EASTER CEREMONIES.
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.

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.

NVlll,enuire; an.l Phicing the sins Of a

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

The Cole of Whittemore.
WA iffI.II(GTON, Feb. 24.—The expulsion case
came up in ,the House, and Mr. Logan yielded
•to Whittemore, who was beginning to speak,
when the Speaker interrupted him to lay
before the House his resignation, which had
been sent to the chair when he took the Boor.
The Speaker said . Whittemore was no
longer a Member of the House; he could riot
speak iritheut unanimous conaent.
Mr. Logan objected to. Whittemore 'speak
ing if be was. not a member. 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.. Dawe4 thought it a bad ride that
memliera could escape deserved pun
ishment by resigning. In that way the House
loses all control over its members. The origi
nal resolution for etpuision was then laid on
the table without decision
• Mr. Logan offered a resolution of censure,
declaring that Whittemore, late member from
South Carolina, had been guilty of conduct
making. him unworthy to occupy a seat on
this floor. •
Mr. Butler asked unanimous consent for his
client to be beard upon this, but an objection
was made, and the preyious.question was sec
onded, and the ayes and nays were called
upon Mr. Logan's resolution,and it was passed
by 1f.5 ayes, no votes being recorded in the
negative : Butler, Poland and a number of
others not voting.
Postal Telegraph.
Mr. Orton was before the Senate Post Office
Committee to-day, and argued fur an hour and
a half against postal telegraph.
• Statement by iciattemore.
. It is said by Whittemore's friends that in his
speech, which was written out, he charged
that members of the committee which judged
him knew that the witnesses who have been
examined held letters implicating themselves
as he had, been implicated, and that he be
lieved these letters bad been destroyed.

Mr. Burlingame was first brought prom-

him with rifles. , Brooks paltered-sind hesitated,
pretending to fear violence in making a trip

Again. there bra tort of homosopathy About the gold
market—a decline produces a:decline. The feeling that
gold was cheap anywhere below 125 brought buyers l uto.
the market constantly. 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. The
wore recent issnes, however. still show a martin of seve
ral per cent. difference. but that margin Is to-night the
narrowest in their record, for while gold has fallen seve
ral per cent . within the past few weeks. the ti'e and 6.3'e
loteayielded only about a-half percent."ln brief, gold
manifests a tendency to overcome and obliterate the di! ,
terrine between its price and that of all the issues.
