An artiole in the Sunday Diapatcli of yester day contains quotations from aots of the old Colonial Assembly and the State Legislature whioh proTO that a distinct understanding was established, more than a oentury ago, that the ground lying immediately south of the State House should remain "a publio green and walk forever," and that this understand ing has been repeatedly confirmed and re affirmed by competent authorities. The Die patch also directs attention to tho remarkable fact that the city has no legal title whatever to two lots of ground in the centre of the Walnut street front of Independence Square, which are ninety-nine feet front by two hun dred and fifty-five feet deep, running back one-half the distance of the square, and it alleges that "soa day the heirs of the real owners may turn up." In the present state of publio opinion, and tho absence of appropriations by Councils, would be totally wrong for the Building Commission to attempt to either cut down the trees on Independence Square or to lay the foundations of new buildings thore, even if no legal difficulties arising from a defective title existed. In all justice and fairness, the people who are bo deeply interested, and who are to foot the bill for the magnificent struc tures contemplated, should have an opportu nity of saying where their money is to be ex pended. It would be an unpardonable outrage to take a snap judgment against them on this question, and to proceed to incur heavy debts i n their name, before appropriations had been legally made. The Building Commission have gone to the verge of their power in awarding contracts, and it would be the height of folly and injustice to take a single additional step before their proceedings are fully and finally confirmed alike by Councils and the tacit or formal consent of the Legis lature. Under the most favorable circum stances, it will be an extremely doubtful and dangerous proceeding to erect buildings in In dependence Squar e in the faoe of the exist ing restrictions and in defiance of the absence of a clear title to a large portion of the land that will be occupied. And if any new movement is attempted, we hope the oppo nents of the Independence Square project will make prompt application for an in junction. THE 'CASE OF LIEUTENANT-COMMANDER SEELY. One of the inconveniences of being a staff offioer in the United States navy under the present condition of affairs is the liability of being court-martialled and punished for what appear to be heinous offenses against disci pline in the eyes of the line officers, but whioh to the untutored eyes of civilians would seem to be highly meritorious actions. One of the advantages of being a line officer is the privilege of committing outrages that on shore would subject the offender to a term of years in the penitentiary, but which a naval court-martial only thinks worthy of a nomi nal punishment. The difference between the status of the line and staff in this respect is fully exemplified in the cases of Assistant Surgeon Charles L. Qreene and Lieutenant Commander Henry B. Seely. Dr. Greene de clined to take from the sick list the name of a man whom he considered unfit for duty, when ordered to do so by his commanding officer. For this he was tried by a court martial last August, and sentenced to be sus pended from rank, on furlough pay, for two years, and to be publioly reprimanded by the Honorable Secretary of the Navy. The Hon orable Seoretary of the Navy tacitly acknow lodged the injustice of this finding of the court, while confirming it, by remitting the major part of the sentence, and simply giv ing Dr. Greene a mild reprimand. The up shot of the affair was that Dr. Greene promptly resigned his commission as an Assist' ant Surgeon in the United States navy, as any man with the instincts of a gentleman would have done under the same circum stances. Lieutenant-Commander Seely was tried last September for permitting the infliction of unlawful and cruel punishments and tortures upon the persons of certain seamen under his command as exeoutive officer of the Pawnee, and also for falsely representing the facts of the case to the commander of the vessel. For this little irregularity Mr. Seely was fouud guilty, and the severest sentence that the Seoretary of the Navy could extort from the court by sending its findings back to it seve ral times for revision, was that Lieutenant- Commander Seely should be suspended from duty for four years on furlough pay, with loss of rank for that time, and be publicly repri manded by the Honorable Seoretary of the Navy. The Honorable Seoretary of the Navy confirms this "inadequate" sentenoe because otherwise Lieutenant-Commander Seely would escape all punishment. These two cases need no comment, as they speak plainly for themselves, and illustrate per fectly the difference that exists between the line and staff offloers, a difference that the latter are endeavoring to have equalized by asking Congress to grant them positive rank whioh will plaoe them in some measure on an equality with the men who now domineer over them. Both of these sentences were outrages that deserve emphatic condemnation, and in the case of Seely, especially, justioe has not been done, and will , not be done has disgraced and made to serve out a term in the penitentiary besides. Discipline must be maintained on board men-of-war, but the laws prohibiting cruel j punishments are stringent, and some measure more eftloient than courts-martial should be adopted for thoir enforcement, and for the protection of the sailors. The offloers of the court that imposed this absurd sentenoe on Mr. Seely booame participants in his crime by not punishing him as he deserved, and the reprimand to all parties concerned given in the general order published on Satur day is far from being an adequate condemna tion of the outrage. v Ths Ukabt or Scsak B. Anthony was made to leap with joy to use an expression that is highly figurative when applied to the heart of such a staid and venerable female by the announcement that a proposition to submit to the people of Minnesota a woman's suffrage constitutional amendment had passed one branch of the Legislature. But the joyous capers of Miss Susan's vital organ wore des tined to be of very short duration. The full phraseology of the proposed - amendmont has fallen under Susan's eyes, and she has beon horrified by learning that the women's ballots shall not be deposited in the same boxes as the men's ! It is scarcely possible that there could have happened anything which would contribute so much towards strengthening Susan's deliberate opinion that men, as a class, are not only indisposed to do justioe to women, but morally and intellectually inca pable of so doing, even if they wore so dis posed. But the worst of it is that Susan's own conscience is not altogether at ease in the matter. She some time since fulminated a pronunoiamento against a oertain domestio arrangement whioh has been in vogue ever since men and women were first given in marriage to each other; and now she dis covers with dismay that her teachings have not been altogether in vain, and that, al though the lawmakers of Minnesota are not yet disposed to decree that it is not exactly the thing for a man and his wife to repose be neath the same coverlet, it is manifestly im proper for their ballots to nestle together in the same cigar-box. The Bedford Street Mission, as we have often insisted, is doing a good work, and doing it as well as possible with the means at its command. Yet it is always in strait ened circumstances, a ready means for outlay being found for every cent that finds its way into its treasury. On general principles, we are opposed to the State stepping outside of its legitimate sphere by contributing to the support of charitable institutions of any kind, but there are exceptional cases, in which the people's money cau accomplish infinitely more good in this way than in almost any other. In the general appropriation bill, recently reported to the House of Represen tatives at Harrisburg, a few worthy institu tions are set down for sums varying between $1000 and $5000. The name of the Bedford Street Mission is not included in the list, as it should be. We trust that some member of the House who is fuiuiJiur with the condition of this section of Philadelphia, and can ap preciate both the necessities of the Mission and the good results that flow from its labors, will at the proper time seoure an amendment to the bill placing this worthy charity on a footing of equality with those already named in the bill. Ths Timb fob Amnbstv. The Lynchburg Vir ginian presents the following forcible argument for the favorable action of Congress on the subject of universal amnesty, without delay: "The Sjuthern States are Just now reorganizing the various de partments of their government, under constitutions that have been accepted by Congress, and which provide effectual guarantees against any reversal of the publio Judgment pronounced in their accept ance. Besides, Congress has reserved to itself the right, assorted by Mr. Morton In tho Sanate, If the States should prove faithless to their obligations, 'to deal with them horeafter.' What more can be neces sary 7 But, as we have said, the States are now re organizing ail of these departments, and judicial officers are to be elected for a long term of years. This being the fact, and It being necessary that the people should have the largest possible Held of selec tion, It Is Important that Congress should do what ever it may Intend to do speedily. It should, by a general law, relieve all disabilities, so that the best talents and the largest experience to be fonnd In the States may bo made available to the people. This Is the opportune moment, and the healing measure can be applied with more advantage to the Southern communities now than at any time In the future. Six months, or even three months hence, It will come too late to serve the beneficent ends that might be accomplished by the application of such a measure now" onirtJiitY. Commodore Ktepheu Champlin, V. H. N. Following close upon the death of "Old Iron sides" comes the announcement that another of the heroes of our . early naval history has breathed his last. Commodore Stephen Cbam plin, the last surviving officer who participated in the battle of Lake Erie, died at Buffalo, N Y., on Saturday, at the venerable age of eighty He was born at South Klugston, Rhode Island, on the 17th of November, 1789. His father had been a Revolutionary '. soldier, but his mother was a sister of Commodore Perry s father, and be selected the1 sea for the scene of his career, becoming a sailor at the age of sixteen. At the age of twenty-two he had already become the captain of a mcr bant vessel. The war of 1812 diverted him from his peaceful calling, and ou the 23d of May, In that year, he was appointed a sailing master In the United States Navy, under Com modore Perrv, and soon after was placed in command of a gunboat at Newport. He was subsequently transferred to the Lake Erie squadron, and in the celebrated battle off Put' in-Bay, on the 10th of September, 1813, com manded the schooner Scorpion, which led the advance of the American line and fired the first and last shot on that memorable occasion. Sailing Master Champlin was among the officers commended by Commodore Perry in his official report of tho action. The supremacy of the United Sta'es being fully established on Lake Erie by the results of this battle, the deceased was ordered to the scone of active hostilities on the upper lakes, and was once taken prisoner by the British, after sustaining a severe wound. from the effects of which be never fully re covered. At the close of the war he was placed , In command of the Porcupine, aad remained in active service, holding various commands on the " lakes, until when, at the. ageot sixty, he was placed on the rocrre4 list, with full par. The Scorpion bore tvre long guns, one carry ing a 82-pound ht, and the other a Impound Shot. When the British and American fleets encountered each other, about noon, tho Scor pion flanked the Lawrenco, Terry's flagship, uion the left. Barclay, the British commander, opened tho battle with a shot from his fluhlp, which, falling short on account of tho distance, wna answered by a shot from the Scorpion, and the battle soon be camo general. Champlin maintained his plane throughout the entire engagement near the Lawrence, which, riddled with shot, was abandoned by Perry early In the fight. When nil tbe other British vessels had struck their colors, two of them, the Little Belt and the Chippewa, attempted to escape, butthoy wore pursued by the Scorplou and the Trlppe, and at ten o'clock at night tho final nhot of the engage ment was fired by the Scorpion, In answer to which tho Llttlo Bolt capitulated and tho b.tltle was at an cud. Champlin was placed after the battle In com mand of two of the captured vessels, and In the spring of 1814, iu command of tho Tigress, with Captain Turner in the Scorpion, ho blockaded the port of Mackinac, and afterwards cruised about the upper lakes for some months, cutting off the supplios of the enemy. In September, 1814, a party of British and Iudlans were . scat from Mackinac in five boats to raise the o-lockado. The enemy surprised tbe Tigress and the Scorpion on the 3d ofSoptember, falling upon tho former first about 9 o'clock in the evening. The dark ness was so impenetrable that the enemy were within fifty yards of Champlln's vessel before they wero discovered. The attacking party numbered one hundred men, while Champliu's force numbered but thirty, and, although ho received them with a heavy broadside, his vessel was quickly boarded and captured. Every offi cer on the Tigris was wounded, Champlin so soverely by a cnnnlstcr-shot that he never fully recovered from its effects. In the year 1810, after the close of tho war and his release from captivity, Champlin was placed in command of the Porcupine, his wound, howovcr, incapacitating him from much active service. In 1845 he was ordered to the steamer Michigan, and made his last cruise in March, 1848, when he was placed on the retired list, with full pay. On tho establishment of the higher ranks In the navy, after the outbreak of the Rebellion, he received a commodore's com mission, being tbe ninth in ordor on the retired list. At last, after full and protracted delibera tion and consultation, President Angull, of tho University of ermont, baa declined the f re sidency ot Michigan University. The Burling ton free I'ress maKea the announcement by authority mid iu Italics. VV o trust, therefore, the matter Is now settled. At a religious meeting at Allanburg, Cauada, on Sunday night week, an old man arose, and calmly said be bad but a short time to stay, and was determined to live in such a manner as to secure an entrance to lif aven. lie sat down, but in a few minutes again aroso apparently ill. A friend near blm caught bim as be was tailing, and in a few minutes he died. BPEOIAL NOTICES. br additional Special Aortcat eat (A. Intids Jtooes.
