Considering the mag nitude Of the interests involved, this bill may well he set down as the most dangerous piece of legislation of the present session. The premiums already offered for the commission of murder ate very great. The chances of escaping,detection through the clumsiness of our police system; the chances of a packed iuiy-box; the (hances of fabricated evidence; the chances of appeals from judicial decisions; i the chances of misguided public sympathy; the chances of reprieves and pardons; the •chanceß of escape from prison-, all 1 these are premiums which are al , ready offered for the shedding ol * human blood. The only fixed barrier that has hitherto been interposed Is the inflexible requirement of the law itßelf. The Governor of the State needs this barrier. He is, ordi narily, a humane man. The pressure brought to bear upon him, in every case, no mailer how flagrant, is relentless and very strong. >. His one protection is in the stern demand of the law which leaves him no option. The individual responsibility of executing the ex treme penalty ol the law should not be thrown upon the Governor. It puts the bur den of hanging the murderer upon the indi vidual conscience of the man who may hap pen to be Governor,"by inviting him to im pose a lighter sentence. It holds out this great chance of working upon the Governor’s feelings to the man who is meditating mur der, and so adds this crowning premium to all the other Inducements which we have al ready alluded to. This legislation is very different from that asked for by Governor Geary, in his last message. In that document, special legisla tion was asked for, in certain cases, whose peculiar circumstances were such as to make them exceptional and to demand Such relie t as was aßked for by the Governor. Bui the bill passed, yesterday, is general and not special. It is the practical abrogation of a law that has stood for seventy-five years on our statute books. It is a move in the direc tion of an abatement of the penalty of mur dar, and it is therefore a move in the wrong direction. Governor Geary’s suggestion, last winter, is the true one. Where special cases arise, as they may, occasionally, requiring the interposition of -the Executive, and yet not deserving an un - conditional’ pardon, special relief can always be obtained by the Governor from the Legis lature; but it is safe to predict that, with such ~ a law as this in operation, there will be very few murderers in Pennsylvania who will not be able to work on the feelings of any Gov - ernor sufficiently to obtain a commutation of bis sentence. This bill has been passed too hastily. It was -put through both Houses in the same day’s session, and yet it involves conse quences to the public welfare and safety which demanded, what they certainly have nbt received, a very deliberate and thorough consideration by every member of the Legis lature. HONEST OFTICULB. :The;people ore indulgiog the hope that we have entered upon an era in the history of the elvll service of the country, when honesty and abHily are to become the rule and Dot the exception among those who hold public office, lit, is a comfortable hope, and one to theTrealiaation of which all good men should . contribute according to their opportunities. . It 1b caty.for honest men to sustain honest officials, .except under one condition of af . fairs. Itoometimes comes to pass that such . officials, in the strict discharge of their duties, ate compelled to make decisions or to ex . ecute laws .which are adverse to the or the interests of the very men , wio, but tor these personal interests, would be foremost In upholding all Buch honest officials to 4he uttermost Self-Interest, ns everybody kaowe, is the first law of nature, and the actions and motive and worth of : otttez men take strong coloring in our eyes, according to the particular medium through which they are viewed in their relations to individual interacts. There is a case in point, of this sort, just BOW.io this. city,.to which we feel warranted to call ,public attention on account of its peculiar character. One of the General Ap juaiserajaf the JPhiiadelphia Custom-House is ohr well-known fellow-citizen, Mr. Lorin Blodgett. Jt is sot In any invidious spirit that .wo .refer *to that gontleman as one of oar “honest officials. ” Though a native of tbs State ofjNew York, he lias long heen identified with the interests of Pennsyl vania and ; Pciladelpbia, and has brought ab the powers of a highly cultivated intelligence ,to the promotion of the industries of this , community. tEIs acquaintance with general business matters, cpmttlned with an inflexible integrity, has.made him a most usefal and impartial revenue officer- In deciding the many questions which are esbmitted to him as a-Geueral Appraiser, he kas been guided by an boneßt purpose to eniofico the revenue laws in accordance with the precise facts of each case. In doing <ao, ,sq Appraiser must necessarily -come in conflict, at times, .with merchants, dm porters and other business men, whose opinions, adverse to hie own, can scarcely fail to bo inspired, more or less, by their personal interest: whereas, the Appraiser, i 1 an honest man, has no iaterest at stake but that which is involved in the proper execu tion of the law. Bomo of these conflicts of opinion have made Mr. Blodgett unpopnhir with gentlemen who WOBld not deliberately permit a dts- honest decision of any case in their own favor, tint who are, nevertheless, unconsciously In fluenced by ‘‘the first law of nature,” and ibere is a pressure brought to boar to oust Mr. Blodgett from bis position. Wo trust, most earnestly, that it will prove unsuccessful- We have comparatively few Buoh gentlemen in our public offices. Where we are so for tunate as to have them, let us, by all means, keep them. It is by upholding and endorsing honest officials that the number of them Is to be increased. Ernies’. Galleries, at 816 Chestnut street, which are always attractive to lovers of art, are to*be made more so by a special exhibi tion of works of American Art, which is to open on Friday evening next. For that evening cards are issued, but afterwards the general public will have free admission daily. From the well-known enterprise and taste of the firm, it may be inferred that the collection will be veryifitereating. Florists and lovers of the rare and beauti ful in plants should attend a sale that is to take place to-morrow morning at the auction room of Mr. William Wolbert, No. 16 South Bixth street. M. Julio Lachaume, a graduate of the Agricultural and Horticultural School of Paris, has imported a large and varied lot of plants from Cuba, maßy of which are un known here. Their introduction is quite as event in the history of floriculture in Phila delphia. Indian Civilization. Onr Washington correspondence, as published in the second edition of yesterday’s paper, con tained some Inaccuracies concerning the vieit to Washington of our influential citizens, who were pleading for tbo civilization of the Indian. On their return we gave in onr editorial columns an accurate account of the object and effect of their vielt;we will thorefore now only refer to that which seome needful to correct the error, and to briDg tbo history down to the present time. The Committee did not aßk, as was stated by our correspondent, that the en tire control of Indian affairs should bo given to Commissioners, or that their expenses should be paid, or that they Bhould select super intendents and agents. They merely asked the President and the Secretary of the Intorior if it would be agreeable to them that the President should select five commissioners, who should serve gratuitously, paying their own expenses, to act jointly with the Secretary of the Interior in promoting the “civilization, Cbrielianlz »- lion and ultimate citizenship of the In dian, in the new Territory, into which the Sioux Indians and other affiliated nibes were being gathered. “The President and the Secretary of the Interior concurred cordially with the views expressed by the committee that salaried Government agents, unaided by phllan tbropists and Christian teachers, cannot "civilize end christianize” any pagan race. The Secretary of the interior, as is evidenced by his letter which we published a few days since, went far beyond the suggestions of the committee by de siring joint co-operation in all appropriations for Indians. . , . The Senate also cordially adopted the sugges tion by unanimously adding the following clause lo the Indian Appropriation bill then pending : "And be tt further macted, Tbat the President of the Uniteo States be and bo is hereby autho rized to organize a Board of Commissioners, to consist of not more than ten persons, to be se lected by him from men. eminent for their in telligence and philanthropy, to serve without pecuniary compensation, who may, under his direction exercise Joint control with the Interior Department over the disbursements of the appro priations made by this Act, or any part thereol that ihc President may designate, and lo pay the necessary expensesof transportation,Bubstsieoce and cleik-bire of said Commissioners while actu ally tngngtd in said sorvico, tboro is hereby ap pioprlated tint of apy money In the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, tbo sum of twenty-five thousand dollars, or so much thereof as may be ntcessary.” The Senate inserted the clauso appropriating for tbo traveling expenses of the coouinisdon from their own sense of propriety, - and the only objection made by Senators was that the amount Bhould bo increased. Tbe sum appropriated by the Senate for carrying into effect the new treaties was about two and a half million of dol lars, but as the House had determined to reject these appropriations there was an informal eon ircnee with theCubinetas to thesnai that should be pluctd at the disposal of the President toi the fiscal year beginning on the first day of July next. It was agreed that a lees sum than three millions of dollars might not snffice to Buppori the Indians who were to be takon from thoir bunting grounds, and to assist them in building cabins ana to furnish them with 6eed. farming Implements. <fte., to Indie them to self-support. It seems from the Congressional proceedings of yesterday that the House, in Committee of the ‘Whole, agreed to vote two“ mil lions of dollars to the President, to serve until December next, when Congress will reosstmble. The President of the United States having full authority, according to his discretion und Judgment, to nee said money In maintaining ptaeo with the Indians, promoting their civiliza tion, placing them,where practicable, on reserva tloLS, encouraging their efforts at self-support, and that ho has liberty to appoint such benovo lt nt gentlemen as he has confidence In to carry out tbe design of this appropriation. The Honse will, undoubtedly, to-day adopt the re commendation of the Committee, and as they are turn in ibe determination not to appropriate money specifically to any recent treaty, the Sen ate will no doubt recede from their position, either by n direct vote, or through the interven tion of a Committee of Conference. The action of the House Is in precise accordance with the views of the committee from this city, and the sum recommended tois be appropriated is felly ob large as that suggested by tbe Cabinet, as Congress wil! reassemble befoio the expiration of the first six months of tho fiscal year. By the latest intelligence from Gen. Sheridan ond others, the necessity for supporting Indians who have been taken from tbeir bunting grounds 1b most urgent, to prevent further outbreaks by Ismlsblng savages who, it seems, aro quite do* cilo when their cravings for food are satisfied.
