The House of Correction is .onm more at sea, the" Governor having declined to sign the . bill, Out,of. 'regard for the urgent remonstrance •f City Council& In vetoing the bill, the Clovernor gently hints that if Philadelphia should still be without this greatly needed. insti tution, next winter, he' will be prepared to apprbre stich a bill as he has now objec ted to. , The bill which bas just been defeated does not appear to have presented any serious oh jectionsioinitself, to the. Governor, nor does the remonstrance of Councils set forth any of the reasonsipon which it ;is based, so far as the public can learn, from any report of the pro ceedings. The , Governor's, action,' therefore, seems to be guided simply by a consideration of courtesy for Councils, possibly strengthened by an Screasing,clesire to check, legislative ac tion upon local affairs. Now that Goiernor Geary has extended 'the time of grace ibr another year, we trust that the people will everywhere insist upon some prompt municipal action upon thiS important subject. [Councils have wasted • years in discussions and struggles over the ques tion of a site for the • House. of Correction, without coming to any conclusion. The sub ject in itself possesies no more real practical , chfliculty:than the purchase of a,pair of boots. But still Councils have dilly-dallied over a question of the most vital interest to the moral welfare of Philadelphia, until the passage of the HonSe of Correction bill by the Legisla ture has startled them into the consciousness that if they will not do the work the State will do itfor them. The intimation with which the. Governor'closes his message is too plain to be misunderstood, and we shall look con fidently for seine early and sensible action of Councils toward the establishment of such a House of Correction'as Philadelphia needs. • Theauthor of the House of Correction bill, Mr. William F. Smith, 'has failed in this mea sure . by demanding too much. Had he ac cepted the,. amendment of the House, which postponed the operation of the bill one years thus giving CoUncils time to act for themselves, it would, in all probabilitY, bare passed the Legislature and been approved by the Gover7 nor. But he secured the defeat of the aniend inent in the Senate, and ao denied the truth of the homely adage that "half a loaf is better than no bread." The time is past, to snake elaborate argu merits in favor of a House of Correction. Our overcrowded jails and penitentiaries and almshonses; with all the demoralization which is consequent upon their condition, are a Stand protest.against the delays under which this community, .has. wr; stigered,, for years. Utile gentlemen" Compose our City Coun cils can in any way be brought to realize the grievous evil which they are inflicting upon' the cause of law and morality by. their 'failure to provide this praelWal remedy; we trust that the proper influence may soon bp brought tri bear upoti, them: - If this should prove to be imps- slide, it be another strong reason . why the voters of Philadelphia shOuld exercise more in dependout judgment in their selections of those to whom the manygreat interests of the city are committed. TIME LEGAL TENDER. DECISION 'We notice a statement that Mr. Howard, one of the solicitors. of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Company, is in: Washington to COllier with the Atioruey4;!enerid in repird to bringing forward a case, said to he on the docket of the Supreme Court, will give occasion for a renewed orpiment and another decision on this most important onestimi. As a case has already been hieard and decided by the present, judges —four of them denying and three affirmingthe vonStitutionality of the law•-,the hearing will not, as a Matter of course, take place until the phices now vacantan the bench, and fur which the nominations of judge Strong and Mr. Bradley are pending, are tilled in some way by the President and Semite. When the. vacancies are Idled the Court will consist of nine judges, of whom the four who have pronounced the law unconstitutional will be a minority, unless they are supported by one or • •both of the new appointees. At any rate, it is of the most obvious propriety :that an act of such immense public importance, involving, as it does, not only the interests of individuals, but the .power of Congress to pro vide in this way for the defence and safety of the nation, should not be prohibited by any thing less than a majority of the whole court., and we therefore hope that a rehearing may soon be bad, and we also hope that a majority Of the full court may consider and adjudge that Congress may, when they shall consider the measure " necessary" for the safety of the eountrY, resort to this great power; and that of that necessity FongresS must, at the time of the exigency, be the judge. We have already expressed the opinion, after reading those de livered by Chief Justice Chase and Judge Miller, that the act of Congress, mak ing notes legal tender, is not uncon stitutional ; and we. think JUdge Chase's conelosion Is not sustained by his own argument. Ili the coot not being pro hibited by the Constitution, and Cougmss be ing vested with power to declare \via., and to 41i) ntany other things to provide for 11504;On - op Ui etc ((nice and general welfare, as r; eel res Std n 11. e pit amble, they 1111051, NI I ill! jlltige, wheti the time a rriVq•, Wiiikther it be nest yoar, or Lei), t µ .10 y or filly yEari peat " tier.!shary t‘; Ilr 41...__Limr 44.0- plicy Ai) I eilmbillting :it I 410, atilt 4k „',7 - , the tovereignty of - the nation; it will not do' to hail; theruhindered and 'restrained in such time Of diunger by thisdecision of the Judges of the . Supreine'Court `resting in the books: At least, after. the fearful struggle, we have 'passed through, it see,rne,so to rs. , The New ;York Times has made , a very strong . presentation of the case in this light, and In support " of the 'argument, referred to the act, of the British ParliaMent, to the same ,effect, in M . .' The act authorized the iseue, by the Bank of England, of one pound notes (they bad previously none under five), and though it did not make the notes a tender, • provided, in that and subsequent acts, that where suits 'were brought in cases,,where the Dotes were offered in payment, the notes, to the amount of the claiin, might be deposited; according to the order of the Court, and exe eution would be denied, and the costs should be defrayed by the plaintiff. And, further; it was made unlawful to pay or receir,inpaper,a, , nominal large amount in notes' than' was' called for by the contract. Of course a credi tor would have no option but to take the notes of the' Bank of England. Thus the notes' were rnadelo pay by indirection, and it affords a stronger argument for the necessity of the tender clause than any we have heard. This, it will be noticed, took place when England was waging war against the French Republic, and before Napoleon became' so great a terror to them. In regard to the de gree of the necessity we do not, think there is any comparison between the exigency in which the British Empire was placed :at that day, and the danger we were in of .being dis rupted. in IE/62. ' It appears, therefore, that with all the reverence, we were about to say of the 'English people, or the governing class of, them, for the rights of property, they thought there might be a case where the national safety, was of more importance even than that. .In regard to the legal tender act itself, we hope the day may be near at hand when it may be dispenSed with; but we should vastly prefer that it should be done either by the cancellation of the notes or the repeal of the law by" Co ngress, than by a decision of the Supreme Court. One word 'more in respect to a former deci 'sion by the Court, requiring payment. to be made in coin where specifically named. We think this also should be reversed,, or else all future contracts will be required to be so expressed in the bond,, ground rent, or what ever it may be, and thus -a riversal of the last decision will be of less effect. In a mixed 'currency of specie and paper, as in England and here, whenever there is great danger, specie will disappear, and a payment in coin be tendered next to impossible. We think that to meet the exigency Congress should have plenary power to say what a dol lar shall be, and to declare that what they may designate as such shall be a tender for a debt, however that debt may be denominated. This leaves the power with each generationto de cide upon the necessity of the case for itself, instead of having the living present tied,up by the action of the dead and the past. ' The first declaration of war against the pro- . I posal to celebrate ; the. : centennial, •anniversary of American independence by an industrial exposition in this city has been made by Con gressman Cleveland, of New Jersey. This gentleman premised that he would oppose the plan of undertaking the enterprise in Philadel phia, and - would favor the seleetion of New York for the purpose. As Mr. Cleveland is a New Jersey Democrat, we are not surprised that he should be Vg-headed and obstinate in any matter, or that he should desire in this penicillin . case to labor in behalf of a Demo cratic city which, as it lies just across the river from his district, doubtless contributed, and will contribute, money and men to carry elec tions in Mr. Orestes Cleveland's favor. But Cleveland is only the first of a great 'limber. of 4.!ong ressn en from, the 'l'44 and North who will oppose most earnestly the ellen to secure this Expoeitiou for Philadelphia. New York, of, course, wants to have it, and will 'strive 'despe rately to get it., Xhe ;poe4c' propriety 'of a eelebration,of the anniversary in this city by the people of ►.he whole_ country Will heve no weight with the representatives of that city and State ; and it is not worth while to iirgue the 'mint with them. We are glad to believe that a majority of the Congressional Commit tee to which this matter has been referred are favrn•aiile to Philadelphia.; and it is thought that a majority can be secured, also, when the subject comes up before Congress. But if by any trickery or obstinacy Congress should re- terse to heed our wishes in this thatter,it will de volve upon our citizens to take the responsibility of arranging the exposition without outside assistance. There are pluck, enterprise and wealth enough In this city to get up such a celebration of this anniversary as will be worthy of the occasion and creditable to the city. We can contribute a larger variety of domestic fabrics to an industrial exposition than any other half doien cities in the country ; and if our citizens refuse to contribute to a subsidized New York show, it will be scanty and valueless We ought to press upon Con gress the justice of helping in this matter, and make every eitert to have a national character given to the enterprise ; but if this falls, let us manage the business ourselves and have a cele bration which will assure the country and the world that Philadelphia is not asleep yet.

MISSINSI PPI. Terrible •Railroad Accident Near O. throats, Feb. fearful railroad acci dent occurred about - two miles south of this place yesterday afternoon. It appears that a trestle-bridge gave way and precipitated the entire train down a precipice of fifty feet. The train 'consisted of an engine, tender, one freight. car, one express and four passenger cam. The latter contained about ono hun dred passengers, seven of whom were killed and gaud thirty injured in various ways. The train was just ahead of a lung excursion train with about 1,000 passengers from the North on their way to New Orleans to. attend the NuAII Gras festivals. Fortu nately, the latter stopped in time to save It from . destruction. The mail train would not Lave gone ahead had not the excursion train been detained some twenty minutes at Humboldt. This little delay saved a regiment of lives, probably. The wounded by the accident have been brought to this city, and surgeons are arriving from the surround ing country to attend them. Our citizens will do everything in their power to make them AA comfortable as possible. The names of those killed and wounded will be telegraphed this afternoon. The engineer, fireman, and ex press agent were killed. The other four killed were passengers—a lady, two gentlemen, and a lad. FROM THE WEST. Hy the Atuerifan Preset Atmaxiattion.l 01110.

STOREY'S STORY.—" M y wife called at the Times office about 5 o'clock yesterday af ternoon, and we started for' my residence in Wabash avenue. When near Peck court I saw a,man and woman go around the corner and approach a carriage which was standing in front of a house, two or three doors from mine. When opposite the carriage, .a man whom I suppose is Mr. Henderson, stepped up in front of me and said, •le this Mr. Storey?' 1 replied, Yes, sir.' He then stepped back, and a woman approached, with a small whip in her hand; she struck me, I think, on the shoulders; I did not feel the blow, as 1 had my overcoat on. I concluded that it was the intention to have me whipped by a wo man, and to avoid it I caught the woman by the throat and took the whip from her. " Henderson then came up and struck me on the forehead with the butt end of a large cowhide. I took it away from him, when he drew his revolver. He retreated some distance, when two other mengrabbed me from behind and pulled my hair. Quite a crowd collected by this time, and Mr. Alexander and several other gentlemen put Henderson and two of the women. Lydia Thompson and Pauline Markham, I believe, into a hack, and they were taken to the Armory by a policeman. The last two men who assaulted me got into another carriage and drove oft:" • THE BORDER WAR DAMAGES SWINDLE. 'Ak Veteran Objects. to ralins' " Cowards.'

The number of Catholics represented by the liberal prelates is contrasted with the number in the small sees which give the Ultratnefitanes a title, and grave conclusions are drawn. But, in truth, these. writers persist in treating Roman Catholicism from the Protestant standpoint, and because rush and such results would ensue amongst the Reformed churches. as sume it will be so iu Papacy. This does not follow at all. The history of the Papal Church tends to show that when certain limits are reached, opposition is silenced. What they are allowed to do. they will do. but discipline is paramount. It' the principles of the detested syllabi's even are proclaimed, it is to be doubted if the secession would be considera ble. The American bishops would return to a country where every one of these principles is put under foot, and would say little about them. These doctrines are for the armory not for the ordinary civil life. At the same time, the effect of tbe Council will be to extend the indifference of the laity in Europe, and to confirm the skepticism of the uneeclesiastical part of the populations in Catholic countries. Of the Pope there, is a funny theory, to the effect that his fondness for making new dogmas is a hobby. Other Popes, it is ob served, have also had their hobbies. Some wished to make their families great and rich ; some, like Sextus V., were great builders, or, like Leo X„ patrons of literature and art •, some had a taste for war, like Julius II.; and others, like Benedict XIV., wrote learned works and issued long and numerous bulls bristling with quotations, hut none of them took to the manufacture of dogmas.

' The Pope and Napoleon: The Timee has reason to believe that there have been of late frequent communicationif between the Court of the Tuileries and that of the Vatican, far fiom favorable •to Papal pretensions. The Papal Government has been clearly informed that, whatever rever ence France May feel for the spiritual au thority of the Holy see, she cannot, as a con stitutional country, entertain any sympathy wllli the narrow system of absolutism upon which the temporal power is conducted. The Pope Is strongly urged to go back to his own schemes ,of 1847, which announced the secularization of .the Administration, mu nicipai institutions, popular representation in a Consulta, Council or Chamber, a free Press, and the establishment of a civil guard. It has been further signified to his Holiness, that, in ,volunteering these suggestions, the Imperial Government does not in the least intend to make, the continuance of the French troops in the Roman Mates Conditional upon the Pope's compliance with its friendly advice, as the recall of those troops is with the Emperor's Government a settled purpose. 7 PER CENT.

The Trial or Lydia Thompsen.—Thie Nen • teuce• IPasmed." Cnicsco, Felt. I%.—There was an immetiss crowd in and about the Police Court this morning to learn the details of the trial of Miss Lydia Thompson, Miss Pauline Mark ham, Mr. Beckett and Mr. Henderson, charged with assaulting Mr, W. P. Storey, editor of the Doily Thiya. The accused persons were placed in the pri soners' box. Mr. Storey was sent for. When he entered he was very pale and nervous. His left cheek bore a red scar, 'made by the whip with which the fair defendant struck him the 'other night. The Crowd hlssedlim as be took the stand to give his testimony, which con tained the facts' of the assault already pub lished. Judge Summerfield then passed sen tence. . Helined Miss Lydia Thompson; MiSs Pauline Markham and Mr, Alexander Hen= derson $lOO each for a breach of the peace, and F. , ,210 • each for making an assault upon a citizen. Miss Lydia Thompson took out her port ronnaie and paid the whole amount of the tines, when the Judge discharged the whole party,and they hurried of to perform at the matinee this afternoon. As they passed out of the Court-room into the street the crowd cheered them lustily, and an attempt was made by a number of fancy men to un harness the horses from Lydia's coupe, so that they could have the honor of drawing her to the theatre in triumph. Mr. Storey immediately obtained a bench warrant for the arrest of the whole party un der the statute charging them with rioting and inciting to riot, and they will be tried again this afternoon,as soon as they come off of the stage. This will break up the matinee performance, in all probability. The crowd at the Opera House is very large, and the excite ment is intense. It is feared that the re-arrest will lead to a terrible riot. FROM THE EAST. [By the American Press Aseaciationj RIM YORK. Weekly Statement of the New Teak €et ton Market.

THE COURTS The Sehoeppe Cure. SUPREME COURT— 'Justices Read, Agnew, Sbarswood and -Williams. This morning.3lr. George Northrop, coun sel for Dr. Sehoeppe, inquired of the Court what disposition bad been made of his appli cation for a rehearing of the case under the recent act of Assembly allowing the facto to be reviewed by the Court. Justice Read said that he did not notice a first the form of the application, and did no know then that it was intended to be an . ap plication on Dr. Schoeppe's case. In looking at the act of Assembly he did not think the last clause could apply to this case as before the Court. The judgment had bien affirmed anti the record remitted before the bill was passed by the Legislature. The case could onl,y.come before the Court under the preced ing sections of the Act. Mr. Northrop said be was not aware, at the time he . made the application, what was the condition of the record, hut be was of opinion now that he would be regnired , to take out a new writ of error. He would consult with the Attorney-General upon the subject. The City Trust Bill.

A case was heard this morning upon the ap plication of Mr. Pleish, the. owner of certain shares of stock in a bank, to restrain the Au ditor-General from collecting the tax upon stock, imposed by the act of December 22d, 18139. The question in the case is as to the right of the Legislature to impose a tar greater than threi! mins upon bank stock; the act Of Con gress. allowing State taxation declaring that it should "not he at a greater rate than is as sessed on other moneyd capital s in the hands of the individual citizens of the State."
