Thursday, December 21, 1868. CHRISTBLIA 'DAL, In, accordance with the time-honored osage,no paper will, be issued from this office to-morrow. Though, as.the old adage says, "Christmas comes but once a year," it brings, wrapped up in its bosom whole lifetimes of varied memories of the Past, and crowds / within ix? ‘nief• }lours a little lifetime of in , tense , , the countless thousands whoive, ,:ais festal day, blest with giving and receivlnx those tokens of iemembrance and affeLtion, by which men, women and ehildreuxt annemorate the Great Nativity. More tb.e.% thirty years ago, Charles Dick toe, High F lest of the Chiistmas of the Pre sent, wrote "Who can ! - a insensible to the outpourings of good-feeling, and the honest inte r c h ange of affectionate attachment,which , 4abound at this season of the year ? There Y., seems a magic in She very name of Christmas. Petty jealouSies end discords are forgotten; social feelings are awakened in bosoms to which they have long been strangers; father and son, or brother and sister, who have met and passed with averted gaze, or a lo* of cold recognition, for months before, proffer and return the cordial embrace, and bury their past animosities in their present happi ,, ness. Kindly hearts that have yearned to ward each other, but have been withheld by .alse notions of pride and self•dignity, are again reunited, and all is kindness and be nevolence* Would that Christmas lasted the whole yem. through (as it ought) and that the prejudices and paa3sions which deform out better nature were never called into action aryipg those tg Toom they should ever be . atraligera." And Be 'w© give Our :11;;Lids and readers Tiny Tim's cordial greeting "GA ? bless tua, every ones" I=l WOBIE IN COUNCILS& Common Council yesterday passed an ordL • nonce, having in view the purchase of a site for the much-needed House of Correction. "'e are glad to see how stoutly several of the . . A : ' .le i ling members of the chamber opposed this ~.- '. : •bUl.'

Councils' did some better work, than this yesterday. The loud demands of a portion of the public press; echoing the sentiment of the masses of the community, was recognized in the passage, by t3elect COM:tells of the loan bills for Paiiniount Park; the Water Works extension, League Island, the,City ice boat, and the, Gas Works. Every dollar of these loans is 'needed to make - good the obligations of the city,',and to give us those great. Improvements of which We ere so much in need. • The amendment of Select Council to the Gaa Loan bill went back to Common ~, C ouncil, and an attempt was there made to smother it, but this failed. and t,he, ordinance was tingly_ passed. This was' a good afternoon's work. • These Loans would have been made long ago but for the factious opposition of the Democratic minority. We are truly glad that the Coun cils of 1868, among the" many good things they have done, have crowned their year's work by this simple act of -justice to, those' to whom the'city owes this money, and of con eideration for some of 'the most pressing needsof the community. OUR CITY. It must be , evident, even to, those who are not ver observant of such matters, that the city of Piiiladelpbia is paining into a new stage of development Old things are cluing bag-pet; old landmarks—dre-left -behind r the city widens, In every direction. To the north, it is rapidly joining on to Germantown--th the south, the construction of, a great Navy Yard, the extension of, wharves and building of elevators on the Delaware, is doing much and destined to do more. The improve ments in West Philadelphia are en a great scale and_Ste making a city in themselves. This inCrease around the whole circum ference adds new lite and- strength to all the interior parte, :and is itself only a part of the whole advanCe, whicb, however, it continu ally stimulate& Let us examine briefly 'what progress is being made in addition to this one of mere growth. First, the city is to have a great park. In size, in natural advantages, and in attrac tiveness, it will he Surpassed by none in .the world.. This one 'can say advisedly, after having •fully Made an acquaintance with the Bois de Boulogne at Paris, the parks of Lon don and the Cascine of Florence. Next, the city will have a great drive, a magnificent street, of ample.. breadth and length, and inexhaustible capabilities. Again, the architecture of the'city, formerly sombre and Tmonotonons, is undergoing a complete change its character and the use of handsome stone is continually becoming more and more common. And when our citizens fully refilize that the use of Trenton stone or other roughly shaped stone costs ac tually less than pressed bricks (except in case of nine-inch walls), thexe will b , more and more private houses built of stone. The new schcol-houses show what can be done in this way, and suggest imitation in dwel lings. But it is more especially ln church building that our people like to exhibit their taste, and some very beautiful specimens of such architecture are now in course of erec tion. Further, the removal of the disgraceful barracks used as City* and County buildings on Chestnut and Fifth and Sixth streets, and the construction of handsome and tasteful erections on Walnut street is another step in the right direction. The gal enterprise of the city shows itself in such undertakings as the splendid market houses, the vast factories, the skating rinks, stores, shops, dwellings, eze., the.cha racter of which, year by year, improves. Nevertheless, in one respect we continually lag behind, and that is one in which we can least afford to. Our institutions of learning are not what they should be,and we see noth ing likely to aid our city efficiently in this re spect except the devoting of the Penn Squares in the manner which we have before often spoken of, and which would last year have been consummated except for the interfer ence of ,ountry members at Harrisburg. We ask ,our citizens earnestly to consider. In no country gale world has it been found possible that inslitntions of learning should exist Nvithout aid from government. They Wake no money, divide no dividends, - profit in no respect pecuniarily those who support them. They exist only by private liberality. If a citizen or a stranger Visits the Academy of Natural Sciences, or consults a scarce book at the Franklin Institute, does it never occur to him that 4O7fiebocly must pay for all he sees and uses? These institutions are con ceived in the highest spirit of liberality; they accomplish Much, but not nearly what they might with greater means. But they have not that aid which in all enlightened cities is extended to such objects by government. The governments of England, France,' Prussia, Austria and Russia all actually support such institutions, with the abSoltite certainty that no money could be better spent. Here this is not asked for. Government subsidies, an income derived from the city or State, as abroad, is not. applied for. Give these institutions the site to build upon and in a few years we shall see their splendid buildings rise at Broad and Market streets; active, liberal and useful, and dispensing that higher learning that common schools and high schools, indispensable as they are, can not teach. Whilst our city grows in every description of material prosperity, let us not neglect to foster the cultivation of Scieirce and Art; let us not'overlook the fact that we are now year by year losing ground and being outr stripped in this respect by other cities. Col. Wynkoop, the Indian agent, got mad, and threw up hie position some days ago, be cause he disapproved of the military opera tions against the Indians. He is now in Washington lobbying Congressmen and try ing to get General Custer into hot water be eaust he upset Black Kettle and his clan. It was not to be expected that the instruments of the corrupt Indian Bureau would find a great deal .of satisfaction in the vigorous measures adopted by General Sheridan upon the frontier. A sharp, active campaign In-- terferea too much with the little game in NIN BULLETINPRILADE I which they bave.begn :engaged, ;for so many Irmo past. Besides, all thejti,dian agents !hate Sherinannid:Sheridan ,t*iiest adVocaoy of the policy 'Of I traniferring the ;business of the Indian 'Bureau , to. the War Dipartment , ButColonel'WY#otlVs;ros,lB - nation.does nut .by any meansprove that such a policy 18 injudicious:' demonstrates the existence of great dissatisfaction among the Indian, agents, and this Mayiha regarded as a very complete vindicationiOf General Sherman's theories. If all these men could be driven to resignation, we should be even better satisfied. ' ' As for Colonel Wynkoc.p's charge that General ouster's defeat of Black Kettle was merely an ingleriona''viefOrieVei a friendly saVaati, that j3.:(l!sPTo,Nred'by g(Aligudtlxiee of facts. The savage inay,when it suited him, have maintained a pmicefulAttitUde, and he made professions of 'friendship; but 'General Bheri dan proves that he was in the habit of send ing out war parties to' 'stony:the plains and rob and murder this whites. Ganexal Ortater's troops foutid - •their way into Black Kettle's camp by the. trail of band -- . 0 xnavatiders; and.if this did;not give sufficient Assurance of his malignity, the, shocking cruelty exercised by,him against? hi& white prisoners when the attack was made uponlhim would suffice to prove his real temper. The people of this country believe in' Sheridan and §herman; and when-a statement of , theirs.'l 9 'Placesingainst one made by Col. Wynkoop, there will be no sitatibri in okoosing which tO`belleve' We sincerely hope.COligTOßS__Will_laiilyFepresent the PeePte - 44 this matter. • ' r&TENI3OIe9 LADIES MATIO,NAL MAGAZIN; for Janiary,' stuitaing:,thii old; reputetiOri of this fashionable monthly, now secured kitatille fever by a virtuous life of fifty-four volume's.

The crowd this morning was as great as on vrß ßefore the testimony Procellded.t h e Court ditglotitid of the , requeet of the detettce to examine theclothes of , the primeter now in poesession of theiCommonwealth. Judge Brewster esidThe artieles identified by the officers sia the clotilng of this defendant having been ex amined by or. Le and his .opinion having been given to the Jury as to regults of his examhiaxion thereof. the defendant's counsel have moved that the defendant's expert be permitted to. examine them In the presence o f --Tlitartict - dttontel hal" opposed the motiarreeting that be willing that the examinetion shall take place as decked. if the name of the defendanee expert is anti. =hied to and approved by the Commonwealth's; Officers and by the Court- The defendant has declined to submit the name slf hie, maned. and has insisted upon hie abso lute right to have the articles examined, when, where, and by whom he p a cc, conceding only that the 011icers of the Court may be present. The articiei having been exhibited to the jury, and some of them having been headed to the jury. they mutt-be regarded. twin evidence. The defendant 'Mould have the fullest right of exami nation accorded to him conalatent with the preservation of the articles from accidental or - ntentional destruction. II the object is to inspect by the use els/tees, that can be acceaplithed by examination in open Conn, or to an adjoining loom in the presence d officers. If the purpose is to secure a chemical analvida. I think the defend. ant is entitled, as a matter of right, to have each an ex. emanation made by , any expert he may seteet: but to guard against the toreible detruction of important evidence the tests should be applied in the preteece of the. Court. Josue Ludlow said—A motion having been made by the prbeiner's counsel to penult the clothing and other articles which Dr. Levi , ' has examined and identified ea being eprinkl.d. saturated or emeared with the blood of a mam ma I to be examined by come person selected by them.hut not in the presence of the Court, though in the view of an *nicer or officers to be selected by the Court, it becomes neeeteary to state what. in my judgment, ought to be the practice of this albums'. First—it is to be noted that the articles in question. except the poker, have not yet been off red in evidence. and they therefore remain in the custody of the Com. mcnwesith'is officers. This motion is therefore porcine, &conc . —When the articles shall have been offered in evidence they are placed in the special cuatody of the Ceurt to be dealt with as justice requires. Third—Should the Crooner's conmel then desire them to be examined the Com t should me to it that they are low ded from intentional or accidental injury with the most 'scrupulous care, and they may be examined in open court by any persons selected by the prisoner or lite coun sel; or it from necessity the examination cannot be made accurately in open court, thiy ehould he placed in the heeds of any respectable chemist or phy. aCtfill, to bs selected by the prisoner with the consent of tie Court They should be properly identified as the very *Mules offered in evidence by . the Commonwealth be• fon they are delivered to the person who has been ec. lected by the prisoner's counsel, and for this purpose that perms should receive them in open court and they ehould thenbe examined in the , presence of an officer or officers of the court.

Mrs. MIN hal. was con fined he a roll at 'the back of the head by pieces of a comb and by hair-pine; the woolen cap was stilt on the he • d,, and covered, the middle part of- the head and came. to the ears; the back hair wee closely confined in a hard roll; I took it down; the front hair was somewhat dis heveled • it took me some little time to take down the back hair. Croce-examined. —Don't remember the little cap having beads ; it was quite a thick cap; it was overcome of the wounds: there was considerable hair; and .a very thick skull. awls thick crochet cap; the meshes of the cap were irlelose together; it was a soft cap; it wee an or dinary cap such as old ladles wear upon their heads. To Judge Brewster—Don't recollect how it was fast en( d to the head: L don't remember untying strings; the: cap was bloody; the wounds could have bees inflicted on the bead while the cap was on it and without sever ing the carol the cap and hair would offer Borne resistance but not sufficient to save the scalp; have teen wounds inflicted through a soft hat; the fact that the meshes were not cut indica•ed that the wounds were made with a blunt instrument; the blood would make the cap ad here to the head without the aid of strings.

ALLEGED HEAVY FRAUDS. The Vatted States Quartermaster's De. part ment. A The Washington correspondent of the New' York Hof aid has the following: Now the War Department comes in again for charges of questionable dealing, if not of downright fraud. This time the Quartermaster's Bureau is the scene of opera- Mug. There is a good deal of difficulty encountered In ascertaining the exact facts in the case, but what little is knows is enough to show very clearly that certain officers of the army have either been guilty of premedi tated fraud or gross mismanagement, or slim they have bean growl) , wronged. Tho (ante. so far as they are known, are as follows: InJuly and August last, Forte O. F. Smith and Reno, in Montana Terri. tory, * were abandoned and the Ignited States property- was - Bold at auction. It Is contended by many persons who are well acquainted with affaira in that country that the order to abandon these forts created no little surprise, as the necessity for their continuance was then, and is yet. just as great as when they wereestablished. The order, betrayer, was issued., and advertisements, it build, were published in several Wettern papers, announcing that the buildings and other public property at these forte would be gold to highest bidders on or about the let _of ' June. Those who dwelt in the vicinity of these poste were well aware of the value of the public pre• perty there, and its worth was variously estimated at from $lOO.OOO to $200.0 , 0. One individual, believing that in order to settle up affairs as speedily as Donate the officer in charge would probably sell the property at a. large sacrifice. went to the .General.tkommanding and • offered him $40,000 for the whole concern at Fort Smith. 'I he General gave hiss encouragement to expect that hie offer would be accepted. When the pension who made the offer came a few day s later to close the bargain and informedpay aportion that bo could igt t kipre:toPth t :Tr i gpagirPopv e b a i g and when he spoke to him about it before he was not aware that the pr_Operty was already advertised for sale at auction. When the, day arrived uo bidders ap peared, and the accounthig officer took the responsibility of poetponitig it for ten days. At;the expiration of that time a very malt group of persons sere'Resembled. con. sidering the great value of the property for 'sale and the large number of people in that pert of the country who needed lint such materials as were to be eold. The ab 'sena, of bidders vas an indication that there was a crew loose somewhere, and it is intimated that the loose, ccrow was in the feeble manner in which the announcement of the sale was made, At all events,there ware but few per- sons present' end' ail of• them proved to be spectators ex. cept one. Only one bidder could be found; and all the public property at. Fort Smith. estimated to be worth nearly $200.000 nas knocked down to the single bidder for $4.600. This property consisted of several buildings. - or e steam saw-milfrne watermill, saw and grist; a largo quantity of. clothing, camp and garrison equipage. qbartermart.ea 'stores atores, (to 'The steam mill sold for fifty dollars and the ether articles in proportion. Tho only • explanation of this ' alsrming sacrifice of • nubile property is that the forte had to be shondoned, -as the troops Were to Ificwithdra Yr'. and the country Was tilled with hostile indians. The sale was advertised es extensively as umaible for three monthe before it occurred. 't here Is no law which au' horizes accounting officers to sell United States property in any other way than by auction, and that if the property had not been Bold at that ties it would have been normality to destroy it to prevent the In• dians ft‘ni obtaining poseessiou. The property at Fort Reno was sacrificed, it is alleged, in the same manner. and the lucky purchaser, notwieustanding the it of the 13 diune, took off his bargains and realited the tune of $lOO,OOO.

The report of the defeat' hnd surrender of the Princes at Aidsen is discredited at Yokohama-by the sympathizers of the Northern faction, and affairs are simply held in abeyance until a more favorable season. Snow has fallenheavily in the Northern Provinces, and nothing la expected to be done by the Southerners before spring, by which time it Is anticipated that a reconcilia tion' will be effected. In the meanwhile trade Is languishing and matters becoming worse. ‘' At Osaka and Kobe the paper money issued by the 'government is at 45 per cent. dis count. Paper money was also to be Issued at Yokohama. Several Japanese have been pun 'abed for refusing to receive the paper money. ;The Northern Princes have kilned a manifesto defending theireause and stating their grievances. Owing to the great increase in trade in tea,silk, and silkworm eggs, several Japanese merchants have failed to fill their contracts with foreigners, and the govezninent, therefore, desired that the accounts of merchants be hereafter examined by the proper officers, and only rich men licensed.
