The Police bill passed the

iisie bilkY-eWith all ; our anxiety for - , a police
reptlin in Philadelphia, and with all our strong
delire to see pemocratic power in, the govern
awl,' of Philadelphia reduced to , a. minimum,
wgrarik. constrained in all candor , . . to express
eis earnest dissent to the bill in the form in
wbkb it has .passed. The bill itself is good
enough, but there is 'nothing in the way in
'lb `it is to be administered to secure the con-
.
Satinl of the people in advance or to ensure
ar 'such improvement in the police foree
as circumstances of Philadelphia demand.
ne friends; of . the bill,, or rather the ,engi-
Deers of the bill, have broken its back by load
imig3Lviith alioard' of COmtaissionms, com
poßed of persons who, whatever their private
and inilividttal virtues may be, are, for the
most part, Unknown tothe pablic, and 'are se
lected, not on account,of any special fitness to
administer the high duties of the , position, but
to serve the ulterior ptiiposea of the various
members of the Legislature. We are tibt im
pierdng tie personal character or motives of
the proposed Board of Police Commissioners.
One, or two Of them we know , as honorable
and' upright gentlemen, although we know
nothing of the partienlar ability of
,Any M diem' for the drale4 I 9 bg` devolycd
npod them. But the mode of their
selection and introduction Into the bill
itas an unmistakable .-° rttn p ri flbtlt it which
is fatal to the success of the ,reform which the
people of. Philadelphia so much need. It is
felt everywhere that the. Board named in the
ltill ( weakena, instead of strengthens the whole
measure. We have hoped to the last that this
feeling, so , general and so freely expressed,
would have Operated at Harrisburg to, amend
the bill in - this respect, but tifis - tope has been
disappointed.
the passage of the Police bill, now,
is far better , than failure in its administration
hereafter, and therefore we hope that Governor
Geary wit/ not sign, the bill, in its present
shape. If he will return the bill with those
respectful objections to it which must occur to
his mind, the Legislature will amend it;
far there is not strength enough to
pas it over the Governor's veto.
The Legislature is certainly not tied up, in its
choice, to the Board now named in the bill.
Arid if it is really desired to effect a reform in '
the' police system of Philadelphia, nothing is
plainer than the fact that it can only be done
by placing it in the bands of Commissioners
who will be their . own masters, and not the
" men" of , 4 Ring" politicians, as some at least,
of the proposed Board questionably are.
There is undoubtedly a tremendous pressure
upon the Governor to sign the bill, but if there
one quality which Governor Geary po'ssesses
above another, it is the power of an obstinate
resistance to undue pressure; and the Legisla
ture is hardly in a position, just now, to exer
else its full power in that direction.
We advocate the amendment of the Police
bill in the best interest of the Republican party.
The EVENING BULLETIN has done what it
could to bring about a reform in our police
system. The police of Philadelphia is now in
the hands of I)emocratic politicians' who can
. not be trusted with such a responsibility, and
the sooner it is taken away from them the bet
ter for the peace and safety of the community.
But it will be anything but an advantage to the
Republican party to revolutionize the police
force without reforming it ; and if it is to be
radically reformed, there must , be Bosh a Board
of Commissioners as will, from the very start,
command the general confidence and respect
- of the -community. „ Such a. Board. can
doubtedly be appointed, if the Legislature
chooses to do so; and that the opportunity may
be'diiectly presented to that body, we repeat
our hope that the Governor will withhold his
signature from the bill.
TUE ANGORA SNARE.
Mr. Representative Miller, a very respectable
Republican member from the Eighteenth Leg
islative District, made a very remarkable exhi
bition of himself yesterday, in..a speech ex
planatory of the Schuylkill and Angora Rail
road snake, which has been so promptly "run
into the ground" by the universal condemna
tion of the journala of this city. Mr. Miller
indulged in a very unbecoming outburst of con
temptuous wrath because the newspapers have
so unsparingly denounced a scheme which he
introduced for the destruction of Fairmount
Park. It now appears,—what Mr. Miller had
better have made known at the first,—that he
introduced this outrageous bill to oblige a
single constituent, and that he did not mean to
vote for it or expect any one else to do so. If
this explanation had accompanied the in
troduction of the bill, it would have saved Mr.
Miller the painful inecessity of making such a
very indiscreet speech as ho put on record yes
terday: That gentles= is "old enough, and
big enough, and ought to know better," than
to talk about this Angora "snake," as such a.
"trivial affair," or about the honest criticisms
of a vigilant press as "idle, silly and wicked."
The "newspaper fraternity of Philadelphia" is
by no means "thrown into convulsion.s' w by
these mischievous leeislative performances; but,
as a general rule, it keeps a more watchful and
independent eye over the interests of Philadel
pbla than dO, many of our legislators, and the
woight of its influence is generally, thrown on
the side of protecting the public interests of
the community.
Mr. blunder was a two-fold one.
First, be had no business to introduce this
411usgara " snake" at all. Ile considers It his
ditty to pre sent
, every bill that is sent to him,
no matter what it may be, only provided that

Ilesnaers hipmelt a mere voting machine, lay
, jag no individual responsibility; a wit of Rai-
mated letter-bo,y ;which honest men and
rascals alike may deposit their budgets, for the
Safe introduction of , which to the Committees
of the Legislature be sits to his plaee. Mr.
Miller's second blunder consisis in reserving
his explanation until it was extorted fret° hint
by the public press. This 'proposition needs
no elucidation., --
One good" thing . cameo 'out of this foolish
speech. It reveals to, the people of Philadel
phia that itetresentati4eililler Is the Father
and Founder,of Fairmount ; ; Park,. and, to, a
considerable extent, the dcnor of George's Hill
to the city. Should any one of Mr. Miller's
constituents send up a bill conferring on him ,
the right to add , the initials i!F. F. F." to hiti
name, we trust that he will feel it ,bis duty te,
present it, and we are sure that it will' pass by
a unanimous vote. ', ,
THE MECOND STREET lorminpar.
On' Thursday-Yr. blokes introduced .to the
House of Representatives,at Harrisburg, a bill,
the design of which is to break up the sideitalk
market on Second street. SiMilar bills have
been offered during every sessiorr of the Legis-•
lature for years past, and they have always
seen defeated. It is not very likely that this
one will have a better fate;" but we hope it
may, for it is aimed at a nuisance which has
long demanded abatement. There is a popular
impression that the dealers who offer goods for
sale in this market are guileless countrymen
who bring from their rural residences pure
•and fresh food which they offer at uncommonly
low prices. Even if this were true, we know
of no reason why such persons should be pen-
Witted to blockade the street during
two days of every week,and injure the busi_
ness ot regular dealers who pay license fees and
• rent market stalls of the city. But this theory
is altogether false. The very large majority of
these persons are professional city hucksters
who sell their goods from wagons which never
leave the city, or else hucksters who collect
goods through the country, bring them to town
in the cars and dispose of them from the tail
, boards of wagons which are hired from up
41vqn-keepers have thcm on baud
for this purpose. Provisions disposed of in '
this market are not sold at lower rates than
others in other places. They bring regular
market prices, and the ingenious huckster
pockets the amount that his more honest
brother has to pay for licenses and for rent of
But the most serious objection to this market
iS that it injures the general business of this
busy street. The contrary opinion hall been
expreisedby the opponents of the plans for re-
Inoval; but the strongest evidence of the truth
of this assertion is furnished 'by the fact that'
every leading storekeeper in certain of the
most crowded squares has, over and over
again, signed petitions to successive Legisla
tures asking that this sidewalk traffic may be
broken up. Certainly these men know whether
they do or do not profit by the market; and
they are entitled to consideration, for they pay
heavy rents, taxes and license fees.. They
have a right to demand that the authorities
shall keep the pavements in front of their stores
free from obstructions and from throngs of peo
ple who come to buy marketing, not drY goods,
bonnets, clothing, drugs, or 'any articles of
regular merchandize. If the members of the
Legislature desire a further expression of
opinion from these gentlemen, it will doubt
less be furnished speedily. It would have been
done ere this, perhaps, if the petitioners had
not learned, from many bitter disappointments,
that their representatives at Harrisburg are not
disposed to do them justice. If any set of
hucksters undertook to establish a market
Upon the pavements of Chestnut street, they
would be removed at once. They have no bet
ter right on Second street than that given by
ancient and oflensive custom; and the Second
street business men find the presence of the
market people no more pleasant or profitable
ban the merchants of Chestnut street would
if they were established in that thoroughfare.
The Legislature of Pennsylvania, regarding
its management of public affairs ,with very
unwarrantable satisfaction, has now under
taken to regulate the private business of news
paper publishers. A resoliftion was offered
and adopted in the House, yesterday, declaring'
"that newspaper comments on the action of
committees in contested election cases during
their pendency-are so manifestly improper that_
we may reasonably expect the practice to
.cease.ft old this day."
.As the Legislature has not yet enacted a
press law, punishing freedom of speech with
death, it will be safe to venture an opinion to
the effect that if the members of that body
will resolve to attend to their legitimate duties
honestly, conscientiously, and with a single
desire to advance the interests of their con
stitutents, they will act without a precedent,
but will be likely to succeed better and to give
greater satisfaction to the people than by me&
(fling with public journals. It is • eminently
right and proper that the newspapers should
discuss contested election cases, at any time
during their progress ; to comment upon the
evidence, and to endeavor to give the public a
correct idea of the trickery and ras
cality indulged in by' politicians to
defeat the wishes of a majority of
the voters. The judges of such cases need
not, and if they are just men, cannot be guided
by partisan opinions of the press; they must
sift and weigh the testimony, and decide in ac
cordance with bard, unsentimental facts. Pub-
licatiop of the facts enables the people to deter
mine whether the judges do their duty; and If
any of them should, perchance, incline to dis
honesty, 'knowledge that they are watched by a
well-informed people, will belikely to restrain
them. Therefore the Legislature need not
" . expect that the practice of commenting upon
such cases will cease from this day." It will
be continued, together with the "practice of
commenting upon" the conduct of the mem
bers of the Legislatnre. The latter custom
sometimes degenerates into.personal abuse, in
certain journals,but when it is conducted fairly,
and manifestly with a desire to secure honest
legislation, it, is a duty which must produee
beneficial results.
The little province of Newfoundland con
tinues to resist and protest against annexation
to Canada. When the Legislature met, on
l'hursday, the Lieutenant-Governor, in his
speech, expressed the hope that nothing would
oecur to prevent the colony from becoming con
federated with Canada, wberenpon an anti-
Confederate moved a re9ointian of no COriii

A report is telegrripbed from London that
the. Viceroy of F;gypt, or the Ithedis, has en-
tried into an alliance with Greece. Coming

The correspondent of the World writes:—
Prince Pierre is imprisoned in one of those
towers on the Seine, called originally, I mean
in St. Louis's day, Clusar's Tower, but - known
since 3874 as bfontgomery's Tower, because in
it was imprisened the Count de Montgomery,
who accidentally killed Henry 11. in a tourna
ment in 3889, and who was beheaded by Cath
erine delfedicis on Place de Grove for having
borne arms against France. These towers have
lost something of their antique gloom since
they have been fitted up•for modern prisoners
of rank and for the lodgings of head officers of
the prison. Ouvrard, the famous financier,
was for years imprisoned in the rooms on the
Tround floor now occupied by Prince Pierre.

fleet, dated as, late as December 13. ,He was
then, in his tiag.ship, the Delaware, at Hong
Hong, having arrived there November 17th;
from the coast of Japan. Reports of the dis
tribution of the fleet are as follows::The
Oneida, Capt. Williams, at Hiogo ; nthet,Hono

Hong Kong, Nov. 2ffih, for Norfolk, Virginia.
She has on: board part of the crow of the
Unadilia, lately sold; some sick prisoners, and
as many officers returning homeas the steerage
could accommodate.
The Maumee was soid at Hong Kong on the
16th of December. Just before leaving Japan
Commander .Rowan visited Osaka in the Del
aware. On arriving off the mouth of the
river, the Fort 'was sa3u•ted with 21 gans—
prom ptly returned. A similar 'salute was also
given to and returned the by Vice Governor,

Admiral. The next day he proceeded with
his staff to Osaka, and was saluted in passing

the guard of the United States Consul; was
called on by the Governor and other high cal
dais, and invited to a Japanese din
ner. Two government barges • were
provided for his accommdation; In
company with the Governor, he visited
the Castle of the Tycoon, the once magnifi
cent stronghold, being now in ruins from the
effect of lire. Dinner was served in the
Government Treasury building, the Governor
and two Vice-0 °vetoers being present. The
Governor having expressed a wish to visit
Hiogo, passage was extended to him in
the Delaware, and he was landed with custo
mary honors.
Commander Rowan forwards with his de
spatches an interesting report from Conf.
mender Taylor, of the Ashuelot, from which
the following is extracted : "On the 4th of
November the Japanese authorities saluted
Mr. Long, the new United States `Minister
Resident, . with fifteen guns from the fort at
Kanagawa. The American flag was displayed.
The salute was returned by the Ashuelot—
the Japanese flag at the fore-top. On the
10th, by previous arrangement, the Minister,
ex-Minister and suite were received on board
of the Ashuelot and conveyed to Yeddo. Cus
tomary salutes were exchanged fit Yeddo be
tween the Ashuelot and a JapaneSe man-of
war.
"On the .11th the new Minister had an
audience with the 'Mikado, and General Van
Valkenburg presented his letters of recall on
the 12th. The Ashuelot returned to Yoko
hama. On the 20th of. November the colors
of the .Ashuelot were at half-mast, and fifteen,
guns wgre tired, at noon in memory .of the
late Secretary of War, Rawlins. The English
and French vessels-of-war, the only foreign
flags in port, united in the ceremony,
so far as to wear their colors half-mast from
sunrise to sunset, the French vessels-of-war
coekbilling their yards in addition. The flags
on shore were also half-mast.
"By invitation of the Japanese authorities,
the .A.Shttelot united with the foreign men-of
war in dressing the ships and firing a salute of
21 guns; with the Japanese flag at the main,
on the occasion of the Empress ofJapan pass
ing through Kanagawa on her way to Yeddo."

Forty-First ConOress...fleeond !Session.
Iny the American Frees Association.]
ASHINGTON, Feb. 5.
HocsE.—Mr. Sargent read - a long speech
against the Democratic party. He referred to
the action of that party during the late war.
The rebellion was inauguratedand fought by
the Democrats, and the only sympathy for the
rebellion in the North was. by Democrats.
When the war was waging the Democrats
clamored for peace. The weight, of the
Democratic party was thrown into the scale
against the Government. Franklin Pierce,
•a Democratic ex-President, wrote a letter to
Jeff. Davis, sympathizing with the rebellion
and the causes which brought it about.
He instanced a letter from Fernando
Wood, when Mayor of New York, to the
Governor of Georgia, regretting that certain
arms destined for Georgia had been seized by
the civil authorities of that city, and disap
proving the seizure. The Democrats on this
floor bad voted against the necessary appro
priations during the war, and opposed the en
rollment bill, confiscation acts and all the
measures tending to bring the war to a success
ful issue, whilst the rebels were 'encouraging
similar measures in the South, oripressing-the
Union men by their stringent aets.
Mr. Pendleton, the late standard bearer of
the Democratic party, in his speech in the
House in March, 1863, declaimed against the
whole conduct of the war, and declared it
might soon become necessary to resist the
measures of the Administration.
In a speech at the Cooper Institute two
days atter the battle of Gettysburg, Governor
Seymour said : "Remember, my Republican
friends, that the bloody doctrine of public ne
cessity may be asserted by alimob, as well as by
men in authority." luumediately folio wingthis
declaration aline the New York draft riots,
with horrors at which a Sepoy would shudder.
At the time of the first draft, the most
critical period of the war, Judge Woodward,
then on the Supreme Bench of Pennsylvania,
now a member of this House, by his ca9tin„;
vote decided the draft laW unconstitutional—:t
decision which, but for the change which
speedily took place in the Supreme Bench of
that State, might have defeated the Union
cause. Mr. Sargent proceeded to cite the ut
terances of large numbers H of , 'Democrats
during the war, to show their disaffection to
the Union.
Mr. Packard read a long speech, eulogizing
the Republican party, and predicting its bril
liant career in the future. He spoke-inci
dentally of the uncertainty attending our
financial policy, and would rattier have it set
tled without any uncertain conditiens. \Uwe
go up,. it is better to go straight up 'like
Elijah," and not slantandieularly." if we
fall, it &better to, bounce right over tli& crys
tal battlements than fall plump into the abyss.
Mr. Sheldon made a speeeh on the finances,
dwelling .particularly upon the necessity- of
adjusting the Maitland in favor of expanding
the currency.
Mr. Tyner, of the Post-ottice CoMmittee,
made a speech on the franking privilege. He
thought it was abused, and unnecessarily es
pensive. He thought the Pestanaster-Gen oral
bad overstated and overestimated these pointis
Giving a full array of facts and figures, he

A RIOT- 2 0NE MAN KILLED
Sr. LOUIS, Feb. B.—ln a street quarrel in St.
Louis, Mo., night before last, between several
parties, Michael Culligan was shot by H. L.
Church, and died soon after. Church, who is
a conductor on the St. Josephs and Council
BlutlS Railroad, gave himself up and was cow-
witted.
Culligan was a roustabout on the river, and
a quarrelsome man. An old feud existing
between Sinclair and Jackson Hurst on one
side, and Joseph Fry, Clark Jones, and
others, on tbe opposite side. culminated, on
Tuesday last, at Busliville, Mo., in the death
of the two former.
An altercation occurred at a store, and
the Hursts walked out and were assaulted
with stones, one of which struck Jackson
Hurst on the head, knocking him insensible.
James Fry then struck Sinclair Hurst with,
piece of scantling, crushing in his skull, and
also dealt Jackson Hurst a similar blow,.frac-
Wring his skull. ,The testimony at the in
quest showed that the Hursts were drunk;and
had really been the assailing parties.
