Carroll Brewster deli vered In the Common Pleas one of the most important decisions which has been made from the Bench of Philadelphia for many months. It embraced a full and exceedingly exhaustive Series of authorities, and may be considered as eettliDg the law of the State in regard to the administration of charitable trusts. The oity of Philadelphia, aoting as trustee under the will of Stephen Girard, applied to the Court of Common Pleas for permission to lease certain ooal lands in Schuylkill county for a term of fifteen years. Under the will there was an express condition that none of the real estate left by Mr. Girard should be leased for a. lnntrnr meriod than fwe years. The clause of the will reads, "So far as regards his real estate in Pennsylvania in trust, tb.it no part i thereof shall ever be sold or alienated by the gaid mayor, aldermen, and citizens of Phila delphia, but the same shall forever thereafter be let from time to time, to good tenants at yearly or other rents, and upon leases, not exceeding five years." Experience has shown that it was impossible to induce any tenants to take these mines on such a Bhort lease. It was evident that there oonld be no possible profit result from the establishment of large improvements on these lands, at the lessee's expense, if the term could not be extended beyond five year?, llence the city petitions the Court for leave to lease the lands for three times the length specified by the testator. Judge Brewster in deoiding the question, evinced a nioety of legal discrimination, a profundity of research, and a wide-spread knowledge of English law, which fully comes up to the high expectation formed of him by his friends on his accession to the bench. The opinion is exceedingly able and conclusive. It not only abounds in law precedents, but it con forms entirely to the dictates of common sense. The Judge granted the petition, and authorized the leases as prayed for. In doing so, he ex amined the case in two lights. Had the Court the right to digress so widely from the express Will ef a testator, and had the necessity for Buoh an exercise of its right, supposing it possessed, it, now arisen ? In answering the first question, the learned Judge goes back to the days of the Stuarts, and cites precedents which cover over two hundred year3. In the history of Great Britain's jurisprudence, he finds many cases in which the expressed wish of the testa tor was Becured by deviating from his ex pressed directions as to the manner of carry ing it out. lie states that the directions of the will are three-fold: Tirst. To keep these mines "constantly rented." Seoond. To let them "from time to time to good tenants at yearly or other rents." Third. "Upon leases in possession not ex ceeding five years." It is found impossible to lease them for fi re years, and the question arises, as the Judge well puts it, "whether it is better that a mem ber of this testament die than that the whole body of the trust perish." That it has been the custom of British jurists to go far out of he way of the direction of a will in order that a charity might be successfully oarried out, is clearly shown. In one case a devise merely said that it was to "assist the poor." The Court directed it to be applied to the support of forty poor boys. Another ease, so late as 1863, involved the disposition of 1000 to charitable uses. The Court named Christ's Hospital as the donee. In 1785 a legacy Was left to establish a Bishopric in America. Although there was no probability of suoh a consummation, the bequest was held good. Probably the case involving the largest sum was that of Ann Carn, who left 50,000 to aid clergymen with large families and who were poor, provided her exeoutor thought proper. The executor died before the testatrix; yet the bequest was held to be good. These are but a few of the cases cited, the whole of them fol lowing the general doctrine of Sir Rio hard Pepper Arden, who said that a charitable be quest cannot be defeated by the negligenoe or default of the person to administer it, or by the "impossibility to give effeot to every cir cumstance." If the mode beoomes impossible, the general ebject, if attainable, shall not be defeated." To this doctrines, so wise and at onoe so con sonant with justice and common sense, Judge Brewster gives his decided approbation. lie looks at the end designed by the testator, and adapts the means to secure its accomplish merit. He therefore grants the petition to the city. The ability and thorough researoh evinced by his decision may be considered as Settling the law in Pennsylvania. We must congratulate the people on the adoption and judicial recognition of a dootrine whioh is the only one consistent with reason. It sweeps away the mass of technicalities which are so Often clustered arouna a charitable bequest, and does much to make the will of the dead at onoe practicable and consistent with his ex pressed wishes. On Thursday morning, July H5, the last remnants of the Paris Exhibition of 1807 were carted away, and in the course of the day the ground was given up te the authorities. Not a trace now remains of the vast building or its surronndintrs, which attracted go much at,tn Uuu year ago, and tint Cuauiy u wars Hsuxucd It. old desolate aspevt. The War of Factions ia Maryland. A biukipicaht war of factions is now progress ing in Maryland. The Democratic party of that State, like their politioal associates further South, favored the Rebellion from the outset, and did all in tb-ir power to seonre the pas sage of a secession ordinance. They would probably have been suooessful if General McClellan had not arrested their treasonable State Legislators, an offense for whioh he was never fully forgiven by the ultra Demooratio Rebels. A small portion of the Demooraoy, and a considerable number of Conservatives, subsequently united with the Republicans in opposing the Rebellion the bulk of the De mocracy continuing to render active aid and comfort to the Confederacy. A Union party, composed of the material indioated, oarried the Etate politically during the war against the treason-loving Democracy, partly because the latter had sent forth a large portion of its foroes to join the Rebel army. After Andrew Johnson quarrelled with the Republican party a num ber of the so-called conservatives and more patriotio Democrats united with the bulk of the Demooraoy in opposing Republicanism, calling their organization a Demooratio Con servative party, and securing its triumph by the strength of their peculiar alliance. Tin Demooracy, elated by the victories thus ob tained, have recently determined that their conservative and patriotic associates must occupy subordinate positions in the Seymour and Blair party, and that no men whs did not fully sympathize with the Rebellion in all iU phases, shall be elected or appointed to promi nent positions. In accordance with this policy the re election of Reverdy Johnson a3 United States Senator was prevented, and the best offices in Maryland have been given to men who fought for the Confederacy. The con servatives have at last grown restive under this treatment, particularly as it ia openly justified and advocated by the leading Democratio organ of the State, and as they are plainly informed that their aspirations to leadership will be crushed, and that they must be con tent with the dignity of serving as hewers of wood and drawers of water to their rampant Rebel associates. What will be the final result of this factional fight remains to be seen, but it can scarcely fail to strengthen the Republi can party of the State, and to ad a. o Dish voters in all sections of the Union that alliances with the Democratic party can only ba perpetuated on condition that the rebellious elements of that organization shall possess an absolute ascendency. The sympathy between Demo cracy, as it has been preached and practiced dniing the last twenty years, and the doctrines which precipitated the Rebellion, is so com plete, that for all practical purposes they are identical; and, instead of learning wisdom by experience, the oracles of that party adhere to their old principles with unyielding tenacity their attachment to the remaining vebtiges of the old pro-slavery regime being unabated. Tub Fdneral ok Mr. Stevkss. To-day the remains of Thaddens Stevens were consigned to their last resting-place, followed by a mul titude of his fellow-citizens. From all portions of the State came the throng to do him honor. Philadelphians were well represented at the grave of the "great Commoner." Her Mayor and City Councils, a committee of the Union League, a oommittee of fifty of the Republican Invinoibles, a committee of the Banneker Insti tute, a deputation of the School Boards, and a vast crowd of private citizens. The soene cannot fail to be impressive and solemn. They are well calculated to excite the young of Pennsylvania to rival and imitate the dauntless courage, with the energy and indomitable will of Mr. Stevens. To-day the last of his mortality is hidden from the publio view, but his deeds live atter him. Ilia reconstruction measures and his great championship of Com mon Schools cannot die. So long as eduoation and equal rights are held dear, so long will we be enabled to say, "he being dead yet speaketh." Patti'8 Marriage. Aud so our little Patti, as we used to call her, has married a nobleman, has she ? Why not f Noblemen are plenty, good soprani and tenorl very scarce. "Madam, the salary you de mand," said a Russian Emperor to the great Catalan!, "is more than the salary of one of my Field Marshals 1" "Hum !" said the fair singer, "perhaps your Majesty can easily make Field Marshals, but where will you get another Catalan! ?" As to marrying noblomen, did not the fair Anastasia Robinson marry one of the boldest, most chivalrous of men in truth, his history is more interesting than many a novel the eccentric Earl of Peter borough? And Lavinia Fenton, did she not catch the Duke of Bolton ? Her performance in a piece that would not take nowadays The Beggar's Opera her singing of "Oh, Ponder well" completely bewitched that nobleman. So did the famous Miss Paton marry Lord William Lenox. This lady, so well known afterwards in this country as Mrs. Wood, was the best "Amina" in Sonnambula that ever appeared in this oountry. We wish we had time to speak of her achievements, 'especially of her "Norma." Then, did not Henrietta Sontag become the wife of Count Rossi ? lovely, ill-fated genius, to die in Mexico after delighting the most fastidious audiences in every part of the civilized world. If that is not enough of singers marrying noblemen we will throw in one more. The piquante Marietta Piccolomini, like our Patti, took a Marquis; his name is Gaetani. If we wished to rake up old scandals we might allude to the fondness of the first Emperor Napoleon for the lovely GraBBlni; or how the late Lord Melbourne, onoe Prime Minister of England, fought a duel with M. de Melcy, the former husband of Glulia i Grihl. But our readers will peroelve that we have no liking for that sort of thing I What a world of delightful recollection djji t!u iaira recital of theue names awakea I We hare Dot heard all the singers above enumerated, but we have heard Mrs. Wood, Jenny Llnd, Sontag, and Oriel. Without trying to remember many more, there is one who, in the galaxy, must not be overlooked. All who had the pleasure of listening to the late charming, and in some rare characters the almost, as we were going to say, unequalled Angiolina Boslo, will agree with ns in believing that a long time may elapse before another will aptar qualified to take her place. We do not believe the musical world was ever so startled since the death of Mali bran as when it was announced that she was dead. She died in St. Petersburg in 1859, after having created a sensation in Paris and London, puch as wan seldom witnessed. Like Adelina Patti, she first succeeded in this ooun try, for it was only after her return from Ame rica that she succeeded in winning her proul position on the American stage. As lovers of song, as sons of the soil on which the fair Patti's first triumphs were won, we most heartily rejoloe both at her sucoess pecuniarily and, we may hope, matrimonially, for not having heard of her husband except as being attached to the French Court, we must hope that it will prove as happy as bo consummate an artist deeerves to be. A WAsniNOTOK Telkoh am announces that the United States Government will soon establish a protectorate over Mexico, receiving in ex change for the privilege of controlling that country a cession of territory already owned by American speculators, for whioh, it is pro bable, a good round sum would be demanded. This ia one of the many schemes devised ti plunder the treasury, and to increase the heavy burdens imposed upon the people. Practically it would benefit only the venV politicians of the two countries, and lead to unnecessary and expensive complications. It will be infinitely more profitable for the nation to expend its energies in developing the varied resources of the vast expanse of territory it now possesses than to seek extension of boun daries at this period. Opportunity will never be wanting when we really need more land, to make the necessary acquisitions, but now the prime necessity is to improve the districts already partially occupied, and to reduce ex penditures to the lowest possible staudard. Mr. Stevens' Generosity. There is au in" clderjt of the late Tnaddeus Stevens, whloU first appeared In a biography of him In Tub Evening Telkqrapii on Wednesday last, and which has been widely copied into many of our exchanges. The anecdote o tiled forth a number of oommnnlcHtlonp, some of which we publlehed. So far the facts of the case, though substantially correctly stated, are not exact. We give them as they were told ns by the gen tleman who, of all others, is best qualified to know the precise truth. After Mr. Stevens' speech In favor of the school bill, t here appeared a little peem in a country paper, highly eulo gistic of his course, and which was without flat tery and of great literary ability. Judge Ellis Lewis, a personal friend, though a political opponent ot Mr. Stevens, oame acrojs a copy of It, and showed it to Mr. Stevens. That gentle man expressed great pleasure and never inti mated to the Judge but that be then saw It for the first time. "What shall 1 do for her?" asked Mr. Stevens; "I don't know her." "(Jive her a book or a farm," said the Judge, laughing, "Well," said Mr. Stevens, "she don't want si book, but she may want a farm. Judge, find her out and buy her one Draw on me for the money." "What Is the limit?" asked the Judge. "Nothing at all, so that she gets what she wants," replied Mr. Stevens. Judge Lewis, full of the milk of human kindness, sought the lady out, and found that she was living on a farm which had been sold to satisfy ajndgmentagalnst her husband, a worthless sort of a customer and that she wonld be turned out of her home In a month. The farm. had been bought by Judge Anson V. Parsons, then a practising lawyer. On finding the lady Judge Lewis dis covered for the first time, that Mr. Stevens had already sent her 8100. Tbe Judge told the lady to write to Mr. Parsons, and tell him her oondl' tlon, and he, tbe Judge, wonld call and see him. Sbe did as dlreoted, and when Judge Lewis called, the lawyer, moved by the note Just re ceived, professed his willingness to sell back tbe farm If the judgment of his client would be paid off. Judge Lewis drew up the deed In the office, had it signed, and gave a draft on Mr. Stevens for the money. It was duly honered. Years afterwards, Judge Lewis found the lady In indi gent circumstances, In Wlsoousln, and out Of his own good feeling and warm heart, pur chased some land there, and gave her a life estate on it, to prevent It being sacrificed by her hubband. As she is now dead, it has re verted to him. These little Incidents, hidden for years, show the eminent generosity of Mr. Stevens, and of his brother In good feeling, if not In political lite, Judge Ellis Lewis. CRIME. D.sp.rate Fight wltto a Burglar. The Louisville (Ky.) Courier ot Saturday lst eajs: A defperate fight occurred on Second street yesterday morniug, between four policemen and a burglar whom they were endeavoring to secure. It seems that as Lieutenant R. Priest, of the Third District Police, in company with Detective Jack Oallaeher, aud Policemen Joseph Batman aud Pat McGrath, were leaving the First street station, bavins gone off duty, they discovered a auspicious looking individual sitting at the back door of a Grocery ou Second street, near the corner of Green. Supposing him to be drunk, Gallagher walked up to him and began to make the usual inquiries, and the fellow not giving a satisfactory pnswer, the officer proceeded to arrest him. To the astonishment ot the otlicers, tbe man suddenly jumped to bis feet and struck Oallaeher down: but (iallaeher was up again in au iustaut, and this time tbe stranger went to tbe earth. Getting pp, however, he let iato Gal lagher with a vim. and Lieutenant Priest and tno two other policemen came to (Jullugher's assist ance. A terrible struggle now ensued. The man fought with the ferocity of a tiger, aud seemed posheueed of the strength of half a dozen ordluary men. Pulling, jerking, and striking alternately, he fought with toe lury of despair, and had evl uVutly made up his mind to surrender his lite rather thn his liberty. The officers, however, proved too much for hlra, and he was soon secured, though he came out of the fierht a liigbtlul object to loot upon, his clothes being toru to tatters and stained with blood iroru bis bruises. He was quickly hustled oil' to the sta tion bouse, where lie gave bis name as William Waireu. On bis person were found twenty dol lars, two fine gold watches, and a silver watch. The money and one of the watches were identi fied as property stolen from the house ot Charles Myers, ou Hroadway, near Eighteenth street, which had been broken into the night beioro. Another of the watches wai Identified as belong, ingto Oran Itawson, a merchuuton Main street, and ws also burelarv booty.

A Piot sued mm Arrest. A cftrreoondeut of the Buffalo Krpre, writ ing from Hornesvllle, sav:-The recent confla gration which consumed so large a portion of the buildings on Main street, has been traced to a very curious cause. A young mn (ot tbe fat order, of course.) became somewhat involved In bis business. He had a stock of goods in a rented store, and so he went to a latter for srtvice a very safe place of resort This "mem ber ol tbe bar," true to th iiu'lnct of his pro fession, gave the much needed counel. But how unlike the ' regular practlc" Id character. He hinted that if the storo would only by some fortunate accident take fire and burn down, his client would then be hble to ee. his insurance money, pay bis debts, an I rave bl repntaMon. This was all. Of course it was a "clear case." Iu a very sbott time from this the terrible con flagration occurred, and it was fount to have orieirated in the store of the lawyer's client. Buflicient evidences of e-trlt Imve come to liaht to indlrHte a plot, aud the lawyer and h1 unfor tunate client are in jail awaiting examination. Another Tyng is to be a clergyman.
