Mr.. BEEcHEE appointed the Sun
day after the recent election for the
baptism of children. Due notice
had been given from the pulpit, and
among the array of little ones pre-
scented was a bright, curly-headed
boy, and Mr.. Beechcr proceeded
with the service: "This child, Hor-
ace Greeley, l bap--." 1t was
too much for the congregation, and
the announcement was greeted with
universal laughter, which drowned
the rest Of the sentence, while auIid
the laughter tho only thing heard
was the exclamation Of lady, evil

The President and Civil Service Re-
form,

If there was any one thing more
than another, during the late cam
paign, which the confederate press
and orators treated with con-
temptuous derision, it was the
assumed interest of the President
in the reformation of the civil SER
vice. 1t was pronounced a sham
and dclusion-.a mask put on to Sc
cure his reelection; and the asser-
ton was repeatedly made that the
offices were already apportioncd to
those who were most active ard in
fuential in bringing about that re-
suit. In this connection, it was
the fashion of those journals and
sneakers to allude to Simon Came
ron as one who, having been instru-
mental in casting the State of Penn
sylyania INTO the scale in favor of
Grant, would be likely to enjoy UNI
limited influence with the Admins
tration, to the extent of practically
debating the appointments from
that State.
The refutation Of these aspcrsions
has come sooner than the authors
anticipated. Some time since the
important position Of postmaster at
Philadelphia became vacant by the
resignation Of the incumbent. Mr..
George Truman, prominent mer-
chant, was suggested for the office,
and last week a delegation of thirty,
headed by Simon Cameron, Cover

A Good Cause.

The American Sunday School
Union, now in the 10th year of it's
labors, with $4,000 Sunday Schools
organized as its record, is still push
ing its work vigorously, for which
there is greater need than ever
There are thousands of neighbor-
hoods in the Northwest that arc
destitute Of Sunday Schools. Since
March !, 1872, this Society has or
ganizcd 325 new Schools in this de-
partmeut, and in the last three years
over 1000 in the whole land; and
that, too, in neglected places and
frontier settlements. The impor-
lance of this pioneer work cannot
be ovcrcstimated in whatever as
pect it is considered. 1t reaches
the most hopeful and impossible
GLASS, the children, and provides
them with means Of moral and re-
ligious instruction. As this is the
only National Union Society that
devotes itself exclusively to the
children, otherwise unprovidcd with
Sunday Schools, its appeal should
find a hearty and liberal response.
All, without regard to name or sect,
can sympathize with its work and
confidently aid in its support, with
the assurance that their contribu-
tons will be devoted to planting
Sunday Schools where there are
none now, yet where they are much
needed. At least $4,000 is re-
quired for this work in the North
West this yoar, and friends OF tho
childrcn's cause are requested to
send their contributions to

Tue papers are yet quoting Gree

announcement in his late card upon
resuming editoria! charge Of the
Tribune, of his purpose to make the
paper an Independent journal, Mr..
Greeley's opinion of less than 4

philosopher changed? If the latter,
it would be interesting to know what

IT is creeping out that Mr.. Greeley,
as was frequently charged, did not
sever his connection with the New
York Tribune, except in name, and
that he put forth his best efforts to
secure the election of his fayorite
candidate to the Presidency. The
Nsw Orleans Times, in speaking of
the great industry Of Greeley, says:
''In fact, we doubt whether he ever
relinquished his labors on that pa
per-, even Throughout the height and
excitement of the campaign. On a
visit paid by the writer to Mr.. Gree
ley Immediately after returning from
the famous Western tour, he found
him correcting numerous proof-slips
evidently Of the Tribune print. y
This explains the unbranded cnthu-
siasm with which that paper sup
ported candidat Of whom it was in

may love and venerate the philoso-
pher, but he don't know how to ex-
press his admiration so well as the
venerable editor-in-chief. If there
IS any great man in the land who
knows just how great he is, that
man is Greeley. Like Mark Twain,
who used to introduce himself as a
man whose stunning ability was on
ly exccllcd by his extraordinary pi-

ing that he made his own introduc.
ton because he was comparative
stranger in the town, and knew him.

doubt, claimed to write those thrill

understood exactly how much he
deserved at the hands Of the 'sinde
pendent journals" of.the country.

The man who deserves the most
sympathy in the routed Liberal
camp, and who obtains the least, is
the Hon. b. Gratz Brown. No one
seems to care for him or to to in
quire after him. One of the prime
movers Of the late movement, he as.
plrcd to tic first place on the Pres
ldential ticket and took the second.
During the campaign he was cuffed
and handled about, made all sorts
OF fun of-and the worst of it was.
even his own confederates made lit
tie effort to defend him. If thew
mad any concern at all respecting
his movements it was that he sho'd
not make any.
Mast pinned his card to Greelcy's
coat-tall constantly in his admira-
Die carlcatures, and with such mex
presslble effect that there could be
no answer to it. 1t told it's story;
1t was little Gratz Brown, and no
magician could change it's meaning
or its appropriateness. If there is
anything calling to sensitive man
1T is to have his own insigniticance
thrust upon his attention. He can
no more lift himself out Of it than
he can lift himself up by his boot
straps. All this it has been poor
little Gratz Browns fate to bear.

nor lIartrantt, the Mayor of Phila-
dclphia, and other politicians of
note, went to Washington to urge
the appointment of Mr.. Truman.
They were granted an interview,
and proceeded to bring pressure
to bear upon the President, such as
men in his position have in times
past rarely found it possible to with
stand. Mr.. Truman was an active
Republican during the campaign,
and his distinguished advocates de-
,nanded his appointment as recog-
milton of his and their services in
securing Republican victory in
their State. To all this the Presi-
dent returned the following answer:
Gentlemen: do not we'll see how 1t would be
proper for me to set aside the rules and regula-
lions Of the Civil Service Commission. some
time ago determined to enforce these regulations
on every proper occasion. What have we here!
There are two candidates presented, both Repub.
tcAns. One OF them, Mr.. Fa1rman {8has been an

time, and am satisfied that he is fully competent
to discharge the duties of postmaster. III | were

appoint Mr. Truman. but l cannot conscicn-
tiously do this.

tally elated with the result of their
mission, and the dispatches in yes

gences Of the appointment OF Mr..
Fairman to the position without in
tiucnce, solicitation or prcssures, but

cellent principle of promotion,

and efficient, marked out by the Civ
