Letter From Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, April 6, 1869.
DEAR WING Our quiet city of
Brotherly Love is ccasing to be that
friendly inoffcnsive city Of former years.
| believe in horror, murder, suicide,
robbery, embellishments, and vice gen
orally, we equal New York. Morality
and good government are at very low
ebb, the influence of local and State
government has become so perverted
and contaminated, we live more the
victims, than the originators of clrcum-
stances
Life Insurance is thoght Gust
now to be good investment, from
5000. 900 to 100000 is a common in
vestmcnt for some of our capitalists.
The late horrible triple murder and
suicide of the Blackiston family, is
gradually paling from public memory
it is necessary natural vicessitudes OF
Philadelphia demand it:
The extensive robbery of the "Bene-
fetal Saving Fund Society," of about
one million of dollars in bonds and
cash; has created no little excitement.
The effects upon the public of this city
are comparative.
The number of deaths last week was
227. five more that the preceding
week.
During the two visiting days last
week there were 300 persons visited
the Academy of Natural Sciences
This institution is one of the most in
teresting places in the city.
ADJUSTMENTS, public and private,
have opened with renewed vigor since
the termination of Lent. The season
is more universally observed now than
it was in former years.
The Opera season is now in full blast.
This week the German" opera will
continue:" next week we have the
French" NJ. Loste will make her APP
pearance The following week the
English Miss Richings' troupe
will appear. OCCASIONAL.

CuBA.-A meeting of ladies and gentle
yf,en was held at the residence of Senator
Pomeroy Washington, on Tuesday night,
in the interest Of the Cubans: large gath
ering being in attendance, and an organi-
cation or sub-junta was formed to act as an
auxiliary to the one in New York
Among the many present were Gen. n. P.
Chapman. Hon. r. l.. B. Clarke, VIM. p.
Dole, r. S. Dodge, Rev Mr.. French. and
DR.. Newman; Mrs. Senator Drake, Pome-
roy, Morrill,. and Patterson: Mrs. Judge
Cooley, Mrs Governor Walker, Mrs. Gen.
Brayman, Mrs. General Howard, Mrs. Col.
Robinson, and many other influential per-
sons in the City. Mr.. Sherman, of New
York. addressed the meeting. and said the
Cubans We're in need of sympathy. They
were fighting for liberty, and had pro-
claimed the emancipation of all the slaves,
and he believed the struggle would be APP
proved wherever civilization was reached.
Resolutions were adopted, sympathlzlng
with the Cubans, and after the election of
officers the meeting adjourned to meet
again at the call of the chairman.

GENERAL LoNGsTRErT.- stormy
executive session of the Senate, on Satur-
day afternoon, General Jas. B. Longstreet
yas confirmed as surveyor Of the Port of
New Orleans. by vote of % to 10, but one
more than quorum vote. The Louisiana
Senators were divided, Kellogg favoring
and Harris opposing. Cameron made
bitter opposition. Brownlow endorsed his
language and strongly protested against
the confirmation. When the vote was ia
ken several Senators paired off. and it was
lucky for Longstreet the vote was had at
the time, as in a few minutes more the
Senate would have been left without quo
run, the Senator'S dropping out one by one.
Warnrr, of Alabama, made an earnest and
eloquent speech in favor of the confirma-
ton, pointing out the good effect it would
have throughout the South. The majority
of the Southern Senators also favored Long
street, and he was eventually confirmed

on Tenth street, opposite Ford's Theatre.
