That this I8 not mera theory is evident, not only from tha faots aliready ad- duoed in connection with the various loarned professions, but from the experiencw of the Government {taolf in two of. its most impor- {ant Deparimonts, the Army and the Navy. Why is the army sure to bewell officored and falthfully served? Because its posts are .not filfed as thoso of the Civil Sorvice have been for the lnat forty years, Imagine tbat n Captain should recoive his appointmant be- causo he had been a good manager of ward meetings; that a Major should owe his place to having succesafully packed a nominating convention ; that a Colonel should receive his rank becauss ha carried an election for a ‘certmn member of Congress; 'and that -Goneral should be an editor promotedto a military position for his enthuaiastio support cf the Proaident in the last politicat cam- to think what an army we. shonld have; what lack of discipline thera would be in the ‘rank and file; what a low’ standard of char-- acter would provail among the officers; and what mcompetency would be exhibited on ,the fleld of battle. Fortunatoly, no such system: exists, but the army and the navy are officered by gontlemen eduocated profes- sionally for the purpose, and who entes after arigid examination, upon an houornble 1ife-work in the servico of their country. Why should other Departments of the Gov- Somo years since, wo were led to think " much of this point, by falling into conversa. 1ton, on a steamer, with an Austrian gontle- man of about 80 yents of age.
