November *». 186®. ifjii fißtfWlll OF PIBII.AOEI.FHIA. In 1149, when Philadelphia was nearly ‘ sixty years oid, its growth Biad been so slow ' that, the whole number of its houses was only 2,070. Twenty years later, in 1769, they had ’ more than doubled, the exact number being •♦,474, ami the city was beginning to feel so large that jn 1770, when •'Yankee Doodle came to town To buy a pair of -browsers, •H o swore bo couldn’t see the town, There were so many houses.” What our lievolutionary Yaukee Doodle would have thought of Philadelphia in 1860, one hundred years after it boasted its 4,474 houses, it is impossible to sumrise, -The quiet, compact little Quaker city-lias stretched out its cords and strengthened its stakes until it now • hovers nearly the - area of London, and numbers noteless than 120,000 houses! In its first sixty years two thousand houses were erected. In its last sixty years, one hun dred and sixty thousand houses'have been bniit. Wliat this enormous growth represents in mere numbers, is easily counted ; but what it means in population, in social improvement, in commercial energy, in advance in the arts • and sciences,’in. political, influence, is not so easily estimated or expressed. Philadelphia, still leavened with the once • controlling element of Quakerism, has uii doubtedly been slow - and timid in asserting her own importance, and in filling bet lull . place as the largest city on this Continent. An intense conservatism lias combined with a nar row clannishness to' retard the growth of civic force in proportion to the growth cf civic dimensions. The, war, as one of its incidental consequences, broke up much of this old, timid, suspicious provincialism, by bringing into, active play a thitherto latent but very intense feeling of loyalty among our peo ple,under the influence of which there was a very, general fe-adjustmeut of many social re lations, as well as a practical demonstration of the power and importance of Philadelphia in its relation to the whole country. Philadelphia’s 120,000 houses mean a groat deal more than a mere huge aggregation of brick and mortar spread out over a wide area of ter ritory. They mean increase of vital strength . in all that goes to make a great, prosperous and happy community. Flippant newspaper correspondents occasionally indulge in stu pid,—or witty, as the case may be,— effusions at the expense of Philadelphia, Philadelphia is too apt to be morbidly*sen sitive over such divisions, and to resent it by - equally foolish misrepresentations of Boston, -dr New-York, or Chicago. Side by side with • this sensitiveness is a still more censurable dis i position on the part of many of our own peo ple, especially prevalent among women, to in dulge, both practically and theoretically, in a notion of. .Philadelphia's inferiority to other places, which has no foundation in fact. , As is generally the case, the tmo path lies be tween these two extremes. Philadelphia, is the largest city in. America,, but it is not yet the greatest. Our aim should he at a constant and rapid growth, in posi tive force as well as size. Every exhibition of public spirit, whether by individuals or associa tions, should be encouraged and upheld. Every : enterprise that tends to bring trade or influ ence or popularity to Philadelphia should be preferred, sustained.and appreciated. Wherever we have gained eminence, fresh starting-points should be established for greater achievements. There should be no standing still, no. satisfac .tkm with present results. Instead of fretting about the ignorant or jealous criticisms of out neighbors, we should crush them out oi the way by S hold-fronted and ever-accelerated ad vance. Philadelphia is a metropolis in many .respects; but we should make it more and .more .metropolitan. Whatever greatness, whatever growth, whatever importance have been gained, should be used as so many levers lo raise Philadelphia to more greatness, growth-and importance. The people who are satisfied with everything in Philadelphia are as bad as those who are satisiied with nothing in it. Then, on,the other hand, there is needed a great correction of the opposite tendency to which we have already alluded: the disposition to underrate and decry their own city by a very large class who serve no end in the social -.and‘business economy of Philadelphia but to clog advance, discourage enterprise, retard growth,-and to promote all those elements of prosperity .everywherfe but in their own home. •“Can any good thing come out of Na aareth?” ds - the ceaseless whine of this class of moat unprofitable men and women. And although the sufficient answer is the same as of old, “Come and see,” they are so thoroughly cowed or dazzled by the pomp of Kew York, or the pretence of Boston, or the push of Chicago, out of winch the real greatness of those cities lias been created, that they are almost ashamed to own themselves Philadelphians, much...leas.to imagine that they have anything to boast of as such. ' And yet Philadelphia has achieved enough to constitute some little ground fof civic pride. We have the largest city in America, and our 120,000 bouses contain a higher average of do mestic comfort and consequent happiness than can be found elsewhere oh the face of the globe., We have the greatest concentration of manufactures in America, the extent, impor tance and high standard of excellence of which are very, little understood. We have the most diversified* and best-managed institutions of charity and benevolence in America, supplying the demands of human want and suffering in almost every conceivable form. Coming down to special points of superiority, Philadelphia has ; the largest andbest railroad (excepting,of course, tl» Pacific road); the laigeßt and most beautiful Park; the largest and best contrived opera house; the largest and finest College; the hugest and finest market-houses; the largest ' publishing hpusc; and the largest number of beautiful women in America. If the noble aumy of croakers canpot find enough to change vo* „ v , their lugubrious depreciations of Philadelphia even in what lias already been achieved, we ti list that they may soon die out by the. effect of tlieir morbid humiliation, or else live long enough to be yet convinced by her future achievements that, in spite of them, Philadel phia is a great city, of which tlie most ambi tious and exacting of her. people maybe justly proud. ANOTHER ANNEX ATION PROJECT- From San Francisco we loam that Vincent Collier has arrived in California with a petition from certain inhabitants of British Columbia, entreating President Grant to secure the an-, negation Of that territory to the United States. As this memorial Ls signed by but forty citizens of the town of Victoria, it can hardly be ac cepted as an authorized expression of the opinion of the people of the entire province. But we have very little doubt that a large mar jority of these would favor annexation, if such a thing were possible. Recently Earl Gran ville addressed a note to the authorities of British Columbia, advising them to join the fortunes of their people to those of the Can adians. But is not likely that such a project would recommend itself to the Columbians. Their position upon the Pacific coast brings them more into contact with Americans ; it is upon our people they must rely for consumption of their products, and for an active trade ; and, more than this, constant intercourse with citizens of the United States lias given them a certain sympathetic admira tion for our institutions. Annexation to the United States will give them greatness itnd prosperity ; absorption with the Canadian Do minion will check their growth, by stopping the tide of emigration, and% continuing the dis advantageous restrictions under which they labor at present in conduct- ing trade with this country. But, while we may sincerely desire to extend to the British Columbians the advantages of citi zenship, and to enlarge our possessions by the annexation of territory which will give ns con trol of the--'Pacific coast from the Gulf of , Cali fornia to the Arctic ocean, we do not perceive in what manner President Grant—to whom is petition is addressed—can help the matter lie might, perhaps, recommend to Congress the purchase of the province; but there are two insuperable' objections to this: first, we have no money to spare even for so good an object; second it is very certain that Great Britain would not sell the territory, if we were to make an oiler for it, cash in hand. ■lf the. Columbians do not choose to join the Dominion, they will be compelled' to re main in their present isolated position, as a helpless dependency" of Great Britain- That country has always been jealous of onr superior influence upon the Pacific coast, and she would he certain to use eveiy endeavor to prevent the consummation of a project which would exclude her entirely from that coast, and blot out the boundary line which was once the subject of bitter disptute. The only method left to the unhappy Columbians is revo lution. If they will declare their independence and secure it, we will be glad tp receive them. Until the arrival of that veiy distant period, it will he a waste of labor to appeal to the United States. If Mr. Collier will visit England and implore Mr. Gladstone and Parliament, he will at least be more nearly in the true path to success, however improbable a satisfactory re sult may be. DOMINION t'KOIIBLIiS. Nova Scotia and Newfoundland are electing anti-confederation candidates for office. An nexation parties exist in the provinces of Que bec and Ontario, and British Columbia is praying for annexation to the United States. But worse than all these troubles of the Do minion of Canada and of British'authority in America is the open rebellion that exists in the Red River territory, bordering on Dakotah. Mr. McDougall, who was sent out by the Dominion government as Governor of the Territory, has been confronted by an armed iree and compelled to take refuge in Da- It appears that most pf the white inhabitants of the Red River territory are of French race. They have acquired a good many of the notions as to government of their American neighbors. They do not like to have their laws made for them at Ottawa, and they demand, before in covporation into the Dominion, guaranties of certain rights as follows: 1. The right to elect their own Legislature. 2. The Legislature to have the power to pass all laws of a local na ture, by a two thirds vote, over the veto of the Executive. 3. A free homestead and pre-emp tion law similar to that of the United (States. 4. A portion of the public land to be donated for the support of sclioolstiiid the construction of l oads and bridges. 0. Treaties with the I several tribes of Indians calculated 'tp secure peace and quiet on the frontier. These demands, it will be seen, are for just such a government as the settlers in our terri tories are in the habit of obtaining from the government at Washington. Governor Mc- Dougall has no authority to promise that such [-demands will he complied with. Fie is, in fact, without any authority,' as he has not yet been swofn into office, having intended toe go tluough that, ceiemony on reaching the terri tory. He has, of course, reported his. expulsion to tire Dominion authorities, and troops are expected to be sent to his assistance. In the present temper of the inhabitants, this is likely to make matters still worse, and there are appre hensions of bloodshed. The “insurgents,” as they are called, were, five hundred strong some days ago, and their numbers must be increas ing. The Dominion cannot spare, from Its small British garrisons, troops enough to put down such a body of meii, and if tile militia should he called out to coerce the Red river men, there would bexdanger of disaffection in the old provinces. The authorities at Ottawa evidently have their hands full of veiy difficult woik all over the Dominion. A worn* FOtt THE BIANAOEItS. After all, there is something to ho said in be half of the theatrical managers who give up. their stages to the presentation of sensational trash. For some entirely unaccountable reason it appears that the publicwill not support legiti mate drama of certain kinds with remu nerative liberality. Mr. Forrest will attract immense audiences; so will Mr. Booth; but neither of them is more successful in this respect than Lotta or Lydia Thompson ; ,whil« such men as y'li. L. Davenport or John Brougham, both of wlioih are almost unrivaled in certain lines of business, play, night after night, to empty benches. Managers cannot' have Mr. Forrest constantly, and if such a tiling were possible, he would not be as profitable as I might be supposed, for he exacts half the groa THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIK-PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1869. l •• ", , 1 receipts for each perforr/iauce. As managers' exist and transact Jbusifteas rather for the pur- ■ pose of making rnoaey than to minister to the. intcUcctnaltafites •of the aesthetic few, it 1 can not be. regarded as absolute evidence of de pravity if, instead of presenting standard plays to small audiences, they , prefer to engage Lotta and Lydia Thopipsorttoflll their trea suries, and ill the interval offer to the public spectacular nonsense, which disgusts intellec tual people, hut fills the theatres with gaping crowds Who care more for a smart bit of car penter’s work or a scene-painter’s daub than for well drawn characters and Witty dialogue, lire. .Drew, for instance;,has a first-rate company, and she would, we know, greatly prefer to present the higher class, of plays in an artistic manner.; But she as serts, we hear, that she cannot produce stand ard comedies, new plays of substantial merit, or even Shakespeare, for a longer period than, a fortnight with profit. Cash-being her chief consideration, ahd properly so, she caters to the degraded popular appetite with such pieces as Lost at Sea . Mss Keene lias gone through the same experience. She has offered to the public a series of performances of the very highest character—performances of which she has a right to be proud. Her efforts have been received with comparative coldness, and her success has not been what it should have been by any means. We cannot blame her, either, that she has ibrsaken the higher path, and turned into the crooked ways of. sensational ism. Elegant performances do not pay if the benches are empty; and however much her cravings for high art may lie satisfied by them, the pockets of her actors have stronger cravings which will not be so easily appeased. Of course these considerations do not relieve an honest journal from its obligation to speak .the exact truth of sensational and trashy dramas when they ’are presented. A critic cannot test a play, or a performance of. it, by the size of the audience. If they are poor, he must say so, even if the spectators indulge in frenzied applause. The standard must not be ■ lowered whatever the practice is. Mr. Daven port and Mr. Brougham are good, whether people go to see them or not ; Sheridan’s and Goldsmith’s comedies are entertaining, no mat ter whether they attract or repel; and Shakes peare’s reputation is rather beyond the ap proval or condemnation of any given succes sion of audiences. If the people want non sense and will have nothing else, it is reason able that managers should choose to yield to their demands rather than stick to high art and go into bankruptcy,' heroic'''sacrifices to their refined tastes. We may , deplore the viciousness of the popular appetite, and strive valiantly to inspire a taste for better things; but while that appetite exists we can hardly confine our denunciations to the managers who accept the situation with Christian resig nation. ’ The fine weather of yesterday made Thanks giving a real and a general holiday in Philadel phia. The churches were all open and well attended, in the morning. The streets were thronged with happydooking people in the latter part of the day. The military parade was remarkably fine aud was much enjoyed by the countless thousands in the streets. .The thanksgiving festivals in public institutions and private families were abundant. The places Of amusement were well filled in the evening, and altogether the Thank-giving of 18(i9 was a grand success. , The Philadelphia Branch of the American Social Science Association is now formally or ganized, as wall be seen by reference to our local columns. The list of members includes many prominent and influential citizens, and their number will, .no .doubt, be largely in creased as the Association becomes better known.

Ti our (Mflvmtn'tind Corrtsponiltnts : The surprising development of our national resources and the rapidity with which the government is now en ahled to reduce the natiopal debt, by weekly purcbaece, render it apparent that the time is approaching whon the Five-Twenty bonds may bo funded at not over four or four end » half per cent. Interact. . Meanwhile their high price, as compared with other ciflßßeß of eecuritica pnylDg ah equal rote of interest, ia leading to general inquiry for more profitable formo of investment in v;hieb nio'boy may bo safely Invested. During the war tho necessities and peril of tlio govern ment, and tho consequent cheapness of its securities, rendered them so attractive that, from this cause, com bined with the patriotic raitli of . the people in their safety, they absorbed almost, the entire floating capital of the country, and diverted attention from other classes of securities which had before been deemed stifllciiipUv conservative and SQUUtI to meet tho wants of. the most cautious investors. ‘ ■Tlio government is no longer a borrower. It no longer needs tlio country’s capital, but do'ires gratefully nml honorably to repay it. The rapid hccumulatlou of capital for investment, and tbo reduction of tlio national debt aud Improvement of the national credit-rendering it certain that hereafter |fet a comparatively low rate of Inter out can be derived from investment In government bonds Is compelling the search fur other safe aud well-guarded channels into which capital tint employed in busince* may wisely flow. The enterprises of Peace, no less noedfnl'in. their time and plate,for the common welfaro. than wero the waste and cost of War, now call for tlio capital which the go vernment no longer needs, and offer fur its use a remu neration which tlio government need no longer pay - aud in seme casea, a security as (stable and enduring as the faith of the nation itself, The desire to capitalize tho premium which liny now be realized upon Five-Twenty bonds, and which a ma terial decline in Gold toward tar, and the ability of tl.e Government to fund them at a lower rate of interest,may at any time extinguish, Is felt hy many holders who de sire some satisfactory assurance as to which of the many lower-priced securities in the market would afford tho necessary safety to justify an exchange. - The applications for information and advice which are addressed to us daily, shoyv how universal is tho desire for this assurance, as to whßt forms of investment more profitable than Government-securities at present market rates, are entitled tq the confidence of investors. ' Tlio pressure of this wnut has led us to feel the import ance of directing our own attention as bankers, our large experience,and our facilities for obtaining p liable inhumation—to the work of supplying it lu some moa - sure, and to offer the results of our Inquiries to .those who may l.e disposed to confide, in our good faith aud judgment.

Tuking the near est illustration, th« same season in toft, money on call was worth all sorts, of extravagant rates,, while the banks wore bo impoverished that they exhibited button million? above the legal reserve, when their liabilities were in the vicinity-of two hun* drrd millions of dollars. We have had, of coarse, a re currence of thwo nigh rate** since. Iw the week or two succeeding the Bept« mber panic there wan cren creator aggravation to borrowers; but the reason this tuwi was not the scarcity of fnmto bo much as the fears of lender,?, many of whom, rather than riwtc their money at such a time, kept it unemployed. Tho panic, however, has gone by, and much of its worat features have been buried in that nhllvioif to which Wall street f'oou consigns everything. Tho time Jmconm around again fur’activo money. Tbe lenders who hat a been w'ahin:; all summer and toll for an eighth and quarter per repf. pur day have been grievously disap pointed, Hix w«N'gs of tho active teason have gone by, and it to impospible to obtaia more than the legal rat** of hitere«t. The fact to, active money has been-discounted. Wall street always dtecrmnU events long beforehand. The capimlistH who formerly were cortent to employ their money In various enferpriws—huiMing contracts, bonds and mortgage? aiid tlio lik'.-—liavo been tempted by the prospect ofcaruing big rates ol intcreat without any trouble or vexation, vicuply by lending It at a wide margin on collaterals.

A Freight Train Collides with tbePull man Fast Train—Escape ol’the Passen gers. [From the Cheyenne (Wyoming) Argne, Nor. 13.1 A railroad accident occurred near this city at about 6 o’clock yesterday morning, which might have been attended with serious loss of life hut for the presence of mind of the engi neers and the superior strength of the Pull-' man care. A freight tram was started out from this city, going eastward. It is alleged, that tlie conductor started onts. on his own responsibility, contraiy to orders and instructions. His train met the Pullman lightning express at a point about two miles cast of this city. It being down grade the freight could not stop. The engineer of the Pullman train showed great judgment and presence of mind by staying at his post and reversing the action of his engine. There sult of the collision was tho "almost total de struction of the freight train.lts locomotive was nearly ruined and the ears fearfully broken lip, the wreck strewing the track for rods. The damage to the passenger train was very slight. 'Tlie drawheads of two cars were broken and the pilotof the engine destroyed. Strange to say, no person was injured on either train. The Pullman train was detained about three hours, until the track could be cleared and some slight injuries repaired. A large party of men was immediately despatched from this city to the scene of the accident, and speedily cleared atv.-iy the debris of the wrecked cars,so as to permit the passage of the Pullman train. The conductor of the freight is blamed for his unwarrantable conduct in starting out his train upon his own responsibility. AVe are informed this is the second accident which has oc curred to his train within the past two weeks. The result of this accident proves the staunch ness of the Pullman palace car. How the fast train conld withstand the shock of meet ing a heavy freight train, on a down grade, without sustaining more damage, is a question hard to solve, and the fact can only be ac counted for on the presumption that the superior strength, and workmanship of the palace train saved it from total destruction, and preserved its passengers from a sudden and terrible death. SPECIE PAYMENTS. The Administration—lmportant Tetters. The Hon. E. G. Spaulding, generally re garded as the author of the Legal Tender Act, and lately before the public its the author of a . very-valuable financial liistory of the war,: has just furnished the Buffalo Comma-cial'Adver tiser, for publication, the following three pri vate letters, one of which, at least, ihay be re garded as probably foreshadowing the policy of the Administration in urging a speedy re turn to specie payments: FROM ATTORNEY-GENERAL lIOARi Washington, October 15,186!). — Hon. IC. G. Spdtihliruj: My Dear Sir : I have the 1 honor to the receipt’of your letter of, the 6tli inst., and with it a copy of your Finan cial History of the War, for which I desire to return my thanks. f ' The constant pressure upon my timo has prevented me from giving the book more than a cursory inspection,but it seems to be a valu able contribution to our financial history, aud throws considerable light upon the important question of a return to specie payments. I am oneofthose who believe that it was the in terest as well sis the duty of the nation to re turn at once to the true and solid standard of' value as soon as active hostilities ceased; that we should have treated the currencij as we dia our armies —regarding the volunteers and„ the greenbacks alike as necessities of war, to be dispensed with as fast as possible on the re turn_of peace. I think we made a great mis take in not doing so ; that the shortest method was the safest and best; that the only way to reach the object is Jby a steady and persisteut contraction ot tlie currency—a painlul process whenever it comes, no doubt, but harder aud worse for us the longer it is delayed. I'hopethat Congress will address itself with courage* and constancy to the solution of tho problem as soon as it meets; aud will feel as sured that the American people have intelli gence enough to support those who do - it. .My views on tho subject are of little importance to anybody, but as an American citizen, I should be sorry aud ashamed to find my coun try unable ana unwilling, in a timo of peace and prosperity, ta provide for its over-due paper. Very respectfully, E. It. Ho.ut. FROM HORACE MAYNARD, OF TENN. - Knoxville, Tenn., Nov. 3,180!).— H0n. E. G. Spaulding— Dear Sir : Thanks for tho-tiook, as well as the copy sent me. It is well-timed and much needed. So successful were the financial arrangements during- the war, that peopieTnclihe' to' regard aA liiitomatip, self-accomplished, with no special credit to anybody. , * * * _ * * As a result, we now have the best currency ever known in the nation.
