THE FIiEVJFATION OF MIELE.
Philadelphia has very extensive provisions
for the punishment of crime, and is not alto
gether destitute of means for the reformation
of criminals. But for the prevention of
crime very little is done for our youth after
they have passed the brief period of pupilage,
in which the public school holds out the op
portunities of titure usefulness and respect-
ability, and the Sunday school supplies to
some e x tent;-=often a miserably small one,—
those higher religious principles which, sin-
eerely held and honestly acted out, are, after
all, the truest preventives of crime.
We have called attention before to the ef
fort which some philanthropic and public
spirited citizens of Philadelphia are now
making to supply this deficiency as regards
one of the . Classes which feels it most• Very
few people, engrossed in their own affairs,
and happy in their own homes, appre
ciate the trials and troubles and
temptations of the lads and young
men who come to our large
-cities from distant homes,and,without friends
or influence of any kind, undertake to make
aliving for themselves by honest work. They
are always coming; often with pure princi
ples, high and manly purposes, and laudable
ambitions. But they are met, at the very
threshold of their city career,with a fatal want
-of a good home and its protecting influences.
With their scanty means they seek out such
poor lodgings as they can afford, and these
prove to most of them the gateway to de
basement and crime. The miserable acoom
modations, the low associations, the absence
of good influences and example, the want of
friendly encouragement and advice, work, in
too many cases,a rapid demoralization, which
begins with a breaking down of self-respect,
developes with the acquisition of bad habits
and worse companions, and culminates in
worthlessness and crime.
These young men who come to our large
cities under these adverse circumstances, are
eminently worth saving. They belong to a
vast class which forms the bone and sinew of
this people. They have energy, intelligence
and an incalculable capacity for good or for
evil in the community. To the terrible tide
of adult ignorance, lawlessness and vice
which emigration pours forever upon our
shores, we can only oppose the youth of
America, trained up to sturdy, honorable, up
right citizenship. For their own sakes and
for the sake of the country these young men
are worth saving, and they can beat be saved
by that policy which has regard rather to the
prevention of crime than to the reformation
of the criminal.
The "Young Men's Home" has this great
aim in view; and the appeals which its
Managers are now making to our citizens for
the funds necessary for its establishment are
based upon the simple principles which we
hieve indicated. A liberal response has
already been made to these appeals, but there
should be at least $30,000 more contributed by
the public-spirited philanthropists of Phila
elolphiitto ensure its perfect success. The
following earnest letter from Bishop Stevens,
of this city, is, in itself, an urgent and
eloquent argument In behalf of this true
charity :
D/OOESE OF PENNSYLVANIA, EF/sOOPAL ROOMS, 706
Walrint etreet, kuILAIDISLPfite, March 10, 1069.—51 y
bear Mr. Jalarr.: I am truly sorry to learn, by the last
report 01 the "Managers of the Young Men's Home,"
that the effort to secure the needed sum for the erection
of a suitable building for their use, has not thus far
been successfel. Nearly five years ago, In my Primary
Charge to the Clergy of this Diocese. I brought to their
notice the great importance of establishing in this city
'Lodging Houses,' where young persons coming from
the country to seek employment here, could be re
celved, watched over, assisted, and cared for, until
they were safely introduced into proper places, and
thus save multitudes from present misery and future
ruin.
Since then, the subject has frequently occupied my
thoughte, and the plan which you propose furnishes
the beet solution to the difficuity of providing for this
greatly-needed agency. While there are many socie
ties for the reformation of persons after they have
committed crimes, and while such societies appeal
eiiongly to the charity and sympathy of the philan
tluroplet and Christian, there is no adequately organ
ised and equipped society for preventing crime, by
tradng out of the way of temptation and evil, those
%to, for lack of this helping baud strew , ed Out Lu
them at the beginning of their city ltfe,are soon turned
sway Into paths of sin and shame, is far wiser
and more economical for the authorities of the city to
establish Such sanitary agencies as shall prevent dis
ease, than to wait until the disease comes, and then,
after Itt
waste of life and means, attempt by stringent
laws Or beneficial assotiations to &nest the epidemic;
SO it , Is far wiser, even on worldly prin.
doe s ...far more economical, in a pecuniary view ; and,
shove all, more in accordance with the Spirit of Our
IfejlgiOn to avert crime, than to reform crime—to save
m en from evil, than to pluck them out of evil—to keep
them from falling, rather than lift them up Utter they
sitedoWyL, This line of thought ,Hunt, Mu buss, Dc
familiar to you, 'anal heed'not enlarge upon it. It is
ifideed end to think; that as most of our remedial socie
ties are now organized, persona must become absolute
criminals before they can ;become their beneficiaries;
that, in tine, the way, and almost the only way to get
befete the notice of the. good and the benevolent, is
through the door of a honso of 111-fame, or through the
gate of a prison. This is a disgrace to our Christianity,
and ought not so to be. Ido hope that yon may sue
seed in your noble work, ano I shall take great plea
sure in placing $l,OOO in your bands for that purpose,
from a sum at my disposal.
Yours, truly,
WM. BACON STEVENS.
Ravonroan STAUB, Esq.
The Managers of the Young Men's Home
Are extremely anxious to avail themselves o f
the present 130a4011 for building, and the
Treasurer, Mr. William Pullet, (O Walnut
street, will be glad to receive the names of
contributors, whose donations can be paid in
at any time during the year which they may
indicate.
SNAP /LEGISLATION,
The Twelfth and Sixteenth Railroad impo
sition was put through the Legislature and
hurried to the Governor for his signature,
simply because its projectors did not dare to
risk an expression of public sentiment on the
subject. The Governor was informed that
the whole Philadelphia delegation desired
the passage of this bill, and it is now gene
rally understood that His Excellency regrets
that his signature was obtained to a bill which
is universally condemned by the . press and the
people of Philadelphia.
Councils have done what they could to
counteract the mischief of this snap legisla
tion, and have forbidden-the removal of the
Pavement of Twelfth or Sixteenth streets for
the purpose of laying the tracks of this rail
road nuisance, and Councils deserve credit
for their bold and prompt protest against this
outrage upon the people's rights.
Last Monday evening, at a late hour, a bill
was sneaked into the Legislature by Mr.
McGinnis (Democrat), as follows:
••That all pasFenger railway companies. heretofore
authorised to lay and construct such railways in the
city of Philadelphia, must remove and relay the pave
ment or cobble stouesffver which they pass, at their
own expense, withdnt any action of the Councils of
said city. That all corporations, organized as above,
failing to comply with the requirements in the first
section of this bill shall be fined in a sum equal to
double the amount of the cost of relaying said pave
ment by the city authorities."
Not a word here about the Twelfth and
Sixteenth Railroad; not at all. But here is
the attempt to give that Company the author
ity to defy Councils in their effort to protect
the city from this railroad imposition. It is
only given by implication,but it would prob
ably be warrant enough; and so the Legisla
ture followed up its first snap legislation by
passing this bill, defeating an attempt to re
consider, and sending it to the Senate.
Wil the Senate pass this bill? We hope
not; but then we hoped that it would not
pass the bill which this is meant to back up.
We urge its defeat upon the Senate, simply
because it is in reality a bad supplement to a
bad bill, which some Senators were induced
to vote for under the mistaken theory that
the Philadelphia delegation represents the
wishes of the people of Philadelphia.
But we commend this bill of Mr. McGin
nis's, especially, to the notice of Governor
Geary. Herb is a fair opportunity for Hie
Excellency to put himself right before the
people of Philadelphia, and to give practical
proof that he disapproves of the original bill
to which his signature was so improperly ob
tained. Let the Governor veto this bill if it
comes to him, and so give to the Councils of
Philadelphia his official support in this mat-
ter. Councils have done all that lies in their
power to prevent and resist this snap legisla
tion; now let Governor Geary come to their
aid, and it may yet be shown that the rights
of the people of Philadelphia in the control of
the public highways can be defended, and
must be respected.
POS rmasrEtz BING IRA II
It is a well-earned compliment that in the
rush for nearly every office in the gift of the
Government, there is no serious attempt to
displace the efficient and popular Postmaster
of Philadelphia, General Henry H. Bingham.
This concession is not to be attributed to the
act that there is no one to be found willing
to undertake the duties of the office, for there
are undoubtedly several; but to the other fact
that Philadelphia has never had so good a
Postmaster as the present one, and would be
almost sure to suffer, in some way or another,
by a change.
The reforms and improvements which
General Bingham has introduced into the
Philadelphia Post-office have been so numer
ous, so practical and so uniformly successful,
that the whole business community, without
respect to party differences, would object to
his removal as a public injury and loss. In
securing and retaining civil, efficient and
honest subordinates; in expediting the assort
ing of the mails; in largely increasing the col
lections and deliveries of letters; in the ad
mirable working of the Register and Money
Order systems, and in the generally smooth,
quiet and satisfactory working of
the who e business& of the office,
General Bingham has displayed a degree of en
ergy,oriainality and ability which has secured
for him the universal commendation of the
business community of Philadelphia. Under
his administration,the Post-office has become
a model establishment, and it would not only
be an act of injustice to him, but a positive
loss to the business interests of Philadelphia,
if, through the intrigues of some political ad
versary,—and through no other influence
could it be accomplished,—so "good and
faithful a servant" should be removed from
an office in which he has done himself so
much credit and the people so much good
service.
The policy of President Grant's Adminis
tration is precisely opposite to that of his
predecessor. He means to punish bad and
reward good servants Mr. Johnson pun
ished the good and rewarded the bad. Under
President Grant, there is little danger of
public officers being disturbed, who are as
staunch in their Republican principles, as
clear in their military record, and as efficient
and faithful in their official duties as is our
worthy Postmaster, General Henry H
Bingham.

Where are the itetnalise of Voltaire?
The Adzeleaula publishes the facts (recently
printed in the Bumarm) communicated to
Taine,the critic,by Mr. Schuyler, American Con
sul at Moscow, in relation to the last hours of
Voltaire; it then traces the fate of the great
sceptic's remains as follows:
The body was at once embalmed. The heart
was given to the Marquis de Vi!lett% who placed
it In hisprivate residence. Voltaire's nephew,
the Abbd Mignot, contrived to smuggle the body
itself qut of Paris. It was decked in the dressing
gown and nightcap of the defunct, and laid at
length in a carriage, so that it might pass for an
invalid being transported to the country. A ser
vant sat in the carriage with it. The corpse was
thus conveyed to the Abbey of Cellieres, belong
ing to the Abbd aligned, who, with another
nephew of Voltaire's, M. d'Ornoy, and some
friends, were on the spot which is a few miles
from Nogent-sur-Seine. Into a grave, eight feet
deep. the unconfined body was let down. Quick
lime. two feet deep, was cast upon it, and in a
few bouts the body was entirely consumed. Thus
the end was gained of burying Voltaire in conse
crated grountl, and preventing the possibility of
the body being cast out of the grave. The prior
of the abbey Awl a funeral service celebrated in
honor of the deeeased in the abbey where he was
Interred, and similar services were celebrated in
neighboring churches. The diocesan Bishop of
Troyes published his anger at this step; but the
Prior remarked that he could not legally refuse
the rites of sepulture to the body of a man who
had duly confessed so shortly before his death.
It Was reported that the Bishop might have pre
vented what he only thought fit to censure.
Now arises a question of some historical inter
est. On the 90th of May, 1791, a coffin was car
ried from Collieres to Paris, which was said to
contain the body of Voltaire. It was conveyed
to the "Pantheon," into which the Church of
Ste.-Gendvieve had just been converted, with
such circumstance of pomp as has probably
never been awarded to the. most exalted of
mortal. men. In 180 G • the Church was
restored to its first purpose; but it was
not till 1822 that it was re-consecrated, and
divine worship again performed in it. Five years
ago the present Marquis do Villette presented the
Emperor with Voltaire's heart. His majesty
thought that such a relic might be placed where
Voltaire's body lay, in the Church of Ste. Gen
evieve. The Archbishop was consulted; but he
smiled, as he hinted a doubt whether the remains
of Voltaire could be found in the above church.
The tomb was opened, and proved to be empty.
Then old men remembered a story of
the coffin that had been carried thither
froth Cellieres having been denied away
by the pilests of Ste. Genevieve, and burled
in some unconsecrated hole. The heart is
now, we belles, in the Imperial Library. The
document sent to Catharine by her ambassador
In France would seem to show that Voltaire's
body could never have rested in the Pantheon at
all. All 'the sentimental pilgrimages made
thither were' made to a shrine without a hero.
The two feet of quicklime thrown on tho body at
Its bullet at Centimes disposed of what was
mortal of the hero. The "Apotheosis" of Vol
taire in 1791 was a splendid farce, and Mon
seigneur l'Areheveque Darboys probably know
"all.about it" when he quietly smiled at the ap
plication to have Voltaire'e heart placed near
Voltaire's body.

WASHINGTON, March 18.—UWE yesterday it
seemed quite certain that President Grant had
determined to send Mr. Motley to his old post, at
Vienna, Austria, but after consultation with
prominent men he has concluded not to do so,
but to tender him the more important mission
to the Court of St. , James, to relieve Reverdy
Johnson. Mr. Motley's name will be sent to the
Senate on Monday, unless another change in the
slate is made before that time.

A Pam FIBS DEPAIMIENT.—Bir. J. R.-Kblgs
ley, the enterprising head of the Continental
Hotel, has just perfected a "Paid Fire Depart
ment" for the protection of his own and the
the neighboring properties. The Continental
Hotel has always been well furnished
with fire apparatus, but the tremendous
conflagration at Ninth and Chestnut
streets has suggested the necessity
for still further appl ia nces, and Mr. Kingsley has
organized in his magnificent hotel a systam
which renders it well-nigh Aroproot. Themo
live power la supplied by one of Worthington's
double-acting pumps, and the water is conveyed
to all parts of the b uilding by means of about
1,000 test of gum hose.
The new machinery was tested at noon to-day
with the greatest success. The hose was first laid
over the roof of the hotel, and three streams were
thrown at once in various directions, sufficient to
protect the entire surface of the hotel from adja
cent fires. The force of the pump wanthen concen
trated upon a single stream, which was thrown
with prodigious force upon the neighboring
buildings, first upon Herkness's Bazaar, at the
rear, and afterward upon the Girard House, in
front, reaching the extreme wings of
that building. Signal tubes aro run to
the roof, communicating with the engine
room, and the Continental Fire Department is
thus enabled to carry on its operations a hundred
feet and more above the pumping machinery,
with a perfect understanding with the steam
engineer. Ropes, lanterns and axes are kept in
a house upon the roof, and a corps of paid tire
men are always on the premises and ready for
service.
After a most satisfactory trial of the new ap
paratus, on the root of the hotel, lines of hose
were attached to the pump, and two splendid
streams were thrown from the sidewalk, on Elan-
SOM street, completely over the lofty cornice of
the building. It was conceded by all who wit
nessed the performance that the volume and
height of the streams could not be equalled by
any steamer in the Philadelphia Fire Department.
Mr. Kingsley's "Paid Fire Department" is
under the command of Chief Eniner Barney
Carlin, with several assistants. Mr. Kingsley
deserves great crbdit for his enterprise in pro
viding such an effective'system for the protection
of his great family and his splendid property,
and we eongratglate the surroundingproperty
owners and tenants on having such a wide-awake
neighbor as they have in the proprietor of the
Continental Hotel.

to injure his badness by passin resolutions that he

Maton 12.—The demand for our bonds in -Europa has
been already large enough to produce important effects
in foreign financial centres. Within the past month hold
ere of hriglish console have been tempted to part with
their home securities, and we find, in comparing prices
at the London Exchange. that when United States secu
rities were ascending consols were going down. Within
the past week, however. there was & reversal of move
ments in these rival investments, console going
up and onr bonds descending The reason
lies in the difficulties which attended
the formation of President Grant's Cabinet A delay in
organizing a new government in England or any other
pon ion of Europe is looked neon as a very serious matter,
and foreign capitalists and investors have regarded the
work of making a Cabinet here as a similar process.
Hence the inaugural of President Grantwith tne promise
to pay the bonds in gold, produced vet , little effect in ap
preciating our bonds abroad especially as it was Immo.
diately followed by the announcement that
the Public Credit bill was a failure.
The eager demand which bad been originally ex
cited was of such a character as to threaten a drain upon
the specie of Lngland, and put the balance of trade
against that c entry, our bonds being. for all practical
purposes, regarded as so much merchandise to be paid for
with gold. Since the first stages of this demand there has
been at least tkin,eoo.ooo of our bonds sold to esurope. It
requires a very brief tuithmetleal process to Show teat at
the end of the 'year h ogiand would be largely our
specie debtor. The alarm which Llfie state of
I hinge produced is reflected in the meeting Of the B ink of
England direc' ors totake into consideration a proposition
to raise the discount rate to 'a higher figure than three per
cent., to which it was increased a few months ago from
two and a half per cent in consequence of the increasing
activity of morn y produced by the diversion of large
sums to this, among other countries, in furtherance of
cnterptisee which, with the close, .of the w. r and
the proepettive election of General Grant, found
great favor with English capitalists The new furor in fa
vor of our bonds created by the pummels of Gen. Grantend
the growing impression abroad that the. United Statel is
able to and will pay every dollar of its indsbtedmsa, has
alarmed the banking community - again. - Hence the pro
position to increase tbe rate of di-count —a proceeding
which world arrest and keep at home-a large amount of

Navy Department Order*.
WASHINGTON, March 13.—Several interestinz
naval orders were :yesterday issued by Secretary
Boyle, among them the following:
GicarmAr. ORDERS, No. 91.—Before an officer
takes command of a vessel she must be examined
ny a board consisting of three line officers of the
Navy, who shall report any defielences, &c.,that
may exist. No ships will carry more
than twOloat.davits on-each quarter. The boats
may be hung double, but if this cannot be done
they Must be stowed on board. Where the latter
course is impossible, the matter must be brought
to the notice of the Department.
General Order No. 92 prohibits the farther
practice of covering the berth decks of vessels-of
war with shellac.
No. 93 provides that hereaftei the spare of ships
of war will not be painted yellow as heretofore,
and their yards will be painted black. A return
to• the old custom Is ordered.
No. 94 states that all signs that have been put
up in navy-yards indicating the business to
which different departments belong will
be taken down, and simple signs, such
as "Navigation Office," • or "Store," "Ordnance
office or store," "medical office" or "store," "of
fice of docks and yards," &c., will be put up in
their places. These offieea are not branches of
the bureaus, but are departments of the yards,
and are under the entire direction of the com
mandant.
Seduction of the Currency.
[Special Deapateb to the Phila. Evening Ballet:W.l
Nzw Yonu, March 13.—The Commercial Ael ,
vergiser says: The banks have presented about
$2.000,000 in three per cent. certifiCates
for redemption at the Sub-Treasury during
the present month. The internal revenue
receipts recently proved inadequate to
the payments of the Treasury, and the result
has been a reduction of about .5,000,000 in the
currency balanw of the Sub-Treasury since the
Ist instant, ftich placed the balance at
a lower point than has been touched.
in several years. We have no information
as to whether the Secretary of the Treasury,
will adopt any measures for increasing the
currency resources. The decrease in the balance
appears to have arisen from a transfer of a con
siderable amount to the Pension department,and
therefore is more apparent than real. Next
month the Treasury will have 'large receipts
from the collection of the income tax,
and at present, we understand, liberal amounts
are held at the other Stib-Treasuries, so that the
decrease in the New York office may be compen
sated by transfers from other polnti.The Ways and
Means Committee are understood to have re
cently expressed an opinion that it is unneces
sary to keep such lafge staxency balances in the
Treasury as heretofore.
"The Social Evil? ,
rSpecial Despatch to the Phila. Evening Ballet/10
NEW YORK, March 13.—Saperintendeut Ken
nedy to-day made an interesting report to the
Police Commissioners on "the Social Evil,"
showing that, on the 26th of Jannary,there were,
in New York and P t rooklyn, 496 houses of prosti
tution; 107 assignation houses; 33 pretty waiter
girl saloons; 2,107 public prostitutes, and 255
waiter girls.
Exodus of French Carindium.
MONTREAL, March 13.—The exodus of French
Canadians from the South St. Lawrence parishes
to the United States still continues; many fami
lies were going without disposing of their farms.
Efforts are being made on the part of the Do
minion government and `military authorities to
retain a larger number of troops in Canada than
the last official order contemplated.
From Boston.
