ct '. 1 1111.15 SUPBEIIE COURT BILL.
'The ablest debate which has occurred in the
Ifinhitylvania Legislature during the present
4t!4ll,!estilted yesterday in the paSsace of the
tilnrime Coort bill over the - Governor's veto.
hi
In the Senate the discussion brought out, most
e? tie strongest > minds of that body on both
political sides of the Chamber, in arguments of
great dearness' and ability, demonstrating the
presence of an unusual amount of intellectual
force in the present Senate. The reasoning of
Senators Howard, Mumma, White, Wallace
and Furman upon the legal and constitutional
soundness of the bill was of the most conclu
sive and masterly character. Senator Bucka
iew, while raising one or two objections to law
points in the bill, defended its constitutionality
with great vigor and precision. Senator Lowry
made a brief and passionate appeal for the bill
u* Use ground of its humanitY. Senator 9ster
bout , made a very feeble and_ illogical opposi
tion to the bill, and the Senate • then poised it
by the decisive vote, of twenty-two to five.
In the Mouse, also, much ability was tis
playeeiti the debate over this important bill,
which was qualified, however, by One or two
remarkably unreasonable propositions. Thus,
Mr., McCreary, of Erie, objected that the bill
allowed a condemned man to put his life
thrice in jeopardy! He urged that the Con
stitution does not permit any citizen to do this,
and that it jeoparded a man's life twice, to
• apply for anew trial, in a capital case! Mr.
Craig, of LaW'rence, announced himself as
consciei4iOnslY opposed to all eitpiteg pitnish
ment,,,and then' made a, speech,: aratlpst , the
bill! With :these exceptions the House did
itself much credit by the,style and ability of
this debate. Idr. A. C. Smith, of Dauphin,
made an eloquent speech in behalf of 'the bill,
and Mr. Josephs touched 'the heart of every
andlier by sending up to the Clerk a letter,
reteived 'yesterday by 'Senator Lowry from
the Widow of Gerald Eaton, urging him, witli
• much simple pathos, to interpose his
influence 'to give to Dr. Schoeppe, as
anethervictiin, of circtunstantial evidence, all,
the advantage of the pending bill. The debate
was.closed with a most admirable argument
by liir.Speaker.Strang. He disposed of the
severalUbjections of the bill, and stated his
reasons for supporting it with an easy force
which told powerfully upon the House. , Mr.
Strang 'made one peculiarly happy point in
answer to the objection that this bill was
.special legislation, in reply to Mr. Craig's appeal
that We should not disturb the criminal laws
" which had existed fOr a thousand years."
Mr. Strang took the ground' that alinost every
important advance in civil and criminal juris
ence had been the outgrowth of some
special caie, which bad developed the necessity
for a reform in . existing practices. "But for
the'special legislation' of the Stamp Act;"
said : Speaker Strang, our American Revold
flan might never have occurred."
The enactment of this bill into a law again
presents the opportunity for a fair adjudication
of,,the _now 'famous Schoeppe case. An im-,
pressioe exists that this case was disposed of
by the Supreme Court, in its decision of Mon
dary last, and that the judgment of the .lower
Curt has been affirmed. ' This, however, was
not - the case. The supreme Court simply de-,
termined that it had no power to act in the
case, and therefore refused to take it up. The
power is now conferred by the bill, and Dr.
Schoeppe will, of course,'claim his right, and
so secure a fair hearing before the highest tri-
bunal of the State.
The'following
is the bill which has now, Le
anne a law :"
"That in all cases of murder and voluntary
manslaughter,, a writ of error from the Su
preMeCourt to the Court trying the same,shall
be of right; and may be sued out upon the
oath of the defendants or defendant as in civil
"In all cases of murder in the first degree
removed into the Supreme Court under the
previsioUs of the -first section of this act -or
now pending in the said Court, it shall be the
duty, : of the judge thereof to review both the
law and the evidence, and to determine
whether the ingredients necessary to ConSti
tote murder in the first degree shall have been
found to exist, and if not so proved then to re
verso the judgment and semi the same back for
a new trial, or to enter such judgment as the
laws of this Commonwealth shall require. All
writa.of error now pending in the Supreme
Court, and in case of murder or voluntary
manslaughter, shall be held regular and of
force to remove in such cases, and to au
thorize and require the Supretue Court to hear
and determine the same With like effect as if
gned out after the passage of this act."
It" is due to Governor Geary to say that,
while entertaining objections to the bill which
has.' just passed over his veto, he expressed,
yesterday morning, the most cordial willing
ness to ; sign a bill' for Dr. Schoeppe's relict, if
drawn in accordance with the views stated in
his veto message. Senator Lowry's extrava
gant dentinciation of the xecutive was
scarcely, justified by the moderate tone in
which the Governor assured us, yesterday
morning, thattbe friends of Dr. Schoeppe need
be under no apprehension that. be would not
give his ease the' most deliberate consideration;
or that be would not give the fullest weight to
those arguments which have been based upon
the broad principles of law. justice and
humanity, in behalf of thiS wrongly-condemned
MOW IN THE SCHOOLS.
. .
Tomorrow afternoon the appropriation bill
will one up in Common Councillor final ap
provai, and It is known that a desperate effort
will be made to secure the rejection of the
ironm of $lO,OOO for music in the public Schools.
The: opponents of this appropriation are
divided into three classes: members, who con
sider it a foolish :Waste of time and tuoncy to
have any. musical instruction at all; those who
want to place the whole matter under the
direction of other parties, some of whom have
already. attempted to teacl► in , the schools,
Ow who are entirely irsdifferent upon the
bubjeet, but who dcktirt to malat a Ithoyrs?f ,
economy by voting Seriinst"'itri ripproprido'n'
which cannot 139 4onsidered absolutely
'necessary. The first of these men are beyond
the reach of. argument. We ,conki not tope
'to consince them of the value of popultuiza
don of music if we were to attempt to
prove its ' harmonizing and Clevating in
flneuce, to show bow communities devoted
to this noblest fine art are inevitably refined
and lifted above a taste foregone; brutal, and
criminal amusements, or to demonstrate the
fact,that instruction of the children in music
will give therri•larger opportunity to earn their
bread. There are, some persons who believe that
a gooll education comprises knowledge only of
reading, writing and arithmetic, and who have,
no conception of the kindly influences of the
liner studies in, the home circle and in society.
Such Men occupy seats in the Common 001111-
. 61 chamber ; but, • fortunately. they are very
few in - number. To the economical gentlemeh
we may observe, that Boston, last year, ex
pended thirty thousand dollars upon music in
Ler free schools, and her citizens, who cer
tainly are as careful of their money as we are
of ours, were so well eatisfted of „the
value of the result, that they . leave
devoted a- larger sum to the purpose
this year, and that, too without half as
much grtimbling as we have had;over,.onr
small appropriation. Other cities have been
generous in a less degree, but nearly all of the,
great cities in the country give something - to'
this object, and have a musical system in which
the citizens take pride and interest. Sootier
or later music must be taught in our schools;
there is no doubt whatever of that fact; the
question is, shall it be done now or at some
future time? If we abandon „the present:
scheme the money expended last year will !be
thrown away, and when we • attempt It , again
we shall have to begin over ' again if we can
find a competent musician who is enough of a
fool to trust-himself arid' his reputation to the
whims of Mild and changeableollicers of the
- The present director was
placed in yosition by Councils without solicita
tion frEm anybody, and if he is summarily
kicked of t, all his labor and pains, with.:
Out having a fair trial, it will be shameful and
disgraceful.
We urge this plea upon those members of
Councils who . have friends aspiring to Mr.
Louis's plaCe. Some of these aspirants have
been tried for years ; •and found wanting most
lamentably; it would be folly to give them
another chance in the very face of their failure.
The advocates •of the untried , teachers who
want the PoSition, ought, in common justice, to
give to Mr. Louis that which they would ask
for their own candidatesif they were success
ful—an opportunity to show what .10 can do.
We understand that a'great deal of the oppo
to the preSent system comes froth . the
school directors, who • wish to control the
appointments of music teachers' in .their own
sections., But itmust be entirely manifest to
every man who has a spark , of intelligence
that such a method, of appointment would
make proper and uniform instruction 'of the
children entirely impossible. There must be a
single system in operation in all the schools,
and to obtain this the teachers must be selected
by a: dfrector who can understand their capa
hilities and worth. and can have independen
authority to compel them to teach in accord
ance with his instructions. Any other
arrangement would hnsure disorder and confu
sion, and whatever appropriation is made
would be utterly wasted.
In view of these considerations, and of
others, equally strong, which have been urged
in these columns over and over again, we ask
the members of Councils to vote this sum of
money for the desired object. For Mr. Louis
personally, we care nothing -in this matter...
We did uot recommend him for the, position,
or express any cordial approval when the ap
pointinerit was made, But we have examined
hissystern carefully, and we know it to be .
founded upon the best models and tq possess a
great deal of merit. Its remarkable success
even during the brief period of itg
application proves this. We demand,
therefore„ :that be shall have a fair
chance to show what he can do with, it within
a reasonable time, and for this purpose we
must have the appropriation. We ask this for
him, as we would for any other man in a simi
lar position. If he is competent and does his
duly faithfully, let him be retained; if be fails.
turn him out and try another person. We want
proper musical instruction from somebody, and
if it is proved beyond queStion that Mr. Louis
' cannot give it we will be the first to advocate
his removal.
BLACK AND WHITE.
In the spring of ISO Jefferson
Senator from Mississippi, quitted the United
States Senate Chamber, formally taking leave
of the government to which he had. sworn
fidelity, and avowing his intention to` , ; join a
new goveriarnent—a white man's government— ,
forming in the South, of which he afterwards
became President. Less than nine years from
that leave-taking,Mississippi,again in the Union,
is represented in the United States Senate by
:a black man—the first direct successor to the
seat of Jefferson Davis. From Davis to
Bevels may seem a long stride; but Revels is
said to be , an honest, sensible, well- .
`educated man, . who is also thoroughly:
true to the Union, and Union
then consider the stride a forward, and not a
backward one. , The Legislature of Sonth
Carolina, nine years ago,' was Very busy work
ing, for the construction of the Southern Con
federacy of States which was to perpetuate,
theslavery of the black race. Now the Legis
lature of South Carolina is largely composed
of black men, and it, has elected, black - men
to its Supreme bench and to other important
offices. From all, accounts, the mixed black
and white Legislature is one of the best, if not
the very best, that South Carolina has ever
'NHL and the colored men it has chosen for
prominent offices are said to he as intel
ligent .as the whites of the ancient
r(littne. At any rate, they are human beingS,
and they are not traitors. There have been
no tyrannical and riotous acts committed by
them, either Iry ColuMbia Charleston, just
as there have been none committed by the
lately elevated blacks of Mississippi and, other
slates. And we venture to predict that if,
under the effects of emancfmt ion and,the Fif
teenth Amendment, negroes should ever, pre
dominate in the Congressional delegations of
the Southern Ettatfm, there will be /eB6 1w-

the house of a Mr. Myers, tiff. .thitt ;city, on
Saturday night, and was engaged •in helping
himself to various articles, winn he was
covered. Myers grappled with Min, but the
burglar drew f piste) and, firing several
wounded bun badly in, two places. But with
the help of ritrother Who was aroused by the
disturbance, the villain was secured. Yester
day he was indicted and arraigned for trial,
pleading guilty to the two `charges—one bur
glary and the other assault and battery with
intent to kill Mr., Myers's evidence was given,
and the 'prisoner was then sentenced
by Judge Peskin - to pay a tine
of c 2,000 and to be imprisoned in the Peniten
tiary for sixteen years and six months. Thus
iu lesa than three days from the time of com
mitting his,,trime, he Wars consigned to a con
vict's cell for nearly half an average life--time.
Judge Paxson deserves the thanks of all good
citizens for dealing thus promptly and decidedly
with this miscreant. A few more such ex
amples will have a good etibet, diminishing the
number of crimes of all kinds, that have been
increasing so rapidly under the toleration or
neglect of our present police.
In the Rouse, yesterday, Mr. Elliott, the
worthy representative of the Fourth District,
defeated the Sewage Bill, carrying an amend
ment which struck out all but the enacting
clause. Mr. Elliott is not yet as conversant
with parliamentary rule as some of the older
members, and his method, of killing the bill
leaves life enough in it to carry it ' to ' the
Senate,. where it maybe amended. We think
the Senate ratty'safelY pass the•hill just as it
conies from the Rouse: 'lt had, in its original
form, all the odor of, a • very costly job, and it
is very satisfactory to see the House, some
times, at lesit, throwing bills out because they
are jobs. Whoever will invent .a proper and
honest method of cleaning the streets of I!hila
delphia deserve, the thanks of the whole
comm Unity, but the bill itself must be a clean
one.

quently work at all these establishments is

rather than yield Sonic of thorn, however,
are fearful as to the result, and it is said that
several of the foremen have advised the men
to go to work at the reduced wages
until' a c ruhrtr' favorable ' opportunity for
a strike offers , itself. It is stated that
the. Rennselaer Iron Works has enough manu
factured ironon hand to lest six months. and
these foreinen think that it would be better to
wait until this quantity is 'reduced: No meet
ing had been called up to 11 o'clock this morn
ing,'and no conference has heen held with the
employers. The Men are; congregated - in
groups on the streets in the vicinity, of the
works, and discuss the strike alining -them
selves With' great earnestness. Some of then
Teen say that if this reduction had been made
during the summer months they would have
been better prepared to strike. The employ
ers appear to be determined to insist•on their
terms, and the end of din difficulty is hidden
in the future.

THE: CASE OF, GEORGIA

Case of Fitz John Porter.
f Orley's] Despatch to the PLUa. Evening BulletinJ
WA ,
lINGTON, Feb. 16---The question of
re-Opening the Fitz John Porter court-mar
tial case, and the efforts that are being made
to restore that officer to his positiontn the
army, are a good deal commented upon. hero
In political and military circles. The pressure
to give General Porter another bearing is
very great, and, from present appearances,
is likely to produce the desired result. .
While thitt'Subject is befOre the public, it is
the intention of Senator Chandler, during the
next twoor three days, to ask the indulgence
of the Senate, to make puhlic some
Interesting and, hitherto unknown evidence in
reference to Gen. Pope's campaign in
Virginia and Gen. Porter's connection there
;with. Senafor Chandler, whit was a member
of the.Cornmittee on the t:onduct of, the War,
will; make a remarkable statement—that the
pourt which convicted General Porter Was
unanimouslyin favor of sentencing Gen. Por
ter to death for failing to obey the orders of
Gen. Pope ; but thin sentence was hot found,
for the Sole reason that President Lincoln
gave them to understand tbat he would not
approve of it. Upon this being known; the
Conn., agreed upon _the severest sentence
which they believed the President would ap
prove tif and cause to be carried out. Senator
Chandler's speech,which he says will be made
for the Sole purpose of vindicating history
while all the witnesses familiar with the filets.
are alive, is likely to Cause a sensation.
• The Rale ofCadetships:
. The committee charged with investigating
the sale of cadetships to West Point and the
Naval Academy by . Congressmen, at their
meeting to-day obtained some important evi
dence cumrdicating certain Southern mem
bers; also, evidence of a secondary nature,
which is said tb affect two members frond
Pennsylvania. The committee have obtained
the times of certain persons, who, it is re
ported, -have peen engaged in the sale of these
cadetships, and will summon them to appear
at once.
It is reported most positively in Washing
ton thiS morning that the Military Committee
have in their possession documents in the
handwriting of the member from the
Twentieth District of Pennsylvania, proving
that that gentleman sold': cadetship in Wash
ington for Zr O._
IThe Twentieth District comprises Clarion.
Crawford, Mercer and Venango counties; and
is represented by Calvin W. Gila Han
d Georgia Cage.
The Senate Judiciary Committee had a pro
tracted meeting to-day, at which all documents
sent to the Senate on Monday la:-t in reference,
to Georgia were fully: considered and dis
eussed,w ithout coming to any definite botiehx-
Mon tht!reon. The Committee seem of •the
opinion, however, that while the condition of
attin,: is not exactly 'what it ought to he,
it is best not to delay the admission of .the
tital., any longer, and will, therefore, probably
agree to report the bill admitting the State to
eentation.
Bill to liepeal the Neutrality Laws.
General. Banks introduced a bill in the
Honse, substantially the same as Senator
ton's, repealing the neutrality laws, and allow
ing both Spanish authorities and Cuban in
smyents.an equal chance to obtain munitions
of war, u and askedreference to the Com
mittee on Foreign AlMirs, of which he is
chairman.
The .111mmissippi Bill.
The debate ou the Mississippi bill was -re
sumed at the close of the morning hour in the
Senate, and, from the present indications, is
not likely to close to-day, there being a dispo
.sition on the part of a good many Senators to
continue making speeches until those who op
pose the House bill are completely tired out,
and manifest a readiness to accept it without
an amendment.

Orders wereithjs morning issued from the
Navy Department to the recruiting officers for
the navy at Boston, Portsmouth, New York,

discantiune •at !once all enlistuneMts fur the
navy; in consequence of the limited munber
(8, 7 ,110) authorized by the act of Congress hav

will be to detain the Colorado, now • tit
ling out ,in New York to relieve the
Delaware !as tiag-ship of the East India
squadron. The terms of service of the
men ' the vessel anti many on the
station have already expired, Ana there is a
mast pressing need for men on that station.
Other stations are also in need of men to re
lieve those whose terms have expired.
The, Navy , Department has urged upon
Congress to increase the number
of enlisted . men to meet this
contingency, but no action has been taken in
the matter: and the result is that no men can
new be enlisted to meet the demands of the
service. Hence a number of vessels owforeign
stations must return to the United thates and
have their crews discharged, leaving only a
few yesseln iu such foreign stationS.
