The whole appearance of the investigation IbU> 'General'Howard’s administration of the Frcedmcn ! B Bureau warrants the snspieion that it has its origin in a premeditated con spiracy to revenge certain fancied private griev ances,—a conspiracy, to Which Fernando Wood has gladly made himself a party for the pur pose of using the occasion to further the designs of the Democracy by introducing divisions into the Republican party. General Howard 1 , is too well known to the whole country to make it necessary to say that he has won the very highest reputation among his countrymen as a brave soldier, a patriotic citizen, a most able executive officer, and an ■upright, pure, simple-hearted, sincere Christian gentleman. He has now been very proml-' nently before the country for. nearly ten years.. Fie breath of calumny has ever dared to breathe upon his good name. He has been held in affectionate l&nor by the people, wherever he has gone among them, anil wherever there is a community capable of ap preciating personal and official worth. Now' Fernando Wood comes forward, and essays to blacken his bright name, and to prove him a hypocrite and a knave! Congress, at the re quest of General Howard’s friends, orders an investigation, and it has been promptly institu ted: Upon every principle of justice to a .brave and distinguished officer, of unblemished rep utation, General Howard has the undoubted light to expect that he shall be ae eounted iunocent of these charges until he is proved to be guilty. He has frankly invited the investigation, now in progress, and it yrill be a thorough and impartial one. It might reasonably be expected that public sentiment would be allowed to remain undis turbed upon the presumption of Gen. How ard’s innocence,until it is proved that the great confidence reposed by the people in that offi cer has been misplaced. But there is a strange instinct in human nature prompting an easy belief-in whatever is bad, and there are masses of people wlio will be turned aside from the strongest confidence in the uprightness of a public man by the first straw of suspicion which malice or criminal ignorance or recklessness : may throw across his path. It is already evident that this element of human nature is beißg artfnlly played upon by the men who are now engaged in the task of destroying General Howard’s character. His real prosecutor is not Fernando Wood. He has been chosen as a willing ally, having his .own political axe to grind, by those who have followed their victim for a long time past *' seeking how they might destroy him.” One of the most prominent spirits, if not the master spirit, in ’ this conspiracy, is a well-known newspaper correspondent of Washington, named Boynton, the son of the first pastor of the Congregationalist Church in Washington, and the first president of the Howard Univer sity. This church, like the University, owes its existence and success mainly to the in fluence and active energies of General Ho ward, and the jealousies engendered by the pro minence occupied by General Howard in these two enterprises form the secret history of this whole prosecution. Boynton, a pro fessed Republican, and Wood, a Democrat of the very worst and lowest kind, have, each for his own purpose, joined forces, hoping to pull down a man who holds one of the proudest positions before his country that any Ameri can citizen can 'attain. Boynton’s activity is seen in the coloring which is being given to tbo Washington despatches to newspapers in dif ferent parts of the country. He is a popular man among the Washington correspondents, and it is easy to trace a common handiwork iu The tone of the letters and despatches already appearing in the journals which be influences With greater or less, distinctness. Although the Investigating Committee holds its sessions secretly, daily intimations of its doings, all de signed to be prejudicial to General Howards tone, are quietly scattered over tbo country, and the fact verifies the truth of the reported avowal of one of the conspirators, recently and Tather publicly made, “ Never mind if toe can’t prove the chargee. We will start them on him ang howl” In thus deprecating the prejudgment of • General How ai d's case, by menus of artfully and maliciously-instigated newspaper des o patches, m lmve no intention of screening General Howard from the fullest investigation «f ail his official acts. But we would demand for him' that his good name shall not be taken away uujubtly, and that is all that he demands for himself. We would ask, in the name of patriotism, and honor, aud mo rality, and religion, that tire people of this country he pernutted to maintain their un shaken' 'faith in General Howard until it is proved that that faith is undeserved. One story, deliberately set afloat and indus- triously disseminated, ought to he met at once and disposed of, because it is of the kind most quickly believed, aud most injurious in its ef fects. It has been sent abroad that General Howard and his brother have grown rich out nf the contracts for brick furnished for the Howard University. It is a fact, lor which we have a better authority than any that has been adduced to the contrary, that General Howard has had no interest in the American Building Block Company since H first supplied material for the Howard Uni versity. lie withdrew bis interest from it be : fere, the fust contract was made. Ilis brother, who is a stoekholuer in the Company, has made a low of about tw o 'thousand dollars in the operation, which is the extent of the ad vantage he has derived by the operation. We ffiel very.confident that the oilier'-charges against General How aid will piow thlseas this one. But false or true, if thm. w e.ver a case that desen«l a generous su.-jr in-ii.u of public'judgment, it is the case of a mau like Oliver O. Howard, whom the people ta.e .o THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN-PHIL APELPHIA, MONDAY, APRIL ifi, 18W. [ d'lighted to'honor, and to whose past services lithe field and in the bureau, the 1 country owes so much. THE UEAHUK AND IT'S HUTS'. We have already referred to the propriety of some energetic action on the part ofthe Union League, in Teference to effecting a reform, in the Legislative representation from this city. . There is a general agreement in, the public. mind that .Apoint has been jeached in. the de-; sconding scale of legislative recklessness and corruption, beyond which patienoe and party , obligation ceaße to be virtues. There is a uni versal desire for a complete reconstruction Of ■ the State Legislature, and for the retirement of every man whose record during the last win ter haß connected him with the scandalous legislation of Harrisburg. But this public sentiment needs direction and: expression. Like some of tho great forces of nature, it is harmless and inoperative so long, as it is diflused of disorganized, but terribly ir resistible when concentrated at some single ac tive point. The people of Philadelphia are; per fectly competent to purge the halls of the ,Capi tol of every man who has disgraced tlierh rtur-' iug the past winter. How shall it be done ? All eyes are turned upon the Union League: as the citadel of the Republican party, from, which the signal “Prepare for action!” should already float. The community has never failed to respond to that signal, nor to sustain the; Union League in whatever it has proposed for the public good. Nor will it fail now. It recog nizes the Union League as a far truer represen tative body than the Legislature whose miscon duct has become a notorious public scandal. The Republican party has contributed the best men of all classes in this community to make up this powerful organization. Lawyers, merchants, mechanics, physicians, scholars, tradesmen, bankers,soldiers,sailors, politicians,all the estates of men that go to make up the solid fabric of our society, have their best representatives in the membersliip'of the Union League. Again and again, during the past seven years,, lias this body made its appeals to tire people, and its responses to the people’s appeals, and history has already recorded how much lias been accomplished for the country through its instrumentality. But it may safely he asserted that, in the darkest-days of the Rebellion, there was never a truer need for the Union League to put forth itß energies than now, when the people are waiting with an impatient de sire to secure the great reform'in the law making power of the State which the times so impatiently demand. - The difficulty of accomplishing this reform is not so great as many are disposed to believe. While there are undoubtedly some remedies needed which can only be reached by Consti tutional amendments, there is an immediate remedy ready to our hands; and it is for the Union League to apply it. The immediate want of the Legislature is the presence of a dozen honest, intelligent, bold and determined members from the Re publican districts of this city. We have one snch man now, in the person of Mr. Elliott, and two,—-Messrs. Johnston and Miller, —who can be relied on to co-operate faithfully in any combined resistance to the rascalities of Legis lative rings. There are nine other Legislative districts in Philadelphia. If a proper repre sentative can he sent from each of these nine districts, Ihe work is praetiealhj done. Now let the Union League call its members together and consider this subject in all its grave aspects. Let its members, resident in the several legislative districts, organize themselves as a nuclei around each of w hich one hundred reliable voters can easily he gathered. Let it be distinctly understood, before any nominat ing convention meets, that these voters will not, under any circumstances, support any man for the next Legislature upon whose past re cord there is the smallest shadow of a doubt, but that they will defeat him at the polls, be he a Republican nominee or be he anything else. One hundred citizens, thus organized under the auspices of the Union League, can control the next election in Any legislative district in Philadelphia. The remedy is plain and easy enough. Will not the Union League accept the responsibility of applying it ? It will cost little or no money, and very little time. And yet it will accom plish lor the Republican party, and for-Penn sylvania and Philadelphia, a result which will do the League as high honor as it has won by any of its long list of patriotic labors. JEFF. DAVIS UEDIVIVHN. A statement has been floating about in the newspapers for some time past, to tire effect that Simon Cameron told Jefferson Davis when lie withdrew from the United States Senate that his scat in that body would at some day .be occupied by a negro. Mr. Cameron was alleged to be responsible for the story, which was related as a proof of his remarkable, sagacity and political prescience. If the state ment had been true, it woiddhave been worthy of attention only as a rough guess, the fulfil ment of which would hardly have been anticipated by its author. But its publica tion has had the effect of stirring up Mr. Jefferson Davis, whose heroic soul; is filled with wrathful indignation at the eievafton of Senator Bevels. Davis denies, the truth of the story aud professes to feel ag grieved because Cameron did not anticipate' this denial. As the anecdote has no historical value whatever, nobody is specially interested! in verifying it; hut we may say that when there is a question of veracity between Jefler-: son Davis and any other man, no matter how poor liis reputation for honesty, virtue and truthfulness, we prefer not to believe Jefferson Davis. The loyal people of the country will make the same choice; a man who violated half a dozen oaths of allegiance to his country,' and strove as Davis did with devilish malignity and persistence to destroy ’ this nation, would not hesitate at one small lie. But this letter of Davis’s, containing this un important denial, is interesting because it has also a passage which proves that this criminal has learned nothing from the overwhelming disgrace into which he has been plunged, and that lie does not appreciate the fact that he owes his existence, at this moment, to the generosity of the American people. lie says, speaking of the time of his departure from the ’Senate: “ Men had not then reached the degree of stul tification which caused the withdrawal of States from the Union to be, called ‘Beliel liond Jcflen on Davis is hardly in a position ju.-i now to offer-any valuable suggestions upon the adject of the terms to be employed iu . speaking of wicked treason. This sentence, therefore, gains whatever importance it possesses from the fact that it proves that this -wretched man is still a devOut believer in the doctrine of States Rights, and is as bitter a hater of the Government whose clemency he enjoys as ho ever was. The . best thing that, can he said of this letter of contradiction is that it is in the woist possible taste. A man occu pying the position of an unpunished criminal — a man who is permitted to possess his life and freedom after committing and sanctioning some of the most awful crimes in history, at least ought not to insult the people to whose gene rosity he owes these privileges. If Jeffersdn Davis resins in this country and enjoys the protection of the Government we saved from his assaults, and earns his bread without mo lestation among our people, it would he grace ful for him to remain in quiet obscurity at least. It is not necessary that a man should be a “ Christian statesman ” to perceive the pro priety of such a course. The Inquirer this morning says: One of the most extraordinary circum stances which has occurred .-.uring the pres* ent year, is the fact that the Hon. Columbus Delano has inade a decision which apparently has some common sense in it. This refers to Delano’s decision that a pa rent shall not he charged with his minor child’s earnings in the computation of the Income Tax if it appeals that the parent has allowed the child to appropriate the earnings to his own use. But Mr. Delano has made this year one other decision which “ has some common sense in it. ” He has decided that Paul Pry newspa pers shall not publish the lists of income re turns for the benefit of people who are curious about their neighbor’s affairs. The lofty scorn with which eur contemporary regards Mr. De lano, assures us that • it has not forgotten this decision. HVHICAIi. Mr. larvlß’H Sixth Soiree. The programme of Mr. Jarvis’s sixth and last soiree, at.Dutton’s Rooms, Saturday eve ning, was this: Piano tfolo—Sonata—F minor—appaslonatta, Qp, 57 Bocthovon ].

Jams Violoncollo Solo—Adagio from Concerto. Rudolph Henuig. Trio—G major, No. 2. Piano, Violin and Violon. cello v ..Ruff 1. Allegro con moto ; 2. Scherzo allegro vivuco;3. Large; 4. Allegro vivaco. ' Messrs. Jarvis, Kopta and Hennig. _ The hall was uncomfortably crowded with an intelligent and appreciative audience. This was the forty-second soiree given by Mr. Jar vis in Philadelphia, and closed one of his most successful seasons. The performances of this gentleman are. always of such a high order of excellence that criticism is likely to de generate into enthusiastic praise. To be sure, Mr. Lowell ventures the dictum that the highest wisdom' of criticism lies in.tho ca pacity to admire, and extraordinarily de veloped as this capacity necessarily is by these entertainments, a truthful characterization of. them might betray us into apparent extrava gance. There is such an immense and agreeable difference between the Senate appassionato and the fustlanLisztaffair)whose difficulties areap pallißg and its beauties few,that it is a suffi cie nt indication of Mr. Jarvis’s 1 consummate skill to t note this veTy satisfactory reproduction of eash. It was only his modesty that prevented an encore of the last. The trio of Raff is a work of genuine merit, and abounding in beauties of the highest order; nothing can he more beautiful than the elaboration of the ideas in the Largo, which is full of a romantic beauty,; but is, withal, a trifle too long. The whole composition, in faot, apparently lacks the virtue of condensation, a frequent fault of this composer, it was very carefully played. M r. Kopta generally plays so near perfection that we may be privileged to abate our enthu siasm in his behalf for once, and note the fact that for some cause or other the Othello fan tasie was almost unmanageable in his hands.: There was, apparently, a want of the requisite preparation. He did infinitely better in the Trio. , There remains to commend the exquisite: performance of Mr. Hennig of the lovely Adagio from the Molique Concerto. SUMMER. RESORTS. Q APE MAY, N. J.

Cincinnati, April 18.—A gentleman who hasJlist arrived from tho I'Jatna states mat there are prospects of a stormy campaign with the Indians as soon as the grass becomes high enough to feed the ponies. The most serious apprehensions are felt for the safety of the Pacific Railroad. Ihe settlers are everywhere on the alert to gnard against surprise, bnt the protection of the road through so vast an ex tent of country as will be wandered over by the various tribes is deemed impracticable.

The prizes amount to $O,OOO, and tho entries are numerous. Several interesting contests are anticipated. 1 be Fifteenth Amendment Rstlfieatlsn— A Ptoleit Agiliut it from the Demo* Tlio Democratic representatives in the General Assembly have protested against the ratification ot tbe Fiiteenth Amcmlmeut in the manner following: “ It was accomplished by a vote of 55 to 57, against the known wishes and expressed will cl the electors of this State, after negro suf frage had,'upon submission to a direst vote of the people of Ohio, been rejected by 50,000 majority. “ Tbe result was obtained by a series of frauds, contrived to deprive the people of the right to control tbe elective franchise within tin ir own State. “ Four representatives from the county of Hamilton—which in 1807 gave over 5,000 ma jority against negro suffrage, and in 1800 re peated the verdict by giving over 1,300 ma jority for Gvorge H. Pendleton for Governor— voted for the ratification of tbe proposed amendment in utter disregard of the will of the very voters who elected them. Chosen as non-partisans to this body, they betrayed their constituents by the most shameful party votes, to retain in their seats, without investi gating, their cases, two members to aid in forcing through the Amendment, one of whom was named Blakeslee, who was sworn in at the organization by the Secretary of State, in gross violation of law,; claiming to represent tbe county of Williams— w nich was not entitled to separate representa tion under the existing apportionment; and tbe other, Elijah Glover, of Scioto county, presented a certificate of election, sho wing by a piiper attached to it, containing his resigna tion of the office of Commissioner in Bank ruptcy, that lie was not eligible to a seat in the General Assembly, under .tho Constitution of the State of Ohio, because,at the time of his elec tion, lie held an office under .the authority of the United States. By.the votes oX, time two men, the proposed Fifteenth Amendment was adopted, and all action o,u their case was pur posely postponed by the manufactured inujor- I'j bn this floor, until that subjeoc was dis posed of. I , ‘•An effort to obtain a decision, in the case of Blakeslee, before the vote on the Fifteenth Amendment, was defeated by the vote of Biaktslee himself, in violation: of all parlia mentary law, Under the ruling of the Speaker, ■nude to sustain himself, upon an appeal taken from a decision, declaring out of order a reso : liittou setting forth that Blakeslee had no , right to a seat in the House. ' ■ ‘ •The seat of Glover, returned by a vote of twenty-three majority, was contested on the ground that be.was elected by fifty negro votes, confessedly cast for him, two-thirds of ' wi om Were not legal voters, even under tho decision of our Supreme Court, allowing colored people having a preponderance of white, blood, to vote. “ Thus the,Fifteenth Amendment was forcod upon the people of Ohio by the illegal votes of ••the portions whom it was intended to .enfran- beforo they had any right to vote. In deed, it w as lilting that this measure,proposed by a.Congress Which, secured a twottiiriw ma jority _hy excluding,..enough members, and men, in defiance; of all law, proceeded' by ■wititary coercion to, force the so-nailed rati f'wition through inoek,Legislatures created,at will, to register the edict, should consummate iboir triumph over tho popular liberty by such means. " It is not onr purpose to reargue the ques tion, but' simply to relate /facts; The people in future will decide how/far a change In the Constitution of the United' States thus ob tained by force and fraud combined is of any validity. v V. ’ V . “ Of tile thirty States claimed to havo filed ratifications of the proposed Fifteenth Amendment, Indiana never ratified; New -Fork rescinded her ratification before three fourths of the States were claimed to have ratified; and Georgia is not yet admitted to representation, or recognized as having the rights of a State in tbe Union. So that the twenty-eight States are still wanting to give validity Jjp the usurpation. ' “ Itevdhjtions never go backward, and the party of (centralization will yet learn, to their cost, that their own'precedents will finally work out their annihilation. x “ Signed—Uockerill, Shaw, Armstrong, AustiH, Wilson, Robinson, Kile, Gaston, Mo- Vay, Conklin, Baker, Zeitz, Weyer, Ellis, bhafer, Heller, Mott, White, Schoenfeldt, Schirck, f allen, Milligan, Hughes, Pcckin paugh, Cessna, Houle, Chase, Marshall, Bet tereon, Devere, Walker, Reiser, Baber,Beam, Colbv, Kemp, Waldron, MeKenny and Still well.” Baseßall. fhe Bed Stockings Base Ball Club will Open the season this afternoon.
