Seine "years ago, when Morrissey followed 'milling' for a living, and attempted to fight ovor-the line, he was arrested and bi ought be? fore Judge Bishop. He pleaded guilty, and was fined (SQ*- He responded la a polite man? ner, pulled out his purse, paid.the fine, bowed to the Judge and departedX^ie parties have not met stace.

The shot may he |. either red hot or cold 4Qie gun ls circular, ?{ and ^^H??g^?^'pf heavy Iron plato lefter;"upon one aide ls a t iel to convey the balls .Lhrough' to the ] place there within living memory. Thc most solid edifices, those which seemed best fitted to resist the action of the flames, wero .'burnt like so many houses of cards. It was Impossible to check the progress of the confla? gration. Pera was ou 2re in fifty places at once, and was, so to speak, surrounded by a circle of flames. A stroDg northwest wind was blowing at the time, and lt was this which rendered all human effort unavailing. The fire, which broke out at 2 o'clock in the after? noon, did not, in fact, cease until lt had burnt itself out at midnight. Great exertions had since been made by the Turkish Government to relieve the distress occasioned by this terri? ble disaster. -One of the most terrible kerosene calami? ties we ever heard of ls mentioned In the Cin? cinnati papers of Saturday. The people in one of the principal streets wero suddenly ap? palled by the spectacle of a Mrs. Bickford (a young and pretty woman) rushing about among them. She was a perfect mass of fire from head to foot, the long spires of flame raised several feet above her head, and flaring out from her body in every direotlon. The crowd attempted with their hats and hands as well as they were able to extinguish the flames, which were burning fiercely. A blanket was at last brought and thrown around ber, smothering the fire, but not until every shred of her cloth? ing was burned to ashes, and the hoops of her skirt heated to a red beat, deeply imbedded in her quivering flesh. Such an event is dreadful enough to make one wish there were no kero? sene. ' : ; _. Civ ll Service Reform. . There are two points to which the long? headed men of the country "are directing their earnest attention-the representation of minorities, and the reform of the civil ser? vice! In their tarn all political parties are galled by the insolent rule of a bare majori? ty, and the conviction is fast assuming prac? tical shape that minorities, as well as ma? jorities, have their rights;' and are fully enti? tled to a voice in the legislation of the coun? try and the direction of its public affairs. And the evite of the present system of dis? tributing official patronage as the reward of political fealty are no less flagrant, and no less notorious. The spolia pf office are now given to the official victor. As each election comes round, the successful candi? dates oust the unfortunate officials who hap? pen to belong to the opposing party, or who vjere appointed by ita leaders. ' Their expe? rience, their integrity and their skill count for nothing. Out they must go to make way for the henchman of an incoming Secretary, or th? wife's third cousin of a dubious Congress - mau. To be on the winning side is the only test of merit. . And it stands to reason that the "ins" will fight as hard, to retain their places, as the "outs*' will fi.?ht to conquer a claim to the luscious delights of office. These contending ibterests account for rsuch of the chicanery and corruption which make party politics a national shame and reproach. They induce the office-holder to submit to a Mack-mailing process, to be used in bribes by the party upon whose fortunes depends his continuance in office, and the daily bread of his wife and children. They lead the lean-vi8aged demagogue to spare no pains, np trick and no subterfuge, to carry, by book or by crook, a party election which will give bim a claim for some pleasant place varying from a foreign consulate, or a first class collectorship, to a postmaster-ship in a tenth-rate town. FitnessN and-experience, in ninety-nine cases ont of the hundred, have nothing to do with appointments to, or re? movals from, public office. Political activi? ty and voting power are the gauge of capaci? ty and worth. These facts can no longer be ignored. The sentiment in favor of Civil Service Reform grows stronger every day, and there is reason to hop j that Mr. Jen ekes, its pioneer champion, will live to see the final triumph of the cause for which he has so faithfully aud heartily labored. The Fortieth Congress did nothing in the direction of Civil Service Reform, and the Forty-first Congress will do no more. But Mr. Jenckes is used to disappointments ; he bas learned, by experience, the impractica? ble, unmalleablesortof materials with which he bas to deal, and he is doubtless satisfied to wait until Providence and the popular vote give us another House more able to un? derstand, and more disposed to obey, the wishes of the people in this respect. It is true that Mr. Jenckes's bill lias received the hearty commendation of nearly all the lead? ing journals of the country, and that memo? rials and petitions in its favor, numerously signed, kave been seut up from various quarters of the land. But little impression is produced upon Congress by such means. To use a homely phrase, the effect of these egressions of popular opinion upon the rep? resentatives of the people is like that of pouring water on a duck's back. Congress may deride the Civil Service bill, may play with it and refuse to pass iL But in the meantime the people at home are realizing more fully every day the necessity of the adoption of some such measure to re? form and purify the administration of the government, and may hereafter send men to fill the places of the present opponents of the bill who will carry the great reform into execution. A cheering sign in this respect, destined to be, we hope, but -one among many of a similar character, is noted by the Baltimore Sun os coming to us from Pennsylvania, and from a Congressional district which includes part of Philadelphia, a State and cit}" never famed for the supe? rior freedom of its politics from corrupt and contaminating influences. Mr. Kelley, who had written to his constituents that he would accept a renomination ouly upon condition tbat pending the passage of a Civil Service bill he was not to be called upon to act as an office or patronage broker, was renomi? nated in a party convention, on the 15th of Jane, by a vote of 64 to 27, and among the resolutions unanimously adopted on tue oc? casion was the following: '?Resolved, That we fully endorse the posi? tions taken by him (Mr. Kelley) in his letter O^ftMaxch 8, 1870, addressed to a large number of Ipi' constituents, allowing his name to be submitted for renomination, and until the pas? sage of a Civil Service bill by Congress we re comjgejHfhlm to observe the provisions of the one submitted during this session." We are glad to be able to score "one" in favor of Mr. Kelley. Upon the platform of dClvil Service Reform he stands squarely erect. In England the whole system of official patronage, or, in other words, of official cor? ruption, is in progress of demolition. The wages of sin is not place and profit. More than ten years ago, if we remember aright, e civil appointments of the. East India Gov. eut were thrown open to public compe ' titioQ. The competitive plan has been tho? roughly tested. : It does not come iip t? .the idea of ita enthusiastic friends; but it justi? fies in noway the forebodings of its foes. The double-first University men do not banker after the Indian loaves' and fishes. The senior wranglers do not aspire to a soli? tary clerkship at Bundelcore, or a deputy collectorship at Moorshebedad. But there is no stint of intelligent, well-educated young men, who pass the examinations with flying colors, and make as thoroughly good public servants as need be desired. And when the crisis comes we do not despair of finding in the civil service a newUliv?, a new Lawrence, with the pluck and the brain to save India from the rebel, or to drive across the fron? tier the outposts of Russia. Mr. Gladstone, by a stroke of the pen, has now extended the system of competitive ex? aminations for offices under the home gov ernmenL Now anybody who wants an of? fice in England may present himself for ex? amination in regard to his physical, mental and moral qualifications, his general educa? tion, and his special fitness for the particular position to which he aspires. The candi? date who passes the best examination, and is reported by the examiners to be in gene? ral the best qualified, receives the appoint? ment on probation for six months, during which time his capacity will be further test? ed. At the end of that period, if the result is satisfactory, he 'will be permanently as? signed to duty, subject only to removal for j cause by the chief of the department to j which he belongs. When shall the United States have a simi? lar measure of Reform and a death-blow struck at the present ignoble and degrading trade in politics in this country ? Formerly, and long since the clays of Sir Robert Wal? pole, English politics were debased by the same huckstering, the same corrupting and disgraceful methods of seeking, abusing and distributing patronage which still prevail among ourselves. The change which has been wrought in England, to say nothing of j the hopeful virtue exhibited by Mr. Kelley's constituents, emboldens us to think that one day things may be better here. . The financial condition of Charleston at this time is enough to produce serious un? easiness, if not alarm; and it is to be feared, besides, that all the truth is not yet known. Most of the city officials are curiously reti? cent . They seem to be averse to making a clean breast of this bad business, and the public is left to grope for information, when it should be guided by the broad light of undoubted fact. According to the best data that we are able to obtain, the real and personal property In Charleston (including the city stock) is as? sessed for taxation at $30,000,000. Upon this ha3 been levied a tax of two per cent. The city has, besides, a license tax, which prodoces a considerable amount. From the total estimated Income, thus obtained, must be deducted the amount of taxes which, for various reasons, is not collectable. Thia in Includes the amount of the tax assessed upon railroad property and refused payment. Grouping the different sums together, we have the following result: INCOME. Tax on property at 2 per cent. .$600,000 Tax on licenses. 98,000 $698,nno Less unpaid or not cM.'cctauIe. 75,000 Net Income.$623,000 EXFEXSE8. Current expenses..$400,000 Interest on debt. 341,350 Total expenses.$741,350 This shows a DEFICIT of $118,350 upon the ordin?r}' transactions of the year. And this is not alL By the end of this year, thc over? due city stock pressing for payment, includ? ing the sums for which judgments have al? ready been obtained, will amount to $260. 000, making the total deficit of tho year $378,350. This ls, in sober troth, a blue lookout.
