The recent action taken by the Conyeyaneing profession, of this city, in organizing The. Con vejancers' Association, of which brief mention has .been :made in ow local columns, promises to be of much importance . to the community. As the prelimlnaryyneetingS of this Association, °Whig to their scarcely public character, have been but 'cursorily alluded to by the press generally; muftis in smile 'instances' confused' notions of the objects of the' Society have existed, we deem it important that its design and nature should be more fully understood by the public. Oiving-to the.vast area of Philadelphia—the , cheapnets and accessibility of property in every portion-=-a great number of our citizens, even those in most moderate circumstances, boast of the ownership of their homes; and far less real'eatate'' is 'held in masses by capitalists here, {l}an elsewhere. This universal ownership; creating a variety of interests based upon ,real property, and necessitating the existence of a peculiar legal practice,, has elevated conveyan cing here, as in England, to a high professional rank. Nothing could .be more important to all Clasea,of the community than a definitely established organization representing persOns of:legal ability and integrity, familiar witty . every form of real estate transactions and, the complicated statutes bearing thereon. , Heretofore, as is , perhaps -generally knoWni most, of those desiring to engage in the prides: • slop haye entered offices of establieliedconvey_ angers at an early age, and have, finally corn imenced practice after several years of probation'. occupied in study ef . the laws affecting real estate; in applying knowledge thus obtained. to the construction and consideration of wills, deeds of trust and partition, etc.; in investiga ti rig titles to real property, and in acquiring • proper methods of conducting settlements in ; Matters of negotiation and sale. Numerous others, however, anxious to secure pecuniary advantage . at. once, without the in- COrivenienc•e of preliminary study and prepara tion, have from time to time appeared before the public as conveyancers ;their defective and imperfect title papers to many properties at testing sufficiently the readiness with which men entrust matters of great moment to in competent hands. Fortunately for all, these have professional lives as brief as the charlatans who disgrace the study of Medicine. The self constituted conveyancer, seldom outlives the year of his incoming. • Frequently, too, the young attornies at law ,not educated with members of the bar who were conveyancers; have been led, through connec tion with real estate operations, to'assume gen eral conveyancing practice. The result has not. unfrequently been similar to that which might be, expected, should a physician under take surgery without special training. Exceptional cases, 'though, might be named, where attorneys-at law and those origi- ; nay undertaking business as real estate brokers, have alike, through,study and experi ence, practiced as conveyancers with commend able success. These instances are necessarily rare, and have been injurious, not only to those who have conscientiously undertaken to qualify th.eniselves, but to the community at large. No standard: being established as a safeguard, all grades, of proficiency and probity have existed, ranging.from excellence to worthlessness, It is furthermore undeniable that too many students of . conveyancing :have hitherto per milled themselves to be satisfied 'with mere forms and iechniCalities, fleyoting little time to theimastery of law as a science. The result has been a plentiful growth of ~scriveners and . copyists, useful in their - sphere, but foreVer de pendent upon the advice and instruclion of those whom superior intelligence and educa tion place nearer the original sources 'of in formatien and comprehensive thought. In addition to the very great importance of • establishing - smile `definite` standard by which we may determine certainly between the com petent and incompetent, the want of that amity in action only to be secured by an or ganization similar to- the medical fraternity and.the Bar, has long been felt by- many of ' the profession. Questions of law and practice, perhaps requiring modificaticin of the statutes, frequently arise, such as could be properly de termined only by concentrated effort. Com paratively few members of the Bar, even num bering those of most deserved reputation, have made real estate law an especial study. These, except where possessing political influence, are too few and too scattered to represent the ex perienced needs of the public, or to exercise that influence upon legislative action which might reasonably be expected from a body combining numerical strength with ability and • experience. To borrow from the words of the preamble to the constitution adopted, "the design and object of the Association will be to elevate and advance the standard of conveyancing, as a profession requiring legal knowledge, skill and integrity, and to conserve and protect the character and good standing of such profession, in the city of Philadelphia; to adopt and es tablish such rules and regulations, to be ob served by the profession, as shall he. deemed advantageous to the meinbers . of the ,Asso- - elation ; and to take cognizanbe of and act Ripon such matters as shall concern the pro fesSional interest of its members and of their clients." These are the essential elements of the or wilzation. An, examination of some other features of the constitution will prove of in teresting benefit. After providing for the ad mission to membership within the following six months of all properly qualified applicants; the second article declares that thereafter only those shall be admitted who have first passed a satisfaetory examination before a committee, and have studied in the offices of practicing conveyancers, members of this association, for three years prior' to application. If recom mended by the committee, they' must 'further be elected by the votes of two-thirds of the rnerobere prebtut at any stated meeting. The benefits thus secured-must be appar•ent to all. Fow , young men of ability will waste time I m the Offices of conveyancers not of this associ ation, if conscious that - the time and labor. so misspent will avail nothing as regards member ship, and , proportionately 'few • - persons . not members practice cotiVeyancing at all. Many who heretofore would- haVe entered attornies' offices, and,after.liMited study of the general . prin , ciples, of - appeared - before the ptiblic as conve,yancers, though ne- Cessarily ignorant of the practice and 'but su perficially acquainted with the theory of con veyancing, will hereafter be careful, to' study with those members 'of the bar who are really competent conveyancers—members of this as, sociation. Finally, this cannot' but be of great utility to all students of conveyancing by se curing more able preceptors, rendering, them far more capable than heretofore-L-certainly more comprehensively, familiar with modern law as affecting real estate—and leading many to become members of the bar. Bubsequent articles provide, amongst other things, for a standing committee of ' three, to take into.consideration and: report on all such questions of law and practice as may come to their knowledge or be referred to them by the association ; and that any • member violating the rules, or offending against the law, or. who shall persevere in disreputable conduct, shall be expelled. r $ $ THE STANTON FUND. Some of the New York papers have pub lished a statement of the Stanton Fund, which appears to 'be characteristically designed to exalt New York and detract from Philadelphia. NeW York is put down at $50,000, and Phila delphia at $20,000. The fact is that the Phila delphia subscription will be fully $50,000, and, would be much larger,, if k.were thought de-, skiable to make it so. There are $35,000 al- ready down on the lists, and a sufficient num ber of other subscriptions knoWn to the com mittee to render it certain that 'Philadelphia will not be behind any part of the country in rendering her substantial tribute to the memory of the dead patriot and statesman whom she so highly honored when liVing. Ar the time of the occiu.rence of the Rich ardson-McFarland tragedy, Rev. Henry Ward Beecher endeivored to excuse his .asSerted ig norance of the circuMstances which provoked the murder by declaring that he never read the newspapers. Either Mr: Beecher has reformed his neglect or else he has been the happy vic tim of. a , singular coincidence. While an nouncing to his cont,rregation yesterday his in tention to decline an addition of eight thousand dollars to his annual salary, he said that, the first intimation of,the proposed advance was gained from the newspapers. Having expe rienced such an agreiable surprise as a conse quence of his first venture in this peculiar lit erary field,we hope be will be encouragedhere alter to devote a brief portion of each day to its consideration. Tie may 'then perhaps be convinced of two important facts'. first, that the Beecher family does not, monopolize the intelligence of the World ; second, that even a Beecher cannot commit a deliberate pffence againSt public morals without being held - re sponsible to the community for the crime. He and his sister might have been 'spared much bitter reproach, and a certain loss of caste, if they bad !carped this lesson earlier. Every day brings some fresh intelligence of the caving-in of the.foolish strike of the tele graph operators. Its failure is - a most whole some lesson to the hot-headed young men who plunged into it at the bidding of . their leaders, without cause or provocation. Pope, their " Grand Chief Operator," has .not, as we are told from a reliable source, been out of - work at all, having taken care to secure employment on another. line. But he had no scruple in de ranging' the business and social communications of the whole country, allowing his siibordinates to take- the pecuniary loss; while he looked after his own interest, and hoped to win Whatever glory could be get: out of this unreasonable strike. This Pope of the Telegraphers' League made a grandiloquent speech In this city, last week, in which lie declared that "if this.strike Tall labor organizations must, go down." The fact that the strike has Tailed, and that labor organizations have nergone • doWn, indicates that the infallibility of the Pope is not.yet an accepted dogma in this part of the world. Members of, the Board of Health who "took their walks abroad," yesterday, must have :been -gratified with- the gen- - eral garniture of the side-walks of Philadelphia. There has been no notice of a strike among the ash-carters ; but the wretched array of barrels) boxes and other receptacles fbr ashes which obstructed and disfigured the streets was suffi cient evidence that not only are the new con tracts practically inoperative, but that the time is fully come for the interposition of some new power to compel the maintenance of a de gree of decent cleanliness and order In the streets of this city. . An amusing instance of a very small, but not very uncommon game, - occurs in this morning's papers. . A newspaper carrier caught a boy on Saturday stealing papers. The Ledger mentions the fact, and says that the young thief had in his possession eleven Ledgers and one each of three other papers. The Inquirer says he was captured while stealing an Inquirer. And, the Post remarks that " subscribers will now know where all their missing papers go." HEADQUARTERS FOR EXTRACTINCL TEETH WITH FRESH NITROUS OXIDE GAB. `ABSOLUTELY NO FAIN." DR. F, R.

Islands by our Government. Fiat, MO. To the. 'Honorable the Preoi4ent of Vie L'oilea Mates nJ Auterioct. . Sus: . I'. Yen are aware of the political and social condition of the group or Fill Islands, the.residents of which, many of thein Ameri cans, but most of them British, begin to feel the want of the protection of some powerful nation, as well for the purpose of maintaining theinaposition with the native authorities as for outward security in their trade and com merce. a. It has been mooted, in turn, that Prance, Prussia and America con templated annexation of these islands ,• and' ( the consequent excitement, and doubt tends' materially to retard our progress, His the desire of some of us to govern ourselves in conjunction with King Thakombau, under the solo protection of America, and of others under the joint pro tectorate of the three powers above-nane e i and England. 4. The connection which has hitherto existed between the native authori ties and America, although from the nature .1 its creation distasteful to the former from the anxieties It has caused. has, nevertheless,beee advantageous, euabliug ling Thakonibau frenitlm itre-stip- attending your care of him to keep down native disturbances. The pe riod is, however, arriving when you will no longer on your own aceonnt require to keep an eye to the country. We, therefore, the , undersigned subscribers, being composed firstly of residents in. the grow?, ,and secondly of others who 'have identified our fortunes with it, earnestly pray that you wilt, at an early date, announce to the world your . resolve to extend the protection of your flag to these islands and waters permanently. The geegralitileal position of the group in the South Pacific ocean intim: to it as being a. suitable naval and realingstation in Ameriean interests. 7. The line of steamers projected to run between San FraneLsto awl Australia. on the opening of the railway from the former place to Now York, will necessitate the creek-, lion of a coaling station near to Australis. and these islands possess the advantage of being equidistant from, the latter Orme, in the direct track of'the steamers, about the same number of miles as the Sandwich Isla uds are from San Francisco. S. The exquisl te climate Of the Fijia, with their valuable. produetions,snehttse"otton ;nem, finer in the world). sugar, cocoanut oil, &C., naturally leads reelecting and enterprising men to look forward to these islands as becom ing a desirable residence for both Americans and Europeans, and the opening up of ex tended 'commercial relations between the - United States of America anti Australia, point to their political connection with the former as being likely to be beneficial to both. 'We, therefore,' again earnestly express the hope that the prayer of this petition for the protection of the. American flag (under our own system of self-government) may be answered in the affirmative. We have the honor to be, Sir, your most obedient servants.

AN INTEBVIIEW Don Piatt writes as follows to the Cincinnati Commercial from Washington : I was called upon, the other day, by a queer specimen of humanity, who had inflicted him self on the world for about forty years. He wore an abbreviated bob-tail, tight pantaloons, and a cane. The cane was something more than a brooni-handle, and something less than a club. Although dressed is the latest style, be was evidently of an old style, peculiar to the frontier, ana bothered me amazingly to know whether he was full of enthusiasm or whisky. He stared at me a second, and then, asked: • "Are you the wielder of the facile pen styled D. P.?" . . I responded that such was my maiden mime. " Well," he continued, • I am the editor of the Trumpet of Freedont,in 3liss.ouri,and that's a of a scurrilous sheet up our way." I expressed inyself delighted to make the acquaintance-of so renowned a personage, and invited him to be seated. No, sir," he exclaimed; "I don't . propose to angle my corpus at the present writing. I know that your time is precious. The world waits anxiously for the scintillations of your brilliant pen. I say, let it scintillate. You re fer, in your letters, to that ancient person of the State Department as Old Sardine. I have just interviewed him. I come to give you the process and the results, that you may send them flashing over the world, from your scintil lating pen. I was here a candidate for a Con sulate. lam not now so much a candidate as I was. I am razeed. I am sponged out. I went to see Old Sardine. I said, ',Fish, lam a candidate for a Consulate.' I put in his venerable flapper a petition signed by all the members of our Legislature. I gave unto him a recommendation from the delegation in Congress. I consigned, then and there, a peti tion from nearly everybody, from the Governor to the aierill of our county; and then 1 gave him what don't float about numerously—a letter from old Billy Tecumseh: The fishy old humbug wakened up and read my papers; then he said, as if he just thought of it when about making the appointment, • Hold on Mack, rye something here bearing on this.' I said 'Propel, Fish.' " He fumbled about and then brought out a letter. He turned down the corner so that I could not read the name, I knew as soon as I saw the writing that I was a corpse. I said, • Fish, every word in that letter is as true as Holy Writ.' The old cuss had settled back in his arm-chair, and was pulling a string through hiS 2 teeth. I determined to die game. straightened myself up and said blandly, but firmly, ' Fish, I have been in Missouri seven years, and I have been drunk as blazes a thou sand times. But--I went on—l never got op Mem:lc - drunk - as to plok - my teeth With a string.. Good morning:, Fish." Come back, Mack, come back and take a drink.' But I responded at the door, See you hanged first.' There, sir, scintillate that from your facile pen. As for the Consulate, I am a corpse." So saying, he, wheeled about and stalked out. The story sounds apocryphal from the fact that Mr. Fish offered the applicant a drink in the. State Department. SCOTT'S ART GALLERY AND ALTITTIOI4 - COMMISSION SALES-ROOMS, 13. SCOTT, Ja..

He said the bill was passed by the Home last ses sion, and provided that retired ofticersshould not bq assigned to duty—a necessity in time of war, which did not now exist.

A motion by Mr. Stewart to postpone the Senate bill and take up the House measure gave rise to a discussion upon the,, proper method of procedure under the rules. The Chair decided that upon the' motion to postpone, the merits of the subject to be post poned were not debatable under the sixth rule of the Senate. Further debate arising, Mr.: Trumbull, in order to obviate the difficulty, moved to lay the Senate bill on the table. Mr. Edmunds submitted a question of 'order, Which was recognized as Well taken, that the latter motion could not take precedence of the one pending. • Mr. Stewart finally withdrew his motion, and then moved to lay the Senate bill on the table. I Mr. Morrill (Vt.l said the motion opened up the whole question at issue. He desired to know upon what inducement the 'Republican party proposed by adopting the House bill to commit suicide. Mr. Davis interjected the remark that the 4epub)ican party's inclination to commit suicide was because it felt that it ought to be hanged. 31r.
