EVENING BULLETIN.
tiWednesatty, April 7, 18C9.
»Fajß.niujHS os cßine. > ,
The'Legisiatnre yesterday offered the larges* ,
premium for murder that has yet heen at
tempted, by the possage of a bill leaving the
infliction of the death penalty to the discre
tion of the Governor. Considering the mag
nitude Of the interests involved, this bill may
well he set down as the most dangerous piece
of legislation of the present session. The
premiums already offered for the commission
of murder ate very great. The chances of
escaping,detection through the clumsiness of
our police system; the chances of a packed
iuiy-box; the (hances of fabricated evidence;
the chances of appeals from judicial decisions;
i the chances of misguided public sympathy;
the chances of reprieves and pardons; the
•chanceß of escape from prison-, all
1 these are premiums which are al
, ready offered for the shedding ol
* human blood. The only fixed barrier that
has hitherto been interposed Is the inflexible
requirement of the law itßelf. The Governor
of the State needs this barrier. He is, ordi
narily, a humane man. The pressure brought
to bear upon him, in every case, no mailer
how flagrant, is relentless and very strong.
>. His one protection is in the stern demand of
the law which leaves him no option. The
individual responsibility of executing the ex
treme penalty ol the law should not be
thrown upon the Governor. It puts the bur
den of hanging the murderer upon the indi
vidual conscience of the man who may hap
pen to be Governor,"by inviting him to im
pose a lighter sentence. It holds out this
great chance of working upon the Governor’s
feelings to the man who is meditating mur
der, and so adds this crowning premium to
all the other Inducements which we have al
ready alluded to.
This legislation is very different from that
asked for by Governor Geary, in his last
message. In that document, special legisla
tion was asked for, in certain cases, whose
peculiar circumstances were such as to make
them exceptional and to demand Such relie t
as was aßked for by the Governor. Bui the
bill passed, yesterday, is general and not
special. It is the practical abrogation of a
law that has stood for seventy-five years on
our statute books. It is a move in the direc
tion of an abatement of the penalty of mur
dar, and it is therefore a move in the wrong
direction. Governor Geary’s suggestion, last
winter, is the true one. Where
special cases arise, as they may,
occasionally, requiring the interposition of
-the Executive, and yet not deserving an un
- conditional’ pardon, special relief can always
be obtained by the Governor from the Legis
lature; but it is safe to predict that, with such
~ a law as this in operation, there will be very
few murderers in Pennsylvania who will not
be able to work on the feelings of any Gov
- ernor sufficiently to obtain a commutation of
bis sentence.
This bill has been passed too hastily. It
was -put through both Houses in the same
day’s session, and yet it involves conse
quences to the public welfare and safety
which demanded, what they certainly have
nbt received, a very deliberate and thorough
consideration by every member of the Legis
lature.
HONEST OFTICULB.
:The;people ore indulgiog the hope that we
have entered upon an era in the history of the
elvll service of the country, when honesty
and abHily are to become the rule and Dot
the exception among those who hold public
office, lit, is a comfortable hope, and one to
theTrealiaation of which all good men should
. contribute according to their opportunities.
. It 1b caty.for honest men to sustain honest
officials, .except under one condition of af
. fairs. Itoometimes comes to pass that such
. officials, in the strict discharge of their duties,
ate compelled to make decisions or to ex
. ecute laws .which are adverse to the
or the interests of the very men
, wio, but tor these personal interests, would
be foremost In upholding all Buch honest
officials to 4he uttermost Self-Interest, ns
everybody kaowe, is the first law of nature,
and the actions and motive and worth of
: otttez men take strong coloring in our eyes,
according to the particular medium through
which they are viewed in their relations to
individual interacts.
There is a case in point, of this sort, just
BOW.io this. city,.to which we feel warranted
to call ,public attention on account of its
peculiar character. One of the General Ap
juaiserajaf the JPhiiadelphia Custom-House is
ohr well-known fellow-citizen, Mr. Lorin
Blodgett. Jt is sot In any invidious spirit
that .wo .refer *to that gontleman
as one of oar “honest officials. ” Though a
native of tbs State ofjNew York, he lias long
heen identified with the interests of Pennsyl
vania and ; Pciladelpbia, and has brought ab
the powers of a highly cultivated intelligence
,to the promotion of the industries of this
, community. tEIs acquaintance with general
business matters, cpmttlned with an inflexible
integrity, has.made him a most usefal and
impartial revenue officer- In deciding the
many questions which are esbmitted to him
as a-Geueral Appraiser, he kas been guided
by an boneßt purpose to eniofico the revenue
laws in accordance with the precise
facts of each case. In doing
<ao, ,sq Appraiser must necessarily
-come in conflict, at times, .with merchants,
dm porters and other business men, whose
opinions, adverse to hie own, can scarcely
fail to bo inspired, more or less, by their
personal interest: whereas, the Appraiser, i 1
an honest man, has no iaterest at stake but
that which is involved in the proper execu
tion of the law.
Bomo of these conflicts of opinion have
made Mr. Blodgett unpopnhir with gentlemen
who WOBld not deliberately permit a dts-
honest decision of any case in their own favor,
tint who are, nevertheless, unconsciously In
fluenced by ‘‘the first law of nature,” and
ibere is a pressure brought to boar to oust Mr.
Blodgett from bis position. Wo trust, most
earnestly, that it will prove unsuccessful-
We have comparatively few Buoh gentlemen
in our public offices. Where we are so for
tunate as to have them, let us, by all means,
keep them. It is by upholding and endorsing
honest officials that the number of them Is to
be increased.
Ernies’. Galleries, at 816 Chestnut street,
which are always attractive to lovers of art,
are to*be made more so by a special exhibi
tion of works of American Art, which is to
open on Friday evening next. For that
evening cards are issued, but afterwards the
general public will have free admission
daily. From the well-known enterprise and
taste of the firm, it may be inferred that the
collection will be veryifitereating.
Florists and lovers of the rare and beauti
ful in plants should attend a sale that is to
take place to-morrow morning at the auction
room of Mr. William Wolbert, No. 16 South
Bixth street. M. Julio Lachaume, a graduate
of the Agricultural and Horticultural School
of Paris, has imported a large and varied lot
of plants from Cuba, maßy of which are un
known here. Their introduction is quite as
event in the history of floriculture in Phila
delphia.
Indian Civilization.
Onr Washington correspondence, as published
in the second edition of yesterday’s paper, con
tained some Inaccuracies concerning the vieit to
Washington of our influential citizens, who
were pleading for tbo civilization of the Indian.
On their return we gave in onr editorial columns
an accurate account of the object and effect of
their vielt;we will thorefore now only refer to that
which seome needful to correct the error, and to
briDg tbo history down to the present time. The
Committee did not aßk, as was stated
by our correspondent, that the en
tire control of Indian affairs should
bo given to Commissioners, or that their expenses
should be paid, or that they Bhould select super
intendents and agents. They merely asked the
President and the Secretary of the Intorior if it
would be agreeable to them that the President
should select five commissioners, who should
serve gratuitously, paying their own expenses,
to act jointly with the Secretary of the Interior
in promoting the “civilization, Cbrielianlz »-
lion and ultimate citizenship of the In
dian, in the new Territory, into which
the Sioux Indians and other affiliated
nibes were being gathered. “The President and
the Secretary of the Interior concurred cordially
with the views expressed by the committee that
salaried Government agents, unaided by phllan
tbropists and Christian teachers, cannot "civilize
end christianize” any pagan race. The Secretary
of the interior, as is evidenced by his letter
which we published a few days since, went far
beyond the suggestions of the committee by de
siring joint co-operation in all appropriations for
Indians. . , .
The Senate also cordially adopted the sugges
tion by unanimously adding the following clause
lo the Indian Appropriation bill then pending :
"And be tt further macted, Tbat the President
of the Uniteo States be and bo is hereby autho
rized to organize a Board of Commissioners, to
consist of not more than ten persons, to be se
lected by him from men. eminent for their in
telligence and philanthropy, to serve without
pecuniary compensation, who may, under his
direction exercise Joint control with the Interior
Department over the disbursements of the appro
priations made by this Act, or any part thereol
that ihc President may designate, and lo pay the
necessary expensesof transportation,Bubstsieoce
and cleik-bire of said Commissioners while actu
ally tngngtd in said sorvico, tboro is hereby ap
pioprlated tint of apy money In the Treasury not
otherwise appropriated, tbo sum of twenty-five
thousand dollars, or so much thereof as may be
ntcessary.”
The Senate inserted the clauso appropriating
for tbo traveling expenses of the coouinisdon
from their own sense of propriety, - and the only
objection made by Senators was that the amount
Bhould bo increased. Tbe sum appropriated by
the Senate for carrying into effect the new
treaties was about two and a half million of dol
lars, but as the House had determined to reject
these appropriations there was an informal eon
ircnee with theCubinetas to thesnai that should
be pluctd at the disposal of the President toi
the fiscal year beginning on the first day of July
next. It was agreed that a lees sum than three
millions of dollars might not snffice to Buppori
the Indians who were to be takon from thoir
bunting grounds, and to assist them in building
cabins ana to furnish them with 6eed. farming
Implements. <fte., to Indie them to self-support.
It seems from the Congressional proceedings of
yesterday that the House, in Committee
of the ‘Whole, agreed to vote two“ mil
lions of dollars to the President,
to serve until December next, when Congress will
reosstmble. The President of the United States
having full authority, according to his discretion
und Judgment, to nee said money In maintaining
ptaeo with the Indians, promoting their civiliza
tion, placing them,where practicable, on reserva
tloLS, encouraging their efforts at self-support,
and that ho has liberty to appoint such benovo
lt nt gentlemen as he has confidence In to carry
out tbe design of this appropriation. The
Honse will, undoubtedly, to-day adopt the re
commendation of the Committee, and as they are
turn in ibe determination not to appropriate
money specifically to any recent treaty, the Sen
ate will no doubt recede from their position,
either by n direct vote, or through the interven
tion of a Committee of Conference. The action
of the House Is in precise accordance with the
views of the committee from this city, and the
sum recommended tois be appropriated is
felly ob large as that suggested by tbe Cabinet, as
Congress wil! reassemble befoio the expiration
of the first six months of tho fiscal year.
By the latest intelligence from Gen. Sheridan
ond others, the necessity for supporting Indians
who have been taken from tbeir bunting grounds
1b most urgent, to prevent further outbreaks by
Ismlsblng savages who, it seems, aro quite do*
cilo when their cravings for food are satisfied.

been received by tho Naw Department. In par
auance of instructions, ho was about taking steps
to Tirvcstigftto ' the c&so of tho American

the Brltfsh authorities. Tho English Consul
General has received In reply to his demand for
the return of the vessel a note stating that the
case was now in the Spanish Admiralty Courts,
and as soon as their decision was known no
would be informed.
Admiral Hoff forwards to the department a
list of tho American citizens, some with their
families, who are in tho interior, and for whom
be had asked a sale conduct to Neu vitas through
the Spanish llneß. The Captain-Genera! of Cuba
promptly compiled with the request and lssayd
the necessary orders.
The want of vessels prevented Admiral Hoff
from offending transportation to these people to
Havana, from which point they coaid easily
reach the United Stales. If, however, they
could And tbelr way fo the coast through the
lines of both Cubans end Spanatrds, he hoped to
be able to return them at an early day.
Mr. Codrington,CoD6ul at Jlbara, on thonorth
cm coast of Cuba, who had boen arrested by the
Spanish authorities on suspicion of conspiring
agarast the Government, bod been released at
tbe’ Instance of Admiral Hoff and the Vice Consol
Genera) at Havana.
Tbe distribution of vessels In the North Atlantic
Squadron Is as follows:—Contoocook (flag-ship),
at Havana; Narragansott, at Key West: Peagp
scot, at Trinidad, south side of Cabs; NlgySe, at
sea. on her way from Aspln wall to relieve the

lies, some who are in the interior, and for
whom he had asked a safe conduct to Nenvitas,
through the Spanish lines.
The Captain-General of Cuba promptly com
plied with the request and issued the neoeasiry
orders. The want of vessels prevented Admiral
Hoff from glvng transportation to those
people to Havana, from which point
they could easily reach the United States,
if, however, they conld find their way to the
coast, through the lines of both tbe Cabans and
Spaniards, he hoped to be able to relieve them at
an early day. j

northern coast of Cuba, who had been arrested
by the Spanish authorities on suspicion of con
spiracy against the Government, bod been
released at tbe Instance of Admiral Hoff and tho
Vice Consul-General at Havana.

Honso—Continued from Third Edition.
He explained the object of this amendment.
Fears had been expressed, be said, that under the
House proposition the provision for tho payment
of retiri d judges might, at any time, bo repealed
by Congress, and thus judges who bad retired,
reiving on tbia promise, would be deceived. He
did not believe there was any danger that Con
gress would ever repeal the provision, but the
Committee on tbe Judiciary had thought it whe
to obviate the difficulty as far as possible by this
amendment.
Beveral otber amendments of detail reported
by tbe Judiciary Commilte were made to the
bill, which now goes back to the House for con
cunenee.
Mr. Williams called up the bill to aid In the

Mr. Butler (Mass.), from the Reconstruction
Commitiee, reported a bill to enforce the 14th
amendment to tbe constitution and laws of the
United States, to restore the State of Georgia to
'he republican government elected under the
United States constitution.
Tbe bill, which bas been heretofore published,
having, been, read, Mr. Butler proceeded to ex
plain and advocate. Be read some extracts from
a Georgia newspaper to show tho hostility still
Misting there against reconstruction measures.
He remarked that the subject had been
thoroughly discussed, and he hoped, the House
non Id come to a vote on the bill.
Mr, Beck suggested that it bad not been suffl
c!< nlly discussed, and that if be could get an hoar
be would demonstrate that the bill ought not to
pass.
Mr. Bingham took a similar view. The bill was
a very important one, and should be discussed.
In bis opinion it ought not to be passed.
Mr. Eidridge wanted to know whether a State
of the Union was to be treated as a shuttle
cock—One day in the Union and another day
ont.
Mr Butler offered to yield what time he could to
tbe gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Beck).
Mr. Beck proposed to have the floor In his own
right.
Mr. Woodward claimed at least three hours for
discussion on the part of the Democratic eldo of
tbe Houbc.
Ml. Butler bad no objection to discussion, al
though everyone knew that discussion would not
change a single vote, bnt the other business was
pressing, and he did not wish to have it blocked
np.
Mr. Butler moved tbe previous question, which
was not seconded, and ho then resumed tho floor
and proceeded with bis argument in support of
the bill. ,
Mr. Heaton, from the same committee, mado a
report that John B. Rogers would be entitled to
bis seat as a representative from Tennessee as
soon as Congress should enact a law for that pur
pose, and he also reported such a bill. Ordered

branch of the Union Pacific Railroad. Passed
with amendments.
Tbe House then proceeded to the consideration
of tbe Indian Appropriation bill.
Mr. Dawes,Chairman of the Committee on Ap
propriations, moved as an amendment an addi
tional section, providing that nothing contained
in the act shall be construed as ratifying or ap
proving any Indian treaty made eince July, 1867.

to agree. It 1b alleged on the port" of,,
the plolDtiff that on tbo occasion of the first read
ing given by Mrs. Ktmblo at Concert Hall, the
passage-ways wore filled with chairs, obstructing
tbo movements cf persons In the audience; also,
that one of the doors of exit was cloßed.ln vlola
tion of an net of Assembly. The 'case .Was-'
originally tried before JudgeStroud, who at that,
time displayed considerable feeling in the conduct
of the suit, and to-day the scenes peculiar to a
trial before this judge were renewed. ... ..... ;

to be need ds'a door of entrance'to. the; concert
room. The counsel for the defbnea endeayored t 0..;,

tber this door applied only to the 'concert jroam, .
.and not the building. The counsel for the plaintiff
objected, to. atiy interference; the' counsel for ~
the defendant Insisted upon bis right to have tho ’.
