THE PUBLIC BUILDINGS QUESTION.
To the Editor t The Bvnimj Teh graph.
We hare seldom read A greater amount of
simple twaddle than Is contained in the protest
- addressed to the Commissioners of Public Build
ings against the erection of buildings at the in
tersection of Broad and Market streets. Many
of the signers of this paper are among onr most
respectable citizens; but, if ther read this re
markable document before affixing their signa
tures, and coincided in all its fearful statements,
their reputation for common sense will
be greatly impaired. The idea that the
erection of handsome buildings at
the Intersection will have the effect of -driving
travel from both Broad and Market streets for
"generation," and of "retarding, perhaps
forever" (though we can scarcely see
how anything can be retarded forever)
"the development of that splendid avenue"
(Broad street) Is positively ludicrous. The pub
lic buildings, In their new location, with their
widened avenues around them, instead of "ob
structing" would invite travel, and would do
more. for the Improvement of Broad street than
Anything yet attempted.
But, If our memory serves us, some of the
signers of this flaming protest are the very per
sons who applied to the Supreme Court for an
injunction to prevent the erection of buildings
on Fecn Square at all, ou the remarkable
ground that it was unconstitutional so to do,
although it was notoriously a matter of history
that William Form himself intended Penn
Square for just such a purpope.
They harassed the Building Commission with
legal proceedings intended to overturn alto
gether the designs of the Commissioners, and
now, when defeated by the decision of the Su
preme Court, have the effrontery to write a
letter of advice to the same Commissioners to
4'imprcs upon them the necessity of reconsid
ering tl.iir action 1" And, in the face of the
fact that the "argument" of the Washington
Square advocates was directed mainly agtinst
the Intersection, and that huge posters were
everywhere displayed showing Broad and Mar
ket streets as hopelessly blocked up, this letter
of advice coolly tells the Commissioners that if
it had beeu known that the buildings would be
erected at the intersection the vote of the peo
ple would have been different, and that the
result would have probibly been "ia favor of
Washington Square." Here our colored brother
begins to peep from under the wood pile, and
we see that this letter is b it another devise of
the disappointed but untiring partisans of the
rival locality, and that our venerable but
deluded townsmen's signatures are used for this
ulterior purpose.
The Commissioners, however, will scarcely be
frightened Vy this protest. Eminently respecta
ble citizens of our Little Pcdllngtou have a way
of protesting against public improvements. We
have not forgotten that names of highest weight
and influence were attached to a protest against
the Introduction of gas into Philadelphia; while,
comparatively lately, the same misguided fogies
protested against passenger railroads on our
principal streets, and predicted the certain ruin
of CbeBuut street if ft track should be laid
therein. We are happy to know that many of
these gentlemen have lived to see and acknow
ledge their mistake. These signers will proba
bly live to see and acknowledge theirs. When
the buildings are erected, according to the plans
determined on, people will wonder how they
conld ever have made such an absurd oppo
sition. K. W. C.
FROM PERU.
The United
States Nqundron la the Houta
Paclllc.
From Our Oion Correspondent.
Callao, Jan. 23, 1871.
The United States steamer Resaca, Com
mander Green, left this port on the 10th iustant
for Panama, under steam, to assist the survey
ing expedition In their explorations for a canal
route across the Isthmus. Commander Thomas
II. Eastman, who was recently relieved from
the command of the gunboat Nyack, was sent
as a passenger under charges for trial by court
martial npon his arrival in the United States.
The charges are of a very serious character.
The United States sloop-of -war Jamestown,
16 guns, Commander W. T. Truxton, which has
been so long expected from the North Pacific,
got in on the 17th instant from Honolulu via
Tahiti, forty-three days from the latter place.
Reports having had excellent weather, but was
obliged to go as far south as 43 deg., where it
was quite cold; all well. Commander Gherardl,
of Philadelphia, who had been waiting here
several months, relieved Commander Truxtn
Immediately, and the latter will go north in the
, next steamer. It is generally understood here
that Commander Truxton was relieved of his
command on account of the assault he ordered
on the American Consulate in Honolulu last
SeDtembcr. Surgeon J. E. Gillespie, who is
also a Pennsylvanlan (from Chester county),
has been detached from the store-chip Onward,
and will go north to-day on sick leave.
The Oeslpee, late of the North Squadron, it
flue from Pan Francisco in February, also the
Mohican from Guayaqul. The veteran Com
modore McDougallwlll then transfer his flag
from the Jamestown to the Oaslpee, and make a
tour of the coast. The Jamestown was to have
gone south at once, but ehe is in such bad con
dition that It was found necessary to put her
in the dry-deck, and it is possible that she will
be condemned by survey and sent to San Fran
cisco for new decks, epars, etc. She has been
in commission only about two years, but has
done very hard service.
LIVERPOOL AND CALLAO.
The Royal Mall steamer Araucaugao, iron
bull and brig-rig, came in from Liverpool, via
Valparaiso, on the 20th. She has a full cargo.
This line, the longest perhaps in the world, Is
regarded as a great success.
POLITICAL AND INDUSTRIAL.
At Lima and In the Interior all is quiet. As
no revolutionary symptoms occurred during the
late absence of President Balta at the railroad
celebration In Arequlpa, it is believed that a long
period of peace and prosperity is before "las
Peruanas." The railroad mania seems to gather
strength, and new routes are constantly being
projected.
MUBICAI, ETC.
Carlotta Patti, now due from Valparaiso, Is
the musical sensation. A French opera is per
forming in Lima, and a Spanish troupe alter
nates between Lama and Callao.
H. M. S. Chanticleer is still in port, and the
Zealous, flagship of the British fleet, will be due
from the south coast next month. a.
MUSI CAI AftP PH A. 51 ATI C.
The Vltv Ainaaemnta.
At the Walnut the present week will be
devoted to benefit performances, which we hope
will receive a proper amount of attention from
. v a. nl.llr
TLe annual benefit of Mr. T. J. Hemphill, the
businebS manager, take place this evening,
when Tom Taylor's comedy ot Still Wafer Run
lerp and Kouclcanil s drama of J fume rtmwn
Will be presented. Mr. Hemphill is an able and
efficient manager, and the prosperous condition
of tbe Walnut Is an evidence of his ability In
catering for the public. During the present
season be has presented a number of first-class
attractions, which have crowded the theatre
with audiences composed of the fashion and
intelligence of Philadelphia, and as a recogni
tion of his services there should be a full attend
ance this evening, especially as the bill for the
occasion is an excellent one.
The other benefits will be as follows: To
morrow evening, Mr. W. H. Bailey; on Wed
nesday, Mr. Lewis Morrison; on Thursday, Mr.
C. W. Bradshaw; and on Friday, Mrs. Charles
Walcot. Each of these actors presents an ex
cellent bill, which will merit the regards of the
pnblic.
AT tbb ubesnct toe spectacular drama ot
The Old Man of the Mountain was verr suc
cessful last week, crowded audiences being In
attendance every evening. It will be repeated
until umber notice.
On Wednesday there will be a matinee per
formance for the benefit of the Holland testi
monial fund, when Tlie Honeymoon and The
Loan of a lxver will be represented. We hope
that the public will cordially aid In making this
affair a brilliant success.
On Friday evening Mr. Joseph C. Foster, the
anthor of The Old Man of the Mountain, will
have a benefit.
At the Arch Stnbad the Sailor will be per
formed this evening.
attde AirsKUM, Ninth and-Arch streets, a
new comedy by E. H. Welabarr, of this city,
entitled Clc-Clc, will be produced this evening.
At the Assemblt Building the wonderful
two headed girl and the other living curiosities
win be on exhibition every afternoon and even
ing dnring the prccent week.
at the American a number of novelties are
announced for this evenimj's performance.
lUEODonn luoMAsand bis grand orchestra.
assisted by Miss Anna Meblig. will give two
grand concerts at the Academy of Music ou
Wednesday and Thursday evenings next. In
consequence of tbe great demand for tickets for
these entertainments, it has been determined to
sell reserved seats in the family circle. It may
not be amiss to state that for hearing orchestral
music the.-e feats are really the best In the house,
although tliey are not so fashionable as those in
the lower tiers.
The Annual Ball of the Amerlcus Club
w ill come off at the Academy of Music this
evening. The gentlemen having' charge of this
affair have beeu making great exertions, and
this ball promises to be one of the most enjoya
ble of the season.
TnE M.ENNEKCHOR annual bal masque will
take place to-morrow evening at the Academy
of Music. The ball will open with a grand spec
tacular procession, which will present a great
number of new and interesting features, and the
whole affair will probably surpass any of the
brilliant entertainments given by the Mnenner
clior In former years. One-half of the proceeds
will be devoted to the relief of the sufferers of
the Franco-German war.
