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. Grover
■Wills Boipltal
Yellow Fever Fund
Fuel Fond, City
Act of Assembly
B. Franklin
Paul Beck
Bwber Waters
Gee. Ernlen

W. Carter..
A. Thompson

JE. Crcseon

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.

The adjournment of the State Legislature,
to-day, is a fact over which the people of
Penmylvania, and especially P iladelphians,
have reason to r* j dee. 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

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

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

and was elected to the Senate In 1867, hiving
three vears previously declined being a candidate.
He is one of the m&st ready and graceful speakers
in the Senate, with a fall knowledge of par
liamentary law.
Dr. Worthington, on leaving the chair, said
that tbe time hod arrived for them to sepa
laie and once more mingle in the pleasant scenes

Mr. Davis offered tbe following resolution:
H’Aereoa.Tbe bill authorizing tbe Port Wardens
of Philadelphia to arrest captains for non-pav
u ent of fines has reached the bands of the Oov
(inor;
And whereas, Such bill ho* never passed the
Houre; Ibere oro,
titsohed , That the Governor be requested to
-> inrn tbe said bill lo the House, and to withhold
his signature therefrom.
Tbe resolution was unanimously adopted.
Tbe House took a recess for oue hour, at the
• xpirallon of which Speaker Clark delivered the
following addrtss, which was loudly applauded ;
I have no doubt Ihot everv membtrou this iloor
Is glad that ihe seesion of the L-gislature la so
near at an end, and we ore so soon to be relieved
from lbc labors and duties aud responsibilities of
Representatives, and to bo enabled to
rtlnrn lo our tomes and give some nt
icntlon to our private business. 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.
Id fact, I have no reason to feel otherwise than
eatlsflfd, for I have always been treated by you
with kindness, eourteßy and respect, lor which I
ft el gratified, for I am conscious of having very
imperfectly performed my duties ns Speaker. To
tbe cleiks of the House, lam under many*.obli
gations, not only for their assistance and advice,
but also for their efficiency, industry, and uniform
courtesy to mvself, as well a 8 every mem

The reporters of the House are cnlUlod to my

At a meeting of the Baltimore Presbytery (Old
School) on Wednesday, circulars favorable to
a reunion of the Old and New Schools ware ri
ceivid from the Central Presbytery of Philadel
phia and the 8) nod ol WbeellDg. Action on tbe
circulars being called up, the Rev. Dr. Smith o -
fered tbefeiiowing :
Whereas. Tbe question as to consummating an
organic union between the Old and New School
Presbyleilan Cbnrchcß may come up at the ap
proaebing meeting ol tbo General Assembly, and
whereas, Ibe basis of onion sent down by tbe last
Aesembly has been ri ject d by the Presbyteries,
and there are grave doubts as to the constitu
tional power of the Aesembly to effect the noiou
on any basis which has Dot been first sent down
to Ihe Presbyteries ami approved by them, and
still graver doubts as to the expediency of such
action in existing circumstances; therefore
Resolced , As the tense of this Presbytery, that
tbe Assembly ongbt not to consummate a union
wlih the other Cbnrch at its approaching session,
bat either dismiss the whole subject or send
down another paper for the action of the Pres
byteries.
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. After a discussion, the sub
stlintewnß adopted.
Tbo following delegates were elected to the
