Boms weeks ago General Grant, In reply to eager questioners, who expressed great anxiety la regard to his Cabinet, qnietlj remarked that there need be no uneasiness on that soore, for if he should happen to make a mistake it would be a very easy matter to rectify it, and that he would remove his own appointees as readily as those of his predeoessor, if the publio Interests requ!red such action. Few persons could have then supposed that this remark would be illustrated by the im portant reorganization whioh Las ooonrred iu the very first week of the new administration. White few office-holders die and none resign, this remark often applies with peculiar foroe to Cabinet ministers. Witness the wonderful 'anaoity with whit-h Seward olung to the offloe . f Secretary of Suie under all the exciting changes of Lincoln's administration as well as 'ha varying moods of Andrew Johnson, from jv3ge hostility to traitors to loving sympatky r the very worst of the Rebels I Witne3S, r o, the adhesiveness with which Welles fas t led, as close as a barnaole, to the Navy Da-l.-.rtment for eight long years t The peculiar method by which the Govern ment has been administered by some Presi dents fully explains why politicians attach ..uoh Importance to the selection of a Cabinet The exeoutive functions have occasionally b- en plaotd so completely in the- oontrol of the heads of departments, that in affairs of iplomaoy, flaauce, war, or of Internal polity, , '.U more remained for the oooupant of the ''iiite Ilouse than to play the part of an unliable automaton, while seven - powerful mill titers pulled the moving wires. a there is no danger that Grant will sink i.'. -i this slough, it is a matter of comparatively It . importance who is in the Cabinet, bat the uttyhas good cause for rejoicing in the t !. ctiuns he has made. In detail they ch al io: f,v criticism, and as a whole the new ai-ini-Istratlon will command unqualified ap .roval. Despite Mr. Washburne's usefulness In Con gress, and his irresistible claims to the oonfi ilenoe of the country and the gratitude of the President, his appointment as Secretary of State was a surprise to himBelf as well as the nation. No .man had a better right to seleot bis own field of political labor, and his resig nation as Seoretary of State and appointment M Minister to France have been followed by the choioe of a very worthy and distinguished Buooeesor. Hamilton Fish is one of the best of the polished old school of American states men. His experience as a Congressman, Gov ernor, and United States Senator, combined With his training and ability as a lawyer, aud the varied acquirements gained by careful in tellectual culture and foreign travel, admi rably qualify him for his important position. He oannot fail to command admiration a: home and respect abroad. , There could have been no happier termina tion of the Treasury imbroglio thaa the ap pointment of Mr. Boutwell as Seoretary of the Treasury. The fidelity and ability he has dis played in important State and national oili jaa, Inolading his important services as Commis sioner of Internal Revenue, give a sure guar antee of his successful management of the national finances. Fennsylvauians will be especially gratified with the fact that Mr. Boutwell is a firm advocate of a protective sys tem. In a speeoh which he delivered at a Massachusetts State Convention, last fill, he strongly advocated gradual contraction until paper money "approximates in value to the standard of coin," and he predicted that the credit of the country would be so completely restored by the election of Grant that the nation could "issue bonds payable after ten or twenty years, bearing a low rate of inte rest, and thus save annually the sum of twenty or thirty millions of dollars." Time will thow to what extent these utterances as a Btnmp-speaker foreshadow his policy as a statesman and his sagacity in divining future events. There is great proprinty iu the appointment of General Kawlius as Secretary of War. 11a was a personal friend and neighbor of Grant before the war, and during all its trials aul the exciting events which have followed It, he Was Grant's favorite aid aud counsellor. The country will admire and applaud the disposi tion which clutches with hooks of steel a com panion tested in so many varied scenes, espe dially when, as in this instance, the recipient of the confidence of the President is admirably qualified for the duties of his new position. Bikcklbv commenced to froth at the mouth M soon as Audrew Juhooon left Washington, and when the paroxysm left him he found himself under heavy bail for making a cow ardly attaok upon Mr. Harland, the Deputy Commissioner of Internal Revenue. It's a pity that Binckley was not choked to death by th whooping cough, unless he has not yet reached that stage in his infantile career when this complaint might be expected to prostrate him. Akdkew Johkoh is overwhelmed with joy at his deliverance from the burdens and slavery of Presidential life. If his joy exoeeds that of the Amtrloan people at their deliver ante from him, be must, indeed, be blessed With. ye"7 exuberant spirits. froprty Eitnpl frna Tl" In urging, a few days ago, the expediency 0 taxing all species ot property for the support of the city government, we estimated th arnonnt of real estate in this city whloh has been wholly exempted from the hardens 0 taxation at more than $40,000,000, aooordlng to the assessed value. The oiTLilal statement published by ns yesterday showed that oar estimate was not a dollar too high, the amount being within a few thousand dollars o' $41,000,000. The following statement show8 the to.tal assessed value of real estate iu the city subject to the different rates of taxation, in comparison with the amount exempt from taxation: Snivel tt TsMi(n, City ml?

The following figures show the amount of money which, during the current year, is praotloally wrenched from our tax-bmrdeued oitizeus to support so called charitable, educational, and religious institutions: Tax on S39 28.480, at city rates, $1 80 707.ins " tl.iao 8(0, Kt suuurbttu rales, Jiao. 13 5ft " '6&o.&0U, al farm rates, So 90............ 6 009 Urand total....... ..572j 678 The $410,029,699 whioh are now taxed at the full city rate, fl-80, will yield during the present year 17,488,534-58, while if to this sum were added the amount exempt from taxation, making 1455,313,179, the same amount of revenue would be realized with the tax rate at $1-64 only; aud if the tax were to remain at $1-80 the revenue of the city would be increased, as is shown above, by more than $700,000, sufficient to enable ns to get through the year without the cuBtomary addition to the floating and funded debts. There are unquestionably Borne speoies of property which are justly entitled to ex emption, but it is so difficult to draw the diviling line that the ex emption of any property whatever inevitably leads, as it has always led, to the grossest and most scandalous abuses. The whole thing is wrong in theory, and we cannot hope to make it any better than it is in praotioe. For this reason the Legislature should not hesitate to come to the relief of our citizens, and those of the State at largo, by repealing every law which exempts a dollar's worth of real estate from the burdens of taxation. Senator Nagle has introduced a half-way measure looking to the accomplishment of this objeot; but it is to be hoped that it will be perfected by Inoluding burial grounds within the reach of the tax. gatherer, before it is put upon its passage. I.riflHlatlve IconoclMm. It is with a sensation approaohing astonish ment that we read the proceedings of the House of Representatives at Harrisburg on Tuesday. Amid the dreary waste of bills that have'"something in them" we encounter, for the first time during the present session, an attempt at changing the fundamental princi ples of the common law, as it has been handed down to us through the centuries. And the most astonishing part of the whole business is the fact that our legislative iconoclast, who rejoices in the name of Andrew Jackson Herr, and hails from Danphln county, has had the temerity to raise his hand against one of the xl ofct eecred images in the temple of the law. The principle familiar to the profession as "the Rule in Shelley's Case" is based upon several cases found in the antiquated series of reports known as the Year Books, whioh contain the decisions of the Euglish courts during the period from 1154 to 1547, tie earliest case in which the principle is set forth occurring in the year 1172, nearly seven oen. turits ago. The rule is thus quaintly worded by Lord Coke: "When the auceator, by any gilt or convey nnce, takctli an estate ol freehold, and la itae same gill or conveyance au estate iu limited, either mediately or Immediately, to his heirs. Iu fee or In tall, tht heirs are wordsof limitation of the estate, and not words of purchase." Deprived of its teohnical obsourlties, the principle may be thus stated: When a per Bon Is vested with an estate for life oror some other uncertain period, and in the same deed, will, or other instrument by which he re ceives this efetate, an estate of the same legal or equitable character, either with or without the interposition of another estate, is vested in "his heirs," the "heirs of his body, " or "his issue," to be held absolutely by them, the first person named is himself vested absolutely with the estate, and may dispose of it iu the same manner as any other property belonging to him without restiictton of any kind. Perhaps there is not, in the whole range of the law affecting real property, a principle which has given rise to more research aud discussion than the Rule in Shelley's Case. The works ol the great commentators and the decisions of the courts of both England and this country are filled with it, and at last all the points on which it cau possibly be bronght to bear have been so elaborated by the standard authorities of the common law, that it has become one of the clearest and most unquestionable principles of the uu written oode. Chancellor Kent, in his cele brated Commentaries, says that "it has oer tainly the pretension of high autiquity, aud has been firmly established as an axiom of the English law of real property for more than five hundred years." Not only is it firmly established in England, but, as Kent says, it "has been received and adopted in the United States as part of the system of the common law," having been recognized as binding in nearly, if not quite, every State in the Union, from the time when the principle Involved was first called in question by Utiga tlon. In Pennsylvania it was reoognized and enforced as early as the year 1754, and sinoe that date has never been called in question, la the oi Few Ypr, ilowt we bUm has It been tampered with by legislation, a law counteracting the principle having been pafeed In that State about thirty yean ago. Various reasons are assigned by the autho rities for the rule, the prinolpal one being, ao oordlng to B'aokstone, the desire to facilitate the alienation of landed property, by throw ing It into the track of oommeroe one genera tion sooner, the result of vesting the inheri--anoe absolutely la the person first named in the deed or will, and thereby giving him the power to dispose of it without restriction. Tbe rule undoubtedly originated in the de sire of the ooarts to modify, as m uoh as possi ble, the harsh terms of the old feudal system, by whloh the real estate of England was so tied up as to render its alienation almost im possible. It is true that, at times, the appli cation of the rule may work an apparent hard ship, by defeating the intention of a person who wishes to tie up his property; but the ooarts are always liberal in applying the prlnoiple to the interpretation of wills, and When the testator has clearly, expressly, and specifically declared his intention to restrtot the life estate, it is invariably held that the mle does not apply, although, iu the oase ef ngular conveyances by deed, the prlnoiple is always rigidly enforced. The only result that ctnld posBibly be attained by ignoring the rule would be tbe facilitation of limited settle ments tf real estate, without enlarging the capacity of persons owning such property to make them; and againBt snoh settlements the whole splilt of the law has been widely directed for centuries, in the manifest Interest vt publio pol cy. It is against this venerable rule of construc tion, as applied to wills alone, that Mr. Herr dlreots his efforts in the bill introduced by him on Tuesday last. It expressly provides that in all cases arising under wills to which the Rule in Shelley's Case has been heretofore applied, the estate of the tenant for life shall be Strictly limited, without the power in him to dispose of it acoording to his pleasure. The bill was referred to the J udioiary Committee, and it is to be hoped that it will reoeive a very careful consideration before it is enaoted into a law. Tbe prlnoiple of the Rule in Shelley's Case has been so carefully defined, and applied for so many centuries, that it should not be thoughtlessly overthrown. Says Chanoellor Kent, while discussing the subject under con sideration: 'All the great property lawyers justly insist upou the necessity aud Importance of stable rule.; and they deplore the perplexity, strife, litigation, and distress w-blcn result from the pnrnutt of loose and conjectural Intentions, brought forward to counteract the settleJ aud determinate meaning of technical expres sions." Oar lawmakers should keep this warning before them in legislating upon questions of such great importance. They should also remember that there are hundreds of points arising under the common law upon which the authorities are still at loggerheads, as they are not upon the Rule in Shelley's Case; and if they desire to tamper in any way with the common law, let them turn their attention where there is more apparent necessity for immediate action. If the Rule in Shelley's Case be abrogated at this late day, not only will it give rise to a vast amount of vexations litigation, but the ground which has been so faithfully and painfully cultivated by the greatest jurists of England and America will have to be gone over again, starting from a different point and working upon a different piiuciple. As a general rule, it is wise to let well enough alone. Pennsylvania Cities.
