Seventh •ad Chestnut EVENING BULLETIN. 3a arda + p, Deceml•er 14, 1807. Toe CITT'IE newr. Year after' year the .commerce and the 'business reputation of Philadelphia have been -permitted to suffer incalculable loss by the failure of the Trustees of the City Ice Boat to do their duty. Last year the ice-boat had been "thoroughly overhauled;" and was put to work after the river was securely closed, only to demonstrate its utter inefficiency. Its efforts to raise the ice-blockade at the Horse Shoe were on a par with Hrs. Par tington sweeping the Atlantic Ocean out of her way with her broom. Winter has again set in, and again we are told that the ice boat is now flilly equal to all emergen cies.. New boilers and extensive repairs have removed the difficulties expe rienced last year, and the important work of keeping open our highway to the sea is to be done in the most masterly manner. Only it does mit begin. The weather is bitterly cold and if the channel is not already blocked up, it will , be in another twenty-four. hours. The Ice-boat is snugly laid up in her berth, or was yesterday, and when the work begins, we may reasonably expect the same results as in former years. The. Ice-boat will pick away at the upper line of the gorge, and the broken ice will remain stationary,to freeze up again as soon as the boat hauls off, for the simple reason that there is nothing else for it to do. The absurdity of laying the boat up above' the Horse Shoe has been demonstrated year after year. The tide cannot carry off the broken ice, and what little progress is made in the ,day bloat in the night by the re freezing of the floating mass. The Ice-boat should be laid up at Cheater or some other point down the , river, and put to work en the very first appearance of ice. If a sudden snap of cold weather should close the river in a eingle night, the ice could be easily loosened from. ihe lower side, and would be rapidly floated off by the tide. This is the plain teaching of common sense, but the Trustees of the City Ice-boat "can't see it." It will Rem incredible to most of our readers, but it is a fact, that up to yesterday they had not even engaged an engineer. They probably intend doing so after they) are Aill3T assured that the river is hopelessly blockaded, and then they will come out with\ idle excuses and reasons for their neglect of a most important public duty. If it was necessary that the Delaware should be closed every winter, and her whole commerce destroyed for months together, the public would submit to the inevitable, and accept the situation , with patience. But there is no such necessity. The Delaware can be kept open during the severest winter, and It is the fault of the Trustees of the City Ice Boat and those who appoint them, that this annual loss of business and commercial reputation is inflicted upon Philadelphia. it Would, be better and cheaper . to have half a dozen Ice-boats at work, day and night, in the Delaware, than to submit to having 'hun dreds of sailing vessels and steamers frozen up all winter for the want of a little enter prise and energy. The whole com i rtmity has an interest in everything that aff ts the business reputation of Philadelphia, and has the right to complain when those who are entrusted with public duties-fail to perbrm - them properly. If the present Trustees of the City Ice-boat are too busy or too indifferent to attend to their important work, let them resign at once and let Councils give the work to others who will do it well. THE GE • T'S VSksultG ORPHAN ASYLUM. The correctness of the EVENING BULLETIN eiposing the character of tie Gettysburg Orphan Asylum scheme, his just received a fresh- endorsement at the hands of _Mr. Van Wyck,ot New York,who has denounced the fair in Congress as "one of the most infa- MOUS frauds and swindles ever sought to be perpetrated:under the guise of charity." Mr. Van Nyek exposes the fact that the great 460,000 farm, offered as the first prize, is in his district, and is not worth $6,000. Be states, furthermore, thal"the diamonds which constitute the other prizes are weirth•: .. less stones, which were used some - years ago to cheat a New York tobacconist out of $200,000. This is all in accordance with the position taken last efiling by Attorney-General Brew liter, whet& he first denounced this whole. Wieme as wicittery; and yet it appears that the epannissioner of Internal Revenuelas relieved this concern from the payment of fluty, and the Postmaster-General has written i, i 3 a kticr questing all postmasters to aid it. tinkle ttorney-General Brewster is satisfied Sni tthe ettiaibrg Orphan Asylum scheme is now ConOuvted within the strictest require izentiP4 the state laws iguivat katerlea,.the,, ... ,Yen's, Youths •11M.15.5pg , lien% Youtlut , arta'netai s Men% Youths , and Rolle ,Men's, Youth* and /tour Large ABBoririttnt. ea rose made by Mr. Van Wyck phould lead him to such prompt and, energetic action as will not only repeal the improper legislation by which,the, charter was procured, but will prevent a recurrencepf it for the future. The subject of the artificial' heating of city., railway cars is exciting considerable atten tion in this cold weather it , have a beenveral sent to com munication§ concerning have the BULLETIN. There are difficulties in the" way of this artificial heating, most prominent among which is the want of space- in which to place a sufficient heating apparatna and at the same time allow passengers to keep a safe distance from the fire. The heating of city railway cars would be of questionable utility, even though it were entirely-practi cable. The average time spent in a car on a single trip scarcely exceeds fifteen or twenty minutes, and passengers who go abroad' in winter and , who can indulge in the luxury of car-riding are usually clad warm enough to endure the frosts of the interior of the car for so brief a rriod. Besides this, there is such a dread pure air among very many people that some thin-blooded mortal would insist upon having every door and window shut, not withstanding the fact that the stove might'be red-hot, The liability to vertigo and the other ills incident to breathing a vitiated at posphere, is well understood by every; per son who travels in all American ridlrorul car, or who goes inside an American church, lec ture-room or concert-hall. Considering all the advantages'and disadvantages resulting from heating city railway cars, passengers would probably be better off in the enjoyment of reasonably, pure air, even though it be at the risk of an - occasional chill. Hogarth's quaint conceit of exhibiting a stupidly vindictive fellow in the act of saw ing himself off on a tave.in sign, during an election riot, has been. outdone in the at tempted rescue of the Fenian Colonel Burke from Clerkenwell prison, London. The Colonel.was in limbo, and the highly ingeni ous plan of blowing• up the entire establish ment, Colonel and all, was hit upon Ells a way of liberating the distinguished Fenian. The result is seen in scores of wounded innocents, while the Colonel remains secure in du rance. There is no doubt that the Fenians are terribly in earnest; but, taking the organization as a whOle, it could not make itself more ridiculous if its object was to enact a broad farce upon a large scale, in stead of getting up the grand, dra matic spectacle of the liberation of Ireland. If ever the green isle throws off the British yoke, it will be through more judicious management than has yet been shoals by any Fenian movement, from the masterly blundering (drworse), of Head Centre Ste phens and "President" Roberts, to the blow ers up of Clerkenwell prison. Poor Ire land ! She may well exclaim: "Save me from my friends !" • New York will do things upon a large scale. In the way of marders, conflagrations, robberies, &c., it does things by wholesale and it gets up a piece of damage or deviltry on the same stupendous plant hat it piles up Democratic majorities. Yesterday morning in broad daylight the clearing clerk of the Bank of the State of New York was seized at Wall and 'William streets, dragged after a sleigh, and after being considerably beaten, he was robbed of his satchel. The satchel contained about three millions of ,dollars in checks and drafts, and five hundred dollars in money. The scamps will realize upon the currency, but the checks will be useless to them. This sort lof forcible`abduction of a lad in the face of d 4, and the unceremonious appropriation of the properfite haft in charge, is worthy of the boldest exploits of the swell mob of London. • • The opinio n "expressed by Judge Wood ward in Congress, yesterday, that "the word 'misdemeanors,' as used in the Constitution, meant not a violation of law, but miscon duct in office, knowingly done to the preju dice of the public or' of individuals," is an important reinforcement of Boutwell's argument on impeachment. It takes pre cisely the same ground, and coining from a late member of the Supreme Court of Penn sylvania, will command much awoke is Congress. It is . , ,foroinate, however, that Judge Woodwinl 4, .Tild have withheld his opinion• untiU,.: of no value to Mr. Dant well and ti‘friends.

FROM NEW YORK, The Snow Stonn—litaUroad Blockades —The allth Avenue Allatrder —Chartes Dickens—Dartmouith College Alumni. (Correspondence of toe Pkilactelphla Evenhni Bulletin.) tiliw Toni:, December 1", 18n7.—Every winter we have a storm wilder; fiercer, and in every way greater than any previous -storm the oldest In habitant can remember. What will it be fifty years hemee? The oldest inhabitants are getting ptuszied. The great storm of Thursday upset all calculations. It was, of course, unlooked-for thus early in the season, and all aorta of inconve niences, and even suffering, have resulted. The snow began falling about one o'clock Thursday morning and continued till a Late hour owFriday night. Before noon, of Thursday, the wind rose to almost a gale. At two o'clock Thursday morning the thennometer marked 35, at eight A. M.lB, and at noon 10 degrees above zero. This was remarkable weather for the season of the • year, for this city. The snow Icon impeded travel on the railroad routes and ferries. Toward night some of the street railroad Unaware obliged to stop ,running. The snow was so blinding that on some of the longer ferries the pilots were forced to "feel" their way to the slips and go ing by guess in some instances, pass ed several ships out of the route. All the railroads center ing here have suffered. They could not, of course, pretend to keep "time," and on a num ber of the trains, the woodgiving out, the pas sengers eu ff ered intensely with the cold. On a Hudson river train, which was ever so many hours hi coming from Sing Sing, the supply of firewood being exhausted, the passengers, somewhere below Dobb's Ferry, made a raid on somebody's gegid board fence, and therefrom re plenished the fires. It is said no fence was ever more quickly demolished. Thus far we have heard of few serious accidents resulting from the storm. Today everybody or everybody's proxy has been shoveling snow. Shovels are at a York comes out of the snow•sirifla with even exhilara tion. Sleighing is a hazily here, for the thou sands of heavy drays and cabs soon spoil the .deepest snow, and so the people are improving the present. ,OrdinarY travel is being resumed, amid by to-morrow the great snow storm would be forgotten save for the inevitable slush. ' The Fifth Avenue Theatre murder caused more ,exeltement loads city than any similar crime for a long time. In brief the !story is this: Kelly and Leon were proprietors of the Minstrel Hall, 230. 720 Broadway, and Samuel M. Sharpley owned the Theatre Cornique. Sharpley had heard that Leon had reported him to be bankrupt. Mile of course caused "bad blood," which was thickened by an alleged unfairness on the part of Leon in engaging dancers. The several parties accidentally met atthe matinee at the girth Ave nue Theatre. After the, performance, Sharpley demanded a retraction from Leon. This led to angryarorde. It is said Sharpley called Leon a liar, when Kelly interfered to shield his partner. Sharpley immediately .struck Kelly. Thomas b'harpley, S. M.'s brother, came up at this mo ment, and Kelly says the two brothers and Alli• son,.the'Traisurer of the Fifth Avenue Theatre, were nil lacating and - kicking hind at one time. Kelly atlength gained his feet and fired a re volver at Thomas Sharpley, who fell dead. Sam uel Shar . pley then firedon Kelly,the ball entering • the head above the left ear, and lodging in the left temple. Ito attempted to.fire at Kelly again, tbut was prevented by a policeman, and the ball, ;being discharged, lodged to his own hand. It is Ithought Kelly will recover. Charles Dickens, of course, causes a great stir In many cireles here. He has bee 4 warmly re exived.r The enthusiasm of his reception is in .sking contrast with the critical kindness :shown him by the. Bostonians. it has little of the toadyism of his reception here years ago, but is :Tie, earnest and warm. it in the greeting onegiven a true friend.. The people, in the ap pe to "MartinChuzzleivit," may find all this chronicled in a way euggesting contrast with the records of ' that book. "Jefferson Brick" (some people will insist that Dickens had an eye to the K. Y. !Jerald) of course feels ,sore-headed, and plainly says so, but then people don't mind him. The readings are heard by full houses, and are a plauded ill a Way which must be welcome. There is only one drawback-the tickets will get into the heeds of the speculator& The Alumni of Dartmouth College mot at Del. snonleo's Thursday evening, despite the storm, And had a very pleasant time. A committee was appointed to enlarge the general fund of the, College. by $.300,000, if possible. New:Yong, Dec. 14.--Alr. C. W. Miller, a gen tleman doleg business in Wall street, while sit ting In the Gold Room, a day or two ago, had his pocket-book taken from the breast-pocket of his coat by a man who boldly . walked up to him and as if by chance struck his coat open.. , On feeling the man's hand pass over his heart he felt for his pocket and found that the pocketbook, containing $B,OOO , in stocks, wee , gone, likewise the thief. In the ease , of Vernon K.

The aleig 'rig yesterday was excellent in the city, the'Par 'and on the different roads leading . .frOm thmekty. Hundreds of sleighs were out in the different streets; and during the afterhooti and evening the air in the vicinity of the Park was musical with the chime of bells. The city railroads are now running more regularly. The Coroner's inqueat over the body of Thomas Sharpe, killed in the affray on Broadway on Wednesday,was held yesterday. Samuel Sharpe was released on his own recogniz.ince, Kelly re . fusing. to enter any complaiut against him, and Leon was discharged, Sharpe making deposition "that he bat; no charge to prefer ae`ain,st that gen tleman.

This brings the line to the eastern base of the Rocky mountains, and it is expected that the track will be laid thirty miles further, to Evans Pass. theblgheot point on the road, by January. The maximum grade from the foot of the mountains to the summit is but eighty feet to the mile, while that of many eastern roads is over one hundred. Work in the rock.euttirwas on the .western elope will continue through the winter, and there in now no reason to doubt that the entire grand line to the Pa cific will be open for berinv.a In The means provided for the cematructian of this Great National Work are ample. The United States grants its Six Per Cent. Bonds at the rate of from eId,OCO to 1848.0e0 per mile, for which It takes a &mond lien as security, and receives payment to a largo if 4 1 the full extent of its claim in services. These Bou' P re issued as each twenty-mile section is finished, and after it has been ex. amined by United States Commissioners add pronounced to be in ail reSpeets a first-class road, thoroughly supplied with depots, reparr.shope„ stations, and all the necessary rolling stock and other equipments. The United States alio makes a donation of 12,1300 acres of land to the Mile, which will be a source of large re venue to the Company. • Much of this land in the Platte Valley Is among the most fertile in the world,. and other large portions are'covered with beivy pine foredo and abound in, coal of the beat quality. • The Company is also authorized to issue its own Fiat Mortgage Bonds to an amount equal to the Bane of the Government and no more. Eon. E. D. Morgan and lion. Oakes Ames are Trustees for the Bondholdernand deliver the Bonds to the' Conipany only as the work pro gresses, so that they always represent an actual and pro. ductivo value. The authorized capital of the Company is One Hundred Million Dollars, of which over live millions have been Paid in upon the work already done. EARNINGS OF THE COMPANY. °At present, the profits of the Company Are derived only from its boost traffic, but this is already much more thin sufficient to pay the intereet on all the Bonds the Company can teen. if not another mile Were built. it is not doubted that whop the toad is.completed the through traffic of the only line connecting the Atlantic and Pati ne, States will be large beyond precedont,and as there will be no competition, it CAA alweye be done at profitable rates. It will be noticed that the Union Pacific Railroad is, in fact, a toverninent Work, built under the supervision of Government officers, and. to a large extent with Go vernment money, and that .

The entire press seems to be of the opinion that the time for lenity towards the Fenians has passed. The Times is particularly decided in its remarks, and closes a lengthy article with the following words; • "Let there be no more dlemene'y Toifenianism, which is a, mixture of treason and usatasioation." Rumors are current that Colonel Kelly, the Fenian prisoner who Was rescued at Manchester, is la England, notwithstanding the stories to the contrary, and that he is still 'directing the,movi-; ments of the Fenian Brotherhood. , There are : diode who openly melt that the explosion at Clerkenwell was the result of Otte of Kelly's; schemes.

Enough has r been discovered to 'establish the fact that a regular: ring existed during the, war, which controlled the action of the Government to a great extent, in the'purchase of projectiles., TIM evidence to-day shows that: at the head of. this, ring was a man new occupying an, import ant place in the Ordnance Department, and as sociated with him was a gentleman now a mew ber of the Cabinet, together with several mem bers of Congress.
