and the release of the accused party at the ln

IS?. "Eta affair Las created considerable sensa
ion, and there has been a very decided demand
for such an investigation as will show up the
fnllty parties in a proper Meht. The c tl.en
who n.ado the arrest, Mr. Thomas Kobinson.
residing, at No. 1117 Christian street, is well
known to a very large elrlo of acquaintances in
this city as a man of the strictest probity, and
is assertions on this subject we will accept, and
they will be accepted by the public, liefore thoso

Wo iw. nniv believe Mr. Robinson's statement,

eommon practice of many of the policemen and

and vagabonds who prey upon society mint

been discharged. On venturing to remonstrate
be was insulted in blackguard terms by some of
the policemen present, who even threatened to
arrest him if feedid not shut up. It was evident
that at the First District ctatiou jtouee citizens

ordered out of the station honse. In regard to the story
f Donnelly being a burglar, there waa nothing found on
or about bim to justify the assertion. He was shoeless

oi Haker or Bedford street, and ten.leil to corroborate his

JUbKPU HKNDBRfiON, lieutenant.
Mr. Kobinson assures us that he was at the
Utiou house a few minutes after 7 o'clock;
that the other prisoners had not been heard; and
that the van was still at the door. With regard
to the question of time, the difference between
the statements of the two parties is a matter of
no consequence whatever. The Alderman and
Lieutenant show, in their own versions of the
affair, that they were in hot haste to discharge
the accused before charges could be preferred
against mm. as tor nis not Having the appear
once of a burglar, and the belief that he was
only a "bummer" looking for a place to sleep.
the opinions of the Alderman and policeman on
these points are worth nothing at all, as they did
not hear his cose. What the public are Inte
rested in knowing Is, why a fair opportunity
was not aitordcd lor the preferment ot charcres
in this instance, for it cannot be said that such
an opportunity was afforded, when a prisoner
arrested for attempting burglary after midnight is
released by 7 o'clock the next morning because
the accuser does not put in au appearance bv
tbat time. Alderman Dallas aud Lieutenant
Henderson may quibble as they will about this
affair, but they will Impose upon nobody and
convince nobody that they did not connive at
the escape of the suspected burglar, with a view
of preventing him irom being brought to pun.
ibhmont. It Is the assurance such scamps as the
man Donnelly in this case have, that the alder
men and policemen will lntenere to protect
them in .their raids upon honest citizens, that
encourages most of the crimes that are com
mitted in this city. The thieves kuow that in
the eyes of a portion at least of the officers of
the law they arc of more importance and are
held In higher esteem than honest men, and that
sueh trillcs as burglary, pocket-picking, and
other little matters of the same kind will be
winked at by such men as Dallas and Henderson
if they can mauagc to keep ou the right side of
them and always vote a straight Democratic
ticket on election day. We denounce this traus
action, as we denounced it in the Urt place, as a
gross outrage, and the attempted excuses of
Alderman Dallas and Lieutenant Henderson

of Charles B. Sutckhouae, No. m Orthodox street,
and offered to sell a fluid he carried In a can, which
he represented to be a patented non-explosive
burning oil.

THE MONARCH. ,
Dearrlptlea of tho ram British lraa-rlad.
The arrival of the British Iron-clad Monarch in
American waters has created the liveliest Interest In
naval and engineering circles, aa she la looked upon
aa a m per lor type of modern armored vessels, com
Miiug very many of the beat qualifications of a
fighting craft, and capable at the same time of
being nsed aaaernlaer In the literal sense. The
naval authorities have bail her thorongaly in
spected, and look favorably oon ber general
featnrea; perhaps In time they may attempt the
const! uct km of a similar class of vessels. While our
monitor system proved of great service during the
hebellkm, and would again in event of a war, yet
thay womd only serve lor coast defense, as they
could not cope with the Improved armored vessels
built by France and England alnce the war, which,
are actually ocean cruisers carrying either heavy
broadsides or ponderous guns mounted In turret.
It la useless to deny the fact that our war-worn
turret vessels are nearly useless by reason of decay,
and are not lit for continued active service or the
hard osage they might naturally expect In ease of a
foreign war; therefore It behooves our naval autho
rities to watch with great caro all the Improvements
made by other maritime powers in armored vessels.
The Monarch is a vetwcl of commanding appear
ance, of notm tots. 8ho Is B:i0 feet in length, B7 feet
inches beam. Her battery la carried in two of
Captain Cowpcr Coie'a turrets,wlth three chase guns
of a less calibre, mounted at the extremities and
protected by an armored casemate. The weight if
the hull, with skin plallng and extra girders In
cluded, 8 PB74 tons; tho other weights,
boilers, machinery, spars, et, amount to 4uTi
tons. The hull. which is of iron, la protected
by T-lnch Iron armor on the most Important parts,
and d-lnch en the other parts, the plating being sup
potted by 12 inches of teak backing, with a l -lech
thickness of skin-plating and an arrangement
of longitudinal girders which are worked
at Intervals of about two feet, thus forming a net
work of framtiig In conjunction with the strong ver
tical frames inside the akin-plating, which are about
the same distance apart. This device has proved so
satisfactory as regards the efficient support It gives
to the armored side, that It ban been adopted In all
Brith-h irmi-clads built since the famous Bcllero
phon. The turrets of the Monarch are 26 feet 8
Inches in diameter, and are constructed on the same
principle as her side armor.
The bow of the Monarch Is specially constructed
and strengthened to allow her to be used as a ram,
while provision is made for the prevention of serious
conseqnences should she sustain injuries while so
employed. The spur or ram may be completely
knocked off without endangering the main structure
in tne least, tttie was ouit at the Chatham dock yard,
and cost about K per ton. Tho bills footed up a
total outlay on labor and materials, 170,513, or a
total, with 12)4 per cent ou actual outlay at the
dock yard of 1!4,1.V2. Hhe Is fitted out as a full
rigged ship, and Instead of the "tripod" masts she
haa ordinary iron ones. A light, lofty upper deck
receives the bouts and ailords a passage for the
oillcers above the turrets. The running rigging is
worked npon the upper deck, over which the turrets
have to lire, aud consequently a number of contri
vances have been fitted to keep both the standing
and running rigging tolerably clear of the guns,
'l he standing rigging is or Iron wire, and when the
ship goes into action it is quickly triced up, and the
flying iron deck is topped up out of the way. An
armored pilot-hotiBO i.s provided, in which the com
mander Is stationed in action, and by means of a
syetenn or telegraphy is enaoied to communicate
with the steering wheel, engines, turrets, and the
batteries located at the extremities. The Monarch,
as well as other vessels of the British navy, is fitted
with gas works, and can be lighted throughout with
gas. .she can be steered by steam, with one man at
the steering machine, and a variety of labor-saving
machines are distributed throughout the ship.
Among them are several of Cameron's "Special"
Kleam Pumps, an American invention which has
found favor in Europe, and la now being exten
sively adopted in the ' Royal navy. Soma of the
turret engines and machinery of the Monarch have
neen suppuea ny tne agents or tne same inventor,

complete, and she is ventilated in the most perfect
manner. There can be no question but that she Is

Paring Ncheine to Burglarize a National Bank
The Thlevea Attempt to Murder a Wnteh.
man.
The Buffalo Express of yesterday says:
A correspondent at Wostfleld gives us the par
ticulars of a murderous attempt, on Sunday
night, to rob the First National Bank, in the
village of West Held, lhe villains, however,
most signally failed. They made an entrance
into the cellar under the bank through a window.
and mounted the stairs to a door which leads
into a small room opening into the back office,
and which is occurred bv a vounir man named
Wallace. He heard a noise, and, thinking it
was caused by rats, lay perfectly quiet; soon he
discovered tne none came irom some one cut
ting the door with a knife. He immediately
sprang up and caught a revolver which is kept
lor such emergencies. 0 ust at tuis moment tne
robbers had made a hole through the doer, aud
hearing the noise inside, decamped throngh the
cellar. Wallace ran to tho window, threw up
tho sash, and fired at one of the men, and just
as he fired he was fired at bv another, the
ball passing under his arm and into the window
sill. Wallace then turned and fired at the other
assailant, but did not hit him. The burglars
now took to their heels and escaped. The bank
is considered burglar proof, and tho money is
protected by one of Lillio's best chilled iron
vaulU. elcht fect high, ten feet deep, and bIx
feet wide; this surrounded by sixteen inches of
masonry; three . sets of heavy two-inch iron
doors, with the best combination loaks, and
inside of all this there are two strong and rell
able burglar-proof safes made of 6teel and iron
in consecutive layers. A man sleeps in the bank
and two of the ofllcers in the same building.
But these rascals stop at nothing, and eternal
vigilance is the only protection we can rely
upon.

Hakrikiilbo, iab. 10. uovernor iwary has
refused to approve the bill passed last week,
directing the Supremo Court to review the evi
dence and decide capital cases on mcir merits.
It was passed to cover the case of Dr. Schoeppe,'
now under sentence of death In Carlisle. The
Chief Justice had .heard the case and de
nied a writ of error, but it was subse
quently allowed by the Attorney-General,
and the case was argued before the 8u
supreme Cort on yesterday and day before
The bill in me nanus oi tue uovernor is a
general one, and provides in the first section
that a writ of error In capital cases shall be al
lowed as a matter of rlpht. 1 he second section
requires the Supreme Court to review all such
cases on the merits. v nue iavoraoie to tue nrst
section, tho Governor will veto the bill because
of his objections to the second section.
Much evidence nae neon presented to tue
Governor in the case of Dr. Schoeppe. and It is
generally conceded that if the Supremo Court
thall decide that there is no error In tho record,
he will not be inclined to extend clemency to
the prisoner. The record, as it stands with the
Executive, is most damaging to Dr. 8choeppo.
The Veto of the Metropolitan Police BUI.
The Governor took up tho Police bill last
evening, for tho first time. He had not seen
the bill until it was presented tt him for his
signature, and was unacquainted with its pro
visions. Large delegations have been here to
urge him to sign it, and many influential pro-

the friends of the bill, by sending a message to
the Senate vetoing the measure. The considera
tion of the veto message was postponed by tho
Senate, on its receipt, uy a vote of 10 to 15.
A Htatement that the Governor la to be Iui-

Resolutions are being prepared by friends of
the police bill to impeach the Governor. Great
excitement in the circle. Great riot anticipated.
The Governor' Veto.
Bpteial Denpateh to Tht Evening Telegraph.
ilAiiHiPuvno. Feb. 10. 1 he Governor a veto
of the Police bill sets forth that the title is not
in conformity with tho Constitution, because it
contains more than one subjeot. Tho bill really
provides for the election of five Pollco Commis
sioners, and yet this ldoa is neither expressed
nor remotely indicated oy tne nue. Auotucr
objection to the bill is that the whole sixteen
pages arc' jumbled together into one section.
Ibis is unusual and improper, there is no rea
son lor tho departure irom tho ordinary rule
of having the bill in sections.
The Governor is fully persuaded that many of
the nolice are ineffective, and not such as tho
good order of the city demands; but, while this
is true, ho more than doubts the wisdom of the
proposed remedy which contemplates an entire
revolution ot the constitutional authority oi tuo
Legislature at the time of profound peace. To
create such a power us the Metropolitan Police
bill contemplates to operate over the whole
Stato, is a question of great magnitude. Involv
ing the inherent rights and principles ot a re
Dublican trovernment.
me Dili is traugnt witn momentous conse
quences to the citizens of Philadelphia and of
the State, and tho position that power can bo
taken away from so largo a portion of the poo.
pie without their consent, for a period of years,
and lodged in the hands of six persons, is extra.
ordinary, and in violation of the spirit of the
1st and xa sections ot tutn article ot tne uonsti
tution. If there exists auy right in the Leglsla
ture to concentrate power in a few men for a
term of years, then it must be admitted they
have the nrrht to do it for any number ot years
To recognise their right to legislate specially
for one city, i to acknowledge that they
have similar power over every other city, tillage,
and borough within the State, and that, by the same
reason, Congress possesses like power to legislate
for different States, and make a grand metropolitan
police bill, ana secure executive legislative ana ju
dicial powers to a few persons, and exclude the
masses of the people, ao unprepared to sanction any
such mischievous legislation, ao autl-repnbltcan lu
Its character, and calculated ta destroy the dearest
privileges or tne people.
There should be no officious Interference with
local affairs. The great principle upon which our
Institutions rest are absolute sovereignty of the
neoule and adherence to power to elect their own
officers. It gives them remedy for every evil and a
corrective to every a' use. The city of Philadelphia,
In oider to pay the necessary expenses of her gov
ernment and Interest of her immense debt, Is not
In centtition to increase her liabilities ; aud If she
does so, It ought to be with full understanding of
the limit.
The salaries of the Police bill officers alone are
seventy-eight thousand dollars, and incidentals
twt-tit.v.two thousand more. The bill provides that
the board may lncreaae the patrolman to an indefi
nite number, aud that Councils must pay the bill.
This is iu every respect the moat perfect surrender
of the powers or tne many to tne iew tuui mo uur
rmnrhiiH ever seen. Such Dowers are not exer
c.iHori hv the autocrat of Russia. City Councils seora
to be completely ignored, and the people
mrnit lift taxed to supply the demands
of the board, and after paving the fifty thousaud
dollars to get the Trojan horse on its legs, are made
rennnnnihUi for indefinite expenses In the future.
The police are also to be put onawarfooting.no
nn ltfintr admitted over forty-five years of age.
Thus able-bodied, experienced, and competent
officers are to be excluded merely on account
nr , . This is nerhaps the first time
in State history that competeut men who have
,.nri their rountrv faithfully in her armies are to be
proscrliied and ostracized. This la monstrous injus
tice. Tho Governor says that the members from
different parts of the tiate who supported this bill
knew that their constituents would not submit to
such infliction of absolute taxation upon themselves
iw a utrnrin moment. It la this klud of legislation
that createa discontent under pretense of securing
peace. It arouses in tho bosom of every man who
knows hi riuhta tne most ucierruiueu uppusiuon.
No republican government can exist under unequal
laws f
it. i nti-renubllcan In form aud not democratic In
nrinc.iniB for a btate to perpetuate lta power by tlie
aasuage of unequal and unjust laws towards the
mlnerity.l For these and other reasons he cannot
annrove Die bill nor do anything to taka from the
people any portion of their Inherent right. The
Zi.Jnnr, At everr local officer with executive duties
should b submitted to popular vote, ami there ia no
reasou why Philadelphia should be deprived of the
rieht of dhoostng by her own vote those who shall
constitute the Commissioners of Police aa well as
those who shall be Mayor, Councilmcn, and mem
bers of the tiegiBiaiure. . .
Ti.io ta mi elementary axiom that free eovnru
ment should have aome one responsible head. Here
tofore the Mayor of Philadelphia has occupied this
position 01 iruat, aim mo ptupic nu nym w iook
to him. If he has lallcd to meet their expectation
they have their remedy at the ballot-box, aud let
them have this again ut the first opportunity. It
will not Unprove the existing' condition of things to
divide this rcponuiuii,j muuup si uutuinisstouera,
r hmit the Mayor would bo but one.
To whom would they be responsible? Would It be
to the Legislature, which changes annually? Not to
the people, for they did not elect them. Divided re
sponsibility in government is a political heresy,
l iit kind of an army would It be with six cum.
mandlng officers of equal rank, and what good an
be expected of a police organisation governed by six
equal and Irresponsible commiKslonera? If the people
of Philadelphia desire a police bill, let the commis
sioners lie of their own chooalng. Let them be of the
people, for me vv"l'lK "J me people. , . ,

The Speaker announced Messrs. Brown. Moonev.
Hong, Klllot, and Bunn aa a committee to aacertain
whether any corrupt means were used to pass tha -Metropolitan
Police bill.
The special order oi tne uay was tne consideration
of public bills, tho first of which was on divorce, as '
follows: ;
Section 1. That in addition to csusaaof dirsica now ei-
litinif, evert llourt of Common Plans shall hxf power
and jurisdiction to grunt and decree divorces from the
bond of niatriineny in all cuxee la which the Conrt shall
be of opinion, upon the evideaue submitted, that the best
interrsis of the parties and the cause of public morality
wih be promoted thereby. . .
Section 2. H veir uoh application shall set out the Bp,
cial fattH and- cirenmntanees of the complainant a griev
ance, and shall be presented to the Court only in term
twioit. It Khali thereupon he the duly of the Oourt care
fully to examine said application, and if the Conrt shall
be ot oi in ion utat tue facta uierein ooniainea anaeut
oat do not.: 'ustify tlie granting- and decreeing of such
divorce nndxc t he provisions of this act, a subpoena shall .
not be awarded thereon: but if the Court ahs.ll be of
epinioa that the grievances ho complained and set oat do
juMiiy in araniing ana uecreeiim oi each divorce, a tub.
noma slmil be anardea thereon, and anon aiuiliuauon
pama
shall thereupon be proceeded in as othor applications
under existing statutus. and sabiect to all their Droviaiona
as to residence and domicil.
Seotion 3. It. Bhall be held to b the true intent and
weaning of this aet that all the powers vested in the .
Legislature to giant divorces la by this act vested ia tha
several Courts of Common Picas
Kuciion 4, It ahull be competent far any married vomii
to she fur a divorce in ber own nsine, wbether under this
or loriaur stutntes, withont a ncxtfnend, and her aetata
shall be liable for costs in such suit as if she were a f 'mm4
Kolr at th time of thug and precaution ber application.
Mr. White, ot Allegheny, moved to amend the-'
Drat section by adding the words "aa taught, by the
principles of the Christian Scripturea," out after
wards changed his amendment so as to read "as
taught by the principles of the New Testament."
Mr. Craig, or Lawrence, said that the amendment
was intended to make a civil government administer
Christianity. It waa the sole duty of such Govern
ment to regulate the natural and acquired rights of
man.
It regarded marriage entirely aa a civil contract,
although church organizations could regard It aa
they pleused. This amendment would change the
whole theory of civil government; who should
determine what the principles of religion are when,
applied to arfulrs of btatcT Kach gentleman haa hi
his own view of Christian principles, and as the '
Supreme Court would be the final resort, that body
would be called upon to define and determine spiri
tual rights. We might aa well have a pope at once
to govern.
Mr Brown trusted that the views of the gentle
man would never be adopted. He waa aatouiahed
thut any one should rise in a Christian Legislature
te place the sentiments of Tom Paine above the
Holy Hcrlptures. He hopel that If any divorce bill
was panned it would be founded on the doctrines of.
the New Testament, the foundation of all laiv... , ,
' The bill waa postponed.
