FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1870. 8 The earliest regular edition of Thk Evening Teleqbaph goes to press at IJ o'clock, and the subsequent regular editions at 2j, 3J, and 4. "Whenever there is im portant news of the progress of the Euro pean war, extra editions will be issued after this hour, end before the regular time for the early edition. THE RULES OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OF PHILADELPHIA. We publish in another column a letter from Mr. Kuddiman, in which he says that his delay in appointing a committee to report a set of rules for the government of the He publican party in Philadelphia has "had no motive other than that which has commended itself to my his best judgment and most conscientious wish to discharge faithfully the duty entrusted to me him." What this motive is ho does not condescend to explain. He promises only that "whoa it shall have exhausted its force the committee will be announced." We are left in a state of bliss ful ignorance in regard to the time likely to be consumed by this process of exhaustion, and can only hope that at some future period, which may be a day, a week, a month, or a year hence, the labors commenoed in Sep tember will be resumed. We shall be very glad if it turns out that Mr. Ruddiman's motive is a good one, and if he proves as in nooent as a dove and as wise as a serpent in this proceeding. The public Interest requires that the Republican party shall devise a sys tem of delegate elections and conventions that is likely to secure good nominations, and thus promote one of the most im portant objects of local government; and one of the greatest obstacles to the attainment of this end is the tendency prevailing here, as well as many other sections of the country to concentrate controlling power in all pre liminary partisan movements in the hands of a small and corrupt but active and influential clique. Upon Mr. Ruddiman's selection of members of the proposed com mittee of fifteen will depend, in a large measure, whether the interests of one or more Republican rings in this city or the general welfare of the party are to possess paramount importance in the new rules. If he acts j ustly and wisely he may render im mense service to the people, while the ap pointment of si tves of a ring will go far to secure the forging of galling chains for years to come. This snbjeot possesses special im portance at this moment in consequence of the notoriety lately given to the robberies and rascalities of the ring which rules New York city. The Republican party here unfortunately includes within its ranks men who would have little hesitation in establishing a simi'ar tyranny here. Ever active and alert, they are not likely to suffer an opportunity like that offered by a revision of the party rules to pass without an attempt to advance their personal fortunes by increas ing their influence and importance as partisan managers. Mr. Raddiman asserts that he is hostile to all ring combinations, and that he could not become "a party to, much less the servant of, any class or clique with objects so unfair and so mischievous." If he stands squarely on this platform he is exactly the right man for his present position, and Phila delphia, instead ef running the risk of having a Republican Tammany Hall established here, is in a fair way of ridding herself of some of her present evils. But, Mr. Ruddiman, can not you let us have your committee at onoo ? THE FRENCH MUDDLE. 1 1 is difficult to imagine anything more c in fused than the reports sent from various sources in regard to the oondition of French affairs, the status of the Government, and the probable solution of the existing difficul ties. Scarcely one question-of fact is defi nitely settled, and the only thing well esta blished is that anarchy and misery are hold ing high carnival. The champions of Napoleon claim that by right he still is the Qovernment, yet the ex-Emperor himself, if we are to believe the report of a recent interviewer, lacks the disposi tion as well as the power to assert this claim. The Orleanists allege that the only hope for France rests in the elevation to supreaie power of one of the descendants of Louis Philippe. The provisional government is not only distracted and deded, but it is al leged that an organized secession movement has been made in the southern provinces which is designed to Bet up ' an entirely distinct political organization in the- districts which have suffered least from the ravages of war. Meanwhile contra dictory acoounts are given by BUmarck and Favre of the causes of the failure of the late effort to establish an armistice. Each party throws the blame of a continuation of hostili ties on the other, and while bath profess to be anxious that the French people shall de cide their destinies for themselves, Favre contends that this end is thwarted by Bis marck, while Bismarck alleges that the Re publicans are to blame for the postponement of the elections. In the midst of all this confusion, and in spite of the long Hue of German triumphs, the French ' claim that they have recently won an important victory, and that the armies tlioy are now organizing will soon be powerful enougb to , dri ve the invaders ' I 'in k U the UUme, whjla IU9 QeimKai 6on- dectly affirm that they will soon capture Paris. If we searoh for truth in this maze of contradictions, we. know not where to look for a guide, unless it be in the fact that heretofore Gorman prognostications have prevailed with the repeated triumphs of their arms, and if the present German view of the situation is realized by future events, France Is rapidly sinking into a fearful abyss. THE PAID FIRE DEPARTMENT. The firemen oconpied considerable of the attention of Counoils yesterday, the subjeot ' of a paid Fire Department being introduoed in the shape of a very forcibly worded peti tion from some of the most prominent repre sentatives of the manufacturing, mercantile, and professional interests of Philadelphia, asking for the abolition of the volunteer sys tem as a dangerous nuisance. This petition Bet forth in very expressive language the sins of omission and commission of the volunteer firemen, and it indicated in an un mistakable manner that a well-founded alarm at the present condition of affairs exists in the minds of those who have the greatest interest at stake in the efficiency of the means provided for the extinguishment of fires. As an instance of the manner in which the volunteer system fails to satisfy the con ditions of an efficient organization, the peti tion relates that at the recent sugar refinery fire on Race street, above Fourth, two rival com panies at the outbreak of the fire disputed the possession of a plug for some twenty minutes. during which time the conflagration inorea-ted- beyond the power of the other companies to subdue. In view of this and ruiny other facts that prove the worthlessness of the volunteer system, the petitioners were clearly right in saying "That the volunteer Fire De partment of this city is subversive of the best interests of this, the second city in the Union, is fraught with great evils to the morals and peace of the community, and is not in keeping with the advanced spirit of the age. That the rapid increase of m anuf actnrin g establishments, and our large extent of terri tory, containing valuable property liable at any moment to the ravages of fire, cull for a regularly organized system of projection, free from the evils necessarily connected with an irresponsible body of volunteer firemen." Perhaps stimulated by this petition, and perhaps animated by a mere sense of duty to the public, Councils performed an exceed ingly praiseworthy action in passing an ordi nance dismissing from the Fire Depart ment the Good-Will .and Philadelphia Steam Fire Engine Companies for riotous conduct on the morning of July 10. If C jun cils would act in this decided manner more frequently, some of the evils of the volunteer system would undoubtedly bo corrected. The ease with which the firemen have hith erto persuaded Councils to restore to active service companies suspended for rioting has been one of the greatest incentives to out rage, for it has induced the firemen to bolieve that, bo far as our municipal legislature was concerned, they were prastically free from all restraints. The dismissal of the two companies above named was a virtuous action, for which the members of Councils who votod for it should have full credit, but this alone will not suffice to put a stop to the demoralization that now disgraces the volunteer system, and the only efficient remedy for the evils that every one knows to exist is in a radical reform that will give us a paid Fire Department absolutely under the control of the municipal authorities, and with such an efficiency of organization ns can never be obtained with independent volun teer companies. The opponents of the Penn Square site for the public buildings distinguished themselves yesterday by introducing, through the medium of Mr. W. F. Smith, a resolution authorizing the City Solicitor, with such addi tional attorneys as he may select to take legal measures to prevent the erection of the buildings upon the intersection of Broad and Market streets. This resolution, after considerable debate, wai postponed for one week, and by the next meeting of Councils the anti-PennSquareites will doubtless drum up their forces ami en deavor to have it pushed through, so as to delay the work as much as possible. This move proves that the interested parties in the neighborhood of Washington and Inde pendence Squares have not given up a hope of carrying their project of placing tbe municipal buildings upon one of these two sites, in spite of the emphatic verdict of the people of Philadelphia at the last election. The Legislature, by submitting the choice of a site for the new buildings to a popular vote, removed all ex cuse for further agitation of the subject after that choice had been made. The law, which is worded so clearly that any one who wishes to understand it can do so, undoubtedly gives the commission the right to place the build ings at the intersection of Broai and Market Btreeta, if they thiak that is the best place for them, aud the "coffin" posters and " advertisemsnts that the opponents of the Penn Square situ put out just before the election, so far from frightening the majority of voters, only served to convince them that to throw the foursquares into one, and to place the new buildings in the centre, would be a very proper thing to do. The agitation that is now being started npon this subject is discreditable to all par ties concerned in it, and it will most cer tainly be useless, and will accomplish nothing except perhaps to delay a great municipal enterprise that evej-y citizen ought to be in terested in seeing pushed forward towards completion as rapidly as possible. ' GtNEiiAL Bubnhidk is accused of having abused the opportunity afforded to him of entering and leaving Paris by taking oat of the beleaguered capital an authorization of the Paris Government for the loan recently negotiated in London. . Is it possible that the General was also doing a little stroke of busi ness on private account in this transaction, connected with the sale of American arms tV Sinch Missouri has been lost we scarcely know what Southern State can be considered as reliably Republican. No amount of recon struction, military interference, or accessions of oolored voters can insure the triumph of Republican Stale organizations which are per petually dividing into desperate factions. Missouri has been lost -by influences similar to those whioh practically restored Democratic ascendancy in Tennessee and Virginia, and unless better feeling and better judgment are displayed hereafter, the Democracy will soon recapture every Commonwealth in Dixie's land. The rascality, treachery, and selfish quarrels of the leading Republicans of the Southern States are rapidly paving the way for the rebtoration of Democratic ascendancy. Amono the curiosities of the late elections was the Congressional contest in the Rhode Island district heretofore represented by Mr. Jenckes. The Republicans made no regular nominations, five candidates were put in the field, and it is alleged that open bribery be came the order of the day, tbe ruling price being five dollars for each free and indepen dent voter. Such scenes are rare in this country, for it is more common to buy up conventions, legislatures, or influential men than the masses, and Rhode Island nearly monopolifies the infamy of putting her citi zens up at auction.- NOTICES.
