FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 1871.
The Evening Telegraph, from
its original establishment, has been in the
receipt of telegraphic news from the New
York Associated Press, which consists of
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
faper published in this city in which the
afternoon despatches of the Associated
Press wiil appear.
C5T The earliest regular edition of Thb
Evenino Telegram goes to press at lj
o'clock, and the subsequent regular editions
at 2$, Z, and 4 J. Whenever there is im
portant news of the progress of the Euro
pean war, extra editions will be issued after
this hour, and before the regular time for the
early edition.
AMERICAN STEAMSHIP COMPANY.
It is certainly not creditable to American en
terprise that there is no steamship line be
tween the United States and Europe under
the control of our own citizens. We are now
obliged to depend entirely npon European
steamers for the transit of passengers, mer
chandise and mails across the Atlantic,
whereas there ought to be at least one com
petitive line owned and controlled by Ameri
can citizens. We freely admit that there are
difficulties in the way of starting a line of
steamships, and that it is an enterprise of
much magnitude, but these difficulties are
certainly not insurmountable if the proper
amount of interest is taken in the nutter.
The proposition to establish a line
of steamers to run between this port
and Europe has been received with
extraordinary favor, and the American Steam
ship Company has been organized under cir
cumstances that certainly augur favorably for
fiuccess. The entire stock of the company
was taken up by our own citizens as soon as
it was offered, and a large proportion of the
bonds have already been absorbed by corpo
rations and individual capitalists. About
$1,000,000 of these bonds yet remain npon
the market, however, and as the money they
represent is absolutely required for the enter
prise to make a commencement, we hope that
they will receive the favorable consideration
of all who have money to invest. These bonds
are endorsed by the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company, so that they are undoubt
edly as safe as any securities in
the market, while the high rate of
interest offers a decided inducement to those
who wish to obtain as large a percentage as
possible on their investments. The influence
that such a line as this must exeit not only
on the commercial but on all the manufactu
ring and other industrial interests of Phila
delphia and Pennsylvania cannot be over
estimated. It will not only do much to
wards reviving the commercial prosperity of
this port, but it will stimulate trade of
every description. Every inhabitant of Phila
delphia, poor as well as rich, is interested in
having this line put into operation and in
having it prove a financial success. The
amount now needed by the company in order
to commence the work of building the vessels
and starting them upon their regular trips is
certainly not a large one, especially when the
importance of the subject is considered, for a
great and wealthy city like this to raise; aud
if the bonds now offered are absorbed as
rapidly as they should be, Philadelphia, by
controlling the only line of European steam
ships built and owned in this country, will
obtain an advantage over New York ami other
cities that will have a most important bearing
en her future prosperity.
Ik tue lower branch of the State LogisU
ture yefaterday a coouetti,u Democrutio mem
ber (Sir. Skinner) offered two rasolutioas
heartily endorsing and approving two recom
mendations in Governor Geary's Ute message
which referred to a general amnesty bill aud
the interference of soldiers with cloctioaa.
In vi.w of the skill displayed by tha Demo
cracy on a national arena in bringing to their
open arms the lovely ex-alderman of Green
v.lle, it would not be very astonishing if, by
vigorously following up their movement iu
the Legislature, they might also capture Penn
sylvania's gallant Governor Geary. The
great question arises, however, is he worth
captuiing? ' How innoh will the 1) nioorasy
p un and how little will the Itepublioaas lose
by. a formal change of hia political relation ?
LEAGUE ISLAND.
Lkakuk Island, for numerous reasons, is by
far the most suitable place for a great naval
depot that can be found npon the Atlantio
coast. Indeed, we do not exagerAte when we
say that it is the only suitable place. The
ono fact that it is in direot communication
with the greatest coal and iron region in the
United States would be sufficient to point it
out as the one proper place for such an estab
lishment, even if it possessed fewer advan
tages in other respects than it does. It is
acknowledged on all Rides that our present
Navy Yard system is totally inadequate for
the naval requirements of the country, and
we have no hesitation in saying that, by con
verting League Islaud into a great naval
depot, with all the appliances of workshops,
Bhip-yards: and storehouses, the efficiency of
our navy would be increased one hundred per
cent, without a single vessel being added to
those now afloat. That nothing has yet been
done towards improving League Island is due
to the moan and paltry jealousy displayed by
thej people of some other cities and their
representatives in Congress, whenever there
is the slightest probability that Ptiladelpkia
will in any manner be benefited by a national
enterprise. That League Island will be con
verted into a great naval depot is certain, but
the work of preparing it should commence at
once, for there is no economy whatever in
the present delay. There certainly ought
to be enough members of Congress who
are In no way interested in the rival
locations, but who are able to under
stand the importance of the subject, to
urge it with proper force as a national mea
sure, and we hope that the present session
will not be allowed to pass away without a
determined effort being made, not only by
the Philadelphia delegation, but by disinter!
ested representatives of other constituents,
to have the preparatory work at League Island
started without further delay. If by any
chance we should become involved in a for
eign war, the want'of such a depot as is pro
posed would be severely felt; and it is cer
tainly better, on the score of economy alone,
that measures should be adopted at onco to
give the country a great central naval sta
tion that will be provided in the most
complete manner possible with all the ap
pliances for fitting out ships of war with the
utmost rapidity possible in case there should
be a sudden demand for their services.
THE BOARD OF PUBLIC CHARITIES.
When the Board of Public Charities was
created in this State, and a number of very
respectable citizens wore appointed as its
members, there seemed fair ground for
hoping that wise supervision would be exer
cised over all our public charities, and that
the Legislature would receive from time to
time valuable information in regard to their
management and the best methods of appor
tioning State aid. From tho report recently
submitted by the President of the Board,
however, it appears that these
hopes have proved fallacious. General
Thomas L. Kane, who is always thoroughly
in earnest in any task he undertakes, asserts
that the board over which he presides "have
rendered no service of respectable import
ance or value to the State, and that they have
left wholly unperformed duties which the
public confidently looked to them to oxeoute."
lie also declares that "they have not made a
thorough investigation, followed by out
spoken reports, into the condition of any
poor-honso, prison, or asylum in whioh
abuses were alleged to exist calling for atten
tion," and boldly charging that the board has
failed to accomplish the objects for which it
was created, he recommends that the act
creating it be repealed.
This is plain talk, and while we do not
understand the circumstances which have
occasioned it, we suspect that General Kane's
views of his duties have differed materially
from those of his colleagues. lie is a
thorough humanitarian, keenly anxious to
relieve the necessities or assuage the suffer
ings of unfortunate fellow-beings, and we do
not doubt that in any publio position which
opened up opportunities for achieving such
great ends he would desire to work with
untiring zeal and self -sacrificing energy. If
the people of the State really
want to know something of the
inside workings of the institutions
they are called upon, year after year, to sus
tain, General Kane is oue of the few men
who has sufficient vigilance to detect and
nerve to tell tho plain unvarnished truth. As
matters have been managed heretofore, State
aid has of ten been very in judiciously distri
buted, and institutions of tho utmost import
ance have received no financial assistance
whatever at times when large sums were
granted to comparatively undeserving appli
cants. Favoritism, importunity, and know
ledge of the great modern art of knowing
how to manage a Legislature, instead of true
merit and utility, have been control
ling influences in the arrange
ment of appropriation bills. And
meanwhile a series of abuses to paupers,
prisoners, insane persons, and various reci
pients of the publio bounty have been tole
rated which are a disgrace to civilization
and a reproach upon Christianity. Money is
wasted in some quarters ; inuoh misery is
caused by the want of it in others; and the
absence of systematic organization has at
once fearfully increased the volume of human
Buffering, while the means whioh might have
lessened it were being wasted.
General Kane, we presume, feels and
keenly realizes these facts, and as he has
virtuully thrown down the gauntlet to his
associates by his late report, there is a pros
pect that the people will learn some import
ant truths.
Hon. Phineas W. IIitcucock, who has just been
elected to the United States Senate to succeed
General John M. Thayer, whose term expires on the
4th of March next, was born in New Lebanon, New
York, on the soth of November, 1831. lie graduated
at Williams College In 1855, and, after studying law
and being admitted to the bar, emigrated to Ne
braska Territory, settling lu Omaha In 1857 and com
uniting there the practice of hlM prolusion. In
1FC1 he was appointed Marshal of the Territory by
President Lincoln, holrlirg that position until De
rrmbe r, ISMS, when he resl?ned, to tatco li's seat as
Territorial delegate In the House of Representatives.
Ills election to the Senate Is somewhat of a surprise,
as It wes generally thought that Oeneral Thayer's
chances for a re-elecilon were almost certain.
OrKR attoxs in TUB Noktb of Franck The pre
seiit operations of the Germans In the northern
districts of France cover pretty much the same
around which wai covered by the operations of the
Fnpllsh abont four centuries and a hair ago. Sir
Harris Mcolas, in his "History of the Battle of
Aglnconrt," has given a detailed account derived
from contemporary records of the expeditions Into
Frenrh territory conducted nnder Henry V and the
Karl of Shrewsbury In 1415. Among other things,
he has preserved tho "General Orders" both of
Henry and of Shrewsbury. It appears that the
Euglish army was attended by a regular commis
sariat. It was provided with Its own beef and beer,
and it exacted nothing In the way of contributions
from the Inhabitants except bread and wine. The
commauders "on payne of sru.vtynge of the head"
prohibited all outrage on women, wauton destruc
tion of property, and unnecessary bloodshed. It Is,
fcr example, ordered :
That no man be so hardy to tafce from no man
going to the plonth, harone, or cart, nors, mare,
nor oxe, nor other beste longinge to latnur
within the King's obejsaunce without lonlug and
bed Inge and grode the parije upon payne of death,
and that no man give none lmpedyment to no nun
( f labrur.
That no man foraie In the country anpatlsod, but
it be hayc, ottes, rye, and other necessary vilaillej,
nor that no man geve unto his horse no wherte nor
to gadrr none, but If it be only to make brede ot,
and If the B;iil forairs take any bea?talle for their
sustenance that they take reasonably and to make no
waste, nor for to devour nor destroye no vitailles,
and also that the salde forairs take nor stell no great
oxen, nc no inylelie keeno, but small b-astaile, a. id
that they accord with the partle upon the payne
alnresaldc.
That no maner of man bete downe housing to

Tdk Local Tbapk of the Northkrn Pacific
Eaii.koad. W. Mllnor Robert, Esq., Civil Engi
neer, in his special report on the route or the
Northern Tactile Railroad, expresses the following
opinion In regard to the prospects for local trade :
"I3ut a few years will be required after the comple
tion of the Northern Pacltio trunk line to secure
what may be termed local trade aud travel su indent
to sustain the road irrespective entirely of any
through business. The Territory of Montana,
already yielding more than ten millions or value an
nually, abounding In elements which must Induce a
largo population, will meet the opening of the road
with a very valuable contribution, while there can
not be a doubt that accompanying and following tho
construction of this line hundreds of settlements
will rapidly be made In the valleys of the Missouri
and Yellowstone on the east, and la the valleys of
Clarke's river and Columbia river on the west of the
Rocky Mountains. With respect to the local trade
and travel on the road along the lower Columbia,
and from the Willamette valley, concentrating at
the city of Portland, the population and business are
already there, only awaiting the opening of this line
to make the western end self-sustaining from the
start. I speak confidently on this point from per
sonal observ atlon."
