Th pnblio indignation which has been ex cited by the infamous project to plaoe the government of the city of Philadelphia in the bands of all-powerful and Irresponsible commissions, will undoubtedly make itself heard at the meeting to be held at Horticul tural Hall to-morrow evening. It is scarcely Beoessary for ns to urge the solid men of Philadelphia to attend this meeting and to protest, by their presence at least, against the attempt that is being madeto hand them Over to the tender mercies of a gang of thieves for such the commissions will un doubtedly prove to be if they erer get into operation. The, people of this city are, we ftre thankful to believe, fully Moused to the importance of checking the conspiracy against their liber ties in its incipiency, and it will be their own fault if the Legislature is not made to under stand that there are some outrages whioh will not be tamely submitted to. The importance of the meeting to-morrow evening is so well understood that it is almost superfluous for ns to dwell upon it, but we will call the atten tion of the gentlemen who will speak upon the occasion to one or two points whioh are of more than ordinary importance. The sixth section of the bill for the crea tion of the Board of Pablio Works is as fol It shall be the duty of the Board of Public Works to cause the streets, lanes, and alleys laid out on the public plan to be opened, and such as they may deem necessary tor the pablio Interests to take poa session of, and to caase the same to be paved, curbed, and, when necessary, oulverted : Provided, That It shall not be lawful for the said board to take possession of any street, road, avenne, or highway until they have given or tendered to the owners of property fronting on the Streets, roads, and highways opened or about to be opened, the bond of the city of Philadelphia, to be executed by the President of said board, at tested by the clerk thereof and the seal of the- said board, conditioned for the payment of such damages as the owners of said property may be awarded by a Jury drawn uader the existing laws relating to opening streets and assessing damages therefor; and for that purpose the Board of Pnblio Works Is hereby authorized to Issue the bond of the city of Philadelphia, executed aa aforesaid." It will be seen that this makes it obliga tory upon the commissioners to cause all the streets, lanes, and alleys on the city plan to be opened, paved, curbed, and, when neoes sary, to be culver ted. We would like to know how many of the citizens of Philadelphia have any adequate idea of the magnitude of the task thus entrusted to the half-dozen gentle men named as Commissioners of Public Works? The city plan covers the whole county of Philadelphia, and all the streets are laid out upon it in order that trouble and con fusion may be avoided in the future when the streets come to be opened. If the streets are not laid down, any person who may build a house in the rural districts, whioh it may be necessary hereafter to remove to make way for a street, will be able to obtain damages. If the streets are laid down, however, it his duty to build his house upon the line of a street, and he will plaoe it else where at his own risk. By far the larger por tion of the county of Philadelphia consists of farm lands, which will not in the ordinary course of events be cut by streets for many years to come; and yet this bill makes it the duty of the commissioners to set to work and open streets to an indefinite extent in every direction. There are now about 000 miles of streets, alleys, and lanes open for travel Borne of these thoroughfares are paved, curbed, and culverted, and others are not, and probably will not be for some time to oome. When we say that the number of miles of streets already opened do not equal one-fifth of the number upon the city plan, we are very far within the mark. It may be safely asserted that 50,000 miles of streets are yet to be opened, paved, curbed, guttered, and culverted. This is a fact that speaks for itdolf, and does not re quire comment. Previous to the last election in New York there were 20,000 men upon the oity pay rolls, every one of whom, as a matter of course, voted the straight Tweed ticket. With 50,000 miles of streets to be opened in this city, our Commissioners of Pnblio Works will -have opportunities that will make Tweed think New York bat a poor plaoe to operate in after all. Leaving out of con sideration the magnificent opportunities for absolutely unrestrained plunder, the Com missioners of Pablio Works can have 100,000 men upon the city pay-rolls at the next election, and can consequently elect any ticket they may choose to put np. Some of our readers may imagine that this is an exaggeration, but we can assure those who are inclined to take a roseate view of the situation that the men for whose spe cial benefit it is proposed to create these commissions will take care to colonize every ward In this city to a sufficient extent to carry the elections, Ten if it should be necessary to have 500,000 men in their pay in order to ac complish their ends and perpetuate their power. Let the commission bills pass the Legislature and receive the assent of the Governor, and the citizens of Philadelphia will have abso lutely no relief exoept by revolution. Legislative Labob. The law-makers of Kew York are very industrious 4his season and have made such good progress that the TYorld, in an Albany despatch, shows how tey Lave "accomplibhed considerable work," by means of a comparison with the result of tbeir labors np to a corresponding date last year. The number of bills Introduced in the Honse f Representatives has Increased from 9G1 to 903, the number reported from 552 to f87, and the number passed from 180 to 22"; tbe only decrease b in iu the item of bills ordered to third reading, which was 275 in 1870 and 270 in 1871. It would be interest ing to know how many of thsse 22. bills which have pushed th House already em brace snbjeots of h-gitinmte and neo?ssiry legislation. Certainly, not a tithe of them. Bnt, then, Albany is wore thau Harrhbnrg. Boss Tweed runs the whole legislative busi ness io New York, and runsit systematically and withont a semblance of oppiition, while in this State bis imitators are merely setting themselves about the task of introducing all the Tatumany improvements. A IVRNINO-POINF IN NATIONAL POLITICS. In tbe whirligigs of American politic epochs occasionally occur when the fate of parties depends upon comparatively trifling event, and the tide of battle is turned in one dir c Hon or another by tbe inoidents and accidents of the hour. There are many indications that one of these epochs has now arrived, and that the continued axcendancy of Republicanism is st rioufcly threatened. General Grant's ad ministration, from whioh so muoh was hoped, is rapidly declining in popularity; and while it is manifest that there will be a powerful opi osition to his renoiui nation, serious fears have been awakened that, a- matters are now progressing, a Democrat will succeed him in the Presidential ohnir. We refer to these conjectures not for the purpose of making captious complaint, bnt to indicate to all whom it my concern the plain drift of pnblio sentiment, so that timely precautions may, if possible, be yet taken to maintain the rule of the party whioh has ren dered such mighty service to the country. The old feeling of antagonism to the Rebel lion no longer furnishes an irresistible source of partisan strength, and the course of the administration in appointing some of the most notorious Rebels to important offices indicates that it does not even wish its adherents to relight tbe camp-fires of the war. Of the Republican politicians, a very considerable number have been alien ated, not merely by the diHappointment of tbeir aspirations for office (for this was inevi table), bnt by what they dt em contemptuous treatment, undue preference to relatives and personal friends, and disregard of the usages of official circles. All these feelings have been intensified by the recent demonstration against Senator Sumner. However unim portant his displacement' from a Sena torial committee may be iu itself, it will consolidate and quicken the opposition within tbe Republican ranks to the adminis tration, and intensify the perils arising from the division of a party against itself. But no matter -wont the politicians may think or do, the administration might still be a tower of strength if it was entrenched in the hearts of tbe American people. Its chief at tempts to secure their regard, however, so far as they have been developed, are based on two measures the rapid ex tinction of the publio debt and the acquisition of San Domingo. We fear, however, thi t more votes wi l be lost than won by this programme. However anxious the American people are to maintain the national credit, they are inexorably opposed to the infliction of unnecessary burdens upon a generation which has already undergone so much privation and suffered so many extor tions. Tbe rich men resent keenly tbe con tinuation of the odious, unequal, unjust, and oppressive in oome tax, and tbe poor men of tbe present day ask why they should be loaded down with taxes which pro duce revenues far ' in exoess of the essential requirements of the National Treasury. It is a grand thing to enforee the laws and to collect the taxes faithfully, but from time immemorial, and in all nations, no matter what might be their form of govern ment, the imposition of useless taxes has ever been a sure road to unpopularity. -At this moment the contraction of the currency also greatly increases tbe inconveniences and sufferings arising from onerous taxation; and while the people see hundreds of millions hoarded up in the National Treasury or stored away in the vaults of the dealers in gold and silver coinage, the scarcity of a circulating medium for their personal use increases and adds to their troubles in meeting business engagements and in satisfying the inoessant demands of national and local tax-gatherers. Persistence in this policy can have bat one end the ruin of any party that upholds it. It is reported that one reason why the scheme for annexing San Domingo is so earnestly pressed is a belief that this acquisi tion will add strength to the Rep tblioin party, and become to it what the annexation of Texas was to the Democracy in 1844. If we do not mistake the signs of the times, however, the thirst for territorial acquisitions is rapidly becoming an abandoned folly; and San Domingo, regarding it in its best aspect, is too unimportant to awaken national en thusiasm. Franklin Pieroe did not win a vote by his purchase of a barren strip of terri tory on the northern frontier of Mexico; Andrew Johnson did not gain a partisan by purchasing Alaska; and while Grant has already lost some useful friends by his anxiety to acquire San Domingo, it remains to be seen how new Republican recruits are to be gained by the Presidential predilebtion for that acquisition. If the Republican party is to retain power, its leaders must cease to waste their energies in family quarrels; due regard must be paid to the interebts of tbe loyal and long-suffering tax payers of the North; industry must be en couraged and business stimulated, insteal of Wing depressed; and fanciful theories or ambitious schemes for an enlargement of territoiial sway must be supplanted by an anxious desire to render the greatest possible assistance and relief to a patient and pitriotio people. Hit. E. L. DA V EN PORT. Thx drama, more than any other form of art, uppesls directly to the tastes and sympathies of all classes in the community, cultured as well as uncultured. A picture or a statue can never inspire the same powerful emotions that a great tragedy does, if it in adequately represented, and if the effects of the drama are more evanescent than those of the other artH, they are at the same time more vivid aid impressive for tbe time being, and are un derstood and appreciated by a muoh larger number of persons. The importance of the drama, therefore, merely considered as a moral Agent, and without regard to its influence on general culture, cannot be overestimate, and any intelligent and conscientious effort to raise the standard of dramatio art is worthy of tbe most cordial encouragement. The success of tbe Chesnut Street Theatre under its present management is a matter in whioh tbe general publio are largely interested, for if Mr. Davenport does aohieve a permanent success in the line which he has marked out fur himself, the benefits will not aoorue merely to a comparatively small number of habitual playgoers, but will extend them selves to an indefinite extent through society at lsrge. Mr. Daverport has for many years been acknowledged by tbe most competent judges as tbe most accomplished actor upon the American stage. He does not equal Mr. For rest in tbe grandeur wnich make some por tions of that gentleman's performances un approachable; he does not equal Mr. Booth iu his faculty for inventing new and attrac tive stage-business, or in his exquisite taste in costume, andhe may fall below other actors in some special points. There is no per former upon the American Btage, however, who is fio thoroughly an artist in all the essentials of his art, or who can approach him in his wonderful versatility. Mr. Forrest and Mr. Booth can not play comedy at all, and Mr. Murdoch, who is a most delightful comedian, is more of an elocutionist than an actor when he at tempts tragedy; bnt Mr. Davenport can play tragedy and comedy, melodrama and farce, in all varieties, with', equal facility, and that his tragedy is up to the highest mark of high art bis recent performance of the part of "Sir Giles Overreach" has sufficiently demon strated. Mr. Davenport is not only a great actor, but he is a gentlemen of unblemished reputation, and tbe assurance which he made at the beginning of his season at the Cbesnut, that no immoral performances will be given under his management, will most undoubtedly be kept; and if the support of the publio is what it should be, plays of the highest class will alone be produced. Mr. Davenport has already accomplished the heaviest portion of his task in removing the prejudices which a number of seasons ef bad management hud excited against the Caesnut Street Theatre, and although he commenced his career es a manager under a variety of disadvantages, be has aohieved a success that is as gratifying as it was unexpected to .even his warmest ad mirers. It Mr. Davenport has health and strength to go on with his work, the future of the Chesnut Street Theatre cannot be doubtful, and the citizens of Phikde'phia will not otily have cause for congratulation in the fact that the standard drama will have a permanent home here, but that the most beautiful of our theatres will bo presided over by tbe mobt aooomplished of Amerioan actors. The Blttmtness of Blunt is a thing beauti ful to behold. The New York Tribune accused him of stealing $126,000 out of $290,000 paid nominally to the Indians; whereupon Mr. James G. Bluat writes a letter demanding a correction, and 'assert ing that the amount paid the In dians in question was $349,742, out of which Blunt was paid by the Indians, "as per contract," the Bum of $148,830-80. This accomplished thief so glories in his rascality that he is even anxious to claim credit for a larger share of plnnder that is laid at his door. But he professes to regard the '.'trans action" as one that "has been closed, and is among the things of tbe past." It is, per haps, useless to attempt a reopening of it; bnt it is worth the while of President Grant to see to it that Blunt's disposition to "con tinue to prosecute business for Indians and others" is materially obstructed. Under the new powers recently conferred upon the Board of Indian Commissioners, Blunt will doubtless find 42 per cent., "as per contract," a little more difficult to realize than in the past. But it will be worth while to watoh him, and for everybody to watoh him, and the whole horde of border thieves of which be is merely a fair sample. The Sense of Pbopbiett exhibited occa sionally by the anti-obstruotionists is com mendable. Having an eye to the best mar ket, they have established the depot for sup. plying copies of the petition to the Legisla ture for nullifying the vote of last October, at No. 127 S. Seventh street. This is within a stone's throw of Washington Square, and, to s .y the least, is quite bandy for property, owntrs in that locality. If the depot had been tBtab.isbed further up town, it would not have been so very 'convenient to the only class who are interested in keepting the inter section clear. TUE NEW UAMPSUJItE ELECTION.

An effort was made to secure an endorsement of tbe Democratic ticket by the Labor Reformers, but it failed, and tbey mado separate notnlna- tions, except in the First Congressional district. The nomination of the Rev. James Pike for Governor, by the Republicans, satisfied the Temperance, wing of the party, and they have not entered the contest with a ticket of their own. Mr. Pike, the Republican candidate for Governor, ii a prominent Methodist clergyman who has been in political life heretofore, having represented the First district in Congress from 1855 to 1859. Mr. Weston, the Democratic candidate for Governor, is at present Mayor of Manchester, and is a gentleman of ability and great popularity. Mr. Cooper, the Labor Reform candidate for Governor, is an old politician who was formerly allied to the Repub lican organization. The dolegatlon in the Forty -first Congress was all Republican, but the only old member renominated Is General Aaron F. Stevens, one of the ablest members of the last House. The vote of the State since 1800 has been as follows, the votes marked thus () including all scattering votes. In 1863 there were two Republican candidates for Governor, and, aa the Constitution requires a majority of all the votes cast to elect, there was no election by the people: Yrar. Rrp. Dm. Rep.tfnf.

The Labor . Reformers this year will doubtless poll as beavy a vote as last year, but the State i regarded as safely Republican by at least 1590 majority. Tbe vote for Congressmen in 1869 was as follows: Rip. tDem. Rep, maj. First Di strict 11, 1 88 1 1,379 1761 Second District 11,613 ,8t 1647 Third District 11,264 10,691 63 The only district about which there has been any doubt is the Second, but it has at la-it been conceded that General Stevens will ba success ful, and that the delegation will remain a Re publican unit In the Forty-second Congress.
