A Monday, January 6; 1668. `Or V , ! IA f • TILE LEGISLATURE: "to-morrow the Pennsylvania Legislature ,d f4lBb - w Bill commence its regular session. L e fie.Rcpublicans have a majority in each • 'Mouse, but so much reduced from the ma t F o es of last year, that they should recall irr,he leading events and the general legislation fkit, session of 1867, and try to avoid the Al p •as and faults then committed. It is quite. " 3 „: 'certain that the people, at the election of last • October,, intended to administer a rebuke to F their faithless representatives. Nothing but good legislation and honorable conduct, this winter, can prevent a more severe rebuke at the polls next October; and if Pennsylvania. ohould be carried by the Democrats then, / t .Tjthere would be little chance of electing a "K~ Republican to the Presidency in November. #14671 One of the first faults committed at the last c .sewn was in the election of a United States senator. Members chosen under a pledge to vote for one candidate, suddenly and without /a s good reason that could be made public, t Voted for another. In spite of a whitewashing Jeport, from a committee that could not have been exp&ted to make a ditlerent one, no . 4 ~intelligent men believe that the election of a Senator Am ' , Senator last year was effected by fair and 0 honorable means. Thus was demoralization .:; -- 'F'.:ti established in the last Legislature early in the ' session, and the Republican party throughout. ,F • . the State was weakened by the faults of a few ? ' ' of its members at Harrisburg. Their subse r,.y ". quent acts included some that were wise and 4 `? - iildicious; but many that were the contrary. 13'1' r . . '‘ ''. Some of their omissions were as bad as their „ . 1 . r . acts. Their refusal to let the people of Plata- P.: k' delphia vote on the Sunday car question, and It el.• e y,- • some other illibemlities towards this city, ' "effected by the votes of ignorant and bigoted '=P • teountry meml ers, would have cost the Re ' ~ .:,,,itblicans the election here last October, had , ' I tit& been no other damaging influences at • 2.1 'work I; i,, ' ! Af ' l . There is to be no election for United States .:i t, ' 4 1enator this year, and we trust that none of f - , ~ , -1 : the akalign machinery of the election of last =',:-. ,';'Pltever will be brought to bear upon the elec- C" 1 . : ~;.• tion of officers of the two Houses, or upon 4, 44 ' that for State Treasurer. If these are coa -1 ducted solely with a view to the choke of the . ; best men for the respective places; the people .. generally will be satisfied,and the Republican members, composing the majority, will do r X' themselves and their party credit. But they _ _ must bear in mind that all their actions will • 'a , Tir - be 'watched and remembered, and that the re cord of them, for good or evil, will be brought tev , ' ;N o •,,,forward to influence the State and national • :teleetions of next autuonn. Under a succession of-Republican Gover nors and Legislatures, Pennsylvania has reached a condition of very high wealth and prosperity. State taxes have been ditnin islied, the revenue has increased from other sources, and there is a larger surplus in•the Ttcasury than has ever been expected. T'uere is a disposition, among some persons, to use ; this surplus in unnecessary extravagance and • liberality, and it is best to check this disposi tion. :While paying good salaries to go , al public officers, and making generous appro priations for education and for the patriotic .and charitable institutions of the State,. we would have all unnecessary expenditure for other objects stoplied. The redemption of the State debt cannot go on -.- too rapidly, and all tllp aecumula•• lions of the Treasury should be de t voted to that object above all others. As 4 the debt is reduced, taxation will be reduced, and if honesty and wisdom rule at Harrisburg; there are men -who read this who will live to see the debt all paid, and the citizens of this * commonwealth all exempted from direct in * dividual taxation for State purposes. "' Economy ,in administration, now and here after, is therefore a prime object towards . • which the efforts of all faithful representa ' - tives should be directed. There is much in the composition of the present Lees ? 'attire to inspire a hope that this object will r" be pursued, and that there will be much less • ground for complaint of extravattance and than there has been for a number L'Of SCkSiOnE. JOIJRNALINIII AND LITERATURE. English compobition, or American cum position, as generally practiced by writers for the daily press, cannot be considered one of ) the fine arts. It is, with nine-tenths of all 44_4.newepaner writers, a mere performance of a , 1 1 Nilaily task or job. kitkpluch work is expected L by employers, and so much rspace, filled with - Nwlat tare called "editorials," is expected from = to public. Necessarily, this work must b..; i,losistily done at times, and in most cases, volem, work is done hastily, it is done badly. iWitidicious and critical, managing editor weed, in making a tariff of charges foredito riaiNlipay, three or four times as much for a -well-considered and well-written article of bait a column, as he would for one histily shed-off, of one or two columns. Brevitv t s • condensation ought to be prime merits in •wspaper writing, as in all oljter writing. "',Bat, as said before, careful newspaper 'Ong, ID which brevity and condens Won hhe practised, call hardly be expected of i~giieressional rs Write for the d press: - ,)fitldenro requires dAiberate thought as deliberate composition, and in this at least, there are few vipers th et d ..to pay tirst-elte-s brains daily, for / OalitOttut of first-class work. Th, newspaper has spoiled DUD: . /-er• o moy always make a by 'Vgre a rePtlitallOU as a livtl,v leder parqflphist. But, as a 7ure, or of .1 148-Leases—Gl . `IA phrase which,cxpresaug the ,3Lii an art—few modtirn ea can be entitled ,to any have essayist , to be OEM poets, dramatists, novelists, historians . and orators. But none have really sneceeded in imong a high reputation. Mr. Bryant was ft poet before he was an editor, and while he WI not to drudge for years at a daily paper in Early rife, he has, through deserved good fortune, been able to avoid similar drudgery in later years. Dr. Holland, who has been always a journalist, has written some clever books. But no one can pretend that he is a great poet, or a great novelist, or a great essayist. With these two ends the list of contempo raneous American journalists for whom can be claimed respectable positions in the per manent literature of the country. There are hundreds who have written poems, novels, plays, books of travel, and so-called histo ries; but these have been,without exception, mediocre works, that won, for a time, suc cess, through the gratuitous advertising that can usually be obtained from that esprit dri , corps which, in some places, has won for the editorial fraternity the derisive title of a Mutual Admiration Society. When one editor indiscreetly publishes in a volume, let ters of travel that passed very well singly in his paper, a brother editor seems bound to applaud it as a wonderful work ; and when the brother editor writes what he calls a play, and gets an obliging manager to produce it, the traveled editor feels bound to reciprocate with applause of the so-called play—such ap plause, too, as was never awarded to poor Shakespeare for the best of his works per formed in his life time. These novels, travels, plays, poems and histories, written by professional newspaper men, are not literature ; and their Productions divert their authors from their legitimate busi ness, than which there is none more dignified and respectable, when it is pursued honestly, faithfully and conscientiously. The best of editors tbulcl not excel ,in a line diverging from his proper one ; but when any below the grade of best attempt such a divergence, the failure is contemptible and ridiculous. The mischief is,the press encourages the very vice and weakness that degrade it, forgetting that in journalism,as in all other occupations, ye sector ultrderepidant, is a very wise,true and safe motto.' • MRS. RJE;RIVLIWS RE.IOINOS. We take great pleasure in announcing that Mrs. Frances Anne Kemble has determined to give, next spring, a course of Readings from Shakespeare in the principal eastern cities. Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and Boston will each be favored, in the order named. The Readings will commence on the first of March. It is long since Mrs. Kemble has been•heard in public is Philadelphia ; but the recollection of her wonderful interpretations of Shakespeare is fresh in the memories of many of our citizens; while a new generation have grown up. children fifteen or twenty years ago, who will enjoy now in reality the charming intellectual feasts of which they have heard their fathers and mothers speak. There has been no reader of Shakespeare, male or female, in recent times at least, equal to Mrs. Kemble, and her re-appearance, simply as ' a reader, will delight people of pure taste. It may tend too, to expose more than ever the degradation of the modern drama, and help to bring the public back to an appreciation of better things. The Readings will be under the business management of Mr. T. B. Pngh, of this city. By the Ati,intie Cable, we arc informed that General Menabrea, the Prime Minister of Italy, has foiled time;amid the perplexities of naming a new Cabinet, to hunt up and give publicity to certain private letters which prose beyond question that his predecessor Ratazzi, was not only friendly to the late popular movement upon Rome, but that he gave the insurgents the valuable assistanee of his ribs ice, and exercised his influence in their behalf: With the conduct of Gen. Menabrea in thus endeavoring to bring discredit upbn his r ival by a sacrifice of honor and decency, we have nothing to do. The Italian people long ago decided in favor of Ratazzi,• and the had faith of his successor in publish ing private correspondence will only ratify and strengthen this decision. But the iuforma lion is important, from the fact that it verifies the assertions made by the American and European powers, that there was a secret un derstanding between Garibaldi and the Italian 'Government, and that the former felt assured of Fupport and encouragement when he set his squadrons in the field and moved upon the Eternal City. It was thought' that Victor Etumanual was a party to this scheMe, but it is - quite evident now that he was too weak and timid to represent, as his minister did; this popular fueling in favor of the seizure of Rome. He was frightened by the shadow of that French three which would have remained inactive if be had seized the opportunity and supported Garibaldi, but 'Click, - encouraged by his tholish hesitation, audaciously interposed to protect the Pope. It is easy to understand that, while all the world believed the King and his minister eager and united in their desire to consummate the wishes of Italy, they were probably quarrelling about the policy of the government. Ratazzi foresaw, as all other brave men did, that Italy's op pertFinity had come when Garibaldi crossed the frontier, and it needed but that the Italian troops should reach Rome and hold it, to prevent any interference on the part of the French. Certainly Napoleon, .under the then existing circuurstauces, would not have ventured upon a declaration of war. tine of the most curious things about the Garibaldi insurrection was that every Conjec ture of the press and of public men, as to the probable etairSe of events, - was falsitkid; We now have an explanation of this in the vacil lation of the King, who longed to wield his ; A ntic in R6me, but feared to strive fur that . and between the two emotions dared not declare his policy until threed to do so by the of the French army at Civita Vex e Ufikst: soniethink le done, end done quickly, )o restrain the blood-thirsty propensities of the newspaper editors and reportare of Rich- Vic, journalistic prvrietors will have to clot+ their for lack of The 11 ii!es and the P,sliards have ,old at, bitter in, any known in Italiatt entir, slid they pop away at each other with roichers, knock evt other hi the bent. with blokinuks and billies, and us stmt each ith bowie-knives whenever thty meet tiuyw;lere between the James and the Pa lapEco, rind whetivr they have imbibed their stock of Dutch cuuruge from the bar-rutml ol THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN . PHILADELPHIA, MON DAY, JANUARY 6,1868. "narntn's or at the "tap" of the Spotswood. do example set by such distinguished fire eaters cannot fail to find imitators amongthe inky chivalry, anti blackened eyes and en sangnined noses have ever since been plenty as blackberries among the Knights of the Scissors and Steel-pen, and the Squires of the Pencil and Note-book. The thing culminated on Saturday in a free fight at the Constitutional Convention now in session at Richmond. Unfortunately, the telegraph is provokingly brief and unsatis factory upon the subject merely saying that the city had been quite lively with news paper fights, one occurring between a re porter of the Examiner, and the corres pondent of the New York. Herald, and one between a reporter of the Dispatch and the official reporter of the Convention,in which a member of the Convention and another re porter joined. We are not informed who com menced the row, who drew the first blood, who came off secondbest, or "what men of note (s) on either side were whipped." If these desperate Southern scribes had skill or steadiness equal to their pugnacity, they Would make a Kilkenny-cat business or it; and then journalism could take a fresh start in the capital of the "Old Dominion," haply With a little more balance and common sense among those who are the coming men on Richmond tripods. The other day a poor wretch who had murdered a man in a street fight, was hanged in Newark, N. J., and the New York news papers, which were spoiling for a sensation, pounced Upon the event with the avidity of hungry buzzards. On the following day the principal journals devoted columns of de scription to the horrible scene, and they nor rated , everything, from the incidents that im mediately and even remotely preceded the banging, to the death struggles, when, not content with the usual reportorial remark that there was "a convulsive twitching of the limbs," they described with dreadful mi nuteness every indication of the terrible struggle between life and death. They fairly gloated over it, and they rolled the narrative like a sweet morsel beneath their journalistic tongues and seemed as loath to come to the crisis and let their man die, as a cat is unwil ling to allow the last spark of life escape from a captive mouse. Even the Tribune, while making the hanging the occasion for a homily upon the horrors of capital punish ment, went into the details with a gusto that showed that it rather liked them and it drew a picture of the taking-off that is scarcely less shocking than the scene of the actual hanging. The New York newspapers have a morbid class of readers Ito cater for. The fastness of their peculiar metropolitan life makes ordinary mental pabulum tasteless and insipid; they need, something well spiced, highly seasoned and sensational: and they get it in, abundance. There is a story told of a Savannah editor, who, about Christmas time, was driven almost to distraction by the tooting upon a tin horn of a yoringster at his office-door. Finally the editor rushed. out and for a quar ter purchased the instrument of torture. Not long after he was horrified to lied his door beset by a dozen more urchins, who, having beard of the speculation, went to see if they could not made as good a bargain, and each boy blew away with might and main. If it were not for this incident the BULLETIN might be tempted to otter a pretty round figure for the cracked clario net upon which some gentleman connected with the double-headed-girl-and big-snake-show opposite its office, constantly operates to the damage of the ears and nerves of the entire neighborhood. If we bought the clarionet we might then have to purchase a hurdy-gurdy or a broken-winded hand organ, or pension a whole regiment of Jem Bagses, or even buy off a bag-piper, so we prefer to rather suffer present discordant ills than fly to those we know not of. After the double-headed girl and the anaconda hate left their present quarters, the aermin IA:moo - at is to take up its abode there. We will hail with double joy the coming in of the organ of the German Democracy, aslt involves the going out of the clarionet of the show people.

Proceedinao Before the Ordnance . Committee. (Special Despatch to th 9 Minnielama Evening Bulletin.] WAsittricapN, Ja o.—Although the Ordnance. Committee have deemed proper to keep their proceedings secret during the examination of several important witnesses, yet an interesting fact has leaked out which occurred in the testi mony on Saturday last, during the examination of a witness who is con nected. with the Ordnance Bureau. It appears that some time ago the Committee addressed a note to Gen. Dyer, Chief of the Ord „palace Bureau, calling upon him to furnish the bitatapiount of various kinds of projectiles used during the 'Viral., and especially the amount that bad been used and contracted for of what is known as "Dyer projectiles.” After some little delay, the statement was returned to the Cot ii mitten without including the latter, and it was alleged that at' present it would be, impw , sible, for various reason., to furnish the information called for. A. witurss beton; the Committee on Saturday, however. testified that the information had been suppressed bY the Ordnance Departtnent,and no good reason existed for Its not having been furnished. 1.7"p0n this fact coming out, Gen. Butler, by direction of the Committm, immediately dictated a letter, re markable more for its piquancy than its length, to Gen. Dyer, calling upon him for the sup prrssed information at once. Tho testimony also showed that the regulations required that all large guns purchased should be subjected to several tests to prove not only their being clear from defects, but their relative strength and endurance; whereas a Liege propor tion of these gun' were accepted by the Ordnance Department without ever being ,übjected to any tests whatever.

THIRD EDITION. FROM WASHINGTON. THE CASE OF SECRETARY STANTON. Dispute about Gen. Baird's New Or- RESIGN'ATION OF GENERAL KILPATRICK. OPENING OF CONGRESS. SOUTHERN CONSTITUTION/ • C CONVENTIONS. , The Case of Secretary Stanton. [Special Devpatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. WAsirmtaorr, Jan. 6.—The report in the case of Secretary Stanton, It' is understood, will not be laid before the Senate until to-morrow or Wednesday. As has been stated, the document, is very long and merely. Argumentative. It has been prepared with great care, and takes up and treats the various points brought against Mr. Stanton by the President in a strictly legal manner. It has been telegraphed from hero that one of the" many point s which Would be shown against the President in this report ie,that in the case of the despatch from General Baird to Secretary Stanton, dated New Orleans, 2.Bth of August, just previous to the New Orleans riot, the despatch was garbled by order of the President,that a stronger ease might be made out against Mr. Stanton. There is an other fact concerning the above to he presented in the forthcoming report, Which leaveS thte entire matter more mysterious than ever, and which, to some extent, relieves the President from the charge in Secretary Stanton's testimony before the Judiciary Committee relative to the New Orleans riots. He presented a correct copy, as be thought of General Baird's despatch, as taken from the files of the War Department. and in this copy the words "at once" are found. These words seemed to have escaped Mr. Stan ton's a ttent ion,until Gen. Baird recently produced the original despatch as sworn to without them, and called his attention to the difference. The question now seems to be,how came those words in the despatch here. Senator Howard's report will assume that the copy furnb-hed by Gen. Baird is the correct one, and not the copy used by the • President in his message. Iu a private letter read here from Gem. Kilpat rick, - United, States Minister to Chile, he an nounces his intention of resigning his position. He will return home in June, and it is understood that he will offer his services to the National Republican Committee:in the Presidential cam paign. Although Gen. Kilpatrick's intention of resigning Is known to few, it i said several par ties are already after his place. A ppointment of Civil O ff iceri. (Specialbeapatch to the Phitedelphls Evening Bulletin.)

Mr. Boutwell also introduced a resolution in structing the committee to inquire into the ex pediency of committing all appointments of military officers in the Southern States to the General of the armies, and of reducing the five military districts into one, to be placed under tit,: exelu-ive control of the General of the armies. tSPkcittl Derpatelt to the Philadelphia Evening Belletin WAsuiNGioN, January tith.—The joint re.solit tion relating to the thanks of Congress to Gen. in troduced by Mr. Eldridge, of Wis consin. has just been laid upon the table The joint resolution offered by Mr. Washburn of Illinois, condemning President: Johnson for the removal of Sheridan, and thanking that officer for his administration of affairs in the „Fifth Military District, and also General.

TELEG4.II.PI-I. leans Despatches. Thanks of Congress. From Pito+lot rah. ance nor permit such action without instructions to that etleet from the President. Please instruct me at once by telegraph." ' Upon this thp President remarks : The 28th of August Was on Saturday: 'next morning, the 29th,Athis despatch was received by Mr. Stanton, at his residence In this city, and he took no ac tion upon it, and' neither 'sent ihstructions to General Baird himself, nor presented it to me for such instructions. On the next Monday the riot occurred. I never saw this despatch from Gen. Baird until some ten days or two weeks after Atte riot, when, upon my calling for all the dhs patches with a view to their publication, Mr. Stanton sent it to me. These facts all appear in the testimony of Mr. Stanton before the Judici ary Committee In the impeachment investiga tion. On the 80th, the day of the riot, and after it was suppressed, Gen. Baird wrote to Mr. Stan ton a long letter, from which I make the follow in/ glextracts: "Bir—l have the honor to inform you that a very serious riot occurred hero to-day. I had not been applied to by the Convention for pro tection, but the Lieut,-Governor and Mayor had freely consulted with me, and I was so fully, con vinced that It was so strongly the interest of the city authorities to preserve peace,in order to pre vent military intetference, that I did not regard an outbreak as a thing to be apprehended. The ItLieut.-Governor assured me that even if a writ of arrest was issued by the Court, the Sheriff would not attempt to serve it without my permission, and for to-day \they designed to suspend it. I inclose herewith . .. of my correspondence with the Mayor, and of espatch which the Lieutenant-Governor claims t have received from the President. I regret that no reply to my despatch to you of Saturday has not yet reached me Gen. Sheri -1 den is still absent in Texas." The President then says:—"The despatch of Gen. Baird, of the 28th, asks for immediate in. hut] tions." The facts are these : The Committee have a copy of the despatch, sworn to by Gen. Baird as the some sent to Mr. Stanton,in which the words "at once." in the last sentence, do not appear, that sentence reading "Please instruct me by telegraph.' Yet the President both put in these words "at once" and then commented upon them further on as showing that General Baird naked for " immediate" instructions. Mr. Stanton, reasoning upon Gen. Baird's despatch, supposed that in the absence of instructions, Gen. Baird would pr-- vent interference, as he intimated his instructions could be agreed upon, and it appears, by General Baird's subsequent letters that lie did not antici pate interference.. The next dny nothing oc eurred. It Is believed that several other points made in the message, will, when explained, make fully as bad showing for the Executive as this new instance of garbling despatches. 'DII6XICO.

By orders from General Porfirio Diaz, commanding the department. who had arrived at Vera Cruz, a steamer with fifteen hun dred troops tinder General Alatorre bud sailed from that port for Yucatan, to suppress the re bellion in that peninsula. General Idillian replaced General Alatorre in -the military command at Vera .Cruz., during the latter's absence. The Mexican treapury was reported to be empty, and the resignation of Senor - Jose! Maria Iglesias. as Minister of the Treasury, had been accepted by President Juarez. The other changes reported in the Cabinet re cently are doubtful. Senor Lerdo de Tejada keeps his portfolio and his seat in Congress as well. Pre:iident Juarez was inaugurated at an extra ordinary session called on the girth, and delivered an inaugural address. On December 31st a duel took place at the capital between Colonels Mejia and Garda, in • which the latter was fatally wounded. Colonel Barron bad arrived at the Capital to arrange the affairs of the Barron es tate, left in his hands by the death of Don Eustaquio Barron a few months since. The estate is probably the most valuable in the republic. The vicar of Cuernavaca had been driven from that place. Senor Morales, who was recently kidnapped, was compelled to pay 6430,000 as a ransom for his life This kidnapping business Is becoming again of great frequency, Congress has taken it into con sideration and promises to remedy the evil.
