‘"EVENING BULLETIN.
Wednesday, April 20, 1870.
t)pon our inside pages to-day, will be found
two interesting foreign letters,together with im
portant letters from PoUsville and Wilmington.
these and those.
That amiable gentleman, Mayor Fox, en
joyed a novel sensation, day before yesterday.
: Two of his policemen • did • something,—we
forget now what it was,—that was commenda-
Me, and the Mayor had the “ bright particular
' stars” up before him, and said pleasant things
< to them, in that geDial manner for which he is
i9O justly celebrated. The occasion was an
; .unusual one, and was naturally mentioned in
all the papers.
The force, at large, evidently resents this, in
fringement upon its record, and has promptly
taken measures to re-establish its threatened re
putation. The duty was an easy one, and was
eheerfully assumed by a special committee se
lected from the large number of men competent
to demonstrate the utter unfitness of Mayor
Fox’s police. Messrs. Fatrick Levy, Thomas
Morgan and John Bowlen formed the com
mittee, and did their work in the most satis
feetory manner. Mr. Levy distinguished him
self by arresting two peaceable citizens, Who
remonstrated against his abuse of a prisoner,
preferring false charges against them and lock
ing them up in the cells of the station-home.
Messrs. Morgan and Bowlen were equally suo
eessfui, if not more. so. They appear to have
acted as a sub-committee oni the Fifteenth
Amendment, invading a colored man’s house,
searching it without a warrant, beating the
tenant and his child over the head with their
efaibs, arresting the daughter for getting
'frightened, and winding up with a grand effect,
by locking the whole family up in jail, the
daughter being kept there two days and nights,
and the father and son one day and night.
The force is all right again. It has thor
oughly reinstated itself in the bad graces of the
oommnnity, and vindicated the low reputation
which it has eDjoyed ever since Mr. Fox took
the seat which the people of Philadelphia con
ferred upon General Tyndale. Mr. Fox ought
not to disturb the immoralc of his police by
taking notice of such little eccentricities, as the
occasional fishisg of a man out of the docks, or
the fact of a policeman defending himself
; against a burglar. It discourages and confuses
the men, to have the Mayor commending
them for an un-Democratic attention to duty,,
and we cannot sufficiently admire the prompti
tude and zeal with which Patrick Levy, Thomas
Morgan and John Bowlen have performed the
delicate tusk of setting our Democratic police
'light before the people.
THE INTHHIN C'ANAE PROJECT---
HKWB OF AN EXPERT.
Looking on the map of Central America, it
would seem that there ought to be no insuper
able difficulty in cutting a canal between the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The Isthmus is
rery narrow, and modern engineering and
machinery have accomplished so many extra
ordinary works, that it would seem that if the
capital could be furnished, a canal could be
constructed. Then would come the question
of preserving it in good order, in a country of
earthquakes,where there are frequent upheavals
and depressions that totally change the surface
'of the earth. The preliminary rumors that
come from the party sent out to the Isthmus
by the United States must not be accepted as
entirely trustworthy. There are over-sanguine
young men in all adventurous enterprises,, and
There are also men who have an object in
exaggerating or deceiving so that the enter
prise which occupies and pays them may not
be abandoned.
There have been some pretty thorough and
careful explorations of the Isthmus of Darien
past times. Those made iu the preliminary
surveys for the Panama Railroad, and iu its
construction, threw a great deal of light on the
question of the possibility of constructing a
canal. Mr. John C. Trautwine, of this city,
was one of the engineers engaged in those'' ex--
plorations in the year 1852, and his professional
reputation is such that bis views ou the sub
ject are entitled to respectful consideration. In
a scries of papers called “Rough Notes,” con
tributed by him to the Journal of the Frank-
Kn Institute in 1854, Mr. Trautwine gave some
most interesting memoranda concerning the
topography, the geology, the water-courses.
Ac., of the Isthmus, lie made also ah esti
. mate of the cost of cutting a caual by what he
called the “ Napipi route”—the Napipi being a
branch of the Atrato. lie made the total
amount $50,400,000; but added that he re
garded the sum as “ totally inadequate for the
purpose.” He went on as follows:
“ I have coasted and boated along both sides
of the region comprised between the Pacific
Ocean (from Panamato Buena Ventura) on
The one side, and the Caribbean Sea, the
Atrato and tho San Juan on the other side;
and have crossed it both at the site of the
Panama Railroad, and at three points more to
the South. Prom all I could see, combined
with all 1 have read on the subject, 1 cannot
entertain the slightest hope that a ship-canal wilt
ever he found practicable across any part of it.
"When I employ the word practicable, it
3s m£&nt m «• swwo. ”
In other words he expresses doubts whether a
ship canal would pay any company who would
make it .The italics are in the original. The
testimony against the practipability of the work
is as strong and emphatic as any that can he
Imagined. The opinions of Mr. Trautwine do
sot seem to baye changed; for in a recent
casual conversation with him we have learned
that he has no confidence whatever in the re
ports recently circulated that a summit level of
but 150 feet, between the two oceans, has been
found near Caledonia Bay; nor in that which
asserts that an uninterrupted water commuui
ection has been found in about the latitude of
Panama. He also regards in the same light the
alleged discovery of a summit level of but 80
Metres,'-or say 250 feet, between-the river-
Tuyra on the Pacific side aud the Cano
Cacarica on the Atlantic side; and which is
said to have been discovered by a French en
gineer who has been exploring the Isthmus for

some years past. Mr. Trautwine states tint
the so-called rtters which enter Caledoniij
Bay, or any others in that vicinity which dis
charge into the Atlantic Ocean, are but mere
brawling creeks, navigable for a mile or two,
perhaps, by. a small row-boat, and then becom
ing a series of mountain cascades. No At
lantic stream in that immediate vicinity is avail
able, to any appieciable extent, for an inter
oceanic canal. He thinks that no summit level
materially less than 1,000 feet above the sea
will be found by the present United States ex
pedition to Caledonia Bay. He is also of the
impression that in the discussion of an inter
oceanic canal across the Isthmus of Darien a
great oversight has been committed in the
omission of the fact that wherever it may be
located, it is in the direct range of the most
active earthquake agency on the face of the
globe.
These are the views of an expert, who has
visited and studied the region as thoroughly
and conscientiously fts any man living. .They
are entitled to consideration before the United
States Government commits itself to any great
expenditure of money in an undertaking that
may be a total failure. Of the value of a canal
across the Isthmus, not only to this country
but to all trading countries, there can be no
question. But let it be well ascertained that
it can be made to pay, before entering upon
any heavy expenditure. Mr. Trautwine thinks
the most feasible solution of the matter would
be for all the leading coirimercial nations te
construct the canal at their joint expense, and
then throw it open to the use of the world at
large, exacting merely sufficient tolls to keep it
in repair.
THE ASSAULT ON THE IRON INTEREST
The iron masters of this State who will suf
fer ruin or prostration of their business if the
reduction of four dollars per ton of the duty on
pig-iron is permitted to go into effect, may
thank their representatives for the disaster.
The proposal to reduce the duty from nine
dollars to fivesSollars per ton was carried on
Monday in the- House by a vote of 60 to 04.
When that vote was taken, six members from
Pennsylvania, representing districts in which
there are large numbers of furnaces, were ah
sent from their seats and did not vote at all. If
only three of these men had been at their posts
of duty, the. Free Traders could hot have struck
this terrible blow at one of our most impor
tant: industries, but we should have had the
duty continued at the old rate. • Their negli
gence-in this respect was simply a betrayal of
the trust confided to them by their constitu
ents. The tariff bill was under discussion, and
they knew, *ob should have known, as every
body else did, that a fierce assault would be
made upon the iron interests of this State. A
recommendation to that effect was made by
Commissioner Wells in his report, and it was
the openly declared intention of the free tra
ders to act upon this suggestion. If these re
creant Pennsylvanians are fit to occupy their
positions, they were acquainted with the fact
that the iron manufacturers are not growing
rich under the duty of nine dollars, but that
when gold was much higher than it is now,
the protection afforded by this duty gave them
an opportunity to make only a fair profit upon
their investments. The recent heavy decline
in gold operated precisely as a reduction of
the duty, and if any protectionists considered
the tariff too high at first, this reduction in this
shape should have satisfied them. The further
reduction of four dollars a ton is a cruel blow
at this interest, and if it is permitted to stand
it will have'a disastrous effect upon the in
dustry in this State. It is the first movement
of a deeply laid scheme to stop all the furnaces
in Pennsylvania, to throw thousands of poor
men out of work, and to flood the country with
foreign iron made by cheap foreign labor. If
this calamity should’ befal, the sufferers should
bold the Congressmen who made it possible,
personally responsible for it, and refuse to trust
them again. They had no more right to absent
themselves when this vote was taken, than
they would have had to vote for the establish
ment of a provisional go vernment in this State.
The other protectionists in Congress may well
be excused for declining to labor for the reten
tion of the iron duty, when they perceive that
the representatives_of some of the districts
most deeply interested, are so careless of the
subject. It is understood that an effort will be
made to have the duty increased again to
old figures, and - we sincerely hope it will be
successful. If the absentees will attend to
their duties properly and remain at their posts,
this act of justice may perhaps be accom
plished.
The vexed and tangled Georgia question
was settled yesterday,'as far as tho Senate i
concerned, by the adoption of an amendment
oflered by Senator Pomeroy, which remand.-
the State to a provisional military government,
arid provides for the election of a Legislature
next fall. It is a disgraceful fact that all the
legislation which lias , been undertaken for
Georgia has been proved worthless; and it is
deplorable that there should be a necessity to
begin all over again with a military govern
ment as a foundation. But tho wise men of
Congress managed to get this Georgia business
into such a lropeiess mess, that the Schleswig-
Holstein question was lucidity itself compared
with it. Nobody in or out of Congress pre
tends to understand it exactly. The newspa
pers gave it up long ago; the people generally
were lois among the quagmires of the road be
fore the subject got fairly on its journey to
wards its present hopeless perplexity, and most
of the members of Congress never did com
prehend it from the first. Mr. Pomeroy's plan
is to abandon the tortuous and mazy path, and
to start again in a new direction. We hope
there will be no foolery this time. If the
Georgians elect a Legislature next fall, it must
be permitted t to proceed with its work, no mat
ter whether it has a Democratic or a Republi
can majority.
The cable despatches last week announced
the adoption in the (Ecumenical Council of
the Schema de Fide, and most of the Ameri
can papers fell into the error of supposing that
it included the dogma of Papal Infallibility.
The text of this Schema de Fide has been
made public by the Augsburg Gazette, from
which we translate it and print it in another
column. It will be observed that it docs not
touch tho infallibility question, but it,.contains
some Whcr very extraordinary things, aud its
adoption by a large majority indicates that
the Council i» likely to adopt anything the
Pope may demand.
The New York Associated Press despatches
have not yet 1 announced- the death of the
Duchess of Berrl, which was made known by
the American Press-Association in their papers
of yesterday morning. The, New York con
cern, however, has learned that the legitimist
papers of Paris appeared yesterday in mourn
ing for her, and the presumption among its
readers is that, she is dead. But, as in other
cases in'which it has been beaten by the A. P.
A., it will never announce the fact.

(Special Deapatch to tha Fbila. Evening Ballettn.] '
Tbc Ueorgls Bill.
Washington, April 20.—After a prolonged
debate, the Senate, at one o’clock this morn
ing, passed the Georgia bill. The bill, as it
now stands, does not meet the approval of
President Grant, and it is extremely doubtful,
if the bill passes the House in its present,
shape, whether he will give it his approval.
In conversation with your correspondent
last evening, previous to the passage of the
bill by the Senate, the President said he hoped
the Pomeroy amendment would not be
adopted.' He regarded it as mischievous and
likely to cause trouble, and added, with a good
deal of emphasis, ■“ X want reconstruction to.
end, and the Pomeroy amendment only delays
, it.”~ There will be a hard light in
the House to-day, whenjtkc bill comes back
from the Senate, and the prospects for its
passage are not considered as very good. Gen
Logan denounces the,bill as unconstitutional,
and other members are also outspoken in their
objections to tbo bill. The following is a Cor
rect- copy of- the bill, as it passed the Senate
this morning:
An net in relation to the State of Georgia:
li hertas, Great irregularities have been
practiced in tbo organization of the Legisla
ture in the State of Georgia, both in its tirst
organization and in the expulsion of certain
membtrs, as well also as in its reorganization
since the act of December last.
7 hen fore, lie it enacted by the Sen
ate m,"d Jlouse of 'Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress
atsendtled, That the existing Government in
the State of Georgia is hereby declared to be
provisional, ami tbo same shall continue sub
ject to the provisions of tlio Acts of Oougress
of March 2, 1667, and March 23,1867, and July
19, 1867,and until the admission of said State by
law to representation in Congress; and for
this purpose the State of Georgia shall consti
tute the Third Military District.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That in
accordance with the provisions of, and under
the powers anti limitations provided in said
acts, an election sball be held in said
State, commencing on the fifteenth day of
November, eighteen hundred and seventy,and
continuing as the President may designate,
for all the members of the General Assembly
of said State provided for in the Constitution
of said State adopted by its con
vention the 11th day of March,
1868; at which election all persons who,
by said Constitution, are electors, shall ,
be entitled to vote; and said General Assembly
so elected shall assemble at the Capital of said
State, on Tuesday, the 30th day or December,
1870, and organize preparatory to the admis
sion of the State to representation in Con
gress ; and the powers and functions of the
existing General Assembly shall cease and de
termine on the said 13th day of December,
1870.
Sko. 3. And be it further enacted. That when
ever it shall appear to the President from an
application of the Legislature of any State, of
by the Governor of such State when the Leg
islature cannot ho convened, that domestic
violence prevails in any city, county,
Of municipal organization In such
State that cannot be suppressed by the local
authorities, it shall be the duty of tho Presi
dent to suppress such domestic violence, and
for that purpose he is hereby authorized to
employ the military force of the United States
and any portion ot the militia of any State lie
may deem necessary, and to exercise all suoh
rowers and inflict such punishment as may
by the laws or rules and articles of war be
exercised or inflicted in case of insurrection.
Sec. 4. That so much of the act entitled “ An
act making appropriation for the support of
the Army tor the year ending June SOtli, 1868,
and for other purposes,” approved March 2.1,
1867, as prohibits the organization, arming or
calling in to service of the militia forces in the

repealed.

The McFarland Trial.
New Yo.uk, April 20. —1 t is understood that
Surgeon-General Hammond, Dr. Chadsev,
and another medical gentleman who lias
watched the trial closely, will be called on to
give testimony as experts on the question of
the insanity of Mr. McFarland. It is not now
considered probable that the Revs. Henry-
Ward Beecher, O. B. Frotliingliam and other
distinguished persons will be examined by the
defence, or even at all. The rulings of the
Recorder on Monday as to the will of Mr.
Richardson has doubtless led the defence to
conclude that it would be useless to attempt to
enter upon any events o'cfcurring subsequently
to the shooting of Richardson.
The prosecution will present, evidenceseek
ing to relmt that introduced by the defence,
but it is thought that this testimony will not
lie voluminous of itself.
Possibly Mrs. Calhoun and some of her
friends and intimates will go upon the stand
to clear her character from the aspersions
east upon it during the trial. If they do, Mr.
Graham will, no doubt, subject them to a rigid
cross-examination, and the result may be that
the evidence may bn ruled out as entirely ir
relevant. It is believed that the testimony
will be all in by to-morrow uight. Friday will
he consumed in summing up, and it is pro
bable that Recorder Haekett will chargo
the jury on that day, so that a verdict may be
obtained on Saturday.
The twelfth day of the trial opened without
any unnsual incident. There' were rather
more ladies in attendance than upon any pre
vious day.

KENTUCKY.
A Political Muddle.
Frankfoiit, April 2<)th.—The McOreery-
Steveiison Beck-Johes-Gblladay-Hawkins im
broglio is the all-important topic of conversa
tion here to-day. it is haid that the whole
matter will settle unfavorably against Mr.
Jones, as Governor Stevenson has the most
positive proof that he was understood to say
tbat tbe names of certain prominent Demo
cratic politicians of this State had been, 'ap
pended to a petition asking office from Presi
dent Johnson for General Burbridge, a Re
publican. On the other baud, there are some
who maintain that Governor Stevenson is
very weak in Ids evidence and position touch
ing the matter. Every day adds to .the serious
ness of the affair, and it will-not be surprising
if several duels are fought before it is satisfac
torily cleared up.
'1 be Kentucky Central Railroad.
The rumored intention of (lie Pennsylvania
Central Railroad to obtain control of the Ken
tucky Central Railroad is again uppermost in
business circles here. It is understood, how
ever, that action wiil be deferred in the mat
ter until the decision is made in the suit now
pending to determine the ownership of, the
Kentucky Central Railroad. Should the re
sult he favorable, it is probable that Governor
Stevenson, of this State, and the Hon. George
H. Pendleton, of Ohio, wiil become parties in
the interest of the Pennsylvania Central Rail
road Company. It is given out here that the
trustees of the Cicninnati and Southern Rail
road Company are working in harmony with
what is called the “J. Edgar Thomson
party.”

” From Washington.
[Special Pespatch totlio Pliiln. Krtminir Bnlletin.]
The Tariff Rill—Niijipnrt to Pennsylvania
Manufacturers.
Washington, April 20.— An important
move is to be made by the Pennsylvania mem
bers in the House on tho present Tariff Bill.
The delegation have been in consultation, and
have arrived at the conclusion that the House
does not intend to afford to Pennsylvania
manufacturers the protection tboy ask to sus
tain them against foreign competition, but is
rather disposed to- reduce the present duty
than increase it, and they have therefore de
cided to introduce and support
Jav the Tariff bill on the table.
The members composing the delegation are
very indignant at the course ot the House
yesterday and last night on the question of
lixing a duty on wrought and cast scrap iron,
and a motion to table the hill wiil be made in
the House to-day oy to-morrow, when its con
sideration is resulted, by General Negley, in
behalf of the Pennsylvania delegation.
J. U.Synbrr Entitled ta His Seat—Oppo
sition from Ike Democrats.
The House agreed to a resolution from the
Election Committee, that J. H. Sypher, of the
First Louisiana District,is entitled to his seat,
by a vote of 78 ayes to 73 nays. The Demo
crats. objected to' his being sworn in, and
asked to have a protest, signed by nearly
seventy members, against this being done,
read at the Clerk’s desk, but ■an ob
jection was made, and it was ruled out. A
motion to adjourn was made, but was lost on
the call of the yeas, and nays. It will be re
membered that Mr. Bypher was one of the
members implicated in the sale of a cadetship
to West Point, hut as he /was not a sitting
member of the present Congress, the Military
Committee took no action in the case. .
Mr. Brooks (Democratic member)—l will
now move that the House nowinvestigate.tlie
alleged sale of cadetship to Mr. Brooks, news

The McFarland Trial.
[Continued from Second Edition.l
Mr. Graham sought to show that the feeling

, Washington, April 20—The action of the
Supreme Court to-day in dismissing the Le
gaMender cases, upon the motion of the coun
sel for the plaintifls, does not finally dispose of
the question at issne, but merely postpones the
subject until the next term of the Court, when
a new ease, similar to the ones dismissed,
comes up for argument. The announced deci
sion of the Court stands, however, as a law
until the next session of the Court, or until
the other case is disposed of.
The Senate is considering the. Northern

United States Supreme Court cases.
Washington, April 20—The United States
Supreme Court to-day, in the case of O. B. and
H. L. Latham vs. the United States, on a mo
tion made by Mr. Chattteld, counsel for the
appellant, to dismiss the appeal, retired for
consultation, and upon reentering the court
room, unanimously agreed to the motion.
In the case of Israel Dcming vs. The United
States, a similar decision was made.
In the case of Hepburn & Griswold vs. The
United States, a motion for a rehearing, and
involving the opening of the Legal-Tender
decision recently announced, was made. ■ The
motion was unanimously denied by the Court.
No Judge who concurred in the recent decision
desired to hear the case re-argued.
This ends the whole matter, and the decision
requiring gold contracts made prior to the
passage of the Legal Tender act to be paid in
gold stands as the judgment of the Supreme
Court of the United States.
Washington, April 20.
Senate. —Mr. Fenton presented the memo
rial of Cyrus W. Field in relation to an inter
oceame telegraph cable. Referred to the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs.
Mr. Gilbert introduced a bill to organize
mail steamship communication between Cedar
Keys, Florida, and Havana.
Mr. Casserly introduced a bill for the relief
of the merchants of San Francisco for goods
destroyed by the falling of the United States
bonded warehouse through the alleged care
lessness of the Collector. Referred.
The bill to establish a mail and passenger
steamship service company between San
Francisco and Australia, by the way of the
Sandwich and Feejee Islands, was taken from
the table, and a lengthy debate ensued as to
whether it should be referred to the Com
merce or Post-Office Committee. ijWMwj
Pending the discussion, the morning hour
expired, and the Northern Pacific Railroad
bill was taken up, the question being one
striking out that portion of the bill granting
additional lands to said company.
House. —Several unimportant bills were in
troduced and referred. „
The resolution to print thirteen thousand ad
ditional copies of the report of the Smithso
fiian Institute for 1802 was referred to the
Committee on Printing.
The resolution reported by Mr. Stevenson,
from the Committee on Elections, on which
the previous question was ordered yesterday,
declaring J. H. Syplier entitled to' the seat
from the First District of Louisiana, was
taken up.
The Speaker informed Mr. Stevenson that
ten minutes remained.
Mr. Stevenson had nothing additional to
say, but would ask a vote at once.
Mr. Fitch asked Mr. Stevenson to allow him
to ofi't-r as a substitute a resolution declaring
that no valid election .had been held in that
district—
Mr. Stinson objected, and the Speaker
said-the previous question having been or
dered on the pending resolution, Mr. Fitch’s
substitute was not in order, except by unani
mous consent.
Mr. Brooks moved to reconsider the vote
whereby the main question had been ordered.
The (speaker asked Mr. Brooks whether he
had voted in the affirmative.
Mr. Brooks—l So.
The Speaker—Then your motion is not in
order.
Mr. Brooks, amid confusion, said he ob
jected to swearing in Mr. Sypher, on the
f round that he was not a native of Louisiana,
ut of Pennsylvania.
The Speaker stated that the only business in
order now-was to reconsider or to swear in
Mr. Sypher.
Mr. Brooks said another reason against
swearing in this man was the fact that a com
pact bad been entered into between Sypher’s
friends and the Pennsylvania delegation,
whereby the latter were to vote him in, pro
vided he would vote with Pennsylvania on
the higli tariff.
The Speaker again repeated his decision.
Mr. Cox desired leave to present and have
read a protest now being signed by those
voting in the negative.
Mr. Stevenson objected, saying they had
embodied their protest in their votes.
Mr. Cox said it was customary to hear the
reading of such protests. As this came from
such a large number of Representatives, it
ought to be allowed a hearing and go upon the
record. ■ -
Mr. Stevenßon said ho had no objection to it
when presented at tbe proper time, but would
object to everything until Mr. Sypher was
sworn in.
By this time, Mr. Sypher had arrived in
front of the Clerk’s desk, when Mr. Stiles
moved that the House do now adjourn. Rot
agreed to.
Mr. Moore (111.) moved to reconsider the
vote whereby Mr. Sypher was declared enti
tled to tbe seat.
The Speaker asked him if he voted in the
affirmative.
M r. M oore said yes.
Mr. Stevenson moved to lay that motion on
the table—yeas 79; nays S 3. Not agreed to.
Considerable commotion prevailed during
the takiDg of the vote and on its announce
ment.
Mr. Moore’s motion was then agreed to—
yeas 85; nays 79.
A message was at this point read from the
Senate announcing the passage of the .Georgia
bill with amendments.
Mr. Butler asked the unanimous consent of
the Bouse to take it from the Speaker’s table
and refer it to the Committee on Reconstruc
tion.
Mr. Bingham objected.
Mr. Pitch’s substitute, declaring that no valid
election bad been held in the First District
of Louisiana, and that neither Mr. Sypher
nor Mr. St. Martin had been elected, then
came np.
Mr. Stevenson moved to lay the resolution
on the table. Negatived—yeas, 73; nays, 94.
M r. Kerr said that, under the circumstances
he thought the best thing to be done was to
vote for Mr. Fitch's substitute.
Mr. Stevenson.—lf you want to stultify your
selves, go ahead.
The substitute was then agreed to—yeas,
100; nays, 69.
Tbe question recurred on agreeing to the re
solution as amended,
Mr. Stevenson moved to lay the resolution
on the table. Negatived. . 7
