$2T 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 reseived
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 oily evening
paper published in this city in which the
afternoon despatches of the Associated
Press will appear.
TUB miLADRLrillA COMMISSIONS.
Notwithstanding the indignant protest of
the Republican State dnlral 0 muaittee
against tke proposition to ere. te a batch of
new commissions for the government of Phi
ladelphia, and the disfavor with wh ch this
project is regarded by fair-minded men of
all parlies, it is by no means certa n that the
conspirators against the people hve yet
abandoned their nefarious scheme. The only
safe ground to take on this subject is to op.
pose the creation of new commissions of a ay
description or for any purpose by the Legis
lature. Such a body should be
prohibited by the Constitution from naming
persons who are tt exercise important and
continuous executive powers, and it is against
the whole theory of our Government that
they should dare to exercise m b. extraordi
nary functions. We had far better permit the
Legislature to name our M .yor than allow it
to designate who shall control either our
Highway or Water Departments; and if the
precedent is fairly set of handing over this
city to the control of any set of men
who are despicable enongh to be
pimps of the Legislature or riou
enough to buy it, every vestige of locil self
government in other portions of the Com
monwealth may gradua ly bo swept away.
The evils to which unbridled and unchecked
commisbion government gives rise are fear
fully illustrated by the present position of
New York, where four or five men sport at
will with the welfare and treasure of a great
city. Their leader, Tweed, wields sovereiga
power through his influence over the Legisla
ture; and after having secured the passage of
enactments that entrench him and his favor
ites in positions of the utmost importance,
he is constantly endeavoring to fortify an i
extend the domain ruled arbitrarily by him
self and his fellow-usurpers. The foundation
of a similar system has been laid here, an1
it will be the saddest day in
the history of Philadelphia when
progress is made towards the completion of
what cannot fail to be an edifioe of
despotism. Year after year legislative inter
ference in purely municipal affairs has in
creased, on giod and sometimes on bad pre
texts, until now we are threatened with the
sway of a series of legislative juntas. The
people of the whole State would not tolerate
for a moment the idea of permitting the
Legislature to decide in whom thd executive
powers of the Commonwealth should be
vested, nor would the people of any interior
county permit the Legislature to appoint for
them such officials as County Commsssioners,
and the instinctive aversion to such
an arrogation of power is strengthened when
ever it is subjected to the tests of reason aad
experience. Happily for the State the Legis
lature has been entrusted with the eleo
tion of but important State official, the State
Treasurer, and thii power has been so cor
ruptly and unwisely exercised that the whole
Commonwealth cries out for its removal from
bands that are manifestly unfit to exercise
it. The Legislature has also been
entrusted with the task of eleoting
members of the United States Senate; and in
this matter, too, it has, t time and again,
brought shame and reproach upon its indivi
dual members and the State. The people, as
a body, may make some bad mistakes, but
they are always animated by better and purer
motives than their legislators, and in nearly
every case they would elect better looal offi
cers than the Legislature would appoint. We
protest, therefore, against the prinoiple of
permitting the Legislature to designate by
same commissioners who ar to be endowed
with executive powers, whether th'yare to
act for Philadelphia or for any other section
of the State. The Legislature has the right
to make laws, but no right to say who shall
exeoute them; and if it confined itself to its
legitimate duty of moulding useful IegiuU-
tion, it would go far to recover some of the
publio respect which it is so rapidly losing.
A NEW VllKNCll 11KVOLUTTON.
It Is not impossible that the housekeepers of
this country tuny be gainers by the terrible
war that bHR just come to an end in France,
an the destitution which now exists, and
which niUHt continue for a long time among
the laboring clauses, will rnot likely induce
many of them to emigrate to the Tinted
States. Neat, tidy Frenchwoman, with the
talent for cookery which i. aupp sed to be a
national trait, can have their pick of the bost
homes in Amerioa, aui they will have it in
their power to commence a revolution of the
first importance in our dome-ttio affair.
Respectable Frenchwomen who will be will
ing to do kitchen and honiework will be
certain of a cordial welcome in all parts
of the United KU.b-H, and the day of tht
'beatbeu Chioee" a the presiding genius of
the culinary depart uieut of the Auierioan
household will be indefinitely po-ttponed.
It is not creditable to American women, when
no many of them are chuuriu for work,
that there shonld be such a difficulty in ob
taining good household servants. K'tchen
and chamber work in a respectable family is
not as ardnons, is better paid, and is far
more reputable than many of the means of
subsistence to which women who are com
pelled to earn their living are fre
quently obliged to resort on accouut
of their false pride. A worn in
who can perform the duties of a household
servant, and who refuses to do so beo-tuse her
employers will not invite her into the parlor
o aid in the entertainment of their visitors,
is really deserving of but little sympathy; and
the advocates of womau's rights could per
form no better xervice than by encouraging
their weak sisters to swallow their pride and
accept cheerfully employment that will give
them support if they do their duty.
THE GERMANS IN PARIS.
The New Y'ork Wrld, and in its following
all the extreme sympathizers with Frauce,
are indulging ia unmitigated abuse of the
Emperor William, because of the alleged
severity of the terms of peace dic
tated to France. "It is," says the
World, "unworthy of a great and
magnanimous peop e, like the Gerinus, and
confirms the general opinion of the haughty
arrogance of Bismarck and the despotic self
ishness of his imperial master." But the par
ticular poin- on which the French sympa
thizers 1 y the greatest stress is the oo m
pation of Paris "a trivial thing," in the eyes
of the Wor d, which "can bring no advan
tage to Germany, and tends to exasperate a
brave and sensitive people." The ocoup ttion
of Paris, however, was so strongly instate 1
upon by the victors, that President Thiers,
in his proclamation, says the Government
was able to secure an extension of the
armistice only by consenting to it. There
was a great deal of bluster on the eve of the
occupation. Paris, having failed to repel the
besiegers during the investment of the city,
was determined to do something when the
enemy was actually withiu the enceinte. Like
"Young Gosling" in his enooanter with "Fox
Fowler," the women and the urchins clamored
for rifled cannon, and swore a solemn oath to
annihilate every German who ven'ured to
pass the walls. The mob unearthed a hun
dred disabled guns and a score of broken
down mitraillent-es, and bung and drowned a
half dozeji policemen, to show that they
meant business. And then, when the grand
moment for action came, they listened to
wiser counsels and betook themselves to the
churches. So the victorious Germans filed
into the capital yesterday morning at ten
o'clock, and, as far as the despatches have
gone, not a son of the Fatherland was mo
lested. The do-to-others-as-y ou-would have-others-do-unto-you
policy is, after all, the best
policy, aside from all the scriptural injunc
tions by which it is enforced. It is, more
over, as applicable to nations as it is to indi
viduals. No community which habitually
disregards it can seeure permanent prosperity.
But there is a class of persons to whom it is
impossible to extend it. The desperate
criminal, on general principles, must be
made an exception to the rule, and the nation
which places itself in a position of causeless
antagonism to its neighbors must be so detlt
with as to be convinoed tint its evil courses
can not be indulged in with impunity. France
rushed into the war against Germany without
a decent pretext. The ory, at the outset, was
"On to Ber in!" Napoleon started it, it
is true, but all Franc 9 took np the
menace, and echoed it with enthusiastic
energy. If the French had succeeded ia
penetrating to the Prussian capital, they
would not have hesitated to follow the ex
ample of the First Napoleon after Jena.
Berlin would have been occupied, without re
gard to the sentimental, opposition of iU
burghers, without a thought of magnanimous
forbearance, without the slightest tincture of
generosity towards a fallen foe. Bat the
French did not get as far as Berlin, and the
Germans did reach the walls of Paris. If
they bad turned their backs upon the city ou
the declaration of peaoe, they would have
done a generous and magnanimous deed; but
France would have given them no credit
for so doing. The omission to parade
their victorious columns on the Champs
Elysees would have been laid at the door of
cowardice. To convinoe Frauce, and above
all to convinoe Paris, that the Germans had
the best of it, the partial occupation of the
capital was even more necessary than the
cession of Strasburg and Metz. Powerless in
the grip of the victors, France has been made
to pay exemplary damages in the grand Ger
man" pageant which took place yesterday.
She has siiuply suffered the punishment
which, as a convicted criminal among the
nations, she fully and riohly deserved.
Whether her acgressive propensities have
been eradicated or not by the humiliation and
suffering which they have entailed upon her,
time alone can develop. Certainly she has
been shorn of her strength and deprived of
Ler power for mischief for many years to
J come; and to convinoe her that such is the
case, the occupation of her capital will go
further than the complete rout of her armies
And the material modification of her frontiers.
She needed a wholesome lesson, and if sho
but profits by its teaching, she will have no
cauFe to complain that she was spared nothing
that was neoessary to render it thorough and
exemplary.

IN THE LEO Iff LA TURK.
Mil. Dechebt yesterday, in the State Senate,
followed in the footsteps of the jocular Nagle,
and introduced a bill to regulate the ereotion
of the publio buildings. His proposition is
to do away with the present commission, and
to create a new one to consist of the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court, the presiding
Judges ef the Court of Common Pleas and
District Court of Philadelphia, and the
Attorney-General for the time being. Ex
actly what good is to be obtained by this
arrangement we are unable to see, and
although Buch a commission might be unob
jectionable, provided the judges and the
Attorney-General had plenty of leisnre to
superintend the preparation of plans and the
ereotion of the buildings, there really is no
occasion whatever for the constitution of a
new Board of Commissioners, as the present
board proposes to carry out in an eminently
satisfactory manner the expressed wishes of
the people. Mr. Dechert and the other
Philadelphia members of the Legislature
ought to know by this time that the wild talk
of the Bulletin on the publio buildings ques
tion does not in any manner represent the
opinions of a majority of the people of Phi
ladelphia. Before the October election the
Bulletin was perfectly confident that Wash
ington Square would be chosen as the site of
the publio buildings by an immense majority,
for the good and sufficient reason that the
Bulletin building i-t located on Chesnut street,
above Sixth. The citizens of Philadelphia
were unable to see the matter in the same
light, and ever since the election our hitherto
amiable contemporary has entirely lost its
amiability, and has been so completely upset
"by the actual result ef the election that it has
not been ab'e to recover its balance. The
Bulletin predicted that the Washington
Square site would be chosen, and it warned
the voters of the awful consequences that
would follow if the publio buildings
were not located in the neighborhood of the
Bulletin building. Notwithstanding the pre
diction and the fearful warnings of the Bul
letin, however, the voters of Philadelphia ac
tually chose the Penn Square site by an over
whelming majority. Such a total want of
regard for the desires of the Bulletin was too
much for our contemporary, and it could only
account for the result of the election on the
theory that the voters had been hocus-pocused,
hoodwinked, blinded, and driven like
dumb cattle to the polls by a gang of terrible
conspirators known in the Bulletin office as
the "Penn Square ring." The consequence
of all this is that the Bulletin can scarcely be
considered as a trustworthy authority on the
publio building question, especially as the other
papers which opposed the Penn Square site
have candidly admitted their defeat and have
accepted the situation, or else have preserved
a dignified silence on the subject. In view
of all the facts of the case, therefore, the best
thing Mr. Dechert and the other members of
the Legislature can do is to allow the present
Board of Commissioners to perform the duties
entrusted to them without interference, for if
the public buildings are built in accordance
with the wild notions of those now oppos
ing the plans of the commissioners, they will
excite the derision of every stranger who
visits Philadelphia, and will be anything but
matters of pride to our citizens either in the
present or the future.
Saclpbiey is in a sanguinary mood. He
thirsts for gore. He wants to wade knee
deep in blood. Like the slothful man, he
fays there is a lion without; but, unlike the
slothful man, he has no fear of being slain
in the streets, ne proposes to meet' that
ravenous beast, to discomfit him, to rend
bim, even as the beast is desirous of rending
Saulsbury. It is needless to say that "the
eyes of Delaware" are on both Saulsbury and
the lion. Perhaps it would, under all the
circumstances, be advisable for the lion to
withdraw, and permit Saulsbury to inaugu
rate a Democratic President in 1872, in case
a Democratic President should chance to be
elected by a fair vote.
It is refreshing to a Philadelphian to read
in the reports of the proceedings of the
United States Senate yesterday that a Ver
mont Senator denied that in the acceptance
of League Island as a gift the Government
had bound itself to establish a navy yard
there, and that an amendment to the naval
appropriation bill which appropriated $200,000
for the removal of the working portion of the
Philadelphia navy yard was laid on the table.
The Republican Senate is doing its best to
treat Philadelphia with obloquy, and to re
ward ber steady adhesion to the Republican
party with the greatest possible amount of
. cold and contemptuous neglect.

A CARD FROM MR. JOHN MAY KR WHY HE
HAS NT OPENED HIS REff STORE.
I am constrained to take this method of informing
my patrons, friends, and the public In general, that
the delay In opening for business at my five-story
marble building on North NINTH Street, above
Arcli, Is not caused by financial embarrassments, as
some may have supposed. The delay Is altogether
owing to an encroachment by parties owning the lot
southward, adjoining mine, who have a portion of
their wall on my ground. The encroachment ques
tion caused a litigation, which is now pending In
the Court As scon as It Is decided, and my rights
respected and the encroached wall removed, I shall
complete my new store and occupy it at as early a
date as possible.
Builders should exercise great caution In the erec
tion of new properties, so as not to encroach on
their neighbors' lots, and thus avoid uapleasant
suits at law.
