JTew Deiot. Tho Penn'a. Railroad
Company has commenced tho erection
of a new depot building in West Phila

present station at Thirty-first and Mar

located on ground bounded by Market
and Thirty-second stroots and Lancas
ter avenue. It will stand back from
Murket street 80 feet, and from Thirty
second street 50 feet. The open space
will be pnved with Belgian blocks, so
that carriages can drivo up to tho
plutforms. Tho road lias no meaner
oxcuso for a depot on tho wbolo line
than tho one now used in that city.
Tho old rat harbor is a disgrace to the

To illustrato : Last week the Chairman
of a committee inquired of tho Secre
tary of the Treasury, how many ports
of entry wero kept open where the
cost of collecting the revenues exceeded
the sum paid into tho Treasury of the
United Slates. That odlcer answered
eighty-six, ten of which aro in the
loyal Stato of Sluino. The aggregato
rvulizod by tho Government was 1279,
CC4.39, and tho sum paid to the officers
for collecting this amount was 1463,
1)08.79. More than this, thoso eighty
six ports employ over two hundred Col
lectors and clerks. Such is Grantism.

THE COLOU I.1XE.
There are rumors from Washington
that the colored troops do not fight md
bravely for "the govornmeiit" as form
erly. The Philadelphia Timei in allud
ing to tho matter says:
Mr. Grant is threatened with the
serious displeasuro of tbo Southern Re
publicans of African descent, and in
deed seems to have already incurred
it Tho position of Moses to the col
ored race is a difficult one to fill satis
factorily to all concerned. Andrew
Johnson found himself obliged lo va
cate it .very soon after assuming- it,
with much ostentatious enthusiasm.
But Mr. Grant cannot afford, just now,
lo go out of the Moses business without
wholly abandoning his darling third
term ambition. We are not surprised,
therefore, at the anxiety j hich certain
bostilo remarks of the colored Senator
Bruce are said to have awakonod In
the Presidential breast. Tho mighty
occupant or tho n Lite llouso is re
ported to have sent for Bruce after
ward, but Bruce didn't go, and bis
colored friends say the breach is too
wido to bo beiiletl. Morton will doubt
less succeed to the favor of tho colored
wing of the party. Ulaino haa no
ebanco iu that quartor. His anti-am
nesty speech was almost as offensive
to the colored leaders as to the South
ern Democrats and to tho growing
sontiment in the North for reconcilia
tion
tut Bacon Subsidy. The Radical
loothold In the SoSth seems to bo but
for tho future. Further evidence of
tho way in which they run tho machine
in Alabama is furnished by the pro
ceedings in tho Huralson-Bromborg
contcstod election case, now at issue
before tho House committee. It trans
pires that, instead of distributing the
supplies of government bacon among
the Bufforors by last season s overflow
tire party managers doled them ont as
a- political subsidy, taking good care
not to begin too long before tho elec
tion nor stop too soon. Six counties
which had been affected least by tho
floods woro thus "worked," with the
result of an increase of seven per cent.
in tho party vote, while in tho other
fifty-nine counties the Democrats made
a gain of twenty per cent. At tho
same timo we have news of a caucus
by Soutborn Republican Congressmen
to deliberate upon a plan for tho re
covery of their lost supremacy. Unless
Mr. Spencer has somothlng bettor to
propose, why not try bacon?
"Onk jiy Oni the Roses Fall." A
Washington dispatch says : " In 1872
W. T. Haines, a Pcnnsylvanian, was
Commissioner of Customs. In the cam
paign of that year ho visited north
western Pennsylvania in company with
Hon. W. W. Kotchum, now a member
of the House from, .Luzerne, for the
purposo of enlightening the people on
their political duties. I heard hnn at
Titusvillo declaim fur an hour on the
superior virtue of tbo Republican par
ty, and tho chagrin tbo country would
have to meet if the voters were so on-
grateful as to turn himself and Grant
out of ofHco. This n-.ofting I pick up
a paper and see that this same W. T.
Haines, sometime sinoo supercodod by
Hon. Henry C. Johnson, of Mcadvillo,
has bad to give bail in the sum of (15,-
000 for his appearance to answer the
charge of conspiring and accepting a
gift while in office to pass a fraudulent
claim. This is but a small item in the
great stream af corruption which char
acterises the administration of Grant;
but like those other larger and more
oxtonsive swindles, the whisky frauds,
it tells how tbo people have been
deceived."
Legal Rascality. Two years ago
tho Legislature of this Stato passed an
act compelling the respective counties
to pay all Commonwealth flouts, pro
viding tho crime charged eould be
raisod to the dignity of a felony. No
prosecutor, therefore, runs any risk ot
having the costs saddled on him by
the jury, no difference bow futile the
crime ; bennies, tho lawyers gain a tee,
and the 'Squiro, Constablo, and a dozon
of witnesses securo their cost too. This
may bo called legal farming at a very
heavy expenso to the taxpayers, but
it Is mighty cheap In a judicial sense.
This Is not all. This piooo 'of 1-tfal
Ivdgcrdeinain bas worked so well and
has replenished the pockets of the legal
fraternity and professional witnesses,
that they propose tn pxfend tho sanio
act to ccvor all cases of mitienciinor,
and such a bill is now before our Leg
islature. I f the taxpayers do not want
their farms, and hotisci and lots stolen
by legal enactments, they had bettor
inform their members of the Legisla
ture to defeat this iniquitous bill, and
break up this miserable system of legal
ized robbery.
After Pobf.u Scfienck. Tho author
of tbo poker pJuycr's manual, who is
now representing us id tho English
Court, is to bo looked after by a Con
gressional committee On Monday of
last week, Mr. Pcarcc, Republican, of
Massachusetts, introduced a resolution
in the House, directing tho committee
on Foreign Affuirs to investigate the
connection of Minister 8ehoiick with
the Emma tnino scandal and tho Ma
chado claim. Had Bchonck pos
sessed (ho honor which should charac
terize on American Minister, ho would
have resigned lon, ago. Now that
tho committee on Foreign Affairs have
Uin directed to make an inquiry Into
tbo matter, and call upon the Secretary
of Stato for any iiiiurmation which,
without detriment to the pubtlcscrvjce,
ho can furnish, the country may ex
peH soon to learn in what light the ad
ministrutioa hyiks upon tbo whole
matter, and what it prop.osos to do in
llio premises.
Tin Stay Law. House bill No. 136,
relating to Judgment! and slay of exe
cution, has passed tho second reading
in that body. What its fate will bo,
no ono Rooms to k now. The bill grants
a stay of execution for two tears, on
judgments now remaining unsatisfied,
or which may bo obtained within six
months from tho passngo of tho act ;
provujod, the defendant can show that
lie Is Ihe owner of property to doable
tho amount of the claims held against
him ; or, the defendant may give securi
ty to the Court or J ustice of tho Pesos
before whom tbo judgement was ob
tained, which aseurity shall coirsist of
ono or more persons, who shall satisfy
the Court or Justice that thcirproperfy
at a (ou4- valuation is worth doublo the
claim.
THE COMMKXTS.
The comment on the trial and ae-
.initial of the murderer, Landis, for thai
killing of the editor of tho Vineland
(N. ).) Initrpenitent, nr strange and
ofteo bitter.. The jury cleared him, bo
cause it considered him insano. Wo
notice that that metropolitan journal,
the Now York Tribune, however, views
the matter differently from tho rest,
and thinks that tho killer of Carrtith
was justified, not because he was insano,
but becuuso Carrtith had attacked him
in his newspaper: "The people who
sustain, wanton, brutal, and perpetual
defamation of private character," say
the Tribune, ''and aupwrt tho editor
who seeks to stab a man he dislikes,
must oxpoct an oocasional hunted vic
tim to take matters in his own hands.
It is a, relapse into barbarism, cannot
bo justified, and cannot be concealed
by any transparent picas of Insanity.
But how much better is that stale ol
society and of law which seems to leave
tho man no other modo of protecting
himself and his family T"
Well, if that is to be the programme
in tho future, the editor of tho Tribune,
Whitelaw Reid, had bettor put on a
brass hat and a steel vest ; becauso he
invites outlawry. Wo have very little
objection to the u jo of a cow-hide occa
sionally, but pistols and bludgeons
should never be brought into requisi
tion. If Carrulh was alive, ho might
mako restitution for the personal
wrong he done to Landis ; but now tbo
bill is settled forever, and Landis' hands
are stained with tho blood of .a fellow
mortal which will annoy him inorfl for
the balance of bis life than the sarcasm'
of the dead editor.
Delano Suoet ik not "Cuooked"
Too. Noto was made, the other day,
of tho existenco of a (225,000 deficiency
in Columbus Delano's old ensh-box,
and of the ingenuous suggestion ol
Chandler's clerks that the shortago
was ascribable to the great Indian con
fab in the Black Hills country lost
summer. It was a pretty big deficit,
but a still bigger story, and oven llyj
members from tho rural districts laugh
ed at the idea. Tho Interior Depart
ment, however, thought it explanation
enough, and as it vouchsafed no other,
things' took ihelr course. By the in
struction of Congress, the President
will now appoint t. competent military
officer to visit the Red Cloud agency
and investigate. It's only fair to say
that tho Uouso is not in the humor to
accept as thut officer's report simply a
revised copy of. Brother Smith's com
mission's conclusions. This time the
lacta must bo forthcoming.
Audacity. Wo havo had Boochor
and Tilton for some time j and now
comes "Miss Bessie Turner," whose
solo claim to celebrity and fiity ounts
admission at the door, so far as wo
know, is her appearance as a witness iu
the scandal trial last summer. Nor
was that appearance such as toongago
the pure fancy or interest the healthy
intellect, For tho most part she dis
tinguished horsulf by a certaiu impur-
viousncss ofoouuloiianee not apt to bo
found in desirable young women, and
by the reciul of adventures suggestive
equally ot A lowd imagination and a
conscience not sensitive lo jural obliga
tions. Arid yet she promisee to lec
ture! We doubt whether, even if Mr.
Boccbcr himself furnished tho manu
script, her discourse could bo an edify
ing one, But if we should advise peo
ple not td go and bear it, she would
have a crowded house. So wo refrain.

affairs of the Freedman's Bank will

who put money in that institution,

proven that the bank was so managed
and officered as to ojien tho way to

THE TltBASVIlf MSG.
This gigantic ring of Sluto robbers
has floaty, through tho Deaiocrutio
majority In the Lower House, been
brought Into subjection In tbo people
and fair dealing. During the past rlf-1
toon years that band has taken outofthoj
State Treasury just that many millions,
of the peoples taxes. The average has
boon at least a million a year. And
the only member that bas (lied was
poor Evans.
Tbo Finance bill which finally passed
the Homo by a voto of 152 to 19 will
bo found below. The Radicals In the
Senate exhauslod all thoir strategy to
defeat tho measure, but wuie finally
compelled to swallow this Democratic
pill, which should bo entitled "An Act
to present future robberies of the Stulo
Treasury."

as to authorize tho uso or application

Sec. Z. That tho Stato Treasurer

catoa very plainly that there is no hope
of reform within the Ijmjlj, of tho Re
publican party. Tho facts In regard
to Billings, and his complicity In the
worst acts of Durell, aro well known.
It Is putting tho cbbo in modcrato lan
guage when we say that previous to
tbo iiiiiwtraliop of Grant no Presi
