A doubt has recently been raised as to who was the
.itsther of that very popular book generally known as
•'The Dramatic Works of William Shakespeare."
Some think it was Lord Bacon, and that Lord B.
didn't consider it worthwhile to mention the fact, be
cause he knew that the people of this century would
And out the whole truth, and more too. Perhaps
Sere never was any such person as Shakespedre:
Ssitd,in that case, it would seem very Probable that
D! never wrote those plays. These are important
dentbts: but luckily there is no doubt about the best
and cheapest Clothing in the city being sold. at

STEPHENS, THE HEAR CENTRE.
The English . are beginning to admit
that Stephens, the Fenian' Head Cen
tre, has really escaped out of Ireland, the
only disagreement being as to whether
he has gone to France, or America, or
-somewhere else. The fact of his escape
does not seem to create much distress in
England; indeed all parties, throughout
the United Kingdom, appear to be
rather well pleased. He would have
been a troublesome man as a prisoner,
and Her Majesty's Government would
probably have been as reluctant to try
him for treason as President Johnson is
to try Jefferson Davis. With Stephens
out of Ireland, the Fenians of that
island are without a leader, and there is
something peculiarly Hibernian in the
fact that they are rejoicing at the escape
of the chief of their proposed revolution.
But, after all, Stephens, if he has the
talent with which he is credited by his
admirers, may be of more service to the
Fenian cause out of Ireland than in it.
Their secrets and plans were exposed so
early that the British Government was
able to place such a force in the island
as is able to keep down a revolt, or to sup
press it if it broke out. The only appa
rent chance of success is in Canada, and
the same folly that was enacted in Ire
land is going on in that province. The
leaders in New York have not had the
wisdom to keep their projects secret, and
the provincial anthorities have had
ample time to prepare to repel an inva
sion from our borders, or to suppress out
breaks at home. Still there is a better
chance of success in Canada than in Ire
land, and if Stephens is the right man
for a leader, Canada is the best place
for him to operate in. In this view of
the question there is reason for rejoic
ing among the Fenians that he has
quitted Ireland. If he should come to
this country, however, they ought to
keep his arrival secret, and this we
hardly expect them to do.
THE GAS WORKS.
Colonel Page is entitled to public
thanks for introducing the resolution
for a committee of Select Council to over
haul the Gas Works. That abuses exist
somewhere in that department of the
City Government, there can be little
doubt. While other cities are enjoying
the blessing of good light, at moderate
Trices, we have imposed upon us not
only the worst gas but the highest rates
that have ever been known. We agree
with Mr. King that "everybody, the
newspapers included, is in the dark con
cerning the management." Worse than
this we are in the dark, every way. We
not only cannot see how the gas should
cost so much and burn so badly, but we
cannot see at all. At such prices as we
have to pay, prices that are enough to
excite the wrath even of a calm and
dignified Vandyke, poor men have to
reduce the quantity of gas consumed,
until they are almost brought down to
the standard of the old tallow dips.
In the course of the debate on Colonel
Page's resolution, Mr. Gray introduced
an idea which we should be very sorry
to see put in practice. Mr. Gray said:—
"Gentlemen should remember, how
ever, that this trust is a self - sustaining in-
Stitution 2 and that, like the business of a
private term, there are many things con
nected with their affairs that the public
have no right to know. No business firm
would like to hold a counting-house con
sultation with open doors."
We regret that Mr. Gray did not ex
plain himself a little more clearly. If
the Gas Works are designed for the pub
lic benefit and are managed with the in
tegrity and ability thatis asserted for the
Gas Trust, there should be the fullest
exposition of the whole business before
the public eye. Every consumer of gas
has a right to know for himself how the
servants of the public are discharging
their duties. We can imagine nothing
honestly connected with the Gas Works
that "the public hive no right to know."
Mr. Gray's mysterious intination should
stimulate the keenest investigation into
every detail of the affairs of the Gas
Works. There should be no interest to
be served through this departmentof the
City Government that need sbxinktrom
exposure to the public. Fairly and ho
nestly administered, the Gas Trust has
nothing to rlo but to produce the best
gas at the lowest possible price. It is a
plain, straightforward manufacturing
operation,about which there is no mys
tery, and in which we are all more or
less interested. Mr. Gray, possiblywith
out intending it, offers Colonel Page's
committee a white-washing brush,
which we hope they will respectfully,
.but decidedly, decline.
“NeIiCINLEY et al.”
"McKinley et al." with much more
tenderness for the law than they have
consideration for the sanitary condiiion
of the city; or the pecuniary interests of
the citizens, have succeeded in obtain
ing an injunction to restrain the local
authorities from carrying out the condi
tions of the•contract recently made by
the Mayor, with ,the approval of City
Councils,,for cleansing the streets. The
plea set up by "McKinley et at." was
urged professionally by David W. Sel
lers, Esq., a public-spirited young gen
tleman who is so fond of law and so de
voted to propriety, that at a time when
he was Assistant City Solicitor, he was
also acting as private counselfor aselfish
corporation that was in litigation with
the city. This plea was simply to the
effect that the Act of Consolidation for
bids the awarding of a contract except
after advertising for proposals, when the
contract is to be given to the lowest
bidder; and which also forbids the mak
ing of contracts for a longer period than
one year. "McKinley, et at." profess
to be taxpayers, and they show their
consistency in looking after their in
terests by opposing the fulfilment
of a contract that would, without
doubt, save the city fully one hundred
thousand dollars, while the work of
cleansing would be done much more tho
roughly than under the exploded system
of "the lowest bidder," and the non
fulfilment of the contract by the con
tractor. "McKinley et a 1.," are too
tender by half in their - consideration for
the law, and the judges of the Court of
Common Pleas, while compelled to give
a decision in accordance with their de
sires, plainly hinted both to themselves
and iheir counsel that they regretted the .
necessity which had been forced upon
them by the intermedriling of "McKin
lei, et al." and Mr. Sellers.
The work of cleansing the streets had
commenced with earnestness when
"McKinley et al." and their faithful
henchman stepped in and stopped the
purifying process by the interposition of
legal quibbles. If "McKinley et al." and
Mr. David W. Sellers could be compelled
to wade constantly through street filth
for the next five years,and if they should
be made to suffer a few preliminary
cramns in the event of a visit from the
cholera, in consequence of dirty streets,
we are quite sure that the people of Phi
ladelphia would be perfectly willing
that they should be permitted to try the
virtues of their pet prescription of "an
injunction" by way of cure for their
afflictions. We trust that the Act of
Consolidation may be so amended by the
Legislature forthwith, as to enable the
city authorities to push through the
work of cleansing before the hot months
are upon us. And if the labor cannot be
completed before the thermometer gets
up among the nineties,we wouldsuggest
that the ultimate heaps of savory scrap
ings might be ]eft at the doors of "Mc-
Kinley et . al." both as an act of simple
justice and in order to enable those pub
lic spirited citizens to try the virtues of
an injunction, and of a few boluses of
red tape in the deodorizing of stench and
the 'dispelling of the seeds of disease.
A FANCY PICTURE.
. f
The Philadelphia correspondent of the
London Times is a man of vivid imagi
nation. He writes, under date of Feb
ruary 27th, a most brilliant and pictur
esque account of the effect in this coun
try of the Presidnt's veto of the Freed
men's Bureau bill. He sets out with
saying that it had caused "an excite
ment unequalled in intensity since Fort
Sumter was bombarded in 1861 !" He
goes on as follows:
"This great revolution in sentiment has
only been accomplished by the great mass
of the people neglecting their business for a
week; thronging the streets of the cities; or
ganizing monster meetings; compelling by
main force State:Legislatures and city gov
ernments :to endorse the President; firing
cannon; mobbing newspapers that sympathize
with the _Radicals; and in a general way de
claring that Radical fanaticism shall no
longer imperil the peace of the country.
The remedy is a severe one, but the only
one that could have conquered the disease.
For five years past it has been the custom
to see sympathizers with the South mobbed
and beaten. Now the tables are turned. To
point out a man as a Radical, an Abolition
ist, or a 'negro worshipper' will bring down
the mob upon him and compel him to run for
his life. The 'Copperheads' walk about
cheerfully, holding up their heads as they
have not done for many a long day; they
gather enthusiastic meetings to sustain, the
President, and, strange transformation for
them, have all suddenly become 'loyal'
men and supporters of the Government.'
Was there ever such a lot of lies as this
in one small parcel? Except that the
Copperheads are exultant, every state
ment in the paragraph is a falsehood or
a ridiculous exaggeration. This Phila
delphia correspondent of the Times
either writes his letters in London, or
else he is a man of wonderful inventive
powers.
EDIICATION IN GEORGIA.
The American Union Committee of
Pennsylvania and New Jersey is doing
a noble work in establishing schools for
the poor of Georgia, white and black.
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN : FRILADELPMIA, MONDAY, APRIL 2 1866.
In. Atlanta, especially, they have accom,
plished a great deal. The Atlanta New
Era, of March 27th, says: Ai ,
"People stopped and wondered; this cold,
damp morning, as 240 children were gather
ing together at the 'Atlanta Free School.'
Their little naked feet, red and purple, made
us sad, But their eyes brightened as they ,
were told that shoes and stockings would
be ready for them to-morrow. Not know
where the new school building was situated
they all came to the old one on Walton
street. That building could not hold them
all, so they filled the doorways and window
places. Mr. Adams, agent of the commis
sion, made a few remarks, telling them of
the arrangements -made for them, and re
gretting that they could not enter the new
building before to-morrow.
"Joseph Parker, Esq., who is spending a
few days visiting his schools throughout
the State, then made a short speech to the
children, which pleased them much.' After
this, a division was made, and one hundred
and twenty-five or one hundred and fifty
were sent to learn the situation of their
school house on Garnet street, promising to
be on hand to-morrow morning, each with
four new ones. According to this, the 'A.
U. C.' will have to enlarge its work greatly.
The agent encourages and tells them to
bring a thousand.
"Several of our citizens were out to wit
ness the gathering of these little ones,'and
many were present in order to secure the
admission of their children into the school.
All were perfectly satisfied of the prospect
before them, and the probabilities now are,
that five hundred children will soon be
receiving an education through the means
provided by this noble charity."
Those wishing to assist in extepding
the noble work thus begun, can send
their contributions to the Treasurer of
the Commission, Mr. Samuel Work, No.
