.... 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

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

“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.

THE HARRISON BOILER WORKS
Gray's Ferry Road, near C. •* Arxsal,
Philadelphia, February 12th, 1889.
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.

827 OCO per. mile, while the earnings upon the portion of
tbe road in operatic n last year averaged more than $7,000
per mile. And whon the entire line shall be opened, as
it will be in the early summer, to the trado and travel
to the Paclfic.the earnings w ill be very largely increased.
Indeed, it is within the estimate of competent judges
that the earnings of the road must soon equal anuually
the full amount of the mortgage bonds.
Holders of govfrnments mav now sell and reinvest in
Union Pacifica at a profit of $lOO to $l4O on each bond, ob
taining a securikveqnally as safe and really more valua
ble, on account orthe longer period before maturity. As
the road is nearly completed, the Issue of bonds must
soon cease, and parties w ho desire to invest should make
their subscriptions at once,
Messrs. W. Painter & Co., and De Haven & Brother, of
this city, receive subscriptions for the bonds, and keep a
line on hand for immediate delivery.

Edward Jarvis, of Massachusetts, has written
two letters to the Committee that
are full of valuable suggestions.
He believes that the next census can be taken ae

the cersns te taken through the Assessors of In

by them.
The Committee has also received a very sug
gestive and valnable letter from Edward M.
Grow, of Providence, R. L, who took the last
emeus In that State more effectually
than It has ever been done In any State
before He makes tbe engges'lon concerning
the best mode of taking census of the manufac
tures and agriculture. He belli ves, with Mr.
Jarvis,that the work of taking the census should
be tak» n from the marshals of the district courts
Of the United States.
Gtneral Garfield Is desirous of receiving sug
gestion? on tbe subject from all snch as have
made it a matter of study. It is his desire that
the census of 1870 shall be far morn thoroagh
nrd valuable in all respects than has ever been

one ordinarily meets hear 'the great centres of:
civilization. Old reporters can remember when
yonng alligators have been caught in the gutters
of the streets, and when even human bodies have
been consumed by tho largest of these amphibi
ous monsters, on what Is pnt down in tho maps
as the streets of the city. Hunters boast that
one can kill deer within five miles of the Bt.
Charles Hotel or City Hall, and it has only been
ionr years ogo that a suburban excursionist was
nttacked by a beaj on the Gentility road, seven
miles from the city’s centre.
All tbeso marvels, however, sink Into Insig
nificance in comparison with that of a chila
devonring denizen of tho forest, of whom we
havejosl been furnished reliable information.
Our informant in this case is Mr. M. Scott, of
Jefferson- Parish, and tbo animal whoso dread
ravages he describes Is the American spotted
tiger, of which specimens can easily be
seen at any timo in menageries. We had
not hitherto known that tbo tiger was
so near a resident to this city, and the
first reading ol the subjoined account
brought to mind well-known ad
venture, whew the traveler was only preserved
from the teroclons beast because the latter, in
making iw spring, bad miscalculated its dis
tance, and landed in the month of an alligator,
unluckily open, a few steps beyond. BtlU, npon
inquiry, it appears that the animal ia not un
known to well-informed residents, and so. wlth
tmt further comment, we give below Mr. Scott’s
simple and concise statement of a horrible tra

ro«d Company whs to carry the barrels of oil received

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.
