EVENING BULLETIN.
Thursday, March 24, Is7o.
TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.
The injustice of the New York Associated
Press, and its extortions upon the press of
other cities, have been common subjects of
oomplaint among the newspapers of Philadel
phia, dependent on it for news, for a number
of years. Looking over the files of the In
quirer, the Press ; the Age, and the Evening
Telegraph, we find numerous editorial articles,
complaining of the quality of the news. Per
haps, if we had time to overhaul the files of
the Ledger and the North Atherican; we could
find similar complaints. The Sunday papers
have repeatedly ridiculed and condemned the.
system by which the New York monopoly
vended its trash to the papers of other cities.
As for the EVENING BULLETIN, it spoke more
openly in condemnation of .the system; but it
employed other agencies to proctire news, look
ing confidently to the time when a new system
could he devised, whereby the afternoon papers
of Philadelphia could be relie%ed of their de
• ndence on the morning papers of Philadelphia,
which were already dependent' on'the associa
tion of New York morning papers.
Vuring the month of January last the ques
tion of giiing up the Associated Press was dis
cussed between the proprietors of the EVENING
BULLETIN and the nominal editor Of the
_Evening Telegraph—a person named War
burton. He acquiesced in the opinion that the
papers outside of New York, especially the
afternoon papers, were unjustly treated by the
New York Association, and indicated a desire
to-be free from all dependence upon it. But
betore - consenting to join the ,BuLLEini in
support of'a,new organization, he asked for
a little delay, and iin a day . or two informed us
that he could not enter into the arrangement.
This decision was perfectlyintelligible ; for he
was under the orders of Mr. W. W. Harding,
who is part owner of the Eceniiig Telegraph,
owner or part owner of the Inquirerand
manager of the establishment known as the
Philadelphia Associated Press, of which the
Ledger, North American, Press and Age are
bumble members. When a new morning pa
per is started in Philadelphia and wants to get
the news of the Associated Press, Mr. Harding,
objects, and as unanimity is required,the single
objector excludes it. So it has been, during the
last few years, with the Morning .Post and the
Day ; and so is it, as we now hear, with the
new morning paper which Mr. Swain, son of
the founder of the Ledger, is about to publish.
objection watinade by the proprietors of the
Ledger, or the .North, .American, or the Press,
or the Age ; but the Inquirer, represented by
Mr. larding, did object, and that decision con
trolled the majority. So will it continue to be,
so long as the ridiculous organization, known
as the Philadelphia Associated Press, consents
to be a tributary and a vassal to the insolent
gainbling monopoly known as the New York
Associated Press. So will -it be especially, so
long as the representative of this monopoly has
a mortal dread of every new journalistic enter
prise, and is driven to add a column per page
to his paper as an offset to the new one.
A few days after the EVENING BULLETIN
announced that it had joined the new organi
zation called the " American Press Associa
tion," it received a notice from Mr. / Fulton,
agent of the Associated Press, that it had been
resolved that their news should no longer be
furifigied MIL - TheantiOinicement Was a re-:
lief, as it was so much money per week saved
for a better purpose. 'A few days after,Mr. W.
W. Ilarding, owner or part owner of the In
quirer and Evening Telegraph, in an interview
with the publisher of the BULLETIN, expressed
Ids regret at the occurrence, mid declared that
the action of the Associated Press was
without his concurrence. .It made very
little difference to us ; but soon af
terwards the editor and proprietor of
another and much more important morning
paper, and a gentleman whose word has never
been disputed, told the publisher of the But
that the action of the Philadelphia AS
sociated Press was wholly brought about by
the demand of Mr. Harding. This raised a
simple question of veracity which we had no
difficulty in settling. Still, as we have said, it
made very little difference. We were getting
along nicely with our new arrangements, and
found comfort in the saving of a handsome
sum which had been paid weekly as a tax for
the support of the New York Associated Press.
The loss of the BULLETIN'S weekly contri
butions, and those of several of the Sunday
papers that have joined the American Press
Association, is keenly felt by the Philadelphia
representatives of the New York Asssociated
Press, and they and their New York "bosses"
have entered upon a campaign against us. The
--New York Tribune has led off in several atro
cious falsehoods, which have been copied here;
and now it is joined by the immaculate World,
in which we recognize the style of Mr. William
B: Reed, the
New
adelphia swindler, who has
loac to New York, where he is striving to
vent Lis spite upon the only paper in this city
that-had the manliness to expose his misdeeds.
In the meantime, the readers of the BULLETIN
can see in its telegrailic Columns, every day,
bow well we are supplied 'with news, and what
a formidable rival the American Press Asso
ciation bas already become to the New York
Monopoly, It is not surprising that that
monopoly and its Philadelphia vassals should
have become so terribly Rightened.
TAE DAILY .F.iNiENIIiG. BULLETIN-PIIILADELPIIiA:
TIDE itooffrEn RING.
We lutist tbe people of Pennsylvania will gir
due credit to tbote journals, in various party of
the State, whichtave ktbered bravely and per
sistently in the cause 'of Legislative reform.
Their task has been a tiresome, troublesome
and often very disagreeable one. To watch
the proceedings of such. a Legislature as is now
assembled at Harrisburg; to follow the twist
ings and windings of the many schemes of rob
bery and corruption; to sift out the few grains
from the growing mass of chaff; to denounce
the dishonest or the stupid and wrong course
6f men whose personal qualities and relations„
apart from their legislative record, are attractive
and popular ; in a word,to pass fair and fearless
judgment upon the people's servants, irrespec
thre of party or 'personal consideration ; all thii
has been the apparently ungracious task of
every honest journalist in Pennsylvania, durL
ing the present session of the Legislature,
For the most part, the disagreeable task has
been faithfully and fearlessly done, and the
members of the Legislature will return to their
homes with their individual • record, for good
or bad, clearly , understood by a people whose
masse'S are determined to judge every man ac
cording to his works, whether he bath done
good or whether be bath done evil.
The EVENING BULLETIN has endeavored
to do its share of the work of cleansing our
Augean stable from the corruption that dis
graces the State and fastens upon it all the
evils of bad legislation. Our Harrisburg agents
and correspondents are faithful, intelligent and
vigilant sentinels, and are, only doing their
duty when they enable us to mak& public the
mischief that is plotted and executed on "the
lull]." Experience has abundantly proved that
generalities are of no value in the work of ex
posing legislative corruption; that friendly ad
monitions .are disregarded; that leniency in
judgment and reticence in public discussions
are throWn away upon men whose political
morals, leVer very high or" strong, have be
come hopelessly damaged by contact with the
temptations of a corrupt systein of legislation.
There is only one practical method of dealing
with such men. They fear one thing, and one
only. They dread the light worse than any
other thing in the world. So long as tempori
zing journals could be found willing, out.of
gee -natu re -orl:.2dAitical considerations, -to I- F , Joze
over or suppress the doings of theie Harris
burg conspirators, their audacity and their ras
cality increased. But that day is past forever.
Such exposures-as we gave yesterday of the
organization and action of what is known as the
" Rooster Ring" will be followed by still
plainer words, and more distinct indications of
the men who are thus dragging our proud
State's good name in the dirt of their dishonor
able ,deeds. •When corruption reaches the
notoriety which now attaches to the proceed
ings of our Legislature, that great underlying
element of public virtue, which is' the founda
tion and the conservator of our whole Ameri
can system, must and will come to the rescue.
The people of Pennsylvania mean to be
honest, and they meant() be served by honest
representatives. That it is poseible to . be a
member of the Legislature and to preserve a
pure and honorable record is proved by the
,noble exceptions, in both houses, whose names
heve,never yet been breathed upon by the
faintest-suspicion of corruption. That it has
been the people's fault that these exceptions
are so rare, cannot be doubted. There is no
Assembly or Senatorial district in Pennsyl
vania that does not contain -large numbers of
honest, intelligent, educated, substantial men,
who would be willing to serve the - , people at
Harrisburg, if they had any assurance - that
they would be associated with like men is
their public duties. But .the number of this
class now in the Legislature,—the Senate is
undoubtedly far better than the House,—is
lamentably small, and it • is for the people to
see, that it is -largely increased at the next
election.
So far as the House is concerned, the safest
rule,—to which there. are a few notable excep
tions,—would be, to send no man back nal
ttinter Ow is in the LegiSlatnre now. There
are a few excellent men there who cannot be
spared from the posts of duty which they so
admirably fill. But with these exceptions, a
clean sweep is the true policy for next fall.
Half-way policies have been tried and have
failed. The next reform should be a thor
oughly radical one.
SHERIDAN AND THE INDIANS.
General - Sheridan writes a characteristic let
ter to General:Sherman in regard to the pun
ishment of the Piegon Indians, and, whatever
may be urged from the humanitarian'point of
view, there can be no doubt that the country
at large will go with the sturdy practical logic
of necessity which Sheridan lays down as the
rule of his Indian policy. Ile is guarding five
thousand miles of frontier settlements, and be
is determined to protect the lives of the men,
women and children scattered along this great
Western line of emigration. While he leaves
to the Indian Commissions the whole
question of humanizing and civilizing
the savage tribes of the West,
and expresses no opinion upon
those peaceful theories which good and wise
a men are now endeavoring to work out into
practice, be meets the present emergency with
bold, prompt, effective action. Ile says: "I
am going to stand by the people over whom I
am placed, and give them what protection I
can." Be states that twelve hundred men,
women and children have been massacred by
the Indians since 1802, and between "the hue
and cry of people who know not the Indiane,"
and "the daily most heartrending appeals to
save settlers front the cruel fate which may
come upon thud," he says, "I have no hesita
tion in making my choice."
General Sheridan warmly defends his officers
and troops against the charge of killing Indian
women and children. Ile des Vicksburg and
Atlanta as instances where civilized warfare
did not protect chills from bombardment and
assault on account of their women and chil
dren, and repeats the testimony so often given
by other officers and frontiermen, that the
Indian squaws " fight with more fury than the
men."
General Sheridan believes in confining the
Indians to their reservations, and there pro
tecting them from, the encroachments of emi
grants, and extending to them the influences of
civilization. But he denies that the warlike
tribes will go to these reservations or remain
there voluntarily. Ile calls, the reservation
the last ditch of the wild and eity3
that he must be driven to ft by foree.
' The whole despatch of Gummi Sheridan is
extremely interesting, as embodying the views
Cif an officer of very large Indian experience,
and as illustrating the peculiar difficulties to
which our officers are expoeed between the
cross fires of the' imperative demands for im
mediate, protection against outrage and
'massacre on the One hand, and the natural ex
pression of that humanity, Whose instincts
shrink from the narrative of the terrible blows
which our troops have occasionally dealt upon
these savage tribes.
NAVAL MAIL
Now that the Mouse Naval Committee is in
possession of all the facts necessary to a solu
tion of the rank prblem, it is to be hoped
that a bill will be passed at once satisfa,ctoryto
the line and staff officers of the Navy. The
return .of Mr. Stevens---whose' schwEe 'of re,
organization is most in favor with the 'House , —
will probably bring the matter to an early and
favorable issue,but the speedy passage of the
bill will rest in a great measure with the worthy
chairman of the committee. ; .As the repre
sentative of a State whose chief city is the
centre of Esculapian knowledge in the United
States, it is eminently proper that Judge Seho 7
field should be . the one to bring about an
amicable settlement of this much vexed ques
tion, and the medical profession of Pennsyl
vania—we may say of the whole• world—is
now looking to him as the champion of its
rights, knowing his impartiality, his hatred of
old-fgSVP4 nd his love of progress, which
is alw*Aeoipered by a wise and just discrimi
nation of what is due to the contending par
ties in the Navy, and to the best interests of
the government.
The abolition of the curbstone market from
Second street by the Legislature, yestertlay,was •
an act of justice to the merchants and property
owners upon that thoroughfare, ' which, al
though long delayed,will be exceedingly grateful
to those who have been afflicted with this nui
sance. There can be no doubt at all that the
business of. the respectable tax-paying mer
chants has been injured by the presence of this
unlicensed traffic upon the pavements. Now
the hucksters will be • driven to the market
I?.ous_6,._and_while—tho—peoide—NillAßlP
enabled to obtain their provisions in a more
cleanly condition, the street will be left linen:-
cumbered by their wagons and their wares.
It is pleasant to be able to commend the action
of the present Legislature in at least one direc
tion. The men who are benefitted by this
bill, having had their petition, granted after
many years of earnest praying, will be likely
to forgive a multitUde of the sins of the mem
bers who give them this protection for their
rights. .

WASHINGTON, March 24.—An amendment
to the Upsbur resolutiOn, offered by Mr. Gar
field, and calling for a court of inquiry instead
of a court martial, was rejected, - and the
original resolution was passed after being
modified .so as to "request" instead of
"direct" the Secretary of the Navy.
On the resolution about - General Schoepf,
of the Patent Office, Mr. 'Kelley said that he
had known that numbers of his predecessors
had been in the habit not only of selling their
cadetships, but of peddling out the appoint
ments of others, arguing that the practice had.
become so common that probably Schoepr
did not know there waS • any harm in it.
Mr. Maynard talked in the same strain,
rather reprobating the needlessseverity which
had been exhibited.
Mr. Schenck followed by expressing his as
onit-hrnent at such statements.
Mr. Dawes was likewise surprised. and
during the years he had been in the House,
no knowledge of such things had reached
him. He should have felt it his duty to bring
it instantly to the attention of the House. He
reprobated the attempt to come down and be
content with simpl condemnin , kese nrac,
TIM as dangerous.
Gen. Garfield also had been surprised to
hear of Congressional corruption. He had not
dreamed of •it till this investigation com
menced. He then branched off into a descrip
