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.

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. : /

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

Annexation of San Domingo*
The Washington correspondence of the Now
York Tribune contains this:
M. 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. They gave an in tores t-
JfKfßetch of the' present posture ofaffiire in

M. Argenard has bad several informal inter

Mr. Trumbull had thought that this proposi
tion was dead. The Senate bad always distinctly
declared that the Senators in question should be
paid only from the time their States were declared
entitled to representation in Congress. Besides,
every Senator was obliged to declare npon his
honor how many days he had
been absent from the Senate, in
order that his pay for tbat time
might be deducted, so that these Senators from the

Mr. Butler (Mass.) supported and explained
the hill. He said tbat Admiral Farraguts fleet,
while it did more fighting than any other fleet,
bad cot received nsy prize money, tbe reason
being that Its captures were generally river
steamers that were taken lor the
use of tbe army and were afterwards
sold by the Quartermaster's Department.
These boats could Dot be sent anywhere for prize
ad judication,because they could not goto sea,and
thtre was no way of getting up the river to Cairo,
because the rebels held the river blockaded. This
bill wan for tbo purpose of giving jurisdiction to
the United States' District Courts, the same as if
