The,,Ledger comments with ,undue severity *pen Mr. Whittemore'S resignation of his seat ia Congress, yesterday. It takes the ground that lie bad no right to "cheat the gallciws," tut was bound in honor to stand still and be kicked out of his seat. And 'this appears to have been General Logan's idea, too; for, after Whittemore was dead, he insisted on his being Immediately drawn arm quannrcu, dene, by a resolution of censure upon the "late member of the House." And yet, taking, the statements of Mr. Whit temore as true, his elate, bad as it is, might bare been a good deal worse. He claims to have " a conscience void of offence" in the matter; to have acted from loyal and patriotic *bodies; to have bad no corrupt purpose, Whatever, in view. Mr. Whittemore says that there were no young men in his district, eligible to appointment. They s•Were all either white rebels or black loyalists, and be would not appoint the former, and could not appoint the latter, by reason, of their inability to pass the requisite examinations. He therefore went out of his district to make his appointments, but required the lads to make a legal residence in his die trict before appointing them. He acknow ledg,es that money was paid for the commis slots, but asserts that it was expended in bnildmg schools, and feeding and clothing the impoverished and destitute. • • , Now we agree in denying that "the end jus dies the meins;'? • and hold that Mr. Whittemore was amenable to expulsion. But if he felt that, through • any good: •eletives, ho had lfronght himself under the technical demands of tbelaw, .and was a transgressor in fact, though not in intent, we think that he was justified ' in- seeking •to : avoid': the odium of censure and expulsion, by resigna tion, and to ask for time, as he did, to perfect that resignation. He was wrong, of eourse, in attempting to speak . in Congress, after be had notified the Speaker .that he was no longer a member of the HOuse,but thiswas . the only part of his recent coursewhich seems tolikeiit a censure which sounds precisely like complaint of people who have been baulked of the treat of a public execution, by the natn; sal death of the criminal hi his cell. •• • • .• • There is one charge made by Mr. Whitte more which is of the very gravest significance. lFie asserts that his judges, themselves, are not all free of stain in this business of cadet:trading. The charge is made,plainly and circumstantially, and demands the most searching investigation. If it is true that any member of the committee has been, In any way, implicated in the selling of cadetships, Congress and the country are • . hound to know all about it. If the com mittee fails to summon Mr. Whittemore as a witness, or to lay his testimony on this point before the public, that public will have the iight l and will be bound,to believe that he has told the truth. It is very certain that the committee has pressed this case to its issue with an almost feverish haste, and shown very little disposition to give the accused any op ' portunity to defend himself. it remains to be seen whether there was auy special reason for hurrying Whittemcire out of the way or not. ' Our single interest in the whole business is to.see fair play given on all sides. Everybody agrees that the selling of cadetships is an odious and ,dernoralizing practice, and everybody re joice.s at the prospect of its being, thoroughly bfeken up. But we cannot see any • very heinous offence in Mr..Whittemore's resigna tion, and cannot but feel that if the investiga tion is honestly carried out it will appear that the committee has not selected the strongest ease to make its first point on. WOMEN ON 'IRE WAR PATH. The. leading Members of that combination of bare-legged and brazen-faced women know!' as the "Lydia Thompson Burlesque Troupe" have figured in more than one breach of the peace, since their arrival in this country, as the assailants of certain critics who chose to ex- press their-disgust at the vulgarity, coarseness and utter stupidity of the performanees of the company. The latest encounter of this descrip tkm occurred inChicago yesterday. A certain editor incurred the displeasure of these people, and a council of war having been held, it was decided to make a sally upon the sanctum and to assault, demolish and utterly destroy the offender. Mr. Henderson is the reputed busband of Lydia, but he was afraid to go alone, having a wholesome recollection of a most uncomfortable flogging received from a New York journalist ;so he summoned to his aid the low comedian, Lydia, and Miss Markham. Mr. Henderson is a strategist. He reasoned in this way. "If I attempt to punish iit'u'Vt4rAded scribbler, he will very likely kick me down stairs. If I get my wife to strike him his, . manly instincts will restrain Um from retaliation." This was prudent and sagacious, and showed that Henderson possesses some knowledge of human nature. So Lydia purchased a whip, and, accompanied by the-whole party, sought the editor and pro ceeded to apply it to his person. The result of the conflict, which was short, sharp and de . eislve, was,that Henderson and his burlesqners were marched off to prison, while the editor ranained hi possession of the field and the In regard to the propriety of any woman making au assault upon any man, we have to giay that, whatever the provocation, the deed is a cowardly one. The woman realizes that the inan is her superior in physical strength, but . she knows that the will be protected from re taliation by his instinctive respect for her weak- Less, and by that very excellent popular theory which stamps as a villain and a brute the man who lifts his hand against a WOlll4ll. doubtedly"there may be occasions when men who have slandered innocent women or str i ven to bring them to <lif,lionor and slaimi; !w ed punishment; and . nobody will' extend to such fellows any isympatily if they ; are f,an.. 'Shed unmercifidly. But it is better at all times Oat the male friends of the injhred woman should avenge her wrongs. Indeed, the mere fact that a woman descends to the, use ,of vio lence, excepting in 'very rare 'eases, is pretty dim proof that the woman deserved, the repu tation given to her. , It will be fovind, we think, that the instances are few in which &pure, sett sitive,womanly woman has undertaken to vin dicate +herself in this way. Inevery ease that We can recall of the use of personal violence by a woman, against 'a. man, the woman would have received her just deserts if she had been flogged in turn by her victim. But if this theory were tmtrue in its general application, still It would fit the Lydia Thomp son case exactly. She and her company eame before the public with an exhibition which was stupid and vulgar. It was intended to be funny, but it could not afford amusement to any person who had- intellipuce enough to despise crippled puns, slang and coarse allu sions to prominent persons and events. The only attractions for the masses were the half clothed figures of the weteela of the company and the contortions into• which those figures were thrown. Honest critics told the truth about these entertainments ; and when Hen derson could not, after repeated efforts, cajole them into eulogy or silence, the fair blondes' took the matter up and abused their persecutors by name, in violent' and indecent language_upon the stage. This fact alone de prived them of any right to complain of harsh treatment from the public press ; Miss Thomp son repaid her critics in their own coin, and as she had 'the advantage of superior fluency iu the use of vituperative langnage, she had rather the best of it. At any rate,if Yogging was to be done it would have been in much better taste to have consigned that duty to Henderson. He has been reproached already withthe shame of amassing wealth by public display of his wife's person ; and we. should think 'be could hardly bear the shaine of hiding behind his wife's skirts—whenshe wears them—to avoid personal conflicts with her tormentors. • THE APPEAL OF COUNCILS. The action of Councils, yesterday, in provid ing for an appeal to the ,Supreme Cour,t of the United States from the decision of the Supreme Court of this State, was, in our opinion, propel and Some of the arguments in favor of Such ,an appeal were friVolons in the extreme but the sufficient reason lies in the' fact that i the question is not carried to the Supreme Court by the city; it will be taken there, in all probability, by the heirs of Stephen Girard, and, with all the glorious•nncertainties of the law before them, Councils are quite right in obtaining the decision of the last and highest tribunal, before they expose the great in terests of the Girard estates to the danger of reversion to the heirs of. Mr. Girard. The requirements of ,the • several public . trusts are not so pressing but that they can await the decision of the Su preme Court, provided that due diligence is used to procure an early bearing of the case. We have always advocated the Board of Public Trusts, tont we cannot but endorse the cautions action of Councils in the premises. Some of the personal assaults made upon the Board of . Trusts, in Councils, yester day, were beneath contempt. Mr. Cattell is reported as saying that "the gentlemen coinprising the Board of Trusts • were ' Politicians." •Is William Welsh a politician ? Are George' H. Stuart, Edward King, Alex. Biddle, J. Gillingham Fell, Gustavus S. Benson, James L. Claghorn, or John H. 31ichener, politicians? Messrs. Mann and Collis are politicians, but "what are these among so many ?" These last two arr pointments are undoubtedly unpopular with many citizens, but they constitute only one sixth of the Board; and cannot, in any sense, be said to " comprise" it. The fact is that the personal characters of the gentlemen "com prising the Board" are the highest recommen dation of the whole measure, and the one ad mitted fact that most gives it its strength. We do not know whether Mr. Cattell is "politician ,or . not, but it is very cer tain that Councils, as a body, are composed of politicians, and they are not, necessarily, the worse for tie fact. Iry CoMmon Council, Mr. Ray -went still further than Mr. Cattell,and said that he believed the city trust bill "had been conceived and passed in corruption." We be lieve it is well known that the chief promoter of this bill was Mr. William Welsh, who acted under the advice of such gentlemen as Judge Strong. Nothing can appear more preposterous in the eyes of Philadelphians than to talk about the " corruption " of a bill, conceived and passed under the auspices of this sty le of citi zens. Mr. Ray's objection to the Board of Trusts, that one of its members, meaning; we presume, Mr. Collis, "had written decisions for the Judges of our Supreme Court" is worse than the weakest argument against the use of Inde pendence Square for the public buildings, if such a thing is possible. if Mr. Ray's charge is true, it indicates a high degree of legal ability on the part of at least one of the Board, but if it is true, it is the business of the Supreme Court and not of Common Council. Perhaps the Court will appoint an investigating com mittee and summon Mr. Ray as a witness. All these personal assaults were unnecessary and out of place, There was good, solid reason for ordering the appeal to the Supreme Court, without descending to these gratuitous attacks upon one or two individual members of the Board. We' certainly will not be sus pected of being champions or defenders of those members, but we deprecate such person alities, because they are undignified and unbe 7 coming. We approve the action of CounCils in this matter, but regret the methods resorted to by some of the members to secure that ac tion.. The Union Passenger Railway Company have offered to the Park Commissioners fire hundred dollars towards defraying the expenses of hav7 ittg music in the Park upon the afternooni of bright days i►ext summer. We hope to have this good example imitated by the directors of the other lines leading to the Park, so that a sufficient sum may be raised to secure the services of a good band for the entire season. it is perfectly proper that the railway' co►n panies should undertake to contribute in this manner to the pleasure of the people. They have obtaiLed a great many privileges (rein • the community without paying for them;, they lovy a constant tax upon the popular pocket book by exacting exorbitant fares, and they ; , 'FRIDAY, FEBRUARY' 25; 1870. derive large pecuniary profit from ~ the presence in thel'ark of any special attraction Which willinduce crowds to assemble there; We do not expect any of the companies to'act in this or, any other matter, from a Mull sense ••ot duty or obligation; but as the expenditure of a few hundred dollars for such a purpose will be simply a most remunerative investment, we do not perceive why there should be any hesi tation about handing the money over. The Green and Coates streets, the Arch street; Rao. and 'Vine — streets, • the Girard Avenue com panies are as much interested in this business us the' Union Line, and we would like to hear that they are ready to contribute their cash to the cause. • • '• Mr. Speaker Blaine's letter, comparing the expenditures of the first 'year of President, Grant's administration with the last year of that of Andrew Johnson, contaltartwo or three leading facts which deserve to be impressoil upon the public mind. Since the 4th of March last, the expenses of the Government have been sixty million dollars less than they were during the preceding year when the Demo cratic administration was in , power. During the latter period, Mr. Johnson and his friends contrived to increase the public debt six mil lion dollars; the first year of President Grant's administration witnessed a reduction, of the debt by eighty million dollars. The revenues were honestly collected when General Great came into office, and, as a consequence, the receipts were twenty-six million dollars greater during his first year than they were during Andrew Johnson's last year; and this, too, in spite of the fact that many of the taxes from which Mr. Johnson derived revenue were re pealed. These are facts which, a child can comprehend. They tell their own story plainly and forcibly, and they are the most satisfactory arguments that can be advanced in proof of the honesty of the 'economical professions of the Republican party, and of the ability of the present administration. The Mae Coarse. Prof. Morton lectures at the Academy of Music next Monday evening on "Eclipses." Most of our readers, no doubt, know that Pro fessor Morton organized and conducted,under the auspices of the Nautical Almanac Office, at whOse head is Prof. J. R.C.Coffin, U.S. N., an expedition to lowa last August, to make photographs of the total eclipse of the sun,and that this expedition 'succeeded in its object; but; few probably know how successful this party actually was. Now, however, that time has elapsed sufficient to allow of the compari son of results both in this country and abroad, we find that'no such series of pictures exists as those of the "Philadelphia Eclipse Exped;- `lion," the highest authorities being judges. Thus the Astronomer Royal of England, writes : "There must be something peculiarly favorable to astronomical photography in America. Either the air is clearer, the instru ments better, or the operators more cool. Certainly I know of no pictures of a total eclipse equal to these." De la Rue, the pio neer in this branch, writes to the same effect , 'while in the English scientific journals, such as the Ghernicai News, Quer terig Jotiriiiil of Science, Photographis News and Engineering, the highest compliments have been paid to the work of our fellow -citizens. When therefore we see that Prof. Morton (as we learn from the syriopsis of his lecture sent, to ns) proposes to exhibit at the Academy of Music a reproduction of the phenomena of , a total eclipse as seen, and recorded indelibly by himself and party, we look forward with pleasure to seeing at ease and without loss of time, all we could have witnessed had it been possible for us to travel half across a continent, last August But beside this we are promised a number of brilliant experiments, with numerous lime lights, colored shadows, luminous phantoms, electric tubes, a large illuminated orrery, the oxybydrogen blowpipe and other means of illustration. This lecture is in the interests of the Frank lin Institute, which, if anything else were needed, adds to its attraction. 11 , EA I) QUARTERS FOR EXTRACTING TEETH WITH FRESH. NITROUI OXIDE GAS.

The first regular quotation was 1174 from which the price ran rapidly don n to 1154, a vision of specie payments within a week almost startling the terrified Lulls "mot of their senses. There are hundreds amen in Wall street—Americaua by birth and vaunt—who, paradoxically, are alweys on the " bull " side of gold, and are ever belittling the country, the governm"nt and the finances. Such peoplel are the victims of the present line. In the long list of failures dui lug the winter there were many bousee with" this same gloomy mental view of the government, who were constantly looking for the utter demoralization of the currency and a rise 'is gold to enormous figures. All these classes of com mercial speculator's and gold gamblers have been ship wrecked and laid np high 141141 dry by the sudden enbsi &tee of the 11110111111111 011 gold. The market bad two distinct movenieuts to-day. It first went off to ll3!a on the sale of "long" gold, which was literally poured upenthe market. It will he remembered that in the Lank statement last week the curious discrepancy be tween the small loss of specie by the banks and the cus toms payments of the week was explained on the hypothesis that the decline 111 gold below 120 had thou brought ant vast stores of gold boarded ' families, in merchants' safes and like private sources. This fore•, mien there were large sales of the same kind of gold. The y effect ayes the decline to 115%, the speculators 'telling out as well. ID the afternoon the price reacted to. 117, but upon the receipt of the news that , the Senate had unanimously adopted a resolution declaring against fur ther inflation of the curreocy and on its becoming known that Seeretarr Boutwel'l had bought one uni tive of bonds at' the Enb-Treasury in addition to the million a(Aicited, another semi-panic sit in and the yrice tumbled to is the lowest since August, 1851: Imisnoleh as the general rate paid for " carrying' to-day was 431, to 5 per cent. the market seems as yet without a short interest Exceptionally, as high as seven per cent. was paid to have gold carried, which was two per cent. above the rate for money on call.

It was even said tl at Secretary Boutwell is preparing statistics to show that our exports fur theexpiked stx months of the cur-• rent year are thirty millions in excess of our bup.irts. It is not stated, however, whether the exports incluitsl shirmentS if five'-twenties , the quotation for which ad satiesd to 00 in London to-day, and, with the Senate re soltitionossieted in the" break" to 1163 i.

The committee then reported the following recommendation for amendments ,to the Na tional revenue laws, which are at the earliest moment to be presented to Congress' for con sidetation : Resol rid, That the system of the pr sent law compelling manufacturers of tobacco, cigars and suutt to wake monthly returns and an imal inventories, affords no protection to the Government, while it entails uselesSlabOr and expense on the manufacturers. We ask there fore that it he abolished, and that.the bonds be also modified. Resolved, That the manufactured snuff tobacco, cigars and sm. having paid the tax required of the manufacturers, ought to be: treated as. general merchandise, and not be subject to the additional tax on sales. The next amendment proposed 'created a warm debate. It was proposed that the In tetnal Revenue law, which requires the names of manufacturers to be inserted in the caution label and before the manu facturers! business brand. on cigar boxes, be abolished by Congress, as being of no security or service, either to the Govern ment or the manufacturer. t *Lis proposed that the number of the Manufactory and the district alone be visible in-tbe'caution laber' ' ' The Convention is still in session.
