IrtetPoraztee of Philadelphia that prevails
In the 4t,y of New York, Cyan ationg people
enppered to be intelligent and well informed,
le remarkable. One would suppose that the
glut distance that separates the two cities
would enable all New York public charac
ters, and especially newspaper writers, to is
ibIM themselves concerning Philadelphia and
Philadelphia topics. Bat they rarely do so,
and when they make misstatements, either
ignorantly or wilfully, they rarely take the
trouble to correct them.
A couple of weeks ago there was a first
class sensation , created in. New. York upon a
Philadelphia topic—the conviction of Hester
Vaughan for child-murder. Several papers
filled's, page at a time with falsehoods abuut
tbiS ;Wretched woman,- about-her- counsel,-
ab6it the men and women of Philadelphia,
and about the Governor,of"Pennsylvarda. A
public meeting was called and held, and at
this meeting the falsehoods were reiterated
with great exaggeration. Since then the
truth about Hester Vaughan, about her trial,
her counsel, her treatment in Philadelphia
and Governor Geary's disposition towards
her, has been abttndantly ascertained. But
the New York editors, with one or two ex
ceptions, have not retracted one of their false
statements and slanderous charges. As there
are many benighted persons who read only
New York -- papers, they remain in total ig
norance of the -facts of Hester Vaughan's
Of the growth and prosperity of Philadel
phia there is equal ignorance in New York,
er else there is a malevolent disposition to
misrepresent both. Two days ago,the New
York .Times, in an editorial article, spoke of
Philadelphia as a city of about 440,000 in
habitants. The editor must have been con
sulting a gazetteer of 1851, and made little
allowane,e for the after—growth of Philadel
phia; for according to the census of 1850, the
population was 408,762. According to the
census of 1860, it was-568,034, and it is be
lieved that - tiro real population was much
larger. The voters of Philadelphia at each
of the last elections were in round numbers,
120,000. These represent a population of
fully 800,000,which is nearly double the num
ber allowed by the wiseacre of the Times.
The census of 1870, if fairly taken, will show
Philadelphia to have a population of nearly
or quite one million. - But all knowledge of
this will be carefully avoided by the New
"loiters, and they will still continue to refer
to old gazetteers when they want to enlighten
their readers concerning Philadelphia.
It is an ascertained fact, which the Build
ing Inspectora' Report for the complete year
will verify, that the number of new buildings
liar which permits were issued in 1868 is just
about -five. thousand. It may be a few more
or a few less, according to the business of
this month, but ,it can — be stated in round
muriberS at five thousand. Permits have been
issued also for additions and alterations to the
number of about thirteen hundred. The five
thousand new buildings are all of briek,stone
or marble; - most of them are substantial
dwellings, but many are costly churches, fac
tories, public halls and other buildings not
meant for dwellings. The whole cost of the
new improvements of a year in Philadelphia
cannot be less than twenty-live millions; pro
bably thirty millions would be a fairer esti-
mate. This is not a small sum to be spent
by individuals / in one year in the improve
went of a city.
But well known as are these facts concerning
the wonderful growth of Philadelphia, they
will never be mentioned, or in any way re
cognized, by the men that plume themselves
upon being metropolitan editors. These will
still persist in speaking of Philadelphia as a
town of 440,000 inhabitants. Not troubling
themselves to create sensations about cases
of wrong or hardship in . thek own city, they
will, when opportunity offers,hunt up another
Hester Vaughan case, and ingeniously con
trive to create an impression that a woman
convicted of a murder and confessing it, in
stead of being punished at least a little, ought
to be made a saint of, and because she is not
thus canonized in Philadelphia, the people of
Philadelphia are heartless savages, and the
Governor of Pennsylvania is a cruel monster,
It is by such mean misrepresentations that
the journalists of New York endeavor to
maintain the character of their"metropolitan"
press.
THE CIVIL SERVICE HILL.
Mr. Jenckes's Civil Service Bill aims at such
a grandly sweeping reform in the whole
American system of office-holding that it
seems almost Utopian to hope for its imam.
diate adoption by Congress. And yet we
have bad one or two such wonderful exam
' . pies of the gulden strides by which this na
_ tion has started forward in the direction of
a perfect form of Republicanism, that men
begin to hesitz , te before they determine to call
anything impossible. The abolition of Ame
rican slavery,by the single stroke of Abraham
Lincoln's pen, seems, even now, like an in
• corwrehensible miracle; and yet it set us
forwia, as a nation, by all the distance that
intervenes between human bondage and
human liberty With such an example
before . us, why should it be deemed a
. thing impossible that such a reform should be
accomplished in the civil service of the coun_
try as is contemplated by Mr. Jenekes's
• bill ?
One of the essential features of the pro
posed reform is that a good man being ap
pointed to an office,he shall be kept in it until
lie is promoted, or until he is removed for in
dolence,inefficiency or misconduct. The re
form ika sweppieg one, and yet the mass of
the people would hail it with real satisfaction.
Its'advantages are manifold. Now, the best
men of the country, as a rule, not only do not
seek; but will not accept office. They can_
not afford to give up established positions, for
the brief tenure of office measured by the
Presidential term; „and so the civil service of
the country is left;in very great measure--for
there are many honorable exceptions—to
that class of plunderers of -the public
treasuries who have made the words "politi
ohm" and "office-holder" odious in the ears of
the people., - . And not only would better men
bold the offices, but the people's worlt would
he better done. 4xperience is essential to
the shocessful
_administration of almost any
branch of the civil service; but as our govern
ment is now constituted, the public officer
spends the first - half - of - his time_in learning
his duties and the last half in trying to secure
THE. DAtut, EVEtiAG BULLETIN---PHILADELPHYA
hts're-sppolntment, and then he is swept
away, to be stioplanted by another man who
must go, through the same unsatisfactory pro
tees. Meantime," his bushiess connections
and business habits at home are broken up,
and it is a very rare thing to find , the &Geri--
can office-holder settling back:quietly or sun
esstully into the:ordinary pursuits of pri
vete life.
Mr.',Tenckes prOposes, not only to establish
the principle of permanency but that of ap
pointmentfor merit. He provides for an ex
amining board, before which , the applicant for
office must, as in England and Prance, pass .a
prescribed competitive examination. The
civil service of the country would thus open
an honorable profession to thousands of
'young men; it would give a steady impetus
to the education ot, the masses; it would fill
the offices with cultivated, respectable men,
who would have before them that constant
stimulus which is derived from the knowr
edge — that - they hold their Posfkrupon — their
own merits and good behaviour. Kr. Jenekes
well expressed the advantages of this steady
discipline in his argument fel. his bill when
he said:
"Not inferior to thezdvsintages expected to be
derived from the proposed mode of admission
Into the Servite is that which will be due to' the
subsequent discipline. The rules and regulations
under which each public servant labors will be
constantly before him; the causes for which he
may be suspended or removed will be Impressed
upon his memory;_tbe certainty that no_ amount
01 personal or political influence can prevent
charges against him If he violates these rules, or
retain bim in his place if he is found guilty of
their violation; and the assurance of reward and
promotion if he excels in the performance
of his duties ? will tend to make him observant,
exact, faithful, diligent, earnest and laborious.
All these influences will create in the civil service
that great stimulant to success 'iso potent among
companions in arms; that esprit du corps, that
enthusiastic endeavor for success; which infuses
a zeal into the career of arms and enwreathes it
with the emblems of honor, although the path
ways to its renown are more often the roads to
death than to living success. Who can calculate
the dynamic force of this power in the civil ad
ministration? We know what it is In war and
under the flag. Let us utilize it and make it
honorable in time of peace and in aid of peace."
There are many minor considerations which
may be urged in favoi of this great reform.
There would be an end put to a great deal of
the present demoralization that is everywhere
seen, among those who make politics their
trade. Under the reformed system, when a
vacancy occurred in office, instead of seeing
a flock of hungry office-seekers swooping
down upon Washington, before the vacant
chair is yet cold, these would be a quiet,
orderly and suitable promotion to fill the post,
from among those who have already been ex
amined and found competent to fill it. The
general elections would bedivested of much
of their violence, intrigue and dishonesty.
And the ordinary pursuits of industry would
not be disturbed by the quadrennial unsettling
of thousands of men who hope to better their
condition by obtaining the brief and uncer
tam honors and emoluments of public office.
We trust that Congresh will take up and adopt
this grand reform. It tends toward the puri
fication-and elevation of our whole civil ser
vice, and therefore deserves the cordial sup
port of all who desire the prosperity and per
petuity of the American Republic. ,
TEE EASTERN QIIESrION.
That bgte noir of Europe, "the Eastern
question," which has been dodged and post
poned and compromised far years past, is
looming up now in a more threatening shape
than ever, and -demanding decisive, perhaps
bloody settlement. The elements of the
difficulty are, the weakness of Turkey; the
eagerness of Russia to despoil the Turkish
Empire and extend its own dominion in the
East; and, lastly, the jealous anxiety of Eng
land and France to checkmate the Russian
move, and preserve that imaginary "balance
of power" over which there has been so
much contention in times past. Turkish
folly and cruelty 'seem likely to precipitate
the collision which, for a long time, has been
regarded as inevitable, between Russia and
the two great Western powers. The war
waged upon the Cretans by the Sultan has
excited the reprobation and disgust of the
people of the whole civilized world, not less
for its utter want of provocation, than by the
hideous barbarity with which it has been
characterized. But the Christian nations of
Europe, to their shame be it said, have stood
calmly by, and regarded, without protest,
- a onslaught of a Mohammedan nation
against a brave people whose only crime was
a love of freedom and of pure religion. The
spectacle of a mere handful of heroic Cretans.
struggling successfully for more than a year
against the whole force of the Ottoman Em
pire, has evoked no manifestations of sym
pathy anywhere but in the United States,
from whence food and clothing have been
sent to the suffering; and from Greece, which
has ventured to furnish the Cretans with muni-
Lions of war. England and France forgot their
religion and their humanity in the presence of
the tact that any movement against Turkey
would strengthen the bands of the Czar. But
Greece has done her duty bravely, and with
an obstinate persistence which indidates that
she is conscious of the support of a powerfu, l
ally. Russia, it is thought, furnishes the in
spiration for her conduct; and if the object of
the Czar in thus aiding the Cretans is to in
volve Turkey and her allies in another war,
he will probably be successful.
The Sultan has protested very many times
against the conduct of Greece, and the cable
now informs us that he has sent to Athens an
ultimatum, requiring an answer in five days.
England and France endorse and approve
this action, and, unless the Grecian Govern
ment recedes entirely from its position, it is
quite impossible to perceive how war can be
avoided.
That Greece will eat the leek in such a
manner is not supposable. She has commit..
ted herself to the policy of assisting the Chris
tians, and, with Russia at her right hand, she
can afford to be defiant. Declaration of hos
tilities on the part of Turkey is then the in
evitable consequence, and if Rusqja ventures
to interfere, France and England, as the al
lies of Turkey, and as her counsellors in this
movement, are pledged to enter the arena.
We can only regard the efforts of two of
the greatest Christian nations in the world to
prop the throne of an empire which supports
heathenism and polygamy,and whose barbs
rism \is a stain upon European civilization,-
as disgraceful. Americans will give their
hopes and prayers to Russia, not only be
cause they desito the downfall of the Turk, but
because they wish success to the Cretans in
their struggle for liberty; and will regard the
overthrow of the Sultan's empire as another
great stride taken in the direction of universal
freedom.

,
The Park Commission of PniladeiPhia is a
body:authorized by the Legislature au ap
proved by the city of Philadelphia. It is
composed of gentlemen fairly chosen, not
with reference to politic,s,but as good citizens,
who could be trusted with 'the 'direction of
the great Park which is to be, one of the chief
and most valuable embellishments of the
city. Acting in good faith, the,Conimission
,
has agreed to purchases of property for the
Perk,procuring it,in many cases,on aripraise
ments below the valuation of the owners.
Some of these purchases were made early last
summer, and the sellers were promised their
money;promptly. The Court has Approved
and confirmed the purchases, but the money
is not forthcoming, because Councils refuse to
Pass the Park loan bill. The persons ,agree
ing to sell the various properties cannot make
use of them or collect rents *out tenants
living upon them. Councils are . &wad, by
- every principle'of hiN and"justide, - to'confirm
these purchases of the Park Cotrunission, and
the delay in passing the loan bill is giving
rise to many injurious suspicions and insinua
tions against the members who resist it.
We cannot give countenance or , currency to
such things; but they can be put :wholly to
rest by the prompt passage 'of the Park loan
bill by Councils at their next meeting.
Throughout the whole Spring Garden
district of this city the shades of night;both in
the houses and in the streets, are a great deal
more gloomy than they ought to be. From
housekeepers, storekeepers and, pedestrians
come constant complaints of the wretched
ness of the light furnished by the gas
trustees. It is just one degree removed from
truth, that the lamp-lighters, when they wish
to extinguish' the litreetlamps, - have to hunt
for the posts with a lantern and a pointer dog.
In consequence of the miserable light, the
streets in the upper part of the , city , are so
gloomy and dark, that the gas might nearly
as well bq turned off completely, for all the
good it does. In the shops and house§ it is
no better. Storekeepers use twice the proper
number of burners, and then hardly anything
but the obscurity is visible,.anil none of them
can conscientiously say to the passer by
"There's a light in the window for thee."
Persons who wish to setvvr read in the even
ing, are compelled to light up a Whole chan
delier before they can do so with any degree
of comfort and ease, and if, unfortunately,
there should be but a single burner in the
room, it Is quite impossible to do either at all.
A small coal oil lamp gives more light than
almost any one burner in that section of the
city.
Now this matter ought to be attended to at
once, and the difficulty, ?f whatever_ charac
ter it may be, removed: If it is the quality
of the gas,let us have an improvement in that
respect; if the pressure is - not strong dinlitigti,
for humanity's sake let the trustees order the
cock at the gas works to be turned round a
half inch further. If the main• is not large
enough—and this we suspect is the trouble—
let it be taken up and replaced ,by a more
convenient one. The people pay enough for
the gas - to have it served to them properly.
They submit to heavy bills; to the imperti
nence of officials who refuse to listen to any
complaint, or any dispute of the amount of
quarterly payment; they affect to believe im
plicitly in the reckless guesses of the men who
bolt into their cellars with the facetious an
nouncement that they have come to examine
the meters; and they admit the arbitrary right
of the trustees to turn the gas off and add a
heavy percentage to the bill if it is , not paid
promptly. But they have some rights. This,
is a free country, and if a gas company takes
popule- cash, it ought to and must yield to a
popular demand for decent treatment. The
spring Gardeners only want justice, and it is
the duty of the gas trustees to see that they
have it.
It is an odd thing to observe the immense
latitude enjoyed by the clergy of the Episco
pal Diocese of New York. Many persons
suppose that the diseißlide and practice of
that denomination are of the "east-iron"
order, and that its ministers are rigidly forbid
den that elasticity of movement that charac
terizes other Protestant bodies. But precisely
the opposite is the fact. Allegiance to Episco
pal authority is evidently a purely voluntary
matter; audit is only because it is the choice
of the majority of the clergy and of the great
mass of the laity, that the eccentricities of the
Tynga and Ewers, which have excited, or are
still exciting so much attention, are confined
to two small' but extremely lively wings of
the great body bt the Episcopal Church. Mr?
Tyng devotes himself to demonstrating
that the Canons of nis Church are
a failure, and spends his time in preaching in
odd places and on odd occasions. Mr. Ewer,
at the other extreme, preaches courses of ser
mons to prove that his own Church is a fail
ure, and illustrates his precepts by out-doing
St. Albans, in his anti-Protestant ceremonials
and teachings. Meantime, worthy Bishop
Potter sits helplessly on the Episcopal throne,
and beholds these uncommonly Broad Church
doings, with a dignified refusal to interfere.
He washes his hands of Ewer, and is deaf to
the sound of Tyng. Webster, defining the
word Potter, says : "kiee Pudder." And Pud
der means "to perplex; to embarrass; to con
fuse; vulgarly, to bother."
The cable despatches from Spain this morn
ing confirm the worst fears expressed by this
paper yesterday. There has been desperate
fighting in the streets of Cadiz between the
republicans and the Government troops,
and the rebels seem to have had the best of
it. Symptoms of discontent have appeared
in other parts of the country, and a general
uprieipg is hourly expected. In the mean
time, the Provisional GOvernment is terribly
embartased by its want of funds, and more
than that, by the great responsibility with
which it is suddenly burdened. If the rebel-
lion against its authority becomes general, it
is a very serlous question whether its duty
will not be to yield to the, popular demand
for an immediate formation of a republican
Government. Both parties are rebels, and
the Divine right of each is about equal. The
postponement of the meeting of the Cortes
until the latter part of January was a great
—perhaps a fatal mistake.
The British Parliament was opened on
Thunday evening, and, strange to say, there
was no royal, speech. No reason is' given
for this omission. Perhaps there was nothing
particular for the Queen to say. Perhaps tho
Alabama business has, through Roverdy

Was the elegant style of hIS clothes. •

lEerrevpondenee of the Phila. Evening Bulletin]
WASIUNGTON, Dec. 11, 1868.—The indignation
over the President's late insulting message has
somewhat subsided. Indeed, no one scarcely
speaks of it except to use expressions of con
tempt. when denouncing its Infamous heresies
and repudiation doctrines. Not a Democrat had
the hardihood to defend the policy advocated In
the message concerning our national finances.
At first some of the Republican Represents
tivea and Senators advocated the appointment of
a committee to investigate the manner in which
the premature publication of the document was
effected; but, upon reflection, it was considered
beet not to exalt the conduct of the President so
much as to order an investigation into any of his
acts, and that the best way to deal with him was
to treat him with the silent contempt he so richly
merits. It la mortifying that so atrocious a docu
ment as this message is must stand upon the
official records of Congress, but beyond printleg
it in the Globe, there will probably be no other'
printing ordered.
GENERAL GRANT'S LEVEE. TO-DAY.
Notice having been given in the morning
papers that General Grant arrived last night,
there Was a large gathering of titled and distin
igniehed visitors at his headquarters this
morning—among them Vice President Colfax,
Secretary Schofield, Governor Bullock, of
Georgia,Senator Chandler, and a large number
of otheSenators and Representatives. General
Grant was very much pressed for time, but gave
each a brief interview, his chief engagements
being upon army business, which had accumu
lated during hie absence.
To-morrow he leaves for Chicago, to take part
in the grand celebration of the survivors of the
armies of the West, on the 15th inst., after which •
ho will return here, and then it is expected he
will mature his arrangements for entering upon
his more exalted position.
Notwithstanding he is visited daily by large
numbers of prominent Republicans, nothing is
known as et as to who will be invited to take
seats in his Cabinet. So far as can be learned,
those who call upon him converse upon general
subjects, and any allusion to Cabinet affairs is
generally warded off by an adroit change of sub
ject.
Iris understood that Gen. Grant will occupy the
White House, notwithstanding the reports which
have been circulated that Mrs. Grant has declared
she would prefer living at their private residence.
Mrs. Grant did not accompany..the General on
his late visit to Boston, it being stated that she
remained In Philadelphia, while he went east.
This was incorrect. She remained here, making
her arrangements preparatory to taking up fam
ily residence at the Executive Mansion, and in
returning social calls she had been prevented
from doing in consequence of a pressure of
other business. ft may _not be generally known
that the etiquette of Washington soclety.barbids
the :wife of the President from returning any vis
its from ladies who may call upon her, and there
le no doubt this precedent will be adhered to un
der the incoming 'administration, for obvious
reasons, BS it would be impossible for any lady
occupying this position, to return all visits of
ceremony or friendship,- hence the propriety of
the rule which releases her from this formality.
TUE ADJOURNMENT OP CONGRESS.
The adjournment of Congress over till Monday,
and the proposed adjournment for fifteen days
for the Christmas holidays, which has already
Passed the House, ead will doubtless pass the
Senate; Indicates that very little business will be
done this session beyond passing appropriation
bills. The probability is, there will be a short
spring session, after the 4th of March, in order to
give General Grant a fair field to inaugurate any
measures ho may have to propose; in which event,
both the President and Congress being in har
mony, there would be no unnecessary delay.
This seems to be the opinion of leading members
here. The adjournment yesterday afforded the
Philadelphia members an opportunity to go :
home for a few days, and they have all 10ft. ,.

Murder in Mery °rioting-A Car Driver ,
Kalied.
The New Orleans ,Repub tam of the Bth says:
About 9 t o'clock Saturday evenine•, Michael
Bradley, a car driver on the Barracks line, was,
with his little; ton; cut several times over the head
with a - hatchet and terribly mutilated byacolored
paesenger, who made his escape. , • •
It appwrs that the colored manwent down in
the Dauphine street car, and as was his privilege,-
entered without the car running from the
stables to the Barracks. There was in, the car at
the time a policeman, a soldier, two men in eh
zen's dress, the colored man, the driver's son and
the deceased. Reaching the Barracks, all got oat
but the colored man. sThe boy had come after his
father to go to supper, and intended making that
trip with him. •
When the car started on the return trip the
driver asked the colored man for his -faro. Al
though the car is need as an accommodation to
the passengers on the other lines, It is eturtomary
to collect taro from transient passengers going
between the stables and the barracks. The col
ored man refused to pay and the driver threat
ened to put him out.
A violent altercation ensued, and at length the
colored man, startingup like a mad man, seized
a hatchet lying on the seat beside him and burled
it in the driver's skull. The boy screamed with
terror and received a blow on the head which
laid dm prostrate on the floor. The driver, fall
ing over the , rail in , front of the car, was struck
another blow across the forehead, the hatchet
imbedding itself nearly to his ear. This, of
course, produced almost instant death. Reach
ing out of the vehicle he seized the mule by the
bridle, and turning the car off the track, escaped--
to the fields.

About eight o'clock last night a fire broke out
In the drying-room of J. H. &. T. W. Dawson's

adjoining part being of wood. The flames were
restrained from spreading, but before they could
be extinguished succeeded in destroying the stock

on stock; including that which was injured by
removal as well as what was constimed, is esti

Is no ineurance. It is not known how the fire
originated, as the watchman passed through the

hour before the alarm was given,and found every
thing all right.

Court to the facts, and asked for the discharge of the
parties._
District Attorney Sheppard veld the question was
one that might arise hereafter, and it ought to
be retied by the deliberate action of the Court.
The discharge under "the two term rule" was simply a
discharge from cvstodv but did not relieve the defend.
ante from responsibility for the offence. Believing this
to be the law he had directed a bench warrant to issue in
order that the question might be determined. ife would
be ready to argue the question at any time fired by the

he was In favor of their dischsuge.os he could not consent

At the request of the prisoners' counsel, Mr. and Mrs.

peared as usual. but it was noticed that forth() first time
since their frequent visits to the mart, husband and wife
conversed together. while sitting in the dock.
At the close of the motion in Gallen's case. Judge
Brewster inquired of Mr. O'styrue what application was
to be medo in the Twitehell case.
Mr. O'Byrne—We came into Court this morning to have
a day fixed for the to bd. Upon Thursday my
colleague received a notice from the District
Attorney that the case would be called for trial
on Monday next. I did not receive the notice until Fri.
day end so this was emetically but two days' notice. It
will be cemetery to obtain witnesses Pont the southern
Part OlNew Jersey and also from Washington and Cin•
cinnattit would be impossible to prepare for trial under
ten days, but we have given the assurance to the Dis
trict Attorney. end now renew it.that upondhe day fixed
for trial we will be ready and will ask no further time.
District-Attorney Sheppard—l gave notice, as the gun
Demon states, that I , would tall this case for trial on
It ondav next, and have been shaping ppublic business, so
far at it could be shaped, to that end. I did so in part
upon therprincirlo that a speedy trial is always desirable:
aid I did eo. also, became the counsel far the prisoners
have.asserted that they desir d a speedy trial,
and I am somewhat surprised at the present ap
plication for delay. I expect to be ready on Monday.and
unless otherwise directed by the enutt, will call the case
for trial. The defendants have had three weeks to pre
pare for trial: that is mr eh more tine than was allowed
in many cases by the zeal of the gentleman who was my
predecessor.
Mr. O'By rue The three weeks will not
apply to this ease, for there was pending
during a portion of the time a writ of habeas corptut
m der which we believed that one of the prisoners would
be discharge d.
It would he impossible to prepare the case in the time
now allotted.
Judge Brewster (after consultation with Judge Ludlow)
—We think proper to fix Thursday of next week for the
biol.
Mr. O'Byrne—l am afraid if that day is fixed it would
lend to further delay._
Judge Breweter—Yelat asked for ten' days. The Com
monwealth will occupy considerable time. The jury will
be called, and in all probability, will not be secured until
Se turday foils Avian. The Commonwealth will then re
quire f hue to present its case, and you will have all the

Mr O'llyrne—There are Investigations now going on—l
say this without disclosing the defence—which cannot be

Judge Brewster—You will hive all the time that the
Commonwealt h is occupyingtin their case. In our view of
the comfit is ample time.
Mr. ()'Byrne — Your conduct, heretefo e, has been criti

The Purchase of flubs.
IliPecial Despatch to the Phila. Evening Bulletin.
WasirmoroN, Dec. I.2.—Many contradictory
statements are afloat about the reported nego
tiations by our Government for the purchase of
Cuba. It .was amrmed positively last night
that Caleb Cushing had been sent to Madrid
by - the State Dep artment to make -au offer
for - The Island, but' an ' examination of — the
lists of , passengers which have stilled from New
York for several days 'past does not show his
name among them. That he has been sent some
where on an important mission is not denied, for
heves expected to argue several Important prize
cases before the Supreme, Court here during next
week; and has notified the parties that he could
not do so. Several members of : the Bones Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs 'believe that negotia
tions are pending which will result in the pur
chase of Cubs. There is a rumor afloat this of
that Mr: Cushing, -Instead of: going to
Europe, has sailed for St. Domingo, to, carry out
the -ideas of Secretary Seward about the par
base of the Bay of Samaria.

The Alaska Purchase Money—An Ex.
traordinary Story—Charges off Car

The Worcester Spy is responsible for the fol
lowing story :
thethe $7400,000 in gold voted for Alaska.
amount, it is no reported, Russia actually
got was $5,000,000 in gold—about one million
pound sterling. This leaves $2,200,000 to be ac
counted for. But with regard to the outside ring,
the third house—the press, .editors and corres
pondents—it is reported that above $300,000 in
greenbacks was spent among them. Mr. Riggs,
a banker here, is said to have obtained from the
Secretary of the Treasury, just at the close of
the debates, &c., which terminated by the pur
chase of Alaska, a loan of the amount just spe
cified. That loan was (if it had any real exist
ence), for obvious reasons, never made public.
Immediately on the receipt by Mr. Riggs,newspa
per men, and others known ae lobbyists, were
the owners of drafts of various amounts on the
Treasurer of the United States, which it is de
clared General Spinner's books will show were
cashed.
"Among the sums specified in these reports
are such items as New York Tribune $20,000:
Manager of the Washington Bureau: $5.000;
publisher of Washington Chronicle. $25,000. The'
correspondents of the Times, World, Boston
Journal, Philadelphia Press, Chicago Tribune,
Boston Advertiser, Evening Post, and others, are
all set-down as having bees paid various sums
each, from $2,500 upward. Some of them are
anxiously inquiring what has become of the
money, as it has never been paid to them. The
daughters of a member from Ohlogot $lO,OOO
each, but this, it is affirmed, was immediately
sent back: Robert J. Walker got $25,000 in gold.
The certificates for this amount were, I believe,
stolen from him in Boston or New York. He
says, it was a professional retainer from the
Ruffian government. He appears also to hove
been acting professionally for his own govern
ment, as some part of the Riggs $300,000 appears
to have passed into his hands."
The N. Y. Evening Post commenting upon this
story, says:
The editor of the Worcester Spy is, we believe,
a member of Congress. It will cost but little
trouble,and no witness fees,to have him examined
skint this matter, before the Senate, which.gon
firmed the treaty—or even before the House,
which made the appropriation, so considerable a
part of which is now said to have been
stolen.
The story is a disgraceful one; and if it is not
true its falsehood ought to be exposed, for the
credit of our Government; while if it is true, the
persons who have been guilty of such
corruption and— thieving ought to be ar
rested. and made to disgorge their unlaw
ful gains.
But there is no likeness of truth in it. It will
be observed that, to make it true, we must sip.
pose the Secretary of State, Mr. Seward, the
Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. McCulloch, tbe
Treasurer, General Spinner, and a prominent
Washington banker, Mr. Riggs, to have com
bined for the transaction of a moat nefarious and
scandalous piece of rascality. We must suppose,
too, the Russian government submitting to be
swindled of nearly a third of the money for
which its Minister had to give a receipt. But
improbable as all ibis is, it deservesinvostigation,
and we truat the public officers so directly ac
cused of conniving at a diegusting theft will
make some sort of answer. What, for instance,
of the charge , that General Spinner's books will
show some traces of doubtful transactions?
What of the charge that Mr. McCulloch lent him
self—and a part of the public money—to this
thieving operation ?
Mr. J. D. Baldwin', the editor of the Worcester
Spy, is not an anonymous person; he is a member
of Congress. Mr. McCulloch and Gen. Spinner
have a right to demand that such accusations,
when made by an oflicial person, shall be either
proved or retracted; and we believe the public
would be gladlolaVe the whole matter exposed,
and will thank these aurora if they will demand
Mr. Baldwin's witnesses.
