THE DISTRICT ATTORETSHIP.
In another column will be found a letter
from Isaac Hazlehurst, Esq., requesting the
immediate withdrawal of his name as a can
didate lor the District Attorneyship. Mr.
Hazlehurst would have made an excellent
and creditable officer, and it is to be regretted
that he could hot be retained as a candidate
and elected. But for the sake of “perfect
harmony in the ranks of the Republican
party,” he withdraws, and his motive will be
appreciated. The Convention _to nominate
a District Attorney will re-assemble next
Thursday, and it is expected that a candidate
Will be chosen on whom all the party can
unite harmoniously.
LIGHT WANTED.
Nothing so scandalous in the history of a
great modem city has ever been recorded as
the fact of last night, that there was no gas,
except in a district that has the good fortune
to be supplied by a corporation. All the
charges and complaints made against the
■—Trustees of the Gas Works sink into insig
nificance before the great fact that, under
their management, such a condition of things
should arise. It has not been the habit of
this paper to countenance or encourage
Strikes, among workmen of any kind. But
such a thing as a strike at the Gas Works
should never have been allowed to occur.
When the convenience and comfort of a vast
population, and the safety of their persons
and property are concerned, there should be
no hesitation about promptly meeting the
emergency of a demand for higher wages.
If the demand should be extortionate, there
conld be'subsequent arrangements made, and
in time, with the existing superabundance of
labor, men could be found to do the work at
a reasonable price.
The excuse is offered that some of the Trus
tees were out of town when the advance was
made, and that there was no aompetent au
thority to comply with it This shows a
radical detect in the management of the Gas
Works. Bucb works should be so organized
that they should never be without intelligent
and energetic management, fully competent
to meet any difficulty. If an individual or a
corporation, after contracting to supply to a
vast population one of the necessaries of life,
and possessing a monopoly of the article,
... should suddenly say it was not convenient to
do it, there would be such a clamor raised as
would probably lead to a popular disturb
ance. The case of the Gas Trustees is equally
aggravating, and the people of Philadelphia
are to be commended for enduring the wrong
inflicted on them so patiently. If the absent
Gas Trustees fail to return instantly and strive
to stop the injury they have brought upon the
population, they will prove themselves utterly
unworthy of their positions.
P. S. —Since the above was putin type, the
Gas Trust haß acceded to the terms of the
workmen, and the supply of gas is resu med.
A card from Mr. Brown, the Engineer, in an
other column, advises consumers to use it
economically this evening.
ADJOCBN.
In less than'four months the Presidential
election will take place. The time is short,
but as a large majority of the people of the
United States are in favor of Grant and Col
fax, there is not a great deal of campaign
work to be done, beyond the ordinary routine
of meetings, organization and canvassing of
wards, cities, counties and states. Still, this
is important work, and it ought to be as
careiully and thoroughly done now, as it
would be in a doubtful contest. Grant and
Colfax ought to be elcqted by a majority like
that given to Lincoln; for the moral weight
of great numbers, in a popular election, al
ways tells upon the action of the victors, and
Grant and Colfax, elected by a rousiag
majority, will have an administration much
more efficient than it would De if they only
got in, through the over-confidence or in
difference of Republican voters, “by the skin
of their teeth.”
In view of the work to be done by both
parties in the election canvass, Congress
. ought to adjourn in a very few days. So
large a part of the session was unhappily lost
trough the impeachment" business, that
' there has not been much time left for the
legislation necessary for the good of the
conntry. The consequence iB that now, in
the moßt fervid heats of summer, all sorts of
crude, quixotic and ill-considered projects
with regard to the finances are sprung upon
the country, and people have not the nerve or
•the patience to instruct their representatives
upon the various points that are thus suddenly
presented to them. It is pretty certain that
at any other time than this torrid one, the
constituents of Hr. Stevens, in Lancaster
county, would let him know that in advoca
ting a quasi repudiation of the national debt,
as he did yesterday, he was not faithfully
representing them. We have no idea that
the notions of Mr. Stevens and Mr. Butler,
on this subject, will prevail in Congress, any
more than the similar notions of the Tam
many platform will prevail at the polls ia
November. But “they are disturbing and
time-wasting, -and the people want no more
.of them.'
Therefore we urge the speedy adjournment
~ cfCdcgrese. There is not a great deal of
important legislation to be done. Certainly
there Is not much that can be well done at
this season of the year, and with members of
both Houses, and their constituencies, pre
occupied with the Presidential campaign.
The people are alive‘to the fact that this elec
tion is one of the most important that lias
ever occurred. Every public man, and every
true-hearted citizen, feels that he has work
to do himself, and he wants to do it well-
They see no probability of advantage from
any. legislation on finances at this late period
of the session, and they would like Congress
to defer it till next session, when the election
will be over, and members will have a chance
to confer anew with their respective consti
tuencies upon financial and all other subjects.
So let us have an immediate adjournment.
FEDERAL FAVORS GOING BEGGING.
There iB something in the plucky self-reli
ance of the true New Englander which com
mands respect. Where other people
desire to lean on some patronage-dispensing
power, the true Yankee relies on himself
alone, and he maintains his independence
despite political revolutions or commercial
changes and combinations. In the old
time before the war, New Eagland, as a
whole, was generally jn the minority in nn
ional politics ; but it never swerved from
principle, it kept on in the even tenor of its
way despite personal and sectional abuse,and
it contrived to live without obtaining much
in the way of comfort from the crumbs
which fell from the Federal table. During
thiß time the South was living by Slavery and
Politics, and the people of the Middle and
Western States generally kept a sharp eye
for the “main chance" where government in
stitutions were to be located or government
funds were to be expended.
■With characteristic originality and inde
pendence the people of Charleßtown and '
Boston are now engaged in agitating the
removal of the United States Navy Yard
from the first named city, and the matter has
been brought to the attention of Congress-
It is claimed by the city of Charlestown aud
the merchants of Boston that the Naval
station is of no positive benefit to the section,
and that it ought to have been discontinued
long ago. Its water front-is too limited for
iis purpose, and the growing demands of the
commerce of both Boston and Charlestown
require its discontinuance. At present the
latter city has but a very limited water front
1 for vessels of large size, the land occu
f pied by the Yard embracing at least one-half
of the available area for commercial and pri-.
vate purposes. Its discontinuance also would
create a large tract of territory for building
purposes, and enable the city to extend its
facilities for increasing its wealth and use
fulness as a port of entry. Tue Yard also
interferes with convenient bridge communi
cations between Boston aud Charlestown aud
the growing town of Chelsea. Tnese disad
vantages are in the way of the outshooting of
the territorial spokes of the “Hub,” and the,
shrewd people of that portion of the Old Bay
State wisely prefer a clear field and no favors,
to snch uncertain advantages as depend upon
the whim of a Secretary of the Navy.
Whether the Government will consent to an
abandonment of this station after building a
dry-dock there, and making other costly im
provements, is of course, ncaertain. It is at
least certain that there is a refreshing novelty
in the fact of the people of a city asking to
be relieved of a source of Federal pap.
Mr. Philip Syng Physick and the other es
timable but short-sighted citizens, who
signed the famous remonstrance against the
introduction of gas in Philadelphia, in No
vember, 1838, did not have in view the ex
perience of last night, when they said in their
memorial that gas was “an uncertain light,
sometimes suddenly disappearing and leaving
streets and bouses in total darkness." The
remark fitted the- emergency extremely well,
however, as it would have fitted it one? be
fore when a freshet in the Schuylkil flooded
the Works, and did for the city what striking
workmen and poor management did last
night. An English poet once spoke of water
aB a thing that was “rarely prized but sorely
missed,” and the same idea in respect to gas
doubtless occurred to about five hundred
thousand people of Philadelphia last night,
when they found their usual source of anifi
cial light cut off, and they were compelled to
resort to such tallowy, waxen and oily make
shifts as were known to house and
storekeepers thirty years ago. The
Bri.i.ExiN had given timely notice o.
the anticipated - gas famine, and most citi
zens had taken the precaution to procure
other means of procuring light. Limps in
the handß of some dealers went up two hun
dred per cent., and the grocers soon disposed
of their slock of dips aDd stearines. Candles
were the favorite substitute for the absent gaß,
and candles as a general thing could be readily
obtained; but what to find to put them in
was the rub. Candlesticks and snuffers are
as strange in modern housekeeping as the
ancient andirons or shovels and tongs, and
the extemporized sconces were varied and
sometimes comical. .Bottles were most used
for the purpose, and the incongruity
was seen in " many stores and houses
of elegant apartments and costly furniture and
surroundings dimly lighted by candles, which,
flaring in the evening breeze, sent tallowy
streams down the sides of empty bottles.
The deprivation of gas had its humorous
phases, but a very little of such iun goes a
great way. In fact, one night's experience
has been quite sufficient.
The striking bricklayers of New York have
formed a business association, and having
opened an office, they invite orders for con
tracts and jobs. This expedient is almost as
old as the relation of employer and employe.
The usual effect of it is that the shrewdest,
thriftiest and most prudent members of the
association get themselves started in busiaess
through its agency, while the majority, who
do not possess those qualities in so large a
degree, speedily, relapse into thqir old position
of full journeymen and nothing more. We
; would like to have the opinion of the employ
; ing associators five years hence upon
I certain points that are now in dispute. They
! might be asked, for instance, what they think
of btipg foible den. to take apprentices; of
j not berng allowed to “lend a hand” upon
their own jobs ; of eight hours work, receiv
• ing ten hours pay, and also concerning the
THE DAILY EVEN]??ft BULLETIN,--PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, 4ULY 18, 1868.
fairness of the common practice of bringing
loss and ruin upon employ era by strikGS- for
higher wages, after they have taken heavy
contracts with a small margin for profit, and'
laid themselves open to grave penalties in the
event of a failure to come up folly and faith
fully to the terms of the bargain. The strik
ers who will then be in business upon their
o.wn exclusive account will doubtless take a
different view of these questions from tha l
which they profess to hold now.
As part of the history of the campaign, we
copy the address of Mr. William A. Wallace,
chairman of the Democratic State Committee.
It is about as false and malicious a piece of
misrepresentation as any that has come from
Mr. Wallace’s pen or lips during the last
seven years. We call attention to it, how
ever, especially, because it contains not the
slightest allusion, direct or indirect, to one
Francis P. Blair, Jr., who happens to be the
nominee for Vice President. It is quite evi
dent that Mr. Wallace has a grudge against
Mr. Blair. Who can explain it?
Lippincott’s Haiazlne for Anga«L
Lippincott's lor next mouth is a sparkling
number, mado up of items of travel, light musi

profound for the warm weather. Of the two
solid papers, “Our Globe in 1868” is an able
study, most clarifying to the mental vision, in
which are resumes the principal effortß for the ex
plorlng, colonization and enlightenment of the

"In a Month” is one of those slight, rapid crlti
eisms we spoke af, attached to a very slender
thread of narrative, by Miss Anne Brewster. An
entertaining sketch, apparently by a very intelli
gent amateur magazinist, is “A Month's Holiday
is Germany,” by Ellis Yarnali. A short, com
plete story, “A Winter's Night in a Wintry Place,’
is anonymous. “Alas, Poor Ghost," is an Hispano"
Atutrican wonder story, by Leonard Kip. A
good, but too short essay on manners is Mr.
Tuckerman’s "Leathern Men." The folly of the
supernatural claims of the toy called Planchette
is exposed in very good time, by Rov. J. W. Daf
ilela. A pretty musical sketch, “A Noctnrne by
Chopin,” is by C. F. Daniel. The poetry is by
R. Morris Smith, Edward E. Law, Edw. S. Cross
and Mrs. R. M. Tloopcr, whose “ Madame la Dal
cheese” we have copied out for another co'nmn.

There is a great pressure for the offices which

Beport of (be Committee on Ordnance,
Tbe Senate's Select Committee on Ordnance
have made a report in part on the purchases, con
tracts and experiments of the Ordnance Depart
in' nt. They eay the importance of the ioqulcy
will be appreciated when it is considered that
anting tbe late rebellion tho purchases, contracts
and experiments made by the Ordnance Depart
ment of the army alone, < r ... trial and supply
of projectiles of this c.ass, cost the Uuiu-d
Btates very nearly, if not altogether, the" sum
of $7,000,000; bnt more especially will it be
felt wben it ia remembered how at Fort Fisher,
Morris Island, and the many battle-fields
of ihe’Unlon this arm of tbe service from this
cause fulled, not only to realize the expecta
tions of tbe people, but did, in fact, largely con
tribute to the disasters which befell ns. Each of
the devices named Dyer had in tarn
been urgCtLcm the at entlon -of the department
during ibt first two years of tbe war, excepting
only the “Eureka” projectile, which, it seems,
was not presented to their consideration until
the tail of 1802. it appears, however, that in
September, 1863. under the advice and recom
m> ndution ol a duly constituted ordnance bond,
as approved by the Secretary of War, tho future
use of any of these devices in the service that
had been thus tested was limited to the Hotch
kiss, Puri oil, and dcoenck projectiles, and that a
very elaborate comparative trial of these three
wlb tben recommended with tho view of deter
mining wbicb wan the proper projectile to b# used
By thiß official act tbe Bayer, James, Dyer and
Absierdam projectiles were authoritatively cou
di mned, especially tbe so-called Dyer projectile.
The Secretary characterized the large earn which
hud been expended in its manufacture as a use
less ixpendiiure of pnbllc mouey. It appears
also that tbe so-called Amsterdam projectile ts in
every material respect the same as the so-called
Dyer projectile, ana that in every nature of things
tbe result with it wonld be tbe same. In view of
what bud tben taken place and all that has since
tronrpired the propriety of the decision of tbe
board, as approved by the Secretary, cannot be
questioned. Tbe committee are of the opinion
that it was justified by tbe most elaborate practi
cable demonstration. Pluinly enough, then,pur
chases, contracts and experiments made for the
trial and supply of any of these condemned de
vices attii September 28, 1863, were purchases,
contracts and experiments which should not
have been made, and all sneb purchases, con
tracts and experiments were not only made in the
face of adverse “reports of tbe field,” bnt were
in violation also of the official prohibition
of tbe head oi the department It will be ob
served by these official acts the Hotchkiss, Par
rott and Schenck projectiles were authoritatively
designated in September, 1863, as tho three
standard classes of rifle projectiles, and the com
mittee, in view of tbe testimony, accept said act,
and are fully satisfied it wus actuated by no
other motive on the part of the Board and the
Secretary than a manifest deßire to promote tbe
cause of the pnbllc good. This act of the Ord
nance Board, as approved by the Secretary of
"War, is presented thus prominently, because it
furntßbea a reliable point from which all the
subsequent acts of the department in
this relation may be justly determined; and
when it is considered that it received the sanction
of Colonel P. V. Hagner, Major A. B. Dyer,
Major T. T. 8 Laldley, Captain James G. Beaton,
Captain S. V. Bennett, Captain S. Crispin ana
Captain George T. Belcher, who were the officers
composing the board, it cannot be said the com
mittee have songht through iguorant or design
ing persons justification for the conclusion to
wbicn we have come. It was not until after the
adjournment of this board that tbe attention of
tbe hfpartment wag called to the Eureka projec
tile—a very recent invention, and which seems
to have impressed the Chiel of Ordnance,
General Kimsay, so favorably os to justify
him in directing a preliminary trial of its merits
at the. West Point battery early In the fall of 1863.
By the record which the committee present,
unassisted, they say, by any one or ia any res-
Sect, and reaffirmed by Colonel Benton on
is oath before tbe committee, “The Eureka
projectile was shown iu October, 1864, not Only
to excel in excellence either" of the three
classes of rifle projectiles, bnt in such a degree
seem tb leave nothing to be desired." Or,
in other words, if the trial to which it was
subjected originated in reason it was shown
to be, in the luDguage of said boird, “the
proper projectile to be ÜBed.” It Is clearly
proved that sufficient luflaonco had been
brought to bear upon the 1 irdnancu Department
by somebody to cause tbe so-called Dyer projec
tile to bo “udopted for the United States land
r service, land-it-jueeda.no _fiaggeBtion_from the

committee to enforce the view that in its .whole'
fcope this letter ia a simple declaration of Mr.
Dyer of bis claims.as on inventor. Major Dyer
was not the first person who proposed to make
espanding'projectiles "or rifle cauncmby casting
a base or cupof -soft metal in the body of the
projectile.--The commlttecrovlewcdthocondnct
of General Dyer atgreat length, concluding their
report as follows: •
Whereas the committee find that for evident
purposes of concealment the Chief of Ordnance
kept no record Id bis office of any df-these trans
actions, and the correspondence was destroyed
and was tbe'only written memorandum of the
many official acts to. which it related, and that
these destroyeddocuments were, in fact, in farm
and bobstanco official documents under which
the public business at said armories and arsenals
were influenced and controlled. The committee
arc of opinion that the good of the public eer.
vice requires the removal of General A. B. Dyer
from the position of Chief of Ordinance for the
reasons indicated m this report, and therefore
recommend the adoption of .the following resolu
tion :
Retolvcd by the Senate, the Route of Representa
tive* concurring, That the President be respect
lolly requested to remove Brevet Major General
A. B. Dy er from the position of Chief of Ordnance

June seven-thirty notes having expired, the Treasury de
partment win redeem them only at par* with tbe six
months of accrned interoat ad«ed.
[From to day*® N. Y. Worfd.l
Jixt 17.—Th** Government bond market opened strong
»t about tbe nicest! yesterday. w»th an active demand
for the foreign bonds. At the 2 ,P. M. call there was a
presrtu e of sales to realize p ©fit*. and prices fell oft from
}p to U per cent. butot tkedecllrcthere was an increased
demand, which continued to the dose and prices re
covered to the full advanco of tho day. The advance In
the price of gold is inducing a number of foreigo firms to
buy tho 18><2a and 1666 s and the recent shipments have
left a smsder stock on this market. The firmness of
prices in Enrobe, in tbe face of the advancing gold
market hero, is encoui aging holders to look
for a further advance in the ourrenoy quo
tations as gold becomes higher. Tho Ten for
ties have hccq rue up beyond their fair level, compared
with tbe 6 per cent bonds of 1867, tbe difference nov
beirg only l per cenL. instead of 2# to 2# per cent,which
were usual until this la*t speculative turn. The transac
tions in domestic bonds are chiefly speculative, and the
movement is not so active and strong as in the foreign.
There is an active borrowing demand forthc 1863 s and the
18C6e. The funding bills introduced into Congress this
week are looked upon as political buncombe* as even
those v bo introduced them are satisfied that none of
them have the leant chance of being passed this session.
The bill authorizing the issue of three p r cent certifi
cates* bowevfr, may become a law, and* if so* it will
assist materially in prolonging the ease in the money

Mr. Htndricks 100 ieared that it might operate

The bill was then passed—yeas 30, nays 13.
Mr. Morton (Ind.) called u'p the bill to author
ize the construction ot bridges across the Ohio
River. It is a bill of a general character, recently
published, placing restrictions on the erection of
bridges, with a view to prevent the obstruction
of navigation, to be sabject to the supervision of
the Secretary of War.
Mr. Van Winkle (W. Va.) addressed the Honse
in opposition to the bill; arguing that the pro
posed span to be required over the main channel,
500 feet, ia impracticable and unnecessary, as well
as dangerous. He said it wue aimed at two
bridges now bnilding.
Mr. Morton replied that he had submitted tbe
testimony of merchants and boards of trades of
CiDciDnaii and Pittsburgh, and pilots of the Ohio
river, in petitions to this body, showing the neces
sity of tbe five hundred ftet span for tbe protec
tion of navigation. He said no opposition was
made except by two railroad companies
that want to balld two cheap
bridges, and would for that purpose imperil the
commerce of tbe country. He read from reports
by Lolonel Roberts, in charge of engineering
on the Ohio river, and by Colonel Warner, to
show the necessity and feasibility of the 500
feet Bpan. He insisted that bridges can be
built as cheaply with 500 as with 300 feet span.

labors was as near an approximation of perfec
tion as was compatible with the fallibility of
man. Such being, the estimation in which the
Constitution is and has ever been held by our
countrymen, It is not surprising that
uny proposition for its alteration or
umendme nt should be received with reluctance
and distrust. While this sentiment deserves
commendation and encouragement as a useful
preventive of unnecessary attempts to change its
provisions, it must be conceded that tiuurbßH d(F
veloped imperlectiODß and omissions in the Con
stilntioD, the reformation of which has been
demanded by the beßt interests of tbe conntry.
Tbe first defect he alludes to is in that claase of
the Constitution which provides for tbe election
of President and Vice President through electors,
and not by a direct vote of tbe people,and quotes
President Jackson’s recommendations on ihts
subject at considerable length.
He revives, he says, substantially thq recom
mendation so often and so earnestly made by
President Jackson, and to nrge that the amend
ment to tbe Constitution herewith presented, or
some similar proposition, may be submitted to
tbe public for their ratification or rejection.
Recent events, be says, have shown the neces
sity ot distinctly defining the persons who shall
discharge the duties of President of the United
States in the event of vacancy in that office by
■be death, resignation or removal of both the
President and Vice President.
He believes in snch a contingency that the
office should devolve upon an officer of the Execn
tlvc Department of tbe Government rather than
upon one connected either with the legislative or
judicial departments.
He then recites tiie objections to designating
either the President pro tan of the Senate, or the
Chief Justice of the United States, bollevlng that
both those officers are interested in producing a
vacancy.
