41111 E NORMAL SCHOOL.
The throng which filled every seat, passage,
door and approach to the auditorium of the
Andoriy Hof Music, last night, sufficiently
attests, the great interest which the , community :
tikes in the Girls' Normal School of Philadel
phia. The spectacle was a very brilliant one.
The pupils, in gala dress, were unanimous in
their, protest against, the "reform-dress" doc
trine, Mid, to a girl, dressed and loCked their
prettiest. The original essAys were cleverly
written, and all the recitations reflected credit
ripen the fair orators and their most competent
and paius-taking instructor, Miss Patridge.
With the allowance that must fairly be made
fo the disproportion between a young girl's
voice and the expanse to bd . filled at the
Academy, this part of the performance was
thoroughly satisfactory. In the music, there
was a marked improvement upon the last com
ment. The average grade of the selections
was of a higher order, and although there is
abtindant room for further advance in this di
rection, we are glad to see that our friendly
tints on this subject have not been without
good effect. Mendelssohn crept into the pro
gramme last night, and will undoubtedly be
followed by the othetmasters of his art. The
floral oration which followed the conferring of
the diplomas was a most lively and beautiful
feature of the occasion, hundreds of fragrant
bouquets and.exquisite baskets of flowers ap
pearing, as by magic, from all parts of "the
house, to greet• the recipients of academic
honors. •
There are two or three practical sugges
tions growing out of this attractive and interest
ing occasion. The most prominent of these is
the fresh demonstration.which it gives of the
necessity for the immediate erection of a
suitable building for this important school. It
is now crowded away in a small by-street, in a
building wholly inadequate for its purposes. •
The 'authorities have hesitated, and delayed in
meeting this manifest want, year after year,
until the friends of this department of our
public school system have almost despaired of
ever seeing it placed upon a footing becoming
ifs 'merits or its - necessities. But - the Girls'
Itormal School has continued todemonstrate
its own merits and its importance to the whole
scheme of popular, education, until the bar
riers of neglect and prejudice at last begin to
break down, and a timid movement has been
made toward the preliminaries necessary for
the erection of a building worthy of Philadel
phia and of her Normal School.
Another suggestion, of comparatively
minor importance, is this : The gentlemen
immediately concerned in these semi-annual
commencements complain of the growing
burden, incident to the tremendous pressure
to obtain admission to the. Academy, on these
occasions. Between four and five thousand
persons were packed within its walls last night,
and the distribution of tickets has become the
source of all manner of complaints and
grumbling on the part of large numbers who
are either omitted or who fancy themselves in
sufficiently supplied. So serious has the diffi
culty become that the question of discontinuing
the commencements is gravely agitated. This
would bp a most unpopular and impolitic
remedy, and we think we can offer a better
one. Let the Controllers try this experiment:
Give a suitable number of tickets to
each member_:of the graduating class.
They are entitled to theni, as
it is exclusively "their show." Then
charge a moderate admission fee for everybody
else. Twenty-five or fifty cents per capita
would be gladly paid by as many people as the
house w ill comfortably seat, and a very hand
some amount would be realized, which might
be invested for the benefit of the new Normal
School whenever it is built. It would serve to
check the excessive, uncomfortable, and per
baps unsafe crowding which results from the
present system of gratuitous admission.
Our remaining suggestion runs dangerously
close to tbe Charybdis of that Scylla of Ugly
ism which we have had occasion to ' discuss
recently. Shall we hurt anybody's feel
ings if we venture the' suggestion
that the commencements of the Girls'
Normal School are becoming a thought
too dressy? The very brightness and
bloom of beautiful girlhood adorned the
scene last night, and the stage of the Academy
could• scarcely present a more charming or
brilliant spectacle. Fagnani could have
painted his Muses to far better effect from
scores of fair faces that we saw last evening,
than he has done, provided that he possesses
the power. But the costume which has be
come standard with these graduating classes
cannot but be unreasonably burdensome to
wore than a few of the pupils. Heavy corded
white silks, delicate head-dresses, white satin
boots,'and all the corresponding et ceterus of
a fashionable bridal party, form a very attrac
tive grouping upon the stage of the Academy,
But are there not many in every graduating
class who cannot a f ford these luxuries, and
who are yet under the compulsion of usage .
and example to strain their scanty
resources far beyond their proper capabilities,
that they may not be outshone by their more
- favaed - tistors? W throw - out - the trint;• - not
hy way of criticizing those who are able to
mess handsomely. and expensively, but by way
of relief to those who must bud it oppressive
to keep up with the style now prevalent on
these occasions. The costume is graceful, be
coming and very pretty, but these effects could
be fully attained through the medium of
simpler and therefore loss costly dres4ng.
THE VSOPOMED 110116,110 N BILL.
It is asserted that the Territorial Committee
of the House of Representatives have agreed to
report a bill to abolish polygamy, and author
izing the i'reSident to use military force if
necessary to enforce the terms of the law. We
Dare very grave doubts of the wisdom of such
legislation - as this at the present time. While
we desire to witness the destruction of lior-
ItlOttiSM and of the hideous institutions of
=l=
,
which. it is the parent,. we are sure that applica
tion of violence is not the best method-that
could be adopted for seen - ring the end. Dui
great mass of the Mormons adhere to polygamy
because they regard it as an important ele
ment in their religion, and • there is not' any
doubt that, after the faabiOn of all fanatics,
they will be ready to defend it with their
Ryes. We have bad some experience of the
difficulty of attacking this isolated commu
nity. The campaign undertaken during Presi
dent Fillmore's administration was a complete
failure in ,a military sense; nobody receiving
any benefit from it but a number of greedy
army contractors. With the Pacific Railroad
in existence, It will perhaps be an easier mat
ter to operate against the Mormons with an
army, but it must be remembered that Brig
ham Young is not wholly defenceless. He is
b( tier prepared for war than lie was at the .,
time of the last expedition. lie can rally to ,
his support a considerable force; composed
- of ,''ilisciplined 'men who • are • Alevoted
to his person and inspired with
courage by their rehgious faith. Of the ulti
mate result of a conflict with the United States
Government, there can be no doubt. We
should crush the Mormons entirely. But such
a victory could only be obtained after a long
and desperate struggle, in which thousands of
lives would be sacrificed, and millions of money
wasted. It is hardly worth while to begin
such a costly conflict unless the provocation is
much greater than it is just now. Indeed, this
threatening attitude of the government is
peculiarly inopportune at the present time.
The Mormon church is distracted with
schisms ; the people are fast di
viding themselves into factions under
rival leaders, and there seems to be a fair pros
pect that the miserable organization will de
stroy itself, if it is not molested: An assault
upon it by the government would heal all dif
ferences immediately, and unite the people in
defence of their religion. It will be a wiser
policy to pertnit - thtse destructive influences to
work undisturbed.; to encourage a flow of im
migration to the territory, and to wait patiently
for the results which must follow from close
contact of the Mormons with a powerful Gen
tile community, and with a civilization higher
than their ONSID. The slow process of decay in
this case will be very much surer in its conse
quences than the most vigorous manifestation
of power.
It might have been supposed that the indig
nation which the Legislature brought down
upon itself, last winter,, by its city railway jobs
would have prevented the introduction of any
more propositions to extent the unpaid privi
leges of. these monopolies. -.But M.—Elliott, of
this city, has introduced a bill authorizing
the Thirteenth and Fifteenth streets Railway
Company to construct a turnout on Locust
street, from Thirteenth to Fifteenth streets.
The Legislature certainly will not pass this bill.
If there is a feeling in which the people of
Philadelphia are agreed, it is the feeling that
they have most foolishly thrown away an im
portant source of revenue upon these monopo
lies, and they want no more of it. ,In this
particular case, every property owner on the
two squares of Locust , street, and the
Directors of the Academy of Music, are entirely
opposed to running the cars through Locust .
street. The Philadelphia Library Company
has just bought a site for its new buildinc there,
on account of the quietness and seclusion of
the neighborhood. The frequenters of the
Academy of Music are within a short square
of the present route of the cars, and there is
no good or just reason why this quiet and nar
row street shall be given up to this railway
company. Governor Geary will scarcely sign
such a bill, after being hurried by interested
parties into signing the odious Twelfth and
Sixteenth streets bill last winter, a measure
which jeoparded his re-election, last fall, more
than any other single cause. We call public at
tention to lir. Elliott's movement, and call
upon the Legislature toi give it a quietus at
once.
Judge Woodward, in his lame effort to justify
his opposition to the League Island measure,
declared that the commerce of Philadelphia
was on the decline, and that the customs duties
had dwindled to $50,000 for one month. Here
are a few figures obtained from the - Custom
House, which show how ignorant Judge Wood
ward is of the subject.
The customs receipts in Philadelphia in 1869
.were $8,309,094 41, or an average per month
of $697,499 53. The receipts are always
smallest In the months of December and Jan
uary, and here is a comparison of them during
those months in 1868 and 1869:
December. January. Total.
1869 $428,518 66 $476,908 80 1905,421 46
1868 357,382 38 320,998 52 678,380 90
Increase.. $71,136 28 $155,910 28 $227,046 56
Here is a handsome increase, instead of the
decline" Judge Woodward speak's of. We
also learn that the receipts .for the current
month will be about $680,000, showing an in
crease of about $200,000 over January of last
year. But Judge Woodward can hardly be
expected to tell the truth about Philadelphia.
He is trying to take his revenge on her citizens
who, when he was the Democratic candidate
for Governor ? in 1803, gave a majority of 7,081
against him.
The grievance under which American book
publishers labor, from want of sufficient pro
tection from foreign competitors, seems likely
to be partially removed. The Committee of
Ways and deans in the House has agreed to
report a duty of 25 cents a pound on imported
books, bound or unbound, and one of 15 cents
a pound on pamphlets and periodicals imported
oitt`side of thh — iiiiiirs - .; Mari nrin'obitaniiit
a stop , to the excessive importation, of books
from England, which, under the present tariff,
can be printed for the American market and
sold, here much cheaper than equally good
American editions. Our publishers are heavily
taxed on their manufactures and on all the ma
terials they use. These taxes added to
the want of protection have been almost ruin
ous to many houses. The proposed duty will
be a great-relief to them, and will stop the in
flux of large editions printed abroad.
An esteemed correspondent, whose views on
most subjects are in accord with ours, sends us
a communication in favor of retaining the In
terne Tax. While differing from him as to the
necessity and fairness of the tax, we consider
him entitled to a hearing, and print the article
in another part of tl►is paper.

CITY BULLETIN.
PIGEON SnoreriNn.—The P. S. P. C. A. haye
issued orders to their agents to " arrest any
person or persons found joining in, aiding or
abetting a pigeon match.' It seems that some
time last week a "pigeon match" came off in
the vicinity of Germantown, at which a num
ber of the poor birth were wounded, but not
enough so, to kill them. Thus maimed, they
flew to farm houses, and fluttered around, not
only affrighted, but apparently suffering great
pain. One bird had its eyes shot out, and be
ing 'linable to see which course to fly, acci
dentally came in contact with a win
dow, where it attracted the attention of
the inmates, most of them ladies. This and
other facts gave rise to the order as above
noticed. " Pigeon shooting" is a barbarous
species of gambling, and the only wonder is
that it has been tolerated so long. On some
occasions of these matches the pigeons were
squeezed, so they could not fly readily or very
fast when let out of the trap. Sometimes
pins were stuck into them to cripple the birds,
in order to give the 'sportsman' a better op
portunity to "mark" them. We have seen
pigeons when let out of the traps entirely un
able to fly because of recent injuries caused by
the process of squeezing until their little
frame or ribs would crack. On one occasion
a pigeon was so badly injured that In the at
tempt to fly, from the trap it fell dead from the
exertion.
In order that the general reader may under
stand something about a pigeon match, we
will state that a trap containing the pigeons
is constructed so that one may be let out at a
time by pulling a string. The shooter, com
monly called " sportsman," stands at a meas
ured distance, say thirty to forty-five yards,
from the trap. Eighty yards make the usual
bounds; that Is to say . , a radius of forty yards
describes a circle of eighty in diameter. One
and a half ounce of number seven shot is
usually used for one load. If.the pigeon is
wounded, and falls within the bounds, as de
scribed, it counts one. if it flies be
the bounds, and keeps outside, it counts
nothing. The bird now becomes common
property, and any. outside gunner may shoot
at it. A pigeon thus conditioned was shot by
live gunners. It Hew half a mile, when it fell,
and soon after died. Upon picking its
feathers off, its body presented the appearance
of a pepper-box lid. Many pigeons escape
wounded, to linger and suffer more or less
pain, owing to these pigeon -matches, which
the Society are determined to stop by the
prompt application Of the law. There is more
or less whisky used among the "sports" on
such occasions, and sometimes there are quar
rels, which result in broken heads and split
noses. The -whole affair is eminently barbar
ous. If sports desire to try their skill in the
use of shot-guns,there are many other better
arrangements than shooting at pigeons pur
posely squeezed'or otherwise injured.
Finis AT GLoucEsrEn.—This morning about
two o'elook a fire broke out in the establish
ment known as the Terra Cotta Works, and
located between the print works of the
Gloucester Manufacturing Company and the
Washington Mills. The buildings comprising
-tbe establishment are of brick, are one and
two stories in height, and fitted up with ma
chinery for the manufacture of terracotta
ware. The structures were: not used for
manufacturing purposes, 'however, the former

SAruntAy, Jan. 29, 1870—Tho' Philadelphia molter
market, contrary to rule on Saturday, is exceedingly
quiet, and the demand limited to business wants in the
absence of speculation. The bank currency is leaving
us, to some extent, for the West and the interior of the
country, but It is still largely in excess of the wants of
the market, which makes lenders act somewhat liberally
with borrower° of good standing and credit.
The rates this morning were about the same as yester
day, and the impression Is general that no material re
daction below the present range caa be expected. Call

Currency balances--
There was an active investment demand for the live
twenties of all the issues, which kept m ices strong
despite the weakness and decline in gold. In the Gov ,
eminent list the feature was, however, an advance of
about a half per cent. in the currency bonds. which en
joyed the effects of both a good demand and the enhanee
ment yf greenback values by the yielding In gold.
Among tile government houses the rate on call was
easy at. four to flee per cent., but most of the stock
houses paid six in new transactions, and, just before 3
o'clock some tardy borrowers readily paid seven. The
increasing volume of speculation at the Stock Exchange
is beginning to absorb more of the idle capital which
has found its way into Wall street since - New Year's.
Commercial paper was in demand at rates last quoted.
Home short•time "gilt-edged" notes are said to have
been done at even less than seven per cent., but the
transactions are as yet so few as hardly to be quotable.

flovizi Jan. 29, 2 P. lile—Some important
news has transpired in reference to the
business before the (Ecumenical Council. A
schedule communicated to the Council pro
poses that the Council shall declare that the
Pope, by virtue of his office as the
Elected of the Church, is, the abso-
Into head of an ' ilnfallible Church;
infallible as Chief Priest and Potentate, supe
rior to and independent of all Ecclesiastical
Councils. The schedule confirms the divine
right of all Princes, and recognizes that their
royalty conies by the grace of God. - -
The theory of universal suffrage as a politi
cal dogma is reprobated, and the influence of
the Church will be opposed to it as in conflict
with the true theory of the headship of the
Church and the Pontifical infallibility. The
temporal power of the Pope as the Prince of
the Boman States and an independent sove
reign is,recognized and defined,
No discussion will be allowed upon the re
port of the Commission charged with present•
ing and remodelling the schedule. The mem
bers of the Council will merely vote "placer"
or " non placet," without debate.
[ Special De:switch to the Philada.' Evening Bulletin.'
'Wterirscao.tc, Jan. al.—A letter was pub
lished here this morning from Governor Ash
ley, of Montana Territory, defending himself
from the charges , of forsaking Republican
principles and changing front upon the negro
question in order to suit the locality of Dionon,
tana.
He says be has never believed in extending
the ballot to all classes, but he always favored
allowing suffrage to those only who are well
qualified to sustain a republican form of f.rov
erntnent, and this is not true of many
negroes, Indians, and Chinese. The letter
is not likely to add to General Ash
ley's strength among politicians.
A partial canvass of the Senate shows that
there will be more opposition to the passage
of the bill abolishing the franking privilege
than has been generally supposed. In fact,
the bill is likely to be discussed very fully
before any vote is reached,and it is in no wise
certain of going thrOugh the Senate without
some amendments. An effort will be made to
pass an, amendment to exempt from its opera
tions all newspapers circulated within the
county where printed, and the free list of ex
changes.
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AS A TERRITORY
The proposition to give the District of Co
lumbia a territonal form of government; with
a delegate in Congress, is daily gaining
strength with the members of both branohes
of Congress, and although meeting with
strong opposition from the city officials, who
desire tos.retain their present positions, it is
likely to become a law during the present ses
sion of Congress.
With the passage of such a bill, it is averred
that hundreds of thousands of dollars to the
city will be saved by cutting off corrupt of.
ficials, and that thousands of worthless people
who remain here to subsist off of - the crumbs
of Congress will seek honors elsewhere. It is
noticeable tbat nearly the entire opposition to
this scheme comes from the District office
holders or contractors.

A. Lively Town Six Weeks Old.
The town of Evans, in Colorado Territory,
affords a striking illustration of the rapid
growth of the Far West A pleasant sketch
of this thriving young place.. appears in
the Boston Voinniontvealth—a correspondent
writing as follows:
" Evans is a thriving town about six weeks
Old. I was too late by a few weeks to witness
the birth of a city; here it is now in running
order—some two hundred houses—all stores
apparently,or places of business; saloons very
abundant; and several young-looking hotels,
with large names. It is midway between Den
ver and Cheyenne, and is the terminus (Jan.
2) of the branch of the Union Pacific road to
Denver; and a busy place it is, with quite an
amount of trade. The citizens are placing con
siderable confidence in their back country,
which, they say, of itself will supporta. town.
Knowing some of this back country, and'
knowing that in a circuit of twenty-five miles
there may be three ranchmen or farmer, pos
sibly five, I should say they were discounting
the future largely; but from what I have
known of these regions it will not_ surprise
me if a year hence some wandering circus
company sliculd stop here and show itself to
au audience of five hundred.
"One thing I noticed, coming into it—that
the land from three to ten miles from this
young blossom of a towu-,to be, they say, the
capital of Weld county—was covered with the
antelope. They have always been a pleasant
sight to me in my travels over these plains,
and I had thought I had seen some • but the
prospect I am referring to surpassed anything
1 had ever dreamed of. For ten miles we
were never out of sight of them. One
herd'—it' that is the expression—l think
covered three, yes, six hundred
acres! They seem to be about one to every
twenty square feet. They were lost in the dis
tance, but my glass showed no thinning be
yond .the. ordinary_eye,sight, range. It _yon
will figure this out you will say ' I am nob
setting it too high when I say that there were
a million, at least, in that herd. Old hunter's
said they never saw such a sight. They have
scattered, I dare say, ere this ; but it did seem
as though Evans could be self-fed for a spell,
and the provision stores indicated it, as deer
were piled up in cords.
"Like the East, this new city is complaining
of a lack of ready money. 'lt was supposed
by, one of the city fathers that there was only
the place; that;
concentrated by the aid of whisky in the
saloons, the saloons disbursed it to the hotels,
and they to the trade, and thus every twenty-,
four 'hours all the wheels of trade got
greased; and that but s • for whisky the
town ' would be dry. So by the quench
ing of thirst in this vile way the sinews of war
—trade, rather—are kept hero; or otherwise
(and but for these drinking and gambling so
loons) currency in Evans would be one of the
lost arts. I never beard a good liquor argu
ment in my life, yet I must own it I were a
merchant, of Evans I should proviSionally
thank God for whisky, and at the same tinge
keep not only my powder dry but my throat
also."
