THEPLAN sIF THE PEACE SOCI E rY.
The Peace Society of this city has its little
theery3n regard to the proper method of set
tling the Indian question. Among others it
offers: The following propositions: The In
dians should be interested in and employed
upon the Pacific Railroad; they should be in
duced to adopt peaceful pursuits.; the army
and the agents should be withdrawn; they
should choose their own homes and b 3 un
molested in them; the way should be opened
for-the admission of the Indians to the rights
of citizenship, and we should "encourage the
appointment from their own midst of repre
sentatives to remain at the Capital of the
The trouble with the Peace Society is, that
it proceeds upon the rather irrational theory
that the doctrine of total depravity is a mis
take; that fallen man walks uprightly; thrit
this wicked, old terrestrial globe is a little
Heaven here below, and that the millennium
has already come. Arguing from this basis,
its conclusions are absolutely correct. But
the"mass of mankind—including Several very
energetic philanthropists—hold directly con
trary opinions. If Indian braves were all
Wilberforces, the squaws all Florence Night
ingales and the papooses little cherubs, we
should,have no difficulty in arranging mat,
ters: But these beings are savages, who have
bad habits, and who would not hesitate to in
sert jagged arrows into the body even of a
member of the Peace Society, if they got a
chance; or to remove his scalp, or mangle
him up cruelly. We believe in treating the
Indians with the Most liberal humanity when
ever such a course is safe and possible; we
sincerely wish they could be civilized and in-
United in peaceful pursuits. But if they ut
terly refuse to accept civilization, what then?
Their interest in the Pacific Railroad is ex
hibited in the manner in which they throw
trains from the track and butcher the passen
gers; they refuse to remain upon their reserva
tions, or to cultivate the ground when they
are there; they will not accept the privileges
of a citizenship for which they are not fitted
and which they do not understand; certainly
they are hardly ready to help legislate fur the
country. Withdrawal of the army and the
Indian Agents at the same time, would simply
expese the population of the frontier towns
to massacre, and if the Peace Society should
happen to be holding a meeting in the locality
upon such an occasion, we seriously fear i.
would Boon resolve itself into a council of
War.
The fact is, this Indian question is one of
bard, i practical facts, and the wisest and best
men of the nation perceive that, in its present
condition, an application of force offers the
only possible eolntien.. Whatever the cause
of the troubles,—and without doubt the
whites are largely responsible for them,—
there can be no peace now until the Indians
cease their hostile demonstrations. When
we do king them to , terms, transfer of their
,affairs to the War Department, and the ap
pointment of responsible army officers to the
agencies, .may prevent any further out--
!make. At present the theories of the Peace
Society AM wildly impracticable. If the
mtrubers will be a little more reasonable,they
will win greater respect.
sit uz.1.14.
In commenting recently on the subject of
experts we mentioned the interesting and val
uable fact that the living skull is much more
readily fractured than the dead one. The
bealiz. - of this fact. upon such a case as the
murder of Mrs. Hill is very obvious, as it dis
poses, An great measure, of much of the evi
, deuce given by some of the medical experts,
or, at letst,deprives it of its practical weight.
.We understand that our assertion of this in
, portant.fect is called in.question, and the fact
itself
~flatly denied by some medical men
4aiming to be experts. We believe, how
, ever, that it is strictly true. Our authority
for the assertion is one that is recognized ai
among the highest in the .scientific world.
or. Caspar, of Berlin, the celebrated profes
sor of,Medical Jurisprudence, and the leading
, official errpertin Prussia, lays down this fact
,in his.yalusible work on Medical Jurispru
,deuce, ,as the result of a long and inter
cslingeerlettofewriments,and one that can
not be doubted or,denied. Caspar is an "ex

be determined whether they are ante or post

is almost imposed)le to inflict them upon the
dead body. Of course medical men will dis
agree upon this, ai they d o upon mos t o th er

THE DAILY EVENINGI3UUETIN-PHILADELPHIti, FRIDAY, JANUARY 8,1.869
THE NEW Immo° BUILDING4I"
The ordinateb pr_hyldirig for:the oonstrno
lion of new city and cOuntY builiiings upon the
Walnut street front of Indopendenoe r Square ,
was signed hythelitiYor the last day, or
December, and is now alaw. This ordinance
provides that - Within one month after its pass-.
age the Commispioners named in it shall ,
meet, organize and elect a Rresident from
amongat their own number. They shall ad
vertise in at' least two daily paPeralfor three
weeks for plans and estimates, and shall,
within three months after their first meeting.
determine upon and adopt a plan, and also
which portion of said plan shall be first exe
cuted. They shall thereupon advertise for pro
posals, and award them to the lowest and
best bidder. And whenever they shall deem
it expedient they 'shall proceed to the von
struction of further portions of said building.
Provision is made for the immediate expense
of the commission, in advance of funds, by
taxation. •
We would specially urge upon the Com
mission That such terms should be offered as
may induce our best architects to compete.
It is scarcely to be expected that architects
with a large regular business should take time
to perfect and draw out elaborate plans, with
the prospect of certain loss, unless chancing
to be the successfurone. Such an arrange
ment inevitably•throws the competition into
second-rate hands. A lair 40ffer should be
made to our best architects for a plan from
eaeb, to be paid for whether adopted or not,
and to beconie the property of the Coin
mission.
The adoption of a really bad plan would
be equivalent to a sacrifice of perhaps half a
million of dollars or more. Even the differ
ence between two good plans; the advantage
°Cone over the other, might be equal to a
hundred thousand dollars in the construction
of buildings such as these. Liberality to
architects will in the end be the best econ
omy. It is cheap building on paper, com
pared with stone, brick and mortar.
UOCUS CONFESSIONS.
Whoever is manufacturing the bogus
letters, confessing the murder of Mrs. 11111,
is doing his work in a most transparently
bungling way, The Petroleum Nasby style
is very badly kept up, and any "expert"
could point out the ear-marks of these miser
able forgeries in every sentence. There is
nothing in the least clever in these stupid con
trivances in behalf of Twitched, and it is
quite impossible that they can have any but
an unfavorable effect upon the case. They
are too palpable to mislead the most credu
lous, and there might be some wonder why
any respectable paper gives currency to such
paltry tricks, it there were not so many
other evidences of the morbid appetite for
the sensational, *without the slightest regard
to either the proprieties or the probabilities
of the material used to gratify it.
A motion is to be Broiled for a now
trial of Twitchell, and Ida ppml are far
too shrewd to pave the mv,for it by such
contemptibly shallow devices as a series of
bogus confessions purporting to be written by
the real murderer, in a bad imitation of the
Nasby style, which betrays itself in every
other line. They may be written by some
ignorant friends of Twitchell, as their contri
bution to the desperate line of his defence.
If his counsel can ascertain their author,
they would better their client's case
by suppressing these absurd pro
ductions. We only call attention to them
because there are plenty of people in a large
city like this who are always ready to be
crammed with the most indigestible sensa
tions; and there are, unfortunately, too many
newspapers, whose one idea of soccessful
journalism is to cater to this unwholesome
love of the marvelous and sensational. That
such expedients as these bogus confessions
should produce the slightest beneficial influ
ence upon Twitchell's case is not to be be
lieved.
General Dulce, the newly—appointed Cap -
tain General of Cuba, has begun his adminis
tration well. The statues of Isabella and all
he symbols of the Bourbon power, remain
mg in Cuba, have been destroyed, and a pro
clamation has been issued guaranteeing to
the people of the island freedom of the press,
the right of meeting in public, and representa
tion in the national Cartes. This is not all
that the Cubans have a right to expect from
their rulers, for larger privileges hive been
extended to the people of Spain by the Pro
visional Government; but it is an enormous
stride forward in the direction of perfect
liberty. It is a matter for sincere regret that
measures were not taken at an earlier day to
confer these benefits upon the Cubans. The
direct cause of the existing insurrection was
the persistence with which General Lersundi
clung to the shadow of the &Jerboa rule, and
his refusal to abate one prerogative of the ty—
rannical power conferred upon his office by the
monarchical government. The curse of Spain,
since the beginning of the revolution there,
has been the procrastination of its leaders.
The evil effects of delay have been very ap
parent at-home ; but in Cuba an insurrection
has been begun which may result in the en
tire redemption of the island from Spanish
rule. It is very doubtful now if General
Dulce's proclamation will have any ell set
upon the insurgents. Their success has been
great, and their treatment by the government
has been extremely cruel. Reasonable hope
of success and a bad passion for revenge will
be likely to induce them to reject any over
tures on the part of their adversaries. Gen
eral Duke came too late, we fear, to accom
plish anything in the interests of loyalty and
peace.
Economy is evidently to be a main feature
in the policy of General Grant's adaliniatra
don. All that he has uttered since the elec
tion, on the subject of the national expendi
urts, has been in favor of retrenchment.
His particular friend, Mr. Washburn°, has
also, by his speech in the House on Wednes
day, confirmed the impression that the new
administration is to be an economical one,
which will oppose all appropriations except
those absolutely neeeesary,aud will thus bring
the annual expenses of the Government, far
(tam the annual revenue. ,

of 11. e public debt, and a restoration of the

One of the most serious results of the Of
fenbach madness which is now raging in this
country, is visible in the decline of legitimate
opera. : During the present season we have
Lad in our Academy but a.single Italian op
era troupe,and that of a third-rate description.
The.coming months promise absolutely noth
ing. Max Maretzek hinted vaguely at his return
in the early spring, butle will give us only
the same semi-decayed artists, and
a repetition of- the sauna' operas.
In tha_meantime'; there are , 41111'4-
dozen opera
_bouffe companies in the
country, drumming out Offanbach's hand-or
gan Music,' and executing the accompanying
imbecile contortions and grimaces. The man
agers who have not yielded to the frenzy of
the hour, are afraid to make a venture in
genuine art ; while those who might have
done better things, are wielding _the baton
before a lot of wretched low comedians, wao
were selected from second-class French thea
tres, in which they had grown stale. Those
who have an interest in the advancement of
true art in this country,and who desire to see
and hear the great artists with. whom Euro
peen audiences are delighted, are inspired to
hope for a better day only by the reflection
that as the bare-legged drama, which was the
rage for a while, finally disgusted the people
and was withdrawn, so the Offenbach jig
tunes willprobably soon become tiresome,
and give place to the music of the masters of
the art; while the French buffoons will can
can themselves off the stage into legitimate
obschrity.

be given at Musical Fund Hall on Saturday after
noon next. the following programme will be

Mr. Carl Roeso
Overture—Orphee aux &dein (first

Waltz—Begone, Dull Care (by re

March—Army of the Republic Hoffman.
The Unfinished Symphony has only two' move
ments enure, namely, allegro moderato, in B mi
nor, in throe-four time; and andante con moto, in
E major, in three-eight time. The scherzo was
begun, but never finished. Thia,thc eighth Sym
phony, is a posthumous work,and was composed
in 1822. The autograph score Ls in the possession
of Anselm Biittehbrenner, at Gratz, a friend of
Schubert, himself a composer, who has arranged
Schubert's Symphonies for the piano. Spina, at
Vienna, published the score and parts in 1887,
and it thus has all the attractiveness of freshness
and newness. Wherever it has been heard it has
been received with expressions of pleasurable
delight. It is one of those works which, by its
clearness of score, its marked motivos,ite melodic
suavity, and well-adjusted proportions of move
ment, must commend itself alike to the admira
tion of the amateur and connoisseur.

Madame Part pa-Rosa's success in San Frau-
CISCO, where she appeared both In opera and con
certs, was really immense. Seven concerts only
were given before the opera season commenced.
The gross receipts at these were over $lO,OOO.
The opera season commenced on the 3d of Au
gust, and continued until the Ist of October, and
the subscriptions for twenty -five nights, at $3O
each, amounted to $16,000. During the :lease.)
there were given 41 opera nights, including oene•-
nts, three oratorio nights and three sacred con
certs on Sundays. The gross receipts of the opera
season (not including the concerts) amounted to
$7O,OeU in gold, which, it must ho confessed, is
cluing pretty well for a city l 130,000 inhabi
tants. Previous opera seasons in San Francisco
had generally been failures.
Alter an interval of a week's rest, the troupe
started on a concert tour through California dud

DIRAIII OF GElliEll&L UOESSE'ILII.
General Lovell Harrison ttonateau, whose
death at New Orleans is announced, was born in
Lincoln county, Ky., in 1820, his father having
beettn cousin. to President Harrison. He was
altneld, wholly seltedneated, hut he labored so
that be WO enabled to study law, and was ad
milted to the bar at Bloomfield, Indiana, is 1841.
He was a captain of Indiana volunteers In the
Mclean- .war. Afterwards he was &Med
to the State Senate. Moving to Louisville
in :1849, he was sent also to the
Senate of Kentucky. When the rebellion broke
out he raised two regiments of Kentuckians for
the Union cause, but had to encamp them in In
diana, out of deference to the Kentucky awes
sionista. When Buckner threatened Louisville,
he crossed over for the defence of that city.
Boon after ho was made Brigadier-General of
Volunteers, and served under Buell in the battle
of bbiloh. He also commanded a division in He
llcat's corps in 1862, distinguishing him
self In the battle of Perryville, after which he was
made a Major-General of Volunteers. His career
throughout the war was quite a brilliant one.
He was commissioned a Brigadier• General in the
regular army in 1867. On the purchase of Alaska
from Russia he was sent thither by
the United States to receive possession
of It. Returning thence and having adopted
President Johnson's policy towards - the rebels, he
was sent to New ofieIIDEI as commander of the
Filth Military District His course there has not
been such as to secure the confidence of loyal
Men, though of late he has been considerably re
strained by orders and instructions from head
quart( rs.

Fates.Ye Jam 8, LBO,—The money market is daily gain
ing strewth, and the banks are evincing a more accom
modating spirit. '1 he demand for money is still quits
active, which accounts for the high rates demanded, and
wbk h the easy turn in the market does not otherwbse
ye, 4;1 0 Y t but as currency continues to pour in from the
West for employment, there must, by the middle of next
swath at furthest, be a considerable reduction in the
present rates. The supply of currency has been greatly
increased by the disbursements in payment of dividends
and Interests on the , part of the Government Treasury and
hictrporeeted institatlons e and as soon as thus% furaP sh 41
have -ound their way into the proper chance's of trade.
It a ill give comparative ease to the market, and atd ma
terially In'the revival of trade. Call loans may be quoted
at GOO mi. cent. on Governments- There were some
transactions on the streets for tirst•claas mercantile paper
at prices rangir g from 8010 per cent.
'1 here Is ne perceptible change in the condition of trade;
the ugh the improved tone in financial circleahy restoring
public confidence, is a hopeful sign of a speedy revival.
The recent failure of a large rawer refiner, which we
noticed 3 es'erday, produced some excitement in limited
circles brt the cons quences are, happily, not of such a
stature as to cause much inconvenience or embarrassment.

CITY BULLETIN
TOE. HUSH FOR Or is the day
fixed for Mayor Fox to receive petitions of appli
cants for police appointments. This morning
the rush of the hungry office-seekers w,s very
gnat. Although 11 o'clock is the hour fixed for
the reception of those "patriots" who desire to
wear the municipal star, the office
was pretty well crowded before ten
o'clocg. When the Mayor emerged
from his private office in order to receive the
re ports of the LIE IlltellatitP, it was necess•try fur
Acting . Chief of Police H. G. Clark to clear a
passage way to allow His Honor to get to his
official "throne." Durirg the reception of the
reports the crowd kept on swelling, and finally a
squad of the Reserve Corps had to be summoned
to keep the would-be-volicemen from pressing
too elope upon the desk of our Chief Magistrate.
Anybody Who was unfortunate enough to have
ether business with 'the clerks this morning
hadn't the ghost of a chance of getting anywhere
nt ar those gentlemen. A crowd had also gathered
on the staircase and out upon the sidewalk.
9 fit r 11 o'clock, clerks, messengers and all hands
engaged about the office were kept "as busy as
bees" in taking the petitions from the "onto" who
ore anxionti to become "Ins." The crowd about
the door on Chestnut street and on the sidewalk
assumed such proportions that it was with much
difficulty that persons could pass along
the pavement, but a suit of
clothes was In the greatest danger if an at
tempt was made to get into the building. Seve
ral of the shining lights of the Fourth Ward
crowd were moving about among the assemblage.
A policeman has generally been looked upon
as an individual who can stand any
amount of cursing, beating, and 'kicking;
but the great number of citizens, good,
bad and indifferent, who are now aspiring
for the position would seem to indicate that a
new era Is dawning for those who wear the brass
buttoni and blue coats. All sorts of. people are
re presented in this grand army of seekers after
municipal honors. Some' are well dressed, and
others present a very seedy appearance.
The "rich Irish brogue" is largely represented
and the "sweet German accent" has a very fair
show." What is to become of all of these office
hunters it is difficult to conjecture. If everyone
was furnished with a star and a club there
would be a policeman to almost every
house in the city. As Mr. Fox only
has about 700 appointments, even if he
would make a perfectly clean swoop
of the present force, there must necessarily be
thousands of disappointed Democrats. This
is not the, end a of the matter, either.
There are many more Fridays yet
upon which the Mayor will be troubled by his
friends who so conscientiously adhere to the prin
ciple, "to the victors belong the spoils."

Flutter iln the 'Post 011tlee Departnuinti,
aipecfal Despatch' to the Phila. Evening flollettua
WAsnmorow, Jan.. 13.—Thero 113* 'quite stutter
among the Post Otilatoillelahrover the Proposed
investigation - into the , alleged frauds in that de
partment and 110 coalr e =Rita cirlidil; IVelh3;
Fargo & Co. The Poet Mee lobby are working
hard to prevent this investigation, and hope;to be
successful. It should be known that the state
ments telegraphed froM here in defenceof the
department emanate, irem the Correspond:4lM
who are closely identified with certain operatiens
in that department. One correipondent holds
a lucrative position of Postmaster in Pernisyl
vams, although residing in this , city for years.
Another is clerk of the Post ()lace Comnittee
of the House, which has thus tsr stood up eggarely
to Mr. Randall; and a . third 'loses no opporta
nity to advocate all measures whicht meet Mr.
Randall's approval. Other cases; of fraud tiuM
those charged will soon be made public. As yet,
the Auditor's Bureau has not leaned the Warrant
on the Treasury for the payment of money to
Wells, Fargo & Co.,as ordered to by Mr. Randall,
and it is probable`that the Auditor will decline to
do so, but will hold it over until Congress takes
some action in the matter. ,
Inauguration of Gov. GitUmberlain.
Acor:era,ME. '
Jan. B.—Governor Chamberlain
was inaugurated in the presence of a largo crowd.
His address was short. The message mainly dealt
with State matters.
The public debt has been reduced $37,000,the
total debt now being $5 053,500,m1:tick will fall
due In 1871. The Governor takes strong ground
in favor of capital punishment, and intimates
that unless the law Is changed he shall feel it his
duty to Issue his warrant for the madden of
every person convicted of murder.
In the question of the constabulary act, be says
It fa repugnant to the deep settled notions of mu
nicipal I ights. Ho says the available water power
in this fitatb, to the amount of upwards of a mil
lion horse power, Is equal to ,that of fifteen mil
lion men.
No one can fail to see that the seat of manufac
tures of New England is yet to be within the
limits of this State; when we consider that in
Massachusetts and Rhode Island the water-power
is worth from 050 to $4OO per horse power, and
ten to in some plaCes for $7O per • year for each
boree-power, we see how immediate and great a
source of wealth lies in our natural resources.
Hi recommends that the State loan its credit to
railroads, and favors biennial election of State
tAllecrs and melons of the Legislature.
