EVENING BULLETIN.
MONDAY, DECEMBER 10. 1866.
SECRETARY STANTON.
If -anything were wanting to prove
Edwin M. Stanton one of the most re
markable men of the present day, his
present position at the head of the War
Department would settle the question.
After nearly five years of public service,
the labor of whieh has .been of appalling'
magnitude, the fact that Mr. Stanton is
still Secretary of War, and yet the de
voted advocate of the principles of Mr.
administration, shows that he
is a man of no common force of charac
ter. Every other Cabinet officer has
-either surrendered his principles at the
demand of the President and ca3t his lot
with his fatal policy, or has laid down
hiis portfolio and saved his honor by re
tirement into private life. Mr. Stanton
-alone-has proved himself able to hold
hoth bis portfolio and his principles,
without doing dishonor to either. Th e
burden borne by this officer of the Go
vemment during his long term of service
would -have crushed a dozen common
men. Even during the past year, the
mere task of disarmament has involved
a most prodigious labor. The details of
-placing the military establishment of
the country on a peace footing are in
dicated in the official report of the Secre
tary, and constitute an enormous aggre
gate-of business, apart from the regular
annual duties of the department. Since
the -close of the war, more than a million
-soldiers have been paid off and mustered
out;, 207,000 horses and mules have been
sold-, 4,400 hospitals, barracks and other
■buildings' have been disposed of; the
fleet of transports, numbering in all 852
vessels, has been reduced to 53 vessels of
.all kinds; 2,630 miles of military rail
roads, with 433 engines and 6,605 cars,
have been transferred to loyal companies
, or boards of public works; 15,380 miles
miles of telegraph were constructed
-during the war, and all.this vast ma ;
terial has been sold. Ordnance depots
at numerousj points have been broken
up, and the huge accumulations
of medical and hospital stores hayp been
reduced to a scale suited to the wants of
the regular army. These are but a few
•f the leading items of the prodigious
work that has devolved upon the War
Department, and with such a burden
piessing upon him, it has perhaps been
®omparatively easy for Mr. Stanton to
keep political schemes and demagogues
at arm’s length, and to send them to the
right-about on the excellent plea of an
excess of business occupation.
Mr. Stanton has evidently maintained
We position infect, amidst the intrigues
■if, and corruption of the Johnson policy*
Rby dint of his own positive ohar.
. He accepted the cardinal princi
-6f the Republican party heartily
jonestly,' and the. Government has
ared to tamper with, or bribe or
s the brusque, bold, self-reliant
itary, who knows how to do his
duty so well and . who ftßks no
favors and feels no fear. Mr. Stanton
seems destined to come oat in the his
tory of the war next in rank to the illus
trious Lincoln. Seward, Relies, Mc-
Culloch, Blair, and many another who
started well in the race have either sunk
out of sight, as the real men of the war
have risen to their true positions,or have
so tarnished and dishonored the fair re
cords which they made in the earlier pe
riod of the war, that “it would be better
for them if they had never been born.”
But Mr. Stanton has proved himself
everything that a war minister should
be. Stern in his exactions of duty, un
blemished in all his personal relations,
equal to every weight of responsibility,
prompt and sagacious in every emer
gency, inflexible in his adherence to
principle, careless of cotemporary fame,
but so living and working that the fu
ture historian will delight to study his
rare character andto painVhls true por
trait upon his imperishable pages.
HINDKANCJUS T« TRAVEL.
When the Delaware terminus of the
Pennsylvania Bailroad was completed,
and Market, Third and Dock streets
were relieved of the long lines of freight
cars and mule teams that used to be
provocative of so much ill-temper, in
convenience and profanity and cruelty to
animals, citizens thought that a reasona
bly fair use of the streets would be ac»
corded them/* In this fond hope they
have been doomed to disappointment.
Freight trains still run, or rather creep,
along the western part of Market street,
and a large portion of Broad street is
given over to this traffic, greatly to the
damage of the improvement of the
noblest thoroughfare in the city. Along
Willow street trains of cars containing
coal, ironic., creep along at a snail's
pace all day, interfering greatly with
travel upon the streets running north
and south, and above Callowhill street,
and causing great loss of time to persons
who are working their way up
town or down, either upon foot or by
city railway car.
It may be urged that this traffic is
important to the prosperity of the city.
This may be very true; but it is not con
ducive to the convenience of citizens
that the trade should be prosecuted by
means of a dozen cars coupled together,
and drawn by a long string of mules, the
whole forming a slowly portable obstruc
tion of a square or more in length, and
liable to frequent “stalls.” If we must
have freight trains running through the
heart Of the city, they should be so re
stricted in respect to their length that
the present nuisance would be lessened.
The driver of an ordinary vehicle,
who ’takes care that the nose of his
horse shall touch the tail-board of the
cart or wagon ahead of him, is a first
class hinderer of travel, and he should
be punished alike for obstructing the
streets, for his ill manners and for his
defiance of the laws of the city, which
fix a penalty upon all drivers of vehicles
who fail to keep the prescribed distance
in the rear of any vehicle that may be
ahead of him. A procession of leisurely
moving carts or drays, that defy all
attempts to break through their lines,
while the drivers loiter along upon the
sidewalks, smoking their pipes, is not
an object that is calculated, to increase
the amiability of the crowd of pedes
trians who are impatiently waiting at a
street corner for the drays and horses,
and their attending boors, to pass along.
There are other hindrances to travel,
such as huge piles of building materials,
that are placed in the streets instead of
upon the premises where they belong;
boxes, barrels, cfcc., that monopolize the
sidewalks in many parts of the city, and
last, though not least of the annoyances
whichmay.be enumerated,are the squads
of questionable characters who haunt
the street corners along Chestnut street,
beset the doors of drinking saloons, stare
ladies out of countenance, defile their
dresses by constantand copious ejections
of tobacco juice, and who disgust all de
cent people by their profanity and
coarseness. The police made an effort
some time since to break up this last de
scribed nuisance. Have they wearied of
the attempt and given it up for a hope
less task ? «
MODERN ROMANCE.
A writer in a cotemporary journal
complains bitterly that the style of ro
mance brought into voguf by authors
likdVWilkie Collins, “Ouida,” Mrs.
Wood, and Miss Braddon make women
criminals of the deepest dye,and present
men in the aspect of innocent victims.
Golden-haired or red-haired beauties
become bigamists, murder one of their
husbands and make the other husband
miserable for life. They push their male
victims down wells, they burn people
in their beds—or try to—and; in fact aet
like regular Lucretia Borgias and Mad
ame de Brinvillierses. There may be
some truth in the criticism, but in plea
sant contract therewith we present a
sketch of quite a different style of ro
mance, shortly to be published, in the
hope that its outlines will soothe the per
turbed spirits who are troubled about
“Lady Audley’s Secret,” “East Lynne”
and “Armadale.”-Says the Taunton
(Mass.) Oazette ;
“Solon Robinson, the agricultural editor,
has written a novel. The hero is probably
a martyr in the early days of sub-Bolling,
while his haughty rival produces great orops
by the factitious guano. The elder parient
in difficulties looks down upon the nnmble
but sure snb-soiler, and accepts a mortgage
of hiß richer rival to rebuild hia barn, which
he wisheß .to redeem with his daughter’s
hand. Her affections are fixed. The old
man’s horse is cored by the humble lover.
The rival ruinß himself by a rash specula
tion in rutabagas, and the young man’s po
tatoes are preserved from rot lay his skill
while the fields arbnhd are devastated. The
old man’s heart is touched. The happy cou
ple are married on Thanksgiving day, and
the young man is elected President of an
Agricultural Society. His rival beoomes a
politician,” r

THE FIVE ""
; There is a good deal of variety in the
expressions of opinion concerning the
articles that have appeared in the Bul- '
LETiN on the injurious effect the stock
holders’ department of the Academy of
Mußic has upon the institution., A great
many are so flattering and complimen
tary that modesty forbids their publica
tion; Some axe, “on the contrary, quite
the reverse;” and it is very plain that the
articles have excited the indignation of
several persons who, upon a trifling
investment Of thirty or forty dollars a
share, or a still smaller sum for. a season
ticket, have secured all the privileges,
and present themselves before an ad
miring public as patrons of the opera.
The original subscribers, without whose
money the opera house eould not have
been built, fairly deserve their privi
leges. They understand that .they are
not complained of, and no indignant or
threatening communications or remarks
have come from them.
i But one anonymous person, who signs
himself “An Old Stockholder,” but
writes and spells like a very young one,
writes to us to v “take warning,” and
says: “if yu are anxious to increas the
circulation of yur pape, yu had better
drop the stockholder matter.” This pa
tron of art and man of letters may be
very dangerous; but another writer,who
gives his name, and who'is really an
original holder of both common and pre
ferred stock in the Academy, writes ap.
provingly, and offers a suggestion,which
we take pleasure in making public. He
says:. .
“It is plain that the stockholders, by
absorbing the whole class who delight in
opera, areruining the Academy and in
juring the reputation of ouroity. Compare
the last engagement here with the one
immediately following it at Boston. The
only remedy I can think of is to obtain an
alteration of charter from the legislature,
which would require the possession of 10
share to entitle to admission. lam sure
there would be found liberal-minded
stockholders enough to make a majority
at any meeting called,and the increased
demand for shares it would create, by
those who wish to double their stock,
would tempt and act as a recompense to
those who would sell out. I have talked
with many stockholders about this, and
met with general concurrence,and would
be glad to see you keep up the public at
tention either to this or any other rem
edy proposed.”
This is a practical, common-sense
proposition, and there may be others
that will occur to .those who have given
the subject the serious consideration it
is entitled to. The encouragement of
the opera and the prosperity of the Aca.
demy are the only objects we have had
in view, and the subject is not to be
treated with bad temper. Who, for in
stance, can get angry at the following
clever parody, also sent by a correspon
dent, and a stockholder, who is not
anonymous?
The New York Herald , yesterday
published a despatch from Sweetsburg,
Canada, stating that John H. Surratt
was the guest of John Hogan, of St.
Lawrence Hall, after his escape from
the United States, and was supplied
with funds to go to Europe by leading
Southerners then in Canada. This is a
serious charge against Mr. Hogan, and
its truth or falsity should be strictly in
quired into. It is, perhaps, doubtful
whether"under the Extradition treaty
the man who harbors an assassin after
he has escaped to a foreign soil, would
be given up to the custody of the Courts
where the original crime was comujit
ted; but the moral weight of the offbnca

St. Lawrence Hall is one of the lead

support comes from American travelers,
who are usually Northerners. Its pro
prietor, if innocent of the charge of har
boring one of the assassins of the Presi
dent of the United States, and of aiding
him to escape, should lose no time in
proving that fact or he will probably
soon discover the difference in the busi
