'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.

Nome are auguring ill for the Council. Gallicism ix ram

dogma of infallibility, and discord is apprehended among
the-Italians. Antonelli shakes his head at a perform

time before it con become clear whether the Council
will bring the Church peace or sword."

CiwctriNATx; Dec. I:l.—Last night a fire was
discovered 'in the paint-shop of Mills,
Loughead & Co.'s • sash, door and blind
factory; Third street, west of Smith street.
When first detected, the flames were confined
to the rear part of the shop, which was a low
franie building cif one story. The factory was
three stories in height ; it was tilled with
dressed lumber and a large stock of sashes,
shutters and the like. The flames made great
inroads, in a very short time, and it
Caine apparent to the firemen that they had
no ordinary conflagration to deal with, The
'houses on the south side of Third street, for a
third of the block on either side of the burn
ing bubbling, were deserted Soon after the
breaking-out of the lire. Mills, Loughead
& Co. estimate their loss on building and
stock at .$60,000. 'rimy have an insurance : to
the amount of-. 30,000 in local companies.
The origin of the tire is a mystery, but is
thought to have been the work of an incen

[from the !herald of totday.l
first:not, Dec. 12. —treually the meeting of CongJLnoo
has been the oteaslon of considerable anlination in wall
street, but the assembling of the National Legislature
thin year has not been as yet productive of any very de
cided effects upon financial matters. 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.
