FRIDAY, DUC EMBER 4, 1868.
, The Senatorship.
Thh withdrawal of one of the most prominent
candidates for United States Senator has
materially changed the aspect of the Senatorial
anrasa, and great uncertainty prevails la
regard to the aotion of the canons of the Re
publican members of the Legislature. As
they are comparatively jintrammelled by pri
Yata pledges and committals, they will have
fcn excellent opportunity of selecting a
man of high character and commanding
talents, and they would render their consti
tuents a substantial service if they made all
jninor considerations subordinate to the great
ni of electing a Senator capable of worthily
lepresenting the Commonwealth and defend
ing her Interests with a potential voice. There
Is no laok of talent among the Republicans of
the State. An abundance of men could easily
2e found within her boundaries who
are the intellectual peers of the
leaiing spirits of the nation, and the difficulty
In making a selection arises mainly from the
trouble of discovering an aspirant who nuites
the requisite qualifications with acceptability
to antagonistic factions and to the Individual
members of the Legislature. It is a misfor
tune that the interests and wishes of the peo
ple are too often neglected or disregarded in
these oonteBts. . The legislators eleoted to
represent the State at Uarrisburg are apt to
forget that they are acting for a great constitu
ency, in their anxiety to choose a Senator J
Who will become the subservient friend of his
auous supporters. If, however, they subor
dinate their personal interests to the general
Welfare, they can easily enable the citizens of
Fennsylvania to point to their future Senators
trith as much pride as Kentucky felt in Clay,
r as Massachusetts feels in Sumner and Wil
ton, or Ohio in Sue r man and Wade, or Indi
ana in Morton. It is by no means necessary, and
it is scarcely desirable, that the Legislature
Should be confined in its choice to the men
who are mo3t clamorous for the coveted prize.
The excessive anxiety of any particular indi
vidual to obtain so important an offioe id no
proof of his fitness, and it furnishes no valid
reason for the triumph of any aspirant.
Neither are the alleged claims based
on seotional theories of material importance.
According to the system of choosing Senators
alternately from the eastern and western por
tions of the State, the west has perhaps the
best title to the new Senator, and there wil1
be a vigorous effort made to sustain these
pretensions by Mr. Moorhead or Mr. Marshal1
of Allegheny jcounty. But if sectiona
claims alone were to be considered, Philadel
phia might plead with irresistible force against
the long-continued exclusion of her citizens
from this important position. What is most
Heeded is a Senator who can in all respects
worthily represent the Republicans of the
State, and it is a matter of comparative indif
ference what city or county may be his pre
sent residence.
We have no disposition to urge the claims
of any particular aspirant, and it is unfortu
nate that few persons who really deserve Sena
torial honors have yet been publicly advo
cated. One of the greatest embarrassments o'
the Legislators will arise from the importuni
ties of the friends of mediocre candidates. It
requires little knowledge of the men and the
interests of Fennsylvania to discern that
Galusha A. Grow, for instance, wis by no
means the best man the Republican party can
teleot, and yet be is being pressed with an
earnestness for which there is no apparent
justification. He had ample opportunities to
distinguish himself, as a series of fortunate
aooidents gave him a much longer career in
Congress than is usually allotted to the Repre
sentatives of this State; but we have been un
able to discover aBy evidenoa of
bis transcendent genius or of his spa
tial fitness for the Senatorship. If by any
anexpeoted political complication he should
beoome the favorite of the Senatorial canons,
We hope be will at least satisfy the Legislature
that be has not imbibed from his political in
structor, Mr. Wilmot, any of the free trade
theories for which that gentleman was for
merly famous. Fennsylvania could scarcely
commit a graver mistake than to seleot a Sena
tor who is hostile or indifferent to the diversi
fied industrial interests of the Com
monwealth. Wilmot was the only
Representative in Congress in IS 1 J
from Fennsylvania who voted for the repeal
Of the tariff of 1842, and there is a school of
New York Republicans who are at this mo
ment ardently advocating free trade. We are
by no means sure that Mr. Grow would an
tagonize these enemies of Pennsylvania in
terests with any great degree of seal. The
State should secure not only a Senator of con
summate ability, but ene who is as sincerely
devoted to protection as to the principles
. enunoiated in the Republican platform.
The Hoard of Commissioners.
The Committee 6d City Property yesterday
presented to Councils an Cjdinance providing
for the appointment of a number1 of gentlemen
as a Board Of Commissioners to lapCJllitend
the ereotion of certain publio buildings. The"
ordinanoa appoints on the Board William
Adamson, William F. MIskey, James Page,
Alexander J. Harper, John MaCarthy, John
Bobbins, George Day, together with the Mayor,
' ' Seleot and Common Counoils,
4 SurYejor, Boiler. In
spector, and the Commissioner of City Tre
perty. The bill also provides that the Com
missioners shall advertise within two weeks
of the passage of the ordinaace for plans for
the same, and that the buildings shall be
erected upon Independence Square, fronting
on Walnut street.
It was passed by the Common Connoil,
after a debate, in the form originally introduced,
with the exception of authority being given
to the Commission to take down all the other
bnildings in Independence Squre exoept the
old Hall. The movement thus made by our
City Fathers is one that will meet with the
universal commendation of our oitizens. It
has long been a subjeot ef wonder and oause
of regret to the thinking class of residents, how
any great municipality oould not only disgraoe
herself with such unsightly piles, but en
danger the record! by keping them in such
insecure depo3its. We have before now
commented on the danger of keep
ing the records of the most im
portant proceedings of our city
records whioh involve the title to real estate,
and, in some cases, the title to one's own
liberty In suoh shells of buildings, whioh it
would require but a matoh to utterly destroy.
Thus, the Register of Wills has a miserable
room in the "Row," and in it are filed the
originals of all the wills and the inventory of
the estate of the deceased. Half an hour'
conflagration, or a third of that time under the
firemen's care, would utterly obliterate all
these records and oause a flaw in every title to
real estate whioh comes by desoent. It would
do away with the oheoks on administrators
and exeoutors whioh the inventory holds over
them, and leave orphans and widows without
protection. This is but one olass of oases.
The judgments of all the oourts are in the
same preoarious condition, and, until recently,
the reoords of the Oyer and Terminer and o(
the Quarter Sessions were Just as unsafe. It
is cause for some gratitude that the Recorder
of Deeds has of late years been plaoed in a
building which does not rival a wood-pile in its
combustibility. Now, when the new build
ings are erected we can have these invalu
able records deposited in a fire-proof struoture,
and the nightly risk will at last eease. Now,
again, the expense of renting the various neces
sary offices is great, amounting, it is said, to
$20,000. This will be saved. Independence
Square is eminently the proper place for these
edifices. It is central, it is near the United
States Courts, it is near the Custom House,
Post Office, and all the national offices. Be
sidep, it is in such a condition, through the
walks across it and the meetings held in it,
that it is anything but an -ornament to the
city. If the wings to the old Hall be torn
down, we will see that venerable building as
it was a hundred years ago, and it will improve
the square between Fifth and Sixth streets
immeasurably. We favor strongly the plan
and scope of the Commission.
An Example to be Followed.
Tub infirmities of great men are always
brought to light when these heroio individuals
go before the people for endorsement. Yet,
in nine cases out of ten, the disclosure is the
result of an indiscreet use of the tongue or
pen. When General Harrison was a candi
date for the Presidency, he became such a pro
lific epistle writer that his friends were at
last obliged to suppress him, but not before
he had done the Whig eause infinite
damage by bis indiscretions. General Soott,
whose vanity was one of his most prominent
characteristics, greatly diminished his Presi
dential prospects by its ontoroppings in the
lugubrious speeches which he made; and Ste
phen A. Douglas was guilty of the same politi.
cal felo d in his Presidential-seeking peram
bulations. The most notable instance of recent
date in this country was the unseemly ex
hibition which Horatio Seymour made,
during the last fortnight of the late
campaign, of those very qualities for which
General Dix arraigned him in the famous
Paris letter of September 4. General Grant
pursued directly the opposite course, smoking
his cigar in silence and keeping bis infirmities
to himself, with very happy results. Just at
present our British cousins are lamenting this
tendency of human nature to spread itself out
so thin that all the world may see through it.
Mr. Gladstone, the leader ef the Liberal
party and the future Premier of
Great Britain, was so impressed
with a sense of his own importance
that be conld not resist the inclination to give
the pnblio a few chapters from his autobio
graphy, in the hope of influencing the Parlia
mentary eleotions. He succeeded, but in the
opposite direction from that intended, and we
are informed that on all sides this publication
at the present time is deemed exceedingly in
judicious, and has served to alienate many of
his former friends. Let all future aspirants
for high official positions keep these lessons in
mind, and, like General Grant, smoke a great
deal and say but little.
A RacooNmoir. The Albany correspondent
of the New York World, in detailing the pro
ceedings of the Eleotoral College of New York
on Wednesday, states that the College "had
the good sense to recognize the services of
New Yerk city" by the appointment of a per
son from that eity to aot as messenger to deli
ver the record of the vote to the President of
the Senate at Washington. We regard this
aotion ef the New York Eleotoral College as a
handsome tribute to the New York city Demo
cracy, as appropriate and well deserved as it
was affecting. It was only by the perpetra
tion of the most outrageous frauds in the oity
that the vote of the State was given to Seymour
and Blair by the round majority of 10,000." If
so fraudulent votes bad been reoelved and
counted by the unterrified Democrats who
manipulated the ballot-boxes In that city, the
electoral vote of the State would have been
cast for Grant and Colfax by a majority of at
least 15,000. Under theBe circumstances, the
aotion of the college in jeoognizlng the ser-
tJou" of the city Democracy, was an aot of
simple Justioe, the omission of which would
hve displayed a scandalous deficiency in the
sentiment of gratitude. If the votes of the
benefit citizens of Pennsylvania had been
rendered null in the same manner, by the
gross fraud which were perpetrated in this
oity, doubtless the College of this State would
have displayed the same amount of "go id
sense" by delegating a Fourth ward Demo
crat to go to Washington.
"Tan Skcondof Dhokmbrr" was the seven
teenth anniversary of the coup d'Slat whioh
placed the Nephew of his Unole oq his Uuole's
throne. The day, we are informed by the
Atlantlo oable, was appropriately observed in
Paris. Napoleon's gendarmes anticipated a
manifestation at the grave of the martyred
Baudin, in the Montmartre Cemetery, and
they prepared for the emergenoy. Great
crowds of people assembled near the ceme
tery, in mute tribute to the heroio devotion of
Baudin. There was no noise, no disturbance,
no outward manifestation of the deep feeling
whioh is now moving the whole of France.
The police took bold of the dilemma by both
horns, and dispersed the multitude, whioh
retired sullenly, a few only of the more obsti
nate being so unmindful of the peril iuto
which they were rushing as to court an arrest.
One of the Paris journals we are not given
the name of tbe daring sheet subjected its
entire issue to seizure by appearing with a
black border around eaoh page. In this way
passed the anniversary of the ctup d'ttat.
But the quiet episodes whioh we have nar
rated serve to indicate the sentiments of the
great mass of the French people. Napoleon
sits upon the crater of a political Vesuvius.
The premonitory symptoms of an outbreak are
not lacking. The great convulsion cannot be
much longer delayed, and when it comes the
ruin will be terrific
"Conscience does make cowards of us all,"
exclaimed the melancholy Prince of Denmark.
We regret exceedingly that we cannot fully
endorse the sentiment. A statement comes
from Washington that the "conscience money'
paid into the United States Treasury during
the past fiscal year amounted to $49,000
only that and nothing more. What a beg
garly item is thi, when compared to the
enormous sums which were fraudulently ex
trec'.td from the Treasury in one way and
another daring the same period I If every
cent belonging to the Government, and now
withheld from it by racially olfijials and con
scienceless contractors, were added to this
fund, it would turn a hundred millions hand
somely. For the shameless abuses and un
bouided extravagance which have marked the
administration of our Government ever since
Andrew Jackson devised the rotation system,
there is but one practioal remedy, aul that is
the establishment by Congress of an efficient
and honest Civil Service. Every nation of
Europe which makes any pretensions has
such a system in operation, and incompetency
and fraud are there almost unknown. Con
gress should take up this subject at its ap
proaching session, and give it serious con
sideration. THE FINK Alt IS.
Uasrltliie's Art Eniporinm.
The artUtlo reputation of Fiiiladelphla la, to
a certain extent, at stake in the success of the
new Art Emporium just opened at No. 1125
Chesnut street by Mr. Charles K. Haseltlne
There are several establishments of this kind
In IN ew York, but we doubt whether any of
them can make a finer display of first-class
works of art than that which has Just been
opened in this city. Mr. Haseltlne Is an ama.
teur and connoisseur of long experience; art Is
with him a passion; and his taste and Judgment
will be guarantees of the excellence of the
works he will offer to the publio.
The exhibition rooms of the new establish
ment consist of three galleries, tbe walls of
whioh are hung with pictures by the most cele
brated living artists, American and European.
Tbe collection la superior to any that has been
exhibited In this city since the Sanitary Fair,
and it la a rare pleasure to stroll through the
rooms adorned with so many works which bear
upon them the marks of undlsputaWo excel
lence. A tiny Melsonlcr of almost fabulous value
and a fine ttosa Bonhens enhance the attrao.
tlons of Mr. Uaselllne's opening. Tbe figure
of tbe Cavalier,; by the first-named artist, lis
painted with all the richness of color and in
telligent elaboration which make hla pictures
worth many times their weight In gold. The
present work Is dated 1808, and, with the excep
tion of one contributed to the Sanitary Fair.
Is the only specimen of this master that has
ever been exhibited In Philadelphia. Rosa
Bonheur's sheep and goats are In her best man
mer. These pictures will shortly be removed,
but they will probably remain on exhibition
to-day and to-morrow,
"Bpring" and "Autumn," by G. Brlon, the
artist who took the grand prise of the Halon Of
1868, are interesting specimens of refined French
art. These are the only works of this painter
that have ever been shown here.
Among the works which will attract the at
tention of connoisseurs, we may mention the
following: "Innocence," byCbamplln, a lovely
head and bust; "Italian Landscape," by E, C
Post; "The Dying Soldier," by Belle; "A Russian
Bcene," representing several horses under a
shed shivering with the cold. This Is an admi
rable picture. "The Broken Vow," by Beran
ger. There is fine character and expression In
tbe figures of tbe deserted damsel and her
comforter. A comical looking monk, paus
ing In his task of sweeping out the
cloister to take a pinch of snuff, and a couple
of soldiers Bitting on a flight of stone steps, by
Vlblrt, are admirable; Alma Tadema's "Pom
pelan Interior" la pre Raphaelitlsh In Us
minuteness of detail, and a pair of other
Pompelan subjects by Coomana and Kim.
merer, representing girls feeding birds, are
tine in drawing and execution. Bonguereau'a
'Arcadia" Is a Daphnls and Chloe of the true
pastoral type. There are a good number o
other works of equal Importance with those we
have mentioned, but they cannot be seen and
digested In an hour, and we will be obliged to
defer critical reference to another time,
Mr. Haseltlne Intends to make his establish
ment a complete art emporium , where every
thing conneoled with the fine arts can be pro
cured, from a ploture valued at thousands Of
dollars to a tube of paint, and the superb
array of pictures with whioh he has com
menced bis enterprise premises well for the
manner In which It will be carried on.
