,Decadence of Crinoline.
There is great cause for piffilio gratula
tion.— We - have to announce ,the evident
dlininution of crinoline. We believe that Phi
ladelphia is ahead of the other cities of the
Union, In thlirespect. ThIS was to he anti.
cipated, for it is admitted that there is purer,
taste In female attire, in this city, than in anyl ,
other part of, "the Union. Crinoline has mi.
doubtedly abated Ifs exaggerations may
continuo—among :the Biddies and the colored
et ladies," but there remains little of it among
well.dressed gentlewomen; just enough to give
a graceful fulness to the *lrt, and'remain con.
ducive to a healthful condition of the body.
Every one who walks np Chestnut street and
uses his eyes ; every one who enters a parlor
wherein femininei do congregate, must ob
serve the truth of what we say. The balloon.
shapeddresses', hive collapsed: In conse
quence, there will he room for .one thousand
additional gentlemen at the Academy Bali, on
next TuCsday evening.. Sufficient crinoline is
retained to make the -dress graceful, easy, and.
healthful. The proper medium has been at.:
tained. 7 •
This sensible result is said to be owing ,to
the gmpress Etrossinc's regret at the exrava.
ganeo to which the fashion, revived by her, a
few months previous to the birth of the Prince
Imperial, had been. pushed. A. Paris paper

it was riniarkedthat several ladlesiiand among
them thikPrinceas de. , MErroitineti, the Prin.
Cele MURAT, and Mme. AGUidiO, appeared
without crinoline, and with dresses rather short
in the Waist, somevoiat is the style of those - of
the first empire." We cannot say a word In
- "favor of the short 'waists, which are equally
unnatural and abominable. And, with .the
greatest respect for the memory of TeeliPllMS,
who wan Queen of Fashion, as , well as Em.
press -of--the--French, we must declare that
the style of the that Emllre, when the waist
was worn almost up In the arm-pita, was out, of
all character, so far - 0 grace Wail concerned.
Avoiding' Scylla, people often 'strike upon
Charybdis, and so, abandoning crinoline, care
must betaken not to tall back upon the unbe
coraieg fashions which prevailed between fifty
and sixty years ago.
In the height of . our joy' over the reduction
of crinoline to moderation, we generously coin
naupi,Zate to our female readers the latest bit
' of fashionable news froni Paris—viz: that black,
-violet, and - green are the favorite colors; that
satin is correct for the demi-teilette ; that the
,Empress patronizes black velvet, most elabo
rately 'embroidered in silk; that black velvet
cloaks are worn With the smallest possible
quantity of lace anitbugles; and that,'particu

but croditithle to the tity.tathorillea,. and we
are- told that an equally bad- state of things
exists In Ode Other parts of the city. By the
act et Consolidation the power of erecting

boan'corapellod to rent such rooms and build
Inge as they could, to meet the increasing
•wants. of the community. 'litany of .these
rooms are in bad situations, poorly lighted
and ventilated, and ovor•crowded with pupils.
If.the state of things existing In the Fifteenth
ward is any criterion to Judge from, it should
awaken the Councils and people of the city,to
the necessity of a change in the system.
If a system of publiceducation is to be sus—
tabled, It should be such as to supply the
wants of all the citizens—a partial - or ittejli,
cient one is worse than none t _ll-tharo *to no
system of publie_lostructlOn the wants of the
people would Indtice them to.provide adequate
schools for their children. As it is, they are pre
vented from doing thi,s,'by the public systeM,
and thus the - whole community is injured. It
Hill not do to plead the great cost of a proper
system. No matter what the cost : if the pub.
lie assume' the duty they should perform it
fully.
By the last reports of the Board of Control !
lersooer three Monsand children were waiting
admimon to the public schools. This should net
be. The loss to these children of a low months! ,
schooling can never be made up to them. Many
may have but a few months of their lives to
spare to go to school ; they cannot wait months
or years till means are provided for their in
struction. Let our Councils, therefore, take
up this subject in all its length and breadth,
and provide ample means of suitable instruc
tion, in proper buildings, for all the children of
the city—cost what it may.
Veatb of Col. Samuel D. Patterson.

Montgomery county, was under his control; and
his Went% as a writer, rendered the produetjens
of his pen widely popular and influential. During

he was the pablisher of Graham's Magazsas,
as well no of sacral leading literary news

Monday, the 13th instant, is fixed for the an
nourieement of the death of the Hon. DoKid 0. Bro
derick, late Senator In °engross, from California.
I understand that obituary speeches may be ex-
MMted in the Senate from Mr. Tombs, of Georgia,
Mr. Seward, of New York, and others ; while in
the House Messrs: Hickman, Ifei3kin, and Morris
of Illinois, will commemorate the virtues of the
lamented deceased. Broderiok, If ho had lived to

beliere, content to dim Late news from °Offer
'nia, however, shows that his enemies aro being
overtaken by a rapid and fearful retribution. The
defeat of Governor Weller for Senator, by Milton
S. Latham, is Announced to be but the precursor of
the overthrow of William M. Gwln, whose election
comes elfin the course of the next year. I learn
that some contest will grow out of the distribution
of the estateof Mr. Broderick, on the part of per.
sons claiming to be his heirs, who, it is said,
threaten to contest the wilt alleged to have been
made by Mr. Broderick in 1857.
In the formation of oommitteos ' Speaker Pen.

I am glad to inform your readers that Pennsylva
nia will , be well cared for by the Committee of
Ways and Means ; Mr. Sherman being warmly in
favor of such protection to her interests as will be
permanent, and the majority of the committee en
tertain opinions in sympathy with him. Mr.
mer,,of North Carolina, goes to the head of the
Committee on Elections, one of the moat important
in the whole list; Mr. Etheridge, of Tennessee, en
Indian Affairs, another leading committee. ICA

chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations ;
sfillward, of Pennsylvania, on Patents; Colfax, of
Indienaion•Post Moos and Post Roads; Crow, of
Pennsylvania, on Territories; Stanton, of Ohio, on
Military Affairs; are all capital selections, and give
assurance of a vigorous and practical session.
The revelations of the committee appointed by
the Senate to investigate the truth of certain
charges preferred ageing those having the print-
ng entreat for the landed States contain some ex
traordinary facts. The oountry.hae been Informed
by the witnesses examined by that committee that
$lOO,OOO of the vast sum contributed by the people
to defray the cast of the pubito printing has been
expended in a few of the Middle States, for the pur
pose of aiding to elect candidates and assisting to
slipped newspapers friendly to the National Ad
ministration ; and, that the citizens need entertain
no doubt as to the worthiness of tho recipients of
this tempting amount, they are furthermore appri
sed that it was given to those selected by OFFICIAL
suraoarrY. There being no question as to tho ram
that the money was thus lavished, the only inquiry
that suggosts itself to the taxpayer is, what is
meant by edible authority? In this age, when
custom-house clerks are dismissed from their posts
for daring to vote at a precinct election contrary to
theeommands of their superiors, it would be ab
surd to suppose that the subordinate ever originates
any measure, or commits any act; which is not ap
proved of by those who appointed him, Therefore,
Adel authority does not mean that this expendi-
ture emanated from the employees of the depart
ments ; and it would seem to imply the heads of the
departments; but the feet that even Cabinet mints
tem are inferior to another being, leaves us to con
clude that by ," official authority" is intended the
one on whom all these dignitar 4 fes are dependant—
the being who sets this power into motion, the
" venerable public functionary" whose Presiden

The person, then, who caused this misappropriation
of tho people's money, ii (with shame I write
it)—the Chief Magistrate of this Republic.
I do not again propose entering Into any disops
aton as to the merits of Mr. Buchanan's views on
the Leoompton question—thoso views aro well
known to the country, and the people, by allover
wheiming majority, have do:dared their unsound

any party, however just their principles, to wort
to bract* ? The plea so often presented by politi.
ohms In reply to the charge of corruption—that
theiroppoxiouta do the same thing—is no detente.
No criminal would darn offer, as his excuse for com-
witting crime, that others are equally guilty,
Such an attempted palliation would procure for
him no mitigation of the severity he so justly de
serve', and would only render him pa object of
ridicule: The assertion which !spade in this osse,
.that the Republican; and the Americans distribute
money for the purpose of carrying elections, is no
defence to the charge preferred against Mr. Bu

The National Convention of the Democratic par.
ty which met at Cincinnati in 1856, declared "that
they recognised it us a distinct element of their
political creed, the great element in a form
of government - springing from and upheld by the
popular will, and they contrasted it with the creed
and practice of Federalism, under whatever name
or form, which seeke to palsy the will of the con
stituent, and which conceives no imposture too
monstrous for the popular credulity."
Distributing money to prevent the people from
indicating their will, would ho characteristic of
the Federalist, whilst a Democrat would instinc-
tively shun and abhor such . practices.
The National Decooorsey have bean placed in a
false position by their elected chief. Instead Of
assailing their adversaries, they aro compelled to
defend the aota of ono, who has not only violated
his obligations as a Democrat, but his duties as a
citizen ; one who, if he were nominally, as he
Isla reality, an anti•Domooratio President, would
have his impeachment clamored for by his sup
porters, for the part which he has played in 'the
disposition of the public treasury.
- It is unnecessary for me to reflect on the cense
clitences which must inevitably ensue if this cqr•
ruption continue. No one has better described its
result than Mr. Buchanan in hie Duquesne letter.
That letter was written shortly after the time this
money had been thus lavished by official authority.
So that he has, by his own language, depicted
the cooseqUences which will happen if his example
is imitated. Ha has sought to " poison the foun
tain of free government at its source," and thus
endeavored to pave the way for a "military despot•
ism." He has striven to corraps and make the
people venal, and has labored to cause " the tree
of liberty to wither and to die."

iCorrespoudenee of The Pregg.l
Was iiitrarox, Feb. 10, M.
Well, the Senate has agreed to abolish the franking
privilege. The post office appropriation bill, with cove
rat amendments, and an additional section presented
by Senator Toombs, was passed last evening, after a
protracted discussion. The section of Toombs abolishes
tee franking privilege, and repeals all laws, or Parts of
limits, a - ether - ming the Sending or reoeiving of nay mat
ter through the mails free of postage. By this means
the clamorous contractors waste their breath a little
while longer, Ido not think the House will agree with
the bill as passed by the upper branoh, nor should it.
Some restriction was undoubtedly necessary to the I:-
condo now exercised in the use of the franking privi•
lege, bat that it ought, or will be abolished In tote, I
deny—that is, I doubt it very much. The members of
the House of Representatives not yield the privi
lege without considerable discussion. They have more
need of it than their older political brethren of the Se •
nate. Senators work their points through (diem, and
have not the same neociegity for direct communication
with the people in remote holes and corners of the States
that Representatives have. Another reason why the

quently there were thirteen absentees. Three Demo
wets voted against it—Haun of California, Hemphill of

absentees, seven were Democrats and six Republicans,

was a perfect burden°, and has, I understand, done
considerable damage in the nacre elevated portions of
the city, especially in the west end.
The Senate is not in session, and the House has been
occupied the greater portion of the day in raising points
of order, in taking appeals from the :beaker and in vo
ting thereon. In every instance the Chair was sustain
ed. The chief point of the Republicans was to pass a
similar resolution to that adopted last Congress, giving
Marks to the various committees. After considerable
mentouvering It was overruled by the House going into
Committee of the Whole, upon whieh Mr. Sherman
moved to refer the various Portions of the President's
Message to the suitable committees, and a gentleman
frdm Connecticut, whose name not one single reporter
in the gallery could obtain, took the floor, and is making
a speech all the mail closes. From the opening it is evi
dently intended to be a review of the Democratic' party,
with some reference to the speeches made preceding
the organization. With a tew honorable exceptions, tho
other Bide has given way to passion, and the gentleman
announced his determination not to follow such ex
citable examples. The Naimoli° benches are almost
deserted. Among those who keep their seat, and give
attention to the gentleman are Garnett and Pryor, of
Virginia; Lamar, Tom Florence, and Burnett. Cox,
of Ohio, who is moved fromhis propriety by some jocose
remarks from hie mileage, Vallandigham, moves

Correspondence of The Press.]
LANCAST&R, February 10, 1800.
The above Is the caption of a g/ortficution article
in the Philadelphia Administration organ of this
date. Considering the little Intltionee of that paper,
and the less Influence that it exerts, the article
does not even merit the dignity of a refutation.
But as it might possibly impress the limited num
ber of its readers with the belief that the late re
election of Captain Sanderson; as Mayor of the city
of Lancaster, was a triumph of Mr. Buchanan, I
ask a little corner in The Press to disabuse their
minds of the false impression.
Imprimis, then, as philosophers, it is a notorious
fact that all the antl-Lecompton Democrats of the
city entered heartily into the Into contest for Mayor.
Personally, Captain Sanderson is endeared to them
by many ties. As an honest, upright, and con
eolentious man, he stands pre-eminent in the cow
munity. Politically, he is not obnoxious, beonuse
it is a notorious fact, and well known to the De
mocracy of Lancaster, that after a life-long service
in the cause of Mr. Bnohanan, that gentleman has
repaid him with the grossest ingratitude and con
tumely. This foot alone brought to his ardent sup
port all the Democracy, as well those who profess
Buohanan Democracy, as those who will regret to
their dying day the ballot east for James Bu
chanan.
Under these circumstances, and with these un
deniable fade before him, no man, other than the
vilest political knave, or the most unmitigated
fool, would dare ascribe the late Democratic vote
is this city to an endorsement of either Buchan
an's Administration or his Democracy.
Another matter, by way of parenthesis: llad
Mayor Sanderson been defeated, Mr. Buchanan
and his peculiar friends would have attributed his
defeat to his lukowarniness in supporting the Kan
sas-Nebraska policy of the National Administra.
Hon. That this Is so, is evident from the fact that
two years since, when Burrowos, the Opposition
candidate for Mayor, defeated that old weather
beaten Democrat, John Zimmerman, Mr. Bu
chanan attributed the moms of Burrower solely
to the fact that Burrower had boon a particularly
warm personal friend of his. Such, in brief, has
been the course of President Buchanan's conduct,
relative to our candidates for mayor,' since his ac
cession to the Presidency.
That part of the editorial referred to which re,
Cates, and is intended to reflect upon the editor
of The Press, is simply balderdash. The Demo•
orats of Lancaster city and county have known
him too long and too well to be influonaod by the
abuse of political adventurers and pot-honso poli
ticians. He has endeared himself to them by
years of political toil, and when the lightning
Hashed over the telegraphic wires the news, that,
" Maseppa like, he had returned to thank his per-
Neuter for his uneettrteous ride," they gave vent to
their feelings by firing those "hundred guns"
which shocked as severely the nerves of the Ad
ministration clique. Q.

the fees in all the counties were raised, except Alio

to put them in Philadelphia on the same footing. Thin

should be raised, but not tilt that Idea Is set forth es a

Mr. Irish, an act authorising the Auditor Oeae.al to
re open and audit the accounts of the Pittsburg, Fort

that the company had paid into the treasury of the
State considerable money m a tax on dividends and
capital stock, but as the dividends were declared in
stock, and the tax was assessed in cash at the par value
of the stook, the stockholders and company came out at
the little end of the horn when the stook depreciated. as
it did depreciate, to little or nothing of value. They
ask that the tax be assessed on the actual value of the
stock dividends, and also that the tax on the capital
stock each year be assessed at its market value.

VOTING TUE WRONG TICKET.—A very amusing
incident happened to the Superintendent of Gee In
this city on Tuesday. Ito wee in the office of the
company on the morning of the election, had writ
ten a ticket to suit himself, and was about going
to the polls to vote it when the secretary handed
him a list of delinquent gas consumers. On the
way to the polls somehow the papers got mixed up,
and the superintendent stuck in the delinquent list
instead of the ticket he had intended voting. The
stray of names woo quite formidable, and it pun.
clod the election judges to docile for what offices
they were candidates. It wee finally decided to
put it down to " Scattering." The superinten
dent not only lost bid vote, but the mistake will
necessitate the holding of a special eleotiop for al
derman. Voters have here an illustration of the
importance of a single voto.—Lancaster Expreu.
