'THE SUPREME COURT• The announcement of the approaching re tirement of the venerable Justice Otter from Se Supreme Court of the United States at once opens the important question of the suc cession. The circuit to be , thus vacated in cludes the States of Pennsylvania, New Jersey told Delaware, and of these there can, of course, be no difference of opinion as to the one front which the new' judge should be se lected. Pennsylvania, with her three thousand lawyers, her large communities, her enormous agricultural and mineral interests, her central position in the Union, her great population, 'with all that she has been and is to be to this country, is clearly entitled to a full representa tion in the Supreme Court of the United States. Pennsylvania will have no difficulty in pre tenting to President Grant such a nomination for this important position as will challenge his heartiest approval. Were Edwin al. Stanton's health, so sadly broken down by his 'devotion to the cause of his country, such as to warrant the hope that he might continue to occupy the: post which he would so highly adorn, his ap pointment would be most appropriate and satisfactory. But if the distinguished ex-Secre tary be not selected, Pennsylvania can supply, in the perion of the Hon. William Strong, a man so eminently , fitted in all re spects for the highest judicial position as to en sure the universal approval of the whole State, and indeed of the entire Circuit. Judge Strong appears to be peculiarly marked by nature as lie is fitted by legal training and judicial ex perience for the discharge of the grave duties of She Suprethe Court. In his unsullied personal character ; his rare gifts of temper and man ners; his thoroughly furnished mind; his clear judgment; his high position at the Pennsylvania ,bar, the , leadership of which has been universally conceded to him ; in all these respects we findthe best reasons for presenting the name of the Hon. William strong to President Grant as one the selection of which will be bailed by the people of this great State with unmixed satisfaction. Such an appointment will be felt to . be a proper acknowledgment of that .deference which is sine to the Keystone State. WOMEN IN ART. While one set of brave women are slowly, - and in the face of a determined, organized and powerful opposition, fighting their way to an acknowledged status as members of a learned profession, another, not less brave or less de termined to win an honorable independence and turn the talents with which the Creator bas endowed them to useful acconnt,are quietly taking an undisputed position in the noblest of the crafts. It is difficult to divine the reason why that dread skeleton of female competition - which the great mass of physicians strive so bard to cover with the flimsy drapery of a pretended veneration for the sanctity of womanhood has so little terror for the stonfra ternitiof art, to whose credit be it said, that howeveimeagre their own earnings, they have • ever been ready to receive with open arms,— speaking in a figure, of course,--any accession to their ranks from the other sex. The same objections which are often so offensively flaunted in the face of the public in the one case, are, in kind if not in degree, equally to be •rged in the other, and it should be as true in the one as in the other, that, in the words of • that singular but fascinating creation, the_ lady -Alice, "The divine result of Art hallows the indispensable means."--- We presume that few of our readers who have not bad their attention called to the fact in some especial manner know to what extent women are interesting themselves in the study of art, both. as amateurs and as professional artists: To any who desire what' our Metho dist brethren denominate "a realizing sense" of the efforts width they are making,-not simply to gain a smattering of art and a superficial acquaintance with therules which may enable them to make a certain amount of show of manual dexterity, but to acquire, by dint,of patient study and pains-taking labor, such a knowledge of the deeper and hidden laws' which - lie - at - its - foundation - as may - make them indeed its mistresses; to any, we say, who are able to appreciate such devo tion, and are desirous to encourage It by showing a personal interest in it, we would invite attention to what is now being done in this direction at the "Artists' Fund Building" in ' Chestnut street, opposite the Mint. They will find there the tree and its fruits,—the tree an art-school, under- the able supervision of Mr. Van der Wielen, an artist himself of no mean native ability, but, what is of infinitively more importance in a teacher, himself thoroughly educated,—edu cated as an artist can nowhere be educated but in a Flemish school o f art, in all the minutest details of the handicraft, in all that drudgery and routine which must be gone through with in order properly to guide genius as well as to inform ignorance and develop talent; in the abstruse sciences of mathematics and per spective ; in the difficult problems of light and shade and of the harmony of colors, and finally in the fascinating, but too much ne glected, science of anatomy, posi tive, artistic and expressional. Three large airy and well-lighted rooms, opening into each other, are devoted to the purposes of thiS school, and these may be found, on any day, well filled with pupils, whose work indicates of course every degree of progress, froM tile tyro in outlines to the fin ished painter.' Models from the antiques, geo metrical blocks, colOr, sketches and finished paintings are hung or strewn around in appar ently insane disorder; but the attentive ob server soon finds that there is method in this madness, and-that almost every object is being studied and faithfully reproduced -by some pa tient worker,—we say faithfully, because no ' J. Z. GOULD, No. 923 Obeotnut street• unfaithfulness. no carelesti glossing over of work is allowed by the vigilant eyes of the hi- . structor. -And now'comes the singular fact that nearly all the zealous students in this se vere and laborious school are women: lint that it is a school expressly • for women, like that useful institution the 4, School of Design," or that its projector has made any especial e9brt to induce women to join it, save , by the uni form courtesy and respect which be displays towards his pupils, but, we must conclude, be cause women have come to feel that to study art with either pleasure or profit, they must do so thoroughly and in earnest.. What woman has already achieved in Art is only the foreshadowing of her future achieve ments. There seems to be no philosophical or practical difficulty in the way of her complete success in this high walk of refined human labor, except such as she , shares equally with the other sex. Here, in Philadelphia, the women are already establishing themselves, not only as students, but as artists, and our readers will get, in anothei column of to-day's paper, an insight into some of the practical results of the noble efforts, that a few of the : women of Philadelphia are }Waking to establish their sex fairly and honorable within the number of the elect of Ar•t. It is in such ways as theSe that 'woman best proves her true l'rights." Whatever she is really capable of doing she• should aspire to, and In this age of the world, whatever field of labor or art she is truly capable of filling will certainly be opened to her. Possibly woman may need to prepare the way before her by that skirmish line of noisy and, often scolding convention-holders and spedeli:Makers ; but the real road by which she is to reach her just level is the patient, intelligent, successful effort to prove herself, by her deeds, capable of being and doing those things with will constitute her actual equality with man. PHILADELPHIA 31ECIIANICS. Our Philadelphia mechanics have just,had another laurel added to their renown, by the triumph of the Harrison Safety Boiler at the American Institute in New York. This boiler was introduced, An_ operate a Corliss engine of one hundred horse power, driving the machi nery of the exhibition. As the result Of its performance, the Institute has awarded to it the high distinction of being the only boiler that never leaked and was at all times in perfect working order, furnishing a surplus of steam, at the rate of a horse-power for three pounds of coal per hour, with feed water at a tem perature of 47 degrees. It is nothing new for Philadelphia mechanics to bear away the palm in competition with the other sections - of the country. In the matter of construction, as well as of invention, they have long enjoyed a well-earned celebrity, and every such new testimonial of superior merit as that to which we have just referred, is a tribute not only to inventive genius, but to.that thorough skill and excellence which are so characteristic of the best establishments in every department of mechanics in Philadelphia. We invite the attention of cultivated readers to the art-Hale at Robinson's Gallery, com mencing next Wednesday. The vendne will last for three days, and will dispose of the ac cumulation of the oldest art-business estab lished in this city. A select list of oil paint ings will form a part of the material, includ ing a good canvas by Bodding-ton, the well known English painter; an example of Bro chart, of Paris, and several choice works of the Diisseldorf and Munich schools. Moran, Richards, and other American favorites, also contribute. The non-autographic works in clude the finest engravings and chromos ; photogfaphs of the most admirable French parntings,•taken in Paris, and conveyed to London lobe tinted by the skill of Wilson, who has & specialty in the art; and the fin ished studies of gems of the Gallery at Dres den, copied in that city on porcelain, in fused indestructible colors. The affair will occupy three days, and afford an opportunity for the stocking of private galleries or the choic'e of tasteful and elevating art-keepsakes. JAMES S.

The President's Message and heeretary Bon well's report .rcirlered the gold .market !inner, and the price touched 124, as against 1221,1 the lowest point of the week. Their effect has beA rather to strengthen and steady the market than to impart, buoyancy and activity. The gold Operators who essayed cx "bull" movement in the beginning of the month have. therefore, received no check from these public docuteents, but still havoiainti it uphill work to maintain the .ntovement. Enough of the policy of Congress has already developed itself to - warrant the holier that: whatever steps are taken In fi nancial Matters, there will be no contraction of the cur rency. Some of the Western members P,COIII determined on legislation which will swell the volume of greenbacks now in circulation. Would It not be wise to oursue the policy of masterly, inactivity .in ail this business of the curl ency 1 Are we not steadily advancing to specie payments a Himont the aid of CongresSional enactments ? Gold has returned to figures which are the lowest since the summer of 1862. • In all probability the (Mantle will go on in theeamu ratio, and bring us to resuniption with out the dangers of a commercial panic. Who demands such measures of Congress? Secretary liontwell is in perfect accord with General Grunt in the opinion that question is not one for immediate legislation. The present session •el Congress 'Mould devote itself to the work of perfeeting, a plan fo fund the IVA timin.l debt et n lower rate of interest. The people et large e re more desirous of a reduction of their b. Xefl thou of a return to specie paynitlits. If any chailge is made, let the banking sy6tcrii be made free, each histitution to deposit lion inter.lit hearing government betels is security for its issues. It is a deliberate imposition of the present bank ing system to tax the people abouttwcntvmilllonsa year for the privilege of its ex intonce. It shoula give way to one that would afford amarket for a large fraction of the national debt. Last year the batiks combatted and- de feated all measures contemplating a redistribution of the currency. There is no power in the land so strung us that of the uatlonal bank ring, which wields the influ ence and wealth of the 1,610 different institutions to which the privilege IS now limited. If it was easy to defeat risliostribution, which was apparent and clamorous justice, how much more easy will it be to stave Off free banking ? The re sponse from abroad to the suggestions of the Con gressional reports has been of it flattering character. The immediate effect was rather unfavorable to the quotations of our five-tiventies, inasmuch as London and Frankfort opecniators had been led to expect home 'ate spode pa) meta recommendations on the part . the President, but the foreign public, comprdheieling the honest and honerabla position of the Executive awl his Secretary of Finance, invested so suddenly that the speculators who feared' a loss were astonished to find the bonds go off their hands at a large profit. The Government market during the weak has been quite active, if not excited, and under the Impression that the funding process will deprive the five-twenties of their value ns a long investment, a sharp demand sprung up for the ISSI'S, the tem fort ies and the currency sixes, the' first mentioned going up two per cent. in one day. The impression is general among the leading Government dealers, Lot!tinniest ic and fereign, that the Secretary of the Traanry will have no difficulty whatever in funding the debt at four and a half per cent.
