AL REFORM TICKET•
We are living under a national Reform Gov
ernment. A great work of reconstruction is
going On;'all through the civil service of the
country, andUTill be prosecuted with the same
stubborn resolution which gave Gen. Grant
his great victories Over the Rebellion. It is a
work of tremendous difficulty. Under An
drew JOhnSOit demoralization spread like
pestilence through almost every branch of the
civil service, and to turn a pure stream of re
forni through all the channels of office, and re
store them to their old condition of integrity,
economy and efficiency, is a task which might
well engross the Whole attention and energy of
tie Government if there were nothing else to
be done. The task has been boldly and bravely
begun, and the whole country wishes it a com
plete success. Mistakes must necessarily be
made in the first running of the machinery of
reform, but the people believe in the honesty
of President Grant's purpose to accomplish
what he, promised. They believe that where
wrong appointments have been made, they will
be corrected, and that we are really to see a re
turn to something like an bonpub conceclon of
the Public revenues, and an honest discharge
of the public service.
But if we are to have reform in the general,
we must also have reform in the particular. If
we axe to. enjoy the blessing of a national re
construction of the civil service, we must', see
to it that in all State and local'affitirs the'‘.ittte
principle of reformation i - fairly siiii toneStly .
applied. We hope against hope, if we look for
a pure national administration, working side
by side with a 'corrupt or extravagant or Medi=
cient State or municipakadministmtion. These
different sets of machinery are too intimately
blended in all their workings to permit, of any
successful operation except when they work
under one harmonious system.
We are coming close upon the primary elec
tions, when the nominees for the State and
municipal•Repuhlican tickets are to be. chosen.
Are these to be Reform tickets,or are they to be
made up . on.the suicidal system of trusting to
party drill and organization to elect the same
class of men who have heretofore brought the
Republican party to the very verge of defeat
and destruction?
We hear of men of both parties, famous as
'.Ring"-leaders in legislative corruption, who
are busily at work "setting up" their nomina
tions for the coining campaign. We hear of
other projects for pushing interior, inefficient
and unknown men into oflice, even in districts
ivhere the political balance is so close as to
ice success.or defeat turn upon the simple
question of the relative personal merits of the
candidates. We hear, as yet, of no distinct,
organized :movement to bring fbrward a fresh
and better class of men for office; But we
hear; and any one can bear, who will listen,
the .unmistakable ground swell of popular de
termination' to have Reform—real, honest,
efficient. Reform.
It is needless to remark • that this Reform
cannot be looked for from the men now in
efliee. The honest portion of them are in the
minority, and are therefore powerless. The
corrupt portion of them have no wish for
Reform, because they will suffer by it. They
prefer thrusting themselVes upon a ticket and
risking its defeat, to ensuring its success by
making it intrinsicallystmng and popular by
the good names that are prit upon it. The
people demand Reform, and so do the decent,
respectable politicians._ The men who stand in
Ste way:. are . the greedyi,unprincipled. • sharks--
who swarm round the•ship. of State only for
the sakeof the plunder and the prey which they
may snatch from it.
We have a class of politicians in the Republi
can party who are honest, well-tiled, respectable
-. and lionoredeitliens. If they are numerically
in the minority, they have the advantage 'of
njoylngthe confidence and respect of the peo
ple.Thebe gentlemen fiave, it largely in their
power to influence and Control the coming
nominations, and we call earnestly upon the
to exert that influence:4 this time for the geed
of thegeriblican party and of the P'ublic ser
vice.,
The Than Lenore;-what la it doing for
Morin ? That powerful body has, in former
years, exercised, a powerful influence upon
public tontiment.- anti - action. Lec,. It speak
again. , „We itn.., -Leagde
will not do, as to the . queltion of Tieform, but
_its poSitiOn; ',not be simply a negative
'2•lt shoUld demand,.in the name - of the
whole pe - oPle of Philiidelphi‘that no suspected
'Man, no man upon whom reSts the slightest .
taint of past infidelity to his public dii4,
incompetent or dishonest man shall' be ogered
fdr the sufliages of the . . people. We want a
renewal of past victories, and the path to it
lies only . through the straight and narrow way
of Radicalßeform.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
We hear of a project to be broached in Coun
cils; this afternatin, for the subdivision of the
Ninth Wai:d. This Ward has, at present, eight
Election Divisions, which it is proposed to cut
up into fourteen. Why is this to be done?
brief glance at the vote at the last October
election shows that it - is net to be done because
the necessities of an increased population de
mand it. On the Mayor's vote the Ward
stood thus:
Divisions. Rep. Dem. Total.
First 147 149 ' 296
Second 23.5 242 477
Third . 221 168 389
Fourth .). 100 . 217 407
Fifth 303 158 *461
Sixth & 316 201 517
Seventh * 325 217 542
Eighth • 213 - 418 . 631
*Temilorarily increased by inmates of Sol
diers' Home.
. _
It is evident from the above figures that
there is no necessity for the division of any of
these precincts, unless it be the Eighth, in
which there is too large a preponderance of
Democratic votes to Make it likely that Repub
nem Councils are anxious to increase the
power of their adversaries there.
We trust that the subject will be : fairly dis
cussed and explained in Councils .this after
noon. There is to be a change in the represen
tation of the Ninth Ward in Select Council,. in
consequence of Mr. Stokley's appointment to
the AssesSorship of Internal Revenue, and
as it is of considerable iMportance that such a
successortoMr. Stokely should -be nominated
as will pipperly represent that important Ward,'
there will naturally be -a close scrutiny : of any
movement which may see"fxtto bear upon the
result. We feel very Sure that Councils will
not commit themselves to the unwise policy of
re-districting any part of the city for the mere
purpose of promoting any private political ar
rangements, and unless it can be conclusively
shown that the wants of the population actu
ally deMand this subdivision, (and the last re
turns certainly do not indicate such a demand,)
we trust that the. project will WI through.

TIPURBDAY, May W.—At the last boast, yesterday, there
wee another panic in gold, with a rapid jump upward,
and the movement is still in the same direction. 'What
will be the end of it, it is hard to foresee, but there can
be no doubt of the fact that the financial policy of the,
Government has'contributedmnch to the gold movement':
_and the advance in the, prices' of everything measured by'
it. The time is approaching for the collection of some 25
millions oldollars of incon.e tax, by which the treasury
reserves will he inflated to something like our...hundred
and thirty millions. The policy of throwing this moun
tain of gold into vaults, idle,' whilst we - have /a debt of
twenty-six hundred millions weighing upon us, is too
preposterous, and we hope that measure's will be rapidly'
employed to reduce it to ten or twenty millions, which . . -
-- would - reduce the publie - fiebra - Bitniift - ,d millions, with
bayingtf Some six millions of interest.
The currency market id without any new feature of
public !Merest.
Governments are quite active and steady,at last night's
quotations. Gold opened ut 14334 and went up to
and at 11.50 A. M. is selling at 1447.4•

Board this morning in the speculative she res.with a gene

May 19.—T0-day gold advanced to 144'. This is the
Most direct way of-Indicating the character of affairs in
Wallstreet during the last eight haunt. The dealingtliti
the precious metal have not only been upon a very ex

very steady, between 141% and 142. Bet the " who

In the first place a decline in bonds in London of .% was
used to create dintrnst in 'the minds of operators. The
Cable following with 84.14 as the price at Frankfort—a
fall of over two per cent: since yesterday—the agitation
became extreme. As noon, . however, as It was
discovered that the dende)] of - yesterday
Should have read 54%, instead of 86%—it mistake
Made in deciphering by the key—there was a com

sorts of material from Washington—rumors of Cabinet
dissensions ; reports that the President had decided tor ac

great proantre Was being brougnt to bear upon Secretary
lioutwell to I nduce him to cease his sales orgold and pur
chases of bonds. Meantime the English steamer had
arrived and her mane containing the newspaper details
of the effect of - Senator Sumner's speech in Great Britain
were brought into requisition to further the ends
of the gold ' bulls." Although the news watt eleven days
old and its effect had been felt fully - ten days ago, when
Our special despetches from ,London gave the public an

rate of discount. The scene Inthe Gold Room during
the afternoon was a very lively one. ' The crowd was in
cessant, and the aparent • brought back memo
ries of the wild specplation of the war
days. The fluctuations were so numerous that several
pages of "Nersereau'or book" were covered with the
figures of record. The price changed as' often as three
times in a single minute. While the "bulls" have had

itself, however and the success of the counter move

upon the extent of the i nterest.
The money market was without essential change. On
government collaterals large amounts wereloaned at silt
per cent., but the rate is quotable at' six to'seven. On
stocks the full legal figu re was generally demanded, but
a great many transactions took place at six per cent., es

were made as follows: 846,000 registered 62's, at 116.74;

at 114.67; 30,000 registered . 64A, at 11619%, and 8704,000

the 62's tonched 12211. The 67's sold at 120%.
The foreign quotatious and thei uneasiness cleated by
the use of the English editerhasebeVe referred to led to
a ‘reakerfeeling in the afternoon ends' reaction in '67'e
to 115. , The currency- bonds, reflecting the advance in
gold, were correspondingly lower. The "short" interest
in governments was largely Increased to-day. Alt the
issues are lending - at merely nominal rates of interest
On the currency collateral'',
Cash gold was in good 'demand. and loans for carrying
were made at rates ranging from 7to 4 per cent. The
disbursements of coin interest by the Aesistarit-Treasurer
were 8183,973. To-morrow the Secretary of the Treasury
will sell another million of gold to the highest bidder,
proposals to be submitted to Mr. Van Dyck, at the Sub-
Treasury.
The news oldie expected dishandimment of the militia
in Tennessee produced a reaction in the feeling of the
market toward the bonds of that State, and there was a
recovery in prices. New North Carolinas were weak,
but the rest of the Southern list closed steady.
The fifth annual report of the National Bank of Com

The very inclement weather, which is generally ob

transactions in stocks. The excitement a portion of the
time was hardly Inferior to that In the Gold Boom.

Goldwin Smith on the Situation.
From Mr. Goldwiri Smith's great speech at
Ithaca New ,York, yesterday, 'we make the
following further extract:
The impression seems to prevail that the English
press In nut giving Mr. Sumner - a speech in full (which it
is said not to have done). has been.inlluenced by a fear of.
its possible effect upon the minds of our people - . If I
know anything of tbe English people, the ,, Governmeut,
to rouse them to fierce- and unanimous resistance, has
only to circulate that apeech throughout the land. A'
whole nation is accused of entering into a conspiracy
fur the subversion of a friendlyi)owSr, of
pfro
tecting and encouraging piracy, of itself sending
out pirates. of lending an infamous aid, in
contravention of its professed principles,
to the most immoral of all causes, and told that it
has righteously incurred immeasurable penalties, both
in the way of fine and humiliation. Does Mr. Sumner
think that he is declaiming against some monster of his
tory, who Is dead and can feel no more, or does he know
that he is pouring insults into living hearts? I have not
felt such a sense of wrong since I read the libels on
America in some English newspapers at the time of
the civil war; but those libels were the work of'
anonymous and irresponsible writers, wham calamities
cannot touch the honor of man or nation. This is the
speech of the organ of the Senate delivered with the
concurrence of all his colleagues. Insults are not
rendered less bitter when they are followed by pro
fessions of a desire for concord which, coming in the
train of insults, becomes an insult in itself; nor is the
sting taken out of the threat of war by putting it into
the mouths of other
_persona, while the orator -himself
takes the fine part of the Archangel of Peace. lam per
suaded that the treaty might have been rejected without
causing any irritation in England, and negotiations
might have been renewed in a perfectly ami
cable spirit, and with a cordial desire to
give you satisfaction on the part of the
British nation if the organ of your Senate had been a
speaker less unconscious of the existence of xelf-respect
and reneltivenesi, to honor in other men. I told - you, my
friends, at the commencement of my address that It was
a rash undertaking which you sanctioned by your pres
enc.) here: and of all the things which I have said this is
the only thing which will have commanded your respect.
I hope never to speak again on any_ contro
verted lineation bordering upon politics. My short
public life if it can be dignified with that hams,
has been bounded by the American struggle and the
struggle for the extension of the suffrage in t Deland,
Which was closely connected with the American struggle,
and has been greatly influenced by its result. My first
speech inpublic was made against the Alabama; this, I
trust will be my last. I repeat that there is no living
Englishman who has more reason to be grateful and at
tached to America than I have,
_but a man ' s attachment
to an adopted country. is worthless if he has no regard
for the honor of his own.
THE ALDERMEN'S SEALS.
COMMON PLEAS—Judge . Allison.—Under a
recent act of Assembly th Aldermen of the
city of Philadelphia are required to have a
seal. The difficulty has been in regard to the
device, some - proposing to take the coat-of
armsfl of the city, others that of the State.
Finally, the question was übmitted to Judge
Allison, who decided as fo ows :
- By an act of the Legislature passed on the 12th day of
March, 18ti9, the Aldermen of the cities of Philadelphia
and Lancaster ate dliected to provide public, alderman ic
seals, and to have engraved thereon the Brim of the Com
monwealth, with the name. surname aud office of the
Alderman using the same, with the place of his resi
dence.
The Aldermen are not able to determine the vexed
question os to what device constitutes the "arms of the
Commonwealth," and ask for instructions.
- -
To this question it not easy te furnish a satisfactory
answer, there being nothing of description or impression
to which access can be had, or which has a known exist
ence, that enables-us to speak with any reasonable degree
of certainty on the subject. The State - Department at
Harrisburg has been searched in vain, and all that re
mains is a mere scrap of history, which indicates the
time when the arms of the State were engraved for the
use of ttreCommenwealth.
The Executive Council in 1786 authorized a Mr. Penot
to procure to be engraved the-"arms of the State" iu
Paris. This Mr. Penot did. and by letter from Nantes to
the Council notified them that he had forwarded the en -
gray I ngs to be delivered to them in Philadelphia, No
thing is said of the device Which , was to stand for the
armorial designation, called the "Arms of the Conunon
wealth."
.
Upon the greet seal of the State, which, by the act of
literal 12, 1791, is in the keeping of the Secretary of the
Commonwealth, is engraved a shield, and wreath, and
it is by this seal the signaturi of the Governor to all
the public acts is attested. The same device is engraved
on the seals of county officerit, - which are required to con
fosse to the seal of the Commonwealth, and these are all
destitute of the supports which upon our arms consist of
the horses; and I bud iu a letter of the Secretary of State
upon this subject.the stnternent that engravers say that
in heraldry the supports are no necessary part of tire de
vice; and this opinion is confirmed by those most familiar
with the subject of whom" have been- able to make the
inquiry.
- The popular representation iitthe arrits of tireGetionon-
Wealth, includes the horses, the attitude and position of
which is not always uniform; but 1 ani not advised of any
use or recognition of-the seal of the Commonwealth, the
official keepenpf it, which has anything more than the
shield, wreath, eagle, and legend on it; and this fact ought
to be decisive of the question us to what constitutes the
Arms of the Commonwealth, which the Aldermen were
directed to employ . The Legislature may fairly be pre-
Slimed to have had this fact in mind, when they referred
to the arms of the State, and to have intended that such
device as had been in use by the Executive Department
of the Government, so long that the memory of man
rumwth not to the contrary, should be_cegraveduri the
A hiermanic scale.
The supports , which, in common representation of the
arms, are added, and which some of the fladermen have
had engraved upon their seals, would not render invalid
the documents or official papers attested by it. This was
decided, in Jenks-vs. The liank, 4 W. and 9.,511. The
act of 1791 directed the arms of the State to be engraved
on notorlal Beata. This command had not, in the case
helot . ° the Court, been strictly complied with . The Court
say - it would be going too far td hold the official., proceed
hags thus-certified-null -and void. —The -statute was re,
garded as directory merely in Its provieions., •
•In Griffith vs. Block, S. and R., 160,.a certificate of
a notarrin a fdivign country of the proof before him, by
two •Wlinessesof a power of attorney, relating to the sale
of _laud in Pennsylvania was held not to be sufficient.
The declidon goes on the ground of a neglect to observe
the directions of the act of 1704. :The execution was not
proved before the.notary nor certiffedunder the
no m wise or public seal of the city - of Rotterdam.' This in no wise
conflicts with thalater decision InJenkaNs. The Bank.
• The conclusion from these premises would seem to fol
low, that the arms which the Legislature directed to be
11Ped Was the device (Ingramd on the great seal of the
State, and that this device wait intended to, lie referred to ;
as the arms of the Commonwealth: , It would be •dadra-
ble that all the AldermanieSeals sheath' conform to this
device; but as there is no ree4wil or atithoritative stand.
and by which le determine whether the device on the
seal is an exact copy of the arms , which' were eneravisl
.by-alirection•of i tho.-Exticutiyo-(kiuneil-ln.•l7Ag r andasit.
does not seem to be essential to an armorial design
whether the supports are added or 'Striated, and -looking
at the question As It was decided in 'Jenks vs. The Bank,
we think the Aldermenic Seal would 40 (Cgood seal with
or without the supports. • •
• The remaining portion of the section ought to be liter
ally complied with,• because there is no ambiguity AR to
the language or meaning: The legend must consist of

The President and the Alabama Claiths
The. President and the Alabama Claims.
[ Special Peepatch to the Phila. Evening Bulletin:]
WAsitmorOis - , May 20.—The despatch of
Tuesday last regarding Mr. Motley's instruc
tions on the Alabama claims has elicited a great
many comments here in official circles, and
from what has been said your , correspondent
is enabled not only to maintain the correctness
of his statements, but to give other interest..
ing factspertaining to this subject. •
It is said by some of the besbinformed men,
who are in a position to know whereof they
speak, that the reticence of President Grant
in regard to foreign affairs, and his extreme
reserve to deal with those foreignquestions
which occupy the attention of the public mind
docErnot come from weakness or hesitancy on
his part, but that he feels that just so long as
executive action is entirely subordinate to the
will of the Senate he .can do,nothing., He
takes similar ground, therefore, in regard to
the Senate controlling our foreign relations to
that assumed by him when the question of the
reeal of the tenure-of-office bill came up in
Congress..So long, therefore, as the British
government can ask him what reason there is
to suppose that in case he should carefully pro.
pare a treaty it would receive even the atten
tion of the Penate, he thinks it would be use
less to attempt to negotiate one. He
feels that he is fettered, not because
the Senatehas the right to
discuss, rejector,
ratify a treaty made bythe
Executive,but from the factthat they virtually ,
have entire control of foreign affairs, which
was assumed under the last administration,
and of which they have in many cases made
most reckless use. Under these circumstances
lie has resolved to wait the_judgment which
the people will Inost assuredly pass upon the
queation of Senatorial assumption, when they
corne to fully understandit. When this mat
ter has been decided by them,and when things
are brought back to their former condition,
it will be time for him to take more decided,
steps.
There is no longer any doubt but what the
Sandwich Island reciprocity treaty and San
Juan convention, which were both postponed
by a decided majority in the Senate, notwith
standing the most strenuous and able opposi-,
tion of Senator Stunner, were brought about --
and the votes of Senators controlled by
a powerful and well-organized lobby.
In the Sandwich Island treaty case the sugar
interest controlled the votes of a majority of
Senators, while the San Juan Convention
owed its postponement to the Pacific Rail
road lobby, which, from the first, showed
a determination to defeat it. Thus
under the regime instituted by the extraor
dinary assumptions of power by the Senate, a
treaty may he defeated by the very men who
force upon Congress such monstrous ineastdes
as the Copper Tariff bill.

MADRID, May 20.—Despatches have been
received here, announcing. that about two thou
sand of the adherents of Queen Isabella, under
Gasset and Pezuela, have assembled at Per
pignan city, in France, on the Spanish frontier.
At last accounts they , were nearly reariy to
cross the border. The Government has taken
the necessary step to prevent such invasion if
poosible.
MUNICH, May 20.—The elections recently
held here resulted generally in favor of the
union' of North and South Germany.
WASHINGTON May 20.—Private advices re
ceived from Cubal to-day from. both Cuban
and Spanish sources . , represent affairs as very
favorable for the insurgents. The. western
part of the . Island, which has thus £sr been
very quiet, was beginning to show signs of
fevolting: A vessel from Yucatan had landed
our hundred men, well armed, on- the West
ern coast, and these were rapidly persuading
the native Cubans and negroes to join
in the insurrection. In the , Central
Department many of the Spanish volunteer
soldiery were deserting and joining the insur
gents, under promises to receive larger wages
than'were paid by the Spanish Government.
Many of the. Spanish officers were also openly
expressing dissatisfaction, and threatening to
leave the island or refuse to do duty longer.
The Cuban emicsaries were at work among
them, and hoped before long to produce an
open revolt among the Spanish troops. The
Cubans here have never before appeared as
sanguine of success as they do to-day over the
news received.
Secretary Boatmen's Financial Polley.
[Special Despatch to the Phila. Evening Bulletin.]
WAsirmorow, May 20.—The preasure
brought to bear upon Secretary Boutwell to
have him change his policy of selling gold and
buying bonds is not likely to produce the de
sired end. He gave a very decided answer
this morning to a prominent gentleman, that
it was not his intention to change his present
policy for sometime to come, at least, if at all.
At noon to-day there were upwards of ninety
millions of dollars in coin in the Treasury, and
the prospects are that this amount will in
crease before the end of the month, instead of
diminishing. Notwithstanding the sale of one
million dollars per week, the surplus on hand,
over and above what is actually needed in the
vaults, is estimated at thirty-five millions of
dollars, and the Secretary is considering
whether to dispose of this amount gradually
and purchase bonds with the proceeds. The
speculators here seem ill at ease at the firm
ness of Mr. Boutwell and his refusal to yield
to the political influences which they bring to
bear upon him.
