rUBLISnF.D EVERY AFTERNOON
(9CNDATS EXCEPTED),
AT THE EVENING TELEGRAPH BUILDING,
, No. 108 8. THIRD STREET,
PHILADELPHIA.
SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 1870.
Litr Tin: Evlning Tklkgrapii, from
its original establishment, has been in the
receipt of telegraphic news from the New
York Associated Press, which consists of
the Tribune, Times, Herald, World,
Sun, Journal of Commerce, livening Post,
Commercial Advertiser, ami livening Ex
press. The success which has attended
our enterprise is, in itself, a sufficient evi
dence of the freshness, fullness, and relia
bility of the news which we have received
from this source. We have now entered
into a special contract by which Tin'.
Evening Tklkgraph has the exclusive
use of the news furnished in the afternoon
by the Associated Press to its own mem
bers, the North American, Inquirer,
Ledger, Press, and Age of this city, and
the leading journals of the East, North,
West, and South; and hereafter Tiik
TELEGRAPH will be the only evening
paper published in this city in which the
afternoon despatches of the Associated
Press will appear.
TELEGRAPHIC NE VS DESrA TCEES
Tub discussions arising from the false report
of the arrival of the steamship City of Boston
at Queen b town have awakened an unusual
degree of public interest in the whole subject
of the supply of telegraphio news to the daily
journals. We have, therefore, deemed this a
fitting occasion to explain the position of The
Evenino Telegraph in this matter, more
especially as its relative advantages in ob
taining and promptly publishing the very
latest intelligence from all portions of this
And other countries have recently been
greatly improved, and it is right that readers
and advertisers ahould be apprised of the
character of the arrangements upon which
our unquestionable vantage-ground over all
afternoon contemporaries is based. We have
not the space here to give an elaborate de
scription of the practical workings of the
Associated Press. It is sufficient to say
that every influential journal in the
country depends upon this Bource, exclusively,
for Its regular supply of telegraphio news.
In New York, the Jlerald, Tribune, Time,
World, Sun, Journal of Commerce, Evening
Post, Commercial Advertiser, nnd Evening
Express look to this quarter for all their des
patches (except those called specials). In
Philadelphia precisely the same intelligence
is supplied to the North American, Ledger,
Inquirer, Press, Age, and The Telegraph,
and to no other daily journals in this city. The
superiority of this news to that furnished by
any other association is well understood by
all intelligent readers, and it constitutes, in
fact, the main cause of the superiority of the
journals we have named, as newspapers, to
(their contemporaries. Long experience, abun
dant capital, the control of many thousands
of miles of telegraphio wire, and the employ
ment of hundreds of agents, have
given to this association so strong a position
that all attempts at serious rivalry have proved
abortive, and the few suooosses of its antago
nists have been limited to the temporary
triumph of nefarious schemes to steal its new.
Formerly the despatohes of the Associated
Press were furnished to the Evening Bulletin,
of this eity, as well as to The Telegraph.
But, for reasens unnecessary to mention
here, the Bulletin was recently cut oil from
this source of supply, and after this occur
rence The Evening Tklegbaph effected an
arrangement with the managers of the Associ
ated Press in this city by which this journal
obtained the exclusive right of publishing
Associated Press despatohes in regular after
noon and evening editions. For this
privilege we pay a good round sum
nearly as much as The Telegraph
Kn&BuUctin, combined, paid, when they sharod
jointly the news and the expenses. Hut, as a
practical result, we have the same vantage
ground over the Bu'letin, and all other after
noon or evening journals of Philadelphia,
that the North American, Ledger, In
quirer, lress, and Age possess over their
morning contemporaries; or that the Herald,
Tribune, World, Times, and Sun possess over
Buoh journals as Brick Pomeroy's New York
Democrat. Our facilities for obtaining prompt
and reliable intelligence are therefore now on
a firmer basis than at any former period, and
the superiority of our news is palpable
to every intelligent obsorver. Since the
Bulletin has lost its former facilities
it has been compelled to full back upon the
device of copying our despatches, and day
after day intelligence which appears in the
third or fourth edition of The Telegraph is
vamped in later editions of the Bulletin.
It is true that it obtains by this expedient
much of the same news that we publish; but
its second-hand supply is often received at
too lute an hour to be available to its
tegular subscribers, and not uufrequonlly
intelligence of great importance reaches
us at such an hour that, while we oan print
and circulate it in our Inter edition, It cannot
be used by tho Bulletin or furnished to its
roadors, except on the following dny. It is
natural, perhaps, that the Bulletin, sino it
has boon forcod into this strait, should deory
the value of Associated Press de patohos.
But it displays questionable taste in donouno
ing them on the one hand and systeimti
cully copying them on the other, and among
thoso who understand this subject, tho course
it is now pursuing will not assist, in the
slightest degree, its efforts to extricate itsolf
from its present dilemma.
THE INCOME 1AX.
Thr income tax is cortainly the most onerous
and nnploasant that could possibly be im
posed, and it has only boon submittod to with
any degree of patience from the su pposi tion that
it was a necessary war moasure that would cease
as soon as possible after the ocoasion that
made it necessary. Admitting that it was and
is a necessity, it is obviously the duly of the
Government to render its collection as little
burdensome and inconvenient to the citizens
as possible. It is unfortunatoly the case,
however, that many of the assessors and col
lectors behave towards those who are com
polled to transact business with them as if
they were the masters rather than the ser
vants of the public. Some of these men are
boorish and insolent in their demeanor
almost beyond endurance, and even
those who have in some degree the man
ners of gontlemon take very little pains to be
accommodating. Many of the assossors ouly
keep their offices open between the hours of
0 A. M. and 1 P. M., just when most men
cannot loave their businoss without great in
convenience and loss of time and money.
Others are gracious enough to raoeive tho
returns between the hours of 7 and 9 o'clock
in the evening on one evening in the
week, apparently thinking thereby that they
are making a great concession, for whieh the
miserable wretches who aro unfortunate
enough to have taxable incomes ought to be
sufficiently grateful. The collectors, for thoir
part, show a fastidiousness about the cleanli
ness of the United States legal-tenders that
are offered them that is unheard of in the
ordinary pursuits of business, and they rof use
to accept notes that are in any way torn or
that Bhow marks of rough usage in the good
cause of sustaining the Government credit, no
matter how plainly their gonuinoness may be
apparont. It is certainly high time that
there was some remedy for this sort of thing,
and the gentlemon who are employed to
assess and collect this burdensome tax made
to show some slight regard for the conveni
ence nnd rights of those who are obliged to
have business relations with them.
NITRO-OL YCERINE.
An explosion of nitro-glycorine occurred on
Wednesday near Hidgefteld, New Jersey,
which was only less destructive to life and
property than some other similar disasters
because the opportunities were not so great.
As it was, the disaster was of sufficient mo
ment to increase the dread of this terrible
compound, and to induce the query as to
whether more stringent laws ought not to be
made and enforced with rigor for the protec
tion of those who are obliged in any way to
come in contact with such an agent of
slaughter. The explosion occurred through
the carelessness of a workman who was car
rying a bag of the nitro -glycerine upon his
back from Schaf er's factory to a sloop in the
Hackensack river which was being loaded
with it. The man lost his hold upon the bag
and it fell to the ground and exploded. A
second explosion followed, blowing the fac
tory building to atoms, and killing four men.
The explosion was heard for miles around,
and its force was so great that it broke the
windows of a house a mile distant. It is per
haps impossible to expect that such com
pounds as gunpowder or nitro-glycorine can
be manufactured or handled in the ordinary
business of transportation without an occa
sional disaster of this kind, even when the
utmost precautions are taken; bnt in this, as
in many othor instances where destructive
explosions have ocourred, pure carelessness
appears to have been the cause of the terrible
results. It is certainly remarkable that a
man should be permitted to carry a bag of
nitro-glycerine on his shoulder, when any one
of the numerous aooidents that might readily
occur would produce the most fearful oonsa
quences. It fortunately happened in this in
stance that few porsons wore presont, but
such a thing might happen at any time, and
if the manufacturers will not take proper pre
cautions themselves with the handling of the
material about thoir own factories, it can
scarcely be expected that those who are
brought in contact with it in lh9 course of
transportation will appreciate the importance
of extraordinary care, and the law ought to
make Buch regulations as will give the public
a reasonable assurance of safety. Gunpow
der is terrible enough, but it is far surpassed
in its destructive properties by nitro-glycorine,
and it is shocking to think of the conse
quences if an explosion should occur in the
midst of a crowded population. It is asserted
that nitro-glycerine is far less liable to explo
sion than gunpowder if only a few simple
precautions are taken in the management of
it, and it ought not, therefore, to be a very
difficult thing to establish plain and under
standable regulations with regard to it. And
such regulations once established, the penalty
for the violation in the slightest particular
should be severe, and its enforcement certain
undor every circumstance.
Garibaldi, the hero of Italy, has been
ventilating his ideas of government in a
novel which he has recently published. Ho
believes in a republio ruled by a dictator,
abhors parliaments and oongresses, and,
while he sees and depreoates the dilemma of
the unhappy people who elect a Cuisar instead
of a Cincinnatus, he can prescribe no better
safeguard against the excesses of his elective
dospot than "popular rights and public
opinion." IHs programmo wauld bo very
simple and efficacious if mankind oould
always be certain that tho right man was put
in the right place; but as this fortunate cir
cumstance rarely occurs, no sane poople will
voluntarily run the risk ia vol veil in an error
on so vital a point. Every dospotism is
founded on the pretext that it is the system
best designed to promoto tho welfare of tho
poople govorned, and Garibaldi differs from
the builders of the most dospotic thronos only
in roquiring that his dictatorship shall not be
hereditary. As a revolutionist and popular
leador ho has earned deserved distinction,
but as a republican he evidontly needs more
light, and before he issues anothor work on
politics he had better come back to this coun
try to be reconstructed.
TIIE EVE OF SPECIE PAYMENTS.
TnrjtE is a degree of fragranco about the
news from Baltimore. We are iuformod that
tho Franklin Bank of that place has com
menced paying coin for its own notes, which
although but a resumption of specie pay
ments in a small way, yet it is ploasant to
hoar of. It is tho forerunner of heavier and
more important movements in the same
direction, nnd tolls the death knoll of the
jobbers and speculators in gold. Busi
ness transactions all around us
indicate that the people are
ready, nay, anxious to return to a specie
basis, and will welcomo the jingle of coin for
change. Now, let us have Mr. Sumner's bill
passed and made a law without delay. Let
the issue of papor currency below twenty
five cents be stopped immediately, and by the
let of July we will be ready to clear tho mar
ket of all notos of loss than one dollar in
value. With the silver alroady in the conn
try, and that which is constantly arriving
from one source or another, we have an
abundant supply: it is too heavy for specula
tion to carry. Pass Mr. Sumner's bill and
specie payments will follow.
Mr. Jamks Fisk, Jr., Bays a Now York paper, mado
tils first appearance In the character of a witness In
the Supreme Court yesterday, during the trial of the
Erlo-Vanderbllt case. Mr. Flak at once achieved a
complete success. Ills ability as a comedian was
warmly recognized, and while he was on tho stand
ho kept the entire audience In a state of uproarious
mirth. So successful a first appearance Is rare in
the annals of stage or court, and Mr. Flak may con
gratulate himself upon tho enviable reputation which
bis performance has assured to hlra. It Is to be
hoped that this will not bo his last appearance in the
same character, for It would be unkind to the
amusement seekers of New York were he to rest sat
isfied with his single though signal success. He will
llnd no dllllculty In securing any quantity of engage
ments as a comic witness, and though he will
doubtless be tempted to undertake a "Htarriug" tour
throughout the country, performing lu the Bjston,
Philadelphia, and Chicago courts, it Is certain that
he will find no lack of appreciative audiences should
he remain in New York. There Is no lawyer who
would not feel sure of his Jury could ho engago the
services of Mr. Fisk as an eccentric witness; and we
may expect to see a lively competition springing up
among tho members of tho bar for the right to an
nounce that "Mr. James Flak, Jr., the celebrated
comic witness, bus been engaged at an immenso ex
pense, and will appear for one afternoon only, In
the trial of Doe against Uoo." Such an announce
ment would crowd the court room, delight the Judge,
and 1111 tlie jury with gratitude towards the enter
prising lawyer who had provided so admirably for
their amusement.
Tim Method op Votino at present In vogue in
England will, in all probability, be changed before
another election to that of the ballot as It is in this
country. Most English politicians of the radical
school attach absurd properties to this device for re
gistering votes, and it Is feared that they are destined
to. discover that the Ingenuity of man is quite capa
ble of carrying on frauds, Intimidation, bribery, or
anything else, In front or the ballot-box. liut the
privilege of secret voting has been very highly prized
by the radicals, and it is Impossible to deny it to
them niu cb longer.
OBITUARY.
Gillian (J. Verplanck.
The death of Hon. Gullan C. Verplanck, a well
known author and politician, Is announced aa having
taken place yesterday evening in New York city.
Mr. Verplanck was born In that city in August, lT8t,
and was consequently in his eighty-fourth year at
the time of bis decease. He entered on his collegiate
studies In Columbia College when he was bat twelve
years old, and graduated In IS 01. He then studied
law for the sake of study only, and was admlttid to
the bar, after which he travelled in Europe for
several years. On his return he Interested Mm
self In political matters, and In 1814 was
a candidate of the "malcontents" for the
New York Legislature. In 1818 he delivered
a course of lectures on the "Early European Friends
of America" before the New York Historical Society,
which excited considerable attention. They were
published, and ran through several editions. In
1819, during the political contest between the "liuck
talls" and "Cllntonians," he published various poli
tical satires, alined at PeWItt Clinton, one of the
candidates. In 1820 he was elected to the Legisla
ture, where he was appointed Chairman of tho Com
mittee on Education. He soon after accepted the
Professorship of the Evidences of Christianity in the
Theological Seminary of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in New York city, and published a work con
taining the result of his researches In that branch of
Study In 1824. It was styled "Essays on tho Nature
and Uses of the Various Evidences of Kevealed lte
llgion." Ho published his well-known work on
Contracts" In lsas. In tho same year he was
elected to Congress, and served for eight years In
that capacity. While a member of taut body, ho
was Instrumental, with others, lu procuring the ex
tension of tho term of copyright Irom tweuty-eitht

He published various literary works about this
time. In connection with W. C. Bryant audit O.
8ands he published for three years the "Talisman,"
a collection of prose and verse. He was the author
of several valuable addresses delivered at college
commencements and on other public occasions.
An edition or Shakespeare published In uunibtjrs,
with revised text and with notes, was edited by him.
This work was completed lu the course of three years.
Since being a member of Congress, he has several
times been elected to the State buiiate. Mr. Vcr
pinnck, while in this capacity, took great Interest in
Judicial questions which came to his notice, in con
nection with the Judical powers of that body. The
New York Senate, with the Judges of the higher
court, was at that time the court for the correction
of errors, or tho court of appeal in last resort from
the Supreme Court and Chancery. Ills opinions on
various Important questions are preserved In the
New York reports. Since tho organization of the
Board of Commissioners of Emigration, in 1810, he
baa been its President, and for fifteen years pre
pared all the annual reports. He was also one of
the governors of the New York Hospital. Of lute
