There was an interesting debate in Select Council, yesterday, on the subject of office seeking. An effort is being made at Har risburg to repeal the existing law which prd vides that members of Councils shall not be eligible for any other municipal office during their term as Councilmen. The law is a good one and serves as a cheek to aspiring gentle men who go into Councils simply as a step ping-Stone to higher and more lucrative po sitions. The debate, yesterday, does not ap pear to have been at all a political one, but the subject was discussed upon its abstract merits. Mr. Page offered a resolution asking the Legislature not to repeal this salutary law, and this resOlution Wat 3 the text for the debate. It Wid contended, on the one side, that the law, as it now stands, is a safe-guard against political intrigue and corruption, and that its provisions clearly apply to the whole term for which Councilmen are elected, whether they resign or not. On the other band, both Democrats and Republicans took the ground that a member might resign at any moment and accept another higher office. IDne gentleman argued directly that service in Councils entitled members to other offices, and another thought that the law was a dis franchising one, which the people do not re spect, and which should be treated as "trash of no use." After a pretty warm debate, Felect Council adopted the preamble and reso lution by a decided vote of nearly two to one,without party distinction, and so declared a preference for keeping the law as it is, This conclusion was a wise one. Although there are some precedents for the theory that, „tinder the law, a member may resign his office when he has helped himself to a better one, we do not believe that such is the true intent of the law. And it is far better on all accounts that there should be this safe guard against a most natural and common temptation. To hold high and honorable public office is a perfectly proper ambition for any good American citizen, but there is obvious danger in the opportunities that office affords for obtaining promotion. Nomina tions and appointments are not always made on account of peculiar merit, but are fre quently the result of that skillful manage- inent which enables an official to gain and liedd against - lhe — plivate sitizen, in the race for "honor and emolu ixient." The law, as it now exists, checks this tendency, and if enforced in its full ocope,would prevent it altogether, and would leave all municipal officials to the quiet and ' ilidthful discharge of present duties, undis turbed by those tempting visions of prefer ment which necessarily engross much time and talent that might be better eni vklyed. SOW PHILADELPHIA IS TREATED. There are, in almost all families that con tain numerous members, two distinct slimes: the one is made up of the sharp peo ple, who are determined upon having the full measure of their rights, and who, while exact ing the last copper of advantage consequent upon their connection, decline to bear any portion of the drawbacks and responsibilities that are incident to all family experience. The other class is made up of the patient ones who quietly bear the burthens of the whole, and who are, expected to put up with the past possible share of advantage while bear lag the full brunt of all the disadvantages that socially aggregated humanity is subject to. As it is in families; so it is In._communities, from petty corpora Lions to the great .family of sovereignties t.uallod the United States. Some sections of the country, New York city for instance, be long to the hungry class that is always alamorons in its demands and that is silent as the grave when there Is any suggestion of sesipreeal claims upon it. Philadelsia, upon the other hand, is the maiden aunt or easy= Aping brother,vrho is expected to keep quiet when there are any fat things to be divided, bat who is confidently looked to for prompt action when there is any nursing to be done ar any extraordinary expenditure of time or wioney to be incurred. Ifs-Governor (7Urtio, the course of a • recent speech, said that d ur i n g the gloomiest times of the war reun sylvaula always was oonhelently relict] 'von for atipplies ovulen awl money, anu he, as ~ ix texti v e of the tits te, never allied to meet. with= a • moody response . from the eitf whenever an emeroxicy arose and a dernand was made. When, in MI the turning point of the • 'war had _been reached, old 'when Philadelphia was sending forth by thousands the prime of ' young men under the auspices of such organi zations as the Union League, the Corn Ex change and the Coal Exchange, dozens of regiments bad to be hurried from the bard won field of Gettysburg to subdue the ram pant spirit of rebellion which had never been more than half concealed in New York. Bat New York can demand and receive huge appropriations for federal public buildings, while anything is deemed good enough for her, quiet sister upon the Delaware. The con cession of a new Post-Office and Court-Rouse combined, that is not half large enough for the postal and judicial wants of the city, seems to have.impressed the federal autho rities as the first cup of thin gruel impressed Mr. Bumble, and we are now looked upon as the Oliver Twist of cities because we have timidly asked for a little more. This little more was what the Hon. Charles O'Neill asked for to eke out the appropriation for the new Appraisers' stores in this city. Twenty-five thousand dollars, a sum that would scarcely be sufficient to pay the com missions of a New York Alderman in the sale of a slice off the Park as a site for a Post-office. was appropriated to build our new stores! Mr. O'Neill, aware of the utter insufficiency of the amount, endeavored to have this sum increased to seventy-live thou sand dollars, and Mr. Washbnrne of Illinois, who knows about as much about custom houses as the bulk of his constituents know about ship-building, opposed the motion to such good purpose that the House, yesterday, voted down the increased appropriation. The consequence will-be that unless more enlarged views pre vail at Washington, the site of the old Bank of .Perinsylvania, which, through bungling mismanagement, has been a wreck and a ruin ever since the days of Franklin Pierce, will continue in a condition of dilapi dation, an eye-sore to our people and a re proach to the short-sighted parsimony of the general government. It is time that our peo ple were more mindful of their rights, and they should accustom themselves to insist upon it at Washington and elsewhere, that it is not everything that is good enough for. Philadelphia. THE LEAGUE Isl.. 041) PURCHASE. In the Common Council yesterday the Committee on League Island reported an ordinance providing for the payment of in terest on the purchase money of the pro perty. Quite unexpectedly there was oppo position made to its passage, and the oppo nents succeeded in effecting a postponement. The usual outcry was made that the money was due to "a soulless corporation;" and yet if there is a corporation in this city com prising whole-souled, liberal and enlightened men, it is the Pennsylvania Company for In surance on Lives and Granting Annuities, to whom this debt is due. The interest due on it was paid, the first year, without a word of objection. The city is bound by its contract to pay the interest, and, if it fails, this whole League Island purchase may fall through. A critical time has ar rived, when it is vitally important that the purchase should be consummated. There may be a change in the Navy Department before many weeks, and the successor to Gideon Welles may not be as favorable to the projected naval station as he is and has always been. The City Councils ought to make haste to complete the purchase; but this delay to pay the interest on the debt is likely to defeat it altogether. Property all over the city has greatly increased in value since the project was started, and the ex tension of improvements in a southerly direc tion has made League Island worth far more than the rum for which the city is enabled to purchase it. The company is unquestionably entitled to interest, and as its payment and the assurance' of the early es tablishment of the naval station, will be worth many millions to the people of Phila delphia, the expenditure of money to pay the back interest is a very small matter. We hope that at the next meeting the ordinance may be passed without further opposition. GIRARD COLLEGE. Se ect Caßirkesterday again passel over the Girard College case. It is true that there, was much interesting and important business before the Chamber, and that the time of the session was very fully taken up. But there should be time taken to dispose of this im portant subject. Although the Investigating Committee failed to come to a unanimous conclusion, the examination of the affairs of the College was conducted with much impar tiality, and the Comraittee having done so well in this xespect, it will be most unfortunate if they fail to com plete their work to the public satisfaction by permitting their reports to be smothered in Council from a failure to call them up and obtain action _upon them. Any gentleman in Select Council may do this, whether he be on the Committee or not. As the matter now stands, it begins to look as if the ten Direc tors are afraid of a verdict, and are using their influence to prevent action upon the re ports. It is, at least, difficult to account for the continued delay upon any other theory. MARYVILLE COLLEGE. Maryville College is an institution located in the central portion of East Tennessee. It was founded in 1819, and, from its com mencement, has exercised .& ateadyi.and.paw erful influence in the direction of human freedom and. progress. The free 'spirit , of East Tennessee has been largely developed under the influence of this College, and the, strong loyalty of that section during the rebellion proved that there had long been a tone of healthy education among the people of that' "hill-country." The Maryville College, like most of the public buildings which stood in the track of the contending armies during the rebellion, suf feud severely. The buildings were seriously daningid and the library utterly destroyed. hut the College has survived 'the trying period of the war • and is now earnestly at work in the effort to secure an •endowment of 41(3),000, ot whwhich $20,000 have already been pledged. The Board of Trustees have dele gated the tiev. lamrLel fitiwyer to represent THE D.AILY 13IILLETIN.-PIIILADEVIIIA, FRIDAY, MARCH 20.1868. theix cause and its claims in the Eastern States, and the appeal should meet with a liberal response. Idaryvillo College has long served the cause of freedom by the education of a clads of men who go out, with an intel- Or I gent com prehen sien-orthe-great-principles of human liberty, to leaven the rn ase of ignorance and prejudice which has been such a hindrance 'and curse to the people of the South. Such an institu tion has a wider field c: usefulness before it than ever. Properly educated men are wanted, all over the South,—men who do not need to learn, themselves, the first principles of a sound education as American citizens, before they undertake to teach others, still more ignorant than themseges. This Col- lege is training the right kind of men for this important work, and it should be placed, at once, upon such a substantial basis of en dowment as will secure it from all future contingencies. The State Legislature yesterday voted down an act repealing the "act compelling the ad mission of negroes to railway cars." The Democratic members, who originated the measure, voted solid for the repeal. Every person who rides frequently in the city rail way cars knows whether the colored fellow-. passengers have in the main done anything to merit this attempted lapse into wrong and in justice, and all can judge for themselves. But how pitiful the predicament of a party that used to have such game as banks and tariff to fight, that now has no nobler purpose than to prevent poor inoffensive blacks from getting the bent lit of their seven cents worth (if car-riding! Yesterday the jury in the Court of Quarter SCESIODS brought in a verdict of guilty against a negro charged with perjury,in accusing Gen. Louis Wagner of having stolen a watch and chain while the General had charge of Camp William Penn. This verdict relieves General Wagner from an odium which has clung to him and injured him not a little for several years past. The evidence upon this trial proves conclusively that he has been the victim of an outrageous conspiracy, so cun ningly devised that it was extremely difficult to,prove his innocence. Every good man in the community will rejoice that justice has at last been done, and that the guilty party will be severely punished. Yesterday, in the State Legislature, the act changing the rules of evidence in the civil courts of this Commonwealth, allowing all interested parties to testify, was detested on a second reading by a vote of 49 to :35. The fair ness of the proposed change was so obvious that this result will cause surprise and regret. The reform was urged by the great majority of the Philadelphia bar and bench, and it had the sanction of European and American ex pedence. The Legislature by this action has deereed that shall continue to grope along in the old blundering way of excluding from the witness stand the only parties who know anything about the matters in dispute. “Atlantie” and 60 k rang Felkall for We receive from Mr. T.

WADE The Chief of the Kitchen Department (Special Deepatch to the Philadelphia Evening Eturietin.l WASHINGTON, March 20.—Tho Military Com mitte to-day decided to report a bounty bill em bodying the points contained in what is known as the Schenck bill, excepting that it provides that the bounties shall be paid in Government scrip. Each soldier and sailor is allowed bounty at the rate of eight and one-third dollars per month for the time he was in actual service, after deducting the State and National bounty already paid. It is not known to the committee how many million acres of land it will require to pay these bounties, no estimate having been as yet pre pared, but in view of the very large sum of money it would draw from the treasury and the amount it • would increase the public debt, the committee have come to the conclusion that these, bounties should be paid in land. The bill will be reported to the House, to be printed,and then recommitted to the Committee, and it is the intention of Gen. Garfield, the chairman, to call it up at an early day. Missouri Contested Election Case. [Special Despatch to the Phila. Evening Bulletin.] WASHINGTON, March 20.—The Election Com mittee this morning heard the finishing argument of Mr. Hogan, who contests the seat held by Mr. Pile, from St. Louis, Mo. It was expected that the Committee would report to the House to-day all the election cases before them,bnt the Hogan- Pile case occupied so much of the time of the Committee during the present week, that the Committee postponed reporting theni until after next Monday, when all the cases will be con sidered. It has been telegraphed from here that on the prospect of Senator Wade becoming President by the impeachment of Mr. Johnson, he has been in receipt of many lettere soliciting appoint ments. Your correspondent feels authorized to say that this is a gross exaggeration, not a single letter having been received based upon the expectation of Mr. Wade occupying the Presidential chair. He has received one personal application only, and that was made yesterday by a colored person, who was desirous of becom ing Chief Cook of the Kitchen Department at the White House, if Mr. Wade should re lieve President Johnson. It is needless to add that no encouragement was given. False rumors are daily circulated to the effect that Mr. Wade's cabinet has been de cided upon. They should be treated as specula tions, founded upon no authority whatever, as Mr. Wade has not intimated to any ore, even' his personal friends, whom he should select if impeachment proves succesafal, and there is authority for saying that he has not even - considered the subject in his own mind.

[Special Deapatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] WABIII.I 4 IOTON, March 20.—Mr. Drake, Missouri, tried to get before the Senate to-day a resolu tion prescribing, as an additional rule for the Senate, sitting as a Court of Impeachment, that, in impeachment proceedings, the presiding offi cer shall be addressed as "Mr. President," and that all papers submitted to the Senate, so sitting, shall be addressed to the Senate. Mr. Drake said that the Senate at the inauguration of the impeachment trial had witnessed an ex traordinary nroceeding, when counsel for the President had been addressing the presiding officer as "Mr. Chief-Justice," and the managers on the part of the House as "Mr. President;" the President's answer to the summons was Address ed to the " Chief Justice." Mr. Drake character ized this as an attempt to ignore the Senate. His resolution was objected to and went over. The Senate has under consideration this after noon the bill appropriating money for the Na vajo° Indians of New Mexico. The Department off Walrucsia. tdpecipl Deepatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] WASIINGTbN, March 20.—An incorrect state ment has gone forth to the effect that Walrcessia has been created a separate military department. The fact is that the Department of Columbia, to which Walrnssia was attached, bas been sub divided, making three departments instead of two in the Military Division of the Pacific, and Gen. Jeff. C. Davis has been assigned to the com mand thereof, according to his brevet rank. Changes of laintaryCommands• Deepatch to the Phila. Evening Bulletin.l WASHINGTON, March 20.—1 t is stated here this afternoon, upon apparently good authority, that Gen. Gordon Granger wtll be ordered to assume command of this - District, in place of Gen., Emory, who is to be ordered to a new com mand. General Hancock is expected to ar rive here this afternoon, and the state ment . gains credit that he will be or dered to assume command of the Department of the Atlantic, headquarters to be in this city. Very little business is being done in Congress to day. The House is debating the Miscellaneous Appropriation bills. The Trial of Jeff. Davie. D. .a • , er. l v • B WASHINGTON, March 20.—The farther post ponement of the trial of Jefferson Davis from March- 14th to --May-4th-will--be-officially-- an nounced within a day or two. This change, it is stated, is rendered necessary by the fact that the new term of the Court commences on May 4th, and the time intervening between Matth 14 and May 4th is not considered sufficient to try this case. Hence the Government has made a further postponement of the trial. Sentence of Murderers. [Special to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, by. Frank, lin '1 elegraph Company.] • HARTFORD, March 20.—1 n the Supreme Court, to-day, in the trial of Brooks and Henry for the murder of Mr. Bradley, the jury returned a ver6 diet of guilty of murder in the second degree.

Of this amount he was convinced that $50,000,000 might be saved by proper precautions.
