M Chestnut street seattf! EVENING BULLETIN. Thursday, February 25, iB6o* .... THE CORING IHAIV. We‘ know who the coming cabinet office 1 from Pennsylvania is, but we do not mean to telL He is a gentleman for whom we have the highest regard, and is an ornament to the Republican party. In the prime of life, that is, not far from sixty years of age, with pleasant manners, unblemished reputa tion and excellent intellectual abilities, Mr possesses just those qualities which might have been expected to attract General Grant’s attention and commend him to his sagacious choice. Gen. is distinctly identified with the Republican party, and his peculiar services in this connection deserve the honorable recognition which General Grant thus gives them. Philadelphia knows the Hon. well and so does the State at large; and Pennsylvania will feel that she is well represented, when she sees her Coming Man seated in the Cabinet. , Esq., is a married man, with a considerable and very interesting family, and few men will do honors in the social circle at Washington with more hospitality and grace. We do not feel at liberty to indicate the Department which Pennsylvania is to have. Our private information on this subject is late and satis factoiyjbut all that we can divulge is the fact that it will be one of the most important de part ments of the Government, in which the Coming Man,—if be will permit ns to refer to him by that phrase,—will find a necessity for a very early and extensive clearing out ol dead and rotten wood. We would gladly relieve the anxieties O' «nr many friends by giving them Mr. same at once, bnt it would be an unpardon able breach of confidence, and they mast wait patiently for a few days longer, when the Coming Man will burst upon them, and they will acknowledge that he is a gentle tleman, in all respects worth waiting for. BBOAD BTBEET AND THE CITE. Questions connected with Broad street have always been too muoh discussed in connection with the feelings and interests of those who live upon it. Without in the least intending to deny their right to have much to aay in respect to the disposition of that ave nue, it is unquestionably now beginning to be felt that Broad street belongs to the city at large. It is the common interest of all the citizens of Philadelphia to make our city attractive as a place of residence. Otherwise, those who have retired from business would be tempted to move to other cities, or live abroad. Losses of capital in this way may become serions: the prosperity of a community depends upon that of these who make it up, and upon their numbers. And a city that is not only pros perous, hut agreeable as a place of residence, attracts both men of business and men ot leisure, and induceß them to make it their home. If Philadelphia is ever to have a remarkable street, it must be Broad street,and everything should be done, in the common interest of all citizens,to preserve it from invasion. There has been some talk of an application being made So the Legislature for a passenger railway along it. We earnestly protest against this. Not in the interest of the owners of ground Along it—it is not they who will be injured, but the public at largo. All eur streets run ning north and south have been given up to the railways, and one must be kept free from thiß invasion at any cost. To charter such a read would be simply an outrage. We un derstood some years ago that legislation had been obtained such as would protect the city against such rapacity, and we now invite the Attention of Gonncils to the subject. It Broad street is not now safe, legislation should be obtained at once that will render it so. Councils should also see to it that the entire line oi the street should be placed at once in complete order, with on unbroken line of good pavement from the present end of the good paving at Coates street south to Spruce or farther. The business interests of a city may be Its first, but are not its only interests. If the city 1b to have every line of street filled Up with railroads, bo that those who pleasure in horses and driving have no pave ment left them, they vrill naturally go to Other cities and take their means with them. The value of attraction is not as well under stood hete as it should be. A principal souroe Of the wealth of Paris lies in the enormous oxpendittfrcß of money made there by strangers, and if the amount of Philadelphia money that is expended there could be ahonn THE DAILY EYEii MG BULLETIN ■•-PHILADELPHIA. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25.1869. in fignreß, it would probably surprise many. Many persons of independent means are at-, traded to New York by its liveliness and gaiety ; many to Philadelphia by its com fort and moderate cost of living, but not so many as might be, and as we hope will hereafter be. There is a great quicken ing in the city; its extension advances rap idly, the character of its dwellings steadily improves, its new edifices are in better taste and more costly , than hitherto; there are also proßpecte of enlargement in the facilities of institutions of various kinds that are of great importance. A re-organization of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania is proposed; the Legislature is considering bills authorizing two great public institutions to erect handsome buildings on Penn Square. Of course all this, though apparently disconnected from pnrely business interests, reacts powerfully upon them. Every one who is induced to reside in the city, purchases at its stores, rides In its cars, and represents another consumer of the agricultnral products raised around it. So all interests m bound together, nod none but the most short-sighted will disregard the im portance of making Philadelphia beautiful as well as busy. THE HENBZEV DOCTRINE. Senator Henszey is new to the business of legislation, and it is no more than fair to set some of hiß errors down to inexperience. What proportion of them should go to this account would be bard to determine; but it is evident, from the apology which he has c&ueed to be made for bis connection with the weighing bill, that his ideas as to the duties of a Senator are very confused and imperfect. Accepting the Associated Press version of bis views as correct, we find" Mr.-Henszey laying down the doctrine that a Senator is not to be held responsible for the bills he pre sents. Such a doctrine as this is a very dangerous one, and should be everywhere condemned. It is trne that a legis lator ir not bound to vote for every bill that a constituent? asks him to present He may sometimes of fer albill of which he may not approve; but he is bound, in such cases, to say so, when he presents it. He is not bound lo present all bills, irrespective of their merit. He is placed in his responsible position to exercise a wise discrimination hetween good and bad legislation. He is not a mere machine, to be run for the pleasure or profit of every private corporation or individual. Every Senator or representative is expected to use his intelli - gent judgment for the benefit of the whole community which be represents, and if his intelligence or his judgment are not equal to such duty as this, he is, of course, out of his proper place. Mr. Henszey has very properly bowed to the storm which this weighing scheme has raised, and reports the bill with a negative recommendation. We trust that the treat ment which this bill has received at the hands -of the public will serve as a warning to pri vate speculators that there are some limits to the patience of the people, and even to the pliability of the Legislature; and will also suggest to our legislators that all their offi cial acts are closely scrutinized by those who are honeßtly endeavoring to promote the in terests of the pnblic, and that neither per sonal nor political considerations will suf fice to screen any man who makes himself the vehicle of such atrocious legislation as ha; been attempted, with more or lesß success, at Harrisburg, this winter. RAILWAY BEN EVACTORS, Our pleasant friends, the railway corpora tion?, are engaged just now in an effort to gel lid of the one obligation to the city of Phila delphia which they have not hitherto been able to escape. A suit, which has for its ob ject the abolition of the $5O license on each car, was argued in the Supreme Court, yea terday, and Mr. Cuyler, for the railway cor poration, got off one or two brilliantly origi nal arguments for his clients. The first was the point that while carriagei and omnibusses might be required to pay a license because they damage the roadway, the railway companies should be exempt be cause they do not damage the roadway. Now, considering the fact that these corpora lions not only damage the roadways by monopolizing about one-third of their width, but still more by their neglect to keep tin slreetß in anything like the condition re quired by their charters, this argument is cer tuinly both brilliant and original. But Mr. Cuyler soared much higher than this. He argued that “the purpose of theße highways was to facilitate easy and rapid transit from all sections and from the centre to the outer districts; and, in thus providing facilities,the city but added to its own wealth and prosperity. The passenger railways then stepped in, and Btill further added to these facilities by means of rails, in carrying out the purpose of the corporation. ” Through all these years, this seoret purpose of the railway corporations to add to the wealth and pros perity of the city has been carefully concealed. The Board of Presidents have patiently borne all the criticisms, all the burdens of abase that have been heaped upon them, as the rep resentatives of corporations without souls, knowing all the time that they were devoted to a great benevolent work. Philan thropy and not fares; duty and not dividends; mercy and not monopoly; prosperity and not profits; these have been the great motive powers of our railway companies, during all this time. Thanks to Mr. Cuyler, we know it at last, and we call upon the people of Philadelphia to recognize at once what have so long been our “blessings in disguise.” CHRISTIANITY IN THB EAST. There is something very strange in the eye-, tematic apathy which Christian governments show towards the spread of Christianity. Not only is no government aid ever given to Mis sionary enterprises, bnt there is a total ab sence of that care and interest for Christians living in heathen countries which might be naturally expected. Several striking instances, have happened of late. The Turks have .been allowed to oppress the Cretans after an heroio resistance on the part of the latter. This Mob ammedan conquest might hare been stopped at any time by a woid from the European powers acting in concert —not a man need have boou sent, nor a musket discharged. Again, la the recent threatened difficulties between Greece and Turkey, all the influence of the European powers has been cast against the Christian and in favor of the Mohammedan nation. Ho really /efficient protection baa ever been given to the Christians dwelling in Turkey, and from time to tim.e massacres have taken place for which ho sufficient punishment has been administered; • In the kingdom of Corea, a persecution commenced several years ago against the Christian inhabitants. It has continued ever since, and at the present time the estimated destruction of life amounts to three thousand. There seems a probability, that every vestige oi Christianity will be rooted out. There is something strange in the perfect apathy with which these matters are watched, Whilst governments are zealous for the pro tection of their own citizens abroad, they seem to feel no call to protect those who hold the same religious faith as themselves and who have no other protectors to look to. It is quite time some action had been taken in the case of the rebel pirate Braine. This man bas bean confined in the penitentiary at Brooklyn, New York, for three years, with out being tried for any offence, and it is said that bis health is so broken that he is a hope lesß invalid. Now we have not one particle of sympathy for Braine in his sufferings. He deserves them all, and much more,’for if he had his just deserts he would be hanged. He murdered innocent men, and destroyed pri vate property with the recklessness of a true freebooter. For theße crimes he should be punished; but it is altogether unjust and scandalous that he should be punished with out even the formality of a trial. We know of no reason why this was not accorded to him long ago, and a righteons judgment meted out to him. It is not too late yet. We must admit, however, that there is a certain degree of injustice in arraigning and punish ing this miserable wretch, while Jeff. Davis, Semmes, and a vast multitude of guiltier men are permitted to go free. It is not fair to select the meanest rebel of all as the object ol vengeance, while the great scoundrels enj ry On the whole, there fore, we think it would be better to treat this man’s case as we have the others, and pardon him. Certainly we must either do this or try him. His present imprisonment is entirely indefensible upon any just grounds. ; It is creditable to the patriotism and hon esty of the Provisional government of Spain that they so readily surrendered their extra ordinary powers, at the bidding of the Cortes. Into the hands of General Serrano, who is tu act as the exeentive of the constitutional gov ernment until an occupant can be found for the throne. It was feared that jealousy and selfish ambition would have made these leaders loth to part with their authority. It augurs well for the future of Spain that it has not been so; but that these men have demon strated their intention to yield everything to the pnblic good. Much will depend, how ever, upon the virtue of General Serrano. His powers are very indefinite, and if he in dulges any personal aspirations be can cause infinite trouble. Probably he will act as justly as his late colleagues have done; but it it will bo prudent to choose his successor,aud define the powers ol the executive as soon as possible. It is not safe to trust such a high position for a long time to the honesty of any one man. It is positively asserted by several of the passengers upon the Juniata, which arrived at this port yesterday from Cuba, that there are twenty American citizens imprisoned ir< Havana upon mere suspicion of being con nected, m some indefinite manner, with the rebellion. Mr. Utly, the Secretary of the United Stales Consulate at Havana, is said to lie arnoDg these prisoners. This story is not, hy any means, incredible,for we have already had authentic information of maltreatment of Americans bv Dulce’s government At any i ate, after the experience ol Messrs. Bliss and Masterman in Paraguay, the matter is worthy ut investigation by the Secretary of State. It will not do to have a repetition in Cuba of the outrages perpetrated against American citizenß by Lopez. Art-lovers will not forget that Mr. Scott will dispose this evening, at his Gallery, No. 1020 Chestnut street, of a little collection oi seventy pictures, which really represents the personal taste of a cultivated conuoisseur. Mr. Calvert only reconciles himself to thi sep&ration from the companions of his choice in view of his contemplated residence abroad for a number of years. The principal com petition at the sale to-night will probably be for the large female figure by Raoul; for the “Weighing in the Mill," by Nordenberg; the “Teaching the Tune,”by Wieschelbnnck;the “Amonoosack Valley,” by Lewis; the “Play ing in the Sunshine," by Bondermann.and the decorative pair by Von Seben, “Snow-balling” and “The Bird’s Nest.” The sale, we are positively assured, is to be absolutely without reserve.

Joseph Harrison, Esq., Philadelphia—Otuut Sib : The Harrison Boilers of 800 horse power, ordered in December, 1860, fortho Plymouth (Mass.) Cordage Company, have given excellent rcenlte. When doing the saigo work aa theeom pany’s old boilers (which are of the fire-box fluo variety, of the best construction and la firot-claea order), a saving of about 20per cent In fuel has been effected. The new boilers were erected to supply steam difficulty Is experienced in obtaining an ample quantity; in fact, a snrplas of steam for all ro qoUemcnts. 1 would, however, arguo in this connection the advantage of bavlng on excess of boiler power, on the ground of the greatly di minished coesnmption of fuel which is sure to follow, for Instance: two 80 P. Harrison Boilers furnished an abundance of steam for the englno above referred to, where developing aboqLAB average of 175 P.; two additional 60 P. boilers were attached (making four in all), and the de crease in the consumption of coal was fully one seven lb. in conclusion, it gives me pleasure to state that I regard (he Harrison Boiler with the highest favor as a safe, reliable end economical steam generator, and believe, with proper management, its durability and freedom from repairs will prove additional recommendations for 1L Tours, respectfully.

Our informant in this case is Mr. M.

Mr. Woodward moved to strike out the foarth section of the bill, which makes tho proposed coins a legal-tender. Mr. Kelley asked Mr. Woodward to modify his amendment so as to limit them to legal-tenders in amounts of 25 cents and over. „ Mr. Woodwurd said he coutd not do that, be cause it was the principle he urged. Mr. Judd said the question raised by the gen tleman from Pa. (Woodward) was discussed iu the Committee, and 60 tar as they coaid ascer tain, the constitution did not prescribe the ma teiial out of which money Bhonld bo made. Mr. Kelley demanded the previous question, and the bill passed. It Is as follows: Be it enacted, «w, Sharswood and Williams. Jadg mentH were entered in the following ca«e«: Forayth ▼►.

The contract of the plainriffi' with the Pennsylvania Rail. ro«d Company whs to carry the barrels of oil received at Pittsburgh to Philadelphia, and th. n deliver them to l eech & Co. at the company's freight station. If there was anv undertaking implied from the fact that the ultimate destination of or the goods -ppeared oa the bill of lading to Red nook, and the freight was to be theie to be received for the carriage over the whole route, it wonlu he only an engagement to forward to that place. * * The limitations and xtiuuifttions con tained in the contract iu regard to the liabilities of the Pennsylvania Company an carriers naturally apply only to that portion of the route iu which they act as ►nch, and not to rhe part in reference to wnirij they ore forwarders. Not. that they canid nor, as agents for the carrier* beyond me terminus of their own roads, stipulate for a limitation also of their liability. It 10 argued that whatever stipulations are contained in the bi'l of lading given for the goods whon originally re celved,onght to be presumed to ex’end over ibe whole route. “The American cu*e* upon the subject, with rare exceptions.” eays Judge Kedfleld, “recognize the right of n railway company hr emer into special contracts to carry goods beyond the line of their own road. And when different routes are nnhed in one continuous route, nuch an undertaking in regard to merchandise received and booked for any point upon the line of the connected companies, is almost mat ter of course." If this could be construed to have been a contract by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to carry to Red H»»ok, then, indeed, it would be a natural and necessary presumotiou that all its terms and limitations should apply to the carriers over every part of the route * * * 1 be part of the bill of lading relied on as containing a stipulation relieving the detendan’s from liability, is tbc written memorandum subscribed, in tbese words: “This oIMs carried only in open cars and entirely at the owner's risk from fire and leakage while in pos session of the railroad company or carrier, while stand ing or in transit.” The first part o»ily applies to trans portation by rail. Now beyond Philadelphia the trans portation was by barge.through the Delaware and Ra ritan canal to Red Hook. If the memorandum looked beyond the terminus of the Pennsylvania Railroad Co., it would not have been stipulated that the oil should be carried only on open cars. “While In the pOi-teeslon of tho Railroad Co ” certainly means the Pen: sylvania Company. “Or carriers, whilestanding or in transit,” uaturnliy following in tho same track, means jaet as certainly “ihoir carriers, whether stand ing nt stations or depots, or in cars while actually moving.” It would be a violent construction to con jecture that subsequent carriers wore then meant. Don btfess It would unve been so expressed If it had beeD no intended. The Court were perfectly right, therefore, In instructing the jury that there was no other contract with the defendants that the receipt of their shipping ogent for tho oil, which contained no limitation of a carrier's liability at common law.
