THE BOARD OF TRUSTS.
JIoth branches of City Councils yorterJay
Rdontod resolutions antheming the employ
ment of counsel to test tlie vdli.lity of the
bow MU creating the Board of Trusts, onl
directing the otlicials who have city trusts
under their control to refuse to surrender
books, record, or real estate to unauthorized
persons.
The whole question will, theroforo, we pre
sumo, be thrown into the courts; and as it is
desirable that it should be exaininod in all its
bearings, the contemplated legal investigation
cannot result in any serious harm, and may
do much good. The donor of the principal
trust, the Girard estate, manifestly desired to
place the control of that valuable property
exclusively in the hands of "the Mayor, Al
dermen, and citizens of Philadelphia, their
successors and assigns;" and in referring to
the organization of the college, he said, iu his
will, that ho hoped that the nature and bouo
fits of his bequests coupled with the fact
that they would be subject to the manage
ment of tho municipal government, would
induce the citizens of Philadelphia to ''ob
serve and evince especial care an3 anxiety iu
selecting members for their City Councils,
and other agents."
The new law provides for an entirely differ
ent system of management. Tho Mayor and
Councils will have but three votes out of fif
teen in tho proposed Board of Directors. The
remaining twelvo directors are to be ap
pointed in part by the Judges of tho Supremo
Court, some of whom are not citizens of Phi
ladelphia. They are to f.erve during good
behavior, being subject to removal only by
the concurrent vote of two-thirds of the mem
bers of tho Board of Appointment; and they
will necessarily possess, for an imde finite
period, a controlling power, which cannot be
seriously affected by the views or wishes of
the Mayor, Councils, or citizens of Phila
delphia. Tho courts, instead of the citizens,
will, in the first instance, designate who are
to control the trust; but after the new board
is once appointed, it will be so far beyond the
reach of public opinion that its authority will
be well-nigh perpetual and absolute.
It is quite possible, and not improbable,
that the proposed Board of Appointment
would select men of superior character, and
that their administration would be eminently
skilful and honest, but if by any mischance
A serious mistake should be made in their
selection, it would be difficult and almost im
possible to correct it.
The main questions, however, will relate
rather to the legality of tho proposod change
than to the influence it will exert on the
management of the Girard estate and other
trusts. Has the Legislature a right to transfer
to the oourts the control of property left, in
trust, to the Mayor, Aldermen, and citizens ?
and, if it has such a right, will not. the sur
viving relations of Stephen Girard be fur
nished with new ammunition for the eternal
war they are disposed to wage against the
orphans whom he selected as his principal
heirs? A legal investigation may speedily
decide the first of these questions in the affir
mative, and the second in the negative, but
Councils have acted prudently and properly
in resolving to have the validity of the new
bill thoroughly tested.
WAX WORKS.
Sloanakeb A. B. Sloanakor "Judge" A. B.
Sloanaker has turned up again, and in the
wax works line, as usual. Let not our readers
think, however, that he has attempted to wax
himself into the favor of President Grant, or
of anybody else in these United States. The
"judge" is pretty well known in these parts;
so well known, in fact, that his waxy effu
sions are not held in very high esteem. But
abroad the "judge," we regret to say, has not
yet made his mark. Nay; we are incorrect in
going so far. To be exactly truthful, we
should say that the "judge" has just com
menced to make his mark upon wax, of
course in foreign lands. The Count Von
Bismark, a man who resembles the "judge"
in every respect as much as an oyster shell is
like unto the flabby mollusk which it incases,
has been selected as the first recipient of one
of A. B.'s waxy favors. This ia in the shape
of a letter addressed to the Man of Iron and
Blood by the Man of Wax, in the capacity of
"Resident Virginia Agent of the American and
North German States Immigration Society."
The New York Tribune, to which wa are
indebted for the resurrection of the "judge,"
strangely regards the letter as an "interest
ing" one, and, while laboring under this hal
lucination, prints half a column of extracts
from it. These extracts serve to display, ia
all their richness, the eccentricities aud i lio-
, syncracios of the "judge." He starts out
with the marvellous announcement that "the
Virginia agency of our corporation" whether
the "judge" regards himself as a plural, and
therefore refers in this sentence to his indi
vidual rotundity, or not, we are in doubt "is
an entire new field of operation for tho de
velopment of the enterprise." Not deigning
to advise the Count of the nature of this en
terprise, the "judge" here drops a semi-colon,
and plunges forward thus: "But I hazard
nothing" here one of the "judge's" well
known characteristics crops out "in the
assertion in doclaring that of all the corpo
rated States of the American republic" ear-
para ted States, we submit, are excessively
gopd, "none prosont a more healthy and
fruitful f (id in the ''r.t.jrost of Immigration
than d os Virgin!'.' At this point the
"judgo" expands, d enlargos, and grows
eloquent in his waxy fashion. "Its soil," he
continues, "climate, and rvBOurco, as wall
as its pop'e aid labor properly controlled
under Lcullhful laws" healthful laws are cor
tainly god "make it the equal of all, if not
the superior of many of the sister States of
the Republic." After meekly requesting the
Count to "please bear to his liege, his Mi
jesty King William, tho assurance that his
kind offices arc duly appreciated, extonded by
him in our" tho "judge's" "interests, and
that his kingly concession will be honestly
and legitimately executed by our" the
"judge's" "corporation ;" then comos
something rather rough upon "the excep
tional fools as a class," the "judge," of
course, excluded and finally a grand eulogy
upon "one of tho specifio elements of South
em society the negro, or black man." As
to "them" the "judge" hardly knows what to
say, "except it be to tkeir praise," and he
"fears not that they will prove thomselvo.i a
valuable and useful clement of socioty." We
might spin these elf g mt extracts out to the
length of a column, but a surfeit of wax came
near killing off the "judge" once upon a
time, and wo forboar to afflict our readers to
the death agony.
THE HOUSE OF L0RDS AND THE
IRISH CHURCH BILL.
As was anticipated, the conservative members
of the House of Lords, having been fright
ened out of their original intention to kill the
Irish Church bill outright, have fallen back
upon the old parliamentary trick of amending
it in such a manner that all its essontial fea
tures will be obliterated, and it will be practi
cally a nullity. The debate on this bill has
brought the House of Lords more promi
nently before tho public than anything that
has occurred for many years; exceedingly able
speeches have been made on both sides, and
the conservatives have put forth their whole
strength, without, however, convincing any
body but themselves as to the justice, expe
diency, or propriety of their course. Tho
emphatic manner in which tho newspapers of
every degree condemned tho Tory poors when
their caucus determined to defeat the
bill, succeeded in driving them from thoir
purpose; and the very plainly-worded letter of
Mr. Bright undoubtedly expressed the popu
lar feeling as to tho fate that would be meted
out to thoir lordships if they persisted in
their opposition to tho will of tho nation in
this matter. The papers have not been less
severe in their remarks on the subjects of the
amendments, and even tho 2'imes, which, as
a general rule, displays a genuine John
Bullish love for a lord, says very decidedly
that "the bill must become a law; this
session of Parliament must destroy Protestant
supremacy, and establish religious equality in
Ireland, but not attempt to set up a multipli
city of establishments." And the more radi
cal Morning Star declares that "the British
people have no right to indulge peers who
would deprive them of the right to be
just." It is evident that the Lords
have succeeded in placing themselves in
a very unpleasant predicament; they can
scarcely recede now from the amendments
that have been adopted, and it is almost cer
tain that the Commons, with the press and
public to support them, will not consent to
any material alteration in the bill, and that
the Lords will be obliged finally to pass it in
its original shape. The quarrel is a very
pretty one as it stands, and the upshot of the
matter will probably be that the House of
Lords, as it is now constituted, will be done
away with, and the peers deprived of their
hereditary privileges. As the House seldom
distinguishes itself in these times except on
occasions like this, by an obstinate opposition
to some important reform movement, such a
consummation would cause but few regrets
outside the limited circle of the peers them
selves. NAPOLEON'S EFFORTS TO REGAIN
POPULARITY.
The elections in France have evidently im
pressed the astute mind of Napoleon III wikh
the necessity of resorting to desperate expedi
ents to regain his popularity. Despot as he
is, he is not insensible to the power of public
opinion, and the past history of France ad
monishes him that if he cannot partially regain
the confidence of the inhabitants of Paris and
other large cities, he cannot hope to establish
his dynasty on a permanent foundation. A
short time ago he threw a tub to tho whale
by discharging the official who had superin
tended the vast improvements which have
been made in the capital. Now, it is rumored
that he contemplates a change of tho form of
government from "personal" to "constitu
tional." A letter is published in which he
expresses regret that he acted on a recent
occasion "without previous concert with the
majority" of the Corps Legislatif; and his
minister announces that "the Government
and the Chambers will always agree in oppo
sition to revolution." The Emperor evidently
feels the weakness of his position, and he is
doubtless ready to surrender a large share of
the autocrat io power he has heretofore exer
cised. Thk Armies of Echopk. A recent number of one
of the English magazines had a lengthy article on

The Hussion army has recently be.m rcorgmiy.cd
n the North Gorinnn system. An army of 703,000
Is drawn from a population of 6T,ooo,0O0; and in case
of war this force Is augmented to l.soo.ooo by the
revocation of furloughs. All men between twenty
one and thirty years of age are lia'le to military
duty, and 100,000 are conscripted annually. Thuse
are enlisted for fifteen years, but for one-half of the
time they arc furtoughed.
France hits a population of 87,800,010, from whleh
an army of l,0M,0fK la riiawn, of whleh 40.1,000 aro
regulars, 100,000 foot, SiS.ooo second reserve., an t a
;arde Mobile of 830,000. Kvery yenr lfll,000 men of
about twenty-one years of ago are conscripted, of
whom 70,000 are drafted Into tho ranks for live year,
after which they serve for four years In the second
reserve. The second portion of tho conscription,
to the number of 80,000, are allowed to go home
again, but they are drilled fur live inontlis during the
first two years, and constitute tho llrst reserve. Tiny
remain enrolled for peace duty, hwevpr, ten yeira
In nil. All the young men not conscripted are en
listed in the (iardu Mobile, which, in event of war, does
garrison duty. The entire armed force of Great Bri
tain, tncludlng that of Inrila, numbers about HS,0)0
regulars, 130,000 regular reserves, and 134.0J0 second
reserves. The first reserves, with the exception of
2000 regulars, is made up of pensioner.! and militia,
while the second reserve is made tip of 14,000 yeo
manry and 170,000 volunteers. Frem a population
of 89,000,000 there are annually recruited 14,000 men
for twelve years' service In the regular force. With
the exception of the pensioners, the reserves are
mostly volunteer organizations.
In North Germany about one In every 800 of tho
population Is conscripted, and the regular army of
800,000 1s maintained nt an oxpenso of $ s,000,0D0.
Austria conscripts one in every 370, and her regulur
army of sos.ooo costs fil. 000,000 p;?r annum. In
Kusfla one in every 660 lj conscripted, and it cost
her 1 1 or., 000,000 per annum to maintain a regular
lorce of 700,000. France draws one In COO, and
maintains her regular force 0 400,000 at aa annual
cost of 870,000,000 ; while Orcit llrltuin draws but
one In every 2000, and keeps a .'orce of 18,000 regu
lars at a cost of 71 ,000,000 each year.
The writer of tho article from w hich these sta
tistics are drawn Hatters himself that the compara
tively niall force of Great llritaln would be more
effective than the larger Continentnl armies, from
the fact that they are better trained In the use of
Improved weapons ; and to prove that the Continental
iroops do not fire as accurately, with the more
eil'ectlve weapons of our day, as the troops of the
early part of the century, ho recites the number of
killed and wounded In proportion to the forces
engaged in the following battles: At Prague a
sixth, at Marengo a fourth, at Kylau a third, at
Borodino a third, with the old-fashioned musket;
while at Magenta only one-eleventh fell, atSolferlno
an eleventh, and at Sadowa a thirteenth, with the
new rifle.
JOfltNAMSTIC. The American Journal of Mininq
has been enlarged, improved, and renamed as The
Engineering and Mining Journal. It ia a handsome
sixteen-page journal, printed on good paper, and It
presents an unusually attractive appearance. The
editors express a desire to represent the subjecta of
which they make a specialty fairly and without ex
aggeration, and they promise that the high character
whleh the Journal of Mining has obtained shall be
maintained In the new scries. The number before
us Is well Illustrated, and It gives a number of In
teresting and well-considered articles on engineer
ing and mining subjects, anil its merits will doubtless
be fully appreciated by the class of readers for whom
it Is specially designed. Published by Western Sc

story, the paper will as usual present an interesting
variety of reading matter sultab'e for the farm and

Gents: A persistent but unsuccessful effort was
made on the Dlght of May B9, 1809, to drill the
Banker's chest received from you a few menth ago.
From facts that have come to our knowledge, It Is
evident that the attempt to open It was renewed on
Sunday evening following. Finding all efforts to drill
It useless, the effort was then made to break the
lock. The hammering was heard by parties in the
neighborhood for several hours, but supposing It to
arise from the railroad men replaolng a defective
rail, excltod no alarm. The tools, with the exception
of the drills, were left. It Is evident that they were
not only prepared, but perfectly familiar with the
construction of your Chest.
That they failed Is another evidence that your
Banker's Chests are what you claim for them, Burglar-Proof.
Respectfully yours,
