EVENING -.BULLETIN Monday, Oetober• 18704 A GREAT AY EDPIIE. The subject of the proper development of Broad street is one that can neither be post' ponea nor neglected, in view of the- fact that. the Legislature has required us tto decide at the election; now but a,"Jew days off, upon the future of this street for all time. We therefore take up the subject where we lately left it off. We then remarked upon the distinct and characteristic impression that a city makes upon a stranger even in the first hotirs of. quaintance with it. Now, the force and power of this impression will be found, upon exami ',nation, to depend to a very great extent upon the existence of at least one great avenue. The impression made by New. York upon all strangers depends almost wholly upon - Broad way. Take away Broadway, and New York is scarcely better than Brooklyn. For want of a great avenue, Cincinnati does not make upon a, traveler anything like the impression that 'ma city should make. Although Paris has so many fine streets, the capital impression is always m de by the boulevard extending unbroken, un er various names, from the Place de la•Bastile to the Madeleine. Suppose now that it had been suggested to Hausonann or to Louis Napoleon, among the improvements and alterations made on so large a scale during the last fifteen years inTaris, to build a huge Court House right across the 13onlevard,let us say where the Rue Montmartre strikes it, or perhaps where the Boulevard Sebastopol crosses it; occupying the .whole of the streets, and much more,nd cutting off the • great avenue hi the middle (tits course, would • not such a proposition have been received with a smile of derision? The suggestion would 'never have received a moment's consideration, and would have covered its . proposer with end less ridicule ; lie would have been treated as an idiot. Yet such a proposition would have been exactly correspondent to what we are now asked to decide upon with all the solemnity of a popular vote! When the amount of, accommodation re- quired by the various departments of the city government, courts., &c. had been actually as certained by consulting these departments, it became at bnce so apparent that the old pro position at one time of building upon two or more blocks of Penn Squarewas impracticable, that even its most determined advocates were obliged to give it up. There remained, there fore, the alternative only of giving up Penn Square altogether, or else of taking possession of the central intetsection itself.. In this dilemma, they \ selected the latter bold alterna tive, and have obtained power front . the Legis lature to close up both Broad. and 3larket streets should the Penn Square site be chosen, The act-expressly authorizes the commissioners to vacate " as much of Broad and of Market streets as they may deem necessary. It is not the first, and probably will not be the last ex ercise by the LegisTature of its very dangerous power over our streets. FolAnately, however, in the present case, these streets are not to be closed without our sanction, and it we are weak enough-to give it, we shall _deserve to lose our one ' great opportunity for a great avenue: ' THROUGH TRAINS. With all the great advances that, have been made in railroading, during the last few years, there is still a great deal of room for further improvement.- So far as Philadelphia, is con cerned, there is a • great 'want of additional accommodation in at least two directions. We refer to our communications with New York and Washington. In the first case, there- are two things greatly needed. , One is a Through Trttia, each way, at least once a day. Now, we have no "through train'' between New York and Philadelphia. The fastest trains are way trains, after all. We believe there are no trains that do not stop at Bristol, Trenton, Princeton, New Brunswick, Elizabeth and Newark, to which must be added the stop at rillantua Junction. There may be some one train that omits one of those sta tions, but we are not sure of that. What both Philadelphia and New York want is a train that shall go through, as trains•are now run on the Pennsylvania Central, from city to city without slopping. Without increasing the present rate of speed, the distance could be made in two hours and a half, including ferri age, and there are plenty of people whs will gladly pay an increased fail, if that is Aces sary, to secure quick, unintkrupted travel. , We commend the proposition to the serious con sidertion of the enterprising gentlemen who are the active managers of the road,as one that is perfectly practicable, and will be, certainly profitable. Then au important improvement is wanted • in the present trains whichare made up 0f , ,, Western and Pliladelphia cars. -Most of these trains, as they now leave New York, comprise five or,slx heavy sleeping cars for the West,' a baggage car, and two or three passenger cars for Philadelphia. With a large number of sleeping cars, which are fifty per cent. heavier -- - -":.J..-.Zgor.oidinary cars, it seems almost impos sible to make schedule time, and passengers to Philadelphia are constantly annoyed by delays of from'half fo i ,three-quarters of an hour, in consequence Of the extra weight of the West ;,..ern • cars. The " Consolidated Companies' , have accomplished so much in the way of im proving the time on their road and increasing the comfort of their passengers, that we be lieve they will not be satisfied fflitil every rea sonable cause of complaint is removed. Every train on such a short road as that between Philadelphia and New, York 8110111(1 make its time to the minute, and do it always. Re ducing the number Of stops, increasing the power of the engineS,: '''' dividing the trains When too heavy for one engine, allowhig one half to get oft ten minutes ahead-of schedule time . ; leaving the other half to start-on time, are all expedients %Odell we respectfully sub mit to the consideration of the practical man --lagers of this important line. By one or another of them the difficulty can no doubt be obviated, Another Want of increased railroad facilities, .connected with the_subject of through. trains relates to our' Southern, connections. phia is four hours nearer to Washington than New York and yet travelers from Nikita_ phia:cannot reach the Capital d by any direct route a minute sooner on account of this dif ference on account of -time. Passengers who leave here at eight o'clock in the morning, can rot.go through to Washington, hut must wait over, until the passengers who leave New York •-•-at-h. , 10,-M—overtake,:them,- or at least wait two or three hours for a way train on the Bahl_ anon Rut! Ohio road, by which, with a trausler ~,,..y,.~.,:.wa.,~....:w:+:~_--use ~.r~ i-_.w»+~-~.~~~(- -aut~..A`iu a r -;2•a ... .x::~., ~ ... l iq _ . of baggage and chang,e,of cars, theymay reach Washington about an hour earlier than passen gers leaving New Fork three-quarters of an hour after they.left Philadelphia. • One of the consequences of this break of • connection between Philadelphia and Wash ington is that the ;miming papers of this city do nON.reach Washington until six o'clock in the evening, the same time at which the New York papers arrive. ,There is no objection to New York enjoying all the advantages which its location, its importance and itss o enterprise deserve, but there-is something most umeason able in, requiring Philadelphia to wait upon New York, in her communications with sec tions of the country to which we are a hun dred miles nearer. There should certainly be a through train to the Capital, leaving Phila delphia in the morning, with a direct connec tion at Baltimore, and we trust that the sub-_ ject will be seriously considered by the management of the two roads concerned in this important connection. ME LATE DIME OF NASSAff. A cable telegram mentions that the'Duke of Nassau, a general of the Prussian army, along Ni, t ith two of his staff, had been killed while riding in a carriage, along with the King of Prussia and stall; _who were in _other carriages, on the way from Rheims to Chalons. A num_ ber of shots were fired by Frenchmen from an anibuscade, but no persons were struck except those in the Duke's carriage. The attack was made on the 24th ult., and the Duke died the next day. • Prince Adolph Wilhelm August Karl Friedrich, Duke of Nassau, was born July 24th, 1817, and succeeded his father as reign ing Ake, August 20th, 1839. He was twice married : first to a Russian princess who died childless, and then to the Princess Adelaide, of Anhalt, by whom he had two sons and a daughter.- The duchy of Nassau was seized by Prussia'in ISW, and its annexation to that kingdom was confirmed by, a treaty concluded in 1807. The Duke was a general of cavalry in the Prussian army, and Chief of .a West phalian regiment of lancers. He has rendered good service to' the German cause in the war with Francei— • • The reduction of the National debt in the month of September amounted to over nine millions of dollars. During seven months, from March Ist to October Ist, the reduction has amounted to 591,414,824. This has been the work of a Republican President, a Repub lican Cabinet, and 'a Republican Congress. At the same time important reductions in the taxes have been niade by the same Republican au thorities. • The people should determine to show their approvarof the great work thus done by voting at the election next week, in favor of the Republican candidates.

The army, Which was assembled at Saint Maurit and Strasbourg, organized immonse open-air con greg,ations,and were earnestly exhorted by the chaplains, both Catholic and Protestant. The whole army.then offered thanks for their vic tory, the Protestant regiments on the one side and the Catholic regiments on the other. At the Protestant service the clergy assured General Werder of the loyal devotion of an immense majority of Strqoourgers to Ger many, and their intense desire to be once more resting within the protection of father land. The ceremonies attracted thousands of the citizens of Strasbourg,and even many from tills city. Condition of the City. since the occupation a greater opportunity has been afforded tAstimate the ruin and des olation wrought within the city by the fire of the Prussian artillery, which, towards the last, was incessant and terribly destructive. General Werder, in his report upon the condition of the city, states that the Prussian fire was characterized,iiy extreme accuracy p and precision. Every •ominent structure in Strasbourg, against which either shells or shot were directed, was either destroyed outright, t ogether with adjoining buildings, or rendered irreparably ruined. The devastation is come, quemly terribl6.' Entire streets of tenantless houses torn to pieces, footways encumbered with, debris and abandoned household furniture, and an utter picture of deSelation are presented every where.. The ruins of public. buildings stand bleak and deiolate,:'surrMtuded by piles of rubbish. In Abe centre of the city two largo faubargs are entirely in ruins. The celebrated picture gallery, with nearly all its treasures of art, is wholly destroyed. Some.few pictures were saved.• From inhabitants who were in the city during the course of the siege, it is learned that the bombardment- last wifek .killed an aVerage of ten civilians daily. Many of these unfortunates perished in their blazing dwell: , ings, whilo-others were killed iu out-of-the way places and yet remain uninterred: Par ties have been detailed to • clear away the , rubbish from the main square and avenues.
