THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA 1 THURSDAY, JUNE 1,. 1871 THURSDAY, JUN 1, 187L TUB DRILL PARDON, It will not do for Repablioai newspapers and Bepublioan politicians U attempt to extenu ate Bnch a seandalous violaiiea of decency as Is Involved in tlia pardea of Joan II. Brill. Outside of the ooparativelj small number of wire-pullers, who too frequently imagine that they conatitute the Republican party, and that . the rank and lie of retire are no better than bo many cattle, to be driren in whatever direc tion it may please their masters, is the real Republican party, composed of reasonably honest and intelligent oitisens who have opinions of their own; and it has been amply demonstrated at more than one election sinoe the oonclosion of the war that rery many of them are much more anxious to have the pub . lio offices filled by good men than they are for mere party triumph. It is an undenia ble fact that the Republican party has been losing its hold npon a very large number of the intel ligent voters who were the most earnest sup porters of its principles during the war for the preservation of the nation. Why has this happened? The Demooratio party has , not changed in the least; its principles are the same as they were in 18C0; its praotioes wherever it has obtained power have been Buch as to exoite alarm at the prospect of its obtaining control of the Govern ment, and it has made no headway whatever on its own merits against Republicanism. Why, then, is not the Re publican party as strong to-day as it was in 1865? The answer to this question is easy, and we have only to point to the example of the so-called Republican , leaders who de manded the pardon of Brill, to that of the Republican Oovernoi who granted the par don, and to that of the Republican news papers that apologize for the soandalons transaction. This is but one instance out of many to . prove the corruption that exists in the Republican, party, and the true way to check the advances of the Democracy and to promote the interests of the great party to which the preservation of the Union is due, is not to apologize for crime that every honest voter knows is a personal injury to himself as well as to the public at large; not to advocate men whose dishonesty and want of principle arejnotorious for important publio offioes, or support them because by means of the lowest arts of the trading politicians they manage to get their names - npon the regular party tiokets, but to boldly, vigorously, and inoes santly denounce corruption in any shape that it may be presented. The Republican party is not being injured in the least by the De mocracy, but, on the contrary, it is wounded in the house of its friends; and such an article &s that which we find to-day in the columns of one of our Republican morning contem poraries, endeavoring to extenuate the crime of Brill and to apologize for the aotion of Governor Geary in pardoning him, at the bidding of a ring of political wire pullers, who hope to use him in the future as they have in the past, will do more to weaken the Republican party next October than anything we can say on the other side of the question. The falsification of the eleotion returns is a crime for which no exouse can be advanced under any ciroanastances. It strikes at the dearest rights of every citizen; it must of necessity be committed deliberately and with premeditation, and the frequency with which it is committed requires that it shall be punished with the severest penalties of the law. If Brill had been a Democrat, the very papers that are now endeavoring to apologize for his pardon, and to represent him as rather an ill used individual than otherwise, wonld have been most eager in denouncing him. They may imagine that they are advancing the cause of Republicanism by such a course of action as this, but they are fearfully mis taken, for every attempt to extenuate the in iquities perpetrated by men who call them selves Republicans alienates thousands of voters of the very class that constitutes the strength of the Republican party, and plays directly into the hands of the Democracy. With regard to the influences brought to bear upon Governor Geary to induce him to grant the Brill pardon, we reiterate what we have said before, that the complimentary re solution of the convention was one of the conditions of the pardon. Geary's baokers may try to explain away this faot, but a fact it remains, and the Governor cannot deny it and speak the truth. Apart from this, how ever, why is it that his Excellency refuses to allow the papers in the Brill case to be made public ? If the pardon was granted for pro per reasons, and at the iobtanoe of men in whose integrity the publio have confidence, there would be no neoessity for jealously guarding them from the light of day. The fact is, the Governor does not dare to brave publio opinion by an honest and open exposition of all the facts of the case. He knows that the pardon was granted to oblige certain notorious political tricksters who do not possess the confidence of honest citizens, and who have dugraced the party they profess to support by their past nil deeds. The pardon Has granted to oblige these men, because Qaary hoped that they wonld prove useful to him iu the future, aud by granting it he insulted every honest man who ever voted for him, or who ever believed that he was anything ele than a political peddler of the lowest and meanest description. It will not do for Geary's friends, in the face of the Fickon, Landis, and Brill pardonu, to prate about the integrity of tbe Governor, who has by these . performances done for himself what his worst enemiei could scarcely have done for him in the way of political annihilation. ' vccbtfuz lirrRorsnsyra. ' Tan liability to freshets on the Sohnylkill has of late years been an ever increasing anxiety to property-holders an J dwellers on tbat river. This year any serious disaster was fortunately escaped, but suoh immunity cannot bw Calcu lated open, and every reonrring spring- must be expected to bring its season of inseenrif y and peril. Thia is partly the prioe we pay fcr position, and, with all the- risks, Philadelphia could illy afford to lose the incomparable ad vantages which the confluence of the Dels, ware and the Sohuylkill affords her over every ther Amerioan city. Philadelphia loves the Sohuylkill and values it, but she is also a little bit afraid of it. The plaoid swerp of the river in August in a very different thing from the angry boil and rush of Maroh. Ex. perience of its power we have already had to our cost, and it is very possible we may have yet sterner evidences of it if the present policy of waterside improvements is not is some way modified. Publio attention has not until now been called to the serious erroroaoh ments being made upon the Sohuylkill ehan nel at different points from the Wire Bridge to below Gray's Ferry. These oonsist in the. building of wharves and embankments far into the stream. At some points these werks appear to streteh half-way across the former water surfaoe. The Pennsylvania Company seems to have set this perilous example. The land the company has reclaimed and banked in from the river makes an awkward bend in the stream, and appears, to the eye at leait, to constitute a serious obstruction. With so powerful a precedent set them, other com. pantos, as well as manufacturers and private parties, have not scrupled o inorease their areas at the expense of the river, and a trip along the bank would indubitably surprise the citizen who had not visited the looality within the last two years. To do every one jnstioe, it ttust be stated that the parties to these improvements claim to have built only to the Port Wardens' line.. How the Port Wardens could have- made suoh an eocentrio line as that which bounds the Pennsylvania Company's wharf ia not clear, but we will suppose that they did com mit that vagary, and that all these- wharf builders are within the letter of the law. The questions will still arise: Are they right in suoh extreme aotion? and are they not seriously imperilling life and property on the river banks? There is grave concern felt by people doing- busi ness and living on the river from Chesnut street southward, and dismal predictions are made concerning the results of the next freshet. The question is not easily decided, but one thing ia tolerably certain either these levees should not ba raised at all, or they should be mad 3 uniform throughout the city limits. When water is hemmed in,, after the obstruction ia passed the- reaction carries it as far beyond the natural limits as it had previously been contracted. This- is a natural: law, and in times of exceptional commotion. it is easy to imagine or rather it is not easy to imagine the consequences. At present,, parties who do not care to construct these wharves, or who have no occasion for them, are taken at a great disadvantage. A chooses to build a wharf 150 feet long. Very well for him if he can afford it, or has use for it. But A'a neighbor, Mr. B, does not desire such an addition to his property. Straightway his land is deluged by the stream sweeping around Mr. A' breakwater. This is, in a measure, the case even when the water is the lowest. The element of fairness seems somehow laoking in this matter. Pro perty of all kinds has its rights. The men who improve the city, who attract commerce, and tend to develop our interior xesouroes, are to have their hands strengthened, of course, but not surely at the expense of other citizns whose usefulness to the community may be quite as considerable ia other ways. The most equitable manner of adjusting the trouble would be to have the city construct a uniform series of wharves or levees from below the dam to- the Delaware. Tbe distance is not great, and the expense would certainly be made up in the improvement of real estate and the con sequent tax returns. Until something of this kind is done, we may expect individual enter prise to strive and push at the expense of its. neighbor. Tbe General Presbyterian Assembly, now in session at Chicago, has reoommended that the presbyteries unite in making arrange ments for the observance, in 1S72, of the third centennial celebration of the massacre of St. Bartholomew, and other similar reli gious events. The wisdom of keeping alive the memory of a horrible slaughter, which,' wicked as it was, was nevertheless perpetrated in an age of persecution when Protestants as well as Catholics sometimes committed atroot ties at which humanity now shudders, may well be questioned. If the Quakers are to commemorate the persecution of their mem bers by the Pnritans of New England, the Methodists to commemorate all the persecu tions they have endured at the hands of other Protestant sects, the Catholics to commemo rate all the real or fancied wrongs they have suffered at the hands of Protestants, and if all the old controversies and contentions are to be revived, we shall have a happy time of it in this land of religious liberty. For prac tical purposes it seems decidedly better to agree to disagree, and to let the intolerance of tbe past serve only as a warning of the necc bfcity for maintaining the tolerance of the present. A tzleqbam froui Washington states that if the change of time in the payment of pen sions had not recently caused an unusual drain upon the national treasury, the de crease of tbe publio debt during the month of May would have amounted to about nine millions of dollars, or at the rate of more tLan one hundred millions per annum. De- Kpite all tbe reductions of taxes, the revenues still largely exceed the Bum necessary to sus tain the Government, and the debt is still being liquidated with unnecessary rapidity. Thk verdiot of the Coroner's faq-aest upon the bodies of some of the violins of tbe Pitts ton, disaster presents a very f oroibla and pro bably a truthful aooount oJ tbe causes of that calamity. It states that tbe- Mining' Inspector, as well as the mine operators, failsd to ob serve, striotly, the requirements of the law. R is painfully evident that better efforts are needed to eafcroe the statute which was wrong from the Legislature by the agonizing scenes at Avondrde. In Great Britain similar laws are rigidly executed; and they must also be sternly enforced in this Commonwealth if ordar is ever to- be established in- the coal regions. The lawlessness of some of the miners is bad enough, but even it is less criminal than the neglect of mine operators to make proper pr 3 visions for the safety of their workmen; and the State- should begin the great work of asserting the supremacy of law and justioe over both capital and labor, by a determined effort to punish coal capital ists for all wilful and dangerous- evasions of their dnties. Somb of the officials of New York have re cently been doing a-really good thing. They have made a vigorous raid upon the lottery policy dealers, bringing hundreds of them into court, and acting as if they, really meant to suppress this demoralizing form of petty gambling. Fer once Gotham has set an ex ample worthy of imitation in. Philadelphia. When will the raid be made hero? NOTICES. RSMARKABLB FACT. TnB'FEorijK Who have been looking.
