THE PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

The discussion with regard to the location
of the public buildings is getting to be
nuisance of most decided character, but the
more hopeless the prospect of having either
Washington or Independence Squares chosen
for the site the more eager are the property
holders in their neighborhood to prevent the
work Of erecting the buildings upon Penn
Squares from being commenced. The anti
Penn Squareites met with a rebuff in Select
Council yesterday when that body did the
very wise thing Of laying upon the table the
resolution directing the City Solicitor to take
means to prevent the erection of the buildings
upon the intersection of Broad and Market
streets until the final decision of the Supreme
Court. This action was doubtless influenced
by the communication from John Rice, Esq,
the chairman of the commission for the erection
of the public buildings, in which the opinion
Of the solicitor of the commission, G. H. L.
Coils, Esq, that there is a clear right to
erect one or more buildings upon the four
Penn Squares; that the commission has a
clear right to erect at the intersection of
Broad and Market Streets that the act of
March %, 1866, does not in any way restrict
the right to build at Intersections; and that
the act of August 5, 1870, rather favors and
indicates the erection of the buildings there,
is entirely concurred in by such eminent
legal talent as the Attorney General of the
Commonwealth, f. Carroll Brewster, and
Messrs. William B. Mann and W. NJ. Mere
dith. Indeed, the wording of the laws on
this subject is SO plain that it cannot
be misunderstood except by those
who are interested in Misunderstanding
it, and that the Supreme Court viii
refuse to grant the perpetual injunction asked
for may safely be predicted. When the Su-
preme Court does refuse to interfere with the
commissioners the whole controversy ought
to come to an end at once and forever The
vote last October settled the matter in the
best possible way, AID the obstructions that
are now being thrown in the way of the coal-
missioners by interested parties proceed fran

NEWSPAPER ENTERPRIsR.

''IT is great disgrace to American journal
ism, says an evening contemporary, "that
the heads of departments at Washington can
rot protect their official documents from the
thieves in the employment of certain news
papers, and that even the President of the
United States hesitates to print his annual
message, lest it shall be stolen before its deli
very to Congress" The journal in question
then proceeds at considerable length to de-
nounce the New York Tribune as being the
ringleader in these depredations, aud fairly
exhausts its stock of italics in emphasizing
it's datribes. 1t is somewhat surprising,
in view of this assumption of virtue,
that the paper in question should
day after day print the departmental reports
which are stolen by the Tribune, and almost
invariably without giving the latter journal
credit for its thievery. In this very number
of flour city contemporary which holds up the
Tribune as the most dishonest journal in
the country appears one of the departmental
reports, nearly two columns in length, which
was published by the Tribune the previous
day. That our virtuous contemporary cap
tured the document in question at Washing
ton is altogether improbable; such an assump-
tion not only does violence to its professions
of honesty, but to its habitual lack of enter
prise as well. The report was clipped bodily
from the Tribune, of course, and the neglect
to credit the latter paper with having first
published it is intended, doubtless, as a
scathing rebuke to dishonest practices in the
collection of news.
Our contemporary is but one of large
number of journals of easy and excessive
virtue which have been completely dumb
founded by the marvellous enterprise dis
played by the New York Tribune during the
past six months It's achievements in con-
nection with the Franco -Prussian war have
been altogether unprecedented in the history
of the journalism not only of this country
but of the whole world; and now that a mo-
mentary special interest in our national affairs
is created by the approaching assemblage
of Congress- the Tribune has turned
upon the capital it's inexhaustible resources
and day after day given to the public, in ad-
vance of all its rivals, columns of public
documents which are to be presented to the
National Legislature next week. And for SO
doing it is denounced as thief and a hypo-
crite. The only remedy that our contem-
porary can devise for the prevention of such
reprehensible practices is the absolute exclu-
sion of the Tribune from 'all the privileges
of the Executive Mansion and of the depart
ments," and "a complete withdrawal of all
Government patronage" from it and any
other newspaper that shall presume to fur
nish its readers with important public docu-
ments which can be obtained at the capital
by the exercise of ingenuity or the outlay of
money. The famous but futile attempt of
the Holy Father to keep the comet at dis
tance by a Papal bull was about on par
with this suggestion.

ANOTHER FENIAN WAR.

GENERAL O'NEILL, the hero of the late Fe-
nian invasion of Canada, is not satisfied with
the bountiful crop of laurels he acquired in
that memorable campaign, for we learn by an
address he issued from the prison at Wind
sor, Vermont in October last, that the pro-
gramme for new Fenian movement is under
consideration. This document assumes that
it has been demonstrated to the satisfaction
of all whom it may concern that when the
Fenians next take the field it will be to
eight for Ireland on Irish soil, and
that this project now supersedes all others.
To cool and unimpassioned minds it might
appear that such task would be sufficiently
difficult if all the Fenians in this country
cordially united to accomplish it, but at the
very outset of the movement they are con-
fronted with many difficulties arising from
internal dissensions, rivalries, Jealousies, and
antagonisms. The fight against the
British Government, on Irish soil, is to begin
by series of fights within the ranks of
the Fenian Brotherhood, so that there is
fine prospect that our soil will be enlivened
by long succession of Donnybrook Fair
skirmishes before the armies of the Irish re-
public make triumphal entry into Dublin.
Nor is this the only obstacle to be sur
mounted. If we are to believe General
O'Neill, many of the Fenian agitators of the
United States are anxious to use the organi-
cation for selfish partisan purposes.
The General is cruel enough to say that if
these weak brethren are successful in getting
Ga little political pap" they will never risk
their precious necks on Irish soil at all, at ALL
As he is President of one of the leading wings
of the organization, he knows what he is talk
ing about, and when he tells us of the anxiety
of some of its shining lights to be made
Whisky Inspectors under Andy Johnson's
administration, and of the intense desire of
other leaders to secure snug berths in the
New York Custom House, we are bound to
believe him. In addition to the squabbles
arising from rival organizations, indifference,
and mutual distrust, distinct issue
has also arisen in regard to the
control of the funds of the Fenian Brother
hood. The adversaries of General O'Neill
wish to place them under the exclusive con-
troll of the district treasurers scattered over
the land, while the General favors their con-
centration in the hands of central trea-
surer. He alleges that new district trea-
surers may do "what others have done be-
fors that is, use the money for their o,on
benefit" Here is another fearful revelation,
disclosing another impediment to the success
of the F. B. What can we expect from an
army whose quartermasters plunder the mill
tary chest, while its leaders are fighting not
only against each other, but for offices in
America rather than for the liberation of Ire
land?

THE FRENCH FIASCO.


The failure of the French armies during
period of nearly three months to break
single point in the extended line held by the
forces investing Paris, is one of the most
marvellous events in military history. Every
thing was staked upon the ability of the Pro-
visional Government to open communica-
tions with the beleaguered city. A million
of men were, or should have been, available
for the purpose. There was no lack of
money, no great lack of arms, while every
incentive that can nerve the hearts of patriotic
men prompted the French citizen-soldiers
who are penned up in Paris and their
brethren who are encamped beyond the Ger
man lines to assist each other. When we re-
member how enthusiastically the people of
the loyal States rallied to the defense of
Washington, and how the people of the
South rushed to the rescue of Richmond when
the Union armies attempted to capture it, we
cannot avoid the conviction that an equal
display of enthusiasm, energy, and courage
in France would have made the late move
ments of Trochu and Paladines successful
Their failure involves not merely decisive
triumph of the German armies, but a virtual
confession that there is something radically
weak and defective in modern France, and
henceforth the leadership of Europe, in
arts as we'll as in arms, will be transferred
from the waning power to the indomitable
Fatherland

B AN OLD-TIMR LANDMARK.-One OF the Oldest
business establishments in city is the grocery
house OF Messrs. Crlppen & Maddox, No. lis South
Third street. 1t has been In existence for three
quarters OF a century. 1t was standing aud was
used for the same purpose in the early days OF our
city, when business was confined almost exclu-
sivey to the river front. Then the dwellings of all
the best city families were in the immediate neigh
borhood. Then the Cadwaladers, the Biddles the
Whartons, the Dalases, the Sargeants, the Mere
diths, the Binneys, the Bories, the Davids, the
Wistars, the Shippens, and many other families had
their private mansions right in what is the seat
only OF our most prosperous aud largest business
houses The onward progress OF improvements has
made the family residences retire
further westward but the business house
above mentioned, which was then their companion,
remains and still does business In the old locality
OF yore, though surrounded by numerous new and
busy faces. 1t is now as vigorous and prosperous as
ever, If not more so, and large business patronage
attests the estimation in which the house is held by
the community at large. AS it grows older the
patronage increases. In addition to the honor ia
which the aged house is held, which honor
might cause custom to a certain extent, there are
other weghty and practical reasons why prosperity
should attend all the business operations OF the
firm. One Of these is the fact that the pr0prietors
are honest, respectable, and fair-dealing. men;
another ia that the goods kept for sale are the
choicest in the market: still another is that the
prices asked are much lower than those asked
elsewhere, and a very substantial reason is that,
bscause OF the extensive daily sales, the goods are
renewed more often, and are consequently always
more fresh when they get to the hands OF the con-
sumer. This adds at least a value OF twenty per
cent to all articles sold. Another distinctive fea-
ture OF the house is the pIomptness with which all
orders are 1lled. Any one who has any desire 10
purchase goods OF the description here mentioned
and who has not such desire p 9ill do well TO call
at the earliest possible moment and inspect and
purchase from the stock of this drst-cass grocery
house, which contains everything that such place
ought TO contain and more too.

TIE PAID FIRE DEPARTMENT BILL came up
in Select Council yesterday, and after some
discussion was laid over until next week.
Most of the opposition to the bill was based
rather upon a conservative sentiment that
cannot appreciate the benefits of any changes
from the old order of things simply because
they exist and not because they are useful,
than upon intelligent objections to any
prominent features of the plan that has been
proposed for the organization of the Paid
Fire Department. If the delay of week
can be of any benefit to the members of
Select Council, 10y enabling them to
study the details of the bill more closely than
they have hitherto been able to do, the post
ponement until next Thursday was well
enough, but the bill has certainly been be-
fore the members of Councils and before the
public long enough for intelligent opinions
to be formed with regard to its merits, and it
might as well have been passed yesterday as
at any other time. That it will be passed
substantially in its present shape there can
be no doubt, after all that has been said and
done upon the subject, for the Volunteer
Fire Department has clearly outlived its day
Of usefulness, and is totally unsuited for the
necessities of great city like this.
