We understand from reliable authority thai some of the members of the Senate and As sembly have a scheme on foot to saddle the citi zens of Philadelphia with a wholesale grid ironing in the city railroad way, whether they (the citizens) will or not. It is of course well known that most of the recent city railway schemes originate’with mere speculators who are entirely indifferent to the amount of damage they may inflict upon the community, so that they can fill their own pockets. When there is sufficient money involved in these operations there is no difficulty in finding legislators of easy virtue who will lend themselves to the work with results that we are unfortunately too familiar with in the history of Pennsylvania legislation. In.this latest scheme to which wo refer, a number of members ot both branches have taken the speculation into their own hands *o as to secure for their own pockets the whole ■ »f the profits, and such of the corporators, ether than themselves, who are named in the hill, are understood to be mere men of straw. The whole business has been managed with •nch secrecy that it is difficult to learn, all the particulars of the route of the proposed new road. It provides for occupying Seventh and Jlinth streets, with branches running to the Kensington depot, Pairmount, the Baltimore Bailroad depot, and the Navy Yard, making a circumbendibus line which will not only run through the centre ot the city,but which pene trates to each of its four corners. It can scarcely be possible that such a road will ever be built and the object of the passage of the bill can only be to levy black-mail on railroad com panies who are interested in other roads. The plan laid down for the accomplishment of the scheme is scarcely less outrageous than the object is that is sought to be accomplished. It is intended, we learn, to “spring” the bill in tiie House to-night, when the friends of the The rules will be ! measure to the Com- j suspended and the avoided . The bill -* liilrf V®" same-pro gramme will be gone through with. g There are, we hope, honest men enough in .j both branches of the Legislature to defeat this infamous scheme if ‘ they were prepared for action upon it,and if all else fails the Governor will certainly interpose his veto to prevent the consummation of the disgraceful scheme. The hurrying of such a bill through, without the ordinary formalities, is sufficient to make any legislator above the degree of an. absolute idiot suspicious of the honesty of the movement; and if the plans of the conspirators are carried out we will take good care that the people shal know through the columns of the Bulletin the names of the legislators who have gone to the State Capitol, not to legislate for the good of their constituents and the State at large, but for the purpose of filling their own pockets. DEATH OF DR. FRANKLIN BACHE. Dr. Franklin Bache, the oldest great grand son of Benjamin Franklin, and a distinguished member of the Medical profession, died at his residence in this city on Saturday afternoon alter a short illness. Dr. Bache was born in I Philadelphia on the 25th of October,-1792, and was the oldest son of the oldest grandchild o( I Benjamin Franklin. . In 1810 he graduated as I Bachelor of Arts at the University of Pennsyl vania, and four years later graduated in the Medical department of the same institution. I The year previous ’he entered the Army as I •Surgeon’s Mate, and tin? fofiowing year was appointed a full Surgeon, a position fie occu pied for two years, when he resigned and com menced a private practice in this city. From j 1824 to 1836 he was physician to the Walnut street Prison; from 1326 to 1882 a Professor of Chemistry in the Franklin Institute; from 1829 to 1839 physician to the Eastern Penitentiary; from iB3l to 1841 Professor of Chemistry in the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy; and in 1841 he was appointed a Professor of Chemistry in the Jefferson Medical College, the duties of which office, he ably and faithfully performed up to the day that he was taken sick with the disease which resulted in his death. He was also at one time President of the American Philosophical Society, and at the time of his death the President of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum. During his long career he made numerous valuable additions to the par ticular branch of science of which he was such an able exponent, the principal of which were the Dispensatory of the United States, pub lished by Dr. Gedfge B. Wood and himself, the first edition of which was issued in 1833. PIANOS. PIANOS. id Chestnut. He was also a "member of the Publishing Com mittee-of the United States Pharmacopoeia, and to his persevering labors, frequently ex tended after the midnight'hour, is due much of the value of that important work. During the recent session of the Jefferson Medical College he showed no evidence of the near approach of death, and was present at the Commencement party given on the evening of the tenth instant, apparently in the enjoyment of health. Prof. Bache was a brother of Col. Hartman Bache, of the Engineer Corps, and a first cousin of Prof. A. Dallas Bache, of tho Coast Survey. He leaves one daughter, and fonr sons, three of whom aro in the Govern ment service. WINDOW SHADES. SPRING STYLES. It is not unfashionable, among newspapers and people of doubtful loyalty, to ridicule and abnse the Navy Department, charging it with want of energy, foresight and wisdom, and es pecially condemning it for not catching the rebel cruiser Alabama. We recommend all who may have been influenced by such criti cism to read the extract from a speech of Hon. Edward Everett j made at a dinner given in Bos ton to the Naval Committee, which wo publish in another column. The magnitude of the work done by the Navy Department since the snm mer of 1861 is astonishing. In fact, a new arid first-class navy has actually been created in that brief period. Secretary Welles and Assistant Secretary Fox can well afford to lay a simple statement of the facts concerning the navy be fore the public, as a- complete refutation of all the idle and frivolous charges brought against them. Arguing the question becomes wholly unnecessary. As to the Alabama, the state ments of Mr. Everett are sufficient to show that everything has been done that was possible for her capture and destruction. But the ocean affords vessels a wide berth, and “ neutral ” ports afford such frequent refuge for the pirate, that it would be astonishing if she should ever be taken or destroyed. We publish in another column an Ordinance now before Common Council, of much interest to the citizens of Philadelphia generally, as well as to the inhabitants of New Jersey, Dela ware and Maryland. This bill has passed Se lect Council twice, and the subject was carefully considered by a Joint Committee of both Councils, in 1862, who reported unanimously in its favor, with an ordinance. It asks that some public wharves of the Delaware and Schuylkill shall be used for the reception and' sale of Cord Wood, under the inspection of sworn measurers orcorders, and that the wood should be taxed iwenty-Jive cents per cord for the benefit of the City Treasury. The objects expected to be accomplished arc : First—A , large increase in the supply of wood. Second —A considerable reduction in the price now obtained from consumers by the dealers, who do not allow producers the actual expenses on it. Thirdly—A handsome increase in the reve nues of the City Treasury. We also copy the memorial to Councils, signed by some of our most influential citizens, the Board of Guar dians of the Poor, the Trustees of the City Gas Works and the Presidents of Benevolent Institutions. RECRUITING FOR gen. •BTAxrnnnK’s CORPS. We call attention to an advertisement in to day’s Bulletin inviting all recruiting agents to meet the Coal Bounty Fund Committee daily, atk the Coal Exchange Rooms, - No. 205 Walnut street. The Committee offer liberal inducements for the filling up of the old Phila delphia Regiments belonging to Hancock’s Corps. They are the 69th, 71st, 72d and 106th P. Y. All recruiting agents for this Corps should ascertain the intentions of the Com mittee at once, so that the work of filling up hese regiments may be prosecuted with vigor. The resolution, signed by John H. Diehl and S. Snyder Leidy, published as an advertise ment in Saturday’s Bulletin, which charges march 21, -ifmi THE AMERICAN NAVY. WOOD BILL, THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER- the Philadelphia Inquirer with being disloyal to the Union, was published without the kuow ledge'of the editor of this paper, and is not endorsed by this paper. From a daily perusal of that journal, we can say there is no ground for any such charge, and wo deem this .Btato* ment ah act of justice to the publisher of the Inquirer. The National Quartkhly Review, edited and published by Edward I. Sears, 42 Bible House, New York, has taken a high rank 111 onr periodical literature. The table of contents of the March number, advertised in to-day’s paper, shows a great variety ot interesting subjects, and they are all troatod with decided ability- Mr. James K.
