DfcTTOH'S Worerooroa 14 Cheotnot «fareet_»o2hW_ EVENING BULLETIN, (!': VrUar, February 12, 1860. fashionable uiutrosiv. jf the arrival of the season of Lent shall lead to a diminution of the eating and drink- ing that have been practiced among fashion able people this ■winter, the effect upon health and morality cannot fail to be good. The suppers at Philadelphia balls and parties have become proverbial for their vulgar pyofnseness. There is a superabundance of ikh food, consisting of heavy meats, hot and •old, giune, oysters, terrapins, sweet-breads, aroquettgs, ices, confectionary, fruits, and scores of other things. There is also an unlimited supply of drinks, beginning with bilge bowls of fish-house and other punches, followed by wines of various kinds, hock, sherry, champagne, madeira, &c., and with decanters of whisky and brandy for those who fancy these to be required to “settle" the articles previously swallowed. ;Tho eager and greedy consumption of huge .quantities of these things seems to be the chief object of most of the party-goers of the present day. The fashion may not be con fined to Philadelphia, but it prevails here rioig conspicuously than elsewhere. Indeed Philadelphians visiting other cities are apt to cbmplain of scanty fare at the houses of the wealthy; and cases are reported of Philadel phia ladies declaring themselves nearly “starved to death” at balls given by princes and nobles in some of the European capitals, whife entertainments are given with some oiher intent than cramming people with food and drink. But eatiDg, drinking, dancing (by the very young), displaying fine dresses and costly jewelry, and criticising those of everybody else, are the engrossing occupa tions at Philadelphia parties; the eating and drinking, however, being paramount gueh a thing as conversation, in the old feshioned and beßt sense of the word, is wholly unknown at modern parties. Indeed, when the supper-table, the viands, the wines, the dressing and the “German” are so con spicuous and so commanding, there is no •banco to think of any other topics that might interest an average mature intellect The young men, especially, have, between gormandising and Germanising, drinking and dancing, champagne and small-talk, no op portunity and no temptation for practicing their brains. Besides, long before the morn ing hour when these routs usually termi nate, there is very little energy left, either mental or physical, among men or women. To be driven or to stagger home requires all the power and intelligence that may have survived the hours of darkness. The young people are not to be censured for this. They are not the givers of balls and sappers; they are not the responsible mem - bers of society. They take society and sup pers as they find them, prepared, directed and controlled by the older people who own the honses, give the invitations and prepare the feasts. Their time ot life is a time of pleasure, and they enter upon the enjoyments offered to tbem innocently, secure that there •an be no barm in indulgences that are tole rated, if not always recommended, by their seniors who are the leaders of Eociety. If a rich man spreads a sumptuous midnight ban quet, he cannot exclude his sons from it, any more than be can exclude other youths of their age who are their friends and his guests. If' these young guests engage in foe German with the rich man’s danghters ) after they are gorged with supper and tipsy with champagne, they are still the chosen and invited company of the rich man, and it is his feult if his daughters and those of his friends are handled in the dance by fuddled young gluttons. If the young girls have also become so exhilarated with one or two glasses of champagne, as to overlook the faults of their male companions and to tole rate any little liberties of speeoh or action in the dance, the fault Btill lies with the older parties who are the givers of the feast. The responsibility of any ultimate results of a worse character must rest on the same should ers. The excesses of fashionable society at the present day may be part of a general de moralization 'which prevails ia all countries in those periods when many large' fortunes exist that have been made rapidly, and when ; there is a consequent rivalry in the display of | wealth, and a competition in hospitality. In : Paris there is a monde between the grand monde and the demimonde, where, with out attaining the refined elegance of the one, or sinking to the vices of the other, there is an eager imitation of certain customs of each. Many Americans seem to be copying this Use and vicious model as if it were the best because it is Parisian. They may tire of it al], after a few serious experiences which ! time will surely bring. But would it not be well for a few leading families, who can never be suspected of stinginess, to try and bring on a reform without suffering serious experiences? There is a more real and a more princely hospitality in an honest and hearty welcome to a company of congenial and cultivated people, than there can be in the most extrava gant snpper that even Philadelphia caterers can furnißh. Buch hospitality was known in Philadelphia in the days of the old fhsbloncd Wistar parties among men,and cor xesponding parties, including also women — both attended by the best men and women of the city. Those parlies were instituted to bring about a reaction from a fashion of ex cess and- extravagance similar to that which BOW prevails. The viands and the wines at those entertainments werelimiied. Tne best people came together at each other’s h mses for tbesake of conversation and mutual en joyment. An artist, a statesman of note; a literaryman or woman, was always aw cl- THE' come guest at : these, and. he ot she was entertained with something higher than\?termpihh faiid; ifiah-hense puhebi There was never any disposition; as there is now, to calculate the extent of the host’s hospitality by his out lay in hundreds or thousands of dollars, be cause there was no such wicked and waste ful expenditure on the entertainments of those days. A ball or a supper, or even a dinner party, cannot be given now without its cost being made known in one way or another. The greedy and the vulgar ohfiokle at the folly of the giver of the feast, at whose expense they gorge themselves ; but it makes “the judicious grieve." Thanks to the Chris • tian calendar, there must now be at least a partial temporary suspension of this fashion able gluttony. Cannpt its revival next win ter be prevented by a combination among the sensible leaders of society’ ? END OF THE CONTEST_ IN THE Tintti» Miuimur. The concluding testimony in this case wil* be found in another column, and if any man, not blinded by party prejudice, will read it> he must acknowledge that never was a more unblushing fraud perpetrated than that which, temporarily only, Will deprive Hon. Leonard Myers of his seat in the Forty-first Congress. From time to time, we have chronioled and commented on the evidence, knowing what a deep interest is.felt in the result. One fact stands out in bold relief against Moffat’s case. It lias been proved that in the Sixth and Seventh Divisions of the Seventeenth Ward, one hundred and sixty men voted the Democratic ticket, who were not assessed, and who, neither by their own oathß nor the oaths of a quali fied voter, were required to prove their right, as distinctly pointed out by the law. The absence of the list of taxables from the box of the Sixth Division, and the failure in the Seventh Division to record this proof, corrob. orates the statement of the nine witnesses who testified to the facts, and the chief con spirators, McGucken and Mahoney, on cross examination, admitted them to be true. Why did not Mr. Mofiet attempt to show that these 160 voters, or any of them, lived in those Divisions ? It has been three months since the proof was made, and not a witness has been called to deny it! On this alone the case might be de cided. The discussion, if , confined to this point, need not take an hour. For where there is no contradiction, Mr. Mofiet certainly has no case. Yet added to this, and distinct from the Supreme Courti the Ficken Sugar-House and other frauds shown, over Beventy of the assessed voters In these two divisions were non residents. Several were dead, one was in Scotland, one in Ireland, one in France, one in Cuba and one in prison, knowledge of these facts being brought home to the Democratic In spectors who took their votes. Mr. Mofiet has not attacked the right of fifty Republican voters in all and, with more than half, failed ingloriously. "We congratulate the citizens of the Third District that the right has won the day. TlrfE WOKIUM AND THE BIRDS. There Is but one way of getting rid of the worm nuisance, and that is by introducing birds to destroy them, thus restoring the balance which has been destroyed by the wholesale destruction of the birds. In colon izing birdß for the purpose, it is necessary to select a species that will eat these worms, as many birds will not touch them. The best for our purpose is the English Sparrow. This bird has a natural aptitude for living in towns and exists in great numbers in London, building not only in trees,but under the eaves of houses and in any protected situation. As to this bird supporting our climate, that is a point no longer doubtful, for a suc cessful colony has been established in Union Square, New York. A really effectual effort should be made to colonize them largely here, and it only needs this rapidly to diminish and eventually remove altogether the worm nuis ance. Oar public squares afford excellent places in which to establish them.. Whilst speaking of these squares we can not abstain from calling attention to the ab - surdity of keeping them closed in the winter to save the keepers from a part of the work which they are paid to perform. In the fine weather we had through January, the children might have enjoyed themselves daily in these places. They should be open every day in the year. The public are the best judges as to whether to go in or not. Last year an ordinance to this effect was passed by Coun cils and signed by the Mayor, but just before winter it was quietly repealed. And even when these squares are open, many persons hesitate to pass through them on their way in consequence of the caprieiouß way in which the gates are managed; one never knows if he will not be obliged to retrace his steps by finding the gate at the other end closed. If the-square 3 were the private pro perty of the superintendents, their control of them could not be made more annoying to the public. COCNTIt POOB HOUSES. one of the many unworthy attempts to mislead and inllame the public mind upon the subject of the treatment of the insane, is by the reproduction of a deviee which was thus ably disposed of by a master hand, in the Atlantic Monthly of last August: According to the writer’s account, our own hospitals, especially those of Pennsylvania, are no Use sbuunfully managed; and in proof he quotes fiom two public documents, one, the re port ot what he calls the “Pennsylvania Medical Association,” and Iho other, the "Report of a Bprcl.il Commission Appointed by the Gov ernor.” The passages quoted reveal the most barbarous treatment of the insane, attributed by implication to the hospitals and asylums for the insane. Borne were in cold basement rooms, without fresh air and the means of exercise;males I and females without clothing were found in ad joining rooms; some were iaslcnod by a chain to a staple in the floor; one suld to be deranged was chained to a sixty-pound weight, which ho was obliged to carry abont; and one, over eighty years old,had been chained for twenty years. These passages are so introduced as to give the impression—which, no doubt, the writer deliber ately Intended to give—thertsuch things were wti- neeeed in the incorporated und the State hospi tals lor the insane. Here urc the actual facts, known as well to iho writer ns to anybody else. The State hoapltals being filled to their u inost cnpoeliy, it was thought necessary that more should t c ptovieled; and, to malio the necueslly ! ns ohvlons as possible, the "Medical Soplely of tie Btate of Pennsylvania” appointed a com ' mute e to prepmo u memorial to the Liurislaturo | on Iho sul'jt cl, In which, amoog other things, they exposed the wretched condition of tho in sane in, the poor-houses of the towns and conn- tiff. With the sameqtyecVinL_ylew, the special vommleeioner wob dirscisa toexamine-into toe Condition of the insane lmnatcsof too poor houses'and iallst ! The results of- these" Inquiries were presented to the an, inauco-* inent for eßtablisbine another, hospital, and the Xchislattire toted the necessary, appropriation. Hot one word, be' It observed, is Bald by the writer about jails or poor-honses in connection with these passages. -In view of this attempt to 'cast a lasting reproach upon. honest. men, what credit can bo given to any of his statements, and what tcimsof reprobation-can be ; ,tostrong to bestow upon snch deliberate deception ? The Cuban advices disclose the fact that the revolutionists are gaining ground rapidly, and that beneath their persistent, vigorous blows, the fabric of the Spanish role is fast crumbling to pieces. More than half- the island is already held by the insurgents, and city after city is falling into their, bands as the circle narrows upon the westward end of the island where stands the metropolis, and the Btronghold of Spanish power. We do not anticipate the immediate success of the rebels. Cuba is a rich prize, ahd the Spaniards will make a hard fight before they will relinquish their hold upon it. General Dulce is making heroic exertions to defend his charga Re cruiting is going on briskly, and a force of several thousand soldiers is on its way from Spain to assist in suppressing- the-rebeUion. These will make a sturdy, fight, and postpone the triumph of the patriots; but that the vic tory will come finally, we feel assured. The entire Cuban population is disloyal to Spain, and while those within the rebel lines are as sisting the troops, those within the Spanish domain are creating diversions' by rioting, proclamations and violent demonstrations in favor ol their friendß. They gain inspiration from the facts that they are fighting for liberty, and that they have a Spanish pre - cedent to support them in their position. Knowledge of this, serves, too, to demoralize the Spaniards. General Dulce and his troops represent successful rebels. It is an insur rectionary force trying to suppress an insur rection. The Cubans justly consider that they have the same Divine right of revolution as their masters. If the principle was good for Spain when it desired freedom, it is good for Cuba now that she also aspires to independence. At this distance, as impartial spectators, we can perceive the entire justice of this claim; and we can comprehend, better than Spain, in her blind eagerness to retain the island, that Cnba is inevitably lost to the mother country. The information already re ceived, and through Spanish sources, too, clearly indicates the success of the rebellion. General Prim’s Government made a fatal mistake when it refused to extend to Cuba the benefits which accruedto,thei>eople of Spain from the overthrow of Isabella; it commitß something like a crime in attempt ing to force upon Cnba a rule which derives its very existence from an authority which the Spaniards deny in every case but their own. The disgraceful row which took place in the House of Representatives on Wednesday, was attribntable,more than to anything else, to the very unwise parliamentary rule which forbids an appeal from the decision of the Chair in a joint convention. Mr. Wade’s decision against General Bntler was clearly in accord ance with this law, and thus far he was entirely in the right. General Butler's posi tion is also defensible upon the gronnd that under that ruling the members of the con vention were absolutely helpless, and entirely at the mercy of the presiding officer. If this functionary is above appeal, he can make any rulmg he may see fit, and there will be no remedy. He might even rule out the votes of half the Slates, and the tellers would t>B compelled to obey his orders; while the body eontrolled by him would have no alternative but qniet submission. Certainly the folly and daDger of such a law are sufficiently ap parent to make a change necessary; and after the lesson of Wednesday it is to be hoped that the subject will receive instant attention. But the injustice of the law furnished no excuse for the ungentlemanly conduct of General Butler. Senator Wade was right in not admitting the appeal, and in deciding in accordance with that concurrent resolution b/ which it had been agreed that the vote ot Georgia should be counted if it did not affect the result. It was the duty of General Butler to submit to a system which had received the approbation of his own body, and indeed his personal approval; for he has never proposed to change the parliamentary law, and he voted in favor of the concurrent resolution. At any rate, if he desired to make objection, he m’ght have done 60 without insulting the Smators, the Chairman, and Mr. Colfax, without creating a shameful uproar, and without placing himself before the House In the attitude of a prize-tighter. His conduct, in this respect, deserves severe reprobation, and so far from winning for him the admira tion of the country, it has only excited the disgust of those who are Eorry to perceive a Republican member attempting to provoke repetition of the outlawry which once was the peculiar prerogative or fire-eating South erners. The Constituent Cortes of Bpain, the first representative body elected by the Spanish people under the law of universal suffrage met yesterday and prodeeded to effect organil zatlon. In the opinion of sagacious men it would have been better if this body had been chosen and had met immediately after the. perfect consummation of the rebellion. The procrastination which deferred the election lor four or five months wss the direct cause of the outbreaks which have occurred, and of the division of a united people into bitter partisans. Now that the body is at last in session, it has heavy responsibilities, for upon its action depends the permanent success of the revolution. It will have, among other things, to select an occupant for the throne, for the elections decided that a monarchy stfould There are half a efezendmerent candidates for the honor, and we may expect a lively contest among the advocates of the aspirants. Ferdinand, father of the King of Portugal, and the Duke of Montpensier, are the prominent men, but wo think the chances greatly in favor of the litter. It is again asserted that certain adventurers in Spain are fitting out an expedition: for the purpose of attempting the overthrowr of the Juarez Government in Mexico, and the re-establishment of an empire. Santa Anna it.said to be the prime inover in this under;, t eking, and ; from; Itsi rash and foolish char acter wo are quite ready to believe that he is at the bottom of it After-the terriblo results of Maximilian’s enterprise, it wonld bei sup posed that Europeans would give up forever all idea of conquering MeklcO.' But if any ambitious warriors ipaagine that they can do better tban the Austrian, let them come over and make the attempt. Maximilian was backed by France,' Austria, Belgium and Spain. These Spaniards will operate upon their personal responsibility. If the Mexicans could manage, the first, they will be likely to fake care of the' Ihtter; and that without any assertion on our part of that Monroe Doc trine which frightened " Napoleon off, and which will have greater terrors for the Span ish bandits. ; ' Councils added their • voice', yesterday, to the general reprobation .of the conductor the Legislature, in “selling out” the last streets of Philadelphia ton party of private specula tors, for a railway. The vote in Common Council was nearly unanimous. Possibly Senator Henszey will find a while, that there ia some opposition- in Philadelphia to this sort of legislation,, especially as the Age has ranged itself on tho right Side Of the question.
