AT THE EVENING TELEGRAPH BUILDIXQ,
No. 108 8. THIRD STREET,
FIIILADELFIIIA.
FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1870.
tF The Evening Tki.kc.rph, from
its origin.-vl establishment, has been in the
receipt of telegraphic news from the New
York Associated Tress, which consists of
the Tribune, Times, Herald, World,
Sun, 'Journal of Commerce, Evening Tost,
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 of 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
use of the news furnished in the afternoon
by the Associated Press to its own meni
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
paper published in this city in which the
afternoon despatches of the Associated
Press will appear.
NEWSPAPERS WITHOUT NEWS.
The Evening Bulletin reminds us of the fox
in the fable whioh, after losing his tail, en
deavored to convinoe hia brethren and the
world in general that tails were a useless and
dangerous incumbrance. Its eloquence in
depioting the disadvantages of such append
ages finds a fitting counterpart in the at
tempts of the Bulletin to prove that reliable
news is not essential to a modern newspaper.
The Bulletin alleges that it has "found com
fort in the saving of a handsome sum" which
It formerly paid weekly to obtain intelligence
from the source which supplies every in
fluential and important journal in the United
States; and if its readers rest content
with a stinted supply of news,
we will be ready to acknowledge
the force of this branch of the short-tail ar
gument. Until that fact is clearly proven,
however, we will not be convinced either by
the blandishments or the abuse of the Bulletin
that superior facilities for procuring and
promptly furnishing a faithful record of the
current events of this stirring age should be
hastily exohanged for imperfect arrangements.
'While the Bu Ictin has been saving "a hand
some sum" weekly in its expenditure for
news, we have nearly doubled our .outlay for
this purpose, and thereby acquired the ex
clusive right to publish afternoon editions of
the despatches furnished by the Associated
Press, and we have "found comfort" in
the prompt and generous appreciation
of the superiority of our telegraphic
intelligence by the public. The Bul
letin is welcome to all the satisfaction it
can derive from its savings, and we shall not
envy it if it continues its reduntions of ex
penditures for news until it virtually ignores
all the facilities which the telegraph affords
to modern journalism. It may follow its
descent from the Associated Press to the
American Press Association by sinking into
still lower depths, without inspiring us with
the slightest desire to follow its example, for
we intend to adhere stubbornly to the convic
tion that short-tails are not a good newspaper
fashion. Our amiable and ingenious contem
porary has nourished the hope that the news
association with which it is now connected
would be reinforced in its opera
tions in this city by the assis
tance of "the new morning paper which Mr.
Swain, son of the founder of the Ledger, is
about to publish." But that gentleman seta
too high a value on abundant and correct in
telligence to jeopardize his new enterprise by
an alliance with the Bulletin and its asso
ciates. He has applied for and gained admis
sion by unanimous oonsent to the old-established
Associated Press, of Philadelphia,
thereby showing that the Associated Press is
not the unpopular monopoly that they are
endeavoring to impress the public that
it is; thus making stronger than
ever the organization which furnishes
the regular despatches published in Thb
Evenino Telegraph, and destroying the main
reliance of the American Press Association,
in this city, for future efficiency. The Bulletin
has invented the fanciful theory that the
Associated Press is "terribly frightened."
Will it be good enough, when it corrects its
misstatement about Mr. Swain's new paper,
to explain the sensations awakened among
its associates by the arrangements made for
supplying telegraphio despatches to that
journal ?
THE INCOME TAX.
Thebh is a very serious doubt whether any
United States income tax is constitutional,
for the Constitution, in Artiole I, Section 9,
and fourth paragraph, says: "No capitation
or other direct tax shall be kid, unless in pro
portion to the census or enumeration herein
before directed to be taken." What is the
"enumeration heroinbefore directed to be
taken?" The answer is found in the third
paragraph of section 2 of the same article,
viz.: "Representatives and direct taxes shall
be apportioned among the several States
which may be included witbin this Union,
.according to their respective numbers, which
shall be determinedby adding" persons and
not dollars.
We think all will concede that our "income
tax" is a very "direct tax." It is a tax, for
the law names it such; it is a direot tax, for
the law goes straight for every person who
has a certain number of dollars income dur
ing each year. Aud one must swear
"directly" to many "direct" questio n, not
nbont numbers of persons in his State, but
about the number of dollars of income whioh
have oomo directly into his hands each yer.
All this is not "in proportion to the oensus
or enumeration heroinbofore directed to bo
taken, of the number of persons in any 8Ute
of this Union," but, on the contrary, this law
asks for dollars of a man, not as a person,
but hocause he has had more than a certain
number of dollars in one year.
We hope Hincorely that our lawmakers will
agree to abolish this tax forthwith upon con
stitutional if upon no other grounds. It has
been submitted to piticntly, without any
serious inquiry into its oharacter, beoause it
was believed to be a nooessity growing out of
an extraordinary oooasion. That oooasion
no longer exists, and the law is rightly oon
Bidered to be unjust, oppressive, and inquwi
torial. There is no reason whatever why it
should be longer continued, and those mem
bers of Congress who exert themselves most
zealously to have it done away with without
further delay will be most certain of gaining
the favor of their constituents and in securing
further favors from them.
TnE ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS.
The last spring exhibition of the Pennsyl
vania Academy of Fine Arts was most unsatis
factory to all parties concerned in it. It was
the worst display that had been seen upon the
walls of tho institution for years, and it was
particularly romarkable for the absence of
works by Philadelphia artists. In other words,
the exhibition was a disgraceful failure, both
from an artistic and a peouniary point of
view; but it served one good purpose at least
in giving a praotioal demonstration of the
radical defects of the present system of man
agement, and in eliciting a decided expression
of publio opinion. The adverse criticisms
that were bestowed upon the Academy and
its managers created a healthy exoitement,
the effects of which have been visible during
the past year in the efforts that have been
made to increase the faoihties of the schools
and to correct some of the most glaring de
fects that for many years past have been
bringing the institution into disrepute. This
leads us to hope that, in course of time, tho
directors of the Academy will be able to Bee
what its real deficiencies are, and that they
will be impressed with a desire to make it a
gennine art school that will be a credit to
Philadelphia and the country, and that will be
the means of promoting the art-culture of the
country in a manner that it never yet has
done.
One of the effects of the failure of last year
has been a determination not to hold any ex
hibition this spring as usual. No official an
nouncement of this determination has yet
been made, it is stated definitely by the
directors in private; and it may be aooepted
as a settled thing that the old ladies who
never go to any other "show," and who
consequently look forward to the spring ex
hibition of the Academy during ten months
of the year with anxiety and impatience, will
be disappointed. The reason given for this
failure of the Academy to come to time as
usual is a very strange one, apparently. The
directors complain that they have no piotures
available, and that it is not worth while to
attempt an exhibition, and to run the risk of
making a worse display than that of last
year. This reason is strange, from the fact
that the artists of Philadelphia have been
working as steadily as usual this winter,
and the number of works produced will pro
bably come up to the usual average both as
regards quality and quantity. And yet the
institution that professes to be the especial
representative of Philadelphia art has not the
power of collecting their performances and
arranging them so that the publio may know
what progress our artists are making ! There
is certainly something radically wrong when
such a condition of affairs is brought about;
but the directors of the Academy show wis
dom when they decline to bring upon them
selves additional odium by getting up an ex-
hibiton that would be chiefly remarkable for
theabEenoe of meritorious works of Phila
delphia artists.
That there are pictures enough to mike an
exhibition is certain, and Mr. E J ward Moran,
whose difficulty with the Academy is a matter
of some notoriety, is about to place on exhi
bition at Earles' no less than eleven works, so
that the publio of this city may have an op
portunity to see them previous to their being
shipped to New York to adorn the walls of the
National Academy of Design in that city.
Other artists will nndoubtedly follow Mr.
Moran's example, and unless the Pennsylva
nia Academy makes more speedy efforts to
regain its lost ground and to obtain and main
tain a position such as the times demand, it
had better shut its doors and cease operations
entirely. As it is now carried on it stands a
confessed failure.
The Tbeasujjt Depabtment has had a
table prepared which proves that the entire
national debt would be oaneelled in twenty
three and a half years by a sinking fund
capital of $25,000,000 per annum, while a
capital of $1)0,000,000 psr annum which is
about the present rate of liquidation, would
extinguish the entire debt in five years. No
stronger argument in favor of a great reduc
tion of taxation could be framed, If the
existing generation, after suffering all the
miseries of the war, effeots a material reduc
in the publio debt before it passes from the
stage of action, this will be all that posterity
can in justice reanire. But as matters
A
are now progressing, the same men who
crushed the Rebellion on ensanguined fields,
and the same people who mourn the loss of
kindred and the desolation of their homes,
will be compelled to defray the entire peon
niary cost of the conflict, and to submit to
the most onerous taxation that human Inge
nuity ever devised. Twenty-five millions per
annum may be easily spared as a .sinking
fund, but it would be cruel and unjust for
Congress to ask for more after the national
credit is fully restored. High taxes are de
pressing every American interest at this mo
ment, and every inoh of this pressure that
can bo safely taken off ulioulJ be removal at
the earliest possible moment.
Rolenor fou thb People. At the Actleuiy
of Music List evening, Profos4r It 'iert E.
Rogers, of the University of Pennsylvania,
delivered a leoture on "Chemical Forces"
which proved to be one of the most enter
taining and instructive that has ever been
listened to in this city. The graud m isquera le
of the elements was uiirshulled before the
audionoe in a way that was at once amusing
and startling. Heat was made to produce
cold, and cold heat; liquids were trans
formed into solids, gases iuto liquids, and then
into solids; quicksilver, whioh freezes at a tem
perature of forty degrees below zero, was
solidified almost instantaneously by the
pound; and various other experiments, com
plicated in their details but simple in thoir
results, were conducted on a scale that ena
bled every person in the spacious building
to appreciate them to the f ullOHt extent. Per
haps the most noticeable of all the experi
ments were those connected with the artificial
manufacture of ice, the entire practicability
of which was demonstrated so clearly that the
mere remembrance of tho oooasion will be re
freshing in the coming summer heat. Suoh a
lecture as that delivered by Profesaor Rogers
last evening is worth as much as a half dozen
of the ordinary class, as a means of educat
ing the masses and inspiring them with de
votion to the cause of science; and the more
we have the better. We trust that Professor
Rogers will be induced either to repeat the
lecture of last evening, or, what would per
haps be still better, to give a continuation of
it, so that the experiments which he was pre
pared to make last evening, but was pre
vented from doing by the luteaess of
the hour, may not be lost to
the public. The success which has at
tended the lectures given at the Aoademy by
Professor Henry Morton, as well as by Pro
fessor Rogers, has been so decided that we
have no doubt a regular course devoted ex
clusively to experimental science would draw
as large houses as are attracted by tho trashy
sensational plays of the period. We com
mend the scheme to the projector of the re
markably successful "Star" course which is
about closing.
The State House of Representatives yes
terday did a good stroke of business in the
matter of distribution of Bates' "History of
the Pennsylvania Voluuteera." Tho bid
authorizing the completion of this work, and
providing for its distribution by the Superin
tendent of the Publio . Schools among the
libraries of the Common School districts, was
considered, and a substitute offered by Mr.
White, distributing the books among the
Senators, members, and Clerks of thU and
the next Legislature, tho cost of the book not
to exceed five dollars per volume, and each
set to contain five volumes, the Senators to
receive twenty sets each. This substi
tute was carried by CI ayes to 20 noes. In
comparison with some of the other iniquities
perpetrated by the Legislature, this particular
swindle is of comparatively little moment,
but it is an excellent example of the utter
reoklessness with which the public money is
wasted at Harrisburg.
The preparation of this history was a job
for the especial benefit of Bates, and, if the
State has to pay for the work any how, the
distribution of the books among the members
of the Legislature is probably the best thing
that can be done with them. It is barely
possible that some of our noble Senators aud
Representatives may read this work when
they find themselves in possession of one hun
dred copies, and as it is tolerably certain that
nobody else will, it is gratifying to think that
the labor of the author may not be altogutber
thrown away. If Bates has done his work
properly, our legislators may, by perusing the
stories of the noble deeds of our volunteers,
learn some lessons of virtue that they sadly
need.
An African President. We publish to
day the inaugural address of Edward Juuns
Roye, the fifth President of the Republio of
Liberia, in West Afrioa. It was delivered
before the National Legislature in joint con
vention at Monrovia, on the 3d of Janu try
last. We have been favored with a copy
printed at the "Government Printing Office."
The message treats of finanoo, labor, rail
roads, national bank, general education, im
migration, the native tribes, and the future
of Liberia. As republicans we rejoice in the
suocess of the African republio. As friends
of the African race we rejoice to see a nation
growing in power which bids fair to do a work
in Africa similar to the work of the Anglo
Saxon in Amerioa. As Boon as the ratifica
tion of the fifteenth amendment is promul
gated, our fellow-oitizens of Afrioan descent
will take a deeper interest in the land of their
fathers. The benevolent men who founded
Liberia, by aiding those who desired to re
turn to their fatherland, may well rejoice in
the great good already accomplished, and oan
anticipate still richer and larger success in tho
years to come.
Pokbhan on Subkioan. General Sherman has
written a reply to the letter of Llentenant-Qeneral
Sheridan, referring to the attack on tho Piegans and
our Indian affairs generally, which we published
yesterday. It will be seen that General Sherman
sustains bhertdan and the ofllcera under his com
mand without reserve, while he deprecates the
severe criticisms that have been bestowed upon
tbem on account of the affair with the Piegans.
General Sherman Is fully conversant with the (tlitl
calUes of the Indian situation and hi views are
entitled to respectful consideration. The letter to
Sheridan Is as follows:

That procreat ire "family of color," the anilines
has begotten us another beautiful member, whose
complexion shlnas with a goldon hue. We shall
soon derive all thb tints of the chromatic scale from
the coal, tar extract. The new offspring has been
christened rnuvine by its discoverer, M. Knosp. It
promises to give to silken, cotton, and woollen
fabrics all shades of yellow, from bright orange to
bright brown. We aro not told bow It was brought
to light; whether by intention or accident, like some
other members of Its family. That splendid green
that dressmakers and their patrons know as "gas
greon"was stumbled upon by a lucky fluke. A
certain dyor, Chlrpln by name, was trying te turn to
practical account a- blue aniline compound that
baffled all attempts to render it fast. It was a One
color, but there was no fixing it Chlrpln tried all
he could think of, without success. One day he told
his troubles to a friend, who was a photographer;
and this worthy, without any knowledge ol dyeing or
chemistry, suggested that as he, to "fix" his pic
tures, used hyposulphite or soda, this same salt
might Ox the blue dye. Tho suggestion was made
from blind faith in the power of his fixer to make
everything lasting. Woll, without a hope of success,
Chlrpln made a trial of It. Imagine his astonish
ment at seeing hia fleeting blue change under the
soda salt's influence to a gorgeous green. And the
best of it wag that the new color was a fast one, at
least as fast as any of the aniline family, for they are
not a very stable lor. So, ye ladles, who shine in
aldehyde, give your thanks to the unwise but faithful
photographer.
Thk Dailp Topic is the title of a new Journal whloTi
has made Its appearance at Harrisburg. It is under
the management of Dr. J. n. Glhon, recently Pri
vate Secretary to Governor Geary. Dr. Qlhon has
had considerable experience in the newspaper busi
ness In this city and elsewhere, and is fitted to con
duct a journal in a way that will render it attractive
to the people. There la abundant room at the 8tate
Capital for a new Republican dally paper, and we
trust that the Topic will prove a suocess.
