The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1871-04-13

YESTERDAY bill to incorporate company
to construct tunnel or tunnels under the
streets of Philadelphia and Camden was re-
ported favorably by committee to the House
of Representatives. We presume that this
is Mr.. W. F. Smiths great pneumatic
scheme in a new shape, end we request the
Philadelphia members who really have the
interests of the city at heart to pay some atten-
tion to it and prevent it from becoming law,
in case it has any resemblance to the great
boring bill that has been SO frequently de-
nounced by the press of Philadelphia. We
are unable to imagine any legitimate ends,
which majority of the citizens of Philadel-
phia will approve, to be accomplished by the
construction of tunnels of any description
whatever under the streets; and while un-
willing to oppose any enterprise of real
value, we have, without being informed with
regard to the details of the bill reported yes
terday, no hesitation whatever in protesting
against its passage. Mr.. w. F. Smith
and his friends will never be permitted to
dig up the streets of Philadelphia after the
fashion proposed in his great pneumatic
scheme; and it will save trouble to all parties
if the Legislature refuses to count enance
anything of the kind.

Good Effect of the Results of the Confer

ConstantinopLe (MGrch 1s) Cor. London Echo.
The result of the deliberations of the con-
ference has been received with general feel
ing of relief; for although the main point at
issue was known to have been virtually settled
some weeks ago, still apprebensions existed that
some contingent question might crop up, that
some difficulty as to the details of the treaty
might arise which, If 1t did not actually lead to
war; would maintain yet longer the state of dis
quiet in which wars and rumors of wars have
held this country for eight months past to the
great detriment of its commerce aud finances.
Turkey does not, 1t is true, reap any very sub
stantial benefit from the treaty, yet the future
dangers to which 1t exposes her are remote and
less vital than the peril of present war would
have been with an empty exchequer and allies
only half-bearted In her cause. But the incident,
which the treaty eliminates, has not been with
out moral advantage to this country and Gov
ernment; it has thoroughly justified the outlay
of an iron-clad fleet, for which the Porte has
often been severely criticized in financial cir
Turks know how to make the best of their posi-
ton; that they possess political wisdom and
foresight, and can play the only card in their
hands, which in this case was their naval
strength to the best possible advantage. This
ability on their part has STAYED off war when
Western Europe was craving for peace, and
England should not be backward In recognizing,
by increased consideration and confidence, the
statesmanlike qualities which have preserved
peace without any sacrifice of national dignity.

eB- THE EVENING TELEGRAPH, from its origna
establishment has been in the receipt OF telegra-
phc news from the New YORK Associated Press,
which consists Of the Tribune, Times, Herald,
World, Sun, Journal Of Commerce, EUening Post
Commercial Advertiser, and Evening Erpress. The
success which has attended our enterprise is, in
itself, a sufficient evidence OF the freshness full
u ess, and reliability Of the news which we have
eceived from this source. In March, 1870, we
entered into a special contract by which THE
EVENING TELEGRAPH has the exclusive use of the
news furnished in the afternoon by the Associated
Press to its own members. the North american, In
q1srer Ledger, Press Age Record, and German Demo-
of this city, and the leading journals Of the East
N orth, West and South; and hereafter THE TELE-
GRAPH will be the only evening paper published IN this
tiV in which the afternoon dispatches Of the Asso-
ciated Press will appear.

IT SEEMS to be generally understood that
loan of $500, 1000 to construct new pave
ment on Broad street will be authorized; and,
in that event, the citizens of Philadelphia
should rigidly insist upon a wise expenditure
of this money. The pavement should be laid
down in the best manner that can be devised,
and the whole subject of modern pavements
should be fully investigated by competent
authorities before contract is given ont.
1t will not do to waste this money in a foolish
and extravagant experiment. The whole city
ought to be repaved and if this gigantic un-
dertaking is to be commenced on Broad
street, the appropriation for that famed
locality should be expended in an especially
judicious and effective manner.

NAPOLEON.
The Bonapartist Programm


The London ObSerOer of the Goth ult says:-
The following statement of the programme
adopted by Napoleon has been communicated
to u.s.
The arrival of the Emperor Napoleon in Eng
land has given rise to a variety of rumors which
have no authority whatever. Napoleon III may
not be so soemnly reticent as he has been re-
presented to be. but certainly he will not explain
bis views and intentions to every enterprising
person who, per fds dut nefds, gets into Camden
House. 1t has been asserted that the health of
the Emperor is very bad indeed; but we are
informed that, on the contrary, there is a
marked improvement in his health. The story
of the National Guards of Paris being bribed by
Bonapartist gold is sufficiently refuted by the
facts that Bonapartist gold is very scarce, and
that the Belleville men and their adherents are
and have been in urgent need of money. The
ex-Emperor will not sanction intrigues on his
behalf Whenever he deems it necessary he will
address the nation openly, as he did on the eve
of the elections and after the anti-Imperial vote
in the Assembly. Napoleon III, 1t is stated,
will not depart from the passive attitude he
has maintained since his departure from France.

tFrom the Denver (Col.) Tribune. !
ThOs. A. scott and Andrew
Carnegie.

Tho telegraph recently announced
the above named gentlemen as two Of
tho new directors Of the Union Pacific
Railroad Company-the former to be
it's President, the latter Il member of
the executive committee.
The business history of these gen.
tlemcn may be Of interest to the youth
OF Denver as illustrating what is pos
slblo in our country where boys are
Possessed of correct habits aud with
ordinary ability, combined with energy,
perseverance aui high aims-determine
to win for themselves fame aud fortune,
where neither is inherited from their
parents or relatives.
Many young man imagines HIM
self capable OF great many things if
he only had IS start in the world
that is, possessed Of few hundreds
or thousands OF dollars. The gentle
men whose names head this article
commenced life penniless and without
- starter.' But beginning at the
very bottom Of tho ladder, 10th have
achieved cminence and wealth. We
are not as familiar with the early his.
tory Of the former as with that OF the
latter. ... N'
Our first knowledge of Thomas A.
Scott, was about the year 1850, when
be was acting as the agent of Bingham
4 Dock, freighting company similar
to our Nyo Forwarding Company,
whose business was the carrying Of
merchandise across the Allegheny
mountains between Philadelphia aud
Pittsburg. Strange as it may seem,
even al so late u date, no railroad had
yet traverscd the great State Of Penn
sylvana, and for a considerable dis
tanee between Philadelphia and Pitts
burg goods were transported 10 wagons
Mr.. Scott was located at Holidays
burg; and it may be reasonably
inferred that occupying such IN humble
position he did not possess either
wealth or influence. The great Penn
sylvania Central was shortly after
this completed to Pittsburg, aud Mr.
Scott was appointed Assistant Su-
perintendent oil the Western Division,
extending from Altoona 10 Pittsburg
"a distance Of about two. hundred
miles-with headquarters at Pittsburg.
He chose for his Office the outer depot,
where everything connected with the
operating OF the road, from the repair
shop to the running Of trains, wonld
come under bis immediate supervision F;
but not fully satisfied with this, he
was among the first 10 bring the tels.
graph to his aid, thereby enabling him
to manage and control bis trains aud
employees "a absolutely when, hun.
dred miles or more away Is though
personally prevent with thsm. Mr..
Scott may have been the first to do
this---at all events he conceived the
ideA Of having Q a,telegraph instrument
and operator in his own Office. The
road was new and the company poor,
aud could not afford to pay sn opera
tor a'high salary. A cheap one was
necessary. An application TO John
Glass, the receiving clerk In the tels-
graph Office 1t Pistsburg, revealed The
fact that there was boy. aged fourteen,
