THE PROPOSED cum RIRLDI.NGS.
It is a fortunate thing•for Philadelphia that
fhe public and the press are generally harmo
nious in approving of the ordinance for the
ereetion of new city buildings on the South
side of Independence Square. For a wonder,
partisan politics has not been suffered to in
terfere with a candid and liberal considera
lion of the question. This is partly because
there is an absolute and undeniable necessity
for the buildings, and partly because the gen
Itlemen composing the Commission are not
politicians or jobbers. There is a general ad
mission, also, that Independence Square is
the best site that is available, without heavy
cost to the city; the only other site talked of—
that of the Penn Squaree—being away from
the business centre, and consisting also of
four small squares, neither one of which
would accommodate such a spacious edifice
es the city requires.
The Independence Square project con
templates, of course, the removal of the ugly
court houses, the Mayor's office, the hall of
the American Philosophical Society and the
row offices, leaving Independence Hall alone
on the north side of the square. This sacred
and venerable edifice will thus stand alone,as
it did originally, and with a suitable enclosure
and other surroundings, it may be preserved
and kept in order better than it can be now,
especially as the City Councils and Courts
mow occupying parts of it will be accommo
dated in the new buildings. The removal of
the shabby structures that flank it on either
aide will make open and unobstructed ap
proaches to the new edifice from Chestnut
sweet, and as there will be no necessity for
trees and grass plots, there may be a fine open
space on the north front, affording opportunity
for embellishments like those that adorn the
••Places" that are found in front of all the
great public edifices of Continental Europe.
The members of the Building Commission
will, doubtless, consider the propriety of
making the northern part at least as orna
mental as the southern one facing Walnut
street, and there are a good many reasons for
regarding the northern as the principal front.
The vast open space will be, for all the pur
poses of public demonstrations, finer than
anything of the kind to be found in any city
of America, if we except the City Hall Park
of New York, which is susceptible of great
pnprovement for such a purpose. The new
011 y Hall in Boston, which is the noblest
finished municipal building in the country,
has but a small open space on its front, and
this cannot be enlarged without extensive
and costly demolition in the streets adjoin
tag. But the Bostonians have made the most
of the small space they possess, adorning it
with statues and substantial ornamental
gateways.
The projected city buildings in Philadel
phia are not for the public of this year or the
next. indeed, their benefits will be chiefly
/eh by future generations; for while there is
no desire for delay in their construction, it is
expected that the work will go on with such
deliberation as will insure solidity, and at the
"same time distribute the cost to the tax- payers
Illiroogh a long series of years. Nor is there
..any desire that any great expenditure should
be made upon external sculptural ornamen
tation. .0f course a great and growing city,
bnilding an edifice for its government that is
expected to endure for centuries, ought not to
hav6 it.thabby or mean in appearance, any
snore than it ought to have it unsubstantial
or ineenvenient in the interior.' But a well-
Imiltstructure, simple but elegant in appear
ance, is.stertainly expected from the labors of
She Commission. To secure this, there ought
co be no unduelaste, and especially should
Cute be given to allow architects to mature
and prepare good designs. A great public
building is monumental in its character ; and
lam:if : At to illustrate, in some way, the art of
the age in which it is built. The abomina
tions in brick and mortar, that have passed
Ibr city buildings in Philadelphia for genera_
elm were got sp on the cheap
and hurried system. They are not
architectural and they are act monu
mental; they are happily soon to d4aappear,
and the memory of them will only live in the
rude wood-eutprawinge that local annalists
may preserve inscrap-books. Boa the new
City Ball of Philadelphia, which is to be a
monument 'of the taste and liberality of
the city In the latter half of the nine
teenth century, must be a work of do.

cessarily be a work of a long time in its eon=
struction. - The gentlemen on the Commis
sion, however, need no advioe on this, sub- ,
ject. But if they ask for any 'additional leg•: -
'Elation to,enable them to perform their work
in What they consider the best manner, we
promptly...granted__Oy—the_
City Councils. At the meeting of the Com
missioners held yesterday a committee on
this subject was appointed, and their propo
sitions to Om Councils ought to receive early
and favorable action.
TUE TWITCMIELL CASE.
In discussing some of , the features of the
Twitchell case, we have commented upon
the extraordioary looseness of the proceedings
of the Coroner in permitting, and of the
District-Attorney in not preventing,the occu
pation of the premises by the accused and his
counsel during the days immediately follow
ing the murder. The language of the
Commonwealth's counsel was very explicit in
its implication of this state of things. Both
Mr. Bagert and Mr. Bheppard,in their closing
argumente,gave the impression that the prem
ises were taken possession of "in hot haste"
by the prisoner's friends, and that the Com
monwealth was compelled to go to them for
permission to search the house.
This was not precisely in accordance with
the facts of the case, which we have since as
certained were as follows: The murder oc
curred on Sunday night. Daring the three
following days the premises were in charge
of the Coroner. The District-Attorney was
trying another homicide case and could not
examine the house until Thursday, when a
partial examination was made, resulting in
the discovery of the bloody cuffs. Meantime,
letters of administration had been taken out,
and the administrator had applied to the
Coroner for possession of the property. That
officer, however, was instructed by the D is
trict- Attorney-not to surrender the premises,
as be bad not yet oompleted hie examination.
This was strongly urged by the District-
Attorney, who requested the Coroner to bring
the keys to him, in case of any difficulty
with the administrator. Notwithstanding this
distinct direction, the Coroner, on the
following morning, delivered the property
over to the administrator or to Twitehell's
counsel, and then the Commonwealth had to
go to them for permission to visit the
premises. These we believe to be the precise
facts of the case. They relieve the counsel
for Twitchell of the Commonwealth's charge
of "hot haste," while the responsibility of
preventing a fall search by the Common
wealth rests the more heavily upon the Coro
ner, since he appears to have acted with a
full knowledge of the condition of affairs, and
without any pressure of official responsi
bility,—that responsibility having been as
sumed by the District-Attorney.
We still hold that the District-Attorney
was very careless in not making his exami
nation immediately after the murder was
committed. If his other duties prevented his
personal attention to it, nothing was easier
than for him to have procured the services of
an expert detective, and to have made a com
plete search of the house, before sundown on
Monday. This duty ought to belong to the
police department, without any interposition
of the Commonwealth; but, with our clumsy
arrangement of authorities, it does not seem
to belong anywhere in particular. If we
ever succeed In getting,what we greatly need,
a first-rate murder-detective, we shall not
have the ends of justice jeoparded, as they
have been in this case. And with the great
increase of capital crime that there seeing to
be, in these days, the sooner such an officer
is added to our police force the better.
THE CODITEISTLID ELECTIONS.
After a delay of nearly three months, the
examiners have at last commenced their in
vestigations of the frauds of the Damocracy
at the late General Election. The respond
ents certainly cannot complain that they have
been hurried in this matter, and now that the
hearing of the testimony has commenced, we
trust tbat none of those frivolous motions for
further delay, so common in these eases, will
be permitted. It will be greatly to the credit
of the Philadelphia bar if the counsel on bath
sides of this case, while vigilant in protecting
the rights of their clients, will discard every
approach to those pettifogging devices which
are such certain signs of a bad case, and con
duct this contest upon the fair and honorable
basis of a desire to arrive at a true, just
and legal conclusion. If the Demo
crats recently inducted into office
were fairly elected by the people, let them
enjoy the fruit of their victory. We have no
doubt that the people will be abundantly
satisfied, by the experiences of a single term,
that the worst Republican government is bet
ter than the best Democratic one would be—
and the present is very far from the best.
But if, as we firmly believe, these offices are
held by virtue of the moat outrageous frauds,
let the fact be legally established as rapidly
as possible, and the lawfully-chosen officers
be placed in their seats.
Enough has already been developed in the
case of the Mayoralty to show that a few weeks
will work a wide-spread demoralization of
the police force. The guillotine is not yet
fairly at work; but a number of excellent
officers have already been displaced to make
way for men of whom the very least that can
be said is that they are without experience,
and are no better, in any sense, than those
whom they have displaced; while, in some
cases, the new appointments have been made
in deference to the wishes of Alderman
McMullin, and, in others, Mayor Fox has
actually selected members of the Vaux po
lice as the recipients of his favors.
But even if Mr. Fox were a person of the
most eminent administrative ability, and of
the rrfast impregnable virtue, and the most
Roman power of resistance of the party pres
sure that is bearing down upon him, the fact
would remain that he holds his seat by no
righttbat has not been conferred by violence
and fraud. And so of the other offices.
There has been ample time afforded fir all
the preliminary proceedings, and now there
should be no delay. Delay not only deprives
the contestants of their offices, but entails a
greatly increased cipense, and as dilatory
action cannot, change the Anal reenlis, we
trust that i. will be avoided and resisted to
the uttermost.
The question of a great park-for Chin ,kg is
agitating the press of that titY; and a bug
lecture, on the subject of parks, in general,
was lately read before the Academy of
Science by Dr. Rauch. Ile gave very inter
esting accounts of all the principal parks and
_pleasure l grounda in
_the world, includic_ig
Fairmount Par k,witliits proposed extensions.
On this topic he concluded by saying: "With
these additions It will not be presumptuous
upon the part of Philadelphia to claim that
no other city of this continent, and probably
'the world, has more natural advantages and
unsurpassed beauty thau.are included within
the limits of Fairmount Park."

a fire broke out in Jos. L. Whitfield's grocery
store in Belleville, from which the flames com
municated to the adjacent buildings, causing an
extensive destruction of property. When first
discovered the flames had obtained so great head
way that it was impossible to save the store, and
an effort was made to rescue the stock of Wm.
Jacobson's tin and stove store next door. Only
a pert of the goods were saved, and the entire
building, owned by Mr. Wm. Stephens, was eon
sumed.
The adjoining building on the north side was
quickly in flames and was soon burned to the
ground. The building was owned by Mr. John
Dow. The house next adjoining, also owned by
lfr.Dow.and occupied es odwelling by the widow
of )iicholas Stevens, was partially destroyed. The
household goods and the stock of an oyster sa

14 3 RAILWAY OBSTRUCTICD.—The cars of the Chest
nut and Walnut Streets Passenger Railway Com
pany are now jumped from the track and make
the circuit at Fourth street, in consequence of an
obstruction on Chestnut street, between Front
and Second. It seems that in June last City
Councils directed a culiest to be built along that
square. On one side of the street a large water
pipe is laid and on the other aide a gas main.
The only place left for the culvert was the centre
of the street. The railway company objected to
the taking up of the rails, and the matter
was postponed from time to time.
Finally proposals were advertised for
and the contract for building the culvert was
awarded. The railway company was notified to
lay a turn-out, and the work on the culvert was
delayed in order to allow the railway company
to make arrangements to properly run their cars.
No disposition to make any such arrangements
was shown by the company, and on Saturday
loot Mr. Dickinson, Chief Commissioner of High
ways, directed the contractor to go on with his
work. Accordingly, the street was torn up yes
terday, and by the neglect to lay the proper
turn-out, the company and Its patrons aro put
to considerable inconvenience.

Whereas, Philadelphia has seven hundred and

of the company, and such misappropriation of
the trust funds, if true,fs by statute an indictable
mitdemeanor. Themfore be it
Retake& That . a committee of three members
of the House be appointed to investigate and re
port el an early day whether tho rumors of the
foregoing are true, and it so a cony of the report
to be - vent to the Councils of Philadelphia, in

the House to act In the matter.
Mr. Kleckner had offered the resolution from a

The Pistols Used in the Burr-littwil-
Lau Duel.
[From the Newburg Journal, Jan. Al
Yesterday we were permitted to handle the
identical pistols used by Aaron Burr and Alex
ander Hamilton in their famous duel at Wee
hawken. The pistols are now the property of
Harry Armstrong, Esq . of the town of Newburg.
They have been for many years in the possession
of Commodore Salter, U. B. N.,recently deceased,
and were turned over to Mr. Armstrong this
week. They are of the old style of manufacture,
Hint locks. mahogany stocks,the barrels carrying
a half-ounce ball. The barrels are of the "double
and-twist" make. They bear the mark of "J.
Twiggs, London." The platols resemble each
other exactly. The one which was used by
Burr, and which sent the death dealing bullet, is
distinguished from its mate by an X on the butt.
These weapons, we are informed, have been
used in some ten or a dozen other duels, beside
the one which bas made them historically famous.
We are not informed bow many lives have been
sacrificed by the use of them. The last owner
cleaned them and tired them off once a month
regularly while he lived. It, la said that they never
wise firs.
