With each day that passes the indisposi tion of ft® comniunity to allow the re opcn ingof the question of the site of the public bniWinge becomes more manifest After a., question has been thoroughly talked ever, examined, debated, argued, and finally decided upon, it is felt that it should rest Suppose even that the movement to change the site succeeded so far as to pass both Councils, and receivtTthe Mayor’s signature (Which it will not). Let ns, however, sup poae it Then if this principle, that Common Council is now aeting upon, is to stand, that nolhiog iB finally settled until the work is commenced under actual contracts, we may expect a fresh movement to unsettle the pre viousj decision, and so on backwards and forwards, until the Legislature steps in and tabes the control finally out of the hands of Councils. This vacillating and unsettled policy, de ciding one way to day, and to-morrow re versing that decision, is tbqroughly contrary to the sense and judgment of this community, and is, we know, thoroughly disapproved of try many who formerly advocated Penn Square. Although Common Council may show an increased vote in favor of this latter locality, we say without hesitation that the Penn Square site has lost much of what favor it ever had. It is, moreover, the opinion of some o% the members of the Commission \ (independently of bias as to location), that a \ Commission, constituted for a specific pur \pose, cannot be ÜBed for another purpose; Vhat a Commission appointed to erect build - mgs upon Independence Square, ia not com patent to erect them anywhere else, even if so'dirccted. There is also a feeling that sudden changes v»f polipy, such as that lately witnessed, do not depefid upon changes of judgment based on the merits of the question, which merits are now just what they were in December. This increases the dissatisfaction felt, for wc want no profitable jobs to be made out of the city treasury. Taxes are too high for that, and tax-payers feel jealous of the influences that control expenditures. We want no repe tition of the scenes of I*l.o ihfii, when con tracts were refused to the lowest bidders and arbitrarily banded over to others of less char acter and responsibility than those who were entitled to them. That attempt received a stern rebuke then, and the same parlies who are understood to be now intriguing again after contracts will certainly not receive them. The proceedings at the meeting ot the Commission held yesterday will be salisUc tory to the mind of overy candid man, who is not under the influence of the parties rtfered to. The report of the Committee os Architecture and Plans shows plainly that Independence Square is, in every re-spec, superior to'the lour Penn Squares forme proposed buildings. It is evidently intended by the advocates of the Penn Squares that there shul! be four buildings instead of one; and these would probably resolve themselves into four big political jobs, and cost the city four times ob much as the one building con templated on Independence Square. The tax payers of ’.lie city should protest against this most emphatically. neUBSERS toil JOIIVKINII H Do all readers realize the fact that iii vue month, and that the shortest of the year, An drew Johnson’s term of office will come to an end '! Do they not also thank the eoutri vers-of the calendar that the year l is not a leap year? li it had been, there would have been another day of Johnson in offi:u, and in the language of Tennyson, "Better fifty years ol nothing, than a day of An drew J.” But February with only twenty-eight days will seem loDg to those who are even now counting the very hours of Johnsonism, and watching its “sands of lite” as they slowly bnt surely run out. These watchers by the moribund calculate that at noon to-morrow, there will remain twenty-eight days; equal to sixTinndred and seventy-two hours; and it is to be feared that many persons, in their im patience to mark off these hours and reduce their number, will want to grease the wheels of Time’s car, or to have him put on a little more steam. Bnt while the readers of tbe.Bi'Lumx are generally of the clasß that have no grief at the approaching dissolution of Johnßonism, there are a good maDy people who, without a par ticle of affection for the man Johnson, are wretched atthe approach of his official death, and the installation of General Grant. Among these are all the Southern “Conservatives." including those who held office ia Richmond or served in the rebel armies, between lsti'J and 18G5. Their comfort, sustenance and hope, for the last four years,have been chiefly derived from Audrew JohnßOD, and they look Upon his exit from the political Btage as tha' of their best friend. Next to these in degree of dismay at the approaching absolution, are .the office-holders here, and all over the country, Nurih as well as Bmtii; those especially who, to nee are thlieaa party 3 and went the whole length’ of Johusonism in the “Bread and Batter ’ days of the administrationywhen there was to be a new party, which would swallow up others. These unhappy creatureß find .them selves without a patty jast now; repudiated by Republicans and despised by Democrat?. .They are feeding on the poor remains tol Johnßoniemj but the sustenance it affords is small and feeble. Some of the cleverest of them, who are in the*‘rings” Which are favored by the Executive, the Treasury and the Post office Departments, are feathering their nest 3 finely, and even one month of Johnsonism may make fortunes for many of these. Bat for the vain, the silly and the unprincipled who constitute the great mass of Johnson’s late appointments to office, there is no hope beyond the grave of Johnsonism. As foT the poor creatures pretending to be Republicans, who have degraded themselves tp a depth hitherto unknown by asking,even in these last days of Andrew Johnson, his nominations for office? and then asking a Re publican Senate to confirm them,what can be said of them ? Nothing that might not be fairly said of the lowest of created beings; these, however, having the excuse of being creatures without intelligence whenever they are accused of being offensive to humanity. The disappointed and rejected nominees of the last few months of Johnsonism claim to have some intelligence, but nobody suspects them of having any principle, either moral or political. Tbey are hardly to be included among the mourners at the funeral of John sonism. But they are at least entitled to notice on the occasion, even if there be more of scorn than of pity in the notice. ANOTHER INDIAN TROUBLE. From Siika we have an account of a series of small rows between the United States sol dlers and thh Indians, in which quite a num ber of the latter were killed. Intrinsically this result seems to be unimportant; we can lndians just now rather better than any other portion oi our population. Bat the very serious question is involved, whether this is not to be the first of a succession of collisions which will end in war. The mea ser details received by telegraph from San Francisco, make it apparent that the Sitka Indians entertain bitter feelings of hostility againßt the troops; and it is not at all certain that the soldiers did not behave very cruelly when they fired into a caroe filled with sav .ages and killed seven of them. It is quite impossible to decide upon which of the two rests the responsibility for this unpleasant condition of things, but we incline to believe that to tbe white belongs the larger share oi blame. The RuesiaDS held the village o' Sitka and the whole territory of Alaska for a great many years, and they not only kept peace with the natives, but they made their friendship profitable by Wading with them and buying their furs. As soon as Americans take possession quarrelling be gins. It is the same phenomenon that is ex hibited in west British America and on our own plains. Englishmen made the Indians their allies, and set them to work to help fill the treasuries of the fur companies; we robbed, murdered and cheated oar red men— under authority of the Government—until we were involved in a series of ruinously expen sive wars. It seems that Americans are very quarrelsome and aggravating when they h«VtT to do with inferior races. It is not a credit able fact, Neither is it likely to prove a profitable fact. If the idle folly ot our Sitka soldiers should tDguge tbe Government in a war with the Alaskan Indians, we would find our ventures in that direction very costly. A campaign in that country, with soldiers skir mishing about among icebergs and polar bears,trying to conquer a lot of savage Esqui maux, w ould involve vastly more 'labor and danger, and a greater sacrifice of life,than the conquest would lie worth when accomplished The gunpowder banged off would be worth pretty nexriy as much as the original price ot the purchase. Alaska does not pro mise to be, a very profitable investment at any rate; but if, to make our title good to it, we have to place as much money in the pockets of army contractors as we did in those of tbe lobbyists and journalists who seconded Mr. Seward’s scheme, tbe people oj ouDtiy will not have a very grateful re collection of the enterprise of that statesman. With two Indian wars on our hands at the same time, we may alßo regard tbe payinen of the national debt as a matter to lie referred to future generations. II General 'Davis cannot keep the peace will) these fcjitka Indiana, we hope he will be recalled and his troops with him. It will be better lo let tbe Indians entirely alope, and permit traders, whose pugnahuy is kept quiei by a thirst for lucre,to treat with and manage them. Tbe savages got along comfortably enough until the soldiers went there to keep the peace; as thcße men of war seem to have failed in this respect, a trial of the old plan might be successful. TUF NEW XV A U DEPAUTitIENT BKlliUlltU. The Government of the United States Wants a new building for its War Depart ment, in place of the mean, contracted and shabby structure that had to serve its purpose duriDg the period of a war greater and more terrible than is likely ever to occur again. The necessity for a larger building was de - monstrated in tho time of war, and it is scarcely less evident in this present time of peace. Accordingly, the Secretary of War advertised for plans and designs for such a structure as is needed for his Department, the edifice to be fire proof, and the various designs offered to be submitted to a commis sion appointed by Congress, composed of eminent engineers and generals, including the Secretary of War himself. It appears that about eighty designs were submitted to this Commission, fifty- six of which were from architects of very high repu tation in the United States and Canada. The de sign preferred among all these was that of John CncMr, Esq Aichitcet and Builder, of tnls city, who has received from the Secretary o' War notice that the Commission has awarded to bis plan aDd design (he first premium That an award of this hind, in such an ex tensive competition, should have been made to a Philadelphian, is a matter deserving of the congratulatory notice of his townsmen. Mr. Crump s plan and design, we uaJer- eland, contemplate. bniMing wjbotijrfiro- architecture, with a front of 338: feOt the nuisance may be continued indefinitely. There is no reason in this. Ample not-i :e has been given, to every individual and cor poration doing business on Broad street, of ihe intended removal of the railroad, and those who are incommoded, or pretend to bo incommoded by it, have no one to b! imt but themselves. Wetrnstthat any petitions for an extension of time, that may be presented to Councils, will be entirely disregarded. There can never be a better time for removing the railroad than the coming spring.

There la nothing strange in the fact that a tendency to speculation exists among our business and moseyed men. There is nothing more mercurial than money, and its volatile character seems to be readily transmitted from itself to the ownore. It is as natural for the Item which we call money to bo in motion as It is for the waters of the ocean to roll, or the t de to ebb and flow, and It is about as easy to control the one as the other. K oney, therefore,is almost a synonym of motion, and if this activity is stoppod it coaaos to be raonoy or a standard of value. The great secret of national or indi ridn liuocces is to keep the "circulating medium” al ways moving but in its proper channel. In this re* epect it is Uke the human blood; it in precious, and life itself, as long .as it flows in the veins and arteries, but arrest or change its course, and its value perishes. The na tional channel for gold, greenbacks, or anything estima ted as money is trade, commerce, business. Those are the veins and arteries of the nation,and as long as a good, full stream of this boalthy blood coarsen through this channel there is vigor, health and life in the community. But here comes the application of the simile. Money flows freely,but in wrong channels—in chanuels of spccu* latioD.lndividual and oommercitl extravagance—and the count yis oJ consequence sick and shows symptoms of weakness. It is of great importance that the disease bespotdily attended to, and the only physician is Con* cress, and the medicine—wholesome legislatioa. Money is abundant and riadily obtainable at 6@6 per cent on call loam, and 6@7 per cent on mieoellaueous securities. Prime commercial paper was negotiated on the dreels at 7@ 9 per cent, for first class names. There, was a fair degree of activity at the stock board thii momink, and prices generally ruled steady.

There was a large attendance, those pre sent representing a capital of $‘27,000,000. Tbe meeting was organized by calling Henry K. Edmunds, of Philadelphia, to the ehair. The following Vice-Presidents were chosen : R. C. Sturgis, Boston; J. W. Sinnell, Boston; R.

Cbae. H. BtceJmau, of Philadelphia.was chosen Secretary. The President read the following call, which ex plains the object of the meeting: PmoAiiFi.ruiA, January 11th. 1889. —Otnr Sir-. ‘The Yes.-1 Owners' and Captains' Assoeii lion of tbe States of Pennsylvania, New Jers;y and Delaware " was organized less than ouj rear ago, and baa, In that time, not only met With the anqualtlied approbation of all ve*!e:l owners and captains, but has been very gene rally assisted by shippers and consignees,so tbit it is at present one of the strongest and most influ ential organizations of any kind iu this country. Its obj-ct has been to protect and advance the rights and Interests of all Vessel Owners and Captains, to obtain the passage of Jaws as shall In-beneficial, and the repeal of such as arc de irimental to their interests and rights. Early in the organization of the Association, it adopted a Bill of Lading for itself, the principal i lan of which is as follows: "And 24 hours after the arrival at the above named Port (and notice thereof to the consignee named), there shall be allowed for recciviDij said careo at ihc rate of one day (Bundays exeeptel), for every hundred tons’ thereof; after which, the cargo, consignee, or assignee, shall pay demur rage at the rate of eight cents per ton a day upon the full amouut of cargo, as per this 8,11 of Lading, for each and every day’s detention be vond the days above specified, until the cargo is j olly discharged; which demurrage shall consti tute ft lien upon said cargo ” It has secured to its mombors thousands of dol lais of demurrage, which would have been en tirely lost under the old Bill of Lading, and with out the assistance of this Association. The Asso ■ ialion, also, on the 11th day of May, 18G»,passed a resolution, that ‘From and after the first day of June, A. D. 1.-68. no freight will be carried unless shipped as per Bill of Lading adopted by this Associition. •‘Coal freights from Philadelphia to B >s ioij will not bo carried at a leas rate than $2 50 per ton from the first day of June next to Sep tember.” This was for the purpose of keeping np freights during the summer mouths, and the result wis ail that could have possibly been desired. We bavo also made application to the Congress of the l ulled States, lof the repeal of the Port Warden's and Harbor Master’s fees, with evorv prospect of success. There are at present, nearly nine hun dred mmbors, representing about four millions of dollars, and 70,000 tons, and we feel justified in being prond of the past,and encouraged for the future. A motion.to appoint a committee to prepare resolutions was agreed to. The President appointed the following as the -ommiltee: E. T. Hallowell, Hon. John W. Hall, D. S. Stetson, James Baker, Jos. Van Brunt. The President then made an addresß giving a history of the causes which led to the formatiou of the Vessel Owners’ and Captains’ Associition ot the States ot Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, and of the progress which it had made since its foundation in March last. The Associ ation now numbers 1)00 members, representing a capital of $15,000,000. A list of all the vessels engaged in the masting trade waß presented. The total tmmber is 433, representing a tonnage of 78,533 85-100 tone. Eighty-six of the vessels belong to Philadelphia, registering 16,373 08-100 tens; 318 vessels belong to the Association. They register 68,717 tons. Mr. R. C. Sturgis, of Boston, stated that an association had been formed in that city, and Is meeting with very fair success. Mr. Philip Fitzpatrick, of Philadelphia, ex plained what had been done by the association in this city. The interests of the ship-owners and captains had been materially advanced by the formation of. Ibis society, and no urged the neces sity! of establishing similar societies elsewhere for co-operation ond the general welfare of the ship ping Interests. Capt. R. M. Waterman, of New London, said that a meeting had been held In that city last month.' There was a good representation from the District, ond a general desire waß expressed ,to join this Society. The speaker suggested the ptopricty, of forming o national association,’ with : Its headquarters in Now Yorks' The meeting was still In sosslon when our ro , port closed. ♦ 8:30 O'Olook.'
