Hie Valuation ol I'ropertr nt Landing A venue. Tiik member of Sik-ct Council who recent laid before that body a statement relative Co the valuation of the property at Lauding avenue, had, we are assured, no Intention to impeach the integrity nor interfere unn ceesarily with the private interests of any of the owner. He honestly believed that the awtrd made by the jury appointed to as9C3 the damans sustained by the owners of the ground by reason of its being selected and nppropilated by the City Government tor pub lic use, is, in the aggregate, excessive; ami so bclieviug.it was cleirly his duly to take such steps as might be required to protect the people of Philadelphia against paying for the land in question more than it wai really worth. Ills action in the premises don not of itself sit aside the award, but only suojects it to a re view, of which the legitimate effect will be to couflrm the award if right, or to disaffirm it if wrong." None caa prwiibly bo iniured by this proceed'nc, provided it be conducted, as we have no doubt it will bo, with no other purpose than to ascertain the 1 truth and to do justice to all concerned. The inquiry, of course, is, whether the jury in flxino the price to be paid for n by tha city, and (or which the citizens are to be taxed to raise the amount, did or d'd not overestimate the value of the property? VFe have previously remarked that the a'sesfsmont of leal estate for taxation is, generally seik Ing, below, and in soma nstaaces very much below, its real value; and that, accoidinf!y, it should not be relied upon as a criteriou of valuation when anv particular piece of real estate is taken tor public use. Nevertheless, when, as in the present case, a smill strip of land that has paid taxes on a basis of fifty thousand dollars is suddraly app aisjJ at four hundred and elgbty-six thousand om hundred and n ncty-nino dollars, after the city hasproposod to appropriate it tar munici pal purposes, the discrepancy in the two valuations Is surely great enough to demand judicial inquisition. There are some facts touching this matter that have come to our knowledge, and which we deem it but riirht and proper to camm int cate to the public. In valuing private pro perty taken for public use, the juries to assess the damage to be paid by the city should be selected with special cure. Ihey should con sist of men whoso honesty is not only incor tuptible, but who arc eminently qualified by cxpciicnce nud into licence to dLscharze the duty for which they are eliosen. Now it hap pens that the jury appointed to valua the pro perty at Landing avenue was composed of one drupg'st, one carpenter, three clerks, and one gardener. It would seem that such par sons, ludging from their vocations merely. were certainly not the most competent judges taat might have been employed to appraiso real estate. It is true that they held llfty-Ova meetings, attended by counsel for tho owners of the property and the city; that they visited the ground in the presence of the owners and their counsel; that witnesses on bshalf of each owner and the city were examined before them; and that finally, aft2r tha case was argued on both sides by the legal gentlemen engaged, the award was made. Yet all this investigation and discussion would not be sufficif nt to insure an entirely just decision, if the jury were not intelligent enough to judgo of the iacts for themselves, indepen dently of any information or advice derived from those interested either to overrate or underrate the property. That the jury in ' question were so qualified Is mora than dsubt- ' ful, and it is therefore right and important to revise their conclusions. Mt reover, we ore informed that the trround which the city was required to take, at a cost of nearly hall a million of dollars, is not, ia fact, woi th much, if any more than the s lm at which it was assessed for taxes. It is not of great extent ; it is not susceptible, by rea son ol its peculiar position and surroundi igs, of any improvement bkely to enhance its value to its owners, now or hereafter, to any considerable degree a State law, indeed, re stricts Its improvement or employment in any manner likely to contaminate the water supplied to the city from Fairmount ; and it has been sat sfactorily ascertained that the rental of the property did not very much ex ceed the legal interest that would ba paid on a capital ol fifty thousand dollars, which Is the sum at which it was assessed for taxation. It is also said, by those who havo taken the trouble to lulorm themselves upon the subject, t'jat the amount, or very lit'le mire than the amount which the city is required to pay lor tiiis contracted, unimproved, and practically unimprovable strip of river bank lying between Fairmount Park and the Fa'r. mount Wtter Work?, with the Reading Rail road Immediately in tho rear, would purchase the ent re east eld j of the Shujlkill river, ex tending an equal or greater distance batfk from the river line, from Fairmount Paik up to Lau rel 1111 11 If this be so, thou jne people will naturally ask why they shall be taxed to pay I alf a million of dollars for a property that will be comparatively valueless to them, ivben, for the same, or nearly the same money THE DAILY KYEKiKG TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 18CG. they can secure a stretch of country of not only far greater area, but which would, if added to Fairmount Park, form one of the most magnificent and beautiful public plea sure grounds to be found anywhere in tho world. It is not our provinca, nor are we disposed, to particularly criticize the award of the Jury in this case. The court having jurisdiction of the matter, and the City Solicitor, will, no doubt, periorm that duty very effectually. Hut we may say, since the facts are within our knowledge, that while the awards made by the ju-y are nearly correct and fair In some instances, they are enormously unlair in others. There Is ductal warrant for saying that one award for 70,023 should not exceed $29,003; that another for $38,37708 chouid not exceed $14X00; and that a third for $92,000 should not exceed $fi0.000 1 The report of tho jury ia open to many similar exceptions ot less magnitude! It Is not our business to explain why cer tain pieces of property are estimated far above their real value, and others not. ' The jury cho-en to assess them all must answer that question, and they will probably b8 com pelled to give an account of their stewardship. In tho meanwhile we I ave thought it our duty to call public attention to the subject; to ascertain and publish such facts regarding it us the press may properly disclose; and to let it be understood, generally, that in a case of so much consequence to the tax-payers of Philadelphia we shall not. if we caa help it, allow injustice to be done them without timely exposure and protest. A Uniform Militia System. Tiik experience of the late civil war has taught our people and statesmen many lm portant lessons, and not the least importaut of them is, the imperfectness of our present militia system, and the necessity for a butter one. This matter has hitherto boca left with the several States, aud th? consequence has been, as might naturally have been expected, a etncral neglect ot the etitject. In somj of the (states the laws respecting military service were much moio stringent than in others, though in none was any complete me thod of organization aud practice d -vised or enforced. The fine for non compliance with all statute provisions touching the matter was so trifling, that most persons preferred to incur and pay it rather, than attend a militia muster ; and the result was, that what but few citizens thought worth attention fell into universal disregard and coutempt. This was altogether wroug, especially in a republic whose policy has ever been op posed to the maintenance of a large standing army. It has been our boast that the United Stales can safely rely for defense on its militia, against either domestic insurrection or foreign invasion; and we have, thus far, managed prftty well to pass successfully through the few contests that have tried that theory since the Revolution to tho present time. But it must be confessed that our different wars would probably have been less expensive and of shorter duration, if we had been better pre pared for them in respect of a competent body of v. dl-drillcd soldiers, ready to take tho field at the first call to duty, and to perform that duty with tho eflkiency of regulars. There can be no doubt that, with our superior resources both of men and muuitions, we can hold out longest in any conflict which the world may wage against us, and that, in the end, we shall tri umph by sheer dint of endurance. But this is not sufficient. There should be economy in war as in everything else. It is the obvious interest of every nation to save money and life, and it is unquestionably true that the best security against a war, foreign or domestic, is to be fully prepared for it at all times. They meet this requisition of sound defensive policy in Europe by enormous bodies of regular trcops, kept perpetually in garrison, in camp, and on foreign service, at an oppressive cost to the people who ate required to main tain such establishments; and besides the onerous tax imposed on the community for that purpose, and the loss suffered by the withdrawal from useful industrial pursuits of hundreds of thousands of able-bodied men, it not unfrequcntly happens that the Govern ments which keep up such huge military organizations are obliged to invent wars for their employment in order to prevent insur rection at home. We are wiser than the European monarchies ia avoiding a military system which is a constant and severe drain on the treasury of a nation, and which, at the same time, tends to cultivate a belligerent spirit. Yet it cannot be denied that we are not caret ul enough to make our militia equal io practical efficiency to the emergencies that may at any moment demand their service. This fact was strikingly exemplified in the beginning of tho recent Rebellion. When volunteers were suddenly called for by the loyal State Governments and the Federal Goveiument, there were but few men who were fully prepared to take the field. The majority of those brave and patriotic citizens who enlisted in defense of the Union were totally uneducated in the manual of the sol dier, and weeks and even months were lost iu training raw recruits for the exercise and duties of actual martial conflict. It was too late to remedy the defect ttien, though none failed to realize and deplore it. Let u, there fore, reap benefit in the future from tiie dis advantages suffered in the past. Our own State militia law is so radically and entirely defective as to be practically worthless, ihe Inspector-General, Mr. Todd, has recently exposed numerous and serious imperfections, and advised some adequate relorm. But Governor Cucns.ln his messago to the present Legislature, says he is not pre pared to make any recommendation on the subject, us he observes with great pleasure that ''Congress is proposing to establish a uniform system throughout the United states.' lie Is wire in preferring one general, uniform, national militia system to many various, con fllctlrg, and severally inefficient systems. 4nd it is to be hoped that Congress will carefully consider this subject, and meet its require ments with all that pcrfectness of detail and harmony of general plan which the exigency so urgently demands. President Jackson, who was a man of largo military talent aud experience, said, la his fhst Inaugural address, "that he bulwark of our defense is tho national militia, -vhlch, in the prosent state of our intelligence and population, must render us invincible. As long as our Government is adminhterad for the gool ol the people, anils regulated by their will ; as long as it secures to us the rights of person and property; and so long as it i3 worth defending a patriotic mill ,1a will cover it with an impenetrable cgls. Partial inju ries and occasional mortifications we may ba sulji cted to; but a million of armed freemen, possessed of the means of war, can never ba conquered by a foreign foe. In any just system, therefore, calculated to strengthen this national safeguard ol the country, I shall cheerfully leul all the aid ia my power." These were the sentiments of a soldier and statesman who fully understood the great value of an efficient national milit'a system; and the present Congress hould not adjourn without supplying that part of our political f-ccnemv which the opinions of enlightened lub'.ic'bts and the letsons of experlance con cur in persuading ua to regacJ as of vital importance.

Ct KSKKVATiva journals, not only in oiu c'ty, but m almost all of the leading towns of the country, have seen flr to comment, in no chosen terms, upon what they are pleased to style our radicalism. A Baltimore paper, a few days since, saw tit to announce, "that in virulence and hatred of the South, the Phila delphia Evening Tki.eobapii had fewsupe riors in Northern journalism." We hail such testimony as a complin .em. to or?r devotion to our national uaity and unserving adherence to those doctrines which must save and per petuate the Union. Thoee of our contempo raries, who continually prate about the re newed loyalty of the South, of the repentance and devotion io the nation in tl.e late Rebel States, do so in direct opposition to the facts displayed day by dav, by those of whose re generation they are assuring us. The article from the Galveston News, from which we make an extract, is but the utterance of a sen timent which exists in all portions of the South the open declaration of an opinion which is supported by each and every com munity from the Potom to to the Rio Grande. Beaten at the bayonet, they seek to win by deceptive policy what they failed, to achiave on the field of battle. ''With the end of the war their strugcle for Southern independence has but j jst commenced." By such a course as that displayed ia the Southern States was Charles V induced to oven un tho Netherlands; by such a spirit of intollerant insolence, ot audacity evea in defeat, was Rome provoked almost to the extermination of the Visigoths; yet what could not be tamely brooked by one man, tha fcouthein Rebels expect will be meekly re ceived by a great people a people from whose midst a million fellow-citizens have been dragged and sacrificed on the worse than Druid altar of Southern ambition. The appearance of such an article as tho cne from which we quote, and its republica tion in other journals in the Cotton States, displays an arrogant, rebellious spirit, which lo pass by unrebuked would be both degrad ing and dangerous. We therefore are re joiced that a sub-coram'tteo on reconstruc tion is ubout to visit the South, and see for itself the condition of Southern sentiment. We will have in its report an official and circumstantial account of the contiuuance ot that evilt spirit which the defeated cannot exorcise. It is only through the fire that his presence can bo removed, and through tho fire the South must go. Tho extract given is tut a 6amplo of the general tone of tho South ern press, and in itself answers all the argu ments against us on the score of personal animosity or intemperate hatred. In 1737 Feanklin wrott-: "f now began to turn my attention to public affairs, beginning, however, with small matters The city watch was one of the first things that I conceived to want regulation. It was managud by the constables of tho respective wards In turn. The constablo summoned a number of house keepers to attend him for the night. Those who chose never to come paid him six shil lings a year to be excused, wh'u h was sup posed to go to b'rlng substitutes, but was In reality much more than necessary for that purpose, and made tho constableship a place of profit, .dnd the constable, for a Utile drink, often got such ragamiijjlns about Mm as a watch, that respectable housekeepers did not choose to mix with. Walking the rounds, too, was often neglected, and most of the night vpent in tippling." We do not know whether the position of constable has a degenerating effect, or whither degenerate citizens have always been selected for the office; but true it Is, that the same popular eccentricities that characterized the constabulary foice in 1737 can be remarked among the policemen of 1830. It is not our desire to montion localities, but at tho corner of two of our loading thoroush fare s can bo seen the guardians of the public peace surrounded continually by a band of blacklegs, gamblers, swindlers, and thieves, who, although exquisitely dressed, are as objectionable to "resprctablo housekeepers" as weie tho "ragamuffins" that accompanied Ihe constables more than a century ajo. From such associations pood pooplj ara afraid to trust the officer who has such men for bis companions, and the rumor is current that an appefil to any of theso pollcs tnen ngainet the crimes of their boon bar fellows is worse than useless. No less than three Instances have recently come under our notice, in which a brawl took placa at an early hour of tho evening, at the corner of a street where a spec'al policeman is detailed to constantly stand, nnd Innocent ignorant parties have been robbed within sight of the principal hotels of our city. It is with no de sire to interfere with tho duties of our muni cipal authorities that we complain and protest, but as public servants we are compelled by duty to do what we can to protect the peace able and punish tho guilty. Upon the next occ&s'on of a disturbance similar to ihS3 of which wo have recently heard, we shall pub lish in full the names, the I. culity, gambling bouse, and drinking ce'lar, and let ail our waders know not only ol the extent of the evil, but of all those who are guilty of con nivance at, or a participation in, ths crimes.

'Ihe size of New York, at that time, was the same as the Quaker City, and the total shipping of toe metropolis was 300,000 tons a year. Then Philadelphia va3 the repre sentative city of America. Would it not be an instructive to son for our City Fathers to examine into the causei wh oh have led to the decline if not the fall of cr municipality? What domestic geni has favored New York an 1 slighted us? Would it not be better for as to cease following a phantom of past renown, and secure the bedily agency which accompanies energy and well-directed eaterprs"? It U a melancholy fact that we havu been so long accustomed to sitting at our hearthstone and gloating over the shadow of past renown, that wo have gradually become accustomed to living on the possession of Fkankia's memoiy and the titate House; that we have almost sunk info the position of imbecile do tards, who live only in their youthful days and totally isuore tlu present. Let us allow the conqueror of el. ctileity to take care ot his own fame with posterity, and so act ourslvps that our children will not have to pass over this generation in order to find some emblem on which to exercls.; local pride. By energy and liberalicy we can secure for our c'ty the lost power she once possessed. But while we are waiting other towns are acting, and unless we come speedily to a conclusion, we will find, when our resolution Is taken, that the field Is no longer open, and tbat our rivals have se cured the position and merited the wealth v hich nature has designed to be justly ours.
