WEDNESDAY, MAY , The Confession of Pfobst. If TnonHT had died persisting In his story of an accomplice In the murder of the Dkah Ingk, the theory that he had no confederate in the crime would have prevailed In the pub lic mind; and yet there U a solid satisfaction in having all doubt on that subject com pletely removed by his confession. Even the faintest apprehension that an undetected murderer was abroad in the land would not have been a pleasant tiling for any on'! to walk the streets or do down at night with, while there is something consolatory in the reflection that, whenever a great crime is committed, justice has overtaken all who were concerned in Its perpetration. Probst says that before he killed Couxk i,iun Cakey, who was his first victim, the bare thought of his design appalled him. lie raised the axe thrice betore he could strike. And yet we have bis own admission, th?t alter he had taken the life of that poor boy, who was his companion in want and toil, he felt a sudden th rst for blood, and could have slaughtered a hundred more without com punction. This is all natural enough. In these cases the difficulty lies in the first step, j As "Lady Macbeth" says : j "TIip attempt, and not tbe deed, contoimiw But when the instinctive antipathy to mur der, implanted in almost every human breast, is once overcome by motives strong enough to conquer it, and the gulf that divides inno cence from guilt is passed at a leap, there i would seem to be an instant transformation of a creature with moral sensibilities and hu mane sympathies into a demon with none. It is, perhaps, seldom that any one becomes a consummate criminal at once. Growth in 1 crime is usually very gradual, the commission of a small offense leading naturally to the next in magnitude, until at last, by a process ! of hardening demoralization, more or less slow, the transgressor is Carried forward to the utmost extreme of depravation and guilt j But il Pkobst is t j be believed, ha cnt, j through no such progression in iniquity, but , reached the highest limit of crime at a single j bound. But this is not altogether true ; for ' he has revealed enough of his antecedents to 1 show that he did not become utterly bad at ! once, though the strides he took in crime were j but few and wide apart, lie declares that he j had done no wrong before coming to this country in 18G3. Immedia'ely afterwards, however, he became a deserter and bounty jumper, which included lying and robbery, and having passed these grades in his down ward descent in sin, intemperance and de bauchery, and a reckless profligacy in the use of money wrongly obtained, were quite sutll- cient to entirely corrupt and debase a moral character not naturally good and a meital organization not strong enough to resist the mpulses of a sensual and wicked dis position. Is or is it hard to reconcile the revulsion from the first homicide with j the prompt perpetration of the whole eight in the frightful scries of murders. Moral cowardice broke down at once with moral repugnance to the greatest ol crimes. The nitial act in tl.e tragedy, in point of atrocity and responsibility, included all the succeed ing acts ; and with a sense of overwhelming guilt came, oi course, a fee'ing of despera- tion. Hence, ue wno can persuade nimseft to commit one murder may etsily fancy that, under certain circumstances, the com mission of a dozen or more might improve V ! Al.AnAa f ninnno wrViUn Tint oaaonfioll TT I increasing bis criminality. Tims Pkobst may have reasoned, if be reasoned at all, and so thinking, he probably said to himsolt : "I am in blood Stepped in so far, that, should I wade no more, Rettirninti were as tedious as go o'er." There is another feature in his case that is rather curious. ' If, as he says, ha shrunk so much from the bare idea of the murders, how marvellously strange must seem the match less coolness of his conduct immediately after he bad tailed the whole Dearino family! Besides searching the bousa for money and other valuables, putting them up in a carpet bag, to be carried away, he tells us that he '"shaved himself with Mr. Deauing's razor, washed and dressed himself, put Mr. Dearino's clothes on, and then ate some bread and butter." Here, truly, wad a most remarkable exhibition of composure under conditions the most appalling, and yet it is not more amazing or inexplicable than is the apparent inconsistency of the demoniacal malice that murdered eight human beings and then quietly enjoyed a supper in the very chambers ol the slaughtered family, with the thoughtfulness that cared in the last moment for the wants of horses and chickens, if that, indeed, can be traced to any lincering senti ment ot human pity, rather than to some less worthy motive. Ontl"! whole, this case of Antoine Probst is certain'y extraordinary in many respects, and will, no doubt, be ranked in criminal an nate among tlu. causes celebres. The death-watrant for the execution of Pbobst was receded yesterday from the Governor of the Stau, which appoints the eighth of June next for carrying into effect the sentence of the la-v. It was read to the doomed man this morning n his cell by Sl.eriff IIenxv, c. IIowelt., la the presence of our reporter an(i several other attaches of the prsss, and will be found printed In full in another page of this edition of Tue Evening Telegraph. Pkobst, during the solemn ceremony, is aid to have exhibited the same Btod indifference to his fate which marked his demeanor during the whole course of his trial, and we shall not be surprised to see him go to the scaffold with the apathy oi brute. TIIK DAILY KVKNIKG TKLKGIiAI'II. I'llIIAPKU'lllA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 0, 18CG. A New Academy of Tine Arts. Tiikrk is nothing to prevent Philadelphia securing for herself the place of the 4merlcan Athens. Boston, by long years of literary culture, has excelled us In the art of author ship. New York, by her enterprise and wealth, has left us in the commercial back ground. But there yet remains a Oeld which is still pre-eminently our own. In the world of art we still stand foremost. There is no other c'ty w hich can boast of such amateur operas as Mr. Pkbem.i has given us. There Is no other city with nn Academy of Music which could do so much towards aiding the progress of music In our land; and there should be no other city which could compe te with us lor beauty in our Academy of Pine Arts, and for excellence of paintings. Hie unanimity with which the press has condemned the collection of works now on exhibition, as a whole, must have torn the scales from the directors' eyps, and convinced them, if they were never convinced before, that there existed some radical detect which m eded correction. During the last ten jears the general public have taken a vast stride towards the ability to correctly appreciate works of art and judge tor themselves. A Philadelphia assembly such as dal!v fills the Acade my contains a larger proportion ot criti cal amateurs, than probably any other body of similar number,Mravvn from the same diver sified society, in tho world. It has, therefore, become a matter of necessity, as well as pro priety, that the exhibition presented should be such as to merit examination. '1 he question now presents itself Will the eaders ol the World of Art take active steps towards finding a remedy lor the present evil, or will they by supine negligence allow the taste now possessed by so many to die out, and leave the people uninterested spectators of that in which they once were enthusiastic ? What is necessary at the present time is a new Academy, a new building, better adapted to the wants of the spectators, and in which jus tice can be done to a greater number of artists. The present Academy, built years ago, was modelled a'ter the best rules of architecture as they thn existed, but vast strides have been made since; and the fact that the gallery at the Sanitary Fair, tempo rary and slight as it was, was a better room for liuht and hanging than the venerable institution in Chesnut street, is an evidence of what improvement In a new building might be made. All that the directors need do is to throw themselves on the liberality of the public, and the stock necessary would be sub scribed to with a rapidity which would surprise themselves. We can feel the popular pulse and are sure that it beats high in favor of making Philadelphia more pre-eminently the art-centre of America than she is to-day. Let the experiment be tried, and before many moie yeius have passed there will be heard commendation where now condemnation is uttered. The erection of a new hall will stimulate our native artists to greater exertions, and also call from abroad contributions more numerous and of greater excellence than heretofore exhibited to us. In fact, a power ful impetus would be universally given to all the artists of our land; and if we could but excite the emulation of our resident painters, they could make the exhibition rich without the aid of outside contributions. We have gentlemen in our city who need not be afraid to measure swords, or rather brushes, with the residents of any other municipality in the land. With this material in their hands, and the abundant foieign aid which will always flow to help those who help themselves, there need be no fear on the part of the Directors that the largest and best building they could erect would ever be too large for the contributions sent in. The demand will always create a supply, and if it were known that the walls ol a new and improved building were bare, there would flow in Irom all quarters works of art to cover them with genius. Let them, there tore, step out boldly from the beaten track, have a m w building, better accommodations, and a larger, newer, and finer collection of paintings, and the next five years will see a mighty advancement in the artistic scale of Philadelphia excellence. If they neglect, the results ot their refusal must rest upon them selves. They are all centlemen of wealth and energy, public-spirited citizens, and we doubt not that they will see that the needed im provements are made. The Unjust Demands of the Ilebel Statics lor Superior Power. We cannot too often call the attention of the voters of this State to the issue of equalizing the basis of Con-rrcsslonal representation, as a condition precedent to the admission of the Rebel communities as States into the Union. It should be constantly kept in mind that the d mand of these recent Rebels, and of their Northern allies, is that they shall come back into the Union, not as equals, but as superiors; not wielding the same power as that wielded by the same number of voters In the loyal States, but a vastly greater power, so that, man lor man, each late Rebel shall count for nearly twice as much in influence upon all national questions as a loyal man, so that in the House ol Representatives and in the elec tion of a President he shall have two votes to the loyal man's one. How monstrous tbis demand is will be apparent from the con. slderatlon ot a tew figures, which we here with present: The total vote cast in I860 in the eleven Rebel States was only 8(57,024. They could not poll as many now within a hundred thousand; but we will let that pass. The two States of New York and Pennsyl vania cast at the last Presidential election 1,303,428 votes, or 430,404 more votes than the eleven Rebel States combined. New York and Pennsylvania have four Senators ; the Rebel States will have twenty-two j i New York and Peoasylyauia have fljly-jlve memlif rs of Congress; tho Rebel States will have sijty-two f But even this does not fully show tin! glaring Injustice of the case. Each Rebel Congressman will leprescnt only 1-1,000 voters; each Pennsylvania or New York Congressman reoreMeuts 25,010 voters. At the rale upon which th? Itebids will be represented, Pennsylvania and Now York ought to have ninety t'irce Congressmen instead of only fifty-live But after the ap portionment ol 170, unless the basis of representation shall h ive been eq lalized, the Rebel States will hive a still more unjust advantage, for they will have, added to their basis of reprejeutatio;i two-fifths of all the colored population of tin South. This is the desirable entertainment to which, under the names of justice and mercy and mag nanimity, the voters of i'e:r.nylvan'a are invited. Heist n Clymku is the ch iinpion of this scheme for robbinjr the citizens of Pennsylvania of their just rights, that 8"o rior jtou er may be given to Rebels.
