EVENING BULLETIN.
Wednesday, March 24, 1569.
DOLT WEEK AND AFTER.
The fashionably devout and devoutly fash
ionable portion of the Philadelphia public is
approaching the end of that annual period of
fasting which, in obedience, to the tenets of
a religion that is all humility and self denial,
they are in the habit of observing very
solemnly. Holy Week' has arrived, and as
the end of the six weeks of severe fasting
approaches, there is a natural and general
stir among the fashionable fasters in refer
ence to the festivities of the coming Easter
week. There are cards out already for many
entertainments appropriate to a season o
religious solemnity. Among these are
weddings, balls, parties, dinners, suppers,
musical soirees and matinees, breakfasts and
lunches. Preparations for amateur theatri
cals have also occupied the minds of many of
the very faithful, and as there is a promise
also of a short season of Italian opera, there
bi a reasonable expectation that the fashion
able religious celebration of the auspicious
;season will be gay and jolly.
The Lenten season has been hugely en
poyed by the creatures that are so often and
so ruthlessly sacrificed to the appetites of
man and woman. Many a turkey lives and
grows fat to-day that might have been boned
and eaten but for the interposition of Lent.
The Christian solemnity that has prolonged
its life is duly appreciated by the toothsome
bird, although it must look forward with
something of dread, mingled with something
of the martyr's sublime faith, to the ap
proaching sacrifice of thousands of its race in
honor of Baster. The terrapins, too, have
had a real enjoyment of Lent. But they have
an instinctive knowledge of this land where
the cypress and myrtle"are emblems of a time
of faNpg • preceding a time of indulgence.
They knG, that after Lent, fashionable hun
ger is Hite "the "age of the vulture," and that
it shows itself in a very extraordinary "love
of the turtle." So the terrapinerae,creatures
of the turtle kie4are beginning to resign
themselves to the rate that awaits all dainty
viands at the time when prolonged fasting has
whetted the pious appetite, and Made , a gen
teel and elegant relish assume almost the
appearance of the rake of the greedy vulture.
There will be thousands of terrapins boiled to
death and eaten next week in Philadelphia,
by way of appropriate observance of Easter.
One feature of the season of Lent now
drawing to a close is that there nave been
very few devotions, or entertainments, or
solemnities, or suppers, the pecuniary cost or
which has been made public. The self
denial that has spared the lives of turkeys and
terrapins, has prevented the consumption also
of hundreds of cases of wine, to say nothing
of scores of other good things that are neces
sary to appease a genteel thirst or hunger in
all seasons except Lent. So there have been
no reports to make of hundreds or thousands
of dollars spent on any of the Lenten solem
nities. Not a florist, or a caterer, or a wine
dealer has thought it necessary to reveal the
fact that Mrs. Shoddy's supper or Mr. Green
back's dinner in Lent only cost fifty or a hun
dred dollars. The insignificance of the ex
pense of the Lenten entertainments has saved
them from being advertised to the
world at large. After this week
all this is to be changed. It is,
indeed, already pretty well announced that
Mrs. Dash's party is going to cost so much,
Mr. Splash's dinner so much,and Miss Flash's
trousseau th astounding sum of ever so
much. The'beau monde has arrived at that
degree of knowledge which enables it to
judge of a young couple's chance of happi
ness by the cost of the wedding and the value
of the presents; also, to judge of a man's or
woman's intellectual, moral and social posi
tion by the cost of the entertainments they
give or the finery they wear. Provincial as
we are, we are still behind New York in this
business; for there these things are regularly
advertised or reported by professional Jen
kinees in certain newspapers, which probably
obtain quite a handsome revenue in this way.
Thus far this paper, at least, has received no
proposals for advertising the cost of fash
ionable festivities, Philadelphia being, in this
one respect, decidedly behind the "me
tropolis."
But, after all, our givers of festivals know
how to spend money on them, and the more
costly the entertainment, the better the card
for a position in society or for a good match
for a young daughter. There have been oc -
casions where the money to pay the bills for
the feast was borrowed. One case is reported
where id was borrowed by the host from h:s
own man-servant, whose little hoard for a
rainy day was never more seen ; the invest
ment was a permanent one. The lender, out
of place and out of funde,enlisted and died in
the army of the Republic,while the borrower,
or stealer, lives and flourishes, with no appa
rent trouble even of conscience, and with a
foolish fancy that he is a gentleman, because
he has been able to give, on stolen money,
a costly ball, and thus present a conspicuous
claim to a position in society of some sort of
fashion.
However, special illustrations are not
'seeded on the topic of this article. Every
reader has made his or her own observations,
and has seen numerous proofs that the ten
dency of nppertendom is to extravagant out
jay and display as the chief means of acquir
ing a place in the supposed patrician rank.
Brains, refinement, culture and modesty are
superfluities in the circle in which the grand
contest for the championship of the heavy
Peedera is going on. It is in this circle that
ffiEMM:=
the bulk of tbe money given to hospitalities is
spent in Philadelphia. Lent .bas Interrupted
the stingele. ~But next week, in commemo
ration of a most solemn event, it is expected
to be' renewed With vigor. •
FACILITIES OF TRAVEL.
In commenting redently upon the want of
a change of tbe present traveling arrange
ment betweee_Philadelphia and New York
and Washington, we suggested that legisla
tion, was unnecessary upon the subject, as
the railroad companies would, of themselves,
reform any system which was really incon
venient or unjust in its application to this
city. That we we re right in our esti
mate of the attitude of these corporations is
demonstrated by the announcement tha
orders have already been issued for a
total correction of the evil complained
of, at least so far as the travel
to and from , Washington is concerned, and
this will be followed, In reference to the com
munications with New York. Tickets will
be sold hereafter to snd from these points, an
extra car will be put on the through night
trains for Philadelphia passengers, and ar
rangements will be made, at once, at West
Philadelphia for the reception of passengers
and baggage by these trains. The commu
nity, at large, is indebted to the railroad com
panies for this prompt acquiescence in what
was, undoubtedly, a fair and proper demand.
Will not these great railroad companies
now unite in giving us what Philadelphia and
the railroads both ought to have,—a grand
combined depot? There is a magnificent
opportunity to erect such a building in West
Philadelphia as would be a source of great
pride to our citizens at large, and of great
convenience to the railroads and to the travel
ing public. The Pennsylvania Central, the
New York, the Baltimore, the Reading aqd
the West Chester roads can all converge
easily, at West Philadelphia, and with a posi
tive economy to all the roads. It is not
necessary to press the suggestion upon the
several companies, because, with the good
feeling which is understood to exist among
them, it is almost certain to work itself into
practical shape,without any outside pressure.
Meantime can there not be a temporary
arrangement at West Philadelphia, to ac
commodate passengers by the through night
lines ? At the point where the engines are
now changed, there is a platform for trans
ferring the mails, &c. Cannot this platform
be extended south and covered in, so that
passengers can reach Market street, without
exposure? Tracks that have to be crossed, if
there are any, might be bridged, and thus, at
a very small expense, good temporary pro
vision might be made for the Philadelphia
passengers. But, for a permanent arrange
ment,we ought to have a grand Union Depot,
ornamental to the city, creditable to these
great corporations, and comforMble to that
constantly inereasing class, the traveling
public of America.
JUDGE TA AYER
We congratulate the people of Philadelphia
upon the settlement of the contest between
Judge Thayer and Mr. Greenbank, not only
because it restores to the bench one of its
ablest members, but because it is another
grand step toward the total overthrow of the
gigantic fraud which the Democratic leaders
perpetrated in this city at the last general
election. Mr. 11 irst gracefully retired from
the contest with Judge Rare; Mr. Myers has
produced a mass of proef in demonstration
of his rights to the representation of the
Third Congressional District, and now the
glaring frauds that placed Mr. Greenbank
upon the bench have been exposed, and
Judge Thayer, who was cheated out of his
seat by the machinations of Wallace,
McMullin & Co., is restored to his office.
The contest for the remaining offices goes
on slowly, but surely. All the evidence
which reinstates Mr. Myers and Judge Thayer
goes to swell the case against the remaining
Democratic office-holders. Cannot this final
contest be pressed forward more rapidly ?
We are aware that there is an immense
amount of labor involved, and that very
much has been accomplished; but, we trust
that the gentlemen who are conducting this
important contest will pardon the suggestion,
that not a day, which can be made available,
shall be lost in pressing the issue to a conclu
sion. With these outrageous frauds exposed
and defeated, and with the adoption of the
Grant policy of nominating none but drat
clues men for office, the Republican party
of Philadelphia will go forward with the
same tew and honorable career in the ad
ministration of our municipal affairs as ha 4
been inaugurated in our national affairs by
President Grant.
We gladly welcome Judge Thayer back to
his honored seat upon the bench, and con
gratulate him and the people of Philadelphia
on his signal triumph over the - Violence and
rascality that Bought, in vain, to drive him
from the seat which he so eminently adorns.
In the State Senate yesterday a bill was
passed exempting Carncross 8a Dixey's opera
house in this city from the operation of the
law which forbids the obstruction of the aisles
of places of amusement with camp stools
and benches. The reason for this arbitrary
and partial legislation is not given, but we
are quite certain that it would not be satisfac
tory to the public, whatever it might be.
The law was passed originally in response
to a general demand for the better
protection of life in crowded assem
blies. The necessity for it is apparent to
every one, and needs no demonstration. It
is quite as necessary in the Eleventh Street
opera house as in most other public halls.
Perhaps the exits are large enough to per
mit the escape of an audience in
case of fire, but there can be no doubt of
the fact that a panic in this building, while
the aisles were choked up with stools, would
cause the loss of many lives. Carncroas da
Dixey,at any rate, have no right to the enjoy
ment of privileges and profits denied to other
managers. If the Legislatare can discrimi
nate in their favor in this particular, they can
as justly claim from the same body exemp
tion from the license law, from imposition of
taxes, and from all regulations which effect
the members or the firm as individuals. We
protest against this partiality, not only in this,
but in any case. The repealed law is a good
and a necessary one, and it is particularly
good and necessary in this instance.

It is nearly certai•,t` that the Sault.) will
take some definite itioinpolf the Tenure of
Office. law to-day', ; and thus :settle the matter
LW far as that b'idy is concerned.' ` The pre
position is to give the President absolute
power over Us own c . Qabinet; and tO enable
him to ren,ove officials without assignment
'of cause (Airing the recess of the Senate.
Thirty df,ya after reassembling, the Senate is
to be inlbrnied of :the removals: and appoint -
ments„ and if the latter are not confirmed, the
origisial occupants of the, positions are to be
reamed. Whether the'';House *rill accept
this compromise remains to. he Been. It may
fairly be considered doubtful, however, for
that body voted nearly unanimously In favor
of the absolute repeal of'the law. ' ' In this the
memberacertainly_represenkfitptibile_opinioe;
but the people and the President will be will
ing to accept the Senate's proposition rather
than have the law remain in full force during
the recess, as it will do if there is any further
delay. After all, the compromise will snit
the President's purpose. He desires to reform
the civil service by removing men whom
he considers incompetent and untrust
worthy. The Senate proviso permits
him to exercise • his judgment In
doing this, and makes it unnecessary
for him to undertake the impossible
task of securing, in every ease, evi
dence of incapacity and rascality. The re
form can be as sweeping and general under
the proposed arrangement as it could if the
law were atterly repealed; and it may be that
the knowledge that the Senate will carefully
l examine the appointments, will cause the
President to exercise even greater care in se
lecting his men. For this reason, and be
cause it is apparent that repeal cannot be se
cured at this late day, we hope, the House
will accept the substitute promptly and in
good spirit. At the next session the whole
subject will be reopened again, of comae, and
then we shall be glad if Congress will show
its hearty approval of the Preffident's policy
of reform,by passing a civil service bill, which
will secure good men in office beyond the
power of any future President to remove
them, unless for cause, 41 thus insure the
proper management of the public business,
and put an end forever to that wild scramble
for office which becomes more offensive with
the inauguration of every new President.
The Bostonians are preparing for the
"grand peace jubilee" in June next by quar
reling fiercely over the details. One party
wants a huge shed upon the common, and
another party opposes the design; and so there,
is nearly as much discord as there will -be
when the concert takes place. For, without
a doubt, the festival will be a failure as far as
music is concerned. One of the pieces on
the programme, for instance—the Anvil
Chorus—is to be performed by a chorus of
20,000 persons, au orchestra of 1,000, with
one hundred anvils, hammered by members
of the fire department, with several "drum
corps, with cannon fired by electricity, mm
ketry exploded by musical-volanteers, and
all the bells of the city "chiming in exact
time." This will be a big noise; there will be
no concord in it, It will make a clatter loud
enough to wake the echoes in the White
Mountains. The bells being at various dis
tances, will send in their vibrations one after
the other, two, three and four beats behind
time; the cannon will hang fire, and come in
upon the down stroke instead of the np stroke
of the conductor's baton; and the bold mus
keteers, with the well known Irregularity of
amateur soldiers, will rattle a volley through
a whole bar instead of making it a single note.
The possible result will be the distraction,
perhaps the absolute lunacy, of every sensi
tive musical man in Boston. The fact is the
Hub people are going to overdo the thing.
They had better be satisfied with the big or
gan, and abandon this project for a quiet lit
tle concert in the Music Hall. This advice
seems heartless now, perhaps, but after the
first rehearsal it will probably be welcomed
by some of the less infatuated people. If
there is more than one rehearsal, there will
not be an uninjured tympanum in Boston;
and then the big concert will be a failure any
how.

Mr. Gladstone has reason to exult over the
result of the debate on the Irish die-establish
ment bill. The House divided at an early
hour this morning, on the motion for the
second reading, and it was carried by a vote
of 368 for and 250 against—majority for the
Government 118. The result was received
with tremendous cheering in the House,
which was instantly taken up by a large crowd
outside. At three A. M.,the House adjourned
until after the Easter holidays. The success
of the bill in the House of Commons is thus
assured by a very large majority. In the
Peers its fate is not so certain, but after such
a vote in the lower House it may be expected
to be carried there also. •

WAbiILINGTOR, March 24.—For the first time in
the history of the government, the Society of
Friends Is stnangly represented in the throngs
around the President and the departments. Two
strong delegations from Pennsylvania arrived
yeeeerday. One, composed of Thomas Whi
ter, Charles Evans and Joseph Scattergood, all
of Philadelphia, are on a mission of inquiry. The
President has prepared to appoint Friends to In
dian agencies, but these agents are so intimately
connected with the army in their move
ments that objection is made by
the ultra-peace men. The pre
sent object of the Society is to discover
whether arrangements can be made . tch will
reconcile the duties of the office wi thb anti
war views of the Friends. The otko delegation,
consisting of Eli IL Price, Judge W Strong, of
the Pennsylvania Supreme Court; v.... a sway,
John S. Mlles. Wm. Welsh and B. R. Shipley,
come to urge the appointment of a commission,
by set of Congress, to carry out in good faith the
humane tre..ty with the Sioux Indians retitled
fen days ago. They believe that this treaty,wbich
aims at the civilization of the Indians, and which
secures to them on moderate terms the owner
ship of the land, citizenship and the education
of their children, cannot be properly
carried out by the old agencies and the routine
tSat have oppressed and wasted the substance of
the Indians so long, and think a commission of
philanthropists the best plan.
The Western men here, however, object to al
lowing titti Pennsylyania Friends the control of
these metiers, and ia ay that the Friends living in
Indiana, who have bad considerable experience
in decline with the Indians, should be allowed to
have a voice in the matter.
Judicial Appointment In Illaseactiu

(Special Despatch to the Phila. Events: Bulletin.]
'Vv asturtorow, March 24th.—Hon. EL L. Dawes
has revived a letter from Governor Claftin, of
Massachusetts, formally tendering him a position
on the Supreme Bench of Massachusetts, to till
the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of
Judge Hoar, who accepted the position of Attor
ney. General in president Grant's Cabinet. Mr.
Dawes was as completely surprised by having
this position offered him as his colleagues, and
his warm friends, political and otherwise, were
gratified and pleased that it is so. Should
Mr. Dawes accept, it will require
his withdrawal from active political
lite altogether, and this he is loth to do. Being
one of the recognised leaders of the Republicans
In the House, his absence would be severely felt,
and his place could not be easily tilled. *early
all of his associates who are aware of the offer
made are strongly opposed to his accepting it,
and it is thought, therefore, that he will feel
bound to decline the appointment.

canons on the Civil Tenure Law•
Illpechil Despatch to the Phila. Evening Bulletin.)
WASIIIISGTON, March 24.—The Republican
caucus this morning of Senators to hear the re
port•of the Judiciary Committee as to the bill
modifying the Tenure-of-Office bill was very
b.arnionions; and no trouble or battle of words,
which threatened a few days ago to cause serious
trouble in the Republican ranks, occurred. Mr.
Trumbull made the report from the Committee,
premising it by saying that an interview had
been held with President Grant, and that
the bill as amended was perfectly satis
factory to him. Some discussion ensiled
as to Whether the bill agreed upon
should be acted on in the Senate to-day, Messrs.
Howe, Sumner and other° maintaining that it
was a bill involving a serious question of prin
ciple and that the Senate should postpone its
consideration until to morrow, in order that time
might be given to digest and examine it
thoroughly. It was finally agreed, however,
that it was best to push the bill through this after
noon.
The caucus of Republican Senators this morn
ing agreed upon a plan whereby al; farther diffi
culties as to the operations will be obviated. The
bill, as agreed to In caucus, and which will pass
the Senate, gives the President full control over
his Cabinet. The principle that the Senate has
revisory power over removals as well as appoint
ments, Is to be retained by a provision which re
quires that during the session of the Senate the
President shall not make absolute removals, but
removals during the session shall only be made
by the appointment and confirmation of a suc
cessor to the officer removed. The President is
given full power to make suspensions during the
receise,and to appolat persons to fill the vacan•
cies thus made, whose commisdons shall expire
with the close of the next session of the Senate,
and the suspended officer will then resume the
office, provided the Senate shall, by a direct affir
mative vote, refuse to concur in the suspension.
The President Is required, however, to report the
suspensions and appointments made during the
recess of the Senate within thirty days after the
beginning of the next ensuing session of Con
gress, but he is no; required to prefer charges or
give his reasons for any suspension.

FortysFirse Congress—Mart Reastons
from the Third Edition
Mr. COnklina dented Milking any such state
ment, and spoke in favor of the proposition to
suspend•for four years and thought. it would be
satisfactory to General Grant as it was to him.
He did not understand why there should oe such
a disposition among certain Senators to
reject all compromise and modiflea-
Sone, and insist • so • obstinately on repeal,
It bad been dinned in his ears that the State Legis
lature of New York bad instructed him to vote
for repeal-bat he rejected , the claim of av legis
lature or of any man to become the keeper of
his honor and conscience. He should vote as
he thought proper, and not as • the State
of New York thought, or • as
the Senator from Indiana or airy
other man. It had never been his habit, he said,
to call public attention to matters personal to
himself; but as this statement charged him with
the utterance of language grossly disrespectful
to his State . and Legislature, he thought it his
duty to notice it and to pronounce it without the
slightest foundation in fact, as the presiding
officer and every other Senator present at the
caucus could bear witness. The New York rimes,.
too, a journal so accurate generally In its news
department, and so creditably represented at
Washington, in its account of the proceedings in
this canons, had fallen into errors which, though
not eo bad as those of the Chronicle, were very
abusing. It wad somewhat noticeable that there
should be any public account, whatever, of the
proceedings of a caucus, since the only persons
who can have any accurate knowledge of them
are forbidden to divulge them. He could not be
lieve that any Senator had in this case violated
the obligation of secrecy, and he• supposed that
the extreme inaccuracy of the accounts given by
the reporters was to be attributed to the fact that
they bad to rely altogether upon guess work.
Mr. Grimes ofdlEakthe statements concerning
him in this paragraph were wholly untrue, but
since his experience of last year, he had ceased
to care for misstatements about himself Irk:the
public prints.
The following substitutpfor the bill to repeal
the Tenure-of-Office lair was reported from
the Judiciary Committee, and came up for dis
cussion.
It strikes out all after the enacting clause, and
inserts the following :
That the first and second sections of an act
entitled an act regulating the tenure of certain
civil officers, passed March 2d 1867, be and the
same are hereby repealed. and in lieu of said re
pealed sections the following are hereby enacted:
That any person holding any civil office to
which he has been or may be hereafter appointed
'by and with the advice and consent of the Sen
ate, and who shall have become duly qualified to
act therein, shall be entitled to hold such office
during the term for which he shall have been
appointed unless sooner removed by and with the
advice and consent of the Senate, or by the ap
pointment,with the like advice and consent, of a
successor in his place, except as herein otherwise
provided.
Sac. 2. And be it further enacted, That during
any recess of the Senate the President is hereby
empowered in his discretion to suspend any civil
officer appointed by and with the advice and con
sent of the Senate, except Judges of the United
States Courts, until the end of the next session of
the Senate,and to designate some suitable person,
subject to be removed in his discretion by the
designation of another, to perform the duties of
such suspended officer in the meantime,and such
person so designated shall take the oath and
give the bends required by law to be taken and
given by the suspended officer, and shall,
during the time he performs his
duties. be entitled to the salary and emoluments
of such office, no part of which shall belong to
the officer suspended. And it shall be the duty
of the President, within thirty days after the
commencement of each session of the Senate,
except for any office which, in his opinion,ought
not to be filled, to nominate persons to fill
all vacancies in offices which existed at the
-meeting of the Senate, whether temporarily
filled or not, and also in the place of all officers
suspended, and if the Seeate,d urine such session,
shall refuse to advise and consent to an appoint
ment in the place of any suspended officer, 'and
shall also refuse by vote to assent to his snepen
sten, then and not otherwise such officer at the
end of the session shall be entitled to resume the
possession of tee office from which he was sus
pended and afterwards to discharge its duties
and receive its emoluments as though no such
suspension had taken place.
Mr. Trumbull, from the Committee on the Su
dielary,reported the bill to repeal the Tenure-of-
Office act, with an amendment in the nature of a
substitute.
Mr. Bayard moved to table the report. Lost.
Mr. Davis moved to amend by striking out the
report of the Committee, and inserting the bill
passed by the House, absolutely repealing the
Tenure-of-Office act.
Mr. Trumbull said that as that bill had been
struck out by the Senate in Committee of the
Whole, it was not now in order to move to re
place it.
The President pro tem., Mr. Anthony, decided
that it was not in order.
Mr. Davis thought the Senate had a right to re
vise the action of the Committee of the Whole
The President asked whether Mr. Davis desired
to appeal from the decision of the chair?
Mr. Davis said he did not care to throw straws
against a hurricane. Laughter.)
Mr. Warner moved to lay the bill on the table
and order it printed.

WASHINGTON, March 24.—The report of the
Judiciary Committee'on the Tenure-of-001as bill
was sent to the Senate at 1 o'clock. Some sur
prise was manifested when Mr. Grimes took the
floor and said he would oppose the bilL He said
he believed the President should have absolute
eontrol over the appointments and removals.
Mr. Morton said he would not oppose the
measure, as it removed all practical difficulties
and gave to the Executive that power 'which
properly belonged to him. While not oppobing
the measure neither could he give it his approval,
as it did not wholly eoncede the principle at
issue.
Mr. Harlan followed, taking- strong 'grounds
in favor of the Tenure-of-Office bill as it stood,
contending that every President should be re
stricted from removing or appointin at his plea
sure without being held responsi ble, and con
cluded without saying that he would vote for the
bill as modified.
Mr. Fowler said be had not originally supported
the Tenure-of-Office bill, nor did he believe the
principle a sound one, and he would therefore
vote for the amendments to the bill.
The galleries of the senate are well filled
with spectators, and the interest in the
debate seems unabated. At this hour it look as
though quite a numberof long speeches are to be
