TUESDAY, JANUARY U, 1870.
rENNS YL VAN1A AND THE OA B1NET
'Deapatches from Washington apprise us from
timo to time of renewed efforts to secure a
Cabinet position for a citizen of Pennsylva
nia, 'inhere can be little doubt that this State
Is fairly entitled to that mark of distinction,
and that in the distribution of honors and
patronage the President has certainly not dis
played any partiality for this Commonwealth.
Bat it would be infinitely better that the
claims of the State should be ignored than
that it should be unfittingly represented.
When Grant's intention to select Judge
Strong to fill the probable vacancy that would
be made by the transfer of Attorney-Oeneral
Hoar to the Supreme Bench was announced,
it met with very general ap
proval, but since the failure of this
project, through the postponement of Hoar's
confirmation, a new project has been set on
foot that is less likely to command the favor
of the poople. We refer to the demonstra
tions of delegations in favor of the appoiat
meut of ex-Attorney-General Benjamin II.
Brewster as Judge Hoar's sucoessor. The
simple fact that he is deeply involved in the
clique and faction quarrels of the Republican
politicians of the State is of itself a strong
reason against his elevation. He has man
aged to make many enemies and few friends
by his career at the State capital, and he
could scarcely hope for a better fate at Wash
ington. It cannot be doubted bnt that he is
an able lawyer and a good speaker; but
men with infinitely less genius would prove
wiser and safer counsellors of a national ad
ministration. As the favorite attorney of the
tilave-holders in the old times when fugitives
were remanded back to labor, he was inimi
table, as the victims of oppression who,
guiding their course by the north star, sought
their way to freedom, found to their sorrow.
Aa an advocate of the doctrines which cul
minated in secession, he was scarcely less
skillful. This is attested by his active par
ticipation in a publio meeting held in
this oity in January, 13G1, at which
coercion was denounced, and the po
licy of tame submission to treason advocated
at a time when the few true men in
Buchanan's Cabinet had seen the necessity of
standing by the flag of their country. But,
ready as the Republicans of 1870 are to for
get past records, they are certainly not dis
posed to single out for special honor any man
who was conspicuous for his zeal in behalf of
the slave-catchers, or who opposed coercion
after the passage of secession ordinances.
The President, it is reported, responded to
the appeal to appoint Mr. Brewster to a seat
in the Cabinet by the declaration that no
vacancy existed, and as he has already indi
cated that he has a decided preference for
another citizen of this State, if a vaoancy
should occur, Mr. Brewster's prospects are by
no means flattering.; and if the President
does not wish to add to his list of unpopular
appointments in this State, he will take
especial pains to resist the pressure that all
future Brewster delegations may try to bring
to bear upon him.
ANEW SERVANT.
Tub Tneumatio Tube Company, who are
boring Broadway, have set Mayor Hall at de
fianoe, and given him to understand that even
he has ao right to peer into the mysteries of
their cavernous researches. The mechanism
of the Pneumatio tube at Paris is simple
enough, and as this mode of transmission of
messages . will doubtless be adopted in due
time in our own city, a brief account of it may
interest our readers. A series of iron air
tight tubes pass under the pavements and
bridges from the Bourse to the prefecture at
the Hotel de Ville. The despatches, en
closed in their envelopes, are placed in nar
row metallio cylinders, covered with leather,
-each containing forty despatches
The iron tubes are fitted at either end with
pistons. TThe means of propulsion for these
are both simple and economic. They consist
of two iron vats, of which the capaoity de
pends upon the length of the tube required;
one of these serves as a vat for watqr, the
other for compressed air. A tube connects them
with a valve opening, bo as to allow the air
from the water vat to pass into the other and
to prevent its return. Great tubes, furnished
with stopcocks, join the water-vat on one
Bide with the Canal de l'Ourcy, and on the
other with the sewers: this volume of water
flowing into the pipes and vat propels the air
in them into the air-vat, from which at will it
is directed against the pistons which drive
the cylinders containing the despatches.
The sole expense in this mode of trans
mitting despatches is the first cost of con
struction. The propelling force is always at
band in any city where there are water-works;
a force which, as will be readily seen, is al
ways ready, and needs neither fuel, food, nor
wages. The experiment has been so success
fully tried in Paris that it threatens to do
away with the cumbrous machinery of the
postal and telegraphio service within the city.
M. du ttamp, in a book just published in
Paris upon the internal management and
functions of (hat city, avers that a convoy of
cylinders weighing seven hundred grammes,
and enclosing four hundred despatches, will
pass the whole length of the route in less
than a minute.
Whether the mysterious borers in New
Yotk hiive used the water power for the com
pression of air we do not know, but in case
of the introduction of the pneumatic tubo in
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH -riTlLADflLPHIA, TUESDAY,
Philadelphia, we would strongly recommend
it as more readily available, cheaper, and
more manageable than that of steam. The
volume of wator flowing from Fairmount
under our streets is bo muoh unused and
wasted force, waiting to be osed, and we
should be willing to take a hint from Pari,
and learn how to compel the idle giant to not
only bring us drink, but carry our burdens
and deliver our messages for us.
Queen Victoria, we ae told, baa sixteen
grand ohildren. There have boon times when
heirs to the fhrone of England have been so
earce that an importation from the conti
nent has been found necessary to keep the
farce of royalty in motion. But, thanks to
the maternal propensities of Victoria, there is
no such soaroity of kingly material felt in
this generation. Yet the glut in -the market
has had the same effect that follows the ac
cumulation of a surplus stock in markets of
other descriptions, and English royalty is as
cheap as it is abundant. The two eldest sons
of her Majesty are about as sorry specimens
of manhood as the English people could well
be afflicted with in the way of possible rulers,
and if their immediate successors are destined
to pwtake of the same character, they are
entitled to the sympathies of the whole
world. When, in tho early part of the last
century, the home stock of kingly material
was completely exhausted, and the importa
tion of the Georges from Hanover was ren
dered necessary, our cousins found them
selves in a predicament similar to that now
threatening them. George the First was
reckoned vile; viler George the Seoond; and
what mortal ever heard any good of George
the Third ? It would seem that English king
craft is about as undesirable when the legiti
mate raw material is scarce as when it is
plentiful.- The disestablishment and disen
dowment of the house of Guelph would be
quite as profitable as the disestablishment
and disendowment of the Irish Church is
destined to be, and we doubt if it would not
prove equally acceptable to a majority of the
people of Great Britain if they could but be
persuaded to try the experiment.
Unhappy Mexico is again indulging in an
insurrection, and this time the outbreak has
assumed an alarming aspect,-aa itsleadex at
the very first stroke has bagged the capital of
a State; together with its Governor and the
greater portion of its Legislature. Mr.
Seward during his visit cannot but have ob
served the chronic tendenoy of our sister re
public to. anarchy; and, although Mexico has
rib icebergs, and her earthquakes and vol
canoes are comparatively no great shakes, a
continued succession of revolutionary fer
ments is quite as desirable an acquisition to a
country which longs for peace arid peaoef ul
pursuits. We should not, therefore, be
greatly surprised if he were to signalize his
visit to the Mexican capital by negotiating
with President Juarez a treaty whereby the
United States will aoquire the entire territory
of our revolutionary neighbors, on the pay
ment of a few hundred million dollars in
gold. To an ordinary mind such a schema
will perhaps appear visionary and impractica
ble, but MrT Seward's mind is not of an ordi
nary cast, especially in the matter of terri
torial acquisition.
A Needed Reform is advocated by the
Board of Overseers of Harvard University,
who have decided that it is inexpedient to
confer the collegiate degree of A. M. in
course, as has long been the universal custom,
and that some method should be devised for
giving this degree only upon examination or
in consideration of some acknowledged lite
rary or professional excellence. This is a
step in the right direction, and if a serious
attempt should be made to carry it into exe
cution, it will have a tendenoy to enhance
materially the value and significance of col
legiate honors. As matters now stand, a col
lege degree is about as consequential aa two
or three extra initials in a man's name; and
but few sensible men who have any other
claim to publio consideration ever dream of
parading their empty academic titles. Mas
ters of Arts and Doctors of Law and Divinity
are as plentiful as have been Brevet Brigadier-Generals
since the close of the war, and
their importance in the eyes of the world at
large is, as it should be, small in the inverse
proportion. n
Gold win Smith, it is reported, will return
to England during tho current year, the cause
assigned being the alleged fact that the Ame
rican climate does not agree with his health.
We should imagine from what we have seen
and heard of Goldwin, that this hypothesis is
the correct one; and that, moreover, his fail
ing health has reaoted upon his intellect, and
caused a corresponding weakness of mind.
By all means, then, let the Professor cut
short his stay among us, and, by a speedy re
turn to old England, save the remnants of
his wits, as well as the fag ends of his bodily
strength. He is a useful man in his proper
sphere, but the American climate evidently
disagrees with him, and, what is still more
unfortunate, causes him to lose sight of his
true vocation and ramble in fields of discis
sion which -are altogether too devious for one
of his scholastic training.
A new and uniqijk dodge of the whisky
ring him been developed recently in Califor
nia. The revenue law which is supposed to
be in foroe provides that no malt, oorn, or
other material shall be mashed, nor any mash
be used by a distiller, at any time between the
hours of 11 P. M. on Saturday and 1 A. M.
of the Bucoeeding Monday; and any person
who shall violate these provisions is made
liable to a penalty of ilOOO. But while pro
hibiting the mashing on Sunday, the law does
not make a distinction as to the payment of
the tax on all spirits distilled. Some of the
California distillers have taken advantage of
this oversight, and resorted to mashing on
Sunday, claiming as a reward for their defi
ance of the law the exemption from taxation
of all the whisky prodnned from the Sunday
mash. We are somewhat surprised that
' George Mountjoy did not discover this noat
device for dofrauiincr the revenue. The in
fluebtial politicians who are reported as
being engaged in the task of securing his
pardon by the President should make good
use of this argument. Having resorted to
every trick known to the ring in this locality,
he should certainly be set at liberty to try
his hand at the most impudent and most in
gonious one that has yet beea devised.
An Inunction on the Injunction Busi
ness is advocated by Governor Hoffman, of
New York, in his recent message to the Legis
lature of that State. He "recommends the
passage of a law forbidding the granting of
injunctions or the appointing of reoeivers in
oases affecting moneyed and other corpora
tions on ezparfeapplieationsiannd even goes
so far as to express the oonviotion that it
would be belter to abolish the writ of injunc
tion altogether, than to continue the disgrace
ful use of it which has become so frequent of
late. If Governor Hoffman snooeods in per
suading the Democrat Legislature of his State
to bring about such a reform in the practioe
of the New York courts as is here advocated,
thore will be some substantial compensation
for the scandalous frauds by which he was
seated in, he Gubernatorial chair. The
judiciary of New York city has become the
standing disgrace of the whole country, and
its infamous proceedings have operated in an
almost incalculable degree to the detriment of
some of the most important publio works
upon the continent. It has been through the
agency of injunctions obtained of judges
steeped in corruption that the notorious
Fisk, Jr., has been enabled to revel and riot
at the expense of people who are absolutely
helpless in his grasp. If the end of this
shameless traffic in misnamed justice should
bring about no other good result save his
utter ruin, the moneyed interests of the coun
try would have substantial cause for re
joicing. SPECIAL NOTICES.
