DUTTON, soletlin§ IP/Sand 1128 Chestnut street. VENING BULLETIN. Monday, December 20, 1860. IS i w Ak V•4l/4138E? I '7 The'lloard of /lean]) has had charge of the street-cleaning of Philadelphia for the past seveli or eight months. When tbe Board un ,4o)ertO4k this work, the city was buried, almost `hopelessly, in the filth of the preceding winter and spring, and mouths were spent in getting down to the payments, through the masses of mud that represented the rascalities of the old system of so-called street-cleaning. The Board went rigorously to work. Now contracts were made; stringent regulations were adopted; and high hopes were excited. The press. generally, encouraged and , sustaitisd the Board of Health in their plans and purposes, and, so far as we know, every oliportunity was afforded for a fell and fair trial of the new experiment. What has been the result? Full time, has been Olowed to try both the contractors and their employers, and the fact stares the people of Philadelphia in the face, that the last state of the Board of Health's work is worse than the first. Never were the streets in a more wretchedly bad condition than they are to-day. There has bee* nothing like a systematic cleaning anywhere. Occasionally a contractor has bad his monthly warrant stopped on ao count of some unusual accumulation of the filth in his district; but upon the whole, it is Lard to detect any essential difference between the appearance of the streets, now, and the old Iturviliar filthiness of past seasons. To-morrow, new contracts are to be nude. There has been a change in the street-cleaning districts, so as to increase their number and thereby diminish their size. But we hear of no ebange in the system, and yet these new contracts are to be given out for two years. There appears to be no new guaranty that the sontracts will be enforced, and time, instead of improving the contractors, will, we fear, only make them more reckless in the neglect of their duties. The Buil.Emii most heartily advocated the trial of this new experiment. It urged that nothing could be worse than the old plan, and gave to the new one the most cordial encour agement and support. 'But the new system has worked no better than the old ''one, and Philadelphia is little, if any, better than be fore, in the cleanliness and decency of its streets. Whether the system is to blame, or whether its proper operation has proved too• much for the gentlemen composing the loard of Health, we are not quite prepared to say. One thing is very cer,taln. If none but the eontractors who have kept their districts pass ably decent have been paid, during the last six months, the city ought to have saved a very large sum of money. We know of no In stance of a contractor having honestly earned his pay; while, in most cases, their neglect has been of the most flagrant character. We have been slow to find fault with the Board of Health, because, knowing some thing of the difficulties of the work, we have been desirous of making every allowance for its imperfect performance. But if we are to start out with two years more of such farcical contracts as' those that have insulted the com mon-sense of the people and robbed the pub lic treasury during the last six months, it will be impossible to resist the unwilling conviction that the Boacd of Health experiment with the mud problem of Philadelphia is a disn3al and disappointing failure. THE WOMEN'S SALARIES. About two hundred yards of petition were sent into Councils, last Thursday, asking them to grant the reasonable request of the School Controllers to, raise the salaries of . the timbers in our public schools. The Finance Committee have the question before them, and they are gentlemen not likely to treat this sub ject otherwise than with the fair and generous respect which it deserves. No sensible argu ment has been advanced against the proposi tion to bring these miserable salaries up to a living standard, and the arguments in favor of it are so patent and so strong that it seems almost superlious to urge them further at this time. The strongest argument, perhaps, is that which is drawn directly from admitted figures. There is a considerable number of teachers in the public schools, who,—to the shame of Philadelphia it must be spoken,—receive $350 per annum for their work. These are re spectable young wolf en, well-educated for their special duties, laboriously prepared for their profession, and constantly engaged in fitting themselves for the more advanced positions in the public schools. They cannot board, de ' 'ently - fir ebnifertably,' at-less-than five Aollars , a week. This is their universal testimony, despite Mr. Steinmetz's suggestion that three dollars-and-a-half ought to be their limit. Their board, therefore, takes $260 out of their poor pittance, leaving $9O for all other expen ses. From this, many of them must pay ear fare, and where their clothing and other neces sary requirements are to be supplied, can only be answered byzthe gentlemen who have argued against the increase of these salaries. • It is quite needless to represent how utterly Mean and shabby such a starvation, policy for a great city like Philadelphia. If it be true that " if a man will not work, neither shall he eat," the converse of the proposition is equally true, in regard to these teachers , of the public schoOls of Philadelphia. If a woman honestly ,works in.a noble and useful calling, she must, eat, and be decently housed and clothed, with a chalice to lay •by a few .dollars for days of J: IC. GOULD, No. 923 Chestnut street sicknesss or other want. Philadelphia Is justly pround of her High School, her -Normal Schools, her handsome Grammar Schools, her system of education. But it must be very pleasant for our School Directors or Controllers to take visitors from .13oSton, or New Yek or, Chicage, through these schools, and bear their praises of the good discipline and the general efficiency and progre.ss of the various depart - ments, and then have the humiliating con fession wrung from them that the faithful, bard-working, well-educated women to whom these flattering results are so largely due, re ceive for their labors considerably less than we pay our cooks and chambermaids. It seems impossible that Councils shall be insensible to the just plea of these wretchedly under-paid Women. Their case is such a sim ple one, and such an exceeding hard one; that it cannot he set aside or, neglected.' We 'make an appeal for them because they are women. When 'women enter upon any field of labor shared by nien, they stand simply :npon the same level both of rights and of obiigations. ' It is:not out of chivalry, or any notion of superior deference to one sex over the other, that this claim should be pressed ; but only because' it is not honest or respectable to impose- upon wo mem—and it is only done because they are women,--tie work now done by them in our public schools, and well done, too, and at the same time to starve and pinch them with a compensation utterly inadequate to the barest ne cessities of living, and wholly disproportionate the nature and extent 0f the service rendered. We trust that Councils will not hesitate in this matter. They have just done a very cre ditable thing in forwarding the grand educa tional deSign of the University of Pennsylva nia. Let them now turn to the lower round of the ladder of learning, and encourage and do justice to the women who are helping and training the children to take their first steps in the acquirement of that education which is alike the honor and the•safeguard of the Ame rican people. THE NEW MINING HORROR. On Saturday the BULLETIN announced another terrible calamity in the Luzerne county coal region. Two double houses, in-. habited by four families, in the mining town of Stockton, near llazleton, were enguiphed in a mine that had been carried under them, with only about twenty feet of earth between the top of the mine and the • surface of the earth. There bad been no proper supports erected for the roof of the'mine, and without any warn ing, it gave way, the houses, with their occu pants, being swallowed .ap. Ten lives were lost in this horrible way. In this disaster there is a new hint on which the Legislature must act this winter, in, pre paring a bill to secure safety in mines.' There are probably hundreds of these where a similar accident may occur at any moment. The State ought, to create an office of Inspector of Mines, whose business it shall be to see that proper ventilation and avenues of escape are provided in cases of a fire like that of the Avondale mine; to see that the roofs of all mines are securely shored up, and to provide against all other dangers to life and property. If be finds any mine not entirely safe in all re spects, he ought to have authority to stop all mining in it until the danger is removed. Every mining company in whose works loss of life or injury results from the want of proper ,precautions, ought to be held responsible in damages. Walnut street, west of Broad, was treated to one of its usual Sunday excitements yester day afternoon. There was no lire, but enough firemen .to extinguish a great conflagra tion, turned out with their machines, and they rushed along the street in the usual riotous, Uproarious:way, followed by thousands of idle boys. The police were scarce, and, of course, there was no compliance with the new order to arrest all boys running with fire companies. The street, for a while, was in a terrible state of turmoil. These things will continue until we get a Paid Fire Department. FOR SALE. For Sale Cheap. A FIRST-CLASS FIRE PROOF SAFE. Address, "LEON," this office do2o-tfrp§ FOR.

The New Turk Money Market. (From the Herald of to-dap.] Srm/ni, Dec. I9.—The course of the various markets during the week was in close sympathy with gold. The stock cliques whohad unloaded their "long' stock the week previous were free sellers for a decline and gave tie money market rather a tight squeeze to asnist their plans. (Jos - eminent bonds were heavy and weak. despite the approach of the time for the payment of the January interest, and touched the lowest point since, Spring. The State bonds were steady, particu larly for those on which the interest had been regu larly paid, South Carolinas were the feature of the lint and rapidly advanced on the pas gaze of a bill •in one branch of the Legislature Is bids provides for the payment of the interest iu coin. Foreign exchange was irregular, for, after becoming strong with the decline in gold to 120:ii. it weakened at the close when cold had gone to 1203. i. Commercial paper was less sfiectedtban would have been supposed by the 1111111CrolIS failures announced during the week., but the note brokers who possess the statistics reported that the looses this year have not been so great aseluring the winter of IS6a, and the class of paper uttering on the street has not been impugned. The public mind is so sensitive, however. that more notice has been taken of eves the small failures which have been a regular oc currence every winter. The weekly tank statement proved quite unfavorable, fo the great surprise of the street, the expectation basing been general that cruder the operations of the Treasury in buying bonds to a greater extent than it sold gold, the item of legal tenders would have, at least shown an increase. On the contrary, however, there is a decrease of over two millions, while the total loss in reserve is about a million and three-quarters, the item 'of specie increasing by the small amount of three hon. dreu and htty thousand dollars. Inasmuch as the Slit V meets to the interior have been on a- reduced scale, it' indeed they were not less than tie receipts, only ono concliodon is left, viz., that the market--wee artificially manipulated in connection with the iitiaculit tivelllQV.lllerita of the week in gold and stocks. Of these influences we bad convincing proof in the stringency of 'Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday last, and the Inter case in money was duo to the Treasury disbursements. Were it not for -the bond purchases the 4-Iliine would have made the squeeze continuous throughout the week. The ,Item of loons shows an increase of only a hundred thou sand dollars. which. is attributable to a cousogrative feeling on the part of both the banks and their custo mer.. all of schwa are desirous of making as little new business as pds.sible preparatory to winding up their books for the year.

The joint resolution was read, Mr. Patterson stating that the Colllll3ittee has ascertained that the reports that there spill a job in their 'natter were unfounded • that though the rate of *12;00 per year in coin offered for the site might now be sufficient, it would not possibly be sufficient fur the period during which the lease was to continue, being 25 years. He alluded to the difficulty of determining the proper site for a public building in that city on account of the liability of the ground being shaken by earthquakes, though New England had experienced more violent earthquakes than San Francisco. The real question was whether the Secretary of the Treasury had any right to lease this land. Mr. Ramsey remarked that the alleged affinity of earthquakes for New England territory might furnish a good reason for the Government dispensing with the hu provements of certain ptiblic buinlings, the Custom- E time among others. Mr.Pattereon replied that the peopleof Boston were not vet y greatly exercised about theCustom•lionse tumbling down, were willing, as New England people gene• rally are, to assume all legitimate risks. lr.
