THE GETTIVISBURG LOMAT.
We published yesterday the defence of the
.analager of the Gettysburg Asylum Scheme,
in order that our readers might see on what
it has been sought to be sustained. The domi
ment is a marvel of injured innocence. It is
apparently the production of some modern
Talleyrand, who regards language as designed
to conceal our thoughts. With an appearance
of the most downright denials of the charges
made against the Association, there is such
an interlarding of "buts" and "ifs" and
"probabliea". and "it is believed" and the like,
that it would not require even a second-rate
lawyer to „find the way to a retreat frbm
the whole .assumed position with flying
colors. "
The two-great points of the "Defence" are
the immaculate patriotism of the scheme and
the gushing innocence of its projectors. It
informs Congress that the "ENTIRE NET PRO
cEEDEr are to be devoted to the maimed and
(rippled veterans of the war; but it does not
dwell on the fact which comes out in the
minutes of the last meeting that the "Attor
neys-General" of , the concern had been or
dered to -,confess judgment to the Supreme
Court of 'Pennsylvania, under the uncom
promising pressure of the Attorney-General
ofthe State. Neither does it hint at the pre
cise method of book-keeping by which these
"net proceeds".are to be arrived at. It waxes
indignant hover the "ingratitude of the
Republic manifested in the futile effort to
make political capital," by which it means
the honest determination of , General Van
Wyck and Attorney-General Brewster and
the independent public journals to expose
what they believe to be a scheme which,
hoWever.it,may be conducted in the future,
was conceived in fraud, brought forth by
trickery, and prosecuted in open defiance of
the, laws.
But the gushing innocence of this "De
fence" is worthy of commendation. It ap
pears that "a mistake was made in at first
selecting men who had been tormerly con-
nected with the lottery business (but against
whom really there is no other charge
laid,) and who Are not believed to be
other than honest men." General Van
Wyck, unfortunately, states that France,
Egerton and , Dickinson were all in
the original scheme, long before the de
, monstsation was made upon the Pennsylva
nia Legislature, which makes the "mistake"
, rather an awkward one. No one ever charged
anything else against these persons but that
they were .well.known professional lottery
dealers, so that the "defence" on that point is
quitesratultous. But the Association was in
the scene condition of unsophisticated sim
plicity on other points also. The "Defence"
intimates that it .may have .been "the inno-
cent victim" of the owner of 'the $60,000
fanninliew York, which the •Congressional
report puts down at $13,000. It believes
that • General Van Wyck has been
much . gliscomtitted in his attack on
the Anderson diamonds, though it
does not gxplain precisely how. It says that
they .cost 'Mr. Anderson $200,000, which
proves nothing whatever, as he might have
been tholish enough to pay a million for
them, if he had it. It is evidently much sur-
prised that "the prejudice in. ecrlvin
loeal
-Uiee against lotteries" should have been
used against. the scheme, and. in short, as.
sume3 the general ground that .it has been
the victim of au, amount of malevolence, in
justice„ caprice and horrible malignity such
as ransiy: falls to the lot of the innocent of the
earth.
TheAmm and substance of all this is that
this tiettysburg scheme has been driven to a
4 , ornar and compelled to surrender. Attor
ney-Ckneral Brewster has insisted upon a total
rretrae Aim of its whole proceedings, and has
refused to entertain all propositions either
from its "Attorneys-General," or from any of
its representatives or agents, until it shall
hay, adtnowledged its past illegality
.and commenced iwsiness de ./louo.
t- 1 4 3
. ret'ent action, therefore, „ possesses
;no 5. merli. It has heen done under
. the pressure of absolute necessity
pknd , to save its charter from complete de
atrinetic n. Itscfuture course will be narrowly
tralachatl, and judged in the light of past ex
virien Do. If it can satisfy, the public that its
pi to .cia en are patriotic and not purely mereen
na it.pay succeed in gaining public cou
ld 'trace, .ari..d the end for which it was, nomi

It is t. Ilse that some more effective measures
should 1 1 4; taken to suppress the cruel prac
tices whit ih.are so painfully common in our
streets, ot ,he part of teamsters sad other
drivers. 'I lot Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to d i talimalc has done something in
the way of a Wakening public attention the
su id ect, and as been instrutneatal in causing
some arrests 'iansi an occasional conviction;
but the Society , e feebly organized and, under
its present man.sgement, is doing almost as
much to bring rtito cause into ridicule as to
promote its legitlintate purposes.
The worst and, most frequent .cases` of
ernelty to anirnais .occur .on those streets
where large ,uumbersof mule-teams are used
for hauling coal-trains, as on Bread and Wil
low streets, and for freight trains on Market
street. - neve tre -- -probabiy-fifteen= -hundred -

Au human form, whose chief delight Appears
to be to beat. and kkk and lash the over

sitilNua And toi)yatding compauies not
own thole tcaran,tnn the OuGinehal of hauling k
flawed out a lp the teanotere and t h c
ployers, so that there is no direct control ,
over them on the part of the owners of the
trains. But there should be some more
direct way of reaching this monstrous evil
than through the chance prosecutions of in
dividual c ases by the society now in existence.
The evil is such an evident one, and so shock
ing to the whole moral sense of the commu
nity, that it is felt to be a disgrace to the city
of Philadelphia which should no longer be
borne; and yet it will probably not be effectu
ally cured so long as the necessity remains
for hauling heavy trains long distances from
the points where the use of steam' terminates
to the various depots in the heart of the city.
The feeling is rapidly gaining ground that,
unless the public will consent to be outraged
by the constant scenes of brutal cruelty
which aro enacted on Broad •and Market and
Willow streets, either steam must come to
the depots, or the depots must go to the
steam. The prejudice against the use of pro
perly contrived dummy-engines is a shallow
and unreasonable one, and if it can be done
away, the evil of which we speak would al
most cease to exist. • Small dummy-engines,
moving quietly to and fro, upon
broad streets, would not be nearly so
dangerous to the general travel, and
certainly far less obiectionable to residents
on the line of the roads, than the
present system of teaming. Every train of
freight cars now occupies with its string of
muleS or horses, two or three times the space
which would be required by compact en
gines. The teams have no power to arrest a
train in motion, and the howling, and swear
ing teamsters fill the air with such loud
mouthed blasphemies, emphasized with sav
age blows and kicks, that the substitution of
the almost noiseless engine would be an in
describable relief. The former are certainly
far snore calculated to frighten passing ani
mals than the latter. Sooner or later, steam
will be applied to all heavy drafting, both on
common roads, and it in an indication ,
of a retrogressive spirit when we indulge the
prejudice which still so largely exists against
its use. •
But if the common prejudice is\such as to
preclude the substitution of steam for animal
power on our city streets, the question will
begin to be agitated whether the present an
tiquated system ought not to be abolished by
terminating the railroads outside the built
portions of the city. This plan is liable to
serious objections, and is accompanied with
great inconveniences to the business and trav
eling public. But almost anything would be
better than to continue to tolerate the scenes
of savage and wicked cruelty that are now
constantly witnessed upon the several linea
of railroad to which re,rerence has been
made.
Until some better relief can be obtained,
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
,Animals, instead of making itself ridiculous
by publishing silly tracts, must prosecute its
legitimate work faithfully and vigorously,
and the officers of the law must second their
efforts by all the means at their coriarna4,
and the community will appreciate their ac
Lion us tending to the public good and to tai:

A (wit?)
.(C•;to is reported by the cable
telegrams, as likely to take place in Portugal,
under the leadership of the Duke of Sal
danha. As to the nature of it, or the cause
of it, the public is not informed. Portugal is
at peace at home and with foreign powers;
but the finances are in a very bad state, and
the question of increased taxation has caused
much angry feeling between the government
and the people. A few days ago, the lower
chamber of the Cortes, which was hostile
to the ministerial projects, was disolved by
the King, and orders were issued for the elec
tion of deputies to a new chamber, to meet
in April.
The aged Duke of Sahlanha, no in his
eighty-second year, is, of course, in opposi
tion to the king's party, for he generally con
trives to be a leader of opposition. In his
long military and political career he has been
found, by turns, in almost every party or fac
tion. Re has, several times, by the aid of
the army, of 1112i4the was generalln-chief,
overthrown ministries. The last important
affair of the kind was during the minority of
the late king, Dom Pedro V., when he exe
cuted a coup <NM, overturned the ministry
and banished their leader, Costa-Cabral. Re
retained, power till ism, when the king,. at
-tiaininglbi -majority, Sheived - a - re Sped for
the Cortes which Saldanha did not - approve,
and he had to resign. He resigned also • his
place at the head of the army, and again put
himself at the head of the opposition. Since
thQ aucCl3,Siv:. of throne he
has again been placed at the head of the
army. But once more he appears to be a
leader of the opposition, and at an age when
most men would like to keep quiet he pro
poses a, coup d'dat.
One of the three Tooleyites who went on
to Washington the other day, and who in a
lit of generousi emotion tendered A. J. the
vote of PhilitilelphitrSt the next Prosideatill .
election, is out with a printed manifesto res
pecting the duties of the people. This Tooley
ite, with most Bunsbyish gravity, calls on
the people to put a stop to the carryings-on
of Congress, just as if Congress was not mule
up of the representatives of the people, and
as if these representatives were not carrying
out the wlshes of their constituents! Ac
cording to this heart-broken patriot, good
aiZella axe ns rare out of ex-rebeldom as the
right kind of people were scarce in England
in Jack Falstaff's time. In fact; he holds to
the opinion that there are not "three good
men • unkanged," and one of them
.is A. J.
and the othcx is W. Y. L. Possibly the
world could spare these exceptionals and

Missouri Contested Election Case.
The Whisky Ring
[Spada! Despatch to the Philadelphia hveniug Bulletin
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—The number of callers
at the White House to-day was very large, but a
large proportion were Western politicians, who
are urging upon the President the necessity of
making 4 number of changes In revenue officers.
The Whisky Ring has again appeared here in
full force, with the avowed object of get
ting their scheme through' Congress. They
now hope to succeed, in case the bill
appointing a special Committee to examine the
miens whiskey meters is passed, In getting men
who are connected with the "Ring" appointed by
the Secretary of the Treasury on this Commis
sion, in order that the best meter may not be
adopted, thus enabling them to continue
their swindling schemes as heretofore.
They buttonhole the members of the Committee
of Ways and Means at every opportunity offered,
and endeavor to maize them believe that
a more honest people are not to be found
than . those who are engaged in selling
whisky at less than the oost of the
tax. They spend considerable time in the offices
of the Washington correspondents of the news
papers 'of your city and other places, to enlighten
them upon the fact that it is their duty not to
mention in their despatches that the "Whisky
Ring" is active.

WASHINGTON, January 25th..—Hon. John Ito.

sitting member from Bt. Louis, Missouri, expects
to get his case before the attention of the Hone
during next week, and appears confident that

Congrel and .Retrenchment
repecial Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.
WasumoTosl, 25.—Taking the temper of
the House yesterday; as an index on the bill sus
pending the payment of all claims now pending
before the various departments of the govern
ment, it shows a decided opposition against' re
trenching on a large scale. Tho warmest advo
cates of retrenchment maintain that unless this
course be pursued it is useless to hope for a
very great reduction in the taxes. Among
those who believe it necessary for the interest
the country to pass auch a bill is Special Com
missioner Wells. He maintains that not only
twist payment on private claims be suspended,
but that the estimates for all the Dep)rtments
shoul be greatly cut down before ige people
can expect to see the heavy taxes now imposed
relieved to any very great extent. The Naval
Committee of the House Ints cut down the esti
mates for the Navy DepartMent for the coming
year from e 4 ,000,000 to a little over
4518,000,000. There is good authority, for
stating that should this amount be
allowed by the House, when the bill comes
before the Senate Naval Committee, it will be
subject to a still further reduction of four or five
million dollars, leaving it at about one-fourth
the amount asked for by the Secretary of the
Navy.
TM) Tax on. Tobacco.
(Special Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. .25.—The Committee of
Ways and Means have given their entire time
during the past three or four days to considering
what, changes, if any, should he made in tin,
clause taxing tobacco in its numerous forme.
This subject alone, it is learned, will occupy their
atttntlon for several days to come. It seems to
be the determintVion of the committee not to re
commend any change in the tax now imposed on
this article. The members of the committee
think that it will require fully a month yet before
they get entirely through with a revision of the
Revenue law.

"This if! one of the pleaeanteet novels we have read for
yeais. The scene is laid in Siena, which every rue who
has visited Italy will remember for' its wonderful eathc

liberty The story, however, is one of modern Italian
life. and the plot exhibits very unusual skill; the interest
Is gins at once, and continues breathleasly to-the close.
J he heroine, leninin, and her haughty rival are finely
delineated; en are the two physicians; so also the old
Marquis and the young lover. Ihe love scenes. for it is
emphaticelly a love story are drawn with &delicacy that
we do not often see in fiction. The country around tilena.
the desolate Marenuna on the coast, and the lonely mono.
tains, are depicted with wonderfully graphic power. We
recommend the novel to people of taste especially. Price,
In cloth, $2 P 1; In paper, $1 6d."--Peterson's tfctoufne.
"21r. Trollope again gives us one of hie novels of Italian
private life of the present day. The descriptions of the

desolate town of the Maremma—are wonderfully gra.
phic, and bear witness to their having been done from
the life by one cho hoe lived in the shades and loved
thorn. The scene in the great church of Savona is brought
vividly be fm c the reader, who will not easily "Make off

civic achievement to stand side by side in

DEPAItrmENT OP STATE, WitSiroarroN, Jan
uary 22, I.B6:l.—Gen at:a n ; I have had
the honor to receive Leutze's descrip
tive painting of the Alaska treaty, and the
letter in which you have so kindly presented it
to me. I pray you, gentlianen, to accept my
sincere thanks for this considerate and generona
gift. You' have rightly supposed that I
would highly appreelate it. I shall place
It its a national memorial by the aide of the
lamented - Cole:4 Magri - Mal picture, which was
Ordered and presented to me twenty-five years
ago (as a State memorial, by enlightened and
eminent statesmen, citizens of the city of New
York, to perpetuate the memory of a suecees
which the policy of material improvement then
achieved over groat obstacles and opposition, in
the enlargement and extension of the New York
canals and railroads. -
Leutze's painting has great merit, not merely
as a )york of art, but In other respects also. The
national transaction which it illustrates has not
yet passed out of the domain of doubt and de-.
bate. I must therefore speak with some reserve of
'the liistoriegl and political voice of the, work. I
trtist that - I may, however,' 'dwell without
'impropriety upon the instructive com
position. It will keep always before
me a mule in which two
. great and friendly
Powers then came together in the Department
of State whose dominions very nearly -touched
.each other, and extended around the northern
hemisphere. Their politicarinstitutions and tra
ditions were very divergent, while their close
proximity was seen to threaten that, sooner or
later they must fall into conflicts which would
disturb the peace of the world and hinder the pro
gress of civilization. They, therefore, thought
fully.ae d with mutual generosity,agreed upon and
drew through the middle of a common ocean
• . a new demarcation 'line which thus became a
harbinger at their eternal peace and' enduring
friendship. By a happy contrivance, the picture
preserves the personal and Individusi traits of
important public characters, but to me very fa- i
millar frit nits, who were associated in the trans
action--the President of the United States, under
ay hose authority it was conducted; the agents of
the United States and Russia, who were
himered with the negotiations • .and 'ex

Horst.—lmmediately after the reading of
the journal, the House went Into Committee of
the Whole on the state of the Union, Mr. Paine
(Wis.) in the chair, for general debate.
Mr. Sitgraves (N. J.) addressed the Committee,
prefacing bi 4 remarks that ho proposed to dis
cuss the state of the Union from the Christian
standpoint.
He denied that there was any atheism In ,the
Constitution; such an assertion was a foul libel
on the men who had framed it, for no sane man
could bean atheist among the fathers of the Re
public' an among their descendants there were In
fidels, but no atheists.
2,W2 5E01.068
He attributed the rebellion and its fruits to the
accursed spirit of Ltadicalism, which had been
allowed to enter the sacred portals of the Union,
and tempt the people to eat the forbidden fruit.
he result being sorrow and mourning, desola
tion and death. He declared that the Radicals
would . be held responsible for the blood of the
nation's eons.
Atouricata Ban_quet fist Me City of
[Front the Mexican Standard, Dec, NJ
On Christmas afternoon the Legion of Honor,
a body of Americangentlemen, Moat of whom
have occupied official positions, and who have
distintsuished themselves In the civil contest
which terminated in the United States in 1865,
but who, true to their love of republican institu
tions, came to Mexico and volunteered their ser
vices in the cause which was destined to ripe
monarchy from the continent, enjoyed a social
reunion on the occasion of a banquet tendered
them by a few American now sojourning in this
city : This was the first festive gathering of the
Legion since its tarry in Mexico, which has been
since July last.,
Col. Green, of the Legion, rising, said :
. Grissmairrss AND FELLOW SOLDIERS: On an
occasion'of this kind, when friends meet friends,
, words are inadequate to expresa the gratifica
tion to meet the gentlemen who join us in these
festivities upon a day whit% all nations regard as
a holiday : trusting that this may be one of the
many which each and all of ns present may enjoy,
and with feelings of heartfelt sincerity the Legion
of Honor wish for the liberal-minded gentlemen
who have this day invited us to join them in
their social circle, all the prosperity this world
can afford and many happy returns of the day.
General Strum next spoke as follows:
Gentlemen—l am exceedingly happy and proud
to meet on this occasion and on this day, far
away from our homes and loved ones, American
citizens and felloW-officers who, although having
but just finished the arduous and honorable task
of upholding the supremacy of law and the in
tegrity of our Union, did not rest content until
the insult was wiped out that was oftored to us
Americans by European powers, in attempting
to establish a Monarchy upon the rains of a sister
Republic, that they first outraged, at a time when
we on account! of our own internal troubles
were unable to aid her. You took no time
to return to your homes after the close
of our own war,to embrace your
families, but true to the American character and
American - principles, you offered your services
and your livesin defence of this government,thon
struggling for Its very existence, and side by side
with its native defenders• you helped to fight the
battiesof its second independence. Mexico owes
much to yon, and I have confidence that she will
give the lie to the slanders her enemies have so
industriously circulated, and will always remem
ber you as her friends and reward you for yoar
'services. Gentlemen, I propose, "3fesdeo, our
Sister Republic, may her - future be glorious, and
may she never' forget s , her only true friends, the
United States and her citizens."
Major McNulty, of the Legion, offered the
toast: "To our friends from home who have
'end us this banquet."
Jr. Skilton remarked: •
Gentleyacn—HaTing for several years been in
the armies of the United States, from which I
have but recently retired, and from professional
relations it having been my duty to become fa-
Millar with the sufferings which result, from bat
tle and from bravery, I toast: "The American
Soldier, be he from the North or the South; he
knows how to fight and tir suffer, and has the
most delicate apnreciallan of national gratitude."
Toasts were proposed by Captain McComb, of
New York; Captain Harley, of the Legion; Col
onel Gray, of Texas; Major Clark, and others.
The latter gave a rather humorous account of
his mental and physical tribulations on the occa
sion of his crossing the Rio Grande into Jfrxieo,
and after a tribute to republics joined in the
glass to the "Stars and Stripes." •
Capt. Burgess proposed "Juarez," whisk was
re eels ed with loud cheers, and all heartily joined
glasses.
"The Star Spangled Banner," "Hail Columbia,"
"Dixie," "Red, White and Blue," with full
choruses, were sung, antithe greatest enthusiasm
prevailed. At the early hour of 6;4 o'clock, after
wo and a half hours shars, the company dis
perm!, without an occurrence to mar the. joy of
the hour.
Orry lidourAmry.—The number of interments
in the city during the. week ending at noon to
day,was 252; against 256 the same period last
year. Of the whole number 130 were adults and
122 children,

Ball. The morning session• opened at 10;6"
o'clock, the-President, the Sarkent, in

consideration :
Reeolvcd, That while many events at the North and a
la rgeehare of the action of Congress may well encourage
us, the good ennee, manly independence, tend. self .e aspect
of the colored m ople of the South, with their courageous
siesertion and ace of their political richts, and slngulwly
clear comprehension of the nation's
need and situation,
give us good ground to hope that tan real toundatinua for
p. li n anent peace and outlining nationality aro securely
laid.
Resolved, 'That while we regard the refusal of the Re.
pi Reim party to impeach the President at a grave crime
ci mantled againrt the nation, we tee with profound
tisfaction the conregeom permanency of Congress In its

DzscOVERY OF AN ANCIENT CITAMIIER.—A dis
covery has lately been made In the commune of
Vouvray, France, of a subterranean chamber,
apparently of the time of the Roman conquest-
Tbfs chamber was filled with dust and atones,
from which have been taken many curious objects
—an axe of polished steel, pieces of bone. parts
of red vases, whose surface is carefully burnished
and decorated with elaborate designs, represent
ing birds, flowers and scenes of- sacrifice. Much
of this collection is made up of common pottery
of red and black, and most of it is of the latter
color; coins were found, and needles, bracelets
and other ornaments, besides a hundred pieces
of bream money of the ago and stamp of dif
ferent emperors, but principally of Marcus Aure
lius, Constantine, nearlyall in good preser
vation.
