Wursmnmi. 914 Chwtont .treat aeSttfi EVENING BULLETIN.^ frtriay, April 16, 1860, TBE CirV TB6BTS. The paEtsge of tbe bill creating a Board of Truttfi seemß to meet with almost universal , approbation. The fact that the bill was care fully drawn by some of our ablest lawyers) makes iftolerably certain that its constitu (tonality will be sustained, if it should be eubj- cM to the test ot 11 igatlon. The bur den of tbe or cration of tbe bill will fall upon the gentlemen who may be selected as the Board of Trustees, and this burden will be no light one. If thsre were nothing but the Girard Estate to manage it would give labo r and responsibility enough to the Board. The CBtate is large, complicated and for from being Tally developed, as yet It requires close at tention and careful yet vigorous management' The administration of Girard College, apar c from the conduct of the estate, is another and. verydifferent duty, requiring a kind of ability which but few men possess in any high degree. It needß men of education, high moral principle, broai and liberal views as to the management of the large family of orphan boys in the College. Many men who could manage tbe invest ments or the developments of a large estate with a masterly hand, would be worse than useless when brought in contact with the totally different class of questions connected with the internal arrangements of an institu tion like Girard College. Fortunately, the Board of Trusts iB to be large enough to in clude men fitted for both of these diverse and difficult dutiea But the Girard Trusts are, by no means, all that this Board will have to look after. Twenty one other Trust Funds are to be ad ministered by these Trustees, some of which are of considerable importance. They are as follows: Trvtt t'und. T. D.

Thompson 8. Scotten JE. Crcseon i. 3, W Morns,, Tk. Clay pools A At mitt B. Bondi 101 These Trust Funds are extremely Various m their objects, and have been, for tbe most part, well administered. Wills Hospital, for example, Is one of the most admirable insti tutions of Philadelphia, and has accom plished incalculable good. The Grover Fund is at present d voted to the payment of certain annult es. bit will eventually furnish ala ge supply tf furl, soup aud bread to the poor. 'I he F<ar ldin legacy is appropriated by the will to the loan of Bmall sums, at five per cent interest, to “young married artifi cers," and, should it ever reach the enormrut sum anticipated by tbe curious calculation of the testator, to the supply of fresh aud wholesome water to the city, and for “public works which may be judged cl most general utility to the inhabitants, such as fortifications, bridges, aqueducts, public buildings, baths, pavements or what ever may make living in the towns more convenient to its people, and render it more agreeable to strangers.” Most of the other bequests, including that of the BouJiuot Estate, are for the uses of the poor of PalU delphia, and, under careful nursing, will be continually more valuable to the city for these purposes. Thus the ignorant, the poor, and the blind present their various and preesiQg claims upon this score and more of publlo trusts, and for their proper administration, this net? Beard of Trusts has boon created. Tne re sponsibilities involved in them are numerous and too complicated to be assumed as a mere tecident to the general duties of the City Councils, and the principle which places them in the hands of a separate, independent and permanent Board is the one whica promises the be6t success. Councils are composed of citizens who, very unfairly, receive no compensation for their public services, and, otien, very faw thanks, even for what they do well. Their duties are by no means light, and an hones 6 member of Councils, who devotes himself properly to the public, finds that his own busineiß suffers by the engrossing of so much valuable lime. To bo relieved from the charge of all these troublesome trusts funds Should therefore be regaided as a m >st de sirable result, and while we presume thrt the new Act of Assembly will be contested in the Courts, as a mutter of course, we trust tnat it will end with such a judicial couslrutuon as will take Ibis burden off from the shoulders of our overworked Councils. TOE DARIEN CANAL.. There is said to be considerable diversity of opinion in the United States Senate np in the question of the ratification of the Darien ship canal treaty, a number of learned speeches having been made for and against it. Wh it the result will be when a vole is taken, can not be ooDjeolnred, bat it will not be impor tant either way, from the tact that the Colombian Senate has repudiated the scheme, and refused to accept either the terms offered b| Caleb Cushing, or aay other proD'isitiin. For Ibis reason it seem 9 hardly worth while for the United States Senate to disease the treaty any further. Two parties will be re quired to make the bargain, and the more im portant party, in this Vhstance, declines to ne gotiate. Perbape it is as well. When Mr Cushing had arranged his scheme, he came home with a floumh of trumpets aud give the country to understand that he and Mr Seward had finally settled the problem of aa isthmus Ship canal. The treaty Beamed a good one at first sight, and we congratulated ourselveßvipqn the speedy approach of the day when the Atlantic and Pacific oceans should fie within a few hours sailing distance of each other. It was soon discovered,’ however, that a snake of the moßt gigantic description lay concealed among the fair words of the docu ment. It was evident that the treaty was made, not in tbe interests of the American people or of the commerce of the world, but of tbe Panama railroad. The terms were such that to the United States was reserved the right to build a ship canal, to the exclu sion of all other parties; and. the conditions were such that it was believed that our government could be prevented from ever exercising Ibis sole privilege. With all pros pect of a canal at an end, the Panama rail road would erj ij a perpetual monopoly of tbe isthmus travel and traffic, and be able to extort whatever unreasonable fees the direc tors chose to demand. It was a shrewd and well arranged plan for checkmating effectn illy any effort to consummate a design in which ail Ibe world is interested. Tbe Colombian 9 saw this and declined to approve it; if they bad not done so our Beuate should have repudiated it As it is, there is not the slightest hope of its success, and we are gla i each is the case. Now the field is free to all comers, and we hope somebody will under take to build the canal. It will be a harder task than the construction of the Suez canal, but the success of that grand engineering scheme should inspire the nations of the world to rnaxe tbe effort. COnPOONIIINO FELODIEB. Some very remarkable revelations have been recently made by a gentleman down East, who was enterprising enough to follow np a gang of bond robbers, with the aid of some detectives who, to the disgrace of the police force of the country, turned* out to be in league with the fellows they were pretend ing to capture, dividing the spoils with them and keeping them advised of the measures which were planned for their arrest It is unfortunately not an unheard-of thing, in these days for the burglar or robber and tbe corrupt sort of police-officer to establish such friendly relations, that a compromise mny be eflected whereby the-etolen valuables may be returned on payment of a certain pro portion of their value, and no questions Hiked. In tbe old fashioned days, arrange ments of this kind went by the ugly tide of compounding a feloDy,and subjected the par ticipators to legal proceedings of an uoplaa sant nature; but we have outgrown all such scruples. Detectives, we suppose, mU3t live, and it is too often the ease that oorpnralioi. B and individuals conclude that that it is the lets of two evils to secure whit they can, rather than to persist in vainly endeavoring to vindicate the majesty of the law. In view, however, of the notorious ineffi ciency of the police system in this country, which in very many cirei stems able to ac complish nothing but tbe negotiation of an arrangement between the roober and the rolbid, involving, we euppose, a commis sion from both side 5 , we would su.'gest the restoia'irn of a plan wh'ch was foun 1 satis laetr ry in theinfancy of the world. Herodotus relatis that in Egypt tbe confraternity of Ihievtswss organized into a regulir guild, like ary other branch of industry, with a re ccgDtzid chief. When aDyt; irg was Hio'en the loser applied to this chief, and the article was returnrd on payment of twenty five per cent, of its value -sue > being the portion al lotud ly law to those who had the skill and udiirg uqu site to accomplish a successful robbiry. Tbe sysb in was much less clumsy than c.urs, inasmuch as it saved the expense of maintsining a corps of men to transact the business which tbe principals could di as well themselves; it enabled everyone to kiow exactly where be stood in such matters, and it avoided tbe absurdity of stigmatizing by law a pnfi able profusion which, in tbis ct unity at least, tbe law seems utterly unable to punieb. By adopting it. we shouli at least get rid of a gigantic and organized bham, and shi n d save a heavy expense in our useless and costly machinery ot police, courts, judges, juries, prosecuting officers, prisons and par don-brokers.

It is impossible now to give an idea of all that has been done and all that bas been left undone during the ses sion. But it is known that to ere has been a great dial of kaßiy, unwise and scandalous legislation, and there would have been more, but for the Oovernor’s vetoes and the vigilance and the criticisms of the press of Pbiladsl ptiia. If the sessions conld be held in this ciiy such vigilance and criticisms would be m»re i ffeoiivt; for in some instances bills have betn passed through both Ileuses and hurriul through the executive department before the facts could be noticed in the Philadelphia papers. Several meritorious measures were ad spied, arid some bud ones were defeated, in the closing days of the late sossiou, an a sort of atonemeut lor the wrongs done in the earlier pari. But yet the fact remains that there bus been a great deal of bad legislation. Tae scandals of ibe “lobby” and the “ring” have been more flagrant than in any former ses sion, ahd the people of this city have had many reasons for being disgusted with the couibc of Borne of the members. All the evil atumpted and done cannot now be de- Bciibed; but we fear that the laws, when published, will reveal an amount of bad legis lation far exceeding the good. The members who were instrumental in this should be marked and remembered. In the ineautiine, let us all rejoice that the session of 1863 is at an end. Both Houses of the Legislature passed the bill, this morning, which allows parties to testify in their own cases.' Tnls most impor tant reform will work a great revolution la the whole adminlstraii m of civil and -crimi nal justice in Pennsylvania, and will, un doubtedly, prove of'the utmost servlse la euab'iDg both judges and juries to arrive at the truth. Much other important legislation was completed la the closing hours of tho Legislature to-day, but none of greater Im por ance to the general cause of law and j us tice than the innovation which will enable THE:DAILY EVENING BULLETIN— PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, APRIL 16,1869. THE LESISLATOBr. Courts to interrogate criminals, and innocent t persons to state their own cases, face to face with the juries which are to determine them. Mr. Knight’s painting of Paul Preaching at Athens, which attracted such favorable notice on lta first exhibition, has now boon engraved in line, Mr. Rltcbio having given a year's coroiol labor to the task. It forms a composition of excellent tone, tho light aud shade of tho original having been successfully preserved. This pic ture, it will bo remembered, waß painted for the Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Cburcb (Philadelphia Conference), to be engraved for their Certificate of Membership. The Society . nro much gratified with tho work, and wo are pleased that they ore pleasod, for it shows their discrimination. We hope tbis example will bo seen by some critic’ of oilier cities, who affect to look down on the Phi ladelphia school as simply one of landsorpe artists. It Is in compositions so scientific, cUs slC)l and elegant as this, that the tuition of the Ptnneylvania Academy of Fine Arts vindicates itself. Tbo engraving will bo first struck off on India popir, in proofs before letters, to the ex tent of not more than two hundred copies, which wit! be for sale at Earl< s’ Galleries. Tho Oerit- Ccute of which it is to form the decoration will thin hu eDgraved around It, in sneh a manner as not to tnleifero with the artistic value of the print for framing. 1 JK. F. K.

But mingled with this feeling there is also with mo ut least a sense of regret and sorrow atpirting irt m those with whom 1 have been so intimately ltd constantly associated for the last three months. Many of yon at the beginning of the sission were strangers to me. but as the business progressed my duty as Speaker made It neces ■nry for me to become familiar wltb von all. I therefore feel moro keenly this separation than I per haps otherwise would. In many instances, •ur homes being so lar distant,it is probable that we may never meet again; and as in Ihe heat of debate,and from conflicting interests of our con stituents,there may have occurred something that was not pleasant at tbe lime. I trust that, if such Is the case, it will be forgotten. At all events, on mv pait, I can say wilh perfect sin cerity that I have not an nnklnd feeling or thought towards any member of the House.

R,solved, That oar Commissioners to the Gene ral Assembly be Instructed to vote in accordance with tbe terms of the foregoing resolutions. Dr. Smith favored the reference of the subject to tbe Presbytery for final action. Dr. Gnllandt opposed the rennlon, because tbere had been no change in tbe ductriae oi tbe New School since tho separation in 1837, and he could not see how it could unite with the Old School. The subject was discussed without a final de cision, and coming up in order on yesterday a snhslilute was offered by Dr. Backus, as follows: IMereu*, This Presbytery has at its last meet irg responded to the overture sent down by the last Gi neral Assembly, on the reunion of tbe Old and New School Cbnrebes; and Whereas. A majority of tbe Presbyteries of the Old. School Branch have rejected the basis sent down; and Whereas. It was proposed by some In each cbnrcb that the next General Assemblies of tbe two churches should consummate a union upon a basis not definitely and favorably submitted to the Presbyteries; therefore, Rtsalved, That this Presbylerv, la addition to Its former action, express its disapproval of an organic nr ion on any bat-1, not first mb nllt dlo ibe Pretbyltrlcs and agreed upon by tbieo fonrlhs of the same.
