IPriday, January R, ISM/. 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upon the Pacific Railroad; they should be in duced to adopt peaceful pursuits.; the army and the agents should be withdrawn; they should choose their own homes and b 3 un molested in them; the way should be opened for-the admission of the Indians to the rights of citizenship, and we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 pert," in tin truestsense of the term, and he meals that so thoroughly sound 4/3 this prin olPle that, where a body Is found with inju ries r.pon the head, nod it cannot, otherwise be determined whether they are ante or post mortem wounds, the nature of the fractures of the *hull wilt decide the point, because it 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 etib,jects, but until sonie higher authority than that of the great Prussian expert is pro ducal, his Vicium, boned the caved• - mente which he recites, ouuto to acid vy,b carry great weight. " We know that hi views, upon this subject are sustained by some of the leading scientific men of Prfitivielphi whoze opinions arc entitled to the kiiotent re- 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. , ''here must ben beginning of a reduction of 11. e public debt, and a restoration of the nati2nal currency towaids something like a •pecie basis. l'nerc can be no such while he i xpenscs el the Government are kept up lt !heir late extravagant figure, while Con 2rcssic nal appropriations are exceedld, and while an army of cormorants attached to the vniious "Rings" arc prey!ng upon the' üblic land There !Mist be fi check put also Upon , the'Tteasnrg Department,'which hashrinany . cases violated lawAn paylt% \for unauthorized dohs. The Johnson and MCCulloch regime has but a few weeks ,longer .to continue its profligate ~e xtravagance. •'Under Grant, and ;with such men as. be Jo sure to gather around him in the <departinentsT the people hope for and expect a thorough financial re form. 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. DRAMATIC) AND —The thirteenthAentz-Hasslor matinee will be given at Musical Fund Hall on Saturday after noon next. the following programme will be prt sen led- Unfinished Symphony, B minor Schubert Piano Solo—Song of the Spinning Wheel, Litton'. Mr. Carl Roeso Overture—Orphee aux &dein (first time) • Offenbach. Waltz—Begone, Dull Care (by re quest) Strauss. 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. —At the Arch this evening A Flash of Light ning will be presented. —The Orange Girl, with all the handsome scenic effects belonging to it, will be withdrawn at the end of this week from the Walnut. On Monday Mr. John E. McDonough will appear in After Dark. —The comic opera entitled "66" will be re peated at the Theatre Comique this evening, and to-morrow afternoon and night. —A miscellaneous entertainment will be given this evening at the American. —7'he h'ibernicon—a panorama of the most beautiful scenery In Ireland—wil be exhibited in Concert Ball to-night. —On Monday morning next, at Trumplees lialkie store, the sale of tickets will begin tor the Parepa-Rosa Concerts, at Concert Hall, on Wed nesday and Thursday evenings of next week. 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 eastward, visiting San Jose, Stockton, Sacramen to, Marysville, Grass Valley, Virgiuis t.htv, Ails tot, Salt Lake, Omaha and Council Bluffs. The ElleetPti was everywhere the same, and even the Mormons rushed in great numbers to hoar Ma. dame Parepa•Rosa. The receipts pf the two concerts in Salt Lake City were 413,200 in gold.

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.

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." 20,3 , 0 05 204,697 02 220.807 02 267,011 05 DEATH OF AN ILDITOR.-M.F.

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.
