Thousands ' of tbe Prussians, gathered on the heights of Pere Lachalse and Montmartre, witnessed the battle -from a safe distance. -Not long ago two carrier-pigeons, caught by the Prussians In a balloon from Paris, were sent ( back to that city with notes tied to them, written < " by the Prussians, and which, pretending to come ' from well-known Frenchmen, gave a terrible ac- i count of the reverses of the army of the Loire, and of the lamentable condition of France. The Parisians,' however, detected the" artifice by the 1 Germanesque Hyle and handwriting. < -Mr. Gladstone, In his letter announcing thc f release of the Fenian prisoners, after declaring i that these prisoners were most justly condemned and Imprisoned for participation In a conspiracy, which, U successful, would have plunged Ireland ' In bloodshed, concludes by saying that &s the pe- 1 tulon for the release of these Fenians was not ac- ] companied by any turbulent demand or popular ( agitation, their pardon will be understood to be , an act or pore clemency on the part of the Queen. -General Trochu has just imitated Danton's u Audace-encore au&aos*-tonjo\irs audace ."? I On the occasion of Voa Moltke's letter to Trochu, ( advising him of the defeat bf the army ol the f Loire, and the occupation of Orleans, a meeting o? the Committee of the National Defence was \ held to consider the communication. In the ' course or a speech to his-colleagues on the oe ci- I sion, General Trochu exclaimed, with emotion ? and with tears m his eyes, that the dnty or Paris ? was. to '" Fight I Still fight ! Fight always >" \ These valiant words, circulated throughout the city/ gave great encouragement to the citizens. -Trocho, Ducrot and Bourbaki, the three fore- 1 .-mott generala on the French side, are reputed t warm friends. Bourbaki, commanding the army , or the Loire, ls a Greek, and ls not altogether ( friendly ta the Republic, bat he has written to Trochu, "I will fbUow thy (?es) Instructions." ' Trochu never omits an opportunity to praise Du- a crot in his addresses to the troopa> and in his re- <] ports of military movements. Not long ago, lu^a ^ .speech to the. National Guard, who had cried '?Vive Trochu 1" he replied, "Say vive Ducrot! " ?elsthe bravest and the most .loyal soldier or T France." This conduct ls highly creditable to the s Governor of Taris. j . -One of the molt curious domestic results or ^ the siege or Paris ls the distension or the "agony , column" (so-called) of the Times with tender and sympathetic annonc?s from alienated Parisians I who have fought refuge In London. In one nain- C ber only appear no less than thirty-two annonc?s < of this sort, headed "Paris," and generally com? mencing with tho expressive appeal. "Pri?re d quiconque Itra ce* Hnec.n The language of some * of the unfortunate lady refugees becomes here 1 and there pathetic; but we are happy to observe ? that the exiles mostly agree lu the commuai ca- j tlon of tidings to thetr relatives and friends tn ^ Paris that they are well and comfortably housed In the great metropolis whither they have fled. 1 -The stories of tho correspondents at .thc < Prussian headquarters are not reassuring to the < apprehensions of the stock exchange. One ls \ that Moltke has rearij prepared a complete plan for the invasion of Engliand, and the Prussian of? ficers assure their English friends that Its exe cn - < tlon will not bc at all difficult. Around Paris the t rich furniture of hundreds or villas has been < burned to warm the soldiers. "Nothing burns so , well as plano wood." At Versailles they are ea: lng all the cows, and the destruction dr every ' young animal as soon as born will make famine 1 in tte ruture. Athone point we are told of fifty I thousand men sleeping In the open air on a frosty i night, warming themselves from time to time at j huge fires or nnthreshed wheat, which added their glow to the 1res or-burulng villages. -Gossip from the national capital discloses a ' .deep-seated anxiety and alarm on the part of the ': Radical leaders, at the prospects that thc Demo- t ?rats, from present appearances, are sure to o irr y every Southam State in the next Presidential election, exaept, perhaps, South Carolina, and a * lively planning of means to bring them 'again * wit Wo . the Republican fold. This was the animus { or Morton's resolution Jost before the recese, c&il- i lng upon the President for Information as to the ? recent alleged defiance of United States laws In North carolina and other States. Tue expected * special message of the President is to be in the ' same vein, repTrsemmg the people nant for am- 1 nesty. and more hostile to the government than i at any time since trie war, and asking authority j to send the troops Into any State at will to er. for e tte laws-a Radical euphemism for controlling the^ elections. The retara, of Akerman from 1 Georgia, and hts report on the prospects there, < .are awaited with mach Interest, and will doubt- i less affect the plan of some of the leading Rad- j lcals for reconstructing not only Georgia, but ( Florida, Alabama and North Carolina. -Marshal Bazalne's vindication of his conduct ' In the defence and surrender of Metz Is no w going l through tba press. Those who believe that tr-e marshal has been engaged with the German au thorltles In a scheme to restore the empire will find a straw in the Tact that the pamphlet ls to be printed at Berlin. It details the operations of thc army, ihe battles which rendered the retreat from Metz impossible, but contends tint its presence la that fortress detained 300,000 Germans from marching westward. After being confined at Metz, Bazaine declares that he -received no answers to his dispatches to the government, nor did any of lils messengers return. The lncon sistency of this statement, with thc reiterated de? clarations from French official sources that the government wa9 In regular communication with Bazaine, cannot fall to be noted. During all this time thc marshal received no news except through prisoners and German news papers.. A council of war was held at length, and iu accordance with its decision General Boy? er was. sent on the 10th of October to Versailles to ascertain the true condition of affairs, obtain terms for the army In Metz, and, If possible, nego? tiate a general peace. The circumstances of this and the second mission of General Boyer are narrated, and it 13 claimed that the course pur? sued was the best possible and the terms as good as could be obtained. The false reports of the government at Tours, claiming victories that wcro never won and asserting the abundance of provisions when scarcely any remained, are what has given color to the charges of treachery. The marshal repeats that the supplies bad failed and that the army had been repulsed at every point. He is, of course, very severe upon his accusers. The Civil Service Reform. The necessity and methods of reforming the civil service of the United States are dis? cussed in the January number of the Nortii, American Review, by the Hon. J. D. Cox, late Secretary of the Interior. Mr. Cox writes clearly and vigorously, expressing the ma? ture thoughts of one who unites ia himself the qualities of the practical statesman, with a fervent desire for the welfare of tbe whole country, and a lasting faith in popular insti? tutions. It is a universally recognized truth, ns claimed by Mr. Cox, that our civil service, as now existing, is little better than a nuis? ance, which must be abated, unless we de? sire to be forced to the admission that Re? publican government is a business failure. He shows that the President, the members of the Cabinet, and, to a great extent, the members of Congress, are occupied most-of their time with the distribution of public offices, to the neglect of the great interests of the country. It is a startling picture! The President overwhelmed with worthless, because insincere, recommendations for placa Senators and Representatives urging the claims of party followers at the depart? ments, and returning to deny, privately, their public endorsements. Ail over the Ian*' the swarm of office-holders dis? pensing their subordinate patronage under, similar vicious influences. Supposing a case that is not wholly imaginary, Mr. Cox rep? resents a President determined to use his patronage to secure his re-election, as prac? ticing "a systematic bribery scarcely more "disguised than the system of corruption in? troduced into the English Parliament under "the Walpole "Minis rrj? and the same prin? ciple, carried out through the lower grades )f dispensers of patronage, brings "Ibb 'party to mean nothing bat the organized 'body of placemen." From this common purpose to keep them lelves in favor, come those yet baser abuseB, igainst which Mr. Cox contended in vain ;he assessment of Government employ?s by "a committee .of the party of purity and re "form;" the docking of the pay of doorkeep? ers, pages and folding-boys, and the super? vision of a United States Marshal over the pay table of a customhouse, to see that the government officer deducts the party tax Tom the salary of each clerk and inspector. The subordinate -learns that he owes his )laee to a power with which no sense of luty to the public must be allowed to inter ere, and for whose interest he must do and >ay what he is bid, and uo questions asked. The committee which represents this power ios for its object "to secure the re-election 'of the present Congressmen of the party," md is "a mutual'insurance society for the 'preservation bf place-a machine for pre 'venticg a free representation of the people." Dbe law requiring a preliminary examina ioo of aspirants to office, "from its very 'enactment has been habitually disregard? ed, or the form of an examination under it 'made the veriest farce." The departments .re filled with incompetents, who regularly Iraw their pay, while their work is done by he few capable men who chance to be re? amed. Professional . base-ball players, rhose salaries the clubs which engage them ,re unwilling or unable to pay, are provided or as Government clerks by accommodat ng Congressmen. And "the grossest and 'most offensive immoralities" in office have leen protected by the iofluence of members >f Coogress, to whom the appointments .belonged" by custom. Mr. Cox's plan for remedying all these iviis is simple aud sweeping. He would lave the publie offices, separated absolutely ind forever from all favoritism and nepo tsm, thrown open to every citizen of the vhole conntry through a competitive exam nation. The entire civil service he would conduct on plain business principles. The ?ffleiency and honesty of the service should je the supreme end in politics, and the ;enure of office should be made permanent1 luring good behavior, with the prospect of Avancement by industry and devotion to luty. Before the war in South Carolina there ivas little inclination to remove a public offi? cer because there was a change of administra? tion. Whatever the political complexion of :he federal government, the conservative ;emperof the people prompted the desire ;hat the competent and trustworthy civil offi? cer should retain bis place. During the past ive years Lhe system of parceling out the ;poi!s has had full swing. We know, and feel, he result Mr. Cox does not insist on an elaborate icheme for reorganizing the civil service, )ut thinks that a direct expression by Con? gress of the views held in common by all ?ho desire to reform that service, and left to ;he Executive to carry out in detail, would be vicient. And as a compensation for tbe oss ot power and dignity Involved In the 083 of its "patronage," he advocates the ad? mission of members of the Cabinet to the loor of each house of Congress, with au hority to answer inquiries, and to take part n debates upon subjects relating to their )wn departments. This, he thinks, would nake the Executive as a whole "a ministry" n the Tall sense, with its proper access to, ind, influence upon, the public opinion of he country. A similar proposition was nade, and fully discussed, in the Confede rate Congress, bat was, unfortunately, re? jected. , Holdings views so decidedly opposed to those of the President, and his political advisers, it is not strange that Ur. Cox found Iiis pluce in the Cabinet exceed, ingly uncongenial. Untrammelled by tfce base influences, which he graphically de? scribes and vigorously denounces, he will be able to serve the people moro efficiently. The work which he has laid out for himself is one of the first importance, and his lucid statements of the evil and its care will tend to crystallize popular sentiment, and to bring about the thorough reform which he so hon? estly desires. It is too much to expect that either President or Congress will voluntarily relinquish the power which insured their election, and upon which they, in the main, rety for their continuance in office; but we expect to see a- time, not far distant, when Civil Service Reform will be voted upon by the people, a.nd men will be chosen who are pledged to put in operation some such plan of purification as that which Mr. Cox has proposed. _ ' The Troubles In the Up-Country. "We print to-day such information as is given by the interior papers in regard to the bloody work in Spartanburg and Union Counties. It- is evident that in Union the first responsibility rests with the negroes, who murdered Mr. Stevens. The brothers Ellis were killed while resisting arrest There can be, however, no justification of the lynching of the persons suspected of com? plicity in the Stevens murder. The law must be allowed to take its course. This is necessary for public peace and private se? curity. In Spartanburg the whites do not appear to have been at all to blame; but the people have adopted resolutions vigorously de? nouncing riot and disorder by whomsoever begun or continued. We believe that the responsible citizens of the up-country deprecate any violation of the law upon any pretext, and, if the State government will co-operate with them, tran? quillity will most assuredly be restored and maintained. '_ CHARGES of corruption in connection %ith the lease of the Georgia State Railroad having been made, the Eon. A. H. Stephens has written a letter to a friend, in which he states that he invested in the lease as a purely business transaction ; tbat lie believed that Governor Brown would pay the State j the amount stipulated, and give the com? pany a reasonable profit upon their invest? ment; that if there -has been anything cor? rupt in the letting of the road, or in the ac? ceptance or rejection of bids, he knows nothing of the matter; that be hopes the at? tack upon the lease will be made by specific charges which can be proved, and not by in? sinuation.- Mr. Stephens says that in the matter of the lease he was looking as much to public as" persona! Interest, abd that while he has differed from Governor Brown in politics, he bas considered bim a man per? fectly honest in all pecuniary transactions, both public and private. WE print to-day an article of the London Spectator upon the military situation in France. The writer does not take into ac? count the certainty that Germany will fight on with all the ardor, and more than the te? nacity, which he expects from the French; but the article is so able, as well as mode? rate in tone, that it will be read with interest by the friends of both nations.
