The people of Pennsylvania are to be con gratulated upon tbe fact that the Legislature ■oflB6B has, thus far, been free front the scan dalousiMinuattansaiid open accusations of corruption that bare attended the Besaions of a number of laite’years. Therewas a wicked attempt at first 'to prevent an organization,. which, if it had been mficcessftil, mig&t have demoralized the as that of 1867 was, demoralized, fcy. the -successful trickery—to use a mild phrase—ofthe election of United States Senator.- E’ti the mere feet of the miserable feilure offthia last attempt is a sign that the tnfechicvooc maneuvering' that has succecded'at Hartisburg so often, and;that broughtwpon the'Ropubilcan party most of the obloquy that * caused their defeat last Oc tober, can no longer be sucoessfti. It la divery- good dad cfeeeriag sign that there fees been thus far, .this year, ho “Ring’’ at HassSShurg Of any importance or power. uny ctinriderable sntmber Of members tree course, for-thesakeof promot ing Cbiebelfisk views of wmbitions bnt unwor thy (politicians. But/tfesides this, there are! no vfch •corporationswanting to nccomplish or 'defeat* legislntiaijj hnd 'reddy. to pay for votes, as A rich aspirant for 1 .office .might do andhaS'dOKS informer.-years. Even if there* wore such,' and if '& strong and unscrupulous lobbywbre auppliedwtih unlimited funds, it is doUbtffe whether <heycould have any great SHceesaSfrith the ps^ent,Legislature. In'fact, tke medrl ers generally, especially those ofthe party in'-the majority,' have either a higher, sense of honesty than iis usual, or. they have, prof dd by thelessonsofilast year. At all events,'there is do such talk of corruptibility as there used to be... \ : i-: *. y ; T, ■ One most excefleut-sign'k that it has been resolved to adjourn the-session on the Mth of March, which 1b « 'month- earlier than the usuakdate, and a couple of months earlier than'the end of •some of the sessions. 'Censo rious pereons may .say thisis because there is nO targe expenditure of money to be nude by politicians 6c "corporations. Wo rqject this theory altogether, and express the belief that themajority -of members, of both,parties, are enperior to <the 'influences that have been 'paramount in 'former sessions; that they have a better apgoeoiation of their duties as sworn lsw-makerS’df * great comnionwealth; that they sinceoelydesire to retrench in every way possible, cmd'that they believe one of the best ways of retrenching, is to limit the session to e period flust-sufficient/for passing, after pro per consideration, the 'required appropria tion hills, 'and effecting such other legis lation es 'is indispensable. If this be the corieof theory, the. people of Pennsylvania have reason'to be congratulated that at last the timehasretamed when it is an honorable and reqrect&ble' thing to he a member of the Legislature,. aaEthat intelligent, honest citi zens, chosen, to'the office, may feel that they are not‘destined to consort with a bend of mercenary politi'jians. The Lobby and the Rings,- that are-co much heard of in the na tional tad State-seats of government, are the natural outgrowths of corrupt legislation. if the representatives cf the people are tones tether© car be no Lobbies or Biage, be ■cause fifto business will net pay. Wft trust there fc to rashness or misjudgment in de claringf{batin'tbs Pennsylvania Legislature of IS€B, there is honesty enough to be proof against>Lobbiee and B ings. & iKIWUO LefTJEK. There as a letter missing, about which tbere is ■*© little anxiety. 'lt is supposed to have been written/by one Andrew Johnson, office under the .Government at Washington. It was addressed to the American People, care of U. k. Grant. It is more than a week einee this letter wasnonotmeedas having been written, but it has not come to hand. It is anaiondy expected, es it is said to be a very lively description of a recent difficulty be tween the writer and -U. S. Grant, and to call Mr. Gaunt a great mahy hard names. Where con this letttf be? It was to prove, by the evidence of four grave and reverend public functionaries, .that U.-B. Grant’s veracity is not just exactly what might be expected of an officer rutd a gentleman. Andrew John- son and .his four friends were all to say . “Nay’ l » with one accord, in response to U. 6. Grant's emphatic “Yeal” and as it is always such a pleasant >tbing to prove one’s neighbor to be a thief, a itiar, or, in any other way, no better titan he ehould be, ; the good people of the land have been delighted at the; prospect of a good, substantial dish of scandal, which promised todestroy the reputation of a fellow citizen Who, because he happened to have done a little bit of insignificant soldiering, had been mqde much of. But the hopes of the public have been erueDy trifled With. The letter has not come, .and there is qreiy reason to believe that it ffias not be» at Dark hints are thrown out that Mri Johnson’s four friends ■have been taken with a sudden collapse of .memory, and cannot quite recall the'precise language of the naughty Grant on the occa sion of his visit td them. Other, dark hints express the. idea that there is such an absurd reliance on Grant’s honesty omthe part of the people t£at they will believe his word, ' ‘any thing which. ( Mr. Johnson and his friends may say to the contrary notwithstand ing.” Tiiflre mu§t be something in these etee .where is the promised letter? Clannot • for it ?If it has pot , been there not to be an official dendand 'that it shall bo written forth with? Aire the feelings pf the people to be trifled with by men who promise to tear other men’s good naffies to Matters and then, for no better reason than a mere want of proof, hack out in this Bhameful way ? . What ihepeople want is that letter v “Go, write it in a martial hand; be curst and brief; Jt Is no matter hoW witty, so it be eloquent and fell of invention; taunt him with the license of ink; if thou thou at him some thrice, it shall not be amiss; and as many lies as will lie in thy sheet of paper, although the sheet were big enough for the bed of Ware in Eng* land, set ‘em down; go, about it. Let there be gall enough in thy ink; though thou write with a goose-pen, no matter; about it!” New York is in great tribulation concern ing the condition of its harbor; between the high winds that blow the water out of the East river,the ice which iB banked up in vast massed all around the city,and the icebergs that co’Ae crushing down the North and East rivets with every tide, the harbor is almost entirely im practicable even for steam-vessels, and utterly out of the question as a field for the operations of saillng'eraft. A New York correspondent of a Philadelphia cotemporary, in speaking of the existing condition of things, says : “The ferry boats make their trips,to Brooklyn and Jersey by hobbling through, it [the ice] as best they may, but sail vessels give up the triad in disgust H, things do not soon mend, it would not be astonishing to hear of vessels on reach ing Bandy Hook sheering off to Philadel phia for a harbor, rather than incur the riiik of being run down %y the frightful icebergs in the North and East rivers.’’ Tke New York newspaper writers' affect to make ■ light of the ice embargo which is shutting up their port, nnd they endeavor to console themselves by (pretending to believe that -Philadelphia is in a worse condition than New York. The answer to all that is in the fact that our ice boats keep the river sufficiently open for the .purposes of navigation, and that we always have an' abundance of water for the largest crafty which can come up from the to tbe ; wharves ot the city without the slightest fear of sticking in the mud,as even the ferry boats did at New York last week. The New Yorkers do wisely perhaps to whistle to keep their courage up, and we give notice to all inward bound yeashls-that if they do not like the look out from Bandy Hook, they can come around to Philadelphia and find here a safe and com fortable harbor. Judging from the throng of willing and even anxious taxpayers who crowded the office of-the Receiver or Taxes, to-day, Mr. ■Piersol should be in ample funds to enable him to do a brisk business in the paying of city warrants. Thesavingof one percent a month, in the way of discount, prompted these forehanded citizens , to gather about the doors of the Receiver long before the opening hour, and when their toes became benumbed and the tips of their ears and noses reddened •under the influence Of the eager and nipping air, they thought of twelve per cent-per an num saved, and found warmth ; and comfort in the reflection. The Receiver's books were opened for the first time to day, under the new system of assessing the value of property. The actual value has been put upon real estate, so far as it was possible to make a correct estimate of it, and the new rate, $1 40 per hundred dol lars of value, will yield a larger revenue than was obtained under the old system,: where there were the most absurdly disproportionate valuations. The labor of re-assessing all the iproperty in the city fcqp been very great,'and a still more important and more perplexing portion of the work was that performed by the Board of Revision, the members of which went patiently over all the work of the asses sors. ancl heard all cases of appeal from their estimates of the value of property. The money that will be put incirculation through the prompt payment of taxes will tend to re lieve the dullness of the dullest month in -the year, and while it will enable the city to maintain its credit by promptly honoring drafts upen the treasury, it will afford wel come relief to the numerous creditors- of the city. One of the Philadelphia dealers in the .filthy illustrated newspapers that are printed in New York and distributed throughout the country to poison the 'minds and morals of the young, and who is .under ball to answer fortoe-ofFencejhaß-reeommencedtheealeof the obscene sheets, and has been re-arrested for it <He gave as a reseda for this conduct that the publishers of the indecent paper had promised to indemnify him in the event of prosecution! Some men are insensible to the shame of a . conviction for an infamous crime and would even endure an ignominious imprisonment !! , they could .receive any pecu niary advantage’ from it lßut we cannot understand,how the tradesman who thus boldly flies «h the face of public opinion in this ■matterof obscene publications, can reeeiyie any adequate indemnification for the loss of his own self-respect and the gain of the scorn and contempt of all decent citizens. Sen/ nubUcMtona in Fonlpi inn. Kaagea. .Philadelphians have reason to remember pleas antly the book-store and reading-robins of Me. F- Leypoldt, formerly in Chcstnnt street, at the corner of Juniper.' Of late years, as senior mem ber of the publishing house of Leypoldt A Holt ofNeW York, he has done ai more genoral ser vice, and, with the co-operation of a congenial and enterprising partner, is frequently giving to the American public works that other •' houses would hesitate to publish, fearing that there was not chough of scholarly taste to make them "pay-” The most important and valuable of the late publications of Leypold t .fcllolt that have reached us is a well printed volume called “Lemons de Literature Franqaise Classlque.” It Is made up of selections from tlio “Matlndes Llttdralres” of Edouard Mennechet, and Is meant for, use in schools. But it Is Worthy also of perusal by all who wish to have a comprehensive, intelligent and well-written history of French, literature, from the earliest .days of the Languo d’Olj and the League d’Oc, down to the brilliant period; of, Voltaire and Boussenu. - Indeed, there is no work known this country that 'contains, In so small a space,'so good an ac count qf the poets, the satirists, the essayists, ,tho .philosophers and thepreacbere thflitgaveglory to French literature prior to tbe KoyoluUod. The Sketches of Bubclais, Montaigne, Corneille, Mo llete, Badne, La Fontaine, Boesuet, Fdudlon, Massillon,Voltaire and Rousseau—to say nothing ~'of many others—are short, but they are excellent. The style of the anther is simple, but elegant'and correct, and every one acquaint' with the lan guage, and interested in F’reiie’ >l en joy and value the volunio.

Delille, will be found excel lont for students; and older readers of French will find it useful in refreshing the memory on certain grammatical and idiomatic points. It is a reprint from the thirteenth London edition, and its popularity in England Is a proof of its merit. John B<Bw!d, Philadelphia has just lost ohc of her most useful citizens. Jobnß. Bndd, Esq., expired yesterday morning at his residence in Spruce s.treeL fle was born in the Northern Liberties of Philadel phia, and had reached the seventy-first year of his ago. His father wob a Justice of the Peace, and afterwards Steward of the Lazaretto. Mr, Bndd began life as a business man in the count ing-room of the old hhuso of Price & Morgan, where bis intelligence; and energy soon made him very useful.'. During.'tho war - with Great Britain he was 'among tho .volunteers that.went from Philadelphia to Camp Dupont, in 1814. After thd warkc returned to.his place with Price & Morgan, and was sent by them to .Jamaica; the non-intercourse act pre venting his sailing direct, he went to Bermuda, And thence by a small vessel to Kingston. Re turning after successfully performing his errand, he was sent to New Orleans in the interest of the gTeat Morgan sugar estates of Louisiana. On coming back to Philadelphia he established him self in business, and was made agent for the sale of, the crops of these estates. He had the foil confidence of the late Thomas E- Morgan, and of the various heirs of the estate up to the time of-his voluntary retirement from business about ten years ago. lie was for a number of years a Director in the Bank of North America, dud also in tho Insurance Company of the Btate of Penn sylvania. Although not in active business since then, Mr. Bndd has never been idle, and all good and patri otic objects. have- been sustained by him most liberally. A favorite institution with him was the Academy of Music, and it is doubtful if jt could have been built when It was, or as substan tially a.s it was, bnt for his own liberal contribu tions and his unremitting exertions in behalf of it.: He has been one of the Directors from Us foundation, and its prosperity is, in a great de gree, to be attributed to his close personal atten tion. He was liberal also In other directions, and although making no pretension to literary or scientific attainments, he contributed largely to the Academy of Natural Sciences, as "well os to literary.and benevolent institutions of every kind. - Personally Mr. Bndd was very highly esteemed by those Who knew him well. His bldnt, plain manner might not always impress a stranger favorably. No one was ever more free from sham, or humbug, or affectation. But he had a warm, generous heart, which only, made itself known by private and unostentatious'deeds of goodness. Mr. Budd’s health has not been good for years, but his energy and activity never failed until within a short time. He took a lively interest in all public questions, and only a few weeks ago he sent a communication to this paper on one of those questions,-written in tbecnrt but pithy language which was characteristic of him. For about two weeks, however, he has been confined to his honse, and his sufferings came to an end yesterday. Mr. Bndd leaves a widow and several sons and daughters. Earle’s Galleries. Mr. Waugh has just finished, by direction of the Farmers’and Mechanics’ Bank, a portrait of its latemost estimable President, Singleton Mercer, Esq. We hope it will 1 be universally seen by our citizens before its removal to a less accessible posi tion, It Is In Messrs. Earle’s new Gallery. This, by, -the way, is very mnch altered, and will prove a great temptation to amateurs,who,heretofore,have not cared io mount a flight of stairs to see good' pictures, as this brings a selection of the newest together on the first floor. The two gems of the gallery for a few weeks past,the Preycr,and Meyer vonJßrcmer. aie removed to.a pnrchasor’a walls, but there is a fine historical work by Fasso, of ,Borne, of Mary, Queen .*/ Scots, a strong and powerful picture; a small genre subject by Seitz, of Munich, and quantities of other good things on ■view. A very grand Mountain View bv Millner ■makes a shining mark; a Salmon Fishery, by Herzog, is also very wonderful. Several of Jacobsen’s Maonlights, and some,of Voctz’s Cat tle, pieces, with a Snow piece by Zimmer man,’ of Munich,, make a most complete’ collection. Passing a round plcturd of the Md donna of the Chair, we found it to jbe a chroma,- and df the moßt astonishing character... Cbnstant May tjr’s portrait of General Grant has been ren dered In chromo-lithography, and so excellentis it,thhtit will most probably be the authentic Portrait of the country. “The Matterhqrn,” after Row botham; and the companion picture, are fine reproductions of the original water colors also.

London, Feb. 10th.—Captain Mackey, who was captured at Cork a few dfiys since'for planning tho recent attack on tho MarteUo Tower at Duncannon, was brought up for examination on Saturday afternoon. The .evidence seemed to bo conclusive, and he was fully committed for trial. He is described as having barely reached twenty one years of ago.

Ala., Feb. 10.— Out of 17 Booth Alabama counties, embracing the- large negro counties of the State, the Constitution Is behind '1.700 votes. The hill country and the Florida line of counties will make it at least 10,000 behind. Tho election last fall on the Convention was held only at the Court-Houses, and continued three days, and the Convention was carried by about 10,000 over one-half the registered vote. Three times more voting places were opened at the election on the constitution than on the convention, and the election continued five days. It is a clean defeat. The managers of the elec tion for the constitution were generally Radicals. Tbe Agricultural Korean. Washington, Feb. 10.—In view of the limited appropriation of Congress and immense demand for seed, the Commiswoner of Agriculture finds it impossible to supply any but practical agricul turalists, and snch persons as are recommended by the Agricultural Societies throughout the countiy. It is therefore useless for any other person than those above mentioned to apply to the Department for seeds. iron lowa.

Watson vs." Mulrhcad. Error to D. C., PliUa dclpblo—Opinion by Bharswood, J.—The busi ness of a conveyancer Is one of great import ance and responsibility. It requires an acquaint ance with tbe general principles of the law .of real property, and a large amount of practical knowledge, which can only be . derived from experience. In England it has been pursued by lawyers of . the greatest eminence. As our titles become more complex with the increase of wealth, and the desires which always accompany It to continue It, in our name and family aslong as the law will permit, it will be come more and: . more:‘ necessary that gen tlemen prepared"’ by a .course ot libe ral education and previous study- should ; devote themselves to’ 11.‘There have been and still are such among ns. The rhlc of liability for errors of judgment, as applied to them, ought to be the same os .In the case of gentlemen in the practice of law or medicine. It is not a mere irt, but a science. “That: part of tip pro fession,” said Lord Mansfield, “which is carried on by Attorneys, is liberal and respectable, as well as nsefhl to the public, when they conduct themselves with honor and integ rity; and they Ought to be protected when they act to the best of their skill and knowledge. Bat every man is liable to error, and I should be very sorry that It shonld be taken for granted that an ationiey Is answerable for or mistake. A counsel may mistake as well as an attorney; yet no one trill say that a counsel who has been mistaken Shall be charged. * * * • Not only counsel but Judges may , differ or donbt or take 'time to consider. Therefore, an attorney ought not to be liable in ease of reasonable doubt.” Pitt vs. Yalden, 4 Barr 2060. The rule declared by Lord Mansfield has been followed in all tbesnb • sequent cases. “No attorney,” said C. J.Abbott, “is bound to know all the law. God forbid that itshonld be Imagined that an attorney ora coun sel, oreven ajuagete bound to Know all tbe law; or that an attorney Is to lose hte fair recompense on account of An error, being such an error as a cautious man might fall into.” If the defendant bad undertaken to act upon his own opinion that the judgment, which ap peared on the searches, was not a final one, and therefore not a lien upon the ground rent, ths title of which it was Hs duty to examine, could we. say that before the decision, of this Court in Sellers vs. Burk, If Wright, 344, the mistake was one which could only result from the want of ordinary knowledge and skill or the failure to exercise due caution? But when, in addition, it appears that having been previously employed to in vestigate the same title, he had submitted it "to eminent counsel, who had given a written opinion In its favor, without ever expressing a doubt as to the judgment in question, to hold him. responsible wonla be to establish a rule, the direct effect of which Wotild" be to deter all prudent and responsible men' from pursuing a vocation environed with such perils. We think the Court below was right in refusing to charge as requested In the plaintiff's points, aU of which assume as'matter of law that to pass the title with such an Incumbrance upon it was evktence of want of ordinary knowledge and skill and of due caution. We see, therefore, no’error by which we ought to reverse. Judgment affirmed.- Nisi Peics—Justice Read.—George B; Hilliard and Lewis F. Hilliard, trading fs Hilliard Bros, vst Henry K.

SUPREME COURT INVESTIGATION A TerviDle Accident in Vermont. WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH From Woslilnfton, Wasutnoton, Feb. 10 -In the Suoreme Court to-day, Associate Justice Nelson announced an elaborate opinion in the ,Case of the State of Georgia against Secretary Stanton, G6n. Grant ond Maj.-Gen. Pope, praying for the reasons set forth ln the petition that-'they may be restrained from doing certain acts contemplated by the rcconstrncHon laws. Th 6 Court dismissed the bill for the reason that itpresents a political question, and therefore not properly falling under its jurisdiction. This opinion, the Justice said, was also applicable to a similar petition of the State of Mississippi. The sn&Comrolttee on Reconstruction this morning resumed the examination of Mr. Still man, correspondent of the.,.New York World, with reference to his conversations with the President v on the subject of the Stanton and Grant matter, and in connection with the Fresi dent and Grant correspondence, which latter was referred to that Committee by the House. An Opinion in the. Supreme Court. (Special Desparek to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.} lo.—Justice Nelson de livered an opinion, in the Supreme Court this morning on the Mississippi and Georgia recon struction cases.’ It will be remembered that last year ihese : cases were brought before the coart in the shape of a bill, praying for aninjanction to restrain Andrew Johnson, Edwin M. Stanton, U. 8. Grant, Gen. Old ond Gen. Pope from executing the Reconstruction laws lnthe Stated of Mississippi and Georgia. The case was ar gued at the time, by Attorney-General Stanbery, Judge Sharkey, and others, and the Court dis missed the bill on the ground of want of jurisdior tion. To-day Jnßtice Nelson delivered the opinion of the Court, giving the reasons for dismissing the * bill. The opinion was very elaborate, and the ground taken is that the question at issue between the parties was purely: political, and hence the Court cannot take cogal zonce. In this opinion Justice Nelson said the Conrt is unanimous. , The firant-JoUDicn Affair. (Special Despatch to the Philadelphia Eventaa Bulletin.

(Special Dwp&tch to the PUiadclpbia Evening Bulletln.l Washington, February 10th.— The opinion delivered In the Supreme Court to-day in ; the Georgia and Mississippi cases is regarded as virtually settling the McArdle case and all similar cases that may come before the Court- . It is understood that f the. Court, looks upon the McArdle case :as a purely political- one, and will sustain the motion to .dismiss for want of juris diction. This will probably put, a stop to some legislation now before Congress respecting the Supreme Court. j .* ;-'";Weiwr Finance Scheme.

When detested n. few days apo. he confessed h'm misdeeds without the least 1 and produced, accurately kept, memoranda that showed ho had been stealing tor six monlhs past. Of him the Louisville Journal says: " Ever 1 , since 1801, wo are authentically In- i formed, Bloomgart has wooed the flcklo goddess, I Fortune, atd has been thrice bankrupted therii by, and occasioned much goffering and financial | embarrassment to his relatives and friends. .The dame seems never to have smiled upon him. In 1881, when this mania first seized Bloom- : gart, he was well established In the fancy goodsvbaslnesß somewhero on .Main street. So o'erleaplng was his ambition for sodden wealth , that in a vory short time he sacri deed everything he possessed at the lottery wheel. Bis family and frlendß came to bla relief, paid off his debts, and enabled him to start In trasmess-on Market Street. There he prospered until the old desire lnred him back to the habit of “trying his lock.’’ Before long be found himself penniless once more, and himself and family not only pensioners upon their kindred and friends, but virtual outcasts. Again bo rallied, and pro cured business enough to support his family. Through their persuasion he conquered his pas sion for lottery-playing, and returned to his “old love” only within the last two weeks, and then entirely unknown to any of his acquaintances The humiliating result of that backward step is known .. to ‘ the public. It is •no less strange than true that every dollar of the money lately embezzled (#12,000) and all that previously lost by Bloomgart, was spent for lottery tickets. He never used a far ming of it in providing for his wife and children. To this purpose he always devoted his salary while in the Custom-house,and a prescribed sum while merchandising." He is a man of steady and moral habits, and no one is more attached to his family. Altogether the case is nnparalloled.
