Cirolrd College. i
Mr. Editori It is a matter d| public;noto- ]
riety that political abuses’Of the Girard Trus t :<
have steadily increased since the year 1854.. 1
when the management of the College, and ot
the fund from which it is maintained, passed -
hv the act of consolidation from the old city
corporation—the trustees appointed by Mr.
Girard—to the then county, now: a lafge cor
poration, subject to frequent violent
political changes. of thes trust
continued to grow unUlr they xtjlwnated in
acts which obliged the Councils of the city to
appoint a committee of investigation. _ And,
although that committee ha, a just published
voluminous testimony confinnatory of these
political abuses, yet neither it nor the Coun
cils have suggested a remedy. dudge Allison
recently suggested the following remedial
measure: “Every case of trustees for charita
ble use is within the powers of the court, and
the remedy in a case of gross fraud or abuse
of trust is to take the trust from the offending
trustee, whether a corporation or an indi
vidual, fill the office and vest 1 it in other
hands:’' Consequently, a bill in equity has
been prepared, and was presented this inorn
ing, asking the Supreme Court of this State to
rescue the Girard College, by taking, not the
title to the Girard property, but its manage
ment, and that of the College, ftoua its pres
ent political guardians—the Cophcils of the
consolidated .City-^ahdgiving ittoAperma
n6nt board of directors, to be selected by the
courk from the locality and with thequaM-
Catidnß indicated in Mr. Girard’s -wdh - This
measure will undoubtedly be .apjprpved of by
citizens who are free Horn party trammels;
for when political abuses, like those in
Girtud College, existed in the board of man
wrdrsof thfe?Almshouse, the Prison and the
Ckmttollers of the Public Schools, the ap
noindhc power was taken from the nomi
nating cliques that how manage political ap
poinlments, and given to ttio judges of our
corrupting influence of party politics
"wafi thus eradicated from the prison and the
almshouse; rieid economy and right gov
ernment were introduced, • and a noble band
of self-denying philanthropists are now
laboring in these instittitionß, bringing hope
ful relief to the,.flail,: .hotfor to our city,
and a great reduction in its annual expen
diture.
- The parties to the bill in equity, praying
the Supreme Court to grant similar relief to
the Girard College, are— .
*'irs<-Mr. J. A. Barclay, the surviving
executor ofMr. Girard’s will, who was spe
cially charged by the testator to see that his
intentions shall be strictly complied with in
regard to the residuary legacy from which
the College is now maintained.
Second —The following well-known fellow
citizens of Mr. Girard, to whom, in common
■with all others,he appealed to watch over the
proper application of his legacy: Thomas
Robins, John O. James. Stephen Colwell,
Thomas S. Newlin, John C. Cresson, James
Magee, Charles Macalester and William
Several of the mothers on behalf
of orphansalleged to have been injuredby
the introduction of party politics into the Col
lege and by mismanagement proceeding
from other causes, and other orphans also
bom in the old city, who are still excluded
by insufficiency of funds, arising from the
improper management of the trust. '
The following are some of the abuses*
which, it is alleged, have gradually crept into
the College, or which have been developed
since it was put under the fostering care ot
the large political body, that assumed the
cuardianship fourteen years since, contrary
to the letter and spirit of Mr. Girards will.
First —The trust is abused and the income
of the estate is lessened by the removal of
directors and of all business agents with each
* political change in the government of the city,
and by the employment of political partisans
to manage the property, to furnish supplies
and to make alterations and repairs, with a
view to party patronage, instead of tor the
sole benefit of the charity. On one occasion,
a lease for coal land made by the City Coun
cils was so tainted with charges of fraud that
Mayor llenry withheld His signature Horn the
contract. The Supreme Court of this State
sustained his act in a suit brought for dam
ages, and Judge Agnew commented severely
on the fraudulent intention, but the City
Councils did not dismiss or otherwise punish
these offending memDers.
Second— By taking a large sum of money
belonging to the Trust for improving the De
laware front of the old city, in express viola
tion of the terms of the will, and using it in
erecting buildings outside of the old city to
extend political patronage, as is alleged,
thereby jeopardizing a portion of the re
sidnary legacy and b&zardiDg the closing ol
the College. The money was not repaid for
many years,and could not have been returned
much earlier without disbanding the orphans
and closing the College, as was threatened in
.1801. . , ,
Third— By appointing, through political
favor and intrigue, contrary to the* letter and
spirit of the will, directors who do not pos
sess the qualifications indicated by the testa
tor, and through such agencies introducing
into the College discord and other abuses, as
is certified to in the published testimony of
the investigating committee.
Fourth— By the resolve and attempt m the
year 1858, on the part of the Directors, to
change the legal and established mode of in
troducing orphans into,the College, by which
the number trotn the old city . would be de
creased, and the, number from the districts
largely increased, in direct opposition to the
written opinions of the Solicitors of the old
city and of the consolidated city. This at
tempt was only checked by an appeal to the
Supreme Court made by an ex-director at his
own cost. Judge Head, in giving his opinion,
thus stigmatized this unwarranted act of the
directors: “It:was a decision that all former
Trustees and Directors, all former Councils,
all the eminent jurists, in thi3 city and in the
Union, including Chancellor Kent, and Judge
Story, had entirely mistaken the will"of Mr.
Girard."
Fifth— By harsh treatment of the orphans
through a series of years, contrary to the
merciful provisions of the will. This is cer
tified to'by a majority of the present direc
tors of the College, who have the entire ]
custody of the. institution, with full power to
remove every person connected with it, Mr.
Girard’S will says: “Should it unfortunately
happen that aDy of the orphans admitted into
the College shall, from malconduct, have
become unfit companions for the rest, and
iStld means of reformation should prove
abortive, they shall no longer remain therein.
Sixth—By political interference with the
plans and diitieS of tlie President of the Col
lege. The efficiency of Mr. a adminis
tration as President of the College was sadly
impaired by political intrigues and claims
Hot party patronage, after the guardianship
of the College passed from the old city pro
per, composed of six compact'Wards, to a
fare® Corporation, now comprising twenty-
eight Warns, and subject to frequent and vio-r
lent political changes. Leading politicians
of both parties now aver that Mr. Allen, who
Is again President of the College, will be re
moved from office with the next political
efeange. President Smith recently testified
before the Court of Common Pleas that !‘tqo
many have had control there who seem to
i" have secured their places that they might
procure their friends to furnish supplies to
the iMtitutioi# procure some ortho Wbcn>
diuate places for tbek relatives.” Some of
the phssent directors, who are entitled to the
hichest con Adduce, \ recently stated, unqer
oath, ,befor6.the\Committee of Councils, that
party politics has impaired the usefulness of
the College. Since 1854 many of the. most
experienced and best directors have resigned,
or refused a re-election, because they could I
not check the baleful. influences of party
politics; and because the abuse of this trust
for party purposes was likely to increase as
other political patronage was being taken
from the City Councils and transferred to the
courts. ,
In February, 1865, the Board of Directors,
in their annual report to .Councils, made an
earnest appeal for relief from political thral
dom. In that remarkable report, pie Direc
tors, approvingly, made the following quota
tions from the observations of ‘ a learned
writer residing in another State:”
“Theße Directors, appointed by the oity
Councils, hre eighteen in number, of whom
six go out of office every year, while the Coun
cils themselves are annually elected. Hence
the difficulty of settling upon a plan, and t e
greater difficulty of adhering to one. the
means of the College are ample Jomake
those means effective- in the highest *
some mode must be devised by which the
politics of the city shall cease to mfluonce
the choice of Directors. In other u’ouls,
Girard College .must, be--taken out of
politics. Timßoard of Directors should
be a more permanent body than it now is.
Thiß righteous appeal only aggravated the
disease, for since then, every director whose
political views did not accord with the domi
nant party was swept from the College,being
the first instance of this kind in the history ot
this institution. ~ . „ „
. Eradicating party politics from the College
is not only necessary to check the abuse oi
the trust, but it is equally important to en
able its managers to remedy certain inherent
defects'that have become apparent in work
ing this novel institution, and that are being
acTfiravatcd by the large increase in the num
her of its inmates. These remedial measures
are .at present an impossibility, for each
changein the principles of managing the Col
lege hbw passes through four poliUcal or
deals: Ist. A'Committee of Directors, -d.
The Board: 3d. The Committee on Girard
Trust. 4th. The City Councils; and iu each
of these the bearing of the measure on the
present popularity ot the dominant party is
likely to control its action. . '
• The exclusion of politics from the charita
ble and beneficial orders of Free Masonry
and Odd Fellowship, even during the recent
violent political struggles, affords us an earn
est of the willingness of our citizens to rescue
the Girard charity from its imminent peril;
and the irreproachable management ot the
time-honored Philadelphia Saying Fund
shows that philanthropic, intelligent and
honorable guardians of the Girard Trust
can be found in our city. This Saving
Fund never swerved from its charitable pur
poses during all the monetary and politi
cal convulsions which have passed over our
country; and it has kept in perfect security
more than thirty* three millions of dollars,
and paid out twenty-eight millions of these
hard earnings of our working people, with
out ieopardizing one dollar or abusing the
trust in any way. These managers nominate
to the Court five persons whom they deem
suitable to fill each vacancy. This nomina
tion is to be repeated when necessary, tor the
Judges do not make any appointment until
they are perfectly satisfied; and by this plan
the management of this institution is doubly
aruarded. „
More than thirteen years of active service
as a Director of Girard College enabled me
to see that' the evil influence of politics was
steadily increasing. Four and a half years
since, on leaving the College, I resolved to
attempt its rescue, but I was over-persuadeu
by those who vainly thought that the evil
would work its own cure. I have prepared
this statement as a duty to my fellow-citizens,
and as a relief to the widows whose sons are
entitled to guardians free from the demands
of political partisans.

Another Social Revolution-Women
to do tile courting.
[From the Herald of Health.]
Tbe sexes are fully equal in intellect, in
moral sense, and even in physique (admitting
that women are designed to be more delicately
organized), taking the stand-point from the
best models, which is the true criterion, all
others being exceptional; therefore, there is a
propriety in admitting that a wornau has a
right to choose her husband just as
much as for a man to choose a wife; and the
only pretext for denying this is based upon
the inferior one of sex only. In saying this
I shall have the whole innumerable army o
romance writers and readers, as well as the
imbeciles of both sexes, crying out against
me; nevertheless, I stand to the -point, and
nail my colors to the mast in defence of it—
that it is right, proper, and delicate for a wo
man to choose her husband; and-the man
thus distinguished by her choice will feel
himßelf ennobled and sanctified, and will
reward such a woman with tenfold tenderness
and reverence. ,
1 am by no means Willing to have it under
stood that I counsel women to go about n‘pop
ping the question” to men here and there like
an army of grenadiers; far from it._ A map
-rarely ‘‘pops the question” till he is pretty
well assured in his own mind as to the kind
of response he will receive; and in all cases a
refined woman prevents a lover from explain
ing himßelf where she is bent upon a denial of
his suit. Literature is full of heroines who
are i>ractieimr after the fashion of the re
nowned Spartan boy, and we follow them
through the innumerable pages of vapid sen
timent, where they are living and acting my
riads of lies in order to uphold a theory false
in fact and false to nature.
The two sexes are one in a scientific point
of view, and there is no merit in a woman
who lays her part on the altar of pride merely
for the sake of pride. It is no worse for a
woman to be rejected than for a man to be
so; if men and women were high and true,
they would each regard the other in so pure,
so holy, a light that these goings forth of the
heart would be too sacred ever to be revealed;
they would be too solemn for jest, too deeply
real for gossip. They would be laid away, I
shrouded like many a human hope, dead but
beautiful, in the lone chariibers of the soul,
to be looked upon reverently, just as so mauy
of us garner in some secret receptacle a leaf,
a bud, a lock of hair, whose hißtory is known
only to ns snd&tbe-angels,. - - ----■- •
Let our women be free not only to reject,
but to choose also. Men and women are
likely to do this without any great expendi
ture of language, for the vocdbulary of love
is more expressive than words.
1 have known several women of refinement
and intellect who owned that their husbands
were rather sought after by them than other
wise, and these matches were certainly among
the happiest I have ever known.
.. In. choosing a husband, it is easier to say
what a woman should hot choose than to say
what she should; for the best must and Will
depend on characteristics best known to her
self. If she iB a strong woman she may ven
ture to marry a weak man; but if weak her
self, let her beware of this, for she will put
her own life out at last, and, ten to one, do
theßame ungracious office tor her husband;
while a woman of nobler proportions will he

I sabre forbearing, and make up, also, for some
■of his , .
Let not any woman marry a man with m
■ sane blood in hia veinß, _;i I'^.
Let ber not marry one deform# at birth,
the disasters and accidental destruction ot
any members by war or otherwise may ex
cite her compassion andf/bb no impediment
to deep, affection, but a congenital defect be
comes hereditary, and by the laws or
onr being will be repugnant to a. wholesome
minded woman. ,
She can not and will not marry a
drunkard. V ■,,- > - • ~,
She should not marry a diseased, sickly
man. ~
Neither will a wise woman marry an old
man; for the true idea ojf marriage is the
union of youth, and health, and beauty; a
thorough completeness of spiritual, mental
and physical lile; and everything short of this
is all but nauseous to a sympathetic, penetra
tive mind, as a violation of immutable laws.
She will not marry a man younger than
herself, not simply for the reason so often
advanced, that a woman grows older sooner
than a man, which is true only because ot
the abuses of society; for a woman of sound
health and cheerful mind, unswayed by the
vulgar and wicked passions of envy, jealousy
and malice, carries in her own breast a foun
tain of perpetual youth and beauty. Let her
be temperate in all things; preserve her pen
son fresh as a rose; her mind undwaned by
prejudice or idleness; her soul with all its
affections and impulses, pure and loving, and
she mav go onward to her eighty, ninety or
a hundred years, generally beautiful to tne
; last, fit for- reverepce and admiration,., ana
worthy to sit for one- of Michael Angelos
Sibyls.
Moral of many kinds are so in
tangible that, unleßß carried to that excess
which shows the best part, of manhood ut
terly corrupt and depraved, a woman is not
likely to know of them, and she should be
unwilling to listen to common scandal; sue
must not trust to any spy or informer, but
rely upon bis truth and her intuition. , '
If she expects to find Chevalier Bayards,
and Admirable Crichtons and Immaculate
Josephs ready for Iter asking she will most
likely remain without a husband. She can
only hope for an approximation of the ideal;
but if she is true-hearted, sincere to the core,
unselfish and lovely in her own life, she will
be sure to make the dear one whom she
allows to be bead of the republic at home,
not only a happyv man, but a progressively
good man, growing into spiritual insight,
advancing in dignity and manly worth, tor
she.will be bis helpmate in building this
bouse. , ... .
In conclusion I think a Woman will not
marry before she is twenty, for, by so doing,
she loses that fresh, joyous, hopeful period
of life, and a very essential part of it tor the
sake of health, study and consolidation ot
character—her girlhood; and she will, matter
life, be sure to mourn the loss of this lovely
period. She will be twenty at the very least
when she marries, and, like a true woman,
she will look for a right manly man, who will
be handsome in her eyes, and represent as
nearly as possible her ideas of masculine per
fection-good sense, mental, moral and phy
sical health; and, above all, the certain fore
rest and protectiveness, always attractive
in the eyes of a woman. — Elizabeth Oakes

In Search of tue Cleric of the Judi
clary Committee*
“Jlark Twain” writes from Washington to
the Chicago Republican:
“I was standing, all by myself, in the com
mittee room, reading a vast law book, ana
■wondering what it was about, and whether
the plaintiff had done so and so, or whether
it was the defendant; and which of them they
found <niilty: and how the mischief they ever
knew he was guilty when the words were
tangled up so; and noting, with gratification,
the references to Perkins v. Bangs, Mo. Rep,
iii., &c.', whereby it was apparent that if one
did not get mixed up enough iu that book
there were others that could finish him;
and wondering also at the bewildering tauto
logy of the said aforesaid book aforesaid, when
a youth to fortune and to fame unknown,
flourished iu in the most frisky way, and
came to a halt before me. This young man
had a moustache that dimmed the lightness
of his countenance about as your breath
dims the brightness of a razor; and he bored
down into it with his fingers and gave it a
twist which was singularly gratifying to
hini, considering that no effect was produced
upon the moustache by the operation. 1 non
he tilled his little soup-dish to the port silo
of his head with his glove hand, and said:
“‘Hello!’
“/said ‘Hello!’
“He looked surprised... Then he said: 110
you belong here?’
“I was just finishing a sentence about jer
kins v.’Hangs. I finished it and observed:
‘The weather is very fine.’
“Hu whisked nervously up and down the
room a couple of turns, and then stopped be
fore me and said: ‘Are you the clerk ot the
JudiciaryCommibtee?’
“I said, in the urbanest manner:
“ ‘ln view of the circums;ance that on so
short an acquaintance you betray so much
solicitude concerning my business, I wm
venture to inquire what you may happen to
want with the clerk of the Judiciary Com
mittee?’ , .. .
“ ‘That is not answering my question. Are
you the clerk of the Judiciary Committee?
“ -‘ln view of the circumstance that on so
short an acquaintance you betray so much so
licitude concerning-my business, I will ven
ture to inquire again what you may happen
to want with the clerk of the Judiciary Com
mittee?’ . , , ,
“‘Thatdon’t concern anybody but me.
What I want to know is, are you, or are you
not, the clerk of the Judiciary Committee?
“ ‘ln view, as I said before, of the, circum
stance that on so short an acquaintance, you
betray so much solioitude concerning my busi
ness, I will venture to inquire once again,
whatyou may happen to want with the clerk
of the Judiciary Committee?’
“He scratched his head m apparent per
plexity for a matter of five seconds, and then
1 said with deliberation and impressive earnests
I ness: „ , ,
“ ‘Well, I’ll be damned.’
“‘I presume so. I hope so. Still, being
a stranger, you cannot expect me to take
more than n.passing interest i® your future
plans.'
“He looked puzzled and a little chafed. He
said: ‘Look here, who are you?’
“ ‘ln view of the circumstance-^— ’
“.‘Oh, curse toe.circumstanegj’.
“‘Amen.’,
“He did not reply. He seemed worried
and annoyed. Presently he started out, and
said by George he would go after the ijlichi
gan Senators and inquire into this thing. I
said .they were esteemed acquaintances of
mine, and asked him to say that I was-well.
But he refußcdto do this, notwithstanding-all
my politeness, and was profane ’again.
I never saw siieh a firebrand as he was.”

Georgo Marsh, otherwise George Austin, created

The thief was at once locked up. Waiving an

Yesterday morning he was brought up from

Cox* and when called on to enter his plea, said ho

Frotedior ' Huxley’s Hidden. ChesN
\ Player.
. ' (Prom the Loudon Spectator.)
Professor Huxley bas told the workingmen
of South London, in a very fine passage of his
inoBtrriaßCulino.Engllßh, What Beems to him
the highest meaning of education. It is such
a mastery of the laws 'of the gdmo which is
always being played between the individual
manor woman and an unseen player who
ploys the phenomena of the universe on used
and more or less accessible rules, as will
enable the'human players to Oarry on tho
longest game with the most brilliant success.
But we mvst hot spoil by.sunwnarixmg a
passage wMch deserves to live lu English
literature both for its vigor of style and bho
almost grand expression it give? to a particu
lar crecd'wliicli is gaining rapidly upon us,
in spite of the .dcsojation of its in
spite of the stem, almost solemmneglect with
•whicli it'passes by our highest life:
“Suppose it were perfectly certain that the
life and fortune of every one of us would one
dav or other depend .upon his winning or
losing a game of chess: Don’t you .think
that we should all consider it to be a primary
\ duty to learn at least the names and the
moves of the pieces; to have a notion of a
gambit and a keen eye for all the means of
giving and getting out of check ? Do you
not think that we should look With a disap
probation amounting to scorn upon the father
who-allowed bis son, or the State which
sllowedita members, to grow up without
kflowing a i pawn, from a knight? Now,
it is a very plain and elementary
irntb that the life, the fortune, and
the happiness of every one of us, and, more
or less,- of those who are connected
•with us, do depend upon our knowing
sometomg of the rules of a game Infinitely
mdtodimPtflt
It is a game which has been played for, un
told ages, every ihan and woman of us being
one of the two players in a game of his or
her owi>. The chhss board is the world, the
pieces the phenomena of the universe, the
rulesof the game are what we call the laws
of nature. The player on the other side is
hidden, from us. All we know is that his play
i& afcayslair, just and patient.. But,also that
he never overlooks a mistake, or makes the
smallest allowance for ignorance. To the man
•who plays well the highest stakes are paid
witteMhe etrongishoffa dclqfht in strength.
And one who plays ill is checkmated without
haste',. but .ijithbut remorse. My metaphor
will remind some one of you of the famous
picture in which Itotzch has depicted Hi tin
playing at chess with man for liis soul. Sub
stitute for the mocking fiend in that picture
a calm, strong angel, who Is flaying for loveyas
wc say,and would rather lose than win, and i
should accept it as an image of human jife.
■Well, now, what I mean by an education is
learning the rules of this mighty game. In
other words, education is the instruction of
the intellect in tho laws of nature, and the
fashioning of the affections and of the will
into harmony with those laws.”
J.lfo at Sea.
Meals are. punctual. The viands are al ways
pretty much the same each day, and on each
day they all have pretty much the same fla
vor. The soup and the entries and the joint,
are all perfectly alike, especially the soup.
Then the effect'd sitting every day next - to
the same persons is singularly monotonous,
as anybody knows who lias ever tried the ex
periment. To live for weeks in the society
of a few persbbvto the very lowest bottom
of whose minds yon have reached at the end
of the first two days, and those persons not
endeared to you by ties of affection or rela
tionship, is one of tbff most deadening pro
cesses conceivable. But then, whileyou are
at sea, to be deadened is the best thing that
can befafl you. Where all sensation is
more or less unpleasant, any stimulus
that excites it- must be an evil, and any
moral narcotic that lolls it must be a good.
The apathy which conquers the soul in these
circumstances is one of the uncovenanted
mercies of the gods. To have a fretful man,
or still worse, a fretful woman, sitting next to
one for many days is a calamity to which
nothing that ever happens on land is atqall
comparable. There are people of this sort
who will not take their fate with composure,
•who daily revile every dish that is set before
them with acrid reviling, grumbling because
Ihe cooking is not as good as at a first-rate
London Club; because the ale is cloudy, as if
a ship could move without rocking.; because
the salad is not fresh, as if the sea grew let
tuce and endive. Monotony may have its
evils, but they are trifling compared with the
evils of a peevish unreason, at least for a' re
signed bystander. It is possible that the grum
bler himself finds a certain relief in his grdm
bling, but he secures it at the expense of his
fellows.
One of the most curious things, by the way,
about long voyages, is the readiness with
•which deadly antipathies spring up in one’ •
bosom. Nobody who has ever . been ten
days at sea has failed to conceive a hearty
dislike for one or two of his fellow passen
gers. Its grounds are unimportant and inex
plicable. AVc hate one man because ho has
a sour look upon his face, aad another be
cause he is so implacably hearty and hila
rious. No possible line of conduct protects
anybody against a deadly animosity of this
kind. Accidentally we make up our minds
that some one whom we meet daily in the
bear-like promenades on deck i 3 a. snob, or a
pupnv, or a dolt. Everything that he does
cr does not confirms this original conviction.
AVe fully believe,him capable of any atrocity
or folly—until at last the pilot comes on
board, to take the ship into the harbor, and
then, in an instant, the sea-scales fall from
our eyes, and we are ready to believe all
good things of all men.
Concerning Cigars and tbeir Prices,
correspondent of the Boston Tran
acrijvf writes: . '
“Mr, Parton,inthe Atlantic Monthly for
February, laments that ‘The Life of Josiah
Quincy’ does not meet with the sale it merits.
‘Young men,’he says, ‘can not waste their
hard-earned money upon a three-dollar book.
It is the price of a bundle of cigars.’ Mr.
Parton does not give us the. number of cigars
in his bundle, but it can not be very large,
since he elsewhere puts the price of a single
cigar St from thirty to sixty cents. |
“I have lying in a box beforeme a bundle
containing fifty cigars. They cost thirty
centfSpiece, fifteen dollars’for the bundle,
which would have bought five copies of the
noble,old, statesman’s.‘Life.’ ,
“I ; did not buy these cigars—no—-and Ido
not mean to smoke them. They were given
to me by one of the cleverest fellows in the
world, who won them on a wager, and I am
going to give them to another clever fellow,
who is about to give a dinner party to some
more clev.pr fellpws, and they may sharo the
pleasure and extravagance among them..
“ ‘Extravagance!’ It is enormous, that’s a
fact,- the present prices we pay for cigars,
let me take a leaf out of an old book and go
hack to the time when .1 began to smoke,
that is, aeeording to Horace Greeley, when I
began to be a ‘hog.’ Don’t start, neighbor
Dutton, but, except your worthy, self, I doubt
if there are many persons under the roof of
the TTanBcHpt'huiX&Lna who were even born
when I led to indulge in the ‘fllthy
■ weed.’ As long ago as when the town of
Boston gave Commodore Perry the dinner he
so gallantly earned for whipping John Bull
ota Lake Erie, I was there with my cigar,
then-spelt With an s. I forget who provided
the dinner, but John Pierpont aftd ,‘your
correspondent' provided what,was flatter
ingly called the odea, and sat at
the festive table side by side, a copper
counterfeit Beaumont-and-Fletcher, fflow
liulelt took ih those days- to make a poet! J
“Well, about the price of cigars at that
j far-distant date. I not only smokel tuem,
1 but sold them, and many and many a dozen
have. I rolled up for Washington.-Al • i ton and
: Joieph.Btoyenß Buckminster, and a Anst; of
|other pretty cleanly persons, who lit'le,
i dreamed that they were thus training thera
-1 selves.tg become ‘hogs.’ - The tax;imposed
• upcU these gentlemen for their ‘filthy’ indul
gence was two cents for a single cigar,
twenty-five cents for a dozen (thirteen to a
'dozen) and fourteen to sixteen dollars for a
j thousand. These were the rates,, for the best
imported Havana cigars, better—-think of it,
ye unfortunates of modern days—better than
you can now procure for ten times the money.
Shade of Sir Walter Raleigh!
“I must stop. My cigar is out, and I can
not afford to light another. I will, however,
add one remark. When I conclude to leave
off smoking, I hardly think I shall venture
upon Mr. James Barton’s remedy, which he
Eays he found so efficacious— ‘for the first two
days four good stiff glasses of whisky and
water.’ I might become so infatuated with
my new medicine as’to be obliged, one of
these flay s, to cumber the pages of some pop
ular monthly with a shambling diatribe on
the question, ‘Does it pay to drink?’ C. S.”

Grant-. I have removed nine members ol the
City Council (two white and seven colored) for
contempt of the orders of the military com
mander in proceeding to an election for a Re
corder for the 2d district, and' which is. an;
elective office, under the laws, by the people and
Lot by the Council.
The attempt to hold the election was made
while 1 was absent in Texas, but the council was
referred to General Sheridan’s order forbidding
elections until reconstruction was. completed,
without authority of the Commanding General.
Nevertheless these members voted for afl lmme
i diaie election, and the project was carried. The
j election was about to be completed, when one or
! two members, more timid than thesd, leftjand
I broke the quorum.
j A case in point Is Ihe order of Gen. Mower:
.Special Orders of Oct. 15. 1867, removing the
Ji-Uerson City Council for a like offence. My
action in this” matter was in accordance with the
power granted by the Reconstruction act, which

I Gen. V. .V. Grant, Commanding Armies of the
| United States: Your despatch of the Bth|February,
i directing me. to suspend my order No. 28, of the
! 7 th December, removing certain members of the
City Council of Now Orleans, until a full report
of the reasons therelore should be sent to yon,
was received at , 10 P. M. to-day. I
request that you . may reconsider yonr
action, and that my order in the premises
i be not suspended until you have thefull report of
j the reasons called for by you. f telegraphed you
i at the moment the order was issued, giving as
| fall a statement of my reasons for mv action as I
■ thought could be made. 1 referred you to the
i order of General Sheridan, forbidding the clee
: lions, which you have on file at Ilead
| quarters, and stated that the City Coun
: oil had been previously notified of this
; order by one. I also referred you to. an order of
• General Mower, issued in October last, which set
| forth a parallel case, and which you have on file,
i in that case an appeal was taken to you for a
- reinstatement ol’ the Council relieved by. General
! Mower, Which appeal'yon Have not sustained.
;-The present case was in defiance of that exam
i file of General Sheridan’s order and of my own
letter, cautioning,the Council to desist in this
election, and forwarded to you, a printed copy,
January 2Ufli. H was also illegal under tho law
by which they claimed to act.
I waa astonished at the action of the Council,
and could not account for it,■,except the fact that
they had-been instigated to it by designing men,
who beUoyed. if I dared to make resolves, that It
‘would end in my own removal from this place,
and that they would be protected at tiny rate.
My self-respect as commander of this district
made it absolutely necessary that I should take
summary measures, regardless ’ ot tho conse
quences with which''partisans inlghtthreatcn me.
1 do not know what fuller, report could be fur
nished in this case, for all papers explaining
my , action Uavq .been sent to you.
To suspend my order, would be to destroy my
usefulness hero, and such a want of sense of
what I consider due to ■ me and my
position, in this matter would necessitate
a respectful request to be relieved from.my pres
ent command: Although I havo been:here seventy
days, this is the second occasion I havo
taken on my owni responsibility to make
a removal;, the first one two days previous to
this, both for grave causes reported to you In de
tail by telegraph, and while I fully refognizo the
power of the Gencral-in-Chlef to disapprove my
action,' I respectfnlly request that as I have

ia not proper for me to state what I gala ordld there,
but I went very wlde Of any attempt to “dodge the
question." 1 aßßore this,House I did not move
toward the door to leave the room. It Is
not proper for me to say where I did
go. hut I' made no euCh movement as that. Mr.
Stevens did not Shake his finger, at mo and say,.
“Paine, come, back,’: ; [Laughter.) lie did not say
to me, “You have got to face the music.” He did
not Bay to me, ‘,-You have , got to go either one aide
or tho other.” He (Mr. Paine) did not 'heatitate.
Mr. B .evena did not then say, “Clerk, put him down
againet impeachment.” Not only did no one of these
things happen, but nothing which in the remoteatde
gr« resembled any one of them. There is not only
no trpth ln the statement, but it is not even allied to
trnth. There is nothing on which to found one of the
-assertions. My friend, Mr, Bontwell, was present,
-and I'should llke hlm to inform the House.
: Many members—Ob, no. We want no corroborar
tion. ,
Mr. Et-dridoe aeked whether the etatement re
ferred to any authority.
Mr. Paine Bald it old not.
Mr. Bincuam remarked that nobody knew ana no
body cared.
, Mr. Bldridoe intimated that from what hie col
league had said, the etatement in the paper must be a
lie. [Laughter]
Mr. Chanleb. of New York, presented a petition
from certalutaahogany dealers of New York City for a
repeal of the Income tax.
AVPROrRLATIOK BILL.
The Honee then, at half-past three, went lntoCom
mittee of the Whole on Ihe state of the Union, Mr.
Welker, of Ohio, In the chair, on the con
sular and dlDlomatlc appropriation bill. It ap
propriates for salaries of Ministers, #801,COO; for the
ealariea of secrctsriee, Interpreters, &a, $33,550; for
contingent erpenses of all foreign' missions, $50,000;
for contingent expenses for foreign intercourse, $3O, -
000; for the relief of American sCainen In foreign conn
'tries, $200,000; for. stationery and mlacalianeousex
penses, $80,000; for consular office rent, $45,000; for
consular salaries, $-125,000; for expenses in carrying
out the treaty for. the suppression of the slave trade,
$17,000; for expenses under the act to encourage im
migration. $10,000; for expenses under the neutrality
'act, $20;000; for the second annual instalment-capi
talization of the Scheldt dues, $55,551, and other ex
penses, making the total appropriation $1,268,034.
\ ■ Mr. Washbiuine, of Illinois, in explaining the bill,
said that it pimply carried out existing laws, and con
tained no new subject. The amount appropriated by
the bill was less than the estimates by $154,520, and
leea than the amount appropriated for the fiscal year
Jiy $154,520. The reduction was made by cutting
’ down various items.
Mr. Brooks, of New York, congratulated the
House on its policy of economy.
Mr. Woon, of New York, inquired whether the sala
ries in Ihe bill were payable in gold.
Mr. WAsnncRNE said they were.
Mr. Wood remarked that there was no such pro
vision in the bill.
In reply to a remark of Mr. Holman, Mr. Blaine
said that the consular system of. the United States
was self-pustainlng, and"that the government derived
Sf, re money from it than was appropriated by this
11.
' Mr. Higbt. of California, asked a question abont
the mission to Portugal, and Mr Chanleb inquired
why no appropriation was reported for the inisßion to
Greece. -
Mr. Wasubcbne, in reply to the latter, said that
when the bill was prepared, the committee had no in
formation as to the appointment of. a Minister to
Greece, and therefore no item for that mission had
been Inserted, bntthe gentleman from Massachusetts
(Mr: Butler) had been Instructed .by the committee to
offer an amendment to that effect.
Mr. Butler moved to amend by striking out Ecua
dor and inserting Greece.
Mr. Chanleb' called for a division on the question,
and argued against the admission of Ecuador.
Mr. Butler modified his amendment so a 3 simply
to insert the wojtl Greece. ■
Without disposing of the question, the Committee
rose, and tiie Honse. at 4 o'clock, adjourned.
