T tU Kditor nf Tfu.- Keening TeU'ruph.
On the 17th of April, 1801, 'tho Lcnluturc of
retmeylviuila niu-ted a law UiiitroHuKed In driv
ing ftlinont every farmer from the curbstone
markets of our city, nnd lu their place iriivo us a
claw of butchers redding In the city, known as
Hhintur, who are now, together with hucksters,
the only occupants of thcae iimrKcte. The act
ndcr wliich this street nuisance Is perpetuated
reads as followm ''That from and after the pas-j
Sage of this act It mny be lawful for any person!
Whose principal business is that of
farmer, to sell from any wagon or
tand, In any of the public directs In the city of
Philadelphia, that are or may hereafter be ap
propriated by City Councils for the sale of farm
or garden produce in such (inutilities as he may
eeo fit the meat of any nnitual which he may
kave slaughtered on his farm, regardless whether
H lias been raised or fattened by him.'' This
law at Once opcued the door to a horde of men
who claim to be fanners, from the fact that they
own or rent, in the outskirts of the city, a plot
of ground large enough to cultivate a few vege
tables for their own use, and on w hich to erect a
slaughter-house.
In confirmation of this, let any one curious in
Such matters visit the slaughter-houses scattered
all over thctlraU estate, northwest of Monument
Cemetery. These men buy up all the cheap
aged cattle, infant veal, a week or two old, and
lamb they can find, and retail tliein upon the
pavements on Second street. There are also a
number of men who own farms, who find It
very prolitablo to employ from one to six men
each, who act ns their ngents in selling such
meat upon the streets. Instead of Second street
bclug what it was years ago, a market for the
Bale of farm produce by the farmer himself, this
law has changed Its character entirely, and legally
fastened upon the street a class of the very
lowest shinners and hucksters, who occupy our
pavements four days iu each week, allowing us
two days ont of six for the unobstructed prose
cution of our business. "We desire that this
question should be viewed as one of justice.
We ask, Is it right that we, as property owners
and tenants, who are heavily taxed, should be
forced to submit to so gross an imposition, when
about seven-eighths of the owners nnd occupants
of stores on the street are so earnestly appealing
for its removal? The' question has "been fairly
met upon its merits nt Harrlsburg, and
an act has been passed by the Senate
abolishing curbstone uiurkuts on all
streets between Chesnut and Glrard avenue;
but in the House It meets with opposition from
one Representative from the city, for the simple
reason that three or four of his female constitu
ents would be deprived of the privilege now en
joyed, of selling cabbage and beans on the pave
ments of Second street free of charge. Another
objects because a few shinners iu his district,
who represent themselves as farmers, would be
prevented from making meat-shambles of our
store-fronts. Another, because tho residents
Ci his ward consider it a great convenience
to blockade our storc-eutrauees while search
ing for provisions, but never give a thought
to the lneonveiii?-"cc and loss we sustain.
Another objects because his constituents
fear (that, it Uieso shinners uro driven
from 1 Second street, they may migrate t?
his district. It Is really strange' that, with the
great anxiety manifested to protect a few irre
sponsible Ptreet vendors, nil our interests must be
set aside, nil our protesU piis unheeded, th);ig'n
signed by about three hundred owners and
tenants of property on Second street, and repre
senting millions of dolinr Invested on the street,
only that these 'Bedouins may occupy our
property to tho ruin of our busiucss. V c pro
test, iu the name of nil that is just, against so
flagrant a violation of our rights, and insist that
a matter of such vital importance to the In
terests of the greatest business thoroughfare iu
our city receive the attention Its merits deserve,
by relieving it of the most intolerable nuisances
ever foisted by legal enactment upon indignant
property-oy.ntrs and tenants.

The following proclamation was Issued this
afternoon:
By the President of the United States.
A l'KOl'l.AMATION.-
HTieivas, Objects of Interest to tho United
States require that the Senate should be con
vened nt 12 o'clock on the liJth day of April,
lS(i!, to receive and act upon such communica
tions as may be made to it on the part of the
Executive;
.Now, therefore, I, U. 8. Grant, Prosldent of
the United States, have considered it to be my
duty to issue this my proclamation, declaring
that an extraordinary occasion requires the
Senate of the United States to convene for the
transaction of business at the Capitol, In the eltv
of Washington, on the 12th day of April, ISfi'J, a"t
12 o'clock noon on that dav,"of which all who
shall at that time be entitled to net as members
of that body are hereby required to take notice.
Given under my hand and the seal of the
United States, at "Washington, the 8th day of
April, in the year of our Lord 1W.I, and of the
independence of the United States of America
the ninety-third.
(Signed) U. S. Grant.
By the President.
Hamilton Fisfi, Secretary of State.
The extra session Is called to act upon the
nomination of public ollicers.
How (ariint Works.
The President has had his first 111 day since his
inauguration, and there was some anxiety about
him all last Saturday. He is subject to "sick
headaches" an infliction which so many are
compelled to endure and there was nothing
alarming in the fact that he had a recurrence of
his old malady. He was very much prostrated the
previous day, nnd there Is not a doubt that the at
tack was unusually severe because of the excite
ment he lias had to endure from the immense
office-seeking crowd, and from the controversy
Over the Tenure-of-Ollice act. His physicians
believe that these periodical headaches of his
arc aggravated by ids excessive smoking. So
long as he led an active life in camp he was not
? fleeted, but his life is now totally changed.
Ie is compelled to be in olUcc, or at least in
doors, and subject to calls from 9 A. M. till wild
night. It Is a theory of some people that his
business hours commence at 10 A. M., and that
they close at 4 P. M., but such is not the fact.
He has to see Congressmen all the morning,
olllce-seekers generally till dinner, unless
he is iu Cabinet meeting, and then after din
ner he Is steadily bored by Congressmen
again. He rarely gets put, even to ride,
now. Mr. Lincoln used always to endeavor to
get a ride out after dinner. M r. Seward always
did it In the midst of the war, and unless President
Grunt does it he will break down, spite of his
iron constitution. His immediate friends should
see to it that lie has plenty of daily 'exercise in
the fresh air, and diversion from the unpleasant
business of his oIHee. If ho can get over the
next three weeks he will be safe, for in that time
the great pressure will pass away Wathington
(,'ofrei'J'Qii'lehee Detroit Tribune.
A ICttOe for IJV
An rviraordinarv trial has iust taken place in
the Island ol Reunion the French possession
in the Indian Ocean. Pondicherry is a small
French settlement iu India the last relic of
French power left in the Indian empire. Some
time airo a young corporal of French sepoys
named Thouvelln blew up a powder magazine.
The penalty for the offense is death, but there
was no proper tribuual nt Pondicherry, and so
the criminal had to be taken to the Island of Re
union, many hundred miles distant. After a
long voyage he arrived, was tried, and sentenced
to death.
Horrible to relate, his sentence could not be
carried out at Reunion, and he had to be "taken
to the place whence he came to be executed.
lie was put on noaru a war snip, aim me long,
miserable voyage back commenced. There was
a general outburst of sympathy in Reunion. The
process of carrying a criminal this immense dis
tance to ue put to ueain appeared mueu more
like inhumanity than justice. Public opinion
was so strong that the sentence was speeuuy com
muted, and then the race for life commenced.
The fastest vessel in Reunion was selected and
sent after the war ship, in the hope of overtaking
it and saving the life of the wretched man. This
sensational ocean race has been going on for
weeks, but it is not yet known wlucu vessel
won. Happily, It does not matter. The tele
graph, swifter than steam, has carried the re
prieve from Paris to Pondicherry. An answer
has been received that neither vessel has arrived,
and thus, if the convict escapes the ocean, he
will escape death.

Messrs. FARREL, U ERRING A CO.,
No. 29 Chesnut street
Gentlemen : On the night of the 13th Inst., as Is
well known to the cltljsens of Philadelphia, our large
and extensive storeand valuable stock of merchan
dise, No. 90S Chesnut street, was burned.
The tire was onctof the most extensive and de
structive that has visited our city for many years,
tho heat being so Intense that cveu the marble cor
nice was almost obliterated.
We had, as you are aware, two of yonr valuable
and well-known CHAMPION FIRE-PROOF SAFES;
and nobly have they vindicated your well-known
reputation as manufacturers of FIRE-PROOF
SAFES, If any further proof had been required.
They were subjected to the most intense heat, and
it affords ns much pleasure to inform you that after
recovering them from the ruins, we found upon
examination that our books, papers, and othervaiua
blcs were all in perfect condition.
Yours, very respectfully,
JAS. E, CALDWELL A CO.
