The Case of Girard
College.
Judge Allison's Charge to the Grand
Jury The Inside Management of
the Institution Is it Any
Better than a Prison?
Court of Oimrtor Kciwdim-Alllon, I. .1.
Hy means of the special ventre Issued yesterday,
tbe Grand Jury was this morning formed with u
competent number of members. T. C. Henry, Kso,.,
wus appointed foreman of the Inquest, who, having
been qualified, were Instructed by tlio Court upon
the subject of their general duties. At this conclu
sion of hlR remarks upon these routine matters, his
Honor proceeded to subjects of more Interest and
special importance, speaking as follows: .
In addition to your general duty to Investigate the
revcral charges of crime agulust individual oiicndcrs,
presented to you In the form or regular Indictments,
you possess also the power of a geuerul oversight of
the public interests as connected with a class of In
stitutions which are directly or indirectly associated
with the governmental or reformatory Interests and
public charities of the city. It Is customary for the
Grand Jury to visit these Institutions and make re
port to the Court of their condition, and through this
channel the public are supposed to be informed of
the manner in which their atl'atrs are administered.
That some advantage results from these periodical
visits to the Penitentiary, Couuty Prison, Alms
house, and House of Kefuge cannot be doubted
But still greater benelit would attcud tint
monthly examinations if they were made less formal
and more searching. If they were not anticipated
by the officers of these institutions, aud were
made at times when least expected, results
much more satisfactory thun have yet been
attained might reasonably be expected from them.
We have the stereotyped report of the Grand Jury
made from month to month, thut they hud made the
usual visit to these several places, aud found them
in a satisfactory condition ; but these reports are sel
dom, II ever, accompanied by a statement of facts
showing an investigation into the detail of manage
ment or treatment of inmates. For the Grand Jury
to fix a day and hour upon which they intend to
make these visits, and notify theofflcers of the insti
tution beforehand, is of little advantage, except the
general result of requiring everything to be put In
order once a month at least for Inspection. It Is
very seldom that the officers are Interrogated under
oath, that the inmates are separately examined, that
food and treatment are made the subject of investi
gation, or that the general customs and practices are
in any degree looked Into. That these practices re
quire supervision may be inferred from the report of
the manner In which two persons under sentence of
death were recently allowed to remuln in our County
Prison almost unguarded, aud one of them to become
his own executioner by suicide; and this, too, with
the example which had uot long preceded it of a
similar occurrence in Berger a case. Had both
Twitchell and Berger been properly guarded, such
results would have been far more difficult of accom
plishment, and the law would in all probability not
have been cheated of Its due and legal execution.
In this connection, It will not be out of pluee to
refer to the practice which prevails of al.'owlug pri
soners under sentence of death to be extensively
visited. It Is reported to have been the case with
both Twitchell aud Katon a practice which calls for
correction at the hands of the proper authority, and
to which the attention of the Grand Jury may with
propriety be directed. It will be conceded that all
reasonable intercourse with counsel, with religious
instructors, and relatives, should be permitted,
nnder proper conditions, to one whose life has been
declared forfeited to the violated luws of the land;
vet no one thus situated should be allowed to- be
visited from motives of mere curiosity, which only
panders to a morbid or vitiated sentiment, and
w hich too often seeks to lionize one who stands con
victed of murder as a hero, deserving of sympathy
rather than punishment
The general treatment of prisoners under sen
tence should be carefully supervised by the Grand
Jury. It 1b almost the only mode of reaching and
making public the administration of prison disci
pline ami government. It is important that that gov
eminent should be uniform, that the luw muy
with impartiality be carried into eilect. A sentence
should not mean to one man close coniinemeut in his
cell, and a rigid adherence to prescribed fare und
treatment, and to another the use of the corridors
of the prison, the free access of friends, and the
snnnlv of luxuries which inouey will procure.
And whilst the laws of the prison should be
rigidly enforced, and obedience to its rules exacted
with ilrmness, the manner of enforcing such obedi
ence should from time to time be inquired into by
the Grand Jury. The death of an inmate of one of
the New York prisons, not long since, whilst under
going punishment, led to an investigation, which
resulted iu bringing to light the iniliction of cruelties
noon the Inmates that were a disgrace to the age In
which we live. The exercise ut arbitrary power,
when hidden from public view, when ullowed to run
on unquestioned for a long time In secret, Is almost
certain to degenerate iuto au abuse of such power,
and often to be attended with circumstances ol great
wronir to the delenseless.
Perhaps no more marked and startling Illustration
could be given of this truth than was brought to light
iu the recent Investigation of the Joint special com
mittee of inquiry relative to the management ol
Girard College. The inmates of that Institution are
the orphan children of the city of Philadelphia, the
ohjecu of its care, as they are the recipients of the
bounty of the muulUceut founder of the college;
and vet the report made only lust year shows that
the fatherless aud motherless inmates of the institu
tion as a punishment for misconduct, were cont ned
in what were called lockups, where they were kept
for davs, and sometimes for weeks, on bread and
water; in some Instances given to them ouly t wice
day. with but little ventilation iu summer, the at
mosphere offensive ami unhealthy, and no
heat in win erT Mr. Boswell test.nVs that in
one Instance a boy was kept there until his
?t4twwe "o badly fVosted, it was weeks before he
recovered. With no suitable, and sometimes no, pro
vision for attending to the most pressiiuf necessities,
HfTtliat the floor of the room would become filthy.
Mr Jose hRKhoads testules that he visited the
lockup when it was so offensive he could not go in ;
had boys removed from it because they could not be
kept there without danger to their health and llves

paces of this kind, as well as the persons whoreson,

the persons most interested in keeping hid from
public, and official view tne places and the acts which
would expose them to punishment. The detection
anil pr sedition of these offenders rest upon the
polli tof lhe city, and with the citizen who has know
ledge wt ich would enable the officer of the law,
charged it'.i the conduct of its prosecution by in
dictment, to bring the guilty to punishment. Neither
the District Attorney nor the Court can ferret out. the
criminal in his hidden place of resort. It Is their duty
to try in due form of law the
jersors found by tlio action of the
Grand Jury to be prii, 'w-ie criminal, and If con
victed the obligation rcn ipon the Court to see th.it,
proper punishment Is tunicted upon the guilty. Hut
it Is a confounding of all proper distinction between
the detect ion on the one hand, aud the prosecution
and the punishment, of the criminal on the other
hunt), to require of those whose functions are called
Into play, only when one Is charged with crime ac
cording to the laws of the land, to assume the duties
of the detective officer and do that, which would of
Itself bo illegal and oppressive. Kvery citizen who
lias knowledge 0f the existence of either of the evils
mentioned owes It to the community to see that the
necesvary complaint Is legally made, and by refusing
or m g!ectlng to do so he becomes rcsMtisihle for the
continuance of the particular offense, which cannot,
as many suppose, be summarily and In an arbitrary
way suppressed, nor can the blame tie shifted to
others who are not responsible, because wanting In
the requisite knowledge or power to remedy many of
the evils existing mining us.
I call your special attention to the fruitful cause of
crline.tlie sale of Intoxicating liUors,and where cases
of violations of tho law are properly brought to your
notice, to act In disposing of them with promptness

.Henry T. Blow, the New IHlnUtcr to tho
Court ol Horn Pedro.
The President yesterday signed the commission of
the Hon. Henry T. Blow, of Missouri, as Minister to
Brazil, In the place of General James Watson Webb,
cf New York, who has held the position, to which he
was appointed by President Lincoln, since the year
1801. The position is one of the most desirable In
onr diplomatic service, the salary alone being tt'2,000
a year In gold. The Senate regarded It as altogether
too good for General Pile, but as the President hail
made up his mind that a certain locality must fur
nish the mulcriul for this office, another Missourian
has secured the appointment. As Mr. Blow is a de
cided Improvement upon both Pile and Webb, he
will probably be continued by the Senate next
win tor.
The new Minister was born la .Southampton
county, Virginia, July 15, 1817; removed to Missouri
In 1830, and graduated at the St. Louis University ;
devoted himself to the drug and lead business ;
served four years in the State Senate ; In 1861 he was
appointed by President Lincoln Minister to Vene
zuela, which he resigned in less than a year, and in
1862 he was elected a Representative from Missouri
to the Thirty-eighth Congress, Berving on the Com
mittee ot Ways and Means. He was also a delegate
to the Baltimore Convention of 1864. In 1861 he was
re-elected to the Thirty-ninth Congress, serving on
the Committees on Appropriation, Buukrupt Law,
and lteconstruction. Mnce his retirement from Con
gress he has uot been very active lu politics.

of War, Public Credit, uud Public Works ; (2) to
remove several obnoxious tuxes, and establish new
and presumably more profitable imposts, as fol
lows: No. 1 establishes an impost upon mining. It pro
vides for the free exportation of precious metals,
except gold and silver coined, which will pay for ex
portation from the republic, the first one per cent.,
and the second eight per ceut. All the taxes tliut

SPAIN.
niontpcnnler Iocn Not Want Crown.
Thn Corrftptrntitiu-itt and most of the Madrid papers
of recent dates publish the following:
For the present we deem it useless to break
another spear on behalf of our candidate, the Ihiko
of Montpensler, because his Royal Highness never
pretended to tho crown that is to say that ho
never sought or solicited It ; but that he has ated
thoroughly m a Spaniard llovlng his country, who
consented that the hope of arriving at a consolida
tion of the revolutionary work should be founded In
him. The Duke never dreamed to ascend the throne
without having been duly elected by the vote of the
Cortes, the legitimate representatives of the country
by nmversal suffrage. The Duke would have retired
some time since Into private life If every day and
every moment he had not been given to understiind
that his silence and passive assent were necessary to
the triumph of the revolution which he had acknow
ledged. In our opinion, the Duko of Mnutpeusier
aspires nowadays but. to enjoy in a peaceful retire
ment, anil In the midst of his family circle, the rights
and guarantees granted to all Spaniards, However,
should the circumstances exact it, ho will be always
ready to defend, as a Spaniard and as a soldier, tile
liberties of the nation. We must add that, more than
ever, we entertain the conviction that, the candida
ture of the Duke of Montpensler would be the
strongest obstacle to the reaction in Spain, as is
proved by the incessant war made against him by all
the enemies of the revolution.
Preiinriillonx Tor n. Formidable CiirlUt Itlslnir.
In correspondence from Madrid, April 22, wn find
the following, which foreshadows another rising:
Lo, we are to have a grand movement soon. The
journals arc full of the project. The good citizens of
this capital converse about It freelv, and, following
the current, I might as well stute that this grand
movement, which Is to tako place "soon," Is to li
the Invasion of Spain by the Carlists ami the taking
of the Held against them by Marshal Serrano and his
army.
The Carlists line the northern slopes of tho Pyre
nees; they ure camped along the whole range from
Bayonno to Pcrpigmin. They lire heard of as being
at La Innguera, Folx, Tarbes, Dox, Aleron, Mons
Louis aud Itellegnrde, making snort excursions into
Spuin, frightening a few of the people, and Inviting
the National Guards after them. Kven 111 the inte
rior of Spain there nrc fonnd evidences betokening
that tho coming struggle is not far distant.
At Cnenca there Is a congregation of Cor
lists, in what force Is not known, and will
not be known until the trumpet blast or Don
Corlos and his General Martinez Is heard this
side of the Pyrenees The Carlists, I have no doubt
In the least, are nearly as plentiful In Madrid as the
republicans, and they may be scattered all over
Spain in equal numbers with the flarce radicals.
Being strong, there is no occasion to hide in ambush
forever. Either Don Carlos must feel himself strong
enough to make good battle, otherwise he Is an idiot
to publish his intentions, prompting Serrano and
Prim to energetic action. Whatever movements his
troops have made as yet have been known prettv
clearly, and It is in the mouth of the meanest peas
ant treading the streets or Madrid thut "Don Curios
is coming."
If the Kepubllcans unite with theCorllsts, as I have
heard some people say they will, they are in the ma
jority, und Prim and Serrauo must wing their wav to
the Philippines or the Cunaries faster than they
came. But it is hurdly possible, because bv helping
Don Carlos to the throne of Spain the republicans
will have leaped out of the frying-pan Into the tire
with a vengeance. Don Carlos will become a tlxture
irremovable, while if they waited to see what kind of
a monarch the government would bring forth, they
might find plenty of chances to make a dash and
upset monurchy forever iu the country.
The I'.llect of Ciutclnr'H J rent Speech In the
Cortex Trim Horn Over to the .Republican.
The Madrid, April 18, correspondence says, In
reference to. Custelar's great speech in the Cortes,
which we publish on an inside page to-day:
Frequently the applause from every part of the
house Interrupted him, and when he had brought
his peroration to a close a peroration nuequaled for
beauty of diction, force of language, and sublimity
of imagery the excitement j. was so great ttiattlie
members of the Chutnber, irrespective of party,
rushed up to him and congratulated him, liivero
leading the way, and embracing him on both
cheeks. The scene was bewildering. The effect of
the orution has not worn off yet. The young orator
has received upwards of three hundred telegrams
from all parts of the country, thanking him for this
service to the cause of religious liberty and freedom
of thought. There Is a proposition thut the Cortes
shall print the speech by tens of thousands,
and outside all parties are uniting to present
him with a testimonial. But these compliments,
merely personal, and however deserving of record us
indicating the esteem in which his marvellous powers
are held, are really empty results, compared with
the effect his terrible attack upon the Church and the
coalition has had politically. Kivero's petty scheme
to avert the breaking up of the majority, though im
mediately successful, hus been completely deleuted
by this speech or Castelar's, and tills In the most un
expected manner. The orator dashed at the monar
chical scheme, and smashed it in with tho refusal of
Don Fernundo. lie laid bare all the weak places of the
coalition, and thrust his lance into the very marrow
of their differences. He showed up the inconsisten
cies or each section, and excited one against tho
other. He spared no one. Every word was a live
coal which burnt deep into the flesh. Progressists,
Moderators, Democrats, Neos, each writhed in turn.
As he spoke each ruction felt its time was come.
Consternation was on every face. Had the at up been
premeditated, hud the house been prepared for this
terrillc onslaught, no doubt u means of paralyzing
tho attack would have been round. As it was, the
blow cume down swift us a thunder-bolt, and
scathed all. That same night Prim held a consulta
tion with his own personal purty. That same night,
too, a meeting of the chief Kepubllcans took place
at CaMtelur's house. It had long been felt that sooner or
later the Progressists must come over the Itepubli
cuii side, aud the resolution taken wus to accept the
anticipated overtures from the first who should
make them. The choice would lay between Prim
uud Serrano. Prim stole a march upon his rival, and
on Tuesday night went to Casttdur's bouse ami
frankly stated that the monarchy had become Im
possible, thut the republicans were masters or tlio
situution, anil thut he wus ready to unite with them.
This offer was at once accepted. It is resolved that
the republic shall be allowed to glide in
without shock, without violence. There is even an
understanding respecting tho Ministers. Prim will
remuln Minister of War. As. however, in this posi
tion he would become a standing danger to the He
public, a national militia is to be enrolled to
form u counterpoise. The future Finance Minister,
the Minister of Marine, and the Minister of Stute,
are all designated. The discussion, of the
Constitution will be allowed to go on, for the idea
is to consume time, so thut the projected change
may have more time to work. It is cveu likely the
monarchical form of government will bo voted, but
us there will be uo monarch the republic must be
accepted as a matter of course. Then we shall have
u cull for a new Cortes Coustituyentes, which will
unno tne uonsiiiuiioii just voted und remodel it more
in accordance with the principles or tho revolution
ami in harmony with republican institutions. This,
at leust, is the plan of the new allies at present.
Spain, however, is such a country of surprises, that
uu uuexpected event may upset this project.
CUBA.
lintlcrinir Pronpeet of Aflnirn Neuoiliilioiix IVir
I be I'lii-chtine of Monitors American tJuu
boutw lair ibe Cuban Navy.
The N. V. HeraUi'8 Washington correspondence ol
yesterday has the following:
Mr. Domingo Hulz, the Cuban Envoy to tho United
States, returned to tills city to-night after a lew
weeks' absence, which was spent In visiting different
farts of the country in the interest or his cause. Mr.
ltulz declares that so rar from the Cubans being In a
weakly condition they are really stronger now than
at any time since the commencement of their revo
lution. Despatches have been received by Mr. Kuiz
from Cespedes, which represent the statu of affulrs
us being in the highest degree cheering. Thou
sands of arms and two thousand men, among
whom were two hundred American artillerists, have
recently reuched Cuba in safety, aud rresh supplies
are leaving Mexico and the United States almost
every week. Mr. Kuiz states that the Spaniards aro
very much mistaken in supposing that the Cubans
will permit them to remain idle during the warm
seusou. Ccspedes intends to rorco the Spanish
troops to light during the sickly season, and will
permit them to take uo rest until they consent to
leave the country or are taken prisoners. Iu this
kind ol warfare the Cubans will have uu Immense
advantage, being proof against tlio heat aud
the fever, while the Spaniards must natur
rally fall victims to both. In about a month Mr.
Kuiz expects to receive Intelligence from the Cuban
agent sent to Peru announcing the successful nego
tiation of the purchuso or tho two Peruvian irou
cluds. Mr. Ambrosio Valiente, who has undertaken
this business, has been given full powers, aud uo
doubt Is entertained about his complete success.
The conditions will bo that no money need be
paid lor the monitors until after tho achievement
or Cuban independence. The monitors are quietly
awaiting at SU Thomas the conclusion of the pur
chase, uud it Is said they are ready to start on
their mission or destruction at twenty-four hours,

vessels, which Include the Hornet, now lying at the
Philadelphia Navy Yard, will be purchased by Cuban
gentlemen an private parties and then transferred to
the Cubsn Government. In this way the interna
tional difficulties will bo got over. This arrange
ment meets with tho approbation of our Govern
ment. The Secretary of tho Navy has Informed
Cuban gentlemen who consulted him on the subject
mat our Government Is ready to sell vessels to any- ,
body willing to purchase, Inasmuch as Congress ha
by enactment provided for a decrease In tho force of
the navy, thereby rendering the sule of several ves
sels or war obligatory. At the same time It Is given
out that our Government will endeavor to prevent
the transfer or auy such vessels to the Spanish Gov
ernment. President Jrnnt Keep n. Vigilant Watch.
Says the Tribune ot this morning:
President Grant Is keeping a vigilant watch over
affairs In the Islund of Cuba. Notwithstanding
the conlidence expressed by tho Spanish authorities
of their ability to speedily suppress the rebellion,
the Government Is constantly in receipt of Intelli
gence which shows that the Insurgents have not
brought Into action all their available strength, and
it Is expected that the next two or three months will
Indicate something detlnite respecting the struggle
on either side, in the mean time It Is not the Inten
tion of the Government to interfere so long as every
demand made upon the Spanish authorities, where
our interests are Interfered with, is promptly ac
ceded to. Although the Government officials have
Indicated a willingness to sell war materials of all
kinds to parties who desire to purchase, no sales
have yet been made. The President has stated in
substance, that he believes the Spaniards have ex
hausted their resources in Cuba, while the Cubans
have much latent strength which will show Itself
hereafter in an effective manner.
The Cuban Ouention in Koaland.
The Pall t!a'l (tozttte ut April 21 says: The Owl
published the subjoined Information Irom New York,
and expresses Its belief that Is correct Since it was
received the assertions have been so far verified that
the Spaniards, having seized the Mary Lowell, which
was hovering suspiciously on the coast, and attempt
ing to communicate with the Insurgents, the Ameri
can Government have sent a large Iron-clod fleet Ut
demand her restitution. The Spaniards will (the
Oiri proceeds) no doubt make a brave light for their
possession, but it may be snatched from their grasp
before a tripartite alliance can be formed for tho
Joint defense of European West Indian possessions.
In these days thu fait accompli is a triumphant
answer to all remonstrance, and II General Grant
seizes Cuba it is more than questionable whether
England and France would make It a coaim belli, and
seek to wrest his prey from his grasp :
Grunt is now run mud on the subject of Cuba, and
will undoubtedly give aid in some manner to wrest
that island from Spain. Whether that would be
complacently looked upon by France and England
you have a better opportunity of Judging than I have.
But the complications which would arise might In
volve this country iu a war with the European
powers. The feeling against England und France
and Spain is being carefully worked up In Congress
and iu the public press, so as to prepare the people
ror the steps which Grant desires to take. He and
his Intimate friends ardently long for a foreign war.
This will not ouly give acquisition of territory, but
will afford ample Held for honor, and give u new
lease of power to the present administration. The
ente reeling pervading the high officials Is one ol
hatred or England, and or France in a lessdejrree.
In a day or two a yacht will leave here lor Cuba,
ostensibly for the purpose or a pleasure party. Its
real mission is to learn the exact condition ol uilalrs,
and to communicate with the leaders or tho Cubans.
The persons on board will ho Informed what to do
by the Government. The coast ot the island Is so
guarded by Spanish cruisers thut it Is impossible lor
lurger vessels to run in, and several expeditious have
been run off lately, uud failed In landing. The
Fenian organization is active, and in readiness to
move against the British possessions as soon as any
difficulty arises ; and the highest officers of the army
and navy look to a serious quarrel at an early dav.
With these views, you may look for fresh demands
on the Alabama question. Knowing what I do, I
forewarn you there Is a heavy storm brewing ahead.

The Troubles of FaulNFiudintr Writer.
Front the Uontvn Alvertincr .Senator Samiier'tt Organ),
May 1.
The Chicago Tribune in a recent issue calls atten
tion to a change which ncurly two months' expe
rience of the new administration has wrought In
public opinion. No other administration since the
first had come into power with a (inner hold upon
the confidence of the country. The good fortune
which hud followed the President elect to the day or
his Inauguration inspired faith in him, hearty, genu
ine and almost universal. His antecedents, and the
assurances or the few whom he admitted to his
counsels, gave ample cause for the belief that the
Government was about to be administered upon
sound principles, and thut his own pure motives
and unsuspected patriotism would be represented in
all parts of the public service. But "there has been a
change. Two months have pussed away, aud it can
not be affirmed thut we have u strong administra
tion. Its moral power has been frittered awuv
by small absurdities which, fortunately, have no
bearing upon the siucerity, truthfulness, or the high
purpose of the President und his advisers. We
doubt if there ever was au administration with more
good intentions at heart or less aptitude ror carrying
them into effect."
The Tribune speaks strongly, but no one will sus
pect it or speaking carelessly or with any other thuu
u loyul purpose. The change to which it culls atten
tion and the manifest causes which made the change
inevitable, have been more widely known aud more
earnestly talked about thuu the President und his
jiersonul udvisers will ever be likely to understand.
There are always enough to tell the King
the good things the people say about him ;
but the friends who ure willing to tell him
where he has been mistaken, and what acts of his
are calculated to impair his iutlueuce, und need to be
amended, are unfortuuutely not so common. But
the President himself, lu the course or his eventrul
and heroic lire, hu-s been in difficult places enough,
and has in hischuraeter enough or geuulne chivalry,
to know that no better service can be rendered to
him thun to poiut out the errors into which he lias
been led, und to show the way In which they may be
most speedily ami effectively redressed.
It is unrortunate that the task imposed upon a
new administration is to contend with the ravenous
birds or prey who look upou the publlo patron
age as their particular plunder aud the only ade
quate reward lor party services. It would, perhaps,
have lieen to much to expect that the President
should suv too them thut he could not enter upon so
delicate a task us tho reorganization or the public
service till the hungry brood dispersed uud left hliu
and those who were to be held responsible for the
proper administration of their departments free to
consider the merits of the applicants iu connection
with the needs or the service. That would have re
moved the chler difficulty. But the situution, diffi
cult ut the best, was complicated by the manner in
which the first important appointments were made.
For these the President wus ulouu responsible. He
made them without consultation with anv one, aud
manifestly from a sense of profound gratitude for
the encouragement ami aid the gentlemen selected
hud given him. Wo can speak or them with the
greater lreedoiu becuuse we have 110 feeling but re
spect ror them and a hearty appreciation of their
public services. To mention but one Instance, It is
munirest now thut a great mistake was committed
when personal trie ud.-diip was ullowed to dictate
the ilrst Cabinet officer, w ho, although he was not
expected to enter upon the duties of the place, took
advantage of the golden opportunity to put iu motion
the old muchlnery for the distribution iff patronage
which is the scandal or our service, uud which wo
(irmly believe it wus the President's intention to dis
card. How muny subsequent mistakes can be traced
to thut error we cannot say ; but II the present Secre
tary or State or the President himself were as free to
speak as private citizens ure, they would doubtless
verity the well-uuthentleated reports which have
been the subject or conversation and criticism In all
intelligent circles since this unwelcome task was im
posed on them.
Muny iff the appointments w hich the President
made by advice were not less untortiiimte. These
were crowded with sheer phvsleiil force through tho
opening which Mr. ashburiie left. They were for
the most part of politicians with a local reputation,
endorsed by executive committees ami members or
Congress, and girted with au Inlliillo capacity ror
"dingdonglug" their claims, as Senutor Trumbull
despairingly culled It, into tho curs of the uuliuppy
officer who hud to answer their demands. The
number of these is, perhaps, not larger than would
have successfully run the gauntlet, whoever had
been President, while the present pernicious system
is In force. But it is large enough to iiave moderated
to some extent the enthusiasm with which the new
administration was launched and to lead many
thoughtful and observing men for the moment to
look upon the venture with divided emotions.
it should, however, be remembered that these and
all other appointments have been made with the
dennite assurance of the President that If he railed
In his Ilrst choice he would not hesitate to make the
second or even the third trial. Tho time for thu
second trial In some cases will soon come, and tho
President will In no way fortify himseir more securely
lu the respect aud trustor the people wao seek ror
nothing but the public welfare, tuaii bj carrying Uds
MtfUTMica into cJXect.

'rmt the Chicago Tribune (Senator Trumbull's organ),
April 9.
Dnrlng the war tho clerical force of tho Govern
ment In all Its departments was greatly Increased,
and orten very recklessly. Temporary clerks were
appointed In squads or thirty and forty, and gene
rally tne offices becamo permanent. No office was
discontinued, but a constant. Increase of tho numlier
was kept up. Tho salaries also were raised, and
when the war closed there were at least 2000 civil
ians In Government employ, In addition to the force
employed before the war. There was no difficulty
In disbanding the army of tioo,ooo men; but this
army ot civilians was not to be shaken off. - With
more than barnacle tenacity they clung to tho pay
rolls. 1 lie most of these people, men and women,
went to Washington from distant Stutes. They were,
as a class, too la.y to 'am their bread by work at.
home, ami therefore went down, and. through their
representatives in Congress, were placed upon the
civil pension list. As a matter of course, they
resisted all ctforM for their displacement. They
constituted a lobby to defeat all legislutioii having
for Its object the reduction or the civil force to the
footing of a peace establishment, ami they were not
only successful In this, but they annually obtained
from Congress a special pension equal to twenty per
cent, additional siilury. During Johnson's adminis
tration the number of civil officers of the Govern
ment, not only at Washington, but in all parts or the
country, was. Increased. Neither Congtess nor the
Executive had the courage to dismiss the useless
officials. During a few months, while General Grant
was acting Secretary or War. he took the responsi
bility, as fur as his discretion extended, or dismiss
ing a large number or persons and or closing a large
number iff offices no longer needed by tip- Govern
ment. There was the usual outcry against the petty
economy or dismissing a few clerks tit comparatively
small salaries, but the most effectual answer to this
was thc bu t that the aggregate of expenditures
saved by the limited reform already Instituted was
equal to two and a hair millions or dollars a year.
The last Congress at Its last session was driven
Into rerorm by the Imperious demands of the press
and people or tho country. These thousands or
clerkships hud no other warrant or law than the ap
propriations from time to time. A discontinuance or
the appropriations involved a discontinuance of the
offices, and since the first of March we have wit
nessed the discharge or a large number or these
clerks. Several hundreds have already been dis
charged, and by the Ilrst of July the whole num
ber dismissed will have reached 1500 males and
females.
The Democratic papers are making piteous com
plaints about the hardships and cruelty upon these
poor men and women who have been dismissed, and
they ridicule the economy which exhibits itself In
that form. But the whole expenses of the Govern
ment are made np of small items, and the cutting off
of 1500 salaries, averaging f 1000 each, is an aggre
gate saving well worthy or consideration. The re
duction or expenditure by millions is exactly what Is
needed to reduce taxation, and no government can
palliate the crime or continuing auy man iu office
whose services are not needed.
RITUALISM EXTRAORDINARY.
(ulid of the Holy Cross Marvellous Doings
In Christ Church, New York Jorgeous Yeau
ments, Candles, and Utile Hoys.
The N. Y. Times of this morning gives the
annexed account of au extraordinary ritualistic
ecrvlce:
The Guild of the IToly Cross, a very HIr
Church Episcopal association, held a service
yesterday morning in Christ Church, Fifth
avenue, at which a peculiar ritual was observed.
The chancel was brilliantly lighted up with gas
and wax candles: while the rest of the church
was in comparative darkness. On either side of
a cross over the altar was a tall wax candle, and
two more were on the altar. A printed pro
gramme was given to all who attended tho ser
vices, containing the hymns to be sung aud the
following:
(Confidential.
"Cathnlio worshippers who may nttend the private Com
memoration of thu Guild of the Holy UroaB, are earnestly
requested to comply with the woll-known Catholio rules,
us follows : To bow reverently at the tforia. and at the
Holy Name; to remain kneeling from the Confession
throughout the serviue, only rising to commune, and again
at the hymn, 'Faithful Cross,' which takes the place of the
'Gloria t Kxrrtttiii' in the Post Communion Service; and
not to leave the church until the altar liglita axe extiu
uished, and the Guild have retired."
The orgunist played a voluntary, and chauntlng
was heard In the distance, and theu the vestry door
was opened and a procession entered tho church,
preceded by a little hoy carrying a cross ; arter him
came the choir and the clergy, then the officers and
fellows of the Guild, wearing long black gowns, and
chasubles, some of bright red, others blue, trimmed
with white, and grey trimmed with red j a lurge red
cross was conspicuous on the bosom of euch. The pro
cession pussed down the side isle und up the middle
aisle to the altar, and the members of the Guild oc
cupying the pews tn the body of the church. Por
tions 01 the regular morning service of the Episcor1 1
Church, accompanied with Komun Cuthollo forms
aud ceremonies, followed. At the conclusion of thn
litany aud the morning prayers, another voluntary
was played on the organ, during which a
second procession emerged from the vestry,
consisting of one little boy carrying tho cross
uud two others with long wux candles,
uud they were followed by three priests in gorgeous
vestments or cloth or gold, richly ornamented, with
black barettas on their heads. The priests read the ,
communion service, the commandments being in
toned, and the responses made by the choir. After
numerous genuflexions had been made before the
cross, a book was presented to tho chief priest.whlch
he kissed ; the priest who presented It then, preceded
by the boy with the cross, went to the reading-desk
und reud, or rather chanted , the Epistle of the day,
kissing the book at its close. A hymn was then
sung.
The sume ceremony wus then gone through with
with unother book, and the third priest chuuted the
(iospel tor the day. Arter this threo little boys en
tered, one iiearitig the cross, another the candles,
und the third the wine and bread, which were do
posited on a table at the side or the chancel, after
receiving the blessiug or the chief priest. The com
munion service closed with the usual liruyers.
A brief sermon wus then preached by one of the
clergy. After the offertory the prayer of cousecru
tion was oll'ered, followed by a hymn, whau tho
sacrament wus uduiiuistered iu the lollowiug or
