NEW VIEW OF THE REBEU.IOX.
One Mr. Francis J. Parker, of Boston,- has
written a letter to Senator Bevels, which is
going the rounds of the Democratic press, in
which he denies that the Southern negroes
were oil the side of, or rendered any assistance
to, the Union cause. He asserts that they were
actively on the side of their masters, “building
and repairing the railways—driving the army
wagons—growing cotton, which supplied the
Confederate treasury with war’s sinews—and
food for the Confederate commissariat. They
were making powder, easting cannon, building
ships, mining Saltpetre and iron, serving the
troops in the field, and the sick and wounded
in the hospitals. Yes, the blacks were feed
ing, clothing, arming and practically recruiting
the very armies whose success was their deeper
bondage.”
Mr. Francis J. Parker, of Boston, is hugely
ind ignant at the negroeß for all this. He com
plains that
“ If a dozen or two‘of your intrepid race
could have been brought at critical periods,
under cover of the night, to tear up the raila
which alone enabled the insurgents to concen
trate their forces upon us, or occasionally,
here and there, to fire the Confederate depots
of armß, clothing, forage and supplies, or the
bTidgcs upon important lines of railway (all of
■whicii would have implied but littlq personal
risk) the war would have "been far. shorter;
but no snch aid came to our cause, our tri
umph was over the united power of the South,
mam and female, white and black, for all were
combined against vs.”
Boston is filled with funny men. Beingthe
hub of the intellectual universe, the Attica of
American cleverness, it is nO Wonder that it is
filled with funny men. The hub consists of
concentric circles of solid wit, narrowing down
frem the broad circumference of ordinary
Yankee smartness, to the compressed centre of
subtle cleverness, which Is just now expressed
in the acute demonstration of Mr. Francis J.
Parker.
There are many people, principally residing
in Boston, who - are firmly persuaded that the
great aggregation of hum hr, supposed to be
represented by the “ Cambridge set,” precludes
the possibility of there being anything more
than some few scattered crumbs of the article
left for the outside world. Occasionally a
Boston missionary packs his wallet with a
choice selection of a winter’s productions of
native wit and humor, and goes forth on a
benevolent journey to the outside barbarian
world, enlightening, instructing and elevating
the un-Bostonian heathen with those flashes of
solid humor, which are accounted, in those
Northern latitudes, to he the quintessence of
human fun.
Mr. Francis ,T. Parker is one of these de
voted missionaries. He does not actually
carpet-hag himself upon us, but he -writes a
letter, which is all the same thing. Following
the iconoclastic fashion of the times, which
has demolished so many of the dearest idols of
history, Mr. Parker denies the loyalty of the
colored person. He berates that celebrated
character for his failure to get up insurrections
during the Bebellion, and argues therefrom
that he was wholly on the rebel side. Bet as
laugh! '
True is it, ok, Parker, that the negro did not
burn and destroy depots, bridges or army sup
plies. Possibly, if he bad “ got his hand in,”
in the way Mr. Parker suggests, he would have
extended his operations to the out-houses aud
even to the dwellings of his masters and mis
tresses. A grand field opens to the imagina
tion, as we fancy the benighted colored persons
following out the Parkerian tactics, by way of
proving his love of freedom and the Union.
Arson, plunder, bloodshed, outrage,—oh,
Parker! Parker! what the. South gained, and
what the North lost, for want of your timelier
proclamation of the colored ; erson’s proper
duty 1
Clearly, Parker Is an unbeliever. To him,
the “ intelligent contraband ” is a delusion and
a myth. Robert Small, running the Planter
ont of Charleston, is, to him, the merest fiction.
The “ B’ack Regiments ” at Port Hudson were
the offspring of a poet’s fancy, and the thou
sand tales of negro sympathy, shelter,guidance,
aid and comfort, which our soldiers, escaping
from- Southern prisons, brought home with
them, were all so much stuff and nonsense.
At least Francis Parker says so ; aud he, being
a Boston man, ought to know.
But nobody can follow this Parkerian humor,
to do it any justice; We have not been edu
cated up to the standard of Boston cleverness,
and possibly we do not see the point at all.
rerhaps Senator Revels may develop it. We
hope he will “ make an eflort.”
THE BAIEWAT TRACKS.
The following remarks from the German
town Telegraph are very much to the point,
relative to a subject on which there is practi
cally no difference of opinion:
“ One of the worst impediments to travel in
Philadelphia is the abominable condition of
the pavement between the rails. It is fre
quently beveled from tho centre, and the peb
bles are worn as smoothly nearly as ice. The
horses in private carriages are constantly
slipping and sometimes fall upon the track.
The other day we saw one of the horses at
tached to a car. in Fourth below Walnut, not
withstanding his corked shoes, fall heavily
upon thetrack and roll outside of it! The
strain which such a road mast have upon
these poor horses, which of itself ought to bo
sufficient as a matter of humanity and
economy, to improve it, to say nothing of the
injury, sometimes of a serious nature, it must
have upon private animals ought to impel the
.Legislature to make it compulsory on the part
.of.these monopolies to substitute wood pavo
jnenta. To let it remain as it is,is a gross out
rage upon the rights of the people, who are
thus.deerived ol any tolerable passage-way
in their own highways which they are heavily
Uktt i J.o support. ”
/-'^THE.DAILY" EVipfINGRIILEET]^—PHILADEMffiIA^&i^^
The state of tlie p&ving betwfeen the rails In
our streets, ,ip actually past endurance, and .p
i Cpiedy rhtrat be found for it. Councils but a
Tew weeks ago passed a, resolution request'ug
the Legislature to affix a positive condition to
al|;nowJ giflnU; df rajltyay ChArters, ithMiiifl&J
cobble-stone pavement should he laid between
the tracks, -but nd attention seeWs tohave been
pajd Jo tbif, most. proper, request. Wo haye .
alsoihope'd 'that the “ Citizens’ Association” ■■
would make this one of their very first subjects;
of action.
It is a simple fact, without any exaggeration,
that to at least one-half the horses in use m
the city, the pulling over these slippery stones
must be a constant-torture, and they are l
rapidly lamed and destroyed. So terrible is
this destruction, that a railway president lately
admitted to a member of Councils that a wood
paveffient between the tracks, would pay fo r
itself in the. saving of horses,: within five
years!
NORTH BBOAD STREET.
The condition of the roadway of North
Broad street, above the “Connecting Railroad”
bridge, is simply Shameful. 1 Between three
and four years ago the old dirt-road on North
Broad street was destroyed as a prehide to
macadamizing it, and this Work of macadami
zing, that ought to have been fully completed
in twelve months at most, is still unfinished.
All of this part of the street is one vast slough;
a mass of deep, sticky clay mud, through
which very lew wheels ever attempt to pene
trate,-so .that, for all practical purposes, ; the
public has been debarred from the uso of Die
Street for a period of nearly four years, with a
great deal yet to be done, so that the' term is
hot yet complete. How it is that contractors
are allowed, for their own convenience, ta pro
crastinate in this way is more than anybody
can understand; certainly they could, not do
so if our.city officials did their duty in follow
, ing them up..
| Now, wheil the weather permits, and when
there should be a strong force at wqrkjto.com
plete the macadamizing;'there is neither a
man, nor cart, nor horse engaged at it, and
there is every prospect that many months at
least, will intervene before the street is fit for
travel. To a point about three-quarters -of a
mile above the Germantown Railroad, the
street is in excellent order—above that it is a
quagmire.
H«BE SECRET LEGISLATION.
i Our readers will doubtless have noticed that
a; bill has passed both Houses giving the Union
Passenger Railway most exclusive privileges
over up-town streets. It is a positive fact that
the whole of this.part of the hill teas concealed
from the members of the limine. Only the first
part of the bill was read, and the members al
lowed it to pass because it was understood to
give only some unimportant privileges of con
nection at the southern end of the road. The
sections giving the important up-town privileges
were never read to the House nor passed by its'
members, nevertheless a bill in the form in
which it has appeared ip the public pt‘ ts is
certified to as having actually passed both
House and Senate. Nothing is now too had
to be done at Harrisburg.
Some ot the Democratic papers seem to la
bor under the impression that" the friends of
General O. O. Howard are anxious to prevent
the investigation, proposed by Fernando Wood,
into the management of the Freedmen’s Bit
rcau. So far from this being true, there is a
general desire among those who have sup- :
ported and defended General Howard to have
this investigation made, and to’ have it made in
a complete and exhaustive manner. If it shall
be proved that General Howard has perpetrated
any fraud or betrayed in any manner the high
trust reposed in him, he will fall lower than
any public man of his time; even lower than
Fernando Wood,, his accuser.. But we have
perfect faith in his integrity. - General Howard
is a Christian, a soldier and a gentleman, who
has won a warm place in the popular heart by
exhibition of niorgl qualities which are con-r
spiciious because ithey are rare in public life,
and by consistent practice of those religions
principles to which he has given- open ad
herence. Corrupt and dishone&t men like
Fernando Wood 'regard a man of this stamp
with that jealous hatred which is always
excited by consciousness of infinite inferiority.
The masses regard such men with reverence
and affection; and they desire to have this
investigation made so that the smallest shadow
of suspicion against General Howard may be
removed, and the contrast, between his purity
aud the foulness of Fernando Wood may be
made' stronger. If the investigation is con
ducted fairly there will be no need to fear the
result.
It has been reported, though as yet no one
knows wbat lias been done at Harrisburg aud
what has not, that a charter has been given for
a railroad along Wissahlckon Turnpike. If
tbjs lias been done, it is simply an outrage- as
great as if the privilege bad been given over
Landsdowne Driye, or any other road through
the park. If done, it is probably one of the
many hundred bills passed by their titles, and
of the-contents of which no one will kuow
anything until they are published, and least oi
all the members who passed them. Legisla
tion is become a mere farce. No man's pro
perty is secure, no rights are too sacred to be
invaded,no scandal too great to be perpetrated.
Nothing short of turning the Susquehanna
through tlifc* balls of the Legislature could
purify them after the deeds of the past winter.

ted, and that in localities where the Unionists
were strongest, the rebels were maltreated in.
the Same manner. The Governor recounted
the tacts which led him to send his message to
the Legislature regarding mob violence,
and said that the failure on the pan
of that body to invest him
with the authority to appoint to office and
suppress disturbances had undoubtedly re
sulted in an Increase In the disorders. He jus
tiiled his course in calling upon the President
for troops, and said unless the. military arm

no abatement in the outrages daily perpe
trated. In response to the question from
Fernando Wood whether he tGovernor
Senter) considered General Forrest a man
of veracity, and would believe his state
ment* on tlieTennessee troubles. Gov. Senter
declined to give a positive answer, one way or
another, for tho reason, he said, that Gen-
Forrest was a shooting character, and might
inliict personal injury if he told the committee
his opinion of him. Without finishing the
examination of Gov. Senter the Committee

. Resolutions were .presented declaring the
law impolitic, because it.restricts the: laborer
in the free use or sale of his time, and in
creases the cost of production. Also, that the
average health oftne operatives is as good as
that of other classes of laborers/and that the
severity of the labor'depends rather upon the
kind than the number of hours employed, ant
that the present time is ipopportune for such
■legislation, because manufacturers are de
pressed and capitalists are reluctant to embark
in new enterprises, and the bill would throw

cities where no such restrictions prevail., ■,

The Strike of Compositors.
Oincthnati, April 9.—The war between the
publishers and printers of the Commercial still
continues, and has even assumed' a more for-'
midable aspect The printer* have formed
guards at the door of the office, and at all the
railway depots, to endeavor to dissuade a
new applicants and members of the craft from
toe interior points trom applying for work.
They have thus captured and sent back or
taken inlo the Union quite a number. The
incoming train from Chicago, which is sup
posed to have on board-a large number
designed for the above purpose, is the subject
of the special attention of the guards.
Mr; Halstead expresses his determination to
continue the contest for supremacy in his own
office, even if the paper has to be issued on
a half sheet regularly. To-day’s editions.how
ever, were issued as usual. The office is at
present full qf job-office hands, and some fe
male compositors have been set at work at
“ case,” and work will be continued day and
night. Meals areserved in the establishment.
It is understood the proprietors have of
fered a premium of thirty dollars to good
printers. On the part of the strikers it is said
that astratageticai move will be undertaken
to wear the contest out. Union printers will
accept the terms and fill the office, and -in a
few weeks strike again.
The Sundav issue of the paper will, it is ex

The Frenen and Austrian Notes on the
Keheinn—What is Maid of the Papal Be
pliCN. •
(From Ilia Memorial Diplomatique, of Pari», March ZS.
Our correspondent at Borne calls our par
ticular attention toa fact which, according to
a version accredited in diplomatic circles
there, mast necessarily have modified the
Pontifical reply to Count Daru’s despatch. The
Austrian Ambassador to the Holy See having
declared to Cardinal Antonelli that the
Cabinet of Vienna, while placing itself in the:
same point of view as France for the appre
ciation of the consequences likely to
result from the adoption of the twenty
one canons by the Council,had no intention of
accrediting a special envoy, the Cardinal is
supposed to have seen the propriety of draw
ing up his reply to France in a language calcu
lated to allay the common apprehensions of
the two great Catholic Powers, leaving aside
the question of an ambassador,on which their
opinions diverged. The Papal answer, when
closely examined,''constitutes at ohee a direct
reply to France and an indirect one to Aus
tria. The despatch of Count do Beust, who
was the first to protest ngalnat the twenty-ono
canons, was, although of a confidential
cbarncter.aceompaiiied by a menace of naturo
to make % deep impression on the Court of
Home, as the Austrian Minister plainly de
clared to the Holy See the firm intention of
tho Imperial government, to interdict the pro
mulgation in Austria of the decrees issued by
the Council.
Cardinal Antonelli’* Note to Napoleon
The Paris UonstitutionneJ, of March 27, states
that it has reason to believe that the reply of
the Holy See to Count Daru’s last despatch
has arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
in Paris. The document, which has a certain
development, is said to be written in the
Italian language.
The same journal gives the following sum
mary of its contents:—Cardinal Antonelli
does not contest the authenticity of tho canons
published by the Augsburg Gazette, but he
maintains that they have not tho bearing
which the Cabinet of tho ■ Tulleriea seems to
attribute to them. , Ho remarks that the dis
cussion in the Council may cause them to be
greatly altered, and he declares that, at all
events, the Church does not iu the least think
of meddling in political questions. 'This being
the case, the Cardinal asks whether the
canons do Ecclesia are really. of , such
a nature as to cause the French' Gov
ernment to deviate from the policy of reserve
and abstention which, until recently, it had
thought fit to follow, and ho expresses the
hope that, after suoh explanations, Count
Daru will no longer consider himself entitled
to insist on the-demand contained in bis note
of the 20th of February. In short, the answer
does not hear the character of a refusal. The
Holy Bee is more intent now on dufendiug
the future work of the Council against inter
pretations which it considers erroneous thui
on contesting the right of the French Cabinet
to act as it has proposed.

Second Session.
Washington, April *).
Senate.— Mr. Sumner asked Mr. Edmiinds
what time the Committee on Pensions would
report the bill granting a pension to the widow
of Abraham Lincoln.
Mr. Edmunds, in reply, said that the com
mittee had come to an agreement in the
matter and were ready to report. He could
not announce what the decision of the com
mittee was until, the report was made to the
Senate.
Mr. Cole presented the memorial of the
Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco in
favor of granting Government aid to encour
age postal and commercial communication
between California and the islands of the
Pacific Ocean.
The question as to what Committee the me
morial should be referred was discussed at
some length by Messrs. Cole, Thurman, Cor
bett, Casserly, Williams and others, and in the
end it was not referred at all,but laid aside at
the expiration of the morning hour.
Mr. Sherman called up the Dill repealing all
laws which prohibit the importation of goods
to tho interior without breaking hulk.
Mr. Sherman also called up the bill author
izing the construction, of a “crib” in Lake
Erie, by the citizens of Cleveland, Ohio, for
the purpose -of securing a supply of fresh
water for that city, which was considered and
passed.
The Northern Pacific Bailroad bill was
taken up, and Mr. Harlan continued his
speech, which £was commenced yesterday,
against the bilL
Mr. Stewart followed in favor of the bill,
and contended in behalf of opening up more
land in the great West for settlers. The whole
country is for this enterprise, and there is no
reason against it, except the argument in fa
vor of giving a monopoly to tho Central road,
and enabling the Government to make money
out of its second mortgago bonds. ■
Mr. Howard answered 'Mr: Harlan’s argu
ment that this bill was being urged forward in
advance of the commercial interests of the
country. He contended that there was a ne
cessity for the Northern Pacific road, and it
was a great and pressing one. This northern
line was far more important to> the well-being
of the country than tne Union Pacific road.
House,— Mr. Butler (Mass.) again asked
leave to introduce a resolution to piovide for
the annexation of Jlie Bepublic of Dominica.
Several members objected,
Mr. Bingham, from the Committee on the
Judiciary, reported the resolution appropria
ting two thousand dollars from the contingent
fund of the House to pay the counsel fees and
expenses of B. F. Butler in maintaining the
suit brought against him for illegal detention
by Charles Wooley.
Mr. Dawes objected to paying such items
from tho House contingent fund. That fund
is created for a specific purpose, to which this
dpim is foreign. It is not a legitimate use of
the fund to pay claims accruing under the
Fortieth Congress, as tiffs does, or any former
Congress. Yesterday a bill was rushed through
froui the Committee on Accounts pacing
SI.UOO from tho contingent fund to a
newspaper of this-city for advertising done in
1861. He would like to know the reasons for
such proceedings.
Mr. Arnell.trom tho Committee on Ac
counts, said .the accounts were governed by'
reasons known to thoroselves. , .
Mr. Dawes wanted it to go to tho country.,
that the:Committee on Accounts had paida

of the application by Mx. Charles Gibbons for
an injunction to restrain' Mr. Forman' Shep
pard from proceeding further in the contest
for District-Attorney,an opinion was delivered
reviewing the progress of the contested elec
tion case in the Court below, and concluding
as follows:
We all agreed that the decision of the Su
preme Court decided nothing except as to
-what was before ds, and did not affect any fu
ture legal action that might be taken by the
Court below. The Court of Quarter Sessions
has a clear right within the term to re-examine
and if necessary to revise their judgment or
decree. I see that they, did within the term
allow'proceedings which might lead to such a
result,which were submitted to by the present
plaintiff,and that these proceedings are now in
progress.
“I amnow asked virtually to stop the action
of a tribunal having by law an exclusive
jurisdiction of the snbject matter, legally com
menced, and, so far as I know, legally con
ducted, not by direct means, but by indirec
tion. Whether I have any such power is at
best very doubtful, but in one thing I am clear,
I will not exercise it, I have every confi
dence in the judges of the Court below,.know
ing that no suitor will suffer, injustice at their
hands, The injunction is dissolved.”

The return to an easy money market after the late ah

the banks in the present limited inquiry from the Stock
Kxchanpo readily absorbing all that is preseuted—a
most favorable condition of the market for
legitimate trade. An increased firmness in gold wa«
the principal and most distinctive feature de

premium, and the remarkable absence.of speculative
movement which it exhibits. Is Afeo of.the most health
ful signs of thOgenern) financial situation, indicating a
perfect recovery from the disturbed monetary condition
which was. one of the worst effects of the lute war.
The apprehension Iclt in many quarters, a short time
since, of a rapid decline .of the premium to
par would seem no longer to hate any
cause for existence, as tliolr expectation is
not shared by any ,of those most quick to appreciate
all the chances for speculation in the future prospects.of
the market, tho indisposition to sell short beiugmost
manifest and decided. On the other band the entire
absence or fresh elements of a harmful charncter in the
general business of the country, or of distrust in tho
government, are shown in tbo extreme reticence of .the

there is littte importance likely to result from the proseut

The Funding bill, the bete noir of tho street, is llkdy,
from all . accounts, to go over. Lnto despatches from
Washington, this afternoon, statu authoritatively tbit
it will not pass without important amendments, striking
out the clause affecting tho national bunks auu provid

to the Senate,unci,most likely, a Committee of Con
ference—and there are' very many other objec
tions to it—the chances of ,its passage are very
slight. Its defeat being already, to some extent,

with any considerable influence upon the market. Thu

THE COAL TBADB.
Beports From the leblgb Region.
The Mauch Chunk jC’oal Gazette of yester
day says: ■
There was transported last week over both
railroads 107,816 04 tons against 70,640 03 tons
the corresponding week lastyfear—an increase
of 37,170 01 tortfc. Of this, 4,958 15 tons were
delivered to , other; railroads ■ for shipment
north, and 182,867 09 tons.,came south for de
livery along the line and at tide., Our reports
Show an increase of 5,224 12 tons over the,tou
nages of the previous week, and 208,199 19,
tnus over last year—giving an aggregate for
tbe current year, to last Saturday, of 1,114,-
901 05 tons. We believe tbe shipments last
week were the heaviest ever reported from
the Lehigh Valley.
The activity in the market still continues.
Demand is good on all sizes, and prices are
fully up to our quotations, The stocks at the
shipping points have been worked off apd now
there is but little coal on baud. Along l the
line trade is brisk, and a satisfactory, feeling,
is generally manifested.
The suspension, which began on Monday
last in Schuylkill has not as yet affected the ;
other anthracite regions, and present prospects,
seem to indicate a single-handed contest be
tween the Coal Board and tbe minors of that
region. The former are positive in theiV iti-'
teufion to stand by their proposition Of- a
$2 50 basis, and the latter have as deliberately
demanded $3. Tbe heavy production Of last
week will end operations In Scbuylklll tintil
this question is disposed of. • Huio itj' will
terminate cannot now be Intelligently : suf-!
mised. While tbe men in Cpi'bbn apdLuzenie l
will not, probably, participate ip tbfe’sUsp'rfli
sion, they, will render the strikers the usual as
sistance in the way pf Sy»nppth.V and cbntfibu

endurance;'t>i
Production is unusually active*. Wo know
of nooperations, except Lehigh Navigation
Company, which ftTeiiot making full time ami
