The Evening Telegraph, from its original establishment, has been in the receipt of telegraphic news from the New York Associated Press, which consists oi 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. Last March we 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 members, the North American, Inquirer, Ledger, Press, Age, Record, 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 paper published in tiis city in which the afternoon despatches of the Associated Press will appear. THE PUBLIC BUILD IN 08. Tub following communication has been ad dressed to certain parties who are supposed to be interested in preventing the public buildings from being erected upon Penn Squares: Dear Sir: Please meet a 1 few friends to consult about taking tbe opinion or the Supreme Court, on Monday, 91 at Instant, at IS o'clock, noon, at No. 811 South feixta street. (Oillce of W. L, Hirst, Esq.) ma November, 1870. The object of this is undoubtedly to obtain an injunction to restrain the commissioners from erecting the public buildings in the manner they propose; and it ia but one of the schemes upon which the property holders in the neighborhood of Washington and Independence Squares are resorting to defeat the expressed will mt the people. In view of the large majority at the last election in favor qf the Penn Squares site, we are confident that the Supreme Court will not interfere, but it is nevertheless im portant that those who wish to see the publio buildings located upon the only proper place for them should be alive to the machinations of their opponents. The obstructive measures of the anti-Penn Squarites ought not to induce the commis sioners to give way in the least, or to delay in carrying out their plans. The sooner the work is commenced of preparing the Penn Squares for the public buildings the better it will be for all parties concerned, for when the work is once actually under way there will be even less exouse than at present for interference. The Anti-Penn-Squareites are now endeavoring to influence one of the largest property-holders in the neighborhood of Broad and Market streets to oppose the ereotion of the publio buildings there. We know this to be a fact, but we can scarcely believe that they have much hope for success, in view of the fact that all the property contiguous to Penn Squares will be largely increased in value by the publio buildings being located there. This will serve as an example, howevor, of the schemes that are being put in motion to annoy the Commissioners and to defeat, if possible, the wishes of the people of Phila delphia with regard to the location of their publio buildings. THE FRENCn WAR MOVEMENTS. If we are to believe the cable despatches of the World, the grand sortie from Paris, for which Troohu has so long bees, preparing, will soon be made at a moment when the armies of Paladines, Keratry, and Bourbaki are harassing the Prussian rear. This state ment must be received with many grains of allowance, on account of the strong pro- French proclivities of the despatches which have emanated from the same source, but it probably affords a fair indication of what sanguine Frenchmen hope to accomplish some of these fine days. The course of the campaign has fully proved that the leaders of the German army consider an assault upon Paris an extremely hazardous proceeding, and they have anticipated its capture rather through the blow process of a siege than by a '"short, sharp, auddeoisive" assault. However certain this method may prove in the end, it gives the French the ad vantage of months of recruiting, organiza tion, drilling, and arming, both within the walls of the beleaguered capital and in the large and populous districts which have not yet been penetrated by the German armies. A quick-witted and patriotic nation should make good use of so much time, and raw French recruits have the reputation of learn ing the art of war, nnder favorable or exciting circumstances, in a remarkably brief period. The meu enclosed within the walls of Paris alone are sufficiently numerous, and they ought to be, after four months' drilling, sufficiently well killed in the manual exeroises and the art of war, to make a powerful demonstration on any given portion of the Prussian line, while Paladines, Bourbaki, and Keratry should alio bo strong enough, with the hundred of thousands of men nnder their command, to seriously harass the German forces. If France ia as skilful in promptly organizing effective armies out of raw material as America was during the late war, she may yet make a fearful rally against the invader; but we are bo acouatomed to see French anticipations blasted by the genius of Moltke and the overpowering strength of the forces nnder his command, that we must have convincing proof of the prowess of the soldiers of the republic before we can be fully satisfied of their ability to recover the ground lost by the soldiers of the empire. MEXICAN SMUGGLING. A DEsrATcii from the city of Mexico, via Ha vana, states that "the Mexican Congress by a large majority has decided to continue the zone libre, notwithstanding the strong oppo sition of Minibter Romero," and that "the frontier States are threatened with revolution unless the law is passed." The practical effect of this policy is very injurious to the United States. It is based on the idea of admitting foreign goods free, or nearly free, of duty in Mexican frontier districts, and once landed,' splendid opportunities are af forded for smuggling either into Central Mexico or the contiguous portions of this country. The tariffs of both nations are thus violated for the benefit of a swarm of unmitigated rascals, and a ring is established which reaps enormous profits from an eva sion of impost duties in a manner analogous to that adopted by the American whisky ring during the continuance of the high tax on distilled spirits. Minister Ilomero, in op posing the continuation of the zone libre, was no doubt animated by a desire to render tardy justice to this country, as well as to vindicate the tarnished honor of his own nation; but his efforts have been nullified by the auda cious Mexican smugglers. Since their threat of a revolution, which was probably commingled with bribery, has exerted a commanding influence in the Mexican Congress, it remains to be seen what aotion our Government will take. It certainly has grave cause of complaint against the perpetuation of a system which will be actively used for the depletion of the American Treasury and the injury of American manufacturers; and there will be good reason for breaking up the "free zone" business, even if we have to seize and hold it until the rascally Greasers learn to deal justly. In the end a resort to this desperate remedy will probably become absolutely ne cessary, for the cruel and cowardly scoundrels on our Southwestern frontier can never be held in check by their own Government, and thoy will never cease to prey upon ours until they are crushed by its arms and punished by its laws. NAVIGATION OF THE DELAWARE. The fact that so little is needed to make the navigation of the Delaware river all that could be desired has hitherto prevented the National Government from bestowing upon it the attention it deserves. From above Philadelphia to its mouth it is a broad, deep stream, capable of floating the largest ves sels, and it has always been our boast and pride that crafts incapable of entering New York and other harbors could come up our river and discharge their cargoes upon the wharves of Philadelphia without impediment. Tbe only serious interference with free navi gation at all seasons is the shallow at the lower part of the neck known as the "Horseshoe Shoals," and at this plaoe an ice accumulation takes plaoe nearly every winter that occasions an infinite amount of difficulty to vessels coming in and going out of port. These shoals are increas ing every year, and threaten to interfere with the navigation of large vessels at other seasons than mid winter, and it is a matter of the first importance that some decided effort should be made to remove them, or at least to make them less troublesome than they now are. A short time ago Councils adopted a series of resolutions calling the attention of Congress to the subject, and yesterday the Board of Trade had under con sideration a resolution adopted a few days go by the Board of Port Wardens, inviting the Board of Trade and the Commercial Exchange to appoint a joint committee to co-operate with Councils to devise a plan to remove the obstructions in the navigation of the river Delaware at the point mentioned, and to apply to Congress for the necessary appro priation. We are gratified to see Councils and the representatives of the commercial interests of the city making an earnest move in this matter, and Congress certainly ought to grant the appropriation asked for. Where the National Governmenthas spent one dol lar for tbe benefit of Philadelphia it has laid out thousands for the benefit of other and less important localities, and we certainly have some claims that are entitled to a respectful hearing. We do not complain that more money has been invested in the improvement of other harbors, for happily we are m bituated that our harbor pictty much takes care of itself. The fact, however, that we have had no appropriation of any moment gives ns an additional claim upon the Gov ernment when we roally need one. It is clearly the duty of the nation, and not of the city of Philadelphia, to maintain a great national highway like the Delaware river in good condition; and the work to be performed npon the "Horseshoe Shoals," , ia order to prevent an ice block every winter, is so small comparatively that there ought to be no hesi tation whatever in Con? ress about appropria ting all tfae funds that are required for the purpose. If the subject is urged with tbe proper vigor by Counoils, the Board of Trade, and the Commercial Exchange, and our representatives in Congreaa do their whole duty' in the matter, Congress would at least be compelled to give the anbjeot considera tion, and we doubt not that the appropria tion would be granted. Tbe only fear we have on this point is ia the fact that the false policy of economy which Congress has of late pursued, which saves at th spigot and lets ont at the bunghole, may prevent the ap propriation from being made. If Congress would abolish the franking privilege, more than enough money could be saved to remove all obstructions to the free navigation of the Delaware, but the franking privilege is so dear to the hearts of the members that, from all appearances, tbey would rather see all the harbors in the oountry closed np than to give up their facilities for burdening the mails with tons of useless documents, not to speak of dirty clothes and matters of that sort. General Butler, in his letter on the Mo Garrahan claim, which we published yester day, takes the ground that if the whole con troversy oonnected with it is probed to the bottom it will be found that "the people of the United States have of right millions of property in that claim." ne does not believe that it belongs to McGarrahan, and he thinks it doubtful whether the title of the New Idria Company can be clearly established; and it Beems that while our politicians have been ranging themselves so 6trongly on the side of Co-Bar or Pompey, they have been forgetting the rights of Borne. This is the old story, perpetually repeated, in a thousand forms, at Washington. NOTICES. Men's Entirb Surrs, As low as 10. Better than are sold elsewhere at $12 to tin.
