THE LAST EffORBOEL There Is never a repetition of the horrible deeds of blood which, from time to tiing,con vain this community, without a repetition, also, of the demonstration of the inefficiency of the present police system. The dreadful tragedy which came to light yesterday after noon, in which a whole family, father, mother and children have been swept into eternity, is one of the most shocking and sick ening horrors ever recorded in Philadelphia. A young man of respectable connections, of good habits, established in business, living in his own quiet home, with wife and children , under a sudden access of insanity, butchers his faithful wife and his loving children, with fearful deliberationlwhich, of itself, proves his mental derangement, and finishes the terrible tragedy with suicide. a. , ; The horror is one, which appears to-have in it no element of crime. The whole con duct of Mr. Blackstone is that of a cool, de liberate, irresponsible lunatic. the method of his wholesale destruction of himself and his family proves the madness. Fuller in vestigations will probably develop the fact that the incipient disease had manifested itself by those certain signs co well known to those who have studied this worst of human maladies. But the pregnant lesson which is written in the blood of this slaughtered family of innocent people will be lost upon those who are daily exposing themselves and the community to like dangers, because of their unwillingness to admit the fact of the pre sence of insanity in relatives or friends, until it is sealed by some such frightful proof as this.' We have referred to the connection of the police with this shocking affair. This con nection nets in two points. It appears that Mr. Illacketone, after committing the triple murder, went down Market street, bent upon drowning himself, At the corner of Sixth street, half a mile from the river, he was en countered by a policeman who, suspecting him of being insane, arrested him. Black stone, however, broke away from him, and went on his way, apparently unpursued or unmolested. Several hours afterward, he‘weet to the river, jumped in and was drowned. He dropped his handkerchief on the wharf, marked with his name. This was on Mon day morning, at ten o'clock. No search ap pears to have been made for the suicide, no notice conveyed to his home. His name, as marked on his handkerchief, is in the Direc tory, but his house is not visited, and there the bodies of hie mur dered family were left, undiscovered until yesterday afternoon. Had this vital clue to this fearful tragedy been necessary to the capture of an escaping murderer, it would have been all the same. The same lapse of a day and a- half would have occurred, and the criminal would have been far away. There are these two important lessons to be learned from this horror. People should understand better the supreme necessity of recognizing and guarding themselves against the first symptoms of insanity in those around them, since no foresight can predict the mo ment when the hidden disease will break out into some deed of violence or blood. And we are again impressed with, what this paper bast heretofore urged, the necessity of a per manent, trained, educated police. We want a system which will enable men to under , stand their business and to be ready for just such emergencies as this. There is no large city in Europe where,with such a clue as was in the hands of the police authorities, this sad tragedy could have remained undiscovered, an hour after that handkerchief was found. ST IL &BIG A party by the name of Strang, holding a position in the Legislature of Pennsylvania, has declared his intention to introduce, at an early day, a bill, "providing that no man shall publish a newspaper until he shall have lied a certificate of twelve reliable citizens that he is honest and of good repute and vera city." Perhaps such a regulation would be fatal to a great many newspapers, and per haps it would not; but if the same practice should be applie4 to the Legislature, as it .might well be in the interest ol decency, what then would become of Strang ? Strang, and a very large majority of his colleagues, would, we apprehend, retire from public life and be driven to the extremity of earning honest live lihoods. The consequences of their retire ment,might be disastrous to individual com munities, but the State as a whole would be bentfitted. That is, of course, taking for granted that Mr. Strang's estimate of the qualities necessary to produce "reliable chi rens" accords with the popular theory. Con sidering some of Mr. Strang's Mats of states manship, It is not impossible, but rather pro - bable, that we may differ upon the question of reliability and integrity. Men whom Strang considers worthy may be precisely the kind of fellows who would pass Strang in an examination for fitness for legislative du ties; and in that case, we should be compelled to find fault with Strang's notions of good Judgment and reliability. The special cause of the ferocity of Strang Lyon thill subject was the comment of the newspaper press upon some very scandalous behavior in the Rouse of Representatives, in which Strang's colleagues, and perhaps Strang himself, participated. It is likely that jour nals, =antigen by "reliable citizens" of the Strang stamp, would pass over such indiscre tions Without severe comment, or, perhaps, find in , them fit subject for eulogy. News papers Of this kind would be careful, also, to refrain from discussing. some other themes. If they existed at the present rnoment,lor instance, they would, of course, give their verdict in accordance 'with the evidence, and declare, boldly, that Strang and his colleagues were not sent to Harrisburg to serve the' popular interests, but to •grind the axes of such firms as , that whose name appears in most of the jobbing bills passed this session. When Twelfth and Sixteenth Street, and Begin Where You Please and Stop Where You Want To Railroad bills were passed, and when Universal Weighing bills were intro duced, and Drove-yard bills, and Sheep-bills threatened to become laws at the dictation of the firm alluded to, the press would approve and applaud, and cease to defend the rights of the people. Thus encouraged, Strang and his fellows would proceed, and after a while we should have laws compelling tax-payers, under penalty of imprisonment for life, to take turns about blacking the boots of the members of the bill-jobbing firm; or forcing citizens to give half their revenue to these persons, or making it a capital offence to ride on any railway in which they did not have controlling interest. All things are possible with a Legislature such as that of which Mr. Strang is a mem ber; and it is well for the public good that there is a free press over which Strang has no control, and which is not afraid to expose every nefarious scheme concocted by men who were chosen to represent the people, but who are doing, their very best to injure, rob and oppress them. If a reform is needed in either direction, it is in the machinery by which such persons foist themselves upon the community. If this cannot be done, per haps the next best thing would be, as a contemporary has suggested, to abolish the Legislature aligether, and decide for or ( 11:, against propos measures by tossing up a cent. The prin al objection to this method would be that some Strang or other would be absolutely certain to attain the position of tosser, and to employ a double headed penny to the advantage of interested parties. muo. The Legislature, being human, is not alto gether bad. "Very far gone from original righteousness," as the Thirty-nine Articles have it, undoubtedly, but still with discerni- ble traces of rectitude and common sense Here and there, the Legislature has done a good thing, something which suggests neither knavery nor stupidity, and among such things must be ranked the Street Cleaning Bill. It is a good bill, if only because it is a new one; if only because it puts an end to the old one; if only because it tries an ex periment where old ones have signally failed; if only because, from time immemoria "new brooms sweep clean." The Board o Health may fail, as successive Councils have failed. The old farce may be re-enacted under the Board of Health, and some new law may yet be required. But there is every chance that Philadelphia will get, at the very least, one good sweeping from our sanitary brooms, and we believe that it will get many more. Certainly it never wanted it worse. Councils held a special meeting yesterday in reference to the new law, and very properly adjourned without doing anything. The tact is that Councils have nothing to do in the matter, and they should be thankful to be rid of a responsibility which has been a very troublesome one. Councils were called upon yesterday to annul the existing contracts, but the objection was properly interposed that the new law removes the whole business of street—cleaning ont of the jurisdiction of the Mayor and Councils, and vests it in the Board of Health. This latter body is clothed with sovereign power, and to It alone the contrac tors, on the one side, and the public, on the other, must now look. The law very expli citly provides that all power hitherto vested in the Mayor, Councils and the Highway De partment, relative to cleaning the streets shall be and are vested in the Board of Health. Its control over the contractors is absolute, and whatever accountability these contrac tors or their sureties have been under, hith erto, to Councils, they are now under to the Board of Health. Is the Board of Health ready for the re sponsibility which it has invoked from the Legislature? It has undertaken a duty which has hitherto produced nothing but a long catalogue of disgraceful failures. It has got to contend with the fearful accumulations of a winter's untouched filth, and with the cor- ruptions of the present contract system. And what it does, it must do quickly. Never was a decent city so indecently and horribly filthy as is Philadelphia to-day. New York is a Paradise of cleanliness, compared with it. The dirtiest parts of that proverbially dirty city are cleaner than the cleanest parts of this proverbially clean one. The Board of Health has no time to lose. The summer is close upon us, and a warm sun will soon be basking upon the masses of filth which now offend the sight and threaten the health of our people. Its action must be bold, sharp, quick and decisive. It must start upon the principle that the pre— sent contractors never meant or expected to keep the streets clean. It must start with the additional principle that Phila delphia can be cleaned and kept clears. It may feel assured that, from the moment when the community sees and feels that the work is actually being done, and that the Board of Health has really attacked this huge and Mon strous evil courageously and sensibly, the people will endorse and sustain the effort with a power which can neither be disre garded nor resisted. ,No precious time should be wasted in elaborate preparations to begin. Seize your new brooms, gentlemen of the Board of Health; brandish your new scrapers, and begin. Alter you have begun, mature a better plan than the present one. If muscle and broom and scraper are insulibient, call in the aid of machinery; but abov.e all things, Begin! The cable despatches this morning inform us that the draft of the proposed Spanish con stitution does not, as reported, limit the reign of the King to a period of eighteen years. It gives him a life tenure and secures the heredi tary right to his family. We commented, some days ago, upon the singularity' and awkwardness of the reported arrangement, which has no precedent that we know of in the history of monarchical government.

Mr. Fessenden, as Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, said that in his opinion it would be impossible to finish by that time the business pending before the Senate; that the Senate ought not to fix a day for adjournment until it ehouM, at least, have disposed of the In dian appropriation bill. Mr. Sumner agreed with the Senator from Maine that the Senate ought not to concur in this resolution, but the Indian Appropriation bill was not the only or even the most important matter requiring the attention of Congress. ?here was the whole subject of Georgia, invol ving the question of the admission of her Repre sentatives and the question what ehall be done to secure a proper reconstruction of that State. This was the most important subject before Con gress, and Senators ought not even to talk of go ing home until the case of Georgia, in all its branches, should hove been fully cons idered and sett.ed. The settlement of the ease of Georgia was Important, not only to the people of that State. but also as an ex ample for the other States, Mississippi, Texas and Virginia. Another very important matter de manding attention and action at this session was the revision of the naturalization laws, so as to prevent frauds in naturalization. Mr. Rowe was unable to see why it was wrong to talk about adjournment. It was a peculiarity of the Senator from Massachusetts that the longer be stayed here the more he found to be done. rLaughter.l He (Mr. Howe) would be willing to remain in eeesion a while longer for the purpose of settling the Georgia case, if be could see any prospect of making such settlement; but he had been here ever since 1862 trying to reconstruct Georgia and the other Southern States, and yet be believed they were no nearer reconstruction than ever. If Congress could reconstruct a State, it bad had time enough to do it, but to recoil structnnecessfully, in addition to Congress and time, one thing more was needed, good sense. Bouse.—Mr. Lathe presented, a petition of Horace J. Emery for an extension of his patent for improvement in the endless chain horse power.

BY TELEGRAPIL LATER FROM WASHINGTON The Adjournment of Congress The Question Before the Senate The Payne-Weston Walking Match Auction Sale of Coal in Now York The Adjournment. Special De/patch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] WASHINGTON, March 81.--The Senate took up the House resolution providing for an adjourn ment next Tuesday, and debated it until the close of the morning hour, when it went over, under the rules, and the Indian Appropriation bill was taken up. The debate disclosed the fact that many Senators are anxious for an early ad journment. Mr. Fessenden said it was best to omit action on the question until the Indian Appropriation bill was finished. Mr. Sumner protested against fixing any time until the status of Georgia and the other num. constructed States was settled by legislation, The Naturalization bill passed, and other necessary business attended to. Mr. Anthony thought the Senate wquid be no nearer the apparent end of its• business two weeks hence than it was to-day, as' experience showed that the business on the calendar in creased instead of diminished up to the close of the session. Mr. Hamlin believed that an adjournment could be made by the close of next week, and moved that Saturday be inserted in the resolution instead of Tuesday. Mr. Thayer opposed the passage of the resolu tion at this time. Mr. Conkling favored it. and claimed that the understanding in the caucus that only certain subjects of legislation should be considered this peeelon should be adhered to. In the course of the debate, several Senators spoke of it as almost certain that the -Senate would have to remain atter Congress ad journed to attend to Executive business. The general sentiment seems to be that an adjourn ment will be bad next week. The House has up the Mississippi bill, with Gen. Farnsworth speaking in support of his sub stitute. From Washington.

BUFFALO March 81.—The exeitementln regard to the walking match between Payne and Weston is on the increase. The betting is heavy and al most even. AL the last accounts Weston walked fifty-eight miles without stopping, and was forty minutes ahead of Payne, who stopped for re freshments. The bridges at Cattarangus creek had been carried away by the freshet, which detained Weston, and Payne caught up with him. Weston obtained a team to earry his judges and left a few minutes before 11 o'clock. Payne was detained for want of a team to carry bis judges. The public sentiment favors Payne. Considering the muddy condition of the roads, both men have done splendid walking. They are expected to make the trip in a little. over 24 hours. _ New York Auction Sale of Coal.
