THE DAILY EVKN1NO TELEGRAPH ritlLiADEL PHI A, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2T, 1870. (Evening digraph Til UR8DAY, OCTOBER 3T, 1870. MASSACRE OF THE INNOCENTS. We Lave received a number of conimnnioa tions in relation to the article we published a few days ago in reference to the public Bchools, whioh fully confirm oar statement that many pupils are sadly overtasked, and that the city teemi to-day with countless little victims of a false and fatal edncati3nal policy. The attempt of the Hoard of Control to break up the deadly f-yslem of sentencing children to long hoars of wearying home study after they have J.een closely confined in crowded school rooms for as long a period as they should de vote to any form of study, has been unsuc cessful Through the combined opposition of stupid seolional board, lazy or incom petent teachers, and injudicious parents, the old plan of imprisoning the children during a large part of the day, and cramming Iheni during the remaining hours, has been perpetuated in many of the schools; and thus the bad work of enfeebling young frames, of stunting young bodies, of weaken ing young minds, and of filling the ceme teries with little graves goes bravely on. The President of the Philadelphia Board of Controllers, in a report made in January, isi,'., called attention in the most pointed terms to the evil on which we are now com menting. He said that he could not under stand why parents should aid in unwise at tempts to cram the minds of their children; that fearfnl evils had arisen from too close study; that in the opinion of good medical authority "the hours devotod to brain-work should not exceed sir hours for healthy men, and three hours for children;" and that when exhaustive etudy was enforced, headaches, constant weariness, and a destruction of health were inevitable. In the face of this, and other numerous protests, the practical operation of our edu cational system in thousands of instances in Philadelphia to-day is portrayed in the fol lowing letter: "I'HII.ADEI.PHIA, Oct. 2 170 El. EVENINO TELE- fiKAPH, No. 10S South Thirl street, Philadelphia. Hii : There is bo much truth In your article oq Public Schools' of yesterday, that you will pleine excuse one who thinks ai you do in thus telling his experience. The little ones are so much overtaxed with Ions aud, to them, ditllcult lessons, that it is scarcely possible for them to Had oue moment of time to rest their overtaxed braias. I have three of bix, nine, and eleven of age, aad to see the lessons tliey a:e compelled to lcaru at home Is enough to mawe older heads be thankful tbut thevare not 'a boy aaio.' After spending all their time at home at study, even arising at 4tf and S o'clock In the morning, and keeping their books before their little eyes until H4 o'clock lu the rmrnlnsr, thev will p ick up iliolr bo..)ks at the last moment with a 'i hope I will be nerfect to-day,' and oir they go with a heart half in doubt and half In fear. We wait for them at uoou till half-past 12; there they come at last, with faces elongated, and a he ivy sigh, careworn and pale. Their parents look on with pity, and ask, Have you ben fceptlnV Alter awhile the answer will come, with tears Id their eyes, 'Yes, I triad my very best, and, after all, failed In grammar, and was Kept ra tor It.' It is a sorrowful sight to see them try so hard to overcome au Impossibility. "Those who have spent fifteen or twenty years to master U;ese diilloulties, aud now have only to be on liaud al 9 o'clock to hear the little ones try, wlta fear, to recite what their little raiuds have been so ie u1i engaged with for six hours, think school teaching a hard task, when, indeed, it Is not teaching ac all, but merely gtviDg the little ones their task, or, ihore properly, their overtask; and if not done per fect to pti'jHh them. If it requires the children to upend every moment's time, evening and morning (:is it doty, to learn at Home what the teacher -lioo(-a to ioad them down with, of what use are our mituow: Tenth Ward." On the other hand, we have received a let ter from a teacher, who evidently takes a pride in her profession, and who, in discuss ing this subject, says: 'There are some children who cannot study In the scUcol-ionm, at least they say so; there ureeome who will not, unless closely watched. Some are so .Hlow us to be unable to master a lesson in a reasona ble time; some so quick that the averagi tlm i al lot td to study is too rnuca for them, aud they are frequently troublesome after they get through. These are the objections of tM teachers opposed tt HCiool-ioom study We do not belirve thtrr is a sin gle )ii,t vrijeil tcfthh cannot be overcome by a vkiVful te,ut,er, and there ought to be no other nort of tea her iu the public schools. Out there it. Who is to Wanse ? "1 atu a teacher, with a fair sl;re of 'professional eDthui!a-m,' and, I thluk, with a very fair know ledge of what Is best for school children. My expe rience is i ins: Wh re lessons are falthfaliy ex plained oy the tea:l;er, aid a judicious amount of tune allotted for study in school, there is no necessity an) no inclination .tor lessons at home. If children are vmpfHed to take books home, tin teachers areas' fr i ojien flotation of the rides of the Hoard of Edit oi'mmi. This is a matter which needi attention." As our main purpose now is to direst at tention to an undoubted and dangerous evil, we have not spaoe at this moment to publish some valuable suggestions from the same correspondent in regard to the proper method of remedying it. What is needed above all other things is that a correct publio sentiment on this important subject should be created. Parents should be made to un derstand that in ninety -nine cases out of a hundred they are doing a great deal more barm than good when they urge their children to study home lessons; that when they become willing participants in a system that requires steady application to books during all the hours that should be devoted to exercise or recreation, they are inflicting upon their offspring fearful physi cal and mental injuries; and that all the book knowledge in the world will not compensate the rising generation for impaired vitality and enfeebled constitutions. THE CAMEIt X POLTTJCAL II AR. VEST. Ox the 00th of April, 18G2, the popular branch of Congress, then nearly two-thirds lteitublican, passed a resolution of censure upon Simon Cameron for bis nialadministra tion of the War Department, by the decisive vote of 79 to 45. President Lincoln, with that bound'ess magnanimity for which he was so di&tingu'fihed, sent a special message to the House soon after, explaining that the ex-War Minister was not wholly culpable in all the matters complained of; but the justice of the censure was not questioned, and for nearly nine years the Mis teriBg record baa stood unchallenged v a single representative of the people. To remove this conspicuous monument of bis public shame bas been the dream of $iiuoa Cameron. While professing indiffer ence through the columns of such journals as low to bis behests, be bas left no effort un tried to Attain the expurgation of the cen- ftnr froiu the journal of the House. Just before the close of the last session, when he could plausibly promise or threaten the en tire power of the administration, he resolved to force an expunging resolution through CongresR. Colonel Forney was, of course, a willing lieutenant, and he was ordered to skirmish through "my two papers, both daily," and feel the popular pulse to ascertain whether any man could lead the general assault upon the settlod judgment and solemn record of the nation and live; and Hon. William II. Armstrong, of the Lycoming district, was prevailed npon to allow himself to be announced in general orders as the leader of the forlorn hope. It was done as follows, in a Washington special to the Fran of July 13, 1870: "Hon. William H. Armstrong, of the Willla-ns-port district, has prepared a resolution which he proposes to introduce, directing the Clerk to ex puupe from the Journal of the House the resolution of censure passed upon (General Cameron while he was Secretary of War under president Lincoln. It Is proper to state, in justice to Senator Cameron, that lie Is probably not aware of the proposed nation of his friend Mr Armstrong. Ho has grown wholly indiH'erent to the existence of the resolution In question, regarding himself as fully vindicated by the people of Pennsylvania, who, since those reso lutions were passed, have honored him with the re sponsible position he now holds as United S'.ates Senator. Nevertheless, It would no doubt be grati fying to the numerous friends of Mr. Cameron to have these resolutions expunged from the crucial records of Congress. There is little lmbt but that Mr. Armstrong's resolution will jmss without opposi tion." The gentle feeler thrown out squelched the whole movement. There was but one repponse from the people, and that was in consistent accord with the teachings of Colonel Forney's bettor days respecting Mr. Came ron, and with the action of Congress in 1802. Whether Mr. Armstrong had, in a moment of weakness, consented to father the resolution, we are not advised, but certain it is that he did not dare either to offer it or to disavow it. He was thus publicly proclaimed to his people as the author of the effort to excuse Mr. Cameron for his appalling prostitution of the War Department. He could give no reason for if other than that the broad mantle of our national charity that can forgive open rebellion should after a little longer lapse of time forgive the more guilty men who preyed like insatiate vampires npon the nation's woes. With this boundless charity emblazoned on his banner he returned to his people and asked a re-election. In private life he had been blameless, and his political reoord was in full harmony with those who had made him their representative by an overwhelming majority. On but one question hid he braved the settled convic tion of bis district and State, and that was in his haste to pardon the mm who stands as a convict on the journal of the House. The verdict of Mr. Armstrong's people is thus recorded: iscs. 18. v. A rtns'ronfi. Mi'-V'i. Ar,it'ron .

One of the strongest republican districts of the State is changed to the Democracy in a single year, for it gave Geary a large majority in 1801). With no organized onnosition to the Republican nominee, no "bolts" or ir regular tickets to confront the success of Mr. Armstrong, he has reversed his more than 12000 majority, and sent a Democrat as his successor. It is proper to 6tate, in justice to Senator Cameron, that he was probably not aware of the proposed action of his friend's constituents in the premises, but we do not see that it softens the bottomless pit into which Mr. Armstrong has been plunged. This is but one of the many painful les sons which mark the late political history of Pennsylvania. The names of the three men who elected Mr. Cameron to the Senate over Colonel Forney in 18:7 are immortal in in famy; and four-fifths of the men who voted to nominate Mr. Cameron in the Republican caucus in 1807 have since then been festering political corpses in the path of his advance ment, in accordance with the fearful doom pronounced upon them by Forney, and Stevens, and Grow, and Curtin, and Moor- head, in public meeting at the time the deed was done. Cessna, to escape the Cameron vengeance that assailed him fruitlessly in 18G8, moved to make Cameron the member of the Congressional Committee for this State, by which Cameron hoped to usurp the Republican organization and prostitute its power and means to re-elect himself; but Cessna fell because he bore the load of Cameron's friendship. GilSUan per mitted Cameron to dictate his district ap pointments, and it revolts to the tune of '.'), defeating him by over 7(K), where be should have bad 1800 majority. Morrell was sacri ficed by a deliberate effort to trade a Came ron Senator into an election, to make the State renew its blushes over the Senatorial struggle of 187.J. Three Republican Sena torial candidates, each of whom should have had 1000 majority, are beaten from 000 to 1200, because they meant to betray the State into the bands of Cameron again, and disas ter is visible in some of the strongest Legis lative districts of the State. Must these lessons continue until the Republican party finally surrenders a supremacy it can no longer maintain in honor? Simon Cameron and bis victims should answer. TI1E CENSUS OF PHILADELPHIA. The vote of ThiUdelphia for Governor in 100 was 82,o.' 2, while the population, ac cording to the census of that year, was 505,r '.). In 1H8 the vote polled for Audi tor-General was 121,411, showing an increase in the vote during eight years of nearly fifty per cent. A corresponding increase of the population would have made the number of inhabitants in Philadelphia in 1808 more than 800,000. But we are told by Marshal Gregory's census that the real number now i only G.17,159, or 200,000 less than it should be if the ratio of voters to population in exciting elections has not been enormously increased. It is possible that frauds have become more common than in former years, but we do not believe that any amount of re pealing or false naturalization can acooimt for such glaring discrepancies as thoe re ported. For instance, the Fifth and Eighth wards are alleged toha ve diminished their popu lation to the extent of 10,34!? during the inter val from 1800 to 1870, while their vote was in creased, from 1800 to 1S03, from f.1!r to O0D7! If the old ratio between votes and population had been maintained, the number of inhabit ants in the two wards should have been in 1808 more than Ci.OOO, whereas the census return made in 1870 gives them a population of only 30,217! We are not disposed to question Marshal Gregory's desire to give a faithful enumera tion of the inhabitants of Philadelphia, but that bis assistants have failed to dischargo this duty thoroughly is painfully apparent; and as be is a comparative stranger in the city and State, having resided here but a short time previous to his appointment ad Marshal, he has lacked the knowledge and experience requisite to comprehend or correct the errors of bis subordinates. Their task, in turn, bas been one of extraordinary diffioulty, and in some distriots they have found it next to impossible to obtain correct answers from persons who associated thea inquiries of the census-takers with recollections of the draft and fears of new internal revenue exactions. Some months ago it was proposed in City Councils that a committee should be appointed to assist the Marshal in his labors, and thus ensure the completeness and correctness of his enumeration. The return submitted is a sufficient proof that this assistance bas amounted to nothing, but it furnishes a strong reason for immediate preparations for a correct census under the supervision of the municipal authorities. The returns of one or more wards might be tested, at a trifling expense, by the co-operation of the police, and if found incorreot, the census of the whole city could be retaken by the policemen or other appointees in a very short time. Other cities are adopting a course similar to that recommended, and if Philadelphia does not follow their example, it is to be feared that her census wrongs must remain wholly unredressed.

Within a few years past a number of beautiful edi fices have been erected on this thoroughare, which for exterior substantiality and Interior beauty are not surpassed by any similar structures in the conn try. The erection or these has been an incentive to others already occupying stores to remodel their establishments, and la so doing the old favorably compare with the new, so that now our principal promenade is lined with as attractive a collection of buildings as can be seen in any city in the Union. Many of our merchants have paid especial attention to the adornment of the interior of their places of business, bo that to the customer they have a de cidedly pleasing and inviting appearance. Among the first of this character of establishments is Kerr's palatial China Hall, No. 121$ Chesnut street, where can be witnessed and purchased all that is beautiful inart. This is a grand and imposing salesroom, and is well worth a visit, as it presents an array of China, Glassware, etc., not to be seen in this or any other city in the country. The stock comprises the finest material In the market, consisting of Clocks, Bronzes, China, and Glass. Among the most noticeable features are the wedding outfits, a choice lot of which have been but recently re ceived. The assortment Is a large one, and can be obtained at all prices. L'ArmocnE d'Hiver! Fpr Season! As the time approaches for that necessary article of La lies' Dress Furs, the question is naturally asked, Where is the place to buy them? the most reliable, the most fashionable, and the most reasonable To all these inquires we can only answer that for reliable, reason able, and recherche articles In the Fur line, in every respect, there is none that can compare with the old-established house of O. Lewlsson, either at his wholesale department, No. 14 South Second street, or at his Branch, No. 1230 Chesnut street (in the store formerly occupied by Borhek A Son). Reliable, because he has borne that reputation for over a quarter of a century ; reasonable, because he eschews the extravagant and exorbitant prices asked In other Chesnut street stores, and recherclte, because, doing a very extensive wholesale business, he Is en abled to collect a finer and larger assortment of First-class Furs than any store exclusively in the retail business, who have not the same outlet that he has for the commoner description. To every lady in want of Fun we can safely assert that a visit to No. 1230 Chesnnt streot will satisfy them that in no other store can such an assortment of real Ras elan and Hudson's Bay Sable, Mink Sable, and Royal Ermine be found, or anything appertaining to a First-class Fur Store.
