The Moral Revolution.

Al length the great Moral Revolution, that we
have always predicted, has come down from hea-
ven, and is now in full career in this happy and
prosperous city. This is the real Mlenlum-the
true reign of Christ on earth. The Mirabeau of
this glorious revolution is the Hon. Tom Marshal
of Kentucky and the Robesplere and bloody
Danton, are Colonel Webb of the regular army
and his associates in those depths of demoraiza-
ton.
The Courier and Enquirer the organ OF the
drunk ards-of the gamblers-of the bankrupts-of
the murderers-of the instgators TO riots whole
sale plan, is perfectly crazy with fright and appre
henson. What do they propose TO gain by that |!
VIII the gross abuse of Marshall help the cause of
the drunkards and the instigators to riot viii the
daily assaults on the character of the Mirabeau of
the moral revolution help the miserable-the ras-
cally-the vulgar politicians, gamblers and drunk
ards
During the whole of this glorious week has the
revolution gone ahead with the rapidity OF steam
power At the Tabernacle, at the Methodist
Church, thousands and thousands have hung the
eloquent words of Marshall The browning glory
will. however. take place tonight at the Taber-
nacle, where Tom Marshall will walk into the ia
shionable drunkards-he card-payers-the brandy
nosed rascals--the respectable vagabonds of good
society, who under the guse of refinement, have
been the cause of all the recent horrible demorai
cation of states, communities, cities, towns, men
and women Go and hear him--do go and hear

will therefore be nearly 2O vacancies in New Nork
that will require good men to fill. II the collector

PHILADELPHIA, MAY 6, 1872
A precious scheme of the Office holders of the

has Just leaked out here. In obedience to public
opinion, often expressed, the Administration had
come 10 the determination to remove the pipe lay

and those Clay men who have been most prominent
in their abuse of the Executive, denomlna'lng hun
damned traitor and like names. have divided
them into three classes but the last Is nearly en-
tlrely included in the two first A few days ago, II
is believed, the Collector (himself, by the way,
should be removed) received order TO make
some twenty removals, and TO appoint certain
others who were named, to the situations
Gated. Immediately, the Collector, those to be re-
moved and their friends met In caucus, TO deter
mine what should be done, and this, | know
from undoubed authority, is what they determined
upon.
lst. That the Collector should proceed at once to
Washington, and endeavor TO induce the President
to alter his determination.
ID If this could not be done then he was to
concede the removal of not over three of the most
obnoxous-such as Bob Miller.
3D.. If this would not do, then the Collector was
10 come back, and neither comply nor directly
fuse to comply, but let the business of the Custom
House proceed as BEFORE and above all, not by any

remove him. which they calculated he would not
have resolution enough TO do, for fear of an out.

Accordingly. Jonathan Roberts has proceeded to
Washington City; but If he does not come back
with flea in his ear, ! miss my guess greatly. BY
the way it Is considered here a great blow to the
prospects of Clay for the succession TO loose the in
