We hope that the opponents of the Penn
Square site for the publio buildings are satis
fied now, for they have signally failed in their
last desperate attempt to defeat the will of
the people of Philadelphia, the Supreme
Court this morning having dissolved the in
junction against tbe commissioners, so that
now there is nothing whatever to prevent the
building from being erected in the manner
proposed. We never doubted that the Su
preme Court would decide this matter
as it has done, and we refer our
readers to the . decision delivered this
morning, whioh we publish on our first page.
The citizens of Philadelphia have reason to
congratulate themselves not only npon this
decision, but npon the fact that it has been
delivered. It ought to set at rest finally and
forever all question as to the site of the pub
lic buildings; and the property-holders in the
neighborhood of Washington and Indepen
dence Squares should remain satisfied with
having submitted their case to the people and
to the Supreme Court, and with having been
defeated in both instances. Let us have
peace.
Piin.iELrHiA Democbact sends as its best
and worthiest delegates to the Democratic
State Convention such shining exemplars as
John Ahem, Robert Lister Smith, William
McMallin, and John Tobin. These selections
are eminently appropriate. They represent
with photographio fidelity Democracy as it is
in this city, and oonfer due honor npon the
men who in sunshine and storm bear the
heat and burden of the fray, and who are
equally ready for a fight or a fraud when the
interests of the party demand extra exertion.
As they work the machine, why should they
not run it from the initial step of its opera
tions? What is the use of putting up respect
able figure-heads to bewilder the publio,
when it is well understood all round that all
true Democrats must bow to the MoMullin
influence? '
UNITED STATES SEXATORS.
Tbe Legislatures of several States have re
cently eleoted, or are about to elect, United
States Senators; and from present indications
the list will include Senator Wilson, of Massa
chusetts, Hon. William Windom, of Minne
sota, Senator Morrill, of Maine, John A.
Logan, of Illinois, Frank Blair, of Missouri,
Eli Saulsbury, of Delaware, and F. T. Fre
liughuysen, of rfew Jersey. It is noticeable
that the dominant party in each State
has taken great pains to select men
particularly well adapted by their talents,
training, and antecedents for the special pur
poses required. We do not pretend that Eli
Salisbury, of Delaware, or Frank Clair are
likely to make good Senators, but we have
little doubt that they will be effioient repre
sentatives of their peouliar constituencies.
As Delaware belongs politically to the Sauls
bury family, it was impossible that anybody
but a Saulsbury could represent her, and
three brothers Willard, the present United
States Senator, Gave, the present
Governor, and Eli, a lawyer not
heretofore gorged with ofiloe
were the only competitors for the nomina
tion of the party once so Deinooratij th it
it had a holy horror of aristocratio family
dominance. Willard's career in the Senate
fully demonstrates his unfitness, and as
Gove's Governorship has furnished soaroely
less damaging evidence of his nnworthiness,
the Demooraoy displayed superior wisdom in
honoring another member of this omni
potent family. In Missouri the anti
l'epublican party is made up ia a
large measure of rampant Rebels
fellows who distinguished themselves during
the war by torturing or shooting down their
Union neighbors, and they will find Frank
Blair, as long as he remains in his present
mood, ready to go as far as tbe farthest to
galvanize a new rebellion, to punish loyalty,
to exalt treason, and to bring discredit and
disgrace npon the National Government whioh
is the object of continued Rebel hatred.
The Republican Senators just eleoted or
about to be elected are all men of mark
Wilson, Wiudom, Morrill, Loan, and Fre
liaghuysen having eaih and all given ample
proof of their devotion to their respective
States and high capacity as legislators.
A glanoe over the list will nuke every
Pennsylvanian solicitous for the houor of
thU Commonwealth, and regret more keenly
than ever that it is so miserably represented
in the United States Senate. Practically it is
not represented at all, for Cameron's chief
pbjeot is to pander to the ambition
of the Cameron family, and
Soott figures only as an attorney
for railway corporations. When we consider
that two of the best men in the State oould
only secure partial justice for her interests in
the Senate, it seems the height of Jolly to en
triUt hir welfare to BUCli feeble Indif
ferent hands; and if anything can inoite
among the people an irrepressible determina
tion to right the wrong inflicted by venal
legislators, the strenuous efforts of other
States to secure good representation in the
highest deliberative body in the land will
ring the death-knell of oar oorrapt Camerons
and our servile Scot ta.
WUT IS NOT AUKRTf UROUGUT TO
JUSTICE?
On the 13th of October last an outrageous
assault wns made upon the election return
judges by a party of ruffians, one of whom
lost his life in the affray that ensued. One
of the leaders in this riot wan John P. Ahem, a
man who has been for a long time notorious
for his misdeeds; but in spite of Ah?rn's well
known character and the direct testimony to
the effect that he was one of the chief rioters
on this occasion and, in company with Nolan,
was one of the assailants of Return Jadge
Crawferd, no effort whatever has been made
to bring him to punishment. The excuse of the
District Attorney is that he has no official
knowledge of Ahern's complicity in the riot,
as there has never been such a presentment
of the case as will justify action on his part,
no one having yet come forward to enter a
complaint against the criminal. This is cer
tainly an extraordinary state of affairs, as
there were men in attendance at the time of
the riot who are fully competent to appear as
Ahern's prosecutors, and who, as law-abiding
and law-loving citizens, ought to be inte
rested in bringing him to justioe. The evi
dence at the Coroner's inquest on the body
of Nolan most conclusively implicated Ahern
as one of the chief rioters, as will be seen
from the following statements which- we
quote from the sworn testimony of several
witnesses.
Hugh Mullen, a reporter, testified as fol
lows: "Heard Ahern say 'push in;' Mr. Lyman
approached him, and he was wedged in the
doors, and struck from both sides; the panel
of the door was broken in; and the first one
I saw come in was John Ahern; he came in
staggering, the blood blinding his eyes; he
got into the middle of the room; don't know
whcVier he had a pintol or a blackjack, but
there was something in his Jumd; it looked
like a b'ackjack; he turned near the middle
of the room and said, 'we'll change this busi
ness,' or 'change the tables:' something like
that.
Joseph H. Paist, a reporter, testified that
"he saw Ahern and Nolan oome in; after
wards I Baw Mr. Ahern with a piece of rail
ing." David B. Beitler, an alderman and return
judge, testified that "Ahern got stack in the
door; I saw Ahem haoe a pistol in his
hand cocked; I took hold of the pistol; the
hammer came down and wounded me in the
hand; it was twisted away from me and the
door was forced; saw Ahern with a
blackjack: heard him say, 'For God's sake
give me a pop;' I heard Ahern say to
the crowd, 'Why don't yoa help me?' he
said this while I had hold of his hand with
the pistol in it."
John Wallace, a return judge, testified that
"Ahern, the short man, and two others were
pursuing Crawford when he fired."
Wm. H. Ehret testified that "he saw a man
said to be Mr. Ahern, with his face bloody
and a blackjack in his hand, coming towards
the middle of the room."
nenry Everly, a return judge, testified
"Ahern got between the doors; the doors
closed npon him; he hallooed for a pop, and
said 'Why don't you shoot through the door?'
they beat in the door; he got a pistol, bat it
was taken from him."
Colonel William B. Mann, who was a wit
ness of the riot from its commencement to
the end, testified to Ahern's behavior both
outside and inside of the room. Mr. Mann
said, in the course of his testimony: 'The
sudden opening of the door threw several on
the floor; the next that I saw were several
persons coming in with blackjacks; con
spicuous in this mass was Ahorn;
Crawford retreated to the east side of the
room, and Ahern cried out, 'You are the man
I want;' the man I feared
most was Ahern; he had reoeived a
blow on the head, and the blood was
trickling down his face; he had a blackjack
upraised, and was in the highest possible ex
citement; Ahern moved in the direction to
intercept Crawford if he continued to go
north. The persons who were pur
suing Crawford four in number were
Ahem? Nolan, and two others the witness did
not know; one man in bin ok clothes had a
blackjack; Ahern had a blackjack also;
I think Ahern was the man who cried out
'Yoa are the man we want.' "
Here is certainly an aoounmlation of testi
mony in regard to the guilt of Ahern that
ought to be sufficient to bring him to trial;
and Colonel William B. Mann, who was not
only a witness to the whole affray, but to
some extent a sufferer from it, is the one
person of all others who should appear as
Ahern's prosecutor, and aid iu proouring for
him the punishment he deseives. Mr. Mann
was for a number of years an officer of jus
tioe himself, and he certainly ought not to
appear in this matter as attempting to shield
this ruffian from the consequences of his
crime. The prosecution of Ahern is a daty
that Mr. Mann owes to himself and to the
community; and if he will bring the matter
to the official notice of District Attorney
Sheppaid, that officer will no longer have an
excuse for not taking vigorous action to pun
ibb one of the most disgraceful outrages that
has ever occurred in this city.
Gikmaky and Atsthia. A pamphlet, attribute!
to the Archduke Albert, receut'y appeared at Vi
enna, under tbe title, "Tlie Year 110 and the De
fensive I'ower of the Austro-Hungarlan Monarchy."
Tbe author compares ibe military force of Germany
with that of Austria. Germany, be says, baa at her
disposal for military service from 81,' to IX per cent,
of ber population, or l,i3,ooo to 1,347,000 men;
wbUe under her present military system Austria
could not obtain for ber army more than 911,000 men.
Germany has 699,000 infantry against Austria's
6T8.0W; 74,875 cavalry against Austria's 4t,4M;
1T4 guns against Austria's im Moreover, tier-
idj baa 05,wo hones always ready, ra wUca at
peace, while Anstrla has only 87.88-S so that i
at the rommenrempnt of a war nea.ly the whole of I
the German cavalry can bo mounted at once, while
Austria would have to obtain More thn O.O'H)
noma over and above her ppace establishment.
The rapidity, too, with which her troopi can be
mobilised Rives Germany a jrreat advantage over
neighboring nations. Every State on her frontier,
therefore, which cannot equal her In the rapidity
and precision of her military system, is not secure
against Invasion ;" and the writer accordingly urges
that It Is Indispensably necessary "for Austria's
very existence" that, she should accept wltnont
delay the Prusslsn plan of mobilization. He also
recommends that the whole of the Anstro-Ilnngi-
rlan army should bo at once provided with the
Werndl ride, of which only aoont 800,000 have as
yet been Issaed; that Olrautz, Koine rn. Tenth, the
line of the Enns, and the Carp Uhlan pisaes should
be strengthened, and that a regular system of forti
fications should be constructed for the defense of
Bohemia.
Tun FiPHERiKg of ProiT Sound. From Wllke-
son's "Notes on Fnget Sound" we take the following
glowing account of the valuable fisheries at the Ta
clOc terminus of the Northern Paclflo Railroad :
"The fisheries of Pnget Sound are those of the
Sound proper and of the waters commercially ap
purtenant. Vicinity makes this appurtenance. The
cod, hake, and halibut of Alaska, and the North
Pacific generally, are about eight hundred miles
nearer to the drying-racks on Pugct Sound than to
those of San Francisco. Therefore Uiey belong to
Pugct Eonnd, and Paget Sound will take that trade
tn fish whenever she wants It; and It can no more be
got away from her than Norfolk can get away the
cod and mackerel fishery from Gloucester.
But the variety and abundance of fish
of the hljhest excellence In'' Tuget
sound proper, as designated In tbe
Northern Pacific Railroad charter, are as striking
thai act eristic of these waters as are Us timber and
its climate. Salmon of many species for of this
famous fish are many kinds, differing much In
quality and value crowd the seas, bays, and streams
at certain seasons of the year. They abound lite
rally In millions. The statement often made to me.
by residents that 'salmon can be taken In any de
sired quantities' is most strictly true. In water of
convenient depth they are seined. In deep sound
logs they are taken with the hook. No other
fRclllty and no other outlay are necessary for the
prosecution of the business of fishing for them than
a good seine and men enough to work It. An Idea
of the abundance of tbe salmon in Pugct Sound can
be got from the fact that in August, 19S9, at the
fishery of Morris II. Frost, at Muktltco, at the
mouth of the Snohomish, 1700 were taken at one
haul. The Iudians catch large quantities, and the
Hudson's Bay Company long established a profitable
export trado in them. Some Yankees from Massa
chusetts and Maine have Just got Into the business.
and they will show that It Is capable of Indefinite
expansion. Cured and salted, theso lish sold last
year for ten dollars a barrel for shipment to China
acd tbe Sandwich Islands, and down the South
American coast. But there Is a ilsli, so superior that
the sa'mon Is not worthy of lying In the
same basket with It, and the speckled trout only as
a gracious favor should be permitted to get Into the
frying pan In which It has been cooked the cod, the
true Gadu. That Is tn Puget Sound. It especially
abounds on the west side of Vancouver and the
north of Fuca. But it Is everywhere, and It Is a
kingly fish In Its proportions. It averages two and
a hslf feet In length, with a girth round the slioul
dersof eighteen Inches. It has the flavor of the
Block Island cod, and of food for man or gods
nothlDg more can be said than that. These fishes
are seined at several places on tbe sound and caught
also with the book in deep water. Tbe price hist, year,
salted and In the barrel, was from sixteen to twenty
dollars. But tlicBC l'uget Sound cod are only tbe
rank of the main body or these admirable fishes.
The banks on which they live begin on the north
western extremity of Vancouver aad extend beyond
Alaska. Whaling captains have assured me that on
the old Russian-American whaling-ground they
have at times sensibly fcit a retardation of the mo
tion of their ships under shortened sail by reason
of the masses of these fishes. Halibut abounds
In Puget Sound of enormous size, and of a delicacy
and tenderness not known In Its Atlantic congener,
The quantity In which they exist here may be esti
mated from tbe statement of an oftlcial of the Hud
sou's Bay Company that In forty-eight hours a fish
ing vessel of six hundred ton? can be loided with
them. Eulaclion, a very delicious fish of the size
of a small herring, Is in shoals on the North Paolflc
coast as far south as the mouth of the Columbia,
Sturgeon of immense size are plenty off the mouths
of the Frazcr and other rivers. So abundant is this
fsli that Isinglass made from it is a regal ir article
of export by the Hudson's Bay Cjmpiry. Her.
rings are In countless millions. Smelts -pre
ctseiy the dollcate fish of New York Bay
are taken by boat loads. Dog-fish In Incredible
quantities are taken by the Indians solely for their
o'l, and this oil Is a staple export of the Hudson's
Bay Company. Thero are several varieties of rock-
llfh and deep-sea perch, the latter often running to
eight pounds weight. Of speckled trout in the cold
streams flowing Into tbe sound, even to 'slx-poun
ders' there seems to be no end."
