LEGISLATURES AND MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTS. The Legislature of Alabama recently attempted to uproot the city government of Mobile, and they succeeded so far that two municipal gov ernments are now in full blast in that favored locality. A new Mayor has been nominally installed before the old one vacated his posi tion. As a result, the telegraph informs ns that "Price (the old Mayor) still holds his courts and controls the police, while Harring ton (the Mayor .created by the Legislature) manages the clerical and legislative branch of the city government." Harrington has called for troops to enforce his authority, but the Governor positively refuses to send them, and meanwhile the puzzled citizens hardly know whom they should obey or what misohief a may result from the prevailing oon funion. In Philadelphia we have not yet been placed in quite as bad a position as the people of Mobile, but from present indica tions we are rapidly approaching it. In the decision given by Judge Sharswood on the City Trusts bill, the principle is boldly enun ciated that "fme Legislature, acting for the State, can resume all the franchises of the municipality into its own hands;" and the dis position to exercise supreme control over mumioipal affairs at Harriaburg has increased so rapidly of late years that we Lave only the semblance ! of a local government left, and for all i practioal purposes, except the fixing of tax rates, Councils might nearly as well be disbanded. If the appeal from the decision of the Su preme Court of the State in the City Trusts bill does not prove successful, the control of the Oirard Estate will speedily pass into the hands of a oommittee created by Legislative authority. A bill appointing a Legislative Committee to erect a House of Correction was recently hurried through the Legislature, ' and it la said that it has already received the signature of the Governor. The Police Com mission bill was only defeated by an unexpected veto. The Legislature now has under consideration a bill affecting the organization of the Sohool Board. From time to time the city is compelled to incur heavy expenditures for the erection of sew bridges, or to give the use of her streets gratuitously to chartered companies, by Legislative authority; or the salaries of her offloiala are unnecessarily increased; and, practically, the doctrine is now fully aocepted that the city has no rights which the State is either bound or disposed to respeot. We do not pretend that Councils on the one hand, or the Legislature on the other, are always either wright or wrong, but the prevailing system of dividing authority gives to every knavish proposition a double chance of sue cess, and in the long run it works great injury to the interests of the people. The theoretical control of the city by the State practically means a grant of Absolute power on local questions to the Senators and Representatives of Philadel phia, when they are united, and although we are not afflioted, like Mobile, with two Mavors. we are subjected to two sets or con flicting authorities whose disjointed opera tions produce scarcely lees confusion than would result from rival municipal govern ments. When the Aot of Consolidation was passed, it was commonly supposed that the citizens of Philadelphia would be permitted to govern themselves; but despite the care displayed in preparing that act, itjhas proved a failure, and the whole framework of the political organization of the oity has since been Be thoroughly reorganized by legislative patchwork that nothing but the shreds of the old charter remain. With each new year the importance of municipal government in creases with our rapid growth, our pressing needs, our heavy debt and onerous taxation, and vet with each new year it receives less attentive consideration, and be comes more the sport of a battledore and shuttlecock game between Councils and the Legislature. For these evils a cure could be devised if the best men of both parties applied themselves earnestly to the task. Guided by the light of past experience and a full knowledge of the existing defeots, care ful inquiry would enable them to discover a remedy, and if it was embodied in a compre hensive bill which commanded popular ap proval, there is a fair prospeot that some future Legislature would be found willing to pass it, and that aline of demarcation would thus be established between the authority of the State and the city, which would give to Philadelphia a chance for progress and pros ' merit. As matters are drifting now, tax payers are compelled to pay all the looal ex neniAs that mar be authorized either in Independence Hall or in the State Capitol, ' and if they wish to effect a reform they must , amuse tneir enersnes in bo out uuouuuuo . . .. , ... i j :. -' that their best efforts are well-nigh hopeless. An xffobt is being made in tbe Legislature to hawe the publication of Bates' "History of the PennBTlrania Volunteers continued. This "History" is nothing but ft soandaloos job for the benefit of Bates, and it ought , never to hare been sanctioned by the Legis lature. The best thing that can be done now is to stop any further payments for it, and let tbe money that has been expended go, with i feelings of congratulation that it is no more. There ii not much use in the- people of tbe State complaining about past swindles, thy can- pot be, remedies now, and wo are chieny inter ruled Ju those present and prospective. With m K-ud to the '-History" the Senate seems dis (minmI to give Hates what he asks for t carry on bis iuterminalila rigmarole, but thoj House proposes to keep the matter in abeyance for a time, find to appoint a joint committee to ascertain the cost, and to notify the State printer to cense the publication until, other wise ordered by act of Legislature. ' It would be much more satisfactory if further publi cation were to be forbidden outright!, and it Is not a promising sign for the discontinuance of this drain on the treasury to find the Senate appointing a committee to harmonize the views of the two hoasos on the subjeot. TI1E INDICTMENT OF RICHARD F1CKEN. i The District Attorney, Judge Ludlow, and the Grand Jury have taken prompt action in the case of llichard Ficken, and that Indivi dual was brought into the Court of Quarter Sessions yesterday on a bench-warrant issued on the application of Mr. Gibbons, who stated that he had proparod a bill of indict ment against Fioken, which had been returned by the Grand Jury. The bill charges Fieken with assault and battery; with as sault and battery with intent to kill; with shooting at with intent to murder; and with shooting at with intent to disable Isaao Dar ker, a lad who was in company with young Curran at the time he was shot. Testi mony was submited to show that Ficken fired a pistol at the boys, and also with regard to the condition of the wounded lad. The boy Isaac Barker stated positively that he saw Fioken fire, and Mr. John 0. Curran testified that Ficken came to his house and apologized for the occurrence, offering to bear the expenses of medical treat ment for the iajured boy, and giving as a reason for the outrage he had committed that he thought it was only one of the alley boys. Mr. Curran Tory justly thought that this ex cuse only aggravated the offense, and he re fused to let the matter be hushed up. The surgeon In attendanoe on young Cur ran testified, that the ball was still in the limb, where it could not be found, and that the boy'a life was in peril, though not in imminent danger. Under these circum stances Judge Ludlow said that the defendant must remain in custody to await the result of the boy's injury, and he also held him in the Bum of $5000 bail on the charge of assaulting Isaao Barker. There seems, from the disposition of the court and Distriot Attorney to do prompt and impartial justice in this case, a very fair chance that Fioken will get his just deserts, whicb, if the boy reoovera, under the law will be a fine not exoeeding $1000 and an imprisonment not exceeding seven years. If the boy dies, Ficken will, in the language of Judge Ludlow, be called upon to answer for the highest crime known to the law. : It distubbb the equanimity of the Age to find that Foster Blodgett, the United States Senator elect from Georgia, is disposed to be virtuous in a manner totally unprecedented in the annals of the Democratic party. The Age never heard aud never will, hear of a Democratic Senator elect asking' that his charaoter shall be cleared of charges against it before taking a seat in the highest de liberative body of the nation; for if such a practice were to become a general custom, the Democracy would not be able to have any Senators to represent their interests. It would undoubtedly be a good . thing for the nation if our Senators and Representatives were obliged to purge themselves as Blodgett proposes to do, but we are not astonished that our esteemed contemporary should become alarmed at the idea of Buoh a precedent being established. Blodgett, in a frank and manly letter, requests the Governor of Georgia to withhold his certificate of eleotion until the charges against him shall have been proved or disproved in the most Batisfaotory man ner. He asserts that these charges were pre ferred for political purposes only, and that they have been allowed to stand in court, without any attempt being made to prosecute them, solely for the purpose of annoying him and embarrassing him in the Senate. His letter shows that ho is not afraid to meet them, and so we exolaim with the Age, "Bully for Blodgett!" - The Lxoihlatcbb seems inolined to extend the band of friendship and forgiveness to Geary again at least we judge so from the fact that a bill was reported formally in the Senate yesterday appropriating the sum of $1000 to pay the inaugural expenses of the Governor. The inauguration of a Governor of this Commonwealth consists simply in his taking an oath to support tbe Constitution of the United States and of the State of Penn sylvania, and to attend to various other mat ters, such as faithfully execute tbe laws, etc Why it should cost such an amount as $1900 to "swear in" Geary at the commencement of his second term, is worth inquiring about in these days of high taxes. Who is to reoeive the money, and what is it to be paid for ? is what we want to know. Tns Episcopal Bskch in tbe present day by no means represents the whole of the ecclesiastical strength In the British House of Lords. Inthuen sulDg Parliamentary session, besides the twenty, four bishops, there wUl be nine olerloal peers entl- liuea to seats, via. : The Earls of Carlisle and Buck inghamshire, Lords Bays aal Sale, Soarsdale, Dj ne ver, Aucuana, nroancit, O'Neill, and Buckhurst. This fact marks the rise that baa taken place In the social position oi tne wergy siuo the daya of Parson Adams and Or. Primrose. Chsmberlalne. wrltliur upon the state of England, aooi. after the Revolu tion, remarks with evident satisfaction that, "low as the revenues of the Church have been brought by tbe sacrilege of former times, it baa pleased God to suffer so much still to remain at te be an enoonrage ment to the gentry aud nobility of the nation te edu cate their younger children In that way. And the present age can show several of the eaunenteat churchmen now In England who have at one. honored the Church and added a lustre te those eminent families from which thoy are descended." The list that follows Is very brief, and contains the name of only one peer Lord Crow who was amply rewarded.for his sealous ohurchmanshlp with the princely revenues of the blshoprto of Dublin.
