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 anything else. Our
friends will therefore please send their
advertisements at as. early an hour in
the day as possible. Those sent after 12
©’dock are likely to be omitted.
the BAKGAEX WITH THE SOUTH.
An impression has got abroad in the
country, and has been industriously
fostered by those who were in sympathy
with the rebellion, that Congress is
under some sort of a pledge to admit
the rebel States to representation upon
their ratification of the Constitutional
Amendment. Where this idea started
it is difficult now to decide, nor is it
of much consequence. It is very satis*
factory to see that the Senate is taking
an early opportunity to put itself right
before the country upon this subject,
and that Senators haye returned to their
seats all the better for their interviews
with the people of the several States
which they represent. It would be the
height of absurdity for Congress to
commit itself to a policy which might
admit South Carolina to its old power
in the Government, without any legal
evidence that the State Government had
any right to adopt the amendment,
and even before it had been ratified by
the constitutional three-fourths of the
States.
Leading Senators, such as Howard,
Sumner, Fessenden, Wade and Wilson,
yesterday declared emphatically that
neither Congress nor the Republican
party holds itself bound to admit any
rebel State upon this condition. Mr.
Fessenden, who is a cool, deliberate
man, often exciting the fears of his
friends by his apparent excess of timidity
and caution, was very clear upon this
point. He declared that:
“His understanding was that he had a
Tight to inquire whether the amendment
was adopted by a loyal legislature whieh he
•was bound to recognize. It might be a
question preliminary with him, after these
States bad adopted the amendment,whether
they had a government which gave them
the right to,adopt it. He would not yield
one iota of the guarantees insisted upon,
and such further guarantees as might be
needed,”
Mr. Wade was equally positive in as
serting that:
“He did not state, or intend to be
understood, that when these States adopted
the constitutional amendment they were
entitled to come in here at all hazards. The
proposition-to whieh he (Mr. Wade) ad
hered was that when the constitutional
amendment was adopted by three-fourths
of the States, and adopted by the seceded
States, their relations to the general govern
ment were snch that if they applied for
admission in a loyal form, all other things
being equal, they ought to be admitted, if
represented by loyal men.”
These utterances may safelybe taken
as defining the present altitude of Con
gress upon this important question, and
there can be no donbt that any change
of this attitude will be in the direction
of still more stringent interpretations of
the powers of Congress and the rights of
the loyaLStates. Indications multiply
that the rebellious spirit now being
manifested in every one of the rebel
legislatures will require and will re*
ceive a sterner and more radical treatment
than aDy that has yet been resorted to.
The poisonous influence of Mr. John
son’s false policy found the South pre
disposed to be infected with its virus,and
the result has been disastrous to the
present hopes of the South aud most
ominous of a long period of probation yet
in store for those who have failed to
appreciate the leniency of 1 their con
querors, and who choose to be driven
rather than led. The South has no one
to blame but Mr. Johnson and its own
obstinate and unfounded pride, if Con
gress is compelled to go back to the be
ginning and cut up by the roots the
fresh growth of rebellious sentiments
which is cropping out in every part of
its extended territory.
MKTEOI’OUTAK MUJVICIPAt MORiLS.
In the Supreme Court of New York,
during the present week, one Christo
pher Pullman, a member of the Gotham
ite Common Council, made appli
tion for an injunction. The said
injunction was asked for to restrain the
Metropolitan government from com
pleting a contract with Fernando Wood
for the renting of certain property be
longing to the gentleman last named,
greatly to his own advantage and to the
corresponding damage of the honest tax
payers of the city. The specifications
filed by Mr. Councilman Pullman,in his
application for the injunction, set forth,
substantially, that from 1863 to 1866, Fer
nando bad been fortunate enoughtorent
certain rooms for the use of the city, for
the sum of §8,200 per annum, of which
those hired for the Corporation Counsel
cost §5,1)00. These were never occupied,'
and, with the sanction of the city, other
rooms were leased during the three years
for that purpose, for which an annual
payment of §ll,OOO was made. In other
words $16,000 yearly, or $48,000 for the
term, have been paid by the people for
accommodations, and $15,000 for empty
rooms. Both the buildings are taxed
upon a valuation of but §55,000.
This would seem to be pretty strong;
hut theCommonCouncilmen of the Com
mercial Metropolis have shown that they
were equal to something considerably
stronger, for they afterwards renewed
the lease on terms much more satisfac
to F. W. According to Mr. Pullman,the
new bargain provides for the leasing of
THE DAILY EVENING BPLLETXN.-PffILAPKLPHIA, THURSDAY, fIECEMBFK 20. i 3fi6—TRIPLE SHEET
Mr. Wood’s rooms foraperiodof 10 years,
agreeing to pay for them at the yearly
rate of $18,000! Thisincludes $B,OOO for the
rooms for the Corporation Counsel,which
he has not used for three years, and as
Mr. Pullman says,will never use, as they
are notoriously unfit for the purpose for
whieh they are hired. Thus it seems
from-the statement of competent author
ity, that the city government of New
York coolly hires rooms it does not
want and cannot U3e, in order to give
Mr, Wood the handsome income of
$BO,OOO in the next 10 years, exclusive of i
an additional exorbitant rent of $lOO,OOO \
for rooms in the same building. Judge
Barnard granted the injunction asked
for, and there the matter rests for the
present. . ‘
There are, unfortunately for the cause
of public morals, other localities besides
New York, where scoundrelism in pub
lic office is practiced. Our own Legisla
tive “ring” at Harrisburg is not
composed exclusively of saints, as a
general thing, and we once had here in
our own city a condition of affairs
when common thieves and pimps
held places in the employ
of the city, and when the official associa
tes of men high in place were dog
fighters, cheats and ballot-box stuffers;
but these were exceptions and not
rules; But the worst scoundrelism of
any other locality under the sun be
comes milk and water, petty larceny,
mere child’s play and two-penny pecu
lation, when compared with the whole
sale villainy practiced by the city offi
cials of New York. The cause of- the
evil is evident enough, but the remedy
is not so clear. A huge mass of ignorant
foreigners and brutalized natives, who
are engineered by such men as Fer
nando Wood for their own purposes,
control the city by the force of over
whelming numbers, and honest citizens
lie helplessly at the mercy of the pirati
cal leaders of a mls-called democracy.
There have been but two great munici
pal reforms accomplished in New York
since this rule and ruin party got in the
ascendant. One of these reforms was the
establishment of the Metropolitan
police, which took this important de
partment out of the control of Mozart
and Tammany, and the other was the
establishment of a responsible paid Fire
Department to take the place of the old
pernicious concern. Both of these re
forms came from Albany, and to Al
bany the great city of New York must
look for relief, either in the way of
amending the suffrage laws of the State,
or in putting the government of the city
in thehandsof commissioners appointed
by the State. New York is confessedly
the worst-governed olty in the civilized
world. It is powerless to help itself in
its dilemma; and it 3 only hope for relief
is in Albany.
A PUBLIC SPIRITED riULADEL-
PHUir.
Every reader of the newspapers has
heard of the name and fame of Doctor
Thomas W. Evans, a native Philadel
phian, who after gaining a knowledge
of surgical dentistry at his own home,
went to Paris, where his skill at once
became known, and fame and fortune,
to his heart’s content, became his. But
Doctor Evans, in his adopted home, was
not unmindful of the reputation of hU
native land,or of the interests of human
ity, and when the plan of. the great
French Exposition of 1867 was deter
mined upon, he conceived the idea of
making a complete collection, at his own
expense, of whatever surgical or sanitary
material had been employed with success
bytheU. S. Government, during thelate
war. Application was made to the Im
perial commissioners for sufficient space
for the proper exhibition of the proposed
collection, and this having been accorded
him, he at once proceeded with his self
assigned duty. The original proposition
was made in view of the possible non
acceptance of the United States Govern
ment of the invitation extended to it by
the French. Government to co-operate
with it and other Governments, in the
Exposition. The subsequent action of
the authorities at Washington, in ap
pointing Commissioners, did not, how
ever, deter Dr. Evans from pursuing his
original design.
The distinguished dentist at once em
ployed a special agent to make the col
lection spoken of, and he has been so
diligent In the work that the enterprise
has proved an entire success. Among the ]
material collected together, and already
partially shipped to France, are many
articles that are especially American
contrivances. There is a very
handsome model hospital car such
as was used between ' New
York and Washington during the rebel
lion. It is sixteen feet in length, and
the magnificent manner in which it is
fitted up and furnished will make it as
much a specimen of American mechani
cal and inventive skill as it is an evi
dence of American humanity. There
is also a Sanitary Commission tent to be
erected and furnished with a complete
assortment of all articles of food and
clothing issued by the Commission dur
ing the war. Several hundred articles
are embraced in this list. There is, also,
a Perot’s medicine wagon, exquisitely
finished in black walnut. This was
built in this city. There is also one of
Autenreith’s medicine wagons, built in
New Yerk. There are four ambulances;
one a fireman’s ambulance, belonging to
the Philadelphia Fire Company, which
was used in this city to transport the
sick and won nded from the depots to the
hospitals; a Perot’s ambulance made in
this city; Dr. B. Howard’s ambulance,
and the “Rucker ambulance” made in
Boston. There is also a Christian Com*
mission coffee wagon; one that was in
actual use in the field at the
time of General Lee’s surrender;
and a Pinner’s ambulance kitchen.
In addition there is a great variety of
other things, such as tents, models,
splints, &c. &c., embracing,in the aggre
gate, a collection which will probably
surpass in interest and variety any
similar collection in the Exposition.
The cost of the collection has exceeded
$30,000, all of which has been paid by
Dr. Evans, out of his own means, and
the Imperial Commissioners have so
evinced their appreciation of his self
sacrificing labors, and of the importance
of the collection, that they have set
apart for it a special section outside of
the snace allotted to the United States.
Dr. Evans is already favorably known
upon both sides of the Atlantic, for his
“La Commission Universelle” in which
he has eloquently told the story of self
sacrifice and popular philanthropby
which characterized the late struggle.
In this new effort he is but extending a
plan which he has long conceived of
making his native country and his
adopted country better known to each
other.
THE NAVAL, IN«ITJ1SI IToN.
Everybody remembers the special
Naval Board, consisting of Commanders
Harris and Adams and Engineer Owen
Jones, which sat last summer in inqui
sition upon the master-workmen of the
Philadelphia Navy Yard. These navy
officers catechised the mechanics as to
their political opinions, and upon their
report, most of the men were discharged
from their work in the Yard. This ac
tion was entirely in accord with the
known sentiments of the Secretary of
the Navy, and the Board has always
been understood as emanating directly
from Mr. Welles, and he has received
his share of the opprobrium which
necessarily fell upon the officers who
allowed themselves to be used for this
un-officerlike and very dirty work.
Yesterday Mr. Randall asserted on
the floor of Congress that this discredi
table proceeding was the work of the
Commodore of the Yard, and was un
known to the Navy Department. It
would be satisfactory to know if this is
the case or not. It seems equally re
markable that a Commodore of the Navy
should impose such extra-official duty
upon his subordinates, and that the
officers themselves should have submit
ted to the degradation without a protest
and without application to the Depart
ment for relief. Commodore Selfridge
owe 3 it to himself to get rid of the
responsibility if Mr. Randall has im-
I osed too much of it upon kim, and the
e fficere of the Board owe itto themselves
to clear this matter up fairly before the
community. Let us know where the
the edium of this business belongs, ami
r*-en there will be no injustice done to
anybody.
THE FIRE OKDISTAnrE.
There is a prevailing mistake that the
ection of Select Council, on Thursday
last,precluded the taking up again of the
ordinance regulating the Fire Depart
ment. Many of the most kealous friends
of the firemen urge the passage of the
bill,and a large portion of thebestolassof
firemen are in favor of the ordinance. As
for the property owners of the city,if the
question was left to their direct decision,
they would dispose of the whole diffi
culty in a much more summary way
than is proposed by the bill now before
Councils. As citizens cannot have what
they desire, they must put up with the
next best thing, and they will accord
ingly scan the ayes and nays closelyi
should the bill come up in Select Coun
cil this afternoon, as is expected.
THE MCVUtOX PAVEMENT.
Common Council, at a special meet
ing held yesterday afternoon, adopted a
resolution granting permission to the
proprietors of the Continental Hotel to
lay a Nicolson pavement on Ninth
street, from ChestDut to Sansom streets,
at their own expense. Select Council
will certainly concur, and citizens will
have an opportunity of testing the
merits of this new pavement in a cen
tral part of the city. It is a safe predic
tion to say that there will be very few
cobble stone pavements laid in Philadel
phia after a practical experience of the
numerous advantages possessed by the
Nicolson invention.
Ome, Rtatorl.
The Italian version of Macbeth is not by
any means a close copy of Shakspeare’s
play. But it offers some fine situations for
the actress personating “Lady Macbeth,”
and Mme. Ristori made the moat of them.
In-some points her conception of the char
acter is new, and in every scene she is
striking and impressive. The sleep-walk
ing scene was grand beyond any representa
tion of it seen here, audit produced a great
■ repression. The play was as well done, in
other respects,' as can be expected of a
foreign dramatic company.
There will be no performance of the Ris
tori troupe this evening. To-morrow even
ing the great actress will have a benefit,
appearing in the thrilling tragedy of Pia dei
Tolomei. On Saturday, at a matinee, she
will make her last appearance in Philadel
phia, in her grand r6le of “Elisabetta,” in
the drama of that name.
Mr. JD’llnj Vetter’s Pictures.
The sale of new European pictures, im
ported by Mr. A. D’Huy vetter, was begun
last evening at Scott’s Art Gallery, No. 1020
Chestnut street. The attendance of con
noisseurs was large, and the bidding gene
rally spirited. Many beautiful works were,
however, sold at very low prices. Theaale
will be continued this evening and to-mor
row evening, and asthe finest paintings are
y etto be disposed of, there will probably be
a fuller attendance and livelier competition.
