RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAY MMNTS. A BPKOiiti denpatoh from Washington, whioh wo publiahad in Thb Teleobath yesterday, folly confirms the view previously expressed ia these column in regard to the resumption of specie payments. It states "on the higheat and most unquestionable authority" that not only does the Secretary of the Treasury sot faror the immediate resumption of specie payments, but in his report he will depreoate any attempt on the part of Congress to force suoh a policy npon the country." This intel ligence should go far to set at rest the uneasy feelings that hare from time to time been created by sensational reports of speedy re sumption. It is natural that a portion of the Btatenmon of the country should look forward to that end and seek to hasten it; and every patriotio citizen would much rather see the paper issues of the Government rated at or above gold par than below it. Hut those who are especially entrusted with the management of the national finances can never safely ignore the intimacy of their connection with the general prosperity of the people, nor pru dently attempt experiments of a hazardous and uncertain nature. As soon as the Gov ernment can pay gold for all its obligations, let it do so. Everything that tends to im prove its financial condition in creases its ability to attain this goal. If it keeps steadily on in the present path of reducing the bulk of its indebtedness, increasing its revenues, and diminishing its expendi tures, the time cannot be far distant when re sumption will be entirely practicable. But let it not be guilty of the folly of attempting a task which is at once beyond its own strength and likely to impose too heavy a strain upon all the business interests of the nation. The sick man, when convalescing, can ' never tell, in advance, how soon his pristine vigor will be restored. He acts wisely when he rebuilds his shattered constitution, but . . absurdly when he positively promises to en , i gag prematurely in laborious and exhaustive r undertakings which are calculated to cause a . - relapse worse than the original disease. And :. T J. ' it should never be forgotten that the Govern- i i 'fc .j ment, in aoting on this question, acts not only 'for itself but for nearly forty millions of ' M.-people. If it wantonly arrests the progress ' : of industry, shuts up manufactories, stag- ij.tes commerce, and prostrates agriculture, H will at once destroy the sources of its own revenues and carry desolation to innumerable households. ' !Too many persona are disposed to treat this aostifl to cavalier spirit. We are told by a uable telegram that an article published in ; it e London Shipping Gazette of yesterday fcsys, "A return to specie payments could . Si, on be effected in the United States, and no debtor class would suffer by it. The South- , ' States are generally well off for cash, and , Southern buyers are the mainstay of the Northern markets." The writor displays in these remarks not only his indifference to the welfare of a large body of the American people, but his ignorance of the subject under discussion. He should have reverted to the financial history of England during the long series of wars in which she embarked during the closing years of the last century. The British Government ordered a suspension of specie payments on the 2ith of February, 1707, and resumption was not attempted until May 1, 18215 suspension being thus con tinued for a period of more than twenty six years. It is part of the financial history of that period, too, that although prepara tions for resumption had gradually been made for four years previous to 182:5, resump tion at that late day was disastrous to many important British interests. In other words, Great Britain only began to prepare for specie payments four years after the restoration of peace; and although resumption came four years after these preparations had been con tinued, eight years after the termination of hostilities, and twenty-six years after suspen sion commenced, great misery and financial distress still prevailed. And yet, the British writer, with this record before him, announces that no class in the United States would suffer from a speody return to specie payments here! Similar sentiments are occasionally expressed on this side of the Atlantic, and there is a readines to forget the magnitude of the obligations involved, ani tb? inheront diffi culties of the proposed task, which is truly astonishing. The Government could resume specie payments to-morrow if the publio were sufficiently well satisfied of its readiness and ability to continue them to abstain from demanding gold. But in the present state of publio opinion its coffers would be drained ef specie in twenty and four hours, beyond the hope of replenishment, and a second suspension more damaging than the - first would Inevitably ensue. The gold in the Treasury would scarcely redeem one-third of the legal-tender notes outstanding, and they form but a tithe of the obligations upon which gold payments must, sooner or later, be iuade. An essential and indispensable conoomitant of successful resumption is the absolute re storation of publio confidence in the ability of the nation to pay coin for all its matured filklirral.inn. Tt ia vain in VtnrtAthnf. annVi rnn- fidence will be restored by a mere act of Con gress announcing that such payment will be oommenoed on a given day. The Treasury uuuut be well enough prepared in advance to uiaet those (who are likely to ask for gold to thore is uo we in asking for it; that no premium caa be obtained for gol 1; and that it can always be prooured, la ex change for greenbacks, by a mere demand. It is obvious that such preparations have not yet been made, and that they are not likely to be made during the next few months. Mean while, however, let all be done that can be done to haston the restoration of confidence and the conclusive re-establishment of the national credit. MORE TERRITORY FOR SALE. Since the United States has gone into the land purchasing business, holders of islands in the West Indies have shown considerable anxiety to sell out, preferring a good round sum of ready money in hand to the possession of territory that brings in little or nothing. An unlucky earthquake had the effect of an nulling Mr. Seward's bargain for St. Thomas, and the Danish Government has been over come with grief ever since because it cannot dispose of one island that it does not want, and for which it expeoted to receive a few millions of American gold that it really needs. Cuba is about the only West Indian territory that we really have a longing for, and that Spain refuses to Bell on any terms, mainly, we imagine, because she imagines that there is a latent intention to take it from her any. how by foul means, if not by fair. On the other hand, the neighboring island of St. Domingo shows a decided disposition to sell out on easy terms. A despatch from Havana represents that all the Dominican leaders are anxious for annexation to the United Slates in consideration of a reasonable amount of money. Bacz, Timcntal, and Cabral, however much they may disagree on other points, are united on this, and the only question is which shall get the money. Baez is the con stitutional President of the republic, and it is stated that he is ready to open negotiations whenever the Congress of the United States shall make the necessary appropriations, nis rivals, however, are equally well disposed, and they are anxious only to obtain that as cendancy that will entitle them to reoeive the cash whenever the United States is ready to pay. Baez is ready to open negotiations, the partisans of Timental are scattering among the peoplo handbills favoring annexation with the United States, and Cabral hopes to be in power when the bargain is concluded, so that ho may got the money. In Ilayti we are told that the only oppo nents to selling out to the United States are parties under European influence, while Salnave and Saget, the rival Presidents, both are willing and anxious to dispose of their claims. The entire island, it is said, can be purchased for $2,000,0(10, which certainly looks cheap. But in case the United States should conclude to invest, the trouble would bo to decide who ought to re ceive the money. All tho impecunious revo lutionary leaders would claim it, and those who did not get anything would undoubtedly declare the bargain off, and proceed to create a disturbance; ho that, after paying for our island, we would have also to conquer it, at an expense considerably greater than it is worth, from which point of view it is cer tainly not as cheap as it seems on first sight. As we are not in any present distress for additions to our territory in that quarter of the world, we can afford to wait until the islands of the West Indies come to us in the natural courso of events, or until we can pur chase at such a fignre as will make it an object to spend our money. ART EDUCATION. New Yoi:k, like Philadelphia, is afflicted with a Fine Ait Academy that is chiefly remarka ble for its eminent respectability, and for the fact that it is a hindrance rather than an aid to the development of art in the United States. But New York appears to have awakened fully to the fact that its so-called ''National" Academy of Design is a dead weight that American art cannot any longer afford to carry without being crushed by it, and active measures have been inaugurated to establish a great Art Museum that will fur nish to American artists the facilities that they need for study, and to the American people the means for general artistic culture, by providing an ample collection of speci mens in all tho different branches of art. The idea appears to be to establish a system of ait schools in connection with this musoum, which will enable students to ob tain such education as is absolutely necessary for the production of thoroughly good art work, without the necessity for visiting Europe This is exactly what we have re peatedly urged for this city, and with the col lection of art works in the possession of our Academy we have a far better nucleus for a first-class institution than there is in Now York. It will take time and money to build up a great art university in either city, but the thing can be done if a proper start is made, and if those who can appreciate the importance of the subject will unite and exert them!8 energetically. A little healthy critioism has had a deci dedly benoficial effect on the Academy of Fine Arts in this city, and that venerable in stitution has displayed an unwonted activity in its schools this winter. A number of im provements have been introduced, owing, it is truo, in a very groat measure, to the intelli gent efforts of Professor Schussole, who has infused a spirit of emulation into tho students that promises good results. One swallow does not make summer, however, and one artist, no matter what his attainments may be, can not build up a great school of Art by his own unaided efforts. What has been done at the Academy is scarcely a beginning, and the in stitution is founded on such essentially wrong principles that, as it is at present constituted, it is meless to hope for any great things from it. The artists are almost unanimously in antagonism to it, and the Board of Direotors take no trouble to conciliate them and to se cure their support and assiatanoo. We have demonstrated often enough in those columns the utter absurdity of a corporation of bank ers, brokers, and merchants attempting to carry on Rtt educutional institution of any kind, muoh less an Academy of Fine Arts, and we see nothing in the recent increase of facilities at our Academy to induce us to hope or ex pect that any great results will follow. An Art Academy in this country, to falfll tho re quirements of suoh an institution, must be established on essentially the same basis as our universities and colleges. Its internal management must be in the hands of profes sional men exclusively, who must be pro tected from the meddlesome intorferenoe of self-elected patrons of art. It is only in this manner that an Art Academy can be conducted with suocess, and it is to be hoped that the movement inaugurated in New York will have the effect of inspiring the citizens of Phila delphia with a proper spirit of emulation, and lead to the establishment here of a great art school that will be a crodit to the city and a lasting benefit to the whole country. Virginia' politics. Trra extreme radical Republicans of Virginia appear determined to utterly dostroy the party in that State. The overwhelming defeat which their ticket sustained at the reoent State election does not appear to have taught them wisdom, and many of them have arrayed themselves in open conflict with the mass of the people of the State. Tho address to Congress which was adopted yesterday by their State Convention is an ill-natured and inconsiderate document, the promulgation of which is calculated to work the Republican cause in Virginia irreparable harm. Some of its allegations are truthful, but the majority of thorn are exceedingly exaggerated, to say the least. The assertion that the true secret of the Republican defeat at the election was the submission to a separate vote of the test oath and disfranchising clauses of tho Con stitution is utterly groundless. If those two clauses had not been submitted to a separate voto, there is but little doubt that the whole Constitution would have been rejected, and the reconstruction of Virginia indefinitely postponed. The action of Congress and the President in authorizing a separate vote on the test oath and disfranchising clauses saved the expurgated Constitution from defeat, and placed Virginia in a fair way of being restored to her normal relations to the Union. Among the points embraced in this adJross is one which demands from Congress tho passing of a law by which the wholo procasn of reconstruction shall bo gone through with again, or the exaction from the members of the Legislature of the test oath, and tho awarding of the seats of such members as are unable to take it to such eligible candi dates as received the next highest number of votes. This ridiculous demand is about what might have been expected from men who have shown su ;h a narrownoss of spirit and lack of statesmanship as have characterized the radical leaders in Virginia. Two mem bers of the committee appointed to propare the address supported a substitute which con tained some traces of wisdom. They dosired the immediate admission of the State and tho exaction by Congress of a guurantee that every citizen of Virginia shall be protected in all his rights under the Federal and State Constitutions. But the majority of tho con vention were in no mood for entertaining such a sensible polioy, . and carried everything with such a high hand that tho advocates of the substitute finally withdrew in a body, among tho num ber being two of the radical Congressmen elect, the Chairman of the State Contral Com mittee, two radical State Senators, and the very man who was tho father of the proscrip tive test-oath and disfranchising clauses of the Constitution, about the defeat of which the convention raised such a lamentation. Tho result will probably be that the with drawing members will be forced into the ranks of the Walker party, and the radicals of Virginia will thus be consigned to the fate which their foolish prescriptive policy has merited. The greater number of their leaders have been men without character, whose ohief object has been the promotion of their own selfish interests, without much regard to the substantial welfare of the State. Not until they are driven from all stations of power and influence can the true Ropublioan party of Virginia be reorganized on a successful basis, and their recent action will tend mate rially to bring about this desirable result. TIIK CELERRA T10X OF THE CESTEXXIA h Oh' A U ERICA X lXDKl'ESDEXCK. It has been proposed that tho centennial festival of Indepondonce day shall be celebrated In this city by a grand exposition of the Industry of all nations on a scale commensurate In dignity with the Im portance of the occasion and tho foremost position which the United States of America occupies among the nations of the earth. This matter was Drat sug goided, we bt'llovc, last winter, and It was deemod at that time a little premature to make any publio movement In the mutter, but since that time the prominent men of the city of Washington, soelug an opportunity to bleed the National Treasury for the benefit of tho hotels and faro-banks of that delecta ble city of mud and diiBt, have gone to work and secured a conditional subscription of over one million of dollars. The advan tages which WashinyJon has for a exhibition or tueklMproposodai'-A.-i lw manufactures F principally sasponded claims against die 93Tern" ment, canards and departmental newsmongers, and mixed drinks. There was ouco a suit of clothes made in tho town, but It was a great whlto ago, and the manufactory was burned dowu, we believe, for fear the people would g3t into bad habite, since which time it has had little or no prominence as a manufacturing or commercial centre. There are but few cities where autTlclent aocoui modatlon, capital, aud ability caa be furnished for so great an enterprise. The time for considering the matter has now arrived. It will requlro five or six years to mako the announcement to all parts of the habitable globo, and socure the requisite approval and oo-operatioa not only of .oar National Govern, niont butofthat of other lands. It will require a guarantee of somo $:i,ooo,ouo, whioh we boliove can be raised In our olty and In Us vicinity by tho parties interested, who embrace all classes of the commu nity. Itussla has annouuood that a grand Exposition will take place in 1870. Euglund had her lirst show In 1851; Ireland In lsai); France in 1907, aud now it will bo our turn. New York once tried Its hand at something of the kind, but it failed most tnglorlously, and anally be oame a sort of side ihow to liaraum's Museum, and the moral exhibition of fat women and living skele tons who delighted to But forth their proportions to the eavante of that city. . It Anally ended In sinoko, having been burnt up one afternoon, as all Mr. Bar nam's thows end. But let our manufacturers take tho matter to heart, and consider what jrreat advantages will be gained by throwing open the oontenu of the vast workshops which render Philadelphia (aspersed, ai she too often Is, wish a charge of being slow) the second manufacturing city in the world. We would that we conld call on our merchants, but our com merce is not nourishing, except with Burlington and Chester. Let onr municipal authorities see that the vast Inn ux of wealthy and skilled foreign travel lers would double the taxable value of our real es tate, and give eaoh rhlladolphlan the right to ex claim, with Paul of Tarsus, "1 am a oltiisen of no mean city." Tns IIotkl Accommodations or rim.AOKi.rnr are not commensurate In any degree with the popu lation or business of the city. It ts estimated, on. a liberal allowance, that there is not reom for four thousand strangers at the hotels, Including lathe enumeration all sizes and conditions, from the palatial Continental to the Ked Lion and Black Bear. This ts In the ratio of one stranger to twe hundred Inhabitants. In New York It la asserted,oa good authority, that seventy thousand strangers could be kept without annoying the pocket-books of the frugal marketers. The great Demooratio 8cy nioor and Blair Convention, tn 18W, proved the truth of thla calculation. The character of our hostelrlos baa much degenerated within the past twenty years; and while we hoar of the man who knows how to keop a hotel becoming famous, we do not think that he troublea Philadelphia muck, rrtneety fortunes have lecn made tn a few years, and with little tronbio, at this not unpleasant oooupation, la our midst, and It can bo done again.
