FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1871.
EST 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
paper published in this city in which the
afternoon despatches of the Associated
Press will appear.
sT The 'earliest regular edition of Thx
Evening Teleobaph goes to press at 1
o'clock, and the subsequent regular e litions
at 2$, 8, and i. "Whenever there is im
portant news of the progress of the Euro
pean war, extra editions will be issued after
this hoar, and before the regular time for the
early edition.
NEW DOCTRINE OF THE DEMO
CRACY. At a reoent meeting of the Americas Club,
a social Democratic organization of this city,
William T. McOrath, oa being installed as
President, gave bis fellow-laborers in the
Democratic ranks some wholesome advice.
Instead of dwelling, as is the general custom
of political orators, upon the principles of
the party, he directed attention to the neces
sity of nominating good men, and good men
only, as candidates for office. Principles
are good things, and it is to the credit
of this nation that its great political
struggles are made to hinge on com
prehensive doctrines. But the commendable
national proclivity to dignify petty, ambi
tious, and partisan nqnabbles by surrounding
them with the halo of a noble cause may
easily be, and in hundreds of thousands of
cases it has been, fearfully abused. The
veriest scoundrel in the land m y profess to
be the most rampant Republican or the most
devoted Democrat; and partisan organiza
tions, as they are managed, afford far too
many opportunities for scoundrels to gain,
through such professions, official opportuni
ties for plundering the people. Voters have
so often been told that they should
care for principles, not men, that
they have ceased to pay proper regard to the
neoessity for selecting good candidates or
good appointees, and for having the Govern
ment administered by good men on good
principles. The modern tendency is to
wholly ignore the maxim of the founder of
this Commonwealth, that that form of govern
ment is best which is best administered; and
as a consequence of neglecting it, the evi
dences are multiplying that rascals can pros
titute the best forma to bad ends, and
perpetrate, under republican institu
tions, the most outrageous wrongs. We
are glad to see, therefore, a leading Demo
crat, in addressing a strict partisan organiza
tion, warns his associates that, as a matter of
policy, if not of duty, they must pick out
their beBt men, instead of their worst onus, as
candidates for office, Mr. McGrath foroibly
reminds them that "it is worse than idle to
make nominations unfairly, or select unfit
candidates ;" and that "people who, by
patient toil and the exercise of rigid economy,
have acquired homes for themselves and
families, will not confide the agency of their
property, or the guardianship of the interests
of their families, to thowe in whose ability or
integrity they have no confidence." Those
are simple but truthful and useful delara
tions, and the time is near at hand when the
people will act upon them. They are weary,
oh, so weary, of giving one incapable robber
a chance to pilfer their hard earnings beoaa.se
false professions of devotion to Demooracy
drop from his lying lips, and a chance to rob
and ruin them to another venal sooundrel
because he prates of his Iiepublicnnisin, and
the perpetually repeated devices of plunder
ing politicians to lure them on to ruin will
soon lose all their old potency.
Thb scheme concocted to rob the Kensing
ton Bank last night is one of the most ingeni
ous and audacious that ever entered iuto the
brain of a professional burglar. We have
heard of soldiers donning the uniforms of
their antagonists to effect a surprise in war,
but it is something new, in this latitude, at
least, for robbers to gain entrance into a
bank on the pretext that they are policemen
detailed to guard it from spoliation. Verily,
wolves in sheep's clothing abound among as.
JOHN CESSNA AND THE CllOItP EN
NINO CASE.
Mr. Crkswell, the Postmaster-Qeneral, has
published an explanation, setting forth that
bis award in the Chorpenning cane, by whioh
an ex-mail contractor and his accomplices
came near getting more than $100,000 of
money that was not justly due from the Gov
ernment, was made solely in consequence of
an act of Congress hastily rushed through at
the heels of the last session. The authorship
of that aot is attributed to John Cessna, one
of the Republican membors of Congress
from Pennsylvania, and we have looked in vaia
for an explanation of his motives in opening
the door of the National Treasury to the
Chorpenning raid. Congress, as a body, has
atoned for its error by repealing the law that
made such extraordinary concessions to the
ex-mail contractor; the Postmaster-General
has explained his aotion by asserting that he
was bound to obey the law as he found it on
the statute-books; and the question now
comes up, Why did the innocent and guileless
Cessna seek the sanotion of his amiable
associates for such a questionable enactment?
It seems to have been generally supposed,
a few days ago, that he would explain his
part in this proceeding, but we are not aware
that any explanation has yet been made or
even attempted, and meanwhile Cessna's
course is subjected to damaging comments.
Was he the innocent victim of the delusions
of a wily contractor ? or did he, with full
knowledge of the effect of his proposition,
wantonly connive at the nnjust abstraction
of the people's money?
THE SOLDIERS' ORPHANS.
The State Senate yesterday passed a bill to
transfer the care of the schools for soldiers'
orphans from a separate superintendency to
that of the Common School Department. This
change is advisable for many reasons, for
the expediency of the arrangement now exist
ing has been open to many grave doubts from
the very institution of the schools for soldiers'
orphans, and their management has given
rise to such complaints that some action on
the part of the Legislature is imperatively
demanded. Mr. Brooke in advocating the
bill yesterday stated that nearly a year ago
the Superintendent of Soldiers' Orphans,
Colonel McFarland, had been rejected by a
very decided vote, for very satisfactory
reasons, but that the Governor had failed to
appoint his successor, and he had ac
cordingly remained in an important
and responsible position for whioh
he was entirely unfitted. Mr. Brooke, to de
monstrate the necessity of a change, related
how the schools for soldiers' orphans were
managed in his district, and how the care of
the children was farmed out by those en
trusted by the State with the duty of super
intending their welfare. Mr. Wallace also
made a strong argument in favor ef the pro
posed change, and stated truly that the use
fulness of the superintendent had ceased and
that some of the schools had become odious.
That Colonel McFarland is not a proper per
son to occupy such a delicate and responsible
position as that of superintendent of soldiers'
orphans is certain; but, as a matter of course,
he had his defenders in the Senate yesterday,
Mr. Mumma in particular being very pathetio
over the fact that he had been maimed at
Gettysburg. It is certainly high time that a
stop was put to the praotice of bringing np
the war records of men in extenuation of their
incapacity or dishonesty while occupying
offices of publio trust. We never yet under
stood that a wooden leg was a guarantee of
virtne, and the people of this State are not to
be induced, by references to Colonel McFar
land's wooden leg, to believe that he is
a proper person to hold the position he
now does, not by any proper authority,
but by the refusal of Governor Geary
to do his duty in appointing a sucoessor. By
transferring the soldiers' orphans to the School
Department Colonel McFarland will be legis
lated out of office, and there is no doubt that
the orphans are likely to be better oared for
in the future. The House of Representa
tives ought to pass the Senate bill without
further delay, and thus put an end finally and
forever to a system that has already outlived
its day of usefulness, if it ever had any, as
separate from the School Department.
THE BOARD OFPUDLIC CIIAR1TIE3.
A communication from President Kane, of
the Board of Publio Charities, asking for an
investigation by the Legislature of the differ
ences between him and his associates on the
board, has been presented to the Legislature,
and we hope that it will receive proper con
sideration. There is a radical difference of
opinion between General Kane and the other
members of the board as to the proper
method of executing the important and re
sponsible duties entrusted to them, and un
fortunately these differences have led to con
siderable harsh language, which should have
been avoided if possible. The two
opposing foroes in the board
both insist earnestly that they are
in the right, and present faots and figures to
prove the positions they taKe. It is very
possible that both may be in a measure right
and wrong at the same time, and as it is cer
tain that the efficiency of the board is
seriously impaired if not altogether destroyed
by the present unfortunate differences, the
proper course for the Legislature to adopt is
to give all sides a fair hearing and then to de
cide impartially upon the merits and demerits
of the various matters in whichthey are
antagonistic We believe that the members
of the Board of Publio Charities,
without exception, are inspired
with an earnest desire to carry
out ia the most perfect manner
possible the objects for whieh the board was
created, and it is therefore the more unfor
tunate that the present unhappy state of
affairs should exist. General Kane claims
Le can prove by facts and figures that he is
in the right, and he should be allowed an
opportunity to do so, the other members of
the board be'Bg accorded likewise a fair op
portunity to demonstrate the correctness of
their views. Considering the high standing
of all the members of the botrd, this will be
a very proper method of settling the quarrel
between General Kane and his associates, and
it should teceive the attention it deserves
from the Legislature.

Over the Ment.
The Legislature of Texas has seen fit to pre
sent the Benato of the Forty- second Congress
with the novelty of a contested eoat. The re
construction of the Stale was fully completed In
March, 1870, and immediately thereafter the
Senators and Representatives elected were
admitted to their seals. Hon. Morgan C.
Hamilton 7s elected Senator for the term of
six years commencing March 4. 1871, as well as
for the remainder of the term ending on that
day. It is now claimed ty his opponents that
his election for the long term was illegal, and
in this opinion the Legislature of Texas appears
to have coincided, by going through the pro
cess, on January 21, of electing another person
for this term. The law regu
lating the election of Senators provides
that the Legislature of each State chosen next
preceding the expiration of the term for which
any Senator was chosen, shall proceed, on the
second Tuesday after its organization, to the
election of a Senator to fill the vacancy about
to occur. When the reconstructed Legislature
of Texas met last winter, it therefore pro
ceeded to elect a Senator for the vacancy to
oceur on March 4, 1871. as well as for the un
expired terms, and, as there has been no elec
tion of a Legislature in the State since that
time, its action would seem to have been in
accordance with the forms of tho law. The
Legislature of Mississippi last winter acted in
similar manner, by electing Governor James L.
Alcorn to the Senate for tho term commencing
March 4, 1871, at the same time that Revels
was elected for the short term. Wbat action
the Senate will take in the contest over the
Texas scat remains to te seen.
Tho election of a successor to Senator Hamil
ton took place on January 24. In tho Senate
General Joseph J. Reynolds received 16 votes, to
11 cast for four different opponents. In the
House General Reynolds received 48 votes to 25
in opposition. The nomination of General Rey
nolds by the Republican caucus took place on
the previous evening. On the first ballot he re
ceived but 7 votes out of a total of 58, and his
nomination iras not secured until eight or ten
unsuccessful ballotings had been held.
General Reynolds Is a native of Kentucky,
and is now about fifty years of ago. In early
life he removed to Indiana, and was appointed a
cadet at the West Point Military Academy from
that State in 1839. On July 1, 1843, he was
breveted a second lieutenant in tho 4th Artillery,
and in May, 1846, transferred to the 3d Artillery,
being promoted in March, 1817, to a first
lieutenauty. From August, 1316, to August,
1847, he acted as an assistant Professor of Ethics
at the Military Academy; from 1847 to 1849, as
Profesf or of Natural and Experimental Philoso
phy; and from the last date to February,
1857, as an assistant professor. He then re
signed and retired from the military service.
He re-entered the Eervice, however, on the
outbreak of the war, and served throughout the
struggle with distinction, at first as a brigadier
general, and subsequently as a major-general
of volunteers. His princlpM eervice was with
the Army of the Cumberland, In which he served
as a division commander, taking a prominent
part in tho battle of Chlckamauga. At the dose
of hostilities he re-entered the regular service,
being commissioned colonel of the 26th Infantry
on July 28, 1866, and breveted a major-general
on March 2, 1867. After holding a command in
the Northwest General Reynolds wa, on July
28, 1868, assigned to the command of the Fifth
Military Di.-trict, consisting of the State of Texas
only, with bis headquarters at Austin. He was
relieved of this command on November 4th fol
lowing, but again assigned to it as successor of
General Canby, on March 5, 1869, immediately
after the inauguration of President Grant.
General Reynolds assumed his command on
April 8th, and the reconstruction process pro
ceeded quietly and successfully under his super
vision, until it was completed by the restoration
of Texas to representation in Congress in March,
1870. At the time of tho election of Senators,
General Reynolds was urged to follow the
example of General Ames in Mississippi, and
consent to represent the State in the Senate, but
in February, 1870, declined the proffered honor,
on the ground that his residence of three years
In the State had been iu the capacity of a mili
tary officer, and that his convictions of right
and sense of propriety precluded the acceptance
of any political office at that time and under the
peculiar circumstances then existing. It is not
yet known what course he will pursue, now that
he has been actually elected a Senator, but it
would seem that consistency demanded another
refosal of the Senatorship.
Letters received in Baltimore from Colonel
Jerome Patterson Bonaparte, elded son of the
late Jerome Bonaparte, of that city, said that on
the 10th of December he was at Comberrie,
about five miles from Paris, on the railroad to
Versailles. The Baltimore American says a
letter was received there last week representing
that a Major Patterson, of Baltimore, connected
with the Bonaparte family, was a prisoner of
war at Brunswick, Germany.
