LAND AND LABOR IN PHTLADEL-
PHFA

From "Our Monthly GOSSIP" in the
April number of LippincOtt's Magazine,
we take the following: 'Gt is estimated
that from fifteen to twenty millions of
dOllars-earning an average of sixteen
per cent year-are employed in Phila-
delphia in the business of erecting houses
for sale. The usual mode of procedure
is as follows: 4 capitalist buys three
or four acres in the outskirts of the city,
has streets run through the property, and
then advances to a mechanic about sixty
per cent of the cost of building block of
houses. When completed, the owner of
the fee makes deed conveying the pro-
perry to the builder, reserving a rent
charge of so much a year. The rent
charge is sold by the capitalists and the
process begins again. The builder retails
the houses-knOwn as "bonus houses
to persons of small means, and each be-
ing subject to ground rent of two-thirds
of its value, more or less, the amount to
be paid by the purchaser is small. The
greatest demand is for houses of six to
eight rooms, with bath, gas, hot and cold
water, and kitchen range, worth about
twenty-five hundred to three thousand
dollars apiece. A mechanic or clerk who
can raise seven or eight hundred dollars
can buy comfortable little house with
his money, and pay off the ground rent
at his convenience. These ground rents
are peculiar to Pennsylvania, and, Joined
with the comparative absence of banking
facilities, they have done much to make
Philadelphia cheap aud desirable place
of residence.
''To the above statement of the facilities
afforded by ground-rents should be added
notice of an institution comparatively
new in this country, but which has been
in operation for half century in England
and Scotland. We speak of the 'Build-
ing Association There are, it is esti-
mated, between one and two thousand of
these associations in operation in this
city, each disbursing, on an average, at
least one thousand monthly. Putting
their number at the lowest figure-say
one thousand-we have here twelve mil
lions of dollars annually invested In real
estate (fOr that is the only security taken
by the associations for their loans) by the
workingmen of this city. Truly it is no
wonder that Philadelphia is growing at
the rate of a square mile of buildings an
nually, and that nearly every family occu-
by its own house.

AN UNHEALTHY NAME.

There seems to be some occasion for
replying to Shakspeare's conundrum,
s'What's in a name?" with something in
timating that considerable is contained
therein. When Benedict Arnold burned
New London, and Fort Griswold in the OPP
posite town of Grotton was taken by his
troops, the Federal commandant surren-
dered his sword to the subordinate lead
ing the assaulting party, and that officer
instantly ran it through his unarmed pris-
oner, and thus gave the signal for the in
discriminate massacre of the captured
garrison. That officers name was Eyre.
The man who was responsible for the
atrocities committed by the English in
Jamaica in 1865 was Gov. Eyre. The
name of the Captain of the Bombay, who
recently ran down the Oneida and brutally
left its crew to drown, was also Eyre
The question would seem to be rapidly
becoming an open one, as to whether the
killing of an Englishman named Eyre con
sight, would not properly come under
the head of 'justifiable homicide ?n-De-
troit Tribune.

INTERNATIONAL, YACHT RACE
DINNER TO VICE COMMODORE
]. G. BENNETT, JR.

On Wednesday evening one of the most
brilliant and successful dinner parties of
the season was given to Mr.. James Cor
don Bennett, Jr, by Commodore Steb-
bins, of the New York Yacht Club, in
conjunction with Messrs. Frank and
George Osgood. Mr. Bennett is shortly
to sail for England in order to prepare for
the great international yacht race between
the 'Dauntless" and the "Cambria"
event in yachting annals unequaled in in
terest since the celebrated race in which
the "American was victorious. A more
select company could scarcely have been
assembled than that which was brought
together at the Union Club to tes-
tify their appreciation of the renown
which Mr.. Bennett has won as a yachts
man, and their estimate of the qualities
which have rendered him so popular in
the community. Gentleman of great
social distinction, or occupying leading
professional positions, readily met tOgeth
er at the call of Commodore Stebbins,
whose reputation forhospitality is as great
as that of Mr.. Bennett for pluck and
spirit as a yachtsman. The following
were among the guests: Mayor Hall,
Judge BlatchfOrd, Judge PieTepont,
Judge Bedford, Recorder Hackett, E. w.

RECoNSTRUCTION.

We have seen in none of our Northern
exchanges a more sensible view of the
folly of Reconstruction than we find in a
review by the Cincinnati Gazette (Radi-
CALI, of the recent speech of Revels in
the United States Senate ON the Georgia
bill. That paper asks;
But what is the protection for which
the Senator appeals for his race The
Government has emancipated them, fed,
clothed and schooled them, conferred upon
them the franchise and all the rights of
citizens, reconstructed State Governments
over and over to give them their share of
political power, amended its Constitution
to prohibit the States from depriving them
of these rights and privileges, and has
spread its army over the South to give
them protection. What more can it do (!
The point to which the address of Senator
Revels was directed was in favor of a
provision to exclude the people of GeOr-
uia from electiDg their State officers and
Legislature for two years after the con-
stitutional terms of the incumbents shall
have expired.
Is it necessary to disfranchise the whole
people of Georgia in order to give pro-
lection to the blacks? If so, why are we
bothering with reconstruction and the pre-
tense of allowing the people of the South
to elect their governmental And what is
to protect them after two years! Shall
we then reconstruct again? Surely if it
is necessary to forbid the inhabitants for
two years from electing their officers, there
will be as much necessity for prolOnging
the Acknowledgement indefinitely; for in
the nature of things the DISTINGUISHED
will grow more revengeful as they have
a longer accumulation to revenge. But
Senator Revels does not think so in the
case of his own State, for he early in
dorsed a memorial from his race that Con-
gress would remove the political disabili-
ties from all the rebels in Mississippi.
We have no reason to think the whites of
Georgia worse than those of Mississippi.
And surely if it be wise to remove in Mis-
sissiapi those disabilities which now affect
only the leading class of rebels, it can not
be necessary nor wise to disfranchise the
whole people of the State of Georgia for
two years

SPANISIE DANCERS.

A spectacle that will be as novel and
entertaining as the sham bull-tights that
that have been introduced in England is
awaiting the pallcd tastes of New Workers.
On the 30th of the present month a troupe
of the real Andalusian ballet dancers will
appear on the boards of the Tammany
Theater. They have been selected from
the theaters of Madrid, Seville, Granada
and Malaga, and are, some of them,
famous for beauty and grace. The
maestro of the ballet, Don Jose Prans,
was for many years attached to the Court
of the Queen of Spain. Prof. Risley
went to very great expensein bringing the
troupe to the Uuited States, and rejected
several tempting offers from theaters OF
Paris and London to have them appear
there previous to their performances in
this city. There are a number of male
dancers in the troupe who are equally adj
mirable with the others for their grace
and agility. The beautiful dances OF
Andalusia and the Zingara will be pro
duced by the troupe, and will not fail to
attract great crowds. York Sun.

TIE WAY TODOIr
The Chicago IImes says

Inc chicago Tunes says
A neat little trick is being perpctrated
on the New York public by the Directors
of the Pneumatic Tunnel. The innocents
visiting the work arc requested before re-
turning to upper air to register their names
in book, a request already complied
with by several thousands. The first
pages of the book contain a petition TO
the Legislature in IFS favor, and of course
the names of all visitors will be laid be
fore that body as enthusiastic endOrsers
of the enterprise. This neat little trick is
one worthy the best minds ever produced
by the State of Massachusetts.
That is very ''neat little trick" but
the Tennessee Radicals can beat that
easily. They have no trouble in persuad.
ing the colored man and brother to believe
that petition for reconstruction is ar
appeal for government aid, in the shape
of bounty, pension or homestead, to the
colored troops who ''fought nobly."

SEVERE RUT JUST.

The Radical majority in the House of
Representatives is receiving some very Sc
we're but Just blows from its own party
for its course in the Butler-cadet affair.
The Cincinnati Gazette in its issue of the
18th thus takes its political friends to
task in the following appropriate style:
The House, finding that too many of
its members have sold cadet appointments
to be disciplined, is now directing its viz
tuous judgments to those outside persons
who tempted the members. Let the mem
bers get them to a nunnery where no one
can approach them, and where an iron
grating will prevent the passing of con-
siderations. And while it accepts as a
fit colleague r. r. Butler, who sold a
cadetship for bride, itturns its avenging
virtue on Gen. Schoepf, an examiner in
the Patent Office, and demands his expul-
sion because he innocently transferred the
money. is it possible that the House is
unconscious that it is making itself thu
laughing stock of the whole country

Fatal NEGRO CONFLICT.

An alteration took place last Sunday, at
Pleasant Valley, near Winsted, Conn,
between two negroes named Dolphin and
Freeman. The affair grew out of desire
to settle the question as to, which of the
two was the strongest. The contest had
a serious conclusion, Freeman being
killed by Dolphin. While Freeman was
being pounded by Dolphin, the latter's
wife interfered to prevent murder, and
Dolphin turned on her, beating her with
a stone jug and chair, until her lower jaw
was broken. Mr. ST. John was also so
badly injured about the head and face,
that it is doubtful if he RECEIVERS. After
the death of Freeman, Dolphin escaped,
but was arrested in Winchester and lodged
in the Winsted lookup.
