Correspondence et the Phil:Weights Event= Bolietial Peals, Tuesday, March 2d, 1869.—This has, in deed, been a period remarkable for the number of deaths Which have occurred among celebrated personages. In addition to all similar events which I have lately chronicled, and which in cluded so recently the illustrious trilogy of Ber ryes., Rothschild and Rossini, I have now to no tice two more: the one, eminent at least for place and position and for that essential quality of "devotion" which is so highly prized under the Second Empire; the other, for a thousand qualities which adorn the man and the patriot, and compel his fellow-citizens to love and lament him and to overlook many weak nesses and many faults of character. Yesterday, nearly about the same time, died Troplong,"Pres !dent of the Senate. Member of the Privy Conn ell and That President of the Court: of Cassatlon," all offices of the first rank and highly remunera tive; and Lamartine, ex-poet, ox-statesman, ex politician, ex-member of the Provisional. Gov ernment of 1849, In fact, ex-everything, and left to die in a corner, In debt and almost forgotten. What a contrast in the career and end of these two , men! The one, so utterly common-place, time-serving, te dious, pompons and servile; the other, so frill of fire, genius, poetry, generosity and patriotism— of every flue quality, in short, except perhaps prudence and common sense. Yet the former dies full of riches, full of honor and adulation; the latter full only of poverty and oblivion! Bic transit gloria mundi! Such the world and its sucetss! The Journal Officiel announces the death of M. Troplong as that of "one of the most devoted servants of the Emperor." And in the Corps Legisbait, the President spoke of the same event, and lamented the death of one who "had assisted in so remarkable a manner to found and de velop existing institutions." The death of Ls marline might have passed unnoticed of ficially, had not M. Eugene Pelleum, the liberal member for Paris, risen and said with much dig nity: "Lamartine, too, is dead. Be was in power at an epoque very different from the'present, and seems to me, to deserve, on that very account, a teetimony of sympathy and respect, not only from the Chamber, but the country at large." And to this chaste and modest enlogium, M. Glate-Bizoin, another liberal member, who sat beside M. Pelletan, added only the words: "He was a great citizen !" But I must not dwell longer on these two inci dents, on which a great deal more might be said, but which I doubt not your readers will appre ciate as they deserve. I rightly anticipated in my rist letter the effect which would be produced on the Chamber by the speeches of M. 'Thiers and others upon the enancial affairs of the city of Paris and the irre gulir proceedings of the Prefect.' The expiiaiire was such that the Government felt it could no longer rely upon the votes even of the majority, if it persisted in defending all the acts of its func tionary. It determined, therefore, to beat a re treat in time; and accordingly M. Reuher, the Minister of State, made a speech, in which, al tbouch he said a great deal about the "magni ficence" of Paris, he acknowledged that there had been both an "excess" of expenditure and "irre gularities" in the mode of raising money. He pledged the Government that these should not occur again; and moreover, and precisely as I anticipated in my last, proposed a loan to cover the whole amount of the debt which had been illegally incurred by the Prefect. This is exactly what M. Thiers and the opposition contended ought to have been done at first, and the proposition of the government is therefore a complete triumph of the policy of the latter, and should convince the country of the justice of their views and the necessity of supporting them. The loan authorised is only for 165 millions, that being the amount for which the Prefect has illegally made the city liable to the Credit Fonder. But although the precise ars ount of the liabilities still outstanding cannot even yet be got at, so complicated are "the city accounts and so much is there kept in the back-ground and out of eight, yet no one believes that the above sum will anything like cover them. The impression, indeed, is that it would take one thousand millions, instead of four hundred and sixty-five, to do this, and that if to the two thousand millions already expended upon the "transformation of Paris" we were to add another milliard, we should by no means be over-rating what that imperial operation has cost. No doubt all this is tree beau, but then as M.Thiers said, and as the residents are daily made to feel, it is also tree cher! The affairs of Spain aro beginning to resume their interest after a long interval of lassitude, under the supposition that the present provi sional government cannot be long maintained, and that a solution is about to be attempted. I cannot profess to speak with certainty or con fidence upon a subject of such doubtful issue; but of this I can assure you, without any fear of contradiction, viz.: That the Government and Court circle here are in a terrible quan dary, and that the Orleanist party are in a state of high exultation. The latter, in fact, openly profess to believe that . their candidate for the vacant throne of Spain is almost sure of suc cess. Within a month, they affirm, the Duke de Illontpensier will be elected Sing; and if against this presumption you allege the recent declara tions of Prim in the Cortes, and the " jansais, ja mais, jamais," which be prononneed against the dynasty of Isabella, and which has beoome al most as famous as that of M. Rouher against the King of Italy as regards the pos session of Rome—the reply is that Prim's words applied -only to the "Immediately reigning" family of Spain; and that the complete change of "principles" involved in the "election" by the "national will" of a Prince of the House of Or leans to bo the new sovereign, amounts not only to a real change of dynasty, but even to some thing more. The same parties assert, too, that the provisional government, which has just been re-established, and the Constituent Assembly, now perfectly understand each other, and have come to an agreement by whlch,when the Duke de Montponsier Is proposed, he will be elected by a largo majority of that body. These are the views seriously entertained hero in Paria•by leading Or leamsts, who aro in constant comnintaleation with the Princes of that family; and I may add that they are known to and shared by dot , a few Amerlcans,frlends of the Prince de 4olnville and his brothers, who have always shown a marked deference to American opinion and • Influence. The authorities here are very uneasy at this pros , pect, and the more 130 because they'are well PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, 'MARCH 16, 1869. aware that the beset move mule openly on their part to thwart such a conclusion would only make the Spaniel/ people , more determined and eager to carry it out. An Anglian Opinion of an American torievance. The Pall Mall Gazelle says: We have urged the people of the. United States to ask themselves honestly what it is that their grievance against England comes to. It is fair that we sliould be plain-spoken in our turn,, and say, in so many words, that the feeling of a great many persons in this condtry during glower. Was not friendly to the Federal Government. These persons thought that the Southern - StateS were acting within their Sovereign right in seceding, that the white population was really maintaining the cause of constitutional liberty, and that, hateful as slavery was, the condition, of the negroes would ultimately be bettered by the success of their masters.. Those who thought thus had.po opportunity of acting on their con victions', and consequently 'the fact of their hold ing them was. not one Which can reasonably give offence to a foreign Government. But if they wanted to justify their opinions, could they do better than refer to a ille of any Democratienews papers published during the recent electoral cam paign? That the pellcy of the Republican party'has teen destructive of liberty, and ran very near to provoking a War of extermination against the blacks; has been said again and again during the last Dine,montbs by journals which express the feelings of a powerful and growing minority of the Northern people. What the latter see now the English sympathizers with the South claim to have foreseeir six years ago. Why does not the American people settle with the Democratic party within its - own borders before it quarrels with Englishmen for maintaining the same' pro mises with amore consistent conclusion? OBIME lIICIDES IN CAJLIFORNI Death ot Two AiralT placer.. The San Francisco correspondent of the N. Y. Times, writing under date of Feb. 23d, says : Lieutenant John P. Small, of the regular army, committed suicide at his boarding-house, near the corner of Second and Mission streets yester day. He had not been seen about the house for. some time, and his friends; becotning alarmed, broke into his room and found his body in bed, dressed in full uniform, and completely covered by the clothing of the bed. On a stand near the head of the couch was a large vial which had contained chloroform. He left several letters, which were found on the stand, and their con tents proved that he deliberately committed sui cide. The one to his brother was exceedingly singular, and reads as follows: "SAN Fruncreco, Feb. 19, 1869.=-M - y Dear Brother : I cannot endure life longer. Go to the Fort and get everything there that belongs to nie. Should any one ever speak of me in your presence in terms that reflect upon my honor as %gentleman, or my integrity as a man, shoot him on the spot. Good-bye, dear brother; live snd be happy, if possible, and when you die, die game. "Your brother, Joaw." A part of the counterpane had been saturated with chloroform; he had also covered his face with it. and thus passed off into the sleep of death. He had plenty of means and held an hot:t o:able position, and no reason is known why he should have destroyed has own life. ANOTIXES SUICIDE. Coroner Letterman„ received notice, about four o'clock yesterday afternoon, that a man occupy ing rooms at the northeast corner of Montgomery and Bush streets, had committed suicide. On entering the mom the Coroner found the body of Lieutenant-Colonel John G. Scott lying on his bed, with both wrists cut on both sides, com pletely severing the arteries, the blood from which had flowed into a washing bowl at one side and in the water pitcher on the other. Everything went to show that after cutting his wrists, he must have held them over the two ves sels until life became almost extinct, and it must have required wonderful coolness, consid ering his terrible position. An empty bottle, marked laudanum and poison, and half a bottle of chloroform, were found in the room but there was no evidence that he had taken poison. He formerly lived at Cincinnati, and at the com mencement of the rebellion, he enlisted as a vol unteer, and, by good conduct and military skill. succeeded in raising himself to the rank of Lien tenant-Colonel, and for a long time was a mem ber of General Hooker's staff. He was highly connected, and leaves an interesting wife and child. His wife is a niece of Chief Justice Chase. Ever since he has been in California he has been connected with the Custom-house. ILBGENDIARISOI art VLEVELSND. Attempt to Barn a Church The Cleveland Leader of yesterday says: On Saturday evening a most villainous deed was committed, nothing less than an attempt to burn Grace Church, situated on the corner of Erie and Prospect streets. The plan was hap pily frustrated, thanks to the prompt and efficient action of the fire department, but the crime, nevertheless, loses none of its heinousness. The usual Saturday afternoon service was held at half past four o'clock, the rector, Rev. A. H. Wash burn, officiating., The congregation dispersed about half-past lite. In less than half an hour .fterward, some persons passing in the street ob served smoke issuing from different parts of the building, and Chief Engineer Hill was immedi ately informed of the fact. The fire, meanwhile, was making rapid progress, and by this time smoke was vowing out of the windows adjacent to the room In which the fire originated and is cuing from every crevice in the building. A very large crowd quickly gathered, and there was the usual excitement prevalent upon such oec.asions. After much labor and endurance the firemen succeeded in cutting away portions of the wood work, enabling them to turn their hose directly upon the fire, and it was finally subdued. It the fire had occurred at night, when in all proba kility it would not have been discovered until in emote advanced stage, nothing could have saved 'he church from total destruction. The loss by fire will probably not exceed two or three hundred dollars, although the whole in terior of the church, the furniture, etc., were much soiled and begrimed by the smoke. It is feared that the organ is also seriously damaged from the same cause, but the extent of this has notyet been ascertained. The building is insured for $15,000 and the organ for $3.000. There is no doubt that the fire was the work of an incen diary. The Successor of Jr. Boutwell. (From the Springfield Republican of March 12.1 We trust that Governor Cleftlin will not enter tain the idea of taking Mr. Boutwell's place in Congress, as some of his friends, and more of Dr. Loring's, are urging him to do. He is a good Governor, and we want him in that place for some years to come—a place which is more dignified and important, too, (ban that of Representative in Congress. There will be time for that hereafter; but for the present we must keep our good Governor, and let some one else go to Congress from Middlesex. It is worth mentioning, by the way, that our two Massachusetts Cabinet officers are from the same district—"My own Middlesex," as Mr. Everett used to say. —A Wisconsin shoemaker has orders for a pair of shoes No. 1654.

FORTINSIIIST auNoisE,ss—First sap. Mr. Trumbull briefly reviewed the practice and legislation in regard to appointments to and re move's from office in the past, and said that while the Judiciary Committee were satisfied that the present administration ought to be relieved from the embarrassment caused by the tenure of office act, yet they thought that a regard for con sistency, and for the principles underlying the bill required that it thuuld not be abolished, bat only suspended. . • Mr. Thurman said that in the Judiciary Com mittee he had not voted to amend in any way the bill of the House to repeal the act, because he believed that it ought to be repealed. Either the Constitution vested in the President an un limited and unqualified power of removal from office, or it made the concurrence of the Senate necessary._ flouze—Continued from Third Edition. He a:plait:led that •the object of his amend ment waslo prevent the possibility of a job. Mr. Kelly expifta , ..ed himself in favor of making a general law effbracing the same principle, but was opposed to adopting an amendment to this bill which would embarass the Director of the Mint in carrying out the law. Mr. Judd sustained both the amendment and the bill Mr. Butler, In reply to a question from Mr. Jenekes, entered into a farther explanation of the object of his amendment, and said that now the man who furnished nickel copper to the Mint was a Pennsylvanian, and therefore got the preference. Re did not wish his friend, the Di rector of the Mint, to be led into temptation. All he desired was that in the immense purchase, amounting to a million of dollars, there should be an advertisement, which is needed. Mr. Dickey asked Mr. Butler whether there was any particular harm in a Pennsylvanian rather than en Englishman having the preference. Mr. Kelley remarked that the nickel establish ment to which Mr. Butler referred to, was in New Jersey, not in Pennsylvania. Mr. Butler. replying first to Mr. Kelley, said that the mine was in Lancaster county, Pennsyl vania', and the smelting establishment was in Camden, Now Jersey. In reply to Mr. Dickey, he said there is not any harm in a Pennsylva nian having an advantage over an Englishman, unless you tax the people to pay higher for that advantage. Then there is harm in it, and that I stand by everywhere. Mr. Maynard argued against the provision abolishing ten cent paper currency. Mr. Wood sustained the amment offered by Mr. Butler, remarking that WO was the proper principle, and might in this case save hundreds of thousands of dollars. Mr. Dawes, a member of the Committee on Coinage, moved that the bill and amendments bo recommitted to that Committee, remarking that he was flatlet:Wait had not been properly con sidered. That motion was agreed to, and the bill end amendments were agreed to. Mr Beaman introduced bills dividing the State and Territory of Texas into several States and Territories.

Notwithstanding all that has been published in the papers, setting , forth that the President receives no applications in person, hundreds of both sexes, who do not seem to read the newspapers, throng the White House eeerymorning, to present their applications to the President in person. When the doors are opened the crowd flocks in, elbowing each other, and squeezing to get in first. The President stands at the head of the long table In his office. The anxious expeetants alter they enter the room, form In single file and approach the little man with palpitating hearts and trembling accents. He shows no feeling, and seems to receive each one mechanically as it were. A hurried glance, a brief word, and "the next one" is beckoned forward. If the preceding one happens to halt too long, and draw from his pockets a formidable looking envelope, the Pres ident gives an ominous shake of the head. briefly saying, "take, It to. Gem Dent," and the anxious seeker feels that he has last an hour or two for nothing, for he might just as well have given the papers to Gen. Dent in the firstinstance, without waiting to make the circumbendslus around the big table in the President's office. But such is human nature. Not one in a thousand would be satis fied without seeing the President, and speaking to him personally, if it were only two or three words. It's no use talking therefore. They will see the President, and no one can stop them so long as he opens his doors wide to receive them. .The applications, for office presented at the White House are frwarded to the different De partmente; to be examined and reported upon, which causes more delay to the anxious seekers af4er plait than their presentation to the head of-the Department to which the appointment legitimately belongs. A urrca Itf TnurPROGILUMUIL There is good reason for stating that the Press- . dent will not make any changes or removals from office 'while the Tenure-of Office law remains upon the statute books. In his inaugural he dis tinctly stated that the "beet method to secure the repeal of a bad or obnoxious law, was to execute it strictly," and ho hat evidently determined to • xecute the Tenure-of-Office law rigidly, by keep ing in office every man against whom no charges have been made, unless Congress repeals the act. Vacancies will be filled, but no remavals made, no matter how strong the pressure. This will be the policy of the administration, for the present, and it is positively asserted that Cabinet officers have received instructions to that effect; namely, to mate no nominations to fill vacancies, but recommend no removals until the obnoxious law has been repealed. This has caused a great fluttering among the candidates for foreign missions, consulships, revenue appointments, and the'thousand and one other offices sought by anxious expectants, and they are using the most determined efforts with the Senators to effect a repeal of the law. Said a Cabinet officer, on Saturday, to a gentleman who is a candidate for a lucrative office in Phiadelphia " i shall recommend you to be appointed to the place;.but I tell you frankly that the President will make no removals till the Tenure-of Office law Is repealed, and it would be no use for me to send your name for ward, for he would not send it to the Senate." This is the whole case in a nut-shell, and It re mains to be seen which side will yield fret. Sena tor Trunibull,from the Judiciary Committee, to day reported a bill providing for suspend ing the provisions of the Tenure bill during the present session. of the Forty-first Congress, which shows clearly that the advocates of retaining the law are becoming weaker, and if the pressure upon the Senators is kept up a few days longer, the fate of the law is sealed. As soon as this obstacle is out of the way, hundreds of nominations, which have already been passed upon in the several Departments, will be sent to the Senate without delay, and the work of regen erating the public service will go forward in earnest. Nearly everybody, except Senators, thinks the law ought to be repealed, and as soon as the public sentiment has time to be heard, and lie influence felt, there seems to be little doubt that even the Senate will gracefully yield to it.. RESIGNATION OF OOLLECTOU MEANIE. James N. Marks, Esq., Collector of the Port of, Philadelphia, came down this morning, and this afternoon tendered his resignation to President Grant. This was done to. avoid imputations of. unfairness in the manner of Mr. Marks's confir mation, and to prove that he is willing to sur render his commission to Grant, and probably take his chances among the other candidates seeking the position under the present adminis tration. President Grant will now be left free to choose from the many excellent candidates pre sented to his notice; and if he should select some other man, Mr. Marks will be satisfied. The candidates for Collector are numerous. Hon. Charles O'Neill Is favorable to Henry C. Howell. Judge Kelley favors Henry D. Moore, and besides these, John E. Addlcks, Este, Presi dent of the National Union Club of Philadelphia, and Hon. John 1". Verna% nth understood to be candidates for the position. As there is now a vacancy, it Is probable the place will be filled very soon.

Fanny Janausehek began an engage---' ment at the Academy of Music last evening in, Mary Stuart. The drama presented, was a very..., judicious abridgement of Behiller's noble poem. Much of the sweet poetry,. the vivid imagery, arid , ' all of the more intense dramatle situations. era, retained; and, despite that slow progress oP..thir: dialogue which in the original contrittutes;tatbo-' interest of the poem, but in a degree makes itt tedious upon the stage, the drama is veryy_ enter-, raining when It is prayed bygood artists. Mlle. Janauschek's personation of "Mary" is good; but It is not at all remarkable.. Ristori with her-s superior Intensity—with that force which ts,born of gentile, entirely surpassed the ' German.' actress throughout, whether in the lytitutageit which give play to the- gentier,, emotions,• on in, those episodes where the smothered passions : of the cruelly wronged woman burst forth in tern pests of rage and indignation. Even Mrs. Lau der gavea better impersonation than daususchek, in some parts; but these two artists are more nearly equal than are the 4allan and.tbe Gemara If there is any one describable difference between Jananschek and Mre. Lander, it is. that the latter has a preponderance of fine intellectuality, the: German artist having more physical, force, but, being grosser. and failing sometimes to catch the, delicate spirit of a the finer passages. Wo have criticized this! performance In de tail upon a former occasion, and as there is no. perceptible change in Mlle. Jananschek's imper sonation, it wiLlinot-be necessary to repeat the. task. But if instances of the superiority.. of, Elston are needed,we could point to,her interview , with Elizabeth in Fotheringay par4her baautir-, ful invocation to the clouds, from thasante: place, and the death scene, as unequalled by any actress who ever appeared, in the part.
