A FATIME lINTIRILLY Ala CA.VIOI.
Wendell Phillips is not going to "let us
have peace." His relapse into silence would
be suicidal. In one respect he is like this
terrestrial globe: perpetual motion is essential
to his existence ; if he stops he goes to pieces
and dies. As long as he lives ho must agitate
and find fault and complain. If there is any
truth in spiritualism, and physical endurance
in mediums, it is very likely he will rap out
querulous communications by the quantity
when he reaches the other world. He is never
quite satisfied with anything but himself, and
there is a popular impression that he has less
cause for satisfaction in that direction than in
any other. His most recent overflow of bile
was caused by the election of the Republican
candidate for the Presidency. The triumph
of the party, he considers, to some extent, a
good thing, but not quite as good a thing as
it would have been if Grant had not bees its
leader. In the opinion of this fine old
agitator, General Grant is wholly unfitted for
the Presidential office because of his want of
administrative ability; because of his neglect
to prevent the murder of Union men in the
South; because of his silence ; his want of a
declared policy ; of his sympathy with
Andrew Johnson, displayed in his acceptance
of Mr. Stanton's office, and of his failure to
oppose the Administration while holding the
position of Secretary of War.
None of these objections are very fresh,
and some of them have such a genuine De
mocratic flavor, that we half suspect the
dyspeptic Wendell,of an intention to secede
from the Republican ranks, and go over to
the Democracy. We would advise this
course.as likely to afford him an opportunity
to "pitch in" to things generally. The ad
herents of the Democratic party will have
very much to complain of during the next
four years; and Wendell is master of the
rhetoric of complaint. We are mildly sorry,
of course, that he is not satisfied with Gen.
Grant. Everybody else in the party is, and
while we would like to gratify Wendell, it
seems hardly fair to force Grant to resign,
and then arrange another election merely to
soothe hie ruffled spirit. There are people
who regard General Grant's silence as the
happiest token of his sound sense and judg
ment, and they are confirmed in this theory
by the reflection that Horatio Seymour, Wen
dell Phillips and other demagogues are
garrulous. The eloquence of action, after all,
is the most convincing, and men who are un
blinded by prejudice and self-conceit can read
in the record of Grant's military career the
best evidences of his ability as a commander,
and as an executive officer. And it is here
that we have our guarantee of his loyalty,
patriotism, earnest regard for the wishes of
his constituents, the people, and of his un
selfish, unpresuming intention always to ex
ecute his tasks in conformity with the spint
and letter of the laws. He has arranged no
policy, because it will be his duty to enforce
the enactments of Congress, without regard
to his private opinion of their excellence, and
we are sure that he will do this. We have
had quite enough of Presidential policies of
late, and we can very well afford to trust a
man who declares that he has none to pursue
in defiance of the popular will.
General Grant's conduct during Mr. John
'eon's quarrel with Secretary Stanton was-emi
nently characteristic of the man, and gave
entire satisfaction to the loyal people of the
country. It was proper that he should not
assume the position of a violent partisan of
either disputant, for both of them were his
superior officers. But as far as it was politic
and possible for him to manifest his disappro
bation of the President's course, he did so.
Certainly no reasonable man can fail to ad
mire the adroitness displayed by him in de
feating Mr. Johnson's attempt to represent
him to the world in the attitude of a supporter
of the Presidential policy. The denunciations
showered upon him by the Democratic and
rebel press at the time, proved very clearly
that Mr. Johnson's friends comprehended
General Grant's true position, if Wendell
Phillips did not.
It is silly and malicious to attempt to
fasten upon General Grant any responsi
bility for the massacres which have occurred
during the reign of terror in the South. To
Mr. Johnson, not to Grant, was confided the
execution of the reconstruction laws of Con
gress. It would be as just to blame Wendell
Phillips for the present insurrection in Cuba,
as to charge Grant with the neglect and
wickedness of President Johnson. General
Grant latterly has been ignored entirely by
this functionary. Hie.. advice and assistance
- _have not been asked; the President has, in
the exercise of an undoubted right, appointed
what officers he chose to command the
Southern departments, and General Grant
has 'been utterly helpless to prevent the con
summation of Mr. Johnson's designs, unless
he had deliberately refused to obey orders.
Perhaps Mr. Phillips would have liked
General Grant to have displayed insubordina
tion. It would have made an uproar that
would have rejoiced the Phillipan heart; but
we trust Grant now because he did his mani
fest duty when his inclination was strongly
soother direction. For there can be no
doubt of his entire sympathy with the Union
men of the South, and of his abhorrence of
the outrages which have been practiced
them. • We have a multitude of his
_ r letericdiaipateli - ea - and - utterancea upon that
atMect,which leave no room to question that
Otis inauguration will be followed by the
adoption of instant and vigorous measures to
protect life and property throughout the rebel
States, and to make fr6Z4. speech jposlible
everywhere. When that good work is done,
we suppose the irrepressible Wendell will
have discovered another sc.urce of aggrava
tion to his pertrubed and ur.ea9y spirit, and
will fly off upon a now tangert, At present
we wish he would model his conduct upon
Grant's In one respect. We can endure a
vast amount of silence from him just now.
THE lIDB MRS
It seems likely, after all, that there is some
little truth in the exaggerated repbrts given in
the New York papers of the existence of a
filibustering scheme, having for its object the
seizure of the Island of Cuba. We are not
prepared to place implicit confidence in the
statements of the imaginative reporters, or to
expect fulfilment of the extravagant promises
of the bold buccaneers who have the matter
in band. There is a little too much gorgeous
ness and magnificence in the proposed plan,
for practical purposes. These worthies not
only propose to capture' Cuba, but to extend
their conquests until they obtain possession of
the whole isthmus, and the entire West India
group of islands;and after accomplishing these
trifling tasks—under the leadership of General
Blair, one report says—it is their self-sacri
ficing and patriotic intention to throw the
whole lot in as their little contribution to the
United States. Even Seward never conceived
such an annexation scheme as this. Blair
may yet snatch from him the title of the Great
Annexor. Perhaps Blair may have a selfish
motive, and will only bring us all this new
territory so that he can arrange to have a hand
some majority for himself at the next Presi
dential election. These Blain cannot be
trusted. Their Democratic judicial friends
could easily naturalize the population of all
the new territory in time.
But we hardly think all of this will be ac
complished. If Cuba is taken, it will be
about as much as we can reasonably expect
even from such able and valorous men. Twat
it is intended to make an attempt in that di
rection, seethe at least highly probable; for it
it admitted on all sides that an organization
has been fitimed for the purpose. Most of
the leaders.whose names are given are men
who were adherents of that wretched outlaw,
William Walker,of Nicaraguan memory; and
they seem to be imbued with his insane
spirits of reckless and foolish enterprise.
But Walker never undertook any campaign
of this dangerous character. His schemes
were bold enough; but he ventured only into
a country which was utterly ruined
already by anarchy, and he always
found partisans among the popu
lation. Cuba is rather a more extensive Held
than Nicaragua, and the government holds it
in better controL There is an insurrection
there, it is true; but the fact is not especially
useful to American filibusters. The mass
. 0
the revolutionists want liberty under the re
formed Spanish rule; not sacrifice of their
government and their property to a band of
lawless vagabonds. There will be no sym
pathy for these, even among the rebels,
if they succeed in reaching the revolutionary
army. It is very unpleasantly posaible,how
ever, that they will not proceed so far into
the bowels of the land. Lersundi is active
and vigilant, and most likely he will nab the
intruders,and treat them as Lopez was treated
in 1849,—t0 a few twists of the garrote.
Perhaps that would be the best thing for
them and for us.
But there is good reason to believe the ex
pedition will never leave our shores. The
United States Government will have some
thing to say about that, and it will be in the
form of a peremptory objection. We feel
very kindly towards the new Spanish Go
vernment, and do not intend to steal its pro
perty; we have respect for our own laws, and
will not permit them to be broken with im
punity; and last of all, we do not want Cuba.
If we can manage to take care of our own
territory, just at present, we shall' do very
well, and have our hands full. Reconstruc
tion of the Southern States is difficult enough,
without attempting to remodel and regenerate
Cuba. Polk's bid for Cuba, the Ostend man
ifesto and Slidell's later proposition to pur
chase the island, were all inspired by the
anxiety of the slave power to strengthen
itself by extension. That interest is dead and
without influence now, and this country is in
the hands of a free, honest and
loyal people, who will not support
or countenance any outrage against
neighboring States. If manifest destiny is to
give us Cuba, we had better await its opera
tion, and denounce intermeddling rascality.
When Cuba knocks at the door, we will pro
bably let her in, and think ourselves fortunate
then. Until then, we can find ample occu
pation in attending to our own business. If
these filibusters are simply eager to acquire
territory for themselves, we recommend them
to settle on some of the many million acres
of unoccupied land in the West, where an
honest livelihood can be earned by a little
hard work, and where success can be ob
tained without indulgence in throat cutting.
Now that this scheme has been exploded, we
hope the authorities will investigate it, and if
there is anything in it, bring it to a summary
conclusion.
ROSSINI.
The greatest of the Italian musical composers,
Gioacchino Rossini, died on Saturday last at his
villa in Passy, near Paris. His health has been
for some time declining, and his death was ex
pected, owing to his great age. He was born at
Pesaro, February 29th, 1792, so that ho was
nearly seventy-seven years old ; though, as ho
could only calculate his birth-day once in four
years, he had the habit of playfully
counting his years by the Leap Years.
His parents were strolling musicians, and
he began his musical career with them as a child,
developing a fine ear and voice, which led to his
being-placed—in. the Lyceum of Bologna for a
thorough musical education. The Abbe Mattel
was his instructor there in composition. When
only 16 years of age, a symphony and cantata,
called 11 Plant° d' A rmonia, was played at Bo
logna;and two years later his first opera was pro
duced at the San-Mose Theatre in Venice. It
was called La Gambiale di Matrimonio, was in
only one act, and had but moderate success.
Several other operas afterwards appeared,
but the first successful one was the inyanno
Felice, produced when he was only
twenty years old. He wrote many
others in his youth, the most successful of
which were Tancredi and L' Italiana in A lgeri in
1813 and 11 Turco to ftalia In 1814. His other great
est operas were produced as follows: 11 Barbiere di
Seriglia and Otello, 1816; Cenerentela and La
Gazza Ladra, 1817; Mose in Egitto, 1818; La
Donna del Logo, 1819; Afaometto Seconds, 1820;
,Btzsiramide,lB23; Le Comte d'Ory,lB2B,and Gut:t
zar/me Tell, 1829. The two last named were
written for the Grand Opera of Paris, of which
Rossini was made Director by Charles X. 81nce

some of his earlier operas were written for the
prima donna M'lle. Cplbrand, whom, he after
wards married. Ho separated from her, and af
ter her death In 1845, Mme. Olympe Pelissier,
who had lived with him as his wife, assumed his

1525, sharing with the veteran French composer,
Auber (his senior by eight years,) the homage of
ail the musical pilgrims to the French capital.
'/31s hospitality, to true artiste and his genial hu
mor have been proverbial: rHe has
seemed willing to let 1 - . f "'hfs rep
utation rest chlefl3 on his Guillaume Tell,
his most elaborate work, in which there was "a
happy blending of the German and Italian styles.
Its production was like the founding of a new
school, of which Meycrbeer immediately became
a zealous disciple. In later years Gounod and
others of the French composers have followed in
the same style. It is understood that Rossini
leaves many unpublished musical works, which
may probably be given to the world by his ex
ecutors. His death will doubtless be the occasion
of many solemnities in Paris and in all parts of
the world where his works are known.
ConnEcrtom —The statement of our Washing
ton correspondent in reference to the •"Jeff.
Davis" female garments is incorrect in one essen
tial particular. No fair is being held in this city,
or projected, to raise funds for the National Lin
coln Monument, and none is necessary, as the
amount required for the statue of Bishop Simp
son has already been raised by private and volun
tary contributions. We regret that the imputa
tion inadvertently conveyed by our correspond
ent should have escaped our notice.
We are requested by the friends of Mr. H. T.
Helmboid to deny positively the truth of the re
port that be is suffering from any aberration of
mind. Mr. Heimbold is in excellent physical

are malicious, wicked, and without the slightest
foundation in fact.

Further Earthquakes and Loss of Pro.
perty-Imro ot the Mone
Contribute p d Nor the Aid of the Suffer. y
ern—Yellow Fever.
Data, October 22.—Earthquakes continu at
Iquique, particularly at night. The silver m ines
of Guantajaya and Santa Rosa have been nearly
destroyed, making it impossible to work them
except by a vest outlay of money. The streets
were still obstructed,but efforts were being made
to clear them of the rubbish washed up by the
sea after the earthquake. The work on the rail
road was inaugurated on the 16th instant,
which is to connect Iquique with the saltpetre
mines of La Norma. The completion of this work
18 anxiously looked for. At Arica, the condition
of the town and people was still in a lament
table state, and the want of the common necessa
ries of life was much felt. It has turned oat, as
was expected, that the money voted by the Gov
ernment and ennhefibtd for by various persons to
uhf in relieving the sufferings of the people, has
gone to enrich a certain favored few, while the
bulk of the people have been entirely forgotten.
From Tacno we learn that the small-pox has
made its appearance in that city, causing great
alarm. It appears that one calamity follows close
on the heels of another In this unfortunate repub
lic. A severe shock of earthquake was felt In that
city on the 13th inst., at 1.30 P. M., equally as
strong as that of the 13th of August kust,but which
only lasted LO seconds. No damage was done.
Slight earthquakes are not noticed now-a-days,for
these are of common occurrence. The news
from Arequipa is no less distressing, as her con
dition is far from being sensibly bettered. The
frequency of the earthquakes and the smoke
which the volcano Misti continues to vomit forth
from its north cone is a sufficient motive for the
unsettled state of the people. A very severe
shock took place on the 13th inst., at 1.30 P. M.,
which shook down some old ruins. No doubt
this earthquake is the same that was felt at Tacna
and Caldera. - The mortality of the city Is
daily on thOncrease. A gentleman who arrived
at Arequipa on the morning of the 16th from
Cuzco, reports that on the 28th ult., a severe
earthquake caused considerable damage to pro
perty in the valleys of Cnzeo and Puno. Yellow
fever has also appeared in the town of Ica, and
fears were entertained that it would become gen
eral. Doctors and medicines have been for
warded by the government to hday_gand Ica, to
check, if possible, the ravages arthis terrible
enemy. There were but few cases in Lima dar
ing the past week, which were principally con
fined to the soldiers.—Tribune.

PaliAsia., Nov. s.—The fires of civil war have

restoration of its lost power. News to hand

The Governor at once surrendered, and is now a

part of the National Government has aroused the
Conservative party throughout the republic, and
a general civil war must be the natural sequel.
As soon as the action of the President of the na

The War in Paraguay—The Charges
Against Minister Washburn©.
The news from the seat of war in Paraguay is
up to September 24. The allied forces had at
tacked the position of Lopez at Villeta, but were
repulsed with heavy , loss. They wore forced to
fall back to their encampment, where they were
continually harassed by the Paraguayans, who
frequently intercepted their supplies. An inef
fectual bombardment of Angostina was made by
the iron clads. We have also a report that a re
volution against the new President of the Argen
tine Confederation had broken out.
The Minister of the United States to Paraguay
has beengetting himself into serious trouble with
Marshal Lopez. The latter accused Minister
Washburn° of having entered into the conspiracy
to assassinate the President, and it was charged
that he hag received a hundred and forty thou
sand dollars as the reward of his action. The

The letter from New York published in The Daily
News of the 16th inst., towhich your note of the
16th inst. calls toy attention, I have read. As Its
statements are calculated to injure the interests of
Texae, and as lam satisfied that they are un
founded, I feet bound to comply with your re
quest, I left the United States on the Ist of Au
gust, and for years immediately preceding was
a member of the Senate of the United States. In
that capacity it was my duty to inform myself of
the conditioh of the Southern States, and this I
did from sources upon which I know;
that full reliance could be placed; and the
knowledge thus obtained enables me to say that
the statements in the letter referred to are un
founded. That there are acts of violence in that
State iit'n6 doubt true but not more, I believe,
than occur in either of the other Stats, or in any
other country. I have no doubt, therefore, that
emigrants into the State will be as safe as in any
other part of the Union. I remain, Sir, very
respectfully, your obedient servant,
• REVERDY JORNSON.
J. J. VICKERS, Esq., No. 22 Lesdenhall street,
E. C.
The following is the passage of our correspond
ent's letter referred to in the foregoing commu
nications :
"The accounts from the South do not change
materially. In Texas, society may be said to be
dissolved,at least outside one or two of the larger
towns. The only Safety forl anybody is to
be found inside the quarters of the Federal
troops, and they hold simply the ground they
encamp on. The whole State is in the hands tlof
mobs, who murder and burn houses at their will;
and they, too, act under no recognized head, or
-In accordance with any fixed plan. This would
be more dreadful if it were ranch pf dehange. but
it is not—things were as bad as this during the
war, and not very much better before it."
_ Our Now York correspondent, it will be seen,
was not writing for or against ony land or emi
gration scheme, but simply summarising the
latest current intelligence. Mr. Johnson's con
tradiction, therefore, does not so much concern
him as the American press. Since, however, the
question has been raised, we will observe that
our New York correspondent's trustworthiness
does not need the certificate of any foreign
minister; end Mr. Johnson's new found friends
In England can tell him that our countrymen
would have been richer by some millions at the
present moment Ifthey had heeded his trathfal
reports in times past, when gentlemen from the
Southern States were, as now, endeavoring to
entangle them in the doubtful schemes. Our New
York correspondent knows the whole South by
observation and travel, and, with all due respect
to Mr. Johnson, we believe that the paragraph
jest quoted from his letter contains a true and
faithful description of the State of Texas at the
present time. Bearing in mind the claims of Lou-
Wane, where, on the 16th ult., in St. Mary's par
ish. a Sheriff was shot in his hotel and a magistrate
in the streets—of Arkansas,where,on the 15th tilt.,
a Deputy Sheriff was killed at Pine Bluff—of
South Carolina, where, on the 16th, a Senator
was shot by three men as he was standing on the
platform of a railroad station in the Abbeville
district—bearing all this in mind, we say, we are
still compelled to think that Texas excels them
all as the most lawless and barbarous country in
the world where the pretence of civilization is
kept up. We do not know whether Messrs. Pat
ton, Vickers & Co. are Englishmen, but as such
we earnestly warn our countrymen against being
induced by foreign misrepresentation to carry
their capital and energy to a country where or
ganized ruffianism is triumphant.
FROM NEW TORE.

PEITLADELPHIA, Monday, Nov. 15.—The meney market
continues relatively easy, but the continued violent fine
tuatioria in gold and stocks in New York tend to destrc y
confidence as to the stability of values, and create con*
eiderable distrust. The rates for call loans here to-de;
were from 7 to 9 per cent. on government collaterals, and
from Bto 12 per cent on mixed securities. The deposits
at the banks have run down to an unprecedentedly low
figure; and these institutions have not the cower to ex
tend any great relief to needy borrowers. The stieement
of the associated banks for this week will show that they
are somewhat better off than at the close of the previous
week of gloom and depression. The merchants are act
Jug with unusual caution. and prefer to realize on their
goods at low rates for cash, than to in any way extend
credits.
There was an active business in Stocks to-day, but at
rather irregular figures. as the telegraph announces that
the New York market is characterized by the most in.
ewe excitement. Prices of Erie there have fluetuatedfrom
$lO to 1212 per share 1 Government and State Loans were

[Special Despatch to the PbMade. Evening Bullet:W.l
WASH/FITION, Nov. 16, 1868.—The an
nual report of Hon. A. B. Mullett, Supervisory
Architect for the Government, for the year end
ingBept. 30, 1868, has been laid before the Secre
tary of the Treasury. It is very lengthy, but ex
ceedingly interesting in going to show the neces
sity of changing the contract system for the
supply of material for governmenhuildings; the
workings of the eight-hoar law. and the in
creased cost of erecting buildings since this law
has been in force, besides much other interesting
matter. The following is an abstract of the
most important portions of the report,for the pub
lication of which permission has been granted by
the Treasury Department:
Sir :—I have the honor to submit the following
report on the condition of the public property
under the supervision of this office, and upon the
work performed and the expenditures made un
der its direction during the year ending Septem
ber 3003,1868. And in so doing I have to say that
the business of the office has steadily increased,
and is now greater than at any time since its or
ganization.
The commencement of new buildings, the pre
paration of plans for others, the progress of the
work on those now in course of erection, the re
pairing of those already completed, and the su
pervision of the large amount of real estate
owned by the Department, have involved a con
stant amount of care, attention and anxiety. No
pains have been spared to hasten the completion
of the various works now in progress,
though I regret to state that the re
sults have not been in all cases satisfac
tory, from causes beyond the control
of this office, which will be explained In detail.
Prominent among these has been the impossibil
ity of compelling contractors for the supply of
material and manufactured work, who have taken
contracts at rates they deem unremnnerative, to
comply with their obligations. The principal
difficulty has beenwith the contractors for the sup
ply of cut stone,they having,th many cases owned
or controlled the quarries from which a supply
could be obtained, thus placing the Department
entirely at their mercy.
The contracts have been prepared under the
advice and with the approval of the Solicitor of
the Treasury, and are, it is believed, as stringent
and thoroughly binding as could be made. It is
true the penalty they provide for delay remains
charged against the contractors and will be en
forced by the Department; but an impression ap
pears to prevail that it is only necessary to prove
that the price paid them was inadequate in order
to obtain relief from Congress. I trust they may
be mistaken, and that they will be held to the
strict letter of their obligations.
HOW THE EIGHT noun LAW WORKS.
Another serious cause of embarrassment has
been the adoption of the eight hour system on
Government works, which has greatly increased
the cost and retarded the progress of the build
ings under charge of this office. The idea that
as much labor can be performed in eight as in ten
hours has proved to be utterly fallacious; Indeed
the experience of this office justifies the assertion
that less labor per hour has, in most cases, been
obtained under the eight than under the ten hour
system. It appears to me that the law in force
up to the passage of the act in question,
which authorized Government officers to con
form to the rules and prices established by
custom in the different localities, was not only
eminently just but liberal. The uniform practice
on all works under charge of this Department
has been to pay full market rates for labor
and to give the mechanics and laborers employed
the full advantages of the interpretation of the
local customs on all points and to avoid inter
fering in any manner with these questions. It
is also, in discussing this subject, worthy of re
mark that a workman can earn a larger sum per
annum when employed on public than on private
buildings at the same per diem pay, there bein
a much smaller per centage of lost time and
employment being more permanent. It is
a matter of no personal importance to
me whether mechanics and laborers
work eight or ten hours, but It appears manifest
that the system of paying the mechanic who is
employed on Government work the same price
for eight hours that the one employed by private
parties receives for ten hours' work is unjust. It
has, at any rate, increased the cost of public
buildings from twenty to twenty-five per cent.
beyond the amount fir which I can consent to be
held responsible. I can see no reason why the
price of labor should be regulated by law any
more than that of provisions or other merchan
dise, or why the mechanic should receive more
protection than agricultural laborers whose pay
is less and who work more hours.
The report then says that the great pressure of
Important legislation on the late Congress, and
the consequent delay in the passage of the appro
priation bills, compelled the suspension of work
in some cases, and caused serious delay in others.
Great difficulty has been experienced in obtaining
the services of competent and energetic superin
tendents. The most favorable results have been
attained at those places where superintendents
have given attention to the work. The employ-,
ment of resident architects, who would act as
representa,ives of the Treasury Department, and
operate as a direct check on the superintendents,
in those cities where the most important public
buildings are situated. is recommended.
The experience of this office has juslfied the
determination of the department to make no
contracts for the erection of buildings, save In
exceptional cases. The supplies of material and
manufactured work have however been obtained
after due advertisement therefor, and in no case
has the contract been awarded to any save the
lowest bidder.
Could any system be levised that would re
strict competition for the erection of public
buildings to those only who are competent to
estimate correctly the value of the work required,
and sufficiently responsible to meet their oblige
tions,it would undoubtedly be the most desirable
plan Tor performing the work. This principle
can be and is carried out by private individuals,
who have the right to select their own bidders;
but I can see no means_by which this eye
be applicable to public works until it is deemed
proper to entrust government officers with the
same discretion that is exercised by private per
sons. Until that can be done, or some other
remedy devised, I see no alternative except to
continue the present system of executing the
work under the immediate supervision of a
superb:lt:en dent.
The repairing and remodeling of the old
buildings has been proceeded with as rapidly as
the means at the disposal of this office would
permit.
The report then details at length the condition
of the various public buildings throughout the
