Friday. March 4,1870.
THE PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
It is evident that the active little knot of
politicians and others interested in the Penn
Square job are nearer to the ear of the City
Fathers in Common Council than are , the
business people of Philadelphia or the sugges
tions of economy and common sense. While
Select Council 'has steadily and properly sus
tained the action of the Building Commission,
Cklmuton Council has refused all co-operation,
and there is great danger that our public build
ings will share the fate of the House of Cor
rection, under the pressure of a small but un
scrupulous knot of people, whose private in
terests may be promoted by the misapptopria-
lion of the Penn Squares to a purpose
for which they are entirely unfitted.
To these people the indefinite in
crease of expense, and the incalculable in
convenience inflicted upon the lawyers and
the general business men of Philadelphia, are
of no consequence whatever. The wildest
absurdities are talked, both in and. out of,
Couneils, about the "desecration of Indepen
dence Square," and while these reckless 'talkers
and writers laugh in their own sleeves at the
•gnllibility of people who swallow their absur
dities, they do not hesitate to play upon the
patriotic instincts of Philadelphia, although
they know that they are doing so by a delibe- ,
irate resort to the purest fictions. Mr. Barlow,
for instance, inveighed with great eloquence,
yesterday, in Select Council, against those who
would pull down the sacred trees on the sacred
soil of sacred Independence Common, "which
have taken a century to grow." Now when
people who take no trouble to inform them
selves of the' facts read this sort of thing,
many of them believe it. They believe that
the Building Commission proposes to invade
some sacred grove, beneath which Hancock
and Franklin and Morris and Washington him
self were wont to stray, communing together
concerning the things of the Revolution.
They fancy that these trees have listened to
the first breathings of that storm which cleared
American- skies of the clouds and fogs of
British oppression. They invest them with a
solemn holiness, and wonder that Police Com
mittees of the nineteenth century should ever
have ventured to profane them with the touch
of - such vulgar things as telegraph wires, or
that English swallows should have been fur
nished with public lodgings among their revered
branches.
It reminds us of a little story." Once
upon a time, a hard-shell Baptist preaeher, in
the far Southwest, was preaching, in another,
brother's pulpit, about Noah. He was a little
.onfused in his mind concerning biblical his
tory, and when he remarked: "My brethren I
when Abraham entered into the ark,"—his
'reverend brother pulled his coat-tail and
whispered : " Abraham warn't thar !" He was
not to be contradicted, however, and he re
peated his remark, with the same result. This
little contest went on for awhile, the one
asserting and the other denying that Abraham
was in the ark. At last the preacher con
sented to compromise, which he did by. saying :
'"Wa'al, when Abraham war thar,—or than
about !
So we remark to Mr. Barlow and ,the ima
ginative people whom he represents, "Abra
ham warn't Char!". There is a very sacred
spot " thereabouts," and the purpose of the
Building Commission is, to redeem that spot
from its present common uses, and modern
and incongruous appendages, and restore it to
its own individuality, that it may be sacredly
preserved as the Cradle of American Liberty
forever. But Mr. Barlow's trees, like Abra. :
ham, " warn't thar." There were some fine
trees planted in Independence Square, about a
doeen years after the Revolution, which grew
to considerable size about the time that
our. Revolutionary fathers were all dead
and buried. Beneath these trees was
established, as the historian tells us, the haunt
• of all the idle men and dissolute women of
Philadelphia, and the place became anything
but sacred. it is not necessary to, go into the
detailed history of Independence Square in
those days ; suffice it to say that it became
something not very unike what some of our
other public squares have been within the re
collection of our youngest readers. Then Mr.
Barlow's sacred trees became Infested with
caterpillars and were pronounced a public
nuisance, so that sacrilegious axes were laid at
their roots, and they were ruthlessly chopped
down. The present tall Abrahams of the
forest " warn% thar" at all. They are youths
of the present century. They have no
_Revolutionary pedigree whatever. They
were neither "than" nor " thareabouts." The
'-whole of this fine talking and writing about
the sacred trees and the sacred soil of Indepen
dence' Cominon, and palsying the hands and
insuring the lives of the Building Commission
ers, is' the purest sentimental bosh, and known
to be so, by most of those who get it off upon
the people. It betrayed its true character a
little, yesterday, when Common Council voted
down Washington Square and Franklin
Square, neither of which puts in any claim as
sacred soil, and insisted upon Penn Square.
The "job " isset up for Penn Square. The more
neatly the public buildings can be made,
the better for those who have
an eye to fat jobs. Upon the Penn Squares,
the,buildings would of course cost far more
at any other site that has been mentioned,
for the simple season that a number of separate
buildings would have to he erected. So much
the better for 'Contractors and the friends of
eontractors. This is not the object of all those
who are working so industriously in favor of
Penn Square. Some of them would scorn to
touch the, pickings and steatings of any job.
But.some of them have little properties around
Xenn Square, widen they desire to advance
in4alue. Some of them are deeply interested
ins bank whose business might be enlarged.

in Philadelphia, and we must now wait for the

THE POPE AN TIE,
W CATHOLIC
P.
The scheme for the promulgation of 'the
dogma of Papal infallibility is probably finally
defeated ; and as the real abject of the -convo
cation of the present Council was, after all, the
establishment of this principle, the enterprise
may be regarded as an entire failure ) which it
were better to admit practically by dissolution
of the ,Council. Out cable -despatches yester
day informed us that the French foreign min
ister has issued an official protest against the
affirmation of the degina of 'infallibility, in
which he declares that compliance of -the
Council with the wishes of the Pope in this
respect will cbmpel the French , govern
,wen to withdraw its troops from
Rome. ' It is known also that three
other great Catholic powers, Spain, Aus
tria and Portugal likewise have expressed their
strong disapproval of the. infallibility ~project,
and have protested against its . endorsement.
Ardently. as. the Pope desires the success of his
scheme; it seems hardly possible that he will
insist Upon it in the face orthisopposition ; and
if be does, -it is not likely that a majority of the
prelatesin the Council will be ready to sup
pert him in his blind folly. There was a time
Roman council could issue a decree
and scare the obediehce not only of kings and
ereperors,but of the people of the whole Chris
tian .world,without an effort. Fortunately that
day has passed forever; the most bigoted na
tions have thrown off the yoke of their allegi
ance to . floree, and havemanifesteddeterthina
tion to rule themselves according to their
own laws, to permit religious liberty. and
to decide ' for - "'themselves upon
queStions of faith. The last links in the chain
were broken when Austria repudiated the
concordat, and Spain admitted the Bible and
Protestant worship. The official organ of the
Pope in Rome, dismissing the probability of
this very action on the part of Catholic nations,
asserted that the Council would not be gov
erned by auy expressions of dissatisfaction
from the great powers. It 'would publish its
decrees, and dissolve from allegiance to their
sovereigns all eatholiesubjects who were called
upon to choose between their religious and
secular masters. But this was bold.talk, and
nothing mom.' Unless the Pope is mad he dare
not refuse to heed the threats of the Catholic
nations of Europe,and persist in a design Which
will place him in a position antagonistic
to them. That temporal power by which he'
sets as much store ae by his infallibility, de
pends upon the active support of the French
government. It would have gone to 'pieces
two years ago, when Garibaldi and the Italians
moved en Rome, if Napoleon, in violation of
the September treaty, had not sent an army to
defend the Pope's rights; It will be destroyed.
now, if that army is withdrawn, and the Papal
territory is left unprotected save by its own in
efficient troops. Retention of this power
is worth more to the , Pope than tne
assumption of an attribute, which, under exist
ing circumstances, can only be theoretical—for
any practical application of his infallibility will
be impossible. The Bishops, at any rate, will
be likely to take this view of the matter, and
to treat it with good sense and an earnest de
sire to refrain from hurting the Church. It
will be entirely apparent to the
wisest of them, that any legislation
which would place all the Catholic powers in
Europe in an attitude, of -hostility to the Pope,
would inflict such injury upon the Church
that all the decrees of all the Councils ever
held could not afford compensation for it.
With a ministry in France pledged to an in
'crease of liberty, and ready to withdraw from
the Pope the support of the government ; with
Spain struggling towards pure Republicanism;
with Austria again ready to assert her religious
independence by rejecting the authority of the
Pope and Council, and with the spirit of liberty
and reform abroad in the world; active and
aggressive, it will be madness- to fetter the-
Church with new and offensive, theories which
insult the intelligence and provoke the
ridieule of enlightened men. We are not
sure that adoption of such a course will not
prove the first step in the downward path of
this great organization. Thil Council is met
iu the very crisis of the Church's history. It
way choose whether it will adapt the theories
of the Church to the higher needs of its dis
ciples and to the advancement and liberalism
of the age ; or whether it will drag it back into
the darkness and bury it beneath a heap of su
perstitions and impossible dogmas. Defeat of
the infallibility scheme will fill the heart of the
Pope with misery ; but it will be better for his
fame and for the welfare of the Church of
which he is the head, that the whole scheme
should be abandoned rather than the Church
should make enemies of its friends, and plant
itself in the pathway of that spirit of reform
which is carrying the nations of the whole
earth with it in its forward course.

The Philadelphia, papers that are in vassal
age to the New York. Associated Pressare very
much annoyed at the success of the American
Press Association, which furnishes its papers
with news that is not given by their New York
Masters. The Inquirer tries to throw discredit
•priOn the important despatch from Paris, in
yesterday's BULLETIN' concerning Count
Darn's:note on Papal Infallibility . ; and because
a rumor that such a note was written had ap
peared in a French provincial paper, it pretends
that the despatch was Manufactured. But the
.Inquirer will find that Count Darn's note was,
as the despatch said, only promulgated in Paris
yesterday. Besides it gives certain features of
the note that were net hinted at in the Angers
paper, which did not mention the , infallibility
dogma, nor the syllabus of 1864, nor the
threat to withdraw the French -troops from •
Rome, which are, after all, the really important
putts of the Minister's note. • Evidently the
Inquirer's wits want lubricating, or it would
not show its " enterprise" in a slavish depen
dence upon the New York morning papers for
its news. •

THE COAL TRADE.
Interesting Information.
The Mauch ()Mink Coat Gazette of yesterday
sayB :
There was transported last week over both
railroads 64,808 17 tons against 45,637 14 tons
the corresponding week last year—an increase
of 1.9,171 . 03 tons. Of this, 5,133 01 Conk were
delivered to the Lackawanna and BIOOML4-
burg Railroad for shipment north, and 59,-
675 16 tons came south for delivery along the
line and at tidewater. Our reports showa de
crease of 6,714 08 toms from the tonnage of tlie
previous week. •
THE MARKET
We think prices touched bottom in the
Scranton sale of last week, when coal ruled
lower than at any previous sale, and, as near
as we can learn. was sold for smaller figures
than were ever before known in New York.'
The camel's back yielded beneath the weight
of the last feather, and we doubt whether, had
hroduction continued, any business could
ave been done during the present month.
Every one seems to have felt this, and hence
the suspension which has been impending for
several weeks was inaugurated in portions of
the coal region by order of the W. B. A. on
Monday morning last. At this time all the
operations in the Lehigh, except one or two
at Hazleton, and all but the Delaware and
Hudson, Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern, and Pennsylvania companies in the
Wyoming and Lackawanna have stopped.
Schuylkill has not yet turned out. If
the suspension can be extended over the
whole coal region, and all production stopped,
it will accomplish its object ; i. e. the decrease
of the immense supply of coal and the conse
quent recuperation of the market. This was
intimated a short time since when we ex.
pressed a doubt as to the probability of a
hgeneral strike. The whole question hinges
ere. If the Schuylkill and Lackawana regions
disregard the action of the Lehigh and Wyom
ing men, and continue work, the latter
will be obliged to resume; but if the
mandate of the Union is enforced, the strike
can be continued indefinitely. The Lacka
wanna companies triumphed over the basis
last 'spring. and their men are apparently
loath to turn out while their good wages con
tinue under the present brisk trade of that
region. Loud complaint is made against
them by the Union men of this region, and
their action in the premises is awtuted with
anxiety. The position of Schuylkill will
greatly depend upon Lackawanna.
Whether a prolonged and general suspen
sion occurs or not, the market will be eased
and prices must advance. Coal cannot be sold
at current rates at a profit, and operators are
becoming tired of working for nothing. In
view of the prospect of an interruption in
production, dealers are inclined to, hold otlfor
an advance, and we look for better prices.
Coal will certainly be cheaper this year than
it was last, but this winters prices are no cri
terion from which ,to estimate those of the
corning spring and summer. . .

INIDAY March 4.—Whilst the money markets of New
York, Boston and a few other large cities are gradually
growing active with the opening of the spring month,
in our city we fail to see mach change for the better.
Money moves sluggishly, and rates are easy at yester
day's figures. There is some borrowing in the agricul
tural districts, usual at this period, but the getioAil de
mand is far below the average for the first week of
March.
'There was a good deal of excitement this morning at
the news that gold opened with sales at 113A', and cub
eequfntly dropped t 11334. This brought out both
buyers and sellers, en there was quite a lively time
among the brokers in accommodating both classes. At
11 o'clock the premium advanced slightly,but the fluctu
ations were rapid and the market generally downward.
About noon the premium , stood, on Jamison & Co. , a
board, at 11334.
' Government bonds were active, bet there wore mom
spellers then buyers, and prices fell heavily in sympathy
with gold, the decline being from lag per cent- through
the list.
Thorn was only a limited businese at the Rock Board,
• and prim phew little change. State Loans sold at 107 X
forth() sixes, third series. Pity Sixes were active and
prices strong, butes of the old bonds at 100, and of the
, new at 101)4. Lehigh Gold Loan wad taken at 00.%1—a de
cline of Ai.
Reading Railroad was dull ; sales at 483tia48,56. Sales
of Penntylvania Railroad at Mk% ; Camden and Amboy
Railroad at )1674a116; I,llriehiltßallrointat 614, and Le

The balance of the llit was neglected; and ',ales were

To tit% on T, March 3.—The fickleness of affair. In Wall
-;slgre t was apt)) illorititerti day in another nuldsn
change in the speculative feeling. This miming the
gold market promised to he steady and monotononni fur
a time at lea.t, under the abatement of Speculative one,
rations, while stocks gave inclination of continuing
strong ti.net buoyant. But W new element of disturb
ance nas esniminth sled by a modification of the Tree
silty regulations concerning the sales of Government
In vivre. and gold declined to
The emendinent referred to Is a notice from the as
sistant Treasurer that in future •••the government re
serves the right to accept more or Uwe of bide for gold
or offers of bonds than th, amount advertised for."
This change in the regulations se the epee ulatora com
pletely at sea A 4 to what might be the result in future
dealings based Upoll the government programme. Of
enures no guarantee is now afforded that the government
will sell only Ova millions this month. while if the
hide ate unsiatisfactory. -no .gold may be cold.
The pries at the opening was DV:, bat ft soon
declined to 115. Here better ithetationa for five-twenties
were reported from Europe, while from Washington
calve the official announcement of the Bureau of Statis
tic& that during the brat six month. of the present fiscal
year our imports have exceeded our exports by lean titan
1 32A0-000. Now.sie the figures upon which this report
is based consider only the imports and exports of titer
chandise% and *Dec* and none account is taken of forty
or fifty millions of our government bonds and railway
securities shipped to Europe during the sumo period,
it became evulent to the Gold Room that gold
ennld not for a good w hile at least be in demand for
shipment abroad. Indeed. if Is° regard our bond, and
railway securities in the light of merchandise—and they .
serve that purpose far the preseut—the balance of trade
is betas fly In our fat or, and grad gy=lit 10 cow , this was
from Enrere before sixty days. This view of tbe situa
tion le further confirmed by the condition of the sterling
mark et.which has teen extremely dull for several weeks
and has. steadily declined in rate. until the banker.
cannot sell bills except at figures which must compete
with the !imitations for the large supply of bills
drawn against the shiamenta of cotton, produce and
bonds. To-day the leading bankers reduced their rates
for sixty days' bills to 83854, which was the nominal
quotation. while good drawers were selling at 11.654.
/Lenin the speculators and the public have bought
heavily at 115 and 116. and the street. in the parlance of
speculation. was " long" of gold, paying yaks as high
as five per cent. for carrying, when government bonds.
which are, of cenrse. inferior to gold us a security,
were being carried for three to four percent. It is the
experience of street that is nuarthatine • hull "
market cannot maintain itself. because all holders
desire to sell : henre the gold market was sensitively
sureentilde to a decline, and gave way tinder the de
pressing influences above reccinted. In doing so it in
repeating its history of a few days Rine°, when gold was
120. Eve r)body then bought and loaded up because it
was cheap. W hen the price halted at 116 everybody
again went" long "of gold with a similar result. The
operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were-31S follows:
Gold cleared, $51,708P00 ; gold balances, 41.420429:
currency bislances. 81,677.8341. The rate for carrying
ranged from four to five per cent.llla to Clearing House
time. In the afternoon it declined to three per cent.
with exceptional transact lona at" flat" for borrowing.

CONDITION OF THE INDIANS
Great Discontent Amongst Them
Fears of Ex.tensive Hostilities
Something Must. be Done to Remedy the
(Special Despatch to the Phila. Evening Bulletin.)
The Condition or the Indians.
u.TON, March 4.—Hon. B.S. Parker,
Commissioner of Indian Affairs, has received
the following letter from General D. S. Stan
ley, commanding at Fort • Sully. It may be
added that the authorities here fear extensive
Indian hostilities, unless something is speedily
done to remove the causes of complaint
on the part of the ,Indians. General
Stanley says:
I desire to lay before you some in
formation concerning the condition
and wishes of the Sioux at Cheyenne and
Grand• River agencies, in accordance with the
request of the principal chiefs, who, from
time to time,come to rue withtheir complaints
and hopes. It is useless for me to tell these
Indians that they ought to go• to their agent.
They know I am the ranking military officer
hero, and they insist that I must write to their
great father. As to - the condition and conduct
of the Sioux at the two agencies referred
to, I see no reason to complain, excepting
that the young men have killed a few beef
cattle belonging to the contractor, and all the
friendly Sioux persist in making raids on the
Rees and Uros Ventres. As to their com
plaints, they all arise from their understanding
of the treaty at Fort Rice. As you are aware.
an Indian never forgets anything that is
promised him, nor: can he understand why
circumstances should interfere with the ful
' iillment of the promise. Now it is true that
the Peace Commission at Fort Rice pictured
to the Indians a pretty liberal view
of their improved condition under the
treaty, and the Indians come to me and
say : " Where ,are those houses you
were going to build? Where are the cows.
the sheep, the pigs, mac.? But, above all,
where are the guns and ammunition we were
to have received ?" The planting of corn, also
recommended to them, and which we pro
mised to assist them in, bas t as you are aware,
as yet made little progress. All the Indians
whom we are accustomed to call friendly are
very anxious to farm. Last year, owing to
the want of laborers and oxen, very little
was done; and while upon this subject I
would recommend that a strong effort be
made, this spring; to get as much
land broken as possible, to give the Indians a
start in planting; and whilst recommending,
would respectfully ativise that a liberal supply
of rifles and ammunition be furnished to the
friendly Indians this summer. I have no fear
nor any belief that, under any reasonable
treatment, these Indians would ever use these
guns against the whites. Since the council at
Fort Rice, the friendly Indians have used all
the means they could to induce the hostile
Sioux to come in and bury the hatchet Many
of them have given away all their
horses and goods to the hostile, in trying
to conciliate them, and now the friendly
cluefs tell me they have given the matter up ;
that they can do nothing with. their wild re
lations, and th,st all they desire is to keep
their bands together, to learn to farm, and to
keep away from the hostile Sioux entirely.
To encourage these friendly Sioux in every
possible way is. of course, very important.
They amount to eight or ten thousand souls,
and if the hostile Sioux must finally be
put. down by force of arms, which
appears inevitable, the value of keeping the
friendly ones quiet cannot be over-estimated.
Of course the proSpect of a crop the flint year
upon sod land is not good; but it twenty or
thirty teams could be employed to break land
this spring, the Indians would raise some
corn, and the prospect for next year would
greatly encourage them.
