EVENING BULLETIN.

'TIE SCIIOF , PPE CASE,.
The Supreme Court this morning closed its
doors againSt Dr. Scheeppe, and . his" wise is
once more remanded to the Governor and to
the people. The Court refuses, upon the most
severe construction of technical points, to go
beyond the examination of the record uf the
court 'view. It refused to entertain any ques
tion growing out of the evidence, or out of the
numerous strong law points so ably urged
by Pr. Schocppe's counsel, last week. It
declares that it has nothing to do with the in
nocence or guilt of the prisoner.
We design to make no criticism upon the
legality of the action of the Supreme Court.
For aught we know to the contrary, it may be
m strict accordance with the authorities cited
by Justice Read. But the public have the
right to question the propriety of hurrying up
this fatal decision, on which a human lifer dc
petuls, in the face of the fact that the fate of
the Supreme Cofat bill, recently passed by the,
Legislature; is set pending at Harrisburg. The
Governor has vetoed that bill;, but the' Legis
lature has yet to act upon that veto, and, with
all due respect to the Supreme Court, we can
not suppress the surprise that has been excited
by its disposal of such a vital case, under these
contingencies.
. -
The case goes back to the Governor and
the people. The public, so severely re
proved by Justice Read for "intruding itself"
upon'this cage, may certainly now discuss it ,
- without infringing the dignity of any delega
ted authority. And we trust that there will
'be such an immediate expression of public
Opinion as will convince Governor Geary and
the. Attorney General that the people of
Penneylvania are profoundly interested that no
man shall be put to death in this Common
wealth, under the semblance of law, about
ithose guilt there are "such tretiMndoiiiiiinibt4
as surround the
, Case of Paul Schoeppe.
Pennsylvania. cannot . endure the disgrace;
either at home or abroad, of hanging a man on
such • miserably insufficient evidence as has
been made to serve . the purposes of Dr..
Sehoeppe's persecutors.
There is overwhelming evidence, that Miss
Steinneke 1 , ;(1.% nerer murdered at all. There
is no evidence that Dr. Schoeppe poisoned her;
and that is enough. No sophistry 'of legal
acuteness can get behind the facts of the case,
and the more light is let in upon its history,
the stronger will become the conviction of the
people that the killing of Paul Schoeppe can
mot be justified upon any principle of law;
justice or Common humanity. -
We haVe followed this whole case With close
and careful scrutiny. Much 'of its interior
history will, as we sincerely trust, never see
the light.. And we believe , that Governor
Geary will recogn'zr that great undeAying
principle of our civilizatron wh ch sum wids
every human life with the shield which the
element of clot.bi supplies to him. The action
of the'Supreme Court simply leaves the case
Name it was before, and in the name of hu
manity, and for the sake of the fair fame of
Pennsytvania, we call upon Governor Geary to
extend to this condemned man that Executive
.clemency which is the highest attribute of his
high office. •
VERY STSPICIOUS WITNESSES
It may be that Mr. Clapp, the public printer
at Washington, is a very corrupt and inefficient
man, but we thibk it will hardly be safe'to ac
eept as evidence of the fact at least one por 7
tiOn of the testimony against : In the
House of RepreSentatives on Saturday Mr. Ela
offered a. pamphlet, signed by four printers.
recently , discharged by Mr. Clapp, Which
endeavonisOprove that. the latter gentleman
is a villain and an imbecile: The motive of
the authors of this pamphlet may easily
.be
surmised when we remember the A'ecent con
flict of Mr. Clapp with the Typographieal
Union of .Washington. The public printer
desired to give employhient to a negro who'
was a respectable matt
,`and a c .„ competent
woikman ; but the Union positively re
fused to admit the black man, to, its
membership, and it forbade Mr.
Clapp to employ him unless he was a member.
The Consequence was a bitter quarrel, Mr.
Clapp why Novelly refusing to submit to such
dictatian or' to countenance the commission of
such a foul wrong against the negro. Some of
the White compositors yielded, and remained in
the eke; others clung to the Union and were
discharged. This. pamphlet comes, in all pro
bability, from some of the latter, and is pub-
fished in a spirit of revenge. Under the eir
cunistances,its.statements should be regarded
as n holly pnwortby' of credence. , Mr. Clapp
simply did his duty, and be won the hearty ars.
pi oval of every man who believes in giving an
coital chance to all laborers, whether they are
white or blank, and who detests the abominable
tyranny exercised by trades-unions: It is a
noteworthy fact that insinuations and charges
against Mr. Clapp's character an& man
agement of his • business were firSt
beard immediately after this quarrel with the
inters' Union, and we have no d9ubt what
ever that they may he traced directly tea the
influence of that officious, intertueddling
orgutniration. .do not knotir.l great deal
about. Alr. Clapp's capacity or his personal
character; both may be cry bad; but before
ne A% ill believe 'it we shall require evitience
.of the tact liOn) parliPs silite‘‘'llat more reliable
;and trustworthy than the members of the
Anion. It is an outrage that this man should
the persecuted for the performance of a duty to
the country and to an oppressed race: Let us
lidvt an honest investigatiim made by bow±st,
jrupetons of Congress, and if Clapp i s
provod ionorent, ne hope' he will dischtvgi.

A QUESOOR OF DELIMONEUENr.
A despatch from 'Munich says that the Ba
warian Council of Slate is considering the
question f the . dethronement of' the King.
If such a' step could be taken without disturb..
big the 'Peke of the kingdom,' it would be a
geed thing for the people of Bavaria.' King
Ludwig 11. is a fool, or not far removed,from
one. His freaks have been called, in courtier
languao, eccentricities,- but there ,Is little
dun ht,that he'is.an imbecile. His passion for
Richard Wrignees..music, and ,his love for
Wagner himself, aro the most nearly intelled;
ual traits he hai shown. In all the qualities
needed in a statesman or a ruler lie is,to
tally deficient. He is' now - twenty-five
years old, and if any of those
qualities are ever to be developed in him, there
ought to , be some sign of them by' this time.
l3e• takes, really, no active part in the Govern
ment of the 'country, so that the Connell "of
State has to assume responsibility, with the
chance, nevertheless, of every now and then
having their work Interfered with by a brain
lesss ass. The King's legal successor, in case
lie is dethroned or abdicates, will be his brother,
Prince Otho, who is twenty-two years old. He
may, however, be no better, for their father
was a very commonplace man, and their grand
father, Ludwig 1., was himself "eccentric,"
and had to abdicate when his vagaries becanle
disgusting to the people.
From all we can learn there can be little op
position to the removal of the King among the
Bavarians; for he has done nothing, during
his reign of about five years, to create a parti
cle of attachment to bim personally. lie can
have no party worth speaking of, and the
army, of course, would take no part with him
in opposition to any decree of the' Council of
State: If his brother should not be chosen as
his successor,sohie Other prince of .the reigning
house may be selected. One of .these 'is
the King's uncle, .1 1 iiiice Luitpola, aged 49,
who is,hoWever, .not a remarkable roan, and
not equal to his brother, Prince, Adalbert, aged
42, and married to a Spanish Bourbon princess,
a cousin of the ex-Oneen Isabella, Prince
Adalbert is a man of considerable character,
and might make a-good sovereign for the Ba
varians. But , almost any man of average
brains would be a, great improvement over the
present imbecile occupant of, the throne.
LP. 3.1 1 11 ;lIV v Mos lir-1014J III:13 i R;) KV' tit i 4.1
We agree with Mr. Butler that there has
been about enough of personal abuse of hint
in and out of Congress. ' There is neither wit
nor truth in the comparisons' of him, which
ate.. constantly made, , wlth various.
proselytes and traitors, or in the slander that he
is a spoon thief, or a'thief of any kind. And
yet Democratic newspapers, and Congressmen
of all parties,- daily fling these things at him, as
if they thought such dirty personalities smart
and amusing. Dir. Butler may not be a very
great military hero, or a remarkably virtuous
-man ; he may, indeed, sometimes be exceed
ingly coarse and vulgar; abut it cannot be
questioned that he is one of the ablest men in
Congress at the present time, and that ,he
did the - country good and _ • valiant
service upon More than one occasion, and in
more than one place, during the war. This
fact may atone entirely for his faults, • for his
single vote cast for Jefferson Davis and for his
adherence to the - Democratic party. We ad
mit that some suspicion might justly attach to
him because of his connection with that cor
rupt faction, but he has.vindicated clearly his
claim to the confidence of loyal men. The
bitter animosity displayed -against him by
Democrats, indeed, is inspired simply by
knowledge of the fact that he despised their or—
ganization, and after spurning it froth hith, la
bored earnestly and efficiently against its rebel
friends. It is not the vote for Jefferson Davis
or the - inniginary - sPoon - theft that excites Demo- -
colic hatred ; it is realization of the loss sus
tained by the party in Butler's proselytism.
Mr. Butler does. not need any defence front
us; li can take care of himself about as well
as any . man on the continent, as 4lr. Dawes,
sl.too fly Cox, and sundry other Congress
men of great and small minds have found to
their cost. We wish merely to throw out the
_suggestion that the intelligent and • decent
people of the country are sick of the scurrilous
abuse; the threadbare slanders, and the decrepid
wit which hi - c flung at him every . day. While
"the country remembers Butler's magnificent
career at New Orleans, these things will not.
shake :public confidence in his loyalty 01
popular respect for his ability.
PUBLIC MALDiSt4S.
The shallow pretence that 'lndependence
Square would be desecrated by the erection' of
Public Buildings upon it has been put forward,
both in Connell and in the Legislature, evi
dently as the desperate expedient of men who
do not wish to give their true reasons for their
factious opposition to the measure. It his had
the happy effect of bringing the facts of the
case fully before the public, and opening their
eyes to the true nature of this resistance to a
movement of the highest importance to the
people of Philadelphia. We have given our
leaders the history of Independence Square,
and it settles the question of the peculiar
"sanctity " of that locality beyond any per
advOltnre.
The only enect which will be produced
upon Independence Hall by the erection of the
Public Buildings in Independence Square will
be to purge it from all those varied uses to
which it Is now devoted, and to separate it
from those incofigruous buildings with which
it is now connected. Nither the Court-rooms
net. the Council chambers can be said to dese
crate Independence Hall, and the old woman
who seliscollim and pies within its precincts is
a .most respectable and worthy ornament
of her sex. Aud yet It cannot be
denied that • Independence Hall would
ineserve more of its traditional sanctity,
were the plans of the Building Commission
earried out, and the venerable building re
stored to its original unity. The ugly wings
that now disfigure it will be taken away, and
its apartments will be devoted' to the preserva•-
Lion of the sacred telles of our Revolutionary
and National history. Courts and Councils
will exchange their present crammed 'accom
modations for the comfortable apartments of
the public - buildings, and the ground now
treated as a were waste and muddy thorough
eale will be consecrated to a high and !mom-
I le use.

, Admiral Farraglit's letter to Secretary. Robe
son, upon the a** of the reorganization of
the Navy, confirms the good opinion we bad
formed of the suggestions of the SecretarY in
regard to the regulation of staff rank., The
Admiral objects to some of the - provisions ,of
the Secretary's bili;•bnt-he approves - its princi
pal features. Re recognizes the necessity for
advancing the grades of the staff, and for
making the rank of engineers, paymasters and
surgeons absolute instead of relative' and
assimilated. The Admiral approves of the
plan of giving the heads of the different staff
divisions the rank of Commodore in the line,
and lie suggests that in order to avoid any
possible conflict of anthority, higher officers of
the stall and line, of the same grades, shall
not be sent to sea together in the
same' vessels, but that the former shall be de
tailed for shore duty, of which there must
necessarily be a great deal at all times in hos
pitals and machine shops. The other subjects
discussed in his letter refer to the number of
officers of each grade which will be required,
and tbe necessity for the precedence at all
times of, the executive oflicer of a ship while
a ship is in service. The former matter can,.
of course, be regulated by the necessities of the
government; the latter will not be found fault
with by sensible staff. officers. These will be
,gratified to have at last an official endorsement
Of their 'claims from the highest officer of the
navy, and the people of the country will be
pleased to see that Admiral Farragut does not
conntenance the absurd aristocratic preten
sions of some of the line officers of the navy,
but is anxious to recognize the Claims 'of the
staff officers to gentlemanly treatment, and to
do such .exact justice to brave and accom
plished'men as they deserve, and as the best
interests'of the navy require.

CITY BULLETIN.
TIIE PACIFIC COAST.--AAtEEICAN TRACT
SOCIETY-UN/ON Mamria-G.—Last evening a
meeting was held in the First J'rebyterian
Church to hear htateulents of a delegation of
the American Tract Society, mently re
turned from the Pacific coast.
Itev.Dr.Johnson, the pastor, presided, and
made an address. He reioiced that the• Chri
stian Church was brought face to face with
this unsectarian and efficient Missionary or
ganization: We are too much accustomed to
ruu in the grooves.of our own denominations,
and to think that men can go to Heaven in no
other Way. These societies lift us out of these
grooves and up to the thought that others are
eflitientlV Serving the Master. This Society is
the right arm of the Church. It goes
wherever civilization goes, anti penetrates by
its many-tongued press the dark regions bo
yOnd.
Be had the pleasure of introducing two
representatives of the Society, both of whom
bad been for years visiting destitute places in
our Own land and inaugurating Christian
work, and who could give their personal olr
servations.
Itev. G. L. Shearer, Secretary of the Society,
said that its chaxitaltie Work is dependent
upon the churches, but its busine , s is self-sup
porting. Its donatiotui and legacies for 160
were $127,267 ; while its grants of publications,
cash appropriations tor foreign lands, and ex
penditures for missionary uolportage, were
s.l:."l,46o,.exceeding its entire nenevolent in
come
It issues at home and abroad in 141 different
language or dialects. Of its nea4,ooo di&rent
pilule:mons, 3741 are in the German, V. - A in the
- French, and 170 in the Spanish language.
Among the .10,U(X1;000 iipain, Aleineo awl
South America, a huge quautity of this litera
ture bay been circulated.
In this country, during li 4 6;i i if granted pub,
lications , for the needy at the rate of 1,100 per
week, • and supplied 2.91 Union Missionary
colportenrs, who made more than &quarter of
a million Christian family visits. Of these, 105
laboring in the South organized or aided 501)
Sabbath or secular schools among destitute
whites and freedmen, with overso,ooo scholars;
and in more or less direct Connection with
their efforts, Inure than :;,160 hopeful conver
sions are reported.. -
In the recent trij 12,000 miles on the
Pacific Coast Le had been impressed with the
natural wealth of the region, but had found
great and abounding spiritual olf.,,tit talon. 'The
proportion of the evangelical church member
ship, which in the whole Unjust States is 17
.per cent., is here only 31 per cent., and beyond
a few of the cities and towns it is only two
per cent, ln one State of 50,000 inhabitants it
is less than ono per cent.
One city visited, of 10,000, had 185 church
members, and a town of 1,500 had only 20.
Another town of 500, and a district live miles
square, with a population of 3,000, - hail no
xtreans 'of instruction.
The miners are intelligent and enterprising,
but so migratory as to be scarcely accessible
by the timid ministry. Churches erected have
been deserted as the towns or camps haVe
been abandoned. They can be reached by the
colporteurs or Union misslonary,wlio,by per.
sonal effort awn he circulation of books and
traetS,can-help to, preserve the spiritual life of
the few professors of religion, and he Call or,

was for the organization Of churelo.ii.
The leading ecciesiastical bodies—Baptist,
Congregational, Methodist and Presbyterian
—gladly welcomed and heartily endorsed this'
work, pledging the sympathy and support of
the churches. Prominent pastors, including
the Rev. Drs. Stone, Scudder and ,
spoke earne itlyTor the cause at pUblie meet
ings in the principal eities of the coast. Dr.
Dwinelle said that ecclesiastical machinery
had proved too slow 4) reach ilip mining popu
'idiomatic( that the Union missionary colport
age of the American Tract Society, which is
practically Christianity oh wheels, was adop
ted to nitiet'thiS want. " • '
Au agency of the Society, had been
established and a depository opened at San
Francisco, anti a district secretary had been
appointed for the coast. A corps of colpor
tears bad bean commissioned, of Whom , one
labors in Washington, two in Oregon and the
remainder in California. In the latter State
one of the colporteurs is a Chinaman, front
the Mission Church of Rev. Mr. Loomis. !le
is supplied pith publications from the mission
press, being aided by the society at Shanghai,
China. ith him an American colporteur
co-op craft 8 . , the one gathering scholars and the
other enlisting teachers. Of the 80,000
Chinese in the United States only about 1,200
are under instruction in Salibath•-scheols.
They are anxious to be taught, and learn
rapidly. A book adapted to teach them; with
Chinese and English letters, is, in course of
preparation for the Society: . The speaker ex•
hitated specimen pages, and also the report of
this colporteur for Jauuary,written in Chinese.
Occasional conversions are reported.
The. expense of this work will rquire
$12,000 to $15,,000 this year, for which tunas
must be raised in addition to the other work
of the tioeiety. This must be raised mainly by
the eastern churches.
The position of. California. as the mother of
States, aid the Interests of tie,Oco school chil
dren, demand that these adverse influences of
infidelity, indifferentism, Romanisin and Pa
ganu-M should he counteracted.
Mr. John E. Vassar, missionary colporteur
of the Society, said that in his personal Lthors
he had found those people ready to hear him
speak of Jesus, and to receive and read tracts
and books. Be admired the energy of the Mi
ners in Colorado. Nevada and California, and
was glad to say that when they are converted
they are equally energetic in spreading the
()nivel.
He gave instances of the power of
tracts in this work.
Tho Chineso are hero in largo numbars.

whiehis an increase of nearly twenty per cent.
upon the amount transported over that of the
previous year and about 16i per cent. upon
the gross receipts of the road.
The increase of tonnage has been chiefly
from the lake freights, which have to be car
ried atvery low rates to compete with other
lines.
The total amount of stock and bonded.debt,
January Ist, MO, is $21,002,300. Among the
bonds are general mortgage 6 per cent. gold
bonds on the whole road, $3,698,006, issued in
conformity with an act of the Legislature,
parsed in April last. The• application of the
- procATils of the stocks and bonds issued is set
forth in detail, and then the report sayS: " In
connection with this subject, it may here be
remarked that neither in the transactions just
referred.to, or in payment for work done, or
for any other purposes than its legitimate ob
ject (viz., payment of interest on our bonded
debt, taxes, and maintaining organization),
has any part of this thirty per cent. of the
gross receipts due this Company ever been
applied." •
The company has secured control of the Oil
Creek and Allegheny River Railroad Com
pany, commencing and ending at fevineton
and Corry, which will secure to the Philadel
phia and Erie Conit.any a full share of a large
and valuable oil ironic.

A large amount of work has been done on
the line during the past year, consisting chiefly
in the construction of upwards of tea miles of
sidings, completion of Lewisburg branch
road, improvements at Erie harbor, shops,
station houses,
On the 31st of December, 1800, there was

The report then says :,
Tints far, one receipts from earnings have
been t.ttib tient for the payment of our interest
aec'ount, taxes, &c., and as the business of the
road is !•tadily increa-ing, we may reaSonably;;
expect; in the course of a brief period, to be
able to declare a dividend to the stockholders.
Jt is the policy of your board, however, not to
commence dividends until assured of our
ability to continue them with reasonable rept-
larity."
The road is now in good condition and has
been run with much regularity during the past
year.
• The Treasurer's report was then read.
The reports were accepted and ordered to
be entered upon the minutes. •
31r. C. Irluvilliers offered a resolution in
structing the Trustees of the Sinking Fund to
invest the amount in the hind, 5.165,000„ in the
bonds of the company, giving preference to
those earliest maturing when they can be had
at par or tinder.
31r. John 31. Kennedy said that the Sinking
Fund is provided for in the mortgage, which
defines - What may be done. The Trustees
represent the creditors. 'He did not think that
it is competent for the stockholders to instruct
the Trusters. Ho moved that the resolution
be postponed for the present. Agreed to.
31 r.• Benjamin Marshall submitted the fol
lowing:
io'crw, red, That the Board of Managers of
this Company be and they are hereby author
ized and requested to confer with the lessees
of its road and prOperty, and; if praeticable i to
agree with them upon such modifications of
the terms and conditions of said lease as said
Board may in their judgment deem right and
proper; and the raid Board are vested 'with
lull power for and on behalf of this Company
to cuter into any agreement respecting the
same.
In "offering lids resolution,he explained that
its object was to increase the revenue of
the company. Many articles of but little
value are carried and have to be transported
at low rates. Thirty per cent. profit is too
much and the lessees, therefore, refuse to
carry then'.
Mr. D'lnvilliers offered an amendment to
be added, viz.:
Rewired, That the terms of the lease shall
not. he changed to the detriment of the Phila
delphia and Erie Railroad Company.
Mr. Kennedy thought that the lease should
he revised, so that the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company shall receive its outlay-for actual
expenses. and the stockholders of the P. and
E. road shall receive the profits. That will
prevent a clashing of interests. There is no
dirpesition upon the part of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company to make money out of the
stockholders of the • Philadelphia and Erie
It:ahead. In order to allow the stockholders
to more thoroughly examine the subject, he
Moved that the resolution be postponed for
the present. The motion was agreed to.
31r: D'lnvilliers offered the folloWing:
li(soirtd, That the incoming Board of Di
rectors be requested to issue a stock dividend
of per cent., to represent the amount of
new work paid for and the payment to the
Sinking Fund during 1869.
On motion of Mr. Kennedy this resolution
was postponed for the present. •
The meeting then adjourned to go into an
election for Directors for the ensuing year,
T'nou reassembling the tellers announced
the election of the following Managers: Ed

danger, in the course - of time, or lapsing into
anarchy, Congress would clearly have a right
to go into that State and enforce the provisions

thing to decide, to admit a State or refuse to
do so, and Congress cannot do both.
