PUBLIC OPINION.
Public opinion is a power that needs, at all
times, to be set in. motion with extreme cau
tion. Like fire, it is a good servant, but, if
misdirected, a terrible master. In a free
country like this, where individual opinion
is so ready to assert itself, and where a popu
lar thought or feeling so quickly fastens itself
upon the community at large and becomes
an active force, there is great responsibility
reposed in those whose positions in society
enable them either to originate or to consoli
date public opinion. Most of all is the exer
cise of, such power dangerous when it is
exerted'in contravention of the ordinary pro
cesses of law; when it is brought
to bear upon the verdicts of
juries, or the senteuc s of courts•
And yet there are cases arising in every large
community where public opinion must and
will step in even between the law and its
victims, interfering with the execution of its
sentence, not because of any want of reve
rence for law, but out of a high regard for
justice, or for mercy. And, to .the honor of
the American people, it should ever be noted
that public opinion—a genuine, spontaneous,
general public opinion on such occasions is
almost sure to be right. In a community
like that of Philadelphia, for instance, there
is such a deep recognition of all the preroga
tives of law that it is ordinarily impossible to
manufacture a spurious public senti
ment in relation to any regular de
cision of a jury or of a court.
The instincts of the people have been trained
for generations to a high appreciation of the
majesty of law, and therefore it may be as
sumed, with much safety, that where public
opinion does demand a suspension or rever
sion of the sentence of the law, there is a
sound reason at the foundation of it.
Recognizing this principle, it is , not diffi
cult to discriminate between the responsibility
of mere demagogues who, reckless of all con
sequences, are ready to stir up the flames of
public sentiment and direct them to wicked
and incendiary purposes, and the careful, con
scientious influence of those who direct the
steady power of public opinion toward the
correction of some public or personal wrong,
which may have been done, from any cause,
with all the formalities tad sanctions of law-
The arrest of the execution of Alfred Alex
anderPsfwhich was to have taken place to-day,
is an ekample of the power of a properly di
rected public sentiment. Governor Geary,
sustained, undoubtedly, by the advice and
opinions of his constitutional counsellors, re
cognizes, as every good and honest executive
officer will always do, not the clamor of a
mob, or the demands of a party, but the
sober, earnest, intelligent expression of an
unmistakeable public opinion. He has been
influenced to reprieve Al fred Alexander, not
by the sentimental platitudes of "the Hon.
Marvin H. Bovee, of Wisconsin," who fills
columns of the Inquirer, this morning, with
the most absurd attempts at argument and
appeal for the abolition of capital punish
ment, but by the power of the popular con
viction, here at home, that such doubts exist
in the case of this prisoner as make it wrong
to hang him. The people of this Common
wealth have entrusted the Governor with the
high responsibilities of pardon and of re
prieve, and, ordinarily, they leave those
powers confidently in his hands. When an
emergency of life and death arises, and the
people feel that the sentence of the law may
possibly result in a fatal wrong, they call
upon the Executive, as they have done in this
case, and Pennsylvania is never likely to
have a Governor who% ear is deaf to the
reasonable appeals of the people, or whines
heart is shut to the promptiotta of justice,
humanity and mercy.
FIRES.
The same report of the Board of Direc-
Ore of the Royal Insurance Company, recently
made to the shareholders and published in the
columns of the BULLETIN within a few days,
not only furnishes valuable information to
those whose interests lie in its prosperity, but.
siyu twain latgatipg fact 4 and igigge4;i4ll,d
upon the general subject of conflagrations.
In Ihigland, according to tbe report 'of the
Board, there his been a great falling off in the
number and severity of fires. This gratify
ing decrease the Board attributes to the les
sening of the crime of arson, from the'number
of convictions that have taken place, and the
consequent dread of detection—a revision of
the rates of premium on certain classes of
risks—the additional caution arising from the
heavy losses by Insurance Companies'during
the last three or four years—and the prospec
tive influence of further,legislative protection
against incendiarism by Judicial Investigation
into suspicions fires. The operation of these
causes has accomplished excellent results
in England,' and where English examples
may be followed with advantage in our own
country, the experience gained by such com
panies as the Royal should be profited by.
In Philadelphia, and in fact, throughout
the United States, there has been the same
remarkable decrease in the number and de
structiveness of serious fires for several
months past. During the last three months
the losses by fire have been G 6 per cent. be
low the usual average. In Philadelphia this
comparative immunity from loss has been
attributed, by observing persons, to several
different causes, among which may be named
reforms injhe Mode of building,more efficient
fire apparatus, better subordination and or
ganization in the Fire Department, and last,
but not least, a. thorough investigation into
the Origin of every fire, great or small, and
the*untiring pursuit of every person charged
with the' crime of arson. In respect to
building,there is still much room for improve
ment, although the building-laws have ac
complished great good.
In conversation within a few days with an
intelligent officer of one of our largest insu
rance companies upon this subject, he re
marked that destructive fires ran in circles.
By some mysterious law, fires in San Fran
cisco are followed by conflagrations at St.
Louis, Chicago and St. Paul; New York
Boston and Portland are apt to follow suit.
Then come Philadelphia,, Baltimore, Savan
nah and New Orleans, until the circle is com
pleted, and firemen and underwriters have a
periodical respite. This theory may be cor
rect; but it is not a necessity that Philadel
phia should take her turn in being ravaged by
fires. We would rather trust fire-proof roofs,
parapet walls and a thorough firedepartment,
than the chances of fires being either epidemic
or endemic.
•46INCH ONA CULTURE .
There need be-no longer any fear of a de
ficient supply of Quinine to meet the world's
wants for the cure of so many diseases in
which its use is indispensable. The Cinchona
tree, the bark of which, everywhere called
Peruvian, furnishes this its chief alkaloid,has
been transplanted from its native home of
South America to India, Ceylon, Java and
Jamaica. It was introduced into India in
1867 by Mr. Markham, and at the end of 1868
there were upwards of 1,500,000 Cinchona
plants in the government plantations on the
Neilgherry Hills, besides many others under
cultivation by companies and private indi
viduals. It is the intention of the Indian
Government to plant 1,200 acres with Cin
chona trees, and to keep 1,000 acres as
a reserve for further planting, if it should be
considered desirable hereafter. Many hun
dreds of acres will soon be planted in addi
tion, boll in the Neilgherries and other, dis
tricts, by English capitalists as well as by
natives, and the Cinchona on the hills, like
the teak on the lower slopes and in the plains,
will tend to mitigate the effects of clearing by
the cutting down of forest trees and the dimin
ished fall of rain thence resulting. The
beautiful foliage of the Cinchona trees which,
after four years of growth, are twenty feet
high, will be as effectual, in the opinion of
Mr. Markham, as the trees- they have sup
planted in preventing evaporation, regu
lating drainage and receiving the moisture
which is precipitated from the passing
clouds.
The conversion of, the wild South Ameri
can Cinchona plants into cultivatei Indian
ones has been so successful that whereas the
largest yield of' febrifuge alkaloids (quinine,
cinchonine, &c.), is from 3to 5 per cent.,
the bark grown in India, though only three
years old, has already given the unpreceden
ted result of I I per cent.! Cinchona bark
will ere long form an important item in the
list of Indian exports, after its large use by
the people of the hill districts, who are dec.-
mated by fever.
At a meeting of the American Medical
Association, last year, the attention of the
Government was invited to the subject of its
planting Cinchona trees in districts which
suitable inquiry would show to be adapted
to the purpose.
Retrenchment is a very good thing, but
spasmodic fits or retrenchment, that are fol
lowed by equally sudden attacks of extrava
gance, do not come up to the correct stand
ard of good and judicious financial manage
ment. Besides, there is a good deal in the
time that is chosen for the exercise of the
virtue of economy, and not a little in the
class of persons who are chosen as objects.
Mr. McCulloch, the Secretary of the Treas
ury, is a case inopoint. Not long since he
resolved on swallowing the Seymour and
Blair pill, a dose for which he has long been
preparing by a course of Andrew Johnson gar
gle. Having determined upon bolting
the pill, he has since declared his inten
tion of using his official power and
patronage to seoure the success of the Demo
cratic candidates. To this end he has sud
denly awakened to the conviction that there
are more hands than are necessary in the va
rious Custom-houses, and the work of re
form has been commenced. Some depart
ments have been abolished in 'tot% in others
the official force has been greatly reduced,
and in yet others double duties. have been
imposed upon single officers. In the New
York Custom House alone one hundred and
eight men have been compelled to walk the
plank, and all over the country the ace is
falling. All these victims, of course, are Re
publicans. In a little while end-in ample time
for the purposes of the election, it will be dis
covered that Uncle Sam is short-handed in
the customs department, and there will have
to be a batch of new appointments. What
the political complexion of the .new ap
p.,Lattea will be will not require a 6obinea

Earle, 816 Chestnut street, wo may instance a
lovely, photograph after' Cabana!, the French
court-painter, whose portrait of the Emperor,
"Paradise Lost," "Nymph and Fenn," and "Ve
nus" attracted every visitor at the ExPosition by
their size and splendor. The present photograph
has a more sympathetic and narrative subjech it
is called "The Organist's Widow," and consists
of seven Egures. A blonde girl, in a simple and
virginal costume fit for our conceptions of
Marguerite, Is playing one of the dead musician's
melodies upori a small organ set in an alcove of
his late home; her figure is illuminated by the
level rays of sunset. In the foreground, in som
bre black, sits the widow, listening as the familiar
airs, with all their associations, come from a
stranger's hand. The thought is made out with
the painter's deepest feeling, unspoilt by exag
geration or sentimentality. The tone and com
position are of particular beauty.

WA!+lilliGTON, Sept. 7th, 186e.—1 desire to ad
dress a tow words of warning to the Republicans
of Pennsylvania, to urge them to spare no exer
tion to carry the city of Philadelphia and State
of Pennsylvania at the October election. The
Macedonian cry for " help!" " help!" which is
constantly coming up from the faithful Republi
cans of the South 15 one not to be considered
lightly. There Is far-more significance in it than
most people in the North Imagine, who go to
their beds at night with a sense of security and
peace. But it is very different with the Southern
Unionists. My intercourse with prominent
Democrats here gives me opportunities of learn
ing their sentimer Es and future calculations, and
I therefore propose to state what their pro
gramme will be; in the event of the election of
Seymour and Blair.
In the first place, they all deny the legality of
the reconstruction acts of Congress, and if Sey
mour should be elected, then they propose to un
seat all the present Southern State governments,
not by violence, but by setting up other govern
ments, " according to the will of the people," as
they express it, and the existing governments
will be quietly ignored, and the "carpet-baggers"
driven out of the State, or murdered like poor
Ashburn. This is Frank Blair'e openly expressed
policy.
With Seymour elected they will find a willing
instrument in President Johnson to carry oat
these revolutionary plans, as his views of the un
constitutionality of the reconstruction accord
with those of Lee, Beauregard it Co., who only
ask "to be lot alone," and demand "the right of
st If-government." The election of Seymour will
be construed by these plotters and the President
as an endorsement by the people of the uncon
stitutionality of the reconstruction acts,and hence
they will not scruple to overturn all the State
Governments established under these acts, even
before the 4th of March next. - But,* you will say,
they cannot override the Fourteenth Amendment
to the Constitution, recently adopted, as that
guarantees citizenship, the inviolability of the
national - debt, ttc. The best answer tb this is
the action of the Georgia' Legislature, in to:mat
ing the colored members, in open and flagrant
violation of the amendinent referred to. This
has been done already, and is only the commence
ment of a series of similar acts by which the ex
rebels will show their utter contempt for the
lowa and "the Constitution," which they profess
to reverence, but would break in pieces the first
opportunity.
I propose now to speak of the other part of
their programme,
in case Grant is " illegally
elected," as they term it.. That is, if Grant should
not be elected by a clear majority of all the non
seceding States, but by counting the votes of
Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, or some others of
the reconstructed States, to makeup his majority,
then they threaten to make trouble; and some
oven go solar as to say they will ‘lnght" against
this usurpation. It will be remembered that Vir
ginia, Texas and Mississippi are "counted out" ba
the electoral college, under the late law of Con
gress;,but the Democrats are making the most
tremendons efforts to get' up electoral tickets in
those States- for Seymour and Blair, solely for
mischief, as they openly declare that if Seymour
and Blair should be elected with these Rtates, they
will forcibly mist every effort to "disfranchise
them."
The times are fraught with danger and peril,
for the rebel spirit is as rife now as it was in
1861, and it only wants an excuse, or justifica
tion, to break out into open violence. The peo
ple of Tettnsylyania cannot afford to allow 'the,.
traits of the late war to be- wasted, and another
rebellion to be warmed into life through their
apathy, and the surest way to prevent such a
catastrophe is to make Pennsylvania secure for
the Republicans in October next by an over
whelming majority, which they can do if they will
only work, and in this way. the question will be
soak(' permanently by ballots instead of bullets,

The rresident's friends are laboring earnestly
to preventa meeting of Congress on , the 21st
inst., and the White House reporter coolly an
nounces to-day, in speaking of tbe outrageous
conduct of the Georgia Legislature, that "Con
gress is powerless to prevent such acts, or grant
relief to the expelled blacks." This declaration
is made directly in the , face of the fourtosnth
amendment, the closing section of, which says
that "Congress shall have power t. , 3 enforcrilhis
amendment by appropriate legislation." This
blast from the White Rouse shows conclusively
where Johnson stands-

Gen. Banks was here to-day, and in conyersa

Collector John R. Diehl, of Second District,
and Colit ctoiCharles Abel of First District, were
both here today, concerning the regulation of
tobacco horded warehouses for the city Phila
delphia. It seems that, the:matter of devising
some system,of reducing the number of bonded
warehouses was referred to Collector Diehl, who
has been laboringlo produce. this result, but
without success, owing to the , conflicting
interests of those engaged ill thetrade. Mr. J.

errand, and be and. Collector Diehl laid the ants

Abel came to protest against Collector Diehl

lIOIIIIIIILE OUTRAGE IN THE NINE.
/MANTEL' WAISD. •
A Lando Girl Murdered and Thrown
Into a 'Brick Pond.
A little girl named Mary Merman, aged six
years, was sitting on the steps of the resi
dence of her mother. No. 2416 Orkney street,
In the Nineteenth Ward, on Sunday even
ing lst. About eight o'clock, a tall, slim man,
with a black whiskers, came along and inquired
for Dauphin street. He was told, and
then appeared to be confused, and remarked
that be did not think that be could find the way.
Ho asked the dhild to show him. oho at once
got up to comply with hisrequest, and started
with the man,accompanied by two otherchiklren
who reside in the neighborhood. After proceed
ing a short distance the two children left the
party.
A half-hour passed and little Mary did not re
turn: Her mother became anxious and made in
quiries about her, but nothing could be ascer
tained In regard to ber whereabouts. Another
hour rolled by and still there was no appearance
of the child. The whole night the mother watched
patiently, bat the little girl did not reach home.
During the whole of yesterday the search and
inquiries were continued, but without avail, and
Mrs. Merman was In the greatest distress about
the prolonged absence of ber little one.
This morning an Eleventh District policeman
was passing a brick pond above Susquehanna
avenne,,between Fifth and Sixth streets, and ob
served an object In the. water,which was not over
twelve Inches in depth.
The officer searched and found the body of a
child, which afterward turned pat to that of
the missing Mary Merman.
The body was conveyed to the Eleventh Dis
trict Police Station, and the Coroner was
notified.
The location of the pond where the body was
found is lonely, and but few houses are located
in that immediate vicinity.
An examination of the body was made. On
the back of the head were several cuts. The
right arm was dislocated, and had evidently been
twisted. The neck also appeared to have been
dislocated. The skirts of the little one were
stained with blood, and it is supposed that her
person had been outraged.
Everything about the 'body gave indication that
the little girl had been most brutally dealt with.
The finding of the body and its condition soon
became known, and caused the greatest excite
ment among the people of the Nineteenth Ward.
The women were particularly severe in their
denunciation of the diabolical outrage, and if the
perpetrator of the horrible crime had been within
their reach, he would have
,heen torn to pieces
without any mercy whatever.
As soon as be received notice, Coroner Daniels
summoned a jury, and proceeded to the Elevenlh'
District Police Station, and viewed the body. No
time has yet been fixed for the inquest.
Dr. E. B Shapleigb. the Coroner's physician.took
charge of the body this afternoon, for the pur
pose of making a post-mortem examination.
Chief Lemon, of the Detective force, was noti
fied of the affair, and detailed Officers J. R.
Stephens and E. K. Tryon to investigate it.
Those officers are now at the scene of the out
rage, endeavoring to ferret out a clue to the per
petrator of the deed.
Such a horrible and atrocious murder has rarely
occurred in Philadelphia, and it is to be hoped
that the efforts of the police to find the murderer
will be crowned with success.
PERSO.NAL.—Alexander Kerr, Esq., one of onr
most estimable and successful merchants, who
has been absent In Europe for several months
past, returned to his home yesterday afternoon.
FROM NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, Sept. B.—An affray occurred in a
Broadway stage yesterday. Two men claimed
each to be the husband of a lady present, and in
discussing the question somewhat angrily pistols
were drawn. The men were both arrested before
they could fire, however, and on being taken be
fore Justice Ledwith were bound over to keep
the peace. The two. with the fair casus belli be
tween them, then departed together in the same
carriage.
Commiesloner Osborn yesterday committed
Jose Ferrer de Conto, editor of El Croniea,
for trial, on the charge of assaulting Mr. Ignacio
Gomez, the NiCaraguan Minister. The bail was
fixed at $l.OOO.
Beverly Clark, who is charged, in connection
with other parties, with conspiracy to defraud
the United States Post Office Department, by
having audited and paid bills for goods never
delivered, was held by Commissioner Osborn yes
terday in 510,000 bail to await examination on
Wednesday next.
The investigation in the case of Commissioners
Rollins and Harlan, and Messrs. Smith and Mur
ray, charged with conspiring to defraud the
government in the collection of the whisky tax,
was continued yesterday in the United States
Court-room, before Commissioner Guttman.
Murray was discharged and called as a witness for
the prosecution, but he declined to answer the
principal questions asked him.

PHILADELPHIA, sept 8.-jrhe- weekly state
ment of Banks made public this morning . % a
favorable one, end shows that theie institutions
aro in a strong condition, ready to meet anY Wu
tingencies which may arise. There are large
sums seeking Investment in "call loans". at 4.X to
6 per cent., and short first,class paper, is in
demand at 6 per cent. Obligatioml, hovrever,
having over sixty or ninety days to mature are
generally rejected. In trade circles there is a little
better feeling, but the September business thus
far is not up to general anticipations.
There was a fair business at the Stock Board
this morning, and all the better classes of bonds
were steady. Govenmient Loans were quiet. The
War Loan sold at 10231. City 6e, new issue, were
firm at 10334. Lehigh Gold Loan was a fraction
higher.
Reading. Railroad declined X, and closed at
95.81. Pennsylvania Railroad was quite active,
and sold up to 59%A55—an advance of 1. Nor

Navigation, and 1034 for Schuylkill Navigation
Preferred.-
Bank and Passenger Railway shares .were

The money article in the Press this morning
In reference to the stock Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company is erroneous, as we have in
formation direct from its officer's that not a single

rectly, and the price has in no way been affected
by any action of the company.

New York Money . Market.
[From the New York Herald of to•da9.l
BErrEarnurt 7.—The goltr market has been
rather quiet to-day, and the fluctuations prior to
the adjournment, of the board at three o'clock
were from 144% to 145, with the closing trans
-
30.1013 S at 144%, but subsequently sales were
made as low as 144( t . following which there was
a recovery to 144%, and. the latest quotation on
the street was 144%@144%. The 'short" inte
rest outstanding is so heavy that the bears offer
a vigorous resistance to the upward tendency of
the premium, and hence it Is kept lower
than it otherwise would be by arti
ficial means. There was an - active
borrowing demand for. coin and loans were
made at rates varying from a half to three per
cent. for carrying and without interest to either
borrower or lender, the majority of transactions
being "flat." The gross clearings' amounted to•
$40,920,000. the gold balances to $1,587.075 and
the currency balances to $2,342,273. The Sub-
Treasury disbursed' $94,859 in coin payment of
Interest on the public debt during the day. The
imports of specie at the port last week aggre
gated $679,601, making a total of $5,635,710 since
the first of January.
The market for Government securities was
firm at the opening, and there were large trans
actions in the later issues of five , twenties at an
advance upon the closing prices of Saturday.
At the noon and quarter-past two calls prices
were well supported, but there was diminished
activity.
There Is no change to note in the money
market, which remains extremely easy, loans on
call being made freely at three and four per cent,
while commercial paper Is in very limited supply
and the best grade is rated at'from five to seven
per cent. The banks report that the drain of
currency westward is on a considerably-reduced
scale, and not the slightest monetary
derangement is anticipated from the
preparations of the banks throughout the
country for their quarterly returns, which will be
made on the first Monday in October. The indi
cations continue favorable to a more abundant
supply of money during the remainder of the
year than we bad in the corresponding period of
1866, and then it was only in the last three weeks
of December that the rate of interest ruled steadily
at seven per cent., the previous rates having been
five and six, two or three short intervals ex
cepted, when it temporarily rose to seven.
lFrom to. day's New York World.]
SEPTEMBER 7.—The magnitude of the demand
for our government bonds in Europe during the
last three months, and to which latest advises
seem to fix no limit, so far from being extraor
dinary, as many here imagine, is in stnct accord-.
ante with the popular sentiment and the course
of financial events in Europe.
The Government bond market was strong
throughout the day, the demand running chiefly
on the new bonds. The foreign bankers have
considerable orders to exchange old bonds for the
new, and the result of this foreign demand is a
further rise to 109 to 1093 for new 1865 s and
18675, and 1e9;4, to 109, 1 1 ( for'lB6Bs.
The money market is easy - at 3to 4 per cent.
on call, and discounts range from 6X to 7 per
cent.
The foreign exchanze market is quiet, and
prime bankers' sixty day sterling range from
109 X to 1093(, with no transactions reported at
the higher figure, and other good bankers' at
108 k to 109.
Tlie gold markot ranged from 144% to 145,
closing at 3P.M. at 144%. The rates paid for
carrying were ;4, 1 2, 3 and 13! per cent. to flit.
Alter the Board adjourned, the quotations were
14434 to 144%, closing at 5 P. M at 144%.
The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank on
Monday were as follows :
Gold balances $1,587,075 00
Currency balances 3,342 273 41

in receipt of letters from we ll kisown officers of
the regular army stationed in South Carolina and
Alabama. They confirm all that has been said
of the desperate Measures Which the Southern
Democrats are resorting to, to carry their States
for Seymour and Blair. T hey say that the.more
violent ones are carrying everything before them
and driving the moderate men into
their views as was done
.in 1861 and.
1862, and that the attempt is almost
universal to control the voted of the Degrees by
threats, partly of violence, but mostly by de
priVation of employment. One writer says the
condition will daily grow worse for the next few
weeks, and the election of Seymour would be
the signal for a reign of terror through the entire
South.
