"() 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 ' -

of Staten Island, at tne very moderate expenso

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

. .i... un,,iv the tieople hold In their hands.

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.
