31/IJE'2IEIIV ACTION ABOUT PUBLIC
For at least ten .years past our city has been
laboring under every species of inconveni
ence connected with its public edifices, by
psteon.of lhe contention which has existed as
tO the proper site for erecting new ones.
Papers of the most important nature con
nected with the titles and property of almost
every citizen in the community, wills, records
afy conrts, deeds, and generally all documents
which it is of paramount importance to pre
serve safely, have been kept in places either ;
not at all, or, at best, imperfectly protected
egrdzist danger by fire. And not only this,
but the offices - in which they are stored are so
badly constructed that a proper supervision
of them by the officer in charge, is impossible.
Few of our readers, we imagine, have any
knowledge of the large proportion of docu
ments that are lost or stolen. We could men
tion a case in which a city was defrauded by
a contractor; some years after, on searching
,for the records of the transaction, it was
found that every line connected with the
transaction had disappeared; had evidently
been destroyed by parties fearing exposure.
Further, our court-rooms are so badly
planned and insufficiently ventilated that the
air becomes poisonous, to the extreme incon
venience and suffering of all who have busi
ness in them. .Nor is economy effected by
all this. Extensive accommodations have to
be hired for different branches of business
from private parties at heavy expense.
When, therefore, provision was made to
end this state of things by the passage of an
Ordinance for the erection of a new building
upon Independence Square, by a decisive
majority of both Councils with the assent of
the Mayor, it was generally felt that a long
contest had been terminated by a wise deci
sion, and that the much needed improvement
would go on at once.
Nevertheless, Common Council on Thurs
day, took this matter up again and by a
strangely inconsistent vote, altered its
former decision by passing, by a small ma
jority,an ordinance changing the site to Penn
Square.
This action represents simply a factious
opposition. It is well known that no such
change will, find favor with the Select branch,
and that it is now too late to alter a decision
which hasbeen generally acquiesced in, even
by those who at one time preferred the former
position.
The feeling throughout the city in favor of
an appropriation of Penn Square to institu
lions of learning is extremely strong. Oar
eotemporary, the _North American, in an
article which we republish elsewhere, re
marks that in these institutions "we should
have a splendid resort, open alike to all, free
el eharge, the richest and the poorest, the ed
ucated and the ignorant, the cultivated and
the unrefined, strangers and residents. Such
an institution would be of immense advan
tage to our university and collegiate institu
tions, and would have the effect of attracting
students from far and near—a thing of no
mean importance in view of the great efforts
made by other cities to render their colleges
:attractive and popular. Aside from this,
these collective galleries and libraries would
attract scholars and men of science•Trom all
.qassters, but more especially from all sec
*me of our own country."
The same journal remarks that it is noticed
ty all that trade seems to have nothing to do
theimprovemente on Broad street. This
,b not wonderful, for except in small towns,
Ike business districts are always separate from
these,in which buildings for edueatlon,for ex
hibition and fornmusement collect. Phila
delphia is not to be modelled on the plan of a
country town, in which the railroad depot,
the theatre and the show-house are next door
to the court house. In London, for example,
the institutions of learning, buildings for
amusements, dro., ezo., are miles away from
"Lombard street. Similarly in Paris and in
hew York. Are these the best models, or
shall we adopt the country town style just
spoken of ?
But the placing of the public buildings on
Penn Square is in reality, out of the question,
and the only effect of this new demonstration.
if it be possible for it to have any effect what
over, will be to set the wnole matter adrift
.again for another series of years.
'MUM ALLEGED FRAUDS AT THE
NAVY It
At last we have the evidence upon which
Judge Kelley based his assaults upon Coief
.Engineer &Her, of the hillticielpuia Navy
!Yard, and upon the whole engineer corps of
Abe Davy. It is in the shape of u report of a
.Committee of three—herded by Judge Kelley
.—appointed by the Naval Committee of the
pOrusel of Representatives to investigate tue

alleged frauds,in the prirchatiepf,t42olo,.
- report presents the ' testimony of certain per—,
- SODS regard to lie:. efficiency of the tools .in
question. Two of, these witnesses are experts!
, 1
who are; superintendents of large' establis4l
merits in this city; ' a Mak; ROwbotham,'
ex-master machinist ) at the yard ; sail
enemy of Mr. Zeller's; the others ate me-,
chanica who'are still employed at the Navy
Yard. The testimony of the latter may fairly
be considered impartial; that of the two first
gentlemen certainly is so;and if it is to be re—
ceived tvithout.questiori it must be regarded
as in ri great degree condemnatory of the
tools. But. we are, at least, entitled to cities
ii9n the value of some of it from this tact: rue
Mr John Bilkbeek who is qu)ted in Judge
Kelley's report as finding fault with the tools,
presents. in the report of the investigating
committee of Chief Engineers, another state—
ment in which he says:
"Tbe tools are better than are usually found in
shops doing thilline work, and possess especial
bthuniatzte for that purpose. I think their par
elapse a judicious one. I was examined before a
mutt:l,ll.lu of t h e House of Representatives, *
* * * and the cliarnettr of that examination
was decidedly not such as to elicit from me a cor
rect and proper expression of my opinion as to their
quality, construction, andfitnessfor the execution of
(he work for whicit they were purchased.'
Whether the examination of the other ex
perts was equally partial, we do not know;
but this statement . suffices to throw a doubt
upon the entire business. Even Mr. Row-,
botham, who, in Judge Kelley's report con
demns the tools, in Chief-Engineer Wood's
report admits that the bad work done by some
of them, may have been the result of incom
petency in the workmen.
But, even admitting that all this testimony
is honest, impartial and true,. the engineer
board present testimony, as we stated in a
fornier article, from about thirty well-known,
respectable and, unimpeachable eiperts, who'
praise the tools quite as enthusiastically as
Judge Kelley's witnesses condemn them.
This would reduce this part of the contro
versey down to a mere question of veracity,
or, at least, of,,judgment; a question wpch
we cannot pretend to decide.
Mr. Kelley, in the House of Representa
tives,' charged Mr. Zeller with fraud, and the
engineers' board with connivance with it.
The charge is repeated in this report, under
the head of "fabricated evidence." Mr. Zel
ler is said to have forged price lists purporting
to be genuine documents, issued by William
Sellers & Co., and Bement & Dougherty.
This is a serious allegation—the most serious
of any in the charge. Messrs. Sellers & Co.
say that the price lists are genuine, but that
they did not intend them for bids for this
specific work. Messrs. Bement & Dougherty
state that the figures have been altered in
theirs. In opposition to this, two of Mr. Zel
ler's assistants, one of them a regular officer
hi the navy, swear that they obtained the
price lists from the two firms, and offered
them intact; and that they expressly stated to
the firms that their object was to purchase
tools. Here, again, we have a question of
veracity, which we cannot pretend to settle.
It is not entirely impossible, however, that a
mistake was made on both sides; the firms
expecting to make bids apart from the regular
price lists; the engineers accepting the price
lists as bids. There is no evidence of crimi
nality on either side, unless we are to believe
that Mr. Zeller's assistants altered tile figures
in the lists, and then deliberately swore that
they had not done so.
It must be confessed that the report of the
investigating committee of engineers, headed
by Mr. Wood, presents a stronger array of
testimony, more explicit approval of the tools
by experts, and a more detailed comparative
statement of the capacity of tools, with the
prices of different makers, than the report of
Judge Kelley's committee. We think any
impartial man who takes the trouble to ex
amine the matter will\perforce admit this;
and conclude that if Mr. Wood's witnesses
tell the truth, the too* c after all, are service
able, worth the money paid for them, and
cheaper than new ones would have been, ex
cepting, perhaps, in two or three instances
But Judge Kelley's report IS entirely satis
factory and conclusive upon one point. It
demonstrates very clearly that Chief Engineer
Zeller has been culpably careless in the man
agement of many details of his department;
in delegating to subordinates work that he
should have done himself, and in accepting
their advice and suggestions in matters
in which he should have exercised
hie own judgment. He cannot be blamed fur
the simple purchase of second-hand tools, at
a price lower than that charged fur new ones;
for theprder sent to him by Chief Engineer
Isher*ood eipressly directed him to examine
tools of that character and purchase them ii
it should be desirable. We think indiscretion
and a very loose, unbusiness-like way of
doing things, are the worst that can be
truthfully charged against him; and this is
quite serious enough when the responsibility
of his position is considered. Chief Engi
neer Johnson, the machine inspea r s,of the
yard, is also convicted of gross negligence
of his duty in certifying to the excellence of
tools which he had not examined critically,
and of whose good and bad qualities he knew
almost absolutely nothing. All this, hubbub
is the consequence of the carelessness of
these two officers, and they have nobody to
blame but themselves that they have got into
hot water. But while their inefficiency and
neglect deserve severe reprobation, it is quite
impossible to perceive in what manner the
whole engineer corps have made themselves
liable to Judge Kelley's charge of "stupidity
and corruption;" or how matters will be im
proved by placing a civilian, appointed by
political influence, at the head of the engi
neering bureau.
Our attention has been called to the fact,
which had escaped our notice, that the bill
which has been introduced into the •Legisla.
lure by the Medical Society of Pennsylvania,
regulating admissions to insane hospitals,
contains one excellent improvement upon the
law suggested by the Association or Medical
Superintendents. It provides that the physi
cian's certificate shall be sworn or affirmed to,
as well as "acknowledged" before a magis
trate, This is an important improvement
which will meet with general approbation.
With this exct ption, and that of substituting
the words "law judge" for "high judicial
fficer," the bill of the Medical Society adopts
the precise Janguage of the Medical Superin
tendents.

POETRY ABOUT MAN AND BEAST
The beasts of the field are clothed with hair,
The birds of the air with feathers ;
Both birds and beasts have plenty to wear,
Exposed to all sorts of weathers.
The reason - the birds and-the beasts go thus;
It Is certainly now decided,
Is because no clothing is furnished by ns,
Such as for man is provided.
But human critters would deem it a sin
In feathers and furs to dress, so ;
And so each human covers his skin
With pants and with coats and vests, oh!
And men by the thousands are clothed with goods
Which we run some tremendous mills on,
And the men of the nation crowd to buy
The clothing of ROCKS ILL & WILSON.
Rpekhill & Wilson would mention, by way of
pussing remark, that there are still a few clothes
left, of the same sort, going, going, going, at the
same unprecedentedly low prices. Man, bein4
superior in understanding to the boast of the
field, or the fowl of the air, will show his under
standing by taking advantage of the present con
dition of affairs, and hastening to buy at the

Jam 21st, 1869.—Mr. Joseph Harrison, Jr.—Bin
In my last communication to you with regard to
your six fifty horse power steam boilers, I pro
mised to give yon at a future time the exact
amount, of saving in fuel.
I am pleased to be able to do so now, as I kept
a very close and accurate account of the fuel
used Irom December, 1867, to December, 1868, in
order to compare your boilers with the old ones,
which wo took out in September, 1867.
The amount of raw sugar we refined during
that time was larapr than ever before. The
Means pressure was always kept over fifty pounds,
and we were therefore enabled to do snore work
in a shorter time with the same machinery and
`apparatuses than with our old steam boilers, In
which the pressure at times could not be kept up
higher than twenty to thirty pounds.
The actual saving in fuel daring IbisUm lift,s s..., ra
one thousand and seventy-one tone of coal.

yours,of the 7th inst., would say it gives nio•
great Pleasitre to bear testimony in favor of your
boilers. We have had them in use for two years.
I put them up myself, and , had never seert_any
thing of the hind until they came here, and;with
the hid of your draft I had no trouble in erecting

provided- with a comfortable chair, and
he- sat In the- corner, presenting-, a
profile to the audience In the rear. Since his
trial and conviction there has been little change
In his - appearance. • He conversed readily, and
without displaying any nervousness. with his
friends; among whom was McCully, who created
the Ectne when the verdict of guilty was ren
dered. The court-room at ten o'clock was
not greatly crowded, as it was not known that
the ease was to be disposed of. But the fact be
came soon known outside, and by 12 o'clock,
when the four judges. took their seats on the
bencb, the room was crowded to Its utmost capa
city. A number of females were included in the
thronfq-and these, In common with the ether
spectators, manifested a. deep Interest in the pro
ceedings. As the questions Involved in the mo

interest to members of the bar, there was an
anxiety on the part of the lawyers to hear the
determination of the Court.
JUDGE BREWSTER'S OPINION
Commonwealth iv. George S. TwitchelL, Jr,—Motion
for a new trial.
Nissan-art Judge.—This is a motion for a new trial.
Twenty-five reasons have been submitted in stmoort of
this application. They have been argued at great length
and have received from us most careful consideration.*
We shall endeavor to eiSPOM of them In their order.
Timis& !d and gd reasons refer to certain remarks at.
ltged to have been made by the District Attorney in his
elmaddress to the jury.
ve-notheen-referre&to any case in which a sew
trial was ever granted for similar ressona. If the caner
widens alluded to were made. they were perhaps but a

ibese, to say that upon tte conclusion of the body of the

would be mad and answered: One of the counsel for
the defendant thereupon rose and stated that

After this public disavowal of all exceptions, it might

with the Commonwealth's ofheere in denouncing most
fiercely the barbarity of the deed. There.was not, then
there is not now any queetion as to degrees of crime,
Nor could there well be cry disputation on this point.
There was no evidence. no pretence of hot blood, of con

could define this Mime as aught else than murder in the

It_vvas intended in this' part et the charge to group-to.

house and saw the body. Mr. Altgelt did not belong to
tide elan, and was accordingly not noticed in this con,-
nection. lie bad been referred to. bovrever, at some
'teeth and the jury had been instructed; that it- Altgelt
were believed '`the defendanals- theory of a burglary
would be etnegthened or estailished." And again. "iss

open back doors-the evidence of Altgelt and any -other
facts yen can recall."
Nor wan any it. justice done to the defendant in this be..
half.a for th e question of time was inn° way withdrawn
from the jury.
. _
The 12th reason cremate that the Judge should have -
called the _attention of the Ivry to the fact that Altgelt
bad communicated to others that he had seen two men
lea,* the house, and to the °minden of the District At-
torr CY 10 contradict Altgehitin thin particular. _
These matters WI of very trifiine importance TheY
ho d been urged upon the attention of the jury by the de
fendatea counsel. and "-unless it is the la*
that a Judge is bound to repeat and enfants
every argumert of the accused, there is surely
nothing in theireanon. The trial occupied over a fort
night-v.lth many double eessions mianding to a late
hour.: To require that a charge ehould. , after such an in
vestigation, not only notice all the Mini:lWe of a case , but
der ripen 'every mnisorion of counsetwonld impose upon
the court a labor in many carets impossible of perform-
ante: and in all cues fireless in its +application. Such a
recapitulation of a cave would serve rather to. bewilder
Um Memory than to enlighten the understanding.
Itts ales to be borne in mind in the considereion of
these reasons that the jury were distinctly told that "no
comment the court might make en the evidence was in
any way binding upon the jury"
They wet e also instructed 'to Moe to the defendant lat
every stage of their inquirleathe benefit of his character ,
of the presumption of innocence until guilt la clearly ee
tabrished. and of every reasonable doubt."
They were further warned to "guard thameelveS most
carefully against any •prevenceivedldeas. which might
lead them to reason inaccurately."
They were eeen c eat ioned net ter accept the admission
that Mrs. krill had been murdered, but "to look at all the
surroundings to see whether , they repelled every ore
*eruption of suicide-for it Is well," the 4.io' art added.e"to
accept no concession and to prove all things."
In support of the defence that the deed bad been corn.
tatted by a burglar, the testimony of Mr. Albeit
was referred to at eon's length. The jury were iiho re.
minded tent the defendant's witnerses. Mune Wilbur.
There. IClift. "felt and Caesid• had proved that "the
door could be unlocked without making, any noise
which could be heard'hy a person on the outside. " The
anbetence of their evidence was recited and the court

al p,arently trifling circumetance, you will , carefully
consider sill that has been said upon this .subject. If
you find that the noire of unlocking the door could nut
has e been heard by Sarah Campton, then you will o
court° reject ,that portion of her testimony." • • • •
The jury were also told that if they
believed A itgelt the defendant's• theory of
a burglary would be strengthened or 'established.
More than this, the Jury were told they could
adopt the theory of a burglary, even though they did not
credit Altgelt. The language of the charge on this point
was in them words:
- - - .
".11 you do not believe him (Altgelt). do you find from
thecircurnetance of the bark doom being open, or from
any other , fact you can recall, that the prorate°, were un
lawfully entered? • • / It la for the jury to" take

cided by the jury againet the defendant, and the Isw
cannot disturb their verdict •
, The motion fe therefore o verruled.
• As the Judge pronounced the last ominous words, "the
motion for anew trial is overruled." a silence lasting for
the trace of one or two minutes fell upon the crowd.
