Common people, who have been misled by police reports; and resolyttione of Councils, and contested electiOn easee,"and other such unreliable sources of, Information, have eon eeived the, idea that the Moyamensing Hose Company consists largely of roughs, rowdies, repeaters, ballot-box stuffers, and • other de scriptions of outlaws. How this delusion should ever have fastened itself upon the popular iiiind,. it is vain to inquire. That it is utterly erroneous, must be evident to every one who is privileged to participate in any degree in those annual festivities which have' made the name of Moyamensing the social annals'of Philadelphia. The happy holder of a ticket to the Moyamensing Ball enjoys, of course, the_ highest realization of the fallacy that .has so long possessed the ,pnblie mind. The outside barbarians who line the approaches to the :Academy of Music, on the. eventful night, catch gleams and gliimpses of the inner glory, and exalt their favorite lire company to the seventh skies. But *net alone to the few thousands who thus worship in and around the Sanctum Sanctorunt of the " meri torious institution for. the extinguishment of fires "is it vouchsafed to enjoy the bene:fits of the enterprising " Moya's " social splendors. The great public, itself, the.people who read the newspapers, are Trivileged to' share in the general enjoyment. ror the " Moya" is not only a proud leader in the halls of fashion, but also a planet of the first magnitude in the firma ment of literature. The advertisement of the "Annual Ball and Festive Re-union" of the Moyamensing has, as yet, only appeared ,in the Sunday papers, but the religious public of Philadelphia does not confine its reading to . the SundaY news papers, and there will be thousands of really very good people who will not know that the "Baster Season" is to be "inaugurated" this year by a ball " which will eclipse in bril liancy and enjoyment all former re-unions, which haVe been pre-eminently successful in affording unalloyed pleasure to a multitude of friends." If the - Pope does not dissolve the(Ecumeni eat Council before that time, it is to be. pre sumed that the approaching Easter season will he inaugurated, at Rome with, unprecedented " brilliancy and enjoyment" by the great as semblage of prelates now convened at the Imperial City. But Pins IX. must bestir hini self if be desires his inanguratiOn to outshine min. "Celebrated maestros" are to condUct our music, composed by the " Most renowned Masters," and "rendered with signal ability, precision and effect, exhilarating the partici pants in the ma'.y dance, and animating the pronienaders in the Stately March." "Ornate Novelties" will enhance the splendor of the scene, and gratify the most ex acting taste," while a number of singing bird have kindly consented to "warble their sweetest carols" for this one night only. "Money, zeal, taste and talent,"—lavish Miiya!'—" will be exhausted to promote the fe licity or the occasion" and to "signalize the Idoyamensing Ball as a brilliant epoch.' There is a shade* of regret in the idea that not only zeal, taste and talent are to be exhausted, but that the last dollar of the Moya boys Is to be expended on this Easter ceremonial. There is a wild extravagance about such enterprise that is Oriental in its profuse hospitality. But Easter concludes Lent. The "festive re-union " marks the • transition from fish to fiesb, and from'small beer to generous wine. The inauguration ceremonies would be incom plete did the managers only cater to the eye and ear and nimble foot, with birds and " ornate novelties" aMI "floral gems" and maestros "and "choicest productions of the painter's art to intensify the attractions of the gorgeous spectacle." The palate is not to be forgotten. The foyer of the Academy " will be arranged for'the entertainment of the guests,. and the cuisine, viamin and wine will be of the rarest excellence." Here the Moya' has Ilis Holiness on the hip. Pius IX. may have a reasonably good citimine ; but how about the' " viands and wines `l" We will back the foyer of the Academy's Easter Monday banquet against the Vatican's most Apician effort.. We are really glad that the Moyamensing Dose Company has thus devoted itself to the fine arts. Whatever that enterprising organi zation does, it does with a hearty good-wilt which challenges universal admiration. It grapples with Music, Painting, Literature :and the social science of popular festivities,witlithe same impetuous energy with which, in days of yore, "with torch and trumpet,fast arrayed," it, " charged With all its chivalry" upon the serried ranks of hostile and rival companies. Genius commands reverence everywhere. And there is a genius about the Easter festivities of the Moyamensing before which we bow with un affected admiration. As our feeble tribute we have given the substance of the programme of the services for Easter Monday, free of charge. Nor is this a tardy submission of the ZNI*N- Bruacrix to the commanding dignity of the Moyamensing Hose. As long ago as the spring of 1805, when the great news of the fall of Richmond reached the glad ears of Phila delphia, we enjoyed the confidence and patronage of the "Bonnie Dundee" and his "brave dunniewassals" of the Moya; and, it vas from the roof of the.liummist building that the howitzer of the Moyamensing,manned by the impetuous " and a chosen band of the boys, thundered out its salvos in honor of the great event.; while generous whisky flowed freely from a stone jug into a broken liea-eup, testifying in every gurgle that it was upon the Evr.wrsuri litimmerst that the Moya mensing rested for that canonization which is Mr be made c. 4 xnplete on gager Monday next. , . • 0 . 011k0 1 1!! 1 1 01344 Y. Thee majority o iiinvOte rs i n the county of . Tipperary, Ireland, seem to be as Obstinate and ,pig-headed s lot of men as can be found:in `any ecantinutity in idle world. Sortie months agoi.hey bad to choose a person to represent them in tbe c tionse Gommons . ..lnstead of sending a inctit'WhO Weald gave eared 'for their interests, and exerted himself -to redress their grievances,they deliberately elected,O'Dotiavan llossa,.a' Fenian conviet, who was at that mo ment, in prison serving • out a long sentence. This was merely a ,bit of 'foolish bravado, which was Intended to impresS Upon Ptirlitt- Meet, and the English people.tbelloyalty of the people Of Tipperary to Fenicinisna,and' their unchangeable hatred of the Saxdu. Certainly' the: most stupid of them could not have expected that ~ the . British Government would pardon -this feldn and permit him to take a seat in the National Legislature. Such an act would have been an admission of the injustice of Rossa's ,sentence, and of 'all the prosecutions which have been maintained against Fenian agitators in Ireland; . and it would have ruined any ministry, that per mitted it: When the matter came up in Par-• liament, it was 'decided prOmptly to keep O'Donovan Ros- a in prison. Having expressed their sentiments once; and so declared their abiding faith in Fenianiam, the voters of. Tip perary would have done wisely to have elected an eligible man; giving him instructions,' if they chose, to exert himself to secure the release of the imprisoned patriots', and to • display his Irish eloquence in advocacy of the cause. But in stead of this they have deliberately elected another convict, Mr. Walter Kickham, who is now enjoying himself cracking stones or sewing shoes in the penitentiary. Of course Parlia ment will reject him also ; and then, the Mulish gentlemen of Tipperary will probably confer their favors upon' some other felon: Dow . lOng they 'intend to keep up this kind of thing can only be conjectured; but from what we know of Irish character, we may assume that the list of : convicted Irishmen will be ex balloted before any attempt is made to elect a man who can take a Seat in Parliament. , In the meantime Tipperary will be unrepresented; but as the only sufferers will be the people who indulg3 theirldgotry in this ridiculous ; manner, nobody will sympathize ,with them very deeply. They will probably find that Parliament and the 'English people can stand it as long as.they DON'T HODDER ME. The inauguration ceremonies at Harrisburg, lasrmonth, were marred by the disgraceful Lehaviour of the Fire Department of that city, which attempted to break up the procession, in eonsequence,of the presence of the Excelsior ltegiment froiu this city, Whese members in dulge in. a little .more cuticular bronze than is fashionable among the Democratic tire-roughs of Harrisburg. The Philadelphia companies, presenfon that, occasion, refulied to participate in this insult to their fellow-guests, and the Harrishingliers took nothing but discredit by their motion. On Washington's Birthday, the Philadelphia Nice Department ratified the Fifteenth Amend- Ment, and received Tito the ranks of its pro cessiOn the Good Will Engine Company,headed by a band of colored musicians, who pasSed our (Bice Merrily playing "Shoo fly! Don't budder me!" with a degree of spirit which showed that they appreciated the full signifi cance of that just now national air.. The world moves. Very few years ago, and these sable musicians would have executed a quick step with a running accompaniment of brickbats, spanners and horns: It would have been more good luck than good management if some n of them had not concluded 'their day's' work with a funeral march, or a visit to „the Pennsylvania llospital. Now they can dis course very creditable music at the head of one of the largest mid best fire companies of the city, with none to molest them or make_ them afraid. The Fire Department has thus ratified the Fifteenth Amendment, and deserves credit for the deed. 'Not that there was no grumbling among some of the old companies, to whom bygone prejudices still stick with stubborn tenacity. There were firemen and there were musicians who shuddered at the terrible inno vation, and even growled out threats of seces sion from the pageant. But thanks to the firmness and pluck of Mr. Chief Marshal McCtilly, these growls died away into acquies cence, the allair pasSed oil quietly and pleasantly, and the most discontented of the gruniblers were compelled to confess that there was "nobody hurt." With this excellent precedent thus fairly established, We presume that there will be no more objection.. to The introduction of L'Afri• twine into the public ticumnstrations of Phila delphia. Nobody will be rough, or unman nerly, Or fossil enough to interfere with the colored bands, when all they have to do in self-defence is to answer back, "Shoo fly! Don't bodder me!" THE SALE OF CADETSHIPS. The Congressional investigation into the sale of naval and military cadetships seems to have reached the point of fastening the dis creditable charge upon, at least, one member of Congress, Mr. Whittemore, of South Caro lina. The case has not been finally disposed of, but there can be little doubt as, to the ulti mate action of the House. Mr. Whittemore's defence, so far as developed by the discussion yesterday, does not deny the charge poiuk blank, as in the . cases of Mr. Myers and Mr. Sypher, but rests upon the assertion that the money was appropriated to charitable, patriotic or general political purposes. It is ,needless to say that such an excuse Is nearly as bad as the offence itself. Mr. Whittemore's declaration that this charge has been fixed upon him, in hOpes of extorting black-rnall from him, has much ground for belief. The disgraceful confessions of the chief witness, Brooks, prove him to be a person as destitute 'of piinciple as of shame. Brooks . appears . to have made this cadet brokerage a regular business, and now boasts of the - dirty success of having purchased a large number of these appointments. Whether, a witness who exhibits such a low moral sense as this is entitled to unqualified belief, must be considered a very doubtful .question. If he i 9 to l believed, then the Commit , tee will . fall - far short of its duty if It contents' itself, .and hopes to Content the country,by merely making a scape-goat of Mr. • THE DAILY EVENINI3 BULLETIN - 1 3 8 ELADELYIII A TPUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24. 1870 NVlll,enuire; an.l Phicing the sins Of a other Congletismen on his bead. . There is less real' difficulty in getting at the truth of this . cate than hi alinost. any investigation ever at tempted by'Congiesa. • The rolls of West Point certainly • • show the Congressional, districts which the cadets represent, and the evidence of the cadets is certainly competent to show whether they came' from those ' districts. Wherever they did not, the Committee has 'a distinct point of investigation, and, we presume Jn that in most :eases it would find no difficulty in getting at, a . , true statement of the method by w MO, the aPpointment ' war: obtained.. Evi dence etillected tmon this line. of inveitigation Wmild certainly be far more reliable than the stories of professional cadet-brokers: Let us have a full and impartial expose of this cadet business, or none at. all. It is cer tainly a very shabby and discreditable practice, and; the worst of it Is that it does not appear to be at all a new one. It hase been winked at and encotuaged until it 'has, reached a point where it can only be cured at the cost 'of much unpieasent scandal. It can now be broken up, but it must be done by , placing the burden of responsibility precisely where it belongs, and not by selecting any one victim as a sacrifice for the rest of the transgressors. MOrMon bill *ea discussed again yesterday in the House' ofßepresentatives, and welare glad, to know that the views of most of the speakers coincided exactly with those that have been expressed in this:paper upon the subject. They declared. their belief that the, passage of the Cullom bill would pro voke war; and if anybody is inclined to ques tion the probability of such a catastrophe; let him read the history'of the attempt made dur ing President Fillmore's administration to crush the Mormons, 'Brigham Young was much less powerful at that time than' he is now; and so, when General Johnstonts , :army approached, the prophet decided not to_ risk a pitched battle. Bot he declared his intention to fight to -the death ; . and long before his enemy reached Salt Lake City, the settle ment was abandoned, the: houses were tilled with straw,. and Brigham Young withdrew to . the mountains, . : leaving behind him a body of men who were instructed to burn the city to the ground if General John ston came near it. ln the meantime Young fortified himself among the mountain passes, • where he arranged for flooding the narrow de files' through which the army would have to, .march, and for hurling down iiinnense masses of rock upon the helpless troops. • A -cinttest, most happily, was prevented at that time ; but Brigham Young,on many occasions since has declared that he woidd tight if another attempt should be made to crush him by force. If he could oiler brave resistance. then, he would do so, with better hope of success now. At that time he had but • a handful of followers; to-day there are in the Mormon settlements more than 20,000 WILL THE MORMONS FIGIIIIEt men capable of bearing arms ; and every man of this force, being inspired by ,the belief that the 'Mormon institutions are divinely•appointed, will fight with all the blind, unreasoning fury which always characterizes 'fanatics who are persecuted for their religious faith. It is use less to discuss this propOsed assault upon polygamy upon any other basis than this. if we ' pass the bill we shall have war; the question Can we afford to begin a costly contest, which will be continued for years, to' redress this do mestic grievance ? We think such a policy would be unwise under any circumstances, but especially so, when we know that the Mor mon Church is, at this .moment, suffering from decay which must illevita,bly work its destrue tion. „ „ Popular opinion biihis country has always inclined to the belief that the Bohemiansof the American press were the most audacious, in genious, shameless and unscrupulous journal istS in 'the world. Bait we think now the champion's belt must be awarded to a certain French reporter who wassent to Rome to look after the Council. This young gentleman found that his mission would be a failure unless be could obtain admission to the sessions. Accordingly he went to some ecclesiastical old clothes shop and purchased a complete set of episcopal robes ; and then, disguised as a bishop and pretending to represent some . antipodal see, this sagacious young man walked into the Council Chamber and took dead Latin notes by the quantity. Of course the fraud was discovered, and the enterprising Caul was kicked out; but he fairly made his title clear to pre-eminence as the most braen newspaper reporter on the face of the -globe. Rids proud conten - Wfor facts is as great, 'and his imagi nation is as vivid, as his ingenuity is sublime, he would win high honors on a New York daily.

Considerable dircussiou ensued upon points of parliamen tary laws. There wana discussion as to whether a resig nation could go into effect without the ac ceptance, real or implied, of the House. Mr. Banks held that it must be accepted. The Speaker held that resignation was ' a voluntary act, with which the House had nothing to do. and referrevi to the precedents of 1861, when members from the seceding states went out. Mr. Farnsworth appealed from the decision of the Chair, which waaalmost unanimously sustained, and the House, therefore, de cided Whittemore was not a member. Mr..

Bence the great mass of dealers' were " long" of it. In the absence of :bo th a natural demand and a' 'meditative demand ' there it but one destiny for the nrice—a decline. The uni versal impression that gold wail cheap kept the : "ahorte ' out, or rather limited"their munbere, and hence the"- bulbs "have gone on day'after day PaYing five or six per cent. to have their gold carried, but with out tbe satisfaction of seeing the market advance. When the market would dmline a few ppintothey sold out ip disgust. The new buyers wild out lq tern, and so the market was slowly falling. It wee In thie condition tills mottling when a telegram from: IVasiblngton announced Secretary Boutwell's intention to pay, the March interest on the tun-forties 'without 'rebate; following which came the government sale at the hub-Treasury at noon of only a portion of the, amount offered. the sold dealers being eo indifferent as to bid, for. only eF,N.Z..000 of the ono million advertised to be mild while at the ennui time. foreign exehunge was weak, on the enhancement of five-twentiet at London and Frank- ' tort. The condensed result was a decline In gold to 111,11" —the lowest point since September, 7902. Curiously enough, the temper of the Bad doom changed to the "bear - side. and of the sales at the lowest figures of the day very many were on imeculative account: - If there is a reaction of any moment Innti Ole present 4 UOtatiilU. In the absence of outside influences, it win he due: to this temptation to oversell the market. The effect upon the Government- market of the decline in gold has also been curiously interesting. In earlier transactions prices were steadily maintained at those of the past few seeks, the &maw! on foreign acconur, ve twenties in London advanelng to day to eit?;, bring such as to offivit the lower premium. But thesharp decline to worked its labium:eat last, and lowered the geue ral list of got eruntente a quarter to a half percent. .The curious feature, however, is the eoualivation of the price of 1159114 and gold. both selling to-day at 117.1 i. In this steady approach of the two quotations to each other. the market seemed to culminate, for with the present cordition,of our national debt and financ , a the maximal) prieo of it bond is not morn than its ronivalent in gold. At Won such ap pears:4 to be the opittion of holders, for the SI 's were freely and generally offered at their par in gold.
