The Goyemor’s veto message, returning the hill which prohibited the erection of buildings on Independence Square, is a clear, legal argu ment, which will undoubtedly be sustained by the courts, if the Legislature should be so un wise as to pass the bill over the veto, as Mr. Davis yesterday threatened to do. There is yet the other Independence Square hill to be vetoed, which pretends to provide for submitting the question of the public buildings to the people, but forbids them from voting for Independence Square, if they wish to do so. This bill is so much more absurd than the one vetoed yesterday that there can be no doubt of its meeting the same fate. It strikes at the root of all our system of popular elections, and is as great an insult to the people of Philadel phia as the Tax Collector bill, or any other similar piece of legislation which has been ef fected by the present Legislature, Among the various comments of the morn ing papers on the Governor’s veto, the most remarkable is an argument made by the Post, that the new Court House does not occupy “ the Square south of Independence Hall,” but iB u nearly east.” This is a fine point. Strictly speaking, the new Court House lias the ap pearance of being W. S. W. from the State House. The building from which it is « nearly east,” and which has been mistaken by the Post for Independence Hall, is the new Ledger Building. The new Court House most as suredly occupies a considerable portion of the “sacred soil” south of Independence Hall, and when it was placed there, although the whole community shuddered at its architectural ugliness, nobody was seriously palsied, nor were the ashes of anybody’s grandmother dis turbed thereby. Apropos of this veto of the Governor’s, it should be noticed that a bill has been introduced into the Stater Senate to create a Board of Com missioners to erect publie buildings upon Penn Square, aud postponed on the objection of Mr. Nagle. We are glad to see a Philadelphia Senator interposing to check this Penn Square project, and trust that the other city Senators, Messrs. Connell, Henszey and Watt, will do equally well. The business community of this city are totally opposed to the violent disrup tion of business relations which would result from the removal of the court houses and other public cilices from the business centre of the city with a view to plant them amougst> tiie dwellings of Penn Square. As the men who are engineering this change are eager and active, and are believed to. be using “ poten tial” arguments, our business men look to their own immediate representatives at Harris burg,"and especially to the city Senators, to take care of their interests and see that their schemes do not succeed. Mr. Connell, as one of the oldest and most experienced Senators, has much weight in both houses, and, in a matter relating entirely to Uie city, country members are apt to de pend much upon the city delegation. In all these seasons, Mr. Connell owes it to the intel ligent and prominent class of men whom he bas always desired more especially to repre sent, to make an effort in'their behalf in this quarter. Whatever existed to the se lection of Square on the ground of saeredness has frden conciliated by Mr. Jo sephs’ bill appointing Commissioners to build on Wasbingtbn Square ; a magnificent site, and wholly free from all possible objections upon any sc6re. The idea of blocking up Broad street, with a ■ mass of buildings in the centre, and bending it round towards Fifteenth -and Thirteenth streets, is one that will not easily be tolerated by Philadelphians, who are becoming both proud of Broad street and jeal ous of it; and to place court-roams directly over a pavement, so that our windows must be closed, even in summer, in order that voices may not be heard, is an ahsurdity. In the future, the city delegation at Harris burg will be held to their responsibilities much more closely than in the past, both by the city press and by the concerted action of individual citizens*; and the course taken now In this and other important matters by the members of that delegation will have much to do with their re tention of their present positions. • CABLE ENTERPRISE. The New York Associated Press has been galvanized into extraordinary activity by tire novel sensation of competition. It has gone along, for years, like a lazy boa constrictor, swallowing up American journalism in a sleepy, lordly way, with very little enterprise, and with no care either for the public or for its dependants, until the young and agile American Tress Association has worried it in to a sort of grotesque activity that looks al most like energy, and the consequence is tire series of startling despatches, foreign and do mestic, with which it is now regaling the public; It is quit* impossible to keep the run of-all these amusing performances of the old New York monopoly. The most that we can pos sibly do is to treat our readers to specimen bricks. Here is one of the latest. Yesterday the Associated Press furnished its papers with the following fresh sporting item by cable: “ London, March 31,1870.—The four-oared boat-race between the ‘Benforth Tyne Crew’ and the Bt. John (N. B.) 1 Paris Crew,* which was negotiated by Walter Brown, has been definitely fixed to come off', at the close of THE DAII/iT EVENING BOU.ETIN—PHILADELPHIA. SATURDAY. APRILS., July, on the St, Lawrence river, near Mon treal. The Tyne Grew agrees to row with out a coxswain, the‘New Bruns wickers also adopting the same American custom in row ing- i.r.,- « . Ci.: The New "I ork Sunday News, of February B7tb, gave us the same intelligence, more than a month ago, thus: . i',The four-oared rowing matcb for: $5,000 a side; Bud the championship of tho world, be tween the English crew of Newcastle-upon- Tyne and tho ‘ Paris ’ crew of St. John, N. 8., has been settled, and the 1 face is to take Slace at the Labhine Kcgatta, nine miles from lontreal, C.E. in July. The match resulted out of a challenge put forth by Walter Brown, the champion oarsman, on his ,return from .England. The,‘Paris’ crew at once accepted the sweeping defiance, and the match after a few technical points had been settled, was at once arranged.” ‘When Mfi Simonton perfects his galvanized cable arrangements, we shall probably have his report of the sinking of the Normandy, and other interesting matters, of which his pa pers and their readers are, as yet, in ignorance. Tlie American Press Association, although yet in its infancy, has started out upon a liberal, business-like plan, determined that there shall be no monopoly of news, and that it will furnish intelligence from all parts of the world, to all newspapers that choose to pay for it, at low fates and with the utmost accuracy and despatch. This is its main design. Inci dentally, it is heaping coals of fire upon the vassals of the New York Associated Press, by stiring up that fossil monopoly into at least a semblance of temporary life and activity. HONORS TO GENEBAE THOMAS. The demonstration at the Academy of Music, on Monday evening next, in honor of ; the dead hero, George 1 H. Thomas, will be a most imposing - and interesting occasion. Although General. Thomas won his great re nown upon Western battle-fields, his name is held in grateful remembrance and honor by the loyal people of the whole country, and no where more so than in Philadelphia. The meeting at fife Academy will draw to gether large numbers of the companions-in arms of the departed soldier, and thousands of others, glad to pay their tribute of honor to his memory. General Meade will preside, and a number of distinguished gentlemen, in military and civic life, will address the meeting. This demonstration, which has been arranged under the auspices of the Grand Army of the Repub lic, w ill be attended by the several pftsts of that organization, many of whose members fol lowed General Thomas through the triumphant campaigns which placed his name high among the true heroes of the great War for the Union. When Mr. George Peabody was finally hurried, after a protracted series of funeral ceremonies, everybody hoped he would be per mitted to rest quietly in his grave. There was a report in circulation to the effect that Boston intended to indulge in some further obsequies, but everybody was so tired of this mortuary business, and so weary of the newspaper ac counts of it, that the Boston people were in duced to abandon the undertaking. While the ceremonies were in progress in New England, the Associated Press deluged the country with long dispatches which were interesting enough at first, but wbich were continued until the people were sick of seeiug Mr. Pea body’s name- in the papers, and felt as much disgusted as the Maine Legislator did when he said that if- the funeral lasted much longer he would regret that Mr. Peabody died. But the Associated Press considered that it bad a good tiling that supplied material for dispatches, which atoned for the failure of the monopoly to obtain important news in other.directions. And so, after Mr. Peabody’s remains were placed in the grave, the Associated Press, loth to abandon them,distributed among its subjects information to the effect that the tomb had been robbed of the coffin ornaments and of other valuable property buried in it. Of course, this was not true; but it gave the As sociated Press an- opportunity to supply a couple of despatches upon the favorite subject of Peabody; to create a small sensation, and to fill 'the public mind with dread that tlie familiar name would appear again regularly in the papers, in contradictory, and explanatory reports. The American Press Association did not -have this item; conse quently the exultant joy which filled ■ the souls of the vassals of the Associated Press yesterday morning, as they glanced over the news columns of rival papers and saw that the vampyrical despatch was not there, is turned to mourning. The mistake was characteristic. While the old monopoly is prowling among cemeteries—per haps to provide for its coming dissolution^—the American Press Association is out in the world, procuring fresh, important and interest jpg intelligence for its owners, The Inquirer has at last been shamed into noticing the fraudulent Tax bill, but it has nothing to say against the method of its pas sage, except the endeavor to throw the respon sibility on the Governor, who was so mani festly deceived in the matter. It discusses the merits of the bill, but not the method of its passage, and then remarks, with the virtue of the veritable- Pecksniff himself, “The press generally has endeavored to do its duty by de nouncing the infamous plans of special legisla tion which are put through at Harrisburg every year.” Whatever “ the press generally” may have done in this direction, —and it has done much,—the Inquirer's dead silence for the last week, in reference to this most no torious “ plan of special legislation” does not look much like any very exalted idea of public duty. The question of the Receiver of Taxes advertising had to be digested first, and this was too much for the Harrisburg stomach, already weakened by the fearful and distressing dißgorgement of $1,200, returned to Mr. Swain, under the comp .lsory example of Mr. Childs. Governor Geary yesterday vetoed the Burd Asylum bill, taking precisely the grounds ad vanced by the Evening Bulletin, that the proposed legislation vitiated the will of the testatrix. The case was such an unusually clear and simple one that it is remarkable that it should have passed even the careless scrutiny of the very careless Committee to which it was referred.
