In an article referring to the labor question, the Christian Union saya that the cost of lutelstence determines the rate of wages. This ia true bo far as the greater part of European nations are concerned, bnt happily it la net yet true of the wages paid to labor in the United States. Here, owing to the fact that the conntry is very extensive and but partially developed; that it is amply capable of supporting a much larger population, and that free homes may still be obtained on the public domain, wages are on the average somewhat in excess ot the cost ol eabaistance, and It Is practicable, when no general business depression exists, as at present, "for worxlagmen to fave sasiellnDg far a rainy dsy. Bat tula will not last always. As the pnbllo land dif appears, as the population grows larger, and as the conntry becomes more settled the rate of wagts will fall, and ultimately what the Union eays concerning the cost of eubaistense determining the recompense of labor will be as true of this land as it now is of some others. Eat this prediction is of conrre based upon the assumption that in the future, as at present, wealth will continue tD concentrate In the hands of the few. Something may Occur to prevent this, however. When the laboring man receives no more for hia work than just enough to support him hia condition is one cf slavery. He doesn't live, he merely exists. Is it probable that a free and enlightened people, such as the American laborers are, will ever permit themselves to be made tlaves? Will they be content, for instance, like their Belgian brethren are to lead lives of poverty from the cradle to the grave, while owing to the accident of birth or inheritance their neighbors revel in luxury? It is scarcely credible that they will. Indeed, before wages reach such a roint as to afford a bare subsistence a more general distribution of realtn that will improve the condition ot the laboring classes Is likely to be effected by peaceful means. If It is not, judging the fa
(are ty the paat, it Is likely to ba eüaeted by violent means. Tfco American spirit ia one of prcsret3 instead of retrogression, and the history of cur jecple Eupplies ro atsarance that they will ever tamely eabmit to be rtdaced to a condition of serfdom.
GOOD AND EVIL An article entitled, "The Law's Dilar," la Iii April cumber of tb9 North American Pvtvlew, written by Chief Justice llargls, of Kentucky, i another illustration of the eft expressed i? ca of eotv easy it is to recite evils and how difficult to eoest pra:iical reoacdie?. Centuries eo it vas written, 'I created the evil aa well as tie good, taith tho Lord." Eirce matter existed there fc.n tean an equilibrium cf good and evil. Each dominates for a time. While oce is superior in one place or thing or time, lie other is superior in another place, tiiirg or time. All that exis'a or will exi?t has brought end will brinj its equilibrium of good and evil, and on its u!b depends which will dominate. The object of our form of government is to tare the greatest individual liberty consistent with pnblio order. We have no overament except the laws, and they must be g:cd and bad intermixed, because men are so who make them. Co cf their adminislratioo. If good, they n:87 be made e vil by bad administration. All remedies propped fer raoäificatioa or cure cf evils thernstlvei must bring good and evil, becauEe no good can exir.t without evil, as there can net be anything without an orpesite. Jc(?o IIergi3 propor.es the eradication of the lobby. Then he most nbclbh deliberative bodies aad eradicate d?sire for gala aad personal betterment. It is tha outgrovth cf these. He proposes that a majority of a jury ray render a verdict. Then he ma3t provide for the evils of verdicts without consideration, merely cn the impulsive ot?3 cf seven men tja:nt five, whils the fivo may bo right and the rcven wrorjr; the rive wise and the sevea fcclich. TI12 majority must govern throughout. Tte jaiy may ballot in three minutes after leaving the box, and a majority decide to ictrra a verdict aad do sa in fire minutes. We caa.not, by la, fix the time, or method, cr.'ccurseof deliberation, for thn will destroy tha whole idea and principle cf trial by jury. If we have a msj srity rule, unless we a!so have this regulation, it will creaie, fcr juries, every evil Judp;e Ilargia enumeratesand mcra he does not attaching to legislation. 0 w ith his proposition of scholastic education. The best edacated and wisest Ulklag men I ever knew was almost a panper, and Lecctiid ba persuaded or led sgainst Lis knowledge, his inclinations and his precepta. Iiis neighbor could neither resd nor write, yet he knew bis leading rights and duties as a citizen, rarely faiied in judgment, managed a large business and became wealthy. The first would have been donh in a jury room ; the latter would have reached a sound ccEcIs'ien en thj facts before him. While cviry man should be able to read aad writs and c'pher, the evils JuJge Harg's would cure Lava their origin far back of where ha b?ic?. and the education and leal provieiona fwr their cure mnst begin where they arUe. The mentality cf men is at first born with them and is largely tha result of accident rsrely cf design. The surroundings after birth are the same accidental. Tha educaticn, exemplary aa well as scholastic, determines the mental motive power and direction in life, only iD part. Eüacatioa can be aimed to develop good and repress evil tendencies, but only to the extent the surroundings and the mental organism will pjrmit. A person with acquisitiveness, sscretiveness, caulicn and firmness will aco.u:re property wstb. no echoiastio education, may be Ebrewd ia business and have sound judgaient. Oae without these elements may become a great scholar, but will be hungry for bread, without sound judgment With th sgive hlin reverence, benevolence, Ec-lf-esieem trd love of approbation, and he will be a public benefactor. Give Lim education and hs will be all the better. Take from him the foar last, and with or without learning he will cave no scruples about acquiring property, and may be a thief. Caution may save him or may not. One without the f our first elements and with the four hit m y be a great Echolar, but will be likely to lack for bread and bs without sound judgment. Give tithev the four latter without the former and they would be enthusiasts without practicality, living and giving at the expense of others, and could seither make cor execute wise laws with all the book learning possible to acquire. The same conditions and relations hold good a to the morals, and through all the combinations of physical development physical first, and mental dependent on the physical, litt t and la&t. Laws enforced and education directed to prevent prccreattOD by criminals will decrease criminal mentalism and crimes. Enforced lawe for education that develops good mental traits and suppresses bad ones will make better men in everything. Simply scholastic cdacation will be wisely used by good mintp, and bad ones will use it to gratify tf.l tendencies. Toe wiser the nun with a bai mental organization the more danger ous he ia, the harder to circumvent or keep from places ot Influence. While the right of suffrage is too cheap and love of license (called liberty), and of personal gain, and cf individual pswer are too great, and should be lessened and limited, they are the outgrovf ttt of our vastnesa our unlimited space and material resources. Aa we grow more numerous and jostle each other fcr want cf elbow-room, and our interests clash more and more, new outgrowths will bring new forces good and evil that will still maintain an equilibrium, and our knowledge of and love forjlifeerty will retain it for U3 and maintain public order. Heaven itself locks on with aatomahmsnt to see nearly GO.OOO.OOO of people, cccupying nearly 4.000.C00 of square miles, with the highest civilization yet attained, and no army or cavy or national police worth naming; where a half million of people can a w lemble on a public occasion, maintain order and need no restraint. In our pr?gre-so far the good dominates the evil, and our progress in education, intelligence, legislative and administrative- wisdom has been consistent ith our enrrouiidingL Sooner or later education will systematically begin and practically teach how to prevent diseased and defermid haraaaity, physlcil and mea
ts, and tba knowledge will go upon ths statute aa law to practically enforce It. Bat

Ths lobby, the incompetent Legislature, "the law's delay," are but stations on the h'ghway of moral and physical forces leadirg to a higher level, and necessary in their tins and place as stepping stones to reach that level ; whila but for them greater evils would have existed. C. JJ. Reive. ALL CIVIL SERVICE ADVOCATE3. We have at hand the names of a number of Washington republican office-holders who are doabtleas in favor of civil earvice reform by a large majority. The followiag is the list of the places held by the members cf a colored family by the name of -Sllenca: George P., xnesserger in the Interns! Havenue effice, $'J00; Jona A., clerk, Land Oitice, fcl.CCO; William O., messenger, Medical Uareau, War Dfpartment, $720; C. II. Lse, tidier in-law, Department cf Justics ruestetger, 1 510. The father of this family hi3 justlctt his place in the Postofflc9 Department. Another ion Les jastbsea appointed in the Internal Revenue.

In rearly ail of the d?partmeni3 there are relatives without number. Tu? same corr impendent says: "Tfcere ara a great maoy casts cf families employed by the Government where the members all live in oae house. It may be said that they all perform their dntit3, and that therefore there chou'.d bs to objection to such employment. The answtr to this is that the law 13 violated in every ii-stance where more thaa one member of a family is so emplcyed." Uf coarse all of tLe:e people are largely in favcr of civil service reform. DESERTING THE "GRAND PARTY." OLD In Indiana and ether States of the'Norta the colored Republican is gradually getting Lis eyes open to the fact that the whites of his party have tc&n simply using him as a tooL A 1 they had for him to do waa to vote. This wa3 amnsing, perhepi, for a few years, but the dividends were not larg9 when the time came around to parcel out the epoils. The whites took all the- cfiices, while the colored man looked on frith Lis Hager in his mouth. Daring the last year the colored Republicans have been breaking away from the party harness and uniiiog with the Democrat. Not onJy ia this true in Indiana acd other Northern States, but we find the dieaCtction has reached the cslored men of Texas. A Dallas, Tex., corresondent says that this break in the Republican ranks is taking rlace in that State. Before the election the white Republicans instilled into the minds cf the negroes that they would be reenslaved in the event of Daraocrulic success. The course of events &iacs March 1 ha3 baen such aa to remove the delusion, and the ne grccs are becoming politically mutinous to their former white leaders and coacaers. It sfcais that a very Intelligent colored preacher, by the name of Canon, Is heading the Texas revolt from Republicanism. lis ia regarded as the foremost colored man in Texas in point of education aad influence The Dallas Herald of recent date contains the following very remarkable letter from him: To the colored people of the State of Texa: This is to certlly that 1, VY.

There is a disposition to bear a little too bard on General Rosecrans because of his attitude towards General Grant in the last Congretf. Kcferrlng to this, a Washington ditpafch to the New York Graphic b&ts: Tbe prevailing concern over General Grant last night caused many curious glances to be cast oa General Rosecrans. Perhaps Rosecrans has been Grant's bitterest enemy. Ia public and private ha ha sneered at Grant's achievements aud attacked bis character. He has alwaylneld himself to have been badly used, and certainly the antipathy between the men was mutual. Rosecrans's friends were curious to see bow far he would soften toward a dyinir man. Noi-ody, however, had the boldtess to ask Lira anything about the subject. But it could not be kept out of the conversation. Somebody In a party In which Rosecrans was brooaht it up, then hesitated, shifted uneasily, glanced nervously at tbe General and finally stepped out. Fverjbody waited an uncomfortable auspenEA. At last the white-whiskered, redfaced, bind old fellow blurted out, Well, ko oa. Whit was the last bulletin? No man hero cm think cf General Giant's death without feeling tnat the country is lobin? a preat mm a soldier alter all, gentlemen, with a bis hert. Neither mental nor physical labor can be accomplished satisfactorily unlets the system is in order. When yon feel tired, languid, wearied without exertion, the mind slow to act, and requiring great mental effort, you can rest assured that your Liver is not acting properly, and that nature requires aseistacce to help throw off impurities. There is co remedy that will accomplish this 80 mildly and yet effectually as Pbickly Ash Bittkes. A trial will satisfy you of its merits.
THE SILVER QUESriO.Y. A Masterly, acd Entertaining Discussion by Hon. C. II. Keeve.
PiTMocTir, March CD. I bava bea reading an argument in favor cf the continuance of compulsory coinage of tha "buzzard eilTer dollar," mads by an able lawyer and prominent writer on political subjects (and he is an ardent Democrat too), published in a leading metropolitan journal, contained la an open letter addressed to the cashier of a national bank who is well known in financial circles. It Las seemed etrange to me that in th9 various reviews and opiniors on this subject by pobEc men, in end cut of cilice, no one cf them ever tenches upon a prominent point, too plain to ba overlooked; and that L?, the discrimination between tha obligations of Government made in ths laws throngtout the entire national legislation on financial affairs. It has seemed to be an impcttibility for Congress to formulate a bill fcr an act relating to finance in any retpett that does not discriminate against one cr ir ore obligations uf government and in favor cf another or others. Froji the tirst act ty a Republican Congress up to theJatt cr.e the same conditions cb'atn, and these legislators and their frieads, cilled Democrats and acting with that party organization who favor paternal government and class laws intended to favor one indnstry by ataxcprnatl ethers, Lave fellsa intitho ditch, that being inevitable when "the blind lead tte blind." It is oce cf the forces belonging to matter that a thing in a faiee position can maie no trne and natural movements until it is placed in a true rcsition. (The movements may be natural, but tbey will be distorted ) S j men in afulie pesition can take no step without 1 lunging into moie fa'&iüe, and, having taken a false step, they must continue; to go wrong until they get bacc to a correct position. In relation to this silver question, our CJoyrnment is in a faUe position and mu3t get into a trne one before it can take any action tfcat will be right. livery wrong move r.cceesit&tes moro wrong one?, for each creates new evils that must ba met, end trey intreve In dieaslrous proportion. Mere than one-half of the legislation State and National coceiats in making patches to coerupold sores caacia by preceding legislation. Each patch makes ncv Eorej which tbe succeeding Legislature makes more patches for. The statatory enactmenta baccnie so numerous aad complicated that no court or lawye r caa keep up wither reconcile tbein, cr, fiaal'y, ucde:3!aad what ths law really Js The early history cf legislation in relation to tbe finances, beginning with the war of P-01, discloses the first fa!e step necessitat ire otheis; and tbey Lavs foibwadeach other in succession down to this t:me, while ttere ha3 never been an eifjrt ruade to get into a true position. Thi3 cooir-ulaory coinepe of the "buzzaid silver djllar'' is only one of the patches originally intended to cover a sere made by previous patches oa another sere, acd mcst of the Republican politicians with Borne Democrats in opposition to the business brains of the country, advoca'e the rttealicn of tho patch, a'lthongh ne tores are breaking out ail around ir, and there is a certainty of irdolcat aad ir curable ulcers if it i3 continued. When Congress wanted money for the war instead cf going into tbe markets of the world for a icau cn its Government cradit, it went into the marke's at home at first and then into the general mar et, on obligations issued under laws that discriminated ia favor of one and against others. It ignored the fact that j?:old dominated and all oyer the wcrid dictated tho units cf value or the sterdard all other measures must cone to. It es .blind to the fact that this had come to be so by common consent cf mankind, aad nothing short cf common consent could cfcacr.e it First, they made a treasury note redeemable in gold. Then they male a bond fie9 fjom taxaticD, with interest and principal payable in gold, for "coin" meant gold, as every ether coin would te measured by eold ia fixing the actaal current value. Thea ttey made another treasury note net redeemable at all, aad declared it to be a legal tender, except for interest oa the bonds and tariff duties. Then they made a national bank note, and made it redeemable in these irredeemable treasury notes Ficaliy, they ruada a gold do lar the cnitcf value, fixed the Btaodard bstween gold and silver (or recognizee one), aad thfs- made a silver dollar worth 15 3 10 par cent, lefs thau the cold dollar br ita own standard, acd declared that a logal tender. Lsst, becaure this eighty-five cent dollar would not circulate for one hundred csats, ar d because the gold dominated as it always lias and always will and mass, by force of ratural law, while it is used as mooey they seek to force it into circa'ation by means of compulsory coinag?, tilver certlSates and unfriendly legislation toward thee banks. In other words, having created an indolent ulcer cn the fisanciai corpus it seeks to cure it by creating more indolent rjiceia. Or, having taken and maintained a false pesition it proposes to continue plunging Into more falsities rather tLan a-sarue a true position. Experience, as dear a school aa it Is, seems to teach these advocates nothing. They have not learned and will not learn in any other school, and they seem to be an excaption to the class who alone learn in that oae. They have before them the results of the first and subsequent discriminations. Bstween gold and their legal tender cotes, the former went to 230 premium and ths latter to 55 discount Their bonds, with gold, went into the market aa commodities, and universal gambling ensued on Government obligations of every class, and Government itself was compelled to go down into the monied centers like Wall street, and take a hand with the gamblers she had made end far ntshed with the capital to beat her, and actually gambled on her own obligations, putting up "pots" of millions, and not untrequently playing for a "jack pots." It was powerless to protect itself. Once in a great while it would make a small scoop by overSizing the pile of the other fellows, but not often ; and most of tho time they had it their own way and the people paid expenses. Congress led along on this line, in oae way and another, until at the end of the war cf four years it had expended immense turns and created a National debt of about three billions cf dollars. Sines that time, in about twenty-fours, it has received fro at various sourer a as revenue actual money to the amount of about eighteen billions of dollars, while under this false system of financial legislation it has paid off only about one billion cf that debt. It has funded it and prolonged the payment at a large annual sum for interest, and continues to struggle with other existing and constantly arising evils by the same course ot action. Bearing in mind that this compulsory coinage of silver is one of the outgrowths of the discriminating course of legislation I have briefly traoed, the eilver question is in a nutshelL In relation to it we must be governed by the universal law that requires us to recognize and deal with facts as we find them. Then we must recognize the fact thatasmonsy geld dominates and silver is subordinate by common consent and usage of all commercial peoples; that bimetalism does not exist by common consent among commercial cations; that the ratio between gold and silver can be fixed by law, but wilt bind only tbe Nation that fixeB iL Now the United States desires to make silver circulate as money. Let Congress fix the ratio, no matter what it is, say fifteen and a half of silver for oce of gold. Let her make her sliver dollars equal with her gold dollar cm tint bails, acd they will circulate to the fall extent they can be made to pass, and no human power can force them beyond that, It ia tbe discrimination son eh t to ba male bstween the coins that makes tbe ereatest evil. In Mexico ths basinets man starts out.with
L'b peons, each with a bag ot silver oa' his back, to pay bis obligation. If te wants gold be pays 10 to 15 par ceit. premium for It Not because of suoh discrimicaticg legislation aa we have, bat bacause cf superabundance of silver, and a fciced circulation has driven the gold out In Lenden, where gold alone ru'es. it centers. Business i3 carried on by cocioieroial paper redeen able in gold. Silver, valael by gcid. circulates to the fall extent of the e'en and. and there is no friction. Kan the Latin Union does not pretend to force debesed silver to the level cf gold, and could net do eo even even In :ti own conntries if its membets should agree to try by government fiat Tte lessor and cheaper and less: convenient will 11 tbe channels it is fitted for, and r.o amoout of forcing can make it do more. Tbst is the relation silver bears to gold.' Forced beyond that, like drift wood, it covers tbe Bhores as drift-wood, or obUruots the channel and turns the current bick tj find oiher channels, doing injury as other flocds do. Tte greater amount cf the world's business is condacted on commercial paper and bullion ; ccin is treated as bullion ia f oratga trade and exchargs, the ectual gsld valua in it being tbe total purchasing po.ver it pesresfce:-; the Govtrnmeut's stamp bsing the evidence of pure metal ia it. Its local coin value gees for nothing excjpt 5.n its own country. Thia being the fact, what nonsense it is to seek to change it by such discriminating laws as dufgracs the statute boo&3 cf the United States, in ths futile effirt to turn aside unerring and unswerving forces that grow cut cf trade and finance? la slave timee. under a great revival, many negroes wera being baptized. Tha preecber lost his hold on cue fat, elek fallow as he went under the water, and he cams near drowning. Ha lioally got up on ths tatik and sang cut: "Bstterlook out dar, some genelman '11 be short a nigger wid di cam foolishness." The country has been "abort" a good rcaDy limes with this foolish Ieg'slatioa, to the trcmions ccst of tb.3 laboring aod producing classes, and the continuance cf the ccmpu.'eory silver c;inag3 law will raake. more cf it, and to a serious ext sat. The true portion is, one unb of value for coin end coinage safficient to sapp'y tha demand. Thea it will regulato itself. Let all Government cbügationa ba on a level, and co one better than ajother nnitr the statute.

r.tIOa ALS FltOM OFFICE. Tho Views of Jefferson Tersely Presented by lion. Cfearles K. Itackalevr, Ex-Senator of Pennsjlranio. Philadelphia Record. New that the Democracy has raturned to power after twenty-four year3 of ex-le, it finds lttelf confronted by the same question of patronage managamtnt which confronted its founder at the commencemont of the century acd during Lis incumbency of the Presidential office. Thena:nct that greai man is often invoked to sanctoa or to coqdemn tneorsea or practices of government which, fioru their coonsctioa wiiu party passion or interest, constitute subjects of continuing and ardent debate, and upon which universal agreement of opinion ia no: to bs expected. Bat his announced views upoa any poblic que3tion, when duly considered, will always be instructive, aod will often affcrd us safe guidance, even under changed prlitical condition, ia modern times. He came to the Preside ccy at a time wiien nearly all public ctli:?s were fiil-d by his political enemies, by men who had bssa active in opposing his election, and nimy of whom were not well disposed to Republican principles of government, or at least not fcopef ul of their success. Was tha new Caisf Magistrate, tbe bead of a triumphal party, to act with vigor or with moderation ia mafcirg appointments to oiSc. or ia reruoving Lia pclitical enemies from office, and by what rules cf conduct was he to act in relation thereto? The answer to the29 questions is furnished by Government records aud by his published correspondence. L He announced with emphasis his conviction that it waa both unreasonable and unjust that the majority party of the cocmtry should be excluded from pablic offices of appointment and be compelled to see those cilices filled almost exclusively- by their political opponents; that this was a wrong which it was his duty, as it was his inclination, to redress, and that he would proceed to redress it as opportunity should offar or should be created bv a proper exercise of the remev irg power. It was Lis original idsa, in pursuing this object, to depend entirely upon deaths, resignations aud removals for delinquency to furnish vacancies for the exercise of tbe appointing power (Works IV, 451). But, upon further consideration aud experience in administration, he came to hold that removals might be made for other reasons than official delinquency or misconduct in office, and particularly for "electioneering activity or open and industrious oppesition to the principles of the Government, legislative and executive," or, in other words, for "using the influence of offfesto destroy the confidence ot the people in their Government" Sixteen removals were made by Lim upon this ground during the first two years of his administration. (Works, IV, 4G6, 4S5.) President Cleveland, In his civil Bervics reform letter of December 2ö, 1331, has men a more extended statement of this JefTsrjOnian doctrine, where he speaks of persons In c luce who "have forfeited all just claim to retention became they haye used their places for party purposes in disregard of tbeir duty to the people, and beoause they haie proved themselves offeasiye partisans and unscrupulous manipulators of local party management. 2. lie declares that the appointments made after his own election by his prsdecesser did not confer upon the appointees any claim to continuance in oilice; that the attempt to impose them upon him as his aeaistants In administration was objectionable and offensive, and that he would not regard the persons bo appointed even as candidates with claims to be considered by him ai custodians of the appointing power. So far, therefore, as such appointees were not protected by a constitutional tenure of oilice, tbeir appointments would b treated aa if tbey bad sot been made. (Works, IV., 331, 3S3, G0:4, Ö13 ) 3. It was his opinion that Ministers of the United States abroad should be recalled after a reasonable time t-f service, for reasons which he said bad commanded the approval of President Washington, as well as his on deli berat ejadgnient. He therefore recalled his friend, Mr. Short and ethers from foreign service, explained to them the grounds of fixed policy upon wnich he proceeded. (Letter to WUilam Short, Works, IV., 413.) 4. fie w3 unquestionably opposed to the act of 15th May, 1820 (which fixed a statutory term of four years for many offices), for reasons stated ia his letter to Mr. Madison,
of 20lh November, 1320, but It is equally certain that be would not Lave advised a disregard of the statute by the Executive if bis opinion as to its eaforcement had bsen exrr'eeed. Tbe power cf removal, vested in the President by the constitution, can net te destroyed or impaired by statute, bet the manner in which cooimiasions stall go out cd the tim8 for which ttey shall isjue, may be regulated by law without impinging upoa Executive power. As a matter of policy, however, it is unwise acd improper to remove otucers of the United States during statutory terms of service, unless lor good cause. pibl;c or perscra), and tbe aanouncemeit and enforcement cf a rule against it by the Executive must, in view of modem abasss of the appointing power, be regarded 63 a Btep, ar.d an important step, In tne direciioa of genuice reform. WLat shall be regarded as gcol caae for removing an officer cf the civil S3rvice is a question cf profound interest to the student of American politics, and one of coniinaaUv increasing importance. r. His opinion against nepotism, or ths appointment of relatives to offica. is str ong'y expressed in hia letter of March '21. 131, to George Jefferson. (Werks 4, 33 .) G. The celebrated New Haven iett?r of July J2, lS0l(Vorks4, 4''2), asserts or implies some cf the foregoing points of policy, cut is mere remarkable for a vigcroui statement of xhc ultimate cbjtct at wh'ch hs aimed the condition cf things which he greatly desired ard Jongeu for. No ixcdern reformer ot the c;vil service has tvtr more tersely an;? hadioauly expitsscd tte tores or aims of tho:-o vsLo would prescribe proscription," and establishing utcpiaa perfectioa in the maneierxent of pablic appointments. Bat we must remember, as we r?ad, that tha worls tre tLe wcids of a man of sympathetic nalere f a well as intellectual fore, and that 1 2 in his great first Inaugural, h3 ia stating a principle or ruts without its necsssary liiuitit'oii3. He says: "I shall return with joy to that st?.te of thir-gs when tha only quest cn concerning a candidate Ehall b3: 'is ha cntst,ishe capable, is he faithful to the Constitution? " Bat if we turn to hia letter to Levi Lincoln, written the day before, and to ether writings of his earlier and of later date, wo will dieccver the senes in which he rsed thoee words, "faithful to the Constitution." They did net, la hiz view. Je3cr.be the chiefs, the teachers and tho believers of tte Hamilton schcol cf opinion, who taaght end held the doctrine of strong government by construction of cjnstitulional grants.and whoie distrust of popular intelligence and iee'ern wa3 avowed aid incorrigible. He who habitually gave to those parsois blows, and not favcr, was tha last among livinr men to invite them to nestle in the posts of government, thus enabling theai to extend the circle cf their intluenco and power. But he bad not enly "tbe courage of his convictions" but alio the zeal of a mlrsioaery fcr their propagation and defense. Tnera was In Lis scheme of pablic conduct no room for ccmprornii9 with error or for surrer der of advantages to defiiutand implacable foes. Bat in a noble sense be was willing, like the Apostle to the Gentiles, "to become all things to ail men," to win thcoi to Lis faith and to the organization by which that faith was upheH. Hence ths fpiiit of tolerance toward th3 nis.33 cf tha party opposed to him at Lis electioa. He sought for their conversion to Republican principles by exhibiting before them aa aimicistraticn ot public afla rs ia which parity, Lip.h ability and wisdom were coaspicacue. acd by a concilatory c ours 3 toward them in making removals frocn cfiica. Aud he thoroughly tccomplished his purpose. At tbe end of his public service he left Federalism prostrate, tis party triumphant aad the fatnre of hia country sc:cre. There is a plain distinction between civil officers cf mere service, and officer cf direction acd control. The Cabinet Secretaries, certain Commissioners, and heads of Burkaus at Washington, Collectors of Castoois, Postmasters in the principal cities, and soma other officer, hold offices of tho latter c'as3, while the great mais cf oüiceis bslong to the former. Officers of direction and control ara In a fpecial seiise the agents of the President in the execution cf tne iars. He sek-c's and appoints them, and ia responsible for their performance ot duty. Resides, thev either
select or are concerned in the selection of tha nnrrerocs subordinate officers and employes who serve under them, and in other re?pects their powers are varied and extensive. It is, therefore, necessary to efficient and successful adminittiation that Presidential power over their onices ehould ba continuous aud complete. It follows that tha Tenureof Office laws cf tho United States, which lirui t the President's power over those officss, must be C3 pernicious In operation a3 they are elective and unccnstitutional in form. C. R, BlCrCALEW. A Campaigner's Experience. Lawrenco Llix, Esq., Warsaw, N.

Some years ago travellers in Dalmatla noticed large tracta of land covered by a wild flower near which not a sign of Insect life was visible. Tbe bloom was the pyrethum, whose odor deals death in the lower forms of life, and whoie powdered leaves form the basis of yineect powders." The seed cf this flower was distributed in the United States, arid a Dalmatian bas bsel gi owing it with great success in Stocton, California. Is It Not Singular that consumptives should bs the least apprehensive of their own condition, while all their friends are urging and beseeching them to be more careful about exposure and overdoing?
