[Correspondence of the PbfledelpM* Evening Bulletin. J
WisHiNOTosiJnne 24,1868.— Yesterday, In thi
Benate, petitions were presented by Sen
ators Howard, Bayard, Frelinghuyeen, Edf
innnda and Cattell, from Dr. Wm. Notaon;
Charles Foster, arid nnmerons others, soldiers of
the war of 1812, living In Philadelphia, in which
they shy that the sbldlers of iho late civil war were
rewarded with a munificence unexampled In the
history of nations. They received, in most In
stances, bounties hitherto unheard of;
liberal pay and - sufficient . clothing from
the government Cities, counties and States
vied with each other in contributing to their
comforts, and the nation did Immortal -honor to
Ut elf in thus rewarding Its gallant defenders.
Bnt, they ask, how £6 Itwith the Soldiers of 1812?
They did not receive one cent of bounty. The
volunteers provided their uniforms, -. the; officers
tbelr side-arms, and the militiamen their cloth?
tag, at their own expense. They were not paid
till four or five months, or even a longer period,
after the Government alleged they were dis
charged—whereas the! soldiers of the late war
were paid when discharged, In par money, while
those who served In the War of 1812 received de
preciated treasury notes for their services, _and
the privates only eight dollars per month. They
pray therefore that the surviving officers and
privates of the War of 1812 may .receive pen
sions and be placed upon the ponslon roll. j
This comparison made bv the old soldiers
seemed to take well with the Senators,,and their
petitions were referred to the Committee on Pen
sions, with a special request to give their atten
iion to this eloquent appeal. It seems strange,
however, that all the petitions were fprwmded to
denature from other States to present The old
veterans -seeded to be* oblivions of the fact that
Pennsylvantahas two Sena tore in the body. ;

wilfcresume consideration of the tariff bill which
failed in the House last year, and enact It Into a

These petitions were referred to the Committee

A NBV INVENTION TO SECURE CHEAPER GAS.
Yesterday M. Hall Stanton and Joseph Manuel,
Esqs., ol the Gas Trußt in your city, paid us a
visit to witness some experiments m the manu
facture of gas by a new invention, from coal tar
and petroleum, which it is claimed will produce
gas at a much cheaper rate than the present
method. The inventors have not vyet put their
works in operation, so Messrs. Stanton and
Manuel were unable to witness a practical
demonstration ol the merits of the invention,
and left for home. A bill has been in
troduced into Congress, In corpora ting a company,
to be called the ‘‘Washington and Georgetown
Coal Tar Gas Company,” for the purpose of es
tablishing another gas-works here, with all the
necessary buildings, reservoirs, &c., required,
and to lay pipes through, all the streets of the
two cities. The company intend using the new
invention for making gas, and guarantee to fur
nlsh all public buildings and private houses with
gas at $5 per 1,000 feet, which 1b $1 less than the
rates how charged. They are to commence lay
tag down gas pipes within 90 days after the
passage of the act. Their capital stock Is not to
txeec-d'55,000,000, to be divided into shares of
$l,OOO each. The Committee on the District haS
the proposition now under consideration.
THE CONTRACT FOE FEINTING INTERNAL REVENUE
STAMTS, i
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
haß not awarded the contract for print
ing Internal Revenue Btamps, which has been
In abeyance for some time. There are only three
establishments in the United States where these
notes can be printed—Butler & Carpenter’s en-.
graving house in, Philadelphia, and the National
•and American Bank Note Companieß.of New York
City. It is understood that as soon as the new
tax bill Is diapered of, proposals will be adver
tised for offices to print the stamps, which; will
Blace the work In the market for competition.
oth the New York companies are very desirous
of securing the contract, and there will be a
sharp contest over it. It, seems that Butler &
Carpenter, of your city, have made no effort
lately, looking to a renewal of their contract.
The work will be awarded under the direction df
the Secretary of the Treasury, and if the Phila
delphia firm does not compete, the work will in
evitably go to New York. Susquehanna, i

Under'this caption In. tho Press of this morn
ing is a criticism Of tho dusty roads in the Part,
which is equally just in. tenor qnd "courteous In
terms. The annoyance complained of un
doubtedly exists, and should: be removed, at the
earliest possible moment. ■! -
Itß cause, however, la morei-serious than, the
mere want of watering : lt lies In the construction
of the roads'. The water carts ore used daily at
bucU hours as they cafl be Allowed, but in the
afternoon, when the,.drives', ore- crowded, with
visitors, it is obviously improctfcahle to rnn.theso
maGhlnes, The material of the river road bed Is
such as becomes dusty: in a' few hours tinder the
actlon'of sunahlne anu travel, and the true remedy
will be to construct it anew with better material.
This we may confidently hope will be done as
soon as. the appropriation is ,mado for' the ex

Tbe One Hnnared and, Twenty-!lrat
Commencement.
Pbincetow, Jane 24.— Thin ‘ venerable Institu
tion has reached Its obo hundred-and twenty
first year. Nearly five thousand sons have gono
forth from her walls, of whom about three thons
eand are still living. This is an honorable record,
(•specially when it Is recollected that daring near
ly.aU these years she: has been dependent upon
i.er earnings, and not upon Stato aid or funds.
Tbe enterprise and faith of her teachers, in Other
words, have accomplished these great resnlts in
the cause of education. No person not familiar
with the financial condition of the Col
lege,and yet aware of her repntatlon, would have
dreamed.thatthltfyyearßsgo she had scarcely any
capital.besides herbulldlfig and apparatus,or that;
Ull within five years past all her mveated funds
scarcely reached 9100,000, and that even now, j
after several years of effort, and after some of Us;
friends have made princely contributions, these!
funds of all kinds scarcely reach a quarter of a,
million dollars; aixty thousand dollars of this has
been recently contributed as a fund fOrdbo-eup-:
Sort of the President, One hundred: thousand;
ollars haa been glvenby JohnC. Green. Esq., <
a merchant of New Tork,- to addtO'its buildings
and library. SO that with all Its advance there i
is still mneh to bo done tomakeltthoroughly;
furnished to every good work. - The liberal;
gift of General N. N. Hoisted, of Newark,;!
deserves mention. - • This gentleman has built an s
| enduring monumentto himself inthe erection of!
a large and substantial observatory at a cost of
940,000. This Is to be furnished with a larger l
telescope than is now mounted in the country,;
and with bli the appliances needed for scientific
investigation. This stands as an example of
whatallttle earnest andliberal effort can accom
plish. If many go and do likewise, this coliega
may In a few years attain to a hlgirposltion, and;
become celebrated for the facilities it affords for
education. Tbe exercises of .this festal: week be-:
, gan yesterday morning, wltb tbe annual address ,
before the societies. This was: delivered by;
Thomas N. McCarter, Esq., of Newark, N. J.
His theme, “The '■Relations of Scholars to the
Institutions of their country,” was bandied in an:
able and judicious manner,: and was calculated
to rouse educated men to exert a conservative in-,
finenco upon the public opinion, and. the igstitn-’
tiona of their time. , , , ;
. Tbe Alumni men according to appointment, in l
the College Cbapei—the Bev. Dr. C.C. Beatty, of:
Steubenville, Ohio, in the Chair. A constitution:
was adopted as a plan of organization; for the;
society, and every member of the Board of Trus
tees and Faculty, or, who have beCn members of
the same, was voted a member of thla AlumnL
Instead of a formal, addreßS, the custom here
is to call out certain classes—one year the odd,;
and the’next year the even years, Who respond ■
through one or more of their members. This
gives a pleasant freedom and variety, and, at the
. same time, great interest to the proceedings. FJ
F. Westcott, Esq., responded for the class of
; 1858. ‘. Bey. James McM. Crowell, D. D., gave
come interesting account of the class of 1818.
He was followed by General Belknap, of Keokuk,
Iowa;. - Dr. Collins, of Baltimore, and tho Pre
sident spoke on behalf of thedass of 1818; tbe
Bev. Dr. Rogers, of New'Jersey; for. that of 1815,:
an d Hon. William C. Alexander made some sug
, gestions on behalf of those re tired Alumni whose
names are not enrolled in the ’ world’s history;
and yet are highly .' useful. An [examination of
. these cases shows that, education- Is . never lost;
but always tells in some form forgopdupon the
community. : • - •
The report of the Necrology of the year pre
sented the following names: Hon. Joseph Ri
Ingersoll, Pa., class of 1804 ; Hon. James M.
Wnyne,Ga., class of 1808: Hon. Philip B. Fen

Mexico, June 10, 1808—Of courso we haye
our usual kidnappings, robberies, murders, as
sassinationß, 4k. What city or country does not? ‘
jiexlco dty can figure up for the month of May
only 1,407 arrests, according to her official report,
while the press <pf the capital has its customary
record of all manner of crime. We have, on the
one hand, the death of General Andrade, late
secretary of the Governor of Puebla, from the
e ffects of wounds received at. tho hands of Mr.
Manuel Asplroz, a member of the city council
of Puebla ; and, on the othpiw the pardon
of Sergeant Isidore Rodriguez,, by the Pre
sident, for the part taken by him = m joining
the' revolutionary forces of.Aureliaho Rivera.
However, we have to record that It is very uncer
tain what, If any. pnnlehment will be dealt out'
to Domingo Benitez lor his attempted robbery of
a jewelry establishment and hiS murder ot se
veral persons who attempted to arrest him in his
filghficrimes committed some months, since upon
the persons' and' property of,foreigners. It ls ;
very, evident that a powerful effort is being made
in every quarter to prevent'the dispensing of jus
dee in this case, as already weeks and months of
delay hove been effected, and talented legal ad
visees defend him. The late worthy exam
ple of forgiveness. sot by President Juarez
has been beneficial to our distinguished
Governor, ‘ Juan Jose Baz,' who lately en
gaged in a personal encounter with two men and;
a woman on the ‘grand Plaza, he receiving the
: worst of the fight, which was only terminated by
the police taking tbe.entire party to the lock-up
(not including Governor Baz of course). In this
case the femme combatant did not meet with, fair
play, the baldnesß. of . Juen.Joße’s cranium not
admitting of hair-pulling or other feminine;
methods of warfare. After a temporary imprison
ment. the. Governor exercised his authority and
his clemency and'ordered a jail delivery in their
cases. Ahtohlo Noriega makes a descent upon
Real del Monte end carries off money -and pro
perty. The malls are robbed in the ritate of Mi
ehoacan; Negrete, Rivera, Julio Lopez r Betan
zos and others are. pn the war path, and Mexico
is still on the highway to self destruction.
The troops and their commander, General Ala
torre, who have been employed since December
last in suppressing tho rebellion in Yucatan,have
returned, and thp latter is Spoken of, as possible
successor of GeneralDlaa in the command of the
division, of tho East Although the troops re-!
mained but a few hours in Vera. Cruz, in transit
to JarapfsiheyspemedparHculariy susceptible, to
iheromfio. Twoofllcers and fifly-fahr men were
attacked by the disease shortly after, leaving thq
city, General Jimenez has arrived here from
Guprrero, and it is expected he will receive ex
ecutive pardon, .
The In tern a tional American and Mexican Eall-j
road Company, erganizedln New York city, to
build Mexico city to Tnxpan, is
represented here by its superintendent and several
American gentlemen, who have arrived out hem
as engineers. Tuxpan is said to he a remarkably'
healthy plate, and has been some time since
selected by an American colony as a place of
residence. This colony has been increasing for
the last year and ahalf, and especially during the
last six months. The Superintendent of the
Tuxpan Railroad. is now in treaty with' Mr.
Vicente de la Fnente for the purchase of a suit
able building for the offices of the company and
in which to establish a bank, which, it teannoun-
Ctd, will be a feature additional to the railroad
enterprise. Negotiations .me pi ß o stated toj
be under way for the purchaSh xn an available
piece of ground for the depot within the city and
near its finest park. I also am informed that a
contract for the ties of this end of the road.which!
is to be immediately built, will soon bn completed,
and that an abundance of competent engineers
and railroad contractors are now here awaiting
the* Actual commencement of the labor, whicn
will take placeupon the arrival of General Rosen
cranz, the appointed engineer in-chief, who is
expected at any moment. Materials are also ex
pected. It is a notorious fact that the Congress
in no way interfered with the concession,as with,
others, and there is no reason why the road can
not be immediately poshed to completion. The
line to Tnlancingo is 38 leagues, and mast be
completed in one year.
tTgnacio. Mariscal, late' Charge d’Affalres of
Mexico in the United States, is nominated by
several influential parties and by the press to a
seat upon the Supreme Court bench. This body
will organize ae a Grand Jury to pass its judg
ment upon Governor Cuervo on the 20th of this
month.
Probably the most serious confusion which has
occurred in the Palace of late has been occasioned
by the taking of the oath of office on the sth
of this month by M. Lerdo de Tojado as Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court. Tnis gentlemen
has for a year been filling'the first seat In the
Cabinet of President Juarez ae' Minister ef Rela
tions, and by special permission of Congress has
been suffered to retain his seat m that
body, to which he was .elected. Having been
chosen as Chief Justice, by virtne thereof, he
also became Vice President of theßepablla, thus
becoming at once Chief Justice, Vice. President!
Secretary of State and for Foreign Relations,and
also a member of Congress. The Bench , of Jus
tice viewed the last two aa incompatible with the
former and refused, by a vote oi seven to five, to
grant permission for him to occupy them all.
and farther have claimed that, by taking the oath
as Chief Jnstjee, he virtually, without further
formal action, has vacated. his portfolio in the
President’s Cabinet. ThiC has been a surprise to
all, and a great one tothe President, in regard
to whose action relative thereto all kinds of
rumors have prevailed. Just at this ' mo
ment of writing it is currently believed that
Mr. Lerdo haß agreed to accept of the situation,
at leust lor the present, and that President Jua
rez contemplates a trip to Oajaca, his native
State, to recruit, thus leaving Mr., Lerdo as act
ing President. Ip' the meantime . Mr., Ospiroz,
who has been connected with, the office of For
eign Relations for some time, .wlU,:id. far as.llea
in bis power, nerform the duties of the office, at
least tul the Presldentshall.either decide to ap
point a new minister, or the Congress, which
meets in tho month of September, shall discover
some unknown method of coming! to the relief
of tho President and Mr. Lerdo.

as to justify an apprehension of still'worse treat
merit, I feel bound to bring the foltawlngclrcum->
stances under the notice of the Consuls General:;
lly mother-in-law.-the Pnncesa Mnmtag Ko
dln, died on January 9th last, and, as her solo
heir, according to Mussulman law, I entered the:
same day. on the possession of her property. .1,
gave the instruction for the administration of;
the real property, and took into myserviee the ;
establishment of the late. Princess., Matters took;
theirregular course, until : the 14th of April last, j
the season when preparations for the wheat har- : ;
Test are usually begun. On :• that day my . farm :
bailiff was summoned, to waif upon the, mndir
of Oarbleb, governor of the' province, and' he >
was detained the.whole day at the divan without;
a word being said to him. When evening came j
my bailiff aeited permission' to return to ms busl-.
ness, bnt he was told to remain at Tanter,and toi
. come to the nradlriehnext morning. The same
evening, however, while going through the town
looking for a lodging, ho rnet o person .unknown
to him, who tried to quarrel with him. and sud
denly seized him by the collar and cried, but for
help, The police cavasßea at once appeared on
the spot, arrested the bailiff, .pnt him in prison, •
, and the next morning sent him to the mndirieh,;
where bo still remains. . . -- ■ .■; !
. On being - informed o/ this, I sent on my farm '
another bailiff, who reported to me that the labor-'
era and other men on the farm bad boon ordered 1
to refuse to work. My bailiff accordingly em-‘
ployed sOine strangers in their place-tint T on the
lath of Moharram, the Nemr-el-Klsm; a chief'
of the:, department, arrived about• three>
o’clock; after midnight and had these men arrestedl
and Imprisoned. .Thereupon my bailiff returned,
to Cairo to Inform me of what had occurred, so:
that I should understand that vf'e wefe exposed.to j
a predetermined persecution, against whlcli It was.
impossible to maintain our-rignts. 'Under these;
circumstances I decided to seffthoßtan-;
ding crops and tb. let the farms.: On the' 16th;

obtained vague and meaningless answers, amouut-'

business of mine; the affair belongs to the Bot-el-
Wal (Court of Wards), which has given direct
orders without our knowledge.”
The last acts of violence being the culmination
of a series of arbitrary acts of which I have been
a long time a victim,, and being anxious that tho
outrages committed bn.my servants should not
eventually reach my own person, I wish to place
myself under the moral protection’of your pow
eilnl authority, until, the Sultan, my august
sovereign, In whose justice I put my whole con

which I have submitted to the appreciation of his

POIjITIOAIi.
An Old Democrat on Grant.
jHon. Isaac N. Morris, an old and- Influential
Democrat of Qnlncy, Illinois, made a long and
able speech lately, in favor of Grant and Colfax.
The conclusion.of it was as follows:
“If yon ask me to forget the rebellion—lf yon
ask me to blot ont from my recollection the
memory of the five hundred thousand brave pa
triots who died that their country might live—
some of whose graves you have been strewing
affectionately to-day with ilowors, sweot emblems
of gratitude—if ypu ask me to shut my eyes to
tho widows; and orphans, and maimed soldlbrs
left by the war—if you ask me to assist in- re
storing to power treason and traitors or their
auxiliaries—if you ask me to embrace men whose
hands are stained with the precious blood of our
fallen heroes, and who only .wait for a favorable
opportunity to overthrow the'government, 1 tell
yon frankly I am not with you In that. ~
“If you ask me to lift my voice against the
great Captain to whom we are more Indebted
for our preservation as a nation than to any. other
living man, and who has written his principles
with the point of his sword; on the national
records, and unstamped his fidelity to liberty On
the national heart, I tell youplainly I cannot 1 do
that. I claim to have Borne little gratitude left.
The ensuing-four years will, in my judgment, be
the most dangerous and eVentfnlin onr. history,
and we must nave one at the head of the Gov
ernment wh6 will be equal to the emergency, or
we will sink under the weight of a crushing
revolution. No tremulous' hand must be
-at the - helm,; nO politician ■ who will
seek only bis own interest at the expense of
national security. I need hardly add that, if Hive
until November and can reach tho polls, appeal
ing to the God of Hosts' for the recti tudeof my
intentions, and believing I shall be serving the
best Interests of humanity and my country—be
lieving there is a necessity .which rises far above
conventional platforms, and party demands, re-,
qnlring every patriotic citizen to do his duty—E
snail cast my vote, Democrat though I have,
olways heen, for the incorruptible patriot,: the
best ilSogo of character, and tho host thinker I
know In .the United States, Ulysses. 5,,. Grant;,
and. go thon and do likowiso, counting it. a great
privllcgo." i = j
“I would father have Grant, If ho’s silent, and
still. ;
Than an empty declalmer of words; ■;■*_ - • s
I would rather have Grant with his good honest
Than one from noisy political herds., . . j
«'* His deeds are all written in thefacQof tpo.world,'
And he who desires can read them afar;' ' ;
