IVEIqING BULLETIN. BAnitDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1866. lasou-savnia mikeuirrEnir. it is a curious subject of reflection to - wpeeniate upon what the condition of our eotuftrlvrould be in 1866 were there now no more potent agencies in the way of labor-saying machinery than were in use a century •ago. The absence of the loco motive, the steamboat,and . the magnetic telegraph would confine communities to narrow limits; and vast districts that now "blossom dike the rose" would still be a howling wilderness. The country around the old centres of commerce and manufactures would be carefully culti vated with bungling and inefficient im plements, and the lumbering wagon and the toiling horse or ox-team would bring , the-scanty products to market. The want of cheap and rapid carriage would prevent the development of new portions tti territory, and while the great cities would lack the 'products of the far interior, end of the wide fertile prairies of the West, the pioneers of civilization, who would have been bold enough to follow the course of the great streams towards the setting sun, and to cast their lot in the western wilds, would have been cut off alike from the advantages of a distant, although readily-reached, market for their own produce, and from the enjcyment 'of the luxuries and necessaries of the commercial and manu• - facturing sections of the country. But it •would not be alone the disad vantages of a want of convenient transit between distant extremes that would operate to the common damage ofagricul tural, 'manufacturing and 'commercial producers. There would be no reaping, mowing, plowing or threshing-machines to lighten the labors of the-husbandman and to allow him to cultivate hundreds of acres,without the necessity for a re course to as much dear bought manual toil as his ancestor employed in manag ing comparatively narrow .fields. The want of the cotton-gin, of the spinning jenny, of improved looms, and of the sewing-machine, would contribute as much as the want of cheap motive power, in the way of transit, to make dear and•scarce, textile fabrics and gar ments that are now plentiful and easily procured. The thousand and one articles that fifty: years ago were deemed luxu ries are now looked upon as necessities, because machinery has lessened the cost of their production and widenedthe sphere of their employment and use -would all be wanting were the mechani cal world to go back to the • condition of 1766. In the cities .the want of the steam engine, the planing and moulding mill, and other labor-savlEig,contrivances now so well understood, would make for us dearer and less attractive homes,and de prive -us of manifold means of personal comfort . and of tasteful elegance that have become so customary that we fail to appreciate fully, because we have never suffered a deprivation of them. But the absence of labor-saving ma chines...won/A create intellectual voids, as well as deprive us of what have be come physical necessities. The rotary printing, press, the steam engine, the lo comotive and _ the magnetic telegraph are all absolute essentials to the produc tion of the live newspaper of the day, and to its distribution among tens of thousands of readers. But for the com bination of these great modern agencies, a Franklin press of the ante•revolation ary era .would stand in the place of that' marvel of mechanical skill, a "Last Fast." The news, instead of being brought from almost .all the corners of the earth _up to the very moment-of going to press, would be-conveyed to the hands of the editor by the lumbering .mail coach, ,or the slow pest-rider. The ancient and inefficient ,press, with -a capacity of printing almndred andkftyar two hun dred impressions an hour,with the aid of the strong-armedpressman, the spry "fly boy" and thegrimy manipulator of the' inking swab, would be distributed by such feeble and halting agencies as had been employed in gathering the material for getting up.akfew columns of so-called news, upon a.sheet of hand-made paper. What is true of newspapers, in this cony motion, would also apply to books, and the want of labor-saving machinery would involve dearness and limited cir culation, which would make ignorance the rule and intelligence the exception, and would speedily lower the high standard.of the American character in respect to the general .diffusion of know ledge. There are also social as well as c om mercial, manufacturing, agricultural and intellectual considerations which occur to us in this .connection. That all that tends to elevate and refine, promotes social advancement, is so simple an axiom that it needs no argument to enforce it. All labor-saving machinery has this direct tendency, in the adorn ment of our homes, in the better secu ring of personal comfort, in the populari zation of sound literature and of cheap newspapers, and inasordingreadyfacili ties for wide-spread travel and general observatfon. The locomotive and th e magnetic telegraph bring friends into prompt and convenient communication both by message and in person, and in this way both exert a tremendous social and humanitarian influence. The man'who watched the straggles of the vapor from boiling water to es cape from a tea-kettle, discovered a force that has revolutionized the world; the invention of a crank or a cog -wheel has ere now perfected a machine that has added millions to the material wealth of mankind, and given vast gains to the comfort and the elevation of humanity; an apparently simple t9ogibination of (lists and dashes made • THE, DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.-PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, NOATENTRE 4 24. IgAg -TRIPLE SHEET ,the wonderful agent of electricity ser f ; viceable to man--as a swift transmitter of news, a reliable commercial agent and a doer of deeds of holy charity. The hard and harsh logic of such labor saving machines as PaFrot and needle guns havesettled great national questions more promptly and effectually than the nicest diplomaey would have done the same task; while labor-saving con trivances in the shape of locOmo tives and iron rails were perfected' just in the nick of time in 1847, to. enable the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to transport from the overflowing granaries of the teeming West millions of bushels of breadatuffs, to save thousands of starving Irish > families from a miserable death. Within a few days the. most wonderful achievement of the most scientific developmentnf the age has been performed. A message of gen tleness and kindness was sent across the Atlantic through the medium of the telegraphic cable, with the aid of a bat tery formed by a single drop of water, a mere tear, placed in a percussion cap! The fact brings to mind the lines of the the poet-orator, Conrad:' "At such a sight Hope smiles more heavenly bright. Pale pensive Pity trembles with delight And soft-eyed Mercy stooping from above. Drops a bright tear—a tear ofJoy and love!" Love for mankind, and joy that so gentle an agency should perform so great an achievethent through . this latest, and in some respects, greatest of labor-and-time-saving contrivnaces. ICEI47IIAING REASON. Reports from Washington all seem,to indicate that the President's stubborn= ness is breaking down before the over whelming demonstration of popular opinion, and the fear of the consequences of a continuance of his insane opposi. tion to Congress. Doubts of the ability of such of the Republicans as have not adopted the policy of an impeachment, to control the action of those who have proclaimed themselves favorable to such a measure, have unquestionably had their effect . upon Mr. Johnson's mind. Mr. Seward's sublime optimism has failed to account for the terrible failure to divide and demoralize the Republican party, and to erect a Johnson party on its ruins. The Congress which Mr. Johnson fondly hoped would be repu diated and scattered from his pathat the elections, he finds returned by largely increased majorities, and ready to oppose a more perfectly compacted barrier in his way than ever before. Congress and the people are too strong even for hia obstinate will, and, as they will not go to the wall, he must. What is the duty of- Congress, if this view of the President's change of posi tion is correct? We have no hesitation in saying that Congress should treat any advances that he may make with dig nified respect, but that they shohld pro ceed in the important work before them without any regard whatever to his sug gestions or opinions. The President has gone too far in his abuseof his executive' power ever to be trusted again. He has shown too flagrant a disregard for Con gresS to be permitted to take part in the great work of reconstruction which he has thus far thwarted and brought into contempt. The •country at large has pronounced a verdict upon the:Presi dent's course which no member of Con gress has a right to disobey. Mr. John son has shown what mischief a self willed, reckless, despotic and ambitions President can work, and it is the plain business of Congress to take warning by experience,and to put it out of hispower to repeat in the future the wrongs of the past. Mr. Johnson has plainly forfeited his claim to be trusted by any party, and it would be the quintessence of folly and weakness for Congress to fall into the same fatal blunder which the Presi dent committed when he ruined the brightening prospects of the South by his false leniency, and accepted the mere glittering professions of a few par-. don-seeking politicians for honest ex pressions of a restored loyalty. The people will hold Congress rigidly to account for Abe doingeof the coming' session. They want no more weak com promises, no more sentimental dallying with , questions that need to be handled with a firm, manly, fearless grasp. If the President chooses to co-operate with Congress, so much the better, but Con. gress is strong enough to work without him. If the President chooses 3 to return to the ranks of the party which he so disgracefully deserted and vilified, so much the better, but he cannot expectto . be restored to his old rank. The country will greatly rejoice if it can have peace and quiet at Washington, instead of bickering and contention; but it de mands of Congress a security - for the future Conduct of the President, which no assurances of his will be able to give. The test of the President's sincerity in abandoning his peculiar policy, if he shall have the wisdom and moral cour age for that step, will be his use of• the appointing power. As the Senate sweeps out the Augesm stable which he has made of the federal patronage, how will Mr. Johnson, propose to fill the vacancies ? There is but one honest course before him. Honest, well-tried, patriotic men have been decapitated by thousands, for noreason except their opposition to the policy which the Pre sident himself is now said to be aban doning. Their places have been filled with a class of men, amongst whom political corruption, degra dation - and incompetency prevail in overwhelming proportion. There has scarcely been a single case where the individual who has been ap pointed to a vacant office has been of an average standard of common political or personal respectability. , Will the President honestly acknowledge •Ms error ? When the Senate clears out the crew that now disgrace the federal offices, will lie put Pack the' good and true men, the maimed and wounded sol diers'wholave been remov - ed make way for the miserable toori of his nneuc cessful Ution his own party ? Tills would be the fair test of thePresi detyt's returning reason; time will soon ehOw whether he' is equal to it. TWO CIITEES. At last t he , official canvass of the vote of New`York city, in'the late election, is convicted. The whole number of votes in the city was 114,169. In October last, the whole number; of votes in Philadel phia was 102,022. These figures, and those of the Presidential elections of 1869 and 1864, enable us to present the following, comparative ,statement show. ing the progress of the votes of the two cities: VOTES OF THE TWO CITIES. 1860. 1864. 1866. Neiv - - 95,583 110,390 114,169 Philadelphia, - - 77,247 99,823 102,022 Excess of N. Y., 18,338 10,577 12,147 In 1864 the voting of Philadelphia would probably have been larger, but for the fact that the votes of many of our soldiers, absent 'in the army, were never returned. The fairest comparison for'both cities is in the votes of 1860 and 1866. That of New York has increased from 95,583 to 114,169, or 18,586 votes; that of Philadelphia. has increased from 77,247 to 102,022, or 24,775. The excess of. New York hasTa!len froth 18,336 to 12,- 147: or about fifty'per cent: The census of 1860 and the voting of that year, in the two cities, enable us to ascertain the percentage of voters to in.. habitants, wbich isshown as follows: • centage 1860. rotes. Population. of votes . New York, - 95,583 805,658 842 Philadelphia, 77,247 566,529' 7.32 Exces.s of New York, - 240,129 Allowing a similar percentage of vo ters to inhabitants in 1866, we' may ar rive at an estimate of the population of the two - cities at present, as follows: Percentage 18(6. Votes. Population. of Votes. Tcw York, - 114,169. 961,202 842 Philadelphia, 102,02.2 746,801 7.32 ExceEs of New York, -. 214,401 In other words, while New York, in six years, has increased her population from 505,658 to 061,202, or 155,544; Phila delphia has increased hers from 565,529 to 746,501, or 151,272. The difference in the per centage of voters to inhabitants in the two cities is explainable by the cir cumstance that voting is a much easier business in New York than An this: city, and the proportion of illeg•d voters is larger. But as it _is about the same atevery important election, it is fair to make a calculation for this year based upon the proportion in the census year, 1860. A careful enumeration of the inhabitants of the two cities would shoW something very near our figures. New York has, probably, between 960,- 000 .and 1,000,000 inhabitants;, while Philadelphia has between 760,000 and 500,000. But the growth of - Philadel phia is more rapid than that of. New York, and the census or 1870 will show the excess of New York very consider ably; reduced. The `•stabat Mater." An enormous audience filled every part of the Academy of Music last evening, when the Bateman Concert Troupe and the Handel and Haydn Society of this city per formed Rossint's Stabat Mater. The enter taisment opened with Mendelsohn's over. flare of Buy Bias, admirably played by a well- chosen orchestra, led by Mr. Carl Sentz. Neat came HandePs "Let the Bright Sera phim," sung by Mme.. Parepa, with horn obiigato by Mr. Birgfeld,--a difficult piece, in which the singer and player both acquitted themselves well. The first movement of a concerto for violin, by Lipitzky,, was ex quisitely played by Mr. Rosa, well sup ported by the orchestra. The •Stabat Mater was opened well by the chorus of the Handel and Haydn Society, numbering two or three hundred good and well• trained voices. Signor Brignoli's "Cujus animam" wan not a sue- CEEB. His beautiful voice is not trained for such music. He lacks the fervor and feel ing that are required, and the occasional explosive delivery of a high note is nocom pensation for the absence of the qualifica tionaieally needed. The duo, "Qv& est homo," was sung correctly, though Mme. Parepa sang her part very coldly. Mrs. Sehimpf, though laboring under a - cold, sang with much greaterexprewsion. Signor Ferranti's "Pro peccatia" was deficient in feeling, and his voice is not full enough to express the music in all its richness. The beautiful quartett, "Sancta Mater," has been pinch better sung on many occasions here, hy artists all of whom were natives. Mrs. Schimpf's "Fac ut portem" was better done than any of the solos, and her -ap preciation of the music seemed to be much better than that of the artists of the Bateman troupe. In, the "Inflamma tus," Mme. Parepa appeared to the best advantage, and as she was admirably sus tained by the splendid chorus, it was heartily encored. The unaccompanied quartett, "Quando Corpus," was begun well, but Brignoll made an early blunder by taking a note in the phrase, "Paradisi_ gloria" a full tone too high. Then in the exquisitely modulated cadenza toward the close, Ferranti got wholly wrong, the other' artists went astray or were struck mute, and came to a premature close, to the confusion of the singers and the amusement as . . Well as annoyance of the auditor& It Was a fiasco of which-four well-trained niateurs could hardly - have been guilty under any circumstances. ' • The extremely good performance of, the final chorus was a relief,- and, indeed, the: Handel and Haydn Society deserye the highest praise for their singing throughout So large a body of good voices, in perfect training, has not been heard.beforeh delphia. There was a due proportion of sopranos and, contraltos, tenors - and basses: All sang conscientiously'' and .faitlifetlly, none trying to outdo, the others, but all combining for the general good effect. They . sang with perfect precision and constant re gard to light and shade. But for the chorus, indeed; last night's performance .of _ the &abut Mater would have to be set_down ars inferior to several'that, have been given in Philadelphia; The' Handel and Haydn Society can.eafely venture to repeat it dur ing the' seaman, without foreign artista foi the solo parts. • - Marshall's Portrait of President Lincoln Altogether the moat faithful and striking likeness of our late beloved President -is that of Mr. William E. Marshall, who is an engraver as well as a painter of the very highest talent. He has engraved it in line on steel, and : it has been published by; Messrs. Ticknor ft Fields. The agency_ for Philadelphia has been secured by Mr. W. H. Batt, 628 and 630 Chestnut street, who is now prepared to furnish the print to sub scribers. The likeness is one that history will adopt. It is faithful to the 'features of the living man, and, while not flattering, it is full of the expressive characteristics of the homely but strongly marked face. The engraving is probably the best of its kind ever done in America, surpassing even Mr. Marshall's well-known line engraving of tbe Stuart portrait of Washington in the Boston Athensenm. Every lover of his country and of the great cause in which Mr. Lincoln died, will endeavor to secure a copy of this noble work of art. JOhiss B. layer's at Co..
