THE 01RA.KD COUMB REPORTS.
It speaks well lor the good moral sense of
that no man’s personal or offi
cial character can be stricken down; with im
wnity. It speaks equally well for the solid
Integrity of the Republican party that when
ever any of its represehtativsß Show a dispo
mtion to abuse their office they are likely to
be held to a stem and Btrict account, not only
Jhy their constituents, but by their own offi
cial colleagues.
Ihe investigation which followed the dis
missal of President Smith from Girard Col
lege was' demanded by a public sentiment
which could not be disregarded or resisted.
It has been long, patient and searching. Its
results'have been submitted to Councils, in. a
voluminous mass of testimony, accompanied
by two reports, which will be found in to
day’s paper. The majority report is signed
by. : Messrs. Smith, Littleton, Martin,
(Francis,) Cattell and Wagner. The minority
report is signed by Messrs. Harper, Marcus,
Tyson and Francißcus. The tenth member
•f the Committee, Mr. Stokley, signs neither,
report. .
Before noticing the reports themselves, it
is proper to Bay a word about their history.
The Chairman c»f the committee, Mr. Smith,
to a brother-in-law of one of -the ten direc
tors, Mr- Foust, and is generally understood
to have moved the appointment of the com
mittee in order to control its action and de
fend the ten directors. The report which he
prepared and submitted to the committee
felly' carried out this idea, and, but for the ex
cellent material of which the committee
was composed,Councils Would probably have
received a white-washing report which would
Save left the public in the dark, and perpetu
ated the blot which had been cast upon the
reputation of Major Smith and of the College
itself. It was only at the eleventh hour that .
this report was withdrawn and the report j
adopted by a majority of one, which now j
.stands as the expression of the opinion of the j
majority. ' • ■. i
Wife regard to fee two reports, there is
reach to be said. Both condemn the action
of fee ten Directors. Both vindicate Major
Smith’s fair fame for loyalty. Both pay
homage to his intellectual attainments and
abilities. The difference begins wife an ar
gument on fee part of the majority to prove
that was a difference of
opinion between President Smith and these
ten Directors, therefore it was necessary to j
have' a change' in the office of President. |
Herein lies the fatal weakness of the major
ity report. For while fee investigation con- !
victa these ten Directors of having,
come before fee public with a long
catalogue of horrible charges against |
Major Smith which they have utterly failed ;
to substantiate, save in one or two compara- j
tively unimportant particulars, it also demon- .
Btrateß the fidelity, wisdom, patience and '
ability with which Major Smith has dis- ;
charged his duties. From such a summing
up of testimony the majority might have
inferred feat it was the duty of these ten
Directors to resign, but that they should
justify Major Smith’s removal on such a
ground is illogical and wrong.
The majority report admits that the cases
df severe punishment were'confined to the
most unruly boys in the College,. anil con
sisted of solitary confinement. Major Smith
gives a full explanation of these niucb-talkcd
of “lock-ups,” and states the fact that they
only became occasionally offensive from the
■wilful misconduct of these young reprobates,
regular provision was made to avoid
any such necessity. The sole remain
mg point, of fee majority report
refers to fee chapel seivice, and this is well
answered in fee minority report. Major
'Smith may be inferior to Mr. Allen in the
gift of extemporaneous prayers and
but feat this difference should be cited as /(Sir
objection of such great weight as to cause his
removal, wifi scarcely he conceded in this
eommunity. The majority report closes with
a simple resolution asking for fee discharge
of fee committee.
The minority report is signed by four gen
tiemen who have come to much more posi
tive opinions after their investigation of this
business. They declare that the discipline of
President Bmife waßfirm and in strict accord
ance wife fee regulations, and not more
rigid than was necessary in bo large an
Institution. They discriminate between testi
mony feat was manifestly worthless and that
which was entitled to respect They de
/ dare that fee manner of Major Smith’s re
moval was harsh, hasty and deserving of
Bevere censure. They very properly brand
the after efforts of the ten Directors, in their
iunqus card, as “entirely inexcusable and
entitled to fee strongest condemnation. ” The
report closes with a resolution of “ unquali
fied censure.” 'Tine whole- style -and tone of
this report is manly, fearless and high-toned,
and reflects much credit upon fee gentlemen
who present it
The testimony accomp any ing fee report is
necessarily very lengthy; Bo far as we have
been able to examine it, it sustains the c0n
;.... qJußippß of the minority report, and.
Smith's own evidence and defence is so con-
elusive and so eloquent that it not only proves
the falsity of the charges to which it is spe
cially directed, but goes far to dispose of the
notion of his incapacity to conduct the
"chapel services,” which seem to have been
nitb a bugbear to these Directors.
..Wbat action Councils will take on these re
ports remains to be seen. The majority re
' port goes further in the right direction than
we bad hoped. But fee minority report em
bodies the true sense of the community, and
Us, adoptionwill be cordially endorsed.
■Wbtifeer it is or not, there is no choice left
Ibv'toe ten Directors who have brougiit
! nil this scandal upon, the College,
the community and themselves. They;
should resign their office at mice. |
‘they have committed themselves to an as-i
Bdnlt npon the private character and public?
position of a fellow-citizen With whom they j
shonld have been proud to be associated,
and their assault has resulted in their own
confusion and defeat They owe it to the
College and to their party to retire from the
Board of Directors and thus to permit
others, better fitted for the duty, to take their
place.
BATES AND SOOtHEHH LOSAITII.
Tho Democratic) journals in the North con
tinue to find a text from which to preach the
doctrine of Southern loyalty, in the enthu
siasm with which a certain Sergeant Bates is
greeted in various cities of the South. In
spired doubtless, by the notoriety gained by
the pedestrian Weston, Bates has undertaken
to march from Vicksburg to Washington with
the American flag over his shoulder, without
weapons, and without money in his purse.
The plan is open to the objection that the
peripatetic Bates, being without funds, has
deliberately determined to live upon the
hospitality of the people along his route, and
this makes him liable to the suspicion tha
his patriotism is not as entirely unselfish as it
should be, to be genuine, for it may be that
Bates’ resolution to leave Vicksburg, was
compelled by. the very same condition or
things that induced him to undertake the
journey without cash in his pocket. But we
can afford to be charitable with him in view
of the fact that his solitary march through the
South may do good in two ways; first by re
calling the now almost forgotten fact that
Sherman once did the same thing with a mul
titude of sergeants and flags, and also by re
minding the Southerners that the authority of
which the flag is the symbol is supreme in
that region. _
But Bates has so far met with no obstacle
in his journey. In every city into which he
has entered, he has been warmly received,
and has partaken of the proffered hospitality
of the citizens with that ready grace which
so often distinguishes gentlemen without a
cent in their pockets, ilis last triumph was
at Montgomery,. Alabama, where, he was
established at a botel as the guest of the city,
after marching in a procession of enthusiastic
citizens amid the huzzas of the multitude, the
music of sundry brass bands, and the waving
oi ladies’ handkerchiefs.
In view of this hearty welcome, the Demo
cratic press cannot perceive how' the South
erners can possibly be disloyal, and. they in
stantly assume that if Bates and his flag ex
cite intense enthusiasm, the United States
Government and its flag must necessarily be
objects of almost idolatrous worship with the
same Class. We cannot perceive the justice
or reasonableness of the conclusion. Bates
is a Democrat, and has loudly asserted his be
lief in the virtue of the Southern people, and
it is quite possible that whatever of this en
thusiasm is not bom of the natural disposi
tion of Americans to shout themseves hoarse
over the smallest hero of the hour,
springs from a desire to honor a
man who has so much faith in
very impalpable excellence. Because
Bates carried a flag, it is not a necessary con
sequence that it is the flag that iB honored by
! his reception. Weston created some excite-
I rnent and no little enthusiasm upon his tour,
! hut the whole American people did not there
} fore pledge themselves to love and honor
; pedestrianigm, or anything else. The simple
1 thing that excited the admiration of certa n
; easily excited people was the physical endu
rance of the man and nothing more.
Men must he judged by something else
than their capacity for shouting, waving
handkerchiefs, and paying hotel bills. If
these men of Montgomery love the old flag
bo much, why, in the’ first place, did they
curgo it, and tight against it, so bitterly for
four years? Aud wny do they now refuse
tiue, and hottest allegiance to the government
of which it is only the emblem? Would
they not have fluug their caps quite aa high
in air, ir the impecunious Bates had carried
the rebel ensign? We think so. At this
very hour they persist in refusing to return
to their allegiance, and to accept the most
liberal and generous terms ever offered to a
rebellious people; their papers are
filled with the foulest invective hurled
against Northern men and Northern
institutions; they lose no opportunity
»to malign the dead Lincoln, and
to hold his memory up to ridicule aud con
tempt ; upon them depend entirely for sup
port, vile journals in the North which are
filled .with appealß for repudiation, and
with outrageous demands for the assassination
of such men as - General Grant and Senator
Sumner; by barbarous persecution they make
the South uninhabitable for Northern men
i who invest capital there; they refuse to ac
| cept freedom for the negro as a fixed fact,and
to give him his rights excepting under com
pulsion; they regard the It4pblican party,that
subdued them and preserved the Union
they profess to love, but sought to destroy,
as their worst enemy, and they throw what
ever influence they have, upon the side of a
party that sympathized with them and aided
them during the rebellion. In the face of all
thiß itwill require something more than an
ovation to Sergeant Bates to induce us to
believe-that they are sincerely loyal. By
their fruits we shall know them; and if they
bring forth nothing but hatred aud malignity
arid utter disregard of - their political oblige
flops, and give us only three cheers and a
j brass band lor Bates, We think honest men
I will be justified in regarding the quality of
| their loyalty aB very much strained.
Swindling fire insurance companies by do-
L straying property .upon which heavy insur
ance have been effected, is an old phase of
rascality, and there arc reasons for believing
that life insurance companies have also been
victimized by sharpers. In .the case of life
. insurance companies toe property insured is
: not destroyed; but there is a pretence of a
i lots, and the individual insured having made
! a sham of having left the land of the living,
the companies insuring his worthless life have
been culled upon to pay toe amouut of the
: ritk. A suit growing out of this sharp prao
‘ tice occupied the attention of the '.District
i Court of litis city lor more taut! a week,
j and it resulted within a few days
in a verdict for the American Life
Insurance Company, which was the de

fendant in the case. A man named k'>* 9
Charles Richards,whose residence, occupation |
and antecedents could not bo ascertained, had .
secured life insurance to the extent of $20,000; .
then persuaded two ignorant men ,to the bank
. of the Susquehanna river to Bee him swim, ,
; one dark evening, knowing that neither ot j
i them would go into the water; told them he j
i would probably get the cramp, went in, and j
when out of sight cried out that he had toe |
crpmp, and they never saw him again. He:
; was afterwards seen alive by four witnesses,
produced by the defendants. All the circum- ,
; stances attending the obtaining of the insu
ranee strongly indicated fraud; and that toe
jury took this view of it is proved by their
Verdict The “American” has done well to
resist such scoundrelism and the result of toe
lute trial will tend to discourage similar
attempts at fraud. j
Death of Hon, Joseph B. InKersoll, \
Hon. Joseph Heed Ingersoll dlod yesterday i
afternoon at bis residence No. 231 South Fourth ,
street. Mr. Inecrsoll was born in this city June. '
14tb, 1786. He graduated from Princeton College
in 1804, and at once commenced toe Btudy of
law.. He was admitted to practice June 2d,
1807, and he soon entered upon a successful career
in bis profession. Early in life Mr. Ingersoll be.
came prominent os a politician of toe old Whig
school, earnestly espousing the pri£.elple3 of
that party until Its death with the close of the
administration of Mr. Fillmore. Since that time
Mr. - Ingersoll has lived in absolute retirement
from active polltidalllfe. During toe rebellion
he was a firm and earnest friend of the Union i
and contributed to the cause of loyalty, an able
pamphlet called “Secession ; A Folly and
Crime." During the years of 1835, ’36
and,’37 Mr. Ingersoll was In Congress
as a representative from the Second District. He
then declined a renomination, but In. 1841 he
again accepted a nomination; he was elected and
took a very active part in the exciting debates ot
which resulted in the formation of the famous
tariff of 1842. Mr. Ingereoll was a firm believer
in Henry Clay, and he entered most heartily into
the tariff contest, standing firmly' by too princi
ple of protection to’ American manufactures o!
which the great Kentuckian was the apo^tlo.,
Mr Ingersoll continued to represent the
Second Coneretsional District until the Close of
his term in 1841). He was subsequently appointed
by President Fillmore to represent the United
States at the Court of St. James. At the close ot
the official term of Mr. Fillmore, Mr. Ingersoll
returned to his home in this city, where, as we
have already said, he remained in absolute retire
ment from public life to the close of the honored
and honorable career wmcli ended yesterday.
Mr. Ing! rsoll was atrentjeman of fine scholarly at
tainments,bis A Ima Mater having conferred upon
him the degree of LL. D. He also received the
Oxford degree of D. C. L. In 1809 he published
a transl lion from the Latin of Roccns s tracts
De Navibus el Xaulo and De Amecurationc.
Mr. Ingersoll was a gentleman and a Statesman
of the old school. His appearanco was dignified,
and his demeanor was marked by a courtesy and
consideration for others that gave evidence of a
kind heart and a gentle nature. His career as a
politician and a Statesman proved him to be a
man of sterling principle, and one who was not
to be swerved from his convictions of right by
any considerations of expediency or party
trickery. He was the intimate friend of Henry
Clay, and he was thrown into constant associa
tion with the statesmen and men of letters of a
generation that has almost entirely passed away.
In private life Mr. Ingersoll bore a character that
waß without a blemish, anil in his death Philadel
phia has cause to mourn, because a good man
and an honored citiz n bus passed away.

[Special Uwpatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.]
Washington, February 2lst— A gentleman
who arrived here this morning, from Annapolis
says that the Maryland Legislature Is in a slate of
intense excitement and Indignation over the ac
tion of the Senate-in refusing to ad
roit Philip R. Thomas. Leading members
of the Legislature met In. secret caucus
last evening, and, it Is understood, resolved to
elect Mr. Thomas Over again, and send him a
second time to the door of the Senate to
g resent bis credentials and demand admission..
ome very threatening talk Is indutgod in
by the malcontents in the Legislature, such
as that In case the Senate refuses to
admit Mr. Thomas,and thus deprives the State of
Maryland of her just representation in that
brunch of Congress, measures should be taken
bv the State authorities to prevent the collection
of United Slates revenue m Maryland, until the
Senate recedes from its present position.

Kingston, Jamaica, February Gtlr.—Your cor
respondent had an interview to-day with Capt.
Abbott H. Robins. of the American schooner
Hunnab Grant, which arrived here this morning;
in distress, demanding the immediate assistance
and prdtectlon of the American Consul, having
; hud eight of bis crew seized by Spaniards on the
V< nczuela coast—be and his vessel having but
narrowly escaped a similar fate. The following
! psrticuluisl have been enabled to glean:
■ The Hannah Grant left Newburyport (Mass.)
on tl|o 10th of April last on a whaling expedl
i lion. She crnlsed for some time iii the North
Atlantic and then proceeded to Barbadoes, where
she arrived on the 7th November. After replen
ishing her supply of provisions she proceeded to
Dominica for additional seamen, and from thence
. she sailed for Band Bay (Cape Rosa) on the
Si'nthetu coast of Hayti. Leaving HayU on the
12th of January last, with the intention of whaling
oil St. Lucia,she was prevented by contrary winds
and a heavy curient, and changing her course,
nii ( bored at Point Arena, on the western side of
tl.e Peninsula of Paraguana, and here the story
commences.
Od Sunday, January 2Gtb, Captain Robins left
the Hannah Grant, in an open boat, and reaching
the shore, was very kindly treated by the natives,
who were Spanish Indians; andt in company of~
two'irf them, ho traveled up the country bn
horseback, and returned in safety to his vessel.,
On.the 31st, a large number of native Spaniards
collected on'the'buacli as he was leaving, with
the intention of rounding Cape Roman (Vene
zuela), but meeting with head wiude, tbe Hannah
. Grant dropped anchor on Saturday, tho 2d, at 5
A. M. Captain seven of a boat’s
crew, wenton shore, here, and speedily found
hirnsdi surrounded by an -armed force oi some
'• thirty men, and it is now suspected that their in
tention was to take Captain Robins and his-
crew .prisoners,. aud..then-to:-selz« tho - Han'mih
Grant. Resistance would have boon of little
avail, and viewing all the circumstances aud see
ing thelruestateof.attUira,,Captain .Robins.sub-,
mttted.to, the proposition to go off,, with, only a
portion of tie; boat's, crew uud four, armed ha-.
livesiiu-placeLof three: of, his owni men, whom
he was compelled to leave behind, with the. pro
mise of hringing his vessel 'nearer into land. - On
J teaching the HaDnah- Gran t, the armed natives ■
found a greater mimbcrof seiunen on board than
! they ? teemed to anticipate, and- viewing'

he conltTvSce the house in which they had been

jtbat an armed force might attack his vessel under
cover of night. He therefore considered it most
iprndent for the Safety of his vessel and crew to
/weigh anchor and double-reef hie topsail* which
having done, he.lay to for abont an nour within
a mite of tbe spot upon which the Ship’s'-boat
'had been, beached, the American , ensign being

The following are the men left in custody of

BAH TO DOMINGO.
The Santana Q«es»on~~nebate m the
Halienal Congress—Npeech or an
: EminehtDomlnican outlie Subject,
(iSpecislCofresponOence of the Y. Tribune,]
SantoDomixgo CiTT, Jan. 15, 1868—The
question of the lease of Bamana contlnnea to agi
tate the phblic mind here, and the pnblic discus
sion of it does not lessen the feeling of opposi
tion which the action of Cabral in the matier has
awakened. On tbe 16th ultimo, a lengthy debate
on the subject tookplace in tbe National Con
gress, and it will give someidea of the sentiments
generally entertained by the Dominican
people relative ’ to the proposed trans
fer of Samuna to the United States, to
present a resume of the sucech delivered
on the occasion by Benor J. B. Zafra, one of the
most able members of the Congress, and one of
tbe most eminent of the pnblic men of Santo
Domingo, Senor Zaira discussed the subject
from a tbree-fold point of view: first, as a poli
tical question; second, asan economical question;
nnd, ihird, as a social question. Under the first
bead, he maintained that the proposed transfer
of Bamana is opoosed to the fundamental princi
ples of the Dominican Constitution, and to the
laws of Santo Domingo; and that, to introduce
into their feeble Republic a foreign power of
sneb immense strength as the United States,
would be to attack the independence of Santo
Domingo, and to put the nationality in peril.
“To pnll down the Dominican flag,’’ he said, “in
order to plant a foreign Hag in its place, is not
only repugnant, but odious, and whatever may
be the motives, such an act could not be regarded
otherwise lhaD as an act of treason.'’ On the
second point he contended that, as an economical
question, the proftosed lease was an absurdity.
“Yon may lease a spot of land to a private indi
vidual,” herald, “yon may lease him anything;
but a State, when it has established itself upon
the laud or upon tbo sea, considers possession
equal to title., And will yon say to the United
States, when the term of their lease shall wave
‘expired, ‘withdraw from this place; give ns back
our properly; we delivered it up to you a desert
and a solitude, and you oqght to return it to us,
covered though it be with towns, with popula
tion, with railroads, fortifications, and the fruits
of foreign industry and commerce, in order that
we might, reestablish our Government over it ?’
Where is the man who will say to the Americans:
‘Yon shall not pass this frontier?’ - ' Who will
flop the human flood which, from Sarnana, will
invade ns. until it bus forced ns into the heart of
tbe Republic? But independently of this con
sideration, the sum stipulated iu the lease could
not extricate us from the situation of difficulty
In which we are placed. It will servo only to
cover toe deficit in the budget, and, in that case,
the exigencies which may"be created by such a
state of things are incalculable. The deficit will
Increase, and we shall not be able to cover it.
Tbe result of this strange financial combination
v ill be that at the end of one or two yeare wo
shall have to lease or sell auoiher portion of our
territory to satisfy our expensive follies, until, in
Ihc end, we shall alienate the whole of it. In
dealing with Ibe social aspect of the question the
Senator was particularly emphatic. “From tbe
day,'' he continued, “when yon introduce the
foreigner among us, of different language, color,
religion, and cus'qms from ours, there will be a
war of casie. Wherever there are whites who
despise blacks who have escaped from a
slate of slavery, people will always look
wiili un evil eye upon those who, are not
of tbe same color as themselves. To part ivilh
Somalia in the way proposed is to declare war
against the Hnytien people, who. already full of
indignation agulni-t the cause of this fatal act of
annexation, would have the right to regard us as
traitors to our nationality. It would be to dc
clurp war agaiust the nations of Europe who hold
possessions in America, and who claim Ihc right
i to plant their flag also ttpou other points of
! our territory, in order to insure their safety and
j to counterbalance the influence of the United
| Btates. It Would be war against property. Jie
causo.lhe people, seeing many suddenly elevated
to wealth by this territorial speculation, while
they remain poor, would consider themselves
authorized to revenge their poverty by depreda-,
lions upon the fruits of the industry of innocent
foreigners,. whom . they, would not be long in
coming to consider as usurpers. In short, gentle
men, it would be to decree the extinction of our
race by putting beside a republic of 30,000,000 of
souls a colony of 6,000,000 of Africans, for whom
place cannot be found In the great American Re
public, and wbich. iucreaeed by several millions
more of Europeans whom the peninsula of
Samana could not contain, would extend itself
irom Hipney to Mole St. Nicholas, and from
Cape Beatta to Porto Platte.”

[From tbeClcveland Leader, of Feb. Ift]
About ten o'clock last .night a large two-si.orv
frame dwelling-bonse, No. 90 Cliuton street, was
discovered to be in names. Tbe building was
owned by Mr. Efjward Sanford, and occupied by
Copt.,Buell. The latter, with his family, nadre
tired, and were asleep when the . lire broke oat,
It is supposed to have originated in the library,
but from what cause is wholly unknown. When
the inmates of. the house were aroused, the dames
had enveloped a large portion of the interior,
and the bnUding was filled with suffocating heat
and smoke.
Mr. Buell's first thought was for two little boys
who were sleeping in the chamber. He rushed
up stairs to the room in which they were lying,
all unconscious of the danger' which threatened.
Seizing them In his arms he eorang to the stair
way, but so rapidly had the flames spread, that
escape by, that .means was.:entirely.. ent. off.
horrible death stared them In the face, and to
that anxious father, wifh his precious charge, it
wus a tboment oflntense alarm and Anxiety. He
bethought himself of a window at the rear of tho
house, opening upon the roof bf the kitchen, and
hastily ruined his steps thither. Fortunately
the fire had not made such progress in that di
rection. as to prevent bis egress, and he suc
ceeded ir, escaping to the ground in safety,-with

Tbe Removal qf Mr. Stanton.
[Special Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.]
Washington, Feb.2l.—There is much, excite
ment in both the Senate and House over the re
moval of Secretary Stanton. ,The President's com
munication to the Senate on jthe subject is very
brief, simply setting forth that he has perempto
rily removed Edwin M. Stanton, and appointed
General Lorenzo Thomas Secretary of War ad
interim, with orders to take immediate charge of
the War Office. The Senate will go into Execu
tive session soon,, this afternoon, when notion
will be taken on the matter.
Aresolntion will be introduced in Executive
’session, requesting Secretary Stanton to disregard
the President’s order and to maintain his
present position. Leading Senators are freely;
stating within the past hour that this
action of the President will undoubtedly lead to
his impeachment. In connection with the re
moval of Secretary Stanton, the President has
taken another extraordinary step. In the same
mesenge to the Senate he also Informs that
body that he has nominated Geueral
George H. Thomas to be Lieutenant-General
by brevet, and sleo gives him a still higher pro
motion, making him General by brevet. James
R. Hubbeii, Ohio, has been nominated for Minis

Mr. Grimes (Iowa) read from the Globe a report
of a speech of Mr. Hendricks on the Reconstruc
tion.bill, a difference of opinion that bad oc
curred between that Senator and himself, In re
gard to a telegram having been sent through j.
E. Harvey, In 1661,. informing'the authorities
that Fort Sumter was to be attacked.
He (Grimes) had held that the telegram was
to that effect." He said he remembered very dis
tinctly that such had been the impression of the
majority of this body, but it seemed from a letter
lie had received from Mr. Harvey that they hid
been mistaken.
The letter was read,and considerable discussion
followed, during- which it was charged that the
telegram whieb Messrs. - Cameron, Sumner and
Conkling said tbey-had seen was sent at the In
sti ation of Mr. Seward, without the knowledge
oi the rest of the Cabinet, some claiming that
Mr. Lincoln had been cognizant.
Mr. Johnson (Md.): charged that Mr. Seward
at that time had carried on the War and Navy
Deportments without the knowledge of the heads
of Departments.
