Con gress must revise its stoek of standard quotations,and members must no longer be permitted to vex the patient public with those trite old aphorisms which are rung into every day’s proceedings in some shape or other. No sooner has the session commenced than we find respec table members at their old tricks. Scarcely was the unfortunate Raymond comfortably seated yesterday on his stool of repentance, before up jumps Mr. Morrill, with that thread bare favorite of the House: WhO© jet tb© lamp holds out to burn, ; The vilest sinner may return;” and the worst of it is that the report adds the melancholy fact that it was re ceived “with much laughter.” There might be some excuse if this had been a caucus of a new Congress. There might be—there is such a possibility—there might be a verdant member or t wo, from some remote and thinly settled district, to whom the old couplet might be new, and he might laugh; but these seasoned wags, who have been round and round the limited circle of Congressional poetry how can they find it in their hearts to do this thing, and then to laugh at it ? Imagine an afflicted parent weepin o ’ over a “Dearest Johnny, thon hast left ns!" Conceive the unutterable sensitiveness of the feminine mind that could find vent for its ieelings in ' '‘We had a little Betsy Jflne. once!’' These manifestations are possible, but they certainly indicate a low condition of the intellectual and moral constitu tion. We expect better ; things from our national legislators, and there is little hope for the Success of the Con stitutional Amendments, until we have 8 Congressional Amendment in the ways and means of expressing the-poeti cal sentiments of the * members. Con gress has a library and a librarian. Let a bill be introduced “for the better regu lation of Congressional quotations.” Bs hill provide an “Index Expur prohibiting the use of “The _JuS- er return” style of poe- be compelled to Tiofj^ 6 * loll of fres h quotations, T^^pqq®“e nt of each session, prObable conrse; of leg lation, and let members be strictly eon* fined to these standard selections. A section of the act might be judiciously introduced,; limiting the use of scriptural quotations,' which have run to an excess which is very offensive to the good taste of respectable people. At any rate, if the present Congress hopes to retain its popularity until it merges into the next one, something'must be done with » “ . •• «00 i "long as the lamp holds oat to burn,” for the country wont stand it. Mr. Henry J, .Raymond wielding the pen in the editorial rooms of the New York Times ; Mr. Baymond discussing the “situation” with the leaders of the Wigwam Convention; Mr. Baymond reading the address to be adopted by the said Convention; Mr. Baymond standing before the Bepnblican caucus at Washr ington to be talked to like a school-boy, presents a series of queer, odd, eccentric positions, personal and political. Mr. Baymond is in appearance quite an at tractive individual. He is rather under sized and somewhat of the Douglas build in: the way of shoulder, chest and flank. His eyes, are clear, his countenance, generally, impressive. He rejolces in a thick head of dark hair, almost as smooth as that of Hon. Thaddeuß Stevens. His manners are extremely agreeable and courteous, and with all his mental facul ties apparently under harmonious con trol, one wonders how he can possibly make the huge blunders he sometimes falls into. In fact one can say of him, strangely enough, like Martin Van Buren: . “Be wired-.ln and wired out, Leaving the nation still in doubt 'Whether the snake that made the track Was going South or coming back;” The latest occasion on which Mr. Baymond’s delinquencies were made the subject of public comment was last evening, at the caucus of Bepublioan members of the House. He was taken to task for his defection in Au gust, when he was one of the engineers of the Wigwam Convention in this city, and took the opportunity to exclaim mea culpa! He had always been Union. He had only entered tbe Philadelphia Convention to help the Bepublican party. He stood by his own construc tion of the Philadelphia Address,but not by the construction other people placed on it, and yet he approved of the pro* ceedings of last night’s caucus! What a funny sort of a fabric his intellect mnst be, if he can reconcile the views expressed in the Orr and Couch Address with the action taken last even ing to destroy the fangs of a recreant President! Griffith Gaunt was a virtu ous and consistent sort of personage compared to Mr. Baymond, politically. Gaunt had two wives, to whom he paid his devotions alternately, and no doubt thoughtoften.inthephraseof the “Beg gar’s Opera,” “How happy could I bo wlthelthor. Wore t'other dear cliarmer away.” Mr. Baymond is equally indiscrimi nate in his devotions to' Bepublicanism and Johnsonism, and seems to have a facility for sinning and repenting as india-rubber-like as that of Gaunt, while there do not seem to be any “prurient prudes” to condemn him utterly and without reprieve. It will be interesting to watch out and observe Mr. Bay mond’s next freak, when it “swims into our ken.” W. H. DUTTON. OnSemore the acceptance of League Island, as a depot for iron-clad vessels, has been recommended by the President and Secretary of, the Navy. For five successiveyears this has been urged upon Congress as a matter of necessity, in or der that the splendid fleet of vessels, which has given us the supremacy on the sea, may*he saved from destruction. Through the well-directed energy and zeal of our immediate representatives, a bill authorizing, the acceptance of the liberal offer of the city of Philadelphia passed the House at the last session. But it failed in the Senate, because Pennsylvania is unrepresented in that body. The people of Pennsylvania hope for nothing from Mr. Cowan or Mr. Buekalew. They are both mere factious partisans, who think only of control ling the Presidential patronage, in the State. To the liberal and pa triotic Senators ij>f other States, therefore, must the people of Pennsyl vania look, during the present session of Congress. Mr. Cattell and Mr. Fre linghuysen, of New Jersey, are enlight ened gentlemen, who have a large con stituency on the Delaware. Will not they exert themselves in behalf of the League Island project? The ne cessity for a fresh-water depot for iron-dads has long been admitted, and after careful, patient and even wearisome comparison of sites, League Bland has been acknowledged to be the best. There is no necessity, no room and.no time for further argument on the subject. The iron-clad fleet has been moored, under orders of the Depart ment, at League Island for over a year, and its safety and .fitness have been established by actual trial. Now let the Senate pass the bill for the necessary improvements without further delay. x The nomination of Frederick Graeff, Esq., by the Republican caucus of Select and Common Councils, as Chief Engi neer: of the Water Department, is equiv alent to his election, and reflects great credit upon those who have selected him for this position. Eorty-five years ago the Fairmount Water Works were com pleted, under the direction of Frederick Graeff, Sr., Esq., and until the death of that distinguished engineer; the ! Water Department continued under his able management Wie charge of it was then devolved upon his son, who continued to administer its rapidly increasing duties with unimpeachable ability and integrity,until the Democrats,under Mr. THE DAILY EVENING B PLLETIN.---raiI&HELEB:IA, THURSDAY ,DECEMBEIiB. 1866. , BATMOm LEAGUE IdLIXD. a BBienr bigjt. Vaux, dismissed this valuable and faith-, ful' public servant and convested the Water Department into a political ma chine under the management of Mr. Cassin. With the restoration of the Bepnbli een government of the city, this order of things was done away;but, although Mr.. Birkinbine has sought to discharge the duties of the Department to the best of his ability, there has been a wide-spread feeling that the folly and impropriety of removing Mr.Graeff from the post which he is so peculiarly fitted to fill, ought to be corrected by placing him again in the command of the Department. Councils give us the assurance of a bet* ter and purer order of things for the fu ture of Philadelphia, when they show themselves' willing to, rise above mere political and party considerations, and select for posts of high responsibility, men of known integrity and ability. It has been hinted that Mr. Graeff may not accept this unsolicited appointment; but we trust that; he will not allow per sonal Considerations tothwart the wishes of: the public, expressed through Coun cils in a manner as creditable to the nominators as it is to the nominee. “toots.” The Cable telegraph, under date of yes terday, says: “The message of President Johnson has had no effect in London either to lower or to raise the prices of American securities, nor has it had any appreciable influence upon the general money market.” ' Poor Andrew! he has fallen as flat as dish-water at home, and his most autho ritative annual official utterance fails to effect, in the slightest degree, that most sensitive of barometers, the money mar ket, in the most sensitive of financial ceiitres, London. Bepudiated at home, and not recognized abroad as having the slightest influence or of being of the least importance! As Mr. Toots would re mark, anything that Andrew Johnson could say or do, in his present desolate and forsaken condition, would be “of no consequence.” Such an instance of large pretence and of feeble performance as illustrated by “My Policy,” i 3 without a precedent in the annals of Fizzles. Nothing but the spiteful vindictiveness of the great Presidential Failure saves him from a condition of contempt and obscurity that would admit of no resur-, rection except “to point a moral and adorn a tale,” and to admonish future statesmen to beware of the snag upon which Andrew Johpson went to pieces.” French Opera, —There is a prospect < f fine audiences at the Academy of Music, to morrow.eyeniug and Saturday afternoon, when the French opera company of MM Jnignet and Drivet are to appear.
