SELECT COUNCIL AND THE UNI-
YESTEBDATthe ordinance providing for tho
sale of a section of the Alrashonse property to
the Unirorsity of Pennsylvania oame up in
Poloot Council, and after an animated debate,
in which Home of tho participants displayed
more vigor of ntyle in thoir oratory than
Spundneas of logic or knowlodge of tho actual
requirement of tho case, the whole mattor
was indefinitely postponed. This is to be re
gretted for more reasons than one. Tho
Almshouse tract was almost the only placo
within tho limits of the city proper suited to
the purposes of the University, and if that
institution is to make the extensions necessary
to meet the requirements of the age, it will
either bo obliged to buy land at an exorbitant
rate, or else remove to a locality that will be
80 far removed from tho business centres that
its usefulness will be materially impairod. In
the opinion of disinterested judges, the price
offered by the University for the land which
they proposed to purchase from tho city was
a fair valuation; and the very fact of such an
offer having been made instantly put up tho
value of the whole Almshouse tract a fact of
which the city Bhould not Beek to take advan
tage in dealing with an institution of learning.
It has been a just cause of complaint against
Philadelphia that there is little or no public
interest felt in our institutions of scienco and
learning. The University of Pennsylvania
has been complained of time and again as
being behind the age; but one great roason
for its backwardness has been that nobody
outside of a very small circle cared anything
about it, or did anything to make it prosper
or give it a proper standing among tho groat
colleges of the country. A strenuous effort
is now being made to place it upon a proper
foundation, and the gentlemen who have tho
matter immediately in charge are entitled to
the cordial and efficient co-operation of the
public. Tho New England colleges have a
world-wide celebrity, they attract students
from all quarters of the globe, and they turn
out scholars that are a credit to the institu
tions themsolves, and who represent the scien
tific and literary culture of the country. Tho
great reason for this superior position of the
New England colleges is that all classes take a
pride in them, and public assistance is never
withheld when assistance is required; and the
same spirit must be manifested here if our
schools and colleges are to take rank with
those of other cities and States.
If the University had asked for a donation
of land, Councils might with propriety have
hesitated; but when a fair valuation is offered,
a reasonable display of liberality was what tho
institution had a right to expect. To hagglo
wifh the University about the price of tho
land, upon a vague calculation that if the
Almshouse property were divided into build
ing lots it might, under certain remote con
tingencies, sell for more money than was
offered, is neither just nor generous.
Tho cause of the Univerity in this
controversy has, we believe, been
sustained by every newspaper in
Philadelphia, and there is no doubt thta
the papers have accurately represented public
opinion. The University has made so littlo
tir of late years that it is not altogether sur
prising that some persons are not aware either
of its necessities or its just claims on the re
gards of the public. Now that it is being
carried on in an energetic manner, with a ro
solute determination on the part of its mana
gers to make it a credit to the city, it ought to
receive a reasonable amount of support from
the public; and the least that the city can do
is to sell it the land required for a price that
will approximate to an actual rather than a
fancy valuation based upon certain future
contingencies. We hope that this matter
will yet receive the consideration it deserves
from the members of Council, and that they
will bo induced to look at it in a proper light.
Tim BISHOPS AND TIIE IRISH
CHURCH DILL.
A Tjable despatch published yesterday morn
ing by all the city papers stated that the
Archbishop of Canterbury had advised tho
bishops to oppose the Irish Church bill in tho
Houbo of Lords. In transmitting the despatch
to this city it seems that the important word
"not" was oiiiilled, as all the New York
papers announced that the Archbishop had
advised the bishops not to oppose the bill. If
this is true, the prelate in question has more
common sense than we gave him credit for.
The English churchmen rightly look upon
the disestablishment of the Irish Church as
the first great step towards a similar move
ment against them; and as they are usually
conservatives anions the conservatives, a de
cided opposition to tho Irish Church bill was to
be .expected from them of all others. A storm
of indignation has been raised by the proposi
tion of certain of the temporal lords to dofeat
the. bill, which has succeeded in frightening
some of them into taking a more practical
view of the case. The interference ol tuo
bishops in a matter of this kind would excite
a greater degree of popular wrath than that of
the temporal lords, and it would undoubtedly
have the effect of speedily severing all con
nection between the Church and the State,
ousting the bishops from the House of Lords,
and placing them on tho same level with tho
clergymen of other denominations. The
Archbishop of Canterbury is a sensiblo man
if he advised against opposing the Irish
Chjurch bill, and tho bishops will bo wiso in
their generation if they accept un 1 act on tho
fduco.
SEWARU8 ICEBERG SPECULATION.
Sechetabt SswAnD certainly did not expect to
remain in office under any contingency after
the great Johnsonian administration should
happily come to a close; he probably did expect
that the Pacific Railroad would be completed
during the present summer, and consequently
he purchased Alaska. Why did ho purchase
Alunka? Nobody ever knew but himself.
But tho intentions of tho late Secretary of
State are beginning to leak out, and it is evi
dent that his brain was not wholly bomuddlod
by the intricacies of tho Johnsonian
policy, but that he was still able
to keep a sharp look ahead and his weather
eye open for the main chance. The mystery
of tho Alaska purchase is beginning to be
cleared up, and by putting this and that to
gether, we can begin to appreciate the ability
of Mr. Seward to guess at futurity and to ar
range his littlo plans accordingly. To be sure,
ho sometimes has made mistakes in his
guesses, as when ho guessed that the war
would end in ninety days; but tho carrying on
of tho war was not a more business operation
of dollars and cents, and it is consequently
exempt from general rules, and tho slight mis
takes of Mr. Seward should not prejudice his
general foresight.
Mr. Seward, when he bought our great ice
berg territory, evidently had a keen eyo to tho
main chance; ho saw money in it, not merely
for the indefinite American citizen, but for
William II. Seward in particular. We conse
quently see the announcement that he and his
family were in Chicago yesterday, en route for
San Francisco, whence they will start immedi
ately for Alaska. No sooner is the Pacific Rail
road finished than Mr.Seward sets out to inspect
our new territorial acquisition. What he in
tends to do then still remains concealed in
tho recesses of his own brain a diplomatic
brain, by the way, that has been trained in a
peculiar and difficult school of statesmanship
to conceal its real intentions. Mr. Seward,
however, cannot well conceal his movements,
as the eyes of tho nation are on him, and we
consequently have como into possession of the
fact that he is on his way, with all duo speed,
to Alaska. Does ho intend to prospect for
tho wonderful coal mines, gold mines, silver
mines, copper mines, and deposits of precious
stones, the praises of which were sung in such
glowing words about the time of tho consum
mation of tho purchase, but of which nothing
has been heard since ? or does he intend to
speculate in town lots, and aid in developing
the industrial resources of the region ? No ono
knows but the ex-Secretary himself; but the
probabilities are that he intends to go into
the ice business. With the aid of new and im
proved machinery, tho icebergs of Alaska
might be chopped up into cubical blocks of
convenient size, and shipped via the Pacific
Railroad to all parts of the American conti
nent. It will be seen that Mr. Seward has
purchased for us an immense ice-house, which
is certainly cheap at $7,200,000, considering
all things. As a private citizen, he has now a
right to turn our pxirchaso to any possible
account for the benefit of his own pocket if
he chooses; and as by utilizing tho icebergs
of Alaska he will develop a new and im
portant source of wealth, we hope
that success will attend him,
and that those who were not sharp enough to
see for themselves what the advantages of
Alaska are, will not find fault with him if ho
makes money by the operation. There has
been plenty of time for other smart business
men to start the new branch of trade, and if
Mr. Seward can make any money for himself
out of his great national land speculation, he
ought to have at least as fair a chance as other
men. w e nope mat ne win nna ine Aiasita
icebergs mines of wealth, for to all present
appearances any other mines there may be in
the territory are not likely to yield much in
our day, if they ever do.
TIIE CHANGE IN THE DETECTIVE
DEPARTMENT.
The genius of novelists, the talent of drama
tists, and the busy pens of industrious re
porters, have made a popular favorite of tho
modern detective. His skill and courage in
unravelling the dark mysteries of crime, and
in boldly confronting the worst criminals,
have so often been described that he is re
garded by many as the great moving power of
the day in producing the noble tableau of vice
bullied and virtue triumphant. It cannot be
denied tliat the art of tracing out the authors
of the gigantic offenses which from time to
time startle the community has made great
progress, and occasionally splendid exhibi
tions of detective talent are given. But we
regret that this branch of the public service
is, in some respects, lamentably inefficient,
and that in others it exercises a deplorable
und dangerous influence. It too frequently
happens that the general welfare is made
subordinate to the sordid instincts of the
members of the force, and that, in their eagor
ness to clutch the rich prizes of their
profession, they either neglect the pursuit
of ordinary criminals or form discreditable
and injurious alliances with the predatory foes
of society. After a fearful crime is com
mitted, even if it be a murder, the offender
is sometimes allowed to escape because a
large reward for his arrest is not promptly
offered, and when minor offenses aro perpe
trated the parties aggrieved have often great
difficulty in securing redress, if they are una
ble to incite the detectives to active exertions
by pecuniary inducements. There is also a
constant tendency to convert the detective
machinery practically into a shield for adroit
rogues, instead of au unceasing terror to evil
doers. The thief who steals a largo sum may
count with considerable confidence upon tho
prospect of condoning his offense by making
restitution in part, and sharing the balance of
Lis spoils with his captors. One class of
criminals are suffered to perpetrate inferior
crimes with impunity, or to t scape punish'
ment for past offenses, on condition that they
act as spies upon their fellow-criminals, and
give useful infonnation at critical periods;
while another class havo such peculiar rela
tions with some detectives that it i difficult
to decide, wq f y? the jackal j4
who are the liona in the predatory
warfare which appears to be maintained,
for their common benefit, against the public
The rascality of the rogues is continually ex
posed in the courts, and sooner or later they
are generally committed to prison. The pe
culiar characterjof their transactions with the
detectives is usually shrouded in the veil of
Bocrecy, but occasionally this veil is rudoly
torn aside, and then Buch hideous ex
posures are made that it becomos a
doubtful question whether the detec
tive system, as at present prcotisod,
does not in the long run do nearly as much
harm as good. It is dangerous to confound
distinctions betwoen right and wrong, to com
pound felonies, and to permit a few irrespon
sible mon to decide in secret, not according
to law or justice, but according to the dic
tates of thoir individual intorosts, whethor
rogues shall bo lot loose upon the community or
vigorously prosecuted; and the detoctives can,
and in some instances do, exorcise theso dan
gerous powers. Tho wholo subject dosorvos
more careful attention than it has ever re
ceived in this country, and there is aniplo
room for improvement and reform.
An article in our local column discusses at
some length various developments that havo
from time to time been made in tho Detective
Department of Philadelphia, and in other
cities much more discreditable things have
boon done by officers whose nominal duty was
the detection of crime. The cause of the dis
missal of the lato Chief of the Detectives of
this city was his retention of four-fifths of a
reward which, in tho judgment of the Mayor,
belonged exclusively to two men who were
actively concerned in an arrest. While the
isHue made in this case involves no moral
offense, it gives a striking illustration of the
eagerness with which the prizes and perqui
sites of the office are grasped, and of the ten
dency to convert the business of tracking
up criminals into a profitable pursuit, instead
of an organized and systematic warfare
against the enemios of society.
