Show MINING UTAH FrlilaF (IVIL KwlKi IJM'rmbrr In the last report of Gpii. F. I'!. Spin i:cr, Treasurer uf the I'niteil State, lire luntiiiued some observations ielullve to (,'iril Service Reform, cnlcululed to awakeu in the thoughtful, unpleasant jircwntimenU. The reus in of the present impurity and corruption exist-inin high places, he give ai follow : There in a class of oilier that rich intn will take, for the honor the? are supposed to coufcr upon the holder.

Aa matter are now arranged, an honest, competent jhht man i debarred and virtuallj disqual-lie- d and disfranchised from holding place of public trust. None hut rich men or rascal can now afford to hold any of tha public offices that were formerly considered places of high houor. Then offices were conferred upon persons of distinguished honesty and ability, and were coveted hy the purest mud best men in tho land ; and office holders were treated with respect, and were looked up to hy whole cominuuilies as .'Xeiuplars of private and public virtue .Vow they are looked upon with suspicion and distrust. have Tho truth of these statement fjrced themselves irresistibly upon all who have observed public events for the past few years. It is not equally pluin that the he aeen, however, M increase an he proposes remedy Government of the wages of employes will bring about the desired change. The reason that so many dishonest officials are found in power is not so much because salaries are so low that none cun afford to fill ths offices unless intending to increase it by stealings, os because persons are placed in these positions as a reward for political services rendered, rather than from regard for their peculiar qualifications and fitness for the place. So long as that damnable heresy, uttered though it was by an able and patriotic ruler, to the victors belong the spoils, is allowed to prea vail, just so long will there he corrup-tioand inefficiency in our civil service. It usually occurs that the official positions are promised before the election of the appointing power to obtain the influence of him who is to he the recipThe latter, ient of the patronage. g urged on hy selfish principles, expends his time and money to secure the success of his principal, and when in the promised position he scruples not to repay himself by stealings for the private expenses incurred. This principle has been carried to such an extent that elections iu tho United States are al most s fitree, the aspirant capable of distributing the most official patronage usually being victorious. This widespread and growing evil, founded ou a principle wholly unworthy of a true American, is the deadly enemy of civil service reform. No mere machine work, such os competitive examinations or increase of pay can do the work which it requires and a higher patriotism and nobler conception of the duties of the rulers of a free people to accomplish.

From the i enver Pacific and Denver and Kio Grande railroads ou the east to the Salt Lake and San Bernardino wagon road on the west, there is no passible highway opened from the ceutral overland routes to those in Arizona. Lieutenant Geo. M. Wheeler, recognizing the necessity for a highway between the points uumed via St. George, St. Thomas, and other southern Utah and Nevada settlements, bos been giving the subject some attention. The mines of Mohave county are certain to soon call together a large population and create mnch business, and to them this new highway would be of vast advantage. Beside the many mines along the whole route, there are numerous valleys of great fertility and considerable extent which are possessed uf healthy and pleasant climates. A route from here into Arizona, either wagon or railway, would make this city tho source of supply of that entire Territory ns we(l ns n considerable part of New Mexico. No possibility of obtaining sgch a valuable trade should be allowed to pass unbeeded, aud we doubt not that by a hearty of the Salt Lake merch&uts with the people of Arizona, the work could be Much of the peedily accomplished. trade which now goes te other places would inevitably seek this place, and the mutual benefits to the two commercial points would more than repay the expense, not to speak of tke advantages to the intermediate sections. EDITORIAL ROTES. Ka Rente Omiki to Cincinnati end Washington. Git.iisouso, 111., Dec. 22, 1872 The snow blecksdss on the Union Pacific railroad a year ago, were no doubt very frightful in public estimation, and the luckless travelers who happened to la caught in them had good excuse, if not reason, for their many aud loud complaints ; but . the present winter, although thua Car net as severe in the Rocky Mountain region and on the plains, as lost, shows that the overland passenger has cause for apprehension of hardship, delay and trouble on roods east of the Missouri, no less than ou the great continental route ; and it may be said, that should the changes sul improvements mods on the U niou Pacific to prevent obstruction by snow, prove as we believe they generally will, effectual oc c&sion for fear will be all confined to the menus of travel, after leaving the cars at Omaha. To our mind, however, sack blockades as those which occurred on the U.
