TIIE DAILY EVENING ;TELEGRAmrmLADELrnr A, THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1871. INDEPEXDEXCK HALL AKD SQUARE. The PropnMala of the Connecticut Inll tnre for the Purchase of the Property by I the United States. The following letter from a casual correspon dent, written in Concord at the time the resolu tions were offered in the New Hampshire Legis lature in reference to Independence Hall and Square, failed to reach ns with the resolutions. The letter explains the patriotic object, and its kindly suggestions will be an attractive feature in the programme for the 4th of July, 1VT6 Ed. from an Occasional Correspondent. Concord, N. II., June 87. The preamble and resolutions offered In the Legis lature of this State by Judge Bingham, of Littleton, requesting the Federal Representatives of the State to present and Tote for a bill In Congress for tne purchase of Independence Hall and Square In the city of Philadelphia by the Government of the United States, and to formally dedicate and consecrate the same to constitutional liberty and independence on the fourth day of Jnly, 1876, the one hundredth anni versary of the. promulgation of the Declaration of Independence, were conceived and offered in a spirit of patriotism natural to the people of New Hampshire. The love of liberty seems to be Indigenous to the mountain people of the habitable globe. We need but refer to the ancient Greeks, the Swiss, the Highland Scotch, or in our own country to the noble sacrifices and devotion of the people of Kast Tennessee, the mountains of North Carolina, Kentucky, and West Virginia, to the principles announced in the Declaration from the ateps of the Hall in 1770. It Is proposed by the gentlemen having charge of the resolutions that the hall and square should be formally dedicated by the President on the centen nial of the declaration, in the presence of the Su preme Court of the United States, the Cabinet, the Senate, House of Representatives, Governors, and Legislatures of the various States, and that the descendants of the signers of the Declaration Of Independence be invited to be present to receive toe right conveyed to them of the use of the hall on each succeeding Fourth of July throughout all time. This will be a feature of the ceremonial programme to pass m m generation to generation with the De claration itself. The method of Improving the grounds, as dls rusBed here, contemplates the erection of a bronze statue of Washington on the present site of tne west wing, near the corner of Sixth and Chesnut streets, and a similar one of General Lafayette near the corner of FDth and Chesnut streets, with the statues or the signers properly arranged In the rear. This would present the military fronc of the Revolution, backed by the civil rower, which launched us npon the sea of nations. When the title to the property has been acquired by the Government of the United States, I have no hesi tation In saying that the State of New Hampshire will mount upon her own granite, in Imperishable bronze, statues of Joslah Bartlett, William Whipple, and Matthew Thornton. The money to be paid for the property by the Gov ernment of the United States Is to be employed in erecting in FairmountPark suitable buildings for the accommodation of the exhibition of the products of the industries and other Interests of the States and all nations participating In the Centennial Interna tional Exposition.

The good which thu Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company is accomplishing lor iiaitiiuoro ana wnicn the im i : ana New 'iork Central Railroad Companies, respectively, are effecting for New York tlio Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany should achieve for Philadelphia. It is just ns practicable to make Philadelphia a com manding commercial mart aud seaport as it is to a' tract trade aud commerce to the neighboring and rival city of New York, by means of a diversion thereto of Philadel phia capital. The time is within the memory of a living generation when Philadelphia surpassed in foro gn and domestic trade and commerce all the other cities of the l uion. Why may she not regain her former promiuoucu? Philadelphia lias lost none of her natural, geographical, political and economical advantages, but has developed nnd increased all of them. Why should she not be the greatest commercial, as she is confessedly the most im portant manufacturing, the most salubrions and the mo.t beautiful, city of the American continent? To effort such I cui'ticial results is the chartered privilege and mission of the great Pennsylvania Railroad Company, which, crea ted by Philadelphia capital, now controls seven thousand miles of railn ay, permeates the United States and almost dominates the railway system of the Union. Tli at railroad company nuiBt not be pennitte i to shift its ohjective seaDoard point to jersey city and rtcw 1 O. K. Philadelphia can fully employ its best energies, satisfy its largest requirements, and afford an adequate outlet to all it (trade and traftic. Why. then, should any part of the through business of the Pennsylvania R dlroad Com pany be estranged aud alienated from Philadelphia, as its proper Eastern seaboard terminus? Aud yet a lease of nil the railroads and canals of the I'nited Canal and Hail road Companies of New Jersey, aud of thu Philadelphia and 'I ronton Railroad Compauv (of which works the port of New York is the Eastern terminus), to the Penney! sylvania Railroad Company will soon bo executed, un lets such lease can be pi evented. These tworks, at a cost of about forty millions of dollars, are about to be acquired L v the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. Such lease will be practically a purchase made, on a perpetual credit, at a very heavy Irredeemable iutcrest, to wit. ten per cent, per annum, free of all taxes, on more than twenty million. jf d.,IUr.

Will not such proposed lease work au ex tension of the railroads and improvements of the Penn sylvania Kailioad Company, together with its through business to the p rt of New York? Will not "tlio losie of pvpiiih." tha lnrce of circumstances, compel the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company to make every effort, employ every agency and solicitation. and strain every iron nerve tocompete with its gigantic rivals.tlio Krie Railroad Com pany and the New ork Central Railroad Company, for the trade, traflic and travel to and from the port ot New Must not Philadelphia, by tlio detrasive force of such earnest, severe aud mighty competition tor the business v hich will How through (what may then bo termed "the gate of commerce of the United States,") tlio port of New York, become reduced to thu place and condition of "a wav station." exposed to injurious dirci'lmiuatioo in the determined struggle for through business to and from New Yorkf 'J he flattering picturo of that which the Pennsylvania Railroad Company should accomplish for Philadelphia in the future, will then ho reversed, aud in its stead will ho depicted the dire disaster and the with ering und blighting which such a perversion ot Philadel phia capital to New York will ellect, in respect to all tlio material aud social interests of Philadelphia. u such an event the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany may Bhsnnic "to keep the word of promise to tlio ear, but it will break it to the hope" of this fair city. W ho w ishes to look upon such betrayal? Is it just that New Y'ork shall be be.ilt no at the exiiensc of Philadelphia Lv and through a disregard of plighted faith? it is ob viously one thing, bv a connection with the railroads of districts and independent companies, to furnish conve nient transit to travel aud trade seekim? New York, by wav of the Pennsylvania Railroad aud Philadelphia (as the" Pennsylvania Kailrosd Company now does, by meaus of the "Conned ing Railroad" and the other railways i liich it uow strives to practically own), and a very dif feient thing to consolidate (as will be done by the pro posed lease) wi'h its own business ami railroad, the business aud property of the canal and railroad companies foi luing a continuous line between Philadelphia aud .New Yolk, at a co-t aud under conditions which compel the employment and concentration of all its meaus, edorts and energies in au assiduous cultivation of a through business to and iroiu New York as its objective seaport and eastern teruiiuus by the Pennsylvania itailroad Cjui- ' "j'nerc cnnlbe no reason assigned for the centralization nnd consolidation, which seems to bo the settled policy of the Ptunsvhania Railroad Company, and of other com peting aud overshadowing railroad corporations, save that "The good old rule Pufliceth them, the simple plan. 1 hat thev should take, who had the power, And they should kti'ii, who can."

Grant as a Peacemaker. Etc., Etc., Etc., Etc., Etc. Ett. FROM WASniXGTOJT. The Corean Duilnni, Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph. Washisoton, June 29, A Cabinet meeting was held to-day. Meesrs. rish, Delano, and Robeson were absent. Corcan matters were discussed. The conclusion arrived at was that it was a bad business. Momentary triumphs cannot be sustained. It is questionable whether at this time it is politic for the United States to urge war in earnest against the heathen Chinese. The Bout well and Pleasantou Difficulties were discussed. The Secretary urged that his coarse had been consistent. lie had been Com missioner of Internal Revenue himself, and thought he knew the relations of the ofllce to the head of the Treasury. It had been cus tomary and in accordance with the tenor of the act establishing the Internal Revenue Bureau for the Commissioner to be subordinate to the Secretary of the Treasury. He had no feeling in the matter, but simply wished to know if he was Secretary of the Treasury or if Fleasanton was. The President regretted exceedingly such a misun derstanding should have sprung up. Boutwell did not think it was a misunderstanding. It was to him a direct evasion of a plain construction of the law for a bureau officer to act indepen dent of the head of any department. lie com pared It to relations of the Cabinet officers to the President. The President acknowledged that he always thought bureau officers were en tirely subordinate, but hoped that in the present instance the difficulty would be amicably set tled. Boutwell declared it could only be done by Pleasanton'd conforming to the customs of the Commissioner s Ofllce of Internal Revenue. The President said he would advise with Plea- santon, and there the matter rests. BT ASSOCIATED PRESS. I Exclusively to The Evening Telegravh. Coutrart Awarded. Washington, June 29. Benjamin F.
