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.
