Street Cleaning;.
Th8 Legislature reoentlj passed a lair trans
ferring from City Counoils, the Major, and
the Highway Department, the power they
hare hitherto exercised over matters relating
to the purification of tha streets, and the re
moral of garbage from the markets and
publio highways of the oity, to the Board of
Health. This ohange may prove highly bene
fioial, and, at all events, it is soaroely possible
that it oan exert a deleterious influence.
Counoils have failed atterly as scavengers.
It matters not what plan they adopt, it never
Buoceeds. If they anthorizo the Highway De
partment to undertake the task, a great deal
of pains is taken to employ laborers iu the
wards where their votes oan be most effec
tive, or to put on the pay-roll men more
famous for their skill at the polls than their
aotivity in handling scrapers and shovels.
About election times extraordinary ao
tivity prevails; but at all other seasons
the streets remain disgustingly dirty. If
Counoils employ contractors, the filth may be
gathered up and carted off onoe or twice a
year, but it seems vain to expect more fre
quent and thorough purification. Contractors
caloulate very olosely. If they wait until the
streets are full of garbage, the cost of collec
tion and removal is about repaid by the value
of the material as manure, and the sum re
ceived from the city is nearly all clear profit;
while frequent sweepings and sorapings,
although deoidedly desirable to the publio,
leave too small a margin. The oontraot
system, as practically administered in this oity
during the last few years, has amoanted to
but little more flhan an agreement to pay
the oontraotors for cleaning the strets
at intervals when they were sure of collect
ing remunerative quantities of manure. This
system is bad enough, but at one time even a
worse oustom prevailed in New York, for the
tax-payers of that city were paying a million
of dollars, nominally, for cleaning the streets,
when no real service of any kind was ren
dered for this money, the whole sum being
recklessly squandered among the favorites
and partisans of plundering oifijlals. In this
progressive age, when the world is startled
year after year by some stupendous new tri
umph of eoienoe or engineering skill, wueu
the mightiest rivers are spanned by bridges,
the bed of old ooean made the resting-place of
telegraphio cables, ship canals dag out of
deserts, oities built on piles, and the loftiest
mountains crossed by railways, modern civili
sation, as typified fn City Counoils and High
way Departments, has proved totally incom
petent to grapple with the mighty task of
sweeping up and keeping clean the publio
Streets I Everybody knows how to do it. No
superior mechanical or industrial knowledga
Is necessary. The end aimed at is a thousand
times more simple than the labor imposed
npon Heroules when he was called upon t
clean the Augean stables, bat it is evidently
toomuoh for the wisdom of City CouuolU.
Ti9 Mt charitable conclusion is that they
have preferred practising the great govern
mental art of "how not to do it," to an earnest
and honest effort to devise a simple bat crti
olent method for achieving a simple but very
Important result.
In view of their oentinued failures, it la im
possible for the Board of Health to preve lass
effioient, and there are good reasons for believ
ing that if that body is untrammelled it will
sot'disappoint the just expectations and de
sires of the citizens of Philadelphia. At the
outset, however, we regret that an apparent
ooafliot of Jurisdiction is threatened. The act
of the Legislature directs the board, within
twenty days after its passage, to advertise for
proposals, and to furnish specification 3
showing how often and ia what manner
the proposed work is to be den,
tni it apparently contemplates
the ' commencement of a new system
of street cleaning in all portions of the city,
with new oontraotors and new brooms, so
that the proverbial advantages of novelty ia
this department of industry may bo realizjd.
Councils, however, after considering a motion
to authorize the Mayor to resoiud existlug
OOntraots, have indefinitely postponed thi
further consideration of that proposition, anl
disposition is thus apparently evinced to adop'.
sort of dog-in-the-manger policy. We pre
sume that in due season all the legal baariuga
of this question will be fully explained; but io
the meantime there is little doubt that Coun
cils would best serve the publio interests by
graoefully surrendering whatever real or
apparent control they may still possess over
the business they have failed to transaot in a
aatisfaotorr manner. Let the Board of Health
Lave a fair trial, and win credit or odium,
aooording to the skill and effioienoy they dis
play. In seasons when pestilence is threat
ened, that body oan soarodly fall to prove
more alive to danger, and more anxious to
avert it, than any otner department.
La bob and its Wages. Some time Bluoe
we gave plaie to an elaborate and oarefully
..rA nftnh bv the Hon. William D.
Kelley, In the House of Representatives at
Washington, in the oourse of which he dis
sected the last annual report of the Hon. David
t1 f!nmTTilrtflonHr of Iilttira&l
kt f V CHUe Jw aw
Jteronae. Mr. Wells, it seems, went to work
t onoe at Lis reap aw, and has now appeared
In another exhaustive arttole In reply to
Judge Kelley's strlotures, to which we g
plaoe to day. It ia deserving of general pa
rusal. A Ilnbbnb by llnbbell.
Ths phrase, "William Wheeler Hubbell, Kiq.
of Counsel for Defendant," is well calculated
to inspire in the mind of an ordinary reader a
sentiment approaohlng that of awe. Yet we
regret to say that the lnoubratlons of nubbel1
are not as happily oonoeired as the grand flour
ish of his name. When we peruse the ten
oent pamphlet purporting to contain "new
faots and presentation" of the Twitohell oasei
"by William Wheeler Hubbell, Esq., of Conn
eel for Defendant," as aforesaid, we are in
clined to the belief that W. W. II. is not as
heavy a gun as he appears to be, at first
sight, or else that he oondesoends to fire
ehots considerably below his maximum oalibre.
The ten-cent pamphlet in question has baen
on our desk In our waste-paper basket, we
should say for some weeks past, and
we did not regard the mortification of H abb ill,
when the Supreme Court ef the State reoeutly
made a similar disposition of the same ten-cent
effusion, as a sufficient excuse for troubling
our readers with any oomments upon it. W.
W. H., Esq., of Counsel, eto , has sinoa then
Journeyed to Washington, and put in an ap
pearance before the Supreme Court of the
United States, and as he appoars to regard
notoriety as the chief end of man, we are per
suaded to give him the benefit of our circula
tion. ILe most striking "new faots and presenta
tion" contained in HabbeU's ten-oent
pamphlet, the merits of which are being
argued before the most august Judiolal tribu
nal in the land to-day, appear, on a cursory
reading, to be certain ecoentrloities in syntax
which wonld do credit to the diplomatio Rose
crana himself. Acoord'ng to Hubbell, "the
true solution of the defendant's case
arises and exists" in a "manifest detachable
condition," , and "the commencing base
of determination is verified
by absolute material law;" but, not with,
standing "the poker with the grey hair" fur
nishes "the key-point or base of commencement''
to the fact that "the turning of the faoe upward,
and the head off on to the pillow of the sofa,"
"it at most is but an ejaculation if inquiry" to
suppose that "oil cloth is cool iu summer, and
dogs have some sense, and consult their com
fort !" I fall this be not as clear as the water
of the Schuylkill opposite Manayank, after a
freshet, then Twkcuell is beyond the shadow
of a doubt au iniiooent and persecuted man.
Coming down to llubbull's "presentation"
in the most serious manner, we find thtt he
bases his appeal to the Supreme Court of the
United States on the fi'th and sixth amend
ments to thi Federal Constitution, thusly:
"It. Jier aia Arlle'e V says.'Xo terson shah'
badrp Ivedorfif libBrty or propertv wltuout
due process or law;' and In Article VI. 'Iu ail
c nullum rrnKeeuUouR iha acousrd snail' 'be In
formed of nvure end cnue tif the aoousa
tloi,"to be etironted wit a the witnesses axluttt
bliu.'elo."
Wberefore, acka Hubbell:
"1m not the course of th9 irltil la rilreot con
flict with the true latent iind meaulng of to it
sixth article f (tie auaeuiluiertln to Ibe Uonsll

Constitution ?"
Chiff Justice Chase and his colleagues oan
doubtless appreciate a good joke, despite the
dignity of their office, and if they do not in
dulge in some very loud smiles when poring
over the "new facts and presentation of the
case by William Wheeler Hubbell, Esq., of
Counsel for Defendant," it will be because all
the elements of jooulartty whioh nature im
planted in their hearts have been thoroughly
supplanted by the pranks of just suoh "limbs
of the law" as W. W. H., Esq., of Counsel,
eto. Is it not about time that Hubbell and
O'Byrne, and the rest of them, should com
municate to George S. Twitohell, r., the faol
that be will, on Thursday next, "be hanged
by the neok till dead?"
The Abolition or Capital Funlslimeut.
Wb publish to-day the petition of a member
of the bar of this oity, praying the Legis
lature to abolish oapital punishment. We
believe, on general principles, that hanging a
man is the worst use society can put him to;
but eo long as that is the law of the land, we,
as law-abiding citizens, are bouud to call for
its vigorous exeoution. In a oountry like
ours all persons should be proteoted equally
by the laws, and all persons who violate them,
whether rioh or poor, ignorant or learned,
surrounded by friends or friendless, should
be held by society to answer at its bar for
every offense. We agree with Mr. Kilgore
that punishment should inolude the idea of
reparation for the crime, and, as far as praoti
cable, the reformation of the orimlnal also. In
our laws too little attention is paid to theae
objeots, which gives to them a look of arbl-
trary vindiotivenesa which doubtless has a
bad infiuenoe upon depraved minds. If some
plan could be devised whereby soolety could
be protected, and at the same time have the
penalty corrective and reformatory rather
than revengeful, making long years of good
conduot in prison available to the prisoner.
during which time he might have opportu
nity to make reparation to those
whom he has wronged, by contributing
his earnings, lesB what it costs the Common
wealth to keep him, it might be an improve
mentnpon the present system. In oases of
assaults and batteries he might be sentenced
till he oould earn enough to pay his fine. In
oases of burglary, theft, etc, he might be im
prisoned long enongh to earn double the
amount of property taken, and if, in addition
to this, he should produoe an unblemished
record of good behavior while in prison, and
give seourity for good behavior thereafter, he
oould be set at liberty.
It is possible that th's same principle would
apply to murderers. The prospeot of being
set at liberty, after an Imprisonment of twenty
7 ears ol hard toil, to repair the wrong done to
an individual and to society, might BtlmulaU
the worst of orlmlnala to have an untarnished
reoord, by sinoere repentanoe and good con
duot, cultivating self-regpeot, whioh always
leads to reformation. We should want the
pardoning power put into the hands of a com
mission, consisting of the Governor, Judges of
Supreme Court, and at least six other per
sons, removed as far as possible from poli
tics, so that every case might rest alone upon
its own merits. The present state of things
shows that our methods of dealing with orlml
nala are defective, and unless some adequate
remedy is devised, we shall soon have a vigi
lance committee to proteot the lives and pro
perty of our citizens.
OBITUARY.
Ir. Robler DnnglUon.
The medloal profession has loet one of lta
most distinguished ornaments by the death of
Dr. Kobley Dannllson, at his residence, No. 1116
Girard street, last evening, at 8 o'clock. Dr.
Dungllson's death was not unexpected, as he
had been iuOerlng for a long time from heart
disease and dropsy, and for several months
past he was so 111 as to be con fine 1 to the
bouse.
Dr. Dangllson was English by birth, but for
the greater portion of his life he resided In this
country, and he was thoroughly Identified with
the medical profession in the United States
He was born In the year 1793 at Keswick, Cum
berland county, in the north of Kagland, and
he was consequently In the seventy-seoond
year of his age at the time of his death. Dr.
Dunglison commenced the praotloe of medi
cine in London in 1819. In WH he was Invited
to accept the position of Professor of Medlolne
In the University of Virginia, and he accord
ingly removed to the United States. He re
tained his connection with the University o
Vlrginla until 18S3, when he aooepted the post1
lion of Professor of Materia Medlca and Thera.
pernios in the University of Maryland. ' During
the residence ef Professor Dunglison In Vir
ginia he became acqualn'd with President
Madison, and a warm friendship sprang up,
which continued until the death of Mr.Madlsoa.
Dr. Dungllson's great work on "Human Physi
ology," publUhed In 1832, was dedicated to Mr.
Madison.
Dr. Dunglison was elected In 1836 to fill the
chair of Professor of Medicine In the Jefferson
Medicul College of Pennsylvania. This posi
tion he held until the spring of 1803, when he
was compelled to resign It on acoount of Hi
health.
Dr. Dunglison was an enthusiast In his pro
fession, and he was the nuthor of a number of
valuable medical woras which are rtoogalzed
as standard authorities on the subjects ou
whioh they treat. Ills "Dictionary of Medloal
Solenoe" was published in 1833. "Elements of
Hygiene and Human Health," and "General
Therapeutics and Materia Medlca," in 1836; and
"New Remedies" in 1839. He also edited "Mas.
endre's Formulary," and the "CyolopwJU of
Praotioal Medlciae." of Des. Forbes, Tweedle,
andConoily. It Is estimated that over one hun
dred thousand copies of his works have been
distributed In a'mst every portion of the
world.
Dr. Durjg'.ison was a member of a great num.
berot Uteiary and scientific societies in the
United Slates and Europe. He was President of
the Mutlcal Fund Society and Vice-President 0
the Pennsylvania Institution for the Education
of the Blind. He had a deep Interest In the
prosperity of the last named Institution, and
gave his valuable assistance In the preparation
of a dloilouary for the use of the blind. Dr.
Dunglison stood at the top of his profession,
and bis loss will be deeply regretted In the
medical and so'.entlno world. Personally he
was an amiable and accomplished gentleman,
and he leaves a large cirole of devoted friends
to mourn his death.
