Mr. Justlco Strong.
Wo nro nt a loss to unilerstrtml why
tlio New York W'orhl should lirtvo es
poused so warmly, tho claims of
William Strong for a sent upon tho Su
promo bench of tho United States, t0'
foro his confirmation by tho Sonata to
that honorablo nnd high position
Thero Is n largo portion, at least, of tho
honest Democracy of Pennsylvania,
who do not shnro tho Horld't enthusl
nslsm, and who do not look forward
with any groat amount of faith to his
futuro actions as Judge of tho Supremo
Court. Mr, Justlco Strong was1 elected
as a Democrat, by tho Democrats of
Pennsylvania to a seat ou tho Supremo
bench of this State, and how well ho
has served them is a matter of history,
His retirement at a tlmo which was
fraught with bo much danger to tho
rights and liberties of tho people was
unfortunate, to call it by no stronger
term, and tho passage of tho obnoxious
Registry Law which that retirement ren
uereu possible, has produced grave
doubts In many minds as to what mo
tlves impelled him to the act. Granted
that ho possesses ability as n lawyer,
but thero are many men in the Stato
who arc greatly his superiors and who
havo attached to them no shadow of a
doubt. A Judgo of tho Supreme Court
llko Cresar's wife should bo'above sus
picion." And how docs it happon that
a man who has claimed to ba a Demo
crat is nominated by a Republican Pres
ident, supported by Republican Sena
tors and claimed by a Republican Rail
road monopoly 03 one likely to carry
out plaus which can but result to Its pe
cuniary benoflt?
It may bo that, tho Pennsylvania
Central It, R. Co., does not speak ad
visedly as to Mr. Justice Strong's will
ingness to overthrow tho recent decision
of the high Court of which ho is now a
member, but it is not calculated to ralso
him in tho estimation of thinking men
that his name should bo bandied about,
and his Judicial opinions announced bo
forehand by nion whoso avowed aim
and object is a purely monlod one. But
taking it for granted that Mr. Justice
Strong Is not a party to this Judicial
barter of position for opinion yet Is It
to bo much regretted that he should bo-.
gin his term with so dark a cloud of
doubt overshadowing him, tho moro ea
peclal'y as during tho discussion of his
probablo courso of action, his confirm
ation was reconsidered, and, after am
pin tlmo had been afforded for ascer
taining definitely his lntentlons.he was
finally confirmed.
Ho has certainly disappointed one
party which elected him, and may yet
act similarly to tho party whoso chief,
has' appointed him and whoso monop
olies claim hlrai Though confirmed by
tho votes or Democratic Senators, wo
havo somo hesitation in assigning' him
a position in tho Democratic ranks.
ftpecio Payment!.
There would seem to be somo prob
ability of the not distant resumption of
specie payments, If gold rates are to bo
taken 11s a basis of opinion.
On Monday last gold was quoted as
low as 112 and closed at 112. The clon
ing rates on Thursday previous having
been llOr. Tho tendency seems to bo
steadily downwards, tho rates abovo
meutloned being the lowest sinco Aug.
16G2. If matters were allowed to take
their courso and Congress would refuse
to flood the market with new issues of
paper money, wo might before the
close of this year of grace, 1870, .have
the satisfaction of once moro beholding
a decent circulating medium. With
gold at par thero would .bo no reasona
ble excuse for tho contlnuanco of tho
present high prices, and tho necessaries
of life, at least, would again bo offered
at bomcthlug llko their real value.
It is to be hopod that tho bright out
look may not be wholly illusory.

The animal, In fact, turned out to havo
a pedigree as long as ono of Cotton

In doing this we must Includo tho

what the frco schools aro like? Few of
them patronize them, many of them
would think it a disgraco to have their
children seen thero, (and I don't won
der at It if they should see what I havo
seen,) but they have tho power to make
them Institutions that they would not
bo ashamed of, and could then educate
their children hero ns well 11s elsewhere
with less expense. Next comes tho
middle class as they aro termed, who
are equal In every respect to their more
wealthy neighbors save this. Our ono
common Father has seen fit for his own
wise purposes to givo them but a small
inheritance of this world's goods. They
would llko to havo tho benefit nf free
schools, but not having tho Influence
which money always given to make
them equal In their estimation to other
schools, and not feeling willing to trust
thu futuro prosperity of their child to
an Inferior education they also tako
away their patronage In part. Then
comes tho poorer class, somo of whom
havo good sen so enough to send to free
schools, mako tho most of them and
thus learn nil thoy can, which is some
times limited indeed; but all of this
class do not by any means send to these
schools; many of them send whero the
tuition becomes a burden to them, oth
ers let their children run the streets, be
cause, they hear the cry come up "Free
Schools are good for nothing." I do
not Bay they uro not good; I believe
some of them aro good though not what
they might have been had they been
made i be schools of the United States.
Some toll us theso school were never

neverseo why they must stop here. Why
can wo not havo one at least in every
county equal to any institution of

it costs no moro to have a good school
than 11 poor one.If wo do pay t'10 teach

Ing theso schools. It simply seems in
tho estimation of somo to be a business

who havo been long in the profession.
This dismal picture of tho free school
syst cm has yet another shade to add to
the dark side of tho picture. Look at
tho school houses. Whoso duty is it to
see that theso aro taken care of? Teach
ers say ."directors don't havo tho houses
in order." Why the greater part of tho
year they aro under out charge. I look
upon a tcaclur In regard to the school
house ho occupies ns a tenant whose
duty it is to keep tho house In order,and
to bo responsible for any injury dono to
said building. In colleges, seminaries
and prlvato schools, teachers must tako

Wo do not sco theso buildings kuocked

find them so III thy that wescarcely dare

A lumber dealer furnishing lumber
for a building is not a contractor, nnd
has no power to chargo tho building
11.11 u uuu iu uuumcr party.
Extract from opinion by Agnciv.
Jan. 31. 1870.
Au architect or builder Is tho agent
of tho owner for erection, and we can
readily ' perceive liow, ns ageut, ho
should havo power to subject tho build
ing 10 a nen 10 tno worumen and ma
tcrlal men. This is not so with a con
tractor who builds on his own credit.
But when tho law classed him with
un) ar cn nee 1 ana Duuuer. and gavo a
Hen for tho work and materials pur
chased by him to bo dono nnd furnished
on the credit of tho building, it clearly
Intended this as a protection to the
workmen and material men, ns much
as If they had acted under tlio order
of a mero agent. Tho purpose was to
prevent their meritorious claims from
being defeated by n change of character
In the employer from an architect or
builder to a contractor, a formality
which might bo used in every instance
to defeat a Hen. Now if this clear, lee.
islativo provision to chargo the building
with a Hen for work and materials pro
cured through a contractor, can bo do.
feated by making two contracts for the
building instead of one: for examplo.
ono contract for the masonry and anoth
er for tho carpentry, tho provision in
tho statute is worthless.for it can always
bo ovaded. What difference is there
in principle when different men becomo
contractors for the erection of tho bull,
ding In division? Certainly thero Is
none. Within the divisions commit
ted to each, tho owner, by his contract
wilh him for construction of that, dlvl
sion, commits hlsauthorlty to bind tho
building, Just as fully audas equitably
as ho would to ono person for tho whole
erection. Hence, wo held In Slngorly
vs. Doer, that a contractor for tho car
ponter work and lumber of a liouso
could subject It to a lien for work dono
at his Instance on the credit of tho build
ings. buch a contract, however, must
bo 0110 within tho meaning of tho stat
ute, to wit, a person employed to erect
or construct tho building. It Is the con
tract for 'erection' which communicates
tho owner's power to bind the bulldW
nud places the contractor alongside of
tho architect or builder. But thero is a
palpablo distinction between a contract
to erect and a contract to furnish to
ward tho erection, whothor It bo work
or material. Ono who contracts to put
up a Duiiding or ono of its prlnclpaj dl
visions, as its brick work or its wood
work is not a moro workman or a mere
material man. Ho is employed to eon
struct or erect, and not merely to work
It Is therefore very clear, that a lumber
dealer employed merely tofurnl-.li him
ber, whether manufactured or not, Is
not n contractor for tho erection of tho
building or any division of It. Ho is a
material man merely, or a workman, If
no worit up ms lumber and furnishes It
mado up into frames, doors, sash, &c.
and Is not employed to erect or put up
tho building or any of its primary parts
or divisions. Not having assumed tho
relation of contiactor or builder, there
H no privity between him and tho own
er to cnablo him to chargo tho building
wiui a nen or tlio lumber ho purchases
of others lu outer to fill his own con
tract to furnish tho lumber of tho liouso.
Tho court was therefore right In hold
ing that tho plaintiff acquired no Hen.
