EVENING BULLETIN.
Tnesdny, November 33. 1860.
the hew circuit judgeship.
. , In tlie appointment of the additional Judge
for the United States District Court for the Cir
cuit of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, there is
■a naturally strong feeling that the” selection
.should be made from the bar or bench of Phil
iadelphia. In all distribution of Government
'Appointments or patronage, it is fair and rea
sonable that regard should he had to a bal
ance of honors between the'States concerned;
'and there is such a balance due, just now, to
This great State, the keystone
and the hottest battle-ground of the Republican
party, is entitled to a full representation in all
departments of the Government. Under the
administration of President Grant, Penn
sylvania was honored with the Navy
portfolio and the Russian mission, and the ap
pointments were. accepted and appreciated as
becoming compliments to the important and
honorable position of the State toward tiic
Administration and the Republican party.
But Mr. Borie resigned, and the Navy portfolio
went to New Jersey, where it was most judi
ciously bestowed upon the present' excellent
and popular Secretary. Republican Pennsyl
vania is thus left without a representative in
the Cabinet, and this is an additional reason
- why she should have the filling of one of the
new seats on the Supreme Bench.
But there is a better- and more permanent
reason why Philadelphia should have this new
judgeship, and that is because we have pre
tusely the light man to fill this important post.
Without wishing to make any invidious dis
tinction in a profession which has so many
■ shining lights in Philadelphia, it is safe to say
' that President Grant can -confer this appoints
went nowhere where the judicial ermine will'
fall more gracefully or appropriately than upon
tife shoulders of the lion. J/. Russell Thayer,
Judge of the District Court of this State.
Judge Thayer seems to be specially gifted,
both by nature, legal -attainment, and judicial
experience, for this position, llis reputation is
wide-spread as an able lawyer, a cool, dispas
sionate and dignified judge, an accomplished '
and refined gentleman, a man of sterling worth'
and integrity, in the prime of manly vigor, and
- every way fitted to adorn whatever position as
a minister of the law he may be appointed to
fill. We know of no member of the legal pro
fession in Pennsylvania,jwhose selection for
the post now to be filled would meet with more
general approbation than Judge Thayer. liis
popularity lias been won by no dubious or un
worthy means. It is the fruit of a life adorned
with the solid qualities ef virtue, personal
ami political integrity and high professional
ability.
We do not pretend that Judge Thayer stands
alone at the bar or bench of Philadelphia, in
the enjoyment of these distinguishing qualities:
but he certainly possesses them in such well
balanced proportions that in casting about for
.the most suitable appointment to the new
Judgeship we have no hesitation in expressing
the belief that President Grant cannot select
any gentleman for the Circuit of the District
®f Pennsylvania and New Jersey who will be
more cordially welcomed this city
and State than the Hon. Martin Russell Thayer.
SHEAIRICAJL ABSURDITIES.
It is a somewhat remarkable fact that tlie
realistic tendency of the theatre at the present
day has not effected, reformation of many-of
those ancient customs in the mechanical and
■other business of the stage which had their
origin far back in tlie early theatrical period
when, the stage carpenter,, was not an artist,
when the costumer was not expected to enter
tain a decent regard l'orthe proprieties, when
scene painter )vas a mere smearer of lin
seed oil and vermilion, and when chemistry,
.electricity and steam had not been thought of
by managers. But while we have lime-lights
.and railroad trains, actual horses ' and perfect
copies of well-known localities, while the gory
bandit .has lied before the modern boot*
black, and the raven-tressed I’rincess has been
.frightened ifito retirement by the' unpoetic
peanut woman, stage managers still
cling to certain of tlie traditional absurdities,
and refuse to take tlie filial step towards real
•istic perfection. In all our theatres the
promoter still represents thunder by sliakiug a
f L piece .of sheet-iron, the noise Oi which resein
-1 hies thunder finite as nearly as tlie twang of a
. jewsliarp resembles the music of a brass band.
Despising the aid of electrical batteries, iliglit
' jiing is .always burlesqued with a few Hashes of
gunpowder at the side scenes. When the
manager wants .rain lie never fails to rattle a
; | Jot of dried peas in a cylinder, just as .the
...4,-- fdroeks very likely did twenty
lj . • Ibis in .the presetted the-fact that water is
p'i plenty and tlie water tax small. The soughing
L , «f.tbe wind continues to resemble the lamenting
r ■■: • <)f .a distemt baby in pain; and when suow- is -
i wanted,'the familiar bits of white paper de
’ S aeend upon the stage and .cover the floor in
x I lines wihicb are painful in their regularity.
« ‘K 'Phere is no reason why these elemental mat-
* tern shduld not be improved to a nearer resein-
U i p'pu blance to nature. A little ingenuity, and
' - frffling subsequent axpeuse, will do tlie busi
“"'‘‘k jiess satisfactorily. That circular white spot
\ in the flat, with a candle behind it, never did
. .-riPp look Hke the moon, and the most careful art
eould not extract from it a beam of sufficient
IK. ; strength to produce a shimmer on tlie rippling
a waters of the lake—rippling waters which, we
tj \ fiay sav. are merely suggested by slit canvas
1 * with a, row of gas-burners behind it. The
j" ef’tho stage, also is an absurdity. Why
dwnld a wandering spectre always be draped in
4 *J»c crape ? Why rnay it not sometimes wear
J. E. GOULD,
No. 923 Ohcetnnt Btreet.
T HE PAII.Y. EVENING BULLEtIS-PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 23,1869.
the popular white garments of thograVe, and
walk over the stage without a stride ? The
grand army, too, heeds a good deal of improve
ment. The warriors of all times and oil
. nations have not invariably gone to battle with
tin-headed spears; nor have we any evidence
that Ccesar's cohorts, and the Khan’s Tartars,
and Richard’s Britons, and Macbeth’s Scotch-,
-men,' and the Grand Duke’s all pranced
into strife with irregular steps, clad In precisely
the same rod sacks arid spangled leggings, with
jelly-mould helmets npon their heads. But
whether the soldiers of the stage represent
either the one period and country or the other,
they always, dress and arm and drill • alike,
until the aesthetic spectator feels sufficiently in
dignant to fight the whole brigade.
It seems to us that there is room for im
provement, also, in the plan that is adopted
for signifying the arrival of vehicles. The
custom, for years, has been to crack a whip
three or four times, when the well-known fact
is that drivers invariably stop cracking their
whips precisely when they halt their fiery
steeds. In the matter of stage money also,
we might have more realism: and when the
father dispenses his savings in that reckless
manner peculiar to the stage, some attention
might be paid to locality. If specie payments
are sommon, or if the scene of the play is laid
in Europe, the greenbacks, of invariable use
are not properly consistent. In rea
life men who engage in single com
bat with broad-swords hardly ever
regulate their blows by the strict stage rule of
‘•two up and one down,” especially if they
have an insatiable thirst for blood ; nor have
we observed that topers off the stage drink
fifteen or twenty heavy draughts from one
small glass without having it replenished.
Boats which float upon the bosom 9f genuine
water never proceed by hitches and jerks, as
they invariably do upon the boards; and the
common experience of manhood is, that the
hounding billows of the raging ocean never
raise a cloud of dust with which spectators
are suffocated, after the fashion of the rolling
waves of green cambric in the theatres.
These are a-few of the things in which im
provement is demanded by the truly realistic
spirit of the times. Managers are quick
enough to provide any mechanical effects, no
matter how intricate and expensive they may
be, which are required by the situations of a
new and popular play. Why may they not ex
ercise the same care in improving the old
fashioned absurdities with which the stage has
been disgraced for centuries ? A dramatic per
formance is intended tp be a representation of
real life, and anything which tends to make the
illusion more complete is worthy oi adoption.
It is quite as desirable that nature should be
imitated by the mechanical contrivances as by
the actors.
VANDERBILT AND PEABODY.
The people of New York, in awarding
honors to prominent men, show a strong
preference for the living rich, who have done
nothing for mankind, over the dead, whose
lives and fortunes were devoted to works of
philanthropy. An- effort to raise fluids for a
monument to the late George Peabody has
failed thus far. But a few days ago, a pompous
bronze monument (said to have cost a million
of dollars), to the living Cornelius Vanderbilt
was dedicated with grand ceremonies. Mr.
Vanderbilt, so far as the public knows, lias
'done no single great act of benevolence, and
has given no money to educational works. He
has simply grown rich by shrewd speculations,
in which thousands of honest men and women
have been defrauded. But New York has
always honored smart gamblers. It sends
Morrissey and Wood to Congress and puts up
a gorgeous monument to Vanderbilt.
It has leaked out, however, that tlie crowd
that, assisted at the dedication on Hudson
Square, last week, had a very striking proof of
the meanness of the man whom they were
honoring. A grand banquet, with unlimited
champagne, was expected. But nothing was
furnished but some cheap cake and lemonade,
which disgusted tlie assembled convufes. The
Kew York Evening Post says that tlfi: omis
sion must have been from forgetfulness. On
•Saturday last Mr. Vanderbilt was in Court, and
to the amazement and disgust of Mr. Dudley
Field, who was cross-examining him, it be
came evident that he had no memory what
ever. He did not remember having received a
check for a million dollars; lie did not recog
nize his own signature ; he did not know the
price of a stock at a time when he owned fifty
thousand shares of it; he did not know liow a
check was certified; he could not remember 1
when, where or how many times he had seen
Mr. Could on a certain matter. A man so im
becile must be excused for forgetting to spend
a few hundred dollars for Champagne for his
friends. But what a pitiable spectacle it is to
see such a man honored with a stupendous
bronze monument, while a few hundred dol
hirs is all that can be subscribed in the same
community for a monument to George Pea
body.
T'lie ingenious robbery of the Boylston Na
tional Bank,, -in Boston, of valuables placed
there for safe-keephig, should teach all persons
the folly of making such deposits. A bank
receiving bonds, jewels,, plate and other
valuables for safe-keeping, is-not responsible
for them. This robbery, like others that have
taken place in this city and New York, protfes
that ordinary bank vaults and safes are hot
proof against thieves. The only really safe
places for such articles are-the vaults.of the
Safe Deposit Companies that have been es
tablished here and elsewhere. These com
panie's liate large capital, and have vaults and
safes that are not only secure, but are con
stantly guarded by faithful watchmen. More
over they are responsible for everything they
" receive." This beiiigTlie" "case", it is sliiprisihg
that any one haying valuables to preserve
should not put them in the care of the Bafe
Deposit Companies.
The English people have shown a very mean
and petty spirit concerning the Suez Canal,
which must be owing to the fact that it has
been a French enterprise, and that other coun
tries of Europe are likely to derive more bene
fit from it than England. 1 At the grand open
ing ceremonies, no British prince or other dig
nitary was present, while France sent her Em
press, Austria her Emperor, Italy her king’s
second son, Prussia her Crown Prince, aiid
Holland her Crown Prince and Princess. Now
that the work is finished, the London papers
are trying to disparage it, and tiie Associated
Press is employed to circulate the opinions of
the Times and others against it. * All tills is
unworthy of a great nation, and we hope it
will be effectually rebuked'by the'complete,
access of the great undertaking.
A correspondent i’ro'm Little Rock, whose
letter wo print In another part of this paper, is
very severe npon the “Southern Radicals” in
that State. He may be correct iff his opinions
conccrning sonie of them; bnt the first two
thirds of his letter show that under this same
Radical rule, Arkansas is advancing in enlight
enmeiit and prosperity in a wffji.siie never has
before. In fact, the early part of the letter is
a complete refutation ofthe charges or insinu
ations Of the latter part; and even if some of
these charges are correct; the'people, as they
grow in wealth and intelligence, can correct
all the faults that may have been committed by
bad politicians.

From Tennessee.
[Special by the Pacific and Atlantic Telegraph.'}.
Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 23.—A shocking
butchefy occurred on, the Clarksville pike,
about twelve miles from this city, yesterday
morning. A man named Joe Barton, who
rente a small farm, deliberately cut the throats
..'hr bis wife and three children, killing them
■instantly. The murderer has been addicted to
drinking, and the impression is that lie was in
a drunken lit when he committed the terrible
tragedy. He made his escapo, and at last
accounts had not been arrested. •
Andrew Johnson, who has been at homo
in Greenville for about a week, is expected
here to-morrow or tlie day after.
Tho bill authorizing tlie construction of the
Cincinnati Southern iiailroad through! the
Htate of Tennessee was called npin the House
to-day by Mr. James, on its second reading.
Mr. Fleming, of Knoxville, thought a bill
granting such extraordinary franchises and
privileges should receive mature deliberation
before its passage, especially since a dollar of
stock in the proposed road could not bo
owned in Tennessee. He hoped it would be re
ferred to the Judiciary Committee. Mr. James,
of Hamilton, advocated the immediate passage
of the bill, and contended that no honest op
position could be urged against such a bill,
since the construction of tlie road would be of
such vast boncllt to the people of the Htate.
He said that on its third reading an amend
ment would be proposed to prevent discrimi
nation against Tennessee freights and passen
gers. The hill then passed the second reading
without a dissenting vote.
Negroes Attacked by Begnlaton.
| Special by the Pacific and Allantic. Telegraph Com
pany.)
Frankfort, Ky., Nov. 22.—A band of nine
to twelvo men, masked and clothed in gro
tesque garbs, made an attack on Saturday
night upon a congregation of negroes, as
sembled for the .purpose of hearing preaching,
upon the farm of Harve'y Scott, some ti or 10
miles from this city. Another report gives the
number of men as mueb larger. They
called themselves regulators, and declared that
they intended to put. a slop to any meeting or
assemblage of negroes. In tlie onslaught
one negro was shot and slightly wounded in
the back of the neck, and a number of others
were shockingly beaten. None of the assailant*,
were injured. No.other reason was given
by the regulators for thoir conduct than
that they intended to squelch all negro meet
ings. It is said that a portion of them were
recognized by tlie negroes, and one white per
son who saw them averred for a time that ho
knew a portion ot the party, but subsequently
stated that he did not know them, and that lie
was drunk when he said he- did. No arrests
have been made, and it is presumed that the
usual acquiescence of the civil authorities in
the situation will occur.

THE ritESIIYTEBIAV IMOX.
The Real Crisis.
The Pittsburgh Dispatch, in an article on the
reunion ol the Presbyterian churches, says
that the real crisis is v»;t to come: >
The next spring General Assembly will be
the real crisis of Presoytcrianism. A Mode
rator will have to bo chosen. Will a New
School or an Old School man he elected 7 That
question itself will require delicate handling.
The Synods and Presbyteries will have to be
reorganized, in some place.-, where two
struggling churches’ now stand in rivalry a
junction will have to take place, and
one minister and one set of church oilicers
be dispossessed. The missionary boards and
societies of the two Churches will have to be
consolidated; the theological schools likewise.
The, bequests to tlie respective Churches,
amounting to several million dollars, wilt pre
sent legal difficulties. In fact every detail of
this grand consolidation of two such power
ful ecclesiastical organizations will. present
an occasion for heart-burnings and jealousies,
just as the consolidation of the regiments of
an army has been found to do. And there
will not be wanting men to tan these sparks
of enmity into a groat flame.

Tuesday, Nov. 23,1869.—The bank statement of yes
terday affords but little hope of any improvement in th*
immediate future of the discount market. The deposits:
have fallen off 8505,297, and the loans 5350.685, whilst
tho legal-tenders have decreased 8164,267. The clearings
show a heavy declinein tho amount of business done and.
a drawing in of the lines. The above exhibit affords &
cluo to tho conservative course which the banks have
found it necessary or convenient to pursue, and it makes
any improvement in tho loan market, for tho present
week at least, very improbable, to say the best. Thero is
no material change in the toiie of tlie market, and it ap

Tbe Hew York Honey Market.
f From the Herald of to-day. J
Monday, Noy. 22,-rThero wan a sudden revival of spec
ulation in the stock market to-day . and the week opened
upon a rather animated state of affairs in that depart
ment of bnainc.os. Tho advent or return of several
prominent operators wuu visible in the upward move
ment‘which pric<H took to-day,and tl!Ope , ‘wbo wera
on the opposite tack of speculation w*r« induced
to cover their contracts aud take sides with them.
The consequence wan an active market and a
rather sharp advance in most of the railways,
particularly the Western roads, a meeting of'the'direc
tor* of Chicago and Northwestern being construed a«
the preliminary step to the declarntlonofa live percent,
dividend on both the • common and preferred shares,
while with reference to St.. Paul it was rumored that the
.directors intended to declare seven per cent, cash on
the preferred, and ten per cent, scrip on the common.
The meeting of tue 1 Northwestern directors did not
result in tho declaration of any dividend, although
the Question is hardly a proper one until the final
monthly meeting of the year, which takes place the first
Friday in December. Whatever ii intended in the way
of dividend)!, the bullish feeling vra# strong in hath
stocks and occasioned an advance of one to two per cent.
Lak** Shore, Rock leliuitl and Reading also prominently
participated in the ri*e, which extended to all the rail
ways except tho Vanderbilt securities: These latter
were feverish and, in th<*main, heavy.
The chief exception to’ the buoyancy of tho market
was Pacific Mail, which, upon-minors that the directors
had passed the dividend, broke to 51%.but eventually re
covered t 053 when the reports could not he authenti
cated. The other and ten# premature exception was
Western Union, which, feeling the competition of the r**-
dnrvd tariffs on the. two rival lines, declined to 35?«.
Tho change in the current of speculation was.
perhaps, tho more remakable from the fact that
the money market showed more activity under
draft* upon tlie banks from the \\ e«t , and
Sjuthurst, particularly from tli° direction of New Or
leaij-, where exchange on New York is a half per cent,
premium according to ibe news advice, and still higher
ftceordhip to privatedwpatches. All demands were easily
mt't at httpi) per cent,, and many trauftaetioh" on stocks
took place ut six. The government dealers were aeeom
mcwlat.'d at five to six per rent. In'commercial piper
there wit., more currency for the prime grades, which
Kitted at nine to fourteen percent., these rates including
oth Urns and »iiort Some of the stock houses were
oftered four months' loans at the rate of twelve per cent,
per annum. The Trciif-.ury movements ««t Hit-week arc
averse to easy money, a* the purchase* of Uondv are a
million than the salc-t o_f gold; but the market will
nut feel it before Saturday,- whth? the differenci* will
not be in the bank statement of that day. but
will be carried ov«-r to next week. The foreign ».-x
-ihangeir wore nominally theeamc at. the wxumters of
tbo prime bankers, but on the street sterling was an
eishth percent. lower than ]a**t week, owing to seloa
of hille out ri’second hand' v,lk» parted with them to
p r nciire < urieiicy or for speculatiw: purposes. In the
<lov»-niim-nt market there was a steady upward 'move
ment on light traiwietiuns, in sympathy with the
general \ u< yaucy of tho Stock Exchange, which ovci -
c;inH' the effects' of the heaviness in gold. Th“ London
quotations for American securities came firm In ;
Hoiitioin bouda there was some activ
ity in hew Teunessees in i-spouse to
the introduction of a bill in the Statu Legislature requir
ing ail foreign in&uranca companiea haring agencies in
tho Htate to . deposit collateral security of TeTinessee
with the State Comptroller. A similar law, it will
bo operative in Alabama und Lonisiana.
Its rdf cct will be to make a market for the bonds of tlie I
State and re<luccthe amount afloat in speculative hands.
The rest of the list was without important feature.
During the seerion of the gold board all the sales took
place at 126^’and 136b*. ,\fter\vnrds there was a decline
to ", but the transactions at this figure were few,
During the day over ten millions of gold was bought and
wild “under the rule, v to adjust settlements of failures
connected with the speculation of Hept.24. The trand
artioDh wi re purely formal and no gold changed hands,
although the board tat until after 3 o’clock in order to
get through with them. The reopening of the Clearing
liou.se bus begotten very little speculation, the total
clearances to-day being six millions as against sixty
tour millions, which was the average for 1868. and as
KgaiaFt over five hundred millions on tho nienjomMti
day when the gold 4 * corner M culminated. The agitation
of the Questiou of specie payiuent& was lesff intimidating ,
in ite influence upon the miuds of holders of gold, but
served to keep tlie ü bulls' , quiet. Hence the dullness
which prevailed despite the outlet that was given
to speculation by the renewal of Clearing Home opera
tions. With oghtbumlred millions of paper money in
circulation it is difficult to convince the shrewder clan!*,
of speculators that it can be speedily brought to par\
with gold by any other proce&a’than violent contraction.
Tbe receni discussion of this topic produced a tendeucy
to lower prices at tho Stock Exchange. Was the re
action therefrom "and the elasticity , of .ho . immense a
volume of. paper, the .secret .of the new lease of specula
tion which tlie ,k bults’ s took to-day in the stock market?

New York, Nov. 23.—The money market is
rather more active to-day, at unchanged rates.
Discounts range from 10 to 15 per cent., with
an nndiminisbed demand from the merchants.
' Gold opeued at 126 j, and rose to 126| on the
sonsational story started by a morning paper
that the Government proposed to seize the
Spanish gunboats, now fitting out at this and
other-points. -The' canard became manifest
early in the day, and tho premium fell to 126}
Governments are steady. Stocks opened
with a considerable buoyancy, with an ad

buoyancy departed and there was a decline on

THE BOSTON BANK ROBBERY.
Additional Particulars.
From the Boston Transcript, of last night,
we clip the following additional particulars
of the robbery of the Boylstou Bank:
Last evening the Bovlston Baulc in this city
was the scene of another hold and successful
robbery, by which a large amount of bonds
xvere taken from tlie vault of the bank, esti
mated at over £500.000.
As near as can at present be ascertained the
particulars of this daring robbery are as fol
lows:
The 20th of October last, a man giving the
name of William A. Juilson, hired a room in
the building, No. 425} Washington street, os
tensibly for the purpose of putting up bitters.
This room adjoins that'portion of the bank
building in wliicli the vault of the institution
is situated. •
It. is evident from an inspection of these
premises, that , this individual, and perhaps
confederates, havtj been at work leisurely
hcTe, ever since tho apartment was taken, cut
ting through the walls. A bookcase was liuDg
np over the place where the work was going
on, aud to make detection still more improba
ble, a swinging: piece of wall had been made
to elose up the hole which they were making.
Two brick walls of eighteen inches each
were required to be pierced; and this part of
the work was 'evidently accomplished some
time last week. The long time intervening
between the closing of the bank on Saturday
safterno'on and- the opening on Monday morn
ing gave them an opportunity to leisurely cut
through the half-inch plate iron linipg of the
safe, which was accomplished by boring holes
in a circle,makitig an opening sufficient to ad
mit a small sized person.-The-valuables of the
hank were in an inner steel-plate safe, which"
an attempt was-made to force.
The small trunks containing deposits which
were placed in this vault for safe keeping at
- the risk of the depositors were all taken. The
amount taken cannot be definitely estimated,
but there is not much probability that it will
fall short of $500,000. The vault is a small
one, about eight feet hy five, and the trunks
’ were ranged upon shelves in the easterly and
westerly, sides. *>
The room which Judson had taken was
found in’a state of some confusion this morn
ing. A valise with most of the burglars’ tools
was found there, 1 It" was also ascertained that
that individual had placed the bricks as they
were removed from tlie wall into empty patent
medicine boxes, of Which he had a number in '
the room.
A description of the person who hired this
apartment has been given to tho Chief of Po
lice, and already the investigation of the affair
has commenced.
