TUURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 1869.
The Metropolitan I'ollce nrtwlnew.
Ybbtbrday afternoon the Philadelphia mem
bers of the State Legislature professing alle
giance to the Republican part held a canons
at Harriabnrg, and agreed upon a draft of a
Metropolitan Police bill for this city, the prin
cipal features of which are the appointment oi j
Ihe ComniisBlonera or rouce vj v i
cUa, and the including of the Mayor e.c-ojlcio ,
among them. Thia action of the Philadelphia
delegation, we presume, was in aooordauoe ;
with the doctrine recently laid dosvn by Mr.
Btrang, that the delegations from particular '
looalities should be permitted to control the i
legislation affecting such localities a doc
trine which has no foundation in reason.
Respectful consideration should, of course,
be given to the views of the members
from a flection requiring speoial legislation,
bat the same respectful consideration is lika
wise due the members from all other
looalities. So long as we are to be burdened
with a State Legislature and with State legis
lation, no member should yield one jot of his '
Toioe and rote when a question of right or ex- ;
pediency is involved, merely beoause the
members from a certain locality pronounce in 1
favor of a certain scheme. We make these i
remarks because we do not desire to see the ,
bill agreed upon yesterday afternoon by the ,
Philadelphia delegation enacted into a law, j
and because we desire to see a bold and inde
pendent Btand for justice and expediency
taken by every member of the State Legis
lature not only upon the affairs of the State
at large, but upon those of our own city
Whioh demand legislative interposition.
Objeotionable as have been all the proposed
bills heretofore introduced in some respects,
the bill agreed upon by the city delegation is
oertainly equal to any of them in obnoxious
provisions. It contains one redeeming feature
the inoluding of the Mayor of the oity
among the Folioe Commissioners by virtue of
his offioe. This is simple justice, and the
aotion of the caucus in recognizing the fact at
last Is deserving of commendation. Bat the
election of the remainiog members of the
Board should be lodged with aloioH
any authority other than that
of the City Councils. If the Legislature de
sire to oontinue the partisan character of the
polioe force, they ooluJ not adopt any plan
that would more certainly secure their object.
The elective system is less objectionable in
thia respect, for, even under the provisions of
the bill by which the city was to be gerryman
dered into five districts, at least one Democrat,
and in all probability two, would effect au en
trance into the Board. That Councils, as at
present constituted, and in their present tern
per, would appoint a solitary Democrat as a
Commissioner, no reasonable person will for a
moment imagine.
We still think, as we have maintained from
the outlet, that the Mayor of the oity and the
Presidents of the two branches of Councils
Should be ejc-ojjhio members of the Police
Board, the remaining members, three in num.
ber at least, to be appointed either by the
Governor of the State or the judges of the
courts. There is a serious objection to the
latter alternative, the great danger of involv
ing the judges in partisan politics. This may
possibly outweigh all the considerations which
can be advanced in its favor. But no suoh
objeotioa applies to the proposition to lodge
the appointing power in the hands of the Gov
ernor, subject to the confirmation of the State
Senate. The Governor is not a creature of local
politics, he is removed far above their influ
ence, he cannot be dragged down to their level
and made subservient to their unworthy
leaders. Such, at least, is the ideal Governor
of a great Commonwealth like Pennsylvania,
and, happily for the people of the State, the
real and the ideal Governor frequently come
together in the same person. From every
point of view it wonld, therefore, appear ex
pedient to lodge the power which is of suoh
vital consequence to the people of this city in
his hands. These considerations should have
their full weight with the members of the
State Legislature in deciding the Metropolitan
Police question.
Tlie Example of "Citizen Munoz."
Thb New York World and the Age of this
oity are both going into eostaoies over the
case of 'oitizen Manuel Munoz," who was re
cently eleoted President of the Municipal
Council of Vera Crna, beoause that noble
Mexioan refused to assume the duties of the
position for the reason' that he had not been,
as he alleges, "legally eleoted, several votes
Which had been given to his oompetitor hav
ing been Illegally rejeoted by the inspectors."
Both the World and the Age appear to be
laboring under the pleasing delusion that
"citizen Manuel Munoz" is a model
Democrat, not in the general, but
in the special and technical sense of the
word as used in New York and Philadelphia
politics. Here," exclaims the Age, referring
to Philadelphia,' we suppose "here it is what
a Dernoorat would always do 1" this ohoioe
entenoe being intended as a rebuke to the
IrVld tor recommending the example of
"oltlzen Mauuei Munoz" to the Democraoy of
the oountry as an example 0f Democratio
honesty worthy 0f all commendation
and of unfailing imitation. But the full
foroe of the flattering nnotlon whioh the Age
lays to the Democratio soul of Phila
delphia U lost without the oontext.
The whole sentence runs thus: "Here, it is
what a Democrat would always do; while a
radical persists to the last In impudent, bare
faced attempts to take advantage of frauds I"
It is barely possible that the meaning of this
is a little involved, and that the Age intends
to convey the impression that It regards radi
calism as another name for fraud. But taking
the whole sentence together, we Interpret its
meaning to this effect: That a Philadelphia De
mocrat would consent nnder no oiroumstanoes
to profit by a fraudulent vote; while a Philadel
phia radical, mindful of his rights and of the
will of the people, will never fail te take '.ad
vantage of Democratic fraud by seconding the
laudable efforts of his Democratio friend to
bring to grief the persons guilty of the fraud.
The expletives "impudent" and barefaoed,"
in which the Age indulges, may east some
doubt upon the correctness of our interpreta
tion; but then ihe A g a is nothing if not ad
dicted to the nao of harsh words.

Minion.
Tub recent elections in Kngland have caused
duuIi iliFappointment among those who ex
pected immediate and widespread results
from the extension of the franohise. They
Lave not suiliciently borne in mind the force
of custom and long-established usage which,
is nowhere so powerful as with the masses
of the Euglibh nation; and they are disap
pointed that mn who have been hindered for
centuries from thinking or aoting for them
selves should not, in the first moment of en
franchisement, seek and secure the wisest and
most immediate method of creating themselves
into one of the powers of the realm.
It has been natural to institute a compari
son between the representative systems of
Great Britain aud the United States, with
their superficial rerf-iuiblaoee aud great radi
cal diflerence.
Goldwin Smith most emphatically asserts
that the English uleciijns are controlled by
wealth; that everything else is powerless
against it; and that ''it is the pound, ani not
the dollar, that is really 'almighty.' "
Jn that est lor selr'-couduinnation which
seems to be nnisally enjoyed, Americans
are accustomed to confess this nation to be
the devotee of uiout-y, and to reserve 'their
choicest dtcunciaiioni for the venality and
corruption of politic; but this venality,
alike deoiied by England and the United
States, is exhibited very diil'orently.
In general term, it might be said that in
America the voters are not bought, but that
the only people purchased are their repre
sentatives; while in England the vote is a
matter of open bargain, and the member after
buying his constituents acts aa if he owned
them as his personal property. There is great
wrong iu each case, but the advantage lies
with us, in so far that each individual voter is
taught to feel himself responsible for his
action at the polls. He i3 well aware of his
iniluenoe, and if his representative proves
false to the trust reposed in him, the voter id
condemned in his own heart for the folly or
feebleness which permitted the orime. Before
the ultimate tribunal of his own conscience
every voter in America must make answer
whether he has exerted himself to the utmost
in the right direction, before he can wa3h his
own hands free of the offense of participating
in or permitting the election of a weak or
venal legislator
Bnt perhaps the most striking difference be
tween the representation in the two countries
is found in the faot that the Congressman is
the representative of a party, while the mem
ber of Parliament is primarily the representa
tive of an "interest." Maine or Louisiana
might elect a Republican or Democrat, but his
partisanship would be of paramount import
ance, and it would be only a secondary con
sideration, and entirely dependent upon his
personal character, whether he would effect
ively devote himself to the interests of ship
yards or sugar vats; while, on the other hand,
in the British Parliament th landed interest
presents a solid platoon of representatives,
who, expecting no personal emolument from
their individnal aotion, intend to reap their
advantages from defending the interests and
promoting the welfare of their class. Manu
factures and commerce are also largely repre
sented by members to whom their craft is of
the first concern, and all other measures of
secondary importance.
England has gained as a nation great ad
vantages from this power of combination
among ber business interests, which has per.
mitted the whole weight of the Government
to be thrown, as emergencies required, in
favor of the shipping, manufacturing, or
agricnltural interest. The nation has been
bnilt up at the expense of the individual, and
she may boast of the success of her manufac
tures, but she must confess that her laborers
are paupers; while we, on the other hand, can
point proudly to our workingman, although
his trade often en liars ruinous fluctuations
from the want of stability given by wise
legislation.
The Vacant Kpnulsli Throne.
A cable tele(ibam from Paris announces that
"it is rumored that Seville and Cadiz have
proclaimed in favor of the Duke Montpensler
for King of Spain." Of all the proposed solu
tions of the Spanish question this weuld pro
bably prove least acceptable to Napoleon, but
there is no good reason, aside from his opposi
tion, why it should not receive the favorable
consideration of the people most immediately
and deeply interested. The Duke Montpensler
is the third son of Louis Philippe, and the
husband of Maria Louisa l'erdinanda de Bour
bon, who 1b the sister of the exiled ex-Queen
Isabella. This marriage was arranged and
consummated in 184(3 by the wily Louis
Philippe, who was then King of France,
with the expectation that the descen
dants of the Duke Moutpensier aud Maria
Louisa would eventually beoome the
monarohs of Spain; and the alliance was bit
terly opposed by Great Brita'n on aocount of
the apparent danger that it would make the
Oileans family too powerful. At this time
English statesmen would regard with a much
more favorable eye the elevation of an Orlean
ibt to the vaoant throne at Madrid. It would
place a new check upon the Emperor of
France, for of all his foe3 he has most to fear
from the descendants of Louis Philippe; and
the triumph of one branch of that family
south of the Pyrenees would do much to re
awaken hopes of an Urleanist revival in
Paris, and to turn the attention of the volatile
French people to a race that they still aff jo
tionately remember.
The Duke Montpensler was born iu 1321,
and is now in the prime of li.'e. At an early
age he served in the French army, distinguish
ing himself in Algeria, and ribiDg to the rank
of generalin 184(i. After his marriage he
attaieed a superior rank in the Spanish army,
and there are strong indications that many of
its officers favor his elevation to the vacant
throne. In the regular order of succession, in
deed, his wife is the legitimate heir.if the expul
sion of Isabella is to be treated as a legal att,aud
if the principles of legitimacy are to be recog
nized in the formation of thenewgovernment.
This theory can only be int-s Honed by deny
ing that Isabella ever had a divine right to
rule, and by affirming that she was a usurper
from the outset; but one of the factions in
Spain has always held these opinions, and
it is reasserting them now.
The Orleanist aspirant and his family were
at last advices residing in Portugal, intently
watching every movement iu Spain, and ia
close communication with their numerous
partisans. The Duke offered his military ser
vices to the provisional government a few
months ago, to assist in suppressing a revol)
against the revolution, but they were respect
fully declined. A9 the correspondence was
published, however, his main point was
gained, for his bid for the sweat voices of the
multitude was spread before every elector.
The Union Pacific Ham.roao One thou

A remarkable fict 1 1 connection with tblj
great enterprise i the snort time
in wblcU tue road bus been built
Three years ago not more tban
forty miles we:e completed, two bundled au1
sixty-five miles were aJded iu IStili, two tiuu
died and seventy-ri se in ISO", and ab.mt Ave
hundred miles iu 18US. Such rapidity as this
Is unparalleled la tbe history of railroad en
gineering. It should be borne iu mind, too
that there was no railroad commualcatlon at
tbe starting point when the work was com
menced. The entire road has been built beyond all
settlements and improvement; it baa lavaded
tbe deserts, and, carrying its own population,
has created an immense buslnoss in a country
that in reality bad no population before the
locomotive penetrated the solltudo. A great
portion of tbe material had to bo carried more
tban one thousand miles before being used in
tbe construction of the road. To accomplish
these results, tbe employment of an army of
laborers bas been necessary.
A faot of great interest to all who are con
cerned in the development and growth of the
great West is that tbe Union Paciflo Railroad,
although uncompleted, and dependont on the
business which it bas Itself created, earned la
tbe year 1S68 more than five millions of dollars,
as follows:
From Passengers 81.024,005 -97
From Freight 2,0j0.2m!)
From Kxpress ol,4os
From Mails 136,2'lo 69
From Miscellaneous 9l.62tt-27
From Government Troops 101,077 77
From Government Freight 419,110 1
From Contractors' Men 201,179 Oil
For Contractors' Material 968.4,10 33
Tola) 85,006,B5l-l
If the road In its uncompleted oondltion can
derive suoh an amount from merely looal
traffic, there can be no doubt but that its carry
ing facilities will be taxed to the utmost when
tbe entire line la completed. The work of con
structlng the Union Paciflo Railroad bas not
been stopped during tbe winter, but so large a
force is now engaged on the work that the two
hundred ana fifty miles necessary to oomplete
tbe connection with the Central Paciflo Road
will soon be passed over, and the whole line to
tbe Pacific will be in operation early next
summer.

"Tbe returns for tbe current year will show a

By Its charter, the Company Is permitted to Issue
Its own FIRtiT M.ORTUAQK BONDS te tUs lame

PAYABLE IN GOLD.
Bitch securities are generally valuable In proportion
to tbe leuK'h of time they have to run. The longest
six percent, gold Interest bonds ot tbe United States
(tbe 'Sis) will be dne In 11 years, and they are worth
112. If they had 80 yea's to run, they would stand
at not less than 12S. A perfectly safe Flrsi Mortgage
Bond like the Union Pacific tbould approach this rate.
Tbe demand for European lu vestment Is already
considerable, aDd on tbe completion of the work will
doubikss curry the price to a large premium,
