CIVIL, SERVICE REPOBJIi
The reform if the civil Bervico lias been
largely talked of and written about for
many years pist. Within the last year
several bills _aye been introduced into
Congress looking to this end. "The mode
proposed is substantially tbe same in all of
them. The candidates for all appoint
ments are to be cxaminod by a compe
tent and unprejudiced board. Freo com
petition is secured to every American
youth, for all civil appointments. The
scale of proficiency and ability is rigidly
marked, and every candidate reads hjs
chances of promotion in the place ho oc
cupies there.
This is good enough so far as it goes,
and would at least rid tho government of
much worthless trash now imposed upon
it. It would open to capable young men
and women an opportunity to improve
themselves and turn their talents to ac
couut in tho service of tho country. The
departments might be made most valuablo
educatioD.il instrumentalities. The labor
of clerks rarely taxes the mind so
severely as to interfere with the success
ful prosecution of professional or other
studies. The opportunities of the Na
tional Capitol are equal to all needs.
Its great libraries, covering all science and
literature ; its collections and botanical
gardens, including every branch of natural
history ; its patent office, epitomizing tho
inventions of the world; the National
Legislature where the expressed intellect of
the nation displays its best powers—these
are opeu to every aspiring youth who re
sides in Washington. And this combina
tion of advantages can be found in
no other place on the continent. It
is sad to sco how these supreme condi
tions of intellectual development aro
neglecttd by the class of jiersons usual
ly employed in the civil service.
There are many noble exceptions, but too
often the appointors devote their leisure to
frivolous »ud even profligate pleasures.
This has been especially charged upon the
female employees; but it is just to say,
that although many worthless, ignorant
aud even disloyal women now occupy
places in tho departments, they will com
pare favorably, as a class, in all respects
with the male employees.
The reform that is now needed in the
civil service is of a radical and sweeping
character. Tho government caunot afford
to mako its administrative functions hos
pitals for the support of broken down po
litical hacks, or respectable old ladies aud
gentlemen, without ample meatss of sup
port, or even of charming young ladies,
whose bewitching smiles have softened the
austere patriotism of an influential Sena
tor to recommend them "for positions for
which plain merit had asked in vain.
The country has a right to demand that
these great opportunities shall not bo wast
ed upon the frivolous and undeserving;
that they shall bo so conferred as to secure
to it tho fullest returns: First, the imme
diate result of faithful and efficient service;
second, the incidental and remoter result
of rearing a race of capable and educa
ted statesmen. In auy proper civil ser
vice reform both these ends should be se
cured ,and they are not only compatible with
each other but essential counterparts. The
government will get its best service from
vigorous, progressive minds who improve
their means of intellectual advancement to
the utmost. Men who use tbo opportuni
ties of the Capitol only to enjoy life, as
they say, and who stop growing when they
have attained a first-class clerkship, will
soon become worthless even for that.
In addition to the original examination
required of all candidates for civil ap
pointments, there should bo annual exami
nations of incumbents, both with a view
to promote the meritorious and to displace
all persons who have ceased to improve.
Tbe hope of promotiou, as the reward
of studious efforts ,to improve, would bo a
healthful stimulus, and in some cases it
might well be supplimentcd by fear of
losing place altogether.
The Republican party owes to itself and
the country a faithful renovation
civil service, and we indicate our convic
tion as to what it should be in a general
way:
Ist. Open competition.
2d. Appoint only the best.
3d. Appoint only live Republicans—
vigorous, earnest, faithful men.
The Virginia City (Nevada) Enterprise
says that during the past ten years not less
than two hundred murders have been com
mitted in Storey county, in that Stale, and
for these ouly two of the' guilty men have
been banged, one under authority of the
law, and the other, Arthur Perkins HefferJ
ncr, a few days ago by a vigilance com
mittee. The murder committed by Heffor
ner, it says, was a deliberate, cold-blooded
and unprovoked assassination. With .
scarcely an exchange of a word, he Bhot
down an unarmed man who was a stranger
to him. The community, accustomed as
it had been to deeds of blood, was horrified
at the atrocity ; yet it was not until the
coufession of Willis, now confined in the
couuty jail on a charge of arson, had
shown him to be tho leader of a gang of
incendiaries, as well as a murderer, that
the substantial citizens and tax-payers of
the city resolved to make an example of
him. Through the arson of these fiends,
property to the value of hundreds of
thousands of dollars has been destroyed
during the past twelve months, and no
less than four lives have been lost by the
fires kindled by tbem.

The Virginians In Philadelphia.
ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION —TOASTED,
WINED, DINED.
The committee of tbo Virginia legisla
tun', with accompanying party, leached
Wilmington, Del., ou Monday last, where
they were mot and taken in charge by a
special committee of Philadelphlaos, and
• then.placed iv ■ special car provided for
their accommodation. Tho Press says :
ARRIVAL IN PHILADELPHIA.
They artived at tho depot about 6.30 P.
M., where carriages were ptovided, and
the company were escorted to tbe Conti
-1 nental Hotel, where they were received by
' other members of the Centennial Commit
, tee and a number of our most distinguish
ed citizens, among whom we noticed Colo
nel A. K. McCiure, Gustavus Remak of
the Park Commission, Presidents Cattell
. and Hubn, of City Councils, and a large
f number of the members of the city gov
, eminent. *
After a short timo spent in social con
verse, the company partook of tea, after
! which, by special invitation of the man
' agemcut, they attended the Chestnut-street
i Theatre, whero they witnessed that won
l derful impersonation of Mr. E. L. Daven
. port in tho character of Sir Giles Over
reach, iv "A New Way to P.iy Old Debts."
AT THE CHESTNUT
the occasion could not bo otlur than a
pleasant one to the visitors, and at the
' conclusion of the fifth act, Mr. Davenport,
in response to repeated calls, appeared be
fore the curtain and made oue of those ex
ceedingly apropos speeches for which he
has become celebrated.
After thanking the audience for the com
' pliment tendered him. he .made especial
reference to the visitors, who wore scatod
|on the right side of the parquette, and
' stated that they had come bore for the pur
pose of seeing our city with its beauty,
amusements, and business resources, with
special reference to aiding in a grand cen
tennial Celebration to bo held herein 187 G.
;He was sure they were wolcome here by
all the citizens of Philadelphia, and he, as
one of the number, felt that he was more
complimented by their presence than they
could be by the invitation he had extended
them. Since he had decided to locate hero
in this city permanently, he would assume
to speak as a citizen, aud say that what
ever could bo done to render their stay
pleasant and agreoable would be put forth
by all with whom they might come in con
tact. Whatever slight differences might
have existed ln tho past, ho could say they
were all now a band of brothers, and as
such he groetod them.
The speech and the delegates to whom
it was addressed were greeted with hearty
applause, while the orchestra performed ip
fine style the "Star-Spangled Banner."
AT THE LEAGUE HOUSE.
Tbe line of march was then taken to
the Union League House, where the dele
gation had been invited ta partake of a
banquet tendered personally by our dis
tinguished townsman. Colonel A. K. Mc-
Ciure. At the League House the visitors
were met by Col A. K. McCiure, Hon.
Morton McMichael, Colonel J. W. Forney,
and a number of other prominent citizons.
The points of interest at the League
House were shown fhein, and an informal
conversational soiree was held for a few
minutes, after which tho host of the even
ing, Colonel McCiure, led the way to tho
dining-room, and requested his guests to
partako of the banquet provided.
The gallant Colonel occupied the head
of the table, while on his left was seated
Hon. Morton McMichael and Col. Forney,
and on his right Senator Roller and Hon.
George Rye, while amoug the guests wo
noticed E. li. Davonport, Presidents Cat
tell and Htihn, and a number of members
of both branches of councils.
The bill of fare comprised everything
that could be desired or wished for, and
after full justice had been done the good
things provided, the assembly was called
to order by
nON. MORTON m'mICHAEL, i
the president of the League, who said: ;
Though he was a guest of Colonel McCiure,
the same as tho other gentlemen present,
he felt that he ought to say something be
fore any one else did, aud as the president
of the League, he would say on behalf of
all the members they were glad to greet
them here. Though he had been informed
that the guests were Conservatives or
Democrats, and ho presided over a body
which numbered 1,800 diametrically op
posed to them in politics, he desired to siy
that they were glad to see them. He knew
he should see them aguin during their slay
in the city. In the visit to the park, as
tbo president of the commission he would
again see them, and he knew that the com
ity of feeling which existed at the present,
time could not be strengthened by the
courtesies extended to them. He merely
desired to say thus much as the presiding
| 'officer, before Col. McCiure, Iho host of the
evening, had an .opportunity to«addtess
thorn. [Applause.]
ADDRESS CP COLONEL st'CLUHK.
Colonel A. K. McCiure then arose aud
said that, after the speech of welcome
which had been delivered, ho had but very
little to say. It would be comprised in a
toast, which would consist of oue word ;
he proposed the health of "Virginia," and
would request Sauator Roller to respond.
SPEECH 01? SENATOR ROLLER.
Senator Roller began his address by re
ferring to the classical qi/btation, "Ab deep
as a well and ns wide as a church door,"
and drew tlierefrutri tho simile that the
wounds which had been inflicted upon
them since their arrival in the City were lis
deep as a well, and wire received at the
hands of friends, and though they were
not so wide as a church dnnr, yet tho lan
guage at his command would fail to
express what he desired to say when
speaking for the Virginia delegation.
He thought ho might say that the
delegation would, were the oppor
tunity afforded then), retur-n tho wounds
with compound interest. They had
met «now with a common purpose, that
of doing something to render a grand suc
cess tho celebration of the Ceutennial
American ludopeudeuce. Unfortunately,
differences had existed in the past upon
questions which had been settled, he hoped,
forever ; but whatever those disagreements
might have been, they wore now prepared
to go forward in a common cause and
work together for tbe general good of nil.
On behalf ofthe delegation, jie returned his
thanks for the cordial reception which had
been tendered them by tho citizens of Phil
adelphia.
Colonel McCiure then said that he de
sired to propose tho next toast to a power
which on many an occasion had made a
grc-.it mau of very small material—a power
whose inlluence was wide-spread and uni
versal, tie proposed "The Press," and
desired his friond Mr. Cowardin, of Rich
mond, to respond.
Mr. Cowardin mado a very humorous
response to tho toast, which was thorough
ly enjoyed by all present. He retcrrrd to
the intimato relations existing botween
Virginia and Pennsylvania, and gave a
very funny description of tho visit of a
delegation from this State, header! by
Ojlouel McCiure, who visited Richmond
for tho purpose of having a new
line of railway built between Richmond
and Philadelphia, under tha man
agement of the Pennsylvania Central, in
which he entered largely into the detail of
1 the method of connecting the two cities.
lie mado some very telling remarks upon
tho reconstruction acts, and closed his very
pertinent remarks by proposing the joint
healths of "Richmond and Philadelphia,"
which was drank with ail the honors.
; The hour growing late, short addresses
wore mado by Judge Cochran, Col. John
W. Forney, and others, and at a seasona
ble hour tho party returned to tho Conti
nental, where they are quartered during
their stay in this city.
Yesterday, tho committee were formally
1 recoived at Independence Hall by Mayor
Fox and a comtnitlooof the councils.—
After the interchange of courtesies, the
i guests were conveyed in carriages to the
Baldwin locomotive works, en route to
Fairmont Park, where the site of the pro
posed exhibition buildings were pointed
out to them. The balance of the day was
spent in visiting various objects of interest,
including manufacturing establishments.
This evening thoy partako of a banquet
at tho Continental Hotel. Tho party is
expected to return to Virginia to-morrow.

Shad Hatching.—Tho report of tho
Massachusetts commissioners of fisheries
for 1870 is out. It confirms the highest
hopes of tho advocates of artificial breed
ing. By estimate, sixty million of yottsg
shad were hatched and turned loose at
Iladly Falls in 1869. In 1867, Scth Green
worked a mouth iv tho same water, und
sent out many millions. These, it is as
sumed, returned last year, when the catch
was larger than had been known for many
years. They are expected in still greater
abundance this year.
Next year wo will see the fruits of Mr.
Green's labors on the Hudson, if tho mur
derous small mesh nets do not slaughter
the fish beforo they reach maturity. By
tho process now adopted, there is no reason
why ono or five hundred million of young
shad should not be sent out every year in
the Hudson—rendering this delectable fish
as abundant, if not as cheap as when they
wero caught to manure the land on the
river's border.— Albany Journal.

A woman in Cleveland buried her hus
band on Sunday, March 26, and married
again on Wednesday, March 29. which so
excited her neighbors aud acquaintances
that with ono accord they assembled Wed
nesday evening in front of the houso of the
newly-wedded coupte, and with every im
aginable instrument, out of which a horrid
noise could be beaten, endeavored to ex
press their abhorrence of the act. Tho
bride rolled out two kegs of lager, but the
crowd pitched them back through a win- '
dow, and then followed up with an assault
with stones and brickj that broke every
window-pane iv the house. The police
finally dispersed thetn. !
The Lalayette (Indiana) Journal says
that a lady of culture and spotless charac- -
ter, who arrived iv that city a fow days [
ago, then learned that her husband, who j
had beeu corresponding with her for i
several months, had not only procure! a '
divorce from her, on the ground of aban
donment, but had married hor former ,
housekeeper. Not being a subscriber to a ,
small, obscure paper published iv Grant i
county, wherein she was notified "of the '
pending suit, she had remained in entire
ignoranca of his rascality."
According to a census of tbe new House <
of Representatives, by the correspondent j
of the Now York Journal of Commerce, ,
that body contains 131 lawyers, 24 mer- I
chants, 25 farmers and planters, 11 '
journalists, 5 manufacturers, 3 general bu
siness, G bankers, 3 physicians, 2 clergy
men, 1 teacher, 4 lumbermen, and 3 rail- ,
roar! managers. It is a singular fact, ac- i
cording to the same authority, that the
Boom contains seventeen ex-Confederate
officers. It also contains five colored men.
The Revolution says two of tbo most sue- '
cessful aud best paid editors aro women—
Miss Mary L. Booth, of the Bazar, who
receives $4,000 a year, and Mrs. Mary K.
Dodge, of the Hearth and Home, who has
a salary of $3,000. They aro both very
industrious aud capable; but coirsideiing
that their journals arc weekly, thoy get
more mouey for their labor than any men
in tho city.
Three men entered the Central Park
Savings Bauk, New York, Monday, and
after locking tho front door, bound and

locked, broke it open, when the burglars
fled through a rear door and escaped.
There is to be another State election this

meeting ofthe society to be held on next Tues
day afternoon.
Catholic Benevolent Association. —This
infant society—having scarcely a month's exist
ence—is progressing grandly. It numbers
already about two hundred members, with
dues paid. There was a meeting of it held
last nigbt at its rooms, corner ol Twelfth and
Main streets, over oflice of General P. T.
Moore. Tbe meeting was singularly large and
harmonious, and, while discussion was proper
ly varied (as it necessarily always must be in
tho incipiency of such well-conducted organi
zations), it was not tedious or desultory, but,
on the very contrary, cogent and edifying.
Tbe object of tho association is altogether
benevolent. It proposes to nourish tbe sick
of its members and to bury their destitute
deceased; also to givo moderate assistance
immediately after demiso to widows ol mem
bers who may need it. None but Catholics, as
a matter of course, belong to it, and therefore
it is neither secret nor oath bound. We aro
glad that it is in the pathway of success.
The Public Schools. —The building com
mittee of the board of education of this city,
awarded the contracts yesterday for the brick
work on tbe two school houses about to be
erected on the corner of First and Leigh streets,
and oue on the old site of the Bellevue hospital
lot on Broad street. Church Hill, to Messrs.
Hudgins & Neat. Tbey also awarded the con
tract fur the brick-work on the school-bouse
about to be erected for colored schools, on
Baker street, to Gideon Raglaud.
The firms to whom these contracts aro
awarded were the lowest bidders, and are fully
as responsible and reliable as any parly that
submitted proposals for the worlt. No doubt
it will be executed faithfully, and to the satis,
faction of the building committee, as also to
tbo citizens of tho city of Richmond generally.
The Old Blues. —A meeting of the sur
vivors of this time-honored and patriotic old
corps will be held to-morrow (Thursday)
evening, at St. AI ban's Hall. It is earnestly
desirtd that all tho active, contributing anj
honorary members should attend this meeting
and take part in the proceedings. There is
not a native citizen of this city who does not
feel some interest in the old Blues, as but fow
are not connected with Ibem by some tie. Let
a large crowd attend the meeting to-morrow
night, and give tho active members a helping
hand in reviving the corps in all the vigor and
usefulness of other days.
Knights of Pythias. —A new L'jdgo of
Knights of Pythias, under the name of Jeffer
son Lodge, No. 23, was organized Monday
night, in Jefferson ward. The following is a
list of the officers elected : K. T. Briggs, V.
P.; James T. Vaugban, W. C; Marion B.
Carter, V. C; J. A. Leckey, R. S., and J.
McDougal, G. This Lodge will start under
splendid auspices, having already on its roll
one hundred members. It is probable that
the first regular meeting will be held on Wed
nesday night next, and that Odd-Fellowa ball
will be selected as its permanent lodge-room.
The Hygeia Hotel at Fortress Monroe to
he Rebuilt.— Messrs. Kimberly and Willard, of
Washington city, have formed a partnership
for the rebuilding, on the same site, of the old
and popular Hygeia hotel at Portress Monroe,
which was destroyed by tbe military in 1882,
to give place to the guns of the fort, and
Messrs. K. and W. propose at once to com
mence work. The new hotel is to havo a
front of 3GO feet.
More Incompetency^ —The city is too
poor to pave the basin landing, the condition
of which is a disgraco to the community, but
is rich enough to dig up the firm gravel car
riage-way of Broad street, in front of the City
Hall, to replace it with macadamized pave
ment I Such incompetency in municipal af
fairs as tho present Council exhibits will soon
extinguish all hopes of prosperity for the city.
Samuel M. Page. —Tho coutinued caso
of Samuel M. Page, charged on warrant with
assaulting and beating James M. Hoge with a
stick on the 28th of last lnnntb, was again
called up for a bearing before Police Justice
White this morning, but owing to the fact that
Mr. Huge is unable to leave his room, the case
was again continued until tho 1-ltli, and Pago
admitted to bail in tho sum of $300, with A.
Moise, Jr., as surety.
Collector's Sale. —Rush Burgiss, KJ>t].,
will sell to-morrow, at 12 M., a lot of tobac
co, cigars, and a yawl boat, seized by hitn for
violation ul'the revenue laws. The sale will
take place at Myers' ware house, corner of
Seventeenth and Dock streets, and is worthy
the attention of dealers in such articles.
Fancy Camiva'. —Another carn'val on
skates is to take place on tbe 11th instant, at
Assemoly Hall. The first one given was a de
cided success,nnd it is proposed that this enter
tainment shall equal if notßurpass it in atl that
constitutes plenty of amusMneot and an agree
able time.

In obedience thereto, tbe sheriff of Gooch. (
land appeared in court wjtb James Shelton,
when Colonel Shields stated to tho court tbeir
presence and was directed lo proceed with tho
case, aud in pursuance thereof read the re !
turn of the sheriff to the writ, which was sub
stantially the same as tho following official '
statement of the clerk of the court :
Q oooal.mn C. 11., Va., April 3rd, 1871.
This is to certify that at a court hold for the conn
ty of Goochland, on the 21st day of February, 1871,
James rjhelton, (colored) was tried under nn indict t
mout lor larceuy, and tho jury summoned to try the ~
case, was composed of both white and colored meu,
whereupon the attc.riiey reprerei'ting tlio Common- *
we.lth, moved sai-1 court to exclude from suid !
jury one Isaac Brown and other colored men from 1
said jury, upon tho ground that by act of As3embly
of Hie Legislature ol Virginia, recently passed,
c -lored men could net sit ci Jurors until April Ist,
1871, which motion was objected to by prisoner's '
coun el, but sii-trr-lurd by the court. - I
And I do furthor certiff tbat the fact, ai to the ,
exclusion of said jurors, fails to epoear in tire reco-d k
of the case th-ough lnadvert-inco, not being re- '
quested to enter it by Commonwealth's attorney c
or counsel for i-.niil prisoner. i
J. W. Pleasasts, D. O.
for William Miller, clerk cf Goochland county.
Upon tho documentary and other evidence I
submitted, Colonel S. moved tho discharge of 1
the prisoner on tho ground that tho conduct of (
tho court in quashing the panel iiccnme ,
coioreii men mere on the jury, was iv viola
tion of the coastitntion of Virginia, and the '
constitution of the United States. '
Never was the rights of the colored citizens
more nobly defended than by Col. Shields, and ,
never was more righteous decision rendered
than when Judge Underwood discharged Jas. '
Shelton from custody because of tho open, '
wilful and deliberate violation of tbe laws, by '
those who have so persistently sought to defeat 1
tho plain provisions of their own constitution, i
made as it is, on higher grounds than most con- t
stitutions, for this one has tho additional dig
nity of being a solemn compact with the Con
gressoftho UnltedState9,tbegistofwhichisthe i
rights granted therein to the colored man, but \
which compact, as well as law, is and has been .
defiantly time and again broken by tbo very
bands that made it, in the manner complained '
of in this proceeding, or ways akin to it.
We trust there will be no more opposition to '
colored men exercising and enjoying their full
share of the rights promised in tho "great )
compromise"—the constitution of Virginia. ,

drawer. The smart rogue loft some remarka
ble coins in tho post-oflice drawer and ail the
