WASIIIN<}TON. JUKK 29--The r.ext shock of civil service reform will occur in the office of the Commissioner of Pensions after the 1st of July. Com­ missioner Dudley has had sevwr.il long consultations with leading officers of the (.iraiid Army of the Republic, and it is announced that this organization will have great influence in tlie future in shaping the policy of this office. In the first place there will bo a discharge of upward of two hundred clerks at the close of the fiscal year. It is alleged that every one of the clerks selected for discharge, are ex-Confederates. The fact of there being so many reb­ els euiployed in the office is given as a reason why there have been so many delays in the adjudication of the claims ot union soldiers. At any rate, Mr. Dudley says that, whether this fact explains the delays or not he docs not propose to rest until he has weed­ ed out every Democrat and ex-Confed­ erate. Unde* the preceding nmnajre- •M? US for positions have only been required to show that they are capable menj the question of politics has hardly ever entered into the consideration of the qualifications of an appointment. The sudden change in the policy of the Bureau and the determination to make it the asylum for men designated by the Grand Army of the Republic or some other equally stalwart authority, have created great constornation in the olllce. It is also charged np«>n a more sensational basis that over two hundred clerks have been borne upon the rolls In excess ol tlie regular ap­ propriations, and that the discharges indicated above will \>e based upon this allegation. At any rate it is cer­ tain that the pension office is to be thoroughly shaken up, whether to the great lutuie advantage of deserving pension claimants or not remains to be seen. M^*3ir Edward Thornten savs that some years ago when crazy British subjects indulged in the pastime of shooting at the Queen "just for the ton ol the thing," tire authorities were much puzzled to kuow what means t* employ to prevent assassination. Fi­ nally they took to sending such offend­ ers to an asylum, where they were reg­ ularly whipped, and this uiodo of pun­ ishment seemed to act as a perfect pre­ ventive. There are three classes of scoundrels in this country who ought to be servod in Hie same way. The first is com­ pose of such men as Guiteau, who have so strong a desire to leap into import­ ance that.ther do it at the expense of murder. The second is the class led by Nihilists lIKe Schwab, of New York, who clatter and chuckle about tlie shooting of the President, and give out ward thafGrant will get a dose pretty »oon." because he has dared to condemn such persons as thU Schwab and his associates. The third is com­ posed of editors who seek to inflame the minds of just 'such brutes as the above classes, and "incite murder by pretending that the Vice President and Senator Conkling are indirectlv if not directly responsible f<ir the crime at Washington. There ought to be n law whereby such scoundrels could be arrested, tried, sent to the asylum or the workhouse, and have a little sense and humanity beaten into them. Though assuming more virtue than their first named associates in crime, they are more dangerous than either of the other two classes, and should be dealt with accordingly. It is just such tn^n who rouse mobs, in­ cite revolutions and se< tlie crazy mur­ derers at work, while' they go off t» some safe hiding place and enjoy tlie spectacle. Thj people know and real­ ize this in Chicago, and if the crimes which these men have covertly advised should be committed as a result of their labor, even the most patfent ap­ peals to iroderatieu could not pnvent the cetulign punishment which would pursue and fall upon them. It Is a good time for such incendiary cowards to display a little discretion. The path of safety as well as<]eeency, leads that way.---,ntttr Ocean, .T-y?

Somebody.--if we knew who, we would give due credit ,--writes thus tersely and truthf.i l ly of newspapers and their worth to the world: "The value of newspap^/s is not fully ap­ preciated. but tl ie rapidity with which people are waking up to their necessi­ ty and usefulness, is one of the signifi­ cant signs of the times. Few families are now content with a single newspa­ per. The thirst for knowledge is y,ot easily satiated, and books, though use* fti l--yes, even absolutely necessary in their place, fail to meet the demands of youthor ago. The village newspa­ per is eagerly sought for, and its con­ tents as eagerly devoured. Then coines the demand for the county news state news, national and foreign news. Next to the political come the li terary and then the scientific Journal: . Last­ ly, and above all , come the moral and religious journals." This variety is de­ manded to satisfy th« cravings , of the active in hid. Newspapers are also valuable to material prosperity. They advertise the village, county or locality. They spread before Ihe reader a map on which ma5' be traced character, design atul progress. If a stranger calls at a hotel, lie first inquires for the village newspaper; if a friend comes from a distance tlie very next thing after a family greeting he inquires for your village or county newspaper, and you feel discomfited if you are unable to find a lale copy, and confounded if you are compelled to say you do not take it . for some time. About three years ago he made application for a place to Miss Ada Sweet. United States Pension Agent at Chicago, and threaten to mur­ der Miss Sweet when Ills claim was discouraged. The lady says; He made application in person for a position in the. office. He afterward called at the office one day and said lie wanted to see me privately. Previous to his second visit he f-ent a long let­ ter to me, which 1 had not read at the time or I should not have permittei him to gee me. In the letter he claim­ ed to be k lawyer, and said he was com­ petent to fill any position under the government. I t was a crazy sort of letter. When he came in I had my back to him, and when I saw hiui he looked tired and weary, and so hopeless that I pitied him. I explained to him that 1 had plenty ot heip. All the Lime 1 was talking to lii tn 1 noticed he look­ ed very peculiar, and was ondeavoring to smile. When I refused to employ hiin he said: "Perhaps yon do not know whe I am." He then went on to say he was Rhine great prophet, relig­ ious revivalist , or important personage 1 did not pay much attention to what he said as I saw he was insane. He then told me he was determined to have a position in my office, and said: "If you don't give it to me you will be sorry." 1 left him and passed into my private otllce, and tlie last words 1 heard him say was that he had a revol­ ver. I did not see thd revolver, and do not know that lie attempted to use It . He was then taken out of the office and I never saw hltu again nor receiv­ ed Any more letters from hi in.
