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.

HARRISON BOILER.
{From tho Sunday Transcript,Feb. 7J ,
“Ab to whether a Harrison boiler will explode
1b an open qneßUon. Its Inventor Is partic&larty
positive on the subject, while others are equally . '
certain the other way. Now It Is not for ne t©'
Bay that the Harrison boiler will, ond wo cer
tainly shall not aver that It will not, explode. It
may be proper to add that In December last ihcrer.
was an explosion in Drinker’s alley.. How what
was the name ol the exploded bdilef ? Will Mr. "
Harrison please say? Onr columns are Open for; ■
explanations.” .•••;
If the boiler In Drinker’s alley alluded to is die
ono in Mr. Yocum’s foundry,lt Is a Harrison boiler.
In a pamphlet Issued from the Harrison Better, ..
Works tor several years past will be found tne.
following:
Page 21. “Steam-boilers can no mom be made ,
abtolutely tecure against tome kind of explosion or
fracture than guru or ordnance. But they Should ~
be and can be made, so that no serious harm can ;
"arise when they way. To" accomplish ,-■
this most Important end, tho prevailing: system .
has been fonnd, after a century of trial, entirely
at fault, and Improvements must be looked for Is •
its abandonment.”
Axlomß, page 23.—1st. That a sleanpgdnerStor,
! oi whatever form or material, must, asa.parp
i mount condition, be absolutely secorefrom
r destructive expiation, teen when carelessly ttsed.
ltd. That its strength should In no respect be
dependent upon any system of stays or braces,
whereby the inefllFlcncy or rupture of onoofc
these bracts or stays could cause greatly In
creased strain upon the others, thus endangering
the whole structure.
Gtb. That a boiler, whether of large or small
dimensions, should have uniformly such ele- ’’
mecjs-of strength, as would render It always
i capable of safely sustaining many times -greater ,
I pressure than need ever be demanded'of it in
I practice, and that its safety ehonld not ha - lm
paired by corrosion, or tho many other harmful''
influences, which eo soon and so seriously affect
the strength of ordinary boilers. ■

7th. That the parts should be so madoand pot
together, that in case of rupture of any portion of
the boiler, no general break up of tfao.structure
could occur, - the release ol the pressujg by such
rupture merely causing a discharge of the con
ten te, without explosion or aerlona dlatufhatrpe?-..
of any kind.
Page 37 “By what has been adduced It inust '
be seen that the Harrison Boiler la safe from.de-
Btiuotlveexplosion. Ilia not, however, xoaltt
talncd that it cannot, under excessive pressure,
be buret In some of its parts, or that ltmlght not/
under certain circumstances, do injury, conae
tjtient upon a sudden discharge of tfateror atcam...
But it is maintained that under no circumstances
can it *rtnd and scatter large masses of material,.,
liberating at the same time large volumes ef highly*
charged water and steam,* . ‘
"On p?ge 181 of the Journal of the Franklin,
Institute Tor February, 18G7, will be found a re
port of the ‘Committee on Science tho Xrta* e:~ *
of the Franklin institute, giving an aocouStf of •
' certain most severe tests that the Harriebp" Boiler;'
was put to, in the effort to destroy It by ateam
pressure and other means. The attempted de- ■
struction utterly failed. Attention ia called io
*hiß report, as exhibiting some very remarkable
“Whe 4 n it Is considered that eight hundrltldmd. . o
seventy-five pounds per square inch, of steam- ‘
nreEsnre, failed to burst auv of the spheres in one
of tho sections—that undersnch bomb teab«vefy \
joint" becomes a salcty-valvej and when it la ter- ‘ r
tain that, under all circumstances, the general
integrity of the whole atructnre can b© Barely
maintained (a point most positively- Insisted
upon), then bnt slight Injury can arlae> 1$ any

Pp.riiAY, Keb. 12 U69.—There was qnito an actire de
mand for money to-day for the various purposes of bus
iness and epecnlatlon, but the banks were apparently
well (applied with lands and were lending freely at legal
rater.wltb rome exceptions on stl I more favorable terms.
They are taking most oMho prime paper offered by tbeir
cost omen, but'tbote not having credit with the banks are
generally neceesitated to throw tbeir paper on the oat
slde market, where less favorable terms are offered. The
unsatisfactory condition of ailbranchesof trade makes it
-a matter of prudence 'hat alt kinds of secu'ltitu should be
carefully scanned, and moat lenders, in this respect, show
a lasge development of the organ of "catnlon ’*
The prospects of business are brightening and there Is
a growing hope among our, merchants and : businessmen
that as the season advances they will be brighter still end
culminate in a brisk and voluminous spring trade. At
present, tbo chief demand for money is f.om speculative
quartern, stud belpg only moderate, the market continues
easy and the rates favorable. We continue to quote call
loans at 6®6 per cent, on Government bonds, and 6®T
per cent, on miscellaneous securities. Prime mercantile
P» per Is bought up at 7(3* per cent., according to grade.
These rete# were less firm to-day.
The Stock market was dull to-day, without ranch
change in prices. Government and Btat» Loans were not
sold to any extent publicly, but among the broken large
sums changed bands. City Loans sold at 101 for the new,
and 97 far the old issnes; and Lehigh Gold Loans at9OH

Washington, Feb. 12.— At 2 o’clock thews
cession of. Mr. Butler's resolution was renewed
In the House. Mr! Benton, of New Hampshire,
got leave to print bis remarks, and, Mr. Wood
bridge, of Vermont, got unanimous consent to
occupy eight minutes before Mr. Logan com
menced. "
General Logan’s speech .was a vehement pro
test against the casting of any censure,real or Im
plied, on Vlt» President Wade.
The tide of sentiment, since yesterday, has
been setting strongly against Hr. Batler’s reso
lution. i
Butler had already modified his resolutions, but
he now offered to accept a substitute which left
the question of privilege ont altogether, and
simplyprovlded for referring the question of
amending the rales governing the Joint Conven
tion to a committee. “

Mr. Bectpn, having three minutes allowed him,
proceeded to conclude the remarks which he had
commenced at the close ot yesterday's morning
ecEßion In advocacy of the resolntion.
Mr. Woodbridge, having eight minutes allowed
him, argued that in counting the electoral votes
the-Home of Representatives was not a mere
cypher, but had rights to maintain and dnties to
perform.
Mr. Logan said he should not attempt to go
over the questions discussed by the various gentle
men who had preceded him in the debate. He
was in favor of having the rule governing the
counting of the electoral votes made -clear and
distinct, and be was opposed to this adoption of
the resolution, became he held that there was no
intentional violation of the rule on the
part of the presiding officer. He agreed
with Mr. Woodbridge that tne error
committed by 'the- presiding officer
was in receiving-the objection of the gentleman
from Massachusetts in tho first place. He would,
not vote for any resolution that would contain
the slightest reflection on the brave and patriotic
Senator from Ohio, and Jia proposed to
