"() monhtkous!" cxelalrtied Prince Henry, when be Injected the K'rapa of paper found in the pockets of Sir John FalMnff; "hut one-hulf pennyworth of bread to this intolerable deal of sack!" If Prince Henry could have examined the personal aceounU of some of our modern legislators ho would have been even more astounded, and convinced of the fact that in their brlnglng-up the maxim of Falntaf ''If I had a thousand sons, the first human principle I would teach them should be to forswear thin potatoes, and to addict themselves to sack" had enjoyed a full swing. Unblushlngly impudent as were many of the doings of the " Hundred and Thirty-throe Thieves" recently in conclave at Harrlsburg, we are inclined to think .that they were slightly deficient in a knowledge of some of the tricks of their trade. At any rate, while they might do very well for llarrisburg, they were scarcely fitted by know ledge and experience to take front scuts in the Albany den. A special committee of the New York Legis lature, entrusted with the duty of investigating the right of certain claimants to the occupancy of seata in that body, has completed its labors and reported the expenses attending their pro secution. Altogether, three seiits were disponed of by the committee, two Democrats being kicked out of very disreputable company to make room for two Republicans who are not particular about their associations, and one Democrat being thrust aside to make room for another of the same political complexion. The total cost of the committee's work was $9000, quite mode rate, we think, when regarded as a whole, but certainly very curious, to suy the least, when we come to examine It by detail. The first thing that strikes us in glancing over the per sonal expenses of the committee is the excessive Indifference with which its members appear to have regarded the common demands of nature. In truth, so engrossed in their laud able work were they that they seldom paused to satisfy the cravings of hunger. The aggregate cost of meals, during the period of their labors, is put down at $15. Here, indeed, we have the very extravagance of ollfcial absti nence, the very consummation of legislative economy. Fish, flesh, fruit, and flour of the aggregate cost of $15 served to maintain the union between eoul and body, and to keep those two elements of manhood on entirely satisfac tory relations towards each other. With the ength of time we are not familiar, but the marvel of the whole thing is that a committee of any legislature in the land could sit even once at table and consume only 15 worth of victuals. But while the Invitation to victual was heard so seldom in the committee-room, the other omi nous legislative cry, "Let's liquor," never paused ' for the echo, and three hundred and sixty-eight Hollars' worth of brandy, tehigkii, and trine trickled down the parched throats of the committee-men, as they sat at their patriotic task, enveloped in all the smoke that could be evolved from cigars of the value of 'S430-57. Burdened with such loads of whisky on an empty stomach, and almost strangled by the accumulated vapor , of the weed, no one will be surprised to learn that the committee did not prosecute their labors by night as well as by day. Human endu rance has its limits under all circumstances, ami the 6tomach of a legislator Is not necessarily firo-proof. The unhappy fate which befell MoKlnstry when his contents were destroyed a month or so ago, will be remembered as sub stantiating this ruito axiomatic principle. Iu 'the evening the committee rested from their labors. And if they were grand when in motion, they certainly were magnificent when at repose. Duly Impressed with a sense of their high and responsible position as lawmakers, and thoroughly appreciating the teachings of re warded virtue and discomfited villainy, their evenings were passed at the theatres of the metropolis, contemplating the English blondes in such great moral dramas as The Female Forty Thieoes. The profit which the committee received directly from this source, and which must ultimately and indirectly inure to the benefit of the people of tho State of New York, co6t the trifle of 270, besides a small allowance in the way of livery expenses, for carting their legislative carcasses to and from the theatres when the whisky, brandy, wine, and cigars had proved too much for their empty fire-proofs. But this theatrical recreation was not the only respite the members of the committee enjoyed. Desiring to behold tho wonders which are re vealed only to those who go down to the eea in ships, and to commune with nature on dry laud, away from the dust and turmoil of tho city perchance, as the old saying has it, "to look ti.mmrh nature un to." etc. they made a modest ... " "r ' - Journey down the bay, rambling through the lanes of Staten Island, at tne very moderate expenso to the State of $50. Despite all this, however, their official labors, and the oppressive burden wVinkv. brandv. and wine on empty stomachs. sufficed to undermine their constitutions to such on aWrmlni)' extent that a physician was sum moned, and an additional expense of $55 thereby incurred. Wow. althouirh the people of tills city and State are not directly interested in this shame less exhibit, Albany is not so far removed from Jlarrisburg that the lesson it teaches is rendered nt nn a.va.11 for us. This committeo of tho New York Legislature is merely a type of tho institu the scandalous manner in which they have attempted to swindle the people of their own State Is merely on a par witu wnai we nave witnessed, over and over again, in Pennsylvania. t .hra how utterly rotten, corrupt, and de bauched has become tho class of men Into whose hands the business of legislation bus fallen in .i nortlnn of the country. For this !7.. A ffai ihe.ro is but ouo practical remedy, . .i... un,,iv the tieople hold In their hands. . .t. hionle of Pennsylvania will have the common sense and the courage to apply it at the next election, remains to be seen. If they are found lacking in cither quality, we can only "ay that they deserve to be plundered lu tho nuurew they have been in the past. OPPOSITION TO Tnn QUAKER INDIAN POLICY. Tub old system of managing Indian Affairs affords tao many chauees of plunder to be grace fully surrendered, and Senators, especially, arc loth to give up Iho advantageous opportunities it affords for rewarding their friends and favor ites at the public expense. Any or all of tho so called Indian treaties Involves a considerable appropriation of public money, which is nomi nally Intended for tho use of the savage, but which, nine times out of ten, serves m .inly to enrich white agents, contractors, commission ers, and their patrons. The popular demand for a reform having become irresistible, the House of Representatives bavin r successfiilly rcsistcd tho enormous exactions embraced In the last batch of Indian treaties, and the Presi dent having resolved to try the effect of Quaker diplomacy, under tho supervision of an Indian Commissioner, it was commonly supposed that the old rings would be effectually broken u;, and that a fair trial would be given ' to the new policy. It appears, however, that it is stiil antagoni7cd, indirectly, nnd one of the latest exhibitions of hostility is the rejection of tho Quaker agents appointed forthe tribes residing in Kansas and Nebraska. The Senators of those States are said to be in dignant at the attempt to place followers of Penu in the positions which thev desired to secure for their and it i. alleged other causes for this individual favorites, that among the indignation is the now drained for the fact that the Treasury is support of Indians who have no longer a tribal existence. A despatch to the New York Herald states that nil the Delaware Indians have emi grated from Kansas into the Indian Territory except about one hundred, who have become naturalized citizens of Kansas, but that a friend of Senator Pomeroy retains the position of Agent for the legally extinct tribe, drawing a salary and various perquisites, with out rendering any legitimate service whatever. The Senator who should have been aware of these facts, if they are really true, has tukon no trouble to apprise the Committee on Retrenchment of this opportunity for reduc ing the public expenditures, but he bitterly an tagonizes the idea of having such a good chance for plundering the Treasury surrendered to a Quaker who would probably report all the facts, and thus throw new light upon the corruptions of the old system. The Indian has proved a capital catspaw to the Western adventurers who have so skilfully used him to despoil the tax-payers of thejnation. The representatives of various tribes have again and again complained that, while the Indians have derived little or no advantage from their treaties, the agents and their superiors in office have grown rich. The red men have been vic timized on the one hand, and the toiling masses of tho white race on the other. Tribe after tribe disappears. Attempts at civilization fail. Bloody wars are not averted. The aborigines arc wronged, frontier settlers arc massacred, the public treasure is squandered; but amid all these disasters and tragedies, the persons who manipu late tho system which was devised to prevont theni bask in the sunshine of prosperity, and increase in wealth as rapidly as the Johusonizcd officials of the Internal Revenue Department. As there must be something radically wrong iu the policy which produced such results, we trust that the President will persist in his re ported determination to effect a radical reform, despite the oppobition of Western Senators. Let him go on appointing one Quaker agent after another until the attention of the whole couutry is uttriicted to tho real merit of tho con troversy, and until the necessity of infusing honesty into this brunch of the public service la universally recognized. CUJi A. The latest news from Cuba received by way of Key West, and published iu this morning's papers, is calculated to arouse tne indignation ot every citizen of this Republic, whether they sympathize with the revolution or not. We are Informed that Count almascda, the commander of the Spanish forces in the Eastern Department, has issued a proclamation, of which the following are the principal features: First. Every native male over fifteen years of age found away from his residence without suillclent cause will be executed. Second. Every uninhabited dwelling and every in habited dwelling where a white Hug is umlispluyed will be reduced to a sues. ' Third. All women away from their houses will come to Iiuyanio or Jiguaul, or they will be brought by force. Accustomed as wo nave oeen oi late to tno re ports of Spanish outrages, it is difficult to be lieve that such an order as this was really issued by an officer professing to represent a civilized and Christian government. At the same time there is nothing against the truth of it except its fiendish character, and if it really was issued it is certainly time for the friends of Cuban inde pendence iu the Uuited States to make them selves heard iu the most decided and unmistaka ble manner. A meeting will be held this even ing at the Academy of Music, and we hope that the demonstration will be of such a character as will encourage the Cuban patriots and advance their cause. The Cuban revolutionary movement cannot in any way be put in comparison with the late Slaveholders' Rebellion lu the United States, but it is entirely analogous with our own revolution of 1770. The outrages perpetrated by the Spanish authorities make it more than ever necessary tluit the voice of the American people should be heard, clear, strong, and Imperative, on the subject of Cuban independence, and the time appears to have now arrived when it is not only expedient, but our absolute duty to do something beyond giving our mere sympathies to the struggling patriots who are endeavoring to free themselves from the chains of a despot ism us cruel as It is coutcniptable. THE (IRANI) JURY. It is uot often that we are enabled to peruse a document in the shape of u presentment of a grand jury, which possesses such sterling merit and is deserving of such unqualified endorse ment as that which Mr. Robert J. Mercer, the foreman of the body whose labors have just been brought to a close, presented to the Criminal Court this morning. It deserves a careful read ing at the hands of every citizen. The mH jury again call especial attention to the crowded state oi tne county Prison, and iustlv nliio tlw principal tdiare of the blame for it' upon our recKiess ana grasping aldermen. Thev snv "In tho great majority of cases tlie muii n,i ....... of the private accuser, u harvest rich in eirioluinenw for our houorable aldermen, mat heavy hills of ei- prune iur hip luiiiiiiuiinj in lux-iiayers, are more easily discernible than the paramount claims of Jus tice or IIIB puuim uinirni. - - 'j'1B vhole prison miiiiBin-B un mm nui'ji-.'i reiioer it upparent that our alderriianic system 1ms been turned into laboratory for the creation of offenses, and wen trained witnesses are ever ready to aid the most ne furious enterprise. " As a remedy for this Btato of affairs the Grand Jury urges two propositions tho appointment of the aldermen by a power removed from the direct Influences of, ward polltica, and their re muneration by stated salarlos, Instead of feei. The latter of these proposed remedies will cer tainly be productive of a great reform, and it is uiguiy prooaoie mat tne former would prove equally efficacious. Under the present loose and rotten system, the County Prison Is crowde 1 with persons accused of trivial offenses, in the gre.it majority of which cases there U not tho shadow of a prima facie caso against thcrn, while, as the Grand Jury maintains, the high handed criminals are enabled to go nnwhipt of JuhUco through influences with which the public Is already too familiar. A reform Is Impera tively demanded, and the people have the means of effecting it within their reach. They must begin with the Legislature, by selecting next October a class of men different in almost every reipect from those who have heretofore been entrusted with the task of making our laws a class of men with whom the public interests will be paramount; whose sole study shall not be a discriminate and reckless plundering of the tav-poyerf. LAFAYETTE COLLEGE. Tn complimentary banquet which was giveu last evening at the Continental Hotel, in honor of Rev. William C. Cattell, the President of Lafayette College, was something more than a mere social gathering, or a simple expression of regard for a talented and estimable gentleman. Dr. Cattell was surrounded on this occasion by men who do honor to tho stations which they hold in this community, and who represented the learning, social influence, and piety of the most influential classes of society: and the expres sions of personal regard for tho recipient of the testimonial and of earnest sympathy for the great work in which he is engaged, were such as will be appreciated at their true value. Dr. Cattell took charge of Lafayette College when its fortunes were at the lowest ebb, and by his learning, influence, skilful manage ment and indomitable energy, ho has not only placed it upon a firm foundation, but he has brought it to the front rank among our educa tional Institutions. Holding fast to what is good in the old collegiate systems, he has successfully Introduced improvements in accordance with the most advanced ideas of the age, and has gathered about him a corps of workers as enthusiastic as himself, whose solid learning and eminent ability in the various departments have aided mate rially in giving Lafayette College its present standing. President Cattell will shortly sail for Europe, where he expects to remain for a year or more, engaged In tho examination of the various Polytechnic schools, investigating their sys tems of government and principles of education. His friends on this side of the water bid lilin God-speed, and they anticipate the most grati fying results to follow from the extended tour of observation upon which lie is about to em bark. In our paper to-day will be found a full report of the proceedings at the banquet last evening; and we especially commend Dr. Cattcll's admirable address to the attention of our readers. . The Natuhamzation Question. Whatever may be the legal merits of the issue on the power of the Supreme Court at Nisi Prius to naturalize aliens, which was put at rest yester day by Chief Justice Thompson's decision, the subject demands imperatively the attention of Congress. If the Nisi Prius Court is to bo en trusted with this power, without any safeguards other than those noAv provided by law, wo shall be in tho future, as wo have been in tho past, at the mercy of reckless and shameless politicians. Tho tooutsr thoy are irovouted from rendering nugatory the ballots of legal voters the better for the people and tho country. T11H FINE AKTS. Tlie Academy of Fine Arts nnd the Ai-UnIm. In our first notice of the annual opening exhibi tion at the Academy of Fine Arts, we referred to the quarrel of long standing between the artists of Phila delphia and the managers of the institution as the reason for the Inferiority of the present collection, and its inadequacy as a representation of the pro gress and standing of Philadelphia art. Of course, both parties to this quarrel consider themselves exclu sively and entirely iu the right ; but, as is generally the case in matters of tills kind, there is something to be said on both sides, and our only desire is to give a fair and impartial statement of matters as they stand, and, If possible, to aid in bringing about a better state of feeling. The artists claim that the Academy of Fine Arts, the oldest institution of tho kind in the country, does not give, and never has given, during the half century and more that It has been in existence, that support and encouragement to Philadelphia art that they have a right to expect from it. On the other hand, the direc tors of the Academy contend that the artists know nothing of practical business management, that they arc jealous of each other, and that they would never be satisfied under any circumstances. In answer to the charge of want of business ability, which has been very frequently urged against them, tho artists point to the Academy of Fine Aits, which has been exclusively iu tlie hands of business men, ami they ask whether the management under any circum stances could be worse. As a proof that American artists have not been neglected in the exhibition, and in answer to tho complaint that undue promi nence has been accorded to foreign works, a gentle man prominently connected with the Academy has favored us with the following statement, to which we very willingly give place in our columns: "An examination of the catalogues of the Pennsyl vania Academy of Flue Arts from the year 1S04 to ISGs annual spring exhibitions presents the fact that there have been placed upon the walls for pub lic exhibition IBM) works of art which had not previ ously been exhibited there. A further examination shows that of these works 72ft were by Philadelphia artists, 41T by other Americans, 44 by foreigners resi dent in this country, muklng a total of 1180 com monly called American works, leaving a balance of 864 works bv foreign artists. The present spring (18!9) exhibition displays 138 pictures upon what is commonly called the eye line, und of these 102 are by American artists, and of this number Ware by resi dent Philadelphlans.'' This statement proves nothing more than that a greater number of American than roreigu pictures have been exhibited. What tlie artists complain of is that foreign works and works by others than Philadelphlans have during a long series of years I een accorded the most advantageous positions on the walls of an institution that ostensibly exists for the encouragement of Philadelphia art, and that our home productions have been hung anywhere that epaee could be found for them, often after such a picture, by such a noted European painter, from Mr. fc'o und So's collection, hail been placed in such a pot Itiou that the public could see it to advantage, and note the fact stated In tho catalogue that Its happy possessor was Mr. So and No. It would, probably, be impossible to give entire r attraction, under any circumstances, In such a delicate matter as hauglng tho pictures In the exhl- 1 ition. Every artist, of course, lias a full apprecia tlon of the importance of his own works, and he ioiiseiu ntly is not suited if they do not all got good I ositlons on tho eye line. Wo believe, however, that they have a real grievance in this matter, and it Is evident that there must be something radically wrong in the management of the Academy when such men as Rothermel, Kd. Moran, Isaue L. Williams, George V. Iteiwell, and others well known for their ability at d standing as artists, refuse to allow their works to appear U(ion the wulls of the Academy, preferring to take their chances iu getting them before the public in some other manner. Last !rlng Mr. Edward Moran was urgently re quested to forget his differences with the Acadcmj , and he cuseotcd to contribute, under the assurance h t his works should have fair treatment. What followed was not altogether creditable to either party, but it served to illustrate th whole difficulty, and to bring It In the most decided manner before the public. Mr. Moran's action tn defacing his pic tures appeared rash and ill tempered, but every one could see for themselves that they were not hung In such positions as was due to the reputation of the artist or their own undoubted merits. While the artists very properly think that an Acadomy designed for the encouragement of Ameri can art ought to exert Itself to place good American works before the public, and to make additions ot such works to Us own collection as often as is prac ticable, yet they have never demanded thft exclusion of foreign art; and no other proof of this is needed than Gastaldl's picture of "Parisina," which was only purchased by the Academy, at a sum which was perfectly insignificant in comparison with its real value, at the urgent solicitation and entreaty of the artists of Philadelphia, who appreciated fully the Im portance of having such a picture among us as a subject for study. In every other country but the United States nation al works of art are always accorded the first places, and the foreigners are left to take care of themselves as best they may. At the Paris Kxpnsltlon of lsei the Kine Art Committee complacently voted themselves and their compeers all the desirable prizes, and they cared nothing for w hat the Helglans, Italians, Kjig llsh, and Americans might think or say so long as French art was glorified. Are we in Philadelphia more virtuous than Paris, or are we merely more stupid, that we take French art at its own valuation, and thmst our own productions In the background T Or is American art so utterly valueless that It is not tit to show its face in good company t These are sub jects worthy of consideration, and we hope that the managers of the Academy of Fine Arts, with the results of this policy before them in the most indif ferent display they have offered to the public for years, will think it worth while to make a fresh start, and try and do something worthy of the name and ancient reputation of the Institution which they represent.
