He is a man of some ability, and has had long experience in the leg kiation'of Pennsylvania: ••Coming froin a dist 'part of The State, the' •share that be lies 1003. in 'that sort of ~ local legislation `bas ,lbOuol4, so , many. of .legislative colleagues under criticism in this part of the State is comparatively - unknown piorttinently befoie• the pyilAs As• .the,solitary senator, who helped largely te . defeat the wishes oi l the people of Philadelphia:lsta iiintier,ln the matter' of the Metropolitan Police bill, and who has done best,,,though, vainly, to defeat the same measure) again: . • , fp - natdr' 1 4 ott'iy, in along letter, to a Ndored friend in this city, attacks the bill with a great deal of bitteniess and no little egotism. His priefessell objections ramble over a variety of details, but we presume the cardinal point made .is contained in this following paragraph, as remarkable for the jumble or it&rhetorl6\as it is for the superficiality of its logic : NU " The bill which you ask me to vote for is at -war with the fiinciamentalprineiples on Which onr Govermnent stands. it is in the teeth of the doetrine of squatter sovereignty—a princi ple which youi race, above all others, cannot afford to surrender. It is too soon for my colored brethren in Philadelphia. to give away, heweverremote, the right of the election of theit own officers. I have fought, as it wer e , 'With "beaSts at Ephesnif,' to 'give You this right. Take it and taste it, and you will keep it. You have waited now, Oh Lord, how long! f3trike with your own ballot and hew Mayor Vox and his police force down before the Lord, and you will do it easily, if they are half as vile 'as you say they are." When Senator Lowry brings forward argu ment and appeal like this, it becomes eminently proper that the people should, look . closely to see whether this is the real ground for his ob stinate opposition to a measure in which he andliiiinsimediate . constituents certainly. have very ,little direct' interest. A. Metropolitan Police, according to Mr. Lowry, is opposed to the grand doctrine of squatter sovereignty," ortizvof the "fundamental,principles on which Our Government stands,"—or squats. Mr. Lowry. is deeply concerned lest his " colored brethren in Philadelphia" should give away "the right of the election of their own otliceis." Ile .wishes them to "hew Mayor Fok and his . police force down before the Lord," and evi dently wishes them to believe that they can best accomplish this by leaving the present police 'force to manage our elections. How Mr. Lowry's colored brethren lose their right to elect their own officers by the passage of the Metropolitan Police bill is not made appa rent, At present the police of Philadelphia, as everybody but Mr. Lowry is aware, are ap pointed by an officer called. Mayor, usually elected by.the people. Mayor Fox is,. theo retically at least, elected by the people, and is assisted by a volunteer Board of Commis sioners, consisting of Alderman. McMullin, Lewis C. Cassidy, Esq., and several other pa triotic citizens, who serve without regular sala ries. These COmmissioners are not elected by the people, and the sacred doctrine of squatter sovereignty is not recognized in their action. Under the bill. which Senator Lowry is so concerned to defeat, the police Will be appointed by a Mayor and Board of Police Commissioners, to - be elected by the people. The first Commissioners are 'named by the Legislature, but afterwards they are made elective: This seems, if anything; an im provemeht on the present method,.and, in Mr. Lowry's senatorial phrase, to "get the horse nearer to the cart" than it is under the Fox- McMillin dynasty. • . Whether it was a mere coincidence , or not; we are not able to say, but Mr. Lowry's success in getting his new county of Petroila through, almost entirely by Democratic votes, just before the 'Metropolitan Police bill came up, must have tended to put the Senator in a good Immor with the Democratic view of the Police bill, while his friendly act on this occasion will and ought to be favorably remembered by his , political adversaries, when he comes before the people for re-election. We trust that Senator Lowry will, continue his extreme conscientiousness in regard to the interests 'of Philadelphia. La'at year, when the infamous Twelfth , and Sixteenth Streets 101 was passed, Mr. Lowry promptly voted for it, without the slightest compunction. In deed be made a little speech, explaining the principle which then governed him with re gard t 4,) the local affairs of Philadelphia. Ile said: oMrc Speaker, I know nothing about the merits of .this bill, but I will note with the membeis from .Philadelphio. I vote 'aye."' It was not a very long speech, but it Races to show the great change of principle that has come over the •Senator from 'Erie; since the last year. Like all new converts, be has now rushed to the opposite extreme of an obstinate resistance to an im portant measure, advocated unanimously by the Republican delegation from Philadelphia. Let us hope that this violent oscillation will re sult in a fmal settling down to that juste that happy medium which should he the object of the truly senatorial mind. • ' We do .not .pretend to say that we are satis fied with all the provisions of the Metropolitan Police bill, for we ale . not. If we, had had the naming of the Commissioners, we would probably have named five other gentlemen than those now in the bill, and .we think we would have improved it by doing so. But the Worm itself is needed ; the bill has been care- fully drawn by competent hands; and if the Clonnuissioners fail to • give to the people of Philadelphia • the full belie iNEMINSg =MI fit Ofilielhl,4...—^"6ehtlArlestbons' trU.,,,A"'Un, by ;organizing apd maintaining IMO a police fores i as the pee* will lie prodd Of, We trtud.

BLAST F. 10.011( In the course of a . very . interesting and in structiVe lectiiin at the 'Academy Of Music' last' night,'ltev. Henry 4 . Ward Beecher went *con siderably out of his way to abuse the daily newspaper presis .of the-. country. After Ale-, notmeing - violently the practice of pablishirig accounts of crime and of the' vicious deeds of vicious men,' Mr. Beeeher used - the following language, which we quOte frem ineinory : 4 newspaper that is an epitome Of all the devil does among men, is pahlished in the interest of the devil and ought to go to the devil!" We agree with . Mr. Beecher 'to just this 'extent : that a 'journal 'Which devotes itself entirely to . publication of evil thing's, ;which presents crime in .glowing and attractive colors and glorifies it,does the devil's 'own work. But it is often. necessary that newspapers should give accounts of :criminal actions'as part Of the news of the day. If it ilifts'uplts voice in the interests of virtue, and ;makes the evil thing . appear as shocking and llpulsiVe as, it really Is, it is the champion of jthe moral welfare of the community rather than its assailant. More than 'this, the cep 'tainty that widest publicity will be given to ,misdeeds, and that the offender will be held up 'before his fellows vs-Rival! his shameful wicked ness made inanifest, and himself made the ob ject Of 'Common scorn and reproach, is the surest preventive of crime that can be devised 'by human ingenuity. When vice, is dragged • into the light and the hideous moral deforinity of its devotees is displayed before the world, men will be likely to enter its service in smaller numbers and with less eagerness than if ex posure was'not possible. It will be found, we think, that the moral 'tone of most of the newspapers in this country Is as strong and as evident as Mr. Beecher's is. The men who conduct them have the . same in 'Wrest that he hai in the promotion of virtue and the preservation of society from impurity and vice.. Whenever a grievous offence is com mitted, the newspapers speak bold, words of re buke to the sinner, and of denunciation of his crime. When, for instance, Mr. Beechergave his sanction to the crimes of Richardson, and,by his complicity might have led many weak brothers and sisters into belief that sham divorces and free love are in accordance with Divine law,the public press strove earnestly and with .sincerity and good faith to counteract. the baneful in fluence of his example. When that other ,Beecher poured out through the channels of popular intelligence a filthy stream which car ried into every family in the land knowledge of crimes: so disgusting and hideous that men blush to speak of them to each other, the newspapers of the whole world joined in pro-, testing against the offence, and, in denouncing its author, Perhaps Mr. Beecher's violence last night was the result rather of a conscious , ness of guilt, quickened into fury by sting ing rebuke and seeking , for vindica tion, than of a sincere belief in the immorality and debauchery of the public press. It was au unfortunate allusion, for, as he spoke, in every man's mind there rose a picture of that disgraceful scene by the bedside of Richard Son, and a memory of Mrs. Stowe's foul story of Byron. And there was a general feeling that, however eminent Mr. Beecher's qualifications as a teacher in other respects, he was. not fitted, from the peculiar position of himself and his family, to pass judg ment, upon a press that had dared to convict him of a ,gross assault upon public mo rality. • ANOTIIER STEAM RAYLROAD THUOVIAII THE CM/. At the present time, when we are only be ginning to realize to their full extent the evils of steam roads through the city, and when the effort is being made to do away as far as pos sible with those that already exist, it will scarcely be believed that an attempt is being made at Harrisburg to fasten another upon us and that on a line where it is in no way needed. A bill was brought forward in the House on Monday to that effect by a. city member, and no time should be lost in op posing it. The route of the proposed road is particu larly obnoxious froth the fact that it , is in tended to pass through the Park. Now our citizens are making a great effort and spending very large sums of money for the.purchase and embellishment of the. Park, and the greatest disadvantage under which it labors is the way in which it is cut up by steam roads. These interfere at every turn with the carrying out of the grounds, and will be, to all time, a nuisance almost intolerable. If, then, those that are there are so great au evil, shall we permit another, one not needed nor called for by any great business interest, to be intro , duced ? The course of the projected road is from the Schuylkill, at Columbia Bridge, westward along Columbia avenue to Fifty-fourth street; • thence southwestward along or near" Fif ty-fourth street to the Schuylkill.. fly examin ing a map, it will be seen that this line extends westward from the Columbia Bridge through the Park, running again southward and cross ing Market street exactly five blocks westward of the Insane Asylum, thence farther south till it strikes the Schuylkill. Rights are asked for to connect with all the steam-roads which are crossed, vice., the Reading, the Pennsylva nia Central and the Baltimore. The words that are italicised above would give the road the right to cross squares of ground diagonallhin the same ruinous way that was done solneyears ago by the Connect log Railroad, and the question now is whether we . are to' submit to another railroad evil of the gravest character. • We copied on Monday a letter from Colum bia, South Carolina, written by Alexander K.

ISAAC CALDWELL FRAIIIIFORT, Ky., Feb I.—The Hon. Isaac Caldwell to-night replied to the argument of Gen. Breckinridge of last night before the Joint Railroad Committee. He began by re ferring to the strictures which Gen. Breckin ridge made upon his mode ofspeech, and jus tified himself in using epithets by claiming that he spoke only as he was spoken 9f, and was only defending' the people of his own State against the vituperation of our neighbor across the river. He then read an editorial from the Gazette of the 21st, upon the adoption of the Fifteenth Amenament, and another from the Commercial of same date, to show the truth of his statement. He then plunged boldly into „ the argument and took up the proposition of General Breckinridge in de fence of his original position on the subject of the right of eminent domain. He spoke at some length, and read from numerous autho rities in regard to: the constitutionality of the Ferguson hin t and the consequent nullity of the proposed bonds.• Re reiterated his former arguments. His argument was mainly from a legal standpointand compared favorably with his first, though unconvincing to the friends of the road. At the conclusion of Mr. Caldwell's speech, which was loudly applauded by the Louisville delegates, Gen. Breckinridge made a few reztiarlm, which closed the discussion before the Committee. The measure will very likely now be intro duced before the Legislature proner, and the tight will continue with unabated ardor. There is no doubt it will meet with the favor of both Houses and be passed through. Its op ponents will demand, and probably obtain, some modifications. From Cincinnati.

Prevarication, falsehood and dishonesty, ; and Whereas, It In especially abhorrent to American citi zens to have their private !affairs rudely Investigated and published to the world ; and . .Whereas,The entire rem:ll-01,ot this tax will still leave the flovernmobt a large surplus revenue ; therefore Respired, That, In the opinion of this body this most' offensive speeirs of taxation Should be immediately abol lobed, and no further assessment be permitted under it.. Respired , That copire of the foregoing preamble and resolutions be sent to our representatives in Congress. THE COURTS. The Seidman Hondolde. argn AND' TEEMIXErt--Judges Allison and •Paxson.—ln the case of Charles Geikler, charged with causing the death of David Seidman, the Commenvvealth closed its testi mony. /ast - evening, All the medical testi mony agreed that there were no visible marks of blows, and all the physicians stated that. , the lockjaw, which caused the death, WWI not neoebSarily the result of external violence. This morning ..Ikfr. Cassidy, for the defend ant, asked the Court to declare that the COM monwealth had failed to establish a case. All the textbooks and all the decisions held that in a case +ends kind it must be shown adirnia- • tively that death watt the result of the violence. The evidence- must-exclude --every other hp ; pothesis. District-Attorney Gibbons contended that it was a case for the determination of the jury. They must take the facts and say whether from these the death resulted from the vio lence shown to have occurred in the market house. The Commonwealth has shoWn that death resulted from tetanus; that there was violence, and that violence will produce tetanus. Mr. William Mann, for the defendant, iu reply urged that the Distriet-Attorney was groping in the dash-. In thus case John and Charles Geikier were acting independently, and the conflict with John had ended before Charles came up. This being the case, the .tetanus resulted from the blows inflicted by John. This defencLant is not responsible, for he was not there at the time. Under the testimony it cannot be determined who is re sponsible if the violence caused tetanus, but in addition to this the death may have re sulted from causes other than violence. Judge Allison said it was incumbent upon the Commonwealth' to prove, beyond all rea sonable doubt, that tho blows inflicted by the defendant caused death. In this case it was in evidencetliar afterthe conflict. with John Geikler, the deceased was able to go about his business. . Subsequently he was attacked by Charles Geikler, and all the Court could do was to instruct the jury,that unless they were satisfied, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the blows inflicted by Charles caused death, they must render a verdict of hot guilty. The defence was then opened by Mr. Cassi dy, calling attention to the fact that the blow struck by the defendant was a slight one, and if the jury could find that death might have resulted from any other cause than blows, this should "relieve the defendant. In this ease Charles Geikler, moved by brotherly affec tion, went to the assistance of John, and did that which ho thought necessary torelieve him. Thejtiry should also recollect that the Aith and 21st of August last were two of the bottest days of the season, and the physicians assert that this is favorable to tetanus. Good charac ter would be proved', no one ever having heard a word against the defendant. The case is still before the Court. FINANCIAL.

The Naval Appropriation bin was under; consideration by the House Appropriation' Committee this morning, and fully examined in its details. It was not finally disposed of, but the Committee determined to cut down the appropriation below the estimates several millions of dollars. • SALARIES OF LETTER.CARRIERS The subject of increasing the pay of IT. S. letter-carriers has been partially considered by therostal Committee of the 1 - lottse; and while no conclusion was reached, the fact became apparent that the majority of the committee were adverse to any increase., NAsHvILLR, Feb. 2.—Governor Senter, , has issued a proclamation, Which appears in this morning's papers, offering a reward of "live hundred dollars for the arrest and conviction of the persons concerned in the mobbing and hanging of George. Coleman, George Balew Grandvill, Allen, Robeson and Matt. Brown, all colored, at Huntingdon, on the 21st of last month. The Governor said yesterday, in relation to the recent mob violence committed in our State, that it was a disgrace to the people; a disgrace to the laws, and a disgrace to those oilicens whose duty it was to see them en forced. He said that he intended to adopt such stringent measures as would suppress all outlawry in the State, but the manner and means of carrying them into effect he had not yet fully de termined upon. For that reason be desired to give his views upon the subject fully, pre ferring rather to withold any expression of opinion until his final conclusions should be reached. Tt is hinted that he will shortly send a message, to the Legislature regarding the matter. In the Senate vesterday,Speaker Thomas in troduced a resolution, which was laid over under the rules, that the Committee on Federal Relations, to whom was referred the action of the House of Representatives upon the proposed Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, be re quested to report thereon at as early a day as practicable.
