EVENING BULLETIN.
Wednesday, March SO, 1870.
IK7' Our advertisers have encroached so
upon our space to-day, that we are obliged to
elminge the positions of several departments of
leading matter, as well as a number of adverr
lesements.
HOWLS AIII GROANS.
The Press, of to-day, says : "If the Ameri
can Press Association is the most complete
creation since the flood, why does it bowl so
vociferously at all opposition?" This conun
drum is probably addressed to the EVENING
BULLETIN, and we copy it because it contains
a retnntkable concession, Heretofore we have
considered the American Press Association as
the opposition.; the New York Associated
Press being an old monopoly. But here we
have a prominent tributary of the New York
concern acknowledging that it is in opposition
to the American Press Association.
As for the howling business, it was begun by
the vassals of the New York Associated Press
%ere and hi New York. One of them here
printed a double-leaded lot of stuff about the
BULLETIN, which, after the characteristic
Hardingesque polizy, has been distributed in,
circulars all over Philadelphia. But this has'"
not served its authors the cost of printing;
lunch less the cost of postage. The next
"howl" was from the New York Tribune, and
this was echoed from, the columns of the
Inquirer, the Age, and the Evening Telegraph.
Then came a spiteful, hyena-like howl about the
Buil.cnn, from the New York World, and
this, too, was echoed here.
Only last fall, as extracts we have been pub
lishing show, the Press was among the loudest
bowlers at the Associated Press, and the trashy,
stale stuff that was palmed off on its depend- f
outs as news. The, system has not changed,
but a rival has sprang up that is 'receiving the
'support of many of the papers, all over the
country, that have not been bound in the fet
ters of the New York Associated Press. But
now the Press, after a young, reliable and en
terprising organization has been formed, which
is prospering finely, comes to the relief of the
New ._ - 1..0rk Associated,. Press, which it has
abused so vigorously, - and calls it an, " op
position " to the American Press Associa
tion, but " older, more reliable and more en
terprising. "
This, along with other signs of the times,
shows that the New York monopolists,
alarmed at the rivalry, 'are requiring their tri
butaries in other cities to make vigorous war
upon the American Press Association. If the
latter organization bowls, the other groans.
In the meantime, the people of Philadelphia
have opportunities of comparing the news fur
nished by each, and we are quite content to
stand by the results of the comparison.
THIS TAX BILL.
It is hard to say which is the most humili
ating, the dead silence of nearly every Repub
lican newspaper in Philadelphia, or the active
endorsement of nearly every -Philadelphia
member of the Legislature, in the matter of
the iniquitous enactment of the Tax bill which
Las just oome to light. With the exception of
the EVENING BuLLETrx and the- Post, the
Republican papers of this city are dumb, in the
presence of one of the most unpardonable
frauds ever perpetrated at Harrisburg;
while at the Capitol, where . every
honest man should have risen in his
place to protest against this insult to the city
of Philadelphia, this piece of legislative jug
glery, which is either a direct forgery or an
equally immoral and illegal trick, s , we are
mortified by seeing Senators and Represents,-
thee standing up as virtual sponsors for an act
which can carry nothing but shame and con
fusion with it.
The silence of the Republican papers is
prompted, as we fear, by a false estimate of
*e character of the present Receiver of Taxes,
Mr. Peitz. A feeling which has regard to the
future patronage of the Receiver's office has,
in all probability, much to do with this cul
pable reticence. We have a better idea of Mr.
Peitz than to suppose that he is a party to this
fraud. He-has promptly repudiated it, and de
dared his ignorance of the whole transaction,
and it is a poor compliment to any public °fli
tter to suppose that he desires to prevent the
freest discussion of the affairs of his office. As
we understand Mr. Peitz, although we have
had no communication with him on the sub
ject, this trick at Harrisburg has been perpe
trated without his knowledge or complicity,
and be, like every fair man, is quite as likely
to appreciate the independent self-respect and
sense of public duty which prompts the few to
expose and denounce a fraud, as he is to value
the policy which closes the months of the
Discussions over the relative merits of the
genuine and spurious bills are not yet in or
der. The immediate question is entirely apart
from any consideration of either bill. What
the people demand, and what they assuredly
will have, is the true history of this Tax bill.
Senator Randall,, yesterday, asserted that no
such bill had ever been before the Senate.
This Senator Connell denied, saying that the
bill bad been regularly before the Senate."
Here is a direct issue upon a question of
fact, which the record must decide. Senator
Connell's testimony is affirmative, and implies
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN"PHILAbELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30, 1870,
a knowledge of -- the--history of the bill,
and ii Will, therefore; be for that
gentleman, and for Mr. Henszey, who
joined in his objection, to explain the matter.
How it is to be explained, upon any honest
principle, it is, as yet, impossible to conceive.
For whether the bill which went to the Gov
ernor, and was signed, was manufactured" out
of whole cloth" and deliberately substituted
for the genuine bill, or whether it was secretly
smugg'ed on to the original bill in the , form of
an obscure amendment, and so sneaked
through both houses, the moral is precisely the
same. The proceeding is just as fraudulent,
just as much an outrage upon legislatbie in
tegrity and upon the rights of the people„ of
Philadelphia, upon one hypothesis as the other.
Either plan was practicable, with such a Legis
lature as we now have.
We again urge upon our Philadelphia mem;
hers that they have but one safe policy to pur
sue in this matter. Repeal the fraudulent bill,
and show your constituents that you are not
willing parties to a fraud which, if not now
counteracted, will certainly confront every
man who is connected with it, at the ballot,-
box.
A CHANCE TO DRIVE A BARGAIN.
As traffic in territory has become a favorite
American policy, and as the present administra
tion seems anxious to perpetuate that policy,
would it not be well to enter the market as
sellers as well as buyers ? The Toodles plan of
buying all the odd jobs in sterile, revolutionary,
volcanic and ice-bOund countries that happen
to be put up at internationatauctien; is be
coming monotonous. We Italie been cheated
in one bargain; we have disgraced ourselves
by refusing to make good our bid for another,
and now we are dickering for a third that /
seems to be about the worst of the lot. Mr.
Seward is chargeable with the Alaska middle
and the St. Thomas business, and Gen': Grant
seems to be very,Tanxious to assump-a very un
pleasant responsibility by purcysCsing San Do
mingo. He can do better. ; He can cover him
self with glory and win the' unspeakable grati
tude of his countrymen by negotiating the sale of
the territorial job low 4 hich was knocked down to
us, by that smart the Caar-of -all. the
Russias. Up / in British Columbia there is a
Legislaturecomposed of benighted beings who
fancy thdt annexation of Alaskajo their terri-
Atm / would bring them profit and happiness,
an so they have passed a resolution requesting
/Canada to negotiate with the United States for
the purchase of " Alaska and the State of
Maine." Of course we could not part with the
latter under any circumstances—even as 'an
inducement for somebody to take Alaska off
our bands. It will not do to mix a good and. a
bad bargain together, after the fashion of
traders who sell their horses in pairs,-L--a valu
able one with a worthless one, in order to
work off unsaleable stock. - But if Canada .is
disposed to listen to the petition of the Colum
biana and to treat for Alaska, we
ought to offer any other inducement
that is consistent with safety and
self-respect, to effect the sale. We might even
consent to the re-enactment of the Reciprocity
treaty, or the arrangement of a Customs
Union, if Canada would agree to pay a good
price for the territory ; and we would make a
handsome profit by the transaction, too. Or
we might turn the San Domingo treaty over to
the Dominion statesmen, and prevail upon
them to take that island along with Alaska.
Perhaps they can perceive the advantage of
-paying ten .or tWelve millions of debt, , and of
enrolling among their citizens a million igno
rant negroes who speak another language.
We cannot; but then our experience in man
aging unruly and discontented people has been
more bitter than that of the Canadians, - and
we have less cash to throw away. A tine field
would be opened here, also, for those brave
Canadian ,volunteers who languish for a tight
with the Fenians or somebody. We have had
enough of war to satisfy us ; but the Do
minion troops are actually sick of peace, and,
headed by the famous "Queen's Own" regi
ment, they could win glory and have plenty of
hard work killing off the obstreperous blacks
who cannot perceive the blessedness of Baez'
annexation policy.
If the Canadians will only take Alaska, the
American people will be glad to give them all
these chances, and to make as many similar
sacrifices as possible. What on earth either
the Columbians or the Canadians will do with
Alaska when they get it, we cannot imagine;
but as the former seem anxious to obtain it,
they must have some shrewd, mysterious plan
for utilizing it. We do - not want the secret;
we would rather have them take the territory
and practice on it.. We found during our
military tenure that it produced neither flesh,
nor fowl, nor fish, nor green herb for the use
of men. Even the ice was worthless, and the
natives could not be worked up into voters fit
even for the Democratic party. They are too
degraded even for that purpose; and.
consequently, to -distinguish them as mere
worms—as vile earth and miserable sinners
would be to describe them in too flattering
terms. The seal fishery was Mr. Seward's
strong point; but as this is hardly more profit
able all the year round than a single season's
shad fishing in the Delaware, the chances of
its paying legal interest on the seven millions
outlay seem small. The only ise we made of
Alaska, while we held it with our troops, was
to intoxicate the Indians with commissary
whisky, and then murder them because they
behaved in a disagreeable manner. As the ad
vantages of thie kind of thing were not especially
remarkable, our troops were withdrawn, and
the natives have gone back to their primitive
beverage—train oil—which they drink in peace
and without apprehension of delirium tremens.
But perhaps we did not understand how to
turn the peculiarities of the country and the
people to profitable account; and we are very
willing indeed to permit the Canadians to try
their skill. If they are suceessful,we shall not
be jealous; we will be ready to praise them as
the most extraordinary people upon,the face of
the earth; and to thank Heaven that the object
for which Alaska was created has been-ills
covered at last. Will not Secretary Fish turn
his, attention to this matter and second the
Columbian resolution with, a prompt offer to
trade on easy terms? If he can manage this
business ereditably,he will win a reputation that
will Make the lustre of his predecessor's fame
appear as mere Cimtneriati gloom. He will
earn the heartfelt gratitude of every American
citizen, and stand such a chance for the next
Presidency that even President Grant will have
to give up all hope of enjoying a second term.
BOILER ININPEVUONS.
The House passed a bill, yesterday, virtually
repealing the privileges of the Hartford Boiler
Inspection Company. This new bill, should it
become a law, compels our manufacturers,
nearly one thousand of whom have earnestly
protested against such compulsion, to leave
their steam boilers to the inspection of the City
Inspector, irrespective of the Mulford Com
pany. Apart from the manifest injustice of
this legislation, and the narrow , policy which
seeks to drive business concerns from-Phila
delphia, there is an amount of positive - danger
to the community involved which calls for the
most serious consideration.
.We have no class of men in Philadelphia
whose judgments are clearer, or entitled to
more weight, than the practical mechanics and
manufacturers whose enterprise, skill, expe
rience and intelligence have contributed so
largely to the growth and prosperity of the city.
Among the leading men of this class the opinion
is almost unanimous that the competition af
forded, by the right of inspection held by the
Hartford Inspection Company is of the very
highest importance, iu securing a careful / and
continued attention to the condition the
thousands of steam boilers scattered it over,
or rather under, Philadelphia.
The Hartford Company has z a. much greater
'responsibility than the Cityrnspector, in the
fact that it insures bupiugs, machinery and
stock against damage by boiler explosions, and
is therefore pecuily interested to a heavy
amount, in making thorough and frequent in
spections. ',l)e policy which compels our
manufactmers who insure with the Hartford
Compady to put an additional fee into the
pocket of the City Inspector, when they, who
cce by far the hest judges and the most In
terested in proper boiler inspections, are not
only satisfied with, but prefer the inspection
of the Hartford Company, is illiberal and op
pressive, and, at the same time, very dan
gerous. We hope the Senate will consider
these facts, before acting upon this bill.
CABLE "FABRICATIONS"
That sublime and supercilious creature, the
Associated Press, which professes to own the
Western Union Telegraph Companyithe two
ocean cables, the newspaper business of Ame
rica, and things generally, has just given a
splendid specimen of its "superiority" over its
young rival, the American Press Association.
On the 18th inst. we published a cable tele
gram, received from the American Press ABBO
- announcing a dreadful disaster in the
sinking of the mail steamer Normanby, by a
collision with the steam packet Mary, off the
Guernsey coast. Between twenty and thirty
lives were lost by this sad accident. This news
is now fully confirmed by the arrival of foreign
papers of the 19th Inst.
And yet, the Associated .Press has never yet
told its readers a word about this disaster. On
the morning after its publication by the Ameri
can Press Association, the New York Herald
slipped twoor three lines from our despatch
into its telegraphic columns, and a few days
laier, the New York Times mentioned the fact,
without crediting it to the American Press As
sociation. And there the matter rested. A
most important item of news, the loss of a mail
steamer, close to the English coast, with nearly
all on board of her, was, promptly communi
cated by the new and wide-awake organization
which has been forced into existence by the ty
ranny of the Associated Press ,monopoly, and
that monopoly has not yet found out that any
such disaster occurred.
This is by no means the first time that the
old-f ogey concern has been badly beaten by its
enterprising competitor, and whenever Mr.'
Simonton ventures to talk again about cable
" fabrications " and to charge the American
• Press Association with publishing " bogus '
despatches, we shall take the liberty to ask him
how it came to pass that the Associated Press
never found out that there had been a fatal
collision in the English Channel, while the
American Press Association promptly reported
it on the day after it occurred.
THE MERCANTILE LIBRARY.
The people who have been agitating the
question of opening the .Mercantile Library on
Sunday have developed an unexpected degree
of weakness and want of faith in their cause.
The Directors having fairly met the issue by
submitting the question to a vote of the stock
holders, the original movers in this agitation
have taken alarm, and are resorting to, a
factious sort of litigation to prevent, a settle
ment of the matter by • a vote of the stock
holders. Failing to get any encouragement
fronillie Supreme Court; they have dragged
the case into the Common Pleas, where they
will probably meet no better success. For it is
so plain , a proposition that this is a domestic
question, to be determined by a fair vote of
all the parties interested, that it is not likely
that the Courts will interfere with it.
We have not the least idea what the senti
ments of the stockholders of the Mercantile
Library are upon this subject, nor do we think
it necessary to express any opinion, pro or con,
upon the main question. But it is likely to
strike all lookers-on that this appeal to the
Courts, in the face of a pending election, is a
confession of weakness not well calculated to
improve the chances of that side of the con
troversy.

WastinsomoN, March 30.—Private advices
from Cincinnati say that there is a good deal
of local excitement over the , contest for the
election of members of the Se.hool Board, to be
held on Monday next, and that politics are al
most mainly ignored, tbe issue being Open the
question -whether the Bible shall be excluded
from the public schools or not.
The Catholics are making a determined
fight, but the prospects are , that they will be
defeated, and a School Board will be elected
in favor of continuing the reading of the
Bible in the schools.

General Butler is expected to report back
the Texas bill to the Rouse to-day from the
Reconstruction Committee, with the recom
mendation that the House concur in the Sen

Senator Trumbull's friends say he is a good
deal annoyed at Mr. Sherman's success yester
day, in getting the Senate to lay aside the
Georgia bill, and take up the one admit
ting Texas, and that the matter is likely to
cause a severance of the hitherto friendly
personal re ations existing between them.

PorTsviLLE, Pa., March 30.—At a meeting
held some few days ago, the workingmen re
solved.to resist the new basis offered, and to
demand a continuation of work on the same
terms as before. The operators insist on their
accepting their terms, and in consequence
a strike of the men will take place on the first
of April. The strike will probably be confined
to this and the Mahanoy Reigion, though
strong inducements will be made to the Lehigh
to join with them.
In anticipation of the coming strike, a num
ber of men, opposed to the strike, are seeking
work in the Lehigh region, showing that all
do not enter upon the strike with the same
spirit, or with the same hope of success as
that which has characterized all former ones.
The Mahanoy region will also go out on theist
of April—which is accounted for by the inte
rests of the two regions being the same.

Fraudulent Income lleturna-••Great
Frauds Perpetrated.
Considerable excitement has attended - the
announcement of fraudulent returns of in
comes made by several of our prominent busi
ness men. In the case of Robert Mitchell, of
the firm of Mitchell & Robinson, the exten
sive furniture-manufacturing company-, more
details have come to light. Frauds said to in
clude returns for five years, or since 1864, are
developing. During the time designated Mr.
Mitchell returned $338,000, while the books of
the establishment show the profits to have
been 411,321,000—making a difference of $983,-
000, on which the tax, amounting to $49,150,
has not been paid. Commissioner Delano, on
receiving the report of Special Agent
Parker concerning these gigantic frauds,
ordered Assessor Storms to reassess'
Mr. Mitchell for the term of four,
years from 1864 to 1868, provided he would
waive the statute of limitations relatiug to as
sessments; otherwise to reassess him for 1868,
annex the penalties,and commence a criminal
prosebution - for fraudulent returns made
during the previous years. By advice of coun
sel, Mr. Mitchell refused to waive, whereupon
he was summoned to appear for examination..
He will be prosecuted as soon as the account,
ant can give a full report of the aoudition of
the hooks. The finn have extensive connec

Some mortals since special agents were
sent from Washington by Commissioner,
fano to ferret out frauds perpetrated in the
West by a powerful whisky ring, during the,
years 1867, 1868 and 1860. It is given out by
the revenue officials of thin city that immense
frauds have been discovered, and evidence se

ME COURTS.
The District-Attorney Case.
In the report of the proceedings in refer
ence to this case, printed by us on Monday,
there were some important errors. The fol
lowing is •a
,correct account of what did
occur:
The case of the contested election of District Attorney
was before the Court of Quarter Seissions ou Monday,
that day having been fixed by the Court to hear the pe
tition of Mr. tiheppard for a rehearing of the case.
- W hen the case was called' Mr. Giblioteir stated - that he
did not know how the present question could be rafted.
or auy newproceedings- inaugurated, after•the affirm•
since of the , decree by the Supremo Court, and the remit
titur of the record. He did not wish to be placed in the
position of cesning voluntarily into Court, and if any ac
tios was to be hue, he thought be should have notice of
the rule or 1134t1011, or whatever it wee, in the usual way.
Mr. Gibbous thought there was nothing for him to do at
present lot to present the record tie remitted from the
Hupreme Court. affirming the decree of this Court, and
to t le bls objections to any further proceedings.
Mr. Gibbons then presented his objections in writing,
11,11101101rh :
Awl now, to wit, March Itti. 1870, Charles Gibbons.
istrict••ttorney for the city, and county or Philadel
phia, objects to any further proceedings to this case for
thelollowing reasons:
F,rq—Because this Court, on the feth of October,
ten, finally decreed that the raid Charles Gibbons was
duly elected to be District-Attorney of the said city and
county, at the general election held on th e second Tues
day in October. IlkZ.
Served—Because he( the said Charier Gibbons) did, on
the 2tth of October, 1659, duly take and subscribe the
oath of of fi ce of District Attorney for the said city - ::and
county, fn the Court of CIALML , I) Pleas for the said city
and comity ,and did then enter on the duties of the said
oftlec.whicn he has ever since continued to perform with
out hindrance or otoection.
Tatra—Because upon a writ of certiorari sued out of
the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania try Furman Shep
pard, keg., and brought into this coin t on the MI of
October, Mil, and upon the whole record of the proceed
ings is this court, duly riurned to the Supreme Court
on the Ltd of Janitor), :r7O. the said :Supreme Court did
make a tidal decree 44tiiiitie the decree of this Court.
hide said record, h the said final Judgment and de
croo of the said Supreme Court. lies been duly certified
and remitted to (WS court according to law.
Judge Milton said that the case teas now before the
Court nn the petitku of Mr. Sheppard, tiled after the de
cree had been entered in Otis Court. and before the re
( ord had actually been returned to the Supreme Court,
and which bad not been die posed of.
Mr. Gibbouo—The question as to the right of the re
spondent to tile that petition was aLgued before this
Court at the time, but tin opinion was given. If any
thing has to be, done . with it now the record ought to
show hew it gets before the Court. No notice, or rule
hid tee en *erred upon him. and le• believed none hail
been t- ranted. It the p:irtira S. be heard now on
the Fieir len, the fair and proper CeUrfie Is for them to ap-
DI firr a rule to show rause.
:T. hied le said Mr. 31 onn had notice. and today wan
tun for the argument by consent of Mr. Gibbons own
couLtel.
GiLimps replied that Mr. Maim had informed him
that the case bad been hard for to-day.aud it was
upon that information he 'vat here to object to the pro•
c , edlng at he had done. Ile had expressed his opinion
to Mr. Mann that the case was ended. by the decree of
the nupreme as could not be a motiou for a
tow f ter the affirmance of ajudgment upon writ of
error. For this Vet:A/pion he had no counsel ; but he de•
surd that tehateter had been or might be done ehould•
appear of record . and that he should have notice.
Judge tudlove said the Court could and would see that
the roc: rd ass properly prepared. 'I he question now is
whether dm tienitirrer to the jurisdiction of the Court
should he first disposed of.
Judge Allison said that as the petition fort' rehearing
bad not been diQposcti of befors the rt cord was removed
to the euprt nie Court, but lett undecided, as the record
showed. his• idea of the case had been that it
was not afr-cted by the affirmance of The
decree by the Supreme Court. Hut that court
affirmed as touch only as had been done by this court.
lie did not mean, however, to express au opinion on
that point now. After the decision of the Suprenie
Court. he et:L.:ewe d to . Mann that this petition and
answer should be disposed of, and to day had been fixed
.for it. AS Mr. Mann had acted throughout the whole
epee. he supposed he elaitinued to be the counsel of Mr.
Gibbons.
Mr. Gibbone replied that Mr. Mann had notified him
of the proceedings, but the (location as to thejurisdic
tine of the Court, raked by the pepor ha had filed thin
morning, was preliminary. If the Court insisted upon
ft. tie wee ready t• argue it himself, and would go on
now, disagreeable as it was to be forced tuto the posi
tion of arguing his own case.
After some further discumtion between Mr. Biddle,Mr.
Desert. Idr. Mann, and Mr. Gibbons. the Court fixed
Friday next fur the argument of the question of juris.
diction, and of the petition heretofore tiled by Mr. tihep-
Pard.

to authorize the street to be opened in accord

Speaker Strang, in answer to an inquiry,
said the amendment had been properly in

NEW Yonx, March 30, 1 P. M.--Affairs lor
Wall streeLto-day show a decided improve

able change is due mainly to the prospective

worth of bonds were offered at 106.44a108.19.
The steamship Hammonia brought 4,000,001

for the transfer of the Brooklyn Navq-Yard:
The Senate took up the joint resolution pro-:
Tiding for the appointment of a jointselect
committee of the two Houses to consider all.
questions relating to Indian affairs,
Hr. Thurman addressed the senate in oppo-,
sition to the measure.
Mr. Morrill (Vt.) followed on the same side,
and spoke briefly against the establishment of
more Joint committees, saying we might as
well have but one legislative body if every sub
ject was to be referrcd to joint committees of
the two Houses.
Mr. Corbett advocated the measure, believ
. ing it would be for the best interests of the,
Indian tribes to appoint this Committee.
The morning Lour having expired, the
Chair announced the pending order to be The
question of privilege on the admission or
Adelhert Ames as Senator from Mississippi.
Mr. Sumner moved to go into Executive

HoosE.---On motion of Mr. Randall, re.so
lotions were adopted eulogistic of the - lite
Gen. Thomas, expressing regret at his loss
and condoling with his family.
The Senate bill removing the political dish,
bilities of certain persons in 'Virginia was
taken up and passed. Mr. Brooks tried to de-,
feat it by dilatory motions, on the ground that
he was opposed on general principles to such
a mode of dispensing pardons.
Mr. Butler, from the Reconstruction Com
mittee, reported back the Senate bill to admit
Texas with a recommendation that the House
concur in the amendments. He explained
that the Senate had struck out the section in
the House bill which provided that the bill
should not affect the original guarantee, :
under which Texas was annexed to the Union.
Those guarantees permitted the division of
Texas into four, more States there without
slavery. He had inserted this proviso lest
some question might be , raised"3iB' . to the - effect`
of the bill on the original guarantees.
In answer to a question by Mr. Brooks, Mr.
Butler said that in his jpdgment this bill does
not alter, change or affett any of the original.
provisions or guarantees under which Texa..s.
was admitted, no matter whether the proviso
was retained or stricken out. Of course all
the gentlemen would agree that the slavery
guarantee was void under the operation of
the constitutional amendment.
Remarks were made by Messrs. Brooks and..
Lawrence.
Mr. Brooks suggested a Committee of, Coia-/
ference should be appointed, who should agree
