SMITH ON THE
A LA 11 A MA
QUESTION.
Js'orow r.HFi I. nation on tlieKlolel more anxious
to avert aft.irnntlc war than the United States.
Tlw rallying cry of the last Presidential o:in
pain wno, "Let us have pence." Tlic American
people nre strangely iiilsuiiilerntood by superfi
cial observer. It requires yearn of provocation
tu draff them into active hostilities. They fijrht
the Indians only becauso they cannot cultivate
their fields and extend their settlement without
tlrivimr off the savnites. They fought (ireat
Britain iu 1775 and 1812 mainly became she
warred against their Industrial interests. The
late wnr nrose from a desire iu the South to
perpetuate nn antiquated and iufamoin labor
system, and the .North reluctantly iook up anus ;
because tho existence of the ltepublic was I
ii,,.i.riilP(l. Orators tnnv fume Iu the Senate or
,.i u tnr vn. without irun beinr fired or ,
..... , I
limn of blood beinir smiled. Hut when a iron-
tier settler is massacred, and Ins neighbors be
come alarmed by the fear that they, too, will in
turn be assailed, the red men must beware!
When an overt act follows u long train of
insults and Injuries heaped upon a patient peo- '
pie, tho slumbering spirit of the nation bursts j
out, as it did In the Revolutionary period, after
Lexington: in the second war with Great
Britain, after the search and seizure
of our vessels; and In the North,
after the Rebel batteries were opened on
Fort Sumter. The people want nothing better
thau a fair chance to work, without being
assailod, or oppressed, or insulted, or wronged.
They are not lured away by vain dreams of
foreign conquest, nor prone to enter upon wars
of revenge or propagandism. They have reso
lutely refrained from interfering In the affairs of
other countries, and ask only to be allowed to
attend to their own business. They set tip no
pretentions like those arrogated by Great
Britain to rule the seas, and to greedily clutch
possessions in all distant portions of the world
with one hand, while, with the other, they are
setting bounds to the progress of their neighbors.
They never estimated more highly the blessings
of peace thau at tho present moment, while the
recollection of the late war, with all its attend
ant horrors, is still fresh, and while the burdens
of the debt are still pressing heavily upon every
tax-payer. And yet the whole Eng
lish press is teeming with endless discus
sions of the probabilities aud prospects of a war
with the United States because, forsooth, the
insulting and ridiculous Alabama treaty was
rejected, and because an American Senator an- I
nouneed that we did not inteud to be humbugged
by a piece of roast-beef and plum-pudding
diplomacy. Even Goldwin Smith, who, residing
among us, should have known better, luu fol
lowed the cuo of the London alarmists and fur
nished a new current to their tempest iu a tea
pot by writing from Boston to the British metro
polis that he holds himself "prepared for a turn
of affairs which would oblige English residents
to leave this country!" Aud, not satisfied with
this exhibition of timidity, lie has recently de
livered a speech at Ithaca iu which he gave
utterance to the foreboding that even now "the
Angel of Death may be setting his mark, with
unseen hand, on the door of many an American
and English home."
All this talk is either arrant nonsense or some
thing still more contemptible, an attempt to pre
vent by British bluster the newly-appointed
American Minister at the Court of St. James,
Mr. Motley, from entering into a calm and
statesmanlike discussion of tho existing dispute1.
The Alabama claims have so long remained un
adjusted that further delay is a matter of com
paratively littlo importance to us; and if Great
Britain can afford to allow tho question to re
main open, and to permit her own conduct du
ring the Rebellion to become an established pre
cedent for our imitation when John Bull's ox
happens to be gored, there Is littlo necessity
for any further discussion of the subject.
For years our Alabama claims were
scouted by the British Ministry. It was
only when the Fenian movemout showed how
easily the weapons turned against us lu tho hour
of our calamity could be employed for the cap
ture of Canada or the liberation of Ireland, that
British statesmen were seized, not with remorse
or regret, or a desire to do us justice, but with a
fear Hint the day might be near at hand when
they would be Imperilled by their own destruc
tive devices. They could well afford to pay us a
few millions ay, hundreds of millions to
balance the old account, and to restrain us for
ever from doing for tho rebels agalust (ireat
Britain the kind service they rendered to the
rebels agaiu6t the United States. This country
has Bought no war, and will seek none. It re
mains with Great Britain to close the present
controversy or to suffer it to remain open. If
her action was right and her conduct irre-
proachable, she has nothing to fear, for at the
worst we will only follow her own rule. But if
she was wrong, and is sincerely anxious to atone
for her Iniquity, let it bo accurately measured.
If your crown is cracked, and your adversary
proposes to heal your wounds by giving you a
farthing as damages, to prevent retaliation, he
adds insult to injury, and you sacrifice your self
respect Ly accepting his paltry compensation.
You should either play the part of the good
Christian aud forgive him freely, or if the
quarrel Is, as in tho present lust mm, an old
one, bear tho grudge iu mind and keep yourself
free to settle it in your own way at your own
convenience. Tho latter policy Is precisely what
Great Britain fears, and her journals and orators
are annoyed only because wo have shown our
unwillingness to accept her paltry shilling.
THE PJIESB YTEHIA N C1I I'll CUES.
In the year 1084 Francis Makcmie, a Presbyte
rian clergyman who came to this country from
Ireland, organized a church at Snow Hill,
Maryland. From this begiuuing has sprung a
religious denomination which at the present day
is divided into about a dozeu branches, each
with a distinct and Independent organization,
including lu their ranks 75J1 clergymen and a
membership, according to tho latest statistics, of
yj5,716. At various timiis divisions occurred iu
Hie denomination, the most Important of them
being that which separated tho largest branch
of the Church luto what are generally termed
the Old School and tho New Sclutol sections.
Tho schism resulted Loin a dispute concerning
the publication of the American Homo Mis
sionary Society, tho General Assembly of 1817
having adopted a series of resolutions con
demning the works Issued by this society as
tending to promulgato vlows which were not
altogether orthodox. Foil. of tho presbyteries
of the Church upheld the society and Its publi
cations, and tho General Assembly adopted an
other resolution exscinding or excommunicating
them and their reprosontatlves.. When the
General Assembly of 18H3 met, representatives
from tho four exscinded presbyteries pre
sented themselves, but wcro denied admis
sion. This action resulted In tho formation of
tho so-called New School Assembly, composed
of tho representatives of tho four excluded pres
byteries and of such others as sympathized with
them. The breach has become wider and wider
until the present time, when the membership of
tho New School connection, as will be seen from
the statistics ghen below, fulls about one-fourth
only below Hint of the Old School branch.
The lose of the great Rebellion witnessed a
general tendency among the membership of all
bodies, civil, social, and benevolent, us well as
religious, towards union. This lias especially
been the case among the various branches of the
Presbyterian Church, and several movements
looking towards a harmonious combination of all
these sections have been Inaugurated. The one
which presents the strongest prospect of fulfil
ment, and which is pre-eminently desirable as a
working busls for the final union of all the
branches, is the proposed settlement of the dif
ferences between the Old and New School con-
ncctlons, on a platform upon which both
I.,...
brandies can take a common stand. The Gene
ral Assemblies of these two connections arc now
In session in New York city, and it is understood
that a large Miare of their time and attention
will be devoted to the discussion of the terms of
union heretofore proposed, which arc givcu in
full in our news columus. The friends of reli
gious harmony and concerted action for the
moral and social elevation of the human race
have good cause to anticipate the best results
from the contemplated union, if it should bo
achieved: aud as the ablest and most influential
men in both Assemblies arc committed to tho
project, its prospects arc of the most flattering
character.
As a matter of interest iu this connection, we
give the number of ministers aud members in
each branch of the Church, according to the
latest and most reliable returns. The size of the
two denominations styling themselves the Re
formed Protestant Church, but known popularly
as the German Reformed and Dutch Reformed,
are also given, as they arc practically brandies
of the Presbyterian Church, aud there is some
prospect that they may iu time be brought into
the united fold. The names and extent of the
vaiious branches arc as follows:

If this grand reunion should be consummated,
the Presbyterian Church would at one stride be
come one of the largest and most potential de
nominations iu the United States, finding its
sphere of usefulness and extent of influence in
creased in a fur greater proportion thau the mere
nominal accession to its strength.
THE UNIVERSITY AND THE CITY.
Yi:sn:i:i.vv, in Select Council, after an animated
discussion of the ordinance to sell a portion of
the Almshouse property to the University of
Pennsylvania, which passed Common Couucil
last week, was deferred for three weeks. Thero
was a very vigorous opposition to the project in
Select Council, and we hope that before tho
matter comes up for discussion again, tho mem
bers will give it their careful consideration, so
as to be able to speak and vote upon it intelli
gently. The great bugbear with some of the
members appeared to be that in selling the
tract of ground to the University at the proposed
price, one hundred aud sixty thousand dollars for
twenty acres, the city would not realize
as much for it as under other circumstauces.
Leaving out of the question the duty of tho city
to deal with the utmost liberality iu a case of
tliis kind, wc believe that the amouut offered by
the University will be acknowledged to be a
fair equivalent for the land under existing cir
cumstances. As Mr. Smith of the Tweuty
sccond ward remarked, the opposition to the
measure was based upon fictitious values, and
there was no one to offer a dollar for the laud
until the University proposed to purchase it.
The very f;lct ' tue University having made a
proposition of this kind immediately put up
the value of the land, and Councils should not
seek to take advantage of the circumstance in
dealing with an institution of learning which is
an ornament to the city, aud which should re
ceive ull possible encouragement from tho pub
lie. So long as the Almshouse remains where
it is, the Blockley property will be depreciated
in value, and the location of the University
buildings on a portion of the tract of land will
be the first and most effectual step towards pro
curing tnc removal oi tuo Aimsnouse ana en
hancing the value of all the property in the
neighborhood,
A few years ago Councils agreed to give the
Pciin Squares to certain institutions fornothlng,
upon a very uncertain understanding that tho
public were to derive some benefit from tho
operation. Tho same objections that existed in
that case cannot be urged agalust tho selling
of a section of the land on the west bank of
the Schuylkill for a fair valuation to the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania, and it does not become the
city of Philadelphia to put itself in the position
of a land speculator in an affair of this kind.
The University has received very littlo eneou
ragemeut and support at the public expense, and
considering the important Influences that such
an institution exerts iu a community, the least
that can be asked is that the dealings of the city
with it shall be conducted iu a spirit of libe
rality. xuv .iucM.u.1 ... uie minds of some members

amount ot money that tne city will gain is a coin
paratively small consideration. Tho University
authorities aro exerting themselves with energy
to raise their Institution to tuo highest rank
among the colleges of tho country, aud tho citi
zens of Philadelphia aro immediately iuterested
lu their efforts. New buildings, with ample
grounds, have become imperatively necessary
if the University is to make auy decided
advance, and it 1 i80 neces
sary that they should be situated
within the limits of the built-up portion of the
city. The Almshouse grounds, which It pro
poses to purchase, arc of no particular use at
present, and they offer the only location suit
able for the purposes of the University.
It Is perfectly proper that Councils should give
this matter careful consideration and deliberate
discussion, and in the three weeks that will
elapse before it comes up again for considera
tion there will be amplo time for reflection, and
nn investigation of the subject In all Its bearings.

Sisck the completion of that Rrcat national
enterprise, the question which forms the
cHpilon of this article has been asked a hundred
times, and as many times answered bv dim-rent an-
ttiorlties In dim-rent States. npw York claims
(iecrRe Wilkes; Missouri claims Henton; Georgia
claims Toombs; other States claim others; and Gene
ral Sherman, In his despatch to General Dodge .pub
lished a few days since, claims for himself and
Messrs. Seymour A Co., of San Francisco, the honor
ol belnK among the first.
Now since so many have claimed the honor of pro
jectlnn this great undertaking, it mnv not bo out of
place for the people of Pennsylvania, anil, In fact,
the rest of the country, to know that to one of the
old Keystone's most valued representatives Justly
beloiiKS a position of prominence and credit among
the men whose names will pass Into history as a part
of the rramo work of this great national enterprise.
Georjre Wilkes claims that he, as early as 1S44,
wrote, suggested, and worked to forward the build
ing of a rallroud to connect the Pacific with the At
lantic. And In this Mr. Wilkes is probably correct,
but we Hnd no official record of the matter until
1846-7, when Mr. Henton, lu the consideration of the
Morse telegraph enterprlse.touched upon the subject,
and the question still continued dormant. On .lune
23, 1S4N, however, the Hon. James Pollock of Penn
sylvania, the present Director of the Mint, took hold
of tho matter, with a vigor which did him und his
constituents credit, and succeeded In having a com
mittee, composed of the following-named gentlemen,
appointed take hold of the subject:
Hon. James Pollock, Hon.H. Toombs, Mr. McClel
land, Hr. Hilllard, Mr. Dixon, Mr. Venubte, Mr. Tay
lor, and Mr. Meluy.
The committee investigated the matter fully, and,
guided by the enthusiasm of Mr. Pollock, submitted
a unanimous report favorable to the undertaking.
The chairman, in reporting the action or the com
mittee to the House, prefaced his remarks with the
following language:
"The proposition, at first, view, in startling onn. Tho
magnitude of the work lUcll, und the still greater and
more magnificent renal tu promised by its accomplishment
that ot revolutionizing morally and commercially, if not
politically, a greater part of tho habitable globe, aud nmV
ing the vast commerce of tho world tributary to ub almost,
overwhelm the mind. Hut your committee, on examina
tion, tind it a subject as simple as it in vast and magnifi
cent, and see no insurmountable difficulties in the way of
its successful accomplishment."
The report of the committee was accepted, but
owing to the many difficulties which presented them
selves (the almost unknown condition of the coun
try being one), and Mr. Pollock soon after returning
to private life, the matter was again permitted to
sleep In Congress. Mr. Pollock, however, continued
his advocacy of the subject, in private circles, and
in a lecture delivered before a literary society of
Lewisburg, is this State, made use of
the following prophetic language: "Whatever
questions may arise in your minds as to my sanity,
I tell you now that there are ladies here present who
will no doubt live to see the day that they will drink
tea from China, which shall have been brought to
their doors from the far-oil' Pacille coast by rail."
The other day an invoice of tea was received at St.
Louis which had been shipped at San Francisco but
a few days before. Thus tho language of the young
advocate was verified and his hopes fulfilled.
In writing this we have no desire to take from or
add to the record of any man, but are prompted by a
desire to give honor where honor is due, ami to
show to the people of Pennsylvania that, while the
people of other States may be proud of the part they
have taken in the great national highway, we, as
Peiinsylvanlans, are In no way behind the rest, hut
are fully up and, perhaps, ahead of others who make
a greater ado over the matter.

Spring Has Actually Como!
Sing! Sing!! Sing!!!
Of the Joyous Spring!
The air is filled with the myriad notes
That chirp from the birdies' tender throats.
And the opening flowers
And the leafy trees
Are wagging about
In the freshening breer.e.
The Msrkbird's note and Ibe thrush's song
Proclaim (hat Spring is coming along;
And the frog, In Ms muddy overcoat.
Grunts out his low, monotonous note,
And the growing hoys to their parents say
That they want new clothes this month of May.
And Father and Roys go, one and all.
To Korkblll A Wilson's GKKAT BROWN HALL,
And buy the One clothes of which we sing ;
For man and boy they are just the thing
For the present season of Merry Spring.
