Jndge Caleb W. West, of Kentucky, has been nominated by the President or Governor of Utah Territorry. He is said to be well qualified for the po sition. Bishop Lyman's appointments for the Diocese of North Carolina, are, in part, as follows: May 2 1st Sunday after Easter, at Charlotte; May 4 Tuesday, St James, Iredell county; May 5 Wednesday, Christ's church, Rowan county; May 6 Thursday, p.m., Lexington ; thence eastward for the re mainder of the appointments. The Pension Bureau issued 86,847 -pension certificates for the year ending March 31, being an increase over any- previous year of 8,411. .What is known as the Mexican pen sion bill passed the House on Monday, iy a large majority. It grants a pen sion to those who served in the war with Mexico between the years of 1845-'48. The recent rains have been destruc tive to property all over the Southern States. Alabama and Mississippi have been the scene of the-greatest destruc tion. The railroads iu this State have been dam iged to some extent, the Western being the greatest sufferer, especially that part of the road west of Waynesville.

In support of this belief the opinions of -some of our strongest contemporaries are cited. The New York Star says: "In withdrawing the Educational bill A Big Suit. It is announced from Chicago, April 2d, that a suit will be commenced in the Supreme Court of the United States by the State of' Illinois against the State of Georgia, to recover $100,600 in the repudiated bonds of the latter Commonwealth. It will be remember ied that during the re-construction pe riod, after the war, the State of Georgia, while in the liands of carpet-bag thieves sent down from the north, was plunged into a debt of about 100,000,000. JWds were issued to this amounfor which she received no benefit what ever. She refused to pay them, and has ceased to recognize tliera as obliga tions entitled to respect. Illinois has come into the possession of the above sum in the bonds, and it is said will see what she can do with them. If successful other Southern States will doubtless be sued,, and a back-set to Southern prosperity will gladden 1 the public heart of that part of the Union who look with displeasure on the rapid development of the "New" South. Trouble with Ex-Aldermen. The authorities of New York have caused the arrest of four ex-Aldermen 01 loot, on ine charge or having ac cepted briber for granting the Broad Way railrwd franchise. They are Ru dolph A. Fqllgraff, William P. Kirk, Chas. B. Waite, and James Pearson. They were severally bound in heavy bonds for their appearance, and their trials will drag through after a while. - Jullgraff was under examination Mon day last, but nothing of special inter est was brought out. He had heard much scandalous talk of "boodle" (bribe money) and heard it said that this, that, and the other member of tHe Board had received, some $5,000, some $10,000, and one as much as $1,000,000. But he knew nothing about it personally, and had never seen the boodle;' though repeatedly expressed a desire to see it, if there was any such I thing about. We suppose there is some fire whorv. there is so much smoke, notwithstand ing Mr. Fullgraff seems very gniiess. WU1 the Blair Bill Pass? This question is often asked us bv many of the good people of this county. It is encouraging to find these quiet, conservative, how. tnotsv whose only interest in politics is. to secure a good home government; ft just administration of the laws Wder which they live ; honest and capable representation in State ftnd Federal affairs it is encour aging to have these men mani fest an Interest in questions of such ital importance as the one now pend ing m Congress. It shows that they comprehend the situation and are per fectly aware that the measure is pregnant with pernicious influences which may eventually seriously dis- vuro ioe tranquility of this fair land from the committee on education ami r ferrina it to the committer mi hihnr th House manifested its bower, if nothing else. The feat was accomplished by a rather narrow maioritv a mainrirv from which little as to the ultimate result may oc saieiy augured. But are not the friends nf this mnet perilous and objectionable measure count ing without their host when they assume that the vote to withdraw to. 'hill from one committee and refer it to another in dicates the strength of the bill itself? We think and hope they are. Members do uo noi vote by a common standard. There are members who would resent the deliberate smothering of a bill in com mittee, and aid in haviner it act nn promptly, who yet would" not consider themselves committed Unsanction the measure itself on its coming up for final catioB. We should counsel great moder ation of forecast in this matter. The equation is far from Immhp- i-nmnipt. It is our belief that the bill will not pass eventually. The South is not solid in its favor. The North is even more divided The leading minds of both parties have perceived the danger lurking behind the insidious mak. Every day -given to thought confirms the apprehension felt by those who are attentively considering the question. We trust we think that he tore the bill is put upon its final passage the more or less shadowy elements of distrust will have crystallized iuto con vitcion. It is impossible to accept the proposition that alt of those who have voted for the bill in the Senate reallv ap prove it in their conscience." The Wilmington Star very properly remarks that: "The vote to refer th Ttluir h;u Labor Committee showed this; that four fifths of the Northern and Border States Democrats opposed it, while every Demo crat along the coast from Washington to Texas went for the Grab with the except v-" ?f,Tut;ker- Virginia; Bennett, of North Carolina; Tillman and Dargan, of bouth Carolina; Blount, of Georgia, and Van Eaton, Mississippi. Here the iuui sianas reveaiea tbat while the North ern and border Democrats still stand squarely by the great fundamental and precious doctrine of local self-government reserved rights of States and a strict grammatical, rational interpretation of the Constitution that the Southern Rep resentatives have thrown these doctrines to the winds, have accepted the elastic, gutta-percha thcorv th every thing, have given up the only safe guards the South hasW in the days of agony ana trouble and , have agreed to accept gifts from the Greeks with all the evils and woes that shall follow.

Under the fair guise of liberty, moderation, and public integrity, it tendency, if not its purpose, is to destroy -the manhood, the outspoken courage of bluif Anglo-Saxon statesmanship, and seeks to substitute therefor a hybrid system of Pecksniffian snivel, which is to be iu our politics what cant is to true religion, what Phaaisaism is to the divine virtue of humilityl and which will ultimately prove, like all other hybrids, simply an unhappy mix ture of the more ignoble qualities of each parent. Men who fall in love with this diluted form of nolitical ethics forget that . x o I - with all the evils atteWinsr extreme par tisanship we have also the candor the courage, the outspoken sentiment, the munlv defiance of onnosition. tb ibuwr anu zeaious oeiense oi principle W'ucn has infused, with all its roughnefes, a spirit of chivalry into our political wel- iare. e Know cacn oiner. we Know where we may expect to find ourselves and our opponents. We can calculate of each other that, whatever of evil there may be,, there will be no deception, no hypocracv. no pretense. Sir, there is nothing in the nature of man that stamps his nobility more uumis takably than this spirit of generous rival ry in ardent strife for worthy purptnses. The untutored schoollioy instinctively shouts his admiration at every exhibition of pluck and magnamity in a square stand-up fight. Men who differ honestly and maintain that difference boldly pre sent everywhere the best side of nature. No instances in history so captivate the mind of every reader as those which ex emplify this spirit of fair play and gener osity. For want of political parties Russia has nihilism and despotism. For want of parties based upon well-known constitu tional principles France is divided into personal factions and cliques, and dwells above the red-hot firts of communism. For want of like constitutional parties Germany, the earliest home of the liber ties of our race, is honev-eomed hi1 th destructive tenets of socialism, which is only restrained by the conversion oi what should be a free limited monarchy into an almost absolute despotism, sup ported bv an armv so vast and exnerisive as to very nearly eat up the substance and destroy the productive capacity of )her people. Austria has scarcely a atuiuiautf oi wnai may oe termea politi cal parties, and has no more liberty than party. The history of the world is replete with the lessons which confirm the truth of Mr. Madison's words that parties are indeed "the natural olFspring of liberty.'" Freedom, truly, is the priceless gem which is crystallized in the fierce heats of party strife. That strife must continue forever, if it be that freedom is to live forever there is no rest for the free. The passage of the civil-service Inw n I have intimated, was an attack upon the rightful prerogative of the Executive and a blow aimed at the integrity of political parties. It Will be felt i n all thiit. T'i!ifti are intended to preserve the institutions of otir country. The cornerstone of those institutions are: First. The eligibility of all qualified freemen to hold office, and therefore the right to seek office at the source of power. Second. A brief term of oJSce. Third. A direct and immediate respon sibility of all elective- -Officers to the peo ple. -Fourth. A mediate and indirect respon sibility of all appointed officers to the people through the direct and immediate responsibility of the appointing power. All these essential features of our con stitution of government are contravened by this law known as the civil -service act. g Another serious objection to the law is that it creates unusual offenses and at taches unusual penalties for their commis sion. It also takes away the President's power and duty to execute the laws, and confers them unconstitutionally upon the board of commissioners. Thev are given supervision and control over everybodv including the President, in all matters pertaining to the enforcement of this jaw. It is the dutv of this hoard rf Lsion'ers to see' that all persons subject to iinfe law aostuin aosoiuteiy trom all politi cal service, and especially that they do not lie upon each other; that no Senator, Representative, or other officer of the Government shall recommend anybody for office or violate the provisions of this aet in any way, but that it shall dwell to gether in millennial peace and harmony, and forever remain virtuous and happy!

How much these legal terrors may assist the Govern ment in procuring correct information in regard to the aspirants for place is a ques tion not solvable in any ordinary prepara tion Of logic. . - As I have expressed my disapprobation of the tenure-of-otnee law and all parti san attempts to infringe the rights of the Executive and thwart the will of the people, so do I condemn this civil-service law as the meanest and most insidious of them all. Professing to avoid any direct interference with his power, it yet sur rounds the President with checks and hindrances on every hand. It binds him with his own consent. Instead of the free discretion to choose his agents from the whole bodv of American citizens, it binds him to choose from the four select ed for him by others. Instead of choos ing an officer pleasing to him, he is compelled to take one who is pleas ing to the Civil Service Commissioners. When a new President is elected, instead of being able to freely choose his own agents to assist him in the execution of the laws, he is hound to leave those of his predecessor in full possession. Instead of that high discretion with which the Con stitution invests him, this civil-service law substitutes the discretion of an irre sponsible commission, anfl confers these ;h powers on three men, who are to m- prospect of earthly resurrection; often oppressed bv a weight of odium anffiiont to cow the bravestpirit, under the influ- hi cubate on certain inchoate official crr , , . and hatch executive officers, warranted to be of better quality and capacity than those propagated by the natural methods. No wonder that more than one of its eminent advocates said that its execution naturally presupposed a President friend ly to its provisions. It could not live a moment except by the voluntary submis sion of the Executive to its absurd and fantastic arrangements. Did its originat ors get the idea from Professor Baird fish hatchery, or did they go to England for it? When the people of England, through their representatives inthe house of com mons, desire a change in the administra tion of the government they simply vote a want of oonfidence iu that government. The executive officers in power are not changed otherwise than so far as the change of policy mav renuire. That, is all that is expected or desired. Besides as the executive, tl.ere was hereditary, there was no way of avoiding corrupt or inefficient minor officers except by com petitive examinations. There was no re sponsibility to the people for bad appoint ments. Here there is such responsibility; here all is different. When the people elect a President, avowiner a different. policy from that of his predecessor, thev U 1 .1 l . . i i i wcrwv ueciare noi oil v ior a ensimrp ot policy but for a change in the personnel of iie Government as well. This has been the universal custom to the present day. The people expect the man of their choice whom they have elected to remove those iu office and appoint everv man whom he may deem necessary to the effectual carrying out, not of his, but of their will. And especially was this true of the last Presidential election, which was in fluenced move bv the desire for a thor oughly radical change in the personnel of me laic aumuusiratiou tjian tor any other consideration whatever. The proof of this was the universal crv. the party Slogan, turn the rascals out." The behavior of the Republican advo cates of this law about the tune of its passage was not only remarkable; it was shameless. In the face of their allega tions that the spoils system was corrupt, and that by it wc could not possibly get good and competent officials, they not only defeated by a solid vote in the Sen ate the amendment of Mr. Puirh. as I have stated, reooirinir their friends al ready in to submit to examination, but they made haste to fill every possible va cancy with their partisans before the law took effect. It is an open secret that on Saturday, the 14th of July, some of the heads of Departments in this citv. socnt Jhe entire day and night, far into Sunday morning, in lining every vacancy, pro motion their friends and kin and ncerad- ing their political enemies. The law was to go into effect on the 15th of July. Quite a number of new clerks had been provided for by tbeapfttropriatiou bills for the fiscal year beginning July 1, and a full supply Of applicants had already passed the civil-service examination and stood by waitinc for the. law to ero into effect. Rut when the offices opened on Monday, the Kith, not a vacant place wa anywhere to be found, every one was oc cupied by a Kepublican or kinsman of the appointing officer. And the men who perpetrated this fraud on their own law, with the cheek of a town cow, cry ''spoilsman ! " at every man who de nounces their hypocracv ; and Democrats are found who by their votes here sustain these men in the retention of their ill gotten spoils, and who seem to think that fraud and hypocrisy constitute the neces sary overture to the grand symphony of reiorni. The meaning of all this is, the Repub licans desire office from pure patriotism; the Democrats wish office simply for their emoluments. For a Republican to hold office after the people have told him to leave is commendable and pure; for a Democrat to wish to get oue after the people have declared for him is reprehen sible and base. Now, grant that the offices belong to neither party, but to the people, for whose benefit they were insti tuted; when the people have once spoken and declared by a constitutional majority that the Republicans must go out and the Democrats come in, which of the two dis plays the most attachment to the spoils ; he who .desires them with the consent of the people, or he who holds on to them in defiance of the wishes of the people? If the owner of a house desire his two guests to depart, whether of the two is the gentleman, he who retires on the first intimation of the host, ox he who lingers, claims the house, and waits to be kicked out? The force of this lias been acknowledg ed by niany fair-minded Republican Sen ators and Republicans everywhere in whom the common spirit of manhood has not been quenched by the greed for office, Hundreds all over the country have vol untarily retired -from positions which they acknowledged belonged to their op ponents. It is not from such that the cry of spoilsman comes. A Republican who shrieks out this cry in defense of his own spoils is entitled to some respect, ho ever, ror ne out ooeys ine ordinary die-' tates of a very natural selfishness. " But what should be said, what can be said, iu defense of a Democrat, who, haying se cured his coveted office and having se cured it. too. bv the extern tisan methods, turns Upon men through few names in Sardis. who had not defiled their garments" When the very name of Democrat became a convertible term with that of copperhead, rebel, and traitor fancy his uuconquered and undismayed soul still working for his principles, still watching for the dawn, still waiting with prayerfulness for the hope of his political Israel, thaukinsr God for each township, or county victory which showed that his principles still lived in the hearts of his countrymen, and were growing be cause they were immortal quicker and quicker throbs his heart, higher and higher rises his joy as stronghold after stronghold is carried, as State after State is capiurea in spite ot unconstitutional laws and covern mental interference in spite of bayonets glittering at the polls, in spite of that gross and unblushing fraud which is the supplement of despair; and, lastly, imagine if you can the hot tide of triumphant joy with which he saw iu November, 1884, the banners of Dem ocracy full high advanced and successful over all the Union, and his nartv once more in control of the great destines of nis country, w hen the hope of his soul had thus been at last realized nod hi olH eyes had been permitted to behold the great salvation, when the bonfires tin- died in a thousand cities and hamlets had burned down, and the feast in cr had endoil and the oratory and all the elements of rejoicing nau suosmea, and the new ad ministration had begun its career amid the prayers and blessings of all Demo cratic hearts, imagine, I say, this old faithful and honest man of principle com ing to Washington, in the simplicity of nea it, urmgmg certificates- from his neighbors of his character and services, and modestly asking for a position, nat urally supposing that the kiug iu making up his jewels would remember his faith ful servants. But imagine that old gentleman's disappointment when some thing like the following occurs between him and the Government's representa tive : Old Democrat. "I have come to make application for some position under the Government which I am competent to fill." Government Representative "V on ii re too old: under the laws of the Republic men over 45 years old are not permitted to take office." O. D. "But I see men in places here who are sixty years old.'' G. R. "Oh, they were in when the law was enacted, and it docs not operate on them." O. D. "Well, if such be the law, I submit; it may be that I am too old. But here is my, boy; he is young and active and well educated; give him a po sition." G. R. "We can not do It; there is no vacancy." O. D. "No vacancy? Well, make one. There is a rank Republican. That man has been our bitterest enemy. He has denounced me and my party as traitors lo our country again and again. Turn him out and put in my son or my neigh bor's son." G. R. "It cannot be, sir. The law for bids it. And, besides, if there were a va cancy your son could not get the place unless he stood an examination by the board of Civil Service Commissioners and secured the favor of that board over mauy others." O. D. "Well ! well ! Did all those Re- ! publicans in there have to stand such an examination and get their places in the same way ? If so, and they w ere smarter than the Democrats, again I say, I will have to submit." G. R. "Oh, no, my dear sir, no. You see they were all in when the law was enacted. They got in by that old corrupt method which we call 'the spoil7 system. But being in, you see they had a sort of vested right to their places and the law does not disturb vested"' rights, that is Republican rights Except for a very se rious cause;" O. D. ,Tlien, it seems to me there is notluntr here for me or mine, and all tht talk during the campaign about corrup tion m omce ami turning the rascals out was a trick and a lie. It appears that there were no rascals in, or if there were, you like rascals better than you do honest men, and so keep them." G. R. "Old man, you had better go home; you are behind the tubes. This is an age of civil service reform. Men can no longer be rewarded by office for party work; that is, humble men like you and your son. The big ones may be paid that way: for that is true reform. But when such men as you confess that they want office they are spoilsmen, and that is what you are. lam ashamed of you! Away with you !"' This final and insulting reply is the iron which enters his soul, and he retires crushed and wounded beyond recovery. The scene of disappointment, of injustice, of humiliation, the ingratitude of those for whom he labored, are too much for him to endure, and the enthusiasm of hin life is ouenched forever. The inun u lm calls him a spoilsman, and charges that ne served nis party lor the sake of office only, foully belies a better man ili:m himself. 1866 - r : - . f (LIFE tf FIRE) OF .
