Oir the first day of tue present session of the
8tte Legislature a bill n Introduce!
providing for the if.lmstlon of foes and

TbU, it will be uotliiml, Inoludea all of the

Official power. At th present time, it is cur- !
rently stated, and ou g t authority, that the
following are the buuh rvneived from fees by
the offioera above nauie-i:
District Attorney .... W, 000
Clerk of Quarter Sessions . . IK.000
Sheriff 36,000
Coronet 15,000
All of the receipts from these offloes above the
first-named sums shall ha declared forfeited to

other words, the section of the law whioU his
Just paaaed the Snv ill save to Philadel
phia an annual amiuut uf at least $80,000. To
exaotly the extent of th amount saved will
the hardens of taxation be reduced. In addi
tion to the present olfio-i, whioh are thus dis
posed of, there reamu o'hers, to which the
seoond section of the aot h u p plies the standard of
remuneration. The Reoirt-r of Deeds, Register
of Wllla, Clerk of Orphan' Court, Prothouo
tary of District Court, Pn lnnotary of Court
of Common Pleas, aai Clerk of Quarter Ses
sions, in addition to all tbe taxes they now
pay, are required to piy to the city annually
one-fourth of all the fees received by them
over 2000. Now tn reason of the difference
between the mode of pnyment of the two
classes of officers is clear. The first section
applies to those only who reosiva their fees
from the city treasury. The second
receive their fe themselves directly
from the parties. As the Clerk of Quarter
Sessions falls under both the classes, he is
plaoed in both of them. The fees of all the
officers of the eecond class are much lighter
than those of the first, aud as they are for
services aotually rendered, it Is probably only
just that they should retain one-half, for it is
about that amount which is dedactod for
taxes. In order that no chance fof
deception be allowed, it is nude the duty of
the offioers in question to file with the City
Controller an exact statement of all the fees
reoeived, and swear by affidavit to the correct
ness of the acoount, and the aot especially
makes false swearing liable to prosooution fur
perjury. By another provision the act is not
to take effeot until the expiration of the terms
Of eaoh of the present incumbents.
Of the Justice and eminent propriety of
snoh a law there can be no division of opinion.
The absurdity of permitting the Clerk of
Quarter Sessions to recWeV$18,060 for his
duties is self-evident. That he should get
more than the combined judges of the court
in whioh he is Clerk is ridiculous. The
people have long demauded this change on
both the ground of reason and economy. The
saving of tht 8 $80,000 to the oity is in reality
thededuotion from the tax rate of just that
amounii and a consequent relief to that ex
tent of the sum saved. Nor have the present
offioers any cause of complaint. The bill
delays the commencement of its effeot until
their terms have expired. Had it been other
wise it might have been said that it was a
mere partisan measure; that as the other
gentlemen had lost the control of the places
in question, that therefore they favored
cutting off the fees. There can be no charge
of partisanship now urged against the
bill. It is a reform, not a party devioe. We
have so often and so urgently argued in favor
of just suoh a law, that there can be no doubt
of our position now. It is called for by every
one except the flock of hungry oormorants
who hang around Fifth and Chesnut, and hope
in the future to secure the spoils thus out off.
It will meet with the universal support of all
men who are not politicians per ie. Of oourse,
all such will denounce it; for are not they
well defined as "inu wi'hout any visible
means of support?" aud are not the crumbs of
these offices one of the iu visible means which
keeps them from the AlmahoueeT But all
tight-tbiatdng men oowujend the effort. We
urge upon the ILjubx of Representatives a
hearty assent to the action of the Senate, for
it ia olear to all that to defeat the bill is to
legislate against the people, and openly and
directly In favor of th political "ring."
Tbe Pcuniy"'i Ktllroal.
Thk annual report of the Pennsylvania IUll-
ioad Company gives a graphio picture of won
derful progress and prosperity. While the
reoelpU ef many otlur railways in 18GS, as
compared with 1 8t7, declined, the receipts of
ita main line Increased nearly nine hundred
thousand dollars, while its gross earnings ex-
oeeded seventeen millions, and it net earning
amount to 15,372,513, a sum equivalent to a
six per cent, dividend on a capital etook
three times as large as the stook of the Penn
sylvania Railroad.
There is great significance, in this connec
tion, in the paragraph of the report whlnu
announces that the assets of the company,
'exolusive of its own road, invested for the
protection aud enlargement of its traffic, are
now, at a reasonable valuation, more thaa
Bufllcient to meet the whole indebtedness of
the company, except the Are per cent, bonis
held by the State of Pennsylvania, which are
being paid by a contribution from the net
revenue of the company in Beml-aauul pay
ments of $50,0u0 each." It is thus clearly
shown that tli road, with all Its appurte
nances, is unquestionably the property of tlie
stockholders. Ualik m tny other larg cor
porations, it has a heavy b.mled inlMeiue-s
to provide for; and its QaanoUl operations are
conducted on a sound cash baiis.
Tbe branch roadj it has built or purchased,
which in the aggregate are soarcely less valu
able than the main line, are nearly all self
sustaining, and several have proved suffi
ciently profitable to compensate for the lojsea
incurred in working the Philadelphia aud lire.
The present management have ever kept
puce with the progress of the age, and the
vaiions projects of great importance which
are prosecuted at this time indicate that thy
will not be outstripped hereafter in the nuver
ceasing warfare of iivl railway interests.
The call for a new stock subscription of
twenty-five per cent., to be used mainly iu
equipping the great new thoroughfare to the
West, indicates that the Pennsylvania Raid
is about to ensure, and lorever maintaio.
beyond all contingencies, superior connections
with every leading Western city, and espe
cially Bt. Louis, Louisville, and Chicago.
It is a noticeable feature of the recent
acnual meeting of the company that no
minority report, and lo motion for the ap
pointment of a committee of investigation
was made by our good-natured friend of the
Fifth ward. Ills opposition had become so
much a matter of course that the proceedings
teem quite tame without a demonstration of
hostility. It is to be hoped that he will put
in an appearance at the next meeting.
Tlte I'nbRU IiiHiirrecllou.
The censorship exercised over the press and
telegraph at Havana prevents us from getting
any definite and reliable information about
the situation of affairs in Cuba. What can bd
gathered from the imperfect despatches and
rumors is that the insurrection is making
rapid headway, and that the Spanish authori
ties are being overpowered. The whole course
of Spain towards Cuba, during the reign of
Isabella II, was such as to excite dissension;
aud after the revolution iu Spain was
a thing accomplished, General Lsrsundi was so
ill-advised as to refuse to reoognize the right
of the Cubans to participate in the benefits of
that movement. The result was that a strug
gle for independence was begun, aud the
insurrection had gaiaed suoh headway that
General Dnlce was unable to stem its progress
when he. assumed tbe Captain-Generalship.
Bis proffered conciliatory measures were iu
reality scarcely less rigorous than the
despotism ef his predeccseor, and the
icFurgtnts refused to aocept any
terniB bnt a total abrogation of the Spanish
authority and the acknowledgment ef their
independence. Cuba, however, is too rich a
yth.i to be allowed to pass away from Spain
without a struggle, and Duloe has therefore
determined upon more energetic measures.
Thus far his sucoess has been small, and the
insurgents are apparently hemming him in on
every side, eo that, unless he is heavily rein
forced, he will be obliged to surrender his
authority.
The def patches published this morning give
a mass of rumors and contradictory reports,
which indicate that a terrible state of affairs
exists in Cuba. General Dnlce and his agents
are arresting wealthy and suspected men iu
all directions, and many of the inhabitants
are endeavoring to leave the country, but are
prevented from doing bo- One rumor states
that the United States Consul at Havana
having applied for pussports for naturalized
citizens, the latter were arrested, and the Consuj
was informed that the Government could not
recognize his right to apply for passports. A
later report states that a native Cuban was
released on the production of his A me do an
naturalization papers. The American Consu1
at Trinidad has abandoned his post and joined
the rebelfl, and the citizens of that place are
conEequently left without protection. It is
evident that energetic measures are needed on
the part of the United States Government to
ensure for it citizens in Cuba proper treat
ment. Not many years ago, iu the days of
tbe Ostend manifesto and tbe Lopez filibusters,
an opportunity like this for seouriog
such a prize as Cuba would not
have been allowed to slip by,
but the Insurgents would have found
their ranks reiuforod by volunteers from the
United States. Since then, however, we have
1 J an . .
uau euouga oi ngntmg, and are now con
tent to await tbe oourse of events. Our inte
reBis, nowever, no less than juatloe to
American citizens in Cuba, demand that we
should be represented there by suoh an armed
force as will make the rebels as well as the
Spaniards respec t u?, and which will clve us
an influence in the final disposition of the
island, whichever party wins in the contest
now being carried on.

of tin artist, but it Is valuable ns teu.llu to
draw him out of tho rut of conventionality,
adding a breadth to hU stylo, and enabling
him to take a more enlarced vleof hl3 art
aud itn capabilities. , j
1 bene ideas have been suggested by a visit to
the studio of Mr. Ednavd Morun, the celebrated
uiarlie painter. This gentleman has gtlued
his present proficiency by long years of ptieut
study and practice, and notv that he has
thoroughly mastered the particular line of art
which he has made a specialty, it has occurrel
to him that tho principles of p&inllnir are
simple, lu themselves easy of comprehension,
und that they can readily be acquired by almost
any one, without the same amount of tin e aud
labor that be bos bestowed u.iou them. There
Is a general Idea that it Is useless f r any one
to undertake to learn to draw or palm
who has not a special talent la that di
rection, while, la reality, drawing and
and painting Hre no moredlmonlt than music.
and any young lady who can, by.appUcMlo:!,
patience aud study, learn to play upjn tho
piano, can by the same amount of industry
learn to use the brush nod pencil with equally
satisfactory results. Nothing but first rate
talent will make a first- rate artist, but there is
no reason why drawing aud painting should
not be as common acoomplishmeots a muslo,
and there are few persous so entirely incapa
ble as not to be ante to maice reasonable pro
gress In the Hornets' art if properly intruded
at the beginning, and If they will take p tins to
Judiciously cultivate such talents as the Al
mighty has given them.
Mr. Moiau, for the purpose of putting his
theories Into prnciice. Las assembled around
blm an enthusiastic cli'.'s of students, composed
of literary rr.en, amateurs, muslclanM, aud
some of the leading actors of the city. Uis
plan Is to paint a picture In their presence,
using merely the three primary colors red,
yellow, and blue and showing what an infi
nite variety of combinations can be produced
by these simple mean. Indeed, If the throe
colors could r-e procu icd lu perfect purlty.no
otbers would be needed.
Tbe ploiure when finished Is copied by the
stndonls nud submitted to the master fjr orltl
clsm, and thon, as they acquire facility, oua by
one other colors are introduced, their value
demonstrated, aud the most complex combina
tions of tbe oolor bix shown in a clear and un
derstandable manner, Mr. Moran bus not dis
covered any royal road to learning, nor does
be profess to teach the whole art of palming lu
six easy lessons. By a simple, intelligible,
but thorough system, however, be has removed
many of tho obstacles lu the way of the be
gU ner, and tbe very rapid and remarkable
progress of his pupils is a proof of the excel
lence of bis method of Instruction.
Tbe weekly meetings of his class, too, are
something more than mere painting lessons,
for his students are artists themselves In other
lines, and the flashes of wit, the small talk, and
the gossip are not the least of the considera
tions for those who find Moran's studio attrac
tive on theseoccasioue.
The actors, in this country at least, have,
with more or less Justice, been accused of neg
lecting tbe otbe-r aria, and. In fact, there has
hitherto been loo mile intercourse bet wee a
thote who have adopted different lines of art.
In France a belter feeling prevails, and aotors,
l altittra. musicians. and poets recoeni.eacom-
m n brotherhood and au identity of Interests
hh wtll as pursuits. Mr. MoraiTs painting class
is a move towards producing the same results
litre, and tbe art-loving publlo are as much in
terested In the resnlt of his experiment as are
the artists themselvfs. Our actors will play
better for tbelr knowledge of painting,
and wo will be able to see la
our theatres some of the finish
and style lu the performances and manner of
producing pieces that make those of Paris
iho models of excellence for all the world. The
citizens of Philadelphia have been noted for
tbtlr appreciation of artlstlo merit, and it is
eratlfyirin that suoh a movement as this has
been commenced In this city, and we hope that
tbe arltHis will oontiuue their pleasant labors
In the eame entbuslaatlo spirit that they have
begun, and t hat tbelr example will be followed
in other localities.
