TIE NEW-YORK CAMPAIGN

We have sufficiently expressed our earnest
desire for an early State Convention, and our
belief that it would materially aid in the VIC
tory we have no excuse for failing to win
this Fall. 1t only remains to add that it has
seemed otherwise to the authorities that rule
us. The State Committee, at its session yes
terday, cOntented itself with pOstponing the
State Convention till the 27th of September,
and with a cOmpanion-piece of unwisdom, an
approval of the Custom-HOuse reorganization
it had ordered. Thus still things bad begun
make weak themselves by i'll.
We appeal to earnest Republicans through
out the State to do all they may to diminish
the evil effects of this unfortunate course.
The delay and sluggish opening of our State
campaign, which q late Convention seems
skillfully calculated to insure, may IN large
measure be averted by prompt county organ
izations. Let the local machinery be set to
work. There is no reason why local nomina-
tions should be postponed because the State
Convention has been. Let the tickets be put
in the field, wherever it is possible, and the
candidates begin their active canvass.
We can carry the State, can make sure of a
Legislature that shall do the taxpayers OF this
city the justice its rulers deny, and Senate
that shall aid in electing Republican sue
cessor to Mr.. Conkling. If we are hindered
from these things it will be only through the
Vaccinations of our office-hOlding schemers,
who want no Republican victory that shall not
bring grist to their little mill, who have done
what they could to embarrass us by delaying
the opening of the campaign, and who must
not now be permitted to work further embar-
rassment by repeating for every county the
injury already done our State ticket. Organize

4 UHIN or ETIQUETTE.

Ultra civilization, it seems, has straits in
which TO entrap its yOtaries, where they cut a
ridiculous figure enough. For example: The
dinner giving world of London is seriously
considering the advantage of printed menu
Of guests to be placed beside each cover with
the bill of fare. The need of this, it is claimed,
has become urgent. 1t is inexpedient that a
hostess should introduce her guests to each
other The fact that b. and ID. dine together
ought hardly entail the bore of acquaintance
ship upon them during their whole future life.
Common sense suggests that the host should
be so held responsible for the character of his
guests that while they are under his roof they
meet without presentation, as friends; after
ward as strangers. But this rule of
etiquette, which has been imported from
France to England and afterward here, leaves
people in awkward uncertainty as to their next
neighbor, and the proper subjects to entertain
her with. "In your cropping ignorance now-a-
days" says The Spectator, "you may scarify
cher cousins make an unlucky dig at her hus-
bands profession or her own special weak
ness London society, in short, is repre-
sented as stumbling about purblind, not know
ing whom its sharp arrows of gossip will hit.
This new bill of fare, by which the host is to
signify what are the rank and station of his
guests as well as his dishes, is offered as the
only remedy for this social evil. This is petty
matter, but it is a significant index to the diff
culties and absurdites of that artificial social
life in which we copy so closely both London
and Paris.
In society where there is rank, and it is
supposed to symbolic real differences of cul-
ture and breeding, there is some show of rea-
son in the formula of introductions or in OBJ
jections 10 after acquaintance. But here the
grandson of Dutch PATRON or Wicaco
Swede turns his back on man whose grand
father blacked boots; yet ton TO one they are
equals in every respect In the uncertain rev.
olutons of our society two generations of
aiiluence and education are apt t0 c0afer "a
much real refinement and ease of manner a.
ten. Again why should the habit of conver-
sation among well bred people become a. we
are told it has in London. "swft, personal,

NJ. Ferr6 has shown himself one Of the most

was marked yesterday by an attempt on the

appealed to France, as she is hereafter to be
rchabilitated for vengeance. Ferre got no
further than this in his defense for the
