CS" The Evening Telegraph, from its original establishment, has been in the receipt of telegraphic news from the New York Associated Tress, 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 Irom this source. Last March wc entered Into a special contract by which The Evening Telegraph has the exclusive use of the news furnishad in the afternoon by the Associated Press to its own members, the North American, Inquirer, Ledger, rress, 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 litis city in which the afternoon despatches of the Associated Press wiil appear. if Tko earliest regular edition of Toe Eveninu Tkleokaph goon to press at 1$ o'clock, and the snbserinont regnlar editions at 2 J, 8A, and 4 J. Whenever there ia 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. 7T1E CA 77 TULA 71 ON OF PA ?'. The cable telegrams forwarded last nierht narrow down the surrender of Paris to a mere question of terms, and a definite acknowledg ment of the supremacy of the invaders is hourly expected. It is reported that Jules Favre proposes the capitalntion of Paris and tne garrison wltn the hoaors of war, but that Bismarck insists on an unconditional surren der and a conclusion of the whole war on German terms, under a threat that if these demands are not acceded to by the Provisional Government they will be granted by the Lonapartes, who, in turn, will be replaced upon the throne and upheld by German bayonets. This last scheme is turning the tables with a ven geance; and, if carried out, it will force France to drain the last dregs of the bitter cup she applied to German lips during the dominance of the First Napoleon. He put his puppets on various German thrones, meanwhile holding in a vice-like grip German fortresses and plundering vast districts of German territory; and now the dread alterna tive of submission to a similar fate is pre sented to the besieged, war-worn, hulf famibhed, half-frozen, and fearfully nutiorable citizens of Paris. France has no right, in the face of hor lamentable failure to succor or relieve Paris, to expect that its defense can be prolonged. Neither Washington nor lliuhuioud would have held out many weeks, in our war, if they had been isolated from supporting armies and deprived of the means of obtaining new supplies of food; and it is almost incredible that means for feeding a population of seve ral millions were in fact stored away in Paris in advance of the present disasters. Definite news of the formal capitulation may be received at any moment. The ouly remaining question is the effect of its downfall on future negotiations. The Ger mans desire, above all other things, to bring their long and arduous labors to a triumphant conclusion, while the French cherish a vaue hope that resistance ruiy be maintained, in some fashion, after their capital has beeu sur rendered. As Jeff. D.ivis hoped, after ho fled from Kichmond, and even after the armies of Lee and Johnston were lost, to got beyond the Mississippi and galva nize a iew rebellion there, so some of the French leaders hopo to continue the unequal contest on a new huouo nntil tUe patieuco of the invaders is literally exhausted. Put the Germans will not submit to this pro longation of the war if it is possible to bring it to a Hpeedy conclusion, and it roiuiitis to be seen how far Bisuiark will be able t j ex tract future German sife'y and soc irity from the existing misery and the a.vful dileiuuii of unhappy Paris. THE Vi'UlAC HL'JLIHXUS. Tut: auti-Penn Hquirtitcs hsve appiivn'ly not jet given up all hope of bdug u'jIo to dv foat the wishes of the people of PhiltLlp'iia by preventing the public buildings from being erected upon the site chosen for Hum at the election held last October. A bill was introduced yesterday in the S'ate House of Representatives explanatory of tie act of 1 it session, and directing that the publio build ings shall be erected upon one or in ire of the four Penn Squares and not upon the inter section of Broad and Market streets Mr. Smith the immaculate Bmith via quite certain that there had npt been a fair vote; the virluous Josephs dee'ared that in advo cating the original bill he had never up iwi It'.' it:.::a wvli Ls v.VsU'H'is?, .ui tho incorruptible Cloud insisted that the pen. pie had voted under a misapprehension. The people of Philadelphia were certainly as com. petentlast October to decidenpon themeritsof the pnblio buildings controversy as they were upon the merits of Messrs. Smith, Cloud, Josephs, and some other members of the dele gation from this city who are now endeavor ing to defeat their wishes; but because they erred in electing certain unfit persons to re present them in the Legislature, it does not necessarily follow that they did not under stand all the ins and outs of the ques tion of locating the public buildings. The Philadelphia members, in the face ot the vote of last October, could not make the country members see the thing in exactly the desired light, and Mr. Chalfant. of Montour county, appropriately remarked that as seven hundred thousand people had expressed their wishes by the ballot, no thimble-rigging should be allowed to thwart their desire. Mr. Miller, the introducer of the bill, and other Philadelphia members, were exceedingly anxious to have it referred to a special comniiiteo composed of them selves, but they were unable to accomplish this, and in the regular routine it was con signed to the care of the Commitee on Municipal Corporations. The individuals who distin guished themselves by advocating this impu dent proposition were Messrs. Miller, Elliott, Cloud, Smith, and Josephs. Its opponents were Messrs. Johnson and DumLoll, who, we hope, will keep an eye on their colleagues, and exert themselves to prevent them during the balance of the session from playing any such little game as that attempted yesterday. The people of this city understand this- whole controversy thoroughly by this time, and they know now, as they did last October,. that tho op position to", the Penn Square site comes entirely from property-holders in the neigh borhood of Washington and Independence Squares, who sellishly wish to defoat a great publio improvement in order thut they may be able to continue tho business of letting out offices at the most extravagant rate, to lawyers and others. By tho decision of the Supreme Court, the publio buildings cannot be erected upon any ground now owned by the city except Penn Squares, and all tho opposition to the site selected by the people is pure factiousness, that can achieve nothing for the benefit of those who are endeavoring to throw obstacles in tho way of the Building Commissioners. The public bnildings will undoubtedly bo erected at the intersection of Broad and Market streets, and it would be creditable to those who have been defeated in their desire to have them placed elsewhere to cease agitating the subject, and to avoid tempting the virtue of the weak brethren in the Legislature, especially as nothing can be gained by it. At a later hour of the session Mr. Johnsou introduced a bill to limit the cost of the pub lio bnildings to $f, 000,000, and to prevent the city of Philadelphia from being bound by any contracts for a greater sum. Such an act as this might not be injudicious, but the Legislature before passing it should find on t whether snch a building as is needed can be put up for the sum stated. If it can, well and good, but for the Legislature to fix tho cost of the public buildings by a hap-ha.ard calculation not based upon any but the roughest estimates, will only embarrass tho commissioners and do vastly more harai than good. T"E question of abolishing the income tax was up for discussion yesterday in tho United States Senate, and Senator Scott made an able argument against its further continu ance. Tho retention of the tax was argued for by Senator Sherman, who represents a constituency among whom hard cash is a scarce article, and who conse quently do not feel tho inconveniences of the tax as do the people of tho Eastern States. Senator Sherman advanced the rather pecu liar opinion that the arguments against the income tax will apply with equal force to the tax on sugar, tea, coffee, and other neces saries of lift-, thereby proving that he either does not understand or else that he purposely misrepresents the opponents of the tax. Senator Sherman ought to understand, if he does not, that the income tax is obnoxious not to much on account of the amount it takes out of the pockets of a very limited class of citizens, as for its in quisitoiial character. Notwithstanding the unpleasant features of the incoum tux, it was submitted to patiently by the people of the country so long as the Government needed the money, but it would not have boon sub mitted to with tho same cheerfulness if it had not been clearly understood that it should expire by limitation at a certain date. Its continuance at this time is, therefora, a piece of bad faith on tho part f Congress that can not be condemned in too severe terms, and we hope sincerely thut before the present session passes away tho people of the country will be relieved of a burden that they feel thty nro no longer called upon to bear. Miss IIevm'k statue f Mr. Lincoln was un veiled at the Capitol last night, amid music by the band and speeches by Sena torial, Supreme Court, and Congressional orators. It is delightful to read the assurance of a grave Senator ilat only a few years agoshe was a little giil employed in the Post Office at six hundred dollars a year, while now she has her woik publicly exhibited in the rotunda, after having received from an over-generous body of volers-away-of-tLe-public-money sufficient funds to piy for her entire art edu cation, to tire such uitistio aid as was neces sary to complete her work ten times over, and pay the expenses of a nice trip to Italy bcbidis. Art i a great thing; it deserves encouragement; und public money may often be worthily bestowed upon iti best products; but as there are at least ten thousand American girls who, under equally favorable circumstanecs, would become the peer of Vinnie Beam in the business of mou'ding statuary, we see no good reason for singling l ?Ut IvT 1!W UW'tl fiui fpeeijl In wards she has received. If the Capitol is to be adorned by statuary, let it be procured from the masters of the art, and not from pupils eduoated nt the pnblio expense. IlON. Jaiik K. Pr.uiy, who died In Washington on tke 84th lntant, was once a prominent politician In anuthern Pennsylvania. He represented Frank lin county several years In the Legislature, and In 1848 was elected to Congress over Hon. Samnel Hepburn, of Carlisle, by a clever majority. Subse quently he became a clerk In one of the ilepa-t menta at Washington, which continued until his death. NOTICES. Economy should he practiced by everybody in ail things. One dollar expended now In purchasing a bottle of Jar ne a Expectorant, by those troubled with a slight Cough or Hoarseness, or Bora Throat, may save the expense of a doctor's bill. A neglected Cough often ends In Consumption. A slight inilam mation of the lining of the wind tubes, the nsnM symptoms of which are a Sore Throat and a Pain la the Breast, will soon lead, through want of atten tion, to Bronchitis. A day s delay may entail months of suffering. Let the afflicted try at once Jayne's Expectorant. It Is a standard remedy, and Its curative properties have bee a tested by thousands of persons who have recovered tliclr health by its use. Sold by all Druggists. Tins bkavy snow stokm will give thousands in this city bad colds, especially if ihey are bilious. Now, the best plan is to go at once and buy a box of Sciiknck's Mandrake Pills, and clean out the liver and stomach. By doing this now It may save hundreds from consumption. Let everybody go to morrow and buy a box of these wonderful rills, and take a big dose. SKATING PARKS. Qll EfNUT SI R ELT.SK AT IN U KlNK.TWENTY. T11IKD AND CUES NUT STREETS.
