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

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..

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.,

second term of office. Under . his ad

had its full meaimre of prosperity; the

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

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

the filthy vampires of our time,,,lL,

the great waste and oppression which

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."

HARRISBURG, Jan. 28th, 1870
EDITOt. 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."

Tho price charged the townships, duo., foe board
at tho County House, upon estimate of the cost
per week far each pauper, is ono dollar and nine
ty-four cents. This includes everything expend
ed upon them—food, clothing, medicine, school
ing, &c. There have been at the County House
daring the year, eighty-one paupers, and they
averaged over fifty-six during the whole year.—
A very large number were old, infirm and sickly,
needing a large amount of care and attention.—
The cost of keeping the insane at the Lunatic
Hospital at Harrisburg, was $3 per week, besides
clothing and other expenses. Tho Commission
ers have allowed partial relief to paupers outside
of the County House, on consulting with town
ship and borough officers.
The Commissioners would say there still re
mains in the hands of the Collectors moneys not
collected, and over-duo, which would reduce our
indebtedness at least twenty thousand dollars;
and if the space would permit, would publish
the names and amount.
