WEDNESDAY, MAY 15. Washington's Civil Service Notions. lu his seriuou at St. Paul's New York, during the late Ceo ten nial, Bishop Potter vigorously arraigned the govern? ment for corrupt political methods. Concerning au incident of the occasion, the New York World says : f "The brave Bishop of New York, standing in the pulpit of historic old St. Paul's, on Ceutenuial Day, giving utterance as with tongues of fire to solemn words of warciog and condem? nation, might have been compared lo some stern prophet of ancient days rebuking the world of sin. The echoes ? of that voice are still ringiug in the cars \n<I hearts of men, and they will be remembered as long as the great celebration. The words spoken by tile Bishop must have been true from the way in which they struck home Thc storm of criticism as well as the Dotes of approval they have brought forth are testimony to this eud. The galled jade of plutocracy winced, Ker ! withers wrung with the consciousness 1 that she bas beeu exposed in all her* hideous nakedness. The historians of the scene at St Paul's record with unanimous pens that the President and other membershis administration who owe their places to 5 the plutocratic spirit were visibly moved. ] The sermon which they had hoped to j find of bonejeu* words and glittering generalities was instead the plain, un? varnished truth-gall and wormwood to $em. 4Ooe of the most telling features of ?>i?hop Petter's sermon, it will be re? membered, was the quotation from a - ^et^pr "Written by Washington to some one who, urging the claims of friend? ship, bad applied to him during the j progress of the "presidetial campaign" j for the promise of an appointment to j office. Only a portion of the letter was j given by Dr. Porter, but as the Bishop pat it," it foreshadowed the loathing, . the outraged majesty with which Wash- j ington would have biddeu one begone j wno would h.'ve ventured to approach : him upoo tlie basis of "practical jpol- J itics." j To whom was the letter cl Yvasi,;-' iugton addressed ? To whom that re- i proof, so delicately crouched, given-? i Probably no one ia that cemparjy of j intelligent, well read aien, with the ex- \ ception of the Bishop himself and pos- j sibly one other man, knew. Doubtless I none cared to inquire. To the audience ! it was nothing more than a letter writ- 1 ten by Washington to so^ie pestering < -ffice-sceeker. Perhaps ttasi i& at? ; tbotity who were present thought j Warrington's answer bad politics, for j he wrote that he would never suffer . connections of blood, or friendship to j have the slightest sway on decisions of ! a public nature. Such sentiments were i absurd to Bishop Potter's hearers S They would "not work nowadays." j What would became of a man, poli.:;-; cally, who d;d not look out for h;s ' friends ? i it is stated above that possibly o.::c ; man present besides the Bishop might j have .known to whom Washington I wroVt The pointed letter. If that ma;i tr. ? know, there was no cause for ? yrv-^.ier that a loos ot surprise asa bil- \ ^erness should creep over his face, for j ihe man to whom that letter was written ? <vas his great grandfather and he bore ] the same name as himself--Benjamin Harrison. ] Yes, Benjamin Harrison, of Virginia, . one of the signers of ihe Declaration of Independence, the father cf President William Henry Harrison, and the great- j grandfather of thc present occupant of ibe White House. The full text of the letter can bc found in .Jared Sparks' ? ..Writing of Washington," volume . IX., paire 47o Benjamin Harrison"* ?otter to which i this is a reply, co historian sectus tp j have deemed worthy of preservation, j What the office was ?>r to what manner j the elder Benjamin Harrison urged his claims upon it-all is shrouded "in the ! dim past. Nothing remains save the ; nolle reply of Washington, au example , and rebuke to those who were to come i after. It may have been that Bunja- j min Harrison ur^ei t^iat bc <. u g h t to . have the place because he WHS connect? ed by marriage w:*b Washington's j f?niiiy f"r he iiad married c n|ece of i Mrs. Washington, Miss Elizabeth Bas- j nett. The fact of each a connection i might work strongly in one's favor iu ! the**; days, but it availed nothing a : hundred years ago. In the ?rst portion of ifee letter, j which is 1?re omitted as net bearing on tue case, Washington assured hts ! correspondent that his friendship for ! biai in not lessened on account of :i difference which has taken place \v ? their political sentiments. The writer j also compliments Harrison on thc en-j deavors he has made tc prevent ioflam- 1 matory measures from Seing adopted j Washington complains that he finds : the sentiments extracted fr->m him in r reply to letters or communicated orally \ find,their way into the public gazettes. . Then comes thc portion from which \ Bii*hr>p Potter quoted so c^-cfiveiy . The letter is heau'-d : t "To BENJAMIN HARRISON, M*?uo? Vnnop, 0 March. ITSOt. " The concluding portion r^ads : "In touching upon tue more delicate part of your letter, the communication of which fiiis mc with deep concern I will deal with you with all :!;:?; frank? ness which is du'1 to friendship, and which I wish should be a characteristic feature in my conduct through lifr*. * I wii! therefore declare to you that, if it ?dion'd be nry inevitable fate to ad? minister the government (for beaven' know? that no event can be less ties ired : by me, and hat no earthly considera? tion slnrt of so general a call, together with a desire to reconcile contending parties as far as in me i.- . could again bring me into public life.) ? will go u> the chair under no pre-engag<fment ;-f any kind or nature whatsoever.
