The p-nernl inlloiii presented to those who have ever studied its management is to reconcile the advantages of an excellent education and some disadvantages oi a school lite of cMitor ten rears within walls, with the cicritinv of hard work to which the graduate apprentice is committed after leaving them. Jour or five years hack the directors of the col lege, thinkiiii; that a great deal of study, less iilay, and no work, niiuht make the future ap prentices still no better than poor boys, caught vaguely at the idea of tui'nini; their school in jiart into a workshop. The experiment of tlio workshop, begun wholesale, was both overdone and underdone. nd never led to very direct or remarkable results, so far as wc are aware. The iirard boys were schooled every day to the full extent of "the long hours then, if not still, pre ucribed for the schools of yuakerdom. Hence the labor principle must have worked unsatis iactorily for scholars, though it must hnvc been excellent for graduates or untouchable pupils waiting to get places. .Some of them set type, some hoed out garden weeds, some raked hay, or planted vegetables; others could make shoes nr soap. Time was when tho Girard boys, in expectation of apprenticeship, took very gene Tally, and even with liking, to agriculture, such :is is afforded within the forty acres which be long to the college bounds. A more general teaching of technology and the use of ma chines had been introduced to an appreciable extent. Professor Stephens, noteworthy for what good lie has in former days essayed to do the institu tion, was in the habit of taking his pupils into all tho Schuylkill factories, and often taught Ihem botany ou the way to au iron-foundry. The practical system was eucouraged and stimu lated by President Allen, a well-known and able educator, qulto in identity with any success the tollegc has achieved as at least a well-ordered institution, and it is possible that he still gives 3t au earnest and intelligent countenance. Wc Jiave no notion that the work-a-day plan can bo readily divided up with schooling. It is best Hint what may be called the labor culture should lie applied only to the advanced and somewhat developed pupils who have a particular interest in understanding a little of the world's work shop before they go to bear a hand in it. A Girard boy enters the world at from fourteen to sixteen or seventeen; and hence whatever work is taught his young arms had better come to wards the end bf his collegiate term. Wc have at hand an echo of the complaint made by a few of the Philadelphia journals that the college has been badly mismanaged of late. Of this we are far from being so sure as we are that the present head of the institution enjoys the wide respect and esteem of its graduates and friends. The college has had two parties of foes. First, were the so-called natural heirs of Stephen Girard, a dangerous crew in all proba bility, who cared little for the shrewd, kind old money-maker when he was poor, and who were handsomely- cut off by him with $10,000 apiece. Second, were Girard's other bad heirs, a class of politicians into whose hands public bequests are apt to fall in the accidents of polities, and who arc supposed to be pilfering tho estate of the college s founder. The institution, as is pretty well known, is controlled by the city govern ment, in accordance with provisions of the bene volent Frenchman's will. Wc ought to say that the Philadelphia manage ment is candidlv pure compared to what it would be if our own aldermen had their hands upon its purse-strings. Nor are we certain that tho charges made against the direction of the Girard funds arc in any way so plausible as those which might have bceu made years ago, when the De mocratic party managed that great trust iu their owu bliud, bad way. We have heard that a dou ble saving has been effected for the revenues of the institution wider their presenthandling; and, though wo conceive It to bo a great shame that an institution of the importance and saeredness of Girard College should bo at the mercy ofjxili tics, still, matters might be worsethan they are now. Tho college is in charge of the worthiest President it ever haft. This is especially why we are surprised at the attacks just made upon its domestic management. Judge Allison, the other day, charged his trand jury that it was their duty to investigate rigidly the conduct of tho public institutions; and wo heartily trust that they will be less lazy and stupid than some grand juries witiuu easy memory. But the testimony which the Judge repents that delinquent Girard boys are kept in "filthy dens," which one Mr. Home says are not fit for dogs, and are otherwise deprived of com forts the absence of which is nightmare and de spair to the heart of shivering small boys.strikes us as a shade sensational. Indeed, this testimony at best, if altogether true, belongs to a period three years back, when Democrats were the mal administrators of Girard's bounty. It Is unfair, then, if not a little unscrupulous, in tho Phila delphia Judge to quote it as a fact iu any exist ing circumstances. There has never bocu any reason to suppose that the college, upon the whole humanely and well-meaningly if some times hlunderiugly managed, has had even a re mote resemblance to the. Dotheboys Hall im mortalized by Dickens. The character of its graduates Is In the main about os good as that of almost any alumni of the large popular schools. Among them are doctors, lawyers, chemists, engineers, army officers, bankers, brokers, editors, besides the commoner classes of tradesmen. This does not Bpeak ill for our present highly democratic civilization, "but it also speaks well for Girard College. We could have no objection to seeing this favorite aud sacred trust directed by ap pointees of the judges, under 6onic kind of legislative or gubernatorial check, or in any way that might be deemed honester and safer than the present plan. Wo would better liko to see It controlled by Its own alumni, one or two of whom are, by-t he-way, members ot the 1 hila delphia Councils, and who ought to know Us ..ii(i..r.Ht. wants. It is by no means impossible for a rather respectable city like Philadelphia to irivo a" institution in which it takes a proper fride something better than a general Puinble chook direction at the expense of the general Ki inti.lW't. and and welfare. At all events, no amount of added care and earnestness can work harm to the noble experi ment made in Girard College. The more teachers and governesses of zeal it can have, tho more !7.n ia fitrix'tlon can show In preparing Its pupils for binding out, the better for them and -.11 if iu .......mmihlvtiMiothut charity may defeat 5tself bv making tho benellciary too much used to dependence on benefits; but that is almost as f tli rmiiinon schools as ot other public ..i.:i.,...i.,.i.,a n.ui it. iirres us all tho more to i.ut earnestness and sagacity into our n ans ot education, and not to bo weary of we 1-domg because we lind a point at which the best-de- Vised benevolences may come iu a ii.ui-j want, perhaps, of that stimulant ot earnestness whercot we speak. IS IT WAR ? Pnnii IhA A V. World. What attitude has President Grant assumed in fit if rliuliutiv i! If Vi Knirl:ind ? If we arc to put trust in the representations of Washington correspondents of leading Kepub i ian journals, the President has taken re luge In the arms of Suinuer, and overruled the judgment il the Secretary of btate. The Time declares: "The precise character of these Instructions Is a nutter of much speculation here, ulthoutrh it is hardly one of doubt. Mr. Motley's seliliiiicnls on 1 1n- AIuIihiiih iiui'Mtliin lire known to lie ill uccoiiliilli e with the reeeul speech of bvmttor Sumner, und many Indications hiivn been developed within the last two or three (lavs which (ro to Klmw that the President and the .Secretary of state very nearly coincide, with the Massachusetts Senator." Tho Herald, which is at present tho organ of Mr. Pmnncr, says: That part of them Itlie instructions which relates to the Alubama claims Is understood to tie founded, siilistiintlHllv, on the speech of Senator Sum uer ho fur as material indemnity is concerned. Mr. Kls'i does not agree with the sentiments of Mr. Sumner with regard to a demand upon Oreat llritain for a niitlonal apoloR.v In addition to payment In full for damages to our commerce. He considers this would be treated by (Ireut Britain as equivalent to a decla ration of war, mid, therefore, would not 1)0 enter tained If presented by Minister Motley. Mr. Msli was scarcely In favor of going us far as Mr. Sumner In other matters connected with the Alabama claims, but the President was of the opinion that the people ilcinunded a tlrm pi 1 icy towards Omit ltrltaln on this question, and, tlierelore, overruled tho Secre tary." If our Government has come to the conclusion that England is the mighty malefactor she is represented by Mr. Sumner in his speech; if she w ilfully, deliberately, and maliciously connived nnd co-operated w ith the Confederate's to disrupt the Federal Union, ami so far destroy our Federal Government; if, to that end, she recog nized the Rebels as entitled to ocean belligerent rights, permitted Captain Uulloek to build and equip in her territory Rebel cruisers and launch them against our commerce; if. in a word, the British Government intended to do and did what Mr. Sumner describes then the United States cannot rest quietly under the insult and outrage to our national dignity. England must make atonement and reparation, or light. No self respecting nation would or could submit to such indignities as Sumner says have been heaped on the I'nited States. The only question is, has President Grant re pudiated Mr. Fish and gone over to Sumner and Motley? The price of gold will speedily tell what Wall street believes, and whether the Jh raid and Times are correct. DYER AND PORTER. From the X. Y. World. The case of General Dyer has just been settled in Washington by a handsome and complete acquittal ot tho accused upon every one of the charges preferred against him. This is not only an acquittal of General Dyer, it is a conviction of the "Joi'it Committee of Congress on Ord nance" by which the charges, now dismissed as both baseless and base, were preferred against him. That committee made its charges under the influence or, as we may more triity say, at the dictation of Benjamin t Butler. To gratify the personal spite of this bad man, his colleagues were found willing to throw as much obloquy as an Indictment of corruption by them could throw upon the reputation of a veteran officer who had served his country for a lifetime with out fear and without reproach. Fortunately for General Dyer, his case has been investigated in a time of peace and when the angry passions of the war had cooled. Ho has thus found the justice which assuredly he would never have met with had his trial taken place while a Stan ton shook the shadow of his Turkish beard over the War Office, and played the Rashaw unhindered with the lives and liberties of free born men. Now that daylight is dawning, what has Presi dent Grunt to say of the case of General Fitz Jolm Porter? It is not General Porter, but President Grant, who will bo put ou trial before the bar of history if lie, a soldier, suffers tho term of his Presidency to slip by without order ing a soldier's due of honest Investigation and impartial inquiry to be meted out to a fellow soldier most foully wronged whatever be the truth about the substance of bis conduct in the form of the iiniuisition to which ho was sub jected and by which he was robbed of the imme diate jewel of a soldier's name. THREE MONTHS OF GENERAL GRANT. From tlie X. Y. Herald. It is easy enough to say that Grant is a failure, and perhaps from this very ease many have hastily said it. Are the facts such that men must say it after deliberate thought? It is at least quite certain that Grant's decadouce in one sense is clear; he is not what the people fondly thought him; he does not realize the generous national expectation of his career, and hence he has fallen from that height which popular estimation had accorded as justly his. Rut is it not possible that the people iu their enthusiasm placed him at a point that no man would seem to lit when looked at in cooler moments ? Did we not expect too much of him ? Did we not in one humor expect him to do things that in another humor and with our jealousy of one-man power we even would permit no man to do? It is an old fault of the world that it exaggerates its heroes, and theu contemns them that they do not coma up to the false measure. Here for ages has tho world been standing with folded hands before the grand conception of Marius sitting on the ruins of Carthage. Patriots and soldiers have accepted It on canvas and mused It in verse with peculiar melancholy, w ell, Marius never sat there at all. It was only a figure of speech. Must we then scout the old democrat altogether because he sat dowu many a muddy mile from the place we have pictured him sitting ? It is lor tins nation not to vote as a failure in any aptious spirit that man to whom it owes tho final success of its great efforts; but if he is a lailure, there is an equal duty pluinly to say It. But what did the country exoect of Grant ? It expected broadly the administration of the Gov ernment on new principles. It expected a re version of the primitive system that is, a revo lution against the office-holders, against a sort of political and official oligarchy, that in an immunity ot titty years had come to look upon the Government patronage as exclusively its own. It we consider only this point tairly. wc shall see that Hercules had but little to do by comparison with what we expected of our straightforward soldier. For what were the car nivorous birds of Lake Stymiballs, the mad bull of Crete, the Lermen dvdra, the Ncmeien lion and the wild boar of Euryniauthus but so many ideal types and ligures ot the lcrocity, recklessness, roaring, grumbling, shrieking, and tossing of the politi cians, mad for place aud plunder? Ae ex pected too much. Rut then it must be assented that we have got much less than wo might even reasonably have looked for. We have got nothing, and here it Is that absolute failure is obvious. Grant was relied upon to do all, be cause in his whole career lie had seemed a man of common sense, common honesty, and reso lute purpose. Rut his resolute purpose has be come puerile vacillation; his common lmnesty is nepotism, or worse; ami common sense is "the quality of all qualities that the administration is most without. Pressed to exclude the grovelling politicians troin offiee, General Grant was readv to meet inc puiuie view oi the necessity of such a course; but he immediately confounded with these grovelling politicians every public man w hose name had strong partv affiliations How great a blunder this was is seen in the retlectiou that in such a crisis as we have recently passed i.ii.M men uisposett to serve the country faithfully in civil life, and who were men of force, became necessarily party men. Rv the terms of his exclusion, therefore, he forced him self to a choice of respectable, good-natured nobodies. Can the American people bo per suaded that here is nothing between that ex treme und the miserable place-holders of the corrupt cliques c On ibis principle Grant's Cabinet was made. Di.wusied with tho result, he then lell into the other blunder of giving up his efforts altogether, and politicians of the worst stripe had a truer sweep than thev have had before this long while. lk.ru is failure. In a rude age of the world's history so simple a soldier as the second Caliph could remember that "the family of Omar had enough in Omar," and did not need ollh e. Ho could advise his successor, also, "not to prefer his relatives above all others." For a President in this ago to conspicuously indicate his indifference to precepts so soundly based In all views of public morality and official purity is a great error. We arc, it must be remembered, only in the third month of Grant's Presidency. Popular enthusiasm has cooled his disappointment. Aji tielpations of a vigorously lionet discharge of public duties have faded away, and the common laugh is at the ridiculous ami-climaxes of Grant's reforms and tho disproportion between what he lias done and what ho might have done. But the causes of tho failure so far are not in tho grain of tho man Ho may have been misled as to his own powers and fluidities, and tho praise of his reticence may have given him the notion that wisdom consisted in holding one's tonguo a notion that materially damaged tho constitu tion of the Cabinet. We still believe that there is in the fibre of this man what wo want to make a President of the right sort; but the President is nol there already made. Some of the great est careers of political history began in failure. Gtnnt can scarcely become so'hiughable a fl"-iire as that great genius of modern politics, thel'',m peror ot France, has been, and George Cannliv was once a great failure also. We shall be re coneilcd w ith the lailure wo chro liclu in this third month, if from this point Grant shall ad dress himself to his great duties with soniethin" of the energy and patient persistency he has shown in another sphere; for in that " way, but not ( therwise, he may yet make his Presidency a treat success. SICKLES AND THE 'TRIBUNE." From the X. Y World. W e did the irinune more man 1 nation in sim- posing that it might possibly object to such an outrage upon the national character as the ap pointment of General Sickles to represent tho United States In the Spanish capital. The ap pointment lias actually been made, and the Tri tium' thanks Heaven and the President lor the blessing in this handsome manner: "General Daniel E. Sickles, yesterday commis sioned I'nited States Minister to Spain, 'served his country gallantly during the war, aided wlt'i marked wisdom and great executive capacity in the reuon struction, and goes out to the liberal Government of Spain a faithful reitrexentntiee of the men who lutet jireuerred the I'nited staten a nation, and ijn.traoleeJL the ntieeesH of ri'iiililieun inititntionn in their litst nnd itrentent trial. To these qualillcations he adds culture and Hoeinl iiimhtien betUtinr the Htatiim; and, with the record lie tins mitdi 'in our hintorii, lie needs neither recommendation to the liberal authorities to whom he is sent, nor defense against the malignant de tractors he leaves behind him." We have italicized the most touching and ap propriate phrases of this truly beautiful tribute to a virtuous and noble citizen. How ex quisitely agreeable it must be to the thousands of respectable and reputable men who have "served their country gallantly during tho war" to be informed that the Tribune considers them to be both almost and altogether suuh as General Daniel E. Sickles ! And what a pretty contribu tion to the world's opinion of the great republic it is which the Tribune makes when it declares General Daniel E. Sickles to be a "faithful representative of the men who have preserved the United States a nation !" The two most felicitous points, however, in this unique com position are the homage paid by the Tribune to the "social qualities" of the assassin of Philip Barton Key, the "gallant" man who, after using his wife's confession of her shame to save his life, complacently condoned the crime which he declared had driven him madly into murder, and the graceful allusion of the 'Tribune to the "record' which this persou "has made iu our hfrtory." The Tribune claims to be not only the "gen tleman's newspaper" of the period, but the organ also of the 'intelligence and virtue" of the United States. 'Malignant detractors," of course, are unworthy of notice. Rut wc submit that the Tribune owes it to the rising generation to republish from its own columns for May, 18511, the interestingand characteristic "record" made "in our history" at that time by this model of the best "social qualities" whom it now blazons forth as the ideal "representative" of American intelligence and American virtue. Do (juiucey wrote a famous essay once ou "Murder con sidered us a Fine Art.'' The Tribune may and ought to mutch it now with a paper on "Murder considered us a means of Social Culture and Moral Training." JAMES FISK, JR., AND HIS LIBELS CITS. From the X. Y. Times. We see it announced in some of our ex changes that Mr. James Fisk, Jr., has discon tinued his libel suits against the Springfield liepublican and tho New Vork Tribune. What may be his motive for so doing we do not know. Whether he has concluded that his character cannot be injured, or that it has been so badly damaged as to be beyond repair, we arc not in formed. Probably, however, the sums for which he has sued those journals a paltry 6100,000 In each case do not seem to him adequate to the emergency. No such objection holds in our case, and we trust he docs not intend, for that or any other reason, to discontinue the suits commenced against the Times. We want those suits tried. They allege damage to his character to the amount of a million and a quarter a sum which, if recovered, will do something toword patch ing up his reputation, and may even bolster up his failing credit for a little longer. The amount claimed is certainly respectable. Bv means of swearing that he "resides in Massachusetts, lie has succeeded in brin ging the suit in a Fede ral Court not overburdened with business aud presided over by a learned, able, and industrious judge; and now that the regular theatrical sea son is drawing to a close, Mr. tisk, Jr., can find leisure to attend to the suit aud thus bring It to a speedy trial. There arc several points involved in Mr. Fisk's career, and especially iu his financial opera tions, which, for the information and protection of the public, ought to be thoroughly cleared up, and a libel suit affords tho best possible means of bringing tills about. The history and nature of his relations to the Erie Railroad the amount of bonds be lias caused to be issued, the amount of money he got for them, and what has become of it, are all points of very great inte rest to a great many people. In the various railroad suits that have been had, ho lias man aged to evade them aU; but iu a libel suit he cannot do so, nnd we propose to avail ourselves to the fullest extent, and for the public good, of all the opportunities which the law affords us for making the investigation thorough and satisfac tory. We shall have the opportunity, first, to prove the truth of everything we have said of Mr. Fisk; next, to show, by its relation to tho public interest, that it was "said with good and justifiable motives; and finally, that Mr. Fisk's character Is one which cannot possibly bo in jured by anybody, to one hundredth part of the extent he imagines it to have been injured by us. In the course of such a trial, covering so large a field and involving so many points as tills one does, we shall be able to show a great many things w hich could not possibly be elicited iu an ordinary controversy growing out of business relations. We protest, therefore, ngainst Mr. Fisk's dis continuing the suits he has commenced against us. The various little attempts he has made at bullying fir black-mailing us Into silence or ac quiescence in his view s and purposes are of no consequence, and we are quite willing to over look them. We do not propose to change our course of comment upon Mr. Fisk and his finan cial operations in any respect, or in the least particular. The only effect his proceedings can have will be to enlarge the field of comment, and sharpen the public interest in the wholo af fair. Rut it is greatly for the interest of the public J that the nuts should go on. Fisk, Jr., is a phe nomenon one w hich uie puoue ougut to under stand a good deal better than they do. The three-tailed calf, or the horned seal, was a com monplace, everyday affair by the side of Fisk, Jr. His operations in Wall street and elsewhere have been more curious than the performances of Aladdin, Blue Beard, and Signor Blitz put to gether, it will not do to let such a natural curi osity pass away, und join tho megatlieriu and Ichthyosauri of antediluvian days, without a more thorough exploration than "ho has yet re ceived. A trial, in a United Slates court, of tho suits ho has commenced, will give a first-rate chance for such a dissection as will leave nothing to bo desired. It ought to bo aiite-worteia, for tho sake both of the subject and of tho spue tators; so we 'icg Mr. Fisk, Jr., to lose no tune, but push tho trial forward as rapidly as possible. Ho will lind us quite ready for active operations. Bilt he must not be surprised If the parlies to the case, plulntift and defendant, should change places during the trial. WATCHES, JEWELRY, ETO.
