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.

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.

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.
