It is the nim of Tus Tamonz to supply the readers, through tho investiga. tions of Mr. Grong, reliable information concerning the details which writers in describing their observations usually over- look or omit,—fnformation of tho keenest intorest to the mechanic or laboring man in the overcrowded industrial centres of tho North who is looking about him with a view to making a now departure in his ocenpation and mode of life, What is preaented in these lotters can ba received with the cer- tainty that it is tho exact truth, colored by neither favoritism nor prejudice, Up to Rept. 14, tho Russian logs in killed and wounded in the operations before Plevna is stated to be 12,500, and that of the Ron- manians alittle over 3,000: The Turks‘claim to have won a decided victory on Saturday, but the probabilities’ arn“that thero was no sorious fighting on’ that day.

If there bo au Intontion to organizo this opposition with the hope of crippling tho Admluistration so that it will be poworloss to carry out Its pro- poser reforms, the New York Oustom-Iouse is very apt to bo tho pivot on which such a movement will turn, sinco it has for many years been the contre of machIno ” politica in Now York, and a anodel of that systony for the rest of the country, Hitherto tho malcontonts of the Ropublican party have beon morely morose and sullen in thoir displeasure, and’ ther antagonism hag boen maulfested inasneaking fashion that ron. dered open attack ond repniag put of tho question. It would bo better, sperhups, if some such ovent as the romoval of the chiefs of the New York Custom-louse should bring ons full discussion of the now Clvil-Sorvico policy in the United States Sonate, and in. duce the politicians of the country, both Io- publicans aud Democrats, to chooue between tho old ond the now regime, Suchadivision would givo the country an opportunity to da- termine whothor tho men now intrusted: with publlo. affairs aro inclined ¢o an aban- donmont of tho “machine” system, and, if not, then to All their places with men who aye. tt is an issue in which the Domocrats must. declare themselves practically ox wellus the Republicans, ‘hough President Haves wus elected by Republican votes, his efforts to institute a new order of things in the Civil Service gre non-partisan, and they will recoive support and opposition, ac- cording to tho patriotic and the machine pro- peusities of diferent individuals, among the Democrats ax well ds the Republicans. It will probably bo to tho ultimaty advantage of the country if tho issuesball be openly treat- ed as a leading fcaturo of tho Congressional debates at the coming scssion, ‘There is unquestionably an abiding conf. dence among the people not only as to the honesty of the President's purpose to estab- lish a lasting improvomont of tho Civil Serv- ico on tho basis of the Cincinnati platform and bis letter of acceptance, but also in tho wisuom of the methods which he iy auploy. MONDAY. SEPIT:/MBER. 17, 187 ing tothat end, Tho believerain the “ma. chino” rystem nro necking to make a haudle of the very few removals that have beon made by the President to chargo that he has herein violated tho principle of permanency in offica, during good behavior which he emphasized in his letter of ac. ceptance as an casential featura of, Civ- Service reform, But there {s ‘this nn- swer tomnake to this chargo of inconstst- ency and intimation of insincerity. Civil- Servico reform fs not an accomplished fact, bnta thing yot to be achieved. Thero are no laws to govern it and no precedents to gaide it, It ism the hands of tho President 80 for, Ifo has come into office with tho purposo of giving this reform lus chief at- tention, Ile finds the Government placcs lnrgely filled by men who havo held them for many years, and who havo been schoolud to belicvo that their tonuro rests mainly upon their party services, It is not cary to tench old politicians now habits; those who have ‘beon accnstomed to rmnning things do not readily yield up the advantages which the Government offices, patronage, and infin- ence give them. Nevortheless, tho Presi- dent made no sudden nor sweeping changes, but set the example of pormanency by rotnining os 8 whole tha officials whom his predecessor had appointed, though somo of them had bean nnmed only n fow days provions to President Mayes’ in- anguration, Thon ho iesued the well-known order, which forms the basis of the reform, forbiddlng the officers of the Civil Servico to take au active part in the work of party or- ganization, rinning caucuses and convon- tions, dictating nomiuntions, enforcing com- pulsory assessments on subordinates, ‘eter This order would have been empty and meaningless had the President been content tolet things drift along in the old way. It becamo the duty of the President, then, to retgin those officers of tho Civil Sorvico who would co-operate heartily with him in planting Civil-Sorvico roform finnly, and to get rid of thoso who manifested resistance or showdd thomselvea lukewarm nud doubt- ful in their attitude, In oll tho changes that have bean mado, thero'has beon nono that wo know of unless there was cithor somo cause furnished by tho old incumbent, or whero the néw appointment was not mode for tho purpose of securing on officer whom the Prosidont Anows to bo in perfect sympa. thy with the new order of things which he is socking to ostablish, Wo cannot think of any other intelligent method by which tho President could pro- ceed to establish on intelligent and perma- nent Civil Sorvice, Under our present laws and Constitution, it is only by precedent and good faith thatn permanent tenure during good bebavior and the business principlo of administering Government offices can bo socurod. It would be a bad precedont to ro- tain men in the service who have beon con. spicuously identified with tho old system, and it would bo injudicious not toseck tho services of men known to be thoroughly in harmony with tho principles of the new sys. tem. If there is to bo n determined oppor. tlon to tho Prosidont’s Civil-Sorvica policy, lot it bo opon ond doclared, eo that tho poo- plo may know how to shapo their infuonce in the controversy. ‘ TWEED'S REVELATIONS. Tho -rovolations of Twrep are Positively startling. The country is prepared to hear of anything almost in tho way of political corruption, and evon in tho way of the bo. trayat of fiduciary trusts, ‘That is tho roling erlme of the day. Tho revolations in South Carolina disclose a long-continucd robbery of the Btato not only by successive Legisla- tures utterly dishonost, but with tho co- operation of mombers of all tho other branches of tho Stato Government. It hag been pleated that the Legislatures in South Carolina wore mainly composed of nogrocs without previous education or experience, and with no vory clear notion of what they were doing, ‘They wero poor,—ponniloss; thoy had no trade orbusincas, nor the means even to clothe themsclvea as their official asaoclatos woro clothed; they regarded thom. selves as ofllcers of tho State, and ontitled toall tho omoluments and perquisites that might pertain tothe dischargo of their dutios, Thoy naturally considored that logistation wise and proper which tho managers wore willing to pay for, and a bill was specially coumendable in thoir eyes when a vote for it was compensated by $100 or $500.. Bat theso wera poor, ignorant blacks, froshly transplanted from tho cotton-field to tho State-House, No such apology or oxtenua- tion can bo pleaded in the caso of the Now York Legislature. The Senate of that Stato was composed of vetcran statesmon, able, experienced, and educated men, selectod for their capacity, and presumably ‘for thelr in- tegrity, Twexp required for lis porsonal profit and the protection ‘of all his schomeu of public plunder s now charter for the City of Now York. It was cssential that tho poworsof tho municipality should be arranged sud distributed so that ho, concentrating supremo authority in his own hands, could rnleasho pleaxed, protected against inter- ference or investigation by othora, and able to pockot tho public funds atwill, The charter invested Hazx, Connotry,and Tween with abeolute powora of oxpendituro, ond inode them auditors of their own accounts, To secure tho possago of that charter he eaponded over $000,000 for votes in tho Togislatuyo, Ho oxplains his course of action, Ho hold personal conforonces with a largo num- ber of Senators, ‘Tho Republicans ho pur. chased direct with bribos averaging $40,000 each, Tho Democrats ho purchased with money, aud with nominal ofticcs in which they had nothing to do and drow Jargo pay. Having concluded his terms of purchase of tho Sunators, 8 caucus of ‘the Hepublican Senators was hold, at which it was decided to yote {gr Twezxn's charter; and in the Sonato every NMepublican Sonator except one voted for the chartor, In tho samo way bo got all the Democratic yotew with ono or twa oxcoptions, Sonator Winstow was pald 8500,000, and out of that pald the other Senators the prices agrucd on for their votes, which for the principal 8en- utoms was $410,000 cach. ‘fhe Democrats were also paid, and large number of thom gud their friends wero quartored on the pub- lic, Others wero regularly in the pay of ‘Tweev, Oanzy Hatt’s complicity in all the frauds, and in tho distribution. of tho plun- der, ls now openly proclaimed. by Tween, who does not hesitate ta avow what ho do nied in the earlier days of ‘bis troubles, that he bribed members of the Legislature for thoir votes ‘fho names of the Sonators giv. on as thoxso to whom mouey was paid direct- ly are Wivatow, Woon, Bowzs, Monzn, Woop, Frost, Nosroy, Exwoop, Baaxp, Hart, Bropuy, Bsowx, Mavaicy, Cuxames, Batpwix, Gnrauas; others were paid indirectly.

This papor was writen by O'Bnrex, who had been acting as Twr en's clerk, and had access to the allthe paper), In that statement, Sonator Woovrs, wir> has been a lending membor of tha Senate, and is yot, waa implicated. as having beers bribed by Twerep, Woon denied the wly jlo story as false, nnd a legisintive commit ico of in- vestigation unanimonsly nequitted him. ‘Twrerp, howover, was not a wity esa before that Committes. ‘The morality of tho transacti¢m is shown in the arguments botweon Tween and tho corrupt Senators, Here is ono case: Aa to Senator Mixsen, Tweens hl the talk with him was positive and direct, and the understand~ ing was that ‘be (Twrnp) was ver y anrtons to pnee the bl.

Tn his dealings with o' hors, the value of tho lull to ‘weep and h'.s nssociates was made tho basis of tho clair a for compensation for tho vote.

The revelatio na e:chibit an oxtent of official dishonesty urviequoled in tho history of legislative corruption. ‘Tho porsonal dis- honesty of the members throws tho dis- elosnres in tho Credit-Mobilier caso and in the Pacific Mail ¢ nso wholly inthe shade. It would scora that, with two excoptions, avery member of the Sennte voted for Tween's charter, and voted for it for a consideration. Never }yofore, we suppose, waa thero such an unanimous sale of legislative votes as this uno thus divulged by tho man wko peratnally boright ond paid for them,’ It was this charter which vested Twzep, Con- Now Ly, and Hany with the legal powor which enbled thorn to carry ont the wholesale feauds and rerbberiea which have, becnuso of tuolr magnitade and their character, becoma ‘historical.

Not a kind word has been said of hin since bu first stopped ashore, The Bashi-Bazouks havo not been a whit moro. brutal to the poripatetic Bulgarian than tho people of Europe to this hamble but persevering visitor from tho Black Hills. In France they plowed up tho fields aud burlod him under the furrows, only to find him who was buried alone resurrecting in choorful profusion and with a largo family depending upon him for support. In Ger- many they covered him wig kerosono ond cremated him, with tho only rosult of con- verting him into cast-stecl! and increasing his Appetite from a mero local desire for pota- toes to the most comprehensive inclinations, tucluding within its range overything from ’ for atuda and pin-hends, axbbage to caviar, with remote possibilities af monus disastrons to pancakes ond Esel- wurst. In England they have attacked him with neta of Parliament as a Snark and a Boojuin, have hurled debater, bills, and even Biuo-Books at him, aud sought to legistate him to death, without any result, Already, like his Brazilian brothor. ho is sought after Tho nverngo Brit- ish mniden’s outfit of ntntionory is not com. plete nntesa the Doryphora with ten lives figures above the date. ‘Tho sorvant-girl in the aren, who laa received one of the gonuino sort sont her in a pill-box from her cousin this side of the Atlantic, is an object of interest in the whole neighborlood, and enjoys a local fame with the possessor of an Enst-Indin cockatoo or the owner of an Egyptian mummy. One English aciontist haa read a paper upon him before the British Association in which ho naively assumes that tho wenther is too damp for the Duryphora in England. This would imply an nssnmption on tho part of tho English sciontiat that the Doryphora lions wenk lungs, takes cold easily, is rheumatic in his tendencies, goos ronnd sneezing whon he wots his feot, gota hay-fevar from too much fog; consequently will have hectic flushes and hacking coughs, and go off in n galloping consumption. All thia gocs to show that, whatever olse the English scientint may kuow, he docs not know the Deryphora with ton lives, He hns yet to find that the Doryphora can accommodate himself to all cirenmstauces nnd conditions; that he is a citizen of the world; that ho wontd straddle the Equator or roost on the North Pole with equal complacency if he wero only sure there wera polato in’ the vicinity; and that for ways that are dark and tricks thatare vain he can discount the henthen Chines, It wonld bo o enfe rulo for this scientist to follow to assumo that when ho expects tho Doryphora to act in a certain mannor, as sny other bird, benst, fish, or insect wonld do, he will not in precisely the opposite manner, Tho only sensible thing for the English to do is to accept him na ona of the fnevitabilities of natura, like thoir In- dian famines and cyclones.
