NONTRIENTS AT HARSISIIIIIIO.. These bas been ' a good deal of baiting in successive Legislatures of Pennsylvania in the matter of commemorating properly the services of the soldiers of the State who served in the war for the suppression of the:rebellion. The completion of the History, authorized several years ago, has been delayed by a want of funds, and the refusal to appropriate these funds seems to arise - ebieily from a factious op position. The book, as far as it has advanced, seems to be a good one, and it ought to be finished without further delay. , A bill to this elect passed to a third reading in the House yesterday, and it may become a law before the ttild of the session, though there is danger of its being lost or neglected in the rush of business that always marks the closing days. The House took the first step also, yester day, towards erecting a monument in the Cipitol grounds at Harrisburg, in honor of the Pennsylvania soldiers that fell in the late war. The work is to be done under Commis- kioners, among whom are the Governor, Atlju- tent General and Auditor General. It is to be Limed that nothing will prevent the passage of this bill by, the Senate. Altogether the finest ,work, of art in Harrisburg is the elegant monu ment, finished last year, to the memory of the soldiers of Pennsylvania who fell in the war with Mexico. It is not colossal, nor was it very costly ; but it is a stately and grace ful column, with appropriate devices about the base, and surmounted by a statue which is appropriate and beautiful, even though it be only a copy of one In Paris. Something more . imposing ought to be erected in memory of the dead heroes of the more recent and infinitely more important war. But the good taste that adoptedthe design for the finished work ought Id be invoked in the choice of one for the new one. Care should be taken also to avoid the eontrivers of the monstrosity that the citizens of Dauphin county have raised money to build in honor of their heroes—an ugly mass of granite that disfigures State street and Second street, and is an eye-sore to every one that ap proaches the Capitol from the river bank. As Philadelphia pays a very large share of the State's expenses, at Harrisburg as well as elsewhere, her people and press ought to exer ' tin a good deal of influence in all questions, and especially all questions in which the prin_ ciples of art are concerned; for here is the chief seat of the arts in the State, and our people are interested in having all expenditures in matters of art at the seat of government made for worthy. objects. We like the idea of decorating the Capitol grounds with monuments, and the acknowledged beauty of the Mexican mom/- spent has made the idea popular everywhere. When, however, the time comes for choosing a design for the monument to the heroes that fell in the war of the rebellion, we hope ,that our own artists will have furnished such fine designs that the Commissioners will not be obliged to give the work to an artist of another State, as had to be done in the case of the Mexican monument. THE LEGAL-TENDER DECISION. The Ledger of yesterday contains an article of considerable length to show, partly, the itn probability, and partly the impropriety, of any review of the decision of the Supreme Court on this question, We notice it to state .that the views we have presented in relation to the subject have had but slight reference to the effect of the decision on existing relations be tween debtor and creditor, or to that of. cour tesy between the judges who compose the court. It may well- be, in respect to the latter point, that it is not customary to review and reverse_ pronounced opinions, not only on the ground ,of comity,but because of a general concurrence .of sentiment; and, in regard to its bearing on the rights of mortgagees, and other creditors, there is no doubt much to be said on the Ledger's side. But, in our view, the point of paramount interest is the constitutional power of Congress to make paper a legal tender, and this we think so clear and so important, that it is most desirable, if Judges Strong and Bradley shall be of the same opinion, to have a reversal of the de cisions, by Chief Justice Chase, in the cases of Bronson vs. Bodes and Hepburn vs. Griswold, ,so that in the event of a future exigency, the Congress of that - day may not be hindered in providing for the public safety by the existence of these. decisions on the books as authority. ku giving Congress the power to declare war, and all other power necessary and proper to tarry that into execution, we believe Congress Lan the power not only to draft men into the army, but to make money of paper to pay them, and that to give such money efficacy for the purpose, it must be a legal tender, not only for prospective contracts, but for existing ones, and that too, notwithstand ing such contracts may stipulate for payment is specified coin. In a word, that the power of Congress over the subject matter is plenary— ter else it is of non effect. It may be hard, but it 'is no more hard than it is to press a man into the artily, and without both, the power to de clare war is only a mockery. Without the 4, Wider" clause the notes authorized by the bw of 1E62 would not have been received, and the act would have been a failure. And if in the future An exigency should arise; such a law may be necessary again. If the !mum obical•nations of Europe should combine to overthrow republicanism in the United State, .we ahead be entirely at, their mercy ualeis c~ ~;~.-;~;. EVENING BULLETIN- A.DELI4EIA; MAP: 25, I& O. Congress simukl have these,very powers of en forcing a draft and making notes legal tender; and one is as necessary as the other. if we have an army We must have the means to pro vide for all Its necessities, and we must also have the means , to prevent financial convul sions in civil life. With these views we desire to see the recent: decisions above nathed set aside, and Congress again free to exercise this function of sovereignty. That done we care not how soon Congress may repeal the, legit wittier act of 1862, reserving to itself the power to re-enact a similar one if, in the judgment of the law-making power, the life or safety of the nation should over again require so extreme a measure. TILE CADIETISII IP REPORT. The report of General Logan's Investigating Committee is at last published, and its recony mendatipns have been adopted by the House. The report is far from what the country has been led to expect, in more than one respect. In its tender regard for the members of Con gress who have sold their cadetships, anA its merciless severity toward everybody else who has had anything to do with this mean busi ness, the Committee has displayed an unex pected degree of timidity or partiality, or both. With the undoubted fact of a considerable number of cadets now illegally enjoying the advantaces of West Poifit and Annapolis, he Committee has been able to find but two questionable cases, implicating members of Congiess, one of 'which was dis posed of by frightening Mr. Whittemore out of his seat, and the other by a harmless vote of whitewashing censure upon Mr. Butler of Tennessee. But while the members of Con gress who have traded away their appoint ments thus go harmless, and the principle is asserted that the conduct of ex-members could not' be investigated, the Committee pounces upon General Schoepf and Commander Up shur, who, strictly speaking, were never within the direct jurisdiction of,Concress, and make them the „ ;scape-goats of scores of, delinquent Congressmen. In Commander Upshur's case, we believe that it is not even pretended that he ever approached any Congressman to buy his son's illidetsbip. It was yesterday stated on the floor of Congress that Commander Upshur, finding a cadet who was willing or desirous to leave the Academy, paid him a slim" oritobey as compensation, and when the vacancy' had been made, it was filled by the appointment of young Upshur "at large." The resolution excluding the cadet-broker Brooks and the rest of the same tribe from the privileges of Congress is a perfectly proper one, if it is intended to enforce it. Such fel lows should be driven out of Washington if it is possible, and their exclusion from the Capi tol will go far to make their residence in Wash ington unprofitable. They are a disgrace and nuisance to the profession of journalism, and the respectable press of the country should unite to put them under a practical and permanent bah. The debate upon the resolutions of the Com_ mittee develops the extraordinary fact that this disgraceful practice of selling cadetships has been known to prominent members of Con gress for many years, withouheing thought by them worth the attention or action of Congress. Mr. Maynard spoke of the practice as a noto rious one,sand Mr. Kelley volunteered the in formation that, the verj first time he had the appointment of a cadet, he satisfied himself that it was customary to buy and sell them. How far these gentlemen are responsible for the growth of this bad usage until it has now become a national scandal, is for them, to de cide. Other leading members, such as Messrs . Dawes, Garfield, Logan, Schenck, and others, indignantly denied that this knowledge of the existence of this cadetship business bad been shared by them, and declared that they would certainly have called for its investigation long sago. The report, imperfect, apparently partial, and unsatisfactory as it is,,will accomplish much eood ; and the country may be sure that, for the present generation, at least, the national academies will be filled in accordance with the requirements of law, and not through the in tervention of impudent brokers, practising upon the impecuniosity or greediness of mem bers of Congress. A LAST snor. Yesterday the Female Anti-Slavery Society of Pennsylvania, having outlived its mission, wisely chose to disband. Its death will not be regretted, because everybody felt that its work being done, and the object for which it was organized having been obtaided,there was a certain amount of absurdity involved in its further existence. An Anti-Slavery Society is an anomalous organization in a country in which slavery does not and cannot exist. But this society leaves behind it a fragrant memory. It 'won a clear title to the hearty respeet and admiration of every lover of freedom, who tan appreciate the heroism and the self-sacrificing devotion which sustained this little band of • abolitionists &trill! those dark days when they faced and fought, almost single handed, that gigantic slave power which once ruled this land. We can pardon many of its errors for the sake of the brave deeds that were done and the courageous words that were spoken in that time for the cause of human liberty ; and while we know that a wise Providence compassed the destruction of sla very in a manner so strange and wonderful that even the members of this organization could only stand awestricken and witness the over throw of their enemy in a manner of which they had not dreamed; we give them the full measure of credit for their bold, earnest and sincere efforts to destroy slavery when destruc tion seemed entirely impossible. While every liberal American is framing a eulogy for this dead organization, it is' very fitting that the friends of slavery and the slave power, the apologists of rebels and the de fenders of treason should seize this last oppor tunity to assault the society with vituperation and indecent falsehood. The Democratic organ i this city, in its report this morning of the closing scene at the session of the society, heaps ridieule and abuse upon the organization, and singles out sonic of the most respectable and estimable members for personal assault. With an utter want of manliness, which is characteristic, it selects for its principal vic tim a Nti oman—a. woman whose 'exalted craracter, c-eminent ability and devoted self-aaciifice in the cause of humanity, have won fo'r her the profound esteem of the whole nation, and the deep reverence of those who .. u:-~h>::: knOw.intimately bercharactertutd labors. The Age chooses Mrs.. I.aitcretia 'Mots tltid kpeeial object- of an assault, the coarseness . and veil ' igaritys of which are - eelvaniutssed by the !.meanness•aud cowardice which could expend themselves upon thelead ore 'defenceless we ; man. l'ossibly'she may never read the slander; and if she' . did; it wotild ' 'not' inflict a wound, for she has a serene consciousness of duty well .performed, and she.% so sure of the complete .appreciation . of respectable people everywherelhat sbe can afford to treat this blackghardism with the contempt it de serves. She has done more for hu manity and freedom and the advancement of true American principles Than all the Democatic newspapers have existed from the foubdation of the Gevertnnent to the pre ' sent moment. Her name and those of her colleagues will be remembered with respect when the Democratic party.has fallen into ruin and contempt; and the' effects of-her labors Will be felt when the injury done by that party is utterly forgotten. But this does not relieve the assault of any portion of its base ness. The author of it deserves the reproba tion and scorn of every gentleman. It is the last of a series of blows struck at a triumphant enemy by a beaten and demoralized an tagonist; and it Is characterized by the impotent rage, which, assured of the worthleSsuess of other weapons, vents.' itself in slander and malignant falsehood. WIRE WORKING. The concentration of the postal business of Philadelphia at the main office goes into opera tion next month, and will no doubt realize the .calculations of our .enterprising PoStmaster in the increased facilities which he will be able to control for the frequent and safe collection and distribution of mail matter. While Postmaster Bingham is thus perfecting his improvements, Mr. Superintendent Henry Bentley, of the Western Union Telegraph Company, is. working• out, on a local, though not a small scale, the problem of the Postal Telegraph idea. His local telegraph system, which he has been extending for several years, with persevering industry, is now in such com plete working order that the most remote sec tions of the city are brought into " speaking'dis tance" with each other, and almost instanta neous emmunication .ran for all ordinary business and personal purposes, for the low price of ten cents for ten words, at which rate messages are promptly delivered at any point within half a mile of the station re ceiving them. As there are now fifty of these stations, judiciously distributed in all sections of the city and its rural suburbs, the practical benefit of the system will undoubtedly come rapidly into general notice, and while its use will be mainly confined to brief messages, not interfering with the more extended correspon dence which needs the , conveniences of the Postoffice, there will be a very, large work for the local telegraph to do. Philadelphia no* covers such a wide-spread area that whatever tends to promote rapid, ac ciliate and cheap communication is sure to challenge the attention and the patronage of the public at large. Whether Paterfamilias wants an extra plate laid for an unexpected guest, or the merchant wants his clerk at some unwonted 'hour, or the manufacturer,' at hi's central office, desires to communicate with his foreman at the remote shop or factory, or any of the thousand exigencies arise, demanding quick messages and replies, the local telegraph, as it is now working all over the city and neighborhood, will meet the demand. To make this new system of local communi cation thoroughly efficient, it should be freely and liberally tested by our citizens. Our long acquaintance with its experienced and efficient' manager, Mr. Bentley, predisposes us to a feel ing of strong confidence in the careful and prompt transaction of its business. Local telegraphing is no longer an experiment. It' has now been in practical operation in Phila-' delphia for nearly two years, and is an entire success in all its workings. Recently, Mr. Bentley has perfected extended, connections in vaious directions, until, as we have already said, he covers the whole territory in! and. around Philadelphia with his wires, and we, hope to see a very general adoption of this portant addition to our means of intercommu nication. The Morning Post thinks we should not hold Mr. Greeley responsible for the lies in the i'ri bunt about the Buu.E•rtN and the American Press Association, because be delegates his edi *torial power to subordinates. We do not de-' sire to do any injustice to Mr. Greeley, but he has always claimed to be the Editor of the /Tri bune, and upon the principle, qui facit per a/him, facit per se, be is certainly responsible. if not directly and individually for the utterinl; of these outrageous lies, at least for the Tri bune's refusal or failure to retract them. Mr. Greeley gets all the credit when the Tribune tells the truth and does well ; and it is the onl.‘' safe and just principle to lay upon him the bur. den when he permits the great powers of Li. paper to be prostituted by any of his subordi nates to the circulation of slander and false hood. A bill to require the inspection.. of machine made bricks in Philadelphia, at a heavy cost, to the makers, has been introduced into the Legislature. This is one of those mischievous projects which ought not to receive a moment's serious consideration. A communication on the subject will be found in another column. rpREG O'S TEABEERY TOOTH VrASH.— it is the most pleasant. cheapest and beet dentifrice extant.

House.—Mr.. Poland submitted, as a ques tion of privilege, a resolution that Hon. Adolph Bailey, claiming to represent the Third District of Louisiana,,be admitted to a seat in this House, but not to the prejudice of other persons contesting the same. He said that Mr. Bailey held the regular certificate of election from the Govern or of Louisiana. There is a contest before the Committee of Elections as to the validity of his election, but he holds prima facie evidence by a regular certificate. The • case was precisely similar to that of Mr. hbelden, of Louisiana, whom the House had admitted. Mr. Paine Made the point of order that this case had been disposed of under the resolution recently adopted by the House, referring all of the Louisiana contested cases to the COlll mittee on Elections, with power to send for persons and papers, and to determine ques tions of loyalty and legality.

Mr. W ood protested against it as a. danger ous precedent, and moved to lay the resolu tion on the table. Not agreed to, and the re solution was passed. Mr. Randall rose to a question of privilege. He sent a letter from Mr. Lehman, of Phila delphia, to the clerk's desk. The letter states that the remarks of- Judge Kelley, published in yesterday's papers, contain a statement that his (Kelley's) predecessors and colleagues had sold cadetships. As the former colleague of Mr. Kelley, he denied the truth of the state ment. Mr. Randall bad examined the Globe, and found that Mr. Lehman labored nnder a mis take, the word " colleague " not having been used by Mr. Kelly. He had referred only '.4) his predecessors in the Fourth Pennsylvania District, and was glad to state this, for it would he impossible to believe that gentle men like the Hon. Charles J. Inger - Still, Henry D. Moore and others of Kelly's preile- CeSECTS bad ever engaged in such a tragic. Mr.,Kelley said he was greatly obliged to Mr. Randall for correcting the erroneous re ports. Certainly he did not include his former colleagues. He would endorse all that Mr. Randall had said in vindication of the honor of those gentlemen, and would gladly record his faith in the honor and integrity of Mr. Lehman. l be principal reason for his remarks yt,ster ay was the fact that letters had been written to a gentleinan on the Democratic side. etia,.- ing him with having sold a cadetship. lie not willing to rest under the odium whieh properly rested with his predecessor. several gentlemen asked who rerOved letters referred to. Mr. 'Woodward said he had been first to urge Mr. Slocum's resolution for the i.uvesti , gallon, and had then so stated that he blict tr ceived a letter from a lady iu Penesvtvani:A directly charging Judge Kelley with lxtvisg• sold a cadetship, for which $2,000 was paid, Mr. Kelley said there were four Soldiers. Orphans in the Government Axadamies pointed by him • that was the full story of his appointments. His predecessor lead begged Mr. Covode to appoint a protewl of big.
