THE M'Sir HEQVK8T AMI) Tlli VIUI.ADKLVMA LWltAllY. ThI Hiockholclors of the Philadelphia Library yesterday docidod, ly a voto of '-".'8 to '.;), to j acol't lBgcy f I1'' Janies Hash no- 1 cording to the. terms expressed ia his will." ; The rooms of this Bneiont and honoiaMo iu- I htitution presented a scene of unusual activ- I ity while the ballots were being deposited, and I the number of votes polled, as well "as the 1 closeness of the contest, afl'ord abundant evi- f denco of the earnestHess of tho contending parties. The decision in favor of an ac ceptance of the bequest was won under the most unfavorable lurcmnslauccs. and it by no means fully or fairly represents the disposi- tion of a large body of stockholders. The ; number who were opposed to such accept ance, under all circumstances, is compara tively limited, but their ranks were largely re inforced by those who were influenced by the , opinion of eminent lawyers that the proper time for a decision has not yet arrived, as , well as those who favored acceptance on con dition that a distinct circulating library should ! be maintained on the present or some other j equally central location. The proposition to maintain a separate library was also submit- I ted in uuch a confusing ana perplexing man ner, that although it was defeated at the election yesterday, we have little doubt that it would meet the approbation of a large ma jority of the stockholders if it was unoncum- , bered by other issuos. Of the two lea ling I parties one recommended the passage of the following resolution : "Resolved, That so much of the present collection i Of books and other property ot tin; company in may i by the directors be djemert expedient, shall be rc- ' tallied In tae present or some other central position : for general use and circulation." i This resolution was defeated by a vote of 13 yeas to 3(2 nays, mainly in consequence of the opposition of the other leading parly, who at the same time advocated the passage of the following resolution: "lletolved. That the acceptance of the stockholders Of the IJbrary Company Is upon the express provi sion that so much of the present collection of books and other property of the Company, aa may by the Directors be deemed expedient, shall be retained in the present or some other central position, for gene ral use and circulation.'' This resolution was defeated by a vote of 259 yeas to 316 nays, in consequence of the opposition of the party in favor of an uncon ditional acceptance; the portion of this party who desired two libraries making their wishes on that subject subordinate to their hostility to the "express provision" clause. As a practical result a majority of the stock holders apparently condemn the maintenance of a circulating library on the present site, while there is little reason to doubt that at least three-fourths would favor such a policy as an independent proposition. The voting indicates the existence of several distinct shades of sentiment which were not properly represented by the resolu tions. All that is certainly known' is that a small majority of those voting favored an un conditional acceptance of the bequest, and we presume the Directors will not, under the circumstances, consider the apparent decision against a library on the present site as bind ing and conclusive. The following article in the monthly gossip of IAppincot( Magnsinefov November proba bly foreshadows the course they had intended to pursue if all the resolutions recommended by Messrs. Fraley, King, Marsh, Long4relh. and Carson had been adopted: "The Library Company of Philadelphia. It Is under- stood, will accept, on the conditions prescribed lu .his will, the munificent bequest of the late Dr. Hush, amounting to more limn a million of dollars ; so Hut' In a few years Its priceless collection of books will be safely housed in a lire-proof bulldini;. It U in tended to keep the circulating department of tho in stitution In the present location the HUljrwav Branch, 'at Broad and Christian, being tlusitrnell rather as a library of reference, like the Astor Li brary and the BnU.li Museum. It Is estimated thut, after the executor of J)r. Hush has completed the tlreproof building provided for In his will, there will remain a handsome endowment to be handed over to the company tor the maintenance of the Kidjrwa.v lirancli. Tile Library Company will then become one o the most iisetul and creditable insti tutions in this city. Already we hear of two lat'tre and valuable private libraries one of theology and the other of jurispniricnce which are to lie added to the collection when there shall be a lireproof build ' ing la which to deposit them; and donations of money will not lie warning to place an Institution iu whica Philadelphia has a just pride upon a solid foundation. t'ltiinatelv. the present e.lii;.-,. ,lt Filth and Ltbrarr streets and the Law IWiMmns adjoining will be torn down and replaced by a u repiool Imililmir. to come out to the line of Ml, sl-eet and to be ,,UU expense of the fund no in hand and accumulatn B for that purpose. . As the span.! required for the ir rulating department, rea.linir-rooro, etc. will be limited, a considerable part of the nronosed new buUding in Filth St. vet wfll be resJrved or which will bring in a handsome income. Mtoifeihor the future prospects of this ancient and honorable We see no reason why the vote yesterdav should load to an abandonment of this policy, and certainly the project of maintaining a circulating library on the present site should not be given up before tho stock- , holders distinctly approve such a change. Under such on arrangement the legacy will become an unmixed benefit, as it will pro- ! vide for a structure in which the treasures of literature can be garnered up in l'hiladelphia until they assume proportions scarcely less imposing than the volumes which adorn the British Museum, and mIso furnish an income to replenish and sustain it. MISS DICKINSON AS A XATUJIAL CURIOSITY. Miss "Akx.v Dickinson has a certain kind of celebrity as a public speaker that sufli.'es to attract a crowuoa audience wueuover suo is announced. This was proved last evenhtg by the immense concourse of intelligent ladies and gentlemen that filled tho auditorium of tho Academy of Music to hear her dl-scowse upon the Mormons and Mormonism, under the taking title of "Whited Sepulchres." The audience was one that was in the hil est degree complimentary to the lecturer, and it was for the most part composed of ladies and gentlemen who are not in the habit of patronizing any but the highest class of entertainments. It was such an audience as any speaker might have felt proud to ap pear before, and one that had a right to de mand that the lecturer should put forth all her strength, and give the best performance she was capable of. It is doubtful, however, whether there was a single person in all that great assembly that, as tlio lecture proceeded, did not feel admiration merging into pity, and give a grand sigh of reliof when tho affair was over. The enterprising manager of the "Star" course of lectures esteemed Miss Dickinson to be a sure paying card, or he would not have solected her to inaugurate his series of entertainments. She did net belie his expectations, as the laVge attendance Inst evening sufficiently proved, but the ques tion now arises, what are Miss Dickinson's attractions? Do people attend her lectures because they expect to hear a thoughtful and eloquent exposition of a great subject, or is the lecturer looked upon as a natural curiosity like the double-headed girl, the bearded woman, the lightning calculator, the what is it, or the great American pie-biter? We have no wish to be disrespectful, but such an idea is obviously suggested by the discourse to which we were treated last evening. Our opinion has always been, that women are on titled to all tho liberty they can claim, to till any honorable field of employment for which they are competent. On the stage the women rival the. men, and often surpass them, for there are now before the public no such male artists as IUstori and Janauschek. If -women ore endowed with the gift of eloquonce, there is no cood reason whv thev should not ascen(j the rostrum and entertain and instruct their audiences with words of wit and wisdom. This field is one that is, in ninny respects, suited to women, but we have a right to demand that female lecturers, like female actresses and femalo authors, shall be amenable to the snme rules of criticism as their male competitors. If women have any thing that is worth sayiug. and if they know how to say it, by all means let them appear as lecturers. 5ut an intelligent public expects that those who do so shall treat us to some thing more than weak twaddle and coarse vituperation about subjects (hat they do not half understand. Miss Dickinson has a cer tain ability as a speaker, and there her merits end. She has never started a new idea ov shed a new light on any of the sub jects she has taken up, and her discourses, from first to last, have been made up of the commonest of commonplaces upon the usual topics that occupy tho minds of the little knot of femule rightists who mistake their own clamor for interest on the part of the public in their schemes. It was announced that last evening Miss Dickinson would relate nor opinions of the Mormons ns gathered during her recent visit to Salt Lake City, and her audience fully expected an exposition of the Mormon system from a woman's standpoint. It is needless to say that such a lecture could be made intensely interesting; and although some persons in the audience, whose estimate of Miss Dickinson was critical rather than enthusiastic, knew pretty well what to expect, a great number were sadly disap pointed and left the house under the decided impression that they had been im posed upon by false pretences. Miss Dick inson related nothing about the Mormons that was not well known already to every one of her hearers, and her only references to them were 'a few side remarks, brought in without any pretense of connection, merely for the purpose of .seeming (o carry out the promises mnde, while tho lecture itself was a mere diatrabe on the subject of women'!; rights, a repetition of which has been said over and over again by the Susan Anthonys. Cady Stantons, Dr. Mary Walkers, and other aspiring females who are ambitious to wear I the breeches, and who are at once objects of 1 virlbiulA with tliA men nvwl nf nmitamnf will. their own sex. If the public like this sort of thing; f course they have a right to patronize it, but if one of the male gender, gifted with twice the oratorical ability of Miss Dickinson, were to make a practice of spouting such stuff, he would not attract a dozen auditors to any one of his discourses. We are, therefore, forced to conclude that Miss Dickinson is not esteemed for the elegance of her style, the splendor of her eloquence, the profundity of her thought, the brilliancy of her wit nnd humor, for she has none of these, but that the public look upon her as a limn nutttrtr, and experience the same sort of delight in listen ing to a vituperative woman on the platform as they do in beholding Mr. Fearce putting his hand into the lion's mouth, the Japanese juggler ascending his ladder of swords bare footed, Lydia Thompson in spangled tights dealing out indecent witticisms, or any of tho other monstrous novelties that are afforded under the name of amusements. Miss Dick inson pretends to appeal to a better class of auditors than the performers we have men tioned, and intelligent people, such as assem bled to hear her last evening, have a right to be treated to something better than the entertainment that was . offered; and if Miss Dickinson could have xtood in tho lobby and heard the remarks that were made as the audience passed out, we entertain a hope that she would have felt heartily ashamed of herself. In a mntter of this kind it is the duty of the public press to speak plainly, and in expressing this decided opinion we have nothing but the heartiest good will for the lady and the best wishes for htr lcgitiuiuto success in the profession she has adopted. THE CALIFOHNIA ELECTION. , mo in oi September California held a t Slate election for members of the Legislature and county officers, resulting in a Democratic Victory, which will cause that Slate to reject ho proposed fifteemU Rmcndmout to tho Constitution. To-morrow another election is to be held to fill two vacancies on the benoh of tho Supreme Court, the term of office being for a period of ton years. Loronzo Sawyer, one of the present Judges, and O. C. Pratt, are the Republican candidates, ami J. B. Crockett and William B. Wallace the Democratic candidates. During the past fow years the State has beon virtually Democratic, although General Grant received a majority last November of "0l, in a total vote of 108,000. At tho election for Judges of the Supreme Court just previous, tho Democra tic majority, on a very light vote, was 2".".!, and in 1807 it was as high as f."t0. In tho last Legislature there wns a Republican majo rity of 4 in the Senate and n Democratic majority of L't in the House, giving a Demo cratic majority of "JO on joint ballot. With all these facts in view, a Democratic triumph to-morrow is to bo anticipated. There appears to bo but, little interest in the result, and the vote will probubly bo a light one. The election of Judges was recently sepa rated from that of the other State officers, to socure, if possible, tho selection of capable men without regard to their party affiliations; but thus far the plan appears to have worked badly. Little interest is taken iu the judicial election by the mass of the people, and thus a few zealous politicians are generally enabled to fix tho thing up as best suits their own views nnd interests. AT IT A a A IN. Wr. have received a copy of a call for a Woman Sufl'rago Convention to be held hi Cleveland, Ohio, during the month of Novem ber, appended to which is a modost request for us to copy all the names appended about one hundred in number "as they are im portant to show the people the character of the movement." Just so, and ns full half of the signers of the call are of the mascuWno gender, "tho character of tho movement" will be evident to our readers without troubling them with the full list. But the list, such as it is. presents a very curious mixture. Henry Ward Beecher, the model evangelical preacher, is cheek by jowl with Andrew Jackson Davis, the crazy philosopher of tho "harmonious coronation" school of infidelity; George William Curtis, one of tho most ele gant scholars nnd effective speakers in the the country, in close association with such dribblers ns Lucy Stone, Antoinette Brown Blackwell, nnd Mary A. Livermoro; and Alfred II. Love, the Philadelphia apostle of peace, in kindly sympathy wih Amelia Bloomer, whom wo take to be tho great origi nal Bloomer of all timo. Trom all of which, "the character of the movement" is still fur ther evident, and tho publication of the com plete list quite a waste of our valuable space. Thk Kaii.wws or Ixiha During the "late on- pleasautnoss" In this country, immense sunn were expended in Knglaud to foster the growth of cotton in her Indian possessions, and by the aid of this lavlshucss several great lines of rullway were con structed. The two principal, the East Indian and the Clreat Indian Peninsula, have now22GO miles in operation, and when completed will extend 27M miles, one-half more than -the rncitlc Itallroad. These lines will connect Calcutta with Delhi, Madras Willi llaypore, Nagpore with Bombay, and Lahore with Knrrachee. The miles now m operation arc 8942, and the miles uuder construction are 1CC5. For the building of these works, 3,6251,000 tons of goods, of the value or 1 10,2W,ot)J, were shipped from Eng land In s:w ships. The capital required was secured by a five per cent, guarantee by the Government In India, and a total of lll,OtM,uoo has already been paid as Interest on the capital by the Government, of which amount 147,600,000 has been repaid out of the earnings of the roads. Last yeur 13,7 16,000 passengers were carried on these roads ; of this number all but 700,000 were in third-class carriages. The passenger receipts were c,9so,ooo, and the freight, $10,000,000. The rolling stock comprises 937 locomotives, 273a passenger cars, and is,22 freight cars. The persons employed number 30,01)0, of whom 80,048 are natives. Tlic eil'cct of these increased facilities for travelling and for the Interchange of commodities upon the semi-civillisation of that couutry cannot be easily estimated; but the extension of commerce, educa tion, nnd religious Instruction must now be in creased in a ratio far exceeding that of the past. 5 P E OIAL NOTIOES. fhr additional Fpertnl Nntiri ere the limlde 7fry. tB ACADEMY OF MUSI C.
