Tow efforts made to create in Philadelphia the most Tii!nlQrent nvcuue In the world, on tho one hand, and to mar and defsice It, or to post pone Indefinitely Its development, on tho other, form one of tho most interesting and exciting chapters of our loeal ll'8lorJr' In 1,10 Plan of tu0 city there are unfortunately but two ntreots of sufficient width to correspond with tho modern ideas of magnificence and grandeur Market oud Brond. By, common consent the formor In given up entirely to trade and trallle, and whilo tho building lots on either side are lined with stores end wfr?lousc, the centre In traveled not on!y by a double passenger railway truck, but by a freight track with rmruero-.u i luroowta. This Is but one of many streets dedl- I roUvl to commerce, and with each new year j rnitgnlficont new stores spring up in region pre- i riouMy occupied exclusively by dwelling-bouses. Every true Philadelphian is delighted with theso evidences of progress and unmistakable proofs of the Increase of trade aad business activity. But meanwhile it must not be forgotten that art, wience, architecture, and, if you will, fashion, have irresistible claims to municipal attention, and that no city can be a true modern metropo lis which does not present numerous attraction pleasing to the eye and grateful to cultivated tastes, as well as the commercial facilities which appeal solely to sordid instincts. Many a West er or Southern merchant, who lengthens his Journey to buy goods at New York, is attracted there, unconsciously to himself, by what ho knows or has heard of the splendors of Fifth avenue and the beauties of the Central Park, evea while he forces himself to believe that ho Is Influenced solely by commercial motives. But It Is not for strangers only, or chiefly, that a grand central avenue of art and fashion should be created in Philadelphia. Tho population now rapidly approaching one million souls, which, In tho natural order of things, will be swelled to twice that number before another generation passes away, are deeply Interested in all that pertains to the decorative arts. All classes are equally Interested. Whilo the suc cessful business man needs a splendid, home not far from hie counting-house, the toiling masses should not be denied the pleasure of gazing upon A sfiking and concentrated display of tho wealth they cannot amass, and share at least with their eyes tho magnificence which is founded upon their steady labors. Public opinion has dedi cated Broad street to this purpose. The advances of commerce in every other direction will bo joyfully approved, but its obstructions hero are ungenerous and annoying. Millions have already bcea spent to decorate and Improve Broad (street, to erect splendid dwellings, to lay down tho Nlcolson pavement, to plant beautiful trees, and to line its sidewalks with public buildings of the most Imposing character. Many million more will soon he expended for similar purposes, as church after church points its tall spire tip wards to the heavens, as tho Masouic Teuiplo approaches completion, and as the projects of various Influential societies are matured, until the whole street is occupied by palatial resi dences or still grander structures, and its entire length is rendered tho grandest drivo in th! world. These improvements have progressed with sufficient rapidity to attract great attention aud commendation, and to clearly foreshadow tti coming glory of this great thoroughfare. But they have been constantly obstructed in tho most ungracious and unjust manuor. At ono time there was great danger that tho whole street was to be occupied by a double Hue of new railway tracks, aud tho work was at one period actually commenced. Then the proposal to remove tho old freight tracks encountered steady opposition. At last the first of April was fixed definitely ns the period for their demolition. Then City Coun cils were persuaded, In a weak moment, to con sent to a postponement for a few months of . this Improvement, and now it appears that dur ing this period of grace tho Legislature has been Insidiously asked to pass a law permitting tho tracks to deface tho street and obstruct tho com prehensive plans for Its development for an inde finlteperlod. As the wishes and welfare of tha citizens of Philadelphia are tho last things the Legislature ever thinks of, the Senate readily consented to this scheme, and the House also adopted it, but not finally, it appears, as a motiou to rocoueider it was sustained. Councils, how ever, were wide awake, and Indignant at tho breach 1 of faith involved in the movement of the refractory property holders, they promptly rescinded their ordinance autho rizing delay, aud rapid workmen were ready to carry out their prompt decision before tho ink was dry on the Mayor's signature. This coup d'etat is decidedly creditable to the city fathers, and It will be cordially sustained by tho masses of all parties. The Legislature may as well abandou the attempt to perpetrate another glar ing outrage upon the people of Philadelphia and Broad street, rescued from another peril, will be Improved more rapidly than ever. Too much praise cannot bo awarded to tho City Councils, who actively exerted themselves to thwart the infamous Legislative scheme. Whilo all who co-operated in this movement de serves tho commendation of their fellow-citizens, Mr. A. II. Frauciscus has been specially dis tinguished for his unswerving zeal, and tho final triumph of the people is largely duo to the un flinching courage aud activity ho displayed, in common with some of his faithful colleagues. City Councils have now glory enough for ono day, and their constituents wiU gladly overlook few shortcomings when they remember their action hi the Broad street question. ANDREW JA CKSON'H LEG A CY. CABf, 8CHUKZ, the new Missouri Senator, la UU argumont against the bill repealing tho Tenure-of-Office act, referred to tho question of a reform In the civil service of the country as ono of tho greatest problems presented to tho statesmen of the present day. The main source of tha cor- rupHou and Inefficiency by which our present system U both degraded and disgraced, Senator , Schun urged, "was not to be found in the exer- ' else of the arbitrary power of removal by tho Executive, but iu the system of appointments of public officers ut random from personal or politi cal favorisism, or upon the principle that to t'l? victors belong tho soUs." He then argued th it. while such a system la continued, a law like tho Tcnuro-of-Offlco act would In all probability be productive of more harm by fettering tho action of nn exemplary President In the way of remov ing Incompetent officers, than the good to be accomplished by preventing Improper removals by a President of the opposite character. This argument brings before us the fundamen tal princlplo of tho modern school of politic., that "to tho victors belong tho spoils." For tills maxim nnd the disgraceful system which is based upon it, the country is indebted to that most vindictive and obstinate of all vindictive and obstinate Kntcsmen, Andrew Jackson. His services to tho country In tho war of 1812 and In various other contents were so pre-eminent. Hint his elevation to tho Presidency followed as a matter of course. The national policy favored by him was comparatively of trilling account. If Henry Clay had been enabled to base his aspira tions to the Chief Magistracy upon such a mili tary record as that of Jackson, ho would not have been forced to comfort his disappointed and em bittered spirit with snch unsatisfactory philoso phy oh was contained In the memorable declara tion that he "had rather bo right titan bo Pre sident." Harrison and Taylor, both members of essentially tho same political school to which Clay belonged, rode into power upon their war horses; whilo Scott's defeat in 1852 was owing, in great measure, to his garrulousness, and the partial offset of an apology for a military record which Pierce was able to present. For this reason we are Inclined to regard tho legacy bequeathed us by Andrew Jackson as one of those dispensations of Providence which are impossible of solution. Tho character of "Old Hickory," and the terrific contest which pre ceded his first election as President, fully pre pare the historical student for the inauguration of a policy of proscription and revenge such as ho indulged in, although it was directly opposed to all the previous traditions and customs of tho country. During his term of eight years, Wash ington exercised tho power of removal uino times only. Six of theso removals wero from eollcctorshipa of no special Importance, tho re maining three office-holders upon whose necks the axe fell being a district surveyor, a vice consul, and a foreign minister. In the latter caso that of Charles C. Pinckney, who had been sent as our representative to Paris the cause of the removal was a dislike which the French Di rectory entertained towards the victim; aud iu all the other cases there was substantial cause assigned, without any regard to political views. John Adams strictly followed the example sot by the first occupant of tho Presidential chair, making but nine removals during his four years of power, all of them from unimportant posi tions, and none because of political antagonism. Jefferson was obliged, by the circumstances of his position, to make thirty-nine removals in the course of eight years, but he repeatedly as serted that not a single one of thorn was prompted by political opposition. Five removals were iriiule by Madison, nine by Monroe, atid two only by John Quincy Adams, making a total of only seventy-three cuses in which tho Presi dent of the United States exercised tho power of direct removal, from the establishment of tho Government in 1780 to the accession of Andrew Jackson in 1829. Jackson's biographer informs us that, up to the time of the delivery of his Inaugural ad dress, it was universally believed that the new President would not materially depart from tho policy of his predecessors in this respect. But tho Inaugural contained a mysterious refereuco to a contemplated "reform," and before a half- day had elapsed after its delivery, it was known throughout the capital that this "reform" meant a wnoiesaie visitation ot vengeance upon tno host of Federal ofllce-holders who had opposed Jackson's election, without any regard to their honesty, capacity, or efficiency. He was soon found to be as good as his word, aud before the close of the year 18C9 six hundred and ninety removals from office, on political grounds alone, were made, according to tho statement of Colonel Thomas II. Benton, while other authorities place the number as high us two thousand during the same period ! Among the most noticeable of these was the case of General Harrison, who had been residing at Bogota but a few weeks as Min ister to the infant Republic of Colombia, but who was recalled by Jackson just four days after his inauguration, simply because the former soldier had mildly censured the course of the latter iu the Seminole war years before. In this way the advent of the hero of New Orleans upon the Presidential stage witnessed the inauguration of a system of proscription which has continued to the present day, result ing in degrading our civil service into tho most corrupt and inefficient now tolerated in the civilized world. But the country has good rea son to hope that President Grant will confer a lasting benefit upon the country by the establish ment of a different system, in which honesty, cui acity, and efficiency shall take the place of the opposite and heretofore prevalent qualifica tions for office under the Federal Government THE UECALL OF REVERDY. Phksidbnt Grant has done what was expected of him by recalling Minister Heverdy Johnson from the Court of St. Jumes. Secretary Fish, ut the instance of the President, has signified to the great after-dinner treaty maker that his re signation will be accepted as soon as tendored a polite and diplomatic way of telling Reverdy that lils services are no longer required, ana giving him an opportunity to retire gracefully without waiting to be kicked out of office. Mr. Johnson has appa renlly allowed himself to bo beguiled into the belief that his mission to England has been un entire success In every particular, lu fpite of the rejection of his treaty by tho Senate and the denunciations of his course by the press and people. Even at this late hour, when the eyes of the English people have boon opened, to his real character, aud it has been fully deniou.- J biruicu mat ne is in no sense a representative of tho people or Government of the United States and that his silly behavior has only served to widen the breach between the two countries, he continues to figure at the fostive board and to de liver renile post-prandiui ouitious the same as ever. We have happily got rid of oih Johnson, it is to be hoped fwrever, and now KtWcrdy Is to follow Andrew Into retirement, and trouble us no more. For this relief much thanks; and while we hopo and believe that President Grant will appoint a competent minister to the Court of St. James, It is a satisfaction to know that he can scurculy under any cireunistunces send a more unfit man thau tho one whose resignation has just been requested. Bl'RA O UE"8 Q VIET US, Senator Si-haouk, of Rhode Island, has not made a very Imposing figure since he has been in Congress; ou the contrary, he has been con tent to remain quietly iu the background "a looker-on hi Ylcnna." Of lute, however, Spragug has been aroused by the direful condition of tho country, aud has apparently bocoino im pressed with tho Idea that ho Is tho only man capable of saving us from Impending ruin. He has therefore cloctrificd himself, not tho Senate or the country, by several extraordinary speeches, which might do credit to somo of tho members of the junior class of our High School. Making a speech Is an event of aotno moment In Spraguo's career, and ho therefore was careful to prepare tho Renal ami tho country by circulating rumors nd hinting darkly as to tho tremendous char acter of his performances. But, alas! it is tho old story of the mountain that brought forth a mouse, and Senator Spraguo was dolivcrcd of a vory small and insignificant mouse indeed, yostorday. His speech was a rambling disquisition about everything in general and nothing in particular, a modest depreciation of himself and a grand glorification of Spraguo, and with a naivete which Is perfectly charming, ho acknowledged that, not having sufficient ability himself, ho had procured tho sorvlecs of somo ono else to wrlto out his remarks, although ho Insisted that tho Ideas were all his own and well they might bo. Mr. Sprague's colleaguo, Sonator Anthony, mado a reply, which we fear will effectually deter that gentleman from making any more speeches, and ho administered au effectual quietus by classing Spraguo with Colorado Jowett and George Francis Train, and by assert ing, amid tho laughter of tho Senators and the galleries, that, notwithstanding the dreadful con dition of our national affairs, with Mr. Spraguo as a lcitdor, Mr. Colorado Jowett In diplomacy, and Mr. George Francis Train In general states manship, there was still hope for tho country. The only objection we have to this classification is that it is too complimentary to Spraguo, and wo are anxious to hear what Jcwett nnd Train have to say about admitting h!m to companion shl) with them. It sukms dlfllctf t, If not impossible, to set a limit to the misconduct of the present Legisla ture. Each new day adds a new act of infamy to its disgraceful record, and if tho avowed ob ject of its sessions was to thwart tho interests of the peoplo of Philadelphia, it coJd scarcely adopt uioro unjust and odious measures than those which meet its approval. Wo notice that tho Age unites with tho Republican press of the city In strongly condemning tho action of the Democratic Senators who voted for the Cattle bill, and it confesses that "the masses of tho party in this city are justly excited and indignant at the conduct of some of their representatives." Yester day the bill postponing the removal of the rail way tracks on Broad street was rushed through the Senate, and subsequently passed in tho House, but there a motion for Its reconsideration fortu nately prevailed. Aside from theso recent acts, tho spectacle of grave legislators suddenly changing tho laws of the State lu reference to tho commutation of punishment for murder, at the bidding of tho friends of a convicted felon, was to the last degree revolting nnd disgraceful. It may or may not be right to allow tho Gov ernor to commute tho death penalty, but It was certainly wrong for the men who misrepresent the State to suddenly authorize such a radical change lu criminal jurisprudence for the avowed purpose of prcveutiug tho execution of a con demned prisoner. Thk Fink Auts This evening Messrs. James S. Earle & Sons will give a private view at their gallery of a very superior collection of American works of art, and to-morrow and after tho exhi bition will be opened free to the public. A num ber of superior works will be included in this collection, aud there will bo several features which will make tho exhibition unusually In teresting. Ono of tho most important pictures will bo Bierstadt's "Vesuvius in Eruption." This work was executed last year from sketches made upon tho spot, aud it is said to be a remarkably showy and attractive painting. Tho "Yo Semite Volly," by Hill, of Boston, is another largo picture that has been favorably commented upon by the critics of other cities, and it is said to be superior to Bierstadt s rendition of tho same sub iect. "Good Words," by Constant Mayer, the painter of "Convalescence," "Love's Melan choly," and other pictures that have been exten sively popular will also be an attraction. All of these pictures ure being ehromo-lithographed, uud Messrs. Eaiio A Sons will take subscriptions for copies. Iu addition to theso, tho exhibition will contain a new work by Xanthus Smith, "The Fight Between the Monitor aud tho Morrima'?, which the artist witnessed, aud by Hamilton, Willcox, Moron, and others Ono of the most attractive features of the ex hibition will be a number of the most popular chronio-llihographs of the day side by side with the originals, so that tho public will be able to indue of the faithfulness of the copies. Those who are interested in chromo-lithography will derive pleasure from the Inspection of a volume which explains the whole process at a glance. Eastman Johnson's illustration of Whittier's "Barefoot Boy" is exhibited in a dissected state; that is, an impression from each separate stone is given, and on tho opposite page the effect produced by the successive printings, thus snow ing tho gradual growth of the picture under the lithographic artist's hands. Most persons have a general idea as to the manner m which those nictures ore produced: and all who are at all Interested in the subject will bo pleased to see the process thus clearly explaiued.

For the most part they look very raiieb alike. It unffd to be esteemed a ermt calamity to a family when twins were introduced, but of Lite years, since ROCKH1LL WILSON haTe so powerfully reduced the expense of clothing boys, it costs about as much to clothe two boys as it used to clothe one. Therefore it is quite in object to hove a pair of twins in the family. Twins can wear each other's clothes, or their own, as they prefer, tjomotimes it happens that when ono twin's clothes are netting somewhat worn, the other twin riaea a little earlier in the moniiiiR, and guts the best clothes. Twina can say cachovher's lessons at echool, which is also a great convenience, as one lesson will do for a whole pair.
