THE DEAD SECRET.
As the Teracioas reporters of Washington
news have undertaken to describe all the pro
visions of the treaty with Qreat Britain
framed by the Joint High Commission, while
editors who are usually well posted declare
in the most positive terms that the delibera
ndi s of the commissioners have been con
ducted with such unusual secrecy that no
lona fide information of any kind has leaked
eat, the public hardly know what to believe;
and in the absence of any direct revelation of
the text of the treaty, it is probable that newspa
per readers have so far only been beguiled with
conjectures more or less accurate. It is
gratifying to know, however, that a compre
hensive treaty has been framed, and the fact
that Great Britain consented to send so many
of her prominent men to our national capital
to hive the treaty negotiated there .indicates
of itself so strong a disposition to consent to
a satisfactory adjustment, thit the treaty is
probably very fair and equitable. English
statesmen were never in a better
mood for such a negotiation. Their
old European alliances have been destroyed
by a series of unexpected events; and while
the relations of the United States with the
two great European powers of the present
epoch, Russia and Germany, have always
been of the most friendly character, both
these nations have standing grievances against
the "tight little island" which are even
more Aggravating than our own. It is
barely possible, if all these grievances remain
unredressed, that these three great powers of
the world, viz., the United States, Germany,
and Russia, may take a notion some fine day
to settle up old scores with England. Pre
posterous and Quixotic as such a notion may
appear, abundant warrants for it could be
found in the former policy of
Great Britain;
decided upon,
and if it ever should be
London might read her
modern history of
fate in the
Paris and
the British Empire find a parallel for her
future in the history of France under Napo
leon I and Napoleon III. Independent of the
possibility of sucn a complication, tnere is
the more probable conjecture that in the
event of Germany or Russia waging war with
England we would assist her armed enemies,
as she assisted our armed enemies
daring the late war in this country,
by iurnishiog them with war vessels,
fitting out privateer?, and destroying
British commerce. Consequently the astute
English statesmen of the present era have
very good reasons for allaying, or attempting
to allay, tha smothered indignation of this
country. It is their interest to make a speedy
and satisfactory settlement with us, and to
ward off from their own heads the dangers
arising from their own precedents. As we ask
for nothing, after all, that is net fair and just,
and as the points oi dispute nave been so
carefullv canvassed that the statesmen of
both countries ought to thoroughly under
stand them, it will be singular if
all the circumstances referred to do not lead
to a treaty satisfactory and honorable to both
counties. And our own late military expe
rience, while it demonstrated our power and
endurance, still leaves behind suoh a vivid
recollection of the sufferings of war that the
public sentiment of the present day is more
disposed to support an adj ustment that di
minishes the danger of future conflicts than
the public sentiment of a future period will
be. after the glories of armed strife are re
membered and its horrors forgotten.
TEE rUBLIO BUILDINGS.
The continuance or discontinuance of the
present Building Commission is a compara
tively small matter, except as it affects the
progress of a great publio enterprise in which
future generations of Philadelphia are as
much interested as the present one is. Bat
the reopening of the controversy with regard
to the site for the munioipal and judicial
offices is of serious consequence, and the
abolition of the Building Commission by the
Legislature will mean nothing else than the
revival of a controversy that all fair-minded
men considered as definitely settled by the
vote of last October. The property-holders
in the neighborhood of the present Bow
offioes have left nothing undone, from first to
last, to prevent the publio building!) from
being erected elsewhere than upon Washing
ton Square. All the indignation against the
intersection plan, all the charges of
corruption and extravagance that
have been made against the commissioners
collectively and individually, and all the
clamor about the rights of the people having
been invaded, meant this and nothing more.
The principal organ of the anti-Penn Square
ites, after endorsing the scandalous corneals
eion bills introduced at the present session of
. the Legislature, took advantage of the publio
ttdignation against them to utter long
tirades against the Building Commission,
which, in a perfectly proper manner, was en
deavoring to carry out the expressed wishes
of a very large majority 0f the citizens of
Philadelphia; and it has stopped at no charge
that would be likely to make the commission
unpopular with the public, although when
called upon to make its charges good it has
been utterly unable to do bo. Finally, the
anti-Penn Square Ring succeeded in iaducinc
certain members of the Legislature how
our readers will not be at a loss to
imagine to adopt their views, and
yesterday the Senate agreed to abolish
the Building Commission, only two Senators,
Messrs. Nagle and Brooke, voting in the
negative. It has repeatedly been charged
that the bill creating the commission was got
through the Legislature by corrupt means,
and it is not unfair, under all the ciroam
Btanoes of the case, to suppose that the same
means wf re used to induce our virtuous law
makers to undo their own work. The law
for the creation of the commission passed
fbo Senate at the last set&ion by a nearly
unanimous vote, Messrs. Narie and Tarner
only opposing it on its final passage. It is
rather curious, to say the least, that Mr.
Nagle is this year one of the two Senators
who have opposed the repeal of the law. Is
Mr. Nagle the only incorruptible Senator?
If the House of Representatives conours
in the action of the Senate yesterday, a con
troversy of which the citizens of Philadel
phia are heartily sick will be reopened, and
the whole fight with regard to the site of the
publio buildings will have to be gone over
again.
The men who are now opposing the com
mission mean to have the buildings erected
either upon Washington or Independence
Square, bo that they may in the future, as
they have in tho past, enjoy a monopoly of
the profitable business of letting offioes. This
is the whole meaning of the clamor against
the commission that has been raised daring
the past six months, and it will be but a
barren victory if this result is not obtained
with the abolition of the commission. The
preferences of the people of Philadelphia
were expressed as plainly as possible in Octo
ber, and it will be a gross outrage if the
Legislature interferes to defeat the wishes
of a vast majority of our citizens in the
interests of a few selfish property-
holders who are totally destitute
of public spirit, and a few old fogies who
have opposed this in the same manner that
they have opposed every other schemo for
the improvement of the city that has beon
started daring the last fifty years. The action
of the Legislature in leaving the choice of a
site to the people themselves at a regular
election gave entire satisfaction. It was a
fair way to settle a controversy that other
wise promised to be unending; and tho people
having made their choice, the Legislature has
no moral right to interfere farther in the
matter.
INVESTMENTS.
With the single exception of national loans,
railroad bonds have been during the last half
century the favorite investment in all
markets. South Sea bubbles and John Lard
schemes flourish at times and divert immense
sums from the legitimate channels of indus
try; a nation's necessity sometimes, as in the
case of our civil war, swallows up for a sea
son the whole of the nation's surplus; but in
normal times, when peaceful competition ob
tains, good railway securities always come to
the front. It is estimated that no less than
eight billions of dollars are imvested in
tne railways oi tne world; and tnat tne in
vestment has been, on the whole, a paying
one, is indicated by tne tact tnat tne last
East India six per cents" are quoted at 105
in the London markets, while in our own, to
select leading instances, the Central and
Union Pacific bonds are advanoing briskly
under a steadily increasing demand, the
former selling at 100102, and those of the
Northern Pacific are being taken up rapidly
all over the country. The claims of the two
former are already appreciated by the publio,
but as the latter have just been plaoed upon
the market, and are comparatively new to in
vestors, it msy be well to say a word or two
in exposition of their claims.
The railroad upon which they are issued,
extending from Lake Superior to Puget
Sound, occupies what is undoubtedly the
shortest line across the continent, and the
one about which are clustered the greatest
natural advantages. It is directly in the line
of the great tides of commerce which flow
east and west over the lakes; it brings New
York, by water and rail, 600 miles nearer to
the Pacific than any ether line, and London
1400 miles nearer to Japan; it traverses the
finest region on the American continent
which yet remains unoccupied; and it is the
loadstone which will surely draw the North
western British Provinces into the fold
of our common Union. This road has
been endowed by Congress with a land
grant which foots up the enormous total of
fifty millions of acres; and these, with the
railway itself and all its property, are pledged
as security for the Northern Paoifio first mort
gage bonds. These bonds, moreover, com
bine all the monetary features of the best
national loans. They are payable in gold at
the end of thirty years; they bear interest in
gold at tne rate oi 7 3-iu per cent, per
annum; they are printed in the currency of
every country upon whose markets they are
plaoed; and they bring a premium of 10 per
cent, when exchanged for the company's
lands.
At the price at which they are sold par
and accrued interest in currenoy the bends
pay an ineome a third larger than that ob
tained from the Government 5-20s.
The Connecticut Election. When the
new Legislature of Connecticut appointed a
committee to investigate alleged mistakes in
the returns of the recent Gubernatorial elec
tion, the whole Democratic press of the
lish was to be counted out and the will of the
people defeated. The indignation of the vir
tuous Democratic sheets reached the highest
pitch when the corrections made in the vote
by the committee reduced English's majority
to three, and threw the election into the Legis
lature by reason of a dozen scatteri ug votes. And
now we may expect another outburst, as it is
announced that a further investigation shows
that Jewell, the Republican candidate, had
been credited with one hundred votes in New
Haven which he did not reotive. This, of
course, eives English a clear majority of
nearly one hundred; but, then, the Demo
cracy are so much opposed to tampering with
errors that they will be deeply grieved by the
result.
A kumbeb of highly respectable citizeng
have called upon us to state that The Tele-
gbaph miuJe an unaccountable blunder yes-'
terday in confounding William Moll-Hen,
Alderman, of this city, with William J. Mul
len, our worthy Prison Aeent. It is a rula of
this office never to take back any expression
of opinion. Mr. MoMullen is quite as mach
the "Prisoner 'a Friend" as Mr. Mullen, if not
wore bo. le work of one U the auieliora-
tion of the condition of the prisoner, and of
the other to do away with tho necessity of any
suoh amelioration, that is to say, to prevent
his beooming a prisoner at all. The Alder
man makes a short cut in this generous
rivalry, and it is a nioe question if he is not
the better "Friend" ef the two. If there is
any justioe a-going, therefore, the statue
must be that of our old friend Bill MoMullen.
