EVENING BULLETIN.
, TJbriMday, Jane 4, 186$.
A GOOD PRECEDENT.
Congress set an excellent example yester
day, in regard to the bad fashion of obituary
notices w public characters. Judge,Wood
ward, With singularly bad taste, introduced a
resolution in reference to the death of ex-
President Buchanan, in which he lauded him
not only for personal character and dignity,
but for the “patriotic motives which illus
trated his whole career, &c.” Judge Wood
ward evidently calculated upon the; prevalent
usage of the times to carry his resolution
through, bnt he reckoned badly. Mr. Farns
worth promptly refused to vote for such a
resolution, and it quickly became apparent
that the House would not commit itself to
a sentiment so opposed to the ikets of
the case.' Mr. Blaiqe offered ah amendment
leaving out the objectionable phrase, but
this did not suit Judge Woodward, and he
refused to accept thesubstitute, preferring to
have his resolution tabled, which was done.
A suitable resolution of appointing a
committee to attend Mr. Buchanan’s funeral,
was afterward offered by Mr. Blaine, and
passed;-
There is no particular importance to be
attached to this case, except as setting an ex
cellent example. Attorney-General Brewster,
announcing the death of Mr. Buchanan in
the Supreme Court, deprecated assaults upon
the dead, saying, “Let us forgec all asperi
ties oi party and be gentlemen,” but
that maxim is as good for the living
as the dead, and it is never the sign or the
duty of the true gentleman to pronounce
opinions upon the living or the dead; other
than honest and true ones.. In saying this, '
we do not refer to Mr. Brewster’s eulogium
upon Mr. Buchanan. But there is wide
room for reform in ' the 1 general field of
obituary panegyric. Any one who'reads the
extravagant resolutions Constantly publistcd
in the newspapers, passed over the mortal
remains of men whom no one honored while
living, must have beon often disgusted with
_the fulsome laudations, the affected resigna
tion, the fabulous recital of virtues never
detected until after death. Men die who have
occupied some little prominence in their
own little circle, who have been active in a
fire company, or members of some society or
club, and straightway their friends rush to
gether, and with much mock grief and cheap
eloquence they construct a character lor the
dead man which would astonish him could
he return to life, and the vocabulary of
eulogy is ransacked to decorate his name,
while the real traits by which he was best
known, so far as he was known at all, are
carefully put away out of sight. By all
means “let us be gentlemen,” and let us by
all means remember that truth is one of the
brightest ornaments of a gentleman. j
The habit of indiscriminate obituary praise j
is a very demoralizing one. Men are apt
to think that they are clothing themselves
in the bright robes of a pure charity when
they ascribe honorable things to dishonest
men, and lofty things to mean men, and vir
tuous things to vicious men, and hold men
up as having been shining lights in society
when all their lives have been without one
good influence upon the community. There
is no charity in. this odious fashion, and
it is often indulged only because these funeral
orators hope to have similar orations deliv
ered over their own graves. When good men
die, their virtues and their good deeds should
not pass’unnoticed: Such men may exert a
greater influence in the record left behind
them of a life well spent, than they were ever
able to exert in life. But when bad men are
taken away, they should either be suf
fered to pass out of memory. and be soon
forgotten, or if demonstrations must be
made over them, there should be sturdy
manliness enough among their survivors
to refuse to pronounce public panegyrics
upon men whose private vices have perhaps
been demoralizing society throughout a long
life. The fashion of heaping false praise on
the tombs, of dead men is an odious and bad
one. It does then no good, while it en
courages vice and crime by treating them as
of such minor importance as to be leftentirely
out of the account when the man’s life comes
to be summed up.
We repeat that we do not apply these gene
ral remarks to the caße of Mr. Ihichanuu, nor
are they, in many respects,applicable to him.
But the refusal of Congress to say about him
■what the majority of C<sngress doeß not be
lieve is, worthy of commendation, and sets
an example which it would be well to follow
in all classes of society.
COALS TO NEWCASTLE.
The New-York World is chuckling over
the statement that a pumping-engine is to be
procured in New York for use at the Fair
mount Water Works in.this city. The World
is a little fast in its exultation oyer the alleged
contract, and also in its inference' that the
procuring of machinery from New York is a
tribute to the superior skill of Gothamite ma
chinists. Philadelphia stands ahead of aU
other cities, outside of Europe, 'it? the
manufacture of machinery, and there is no
civilized portion of the continent of America
in which the products of our machine
shops will not. be found. -Private par
ties, who always look to their own
interests without; favor or partiality, obtain
their machinery in Philadelphia and it would
he a gross absurdity and a serious wrong for
oar city authorities to go abroad for that
which can be as well or better made by our
own mechanics. The question will be
brought up in Commen Council this afternoon
on the manifestlyTsir basis of a proposition
to advertise for proposals Tor the needed en-
gine, and let the best and cheapest get the
contract. Thecitizens of Philadelphia will
never be content that a New York machinist
shall receive thirty thousand dollam more for
the same work than is,demanded for it.by a
Philadelphia firm that stands among the fore- ,
most machinists in the country.
•‘NO CHILDREN.”
li an American Malthus should come upon
the stage of active life about this time, he
would find some arguments in support of his
theory in respect to population that were not
. dreamed of by the original Thomas M. Robert.
That profound theorist,, philosopher and
world-bettqrer did not live in a time or in a
country when and where the renters of
lodgings refused shelter to the juvenile head,
or where greedy journey men mechanics, who
desired to have a monopoly of tbeir trades,,
forbade the taking of apprentices by their
employers, under penally of a strike. He
simply reduced the question of population,
and the supply of needful food for
them, to an arithmetical problem, and
as he believed that the supply would not be
equal to the demand, he urged the systematic
reduction of the number of mouths that re
quire'to he fccL If the reader will take up a
newspaper that is published in the interest of
theclass of advertisers that have boarding
.accommodations to dispose of, or that have .
rooms to hire, he will find the admonition,
“no children! ” appended to almost every no
tification that there are rooms to ipent, or
board to be secured. “Single gentlemen,”
“gentlemen and their wiveß,” “a gentleman
for breakfast and tea,” “table-boarders,” or
“a few respectable mechanics” can find
shelter for their heads, rest for
their limbs and food for their stom
achs; but “no children” is the in
flexible rule, and if there are juvenile
encumbrances,the proprietors thereof find the
doors of all letters of lodgings and dispensers
of board shut against them, to the distraction
of 'the parents of the innocent little bug
bears.
Everyvfrequeuter of the sea-shore in sum
mer,has semhoff the coast, of a fine morning,
swarms of gulisvwheeling through the air,,
flapping their win|m and screaming with'- de
light as they.pluflgeNlown into the troubled
surface of the water to drag, hence some
squirming little “moss-banker,” which is
doomed for the ornithological breakfast.
Old “beaefiers” explain that the appearance
of-these little fish near the surface is a sign
that there are larger fish below, which, hun
gry for prey, drive their little finny
relations into the mouths of the
ravenous, gulls above, and so - the little
“mosß-hanker” has a hard time of it between'
the gulls and the suapping-mackereL Chil
dren, or their .parents for them, have about
as harsh an experience in our modem civiliz
ation. When the hardhearted dispenser of
boarding-house short-commons and the pro
prietors of lodgitogß-to-let have done their
worst, the desperate parent seeks to find a
home of his own, where his, little one? will
not be looked upon as a pest. Ten chances
to one but the landlord is no believer in
children,or at least in any body's children but
his own, and the forlorn, parent must look
long and anxiously before he can find shelter.
When the figurative vine and fig-tree, or
foot-tree; has at length been secured after
great tribulation, Bridget comes upon
the scene, and she either lays down “no
children” at all as her ultimatum, or she dic
tates a minimum juvenile population as a
condition precedent to an engagement to pre
side in the‘kitchen. As all housekeepers are
not as amiable and obliging as the fond parent
who proposed to drown off a few of the
children because Biddy objected .to their
number, the juveniles stand in the way of a
clinched bargain, and the cooking and scrub
bing department suffers in consequence.
If the male youngster should haply run the
gauntlet of selfish boarding house keepers,
stony-hearted landlords and obdurate Bid
dies, and survive the hard rubs that American
adolescent life is heir to, he finds himself in a
new sea Of troubles when he is launched from
the parent stocks to work his oWn way
through the world. If the boy be sensible,
he looks about him for a trade in the hope of
’advancing himself in life, and also of be
coming a good and useful member of society.
In this laudable pursuit he finds plenty of
trades where, if he were to become a compe
tent workman, he could earn a comfortable
livelihood and fit himself to engage in busi
ness upon his own account; he finds plenty of
employers who would gladly engage his ser
vices; but he aIBO finds some stupidly selfish
organization of journeymen in the, same line
of business, who are believers in the
“no children” of modem philanthropists,
and these selfish people say that the willing
employer not take the apprentice, and
that the willing young hands shall not find
useful and honorable employment, to the ad
vancement of the general welfare and the ele
vation of American mechanical skill.
Upon the whole, it is a moot question,
which is the most stupid—the Malthusian plan
that would check the growth of population
for fear of the lack of bread, when there are
millions upon millions of broad acres that
await the coming of the tardy husbandman—
or the “no children” system, that drives the
tender infant from the shelter of a hired roof,
and then remorselessly hunts the willing
youth into pauperism or crime.

teresting address of Mr. John Welsh, .delivered

The Registry Caw—Armament Before
the Supreme Court. . ,
Supreme Court.— Chief Justice Thompson ■
Strong, Read;* Aguew and Sliars
wood,—Yesterday afternoon the -bill in equity,
designed to test the Constitutionality of the Reg
istry Act, was taken up, George W.' Biddih open
ing: the argument for the complainants. He
cited the provisions in the Constitution regulat
— ing tho-eleetive franchise, and comparing these;;
with, the Registry Act, held them to be inconsis
tent and the latter unconstitutional.; : r
This morning tho argument was resumed,
Henry M. Phillips, for thecomplainants, address
ing the Court. He first; discussed the right of
the complainants to relief in the manner pro
posed, quoting authorities'to sustain his propo
sition; He next took up the question of the
constitutionality of tho , act. The Constitution
. says elections shall “be free and equal." This
act proposed a partisan test for voters, and there
fore conflicts with the Constitution.' This act
. obliges the alderman to. ascertain to which po
litical party the canvassers belong. This is the first
time such a thing has ever been attempted in
Ttllfl prevents the election bsing
’ f hero aro some' provisions in this act
i “ not b 0 carried out. One is that which
to-comO. forward more than, ten
days beiore the election and prove a" residence 1 of
ten days ; next, it declares that the canvassers ;
r s? fl ,P r onl E those-who have voted at a pra
ni,t D nr B*2„,hat„ ,hat !1 man who happens to be
??|° day of the previous election is
SjfeK iIVW: Constitution gives,
him the right which this act takes from him.
Suppose “a white-freeman.” over the age of
twenty-one years, who has lived in the State one
year, and in hls election division ten days before :
. election, and who has paid a state or
county *mjin .*lnro .ye»rs. offrtrshis
.vote? Ho Is rejected.- Why? . Because
of this set of legislature, i Yet the Constitutlm
declares »bat. tho voters with the above quali
fications shall have the riirht.to.vote. ' • •
. Another deficiency In the act is that it Imposes
• ojpon Justices of rho ■ Peace dntics not judicial.
;To impose snch duties is unconstitutional. The
tabe opon themselves the
, duties imposed by this act, and hence a majority'
purposes may decide not to act, ana
yet if th< . :ct be constitutional every voter Is dis
franchised because tbero is rio registry. ■
V.MT; Bawle,followed on thoother side. If the
«ybt of franchise is so sacred, it is worth some
trongo to secure it. This court will not iotcr
xerc byipjancllon upon ttje irround tijat & wroocr
may be done. Wears not to presume that any
voters vote will be wrongfully received orro
jteted. The taxpayer’s bill is destitute of merit,
because the court>lll not interfere if It Is right!
although it may castthe city a .large amount of
money. . . ..... . ... ~

H ere was a regulation brtheE-gfelature of the law of
evidence in Mich cares, wbfeu differed from the general
law of the land, in that it » ermit ted a p*rty° to be a wit
ness in bla own case. This is important to be observed in
view of a subsequent part cf tho argument
In l©6 a registry Uw was passed (act of I6tli Jans, 1838,
PfliDphietXaws, 6<i2) by which tho were to pro
vide a registry, which Hit, duly attested by the sheriff.
wab tot>* deemed and tofren to be the only and cooclu
eivo evidence of tho <jua«ificaUo»3 of tho electors.
, Theptsssgeof thi, set is certainly some evidence In
favor of the constitutionality pf the prepent act. The
complainants pretend that the repeal of this lawbvtho
geuei al election act of IJKI, was in eontcaoenee of the
ftteftidmert to the constitution in 1838, which changed
ihe liniit of.as«M,men» from six montheto ten diva: Bui
this shows a want of knowledge of the" history'of the
timrs. The net of I*3o fdrawn bv a gentleman who was
then aprominent politician nnd who was soon after At
tornev-tjeneral) w as üßssed as a strictly party measure, it
raised at opre. os will be rememherrd bymanvnt this
riorm of opposition, long before the amended con

positc forty came info power in ]V3?. just as the Keglstrv

Stun* opposite party liad the majority in the Hegls.
Mr. Rawle referred to the provisions of ton Registry’
law, and called attention to the, fact that it Usd never
‘he-Legl.latiirehad no r.ght to prescribe
the mode of fttoblljhlngtho right to exercise the elective
tronenire. Tbc evidence required fa peculiar, and differ
ent frorn that allowed in n conrt of /ii.tice; but no one
bar asserted that this wae unconstitutional. Admitting
the Prepositions of the other Bide, tiio entiro act of IKS
Is not to he held nnconfititutional. merely because part of
cor<li E B the' most-stringent and literal
construction, be deemed to be impossible of
performance. A, registry law embraces - only
Ibore who can be. regwtered. If there be a class
or three classes of voters. to whom, by its terms, it cannot
apoly. toosec asses will simply be excepted from its ope
ration.. It will bo held that tho law never intended to
apply to thcm.and their care will eemo nnder tho old law,
which, of course, is not repealed aa to them. Ti„, He voter!
would, therefore, be held entitlod to vote nnder the act of
1839. to wbirh this act la expressly declared to be a supple
ment. But It is submitted that no Court will judicially
repeal as entire registry net, because, by reason of doubt
ful language, there is, lnlita opinion. a class of voters to
whom, and to whom only, tho act does not apply.
District-Attorney Mann followed, and referred to the
advantages to-be derived-from' this law. It places in a
board separated from the election officcretheduty of ex
amining too qualifications of voters before the day of
eleiUon. The rights of toe-people, under the Constitution,
are not aflectcd. Tlio Constitution prescribes the qualifl.
cations of a voter; but it docs say wbatsbaU baproof
of these nnolificiltions. Putting tho name on a Kegistry is
pot a, qualification. It is a confusion of words to call it a
qualification." The act does not. make any additional
qualifications, but treats of the three qualifications
already established. The real intent and meaning of the
act was to mahle citizens In advance to establish (heir
right to vote, and relievo them of the necessity of pro
dneing the proof on election day. when all Is turmoil and

made by rfcilsdelphians and some Block firms here. Sales

th° view- of breaking the market a*»d

sorbs tne supply of tho large Government dealers more
rapidly than they can .burnt the market ahd without
advancing prices too rapfdly. Influential foreign firms
are in favor of lower piicep, ns they have orders to bav
considerable amounts; and they are naturally desirous of
buying fhtin at lower prices, if possible. At sl* aL tbe
