A POIPIUGAIEt vicronw.
The decided action of the Republican Sena
torial .caucus yesterday, in reference to the
forestalling scheme, - which - has been so per
sistently pressed upon the Senate, may well
be regarded as a-positive victory of the people
in favor of two most important • principles.
The great masses of the Republican
Party have expressed their generous confi
dence in General Grant by electing him to the
Presidency almost by acclamation. They
desire that he shall enter upon the govern
rent of this country with temtrammeled
bands. They believe in his wisdom, his
Patriotism and his sterling integrity. And
they,have looked on with unfeigned disgust,
while a little clique of politicians have con
cocted and developed their scheme to forestal
General Grant by pushing men, nominally
Republicans, into important offices, hoping
to' keep them there after General Grant's
secession to the Presidency, on the principle
that "possession is nine points of the law.
'his principle of leaving General Grant to
manage his own government Is one of the
elements of yesterday's popular victory.
The second principle involved in this Con
test with the forestallers is that which de
mands, as a cardinal doctrine of the Repub
lican' party, that the civil service of this
country shall be placed in the hands of
honest-, capable and reliable men. This doc
trine, which lies at the root of all retrench
ment and economy in Be civil service, and
without which any political party must
perish from its own corruption, was neces
sarily ignored in the forestalling scheme, as
it could only be carried out with inferior
inen,who would be willing to take a position
in reference to the incoming administration
from which the best men of the Republican
party would instinetively shrink.
The principles of the people have tri
umphed over the tricks of the politicians.
The Senate of, the UnitetilState.s, mindful of
its own dignity, mindful of the great public
intereitsi involved in these appointments of
Andrew Johnson's, and mindful of the un
mistakable tokens of the public will, has set
its foot upon this unworthy scheme, and the
Republican Senators, by a vote of more than
three to one, have resolved not t) confirm
any more of these forestalling appoint cents.
MAO:settles the question in a way that will
et thabeartiest approbation of the people
401'017Wliel:e.
-111- • bringing about this result, which, we
are• satisfied, will go far to strengthen and
iensolidate the true power of the Republican
party, the action of the members of the
Meuse ef Representatives has undoubtedly
hid a large influence. The people are in
dehted for this action mainly to Messrs.
O'Neill, Myers and Broomall, by whom the
petition to the Senate was drafted and the
signatures ebtiiined. A portion of the press
or • New York has lent its power
ful aid; while, in this city, the
Ninsuro Bur LETIIA has had the honor
of fighting the people's fight single-handed,
until the Inquirer has recently re-inforced
the cause by several excellent articles on the
subject According to the theory of that
sapientlegislator, Ur. E. W. Davis, who has
recently immortalized himself by his intern
put and-Impartial criticisms of the Republi
can press, the other Republican papers of
Philadelphia, not having disapproved of the
&inhalers, are to be counted as favoring the
scheme. We hurn„ine that our several neigh
boruwill not avow their acceptance of the
Bade theory, in reference to a scheme which
his thus, to use a phrase coined in the
Twitchell case, "been kicked out" of the
/knit° as Unworthy of the countenance of that
respeetable body. •
We heartily congratulate the Republican
party upon the overthrow of this naischiev-
ORB scheine. 'lt has been fought through
with desperate persistence, and with all the
complicated powers that its principal mana
gers know so well how to use. It has been
defeated simply because it was radically
wrong in its principle, and, as regarded some
of, the offices at least, an affront and insult
to the good moral sense of the great masses
of the people. Now, "let us have peace!"

•
Much, clamor bas been raised by the Demo
cratic prest - about this -01130, charging the
magistrates with partisanship and Mr. Myers
and his counsel with needlessly lengthy cross
examinations. The facts of the case put this
boot upon the other leg. Eighty citizens
have been called to prove their votes Ihr Bit
Myers, who have been subjected to such an
amount of badgering and cross-examination
as to exhaust half-an-honr with each witness.
On Monday, a witness was sailed by Mr.
Myers AO prove his vote. He was personally
known to Mr. Moffat as a legal voter, yet he
was kept one hour in cross-examination on
the witness stand. This shows pretty well
where the delay comes in. The case is a clear
one, and the'proof already adduced is enough
to bring a blush to the cheek of any Demo
crat who claims to be an honest man.
STEAM TO BREUER.
The business men of Philadelphia have
long felt the need of direct, communication
with some German port, and we are glad to
learn that there Is. atiaet_a good prospect of
the immediate establishmentoof a first class
line of steamers between this port and Bre
men. Messrs. ROger,Brothers, of New York,
propose to transfer four steamships, the
Northern Light, and two others, to this
port, BOA?, run them regularly, for freight
and passengers, between Philadelphia and
Bremen. It is proposed to ask for tempo
rary aid froni the Pennsylvania 'Legislature,
in the shape , of a subsidy , of
five thousand dollars per round trip,
for the first year, the trips
not to exceed fifteen in number. The ag
grandizing policy of New York has hitherto
prevented Congressional aid to Pennsyl
vania for any such purposes, and it is on this
account that the projectors of this new enter
prim come to Pennsylvania' herself for aid.
It is scarcely necessary to argue the import
ance of securing, not only to Philadelphia,
but to Pennsylvania, the advantages of a
direct steam communication with Germany,
and we trust that the modest subsidy asked
for a single year, in order to set the new
line fairly afloat, wilt be granted by
the Legislature. It is a narrow and
short-sighted policy that permits New
York, and even Baltimore, to reap
the benefit of Pennsylvania's ocean traffic. It
needs only a little more liberal public spirit
among our business men and our legislators
to restore to Philadelphia, and through her;
to Pennsylvania, all the' rich benefits of a fall
share in the direct trade of this country with
foreign ports. We cordially commend the
project of this line of Bremen steamers to the
favorable notice of our representatives at
Harrisburg, and trust that they will act in
this matter with a wise and liberal regard to
the most important business interests of the
Keystone State.
THE PUBLIC BUILDINGS,
We observe that the Public Build
log Commission is already disturbed
by the agitation of the old question of
the relative merits of Independence and Penn
Squares. Mr. Mahlon Dickinson, a member
of the Board, yesterday renewed the old op
position to Independence Square, making the
extraordinary assertion that there was not
room enough in Independence Square for the
proposed buildings ! The area needed for
the several public offices, courts, &c., is es
timated at 200,000 square feet, and
Mr. Dickinson seems , to have as
sumed that all these rooms must
be spread out upon one floor. If this gentle
men's ideas are not more practical than this
supposition of his indicates, he certainly
should not be a member of a Board which
requires a very large amount of good, quick
common sense. Col. Page took the correct
view of this matter when he argued that the
Commission has nothitigwhatever to do with
the question of the site of the buildings. That
has been settled by Councils, and, as we un
derstand it, settled forever. The idea that
there is not room for the Public
Buildings on Independence Square is
simply absurd, and we trust that
if there is an element in the Commission
which has got in there fur the purpose of
continuing the agitation of this subject,
in
stead of executing the instructions or
Councils, some way will lye speedily faind
to ensure perfect harmony in carrying out
the important duties which have been en
trusted to thit4 Board. If any of the mem
'
hers are not satisfied with the action of Coun
cils in the premises, they should quietly give
way to others wh, will take the work up
cordially and so carry it out efficiently.
An able young man employed by the Et
Louie Republican to do up the sensational
business for that paper, publishes a long des
cription of a liege cavern which, he asserts,
has been discovered upon the spat selected
for one of the piers of thu bridge to be built
across the Mississippi liver at St. Louis.
After giving a lengthy account of the wonder
ful inscriptions upon the walls of the cavern,
and of the etatues,uteneils and other evidences
of an ancient civilization found in, the re
cesses, this sagacious chronicler makes the
following statement:
"One of the magnificent groups la Intended to
repreoent Aheauerue crowning Queen Elizabeth;
and in another group of coloeeel flgurea repro
denting captives following the car of a victorious
conqueror ale portraits of Luke, Deuteronomy
and the friend going into captivity."
This certainly is remarkable; but it only
shows how important an agent art is in pre
serving the truths of history. Ahasuerus was
supposed to have perished in his prime; but
this "group" proves that he lived to a good
old ago, say about 3,000 years, and officiated
at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth. Ho
may still be wandering about the world some
where, and it would perhaps be well for
Congress to appoint an investigating com
mittee to hunt him up and advertise for
him.„, His large experience , in government
might make him an available candidate for
the next Presidential election; or if his views
chanced to be too aristocratic, .we could con-
fidently recommend him rcor the throne , of
Spain.

which might judiciously befilled with com

Broad street is likely lis Very hand
semely impioved, as SOO all `the railroads
are out of it. We are informed that a few
gentlemen who met casually, a short time
ago, were dismissing the subject of the
wooden pavement on North Broad street,
which was highly praised •bY all. Although
not owners of property on the street, they
agreed ranting themselves that -if _a . sub
scription was undertaken for the purpose of
extending the Ilicolson, -or :some other
equally good improvement,> dowri to the
Boulevard, at Federal, street, they would put
their names down for.certain amounts, named,
which ranged from $lOO to $l,OOO. It is
almost certain that such a project will be
carried out, and Broad street, thus improved,
will be an advantage as;well as an ornament
to the city.
A good deal of enterprise is displayed by
two or three of the morning pagers, which
have succeeded in producing the interesting
letter addressed by Messrs. Sellers & Co., of
this city, to the Secretary of the -Navy, in
reference to the controversy , over thelaileged
frauds in the Philadelphia Navy Yard. The
letter in question was published in ths..EvE.N

21st, 1869.—Mr. Joseph Harrison, Jr.-13th : In
my last eommunleation to you with regard ,to
your six fifty home power steam boilers, I pro
mised to give you at a future time the exaet
amount of saving in fuel.
lam pleasel to be able to do so now, as kept
a very close and accurate account of the feel
used bout December, 1867, to December,lB6B, in
order to mu ;m.o. your boilers with the old ones,
which we took out In September, 1887;
The amount of raw sugar we refined during
that time was larger than ever before. The
steam pressure was always kept over fifty pounds,
and we were therefore enabled to do more Work
in a shorter time with the eame machinery and
apparatuses than with our old steam boilers, in
which the pressure at times could not be kept up
blear than twenty to thirty pounds. '
The actual saving In fuel during this tithe was
one thousand and seventy-one tons of coal.
Yours, indy r GUSTAVUS A. Jsserta,
Superintendent.

yours of the 7th lust., would say it gives me
crest pleasure to bear testimony in favor of your
boilers. We have had them in nee for two years.
I put them np myself, and had never seen any

the aid of your draft I. had no trouble in meeting
them.
They use lees coal, never get out of• repair in

Purett—Justlee Williaans.—Parrish vs,
Mundell. This was a rule for judgment for wan
of a sufficient affidavit for defence. and as the
question involved is ono of interest, we give the
opinion of the Courtin fall. Opinion by Wil
liams J.-
This is a rule for judgment for wantof a suffi
cient atßdavlt of defence. The suit in on a for
feited' recogniPohce of bail in error in the sum of
$5OO. The vise:tiff has filed a statement of the
Wrest of his claim, amounting to $760 87, anditer
asks that judgment be entered against the de
fendant for the amount of the penalty of the re
cognizance. The affidavit for defence raises two
tines: lone.
First—ls the plaintiff estopped from maintain
ing this action on account of pendency of a
former suit in the Common Pleas of the city and
county of Philadelphia on a recognizance of
bail on a writ of certiorari, to Alderman Settler,
in which the Items of his claim, as set out In the
statement died therein, are substantially the
Same as in the present action ?
Beeoad—lsi he entitled to recover any portion
of the rent of the premises accruing subsequent
to the date of the judgment before Ald..Beitier,or
any part of the damages claimed for repair of
pavement, hydrant, roof and ceiling. or of the
damages claimed by Messrs. W. J. is r. Eaglistt
foe adversary possession by the defeudant's prin
cipal of a part of the premises sold to them by
the plaintiff?
Ito snit in the Common Pleas is not for the
same cense of action. It is brought on a differ
ent teeogoitance, different In date, amount and
tone ofits condition. Though the-plaintiff seeks
so recover In his action on that recognizance a
part on all the items of claim sought to be re
covered in the snit upon the rem:gale:ince In
this case, it does not follow that the cause of
action In the same. A party holding two
or more securities for the samedebt may sue upon
all of them at the *erne time, though he will net
be permitted to have but one satiafaetion. The
plaintiff, then, is entitled to maintain this action,
notalthatanding the pendency of the salt in the
Common Pleas. But there is more of substance
In the objection that the - platutaff is only entitled
to recover the amount 01 the judgment affirmed
by the Supreme Court, with Interest and costa.
The condition of the
_recognizance is
in these words: That •tri plaUttiff in
error prosecute bin writ of error with
effect, and If judgment be affirmed or the writ of
error be diacontinned or nonproesed. that he pay
the debt, damages and costs adjudged or accra•
lug upon such judgment, and all other damages
and costs that may be awarded upon such writ of
error, or else we (the sureties) will do it for
him. This ift the whole engagement and stipula
tion of the reementeont. If, therefore, the plaintiff
to error fall to prosecute his writ of error with
effeetaind to pay the debt, damages and costa ad
judged or, accruing upon the judgment, and all
other damages and costs that may, be awarded
upon ench writ of error, the sureties are bound
to pay them. Bat they cannot be mg aired to pay
any damagte except such as are adjudged upon
the jade:nen ear such as are awarded upon the writ
of error. The plaintiff therefore is only entitled to
recover the amount of the judgment affirmed by
the Supreme Court, with the interest and costs
thcreor,including the costa in the Supreme Court
as Mud by the Prothonotary, unless other d im
ages and coats were expressly awarded by the
Court. The condition of the recognizance of
bail >in error differs materially from the
condition of a recognizance m the case
of a certiorari to sjeidgment of an alderman un
der the provisions of the ad of April, 1830. There
the security is required to be absolute for all coats
that have accrued or may accrue in case the
judgment shad be affirmed and also for all rent
that has accrued or may accrue up to final
judgment. The act of the 13th
of June, 1836, under which the rev-peni
tence in tete case was entered into,
sakes no provision for the payment of the ac
cruing rent, and therefore the plaintiff is not en
titled to demand it in this action. The defendant.
when be entered into the recognizance, did not
stipulate to pay the acernirg rent, nor any dam
ages that the plaintiff in error might do or suffer
to be done to the demised premises.
the plaintiff elect to take judgment for the
penalty of the recognizance to be released on
the payment of the debt, interest and costs of the
judgment aforesaid by the Supreme Court, and
the costs taxed and awarded en the writ of error,
She rule for judgment will be made absolute,
otherwise it will be discharged, and, upon the
plaintiff signifying his election, the Prothonotary
is directed to enter the proper order of record.

sent to have evening sessions for general debate.
No objection Was made, and an evening session
for general debate for this evening was ordered
in Committee of the Whole.
Mr. Wealth:ant. (ill.) desired that the House
should come to an understanding in relation to
the public business, as the indications were yes
terday that the House was not disposed to gn to
the, public butdoeffe at all. There were but thirty
one Working days of this Congress left, and there
were six of the most important appropriation
bills not yet acted upon by the Rouse.
h The Committee on Appropriations had en
deavored to do its linty faithfully. Its members
bad remained in Washington during the recess.
and given their attention to the preparation of
appropriation Mils. It was for the Repub
lican Bide of the House to determine whether
they should refuse to do public business, or
Ebould devote themselves to the discussion and
passage of all sorts of schemes, and thus compel
an extra session of Congress, to run up to July,
and break down the incoming administration,
and sink it deeper than ever plumeiet sounded.
Mr. Lynch inquired if the gentleman from Illi
nois did not consider a bill in relation to cur
rency and finance a matter of public business.
Mr. Washburn° replied that by public business
he meant the appropriation bills.
The Speaker stated the business that was press
ing on the _attention of the Rouse. There
was this bill to provide for the resump
tion of , specie payments ; the Constitutional
Amendment; a bill relating to suffrage. The
Chairman of the Election Committee had given
notice of his intention to call up the Georgia
contested election case. The Retrenchment Com
mittee had.zothied, the Chair that it,had impors_
tent business to present to the House,
and them were four or • five- sec

could be called up at any time. There were also
one or two special orders, and the Chairman of
Committee on Ways and Means "(Mir. Schenck),

Housx.—The committee to try the' contested
election case of William N. Bunn (Republican)
vs. David 'Witham (Democrat) made a report
giving the seat to*Mr. Bunn, who was BWOill
The committee say 'that five witnesses testified
they were part of a gang of ten men' who went
from poll to poll In this Legislative District, re
ceived their tickets from a man at each: poll who
was recognized by a string in his bntton-hole and
a Democratic bade; voted the tickets without
opening them, and by changing their hats and coats
managed to east at least oie hundrett and
thirty-five fraudulent votes. These Ave witnesses
were supported by two others*bo bad watched
them. None of the names of the witnesses are
mentioned by the committee in their report.
Mare was no evidence tending to implicate Mr.
Witham, the sitting member, and on motion, of
Mr. Davie (Rep.) the salary of a member for the
session was given to him. The following bills
were considered :
An net divorcing H. Leiter from his wife.
Cause—money troubles. The bill was passed
and sent to the Senate. The wife deserted the
husband after fifteen years of married life.
An actrdivorcing Eldreth Hurlbut from Olivia,
his wife, was considered. Hurlbut married a

to her, be treated her children badly,wished them
to have different food from that of hitttself and

arid' had been Married for her money. s It also

How General Banns was to Supersede
Gen. Grant at Vicksburg.
sVAsnutiairoo, Tuesday, Jan. 26,1869,—1t has
recently been stated, with a great show of author
ity ae well as of novelty, that during the Vicks
burg. campaign Gen. Banks was peremptorily or
dered by the Government to relieve Gen. Grant
of command. Mr. Stanton has denied this flatly.
The only foundation for the story consists In the
fact that Bunke was constantly and repeatedly
ordered to co-operate with Gen. Grant, and that
if the forces of the two Generale had come Into
contact, ae General Batlike was the senior, he
must have assumed, command. All this was
known to General Grant at the time, and la frilly
set forth in General Badean's Military illotory.
On page 101, General Bodeen says: '
• "It tenement'' , to a correct uin_leretanding of
all these operations and due to. Gen. Itilleck, to
keep constantly in mind teat MaJor.,Gon.'
