Sad and awful as were the tragedies ofyes Hiday, lUs community experienced a sense of relief when it was known that two mur derers, one by his own guilty hand, the other the minister of the law, ere put to death. It was felt that these were in some degree test eases, the result of which would deter miae whether murder could he committed With impunity under certain conditions U alt city. One criminal had wealth; the other powerful political influence; and both of these were brought to bear with extraor dinaiy skill and pertinacity to secure the safety of the condemned. It is a triumph for justice, and a fresh guarantee of the sanctity ofhnban life that both failed utterly, and that stern retribution was meted out to the guilty men. Any other result would have been disastrous to the peace and security of honest people. Unless it iB known that punishmeu •will follow swiftly and surely upon commis sion of crime, there might as well be n > penalty affixed by the law. It is only the knowledge of the inevitability of retribu.ion (hat restrains lawless men from violence and miqnity. The chances of escape axe too great already, and to this j, to be attributed the frequency of crime. Men perceive the uncertainty of the law, and are willing often to take the risk 9 oi detection,conviction and punishment There ought to be no risks if guilt is evident "Law la instituted by society for the protection oi honest people from the systematic warfare waged against them by wicked men. But i' has been so perverted that in many case? it operates entirely in the interest or offenders •(lording them protection in their neftri >us deeds. What with the quibbles of lawyers, the imperfect judgment ol Jurors, the fanati cal seal of sentimental lets whose distorted humanity expends itself, in behalf of offenders, forgetting the crime and the sufferers, and the endangered community,and with the chaises of Executive pardon,the probability always is that the assassin will be made a hero of, In stead of yielding bis life as the penalty of his »in. Cruelty and disproportionate punish xnent defeat the purpose of law; but just and equal retribution is the only safeguard of s>- ciety. It will be better for us, if, instead o iclaxine the penalty, we stop up some of the chinks and crannies by which criminals escape. The pardoniag power oi the Executive, for instance,might perhaps b circumscribed so that it could be exercise! only in certain defiued cases. N >w,the G>v ernor is left with the fearful responsibility o! unlimited exercise of his prerogative, and i he be iDfirm of purpose, or of a too teadar heart, it is sure to be abused to the injury o‘ the community. The pardmiog power was not designed to release criminals ; It was iu tended for the benefit of innocent men only It was to correct the mistakes of the law, n ji to defeat its just operation. Tue pressure brought to bear upon Gjv. Geary iu favji oi the two murderers who die 1 yesterday was enormous and almost irresistible. The criin Inals hoped for much from this,and from tbe Act that tbe Governor had it In hi 9 pawer to forgive them absolutely. It was well for him and for ns that he forbore to turn these men loose upon the community again ; but it is donbt'nl if he should have had ability to d > so where the certainty of guilt was so pUi i. We hope that the result of the appeal to tbe Governor, and the death of Eaton and Twltchell, will have their legitimate effect io checking the murder mania. The Increase ot crime in this city has been frightful within foe last few months; and, unless the law is administered sternly and mercilessly, we shall have a succession of tragedies such a (hose for which Eaton and T wiicbell suffered We need the co-operation of the Governor, the DistrictrAttorney, the Grand Jury, and fhc law-abiding men of the oommnnity, to obtain thorough administration of justice This is our only seourity. Prompt prosecu lion, conviction by the jury, and refusal by the Governor to pardon in any case where Vanocence doeß not plainly appear, will stop (his tide of murder and robbery, and give t'> life and property that promotion which they should have in a civilized community like this. DIAHOKD cur DIAHOKD. The vexed question of the tracks on Broad street came to a sudden solution yesterday, thanks to the bungling at Harrisburg and the prompt practice of our Councils. The track* were down yesterday; they are np to-day The clever people who planned a stolen march upon (he city authorities by means of a bit of snap legislation at Harrisburg, ought to have been too smart to choose a day for the expl >- ■lon of their little mine, when Councils were in session and ready to “hoist them with their own petard. ” There be reporters in these days, and there be telegraphic wires which oarry quick news from the Legislative halls to the Chambers of Council. And so it came to pass, or ever this bit of strategy could be rushed through the second house, the counter plot was planned and executed; and while the oonnlDgfellows were chuckling in the lob bies of Harrisburg over their uncommon smartness In manipulating the fa rile legisla tors, bold Master Bosler was practidne the Grecian bend along the Broad stree tracks, to the tune of crowbar and pick, shovel and sledge. “Tbeie was a sound of revelry, by night and sb belated pedestrians passed the usually deserted precincts of Broad street, they cam * open Milesian bands, working with tha hearty good-will that men always bring to the destruction of things, in the quick execution Of the just order oi Councils. “They rend a righteous Bcntenee bv the dim and flaring lamps," and.BBthe newß spread that Councils hal flanked the Harrisburg plotters by ihW mis terly nolivily, there was a universal chorus of 'Bully for yotrl” and other poetic commin ditione. Of ooores there is b hubbub to-day in the reglone of Broad Streep aod there will bo ter laments tlonsamoog the beleaguered and blockaded warehousemen. Bat Connells j have not been fairly dealt with,and they have . done right in resenting the piece of trickery j attempted upon them at Harrisburg. Who j has broken faith with them we do not pro- , tend to say. It is very probable that the j scheme for perpetuating the Broad street nuisance was entirely unknown to many, of the bneineßß men along that street. But there was a prompt remedy needed against sash le gislation, and Councils, this time, have the town at their back, in hearty indorsement ot their course. We trust this effectual removal ot the tracks will be Followed by an equally t ffectual removal of some of the legislators that lend themselves to suoh unworthy tricks- It is time that this snap legislation at H »r -risburg against the interests of Pailadelphia was abolished. It is an Insult to this com muoity for anybody to go to the Legislature and ask for the passage of such bills as that with which Councils have dealt so sum maiily. . Now that our authorities have got their band in, we trust that they will keep an eye on Twelfth and Sixteenth streets. Tney have forbidden the removal of the pavement there for the purpose of laying a railway; but that proposed monopoly is in the hands of men who will not stop at trifles, and who wUI ride over any ordinary obstacles where there is money to be made. The Broad street les son will be a timely warning to them, and ' he cordial approbation everywhere expressed 10-day, for tbe prompt aotion of Councils last ! tight, is a sufficient guarantee that if they have occasion to remove similar obstructions ; from neighboring streets, the people will be ’. a ith them, as they undoubtedly are now. unsißDcrioss. A case has just been tried, for the seoond time, before Judge Btroud, in which the Building Inspectors were made plaintiff against tbe lessees of Concert Hal), for alleged violations of the law regulating p'aces o public amusement The suit was a frivolous one oiiginally, and became a ridiculous one, finally. The first jury disagreed, anl i' would have been wise for the real prosecu tors to have taken their case out of 0 >ur tbeo; but they chose to press it to a second trial, and alter consuming one whole d i> with the evidence and arguments, and keep ingthe jury looked up another whde diy. the verdict ha 9 been given, wher. all common-sense gave it, long ago to the defendants. The prosecutim which started off with great bravery. at the first trial, dwindled away, in th second, step by step, until the wnole case was whittled down to the solemn and mo meDtouß question of tbe right of wayoftae public through a lady's private dressing room! Here the counsel for the plnatitl made their last stand and dug their last ditch They thought the public had a right to craw under tbe stage into a rubbish hole; but the; were willing to concede that point, and even 10 admit that an open hatchway was not, in ihe eyes of the law,a regular door of exit. But the right to walk iDto a. lady's dressing room was so evidently the privilege of th public, that it was blasphemy to deny “Goosev, goosey, gander. Wnitbcr dost inoa wander? Up Btuirß, and down stairs, And lo my ludy’o chamber.” Judge Stroud heartily sustained thts view. To be sure, he admitted, when the jury, be wildered by his ruliogs and his genera management of the case, came back fo instructions,that although he had twice hear i I the case tried, he did not understand the mai question, to wit, the methrda of enteriug and leaving Concert Hall. But the venerable ,udge was very certain of one thing. Tuere are two ways, and two only, acordiog to his high authority, by which the publio have no legal right to leave an auditorium. Tuey have no right to get out of the windows | qnd they have no right to jump or fal down a hatchway. With these solitary exceptions, they have a right to hive all doors leading from an auditorium open at all limes. This ruling was abs » ute, unequivocal and unqualified. If a dro' eadsinto a lady’s dressing room, tha public have a right to it. If It is a trap-d >or in s stage, they have a right to it. If it leads to a blind closet, they have a right to it If it leads anywhere or nowhere, it matters not Stroud being judge, the public have a right to it Absurd as this sounds, and absurd as i’ undoubtedly is. It is Bhe reiterated ruling of Judge Stroud, without a pirticlo of exag geration. The jury knew bettor, of course; foi they were practical, sensible business men. The doors of exit and entrance a Concert Hall are as well understood by tht tbonsands and thousands of our citizens wb frequent it as any simple thing can be under stood by ordinary intelligences. Taey need no explanations, no diagrams, no tiresome examinations of witnesses. The law, in it* language and in its intent, is eoually plain; and yet several days of the lime of buuaess men have been wasted in the absurd effort to ciam iato the naiads of twelve sensible men the ridiculous idea that the public, who have large, convenient, well-known doors of exit provided for them at Concert Hall, have a legal right to force themselves upon the privacy of a lady’s dressing-room, or to wedge themselves into any out ds sao, whither they may bo tempted by p jkiog into private doors never intended for their use. We have no desire to be disrespectful to any member of the bench In Philadelphia, but we are forced to the conclusion, alter witnessing the oonduct of this case and the lutings of the Court, that the only real “ob struction” connected with it was produced, not by the chair or the Pugh, but by the bench. It is said that President Grant has tele graphed to Revetdy Johnson stating that hie resignation will be accepted up>n presenta tion. This is somewhat rough upon Riverdy. He has aeceptid invitations to dinner, iu tue capacity ol American minister, up to the las of Juue, and no doubt has his aole remark* for each occasion all arranged. To hj onn pel.id to atleud these repasts merely as a silly old mao, without ofll dal position, or else to break his engagements and pa.k up ani tome home, will be very mortifying. Bit he vs ill not be likely to obtain muoa sym pathy in bis distress. Like the oth ir party by the name of Johnson, he is a failure, and THE DAILY EVENING BIfLLETIN—PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, APRIL 9,1869. a good' man is heeded in his plaoe.' -- He is no wanted very badly in this country, however, land if be chooses to remain and commit | ravages upon British roaßt beef, nobody will complain. He cannot humiliate himself or I bis country any more than he b»9 done, and if he stays in England he will afford a satis j factory contrast to his successor, who cou d not be worse, but who is certain to be vastly better. The Republican victories in Rhode Island and Connecticut dispel nearly all d oubt of the ratification of the Constitutional Amendment. Rhode Island had been counted upon as oer tain to ratify, but Connecticut was placed among the doubtful States, and it was though’ that there would be enough without her. Toe accession of these two State? increases t> twenty-six the number of those that are f* i vorable to ratification. Two more will be necessary to make, the required three-fourths. Ohio elects a Legislature in October, and win be pretty sure to give a handsome Republican msjority. For the twenty-eighth and last we look either to Cal forni ior Oregon. Perhaps, however, there may be early reconstruction ..of.'Georgia, Virginia, Mississippi and Texts ait\then we can rely upon any one of these States to ratify. ' ■ - msuisiiUN tons.

In this pamphlet Mr. Parton sets forth clearly and graphically, the facts in regard to the pur chase of the Danish Islands by Secretary Seward and shows conclusively that good faith and the best Interests of onr nation require ua to com plete the purchase of these Islands immediately by paying for them. An able wiiter says: “Let America do what She will In botldiDg iron-clads and casting cannon, she can never become a first-class naval power until she acquires ports abroad; Indeed, she is but bi lping forward a change which puts her at relative disadvantage.

Mr. Morion replied that It was not a breach or faitb. iDnooiherway could the vexed ques tion of suffrage,{which tbe Democrats wanted to keep open for nse In fainre campaigns, be dually Mr. Conkliog opposed Mr. Morton’s amend ment. He odverud to Virginia and, said she bad In no manner failed to comply wltn tbe condi tions imposed. She bad a right to reconstruction on the same terms npon which the other Slate s had been admitted. Executive lestton of Hie Senate, tSpeclol Despatch to the Phila.

Forty-first contjress—First Session* Washington, April 9 t Senate.— Mr. Anthony was agiin elected Pre- ! sidenl j>io lem. In the abaenceol Mr. Co'fax. | On motion of Ur. Trumbull, the Haase bill ; authorizing the submission of the coastiintioo of Virginia, Mississippi and Texas to a vote of the people was taken 1 up. Mr. Morton offered as an additional section the jntal resolution < ffered by him tbe otner day, providing that before Virginia, Mississippi ood Texas shall be admitted to reprerent ulon lo Con grits, tbelr several Legislatures shall ratify the Fif'eenth Aon ndmeul to the Coostilallon. | Mr. Trumbull did not think it wise to add this \ si ctlon to the bill. Corgress bad already, with | grtot deliberation, passed several acls prescribing ibe conditions of reconstruction, and Reveral Slates had complied with these conditions aud be« n admitli d to representation; and for Congress now to in pose additional cooaitlons woald be a breach oi fallh wilh those people. He had no doubt that those States would ratify the Fifteenth ami rdroert without its being made a condition ol reconstruction. ~ , . . Mr. Mor oo denied that it would be a breach of fai.b. The agreement had been made between C< ogress aid ihe nnreconstrncted Slates. Con gress bad offered these States recoastroctiou upon ci rtaln coßsiderntions, but they bad re fused to accept tbe offer, and hid stood out in bosiiliiv to the government; and now it wee the right of Congriss to impose whatever c'Ocidiili ns it pleased, provided that they were rivht and just in themselves. He wonld rather see ihe pending bill fail than pass without this amendment. Tbe desire of tbe Democratic parly was to keep this question of negro suffrage open as an element of success in the election of 1872. The Democrats calculated that without the voles ol Virginia, Mississippi, Texas and ludiana, the Fifteenth amendment mußt fail of ratification, and tbe only way to defeat that result was by making its ratification a condition of the re-ad mission ol these States. Bouse On motion of Mr. Schenck, the Ssd ate amendments to tbe wblskj and tobacco bill we re taken from the Speaker’s table and noD concurrcd in, and a committee of conference re , quested. .... „ 1 Mr. Butler (Mass ), from the Judiciary Can i mittce. asked leave to report back the bill per ! milling defendants ta criminal cases in the United Slates courts to testify, and to make the State laws govern in the Uuited Btates coarts in the respi ctive Slates on questions of the competency of witnesses. Mr. Bird objected. Mr. Butler moved to suspend the rules. The rales were not suspended.
