'TOKSIATIi OGNTKiL rO.niHTfKIi The-Republican State Central Committee •net yesterday at ■Harrisburg, and fixed the 33d of June for the Convention to nominate -candidates for Governor and Supreme Judge. ’This will be rather a disappointment to our Democratic friends, who are extremely •Anxious to have the Republican ticket an >aounced at tho ■ earliest possible day. The 'postponement of the Convention to June will •eßabldCongrecs to complete its work upon "the Constitutional Amendment, thus deter mining whether the important question of "■hiventd suffrage shall or shall not enter into ihe political contest in Pennsylvania. Mean time-there will be, of course, an active can vass among Old friends of the various guber •matorial aspirants, and before June their rela tive strength in the Btate will have been defi nitely determined. ■The Central Committee also took decided - grounds im&vor of the Metropolitan Police ■Sill, bnt the reports do not say which of the, three bills now before the Legislature was recognized as the bill. We cannot too urge upon our friends the most care, inl and broad-minded consideration of this ■ question. ■ Give us a Metropolitan Police, but 'do not give ns any half-and-half measure that'Will be a reform only ia name, while it ‘ retains the essential objections of the present system, THE PI'RMC BDILIUIICt. Select Council, as- we have before aaid, has •-•Always maintained a perfect consistency in ■its attitude on the question of the . Public * Buildings, and yesterday put A- quietus upon ... the extraordinary attempt -'wtiich-'we have lately witnessed to unsettle a ‘decision that bad been deliberately arrived at by both Councils by large majorities and had been ratified by the Mayor. The question waa ably, argued by Mr. Hodgdon and Mr. JHophlns. The remarks of the former gentle man were so well-conceived and so much to the purpose that we quote them briefly here. ■Mr. : Hodgdon, after referring to the mia • statements as to insufficient size, said: One other erroneous assertion. that the centre o! population should determine the location, is equally futile. No sensible man would put forth such an nrenment. It is related in every com mercial city In Europo and this country. It la well known that the centre of business has always univmally been adopted as giving to all classes of the ton niunlly greater facilities for tbu trans action of buriness. Concentration is a! ways de sirable, by not hating great distances to travel, taking the time that should be devoted to busi ness. 'The question then arises, where is the centre of tdoainett-? 1 reply, where yonr Custom House, Tost Office, the new Appraisers’ Building, Coru Exchange, banking institutions, insurance eom punits, snvlnes fund institutions, importers ot foreign merchandise, domestic ditto, wholesile .groceries, sugar it linerits, agents ol vurions mtn ufaclnring companies of our city, the virions buildings of our radioed and canal comp tnics, ia .fact, everything,connected witn the commercial rxcd manufacturing iittrests of onr city. And just here It may be asserted, ail the various le -tei-csis alluded to, aa now locat'd, will ■remain so as long as the Delaware rivenflowe along the eastern front of the city, aidwill ntvir be removed unless, indeed, you •cam cause the river Delaware toliow in th-i neigh liosbnod of Broad and Market streets. We hear a great deal ahoat the extension cf the city west ward, but not a wcid about its extension north wrest, north and northeast, and all those portions •of- onreity arc connected .with passenger rail ways, all of them making a circuit in the imme diate neigbborhoodof Independence Square; and li.cosls no moie to hide in the cars to reach Inde pendence.Squure than to Penn Suoare, although, as tome ol the north and south 'roads do not «lve exchange tickets, It costs double tare to rtr.eh Penn Sqnare. These are the factß and arguments why I deprecate the change ftSimade by the oiciuaiiee of Common Council, aod.now under ooiieicl-'-i-.tion by the members of Select Council. Ido hope and trust if Common Council cliooves to turn a summeriit.u!i aud so summarily change front, that members, of tho 60- Itet Connell will not ,stultify Uu-c selves, but preXJO Jo onr ft-llow-citixaas that there is t-Übilitv in onr Ugislntiou; that we practice no vacillating policy; aro tot to be influenced by personal in terests nor controlled by jobbers, but that we will parfonn our doty and always endeavor to legislate!or thoibtst interonts of our fellow-ulii 2tna. wllbout fear, favor, or reward; and there fore i bqpv, sir, the ordinance bow under con sideration will be indefinitely postponed. ThisatgumcnUs well peu We regret to see that Mr. .Barlow, who, in December. took a -different view, stated that the Com mission 'ihad reported that Independence Square was not large enough, " when the fact ia, the committee reported exactly the re verse, that the Bqusce was abundantly la-gc. After giving every Department all that it asked for on the most liberal estimate -of *t'« needs, (-and no Department would he likely to ask for -rinsnfficleot spa-re,) it was found that the plan proposed allowed one third more than this. &n absurd .statement has been published that the proposed plan would leave but a •Hip of ground Hj feet wide. It must be a bad ease indeed that needs such distortion. The troth is that the new buildings and those of the old which it -is proposed to let •ftmd, will leavdmoiie than half the eisrfaoe oil the square free.' Evcd, however, if this were otherwise, tud the Square was smaller than it is, it is tho .right place for the buildings. Fortunately, it-, possesses 4ho requisites of both size and position. It isjdffficult &o til, out, as yet, the precise animus of this movement in Councils to defeat the popular will. L- he all such move ments, It iB probaWy composed of mixed elements. Pilvate interests have uudjubt edJy been brought to hear up in this questi > D to some cases, while, in oJbers, % p ar i 0 | thl ’ elubboria opposition comes from g fi xed obstinacy, and, in Mill others, from at, i Di bility to comprehend Ibc question in its proper .relations.— ; The record pf this whofa proceeding must be kept accurately before tbe people. Coun cils, having ordered the erection of Uie Public Buildings mV Independence Bquare, a Com missies was immediately organized, which was well' selected, aad to work under the hearty approval of the people, as expressed in private and through the press generally. Thereupon an opposition was started, which first manifested itself in the Commission itself, on the part of one of the ix cfficto members, and was then de veloped in Common Council, where, by some unesplaintd influence, a majority was ob tained to remove the site to Penn Square. This action aroused a universal indignation, and a universal curiosity as to the causes which hod* produced this sudden change. The people, however, looked confidently to Select Connell to counteract this retrograde movement, and they have not been disap pointed. That body yesterday refused, by a very decided vote, to lend itself to this un popular act of Common Council, and so the subject is Indefinitely postponed. The debate, yesterday, brought out the whole weakness of the dPenn Square argu ment, and added new strength to that in favor of Independence Square, and we sincerely trust that the opposition, which certainly as sumed a very factious attitude yesterday, will uow be abandoned, and that the Commission will be allowed to go forward in good faith, and with the hearty support of the municipal authorities. Mr. Siokley’s threat of continu ing the agitation and refusing to confirm any contract except for buildings on Penn Square was probable made in, the heat of a rather excited conversation, and is too inconsistent with all ideas of official dignity or propriety to be attributed seriously to the President of Select ConnciL It was not uttered, as stated in the Ledger, as a part of the regular de bate, but rather as a colloquial reply to some remaiks from Mr. Fox. We have heard Bimilar threats made in private, by other membersof Councils who have been working hard to defeat the erection of the Public Buildings;but as no gentleman would jeopard bis standing before the people by the open avowal of any such factious ideas as these, they should not be allowed undue weight when expressed in the heat of conversational discussion. There are several points in the arguments of the Penn Bquuritcs which are too absurd to be permitted to pass unnoticed, but we muet defer reference to them to another oc casion. PAIEM OFFICE kWINOI.ES. The old English laws made a distinction between petit larceny and grand larceny, which prevails still, in modified forms, in all countries deriving their laws and customs trom England. It is under the head of petit larceny that the swindling must be classed which is reported by a Congressional Com mittee to be practiced in the Department of the Interior, in its purchases of stationery. To be sure, the Government is swindled an - nually out of many thousands of dollars, by the patent methods of the Patent Office. Bui other swindles that go on just as openly are counted by millions, and these are entitled to the courtesy of being called cases of grand larceny. The report on the frauds in the sta tionery contracts, and the proceedings there upon in Congress, were published ia this paper yesterday afternoon. After all, the swindles reported are so small by comparison with many others, that they seem almost too contemptible to be made the subjects of Con gressionalaction. But it is -well to make a beginning of the Bmall swindles, and the House Committee's report on the frauds in tho Interior Depart ment deserves attention and respectful con sideration, because' it seemß to be the first -critical and candid exposure of a very vile and criminal practice, which seems to have been growing up for years, under successive heads ot the Patent Office,each one adopting the bad habits of his predecessor and improving upon them, claiming still to have had precedent and example to justify his own espeelal swindles. In the course of ten years the ag gregate of these swindles rnußt have reached a good many hundred thousand dollars, and thuugh this may.oe a small sum for a nation that can luxuriate iu a debt of twenty-five hundred millions, it becomes important when it iG‘considered as a specimen among many others, some of them probably ten or a hun dred limes larger. It may serve as a lesßon for the big swindlers, the perpetrators of the ■ grand larcenies constantly committed by the variotiß “riDgs” upon the property of the American people. The committee that has reported upon the Patent Office swindles has dono part oi its duty very well. It has exposed the system of the swindles, and el has reported a resolu tion against payiog certain prices to certain contractors. But the most important duty of the committee baa been neglected. It ad vises no measures tor the trial and punish ment of the thieving public functionaries who have been allowing these swindles, and who have probably been participators in the profits as well as in the crimes of the con tractors. Let Congress insist on punishing such officers, and perhaps a way may be opened for reaching and punishing those .who engage in or tolerate the gr&ad larcenies that are daily going un at Washington. HIK lillllU UINIHII.T ClONl'fSiir£o As this case nears its close the Democrats ore struggling hard to avoid the judgmont of the public. Mr. Moflet’a .grand co»j/> it Hat hac been reserved till now. He called three wit nesses to show that the Republicans drove oat the election officers in the tenth division ol the Nineteenth Ward. This week,Mr.Long streth, the counsel lor the contestant, called several witnesses, who completely disproved the whole story ou which the Democracy was building. Mr. Addis, the Republican judge, was the duly elected officer whom the law designated as the proper person to serve, and the police were only called In to remove a man who claimed to act as an officer con trary to law. The election was conducted fairly, and not a voter was kept from the polls. This explodes the last hope of Mr. M< Set's friends. Each day Mr. Myers la adding to the proof of the fjrosa frauds com milled against him, and no donbt remaius that he is endJtd to hie seat. TODAY, -r I'ASIIiHS ANU FUt ItICIIS. - : A great deal nf ulhmor has been expanded Upon the appointment of twenty-seven ad ditional bands hi the pasting and folding de partment of the Legislature, Very much of this ejatnor is entirely ml»direeted,a9 any one vi ill see who will take lie trouble to give his personal attention to the amount of work re . qtiirtd to be done,and to thefictthaU<wm<,y iivo mails are made up daily at ilarriaburg, and that the documents must be handled and mailed in time for each of these. After a careful inspection of the subject, with the bent lit of the 1 horougbly reliable testimony of General Btiliidgc, we ' are convinced that the remedy for the evil com plained of ließ, if anywhere, not in a reduction of the force, but in a reduction of the amount of documents. If the constitu ents of the Legislature would agree to get along with a smaller, quantity of Legislative literature, it would require leas money to print, and fewer hands to distribute it Bat with the present work to be done, we doubt if there iB any unnecessary force employed. The Pittsburgh ■Commercial makes a capital suggestion on this point It proposes that this work shall be done by the boys from the soldiers’ orphan schools. This plan is perfectly feasible mid would save the whole expense. A detail of boys of fifteen years of age, of any number , required, could be made by Colonel McFarland, to serve for one month, and to be relieved by a second and third detail. There boys are well disciplined, and would do the work well The temporary detach ment from their regular studies would be of no serious consequence, and they would be paying back to the State the whole amuun or the interest on the annual appropriation now made for the support of the schools. The boys would be under ; the immediate supervision of tho Superintendent of Soldiers* Orphan Schools, whose headquarters are at the Capitol, and we have no doubt that the plan would work well, and be a, great saving to the State. The Press, this morning, says that “no one will deny that the boys cannot do the work.” We do deny this, as the work is light, and the boys are a sturdy, healthy set of jonng fellows. There would bo no diffl culty on this score, and we are surprised that our neighbor should suppose that ah Amen can boy of fifteen cannot fold, and paste a newspaper. It is a good thing for the honest people of New Yoik city, that amid all the corruption, rascality and imbecility of a Democratic government, they have one jndge of a crimi nal court who is not afraid to do his duty. For years past, crime has increased with frightful rapidity in that city, simply because the worst outlaws were either the political friends of the law officers, or could bring suf ficient pressure to bear upon them in other ways, to effect release or procure merely nominal punishment This reign of the scoundrels reached its climax when Mr. liogers was savagely murdered,in broad day light, upon his own pavement People took alarm, and the press raised a hne and cry, so that vigilance committees wero talked of, and men began to consider seriously whether the law of self-preservation did hot demand violation of farcical legal forms. Bat Judge Hachett has found a readier and more effec tual solution of the problem. He has under taken to prove that New York law has ter rors sufficiently great to compel respect fur it. Yesterday he sent one gentle bur glar to prison for forty years; two others were sentenced to twenty years each; while lesser scoundrels were awarded penalties equally revere in propor tion to their offences. One of the felons was so amazed at this unexpected result that he fainted. This is belter than Vigilance Com mittees. Beverity will not entirely prevent crime, but it will check it. If men kaow that Jndge Hackett will-lock them np for life, if they come into his court, they will be more careful to keep out of his honor’s way. Knowledge of the absolute certainty of pua iebment will be apt to induce sober eicond thought in the mind of the felon who contem - plates crime. The only danger now Is that Governor Hoffman, elected by fraud and by the votes of the dafigerous classes, will be true to his party theories, and pardon the victims of outraged law. But if the executive does not abuse the pardoning power most shamefully, Judge Hackett can continue his good work wiih the certain knowledge that he is con ferring an inestimable benefit upon his fellow men. If there is any gratitude in New York he w ill be entitled to warm praise as a very bold «nd very efficient reformer. Hcverdy Johnson's toadyism to the Eng lish people that set themselves to work to bamboozle him was enough to create a pre judice in the mindaof candid and high-spirited Americans, against any treaty he sought to negotiate oh the subject of the Alabama claims. A careful and deliberate examina tion of this treaty has proved that any such prejudice would have a good foundation. Bit there is a very strong prospect that the Senate will reject the treaty for much better reasons than mere prejudice. The Jobnson-Clarendon treaty, while apparently vory fair on Its face, may be construed in such a way as to amount ( o a virtual abandonment not only of all claims for the Alabama’s depredations, but of Ihe very principle on which those claims were made. It has been very cleverly devised eo as to outwit lteverdy Johnson; but it is a treaty not fit to' be confirmed, and we rej nee at the prospect of its prompt rejection by the Senate. General Grant will send another Minister to England, who will not let himself be carried all over the Kingdom to be plied with roast beef and champagne, and to make twaddling speeches totally misrepresenting tbe feelings of Americans towards English men. He will be instructed to insist on the fair settlement of the chime of Americans against England, and to devote himself exclu sively to that business. Then a treaty may bo expected that can bo ratified by the Senate. For seventeen yearatbcEvKNrs-o Bciu.ietin has been steadily engaged in educating our people up to tbe idea of a Paid Fire Depart ment, and, at last, there seems to be a practi cal approach to this great reform. Councils yesterday appointed a Joint Special Commit tee t® tulso Ihe subject into consideration,and we trust that its labors will be wisely directed end ’ radically eusciKsfal In bringing about this Important measure. It will require goijd judgment and strong nerve to aooompliah tbe ceslrvd end, but the great popular will fa ufa doubtcdly on the side of the reform, and Councils will be heartily sustained in giving us a Paid Fire Department. : / (JI.OrHINQ «aT CLOSING .OUT WINTER STOCK.

In my kst communication to yon with regard to your six fifty horse power steam boilers,! pro mised to give yon at a future time the exact amount of earing in fuel 1 am pleased to be able to do so now, as I kept a very dose and accnrate account of the foel 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, aud we were therefore enabled to do moro work in a shorter time with the same machinery and apparatuses than with our old steam boilers, in which tho 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 sevonfy-one tons of coal Yours, truly, Kktstonk Zinc Works, Birmingham, Hun tingdon couDty, Pa., January 25th, 1863.

Louis Paul Angcnard, a resident of St. Do tnlDgo City, arrived here two week* slnoo and waited Irpbn‘Mr.- Seward, presenting his creden tials from President Baez, or the Republic of San Domingo, according him plenary power, so Ur as he and the, Cabinet could >lo so, to treat for the annexation of that Republic to the United States. The conditions of the nroposed an* nexalion sire the payment on our part of the indebtedness of that Republic, amounting to several'millions, with full recognition of its territory and people ue an integral part of our own, and the establishment of a territorial gov* eminent therein. Thu ultimate hope la that this Territory would become a Slate of the Union. President Baez’s Envoy claims for the Domini can administration that the proposition is simple and frank, and made in the interests of his owa people,the major portion of whom desire nothing so much ; ae good order and peace, whlic re turning an immense equivalent to the United States. , The population of the Republic is less than 200.000, while tho territory is throe-fifths as luTgeaslre'and, and could support 10.000,000. Their prosperity has declined greatly under the depression and'dlsordcr produced by the Spanish occupation and mofo recent petty revolutionary attempts. Mr. Seward received M. Angcnard cordially, entering at once into his plans. The Protectorate of Gen. Banks and tho annexation eßolntlqne of Judge Orth were supposed to have been put forth to fee) public sentiment. The C’ommlltee on’ .Foreign Affairs met this morning informally; end listened to statements from Mr, Angcnard ana Mr. Schumacher, of Baltimore, who acts as interpreter.
