TUESDAY, JANUARY 3, 1371. THE GROWTH OF PHILADELPHIA. lit tbe returns of the ward assessors there were 1 ',. 'Ol dwelling-bouses in Philadelphia in the midsummer of 1807. The exceedingly interesting statistics of the building improve ments of the past year which we published on Saturday enablo us to approximate closely to the number of dwelling-houses now in the city: Number of dwellings, .Time, Ifir.T 102,fot " erected in last half of 1SG7 I.tws " im'.s; 4 (192 " isr.9 4,HH ' " lyro 4,r27 Jiving an aggregate of HT,fi4 Making due allowance for the obange of dwelling-bouses into stores, there are now about 117,000 buildings in the city used as private residences, allotting among whioh a pop-alation, according to the recent census, of 7I,0'"', we have an average of f '70 per sons to a house a smaller proportion than will be shown by any large city in the United States and probably in the civilized world. Philadelphia is eminently a city of homes and home comforts. Nearly every family has an entire dwelling-house to itself, large or small, luxurious or otherwise. Happily, the vicious tenement-house system which is the curse and discomfort of New York is almost unknown here, and misery and crime are cor respondingly averted. The full returns of the Building Inspectors for the year show that altogether permits were issued during the twelve-month for the erection of buildings of all clashes, of which 1.12" were dwelling-houses. The ag gregate number of permits, r237, falls but L'liG below the number for 18GD, the highest on'record, the lecreaso in the numler of per mits for the erection of dwellings being :J."1. The returns for several years past exhibit a steady and gratifying increase, the number being more than doubled in ten years. The most gratifying fact resulting from a scrutiny of the figures is the great increase in the number of small dwelling-houses erected. Since 18;, one story houses Lave disappeared entirely from the books of the Uuilding Inspectors, but during the past year permits for the erection of 2C!)1 two-story houses wore issued. This numbT is greater by 4!)." than the number of pnr.its for similar buildings issued during lfV., although the permits for three-story dwellings issued in 1870 fell 821 below the figures of 18(i'.. For ten years previous to 18G7, the permits for three-story houses ranged between MIX) and 800, only once, in 18f.lt, exoeeding 1000. In 1807 the permits for dwellings of this class numbered 11'., and since then there has been a steady an nual increase of about r00. It is the people whose means will not suffer them to own or pay rent for any superfluous room that constitute the bulk of the population of a great city. In other large communities, and in New York city especially, this cluss is generally crowded into enormous tenements, where life is in constant risk from disease and fire, and crime and discomfort go hand in hand by reason of the absence of all sem blance of a true and wholesome home life. New York is accustomed to sneer at Philadelphia as a huge, overgrown village; but, while contemplating the comfort and morality which prevail among the bulk of our poorer classes, as the direct result of the ability of nearly every family to have an entire dwelling to itself, we can well afford to ignore the sneer, and be thankful for the dispensation of Provi dence which sutlers an indefinite extension of our city, and permits us year by year to provide for multitudes of honest and indus- trious families by the erection of a vast num ber of small and comfortable dwellings. In this connection, it is interesting to turn to the building reports of New York city for the year 1870, which have just been pub lished. During the year permits were issued for the erection of 2189 buildings, a number far from equal to one-half that of our own city. Of the total nwniber of permits, 751 were for first-class dwellings, nearly all with brown-stone fronts, 3"2 for second-class dwellings, and 0'jO for third-class dwellings and tenements. The great accessions which New York is constantly receiving to its popu lation are from the poorer classes of emi grants; and yet, as shown by the oihYial fig ures, the number of buildings intended fur their habitation is but little over one-third of the number erected, and nearly all of these are necessarily of the overcrowded tenement class. After all, a huge, overgrown village has soma manifest advantages, especially in tho f yes of honest folk who are obliged to ha industrious to keep soul and body together. PKHCY 1). SPEAR.

Of course notice was immediately given not to confirm the nomination, as no tainted character should be retained in an oflice so Important and 60 trying as that of Indian Agent. William Wblsh. THE PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. It is conceded that the present Legislature will pass a bill at an early day submitting the question of a Constitutional . Convention to a vote of the people, and authorizing the election of delegates. The details of the plan for attaining constitntional reform have been generally discussed by the public journals and public men, and much contrariety of sentiment has been developed as to the mast practicable method of enabling the people to be fairly represented in the body that is to revise their organic law. While Mr. I3uckalew's method of cumula tive voting is approved by mauy, and espe cially his extreme application of the principle even to fractions of votes, it seems to be generally conceded that the minorities shall, in some way, be represented. Bui two bills have been prepared in detail and presented to the public through the press one by Mr. McClure, an ex-legislator and politician of ripe experience, and another by Mr. Connoll, who is equally experienced and practical in dealing with public questions. Both bills provide for minority representation, but by entirely different principles. In order that our readers may comprehend at a giance the difference in the two bills, we give the basis of representation adopted by each. Mr. Connell provides for thirty-two delegates at large, each voter to vote for but sixteen, thus giving each political party an equal number; Mr. McClure provides for thirty delegates at large, to be elected in like manner; but in the selection of Representative delegates the bills essentially differ. Mr. McClure gives each county, whether large or small, a separate representation, on the prin ciple that tho delegates should come directly from the people of their respective localities, as the immediate representatives of the views of their neighbors, and he proposes to pro-. tect minorities by cumulative voting. In every county where more than ono delegate is to be chosen, the minority could concentrate thoir votes on one or more candidates and certainly elect. The basis of representation by Mr. McClure's bill in :!0, 000 population, with an additional delegate for every fraction over 15,000, and all the counties with a los3 population than ."0,000 are allowed one dele gate each. Thus Forest, Elk, Cameron, Ful ton, etc., would each have one delegate, while the more populous counties would have dele gates in proportion to their population by the late censns. Mr. McClure's bill also avoids all attempts at political advantage, and no man cou!d calculate in advance with any cer tainty the political complexion of the con vention. Mr. Connell's bill divides the State into districts, observing the present formation of tho Senatorial districts mainly, and limits the votes to be cast to a number less than the number of delegates to be elected, thus cer tainly securing minority representation. In the First district of this city, for instanoe, Mr. Connell provides for five delegates, but each voter casts but three votes. The Re publicans would thus elect two of the dele gates and the Democrats three. Had the Legislature remained Republican in both' branches, as it was when Mr. Connell pub lished his bill, it might have proved accepta ble, as it makes a Republican majority in the convention inevitable; bat now, - with the Senate Democratic, some bill that gives equal chances to the two parties to control the con vention in accordance with the popular vote will doubtless be adopted. We subjoin the basis of representation pro posed by the two bills that of Mr. McClure's bill being fixed on :0,009 population, with an additional delegate for every fraction over 15,000, and allowing one delegate to each of the counties with small population: Mil. connell's bill.

The people are in earnest on the subject, and we trust that the friends of the measure; of both parties, will unite, as speedily as possible, on the best plan that can be devised, and pass the bill. The people will hail such v bill as the harbinger of better days, and when their duty is to be performed they will discharge it faithfully and thoroughly. THE BONDS OF THE UNION PA CIFIC RAILROAD. As effort has been made by parties interested in opposing the Paoific ltailroad sohemes to create an impression that the interest on the bonds of the Union Pacific lload would not be paid when due, and much unnecessary alarm has been excited in the minds of bond holders. As will be seen by a telegraphic despatch in another column, the interest on the first mortgage bonds of the Union Pacific ltailroad was promptly paid this morning by the financial agent of the company in New York. This will set at rest all further controversy on the subject, and assure the public that the bonds of the Union road are what they profess to be first-class securities. There can be no doubt wbr.ever on this point, as tho bonds are secured in such a manner as to make them absolutely safe, and those who hold them would do well not to listen to the in sinuations of parties who are interested in de preciating their value by fa'se reports in re gard to their stability. Mayor Fox has issued a proclamation offer ing a reward of $1000 for the arrest and con viotion of any and every person concerned in wilfully setting fire to any building within the limits of the city of Philadelphia, and he remarks as his reason for this that there appears to be a spirit of incendiarism at this time rife among the lawless of the community. The fact is that the occurrences of the last row nights nave demonstrated in a most con clusive manner that the creation of a paid Fire Department was absolutely necessary as a measure of protection to the public., for the ruffianly element of the old volunteer depart ment has vented its rage at the final consum mation of a great reform that will put an end to firemen's riots in the future, not only by the comparatively harmless pastime of insulting the Mayor by hanging him in effigy, but by burning houses and getting up street fights. The issuing of this proclamation of the Mayor may be taken as an indication that he intends to use all his power anl influence to put a stop t such performances in the future. It will not be enough for the Mayor merely to offer a reward and to enjoin his officers to be vigi lant, but he should take active measures to show that he really means business; and if he can bring to punishment a few of the scoun drels implicated in the outrages of the last few days, the probabilities are that the hangers-on of our engine and hose houses will be content to let the volunteer system die a peaceful death without putting themselves in peril of the penitentiary. We can scarcely wonder at. "the high prioe of beef" when we read tho record of the enormous consumption ef the large cities. In onr Philadelphia markets, during the year 1870, the sales were considerably larger than in any farmer year. The aggregites were 117,903 beeves, 8835 cows, 18i,50l) hogs, and 082,000 sheep; and in view of the large quan tities of cured meat of various descriptions which are prepared in the country and sold by our provision dealers, even these figures do not fully represent our annual supplies of animal food. No British Transcontinkntai. Railroad Pos. BiBi.E. In Wllkeson's "Notes oa Puget Sound" we Had the following significant passage : "I have somewhere In my Notes called British Columbia 'a tributary of the Northern 1'ttclUo Kail road. It la worse for Mr. Bull than that. Tie entire British Possessions between Lake buperloi and the Pacltic Ocean are a dependency of this railroad. Great Britain can't get Into or out of this territory by rati save over American soil. That makes the region dependent on the Northern Pacluo. "Divers engineers have put oa sorrowful record then conclusions that the country between Canada and the PactQc was, la two points, Impracticable for a railroad. The most distinguished of these, Captain John Palllser, of the Royal Kaglneers, speaking of tae district between the western shores of Lake Superior and the Rod River, says, 'It Is intersected bv long, narrow lakes and innumerable water- court es, broken by rldgus of rock, across which the traveller has to make tedious portages,' etc. 'Asa line of communication with the Red liiver and the Saskatchawan, the canoe toute from Lake Superior would, I consider, be always too arduous and expen sive a route of transport lor emigrants, aaa never could be used for the Introduction of stock, both from the broken nature of the country passed through, aud also Ifva the very small extent of available pasture.

That Is bad for tho 'exclu sively British' on the east, of the country on the west, Talllser lays, 'The knowledge of the country, on the whole, would never lead me to advocate a line of communication from Canada across the con tinent to the Pacific, excliwivelii through IlrilUh territmy. The time has now forever gone by for effecting such an object; and the unfortunate choice of an astronomical boundary line ha completely isolated the. Central American poeion of Great Britain from Canada on the eaut, and almost debarred them from any eligible accent from the Pacific roast on the teett.' " OUITUARY. Dr. J. It here llnrton. On Sunday Dr. J. lthca Barton, one of the most distinguished surgeons of his day, died at his resi dence In this city, In the severty-thlrd year of his aae.
