“HOW NOT TO DO IT."
To the Editor of The Press:
Sik : On sultry <lny3 like those, when the moronry
slioots among Hie nineties, how refreshing It Is to
101 l in the cool assumption that radiates from the
passenger 'railway companies of tills oity 1 In this
ago of steam, electricity, and iron-ctads, how sooth
ing it Is to those of antiquarian tastes to see one or
ganteatlon propelled on seml-antodllnvlan princi
ples
The Htfw-not-to-do-lt policy Is but little liked by
Americans, though the 1“ Great Undecided » noted
very consistently on It throughout his campaign.
Now the passenger railway companies are acting as
consistently the same policy, but it receives as little
appreciation from the people.
If favored by your columns, the writer would re
quest (he calm consideration of your readers to the
subject- He will endeavor to prove that the compa
nies ha vo uudcviatlngly showed—
llow not to obey their charters ; ■
How not to benefit their employees;
llow not to satisfy their patrons.
Those railroad companies were- ushered Into Hie
on the “ how-not-to-do-lt principles.” In Baltimore
the roads arc allowed to charge flvo cents, of which
one coat goes into the city treasury, for the benefit of
the city park.’ ,In New York princely offers liavo
been made for the privilege of tho roads. : Philadel
phia roads were, incorporated with but two slight
restrictions— they were required to keep their route
Bystreets in repair, and to pay a tax on each passen
ger car.
How admirably they have since followed the prin
ciple, How not to do It 1
"Who can accuse tliom of subserviently obeying
the first condition I Lot such; one stroll along our
grUHroned streets, and ho will be ashamed of the
accusation.
On the point of car tax, diffldeneo will not allow
BO strong an approval of their acts; but a perusal
of the debates of oar eminent City Councillors gives
a shrewd inkling that thoy liavo steadily preserved
their principles. Was it Dame Humor or a faintly
remembered speech in a Council Chamber that told
of a company that marked their oars with duplicate
numbers, so as to save part of their taxes, and obey
their policy, How not to do It 1
But, if on tho question or taxes wo hesitate to
fully claim their success, on tho subject of their re
lations to their employees wo must at onco award
them the credit oft tow not te do it.
At present, such Is tho condition of working mon
that, from tho common laborer, In town or country,
up through all the grades of business employments,
ten hours’toil a day is judged wearying enough.
Some men with hearts as tender as oven women’s,
sensible enough on all other points, would actually
reduce this amount several hours! In this way
common peoplo have time for amusement, time to
study, or visit, and, if so Inclined, to marry.
“ Study,” reasons the president of tho passenger
railway company, “study dissatisfies'® man with
his position, and marriage gives Mm a family to
worry about, thus increasing the surplus popula
tion.” What better ti&o for tho policy How not to
do it 1 So ho works kis'"conduetors and drivers from.
fourteen to sixteen’hours a day i then tho odd hours'
are insufficient for rest'alone, thus excluding all
thought of recreation or progression.
High wages breed extravagance and a struggling
beyond one’splace in society, so he pays a dollar
and odd shillings, even may be two dollars per day,
for now things are somewhat dearer, and farmers
confess that now three dollars wilt . not socuro
enough men for the coming harvests.
Most working people have an hour for tlio(r din
ners, and even under strict factory rule a half hour
is allowed to bo little enough, with the meal In the
basket near at hand. But such a waste of time Is
against all discipline and rules, so tho conductor Is
charitably allowed an Interval between several!
cars, a little more or less then ten minutes, perhaps,
to swallow his meal and regain his ears, with sure
punishment for default. Is it necessary to allude
to the fact that a minute’s lateness in the morning
places the car under a “sub” for that day, thus
losing a sixth of the week’s pittance 1 Or to tell
that tho least trivial offence, dr unavoidable acci
dent, subjects to sudden dismissal, or what is often
equivalent to it in the case of a poor man, to a sus
pension from employment for five, ten, thirty days,
‘ any period at the discretion of tho president 1 Sure
ly no further instances are heeded to show that as
far as concerns all comfort and happiness of those
employed they act fully on the rule How not to do
it. v
The companies having exclusive rights to privi
leges on roads in the city, a. person, biassed
by maxims deri .^ f | from other occupations,-would
likely suppose they _ try to satisfy their cus

fancying they have the worth of their money while’'
those of practical, outspoken views badger the poor
conductor. Yet he v has only the alternative of
either carrying all who apply, or else being dismissed
for not making up as high an amount as his fellows—
Still, the greatest achievement in the art of How
Dot to do it has been the raising of the fare fromplce
to sis cents ; for, however- considered, one cannot
but feel how acutely it was contiived to incommode
the passengers. : Every one has currency—but tho
odd nickel, “there's tho rub!” An increase of
twenty per cent, is quite a serious item ibr a family:
living on the outskirts of the . city, and not a small
matter to an occasional rider. What a master move
it was! That the companies, combining their pow-.
ers through a board of presidents—and, bye the bye,
can any lawyer state the authority or act of corpo
ration by which these gor.t!oro<m nnsiiTOn. to .act. in
.partnership, and.control the passonger trade of tue~
whole city T—should, by a single enactment, without
causing larger expenses, or oven paying a single
coin extra to their drivers and conductors, without
offering any additional comfort to their patrons—
Should, by a single act, bo able not only to realize a
harvest of pennies—(now worth about ton per cent,
premium; an item perhaps quite unthought of by,
the presidents,) not only receive twenty por cent;
extra pay, but also cause the people vexation and
extratrouble—is a complete vindication ofthoirsuc-'
cess in the practice How not to do it.
Biding on the rear platform of a Tine-street car,
last Saturday, the writer overheard a remark, which
he appends.
A gentleman complained to tho conductor of tho
crowded state of. the car.
“ You needn’t get on tho car unless you want to;
Its entirely optional with you.” .
Is not this the.only remedy, Mr. Editor, for those

Exchange Tickets.
To the Editor of The Press:
Sin: Did noPour Legislature, at its last session;
pass a bill declaring that the “ Exchange Tickets”:
were passable on any day 1 Can any of your readers
give me this information!
I am, sir, yours, respectfully, Sobscki unit.

Currency and History.
To the Editor of The Press
Sin: One of your correspondents, over the sig
nature of “Ah Englishman,” just now .assured your
readers that “during the whoio time of suspension
from cash payments (1797 to 1821) there was a full
Supply of silver money, at no premium at all.”
How far: this assertion is in accordance with tho
real facts of the case your readers will judge after
perusing the following brief statement, drawn from
English works, whoso accuracy is not, as I believe,
to be questioned:
Soon after the suspension of payments Spanish
dollars, stamped in the British mint, wero issued at
6s, each, their real value being but 4s, 2d. These,
however, soon disappearing from the circulation,
another issue was made at Ss.'Od ; but these, too,
Speedily disappeared. Next dollars and quarter
flollars wero issued at Bs, and Is. (id,, or 6s. to the
dollar, but they soon shared the fate of their pro
flecossors, -
“Silver money became at length so scarce,” says
tny authority, “ that anything almost passod as
money; worn out sixpences, not worth 3d. each,
light shillings worn quite plain, Irish shillings, and
old worn Trench livre pieeos being imported and
passed as money. In various forms,” as he con
tinues, "tradesmen issued Gs. and 2s. fid. paper
tokens, and so'did many.families. Silver tokons,
passing for shillings, were issued in almost ovory
place of consequonee throughout tho country, at tho
value of about eight for every ounce of silver, and
some much less.” .
Lord Lauderdale, in ISIS, published a list of up
wards of ono hundred different sorts of wildcat mo
ney, and this was, with tho exception of irredeem
able banknotes, the only species of currency then
In use in Great Britain.
An ounce of silver is worth 4s. 4d. and no more. Di
vided into eight parts tt gives as tho represen
tative or a paper shilling, the discount on the latter
being little loss than fifty per coat.
««(Starvation at Fort Delaware.”
To the Editor of-The Press
, Sib i Permit a visitor to this important post to
say a . word on this subject. I have recently spent
eleven days on the island in whose centre this fort
Stands, and among tho soidiors who cohstitute’its
garrison, and tho prisoners whom thoy guard. My
business,was within the religious department of
tho Christian fjommlssion, blit especially as a col
porteur of tho Board of Publication of' thb Presby
terian tlhurch. My timo was spent chiefly among
tho rebel (privates) prisonors, where I have good
reason to think tho books which I distributed—
about 1,400, and particularly the Testaments, §BB
- read with avidity.
. The bakery linspoctod often; the Uourand Indian
meal and the oread, was all good—very good. Four
teen ounces per day to every man, and a small por
tion of moat. Among tho eight thousand men with
•whom I camo in daily and eloso contact, I could see
none, and I took care to find such, if any, who ap
peared : emaciated and reduced by starvation. I
aver, without tear of contradiction, that they are as
lull of flesh and vigor as men ordinarily are who
work in shops and on farms. ‘ This cry about starva
tion is falso and groundless.

IHE BAT AFTER TICE FAIR.
THE PLACE BEING DISMANTLED—THIEVES
. ARRESTED, &C.
'Workmen were busily engaged yesterday in care
fully romoving tlio many embellishments used in
giving tone and character to the Great Oeritrai
Fair. Nearly all the remaining saloablo goods have
been boxed up or taken away in parcels. Thoy await
tho action or tbo Executive Committee. Whether
they will bo disposed of by auction or otherwise will
bo officially announced by tho chairman.
Horticultural Hail lias boon pretty well disrobed
of its great natural beauty, the frigid zone has
molted into thin air, and tho dark mantle of depart
ed glory now covers tho spot oneo so' beautiful In -
tlie gorgeous array of tropical plants, birds, beasts,
Ac.
Tho soda-water fountains are dry; the ico-croam
tables are no more to bo seen; the busy throng of.
ladies and gentlemen, all intent with patriotic
ardor in doing the greatest amount of good to the -
greatest number of soldiers who need help, have re
tired into private life ; the busy servants aro go no ;
tlio click of tho maohinory has ceased; tho mint-die
no more oasts its medals; and bvon Chambers’
model brick-making maehino is silent. Arms and
trophies have" yielded to tho removing power, but
the big flag still Boats on tho tep of the pole, the
tallest in the world. Tho scene of romoval, yester
day, was conducted in admirable order; there was
considerable hurry, but no contusion, and it may
well bo supposed that to-day there will be nothing
left of tho gay drapery, and other patriotic Insignia, •
in all that vast range of buildings, excepting tho
art gallery. This will stand alone in its glory for a,
few days, to. enable the many lovers of the arts to -
have an unerbwded view of the magnificent display
of the great paintings.
ARREST OF TTIIEVES.
It was very evident that, articles wore stolen,
from the Fair almost every day or night from the
very commencement. Numbers .of things wore
missing from tho tables in the morning. Tho at
tention of the police was called to the robberies, and
Anally becoming satisfied that the thievingwas done
at night, arranged themselves accordingly, and yes
terday morning, at an early hour, two men, both of
whom woro omployed as watchmen, were detected
in the' robbery. A pretty gonoral assortment of
goods had been stolen. Quite a number of articles
were recovered, and tho thieves were sent to prison,
for the particulars,pf whieh tho reader is referred to
the department of police in this dayis Press.
'.'“SPEECH OF MR. JAMES MILLIKEN.
Tho following report of tho speech of Mr. James
MilUken has been kindly handed to us for publica
tion. :> Owing to the noise incident to .the closing of
the great Fair, we could not from our position dis*.
tinotiy hear tho gentleman.. Tho speech was se
condary to tho resolutions submitted te the readers
of the Press yesterday:
Mr. James Milliken said:
Mr. Chairman: As one of those who have not
had the pleasure of assisting in the labors of this
great achievement, I claim the privilege of second
ing the resolutions now before this meeting, and of
joining in a word of grateful tribute. . The success
or this Fair has been so marvellous that it demands
of the citizen some public manifestation of thanks
to the ladies and gentlemen forming tho numerous
committees for their devotion, to
which is largely due. the eminent success we wit
ness to-day, at its close.
It would bo idle to attempt to utter full praise,
and it would be more than foolish to attempt to allot
it. I might begin with that most worthy citizen
who has so zealously and with such distinguished
ability served as chairman, and then enumerate Mr.
Harrison, Mr. Claghorn, Mr. Knoass, Mr. King,
Mr. Stilie, and a host of other gentlemen, and then
the ladies of the committees, and I would still fall
short in remembrance of many equally worthy of
mention, k'
The scenes through which we have boon passing
since treason first attempted to triumph over us
are new to us; but none of them, with ali their
novelty, so excite our.wonder, the wonder and admi
ration of the wholo civilized world, as this volun
tary ottering of labor, of valuable time, of Immense.
treasure—of labor and of time which, except In 1
such a cause, the wealth of our city could not pur
chase—and ail, all in behalf of the sick and wounded
soldier. But the time is too recent—these scenes
aro too near us, to permit our taking in, in all its
comprehensive charity and greatness, the result of
'this offering.
! - To appreciate the good that has been done :wo
must wait until in tho distant 'future, when this,
mighty nation shall learn war no more—untilthe
broken soldier shall enjoy a happy peace—until
touching remembrances of this philanthropy shall
render them fireside tales, which will implant In
the breast of .those who are to come after us high
resolves of patriotic love and duty. Generations
yet unborn will read the history of this devotion
-««>vntry’s cause with eyes bedimmed with
tears of tenderest love, and millions will yet arise
to thank MU-nieM all who have rendered aid in this
memorable efiort? ■
®ut F must be permitted to. say a word more
personal—a word of the ladies ot ..... own and of
our sistet States—and especially of that nofdo imntt
of ministering angels who have from dayto day
and from week to week, come up here and volun
tarily assumed,most arduous duties.. They gave
with their whole heart, they labored with tkeir
hands, and they most charmingly beguiled us all.
. They laid their fascinations altar, of our
-country, and with graceful imporu.ni..
bucea those to give who never gave before, afA.
those who gave to . give still more. Their smiles
illumed tne whole building, their , presence , added
beauty everywhere ; yes, even to tho department of
flowers. Who or what will reward these alii A
— l —v——-- ——«“»i-V«t:Uiat will
scarce suffice.
. The ladies and gentiemon or tho ootnmitteos'or
this and of similar Fairs will have their reward.
They can tako with-them the assurance that the
surviving soldiers, the widows and the orphans of
those who have died and of those who must yet die
in this bloody strife, wiil become to them bright
stars in a firmament of glory, which will Illumine,
their pathway to tho grave.
UNINTENTIONAL OMISSION. ;
In the notice of tho Perfumery and Fancy Soap
Department, made a few days since, there were two:
depositors who had made handsome contributions
whoso names were inadvertently omitted. Messrs.
—i-—auusj and McKeono were generous in tlioir
donations oFianTCr»»«i ”- r --Rciahold Calm, also
patriotically, contributed a variety ortoiieu
UNBECOYERED GOODS.
The police have quite an assortment of unclaimed
goods, that had been lost during the Fair. Gloves
in pairs and odd ones, parasols, baskets, collars,
ribbons, veils, and a, great variety of handorehiefs.
These articles will ho taken to the Central Station
to await identification. .
There were quite a number of articles of use and
ornament put up for chances—such as vases of flow
ers and fruit, skeleton flowers, clothing, baby houses,
&c., Se., but who the lucky persons wore that draw
them wo could not ascertain yesterday. The report
will probably be made in a few days officially.
.ARRIVAL OF "WOUNDED SOLDIERS.
Over five hundred wounded soldiers arrived in tlio
city yesterday morning Horn the Washington hospi
tals.: They remained .temporarily at the Citizens'
Tolunteer Hospital, under the care of Dr. Kender

THE POLICE.
[Before Hr. Alderman B&Hler. 3
BOBBERT AT THE FAIR.:
Two morij namert D. 'Woodwarcl and B. Soper,
were arraigned afc the’Central Station yesterday
afternoon} on the charge of stealing sundry articles
. from the 6reat Sanitary Fair. They were arrested
hy Detectives Taggart and Levy, between one and
two o : e!ock yesterday morning. The prisoners were
employed as watchmen by the committee, one of
them being, or lately was, a United States detec
tive. Things had been missed from the different
apartments on almost every morning. How, or by
whom, or when the articles were stolen was a sub
ject fully discussed, and suspicion fell upon innocent
parties. The detective officers sot tnemselvcs to
work, and resorted to an ancient dodge to catch tho
thieves, and yesterday morning their plan suc
ceeded. One of the men was observed robbing tho
india-rubber department, and the othor thief was
assisting: him.. After the goods had been thrown
from the window, the officers observed the aceom-
Elice them away. He was traced to a boarding
ouse kept by a Mrs. Hessojy in Madison street,,
above Race. After the prisoners had been taken into
custody, the house was searched, and considerable
goods were recovered, consisting of cloth, india-rub
ber goods, neck-ties, suspenders, collars, mantillas,
dolls (some of them worth $5O. each), perfumery,
parasols, shirts, white and colored 5 fn fact, there
was a general assortment of goods 'recovered. The
prisoners were committed in default Of $1,200 bail
each to answer. Subse**ent to the hearing, Mr.
Hensil, who had supervision of the loom by which
the neck-ties were woven, called at the Central
Station, and made an examination of the goods.
Some of the : nock-Ues recovered were woven
in the early part of the Fair, which fact
plainly shows the thieves commenced early, and
had been robbing the place every night since.
Mr. H. says that these peculiar nock-ties were in
’great demand. Every one ofthom could have been
readily sold had they not''been stolen. The thieves
three American flags, which they used to
the whole anftU&t."Blunder. It Is impossible to tell
proloaMUty is if never’Wlfr'Uß _tto Kur. Tho great
goners will probably have speedy _ The prl
as a remembrance for robbing indirectly
and wounded soldiers.
