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.

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. Jiiii i.idi- . A

twenty millions of dollars, (the amount of the funded
debt of the aforementioned companies (lessors), until
the same is paid off and discharged by the Pennsylvania
Railn ad Company when it fall due, some twenty or moro
years hence. 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

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

posed lease) wi'h its own business ami railroad, the

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.
