boardin-house.
A Good Place for Yonng Women.
During to-day and to-morrow the dwelling
lionse No. 1005 Filbert street, recently pur
chased by the Women's Christian Association
for a boarding-house for young women, will be
opened to visitors.
The house, which has accommodations for
about forty boarders, has been thoroughly re
paired and renovated; the rooms are all newly
furnished, and are replete with every conve
nience.
Valuable and useful contributions have been
received from some of our liberal merchants
and manufacturers, such as paint, paper, car
peting for one or two rooms, chandeliers, etc.,
and In many practical ways some of our noble
mechanics have given substantial evidence of
their appreciation of this worthy enterprise.
The need of such a house is no longer a ques
tion. Every intelligent observer and reader of
our daily newspapers feels the necessity of a
sheltering Christian home, where the homeless
tollers in our shops and stores may enjoy home
comforts for a sum which will merely cover
expenses, thus making the institution not a
charity, but a help to those who are disposed to
help themselves.
A new and important field of labor for the
ladies who have the gratification of seeing this
enterprise so auspiciously begun is the estab
lishment of a restaurant, centrally located, for
the benefit of those whose places of employment
are too far removed to admit of going home for
a warm, substantial dinner, and whose slender
means precludes from frequenting the restau
rants already established on our principal
thoroughfares.
This enterprise commends itself to the
thoughtful consideration of all whose hearts are
Interested In the welfare of humanity.
Crubltt to Asimalb The monthly meet
ing of the Pennsylvania Society for the Preven
tion of Cruelty to Animals was held at No. 1320
Chesnut street last evening. Numerous letters
were read from the representatives and from
ether gentlemen in the interior of the State,
reporting an increasing interest In the cause
and inquiring as to the proper course of proce
dure in special cases. A public meeting has
been held at Lancaster, preparatory to the or
ganization of a branch society, and movements
are beiog made for the organization ot other
branches. The agents have made a tour aloog
the lines of the Schuylkill Navigation, the North.
Pennsylvania, and Lehigh Valley Railroads,
making some arrests, and calling the attention
of local magistrates to the occasions for en
forcing the laws. A circular was received from
the Royal Society (Loudon), announcing the
postponement of the Sixth International Con
gress until 1873 on account of the European
difficulties. The improvement la the stock
used on the city passenger railways is a subject
of frequent remark. The complaints ot over
loading are also diminishing. A disposition has
been manifested to resume the practice of muz
zling calves, and some arrests have been made,
but the cases were dismissed for insufficient
evidence. The increasing business in the out
skirts of the city and the adjacent counties
renders the aid of additional agent very de
sirable, but the want of funds rsaders their
employment impossible. William T. Fulton,
Esq., was appointed representative for Oxford.
A Deserved Compliment. Mr. Edward Pay
eon, former Secretary of the Volunteer Fire De
partment, and also a similar officer of the Hope
Fire Company, was last evening the recipient of
a handsome Joseph Johnson patent lever hunt
ing case gold watch and chain, the gift being
by Alfred Bamber, Esq. The presentation was
made in the house of the Hope Fire Company,
at the conclusion of the regular meeting of that
organization. The presentation speech was
made by Edward Qulnn, Esq., and was received
by Mr. Pavson himself in a neat and appropriate
speech. The gift is a beautiful piece of jewelry,
and bears en its cap the following Inscription:
"Volunteer Fire Department.
"Hequiescat in pace.
"Presented by Alfred Bamber to Edward Pay
son, as an appreciation of faithful performance
of duty wuiie secretary of the llope Fire Com
pany. June 15, 1871."
The above inscription is no idle compliment
to Mr. l ayson, Itie temperament of the man
would not allow him to be other than active in
the discharge of his duties. A more wide-awake
officer it would have been difficult to find, and
he united with this admirable quality bo much
of good tense and good humor that he became
immensely popular with the old volunteers.

Proceedings Tliii Morning Address by
President Sampson, of Columbian Cola
1jvr Reports' of Committees.
The third day's session of the Constituent
Congress of the American International Chris
tian Moral Science Association was begun this
morning at 10 o'clock, in Common Council
cbamber. Pending the absence of a committee
the members present organized themselves into
a conversazioni, and selected Rev. Dr. Parker,
of Wat-hington, to preside. Prayer was offered.
Rev. J. L. iiidwell, of Massachusetts, and Rav.
Dr. Dick, of Buffalo, and others took part in the
conversation.
Ur. Tarker, of Washington, having occasion to
leave for his nattvo city at 11 o'clock, was called
opon by Dr. ('atlicr for a few remarks.
Ur. 1'oikcr predicted Hie success of the mw or
ganization, hecuuse ho beltuveil that 1'. cootalueil

ie bade tliein God speed and to be of good courage.
And, trusting to God for jrntrtanoij and power tor
support, the new orirau'zation will inarch victori
ously to the accomplishment of its great destiny.
The committee here returned, and the regular
meeting was organized byca llug P(of"S3 ir Ki')ll
Stnrges to the chair.
'1 lie Chairman then introduced Rev. T)r. Sampson,
FriBiuent of Columbian Oollesre, of Washington, a
gentleman who is In thorough accord with the prin
ciples of the new society. Dr. Sampson regarded
the great progress of modern civilization to be
mainly due to the perfection with which U ii car
ried on the work of organizing and harmonizing the
forces of nature.
From the principles of heat we get steam, aad
from electricity we obtain the telegraoh. But these
are elements of nature, the moral ami material. In
England to-day the material Is In advance, while la
Germany the moial takes the precedence. The sab
Ject of Christian ethics fairly coms within the orga
nization of the Intellectual lorces of t.ha day. This
association Is an orgauizatlon for moral power and
control.
The speaVer then went on to Ray that these pro
jects would come from the Christian Church, from
reltftlous and not irreligious men. Religion Ins
always been the controlling power. It was tne am
bition of Cicero to be Pentifex Maximum, because, he
said, In that office he could exert more eontrol, lu
court, camp, and Senate, than In anv otaer war.
The speaker alluded to the great necessity of a
system of Chrimian ethics, and commented power
fully on the weakness in regulatinir certain abuses,
such as divorce for instance, all lrom its want or
organization. He touched briefly on Christian
economics, and then proceeded to discuss the bearing
of civil laws on questions of morals. Liquor shops
are now licensed by law, and It has been proposed
to legalize houses of ill fame.
The speaker drew a vivid picture of the outrages
of the Commune of Paris, aided in their riotous pro
ceedings by hordes of prostitutes. In France this
vicious system has prevailed, and to-daj we see the
practical effects of such a system. This is no taeory.
We have plain, damaging facts. They had the au
thority of government for the violation of the mar
riage relation, and we have the disruption of the
family and the destruction of the btate. What a
frightful result I
The Bpeaker here dwelt npon the distinction be
tween civil and religious liberty, and defined the
limits of each. The Church Is a man's home, his
castle. Government cannon enter it. It can drafc
him into the army and collect his taxes, but when
it attempts to enter bis family It oversteps the end
for which It was created.
Tresident Sampson enforced this idea with great
power, and he was much applauded in consequence.
The address was a powerful and eloquent eil'ort.and
at the conclusion a vote of cordial thanks was
passed.
Rev. Mr. Pentecost, from the Committee on Con
stitution, submitted the following report:
First. This association shall be called the Ameri
can and International Christian Moral Science Asso
ciation. zZS

GRASPING GIRLS.
They Break Into llonnes and Steal.
The police have just discovered the existence
of a predatory band of girls in the western sec
tion ot the city, and though their crimes are not
so beinons as those of the other gangs of law
less youtn, tney nave oeen serious enougn vo
invite the special attention of the municipal
officers. Yesterday the police succeeded in
arresting two of these precocious misses, who
yielded stubbornly to superior force, and, bathed
in tears, were escorted ti the nearest station
boute. Their names they gave as Annie For
man and Sarth Bark, and tbelr respective ages
twelve to thirteen. They broke iuto a vacant
tenaDt-house on Walnut street, between Fif
teenth and Sixteenth, by scaling with the nlm
blencssof a cat, despite their cumbrous skirts,
the rear fence, and "Jimmied ' the door. This
they accomplished with such dexterity an to not
alarm the denizens of the adjoining bouses. To
tbie toute theee gins ana the rest of the "gang"
lesorted nightly, using the bath, washing
their clothes, disposing of the spoils of their
day's labor, and then eiretcblDg themselves on
the uucarpeted floors to sleep. In time the
neighbors discovered them, the police drove
them away, and the house was locked up. A
few days after, these youthful Amazon ap
proached from the rear nnotber largo house in
tbenelghborhood.thathad just been vacated. One
of them leaped on the fence, unfastened the
gate, and let in her coadjutors, and finding the
kitchen door open, they entered the house. Dis
covering that the doot leading from the kitchen
to the other portions ot the houe was locked,
they seized a meat ax that had been forgotten,
and burst it open. Alarmed at the noise of their
assault upon the door, they quickly retreated,
carrying with them two pair of scales and a
thermometer. In their retreat the officers camn
upon them and secured Annla and Sarah. This
gang of girls, one of the offshoots of the noto
rious "Gut" gang, are guilty of petty Urcenies,
aud even house robbery. The captured ones
are held to answer.

involving $2000, and that, strong in the belief
that tne "lawyer was going bacic on mm," as be
said, ne drew a revolver and nrea at Dearie n

bis office, and disappeared into Sansom street.
while Officer John McLaughlin, being near at

In a few moments High Constable Curleyand
Detectives Haggerty and KelBh arrived at the
office of the lawyer, and finding him out, won
dered where he could be. Some suggested "at
the drng store," but in a few moments the
subject of their thoughts appeared, rather ex
cited is mind and pallid in countenance. The
bullet struck him in the side, and he rushed
out, as we have said; but upon looking down,

missile had been stopped in its career by i

tained no more serious injury than a fright
and a small contusion beneath the said button.

General Indian Council.
Chicago, June 16. The special correspon
ded of the Timet reports from Okmulgee, In
dian Territory, June 6, the assembling of the
General Council of Indian Nations, to consider
the proposed constitution. Enoch Iloat;, Indian
Superintendent, presided. Soon after assem
bling General Sherman, General Marcy, Colo
nel McCoy, and Colonel Tourtelotte were Intro
duced and received with special honors.
In response to the request of a delegate Gene
ral Sherman made a brief address.
lie complimented the delegates on their intel
ligence and skill In debate, which had been ex
hibited in previous councils. lie described
the unsafe condition of the Arrapahoes,
Apaches, Cheyennes, Camanches, and other un
civilized tribes. They were In the way of the great
thoroughfare leading from the Mississippi to the
Pacific shore, and in their wanderings they fre
quently come into collision with parties of Ame
rican people. His hearers clearly understood
how idle it was for any power to seek to stand
in the way of the expansion and growth of the
white race.
Their brethren had b9en crowded out of one
State after another the Semlnolos from
Florida, the Cberokees from Georgia, the
Shawnees, Osages, and Wyandottesfrom Kansas
and still the American people, aided with
constant accessions of population from all part
of the world, were yet spreading out and forever
demanding fresh territory In which to found
homes.
The delegates he was addressing represented
tribes who had country secured to them by
treaties with the United States. It was as fair
and as fine a country as the foot of man ever
trod. The population of that Territory did not
exceed sixty thousand persons, and it was fully
capable of supporting in abundance a popula
tion of sixty millions.
It was a finer country than Kansas, a finer
country than Nebraska. It was equal in fer
tility to Illinois. The speaker believed in the
white race. lie knew the American people
were aggressive, and perhaps violent, but be
would have It understood they vindicated their
aggressiveness by their Increasing industry and
energy, and the careful ends to which they
applied all they acquired. He could see no
reason why the Indians should not be the
equal of the white man. Ills body was equally
robust and his brain as large.
Now, said the General, what are yon going to
do? You are met in council to adopt a constitution,
frame laws for the government of your territory,
and harmonize your various tribes nnder one
confederation. Yon cannot do this without
harmony, without mutual concession, and a wll
lingness to yield a corresponding benefit for
every advantage that is conceded to you. You
cannot all be Creeks, Choctaws, or Cherokees
Each must sacrifice something for the benefit of
the whole, and the additional security they
wonld gain by the confederation of their whole
number would pay them ten-fold for whatever
concession they might be called upon to
make.
In honor of the social visits of these distin
guished white brethren, the council did not
enter into the consideration of any business,
but spent the remainder of the afternoon in
pleasant conversation, in which Mr. William
Ross, "Cherokee," Coleman Cole, "Choctaw,"
Pleasant Porter, "Mubkakee," and Joseph P.
Folsom, Choctaw, bore a prominent part.
General Sherman and party left for Fort Gib
son. The business session proper opened to
day. The delegates showed much ability and
familiarity with parliamentary laws governing
legislative bodies.
The chairman, in his remarks favoring har
many and united action, said a vast influence,
adverse to the interests of their people, was at
work in Washington and elsewhere. Railroad
corporations, the moneyed monopolies, were
casting a covetous glance upon that rich and
beautiful territory, and if by want of concert of
action and a fair adjustment of interests tbey
failed to provide themselves with a confede
rated form of government which should give
strength and stability to their political
and social Institutions, the speaker would warn
them that they were placing themselves in
great danger. In addition to the powerful
capital, the whole rude border element was
striving to crowd them out, aud already their
northern border was overrun by unscrupulous
intruders. He would remind them that in
union there was strength, and the utmost need
existed for their urging upon their people to
take prompt action In ratifying a constitution
which should bind their social fabric togetber.
and give Btrength aud harmony to their rela
tions as an united people.

Fight Between the Chinese and the Ameri
can Squadron.
Washington, June 16. A Cabinet meeting
was held to-day, at which Secretary Robesou
read a despatch from Admiral Rodgers, com
manding the Asiatic squadron, received this
morning at the Navy Department, via San Fran
clsco, giving an account of a fight between the
Chinese on the Corean peninsula and the com
bined forces of Americans and Europeans con
nected with the squadrons in those waters.
Although the despatch has not yet been made
public, it is understood that Admiral "Rogers
was conveying to Corea a number of Coreans
whom he had rescued from shipwreck, in
tending to show the friendliness of civilized
nations as contrasted with the acts of the Co
reans who not long ago murdered a French
crew wrecked on their coast.
The boats' crews from the French, English,
Prussian, and American vessels on this mis
sion were fired on by the Chinese, who proba
bly were not aware of the object of the expe
dition. A fight ensued, in which the Chinese
were punished, and Admiral Rodgers Intimates
J a rexwal ot ibP conflict next day.

DEFENSE OF THE EMPIRE.
Prince Napsleon to Jules Favre. . .,
Peace Is signed with the conqueror; Parts, the
grand capital, is in flames, Its finest and most
venerable structures are reduced to anaes. blood 1
flows in streams, your work is complete 1 Tho
deep sorrow which weighs down each French
heart must not be allowed to obscure that rea
son which has tbe right t3 require of you a
strict reckoning for the accumulated disasters
you have caused. The 4th September, the
aimistice discussed at Ferrleres. the defense
of Paris, the preliminaries of Versailles, .
the 18th March, the peace of Frankfort,
the burning of Paris behold your mournful
dates 1 History will call you i ho mme fatal.
It will find In your conduct but one motive
for action the hate for the name of Napo
leon. The waruneste, commenced the 19th of
July, 1870, by the empire, is terminated the
10th of this May, by tbe government without
name to which yon belong. But what is this
government? Is it the national defense ? No!
for you have done nothing but capitulate. la
it a government of national restoration? No I
for France is invaded by anarchy and disorga
nization. Is it a monarchy ? Not Is It a re
public? Still less! Is it liberty ? No! Where
was it at the elections oppressed by decrees of
ostracism, withdrawn at tbe last moment, after
having falsified the choice of tbe citizens? It Is
a collection of every evil, held together by the
absence of order, of security, of liberty, and of
strength. Let us descend the steps by which
you have conducted us to the depths of the
abyss. The 4th of September you propose la
decheance, the riot guided by you drives away
your colleagues, you break your oath, against
universal suffrage you proceed to usurp power
at the Hotel de Yille. The empire had commit
ted great faults, our defeats were great, but
our disasters date from you. Let each bear his
part. Without doubt it was a grievous error to
count too much upon the forces of France, and
to commit in 1870 the fault which Prussia com
mitted InlSOC; too look to much to our victories
under the great republic and the first empire; to
tbink too little of tbe powerful enemy we had
to combat; to contemplate the Crimea In 1854
and Italy in 1S59, instead of calmly looking in
tbe face tbe Gerniau forces In 1870 headed by
remaikible men. I neither wish to,
nor can I, deny these faults,
for which the Napoleons pay far
more heavily by their heartfelt grief than by
their mere exile; but tbe Emperor has never
sought to cling to tbe throne by a peace which
mlgbt save his power by imposing too great
sacrifices on France. Mark! we hove one con
solation, that of haviag fallen with tbe country,
while, on the coutrary, yenr elevation dates
from its misfortunes. You know better than any
one else the conditions which Napoleon III
could have obuiued from Prussia at 8edan.
Undoubtedly tbey were hard, but Incom
parably better tban those accepted by you.'
kj ur BBcriuucD wuuiu uub uavo uurue uuiupari-
son with those vou have subscribed to, with
out reckoning ttiat we should have avoided
the months of disorder brought on by the gov
ernment of the non-defense of Paris, and by the
odious and impotent dlctatnre of those of your
colleagues, emigrants In palloon, pillaging and
oppressing our provinces. Up to the fall of the
empire we had submitted to great misfortunes,
tint. the.BA WAIH rpnaraLhlA as h.Ta haan thriaa vnn
find recorded in tbe history of many great peo
ples; since tbe 4th September, on the contrary,
mere are no longer sncn misfortunes, out tnere
are disasters which find no parallel In history.
The faults belong to the empire, the dis
asters to you; aud I ask myself If, amidst the
faults of the empire, its greatest has not been to
have tolerated wltbin itself your criminal at
tempts. The inevitable consequence of your
usurpation is the revolution of March 18, which '
you accuse to-day, and the burning ef Paris,
for which yon are responsible. I do not judge '
those who under the frightful circumstances have
accepted the perhaps inevitable preliminaries of
Versailles, and still less do I judx,e tbe Assem
bly wbicb ratified them. I do not believe that I
have the rigbt. But you; yon are inexcusable,
for your acts of tbe 4th September, for having
badly defended Paris, for having pledged
the country by a mero rhetori
cian's phrase, for having kept arms la '
the haBds of an over-excited population arms
which were thenceforth useless asrainst the for
eigner, and dangerous to themselves; for having
aggravated the preliminaries by the treaty of
peace; and, alas! in a word, by having finished
with the destruction of Paris. You have filled
up the cup to tbe brim France is Indignant,
and posterity will judge you. In the darkness
in which France is plunged in face of those
furieux ho, in their delirium, burn our monu
ments, overturn the column, and break the
glorious bronze of which each fragment makes
a wound in the heart of each of our
soldiers it is necessary to seek for healthy
light. This is not to be found in the Intrigue
of pretenders, but in the will of tbe nation it
sell; otherwise there can be nothing but strug-'

is in the negation of modern society; in a white

negation of universal suffrage; in the "white

It is not thus tbat France can find the haven
