HT The Evenino 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 rost, 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 wc 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 Paper published in this city in which the afternoon despatches of the Associated Press will appear. W The earliest regular edition of Tax Evening Tklegbath goes to press at 1.J o'clock, aiid the snbseqneut regular e litinns at 2$, 8$, 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 narly edition. "l'EXNSYL VAN J A JUHT1CK." Home of the most influential journals in the country have commented with appropriate severity upon the recent grant of a pardon by Governor Geary to Richard Ficken before he bad been tried and convicted of the infamous crime of which he was guilty, and, an may bo supposed, their remarks are not at all com plimentary to the Pennsylvania laws which render Buoh an outrage possible, or to the bigh odioiala who were concerned in the affair. The people of this city and Htuto should clearly understand that Governor Geary, Attorney-General Brewster, Messrs. William 1$. Mann, Lewis 0. Cassidy, and all others who interested themselves in pro curing this pardon for Ficken, are guilty of the grave offense of compounding a felony, and are themselves liable to trial, conviction, and punishment. Geary's utter word lessness was plainly made known long before the last Gubernatorial election, but in spite of energetic protests from those who had the interest not only of the State but of the llepublicfm party at boart, he manuged to obtain a renomination and re-election. The people of the State are, therefore, responsible lor him, and they share with him the disgrace which attaches to such a scandalous attempt to defeat the ends of jnstioe as that in which he recently, only too sttcceshfully, engaged. On our seoond page will be found a pungent article from the New York Tribune headed "Pennsylvania Justice,' which wa are ashamed to say is every word of it true and doscrved. We especially com mend the concluding paragraph of this article to the serious attention of our readers, as it contains a suggestion of the very highest importune?. The 'Iribune asks 4'If the Gov ernor has this apostolic p wor of pardon bo fore trial, why not before the act ' Why not Bell Inda'g-noes to any sugar dea'er with a trustworthy bank account and an idiosyncracy for winging little boys on his door stepi '" Why not, indeed? Governor Geary has gone to torn x reme lengths in the exercise of the pardoning p wer, and, so far as we can understand, there is nothing whatever to hinder him from g isg a step farther and peddling out pardons in advance to whoever may be inspired with a fancy for indulging iu violations of the la ws, especially if snllieiont i nducemcnts should be held out to him. The Evening lliUetiu a few days ago, ooiuiueot ing upon the Ficken case, said that it fully ' 'justified the pungent criticisms of one of the ablest jurists of Pennsylvania, who re ui irked upon this case, a day or two ago, 'Gov ernor Geary has reduced the quantity of por tions, but he hiH not improved the quality.' " Wa distinctly remember that tho flt'. Utin, both before and aft or Ihe last Gnbern torial election, hotly contended that the manner in which G nry Lad exercised the pardoning p j.ver wa the best part of his record. Geary's sooond term, however, has beei more than enough even I or the liu 'Win, and we siueerely congratu late our con'rnipomry on the fact that it has at length begun 'o discover what manner of man the individual is who disgraces the Chief Executive chiir of the State of Pennsylvania, and we sincerely hope that the Fiukeu case will convince not only the Jlulletinhul dot en t luen of all parties that Geary is not a proper person to be intrusted hereafter with any pabii: :2I;: of iwaox fir rcftt. FQ UNI) TAN G JlOSri TA l,. It im a matter of great surprise that a city so richly endowed with benevolent institutions as Philadelphia should be destitute of found ling hospitals. This omission or neglect Is constantly causing not only indescribable dis tress, but an immense nnmber of fearful crimps. Tho trials of infanticide or abortion cases consume a largo portion of the time of our conrts, and scarcely hss one charge been disposed of before others follow in its train. Meanwhilo there are good reasons to believo that for every case brought prominently before tho public, there are dozens which never become noto rious; and it would scarcely be an extravagant calculation to assume that there is at least one baby-murder per day in Philadelphia. We may be told that in extreme cases of poverty and destitution the Almshouse is open, but the statistics of that establishment fthow that only an infinitesimal fraction of its infants survive the perilons stages of baby hood. Thero is, therefore, really no publio institution to which destitute infants who are practically motherless can bo safely and conveniently intrusted in Philadelphia. The life and well-being of young humanity are dependent solely upon motherly care or the attention of immediate relatives, and when those helps fail as fail they do and will in thou sands of cases, either through the poverty, the ignorance, or the disgrace of the mother the temptation to commit the fearful crime of murder becomes in many cases overpower ing. We read of baby murder in China, of the massacre of infants in India, of the right exercised by the beads of ancient families to destroy feeble offspring; but we are too apt to close our eyes to the fact that here, in the midst of ono of the most highly civilized and Christianized communities on the face of the globe, similar horrors are of daily occurrence, and that there is a powerful tendency to go from bad to worse in the matters referred to, instead of advancing from bad to better. The exislenco of the evils under dis cussion is as palpable as their enormity, and little by little pnblio sentiment is becoming ho debauched that baby life is losing much of its wonted sacredness. Despite the requirements of the law, the com munity is not disposed to sanction the exe cution of a woman who is convicted of the murder of her new-born child; and the gene ral acquiescence in the pardon of Hester Vanghan affords a good criterion of current publij Hentiment. A feeling of pity for women placed in her unenviable position pervades many humane hearts; and the chief matter of regret iu that this feeling is not carried one step farther, so that a tender regard may be practically manifested for destitute young infants as well as for dis tressed mothers, and that the awful tempta tions to child-murder which now abound may be eliminated from our social system. The effectiveness of well-conducted foundling hospitals in diminishing the crime of infanti cide lias been tally demonstrated in no.rly all the civilized capitals of the world; and if tho objection is urged that thev tend to en courago immorality, it should be suflicient to reply that they avert the most fearful forms of crime, and in checking ehild-wnrder richly atono for any real or imaginary evil influuuee attributed to them. Whatever else may happen, child-murder should be stopped in our midst, and ex perience has proved that it cannot be stopped by tho existing preventive and punishing agencies; whilo the example of other large commnnities demonstrates that foundling hospitals go far to supply u complete remedy. Dr. Franklin said that nothing was so useless and bo help' ess as a new-born infant, and yet it contains the developed germ of all human goodness, all human gentleness, all possi bilities of human achievement. We have gone on trusting its guardianship and nour ishment solely to motherly instinct and pater nal affection; but the fact grows hourly more palpable that in many cases these motives furnish but a weak and insullicient safeguard, and that consplete dependence upon them results in a long succession of infanticides. Charitable organizations or the State cheerfully extend assistance to nearly every form of afflicted or fcnfl'ering humanity. The poor, the crip pled, the blind, the deaf and dumb, the sick, the insane, can all bo well cared for, but there is no safe refuge for children whoso mothers wish to shift their burden upon stronger shoulders, and there is no conve nient means provided for the innumerable cases in which the mother desires, for obvious reasons, to conGda her child to publio keeping. The Almshouse, as a last resort, is opou, but it does not serve in an eflk-iunt manner any of the dusirod ends. Thero is a pressing need that a fonadling hospital should be speedily established in this city, where all infants would be re ceived, no questions be asked, and first-rate care extended to every inmate; and it is vain to expect that infanticide- will grow less fre quent before such an institution is in success ful operation. TJiU JNVOMU TAX. Tiik National Skxatr yesterday did itself credit by passing the bill for the abolition of the income tax. The vole was a close one, yeas to ''." nays, but as the bill passed, we care very little about tho suiallness of the majority in its favor. The action of the Senate was undoubtedly due in a great mea sure to the energotio advocuey of tho repeal of the obnoxionstax by Senator Scott, who is entitled to the cordial thanks of all who feel it to be a burden they are not culled upon to Lear in tho present prosperous condition of the finances of the, Government. Senator Scott argued forcibly agtinst the continnanoe of the tax, and he demonstrated with such clearness that it was both obnoxious and un necessary, that the Senate could not but give his presentation of the case a respectful con sideration. There is no doubt but that the House will concur with the Senate in repeal ing the income tax if the matter can be brort 9 ft Yvte before the end of the ses sion. It is to be feared, however, that if the bill is referrd t the Ways and Means Com mittee, the influenco of Secretary Boutwell will be able to prevent a report boinjj made nntil too late for action. The House ef Re presentatives understands the whole aubjoot thoroughly, and at the last session itf decided to repeal the tax, bat failed to obtain the con currence of the Senate. There is no reason, therefore, why the bill passed yesterday by the Senate should not be voted npon at once in the House, without any reference to com piillee; and we earnestly entreat th mem bers to lake action immediately and relieve the people of the country of a tax that is not required for the revenues of the Government, and that is now, as it ever has been, a most unmitigated nuisance, that would never have been submitted to except under circumstances that demanded unusual sacrifices from ovary patriotic citizen.
