como otmospberc. among undesirable COM
panions, for SO per day
If tbey are, you can afford to go ahead.
Won will have to tcork. No substantial sue
ooss ia otherwise attainable. Get the names Of
five hundred citizens who are heartily with
Won. Have each call a meeting of his friends
and neighbors in his own house to talk the
matter over and form little auxiliary to your
movement So soon as may be, transform
these auxiaries into Election District Associ-
ations and have one in each Election District
so nearly as may be. Draft some out of these
voluntary auxiliaries to form new auxiliaries
in the districts which they severally inhabit.
Keep out of public halls and grogshops so
long as you can, meeting in parlors while
those afford the requisite capacity, and gath
ering strength silently and unobserved.
Make your nominations, after careful in
quiry and repeated conferences, early in Sep
tember. Have few Mass Meetings, posters, or
public appeals But, when your candidates are
agreed on, go quietly each of you to your
butcher, your grocer, your carman, your tailor,
your barber, and tell them what you are about
and why they ought to unite with you in your
efforts.
A lucid appeal to the good sense of tenants,
showing how profgate municipality does
and must increase their rents, will do good,
provided it shall reach them through the
hands of those they esteem and confide In.
None are so oppressed by official prodigality
as the Laboring Poor, who fancy themselves
all but exempt from its baleful effects
Again we say, Select your candidates before
they shall be supposed to have any chance OF
election. Better men will then consent to
run. while self-seekers will stand Off And be
sure that the public instinctively knows one
sort from the other.
"Pity," says Carlyle, that the world can
mot be reformed by what the newspapers re-
"port as Tremendous cheering y" But then
it can't be, and you may as well understand
first as last that the effort involves work,
pluck, cost, and stubborn resolution.
New-York tribune., 1871-04-08

Since the battle of Monday there has been
constant skirmishing between the Government
troops and the insurgents to the south OF
Paris-with few casualties and unimportant
results. The Government appeared desirous
to conciliate, and the Communists restrict
ed themselves to defensive attitude.
But yesterday serious and obsti-
nate attack upon the advanced
positions of the insurgents was made by the
regulars, who took the Bridge of Neuilly,
after a sharp engagement, and drove the
rebels up the Avenue de Neuilly and inside of
the Notifications. At nightfall, the Govern
ment troops occupied strong positions on either
side of the Porte Mallot. Besides this princi-
pal engagement, the insurgents were defeated
in several skiImishes in the several suburbs.
The condition of Paris is most deplorable. The
earnest desire of all reasonable persons for the
restoration of order will be powerful aux
iliary to the regular troops as soon as they
have once effected lodgment within the walls.

The complications arising from the strike OF
the coal miners in Pennsylvania have reached
point which seems to Gov Geary to render
necessary a complete and final settlement lie
has therefore issued his Proclamation calling
upon the military forces of the State to hold
themselves in readiness for extreme measures.
He also gives notice that he will employ
against the unlawful schemes of the railroad
companies the remedies afforded by the law;
and he issues a stirring appeal to the people
at large to sustain him in this courageous and
patriotic attitude. The whole country Will
Join Gov. Geary in wishing for final and
thorough canvass and decision of the merits
of this most impractCable quarrel. The ac-
counts of rioting and murder are repre-
sented by our own well-informed correspond
ents as exaggerated but it is evident that a
state of disorder and excitement exists which
may at any moment result in violence unless
promptly pacified.

More persuasive appliances having failed,

bully and the prize-Gghter on the recalctrant
Mr.. Weed. OF the brutality and indecency Of
this performance we do not propose to say one
word it is what was to be expected from
the low creatures chosen by the dominant
party in this quarter of the State to govern
us, and while we accept their rule we need
express no astOnishment at its results What
more concerns us is the effect this stupid
Democratic quarrel may have on such
iniquities as the Two Per Cent bill;
and its lesson is not far to seek. No possible
excuse will serve any Republican who absents
himself from any vote on any stage of the BILL
under whatever unexpected circumstances, or at
whatever unusual time. Gentlemen! we may
not be aided by these Democratic broils; but We
must improve every chance to present an un'
broken front at every stage. Mark the absent
Republican, and count him bribed traitor
to be trusted nevermore

The speech of Senator Morrill, on the Santo
Domingo question might serve as model in
the discussion now going on in the Senate.
He opposes annexation for reasons which ap-
pear to him satisfactory, and has not word
to say impugning the motives of Others, or en-
deavoring to catch the worthless applause OF
the galleries by flashes of irony and sarcasm

The large quantity of liquors seized by the State
Constabulary in Boston, at the warehouse of MeSss
Smith q Co., was returned to the owners on Wednes-
day evening This was the greatest seizure ever
made in the State and included bogsheads. Al bar
rels, half-pipes quarter-pipes, eighth-pipes 4
twenty-gallon kegs, five and ten-gallon kegs SO
packages containing bottles of rum and spirts-and
all this, which was taken away with good deal Of
circumstance, was brought back quietly after sun
set. There was no legal reason worth two pence for
returning the goods but the cOnfscation was
thought if not inequtabe, at least impolitic. One
of the firm had been active in promoting the Con-
stabulary investigation; and the seizure had color
of revenge.

1t is strange that opera-oving people do not see
that there are limits beyond which theatrical ova-
tions are absurd. Patti, for instance, upon her
benefit night at St. Petersburg, called before the
curtain seventy-fye times three times was sent for
to come to the Imperial box and was presented with
diamonds and other jewels valued at $4,000 francs.
We like good singing; but the performances of the
angels If we may imagine them engaged for opera
would hardly be worth this profuse reward There
is this to be said for legitimate dramatic perform
ances they never lead pit, box, and gallery into
such insane demonstrations as vocasts and dancers
provoke. Good plays are of higher intellectual
grade and less Of the earth, earthly.

SOBER COUNSEL TO THE COUNCIL Oh
POLITICAL REFORM

POLITICAL REFORM
We have Just had great City Meeting,
most respectfully oficered, and forcibly ad-
dressed by able and earnest orators. Much
truth was told that ought to be heard and
needed, and there are many who say, Well
"donew
We respectfully but firmly dissent
Talking is not doing, and talk is all we yet
have. Unless these brave words shall prove
the prelude to earnest, patient, persevering
work, they might as well have remained un-
spoken.
The walls of Jericho, we read, were made
to crumble and tumble by the blowing of
rams'-horns. But that is hasty reading.
There were lots of marching and counter
marching required to give efficacy to the blow
ing. (Our knowledge of the Book of Joshua
is a little rusty, but we cannot be mistaken on
the main point.) The moral that mere wind,
however high-ptched and sonorous, does not
avail to the topping down of firmly based
and thoroughly fortified strongholds of in
iouty, must be obvious to the meanest ca
pacity.
Well: what then9
If the, gentlemen who gathered at Cooper
Institute on Thursday evening mean business,
the meeting was very good advertisement of
their purpose; if they meant something else,
their end is probably achieved
To put the question practically,
Will Messrs. Havemeyer, Evarts, Barrett,
Schultz, Nicoll and Bellows, consent to be Re-
form candidates for our next Legislature
If they will, the first step is taken. If they
will stand for the Legislature, the Council of
Political Reform may be something more than
the shadow of shade. But if they are to be
allowed to plead personal cares, social obliga-
TONS advancing years, &C., &C., as excuses,
and the Council thus compelled to fall back
on the briefess young lawyers, bankrupt traders,
political aspirants, and party hacks, from whom
candidates are usually selected, then the result
will be o break down.
Messrs. Reformers ascertain now whether
your figure heads, and resolvers, and speech
makers are 80 much in earnest that they will
stand for the Legislature If you wish them to
do so.
Are they willing to forego profit, and com
fort, and ease, and be sneered at as inveterate
office seekers. and asked what Ak they have

Last Thursday was observed as Fast Day, and
also as a Day of Humiliation and Prayer, in Massa-
chusetts. As evidence of public repentance, there
were afternoon and evening performances in all the
Boston theaters, mainly for the benefit of the sub
urban population AS further evidence, if any were
needed, there were many baseball matches. In or
der to get themselves into a serious frame of mind,
many members of the General Court made an excur-
sion to Plymouth Rock. OF course they ate no din

and involuntary kept by the Pilgrim Fathers.

refusing to recognize this stationery swindle, for
such it certainly Is. In many cases members sell
