SO‘FICES IN 1911111 A ., ' There are some thin , rs in the relations be , - , tween our city and the National Government Width it is net VerY easy fmr a Philadelphian to understand. , 06 the side, of the city to-, *suds the' Governnaent, alWays loyalty and devotion. In the' very dark days . ' after Bull itkiecaree necelsary fol. the Golfer:n -=OA to have money at once and in advance of ally sy4tenuttie Obit to place ponds, it was ern that started the movement to con tribute, and it was not until after a considera ble sum had'been pledged here that 'a dollar sitii given in New York or ,elSewhere. This' is an historical fact. , The spirit indicated by tins course was steadily maintained from *at to last,, and no city has left a more favorable war-record than oars. None did 'more to support the Govern ment. And no large city , in • the Union has bilen:treatetl, for the space of a generation at kiast, in so churlish andniggardly a spirit by the VroVernment. ,When, many years ago, the United States Bank building was offered for sale, the Govern sae nt was urged to buy it for a Custom-Rouse. No favorable disposition was shown, and the strnettre was on the point of being pulled down, when the Government was with great difficulty induced to buy it for $275,000, just what was considered to be its value for pulling down, ,vlz.: the value of the lot and of the marble and other materials , in the building. Prsbably the Governinent has never made So good a purchase before or since. Let any one compare this price with what the Custom • Menses elsewhere have cost. The Post Office of this great city was for years kept in a hired room, with "a' long, nar row, dark and inconvenient' entry, in Jayne's building, on Dock street, as unsuitable an arrangement as could well be. The space was so insufficient that a dozen or two of persons would make a crowd and a jam. Underneath was a drinking-shop, and the general character of the whole affair was such as to make any lady feel that she was out of place there. This was what a national government could do for a wealthy, populous and loyal city, containing even at that time about a half million of in habitants. Some years ago the government was induced 'to parelisse the let west of the Custom. House, and to erect a small and cheap building, upon it, to be used as a Post Office. It, was evident 'that this structure was small, even then, for its purposes, and that in a ' very few years 'it would be completely out grown, as is already the case, and the business of the city demands. that some arrangement shOuld, as soon as possible, be made for a more commodious and suitable structure. The two post-offices which the National Govern ment is now about to build in New York and Boston will cost, with the lots, over $7,000,- 000. There is, therefore, no reason why a liberal appropriation should not be made for the needs of our Post-Office here. Mr. Cresswell, by far the best and ablest Postmaster-General that we have ever had, cannot but perceive, and we vinderstand, acknowledges the need . of a change, and our energetic, efficient Postmaster, Mr. Bingham, has taken up the matter and has ascertained that the property between the ex isting building and Fifth street can be pur chased and a post-office be built upon it for about a million of dollars. We confess we do not see why the Govern ment can afford to pay two millions for the construction atone of a post office in Boston, and twice that sum in - New York, and yet mast limit our city to one million for both site and edifice. It is, however, simply another specimen of the manner in which Philadelphia is habitually slighted at Washington. It is not even certain whether the appropriation can be obtained and whether Congress will not insist, on leaving us with the present inadequate office. Apparently Boston and New York manage to have,their claims more energetically and efficiently pressed than we do. The whole subject is one that very much interests our citi- VMS, andlt is time that we found out why necessary improvements are refused here,_ whilst lavish expenditure is made elsewhere OVB DARK STREETS. One of the good old grievances of Philadel phia is the chronic darkness of the streets at night., "Darkness is cheap" and the City Fathers seem to like it. Light, like music, is a luxury, and should be sparingly indulged in by such poor people as the • population of Philadelphia. Darkness has its advantages. The unpleasant ugliness of the dirty streets is concealed from view, for one thing.. And then there is a large class of enterprising and indus trious people who can only pursue their avoca tions successfully in the dark. They are the collectors of plate, money, watches. jewelry, furs, clothing, goods and all manner of portable property, with which their, more favored towns men have become overburdened, and yet which they would ding to with selfish tenacity did not these clinal47B d'inclustrie remove them from their preridses or peMons, under the cover *f the friendly darkness. And then, what comfprethe darkness affords to the over-taxed policeman. Under its benignant shades he peacefully reclines upon his corner lounge, holding sweet converse with the partners of his toils, as they gather within the modest seclu sion of municipal darkness. Well might Aurora. Leigh cry out to her Romney, " Oh, my Dark!" And yet, with all that there is to say in favor of dark streets, there is a deep-rooted prejudice against them. True, it grows out of that orl ghml sin of selfishness, which ,makes men and women so improperly anxious about their own comfort and safety, instead of considering the advantage and profit of others. The advocates of Light are many, and their complainings are Told and ceaseless. We have pointed out the unreasonableness of their demands. But they are not content with Nature's daylight. They demand the whole or none. Twenty-four Itionni in every day must be given over to a Ore of , natural or artificial kht, or they will pot he satisfied. And now we propose to stop the mouths of these insatiali,light-iriersld , lVrs, by,giving them their demand. Wer bar, Imown children to be cared of lire.king and stealing by overdosing tlient with svircetme,a4N_ and w © recoti)mend' the same *expeihteut 'Ort tb se itieiy 'petitioners for more light in,our nice, pleasant, dark etteets.' ,Inthe,first,place t Jet no have all the light in the streets thiit'the . hci'uses will afford. Phila delphia elosetyttP her 'gelid wooden 'shutters at nightfall r and shuts in all the pleasant:"light . 0 1 the cosy parlors. • •Likewise she leaves her I. vestibules In darkness, and:often obscures the i 1 transoms of berfront•doors with opaque sub- , i 1 stances. Why is this thus -? Not for safety, certainly. "The parlor windows of Philadelphia are' generally above, the reach of predatory strollers, andComparittively few bold bniglars will climb into alighted , parlor where Pater Familias, in the boiom of his happy house hold, is perusing his tvElvriva BULLETIN, un less compelled thereto by a commendable thirst for knowledge. ' But in the second place, let us have all the light'in the streets that therstreets will afford. It is a fact not generally known' to the com munity, and apparently unknown to the city authorities, that at least four , times as much light.could be got out of the amount of gas now burned in our street lamps, by a proper arrangement of the burners. The introduC tion .of a double reflector into each lantern, with the present burner divided into two, each burning half the quantity of gas, will make the streets of Philadelphia• light enough to satisfy the most discontented mind. A pructical illus tration of the idea may be seen in front of the Union League House. The lamps on the portico have been arranged in this way, and the steps' and pavement are so thoroughly illuminated as ,to ' render the large lamps formerly used on the corners of the two side Streets 'entirely: unnecessary. The cost of altering the street-lamps in this manner would be very trifling, and if each was furnished with duplicate reflectors, the lampligbter could easily keep them in ' a properly polished con dition, and.the streets need never be left in darkness any more. • • • In the third place, we must abandon all con nection with the moon, as a branch of our municipal arrangements. For 'some reason, that luminary has become utterly unreliable for street-lighting purposes, and there have been strong appearances, lately, of her being the centre of a gigantic "Ring." However this may be, it is evident that the moon has not kept pace with the growth of Philadelphia, and is no loneer able to meet our increasing requirements. Because the Board of Health continues to pay street-cleaners ' for not fulfil ling their contracts, is no reason why the use less "corporation moonlight" contract should be continued, when we get no advantage out of it. Give us the street lamps every night arid all night, and arrange them so as to utilize their light, and the moon can shine or not, as much as she pleases. Will not our devoted City Parents take this dark subject in hand? .Although we have made light of it, it is a very serious business. It is very unsafe and very unseemly to have the.streets of Philadelphia, for, the most part, shrouded in the gloom that now prevails. We confess that light is a luxury, but Councils must allow us some luxuries, and few are more innocent than the blessed Light. THE ROMAN QIIESTION. The detailed statement which we gave yes terday of the progress of the woman question in the Bellevue Hospital, of New York, has been read by thousands of men and women with fresh amakement, that men can be found with sufficient ambition about them to desire to enter an honorable and learned profession, who are yet destitute of the instincts of an ordinarily well-behaved savage. Philadelphia has been far out-done by the outrageous blackguardism of the "young gen tlemen " of the medical colleges of New York. Few in number, but utterly reckless in their indecency, their conduct toward the ladies of the clinical 'class appears to have rivalled the obscene outrages of the mobs of the French Revolu tion. The insults to which these women have been exposed, in a land where woman is proverbially' safe from rudeness and indignity, are almost incredible. Had these unoffending women been common criminals exposed at the whipping-post and pillory of Delaware, they could not have en dured worse outrages than have been inflicted upon them -by creatures calling themselves men, and proposing to be physicians. The women appear to have behaved with a won derful degree of patience, courage and dignity, and in doing so, have won respect and admir ation of the people, in a degree equal to the contempt and indignation which fall upon, the cowardly blackguards who have thus grossly insulted them. It will probably bo denied that anything has occurred at the Bellevue such as the Tribune describes ; but no dispas sionate reader will doubt facts so circumstan tially narrated, and so very probable, under the existing state• of feeling with regard to female medical education.• We have said that New York has outdone Philadelphia in this unmanly business, and we are not at all surprised at it. But we are bound to confess that New 'York has the ad vantage of us in two important particulars. In the first place, it is obvious that the great mass of the students are ready to repudiate the mis conduct of their associates. This is evident from the repeated applause which greeted Professor Wood's scathing rebuke of the gang of rowdies who had disgraced the class. And in the second place, the staff of the Hospital, no doubt representing the sentiment of the medical profession in New York, have taken bold and brave ground against these outrages. Professor. Wood's prompt, - indignant, fearless rebuke of the actors in these infamous pro ceedings is worthy of all praise. Properly dis criminating between the gentlemen of the class and the rowdies with whom they are associated, he denounced the insults heaped upon these women in terms of reprobation to which even such a low grade of offenders could not he wholly in sensible. Lie regretted that he had not the power to exclude them forever from entering any medical college, and as their number ap pears not to exceed forty or fifty of the whole class, it is more than probable that the war dens of Bellevue will be able to identify enough of them to make a wholesome exam ple of. The laws of New York give these THE DAILY' EVENING BULLETIN:7-PHILADIgLPHIA, TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 8, 1870. Free trade got a blaek eye in the House of Representatives at Washington yesterday. Mr. Marshall's resolution in favor of a tarifffor revenue only was called up, and on motion of 3.1-r. Kelsey, •of New York-, it -wass• laid on-the table, by a vote of $9 to 77; then a motion to reconsider was laid on the table by the still better vote of 91 to 80. The following Demo crats from Pennsylvania voted with the Free Traders : Reading, of the Fifth District; Stiles, of. the Sixth; Getz, a the Eighth; Van Aitken, of the Eleventh ; Woodward, of the Twelfth and Haldeman, of the Fifteenth. Mr. Randall, of the First District, was absent or did not vote. But the ' Pennsylvanians, to whom Free Trade would be ruinous, must bear in mind that not one Democratic mem ber from their State voted against it. All the Republican members voted on the side of protection. The BULLETIN gets along finely without the aid of the New York Associated Press. Yes terday, although owing to the Western wires being out of order, many despatches failed to arrive, the amount of news we printed was better in quantity and quality than we ever got when depending on• , the Associated Press exclusively. The storm of this morning may interfere again to-day, but we are satisfied that our readers will find that the BULLETIN, with its special despatches and those of the Ameri can Press Association, will beat the New York Associated Press hollow. INSURANCE RETURNS.—The annual state ment of the United States branch of the Liv erpool and London and Globe Insurance Com pany, published in another column, presents an interesting account of this prosperous and enterprising corporation. The income of the American branch for 1869, reached $2,302,- 817 36, against an expenditure of $1,896,48733, of which only $923,8 08 went to pay losses. The al4sets of the company retained in this country now amounts to over two-and-a-half millions of dollars, and the total assets exceed seycnteen millions of dollars in gold, being seven millions over and above the authorized capital. Atwood Smith, Esq., No. 6 Mer chants' Exchange, is the General Agent for Pennsylvania, and the exhibit which he has spread upon our advertising columns certainly deserves the special attention of those seeking additional security against fire.

FROM HARRISBURG. Tim State Temperance, Convention.-Nes s/on in marrisburic ro.day. (Special Beepatch to the Celle. Beetling Bulletin.) nAnlillittlil2o, Feb. State Temper ance Convention is in session here to-day. The attendance is large, and the session promises to be interesting, but the important business— defining the position of the body on the dis trict license bill—will hardly be reached in time for your editions. Delegates are present from all parts of the State, and the character of, the body reflects the increasing interest felt all over the State in the question. It is hoped that the action of the Conven tion will he unanimously in favor of the new bill, in view of the approaching discussion be fore the Legislature; but many of the dele gates are reformers of the impracticable sort, who believe in nothing short of absolute and immediate prohibition. So there will uo doubt be a lively time. The Convention was called to. order by the Hon. Jas. Black, who made a congratula tory address, in which In gihvied to the in (Teased tempaantesenthnent in America and Europe, and to the advanced position of the Christian ministry and of religious bodies. The temporary chairman, Hon. S. D. Chase, of Susque.hanna, made, a lengthy , atkirs, urging harmony of action in the Convention, and stating the object to be accomplishtd. Harry Rauch, of Philadelphia, and Charles Mason, of Bucks, were made Secretaries. The credentials of the members were then presented. • The .delegates comprised severalhulies and a number of colored representativ. The storm did not interfere with a full attendance. Sonic division of sentiment seems likely to oc cur on the question of organizing a third party on purely temperance issues. This has many friends and warm opponents, and will probably supersede the subject of the district license ait the main question. Great care will be exercised in examining the credentials to, preVent outside voting. The friends of the temperance party seem to fear some outside interference, and much time will be spent upon the reception of delegates and appointing committees. A' delegate this morning] truly remarked that there was not. much temperance about the discussion. All the members seemed ex cited. The 'RCN'. Mr. Pennell Coombe, I. N. Peirce; W. W. Axe, Edwin H. Coates atid others are here from Philadelphia. The list of delegates is being called at twelve, and it is not likely the main business of the day will be reached until late in the afternoon, as the pro cess of organization will occupy at least an hour or two. The Supreme Court Bill. [Special Peepatch to the Phila. Evening Bulletin.) HAMMEL:HO, Feb. B.—The bill recently passed, extending the jurisdiction of the Su preme Court in criminal eases to a review of the evidence as well as of the law, Is likely to fail tor want of the Governor's signature. It appears that, during its passage, the bill was amended so, as to make it operative upon the simple application of the condemned person ; whereas the original bill, which was approved by the Attorney-General, ryquired the consent of that officer.' It is Un derstood that this amendment will be fatal to the bill; although the Attorney-General does not propose to take advantage of the fact in the Schoeppe case, but to agree to a full re view of the factsas well as the law in this par ticular case, now before the Supreme Court in Philadelphia.

After proof has been given as to his good moral character, the court may adjudge that he is entitled to be, and is re lieved of all political disabilities imposed by sectiorr3, article 14 of the amendment to the Constitution ; but no person who has held a commission in the army or navy, or hq been a Member of Congress under any Rebel Government,shall be entitled to the benefit of this act. The bill will be repOrted to the Rouse at an early day, and immediate action upon it is requested, as it is acceptable to the leading radical Republicans, and its passage is considered pretty certain. A Reconstruction Bill. The Committee also agreed to report a bill to enforce the articles of amendment to the Constitution. Chief Justice Chase.. has decided that the amendments to the Constitution do not en force their own provisions without legislation by Congress. The bill agreed upon by the Reconstruction Committee provides penalties if State officers shall refute to permit citizens to vote who are entitled to do so under the.

The Sehoeppe Case. At the cloSe of the argtlment in the above ease, the Court took up the appeal in the case of Dr: Schoeppe,under conviction and sentence of death for the murder of Miss Steinnecke:' Messrs. W. H, Miller, H. Nowsham, Samuel Hepburn, S. Hepburn, Jr. ; and • George =Nor throp appeared for the accused, the plamtillin error, and W. J. Shearer, U, . E., Maglaugblin and Attorney-General Brewster renresented the Commonwealth. The principal error assigned is that the Court erred in leaving to the jury, on all the evidence as it stands on the record, to find the defendant guilty of "murder in thertirst de gree." There are, however, ,2aassignments of error, applying to the admission of evidence or the ruling of the Judge who tried the, case at Carlisle. After the paper books had been passed UP to the Judges and they had been examined, Justice Read said : It becomes a question how this case gets here. The act of Assembly giving a bill of exception to evidenceor .to the answer of the court to questions pro pounded specifies the time, and the time has expired; that act required that the allocatu)• should be granted within thirty days_; that allocatur was not granted, by us, but was refused- distinctly, aud, therefore, when we conic to • look at these paper hooka, we find a large body of matter which might be very proper in a case presented within thirty days, but very improper within the terms of the act of Assembly. I cannot under stand how this case comes.here, unless there are errors apparent upon the common law record. Here are a variety of things which we cannot take notice of. At least that is my impression, and I know also of the Chief Jus tice. I should like to hear counsel before the case is taken up. I would like to hear the -ground. upon whieh-the -writ= le - based.- Mr. Hepburn (for the prisoner)—There was an allocatur consented to by the Attorney- General; and we understand that the Com monwealth will make no opposition here. Justice Read—The Commonwealth cannot violate law. Mr. Hepburn—We think there is au act of Assembly. which authorizes you to hear' this case as upon a motion for a new trial. We do not understand that the act of Assembly limits the consent of the Attorney-General to the 30 days. (The act of Assembly wasread.),' . • Mr. Northrop said,that he ;understood the act of .Assembly, to allow , a writ of , error on two forms—first, by the special' allocatter- o r allowance of the COurt, and second, by, the consent of the Attornev=General. In the first case the 30 days is the but it does 'not apply to the consent of the.Attorney-General. Justice Sharswood—There is .no Motion to quash the writ We may hear thematic and ascertain whether we have aright to grant the relief prayed for., ~ • Attorney-General Brewster Without motion to quash, the Court *lll hardly, upon its own motion, quash the writ upon the sug gestion th'at it was not within the time. The tune in the Act of Assembly was designed to protect the adverse party, and I am perfectly willing to waive the time so, far as such con sent of mine can give you authority to beat There are reasons which' I need not state here that induce me to consent to this writ. I have carefully examined the record, and my con sent,is not based upon any inference. that the Court below fell into any. error. Justice Read—This is a sPecial act of Asserm bly, following a number of Others 'general in, their character. The special act of Assettibly wan intended to give a person tried for Murder the benefit of a' bill of exception, but it was in;. tended to confine it within certain limits. These limits were, first, that there, skeuld be an'allocatur, and that the allocatur should be granted within 30 days. Now"tribi tin*'ham expired. The allocatur was'refatied tiot only by the Chief Justice, but with the' consent of two other Judges, upon the grimtnit that there was no error. I take it that : that set of AS. sembly is out of the hearing, and you depmid upon the prier act, which' brings 110 nothing but the record, independent of all these 'ex ceptions. W hatever . course 'the Court thinks proper to take, I will acqutosee. • - After consultation, ,the Judge said:—"MY brethren think it best that the Comt should go on, not committing ourselves in the slight est, degree, but assnming, for the present; that the whole ease is before us." • . Mr. Miller, for the prisoner, then coin nu need the argument, reviewing the toti molly, especially that applyipg to the came of death, As resulting, from rflaaon.
