closing as follows: "Now, therefore, be

ONTO THE INTERSECTION.

The Public Building Commissioners have re-
mained inactive all the spring. because it was
impossible to tell whether they might not at
any time be interfered with by the Legisla-
ture, and their operations discontinued. Now
that the Legislature has adjourned, there is
no necessity whatever for further delay, and
it is sincerely to be hoped that the work of
excavating and laying the foundations will be
commenced Immediately, and dpushed forward
as much as possible before next winter. The
Washington Square ring have been defeated
at every point, and there is nothing whatever
to prevent the commissioners from carrying
out their grand design of placing a magnif-
cent city hall upon the intersection of Broad
and Market streets. This is the only proper
site for such structure, and as all the talk
about the obstruction of the streets has pro-
ceeded either from persons interested in
having the public buildings placed
either upon Washington or Independence
Squares, or from old fogies who make prac-
tice of protesting against all public improve
ments, no further attention need be paid to
any clamors on this point. Leaving every
thing else out of consideration, architectural
effect and economy in heating, lighting,
warming, and ventilation demand that the
buildings shall be placed upon the intersec-
tion; and if the commissioners commence
operations at once, there will be enough done
before the season closes to effectually prevent
any successful effort from being made in the
future to obstruct them in their work,
bod there will be reasonable chance that be-
fole the centennial anniversary of 1915 Phila-
delpAia will have pile of municipal build
ings which her citizens may be proud to show
to their visitors.

LEASE OF THE NE WJERSEY ROADS.
The proposed lease of the New Jersey Rail-
roads by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
continues to attract large share of public
attention, and notwithstanding the approval
of the project by majority of the directors
of the united New Jersey companies, it is
evident that the ratification of the lease will
encounter considerable opposition from por-
ton of the New Jersey stockholders, as we'll
as from some of those who have hitherto been
actively concerned in the management of
their works. 1t remains to be seen
whether these opposing efforts will be sufi-
cient to prevent the important consolidation
in questiyn. The published arguments treat
the matter in dispute mainly with reference
to its effect upon the welfare of New Jersey
and upon the pecuniary interests of the stock
holders of the united companies, and the de-
cision apparently hinges on the opinion that
may be ultimately formed on these subjects.
On the one hand the prospect is held
out of an assured revenue of ten
per cent. on large capital stock,
and an avoidance of serious future expendi-
lures, while on the other it is claimed that
even larger profit than ten per cent. per
annum may frequently be realized and that
the danger of diminution of revenue will be
as great under the lease as it is under the
present system of management. Considera-
tions of State pride and of proper regard for
local development are also brought to bear
upon the controversy; and if the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad had not been so uniformly sue
cessful in negotiations of a similar character
heretofore, there would be apparently grave
doubts of the triumph of its policy in the
present instance.

DOWNFALL or THE COMMUNE.

DOWNFALL or THE COMMUNE.
The complete triumph Of France over the
Commune is atlast announced; and the fearful
cost of this success is indicated by the state
ment that sixty thousand lives have been lost
during the late movements, and that one
third of the French capital has been de-
stroyed. 1t is also said that there are fifty
thousand dead bodies in the houses and cell
lars of Paris. AL the fearful engines of de-
struction collected during long siege to be
used against the Prussians if they attempted
a direct assault upon the French capital have
been employed with dreadful effect in inter-
necine warfare; and the martial spirit of the
nation has found vent in the unprecedentedly
barbarous destruction of its own citizens
Henceforth Paris will be shorn of its greatest
glories, and instead of bewildering giddy
world of fashion, or of exerting command
ing influence over people who, in spite of
their innumersble calamities, still possess
many elements of strength and greatness, it
will be an object of mingled dread and de-
struction

THE ADJO URNkENT or THE LEGIS-
LATURE

The people of the State and the citizens of
Philadelphia can breathe freer now that the
Legislature has ad djourned without having
perpetrated any very scandalous iniquities-
at least comparatively speaking. On Satur-
day the usual complimentary speeches were
made; the usual silver-mounted inkstands.
gold-headed canes, silver plated tea sets, and
other trumpery presented, according to a
pleasant legislative custom; the usual compli-
mentary resolutions passed, and then our law
makers, after shaking hands all around in
friendly fashion and declaring to each other
that their public and private conduct
had been irreproachable, separated to return
home and give an account of themselves to
their constituents. We cannot say that the
last session of the Legislature was absolutely
without guile, but its performances will COM
pare favorably with those of former sessions.
Owing to peculiar combinations of ciroum-
stances in some cases, and owing to a want of
nerve in others. a numbsr of particularly ont
rsgeous schemes were nipped in the bud; and
although there was an evident disposition to
make the public suffer to a considerable ex-
tent, we believe that the taxpayers of the
Commonwealth will have comparatively little
cause for complaint. The actual performances,
good or bad, of the Legislature cannot be
absolutely known for some time to come, but,
owing to the ''dead-locks" which oc-
CURED every few weeks between the
two houses, the probabilities are that the OBJ
noxious enactments were comparatively few.
The session, although moderately free from
iniquities, was not creditable one, and it
was prolonged at a great expense to the State,
and the necessary public business was delay
ed, solely on account of the wholly needless
disputes between the two houses, in which
we regret to say that one was about as much
to blame as the other. The Democrats of the
Senate displayed disposition to rule or ruin,
but the Republicans of the House, who might
have thrown the entire blame on the Senate
by making few not improper concessions,
were equally obstinate, and are deserving of
censure. The session is at an end, however,
for which we are thankful, and we can only
express the hope that an effort will be made
to send better class of men to Harris burg
next winter.
