TffE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1870. 5 w a w-Tonn z s xvz s. From Our Own Correspondent. Nkw York, June 10, 1870. I abulia on Doortrp The numerous Cuban, in this city certainly have a va6t predilection for door-steps. They eit upon them continually. Upon the hottest Lours of the hottest days you see them sunning themselves there, absorbing the heat and light as though they derived sustenance thereby. Like swarthy flowers, they turn their dark faces to the Bun, and their burning eyes, like glittering black rosep, stare the sun out of countenance, or gaze unblinkingly uton the smoking pave ment. They never sectn to have any business, those idle, dreary-looking Cubans. Smoking the eternal cigarette, twisting their black moustaches, switching their Blender canes, twirling their massive chains, and glancing at their diamonds with supercilious vanity, they gabble melodious Incomprehensibility among themselves, and eurvey the blonde and florid American as he passes with an air of good-natured toleration, as much as to say, "You see I am giving your government a chance, and trying to make as much out of your climate as possible!"' You will find plenty of these step-loiterers all day Ion?, l ut they congregate mostly after the early hours of the evening. Occasionally you find a young American woman surrounded by a bevy of Bwart admirers. Suddenly you break upon a dark-browed beauty (the fire and languor of whose eyes hulf neutralize each other, like opium in wine), encircled by a riug of lank American youths. There arc some 6treets through which you cannot pass at nightfall without encountering such groups. Sixteenth 6trect, betweeu Fifth and Sixth avenues, Is one of these. The very air smells of Havana. The Fnll of a Fop. The student of human nature accustomed to walk at various hours of fine afternoons and evenings past Delmonico's, on Fourteenth Btrcet, and the Fifth Avenue Theatre, will have noticed standing in front of one of these places a very wonderful personage. So far as his clothes were any indication of his scale iu creatlou he might have been mistaken for an Inhabitant of one of Dean Swift's mythical worlds, for his attire was certainly unlike any usually seen on this planet. Every visibls article of dress was different in color. The hue was of the most Vivid description and the patter of the loudest. The most natural thought occurring to any chance observer would bo that he man was Insane, or that he had got himself up for a joke In order to accomplish some temporary pur pose. No such thing. The man was neither a maniac nor a joklst.t a having so attired himself ehad accomplished half the business of his life. The otker half consisted in extracting people's corns, for his profession was that of a corn ex tractor. Some people spend their money in riot and debauchery, some in gambling, some in speculation. Our corn extractor spent his on dress. This might have been passed by as a harmless eccentricity but for the fact that he eometimes so behaved in public as to attract a good deal of very unpleasant attention. The other evening, for instance, he went to the theatre (Wallaek's) where Mr. Brougham's 'sen sation play of The lied Light was performed. There, having a seat in the parquette, he arose in the middle of the performance, waved two eilk pocket handkerchiefs in a most remarkable manner, and making some remarks in regard to one of the actresses then on the stage, centred upon himseif the attention of the entire auditorium. Unfortunately for him Justice Dowling and Superintendent Jourdan hap pened to be present. Both of these gentlemen are never more on duty than when they are cur rently supposed to be off. Between them they had the fellow put out of the theatre, and there the matter would hove ended but for the out rageous scene of disorder which he immediately improvised at tho door. Finding that he could not be quieted, he tvas at length put in charge of two policemen and conveyed to the Tombs, where, the next morning, he had a hearing be fore Justice Dowling. During the interval, be it understood, he tore up the beaches in the cell, wrenched away the gas-pipes, turned on the water, aud created as much havoc as though he possessed the hundred hands of Briareus, and each of them had been hard at work. His rainbow suit of silk and cassimcre was utterly ruined by the violence of his exertions and the flood of water he had let in upon the cell. It hung around him in soaked strips, and when he made bis appearance in the court-room he looked like a bad potato with the skin half peeled. A heavy fine was judiciously imposed upon him. Mrlllnff Dead Bodies. A curious story comes by way of the Board of Health. It is to the effect that several sextons and undertakers who are at the head of fashion able establishments carry on a systematic traflic in dead bodies, convey thera surreptitiously to yarious quarters of the city, where store-rooms exist, and there keep them until their friends demand them, paying therefor exorbitant fe3. There are one or two things about this story that are quite incomprehensible. "But no matter," as they say on the stage. How do the undertakers get possession of the bodies with out the knowledge of the dead ones' friends or relations? Supposing them to do so, how do the friends and relations find out what the un dertakers have done with the bodies? Lastly, when the whereabouts of tho bodies has been found and the ransom given, what is the reason that nobody is ever brought to justice, and the whole tiling resolves itself into a newspaper paragraph ? Pausing for a reply, I wrap my eelf up In an Arat ian Night's Dream, and re main Ali Baba. nUBlCAJb ATtl I It ASIATIC The City Anau.ein.au.. at the Academy of Music tnls evening Wallace's opera of Lurline will be performed lor tue lien tia ot Mrs. Bernard. As tnls opera has never been given here before, it should re ceive the attention of those lovers of music who appreciate the genius of the composer as shown in his better-known works. Independently of the attractions offered, the fact that the enter tainment will be for the benetlt of Mrs. Bernard ought to ensure a crowded house. This ladv has claims upon the Philadelphia public that ought to be recognized on sucn an occasion as this, end we hope that the affair will be a brilliant success in every particular. A farewell matinee will be given to morrow, wnen marina win oe represented. At th Walnut the drama of Ilin Van Winkle will be performed thU evening for the benefit of Mr. Jefferson. A matinee to-morrow. At thb Akcu the Brvant trupe of minstrels will give an entertaining performance this even ing. At thb Chesnut the present troupe of va riety periormers will appear for the last times this evening, to-morrow afternoon, and to morrow evening. A game at marbles between two boys in Tennesn-e, on Sunday week, was abruptly ended by the skillful use of his penknife by one of them. Marble now marks the grave of the other. THE STATE..' De.trurtire Fire nt JUeVeTtown-rUf Mill nd Taper Mill Jlurned. The Lewistown (iaMlte says: The grist inlU and paper mill of C. 1. Dull, at McVeytown. was entirely consumed by fire between one and two o'clock on Sunday morning. The establish ment was ono of the best water power mills In this country, with a run of seven burrs, and was a large" building. The alarm was promptly given, but with euch rapidity did the flames spread that not an article of value was saved by removal. The mill had, as near as could be ascertained, the following contents: 1S00 to2D00 bushels of wheat: 1000 bushels oats; 700 bushels corn: a largo quantity of rye, barley, and buck wheat; 7 tons chop, and 00 barrels of flour. Adjoining the buildine was erected two years ago a paper mill with machinery costing about $'.1000, whk'h was also totally consumed, together with nbout $1000 worth of paper ready for market. The total loss will be from $30,000 to $40,000, on which there was only about $4000 iusurauce. A day or two previous to the fire the owners were making arrangements to in crease tho insurance. The cause of the fire Is not definitely known. The night engineer left tho paper mill at ten minutes to l'i on Saturday night, with the fire properly secured. It originated In the basement of the grist mill, where the boilers were placed t run the grist mill. Since the fire a large quantity of grain has been taken out which fell to the basement, but it is almost worthless. Ioli7irnI. Francis E. Shoberhas been once more nomi nated for Congress by the Democrats of the Sixth district ot North Carolina. Hon. George l Fisher refuses to be reck oned among the candidates for the United States Senatorship from Delaware, not that he loves Delaware or the Senate less, but because he loves his professional life in Washington more. The Columbus (Ohio) Slate Journal asserts that the newspapers in Judge Lawrence's dis trict oppose his rcnomlnation, on the ground, chiefly, that he has made more promises than thcro are offices. But it siys it knows nothins as to the truth of the charge. Tho Cleveland leader, summing up the Con gressional possibilities in the next election in Ohio, gives tho Republicans eleven districts, and tho Democrats four, leaving four districts doubtful. All such golden anticipations, which are beiug indulged in extensively In the North ern States, are very pleasant, but whether they shall be realized or not depends much upon what Congress does during the present mouth. This is a little truth which it would be well for all concerned to bear in mind. Nearlv complete returns for Congressmen from the First district of South Carolina eive Whittemorc 9504 votes and Dunn 1889. Two ears ago the Republicans cast 17,407 votes and the Democrats 11,018. The Charleston News says that many of the colored voters were dis gusted with Whlttemore and felt the disgrace he had brought upon them; and that the failure of the white voters to support Mr. Dunn was, in all probability, mainly due to the feeliug tuat it Is better to let "Whittemore go back to Con gress with all his sins on his head. Incidentals. Hartford craves some English sparrows. The Richmond Debtors' Relief Convention in Richmond was an absolute failure. A Boston paper explains that it intended to speak of "the prettiest theatre" in that city, and not "the bulliest," as the types got it. Clilcago Has a new Democratic paper, wuicn starts off with an elaborate protest against negro suffrage. It is to be hoped that it will grow wiser as It prows older. A Portland paper reports tuat Wavnc .vie Neoge has been appointed Minister to Turkey, which will probably make Mr. McVeigh inveigh against the perversity of the types. Ana now an Atlanta paper advertises as found "an elegant white lady's panier." Really, this thing has gone quite far enough; it ought to be stopped. l lie drummer and nier or tue Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, of Boston,, are each eighty-two years old. There is more uni formity in their ages than in any other two things connected with the company. Une ot the lire-engine Horses in Atlanta, Georgia, was sick the other day, and the boys employed another, leaving mm in nls place in tho engine house when they were called out. Alter they had gone, doc, tue horse, became restless, and in a short time broke his halter and galloped off to the fire, where he took his place beside his mate and remained quite con tented. The L tica Herald relates that a large tree which had fallen and lodged against another hung over the crowd near the platform nt the fcteuben celebration on Wednesday, and that during the exercises some young men climbed a short distance up the slanting trunk. A gentle man who knew that the tree had been in that position for years requested them to come clown, which request they at once complied with, un ihursday the tree leu to the earth with a crash. The Quebec Mercury says: "We are re quested by the officers of the G'.tth Regiment to state that their ball and presentation ot colors will take place on Tuesday, the 21st of June, when they hope to see all their friends origi nally invited. It is particularly requested that all papers both in Canada and the L nited States will copy this notice." Tue Telegraph Is not one of the papers both in Canada and the United States, but we copy the notice. A Swedish farmer who was breaking land near Pacific City, Kansas, bared with a plough a huge Jog oi antediluvian timber, further research shows that an immense forest has at some former time been submerged, and now lies about fourteen inches below the surtace. the trees are all lying in one direction, their tops toward the west, lheyare black as let. aud capable of receiving a high polish. There seems an inexhaustible supply, as experiments ior miles round reveal them to the search. Short-horn cattle are valuable for their remarkable antltude to fatten, the perfection of their form and the smallness of their bony structure giving them advantages over all others as beef cattle. No animal of any other breed can so rapidlv transform the stock ot any sec. tion arouud him as these bulls of the Improved tbort-horued species. Une ot the character istics of this breed Is also their remarkable docl lity, and their indisposition to break through confinement. Colonel Henry O. Kent, of Lancaster, N.

Continued from th Fourth Edition, Mr. Howard said he would offer an Tien'lmnt to the bill which bad been asrred upon ljrbth parties, rliiih w.ulil not grant to th Central bra.cli any l.imin wltbin the limits ot ftobraik, but all audi lauds woald be Riven to the other company. Toe bill was riuallj tnWtn up, and Mr. Hbrrman obectod to Riving the ompaajr even saotionpuf land. Tie bill was tnen reeouinitted t the Uoiniuitteeon Pai itio Kailroad. Mr. Pomerov, from tho Committee on Pnttlio Lamts, reported with amendment the bill to ntnml the tima tor the completion of the railroad between Madinoeani Portage Uitv, ami trio bill for the relief of Lucas, Dickin son, and otner connties in theKta'eot Iowa At I'lo o'clock the benale resumed the consideration of tho Franking bill. Mr. Drake corrected a mitoeraent of his remarks on the previous day. His poeitinn w:is thut nnless tlwlml contained a proposition by nuiih tho Uovorniuont shall pay the postage ot Seiiatoraand Representatives tie would vote cfiftinut it. Mr. Morrill ( Vt.) advocntod bis amendment, continuing the franking privilege tu tlio Kxenutive an I Agricultural IfeparliiientK, and to persons upon whom it has been sp. clHlly contorted byhiw; also to public documents ot pre sent or previous Congresses ; anil that all pent ions shall bo Bent Ireo, aad tree newsuuper circulation continued, lie believed not a singlo noilnr would lie saved by the abolition of the franking privilege, aa tho dop.irtmcotA would have to bo furniahod with slumps tn an amount e liml to the saving of the l'ost Orlice Department It was but taking the money out of one pocket and putting it in anot iter. 1 he abolition wotilj necessitate an increaseof the com. fiensation ot postmasters, because these orhcials could not e had at present rate of compensation. L'uless they had the tracking privilege many oi them would havetothrow np rtieirotliues. He would have petitions from thepsipla sent free, as he eipected in a year or two there would be an abundance of them asking repeal of the law nuw pro peso!. Mr. Sumner then addressed the Senate. He said the bill promised to abolish an old aud time-honored Bj-stom, and did not attempt to provide any moans for attaining the original objoct of the system. It was destructive, not constructive, a raw, crude measure The franking sys tem enabled people to address their representatives, and be answered without cost, bringing the people aad Gov ernment more closely together It had diffused light through regions of the Booth long kept in ignorance by slavery. He proceeded with a history of the origin of the frank ing privilege in Kngland, and eulogized Rowland Hill for his labors ij reducing postage in that country, culmi nating in 1H-U in penny postage and the abolition of the franking privilege, except in the cases of petitions to the Crown or to Parliament. Alter showing that the reduc tion in postage rtimulated a vast incroase in correspond ence in F.nglnnd, as it also had in this country, he con tended that the establishment of a tiniforu rate of one cent for a Utter of half an ounce was entirely raasonnhlo ; and in a short time, with proper relief In other directions, would render the Post Office self-supportiag, Any pos sible loss o' revenue, however, from the chance should not be considered whon the infinite Rood from it is so apparent. Making the estimate for 1871 with the rate of one cent. anu nhsuining an mi rouse in correspoimuucv ai oniyotio hundred tier ecu t., there would lie a deficiency of iff I'J. I'M.- ibi, from which should be deducted the illegitimate ana extrinsic cnarges properly uoionvtng to the 'treasury. Considering these for one moment, jtoh will see now small the deficiency will be. The Postmaster-tienem! estimates the franking privi lege to cost $d,00li,KK)t and by too abolition of the franking privilege ail this postal matter will pay the ordinirv rate. and thus contribute to the postal service, Mr. Sumner concluded bis argument as follows: Our Duty is simple. It is to relieve the post olnce of present burdens, including eHDecially the franking svstem and tiie expense of unproductive routes, while at the same time we establish a uni'orm rate of one cent. Totheao cardinal objects may bo a ided others named in the bill introdnced by me, especially the -oauiremont of payment always by stamps, so as to simplify the accounts and to make peculation impossible ; Put the tuuaamental chanje a in rne rate oi postage. Could my desires prevail, the Post Office should be like the common school, open to all, with this only condition that the rate should be sultioient to guard against abuse. lint tins is accnn.pnsueil liy that now proposed. Let the uniform rute be eno cent, and you will witness a transformation. The power to frank, which is now con fined to a few. will practically belong to all, and letters will be multiplied in proportion opening to the people an inexhaustible sonroo of all good influences, whether of education, wealth, virtue, or haopinoss, while the Ronn fo lic rises in the scale ot civilization, "ucn a rate will be better than a mine of gold in every State: better than a band of iron for the Union : better than a fortress lower ing on nnoounted hill-tops; for it will be an angelic power. And could this rats be ext mded to international post age, its least service would be to our commercial rela tions. Beyond this would be an inconceivable intluonce on that immigration to our country which is a constant fountain of lile, while it carried into the homes of the Old World the most seductive invitations to take part with us in our crest destinies. Republican ideas would be dif fused ana the riglitsot man gain new authority. Kvery letter from, firesides among us, when read at firesides abroad, would be a perpetual proclamation of the re public. More than ever this change is needed now. It is essen tial in the work of reconstruction, which can be main tained only throupb the national unity. The very extent of our country, which is superficially urged as the apology tor a Digu toio, its m iuj uiiuu itH au-auiuuiiiui nwsua lur the proposed reform, neoaase our country is broad and spacious, therefore must distant part be brought into communication ana woven logetner oy aany recurring ties, liecause our people are various in origin and language, therefore must they be enabled to commingle unn become homogeneous. And Hstly, because fellow- citizens have snltered ana Deen separated oy terriole war, therefore must the Post Ottioe become a good angel to Suicken industry, to remove ignorance, to soothe preiu ice, and to promote harmony. Klessed are the peace makers, and inthia company the Post Olhce properly re formed will take an iiluair.oug place, llouNe. Continued from the Second Edition, The Speaker suggested that in a matter involving so much personal feeling the motion ahould be reduced to writing. Subsequently the resolution was put in this form : Jieolrrd, That W. Scott hmith, the reporter of (he New York Kwniwj vwt, be brought to the bar of the House to show cause, if be can, why bo should not be expelled from the reitorters' gallery for libellous statements retlecting on the integrity of members of this House. A discussion ensued, attended by a good deal of confu sion and excitement, Messrs. Dawes, Gatriolil, and ISutler taking the position that the proper course to be pursued was toretur the matter to a committee a proposition that was strenuously opposed by Messrs. Sargent and Woodward, who thought that the resolution ought to em brace all the reporters; by Mr. Kldridge, who thought it better to take thorn one at a time; by Messrs. Karosworth and Scoheld, who expressed the opinion ironically that tho correspondents of the Now York papers particularly, and ot some of t ne Philadelphia and Western papers, were very truthful and careful as to what they said affect ing men's reputations ; and by M r. Bingham, who recalled similar cases in both Ileuses. Finally the resolution was adopted without a division. Thehpeaker laid before the House as a question of privilege a letter from Charles H. Porter, Representative Iroui V irginia, relating tho circumstances of an aasault recently auade upon him with murderous intent in Rich mond, Va., by a person named Patrick Woods, aiiaa Patrick Dooley The letter having hoen read, Mr. Wood offered a resolu tion directing the Speaker to issue bis warrant to the bergeant-tit-Arma for the arrest of Woods, uliaa Dooley, and his detention, subject to the further order of the House. Mr. Kldridge suggested that it was not a question of privilege, as the aault did net affect Mr. Porter as a member of the House. '1 he Speaker supposed that if a member of the Hjuso wore murdered it would atiect hira. Laughter.) The resolution was adopted, lw to 4. The naturalization bill came up as the nnflnishod basi nets of yesterday, the question being on laying on the table the motion to reconsider the vote by wuiuh the bill was liLid on tha table. The lnoliua to reconsider was not laid on tho table reaa, M; nays, So. Ihe vote was reconsidered yeas, H ; nays, and the question reourrin whotuer the bill should bo laid on tbu table, the vote was yeas, nil; nays, H7, aud then on motiou ot Mr, Davis of Ne York the bill was recomraitlrd to the .loaiisiary Committee. At 130 P. M. tte Doorkeeper aud an assistant of the Eergeant-at-Arms appeared at the bar of tho House, h iv ing iu custody Mr. W. bcott flmith, the reporturof the N York tLvft ir.il l'oMt. Mr. Smith having been placed in the area immsJiataly fronting the Speaker's chair, the Speaker directed the Clerk to read the resolutiou nude which th arrest made. The resolution having been read, the Speaker directed the Clerk to read the communication aort da. spatch complained of. These having been alas read, the Kitpakiir udtlrehsins him said : Mr. Smith : The House has adopted a reaolutitm re quiring ycu to appear at the bar to show cauae why you shoultt not be expelled trout the privileges that you now enjoy as one ot the reporters in the reporters' gallery t jr these alleged libels on members of thd House. You are at hlierty to speak. In response, Mr. Smiih sent to the Speaker the follow liter ... miniiE.ii.at.liin fu regard lo n y first despatch, which appeared in the Hew York iron 11.7 ot aionaay jane o, 14, u, iue siais nienta contained therein w-re based OD in official doou- uirnts which 1 saw. ud the statement set forth in the despatcn were identical with those contained in aaid docuw nts, and the names mentioned i a tue despatch were the a me as those contained 10 loose papers ana were uaed there in the same conueouon as in aaid des patch.
