Common Council yesterday decided, by a large majority, to favor a new loan amounting to $2, 122,000, for the extension of the water Vforks, and the same body has also reoently authorized a $500,000 loan for the gas works, and a $500,000 pavement loan for Broad street, so that the snug sum of a trifle more than $3,000,00 will speedily be added to the enormous aggregate of municipal indebted Bess if the Select Council concur in the ac tion of Common Council. In view of the financial position of Philadelphia, the rapidity with which her debt is being swelled by expenditures connected with the park, the House of Correction, and other projects to whioh she is irretrievably committed, the large portion of hor annual receipts which is now absorbed in the pay ment of interest on old loans, and her limited sources of revenue, her tax-payers may justly deplore the prospect of the crea tion of a new batch of loan bills, and stre nuously demand that the loan ordinances which Common Council has so readily autho rized shall be subjected to searching criticism ia Select Council. There is no shadow of doubt that while the city has often neglected to make, at the proper moment, improvements of great importance, hor money has occasionally, if not frequently, been ehamefully squandered by expenditures for works of doubtful utility. This has occurred heretofore in the Water Department, and after a large sum was wasted in useless exten sions the water supplies of nine-tenths of the whole city were jeopardized for lack of an insigtincant amount. How much, the Gas Trustees have wasted or lavished among their favorites, while charging the people higher rates for gas than should ever be charged in this locality, will probably never be accurately known; but the people of Philadelphia have evidently been subjected to unnecessary and unjusti fiable extortions. It is therefore high time that new demands from the Gas and Water Departments should be examined with the utmost care. The people need and, practioally, they must have water and gas, It will not do to interrupt or delay improve' rnents whioh are absolutely essential. When money must be paid, let it be paid, and when new loans must be contracted, let them be contracted promptly. Bat the feeling daily gains strength that, under the plea that this or that scheme, plan, or system was imperatively required, sums of money greater than were really requisite, and for objects which were not, truly, of prime importance, have been extorted from the city. It is almost inconceivably base aad wicked to thus trifle with her necessities, The highwayman who demands the money or the life of a traveller is, morally, little worse than the man or set of men who, after being installed in high and responsible posi tions, force tnrougn Uouncils unnecessary loan bills on the pretext that if they are not granted supplies of water or gas will be cut off from a great city. But, judging from past experience, there is no guarantee even against this ineffable baseness, except fall, clear, and explicit statements setting forth in detail the charaoter of the work or works re quired, as well as the particulars of all expenditures after they are made. It will no longer do, in tins com- munity,to enshroud the transactions of publio departments with a veil of mystery, or to run them on the confidence system, by leaving all details to the discretion of a few indi viduals. It is a poor sign for the future that Common Council concurred so readily yeator day in denouncing the contract system as ap plied to tbe proposed new water works, and that even while this discussion was going on the Select Council had under considera tion complaints that the House of Correction was not being built according to the specifi cations. If the city has no longer officials of sufficient tvonestv. capacity, and energy to ensure the honest fulfilment of a plain con tract, nd if she must depend Bolely upon the discretion of a law custodians of absolute power, who can say what they please, employ whom they please, and b inllaenoed solely by favoritism, whim, ot eaprice, in stead of conducting tv businss L - 11 " I appertaining iu me municipality on sound business principles, no man need be astonished if the city debt continues to well so long as purchasws of loans can be fou and if the city taxes continue- to inorea nntil hosts of old residents of Philadelphia and a large "number of its old manufactories are driven away from her limits. Already, many men who would otterwise locate great factories here are compelled to seek other localities solely on account of the pressure of our city taxation, and nothing will do more to increase this tendency to drive away population and diminish looal prosperity, than the endorsement by Coan " cili of the doctrine that while the city cannot enforce a contract, it is ready to entrust the disbursement of millions to a few man who are subject to no checks, and who assume no well-defined responsibilities. THE DEAF AND DUMD. An effort is now being made by the Direotorg of the Pennsylvania Institution for the Edu cation of the Deaf and Dumb to extend the operations of their institution by the esta blishment of one or more day schools for the instruction of deaf mute children between the ages of six and twelve years. This is a pro ject that should meet with the cordial sym pathy and support of our philanthropio citizens, as it will enable a number of children to enjoy the benefits of education who are now deprived of them. The Pennsylvania Institution for the Educa tion of the Deaf and Dumb has been the means of training a great number of persons to be good and usoful citizens who would otherwise have been burdens upon their friends and upon society, and the creditable manner in which the graduates of the institu tion have uniformly conducted themselves after their exit from it, and the energy with which they have applied themselves to various industries ior wnicn tney are fitted, are evidences of the value and importance of the system under which they were eduoated, and of the institu tion which provided such education. The day-schools for children which it is now pro posed to establish will be important additions to the educational facilities of the institution. and such aid as the directors require should be freely extended to them. They are now endeavoring to ascertain the names and resi dences of children of the class for which these schools will be intended, and the aid of our citizens generally is requested to enable them to accomplish this object. Any information may be sent to the institution or to the Secre tary, James J. Barclay, No. 21'J South Sixth street. TDE PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION. The Ku-klux bill passed at the last session of Congress was, to say the least, of doubtful expediency, but any benefits it may confer upon the country, by putting a stop to the lawlessness that undoubtedly exists in some of the Southern States, will depend entirely upon the manner in which it is enforced. If it is necessary for the President to exercise the power placed in his hands, he must do so with firmness and decision, for it would only aggravate existing evils to permit the law to remain a dead letter if there is a necessity for its enforcement. President Grant has made a great many serious mistakes since he has been in the exeoutive chair, but in a matter of this kind we have great confidence that he will act wisely and well, and to none of his predecessors could the extraordinary powers of the Ku-klux bill have been more safely entrusted. He has certainly commenced right by issuing a temperate and kindly worded pro clamation, advising the people of insurrection ary districts to suppress unlawful combinations by their own voluntary efforts and through the agency of local laws. If this advice is heeded there will be no necessity for the enforce ment of the Ku-klux law, and it now rests with the people of the South themselves to say whether the reign of peace shall be es tablished within their borders or not, or whether fresh pretexts for harsh proceedings against them will be given, and the end of the work of reconstruction be indefi nitely postponed. The President says that, while reluctant to call into exercise any of the extraordinary powers conferred upon him, he will, nevertheless, not hesitate to exhaust the powers vested in the Exeoutive whenever and wherever it may be necessary to do so for the purpose ofseouring to all citizens of the United States the peaoeful enjoyment of the rights guaranteed to them by the Consti tution and the laws. The President will un doubtedly keep his word, and the people of the South will have themselves to blame if they find that the enforcement of the laws is attended by harshness and hardships difficult to bear. It is there fore high time for those, most interested to consider whether anything is to be gained by permitting Ku-kluxism to exist any longer, for all the evidence on the subject indicates that in a vast majority of instances the out rages complained of would not be committed if the perpetrators were not sure of at least the silent support of those who ought to be most influential in upholding law and order. If the property-owners and those who have most at stake will determine that the per formances of the Ku-klux shall cease, and that the lives, persons, and property of all citizens, white or black, shall be respected, the insurrectionary districts of the South will be speedily pacified, and Congress will have no longer an excuse for interfering with mat ters that ought to be regulated by the States them elves. AN ART REVIVAL. Thebe are very few certainties in this world. Death is generally called sure and the Taxes and there may be here and there a very slight sprinkle of these animated axioms; still, taking the run of things, affairs and people and events are very uncertain, and the law that shall harmonize all our comings and goings has yet to be discovered. There was one rook, however, that we fondly hoped we had reached; one strong firm place from which, rail as we might at the treaoherous nnstability of thiDgs, our confident feet could never be swept. We had grown to the belief that nothing that our friend (tf we may make so free) Bill MoMullen might do, could sur prise us. To be sure, this growth was a slow one. Every now and then Mr. McMullen would fright tbe isle from its propriety by Home diplomatic stroke that would temporarily waken our faith, but of late years (for over a stretch of time do William's services to Philadelphia extend!) ke bad been bo earujgt ftnd untiring in the work for which i inscrutable Providence Bent him into tie wort that he bad finally carried us on to that Tai4 Land whre we had ceased to wonder. tut alas that there should always be a "but! '-wthe dream fades. That Wil liam McMullen, our old friend Bill (if we my make bo free,) should have goue and had a btatue matle of himself. After this tho de luge; anj thiog may happen, we care not. We miss the horn ' and spanner and soap locks, and tbe t Directory upon which in his latter day dignity he sweats witnesses; but no matter the deed is done; William, after leav ing us for a long time in an enthused state, has once more surprised us. There is nothing certain after all. When we got over the first shook of this revelation, we felt gratified at the prominenoe given Mr. MoMnllen's counterfeit resem blance en our principal street. We feared, indeed, that some malignant enemy, who had ineffectually lain for him a long time, might smash Mr. Bailey's plate glass, in a misdi rected but violent effort to get at the Fourth ward chieftain, but at the present Writing his effigy remains intact. We will not here pre tend to criticize Mr. MoMnllen's statue, but we may say that it scarcely seems benignant enough. It has been a long time since we saw William (and, much as we admire him, we hope it may be a longer time before we see him again), but if our mind's eye is to be depended on, the statue at Bailey's doesn't do him justioe. If ever he had occasion to hit a man, he did it in a bright-faced and smiling manner, and did not soo wl his victim's wits away after the manner of this Btatue. Nor would he ever have used the slung-shot, fighting riDg, and other unfair advantages we see scattered at the base of it. The artist thought by these means to add to the strength of bis portrait, but it is plain that he did not know William MoMullen; that he only saw the outside of him. . He did not see even that correctly; for who ever saw Bill in a Spanish cloak? As the Indian orator remarked, "Not one." It would not be pleasant to bo in the same room when a tailor should offer to make William such a garment. No; the statue should have been cut with William in his shirt-Bleeves, and with a fire-plug some where in the neighborhood. It may not be too late yet to make these alterations. But let us finish this matter in a thorough and beooming manner. William undoubtedly is the "Prisoner's Friend," but the wretched convicts have other disinterested adherents, almost as zealous as he. If MoMullen can have a statue, are Mann and Cassidy to go without? Is O'Byrne to go unrewarded of monumental fame? Brooke, Phillip are they to have no share in this glorifioation in stone? They, too, love the prisoner; he is their meat, their drink, their all. They should each of them have statues, and they would have, if there was as much gratitude in be friended prisoners as there ought to be. Mr. Mann, "took" as the angel of Justice, with a raised sword, typifying the intimidation of a jury, and with a quart measure full of shack'es, showing what he had saved his clients from and what he could place over the fists of those unfortunates if he chose, would make a most appropriate statue. Mr. Cassidy as Gabriel with his Horn would also make a remarkably fine statue. Of course the horn would mean the teetotal everlasting blowing up of error, a thing Mr. Cassidy has been devoted to ever since he was called to the bar. Somebody ought to act on these hints at once. A number of statues are impera tively called for, bat it will be best not to attempt too much at first. Let the statues we have designed be built for a commence ment. TIIF ENGLISH BUDGET. Last evening, In the British House of Commons, the budget wa finally agreed to by a majority of 46 votes a small majority, If the House was full, which probably was not the case. Mr. Lowe, the Chancel lor of the Exchequer, presented his estimates on the 81st of April, and since that date bat little has been dose in the House save to discuss Its provi sions. The opposition, of coarse, denounced Mr. Lowe's financial measures on general principles, but seme points In the budget encountered strong oppo sition in the ranks of the Liberals. The proposed tax on matches, especially, enoountered such vio lent antagoalsm both In and out of Parliament that the ministry were obliged to abandon It A proposed Increase In the income tax likewise was bitterly as sailed, but the mlBistry managed to retain it. The late European malls bring further details of the budget thaa were forwarded Dy cable. Mr. Lewe. In his speech presenting the budget, stated that the revenue receipts for the years 1864-69 were !, eoo.ooo, and for 1870-71 70,000,000, being a decrease of 2,600,000. The estimated revenue for 1S70-71 was Xb7,634,e00, and the actual receipts 69,640,600, showing an excess of revenue of 2,811,000. The exchequer balances on the 1st of March, 1871, amounted to 7,023,435. The public debt (funded and unfunded) on the 81st of March last was 796, 104.1&S, showing a reduction since March, 1163, of 10,468,723. The estimated expenditure for the new financial year (1S71-72) was as follows: Interest of debt 26,910,000 other consolidated fund charges 1,820,000 Army (including aooiuion ot purcnasej.. jo.tov.uuu NaV) 10,726,000 Revenue Department 6,016,000 Packet Service 1.14S.0O0 Telegraph Service 420,000 Total 72,303,000 This estimate showed a net Increase over the total grant for 1870-71 of 2,482,000. Comparing these estimates with those of the years 1363-69 (often re ferred to as examples of moderation and economy), it would be found that notwithstanding an addition or 1,609,000 to the civil service estimates, tbe Chan cellor ot the Exchequer asisted that there had not been any laxity in enforcing economy, the whole of the increase being attributable to transfers from other sources, to automatic Increases, or to the ope ration of legislative enactments. The estimated revenue for 1871-72 was a follows: rustouis 20,100,000 EXClbe 22.420,000 SUUipB 8,700,000 Taxt-tf ,B30,00 Income tax 6,100,000 Post-t.fllce 4,67o.ooo Telegraphs 750,000 Crown lands 815,000 Miscellaneous 4,100,000 ToUl 69,595,000 Tbe actual revenue of the year 1S70-71 was 69, 945,000, showing a net decrease, as compared with the estimate, of 350,000. He estimated that tbe customs would produce In the current year 91,000 less than last year; the excise, 363,ooo; stamps, 257,000 ; taxes, 395,000; Income tax, 250,000; post ettlce, 100,000; and crown lands, 10,000. On tele. graphs, however, he anticipated an Increase of 250,- 000, and on "miscellaneous," 871,000. The est! mated expenditure being 72,303,000, and the reve nue being estimated at 6D,595,000, there was a (led, clency of 2,7l3,oco. It was to make up for this ce nclt that Mr. Lowe was obliged to propose the new taxes which so thoroughly aroused the opposition, In Syracuse, New York, strikes are now the order of the dav.
