Our Washington dispatches indicate that
what little remnant of show of respect which
the Administration had for Civil Service
Reform has gone by the board. What with
clerks assessed over and over again for cam
paign expenses, arbitrary changes in the

officer sent into the field, it is plain that Mr..
Geo. VIM. Curtis's pet delusion has at last
been utterly swept away. A great scare has

authoritatively communicated concerning the

informed that a Supplementary Case has been

The Vermont Liberals fairly begun their
campaign, yesterday, by the nomination of
State ticket and Electors and the election Of
a State Committee. This is the work of a
joint convention, those called by Demo-
cratic and Liberal Committees having frater-
nized The nomination of A. B. Gardner for
Governor will be a popular one. He is an old
Republican, has been an efficient State leg
islator, and occupies good position in the
State as q substantial citizen. The candidate
for Lieutenant Governor, Mr.. w. II. Bingham,
is a Democrat and the Presidential Elec-
tors are divided between the two
branches of the Liberal organization.
The nomination of Converse by the Grant
party has, 50 far, been very cOldly received.
Converse is an aged man, persistent Office
seeker, and his selection by the Convention
was the result of a juggle ON the Senatorial
question which disgusted many honest and
fair-minded Republicans. Liberalism has
lately made astonishing progress in Vermont,
and recent startling political events will serve
to fan the spYinging flames.

Judge Bamard's defense, yesterday, did not
open Tauspiciously for him. HIS witnesses,
numerous and imposing in their standing did
not appear; only BeamIsh, his Chambers
Clerk, was there to aid him by his swift tes-
timony. There is somethinga little pitiful in
this sudden desertion by those on whom he
has depended for assistance in extremity. The
clerk, however. did his best to make up for
the detection of the other witnesses, as he
swore emphatically that Barnards conduct on
fhe bench had been nothing but "decOrous,

Mr.. Beamishs ideas of propriety, delicacy,

Perhaps war among the Central American
Republics is trifle moro important than
revolution in any one of them. The war be-
tween San Salvador and Honduras has so far
begun in earnest that the Salvadorians have
occupied Omoa a coast village of Honduras,
and seven persons were killed. The battle
was the tragical prelude, however, to farce.
The conquering Salvadoran General-Mend-
nieta-seized the President of Honduras,
who happened to be at Omoa, compelled him
to proclaim him (Dlendnieta) President of the
Republic, and was actually inaugurated. This
may be regarded as a good joke; but the real
President is hurrying up with reenforcements,
and the invader may be obliged to fly pre-
cipitately over the border.
The formal separation of Gen. n. T. Banks
from the Grant ranks is noteworthy on ac-
count of his prominent standing in the Re-
publican party of New-England, his natural
reluctance to quit that organization, and
his national reputation. In the cool
atmosphere of Massachusetts, we may ex-
pect to find radicalism, but not sudden
changes. The letter of Gen. Banks, which
we publish to-day, indicates the complete SIN
cerity of his convictions and his determina-
ton to sacrifice mere personal relations to an
overwhelming sense of patriotic duty. There
are many more leading and conscientious men
in the party which Gen. Banks has left who
will soon follow his and Senator Summers ex-
ample and give new weight and impetus 10
the Liberal movement in New-England. Mean
| time Massachusetts, Republicans have no two
spokesmen whose cOunsels the country has
been more accustomed to heed.

of generous and liberal legislation. The

an excellent argument against keeping up for
ever the old cry of "disunion, treason, and
rebellion"

exclusion from those places of trust which
they so perfidiously betrayed, and their treas
enable misleading the Southern masses. Mr.
Greeley, joined by the whole rebel crew, is
hotly denouncing the Administration as ex-
ercising unmerited severity, and insolently
demanding universal amnesty, as a measure
no longer to be withheld! He proposes, in
deed, to speak in the interest of peace; but
the Government that purchases such peace,
on such conditions, and in consequence OF
such outcries, will be sowing the wind, only
in due time to reap the whirlwind!
If, before the Rebellion and during the
same, neither the General Government nor
the people ofthe North felt or manifested any
alienation from the South, wherein have they
since exhibited different spirit? Nowhere.
The Government has extended the shield of
its protection over all classes impartially; it
has sought the suppression OF lawless clans
engaged in whipping, manning and murder
ing innocent citizens on account of their
complexion and loyalty; and then only where
the local government was imperative, either
through fear or willing completely. But no
law-abiding persons have bad just cause of
complaint. Congress appropria ed millions
of dollars to succor the destitute Southern
population after the war, thus returning good
e. u, and blessing for cursing; and private
cence at the North has contributed

Go through the entire North. and no ex-
pressions will be heard inimical to the rights
or interests of the South. Every Southern
man who has been on her soil since the war
ended knows that he has been met with a
kindness which could not have been reason
ably expected. The North is eminently civ
iized, and therefore eminently magma imous
and peaceable. She leads the world in the
forgiveness of enemies there is in all history
no approach to her exceedingly clemency
For Mr.. Greeley, therefore, to ask her to be
reconciled to the South is grossly to insult
her; and every son of hers should feel it as a
personal wound, and resent it with a glow of
moral indignation. She is and has ever been
lifted far above all sectionalsm, and true to
the motto emblazoned on the banner of her
patriotism, ''Our country, our whole country,
and nothing but our country
Let Mr.. Greeley cease casting upon her his
slanderous imputations, and stop his sense
less talk to her of 'clasping hands over a
bloody chasm." 1t is only for the South to
show-by deeds, not words-that she is as
truly loyal and as broadly national, to make
an end of all our divisions. The estrange-
ment is alone on her part.

Blue Light as an Organic Stimulant.

At recent meeting of the Philadelphia
Agricultural Society, General Pleasanton read
an interesting paper on the effects of sun
light on plants and animals when transmitted
through blue glass. Geraniums which had
become unhealthy recovered their vigor and
became more deeply colored when covered
with blue glass, and the branches of the
same grapevine showed remarkable differ
ence in their growth of leaves according as
thy were or were not covered with blue glass.
the leaves of the former having a diameter of
six to eight inches, being of deep-green col
or and perfectly healthy; while the uncover
ed branches were only two inches in diane
ter, and of pale, sickly-yellowish color, in
dicating feeble vitality. The paper also men
toned case of the wife of a PHILADELPHIA
physician. and who had Tor some time been
suffering from complication of disorders
which had baffied the skill of her physicians,
and who, on the suggestion of Gen. Pleas
anton, tried the following plan: Every other
pane OF glass in one of the windows of the
patents room was removed and blue glass
substituted, and the patient required to ex-
pose her back and spine to the action of the
combined blue and white lights for thirty min
utes each day, at the same hour. At the be-
ginning of the treatment she was unable to
sleep or eat, was in a miserable condition
and wasting rapidly. At the end of ten DAYS
the pains in her back were less, her hair had
begun growing thickly, and there was mark
ed Improvement in her general condition, In
three weeks she was almost entirely well.
