The iaßt Legislatiire appointed a Special ©ommitteeofthe Senate to inquire into the whole subject of the charities of Pennsyl vania, with a view to establish a Board of State Charities. The Committee, which was a very excellent one, to wit: Senators Worth ngtonand Errett, and State Superintendent Wicherebahi, has made a very interesting re port, which may be made the basis of judi aiouß legislation. The object of the pro posed Board is to furnish to the Senate official information of the condition of all charitable and correctional institutions which are sup ported or aided by the State, and to exercise a general supervision of their operations. Through the operation of such a Board, pro perly. Administered, the present irregular and capricious method of State appropriations would be dispensed with, and such a fair, and liberal apportionment of the State chari ties could be made, as this great subject de mands. JPennsylvania has just cause to be proud of her charities. They began with the early foundation of the Commonwealth, and have kept: pace with her advancing growth, and the ever-extending circle of the needs of of fering and sinning humanity. The following table, compiled from the Special Committee’s Report,Rhows what the State has done in this noble cause: Total. 1808.

The private con tributions of our people, flowing through these and kindred institutions, are numbered by millions. A few of these, which we have at hand, will serve to show that the people at large have not left the great work of charity to be done by the State alone. The follow ing are the private contributions to half a doze a institutions, and are but a specimen of what JjfMbeen dope in like proportion through hundreds of other channels. Penna.

The various institutions which have been reared as monuments to the humanity of the people of Pennsylvania have been, almost without exception, most admirably managed, and the work which they accomplish in reforming, correcting and preventing crime, and in alle - viating ana'ministering to human suffering, cannot be estimated. Under the systematic supervision of euch a Board of Charities as it Ib now proposed to establish, their efficiency will be greatly promoted, and proportionate aeeults, in increased good to the whole com .affinity, may be reasonably expected. PENRsmania vs. eiue. The extraordinary and entangled policy of fee Erie Railtoad Company, under all its dif ferent manipulators,has continually surprised fee public and perplexed its stockholders. It imh recently been grasping at various through fete railroads at the West, with the view of owtndlng other Eastern companies from feose lines. In connection with the bank rupt Atlantic and Great Western Company, h had negotiated for a long lease of the Columbus, Chicago and Indiana Central BaUroad. But when the stockholders of the latter were consulted, they not only refused to ratify the lease, but ratified one to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The sur prise and chagrin of the Erie Gamblers when the facts became known may be imagined, but can scarcely be described. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company, by a this new lease, secures a new and very direct •dbunuuication with the great West,and with the Pacific Ratiro&ds and their tributaries - The Erie gamblers are still trying to deprive it of the Fort Wayne line, and are doing their best to depress the stock of that line, si) as to buy it up at a low rate, it is tr, he hoped that this project wil! be frustrated as the other has been. But even if it should nm be, the Pennsylvania Compariy has secured ite own connections with the West,and the Erie man-. Agere have been completely ont-genexaied. It is eamestijr hoped that the Erie Company will be shot ont of the -Fort Wayne line, as itjbas been ont of the Goftimhns, Chicago .M&i IndianaCeatraL" «. - BCOjID PBBttAICI Wo adverted lately to tile,very just remark of a cotemporary that it was noticed by everybody that trade has nothing to do with the improvement of Broad street There is something remarkable about this fact, and it deserves examination. ' In the past ; few years, a large number o f very handsome structures have been com menced, npon Broad street, not one of which has any connection, Aowever remote,with business, of any sort. Churches, halls for exhibitions, such structures as the Masonic Temple, find their natural place ou Broad street; but so far from there eXistfng any dis position to erect new places of business upon it, the tendency is rather to remove those that were placed there nnder circumstances differ, eat from the present When recently,for ex ample, a large warehouse was destroyed by fire, there was no disposition to rebuild it Even retail trade, the only sort that has made any material emigration westward, does not seek Broad street Homer, Colladay & Co., for example, in erecting a store Buch as theirs, would, unquestionably, have placed it on Broad street had-they deemed tha* street most suitable, but they did not In fact, the advance of business westward' is a thing that has been greatly exaggerated. A few very conspicuous retail establishments, whose splendid displays greatly attract the eye and the attention, have found it advisable to move nearer to the residences of their cus tomers, but this in no way shifts the great centres of business. The establishment of a few splendid retail stores at the weßt end of London does not in the least disturb the busi ness centre of that metropolis, which re mains just where it was a half century ago. The growth is always at the outward edge of everything that grows, but growth differs by being more rapid, for London is, at this d ly, growing at a rate to which no American city furnishes a parallel. As then the centre of business remains and will remain where it is, the attempt to tear up such an integral part of it as a Court-house with all the branches of business belonging to the municipality, and transplant them to a neighborhood which has already assumed an utterly different character, is thoroughly un justifiable. Aud after the whole matter has assumed a decided shape with general assent, the recent action of Common Council is dis organizing and factions to the extreme. The annual report of the Executive Coun cil of the Philadelphia Board or Trade alwayß presents many interesting and valuable facts concerning the resources and productions of Pennsylvania. The report for the year 1868, submitted at the annual meeting last even ing, was particularly rich in such facts, and gave a most striking picture of the growing prosperity of the State. From actual returns and careful estimates, the Council estimate the value of the year’s production of three articles alone as follows: Coal, $90,000,000; petroleum, $37,000,000; iron, $68,000,000; snail $195,000,000. There is no State in the Union that derives from its industry, engaged in developing min eral wealth, any thing approaching this enor mous aggregate. The gold produced in all the gold-bearing States and Territories does not come near it, and probably never will. Moreover, the growth of our coal, oil and iron interests is steady and healthful, and as they are even yet in their infancy, there is no possibility of forming an estimate of what they may amount to in ten or twenty years. The petroleum production alone of the State has grown in ten years from nothing to one hundred millions of gallons, its increase in 1868 over 1867 having been between forty and fifty per cent. In this oil businesses it is now carried on, there is none of the feverish spec ulation that prevailed a few years ago. Bat >t proves to be a sound and legitimate bus.- ness, which is very advantageous to the State. 10,01)0 0,000 1,347,031 500,000 $5,003,310 $300,500 The full text of the Emperor’s speech on opening the Chambers gives us a better idea of its eoothißg and optimistic tone than could be derived from the cable synopsis. Napoleon passes in review the seventeen years of his dynasty—a dynasty, as he is always politely reminding the nation, held only on the suf ferance of their suffrages. His plans for the aggrandizement of France are represented as about complete; the edifice is crowned. “The constant object of my (defensive) efforts is at tained,and the military resources of France are henceforward on a level with its distiny with the world.” The most amazing feature of the brilliant picture he draws of the national armament is the guise he gives it of a pacific measure. The apparent sword is in reality an olive branch. “The land and Bea toroes, Btrongly constituted, are on a peace footing.” The public works, which no one is disposed to deny have been ably and imposingly man aged, are still hopefully progressing; they are “convenablement dotes.” The system of vicinal roads is well under way. Education or all classes, though not quite as advanced (in the case of females, for instance,) as seems desirable to us, progresses to the utmost desire of the government and the priesthood. And to finish as gracefully as possible, the finan cial retrenchments that “are to be about to be” undertaken, are promised in the second or third future tense. “Nous pourrons bien tCt, grfice a l’accroissement periodlque des revenue, porter toute notre solllcitude sur la diminution des charges publiques.” The only black spot upon the horizon is found to spread from the excess of indul gence granted’by the Government to the peo ple. It is the amiable trop plein of their liberties. The increased facilities fox starting new journals and the developed rights of popular discussion—“les deux loiß qui avai ent pour but de developper le principe de la fibre discussion,”—have produced, says Na poleon, two opposite effects, which ho points out. The “good effect” (nut very easy to trace to the given source) was that the nation' remained insensible to “excitations." The bad effect, to offset against this virtuous apathy, js the “factions agitation” of a certain $1,080,354 09 THE fiAILY EVBMG BULLETIH—PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1869.

'Eow-'thdbnfy idea adjusta ble to the Emperor’s delineatSon is the idea of democracy: the 1 only passion he can refer to is the passion .for liberty.’. The rapid and sin gularly homogeneous contempt into which the dynasty has latterly fallen is pretended to be regarded as the wilful disrespect of certain bad boys in the Emperor’s patriarehal family. And these “spirits,” whom the dynasty af fects to regard with a.contemptuous and an noying indulgence, afe the great minds of France, men like Laboulaye and Favre, who pending the sway of a parvenu government are biding their time and leavening the itu ture. The ideas and passions which the dy nasty is constantly pretending to believe ex. tinct are the very vitality of a brave nation, as they are of essential humanity itself. Yesterday, in the House of Representatives at Washington, Mr. Orth; of Indiana, offered a resolution providing for the admission of Ban Domingo to the Union ah a Territory of the United States, wheneVer it made applica tion for such admission. Tins would all be very nice and ver jf wise if there was any reason to suppose that the Dominicans de sired Buch magnanimous legislation on our part There have been rumors to the effeot that overtures have been made to Sir, Seward by certain officials on the, island; but we do not believe that any responsible persons have ventured upon such negotiations, or that t, majority of the people of San Domingo de- Bire it. If such had been the case, Mr. Orth certainly would have said so. before .his reso lution was tabled yesterday. Even if Salnave or bis rivals had expressed a wish for annex ation, it would not be very safe to treat with them. The government in that turbulent' land is so liable to violent changes that our friends might be kicked out of office before we bad matters more than half arranged. At. any rate, it is foolish .to make provision lor acceptance of the gift before i' is publicly tendered. It does no especial harm, but it is childish. We might just at well pass resolutions declaring our willing ness to accept the whole West India group, or the whole of South America, or indeed thdVwhole terrestial and aqueous globe, upon the i same conditions—that the inhabitants thereof desired to enlist under the banner of the free. It is rather more in order to -exe cute the title deeds after we get possession of the house. We are glad therefore that Mr. Orth’s resolution was tabled, and wo recom mend that gentleman to abandon his scheme and turn his giant mind once again to the legislation demanded for the territory already in our possession. If we can manage that properly, we shall have quite enough to do for some years to come. Oar success in thi’ direction has not been so flattering of late that we need be anxious to extend our do minion.

Joseph Harrison, Jr.— Sib : In my last communication to you with regard to your six fifty horse power steam boilers, I pro mised to give you 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 feel used from December, 1867, to December, 1868, In order to compare your boilers with the old ones, which we took out in September, 1867. 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 lu a shorter time with the same machinery and apparatuses than with our old steam hollers, in which the pressure at times could not be kept up higher than twenty to thirty pounds. The actual saving in fuel during this .time was one thousand and seventy-one tons of coal. Tours, truly, Gustavos A. J aster, Superintendent.

I put them up myself, and had never seen any thing of the kind until they came here, and with the aid of your draft I had no troublo in erecting them.

WE BATE NO LOISES DVB AND SfPAID. To Our A gents and the Public It Is so well undmstood that the Girard Fire Insurance Company belongs to no combination of underwriters, that a repetition of the fact is hardly necessary. But our experience In some localities, during the year 1868, justi fies us is briefly alluding to the subject. Again, our success seems to demand an explanation. It will be ro membered that in 1867 wedost a smaller percent of our premium than any other company doing a Fire Insurance Business, through accncies, in the United States. This happy result, wp believe, has again been achieved, in our experience, for the year 1869, notwithstanding the multi tude of fires. If so. the statislica of tho worthy Insurance Commis sioners of New York, Massachusetts and Connecticut will doubtless certify, when published. By reference to the report! of the Commissioner, of Massachusetts and Notv York for the year ending December Slat. 1867, it will be found that our losses were twenty-seven per cent and a fraction npon tbo amount of premiums received. In 1863 tboy will not exceed thirty-three per cent This is the test by which the general character of our business sbonld be measured. Compared with the experience of other companies in this country, it either proves that our agents and patrons are honest and fair toward. tho "Giraid Fire Insurance Company," else that wo are re markably fortunate. A million of premiums might have been received in stead of Borne two hundred thousand. But oar profits might have been less, and tho indemnity offered the in cured no better than now. It is the latter we desire to afford onr friends. We are sorry to notice, however, that in some instances "Special Hazards" have boen offered onr agents at less than the "National Board" rates. This i» no favor nor compliment to us, and a poor reward for onr Indepen dence. Neither Is it the kind of patronage we seek. It costs us as much to pay losses as other institutions, and we mußt have fair rates, fair rljks, honest agents and honest insurers. Then our welfare will be Identical. A few agents have been removed and others appointed, but not without a sufficient cause, for we believe that of all things done through the agency of others, the Insurance business of this country should be confided to the mos| honorable, responsible and intelligent men to be found In It, Otherwise the profession of the underwriter will bo Ukelg to suffer. We Invite no conflict with other com panies. We seek no business by unfair or covert means Honest losses will be promptly met as heretofore Agonte should be cautious as to whom, they insure, as meu as go what they Insure, and abide bv our roles, now so well end successfully established.

The Secretary of the Treasury has decided that wheat, the product of the United States, is not liable to duty on accouot of its transportation from -ono United States port to another, through contiguous foreign waters, owing to tbe wreck of tho vessel. A fee of one-balf storage for one month under act thirty-five, revised warehouse regala tione, does not apply where merchandise is with drawn for exportation before putting it la store. Baggage must be duly entered, or at tbe option of the collector, it* may, on declaration, be examined by an inspector instead. If dutiable arti cles are found therein, entry must be made thereof and doty paid. Under the first section of the act of Jnne 27,18G4, all baggage of passengers from contiguous foreign territory is to be in spected by a regular inspector, or other officer of customs, st the first port of ontry at which it shall arrive, and such officer iB empowered to requite the. trank, sack or other envelope containing the baggnge to be opened, or its key delivered to film, and refusal to comply with such requirements forfeits the trank and other envelope and its contents. It is donbtfni whether the concealment of dutiable articles wquld carry with it more than the for feiture,of each articles. By the fourth section of the act of July 18, 18G6, duti able articles concealed in baggage for the purpose of evading the duties are for feited, but not the remaining articles of baggage. If a baggage entry is made, and if upon examina tion dutiable articles are found not included in the entry, nil snch articles arc forfeited, and (the person in whose baggage they arefonnd, is liable to forfeit and pay treble the value of such articles. No aUpwanee'can bo made for leakage, evapora tion or deterioration. &c.. Ac., of goods in bonded warehouse, finch merchandise may remain in the warehonse lf duty is paid thereon, and if ex ported within three years is entitled to a return , of the duty.

There Is no serious drain at present on our market in aoy direction, and what is sent couth is more than off set by receipts from other quarters. As long as tbe sup ply Is so ample there can be no great rise .in the present rates, 'hough tbe speculative cxeltemeot, espeefatly in Hallway stock, which ab.orbs much of the constantly seeming surplus of currency, will have the natural effect of preventing any serious or permanent decline until it subside-.

The decline is attributable to the absence of a necessity for specie shipments for some time to coma. It was also rumored that the Treasury was about to sell coin. Qbe Senate Finance Committee at their session this morning resolved to report a bill prohibiting the Sec retary of the Treasury from making farther secret sales of gold. 4 J be transactions In gold were below the average, bat an the premium steadily declined under a pressure to sell the inference Is reasonable (that moat of the sales wero on speculative account The high price prevailing up to Fri day of last week ba* induced the “shorts’* to take hold of the market, and they hammered it to-day quits success fuily The opening price was 136k', from which it bad falUn to 125 M at four o’clock, with an upward reaction later in the afternoon.

General Grant urged therefore that the amendment, as passed by the Honse should bo passed by the Senate at as early a day as poisible. Boytt and san nouinse. CSpcdUDerpateb tethePhlladelphl* Erealns Bollatin i Washington, Feb. 2.— The Committeejon For eign Relations Intendto call np the subject of the annexation of Hayil and San Domingo again to the attention of the Honse, being satisfied that its importance bar not been folly understood. Gefl. Banks to confident as to the final passage of the resolution. Senator Grimes does not .in tend to call up his bill an the organization of the navy for many days to come. He said this after -noeu that there was bnt little chance of the pass age of the bill, as nearly every Senator was an tagonistic to It. If passed it would save $BOO,OOO a year. . Senator Wilson introduced a bill to-day, which bas Gen. Grant's approval.authorizing the Secre tary of War to consolidate depleted infantry regiments. Mr. Orton, President of the Western Union Telegraph Company, was before the Postal Co mmittee again this morning,making an argument in opposition to the proposed Postal telegraph sys tem. In the Senate to-day the Committee on Foreign Relatione reported a substitute for Mr. Morton’s bill authorizing the landing of a foreign tele graph cable on our shores. It gives this Govern ment the right to prescribe rates, secures pri ority for Its messages, and makes concession ot the right to land cables dependent on the grant ing of reciprocal rights to American companies to land on foreign shores. Nothing of general importance occurred in the Honee during the morning hoar, the time being occupied in passing bills reported from the Com mittee op Invalid Pensions. It is snowing qnlte hard here this afternoon. Vordeth Congress—'TUird Session. Washington, Feb. 2. Senate.— The President presented several peti tions and memorials, which were appropriately referred. Also, a communication from the Secretary of the Interior In regard to an appropriation to carry out treaty stipulations with the Creek and Chickasaw Indians. Mr. JPomeroy presented a petition for women’s suffrage in the District of Colombia and Terri tories. On motion of Mr. Trumbull,. the Committee on the Judiciary was discharged from the farther consideration of the petitions for women’s suffrage. Mr. Sherman, from the Committee on Finance, reported the bill for the relief of the Drew Theo logical Seminary of New Jersey and the Univer sity of Virginia, and asked that they should be indefinitely postponed. Mr. Frelinghuysen moved to lav the report on the Drew Theological Seminary on the table, as he wished at some future day to say something about it Tabled. Mr. Morgan, from the Committee on Com merce, reported a bill for the relief of the owners of the brig Ocean Belle, and moved its Immediate consideration. Ur. Howard desired some explanation of the bill, which was given by Messrs. Morgan and Fessenden. The matter was farther discussed by these Senators and by Mr. Grimes and Mr. Con nest until the expiration of the morning hour, which brought up the unfinished business of yes terday, the Consular and Diplomatic Appropria tion bill. The pending amendment was that of Mr. Patterson (N. EL), to redace the annual pay of judges and arbitrators appointed under the treaty of 1862 with Great Britain, for the sup pression of the slave trade, to 9100 and $5O re spectively. Mr. Morrill (Me.) said the treaty provided for the establishment by each government of three such courts at three distinct points, and of coiirse the courts could not be sustained if the salaries of the judges were to be cut off. Mr. Morton remarked that the obligation un der the treaty was jußt as binding to keep the judges at the two points on the coast of Africa as at New, York, yet he was informed that the judges assigned to those points did not reside there, so that even by paying the salaries the treaty would not be carried oipt. Mr. Morrill (Me.) insisted that the govern ment was bound to make an appropriation to carry out the provisions of the treaty, whether the judges were at their posts or not. Mr.' Patterson (N. H.) said that if he could, he would strike this treaty out of existence, and the object of bis amendment was to nullify it. The judges, if they were at their posts, would have nothing to do, but he happened to know that the Cape Town judge had not been in Africa for a long time, and regarded the coart as entirely unnecessary. [House—continued from Third Edition.. Various other amendments were offered, and then the bill Was ordered to be printed and re committed. Mr. Cook, from the Committee on Roads and Canals, reported a bill to establish a bridge across the East River, between the cities of Brooklyn and New York, in the State of New York, as a postroad. It|directs r that the bridge to be constructed under an’act of the Now York Btate Legislature Shall tie, when completed in accordance with the aforesaid law ot the State of New York, a lawful structure., nnd pnstroad for tbo convenience ot the mails of the United States. , Mr. Cook explained the object of the bill, and stated that thore were only ten or eleven vessels in the entire merchant marine and navy that could not pass under the projected bridge. Mr. Robinson made a statement to the like ef fect, adding that not once in a century would any vessel too high to pass under the bridge have any occasion to pass Falton Ferry, where it Is to be located. ' Mr. Woodward objected to the hill os being an attempt to decide in advance a judicial question. Mr. Kerr explained that the object of the bill was to prevent the parties from being enjoined in the building of the bridge 6n the question of the authority of the State of New York to au thorize the erection of any obstruction over a branch of tidewater. Mr. Woodward said that if he understood the bill, it violated a great sound principle of gov ernment in anticipating a judicial question. Tho question whether the State of Ne w York had a right' to bridge the Eaßt river by ah incorporated company was oke that most come before the Courts for decision. Mr. Eldrldgc asked Mr. Woodward whether there was any suit now pending in the matter. Mr. Woodward—Of course not, because the bridge iB not being built. Mr. Barnes remarked that after the passage of the bill by Congress tho necessary amount of cap ital would be subscribed and the work would bo commerced;' Mr. Cook said there was no judicial question anticipated In tbia bill. ' There was a question whothor the State of New York had power to authorize the construction of a bridgo across tide water, and any one who had a pecuniary inter est opposed to its construction would invoke the aid of the United States courts to oidjp it by in junction.
