- MONDAY, FEBRUARY 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 ol
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.
The earliest regular edition of The
Evening Texeobaph goes to press at 1
o'olook, and the subsequent regular editions
at 2, Z, and 4). 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.
TEE COMMISSION SCHEME. '
The originators of the scheme to revolution
ize the government of Philadelphia by
plaoing several of its most important depart
ments under the absolute control of commis
sions, cherish Buch lively hopes of acquiring
power and plunder that they are evidently
determined to make desperate efforts to in
sure its indorsement by the Legislature. No
pains will be spared to allay the fears of the
pnblio by holding out a delusive promise that
good men only will be placed on the commis
sions, sor to seoure the support of Repre
sentatives and Senators of both parties by
promises that their friends shall be
taken care of by the commissioners. To
echeming modern partisans there is no suoh
fat goose for plucking as a great city, and
no plan for plucking cities, for heaping upon
their tax-payers enormous burdens, and for
extracting the very life-blood from honest
and laborious men, can equal in cunning and
practioal success the commission system.
Where the people are left free to act, either
by their votes for Couaoilmen or for differ
ent officers, they can interpose obstacles to
any extravagant or ill-judged soheme at every
Btage of its progress; but after their hands are
tied by commissions, all protests and remon
strances are vain, and they are unoonsoiously
plunged into expenditures amounting in the
aggregate to millions of dollars, a large per
centage of which finds its way into the pockets
of scheming partisans, or serves to create a
corruption fund out of which bands of loafers,
repeaters, shoulder-hitters, blaokguards,
blacklegs, thieves, and bummers are paid to
carry delegate or general elections, and to
bring ruin and reproach upon republican
government. The condition of the commission-ridden
city of New York proves
that we have not overdrawn this pic
ture. She has gone on from bad to
worse .. until frand and corrup
tion taint her whole muuioipal
government, and until a degree of rotten
ness pervades every department, from turret
to foundation stone, which has never been
equalled since Sodom was destroyed for her
iniquities. What a Highway Department
might beoome, in the bands of a corrupt
commission, it is impossible to predict, but
in New York it has been used as an engine
for extorting millions of dollars from tax
payers, for which not a tithe
of honest or useful service was
ever rendered the plundered money
being divided betweea the big thieves who
run the machine and the gangs of roughs and
loafers who keep them in power. What a
Water Commission might be made in the
hands of sleek but unscrupulous men is in
dicated by the crazy projects that have been
(Suggested from time to time for bringing
water to the city from extremely distant
points They would involve the expenditure
of many millions of dollars, and the lor g
continued employment of thousands of work
men; and if the disbursement of such large
Bums an I the employment of suoh large bodies
of men are vested in a little knot of
favorites of the Legislature, who can doubt
that suoh power would be fearfully abused ?
As to a Tax Commission, they have one now
in New York, and the press of that city teems
with complaints of its gross injustice in fix
ing valuations upon the property of different
citizens, its favorites being assessed for saun
far below the proper amount, and all the rich
men of the city having a rod held over them
by the perpetual threat that if they dare to
lift a finger against the robbers of the ring
they must pay a penalty in an increase of
their tax-bills.
As the Legislative soheme pending at Har
risburg would combine control over the
Water, Highway, and Tax Departments, and
probably other branohes of the city govern
ment, in a batch of commissions created
simultaneously, which would probably aot in
harmony their aggregated power would well
nigh insure absolute control of the entire city.
Even the protection furnished by Councils
would be nearly if not entirely destroyed
for the commissions would exert an in
fluence powerful enough to nominate and
elect Councilmen devoted to their interests
and the people Would be so nearly powerless
all their munioipal elections would be suoh
miserable and unmeaning faroes that there
would be little hope for relief by any process
short of a revolution, and an uprising that
would purge the community forever of the
whole race of would-be local tyrants.
STAFF RANK IN TMS AR31T AND
THE NAVY.
Dubino the controversy that has been carried
on with regard to the claims of the staff
officers of the navy to positive rank, muoh
has been said about the difference that exists
between the positions of the staff of the navy
and that of the army. The following extracts
from the "Aot to increase and fix the mili
tary establishment of the United States,"
approved July 2G, 18GG, will show how the
law stands in the matter of staff rank in the
army:
"Section 17. And be It further enacted, That the
medical department of the army shall hereafter
consist of one surgeon-general, with the rank, pay,
and emoluments of a brigadier-general ; one
assistant surgeon -general, with the rank, par, and
emoluments of a colonel of cavalry; one chief
medical purveyor and Ave assistant medical purvey
ors, with the rank, pay, and emoluments of lieutenant-colonels
of cavalry : sixty surgeons, with the
rank, pay, and emoluments of majors of cavalry;
one hundred and OUy assistant surgeons, with the
rank, pay, and emoluments of lieutenants of cavalry,
for the lirst three years service, and with the rank,
pay, and emoluments of captains of cavalry after
three years.
"Section 18. And be It further enacted, That the
pay department of the army shall hereafter consist
of one paymaster-general, with the rank, pay, and
emoluments of a brigadier-general; two assistant
paymasters-general, with the rank, pay, and emolu
ments of colonels of cavalry ; two deputy paymasters
general, with the rank, pay, and emoluments of
lieutenant-colonels of cava.ry ; and sixty paymasters,
with the rask, pay, and emoluments of major of
cavalry.
"Section 19. And be It further enacted, That the
corps of engineers shall consist of one chief of
engineers, with the rank, pay, and emoluments of a
brigadier-general; six colonels, twelve lieutenant
colonels, twenty-four majors, thirty captains,
and twenty-six 11 rat and ten second lieutenants,
who shall have the pay and emoluments now pro
vided by law for officers of the engineer corps."
General Sherman, when appealed to by
Admiral Porter for his opinion oonoerning
staff rank, said emphatically that the above
mentioned arrangement worked well in the
army. If it works well in the army it will
also work well in the navy, for the naval staff
officers ask nothing more nor less than the
same rights and privileges that are enjoyed
by their army brethren. The bill introduced
by Mr. Stevens, of New Hampshire, which
was passed some weeks ago in the House of
Representatives by a large majority, places
the staff officers of the navy upon precisely
the same footing as those of the army, and if
it becomes a law it will put an end to a dis
graceful squabble and make it worth while
for educated gentlemen to enter our naval
service as surgeons, engineers, and pay
masters. The Senate Naval Committee, however, at
the promptings of a clique of arrogant line offi
cers of which Admiral Porter is represents
tive,have altered this bill so that if it passes in
its present shape the staff offioers of the navy
will be practically in the same position as they
are now, and will be at the mercy of their
brethren of the line. It is obvious that the
dissensions which now disturb the harmony
of the navy and which greatly impair its effi
ciency . cannot be remedied in this manner.
The passage of the bill as reported
by the Senate Naval Committee
will have the effect of driving a large num
ber of the staff officers from the servioe in
disgust, of preventing educated gentlemen
from entering any of the staff oorps, and of
indefinitely prolonging a contest that should
have been closed definitively long ago. The
staff officers of the navy would stultify them
selves if they accepted this Senate bill as
satisfactory, and it is the duty of the Senate
not only to consider publio sentiment in this
matter, as expressed by nearly every journal
from one end of the land to the other, but to
do impartial justice to a deserving class of
officers who are essential to the efficiency of
the navy, and to put an end to a system that
has brought anything but credit upon the
navy. ,
The announcement of the safety of the
United States steamer Tennessee and her
arrival at San Domingo city will be received
with feelings of congratulation throughout
the country, especially as the anxiety hitherto
excited with regard to her had begun to
deepen into positive alarm. There do not
appear to have been any real reasons for the
excitement that has been oreated concerning
the Tennessee, and the explanations given by
the authorities at Washington as to the why
and wherefore of the non-report of her safe
arrival at her destination have been satisfac
tory. No measures were taken to have
a report of her safety sent to the nearest
telegraph station, and as the communication
with San Domingo is infrequent and irregu
lar, in the natural course of events news of
her would be Blow in coming. As it was, the
intelligence of her safety was brought by a
vessel which only touched at San Domingo
incidentally, and it may be Borne days yet ere
we hear anything of her through a regular
channel of information. w9 are sincerely
glad that all apprehensions with the regard
to the Tennessee and the passengers on
board of her have been removed, and we are
especially glad that a new man-of-war, whioh
has been constructed at an immense expense
to the country, has not proved herself to be
unseawortby under circumstances whioh
would tend to increase the prejudices that
already exist against the management of our
naval affairs.
Therk is great reason to fear that the in
come tax will not be repealed at the present
session of Congress unless a great pressure is
brought to bear upon our Senators and Repre
sentatives. There is a majority in favor of
the unconditional repeal of this tax in both
branches of Congress, and the whole affair
would have been settled weeks ago if the
House and Senate had not got into a squabble
over their respective rights and privileges.
Now the near approach of the nd of the
session and the accumulation of work will
stand in the way of bringing the bill repeal
ing the tax to a vote. In this position of
a if sirs, would it not be well for some of our
leading capitalists and others to address to
our representatives in Congress, or to the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, a brief
statement of the most important reasons why
tfce income tax should be done away with
without further delay? Suoh an address
would not fail to receive the respectful atten
tion of Congress, and it would be an im
portant aid to those who are endeavoring to
have xthe tax abolished.
OBITUARY.
General Jhn B. Mnarnder.
The ex-Confederate General John Bankhead
Magruder died at Galveston, Texas, on Satur
day. Born in Virginia, in 1810, he entered the

brevetted a lieutenant-colonel for his conduct
at the battle of Chapultepec, In which he was
wounded.
At the outbreak of the Rebellion, in 1861, he
was on duty at Washington, where there was
for a time every confidence in his loyalty. He
soon left h's post, according to his own account,
after duly notifying President Lincoln; it being
asserted by others, however, that his departure
was unannounced, and made after a solemn
assurance that he would remain at his post and
be faithful to the flag under which he had
fought so long. lie proceeded to Richmond, where
he was at once made a major-general, and ap
pointed to the command of the peninsula of
Virginia. His campaign was unsuccessful, and
he was sent Soutb, remaining In command of

has devoted some time to lecturing and acting
as an Insurance agent.
