EVENING BULLETIN.

TIVE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD.
In the important case now pending be
fore Justice Read, between the Phila
delphia and Erie and Atlantic and Great
Western Railroad Companies,l an at
tack,having'no relation whatever to the
legal questions involved, was made by
our new-found friends from over the
water upon the policy of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, charging
its management with discriminating in
the traffic over their road in favor of
New York and against Philadelphia.
From the fact that its President and
every member of the Board of Directors
but one, we believe, are residents of the
city, and among our most active and re
liable business men, the public might
well have supposed that in them they
were resting upon a solid and secure
footing, instead of a volcano, as alleged.
However, the alacrity and vim with
Tihich this charge was met, convince us
that if their continued and unwavering
policy of fostering thetrade and interests
of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania
beyond that of New York were
doubted, now was the time and
opportunity to set the public mind right.
Affidavits were read from their own
officers and the Presidents and officers
of western railroads, showing that now
and for many years past, the difference
on freight in favor of Philadelphia and
against New York was from $4.50 per
ton on first class to $1 per ton on fourth
class, and upon passengers from $2 to
$2.50; that to maintain this policy, the
Company lost nearly half a million dol
lars in their successful struggle with the
New York roads in 1859, and the geo
graphical advantage of Philadelphia
over New York was thus secured and
has since been conceded. But whether
the Pennsylvania Railroad could main_
tain this advantage for Philadelphia if the
"great through route to New York" be
built by the British capital of our new
friends, we must leave for our readers to
think about and discuss. In their Cata
wissa lease they say the distance of the
"great through route to New York"
will be one hundred miles shorter than
its present route via Salamanca and the
New York and Erie Railroad, and as
-a matter of course, in any struggle in the
future to preserve the natural advantages
of Philadelphia, New York, by the as
sistance of our new friends, will have
gained just so much.
Whether the stockholders of the Penn
sylvania Railroad would be willing to
enter into another contest with their
former advantage in distance thus re
duced, we know not. Thus far in the
,
history of this road their spirit, enter
prise and attachment to Peonsylvania
and Philadelphia interests are proved by
the sacrifice to secure the trade, and in
- works of extension and improvement to
increase and accommodate it. While
Sir Morton Peto promises to our new
friends a divi-ion of all the
earnings of the Atlantic and Great
Western's great through route to
New York, in dividends, every d oil ir of
the earnings of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, beyond a moderate dividend, has
been expended in promoting the in
terests of the commonwealth and the
city of Philadelphia, and every other
city, village and hamlet on its line.
THE sLysn DEPART.HENT.
We are going through our annual dis
pensation of slush, brine and mud at the
hands of our friends, the railway com
panies. Since the careful scientific in
vestigation given to this interesting sub
ject a few years ago by these public
benefactors, the merits of this excellent
though somewhat nasty compound'have
been fully recognized. We hear rumors
of a new branch of the City Government
to be established Which will be called
the Slush Department. It is to consist
of a Chief Commissioner of Slush; with
several assistants, nominated by the
Board of Railway Presidents, and to re
tain their offices during bad behaviour.
Their salaries are to be liberal, and no
questions asked. The duties of the De
partment will be to extend the benefits
of Slush to the pedestrians of the city.
It has been ascertained to the satisfac
tion of our savants that Slush is a bless
ing. It preserves leather. It improves
the health. It bleaches the stockings
and skirts of the ladies. It beautifies
the person generally. It is an advantage
to the streets
themselves. And it is a
great economy to the railway companies.
Therefore let us have Slush.
The Slush Department will establish
extensive Slush Works at a convenient„
point, probably just . above Fairmonne
Dam. There the compound will ibe
manufactured in large quantities of the
best materials. , The city carts (if they
should ever resume their former occupa
tion) will haul the accumulated raw ma
terial from the streets and lanes of the
city to the Slush Works, and will bring
the manufactured article to our doors
without charge to the citizens. In dis
tributing 'the Slush, preference will be
given to the most crowded thorough
fares, and in these the minimum depth
of three inches,has been fixed, as essen
tial to the public health and comfort.
The police are to be charged with the
duty of preserving the public Slush and
especially of keeping the crossings well
covered. Their long familiarity with
this duty, which they have cheerfully
added to their other numerous tasks for
many winters past, gives them a pecu
liar fitness for this responsible office.
This triumph of a scientific Slush over
the old and stupid prejudices of our too
conservative city, we regard as the har
binger of a new and better state of
things. It shows that we are no longer
to be bound down to those effete notions
of a primitive and therefore ignorant
condition, when everything had to be
sacrificed to sparrow-minded notions of
an imaginary cleanliness and a super
stitious hygiene. William Penn and
the bigoted people who surrounded him
are responsible for the slow progress
Philadelphia has made in the rage of
American cities. So long as the city
was well-governed, well-lighted, well
watered,well-policed, they seem to have
imagined that there was nothing to be
desired. To sweep the public streets
was regarded as a virtue,and there is still
existing a traditional rhyme which
shows the hopeless stolidity of the race
of men whose reign is pow, we rejoice to
say, to be superseded forever, by the
Board of Presidents and the Slush Depart
ment. The rhyme ran thus:
"The rain rains and the %villas blow
01(1 Friends to meeting go:
And if the streets be tilled with now"—
perhaps our readers think they sprinkled
the streets with salt and mud. Not at
all. The distich ends:
"They sweep thou' way with a hesom."
Our new Slush Department can hardly
be called an experiment. We have had
its merits thoroughly tested in advance,
ptactically by the railway companies,
and scientifically by the wise men and
philosophers of our city. Slush is a
fixed fact. It is more: it is an institu
tion. Of course our citizens will be
reasonable enough to allow a short time
to get the details of the new Department
into working order, but the subject is so
perfectly understood that we think we
can promise that before the present win
ter is over, every street of the city shall
be knee deep with the precious compound
and every crossing where a policeman
can be spared to guard it, impassible.
PENNSYLVANIA COAL LANDS.
The Barclay coal mountain lies al
most fifteen miles south of Towanda,
Bradford county, and contains over
twenty thousand acres of land. In 1854
the whole property was purchased by a
resident of Towanda, and two Philadel
phians, for $BO,OOO. The property be
longed to the Barclay estate in England.
Soon after this purchase, an undivided
half of the property was sold for 3100,-
000 on twelve months credit. Another
sale of 2,000 acres containing about half
the coal land, was made to the Barclay
Coal Company of Philadelphia, fors2oo,-
000 in stock. The remainder of the
property was then put into a company
called the Schrader Land Company,
who, in December, 1864, sold 1100 acres
of it for 8150,000, part payable in cash,
and part in a mortgage on the property,
to the Towanda Coal Company. In
June last the balance of their purchase
was,. old for 8::200,000, which has since
all been paid.
The Barclay Coal Company has com
pleted a tail:oad, running from their
mines to the North Branch canal, at
Towanda. The other companies, will
transport their coal over this road,
which is about fifteen miles long.
,It is
estimated ihar, about $2C0,000 will be
required to develop the latter property
fully, and bring their coal into' use.
Adjoining the Barclay Mountain, the
Fall Creek Company, of New York,
own some land, which they are develop
ing. The coal in this region is bitumi
nous, and of excellent quality. Only
fifteen years ago, all the above property
could have , been purchased fo: $2O
- or about one dollar per acre. *
As Pennsylvania possesses more than
four times as much coal land as all Great
Britain, the above statement feebly fore
shadows the future value of the rich
miieral treasures of the State, 'upon
which seven States almost entirely de
pend for their supply of coal. If we add
to this her iron, lumber and petroleum,
what a contemptible figure the self-styled
Empire State presents. Even at the
present period, our coal trade is over
seventeen millions of tons, which, at seven
dollars per ton, amounts to ONE HUNDRED
AND NINETEEN MILLIONS of 'dollars, as
the value of the product of 1865. 'Such
facts show the vast, importance of the
hiciden treasure of the Keystone State,
from her geographical position.
THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY for February
opens with a tolerably fair statement con
cerning "Englishtlpinion on the Ameriean
War," by W. M. Rossetti, an Englishman.
A new and promising tale, called', "The
Freedman's Story," by William Parker, is
begun, and the stories by Donald G. Mitch
ell and Charles Readevse eontinued. There
is also a clover, sketch called "A Landscape
Painter," by Henry James, Jr. The deconcl
part of Mr. Hawthorne's Note-Book' consists
of a delightful diaiy of a sojourn in laine
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN : P
in 1837. There is a short paper , on "The
Origin of the Gypsies," by G. W. Hosmer,
and one quite in the vein of Thackeray, by
Charles James Sprague, called "Court-
Cards." Mrs. Stowe's °Chimney corner"
contains, as usual, a good lesson for house
keepers. "Tii ree Menths among the Recon
structionists," by Sidney Andrews, gives a
not very encouraging picture of the "Union
ism" of the people of North Carolina, South
Carolina and Georgia. There is a charming
poem by Whittier, called "Two Pictures,"
and a poor:, one by James Freeman Clarke,
called "Riviera di Ponente," in which at
the end of nearly every verse, the barbarism
is committed of making "Riviera" rhyme
with "rarer," "fairer," "sharer," in one case
with "care," in another with "air are," and
in another With "declare are." The-literary
notices are written with unusual care and
good judgment.
The 'Tiser says that a Fenian Circle with
two head• centres is a geometrical paradox.
.We find in therßoston Herald the follow
ing anecdote of certain liberal church
officers: "About four months ago Mr.
Lewis Fisher, a fresco painter, while en
gaged'in his occupation on the ceiling of a
church in Chelsea, accidentally fell from a
staging to the pews beneath, a distance of
twenty-five feet, breaking several of his
ribs and receiving serious internal injuries
Which will disable him for life, and from
which he is now, confined to his house. A
Jew weeks since the unfortunate man had a
bill presented to•him by the trustees of the
church for repairing the paws on which he
fell, amounting to the sum of $7 60, and he
paid it!" What meanness! The skinflints
might at least have tried to get the poor
fellow some pew-pills.
In London any person under sixteen is
prohibited from driving any sort of vehicle,
and any person under fourteen from having
temporary charge of any horse in the street.
We should think that such weehickts, as
perambulators and velocipedes might be
trusted to drivers of more tender years.
A woman in New York cut her throat
twice and then jumped overboard in a vain
attempt at suicide, and was then sent to the
hospital. Quite unnecessary toexplain that
such an attempt was "a vein one."
One of our exchanges praises an egg,
which it says was "laid on our table," by
Rev. Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith seems to be a
layman as well as a minister.
What is that process by which twenty
women, assembled in oue room, can be
made equally handsome at the same
moment? Putting out the light.
Secretary Welles is so proud of his original

Edward Ketchum has been put to shoe

A Washington despatch says it is doubtful
if the Ways and Means Committee will
tigrt eto the foreign loan clause in the loan
bill. Quite right. We don't want any
foreign claws in our money matters.
Why did the priests starve to death in
