We seldom deal in myths or anything mythical never when we have positive realities palpable substantialities to deal with. Hence when, two or three days sirce, we warned the Republican party and the Republican members of the Legislature against a scheme hatched by Democrats and a few rather more than fishy Republicans, to transfer by means of legislation affecting the whole stratum of Philadelphia society, moral political and financial, the political power of that cily and of the State from the to the Democratic party we were in dead earnest and said precisely what we meant. We are glad that our admonition did not fall upon deaf ears, and that the matter is receiving the attention its importance demand! from the Republican State Central Committee, the highest authority known in the party organization.

At a meeting of tho committee held in Philadelphia on Wednesday last, after fully stating the details of the scheme in the form of preamble, the following resolutions (including the preamble, the latter clause of which we give), were unanimously adopted AifD Whereas, The safety of the the Republican party requires the utmost fidelity of intention on the part of its Representatives, in order to secure it) triumph in the next Presidential campaign; therefore, Jtwolved, That the proposition to misgovern the city of Philadelphia by commissions, and the attempt by legislative action to place the property of its citizens at the disposal of persons not enjoying the confidence of the public, and to deprive the people of the right of self government, meets with our unqualified condemnation, and we call upon the Republican Senators and Representatives atHarrisburg to vote against the same. "Resolved, That the people and the press be and they are hereby earnestly requested to take active measures to prevent the introduction into our midst of the odious system of government under which the people of New York city are sow su tiering.

This is right and prompt action, and will, we trust, have all the effect which the source from whence it emanates en titles it to have upon the Legislature and upon the party. The scales having been removed from all eye3 by this proceeding of the State Central Committee, no Republican member can have the excuse of voting thought leasly or ignorantly upon the measures announced and denounced. We think we are safe, therefore, in saying that the scheme of the conspirators to obtain political power in this State for the Democracy by Legislative fraud and' cor ruption, will be defeated. In this belief we rest. Rut we haven word to whisper in the.

cars of Philadel phia Republicans. pon you shoulders rests the blame of all the difficulties in the Legislature under which we now labor. But for your remissness there would have been no trouble in passing a just apportionment bill, and but for your negligence of the first and paramount duty of citizenship, the exercise of the elective franchise, no such scheme as we are now combating would have been dreamed of. By your want of zeal and management, and your culpable absence from the poll at the special election In the First Senatorial district, you permitted Dechert te be elected by fraud it may be but stall elected, and thus transferred the Senate to the Democrats the fruitful source of all our woca." We say this in no unkind spirit, but because it in true, and a truth of such importance that it should be kept constantly before you. Let us hope that, taught a wholesome lesson by the folly of the past, you will learn to act with more Zealand wisdom In tbe future.

BETERSIKQ POSITION THE I. AND mew The Philadelphia Itrdyer has coin piled a umber of i terestin tables from the return of the new census, which shows, so far as population concerned, the relative position of theseveral States of the Union. The seven States stand ing at the head of the list, rank accord Ine to population as follows: 1, New York; 2, Pennsylvania; 3, Ohio; 4, JUL nois; 5, Missouri; Indiana; 7, Massa chusetts. Here we observe that four out of the seven most populous States are "new States;" that in, they were not included in the original "thirteen." At the foundation of the government under the present Constitution, in four States then at the head of the list in point of population were 1 Virginia; 2, Pennsylvania; 3, North Carolina; 4, Massachusetts. In making comparison between the rank of the leading States of that day, and the leading States of the present, we miss Virgnia.

She then stood first, whilst now (if the State had not been divided) she would have rank ed in the seventh place, or next after Indiana; Massachusetts, which, in 1790, stood fourth on the list, now holds the seventh place; North Curolina, which stood third, ranks fourteenth. Eight States standing at the head of the list of States contain just one half of the whole population of the United States. These are New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, Massa chusetts and Kentucky. It requires the aggregate population of the other twenty nine States to eqnl the population of these eight. The three Pacific Slates have au aggregate population about equal to that of the city of Philadelphia.

The States we3tof the Mississippi, including the Pacific States, have abaut one sixth of the whole population of the United States; While the twenty States immediately situated along the Atlantic and Gulf shores have nearly twenty one millions of people. The "seat of empire" has therefore not yet left the Atlantic coast even, much less gone wet of tbe Mississippi. THE METROPOLITAN POLICE KILL. A very close observer of matters of fact as well as matters of fancj one Will Shakspeare made the observation in a certain tragedy entitled Macbeth, Time was that when the brains were out the man would die." And a very sound observation it was in regard to men for although some men seem to shuffle along in this world through many years with, apparently, the smallest conceivable amount of brains, yet we never heard of an individual living any great length of time after having his skull cracked and all his brains let out. But itissomcwhatdifferent with things.

A good thing strangled by political Thugs, or having its brains dashed out by golden clubs wielded by the hands of traffickers in human cattle, sometimes survives or at least its ghost "revisits the glimpses of the moon" for months or years after its supposed taking off." This is the case with the Metropolitan Police Bill, killed last winter in the Legislature, as we said at the time, by corrupt means which saying is likely to be fully sustained by events now transpiring. We stated, while the question was under consideration in the Legislature, that a corruption fund, amounting to many thousands of dollars, was being raised by Democratic politicians in Philadelphia, by a forced levy upon the police of the city, amounting to a contribution from each policeman of a month's wages, for the purpose of buying votes to kill the bill and keep in place and power the illy, selected and illy organized night prowlers and ma rauders of Mayor Fox. Subsequently we mentioned a second levy, of a like amount for the same purpose, the first having proved insufficient, probably because the honest fellows entrusted with its keeping and distribution, used most of it for their own individual benefit. The scheme was successful. The power of money overcame the scruples of a few members, and votes enough were secured to defeat the bill.

It' was killed. Eut the "perturbed spirit" will not re3t. and now. like the ghost of Banquo, the spectre of the slaughtered bill appears to "fright the souls" of those who did the deed. Rut it is a bolder ghost than Banquo'tt, and instead of appearing only at "the witching hour of night, when ehurch vards yawn and graves givdup their dead," or at the festive board of some hotel or restaurant around which the corrupt ionists and plunderers have gathered to enjoy the fruits of their victory and ill gotten spoils, this spectre of the Metropolitan Police bill walks boldly into the sanc tuary of law, demands restitution, and threatens a full exposureof the iniquity.

Thu3 guilt, however it may, in fancy, have surrounded itself with screens to shut out the light from its misdeeds, is never safe. There is a waiting Nemesis tn at sooner or later seizes atul scourges the wretch tr wretches who have sinned and set an example of sin for others to follow. The following, which we take from the Philadelphia Press of yester nay, luiiy explain? tne allusions we have made THE 1'OLICK HILL. SchniedewUnd vs. Smith and Martin Defendants Fail to Appear.

As mentioned in the columns of the Iress last week, Charles Schniedewind brought suit against Lieutenant Smith and Hergeant Martin, of the present police force, to recover back $70 alleged to have been paid in two instalments during March and April, 1870, for the purpose of defeating the Metropolitan Police bill, then before the Legislature at Harrisburg. At the former hearing before Alder man Beitler neither of the defendants were present, and as Counsellor Dittman desired to examine them as to tiie plan of operations, the case was continued until yesterday, a subpoena being issued in oruer to nee a re tneir attendance. As indicated in our reportat that time, it was not to be expected that the par ties i nterested would appear, their Lest point being evidently to Jet the judg ment ue enieroa Dy uetauit. The further hearing was unpointed for four o'clock, but at that hour the only parties present M'ere the plaintiff auu iiis counsel, auci waning ine usual hour, and they failing to appear, an attachment was issued returnable on Monday next at 4 o'clock r. and the case was conti nued.

There would probably (had judgment been taken by default) au attempt have been made to settle the case by the payment of the money claimed, were it not for the attachment, but as the ease now stands an arrest must follow, and the defendants will be placed upon tbe stand either to testify as to the facts they know or to stultify themselves and refuse to answer all The case is rapidly becoming more complicated, from the fact that the parties refuse to appear, and the denouement will be looked for with considerable anxiety. "What arrangement will be mado by the authorities at the Central to suppress tho factsas they will bedoubtlcss brought forth, can only be conjectured, for, like the fabled hero, "whose ways are dark," the police force of the city will doubtless have twenty four jacks'in its coat sleeves. CONGRESSIONAL SCMHAItY. In the Senate yesterday the House bill for a centennial celebration at Philadelphia was called up by Mr. Cameron, and on his motion the bill was read, but notwithstanding an appeal from Mr.

Scott to let a vote be taken, Mr. Cole objected, and the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill came up in regular order. The section increasing the salaries of judges above present rates was adopted as follows: Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Assistant Justices of the Supreme Court, $8,000 Chief Justices Court of Claims and Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, Assistant Justices of said courts, United States District Judges, $5,000.

At a meeting of the General Committee of the Chamber of Commerce appointed for the relief of French sufferers, held yesterday afternoon, speeches were made in favor of employing an experienced man to superintend the raising and distribution of supplies, and that the American Committee should communicate with the London Committee and authorize the latter to draw upon them also urging haste in loading vessels with supplies.
