THE LOSID.BI:SATOB.I7 , •
Inelltillitubee between man ly independence
mid unmanly obstinacy is a very broad one,
skid*The AWO qualities are frequently
for each other. And' this rubitake may
arise either from imperfect knowledge of the

Carom ro a Mix:lain of motives in which the good
and , bad, are unev.enty .blended. ,
tl3enator Lowry, like .every other public ser
vithtris:open.to the fullest and freest criticism
Sdi all his public acts. 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

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.

the • President has spoken out quite

making some disposition of this nomination,
is acting in an ungenerous spirit; and

filet has greatly encouraged Mr. Hoar%

there is less open and violent

SPEECH OF HON. 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.

CITY BULLETIN.
INCOME TAX—IfEETING Or TUE COMMEEt
eIm, EXCHANGE—At a, apoolal meeting of the
Association, held this morning, the following
, resolutions, offered by George L. Busby, Esq.,
were adopted by, a very large majority
Wherms, The Income tax is strictly a war tax and
should have ceased with the war which gave It birth ;
and
•
Whereas, Well-founded doubts of its constitutionality
exist ; and
Whereas, It Is thoroughly demoralizing by the pecu
liar provocation It affords to. 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.

Brown, all colored, at Huntingdon, on

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.

The money market was more active, owing to the
shifting of loans on Rock Island, the borrowers becom

due to-day. After half-past two o'clock the inquiry for

and seven per cent: - was readily paid for the use of money
