TITfS LKaiSLATUniZ AND THE 31V. NICirAL nUILDINQS. 1 . Ths lower branoh of the State Legislature yesterday resolved, by the decisive vote of ings shall be erected on Independence Square, and we hope that thia who, just, and neces sary resolution will Bpeedily be approved by the Senate. A large majority of the citizens of Philadelphia, and evory disinterested Pennsylvania residing beyond the limits of the city, will heartily approve thia action. Those who wish to cover Independence Squaro, forever, with municipal buildings, niav iniatrine that veneration is an obsolete virtue, and they may affeot to ridicule the attempts to preserve the birthplace of American liberty from perpetual desecra tion 'as too absurd for their serious notice. Their philosophic legislative ally, Mr. Elliott, may be "grieved to find that the American eagle has been loosened," and he may account at his leisure to his constituents for his de claration that, "if there was any sanctity about the hall there was certainly none about the square." Evon the opponents of the ob noxious project may readily confess that the present associations surrounding Indepen dence Hall are of a degrading oharacter, and that we are in part prepared to troat with in difference even the room where the immortal fifty-six pledged thoir lives, their fortunes, and their Bacred honors, by soeing it mule the perpetual background of a knot of huck stering politicians, and by having it flanked on one side by the headquarters of a force de voted to the arrest of cri minals, and on the other by courts where the enemies of society are judicially arraigned. But these associa tions have been popularly regarded as a tem porary rather than a permanent evil. Every patriotic heart has looked forward confidently to the period when they were to be removed for ever. Although it is discreditable to tho city that they have been perpetuated to this time, even that fact has not dostroyed, in millions of bosoms, a feeling of profound veneration for the spot which, of all others on the globe, is most sacred to the lovers of human liberty, and it is an insult to rhiladelphians to pretend that they are dead to the sentiment which so universally prevails among all other citizens of the United States. On several occasions when de structive fires oocurred on blooks contiguous to Independence Square, no man who re . members how the firemei. surpassed thorn- Helves by the courageous daring ot tueir et f orts to shield Independence Hall from tho devouring flames will dare to tell thorn that they are indifferent to its destiny and its fu ture surroundings. Other cities have reli giously preserved for thousands of years the eanotity of places which have not a tithe of the intrinsic importance legitimately connected with Independence Square, and ' as tho centuries rolled on the jealous care with which suoh spots was guarded increased rather than diminished. So, too, should it be here. The subject is not one on whioh we should baggie. If we care so little for the birthplace of freedom that we are willing to formally proclaim a degrading estimate of it to the world (as we certainly would do by covering all the adjacent space with expen sive edifices), we may as well tear it down, stone by stone, and let it be transported to some other city where it would command municipal respect. If the newspaper writers and legislative orators who Bneer at the idea of the sanctity of the square wish to test publio sentiment, let them carry the spirit they display to its logical conclusion by advo eating such a removal. They will then speedily discover (that answer tho people have in reserve for thoir favorite proposition 7 HE PRISON INSPECTORS AND TI1E 110 USE OF CORRECTION. This report of tho Board of Prison Inspectors, showing the operations of the County Prison for 18G9, fully confirms the opinion we have hitherto expressod in these columns, that the only proper site for a House of Correction is on the grounds adjacent to tne existing pri son. They reiterate their conviction that, while it is imperatively necessary that the number of the cells in that institution should La immediately enlarged, "a House of Cor reclion for vagrants and drunkards should constitute" one of its departments. To ac complish an object which is bo vitally neces sary to the welfare of this city, an enabling act of the Legislature appears to be neces sary, and if that body wishes to Bave Phila delphia an expenditure of millions of dollars on the one hand, and to place her whole sys tem of dealing with crime and criminals on a proper footing on the other, it will quiokly pass such an aot. Too much time has already been wasted in visionary schemes whioh were based on jobbing operations, and the money that Councils are tempted to spend for an unnecessary, expensive, and inoonvenient new rural site will be nearly sufficient to put all the proposed new machinery in working order. In mercy to the overburdened tax- - payers of Philadelphia, O wise men at Harris burg, grant the just request of the Prison Inspectors, and for once permit her oitUena to accomplish a neoessary object in a seusible THE INDIANS. In not(?h column will be found ft copy of ft most important bill offered yesterday by Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, the chair man of the Senate Committee on Military Affairs. General Wilson is entitled to the thsinki of the community for perfecting and intro ducing into the Senate a bill that gives the promise of meeting with goneral favor, and going far to solve the great problem of what shall be done for the Indian. The chairman of the Military Committee may be viewed as the representative in the Senate of the Military Department of the Government. I would soom from the bill presented by him that there is now to be made a systematio and per sistent effort to prepare all Indians in amity with the United States for the high privileges accordod to them in our amendod Constitution. It appears also that the Board of Inspectors appointed under the bill are to prevent the fraudulent claims for damages by which annual appropriations for Indians are often swept away as soon as tho appropriation bill becomes a law. Whole tribes have often by these fraudulent claims been obliged to starve or steal, because of wrongs done by a few scampish soldiers or hangers-on, or be oause of actual frauds charged against them in Washington, whore they had no power to give rebutting testimony. The other advan tages of this bill will be apparent to all who read it. SOUTHERN RAILWAY MANAGE- MENT. MoftT of tho Southern railway companies were so much impoverished or disorganized dar ing the Hobullion that when the war was over they found it impossible to carry on their operations, and they were compelled either to sell out or lease their roads for merely nominal amounts to Northern capitalists. The men into whose hands the roads thus passed are too often inspired solely with the idea of making money to care how the publio are accommodated or protected so long as they can realize as large dividends as possi ble out of their speculation. All the South ern railroads were in ruinous condition at tho conclusion of tho war, and on mnny of them only such repairs have been made as are abso lutely necessary for the running of the trains. The tracks have been laid and the bridges repaired in the cheapest manner. Make shifts of every description have been resortod to to save money, and with old worn-out engines and cars, badly laid traoks, and the badly patched ruins of bridges, the only won der is that thousands of persons have not been slaughtered every year in order that the gains of soulless corporations may bo in creased. An example of the consequences that mnttt inevitably result from this system of manage ment was furnished not two weeks ago on the Mississippi Central Railroad, where a train of cars ran through a tresllo, killing from fifteen to twenty persons. This horrible oocurronce was the result of the system of management we have described, and the men who oontrol the affairs of the road are directly responsi ble to publio opinion, as they ought to be to the laws of the land, for the death of every person who was slaughtered on this oocasion. The Mississippi Central Railroad was leased for a term of sixteen years from the 1st of September, 18G8, at one d'Hlar per year; the lessees assuming during that time all the re sponsibilities, pecuniary and otherwise, of tho original corporation. Tho lesseos were Henry S. McComb, of Wilmington, Del.; Sam Tate, of Memphis, Tenn.; Josiah Bard well, of Boston, Mass.; Eben D. Jordan and Charles A. Lombard, of Boston; II. Winthrop Gray, Cyrus II. McCormiok, and Junius B. Alex ander, of New York; John L. King, of Spring field, Mass.; Horatio D. Newcomb, of Louis ville, Ky.; and Samuel M. Folton, of Dela ware county, Pa. doing business under the name and style of the Southern ltailroad Asso ciation. If the Southern railroads are to be rebuilt and put in operation the aid of North ern capital will have to be largely ex tended, and no one expeota .that capi talists will invest their money unless thoy expect to gain something by it. But the publio have some rights in railroads as well as the men who oporate them, and thoy have, above all other things, the right to demand that they shall be kept in good repair and managed in suoh a manner as to make travel over them reasonably safe. The publio have a right to demand that rotten bridges and trestles shall be put in good condition, that the tracks shall be Beourely laid, and that the looomotives and cars shall be built sufficiently well and kept in sufficiently good repair to guard against any suoh disaster as that which occurred upon the Mississippi Central on the 2Cth of February. If the managers of railroads cannot fulfil those con ditions they have no right to oarry on the businoss of transporting froight and passengers, and they ought to be held responsible before the courts for every dis aster such as that referred to. If an example were to be made of the men composing the Southern ltailroad Association, in this in stance, there in no doubt that it would have a most benefioial effect upon the management of all the Southern roads, and would oompel some genuine efforts to be made to have them put in proper condition, bo that the publio would be able to travel over them without fear and trembling lest they should at any moment be made the victims of a lit tie coterie of capitalists, who are only inte rested in filling their own pockets, no matter what may be the consequences to others.

Indeed, to such a point has Hie anthorltr of an executive officer now reached, that (s In the raaa of Peolj) he mar commit alniont any aot of atrocity or Injustice with Impunity, without tht knomlettie' of hi commander, since he has been mano tho ssio "medinra of communication" to him.

The great picture sale of tbe season is an uountcd to lake place on Thursday and Friday evenings next, at the galleries No. 1135 Chesnut street, where tho works are now on exhibition, Thlo collection is largely made up of the im portations of Mcrets. Bailey & Co., and It com prises specimens of some of the moat popular European masters of the day. These paintings were selected in Lurope expressly for the sales of Messrs. Bailey & Co., whose taste and judg ment in art matters are in themselves sufficient gunrautces of tho high character of the works they offer to the public. In addition to these, there are a number of picturos by American artists of reputation, and the collection altogether is one of great interest and of a much higher grade of merit than usual. The catalogue men' Hons one hundred and forty-six works In all, and there are several flno pictures in tho colloc tion that, owing to some mistake, have not beon mentioned. Among tho American artists represented are Joteph John, Milne Ramsey, George F. Bonsell, who contributes a number both of landscape and figure pictures; II. C. Bispham, Goorge C I.ambdin, Kubaell Smith, whose "Lake Goorge," No. 19, is an excellent specimen of his best landscape stylo; E. D. Lewis, who has soveral characteristic landscapes; W. T. Richards, and J. Hamilton, who both exhibit views of Atlantic City; G. W. Nicholson, who has several very fine coast scones, which will compare favorably with some of the best European works of the same character; and Victor Nehlig, whoso ''Waiting Woman of tho time of Louis XIV of France" is a work of much interest. Among the European pictures are scvoral very superior performances of O. and A. AckeabaCh, one of tne best of which is "xao wiua atorru at Albano, near Rome," byO. Achenbach, a work in that artist's best manner, that will bo a perpotual source of pleasure to its lucky purchaser. There are also several golden-tintod Italian scenes by Albert Flamm, two or three excellent specimens from tho easel of II. Ilorzog, and a "Moonlight Scene ou the Baltic" by Jacobson that exhibit the beat characteristics of that artists style, The French genre painters are represented by some charming works, among which the most noticeable are Charles Herbsthoffor's "Fortune- Teller." No. 41: Professor Bernardo Forrandiz i "Bashful Lover," No. 43; LadUlaus Backalowlcz'a "I.adv with Pet Bird." No. 43; J. .amacow "The Court Jester," No. 113; and a companion eem by Charles Ilerbsthoffer. entitled "Choos- lnir the Sword." No. 114; H. Poems' "The Toilet." No. 8tf. and a number of others of equal merit. There are several cattle pictures, promi nent amonir which is A. Bresdell's "Sheop in an Enclosure," which is painted with a remarkable fidelity to nature. - This Is but a brief and hasty review of this flno collection, which offers extraordinary In ducemonU to those who wish to become pos eeSBed of genuine art works of undoubted merit' These pictures are nearly all by artists who are fauipus for the high character of their perform ances, And purchasers can scarcely make a mis take In bidding liberally on any of them.
