The Taymcnt of City Warrant!.
Ykstkbdat afternoon, in Common Couuoil, Mr.
Detzell made an effort to secure the repeal of
the obnoxious oidinauoe approved January 17,
18G8, whose title facetiously declares that it ia
"to enforce the prompt payment of otty war
rants." We have already commented at
length on the oppressive operation of thU
ordinance, enpeolally in conneotion with the
teaohers of onr public pchools, all of whom
are now foroed to go into the market and
hawk about their promises of payment from
theolty, as, in the present state of our fiaanoea,
it la impossible to secure the cashing of a war
rant for the moat insignificant sum within a
period of five or six months from Its date.
In urging the indefinite postponement of the
bill to repeal the ordinance in question, Mr.
Harper, who originated it and seonred its
passage, claimed that the ordinance' would
work properly if carried out, arguing tint the
City Treasurer is alone responsible for the
present state of affairs. The best refutation of
Mr. Harper's position, and of the practical
working of the ordinance, la its reproduction
in full, as follows:
'Hereafter, npon tbe presentation of ell
warrant! at tbe olllce or tue CJtty Tremuror,
It shall be the duty of the City Treusurer to p ty
the name ou UeinauU end lu llie order or uielr

Interest on all tuch u,ipr"'euUvi w-irranis glia l
cease when notice l post o l mm. tbo aiuie wui
be paid on presentation, as herein atrive pro
vided." A subsequent ordinance, approved Oo'ober
9, 1868, provides fur the publioalUa of the
notice in the daily papers, as well as it) post'
Ing on the door of the Treasurer's olfiw; and
another supplementary ordinance brings the
outstanding warranta of a date previous to
18G8 under Ha operation.
Aa far aa we can learn, the City Treasurer
has complied with the letter and spirit of these
ordinancea in every detail, and we are unable
to perceive how their oppressive operation is
to be charged, to anything except their pro
visions. . At the last monthly settlement
of the Treasurer's books, about $500,000 were
found to be available for the payment of war
rants, and notice was accordingly made that
those numbered from 1 to 4000, whub.
approached that sum in amount, would
be ' paid on presentation. At the
lose of the present month a new
adjustment of the books of the oifije will be
made, and a new notioe published, which miy
possibly run the figure up another thousand,
But, aa the law now stands, the hands of
the Treasurer are tied, and he cannot
divert any of the money require! for
the payment of stamped warranta below 4000
to the payment of any one presented subse
quently. The only relief that is afforded to
persons holding the city's obligations exists
When the warrants are less than $100 in
amount, in which case their holders can sue
out a writ of mandamus before an alderman,
and reoover the amount in five. days. This
relief is frequently sought, and large sums
are paid out of the City Treasury
every week, in defianoe of Mr. lUrpur's ordl
nanoe. We hope that Counoils will give the
matter prompt and deoisive attention next
week, either repealing the ordinances re
ferred to in loto, or so modifying them as to
afford relief to ,the school teachers and others
Who are dependent - npon their salaries from
the city for support.
(lambling Stock-Jobbing Operations.
The general publio cares but little for the cou
' tests of the bulls and bears of the stock boards
when they are conducted in the usual man
ner. The victims of adroit combinations re
ceive but little 'sympathy for their defeat in
the ordinary diamond-cut diamond enoouuters.
When, however, audacious gamblers in stocks
assail vital national interests, and embarrass
the entire business community, for the pur
pose of promoting their nefarious schemes,
they commit an aot deserving condign punish
ment, and plaoe themselves in a category of
publio oriminals but little better than the
poieoners of wells. New York journals state
that a prominent stock operator of that city
. acknowledges that he contributed one million
of dollars to the clique formed for the pur
pose of "locking up greenbacks," and tbe faot
is established by abuudanttestlmony that this
clique borrowed and controlled, at the seasou
when money is most in demind for the
movement oi crops, many millions 0
dollars, which they withdrew from olroulatiou
for the purpose of producing an arlifloial finau
oial stringency. The Immediate object they
had in view was a redaction iu tbe price of
Stocks; but they regarded with reokless and
criminal indiflkrenoe tbe effeot of their maohl
nations upon the national revenue, the
national securities, and the multifarious pecu
niary transactions of the country. If Snore
tary MoCullooh had not wisely and promptly
come to the resoue by his threat to purchase
national bonds and to reissue Government
certificates, this heartless combination would
have inevitably caused the ruin of thousands
of honest and enterprising men who are in no
way connected with ordinary stook-Jobblng
transactions. If there is any mode by whioh
the temporary sucoeas of similar sohemea can
be prevented hereafter, or if any new oheoks
can be devised to prevent national banks
from rendering them wilful assistance, Con
gress should not hesitate to apply a remedy
for stioh a manifest evil. The effeots of oontrao
tions and expansions of the currency upon all
monetary transactions have been so frequently
illustrated, that it is fearful to contemplate a
contingency iu whioh the power of materially
reduoing tbe circulating medium can be lodged
in tbe hands of a small body of desperate and
corrupt speculators.
Another marked feature of the New York
stock specuUtions consists ia the evidence
afforded that great corporations are system
atically managed in a manner designed to
injure their credit and to diminish their reve.
sues, bo that bear stock operators may grow
rich on the ruin of stockholders. If oue-half
of tbe allegations made under oath against
tbe present and former managers of the Erie
Railway are true, they are indifferent to the
interests of the important public work com
mitted .to their charge, and mindful only
of the opportunities to enrl li themselves
by squandering its revenues and bj specula
tions based on the depredation ef its stock.
This is a species of rascality only one degree
lees infamous than the scheme to create an
artificial financial stringency, the main diffor
ei.ee being that, while.the latter results in the
robbery of an entire community, the former
robs only the members of a particular corpo
ration. A large portion of the wealth of the
country, however, is invested in publio works
of various kinds; and it would be a national
calamity if any considerable number of Ameri
can railways should fall under the control of
dishonest managers.
TLe true object of stock boards is to facili
tate the purchase and sale of stocks, bonds,
and other securities. It is not poaeible, and
perhaps not even desirable, that the wild rage
for speculation which they sometimes enoou.
rage Bhould be checked. But modes should
certainly be devised for preventing stock-jobbers
from making open war upon the finanoia'
interests of the nation, and from ruining the
innocent stockholders of useful publio works.
The Sizo and Wealth .of Oar City.
Tub annual report of the Board of Tax Revi
sion was made yesterday to Counoils, and
published also in the The Evening Tkleohapu,
and contains many points of interest. It ia of
value aa a record of the growth of Philadel
phia, and as it is the official standard which
governs all apportionments, we will look at
some of the information it contains. The
asseeetd value of the city is given aooording
to tbe different wards, and of them, so far as
real estate is concerned, the Sixth ward is the
richest. Iler real property is valued at $43,-
516,401. The poorest is the Twenty-first,
which owns but $5,008,576. This difference
is due not only to the stzeof the wards, but
also to the greater increased value of property
caused by improvement. The next item
assessed is the amount of money out at in
terest. In this the Fifth ward exceeds all
others, she having $5,306,405 at interest,
while the poorest ward is the Nineteenth,
which has but $40,823. In horse flesh
the Twenty-Becond ward, Germantown and
Chesnut Hill, greatly exceeds the others
in the cost of her equipages. She
has $179,650. Next 40 her comes the
Fifteenth ward, while the Eighth, whioh
ia reputed to be the wealthiest in Philadelphia,
only has $60,400. The excess of the Twenty-
second can be explained by ita being a region
of magnificent distances, in which a carriage
is essential to visiting. But why the Fifteenth
keeps such a large excess we are at a loss to
guess. In the Third ward there are but
$5000 worth of horses. In ita furniture the
Eighth ward exceeds but $390,000 any other
Iler household goods 'are valued at $981,004
Next comes the Fifteenth, and the poorest is
that stronghold of Democracy, the Seventeenth,
which has ita furniture valued at $10,4S2. In
carriages the same relative importance of the
wards exists as in the case of horses, the
Twenty-second leading off with $99,215. In
the Eleventh ward they return only $590
which is just one carriage to about nineteen
thousand population.
Having thus glanoed at the wealth of the
variouB portions of Philadelphia, let us see
which of the political subdivisions has the
moBt voters. The Twentieth ward takes the
palm here. She has 10,103 taxables, and at
the rate of seven inhabitants'to one taxable
which is about the average has a population
of 70,000 souls. The smallest is the Twenty,
eighth, with 1765. The Fourth ward has a
total of 4101, which is hardly consistent with
her late majority. The total is 137,490,
which would make a population of about
900,000.souls in Philadelphia.
A curious little fact iu regard to the num
ber of watches owned in Philadelphia i3 worthy'
of notice. In all our city there are but 12,533
gold and 936 silver watches, if the returns are
to be believed. Iu the Seventeenth ward,
with a population of over 35,000, there are
but 81 watches. The Fifteenth has the most,
1605; the Eighth cornea next, with 1190.
Snch returns as these are a parody ou Justice,
and moke the assessment, so far as watches
are oonoerned, become a mere farce. The re
port of the Board, however, shows an increase
of both population and wealth which augurs
well for the future greatness of our city.
The Woman ((uestion.
Thsbb la one element of the woman ques
tion which is almost invariably overlooked by
those who are perpetually making a noise
about the grtevauoes of the lair sex. As we
remarked yesterday, nearly every woman
who ia thrown upon her own resources for inp
port, by reason of her not being incumbered
with a husband, or by being deprived of the
staff and comfort of her life by the hand of
death, la totally unfitted for anything in the
wide world exoept the needle.' In oonse
quenoe of this lamentable state of affairs, the
needle market Is overstocked, and insufficient
wages are the Inevitable result. If there
were no more seamstresses than were neces
sary to make all the shirts that the masculine
world can wear, the prloe of shirts would
have an upward tendency, and so would
women's wages The remedy for this diffi
culty is the opening of new spheres of labor
for the rex. Two things are neoessary
to accomplish this. 'Hi great, over
grown boys who lounge behind the
counter must fiist be driven into the fields
and the workshop, and then the women who
are to take their plaoes must be qualified for
doing so. And not alone behind the oouuter,
but in scores of places besides, is woman en
titled to a firmer foothold than sle now enjoys.
Yet in scarcely any kind of, light labor
for which our bisters and danghters are fitted
by nature is the prevailing standard of educa
tion am org thetn suffljiently high. A woman
who knows nothing of geography is not fitted
to be a telegiaph operator; a woman who
writes a slow scrawl is not fitted to be a book
keeper; a woman who o.uuot detect a 4ioun
terftit note, iu fpite of accumulated grease
and diit, is not fitted to dispose of calicoes
ai,d ribbons'; a woman who, like the yonng
man by whom, a fatal mistake was uiade
in this city a few days ago, does not
know the difference between assafunida
and atropia, is not fi.ted to dispense
life-giving and death-dealing drugs; a
woman who, like old mother Wallaon
of coffee-pot fame, tortures two and two into
reveu, and three times six into a huudred and
nineteen and a half, is not fitted for anything
more ennobling or more profitable than the
rocking of a cradle or the toouring of a door
knob. Let the old grannies and the young
ladit-a who are determined upon setting right
all the wrongs which afflict the human race,
keep these simple facts iu mind while they
are in conclave at the Hub, and they
will prove themselves to be not such consum
mate fools as some people think they are,
with a fair show of justice. Better still than
that, they will be able to accomplish some
thing towatds securing for the laboring
women of the country a just recompenHe for
their toil, towards turning from the paths of
vice tens of 'thousands of creatures as frail as
they are fair, who must go to the dogs be
cause they have no other alternative save
starvation.
The National Christian Convention
Tiik National Cbtutiau Convention, composed
of the ministers and larmen of all the Pro
testant denominations, concluded a session of
three days at the Reformed Dutch Church,
New York, yesterday. The object of this
Convtntion was to discuss qnestions relating
to tbe welfare of tbe Church of Christ, to
devise if possible some means tor exciting a
greater interest in religion, and to promote a
unity of feeling and action among Christians
of all denominations. Of course, the decisions
of this body will have no binding foroe on
any of the denominations represented, and
indeed the idea was rather to promote a
Christian unity among the members of the
different evangelical denominations, and to
arouse them to a conoerted action on those
matters that they are all agreed upon, rather
than to argue about the technloal differences
that separate the sects.
Some of the questions debated were of the
highest importance, and it ia to be hoped that
the result of this conference will be that
churches of all denominations will be induced to
consider them with a view of correcting evils
in church management that undoubtedly
exist.
The system of renting pews was warmly
debated, and by a number of the speakers de
nounced aa tending to, drive the poor away
from tbe churches. This ia one of the knotty
questions for whioh it is difficult to find a
satisfactory solution. Free ehurohea, where
they have been established, have only been
partially successful, and tbe renting of pews
seems to be almost the only means by whioh
the necessary revenue for supporting minister9
and paying neoessary expeuses can be oer
tainly secured. At the same time this ar.
rangement undoubtedly has the effect of
closing the door of many of our ehurohea not
only in the faoea of the poor but to all stran
gers, and it ia worthy of the consideration of
ministers, as well as laymen, whether some
means cannot be devised whereby our churohes
can be thrown open and all comers be made to
feel that they are heartily welcome.
The Convention did not arrive at any con
clusion on this subject, but an interchange of
experiences and opinions was had, and the
result may be that sufficient interest will be
excited among the different denominations to
bring about a much needed reform.
We think that conferences of this kind are
calculated to do good. Whether a union of
all the ProteBtant denominations is possible,
or whether such a union would be advan
tageous, are matters of serious doubt, but
there are many things of the utmost import
ance for the promotion of the cause of Chris
tianity in which the different seats might
co-operate with advantage.
Chromolithographs.
Within a very few years past chrotno litho
graphs nave become extensively popular, and,
good, bad, and Indifferent, they have figured lo
tbe print shop windows and have found their
way Into thousands of homes. There are few
persons w bo have uo taste whatever for art, or
who do not care to have piotures of some sort
hut g upon the walls of tbeir homes, even U
Ibey only consider them In tbe light of furni
ture and as available to till up vacant spaces,
and as adding to the general attractions of
apartment, without any particular regard to
kbelr subjects or their general merits aa works
of art. Obrr-mn have, we think, been angered
at and unjustly disparaged by aorflo profot-
aiobat or I Men, apparently for no other reaam
than tbnt ibey are cheap aDd popular; and, oi
the other band, Ibey have been too extra
Rantly praised by persons who have not auffl-
dent U culture to give Intelligent opinion
with regard to their real merits end deficien
cies. Borne of the manufacturers of chrorao,
too, have laid tkemtelvea open to Just cenaure
by Ul-advlaed attempt! to Imitate the hand
ling and texture of oil paintings, and thus o
troy Ing their genuine characteristic. We
think that ohroino lithographs are entitled
to be Judged on their own merlin, the
aame aa other wo'ka of art, and we
believe that they are better calculated to
awaken an enthunlam and cultivate a taste for
art than any eljle of ploiure that bai ye1
been produced, and on thla account, if no other'
they are entitled to the consideration of art
critics. There are comparatively few persona
ho can afford to puichase original plutlngn,
or who have sufficient jurlgmeut and taste to

tbe means would alw&ya purchaae original
