OT The Evening Telegraph, from Its original establishment, has been In the receipt of telegraphic news from the New York Associated Press, which consists o! the Tribune, Times, Herald, World, ' Sun, Journal of Commerce, Evening Post, Commercial Advertiser, and Evening Ex firess. The success which has attended our enterprise is, In itself, a sufficient evi dence of the ireshness, fullness, and relia bility ol 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. tiTThe earliest regular edition of The Evening Telegraph goes to press at o'clock, and the subsequent regular editions at 2A, "..J, and k. Whenever there is im portant news of the complications in Europe, extra editions will be issued after this hour, and before the regular time for the early edition. THE PROPOSED COMMISSIONS. . The introduction of the Commission bills, whether they pass the Legislature or not, will have served one good end at least, in thor oughly arousing the tax-payers of this city to a sense of the danger which threatens them. It will convince the respectable gentlemen who now stay away from the polls habitually, who take merely a mildly sentimental inte rest in politics, and who have not time to attend to their public duties, that if they do not value their liberties enough to preserve them by paying a slight attention to publio affairs, the chanoes are that they will not have any liberties ere long to preserve. We scarcely expect to make any decided impres sion upon the non-voting 'respectability of our city, however, by appeals to them to aid in preserving our republican form of government in its integrity, and the liberty of thought, speech, and aotion which depends upon it. This theme has been harped upon until it has ceased to be attrac tive, and the cry of "wolf, wolf" has been raised so often that no one pays any attention to it, and the men who ought to have most influence in publio affairs attend to their factories, workshops, and warehouses with the most perfect confidence that liberty is secure, and that publio affairs will take care of themse'ves. This class can be alarmed, however, when their pockets are threatened, and the incipient schemes of plunder which are contained in the three commission bills cow before the Legislature should open the eyes of every citizen, and force him to con sider where we are drifting. The tax-rate is now $180 on $100, but it will be no exaggeration to say that if the proposed commissions go into operation the rate will, inside of five years, be increased to $4 or more, and the city in addition will be burdened with a debt to which our present pecuniary responsibilities appear a very small matter. Property-holders now comp'ain that the taxes are heavy; but what will they say when they are more than doubled, as they assuredly will be ? Property will in very many sections of the city not be worth owning, with an ever increasing tax upon it, and a liability at any time to be called npon to bear the burden of the expense at tending indefinite ''improvements" pro jected and carried out by all-powerful and wholly irresponsible commissions. The second section of the bill for the crea tion of the Board of Publio Works-states that the said board shall have exolusive cogni zance, control, and management, first for we need go no further at present than the first clause in this extraordinary list of powers granted to the commission "of all highways, and of the openicg, altering, regulating, grading, flagging, curbing, and guttering ef all streets, roads, places, and avenues, and of the right to purchase, control , end use all material connectel therewith." This wake the commissioners absolute owner) of the streets already in existence, and of any they may choose hereafter to open in any section of the city. It has been suggest ed in connection with the Penn Square agi tation that it would be a good thing to have a fine broad street running diagonally aoross the city, between Penn Square and the Park. If the commissioners shou'd choose to adopt this good ide they can, under this bill cut through all the buildings in the northwest section of the central por tion of the city without regard to the wiuhes of the property-holier, without asking the opinion of the citizens generally, and without further legal enactment. They could lay out a magnifioent avenue of any width, ar pay any price they might wish for the work, with out advertising for proposals, or without allowing any competition. The commissions could and undoubtedly would give the oon traots to their creatures, and would pocket their share of the profits. This is the way the thing is managed in New York, and the commission rule which it is proposed to in augurate in Philadelphia is modelled upon that of New York, with "improvements." The Mayor yesterday sent a vigorous mes sage to Councils upon this subject, whioh ably reviewed the situation, and whioh earnestly protested against the iniquitous attempt to overturn the government of the city. The Mayor justly said that Councils might as well adjourn sine die if these bills should become laws. Councils for their part passed a resolution to call a grand indignation meeting to protest to the Legislature against the passage of the bills. This meet ing should be held, but other and more positive measures should be taken to prevent the consummation of the most impudent scheme to trample upon the rights of the people that has hitherto been devised outside of New York. In the meantime we are glad to announce "another county heard from" in the realms of newspaperdom, and to repub lish the following editorial from the Press of this morning. The following journals of this city are now fully committed against the commission scheme: The Inquirer, the Public Itecord, the Ledger, the Age, the Press, and The Evening Telegraph. The Press Bays: 'Mayor Fox yesterday sent to Councils a special message protesting against the proposed new High way, water, and Police Commissions, which states bo succinctly the radical objection to them, and re flects so fairly the popular feeling against them. which atrengthens with every hour, that we feel Im pelled to call attention to It and Impress Its warn ing. naiever may oe ue true policy as to me prin ciple of municipal commissions, and however well In one or two lastancea they have worked In this city, there Is no question that such a wholesale transfer of the bulk of our local government, to gether with the elective franchise, Is dangerous and unrepubllcan, and cannot stand. The Instincts of the masses of the people have taaght them this, without the need of argument or discussion, Without regard to party lines, the better sentiment of the community ranges Itself against this scheme solidly and inflexibly, and in giving that sentiment voice and publication we but fulfil the first duty of dispassionate and even-minded Journalism. The special committee raised by Councils have decided on a public meeting In Independence Square, where the opinion of the people on this question will be formally and officially pronounced." As is customary, when any unusually im posing piece of iniquity is to be perpetrated, William F. . Smith, Esq., is a prominent mover in this commission scheme, as will be seen from the following despatch, sent to Harrisburg to-day by one of the gentlemen named in the bill for the creation of the Board of Publio Works: "March 10, 18T1 Hon. William F. Smith, nouse of Representatives, Harrisburg, Pa. Withdraw my name from the Commission bill. Public opinion is unanimous against the proposed commissions. "H. W. Gbat, No. 1103 Chesuut s-reet." Mr. Gray has also telegraphed to the Gov ernor informing him of the intense indigna tion which exists in this city against the pro posed commissions, and urging him strongly to veto the bills in case they pass the Legisla ture. We understand that Colonel John W. Forney has telegraphed to the Governor to the same effect, and that he has also demanded that his name shall be withdrawn from the Water Commission bill. Let the other pre sumably honest men nominated for commis sioners follow the example of these two gen tlemen, and we shall soon see exactly who the promoters of this outrageous scheme to plnnder the city really are. JJYPERION TO A 8A1YR. The action of the caucus of the Republican members of the United States Senate in de termining to displace Charles Sumner from his position as Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and substituting Simon Cameron, hasamazed and startled the nation. The contrast between the charaoter and ac quirements of the two men is so marked, the old chairman being so remarkably well fitted for the position and the proposed new one so terribly, disqualified, that an indignant people may well ask what is to follow this exchange of a polished statesman for a boorish and branded jobber. Whatever may be Sum ner's views on this or that special question, no man doubts his intellectual greatness or hia eminent fitness for the high position he has so ably filled; and whatever men may think of the audacity, cunning, and rapaciousness of Cameron, no intelligent man can believe that he possesses the qualifications whioh, from the time this Government was formed, have been wisely deemed indispensable in the chairman of the Senate Foreign Eola tions Committee. The doctrine that when the king gives the office God gives the capacity has been,' and may be here after, pushed to extreme limits; and so.far as positions in which subordinates can be found to do the work are concerned, it matters com paratively little whether the official occu pant is a man of brains or a mere figure-head. A few plaoes, however, still exist in which it continues to be vitally important that the veritable official should be competent to discharge, in person, the duties he assumes before the world, and of these the position in question is one of the most important. They may set up automaton Cabinet officers at Washington without serious detriment to the publio in terests, and clerks and heads of bureaus can still run the machine in good style, but when the highest deliberative legislative body in the land discards Charles Sumner and selects Simon Cameron as its instructor, its leader, its organ, and its inquirer int j the complicated details connected with foreign relations, the school-boys should no longer be surprised that a horse was made consul in Borne. To strike Charles Sumner down on account of a difference of opinion with the administration on a single question is in itself one of the greatest of political out rages, and it affords a fearful indication that the independence of which the Senate once boasted, ' and which is the Ligbest virtue that it can possess, no longer exists. Such aotion will go far to spread abroad the damaging and disastrous conviction that the Senate is only bold and defiant & against the people, and that it crouches at the feet of the temporary custo dians of patronage and power. But when this change is aggravated by the substitution of Cameron for Sumner, the whole land may well blaze with indignation. It is bad enough that be is in the Senate at all, bad enough that be was ever made Secretary of War to be formally condemned by a Congress of his own party, bad enough that he was sent to Russia to endanger the interests of his countiy by discourtesy to a friendly power and by flagrant official neglect, but to make him chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations would be a crowning and ineffable national disgrace. It is a thousand times more important that the Senate should have in such a position a man who can speak intel ligently to it, and for it, as Sumner can and Cameron cannot, than that it should be filled by a man who is in all things in harmony with the administration. San Domingo was no test at the polls in 18G8, in 18G0, or in 1870, and it Is vain to attempt to crush out in dependent opinions on such a subject now. If this test can be enforced under present cir cumstances, the Senate will sink at once from its high and honored position to the low and menial grade in legislative bodies which was occupied by the French Senate appointed by the Napoleon who is now ex piating his follies and his crimes at Wilhelms hohe. The outrage is intensified rather than excused by the poor plea advanoed in support of it, and if the action of the Republican caucus is confirmed, the country will stand aghast ' as it turns from a contemplation of Sumner s attainments to a vain attempt to explore the depths of Cameron's ignorance and incapacity. Independence IIall is regarded throughout the civilized world as a temple consecrated to the great doctrines that governments derive all their just powers from the oonsent of the governed, and that there shall be no taxation without representation. The Legislature proposes to rob the people pf Philadelphia of all possible share of the blessings which all free citizens derive from these vital principles. THE LESSON OF PARIS. The Proposed Fortlflcntion of London. The London Timet says: One Item of Mr. Cardwell's estimates is for surveys of defensive positions round London, and between London and the coast. So much was due to public im patience, n not to toe necessity of the case; for London cannot see her next sister besieged and taken by a stern and angry foe without au awakening of misgivings for her own safety. It is obvious, indeed, at the first sight, that in almost every condition and circumstance that might be named, the case of London Is the very contrary of that of FarlBi and that. even were it admitted that the fortifications of Pari" have proved a real service to the capital or the nation, it would not follow that London should also be fortified. It is remarkable that often as London has had reason to dread Inva sion, and often as great military authorities have sounded the alarm and told London to take care of herself, the result has uniformly been confined to tbe further fortification of our ports and arsenals and of our coasts. Some hundred Martello towers and the remains of earth works at a few points - of vantage on the "great Kent road'f are the only memorials of panics which certainly were not without founda tion. But the fortincation of London has always been found, not exactly an impossible problem, but one without a finite and actual solution. It would be easy enough to construct any number of forts about London, very difllcult to be taken, if defended, and consequently giv ing at least a long respite to the metropolis, but while the engineering question can be brought within reasonable compass, it Is not so with the practical considerations. No sooner are engineers set to work on the problem than they find it rapidly growing on their hands, till it ends in the contradiction that the coast is tbe true line of defense. NOTICES.
