BOVTIKEIIIN NENTINIEPT.
We are glad to believe that, a revulsion of
feeling has begun in. the South in favor of
submission to the reconstruction laws of Con
gress, and of a sincere allegiance to the gov
ernment. The recent movement in Virginia
and ene or two other of the Southern States
towards the'formation of a distinctive Union
party, was the first trustworthy evidence of
this; but we have further proof in the cordial
manner in which the sentiments of President
Grant's inaugural address have been received
by the majority of the Southern newspapers.
A few of the most rabid rebel journals, for
lowing the example of the New York World,
found fault, after a savage fashion, with the
speech, and placed themselves at once in di
rect and unreasoning antagonism with the
new adMiThistration. But most of the South
ern presS, including journals of both parties,
commended Grant's theories and premised to
endorse his consistent practice of them. At
the same time they chroniele the arrival of an
era of peace and of observance of law and
order in all sections. We hear no more of
Su-Slux outrnges, of negro uprisings, of po
litical assail:dilations, or of persecutions for
opinion's sake. After eight years of turmoil
and trouble and agitation and blood
shed, the land is blessed with rest
and quiet ; and the people are
learning to accept the lesson of their defeat.
The fact is.the whole South is tired of useless
combat against fancied wrongs, and of the
misery which it has brought upon itself by its
obstinacy. Thcf people perceive now that
Andrew Johnson, far from being the friend
and benefactor that he assumed to be, was
their worst enemy; that when, by false promi
ses, he lured them on to further violent oppo
sition to the laws of Congress, he involved
them in disaster and ruin from which he was
powerless to extricate them. They under
stand now that the reconstruction acts are a
part of the law of the land, and obedience to
them is as inevitable as submissiqp to the
Constitution itself. Gen. Grant's declaration
of his intention to enforce them, only makes
escape from them more , hopeless, and the
fEleuthemers, perceiving this, and finding, also,
that the laws are not, after all, so oppressive
and iniquitous, have yielded gracefully, and
determined to forget their prejudices and their
ancient enmity to the government.
in this wise determination they will have
the hearty support and encouragement of the
Republican party and of all good and loya
men everywhere. They will be welcomed
back Into the Union ranks so warmly, that
they will see that our denunciation of them
in the past was mere reprobation of their
rebellious conduct; not the offspring of sec
tional hate. The time will come when it
will be admitted that the action of Northern
Republicans in abolishing slavery, was the
wisest and kindest favor that could have been
conferred upon the South. If, now, these
people will abandon their rebellious attitude
'wholly, and turn their attention to the de
velopment of the immense resources of their
beautiful land, they will find, such prosperity
and wealth under the new regime as they
never even hoped for when they strove to
build an empire on the basis of human
slavery. It will not be the least of the bless
ings of the new era of peace, if, during its
earlier years, the South follows this policy of'
faithful allegiance to the Government, and so
works out its perfect regeneration.
HOW NOT TO DO I r.
We desire to commend Mr. Fox for every
proper effort on his part to fulfil the duties of
the Mayoralty, and for none more than in
those which have for their object the enforce
ment of the ordinance regulating the clean
ing of the streets. But it is difficult to find
the authority by which His Honor is pro
ceeding against the delinquent contractors.
The ordinance of May 30, 1868, is very ex
plicit as to the power of the Mayor on this
subject. Section 2, provides that the Mayor,
if, in his opinion, the contractors fail of their
duty, shall `forthwith and absolutely
annul the contract." Section 4, provides that
"the Superintendent of Street Cleansing, or
whoever may be deputed for the purpose,
shall report the neglect of the contractors to
the Mayor and to the Committee on Street
Cleansing," and if, after such report the con
tractors do not immediately remedy the corn
plaint,the Mayor may, "upon the request of the
Committee on Street Cleaning" direct the
work to be done at the expense of the default
ing contractor, the costs being paid out of
the five thousand dollars which are retained
by the City out of the mouthy instalments of
the contractor. These two Sections cover all
the powers of the Mayor in the premises.
Bo has not executed either of them, but has,
lowed, refused his signature to the vvar
xfutta of the contractors. In his message to
Councils, he does not establish his own war
rant for tills proceeding, and gives no good
reason why be &ea not carry out the sitaple
provisions of the law.. It is 14ayer ,vpie
business "forthwlth and absolutely" to ,an
nul the contracts, and it is the business of the
City Solleitor to commence imniesdiate pro
Secutione of the contractors and their sure
ties.
Vow shatnefully this business of clettrAng
the streets isneglected is best shown by the
testimony of the contractors themselves, as
given in their recent statements to. Councils.
From these we learn that, in the month of
February they cleaned 242 squares, or,allow
ing ten squares to the' mile, a little over 24
mileB of streets. Allawing four inert to a
square to scrape the dirt up, for no sweeping
was done, and allowing 20 days for the work,
we have 48 men employed for cleaning the
whole of this immense city—which will give
these contractors 12 men each If it thus
takes these contractors one month to clean
24 miles, how long will it take them to clean •
the 350 miles of paved streets in the city?
They also inform Councils that they
cleaned twelve inlets out of the 2,700 in the
city during the same period ! One of these
parties further states that he removed daring
the same month 7,920 loads of ashes and dirt.
As this contractor's district embraces one
half of the city, it follows that if the others
did as well, there were only 15,840 loads of
ashes and dirtremoved, which is about 9,000
loads less than ought to have been collected
of ashes alone!
The street contractors thoroughly under
stand "how not to do it;" and unless the
Mayor takes hold of them in the manner re
quired by law, he will also be suspected of
possessing a large degree of the same faculty.
Councils have referred the whole business to a
Joint Committee, which we hope will result
in an honest enforcement of the law, which
these contractors have so miserably violated.
Meantime the Legislature has before it the bill
for vesting this difficult business in the Board
of Health, and it has already passed one
House and has gone to the other. We trust
that it may become a law, and that the ex
periment may be tried in this shape. By no
human possibility can the work be worse
done than under the present system, and we
have some faith that the Board of Health has
not that knowledge of "How not to do it,"
which lw-considered so essential to the tra
ditional administration of some departments
of our municipal affairs.
THE FOREST ALLEM.
Senator Cameron is entitled to credit for
the frank way in which he acknowledges the
animus which pushed the forestalling
scheme to a partial success in the dying hours
of the last Administration. In his interview
withihe President, yesterday, he demanded
Mr. Marks' commission as Collector of this
port, say leg that he did not care for office,
but did not want to be refused a commis
sion by the President. Senator Cameron
added that provided !he commission was
granted, the President was at liberty to re
move Mr. Marks as soon as he liked.
How much or. how little Mr. Marks wants
the Collectorslap remains to be seen; but
the position taken by Senator Cameron is - so - -
precisely that which we indicated in disma
-1 ing the forestalling scheme, and so perfectly in ,
accordance with what is popularly understood
In regard to the arguments by which the con
! firmation of Messrs. Marks and O'Neill were
procured, that it is worthy of notice. Indi
viduals were to be pushed into office, and
then, with a show of acquiescence in their
removal by the new President, they were to
take the chances of holding on, by virtue of
that possession which is "nine points of the
law." When the forestalling scheme broke
down in the Senate, from being over-weighted
with bad nominations, some of the worst of
them were thrown overboard, and, with the
others, who were not open to the same
personal objections, Senator Cameron engi
neered it through, between midnight and
dawn,upon the same plea to the few Senators
who were awake,as was urged yesterday with
the President. He was willing that the Pres
ident should remove the appointees, if he de
sired it, but he did not wish to fall in a point
upon which he had set his heart. The Sena
tor from Pennsylvania is an able strategist,
and his friends were confirmed.
Mr. Marks,we are informed, is a thorough
going Republican, and while we have always
held that the Collectorship of Philadelphia
should be in the hands of gentlemen with a
wider experience in the general business in
terests of the city, we are glad that it has
been committed, for the time, to one who, by
placing his resignation in the hands of the
President, has so promptly and, gracefully re -
cognized the peculiarity of
. the circumstances
under which hit .commissi on was procured.
THE NR.V V YARD FRAUDS.
The vigorous action of Secretary Bode, in
clearing the way for a thorough investigation
of the alleged frauds at the Philadelphia Navy
Yard, is a good indication of the business
like way in which the affairs of the Navy De
partment are to be administered under the
new regime. Mr. Bode has relieved Chief
Engineers Wood, Isherwood, Henderson,
Inch, Zeller, and Engineers 'Johnson and
Roop, from duty. These officers were all
connected in some way or another with the
purchases of tools for the Philadelphia Navy
Yard or the subsequent investigations, out of
which so much discussion haa arisen, and it
is understood that an investigation of the
whole matter will be made de novo.
This is as it should be. What the service
wants, and what the people want, and what
the journals that have discussed this subject
want, is a clear, fair, searching, impartial
judgment upon this whole business. What
has heretofore been done In the matter has
been confused in its method, dubious in its
spirit, inconclusive and unsatisfactory in its
results. Secretary Rorie means to get at the
truth, the whole truth and nothing but the
truth, and we heartily second him in this
determination. Wherever the blame shall be
proved to belong we ;will be glad to have it
rest. But it will be awarded, not upon
vague rumor, or one-sided evidence, or par
tisan prejudice, but only upon the ascertained
facts of the case, arrived at in an investiga
tion conducted without fear or favor. This
paper has simply demanded this from the be
t ginning. It has no intereyt in any of the
parties to these Navy Yard purchases, either
buyers or sellers. We hold that the Congres
sional investigations have is eels undatielic-

tory, and, with our absolute Confidence -in .1
Secretary p,prie'tl ability , undlieterraination to
sift, this complicated' business to the bottom,
7e cordially commend his initiatory
measures, and 'lnuit thet ha Mill' follOw them
up with the vigor with:which he has begun
them.
It is stated in the Itepiew, the organ of the
Society of Friends in this eitir, that Chant
has applied to that body, in •vieW of , its
admirable record as respeets the..lndians, for
lists of names of persons sUltabie' for Indian
Agents, of men who Will truly represent a
paternal and beneficent government; and as
such' take the plane of thoie' men who, to
our shame and theirs, have "been` permitted
to disgrace us in our: dealings with the
aborigines. ,
This is a noble beginning for our new
President, and will raise him hosts of friends
among all who believe in fair and honest
dealing with all men. .It is also something
that has all the relish of novelty; to hear of
dealings in Washington that will bear the or
dinary tests of honesty commonly applied be
tween man and man. It had come to be so
that we hardly expected more than a sort of
provisional honesty, and that we only hoped
for the punishment of exceptional roguery,
often indeed not even that. We do not hear
that the man , who made a fortune by
contracting to run the mails be
tween two points for - two years,
got his full pay without ever
dispatching one letter, is , in prison, nor have
we news of the prosecution of those parties
who fleeced the government at the Patent
Office. Is this all to be changed, and are we
to have common honesty in' the offices at
Washington ? And is it possible 'that the In
dian is to be treated as a human being, and
to be protected in his civil , rights so long as
lie deserves it ? This will'indeed be a change,
and we may even hope for the same immu
nity from Indian wars' which the English
have enjoyed, if we will treat : them as men,
and not as wild beasts to' be , taken and de
strded.
)P,BEISIDENT ,IGRANIr t , AND, TUB
:.;
Despite the outcry of the Democratic press
against the ratification of the suffrage amend
ment to the Constitutidn, the work goes
bravely on, and before many months we
shall have to record the fact,that the funda
mental law of the land at last Eforbids the de
nial of the right of - suffrage to any man of
any race, within our borders,because of color
or previous condition of servitude. To se
cure this most righteous and truly republican
law the consent of the legislatures of twenty
eight States will be required, add the im
portant question now is, Can this number be
procured ? The general opinion is that it
can. Already the nine following States have
ratified the amendment: Maine, Missouri,
linoie, Kansas, Louisiana, Mie,higan,Wiscon
sin, Nevada and West Virginia. Besides
these, we can count with nearly absolute
certainty upon fifteen more, as follows: New
Hampshire, which has just elected a Re
publican legislature; Vermont, Massa
chusetti North _ Carolina,
Alabama, New York, Pennsylvania,
Indiana, Arkansas, Florida, lowa,
Minnesota, Nebraska and South Carolina.
Rhode Island will elect its Legislature next
month; and Ohio will do so in October; both
may be regarded as sure to go Republican by
handsome majorities. But two more States
will be needed then to make the required
number. Connecticut may elect a Republi
can Legislature; but the chances are about
even in favor of a contrary result. Still we
can look to California„liregen and Georgia;
and if Virginia and Milsissippi are recon
structed meanwhile, we may count, with
some certainty, upon them. Texas, even in
a reconstructed condition, will be likely to
oppose the amendment; and Maryland, Dela
ware and Kentucky will be absolutely certain
to do so. But, with any of the States men-
timed as doubtful, upon our side, the right
will win, and the great question will be set
tled forever. The Republicans in Connec
ticut are making mighty efforts to win the
April elections; and with the existing good
feeling for Grant they 'may succeed. Then
we shall have to obtain one more State, and
there is every reason to suppose that this can
be accomplished.
The Committee on Federal Relations in
the House of Representatives at Harrisburg
yesterday, submitted a majority report fa
voring the ratification of the suffrage amend
ment to the Constitutinn, and a minority re
port disapproving of it. The latter document
is the work of the few recalcitrant Demo
crats upon the committee,—partisans who
are pledged to oppose every Republican
measure, no matter how excellent. The
sentiments of the majority report are patriotic
and praiseworthy, but we regret to say that
they, are expressed in that spread-eagle style
which even school boys have come to recog
nize EIS laughable rather than effective. But
we sincerely ,hope the Legislature will accept
the theories of the document as true and
righteous altogether, • and proceed to place
Pennsylvania next in the list of those States
which 'have already ratified the amendment.

'Special Derpateh to the Phi Wu. gventog Bulletin
WASHINGTON, March 11.—The caucus of the
Pennsylvania Congressmen, yesterday, 'did. tioi
end satisfactorily" to all concerned, the only
thing :really settled having been that the usual
custom, allowing each member to control the
appointments in his district, should still be ob
served.
When the delegation visited General Grant
yesterday, they simply asked him to postpon,
his Pennsylvania appointments until next week.
Be intimated that he had no objection to doing
eo, in most cases, but said he desired to make
some appointments in Philadelphia on personal
grounds. It is said that he intimated that he
should appoint Alex-Murdock, who Was removed
by Johnson frona the office of Marshal of the
Western District of Pennsylvania.
Ilia is understood to be at the instance of Mr.
McKennan. It was also understood that Aubrey
11. Smith, Esq., would be District Attorney in
place of O'Neill.
J. A. iliestand, of the Lancaster Examiner, is

8 o'clock, Mr. John M. Hinckley, ex-Solicitor
of Internal Revenue, and Mr. Rollins, ex-Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, met at the corner
of F and Fourteenth street, opposite Willard's
Hotel. Hinckley threw away his cloak and cane
and attempted to strike Mr. Rollins with his fist.
Mr. Rollins, not caring to engage in a collision,
ran along F street and np Fifteenth towards the
Revenue Office. Mr. Bincidey pursued him
until Mr. Rollins had nearly reached the Revenue
office, and then wilds way borne met Deputy
Commissioner Harland on New York avenue,
and accosted him with the inquiry whether he
would fight. Mr. Harland responded affirma
tively. whereupon Hinckley knocked him down
and then Harland was severely beaten, when a
crowd interposed and separated the parties.
These meetings were 'casual. This version of the
affair comes from Hinckley's friends.

THE RCEII FOR. OFFICE.
The Vice President Besieged by an
army of Office-floaters — Howls of
theibleappointed.
The Washington correspondent of the N. Y.
Herald says:
The pressure Upon Vl4. President Colfax for
offices le, perhaps greater than upon any other
individual. Nearly all the applicants claim to
have been"delegates to the Chicago Convention,
and of course they all voted for Mr. Colfax. The
Grant and Colfax Presidential electors, who have
been •organizing in different forms, being
unable to reach the President, have, like
the delegates to_ the, Chicago Convention,
laid siege to Colfax. ,In addition to this
small army of hungry offce-seekers temporarily
encamped here, the applications from abroad
come iilevery day by the hundred. The good
natured, smiling Vice President finds his new [w
elder{ more difficult than that of Speaker of the
House. His private residence is besieged from
early morning until late at night. Ills room
at the Capitol is difficult of access, becatise of
the largo crowd of eager expectants who block
up the entrance to it. His appearance upon
the street is the signal for a general at
tack on the part of every person who wants a
place, from a Cabinet position down to a post
office. This condition of affairs is too much for
the Vice President, and would certainly sour a
temper lees sweet and genial than hie. lle has
steadily refused to interfere in any manner with
the distribution of public patronage, and
announces his intention of pursuing- this
course all through the administration. This,
as might be expected, has given great
offence to , the Grant. and Colfax electors
and the delegates to, the Chicago Convention who
voted for Mr. Colfax as the candidate for Vice
President. One of these disappointed and disin
terested patriots Waßswearing lustily to-day over
what he termed the cold indifference of the Vice
Preeldent. "If we had it to do again," he said,
"I'll bet you Schuyler Colfax wouldn't, be Vice
President, not if our , delegation could
help it. I wish we had voted for
old Ben Wade. I don't think' he would have
gone bask on his friends in this etyle." This
man, was a Pennsylvanian, and ho seemed to
grow more irate at the thought that the;Vote of
that State in the convention turned the tide in,
favor Colfax:- "Arid," he went On to say, "to
think that after we saved him, he .turnef
mow and goes back On ite." 'Thb Nice -President
proposes to rid himself „or athe!office-seekerei by
leaving, ::the, city; Ho ~liefortned the San'ete're of

. _
On motion of Mr. Harlan, the House joint re
solution to supply an omission in the enrolment
Of the miscellaneous appropriation bill by insert
ing an item of 81,200 for A. B. Sheppard, the
amount of a check for Indian supplies, which
check was lost by him, was taken up and passed.
On motion, the President' was requested to in
form the Senate whether the Government of
Venezuela bad paid the first installment due to
American citizens by the award of the mixed
Commission.
The Senate then, at one o'clock, took up the
bill to strengthen the Public Credit and relating
to contracts for the payment of coin.
Mr. Sumner moved to amend the bill, by
striking out the 2d Section, which legalizes con
tracts to be hereafter made specifically payable
In coin. He Bald he had been In favor of the
principle of the section, and had voted for it
at thelast session, but that Since the , recent de
cision of the Supreme Court on the question, he
„rad been led seriously to doubt the policy oI
Dassiog it now. According to that decision,
:ontracts in gold were legal. What more war,
;Ignited? Another decision? No. Au act of
Congress., Why? He saw no reason why Con
gress should intervene in order to give any ad
ditional sanction to contracts in gold; on this
contrary, he saw difficulties in the way. • It would
open embarrassing questions which had not been
imbed under the decision of the Supreme
Court.
Ho had therefore come to the conclusion that
it was better to rely on that decision as all-suffi
cient for the present.
Mr. Sherman opposed the amendment offered
Y
y Mr. Brunner. The two sections of the bill
were harmonious. Ho had examined the de
cisions of the Supreme Court. The point decided
was simply that a contract payable In coin Made
before the passage of the legal tender act could be
enforced. Ho was in favor of the section,because
it would net as a guard against usury in restrict
ing its operations to contracts where coin or coin
{'also is the consideration.
Mr. Cole was in favor of striking out the sec
tion on account of its effect on business in Cali
fornia, which was generally done on a coin
basis, and because he thought that the legal in
ference of declaring valid such contracts hereto
fore fn
waa in favor of retaining tho sec.
Hon, although he did , not attach very much im
portance to it. He did not agreo with the legal
propceition'etated by the Senator from Califor
nia. '
Mr. Howard was Opposed to the section because
o thought it an oncroachment on the rights of
he • Matte, the question of private contract , f
.eing within the exclusive oontrol - of the State
cgislatures. - the, section wore to be retained.
