EVENING BULLETIN. MONDAY, DECEMBER 17. 1866, TO advertisers. In order to secure the insertion of ad vertisements in our regular edition, it is absolutely necessary that they be sent to the office before 12 o’clock, noon. The paper must be put to press at a particular moment, so that supplies to agents in the country may be sent off by the earliest trains in the afternoon, and with our present large edition, we cannot delay for advertisements or anythingelse. Our friends will therefore please send their advertisements at as early an hour in the day as possible. Those sent after 12 o’clock are likely to be omitted. THE NEW IRONSIDES. The destruction by fire of the iron plated war steamer, New Ironsides, is » national loss very much to bedeplored She was the finest vessel of her class afloat, for whatever may be said of other iron-plated steamers, not of the Monitor hind , none of them have been tested as the New Ironsides has been. She was an excellentsea-going vessel; her armor was never penetrated, though the bat teries of Charleston harbor were re peatedly opened upon her, and her sides bore hundreds of marks where shot and shell of every kind had struck her. Her - battery was of ex traordinary strength, and she gave more uneasiness to the Charles ton defenders than all the rest of the fleet put together, and it was only her draught of water, which was too great for the obstructed harbor, that prevented her from reducing the forts and securing the fall of the city. The New Ironsides was a splendid illustration of Philadel phia mechanical skill, and her loss is felt peculiarly in this city. But she made a history during her brief career, and her name will be carried down with scarcely less honor than that which at taches to the Old Ironsides of our infant navy. THE SCKKATT CASE. The leading Copperhead organ in this I city is out, this morning, with an articl e I which bears the ear-marks of its writer so distinctly that it would not require a very profound student of the “Tales of a Grandfather” to discover them. The writer assumes, first, that the Surratt 3 were all innocent of any complicity in the murder of President Lincoln; second that all the conspirators who were exe. cuted for their share in the crime were murdered, because they were tried and convicted by a court that had no legal existence; third that the Government knew that John H. Surratt was innocent and that it did not desire to arrest him until now,when it suits some selfish pur pose to do so; fourth that this purpose is an attempt to “muffle” and “handcuff him” into saving his own life by swear ing away the life of somebody else, and last that Mr. Seward is desirous of mak ing some people believe that the wounds he bears were not inflicted by a vulgar assailant. The first of these propositions has been passed upon satisfactorily by authorities that were quite as competent as the late District Attorney of the county of Phila delphia, to decide the question of the legality and jurisdiction of General Hunter’s military court. The second proposition falls to the ground along with the first. The third involves an attack on the administration of Andrew Johnson, which no decent Republicans would make, much as they may despise the President and his principal adviser in the State Department. The fourth in the list of assumptions is the most in famous of all. The attempt to fasten upon the administration a design to persuad 6 or force Surratt into making a Titus Oates of himself, and induce him to save his life by implicating innocent people, would be atrocious to the last degree, were it not that the assertion may have the excuse of being a lawyer’s triok to throw discredit, in advance, upon a witness whose evidence he fears will be damaging to his client. It is believed by many that Jefferson Davis was privy to the assassination scheme, and that Surratt is in possession of sufficient. knowledge of the entire business to convict the “Stem States man” of a less questionable crime, in a legal point of view, than treason. It would be a fine stroke of policy to des troy the credit of this important witness before his evidence is taken in a court of justice. But the writer of the article under consideration gets out another * ‘an chor to windward,” in astyle of argument that would do credit to a Quarter Ses sions quibbler. He says: “Messrs. Stanton and Holt, and perhaps we may add Mr. Seward, are reputed to be .good lawyers. They have certainly read Blackßtone, and they have seen all along and see now that after Booth was shot before trial, and Harold, the only other principal in the murder, convicted by an illegal tri bunal, John H. Surratt, if triecs in a Court of Daw, cannot be convicted. He web no prin cipal. He was on his way to Canada, a thou sand miles from the scene of blood. He ' was at most wbat lawyers know as an ac cessory before the fact, who cannot be con victed unless his principal has been—that is, if the rule of the common law prevails in the District of Columbia. We repeat, there were at the most but two principals, Booth and Harold. Boston Corbett shot Booth in the barn, and there was no conviotion in his case.” “Harold was a principal in a certain sense, but he was convicted. The acts of the military commission must in law be pronounced of no effect, absolutely null.” The inside meaning of all this is per fectly plain. If Surratt can be satisfied that the Government cannot' hold him for his share in the assassination, the attempt to make “‘State’s evidence” of him .foils, because he has no motive to influence him to tell what he knows of the transaction. - if -he -keeps his: lipß sealed and is discharged, as he must of 'necessity be if there is no charge upon whi<sh to hold him, he is sure of a wel- fteDAILY EVENING ' MONPAYj PECEMBEK 17,1866.—T81PLE SHEET come to his old home, and he will go | hack among congenial, spirits with. the I additional claim upon them that he had I not betrayed the momentous secrets of his old friends and employers, ' But what does the honest and patriotic reader think of having Blacks tone shoved in between outraged justice and one of the principal assassins of their late beloved Lincoln ? There can be no punishment of accessories until the prin- , cipals are convicted and punished—we hold that there were but two principals; Booth and Harold —Booth was shot in a barn by Sergeant Corbett and therefore he was not convicted —Harold was tried by an illegal court and by it was mur | dered, and so he was not convicted, Ergo Surratt cannot be convicted although the evidence of his complicity is clear as the noonday sun! Why not go a step further and declare that as Booth and Harold had been “illegally I murdered,” there had never been an assassination at all, and that Mr. Lincoln iB still living ? This kind of logic may suit the I leaders of the party that looked upon Mr. Lincoln as an usurper, and that eu logized Jefferson Davis as a “stern statesman;” Stonewall Jackson as a “Christian gentleman,” and the traitor Lee as a Chevalier Bayard. It may suit such men as these, but it will not suit the great loyal masses who call treason treason, and murder murder; and who yrill insist that when the victim of the I assassin is their beloved President, no legal quibbling shall be permitted to stand between justice and the criminal! let the latter be who or what he may. The article in question concludes as follows: - “It is quite within the range of possibility that through John H. Surratt’s agency ,Mr. Seward may attain the darling object of his later thoughts of making some people be lieve that the wounds he bears were not in flicted by a vulgar assailant.” There are very many persons who are no admirers of “Mr. Seward’s Diplo macy,” as displayed of late; but there are very few who could be found willing to charge the Secretary of S tate with a desire to suborn a witness, to testify falsely against innocent men in order to gratify “the darling object of Mr. Sew ard’s later thoughts of making some people believe that the wounds he bears were not inflicted by a vulgar assailant.’’ That is precisely what the paragraph quoted above means; no more and no less. THE ACADEMY OF NATURAE SCI- ENCES. Philadelphians should take more than | ordinary pride and pleasure in main- I tainiDg their Academy of Natural Sci- I ences, because it is one peculiar to their I city; there being nothing equal to it, of its kind, elsewhere in America, while in certain departments it is superior to any of the great museums of Europe. The collections have long since outgrown the accommodations that can be afforded to them in the present building, at the corner of Broad and Sansom streets, and many rare and invaluable specimens of natural history must be lost, unless a new building of greater capacity can be procured. An opportunity is offered, as the readers of this paper have already been informed, of procuring a new site and erecting an extensive building, in every way adapted to the wants of the Academy; but earnest effort bn the part of the managers and liberal aid on the part of the citizens are needed to make this offer available, a 3 all past subscriptions are conditioned on raising thesumof one hundred thousand dollars. Between this time and the Ist of Janu ary, subscriptions to the amount of fif teen thousand dollars must be given, in [ order to make good the previous ones and to secure the purchase of the new site [ and guarantee the erection of the new building. This is a small sum to raise in a population of about eight hundred thousand persons, and it will be morti fying and discreditable if the project should fall through. The Academy has had a free museum of natural history for nearly fifty years. Its collections are estimated to be worth,commercially, I half a million of dollars; blit their scien- I tifie value is beyond ail estimate. To I secure this great museum, and make it I more valuable and more creditable to I, the city, no efforts should be spared. I. Many citizehs have been very liberal and I some of them, when their subscriptions I have been called in, have added ten, or : fifteen,or twenty per cent, to the amount I originally put down. Butßtill the fund I falls short, and the time for completing I it is fast slipping by. Those willing to I aid in preserving the Academy, and I placing it in a building which shall be I monumental and ornamental, as well as I secure and commodious, should. send in I their subscriptions to the Building Com- I mittee, the Chairman of which is Dr- I W. S. W. Ruschenberger,l932 Chest- I nut street. Who, that is able to give, I will refuse a Christmas gift to theAca | demy of Natural Sciences? PEXNSTtVASU S ADOPTED CHI LI) There are now in various schools of Pennsylvania, receiving care arid educa tion at the expense of the Common wealth, between three and fourthousand little boys and girls, orphans of Pennsylvania soldiers and sailors who perished in the war for the Union. Early in that war, when men were' volunteering, and were leaving their weeping wives, Governor Curtin pro mised them that the State would pro vide for the children of those who might; not return. That pledge has been ful filled mainly through his efforts. He has recommended all the legislation on the subject that has been adopted. He was the author of the scheme for educating and providin g for the orphans at schools already established,.instead of creating new institutions, where they would ap- pear like charity children, instead of being the offspring of heroes. Besides,. hew institutions, which would have cost a great deal of money, would have been a useless expense to the State in a few years, for by that time, the sbidiers’ orphans will all have grown up and been educated. The Governor very wisely preferred to place them in good schools already established, . and the children are now distributed- among; twenty odd different institutions,eleyen of which are in Philadelphia, No State I has done better for the children of her dead heroes than Pennsylvania, and all that has been done has been under the urgent advice of Governor Curtin. He has done many things, during his six years in officeas Governor,to entitle him to the gratitude and affection ofthepeo ple of Pennsylvania. But his care for the I soldiers,their wives and their offspring, will especially secure for him the most grateful remembrance. PATENT TRANSLATION. Translating is called traducing in French and some other modem langu ages. One of the most notable speci mens of traduced Italian that we have seen is the English version of PhMre, Phcedra, or Fedra, as it is indiscrimi nately called, which is given in the libretto of Eaeine’s tragedy that is fur nished to the admiring hearers of Madame Bistori. The translator, or traducer, has evidently had his Eng lish education neglected, and we cannot help having doubts whether his Italian has fared any better. The “traduction,” in fact,reads as if it had been made from the original French, by a person only moderately acquainted with English- It is, however, most entertaining read ing, and a hearer of Bistori, wrought up to the-highest pitch while she is recit ing and acting so grandly, may have most refreshing relaxation by reading the English version in the entr’actes. He may thus have an agreeable alterna tion of tragedy and comedy.- Some examples of this remarkable specimen of translating Italian into English are worth giving, though it can only be fairly'judged a 3 a whole. If Mme. Bistori and her company were to play Ptedrc in the English of this trans lation, they would put the gravest au dience into convulsions of laughter. Imagine “Enon” speaking of “Fedra’s” misery to “ippolito” and telling him, “The queen touches her fatal end,” which is the English translation of the line “Toccagiii la Regina all’ultim’ora.” Again “Enon,” striving to encourage “Fedra,” says to her, in the Italian ver sion, “Ogni momenta ncclde. Ristaura le tne forze; la fiammella Bella giovane tua vita raccendi.” This is put into English by the trans ator as follows: ’“But delay not, each moment kills you. Repair promptly your weakened strength. Whilst that of your days ready to consume themselves, The dame lasts yet and can relight Itself^ Then “Fedra” replies in the simple but expressive words: “Oh troppo, Enon, troppo dnroj” which the translator converts into “I have too much prolonged their culpa ble duration!” Again, “Fedra” exclaims “Basta!’’ and this is diluted into “I have told thee sufficient!” Further on in the play,she accosts “Ippolito” as “Figliode Teseo,” which most persons would translate as “Son of Theseus.” But this translator makes it “Worthy son of the hero that has given thee to the day!” In another place “Fedra” exclaims to “Enon,” “M’aborre,” and the translation makes it, “He detests ma!” which is rather singular, as the maternal relative of “Fedra” does not appear in the play, and there does not appear to be any rea son for “Ippolito’s” disliking that per son. ; In the fourth act there is a scene in which the acting and the voice of Ris tori are such as to move every heart,and these lines occur: “Ms nutrite di fele, ebbrs di planto, Esposta agli important occhi del vulgo, Neppuie alpianto abandonarmi osava. Fin quests amara volutUV delitto, Era per Fedra, a mascherar costretta Sotto fronte serena, 11 cruccio ascosa, A divorar, pronto a scoppiare, il pianto!” Fancy the effectbf this passage if Ris tori were to recite it in the English text of the authorized translation, which is as follows: “Nourished with gall, Boaked in tears, Still in my evil too closely observed, I dare not in my tears bathe myself at lei sure; I taste tremblingly this mournful pleasure. And under a severe countenance disguise my tears.” Or imagine the emotion of the audience if she should recite the simple words, “I numi istesso dell ’Olimpo,” (Even the gods of Olympus) in the Anglican ver sion, which is: “The goods even, the goods that inhabit Olympus! ’ ’ Here the printer, as well as the translator may have been at fault; but, if it were not for the fun and nonsense of the thing, it would be scandalous to have such stuff put before an intelligent public as an English translation. “Fedra’s” last , expiring words, uttered by the great artist with inconceivable and indescribable feeling, are, speaking of the fatal poison she has taken: y‘. "Sceriderle sentoverso floor; uh fitto Velo at langnidi ral oonfonde e toglie Del di l’aspetto e l’ira tua. La morte Rapiace a me laluce, e al mondo, al cielo, Che il viver mio containind, la rende.” This is put into English by the tradu cer thus: “Already even to my heart the venom reaches " \~:-- In this expiring heart throws an unknown cold; Already I cannot see but through a mist The-heaven and the husband that my pre sence outrages, And death, from my. eyes taking away the clearness, \ Restores to the day which they soiled all its purity.” , ' Those numerous auditors of Ristori, Vho scarcely ever take their eyes off the book, must have been edified as they traced her- dying , agonies through such a passage as this; Then, too, they must have been also entertained with the stage direction of “He exits,” and ‘‘She' exits,” which occurs repeatedly throughout the translation. Only a few examples of this traduced Italian have been selected. But there are whole scenes in quite as bad English; and showing quite as small an amount of literal adherence to the Italian. The libretto of Ph£dre,m English and Italian, is quite worthy of a place in any library of nonsense, if collectors of such can be found. The Artists’ Fond Society. The collection of pictures at the new rooms of the Artists’ Fund Society, 1331 Chestnut street, is one of the best, by Phila delphia artists, ever offered to the public, A sale of. the larger portion ot them will take place to-morrow evening, the proceeds being for the maintenance of the .gallery. The visitor will, of course, be attracted by the several noble marine views by Hamil ton, which are in his very best style, He should not fail also to examine this great artist’s Niagara sketches, hanging in the sonth gallery. The mighty cataract is re presented in a score or more of hold, dash ing views, including some wonderful bits of the rapids and the whirlpool. Mr. T. Moran hasseveral masterly works, and No. 14, the “Arrival of Balia Rookh at I the Imperial Palace,” is a wonderful ro mance on canvas, which is worthy of Tur ner’s best efforts. Mr. E. Moran has several fine marine views, and there are a couple of pictures by Mr. P, Moran, another member of this talented family, that will be admired. Mr. George C. Eambdia is represented by several lovely pictures. The small one, No. 20, called “ The New Knife,” is excellent in composition’ and color, and expressing a I certain humor that he does not often at tempt. Mr. W. T. Richards, in addition to several excellent woodland views, has two of scenes on Mt. Desert Island, which reveal new talent in him. There are several beau tiful landscapes by F. Deß. Richards, who has made great progress lately, and is taking high rank among that ciass of painters. Messrs. D. R. Knight, E. B. Wood, Milne | Ramsey, W. E. Winner, L. WU'iams, E. Julliard, and other talented artists, have I also excellent pictures, and the collection, as a whole, is well worthy a visit; while the sale of to-morrow evening will afford an op portunity of procuring works that will be creditable wherever seen. Death of Professor Vethake. —We regret to announce the death, at the ripe age of seventy-five, of Professor Henry Vethake, who for so long a period has been identified with institutions of learning in this eity. He died at his residence yesterday, after a brief illness, and his friends have been shocked at the intelligence, as, until a very recent period he appeared in his usual health and spirits. Professor Vethake was a native of Continental Europe, and had been highly educated previously to his becoming a citizen of the United States. His thorough scholarship made him prominent in the literary and educational world many j ears ago, and he was elected and acted as Professor of Mathematics at Princeton and at Dickinson College nearly a generation since. Subsequently he was chosen as Professor of Mathematics at the University of Pennsylvania. He resigned this position, however, and traveled in Eu rope. On his return he was elected Provost of the University, which place he held | until he resigned it for the post of Professor in the Polytechnic College—a position he held until the time of his death. Professor Vethake was one of the ablest mathematicians in thecountry, and his sci entific culture was broad and general. In 1838 he published an able work on “The Principles of Political Economy.” In his moments of relaxation he was a most genial companion, and for more than twenty-five years he was almoat a daily attendant at the Athenwum, where his fame as a first-class chess-player still survives. He used to combat champions like Mr. I Charles Vezin, and he also did not I disdain to try issues with Maelzel’s auto- I mat on chessplayer. Prof. Vethake was ex tremely agreeable in congenial society. He I had a large fund of anecdote, and he was I full of quaint, dry |humor. As Provost of I the University he managed the institution I ably, and he will be affectionately remem- I bered by all the graduates. Death of an Old Mkbo hast.— The death of Lyon J.Levy.Esq .agentleman who was well known to the people of Philadel phia, took place on Friday last. ' Mr. Levy, who was an Englishman by birth, oame to the United States in the year 1829, and settling in Philadelphia, entered into bnsi. ness as a retail dry goods merchant, on Second street, near Chestnut. His enter prise, integrity and business tact gained him both patronage and confidence, and his business increased very rapidly. He sub sequently removed to Chestnut Btreet, be low Fifth, where his establishment was the constant centre of attraction to fashionable dry goods shoppers. From this location he afterwards removed to a splendid Btore in Chestnut street, above Eighth. In 1857 Mr. Levy had an attack of paralysis, and this fact, in connection with the commercial crisis of that period, caused him to retire from business. He has been in failing health ever since, and his death took place at the time we have stated. Mr. Levy was greatly respected and esteemed by all who knew him. He was in the sixty- eighth year of his age. The Empress Carlotta. A despatch, sent to us by the United-States and European Associated Press, was printed on Saturday afternoon, announcing the death of the Empress Carlotta, of Mexico, at Miramar. The report is not confirmed by the cable despatches of the old Associated Press, and it is declared to be false. The unhappy lady was ill at the last accounts, and her death is not an improbable circum stance. But it would be a wicked thingto invent such a story, and, if it turn out to be a story, we regret that currency should have' been given to it in these columns. , —HAINKS BROS.’ PlANOS—Moderate In |^price,ana a old with A™ yeygiggggtee. : noIO-WPI ... , BBiyjjNTH and CHESTNUT, ’ Stationery— lettebs, cap ..and note papers, envelopes, blank-BOOKS, and every requisite tn the Stationery line,' telling at the lowest figures at •• J.
