A LOSS TO PHILADELPHIA.
An announcement has been just mac to
the public which will spread a gimp over
Philadelphia, while it will carry joy to the
hearts of the dwellers in' New York. Since
the days when Nebuchadnezzar carried away
the sacred vessels from Jerusalem to the land
of Shiner, or the golden fleece of Thessaly
was transported to the consecrated grove of
Colchis there have been few similar events
so fraught 'with national and historical inte
rest as the one which has just occurred •in
our own immediate vicinity. It is
said, and there is not the least
reason to doubt the statement, that
on Tuesday evening last the Hon. Wm. B.
Reedipresented to the New York Historical
Society the entire collection of manuscript
papers of his grandfather, President Joseph
Reed, of Pennsylvania, extending from the
year 1758 to the year 1784.
So far as we know, Philadelphia had' no
warning of this impending calamity. There
have been no portents in the sky; or if there
have been, the continued cloudy weather has
prevented our seeing them. The ever-watch
ful press has given no sign. The police have
been in blissful ignorance of what was going
On. When the remains of the first Joseph
were carried from Egypt to Palestine,
everybody knew all about it. But now,
the remains of our Joseph have gone
to New York, and the people of Philadelphia
awake to know how they have been be
reaved when it is too late. Philadelphia has
been hardly used of late. Its - own legislature
tirefuses to beautify its public squares with
its temples of science and art, and Mr. Bick
ley does not 'half clean the streets. The
Democratic National Convention will not
meet here, and Congress denies us the pit
tance that we ask for our Appraiser's stores.
And now Mr. Reed, one of our most "emi
nent professional men," not only transfers
his lucubrations to the editorial columns
of the New York World,but ships his grand
father's remains to the New York Historical
Society. There seems to be but one more
blow that Mr. Reed can strike at his native
city. Having long been engaged, as Ban
croft says, in the "impossible task of rolling
his grandfather's reputation up hill," out of
the oblivion where "the Philadelphians of
1783 were willing to leave it," he has sent
him to New York. The one thing that re
mains is for Mr. Reed to follow the ancestral
remains to the same happy hunting-grounds
of Copperhead politicians.
Philadelphia has partially accustomed her
self to his retirement from public and profes
sional prominence, and if he should transport
himself as quietly as he transported the re
mains of his grandfather, we shall, of course,
mourn the loss, but not longer than the regu
lar time of "thirty days."
The Historical Society of Philadelphia
ought to be ashamed of itself that the com
munity should have been thus bereft
of these relics of its "honored
dead." The Society has evidently been
caught napping by its wide-awake
rival in Gotham; and moreover it Showed so
much•"malignant and stolid intolerance" by
the removal of one or swo of its eminent offl-
cers during the rebellion, that it may be
doubted whether it was a fit receptacle for
the literary remains of the "disinterested and
guiding statesman" whom Mr. Bancroft in
sists upon regarding as—quite the reverse.
There is one good reason why the archives
of New 'Yolk should thus heap been enriched
at the expense of Philadelphia. On several
occasions the Philadelphia Library and, we
believe, the Historical Society have had pre
sented to them interesting works connected
with the history of the grandfather and the
grandson of the Reed family. Among them
we renitinber "Nuts to Crack," "A. Vindi
cation," and the "Cadwallader—Reed"
pamphlet. Stich was the thirst of the public
to , possess itself of all that related
to the subjects and persons treated
of in these works, that they were
all stolen from the shelves, soon
after they were deposited. Who the thief
was and what became of these valuable works
have never been divulged, but their mysteri
ous disappearance might well have excited
the conviction that the only safe and proper
repository for the literary remains of Mr.
William B. Reed's grandfather is in the city of
New York. That city has long been regarded
as the natural refuge for all sorts and kinds of
characters, and Mr. Reed cannot be seriously
blamed for removing his ancestral remains
from a community who cared nothing about
them; and enshrining them where the slight
est taint of disaffection to anatriotic allegi
ance is the very odor of all sanctity.
JROISHHION THE EXPE'iGER.
If Bob Oratchit had been in the Rouse
yesterday, and heard Robinson of Brooklyn
offer his expunging resolutions, he could
scarcely have been restrained by tho fear of
the Capitol police from screaming out:
"There never was such, a goose 1" Rob
inson gains fresh flavor as he advances in
legislative life. He has never opened his
mouth on the floor of Congress when some
grotesque frog has not hopped out for the
amusement of the public ; but he improves
in drollery with practice, and his appearance
in print is now as eagerly sought for as was
that of "Jack Rogers" in his absurdest days:
Robinson wants to expunge the impeach
ment resolution, and he wants it done in
style. 'lle wants very, very black lines
drawn around it, and then he wants 31F.
McPherson to write across the face of it, in
strong letters, whatever characters they
ony be, "Expunged!" But even this does
not fill up the whole demand of the Robin.
MIMI mind. A beautiful copy ,of the ex
punged resolution, elegantly engrossed and
framed, is to be presented to Andrew John
son, and then ever to many fao similes of
it are to be made, one for each of his living
lineal descendants, and one to each public
library and reading-room in the United
States ! Surely there never was such a
g'oose!
How Mr. Speaker Colfax could have de
cided that this was not a "question of privi
lege" we cannot imagine. Why, it was over
flowing with' privilege. Wasn't it a privilege
to hear Robinson's resolutions ? Wouldn't it
be a privilege to present Andrew Johnson
with his copy, all engrossed and framed?
Wouldn't every library and reading-room in
the land eejqy its share of the privilege? Isn't
there a privilege for some lithographer who
gets the contract for the fac similes!? Not
a question of privilege, Mr.' Speaker ! Why,
Robinson himself Is a national privilege, and
everything that he favors Congress with,
should be so considered.
Robinson promises to bring up his resolu
tions during the remainder of his public life.
He assures the disappointed country thatit is
a mere question of time. If he can't expunge
Andrew Johnson in this Congress, he means
to do it in the next. Noble Robinson ! Most
excellent Robinson ! No matter if Andrew
Johnson loses his head next week, go on with
your great work. It will be such a comfort
to his lineal descendants to know
that if he is not President of the
United States, the Democrats think he
ought to be. Who knows but what he
may some day come and sit on the steps of
the White House, with his Robinsonian cre
dentials, all framed and engrossed, hung
around his stubborn old neck, and demand
the right to serve out the rest of his Presi
dential term? There is no knowing what an
expunged Andrew Johnson might not do, if
he had a Robinson to take care of him. Not
a question of privilege! It is the very first
mistake Mr. Colfax ever made, and we hope
it will be the last. Robinson ! Robinson !
Thou art such a goose!
OPERA ILY 11116 UNITED SrttrEs.
While theatres called opera houses are
multiplying rapidly in the United States, the
opera itself is rapidly dying. In New York,
the great centre of wealth and luxury, two
Italian opera houses have been built, but the
Italian opera is dead. It has been killed by
spectacles, pantomimes, ballets and a French
burlesque company, Which contains not one
good voice or one good singer, and which
only performs musical farces written for a
minor theatre of Paris. The attractions of
these entertainments are enhanced by the
indecent costumes, broad dancing and vulgar
acting that are in vogue among the demi
monde and the iorottes of Paris, but that
are not fit to be exhibited before a public
largely composed of virtuous women and
young modest maidens.
It is a deplorable reflection that an art so
refining as music should be degraded and
nearly destroyed by the successful competi
tion of the vulgar entertainments referred to.
But it is none the less a fact. There has not
been a single attempt to carry on the Italian
opera, in New York, Philadelphia, Boston or
anywhere else, during the past year, that has
paid expenses. The managers of the New
York Academy of Music have abandoned the
opera entirely, and will hereafter rent their
building for balls, lectures, meetings, and for
the ballets and burlesques craved by the
degenerate taste of the times. Pike's opera
house, after several failures with . the opera,
is in the market for almost any kind of en
tertainment. The Philadelphia Academy
of Music is used for everything but Italian
opera. There is some cause for local pride
in the fact that a respectable English Opera
Company still can win a moderate success
within its walls; but their expenses have to
be kept down, and their seasons must be
made short, to enable them to get along at
all. The main reliance of the establishment
for revenue is in balls, lectures and such bur
lesques and extravaganzas as are scarcely fit
to be presented to a refined audience, and as
were certainly not contemplated by the ori
ginal subscribers to the stock, nor by the
members of the Legislature that granted a
charter to the institution as an Academy of
Music.
There.are, happily, signs that the public is
beginning to weary of the unrefined entertain
ments lately offered to them, and to long for
good.operas and good dramas, free from vul
garity, extravagance and sensationalism.
New York managers, who have made for
tunes by one or two show pieces possessing
not a particle of literary or dramatic merit,
are reported to be arranging for a season of
legitimate drama, with a great European star
as the chief actor. Mr. Grau's Italian dra
matic company has supplanted the
"can-can" and other Parisian vul
garities at the French Theatre. There
are hopes that the better among the wealthy
amusement-lovers of New York may com
bine to offer an assurance that a new basis
may be established for the Italian opera, arld
that the artists who have been driven to more
congenial countries, may again be induced to
come back to the Uuited States. The return
of a star like A.delina Patti might make the
opera once inure fashionable, and that would
be a severe blow to the lower kinds of amuse
ment. Auy circumstance of this kind will
be hailed with &light by every raPectable
citizen who appreciates a charming art, and
del lores the degradation to which it is now
reduced.
The Plincess Louisa of England, the sixth
child of Queen Victoria, is reported aimed
to be married to Prince Christian Frederick,
heir apparent of the crown of Denmark. She
was twenty years old on the 18th of March,
and the Prince will be twenty-five on the 3d
of June; so th it in years, at least, they . will
be well mated. As he is brother of the
Princess of Wales, the two royal families
will be still more closely allied. Four of the
Queen's children remain to be disposed of in
roarrisge, viz.: the Duke of Edinburgh, aged
24; Prince Arthur, aged 18; Prince Leopold,
aged 15, and Princess Beatrice, aged 11. To
get suitable partners for all of them of royal
blood, outside of England and of Protestant
faith, doesilot seem an easy matter. The
royal family of Denmark are of the Lutheran
faith.
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN -4 ) HILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, MAY'B; 1868.
The streetrcleaning question was up in Se
lect Council yesterday, and the .Apacitd corn:
mittee of that body reported that it had in
structed the Mayor to rescind the contract for
cleansing the Northem , Dlstsiet, giving fifteen
days notice thereof, dating from the sth in
stant. The committee also proposed a plan
for the formation of new districts, and for the
securing of a more faithful performance of
future contracts. Mr. King submitted a plan
for the establishment of a Department of
Cleansing, with all persons employed therein
the direct employ6s of the city. After some
discussion both plans were referred back to
the committee. Mr. Gillingham, from the
same committee, reported a resolution,which
was agreed to, directing the City Controller to
countersign no warrants for cleansing
the Northern District until after May
20th, and then not until • the Commis
sioner of Highways shall report that the
streets have been left in good order. This
looks a little like business ; but within a few
hours after the passage of the resolution,the ele
ments did more work in the scavengering line
than has been done by human agency during
the last six months. The drenching rain sent
thousands of tons of mud into the sewers,
and it showed a promptness about the , per
formance that is eminently worthy of the
imitation of city authorities and those to
whom they entrust the important duty of
caring for public cleanliness and public
health. In view of the late condition of the
streets, the backwardness of the season about
which so much complaint has been made,
may be deemed a blessing to the city. With
out such a rain as that of last night, hot sun
shine upon the heaps of mud and garbage
which disgraced and befouled the streets,
might have produced wide-spread sickness.
In Common Council, yesterday, the impor
tant subject of paving received some
merited attention. • Mr. Harper, chair
man of the Special Committee on
Improved Pavements for Streets, made
a report, with an ordinance, providing,
that hereafter, all streets having a width of
50 feet and upwards to be paved between Gi
rard avenue and Washington avenue, shall be
paved with small cubical blocks of stone or
some other improved pavement, and all
streets to be repaved with the same
material in the territory named. This
action is designed to rid the
city of the abomination of cobble-stones
which belong to a long past era, and it will
doubtless meet the approbation of Common
Council at its next meeting, to which it was
postponed. Mr. Harper also offered a reso
lution instructing the Chief Commissioner of
Highways to notify all owners of stone and
iron pavements to have the same ribbed; also
an ordinance requiring all repaving of foot
ways on Walnut, Chestnut, Market and Axch
streets to be done with flag stones. This re
solution and ordinance were adopted by
Common Council and sent into the Select
branch for concurrence.
The sale of Mr. Shaw's pictures was post
poned from last evening to this, on account
of the storm. The matter was decided by the
unanimous vote of those present. The sale
will take place this evening and to-morrow
evening, at Mr. Scott's Art Gallery, 1020

[From the Chicago Repablicaa of May 6th.)
A deßpatch from Shanghai, Illinois, says:
It will seem incredible, that two good sized,
well-built churches, the only ones in the place,
both new—were both scattered in fragments over
the prairie for nearly half a mile.
Services commenced in the Second Advent
Church at o'clock, P. M. The pastor of the
church, Rev. (3. W. Hurd, ascended the sacred
pulpit and commenced his discourse, which was
not interrupted until it was nearly through, when
the evidences of the coming disaster began
to be apparent. First it was perfectly still, and
then a noise was heard in the distance as of the
roaring of a mighty cataract. The windows
began to shake., and some one called out from his
seat, Mr. Hurd, a bad storm is coming np."
The minister answered, "Never mind the storm;
there is a day coining when there will be a storm
compared with which this will be nothing. I
will be through soon." Just then the had and
wind commenced breaking In the window lights,
and in almost an instant the windows of the
church, sash and all, were torn out.
The only two persons who succeeded in getting
out were George Wern and Harrison Wison,who
were instantly killed. The building reeled like a
drunken man, but none could get oat. Wives
clur g to their husbands, children to their parents,
brothels and sisters to each other, and despair
was depicted on every countenance. Suddenly
the crash came and with a deafening sound
mingled with the shrieks of the pent up people,
timbers, scantling, and all came down with a
sudden crash upon the devoted heads of the con
gregation, men, women and children. Some had
skulls broken,others arms,o there received internal
injuries from which they can never recover.
There are several who did not receive a scratch,
but nearly all were more or less Injured.
Services were to have been held at the same
hour in the Methodist church, but owing to the
non-arrival of the minister the services were
postponed. This church was also entirely de
molished.
The killed were Geo. Wern, Harrison Wiron,
and Alonzo Page.
The following were the dangerously wounded:
Mr. Joseph N. Wood, since dead; Truman Lord,
John Jack, Mies Lucy Yard, Miss Alice Virixon,
George Talbott, Mrs. Woes and two children,
Albert Wees, Daniel Churchill, wife and son,
Jackson Barden and wife, Albert Rirden, Peter
Antimer, Listher Hibbard, Joseph Pittard, Henry
Holcomb, Carrie Holcomb, Charles B. Home,
Emma Churchill, Mrs. A. M. Page, one son and
daughter WOWlded and eon killed.
The Tornado at Muscatine.
(From the Muscatine (Iowa) Journal. May 4.)
About three o'clock yesterday afternoon, the
most terrible tornado in this section of the coun
try since 1844, visited this Vicinity, describing in
its destructive course, almost a semi•eirele around
this city, coming, at some points, within two or
threeimiles of the plant
Those who saw the approach . .of the tornado,
previous to its commencing its work of destruc
tion, say that it had the form of an inverted
funnel, whirled like a top as it sped along The
funnel seemed to have formed* by two clouds
meeting.
MIAs nearly as we have been able to ascertain, the
storm first burst on the farm of Mr. A. Cone,
about nine miles west of this city. It tore down
quite a stretch of fence on the farm*.thence
swepttalf a mile eastward, completely demol
idling a large new barn and some other houses.
Passing the residence of Mrs. Leonard Hords, it
shattered every Window in the house. Benj. F.
Miller's and R. Altekruse's places, six miles from
the city, were next visited. Mr. Miller's house
seemed to be taken In piecemeal and carried on;
* together with every artiele of furniture. Mr.
Miller and his family were fortunately away from
home at the time, which probably. saved their
lives.
The next.object of the fury of the tornado was
a large frame church building. It was literally
lifted from its foundation and scattered to the four
winds. Portions of a bible and sabbath school
book, belonging to the church, were , afterwards
picked up about two miles distant. A brick
school house near the church suffered the same
fate. An unsightly pile of rubbish marks the
spot where it stood.
But the mostterrible, heart-sickening . scene in
the track of the tornado is a few rods northeast
of the school house, on the farm of Kr. Lindley
Hoopes, which gentleman lost house, barn, titre
bead of cattle. and a number of sheep and hogs,
at one fell blow. ' There were In the house
a t the time . Mr. , Hoopes and
bis . and _ his son-in-law, Mr.
Bartlett 'emi t _ hie wif e. The Waist's) was die
covered a minute or two. before it struck the
house, and the occupants succeeded in reaching
the cellar save Mr. Bartlett and hie wife. Thev
were in the act of going down 'stairs, when they
were suddenly dropped, to the ground amid a mess
of ruins, with a portion of the root upan them
lie was dug out of the ruins severely braised, bat
his wife, strange to say, escaped with scarcely
any injury. Mr. IL his family were nearly
burled in the cellar, but the obstructions were
soon removed, and it was found that Mrs. IL, a
little girl and Wm..Floopee were slightly bruised, ,
though othervilee the family were uninjured.
An immense quantity of other houses and pro
perty were also destroyed.
The Storm in Peoria, 111.
A TACOMOTIVE STRUCK BY
On Friday last, during the hail storm that
visited this section, the eastward bound train on
the Toledo, Peoria and Warsaw railway, George
Boles, conductor, and C. A. Martin, engineer,
hbd.just left El Pub aa — the storm struck it.
Whin about a mile and a half cast of that city
the lightning struck a telegraph pole. Instead
of shattering it and going to the ground, it burst
the insulator, making a blaze of light, passed on
the wire to the next insulator, and burst that,
with another blaze of light, as intense, a looker
on informs us, as a thousand gas jets, and so on
for five poles. It then ran down one pole and
leaped to the track, and ran back with 7
out doing any damage until it struck
the engine. It ran up one of the drivers
and burst a section of two feet out of the solid
tire, and passing along the boiler, without &lag
any damage, it reached the lever and went up
ward with a blaze of light similar to that on the
telegraph- 'wire, and with a detonation like a
small cannon. Bo intense was the light, and so
violent was the shock that the engineer was
nearly blinded, and almost stunned. Our infor
mant says that the appearance of the light on the
track and on the wires was brilliant beyond con
ception. It looked'as if there was an immense
lake of Are ahead, into which the train was about
to plunge, and the contrast between the light and
the ordinary daylight that followed, seemed as
great as that between the brightest day and the
darkest night..

WASHINGTON, Ray B.—There is very little ex
citement here to-day. The impeachment advo
cates are in better spirits than they have been for
a number of days, and many leading Democrats
concede that the President's • onviction is certain
now, since the action of the Senate yesterday,
although they attribute it entirely to party
pressure.
Those Senators who preferred that no verdict
should be given-in the ease until the question of
who is to be nominated as Vice President at Chi
cago be settled, have given up their plans to de
lay the final vote, and now are 'agent for the.
verdict.
The House met today, but from the fact that it
is private bill day nothing of importance is likely
to occur. A motion was agreed to that when the
House adjourned it be until Monday nest.
The House Committee on Military Affairs had
under consideration the question of saving in the
cost of transportation of arms stores that would
accrue to the government by building the exten

clusion that it would save in ten years more than
all the aid which the government is asked to give
to assist in the construction of the road.

tion to press the bill to a vote to-day.

cord of the resolution proposed yesterday by

The Speaker stated that the resolution had not
ix en on the journal, inasmuch as it had not been
entertained as a question of privilege under the

journal.
Mr. Butler said that he would then withdraw
the resolution.
On motion of Mr. Woodward (Pa.), it was
agreed that when the House adjourn it adjourn

The House then proceeded to the regular course

Mr. Eldridge did not deem it at all unexception
able, and reminded Mr. Stevens that a printed
report of 30 pages on the subject was only now
laid on the desks of members, and there bad been
no opportunity to examine it.
Mr. Stevens said he had no objection to lot the

not be brought up for discussion before Monday

[ilowm—Continued from Fourth Edition.]
Mr. Stevens sitid there wero reasons, which he
did not care to mention, why the bill should be
passed to-day. Ho would therefore move the
previous question on the passage of the bill.
Mr. Spalding (Ohio) remonstrated against the
previous question, and declared that the House
Ivould not sustain it.
Mr. Blaine (Me.) thought that the House would
sustain the previous question.. If there was any
subject talked to death it •was reconstruction.
What- the people wanted now was acts, not.
words.
Mr. Spalding asked whether the House should
be required to vote for the admission of Arkansas
without an opportunity to examine her Consti
tution, and declared that ho for one would not
do so.
Mr. Robinsen thought that nothing would be
lost by letting the bill go over until nextweek..
Ho was prepared to vow for the bill, bat because
be did not believe that Jefferson Davis and the
rebels had not been able to take any State out of
the Union.
Mr. Stevens insisted on the previous ques
tion.
Mr. Eldridge hoped the House was net pre
pared for any such infamy us that.
The previous question was seconded, yeas 66 r

Mr. Stevens desired to say, in order that it
might go to the country, that every member had
a copy of the Arkansas constitution sent to him
a month ago, and if hs had not read and exam
ined it, it was his own fault. Having an hour to
close the debate, he yielded five minutes to Mr.
Woodward, who declared his unwillingness to
vote on the admission of a State, without any.
opportunity of knowing whether it had republi

Mr. Stevens repeated his remark that copies of
the Constitution of Arkansas had been furnished
to members a month ago.
Mr. Beck (Ky.), having twenty minutes al
