Cf The Evening Telf.grapii, from Jts original establishment, has been in the rcccrjl of telegraphic news from the New York Associated Press, which consists ot the Tribune, Times, Herald, World, Sur, Journal of Commerce, Evening Tost, Ccft'tcrcial Advertiser, and Evening Ex fns. The success which has attended on i enterprise is, in itself, a sufficient evi dence of the freshness, fullness, and relia bility of the news which we have received fioin this source.' We have now entered Into a special contract by which The Evening Telegraph has the exclusive use of the news furnished in tke afternoon Wy the Associated Press to its own members, the North American, Inquirer, Ledger, Press, Age, Record, and German Democrat, of this city, and the leading journals of the Est, North, West and South ; and hereafter The Telegraph will be the only evening f yfer published in this city in which the afternoon despatches of the Associated Press will appear. 3T Tho earliest regular edition of The livi.MKC Telegraph goes to press at lj o'clock, rind the subsequent regular editions lit ?J, ?), and A . Whenever there is im pwlpnt news of the progress of the Euro pean war, extra editions will be issued after thin Lour, rnd before the regular time for the ttf.ily edition. TUB WAR NE WS. 'J iu; uncertainties in regard to the late opera tions of the French and German armies have loon nearly cleared up in the usual manner by a despatch from King William announcing lhat "our Fritz" has achieved another victory. Wo do not yet know whether it has been decisive. But it has evidently thwarted Mac Mahon'n attempt to relieve or release Bazaine. It has atao destroyed the hope expressed by tho Parisian journals that the Prussian niiuicg would be fearfully crippled by r;rnnd strategic movements in and near Die f-ccno of the late battles, and it has com ollcd them to fall baok upon speculations as to whether their fierce Marshal can run away from (he foe he was expected to conquer. The French, although they were so badly liofrfon (hat they abandoned their works, may ftl ill Miccced in getting a large portion of llioir fumy back to Paris before the Crown Priii ce can arrive there, and this is about the lohl Lope left for forces which are manifestly iinablo to cope with the invaders in the open fid a. Two growing anxiety displayed in Europe about tho terms of peace indicates that the 'eml i t drawing nigh. Germany-insists that lior own authorities shall be permitted to de mand what they think requisite as indemnity for the past and security for the future, while foreign powers are itching for a chance to in lofce. The French theory that peace can oil) be toade after every German soldier is driven beyond the Rhine must give way to tho inexorable logic of events; and Prussia Booms lo be determined to resist dictation fiom England, Italy, or Austria. TUE FREE VOTE SYSTEM. Sinvj'or Buokaxew, the champion of the cumulative vote system, is not satisfied with the title which is oommonly given to it. He inKtslH lhat it bhbll be called the free vote extern, rmd he claims that it will not only socure representation to minorities, bat that it will tend to relieve every citizen of the ihialdom of cliques, to purify conventions end elections, to obviate the necessity of Blending money to buy up "scalawags," and lo bring abetter class of men into the gublio-corvice He alleges that under the lockout system everything is sacrificed to gain Iho good-will of weak, wavering, or vonal voters, and that "the party which will )ioftilute itself the most freely will win," Oiooafl under a system that made the rights of tho minorities absolutely secure, candi dates would be selected on account of their intrlnbio merits, and corruption funds would no longer be collected and expended. He contends that in American cities, especially, Die proposed reform would prove very useful, and lhat if something of the kind is not fejopled they will become "despotisms and floats of anarchies." Like other enthusiasts he exaggerates the 4onofUs of his favorite reform, but that it luight do Home good can scarcely be doubted; and lhat Uie times are so much out of joint as to equlrerfundauiental changes is clearly de monstrated by thd annual recurrence of dis girtcoful proceedings at Harrisburg, and the fuoroasiBg demoralization of the professional rliliclann. The State Constitution needs thorough revision, and this can made only by a convention. We require not only better men in the Bt&to Legislature, but more members, bud under the cumulative or free vote system minorities would insure the election of at least some candidates who were neither fools or tnftve. The virtuous, intelligent, and patriotic voters of the State are now repeat edly ovorfilavghttd by vicious and ignorant 'ii'Vren, wo laava them only a feirful choice between despicable Democrats and rascally Republicans; and it is high time that means were devised to put the powers of government in wiser and better hands. While the general question of reform is up for consideration, there are several things connected with it, in addition to thowe dis cussed at the Reading Convention, whioh are worthy of reflection. First, if we are to con tinue the system of delegate elections and nominating conventions, they should be regulated by law, and the courts should be empowered to punish men who attempt to control them by fraud. Second, the whole array of talent should be made available to J every constituency by abolishing laws requiring that the representative of any par ticular district must be a resident thereof. Third, the system of minority representation should be so arranged that any considerable body of men in any locality of the State, who have an interest or a grievance, may elect a representative by uniting their efforts. Let the coal operators, for instance, send one representative, if they can, and their operatives half a dozen; let railroad men have their representatives on the floor, and anti-railroad men have their firm friends in the Capitol; and let the miserable farce of sending a lot of manikins to Har risburg who are moved hither and thither by lobbyists end bribes cease to be a perpetual .reproach upon the legislation of the Com monwealth. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? The important order issued from the Navy Department a few days ago "for a more economical administration of the naval ser vice" reads like a declaration of independence on the part of the Secretary. Admiral Porter, who has been Secretary de facto ever since the present administration came into power, is now enjoying the breezes of Narragan sett, and the hitherto nominal Secretary, whose name is George M. Robeson a fact which we state for fear that our readers may have forgotten it has taken advantage of the occasion to upset some of Porter's pet arrangements. It will be a sub ject for sincere Congratulation if this order is something more than an exem plification of the adage that "when the cat's away the mice will play," and that Mr. Robe son intends herenfter to be something more than Forter's chi ef clerk. We believe, how ever, that he really does propose to assume the full duties and responsibilities of the. Secretaryship, and if he can succeed during the balance of his term of office in undoing some of Totter's mischief, he will deserve the cordial thanks of the navy and the country. When Admiral Porter came into power at the Navy Department he caused to be assigned to active duty of some kind or other nearly all the officers on the retired list. Boards to .superintend or investigate every imaginable subject were organized, and superannuated admirals, commodores, captains, and other officers were ordered to them under full pay, whereas under the law these officers on the retired list, if unemployed, would only be en titled to one-half of the highest sea pay of the grade in which they might be retired. That is to say, an admiral on the retired list, who had been retired as captain, would if ordered to duty draw admiral's pay, whereas, if unemployed, he would only draw one-half of the sea pay of a captain. The duty to which most of the retired officers have been assigned under the present admin istration is merely nominal, and much of it has been devised for no other purpose than to allow them to draw the full pay of their nominal ran'i. Admiral Porter's object in tbis arrangement was twofold. He desired to place these old gentlemen in as comforta ble circumstanoes as possible which would have been eminently praise worthy if ' the Government . were not called upon to foot the bill and he was anxious to concentrate as large a force as posssblo of the older officers of the navy at Washington, in order to use them in influ encing Congress to defeat the aspirations of the staff officers. Congress, in passing laws to regulate the retirement of naval officers, intended evidently to remove them from active duty, except in extraordinary cases, in order to give the younger men a chance for promotion and to cut down ex penses. Admiral Porter's device, there fore, of placing inosi of the retired officers of high rank on active'duty was a. clear violation of the spirit if not of the letter of the law, and Secretary Robeson is obviously doing no more than his duty when he directs that "from and after the first of October next no retired officer of the navy shall be assigned to or remain upon active duty except as member of the Light house Board, the board for examination of officers for promotion and for the retired list, and at the Naval Asylum ; and all such officers not coming within the above exceptions, now on active duty, are relieved from that date." The assignment of officers to duty as port admirals was another of Porter'a moves. This idea, like many others with which the Admiral is afflicted, was borrowed from the English service, and it has no merit at all as applied to our naval fcy-teu, except that it provides nominal duty with full pay for offi cers who would otherwise be unemployed. A sufficient reason for the discontinuance' of the position of port admiral is to be found in the fact that confusion and enormous ex pense have attended the division of the authority and responsibility between officers ashore and afloat at our naval stations. The Secretary therefore orders that "the position of port admiral be hereby discontinued from end after the 1st of October, except at the port of New York." It is estimated that this order of the Secre tary of the Navy, if faithfully carried out in letter and spirit, will save annually at least $112,000 to the country, while the real em- L ciency of the navy will be greatly promoted by the younger officers being called upon to do the active duty of the service, and no wrorg will be done to the oldr officer who Me itlhtd uruUr the law of Congress. Secretary Robeson, before he entered the Cabinet, had the reputation of being a man of pluck and spirit as well as ability, and it has therefore been a matter of surprise to his friends that he has so long submitted to the disparaging criticisms that have been launched against the Navy Department from all sides, when he could have demonstrated exactly how far he deserved them individually by dismissing the irresponsible adviser at his elbow who has been credited with being the active cause of all the mischief done in the navy during the last year and a half. Porter has been nominated for Admiral by the President, but as he will have to be confirmed by the Senate be fore he can receive the coveted commission, it may be that he thinks it advisable to let the Navy Department take care of itself without his running the risks of becoming any more unpopular than he already is, and thus damag ing his prospoots for the admiralship. It may be, also, that Secretary Robeson has got heartily tired of him, and has given him a hint to go about his business. But whether the! Admiral has retired voluntarily or because he was compelled to, we are happy to believe Secretary Robeson's order means that the influence of Porter is at an end in the Navy Department. TEBltmC GALE. A Buitnlo Hurrlrnn Tlirlllln Adventure and Nurrovr Karnpea. Tlic Buffalo Vvuricr gives the following account of the storm In the neighborhood of Hutlalo a lew days ago: Ihe city was visited yesterday by the moot tre mendous gale of the season. The early tifternoon wan quiet and pleasant, but about 8 o'clock the great black clouds began to gather, and the premonitions of the gale were unmistakable. A little more than half an hour later the storm broke. The squall came from the southwest, and carried everything bcfo.e it. The rain had not fallen In sufficient qnnntlti ts to lav the dust, and the air was so darkened br its fly. ing particles that It was impossible to see across the street. DESTRUCTION OF THE OHIO STREET BRIDOI. The most serious result of the storm was the de struction of the toll bridge over Buffalo river, near the junction of Ohio and Louisiana streets. When the gale was at its height there were on the bridge under a cover a baker-wagon, driven by John lerr, of No. iH I'ine street, two wagons driven br men named Tainter and Leacock, engaged lii drawing sand from the beach for Isaac Hollo way, and a third wagon of the same sort, driven by a man named Tate, was just entering the covered portion of the bridge from tho draw on the city side. A squall btruck the old bridge with such force as to utterly disrupt and smash It to flinders. The entire covered part of the structure was lifted up by the force of the gale several feet, and then flung with tremendous force to leeward. Never was a more complete wreck made in so snort a (-pace of time. Each plank aud rafter was torn from its fastenings as by tho Uog.ru of a mighty giaut; strong beams were rent asunder, and their tunes torn like paper by the irresistible power of the tornado; the whole bridge, which must be two hun dred feci in length, wos converted la auLiMoMto an enormous and shapeless bin as of dislocated lumber; and scattered over the river. NARROW ESCAPE OF A 6AIMNO PARTY. The gale overtook a party ol ladies and gentlemen In a sail boat, on the lake, near the dummy light, and treated them to a thrilling experience which will doubtless prove the most fearfully memorable of their lives. The party consisted of Mr. J. P. Hoff man, Mr. Charles Chafer, Mrs. J.B. Fraser and Miss Ella Clark. While the storm was yet In the distance they noticed the vessels rapidly taking in sail, and Mr. Hoffman determined at once to make the lee of the light if possible. As the white caps approached him he hauled down tho sail, leaving about three feet of it exposed to the breeze that he might be the better enabled to handle the boat. Before he could reach tho point of safety, however, the squall struck the little craft, almost lifting her out of water, and capsized her. In an instant the party were in the water, but for some seconds Mr. Hi ale r, who had become entangled In the sail, was not visible, and it was thought he had sunk to rise no moie. Mfss Clark, In being thrown into the water, got hold of the mast, which had become par tially unstopped, and Mr. Hoffman directed his en ergies to the saving of Mrs. Fraser, who had fairly been washed away from the boat. When Mr. Shafer succeeded In extricating himself, he ren dered assistance to Miss Clark; and through the self-possession of the gentlemen and the won derful coolness of tho ladies, the party managed to cling to the boat with considerable tenacity. The shell was rolled over and over some twenty times by the angry waves, and with every violent surge of the waters hands had to be loosened from their hold and the chances taken on the changed position of the boat The situation was a trying one, and as the boat drifted over the threat ening rapids, the feelings of the party can be more easily Imagined than described. Past the Interna tional bridge went the boat and its helpless party without being discovered, and It was not till they had readied a point directly in front of the water works that tin fr perilous condition was noticed. The party were picked up very much exhausted, after having been struggling in tho water for an hour and forty minutes. SPECIAL. NOTIOE8. For A'tititinttat Special Notice see the Inside lttfe.

FRONT and I 17 SOCK St., Phila. It baa been clearly demonstrated that all Liquors dialiUedby the ordinary methods contain ft very large percentage of impnritien; the degree of heat that muat necessarily be em ployed, decomposing, disengaging and vaporizing nil the baneful elements and noxiona gtwes contained in the mash, which when condensed form the deleterious fusel oil so detri mental to life and health; bnt, when indulged in to excess, the result is Brain Fever, De lirium Ircment, Apoplexy, Insanity, etc. Consequently Liquors, as ordinarily distilled are r.pt, even when only used sparingly as a stimulant, to create Nausea, Sick Headache' In Jtammatwn, anfl hidney Disease. The "P. P." Whiskies, on the contrary, "stimulate and cheer" without unduly exciting the brain or injming the coats of the stomach. They are distilled from the choicest product of the Ctreala in vacuo, the pressure of the atmosphere being reduced from 15 lbs. to 2 lbs. to the square inch; consequently a temperature of only nbout J0 degrees of heat is re quired in tie operation, The process is entirely mechanical, no ACIDS.
