FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1870.
11T 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 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 mem
bers, the North American, Inquirer,
Ledger, Tress, 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
fapcr published in this city in which the
nfternoon despatches of the Associated
Press will appear.
TEE LEGAL- TENDER DECISION.
The motion for a reconsideration of the ques
tion of the constitutionality of the Legal
tender act was argued before the Supreme
Court yesterday by Attorney-General Hoar
on the part of the United States, and by Mr.
Carlisle on behalf of the clients whose inte
rests were favored by the late decision. Very
cogent reasons were advanced for this recon
sideration, and more especially for an explicit
expression of the opinion of the Court on a
point of vital importance' which was decided
rather by implication than in a direct man
ner. There is great foroe in the assertion of
Mr. Hoar that the constitutionality of the
Legal-tender act had been previously affirmed
by every State Court except one, and
that one was Kentucky! If that treason
tainted State is to interpret modern legisla
tion, every important national law will
Speedily be set aside, and it is extremely
doubtful whether the validity of the consti
tutional amendments can be maintained. The
Attorney-General also directs attention to the
f aot that the late decision was made by a vote
of four to three, or a majority of one, at a time
when there were two vacancies on the bench,
and he intimates that at least one of the
judges acting with the majority had pre
viously entertained different opinions, so that,
in the language of Mr. Hoar, "on the differ
ing opinions, at different times of his life, of
a single man, the whole constitutional power
of Congress and the execution in a time of
the direst national necessity, after this long
popular acquiescence and the decisions of
State tribunals, was forever to be
subverted and set aside and
expunged from the practical powers
of this nation." The soope of the late deoi
- sion is thus stated by the Attorney-General:
The Court has "not decided that this Legal
tender act did not, as a matter of construc
tion, apply to contracts made before the pas
sage of the act," but the Court has "decided
that it was not within the constitutional
power of Congress to insert that provision,
making treasury notes a legal tender for pri
vate debts, previously contracted, in the
Statute." This distinction may belong to the
class of hair-splitting differences which law
yers delight to discuss, but it nevertheless
affords good ground for an application to a
fallbenoh of nine judges for its consideration
of the question whether it is disposed to carry
out, to all its logical consequences, the deci
sion rendered by a bench of seven judges,
From time immemorial the law has been full
of glorious uncertainties, and on doubtful
points no man can tell what the final con
struction of a statute may be until those who
possess the privilege of making the last guess
nave rendered irrevocable judgment.
The most important practical question
raised by the decision is, whether the interest
on unpaid loans contracted before 1862
should be paid in gold or greenbacks. We
understand that several of the leading corpo
rations of this city whose instalments of
interest fall due to-day intend to pay interest,
as heretofore, in legal tenders, but that they
will accompany this payment with an agree
xnent to advance hereafter the difference be
ween ine current value or coin and cur
noy if the Supreme Court insists that suoh
payments must be maAe. The fact that this
ctue is adopted afford in itself a good rea
son f r the request of th Attorney-General
that tlfl late decision shall be reviewed, so
that if he principle it affim9 to sustained
the exisfng doubts about its practical appli
cation imy be cleared up, and if, o. fae other
band, th& principle is overruled. oil the
business of the country may, in the sence

The comhadk of the late General George
II. Thomas residing in Philadelphia, and a
number of prominent citizens, have issued a
call for all our miliUry and other organiza
tions and individual citizens, without distinc
tion of party, to join in a memorial meeting
to be held at the Aoademy of Musio on the
4th instant, when addresses suitable to the
o session will bo delivered by prominent citi
zens and soldiers, and proper resolutions of
rrmpect for the memory of the deoeased will
be offered. There ought to be a hearty re
sponse to this call, for nowhere in the ooun
try was General Thomas held in higher esteem
than in Philadelphia, and it is eminently proper
that there should be some publio expression
of the respect in which his memory is hold.
DISGRACEFUL.
TiiorsANns of the citizens of Thiladolphia
who take a pride in the Academy of Musio as
one of the noLlest theatres in existence, and
who sometimes regret the base uses to which
it is put, will hear with mingled astonishment
and dingust that the Board of Directors have
refused the building to Mr. T. B. Pugh for
the purpose of introducing to the publio of
this city Senator Bevels, of Mississippi, in
the capacity of a lecturer. The Bole reason
assigned for this action of the board was
"inexpediency," which means, in plain terms,
that the barbarous spirit of ostracism against
the colored race that has just been crushed
out of our politics by the fifteenth amend
ment still rules the Board of Directors of the
Academy of Music. The building was re
fused to Mr. Tugh simply because
the gentleman whom he desired the people of
Philadelphia should have an opportunity to
hear speak is a negro. The directors have
repeatedly ref uried the Academy to Frederiok
Douglass, and the fact that Mr. Bevels is a
Senator of the United States, and that the
enlightened spirit of the age has abolished
from the Constitution of the United States
the discriminations against the race that he
represents, are matters of ne moment to this
little coterie, all of whom, with one exoeption,
we regret to say, profess to be Bepublicans,
and supporters of the enlightened national
policy that has struck the fetters from the
limbs of the negro and made him a citizen
of this republic.
It is particularly discreditable that such a
disgraceful affuir as this should have occarred
in Philadelphia on the very day when the
official proclamation of the ratification of the
fifteenth amondment was made public, and
that it should have been the action
of a body of men who profess to
represent in a great measure the cultmre, re
finement, and intelligence of the city. If the
directors of the Academy in times past had
shown themselves in the slightest degree fas
tidious with regard to the character of the
exhibitions given on their stage, there might
be some shadow of excuse for them in this
instance. But, as every one knows, they let
the building for shows of every description;
and a stage upon which have been exhibited
the flip-flaps of acrobats, the legs of the
Llack Ciook ballet girls, the obscenities of
Genevieve de Urabant and La Vie l'arisienne,
and numerous other performances of like
character, can scarcely be contaminated by the
tread of a Senator of the United States, even
if he does happen to be a negro.
The following are the names of the Direc
tors of the Academy of Music:
President,
James 0. Hand.
TresiHurer and Secretary,
JAMES r AKQl'M AR.
Ferdinand J. I) it ebb,
Joun P. Striker,
gkokc1e s. j'kitkr,
Frederick (jkafp,
FAIUMAN ltOGKUS,
Thomas Sparks,
JaMKS L. Cl.AUllOKN,
Daniel Haddock, ,
William Camac, M. to.,
llKNIlY M. PulLLU'd.
Among these Henry M. Phillips, Esq., is
the only Democrat, but we are very much
pleased to state that he was among those who
were willing that Senator Revels should speak
in the Academy. Mr. Phillips, although a
Democrat, is a man of large and liberal
views, and no one will be surprised to hear
that he is superior to any such contemptible
motives as influenced the majority of
the directors in this instanoe; that
he was able to rise superior to the prejudices
of caste on this occasion which places the
Republican majority of the board in a more
unfavorable position than ever, and he doubt
less appreciates keenly the utterly ridiculous
attitude of his associates. If all Democrats
were like Mr. Phillips, the party would long
since have gained something of its old power
and prestige, especially when opposed by
weak-kneed Republicans such as the majority
of the Board of Directors of the Academy of
Musio have shown themselves to be. Mr.
Phillips has brains, and it would be a good
thing for some of the other directors if
they were similarly endowed. He knows
that the time has passed when suoh a
contemptible piece of bigotry as the ex
clusion of a gentleman and a United
States Senator from the stage of the Academy
of Musio on account of the color of his skin
can pass rebuked in this community, and we
hope that the expression of publio opinion
that has been called forth on this oocasion
will be. a lesson not only for the directors of
the Academy of Music, but for all others who
may be disposed to imitate their example
VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS VS.
CONTINUED HIGH TAXES.
The people are growing weary of this con
tinued, continual tax-paying, and of support
ing such an army of tax-gatherers, many of
them in general idleness. They are growing
more so every month. The petty and larger
politicians, an army of them, at least, are
living off of the hard earnings of the poor.
The larger politicians who keep this army of
retainers in the field appear to wish to have
as large a number to work for their own pri
vate interests as they can get, and pay them
off by giving them a living at the expense of
the publio. We would gladly be convinced
by facts that these things are not so,
There must be a change ere long.
There can be no more solid appeals to
patriotism, and loyalty, and sympathy,
What did the patriotism and sympathy of
the people here do voluntarily during the
war? Let the millions of dollars that wore
riven, freely given, for the support of the
'lilies of volunteers, for the feeding of re
Einonts of soldiers, as they were passing to
l.om the field, for the support of hospi
tals, fta sick and wounded, for soldiers'
aid soon jeBi for helping volunteer enlist
ments, f oi Sanitary Fairs, for relief of loyal
citizens in different parts of the country who
had suffered l,0m invasion and fire, for gifts
of gratitude to suooeasful or wounded and
discharged soldiers, for the support of tie
great Christian Commission, etc etc., and
all this many times repeated for three long,
dark years, let these glorious deeds give
answer.
Then the loyal people said to Congreas,
"Lay on the taxes to carry on the war until
all Rebels lay down their arms." They
brnvely carried two special taxes in one year,
and s'opped not until the "cruel war was
over," freely paying for a birthright, an heir
ship in one and the freest country on this
earth. Will not our legislators think of this,
and not at-k that same number, or nearly the
same persons, to pay all the debt besides ?
It is worso than a-sking a noble man, who has
done a wonderful day's work, to work all
night, and to keep on working, without rest,
day and night until the job is finished. Have
we no faith in the next generation? Why
auk one generation that has done so much to
do the work of two ?
FOUND AT LAST.
The individual who first nominated Genoral
Grant for the Presidency has been found, and
he has received his reward. It is with great
satisfaction that we allude to this occurrence,
for, amid such a multitude of claimants for
the honor, there was much danger that the
right person would be overlooked, and some
pretender obtain recognition of services that
he did not perform in the way of recommend
ing Grant to the notice of the American people
as the propercst person that could be found for
the Presidency. The happy man to whose
prophetic forethought we are indobted for a
President whose principal policy appears to
be to pny off the public debt as soon
as possible is Dr. Samuel Bard, of Geor
gia, who was on Wednesday confirmed by
the Senate as Governor of Idaho, in place
of Governor Ballard, whoso commission
expires on the tenth of this month. 'j fit was
while occupying the editorial chair of the
Atlanta New Era that Dr. Bard conoeivod
the happy idea of nominating Grant, and it is
to the credit of the latter that he has not for
gotten the recognition of his merits when he
was only the occupint of the obscure posi
tion of General of the United States army,
but having found the man who first nominated
him, he promptly returns the compliment by
nominating Bard for the Govership of Idaho.
The prompt confirmation of the Senate ought
to convince Dr. Bard that neither Presidents
nor republics are always ungrateful.
TnE terms of office of the Prothonotaries
of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in
Philadelphia, Pittsburg, and Harrisburg are
about to expiro, and the duty of making new
appointments will devolve upon the judges.
A petition is now being extensively signed in
this city asking that the present Philadelphia
Prothonotary may not be reapppointed on ac
count of his implication in the naturalization
frauds of 1808. The manner in which the
naturalization business was conducted by the
Prothonotary was fully exposed by The
Evening Teleoeaph at the time, and the
publio are well aware how nearly the frauds
then perpetrated came to restoring the Demo
cratic party to power and to placing a Demo
cratic judge upon the Supreme bench. As to
the impropriety of reappointing the present
rrotnonotary mere can oe no possible ques
tion, and with a majority of Republicans
upon the Supreme bench, it is clearly the
duty of the judges to appoint not only men
of assured honesty and trustworthiness, but
staunch Republicans, against whose loyalty
there is not the shadow of a suspicion, to
these important offices.
For the last twenty years the Democrats
have by some means or other contrived to
maintain their control of prothonotaryships,
and it is high time that there was a rotation
in office. The injury that can be done by a
Democratic prothonotary was sufficiently
demonstrated by the exposure of the natural
ization frauds in 18i8, and the judges owe it
to themselves and the publio that no oppor
tunities should be afforded for the perpetra-
sion of anything of the kind again.

the mlnlug regions: "The ollloial report of the
number of persons killed In the collieries In Schuyl

6T, which is one for about C7,S0 tons of coal mined ;
auil 91 persons were Injured, which is one for about
every 42,400 tons mined during that period. Taking
the whole year in the same proportion, it would give
78 persons killed during the year and 115 Injured.
No official report has been kept of the number ef the
Injured that afterwards died, but as far as we re
ceived auBwcrs to queries which we addressed to
operalo-s, about one-sixth of the Injured persons
have died, which would give the number of deaths
caused by casualties in the mines in Schuylkill
