy Secretary; F. Carroll Brewster, Attorney General; and A. L. Russel, Adjutant General. Hon. *George G. Wright, an eminent Jurist, has been elected to the United States Senate, froth lowa. lie ‘ , lll, no doubt, take high rink in the Sen ate., His views upon one important question are as follows ; " nvoiald stand by. Protection to Homo In• dustry and Manufactures. This is part of my boyhoodW•faith, and is the conviction of my manhood; Ad this not to build up the individ ual, but protect and benefit the Million " During the progies's of the inaugural ceremonies at Harrisburg, on the 18th., the firemen of that place, finding that some negro soldiers were . assigned a Place in the procession, refused to take any part in the. display. The negro would answer well enough for a substi tute in war time, provided he could be hired cheap: in.peace, lie looks better at a distance. We congratulate -the negroes. We give elsewhere the second in augural address of Governor Geary.— He Was inaugurated ou the 18th inst., with all the display usual on such oc casions ;'and has now entered upon his second term of office. Under . his ad - ministration, the Commonwealth has had its full meaimre of prosperity; the great material Interests of her people. having xeceiVeda high, and we . hope, lasting impetus, from the demands for her coal, iron, and all her industrial manufactures which the war created, and the laws of Congress secure, are developing on every hand, and giving , to our great Commonwealth an influ ence and position among her sister Statea,,which nething else could give; •her railroads and ptlblic improvements have advanced lo a higher prosperity than has ever heretofore been attained by us, and now, perhapsjire not ex ceeded by those of any.otherState. The I 'policy of the (party having the control of State affairs, has been to foster, and encourage these, great interests, at the same time, placing upon them, the prin cipal burden of taxes, to the -relief of real estate ; and this policy has had a firm friend in Governor Geary.' The only danger is in a growing monopoly, from which we are in peril of being swallowed up by the, power of ourgreat corporations. The corruption which the Governor warns the people against, is the lever ‘1.)31 which these powerful influences in shaping our State legisla tion, will seek to enslave_ the - people; and it therefore beepmes us to scrutin ize the acts of all our agents, anelibld_ them responsible to the people Who delegate their rower lo'them, and not' , surlier a betrayal of the trust. Unless', 'the people make an example of all their corrupt agents, and soon put a stop to the system which .11,,y. Titmice -In fluences' to control the policy of suc cessive legislatures, AST it is omtorions, they do in many cases, the day is not distant when the State will cease to exist in, and reside with the people,! and will be merged in the great corpo rations and moneyed men of the Com monwealth. Here lies' the great dan-, ger ; and . the antidote is in securing: honest men to make our laws. Integ rity is of vastly more consequence than mere wisdom, and what passes -for ability-;—that is the faculty of making the people believe that one is a wise and great nian whether he is or not—and when the ,peOle learn to make it an indispensable• qualification for office, the filthy vampires of our time,,,lL, find their true places in society, and the great waste and oppression which corruption breeds,' will be prevenited and cast rover. VIRODUA. The admission of Virginia was finally settled betweet the two houses of Con gress, on the 24th of January last, by the adoption of the Senate substitute in the House, by a vote of 136 to 6k--a strictly party vote. This question has absorbed most of the time for several days, and the result was looked for, with milt* interest on all sides. The bill, as finally passed, require'p the mem4rs of the State ' Legislature to take oath that they do not come within the disqualifications of the 14th amend ment, before entering upon the duties of their office, and provides that, unless such oath be taken within 30 days from the passage of the act, the seats of all such, shall be considered vacated. The important provision, however, . is as follows : " That the State of Virginia is admitted to representation in Congress upon the following fUndamental conditions: That the Constitution IA Virginia shall never be so amended or changed as to deprive any citizens or class of citizens of the United States of the right to veto who aro entitled to vote by the constitution herein recog nized, except as a punishment for such 'tries as aro now felonies at common law, whereof ,hey shall have been duly convictilunder laws eq ally applicable to all the inhabitant of said 8 e, provided that any alteration of said constitnt , prospective in its effects, may be.mado in rega to the time and place of residence of voters ;that it shall never be lawful for the same State to * deprive any citizen of the United States, on ac count of his race, color, or previous condition of servitude, of tho right to hold office under the constitution and laws of said State, or upon arty such ground to require of him any other qualifi cation for office than such required of all other t te• eitizei a; that the Constitution of Virginia shall never BO amended or changed aA to deprive any eitize • , ,,9r class of citizens of the United tuts of the 'school - rights and privileges secured bY:Mie Constitution of the United States." We are no't of those who think these safe -guard s improper. The animus of the South is yet that of a compared peo ple, and the history of reconstruction, in our opinion, demonstrates that such restrictions may be essential to-the se curity and quietude. or the country.— We - do not believe in vengeance, at this late day, if ever ; but we hold that the representatives of the people'who car ried on, the War for the "Union, should abate no effort to put the - security of that Union beyond all peradventure.— The foolishness of "magnanimity triumph" is a crime, so long as a possi bility of danger I yet rematifs. A tight bond' .-- , tinder seal and witnessed,' is more '-effectual than any mere moral obligation, which cannot be enforced; and as a creditor, holding such--a se curity, would 6 . e foolhardy to surren— der it for one which could not•be en forced, so, we hold it to be our duty to ' do " everything for security," while we should do nothing for revenge." 10UNTY POUNCE.

AGITATOR:—Perhaps your readers would like to know some of the doings of our August Legislature, and knowing that the usual channel for gaining that information—the Daily Record—has been squelched, or in oth er words suspended, I take the priv iledge pf sending you some of the doings and sayings of that august body Solons of our commonwealth.— And let me say to begin, that the House has rarely, if ever been presided over by an abler Speaker, than the Hon. B. B. Strang from your county; order is maintained, decorum required, and a strict adherence to Parlimentary rules and proceedings. It is to be hoped that the calendar will not be swelled to the terrible dimensions of the last session, at which, about 2000 bills were intro duced and , acted upon—as such a vast amount of Legislation . will increase our Statute book and Digest to such a pondersquk4 bulk that it will require the services of the "Old one Hoss Shay" to move it about: And then to think of the amount of brain work expended there on, not to sayla waste of the talent that may some day be needed for the sup port and stay of our old commonwealth itself. • In looking at the 100 faces in the House, one observes many changes since last winter; but a little over 30 of the old members ran trati • fv•wiaylis!- uous - among these," you r will observe the cheerful face of E. W. Davis, from the 10th Dist., Phila., who has twice been speaker, and I think, is the oldest member of the House—having been re-elected some ten terms ;—also, Alva Adaire, from the city, and C. 0. Bow man, formerly of Tioga county, and now a member from Erie Co. But take it all in all, I think the present House will not come up to' the standard of last, winter, in general in telligence. The Democrats of the House pave lost two of their best men of lase winter Mr. McCullough of Clearfield, and Playford of Fayette, but I suppose they think it fully made up in the Senate, by the addition of e. R. Buckalow. The Legislation, so ,far, has been of a-local character, only one from your county_Qassed, and that was in relation to taxes on unseated land in the Town ship of Bloss. There is no unanimity of action on the part of members on the Republican side of the House, be ing so split 'among themselves, that the Democrat will vote with the weaker party, and generally carry the point I account for it as follows : The pre vailing opinion among the members, seems , to be, to so deport themselves that they will be again re-elected, and every vote seems to look to that desired result, and every speech a eulogy upon their constituents. The Senate has passed a joint Reso lution, fixing upon the 17th day of March, as the final adjournment, and the House will probably do the same.— They can certainly enact all needful legislation ;by that time, and the only thing that will have any tendency to prolong it,' will be the pressure of Ho tel keepers. • The great topic of conversation 4ind, newspaper olloquy of late, has been in relation to the Firemen of Harrisburg, who refused to march in the procession, at the Inauguration of Gov. Geary, on account of a battalion of colored troops from Phila., having been• invited to take part in the ceremony. The fire men- are sustained in their course by the Democratic papers, and repudiated by the Republican press. Nothing is expected to result from it. The weather is very much like Spring, rain onthday and bright sunshine the next. Whether the winters have played out, by the divergence of the isothermal line, or whether the vast flame of fire, now said to be shooting from the sun towards the earth is the occasion of it, I am not prepared to Say,. In the language of the worthy Mrs. Plorson, "If such they be, let them shoot this earth toward." " X-27."
