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. The HoiiBeot Bishops will be re pre
ferred by the following prelates: Right Rev.
John Henry Hopkins, D.D., LL.D., Bishop of
Vermont; Right Rev. William Bacon Stevens,
D.D., B'shop of Pennsylvania: Right Rev. Ho
ratio Potter, D.D . LL.D., Bishop of New York;
Ri9ht Rev. John Williams, D.D., Bishop of Con
necticut; Right Rev. Thomas March C)rk,
D.D., Bishop of Rhode island: Right Rev. Ar
ihi:r Cleveland Coxe, D.D., Bishop of Western
isew lork; ltipht Kev. (. harlcs Petut Mcllvaine,
D.D.. D.C.L.. Bishop of Ohio: Riiiht Key. Ure-
pory lhursion Bedell, D.D., Assistant Bishop of
Ohio, and others.
It Is also expected that the Right Rev. Thomas
Nettleship Stanley, D. D., Bishop ol Honolulu.
win do present on tno occasion, xne clergy will
be represented in ereat lorco. all the rectors be
longing to the new diocese will be present, and
several from distant parts of the country.
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.
ApropoK, on Monday four splendid bells were
raised in the tower of Trinity Church of the
