i i Hi fx THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPHPHILADELPHIA , WEDNESDAY, OCTOHEIl 0, 1809. i i t The Philadelphia I.iln :iry. Io. 3. To In Editor 0 th Evening Telegraph. LWing institutions are best managed by living men; but there Is a strong propensity in old men, specially those who are childless, to attempt, in their last wills, to regulate the march of events long after they have bidden farewell to earth. It Is one of the weaknesses of nc, and Dr. James Rash's will exhibits strong marks of it. He lays down a number of "conditions, restrictions, and directions" relating to the new combined library, cemetery, and publication olDco. One of them is the following: "Fifth. I do not wish that any work should be excluded from the library on account of its dif ference from the ordinary or conventional opinions on the subjects of science, government, theology, morals, or medicine, provided it con tains neither ribaldry nor ludecency." In carrying this condition or direction into effect, the directors of the library should be obliged to place upon their shelves the writlags of atheists, denying the existence of a God, for a belief in His existence is an ordinary opinion; works advocating polygamy and free-love, for a preference for lawful matrimony Is an ordinary opinion provided only that these atheistical and licentious books contnin neither ribaldry or In decency, which may easily bo managed. Who would like to send a young person to a library conducted on such a plan as this? It would be come a very cesspool of literature. The committee appointed at or after the meet ing in June has published Its report. It Is a compromise report, proposing to accept the legacy in words, and to get rid, in great part, of the condition ns to the location of the library prescribed by Dr. James Rush, and which his most estimable executor proposes, very properly, to carry out. The Philadelphia Library is to be, like Sir Boyle Koehc's bird, "in two places at once." This, I think, neither satisfies the direc tions of the will nor the wishes of the sharehold ers. Suppose one of ns calls at the present building for a book, ho may be told that the library owns such a work, but that it is a mile and a halt off at the cemetery and publication house. By the aid of the street cars he can reach that point in about half an hour, if he can spare the time. The usefulness of the library would be greatly impaired by any such arrangement. Let us squarely come np to the point to be decided, and either reject or accept the legacy, clogged with the removal of all our books to so Inconvenient a location as Broad aud Christian streets. This is w hat Dr. James Kush expected us to do, and this is what we are bound to do. W. D. rmws suivixyiAivg. Cltr Affairs). At the session of the Philadelphia Library Company, held yesterday afternoon, with refer ence to the acceptance of the Hush bequest, Mr. Fraley ollered the following resolution: Resolved, That a vote of the stockholders be taken upon mch of the resolutions offered in the committee's report and upon the amendment offered by Mr. Phillips, separately, on this day two weeks, between the hours of 10 A. M. and 4 P. M., the vote to bo recorded by two tellers ap pointed by the chair, and that due notice of the vote be given in all the newspapers. Carried. Mr. Fraley moved that when the meeting ad journs, it adjourns to meet on the Thursday fol lowing the day of taking the vote, at 1:3 o'clock, noon, to receive the report of the tellers. Agreed to. Daniel Thompson, better known as "Blacksmith Dan," has been arrested in St. Louis. Information to this effect was re ceived by the Mayor yesterday. ' "Blacksmith Dan," it will be remembered, was captured in this city some months since, for the attempt ed larceny of suktrom a store lniiaricet street, and was committed for trial. Ho was not long incarcerated within the walls of Moya monsing, for a kind friend appeared before the magistrate who had heard the case, and was accepted as bail for Dan's presence in Court when desired. The prisoner, on gain ing his freedom, at once left the city. He will be brought to this city. Domentlo Attaint. Gold closed yesterday at V.H). The result oi the Connecticut election favors the Democracy. The fair of the Do3'lc6town Agricultural and Mechanics' Institute oponed at that place yes terday. The Cincinnati Base Ball Club ("Red Stock ings") were banqueted at Ciau Francisco yester day. Last night a suicide was committed In the house celebrated as the scene of the murder of Dr. Burdell. . A rumor that Judge Plcrrepont was about to resign the United States District Attorneyship of hew York is denied. A man named McClcllun, of this State was killed at Charlottcville, Va., yesterday, by trying to jump on a passing tralu. The apprehension that" the Spanish authori ties at Havuua would interfere with the United States mails from Cuba is unfounded. A new Conimaadery of Knights Templar, to be called St. John's, No. 9, of Elizabeth, N. J., was instituted in that city yesterday. One Hoppeusack, on Monday night, In New York, killed Jacob Schneider, of whose intimacy with Mrs. Iloppensack ho was jealous. The Blaekleet Indiuus, a year ago, murdered three wagon loads of, emlgrauts near the British mines of Columbia. Their skeletons were found recently. Kurcluu Attain. Nanoleon will soon go to Compeigne. " i A band of Republicans have been beaten at Murcia. The land lines connecting with the English cable on this side are down, hence the meagre ness of the foreign news. The Cortes last night were btill discussing the bill suspending the civil rights of citizen durirnr the lute insurrection. The Spanish town of Reus, which had de clared for the Republic a few s ago, has beeu brought back into the monarchy by ihe national troops. i KE1TBLICAXISM. A Alans JMccilnif of Id publican. An linmeuse meeting of Republicans was held last evening In front of (he Union League House. The building was illiuniuated, and a lino display of fireworks was made during the evening. Mr. Gibbons, who called the meeting to order, nominated Hon. William Strong as thu President. Before introducing Mr. Strong, Mr. Gibbons stated that Hon. George 8. lioutweU was unable to bo prescut on this occasion, but ' ,,1,1 Iwi In tlin fit v nil fulilri'SH tint Tiuiiiiln m n uuiu J w - - J - X 1 " .

We are to determine the best men by iAi'tnn t,aolr and snoinir wltot. tlnv h.ivA littun in luu&iu v " the past. Nothing can be mm o secure than a well-spent life, if a man has been true to the honor of his country aud true to the union of the country in the past, we may expect him to bt . i il,.i fninni Much a mun id nrnaurt fftrl fur uuo in mo ; yuur uiiis" . j .. ., be said of his competitor, wekuowthat Governor Geary has been true to the country, and has bared bis breast to the enemies of his country.

More has been done by his administration to check the abuse of special legislation than ever before, and our State debt has been reduced. In the light of these facts, how strong is the appeal to us to support the man who was true in the past and upon whom we can rely In tho futuro! We have also a Bnprcmo Court Judge to elect. This Is an Important duty. Every judge upon that bench should be of the highest order of Intellect and of tho strictest Integrity. If a mistake be mado by a judgo of tho Su preme Court, It is one of tho most permanent Injuries under our political system. De cisions, although erroneous, arc binding upon persons and property, and therefore the election of a good judge is of moro Import ance than the election of a Governor. Of both the candidates he said, with pleasure, that they were of unblemished character. Mr. Pershing Is an untried man, and there are questions com ing before tho Supremo Court with which he can have no practical acquaintance. He has no judicial knowledge, and on his election it can only be said that the people are trying an ex periment. Tho people of this Commonwealth cunuot afford to try experiments In tho selection of a Indirc. .InoVo Williams Is no untried man. We know what lie was in the past, and can . ... r . ' .

He knew tills to be the fact, be cause of his Intercourse with Judgo Williams at the time of this dispute. (Cheers.) In regard to national politics, it should bo understood that the success of tho Democratic party would be considered a rebuke to General Grant's adminis tration. In view of what the administration has done towards restoring peace and reducing the debt, he was sure that no man would be ready to vote for the Democratic ticket. Hon. A. J. Herr, of Dauphin county, was the next Fpcakcr. The Issues of to-day have been evolved from tho condition of affairs at tho or ganization of the country; these Issues have at times been covered by compromises, but the American ideas of the rights of man at last pre vailed. The Republican party saved tho coun try. It came into power with a bankrupt trea sury, but, with a sublime confidence in the peo ple, it filled the national coffers with millions of treasure. In the darkest hour of tho nation's distress the party never lost courage, and finally it burst the chains of four millions of men. If tho Republican party had no other record than this, it would pass into history blessed by all who love justice, truth, and equity. (Cheers.) When complaint is mado of the debt, It should not be forgotten that the Democratic party was responsible for the war and the debt is its con sequence. The Republican party, faithful In tho comp, has proven to bo faithful In the Cabinet. Within six months the Republican party hns paid fifty millions of tho debt, and has fostered and encouraged American commerce aud industry. Pennsylvania should not fall to do her duty on Tuesday next. If this State moves out of the line, wo lose all that has been gained in the past. If we lose the State, our opponents ealu courage and our friends lose confidence. If the Democratic party is success ful, there will be a new apportionment in the State, In order to secure control In Con gress, and that means repudiation. John W. Geary commends himself by his past record to the confidence and support of every loyal man In tho Commonwealth. (Cheers.) lion. George Lear, of Bucks county, the next speaker, urged that so long as the Rebels and the Democrats do not repudiato tho doctrines which led to the Rebellion, tho party must bo defeated. He reviewed the history of the De mocratic party In the past, contending that they hud done nothing to entitle them to be trusted at the coming election with power in Penn sylvania. Democracy has a foothold in this State; let (our battle on Tuesday next be de cisive, and put an end to this power. Hon. Thomas J. Bigham, of Allegheny, Gene ral Thayer, of Nebrusku, and others, addressed the meeting. Kheriir' Male.

A stated meetlug of School Controllers was held yesterday ulternoon. Mr. Robert W. Downing appeared as Con' troller from the Fourteenth section, lu place of jvir. liouerts, resiguea. The resignation of Mr. John A. Clark, of the riiteenlu section, was received. 'Jlie following resolutions were adopted: Whereat, It having come to tho knowledge of your committee that the study of German has been introduced into certain schools of the Fifth section, French and Elocution in schools ot the Ninth section, and Elocution in the Four teenth section. Wlwreas, Certain schools of the Eighth and Twenty -sixth Sections having beeu closed for the holidays belore the lime ot their vacation au thorlzt d by this Board, therefore, Resolved, That hereafter the grado of any Grammar School lu which studios not authorized by this Board shall bo Introduced, be reduced to that of a consolidated school. i Metal ced, That hereafter the Committee on AceouLts be and are hereby directed to deduct from the salaries of thu teachers of such schools as close before the tinio of vacation a proportional amount of said salaries. Agreed to A communication was then read, asking that the Sectional Hoards be authorized to make suchi cliamies in the time of the daily sessions of some of the primary schools, as will enablo them to test the merits of thu pantographlc method of teaching the design being to show that with tho aid of this system pupils will make better progre.-s if taught two hours In a day than they do make wueu taught live hours by tho usual court-e of induction. T lie Chairman of the Committee ou RovUiou of Studies submitted a long report, relating to tho question of uight schools, which euded with a recommendation that oi thu amount appro Pi'iutcd (iWHRll iWM) ha not. umirt for (ho cblab lishmentof a Polytechnic uli:ht school, at tho Centiul High School building, for tho benefit of mcchiinlcs. A motion to recommit the whole matter to the committee, and Instructing that body to report to !i special mcctlnir to ln. held on Tuesday, the IVta inst., was agreed to. Mr. Freeborn made a verbal report upon the progress of the arrangements for the nutting festival, which comes off on Friday next, at Fairmonnt Park. He offered a resolntlori autho rizing the schools to be closed on Friday, in order that teachers and scholars may participate in it. This passed. ttTiil IVIse Itfoney. The officers and men of the old West Gulf Squadron, under Admiral Farragut's command nt the enpturo of New Orleans in 1802, will be glnd to learn that there is a prospect of their ob taining at last their shares of prize money for the destruction of the Rebel fleet and the capture of Rebel vessels In the Mississippi river, during the assault upon New Orleans. Yesterday morn ing, in the Washington District Court, the various counsel representing the naval olllcers engaged in that enterprise appeared bv annolnt- ment to discuss tho cases heretofore brought In that court involving the right of the navy to head-money for tho destruction of the Rebel fleet, and also to prize-money for the captures made at New Orleans. General B. F. Butler, counsel for Admiral Farragut nnd the interests he represents: .T. Hubley Ashton, counsel for Admiral Porter, representing the mortar flotilla and the vcssols below Forts Ht. Philip and Jackson; Mr. Wilson, for Admiral Bailey; and Mr. Mills, for Commo dore Boggs, argued the questions whether the w hole fleet ure entitled to share in tho head- money, or the vessels separately destroying the licbel vessels, nnd whether tho Rebel land bat teries should bo computed In determining tho relative strength of the Rebel vessels. Tho Court referred tho case of head-money to a commis sioner to take testimony and report. If tho Rebel naval force should be held to bo greater than the Federal force, by means of tho land aud other defenses near the forts, the navy will re ceive two nuuurea uouars lor every man on tho Rebel llect. Otherwise, one hundred dollars. MARINE TELEGRAPH. i'or additional Marine Kews nee Fimt raye. ALMANAC FOR PHILADELPHIA TI1IS DAT.
