To the Editor of the Evening Bulletin: Will you permit me to call the attention of the public, through your paper, to what under any circumstances would be considered a wrong, andwhatunder existing circumstances is a grievous Imposition. It is well known to the community that the mercantile firm of J. W. Proctor & Co. no longer exists, aud there are grave reasons for believing that Mr. Proctor has come to his death, either on board the ill-fatsd City of Boston, or in some other way. Be that as it may, his failure, the subsequent sale of his stock and household furniture, even to his wife’s clothing and bed, and the mysterious fate of Mr. Proctor hhnspjf, combine to place upon bis wife, or widotV, a burden of woe such as few women are called upon to endure. 1 know tho woman in Whose behalf I am writing, and honor her as one of the bravest of my sex. No one doubts that if she had been permitted to continue' her branch of the business of the late . firm, she would not only have saved that which she had labored years to establish, but would gradually have been enabled to liquidate the indebtedness of her husband. But, left atone, she has been sub jected to the law’s most rigorous course. And is it not unmerciful that certain newspapers have even embittered the pangs of this Jady by tba most gross and unkind publications concerning her unfortunate husband ? And is it not an insult to Justice that after all this, the name of the extinct firm of J. W. Proctor & Co. should still be used, without right or au thority, in order to mislead the community by the falsehood that the bankrupt stock of J. W. Proctor Co. is capable of supporting an interminable ante of bargains ' I hold that this is not only a great wrong to an unfortunate woman, but an outrage upon the community that ought to bo exposed and remedied. All publications made in the uamo of this firm are necessarily false, as it no lon ger exißts. For the sake of honor, truth and justice, in this day, when bo much is being said on behalf of woman, and so little done, let those who speculate upon the misfortunes of others and the credulity of the people, feel that their true interests cannot, bo perma nently subserved by imposing upon A Womax. THE FLOOD IN THE SUSQUEHANNA. 49 rent Destruction of Property—Rafts The Harrisburg Patriot of yesterday says: The Susquehanna bad fallen last evening to thirteen feet above low water—three feet and a half below the mark of Tuesday evening. The water was subsiding at the rate of nearly two inches an hour, and tbo fiow of driftwood and logs had in a measure ceased. This rapid tall has removed all apprehension of further damage by the flood. The Columbia Tlerald says: At Marietta and farther up the river, the lumbermen were unable to procure a sufficient supply of ropes and the result has been quite different, result ing in a very heavy loss to some of the owners. On Sunday ovening one raft passed down and went over the dam; oil Monuay evening two’ passed down, and on Tuesday morning three. more, all of which went over the dam. On Tuesday evening about five o’clock, two rafts came down. About two hours later some twenty-live or thirty rafts which had broken loose from a point some two miles above Marietta, passed down and all went over the dam, The loss is a very severe one for the lumber men, as these rafts were worth from twelve to lifteeu hundred dollars each, and although .the greater portion of the lumber will be pioked up along the river below, the rafts will be brqken tip, and the lumber scattered so that its own ers will not realize more than one-third of its market value. The loss to the lumbermen on Monday and Tuesday ou the lumber which passed Columbia will be about $25,000, which tails on the up-riverinon,aa none of the lumber had been solu. , . —Sinco writing the above wo learn that some seven or eight rafts passed down on Tuesday night about, eleven o’clock, running aeainstihe fleet moored at this place; breaking live of them loose,and all passed down the cur rent. of destruction, thus adding $lO,OOO more to the loss. ' ' ,• SOUTH AMERICA. THE END OF THE WAB IN PARAGUAY. :■ Yesterday wo published tlio official des patches confirming the news of the death of Lopez. By the steamer South America, which brought this news from Bio to New York, wo have received the Anglo-Jlrazilian Times of March 24th, from which wq take the follow ing: ■ ■ ■■ The news brought to Bio by the Tycho- Brahe, upon the 17th, ot tlieWaying of Lopez upon the Ist of March, created general re-. juicing, and the cit.y was illuminated for sev eral days. : The foreign Ministers, including the Papal Nuncio, and various deputations of societies and public bodies, have been tendering their gratillations to the Emperor, unon the termi nation of tile war; and. two demonstrations have heen ibade by ladies of Bio to the Prin cess Imperial, congratulating her on the suc cesses achieved by the Comte d’Eu, and on his probably early return from the scene often months of labors and privations. Two more battalions of volunteers have re turned to Bio, where, upon the 21st, they received an enthusiastic reception from the people. It is proposed by the Camara Municipal to erect a triumphal fountain in the Campo d'Acclamagao,after a design by Sr. Caminhoa, a Brazilian architect. A number of gentlemen held a meeting to promote subscriptions towards erecting an equestrian statue of the Emperor, but, on hearing of the project, H. I. Majesty at once peremptorily declined the; proposed . testimo nial, and requested that subscriptions should, instead, be solicited for constructing more school houses, and for better fitting up those already in existence. General Camara has received the title of Visconde de Belotas, and has been promoted f rom the rank of brigadier-general to that of field marshal. “ The End Crowns the Work.” Under this title tlio Anglo-Brazilian Times Las the following leading article: © Whilst many were declaringat almost every new pliase of the Paraguayan war that it was 10 be abandoned, even when, four months ago, telegrams were dying from Brazil and the Kiver Plate announcing that the Comte d’Eu and the Brazilian forces nad given up the pur suit and were embarking for Brazil, we steadily discountenanced such opinions and such reports, being firm in our conviction of their utter falsity—a conviction based upon a rightful estimate of the determination of the Emperor and the Generalissimo not to con sider a peace practicable in Paraguay until the death, capture or exile of Lopez hail made its continuance possible. It must be admitted that the Emperor was almost the only person in Brazil or the Bi ver Plate who never allowed failure and discour agement, or. triumph and illusion, to make him falter in the pursuit of the ends of the, triple alliance. Defeat and disease might decimate the army and dishearten the nation; a gen eralissimo might desert his post, declaring the war over, and the soldiery might murmur and mutiny to follow the evil example; a reluctant ministry might urge financial difficulties and the nation’s exbaustibn,still the Emperornever swerved from his steadfast-resolve not to treat of peace with Lopez, a resolve based upon a full perception that the ambitious, ruthless and treacherous character of the Paraguayan despot gave no surety for a lasting peace, so long as he could exert his maleficent influence upon,. Paraguayan affairs. Even they who most'jiOubted the possibility of ex pelling Lopea from such a country as Paraguay is, will acknowledge that, without the com plete annihilation of the iniluence of Lopez in Paraguay, a costly state of war in peace.must have been maintained by Brazil, for an indefi nite time, to protect her communications and her territory. f It is also impossible, in Para guayan campaign during the last ten months,to overlook how greatly the country is indebted to the Comte d’Eu,in that, reluctantly yield ing to the Emperor’s desire that he should take command of the acephalous army, he undertook to repair the effects of Sr. Caxias’s inconsiderate desertion of his post-,and to continue the war until the only satisfactory ending could be attained. His accepting'the command at such a period of paralysis and hesitation was of vast moral importance to the army and the nation, and it must have greatly lightened the Emperor’s burden of anxiety. The conduction of the succeeding campaign has shown that the choice ef the new- generalissimo was equally felicitous in a military point of view And, iu this point of view, we do not include merely the skilful operations by which the new, strong and threatening stronghold of Lopez was turned, his army almost annihilated, and he and his scanty followers driven to lurk in hiding places in woods and wilderness—iu the short space of three weeks—we refer equally to the less brilliant but even more honoring operations that followed, when, ignor ing difficulties and privations, stay ing only whenever absolute starvation barred advance, his dogged, unwavering pur suit forced Lopez from refuge to refuge to wards the unpopulated north, beyond power of return. Tlieu, and not till then, the Comte d’Eu left the front of the pursuit and returned to Bosario. And in sequence, wo have to re mark on the unselfishness and delicacy ex hibited by the Comte d’Eu in connection with the closing operations carried on in the north. At that time, only in the northern department, whoso troops were commanded by Brigadier- GeneTal Camara, remained any opportunity for gaining the crowning glory of suppressing Lopez and finishing the war, which had become a mere question of weeks or months. The Comte d’Eu might have added this crown ing glory to the laurels he had already won, bnt, seeing in General Camara an energetic and capable commander after his own heart, the Comte d’Eu left to him the honors of the day, and confined himself to seeing that every requisite for giving freedom and thorough efficacy to the operations was supplied un stintedly and with prevision. We need not wonder, then, that the Comte d’Eu, respected and admired for his military ability, is adored by the army for his qualities as a man as well. Thanks, above all, to the Emperor and tho Comte d’En, the war with Paraguay is truly over, and the Brazilian nation can rest upon the laurels and solid advantages it has un doubtedly gained by its perseverance to a positive result. And that result will not be confined merely to the safety obtained for the Brazilian territory bordering on Paraguay; the moral effect ot the tenacious persistence with which the Avar was carried on. against Lopez until the guilty causer of, it himself be came a sacrifice to Brazilian vengeance, will be felt throughout South America, aud the terrible losson of tlio slain despot and his ruined pepplo will not be unconned by the niost ari'ogant or ambitious neighbors of tho Empire. Indeed, much as must be deplored the dreadful spcctaole afforded by an almost annihilated people, such a striking example pf tbp horrors of a great war, and of the per sonal retribution exacted : from its causor, must exert a powerful iiffliieiioe in tho cause cf peace and civilizatinn in South America. The Latest News. The Oneida being considerably overdue, we have delayed going to press until after her arrival. 1 . The only additional ■ nows from General Camara is' by a letter written by him ou the ad. i Canunos.'SnuchoH and Col. Lopez (son of «¥>. deail dictator), wore billed.' posquim, FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1870. A decree dated the 23d grants Messrs. Stephen Busk & Co. and Br. Andre Kebougas a concession to construct docks 1 in the Sauile and Gamboa inlets of the port of-Bio. Another decree grants to Charles T. Bright and others a concession for telegraphic cables between Bio aml Parii and Bid Grand do Sul, touching in all the maritime provinoes. Yellow fever, continues to' be very general even among the natives, but with'the cooler weather tho mortality has. fallen to four, to seven daily. , Arrivnl of Forty-nine of the Survivors at San Franclscp, fFrom the San Francisco Bulletin, April 15.1 The Bteamship America arrived in this port, yesterday, from China and Japan, and among her passengers were forty-nine of the survi vors of the terrible disaster by which the United States steamer Oneida was lost. The following new facts were elicited in a conversation with one of tho party: The Oneida’s gig was smashed in the colli sion, and in a typhoon a short time before she had lost three boats. Some forty-two m e n made the shore in one boat, and considered their escape almost miraculous. Had the ship been able to have gone one hundred yards fur ther, she would have been in l water sufficiently shallow to leave a great portion ©f her rig ging aboVe the surface, ana’ many more lives would have been saved. She sank in about twenty fathoms, and the water is the deepest astern. : ■ otbe Scene of the Disaster—Rivers at Werlt. After the facts became fully known Minis ter De Long and other officials, with volun teers from the survivors, repaired to the scene of the disaster to look for bodies of the dead. The accounts of their operations have been published. However, we are now informed that a party of divers afterward went to the place. Soundings were taken and the position of the WTeck determined. It was found that men in boats could reach down and grasp the lightning rod on the fore-top-gallaut-yard truck. At low water and on a clear day, por tions of her rigging could-be distinctly seen. Divers descended and went through the ves sel. They found the immense opening in the hull, but could find no bodies in the wreck. They brought a cutlass and glove-box up. The water was extremely eold. It was thought there was a possibility of raising the vessel, and bids forsuch an enterprise and for her sale were talked of. Recovery of Bodies. The Japanese are too suspicious. Shortly after the disaster, some of these people fishing near the place found a number of bodies in their nets, but threw them into tbo sea again. W hen a reward was offered for their recovery, the fishermen overcame their scruple. 'By them the body of Ensign C. E. Brown was recovered about the 22d of March. It was identified by his sleeve-burtons which bore liis name. Some Interesting Facts: J.ippincolt’s Magazine for May contains the following among its." Monthly Gossip The rapid expansion of this city, while a matter of just pride to Philadelphians, is not without its attendant embarrassments. Many suburban bnrialgronnds, which had been con sidered secure from invasion by streets, either are, or threaten to be, enveloped by buildings. A pressure is put from time to time upon the Legislature to repeal that clause in their re spective charters which provides that nostreet shall be opened through their grounds, aud, sooner or later, the courts will have to decide whether such a repeal is constitution ally in the power of the General Assembly, Whichever way it may be adjudicated, the consequences will be unpleasant. Either the sacred resting-places of the dead will be cut up by streets, or the convenience of the living will be interfered with. Fortunately, that cemetery on which Philadelphia prides itself most is secure under all circumstances. Bounded on three sides by Fairmount Park and on the fourth by Bidge avenue,Laurel Hill is virtually a part or the Park,of which it forms one of the most interesting features. Its for tunate location, combining picturesque beauty in the present with security iu the future, has not escaped the attention of the public ; and it cannot be many years before the ground will all bo sold. When that shall be tbe case.it will be necessary for our citizens to go farther into the country to find that security from in vasion by streets which is denied them in the city. In fact, the system of conduct ing funerals by railroad, which has jiven such satisfaction in New York and Chicago, must ultimately be adopted in Philadelphia. The above considerations have, we learn, long occupied the attention of ihe managers of Laurel Hill Cemetery, and have induced them to purchase, for burial pur poses, about ono hundred and fifty acres of land in Montgomery county, overlooking the Schuylkill, and to bo called West Laurel Hill. Situated about a mile above Fairmount Park, and accessible by Belmont avenue, the Bead ing Bailroad, etc., this naturally beautiful spot is now being laid out and planted in ac cordance with the rules of landscape gar dening. The Louisville Courier-Journal thus gives a new beginner in journalism a fair start: Somewhere iu tho swamps of Louisiana a young man has just started a weekly newspa per. We give an extract from what is called, perhaps through a freak of the types, his “ Sal utary : “ Once more at the helm wo fearo no storms, no thunder, no billows,, Tho winds may roar and surge, and in wild mad career upheave tho political oceah until her discolored depths are seen anti bear mountain hight with wild confusion tho billows and the billows spray. “ From cloud to cloud the rending lightning may rage, untU the heavens anpear one board sheetof fire and tho torrents p'our in unbroken floods, a solid mass. ’ The ocean may rage and her billows Btrive to reach the very heavens, yet, safely, proudly, fearlessly will -we steer our staunch stotm-tossed bark until we have anchored in. the lilacid waters of tho harbor of Constitutional Liberty.” It will be seen that the young man has a mind’.well calculated to follow tho eagle iu its flight. It will also be seen that liis paper must have been printed a few days after tlio funeral of the proof-reader.’ ■ . —A Now Orleans youth wrapped up a female picture and 1 a gold riug in a pair of small kids, and then swallowed stryounine.

FROM WASHINGTON The Doings in Congress AFFAIRS IN NEW YORE "(By the American Frees Amociation.) FORTY.FIRST CONGRESS. Second Session, [Sknatb—Continued from the fourth Kclitlon ] Mr. Carpenter introduced a bill to autlio nze United States Commissioners to use oili cial seals. Keferred to tho Judiciary Com mittee. - The bill prescribing the oath of office to be taken by persons who participated in the late rebellion was taken up aud passed. The' .bill to prevent the counterfeiting of trade marks was passed. The bill providing a remedy for tho loss or dastruction.of judgment, records on decrees appertaining to proceedings in United States courts was passed. moWE—Continued from Fourth (edition.l A motion to go into Committee of the Whole on the Tariff bill prevailed, and the discussion was resumed on the provisos to the scrap iron paragraph, which reads : “ That nothing shall be deemed scrap iron except waste or refuse iron that bas been in actual use, and is fit only to be re-manufactured.’’ : Mr. Butler moved to insert the word “or” after the word “ iron” where it .occurs the second time. Mr. Scbenck opposed the amendment, and Mr. Brooks advocated it. Mr. Kelley said that little monosyllable “or” changed tlie whole face of the proviso, admit ting clippings and cuttings of iron from all foreign manufactories. It was a direct blow at the iron interests of the entire country. The amendment was rejected—Yeas, 54; nays, 68. Mr. Judd submitted a substitute for the entire section under discussion. It provides for a reduction after the Ist of July next, of thirty-three and a third per cent, of the duties on syrup, molasses, salt, coal, Sc.; also twenty per cent, reduction on coffee, tea and all iron, -except railroad iron, provided the duty shall at no time be less than thirty-five per cent, ad valorem. The substitute further reduces the rate of tax to three per cent, on incomes above two thousand dollars. Mr. Sclienck raised the point of order that this substitute was not pertinent to tho present discussion, and could not be offered until the Committee had got through with the section. The Chair sustained to the’ point of order. Mr. Cake moved to impose an additional duty of ten per cent. ad valorem on all scrap iron. Bejected, & The next paragraph reached was the follow ing: “On all-iron in stables, blooms, loops or other form, including ends, clippings aud punchings of new iron less finished than bars and more advanced than pig-iron, except castings, one cent per pound.” - Mr. Brooks moved to strike out the words “ including eiuls, clippings and puncliiogs of new iron. Mr. Keiley opposed the amendment, and Mr. Logan advocated it. Mr. Beck opposed tlie whole paragraph, because it raised the duty on these forms of iron above the present rates.

Italian Opera at the Academy, ; Signor Brignoll began a season of Italian °J?‘', ra he Academy of Music, last night, with Donizetti’s charming opera Lucia dl' Lommcnncor—nn opera which/although it hast alyvays been a favorite, has not been given in (bis city for a number of years. There were two or three reasons why this first perfortti ance was not brilliantly successful; -In the brst place, it did not begin until half an hour;: alter the time announced, and the entr’actes,. were so long that everybody grow tlredof 1 waiting, and there were very decided expres- W P , * S impatience and ill-humor.: Them - could have been no possible excuse for those ! delays, because the changes in the costmnep wero very trifling, and might easily have bees ■ made in a few moments. The management have no right to treat an audience Yn this manner, and we only regret that the manifestations of disapprobation were not - more decided. The inevitable effect was to> make the audience cold and unentUuslaStie, and this feeling was increased by the coldness- •’ and inefficiency of some of the singers. It was evident that Signor Brignoli’s company had been organized for the emergency or this present season, and that the Beason was nob appointed for it. The only really-good- singer . in the troupe is Brignoli himself; there is no first-rate soprano or contralto, and'no-good! bass. Tthe Soprano part last night was undertaken by Miss Isabella McCulloch*, an estimable young lady who has had ex cellent training; whose method ■ is' goody ; and who has all the qualities of" oV - artist but a first-rate , voice.. bhe has a fair soprano voice; which is very of- ! ten uneven and rough, and never entirely-; °‘. eal j BWeet an( i full- Much of the music, last > night yras beyond her compass, and while she sang with considerable fSrvor, with complete' • V '"Patby with the subject, and covered her deficiencies with some skill, the effect was not as pleasant as it would have been had: a more-" giited singer occupied her place. Her execu- • tion in the,,difficult passages—in the tender cavatina in the first apt, for instance—was re markable, and deserved the hearty applause bestowed upon it. She did her best at aft times,, and if any blame is to be bestowed, the man- - agement deserve it, for giving her an arduous task which would tax the powers of singers ' who’ are very much more pretentious than Miss McCulloch. Brignoli appeared as “Edl gardo,”and sang the beautiful music of his part superbly, contriving at times even to infuse some passionate expression into his perform ance. In the quartette, “ Chi mi frena/ r he was very fine, anil he succeeded, for the first time (lining the evening, in exciting some enthusi asm and winning an encore. In the duett with ; “Bucia”—the familiar “ Verrano ate suit avra" —-Brignoli also won honors and hearty applause. Sig Petrelli appeared as “Sir : Henry” and gave an extremely clever per- , niance, despite the fact that he is by no means a graceful or effective actor. The ’ minor parts were sustained by persons who do not deserve especial mention. The orchestra, directed by Sig Giorza,was veiy good indeed! and the chorus was Bmall and tolerable. If" there had been a little more promptness, and. more enthusiasm on the part of the singers; the performance upon the whole would nave been accepted its very creditable and would have furnished satisfactory entertainment to-: the audience. This evening 11 Trovutore will . be produced with Mad. Gazzaniga as ' “Azucena.” To-morrow atternoon Martha will be given. V Prof. Pearce’s Concert. 4:30 O'Olook. At Musical Fund Hall to-morrow night Prof. James Pearce, organist of St. Mark's- Church, will give a concert in which his Choir of boys will participate, with the assistance of Mrs. Snsan Galton Knllelier, Mr. Wenzel Kopta, and other popular artists. This con cert promises to be one of the most charming; of the season. The singers are all good, and the music is of a peculiar and unique kind. The programme includes several madrigals > and part songs by famous old composers, with- . a canon by Chorubini, Tartini’s, “Devil’s Trill” Sonata for violin, an Easter Carol by Prof. Pearce, and a choice .variety of miscel laneous music. This entertainment ought to attract an immense audienco, not only because it will be of a delightful character, but because Prof. Pearce deserves encouragement in his eflort to popularize music of the kind he has chosen for this concert. Miss McCaffrey's Concert. —Miss Caroline McCaffrey will give a,, concert at Musical Fund Hall to-night. She will bo assisted by tlie following competent , artists: Mrs. Kellehdr, Miss Helen McCaffrey, Mr. George Simpson, tenor, Mr. J. K. Thomas, basso, anu Mr. William Dietrich, pianist.

On the 24t1» nit., the ladies in question received a visit from three gendarmes and a police agent in private clothes, who made a thorough soaroh of their lodgiDgs. Two days afterwards they received orders to quit Rome in twenty-four hours. Mr. Olio Russel and the British Consul, Mr. Severn, exerted themselves in the matter, and Cardinal Antonelli was communicated with- , The Pope himself was appealed to, but all m . vain. At the expiration of forty-eight hours, a respite of twentv-fonr hours having been 1 obtained, two of the ladies left Rome and went to Naples. Tl:o other has resolved not to leave until actually compelled. A rumor that the ladies had been engaged in dietri-, -. Imting unauthorized Italian Bibles is contra- ■ dieted, and no reason whatever for the expul sion appears to have been given. It is thought that the order proceeded from the Pope himself.
