THE DIRECTORS OF CITY TRUSTS. 'The procoodings of the Bonrd of Appoint moat, consisting of the Judges of tho City Courts and the Supreme Court, which we published yesterday, will, for several reasons, make it more desirable nnd important than ever that City Councils shall fully tost the validity of the act passod at the last session Of the Legislature, which provided for tho transfer of the control of all city trusts to tho proposed new Board of Directors. It seems that notwithstanding the valuable patronage conferred upon the judges, several of them doubted the constitutionality and justice of the whole proceeding, and that one, at least, finally withdrew, determining to take no further part in the action of tho hoard, while another refused to nomi nate a director. Any one familiar with ity politics will also see that, with a few honorable exceptions, partisan and per sonal considerations have controlled nearly every appointment. Judges, like Presidents and Councilmen, are "only human" after all, and it is not very surprising that they have looked after the interests of their next Jbost friends, or their fuglemen, or the men most likely to be able to grant favors, or tho most astute wire-pullers of their party. Government by commission has been grow ing in favor in Philadelphia, and it has hitherto been successful: but there is a vast diffreneo between the application of this system to tho affairs of the prison and tho almshouse and its extension to the City Trusts. The right of tie Legislature to de cide how Boards of Prison Inspectors and of Guardians of the Poor shall be chosen is un questionable, and if tho people feel aggrieved ly their action, means of redress can be found by withholding appropriations or other legis lation. But the transfer of the control of City Trusts to a board totally irresponsible to the people is at once a very doubtful and dangerous exercise of legislative power. The main matter at issue is Girard College and the Girard estates, but there are also a number of other legacies and bequests, and the aggregate value of all the property in volved amounts to many millions of dollars. Under the present system the control of this property is vested in the city of Philadelphia, and nothing can be clearer than that it was the intention of the testators that it should I forever remain vested iu this corporation, fcitepheu Girard repeatedly reiterates in his will his desire that the Mayor, Aldermen, and citizens of Philadelphia shall carry out his intentions;, he gave his property in trust to them, a .d to nobody else; and he expressed the hope that the people would be incited to increased care and vigilance in electing Coun cilmen by the fact that they were to exercise supervision of his vast estates. It is for lawyers and judges, rather than newspaper editors unlearned in the law, to decide whether the new act does not contem plate a fatal and radical departure from the terms nnd conditions of the bequests; but it is beyond all doubt that the spirit as ivell as the letter of Girard's will is directly violated. If the new system goes into operation, the people of Philadelphia will practically have even less control over the trusts committed to their care than over the property of private citizens. They will be directly represented only by the Mayor and Presidents of Councils three men in a board of fifteen the re maining twelve being appointed by the Judges, to serve during good behavior, which practically means for life, and tive of those twelve being appointed by Judges of tho Supreme Court, who are choson by tho State at large, and only amenable to a very limited extent to the people of Philadelphia. Power, wo are told, is always slipping from the hands of the many into the hands of tho few, but rarely or never has such a sudden and important transition been attempted. While it is possible that practical good may result from the proposed transfer, it is not difficult to see that it may eventually lead to terrible abuses. If Councils act unwisely now, their errors can speedily be corrected, but if a close corporation obtains control of the estates, which are rapidly increasing in value, it will be next to impossible to apply a remedy. While our Judiciary remains pure, pure directors may be appointed, but it we svAr follow the example of New York and elect bad judges (and this is by no means im possible), the day will not be far distant -i,an Uifl beouests will become the prey of plundering politicians. Nor is this the only danger. A more imme fliate neril is threatened. It is well known that Girard's relatives wage a perpetual war arainht the will; that every pretext that can I.a devised for setting it aside is eagerly fieized: that many lawyers and speculators have from time to time assisted in the prose mtion of these vexatious suits; and that they will make the most of any new ground for flm revival of these proceedings. It is a that Biinultaueous with Cunuun vv"v -- Mmir last defeat in the United States courts, which appeared to be final and conclusive, a i timiiM be passed which gives them a new cause for action. If n ,,. tii nenole ouietlv submit RUU i 1 w tn the transfer of the estates to a close corpo ration, appointed iu part by Judges of the Knnreme Court, thev may claim that the peo pie of Philadelphia, having transferred the control of the bequest to other hands, in the teeth of the express injunctions ot tne tes tutor have thereby lost all rights to the bene fiU accruing from the estate, and that it f fcOttll tfcoreitfrt) melt tfi nnturiU liird. The estate was given to us in trust, to hold and control, but not to be transferred to any irresponsible board or to bo placed under tho charge of any close corporation. If an effort to reform the management of tho Girard estates should result in the total loss of all the property involved, and tho heritage of the orphans should bo seized by tho parties who have long boen striving to clutch it, Philadelphia would bo forever disgracod, and the Directors of Trusts bill would be a permanent monument of tho folly and ini quity of Pennsylvania legislation. We hopo, therefore, that the law will bo probed to the bottom, not only in our own Courts but in the United States Courts, if possible, before Councils surrender tho con trol of the proporty. As William M. Meredith has protected the Girard estate heretofore, we hopo that, with the aid of his associate counsel, he may make assurance doubly sure by protecting it again from the dangers in volved in the proposed new systom. THE GETTYSBURG REUNION. Tiie reunion of the officers of both contend ing armies for the ostensible purpose of loca ting exactly the position of tho various corps, divisions, and regiments upon tho field of Gettysburg does not promise to be a vory great success. The first meeting was held yesterday, and tho occasion was chiefly re markable for tho absence of most of tho offi cers who signally distinguished thomselves during the battle. Since the invitations to attend tho reunion were issued, letters de clining have been received from prominent officers on both sides, who pleaded various excuses, and General Lee and other of the ltehel leaders supplemented their re fusals by expressing their disapproba tion of the whole proceeding as cal culated to keep alive memories that ought to be allowed to pass away. It is a sig nificant fact that yesterday only two Kobel offi cers were in attendance, and while other mo tives than delicacy and good taste probably prevented most of their comrades from put ting in an appearance, the fact that they pre ferred not to come is rather to their credit than otherwise. The plea put in by General Lee, however, is one that will scarcely be admitted by Union soldiers or the loyal people of the country. The battle-field of Gettys burg represents to the Rebels the death blow of their hopes, and they would gladly forget it if forgetfuluess were possible. Wo are perfectly willing to cultivate cordial relations with the people of the South, and to allow tho bitterness and heart burnings occasioned by the war to die away, and it depends upon the Southern people themselves to say how soon bygones shall be bygones, at least so far as our social and political relations are concerned, bnt if General Lee or any other ex-lbel expects that tho scenes of the war will bo forgotten; that tho battle-fields where the great contest was fought out will leave any other than hallowed memories for tho loyal people of the nation, they are mistaken. We can forcivo those who attempted to destroy the nation, if they show a disposition to become good and patriot io citizens for tho future. but it is impossible to forget ither the Rebellion, or tho men who originated and carried it on. As for this reunion, it had a smack of humbug about it from tho beginning, and just as the great sea serpent regularly put in nn appearance every summer m the neigh borhood of the sea-side watering-places for the benefit of the hotel proprietors, so we may expect that there will bo an attempt to mako capital out of the Gettysburg battle-ground, bv ireltins up some sort of an excitement to attract visitors who fail to be enticed by the fabulous virtues of a certain mineral sprin that, by a singular coincidence, was disco- ered upon the field of battle, and which was immediately appropriated by a joint stock company for the benefit of humanity in gene ral, and themselves in particular. Tho most prominent portions of tho battle field are already known with sufficient accu racy, and unless all tho officers and all the men of both armies could be gathered to gether, it is not likely that any additional in formation of importance could bo elicited by the meeting of a few officers like that now iu progress. Of course, no particular harm is done by such reunions, and in all probability next summer some other device will be adopted to bring Gettysburg into notice by means of tho soldiers. Such reunions have their use, too, in advertising candidates for oflice, and it is important with more than one of tho participants just now to be kept prominently before tho public. What is to be deprecated is the at tempt to give a national importance to an occasion that is of very little national interest or value, and that seems principally designed to benefit the pockets of a few indi viduals. Tue Elder Weller cautioned his hopeful son to "bevareof the vidders." The warning has received a timely illustration out in In diana. A worthy German took unto himself a wife of the daughters of his people, but she had tasted the joys of wedlock beforo, and her second spouse no sooner found himself a married man than his peace of mind was dis turbed by vaguo fears that husband No. 1 would shortly turn up in tho rule of "Enoch Arden," to tho utter demoralization of the household. Ihere was no foundation for his fears, but he entertained them for all that, and so heavily did they press upon his mind that he did not even bethink himself of a di vorce, albeit a resident of the paradise of marital insecurity. So tho poor man drank whisky until he could not drink whisky any longer, and then varied the entertainment with a mixture of lager-beer, arsenio, and morphine, of which he also persuaded his wife to nartake. and tlio twain win uo mined in one grave. If this melancholy story is pro perly circulated and ventilated, there is not a widow in tho land whoso cnancos ior ensnar ing a second man to ruin will nut be damaged fully tui pet vent. TnK True 11f.mf.dy. A despatch from Washington states that a circular is about to bo issued in tho revonuo marine service which specially prohibits, under pain of dis missal, tho mixing of public and private busi ness by tho employes of that department. The object aimed at is the prevention of special favors to persons who possess, or are supposed to possess, influence among high officials sufficient to secure the promo tion of the clerks who take particular trouble to facilitate their business with tho depart ment. Every branch of tho Government is subject to tho injustice of this system, and the true and only certain remedy for it and a hundred other defects in our civil administra tion is tho creation of a civil service, on the basis of that in voguo in nearly every Euro pean country. Ismael Pasha has given tho Sultan amplo assurance of his loyalty, and so the war cloud in tho East blows over for tho present. But for all that, tho relations between the Sultan and tho Viceroy of Egypt are on anything but a stable basis, and the tiino is not far dis tant when a fatal and final rupture will occur. If the Western powers were to hold them selves aloof, tho Viceroy would soon pave the way for tho utter disruption of tho Ottoman diminion by throwing off the mask and tho Turkish yoke without dolay. All outside pressure removed, Egypt would be moro than a match for tho rest of tho Sultan's dominions, rent with factious and bristling with discon tent as they are. A Tress Ball is to coiuo off at the White Sulphur Springs, iu West Virginia, on Tues day of next week. Tho affair will bo made tho great event of tho season, and to insure its success such well-known journalists as M. Blacquo Boy, tho Turkish Minister, Generals Beauregard and Wise, and the eminently patriotic Jesse D. Bright, have been placed upon tho list of managers. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, and this Kebel conclave is just as unsavory, in spite of the presence of M. Blacque Bey and the disguise of a slight misnomer. The amnesty to political exiles by which the French Emperor sought to celebr.ite the centennial anniversary of his uncle's birth, has resulted in bringing some of them back to Paris. Such dangerous cases as ltochofort were not embraced in tho decree, and Victor Hugo will continue to scorn tho proffered pardon, as he has done in the past. Like nearly all Louis Napoleon's ostentatious con cessions, tho last will prove to bo a mere shadow, w ithout vital substance. METEORIC. The OlenllfU PlH-iioiiienoii of Iit Evening. About seven minutes after 7 o'clock last even iuir a very unusual celestial display was observed here by people who happened at the time to be gazing skyward. A large meteor shot from the northwest towards the north, taking a course slightly downward and then upward, in a sort of Ecrpcut form. Starting like a ball of brilliant lifrbt, it gradually increased as it sped along, leaving a bright, lustrous tail after it, very much like that of a comet, and finally bursting like a rocket, scattering jets of light from every portion of its circumference like what the pyro technists call a piuwlieel. What was somewhat remarkable about this phenomenon was the fact that long after what appeared to be the body of the meteor itself had disappeared the lustrous tail remained, now increasing and now diminish ing in brilliance, for at least ten minutes, when it commenced to gradually fade away. The time occupied between the commencement of the display and the bursting, as it seemed, of the meteor must have been at least twelve or iifteen seconds, and the whole time up to the dis appearance of the tail covered some tcu minutes. The phenomenon gave rise to quite a lively ex citement in the city. Inc people who wit nessed it gave various opinions as to its cause, some holding that it was really the expected comet which astronomers had declared would bo invisible to the naked eye, and others contending that it was merely one of those occasional luminous nebu lous displays which are known to occur at this season of the year, and which have little import ance in the estimation of scientific folks. With a view to obtaining some reliable information on the subject your correspondent visited the Naval Observatory, but found that no one there had noticed the occurrence, for the very good eason that no astronomer was on the lookout in the dome of the observatory at the time of the display. Ncurlv all the astronomers are out of town, not having yet returned from their expe ditions to observe the solar eclipse. warn. Cor A 1. lli raid. Omaha grows thirty houses daily.
