FRIDAY, MAT 28, 1809.
THE CITY TREASURER.
Thh people of Philadelphia have abundant
cause for congratulation upon tho efficient and
tmtlsfactory management of the city treasury
ndor tho udmlulstration of Mr. Joseph
N. Felrsol, tho present iiHuimbont. On tlid
Slit of December, 1807, the amount of
outstanding city warrants was $1,44'J,0!W85.
On tho I5th of tho following February Mr. Pelr
Bol commenced paying them, and continued so
doing until tho lt of June, public notice having
lccn given to all who held them that tho same
Would ho cashed on presentation. At this
latter date tho Registry ordinance, passed
in the preceding January, was put in
force. After a lapse of two months, the
City Treasurer advertised that lie was ready
to pay warrants registered from 1 to 1000. From
that date forward ho continued paying them at
Intervals whenover tho funds in his hands would
pormit.
According to the report of the City Controller,
the amount of city warrauts outstanding on tho
31st day of December, 1803, was !3,450,6(W"3,
showing a deflcioucy of that amount for the
year 1808, which would have to bo paid out of
tho receipts of 1809. The Koeelver of Taxes
advertised his readiness to receive the taxes of
1809 on the 15th day of February. The call was
at once responded to by our citizens. The re
coipta wore unusually large, in fact so large that
Mr. Pelrsol felt himself safe In giving notice
'that all warrants registered in 1808 would be
paid on presentation." No inconsiderable labor
and care - attended tho payment of these war
rants and the calculation of the interest on each.
Of those registered in 1801 there yet remain a
number outstanding to the value of about
$150,000, which, in accordance with the Regis
try ordinance, must lie in tho Treasury, there
awaiting the tardiness of tho holders, to the dis
appointment and inconvenience of more anxious
and needy ones.
The City Councils, on the 0th day of May,
1808, passed an ordinance requiring all holders
of city loan to present their certificates for re
gistration previous to the payment of the July
interest. It was soon made apparent that,
owing to the shortness of time inter
Toning between its passage and enforcement,
It would prove ycry Bevere, especially upon non
Tcsidente. It was feared also that, as originally
passed, it would, by stringent enforcement, in
juriously affect tho credit of tho city by creatiug
dissatisfaction among the bondholders. A sup
plementary ordinance was therefore passed by
Councils Juno 19, 1808, relieving non-residents
so far as the July interest was concerned.
In the fulfilment of the desired object of tho
ordinance viz., a correct account of the city
debt proper books for registry were procured,
and all certificates of loan recorded therein.
These books were then compared with the old
stock lodgers, to detect any errors which might
liave occurred. New stock ledgers were opened,
and the accounts of those persons only who com
plied with the provisions of the ordinance en
tered, with date of maturity of each certificate.
These accounts were then compared with the
July interest book, to discover if any errors
had crept into it, and the work was complete.
The books for the payment of tho July Inte
rest will comprise the names of such parties only
whose certificates have been properly regis
tered. In the payment of the semi-annual interest on
the city loan, Mr. Pelrsol has likewise made a
decided Improvement by opening two books and
paying at two desks. In this way, all confusion
has been avoided and despatch in the business
attained. Under his careful, orderly, and intel
ligent control, the operations of the treasury
have been reduced to a perfect system, and faci
lities for the transaction of its business multi
plied. As long as a Democrat holds tho posi
tion, we could not wish to see Mr. Pelrsol sup
planted by any of the numerous aspirants tor
the position in his party.
. THE PRESBYTERIAN REUNION.
A. tkbt important step was taken yesterday to
wards the completion of the efforts to tbo
' roughly reunite the New and Old School Presby
terian, Churches. The representatives of both
organisations have united upon a basis of re
union which was unanimously approved by tho
New School Assembly, and by all tho members
of the Old School Assembly in attendance at the
session at New York except seven. This plan
of reunion is to be submitted to the various
Presbyteries, and if it is opproved by two-thirds
of the organizations in each branch, it is to be
come the fundamental law of the reunited
Church. The unanimity displayed Indicates
that there will be no serious diversity of opinion
In the various Presbyteries, and that the work
to be accomplished hereafter is rather a matter of
form than an essential portion of the adjustment.
The two branches are to be made one under
'the name and style of the Presbyterian Church
in the United States of America, possessing all
the legal and corporate rights and powers per
taining to the Church previous to tho division
in 1838, and all the legal and corporate rights
and powers which the separate Churches now
possess." Past dissensions are to be ignored,
the publications In which prominence was given
to the former points of difference are to bo
suppressed, and ministers and laymen are re
quested "to study the things which make for
peace, and to guard against all needless and
offensive references to the causes" of tho division.
This action of the Presbyterians is highly
creditable to both branches of that denomlua
tlon. It can scarcely fail to promote tho pros
perity of the Church and to advance tho interests
t H.J.tUnUn nlllia hv Hill TldW vll'Or if. Will
Infuse into all Presbyterian movements, and by
the good example it will set to other sects which
are unnecessarily divided by minor Issues. There
is a growing disposition among all the Protes
tant denominations to affiliate with each other,
and this will be strengthened by tho consolida
tion of tli organizations which spring
from a common origin, and have no deeply
rooted difference of opinion. The burdens im
posod upon tho inhabitants in sparsely popu
lated communities by attempts to sustain two
churches whore one would answer every rea
sonable purpose has hithorta been very seriously
felt, and while it may be right to divide where
there is an lrroconcillable conflict about modes
f faith, It la unwise and ungenerous to multiply
fiurck orgaakatiottJ for trivial reasoai.
In this country, where lolut rollgtoiis free
dom exists, tho contrifugftl systom ha beon very
freely resorted to. Soots have multiplied wltn
wonderfnl rapidity, and many of the old organi
zations hnvo boon sundered In twain. Wo are
now beginning to feci tho reaction, and there
can be no doubt that, within certain limit. It is
much bettor for the followers of Christ to unite
than to divide.
THE REG I ST R Y LA W.
No honest voter, whatever his political predi
lections may bo, rati fall to read the opinion
of Judge Allison, delivered yesterday, sustaining
tho Registry law, except with pleasure. That a
just and equitable law of this kind is ncoded for
the protec tion of honest mim, tho experiences of
tho last elections sufficiently demonstrated; and
It is a significant fact that the only complaint
against It come from Democratic quarters. If
tho Democracy did not find It necessary to re
sort to fraud, a stringent Registry law would not
be more onerous for them than for the Republi
cans, and tho slight inconvenience that such a
law will occasion to voters who may not wish to
take the trouble to sec that their names arc pro
perly placed upon the assessors' lists, is more
than compensated for by the additional security
that will be given to tho manner of conducting
the elections.
Tho most Important feature In tho law Is that
which regulates tho registration of boarders and
lodgers. This touches the Democratic party in its
tenderest point; it effectually puts a stop to tho
practice of colonization, and it is therefore not
surprising that it has been most virulently as
sailed. There is nothing inequitable in this sec
tion of the Registry law. and Judge Allison's de
cision defines its meaning in exact accordance
with the spirit of tho whole act, tho obvious In
tentions of the Legislature, and the wishes of
the decent portion of the community.
As Judge Allison says: "No one is deprived
of any right by the requirements of the law, for
if there be qualified electors boarding at the
hotels, taverns, and boarding houses, ample pro
vision is made for their assessment. Time certain,
with abundant opportunity, is provided in the
subsequent provisions of the act, at which their
names can be placed upon the list and the tax
assessed against them." It Is very certain that
the Democracy will not lose a single legal vote by
this Registry law, but if it is rigidly enforced the
practice of colonization will bo broken up, and
tho roughs of New York and Baltimore will bo
unable to assist at our elections. It Is just hero
that the Democratic party finds the law to be
onerous, unjust, and unconstitutional; and against
it they have brought all their batteries to bear.
The clear, impartial, and strictly judicial decision
of Judge Allison, however, settles the question
as to the meaning of the law, and its propriety as
well. The outrageous frauds which wore perpe
trated at the last election rendered it absolutely
necessary that additional safeguards should be
thrown around the ballot-box and tho whole
manner of conducting elections. Tho present
Registry law was carefully drawn, anil if the
Democratic party is honest, it will bear no harder
upon it than upon the Republican. Whether the
law is the best that can be devised can only be
demonstrated by experience, and it is possible
that when it goes into operation defects may be
discovered which will require modification. A
stringent law, however, is needed for the protec
tion of voters; and all well-disposed citizens,
without regard to party, should unite in sup
porting the present enactment, and in assisting
to have its provisions enforced without favor or
partiality.
LUM11 AS AN OYSTER.
WnB wo perused the leader in the Morning
Font of yesterday, we supposed that our contem
porary had exerted Its full power, and "extin
guished" us as far as it was possible for It to ex
tinguish us. This morning, however, we aro
assured that such was not the case, that the Pout
did not handle us as roughly as it might have
done. In Bhort, the Post intimates that it was
"merciful" in its treatment, and now rejoices in
its reward. The Post Is "amused." We are, in
turn, truly glad that it is so, for, when we reread
our own article while leisurely sipping our even
ing tea, our conscience was smitten with tho
fear that we had inadvertently extinguished the
Post. But our contemporary still lives, and was
as frisky as ever this morning so remarkably
frisky, in fact, that it labored through another
facetious and frothy column, skimming over the
main question with its accustomed levity and
grace. And it expects us to be "dumb with de
light" to-day, because we are assured that it has
been amused by us. We are dumb as dumb as
an oyster dumb with delight, and speechless
with gratitude.
Dog-Dayb The New York Sun of yesterday
contained the following mysterious editorial
paragraph: "Attention! Does the young pro
prietor of the Evening Telegram want a perso
nal controversy with us? If not, let him call off
his dogs to-day. If he docs render one neces
sary, it will comprise Incidents of interest in
both hemispheres." Something more serious
than a libel suit is on the tapis. If the catas
trophe can be averted by calling off the dogs,
let them be called off by all means.
Yesterday, the directors of the Pennsyl
vania Central and of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne,
and Chicago Railroad Companies affixed their
signatures to a contract by which the road of
the latter company is leased in perpetuity to tho
former. Philadelphia is now in direct railroad
communication with Chicago, and has good
cause to be gratified thereat.
OBITUARY.
The I.nte Jiniien HuhIi, If I. I).
On Wednesday morning last Dr. James Rush died
at bis residence on Cliesnut street, west of Nine
teenth, after an Illness of only a few weeks. For
years past he had lived In atrii t seclusion, rarely If
ever lsgulng from the doors of his dwelling. His
books were his Idols; to these ho was devoted, and
unwilling to relinquish even for a day the Intellectual
pleasures they afforded. Though no longer encoun
tered on our etreets-a recluse in his home his fame
as a physician aud an author still lived In tho minds
of those who once wore his associates, or knew him
through his works. He was in tho oiahty-fourth year
of his age. His family name Is historic. You meet
it In the annals not omy of this city and (State, but of
the nation. Benjamin Rush, his father, was one of
the sljrners of the Declaration of Independence,
and the Hon. Richard Rush, his brother, occu
pied the dignified positions of United States Minister
to Franco and England, and at one time
was Secretary of our National Treasury. Dr. Rush
himself, in his early career, achieved a most exalted
and envluble reputation as a physician. As an
author, too, be took no mean rank. His celebrated
work on the "Human Voice" Is still regarded as
perhaps the most Infallible authority on that subject
His means were large. His lost act was of princely
munificence, In accord with the dispositions of his
heart and his literary tastes. The hulk of his estate
bus been left to the Philadelphia Library Company,
including an entire block or square of ground ou
Broad street, between Christian aud Carpenter.
Upon this broad site his will proposes tho erection of
a magnificent structure, all the details for the con
struction of which are specified In the document, la

ITI1R PINK ARTS.
Tfwt Aradrmy and It tiindcr.
The Academy of'Klne Arts has not been psrtirti?
larly fortunate In Its defenders; and In all the arti
cles whith have appeared In the Philadelphia papers
during the past fow weeks fn support of its claims
to the regards of the artists and the public, there
hasbeonsn evident want of knowledge as to the
real mertfs of the case, and an effort tn attract pub
lic attention from the main point to side issues
which are of comparatively small Importance. There
has been very little argument and a great deal of
apology, and an apology is a tacit admission of the
truth or all tho charges brought against the Institu
tion. Tho weakest cirort In this line was an article
which appeared In the Vcm on Tuesday; and If
nothing more forcible can be adduced on that side of
the question, the Academy may well exclaim, "Save
me from my friends!" Tho Vm enters upon what
Max Midler would term tho "pooh-pooh" line of
argument please don't make this "fon-fou," Mr.
Proof Reader which will do very well with those who
know nothing of the subject under discussion, but
which cannot Impose on any one who has studied
the facts and figures presented by Thk Tki.kokaph.
or who understands anything whatever about art
matters. Our contemporary thinks that the present
exhibition Is a good one; that the letting out. of the
galleries for auction purposes Is commendable; that
the Academy Is a well-conducted school of art; and
that appropriating the best places ou the walls to
foreign works Is a practice highly conducive to the
benefit of tho artists and the public. All or which
opinions the Yen, of course, has a perfect right to
hold, but the arguments which it advances to sup
port them will not bear examination. For instance,
it makes a statement similar to one we published some
weeks ago, as to the number of pictures in the present
exhibition by native and foreign artists, the number
of euch on the eye line, anil then it complacently
considers the whole matter settled limilly and for
ever, and oskft the public to decide whether the
Academy has not acted honorably to American art.
As much stress has been laid upon these llgures, we
very willingly invite the attention of our readers to
them:
Philadelphia
.New York
Other American...
Foreign
.141 (in the eye line .
15
Total '220 Total t;!i
We will premise that the present exhibition is no
criterion whatever. The number of pictures is less
than usual, so that there Is room on the eye line for
all that are of sufficient merit to entitle them to this
distinction. Besides, tho trouble of last year has
shinned the Directors Into something like justice In
the matter of hanging the works, ami this season
.1
some of the best foreign works are thrust to one
side In a very ostentation of virtue.
Bougucreau's "Arcadia," instead of being pit 1
in the centre of the room, where it properly belongs,
H put in a less advantageous position, as If to mark
the extreme anxiety of the hanging committee to do
more than Impartial justice, and Achenb;ich s "I'n
lestrina" receives even worse treatment. This is like
shutting the stable-door after the horse is stoleu, and
unless the Academy shows other and more decided
signs of improvement, its lute repentence will not
avail. A large number of the best artists have not
contributed to the present exhibition. They have
not refused to do so in so many won In, but they have
not contributed as tisuaJ, and the reason Is that they
take no interest in the Academy, and they have come
to the conclusion f lint they can exhibit to more ad
vantage elsewhere. With regard to the figures given
above, our renders will notice that out of 141 works
by l'hlladelphia artists, rw, or about 4n per cent., are
ou the eye-lino; out of 75 by New York artists, :ss, or
about 50 per cent., are on the eye-line; out of 15 by
other American artists, 10, or aiiout (10 per cent., an
on the eye-line; and out of 89 by foreign artists, '20,
or al out 30 per cent., are on the eye-line.
These figures are really worth nothing in the pre.
sent Instance, but It will be seen that the proportion
of good places Is in favor or other than Philadel
phians. We have explained the displacement or the
strictly foreign pictures, but an examination of the
galleries will convince any one that the vast mal
jority of them, tr not exactly on what might be
termed the eye-hue, are so near it that there is no
appreciable difference.
These questions of hanging the pictures, holding
auctions in the galleries, and othe similar matters of
contention between the Academy and the artists,
are in reality but items of secondary importance ill
the list of the delinquencies of the Institution, and
the main grievance is that the Academy is not
a school of art In any proper sense of the word.
Now, making all due allowances for the different
circumstances, the absence of extensive public
galleries, and other appliances which promote art
education in Europe, we would invite the attention
of the 7V and other papers that take an interest in
this matter to the following queries:
1. Is any other art ucademy In the world conducted
solely by a company of bankers, brokers, and mer
chants, who have no practical knowledge of art?
2. Is any other institution of learning whatever
conducted In this manner?
3. Can the Academy of Fine Arts making all due
allowances for different circumstances be put in
comparison with any of the European art schools of
similar pretensions?
4. Would any other art academy allow its galleries
to be used for auction purposes?
B. Would any ether art academy give up the best
places at its exhibitions to foreign pictures?
6. In every other art academy aro not the artists
eager to be numbered among the academician, and
so far from refusing to send their pictnres to the ex
hibitions, are they not only too anxious to have them
admitted, and solicitous only lest they should be
rejected?
7. Ought there not to tie In this city a thoroughly
organized art academy, which will educate our artists
and the public, and which will form the nucleus of a
great public gallery?
8. Is there the slightest hope that the Academy of
Fine Arts, Judging it by Its past and present per
formances, will ever be such an Institution ?
9. Is not such an academy worth making an effort
to obtalu.'even at the risk of sacrificing the im
portance of certain gentlemen who now figure ex
tensively in connection with the so-called Academy
as fine-art factotums ?
10. Is It not possible to obtain such an academy If
the friends of art who appreciate the Importance
of the subject will only exert themselves, and,
cither by force of public opinion or by bringing an
enterprising rival into the field, oblige the present In
stitution to do something ?
Here are certain deflulte points which cannot very
well be pooh-poohed; every man In the conimuuity,
whether he knows auything ubout art or not, can
understand them; and, without insisting on cate
gorical answers, we solicit an expression of opinion
from the frees, the Aw A merican anil other papers
who profess to think that the respectability of the
Academy of Fine Arts Is a surtlclent guarantee that
It Is possessed of all desirable excellences in other
respects.
In spite of the assertion of the 'rci to the con
trary, the present exhibition is the worst that there
has been for years. If we except Professor Schus
sele's "Ksther," there Is not a single first-class pic
ture, aud tho long array of names which are paraded
forth represent some lamentably Inferior works, and
a good many others that only make a meltable ap
pearance by contrast with the mediocre efforts that
surround them. As the relative merit of pictures Is
pretty much a matter of opinion, however, and as a
reliable Judgment is very dependent on the culture
of the critic, wo are content to let the Jrem enjoy
the exhibition, If It can without further comment.
