REORGANIZATION OF COUNCILS.
YVrrn tha new year a now set of municipal
book aro opened, and Councils Lie reorga
nized. The speeches of the newly-elected
presiding officers, Messrs. Cattell and Wag
ner, whioh we published yesterday, are re
pUsta with important suggestions, and they
indicate that action will speedily be required
on many important munioipal questions.
rhiUdoIphia is maligned by her detractors as
an orergrown village; and unjust as this im
putation is in a general sense, there is too
muoh of a semblance of truth in that portion
of it whioh relates to the system of munioipal
government that has hitherto prevailed. The
city has been governed more like an over
grown village than a municipality of a rank
only secondary to the most populous
capitals of civilization. In former times the
old city led the van of modorn improvement,
but ainoe consolidation, Philadelphia, as a
whole, has fallen far behind it; and as a result,
there is not one duty devolving upon the
munioipal government whioh is thoroughly
and satisfactorily discharged. The necessity
of reform and improvement is everywhere
apparent. Private enterprise has accom
plished wonders in every direction, and in
every quarter it has outstripped the public
progress whieh should have fostered and pro
moted it. While attention has been absorbed
in the exoiting issues of State and national
politics, only a small fraction of our citizens
have given serious consideration to the name
tons home problems which are annually in
creasing in importance, and the practical rule
has been to get over present difficulties after
some fashion, it mattered not much how, pro
vided there was not too great an increase
of taxation. The fruits of this neglect are
painfully apparent. With the largest city
debt on the continent, if not in the world,
we have the most imperfect and incomplete
munioipal accommodations, in proportion to
population and wealth. The publio buildings
are notoriously inadequate. The County
Prison is crowded to suffocation, the House
of Correction is still a thing of the future,
and no substantial progress has been made
toward the erection of new rooms for the
Courts, 'Councils, and publio officers. The
deficiencies of the Water Department were
painfully disclosed by the drouth of 18G!,
and it is now estimated that an expenditure
of three millions of dollars will be required
to provide for present and prospective wants.
The police force is inadequate in number to
properly guard the whole city, and its in
sufficiency is intensified by the ridiculous
system of making appointments contingent
upon every revolution in local politics, and
establishing partisan service instead of good
character and fitness as the standard of quali
fication. The streets are still paved by the
vnsightly and uneven cobble stones,
and whilo the nocessity of an
improved system is generally ac
knowledged, no definite provision has yet
been made for it. Several bridges over the
Schuylkill are demanded, and the provisions
of legislative enactments will soon compel the
oity to build at least one of them,' willingly or
unwillingly. Further improvements in the
Park are contemplated, and the purchase
money of the land t selected will in itself form
a large addition to the existingdebt. In all
other directions the outlook is equally sug
gestive of the impending necessity of heavy
expenditures which have been already too
long delayed. Ho irever distasteful the pro
position may be to tax-payers, it is manifest
that the city revenues must soon be largely
increased; and it is the true policy of
the rulers of Philadelphia to look their re
sponsibilities fairly in the face, seeking no
longer to shirk or evade them. They should
sternly resist corruption and extravagance of
every description, appropriate no money
which will not be judiciously expended for
essential purposes, but at the samo time aim
at a full and conscientious discharge of all
their roal duties. In devising ways and
means, they should carefully consider the
best method of acquiring now sources
of revenue and equalizing the burthens of
taxation. Now real estate bears nearly the
entire load, while in New York, as General
Wagner showed in his speech yesterday, the
city derives nearly as large a revenue from
personal property alone, as Philadelphia ob
tains from all her taxes. We even fail here
to colleot the taxes levied, to an extent un
paralleled in other progressive communities,
and until we place our finances on a new foot
ing, it will be impossible to avoid either
gigantio loans or perpetual postponements of
essential improvements.
THE DYIiON SCANDAL AGAIN.
Mas. Stowe has fulfilled her promise of re
peating her charge against Lord Byron and
his sister in a book that would disouss the
subject in a more elaborate manner than did
her original article in the Atlantic, but sho
Las not fulfilled her promise of proving Lord
Ityron's guilt, and for all practical purposes
the matter remains just where it was left by
the publication of Lady Byron's letters to
Mrs. Leigh. Mrs. Stowa does ,not overturn
the evidence of these letters, although she is
determined to make Lord Byron guilty at all
hazard, and she argues the case with all the
zeal of a paid advocate. The most interest
ing portion of tho book is the account that
Mrs. Stowe gives of the interview with Lady
Byron when the horrible revelation
was made, and we think that from
Mrs. Stowe's own report of th
affair simile evidence can be adduced to
show that Lady Byron, on this point at least,
was of unsound mind. That Lady Byron
told this story, and that Mrs. Stowe boliovod
her, and is determined to beliove her in spite
of all contrary evidence, thore can be no
doubt; but when she comes before the world
with such an accusation, Mrs. Stowe must
expect that something more substantial in
the way of facts shall be presented than the
mere word of an aged woman whose mind
was turned by years of suffering, and argu
ments which are based entirely on the as
sumption of Lord Byron's total depravity and
the belief that, as he was capable of almost
any crime, he must necessarily be guilty of
this particular one. The publio is unable to
see Lady Byron's magnanimity in the Bame
light that Mrs. Stowe does, when it is
shown that she was in the habit
of repeating this story right and left, with
such a variety of details that no one even
thought of believing her; and it is but chari
table to suppose that her mind was unbal
anced, and that she was not responsible for
her words. A large portion of Mrs. Stowe's
book is taken up in proving what nobody
denies, that Lord Byron lampooned his wife
in a most shameful manner, and that she was
obliged to submit to many harsh things said
about her by his f rionds and admirers, and by
gushingly sentimental appeals for sympathy
that Mrs. Stowe invariably makes when she
finds her logio giving out.
The excuse for the original publication and
for this rohawh of the scandal is the one that
has already been disallowed the nocoasity for
defending Lady Byron's memory. Mrs. Stowe's
real reason was that she had got hold of a
spicy item, and she burned to give it to the
world. She has certainly achieved a pecu
niary sucoess if her publishers give her a fair
share of their profits, but there are some per
sons who would not care to purchase success
at the price she has done.
We print in another part of our paper ex
tracts from the advance sheets , of Mrs.
Stowe's new book, which will give our read
ers an idea of its style and purport.
The election of Mr. M. Hall Stanton, by
acclamation, as President of the new Board
of School Controllers, was a deserved compli
ment to a talented and faithful gentleman.
He will, doubtless, do his full Bhare of the
work of rendering the publio school system
of Philadelphia "the glory and pride of our
fair city."
FRANCE,
The 4'('ontltnilonal ltlinr" The New Min
istry, and liu i,oniioe II.
A cable telegram this morning announced that the
"constitutional regime'' of Napoleon III Is in a fair
way to tempt success, M.JOUIvier having succeeded
In forming a Ministry satisfactory to himself and the
Emperor. Of M. Olllvier himself, the head of the
Cabinet and Minister of Justice, we have already
published a sketch. Below we give some account
of.the other Ministers.
Count Napoleon Darn,
the Minister for Foreign Affairs, whose first resolu
tion not to enter Olllvier's Cabinet has been recalled,
is the Bon of tho celebrated historian and statesman
of the First Empire. Napoleon I and Josephine were
present at his baptism. lie entered the Chamber of
Peers by the hereditary right In 1832, and was re
markable for his ability and industry. He took part
In the events Immediately succeeding the revolution
of '48, and was imprisoned for some days at Vln-
cennes, at the time of the coup d'etat, after which he
retired for some time from publio life.
Ioula Joseph linttet.
the new Minister of Finance, held ofllee under the
republic, and attained considerable promlnenoe In
the Legislative Assembly. He has long held a promi
nent and Influential position in the Radical ranks,
and, like Daru, was selected as one of his cabinet
by Olllvier as soon as the latter was entrusted with
the task of forming a ministry ; but, like Daru, be at
first refused to be associated with Olllvier because of
the weakness displayed by the latter at the time of
passing upon the election for members of the Corps
LcgUlatlf.
The Marqnla ue Talbonet,
who becomes Minister of Fubllo Works, belongs to
an ancient family of Brittany. In 1849 he was one
of the representatives of the department of the
Sarthe In the Legislative Assembly, and voted In
favor of the principal measures of the majority,
whom be sustained In their last conflicts with the
policy of the Prince President and bis advisers.
After the massacres In the Boulevards and forolble
dispersion of the Assembly on the id of Docember,
1801, be shared In some degree the penalties Indicted
upon the noblost of Frenchmen, In being Incarcerated
many days at Vlucennes. He became, however, a
successful Government candidate for tho Corps
Leglslatlf In 1852, and was In ltfoT, and again In 1363,
re-elected by large majorities. He acted as Secre
tary to the Corps Leglslatlf daring the sessions of
18C1-C4, and would seem calculated to give a cordial
support to the conservative policy of M. OUlvler.
Em He Alexia Hettrls,
the new Minister of Publio Instruction, Is a states
man of considerable experience in public affairs,
and belongs to the legal profession. In 1859 he was
elected as a Government candidate In the first cir
cumscription of Malue-ct Loire, and was re-elected
In 1863. Ue Is an otllcer of the Legion of Honor, and
being Jaged 68, has had an opportunity to observe
and be instructed by tho most remarkable scenes In
French history.
Charles I.ouvrt,
the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, Is an
experienced statesman. In 1S48 he favored the re
public and was elected for the District of Maine-et-Loire,
receiving 86,842 votes. He has since been re
elected several times, and has given the Kmperor
an undevlatlng support
Other BIrtnbera of the Cabinet.
Maurice Richards, the Minister of Fine Arts, is a
lawyer, and in lsd3 was elected a Deputy from the
Fourth district of Sclne-et-Olse. The Government
candidate, General Melltuet, had a majority on the
first ballot, but on the second M. Klchards ob
tained U,r.T out of 83,450 votes. General Kdntund
Leboenf, who retains his place In the Cabinet as
Minister of War, bas served with distinction In
Algeria and the Crimea, and saved the Italian
army at bolferlno from being crushed by tho Aus
trlan forces. Admiral Krgault de Genoullly, who
also holds over as Minister of Marine, was connected
with the naval operations a if ul nut Sevastopol in
1864, and two years later waa placed In command of
the French fleet In tho Chlneso seas, and there co
operated with the HrltUli at the capture of Canton
lu 13tT.
Other Utah Imperial Fanrtlonarlea.
Csquiruu le I'arieii, the uewiy-appolutud Presl
dent of the Council of Slate, belongs to a distin
gulsbed French family, uud reprewuiud the Depart
ment cf Cantal In tho Constituent Assembly, in
which he took a prominent iimnh undecided part.
Ue was appointed Milliliter of Instruction la 149,
and remained lu eillce until February la, lsoi. After
the eovp d'etat, he was appointed President of the
section of Finance lu the Council of Ktate, and bas
received many proofs of Imperial favor. Ue bas
written several historical aud statistical work.
OJUlou liarrot, tho l'rocureur-Oenera), has ecu
pled a prominent place lu French politics. Though
very young when lie entered the Cbamiier of Depu
ties In the reign of Louis XVIII, he had acquired a
high reputation as an eloquent pleader. bL Uarrot
was a muHt active member ot the party which
brought about the devolution of ls.lO. He was tho
leader of the agitation la favor of reform In HK-s,
and attended several of tho provincial banquets
which led to the devolution of 1W and tho ilmvufitll
of touts I'hllipp. Under the Presidency of Lonls
Napoleon ho was for some time a Minister, and con
ducted the Government of Trance with success in
1861, when he retired for several years from active
political life.
OBITUARY.
Thomas Creavrlrk, H. A.
This distinguished landscape pnlntordled on Satur
day, In London, and was hurled yesterday In Kensntl
Green Cemetery. Mr. Crcswlc.k was born In Slief
Ocld In 1811. He commenced the study of art at
Itlrmlnguara, and continue It at London, where he
exhibited hi Drat picture at the Koyal Academy In
WL Ills favorite subjects at the commencement of
bis career were views la Wales, In Derbyshire, and
on the river Wye. In 1342 he was elected an Asso
ciate of the Royal Acadomy and a full Academician
la 1954. About this time ho received a large com
mission from Messrs. Grundy, of Manchester, to
paint an extensive series of plot urea from the
scenery of North. Walos for publication In litho
graphy. This series was designed as a companion
to the "Lake Scenery" executed by Pyne for the
same house. These works added greatly to Ores
wick's reputation and brought him prominently be
fore the art publio of England as a lamlscaplst of
fine poetical feeling. Mr. Creswlck Is best known In
this conntry by his book illustrations, of which he
executed a great many, and by the engravings from
his pictures. Without being a man of great (renins,
be was a true artbtt, and his pictures and style repre
sent the best features of the modern Mritlsa land
scape school.
