TI1E DAILY EVENING TELEORA FIT PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 1876. .PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON (SUNDAYS BXCKrTKD), AT THE EVENINO TELEQRAPn BUILDING, No. 108 8. THIRD STREET, PHILADELPHIA. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 1870. Cf The Evening Telegraph, 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, Evening Post, Commercial Advertiser, and Evening Ex press. The success which has attended our enterprise is, in itself, a sufficient evi dence of the freshness, fullness, and relia bility o( the news which we have received from this source. We have now entered into a special contract by which The Evening Telegraph has the exclusive tise of the news furnished in the afternoon by the Associated Tress to its own mem bers, . the North American, Inquirer, Ledger,Press, Age and German Democrat, of this city, and the leading journals of the East, North, West and South ; and hereafter The Telegraph will be the only evening f after published in this city in which the afternoon despatches of the Associated Tress will appear. TJZE PUBLIC? BUILDINGS INDE PENDENCE SQUARE. Thr State Senate yesterday, by a vote of 23 ayes to 1 nay, passed the House bill to autho rize tho people of Philadelphia to fix upon a site for the public buildingi in Ootober next, but with a proviso that Independence Square shall not be voted for. The Senate also passed, by a vote of 20 ayes to 3 nays, the House bill prohibiting the erection of the publio buildings in Independence Square. There will undoubtedly be a great pressure brought to bear upon the Governor by pro perty holders in the neighborhood of Inde pendence Square to induce him to withhold bis signature from these bills, but it is sin cerely to be hoped that be will have the firm ness and courage to do his obvious duty in the matter by giving his assent forthwith, and thereby extend to Independence Square all the protection that can be afforded by the laws of the State. We have hitherto advocated the plan proposed for submitting this whole matter to a vote of the citizens of Philadelphia, confi dent that a very large majority would be found opposed in a most decided manner to the desecration of the square and Indepen dence Hall by having them obstructed and overshadowed by a mass of new and showy buildings, especially as there is at least one place hotter adapted in every way for the purposes of the city. We are, however, much better satisfied with the action of the Legislature in removing Independence Square altogether out of the field of controversy. The people of Philadelphia are not the only ones who have a right to be consulted en this subject, and it might happen that there would be enough voters in October next who would be unable to appreciate the im portance, from a purely patriotic standpoint, of the question submitted for their action, to sanotion the contemplated incumbrance of Independence Square, in Bpite of all the argu ments that could be urged against it. We do not think any such result would ensue within the range of ordinary probabilities, but for the sake of the argument we may presume it to be possible. The question therefore ought not to be left entirely to the decision of the people of Philadelphia. Independence Hall is a national edifice and Independence Square is national ground. Not merely Philadel phians but the people of the State of Penn sylvania and the whole United States are interested in preserving such a monu ment as - Independence Hall inviolable, and the erection of the proposed pile of pub lic buildings upon the square would be an outrage upon the whole American people that would deservedly disgrace Philadelphia. If there were no other available spot upon which to locate the municipal buildings that we undoubtedly so badly need, there might be a shadow of an excuse for the appropriation of this sacred ground. But in the four squares at the intersection of Broad and Market streets we have more than enough ground for all our requirements ground, too, that from the very foundation of the city was set apart for this very purpose. This location is rapidly beooming the business centre of the city, and with the four squares thrown into one, and a broad roadway around them, Philadelphia will have a site for her public buildings that will be iuipasing, appropriate, and in all respects unsurpassed by any other city in the United States. The whole opposition to the projeot for the location of the municipal building at Penn Square comes from property owner in the neighborhood of Independence Square. It is well for the Governor to consider that all the newspapers that bave been advocating in season and out of aeuon the Independence Square project have their offices in that vi cinity, while The Kvksino Ttucon.vrH and the other journals located about Third btreot, and removed from both the rival sites, have earnestly protested against the proposed desecration. We are able to decide in this matter impartially and disinterestedly, and we claim that our opinions are entitled to greater weight than those of our contempo raries who cannot conoeal their anxiety to accomplish a personal advantage. Independently of every other considers- lion, it should be borne in mind that Inde pendeooe Square is too small to aooommo date a structure of the neoessary size, so as Jo give, a proper effect (9 iU architectural I decorations, and it only requires a glauoe at i ttie design adopted by the commission to see how utterly absurd will be the appearance of Indepondenoe Hall when surrounded on all sides by a large marble or granite structure, with its ornate oornioes, pillars, pilastors, and fanciful Mansard roof. Scarcely less objootionable than the Independence-Square project is the idoa of ap propriating Washington Square. Mr. Samuel Josephs a few days ago introduced a bill in the House for the appointment of a commis sion to erect the public buildings on this spot. It should be remembered that Wash ington Square was set apart, with three others, as a publio park forever, and neithor the Leg islature nor the city has any right to use it for any purpose, unless under the pressure of a great and overpowering necessity. Such a necessity does not exist; and with tho Penn Squares at our disposal it is scarooly worth while to consider any other proposition for a site, and the committee to which Mr. Josephs' bill was referred will do well to quietly drop it into their waste basket. WEEPING AND WAILING. The ways of the New .York Democracy are mysterious, but they are not altogether past finding out. At the last election, they ob tained complete control of the State Govern ment, adding both branches of the Legisla ture to the departments already seonred. Then came a grand outcry from the slums of the "bloody Sixth" ward of New York city against the Albany commissions which for some years past have given the city the only semblance of decent government which it has enjoyed. The sachems of Tammany Hall took the lead in the raid against them, and promised the rough and ready element standing at their back that self-government should be restored to New York, which meant simply that the Metropolitan polioe system and every other creature of the preceding Re publican Legislatures should be upset and Tammany Hall installed in their places. A ponderous bill was prepared whioh at one stroke obliterated all traces of the commis sion system, and placod the people of the city, bound hand and foot, in the power of Peter B. Sweeney and his "ring." But there was rebellion in the camp, and the World be came the organ of the insurgents. It was shown by that journal that the proposed new city charter was simply an iniquitous con spiracy of the Sweeney "ring" against the taxpayers, and its iniquity was so glaring that, aided by the Republican members of the Legislature, the country Democrats nipped the conspiracy in the bud. Then a so-called compromise was patched up between the factions of the party, and still another draft of a charter, somewhat more temperate in its retrogressive "reforms," was the fruit of the truce. This, it was confidently be lieved, would triumphantly pass the ordeal of country ' disaffection, and Tammany Hall would still secure a fair measure of the spoils. But "monstrous treachery" again reared its head in the oamp, and Sweeney has taken up the lamentation of "Gloucester:" Can this be so; That In alliance, amity, and oaths There should be round such false, dissembling guile?" In the Assembly, yesterday afternoon, the country Democrats again joined hands with the Republicans, and the "compromise" city charter shared the fate of its forerunner, the bill for the reorganization of the Metropoli tan police force being killed by the same blow which knocked in the head the other. The New York city Democracy are of course in a pitiable state. Tammany Hall is in a quandary, and its sachems know not whioh way to turn, nor whom to trust. The proba bilities are that the Albany commissions will remain undisturbed for another year, and the chances are that, if this should be so, the Republicans will regain the control at the next election of at least one branch of the Legislature, and rescue permanently the tax paying and law-abiding oitizens of the metro polis from the threatened reign and ruin of Tammany Hall. TUE PROPOSED NEW TERRITORIAL ACQUISITIONS. A DEsrATCH from Washington states that the Senate Foreign Committee have agreed to report against the ratification of the St. Thomas and Samana Bay treaties; and the disposition thus evinced to prevent the nation from being entangled in any new land specu lations will be cordially commended by the American people. The existing pressure of debt and taxation should never be lost sight of for a moment, and instead of seeking additional ways to spend the publio money, the Executive as well as the legislative branches of the Government should ever be mindful of the paramount necessity of saving every dollar tnat can do saved, 'mere is a fearful contrast between the old land purchases of the nation which, by their cheapness and utility, nave become popu lar, and the speculative operations of modern administrations. Jefferson gave only three millions of dollars for the Louisiana purchase, which included Hundreds ot millions or acres of the most fertile land in the world, and whioh was worth, intrinHioally, a thousand bleak Alaskas, or ten thousand little spaoks like St. , Thomas. For California and the contiguous territories only a few millions were paid, and after yielding a gold produot fifty times as great as its cost, it is now one of the most productive agricultural States of the Union, and its chief city is one of the most important of American ports. There were reason and profit in these transactions We obtained a great deal of extremely valua ble land, encumbered with but a small number of intractable inhabitants, for a very moderate sum, and the statesmen who conducted such negotiations will be de servedly honored for making suoh good bar gains for the American people. Their modern imitators, however, are distinguished mainly for the magnitude of the sums they propose to pay for comparatively or totally worthless territory. The first great fraud perpetrated was in the Gadsden purchase, by whioh about tea millions were paid for a strip of the most barren, worthless, and totally usoless aggre gate of rocks and deserts on the face of the globe. The Alaska purchase was but one degree less inlquitously extravagant. The St. Thomas treaty, by whioh the nation- was pledged to pay ten millions for , a little rock in mid-ocean that is liable at any mo ment to be submerged by a volcanlo convul sion or a tidal wave, was another gross out rage on American taxpayers. And now we have the Samana Bay treaty, by which the nation agrees to pay $150,000 in gold per annum, or the interest of $2,f00,000, for fifty years, for the use of a West Indian harbor and coaling station. There may be a plausible naval excuse for this expenditure, and a pro bability that in certain contingencies it would be worth the money. But if we have been able to manage the navy in time of war with out this bay, we think it quite possible that its use may be dispensed with for at least a few years longer, in time of peaoe. The period has gone by when national greatness is either measured by or dependent upon the extent or the Btrategio value of foreign possessions. Great Britain has held Gibraltar for centuries, but if she had spent the money involved in holding it in the edu cation of millions of her subjects who have been suffered to grow up in ignorance for want of appropriations to her publio school, she would be stronger to-day even in a mili tary point of view than a hundred Gibroltars could make her. The time must come when all the West India islands that we can profita bly use will be ours on our own terms, and without any material increase of the public burdens. No vital interest requires us now to hasten that period, and we have at home an abundant field for the exercise of all our energies, and for the expenditure of every dollar of publio money that can be spared. We are glad that the spirit of eoonomy is exercising an influence over the deliberations of the Senate, and we hope that that body will sustain the action of its Committee on Foreign Affairs. The Income Tax Aoain. There is no use in temporising with the inoome tax, or attempt ing to remedy this and that of the thousand and one absurd decisions of Commissioner Delano by a fresh act of Congress. The tax is arbitrary, oppressive, and inquisitorial to the last degree. It was submitted to only as a war measure, and the faith of the Govern ment is piedged that it shall continue until the year 1870, "and iu longer." Tho returns made in 1870 are to be the last, according to the law. The oppressive features of the law are such that they cannot be remedied, and the only remedy is to let the law expire. It has been submitted to under the belief and pledge that it should cease in 1870. That time has come, and the people will hold their representatives in Congress to a strict ao count if they undertake to fasten this out rage upon them anew. This is the sentiment of the people without distinction of party. We are much gratified to learn that the Hon. Alexander G. Cattell, who has been kept out of his seat in the Senate for some time past by severe indisposition, has so far recovered his health as to be able to make his appearance again upon the floor of that body. The Washington Chronicle of yesterday morning refers to the occasion in the following appropriate terms: "The return of the Hon. A. J. Cattell to his poHt in the Senate yesterday was the signal for general congratulations on all sides of the Chamber. Few men have a greater hold upon the respect and es teem of his associates than the Senator from New Jersey, and his recent illness has been a source of deep regret, ins appearance, tnererore, with Health partially restored, Is a proper matter of congratula tion from his colleagues, his constituents, and the country at large. Never were his sound judgment, vigorous miuu, ana unquestioned loyalty more needed In the councils of the country." The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, which has been cut off from receiving the news of the Associated Press, and suffers accordingly in its contents and circulation, pronounces the said news very sour grapes indeed, yet republishes the same the day after all its readers had sucked the pulp of the same in The Evening Teleoeaph, which is going up as the Bulletin is going down. Editorial from the Y. T. World of this morning. Professor Blackie delivered a lecture at the Philosophical Institution at Edinburgh recently. Tho subject was "Aristotle; Politics; education among the Athenians." "If Aristotle were to ap pear," the Professor remarked, "I would say to Ulm, 'Mr. Aristotle, what Is your opinion of the present political state of America and Great Britain'." "As regards America, Professor IMackle has no doubt Aristotle would say that the phase of democracy ex hibited In New York was the worst possible form or government, and that an absolute despotism would be In many respects far better. As regards England, Aristotle would express great satisfaction with the present constitution of the country, as we now had It after the passing of the two last Reform bills In deed, the Professor Btated that Aristotle's satisfac tion would be entire If he could Bee any guarantee for the permanency of the Constitution, and that the Just balance now existing between the different parties would not be dentroyed. In the principles laid down by and carried out by the last Reform bill Aristotle would, however, see flagrant injustice, and the germs of a very perilous democracy he would say that the bill legitimated numerical quality alone, and gave none, or the very smallest possible recog. tlon, to the other social potencies, such as property, intelligence, experience, character, station ; that it was quits right to give representation to the labor ing classes, but quite wrong to give no representa tion to Intelligence and virtue when tney happened to be, as they often were, in a noble minority. Aris. totle, he thought, would also see a serious element of danger in the unequal distribution of property, and in the contrasts between the few rich and the many poor, as well as In the growth or luxury and the worship or mammon. The rail Mall Gazette in discussing the lecture says : "Professor 111 uo tie did not inform his audience what Aristotle would think of the St, Pancras guardians, of Tlpperary and Kick hum, and the cab regulations nor of Professor Blackie himself and his lecture; but he said quite enough to prove that Aristotle would bare run the Duke of Ulchmond a close race for the conservative leadership in the House of Lords." In thb Tarls Demoeratie of February 18 is a list of the penny subscriptions being collected in the pro. vinces for the purposes of ereptlng a monument to victor Nolr. This list, called "Souscnption Kepub llcalBe," li made up of the following curious entries inter alia: A. young Republican lady who commise rates the misfortune of Mdlle. Aubenas (the fiancee of the luckless Journalist), fifty centimes ; a Phalan sterlan or Fournterlst, twenty centimes; five detenu polituiues, a martyr of liberty and his workmen, one franc ; an enemy of the Chassepot, a new Radical Republican widow, give ten centimes eaoh. A young lady "who loves Bohemia and the life thereof" Joins a (lor.cn friends in the common subscrlntlon ef one franc: a freethinker, a socialist, and a friend of democracy, giro csoh ten centimes. A M'me Leon, who is a lemonade retailer and a friend of Justice, gives five francs; an honest man and an enemy of . irsarism in general and of Bonapartlsm In particu lar, give each twenty-Ave centimes. An enemy of the talotu (skull-cap worn by Catholic priests), a Ited Republican, and a young lady friend of Victor Nolr, send In moderate subscription. And so the list goes on the sum total stsndlng at 38 franc. A queerer subscription list never came under our eyes; and, even with the fair knowledge of the various socialist denominations, it Is dlftloult to make out all the saints by which these outspoken . donors swear. Some ol the entries are wholly untranslatable, and the whole thing suggests the oddest mixture of demccrattc passions and Behemlan friendships, slang, and socialism. Tni Cologne GazHt says that the prayer-books and hymn-books translated Into Russian, and pub lished at the expense of the Russian Government rortneuse of Protestants and Catholics, contain important falsifications which have been Introduced by the official translators with the object of bring ing both these denominations as near as may be to the Russian orthodox faith. Passages which treat of those doctrines in which Protestantism and Catholicism differ from the orthodox faith are altered In such a manner as to prove on the con trary that Mere Is no appreciable difference betweeu the three persuasions. In the Lutheran Church at Moscow, whose pastor, Moslng, has for some time conducted the service in Russian, a new Russian psalter has been Introduced Instead of Luther's translation of the Psalms, which bears the title of A Present for Orthodox Christians.' These falsia cations are severely blamed by many, and described as a manoeuvre which must greatly disgust both Protestants and Catholics.
