IS CHAOS COMING ?
It will be « dreadful thing for future genera
tions if the theory should be true that the
world is gradually getting smoother in its
surface; that the little protuberances of the
Himalayas, the Rocky Mountains, the Cor
dilleras and the Alps, should be slowly but
surely wasting away; that the small con
cavities of the Atlantic and' the Pacific should
be filling up, and that the continents and
seas, melting into one another, shall at last
resolve this revolving globe into a vast mud
ball, symmetrically spherical, but very un
picturesque. In the gradual process of as
similating land and sea, roads over moun
tains will approach and at last attain a level;
ocean voyages will be shortened and at last
dispensed with; a transitionary amphibious
condition will be assigned to human and
other creatures, and finally they will have to
be either land creatures or water creatures,
according as land or water prevails in the
final settlement.
That the earth has undergone changes in
the course of many thousands of years is not
to he questioned. 'Noah’s flood was only one
of perhaps many phenomena that have been
working on the surface, against chemical
and other convulsions beneath the surface, to
bring to aperfectfy round, homogeneous ball
this little lump that perambulates a small or
bit in the universe under the name of Tellus,
or Terra, or the world, or the globe, or per
haps under scores of other titles among the
astronomical observers in those other little
lumps that we call after Jupiter, Saturn, Mer
cury, Venus, and the various fanciful crea
tures that were believed to be deities by an
insignificant people, in an insignificant terri
tory, during an insignificant period of the in
significant history of the very insignificant

In far, very remote ages, long preceding
the earliest traditions of China or

The storms and earthquakes of the- Carib
bean sea have lately been dealing roughly
with some fine and fertile islands. One of
them was submerged entirely jfor a while by
• high tide that, fortunately, rose only in the
-brain of a remarkable cable reporter of "the
New York Herald. But Bt. Croix and Bt.
Thomas were really pretty nearly engulphed.
JBt, Thomas was saved solely by the diplo
maty.hf Secretary Seward, who determined
that it should be one of “the bulwarks of the j
United States,” and bargained to annex it with
a few of the odd millions, that are lying loose
in the Treasury. Here, perhaps, is the secret
of saving Mother Earth from the dissolution
which old age and continual revolving seem
to be bringing on her: To preserve cataracts,
mountains, volcanoes, islands and continents
in iheir'integrity,they must be annexed to the
United States. Niagara will not be secure till
we get possession of the other side of the
river. Vesuvius ought to be attended to at
once by Admiral Farragut„who, fortunately,
happens now to be at Naples. The "West
India Islands must be anchored to the conti
nent as St, Thomas has been; and so, by de
grees, under the wise guidance of Secretary
Seward, 1 wb can annex ‘‘all the world and the
rest of mankind,” that poor old Zach spoke
of in his most important public document.
Make all the world the United States, and
then we can preserve things in their norms*
state by acts of Congress, appropriations and
i government contracts. Unless wc dosome
| tbiDg of this kind we, or some of our suc-
I cessors, will have to cry, “Chaos has come
! again!”
THE aiWJIAJI H4l* TOWER,
The scheme for building a church in Lon
don for the Rev. Newman Hall, which was
exposed by tbe journals of this city, a couple
of months ago, has been revived in New
York, and an eloquent appeal has been put
forth, asking funds for the erection of an In
ternational Church, in commemoration of
the triumph of frcedotri’in the United States.
This appeal has the regular signatures of the
New York philanthropic corps: Henry Ward
Beecher, Theodore L. Cuyler, Howard
Crosby, John Cotton Smith, Stephen H.
Tyng, Jr., Theodore Tilton and the other
gentlemen who always go in for whatever is
irregular and out of the ordinary way.
Like the famous “Declaration” of a portion
of the Low Church Episcopalians, or the
Gettysburg Asylum scheme, the Newman
Hall manifesto - has been considerably modi
fied to suit the New York market in parti
cular, and. public opinion generally. It is no
longer a Lincoln Monument in the shape of a
tower to Mr. Hall’s new church. The ab
surdity of that appeal was so clearly pointed
out, that the form of the thing has been some
what altered. With our own Lincoln Monu
ments yet unbuilt, and the Alabama claims
yet unpaid, the idea of sending money to
England to put up a tower to Abraham Lin
coln’s memory on a particular church, was
too palpably inconsistent to meet with much
ihvor. The plan remains the same, but it is
now gilded to catch contributions, by divest
ing its personal character and presenting
it as an international commemoration of the
triumph of freedom in the United States.
But this scheme is open to the same broad
objections as before. The Rev. Newman-
Hall is an eminent and popular divine of
London, and, during his recent tour in this
country, made hosts of friends and admirers,
both by his eloquent sermens and the sym
pathy which he so freely expressed for the
cause of the American Union. But why Mr.
COH I’OIUI'IOVN.
A pel, theme with political oratorical dema
: gogucs, damages-seeking attornios and sensa
■! tional newspaper writers, ib corporations. The
• political orator denounces all corporations as
monopolies that are Buhvcfsive of vue’righfe'
of the people and dangerous to public liberty;
the lawyer, in au outburst of zeal in the in-
terest of his client’s pocket, gets off with
withering effect the well-worn axiom, that
"corporations have no bodies to be kicked
nor eouls to be saved'.;” and- the sensational
newspaper writer denounces all corporations
as "greedy," "soulless,” "rapacious” and
"dangerous.” There are corporations, as
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN PHILADELPHIA, MON DAY, FEBRU
there are individuals, that arc liable to these
charges ; but how senseless is this wholesale
denunciation of corporations ini the mass.
Webster defines the word corporation (in this
connection) to mean “a body politic or cor
porate, formed and authorized by law to act ns
a single person; a.sbciety having the capacity
of transacting business as an individual;” or,
in other words, an . association of
energies, capital’ and intelligence,
for the promotion of ;a common good, and
for the accomplishment of desirable ends
that could never be accomplished by in
dividual means or individual exertions. With
out corporations our great cities would be
towns, our towns would be villages, and all
through the vast West, where now there are
scattered thousands of villages and tens of
thousands of fertile farms, there would be a
wilderness. Long lines of railroads, that
could never be constructed by private enter
prise, woidd not be carrying the produce of
the teeming West to the manufacturing and
commercial Eaßt and taking back in return
the supplies for the husbandman of the in
terior States, but for corporations; nor would
the iron rails that now almost reach to the sum
mit of the Sierra Nevada be pushing towards
the setting sun in the prosecution of the great
work of linking together the two great
oceans that wash the opposite shores of the
continent.
Without corporations the coal of our own
State, the gold of California, the lead ol Il
linois, the iron of Missouri and the copper of
Lake Superior would lie useless in their
native mines, and mankind would be none
the better for their existence. Without cor
porations we would be almost without com
merce; there would be no great lines of tele
graph to span continents and to bring San
Francisco and St. Petersburg almost within
speaking distance of each other; the locomo
tive would rust out and the rattling stage and
the sluggish Conestoga wagon would take its
place; the great agencies which now instruct,
stimulate and enlighten the human mind
would languish and die out in the general re--
trogade, and the world would drift backward
to the condition from, which it was brought
by the discovery of the art of printing, the
invention of machinery and the accomplish
ing of great works by the association of time,
energies, intelligence and capital;
Without corporations the wealthy owner of
ships and houses might be beggared at any
moment, because there would be no insurers
to divide his loss among thousands; while no
man could secure comfort or competence for
his family in the event of his own sudden
taking oft, for there would be no life insu
rance companies. Without corporations
there could be no moneyed institutions to
prevent or relieve commercial crises, and but
little commerce to be disturbed by panics.
Corporations illustrate civilization, the living
together of men in prosperous communities,
and the association of men and means for the
promotion of a common good. The aboli
tion of all corporations would imply the re
lapse of mankind into barbarism, the break
ing up of communities, the growth of an
individuality of exertion and resource, which
would finally tend to the jealous conflict of
tribe against tribe and family against family*
If these violent denouncers of corporations,
could have the materials of which corpora
tions are composed brought prominently for
ward along with their denunciations, the ef
fect of the latter would be badly damaged-
Thoughtful, active business men, who invest
their'capital in the pursuit of what they be
lieve to be mutually advantageous for them
selves and the community; rqtjred business
men who invest their savings in what
promises to yield them a good returA, and
widows and orphans whose means are placed
where they can at once serve a public and a
private good—these are the components of
very many of the “greedy,” “soulless,” “ra-
I pacious” ebrporations that have neither “souls
j to be saved nor bodies to be kicked.”
! There are bad corporations and corpora
tions that are formed for dishonest and im
proper purposes. So there are bad men, or
there would be no need of criminal courts
and prisons. But it is as wicked and foolish
to decry and create prejudice against all cor
porations because some men combine to
gether for evil purposes, as it would be
absurd and unjust to stigmatize and dishonor
all members of the human family because
there are swindlers, thieves and murderers
out of the penitentiary,
The Midnight Mail.— I Thanks to the exer
tions of Postmaster Bingham and Representative
O’Neill, arrangements have been made by which
a mail will, on and after to-day, leave New York
at midnight, reaching Wcßt Philadelphia at 5.20

and New York mail, and will afford a very great
business facility to the merchants of Philadel

both showed their usual promptness and atten
tion to Philadelphia interests in securing the re
sumption of tills important mail communication.

Fom iu'ss Moxeoe, Feb. I—A fire broke oat
in Norfolk about balf-past 3 o’clock, this morn

timore. The building was occupied by Messrs.
Storm, Beard «fc Roper, for the manufacture of
staves and barrels. There was a watchman on

o’clock this morning he was called off by some
parties stealing wood in the back part of ihe lot,
and upon returning, found that the fire had
broken out In the second store of the building.
The btcain engine on the premises was kept In
condition to attach and .work the hose at any
moment, but so rapidly did the flames spread
that the building with till Its contents was con
sumed before they could be checked. The build
ing was valued at £13,000 and, was Insured for
$B,OOO.
Messrs. Storm, Beard A Co. were insured for
$20,000, and their loss Is raid to reach about $50,-

work of an incendiary.
The adjoining building, owned and occupied by
Kimberly Brothers as a wholesale grocery, sus
tained Salnage to the amount of ten or twelve
thousand dollars, which, however, is covered by
insurance. .The burning of this factory will throw

HANCOCK AjSHINING EXCEPTION
GRANT THE WORST.OF ALL,
A Tulle with the President.
13pecl&l .Deep&tch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletln.l
Wasihsgton, Feb. 3. The President ex
pressed, in very decided terms, last night, to
your correspondent, who had an interview with
him, his Intention to send to the Senate to-day
or to-morrow, a, name in place of Commissioner
Rollins. He staled that he was satisfied that Com
missioner Rollins had become corrupted, and was
resorting to corrupt means to retain his office,and
exacting money from revenue officials to assist the
Radicals the approaching election in
N. Hampshire. Who will be nominated in place o*
Mr. Rollins is not yet known. It transpires tha.
instead of recommending the removal of one hnn
dred and nineteen collectors and assessors as
charged by the President, a few days since, Mr.
Rollins, during 1867, made no recommendations
fOr removals whatever. Every one. of these re
movals was made upon the sole recommends"
tion of the Secretary of the Treasury, while twenty
removals admitted to have been made by the
President, were direct removals without consul
tation with either Mr. Rollins or the Secretary
oftiie Treasury. In reply to the question of
your correspondent as to what course he would
lake in ease the Senate refused to take any action
in the nomination made in place of Mr. Rollins
but would lay the nomination on the table, the
President 6aid he should probably then be com
pelled to make a direct removal of Mr. Rollinsi
although this would be ignoring the Tenure of
Office law, and would undoubtedly agitate the
impeachment question again. -
He said the time had arrived when he was
. cither compelled to ignore the . Constitution itself,
or au act of Congress, dearly unconstitutional,
and it was not his purpose to hesitate, although
impeachment be threatened.
In regard to the statements made, as coming'
from him, on the settlement of the Alabama
claims at once, or of forcing Great Britain
into war, he said they were unautho
rized, and until he saw what authority
Mr. Edward Thornton, the new English
Minister, was vested withby his Governmen
on Ibis question, it would be impolitic for him
(the President) to make such statements, in
volving as they did questions of the highest and
grayest importance.
The new Minister would be presented to him
on Tuesday, he said, and after this was done, his
policy could be more-clearly told.
He denounced bitterly the new Reconstruction
bill before Congress, but with a sarcastic smile
said it would be only in efleetdaking the power
now in the hands of the five military despots (ex
cepting Gen. Hancock, who had proved himself
true to the Constitution) and placing it in the
hands of one military despot, who conld rul« the
nation with niore severity than any sovereign in
all Europe.
Bcsisrnntion of minister {Adams,
[Sreclai Deepatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. 1
Washington, February it.—There is a well
authenticated rumor allo'at here to-day that the
resignation of Charles Francis Adams. Minister
to the Court of. St. James, has been received at
the- State Department. Upon inquiry there
Secretary Seward neither affirms nor denies the
truth of it. Hence it is supposed to be true, or
he would authorize its contradiction.
The Tobacco Tax*
(Bpecial Dc-pjiatrh to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.]
Washington, Feb. 3.— The representatives of
the tobacco trade, at their recent convention in
this city, adopted a series of resolutions, amenda
tory of the present Internal Revenue law, for the
consideration of the Ways and Means Com
mittee. They ask that the tax upon every grade
and description of chewing tobacco and snuff be
fixed at 16 cents per pound, instead of 40 cents,
which is the present rate, and upon all smoking
tobacco,, cigars excepted, at 8 cents per pound,
instead of the Dregent tax, which is sixteen cents
per pound. They also adopted a resolution pro
viding that all frauds perpetrated upon the In
ternal Revenue Department, either by officials or
any other persons, be punished with imprison
ment and fine, and counterfeiting of stamps to
be regarded in law as an offence, equal to coun
terfeiting Government money,and to be similarly
punished.

l From to-day’s Herald.]
Feb. 2d.—Tbc (told market was steady and quiatdunnfj
tbc past week, thtf fluctuations having Dees limited to 1 %
per cent—namely, from \\\% to 14G.\„ with the closing
transaction* at MO’.ftgMq?,;. Coin wa< hi Kuperabundvnt
supply, owing to the light "abort” .Interest outstanding,
and loans were made at rates varying from three to seven
per cent for’earrying. The demand for customs duties
wap a little larger than muni of late, the receipts at the
port for the week having bcon $2,078,486; but the
export of specie and bullion was remarkably small—
namely, sl6h,luo, The advance in the rates of foreign ex
change, however. i« likely to lead, to renewed shipment*.
One of the principal causes of the great firmness of tbc
market is the large falling off in the Internal revenue re
ceipts, and owing to the depressed condition
of trader last year the declino is likely to be
come still more marked. The income tax receipts
in particular will show a heavy .decrease, and it is not
improbable that the expenditures of the govern
ment will exceed itft income unless the internal taxes are
more efficiently collected and a stop is put to whisky and
other frauds. The contingencies growing out of the re
construction policy of Congress are being guarded against
by the foreign bankers, who are the largest holders of
gold, and an impression very generally prevails that the
tendency of the premium ia upward under the existing
and prospective condition of financial, commercial and
political affairs. . , ,
Government securities, after advancing sharply at the
beginning of the week, reacted, under sales of specula
tive lots to realize profits, P«r cent The market
remained unsettled for two or three days, but on Friday
and Saturday the speculative and investment demand
quickened; and as the amount offering was very limited
prices recovered nearly the whole of the declino, aed
at the close on Saturday their tendency was
strongly upward. The fact that money can be borrowed
to any extent on theso securities at four per cent., while
five-twenties yield six per centtin gold, is stimulating
the speculative demand for them, and at the same time
the banks and other corporations are buyers for the sake
of finding erfiplofrnent for their surplus fund*.
Although,there!ore,* quotations have advanced considera
bly'during tbe past month, all the indications
arc in favor of further material improvement. The
firmneiß of the gold premium and of the market for
five-twenties abroad is creating a demand for the bonds
of 1862 and the old issue of 1865 for shipment There has
been of late more speculative animation on the London
Stock Exchange than for many months past ani in view
of this and tbe fact that money is a drug in Lombard
street atyai per cent per annum it would not ba sur
prising if a decided advance took place in our securities
held abroad. There is a difference of about one and a
half per cent, in price betweemthc bonds of 1862 and 1865
but tnerc is no good reason for\lhU, and before long the
two will doubtless be equalized. N. ,
The week opened on a very buoyant stock
market with Eric leading tbe upward mevejuent, sales
having been made as high -at 7but a reaction fob
lowed, and special efforts were directed to the ctepre.*:-
sionof Erie, which declined at one time, to 73J3<«r>3?«.
False rumors of an .issue of new stock were invented
and circulated by tbe leading bears m tho stock for the
—*in«e of “ ’ "item*'' ‘ J -uid holders into selling &n«^

is their deliberate design, atd this in technically .called
“milking the street;” but swindling the etreet would be «
more fitting terra to de-criho the operation by. The head
and front of this movement was tue speculative director of
the company whose efforts to depreciate the value
of its stock furnish a commentary on railway man
agement which mav be studied by (stockholders
with profit. But for the .waste and corruption—
the “stealings.” in the Erie management,

thia'greitf property will be wrested from the hands of Uie
present managers. The transactions in Erie wen* very
heavy. and the speculative director is understood to have
bought largely, under cover of bis hammering opora
tions. The probability is that the stock will tow* obey
the natural tendency of the market, as it is evident that

[From to-day’a Times.}
Fru. I.—'The trade prospect* and financial situation

which are from source* which we believe to be trait

contraction of greenback?, and on the public debt, will he

the greatest danger of inflation and hasty option on the
Fublic Debt and National Banking ceeraed to be appre

sense of the motives to and bearing of all such schemes
as the 5-20’ propoiition of Mr. Pendle
ton and the Greenback movement of Hr.
Randall to break down the National Bank Cir
culation. As Democratic party experiments these may
be well enough in their place. We nave no quarrel witli
Mr. Pendleton or Mr. Randall, bnt as neither mean good
to the great Wav Debt of the Government, which the Re
publican majority are as solemnly bound to protect aa
they are to pension the widows and orphans of
our dead soldiers and living but maimed be
roes of the war, it is to lie hoped that in the ecqnel
the followers of the?© gentlemen will be found
exclusively on the Democratic aide. They mean quite as
little good to the true office and high credit of our Green
back 1 egal-tender Circulation. The minimum, if not the
maximum, of this circulation, free of interest, has just
been fixed by Congress at 000.000, and this sum the
country will take care or whether under the sus

it likely to be, demanded by the requirements of
trade and banking; les? than thb, with $8U, 000,000 or

convenient and Eiiecessful return to Specie payments by
the Treasury end the National Banks (the latter holding
Greenbacks demnndablefor Gold at the Treasury), when
ever, by ihe reconstruction and „ quiet of the Southern
States and the ndjustnuut ot the questions of
Taxation and Expenditure, tho country is bo
lieved to be in a condition to seriously consider
this question. It? immediate c iscussion, so far aa looking
to or miming, or even safely predicting, a day certain,
r. i.-nis to be by common consent quieted. It i« proper, for
tin? successful resumption That it should he eo.apd that tho
question should not be suffered to enter Into the next Pre
sidential election as a Republican issue, any more than the
iullntion of Greenbacks either to Pay oil, in utter violation
of all good faith, the 5-20 bonus not due tint* 118*2-87
a* proposed by Pendleton, or to break down the National
Banks, under the shallow pretext of saving a few mil
lions of interest on the Public Stocks pledged for their
circulation, as proposed by KandalL Either would utterly,
demoralize our Legal-tender Greenbacks, and render a
reduction of the premium on Gold impossible. tiithor
would cripple, if not wholly destroy, tne credit of the
.t'uited States, for the prosecution of the future defence
of tho nation against domestic revolt or foreign ag-.
' gr*-*rion.
Witli our present volume of Greenbacks as fixed by the
act of Congress, which has just become a law. we confess
we sec no necessity or call for such discussions, aa the
hmpthy letter cf the I'resldent of one of our large Banks,
who bus been persistent as well as consistent in hia hos
tility to Greenbacks from the start, to Mr. John V. L,
Pruyn, Democratic member of Congress for the Albany
T istriej. to emphatically indorsed by the Journal of Cbm
vwree. We have no belief that Congress will touch the Le
gal tender Act of February 25th,1862,and therefore deem it
buperfluouß to traverse tho general views or the financial
rpiM. ilic of this letter to legalize contracts in Gold ex
clusively payable in Gold. There is no necessity and no
Sopular call for tmeh legislation either for present conff
cnce or convenience, or in order to arrive at the
Specie standard, whenever the condition of the Treas
ury, I the political situation, and the ability of the
couofnr to make it successful, shall seem to justify re
sumption. ,
Tho Public I r tmds, Gold hearing, are increasing in cre
dit and advancing in price, in the firm belief tnat’Con
greets will do nothing to impair tho faith of the Govern
ment pledged to their payment. They are further
strengthened by the opinion that tho Committee of \\ ays
and Means of the House and the Finance Committee
of the Senate, in adjusting tho minimum of tax
ation and the maximum of expenditure, will pro
vide, at an early day, for ftopping the issue of
Gild-bearing Ktocku at two thousand millions of
dollars. Wo hope the Secretary of .the Treasury himself
will favor this limit. It will involve about as much Gold
interest per annum out of the Customs Revenue aa ought
to be pledged Jor Home veers to come—and Congress
should hesitate to make it larger at any time—to tout

miiiiis deficient. Cong*?? could readily provide the
remedy in some form «n short-dato obligation, interest
and principal payable iitf currency. Tho cost of buying
