THE BOARD OF HEALTH
While we cannot approve the small scale of
, operations upon which the Board of Health is
grappling with a gigantic evil, we - can most
heartily endorse their application to Councils
for an extra apyropriation of ten - thousand dol
lars to meet extraordinary expenses in fighting
the relapsi g fever in the Bedford street !IN
strict. le Board of Health ought certainly to
be sustained in every effort which , it is now
-- making to..purge this
_plague-smitten district.
ln.removing the sick, appointing additional in
specters, cleaning • and whitewashing -putrid
cellars and houses, and other• sanitary meas
ures, unusual expenses are of course incurred.
The Board of Health does not spend Money,
on such occasions, wastefully. and this appro 7
Priation - Should be immediately granted. We
only wish that the operations of the Board
were upon such a scale as to require twice the
amount, for, with all that has been done, we
are well satisfied that twice as much ought to
have been done.
Sunimer is upon us, in a few days More,
and there is good reason to fear that unless the
purification of the entire infected district in
speedily completed, the seeds of disease, now
eo thickly scattered throughout that entire
neignorhood, will ripen, -under. our hot July
sun and our sultry August atmosphere, into
seine mere deadly haivest of pestilenee — tharr
the relapsing fever. Those who are now
stricken down with this fever generally recover,
and, as they are discharged from the hospital
sr the almshouse, will drift back to their old
abodes, enfeebled in strength, depressed in
their - whole physical ' - condition and ready for
any new form of epidemic disease to take hold
Under• - these circumstances no 'obstacle
should be interposed, for a single day, in the
way of the - Board eit - Ilealth. Every facility
and encouragement shnuld_be - given - them - to
make a,thorough cleaning out of this wretched
district. True it is that Bedford street and its
vicinity should never have required all this
present labor and outlay. But the disgrace of
past criminal neglect can now best be done
away by the prosecution of a vigorous cam-
paign against the filth that has dragged the
miserable inhabitants of that district down to
a lower misery, and that has been a dark blot,
for - years past, on Philadelphia's good name.
Such a campaign, thanks to earnest efforts of a
small portion of the public press, has been
'begun on a small scale, and even this has ac
complished much aood. It will be a most
short-sighted policy, it' Cotincils now dis
courage the Board of Health by the slightest
hesitation in appropriating the money asked
for.
THE WAIL ON PIGEON HILL.
When they undertook their raid into Canada
General O'Neill and his Fenian braves must
have had a notion that the Canadians would
conduct the tar upon Artemus Ward's princi
ple of not using teal bullets. As soon as the
firing commenced and the balls began to
whistle, the invading warriors scattered. Gen.
O'Neill hid behind a house,and Adjutant Gene
ral Donnelly secreted himself' in a wood-shed.
This was in obedience to the first natural im
pulse. A few moments' reflection convinced
O'Neill that he could not conquer Canada by
lying down in somebody's yard. if Napoleon
bad got behind a house every time his enemies
fired a run lie would have cut a smaller figure
in history. So, mustering up his courage, this
sanguinary soldier rushed out and shouted to
his secreted followers: "Men of Ireland, 1
am ashamed of you. You have acted dis
gracefully." As the men of Ireland were just
as much ashamed of their leader,the unanimity
of feeling in the army must have been remar
kably gratifying. A skirmish then began, and
after a few moments' ilring, the. magnificent
Vani° l ' was again disgusted with the
meanness of the Canadians in shooting right
him, and he ran into the parlor of the house,
Where his friend, the United States Marshal,
told Lim to get in the carriage or he would
throw him in; and the General got in. Mean
while, Adjutant General Donnelly remained in
the woodshed and was afraid to come out, be
cause the Canadians were all around him, and
were behaving in such a really disagreeable
manner that It was certain death to venture
forth. If the Adjutant General had been half
as good a soldier as O'Neillhe would have had
a policeman on hand to arrest hint also. Every
competent general arranges for his safe retreat,
if it should become ne , cessary. That Donnelly
did not make such provision,andthat he should
hide in such a place as a woodshed - that could
be penetrated by bullets, proves that this
is If boll,y incompetent for his responsible po
sition.
But where all this time was , Lieutenant-
Colonel Rudolph Fitzpatrick, Adjutant-(:en
era', he., the fiery cavalier, who at Fourth anil
Chestnut streets, a few weeks ago, promised to
give Canada to the United States when he had
conquered " Bow sleeps this brave:"
_.We do init hear Of him in the contest, and
yet this, evidently, was the chance for which
he had lunged. Surely there was a house, or
a wood-shed, or a tree,which would have af
forded protection to this ingenious destroyer 01
nations ; , or, at best, he could have used with
velocity the legs with which heaven has blessed
*. Perhaps, like 111.__ILicawber r _he.-113.4_,
fallen back for a spring,"_and we may Yet
hear of his sudden appearance in Ottawa at
the head of a force and receive the title deed;
'to the whole territory of flit:- 'Dominion. BIG
we advise ourreadors not to alter their maps

AGRI ARM - PACIFIC ROAD.
The passage of the Northern Pacific Rail
road bill by the decided vote of 10'7 to 85, in
ihe House yesterday, was another most im
portant step toward the development of - the
WMIIIIOIIB latent resources of the great North
west., It Is gratifying to see that the . House
-Juts-firmly :resisted the active and persistent
Pressure by which a small but very energetic
lobby has sought to cripple or defeat this great
national measure. The bill now goes to tbe
Pi esident, and tie lobby will follow it there, in
some desperate eflbrt to secure its defeat even
yet: But ft is so improbable that the kirld of
influenees thatliave hitherto been brought to
- aexhist-the .Northern_ _Pacific road will
have any weitTht with the ExeCutive, that the
bill may„ comider. d as a law.
'Re et mpletion of tbd "Union Pacific Rail
road has eurueW hat familiarized the people of
the United States with the importance of open
ing these great highways . across the continent.
W it h the Union and Central roads covering the
middle ground; the Trans - -Contineinal opettiny.
a Southern route, and the Northern Pacific
'connecting Lake Superior with Puget's &fund
and Portland, Oregon, the problem of the settle
ment and civilization of the great Western
w.oild,..with_its.inciderdal Indian and lortroti
questions, will soon be solved. The Northern
Pacific road will traverse a country of remark
able fertility of soil and richness of miuersl
wealth, while its termini, upon the shores of
Lake Superior and at the splendid harbor of
Puget's Sound, must undoubtedly become
points
. of the greatest "commercial interest and
national importance:
Asap industrial enterprise, the construction
of the Notthern Pacific Railroad is one of grew
value-to our American mechanics. Of the
• millions of dollars to be expended, a very large
proportion w ill furnish profitable ernploymen•
to thousands of mechanics and workmen in
our furnaces and forges, mines and shops of
many descriptions; while the country which
the road will open will afford cheap and com
fortable-homes to thousands of the best emi
grants from the Old World.
All the practical experience acquifeZ in bad=
ing the Union and Central Pacific roads wil:
be available for the construction of the roads
yet to be built, and there will no doubt be a
great saving of time and expense as the result.
That the Northern Pacific road will be well,
speedily and honestly built, cannot be doubted
yany who take the trouble to acquaint them
selves with the character of its whole scheme
and management. •
Miss Helen Storge is one of the" little band
of female fanatics in New-York-who advocate
woman's rights and believe in the free love
doctrines of the New York 'Tribune anti
the Independent. Helen has arranged a plat.
form upon Which she proposes to . reconstruct
society. The first resolution in the platform
is as follows :
.
Let the marriage contract be limited to
from one to three years, at the option of the
contracting parties.
•
Even•if the men in the community were
Willing to accept this proposition, there is one
first-rate reason why no decent woman coul.
ever give it her• countenance : It would reduct
the marriage relation to a system of legalized
prostitution,-tbe burden and disgrace of which
would be borne entirely by women. It is not
necessary to undertake to prove that this out
rageous resolution, with every one of its pos
bible consequences, will shock and disgust all
the honest men and women in the_ country,
and will go very far to bring into
contempt and disgrace the whole women':
rights agitation. The motive of the author
Miss Storge, is, we fear, a selfish one. If wive
are to be 'changed every three years, the suppl
eventually will become so small that even Mis
Storge may have a chance, which she neve
could have under the present arrangement
And as no man could possibly live with such a
woman for more than two or three years, it hr
prudent for Miss Storge to provide for her re
tirement from the prospective victim's bed and
board in a legal and graceful manner. But
wbile we admire the ingenuity of this forlorn
maiden, we must protest against a plan which
undertakes to destroy our entire social system
for her benefit. It may be important- that
Helen should have an opportunity to marry.
and ruin the peace of some wretphed being
but it isnot likely that she can induce ever . )
other woman in the land to sacrifice herself in
older to give Miss Storge a shy at the othei
The lobbyists of the British Free Traders
and other parties interested destroyin,
American manufactures and commerce an
among the most insolent and offensive niti
sanees of Washington. One - of theM is a New r
)(oilier, named John Codman, who is under
stood to be a paid agent of the Lairds, the large
ship-owners of Liverpool. His special
ness, at present, is to try and. prevent the pas
sage of the bill to revive the navigation and
commercial interests of the United States.
In the debate yesterday this man was properly
denounced by Mr. :Lynch. In the evening, at
the Arlington House, Codman Was insolent to
General Negley; the faithful and excellent
representative from the Pittsburgh district. He
called the General a liar, the proper response to
o Inch insult was a blow, which knocked him
down. The insult was repeated, and there
‘N as a second knock-down. A cane with
which Codman tried to defend himself was
n rested from his hand by the doughty Gen
eral, and was broken in two. We are not
generally in favor of knock-down arguments;
but in this case, and under such provocation,
there was nothing better to do, and it was so
well done that we are prouder than ever of the
Member from Pennsylvania. Coattail had
now better go home. •
The peculiar wording of a cable despatch a

PHILADELPHIA. EVEN T ING BULLETIN, .MAY 2x,_1870.
Despatelies from Washington relate that.
Generral — Baniks: said, speaking „Of the Fenian,
outlawry, first, that he hoped the Feniani
wirdkl succeed ; second„that. he believed that
if we can only obtain a mere foothold in the
Antilles, Great Britain will withdraw from this
Continent. -If General Banks really did' make
the latter statement, he said a very foolish
thing, which he did not believe himself, unless
lie has lapsed 'into idiocy recently. That he .
expressed a hope that the Feniaris wpuld seize
Canada, is extremely likely, although he,as well
as every other intelligent man, knows, that such
a thing is impossible. The politicians of all
claskes.have given their countenance to the un
lawful and ridiculous schemes of the Fenians
for fear that opposition and expression of
merited- contemptwould Mime their political
in'erf s , s. e are extremely sorry to say that
some of the most influential of the Republican
newspapers, tor the same reason, have hesi
tatee, al d do e ven 110 A hesitate, to denounce
the ort..anizat!on and its outrageous - crimes
boldly and i lainly. The sentiment of, the•
most of tic Ameri 1n people is against Lb
%%hole Fenian mover Tent ; and if the press awl
the politicians bad done their duty, the present
wear and loss of life might have been pre
vented.

11l Success of a Herring Fishery.
The Gloucester Tclivraph says: Five vessels
of the Magdalen Island herring fleet arrived
home Monday and three ou Tuesday. The
balance of the fleet will soon be along. This
fishery has proved an entire failure this
season. The vessels being unable to find any
herring, they are returning home virtually
empty.
'The failure of this branch of fishery this sea
son entails a large losS upon Gloucest •r. The
fleet from other fishery towns of New Eng
land, though much smaller than that of Glen-
Lester, has met with the same ill-success.

VII Me in prices at the Stock Exchange. On stocks the
figure ranges from four to five, and on governments
fr.mi three to four. Commercial paper is without es

The gold market was strong and moderately active.

SHARP PRACWICE

FROM - WASHIrvOTON.
6peci al Despatch to the Phila. Evening Bulletin.)
A Aeet J01.0...t cutest. d Petit DeClated flit
..WAsnixt:roy, May 27.—A sharp dodge was
practiced in the - Rouse - today, by Mr. Cessna,
a'niemboi 'of the Committee on Elections,
whereby Mr. Wallace, who was the contes
tant for the seat of Mr. Simpson, from South
4, Carolina, was declared entitled to his seat,and
accordingly swornin. As soon'as the reading
of the Journal was finished, Mr. Cessna sent.
• to the Clerk's desk a resolution declaring Mr.
Wallace entitled to his seat. But few menabers
were present—not to exceeding forty, all told.
'I he Clerk read the resolution in 'such aloes
voice that the members did not seem to notice
what the nature of it was, or at least to 'con
sider that it -was an election case. The -
Speaker then put-the-question-of a-cloption..to_
the IlouSe, and there being no response in the
negative - , it was declared adopted: The mo
tion to reconsider was then made, and to lay
that motion on the table, which was adopted,
with no dissenting voices. This sealed the
whole matter. The calling of Mr. Wallace to
the bar, by. the Speaker, to sworn_ in, was . _
the first knowledge that the majority of the
members present had as to the nature of the
resolution passed a moment previously. Oh.
jections.were made by a score of voices to
swearing Wallace in, but the Speaker decided
that there was no. way in which . the House
could reconsider their action unless by titian',
mous consent, which, of course, could notlan
obtained. After several members had made's
protest,Republicans as well asDemocrats,Mr.
Wallace was sworn in. The' whole transac
tion is a gond deal commented upon.

(Special Perpatcb to the Philo. Evening Bulletin.]
ABRISBURG, 31-ay 27.—The Sohoeppe case
was continued in the Supreme Court to-day.
Dikriet-Attorney Maglaughlin proceeded to
answer the errors assigned by Schoeppe's
counsel: The post ?norton, examination was
made by experts, and all the old established
practical phyricians of Carlisle coincided in
the testimonY , that death resulted from mor
phine, not excluding the presence, of prussic
acid.
The cheek prey. tinted was acknowledged as
a forgery and was the motive of the crime
Dr. Schoeppe was in want of funds, and drew
the check to supply his wants till the forged
will - was probated. This check was shown to
the Judges on the. Supreme Bench by Mr. Mc-
Laughlin, with another written by Miss,.
Steinnecke, of the same date, to cofhpard the
handwriting:
Miller and Hepburn - , for Schdeppe, ex
plain-edthat•thelirstetteck-shown-as-gennine-
was written by her in the morning, when
well ; the latter, the alleged' for cheek, was'
written in the afteliTr , en she was taken
ill, which would account for the tremulous
ness of the hand-writing.
Mr. Maglaughlin said the will was com
monly regarded as a forgery. The Common._
wealth was prepared to prove it a forgery, but
the defence objected. The Commonwealth
thought it farcical to call the father of the
prisoner -to testify to his own forgery. Why
did not the' defence call him? He recited
other faults of counsel for the defence.
Chief Justice -.Thompson said that the
Mist:Ake - Of the counsel for the 'defence might
operate forsending the case back for retrial ;
such mistakes however, should be urged by
the counsel for Schoeppe.
Mr. kihearer, for the Commonwealth,argued
the errors at length. He drew attention to
the fact that the printed pamphlets given the
Court mere not accurate copies of 'Judge
titaliam E s certified record . of 'the eVidence.
They . were only newspaper reprints.
C met Justice - said - this - was - irn=
portant, and should be settled.
Mr. Miller vouched for the accuracy of the
pamphlets, which he had compared with the
recce d, and received by common consent.
Mr. Shearer denied that Chief Justice
Thompson called on Maglaughlin as
the officer of - the Commonwealth
for his opinion. Mr. Maglaughlin
said the - pamplalets - were — doubtless - subst-w
Bally correct, but they had not been argued
upon by-common consent. They omitted much
thathehad in his notes, but be did not know
how they compared with Judge Graham's
- record. .
Mr. Duller closed. for.. Schoeppe, -contend
ing. that there was no proper. pos_i-mortem ex
amination; the test),vas imperfect; three im
portant parts were not examined. She might
have died of Bright's disease, and the part in
dicating that, was the kidneys; which, were
not touched.
Chief Justice Thompson said he understood
that old.persons seldom died of Bright's dis
ease ; that it was always detected in urination,
by
` wasting of the kidneys.
Mr. Miller cited the case of an old lady in
New York.
J_udge _Thompson said it was. much to he re
gretted that we bad no Juriseonsult here as in
other countries. Be never knew of a pecu
liar case like this where physicians did not
differ.
Mr. Miller said there was not only an ab
sence of the symptoms of prussic acid, but a
complete contradiction—no foaming and no
contraction of the muscles. The deceased
lived twenty-three hours after Schoeppe left,
showing conclusively that she did not die of
prussic acid, because its vietiuis. always ex
pire in from three to four minutes atter ad
ministration.
'There was no -rest a/o/gem—appearance of
morphine, and it was not pretended to prove
the use of morphine by a post mortc/a exami
nation, but by symptoms, all of which were
tavorable to apoplexy. The burden of his ar
gument was to disprove the corpus deticti. The
decision of the court was reserved. The May
term adjourned.

REV/ Lorx uNTs.--Tl:e. scene. in. thell.:S. -
curt this morning,_when the trial et

rather more than ordinary interest. Anterior •
td•the entrance of Judge Cadwallider•the •
limited space for spectators was imeomfort
ably filled. Yesterday there wore ladies lathe
ourt-room. There were none to-day.
trict Attorney Valentine opened for. the.
United States. Ho served to the Jury a dish
of solid logic; , relieved by occasional
,
and apparently involuntary bitS• •of
portentous humor. Be spoke only for 'halfan
hour: Be was followed by tiounsellor O'Neill
for the defence. Mr. O'Neill, ignoring the pro-;1
priety of the policy of setting a thief to catch '
a thief, pointed out in scathing, blistering
hinpuage, the heinousness of character that in
his opinion had been manifested by the princi
pal wine ss in the case, known`as - Cpl. Wight
man. Be -reviewed the testimony at length,
arid appealed to the jury to repudilte and
reject the testimony. of .a man who••bad
already baptized himself - Hi everlasting in
bony.
Judge Cadwalader then gave his charge to..
theThiry. Previous to deittgso ho requested
thezetirement 'of another jury, who are to
proceed at once with the trial of the man'
Grover, charged as another of the beer stamp. ,
clique. As had not the power to order
their retirement, he requested it.. The jury at .
ouce complied. His Honor, in the strongest
toms ever heard from his lips by our reporter,
tore to pieces the character of Wighttnaii. This
man, said the Judge, is to be looked upon 'as
a malefactor, NN hose word is utterly unworthy
of credit. If he is really in the employ of the
Government of the United States, as he de
posee, then the Goverurnent sets the- bad. ex
ample of employing, as an °dicer of justice, to
ditto a minor offender, a man whose word, •
upon his own acknowledgment, is utterly un
entitled to credit.
he testimony of the witness Grover was
next. reviewed, He, .in.the opinion of hie
Heuer, was a more'. dangerous• man than
t a.s ore_daigero us.becatese_
be was an admixture of folly and wickedness.
ahe_.etber man was made up of wickedness
alone. Be bad admitted cOmplibity in this
nefarious business at one time, anti denied it
at another._ The_, evldence gees to show that
this Counterfeitirig - was really the work of
Bart, Grover and others confederated with
them. Because Sherman, ebony individual
whatever, has committed an infraction of the
law, is no reason why he should be bounded
down where be is -really innocent. On the
contrary, in the case of such a person a jury
cannot be too discriminating_in.analyzing.the
animus of the testimony. The evidence of
an accomplice should always be received with
caution, It should never be. mere distract ed than when the greater criminal seeks to ex
culpate himself-and evade the -penalty-of-the
law by. securing the conviction of the lesser.
Judge Cadwalader was never more in ear-
nest than on the occasion of this morning.
His charge was (luarely in favor of the pris
oner—not that he believed him to be innocent
—but that the inculpating testimony was so'
frightfully foul.
In the course of the morning
waiatarrant Tor the arrest of
Wigbtman, on a charge of being engaged in
the " Boodle" business. Upon Wightman's
testimony Judge Cadwalader afterwards said
to the jury he wo . tild not allow conviction to
stand.
The jury now retired. Wightman was upon
the spot. He was taken into cu.4tody, and con
ducted_toAhe_pr_esene_e_of Judveadwalader.-
It is the simple duty of our reporter to record
that he knew of the order for Isis arrest. That
he could have evaded it had he chosen to. do
so is equally certain.. He was ordered to eater
bail in 510A0—an order with which, at this
writing,_he bad not.let-complied. - He-pre
served perfect sung-frotil; — Okiti rig the-matter
with less indifference-than-he-would-nrobably-- -
have manifested upon receiving d stain upon
his wristband. -
As we to press the jury in the case above
named remains in deliberation, and the respec
tive counsel are preparing for the trial of
Grover.
At 21 o'clock the jury-returned a-verdict -of
guilty. The result was a sensation.
REGISTER'S Dectsiorf.—The Register of
Wills, to-day,made the following decision in a
case which has been before him for some time
past:
" In the matter of the petition to revoke the
Letters of Administration - on the Estate =of
Mary Jane Mitchell, deceased. . .
" 'Orion September 20, 1869, Letters of Ad
ministration upon the estate of—Mary Jane
Mitchell, deceased, were granted unto Francis
Clark Hurlbut, the only sister of decedent.
'Upon December 2:1. 1869, Samuel C. Perkins,
Esq., tiled a petition to have the Letters
revoked, ,alleging in said petition that
the-decedent made a wilEdated Miutell_ 24,
1865 in which she divided the residue of her
et4,3j.e_willi the Orphans' Society of the city of
Philadelphia and the Indigent WidoW SO- 7-
ciety, and also alleging that said will was in
existence after her death and in the posses
sion or control of the administratrix. A cita
tion was issued Dec. 24, 1869, upon said peti
tion. The administratrix appeared in pursu
ance thereof, and several' hearings in the mat
ter took place. A copy 'of said alleged will
was oflered before the Register, and its admis
sion to probate in lieu of the original re
quested.
" Now, upon consideration of the foregoing
facts and of the testimony offered, it appear
ing to the Register that it has not been proved
that the will of the said testatrix was in ex,
istence at the time of her death, nor that the
said administratrix had at anytime the pos
session of said will, and it further appearing
that the copy offered for probate has not been
signed by the testatrix.
Now, to wit.: May 26,1 1870, it is ordered
by the Register that the said copy be refused
admission to probate,and that further proceed
ings in the matter be discontiutied ; and that
the prayer of said petition to have the said
Letters of B.dministratkin revoked be dis
allowed
