MONDAY, MAY fct, 1869. THE UAOOERTY CASE. Tim Hatfftcrty case, In Its various phascn, con tinues to occupy a large share of tlio iiUentlon of tlio criminal courts of this city and of the public. The time spent in its consideration, however, will prove eminently useful to tho community if the final result demonstrates that tho people are not powerless in their own courts. Hn;erty 1b a fair representative of a gang of outlaws who have too long set justice at defiance. They perpetrate whatever crimes they please, from petty larceny to the most daring burglaries, and from simple assault and battery up to murder, and then adopt a variety of devices to avoid punish ment. They resort, In the first instance, to the primitive plan of murderously assaulting any Dolicc-man who dares to arrest them. This is tlie common practice of desperate j scouudrels in rude and wild communities, where officers of justice are scarce and sympu- j Uiizcra with dashing rascals comparatively abuudant. But It is marvellous that it should be 1 so often attempted in a city which is not only j inhabited by many hundreds of thousands of j peace and order loving citizens, but constantly j patrolled by a large force of policemen main- j taiucd at a heavy expense. Let us no longer ! wonder at tho inability of the National Govern ment to bold in check, with a handful of troops, bloodthirsty savages who roam over plains thou sands of miles In extent, if, in a great centre of civilization, a handful of desperadoes can hold a thousand policemen at bay, and plunder, assault, and murder with impunity. The attempt to kill policemen deserves of itself the most condign punishment, and tho New York judge who recently committed a criminal of this grade to a life long term of imprisonment had a just concep tion of the nature of this crime, llaggerty, ar reted at last, in spite of repeated assaults upon policemen, first seeks bail, and although a large sum is fixed, his serviceable friends find a man of property willing to become responsible for his appearance. At the proper period for trial, however, the criminal does not appear. Meanwhile measures are taken to forfeit his bail, and as it is evident that the usual tactics will not avail in this case, the most important witnesses are tampered with, sent out of the way, aud now llaggerty and his bail, through their attorneys, are pleading for a speedy trial and a i'vlease of the bail-goer from his obligations! Tho arts of shyster lawyers aud the devices of bullying rowdies have been so freely and noto riously used to defeat justice of her dues, that thus has become a representative case, aud the public warmly approve the efforts of the District Attorney aud the Judges to prevent llaggerty and his ilk from giving a new proof that they are above and beyond the reach of law, and that peace, property, and life iu Philadelphia are at the mercy of these tigers in human shape. The public has become heartily disgusted with the combination of the lowest aud most questionable species of legal acumen and open violence which secures the immunity of notorious criminal from puuishmeut, by defying policemen, by terrifying, abducting, or bribing witnesses, by manufactured testimony or downright perjury, by professional boil-goers, by packing juries, or by the most discreditable legal devices and the most shameful perversions of the forms of jus tice. It is time that the practice of resorting to crimes even worse than the original offenses to avert punishment should be stopped, and we hope that in the llaggerty case the Judges will show no mercy to the criminal or courtesy to his counsel. The criminal lawyers who have acquired the reputation of being able to Bhicld violators of the law of every grade from punishment, in spite of the positive proof of their guilt, should be closely watched In the courts of justice, and coutined by the strictest rnles. No eountry in the world affords so fertile a field for their perverted and dangerous ingenuity as the United States, and courts and juries should ever bear in mind that they ought to be merciful to the community as well as to the cunning rogues who plead pitifully for leniency when they are in the dock, but who use liberty only to invade the rights of their fellow-men. The criminal lawyer of tlw lay are doing nearly as much harm ns the criminals. The professional successes upon which they plume themselves act as powerful incentives to crime, and the fees they receive for sharp prac tice are construed by thieves and murderers to be the price of indulgences for tho worst offenses in the calendar. Whatever can be done to punish the desperadoes of the llaggerty stamp, to mulct bail-goers who assist abandoned rogues to escape, to crush rowdyism, to prevent the abduction or terrorism of witnesses, and to have shyster lawvers shorn of their power, should be done; and the lesson should never go forth that the community can be rendered powerlen in its owu courts by the arts of pettifoggers c on joiued with criminal intrigues. WHISKY AND WAR. In the prosecution of one of the most gigantic aud expensive contests of modern times, the Government of the United States became bur dened with a public debt which, at the date of the last monthly statement, May 1st, aggregated 2,518,797,391. In the prosecution of similar contests during tho past half century, the British Government has achieved even a greater bless ing of this character, which, ut the date of the last statement before us, amounted to 777, 497,804, or $3,642,089,371. The accumulation of buc'u oppressive burdens are among the disasters whicli befall any nation which, through neces sity or otherwise, resorts to tho sword to vindi cate its real or Imaginary rights, or to . avenge Its real or imaginary wrongs. Great Britain professes to regard its public debt as a blessing in disguise, and makes no pretensions of attempting to mate rially diminish the principal, tills decrease ave raging only about 20,000,000 during the past five years. Tho United States, on the contrary, regards its public debt us one of the most grievous calamities which the Rebellion indicted upon the country; and although the aggregate amount has necessarily remained almost sta tionary since tho 1st of July, 18C5, there pervades the entire country a sentiment which demands the entire liquidation of the principal at as early a day as is possible an achievement which wo are permitted to anticipate when we glance at our vast undeveloped resource and the rapid Jiituc g our population,. Tho figures representing the aggregates of the public debts, of the two nations are so Urge that they are almost beyond the comprehension of the finite mind. How startling, then. I tho an nouncement that If the people of this country wero to give up whisky-drinking for less than twenty-one months, and devote the money which they employ to drown out tholr wits to the liquidation of the debt, the entire principal would be obliterated from tho books of the Trea sury; while, if the people of Great Britain were to resort to a similar abstinence for a period of about seven years, a like result could be achieved in that country ! According to tho report of tho Hon. David A. Wells, the Special Commissioner of Revenue, the official and sworn returns of the retail liquor dealers of the United States show that the value of the liquors retailed by them over their counters, during the past year, and drunk when sold, was as follows in tfach of tho States: New York -il,61T,r0 Vermont .

Columbia 10,376,4.o Total Sl,43S,4l,8t Ilcre is a total of nearly fifteen hundred mil lions of dollars' worth of liquor drunk at tho counter in bar-rooms alone during a single year, making a monthly average of $123,624,323, and, estimating the present population of tho coun try at .35,000.000, nn average of $42 39 per year for every man, woman, and child in the United States. According to recently published statis tics, the money actually spent for liquors in the United Kingdom during tho year 1808 amounted to A102,88t5,280, or $497,969,595, which gives a monthly average of $41,497,460, and a per capita average of $17"78. We are inclinod to doubt the completeness of these statistics, since the con trast presented when they are compared with those of this country is almost too startling for belief. But it must be remembered that tho average wealth of the people of Great Britain aud Ireland is far below that of this country, and that the lower classes are consequently obliged to drink a cheaper quality of liquors, the actual quantity, in liquid measurement, being probably quite equal to that consumed in this country, in proportion to the population. An able Knglish statistician, iu commenting on these latter figures, estimates that the annual loss of wealth, in the shape of external riches measurable in money, to the United Kingdom by the consumption of intoxicating drinks amounts to i:22,880,280. or 1, 107,809,595, which in about three years would obliterate the public debt of the country. He arrives at this result by estimating the yearly loss of wealth involved iu the manufacture and distribution of liquors at A'53,000.000, aud the expenses to which the State is subjected by the crime and pauperism pro duced by its consumption at .73,000,000, which, added to the amount of the yearly sales, makes up the total of .228,880,280. These calcula tions ore certainly within the bounds of reason, and the principle on which they are based can be applied to the United States with equal force. The articles and manual labor entering into the manufacture of liquors are certainly worth titty per cent, of the retail price, which would liive $750, 000, 000 worth of tho various kinds of grains used for distillation, grapes, potatoes, molasses, and hops, together with the actual value to the country of the manual labor, if divined into other channels. The burdens to which the community is subjected in the pun ishment of criminals who arc incited to a viola tion of the laws by the inspiration of strong drink, the co.-t of maintaining drinking paupers and beggars at public and private expense, and ihe actual loss to the country involved in the idlene.-s of the criminal and pauper elements of the population through habits of intoxication, twcll the total annual loss of tho country at the expense of spirituous liquors to full $3,000, 000,000, or about $500,000,000 above the aggre gate of the national debt ! This is what whisky does for the world, and yet the world goes on drinking, and while human nature remains as it is. win iro on urinKing untu uie enu ot time, un less it should succeed iu drinking itself to death before the Archungel proclaims the day of judg ment. The Anti-Ritualists of Illinois are making a bold and determined effort to counteract the teachings and practices of the religious pauto mimlsts. A call for a convention has been issued, and on June 16th the representatives of the clergy and laity of the Protestant Episcopal Church of all sections of the country who are opposed to the unproteMantizing of the Church will assemble in Chicago to deliberate upon the subject. The circular of invitation contains the following sharp thrust at the ritualistic party: "A powerful party dominant In the councils of our Church, and fixing its tatu and character in the public, esteem, Is not only devoid of sympathy with the Protestant spirit of the age, but in many cases hostile to its amis, principles aud institutions." The call for this convention originated in a formal argumentative protest against tlio ritual istic practices, which bears the signatures of many of the most prominent Episcopal clergy men of Illinois. Their action in this matter w as doubtless Induced by the leaning of Bishop White-house, of the diocese of Illinois, towards the ritualistic school, as evidenced in his last convention address, an extract from which is published, in connection with effusions from other prominent advocates of the new-fangled uotlons, to show the tendency of their doctrines and practices. The convention which is to meet in Chicago will doubtless be well attended, and its asseiubliug will mark an important epoch in the history of the Protestant Episcopal Church of this country. Delaware, still sublimely indifferent to the reproachful gaze of the nation, again bowed down before her shrine on Saturday. A man who was convicted of an attempt to commit an outrageous offense against humanity and decency, but who was, nevertheless, acknowledged to bo of weak mind, expiated his transgression by standing one hour in the pillory, and receiving thirty lashes apon his bare back, in addition to an imprison ment of two years and the payment of a flue of $500. Confinement In a lunatic asylum would unquestionably be the proper disposition of his rase: but Delaware is nothing If not economical. a'ld hence lets the culprit off with a compara tively trifling term of imprisonment, just about long enough in duration to run up an expense equal to the amount oiuisnne At eight o'clock this morning the members of the Old and New School Presbyterian Assemblies, now in sesoion in New York city, met together to engage in a joint praycr-mcetlug This Is a good augury, and will inspire mo incuas oi a union bctweeu the two brauchce of the Cluircu THE FINK ARTS. . . Art K4nrntUn. . ' At the banquet given a ft w weeks ago to the Rev. ' William a Catteil, D. D., the accomplUhed President of Lafayette College, previous to his departure for Europe, the venerable -Dr. Samuel D. Gross, when called upon to respond to a toast in bohalf of the medical profession, suggested an Idea of so much Importance, and nrged It with so much eloquence, that It ought not to be allowed to rest alone with the comparatively few gentlemen who were present on the occasion, a very large majority of whom, tt Is safe to say, did not understand or appreciate the suggestion at Its full value. Dr. Gross Insisted that certainly ia no collegiate institution In this country, and perhaps In none In Europe, was there a chair of Esthetics, and then In a brief but pointed address, be urged with great force the importance of art education, Its humanizing, civilizing, and elevating Influences. A study of art, he con tended, was as important In Its way as the study of literature and science, and these different branches of learning should be made to combine in one educa tional Institution, not only to fit the student for the daily work of life, but, by cultivating a taste for the beautiful, to refine anil purify his Imagination, disci pline his faculties, and by a critical aud exhaustive study of the principles of beauty, as Illustrated In nature and in art. to lead him up to a higher apprecia tion of the ways of the Creator as made manifest In His works. Tho fine arts; as represented by the com prehensive term aesthetics, should bo studied In our colleges in the same manner that literature Is, and the one should be made to interpret and illustrate the other. 'We believe that we have stated correctly the substance of the argument advanced by Dr. Gross, and as the idea is pregnant, and of the first value, we hope that the esteemed Professor of Sur gery at the Jeflerson Medical College may be Induced to give the public the benefit of a fuller expression of It. It Is an Indisputable fact that art culture in the United States is far, very far, behind literature, sci ence, and other branches. One great reason for this is that art Is not taught In our schools, that we have no professorships of a-sthetlcs, and that we have no art schools and permanent galleries that will teach the public what genuine, refined, and noble art really Is. In Europe regularly and efficiently organized aca demies and the great public galleries form the cen tres of art culture, and to a certain extent at least, cor rect the deficiencies caused by tho absence of special Instruction In the colleges and universities. In this country we have no such appliances ; and while we have advanced with rapid strides in other directions, we lag behind In art matters, It is certainly time for us to be stirring ourselves and making some earnest efforts In the way of art education, and all the dis cussion that has taken place about the deficiencies of the fossilized concern in our midst which pro fesses to represent the cause of art education would be valueless If it had no higher aim than to encou rage a quarrel between certain very worthy gentle men and the artists of our city, or If It does not lead to some decided movement being made towards giving us a live Academy of the Fine Arts, that will compel the artists to come into its fold, anil with which none of them can afford to quarrel. The quarrel between the Academy and the artists, the squabbles about the hanging of pictures and the holding of art auctions in the Academy building, although they are all items in the list of charges against the institution, are In reality of very se condary importance, which should in no case be ul- lowed to overshadow the main question of art edu cation. Within the last twenty years there has been an awa kening in England on the subject of the immense Im portance of art education, considered merely from a commercial and industrial point of view. It was found Impossible to compete with other countries, and particularly with France, In any of the lines of manufacture in which the arts of design were called In to aid in beautifying the labor of the artisan, and It was a question between the establishment of art schools and the depreciation in value af a largo number or manufactured articles. The result was that art schools were established. and arc now being carried on with success in all the cities, towns, and villages of any importance, with the aid and under the auspices of the government ; and something of the same kind must be done in the United States, unless we expect to be dependent on Europe for everything that is elegant and beautiful in the way of textile fabrics, and the thousand and one articles that are used to adorn our households. The School of Design for Women in this city is a begin ning in the proper direction; but It is a mere begin ning, and although we believe it to be an excellent Institution of its kind It Is under the superinten dence of a practical and highly-educated designer, by-the-way its Hold of operation is necessarily limited, and even in that sphere Its means are too small to allow it to do all that its conductors de sire. What we need in Philadelphia, and what we must have, if we expect to see a well-trained race of Ame rican artists, and an educated public capable of ap preciating their works, is a properly organized and properly conducted Academy of i ine Arts. The pre sent Institution designated by that name Is simply a stumbling block and a rock of oilense. As long as it is carried on under the existing system of manage ment it will be practically worthless as a school of art, whether to the artists or the public, and it stands In the way of something better. The matter has come to such a pass, however, that If something is not done to reorganize and regenerate the Academy of Fine Arts, a persistent effort will be made to supply Its place with an institution that will carry on the work In a proper manner. The yurth Ameru-an, In a very odd article published on Saturday In reply to what appeared in Tub Tele graph about ten days ago on the subject of "Art Patronage," when we alluded to the young sculptor, Harnisch, and his Inability to find a purchaser for his statue, makes some statements which will Illus trate exactly the point that we desire to impress upon the minds of our readers. Our contemporary says: "For forty sil yearn the labor of trying to build up here in Philadelphia a school of liimre art has been patiently going on, and yet baa failed to make much impression upon oar artiata." And again : "No organization of patrons of art can be formed in Philadelphia at all approaching in social power or wealth that which baa ita representative in the present Academy. The artiata deceive themselves if they suppose that they can organize a more commanding body." The fact is that the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts has been smothered beneuth the weight of its respectability. Those who started it and those who now carry it on have been and are gentlemen of wealth and social position, and personally they are in every way entitled to our regards. The Academy, however, has been to them merely a plaything to amuse their leisure moments. They neither asked nor desire the co-operation of the artists, judging that the advantages offered in the way of the schools and galleries as places for tho exhibition would be sufficient to compel the profession to cling to their skirts. Why has the labor of forty-six years devoted to building up a school of figure art failed to make an Impression on the artists? Simply, because there has been no real and earnest effort made in the matter, and the Academy has been ruled In that dilettanti spirit that magnifies the im portance of the art patron by thrnsting the artist into the background. The patieiu labor of the Academy has consisted In Issuing tickets to draw and paint to the students, and in lighting Its class rooms in the evenings during six mouths In each year. Until the last season no instructor was provided, and when Professor Schusselo took charge of the schools, the attendance had dwindled down to such a small num ber that It was a question whether It was worth while to carry them on any longer. Art education cannot be conducted in this manner, and even such an accomplished artist as Mr. Schussele can do but a small portion of tho work that really ought to be undertaken. t The giBt of the Korth A inerU-an very curious arti cle, as far as wo understand it, Is that the tenden cies of modern figure art Is towards tho nude; tuat tho taste of American picture buyers runs in the direction of landscape ; and that those artists who attempt to run counter to this taste will assuredly fait All of these statements are substantially in correct, and It is certainly a surprise to hear that the objection to the "Cupid" of Mr. Harnlseh was Its nudity. It would require a stretch of prurient Imagi nation that we are incapable of to see even a sug gestion of Indollcacy in this graceful and poetical figure, and, with the "Hero and Leander" up stairs and the gallery full or antiques In the cellar, It la a singular plea to urge against the Academy pur chasing It The tendencies of modern figure art are certainly not towards the nude, as can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of any one who will look through almost any gallery tf art, or examine the works In the . various picture stores, and Page's "Venus" Is so de cided an exception to the general rule, that It must be ruled out of the argument altogether. American landscapes are preferred to figures simply because landscape art has reached a higher state of perfec tion In this country. This Is to be accounted for by the fact that landscapes that Is, fairly good land scapes that will sell readily are very much easlor to paint, and they are turned out by hundreds, as "pot-boilers,'' by artists who would gladly do something better. Landscape art, too, hns advanced, because the artists who adopt it are, to a certain extent at least, Independent of the Academies; they have nature before them, and It Is not with them, as with the figure painters, a question of opportunities for study. With regard to foreign works, ten figure pictures are brought here to one landscape; and good works of this class, although oftener more costly, will find a readier sale simply because the public, taste prefers them. The average picture buyer wishes to have something that will tell its story, and he Is seldom educated up to the point of appreciating the sentiment of the best land scapes. A rcgnlarly-appolnted art academy, under the direction of thoroughly-educated artists, is abso lntcly necessary If we are to have a rare of American figure painters who will worthily represent our social culture, and the academic training is scarcely less Important for landscape artists; Indeed, they must have such training to produce pictures that will vie with the classic works of the Old World. In Europe all the landscape painters of eminence obtained their training In the regular schools of figure art The Xortk A meriean. In a sneering way, says that "the professors in the art schools Inculcate the notion that the human figure Is the grandest of art studies." This Is perfectly true; and If our con temporary denies this axiom of art, It proves imme diately to any one competent to Judge In tue matter that It does not clearly understand whereof it speaks. It is in the study of the human figure, gthe greatest, noblest work of the Creator, that artists of all grades acquire that skill and de cision in drawing without which their works will never attain to the highest excellence. It Is in the study of the human figure, with its graceful modulations of form, Its delicate gradations of light and shade, its prismatic tints and half tints, its glow of color, that the eye of the artist Is educated, until when he goes Into the woods and fields the whole great book of nature lays open to him; he sees a loveliness In the works of the Almighty that are hidden from the common observer, and which it is necessary he should see If he Is to throw anything of poetry or sentiment on his canvas, or give an interpretation by the outward and visible signs of that inward and spiritual grace which makes poetry and art the handmaidens of religion. This subject is not merely a question between the artists of Philadelphia and the Pennsylvania Acade my of Fine Arts, but it is one that the public Is really more interested in than cither. We hope that the XtH-th A meriran will not be discouraged because we demolish Its carefully selected arguments. The matter Is one that ought to have a thorough discus sion in all Its points and hearings, and we are pleased to believe that an Interest has been excited which Is likely to lead to important results. We regret that we cannot think well of our contemporary's proposition to raise by subscription u fund to offer a series of prizes for the best works of ligurc art by resident Philadelphia artists. This would be a matter of but transient Interest and of doubtful utility, and it could have no permanent effect as a stimulus. If any money can be raised it had better be devoted to the cause of art education, and we have not the slightest doubt in the world that If the Academy should prove itself worthy of the respect and confidence of tho public by completely reorganizing its way of doing basiness, It could without material dlftleulty obtain all tho money it wants. As it is managed at present, there is not the slightest possibility that It will ever get any endowment or material aid of any kind. SPECIAL NOTICES. , DR.
