FROM WASHINGTON.
Exempted from Tax.
Washington, January 8. The louse passed
tho Senate bill exempting naval machinery for
the Government from the Internal revenue tax,
with an amendment providing that the tax
which had accrued prior to April 1, 1868, shall
not be Included. When the House went into
Committee of the Whole on the
Military Academy Appropriation Bill,
General Logan began a speech against what P
known as Jenckeo' Civil Service bill. He regard
tbe bill as wrong In principle, and opposed to
the genius of our institutions. He regarded the
mauner In which the bill had been received by
the people and press as an alarming Indication
of a tendency to establish an aristocracy of office
holdeis.

Hammond, wholesale dry goods dealer, failed
heie lo-day. Liabilities not stated.
Foreign Items.
The Prussian senators have not seen the
end of their troubles yet. Their cry for re
trenchment has been visited upon them with
humorous vengeance. When the Rhenish
members presented themselves the other day
at the Bureau to obtain, as is customary iu
that simple-minded country where it is the
candidate and not the voter who is compen
sated, their travelling expenses, they received
to their amazement one thaler less than they
had paid. On their remonstrance the clerk
politely pointed out to them that since the
fast session certain branch lines had been
opened by which they might have saved Just
three shillings. It was useless for the sena
tors to plead that they had not used these
new lines because they never heard of them,
and, indeed, they were not quite open to
traffic. The M. P.'s paid, bat their grumbles
are loud and continuous.
The sculptures from Halicarnassus,
which, on their arrival in London, were de
posited in temporary sheds erected tor their
reception outside the British. Meseum, are now
in process of removal to the interior, and will
be disposed of in the Egyptian, Elgin, and
Roman galleries. In the Roman gallery an
additional shelf has been provided for a num
ber of ancient busts, and the walls are colored
to a higher shade of red, adapted to give effect
to the marbles. A statue of Hadrian, from
Cyrene, of great antiquity, is also placed in
this gallery. Borne very interesting statues
from the recently-acquired Farnese collection
have been arranged in the Egyptian saloon;
the bassi relievi, and detached friezes, together
with a f gure of Mercury and the ancient oopy
of the famous Diadermenos, are now exhibited
in the different sculpture galleries.
J be Russian uovernment has deoided
npon assisting the starving Finns by sending
them out bodily to colonize tne Amoor regions.
An old German vessel has been bought for
this purpose at the prioe of 30,000 roubles,
and the emigrants will be carried by instal
ments from Bremen. Everyman is to receive,
on his arrival, two hundred aores of ground,
free of taxes, for twenty-four years, together
with, the necessary implements, cattle, eto.
This stock, as well aB the expenses of the
Journey, is to be repaid in eight years' time,
by instalments, to commence alter tne lourtn
year. The lour-ana-twenty years over, tne
colonist will be called upon to pay a tax for
his land, at the moderate rate of twenty-four
roubles annually. It is said that tbe Finns
are very grateful, and that both they and
Russia are likely to prom greatly by this
colonization.
The statement issued on behalf of Mr.
Peabody's trustees appears to dispose com
pletely of the complaints concerning the ad
ministration of the fund, for in the lir&t plaoe
an account is given of the occupations of per
sons in possession of the buildings already
erected, and in the next it is shown that these
tenants receive low wages and pay a very
moderate sum as rent. It was Mr. Peabody's
own design to assist the industrious poor, not
to do the work of parochial authorities by
attempting to deal with actual pauperism.
The poor, as he believed, suffer many dis
advantages from not having comfortable and
decent homes, and to the supply of this
speoial want he wished his fund to be devoted.
When three excellent rooms can be naa tree
of rates and taxes for 5s. a week, with baths,
washing-rooms, and laundries in the house
for the use of tenants, it 1b obvious to us all
how much reason there was in the charge that
the fund was being turned into a "commercial
speculation." It is quite evident that tne
complainants wrote, as many people like to
write, without ta King me irouiue to acquire
proper information beforehand.
iUtnere naa ueen any aouui as to tne cur
rent of popular opinion in France on the sub
ject of capital punishment, it would be set at
rest by the conclusion ot tue trial ei tne Mar
seilles prisoners. It is clear that there is no
crime so horrible, no murder so crueiana das
tardly, but that the discriminating eye of a
French jury can discover in it the extenuating
circumstances which save the perpetrator
from the guillotine, ibere never was a case
more surely proved than that against the man
Joye. He had not only supplied the poison
which had enabled two of tbe wives to kill
their husbands, but had aotually persuaded'
one of them to commit the deed. From be
ginning to end there ia no shadow of excuse
tor him. lie murdered for TZ7t Jet vms
wretch is sentenced not to death, nor even to
penal servitude for life, but only for twenty
yeaig. Mdmes. Vale, Uabriel, and fanny
Lamlerte are let off with the same punish
ment, ealvago leing condemned for lite. As
to Flayol and Marie Dye, they, aa might be
expected, escaped scot free. Joye htmseii ap
pears to have thought that in his instance tue
proverbial laxity of a Frenoh jury would give
way, for whilst in prison he tried to oommu
suicide in three different ways. This was just
the instance where death inllloted by justice
would have the deterrent efleot which man
kind has always ascribed to it.
There is no new thing unaer tne sun.
Tbe velocipede mania which is now at its
height in France was very violent in
England fifty years ago. A coiorea engraving
published by Ackerman in February, lbllt,
shows the "Pedestrian Hobbyhorse, now exhl-
biting at 377 Strand, Mr. Johnson, patentee,
75 Long-Acre." It is identical with the two
wheeled velocipede now to be seen all over
Paris (where it has penetrated to the stage in
liop-o'-vw-l humb, at the AtLGnte), except
that it was worked not by treadles attached
to one of the wheels, but by putting the feet
to the ground on eauh side, juBt as the present
French velocipede has to be started. The de
scription given on the engraving says:
Tbla machine U of the moiit simple kind,
supported by two light wheels running on the
me line; tbe front wheel tarnlngon pivot
which, by meant of a short lever, fives the
direction In turning to one side or tbe other,
the hlDd wheels always running In one direc
tion. Tbe rider mounts 11 aud seats himself ia
a tsddle conveniently fixed on the back of the
hore (if allowed to be culled so) and placed in
tlie middle between the wheels; the reel are
placed flat on the ground, so that In the first
step to give tbe machine motion, the heel
should be the part of the foot to touch the
ground, and so on with tbe other foot alter
ustely, as If walking on the heels, observing
always to begin tbe movement very gently. In
tbe front, before the rider, is plsoed acuiblou
to rest the arms on while tbe hands hold the
lever which gives direction to the machine, as
aloo to balance it if lnclliiing to either aide
wben the opposite arm Is pressed on the
oushlon.
As was the custom of the day, a cloud of
colored caricatures at once appeared, the
legend beneath one of which, published by
Tegg, representing a raoe between a horse
and the velocipede, carries the origin of the
machine further back. "This famous hobby
horse was bred in Germany; after winning
everything there, was shipped for Long-aore."
Another, published by John Hudson, of
Cbeapside, is a fierce veteran mounted on a
velocipede, which is called "The Dandy
Charger." One of Tegg's shows Richard III
offering his kingdom for a horse, and Sir
William Catesby, instead ot replying, "vvun
draw, my lord, I'll help you to ahorse," says,
"My liege, here's a swift hobby will convey
you from the field as fast as your legs will
permit you." The following weak lines appear
on another of 'J egg's engravings:
You have heard of old Pegasnsrlylng, nodonbt,
but our Hobbles now bea' blin, good lack,
For when you are tired of riding about,
lou may carry your noise on your uacK.
Curiously enough, these rhymes have
almost an exaot counterpart in "Le Petit
l'oncet," where the aotor who enters on the
velooipede makes his exit carrying it over his
shoulder.
It is evident, from a letter of Mr. R. Con-
ingsby, says the Pall Mall Gazette, that the
workingmen are not in any way responsible
for the insult lately levelled at Mr. Reverdy
Johnson. As we have believed all along, not
withstanding the very positive contradictions
put forward, "the middle-class advisers" of
the working men have contrived to cast this
reproach npon their name. The Reform
League did not put a stop to the dinner in its
official capaoity; but the leaders of the Leaarue
did, prompted by their invariable desire to
associate their names with everything in
which the workingmen are taking a part.
According to Mr. Coningsby'a statement, the
person w ho is chiefly responsible, as far as
puuiio acts were concerned, for most un
worthy treatment of the American Minister is
Mr. Reales, that well-tried and judicious
friend of the workingman. He thrust himself
into the affair apparently with a predeter
mined purpose to bring it to confusion; but
behind Mr. lieales were "the well-meaning
men who, without the possibility of publicity,
direct the tremendous power ef the trade
unions." It is probably not difficult to iden
tify the "gentlemen who are in the habit of
giving private advice" to workingmen. Their
temper too clearly betrays them. One can
harcuy fall to recognize the little knot of ex
treme politicians who use their influence with
the working classes to gratify their personal
predilections and disseminate their sour
fanaticism. The wonder is that the work
ingmen themselves do not understand
and resent this dictation and "back stairs
interference." Ars they not able to form
an opinion of their own npon a
point of common civility? Must they
go to Mr. iieaies for guidance r Mr. Coningsby
maxes a nau-pameiio lament over the influ
ence of M. Ceales and the other "private ad
visers." He would have withdrawn from the
whole affair at once, but thought it better to
remain to the end, in order get the message
conveyed to Mr. Johnson by men who might
be trusted "not to shake their fists in his
face." He explains, however, that he and
his friends were perfectly able to carry out
the projected dinner to Mr. Johnson, but
"were not able to ensure him against pos
sible annoyance from some of the gentlemen
who meet weekly to deoide upon the policy of
Great Britain. Perhaps Mr. Reverdy John
son may recall certain influences iu his own
country which may render Beale's quite
intelligible. Future American ministers will
be very careful how they have to deal with
English workingmen.

The Glrard Trnst In the United Ntaten
Nnprcme Conrt.
Madeline Henrlette Ulrard et al. vs. The City
of 1'hllndelphta. This Is a case brouicht before
Ibe Uniud Slates Supreme Court lu the etty
of Washington, on an appeal from a decision
In one of the suits brought by the heirs of Ste
phen Glrsrd against tbe City of Philadelphia,
to recover the property devised to the city by
Ulrard. Tbe result In Vidal'a salt agnlOHl
Olrard'a executors, reported Id 2d Howard's
Keports, decided conclusively that the trusts
under the will for tbe college and other
cbaritsble objects were valid, bat the heirs
dow contend that tbe bequests for municipal
purpotes are Incapable of execution in
consequence of tbe passHgo In 1851 of tbe
Act consolidating tbe old City and the Dint riots.
Tbe will provides that the remainder of the
residue of the testator's personal estate shall be
invested as a permanent fund, the income of
whleb shall be applied first to tbe further im
provement and maintenance of the College for
Orphans; second, to enable the city of Phila
delphia to provide a more efficient police, and
third, to Improve the city property and the
general appearance of the city, and to diminish
tbe burden of taxation upon those least able to
bear it. Tbe heirs contend that U'rard's wishes
extended only to the improvement of the old
city vIe: the two square miles from Houth to
N ine and from tbe Delaware lo the Hohuyitclil,
as it existed at the date of bis will, and not to
tbe consolidated municipality of i:(0 square
miles created by the aot of the Legislature of
1851.
As the execution of the trust is, as alleged.
Impracticable for l be improvement of tbe eon
tolldated city, it la asserted that the fund re
verts lo the heirs. It is claimed that the inoorae
derived from the estate beyond the wants of the
Ulrard College amounts to SH 5,000, and the
heirs insist that tbia sum shall be ratably dis
tributed annually among the heirs.
The case has been taken up on appeal from a
decree of Judge Urler dismissing the bill in
equity filled by tbe heirs In tbe United Htates
Circuit Court. In the opinion delivered Judgo
Urler says that the effect of tbe Consolidation
net Is not that which tbe bill alleges, and even
if it were, the consequences assumed to flow
Irom it are not legitimate. The objects ol
Uirard'a charity remain the same while tne
city, large or small, exists. Whatever the fears
of the complainants may beas to the moral
ability of the corporation, there is no necessary
inability which prohibits it from administering
tbe charity as faithfully as It could before its
Increase. If the trust be not rightly ad
ministered, tbe courts will compel
proper execution upon the oomDlaint
of the sovereign power, the Legislature, or of
ine nenenoiaries. iMowinero is no complaint
that the charity Is not properly administered,
and It does not appear that there now is, or
ever will be, any residue to apply to the second
ary object (the prosperity of the city, eto.) If
that time should ever arrive, the question
whether the charity shall be so applied as to
bave tbe "eff eet to diminish the burden of taxa
tion" on all the corporation, or only those
within the former boundaries of the city, will
bave to be decided. In tbe meantime the heirs
at law of the testator have no concern in the
matter, or any right to interfere by a bill in
equity.
Argument In tbe case by Mr, Ingersoll on be
half of the appellants Is still in progress.
