ANAPOLOGY TO MIR. QUTGLEY.

In the House of Representatives yesterday,
MIR. Quigley corrected PHE EVENING TELE-
GRAPH by denying that he was in favor of the
commission bills, and we accordingly make
haste to correct our mistake, and to make all
proper apologies. Mr.. Quigley's name did
not appear among those of the members of
the Committee on Municipal Corporations
who signed Mr.. Johnstons report, and, under
all the peculiar circumstances of the case, we
thought we were justified in putting him down
among the advocates of the commission bills.
We regret exceedingly that Mr.. Quigley was
misrepresented in this manner in our columns,
for the Philadelphia members of the Legisla-
ture who have favored the commission, bills
have exposed themselves to the execration
and hatred of their fellow citizens,
and have incurred disgrace that will cling
to them for life. That it should have been
possible for such an error to occur, however,
is more the fault of the members of the Legis-
lature than of the newspapers; for those of
our lawmakers who have been opposed to the
commission outrage have been profoundly
silent on the subject, and it has been impos-
sible for the alarmed and indignant people of
Philadelphia to tell who were their friends
and who their enemies. The signatures to
MIR. Johnston's report gave the first authori-
tative declaration that any of the members of
the Legislature were opposed to the bills, and
it was truly unfortunate for Mr.. Quigley that
his name did not appear. AS Mr.. Quigley
has now declared openly that he is not in
favor of the bills, it is to be hoped that he
will distinguish himself by an open and per-
sistent antagonism to them in case
any attempt is made to revive them in any
shape The people of Philadelphia are not at
all satisfied that the danger is passed, or that
desperate attempt will not yet be made to
create the commissions, and we are far. from
sharing the confidence of our Democratic con-
temporary the Age, that the Democratic
Senate will prove more virtuous than the Re-
publican House. The Democrats have never
yet in the history of the State or nation dis
tinguished themselves by their eagerness to
keep their fingers out of the public
treasury, and with the example of the nomi-
nally Democratic government of New York be-
fore our eyes, our hopes that we will be able to
escape out of our present dilemma by Demo-
cratic assistance are somewhat limited. Mr..
Quigley, therefore, and all the members of
the Legislature who have any virtue left,
can deserve the confidence and regard of the
public at large by sounding the alarm in case
any attempt is made to revive the com mission
scheme in any shape whatever, and by op-
posing it openly, boldly, and vigorously in
committee and on the floor of the House or
Senate.

RELIEF OF FRENCH SUFFERERS.
A CABLE telegram from Paris says that ''the
members of the National Guard have been
invited to call at the American Legation to
receive each five francs in money or pound
of tobacco, from subscriptions made in
America for the relief of the sufferers in
France" 1t was generally supposed in this
country that starving stomachs and not empty
tobaoco-pipes were to be filed by the money
collected from American citizens. The wisdom
of giving any portion of the funds thus raised
to the National Guard of Paris may we'll
be questioned. The French Government
will not permit them to suffer serious per-
sonal privations; or, at the worst, their posi-
tion is such that so long as food can be OBJ
tained in any quarter they will be certain of
receiving fair share of it, In days of piping
peace the soldiers who parade through
capital are about the last objects that require
charitable assistance from q foreign country;
and the proposition to give them their
choice between a five franc piece and
pound of tobacco indicates either
that there are no real wants to
be relieved, or that those who preside over
the distribution of the American funds in
Paris are wofully deficient in charity and
common sense. That many thousands of
homeless wanderers are suffering fearfully in
France, however, cannot be doubted; and
while the credit of contributing the means
of relief remains with the American sub
soribers to the French Relief Fund, the
shame of misappropriating it rests exclu-
sively with those who have undertaken the
distribution of American subscriptions.

THE FOREIGN WAR.-We presume
it is q settled thing that peace is made
between France and Germany. But
we incline to the belief, that the hard
terms imposed upon France will re-
suit in a deadly hate between the
two nations, and that the peace now
made, will prove but an armed truce.
Revenge is now the cry all. over
France whose reorganization will
probably be upon q thorough military
basis which will keep Germany al
ways armed, and on the look out for
nm attack. The opportunity which
the French will be constantly await
ing will sooner or later offer ITSELF
Germany, under the policy inaugur-
ated by Bismarck, will he grasping
and ambitious and looked upon as
the enemy of all its smaller neigh
bors, who under the instigations of
France, If not of England too, will
he ready to enter into combinations
against Germany, which will ulti-
, mately share the fate of other powers
whose strength and Ovcrreaching
ambition has led to their DOWNFALL
The state Of things likely to exist
in Europe, as the result of the defeat
of the French is to be deplored 10y
every philanthropist, as likely to
check the progress of popular liberty
for generations to rome. And aided
by the lapse, in this country, from
the highest point of human liberty,
into despotism may merge the pres
ent civilization into the darkness and
tyranny of medieval ages. History
seems to establish the fact that man
kind may reach a certain point In
upward progress; but when that
point is attained, luxury. and conse-
quent corruption cause a r%etrogress-
ion as rapid ms it is fatal to the cause
of virruous liberty.
Since the foregoing was written, II
seems that the determination to in
suit France, wantonly, by the need
less entry of Germans into Paris, has
created a storm Of excitement among
the Parisians that threatens n bloody
strife in the streets of the city, ant

We hope Bismarck will think bettel

without furnishing his laurels by

IN POLITICS.

The Richmond Wing is making a
gallant fight against the subtle
scheme of the Pennsylvania Central,
to substitute the Railroads of Virgin
10, and thus make the Southern At
lantic roads tributary to Philadel-
phfa. It seems strange to us that an
editor, or legislator, In the Old Do
mini0n, % be found .mercenary, or
simple enough to aid in the accom-
plishment Of a scheme so dangerous
10 the independence of the State, and
ruinous to the growth and prosperity
Of its own cities. A Pennsylvania
Congressman Is reported to have said
that the overgrOwn corporation,
known as the Pennsylvania Central,
elects the Congressman in every dis
trict through which the road passes,
thus showing 1t to be a monster polit-
ical engine, as well as an enemy to
every competing road which it can
not buy, or control. Give it the
right of way through Virginia, in the
direction Of Charleston, and through
Kentucky to the Gulf, aud it will
not he difficult to estimate its politi.
Cal power In the Southern States, and
its damaging effects upon the local
interests thoughtlessly, placed at its
mercy.
1t Is time the South should be
placed on its guard against the insidi-
nus schemes of such overgrown mo-
nOpolies. Not content with u road
To- the Pacific, built ut a cost to the
country, not only great enough to
accomplish the work, but to make
m%illionaires of the Corporators and
contractors, northern monopolies are
laying their plans to make the South
ern Pacific road a tributary to north
crn cities. The work of tapping it
and drawing its trade into the mar
kets Of the North has already been
commenced. The Pennsylvania Cen
trail Is reaching out its arms, across
Virginia, to intercept the trade to
Richmond and Norfolk through
Kentucky, to cut of Charleston, Sa-
vanah and Atlanta, whilst other
arms are extended over Kansas and
Missouri to divert the Pacific trade
f ON New Orleans and Mobile. A
little reflection and, even, n cursory
observation ought to satisfy the South
that this is no fancy picture, but a
premeditated scheme, and the ind.
cations are that its consummation il a
fOregone conclusion, unless 1t lie de-
feated by the patriotic eXertions and
wise foretliought of the statesmen OF
the South.
We hope the Senate Of Virginia is
made of better stuff than to be bul
lied, or bought by the lobbyists OF
the Pennsylvania Central, and that
its bold attempt at invasion will be
met by n defeat so signal rs to deter
all other monopolists from similar
attempts in any other State. Success
10 the Wing, and its gallant efforts
in defense of the honor and interests
of the Old Dominion.
