GARFIELD AND THE OIVIL-SELVIGE, Tho Democratic newspapers have placed an wiwarranted and unfalr construction upon that portion of Gen. Garfictd's letter of ace ceptance which relates to the Civil Serve. itis pretended that he has declared his in- tention to give to Senators and members of Congress complete control over tho disthi- bution of Execulive patronage, and tigthe has givon expreasion to this purposo in order tosccure the active ald of the “machinb? politiclans in the pending ,campaign, ahs fs not n single sontence nor a single word‘jh Gen, Gartiolt’s letter which warrants atietl A statement. All he wroto about the Civil Service {a contained in the following para- graph: The nppolntinant of oltizens to the various Excoutive and Judicial oftices of tho Govern: mont la,perhipa, tho most diMoult of all tho dutios whieh tho Constitution hag imposed upon tho Executive, The Constitution wisely de- mands that Congress shill codperato with the Excentive Bepurtinont in placing the Chyil Serv- {ee un n better bala.

Appointments to tho military and naval service are so regulated by Inw and Custom av to leave. ‘Dut ttle ground of complaint.” It may not be wise to make slinilar regutations by law for tio ClyiServico; bat, without Invading tho authdri- ty or necessary: dlagrotion of the Exceutiva, Congress should devise # inethod that will di termine the temira of ditice, and grently redue tho uncertuinty which tnkes that xervico #0 w+ certain und unsatisfactory. With ollicer of his rights use eltizen, tment should require hint to dischnrge nit bls ville olul duties with futellfzence, elticiency,: and falthfuinces, ‘To select wisely from our vot population those who- are best fitted for the many olices to be fitted requires an acqunint- mice far boyond the range of any one Inin The Exeentive should, herefore. week nnd, ree celve the luformution and nasistance of thoso whose knowledge.of tha communities in whiet the duties are to be performed best, qualities thom to ale I muting tho wisest cholec, Gen. Gnriield’s Ideas are very clearly ex- pressed, aud embrace (1) tho beltet that Con- gress should pass proper legislation regulat- Ing.the tenure of oftce In the Civil Sbrvico and otherwise assisting the Executive in pincmg the service upon a better basis; (8) that such legislation should not establish the same rigi( system which prevails In the army and navy; and (8) that the Executive, who Is required toappoint men to offiee In all sections of the country without personal knowledge of thelr qualifications, should seok information and advice from those fa tiller with the communities where appolut- Inents are made, All this ts in keeping with the platform adopted by the Clitcago Con- vention and In the spirit of practical Civil- Serviee reform, . 2 Every effort that has been mada in the di; rection of reforming tho Civil Service has met with hindrances and embarrassments in the nbsenco of legislative authority, for the establishment and maintenance of proper regulations. Qenuine, radical, and perma- nent reform must come from Congress. It is not In the nature of things that such effort should originate with the ofiiccholding class; nor Jn the power of any President to instt- tuto reform mensures that shall endure. and ‘be binding upon his successors. Clvil-Servica refonn in Great Britain was, achieved throtigh Parliament, and ts now fixed by the law of precedent as firmly, as by statute, Competitive examination, promotion for merit, and tenure of office during good be- havior aro essential conditions to n thorough and business like system of Clvil Service; but they can only be sceured through, legls- Intive ‘enactment, This fact is fully recop- nized in the Republican platform, which do- mands “the codperation of the Legisintive with the Executiva Department of the Gov- ernment, and that Congress shall so tegisiate that fitness, ascortalued by proper practical tests, shall admit to the public service.” Gen, Garfield makes a similar demand, It was proper and thinely for Gen, Garfield to point out in his letter of acceptance that, while he demanded legislation for the im- provement of the Civit Service, he was not in favor of tho same régime which governs the army nud navy, A similar system applied to. tho Civil Servico might prove to ba os embar- rassing and fnypracticable xs the present sya- tem: 1s loose and irresponsible, Then promo- tions could only be mnde In the Ifhe of sentor- ity without regard to merit or skill, and removals would be possible ‘only after: trial and conviction for misbehavior or in- competence before some tribunal correspond: Ing to ncourt-martinl, Such rules would be unbusinesslike, and might do more injury to the eflictency of the Civil Service than tho present wide discretion: intrustad to the Ex- ecutive or the evils of Congressional dicta- tion. What is needed is tho establishment of fitness ahd permanence In the Government service to prevent wholesale and summary removals and improper appointments toserve partisan ‘interests, When Gen. Garfleld says that tho Execu- tive cannot personally tmow the qualifier tous of all the men whom he Js required to appoint to public oflce in evury gectloitot the Union, and that he should seok informa- -tlon and ‘nasistauce from those who are familiar with. the various communities, he glyes expression to an obvious truth ajda wise practice, But this Is a vory different thing from what 13 known as Congressional Interference and dictation. It is not cquly- alent to siiying:to Congressmen, “ Thore aro so many oltices to be Milled in your district; pick out your. retalners and send tho list {nto me”; but ft means that, whon an appuintient is to be inde’ and number of applfeants appear with whoso qualifications the President ly unfamiliar, he will consult Congressmen as presumably. representative men In regard to the relative quallfications of such applicants, No Ine ‘teliigent or practleal man has ever quey- toned the propriety of such a course. It wis tho ‘polley ‘pursited by all tho early Prast- dents, But this polfey degenerated Into o vicious perversion when ‘Congressmen’ as sumed the right to dictate the appolutments and when the Benate began to refuse tho coullrmation of any appotntinent which was Mot made by direction or permission of the Sonators from the particularState tn which the appointee Hved, Theso practices gro abuses, ‘Choy constitute tho party spoils ays-' tom. ‘They are in nowilse necessary to the policy whieh Gen. Garfield has announced; on the contrary, hla annonncement clearly defies the Mmitation which he would put unon Congresstonal Intlueres over Executive nppolntivents—vizs the contributton, of tne, formation and advive when Congressmen are asked for thelr opinions... - FORNEYISM, , . 4 Mr. Jolin W, Fornvy ts doing what he can sto attract public attention to himself again, Mt. Forney has beon before the public for “many years. Whey tho editor of a Demo- erate paper in Philadelphia muny years ago “tho Democrats ln the House of Representu- tives ct In caucus aud selected a Southern man for Speaker and a Northern man (For ney) tor Clerk, When they came to yoto the Southern mun was clected Speaker, but tha Southern Democrats refused to vote for Fornoy and ‘elected a Southern’ man Clerk, 14 wos not until atter, some years moro of devotion to the South that the South would consent that ho should be recognizod as a Democrat, : ¥ Twonty yoarg ago Mr. Fornoy, declared that he had got through with hls-labvors for the slavoholding section, and he became a vigorous atid noted Nationalist, and through his “two papors, both dally,” denounced the heresy of State supremacy. He -was@con- yert to the doctrine of the supreme vallditv ‘ of the Constitution and laws of Congress, and as n convert his zeal was unilintted, ie opposed slayery more violently than Sunner, he rlyated if not surpassed Thad Stevens tn his demands for punishing treason, and thyught Trumbulls radical and sweeping measures of reconstruction too tame and rentie, During ali these years he has been a high tariff man, ons whose protection theo- ries amounted ton prohlbitton of lnports. When 9 few weoks ago Hancock wis nom- fated at Cinelinat! Forney weakened; in ‘fact, timay be sald he“ floppod,"—that fs, he ent his twonty ydars’ record ag n° Natlonnl- Ist without blinking, apology, oxplanation, or dofonse. He is s Natlonallst no longer, Ile {3 now supporling n State supremacy candidate on a free-trade plat- form!

Mr. Forney ling been for sume thne pub- Ushing a paper dovoted to the admiration of himself and a few old friends, In this Httle elrele ho reg¢rds himself and 1s regnrded ns anornele. He has declared hinself in favor of the restorntion of tha Democratic party, and tho Democratic party is trying to magnify tho return of the prodigal who has wasted hls-substancs and returns to the old State- supreinncy friends of lis youth, ‘The cou try ins Jong since moved away front Aly Forney, and there are but few, If any, who will turn back at hls enll. : THE CITY-WATER SUPPLY. The City Engineer‘has addressed a: letter to the, Mayor calling his attention to the in- creased constunption of water, He ‘states that the present consumption cquals seven eightls of the capacity of nll the punplng- works; that for the week onding July 11 the average dally consumption was 62,600,000 gal- Jong, ahd on “Saturday Inst the quantity pumped reached 06,000,000 gallons,—tha rate during portions,of the day rising to 80,000,000 gallons. ‘Tha presont plpo system equals 450 mules, and {3 Increasing every yehr, “The total piunping capacity at present {3 100,000,000" gallons por dry, and the Engineer therefore sasks that the machinery necessary to coin- pleto the West Side. pumps nccord- ing to tho original design be ordored at once, becnuse, us It will require two years to have the engines bullt and put In place, the possible supply of water will be in tho meantime exhausted, and In case of -nccl- dent the suffering nay be severe, The Mayor In presenting this communication to the Councl! repeated the recommendations of the Engineer and appenled: to the Council for authority to contract for the additional machinery... Med + The recommendation that the additional machinery to complete the West Side Water- Works bo contracted for {s of \tsolf proper cnough, aud the Connell might well pass the necessary ordinance now, as it will tako along Ume to obtain the engines, But this is not tho first time: the water-sup- ply has been discussed since Mr. Harrison has been Mnyor, and-It seems that he eannot enlurge his ylows as to the actual and future avants of the city, nor ns to the proper means to meet those wants. The increase of the power nt the West Side works is but ona item in the gengral scheme, A yenr or more ago this subject was ‘dis- cussed In'an elaborate report made to the Clt- izons’ Asyoctation. That roport was nade by practical, intelligent hiep, who are, not pres- ent or progpectivy candiiates for office, aut who addressed themselves to the considera tion , of the ‘subject as business men, ap- plying to the matter.tho same consid- eration which ‘they would apply to thelr own personal affatrs. One of theso gentiomen, Mr. Jnuckson, .!s second to no uthor in the ability to reach a cloar and wige Judginent of such aimatter, Care- ful, prudent, well-informed, ‘and wholly familinr, with the subject, lls conctustons, which wore embodied In that report, com- mended themselves to the judginent of all who pald any attention to the subject. ‘Tho-present pumps are located (1) at the northeast Hue of thd eltyon Chicago uve- nue; (8) the othor at the junction of Asli- Innd avenue and, ‘Twenty-second streot. From these two points the force Ig given to supply tho water to all tho other parts of the clty, Including the northwest, the southeast, and the central. portions. ‘The central part of the city—that fs, central In tho mat- ter pf consumption of water for mne- chanical’ and all other purposes—Ilea midway between ‘these pumps. In case ofextensive fires, the same section would need the most vigorous supply of water. The forco, then, needed to furaish the grentest body of water when it ls most demanded comes from the extremities of the city, and {a weakest where It should be tha strongest, ‘This anomaly was pointed out In the report we have mentioned, and theremody proposed was that a -third pumping-cstablishment should be provided: og near the centro of the elty asmight be found most advantageous, that the power and force given by the engines inight be distrivuted from the contra ns ‘well as froin the extremities, and thus equalized {ni all parts of the clty.

Amid im- posing ceremonies to celebrate the destruc- tion of tha Bastile, tho President of tho Republic presented the Colonel of each regl- ment with the colors it $4 to bear, and the re- ciplents, several hundred, in number, tool an onth to defend thom and to be loyal to tho Republican Government. It was nota vary attractive day for the monarchists. It ro- called to thom the fates of, royalty under the Napoleons, whon the peovla, dazzle with Pageants, shouted for the monarchy, and it aignalized to them the strengthening of re- publicanism, It was a spectacle they could Tot bear, this great outpouring of the peopla to testify thelr devotion to the Republic, aud all who could left Paris, that they might not even by thelr presence sliow approval of tho ceremonies, Thesa coramonics. were are ranged upon 9 colossal scale, and were {n- vested with unusual splendor, The exterior quarters of the’ city wero benutifuliy decorated with banners and emblems, Plensure faira were opened in all the vacant spaces. ‘Che boule- vards, gardens, parks, and promonndes were Munlnated with parti-colored lights, Tho Luxembourg and Elysées gardens were transformed into fairy lands with i!lumina- tions, lighted fountahis, and froworks, st tine nienge expense. The President gave a grand military dinner, and Gambetta and othor Re- publican statesmen gave large and brilliant receptions, ‘The thentres sud muale-halls provided attractive’ entertalumonts, Tho great conductor, Pasteloyp, at tho tend of an finmense orchestra, gave open-air con- corts, ‘Tho ‘milltary display was a gorgeous one, The whole city was given over to pa- geant, and feasting, and genural jubilation; and thousands upon thousands of people flocked from every part of France to attond the fete and participate in the general re- | Joicing. As compared with our republican sim- nilcity, at first sight this great display ap- pears childish and perhaps unnecessary; but it must bo remembered that the French peo- ple are more ‘exeltabie. than we, and aro childish {n' thelr enjoyment of such celebrn- | tions. The Napoleons retained thelr strong- hold upon French loyalty with magnificent spectacles that entertained the peopte, With these appenis to their love of show they blinded the people to thelr personnal grasp of power,and made them forget tho evllsof thelr rule. Remembering how.n Iittl buneonbe and sensation in the way of patriotic specta- -cle will attract our own people, fs it re- markable that the more excitable and inereurlal French people should rush to the enjoyment of this f0te, which was Intended to symbollze to thom the glory and power of thelr repubiienn form of gov- ernment, and to show to them that the Re- public as well as tho Monarchy !s reply to amuse, and entertain, aud Ulitstrate Its power with all-the pomp of pageants and the enthu- ‘slasm of public displays? The pageants of the Napoleons were typical of personal pow- erand victories, ‘The presont fete celebrates tho triumph of the people whose fings have not been humiliated by defeat, who-have founded a Republic upon the ruius of Em- pire, and have Inaugurated an cra of pros- perity and a strong Government hinmediately? ‘efter crushing : defeat by a foreign foe, - The old flags which were Jowered befora tho vice torlous Germans are Intd away, and on the now flags of the Republic thete Is a yet no stain, m . 1 ‘The strength of the new Governmont ts tho Idea which is sought to be impressed upon the French people and to kindle.their pride aud quicken thelr devation to thie Republic tho purposo of tho féte, It is a test of its strength that {t has granted mnnesty to the exiled Conimunists and allowed tem to ro- turn and-mingle with tho great, crowds in thelr rojoloings. 1f thore Is any danger from these inen It proposes to nect itdn its own ground.
