About eue-quarter of the news fins given by
Ile to pill' readers was delivered to us by, the
agent of a combination of New York morning
papers, called the " New York Associated
Press." The other three-fourths came from
special correspondents'of the .Bur.irrirr -
at
Washington, Harrisburg, and othr places, and
from the recently organized combination
called the "American Press Association." This
bids fair to be a successful rival to the
New ~York, Associated Preis. • The
BULLETIN takes and pays for the
news of each, besides keeping special corres
pondents under pay in many places, to com
municate any news of interest that may occur.
The experience of a few days with the Ame
rican Press Association shows that it is of more
*aide to - us and Otlr readers than the New Yo - rk
Associated Press, and when its arrangements
are completed, we believe it will make its anti
quated and monopolizing rival superfluous.
The " New York Associated. Press" consists
of the old New York morning papers, which
combined to save expense, and which, besides
saving, make money by selling their news to
such papers throughout the Union as ate wil
ling to pay for it. Philadelphia has been
allowed to share the privileges of the
association,- by paying a handsome price
per week. The evening papers of Phila
delphia, under sufferance of the old morning
papers, have bad a small amount of the
. news
of the Associated Press vouchsafed to them,
but they have had to pay. dear, for it. For a
number 'of years' the. EVENING BULLETIN
has paid more per week to the Associated
Press than any one of the morning papers, and
it will pay more this very week. And yet the
amount and quality of the news given us has
beep so poor that we have been compelled to
employ special telegraphic correspondents at
many important points, and now, in addition,
we unite,, with three other Philadelphia
papers the Morning Post, the Evening
Star and the Day to give our
support to the "American Press Association."
Under the stimulus of the rivalry of this new
institution, the New York "Associated Press"
is giving us, just now, rather more news than
usual ; for heretofore - nearly everything im
portant has been held back from in order
that it might be kept fresh for the morning
papers. But this is a mere spasm, on which
we have no reliance; for henceforth our chief
reliance Is to be on the " American Press As
sociation"—the "A. P. A."—which, even in
its infancy, • is doing better for us than the
Associated Press" of the New York morning
papers ever did, ever could, or ever would do.
THE PROPOSED ASSAULT UPON THE
KORBIONS.
If any argunSent was
_needed, in addition to
those already urged against the passage by
(Aggress of a law prohibiting and punishing
polygamy, it might be found in 'the fact that
the Gentiles of Utah are bitterly opposed to
such a measure. The editor of the Corinne
Beporter--the leading Gentile paper hi the ter
ritory—declares that if such a bill is passed, he
believes the enraged Mormons will raze Co
rinne and other Gentile settlements to the
ground, and probably, in their fury massacre
most of the inhabitants. We do not think this
statement at all exaggerated. Its author has
lived in Salt Lake City for many years, and he
has proved his courage by waging bitter, fero
cious, unrelenting war upon the Mormon Saints
in their very stronghold. He knows the char
acter of the people, the infatuation of their
devotion to Brigham Young, the ferocity of
their hatred of the Gentiles, and the intensity
,If their fanatical devotion to their religion.
As an evidence of the fact that he expresses
the general #pprehension that is felt by the
Gentile population, we have reports that these
are fonning themselves into military organi
zations for the purpose of defending themselves,
their
.and__,tpeir property from the
threatened blow. in the meantime the Mor
mons also are actively engaged in warlike pre
parations, and, if report speaks truly, they have
twenty-five thousand troops ready to take the
held. Such a force as this, composed of men
who are not only inspired by religious enthusi
asm, but who believe that their most sacred
personal rights are in danger, would sweep the
Gentile population from the Territory, •and
offer such effectual resistance to Government
teeeps, that victory would be • obtainod
only after a costly and bloody war.
Congress then, must answer this
,;• grave question before it! pas s e s the
reposed bill : Is it worth while to lavish
'money and human lives in a war, and to im
peril the decent population of the torritory
• merely to get rid of a hideous Institution which

man, '" You just lei them, hang
you if they want to ; Pil make 'em
sweat for it , if they do."' , These people wi4elY
prefer the',ounce of prevention. They have a
!right to be 'heard in this matter; to claim'the
protection of the Government
• from the im
pending danger, and •to be permitted to escape
the penalty of foolish legislation by men who
are safe in Washington. • And if this is not,
sufficient,, We (lintel) the members of Congr6s l ,
who advocate the polygamy bill, that the people '
of this country do not want a war of' anikind
for, any purpose whatever. Our burden of
debt is heavy enough, and the 'sacrifice of
,human life in the recent war was mat enough
to content the most belligerent spirits that have
common sense to guide their convictions.
A Mormon war will add to the burden and in
crease the sacrifice, and we shall gain absolutely
nothing that might not be obtained by better
and surer means. , The Pacific Railroad 'is
worth a thousand armies as the enemy of the'
Mormon heresy. The current of healthy civi
lization which pours along the iron artery, will
make this hideous sore slough off and turn to
rottenness and decay more surely than any
thing else could do. The railroad is filling the
Mormon settlements with Gentiles; it, is bring
ing decency and purity into contact with cor
ruption, and foulness ; and it is planting among
the Saints the seeds of discord and disintegra
tion. 1 . Already 'the Church' is troubled with
,schisms, and the members are dividing into
factions which are kept apart by hatred nearly
as intense, as that felt for the Gentiles. Our
policy should be to encourage these divisions;
a war will heal them. If they continue and
%crease, the 'whole Mormon edifice will
crumble to pieces, and we shall be rid of po
lygamy without striking a blow. It is the
slower process, but it is the surer, cheaper and
safer.
The late fight over •the spoils of the State
Treasury seems likely to be productive of sub
stantial good. The investigation which has
resulted from it, no matter how• it may now
terminate, has already passed the " whitewash
ing" point. It has placed upon record enough
to settle the essential points necevary to prove
that the past system of the Treaswership of
Pennsylvania has been as bad as it well could
be. We say "the past system," for, after the
exposure now made, it will •be impossible to
continue a system open to so much abuse, and
the cause of the scandalous scenes which an
nually disgrace the Capital of the State.
Mr. Mackey, the present Treasurer is no,
worse than his predecessors. He appears to
have run the financial machinery of the State
very much as it has been running for years
past. But his examination proves two things.
In regard to the office itself, it proves that it
cannot be obtained without paying for it. For
Mr. Mackey swears that be is worth no more
money now than he was before he was elected
Treasurer. What is the fair inference from
this testimony? Only this: that whatever
may be the emoluments of the office,—and Mr.
Mackey refuses to say what they have been,—
one year's occupancy of the office is insufficient
to do more than to balance the expenditure
requisite to obtain . the election, and therefore
it is usually considered a kind of right that the
same Treasurer shall be re-elected at lease
twice, in order to make the office pay. In
other words, all the profits of the first year are
absorbed by the original outlay. Whether the
investigating committee will go far enough
back, to ascertain wherein this outlay consists,
remains to be seen. If the purpose is to probe
this sore to the bottom, this should certainly
be done.
But Mr. Mackey's testimony also proves
that the public ,funds are loosely scattered
throughout the State " from Dan to Beer
sheba," loaned not only to incorporated banks,
but to private individuals, and often not
available without giving the favored borrowers
"a great deal of trouble." This was well
known before, but the public now have the in
formation on the sworn testimony of the State
Treasurerhimself.. That millions of_ the pub
lic money should thus be used for the private
advantage of State ofilei private bankers or
particular banks, while the State derives no
benefit and holds no adequate security, is as
unsafe as it is unjust, and the people of Penn
sylvania may congratulate themselves at the
prospect of having the whole bad system bro
ken up.
It speaks very badly indeed for the police
system of Philadelphia that the notorious
convict and fugitive from justice, "Jim" Hag
gerty, has been suffered to travel about_ the
country, for more than three months, un
molested and uncaptured. He appears to be
as well known iu New York as in Philadelphia,
and has just turned up in the former place as
the perpetrator of a murderous assault upon
another ruffian, known as "Reddy, the Black
sthith." The gang of superior outlaws to
which Haggerty belongs, and to whose assist
ance he was undoubtedly indebted for his
escape from custody, in October last, has been
subdued and quieted by the storm of
public indignation which their evil deeds
brought about their ears, and the punishnient
that has overtaken some of their number.
But the disgraceful fact remains On record that
. _
the police of Philadelphia have proved them
selves unable or unwilling, or both, to recap
ture a noted outlaw, who; as it now appears,
hes been walking the streets of New York
with the same security that • he once enjoyed
in this city. After . this, last outrage, he will
probably hide himself away again, for a time,
until his brutal instincts prompt him to the
commission of some fresh crime. If our de
tective police force possessed a tithe of the
spirit or the ability which they ought to pos
sess, this man would have been safe in the
Eastern Penitentiary long ago. If a handsome
reward bad been offered for Haggerty's
,cap
tnre, there would have been activity and. nge
nuity enough displayed, and he would have
been unearthed long ago.
Possibly the New York pollee may do better.

IVEATiIr 14011.A:CE 11INICEir, JR.
l'hilarielpl,,a lose , one of ter heit and purest
citizens by the death of 4oraec .Binney, Jr.,
who'died last Evening, after a:very brief illness,
resulting from a stroke of ParalYsis, at. the age
of SixtY.:one years.
Mr. Binney was one of publle men
who eotild never be made public'except, under
the pressure of a conviction of. positive duty.
Gifted with a rare modesty of character, he
shrunk from notoriety, and yet, 'in the defence
of any principle or in the performance of any
of, those duties which belong to the obligations
of good citizenship, belwas bold and uncom
promising to the last degree. Mr. Binney was
a prominent and most vainable mem
ber of Select Council prior to con
solidation, at a time when the standards
of that body were higher than they have ever
been since. After his retirement to private life
be continued the practice of his profession, as
one of the worthiest ornaments of the Phila
delphia bar, and at the outbreak of the Rebel
lion gave himself with the most earnest devo
tion to the cause of iris country in "every way
in which be could.best serve her interests. As
the head of 'the Philadelphia bran& of the
United States Sanitary Commission, he la
bored with untiring diligence. As one of the
founders and first vice-presidents of the Union
League, he contributed largely to the moral in
fluence and active energies of that, great or
ganization,and 'at the'time of his death had just
entered upon the second year of his presidency
of that body.
A 'striking Illustration of the strength of
principle by which • 4r. Binney subordinated
his personal love of retirement to his sense of
public duty was given, on the occasion of the
meeting of the General Convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in this city, in
1865. He there stood up manfully against the
whole slavery-tainted Southern wing of the
Convention, insisting that it was their duty to
return thanks to Almighty God for the suppres
sion of the Rebellion and "for tbe removal of
the great occasion of national dissension and
estrangement," slavery. Mr. Binney was bitterly
opposed, but would not surrender the noble
position be bad taken; and when the patriotic
bishops and clergy assembled at the Church of
tbe Epiphany to celebrate their. Thanksgiving
Service, Mr. Binney laid aside the ,stricter re
quirements of his old-fashioned Churchtnan
ship, and came forward at the chancel to make
an earnest and eloquent address in Support of
the principles which he had as bravely main
tained on the floor of the Convention.
In 'every relation of life, public and, private,
Mr. Binney was a tine type of the modest
Christian gentleman, imblemished in personal
and professional character; liberal and honora
ble in all his dealings ; clear in judgment; fear
less'and independent in every aettoir N His loss
falls heavily, as it dcies suddenly, upon family,,
friends and feliow 7 citizens, for he was one of a
class of whom the country has great and
creasing need.
Mr. Binney's venerable and honored father
still survives him, and the community at, large
sympathize deeply with him ill this severe be
reavement.
. Our Street-railway corporations appear to
own not only all the highways of Philadelphia,
but nearly all the Legislature of Pennsylvania..
Franchises which might have brought hundreds
of thousands of dollars into the public treasury,
are demanded gratuitously from the Legisla
ture and are almost always' freely granted.
Yesterday the Senate threw another of these
valuable franchises into the lap of one of these
Monopolies, robbing the citizens of one more
of their rights and cutting off another of the
sources of public revenue. Property- . owners
and residents unanimously protest against
the construction of a railway on Locust'
street; but the railway monopoly,
orders its agents at Harrisburg to disregard the
protest and to turn over another of the streets
of Philadelphia to the greedy speculators
whom these agents serve, and the order is
obeyed. Of the Philadelphia delegation of,
senators, one only, and he a Democrat, has
the courage to stand up against this fresh in
vasion of public and private rights, and Mr.
Nagle will gain the gratitude of those who
have resisted this new monopoly, while those
who are so desirous to grant it will get no
thanks from, the corporation, on, which they
confer this privilege. •
While the invasion of Locust street is not so
fpeat an outrage as the Twelfth and Sixteenth
streets bill, of last winter, it, is of the same'
fondly. The people of Philadelphia naturally`
feel that they have, given away quite enough
to these railway monopolies, for almost nothing,
and they'd° not wish to give them more; cer
tainly not without being paid for the valuable
privilege. if this Locust street bill goes
through the Home, as we suppose it will, we
trust that the Governor will veto it, on the
ground that it is net needed by the people, one
is strenuously opposed bi the parties who are
must directly affected by it.
We are unable to see the point of Mr. Con-'
nell's bill in reference to railroads in Fairmount
Payk. Its professed object is to prevent the
construction of any railroad within the Park,
from this time forth, forever. How such a bill
is to secure this perpetual prohibition we are
at a loss to, understand. Nothing is easier than
to get a railway privilege. through the Pennsyl
vania Legislature. It has been done, again
and again, in the face of all right and reason,
and this bill will not prevent it. The next
Legislature can repeal Mr. Connell's bill,
and will repeal it, if anybody ebooe,es
to make it an object to do so.
The people of Philadelphia have a better
protection against railroads in the Park than
any such legislation as this. The Park is

k NEW CASTLE, Del.,'Feb. 4.—An immense
etrtikwd "gatheied in the town this morning,
b*t only about , six hundred persons were ad
raided to the prison yard.
'l'„he prisoners slept Roundly last night—Jonas
Ter, comfortably, but Carpenter complained
cramp in the early part of the night, but slept
well afterwards, and both ate hearty break
fasts. Jones professes to be perfectly resigned.
Carpenter, however, says very little.
The Rev. Stephen F. Wittington, of Wil
mington M. E. Conference, commenced the
religlons, services at about ten o'clock, in the
o
sell,nd subsequently be was joined by the
Rev. Wtn. Hudson, of Pennville, N.J. The
prisoners joined in the singing and praying.
J'ones manifested great excitement, shouting,
.serearaing and jumping from "religious joy,"
a.s is said.
A number of reporters are present from
Philadelphia, New York and Wilmington.
A jury was drawn to witness , the execution •
consisting of twelve citizens of the county.
The mothers of • both the men have visited
them several times,. of late, but were not
present today.'
After the religions services, several of their
relatives—one a woman—visited them and
took leave of the prisoners, both of whom
still appear calm.' '
Yesterday afternoon Rev. Mr. Spencer, of
the Episcopal Church of this town, baptized
both prisoners, and this morning at 9. o'clock
be administered the Holy. Communion to
them. •
At twelve o'clock all the preparations were
complete. The ollicers proceeded to the cell,
and the prisoners were brought out. A pro
cession dm, the_ corridor, the
Rev. C. S. Spencer, of Immanuel Episcopal
Church, walking at the head, reading the
130th Psalm, De Prolumlis,"Ont of the deep
have I called - unto thee, 0 Lord!" Arriving
at the'scatfold the, services stopped, and the
Sherrill asked the prisoners if they bad
,any
remarks to make.
Jones wade an address, for about two
minutes, repeating . what be had said in 'the
cell yesterday, declaring C,arpenter to , be in
nocent, and saying he " had urged him to the
deed." '
The clergy now read the final prayer: in the
Office for the Visitation of Prisoners, fol
lowed by the Commendatory Prayer at the
point of departure, and closing with the bene
diction, and then, left, leaving on the scaffold
Jacob Richardson, ex-Sheriff W. Her
bert and Prison-keepers Wise and Vining.
The two latter adjusted the ropey and the
Sheriffs fixed the caps and bade the prisonuni
good by. ' •
The Sheriff then cut the rope holding the
traps, which dropped at fifteen minutes after
twelve..
'Jones died almost instantly. Carpenter
struggled for some time, his limbs contract
ing violently for five or seven Minutes.
Just before the fall, Jones said: "Things is
serious now." Both showed great fortitude.
Dr. Ferris, the Jail physician, examined
the pulses of both men, and they were cut
down after hahanging about fifteen minutes.

The Government sold a million of gold to-day. The

, WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—The report on the ,
Paraguay investigation has been completed
by the House Committee on Foreign Afram s
and will be made to the House as soon as al
the testimony taken Is printed. The Com
mittee haie made a very thorough,investigar
tion, and have been enabled to get all the
facts bearing upon the case. The report
sustains in a great measure the course of en-
Minister Washburne, but does not
adopt his opinions as to President' Lopez
being a cruel tyrant and monster without any
feelings of humanity. The committee believe
that the naval authoritivi are highlyeensurable
for not affording Mr. Washburne safe trans
portation to Paraguay, instead of keeping him
waiting in Brazil for thirteen months. The
report is likely to give general satisfaction.

A RAILROAD BLOCKADE.
NASHVILLE, Feb. 4.—The freight blockade
at this point being raised, we now hear of a
bad state of affairs at Chattanooga. The great
rush of Southern boats has accumulated
some three hundred and fifty cars, which the
Western & Atlantic Railroad is unable to move.
Mr. Lopez, the general freight agent of the
Memphis and Charleston road,and Mr. Wood
fort, aPecial agent of..the Louisville and Nash
villa road, are endeavoring to 'arrange the
matter. The officials of the Nashville and
Memphis roads complain that the' Western
and Atlantic road is giving preference to local
freights, and especially to arrivals by river.
The commission houses on the levee at Chat
tanooga complain that their warehouses are
stocked with grain, already sold, for
which they can get no transporta
tion, and between the two dissatisfied
parties the officers of the Western and
Atlantic Road appear to be getting
their full share of abuse. The truth
is that the increasing trade between
the North and South, and especially the un
usually large shipments of mules and horses,
and of grain to feed them, besides the
large amounts of merchandise now going
down for the spring trade, are far beyond
the capacity of any single line of the roads to
transport over. The Memphis and Charleston,
Nashville and Chattanooga roads are concen
trating at Chattanooga the entire shipments
from the North for the Central South, beween '
the Atlantic and the Mississippi, and their
only outlet is by the Western and Atlantic
road, with but a single track.
THE TENNESSEE BANKS.
In the House of Representatives, yesterday,
Mr. Fleming, from the Joint Committee en
the Governor's Message, introduced a resolu
tion relative to the prevalence of mob-law
i
in the State. It sleported that a bill
would be submitted tofday to carry out the
recommendation of the Governor. The motion
to reconsider the report of the Conference
Committee on the bill to zelieve the State
Treasury was withdrawn in the House, and
the bill has now become a law. The bill makes
the notes of tbe -banks of Tennessee issued
Fier to May 6, 1861, receivable for all dues to
the State; but as the Treasury is empty, noth
ing but Tennessee money can come in.
&n amendment was added, subrogating the
State to the rights of the bolder, allowing the
Treasurer to pay out and recirculate the notes
as, they are received, thus making Vie notes of
the Bank of Tennessee a circulating medium
again.

Sestsre.—The Chair presented a res Feb olution
of a meeting of citizens in New York, held at

nize the belligerent rights of those people.
Numerous memorials were presented for the
abolition of the franking privilege.
Mr. Scott presented a. memorial from the
Medical Society of Pennsylvania asking Con
gress to give a definite and equal rank to
medical officers of the Navy.
Mr. Conkling, in presenting memorials for
the abolition of the franking privilege, stated
that as be held the floor for the census bill at
the expiration of the morning hour, he would
yield it for a motion to take up and consider
the Honse bill for the abolition of the frank
ing privilege.
Mr. Hamlin protested against the Senator
from New York bolding the floor from day
to day and parcelling it out to other Senators.
He should at the expiration of the morning
hour endeavor to , bring up the regular order
for Friday.
, Mr. Conklingdisclaimed any intention to ab
so=rb the floor unfairly, but that this subject
ought to bo disposed of.
Mr. Nye presented the proceedings of a
meeting in Alaska, praying that the benefits
of civil government may be extended to them.
Mr. Sherman presented a memorial from
the cigarmakers of Ohio, asking that the
ad valorem rule may tie adopted, in taxing
cigars.
Mr. Sumnerpresented a bill to incorporate
the Trustees of the Corcoran Gallery of Art,
and for other purposes.
Mr. Willey reported a bill to compensate
Mr, George Wright for the use by the Go
vernment of his patent linch-nin.

.William A. Griffiths, late in charge of Ander
sonville Prison.
On motion of Mr. Sherman the Senate took
.up-the-mil prescribing the duties of the - Baum,:
Lary of the Treasury in certain cases therein
named. The bill provides that whenever any
State shall have been or may be in default in
'the:payment of the interest or principal on in
vestments in its stock or bonds held by the
United States in trust, it shall be duly
authorized to retain the whole, or so much
thereof as may be necessary of any moneys
due on any account from the United States to
such State, and to apply the same to the'pay
ment of such principal and interest, or either,
or to reimbursement, with interest thereon, of
moneys advanced by the United States on ac
count of interest due on such stock or bonds.
The bill VMS considered and passed. -
Mr. Conkling presented a memoriel from

Mr. Ramsey opposed the amendment. He
said let the bill names it came from the House.
Mr. Sherman said there was no justice in
charging the same rate of postage on country
papers as on city papers.
Mr. Hamlin moved that this bill be post
poned and that the Senate business be re
sumed. This day ia set apart for District busi
mess, and he wanted it.
Mr. Conkling was willing to yield the floor
to thin bill, but to nothing else.
Mr. Ramsey moved to postpone till:to
morrow the census and all prior orders , for
the purpose of considering the pending MA.
Mr. Hamlin asked the motion to be di
vided. Agreed , to, and postponement Was
agreed to.
The question recurred on the other
branch to continue the consideration of the
franking bill.
Mr. Howe thought there was the least occa
sion for acting on this bill to-day of any, bill
on the calendar. He said this, not that he op
posed the bill, but because he was going to
vote for it as a measure of personal relief to
himself, as also to his constituents. He fa
vored the regular order of business.
Mr. Scott favored the immediate considera
tion of the bill, and moved to amend so as to
make thesct go into eflect - oriatnrch - 1," 1870.
The question being put on considering the
bill, it was lost by yeas 22, nays 34.
The Senate then took up and considered
District matters of a character entirely local.
House.—Mr. Slocum caused to be read an
advertisement in the New York Times ad
vising parties wanting appointments to vacan
cies in the Naval Academy at Annapolis and
West Point Military Academy to address the
advertiser at that office. Such advertise.
ments were calculated to bring those controll
ing these appointments into contempt. He
°tiered a resoluti.in instructing the Committee
on Military Affairs to inquire if any member
of this or preceding Congress had advertised
his services in procuring appointments in
such academies, or had received any con
sideration for such appointments.
Mr. Woodwind hoped the resolution would
be adopted. Be bad been informed by a lady
in Pennsylvania that she haitreceived a letter
from a member of Congress, offering to place
bet son In the West Point Academy for twenty
five hundred dollars.
Mr. Scofield had been reliably informed
that a member from Western Pennsylvania,
in the last Congress, had Bold appointments in
the Annapolis Naval Academy for five hun
dred dollars.' °
Mr. Kelley had seen an article in a paper
from Northern Penneylvania,charging a mem
ber with having sold a cadetship in the Naval
Academy. The editor seemed to have specific
information, and it should be investigated.
The resolution was then adopted.
Joint resolutions were presented from the
Kansas Legislature asking that the Black
Osage reservation lands be sold to actual set
tlers. Also urging the abolition of the frank
