EVENING BULLETIN. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2i! 1866. TO ADVEUWSERS, In order to secure tie insertion of ad vertisements in our regular edition, it is absolutely necessasy-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 cotmtfy nsay he sentefTby the earliest trains in the . afternoon, and with our present large edition, we cannot delay - tor advertisements or anything else. Our friends will therefore please send their advertisements at as early an hour in the day *a possible. Those sent after 12 o'clock are likely to be omitted, TWO WESTEBW STATES. Illinois and . Wisconsin are two of the richest and inost progressive of the younger ••States •of the Union, and they are typical .especially of the great West- Their political character is, therefore, of more than’ usual importance, and their -voting last fall is especially significant, feecauaein the greater State of the two, Illinois, •president Johnson swung around the circle, and scattered the >con stitution-and the stars and stripes-broad* eaßt over theprairies, hoping to nget a rich crop of votes in favor of his' recon struction policy. The general result is well known, hut the official count-of the votes of the two States has just been completed and is worth looking into- The total voting on the Congressional candidates was as follows: ’Union. San. V Tot.vote. ..203 045 147,058 55,987 350.098 .. 79,323 55,416 23 907 184,739 Illinois Wisconsin ..282,368 202,474 79.894 Here are two of the most important of the Northwestern States, polling about 486,€00 votes; and giving a jointmajority cf about 80,000 against the Democratic candidates. And yet Illinois and Wis consin were once strong Democratic States. They both cast their electoral votes for Casß in 1848, and for Pierce in 1852. Illinois even cast hers for Bu chanan in 1856. There is no more striking illustration of the progress of liberal ideas and enlightenment, than the fact that these two comparatively young, but great and growing States, should have cast off the influence of the Democracy and have taken the lead of all the other States, not only against the Democratic doctrine, but also against the mongrel doctrine which the President, using all his official in-; fluence and patronage, strove to turn into a national policy. The State where. Douglas and Lincoln lie buried has re pudiated Andrew Johnson. The State which elected Doolittle to the Senate, repudiates him along with Andrew Johnson, because he was Weak enough, or vain enough, or wicked enough, to abandon the principles on which both he and Johnson were elected. Illinois and Wisconsin have a popula. tion--as heterogeneous, perhaps, as can be found in any part [of the United States. There is a very large propor tion-of people of foreign birth, or horn of -foreign parents, the Germans pre ponderating, the Dish coming next, -the English, and . Scotch next, while there are also many Norwegians, Danes, : Swiss and people of other European countries. These people differ in race and in religion, and they must consti tute nearly one-half the population. The other half consists of persons native horn, and chiefly of New.. England and Now -iYork stock. They are the prepon derating portion, filling most of the professions, moulding the laws and the social institutions, and establishing and carrying on the educational Bys tems’ that are preparing a still more en lightened population for the future. They are sending out to the further ! W-estern regions people trained! in their ideas, and . the younger States of Minnesota, lowa and Kansas are already: creating l for themselves' a; similar politi cal and social character, while even Missouri, now redeemed from slavery, is springing for ward- in the race of enlight enment and competing with her older: sister, Illinois, in all that goes to make : a great State. It’isonly for the -sake of illustration! that Illinois and Wisconsin have been ohosen as a text for this article. The ideas ithey enunciate at the polls are; those that prevail all through the North west, and thatare the true ideas, the practical development of. which is. anafeing this nation stride forward more rapidly-than ever to its destiny as the greateatand freest republic the world ever knew. These ideas have heretofore been rejected at the. South, and they are stillstubbornily resisted by a large por tion of the people who strove to de stroy, the republic for the sake of saving and perpetuating slavery. But . the sooner these stubborn xesißtants yield to inevitable destiny, and invite to their States people like those that have-made the great North west rich, intelligent and happy, the sooner Will they have a reconstruction that will be sure and steadfast, under which their States, too, will become rich, intelligent and fiappy. Unfor tunately the race of Southern parly politicians was not extinguished by the war. They survive, while tens of thou sands of innocent, deluded young men were slain, who might have received more readily the impress of modern ideas of enlightenment and freedom. But the time must copse when these shall prevail, and then the Sonth and the. Southwest may overtake the North and the Northwest, and move on, with equal pace, with them, on the roai of progress. THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.—PHILADELPHIA, F ! COOKERY AT WEST POINT. '- V? I The official report of tire Board of Vis itors to thd'United States Military Acad-. emy;, at : hps just been made public; Itwillbeseen by>a perusal of it,, hattheprominent'gentlemeneomposihg theßoard., did not f considerit their dignity to go- among the.pots - and panß of tW institution, and after over hauling the kitchen, they determined to ' speak out plainly and publicly; and give iheir views concerning the; management. of thingsi culinary. They say: , “Great complaints exist, and with some, apparentfoundation, that the. food ,is tin-, 1 properly cooked: .and very: badly .’served. The cookiogarrangements arpof the rudest' and mosiprimHive kind, large Iron kettles. being mainly employed. .The coffee cooked. in this Way is so .blackened that it has nei ther tbe appearance nor the taste of coffee. Fresh beef of excellent quality is rendered unpalatable and - unwholesome. by - this method of cooking, from which soups are made andserved on the same day With the meats. "It is a well-established fact in hy-. giene, tbat -freeh meats are rendered more palatable, digestible and nutritious, wbdn roasted, or broiled, than when, cooked by sny other process.” ; ; If there is any ’truth in the sayingthat Ptovidence sends victuals and the other party, furnishes the cooks, there must tie special Intelligence, Agencies : undtir Satekjp Influence, established ttie.United States. The Board of Visit ors found it so at West Point, and.the ieadera of their report have found it so eveiy where else. There is no country in the world where there are more delicious fruits, finer vegetables, more excellent meats, better fish, or more savory game than in the United States;; and it is donbtfifi whether in any other Country less savage than Dahomey or Greenland, there is so mnch bad cookery and shame ful waste of good fopd as in our own otherwise favored land. In fact, it is questionable whether the Dahomeyites would not do better in getting up a mis sionary stew than many of our Biddies do at cooking a beef-steak, while an Esquimaux could scarcely make a more horrid mess of his walrus chops and seal cutlets, than is daily made of Christian provender in half the hotels and nine-tenths of the eating houses of the land. The humiliating fact is patent that the American people are not, as a general rule, at home in the culinary department. American men can build the best ships in the world;they stand A l.as machinists,they beat all creation in mechanics, they ex cel the restof humanity in the way of labor-saving machinery, from apple parers to mowing-machines, and they astonish the world in the way they carry on war, bring about a peace, roll up a big debt and arrange to settle the little bill in the speediest way possible and upon the most satisfactory terms to the public creditor. But the men do not cook, and the women, will not, so this important branch of domestic economy falls into: the bands of Biddies fresh from the bOgs and' as green as their native soil, where their Hibernian Francatefiis and Blots never aspire to any higher art than the boiling ofa potato or the roasting of a herring. Bridget being overweening in her oWn conceit, and most Bourbonish in her unwillingness to learn, and somewhat of an autocrat withal, in the matter of keeping the mistress out of the kitchen, things culinary consequently go to the bad, and there is great waste of meat an da fretting of tempera,both masculine and feminine. WO have Agricultural societies, Hor ticuitnral societies,Mechanical institutes and all sorts of encouragement for all sorts of things except cookery. Certainly next in importance to the production of a good thing is the proper preparation of it forhse. We encourage the raising of fineGattle and the production of choice vegetables, and then we allow some bungling Incompetent to spoiland waste these good things that akind Providence has bestowed upon ns. When a costly public institution, like West Point, has good food spoiled hy bad cooks, what may be expectedin thousands of private families, where Biddy rules the roast, and (most terrible of all) in eating houses, where the'prescribed peck is accomplished, while the victim of sloppy soups,underdone or overdone meats, and fish spoiled in the cooking thereof, con tinues tolinger out a miserable existence? Who will be the Peter the Hermit of Christian feeding, who will arise equal to the occasion, and preach a crusade against the Infidels of Cookery, who spoil us in our flesh-pots? Let uaby all means have a reformin the WOsf Point Mtchen, and then let those who “Greatly dariDgdlne” at a restaurant or in a Biddy-ridden Home, look hopefully forward to "the good timecoming,?’when privateamend naent will; follow in the track of public reform, and when the Imp of Indiges tion and the Demon of Dyspepsia, will no loDger squat "Moping and Mowing’’ at the chair-back; over every mouthful swallowed. . ' ■ THE POSTMAN’S CSIKISTMAS. Almost every one that has aby cor respondence must feel, on these bitter mornings, thatthe postman, who,deli vers his letters, is entitled to some-little mark of gratitude. The Government salaries to the letter-carriers are very small, and their duties are fatiguing and at times very trying.: If each house holder would enclose .in an envelope a small Sum for his postman, to be de livered on one of' his morning calls about Christmas time, it would,without taxing any one heavily, produce* snug amount 'to make the: postman and his family happy in the. holidays. Similar deposits’ for, the .collectors of letters,, placed inthe lamp-post box that each ope uses inost frequently,. would .be similarly grateful to an equally worthy and ill-paid class, pf then. A dollar, or a half,or a quarter, thus expended, would not be thrown away. •j '-i • t It is to get legislators to spe clearly,or .act "impartially when thftqueltion before them ip one directly theins'clves. This difficalty Vas, illustrated? iby a. curious :mim£ug debate, yesterdayrin : .pongress, upon a bill .introduced .by ]Ar f ! Lawrence, of, jOhloV to -repeal the act of last' July, -4hs~salarles - of the members. From this debate it appears that the question of an increase of sala ries, entered actively into tjie late elec tions in sorne portions of the West, and very conflicting testimony was borne by different members ,as its effeotupon the result. Mr. Driggs, of Michigan, asserted that -he received a largely in creased majority,, because he had voted for the' increase, while Mr. Harding of Illinois,said that His majority h'ad been quadrupled . because he had. voted against it. With such a diametric difference of testimony, it is not likely that Congress will ever repeal . the act, and they wpuld .do a very unwise thing if they did;- Totheeffort to * keep- ex penditures down to what, is >believed to be the correct standard of. Republican simplicity, may he,referred the greater put of the political corruption and; dis honesty that now. prevails in almost every branch of the government, • and that has extended itself into almost all the business relations of society. It is an awkward thing for Congress to In crease its own compensation while it re fuses to do the same thing for other offi cers of the government on the plea of economy; but the principle of paying the laborer his just hire is undoubtedly the true one. The railway con ductor robß his employers sim ply because he cannot live decently on his scanty sahiry. Other officials re ceive bribes in various shapes for the same reason. The corruption of legisla tive "rings” comes from the same cause. In all grades and walks of life, from the day-laborer up to the Senator or Presi dent of the United States, inadequate compensation is an unceasing source of temptation; which comparatively few resist. The practical result of this Btate of affairs is the gradual exclosion of really upright men from office, simply because they cannot live upon their salaries, and because they will not steal and cannot be bribed. Honorable instances might be easily cited of most valuable members of Congress who have been compelled to decline a re-election, because they could not live in Washing ton upon their salary and had not private means sufficient to supply, the defici ency. ! Extravagant salaries may fairly be de nounced and prohibited every where,but there should be in allpublic offices such a compensation as will enable those who serve the public to live respectably and comfortably and as becomes the servants qf the greatest nation of the world. Pri vate business men have fio right to cor rupt and tempt their employes, their porteißjClerksor salesmen with beggarly salaries that almost compel them to be come thieves, and theaffairs of the na tion shonld be conducted on the ’ same principle. The principle of voluntary service is still, worse. The frightful corruption of the city govern ment of New York finds a feebler reflection in every large city of the United States, and is not to be wondered at. Unpaid service is always the most expensive, and if our city governments were so constituted that in legislative as in manual labor, there shonld be "an honest day’s wages for an honest day’s work," there would tie a clasß of men induced to administer civic affairs who would do the work better, and in the long run, at a very much less cost to the public. Why the City Councils of Philadelphia, for ex ample, should be expected to devote so much time as is necessary for their duties without pay, is very hard to un derstand or explain, and it will only be the truest economy When the voluntary system is broken up and moderate, decent salaries are substituted in its place. . THE OIBABD ESTATE. , A report was made to City Councils, yesterday, by the Committee on the Girard Estate, which gives a flattering view of. the affairs of the estate. The confusion and disorder in business and values growing out of the war caused some embarrassment for a time, and the College doors had to be closed against the admission of new pupils;- These difficulties have been happily overcome, and’the income from the estate Has been largely Increased by the enhancement of the value of ?eal estate. The. coal lands are becoming more and more pro ductive, and the rents of the valuable property in the city belonging to the estate have been largely increased. The dwellings in the row on Chestnut Street, above Eleventh, are gradually being altered into stores, and the Committee ate of opinion that this change will result in the property yielding five times as much rent as it did in 1860. : 5 ; Mr. Girard’s wisdom in limiting leases tp five years has been vindicited by the experience with his estate in the city,as the short leases have enabled the Trust tb increase the old low rents,' so as to keep pace with the conßtant and- rapid: increase in the value of real estate. The rule has worked badly, though,"in re* pectto the coal lands, and the managers of the estate have, experienced much difficulty in making this valuable por tion of the property productive. In the eourse of a fewyears the ■ income of the estate will be increased and' .the Trustees of the-College-will be en abled.to grehtly enlarge the facilities af forded by that institution tothb "Objects' of the princely bequest. I D AY, DECEVfBftK 21. —TR IPLE SHEET ; THE FIKEOKpiHANCE. The Fire Ordinance wa9 not called up > in SeleetCouncil yesterday; • How was! *t ? Did the rßulers prevent it ?—or were members anxious that it should be smothered ? The public ' would like to understand V the matter;:: and know whether the government of the city is in the hands of the legally elected repre sentatives of the citizens, or in the power of an organized body of men who insist upon their right to do as they please. - Musical* i We have examined .with much pleasure a series of musical compositions by Prof. J. Remington Falriand, published by William A. Pond A Co., New Yorkj and C. W. A. Trumpler, of this city. Mr. Fairlamb, during ins residence abroad, as Consul at Zurich, has made admirable use of his tim e in pursuing his musical studies, and shortly before bis return to this country received the high compliment of the King of Wur temhurg’s gold medal of art and scienoe. In the department of Sacred Music, especially, Mr. Fairlamb. has developed a very high de gree of rhußical geniUß, and has produced several; Te Deuma: of great merit; a fine Jubilate,- and a number of anthems and other sacred pleoea marked by . much -purityof Btyle and sound and classical harmonies. Amongst his secular compositions are an exquisite little “Cradle song,” and a very original and beautiful song, “The Faded Rose.” In instrumental music, Mr. Fairlamb has published a “Mazurka de Salon,” a brilliant ‘'lm promptu”. and a grand " Wedding March.” Mr. Fairlamb has re-established himself in Philadelphia and is a very valuable addi tion to the ranks of our professional muai cians,as a thorough teacher,an accomplished Composer and a highly culti^rated pianist and oiganist, ‘- Mmk. Ristobi’s Benefit will take place this evening, at the Academy of Music. The fine tragedy ot JPia dei Tolomei will be produced for the first time here. Of course all the admirers of the great actress will en deavor to be present on this occasion. .. To morrow she will make her last appearance in Philadelphia, at a matinee, when the splendid drama of Etisabetta will he played. Mr. B. Scott, Jr., had a fine attendance of people of taste at his Art Gallery, No. 1020 Chestnut street. The second evening’s sale of Mr. D’Huyvetter’s beautiful collec tion of pictures was a decided success, though many were sold at very low prices. The cream of the catalogue, comprising some exquisite works, remains to be dis posed of this evening. Pbof. Blot. —The celebrated Prof. Blot announces that be will deliver a series of ten lectures on Cookery, at Assembly Building. The opening discourse will be delivered next Thursday. Each branch of cookery will be illustrated during the series of lec tures. See the advertisement for details.
