PEBBY & CO„ Taking these data for a starting point in an estimate of the population of the city, we find that on a frill vote both in 1860 and 1866, thirty-three per cent,, has beenadded within six years to the number of persons exer cising the right of suffrage. Taking the same ratio of increase in respect to popula tion, and fixing the number of sonls in the city in 1860 as 600,000, we find a grand result of 800,000 as the population of the city at the present time. The population of Philadel phia in 1866 is scarcely leas than the popula tion of London was at the beginning of the Nineteenth Century. The British metropo lis was then eighteen hundred years old. Philadelphia is now one hundred and eighty four years old. Prospering as it does, who can fix a limit to the growth of the city, in view of its present ratio of increase of popu lation? “THE EAST DirCH.” Colonel Wm. E. Simms, an ex-member of the U. S. and C. S. A. Congresses, andthe author of the famous “last ditch” resolu tions which passed the rebel Senate, has concluded not to fill the ultimate excava tion. Like the man who would not die in spring-time, and upon the whole, and upon mature consideration, would not die at all, so long as he could help it, Colonel Simms has concluded to “weather it out” a little longer, and he has just been marrying a Kentucky heiress, by way of having com pany in his super-ditchy pilgrimage. Your terrible fire-eater, who declares hi 9 willing ness to devour his weight in wild-cats, is generally satisfied to take to his heels and get out of the way when the individual abo riginal feline shows her teeth and extends her daws. Colonel Simms is only a type of bis class. “Last ditch” talk was cheap and popular in the early days of the rebel lion; but when it came to the pinch 'the Colonel concluded that life with a rich heiress was preferable to a ditchy death without one,and so heembraced both life and the aforesaid heiress. The “last ditch” has been given np for city cor ner lots and hundred-acre farms, and, like the rest of his tribe, the fierce Colonel and ex-M. C. has proved himself an adept at adopting himself to circumstances. There is a vulgar, but expressive phrase known as “bluff” which fits the Southern disease precisely. The North refused to be intimidated with Colonel Simms’ little bluff game of the “last ditch,” and that warrior, finding that the run of the cards were most damagingly against him, changedhistactics and looked about for Bach consolation as a rich wife would bring with her. -The same stubborn and substantial" reasons which brought Colonel Simms to his trumps, will bring his colleagues to a patient considera tion of the Constitutional Amendment; and finding that they cannot do as they please, they will give up their “last ditch” en trenchment,and scrambling out of the mirei they will embrace the generous offer of the loyal people of the country and resume their places in the Union upon fair and equitable terms. Like the sheep of the his torical “Littie 80-peep,” it is only«heces sary to “Let them alone, And they will come home, Bringing (heir tails behind ’em.” THE RKVOMTIOXiBY HUMOR. All attempts to injure the Ledger or its proprietor, on account of the exciting Wash ington despatch it published on Thursday, •will he as futile as they are wicked. So also of the attempts to implicate any member of the prominent banking-house mentioned in connection with it. Mr. Childs, we hear, is having a thorough investigation of the affair, and we hope all the facts will soon be laid before the public. The following arti cle, from the Press of to-day, is heartily en dorsed by the business community of Phila delphia, and all acquainted with the parties referred to: “Whatever may be the opinion of the public a 3 to the authorship of the •Washington despatch signed *a,,’ published in the Ledger ol Wednesday, we cannot too strongly deplore the effort making to impute a corrupt or speculative motive to George W. Childs, the prppneti n.l that paper, whepermittedlis publication; not, lesa'unjost Is the attempt to involve a well known banking-heme in the same accusation. Of Mr. Childs' integrity and high social charac er, there can oe no question; and we learn that the first the heal or the banktrg-house referred to knew of the unfortunate despatch, was In New." York, irom which point he telegraphed to know If it was true. It gives us great pleasure to reteat our belief tha. no corrupt or specu istive motive can be laid at the door eltner or Mr Childs or his friend. He wae almplydecelved as many other newspaper proprietors have neen.” THE AXE AT WOBK AT THE MUST. The work of guillotining officials who re fuse to desert their principles and follow Andrew Johnson in his treachery, haßbeen coinmencedat the Mint in this city. Seve ral valuable' men have been discharged, and the axe hangs poised over ,'the heads of others. When open Copperheads like Wm. iV Johnston can be found to do the dirty •work of the administration, itis no matter of surprise that they ply the axe briskly; but when men like the Hoi. William Mill ward, who has enjoyed many honors and held lucrative posts through the party he is' THE U&IL YWMWtf BUL now persecuting, descend? ;.t° Bucb an em? ploy men t, we are at a loss' whether to feel most pity or disgust for them. The Age said a few days ago: “Nov. T umn are allowed to vote as their judgments Jic»; fate.” We have heard of several Govern-' ment officials in this city who exercised this right last Tuesday. Since then they have been informed that their services wouid be dispensed with. Vote as you please, cer tainly, and then “walk the plank” for so doing. Who can complain of such exercise of judgment as this? John B. Myers A Co;. Auctioneers, Nos. 532 and 234 Market street} will bols dcuring -next wees the-following important ssleB.TU: On Monday.
