"The latest news from Europe reports thitt' two rival steamships the Alemannia and the Hermann will soon sturt from Southampton for Hew York. toffCther,jlth the Intention of racing across the oocan. This will no doubt be frralt lyinR to the pride of the owners of the steam ship that wins, bat travellers will And in it a warning to keep out of ve.els that Indulge In euch hazardous pastimes." TnE above paragraph' Is dipped" from a morn ing contemporary paper. We read it with regret, as every person must have done who feels any concern for human life and the in terests of ocean steam navigation. The pre meditated race between the vessels will doubtless be contested with all that mad spirit of rivalry which, for so many years, characterized similar struggles upon our Western waters, and which resulted hi so ' if bo accident shall occur in the present case, r though, if we phoull hear of the destruction of both ships, under the circumstances, we will regard it as only a natural event, fitted to ex- cite no special wonder. If, however, neithpr j steamship shall be blown up or. set on Are, the "fact will not excuse the criminal rashness of those who have planned the race, nor should : it prevent a prompt and rigorous inveatiga ' tion of the matter by the directors or owners - of the linos to which the ships belong, pro vlded they have not, as is to be hoped, sane j tioned any such trial of speed as that contem- ! , plated. .If they did not, then their officers j ' on1 Hrrnnfa aA nrnTlfo i crrrxaa orinaA st ! uva mviuw miv guuwj v wm Q v mju,w Vt authority, which ought to disentitle them to all further trust, and be punished at once by dismissal from their exceedingly responsible Charge," , ' '' ' One fcuch example of wise and righteous reprcof would go far to prevent any future trifling with the property of steamship com panies and the live 3 of passengers aboard their vessels, whereas impunity in this instance (Will probably encourage steamship racing on the ocean, and leal ultimately to the most: fearful and melancholy calamities. Before' the steamers leave port many of the men, i women, and children will have taken passage1 without any suspicion of the . peril to which they will afterwards bd exposed. But even if ill are privy andiconsenting to a precon certed arrangement tor pitiing one ship against the other in a desperate encounter of speed across the Atlantic, we yet assert that those having the management of ocean steamer lines should never allow the extreme folly of several hundred infuriated people to outweigh all considerations of humanity, the rights and security ol the general public, and the eminently important interests of com merce as involved in a safe and reliable inter course by steamships between Europe and America. We devoutly trust that the racing of steamers will never grow into a practice. The inevitable consequence would be a frightful destruction of life, while our improved means of navigation upon the great waters sepa rating the two hemispheres which is an in valuable acquisition in behalf of civilization would become a source of increased risk, anxiety, and disaster to the world. The natu ral tendency to the evil is great enough to deter all considerate and benevolent persons from doing aught to aggravate it ; and the press especially should be careful to restrain that spirit of competition which is so prone, upon the slightest provocation or excuse, to forget all the obligations and checks of dis cretion and duty. Any one who observed, a few years ago, the defiant and bantering tone in which the friends respectively of the Col lins and the Cunard lines of steamers were accustomed to exasperate each other touch ing the relative merits and powers of the rival vessels, must have feared the growth ol a perilously competitive spirit in the speed of voyages. In Mav. 1858. that very spirit led to- an occurrence which was thus narrated at the time in a telegraphic summary of the foreign news: Thelast trip of the Arago and Saxonia across the Atlantic was a neck-and-neck race. They left ii ew York at the same hour on the 1st of May, the Saxonia taking the lead . On the fourth day out the Arago passed the Saxonia, and fired two guns in triumph . A few days afterwards the Saxonia resumed the lead, firing three guns, and kept it to the end, arriving at Southampton four hours in ' advance of the Arago." When two steam ships start off from port on either side of the Atlantic for a race to the other side, with all steam crowded on, keep up the contest for wo thousand miles upon the wide and wild Ocean, excite their crews to madness by firing guns as they pass and repass each other in the terrible strife, and maintain so close a neighborhood for the whole distance as to reach port only four hours apart, we may well protest earnestly against any pro posed repetition of such reckless and atro cious trifling with human lite. H A Current Rumor. It is understood tint the position of Jam tea M. Scovaxasa member of the Union League of this city is somewhat precarious. His present political status is not altogether satisfactory to that body, and some of the membership desire his temporary suspension, until he has an oppor tunity to place himself rectus in curie. Having run the gauntlet of Legislative and Congressional opprobrium, he has now to THE DAILY EVENING TELEGJlArn.rniLADELrni EDNflSPAY.' ' V . . i i i . ' j j . . . I - " pass theWdcol of civil and social condemha-1 tion. . verily the way or too , transgressor Is hard. j .Newspaper hnterprlso. , , We are happy to observe that the New York Tribune, one of the leading journals ! of America, has celebrated the reaching of its twenty-fifth birthday by enlarging (he size of its sheet, and greatly widening its columns. Tt appears now in the shape of the larger European Journals. Yesterday evening the present and former employes ot the Tribune met around Delmonico'h festive board, and the following is a brief sketch ot the affair: Mr. Greeley occupied tho chair, and among the hotta and guests were Haruuel Sinclair, Hiduey H. Jay, Oeorge Itipley. Solon llobinson, George VV. Kiimlley, titephen T. Clarke, Trot. A. J. bchem, Frederick Crane, John IC. Young (at one time pnncipul edl'or of Hie 1'biiadolphia Press), Clurcuce Cook, Claiksou Taber, Nathan D. (Jrnor, William Winter, Tlomaa N. Hunker, and 1'atriclc O'ltotirke, ol " the present active force; and of those formcilv on tho paper were Thomiu Mcfcl rath, Oliver JoUnnon, Oeorge y. Snow, Hayard Taylor, Franklin OUcrson, Augustus Maverick. John F. Cleveland. Kobert M. BuebeUh, Isac f. Enpland, William E. Robinson, Oeorge W. Ctirtis, rrotessor E, Yo'imans, liobrt Carter, Charles E. Wilbour, Edward II. House, William Stuart, Edmund C. Stedman and several others. After the viand were disposed of, Bayard Taylor read a number of letters, among others In m Henry J. Raymond, Charles A. Dana, Charles T. CohJod, BmhiuoI Wllkeson, sua Theodore I Tilton. Mr. Cogdon made most touching allusions to the dead ot the Trtbune the late Margaret Fuller d'Otsoli, William Henry Fry and Richard ilildre'.h. - Mr. Greeley being called for, gave a very ln terestiiio' account of his early efforts in New York, up to the full establishment of the Tribune. In the course ot his remaiks Mr, Greeley eaid that the flrst man employed in tne tditorial department, after the Tribune started, vaB Mr. Henry J. Raymond, then just graduated from college. He was a zealous worker in deed, mid Mr. Greeley, ho was the only man I tetrcmber to whom" I felt impelled to say : "You are working too hard." 1 The occasion was ono of great interest, aud must have gratified the heart of Mr. Ghee- let, the veteran editor to whose incessant indubtry and acutencss the success of the Tribune is mainly due, Appropriate speeches were made by Thomas McElbatu,Ukorqk William Cobtis, Professor Ripley, and others, most of whom had been at one time connected with tho Tribune. The State Painting. The State Legislature is at present consider ing the propriety of retaining upon canvas the brave deeds of our yeomen soldiers upon the field ot Gettyburg. The revolutionary pictures of Trumbull are invaluable, and an appropriate reminiscence of our greatest battle-field will, in future years, become a shrine for the admiration of devotees. It is ; to be hoped that the -committee having the matter in charge will select artists competent; to the dischaige of their duty. It would not be much to the ornamentation of the Capitol to insert on its panels every daub that might , be foisted upon inexpert judges of fine arts. We have in Pennsylvania such ' artists as: Rothkbmel, Lewis, Boutklle, the Lamb- dins, Waugh, and Neagle, besides a host : of others who would be insoired by such a theme, and perhaps it would be no bad idea to open this subject to general competition. At any rate, if we are to have pictures, let them be in the highest style of art. It is much better to pay liberally lor such things than to have abortive efforts, of which we cannot conscientiously be proud. Official Dignity Ruffled, That col lege of savana, the Board of School Control lers, had their dignity insulted and their sense of decorum violated, yesterday, by the presentation of a petition from some three hundred pupils of the Central High School in favor of Professor Maguxre. If there is one thing intensely amusing in our republic, it is to bee a collection of ward officers act ing like a Bet of "Turveydrops in fact, as Dickens puts it, "putting on airs." Men who individually could exhibit as much dig nity, almost, as a weasel, when they sit tegether in a small room expect to be ap proached with a salaam, and treated with tho respect due to the Germanic Diet in the f eudal ages . A little knowledge is a danger ous thing, and a slight elevation, or, as in the present instance, a depression, seems to turn the head of those unaccustomed to It even to the ordinary amenities of life. Yesterday, their sense of complacent excel lence was shaken by the reading of the fol lowing petition, the tone of which is emi nently calculated to arouse those feelings of indignation at insult which lurk In every breast. The incendiary document says : "To tho President and Members of the Board of Control: We, the undersigned, at present pupils ot the Central llign Scuool ot Fiiiiaue: phla, having conildence In tho efficiency of Pro fessor N. U. Maociek, and in his ability to dis charge the full duties of his position, as he h.therto has done, convinced from,' the testi mony of others and by our own experience, ttiat at no period of its existence did tue school enjoy a bigner degree of prosperity than at the present time, and feeling that much of this is owing to the well-directed elforts ot Professor WiaciRE, and connaent tnat an impartial inves tigation will fully convince the Board and the public of these tacts, respectfully offer this as a remonstrance acaiust his removal, and petition for his continuance iu the position he bo worthily occupies." At once Mr. Nathan Hilles, tho spokes man for the insulted, offered the following resolutions, which eleven offended 'Turvey drops" supported. i "Hesolved, That the remonstrance of the boys of the Uish tichool be laid on the table, as im proper and disrespectiul, aud taat the Commit tee on that School be directed to communicate this resolution to the boys, with a note of repri mand lor tnoir uuuue unerierence with tne duties ol this Hoard." We can imagine the teelings of the boys upon receiving the reprimand from the re' spected five who are supposed to rule, but whose duty has been to hamper the advance ment of the school. This respectful, gentle. maDly petition was ''improper and disrespect ful." Wo have never read a document more properly worded, and so far as Interfering with the duties of the Board are concerned we would almost as leave trust Division A with the control of our school system as we would tho virtuously, indignant college which returns the petition with indignation and scorn. Probably they think that the disci pline ol the Bcbool will bo perfected by in sulting the boys and reprimanding them. Their ideals to use the cane, to cruh the spirit of the American youths, and not t3 gev era the temper bv gentle yet positive restraint So ar as the impropriety of the actloij is concerned, we are only too glad that we have the views of the pupils on tho question, We leave it to any candid reader whether it is riot more likely that those who for years have been diicctly under Mr. Maooirk's control, and have become thoroughly conversant with his system, are not better Judges than a set or men who never were inside the school but half-a-dozen times in their lives, aLd many o them not that often P We piefer to take tho views of the boys, and not of the Board. But it matters not whether Mr. Maocibk is fitted for his position or not, so far as the behavior of the Controllers Is concerned. They acted like petulant schoolboys, and ex hibited a littleness of thought which makes the respectful petition of the pupils appear most proper by the contrast with these children of larger growth. Fob Speaker of the Senate, Hon. L. W. Hall. The caucus of State Senators of the Union party nominated yesterday for Speaker of the Senate for 1807 the lion. L, W. II all, member from Blair connty. Mr, LTaxl Is about thirty-eight jears of sge, hai a thorough knowledge of Parliamentary law is a radical Republican, and has a self-posses sion perfectly immovable. He was, if we are not mistaken, Speaker on a previous occasion, lie is eminently fitted by long experience for the post. Tho importance of the position can not be over-estimated. In case of the death of the Governor, Mr. Hall would succeed to that chair, and occupy It until the end ot the year. He has been for many years an active working as well as a speaking member of the Senate; is highly conversant with all the intricacies of committees, and is identified, with all the interests of our Commonwealth. Of course, his nomination is equivalent to an election, and wo can only congratulate our readers upon having a thorough Unionist, an accomplished Parliamentarian, and able Pennsylvanian in tho second office of our State. : FINANCE AND COMMERCE Office o thb Evening Telegraph, Wednesday, April 11, 18U6.
