lMessrs Editors-I notice good deal of CEN
sure is expressed against the City Council for
proposing loan of SIS, 900 with which to pay
their shortcomings of the year. Are the city
fathers alone to blame Certainly not 1t is
we'll known that most of the extraordinary ex-
penditures of the city are made on the peti
ton of parties outside of the council Such
was eminently the case in regard to the con.
struction of the costly iron fence around Wa
shingtOn square.
The signers of this petition are considered
the most intelligent and respectable men
among US. Yet they pray the city council to
make this large expenditure evidently not for
a necessary and beneficial purpose, but rather
to satisfy fancifnl idea of others. If the con-
dition Of the city finances had been taken into
consideration, a fancy fence around the pub
lie square would have appeared no more of
necessity than the dressing Of a pauper in a
suit Of broadcloth. For this last foolish ex-
penditure the city fathers are certainly not
blamable, and but for it they would not now
be necessitated to call on the city for addi-
tlonal funds. L.

TgE RED RIVER REVOLUTION. Our latest
adyices from the revolutionists in the Red
River province represent that the failure Of
Colonel Dennis to incite the Indians against
the opponents of the British government saved
the lives Of Governor McDougall and his
suite. AS it is, death has been decreed
against Colonel Dennis, should he ever be cap
tured. A newspaper is to be started in the
interest Of the insurgents, who have become so
formidable in numbers that McDougall and his
followers are preparing to get away In
undisturbed possession Of the entire region Of
country, the revolutionists win doubtless go

We publish in another part of to-day's paper
the text of the act to establish postal tele-
graphs in the United States which General C.
c. Washburn has prepared, and which he
intends to bring before Congress on the reas-
sembling of that body after the holidays. The
bill is admirably drawn, concise, to the point,
and is divested of all that unnecessary legal
phraseology which too often encumbers acts Of
Congress. 1t shows that Mr.. Washburn
understands thoroughly the subject and what
he is about.
The proposed act is not a halfway measure.
1T does not leave the business of telegraphing
to private companies at all, or to any rivalry
on the part of companies with the government.
1t places the telegraph system on precisely
the same footing as the Post Office service,
which does not allow any individuals or COM
pany to interfere with the business or revenue
of the Post Office by conveying letters. The
first section provides THAT from and after
the oath day Of July, 1871, it shall be unlawful
for any person, other than such as are herein
after authorized, to transmit by, electric tele
graph, or by any device. equivalent thereto,
any message, information or intelligence of
whatever description for hire, or to receive
any moneys or reward of any kind for such
transmission"
In order to make fair settlement with
existing telegraph companies for their pro-
perty, which 1t Ia proposed the government
shall take If these companies choose to accept
such a settlement, the second section provides
that the Postmaster General shall appoint two
appraisers and the telegraph companies two
who shall act in conjunction, to appraisc the
property of the companies, and that fifth
appraiser Is to be selected by these four, as
sort Of umpire, to facilitate the work Of reach
ing decision. When the cash value il thus
ascertained the Postmaster General is author
lied to contract for the purchase Of the tele-
graph property Of the companies for the use
and benefit Of the people Of the United States
The contract, however, is TO be approved by
the President and to receive the sanction Of
Congress. Here it may be proper to remark,
perhaps, that this reference to Congress after
wards might be unnecessary and cause lobby
eXpeulentS ahu uelsy' ihe npplVFW VI tue
contract might properly be left TO the Presi-
dent; for by the very passage Of this act Con
gress will give its sanction to the principle Of
tho measure.
Section ten provides that if any telegraph
company shall fail or neglect to appoint
appraisers before the lst of January, 1871, or
II after appraisement any telegraph company
shall fail Or neglect to convey to the Postmas-

ITALIAN SCHOOL FESTIVAL.

The pupils Of the Italian school at No. 10 Centre
street were given Christmas festival last evening
by benevolent ladies, who have interested them
selves in the project for the education and prcpara-
ton Of this class OF the children OF this city for the
filing OF respectable positions In life. During the
festival the children sang several very pretty songs
and were addressed by Mr.. william A. Booth, Presi-
dent OF the Children's Aid Society, under whose
charge the school Is ana other gentlemen. After
this the children were each given presents OF wear
ing apparel, toys, candies and cakes, and then dts
missed. This school Is under the conduct OF MIR. A.
II. Cergua, the principal worker for It's establish
ment In 1885, who in his annual report TO the trus-
tees OF the Children's Aid Society thus quotes from
an article or L'Echio GLdd newspaper OF this city.
In illustrating the good accomplished by the SCHOOL,:
'Unce 1t would have been useless and perhaps
dangerous to speak to the Italians OF the Five Points
OF the dignity OF labor ana independence OF nstruc-
ton, &c Now the noblest examples or integrity
and industry come to us from them. Who wlll.dare
to assert that all this Is not due TO the influence OF
the schoolr This Is the work OF instruction, and

Supposed suicide in the Mountains OF New

The authorities Of orange, n. j., are considerably
agitated just now touching the death OF man
named Anthony Gernhardt, O painter from New

nnc days ago, in the woods on the mountain
adjoining the property OF General George b. Nc
Cellan under circumstances of a very suspicious
nature. The lace was entirely eaten away and a
pistol nnoaded, was found iyiifg by the side of the

Of Russian and Turkish baths for hygienic

of Health and Assistant Sanitary Inspector
Ingraham. Enough is there alleged, if true to

The remains of ex-Secretary of War Edwin
M. Stanton were yesterday consigned to their
last resting place in Georgetown Cemetery,
near Washington. Representatives Of all
classes of the American people were present
on the sad occasion, as also the different
branches of the government-the executive,
legislative and judicial-while the sympathy
OF foreign governments with the loss the
republic has sustained was expressed through
the members of the various diplomatic corps,
who were fully represented in the funeral
procession. At the request of the family OF
the deceased no military pageant marked the
high distinction which, as Secretary of War,
the late Mr.. Stanton had achieved. The gene
raj sorrow had its fitting expression in the
observance of all the usual manifestations OF
respect and mourning in this city in the
closing Of all government offices, the partial
suppression of business for the day in many
branches of trade, the lowering of the national
colors from the fagstaffs, the adoption of reso-
lutions to Congress to make fitting recognition
to the family Of the deceased of the nations
estimate of the loss it has sustained and
similar evidences of the national feeling.
These have marked the late Secretary's passing
away. May he rest in peace.
