EVENING BULLETIN Friday, September 30,1870. the Attitude of bin si a. ; Wfi published yesterday a despatch. from Ixmdon'to the New York World in which an effort was made to prove that Russia intends to protest against dismemberment of France by Prussia and to'declare war if its demands are hot heeded. The evidence advanced by this tlespatch is,tolerably strong, although somo of the most important assertions are unsupported by proof. The statements that the Russian Minister at Berlin has threatened Prussia with war, and' that Lord Lyons , has Warned the English, cabinet fcbata conflict is imminent, may or may not be true; but there is no doubt of the faeftbat Russia is making extraordinary preparations,forwar in some quarter, and that troops are being massed upon the frontier of Prussia. The indications, recently, have been that the Czar meditated an assault on Turkey. The time "is exceedingly favorable for the ful fillment of the. traditional policy of Russia in . the East, for, of the two powers which guaran teed the safety of the ,Sultan, *ono is helpless and exhausted, while the other —seems committed to a policy of peace at any price. It would be the most natural thing imaginable for Russia to enter into an agreement' with Prussia by which the Czar should-wYgage to permit seizure of French ter ritory by Prussia provided the latter power re gained from interference with Russian opera tions in Turkey. But, at the same time,-it is true that there is danger to Russia in the fact . mentioned in the semi-official St. Petersburg Gazette, Prussia, with her frontiers on the side-ofFrasce guaranteed, and neutralized » Austria to protect her sou!' he in a position so to dispr to check and easily to pai Russia.”- When Prussia. and secure position as this, Russia constantly, and will be able to offer a greater obstacle to’ the ambitious Russian de signs upon the Baltic, than France' and Eng land have ever done. Of course any attempt to discover the true character of the intentions of the Czar, in the present crisis, must assume the form of con jecture. It is quite impossible to declare ~ positively Whether he menaces Prussia or Tur- key. In either case, however, we may say that the situation is full of promise of fresh disturb ance of the peace of Europe. If Turkey is attacked England probably will be dragged into war; if Prussia is interfered with she . will be very likely to engage the huge northern power in a desperate and bloody war. So we may be assured that the prospect of permanent peace in Europe'is more remote than ever. , PENN SQUARES AS AIN. The staple of the argument in an article in the last Sunday Dispatch, favoring Penn Squares as the only proper site for the public buildings, is, that the city will be giving away that Which is worth two millions of dollars- This fallacy rests upon the assumption-that Penn Squares can be sold by the city, and the proceeds placed in the Treasury. The, city, however, cannot sell ’ this property, although she may, under direction of the Legislature, use or dispose of them as will " most - befit the public good! This at once destroys the force of the.reasoning in the Dispatch. If she cannot Bell, it is talk of the moneyvalue to' •• the city. The next assertion is one which rather im pugns the writer’s jnemory, for we do not - doubt he is thoroughly familiar with the early history of Philadelphia. He says that those ' who vpte for Washington Square ■null “show bow unfit they are to enjoy the great trusts winch Wiliam Penn, in his simplicity ” (that a Is, we suppose he means, in not disposing of \ Penn square for his private benefit), “ nearly one hundred and ninety years ago,supposed that they could understand and properly, value.’’ Again—by voting for Penn Squares we “secure that site to the public use for which it was originally intended.” The writer has pre viously urged, in a protracted legal argument, that Washington Squar e could not be used for public buildings, and that Penn Square s could he rfeed only lor municipal and judicial build ings, rendering it a matter of surprise in speeding so much time and labor in the en deavor to persuade people to vote for Penn rather than for Washington square. Now what are the public uses to which Penh Squires call be devoted ? Wbat description of public use would please our Pounder, could he be again with us in the flesh ? In the first volume of Proud’s History of Pennsylvania, page 2-MJn note, after speaking of Holmes’s map of the city, that historian says: “Similar,to this description of the place is that of Oldmixon in his account of the Brit ish colonies, printed in London, 1708, who af firms he had his information from Williain Penn himself,” namely : tjiat “ the town was laid out and a draught taken by Mr. Thomas Holmes, Surveyor-General of the Province, which now lies before me.” “In the centre is a square of ten acres, for the State House,Mar ket House, School House and chief Meeting Mouse of the Quakers.” - That this statement is correct we have in con firmation this: That Oldmixon’s account was published ten years before Peuu’s death, and that no contradiction of its accuracy by the latter is extant. Arid again, that there was a meeting-house belonging to the Societg of Friends, built upon the ground dedicated by Tam in the manner here referred to. We accordingly see that the idea In this .dedi cation to public uses was that a school-house might be put upon the spot and a Mkktixc;- non sit voiiPitiENDs, showing that his concep tion of a public tiße was not quite so contracted., as that of the Dispatch. And here’’we r the true definition of a public use. It is tha\, which at any period of time will best suit the public interests. A proper public use of. IGS‘2 might not .he a pmpert of 1870. Any other doctrine.. would be most despotic,as well as antagonistic to the public interests. Teutpora mutantur , . nos et mutantur in ÜB*. We can imagine the terms of censure iii.which the Dispatch—and ' very properly—would ’condemn any attempt to ■ ' ; i give either of -the-■four--. reiigiejus . society. Another statement, in which\napoeal j s made to antipathies and prejudices, ceive notice. We refer to this passage: “ The Washington; Square job” jjis got up entirely in the interesl’of property-hojders in that neigh borhood, who expect to make large sums of money by their real estate speculations there.” This is not true. 'That there have been some changes of ownership within the last three or years on tke lour sides of Washington Square —9 • ■we do not dispute, but they will not exceed, those iriade in any other business. pari of the town in the same space of. time. We think these changes will not exceed' five or six in as many years. Napaes might be mentioned,were it proper. The records ard accessible'to any one. But suppose there were latge purchases, is it more improper to make them in the neigh-" borhood of Washington Square, where the Court-house has stood for over a century, than iirtlm neighborhood of Penn Squares, where the endeavor is to place it? It,, is notorious that large purchases of real estate have been made in (be vicinity of Penn Squares in the prospect that, by strenuous exertions, Ih<? public buildings might be secured for that spot. We do not complain of this! People •have, i right to make what disposition they please of their money., But we do complain of the ur(just censure attempted to be cast on those wlio desire to save their property from ’destruction; on those who have made liberal outlays in erecting beautiful structures for business purposes, oh the faith of the jpublic buildings remaining near - their .present site. Have they no rights? Property on Washing ton Square is more largely in the hands of the children and grandchildren of former owners than property on Penn Square. When the few with laree means bought real estate on Penn Square they bought in view of a rise They were willing to chance. It is better that they should be disappointed than that hundreds of innocent partieSTliEould be ruined. . . In conclusion,we cannot pass without notice the remarkable change of views in the Dis patch. It has always been a strenuous oppo nent to any.obstruction of Broad street. It is now an advocate for vacating Broad street and Market street, and . placing the public buildings in the centre. This the citizens will never submit to, as they will overwhelmingly testify oh the second Tuesday of October. .. NEXT TO MURDER. Mr. Commissioner Biddle did not use too strong a phrase when he characterized the in famous fraud which has just been unearthed in several wards of thismty as a crhncnext to mur der; A deliberatesjstem of rascality, conceived by Democratic managers, aided' by Democratic policemen,.executed by-Democratic scoundrels, paid for by Democratic money, has assailed the highest and dearest right of every citizen of Philadelphia. The registry rolls of Phila delphia have,been crammed with false names of men who have been taken, from precinct to precinct by Mayor Fox’s policemen, who have repeated their, perjuries over and over again, until it is believed that single individuals have registered themselves in various precincts fifty .times. It is indeed next to murder; and the distance between the two grades of crime is not very great. For by. these frauds, the mass of the people of this great city are to be robbed and governed. It is by these frauds, should they accomplish their designed effects, that the laws of a free people are to be made.- By these frauds, one scoundrel may cancel and neutralize th 6 vote's of fifty honest men, and there is no crime in the calendar that is not fostered and encouraged by the demoralization that follows close in the train of the success of such monstrous frauds as these. It is a cause for public congratulation that this detestable plot.bas been discovered in time to defeat its success. And this defeat will come in two ways. The exposure already made will enable those who mean to protect the ballot-box from this outrage to follow up their lines of research intelligently, hopefully and fearlessly. And it'will bring- out a Repub ’lican vote which otherwise would have been dormant at the coming election. The right eous indignation of honest men is roused at sdeh an infamous conspiracy. as this, and that indignation will be expressed by an earnest effort to poll the full vote of the decent people ■of Philadelphia. Those who have unearthed these shameful frauds must push their hunt with remorseless energy and activity, and the result will be a defeat of a conspiracy which has for it’s purpose a crime against society and its laws, wel 1 said to be next to murder. OUR WATER SUPPLY. “Nothing illustrates, so well, the rapid stride by which our city is advancing in size and pop ulation, as the yearly increase in expense and labor in the water department. We' had, at one time, the reputation of being the best water-supplied city on the continent; now, the. storage capacity of all our reservoirs 4s only, a two-days’ supply for the city. And this two days’ supply is the result of immense labor, and at the cost of $700,000 per annum, on an average, for the last five years; and _of several millions of dollars from the establishment of the Faiimount Works to the close of 1804. The great difficulty in this matter is the same that occurs in providing for all other wants of great growing cities. It is a; failure to comprehend the demand that will bb made in the future for adequate supplies. • Our works, on examination, seem immense. The following shows, in round numbers, the Work done at each place. It is a statement of the number of gallons pumped into the reservoirs during the year 1809 : Works. F airuiount, Schuylfcill, Delaware, - ■ West Philadelphia, Germantown, Twelve and a half billions gallons of water, used by our city in one year,and many dwellings entirely without water above the first story,and only two days’ supply on hand 1 To remedy the defect it is proposed to build two new reservoirs, and enlarge that of the works. One is to be erected at Straw beriy Mansion to hold 80 millions /gallons, and the other in the East Park to hold 0:10 millions. The enlargement of • the Dela ware works-will give an extra storage' of 18£ millions. When these are all done, and in :,use, they will, with the old reservoirs; retain a supply. But the city does not stand still, and, from [present indications, before the improvements are completed the supply will again be short of the demand. ' It is to be hoped that our- municipal author ities will wake up. td a-inoie lively senso of fhe ' present and future necessities of-our city, and take measures to provide for them on a scale ' commensurate with the immense growth of Philadelphia.- The’Schuylkill is ample fur the supply of the city for generations to come, if its water is.properly.used .and stored. For our reservoirs we want lakes, npt pools. In the Central Park, New York, there is a which Ins a surface of one hundred acres. It. is doubtful Whether all of ours combined would make more than fifty. .

AIAJEKIASi DEMOCRACY. tie l’eople to took for Popular Bights. A London journal of the 20tb of August re ports as folio rvs : j * It seems highly probable that there will be 1 disturbances among the French as well as the Arab population ol Algeria. We gather from a long and vehement article in the Akhbhr (Journal de i’Alqirie), of imperial proclivities, • that three gentlemen,' well known as leading men of high character among Algerian colo .Hints, have refused to. take the oaths of allegi ano&Uo the Government, thus excluding them selves from sitting in the General Council,and, as the' Akhbar expresses it, making it appear that the mtyority of the Algerians are hostile to the Government. ' M. Joly, the head of this party, has avowed openly that he 'will seize every occasion of showtDg hisjTostility to the government, M.

The Prussians maintain their stand at Bagneanx, near Chatilion, where they are rapidly con structing works for the, reception of' artillery. On the terrace of Meudon they are also throwing up entrenchments, and' from this" point and Bagneaiix they can obtain an excel lent range against forts Vauves and D’lssy. The guns of Meudon already threaten D’lssy.' The' Prussians have entirely evacu ated Bambouillet, upon the road to Chartres, and withdrawn to the latter’city. fHie movement against Tours has been totally recalled, and the people from Orleans are returning to their homes. The cheering hewaof the nuu|erous de feats of the Prussians around Paris has been wonderfully inspiring to the people of Tours, who warmly applaud tiie faith of their Parisian brethren. • ■ . ■ The work of searching for documents with in the palace of the Tuilleries, secreted by the Imperialists before the fall of the Empire, has succeeded in unearthing from their conceal ment, j» great mass of papers bearing upon the financial operations of the Empire, and seriously compromising prominent officials and persons of influence at Court. Destitution and Devastation at Carls. rnhe. i. Cahlsbuhe, Sept. 30.—Many citizens of Carlsrnlie have arrived here In a destitute con dition. They report the rain, and- devastation throughout the”city as deplorable. ’ The’ heavy Are of the PrussiaiTUattflries was con centrated against that part of the city between the Gate Des Pierres and the gate- Des Pech'-' ienr. Here the most ruinous destruction en sued, as all the principal structures of the city are here situated. The ancient Cathedral, sadly contrary to ex pectations, is found to be much damaged in masonry by shot. The magnificent tower has been considerably shaken, and in some places thr rosettes and projections have been dis placed by stray shots. > But its grandeur and adamantine stability remain. The pnbllc library,’ of 100,000 volumes, rich in its collections of the early efforts in printing, has been totally destroyed.. The theatre was burned on the occasion of the recent awful -calamity. The railway de pot at the Porte de Saverne, tilled with the rolling stock of the Paris railroad shared in the destruction wrought by Prussian shells. The depot, from its exposed position, early offering a good mark for the Prussian gun ners’, was singled out and battered with shot, and then’burned With shells. ’ The citadel has been occupied in heavy force, and the breaches are being filled up and the destroyed bridges replaced. The ruins of the public buildings and dwell ings will be rejnoved, and the general work of restoring it to its wonted beauty will be soon undertaken. ’ , The disposition of the inhabitants, though not t openly hostile towards the Prussians, is one gt sullen coolness. The captives of the garrison have been re moved to ope Of the Rhine fortresses’ •Toxjbs, Sept. 30.—Advices received from Paris, dated yesterday, are very favorable. The troops.havehad'numcrouk successes over the Prussians, jyho at several points havo been driven from positions ■ previously captured, and those points again occupied by the French. Among the works thus regained are the Plateau of Villejuil, the heights of Chatillon, file town of Bourg La Reine and La Brie Surp Marne.' 1 At other points in the Northeast the French had retrieved their losses.. Altogether the operations of the Prussians have beon seriously harassed and their investment shattered. * -■ <•' Financial and Commercial.

Presentment of tbe'Grand Jary. To the Honorable the Judges of the Cojfrt of Oyer md Terminer and Quarter Sessions for the city and county of Philadelphia: The Grand Xn quest orthACOMmonwealthofTennsylvania, inquiring for the city and county of Phi ladel phiafor the'September session,-187©., respect , fully presept: . That they, the-Grand Inquest, have dili gently discharged the business that came to their potice, with a,desire, that.in all their de cisions the public good ahd the punishment of crime should be obtained. ' The Grand Jiiry.have had before them in ’dictments charging almost every crime known to.the law : they have acted upon 503 bills,and have returned 354 as true bills, and have ig nored 209 bills; of this large number tbe ma jority were for larceny and assault ahd bat tery. Many of the latter should never have reached the Grand Jury, as they were of no 'serious account, and some were the result of. a sudden outburst .of 1 pnssion or' feeling by ’, those who, up to. that , time, had been on friendly intercourse, and the . magistrate be fore Whom the parties first came should never have sent them before the Grand Jury, to say, as has been said to this Grand Jury, thatthere was no desire to prosecute the case; - The Grand Jury in their labors have noticed, that the cause directly leading to many of these violations of law, and the disorder in society, is the increase in the improper use of intoxi-’ eating liquors. The rapid increase of low driplnng-houses in our city, some of which perhaps are not licensed, calls upon the Grand Jury, and upon every good citizen, to inquire if our present license law does not require some amendment. The Grand Jury would most earnestly urge upon the. lawful authori ties to restrain the illegal.sale of intoxicating liquors. . . The Grand Jury, in their visit to the County, Prison, were impressed with the general good order and faithful management ot the Prison. Whiie they are well aware of the great amount of criminal business of the county of Phila delphia, and the necessity that may sometimes , eanse a delay, they would express the hone that prisoners charged with slight offeuces, and not able to procurp bail, should have a speedy trial. 'The Grand Jury would further recommend that the prisoners who are in the County Prison, who are there for , a short sentence, or are awaiting trial, be furnished with suitable bedding. ! The Grand Jury, in their visit to the Alms house, wenti .without any announcement of their coming—akalso they did in all their visits to the coilnty institutions—ho that they could witness the every-day working of the in stitution. They found the Almshouse in a very satisfactory condition for such a crowded place, and withsuch a changing population its clean liness and good order is commendable. The Insane Department is tilled beyond its capa city, which is to be relieved by adding a wing to the building. • On visiting the House of Refuge the Grand Jury were pleased with the appearance of the boys at thelr.employment, and satisfied of its beneficial effect upon those who come under its control, and bear testimony to its excel lent management. ' f- The Grand J ury visited Girard College. This is one of our city’s noblest charities, and the Grand Jury believe that its interior adminis tration is in harmony with its great outward adornment. Here they saw thb boys at play, the boys at dinner, and they apfldared happy, Anh looked contented. Evidently they have good instruction, good food] and are well clothed; and with five hundred boys there were none sick, which is good evidence they have good health. . Tbe Grand Jury also visited the Eastern Penitentiary. This is the prison that receives aJLprisoners sent to’it from the eastern part of the State, after their trial,conviction and sen tence in’the various counties of that part of the State. This prison is in.admirable order ; the appearance, disciplines, and cleanliness is commendable.- It is to be regretted, however, that 'the State |,does not allow its Sown laws to be carried out. By the law of Pennsylva nia the convict is to be kept in solitary con linement, hnt th 6 mipoher of convicts is in ex cess’of the apartments for them, and, as a con sequence, insome instances two convicts oc cupy the same cell. The State should either extend the capacity of the prison.or should hv law provide that convicts who are sentenced to a shortterm should he kept in the County Prison. . At all these public institutions the Grand Jury had every facility extendeil to them for inspection of these places by those having the official management. The Grand Jury further present the viola tion of law by the various Railway companies of the city in not keeping in good order the streets over which their roads pass, thus'’fur nishing a pernicious example to the rest of the community ; also, the dangerous condition .in which’the people of Manayunk are placed by reason of the Philadelphia, Germantown and Norristown railway crossing at least seven f' eets at grade, at which points not less than ree thousand people pass four times each y, and at which points twenty trains pass every day, and at none of these crossings is .there any flagman.

[By tho American Press AssocEatfon.] Tbe Faftragut Obsequies—Arrival of the Bemoins In New York. New Yobk, Sept. MO.— At six o’clock this mornjng the City U'ouncil went down on the lower' bay, on boardjthe police steamer Metro politan, to meet the United States steamer Brooklyn, conveying the remains of Admiral Farragut. Between .8 and S) o’clock a des patch was sent aronl-. the members, of the Board announcing the arrival of the Brooklyn. ? She was steaming up into the bay.. It was announced that the intention was to run the Brooklyn to a- point off the Battery, where she wbuld Gome to auchor, and the re mains would be conveyed from thence, on hoard the police boat, to -the foot of Canal street, where the c'ortegf^ijh'arrive and es cort to their fifial renting bi^ne. A* disagreeable rain-storm prevails, being the inauguration of the equinQctial.storm ;,buh it is" understood the Committee of Arrange-, ments will not'nostpone the 1 ceremonies. The military are now proceeding-to the rendez vous. ■ ' ; - Caparisoned in mourning weeds, and ■ with colors half-mast,-the Brooklyn steamed up the- Bay at 10.30 A. 11. On the poop-deck, canopied by the Ameri can ensign, was the catafalque, upon which, rested the mortal remains 'of ’ our illustrious F arragut. The steamboat Metropolitan, having on board the members of the City “Council, acted as a consort. Minute guns were fired from the several forts in tho‘ harbor as the' Brooklyn passed. T Flags were everywhere displayed at half mast, telling in their silent eloquence the story of, universal and genuine sorrow. When the noble steamship reached the city arid was just entering the crowded charinol of North river, the speed was slackened and she proceeded slowly up as far as tho foot of Canal street, where she came to her mooring out in the middle of the stream. In spite of the lowering /clouds a large crowd gathered about pier 39 North river at an eariv hour this morning. There was : not - much display of bunting on West-street, but the houses along Canal street and Broadway /, were nearly all draped, presenting a sombre appearance. * The pier on which the remains were to be landed had no decorations, to the surprise of everyone. ' . • ... At ten o’clock detachments of twb hundred police arrived, under charge of Inspector Copeland, ■ -, They immediately cleared the vicinity of the pier. A little after the Army and Navy Offi cers’ Legion arrived,and the artists were busy sketching. _ A number of, soldiers arrived from Governor’s Island, and put ashore at pier 40. The guard of honor,'com prising forty sailors, from the navy-yard, and ninety marines under Col. Broome, both with standards, and the of ficers with their sword-hilts covered . with crape, Capt. Creighton, aid to Admiral String ham, CJapts. Woolsey and Waters, Lieut.- Commander Prichard, and all the subordin ates of the navy-yard, arrived.. The receiving-ship, sailors and marines im mediately formed in line awaiting the arrival of the body. ■ The rain commenced and presaged a truly mournful day, and the officers, who had donned their new uniforms, and the men looked mefully in the street. Admiral Boggs, chief officer of the Guard of Honor, arrived, and Colonel Wagstaff, the. Deputy Marshal, arranged the details of the march, r The Brooklyn passed the foot of Canal Btreet with the deceased Admiral’s flag at the main, dropped,anchor, and the men,-as the body left the ship, removed the yards. As soon as the body was- deposited on the top of the catafalque, the flag was hauled down and placed-on the coffin, i the United State? flag being run up instead.' The vessel slowly steamed for the pier, the band playing a solemn dirge. .Minute-guns . fiom-the frigate belched a parting salute- fho j tug arrived at the pier, the m.ariues presented arms, the spectators uncovered a few minutes. The remaiiis placed oii the bier were con -taiued in two c.ottins, the outer rosewood, silver mounted, aud a magnificent silver plato with the date of the Admiral’s birth anil death. &The coilin was covered by an immense black velvet pall with gold bullion on it, , and the word Farragut in gold ,on the corners silver anchors, on the top ot the coffin the Admiral’s flag.; and over that his coat, hat - and Bwovd. * wjjtjo these preparations were going on,the members of the Committee, officers present, soldiers and sailors who fought under Farra gut, and the marines, formed into column, headed by a band, and marched out in the fol io'inc order: Marines and sailors.preceded bv two of them bearing a flag; the body .with marines with reversed arms. Each corner : was borne by eight sailors; then the chiqf , mourners, officers and meii who served under the departed. ' „ ~,. . . .Shortly before 11.30 the Grand Marshal, General Webb, and- his aids rodo up. All being ready, the band played a dirge, and the procession started from the foot of Canal street. ‘ ", '• BOUT OF PHILADELPHIA—SKfTBMBitK 30. &~Si* Marini Bulhtin on Jnsidt Fats» Steamer W \Vl*Ui|?nT%tefln«f '“‘teSrTshewr&g, Corson, from Boston, with in to llo\Vhii, 8 < !
