CONCERAING 'TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. -.lt. is a week since the- EVENINO BULLETIN, received notice from the association of old morning papers that it would no longer be adasied to receive any part of the news fur • 11 idled by the New York Associated Press. blaring several 'days, owing to the general crippling of the telegraphie'svires by the storm, Se news we received was not as copious as it *Old haVe been under other circumstances; bett It was fully equal to that furnished by the Associated Press. But during the past three al's, the BULLETLN'S news has been a great deal better, in quality and quantity, than that, given to the evening papers here, and in New York and elsewhere, that are still allowed to partake of the fare furnished by the New *Mk monopoly. Take yesterday's Buira-u -ism, for instance—the 4:30 edition. It cen t/tined a half column of cable news ; two col umns from Washington, three-quarters of . a "damn from Harrisburg; and at least a column and a half from a variety of other places—in all about five columns of telegraphic news. In libe most generous moments of the New York Associated Press, it never'gave us half as much am this, except on the President's Message day, vithen it could not avoid doing better. A large part of the news received by the BULLETIN is obtained through the agents of thstAmerican Press Association, the new or pnization which has already been joined by die BULLETIN, the Star, the Herald, the Morning Post, the Day, and several of the Sunday papers. The Evening Telegraph is mill allowed to receive the New York Asso ciated Press's news; but if its owners continue as wise as they have heretofore shown them selves, they will come into the American Press ..,kssociation, which is bound to go ahead, im- ProVing its arrangements and extending its connections every week.. As for the morning papers that still buy their news from the New York Associated Press—the Ledger, North 44m , eriesn, Inquirer, Press and Age—they - are - eclipsed -every- -- -morning, In- .the platter of telegraphic news, by the Morn ing Post and the Day, as may be seen by any one who will candidly compare iiheir columns with those of the older morn- Mg journals. And this advantage will be some-more obvious as the machinery of Or) A. P. A. improves, which it is bound to do. The truth is, the Philadelphia paperts can all derive benefit from a separation from the New York Associated Press, whose . interest it is • to make all papers but their own as uninteresting as possible. We shall expect them, and Mr. ikaiit's new paper; and Col. 'McClure's new paper, all to come, one by one, into the Ameri mn• Press Association, which is ,open to all; and though our venerable friends and neigh bors have treated the BULLETIN rather , impo- Etely, we bear them no grudge, and shall oiler no opposition to their coining into our "Ring," and making their news columns as lively as SOLDIERS' ORPHANS. We give, to-day, copious extracts from the very interesting report of Colonel McFarland, iiiitperintendent of the Soldiers' Orphans De partment pt Pennsylvania. We regret that its jength.and tabular forxii prevent . our reprint ing itin full; This Report is the Ynost satisfactory answer that can.be given to those who are still ignorant of the 'noble Work which Pennsylvania is doing 'for the children of her dead soldiers. Republics are not always ungrateful, and no State ever gave such practical proof of her lasting grati tude to those who died in tier defence, as the good Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is giving 'in her admirably systematized provision for the tare and maintenance of her soldiers' orphans. Ude a provision of which every good citizen is justly proud, and both Governor Curtin, who fouude,d, and Governor Geary, who has fos tered this eminently patriotic institution, may INolliegard it as the chief 'and crowning glory of their administrations. The Annual, Report of the Superintendent demonstrates that the .'Department is being • naanaged with good judgment, rigid economy, dear comprehension of its proper scope and end, and perfect honesty. The close adherence o estimates,--a year's ekpenditures only show ing ayariation of about five hundred dollars, in an outlay of half a million—is worthy of all praise. No public money is better spent than are the appropriations for the Soldiers' Orphan :Schools, and we trust that the Legislature will Lot again leave those who are laboring in this good cause, tinder the burden of unnecessary debt, by making an insufficient appropriation. • It should be borne in mind that a large pro ' portion of this work is done by the Homes and Orphan Asylums of the State, and it is no small''hardship that they, to whom the charge of these 4 ' C Wren of the Commonwealth" is perrelY a labor of patriotic love, should have troperadgel to their cares that of a needless debt. • ?'he Report dearly shows that the Superin-. bendent is most earnestly engaged in develop ing every capacity of the system for the physi cal, mental and moral improvement of the chil dren. The extension of the idea of indulltrial instruction is worthy of all encouratement,and there should be, as we believe there will be, the most cordial support extended to Superin . tendent 'McFarland by the Governor and the Legislature in working out to their fullest reali zation the plans_anepurposes which have al nady produced such satisfactoryTesults: FiIIALADELPAR IA AND PENNSWL TAN lA. The commercial and manufactuthig capital City of any State is always deserving of consi deration; but in the „legislation of a body ap . portioned simply according to population, it rarely receives all the, consideration it deserves. Philadelphia, while occupying only a small pOrtion of the territory of • Pennsylvania, con tains one-fifth of the population, and contrl TiIitRAAAT.4 EY ERMA fl;7:4l4Prifi-lIIILAPELPHA UDAY,. x. 2 .1870. butes fully one-tiall of the reyeaue of, the State. The Auditer:.GemlritAs refiCershoWs algae; (eta revenue of,. the State, last rail ' 9l as $5,241;111; jibtairibilng the &Mile of the re ceiptio after as minute a ealeniatkm as the tables permit, we' . isiertain that' the atuetint paid into the Igtate Tressiry by the eitiz3ns of Pldiadelphia was at' keel, $2,700,000. ' if the Whole truth could be known we believe it would oneunt•to three millions; but we' pre fer to ,under-rate lather than over-rate, in making our estimates. The'return of the taxabies in the Stite in 18'69 makes the total 811,460, of which 101,014, or about one-fifth, lived in Philadelphia: AlloWing for a yt , ar's increase, and for the sake of the Simplification of round nutt e rs, we es timate that in 1870 tho taxable inhibita.nts in Pennsylvania, are 1,000,000, of which one-fifth, or 200,000, are in Philadelphia. The United Slates census, to be taken this year, will, we are confident, show about this proportion; and estimating five persons to each tax-payer, it will appear that the State has about five million inhabitants, of whom one million live in Philadelphia. A city containing one-fifth of the population of its State ought reasonably to be expected to contribute one4fth of its revenues. Aka the Auditor-General's report shows that Phila= delphia pays fully one-half of the revenues of the State of Pennsylvania. At the same time Philadelphia's representation in the State Sen ate is only about, one eighth, and in the House of Representatives less than one-sixth. Four members in .st Senate of thirty three, and eighteen Representatives in a House or one hundred, are the allowance in the Legislature of a city that con tributes more than one-half of the revenues of the State. If our members were all superior, intellectually and morally, to those from other parts of the State, we might be content with their number; but nnbappily they are not. Philadelphia is_ thus left pretty much at the mercy of the country members, who, some how, have an absurd jealousy of the city, and like to legislate for her disadvantage, in epite of the fact that her people contribute more than one-half of the annual revenue. TIRE LEGISLATURE AND_ THE PUB- LIC BIJILDINVS. When the advocates of any cause have nothing better to urge in the way of ar gument than is offered by those who want the public buildings removed from Independence Square, such a cause is condemned beforehand. When it is shown that public convenience, architectural effect, economy of construction. all (14:nand that Independence Square should be the site, they have nothing better to answer than that Independence Square is sacred. Why, they have never explained ; but we hope to know shortly, as one of our city delegates, Mr. Davis, has, in the Interest of the Penn Square project, offered a resolution, and had it, re ferred 'to the Judiciary Committee; to inquire into this sanctity. We hope the inquiry wili be thorough, but we doubt if Mr. Davis be anxious to have the truth known. We are anxious, and will give it to him in ad vance. Some time in the last century there wemold dwellings on the site of the present square, which, with their lots, the State bought up, and after holding for a time, invited, or rattier di rected, the city to buy, together with the "State Douse. As the city was not particularly anxi ous to make the purchase and pay the $70,000 demanded by the State, there was a prOvision made that; in case of, refusal to purchase,•the square should be cut up into building lots and sold off? The act in question bears date of 1816, and establishes in a remarkably clear and perspicuous way, what the Legislature thought of the "sanctity" of the square. It 6 exceedingly pleasant to see Mr. John Rice, Mr. E. W. Davis, and others, so anxious on this subject, and it is gratifying 'to be able to re lieve that anxiety. .No sanctity attaches to the square, nor has any remarkable event ever ta ken place within it. The Declaration of Inde pendence was. read on Chestnut street, and not in the square. This claim, then, is just'upon a par with Mr. Rice's assertions that it Would , take twenty years to put up the buildings on Independence Square ; that it would List, $10,000,000, &c., &c: And this is the sort of stuff that citizens are expected to take as reasoning, and in reply to the arguments based on convenience, archi tectural . suitableness and economy, all of which point unmistakeably 'to Independence Square as the proper site. General Butler invented the word " contra band," as expressing a political idea,and solved an important question of the war by doing 'so. He has now embalmed, in the amber of his ready wit, that popular insect known as the "Shoo fly," and it will live in Congressional annals as the type and symbol of the insignifi cant. The radiant name of ' 4 Sunset Cox" will undoubtedly give way to that of Shoo- Fly Cox," which will stand as a perpetual warning that persons wishing to get ahead of the quick-tongued member from Lowell must rise before sunset. • The California wines of I. Landsberger & Co., recently introduced in this market, have made a most favorable impression upon all who have tried them. They include Cham pagne, Reisling, Zanfadel, White, Red, An gelica, Port and Wiue Bitters. Each of them has a marked and peculiar' flavor, so that all tastes may bo satisfied. For purity and cheap nem they have no superiors. A brandy by the Hanle makers was also consigned here lately, but the whole stock was immediately sold, and it cannot be obtained until a fresh supply IS But the wines and wine bitters can be purchased from all the principal gro cers,and liquor dealers.

Spfcial Despatch to thO Phi Eventing Bulletin.] WMIIIINCTON, Feb.:l2.—Thu introduction of the Cuban resolution in the Senate yesterday, by Senator Sheri:flan ,and the remarks thereon, are a good deal talked about in political as well as diplomatic circles. There are many conflicting opinions as to what course the Sen ate will pursue, now that it has become mani fest that there is a strong current settting in for extending aid to the struggling Cubans from sources which have heretofore exhibited no active' interest in the nuestion. Many consider that this change in sentiment will obtain sufficient strength to compel a change in the policy at present purined by the Administration, but this belief is•not shared by those conversant NS Rh the views of the members of President Grant's CAbinet. Secretary Fish thinks the passage of ItEr: Sherman's resolution would simply result in a war with Spain, as the recognition of an ac.; teal state of war in Cuba by this Government permits the SPanish Government, under the treaty of 1795, to make search on the high seas of all American vessels, which right they undoubtedly Would exercise. Mr. Fish does not believe that the mere recognition of belligerent rights would result in an immediate declaration of war by Spain, but that War will eientually come out of it by Spain availing herself of authority under the treaty of 1795, to search vessels, and in other ways do acts to which American citizens Would not submit. It seems probable that the whole influence of the Administration will be used to prevent the adoption of Sherruatt's resolution, if it be favorably reported upon by the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, Which, from the best information that can be obtained, is not likely to be done. All the information received at the State Department from Cuba is alike in saying that the insurrection is slowly dying out. The most reliable account received says that the Cubans have about ten thousand men, under arms, confined entirely to the eastern part of the island, and that no offensive movements are being made. Secretary Fish will send to the House, to day, in compliance with their resolution, a letter,ticcompanied by copies of all despatches received by the Department of State from Havana, in relation to the murder of Ameri cans there on Monday. The American Consul telegraphs that the Spanish authorities are very much excited about the matter, and are doing all in their power to arrest the guilty parties, and if they are caught they Will be instantly garroted. The Peace Conference. Despatches were received yesterday from the Chilean Government, saying that the next steamer from South America would bring the Ministers from Chile, Bolivia, and Ecuador, to attend the peace conference, to be held here between the South American republics and Spain.
