In accepting the• resignation of Judge Grier,
it was the pleasure of the President to write
him" 'very kind and complimentary letter,
fronv'Whieh the following is an, extract : "In
looking 'upon 'your long and honorable career
in the pablie.service, it must be especially grat, '
ifyingrtnremember, as it is my agreable duty
and.privilege on,this occasion thus distinctly to,
recOgnite; the great service which you Were
able to render to your Country in the darkest
liour of her hiStory, by the vigor and patriotic
firmness with which you upheld the just
_potr l t : the Government' and vindicated the
right of the nation , tinder the Constitution: to
fts,on.n, existence,"
We have italicised the last sentence of the
paragraph to indicate our sense of the im
poitance of the,idea it conveys, that under and
by virtue of the Constitution, the Government
has the right to maintain its own life ; and we
consider this' the'more important from the fact
that' there was, strange as it seems to us, a
very' large' number of good citizens, and emi
nent jurists among them, who in substance,
denied that very thing. Our principal purpoSe,
however, in calling attention to the subject to
day is; to allude to the fact that the high com
pliment thu.s paid to Jndge,Grier is equally and
strikingly applicable to another, of our citizens,
then in'a high and' Authoritative position, who
is now looked to by many among us as most
admirably fitted to be Judge Grier's successor.
We need hardly say we refer to Judge Strong.
At the same time that Judge Grier's mascu
line powers were brought to bear upon the
'question alluded to, Judge Strong was also
called upon to grapple with them in an arena
only less important than that of the Supreme
Court of the United States. The crisis of dan
ger over, we are apt to forget, at least to dismiss
from our minds, the periods of intense, anxiety
we passed through in the progress of the strug
gle-for life that the President alludes to, and it
is well that we should at least occasionally recall
them. if we carry our minds back to the time
when Chancellorsville wes lost and Pennsyl
vania was invaded by a large and powerful
army ; and when the States of New York
and New Jersey had chosen men for Geyer
; nors who were not in sympathy with the
National Administration nor friendly to
its policy; and when the firm measures
of Congress for raising Money and men for
defrauding the national life were denounced
as unconstitutional and opposed by mobs, we
may begin to realize the dangers and the
services that the President alludes to. It was
in an especial manner a period Of intense con
cern to us here. The rebel army was within
our borders; and we were besides in the be
ginning of a most important political contest
for the eleetipn of a Governor and a Judge of
our Supreme Court, when the democratic party
bad selected Judge Woodward as their can
didate for Governor and Judge Lowrie for
re-election. They were both then judges of
the Supreme Court of this State, and both de
nied the constitutionality 'of the very
measures that the President CoMpli
'netts Judge Grier for maintaining.
We were in an extremity of danger •
and breathed with bated breath. It is true we
were gloriously relieved by the events at Get,
lysburg and Vicksburg. But we still bad a
powerful enemy in arms in the field,'a.s we
were soon after taught at Chickamauga, and
we had a powerful party to oppose at home,
who denied the constitutionality of the laws
under which we were defending - the national
life. In that crisis, Judge Strong had a voice
on the bench of the Supreme Court. The
Court was composed of Judges Lowrie (whose
time, was about to expire, and who was a can
didate for re-election), Woodward, Thompson,
Strone and Read. The four first named Judgei
were elected by the Democratic party, and the
three first denied the constitutionality of this
measures that' Jndge Grier (who was also a
Democrat) is complimented for sustaining.
Judge Strong, in the Supreme Court of Penn
sylvania, together with Judge Read, coinciled
with Judge Grier, that the Government had
the right to "maintain its own existence."
It was a happy thing for Pennsylvania and the
nation that Judge Strong did so, for had he
concurred with his Demoeratic confreres, no
matter whohad been elected in the place of
Judge I,owrie, the Supreme Court of l'ennsyl
-vania would have denied the constitutionality
both of the legal tender and draft laws, and
_declared them null and void, and thus have, in
effect, stripped the national government of the
right to use either the purse or the sword.
But'happily, we say, Judge Strong was not
willing, however powerful may have been party
ties, to strangle out the national life, and he
made it possible, by the election of Judge Ag
'new, the Republican candid Ate for, the Su
preme Court`, to' vindicate the right of the
government "to maintain its owe existence."
The Position of Judge Strong was a difficult
andlAryini one, but be proved himself fully
equal to it,.and gave his support to his country
in preference to yielding to the behests of his
Parts.
Upon . these grounds, then,—the grounds
440 0 e-- 'Etat President thinks so important as to
induc him to go' out of the way in *an official
andfermal communication to specify and ap
plaud, Judge Grier can have no more worthy
successor` than Judge Strong, as he can have
inettiO;ss a'jurlst and a citizen. We consider
tY4the,tetli Of history, and sheer justice re
flilitet3 'this much at our bands.
TbP.theMe is a. tempting one, but we will
not pursue it. We will merely say that, con
sidering the opiniontc_aod feelinge of Cloy-.
exams Seymour, of New York, and Parker, of
Neye.Jereey, had Pennsylvania failed to re-elect
her War Governor, Governor Curtin, Or had
bile tied his hands by placing men is the Su-
prune Voutt h o would deny the power of
the ration to draft men or Co pay them, and the
.question was then pending the condition
of the. country would' have .been' fearful
to, contemplate. The result, of that
,election
in 1E63 was one of the meat important events,
in the history of that great etruggle. It sl
- sorb as - Seymour and his friends'L- ,
the New York mob --and gave renewed hope
and confidence to every friend of 'the Unidn,
,in the cabinet and the field, and indeed in
every : walk of life..

It is telegraphed from' Baltitnore that Mr.
District-AttorneyMeLaughtin of Carlisle
k •
been in that city for several days, hunting dp
evitletiTil to; attack the .authenticity of Miss
Steinneke's will; and that be has found per- ,
sons There, willing to : swear, that it:is a.forgery.
'.The despatith adds that Mr. McLaughlin says
that thik,'!Ftaifi place- the guilt of the adiused
beyend, doubt.", -
NkTe trust, for the honor of the Pennsylvania
bar, that both of these otements are incprrect.,
The' tietrict,Attorney of CUMberland -county'.
exhausted his official dry when he prod - Wed
his verdict Against, Dr. Schoeppe. Reheated
intimations have come to us that he' has, since
been actively engaged in procuring the
execution of the sentence of the' condemned
Man, intimations , which we have discredited
, and are still willing to discredit, as unworthy
'of the official position 'any 'prosecuting
officer. We are diaposed to put a somewhat
more favorable 'construction upon Mr.
Baltiniore investigation than that
conVeyed by the despatch referred 'to, and for.
this reason : The , will which Miss Steinneke
made in favor of •Dr.• Schoeppe has ,been, in
reality; the battle-giound of this whole prose
cution. Until it was discovered, her heirs
I were silent and 'satisfied with ker 'death.
Then, when it was found that' her property
had passed out of theft hands into those
or a stranger; the outcry of murder was
raised, and the attack begun. In the
trial, a feeble ,•-and, unsuccessful attempt was
made to impugn. the authenticity of the. will,
but; under the instructions of the Court that
dig prosecution must first examine the sub
_ scribing witness,, the Bev. Mr. Schoeppe, the
attempt was abandoned.. The moral . effect of
a charge of forgery, however, was made upon
ttte jury,, and such good use 'was made of it.
at an hipression was set afloat in the cora
niunity that the will had been proved to be
forged, lvhen nothing of the kind was really
done.. Not *only has there been •no .proof ad
duced against_ the genuineness of ibis . docu
ment, but we aro satisfied that none could be.
Facts within our possession, which we are
not quite sure ought .to be made public
at this time, point with unmistakeable
certainty te the authenticity of this will, and
.the use that;has been made of the insinuation
of its forgery has been, as we believe, as unjust
as it hai been injurious.
'We prefer to believe that District Attorney
McLaughlin; anticipating the, release of; Dr.
Schoeppe, either under, the action of the Su
preme Court or by the direct act of the Execu
tive, is simply preparing himself to prosecute
a charge of forgery against Dr.. Schoeppe,when
be is set at liberty. This he has a right to do,
if lie believes any forgery has been committed,
and it cannot be objected to. But it would be
most unworthy of any public officer to
endeavor to prejudice the . effort
now being made to secure for
this man, condemned, not for forgery, but
for murder, the opportunity of a hearing before
the Supreme Court, by any such intimations
as are contained in the despatch we have
quoted. It is just and proper for the accused
to bring forward everything .that . throws light
upon his innocence, and overthrows the,theory
of his guilt; but it is anything but just or"pro
per for 'a public prosecuting officer, who has
secured the conviction of a man upon an, in
dictment charging him simply with having
murdered a . woman by prussic-acid, to assert
that he hopes to prove -death by prussio-acid
from the forged Signitture,;: to a will; and to
work on, with a 'degree of zeal that
looks more like personal prejudice than , pro
fessional
duty, in hunting up evidence upon a
point which was in no way connected with the
bill, .of indictment which he was called upon
to try.
The Supreme Court, yesterday, by agreement
between' the Attorney-General and George
Northrop, Esq., appearing in behalf of Dr.
Schoeppe's counsel, fixed the Ist of February,
for- the -hearing of- argument for a new trial.
While we are clearly of the opinion that Dr.
Sehoeppe is entitled to his liberty on the simple
ground of the total failur& to prove that
either he- or anybody else murdered Miss
Steinneke, if a new trial is ' granted,
With the change of venue that we
take It for granted will be allowed, this now
famous case will terminate in the acquittal of
the accused, and the vindication" of his inno
cence of the monstrous crime laid to his charge.
We are well satisfied that Attorney-General
Brewster has no desire to press this case froin
any feeling of prejudice against Dr. Schoeppe,
and It would be well for his subordinate, the
District-Attorney of Cumberland -county, to
preserve the same proper official attitude in the
premises
A DAD START.
Both lnauches of City Councils organized
yesterday, Select Council electing S, Yv
Cattell, and the Common Council electing
Gen. Louis Wagner as their respectilie'
Presidents. The inaugural addresses of the
two presiding 'officers?are interesting and satis
factory, the one confining itself to the over
shadowing 'financial question, and the other
touching upon a number of important local
topics. _ _
Common Council, however,t made a terribly
bad start fer the new year, upon one of the
most important meastn•es which it is likely; to
deal with Auriug term of Office. If there
was one act of the last Councils thorOughlY
popular with the community; it was the initial ,
step taken toward the disbanding of theYolan
teer Fire Department. The bill withholding
the usual appropriation from tiventy, uper
fluous hose-companies, was passed by both
bratiches and sent to the Mayor for his signature.
The act called forth the universal approval of
the press of the city and of the citizens gener
ally. But no sooner bad the new Common
Council convened than an effort was made to
back Councils out of their advanced position,
by recalling thd ordinance from the Mayor, fer
reconsideration. The first attempt failed, hut
so strenuous was the press re of the repudiated
firemen that the effort was repeated, and :with
success. By 'the following vote, Common
'Council paased the resolution to recall the
ordinance; Yeas : J. S. Allen, Rep., Blaelt;.

every Deinetrat voted againSethiereforin, the
opposition to the recall from the Mayor being
whollifrom IlepUblican znembers. It would
"only have been in accordance with the Will of
the - RepnbliCan party of I.'hiladelphia if every
one of its representatives in Common Council
had been found standing - firmly by a measure
,which has no object in view but the good of
the. 'city.'
It is not to be supposed thit Select Council
,
swill make a similar surrender to•the clamor of
th6e dlisatisged - firenien. ,That body `has de
dared .its independence of such clamor so dis
tinctly that it is in no danger of receding from
its honorable position, and the action of Com
mon Council will therefore be null and void.
It ought to, have, beep made so by Ilayor Fox's
signing the ordinance promptly, last week,
when it was passed. Why this was not done,
we bare no , means of knowing. It would
have been right and proper in itself, and it
would have saved Common Council from
putting itself, most awkwardly, in this very bad
strait. Real refornas, like revolutions ' " never
go backward," and . thereform of the .Fire De
partment, is , so, thoroughly real, and so widely
popular, that we trust that .there will be ,'no
more retrograde movements, like that of yes
,erday, regarding it.
A TALE FROM WINNIPEG.
From the Red River district we have some
information which would be very startling if
it was trustworthy. The 'adherents of the
new republic declare that Governor McDougall,
being filled with wrath and indignation at the
moral support and sympathy extended to his
enemies by the American people just over the
border, has organized certain bands of Sioux
Indians for the purpose .of swooping ,down
upon the American settlements 'with tire and _«
slaughter, when'the spring opens. To piev6ht
this , unpleasantne , se, the United States govern
ment, is invited to assist the brave rebels in.re
sisting the Canadian authority and in subduing
the Indians to a proper comprehension of
AmeriCan power. We are inclined Ai regard
this story With some degree of doubt.
The Red River people desire above all other
• things to secure the material assistance of our
Government in the struggle into which they
have precipitated' themselves. As it seems to .
be unlikely that this will be.offered under ex
isting circumstances, it may be that diplomacy
has-been resorted to to obtain it. But the
plan adopted, is not deep ,enough to obscure
the motive. Nobody believes that any Cana
dian official, even if he were such a fool as
McDougall, would deliberately organize savage
warfare against the United States Government,
and invade our territory, merely to avenge
a purely sentimental 'grievance. Every-Cana
dian with a spark of intelligence knows
that the adoption of such . a policy .
would be the very surest method of defeating
the designs of the Dominion Government in
attempting to obtain control of the Winnipeg
country. It Might, indeed, even result in the
overthrow of the entire Dominion. But if, as
the Winuipeggers hope, we' hearken to this
tale, the immediate consequence will be an
increase of active sympathy for them among
our citizens, an instant flow of material con
tributions to their cause; the refusal
,of our
government to permit Canadian British
troops to cross our territory, and the reinforce
ment of . their • little army by numbers
of Americans who are eager for a fight.
We apprehend, , however, that the only
consequence of the circulation of this story
will be an increase of our forces upon that
portion of the ftontier. This measure seems
to be required by common' caution. Such an
Indian raid may be made, improbable as it
appears to be, and a' decent regard for the
safety of our citizens in that quarter demands
that we should be prepared 'for even a possible
emergency of" thin character. We are very
I much afraid that the rebels will hai , e, to fight
their own battles in this contest. The in
ducement to interference in their behalf is, so
small that we really cannot afford to accept the
great risks.

CAIITION TO THE LEGISLATI,JEL
, . 4
In referring, yesterday, to the Legislat:ure
which assembles at Harrisburg to-day, we
called attention, in general terms, to those
broad principles i which, should. govern those
who have been chosen by the people to frame
their State laws. There is .a special phaSe of
legislative duty to which it may not be• amiss
to refer at the opening of this sessloo. That
proper deference which ought to be 'paid to the
opinions mid wishes of members frota particu
lar localities, in regard to legislation proposed
for those localities ? has gradually grown into an,
abuse. which needs to be checked. It' has be
come the practice at Harrisburg to defer to the
local representatives to -such a degree that
almost any local legislation can be procured if
the members from that quarter, agree to
ask for it. , A striking =illustration of this bad
practice.was'. '`last winter, in the
case of the infamous Twelfth and. Sixteenth
Streets ItailWay Tills bill, odious as it
Was' mid is to - the-people - and authorities• of
Philadelphia, was crowded throtigh i both Leg,is
lature and Governor,' upon ' the tsimple eon-
Sidertition that the city members uniteddn ask- ,
ing for it. What the bond of union Was, haS
never „been made known, publicly; but it hai
never been supposed that it was brought about
by any particularly fair means. Now it was
well known •to influential Members of both
branches of the Legislature that the hill was.a
very objectionable one, strongly. opposod by
large numbers of the best; citizens of Philadel
phia. But the city members agreed to have it,
and'that , was enough. ' The Governor was im
posed upon, the Legislature heedwinke& or
cajoled, and the people of Philadelphia robbed
of a most valuable franchise, by the operation
of a legislative prtetice which often produces
still more mischievous fruit than in the,case
just cited. ' - 7- - , •
The Legislature is supposed to be corn-
posed of intelligent men, capable of indepen
dent action, and of clear comprehension of the
ELP,4IA, TUESDAY, JANUA
merits of any lecal measures, they are called
upon to enact. ' Legislation for
especially, with' all its oomnfanding interests,
should be had, only after the Legislature .has
inquired into its merits from other sources
besideg those of the' city members. Their
opinions should, be consulted and respSeted ;
;but When they unite upon any such. local
measures" as the one we have taken as a sped
reel), the• Legislature should look a little be
yond their narrow circle, and be sure that the
le&lation is demanded by the. people - of Phil
adelphia, as well a. 9 by their representatives.

some fulfillment of the promises made by
' Grant, and by the Republican party when they
voted for him. The Democratic papers and

• work of reducing the burdens of • the people.
But the people seem, to like it.

'HOSPITAL OF THE P. E. CHURCH—ANNUAL
RETINU OF TISK Cornanuiorts.—The Nine
teenth Annual Meeting of the Contributors to
the Hospital of the Protestant Episcopal
Chnrch was held this noon, at the office, No.
708 Walnut street, Right Rev. Vim. Bacon
Stevens, D. D., presiding, and the Rev. John
A. Childs, D. D., acting as Secretary.
The report of the Board of Managers was
read as follows:
ANtiVAI, REPORT.
In prt-senting" this, their eighteenth annual
report, the Board lit Managers would exprete',
with the ever-increasing usefulness of the
Hospital. their increasing sense of gratitude
1/6 (foil, that He put it into the hearts of His I
servants to found such an institution, and fur
the prosperity with which He has been I.
eased to bless it in the whole course of its I
'history. . ;
The contributions from the churches, in ,
Thanksgiving collections, for the year ISW,
have amounted to s_. Something has
been added to the vested funds of the instit u-;
tion, during the past year, by bequest and gift. ;
To both these sources the Board confi
dently look for an increasing supply of means ;
to meet their increasing needs.
As an agent of benevolence, it commends
itself to our deepest human sympathies. ./t is
for the relief of the sick and suffering. The i
prompting to this we might easily say was in
stinetive, if we did not reflect that, apart from I
Christianity, it is but little known. Yet•even
there, it no doubt operates in the lesser circle
-of family and friends. If so, Christianity has
simply enlarged :its bounds, by 'teaching
us that every• one is our neighbor; ~.
our brother; and therefore gathering into
sympathies the whole fellowshiti of man. Cer
thent ift cbtititian Conmituilties,. We f
may think of this desire as lying very deep in ;
the heart. The fountain which wasopened in
the earthly life of Christ—every view of which !
presents Him in Contact with the wretched ford
their relief—bas been sending forth its streams :
for eighteen centuries, till now, we may be
lieve, in this respect, the common life of all ,
has felt itsintueuce,andsacredsympathy with.'
suffering mingles with our natural impulses.
To this feeling the Hospital makes its appeal.
It has as the end and aim of its existence
„oily one object—the removal or alleviation of
i?Oliering. Pounded by those who deeply felt
the importance of this, it throws itself for
continual support, upon those who are like
minded; that is, we would fain believe, upon
i
I
IF ' ~..
But in a community like our own, with its
large and variedinterests, none of which stand
above, bat are intermingled with others, the
Hospital may well put forth other claims for
consideration. It is a public institution to
which all who stand in need of the assistance
which it affords may be brought. And it
differs from other institutions only in the fact
that it is supported by private charity , and mu
nificence. 'The connnunity is not taxed for its
maintenance as for institutions for the relief
of destitution and for the promotion of com
mon learning. But it is nevertheless Tor'
their benefit. The rich may become • re
duced In fortune and ,themselves need its
aid, dr in their business • relations' their
employes - and , dependents , may find it
just the plabe ' for 'them in the time of
their extremity. The poorest. have those for
whom they, labor, capitalists, who are as much
dependent - o their toil as they are on their
money, andgherefore interested in every ap
pliance wh4h has in view their welfare, and
iwmine more than such ,as minister to thein
in sickness, or care, for them when disabled
by suddewaccident, , Especially does this ap
ply to the large MAinufacturer, and to those
erigagedifirrailioad and , mining operations,.

where the - risk of life and limb is unusually.

may be able to 'perforin ,my duties
satisfactorily, as well as with impar
tiality 'Mid fidelity; is my earnest desire.
1 trust that while lentertain a proper sense of
the honer you 'have conferred upon me,l have
alsosome appreciation of the difficulties of the
position, anti I need hardly suggest that your
generoua support in the observance of those
rules by , which our business' is gov
erned,, and that courtesy by which
the ' asperity of our debate is
moderated, will be absolutely essential to the
harmony as well as the usefulness of our ses
sion.. lam not aware what, if any, measures
of great public importance are to be considered
by us ; and yet can,never happen etherwitie
than that the Legislature of a great State like
ours Atonal have important interests
committed to its charge, and it is our business
and that of our successors so to develop our
agriculthral and mineral resources; and so to
foster and direct our internal improvements
as to make to our noble Commonwealth the
garden and the work-shop of the country, as
well as what by geographical position
she is fairly entitled to—the highway over
which the commerce of the nation shall pass.
In doing this the people demand, as they have
a right to require, that we should exercise the
most rigid economy consistent with the end to
be attained; and while the liquidation of our
public debt, which. has for some years con
stantly been inade, would seem to afford
conclus.ive proof that the average le station
on financial questions has been calculated to
protect the interests of the people, yet it mast
be admitted that there is still occasion for the
ex ereise,,of a sound 'economy in very many di
rections, and 1 sincerely hive our re
cord on that subject during the
coming session will satisfy the
most fastidious. We must pot forget that the
people are our masters, and if we obey their
cicarlyeXpressed wili;
_looking to our consti
tuerds alone for counsel or control in the ex
ercise of all our official duties, we shall not
only ,nieet the' approval of:, good
men everywhere, but will be able to extract
the venom from the fangs of those who, seek
in,„e• a notoriety which they, can obtain 110
other way, revel in indigeruninate attacks on
the public men of the State and connect them
selves with the different political partiea only
to hawk at and tear them. Again, gentlemen;
accept my sincere thanks.
The . Governor has appointed GOli. A. L.
Russell to be Adjutant-General of Pennsylva
nia, in place of Hon. Mr. McCreary, of Erie,
who has resigned to accept a seat in the
House.
