Our Republican Nobility What Should Constitute American Aristocracy. "Wiit should not blood, or wealth, or talent constitute an aristocracy In our midst? VVhy should not titles bo distributed and coats-of-arms adopted, blazonry displayed on the panels of coaches, and old silver be stamped with tho hereditary mark of gentility?" When our foretathers first entered upon a republican life they were tinctured with all of England's monaichical views, and for years after the establishment of our independence it took all the genius of the Puritan faction to crush out his spirit of love of rank. To secure Its exter mination the first Presidents preserved a studiously unostentatious mode of lite and reception. We are told that they carried to an excess, and that by the cold blast o simplicity th fair rose ot an American aris tocracy was cruelly nipped in the bud. We tender to those whom cruel fate has deprived of titles and estates to Duke Gwrx, M. D., and his fellow-sufferers our warmest sympathy and condolence. Why should any member of the family of Browjt be deprived of the address of a baron, or why should we not boast a Count of Chickahomeny, a Duke of the Dismal Swamp,,or an Earl of Albemarle? We are, therefore, pleased to sec that cer tain of the merchant princes of New York have adopted a system by means of which their proper position in the social world could be indicated. A committee of tho Chamber of Commerce of that city waited upon the Pre sident the other day, and sent in their cards, with the number of millions they were worth ' appended to their names. For example, "F. S. Winston, President Mutupl Insurance Com pany, representing seventeen million dollars; K.n.BoitDELL, President of the Erie Railroad, representing sixty millions; II. B Claflix, the largest merchant ou the globe." Now, although some fond lovers of a Uto pian equality may sneer at this lalscly termed evidence of "snobocracy," we must acknow ledge that we seo in it an easy solution to the vexed question ot superiority. Here, in this land, where all men are theoretically equal, how can we decide who shall be a Duke, or Earl, or even a Lord, in this society, unless on a like plan to the one suggested by our New York neighbors? We would suggest a scale of pi Ices whereby a title should be won: 50 millions a Prince, 20 millions a Count. 40 millions a Duke, 10 millions a Lord. 30 millions an Earl ; over 1 million a Sir or Baron. AU under one million will be plebeians, trac tions of millions apportioned according to the law relative to representation among the States. By such a scheme as suggested much difficulty would be avoided, and all that inconvenience felt by travelling Ame ricans because of the absence of the titles overcome. For it Is well known that to such an aristocracy as we sug gest all Europe would bow. We hope the idea originated by the visiting New Yorkers will become national,' and a lofty, aristocratic, taronial edifice erected on the slight corner stone furnished by the wealthy New York politicians. New Court Itooms. Tub meeting of the legal profession held yes terday in token of respect to the memory of Judge Thompson, was the largest ever con vened in this city upon any similar occasion. Besides the manifestation of admiration for the virtues of the ' deceased, two important questions were spoken of by persons familiar with the matter. One was that the business of the Court was entirely too extensive for three judges to attend to, and the other that the apartments in which the sessions of the courts are held are so small and badly venti lated, that it is cruelty to judges, clerks, and attorneys, to force them to transact business in the foetid atmosphere. The same bench is required to hold the Common Pleas, Quarter Sessions, Orphans' and Court of Oyer and Terminer, the latter always requiring two judges, and sometimes the full Court. This is putting entirely too much labor upon three men, be they'ever so competent and industrious, and it ought to be changed. We see that a bill has been Intro duced into the Legislature to add another member to the Court, which would certainly greatly relieve the prent force. But the present limited accommodations, and the evils that flow from them, can only be remedied by the erection of new court buildings. This rfhtter has been in contemplation for some months ; and as we have now lost one valuable citizen, it is time that we look after the lives and health of the remainder of the Court. It is to be hoped that the new court buddings will be rushed through as speedily as possible. The plan is to erect spacious buildings in the rear of the room occupied by the Court of Quarter Sessions In Independence Square. From what we can learn the edifice will be not only convenient but ornamental, and, what is certainly a desideratum, will permit lawyers to attend to their cases without fear of suffo cation. We look forward with pleasure to a period when the appointments of our inns ot court will be a credit to our city, for as they at resent exist they are certainly a disgrace. The wise suggestions thrown out yesterday ought to be acted upon without unnecessary delay. TIIE DAILY EVENiNG TELEGRAPH.; PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, The racifio Railroad. ' The American people have decldod to build a great iron highway acrovs the continent. That it is needed, no one who has studlod tho interest of the world can ddubt. Years ago Colonel Benton, the earliest commendor o the project, intelligently discussed the ques tion, both In the Senate of the United States and wherever he could find an audience pre pared to listen to his argument He may be said to have been the father of the enterprise; and never did man work more faithfully to further the ends he had in view. We all re collect his theory that the Iron bond which was to follow the track of the buffalo through the Rocky Mountains, was the link which would eventually combine tho race into a common brotnerhood. In the very ,mldst of bis herculean labors he was called to his rest, but his soul-stirring words are handed dawn to after generations, and what he has sown I rapidly ripening into the harvest. The necessity for a great railway across the continent is no longer questioned. Tho im mutable laws f commerce and trade have decided this fact. The most brilliant of modern English historians has said that the day is not fur distant when Europe and Asia will clasp hands over the American Continent. The enormous metallic deposits of the great West are loudly clamoring for access to markets. The great need at present is a backbone running uninterruptedly from the Atlantic to the Pacific, with diverging lines tapping, and making productive that vast area of the country that has only been withheld from culture because it was impossi ble to transport the productions to the market. A vast agricultural and metal bearing region has just been opened under the shadows of our western mountain ranges. Gold, silver, lead, and other useful metals are found in rich abundance in nearly all our recently developed territory. California, Ne vada, Colorado, and Montana glitter with shinintr dust. Beyond all doubt the western slope of the American Continent Is the long-' lost Ophir. Its sands, arid and parched though they be, sparkle and coruscate as if clad in sunbeams. Through this vast waste the iron horse will Inevitably thunder, devour ing time and space, and putting a girdle round the earth almost as soon as the mythical "Ariel" promised to accomplish the feat. The grown man is now living who, taking his seat in the train of the Central Pennsyl vania Bailroad Company, at their depot in West Philadelphia, will find no interrup tion between that point and the Gulf of California. Meanwhile l.e will have tunnelled the Alleghanlcs, dashed by the busy trip-hammers of Pittsburg, across the grand grain-produelng regions of Ohio, In diana, and Illinois, bridging tie Father of Waters at some convenient point, dashing along the muddy torrents of the Missouri to the mouth of the Yellowstone, and thence across the vast basin between the Mississippi and the Cordilleras to "the City of the Saints," the modern Sodom awaiting the vengeance of outraged law, thence through passes watched over by eternal snows to the "Golden Gate," where the wearied tourist will drop off at the station at the foot of Kearney street, with the grand diapason of the Pacific 'chanting his song of welcome to the occidental shore. This is no dream, but simply one of the exhibitions of manifest destiny. The people have willed it, and when the energetic Yankee nation decide to do a thing, it is done. We need the road ; the nation has intimated its willingness to invest its capital in the scheme, and,, nothing is now wanting to render it an accomplished fact but the strong arm and brawny muscles of delvers and diggers and the earnest support of those in authority and the men who control the capital and influence of the country. A Reason Why the Fieedmen's Bureau Should Not be Abolished. "Wilmington, N. C, January 23. The Sampson uouui.y tjoun arresieu a netrro on the charge ot drawing a pistol on a white man, and sentenced Wm to te sola into servitude. Malor Wycker- snAM, of the Pieedmen's Bureau of this District. ordered the Court, and all the parties concerned, to be placed under arrest in this citv. "The matter will be immediately investigated." The most cogent argument that can be adduced In opposition to the discontinuance of the Freedmen's Bureau is furnished by the despatches we give above and a similar one from Raleigh, in the same State, what appeared probable two weeks since. The mere evidence of fact is much more effective than any syllogism erected upon a theory. While, therefore, Governor Wobth is assuring us that the State courts will do full justice to the blacks, and that the existence of a semi- civil, semi-military system is detrimental to the advancement of the Commonwealth, a more truthful debater than even an ex-Rebel Governor tells us that if a Stato court is will ing to sell into servitude, In direct opposition to the supreme law of the land, a negro for drawing a pistol on a white man, who may have been a ruffian maltreating hlm,then,under such a condition of society, we cannot, we dare not withdraw the Bureau, for having led their blacks from slavery unto freedom, and having induced them into the belief that, having clven them liberty, we would guarantee it to them and their posterity, it would be an act of criminal treachery did we now abandon them, inexpe rienced and helpless, at the mercy of those who look upon them only as so much capital sunk in a bad investment If there was no other reason afforded for the continued maintenance of this motley creature, half soldier and half civilian, than the one given in the brief despatch we quoted, that in itself would be enough to induce us to favor an even more vigorous system for the protection of black industry and black lives. ' The feeling in the South among the better classes is in favor of accepting Mr. Johnson's policy In good faith, and acting in accordance with the new sur roundings ; but the better class of the late Rebel States la in a most decided minority and it requires the protecting arm of ome superior power to prevent the lower division ot the social ranks attacking and overcom ing the weaker, and even more ignorant race, whose servitude has led them to expect a blow, and receive it in meek silence. IIon. Edoab Cowan. Certain Journals In .various parte of the fctate have taken occasion, in their discussion relative to the United States feenatorsblp, which will be vacant In 1807, to make some reflections on the conduct of the present occupant of tho Senatorial, chair, the Hon. Edgar Cowan. While it Is not our purpose to defend all of the actions of Mr. Cowan during his term of office, yet at the same time we must give him praise tor the honest, manly, and conscientious course pur sued by him while at Washington. He has not been very tra' tablo In party harness, and has several times merited the rebukes of those who bold that a caucus action is omnipo tent ; but to those who admire a sincere and honest legislator, a Senator whose own con scientious opinions have formed his conduct, and who has never been swerved from his path of duty, the course of tho Senator from tho Keystone Stato has received the warmest admiration. lie is a man after President Johnson's own heart, one who follows the lino of policy marked out by his own, and not by the sentiments of others. While, therefore, as a party man he has not been a paragon of obedience, yet, as a conscientious legislator, he commands our respect We bear this tribute to his excellence because his honor has been impugned by certain opposition journals, as well as by a number of our New York radi cal contemporaries. Let each man have his due, but because a man breaks certain party restrictions do not deprive him of the credit of a conscientious course of action. The becknt and only report of tho Com mittee on Reconstruction, which was made on Monday, is an amendment to the Constitu tion providing that "Representative and direct taxei shall be ap portioned among the several btntes which may lie included wuliin tins Union, according to the w hole number of persons in each State, ex cludiiic Indians i.ot taxed: provided, that when ever the elective franchise frhall bo denied or abridged in any State on account of color, all iersous of such race or color shall be excluded lrom the bat is of rcpresenlaviou." The design of th!s amendment Is to compel the Southern States to admit their negro popu lation to the ballot-box, under the penalty of losing a large portion of their representatives. Tho arguments in favor of such an action we gave at length in this journal last week. The principal reason why its passage is the most legal and thorough way of teaching a fraud from which Congress is debarred by the Consti tution, may be briefly summpd up. It leaves the question entirely to the States. It legalizes representation. It sustains the doctrine of taxation being apportioned to representation, and holds forth an inducement to the States to extend to the blacks the right of suffrage. Of its passage by Congress there can be but little doubt, while it is not'at all probable that the States will refuse tp adopt it It is a simple act of justice, not to the blacks, for the privilege of suffrage as a right thoy can not claim, but to tho Northern mechanic, whose vote has heretofore been of but half the value of that of a Southern dirt-eater. The Home of IIenby Clay. Ashland, the home of the "Great Pacificator," has passed out of the hands of the descendants, and will hereafter belong to the State of Ken tucky, as the site of an Agrlcul tural School During the Rebellion the heirs of Henry, Ci.ay disgraced the memory of their sire, by an active sympathy with the very treason that the father spent his life in battling. The old homestead, one of the finest estates in Kentucky, should be public property, as it was the scene of the domestic felicity, and the repository of the bones , of one of the greatest men our country has produced. If his elo quent voice could have been heard before the first gun was fired at Sumter, we believe that our great carnage would have been avoided, and thousands of graves unfilled.

Tomorrow a religious service of the movt im pressive character will take place at Trinity Church, Rev. Charles E. Swope, reotor, on Sixth street, it being the occasion of the consecration of the Rev. John Ban-alt Kerfoot D. D., Presi dent of Trinity Collecre, and first Bishop Of the newly erected Diocese of rittsburfir. Dr. Kerfoot was nominated to this high office by the Protestant Episoopal Convention which met in this city last December, and the Home of Iiu-hops, Rieht Rev. John Henry Hopkins, D. D., L. L. l Bishop of Vermont, presided, and the Rev. L. P. W. Balch, D. D.. of Newport, R. I., and Rev. Theodore A. Hopkins, of Burlineton, Vermont, Secretaries, unanimously coaflrmed the choice. Hp is esteemed as a worthy Christian Rt-nileman and scholar, and nnturailv there is manifested a great interest to witness the solemn sen lees to take place to-morrow. This will be the first time .in tho history of this citv that a prelate of so distinguished a rank fcball have been consecrated to ofticf. The arranEemcnts lor the solemn and impres sive service have been completed and only awolt beincc put into practical use. Trinity Church has been selected lor the honor of hiv ing the ceremony take place within its venera ble walls, and lrom tho old tower to-morroT mornine, will be runs fur the first time tho "isisnop bell," which was huiifr in Itsplacoon j HI on ouy.

Among the latter will be the Rev. Morgan Dlx, D. P., rector of Trinity Church, New York city, the wealthiest Episcopal congregation in the United States. Dr. Dix is a eon of Maior-Goneral John A. Dix, of New York. The musical part ol the services will torm an appropriate and attractive feature. The choir will be composed entirely of boys, and in the chanting and the airs, tu'ey have shown nt the rehearsals a perlcct familiarity wilh the music; and their voicps blending with the utino.-t har mony, give substantial token that this part of the service will be ot the most Interesting char acter. The interior of the church, though with out special ornamentation, will present u chasto and elecant appearance. The I'residing bishop. the Right Rev. Dr. Hopkins, will occupy the seat wrhinthe chancel as the Consecrating Bishop. The Bishop elect, Right Rev. Dr. Kerfoo', will be seated betcen tno l'resoyiers, and the clergy, who are to assist in the 'services of the day, will be Beaied either within the chancel or in reserved setits In the body of tho church. The vestments of the Bishop-elect will be pliiocd, probably, at the foot of the cbanccl. The flow ing robes ol the clerey and tho rich attire of the Bishops and the solemn grandeur of the occa sion, will render the scene, perhaps, the most impressive that shall ever have been witnessed in this city. The service will open with a volun tary, and alter th'e fine tones of the organ have diPd away, the regular service as per Book of Com raon Prayer; the opening ieutences, the prayers to the venite ecullem us, the absolution, etc., will be observed. Always beautiful and Impressive a is the ser vice ol "the Episcopal Church, it will doubtless seem to be more so than ever on this occasun. The psalms lor the day, the reponsory verses, the Scriptural lessons, the Litany, and the triumphant strains of the choir and orgau com bined, will follow iu regular order. The sermon will then be delivered. At its close the conse cration will take place. The Presiding Bishop, Dr. Hopkins, will approach tho Bishop elect, who will be conducted by two members of the House of Bishops before the Consecrating Bishop. The testimonial of his election will then be read, also, the formal consent of ths House of Bishops to the consecration. The promise of conformity presented with all the other ceremonies in the forms of the Church will then be assented to by the Bishop elect. The litany and sullerages having been said, the consecrating Bishop will proceed with the cus tomary forms of consecration, the Bishop elect's robes, cassock, and rochet being placed upon Dr. Kerfoot, who will kneel before the oonsecrator. while the ususl services in tkls connection will be observed. The solemn prayer of consecra tion having been said, the imposing ceremony of the laying on of hands will follow. The Bible will then be delivered, and with it the prescribed address by the consecrator. Dr. Kerfoot will then rise from his knees the duly consecrated Bishop of the Dioceee of Pittsburg the Right Reverend Dr. Kertoot. The Holv Eucharist will then bo celebrated the elements being consecrated and first admin istered to the Bishops. This will close the con secration services. The House of Bishops of the United States, to which Mr. Kerfoot has been elected, numbers forty-two, including the Missionary Bishops. It is the highest authority in the Episcopal Church on all subjects when its religion is concerned, and lrom its acts there is no appeal. The ordi nation to-morrow will be quite an event in the history of the Episcopal Church in Pittsburg, and the elevation of Dr. Kertoot to the dignity of Bishop will eive additional character to the Eniscoracv in this section.
