urNrS no TILE IDLE.

In no great popular movement have the
People displayed more intelligence, discipline
and self-dependence, than in the present cam
noicp Still. il is evident from numerous COM
mun;cations that many persons stand idle,
waiting TO know how they can do more than
cast their individual votes, in November, for
Greeley and Brown. For such we offer some
suggestions toward effective work:
|. Endeavor to increase the circulation Oh
the newspapers published in your respective
locality. There is no better campaign docu-
ment than the local newspaper. BE 1t large
or small, if it is heartily devoted to the popu-
lar cause it will necessarily contain incite-
ments to earnest, resolute action in the appeals
and arguments it presents in successive num-
bers. However apathetic or hostile voter
may now be- he will not, if he is open to honest
conviction, resist the influence of the facts
published, between this and November, In any
one paper devoted to National Reform. VINO
ever, therefore, adds even single name 10
the subscription list of such paper, has laid
the basis of an overwhelming circle of effective
aid to the popular cause.
III. Circulate campaign documents. Several
of these have already been published and have
distributed. 1t is probable that "Senator
Summers Speech" one of the most effective
publications of the campaign, has been read
by 100000 of our people, and as Its impeach-
ment has never been answered, 1t continues
to lead every one intent on voting wisely ana
patriotically into the Liberal ranks. The same
is true in a measure of the proceedings OF
"the National Convention" containing Senator
Schurz's mastery address, and OF Mr..
"Greeley's Record " which shows the states
manlike policy he advocated at the close OF
the civil war, and the defiant attitude he held
when the principle of justice and the securl-
ties afforded by tho Constitution were i'm
pered.
iii. Organize Clubs. Be your number ten or
ten hundred, your power for good will be re-
doubled when. you resolve yourselves INTO an
organized body. Your Club will form the nu-
cleus of an organization which in movement
like the present must daily expand, and be an
effective barrier against the intrigues and ter
rorism of ofiicc-holders. Each Club should
appoint appropriate committees; make list OF
all the voters in its district canvass each one
thoroughly, and hold public meetings at conve-
nient times. 1t should encourage fraternity
among those who have differed in the past, not
alone by candid professions, but by stimulating
cordial, hearty intercourse. In aword, it should
be incossant in all branches of political action,
relying mainly upon its own strength, until
victory will crown its efforts in November.
"Tbs is a country worth fighting for" and
if the People only exercise the vigilance and
display the organization which the occasion
demands, they cannot be Overborne, were cor
ruption twice as strong and audacious.

FDITORLALS TO ORDER.

There is what is called Correspondents
Association in Washington, the object of which
i, to furnish good strong denomination stuff
to the country newspapers The Secretary of
this Joint Stock Scribbling Company is Mr..
Robert Douglass, who is also the Presidents
Private Secretary. Leading articles are fur
1ished by the gross or dozen to the rural
Republican" journals, and one of these, cut
from sheet of such, it has been our good
fortune to secure in its virgin or unpublished
state. AS it will probably be printed in
some far-away region, and in some newspaper
Of limited circulation, we may properly offer
a few of the plums of it to our readers. 1t is
entitled "Greeley's Election to the Presidency
and it begins in the following frightful and
Justly alarming way "War, famine, and pes
"tilence are terrible calamities to befall any
"mtion, people, or country. But worse than
"aly one or all these combined would be the
" election of Greeley to the Presidency" Now

abe yet up on the ruins of the Union! ~ Gra-
cious goodness!
8. 'Infidelity, free-lOve, and MOrmonism

is sacred and binding in society, and spread
moral ruin and blight over all this fair,
"Iappy, prosperous, and peaceful country"

with our hands upon our mouths, and our
mouths in the dust Well may we implore it,

famine, and pesence, and the calamity disaster, and

United States"
Readers of weak nerves are requested to
stop here and refresh and strengthen them
selves among our advertising columns. For
whoever thinks that nothing worse is to
come, has not sufficiently considered the pos
sible depths of human depravity Of course,
we encounter Caligula aud Nero, and are told
that those amiable Romans "as tyrants would

necessity of feeding Committees before they can

TIE REFORMED CIVIL SERVTCE AGAIN.
Mr.. George William Curtis probably reads
the cable dispatches from Alexandria with the
same cOmpOslre which he has preserved I'M
der the affliding behavior of Cramer and
Casey. Sncehe was appoined official defend
er of the Civil Service, he has never allowed
the most stubborn facts to interfere with the
discharge of bis allotted functions. The Presi-
dent, in the rosy writings of Mr. Curtis, APP
pears as the s,ernest of reformers, the scourge
of delinquent officials. and the regeneratOr of
politics Honesty and efficiency are the only
qualities that ind favor in his eyes. Personal
friendship and political service are alike un-
able to move him; and for blood relations and
presenters of bull pups he has no more bowels
of comp assion than a brass monkey. The
grossest misconduct, to be sure, is daily report
ed of the Presidents appOintees; but Mr..
Curtis pays nc attention to it, The dismissal
of clerks and pOstmasters for disloyaty to
"the Administration is more scandalOus than
ever before; but Mr.. Curtis does not see it.
The abuses Of patronage multiply; the new
rules andregulations are suspended before they
have fairly been tried and nobody is ever
discharged for misbehavior or incapacity; yet
Mr. Curtis is constantly asking us to admire
Gen. Grants great reform.
In effect Mr. Curtis makes himself the pa
tron and defender of all the vagabonds, ruff
fans, and political spectators who disgrace
the service of brother-in-law Casey, whose ad-
ministratiOn of Federal affairs in Louisiana has
been such a flagrant scandal; of brother-in-
law Cramer, who has disgraced the American
name at Copenhagen and now OF this vulgar
brlliser at Alexandria, who has been kept in
Office, to the shame of the United States
Executive, not for his honesty" certainly
not for his efficiency" but purely on account
of the "politcal activity" of his uncle. Mr..
George II. Buffers character was pretty well
known before he went abroad. His career i'll
this city was not an incOnsplcuOus one. for it
never was to his taste to blush unseen. If
there had been any doubt of the improperly
of his appointment it must have been removed
when Gen. Grant nominated him for the Con-
sui Generalship at Calcutta, and the Senate
refused to confirm him. His life at Alexan-
dria hss been a prolonged disgrace-not to
himself, for it has been consistent with his
life in other places-but to the Government
which keeps him there and the eulogists who
applaud his retention. He has taken himself
of at last, to escape the consequences OF his
latest street brawl. He might have remained
without fear of mOlestatiOn from his own
Government, for as long as Benjamin F. But
l.r remained faithful Grant would have pro-
tcted George II. Butler, and Curtis would
have defended Grant

full cOurt-the unanimity with which the
managers arranged their case and the posi-
tive manner in which the court refused to
adjourn for the convenience of the arraigned
Judge, who ia suffering from gout, indicate
short and sharp disposal of this important
case On the other hand, tho absence of cul
prit and senior counsel, and the pettifogging
motions for delay made by junior representa-
tives, betray the poverty of the defense.
The simple truth is that there is no defense
in law or morals for the outrages which for
years past Barnard has perpetrated upon this
community. The facts collected by the
Committee and now to be presented by
the Managers are incontroyertible. The
effect of his maladministration of his
Office has been disastrous to many branches
of business, and thoroughly demoralizing.
to justice and to the legal profession.
All public confidence in his honesty has long
been lost, and to inflict him, through any
political intrigue or personal favor, upon this
people again, will be an outrage which they
can never forget. We have no fears that the
Court will do this. They magnify the influence
of the man and his few political adherents-Or
friends, rather, for followers he never had
who imagine the Senate may be won to ignore
his many offenses. If the Managers but half
do their duty, and present the whole case
against hin, scarcely Senator dare hesitate
to do his duty, or remain absent to avoid
the responsibility of a vote

circumstances, are the men who will greet il only
with good -natured laughter The Messrs Blair Col.
Charles G.. Greene, Mr. COchrane, and other Demo
Gratis hardly require a spick-and-span pamphlet to
inform them that Mr. Greeley has said hard things
of them just as they have said hard things Of him.
We fancy that the union Of Cincinnati and Balti-
more was scarcely effected without sufficient recol

In The JeirisA Times Of last week we lind mcn,i)n
of the return Of Prof GTatz and Messrs. Levy.
potzin, and Gottschalk from Palestine. Their 10
port is set down by The JeTiSh Times as " an adj
ditional argument against the folly of encouraging
the emigration of the Jews to a country which has
no other claim than that OF a venerable monument
of the past" There now it appears, about 5000
Jews living in Palestine, and their average state
of culture is much below that Of their fellow
regioniss in Europe. They have 10 visible means
of support spend their time in ideness praying, and
Talmud-reading, and foolish pinlng and signing on
the ruins Of the Temple, cking out miserable ex-
stence by the charity of the Jews of Europe, Amer
ica and Australia" CurOusly enough, the memorial
of their visit by Prof Gratz and his companions also
suggests " the general elimination from all Jewish
prayer-books of the portions referring TO the hopes
of Israel in the restitution of the Holy Land 20 tho
possession OF Israel and the rebuilding Of the Tenn
pie by Divine Providence" The Times considers it
mot only folly but a crime to feed the sichy
imagination Of poor. ignorant people by the harci-
nation; as if spot earth had greater value IN
the eyes of God and prayers sent up to Heaven fr m
a certain locality find sooner hearing from The
