According to this self-appointed keeper of Jay Gould's conscience the prime object of gobbling - bling the Western Union was to gi vo the country cheap telegraphing so cheap that it will shortly bo cheaper to for ward a telegram than il now costs to mail n letter. The I.-O. man had better soak his head in that wash- atand. If Juy Gould was us intent on cheapening telegraphy us ho is to earn u big dividend on his telegraph atock ho would never have consoli dated his American Union lines with the Western Union Telegraph , He could have duplicated thip entire West ern Union system V > -wires for less than twenty millions , but by consolidating ho guaranteed dividends on nearly forty millions of water that liad been injected into Western1 Union from time to time. . Wo should bo pleased to have the I. 0. waslutand man enlighten us by wliat method of reasoning ho roaches the conclusion that it is necessary to pay eight percent. , dividend on one hundred million * in order to cheapen telegraphy , when every telegraph line in this country could bo duplicated for less than a quarter of that enor mous sum. CIVIL SERVICE REFORM. SENATOR DAWE.S , of Massachusetts , has joined the army of civil reform- ersand comes forward in two letters tc the Springfield llrtblicin \ with hie views on the great nnd important question of reforming the civil ser vice. Mr. DA WES has been for ovci twontyyears a member of congress. Jlj entered lhat body before Mr. BLAI.VK , During his long congressional carcei ho has never made n speech in favoi of civil service reform. It tool the pistol shot of a murderout assassin to uring Mr. DAWE < to a realizing RCMSO of the great importance portanco of a reform which ho ha < hoard discussed for years nnd upor which ho had never ventured nn opiti' ion. Senator Dawes asserts thai neither the Pondleton bill nor the Eiton commission attempts to cope with the whole evil , and proceeds tc speak of the relief of the president , which , ho Bays , is "nn essential part of the work before us. " The chief executive is , lie says , being killed bj the exercise of the appointing power , and by its attendant perplexities. This work must bo taken out of his hands , and turned over to others. Ho thinks it would bo well for the president actually , ns well as in theory , to break up the work of his administration into seven parts , and freeing himself of everything oxcopl control , hold each cabinet ofllcor per sonally responsible to him for the per formance of the work in the part ns' signed to him , making the tenure depend > pond upon a result brought up to the standard fixed by the president him. self. " "T lTnTiiTprobably as impracticable scheme for reforming the civil service as any which has yet boon proposed. It fails to remove the greatest obstacles encountered in administering the pub lic service , nnd in addition takes nway from the president his per sonal control and responsibility for his whole administration. There are two great objections to such plans for reforming the civil ser vice as nro advocated by Mr. Dawes and Carl Schurz. The big light for spoils is not over the little ofllccs which the ) civil service roformore would relegate to the heads of de partments under nn elaborate system of rules and examinations. It is over the largo olllcos , the cnbinot positions , the collectorships , Iho foreign mis sions and consulalcs , Iho largo post- offices , which themselves have n largo number of employes under thorn that the "most bitler battle is fought. How nro the rules of civil reform to be applied to thcao officials so as to assure us competent and re liable men in the larger offices. Are our customs nnd revenue coilectora , torritonal governors and judges , mar shals , district attorneys and postmas ters of the great cities to bo subjected to the same t6sts that department clerks nro subjected to 1 If so , who are to bo the examiners 1 There are seven departments represented in the cnbinot , two of which represent the army nnd navy. Will the presi dent , who by the constitution is thocomiunndor-in-chiof of the army and navy abdicate his power to the heads of those two departments. Suppose - pose Guitcau had boon an ox-applicant for a position in the army or navy , would Mr. Dawes have boon in favor of army and navy reform 1 And yet it Is n very common thing for mou to appeal for appointment and promo tions in the army and navy. Another obstacle to the kind of civil service reform which Mr. Dawes and others desire to inaugurate is the tenure during good behavior. In n free country whore every citi zen has a right to aspire to posi tions of honor nnd trust , it would bo unwise and unjust tote to establish n caste of oflico holders tenure during good t behavior means Hfo tenure and life tenure means the creation of bureaucracy which ia the germ of ar istocracy. Supnoso the men who now hold nil the lucrative federal ollicos in the country wore honest , competent ixnd faithful , they would under the proposed civil service reform continue in their offices during the balance of their lives unless promoted to some a'.her offico. The average oilico holder is robust , nnd the chance of their ilying from overwork is very slim. To sonfor office upon all men employed in the civil service for life would bar out ambition and beget annnropublican system of government , Mr. Schurz , who has had ample opportunity to ex periment on ciyil service reform , lays great stress upon the theory that con gressmen and senators should n t interfere - torforo jn appointments. But Mr. Schurz ought to have taken his own medicine when ho was the doctor. When ho was Secretary of the Interior ho always required endorsements of senators and coijRrcBsmon for every fmportant office in histdepartment. . Ho put his clerks to the trouble of competitive examinations , but ho ap pointed men as surveyors general who didn't know an engineer's transit from an six'inch equatorial telescope , ind ho upjwintod men as receivers nnd roKintors of land cilices who wore utterly unfit for luch positions , both as regards busi ness ability and moral character. Worse than all , lie kept men in office nrhon it was a notorious fact that they were dishonest nnd incompetent , be cause they were backed by congress men nnd senators whom ho desired t placate. Now , wo have advocatoi civil service reform for many year but wo want to see it applied where i will have a practical effect withou antagonizing our republican ! fern of government. There can hi nnd will bo no objection t competitive examination and promo lions according to merit am length of service for clerk in the departments am wo should even bo williug to conced that these clerks hold their position during good behaviors. Wo shouli favor andinsist upon some standard o ability for the higher appointment such na representatives in the diplo malic service and in every brand that requires professional training But all those higher offices must noccs sarily have a limited tenure. Fou years may bo too short a term , bu three times four years might bo fixe ns n limit. In n government like our wo must trust largely lo Iho goo judgment of the president for th choice to the very highest position within the gift of the nation. If ; president can bo trusted with th appointment of a chief justic of the supreme court , a general com manding our armies or nn ndinirr commanding our navies , ho certain ! ; can bo trusted with the nppointmon of collectors , marshals , districl-allor noys and postmasters. If in any in stance ho has made a grave blundoi the senate is authorized to review tin ; act and roj ct his nomination. Will such safeguards thrown around th civil service the country is in no imminent minont danger of being wrecked The great trouble about our civil ser vice appointments is not with th president or heads of doparhnonl who cannot know each oflicer they ap point , but with congressmen and senators ators upon whoso recommendation they rely for the mos part. What the country roall ; needs is n congressional service rcforn rather than n civil service reform , ; higher grade of congressmen nnel sen ntors who will recommend none bu men of the most undoubted honest ; and known ability. This is what tin people demand and where the ; must look for the remedy If Mr. Dawes will endorse enl ; honest and faithful men fo appointments in Massachusetts linn will bo genuine civil service roforn ii his state , and if the senators and con grcssmon of other states really dosin to improve the public service they cai readily do so. THE NEW SOUTH- The tide of wealth which tor yean has boon flowing to the west , seokinj investment in railroad nnd industria schemes seem suddenly to have turned od its current toward the gulf. Capi t.il which tins so long shunned th South as a field of investment , nov seems to bo overflowing Iho whol section. Now schemes are announce ! ( ilmost daily and willing investors ar readily found to assist in pushing for ward the development of the country Ilio unsettled condition of tin south resulting from the civil war , tin evils of slavery , the stolid indifTor cnco and exclusiveness of its people nnd the greater inducements hold ou by the west as n field for investmon ( ire the principal causes which havi heretofore kept capital out of tin south , The west has reaped the benefit fit of southern misfortune and indiilor DIICO , and has so long been steudil ; absorbing all the surplus capital with ill-its roach that it has ceased to offo the same inducements to capilal tha it did five years ngo. Awakening to i aonso of their loss , the south has nov thrown off her indifference and is in viting tho'approach of capital. The railroad system of the South i the first great interest to receive tin attention of Northern and Europeai capital. As a rule , the roads havi boon few , badly equipped and poorl ; managed. The value of railroads n wealth developers has never boon full ; appreciated by the Southern people nnd the north is now teaching them i lesson. The New York lleruld las week published n letter from Augua ia , Ga. , detailing some of the Inrgei investments made in the South within iho past eighteen months. It nppears that in this brief period there has boon subscribed for investment ii ; hnt portion of the South east o Iho Mississippi nnd south of Hich inond no less than ; 8100,000 , 300 of Northern and Europoai ttxpitnl. This has boon chiefly for tin purchase of railroad stocks , for the Improvement of old roads , nnd for tlu construclion of now ones. Part of ii is represented in manufacturing am mining companies , organized for tin south and miscellaneous Bchomessucl us the 85,000,000 company , which hai undertaken to drain Iho Florida over jlades. The railroad inveslmonts art most important. There are sever syndicates in the field , which havi Inken in hand seven different railroad systems. The Cincinnati & Georgia jontomplale n great cartwheel system , centering at Atlanla and radialing to ill points of the compass. The Georgia Pacific has in hand a now line directly west from Atlanta to the Mississippi. The Norfolk and Western occupy the leld in southern Virginia , The Er- anger syndicate of Frankfort capital- sts have in view a number of lines , old nnd now , which will extend fror Now Orleans and Vicksburg to Chaltn nooga nnd Brunswick , Georgia. Th Clyde syndicate , the Louisville mn Nashville , and the Baltimore and Ohii are older organizations with now am bition in soulhern railroad develop mont. The combined capital involv cd in those seven railroad schemes i not less than $90,000,000. If to thii is added the Cincinnati Southern tin sum totnl of investments south am east of the Ohio and Mississippi wouli bo swelled to the enormous figure o 8120,000,000. Such an influx of capital Is breath ing a now life inta Iho south. Nov roads are bringing now wealth to pov crly-slrickon regions. The whole sale purchase nt advanced prices o the old stock held by southerners ha sent largo sums of money into tin south for now investment. The neo pie are awakening from their lethargy They are discovering that they an bound lo the north not only by tin ties of nationality , but nlso by tin bonds of commercial interest. Will the cultivation of her fertile fields , th building up of her feeble towns am the development of her vast minera and industrial resources the Nov South will soon cease its sectional bitterness tornoss and realize its position a an integral part of a great and prosperous porous country.

The ride of the two consulting physicians to Washington must g ( into history as ono of the most remarkable markablo on record. Dr. Frank H , Hamilton received the dispatch sum moning him to Washington at his house , 43 West Thirty-second street Now York , yesterday. It took hini only ten minutes to prepare for the journey. Ho left the house nt nboul two o'clock , with the remark that he did not know when the next trail : would start , but that ho would got r carnage and go to the ferry so that he woulef bo ready to take it The dis patch , which was brief , ho look will him. Ho hastened in a carriage tc the Desbrosses street ferry , where he learned that the first train for Wash ington was over the Pennsylvania railroad at 3:40 : o'clock. It would ar rive in Washington at 10:20 : o'clock p. m. Some time was spoilt in in quiries as to the departure of trains on other roads. Then ho crossed the ferry and entered the Jersey City passenger waiting room , where ho was recognized while ho was making in quiries at the palace car window. Superintendent - porintondent Jackson , who was in his office in another part of the depot , was sent for. A very brief time suf- [ iced to make him aware of the situa tion. Ho hurried away from Dr. [ lamilton , and seven minutes later ; ho latter was rushing out oi the depot on a special train. It was about 3:10 : o'clock p. in. when the depot master ind the train dispatchers received no- ; ice to bo spry. Engine 015 , one of ; lie beet of the ordinary engines , with i live-foot driving wheel , was hitched ; o a now Eastlako coach , and , at 3:20 : t was run out of the depot. The new Sastlake coaches are chiefly romarka- DO for their high ceilings , their low ind comfortable scatsi nnd for the elo- anco of the panclings of light , un- itained maple and ash. Each panel s carved after an original design. They run very smoothly. The freight trains were all t'ot out ; ho way , ono after another on side tracks , in time to allow the special to oar past them without slacking speed , > ut two passenger trains delayed the doctor fifteen minutes. Ho arrived it Philadelphia at 5 o'clock , a dis tance of 9D miles in 100 minutes. The engineer was A. Vandorgrift , and the conductor was H. W. Headly. At Philadelphia a stop of but a few min utes was made , in which to change engines and allow Dr. Agnew to got on the cars. From Philadelphia to Wilmington , with a stop at Chester uid other places , the run was made n 27 minutes , the distance being 2C niles. A dispatch had been sent to Wilmington for a brakeman , and a man named Humphreys was detailed to "mako the rain. " At 5:27 : the special came dashing through the city nt the rate of at least eighteen miles an hour , and ho intorprid brakeman stood near the rack. Ho made a desperate grab for ho roar platform , and at Iho risk of iis lifo succeeded in gaining a hand md foothold , Tl'o carsteps wore pro- eclod by a wire railing , and ho was arriod a considerable distance cling- ng on to this before the conductor amo back and unlocked the gate. The rain arrived at Washington nt 7:50 : p. n. - nn average run fro m New York ot almost fifty miles an hour , and from 'hiladolphia of over fifty-five miles nn lour.
