EVENING BULLETIN. ' Int .7310mary 17, 18611„ TH E EIUIMPCAIV PE ACE E STAR. 1.18111 MEN T. The peace in Europe, to which we have ktely referred, and which thoughtless an aalists might consider something almost millennial, is, as has been already intimated, 'somewhat delusive and very expensive. The armies and navies of the principal nations,of Europe, according to the latest statistics, comprise just about five millions of men. These five millions are the picked men of Europe; those between the ages of 18 and 45; those free from disease and those unafilicted with any personal deformity. The services of these five millions of first-rate men, if they were engaged in the pursuits of peace instead 'of those of war, ought to be worth say a thousand dollars a year apiece; that is to say, Eve thousand millions a year are lost to the general hadustry and prosperity of Europe, through the engagement of these mon in military service. This amount, or some thing near to it, has to bo raised from the in dustry of the rest of the people, to clothe, arm, feed and maintain those five millions, more or less, who are prevented from being Industrious citizens, and compelled to be ex pensive soldiers or sailors. All this in a time of peace. In case of war, provision is made by which the effective force of the armies and navies of Europe may be speedily doubled, or even trebled. But it is the peace establishment of the various gov ernments to which this article refers. In the Unitedlitates where, although the population Is much less, the area of territory is about as large as that of Europe,and the external fron tier to be defended is much larger, we regard a standing army of fifty thousand men as something very large, and we consider the pay of these fifty thousand able-bodied men a very heavy burden ; while we also consider the loss of the labor of their hands in peace- NI industry as a serious grievance, only to be 'compensated for by the security they give to the forty millions of people that the Govern ment does not require for military service. But when the fact is presented that Europe uses, in time of peace, five millions of men to do the work-for which we grudge fifty thou sand men, is it any wonder mat the United states of America are regarded as a refuge,an asylum and a home for the young men of Europe ? Is it any wonder that fathers and mothers break up their old home-ties and emi grate to America, where their sons can be tree men, without any danger of the fatal conscription, which may compel them to risk their lives, not for the sake of - a principle, but for the sake of a dynasty? Americans who have traveled deliberately through the rural parts of Germany,-France, and other continental countries, have been struck with the scarcity of young men. The Harms and vineyards are chiefly managed by old men, women and children. The reason is that the able-bodied men are in the armies of the Emperor, the King, the Queen or the Duke. The property, the labor and the in come of these men unlit for military duty, and of these women and children, are taxed heavily, so that the governments can pay for the support of the able-bodied husbands and sons that the conscription wrests from them. This is, after all, the most monstrous feature of the despotism of Europe. Even in time of peace,it deprives each country of a large per centage of its beat vigor, physical and mental. In time of war it doubles this deprivation; not in order that the liberties of the masses may be increased, but that the sovereign may be secured in his power to oppress them still further, and to oppress their posterity in all future generations. The new army bill, which the French Em peror has just made hiaip dant legislature adopt increases the proportion of men liable to con scription very considerably. It is felt as a grievous oppression in every part of France, but especially in the rural portions. The "Emperor has done nothing bolder and more dangerous than making this increase of his army in a time of peace, and when he is con stantly reiterating his cries that the peace shall not be broken. The French people may be made to endure the new oppression; but there are millions that would rise to cast it WY, were there a worthy and wise leader, who could promise them security and free dom. There must be many men in Prance, and in other - countries of Europe, too, - that are now asking, themselves, what is all' this Military service and this cruel social oppres eon worth? Does it pay to live in such a country?- —Does it pay to die for such a country ? Would it not be a much better thing to sell off all real property, pack up and migrate to America ? There, there is no king, no dynasty, no conscrip tion. An honest, bard-working man can there be a free and independent citizen, and, now that the one conscription is over, which was demanded by an infamous rebellion that can never be repeated, there can be no more danger that the young, vigorous and useful members of a family will be torn from it. Such facts and reflections are weakening Europe aLd strengthening America. The vigor .and intelligence of the old world are coming to the new, as the only place of refuge and of hope. The European peace cstahliEbment is driving them away, for it gives them some idea of the terrors of the war estsbliehment that seems likely to be culled for before a great while. PA UP 0 I G POWER. The action o 1 the Court of Quarter Sessions, rin its address to the. Grand Jury yesterday, on the subject of the pardoning power, has naturally attracted much attention. The rate 401 the ease L is bridly this : Governor Geary, in his recent message, discusses the oul;jtct of pardonq, anti defendatheExecative _idepartment from ..the_ misrepresentations . valich are E 0 commonly made, as V.) its ex- ereite of Ike pardoning power. Ile refers to Abe clamors that are often raised over cases of pardon w.bielt have really never been brought kforeliJ9 Pyvernor at till. He ex plains tii/t (his lojurioits voibmolerstanding arises from the fact that the Gmrt of cra ter Hestions iu Philadelrld ► exereiies the fowtr to "recomider, remit and chtuge , fo .ltacts t weilte and mouths after their de -9:( !icily," awl, 49 s coinwipti.nce, the public adz d is confuted with the largo num °kr of :clawed climb/01s, all of Whom are supposed to have been pardoned by the Governor. Governor Geary states that "as many convicts were thus liberated from the Moyamensing jail as were pardoned by him from all the prisons in the Commonwealth" during the last year. He points out that the right to reduce or remit sentences carries with it also the dangerous power to increase them, and furthermore, that if it be lawful for the judge of one court thus to wield the pardoning power, it should extend to all judges of all courts, which 'would certainly result in confusion and abuse. The Gover nor's language throughout is calm, dignified and unexceptionable. Without attempting an opinion on the law of this important subject, the manner of the Court's reply is a proper subject of comment. Its tone indicates much feeling, and,in its per sonal allusions to the Governor, is not charac terized by that official courtesy which habit ually marks the utterances of this eminent body of jurists. There is an extreme severity In the language, and in one or two cases even the use of insinuations as to the official integ rity of Governor Geary, which will be read with much regret. The Court regards the Governor's allusion to this subject—an allu sion clearly made by way of self-defence—as an attempt "to intermeddle with a co-ordinate department of the Government." It speaks of it as "unseemly as it was unwise, to ar raign the Judges of this Court." It charges him with -- a wilful-mis-statement of the case. And, finally, it broadly implies that the poor, the helpless or the inno cent, seeking the remission of judicial sentence, cannot gain access to the Executive chamber.at Harrisburg, unless they, are able, to incur the expense of employing a pardon broker. Surely this is a far graver arraign ment of a co-ordinate branch of the gov ernment than that, of which the Court com plains. The Court passes on to the ihsv of the case and explains to the Grand Jury the legal grounds upon which the usage complained of by the Governor is based. It cites the precedents of former judges and courts, and argues the necessity which is held to exist for the exercise of a revisory power in case§ where aqule to reconsider has been entered at the term at which the sentence was imposed. It asserts, what is' un doubtedly true, that this power, which is, to all intents and purposes, a pardoning power, "has never' been used but for the cor rection of errors in our judgment, or in relief of suffering, lessening punishment, never to increase." Finally it declares its readiness to submit the case to the Supreme Court for deci sion,and makes a special case for that purpose by discharging two convicts on the first of February next, who were sentenced, last July, to twelve months' imprisonment. This is undoubtedly the. proper way . - to-settle this - important practical question. The only mat ter of regret is that it could not have been arrived at without the degree of personal and professional feeling which is so apparent in the address of the Court to the Grand Jury. SHAKESPEARE IN CONGRESS. Wendell Phillips fell to cursing Benjamin Franklin the other day because he taught the American people economy, and so led the Fortieth Congress into the horrible absurdity of discussing, mere finance, two-penny questions about our trifling national debt, and debating such childish nonsense as cur rency and trade, instead of re-instating Mr. Stanton. Wendell discharged his• mighty malediction at the most untimely mr , inent when Congress was just doing what he was cursing them for not doing, and it is to be hoped that he will be comforted, not only by Mr. Stanton's reinstatement, but by the decidedly poetical turn which the debates in Cengress are taking. Twice in a single session, was Shakespeare introduced, on the floor of the House yesterday;, once in the midst of a 'debate on the most un-Shakespearean su'lject of land grants in lowa, and once in the sharp passage of wits between Messrs. Bingham and Eld ridge. Mr. Washburne trotted in the old, familiar quotation, misquoted as usual, "Shako not thy gory locks at me, &c.," and Mr. Bingham laid himself open to the only fair thrust that his adversary succeeded in giving him, by saying that "Shakespeare gave a fellow forty minutes to girdle the earth." Eldridge was quick enough to retort, "Yes, but I don't want you to go all around the world in, giving me-an. answer." The point was well taken. The session was decidedly a lively, one, and the sharp encounter betwep Bingham and Eldridge ap pears to have infected even the reporters, and they give the result of each round with the particularity of a prize-fight. Mr. Bingham, except in his Shakesporean essay, had unquestionably the upper hand in the fray. Mr. Eldridge's extreme • aversion to having Mr. Bingham talk about treason, in such plain language was a significant indica tion of the temper of the Democratic party, and betrayed its'sympathy with the spirit of the rebellion more pointedly than a set speech in favor of the rebellion would have &me. In Select Council, yesterday, Mr. Page offered the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted: Resolved, By the Select and Common Councils of the city of l'hiladelphia. That the City Solicitor be instructed to 'ate such en pa us may be neces sary to prevent pereons from interfering with and obstructing the public highway by cutting ice on the river Schuylkill, above the data., . The imminent probability is that if the City Solicitor would try the experiment of en joining the ice-cutters,be would fail of Occoin plishing his purpose by an appeal to the Su preme Court. The principle involved was very clearly laid down in the mire of the City against the old District of Spring Garden, which was decided in the Supreme Court a number of years ago. The authorities of -Spring -Garden bad determined-to-erect water works on the spot where they 'are . now in opt.ration. The City made an application to , the Supreme Court for, au iejtniction to re strain Spring Garden from proceeding with 'tire work. In the course of the argument it via; urged, upon behalf of the City, that the Act of the Legislature, Lich authorized the construction of a dun at Fairmount, gave the City the control of the river above it and that St was an inve.4lln of its rights for other mattes or corporations to draw I(1 the water thus dammed up. Tae Corot, in its decision, lid{ 1 that the water onuiDg the liver was the free gift of God to THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.---PHILADETIPPITA, FP 1 IV, JANUARY 17, 18CF all his creatures'alike, and that no law could confer a monopoly of it. The City had dammed the river for its own convenience,and it had the right to use the water procured in this way; but the building of this dam did not disturb the rights of those who lived north of Fairmount, and every human being had the right to use the water. If a man or a corpo ration bad a right to take it from the river by the bucketfull, ho or it had a right to pump It. So the City was defeated, and Spring Garden built its - Water works. The fact of water being congealed into ice certainly does not make it any less the gift of God to man, and if all men enjoy the right of bailing it out with buckets or pumping it into reser voirs, they u;inly have an equal right to cut it with sa : and axes and' store it in ice houses for future use. Ice has become searcely-a less important article of use than water itself. In the summer months it con duces very largely to health and comfort, and as a mere question of ,utility, well-stocked ice-houses would carry the day against the skating interests of the community. Hap pily, the world is large enough for both skater and ice-cutter, and with proper re strictions and regulations the lover of the popular sport_pould enjoy his gyrations while the ice-cutter could, undisturbed, procure his gelid commodity. Col. Page's resolution is too sweeping. It will fail of its object and the interests of humanity demand that it should fail. LIPPINCOTT'S NIACUIRINE FOR FEB.. The second number of the new Philadelphia Magazine is now issued. Mrs. Davis's novel, /'‘Dallas Galbraith," advances well, the story _and the characters developing, and the promise of the opening chapters being well fulfilled. A short story, "Love on the Ohio," makes good use of not very novel incidents, the clever style redeem ing the common-place ideas. The first letter of the London correspondent—understood to be Louis Blanc—discusses the Roman and the Fe nian questions ably. General Read gives a second and concluding paper on "The Old Slate-Roof House," which is well written and full of very in ten sting facts. An article on '•ltistori as Marie Antoinette," apparently Dy Miss Kate Field, will be read with especial pleasure by the admirers of the great actress. There is a pleasant article on the late Fitz-Greene Balleek. 'Life and its Enigmas," "Alaska" and "The National Finan ces' are the several titles of well-considered articles. There are three short poems of merit. but thus far poetry is not the forte of Lippincott. The editor's "Monthly Gossip" is better than last month, and the literary notices are good. Sale Of.
