THE PIIBLIC BUILDIN GS.
The idea has been set afloat that because
Councils fixed the tax rate for 1870, without
**eluding the appropriation for the new public
buildings, there can be nothing further
done towards carrying out this important work
for another year. This idea is an erroneous
one, and will not, as we feel assured, be acted
- upon by any intelligent or public-spirited mem
ber of Councils.
The faith of the city of Philadelphia has been
pledged to furnish the money necessary to
'carry forward the erection of the new public
buildings, and it will take something more
than street rumor to convince us that Councils
have any wish to dishonor the pledge thus pro
perly and deliberately given: In the perhaps
andue anxiety to keep the tax rate for 1870
down to the same figure as that of 1869, Coun
cils allowed the public buildings estimate to be
dropped out of the appropriations. We
would greatly have preferred to
see it retained, and the one-tenth per cent.
added to the general tax-rate. But since this
has not been done, we trust, most earnestly,
that Councils will redeem ,the credit of the .
city, at once, either. by the levy of the special
tax authorized for this purpose, or by the
creation of a loan. The law forbidding the
levy of more than one general tax,' annually,'
does not interfere with providing this special
additional income, and Councils will only do
themselves credit before the people by rising
above whatever individual factiousness there
may be, still opposing itself to this great public
improvement.
The Commissioners have secured a plan
which, with the alterations and improvements
suggested by the, Board, and adopted by
the architect, will give Philadelphia
the finest pile of public buildingS
on• this continent, securing abundant and
suitable accommodations for all the wants of
the city government, safe and convenient de
posits for all the great mass of documents now
constantly exposed to irreparable destruction,
and such an architectural expression of the
growth, importance and dignity of Philadelphia.
as becomes the second city of this Union.
The project for the new public buildings is a
grand one, and we feel assured that Councils
will ftuther it in a large and liberal spirit. The
petty opposition of minor and individual in_
terests will not be permitted to control their
action. Philadelphia is moving upward and
forward, and her people rejoice ever her
progress. There will be no complaint
over a wisely liberal . expenditure to
supply this great municipal need, for want of
which Philadelphia has been left far behind
most of the inland towns of our own State.
The new public buildings, when completed,
will be one of the grandest ornaments, as well
as one of the most universally beneficial im
provements of Philadelphia, and if Councils
act, as we believe they will, in accordaneewith
the spirit and will of the people, and with an
' honest, fair regard tot%e pledges of the public
faith already giien,the Bitilding Commissioners
will be able to prosecute their duties rapidly,
barmoniontly and successfully.
We have heard of one or two very inju
dicii;us proposit:oes on the part of gentlemen
whose eagef . ries.is in the premises is, to say the
very least, liable to doubt. These proposi
tions are ha.*.ti i.pon the idea that - Councils ,.
have refused, or have determined to refuse,'
to the money needed tO t •conumenee the
public buildings. This idea we hold to be un
fair, and therefore wrong. It is true that
the old tax-rate, which omitted the . estimate .
for these buildings, went by defarlt ;be it_
Ifices not follov, - that Councils mean to repu
dhitte a. deliberate pledge of the city, Here
- 44 there, in Councils, there are individuals
who would resort to any trick or 'unworthy
means to prevent the progress of, this great
public improvement; but they are only
kridividuals, and Councils should not
be held t7) - ' be in sympathy with
any such factious or interested opposition until
.they show themselves to be so by their votes.
Until then, we shall believe that Councili will
honorably carry out the pledge of their .prede
4easors and the will of the people, iu good faith
and with hearty interest in a' measure that
*list redound to the credit of the city at large,
' J. N; GOULD,
No. 923 Chestnut street
to the rescue, last week, in the person of the
impulsive and influential member of the Twen
ty-second Ward, Mr. William F. Smith. There
have been occasions when Mr. &fifth's ideas
and ours have been lamentably divergent, and
we have not always been able to adorn his rosy
countenance with the laureli of our approba'-
Lion. But Mr. Smith does deserve public
praise for his manly avowal on the floor of the
Council Chamber of his hearty adhesion to the
Paid Fire Department reform. His example
will be followed by others who have been so
timid hitherto as to be frightened by the glare
of the red shirts that have been accustomed to
crowd the lobbies of Councils whenever any
subject has been broached touching the Fire
Department. When the film' victory is won
we shall assign a place of honor among the
victors to Mr. Smith, of the Twenty-second
Ward, for he deserves it.
There appeals to be yet some uncertainty as
to appointments for the ' Supreme Court, and
the Attorney-Generalship just vacated .by
Judge Hoar. It is most probable, as suggested
by us a few days ago, that if Mr. Stanton's
health will permit it, the President will be 'last
to avail himself of this opportunity to give the
distinguished ex-Secretary of War his official
recognition of his great patriotic services
during the Rebellion. If this is done, it is in
timated that. Judge Strong will be invited to
the seat in the Cabinet vacated by Judge Hoar.
If not, there is every probability that Judge
Strong will be elevated- to - the Supreme
Bench, unless the President deems his services
as Attorriey-General more valuable.
The unanimity with which Judge Stiong's
name has beeen presented to the President by
the press of Pennsylvania, is highly creditable
to the public sentiment of the Commonwealth,
as well as to the eminent gentleman who has
thus received an unusual and remarkable
token of public approbation. It is rare indeed
for any individual, in these days of cliques and
small jealousies, to be able to command, un
asked, the united commendation of the
people of Pennsylvania. it has been most
heartily extended, in this ease, and has evi
dently been cordially recognized by President
Giant. Whether Judge Strong takes a seat
upon the Supreme bench, or in the Cabinet,
Pennsylvania will be honored in the appoint
ment, and the hands of the Government
strengthened by the addition of an able jurist,
and a wise, honorable and upright man.
The Lancaster Efening
Express calls atten
tion to the fact that William B. Reed was ap
pointed by the provisions of the last will and
testament of ex-President, Buchanan to prepare
and publish his biography. The 4011 speaks of
the entire confidence of the testator in Mr.
Reed, and bequeaths him one thousand dollars,
and also five thousand to Mrs. Mary L. Reed,
his wife (now deceased), as a compensation
for the service to be performed. The present
condition of this literary work becomes a mat
ter, of public interest under recent develop
ments.
The report of Professor Wilcox, concert log
his peace Mission to Europe, read before/ the
Pennsylvania Peace Society last Saturday even
ing, will be found in another part of this paper.
It contains information that will be interesting
to many readers.

THE. PAM FIBS DEPAISTII/Xlitr.
The constant dropping of, water w,earli, away
thin hardest roek, and the patient dropping of the
' clear water of truth and common sense is
°gradually wearing away the adamantine pre.:
Judie° which las, for so ninny years, resisted
reform h the volunteer Fire Department of
this city. Of all the' reforms urged and pro
meted by the BULLETIN during the nearly ,
twenty-three years of its existence, none have
been so stubbornlyresisted, as the establish
ment of a Paid Fire Department: Journalisti
cally speaking, beim grown gray in pressing
this 'subject upon the minds of the people of
Philadelphia, who, ready 'as they hafe 'been
to' adopt other suggestions and . inangdrate
other reforms, have been almost hopelessly
slow to accept arguments which could .not, be
answered, to comet abuse which could not bEi
deided, and to introduce a
,reforin, tbe' value' -
and need of which has long been admitted,.
We have never lost our faith in the advant
ages and the entire feasibility of ,a good Paid
Fire Department ; and . we have bad. the satis
factionof seeing the tie slowly turning in the,
right direction, the - - rock - slowly wearing away;,
and.editorial pens which, like the vane on. the
Ledger Building, are always ijuick to turn with
the shifting wind, brandishing themselves
bravely in the fore-front of a more than half- ,
won battle-field; in - whose trenches We have
willingly delved, and, at whose batteries we
have hopefully ,fought for
,nearly a score of
years.. Best of
,all,, our old foes; the firemen
themselves, are at last coming over and rein
forcing, us with , their honest admissions that
they are tired and disgusted with the manage
ment of the Volunteer system, and will be glad
to see the Paid Fire Departtnent .eStablished.
The decent, respectable men or the Depart-
ment have come to the only conclusion that is
possible, in view of the rowdyism, inefficiency
and bad management of a large proportion of
the present department. They are thoroughly
sick of it, and while their natural esprit du
corps , still keeps them in the ranks of active
service, they are ready to welcome the legisla
tion that will abolish the preknt miserable
condition of affairs, and establish a compact,
efficient, well-regnlated body of pail firemen,
such as are to be found in almost every large
city of the world except Philadelphia. Au in
stance came to our knowledge recently, where
twenty members of a single fire company,
being together in the transaction of some busi
ness, the question of a Paid:Fire Department
was introduced, and it was found that there
was not a single voice opposed to the reform.
And this is but a specimen of what could pro
bably be found in every respectable company
in the city. Public opinion and the municipal
authorities have no longer to contend with the
firemen, as a body, upon this subject.
The decent and orderly members'of the de
partment out-number and Will out-vote the
roughs and the rowdies, on this subject. • The
time has come for the long-wanted reform, and
we shall hail the inauguration of the Paid Fire
Department as a year of jubilee for Philadel
phia, when we shall be able to hang up our
horn, and turn our attentiol more exclusively
to some of the other equally important social ,
reforms, still waiting the time of their de
velopment.

Cut('Aoo, Dec. 16.—The Railroad Bond Con
vention, composed of delegates from the
counties of lowa having bonded indebtedness,
assembled at Muscatine, lowa, yesterday.
From sixty to seventy delegates were presedt.
Eon. J. B. Grinnell presided. Among other
things be said he was not a repudiator, but a
person wanting his rights. A committee on
resolutions, through Governor Kirkwood, re
ported a series of resolutions, the leading fea
tures of which are as follows :
$.250,160
1,502,000
100,665
85,174
Whereas, The , recent decisions of the Federal
Courts involving corporation railroad bonds
in the State 'seem to us subversive of the
authority and dignity of our State Courts, and
dangerous to the rights and privileges of citi
zens of the State, if not positive and unwar
ranted encroachments upon the jurisdiction of
the State Courts.
Therefore, rewired, That we respectfully and
earnestly protest against the exercise of such
authority by the Federal courts, and hereby
pledge our supportf and sympathies to the
State courts, and the maintenance of their
rightful authority. That the convention earn
estly call upon the General Assembly of lowa
to take notice of the late decision of the Fed
eral Supreme Court, and apply to Congress
and other States to protect our citizens against
similar encroachments on their rights ;Ahat
this convention recommends to the citizens of
the several counties . and cities interested to
refuse to pay the railroad bond tax until all
legal and practical remedies are exhausted.
The debate on the resolutions were long
and animated. Gov. Kirkwood insisted that
the people of the State bad the right through
the Legislature to enact sueh laws as they
please, provided that they do not trench on
the Constitution of the United States, and
that they have the right to say that their
courts should interpret the law as it read, and
he advised delay in tne payment of the tax.
Senator Bennett, Mr. Nutt and others, said
that the resolutions were not strong enough,
Mr. Lusk, of Lee county, said that the only
resort for us is to use force. We must not de
pend on the Judges, for there is not one of
them in the Federal or State benches who
cannot be bought. We must form our own
Legislature to tax all roads to give MS the
money.
The resolutions were finally unanimously
adopted.
Mr. ILuskafterward.s said he had spoken
falsely against the Judges of the Supreme
Coon, and he took it all back.
The Convention then adjourned sine die.
The total amount of bonds involved in all the
securities is about ten millions.

no quotable change, with a tendency to more

large profits. Call loans are quoted at 6to 7
per cent., according to the amount of the
transaction. Paper, strictly prime, passes on
the street at Balo per cont., while very good
paper is offered at higher rates.
