SITCE COLLECTORSHIP OF THE
POSY•
The question of the Collectorship of the
Port of Philadelphia has been solved by the
nomination of Hon. Henry D. Moore, a se
lection from among the several good names
presented to the President which will be
liighly Satisfactory to the entire community.
brief sketch of the new Collector will In
terest our readers.
Henry D. Me 'Re is a native of Goshen,
Orange County, New York, where he was
born in 1817. He received his education in
one of the public schools of New York city,
and began hie business life, at the age of six
teen, as a tailor. While yet quite a young
man, be removed to Philadelphia and,
abandoning his old trade, entered the well
known firm of Eckstein (5.) Co., marble
dealers, as the partner and the son-in-law of
the senior of the house. Here Mr. Moore
soon attracted the notice of the people of his
neighborhood, by his earnest efforts in the
Taylor campaign of 1848,and was taken up by
the Whig party in the old Third Congres
sional District as its representative, and was
elected by a handsome majority of about 750.
In 1850, Mr. Moore was renominated, and
again elected, his majority, in a very close
and doubtful election,being 266. Mr. Moore,
maintained a high position in Congress during
his two terms of service and then resumed
his duties as a private citizen,until the winter
of 1860-'6l, when he was most fortunately
elected Treasurer of the State of Pennsyl
vania. He assumed that office just at the
out-break of the Rebellion,and proved a most
invaluable officer to this Commonwealth.
His high character for personal and mercan
tile integrity, his untiring energy and his en
thusiastic patriotism were all thrown freely
into the scale of the Union, and to his per
sonal influence and exertions, the success of
the Three Million War Loan of 1861 was
chiefly due. Mr. Moore was re-elected State
Treasurer in 1862,and again in 1864,and dur
ing his three terms of service won the highest
commendations of all who were brought in
contact with him, officially,by the suavity of .
his manners, and the promptness and accu
racy of all hie business transactions.
We coneratulate the business community
on President Grant's selection of Henry D.
Moore as Collector of the Port. It is insti
tuting no invidious comparison to say that
no one of his competitors could have more
fully met all the demands of the situation, or
given more general satisfaction. Mr. Collector
Moore, while he has been actively engaged
in politics for the last twenty years,has main
tained the honorable position of an upright
and estimable citizen. lie has illustrated the
possibility of making American politics res
pectable, in a very marked degree; and he
will administer the affairs of the Custom
House with a careful regard for the promo
lion of the business interests of Philadelphia,
while he will not be unmindful of the fact
that he is a Republican, nominated by a Re
publican President and confirmed by a Hi
publican Senate.
Mr. Marks, whose prompt resignation of
the commission which that astute manager,
Senator Cameron, smuggled through the
Senate in the dead hours of the night, has
saved President Grant much embarrassment,
is entitled to a word of consideration. Why
a gentleman of whom all men seem to speak
favorably permitted himself to be used by the
forestalling clique in Washington at all, we
are at loss to imagine. To have been con
nected with that unworthy scheme in any
way, as actor or instrument, is injurious to
any man's credit among respectable and,
honorable men; but Mr. Marks has acted with
such frank recognition of the equivocal
position into which he had been thrust, that
it may well be regarded as entitling him to
an act of unconditional amnesty and pardon.
PARIS, ITS sruzzirs..sm.
Previous to the establishment of the Em
pire, under Napoleon, the streets of Paris
were crooked, narrow, ill paved and exceed
ingly dirty. By direction of that great man,
a general plan of improvement was designed
and introduced, which has since been stead
ily Carried out. Now, wide avenues extend
in every direction, lined with magnificent
structures of all classes, and paved with
either cubical blocks or macadamized.
Within late years a new pavement has been
introduced, and is now the established one,
for all new improvements. Th e street is
made with a first-class Mai:Adam foundation;
over this is laid a bed of mortar cement,
===nl
which receives a layer of dark brown com
position, consisting in part of asphaltum.
Roadways thus constructed are free from
noise, dust and mud. They are also found
to wear better than those formed of any
other-materiali-while-for carriage _use _they_
excel all others.
The streets are thoroughly cleaned every
,pight, the sweeping being done, principally,
by German or Belgian women, of whom
there are about six thousand employed, at an
sverage rate of forty cents per day each. In
Philadelphia, we have seen by late proceed
ings in Councils, that there were only about
forty-eight men engaged in cleaning this
whole city ! Yet the paved street surface of
Paris exceeds that of Philadelphia compara
tively but little. Americas. cities must be
cleaned by machinerylf we desire to emulate
European cities in cleanliness. Ours is a
country of mechanical appliances. They
enter into every department of industry but
street cleaning, yet in none is such aid more
required.
Owing to the domestic habits of the Paris
ians little or no ashes are produced; the fuel
used being either bituminous coal, wood or
gas, the latter more extensively than any
other. The ashes from the former are readily
sold for manufacturing or agricultural pur
poses. During the day no refuse of any kind
is thrown on the streets. At 9 o'clock is the
evening, house sweepings, &c., are thrown
out. At this hour, a new class of people at
tract the eye of the stranger. These are the
"rag pickers," but not the squalid creatures
we see daily at this business. The Paris rag
pickers are peculiar to that city. They are
neat, and, to a certain extent, cleanly in their
appearance. Their polite address, not only
to strangers, but among themselves, is re
markable. Each (both sexes are represented)
carries a large basket on the back, with the
mouth open and extending above the line of
the head: a stick, armed with a prong and
hook, in one hand, and a lantern in the other.
Thus equipped, they. proceed adroitly and
rapidly to select and lift the desired articles
from the street into the basket. The mate
rial collected is afterwards assorted and sold.
The street sweepers advance with their
work in a rapid and well ordered manner,
sweeping the entire street tram curb to curb,
into heaps along the centre of the street.
These women are under the direct supervi
sion of the police. The right to the sweet/
ings is sold by the authorities at auction every
three or six months. The parties who con
tract for the sweeping must have wagons
of the proper construction on hand to remove
the dirt as fast as it is swept up. Generally
each heap is lifted as fast as made. If the
wagons are not on hand, others are imme
diately hired at the purchaser's expense.
Most families and persons in Parii live in
apartments consisting of one or more cham
bers, furnished according to their taste or
means. Each building has a porter and
porteress. The porter furnishes meals ready
prepared at a regular tariff of prices. The
porteress takes charge of the cleansing of the
chambers. Each suit of rooms has a closes
attached, in which are placed two vessels for
the reception of night soil. These vessels
are the perquisites of the porter, who sells the
contents. The contractor keeps them in
order, and makes the necessary changes,
more or less frequently, according to tht
number of persons using them. The closets
at all times contain deodorizing matter, so
that there is no offensive smell in the
building.
The sewerage of Paris is extensive and
complete. These vast underground canals
have galleries on both sides of their entire
length. No insoluble matter is allowed to
pass into the sewers. Opposite every three
or tour buildings is placed, beneath the side
walk, an "Interceptor" or iron tank. This
interceptor has a perforated bottom. The
house drainage, in its way to the sewer,
passes through these interceptors—the in
soluble matter being retained therein, from
whence it is removed, sooner or later as may
be necessary, by men whose especial duty it
is to attend to a certain number of them.
Extending along the sewer galleries are small
railways, upon which run water-tight car
riages to receive the contents of these inter
ceptors. The contents of these tanks are
sold by the authorities—the purchaser clean
ing them, a large price being received for the
same.
A superior system of Intercepting tanks
and Portable Water-Closets, designed to au
percede the offensive and filthy system of
privy -wells, as well as to prevent the pollu
tion of our public sewers, has been patented
by one of our citizens. These tanks and the
plans of their application have been sub
mitted to several of our leading citizens;
among others to Strickland Kneass, Esq.,
Chief Engineer of this city—a gentleman
every way qualified to give a practical consid
eration to all matters appertaining to the san
itary inprovements of our city. He has pro
nounced the plan well-adapted to Philadel
phia, andhopes it will be practically tested.
He thinks that its general introduction and
use, if successful, would largely promote the
health and cleanliness of the city, and at the
same time save thousands of dollars' worth
of the most valuable fertilizer known.
The water for domestic purposes in - Paris
is bad and the supply defective. The uni
versal washing and scouring of floors, win
dows, yards and sidewalks that attract so
much attention in Philadelphia are, to a great
extent, unknown in that oity. The house
floors, constructed of oak or some other
equally hard wood, are thoroughly waxed,
in most cases daily. Small steam fire engines
perambulate the streets, the owners of which,
for a small consideration, wash the windows
and entire house front.
The bill to allow parties in interest in suits
before the courts of Pennsylvania to be wit
nesses in the same was passed yesterday • in
the State Senate by the handsome vote of 24
yeas to 8 nays. It now goes to the House of
Representatives, where it is to be hoped that
it will also be adopted without delay. This
reform in our legal practice has been long
needed, and it is only opposed by a few old
fogies of a class that have resisted improve
ments and reforms of every kind,simply from
a kind of sentimental conservatism, in which
there is no reason. In France, England, and
nearly all the countries of Europe, par
ties to suits are allowed to testify, and the

41. conscription ordered by the Spanish Gov
ernment is creating great excitementthrough
-out the country, and in-Andalusia-there_ has
been Open resistance to it; and' in the con
filets of the people with the troops, a number
of men have been killed and;wounded: These
facts are interesting in their bearing on the
Cuban question. 6. number.of the 'best Span
ish regiments have been sent lately,to Cuba
to put down the revolutionary movement,
and more troops are needed for the purpose.
To obtain these and retain a sufficient army
at home the conscription is required. If it
should fail, or lead to a general resistance,
there can be no more reinforieinente sent to
Cuba, and the Repnblicand there, if they per
severe as they have done, will be sure to
succeed.
Although President Grant's inaugural speech
was very short, none of the English papers
had the enterprise to have it telegraphed in
full. Reuter furnished the London press
with a copy that was shamefully mutilated.
Not less than thirty lines, in that part relating
to the national debt, were entirely omitted.
Nearly all the other parts were but partially
or imperfectly reported. The consequence
is that the address, as printed in London on
the sth of March, appears only about half as
long as it really was, and some passages were
made obscure and unsatisfactory by the mu
tilations.

THE LIVELY THERMOMETER,
What ails that old thermometer?
Pray tell me, if you know ;
So wondrous high the thing doth j amp,
And falls again so low •1
To-day, 'tis up to fifty-six.
To-morrow, 'tis down to freezing,
And then It down near 'zero goes,
And the people with colds are sneezing
It says at sunrise, twenty-five,
And I wrap my coat around me ;
By noon It goes to sixty-four
Its rapid jumps confound me.
Again, it starts at sixty-two,
But, Eastern winds prevailing,
The mercury travels down again
With snowing and with hailing
The curious thermometer
Confuses me, altogether;
But one thing certainly well I know;—
Whether the mercury's high or low,
Whether the sun is shining, or no,
In days of rain, or in days of snow,
Whether the March winds howl and blow,
All I have to do, is to go
To Rockhill & Wilson's store, and, 10!
They have clothes for all sorts of weather !
Let the thermometer gb up to boiling, or down
o zero, and we twill be ready to clothe the public
or every degree of heat or cold, cheap for cash.

[Special Despatch to the MI.. Event/18 Bulletin.)
WAPIIINGTON, March 18.—The repeal of the
Tenure-of-Office law, and President Grant's
course in relation thereto, are the solo subjects
of conversation here. The President's position,
that the spirit of the law will not allow him to
make removals except he has grounds upon
which to base formal charges, has brought 'a
powerful and unanimous pressure from the
steadily accumulating army of office-seekers in
favor of repeal, and cash day's continuance of the
present masterly inactivity about appointments
has intensified this pressure. The debate in the
Senate, which has been able and sometimes
acrimonious, has attracted unusual attention,and
the crowd in the galleries has increased daily.
The President% come with Senators is said to
have uniformly been, when applied to by them
for appointments, to answer in sub
stance that be was waiting to see
them do something for him by repealing the
law which stood In his way. It is also said that
he has told a number of persons that he wanted
to see who his friends were in this matter and
should' govern his actions accordingly. Much
interest is displayed this morning in the result of
the vote, which It is thought will be close,though
a number of Senators have not publicly declared
themselves.
Your correspondent has endeavored to verity
some of the reports about Gsneral Grant's talk
on thissubject, and has concluded that generally
they must be taken with much allowance. Some
Senators say be has told them he abould not be
offended at any Senator acting according to his
conscientious convictions. There are a number
yet to speak, and It is uncertain whether the vote
will be taken to-day.

for cash The banks were quite as
liberal as their reserves would allow them to be but the
new law abolishing the quarterly statements, and substi
tuting; five others at the option of the Comptroller, is hay
irg the effect upon the banks which wo antioipated. In
expectation of a possible statement on the let of April
they are crmtracting their loans, and a e therefore loss
accommodating to the public. Thls movement is also
rendered - necessary Mt a preparation for quarter day,
when large deposits are generally withdrawn from the
bonke to meet usual country and other payments. This
is the came of the activity which has characterized the
outside market during the current events, and of the con
sequent hardening of the rates for a certain class of
loans.
Tbo market rates for money are quite firm, but without
quotable change. Call loans are quoted at 4@7 per cent.
on Government bonds and at 7(48 per cent on mixed se
curities. The discount houses and bill brokers are
doing a heavy buainess at figures ranging from 13@l0 per
cent. for strictly ant-class bueiness paper
The bond market was quiet, and prices steady. Gold
opened weak, and declined is 11l at 12 M. to.day, State
Loans were inactive. City Loans , new issue, sold at 101.

About twenty minutes of twelve o'clock, last
night, a man named Thomas Bell was assaulted at
Frankford road and Laurel streets, near Cohock •

first robbed him of about $2OO, and when he re
rioted, they drew knives and assuated him,lnflict
ing a severe wound in the hand. Not satisfied
with this, the ruffians caught held
of Mr. Bell and threw him over the
bridge into the creek, when his cries for help at
tracted the attention of Mr. David Über, Engi

paired to the spot, and by means of a rope res

Persistent Ittisstittetitents.
The N. Y. Tribune. in an - editorial upon the
misstatements bf the Philadelphia correspondent
of the London Times in regard to the question of
repudiation, has the following:
The Philadelphia writer has persistently en
deavored to represent the repudiation party as
triumphant, es the following extract from a let
ter in the Daily News may serve to show:
"About four months ago this oracle began to
put forth important, and to bondholders, OW
alarming, prophecies concerning the future of
American finance. In October it foresaw that
same kind of repudiation was inevitable. In
November the elections took place, the result be
ing favorable to the Republicans, who had gone
before the people with a platform plainly de
nouncing every scheme of repudiation Bat as the
returns reached. Philadelphia they were held by
the correspondent of the Times in that city to
Indicate the , triumph of repudiation. A letter
from him appeared in the Titres of November 25.
chiefly devoted to the financial aspects of the
election, in which it was shown that the new
House:'of Representatives .would contain 145 re
pudiators against 82 advocates of an honest pay
ment of the public debt in cola. It was admitted
that the Senate leaned the other way, and so It
was maintained that the result mast he a com
promise, by which- the debt would be paid in
coin, but with an arbitrary reduction of in tere4t.
"Seriously, Sir,lt would seem, so tar as the
man in Philadelphia is coo corned, that he has be
come so interested In the veritication of his own
November previelons that hu has been unable to
entertain any facts or results conflicting with
them. And, so far as the Anna] is concerned, I
can only attribute ice pertinacious statement,
that American repudiatima is an aceout-
plished fact. to a rare,ebiralry toward
its eorrespinident. -An ordinary cold=
hearted journal might, at least, on receipt of
the second Reuter tetegram,baye put the other in
its waste basket; and simply sent its correspon
dent Mr. Biglow's advice, 'Don't never prophesy,
—onless ye know' But the Titles intrepidly ac
cepts and repeats the statement ot Rs valorous
Philadelphian, despite plain confirmations of the
—con trary,--and-deeltnes. to -sacrifice the - reputation
of its collaborators for cleverness to a miserable
EVE- WHEITY. 7 !
If the Philadelphian follows _the traditions of
the journal which pays him for weekly libels on
his country, be will attempt no defence for hint-:'
self, no matter how damaging the charge or hair
overwhelming the evidence. But if he cares to
relieve himself from the odium of falsifying facts
of the last importance, he will:do welli - to'exotain - , -
so far as be can, the nfisropr,esentation for which
ho is made the authority. '

It will be recollected - that - President Grant;lin
