a'hsurdities or the ahti-isbe-
PENDKNGE IDOVEHBNT.
Sometimes the strength of a position is
rendered as conspicuous by the weakness of
the arguments urged againßt it, as in any
other way, and this is Strikingly the case with
respect to the selection of Independence
Square as a site for the new buildings. It
would be hard to exceed the absurdities that
have been gravely brought, forward by its
opponents.
At one time it was positively asserted that
any sufficient buildings erected /on Inde
pendence Square would cover its entire sur
face. This result was based upon the
assumption that the building would be one
story high, though even so it was incorrect.
When this misßtatement was so thoroughly
exposed that it must perforce be abandoned,
the nest assertion that was put forth, was
that the new buildings would cover so much
surface that there would be left a slip fourteen
and a half feet wide only between them and
Independence Hall. This was exposed by
showing that the new buildings, as proposed,
and the old Hall, would together cover less
than half .the surface.
The next step was to exhume the project
of the monument to the signers. To which
it was answered, that if no better
place could be fouDd than the open space be
tween the new buildings and the old. But |
aa to tko plobabiUtioo of Uie rcooiißtruotoli
Stateß appropriating money to erect a monu
ment in a loyal city, any one can judge,
nevertheless, if appropriations are made,
therd is the space ready.
But a greater absurdity that any of the fore
going is to be found in an extraordinary and
original plan for Wilding up the block at
Broad and Market streets, conceived by one
of thejpartisanß of Penn Square. It has al
ways been, objected that the division of the
buildings by placing them upon two of the
squares would largely increase the cost. But
the Penn Square people are not content with
this, and now talk of occupying all four.
The following viejws, which we take from the
columns of the only daily paper in this city
which advocates Penn Square, will speak far
themselves:
“The design contemplates ono general Btrnd
ture, occupying on each of the squares sufficient
j ground for the purposes of a postoffice, courts,
zunnicipal buildings, and offices for the various
city trusts—gas, water, fire and police. The
etincture haßfour wluge or supports, one upon
each square. In theso are to be located these
offices, courts, &c., which I have indicated.
“From each of the four buildings rises tho
arches of a central dome, combining them, and
covering Broad and Market streets, botween the
four corners of these squares.
“The streets are lelt dear by the design up to
the distance of thirty leet from the street level-,
there is theD laid under the dome, which arches
at thisheight, the iloor of a great ceatral public
hall, large enough to hold mass meetings; Presi

capitalists build over a depot or skating rink,
but which lor a public purpose will be by many
deemed too expensive tor a city twenty miles

SULDIEP ORPHANS. 1
The BupErinte.ii 0 f Soldiers’ Orphans,
Colonel George ' / McFarland, has just pre
sented his Ann Report to the Legislature.
It is a most p statement of the con
dition of thi t important branch of the opera
tions of ’ stale, amply justifying the
patriotic liberality of the Legislature, in its
proviek m for the care of these “Children of
the C' jmtnonwealth," as well as the wisdom
of G pernor Geary in his selection of agents
for carrying the good work into effeot.
The fiecal year of the Soldiers’
Department ends in June, and the present
Report only gives the statistics of the half,
year ending June 1,1868. At that date there
were 3,430 pupils in the schools, 2,058 males,
and 1,372 females. This is probably the
largest number that will ever be reported, as
the applications are, of course, rapidly
diminishing, while the discharges on age are
rapidly increasing.
The Department is evidently, being man
aged with a rigid but very judicious economy.
The whole cost, per pupil, for education,
maintenance, clothing, freights, and general
expenses, averages but slioB 13 per annum,
a very moderate sum. The Superintendent
has worked hard to reduce every ex
pense in his Department, and, by restricting
new admissions to the lowest possible num
ber, and by the exercise of a vigilant
economy in all the schools, has kept the ex
penditures down to $450,000 for the year.
As the Legislature only appropriated $400,000
last year, the Superintendent asks for a
special appreciation of $50,000 to meet the.
bills pow falling due. This sum'should be
promptly gi anted. .
The estimate for the year ending May .51,
1870, is presented in the Report. It
is based upen 0,400 pupils as the
, number in the schools, which wffl permit
’ tbe’admission of a large proporlij* of the
, most needy applicants, now awaiting the ad
vantages of tnese schools. The estimate
1 reaches $404,700, and there is certainly no
branch of public expenditure is more
?to ibe credit of Penney which pro
i mists greater or m( #SSl!®Pp^ eau ' tB ‘ TtieBe
schools are doing a@S||lw>rk in paying off
i a Email moiety of we owe to the
| brave men who, dying in the cause of their
i country, Have left these orphan boys and
| girls to the proper guardianship of the State.
| But, more than this, they are rapidly training
up a class of men and. women who are to
form a most -important element in the
generation now coming upon the stage
of action. xneße moußauas or Doys,
growing np under s careful disci
pline of mind and body, are acquiring
habits-of educated industry, respect ior law
i and sound moral principles, which are fitting
1 them, in an eminent degree, for positions of
honorable usefulness as good citizens of the
Commonwealth. These girls, too, afe being
educated to take their places in society as
wives and mothers, well taught’in all the
branches of practical housekeeping, .carefully
nurtured with reference to sound- bodily
i health, and sound moral and mental develop
ment. Mrs. Hutter’s admirable report
dwells, with just pride, upon the marked im
provements which her labors have effected
in the Banitary condition and the moral de
portment of the girls, and to that lady’s un
tiring efforts in this direction, the State owes
1 the highest praise.
i The Legislature has always recognizod the
importance of this great Department of the
Slate, and has manifested the liveliest interest
in its well-being. The Annual Report now
presented shows how carefully and with what
gratifying results the public money has been
I expended, and there should be no hesitation
( in making the appropriation asked for, for
jhe ensuing year. No man can estimate the
amount of suffering that is being relieved, the
degree of crime that is being averted, or the
direct benefit that is being conferred upon'the
- State, by the liberal, generous support whioh
is extended to the Soldiers’ Orphans of Penn-
Eylvania.
■ f- <
any serious intention of frying these men or '
not. That thcreliaß beett. a most suspicious
delay in prosecuting them ia obvioua to the
whole community. • .
But if the authorities have forgotten Mc
• Muffin, Whitney, Haggerty & Co. they have
not forgotten the audacious officer who not
only had the temerity to be kicked, knocked
down, beaten and Bhot, but actually to pro
cure the arrest of the whole gang of hiß as
sailants, and their binding oyer to answer for
their offences. Officer Hill has been notified
by Mayor. Fox that hia services are no longer
required on the police force, and he is dis
missed aB a reward for periling his life in the
discharge of his duty. We commend these
examples to the careful consideration of those
amiable and easy-going people who entertain
tbe preposterous notion that Mr, Fox, even
if his intentions are the best in the world,can
resist the mandates of the party whose out
rageous frauds have given him the temporary
power to reward bad men and punish good
men, as he has done in the caßes we have
now cited.
We do not mean to say that all of Mr.
Fox’s removals or appointments have been
bad and wrong. We only desire to .adhere
,to the principle we laid down at the begin
ning of bis administration, and to judge him,
not by his professions,but by his official acts.
The Board of Revision in the matter of
Taxes possesses a power which ought to be
used with great carej and the gentlemen com
posing it are believed to be flully aware of
this, and act accordingly. But one case of
peculiar hardship has been brought to our
notice A gentleman of this city owns.an
unimproved lot which w&s valued in 1867 at
$2,c00. In 1868 the valuation was increased
to $10,400, under the new assessment This
valuation was expected to stand for three
years; but already, in 18G9, without any
notice to the owner and without giving him
an opportunity to protest, the lot is assessed
at $20,000, while the rate of taxation iaraised
from $1 40 to $1 80. The augmented as
sessment seems to have been entirely arbi
trary; arid every property holder may be
jnade to suffer in the same way. In the case
mentioned, with a tax rate increased about
j per cent., the valuation is also doubled in
one year.

THE PARSON’S WEDDING FEE.
Some folks love jokes,
And that ie the kind
Of a pair of folks
Just now in our mind.
A most delightfully happy pair;
She was a blonde, with golden hair,
And whether his hair was black, or red,
Brown, or yellow, enough Is sold
When we stale that, with becoming pride,
lie brought her along, to make her his bride.
They rang the bell of the parson’s door,
And waited for half an hour, or more,
Till the parson came in, and enjoyed the fun
01 making the two folks into one.
And when he’d married them, (don’t you see ?)
They took their leave without paying their fee.
And the parson sadly began to grieve
At the profitless style of their taking leave.
But while he's thinking, solemn as death,
Here runs a boy, all out of breath ;
A boy with a bundle stout and large ;
"Parson,” says he, “that’s yours—no charge ;
That’s the wedding fee from those happy folks;
They’re fond of fun and practical jokes.”
The pastor opens the bUDdleand lo!
An elegant suit, from top to toe 1.
Overcoat, pants, and vest, and all,
From ROOKHILL & WILSON’S GREAT
BROWN HALL.
The most acceptable wedding fee that can bn
given, is A SUIT OF ROCKHILL & WILSON’S
CLOTHES.
The most desirable thing that any gentleman,
married, single, or contemplating matrimony,
can possess, is A SUIT 01 ROCKHILL <t WIL

the balance of the rapidly going winter stock.

The Notification of Beneral Orant.
{Special Dcvpatcb to Uie I'bflida Evening Bulletin.]
Washington, Fib. 13.—Messrs. Morton, Wil
son and Frayn, the committee appointed to
notify General Grant of his election, waited upon
him at his headquarters this morning at hall- pas l
ten. Senator Morton made the formal announce
ment in an appropriate complimentary speech,
alluding to the qualities which had
determined the country in Its choice and the ex
pectations that were on tertalncd of the manner
Inwhieb the trust would be discharged.
General Grant, after replying formally to the
compliments conveyed, and saying he should try
faithfully and honestly to discharge the dalles of
his position, said there was one subject to which
ho desired to allude at this time. He should en
deavor to select for bis assistants in the adminis
tration of the government, capable, honest
and-patriotic men, and Id this he hoped
to have the concurrence of tho Senile; that if
be did not succeed in getting competent men on
the first trial, be should remove them and select
others; that he should have no more hesitancy
In changing bis appointees than those of
his predecessors In olilce.
He had from the first deemed It Improper to
give any Indication who would receive Cabinet
appointment nnlil after he had received official
notice of his own election. He had not yet ad
vised anybody whom he bad selected for these
places. He had not even conversed with sdj of
the persons themselves.
From the various communications ho had re
* ceivcd, end from what ho bad heard, he was con
vlrced that some of the persons he should choose
won Id be opposed by combinations of influential
men In the party which had supported Jhim, not
became they were unfit or per
sonally objectionable, but because these
parties desired the appointment of their
own friends. Ho most mainly be governed by
his own ideas of the fitness of the men for the
work they would have to perform, and
that be had finally concluded not to give any In
dication of hla purposes til! he 6cnt his nomina
tions to the Senate, or It be did give the persons
selected previous notice, it would only be a day
or two before their names were sent In.
At the conclusion of his remarks, Mr. Pruyn,
the Democratic member of the committee stepped
forward, and snid tbat although he and his party
bad opposed tho General's election, he coaid
count open their support in carrying out the
policy bebod just announced.
This sally produced a general burst of laughter
from tbO staff and spectators gathered around;
iB which Gen. G. joined heartily, and the con
gratulatory conversation and hand-shaking then
became general.
Great Storms In California*
San Fbakciscp, Feb. 10.—A. heavy rain storm
for the last two days throughout the Btate caused
railroad and telegraphic communications In all
directions to bo interrupted.
Portions of the San Joso railroad were washed
away, and tho track of the Control Pacific Rail
road was covered with water from tho Sacra
mento river, which overflowed its banks. "The
bridges on tho California Northern road were
swept away by the flood.
There was also a severe 6now storm in tho
mountains, and In places the snow drifted from
twelve to fifteen feet deep. Snow-slides are re
ported along tho Central Pacific Railroad, near
Emigrant Gap and Cisco, destroying a portion
of the snow sheds. Thus far, the trains have
only been detained a few hours.

floted yesterday charoctonrcd the money market to-day.
The improved activity may he attribated'lo a variety of
caurea. I.argo amounfsare being dally converted Into
•Bond*, chiefly through the arency of tho broken, whilst
tho rilmultia given to trade. adda consldorably to tho
call for currency. Our bonds arc edit tho favorite
taveriraeot* In Europe, and tho stoody demand for
the various lseuos whith has contln-ed during thin
week has produced Its effect on prices. Tho cable
yerterday informed us that tho can of 1842 wore held in

though lhe end Is not ret By many of the merchants
this steady demand fm- our gold bearing bonds abroad!*
regarded a. a poeitlvo advantage, which it would bo de
cirons to loereaee rather than dlminisd Wo cannot
aesiutto this species of reasoning. Though we may bo
lulDg foreign capital to increnpe our own wealth*
the acuoal interest will ’hereafter prove au
enormons drain upon our gold resources. Other con
eideration* are equally in tnvorof keeping our bonds at
home ns much aspoalblfl. In case of a foreign war wo
ahould he entirely at tbo mercy of an enemy. Ia this ro
ipcct England would have an immense advantage. Her
national debt Is mainly held at.homo and is verily a.
source of strength to her, whilst ours, being hold abroad. Is
a manifest source of weakness. There is no change In

FROM WASHINGTON
The Notification of General Grant
THE GENEEAL’a SPEECH
fTlie California F'lopd.s
LATER NEWS PROM PANAMA
Washington, Feb. IS.—This morning,- at half
past 10 o'clock. Senator Morton and Representa
tives Prnvn, of New York, and Wilson, of lowa,
made their appearance at the Heodqßarters of the
Army for tho purpose of presenting to General
Grant tbe certificates of his election as President
•of the United States.
The impression that the proceedings would be
altogether private:together with the fact that the
committee arrived a half hour in advance of the
time at which it was understood the ceremony
TvoukHake’ -pl«*.'prevehted -the presence of a
large number of persons who Would otherwise
have been attracted by the interesting proceed
ings.
Gen. Grant was in his office at tbe time of the
anlval of the Committee, busily engaged in the
performance of bis official duties. They were
soon Invited into his presence, and with bnt very
little delay Senator Morton addressed tbe Presi
dent elect, announcing that they were the com
mittee appointed by Congress to present him
with his commission as President of the United
States for four years, commencing on the 4th of
March next, and in a few remarks assured the
General thot his election was extremely gratify
ing to his countrymen, and that the people ielt
assured he would, in exercising the dalles of hU
distinguished office, apply the same energy, In
tegrity and patriotism that hod characterized him
in former spheres of ueclnlness. In concluding
bis remarks be said that he wdnld have the sup
port ot tbe people of the nation, even Including
those who differed politically from him, In ad
ministering tbe affaire of the government.
General Grant, receiving from Senator Morton
the certificates of bis election, announced, amid
intense Interest on the part of the few gentlemen
who were present, and in a firm, audible voice,
substantially.that in accepting the office of Presi
dent of the United States ho ossured them ot his
determination io earry out faithfully the obliga
tions of tbat office, and referred particularly”to
the necessities for an honest and faithful*dis
cbnree of tbe Revenue laws. He would call
around him men who would earnestly carry oat
tho principles of economy, retrenchment and
honesty, which were desired by tbe people of tbe
country. Bbould the officers of the different
hronches of the Government service not satisfy
him in the discharge ot their duties, he would
not hesitate a moment about removing them, and
would do so just as quickly with his own ap
pointments as with those of his predecessor
General Grant stated that he had not announeed
bis Cabinet np to the time of the official declara
tion of the result of the election, but had intended
at that period to make known the names of those
whom be wonld invite to become members. In
tbe interval, however, be had concluded not to
make known tbe names oi tbe gentlemen whose
services he wonld be glad to have in this respect,
even to the gentlemen themselves, until he sent
them into the Senate for confirmation. The
reason for this determination, Gen. Grant said,
was because of tho fact that should he do so a
pressure would immediately commence from va
rious parties to endeavor to Indace him to
change his determination, not so much probably
from the fact that the opposition would be made
from personal motives, but on account of
the interest which gentlemen might have for their
own friends. For these and other reasons he
bad concluded to make no public announcement
of his Cabinet nntil the time mentioned. Gen.
Grant- spoke without any reserve, and with the
greatest Irankneea and courtesy, and his remarks'
were received by his distinguished visitors with
every mark of interest and approbation. '
Afterwards, Mr. PruyD, of the committee, ad
dressed the General very briefly to tho effect tbat
while the party with which he was identified
differed politically from the President elect, he
desired to assorts him that his administration, in
carrying out tbe principles which he had men
tioned, wonld have their hearty support and co
operation.
The speeches were delivered more in a conversa
tional tone than,in a formal, set manner, and tho
occasion was one of quiet though most intense in
terest. The members of the Btaff of General
Grant were present. Abont t wen tv gentlemen
were present altogether, including the Committee
aßd Staff officers.
Tbe Committee, after leaving General Grant’s
headquarters, proceeded to the Capitol and
waited upon Speaker Coltax in hU reception
room.
They presented him with the certificate of his
election as Vice-President, rigned by the Presi
dent of the SeDate, and then severally congratu
lated him, to which friendly expressions he re
sponded: '
.“Gentlemen —Please convey to the two houses
of Congress my acceptance of the office to which
I have been elected by the people of the United
States, and assure them that I shall endeavor to
prove worlhv of this mark of confidence by fidel
ity to my principles and my duty."
The committee then withdrew.

Washington, Feb. 13—The President, to-day,
nominated Lewis Dent, to be Minister to Chili
and John 8. Nagle, to be Secretary of that Le
gation. '
Tbo President, to-day, sent the following Mes
sage to the Senale: ■ ■ .
“ To l/te Senate of the United Slates Tho biU,
er titled ‘Ad Act transferring the duties of the
Trustees of Ibu Colored Schools of Washington
and Georgetown,’ is herewith returned to the
Be-Date, in which bouse it originated, without my
approval. Tho accompanying paper exhibits the
fuct, that the legislation which tho bill proposes,
is contrary to the wishes of the colored
residents of Washington and Georgetown,
and that they prefer that the schools lor their
children should be under the management of
Trustees selected by the Secretary of the Interior,
whofe lerm of office is for four years, rather than
to be subject to the control of bodies whose ten
ure of office depends merely upon political con
siderations, ai d which may he u’nnually affected
by tbe elections which tafie place In the two
cities. The colored people of Washington and
Georgetown are at present not represented by a
perten of their owr/rnce in either of the Boards
of Trustees of Public Schools unpointed by the
municipal authorities. Of the three Trus
tees,however, who, under the act of July Uth.
1662,compose the board of trustees of theschools
lor colored children, two are persons of color.
The resolutions herewith show that
they have performed their trusts in a manner en
tirely satisfactory to the colored people-of the
iwo cities, and no good reason is known to the
Executive why the duties which now devolve
npon them ibould he transferred as proposed m
the bill. With these brief suggestions the bill is
respectfully retnrneH, and the consideration of
Congress is invited: to the accompanying pream
ble and resolutions.
