• WASHINGTON’S BIRTHS DAY.
Ab this nation approaches its hundredth
birthday, the events relating to its infancy
and to the men who were active in securing
its independence become more and more in
teresting. The present condition of the lie
public, the struggles and trials it has gone
through, and its enormous and rapid growth,
are to be looked upon as the development of
the work begun a century ago, when the
people of the British American Colonies were
engaged in effecting a separation from the
mother country. For, though the Declara
tion of Independence fixed a date that is ra
cognized as our national birth-day,there was a
virtual separation from England several years
before.
The hundred and thirty-seventh anniver
sary of George Washington’s birth-day wil
arrive on Monday next, and while there
will be no general or noißy celebration of the
event, the day will call up many thoughts
and reflections in every patriotic heart. The
part he acted in our history, colonial as well
as Independent, deserves to be studied, ahd it
may be studied with profit,if we try to iucul=
cate the habits and ideas of Washington
among the whole community, but especially
among the public men of the period. The
Presidential chair, which he honored and
consecrated, has been, unhappily, degraded
and desecrated lately, and this has been a
source of sorrow and shame to the people o f
the country. But, this year, in considering
the Presidency, in connection with Wash
ington, we have the comfortable reflection
that in ten days from his birth-day a new
President will be placed in office. Like W ash
mgton, Grant was the chief military actor in
a gigantic struggle from which the nation
emerged victorious, and it was in recognition
of their services that each was chosen for the
Presidency. The people have perfect confi
dence in Grant, aa they had in Washington,
and they look with joy and pride upon the
' prospect that the present discreditable occu
pant of the executive chair is so soon to be
superseded by one who has done so much t->
secure the love, respect and gratitude of the
country. On Monday next, when reflecting
on the character and career or Washington,
the patriotic American will inevitably in
dulge in the aspiration that Grant’s character
and career, in their further development, may
Justify the parallel that has so often been
drawn between them.
A BC&LV UILX,.
The last scheme that has been developed for
extracting money from the fond,confiding peo
ple of Philadelphia,is one introduced at Har
risburg by the hero of the Twelfth and Six
teenth Streets swindle,Senator Henßzey. That
gentleman is certainly very unfortunate in his
fUbut as a politician and legislator, and ia
managing to connect his name with a style
of legislation that ia not recognized by the
Bepublican party as of the highest and most
reputable Order. Mr. Henszey seems deter
mined to make hiß career “short, sharp and
decisive;” for the operations with which he
has chosen to connect himself at Harrisburg,
contrary to the advice and hopes of his best
friends, make it very certain that his first
term at Harrisburg will be his last.
The last bill of Senator Henszey’s,—for he
has fathered it, whether he had anything to
do with originating it or not,— proposes to lay
Philadelphia under a heavy tax, under the
guise of a “Commercial Weighing Com
pany." Thiß bill provides that Philadelphia
shall be handed over to the tender mercies of
a private corporation which shall have power,
“without consent of City Councils,” —that is
the favorite form of legislation now-a-days,—
to erect aud use public scaleß “upon or in
any street'' in the city. Upon these scales,
planted, at the option of Mr. Henszey’s “con
stituents,” all over the city, every ton of coal,
solder delivered from any coal yard, depot,
railroad siding, .wharf cr landing,” is to be
Weighed. Ten cents j>er ton is the modest
commission to bo paid for this service, and
from three to five’ dollars per ton la the
penalty for disobedience to this shameless
im.
It Ifl easy enough to see what the operation
of such a law would be. Coal frtq'ruully
passes through three or four hands before i
yeacbep the coatmmer; and the poorer the
irili DAILY By e:
buyer the more frequently would this rrierci
less tax have been placed Upon Mb ton of
coal The direct commission and ther largely
increased coat of hauling to : and from the
ecaleß would bo an enormous, tax upon this
branch of Pennsylvania’s industries. 'Pda
corporation would stand like a veritable high
way robber; on every thoroughfare, taking
its enforced toll on every cart-load of coal,
and on every ton of other merchandize that
passes through our streets; for this proposed
corporation 1b far too sharp to confine itself
to weighing ceal; it grasps at “all othor mer
chandize” beside.
But We have no patience to argue against
such a bill as this. It iB marvellous that a
man could be found on the floor of the Sen
ate reckless enough of public opinion to
present it. It is a deliberate attempt to rob
the whole community, and there is not a
household in Philadelphia into whose pocket
this corporation does not thrust its greedy
fingers. We are not at liberty, after what
has already been done at Harrisburg, to say
that the legislature will not pass such a bill;
but we are very sure that Governor Geary
will never sign it. And we are equally sure
that against such such a bill, even if passed
over the Governor’s veto, there would be suoh
a storm of just indignation raised among the
masses whom it proposes to rob, as would
make it very difficult for this precious “Com
mercial Weighing Company” to find a street
in Philadelphia where its scales would be
permitted to stand over night
OCR WESTERS CONNECTIONS. .
Pennsylvania, in all her commercial, in
dustrial, agricultural and social interests, owes
more than can be estimated in dollars and
cents to that great system of railroads which
has been developed in the hands of the Penn
sylvania Central Railroad Company, and
which has not only covered our own State
with a net-work of roads which has opened
every section to the easy access of trade, bat
has kept us in close connection with the
great industrial and commercial interests of
the far and fast growing West,
The throb of energy which pulsates through
the main artery of our own State is distinctly
felt all along the chain of connecting roads,
until it beats against the extreme terminus ol
the Eastern Division of the Union Pacific
road, in Western Kansas, and the benefits of
the trade of thiß long line of communication
inure directly to Pennsylvania through the
medium of the Pennsylvania Central.
But this line of Western connections is by
by no means the ultimatum of Pennsylva
nia’s business interests with the far West
While the Eastern Division Pacific Road
seems, at first sight, to be the one outlet for
our trade in that direction, it has come to be
well understood by Pennsylvania capitalists
and business men that the Central Pennsyl
vania Road is to have another most impor-
tant and equally direct outlet westward and
northwestward via Denver and Cheyenne,
there striking the Union Pacidc
Railroad, and taking for ns our share of the
trade of Idaho, Montana, Oregon and the
adjacent territories. It is undoubtedly this
fact that has attracted so much ot the atten
tion of our substantial men to the Omaha
route. They have Been that while Pennsyl
vania takes her share in the future rich agri
cultural resources of Kansas and that region
westward, she has also the opportunity to
extend her trade over another and equally
valuable tract of territory.
Accordingly, Philadelphia has lent a
powerful aid to the construction of both of
the Pacific roads, and while the Kansas route
has deservedly had the hearty support of
our capitalists, the Nebraska or Omaha route
has been indebted to Philadelphia for an
amount of encouragement without which it
may reasonably be doubted whother that
road would have been built, ior years to
come. Next to New York, Philadelphia has
furnished the largest amount of capital which
has been invested m the Union Pacific Bonds,
and far more than anything that New York
has ever done has been done here to give
this jiigatUic enterprise its proper status
betore the people as a great national work.
It is with just pride that we refer
lo the prominent position which Phil
adelphia has taken in the task
ol carrying forward our great railroad con
Dections with the Pacific coast and the inter
mediate expanse of territory, now so rapidly
filling up with a population which is, in the
coming generations, to control the destinies
of the world. It is a sure sign that Philadel
phia is shaking off her old habitß of domestic
quietness and old-time conservatism, when
we see her putting forth such far-reaching
energies and displaying such a spirit of broad
nationalism as are exhibited in the support
she is extending to the great Pacific Railroad
enterprises.
A very pleasant incident which occurred in
Washington, this week, seems to have escaped
the notice of the correspondents. Mr. James
E. Murdoch gave one of his popular enter
tainments of declamation at Metzerott Hall, on
last Monday evening, at which Mr. and Mrs.
Schuyler Colfax were present. Just before
the entertainment commenced, Mr. Colfax
left his seat, and meeting Mr. Murdoch in the
ante-room, accompanied him upon the stage,
where he presented him to the audience in a
brief speech which was marked by all the
felicity of expression so characteristic
of our new Vice-President.. This
graceful and unexpected compliment to
the distinguished elooutionist was re
ceived by the crowded house with a storm
of hearty applause. But this was Hot the
oDly incident of the evening. Mr. Murdoch
recited Read’s famouß poem, “Sheridan’s
Ride,” and prefaced it with the remark that
he had specially desired to give this poem
as the author had written it, because he per
ceived that in one of the popular school
books recently introduced, the text had been
tampered with, and, where Mr. Read wrote
the true word “traitors,” the word “ioemen”
had been interpolated, he wished to stand
by the truth as Buchanan Read had written
it. A witncßSof the scene which followed
this patriotic outburst says that the
audience, which consisted largely ot
officers and soldiers, broke out with such
a demonstration of enthusiastic approbation
of the sentiment as has rarely been exhibited
by any assemblage in Washington. Mr.
Murdoch bird touched a chord which still
vibrates quickly in every true patriotic heart,
.1 -4.fi ; ..f

and' the response waß full, genuine arid not
to be mistaken. The incident suggests a good
lesson to thosowho are sofondof preaching
the milk-and-water doctrine, that the re
bellion and its issues ought to bo obliterated
from the minds arid hearts 'of the people.

THE H ARRIBON BOILER WORKS
Cray's Perry Bond, near D« B. Arsenal.
Philadelvhia, February 12th, 1869.
Joseph Harrison, Esg., Philadelphia— Dear
Bik : The Harrison BoUere of 300 horse power,
erdtred in December, 1866, for the Plymouth
(Maes.) Cordage Company, have given excellent
results. When doing ibe same work as the com
pare 's old boUers (which are of the fire-box fine
variety, of the best construction and In firs tr el use
order), a saving of about 20 per cent in fnel has
been effected.
The new boilers were erected to supply steam
for a Condensing Beam Engine of 500 P., and no
difficulty Is experienced in obtaining an ample
quantity ; in fact, a surplus of steam for oil re
quiiements. I would, however, argue in this
connection the advantage of having an exeess of
boiler power, on the gronnd of the greatly di
minished consumption of fuel which is snro to
follow, for instance: two 60 P. Harrison Boiler®
furnished an abundance of steam for the engine
übeve referred to, where developing abont on
175 P.; two additional 50 P. boilers
were attached (making four in all), and tha de
crease in the consumption of coal was fully one-
seventh.
In conclusion, it gives me pleasure to state that
I regard the Harrison Boiler with the highest
favor as a safe, reliable and economical steam
generator, ond believe, with proper management,
its durability and freedom from repairs will
prove additional recommendations for it.
Yours, respectfully,
E. D. LEAVITT, Jb.,

bUlintroduced by you as a supplement to the
general railroad law of 1849, Is so framed as to
meet the wishes and alms of the gamblers of
Wall street to vote bought proxies. From your
conversation with me on tbe subject, I inferred
that yon were opposed to all snch schemes and
devices; and, therefore am led to believe that you
have not fully considered the phraseology. I
should bo glad to have some indication what you
wish to accomplish by tbe bUL
Yours truly, ete.,
G. W. Cass.
House of Representatives, Feb. 18, 1869.
George W. Cass , President , etc : I am in receipt of
your fayor of the 17th Inst, asking what I wish
to accomplish by tbo passage of my bill relative
to proxies. It gives me pleasure to respond.
f expect to give every stockholder the right to
vote either In person or bt proxy upon every
share of stock which is ms property. If, as
yon declare, this will benefit tbo “gamblers of
Wall street," It will not be the first time that bad
men have availed themselves of good legislation.
Yon claim that this Is a “device." If it be a
“device'’ to allow a man to do as be pleases with
bis own you may be right.
8o far aa any change In my views is concerned,
1 refer to recent events. When I supported your
bill, extending the term of three-fourths of your
Dfrectors, it was solely upon your plea that It
was necessary to protect our State Interests.
What do X since and ? Simply that It was a
measure nrged by the Directors of a Rillro&d
Company, to keep tbe oteners of their road from
putting ibem out of offlee ! Jay Goald, of New
York, swears, under oalh, that he controls enough
Interest In your railroad to give bis friends the
management If that be so, by what right do
yon attempt to keep yourself in office by legisla
tion. against tbe wishes of the owners ? As your
bill destroys the right of the stockholder to vote
for his own officers, I do not thins it
just or constitutional. So far as tbe
“State Interest” pica is concerned, it has
been destroyed by the utter failure of the Penn
sylvania Central Railroad, in its annual report,
to allude to your road, and by the fact- that par
ties in your interest have secured a charter (now
in my hands) enabling a “through” line to be
run between Chicago, Pittsburgh and Baltimore,
entirely ignoring our own Pennsylvania Railroad
and our own city of Philadelphia.
Your first bill has been followed by an attempt
(under tbe “device" of a general law) to deprive
men who have bought and paid for their slock
from voting the same! The device has been
folly exposed by the legislative reporters in the
Hew York, Philadelphia and Cincinnati press.
I think that I have fully answered your ques
tions.
Ycure, elc., David Foy.

(From the N. Y. Herald of today. J
Fro. 16.—Wall street daring the last few days, has
shown certain symptoms which, in the present import
ance of tbe financial question, should not be lost sight of.
Hie markets have been very illogical io their course,
contrary to all tbe precedents which Wall street wise
acres have laid down as rules for the fluctuations of
stocks. Thus gold has suddenly declined, and,
according to tbe theory of the street, stocks
should have followed in its wake. But Die very
reverse has been the case to-day. While gold was going
down stocks were going up. to the great consternation
of tbe “bears,” who created such a flurry the other day
br inelstins that the fate of all Wall street and toe coun
try hinged upon th» fnture of gold, which, thenanpported
by a clique to the uttcrmoeCof their strength, was ex
hibiting the droopiDg tlgc* which were prophetic of tbe
nuth. Id the government market, too, there was some
thing of this iucon>is?<*ncy. for La’e in the afternoon,
when go*d was at its lowest, bond* were at tha high
est point of the day. These facte make It proper to
consider whether toe appreciation of stocks and of tbe
railway property which they repreeooMs not, after all,
founded upon more than the Jnfiatire efforts of parties in
erected in the fluctuations of the Exchange. The gradual
improvement ol our credit abroad is no simple burst of
enthusiasm >n favor of Americans or American entar
pilscs European capitalists are coot headed and-lmg
beaded. Their investment in our proper tv is the result of
very deliberate investigation. 1 bey have calculated and
probed tbe future, and are satisfied that tbe United
States is mtaring upon a career of great prosp rty. Their
action affords ns come clue to tbe Inconsistency - hove re
ferred to. It seems startling to suggest such a question,
bat as Gen. Butler has said that America should orig mate
afinaicl*! system of her own, so it mar he that the
course of our financial affairs is equally novel. Do
not tbe facts referred to appear to iatlmste that gold's
fahlng to par without that shrinkage of values and that
crash In business which were the promised result-? Stocks
remain firm and buoyantln tbe face of declining gold. Is
it unreasonable to surmise that our currency is under
going a process of gradual sotidificatl on which will c ury
us to resumption without the dangerous interference of

some of (he courts have heretofo e held was a matter of
honor has now become an obligation, and must enhance
the market value of their securities.
These bonds are a first mortgage upon one of tha longest
lines of railroad in tho world. The amount will be less
than $27,000 per mile. The earniogs from local busioesa
over a portion of the road last year were over five million

By tbe Atlantic Cable*
London, Feb. 20.—The failure in the United
States Senate to ratify the treaty recently con
cluded between Clarendon and Reverdy Johnson,
for the settlement of the Alabama claims, has
elieiied the following comments from the London
journals of this morning:
The Standard (Conservative) regrets the re
jection ot the Convention after the protracted
and laborious negotiations. Advances' for a new
treaty mnst come from the United States. Eng
land is now unfettered from concessions, and will
only treat hereafter on terms of absolute equality.
The Timet says the present treaty has testified
the amity of England, and its failure does not en
danger the friendly relations between the two
countries, bat will rather serve as a warning in
arranging the points of a new convention.
The Pori (Conservative) regrets the rejection of
the treaty only on aeconnt of the delay it will oc
casion in the restoration of friendly relations be
tween Great Britain and the United States.

and called attention to the statement in the me
morial ol the owners.
Mr. Nye said if that were so the transfer was
illegal, and no legislation was necessary to re
instate the vessel in her former position.
Mr. Cameron was in favor of a general bill ap
plying to all vessels that were entitled to be given
again the protection of the American flag, and
nhtil such a bill could be.passed, he would have
the interested parties wait.
Mr. Bnmner said that the Senator from Penn
sylvania forgot that these gentlemen had already
waited a good while. He was in favor of a gene
ral bill, but he wished, in the meantime, to take
up individnal cases, and deal with them on their
merits. To let this bill wait new would be to
kill it.
(Bouse—Continued from Third Edition.]
The consideration of the snbject was inter
rupted at one o’clock by the Sergeant-at-Arms ap
pearing at the bar of the House with 20 honorable
culprits in his charge, the absentees of last night,
who had since fallen into his net. They were
ranged in the area in front of the Speaker’s chair,

Mr. Broomall rose and offered a resolution
dirt cling that further proceedings under the call
be dispensed with, and that the Committee on
Accounts be authorized to allow to the Sergeant
at-Arms the amount ot expenses incurred by
him.
Mr. Bandall moved to lay the whole subject on
the table. Rejected.
Mr. Judd inquired what the legal fees of the
Sergeant-at-Arms were. He understood that one
call of the House had cost $577.
Mr. Broomall replied, that the fees were $3 20
for each man arrested, and mileage. He moved
the previous question.
Tbe previous question was seconded, and the
resolution was adopted.
The members in custody then took their seats,
and the curtain fell on the performance entitled :
“A oall of the House.”
_ The House resumed the eonsidoration of the
New Mexico contested election case.

Tbe Ocean Bate.
The New York Tima sayß:
“It won't be tbe ianlt of the newspapers if two
or three ocean steamers do not go to the bottom,
with all on board, before the season is over. Two
or three journals, bard up for subscribers and a
sensation, persist in publishing, with staring
headings, detailed accounts of the results of an
ocean raee between the Russia and the City of
Paris steamers, with reports of the enormous
bets depending on the result, and the extraor
dinary means taken by each to win. In face of
the fact that the managers of the lines to
which these vessels belong have denied in the
most explicit and emphatic manner that there
has been any such thing as a race between their
respective vessels, the pertinacity with which
these journals persist in their falsehoods is sur
prising. They probably know that a constant
reiteration of the original fabrication is pretty
sure to command some sort of credence; while a
denial can be slurred over aa of no consequence
and entitled to no credit. There may be men
toollßh enough to bet os to which of two steamors,
sailing at the same,time, will reach the other aide
first; But this by no means makes a race.”
THE FICTITIOUS OCEAN RACE.
To the Editor of the Sun: Sib: — l am instructed
by Mr. Cnnard to Bay that the statements con
tained in two paragraphs of your paper
of yesterday, as to a proposed race be
tween the Rnssia and City of Paris,
are entirely nntrne. No snch race has seen
agreed npoß, nor is there any competition be
tween these ships as to speed, nor has the Russia
been prepared for sea in any other than her osnal
manner, bnt sailed entirely fnll of cargo. The
starting of the City of Paris in advance of her
nsnal day was in no manner connected with the
sailing of the Rnssia, bnt was owing to an en
tirely different canse, which was well known to
the mercantile community.
