THE ,SEDICIART.
ThelSonatOttdiciary Comenittee has paid so
little attention to the opinions and wishes of
the bar of Philadelphia as to present a - scheme,
for the increase of our judiciary in direct op,
pasitikin - tti the expressed and reasonable wants
of this community. The Legislature has been
&Sited for bread and it gives us a Stone. Where'
it was told that lye' needed additional judges it
proposes to give us none. And where'll, was
asked to give us one judge, it insists upon
giving am two.
',l:his apparently puzzling action of the Senate
Committee is not difficult to explain. Our
Barrisburg correspondence has already thrown
some light upon it. The majority of the
Judiciary Committee has had a clever trick
played upon it by its clever Democratic mem
ber, Mr. Wallace, a gentleman who is up to a
great variety of ingenious experiments, besides
the antiquating of bogus naturalization papers.
with-coffee grounds. As our correspondent
has already stated, Mr. Wallace,—and we hear
Buckalew named in the same connection,
—innocently suggested to the Committee that
there was no real need for increasing the Dis
trict Court, but that all that was needed was a
younger and more vigorous man in Judge
Btroud's place. Next he suggested that the
Common Pleas does need two more judges,—
the bar of Philadelphia having asked for only
one. Then came the appeal to the generosity
of the majority of the Committee to agree to
electlliese two judges on the Buckalew system,
• thereby securing one more Democrat
in that Court. Why the majority assented to
this trick, no burden sagacity can divine, but.
it was agreed to, on condition that the Demo
crats, would put up. a respectable . candidate.
Then, when the bargain was made, Mr.
Wallace allowed the cat to peep out of the bag,
and with increased innocence suggested
Viether Mr. Lewis C. Cassidy would-not be a
v_e acce 'table candidate !
This is carrying out the request of the bar
and the business men of Philadelphia,' with a
vengeance. So far as theistrict Court is
concerned, we htive this to say. Judge Stroud
is •an old man, and has certainly not treated the
E'VENING BULLETIN with dignity, propriety
or justice. But the argument used
,by the
Democrats at Harrisburg is ungenerous to an
old, faithful and able judge, and is
, only used
`as a pretext for putting both the additional
judges into the Common Pleas Court, in order
to get Mr. Cassidy on the bench.
We trust that the Legislature will act in this
important matter only in accordance with the
deliberate and general judgment of the Phila
delphia bar. The wants of the courts are far
better understood here than they can be in
Harrisburg, and the political trick which has
been perpetrated by the Democrats in the Sen
ate certainly should not receive the sanction or
support of a single Republican member of
either branch of the Legislature.
THE BORDER RAID MVANDLE.
The people of Pennsylvania Ware need to
watch the Legislature narrowly, or the great.
robbery, so deliberately planned against the
State Treasury, will yet be perpetrated. The
timely, warnings which we have felt it our duty
to give, of this momentous design upon the
revenues of the State, while they have aroused
public attention and public indignation, have
not deterred the engineers of the bill from se
curing itsfavorable report from the Ways and
Means Committee. Either one of the Phila
delphia members, Messrs. Davis, Josephs, or
Adaire could have defeated this important pre
liminary step, but the Border raiders Were not
wrong in relying upon the alliance which they
have formed at Harrisburg.
The people of Philadelphia are principally
concerned with their own representatives, and
while the , other members of then Ways and
Means Committee who voted for this iniquity
are equally responsible, Messrs. Davis, Adaire
and Josephs must bear the burden of having
consented to, if they did not urge and promote,
the favorable report of this infamous schenie
of Public robbery. That they will find the
burden a terribly inconvenient one, next' fall,
we have not a shadow of doubt.
Yesterday, we learned that Mr. Davis,
properly conscious of the storm of condenina-
tion which he has aroused, had declared his
determination to withdraw his further support
from the, bill. He will be a wise man if he
does. But Mr. Davis said essentially the same
thing in this city, more than a week ago, and
then went back to Harrisburg and put the bill
through his committee. how this is explained,
we know not. Whether the " arguments " of
the Border raiders were increased in weight,
during the week, or whether Mr. Davis was
already tied up to support the measure,
beyond retreat, will soon be known publicly.
Possibly, Mr. Davis, having set the bill suc
cessfully upon its passage, may have as
certained that votes enough have been
bought to secure it without his farther
active aid, and it may be a part of the plan
that he, as Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee, is not to go on the record in favor
of the bill. Whether .t 1 ese suggestions are well
founded or not will be proved by Mr. Davis' s
future course. He has the power to defeat the
bill, if he chooses to do so. If the bill passes
the House, it will be because Mr. Davis has all.
lowed it to pass, first by his action in com
mittee, and afterward by his acquiescence or
, apathy in the House. We single Mr. Davis
out especially, because he is the parliamentary
leader of the House, and because his personal
and official influence at Harrisburg is probably
greater than that - Of any other Memberof-the
Legislature. We would not screen Mr. Adaire
or 'Mr—Josephs behind the shadow of the
Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee.
They have their full share of the responsibility,
and will find it to be so, at the next election.
Till: MERCANTILE LIBRARY.
The . question of opening the Mercantile Li
brary on Sundays has liCen so far settled as to
have been referred, by the Board of Directors,
to a vote of the stockholders. 'Fliis is the pro
per course for the Directors to take. The
Mercantile. Library has about six thousand
stockholders, and it has had the

never satisfied either*itlf the' iliMbislo4
commissions of: the Board of Direelors, and
who have a happy faculty for ' disturbing the
peace and quiet of the placid regions of the
Library., These 'agitating gentle Men have
been greatly exercised because, the Directors,
!representing ; six thousand .-clients, have de
clined 40.'.0b0r a direction' from fifty-seven
• menibers, who detail:llod that the Library
was to be open on Sundays. •
The, Directors have unquestionably-acted In.
.strict accordance with their duty In declining
the dictation of this very small minority, and
in submitting the subject to the general voice'
of the stockholderS, towbom they are 'respon-•
Bible, and who alone have any rignt to decide
questions of this kind. • . •.
We are unable to form any opinion as to
how the stockholders will determine the ques
tion . of opening the Libtary .on Sundays.
Strong arguments will be advanced on, both;
sides, and we suppose that we
,may look for
some repetition of the exciting contests which
have disturbed the tranquility of the Library on,
former occasions. It is a subject that does not
need excited canvassing or impassioned debate.
It is quite possible to settle it one way or the
other, in sober quietness and good feeling.
Whatever the majority decides, the Ditectors
will cheerfully and in good faith carry into ef
fect, and we trust that the good sense of the
mass of the stockholders will prevail to pre
vent all resorts to unfair or improper influences
and appliances on either side, letting their
"yea be yea, and their nay, nay," without
hard words or foolish excitement.
The loyal people of the country will regard
with pleasure the paisage by the House of Rep
resentatives, of -a joint resolution appropriating
an amount equal to, one year's salary of an
Associate Justice" of the SUpreme Court, to
the widow and children of Edwin M. Stanton.
If there is any justice at all in the system
which makes the families of men who have
died in the service of-their country, in some
sense.the yards of tlie nation, it is right that
the family of Mr. Stanton should receive at
least an acknowledgment of our obligation.
Mr. Stanton was killed by his labors for the
salvation of this government, and his death
was as much a gallant and heroic sacrifice for
mar, cause as uu mitt
tle-fleid. if there is anything to regret in this
matter, it is that the resolution of
Congress does not appropriate a sufficientsum.
But as a handsome amount has been obtained
by private subscription,we are ready to express
satisfaction that Congress, by giving even a
small sum, has recognized officially the claims
of Mr. Stanton's family upon the nation. This
act of justice ought. to be supplemented by
another, which is demanded in an equally im
perative manner. A pension should be given
to Mrs. Lincoln. Mr. Lincoln had even a
stronger claim to our gratitude than Mr.
Stanton bad, and no consideration whatever
should interfere to prevent acknowledgment
of that claim by placing his widow above the
reach of want.
The satisfaction Which ,we naturally derive
from the intelligence that Lydia Thompson
and her troupe of
,blonde and brazen braves
have been indicted by_a. Chicago jury for riot,
would be intensified if we could have some as
surance that the penalty for the Crime in Illi
nois was of such a character as to make the
appearance of the party upon the stage in
another state impossible. If; for instance, the
Chicago judge could be induced to sentence
them to imprisonment for life, or to perpetual
exile in Canada, or to condemn them either to
forsake padding or dress as decently as other
women, we should be ready to pardon to se
verity of the infliction for the sake of the plea
sure that would be be derived from reflection
that these people could not disgrace our thea
tres again and take the bread from respectable
act ors and actresses.
The Montpensier-Bourbon duel in Spain'has
apparently destroyed whatever chance there
might have been foi. the election of a Bourbon
Prince to the throne. Montpensier seemed to
have, for a time, some chance, and as he and
his wife are both Bourbons, their heirs might
have secured the succession permanently. But
the fatal duel has spoiled the prospect, for the
people would probably never colgient to be
ruled by the hero of such a murderous duel as
that of last Saturday. If the Spanish Repub
licans are wise, they may derive great strength
from the catastrophe that has put two of the
chief aspirants to the throne out of the way
forever. .
We are waiting, with some impatience, for
the partieulars of the little arrangement by
which the Legislature was induced to prohibit
the people of Philadelphia from selecting a site
for their public buildings.. It is now generally
understood that the vote was not chargeable to
Mr. Davis's spread-eagle speech, and we hope
to lay the real history of this apparent outburst
of buncombe patriotism before our readers.
We hear some talk about reviving the old
theory about the " Sacred Steeple" of Inde
pendence hall, which was started by one of
the present Penn Squareites, some years ago.
Demands are being made for copies of that
celebrated speech.
DRAMATIC.
reenter us "Buy Bias."
Mr. Fechter appeared at the Walnut Street
Theatre last night in a personation of "Bay
Bias," which was as original and peculiar as
his performance of " Hamlet." It is a pretty
long jump from Shakespeare's supreme work
to the abridged and mutilated translation of
Victor Hugo's melodrama; but we incline to
consider Mr. Pechter's performance in the
latter rather more satisfactory than his perso
nation of " Hamlet." Compared with Ihrmiet,
ltuy Bias is a mere sketch, full Of splendid sit
uations and vivid contrasts, but yet possessing
a slight plot, and containing only superficial
characters. Of the principal personages there
are but three that are of any importance;
and of these "Don Salluste" is only a con
ventional stage A Illain, while "Don
C:esar de Bazan " has figured so much
in the theatre, in all , kinds of plays,
that he has been spoiled in the, nSing, and he
bores us, The " Queen " is a mere lay figure
arranged for Buy's love-making. She pos
sessesdittle intrinsic interest, and this was not
heightened by Miss Leclereq's method of rep
resenting her. But there is in, thiS play, fine
opportunity for a good actor who has great
power of passionate expression. There is no
subtle philosophy, no mysterious, depth of
feeling, no vague, iMietinable - Conflict of emo
tions. From the first, "Roy Bias" is con-
itolled by ', Id madly
In love with the " Queen." ••• His .passion is
bold, eloquent and conspicuous ; ons, It is the
!solitary' motive of
. his action; tte re.
lalization ;and ,at ',any. sac
;rifle° , are , hie ; highest' ?, htipe. the
?incidental and complementary emotions of
!shame, exultationoride,rage and despair, are
!al/jupon the stirface of the textia,rid being only
:variations of the melody of the theme, sorve
but to give it greater richness and effect. They
. do not require that the actor should seek for
;hidden meaning or that he should possess nice .
!elocutionary gifts. with, which to ; illuminate
;obscure 'texts; but they deT6aid eloqUent
;physical expression; the ability to feel passion
'deeply, and so' to exhibit it as to 'touch the
!heart of the hearer with a conviction of its re
tality. For this reason we think Mr. Fechter's
"Ruy Bias," in some sense, more successful—
;at any rate more grateful—than his "Hamlet."
He is above everything else"superb, con
'summate actor. If he misuses this
,text, who
.cares? 1.1 he Stuinblei along through the
,words, here entangling the .meaning - with'
wrong • emphases ; there pouring forth the
language with fiery vehemence of • utterance
•which denies to the ear the very
sound of the separate syllables, what differ
ence does it make? We, understood Ristori
when she spoke in another tongue. This man
speaks not in stately sentences and with
placid carefulness of his lines, but with the
tones and inflections of his sympathetic voice ;
with the changing expressions of his wonder
ful face ; with the splendid grace and beauty
of his bodily action. Any human being,
whether he knew our language or not, if be
had but, once felt the force and fervor of the
passion of "'Buy Bias," could understand
Fechter's action. He makes love, not as men
do, but as men might do if they could east oil
fear and the trammels of custom and learn
how to express their passions truly in language
and action. Fechter's love-making is the
love-making that might be ;;it is not an ex
ample for other men, by any means, but
rather a perfect expression of the passion as
it exists in the human soul—an expression
bounded by no restraint aild' uncurbed by
selfish 'consciousness. •
' We regard Mr. Fechter's management of the
interview with the " Queen " and the final
scene, wherein his love overwhelms him with
shame and he determines to proVe that,
although a lackey, he is a hero and worthy of
her devotion, as magnificent. Rarely has it
been given to our people to witness such
spienam - aer

figured in the effort to express the passion
which sufliised and colored his whole nature.
Other actors who have played in , these scenes,
have given them effectively and well; but
their personations were declamatory and arti
ficial. There was about them evidence of pre
meditation ; every movement, every inflection
of the voice, every protestation of love,
suggested study and forethought. There was
superb art, and the spectator admired it for its
elegance and carefulness, but gave it onlycold
and unenthusiastic commendation. Fechter's
grace seemed to come from his feelings.
Every posture and gesture and — inflection
seemed to be the eloquent' inspiration of the
moment.. His passion was fiery, tumultuous
and uncontrollable. There was no stain of
artifice upon him. He was so dose to nature
that it seemed as if he must be in deep earnest.
His audience was entranced. He won their
keenest sympathy, and, holding them in his
grasp, played upon their feelings as a musician
touches the tenderest chords upon his instru
ment.
This is an evidence of power, whether the
artist hali skill to clothe,it in elegant shape or
not. When, for instance, Lucille Western, in
East Lynne, night after night, provokes multi.
tulles to tears, she proves that she . posseases
rare and wonderful sympathetic power,which
is superior to her coarse manner and to the
cheap passion of a maudlin play. It is this
same noble quality that enables Mr. Gough,
even through the medium of stale anecdotes
and rhetorical bosh, to compel his hearers to
sadness or mirth. It is the highest gift of the
actor—it is a divine gift, which cannot be
acquired by study, and the want of which
cannot be compensated for by the most
exalted intellectual ability. Mr. Fechter has
this power, but he has made it more effective
with graceful and elegant gesture, with,
tasteful stage business and with just concep
tion of his eharacters. fie 'has intellectual
power as well as this quality of magnetism.
fle needs now only tine elocutionary skill,and
the nice art of developing the strongest meatk
ing of his language by correct emphasis, to
make• him an unexceptionable actor•. These
things probably he will never have; but we
are willing to accept him as he is, - satistied that
be has dared to break through the shell of
tradition and to give us exhibitions' of a
school of art which is new and fresh and
beautiful ;and wbich,whilc it does not destroy
entirely our admiration for the classic ele
gance "of the old method, tills us with a long
ing desire to have that method .infused with
at least a portion of
,the fire and spirit and
passionate-earnestness of this.

The Times of to-day, in discussing the new

will prove but little more than a movement of
good intentions, and even it enforced, that
they will not secure the desired object. The
Times calls for harsher measures to check at

State Bonds.
.N.ABIIVIIIII, March 15.—As one or two of
our State journals have denied the abrogation
of the ordinances barring certain obligations
of the State, either from Sheer ignorance or to
corvr up the truth for speculative , purposes,
we quote from the schedule of 1865 the follow
ing: "All laws, ordinances and resolutions
passed after May 6th, 1861, providing for the
issuance of State bonds for the Bank of Tennes
see currency, are hereby null and void, and - no
Legislature shall have the power to authorize
the payment of such issue."
The following provision in the proposed
constitution abrogates the above:
"In the miscellaneous provisions' of Sec. 1
all ordinances contained in auy foriner con
stitution or schedule are hereby abrogated."

[From the Herald of to-day.)
Mori'Day. March IC—Sae:nese at the opening this
morning was quiet awl dull.
The gold market was than in earlier transactions to
day, owing to the bullish feeling of the larger operators,
ho bought last week for a reaction from. the extreme
low puiffie then touched. 'The price rapidly advanced
to 11.4),,, .at which figure realisations commenced,
with the result of a decline of about one per
cent. Here the telegraph announced the intro
duction of a bill by Senator Sumner to
provide for specie payments by the national banks on
the let of January next by requiring them to begin the
accumulation of specie, at the rate of four per cent.
monthly on their reserve. It will be seen from the bank
statement of Saturday that the banks in this city now
hold about fourteen per cent. of a reserve In specie.
Adding four per cent, per mouth would give them just

The production of gold front the mines in the United
States was for the last two years 5122,060.000, or over
$60,0410.CC0 yearly. It is a curious coincidence that, as.

product of our mines 'memo to be astiocial fund to pay the
antereet at an average of six per cont. per an

gold throughout the world from the discovery of
A werica to 1843 bad steadily increased to 831,000,0011 per
annum, which was the production for that year in the
whole regions of civilization. In the year 185.3 the yield
was about a:M.000,000 and his nut been loss than 8200,-

last twenty years has been double what it was VO years
before, the progressive increase being duo to the Ml

The government market was heavy and weak, and

The St. Domingo Treaty.
WASHINGTON, March 15.—The Senate For
eign Relations Committee, to-day, by vote of
5. to 2, agreed to report the St. Domingo treaty
with the recommendation that it be rejected.
Senator Morton was the principal advocate of
the treaty, while Senator Sumner took the
lead against it. One Senator reserved his
right to vote for the treaty in the Senate. The
considerations which influenced the Com
mittee were various. It was said that it was
no knowing bow much the purchase
would cost in the end that we
should, have to follo'w it up by an
nexing Hayti, and that the possession of an
island in the West Indies would greatly facili
tate smuggling ; that it is bad policy to absorb
any of the Latin colonies, &c. The members
of the Committee say that their decision will
' have no effect whatever on its final mink
in the Senate, as each Senator will vote ac
cording to his individual predilection. The
impression is that the necessary majority for
ratification cannot be obtained.

ation to rid the In dians of that Superinten
dency to engage in agricultural pursuits, by
purchasing for them teams, tools, seeds, &e.
They represent the condition of these Indians
as deplorable in the extreme, and insist that it
is their misfortune rather than their fault, as
the Government has failed not only to fulfil
• its obligations but its solem promises to them.
They ask a total appropriation of one hun
dred and forty thousand dollars, to be divided.
among the Winnebagoes, Omahas, Pawnees,
Santee Sioux, Otoes, Towas, Sacs and Foxes,

and a' plied only to the payment of

• deposit the Company is to have the) use of an

3n - order to secure the State from any loss,
it is proposed that the new bonds shall be pay

Agreed to, and the bill passed finally.
The Senate bill for a Metropolitan' police
force for Philadelphia was introduced by Mr.
Henszey. This bill has been published. '
Mr. Nagle Tose to a point of order, contend
ing that this bill was similar to the bill vetoed
by the Governor, and appealed to the ruling
of the Speaker on the Pleasant Valley ilway
supplement, which he ruled out b ause At
was the same as a bill formerly kijjlled by the
Senate.
Mr. CQ1:113ell replied that the bill was totally
different from the one vetoed by the Governor.
The Speaker ruled Mr.Nagle's point of order
not well taken.
Mr. Nagle then raised another point of
order, contending that the * first was disposed
of.
The Chair decided this point not well taken,
declaring that while both bills were before the
fienate, there was no rule to prevent either bill
being considered.
Mr. Connell moved to amend the first sec
tion by naming the Commissioners embraced
in the,bill which had been vetoed by the Go
vernor. -
Mr. Lowry then moved the indefinite post
ponement of the whole subject.
Mr. Henszey hoped the Senate would un
derstand that this movement was to defeat the
bill.
Mr. Lowry replied_that this bill had already
been passed upon by the public, who bad de
clared that neither this bill nor any like it
should pass.
Mr. Lowry's motion was disagreed to.

Mr. Connell then, in response to the earnest ,
appeals of Messrs..Flenszey and White, with
drew his amendment, explaining that he had
introduced it only in justice to the gentlemen
named in it, who had been shamefully vilified
and traduced.
Mr. Henszey read a long manuscript speech
arguing the constitutional points involved.
The Democratic Legislature of New Jersey
had passed a police bill for Newark. He read ,
from the Mercury, as Democratic authority,
that Mayor Fox' s administration was corrupt.
He declared that lawlessness and violence were
never more prevalent in Philadelphia, citing
the escape of Haggerty, the fire ,company
fights, the mode of making Democratic norm
--
nations, &c.
Mr. Randall asked from whom Haggerty es
caped, the court or Mayor Fox's police?
34r. Henszey answered that It was Mayor
Fox's police who had aided in his escape. If
they had been attentive to their duties around
that court when the van arrived Haggerty
would not have got oft. He alluded to a num
ber of riots, and cited the Transcript as Deteo
cratic authority for the alleged bad manage
ment of the police. Reconfirmed the readily ,
of his manuscript speech at great length.
Mr. Nagle said the speech of Mr. Henszey
was a slander upon the Mayor and the Police
force of Philadelphia, whom he felt called
upon to defend. Be opposed the bill as ex
travagant, and an outrage upon the people. It
was asked for by the politicians, and not by
the people.
Mr. Lowry looked upon this bill as dis
honorable to the Republican party,to legislate
in a thousand hungry, lean men for party pur
poses and emolument. The power should re
main in the hands of the people. If Mayor
Fox's conduct was bad the people would oust
him. He knew Mayor Fox, and he know him
to be the peer of any Senator who had de
nounced him He was not a thief, a scoundrel,
or a cutthroat. He was willing to throw the
choice of police entirely outside of politics;
but he would not vote to transfer patronage
by legislation from one party to another. It
was not the good and decent Republicans of
Philadelphia who wanted this bill; it was the
Peter - Funk Republicans, the weak-kneed,
sunkon-eyed, red-nosed, blood-shot Republi
cans, who wanted to get on the police force.
Mr. Buckalew did not see any sense filth° first
section, providing that the minority of the
joint convention of Councils shall have one
member of the board.
The difficulty was in deciding who were
the minority. He moved to strike out that
part of the section and insert that each mem
ber of the joint convention may vote for four
commissioners or a less number, and that the
four persons receiving the largest number of
votes shall be declared elected.
Mr. Henszey accepted this amendment.
Mr. Nagle moved'to amend by striking out
the last section and inserting: "Provided,
That the provisions of this actshall not apply
to the powers of the present moment."
Disagreed to t.);‘, a partyyoto.
Mr. Lowry; however, voted for the amend.
ment. The bill then passed to a second read
ing as amended by Mr. Buckalow, but two
thirds could not be obtained to suspend the
rules for its final passage, and it was laid over
for one day.
