‘ - Witt *ll due respect to otir female- readers,
•me protest that the muota-braited Tyng trial
las been conducted, from first to last, in a
most womanly manner. The clerical mind,
nan appeare to be very peculiarly con
sfitoted and It rarely undertakes to conduct
tte ordinary. business transactions of life,
Without betraying the fact that its training for
unfitted it for the
practicalities of eveiy-day secular affairs.
Xh6l« are, of course, distinguished except
tions to this rule, but it holds good in the
. general.
•n, e trial,. by the wish of the accused
and his friends, has obtained the doubtful
advantage of great notoriety. The press has
Spread its proceedings before the public, and
the public has been edified by a recital of
testimony, speeches. and general manage
ment which has compelled. the outside bar
barian world to the conclusion that, as is so
often the case, it would be far better in
future to wash the ecclesiastical linen at
home. _ _
" The case is, by this time, well known, to
the public. The Bev. Mr. Tyng; a young
Episcopal minister of New York, preached
bn a given occasion, in a Methodist Church
in New Brunswick, in which town, the Rev.
Mr. Stubbs, an old Episcopal minister, bad
a congregation, and protested against the
former officiating in bis parish. This protest
was made under the forms of law, and
Bishop Odenheimer, also under forms
of law, presented the alleged offender,
for trial, to his own ecclesiastical su
perior, Bishop Potter, of New York. The
issue thus raised was a simple and technical
one. There Waßh'o issue against preaching
in the Methodist Church particularly, 'but
only against preaching at all within what
was claimed as the parochial jurisdiction of
the resident Episcopal minister. It . was
a question as to the scope and precise mean
ing of a certain canon of the Episcopal
Church, referring to this subject,and that was
all. ■' . ' .
In response to the legal demaud made upon
him, Bishop Potter convened a court to try
this question. It was a clerical court, sitting
in banc, to hear and determine a disputed
point of canon law. It might have been sup
posed that such an abstract question of inter
pretation would have been disposed of c almly,;
soberly, advisedly,with dignity, harmony and
decorum. But instead of this,the public mind
has been surprised by a course of procedure
the .very reverse of this. The fact has been
betrayed that this trial is .the mere definite
manifestation of a heated and very bitter con
dition of partisan strife between two wings of
tte Episcopal Church. The case has been so
managed as to make it the occasion of-a gen
eral religious commotion. Instead of the
quiet discussion of a point of law, there
has been all the excitement of a fash
ionable martyrdom. This has ac
tually been carried so far that prayers
for Mr. Tyng Were Invoked in a number of
religious, assemblies, exactly as if he were bn
the eve of being bound to a hot gridiron or
tom to pieces by Wild beasts. The speeches
of counsel on both sides consisted of crimi
nations and recriminations, each charging
the Other party with banding together in at
tempting to destroy the Episcopal Church.
Threatening meetings were held by the ex
cited clergy, at which dark hints were thrown
out as to what would happen if Mr. Tyng
should be convicted. The’testimony was
loobelv admitted without the binding obliga
tions of an oath or affirmation. The wit
nesses were cross-examined amid loud laugh
ter or applause from the audience.
A variety of appliances were brought
to bear to overawe • or influence
the court, and the court seems to have been
but partially successful in preserving any de-.
gree of its own proper dignity. Instead of
an impartial trial ol a point of law, the pub
lic has been entertained with an exhibition of
temper and excitement, ill-befitting those who
profess to be contending for the privilege of
preaching the Gospel to their fellow-uieri.
No one seems to have remembered that thib
court had nothing whatever to do with the
expediency, propriety or Christianity of the
canon in question. None of these clerical
gentlemen seem to have been able, or at least
willing, to distinguish between the fact of a
law and the question or its desirability.
The court does not make or unmake laws;'
it merely decides and enforces them. The
question of repealing or changing laws be
longs exclusively to the legislative branch,
which, in this case, is the General Conven
tion, and therefore all the personalities which
have been thrust into this case by the indis
cretion or had taste of those who have man
aged it on both sides, have been utterly out
of place.
One word as to the disputed cauon itself.
If there is a law of the Episcopal Church
which gives its ministers such jurisdiction as
the Rev. Mr. Stubbs claims, it is far behind
the spirit of the age and the
sooner it is repealed the better. There
is ,a manifest absurdity on its
very face, and it will undoubtedly be
made the subject of legislation at the next
meeting of the General Convention. When
it is repealed individual clergymen will be re
lieved of the notoriety and their church of
the consequent discredit which arises from
private interpretations or deliberate violations
of canon law.
ISOW THU OIT» IS OBOWISC.
The. assessment: returns for the present
year give, as nearly as practicable, a correct
impression as to tbe niatcrial' growth of the
city. The total value of the real estate within
the bounds of the consolidated city, accord
ing to the assessment just made $8 #415,503,-
317. Of this turn, »413,584,273 is city or
built up property, and $31,042,914 is classed
as rural. Fifty years ago the gjeat.bulk ol
the property which now comes;; under the
head of" city, or; improved property, would
have lieen found to be compressed, into
the district which is now composed of
the 'tier of wards which run along
the iptware, and which in the centre of the
city as , iar; west us Beventh street-
TalunPfe,|»|id,City.i > roper,.we;flud that the
value of the -realestate which hi comprised
within the Fifth and Bbrh Wards, amt which
include the district bounded' by South 'aid
Vine streets, and tte Delaware .river and
Seventh street, is $08,234,360. Within llihe
bounds of these Warda most of the heavy
commercial houses are'found, nearly all the
banks and insurance offices, almost all the
newspaper offices and the great money centre
of the city. It la practicfllly in
the heavy business pointof .view.,,. :
Half a century ago it ,was f ‘;ffie .city ” in
more senses than one, for; npt enly was most
of the business of Philadelphia, both whole
sale and retail, done within its bounds, but a
very largo portion of the population resided
within its limits. Where there are now great,
prosperous and populous wards, there were
then only truck farms and open commons.
Thus we now find a real estate valuation of
$13,214,800 put upon the Thirteenth Ward,
against $8,070,658 in the Eleventh Ward,
which was a closely built up district when the
Thirteenth Ward had scarcely a dwell
ing within its bounds. The Four
teenth Ward, which was still far
ther outside the pale of civilization fifty
years ago, now contains $l-1,921,050 .worth
of real estate. But the most wonderful pro
gress is in the still more distant wards. Thus
we find that the Fifteenth Ward has $26,240,-
283 worth of real estate, and the Twentieth
Ward looms up with its $29,853,275. These
figures demonstrate the vast growth of the
city and afford data for speculations as to the
future of the city. At the same ratio of pro
gress the real eßtate of Philadelphia , will he
valued by thousands of millions of dollars be
fore the year 1900, whereitscarcely,amounted
to tens of millions when the nineteenth cen
tury first came ffito existence.
POLITICS AS A TRADE.
.We are firmly persuaded' that in ninety
five eases out of a hundred of what is
known as successful office-seeking, an order
to break stoneß upon the turnpike or a char
ter to saw unlimited cords of wood for a
steam-engine, would be far better for .the rel
- than the commission which authorizes
its holder to 'make a pretence of performing
an uncertain service for a National, State or
City Government, with a real intention and
a certain result pf simply looking oat for
Number One, and of makißg a little work go
a very great way. Our too frequent local
elections, and our rotten system of making
nominations of candidates through the tricky
machinery of “rings” and. conventions, tend
to the rearing of a very large class of small
politicians by trade. - They are to be
found haunting bar-rooms, - gathering in
swarms wherever the carrion of public plun
der is scented, and making a sort of political
High Change of the sidewalk in front of the
State House- It may be safely assumed that
not one in a dozen of these hungry expect
ants ever reach what they are in pursuit of;
while it is scarcely less certain that of those
who do secure what they so greedily pursue,
success is the worst calamity that could befall
them. Peter Brush tells the story of very
many of these small trading politicians, when,
after years of patriotic exertion and earnest
trial to secure an opportunity of serving the
public, he exclaims in despair:
‘•Here I’ve been serving my country, more or
less, these ten years, like a patriot—going to
town meetings; hurraing my-daylights out, and
gettiug ns blue as blazes—blocking the windows,
getting licked fifty times, and having more black
eyes and bloody noses than you could shake a
stick at, all tor (tic common good, and for the
purity of our illegal rights—and all for what?
.Why’ for nix. li any good has come of it,' the
country bus put it into her own pocket, and
swindled me ont of my arnings. I can’t get no
office! Republics is ungrateful! It wasn't re
ward I was after. * I scorns the base ineini ration.
I only wanted to be took care 01, arid have noth
ing to tlo but to take care of the public, and I’ve
only got hall—nothing to do! Being took care
ol was the main thing. Republics !# ungrateful;
I’m swaggered if they ain't. This is the way old
sojers is served.”
The man who gets an office is frequently
nnuh more to be pitied than lie who pursues
it ns a phantom that constantly eludes hi;
grasp. The taste for office vitiates forever
the appetite for any more regular employ
ment, and after a short career in which,
through wasteful habits necessarily acquired,
and party taxation, the incumbent of a place
is turned out of office as poor as he went into
.ib and what is worse, unfitted for the pursuit
of any legitimate calling.
Not among the least of the evils which
Andrew Johnson’s treachery has entailed
upon the country, is his utter derangement
of ail the departments of the public service.
The lull that usually follows the making of
presidential appointments at the beginning of
an dfficiarVerm has been~'bfbEenHap;~the"
natural greed of men for place has been exr
ciied, and for every kind of official prize,
from a Cabinet Ministership to a bargeman’s
berth in the Custom House, there is a miser
able scramble. The amount of dirt con
sumed in this wild hunt after loaves
and fishes is beyond computation, and
for all this moral degradation the
apostate of the White House is respon
sible.: iv:::
For any description of office-seeking a cer
tain amount of ability and undeniable en
ergy and enterprise are required. The pos
sessor of these qualities could scarcely take
them to a worse market. Rogues take more
pains than honest men to earn a living, and
upon the same principle there is scarcely a
regular business that is not better worth
follow ing than the filling of public offices.
THE CITY ICE BOAT.
The Cityjce Boat, which was temporarily
disabled by her last trip, is again at work and
doiDg good service. We referred yesterday
to the injury which has been done to the trade
of Philadelphia by permitting the port to be
frozen up year after year, and to the necessity
of vigorous action to prevent a perpetuation
of this evil. There are,at this moment,eleven
vessels in port, loaded and cleared, but tumble
to get away, containing 39,C00 barrels of
petroleum, worth $400,000, and there are
00,000 barrels of the same article wait
ing shipment, as soon as vessels can
got up to the wharves. Here is a single item
;oi trade, upon which a complete embargo is
placed, for want of a proper supply of
gilicitnt ice-boats. During the last year, 255
vessels cleared from this port, loaded with
petroleum alone, and when- the vast' coal
trade, and all the miscellaneous tralhe whioh
goes to make up the commerce of 'Plliladol
phia are added, we begin to get some idea of
the interests which are really at stake. And
yet, after the'first cost ot'buildin& a second ice
boat, the whole cost o> keeping it in opera

rionior a winter scashn is only about $16,-
000. For this trifling sum, in
addition to the present expense, the;
jjtat of Philadelphia can bo kept free and
open and we shall be saved the mortififcatdon
anrithe direct loss of having the great trade
Which properly belongs to this City, diverted
to other ports; where, either from milder cli
mate or more energetic public spirit, it will
not he subjected to the uncertainties, delays
and losses of an annual ice-blockade.
There is a bill pending before the Legisla
ture providing for the abolition of the ‘ office
of Phonographic Reporter in the District
Court. The bill has been hurried through the
House and now seems likely to meet with the
approbation of the Senate, and yet not a sin
gle reason has been urged why it should pass.
Indeed it is difficult to perceive upon what
possible ground the abolition of this office can
be advocated. While this is the case, there
are a multitude of reasons why it should be
continued. In the first place, it does not cost
the city anything. The extremely
moderate salary attached to the posi
tion is raised by a tax of two
dollars, in the shape of costs, imposed upon
each. case. An exact and literal record of
every word uttered is obtained as it could not
possibly be in any other way, and the value
of these records, where millions of dollars
are involved in the course of a year, must be
apparent to the dullest comprehension. It
glso enables the judges of the higher courts to
dbtain a literal transcript of cases which are
carried up to them, and to perceive the pre
cise shade of language used by the lower,
judges in making their charges; and it enables
lawyers to obtain precise copies of evidence
and of judicial decisions. These are but a few
of the reasons why this bill should not pass.
There are others equally cogent, and these
have suggested themselves to a large body of
eminent lawyers in this city, who have pe
titioned the Legislature not to pass the bill.
TCFfi.der these circumstancesthat body will in
flict a greviouß wrong upon a large class of
our citizens, and upon an important interest,
if they insist upon carrying this measure
through. It is to be hoped , that it will be
more carefully considered in the Senate and
will be defeated.

EUROPEAN AFFAIRS
Cicnerol Cluscret.
The Paris correspondent of the London i-'tolc
fuys:
A question of some interest to Yankees is ilkelv
to be presented to the Paris Courts. During the
civil war In the United States, a Frenchman of
the name of Uluseret took service with the North-,
ern troops, and as he had shortly before quitted
the French army, in which he had attained the
rank of captain, he was made a general. He re
cently came to France, and os he is afflicted with
the cncotlhes scribendi, be took to writing in
ultra-democratic newspapers, under'the signa
ture of General Cluscret. He, in particular,
published some articles against . the Army
hill; and, on account of the tide of General, they
attracted attention. The government made the
militury newspapers proclaim that he is nothing
more in Franco than an ex-captain. But he per
sisted in writing under the namo'of general; As
the military title is highly in France,
and is extraordinai iljr common in the United
States; the government is not disposed to let one
of its subjects' who may gain it in tho States pa
rade if here. 80 M. Cluscret has been cited bc
foro.tbe,examining magistrates On the charge of
assuming a title- to which ho has no right in
Franco—an illegal act in this countiy punishable
by fine—and it is supposed that a prosecution
will follow.
THE PAPAI STATES. n>
JPrlnce Iturblut: and. tbe FapaJUUrwy.
The Roman correspondent of the Ndziohe says:
“We have had now for some days among ns tha
nephew of Itnrblde, Emperor of Mexico, whom
the un fortunate Maximilian had adoptodashls
son, and designated as liis successor totlie - Em
pire. ThisyoaDg man has enlisted in the squad
ron of picked dragoons in the Papal army.', It Is
said that he brought with him, and deposited in i
the highest hands,many documents relating tp bis
unhappy adopted father. Bat I give, this no flea
with much reserve, for now one may say that
there scarcely comes a single person from Moxico
who, according to common report, does not-bring
with him some document relating to-the Emperor
Maximilian; so that if we listened to thovarlous
stories announcing at periodical intervals' the
arrival of Buch documents, we must aseumethat,
by this time, they would form not merely a folio
volume, but an entire library.. What.:l ara\
assured about this youth Is,his profound aversion
to everything connected with the Imporial
Government of France. He seems to’ have in-
herited from his adoptive father all the rancors
:i which animated Maximilian during the last
i Period of his empire against Napoleon 111., bv
iij whom he believed himself decoyed and betrayed.
:.i. .Our priests certainly foster this antl-gallicim
•r aversion of the' young Mexican, and to their ca
ll jolementsit is sowing- that ho' hasentered the
ti “Pm army. His military service hi. naturally,

Id the trial of the Rev. Stephen tL Tyng, the

are to record their decision on the charges in
writing, whether guilty or not guilty, and if
guilty epecify the punishment to be'infflctcd. A
copy of this decision is then to be placed without
delay in tbe hands of the accused, and a secoijd
copy, together with all the evidenpc and

will then remain with the Bishop to affirm or an

punishment fixed by the Court, but has no
power to increase It. If convicted, the con

Terminer and General Jail Delivery, for any
crime or misdemeanor which is not precluded
from being bailed by the Constltntion, shall be
admitted to bail, after sentences, with one or

before which the trial has been had,
if the person shall, immediately after
sentence, make application in writing for

purchase, hold and convey in this State such real
estate as may be requisite for the convenient
transaction of Its business, and legalizing the ti
tles already acquired. Referred.
(Continued from tho last Pago.)
Mr- Meredith argued -that thffgrounds of the
plain tiffs to: the writ of error were purely tech
nical ones, and that the powor claimed by the
Court of Quarter Sessions wbb based upon the
law of necessity, and was demanded for the
protection of the consciences of the Judges
aa well as for the cause of humanity and justice.
Mr. _ Meredith’s speech was clear, eloquent and
forcible, and was interpolated by several charac
teristic sallies pf genuine humor and wit, which
were keenly enjoyed bv the court and tho crowd
of listeners.
The ease was closed by Attorttey-Gcuernl
Brewster in a brief but very powerful. speech,
lie alluded to the careful manner in wldeh ail
judicial power in this country is limited by,con
stitutions and legislative statutes. The power to
pardon and to reprieve is distinctly, veiitel la
the Governor, ana in him alone. Tho Supreme
Cqitrt, by,direct statute, possesses the power to
uicdlly.the sentences of the lower Courts but
even it can only so modify them, as to make
them conform to law. Air. Brewster ably
. ciifted tho. point of Air, Meredith's argument,
that a Judgment . under- a rule to .recon
suit r was* of, the naturo of a i judgment-nin,
Jle insisted upon the total dlsslmilarity of ithe
two cases’. He also attacked the arguntcnlLof
intensity, showing that the court pokessed the

Washington, Feb. 20 Governor Yatcaendea
vored in the Senato to call up. his motion made
yesterday, and have it adopted, to proceed to the
consideration of the bill admitting Colorado, but
Senator .Trnmbnll succeeded in having the Senato
take up the bill reported from the Judiciary Com

Benator Dooljttle gave notice , that on Satur

of the resolution offered by bini. some two weeks
agoi to lay the reconstruction bill last passed by
tbe House on the table.
Senator Trhmbnll then proceeded to address
the Senate In support of his bill, and stated that
he desired to obtain a vote upon it to-day, but
Senator fiuekalew and other Democrats objected
to this, ..-but expressed their ‘Willingness • to
have a vote to-morrow. The speeches on this
bill from both sides will probably be short, 'and
there lknot much disposition toaebate it. As soon
ss this has been decided, it is the intention of
Senator Yates to call up the Colorado bill, and
no doubt exists as to its passage.

Order No. 10, issued by tho President, as assigns
Lieuteuant-Geheral Sherman to the command of
the newly created Military Division of the
Atlantic, with headquarters in this

Sherman will remain in command of the Military

Washington, Feb. 20th—The Retrenchment
Committee met to-day and examined Hon. Nathan
Sargeant, Commissioner of Customs, relative to
tbe appointment of special agents in his Bureau
of the Treasury Department. Tho Committee
have before them Benator Patterson’s bill forbid
ding the appointment by tho President
or any of the beads of Departments, of special
agents. They propose examining a large num
