TUESDAY, ArRIL 3. 1800.
Illegality of the Contracts tor Cleansing:
the Streets.
On Saturday last there seemed to be a very
great probability that this city would be
totally unprepared for the Impend! n(j visit
of the cholera, except as a hotbed is prepared
to afford unnatural growth to plants that
need special nursing and nouilshln?. It is
only a few weeks a?o that Councils, after
wasting a great deal of precious time in
palavering and twaddliag about the matter,
passed an ordinance authorizing Mayor
AIcMicuakl to award to competent persons
contracts for the removal of all dirt, etc.
from the streets for five years, at a rate ot
charge per annum not exceeding a specified
limit. Under and in pursuance of that law,
the Mayor proceeded, with all convenieut
despatch, to execute the duty devolved upon
him; and the contractors selected to do, and
who engaged to do the prescribed work, were
taking the necessary steps, and incurring
largo expense in getting ready to perform the
agreements into which they had entered with
the City Government.
But certain individuals, who were disap
pointed In their wish to secure the contracts
for themselves, employed counsel to contest
the legality of the whole proceedings, and to
pray an injunction restraining the execution
f the several contracts entered into by the
Mayor for the cleaning of the streets. The
case was argued in the Common Pleas Court
on Saturday, and Judge Allison, delivering
the opinion of the bench, declared the con
tracts Illegal, and granted the injunction to
arrest their fulfilment.
Here, then, was a pretty stale of affairs, to
be sure. It would not be worth while to dis
cubs the grounds of the decision. It is no
doubt entirely sound and valid. But the con
sequences to this community of the serious
delay it promised to occasion in putting the
chy in a clean and wholesome condition before
the hot weather comes, and with it, possibly,
one of the most fatal pestilences that has ever
scourged the earth, was indeed a terrible
circumstance, well fitted to excite the most
painful apprehension. Hence it was even to
be regretted that the irregularity of the action
of the Council! and the Mayor in the pre
mises were excepted to at all,' or at least
at this particular time. If it be true that
' necessity has no law, this certainly is a case
to which the proverb should apply. It might
be much better to suffer an infringement of
the strict letter of the municipal Constitution
lor a limited period, in the present exigency,
than to draw down upon three-quarters of a
million of people an epidemic that may cause
a frightful mortality, and produce otherwise
Incalculable suffering and sorrow.
The Court, however, is not to be blamed,
since It could do no less than pronounce its
judgment of the law when that judgment was
regularly invoked. Nor is the counsel who
instituted the suit in anywise reprehensible,
as he did only what he was professionally
bound to do for thota clients wao employed
him In that capacity. Lut those members o
our municipal legislature who passed an ordi
nance in positive violation of the plain pro
visions of the organic law of the City Gov
eminent, and under which, if questioned
the important work of cleaning the street
before the summer sets in could not possibly
be executedare certainly reprehensible for
not better understanding their own lega
powers and those of the Mayor. It was their
ignorance in that respect which led to the
judicial injunction that stopped an urgent
sanitary measure on the threshold, and at a
moment, too, when every minute's delay is
likely to prove frightfully fatal to the health
and the business Interests of Philadelphia.
No case could have arisen better suited to
show the importance ot careful legislation,
and of choosing competent legislators.
This, however, is not the time to deplore
past mistakes. There is a great danger at
our very gates, and it will require the utmost
energy and promptness of action to secure
ourselves against it. The paramount and
pressing question now is, What can be and
what shall be done In the alarming dilemma
in which the community is placed? The
contracts entered into by the Mayor for
cleaning the streets are, virtually and in
effect, declared null and void. Further liti
gation about them would be worse than uso
, less in so far as the health and lives of our
large population are concerned. They should
not be allowed to depend on the final issue of
' legal proceedings, which are proverbially both
uncertain and protracted.
But In order 1hat no dilatory measures of
the kind should further postpone the cleans
ing of the highways, Councils, with com
mendable alacrity, held a special meeting on
Monday, and adopted a resolution requesting
t the State Legislature to empower them to
make contracts for cleansing the streets of
this city, and to legalize the contracts already
made. A. bill to effectuate the purpose ot the
resolution of Councils was reported in the
State House of Representatives yesterday,
and passed at once. If the Senate concurs,
and the Governor then signs the bill, this
community will be rescued lroni a situation of
- v fcitremo'perlL , .
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAT1T. PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY,
We are on the very verge of the heated
term, with the cholera approaching westward
from Europe. To begin in June stirring up
and removing the masses of filth that now
encumber our streets, and alleys, and courts,
would be much more deleterious than not to
touch them at all at that tlm. The hoe of
the scavenger would only cause in a hundred
fold degree the release ot deadly miasma from
heaps of rotten offal, festering In a hot sun,
and result in a greatly increased amount of
sickness and mortality. The highways of the
city, if they are to be cleaned at all before the
summer begins, should be cleaned thoroughly
within the next two months; and our authori
ties can see how urgent, therefore, is the ne
cessity of doing at once whatever may
yet bo done to meet the present alarming ex
tremity. The Sunday Question.
Tite friends of the Christian Sabbath have
been even more successful in their late efforts
to prevent a lesalizcd desecration of the day,
than it was at one time supposed they would
be. The Legislature, by a very decided vote,
refused to pass the bill authorizing our city
passenger railway cars to be run on Sunday,
notwithstanding the earnest exertious that
were used to carry the bill. But the triumph
of the good cause was made still more com
plete last Friday, by an almost unanimous
vote in the State Senate against the proposi
tion to submit the whole question of Sunday
travel in Philadelphia to the suffrage of the
people of this community at the next October
election.
This result, taken altogether and in view of
the powerful efforts and influences employed
in a contrary direction, must be not only in
expressibly gratifying to all discreet and vir
tuous citizens here, but is also eminently
creditable to the Legislature. There can be
no teasonable doubt that if the law of th's
Commonwealth had been altered in the par
ticular named, the ultima to effect would have
proved greatly injurious in more ways than
one. Besides the probability that the suburbs
of the city would have been crowded every
Sunday with idle people, bent on pleasure,
and likely, in its pursuit, to become noisy,
heedless, and riotous, to the serious disturb
ance of the publio peace and the public
moials, this community would have incurred
the additional danger of further and almost
unlimited innovations on the present Sabbath
law of the State, until, at last, there would be
very little of the Banctlty or divine authority
oftbe day left.
It is complained, however, by those who
favored the Sunday car project, that the peo
ple of this city, who alone were asking for
the privilege, and who alone were to be
affected by It, should have been allowed to
settle and determine the matter for them
selves by a popular election . But it is not
true, as alleged, that Philadelphia only is con
cerned in the legislation that is desired by
those who have, advocated Sunday trave on
our streets. The people of the entire Com
monwealth are interested, in no small degree,
in having the sacredncss of the Lord's day
preserved here, as well as in all other parts of
the State ; and this is no doubt the view which
the members of the Legislature Irom the
rural sections took of the subject. It would
be a dangerous precedent to allow one city or
county to abolish the Sabbath altogether, or
greatly modify its character as an institution
of God, on the silly pretense that such action
would not reach, in its influence or conse
quences, beyond certain local Jimits. The
same privilege that is grunted to one munici
pality or district in the State to-day, upon
the plea above recited, might be asked from
the Legislature to-morrow by a dozen
or more other towns and counties ; and the
obvious result would be, the gradual accom
plishment by local election of that which the
entire people of the Commonwealth would pro
bably not sanction If made dependent on their
joint suiiraiies at a general election. In other
words, we might seethe Sabbath, the Bible,
and all religious ordinances and observances,
successively voted away by town alter town,
and district after district, until Pennsylvania
would, In the end, be made a land ot infidelity
and heathenism, unregulated in her civil
polity by the obligations of Christian moral
ity, and reduced to all the learful disorders,
licentiousness, and crimes which distinguished
France during that revolution in which her
affairs were entirely controlled by regicides
and atheists. In this connection we may re
call, opportunely and with profit, the lollow
ing advice of President Washington in his
'Farewell Address." He says: "Of all the
dispositions and habits which lead to political
prosperity, religion and morality are indis
pensable supports. In vain would that man
claim the tribute of patriotism who should
labor to subvert these great pillars of
human happiness these firmest props of the
duties of men and citizens. The mere poli
tician, equally with the pious man, ought to
respect and cherish tham. A volume could
not trace all their connection with private
and public felicity. Let it bo simply asked,
where is the security lor property, far reputa
tion, for life, if the sense of religious obliga
tion desert the oaths which are the instru
ments of investigation in the courts of justice ?
And let us with caution Indulge the supposi
tion that morality can be maintained without
religion. Whatever may be conceded to the
influence of refined education on mUub of
peculiar structure, reason and experience both
forbid us to expect that national morality
can prevail In exclusion of religious princi
ples."
Surely, words so full of wisdom, uttered by
so pure a statesman and patriot, are an ample
just'flcatlon of the legislative vote which has
just saved the Christian Sabbath, In Pennsyl
vania. -
Another night of the Mountain Par-
t ridge."
Bt our special despatched from Trenton it
will be seen that James M. Scovbl continues
obstinately persistent in his course of per
jury and treachery. lie baa made a speech,
in which he compares himself to the "rock of
Gibraltar" and the "frigate Cumberland.
From the general tone of Mr. Scovkl'b pub
lic documents, we infer that he believes in. the
transm'giatlon of souls. He has appeared
in the semblance of a "mountain partridge," a
rock," and now a "man-of-war." His true
form would be more like the Cockatrlce.whlch,
nurtured and ra'sed in the nest of its foster
parent, turns upon her, and destroys the lifo
to which he owes bis power. Words are in
adequate to properly depict the infamy of
his course. Raised from obscurity, not by
bis own ability, but by the generous confi
dence of a party which he deserted, his whole
public liie has culminated in a double base
ness, in surrendering his political principles
to the gratification of malice and ambition.
From this day no houest man can mention
the name ol Scovel but with indignant
contempt.
In his speech this morning he road a letter
from a Mr. R. B. Lekds, in which that gen
tleman asserted that he (Scovel) did not
show him (Leeds) a letter from Andrew
Johnson, as The Evening Telkgiuph
asserted. We can easily imagine that Mr.
Scovel had no difficulty in finding a thou
sand people to whom he did not read the letter;
but we have in our possession the names of
the parties who have openly announced that
he did exhibit just such a letter as we stated
on Saturday.
The prospects of the ultimato election of
Mr. Cattell are still good. The friends of
that gentkman stand firm, and are unwilling
to submit to the dictation of one man, and ho
deficient in both principle and brains. If
they will still continue to be steadfast, some
change of affairj may take place which will
render the defection powerless, and himself
an object of defeat as well as infamy. Should
it not, however, better have no Senator than
a man who is the creature of opportunity,
falsity, and impudence.
The Result in Connecticut. Judging
Irom the indications, we think we are safe la
asserting that tho State of Connecticut has
been carried by the Unionists by nearly a
thousand majority. The jubilance of the
Union party over the result is unprecedented.
Tho battle which has been fought was sharp.
The enemy were aided by patronage and
the treachery of false friends ; but the stern de
termination of the Republicans to succeed at
every hazard, and their unswerving adherence
to principle, have at length triumphed. The
joy over the victory is in proportion to the
difficulties to be overcome. Truly our
brothers of Connecticut have fought a good
light and won a well-contested battle.
A few days since. Mr. Elijah Pierce, an old
and well-known citizen of Campbell countv,
Ohio, .hired a German in Cincinnati, who did
not understand Enclmb. very well, to work on
his larm, a lew miles back of that city. The
sturdy Teuton arrived at the place m duo time,
und among Ihe first questions put to him wus,
'Can you curry horses !" "Oh, yea; me curries
horses goot," replied the German. He was then
told to po the stable aud curry some six or
seven horses which be would rind there. At the
expira'ion of about an hour, Mr. Pierce went to
the stable to see how his new workman was
geitinir alousr, when, to his utter astonishment,
he louta that Hans had bhaved the tails aud
manes of the animals as close as he could with
the shears he used. Amonir tho horses thus
"curried" was a tine one belouizius to a gentle
man oi Clncinnn'i. It may bo a singular tai l,
hut the services of the German were immediately
dispensed with.
