4 THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1871. (Anting Iclcfltaitli WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1871. ME COMMISSIONS. From the indignation manifested by then sands of the citizens of Philadelphia at the infamon-i proposition to bind them hand and foot as the submissive slaves of a few legis lative favorites, it is clearly apparent that the passage of the Commission bills, in their pre sent shape, will utterly destroy" the ascend ancy of the Republican party in this mnnioi phlity. No IUgistry law, no Metropolitan Police Coiuu iHsion, no amount of oorrnption in the canvass or of cheating in the returns, can nave a pnr'y whiou repays the confidence of a confiding con stituency by robbing it of the last semblance of local Kt-lf government and by fastening npon it a f et of merciless cormorants. It is unfortunately too true that many minor legis lat ve outrages have been quietly submitted to, I nt the indignation that has so long been pent up cannot possibly be restrained if the legalization of petty pilfering is tt be succeeded by the authorization of gigantio robberies and the in u rsement of a scheme whioh will make Pi. il oVphia tax-payers glad to exchange their lot with that of the most oppressed citizens of the most tyrannical country on the face of the globe. The Republican party is nomi nally a prtyof freedom, but if it endorses the Commission bills now pending at Ilarrisbnrg, this pretense wil. be such a flaunting lie that thuueai da and tens of thousand of Philadel phians who have hitherto voted Us ticket will seek the restoration of righteous rule and revenge by joining any organization that promises to bruise the heads of the slimy Berpents Republicanism has nourished in her bosom. Too long, oh, too long ! has a mighty municipality suffered itself to be deluded, betrayed, outraged, aud wronged. No fu'ure event can be more certain than that it will rise in wrath as sweeping as the whirlwind against all who are actively con cerned in the greatest and most fatal of all betrayals. As a party of freedom, Republi canism was supported by Philadelphia; as a party of the worst form of local slavery, it will be annihilated. As a party of patriotism and purity, it commanded the support of tens of thousands of honest voters; es a party of plunder, and as the serviceable instrument of T eed, the most notorious and most unscrupulous of Democratic partisans, it will deserve the in dignant condemnation of every citizen who has not lost all self-respect, all love of local self-government, and all coufidenoe in the ability ef the American people to regulate their own affairs. If it is the deliberate in tention of the Legislature to give a fatal stab to the Republican party of the city and State, it oan devise no better or surer means for attain ing that end than by passing the Commission bills in their present Bhape, having them signed by the Governor, and putting their commissions in full blast, so that tax payers may see at once how voraciously Kiug Stoiks can devour them. Republicanism will then be crushed; taxation on city property will be come so onerous that popu ation will be driven awy, and its growth and prosperity be fearfully impeded, and the people, forced to choose between absolute ruin and such a local popular uprising as has never before been witnessed on this continent, will find means to strike terror into the seared souls of the legislators who are plotting against them, and all their aiders and abet tors. TAMMANY RULE IN PUILADEL MIA. It is becoming a serious question with those who are watching the course of events in this country whether we are not approaohing a point when the able-bodied tax-payer will feel compelled to let his factory, his ware house, his machine shop, or whatever indus try may engage his immediate attention, to take care of itself, and seriously to devote himself to the task of creating a radical re form in the trade of politics. The tax-payer (foresaid, for the sake of being permitted to attend to his individual business without let or hindrance, has hitherto been oontent to allow politics to take care of themselves, and to submit to be plundered to an indefinite amount rather than to worry his noble soul in the task of selecting fit persons to make laws for him. The natural conse quence of this is that the profes sional politician, the individual who snakes it his business to regulate the business of other people, has waxed fat and haughty, and, having plundered in a comparatively small way without serious opposition for a considerable period, he has now concluded that wholesale robbery is just as easy, just as safe, and a great deal more profitable than petit larceny. Things have come to such a pass at the present time that our large and wealthy cities are considered as legitimate ob jects of plunder by conspirators who seek to ' control the machinery of the political parties, and through it the elections by whioh they fill the executive, the legislative, and judicial offioes of the government with their crea tures; and there has as yet been no effeotive resistance to a system of tyranny which, un like most despotisms, has not even the merit of outward dignity, but which is nothing more nor less than old-fashioned highway mansbip legalized. New York is an example of a city bound hand and foot by iniquitous laws which have placed it absolutely at the mercy of a gang of thieves, and yet, with all the results of Tam many government before our eyes, there are men who claim to be honest and respectable who advocate the Tammany system for Phila delphia, and who profess to believe that it will be beneficial to take the government of the city of Philadelphia out of the hands of Its own citizens, and to place it in those of a series of absolutely irresponsible and all powerful commissions created by the Legis. Ifcture at Harriaburg. If Tammany extends its sway, as it is attempt! ag to do, and cr 1 ries its theories of government to their legiti mate conclusion, but one end oan be reached, and that is revolution. The able-bodied tax payer will some time be goaded beyond en durance, and the Boss Tweeds of the day wi l w nd up their careers by swinging from the lamp-posts. "We yesterday published the three bills which have been introduced in the Legisla ture for the creation of a Board of Publio Works, a Board of Water Commissioners, and a Metropolitan ToMce Board for the city of Philadelphia, nd we hope fincerely that they have bern caref ally perused by thofle of our readers who have their own or the publio interests at heart. These bills are all of a kind, and if that creating the Board of Publio Works is the most objectionable, it is only because it affords the greatest opportunities for unlimited and unchecked plunder. This bill gives six individuals absolute control of all the highways now opened or to be opened in the city of Philadelphia, with the power to alter, regulate, grade, flag, curb, and gutter, and also to purchase, control, and use all material connected therewith; also the right of repairing and constructing publio roads and bridges; also the control of all . publio buildings and property not already in charge of other commissions; also the right to fill up, level, and clean sunken and other lots; also, control of public sewers and drainage, and the construction and re pair thereof; also, control of the paving, repaving, and repairing of streets, and keeping the same in order; also, control of the clean ing of the publio streets, roads, and alleys. The board is made the sole and absolute judge of the propriety of any works whioh it may think proper to carry on under this act, and all the citizens of Philadelphia will have to do in the mutter will be to pay the bills when the commissioners order them to do so. The board can open new streets when and where it pleases, and pave them in whatever manner it pleases, and it is made absolutely obligatory upon Councils to levy a tax sufficient to meet all the demands which the board may make upon them, without asking questions with regard to their propriety. The bill contains no provision whatever to limit the action of th board in miking contracts, but it nifty commence new publio woiks of the most elaborate and costly kind, and give the contracts to any' one, without re gard to the lowest bidder. It is not obliged to advertise for proposals, or to give the pub- I lie any information whatever with regard to its doings, it is not necessary for us to ad vance any arguments against an arrangement of this kind, for no half dozen gentlemen should ever be entrusted with the powers which this bill will confer upon the proposed Board of Publio Works. We repeat again that this and the other commission bills are desigLed solely for the purpose of allowing a riDg of operators to fill their individual poekets at the expense of the publio, and all the arguments that may be drawn from the imperfections of our present system of muni cipal government can afford no extenuation for a grand scheme of plunder which will re duce Philadelphia to the same pitiable con dition as New York. The fifth section of the bill gives the Board of Pnblio Works the right to determine with what material the streets shall hereafter be paved; and when any other material than cob ble stones is need, the board ia authorized to issue bonds to any amount, to bear six per cent, interest, and to run for thirty years. It 1b xoade the duty of the Receiver of Taxes to add to the tax rate annually an item sufficient to pay the interest of the bonds, and to raise one-thirteenth of the said bonds eaoh year, to provide for their payment at maturity. The city of Philadelphia is already groaning be neath an immense burden of debt, and the tax-payers may well tremble when such a pro position as this is staring them in the faoe, especially as section sixth makes it the duty of the beard to cause the streets, lanes, and alleys laid out in the publio plan to be opened, and to pave, curb, and culvert such of them as they may deem necessary, upon tendering to the property-holders npon such new streets, alleys, and lanes the bonds of the city of Philadelphia executed by the board. Ilere is a job of the most magnifioent dimensions, and it is for the purpose of per mitting certain politicians and their friends who are anxious to get rich in a hurry to do eo, ax d for no other purpose whatever, that this and the other commission bills have been proposed. This whole scheme is so ntterly in famous that we are disposed to say that the tax-payers of Philadelphia will deserve their fate if they do not enter an energetio protest against it, and inform the Legislature in clear . and unmistakable language that the outrage will not be submitted to for an instant, and that the commissioners will un dertake to execute their functions at their individual peril. On our fifth page we give the opinions of the Ledger, Inquirer, and Age of this morning npon this subject, and we commend them to the careful perusal of our readers. The time has now oome when the battle between the able-bodied American tax payer i nd the professional politician ought to begin in earnest, and tht re can be no doubt as to which will win the victory, if men who have the most interest in the proper adminis tration of publio affairs will only do their duty as citizens of a professedly free country. LJON. A. O. CATTBLL. At the very nd of the last session of Con gress an appropriation was made for com mencing the work of preparing League Island for a great naval depot, and when the work is once fairly started it will oertainly go on, and a great national enterprise in which the citi zens of Philadelphia have a particular interest will be satn-factorily consummated ere many years. The opposition to League Island was extremely bitter, and the antagonism of the advocates of rival Bites, with the general in difference that ia manifested in Congress to Philadelphia interests, made it extremely doubtful whether the work of organizing a great naval depot would ever be commenced, and whether it would not be better for Phila delphia to ask that her magnifioent gift should be returned on aooount ' of the bad faith of the Government in not making use of it. That the League Island appropriation did finally pass both houses of Congress was in a very great mea sure due to the untiring exertions of Hon. A. G. Cattell, who thus appropriately finished his Senatorial career. Mr. Cattell's own State is nearly if not quite as much interested in the League Island project as is Pennsyl vania, but it is from Pennsylvania, and especially from Philadelphia, that a cordial recognition of his services should come. lie is entitled to the hearty thanks of ourcitizens of all classes for his efforts in behalf of the League Island appropriation, and we hope there will be such a general expression of opinion on the subject as will prove to him that his services are appreciated. The Public Building Site was again be fore the commission yesterday afternoon, but no definite action was taken, further than to declare the majority report of the Com mittee on Location, which favors placing the buildings on the intersection, an answer to the remonstrance presented at the pre vious meeting of the commission. Mr. Cny ler presented a minority report, advocating the purchase of additional ground by the commission, and the erection of two build ings on the opposite sides of Market street, east of Broad. One of his arguments is based on the score of cheapness, but the obstruc tion cry is made to do duty, as nsual, and is, after all, the only substantial reason urged against placing tho building at the intersec tion of the two streets. Mr. Cuyler appears to be laboring under the apprehension that the erection of the edifioe at this point will operate as a complete blocking up of the two highways, mtheut any possible chance for a man or a cart to get around it except by making a detour of two or three squares. He presents nothing that is new in his argu ment, and acts merely as the mouthpieoe of the small party which is determined to have the buildings on Washington Square, or not at all. The Appoetionment Swindle was con. sidered in the State Senate yesterday after noon, and its outrageous character fully ex posed by Mr. Rutan. All amendments pro posed by the Republicans were rejected by a party vote, and it is the evident purpose of the majority in the Senate to push the mea sure through that body as reported. The House, however, stands behind the Senate, and if the Demccratio majority in the latter will not listen to the demands of justice, the next Legislature will probably be sailed upon to make the reapportionment which should be made by the present one. Smith, the "Roostek," is getting philan thropio. In advocating his paving schemes yesterday in the House, he exclaimed patheti cally that "hundreds of poor men were suf fering for just such work as street-paving contracts afforded. hy cannot Smith tarn over bis seat in the Legislature to one of the Almshouse paupers? There would then be but 3G91) of those impecunious vagabonds to supply with wcik on Smith's pavements. The Wobkinomen's Benevolent Associa tion, or, as it is generally known, the W. B. A., is composed of about 31,000 members, including both the miner and laborers employed in the various coal regions. These members are from and represent five couutles Schuylkill, Lehigh, Lizerne, Carbon, and Northumberland.' The association is governed by an independent executive beard in each county, and, ia addition, by a General Council of thirty-one members, one member for every thousand In the number of miners and laborers represented. This general council la the ultimate authority, and Is em powered to govern the organization by the enactment of laws. Next to the general council the county organizations are the most Important, but witbiu these again are various branches, one for every colliery, to which all the hands em ployed in the colliery, if it be worked by Union men, t elong. 1 be president of the General Council is James Kealy. The President of the Executive Board of Schuylkill couuty is John Siney. As our coal relations are mostly with Schuylkill, the latter name is the one most often heard here, and on questions in which we are most interested, that oillcial has the exclusive jurisdiction.
