THE 1)AILY EVENING TELEGRAl'lI--PHJl.ADELPlii A. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1871. THAT RAILING. ItleLrt; Hreeml Homebody Derelict la Uuiy. Bom three weeks ago, as U well known, the Tailings enclosing I'enu Squares were taken down and pilrd along the sidewalks. They have Temalned in that position ever since, exposed to the depredations of thieves, who, by-the-by, have not neglected so fine an opportunity. If another three weeks elapses before the railings are re moved, nni it Is not unlikely, the city will either ceglect to enclose the squares for which tne old railings were designed, or have an op portunity to buy new ones for thee enclosures. The dimensions of the railings on Pena Squares were 4400 feet, 2557 of which were to be' placed around the Parade Ground, and the balance to go to the adornment of Falrhlll Snuare and other places. In order to show whether the Commissioner 'Of Markets and City Property has complied with his duty or not, we present the following ordi nance of Councils on the subject: "Section 1. Th 8elect and Common Councils of the city or Philadelphia do ordain, That whenever the Iron railing enclosing Penn Sqaares shall be re moved by authority of the Board of Commissioners for the Erection of Public Buildings, the Commis sioner of Markets and Ulty Property Is authorized and directed to have the same removed to a suita ble place of safety, for the enclosure of the Falrhlll Square, In the Nineteenth ward, and the Parage Oround In the Twenty-sixth ward, and two hundred feet of Iron railing for school-house southeast cor ner of Eighth and Thompson streets, Twentieth section east, and three hundred and fifty feet of Iron railing, gates and posts, for school lot southeast cor ner of Seventh and Dlckerson streets, First ward, and four hundred and fifty feet of iron railing and a pair of gates and posts for school-honse, Mont gomery avenue, above Richmond street, Eighteenth ward, and for the carrying Into effect this ordinance the sura of five hundred dollars Is hereby ap propriated to the Department of Markets and City Property."

In order that the operations of the Police De partment, so far as its energy in the fulfilment of Its important duties is concerned; and that at one glance a person may discover when a crimi nal was arrested and what disposition was made of his case in the courts, the Mayor has had pre pared a formidable volume, in which Special OUicer Snell, who is skilful in the calligraphic art, makes all the proper records regarding the disposition of offenders.

Maguire held his peace for a while, but in the meantime sent around to the station-house. Lieutenant Leech started with a squad of men. but by the time he arrived at the saloon the roughs had departed. The Lieutenant how ever, kept watch on the place, anticipating a return of the ruffians, and in this conjecture he was correct, for the young men returned in about a half-hour's time, and, on being refused admittance, smasnea in tne door ot the tavern. hurled a paving-stone through the window, and commuted otner acts oi an equally violent cha racter. The officers sallied out upon them and succeeded in taking three of the number into custody, iney were arraigned before Alder man Clark, and each held in $800 ball to answer. ineir names are Stephen Morad.

A despatch from Paris to day states that the disaffection manifested on the announcement of rhe proposed entry of the Prussian troops into Paris has not extended very considerably among the people. The Demonstration made on Sunday by the troops and National Guard were confined to a few soldiers. The Dectaion of the National Anvembly is anxiously looked for, and great fears are ex pressed that the counsels ot the Left may pre vail and the terms of peace meet with a rejec tion that will complicate peace prospects. IiOul Itlane and Gambettn. are opposed to the acceptance of these terms. A number of Bonapartist, agents are in Paris, and will favor the rejection. The Prussians are evidently PreoarlnaT for a t'ontlnaencv of this kind. Bismarck is known to be opposed to the entry of the troops. If a collision should occur between the people and Prussians.it will be made an excuse for putting the city under mar tial law. Thin Afternoon's Quotation. London. Feb. S V30P. M.

Mr. Cnalfant, of Montour connty, presented a pe tition signed by two thousand citizens of hit conaty. In favor of a law regulating tolls oa anthracite and bttamlnons coal, and made a long and earnest speech in favor of the measure. He spoke of the prostration of the Iron and coal Interest, and ot the thousands of workmen who were likely to be sub. Jected to famine, as well as the suffering that wonld follow among the poor In the great cities. These things would all be caused by the extortions of the coal carrying companies. It was certainly within the power of the Legislature to compel the great corporations to treat the people fairly. If, however, this power had been lost, it only showed how reckless had been the legislation of the past and that the law making power had followed the example of the German student who had created a monster to read Its maker, lie concluded by introducing a second petition from 634 citizens of Schuylkill county, of tne same Import as the first.

Mr. Kills, of Schuylkill, said it was alleged that the railroad companies had increased their rates for the purpose of making them prohibitory. If this was so the object was a malicious one, aud not war ranted by the law. He proposed to direct the Attorney-General to Issue a quo uarranto to ascertain whether the com panies had exceeded their rights. The subject was then dropped for the present. Mr. Smith, of Philadelphia, offered petitions, nu merously signed, In favor of the passage of a local option liqnor lav.

Mr. Pawes called up his motion to recnnnMM- thn vote whereby the omnlbns bill was tabled yesterday. He remarked that yesterday was an Instructive day. He thought that all of them had learned something yesterday, and that the officials who recommended appropriations tor new puono ouuoines had also learned something, lnose official who had felt disposed to make the Committee on Appropriations occupy the position of obstrnctlonlBtst In regard w me pnuiiu wurKs nna ineir any yesiernny. They had not occasion to complain that the com mittee had not presented their views fairly to the tionse; tne uonse naa acoeptea tnose views with wonderful unanimity. From the vote on Saturday against the Ineffectual efforts of the com mittee to stay the commencement of new pnbllc works, it had seemed to the committee that anv further opposition would be unavailing. By a two- tniras vote yesteraay every new public work asked ior was, ny tne uonse, inserted in the bin, and after doing so the House had shrunk from Its own work and strangled Its own offspring. (Langhter.) He had moved an appropriation for the purpose of giving the House an opportunity to retrace Its steps ana w uuau toe worn wnicn it nan aone yesterday. He bad no argument to make, no new position to assume, nothing to qualify. He had been at ail times opposed, In the present position of the publio treasury and of the public burdens, to give money to the commencement of any pnbllc works which the public necessities did not demand. He proposed now, If the House reconsidered the vote, to move a substitute for the 'bill, omitting all the appropria tions for new buildings, except as to the League Island Navy Yard, and that exception he would make not through favor to that proposition, but on account of the large vote of the House given on Sa turday in lavor oi it. Mr. Mayham remarked that that vote was no more decisive than the vote on the Albany Post Office. Mr. Holman moved to lay the motion to reconsi der on the table. Negatived 54 to 152. The vote was them reconsidered and the motion to lay the bill on the table was rejected. Mr. Dawes then moved as a substitute the original bill with all the appropriations for new works omitted with the exception of the League Island Navy Yard. Mr. Ambler moved to strike out the Item or 1200,000 for League Island. Mr. Cobnrn protested against the sudden Ot of economy which appeared to have seized the mem bers In relation to new pnbllc works, the aggregate expense ef which was shown by the estimate to be only f 3,300,000, while the House was voting three millions for the Boston Post Office and five millions for the New York PoBt Office. The substitute omits the following items : To pay the State of Massachusetts for coast defenses; seve ral Items for the Washington aqueduct; six millions to Indemnify Slates for war expenses ; f8so,ooo to pay for horses and other property lost in the mili tary service of the United States ; for new Govern ment buildings at Trenton, N. J., St. Louis, Mo., San Francisco appraisers' stores, Washington printing office for the Treasury Department, Hartford, Connecticut; Albany, New York; Nash ville, Tennessee; Grand Rapids, Michigan: Port Huron, Michigan; La Crosse, Wisconsin; Qulncy, Illinois; Indianapolis, San Francisco, Hos pital on Angel Island ; Helena, Montana; Mont gomery, Alabama; Little Rock, Arkansas; Pa.lucah, Kentucky : and all that were inserted by way of amendments to the bill. It contains the following amendments adopted by the House: Appropriation of 160,000 for Little Falls Bridge; Increasing the compensation of Vlnnle Ream from S&ooo to f 10,000; Increasing the appropriation for the survey of tho Western coast from 1200,000 to f 240,000; appropria tion of f 176,000 for continuing the survey of the Northern and Northwestern lakes. It contains, of course, the appropriations for the New York and Boston Post Offices. The question was first taken on Mr. Ambler's mo tion to strike out the appropriation for League Isl and Navy Yard. The appropriation was not stricken out yeas, 91 ; nays, 104. The substitute was then agreed to yeas, 103; nays, 98. The bill was then passed yeas, 112; nays, T3. The Speaker appointed Messrs. Sargent. Beck, and Clark, of Kansas, the conference coiaralttee on the Indian Appropriation bill, and Messrs. Dawes, Washburn, of Wisconsin, and Nlblack the confer ence committee on the Legislative Appropriation bill. Mr. Logan moved that the rules be suspended, and that the Honse agree to a conference committee on the Southern Pacltlo Railroad bill. Mr. Rant'all preferred that the House should in sist on its amendments to the bill, by which the Senate land grant of 26,000,000 acres was reduced to 13,000,000. Mr. Logan said that he. too, much preferred the House bill to the Senate bill, and had so voted, but that it was certainly an act of courtesy on the part of the House to agree to the conference asked by the Senate. Mr. Randall Does the gentleman think it Is an act of court sy on onr part to give away 13,000,000 acres of public land additional 1 Mr. Logan That Is not the question. The only question is whether the House will aocord a com mittee of conference. My own opinion Is that that Is the only way that the bill can be got through at this session. I think that the Senate is perhaps as axed In Its opinion as the House Is In its own, and that there should be some kind of comity between the two houses. My own notion is that It is better for those Inte rested in the bill and who desire its passage to have a oommittee of conference than to take any other position at this time. Mr. Banks said there would be no objection to the course proposed by Mr. Randall, If there were time to carry It into effect, but there was not time to get a return from the Senate on the question of its re ceding from its disagreement to the IIouss amend, ments. The House has agreed to a conference committee on the Southern Pacltlo Railroad bill ; also on the Post Office Appropriation bill. rpiIE REV. DR.
