CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.
In the House of RepresentatiVes at Wash
ington,'yesterday, Mr. Morrell, ortkis State,
introduced a bill to provide for holding agrand
National Exposition of Arts, MatmWtnres
and the Products of Mines, in Philadelphia, An
the •year 1876, as part of a celebration of the\
one hundredth anniversary of American Inde
pendence. The bill was read anffreferred, and
now we must waitto see how it will be treated
by Congress.
There ought not to be a particle of difference
of opinion concerning Philadelphia as the best
place for holding such an exhibition as that
proposed. The single fact that Independence
was here agreed upon and proclaimed to the
world, ought to be sufficient to settle the point,
oven if Philadelphia were an unimportant
town. But St is the second city in size on the
*continent, and. the chief manufacturing city.
It will have, in 1876, a population of a million
and a quarter of inhabitants, and, the State of
which it is the metropolis will have at least six
millions—or twice as many as the whole coun
try at the time of the Revolution. Its railroad
and water communications with the rest of the
Union are 'equal to those of any place that
could be selected ; and, if the votes of all the
people.could be taken on the subject; there
would be an overwhelming majority in favor
of Philadelphia.
There are peculiar features about Philadel
phia which make it better adapted for a great
exhibition than any other city. The number
of its houses is far greater, in proportion to
the population, than those of New York, Balti
more, Washington, or any of the young
Western cities. The street railway system is'
so complete that people can travel in all direc
tions with the utmost ease. The enormous
area - of Fairmount Park will afferil a site for
the buildings that the Exposition may require,
as good as the sites of the London Exhibitions,
or that of the French Exposition in the Champ
cle Mars. The healthfulness of Philadelphia,
which is admitted to be better than that of
otherlarge cities, will also commend it as the
bestplace for the assembling of large masses of
people from.distant parts of the country.
it has been ae nowledged that the Great
Fain-for the Sanitary Commission, held in
Philadelphia in 1864, was the grandest thing of
the hind ever seen in America. This was, in
part, owing to some of the causes we have
alluded to as reasons for holding here the
National Exposition of 1876. But well as the
Philadelphians did in 1864, they would do in
finitely better in 1876, with the sanction and
aid of the Government in the undertaking.
The development of wealth in the city and the
State has been enormous, during the last six
peals, and it will be much greater during the
next six. Our people will have all the advan
tage of studying the organization and manage
ment of the European and other great exhibi
tions that have been held, or that may still be
held before 1876, and they will be able to im
prove on the best of them. So let our Senators
and Representatives push , on the good work
begun by Mr. Morrell, and the grand National
Exhibition in honor of the Centenary of
American Independence in Philadelphia will
be something to astonish and delight all the
nations.
(MIASMA'S MISSION.
General Quesada, the Cuban General, comes
to this country to plead the cause of the rebels
at an unfortunate time. Whatever enthusiasm
was felt by our people for the struggling in
surgents in time past, has lost its fervor, and
the whole matter is regarded with indifference,
excepting by a half dozen newspapers, which
have committed themselves to advocacy of the
Cuban cause, and are bound to be consistent
at any sacrifice, and by a few politicians, who
are in the same unpleasant position. There is
a Conviction that the rebellion is a fizzle ; that
the insurgents, having failed to accomplish a
single important result during the whole of the
long struggle; never will accomplish anything,
unless we are foolish enough to take the war
out of their bands and carry it on ourselves.
Recently large bodies of rebels have come into
the. Spanish lines and surrendered themselves,
convinced of the utter hopelessness of the
struggle; and there are other indications of the
approaching collapse of the whole undertaking.
General Quesada cannot disguise these facts, -
nor can,he pres ent others which will convince
the American people that the Cubans; unable
to make even a decent show of war without
assistance, deserve to have the support and
material aid of a nation which cannot give
such assistance without terrible sacrifice.
Quesada's picture of the' brutality and cruelty
of the Spaniards will not suffice for this pur
poie. We recognize its truth, and we regard
the butcheries committed by the Spanish
troops with horror and disgust.,
But,_. unfortunately, General Quesada's
friends are not guiltless in this
respect., The history of the present war 18
nothing but a catalogue of murders, of which
unoffending men, women and children wore
the 'Tidbits. • Spaniards and Cubans alike have
pursued the careful policy of avoiding pitched
battles .conducted according to the rules of
civilized warfare, and have indidged , in cow
ardly guerrilla conflicts, in which the assailant
was always the stronger, and in which the pri
soners captured were immediately killed.
There is nothing to admire•in this. Ne matter
bow good the cause, we must despise the Men
who could strive to win for it 'success' by such
atrocious means. The resolution' introduced
to the Senate yesterday by Mr. Vomeroy, de
claring that the conduct of the Spaniards
in this ' respect deserved . the re
probation of the civilized world
expressed the popular sentiment clearlyk
bfit it 'should have denounced with equal Se
verity the equal barbarity of the Cubans. If
She resolution is passed in its present shape we
shall be guilty of unpardonable partiality and
*factual endorsement of assassination because
it is perpetrated in the name of Liberty. Be
fore any action is taken by Congress which will
commit us even to moral support of the Cuban
cause, we bad better wait until the rebels show
,THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN-PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1870.
that they are worthy of the indepen trace they
long for, and are ready to light for it like men.
We liave no , prior of.this now;; but rather evi
dence of their utter unirorthinees and incapa
city for civilized government.
mita 'GOLD GAMBLERS.
A paper dollar of United States money is
worth now about ninety cents in gold, or
about ninety-two cents in silver. The differ
ence of eight cents in a hundred, between our
postal currency and the silver coin, is so small,
that in the comprehension of simple-minded
citizens,unacquainted with the tricks and mys
teries of Wall street, it might be overcome
almost immediately. The decline in the pre
mium in gold 'from 17, which ft was on the
Ist of January, to 10, has been gradual, and 1'
has brought with it no trouble except to specu
-lators and gamblers. This class of people are
eU.,avoring to check the decline, and gam
blingAn gold is carried on as recklessly when
the pMmium is down, as it was when
it was in* thirty or forty. The people, for
whose convence the metallic and paper
currency was cmated, are at the mercy of the
few hundreds of desperate men- that figure in
the New York gold Mom. Honest merchants
are adapting themsell - to the changed and
still changing condition o pings, by marking
f \t\g
down the prices of their Dods. But the
simply speculative and tilitio gold transac
tions in New York, amounting seventy or
eighty millions of dollars a day, pup a
feverish excitement, the evil effects o which
are suffered by the people at large. Ca of
Congress; acting in harmony with the Treas A.
authorities, devise some means by which this
gambling may be checked? The decline in
gold would then go on steadily and resumption
would come soon enough, and without any
serious effects among the masses.
Speaker Strang administered a wholesoine
lesson to the members of the House of Repre
senatives at Harrisburg; yesterday, on the sys
tem of ,4 rushing " business through the Legis
lature, which has lately prevailed. The people
of Philadelphia have suffered from this more
than those of any other part of the State, and
it is time that they raised their voices against
it. A fine example of this was given on Tues
day, when Mr, Elisha W. Davis suceeeded in
rushing mu LurouguTTuu .4.IJUDG w in-cvvut7
the people of Philadelphia from saying whether
they would' like to erect their public buildings
on Independence Square.
As we expected would be the case, Col.
Geo. F. McFarland, Superintendent of the Sol
diers' Orphans' Schools of Pennsylvania, has
been entirely exonerated from the charges, or
rather insinuations, made against him lately in
the Legislature. Senator Graham, from the
Committee appointed on the subject, yesterday
made a report showing that there was not a
particle of evidence against him. The excellent
management of the Soldiers' Orphans' Schools
will, therrefore, goon under Col. McFarland,
without interruption.

Company., to the New Jersey Legislature, pub
lished in yesterday's BULLETIN, the name of
Charles Gibbons, Esq., was accidentally - omit,

MUSICAL.
"Oberon" at the Academy.
—Weber's opera, Oberon, was sung for the
first time in America, at the Academy of
Music, last night, by the Parepa-Rosa Com
pany. The production of this opera was a
praiseworthy undertaking; and we are
pleased to record that the performance was,
in a great measure, satisfactory. Upon the
first night it was inevitable that there should
be one deficiency ; the singers were new in
their parts, they were anxious for the success
of the experiment, and they were not at all
sure of the lively sympathy of' the audience.
Consequently the performance, although,
evenly good, lacked the spirit and dash and
easy grace, which come only with practice
and familiarity, and which are necessary to
touch the hearts of the listeners. The audience
last night was provokingly unenthusiastic,
Sometimes it was excited to warm demonstra
tion, but generally it seemed to share the frigi
dity of the performers and to abstain from any
exhibition of feeling. To those who remem
bered the story of the first production of the
opera in London in 1826, when Weber himself
led the orchestra, and the audience that filled
Covent Garden Theatre to the roof went mad
over the performance, and gave an encore to
every strain or , the music, the contrast afforded
by the coldnes of the audience last night was
very marked. But the time has changed, and
the people with it. We have bad many better
operas since then, and the beautiful music of
this one has lost its novelty and some of its
freshness. The English world then was in a
frenzy of enthusiasm over Der Freysclnaz,
- and was ready to welcome, without criticism,
any work by the same composer. At'this dis
tant peribd we can compare the two imparL
tially, and give the palm to the earlier work ;
while we perceive in Oberon, with all its
beauties, the deficiencies which are the results
of the physical exhaustion of the author, and
of the circumstances which compelled him to
write this work for bread,—which forced him
to violate his artistic instincts in an effort to
adapt his work to the Market for which he
wrote it.
But with all its shortcomings, Oberon de
served a wihriner reception than it had last
evening. When the singers are more aNase,
we doubt not the audiences will be kin)ler•
The opera ought to be popular. The subject
is picturesque and attractive. It affords op
portunity for elaborately beautiful scenic
effects, which were improved last evening in
a manner that should have satisfied the most
fastidious audience. The enchanting grace of
fairyland, in this opera, combines with the
luxurious sensuousness of Oriental life to form
a series of delightful pictures; and
. the lovely
music mingles the elfishness of the one with
the rich beauty of the other with , exquisite
effect. The overture, apart from its reference
to the theme of the opera, is a masterpiece.'
It is full of poetry, fire, life, and delicious har
monic effects. More than this, it bears an in
timate relation to the subject. It suggests the
succeeding story, and gives glimpses of the
fat ryscenes, the Eastern magnifieence,the deeds
of chivalry, and the tender love episodes Which
are to come. This part of the performance
was wholly good. The orchestra, under Mr•
Rosa's direction, played • the overture
superbly'. The eicquisite fairy chorus with
which the opera bugins also was sung in a
Most admiraide mariner, the difficult part of
" Yuck" being sustained by Miss Warden, a
young lady who" possesses very considerable
ability,. and Who comprehended niCely the
light and airy character of the "tricksy
spirit." Madame Rosa appeared as "
and sang with her customary elegance. TIM
:,..i•:,' , ..''''."± . : . •.. , , , , ,
brilliant air in the first acct," Haste Gallant
Knight," wag given gracefully, brit without a
particle of the passion 'which :belongs to it,
and without the spirit which was infused into
the succeeding joyous air, " Yes, my lord, my
joy." This was sung with fervid earnest
ness, and was only surpassed by the won
derful air to which it leads—the "Oh,
my wild exulting soul" which closes the finale
of the first act, and in which Pampa's splendid
voice rang high above the grotesquely beauti
ful chorus upon which the melody, is sustained-
In the lively quartette, also, " O'er the dark
blue waters," Madame Rosa sang delightfully.
This is the crowning beauty of the opera, and
it was given in such a. charming manner that
the'audience would have rewarded the singers
with an encore if an opportunity had been af
forded. Madame Rosa sang the weird mer
maids song in the third act, but in the effort to
give the effect of distance, the vocal music was
spoiled. The singer was completely smothered
by the orchestra, and thus one of the most ex
quisite melodies in the opera was altogether
lost.
Mrs. Seguin appeared as "Fatima," and
gave a very excellent personation. It fell to
her lot to sing the plaintive song, "A. Lonely
Arab Maid," and the air, " Araby, dear
Araby "—both filled with sweetness and ten
der pathos; Mrs. Seguin sang them in a de
lightful manner, and won hearty applause; as
she did also in the sparkling music of the
duet, " On the Banks of Sweet Garonne." Mr.
Castle as "Huon " did net fulfil the measure
of our expectation. His best opportunity was
in thenhivalria air, " Oh, lis a Glorious Sight,'-
in the first not; but Mr. Castle . sang the ex
hilarating music with very little spirit, and
with such slight vocal effort that those per
sons who were unfamiliar with its beauties
could not perceive them. Mr. Lawrence's
Sherasmin" was very good. The music was
sn i ! carefully, and in excellent taste ; but, as
tuna his management of the dialogue was
wretc d. Mr. Lawrencenfakes love like a
savage, d speaks very unlike a Christian.
If Mrs. Se uin's nerves were not strong, She
would have b en frightened whenever this
gentleman stop ed singing delightfully, and
began talking ab inably.
The chorus, the enery, and the appoint
ments were all of the est description, and re
flected great credit upil the management.
The stage manager of e company; Mr.
Harry Jackson, deserves a ry large portion
of the praise for the admire e manner in
which the Opera was mount . The new

,
Mr. Jackson's good taste and earnest fforts

We hope to hear this opera again under m re
favorable conditions. lt will not be as van
able an addition to the repertoite Of the Com
pany as The Marriage of Figaro, but, it will
enjoy a degree of popularity, and will always
be a pleasant change from the dull round of
Trovatore, Traviata, and Norma, to which we
have been chained by other companies.

ricultural products, create a prersing%dectiand for the
construction of this road, which affords the beet Reelable
guarantee, for the bondholders, especially as the Hue
runs through the wealthiest and most thickly populated
section of the State,
The road also runs through the rids and growing State
at Minnesota. Reference to the map of the United
States will show that it traverses the most enterprising
and growing portion of the West, and forms one of the
great trunk lines in direct communication with New
York, Chicago and St. Louis, being to the latter city
ninety miles nearer from Northern lowa and all por
tions of the State of Minnesota than by any other road
now built or projected, and also the nearest route front
Central and Southern lowa.
The road is opened for local traffic as raptil'y as con
structed, and thus RECEIVES EARNINGS ON ITS
COMPLETED SECTIONS PREATLY IN EXCESS
OF THE AMOUNT NEEDED TO PAY THE IN
TEREST UPON ITS BONDS BEFORE THE
ROAD IS FINISHED. The buyer of these Bonds is
therefore guaranteed, by a great business already in exist.
ence on the route of the road, as well as by now current
earnings, and has not to risk any of the contingencies
which always attend the opening of roads in a new and
unsettled country.
trilinalted quantity only of these Bonds
are now offered at 95.
After a thorough investigation of the above enter
prise, we recommend these Bonds as a tirst-class Invest
ment,affording absolute safety, and paying an unusually
liberal rate of Interest. All marketable securities at
their full price, free of commission and express charges,
received In payment. Pamphlets mid maps furnished

Nuleldle.-A ass Brun a Pistol and Moots
Misnaelf.
HARRISBURG, March 10,--This morning, a
man named Rohrer, originally' from Lancaster
county, but latterly residing here, entered the
gun store of A. H. Lawser, on Market street,
and asked to look at some pistols. Lawser
handed him a National pistol. Roher asked if
it was a. reliable weapon, and stated that he
Wanted an article that would " shoot to kill
every pop," and requested Lawser to load it,
which was done. Rohrer then asked the
price of the pistol. Lawyer replied $l6.
Rohrer offered 614, and said he wanted
a bolster for it. Lawser proceeded to the.
back part of the store to procure one, when
Rohrer p laced the muzzle of the pistol in his
month and pulled the trigger. The ball passed
through the roof of the mouth and lodged in
the brain, causing almost instant death. The
Coroner held an inquest at once, and the ver
dict of the jury was "deliberate selGdestrue•
tion." Upon examination, Rohrer was found
to be without money, and depression of spirits
probably led to the commission of suicide.

The Canada Press on the Rebellion
Among , the "hew Dominican's."
( Erma the Toronto Telegraph of March 7.)
We should like to know when the. Govern
ment intends to make an earnest and proper
effort to put an end to these difficulties. bo
far as appearances go we are as far from the
end as we were three months ago. Whilethey
are sauabbline with thP'r nonnnentm in Ow
_
Home, and lighting over personal questions,
so old that they have been forgotten, or
'so trifling that the people care nothing abouti
them, a great national matter, in which both
the honor and welfare of the country are at
stake, is left to right itself. The policy that
has been pursued has had this result—it has
made Biel - and his party the actual, and, we
believe, the legal rulers in the Northwest Ter
ritory. Whatever rights and powers the Hud
son Bay Company enjoyed now belong to the
provisional Government by the action of the
people themselves.
t From the Toronto Leader, IVareb 7.)
There is a report frem St. Paul that Captain
Boulton (a member of the Boulton family of
Toronto) and Dr. Schultz attempted an assault
upon Biel's position at Fort Garry; that Boni
ton, finding himself overpowered, surrendered;
that Schultz, with some of his men, escaped,
and that one man. was shot in the melee.
There .is rather a farcical story about Boulton's
trial by court-martial and sentence to be shot,
which needed not the later report that he is
well and being well treated to relieve the
minds of his friends here.
I From the Toronto Globe, !Ward' 7.)
The men of Winnipeg and the other settle
mentki have been without any head to guide
them and without any person to whom they
could look for authority in any course they
might think proper to take. There has been
no duly constituted authority to claim their
obedience, to regulate their actions or to
organize a force when that became necessary.
They have been left to the mercy of their own
ignorance, and it is not altogether surprising
that their •actions have riot been actuated by
ardent patriotism or exceptional wisdom.
Bad the government given them a proper
leader there is little doubt that they would
have turned to him in their perplexity, and
followed him in support of,j that authority
which even their opponents profess to sup
port. each a leader would probably have
rendered the late rising unnecessary ; but be
ing necessary he would have conducted it to a
successful issue, and ended a disturbance,
which now promises to give a great deal of
trouble that should have been avoided.

Tiartumv, March 10,1870.—There is a moderate de
mand for money to-day from business quarters, though
therd is an absence of that activity in general trade
circles which we ate accustomed to see in the second
week of March. The unsettled condition of the gold
market and the doubts concerning a possible reaction.
naturally act as a chock upon trade,- though the• ulti
mate resnit of a permanent decliug in gold will undoubt
edly tend to give a new impetus to every species of en
terprise, if some stability can be given to the market be•
fore the close of the current month.
The rates for loans to. day are not materially changed,
and are favorable as herefoforato borrowers. We quote
on cull at CO per cent., and discounts at Ba 7 per cent. for
iirst•class mercantile acceptances.
The gold market continneit weak, but there Is lees ox.•
citement to-day than for several days past. The opening
isles in New York are quoted' at 111, the lowest point
reached 110%, and the premium about noon stood at
MN.
Government beads are quite dull in this market, lint
prices all show Increased strength, the currency sixes

The Stock market was moderately active, and prices

WED:MI:UT, March 9.—The decline in gold has
wrought so much interest In the public mind that the
precincts of the Gold Room are again the resort of thou
sands of curious persons desirous of witnessing the last
stages of the dying Premium. The scenes attending
this concourse, se well as the general excitement in
financial circlet, are fully depicted elsewhere in our
columns. The technical phraseology of Wall street de
scribes the market with the expression gold feverish
and excited.
The earliest transactions in the precious metal were of
a panic -like character, and the rusk to sell gold was all
the more eager. The opening quotatitn for five-twenties
in London was 91: conveying the impression that all
hope of checking the decline from that quarter was fu
tile. Again it was reported that the Secretary of the
Treasury would accept all the bids submitted to-day.
Under these influences the price, almost as soon as the
board opened,ran down to 1104, which is
the lowest since July, LW. Here. how
.% er, It was reported that Mr. Boutwell
wee understood to have expressed his determina
tion net to sell below a certain figure. At the
came time the frantic brokers of the stock cliques,
N lot viewed with terror the havoc made in the open
ing quotations of the railways, started for the Gold
Seem and began bidding the price up dgain. thereby -
Inducing many of the " shorts " to cover and others
to perchase who thought the turning point hid at
list coat,. the impression being strengthened by the
easy rates for carrying gold, which operation in many
instances was done free of interest. The upward turn
thus communicated was confirmed by the numerous bids
for the Government gold, eighteen in all, for a total of
53,2004.0 , and the price was kept floating at 111a11.1Y.;
until after the receipt of instructions front Washington
to award a million gold to the highest bidders. Here the
market broke again to despite the desperate ef
forts ol the !tuck cliques. an analysis of the bids at the
tub-Trester. ry showing that a spirited demand had been
counterfeited by ournerent proposals at prices
so far below the market as to deprive them of all chance
of acceptance. This lower mange in the price wan main
tained in late dealings, the market becoming dull and
steady, especially as it was reported that eta meeting of
the Cabinet In Washington to-day it was very sensibly
decided not to interfere to batten resumption, but to let
tbet consummation be attained of itself, if such is to be
the end of the present movement. This action smacks
strougly of the conservative and practical mind of Gen.
Grant.
Holders 4,4 gold paid &mato five per cent to have their
balances earnest. Exceptional transactions occurred at
" flat " !or borrowing. The operations of the Gold Ex
change Bank were as follows :
l; old cleared. 860,776,000
(,old balances 2,671,524
Currency balances 2.990,411
The gold sold by the government to-day was awarded
in the !chewing lots at the accompanying prices,
$211.000, 111.10 ; 805,000, 110.60 ; 820,000, 110.76 ; 8.2,000,
11..6236; 8100,00.110.66.
The curly decline in gold led ton presence to soil the
Government list, the 67's. being especia4 active, de
clining at onetime to 10756 : . and reachin Nei, bat
closing steady in the vicinity of 40834.
THE BATTLE OF THE BEASTS—SIGHT BETWEEN WALT,
BTIIF.ET HULLO AND BEARs—IMMENsE EICITEMENT IN
TBE GOLD ROOM CIRCUS—THE BULLS BEATEN BASRA,
BUT NOT D/SCOTRAGED
It ism fortunate circumstance that stringent rules pro

the bulls and hears in the Gold Room circus. Gould the
virtuous countrymen who make periodical visits to see
the elephant and take a near view of 1441 see the Wall

perfectly intelligible to the initiated the howling: of the
hankers. brokers,„ and clerks engaged In gambling for
the precious metal is perfectly bewildering to strangers.
The "bulls" and "bears" have a language of their own,
and act more from the promptings of instinct than of
reason. Therefore those who go to the trouble of getting
tickets of admission to the Gold Room from members of
it, and enter there in the hope of getting a financial
"wrinkle," rarely succeed in getting anything but a pain
in the head. To any one, however, who heard and sur
vived the great Boston concert, who happened to be
brought up in a wall.nlled bedlam, or who was born
deaf, it is a highly interesting menagerie.
Wild canards flying about the town on Tuesday night
presaged a financial storm ilk the morning. It was
Whin) , red that greeithacke had finally succumbed and
sunk beneath the weight of gold thrown on the market,

money market and the intentions of the government,
and Instead of the customary" How d' do," wee heard
on every side the feverish salutation," How's gold?"
The centre of attraction was the Gold Room ; it was the

next hour might bring forth, there was no panic.

frantic efforts of the bears. A roar as of a herd of
buffaloes, dowdy pursued by whooping Bioux ' was the
signal for the attack of the former, and it hoarse growl of

bills. 'After more than an ' , hour's talk, the

The information ofthe leading Tenne<uteeans
here is to the effect that. as the Legislature
adjourned without taking notice of, Governor
Senter's - message in relation to mob violence,
it is expected that he will call upon the
Presiden t for militaryassistance i n suppressing
the disorders, and there seems to be uo doubt
that such a request would be granted, to the
full limits of the resources at the command of
the War Department.
A delegation of colored -nien from the
colored State Convention recently held in
Nashville visited the President, by appoint
ment,. at half-past ten o'clock this morning.
They were accompanied, by the whole Ten
nessee Congressional delegation, with the ex
ception of Hawkins, and were in
troduced to the President by Mr. Maynard,
on behalf of their Congressman. Docter
Young, of Knoxville, Chairman of the colored
delegation, read the memorial of the Conven
tion to the President, and made some state
ments about the deplorable condition of things,
throughout the State, and the utter want of
protection for the lives and property of loyal
men, stating that appeals, had 'been made to
the State authorities without success.
The Fresident said, in reply, that•he would
do all in his power for the relief of the Citi

with the Secretary of War about sending more

PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE.
(Special Despatch to the Pbila. Evening Bulletin:)
HARRISBURG, March 10.
Billingfelt made a report from
the Senate Finance Committee in reference to
tne treasury investigation, transmitting Gen.
letter of his refusal to testify, with
Auditor-General Hartranft's certificate of the
fact that he (Irwin) had squared up his ac
counts, &c. r accompanied by the following re
solution:
Resolved, That the Speaker of the Senate be
directed to issue his warrant to the Sergeant,
at-Arms .commanding him to produce at the
bar of the Senate W. W. Irwin, there to
answer such questions as may b 3 propounded
to him, or show cause why he should not
do so.
Mr. Lowry moved to amend by adding the
following: ,
Resolvfd, That the Committee on Finance
be instructed to extend their inquiries as to
what it cost each of the State Treasurers,si nee
18130, to be elected, and who, if any, they
have paid or promised to pay money; and
they are directed to swear every member of
the House and Senate, the Governor of
the Commonwealth, M. S. Quay, George
Bergner, and such others asthey may
think proper; and tlie Attorney-General
is directed to appear before said committee as
attorney for the Commonwealth, and the
overnor is hereby directed to require the
Attorney-General to commence proceedings
forthwith, under the laws now existing,.
against State Treasurers for loaning the funds
of the Commonwealth, and to employ the
usual force and power of the State therefor.
Mr. Randall believed the design was to turn
the whole thing into a farce. He raised the
point of order that Mr. Lowry's amendment
was not relevant to the subject.
Mr. Lowry then withdrew his resolution,no-
tifying the Senate that he would introduce it
at another time.
Mr. Randall moved to amend by discharging
the Committee from the further consideration
of the subject.
Mr.Billingfelt contended that this Commit
tee was constructed by resolution of the Sen
ate to pursue the investigation in obedience
to the recommendations of the Governor. He
hoped the resolution would pass, and op
posed disniissal of the subject. It lookel
to him as if certain persons were afraid
to have the investigation go- any further.
wishing to screen the men now here to appear
before the committee. Why make a demand
to suspend the investigation at this important
juncture? There ought to be dignity enough
in the Senate to complete an investigation be- ,
gun by them formally. Let justice be done
though the heavens fall.
Mr. Rutan offered an amendment that, the
Committee on Finance be directed, in the
meantime, to subpcena others, whom he inti
mated knew something of the matter, and ex
amine-them as to their knowledge of the cor
rupt means used to nominate and elect any
candidate for State Treasurer.
The amendment was ruled out as not rele
vant to the-subject.
Mr. Bnekalew said it had been asserted that
this investigation was a farce, and that it
would be productive of no good. His opinion
was different from that of the newspapers.
public The had been inforthed of what had
been done by the Committee ) and the infor
mation obtained had been very valuable. It
gave some insight into the Management of the
State Treasury; something about a vault ac
count, not known on the statute • books. The
fact, too, of the contumacy of men who re
fused to answer was extremelyinstructive. It
was well worth while to go on and obtain, if
necessary, from other sources what can be
gathered. The people would thank the Senate
for rejecting the amendment. intended to
smother the investigation and shield delin
quents.
Mr. Lowry said be had the honor (or dis
honor) of offering the resolution for this inves
tigation, and It, had done more than he thought
it would. The Committee had done well, let
ting in light and air upon a subject that stunk
more horribly than an, unsalted, heathen (sic)

would make every'citizen pale -with horror.

exchange its bonds now deposited as security
for the bonds to be issued under this act.
The amendment was discussed at length by

jected.
Mr. Buckingham moved to strike out the
eighth section of • the bill, and supported his
motion in a brief speech.

The House then resumed the consideration
of the bill for an Air Line Railroad between
Washington and New York. .
Mr. Swann continued his argument against
the bill, interrupted yesterday by the expira
tion of the morning hour. •
Mr. Michell moved to postpone the fur
ther consideration of the bill until Monday,
April 11th.
Mr. Ing6rsoll demanded the yeas and nays
on that motion, as it would test the question
whether the House wished to entertain the
bill any longer.
The motion was not agreed to, by yeas 60,
nays 00: ! • • •
Mr. Loughridge submitted the amendment,
and demanded the previous question oil the
bill and amendment.
Mr. Ingersoll protested against Mr. Lough
ridge's'right to take charge of this bill, and
hoped the demand would not be seconded.
The House refused to second the demand by
a vote of yeas 24 to nays 77, and the bill went
over until Tuesday next.
Mr. Logan, from the ComMittee on Military
Affairs, called up the bill to organize the army,
and addressed the House in favor of the pro
posed changes and reductions. He said we
should follow the example of the leading mili
tary powers by mustering out all officers whose
services are no longer required. The clamor
against mustering out,being unnecessary,is of a
recent date. Nearly all of the officers of the
war of 1812 and the ' Mexican war were
speedily dispensed with after Ocoee was estab
lished. He showed the undue proportion of
officers to the men under the present org,aniza
tion by a comparison with the standing qt.tlie
army in 1860. When we had onegeneral tn five
G
regiments. Now;.we have one enerate One
regiment, and in two-thirds of the regiments
in our army of 37,1100 men, there are five Ma.
