Mr. E. H. Roberts ( ¥.) said, though not worthy, our civil service compared tavorably with those of other nations. He cited our rep- reentatives abroad, who, in character and standing, were, at least, the peers of those sent to our country by foreign uations, and said that our Internal Revenue, notwithstanding the great extent of territory, was collected at less cost than thatof Great Britain, and our eus- Tevenue was collected at a cost of 3-11 per while that of Great Britain cost 4 Yethe thought there might be provement, and he was WILLING TO MAKE THE EXPERIMENT. Preliminary failures often lead to tinal success, and if thix should prove a failure the result would be good. Mr. Finkeinburg (Mo.) advocated the sage of the biil. His experience had been that the bestowal of patronage had been a great au- yauce, and for one friend sscured, ten ene- mies were made. Mr. Bingham (Ohio) fiercely attacked the bil!. He repelled the insinuation made by Mr. Mc- Cormick, that members pleged their patronage for nomination and election. He had never done sucha hee gre were be to do so he woutd consider himself unworthy to yy hi seatin the House. If members coula uot be Virtuous without being forced to be so, they should abrogate thé offices they were unfit to fll.

He asserted that every department wasas honorable as ever be- fore in the history of thaovernment. Mr. Banks (Mass.) saiffthis bili did not reach the case. If gentlemen wished to escape au- novance they mnst escape the service. It was not so much the righis of Congress as the rights of the President in the administration of the goverrment. He had aright to all the advice and assistance he could command in such ad- ministration, and there were noneso well quail- fied to advise him as to his appointments in their districts as the members of gress, Mr. Garfield (Ohio) said that there were THREE THINGS which had been put the friends of this bill all through the ‘These were: First, the constitution; second, the interest of their great party; and third, that the civil service was so ee that there was no need to make it better. l¢ argued to show that the theory ef the con- stitution and the —— of the fathers were that the three branches of the government were ¢o-ordinate, and each was designed to be in- dependent ‘of influence from the other.

Mr. Garfield replied that be did not propo to allow himself to be brought out on anybody's race course in this way.

New Yorn, A 19.—The World says the charter of the committee of seventy, which passed the State legislature yesterday. is pre- poste At pr the only practical ques- tion is wbether Tweed's charter or the seventy’s charter is the worst internationhl. The Gover- bor may have to sign it, as the session is far ad- vanced, and he ir reduced t the chvuice of two evi WHAT THE HERALD says. The Hereid, giving the substance of the char- ter, says:—* It provides for an election for mayor ond aldermen on the 2ist of May. Nine aidermen are to be chosen from each senatorial distric! in New York,or forty-five in all, and an elector has the privilege of voting nine times tor @ single candidate. or of Sviding =p that nom- ber of ballots among several, as be may please. In the board of aldermen are vested all legis- lative authority, and exclusive power to appro- priate money for every object of city expen ture. They possess the key to the whole government, as they hold the pnree striny can cripple or extend the facilities of the sev- eral departments at their will. They also share in the executive branch of the government, as they elect four of the commissioners of each of the de; ts of public works and public parks, charities aud correction and finance, and Six commissioners of public safety. It will be secn, therefore, that the aldermen are the most powertul agency under the new charter, and when we remember the character of the men uraally elected to that position, we mast confess to some app as to the wisdom of this mixing up of the legislative and executive branches of the government.
