KOBE SNAKES.

terests at the State Capitol are kept busy in
watching, and giving warping to the public of
new designs' upon the treasury or upon the
tommon franchises of the people.
The last “Snakes" of importance that have
made their appearance are the Sewage Snake,
—already scotched, if not killed,—the Border
Raid Snake, and the Trenton Water Power
Snake. The Border Raid bill is, in reality, a
raid upon the treasury. Whatever merit there
may have been in the original claims set forth
its this bill, it is, in its present shape,
simply a gigantic scheme of plunder.
71da is'already notorious in Ilarrisburg. Smile

direct approaches from its engineers, with of
fline to buy their silence; and it is well under
stood that a large proportion of the hum asked

A private letter to the Pittsburgh Conainer-
Oita, from Harrisburg, dated on Monday, from
a gentleman of reliability and experience, says
of the scheme and its 'promoters:—"The
greatest swindle of the year is to be offered in
the House to-night.. Bribery is now at work
to set it up, and members are approached with
the impudence of the devil, with offers of
-money to vote for it. It is the bill to pay for
damages two millions of dollars for raids on
our borders'ditring the rebellion. It is a per
fect swindle, and I . firmly believe if it passes
one-half will never go to the people interested."
The people of Pennsylvania ought to be,
if they are not, grateful to the press of their
State for the fearless and vigilant service ren
deredt day by . day, in keeping in the blaze of
publicity one scheme after another, which
would succeed could it only be done in secret.
The last dangerous bill that has appeared at
Harrisburg is published in full in the BULLETIN
of to-day. It is a scheme to fasten upon the
community aseeond edition of the Schuylkill
Navigation Company. It proposes to sell out,
or rather to present, the Delaware River to a
Private corporation, for the erection of dams
and canals and the control of the water-power
of that noble stream. This water-snake comes
wriggling into the Legislature at a bad time.
Phikulelphia is fresh flPorn a very severe lesson
upon the, folly of,surrenderine its water-courses
to any private corporation. The experience of
last summer, and the pending claims of the
Schuylkill Navigation Company are quite suili
sient te forbid the idea of a voluntary duplica
tion of these difficulties at some future time,
by tyin& up the Delaware as the Schuylkill is
already tied up.
Whatever people may say about the corrup
tions of the' Legislature,—and we should be
the last to suggest that there is not a terrible
amount of it at Harrisburg,—it is a fact that
there is a strong power in both chambers reso
lutely setting its face against every scheme that
has the odor of a job, or the suspicion of a ser
pentine tendency about it. That there are men
there who canbe bought as easily as any other
article that is for sale in the Harrisburg mar
kets, 'there is very little reason to doubt.
But there are so many keen . eyes
now watching them, and so many
associates' andwitnesses ready to expOie ' their
malpractices, that we entertain the belief that
it is betoming constantly more difficult to en
gineer these plundering schemes through the
Legislature.
lithe press of the State will do its duty faith
fully andiearlessly, the time is not far distant
when It will become the Saint Patrick of mod
ern ximes, and drive out the last snake from
our Legislative -borders.
A FEW GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 0*
AFENN,SYLVANIA.
There can be no question that there is great
need in Pennsylvania of a State geological
survey. The money which is yearly sunk in
ignorant and ill-advised ventures could and
should be 'saved to individuals and to the State.
This could be effected by a thorough geologi
cal, mineralogical, and paleontological exami
nation of the State, which would cost less than
the aggregate sums wasted thus in a few years.
Pennsylvania, with the richest treasury of
eoal in the world, immense iron wealth, and
with almost a monopoly in the production of
that new and most valuable fuel, coal oil,
sits gmpinely, neither using het spare capital
to develop 'this great wealth properly,
nor even taking an inventory of her goods,
with the aim of attmeting capital from else
where. What would be thought of that man,.
who, with a large and fine library, had no list
of books in it, but required those wishing to
eonsultanyauthor, to expend hours of their
valuable time in looking for him amongst
thousands of useless volumes? What would
be thought of that housekeeper who left all
the keys of the house in a drawer together,
bat unlabeled, so that Whoever w'shed to"un
lock the wine closet must try the key of the
clothes prest 2 the pantry and the bureau, lie
fore succeeding? Yet this is precisely what,
as a State r we are doing. The remarkably full
developinent of strata, from amongst the
eldest' rocks far up into those of the Secondary,
ie a library; the volumes of Which need but to
be studied and labeied to render great assist
ance to the practical man, and throw much
light on questions with which pure science—
ever the precursor of practical application—is
mow grappling. The deposits of clay, sand
stone, limestone and slate are keys wherewith
to unlock the mystery now enclosing the coal
oil of Pennsylvania; but these keys are un-_
known, and ere we come to a full understand
ing of its nature and of the concomitant plie;
nomena of its occurrence, there will be many
a wrench in vain at the lock, because of the
wrong hey. • •
We have been informed by the agent (it a

and the company is"'confident 'that by con

pended by the sanguine stockholders on logic
of the following kind: 'Mr. Smith," a' lawyer of
New YOrk,liVeii 'up three eights' of stairs,
, 'therefore Mr. Jones, a lawyer of Baltimore,
also lives up three flights of stairs. Now, to'
be sure, such fallacies may be said to, be er
rors of judgment made by ignorant persons ;
but besides the material advantage which
would accrue to the country by elevating this
wild and desperate gambling to the dignity of
legitimate speculation, there is a duty which a
State owes to the cause of enlightenment' and
education; to the parent of both, truth, and to
science, which is the highway to truth, not to
bury its talent in the ground, but to use it.
Can anything be suggeSted 'which' is more
likely to yield a . rich interest than 'the careful
examination of the treasury on which we live ?
The last survey of this kind, under Professor
Rodgers, did work which reflects credit on all
concerned in it. Objections are to be made
to the manner in which this surrey was
carried out. The: assistants have just reason
to complain of conduct on the part of the
superintendent which deprived them of their
just share of credit in the work. The results
of this survey were a splendid report, printed
in Edinburgh, in which was a map compiled
with great care and skill by Mr. J. P. Lesley,
and three collections of fossils and specimens—
one of which, was burnt, a second is stored
away in an insane asylum near Harrisburg,
and the third is divided between the cellars of
the University of 'Pennsylvania and the gar
rets of the Franklin Institute—L-2s was stated
a couple of weeks ago by the editor of the
Rai/roed. end .Mining Register. The coal
and the co-ordination of The strata were the
two,.enhjects which received the chief attention
of the Rodgers survey, nor is it to be wondered
at nor deprecated ; for, in a subject se vast, it is
necessary that a general outline of the whole
be made before the proper attention
can be given to details. Since the close of that
survey new coal mines have been opened, new
iron ore beds discovered, and, above ' all, the
whole matter of coal oil has arisen.. Now
is ready to make a thorough
going survey. The outline is there; the Work
of the last survey Will be a rade mecum of this,
and with not undue . liberality on the part
of thoSe in whose keeping are the interests
pf our State, the services of the best geologists
in the country can . be had to paint Pennsylva
nia'S picture in such a way as to be apillar to
science, a guide to enterprise, and a monu
ment to the honor of the State. •
A NAPOLEONIC IDEA.
The liberty of speech, that the new Napole
onic policy has Introduced into France, is haV
ing, and may continue to have, rather embar
rassing effects. In the Legislative Body this
liberty sometimes takes the form of .what the
French call interpellations," which are some:
what in the nature of a resolution of inquiry
in our Congress, though they do not require to
be adopted b'y a majority;, for when a deputy.
makes an interpellation, one of the Ministry,
sitting in the Chamber, is expected to answer
on behalf of the government. Thus a radical
member, M. lieratry, lately made some inter
pellations about certain letters of Napoleon 1.,
and certain documents relating to the present
Emperor's invasion of Boulogne, which used
to be in the Government archives, but which
are said', to have disappeared. The letters
were damaging to. the character of the first
Napoleon, and the Boulogne documents, of
course, made the third appear ridiculons. It
is attested that they have all been spirited
away.
In the conme of the proceedings in the
Legislative Body, a particular • incident oc
curred worth putting into English. M. Keratry
spoke especially of the disappearance of forty
eight papers which had gone into the hands of
the " Chief of the State," tinder an order coun
tersigned by Marshal Valliant and M. Rouher.
." I hold in my hand," said he, "a letter indi
cating a tendency in this direction of as early
date. It 'is from the President of the Republic,
bearing date December 27tb, 1848. (Inter
ruptions.) You do not want to hear the read
ing of an autograph from the Chief of the
State ? (Read 1 Readl from several places.)
This letter is as follows :
" ELY6KR, December 27, 1248.—Monsieur le
Afinislre I have inquired of the Prefect of
Police 'whether be did not sometimes receive
infoimation on diplomatic affairs. He
answered affirmatively . , adding that he had
yesterday sent you copies of a despatch on
Italy. These despatches, you understand,
ought to be sent to me directly, and I must ex
press my dissatisfaction at your delay in com
municating them to rue. I beg you also to
send me the Rix paper-boxeslhave asked for.
I wish to have them to-Morrow. They con
tain the papers concerning the Strasbourg and
Boulone atiaira. Nor do Itinderstand why
the Minister of the Interior should wish to
overhaul articles which belong to me per
sonally. This was not done under Louis
Philippe, and ought not to be now. For some
days also, I have received no telegraphic
despatches. Finally, it seems to me that, the
ministers I have appointed want to treat me
as if the famous constitution of tielyes was in
force, but I shall not allow it.
"Accept, Monsieur le Ministre, the as
surances of my high consideration,
[Signed) L. N. BONAPARTE."
" This letter," said M. Keratry, " was a pre
face to the disappearance of the papers of
which 1 have spoken. If it is important to
the imperial family to put its initials on all
our monuments in stone, we ask, in the'name
of the country, that all the historical monu
ments that concern it, be respected by the im
perial family." It may well be imagined that
there was a sensation in the Chamber at these
words.
In reply to M. Keratry's iriterpellation, M.
Maurice Richard, Minister of the Fine Arts,
could only say that if the archives had been
thus tiespoiled-4or which the 011ivier Minis
try could not he held responsible—it should
not occur again. There was no denial of the
spoliation,and it is said that Marshal Valliant and
Prince Napoleon assisted the present Emperor
in removing the first Emperor's scandal-proving
letters ; but that the removal of the documents
about the Boulogne fizzle, and the trial and
condemnation of one Louis Napoleon, was the
exclusive work .of the Epiperor Napoleon 111.
horn the .Inquirer might deSignate, without
regard to gender or sense, as née Louis Napo
leon. The bold interpellation and the tame
resi,onse !rave created winite a fresh ripple upon
the alicady disturbed current of French poIi-
ties, and there le a prospect of some pretty
lively scenes in the. Legislative Body,and some
animated discussions in the papers, before the
French people hecome reconciled tp this new
laie Napoliontenne, of stealing public docu
ments to save family reputation.
ADMIRAL 'PORTER AND 411111 NAVY
,As might have been expected, Rear-Admiral
Poiter has openly declared himself the enemy
.of the bill for re-organizing the staff of the
Navy, and Is exerting himself to secure its de
feat. if Congress does its duty it, Wilintterly
disregard the suggestions of Admiral Porter
and act in accordance ;with that popular
view which regards a reapectable sur
geon, engineer or paymaster, as the,
eqital!" of any naval officer that
ever strutted on a quarter deck. It is well
known that the opposition to the organization
of the staff 'upon basis; of common justice,has
,been led by Admiral Porter, whose aristocratic
opinions are entirely : at variance with the son-
Able views of Admiral Farragut. We are glad
therefore that Admiral Porter 'has shown his
hand,and in a letter to the Committee on Naval
Aliairshas given us his reasons for the faith that
is in him. From the published abstract of his
letter we learn that he has but two reasons. Ile
hag sailed two hundred and fifty
.thousand
miles with staff officers who held assimilated
rank, and were treated just a little better than
enlisted officers, and as he never bad any trou
ble with them and the Navy was efficAnt, he
is satisfied. Once in his life he sailed, with
an , engineer who had positive rank
and consequently refused to run the engine,
and bad to be put in irons. The first fact we
think is pretty strong evidence of the justice of
the claim of the staff officers to advancement.
If these men, smarting.under a sense of wrong
and humiliation, and compelled during those
long cruises to submit to petty assumptions of
authority on the part of line officers, froni Mid
shipmen ! upwards,' never once offended
the laws of the Navy or of propriety, they
proved themselves to be gentlemen who can be
trusted, in ' perfect safety, with higher privi
• leges. At any rate, the fact that the Navy got
along very weli ' witb an nnjiist system does not
prove that it "will not prosper more under a
sy:3tent which treats every officer as a gentle
man. But we know that Admiral . Porter's
assertion that the Navy is doing well under the
'old methods is not true. We know that many
of the most accomplished surgeons and engi
neers have resigned rather than submit to the
insolent tyrrany of the line, so that now, in the
surgical department at least, there are not
enough officers to meet the requirements of
the Navy, and'physicians who wish to retain
their self-respect will not offer themselves as
candidates. ,
In regard to that offending
s engineer who
was placed in irons, we 'may say that Admiral
Porter treated him exactly as he deserved,,and
if every engineer in the navy should' be given
positive rank to-morrow, there would be noth
ing whatever"to prevent the infliction of pre
cisely the same punishment for the same
otlenee. The notion that every staff officer will
be unruly, and will refuse to attend to his
duties because he has positive and independent
rank, is simply ridiculous and unworthy of dis
cussion. Every decent man will be likely to
do his duty better, with the consciousness that ,
he is in a just and proper position ; and if there
are any others, who refuse to obey orders, the
commanding officer will still have the right to
appeal to a court-martial and secure the re
moval and punishment of the offender.
We want. Congress to heed the voice of the
people in this matter, and to pass the bill now •
under consideration, altering it if necessary in
accordance with the suggestions made by Ad
miral Farragut, whose opinions will recom
mend themselves 'to every intelligent and
patriotic man.
THE PUBLIC TRUEVIS.
Close upon the refusal of the Legislature to
repeal the'aet creating the .Board of Public
Trusts comes the,.decision of the Supreme
Court affirming the constitutionality of the act.
The Board of Public Trusts thus becomes a
practical fact. It enters upon duties of vast
importanee, which will test the abilities of its
members to the uttermost. That they will
seek to discharge them with a high regard to
the gravity of the iesponsibilities devolved
upori them we have no doubt. The duties of
the Board are complicated, numerous and dif
ficult. The proper management of Girard Col
lege alone would seem to demand the whole
force of the Trustees, but we presume that
there will be such a system adopted as will en
able the Board to•act through delegated power'
to such an t txtent as is necessary for its practi
cal working. We certainly wish the new sys
tem a full, fair and successful experiment. If
it fails it will be because the appointments have
not all been judiciously made ; but should thi,
be the case, there is an easy remedy, in the
change of the appointments until AtIMNi de.
monstrates that we have "the right indii in Up
right place."
A desperate effort is being made in Long rest'
to secure the removal of the
...Brooklyn Navy
Yard to New London, and as the • people of
Brooklyn are very willing to, part with the
yard, and the New Londoners are exceedingly
anxious to get it, there is a very fair prospect
of the success of the scheme. This is the
second part of the movement against League
Island. Baffled in their attempt to defeat the
plan for the erection of a naval station:here,the
New England delegation is determined to do
the next best thing—to give New London a
first-class navy yard. We shall now
perceive exactly how much sincerity
there was in the protestations made
by Mr. Dawes and his New England col.
leagues against the League Island scheme upon
the ground of its uselessnessrand cost. There
is no necessity for the removal of the Brooklyn
Navy 'Yard, and no advantage can possibly be
gained by it, as. in the case of the proposed
transfer of our yard 'to League Island; while
the expense in the former case will be two or
three times greater than in the latter. If the
men who voted to table the League Island bill,
for economical reasons; support this scheme,
we shall have confirmation of our opinion that
their action upon that measure was inspired by
the meanest and most selfish motives.
In the • general congratulations over the jus t
conclusion of the contested election cases, the
public, should not- fail to recognize the inipor•

THE CUBAN REVOLUTION.
The dlmatlon..•iovernment Plans.
HAVANA, Saturday, Feb. 12, 1870.—The last
few days have been barren of any political or
mihtary movements of importance. The in
surgents in Cinco Villas hardly give any signs
of bfe, and if the columns of Generals Paoli°
and G oyeneche,. which left Puerto Principe on
the sth mid Bth mat ; should meet with any
marked success, the statement of
the Spanish authorities that the rebellion is
drawing towards a close mustbe received with
more credence than it has been accepted hith
erto. The families who for the past twelve
or fifteen months have followed the fortunes
of the insurgent forces, and who have shared
the privations and hardships of the Cubans in
the geld are presenting themselves in
large numbers to the- Spanish author
ities demanding pardon and protection;
a number of armed insurgents have
done the same, but not in such numbers as to
afftiet materially the Cuban forces. It is a
matter of doubt whether all these families
have left the , insurrection merely on account
of the hardships they had to endure or whether
they obey some order of Ceepedes to that
effect. It is certain, however, that a body of
troops encumbered with a numerous retinue
of . families, and therefore compelled
to move owly and with care, cannot
be as efficient as when such obstacles are
removed, The Spaniards intend to rebuild
Guainiaro, Cancan . ° and other towns de
stroyed by the insurgents, and to people them
with the families who have surrendered, and
place forts at each of these places for their
protection. The result of Goyeneche and
Puello's present march will decide this more
fully. I hat the Spain art IS are still as confident
and hopeful, and, in fact dream of no other
solution than the pacification of the Island at
an early date, is amply proven by the. decline
of the premium oh the notes Of the Spanish
Bank, which can now be exchanged against
gold, in any quantity that is offered, at one and
a ball to two per cent. premium, a mere
nominal rate, and not as lugh as the notes of
many strong and reliable banks in the United
States were i-mesh before the war. Hundreds
of abaseS and rascalities, permitted under
former governments, have been suppressed,
and as far as honesty and straightforwardness
are concerned, the present executive members
of . affairs in Cuba take the highest possible
stand.—Times. •

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17:—General Banks' re
solution in relation to Cuba was discussed at
length by the House Committee on Foreign
Affairs this morning. The prevailing senti

cidedly In favor of extending aid to the Cuban

The question was not disposed of, however.
but was allowed to go over to the meeting
on next Tuesday.

The Senate Postal Committee decided: thii

In the Senate, to-day, eflorts were Made, to

that the Mississippi bill would be 'disposed of

oho* a change for the better in Utah, bUt the
facts are theta greater degree of proscription
exists there than ever before. He plosed with' •
a strong denunciation of polygamy:
Mr.. Van Wyck, who successfully contested.'
Green's seat from the Eleventh yew; York
District; advanced and.was sworn in. • , .
The ROllB6 then went into Committee of the
Whole for consideration of the Appropriation ,
bill.

The iteni,of one burldredtbousand dollars
for the payment of
,judgments rendered trY
the , Court of Claims in favor of the Olaitriants'
being tinder consideration . Mr. Kelsey moved
to amend the proviso so that no such , Judg..•
went, exceeding five thousand dellart, shall
be paid unless specifically ' aparopnated by
Congress. Agreed to.
Mr. Poland moved to strike out the ,wbole ;
proviso. • ,
Mr. 'littler 'considered the proviso a 'violit 2 '
tion of good•thitb. For instance, during' the'
war the Southern cotton owners had put cot- .
ton into the bands of the Union army, which
'was transported North and sold under the
pledge that the proceeds would
,be paid to
them on proof of loyalty; and now,when these
claims have been rendered by a court,we pro.•
pose tobring them Anto the House. and ,sub
yect the claimants to further delay, and annoy
amen. .
Mr. Dawes said the enormous amount of•,
fraudulent claims trumped up and collected '
by agents all over the country rendered it '
necessary for Congress to exercise a careful'
supervision over the Judgments of the Court
of Claims.. That Court . was originally orga.'
nixed only , to render. decisions, and their
judgments,alvvays came before Congrm, and. ,
if nothing was deyeloped within one year to
invalidate any claim payment was ordered.
