Here it has already grown into a gigantic power, capable of shifting the inspiration of a sound public opinion and of resisting an easy change of administration until misgovern ment becomes intolerable and public spirit has been sturig to the pitch of a civic revolu tion. The first step in reform is the eleva tion of the standard by which the ap pointing power selects agents to execute official trusts. Next.in importance is a conscientious fidelity in the exercise of the authority to hold to account and displace untrustworthy or incapable sub ordinates. The public interest, in an honest, skillful performance of. official trust, must not be sacrificed to the usufruct of the incumbents. After those immediate steps, which will in sure the exhibition of better examples, we may w isely go on to the abolition of unnecessary offices, finally to the pa- tit;nt, careful organization of a better civil service system' under the tests wherever practical of proved competen cy and fidelity. While much may he accomplished by these methods it might encourage delusive expectations if I withheld here the expression of my conviction that no reform of civil service in this country will be complete and permanent until its chief magistrate is constitutionally dis qualified for re election, experience hav ing repeatedly exposed the futility or self- imposed restrictions by candidates or in cumbents. Through this solemnity only can lie ho effectually delivered from his greatest temptation to misuse the power and patronage with which the Executive is necessarily charged. CONCLUSION. Educated in the belief that it is the first duty of a citizen of the Republic to take his fair allotment of care ana trouble in public affairs, I have for forty years as a j rivato citizen fulfilled that duty. Though occupied in an unusual degree during all that period with the concerns of govern-' ment, I have never acquired the Habit of official life. When, a year and a half ago, I entered upon my present trust, it was in order to consummate reform to which I had already devoted several of tlie best years of my life, and knowing as 1 do therefore from fresh experience how great is the difference betweer gliding through an official routine and working out a reform of systems and policies, it is impossible for me to contemplate what needs to dc done in the federal adminis tration without an anxious sense of the difficulties of the undertaking. If sum moned by tlie suffrages of my country men to attempt this work, I shall endeav or, with God’s help, to be the efficient in strument of their will. Samuel J Tildes. To Gen. John A. McClcrnand, Chair man ; Gen. W. B. Franklyn, Hon. J. J. Abbott, Hon. H. J. Spaunliorst, Hon. H. J. Redfield, Hon. F. S. Lion and others, committe, Ac. Having kicked every honest man out of the Traasury Department, Grant has now turned his attention to the Post Of fice Department. Chief Clerk Stowell received his notice to quit and went. His only misdemeanor was that he sympathiz ed with Jewell in his desire to run the Post Office Department on honest busi ness principles. Special Agent Sperry will be the next victim. His offense is more rank. He went to Connecticut and took part in the reception to Jewell on his return to his own people. Woodward, Chief Special Agent is also to go at once, and it is said a number of others will soon follow. T HE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN OF 1807, which includes National, State and coun ty elections, and which will undoubtedly be the most active and hotly contested of any since the memorable canvass of 181)0, is now fairly opened. The National TVmocrntic Party will this year make a hold, vigorous, and doubtless successful struggle lor the maintainance and supremacy of ihose prin ciples which are vita! to the prosperity of tlie Republic and essential to the well-being of the people. In addition to the Presidential election, the people of Georgia and Florida will elect new Slate governments. In Florida the campaigns promises to he unusually vigor ous, and there is a probability that for the first time since the war the people of that Radical-ridden State will elect a Democratic State government. In these campaigns the people of the South are deeply interested ; and every intelligent citizen, who has the welfare of liis country and liis section at heart, should acquaint himself with every detail of tlie great work of redemption and reform that is now going on. To this end he should subscribe to and as sist in circulating the SAVANNAH MORN ING NEWS, an independent Democratic newspaper, of pronounced opinions and fear less, in their expression ; a paper that is recognized everywhere as the best daily in tlie South. Its editorial department is vig orous, thoughtful, and consistent, while its news and local departments are marvels of industry anil completeness. Its department of Georgia and Florida affairs is not. confin ed to a mere barren summary of events transpiring in'those States, but is enlivened by comment at once apt, timely, and racy.
