THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 1809. THE ALDERMEN AO MX IN COURT. It le scarcely politic to conceive of a more un just and iniquitous vtem of ndmlnlhtcrlns justice than that adopted by some of the aldermen of this city. They are Imbitunlly irullty of practices quite as di-Rrncef ul and op pressive as those for which Dickens arrniirncd the polico ninglxtrntes of Loudon in "Oliver Twist;" and their mmidutes are often as unjust aud urbltrary as the decrees of an Eastern eadl or the judgment of a Mexi can alcalde. As they are dependent upon their fees for a livelihood, they almost Invariably de cide for the plaintiff, or prosecutor, without reference to the merits of the question at issue, and it i no uncommon occur rence for men to be deprived of pro perly or liberty for no other rcu-on than that such deprivation swell the sum tola of aldermanic fees. Il is as hard for an unin Ouential poor man to obtain justice before these inferior tribunals as it is dilllcult to secure the appropriate punishment of iiilluciiti.il rich rn-,-cals. But a bhort time ago Judge HrewHercitllml attention to the fact that various persons had bee committod to prison on frivolous charges. nd suffered to .languish in confinement for months without even an ofiiciul announceint'iit of the fact being made to the proper authorities; and yesterday the same Judge called the atten tion of the Grand Jury to a communication he had . received from the ofliccrs of the County Prison, complaining that that Institution was unnecessarily crowded by persons committed for aa undue length of time for trivial offenses, and that the cells designed for felons were thus occupied by petty delinquent, and the city treasury uselessly burdened with a great ex pense. Few citir.ens who are not. familiar with the ktatibtics bearing on this subject have any idea of the magnitude of these evils. If foreign gov ernments shamefully wronged or oppressed one American citizen for every hundred who arc un justly committed to prison by the aldermen of the good city of Philadelphia, the wrath of the whole nation would be enkindled, nnd the provocation would be deemed sufficient for hall-a-dor.cn gigantic wars. The number of commit ments to the County Prison during la.st year reached the enormous aggregate of 17,030, or an average of nearly fifty per day; and if the true history of all these cases could be known, it would be found that not only were many of the charges excessively frivolous, but that the portals closed on many unfortunate beings whose innocence of the offenses with which they were charged was so dear that no rational being would have failed to discover It except an avaricious alderman, whose fees were contingent upon a harsh judgment. The Prison Agent, in his report of last year, gives a tabular llHt of 1003 cases of persons dis charged from prison through his efforts, either because they were clearly Innocent of their Im puted offenses, or because a brief confinement previous to trial was amply sufficient to atone for their venial crimes. He also gives a detailed statement of the facts connected with a large number of cases, which abundantly prove that the liberty of the poorer classes is at the mercy of corrupt aldermen; and that it is by no means an univ.ur.l- occurrence for the really guilty parlies to a dispute to secure the incarce ' ration of their innocent antagonists. A few figures illustrate more forcibly than figures of speech how justice is practically ad ministered. There were 36,333 arrests by polico men in 1808, 17,620 commitments to the County Prison, and only 5353 cases acted upon by the different Grand Juries; of this number, 2361 cases (nearly half) were ignored, and of the 2M)i true bills found there were but 550 convictions. It is evident that there should either be a great in my more persons convicted and sentenced, or a much smaller number temporarily conanud iu the County Prison. Liberty and reputation are now tampered and trifled with to an alarming degree, and it is vain to expect any substantial reform until the duties Imposed upon aldermen are discharged by salaried officials who are capa ble of distinguishing between right and wrong, and whose judgments .will not be warped by pecuniary considerations. THE SAN JUAN TREATY. A ORB at portion of the Executive session of the Senate for two days has been taken up by a dis cussion of the proposed treaty for the settlement Of our long-standing dispute with Great Britain concerning the boundary line between Washlng ou Territory and Vancouver's Island. For forty years or more previous to 1846, the United 8tates claimed exclusive jurisdiction over .the vast extent of territory west of the Rocky Moun tains embraced between the latitudes of 42 deg. and 54 deg. 40 mlo. Great Britain likewise claimed the same territory as her own, aud as the dispute between the two countries progressed, considerable bitterness was manifested on both Bides, a large party In the United States decla ring In favor of maintaining our jurisdiction at the point of the sword, if necessary, and adopt ing for its war cry a motto facetiously spellod thus: "Phlphty-phour phorty or phlght !" In 1846, while James Buchanan was Secretary of State, a treaty was negotiated between the two disputing nations proposing as the settie- I ment of the difficulty the establishment of the I boundary line along the forty-ninth degree of north latitude to the middle of the channel , whlf h separates the main land from Vancouver's island, and from this point southwardly to the Pacific Ocean, through the middle of the channel above named and the Fuca Straits. A strong opposition was arrayed against the ratification of the treaty, the administration of President Polk being in cluded in the opposition, by their pledges to the 'people. But they soon found themselves en cumbered with a war with Mexico, and as a per sistence In the claim of 54 deg. 40 min. would probably have resulted in a conflict with Great Britain, they found It necessary to submit the proposed treaty to the Senate, accompanied by a half-way recommendation for its approval. After a determined opposition by the Whigs and a number of radical Democrats, the treaty Was finally ratified; but the ratification served Only to pave the way for still another vexatious Jl"-' -eat Britain put forth a claim that Strait was the channel Intended by "ille tlie United State claimed that the Canal de llaro was the Intended channel. By the former claim the island of the llaro Archipelago, of which 8n Juan is the moft Important, fell to the lot of Great Britain, while by the latter they were thrown under the jurisdiction of the United States. For ten years the question remained an open one, w itliout any attempt at settlement, save by an interminable diplomatic correspondence. Fi nally, in each Government appointed a commissioner, with instructions inspired by its ow n eeullar geographical notions, for the loca tion of the disputed boundary line. Tweuty thousand dollars were appropriated by Congress to meet the expenses. The commissioners met lu June, 1857, a wrangle, prolonged through several months, ensued, and the commissioners finally agreed to disagree, thus leaving the question precisely where they found It. Then the diploma tist went to work again, and continued writing their epistles until within a few months past. Meanwhile both Governments have con tinued to assert their jurisdiction over Sun Juan and thu other Islands of the llaro Archipelago, very much to the inconvenience aud perplexity of each other. During flic past winter, however, a treaty w as negotiated which proposes tosecure an amicable settlement of the disputed boundary line by referring its establishment, under the treaty of 1840, to the arbitrament of the Presi dent of Switzerland. It was against this apparently just and reason able proposition that Garrett Davis levelled two hours of his garrulousness iu the executive ses sion of the Senate on Tuesday, and so formida ble has been the opposition to its ratification that we are now told that the treaty must go over until the December session before it can be rati fied, even if it should theu pass the ordeal suc cessfully. The opposition, of course. Is based on the presumption that the construction put upon the treaty by the British Government is unreasonable, and unwarranted by the terms in which the boundary line between the two coun tries is described. It is possible that this view is the correct one, but if it be so, we are certainly jus tified in expecting that the President of Switzer land, a disinterested person, can be made to rea lize the fact much sooner than we can convince the ft-ltish Government of it by tous of monoto nous diplomatic correspondence. In 1859 the joint military occupancy of San Juan came near resulting in an open rupture with Great Britain. The late General Wlnfield Scott was despatched by our Government to the scene of trouble, and succeeded In effecting a temporary arrangement by which pence was preserved. But it is evident that the question in its present state may lead to serious consequences hereafter, and, as we have on our hands the Alabama-claims dispute with Great Britain, policy and justice both demand a speedy settlement of this irritating side issue. The delay of the Senate to ratify the treaty is, therefore, to be sincerely regretted. Tub rHOCKMDiNGf) of the Senate yester day w ere, enlivened by a rambling debate about matters connected with appointments. The Senators from the West and South are evidently anxious that the Blue Book should be carefully posted, so that the fact may become manifest that they have less thau their proportionate share of public patronage, while the Senators from New England and Ohio, being content with things as they are, do not favor the proposed investigation. Senator Cameron, of Pennsyl vania, improved the occasion to ventilate his views on the manner in which patronage had been distributed among the citizens of this State. He seems to think that the President should consult the Senators before making any appointments, and that he would thus receive authentic information iu re gard to the "merits and demerits of the appli cant." Whether this information would iu all cases be entirely impartial, and whether au abso lute safeguard against the appointment of "con stitutional drunkards" or "constitutional thieves" would thus be furnished, is au open question, about which in some minds there may be "doubts arising." The Republican party of the State must uko be much more harmonious than is commonly supposed, If Senator Cameron is entirely correct in his assertion that ninc tenths of the peroons appointed iu this State must be his friends, "because they could not have been selected from his party without being his friends." TJIK FINF. A UTS. The Water-Color Kxhibitlon at the Artinln Fund l.Hlleriew. Last evening a collection of water-color paintings was thrown open to a private view at the rooms of the Artists' Fund Society, No. 1334 Chesmit streot. To-day the collection was made accessible to the general public, and will so remain for about a mouth. As the proceeds of the exhibition are for the benefit of the Children's Hospital, located on Twenty second street, below Walnut, a very worthy institu tion, we should anticipate a liberal patronage, inde pendently of the unquestionable merits of the paint ings on exhibition. Embraced in the collection are over two hundred subjects, covering the whole range between the slightest sketches aud ambitious efforts such as are seldom attempted, and still more rarely with success, except in oil. The most promi nent water-color artists of both Europe and America have contributed to the collection, and on the walls may be found many masterpieces of the art. This exhibition Is particularly interesting, as it Is the most extensive exhibition of water-oolors we have had In this city, and it Is well worthy of the attention of all art connohmeurn. There Is a prevalent opinion that aquarelle Is un Inferior brunch of art, and this very erroneous Idea Is encouraged by the fact that at the exhibition of the Academy of Fine Arts works of this class are usually slighted by the hanging committee, so that the public scarcely have a fulr opportunity to Judge of their mdrits. Water color painting, too, has been but little practised In this country, although In England it has been car ried to a high state of perfection. By organizing a sepurate water-color exhibition, the gentlemen who have Interested themselves In muklng the colelction now on view at the Artists' Fund Rooms have done a genuine service to Hie art-loving public. The works can be Judged on their owu merits, without being placed in disadvantageous juxtaposition with oU pictures, aud the very high character of the col lection Is calculated to Impress the public with an adequate idea of the real merits of water-color painting. Water-colors have Important quullties which oils have not, and the two cannot properly be placed In comparison. The transparency, delicacy and tenderness of tone which are the distinguishing characteristics of aquarelle cannot be rivalled iu oils and we hope that this exhibition will hve the effect of giving the public some new ideas ou the subject and will encourage onr artists to make greater efforts than they have done hitherto to create uu Aiuericau water-color school of art The north room, which the visitor Hrst enters U devoted principally to sketches of both foreign and American artists. Prominent among thera may be noticed works of merit by C. Schusaele, J. j Krimmel, aud Mrs. E. Murray, and au illumination by Miss Jean Lee, which fairly rivals the work of those old masters of the art, the monkish copyuu of the Middle Ages. The large middle room Is devoted to the works of foreign artists exclusively, and presents many of the finest productions that have made their way to the United States. Perhaps the most striking and effective is a picture by Mrs. K Murray, entitled The Eleventh Hour," which Is admirable in color, and DinNi better la drawing than Is usual with this lady. Offsetting this is Wehnert's painting of "John round's Nagged School, - in which an ambitious sub ject has leen dealt wtth in remarkably successful style There are also several of J. Skinner Trout's Interiors, masterpieces la their way. Noticeable among these Is the famous scene in the Church of St, Laurent, Nuremiwrg, which has been thus Immortalised by Longfellow "In i th Ohnrch of Mlnd I.wrnc Stndn a p of sonlpt.ir rar Likp lonmjr sheaf of fountains Kisui through ths painted Mr." "ThoAJteBrucke,"at Bamberg, Bavaria, by the same hand, is likewise calculated to rivet the atten tion of the visitor, as are also "A Procession in a Norman Cathedral," by a Dodgson, and "A Black Frost," by Charles Brauwhlte. Entering last the south room, which is devoted exclusively to the works of American artists, we And a collection which cannot but flatter our home pride In some measure. Kdward Moran contributes two very not'ceablo works, both worthy of his high repu tation. The more pretentious of the two Is a charac teristic representation of "The Cave of the Wind, Niagara," In which the majestic cataract Is reproduced in a masterly manner. The other, "A Stream in the Woods," is smaller, but almost equally effective in a somewhBt different war. James Hamilton contributes his remarkably fine marine study entitled "What are the Wild Waves fraying?" and W. T. Hichards a delicately tinted aerial reproduction of "Lake A vermis." "The Track, of the Torrent," a view In the Adirondack!, by James I). Hmillie, and "On the Bouquet River," by Oeorge II. Smillie, are tioth noticeable, and are' ac companied by other works from the same hands. There are also a strongly colored painting, "The Woodcbopper," by T. W. Wood; "A Brig Have-to," by M. F. II. lc llaos; "Twilight in Connec ticut," and a "Scene in Connecticut," by Kruseman Van Klten; "On Lake Wlniii piseogee," by Kdmund 1). Lewis; "The ltoad to Gleutles, County Donegal," by John Faulkner; and the "Remains of an Old Mosque ut Ileres, Spain," by N. Coleman ; all of them effective ami attractive.' Hut perhaps the centre of attraction will lw found to be a line study of a child, "Just Awake," by Mrs. E. Murray, whose present residence In this country entitles her to a place among American as well as foreign artists. It is impossible within the limits or a single article to do Justice to this tine exhibition, ami we propose to discuss the merits of the most im portant contributions more In detail hereafter.
