EyiSNiNG BULLETIN
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 1864.
THE HEW CITY RAILROAD MONSTER.
In another column we print the bill before
the Legislature to incorporate the Union Pas
senger Railway Company., This is the hill to
which weKlferred on Monday, as one that cer
tain parties were determined to have rushed
through both Houses before it could he ex
amined, and before the wishes of the citizens
of Philadelphia concerning it could be ascer
tained. The attempt was made in the House
last evening. Printed copies of the bill were
not laid on the tables of the members till the
motion to suspend the rules and put it on its
passage was offered. Fortunately one true
representative of Philadelphia, Mr. Thomas
V^ n> rCBls ‘ e <* outrageous proceeding,
and after much difficulty, succeeded, chiefly by
the md of honest country members, in having
it referred to the proper committee. An effort
may. be made to force it through the House to
day, hut we trust without success.
_ Let our readers examine the bill. It author
izes a railroad nearly all over the city of Phil
adelphia, and on streets where none are re
quired. It gives the widest latitude and the
wildest license to the corporators! It exempts
them from the usual requirement of giving
notice of the opening of subscription books,
mid it denies to the city of Philadelphia the
right of preventing the construction of the
load. These two last provisions show that
those interested in the bill know they are
Engaged m . a work that wfll not bear public
acrutiny. Although the measure occupied two
«*-three hours of\last evening’s session,not one
word concerning it: appears in the published
proceedings in the Harrisburg mornihg papers
it being evidently arranged to keep it as much
as possible from the public eye. We thank
Mr. Cochran and the gentlemen who joined
him in resisting this iniquitous scheme, and we
trust they will continue to resist it until it is
.finally defeated. I .
THE WATER PIPETAX.
The proposed reform in the charges made
for water pipe meets the most strenuous resis
tance and the present system is supported by
statements which are singularly.conflicting witii
other statements, made when the tax question
is not under consideration. For example:.
Hr. Birkenbine in his various reports has dis
tinctly stated the host of laying water pipes, as
follows: —
In 1869 (See Report Feb. 9, 1860, p. 76),
26 cents.
1n.1860 (See Report Feb. 21, 1861, p, 39),
26 9-10 cents.
In 1861 (See Report Jan. 16, 1862, p. 37),
16 cents. .
This is clear, plain and satisfactory. Bat
when Mr. Birkenbine reports to Councils on the
the 16th of March that the coßt of laying water
pipe is 66 cents per foot, he necessarily causes
no small surprise. The wages of laborers have,
it is true, increased fifty per cent., and an in.
crease in the price of laying to 22 or 23 cents
would be natural and justifiable. But it seems
that while the wages to laborers hffve increased
60 per cent., the cost to the city his increased
266 per cent, or nearly fourfold! Some ex
planation of this is imperatively demanded,
and we hope Mr. Birkenbine will give it.
Perhaps, however, Mr. Birkenbine will reply
that he has already given the explanation, and
point to his report of February 21, 1861, in
which, on p. 39, is to be found a passage which
is not only exactly to the point, but which re
flects great credit on the writer and will at once
clear up ail difficulties about the 65 cents now
alleged to he the cost. Here it is, verbatim:
• •Tha expense of laying pipe was slightly in
creased ; last year (I 860) it was 26 9-10 cents per
foot. This includes every expense but material;
i. t." labor, surveying, recording, making stops,
plugs, ferrules, etc. <£c The previous year it co-t
but twenty-six cents, showing an increase ia this
item of expense of nin°-tenths cent a foot. This is
to be Tegretted, especially as the only reason that can
be assigned is the immediate and highly undesirable
connection of the Department with politics, three exci
ting elections having occurred during the past year.
Nevertheless, under the circumstances, the surveyors
deserve credit for their good management, for
under other management, and a different organiza
tion of the Department, at such times pipe laying
has cost the city as much as sixty-three cents a
foot.”
PIANOS.
Mr. Berkenbine has here skillfully laid bare
the nicer which consumes the substance of the
"Water Department, and we require no further
explanation to know why the cost of water pipe
does not depend upon either the price of labor
or of materials, but rather upon the political
complexion of the times. After all this, it will
he a little too much to tell property owners that
they are only paying the legitimate cost of the
work. Can any one read the above extract
and doubt that the need for a reform is
imperative 1

A brief hut admirable account of “ The Life
and Public Services of Major-General Meade,”
has just been published by T. B. Peterson &
Brothers, and is sold at the low price of twenty
five cents. It is one of the best of the series
of brief and cheap biographies of distinguished
men issued by this enterprising house, and it
deserves to be extensively read.
Me. Murdoch's Lecture asd Readings.—
An audience of about two thousand people as
sembled at the Academy of Music, last even
ing, to hear Mr. J. E. Murdoch repeat his
patriotic lecture and readings, for the benefit
of the Christian Commission. By his wonder,
fnl elocutionary talent and patriotic energy
Hr. Murdoch has realized over seventy-five
thousand dollars for the good of the soldiers
and the frequent aad hearty applause of his
audience, last evening, testified how highly
his efforts were appreciated. Every one pre
sent, from the veterans of 1812, who listened
with radiant countenances to the poem called
“Scott and the Veteran,” to the soldiers of
1864, in the galleries, who listened to his allu
sions to their own bravery and heroism with
modest silence, paid most flatrering attention
to the loyal, earnest, pious sentiments that were
spoken , and read by Mr. Murdoch. Among
the poems read by the gifted orator with thrill
ing effect were “Gettysburg,” Boker’s “Cum
berland,” Read’s “Song of the Bugle and the
Drum,” and-Drake’s “Ode to the American
Flag.” The latter was one of the best pieces
of elocution we have ever listened to. His
reading of Mr. Boker’s description of the
sinking of the Cumberland brought tears into
many eyes. The readings and lecture were
throughout a decided success.
