plumber In ancient Rome the office of Censor
was established for similar purpose. There
was no political influence attached to it; the
Censor simply kept watch over the acts ofpub-
Lie officials, and reported thereon approving
where their conduct was correct, and condemn
lag where il was wrong. This bureau will be
another Censor, and will be kind of moral
government keeping the legal government in
check by the force Of public opinion, which
will be enlightened and sharpened by the regu-
lag publication, in the form Of advertisements,
in the daily papers, Of the proceedings of our
official bodies. The cost will probably not ex-
coed twenty thousand year, and il will be
worth ten times that to the city. 1t
is very difficult to keep on the track Of
the multitude Of fellows who have been plum
dcring the people for the last eight or ten
years and it is only when they quarrel among
themselves over the spoils that the rascaiity
leaks out bit by bit in the newspapers, for the
newspapers cannot watch and expose it all:
they have other business to attend to. But,
with bureau specially devoted to the task,
whose reports will be given at regular iater-
walls to the public through the advertising col
umns of the press, the attention Of the whole
community will be fixed upon the evil doors,
and it will soon become pretty hard to carry
on the accustomed game of fraud and piunder
without discovery.
Such are the practical operations Of the Demo-
cratic Vigilant Association, and we trust that,
with the aid of the sensible portion Of the com
munity they will prove efficacious in bringing
about radical and much needed reform in our
municipal government.

OssAwAToME Brown AND Hrs DErENDERs-
The black republican journals hereabouts
abound in lengthy and elaborate panegyrics Of
Ossawatomie Brown and his doings in Kansas.
One account which has been published in the
Tribune lays great stress upon Browns piety.
He "did everything" we are told, "under a
high pressure of religious excitement. The
more 'eryent bis prayers, the harder fell his
blows; and the more signal and bloody his vic
tories, the more heartily did he return thanks
to the Lord after the battle was over.o II was
his opinion also that the ''angel Of the Lord
was continually encamped round about him.
Now, we have no doubtth all this is true; but
we can see no practical difference between
Brown whom we should call pious ruffian
and religious murderer, and irreligioHs rufians
who were on the other side in Kansas, or the
profane scoundrels Of the Bill Poole stamp who
infest our large cities. Ossawatomie Brown
may have been, for all we know to the con-
trary, sort of Old Mortality, modern edition
Of the Covenanters, praying rufian, psalm
singing rufaan, Praise God -Barebones
rufiian, who sought to promulgate Gospel
truths through the media Of Sharps
rifles and Colts revolvers; but he was
still ruf6an, with whom some of the profane
fre-eaters might compare favorably. People
who deal in this cant might proftably remember
the query of old Israel Putnam as to which is
the worst to swear, thinking no evil, or to
pray, thinking no good.

The CASE OF BISHOP ONDERDoNK- LAW
SUITS Bishop Onderdonk, having had leave to
withdraw the petition addressed to his peers,
lately in session at Richmond, and thus receiv-
ing polite intimation that they will not con-
sent to his being reinstated on any terms, has,
it is said, decided upon a novel mode of re-
dressing his grievances and clearing his eccle-
siastical character. Acting under the advice
of distinguished member of Congress, and q
prominent lawyer, he has resolved to bring
legal action to recover damages which he has
sustained through the deprivation of his office,
and its immunities, privileges and perquisites
In fact, the House of Bishops, having resolved
to leave their erring brother in his sins, he in
tends to appeal to the secular power to set
him right pecuniarily. Bishop Onderdonks
case is something like that of woman who,
having lost her reputation through misplaced
confidence in a marriage promise, brings an ac-
ton at law against her betrayer She cannot
recover her lost honor, but she can obtain a
salve for it in the shape of round sum of mo-
ney. So, Bishop Onderdonk, being shut out OF
the Kingdom of Heaven-that is, so far as the
House of Bishops can do it-resolves to obtain
the next best thing, at least in the wicked
worlds view, in suing for swinging damages.
The cause will be one of the most novel and
entertaining actions that has ever been tried
anywhere, and will furnish more food for the
scandal mOngers
