TIIE FIGKEN SIIOOTING CASE.
A ob eat effort is evidently being made to in
duce the Governor to remit the forfeiture of
the bail of Hichnrd Ficken, wh has fled to
Europe to escape the consequences of his
crime in shooting the boy Arthur Curran, in
this oity, about a year ago. One of the argu
ments advanced to induce the Governor to
intorfere is that Ficken is willing to pny the
boy the sum of $20,1)00 if the prosecution of
the case is discontinued. We can scarcely
believe that Governor Geary will aid in com
pounding a felony, for the remission of the
forfeiture of Ficken's bail, under the ex
isting circumstances, will be nothing else:
and it should be clearly understood by
the publio that the efforts now being
made to fix up matters so tint Fiokon
can leturn to Philadelphia, without fear of
being brought to trial, are in themselves
grave offenses against the law. Governor
Geary should repulse the advanoas baing
made to him to induoe his interference, as in
fiults to himself and his oflk-e; and if he his
the slightest self-respect or appreciation of
the dignity of his oflioe, he will refuse ia the
most positive manner possible to interfere.
Fioken has committed a crime, and hop9s
beoauso of his wea'.th to esoaps the conse
quences of it. His offense was not merely
against the boy Curran, but it was an outrage
on the community at largo whioh oan only
be expiated by a public trial, conviction, and
sentence under the law. If he is willing to
return and submit to a trial, and then
offers to make the boy a suitable
pecuniary compensation for the injury
he reoeived, we would most cordially
recommend him to the clemency of
the Exeoutive. But he is now defying the
law, and his friends and legal advisors are
aiding him in the commission of a sesoad
offense in the hope of defeating justice.
Governor Geary must understand that Ficken
cannot at this time, with any propriety, be
paraonea, ana mat, apart irom all otnor con
siderations, it will undoubtedly be said, and
with justice, that Ficken's wealth procured
for him an immunity from punishment when a
poor man would have been made to suffer all
the consequences of his crime. Governor
Geary has yet some reputation to lose, and
we hope sincerely for his own sake that he
will think twice before aoting in this matter.
Compounding a felony is a serious offense in
itself, and it will be a disgraceful thing if the
Governor of this Commonwealth should be
implicated in anything of the kind.
THE rUDLIG BUILDINGS.
TiiE opinion of the Supreme Court on the
publio buildings question whioh was delivered
yesterday by Justice John M. Held is not
only interesting as a masterly legal argumout,
but it has a high value as a historical review
of the whole subject of the publio parks of
this oity. This opinion conclusively demon
strates the right of the Board ot Commis
sioners to place the publio buildings upon
the intersection of Broad and Market street,
and we are much pleased to find that it
has already made one influential
convert among those who have hitherto
earnestly advocated the location of the publio
buildings upon Independence and Washing
ton Squares. The Pi en this morning not
only oordialiy endorses the .decision of the
Supreme Court, but it expresses the desire that
all further controversy should cease, and that
the wishes of the people of Philadelphia
skould be carried out by the erection of the
new municipal buildings upon the only proper
Bite for them. The remarks of th Pren are
so very much to the point that we invite the
attention of our renders to the following ex
tract from its article:
"We were among those who earnestly advocated

Press will inspire other of our contemporaries
in the neighborhood of Siith and Seventh
and Chesnnt stroets to cease from further
opposition to the Building Commissioners,
and in tho future to exert thair influence to
promote tho speedy erection of a handsome
architectural pile whioh will not only furnish
ample accommodation to our courts and
municipal ofiiees, but which will be an orna
ment to the city.
TUE INCOME TAX.
The statistics of the internal reveune taxes
collected iu the First, Second, Third, and
Fourth Congressional districts (whioh em
brace all of the city of Philadelphia except a
few wards) during the year 1870, show that
out of a gross sum of (5,850, 7;i5, about ono
third, or $2,JS0,1C1, was derived from tho
iniquitous tax on incomes. Meanwhile, of
tho total internal revenue collected in the
whole country (.tis.i.ooo.ooo), only
;7,77.",87.'), or about one-Ofth, was de
rived from the income tax. 1 Tac
tically .this imposition, among its other
vicious attributes, therefore taxes the people
of the cities, who are also burdened with ex
cessively onerous taxation, much more
heavily than the people of the rural districts.
A very large proportion of the latter live
upon their own farms, and many of their
wants being supplied by home products de
rived directly from the soil, they have com
paratively little necessity for money. In the
cities, however, every article of food, cloth
ing, etc., must be purchased, and as a result
of this diversity, an income of two thousand
dollars in the city has often less intrinsic
value than an income of one thousand dollars
in the country. But in imposing the tax no
cocnizance is taken of this wide difference
in the relative value of a given income, and !
consequently many a rich farmer has
escaped a tax which a compnr itively poor
clerk was obliged to pay. It would be bad
enough if the iniquity of the system was con
fined to the taxation of the rich for the benefit
of the poor, but it goes further and does
worse than this for it taxes struggling men
in tho cities who are constantly hampered by
poverty, while it allocs inhabitants of tho
rural districts, who are rich in material
wealth, to totally escape taxation. The
country members of Congress, who must be
well aware of this inequality, have been sus
tained heretofore in their efforts to
continue it by an Ohio Commissioner of
Internal ltovenue (Delano) and Ohio chair
men of tho Finance Committees (Schenck
and Sherman), because Ohio abounds with
rich farmers who rejoice in the opportunity
to unburden themselves by placing a double
load upon the backs of the people of the
cities. But the new Commissioner of Internal
llevenne, General Pleasanton, is disposed to
right tho wrong that has disgraced the finan
cial legislation of Congress, and we hope that
tho day of deliverance is near at hand.
RECEIVERS OF STOLEN GOOD
A cask of considerable iatarost to merchants
and others who are liable to suffer from the
depredations of burglars was tried before
Judge Sharswood on Tuesday. Matthias
Kaas, a pawnbroker of this city, who has an
evil reputation as a receiver of stolen goods,
but who has hitherto by his cunniDg escaped
punishment, received his just deserts, for
once at least, mainly through a clear and
practical interpretation of the law by the
Judge. The game of Kaas has been to re
tain the stolen goods that come into his pos
session until the lapse of two years had
barred criminal prosecution, but in this in
stance he made a miscalculation, for Judge
Sharswood ruled that the loser of property
by felony was not delayed in his civil action
for their value until he had prosecuted
the felon. Under this ruling
the jury rendered a verdict against
Knas for the value of the goods and exem
plary damages, and the result of this ver
dict will doubtless be to render more dan
gerous, even if it does not break up, the whole
business of receiving stolen goods. Pawn
brokicg is a perfectly legitimate and, under
proper regulations, a very useful business.
There are many men of good character en
gaged in it, who exercise great care about
receivirg suspicious goods; but there are also
many small operators who ate nothing more
than confederates of thieves. Among this
clat-s is Khds, and the transaction which has
at lergth brought Lim within tho clutches of
the law proves bow dangerous to the com
munity such as ho can be. If the busiue of
some of the small pawnbrokers could be
broken up, the professional thieveR would be
deprived of their present facilities for the
disposal of stolen good1!, find an additional
protection would be afforded to the honest
portion of the community.
THE FEES OF ROW OFFICE Hi.
Sj.katob Conxfxl has recently introduced the
bill for the reduction of the fees of the I'hi
ladtlpl.ia How oftices which has figured so
often that it seems like an old acquaintance,
and we feel like hailing it as "Monsieur Ton-
Bon come pgaiL!" The nominal object of
this bill is praiseworthy. It professes to aim
at the substitution of salaries for the exces
sive fees now paid, and if there
were good reasons to believe that
the Legislature would make such
a reform, the bill, or some other bill aiming
at the same object, would deserve general
favor. But what happens year after year is
this: "While the legislators talk about reduc
ing fees or makiDg the How oQioes salaried
positions, scarcely a session passes at which
the fees and perquisites of one or more
officials are not enormously increased. The
Harrisburg reformers pretend to look one
way, but meanwhile they row in another
direction. When they talk they talk of
cutting down fees; when they act, they in
crease them: and this faroe hs been
played so often that it is may well be ques- ,
tioned whether the bill lately introduced is j
anytLirg worse than what the sublime lau-
guage of the legislative lobby characterizes as I
a pinching bill. If it is a mere invitation to the '
occupants orat-pirauts for liowoni?esto ' stja"
their fri.-nda in Ilia T.nmalutnrn. thn miblic !
ran have no interest in such a purely private
business affair; and past experience strongly
indicates that the movemont this session is
debigned to pinch the ofuce-holders and office
expectants rather than to relieve the tax
payers. There miy be some reason to hope
that the proposed reform will be effected by
the contemplated Constitutional Convention,
bnt the people have little to hopo for from
their legislators.
TnK Km st Visit to ttie Niam-Nmms. The
African traveller, Ir. u. Schwt-lnfurth, give an In
t:renting account In the Coli pne Uazrtte of an expe
dition to the country of the Nlam-Ntam, which, he
says, had never been visited by a selentlll'3 traveller
before. Ho perform? d this journsy as the guest of
Mohammed Abu Sammat, a trader In Ivory, and the
party consisted of 3(iu persons. The climate of the
country is "extiemely heaitliy," but travelling Is dlill
culton account of the numerous rivers and marshes;
In the southern districts the esravan had to cross a
river or a bog nearly every quarter of an hour, and
the crossing oftvn occupied several hours. The
general character of the land )9 that or a steppe,
except on the banks of the rivers, which arc thickly
wooded and provided with narrow foot-paths.
In eroding a river, the travellers usually a ink to
their hips in black mud, and huo leeches stii.-X
to their legs. They sull'ered a good deal for waut of
food ; all they could get was corn occasionally, and
some bulbous roots (enstave, coloeasla, bananas,
and excellent yams), but no meat except fowls. On
the itturn Journey tliey killed some large antelopes
without which they would have been almost starved.
They passed through the dominions of the Chiefs
Seriba Sabhl Nganye aud lando(the latterof whom
presented Ir. Schffelnfurtli with a large Jar fu'lof
scorched elephant's tnpe taken from an animal a
hundred years old), and finally reached the resi
dence of Muusa. the King of tho Mombiittu. This
place Ilea at about 8 decrees north latitude south ot
the great Uelle Kiver, which Dr. Bchweln'urth be
lieves Is the same us the t'potr Khari (aillucnt of
Lake Tchad), and Joins tlio lllueXllcat Khartoum.
Munsa Is a "reddish-brown savaire, covered all over
with Bhinln? copper ornaments like a well-kept
kitchen ;'' his wives are painted In all sorts of colors,
and the rooms In his palace are as large as railway
stations ; that lu which tho travellers were
received was one hundred feet long,
r.0 feet wide, and 40 feet high. Cannibalism is pre
valent both among the Mombutta and the Niam
Nlams. Munsa ea's human flesh daily, and, the
Mom' uttu go regularly on hunting expeditions
among the wild negro races in the south; the dead
and wounded are either eaten on the spot or their
flesh dried for future consumption, anL the prison
ers are carried away to be eaten at leisure. As for
the Nlam-Niams, they make war on tho Nubians
out of sheer cannibaliMn. "Flesh, flesh I" is their
war-cry, and any rlave that, comes la their way Is at
once f acrlflced to their ruling passion. On the rc
tiwn jou ney the travellers were lepeatedly attacked
by Niam-Nlams with lauecs and boomerangs, but
their only casualties were t.ro wounded, one of
whom was the leader of the caravan, Mohammed
Abu Sammat. ltoth soon recovered. Tlio total dis
tance travelled from Seriba G ha Has, in Djur.whence
Dr. Schwelnfurth dates his let rer, to Munsa's resi
dence was about severity-live German (3M Knglishi
miles.
TDK Nkw Kussian Li:vy. The J!ussi:in rnra'UI,
organ of the War Oillce at St. Petersburg, publishes
siune interesting Information regarding the new levy
of six per thousand ordered in lus3ia by the Impe
rial ukase of the 1st (13th) inst. It says that during
the last four years tho proportion of recruits taken
from the able-boiiled population has been four per
thousand, making an annual contingent of about
luo.ooo men. As, however, the "period of mil iary
service was In 159 reduced from twenty to llfte.iii
years, 'he effective strength of the army, which la at
present about 1,250,000, would under the system
hitherto pursued fluctuate conside-ably; "but such
fluctuxttons cannot be admitted if we are to place
the army on bucb a complete footing as to make It
capable of acting lu any eventuality." A further
eause of fluctuation Is the now military reform Intro
duced by the Emperor In his ukase of the 4th or No
vember, which orders the formation of reserves
taken from the men on furlough. The levy, pro
ceeds the Invalid, Is therefore "a measure destined
to secure, not the wants or the present momenf,
when we could do without recruiting altogether, but
the effective organization of our military forces In
the future." Moreover, adds tho Invalid, the men
now to be recruited will, as their numbers are con
siderably greater than those of the ordinary annual
contingents, get their furlough much sooner than
usual, for their services with thi regular army,
which Is to remain ut Its present strength, will not
be required so .ong. In conclusion, the Invalid points
out that the levy Is the first step towards making
service In the Kuesliin army eonipulajry for all
classes of the population.
