Most people think Congress has held the power long enough to test the advantages of the system, and we believe the general verdiet is that a “transfer of the power will prove a -good thing for the public service and the country. Secietary of War, Mc/ -Orary, the other day gave additional evidence of the intention of the Administration to bring sbout a radiieal change, and he verydistinetly notified the politiciuns who have heretofore coutrolled'-all appeintments, that their ocewpation is gone. “Retentiom and advancein’ the ser-7 vice,” said he,."*will aepend upon the recordef good behavior and ef: ficien¢y) and not/upow external in@uence,”’ Mayes deglured in his inaugural address that ‘“he serves bis: party best, who serves bis countrys best,’ Patmaster General Key, Jyus also sounded the note of reform, and the whole country has respond _ -ed amers to-a}l that bas been said and donein the woy of reform in the Civil Service. thet it go om-sey we, amtil all who live upon: pelitical wire pulling shall find: the country -or their purty has nodenger need of ‘their services. > Matters in New Orleans _ Cmr0aco;.
