A "NlEwi'lltENCE!-PIIIIISIIER CoMIN.
The, cahle'Aelegrams mention a report that:
M. tuciso Anatole Prevoit-Paradol has been
appointed Minister to 'the United States. We
hope t sincerey that this is true. France could'
do nothing that would be more gratifying to
every tre-mh:aled and well-informed American
than to send here as ,Minister such a man as
Prevest-yaradol. Compared with all the
Counts, or Barons, or Princes, that might be
named on the score of rank, be is intellectually,
and 'politically a giant. Ile is liberal, without
being a fanatic in , liberalism. 'He is 'as far re
movtrd from being a democratic demagogue, as
be is t from being a wershipper, at the, footstool
of imperialism. He is the opposite of. Roche
fort in 'Ali reasonable and practical ideas, and
be is a thousand times more valuable friend of
the people than Rochefort has been, is, or ever
can be. For ROthettirt is a wild enthusiast,
whito_Prikvost,Paradol is a scholar ; a thinker i _
a Philosoidter; one who observes and
studies, and who does not confine
his observations to France, or even to Europe;
for, of all' the French journalists with whose
writings we are familiar, none have shoWn a
more enlightened intelligence concerning the
course of events in the United States, during
the last ten or ;fifteen years. In the darkest
days of our civil war, when the English press
was ,misrepresenting us, and when many of
the Paris papers were either silent concerning
us, or were in the pay of the rebel bankers and
otheri, and openly hostile, to us; the Journal
des bibuls contained frequent well-considered
and 'well-written articles that did us justice,
and the best of these were signed "Prevost-
Faradol." A number' of • these were either ,
translated in full, or epitomized for the
BUI.LETIN, as they came under our notice,
and the study of them created the impression
that their writer was one of the wisest, as well
as the truest, friends that the United States had
in Europe. > It is a delight, therefore, as well
as a surprise, that such a man should be men
tioned as likely to come to Washington as the
Minister of France.
Id.,Prevost-Paradol is in the prime of life,
'having been horn at Paris, August Bth, 1829.
He received a • liberal education, and gained
several prizes, and began a -career as an author
which promised to be brilliant. But, his tastes
inclined towardsjournalism, and in 1856 he
became one of the editors of the Journcd des
Dibats. In 1860 be was attached for a time
to the P'resse, but he soon returned to the
Dibats, and has ever since been one of its. best
writers. lie atone time wrote political articles
also for a Sunday paper, the Courrjer du
Dimanoe, which were so clever, so sarcastic
and so truthfui, that the paper received a warn
ing from the Government. His newspaper
duties have not prevented him from engaging
in other literary labors, such as political
pamphlets, 4nidessays on moral and historical
themes. In' 1859 he was im
prisoned a month , and tined 1,000
francs for a 'pamphlet called "Les Ancterts
Part's." A work published in 1657, called
Du Rae de' la Fanzine dans l'Education,"
was ' 4 ,er-owned" by the French Acadelny ; and
that select hody, of Which he was elected a
memher in 1865, also appointed him, in; 1867,,
one of the committee of five to superintend a,
new edition of.the "Historical Dictionary Of
the French Language." From these and other
facts tl'iht might be stated, it will be seen tliat
M. Prevost-Paradol ranks in intellect and fame
any man that has ever been sent to America as
Minister from,France. If he has really been
appointed,it is a high compliment to the United
States. It is also a proof of the sincerity of the
Emperorin his new liberal policy; for in past
times Pievost-Paradol was disliked as well as
.dreaded by,thelmperialists, and was made to
suffer li'yUthilne and imprisonment.
THE ,11111CTIATER
The Second street storekeepers, who are op
posed to tlie sidewalk markets, have addressed
•to the Legislature, in aceordance with our sug
gestion, a petition demanding that the bill for
abolishing the nuisance shall be passed. They
present substantially the arguments advanced
in this journal, together with some additional
facts. They claim that two-thirds of the mer
chants in the Minded localities; desire the re
moval of the markets, and these represent very
much the .argent amount of capital upon that
portion of the street; they affirm that the
street blockaded, during portions of four
days in every week, so that the • customers of
the stores' hare great difficulty in reaching
them; and they declare that not only a potr
lion of, thie`market.people are hucksters, as, we
state d, ; bat thai nearly all of them' are
illy dealers who play farmer and sell
their stale , goods from hired wagons.
This nuisance and fraud ought to be ended,
and thejegititnate merchants of the street have
a right tctregnir &tat, it shall be. There are
plenty of market sheds and houses into which
,
ttese hucksters run gop and _sorra , the public
tit/rite itryvarr'in the eticet.
o.tempt should be niede to establish this
upon any other ttiorhughfare In the eity,a hew'
would be retort by eVery property Owner and
storekeeper iii the neighborhood; and the pollee
would Put a stop to the traffic akorice. There
pis no better, reason why tiiec,ond street should
.s hrive this market Imposed !volt tJiari that
othetistrect storrld. The ' cp.sltoh) at 'any
rate, is out of date in cities. 'lt does well
enough lu the priblicsqiiares of cOhntry tow is,;
-but in one of the!' most, ,icrowclfAstreets of a
,large city it is an outrageous itnposition which
ought to be aticdialied as a nuisance, and as a
troublesome ielic of the tithes when Phila
delphia was a village.
AM PEABODY'S FUNERAL
It is gratifyingiO know that the remains of
Mr. George,Peabody will be buried to:4nor-
Ow. There is an impression among thought
ha people that,lhere has been'VerYiniteli more
pomp and ceremony,over this man's dead body
than was required by good taste or proper re
sped for Mr.: I 3 eabody's well=known dislike for
such things:'' Considering the great service he
had done to , the people of the Untted States
'and England, it was right that the govern
ments of the two countries should join,in , ex
pressing their appreciation by canveying his
body to America 'in a national vessel. But
from , the funeral in Westminster Abbey
to the final *services to-morrow,' the presence of
the remains in any pitted has' been made by
orators, clergy, nien, poets and inilitary men'
the occasion of a display 'of themselves and' of
ceremonials which are only proper
, when they are not too often repeated.
'The people 2of ~ the country:: are disgusted
with the selfish ' : and ;
~.prolOrtgation
'of ;these funeral rites; they feel that the high
est honor that could have been paid to Mr.
reahody?s remains would have beento bury
them with'_decent ceremony, immediately upon
their arrivalin thih. country. That is whit the
great philanthropist would have wished if `he
had considered theniatter. All this show, and
parade, and verbiage and exhibition of the per
sonal vanity of the living seems shocking, in the
presence of the' dead botly . of , unaffected,
modest, good man. No.amount-of euldgy or
of glittering -display can recommend him to a
I'watt - ler place in the hearts of the people. He
built his 'own monument, pronounced his own
eulogy, and won his own plaee in history. - All
this ceremony over his body causes only regret
that the man who contributed to the happiness
of his fellows while living, should be compelled
to minister to the Vanity of a few of them after
his death.. . " ' '
IDOU AND CIVILIZATION IN ALASKA,
The President has issued an Executive order
prohibiting the admission of distilled spirits
into Alaska. This order is intended,' we sup
pose, 'to put an end to 'such scenes of outlawry
as that chronicled by us on Saturday. A
sutler, one Christmas day, sold villainous.
whisky by the quantity to a gang of Indians,
and the Miserable savages, made more savage
by the poison,' assaulted some of the whites,
killing the sutler, and finally having several of
their own comrades slaughtered and their
village destroyed by the govermnent troops.
This is not the first tragedy of the kind that
has been enacted since we occupied the
territory. It is a disgraceful faCt that as soon
as American civilization was brought into con
tact with the natives of Alaska there was instant
conflict. Our citizens and soldiers supplied the
Indians with whisky, and then abused; cheated
and bullied them, until in desperation the
savages resisted; arid then the white men mur
dered them. It a mere repetition of the
kind Of treatment accorded to our own Indians
by Western settlers for two centuries past. It
is the dame policy that has cost, the government
millions of - money, thousands , of lives, and
made the savages our deadly foes instead of
our friends and allies. The. Russians in Alaska'
had no trouble with the natives,' They
behaved to them as the Hudson's Bay
Company did to the Indians in British
America, protecting their rights, doing
them justice in trade, and making
it to their interest to behave themselves and
yield faithful allegiance to the existing govern
ment. They treated the Indians like Human
beings ; our policy seems to be founded upon
the old theory, born of negro slavery, that they
are inferior creatures, little' higher than brutes,
and w ithont claim-to-any liindane consideration. -
The prohibition of traffic in liquor is one step
toward reform; but it is ;MA enough. If we
are not to have constant trouble with the .
Alaskans we must send to the territory military
men who will be disposed to protect the natives
from the outrages practiced, against them ,by
white Settlers; who will regard' them as men .
capable of civilization and of comprehending
the full meaning' , of an injury done''to them,
and who will respect their claim to the foster
ing care of the Government of which they are
the compulsory subjects.. ' .
DEATH OF GEORGE M. WHARTON.
Following close upon the death of Horace
Binney, Jr., we regret to announce the death
of another eminent member of the Philadelphia
Ear, George Mifflin Wharton, who died on Sat
urday, after a lingering illness, in, the 64th year
of his age.
Mr. Wharton, was a native of this city, the
son of FishbOurne Wharton, Esq., and has, for
many years, occupied a very prominent position
at the Philadelphia bar, where he has enjeyed
an enviable reputation as a learned and able
jurist, of high professional integrity. He has
occasionally taken pnblic positions, serving, at
one time, in Select Council, and finally accept
ing the . United States : piStrict .Attorneyship
under President Buchanan.
Mr. Wharton was a devoted member 'of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, as a Church
warden of the parish of St. James's, which he
represented for many years in the 'Diocesan
Conventions, where he was one of the accepted
leaders on the lligh Church side of the lay.
delegates. He was cool, calm and clear in
debate, both iu ecclesiastical and legal contro
versy; and exercised much influence by virtue
Jtof his unbleinished personal character. •
Educated, politically, in the tenets of the
Willa party, Mr. Wharton most unfortunately
drifted, at its diSruption, into the ranks of the
Democracy, and at the opening. of the:Re
,

body of his, old friends and associates- An

prose 'volume, but his forthcoming work,
" Society and Solitude," will be unmetrical,
and his address . at the _Academy tonight

prose—prose having more inspiration and

fouad and traveled observer, he will be able
to treat his subject, "social Life in America,"

are not accustomed. We have notthe slightest

—The attraction at Earles' Galleries is still
'to be found in Fagnani'm portraits of American
girls of the period - in the drapery of the Nine
Muses. The paintings are destitute of qual

art-critic, but their strong social interest se
cures them ample success.
—The largest number of lots yet, put up
at an art-auction in the United, States was
closed on Saturday night in this city. This
was at the sale of Mr. Halseltine's stock of
engravings, and the catalogue mounted: to
130, only to be exceeded by the number of
objects in the Thompson Gallery at Leeds , &
Miner's. Mr. Scott's most trying task was at
the last evening's sale, which contained con
siderably more than its proper third of the
stock ; yet his excellent voice and animation
served him well to the conclusion,at 11 o'clock.
The continued strain developed, well the
natural powers of a very uncommon organ,
andrnacie us wonder that the handsome auc
tioneer had never thought of shining in opera.

\VAeutncxoir, Feb. 7.--The report of
General Garth;ld's gold panic investigating
committee will be very voluminous. It will
cover two thousand pages of foolscap paper
in manuscript.
The report will show that no Government
official here was implicated In the affair. It'
will also show that offers were made to Mrs.
Grant and General Horace Porter to carry half.
-re in :gold for - vinnu-dusing -
the existence of the " corner" in New York
last September, and that the said offers were
in both caSes indignantly spurned by the
parties named.,
The report will implicate Gen. Daniel But
terfield as having gope deliberately into the
transaction, and having benefited himself and
others thereby. This investigation covers a
period of two months, while the corner was
being organized and during the time of the
existence of the panic.

THE LEGAL TENDER CASES
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-LA decision will be
rendered in the Supreme 'Court to-day in one
of the legal tender cases.. It is' , tuzderstood
that the Court does not touch, directly, the
point as"to the Constitutiotiallty 'of the'. law.
They decide that all contracts- made prior
to the passage of the legal tender act
must be paid in coin. The opinion is such
as to allow the inference to be drawn that the
court hold that all contracts niado since the
passage of the law can be paid in legal-tenders,
and thus in reality affirm the constitutionality
of that law. Two opinions will b© delivered,
the above being one expressing the views of
the majority of the court.

impudent apeech, or gross double-entendre,
shocking to feminine modesty. The ladies"
were made targeta for paper balls, tired•
with schoolboy precision—nates were Ihrown
at and handed to them—proceedings'
which they have systematically disregarded.'
But this being only occasional, they endured
it without complaint, knowing that no redress
was . possible. They say they have been careful
to give no provocation for these insults--never
bolding conversations with the male students;
even refusing to recognize in class the gentle
men whom they met and knew in society.
Since the disturbances by the Philadelphia
students. our own seem determined ta emu
late their example. The ladies assert that
upon entering they are greeted with hisses,
yells showers of paper wads, and shouts of
"l'hiladelphia! Put 'ena out !" -etc., coming
from a clique 'of about a hundred. The ma
jority of the men, they say, have treated them
respectfully, but do not seem disposed, if they
are able ; to restrain the rest. At • the clinic
n-evious to the last matters came to a crisis.
he ladies were hissed and paper balls and
Ms of orange peel were thrown directly in
their faces. The vilest speeches were made
to them, and a horribly obscene drawing was
droppedinto the lap of one. The expoatulation
of one or two decent men was met by such
remarks as these : "What business have they
here, crowding out the men?" . "They're out
of place ; if they seek such places they- Must
expect such things: One man made himself
particularly offensive and gross, otsserving to
ono of the quiet women that "You're a set of
------, or you wouldn't be here !" One
of the lady students collected the paper wads
threiVll at them, and at the close of the clinic
carried there, with' the picture, to Dr. Jas.
R. Wood, the operating surgeon. He
expressed his regret and, surprise in strong
terms. He felt degraded, he said, that one of
his sex should stoop to such things. He was
glad that the ladies were there, and wanted
them to be thoroughly educated.' He signified
his determination promptly to settle the mat
ter, and conferred with. Wardeh Brennan on
the subject. The ladies say that they have
never met with any annoyance in the wards
or halls of the Hospital, and that the House
Staff are always thoroughly courteous.
On last Saturday, Prof. Wood, before begin
ning the operation (an amputation of the
thigh) addressed the students in regard to the
disturbance. After announcing the operation
for the day, he invited them to adjourn at its
close to the College building to witness some
amputations on the cadaver, "which I am des
sirons," he said, "that you should all see." He
continued, with the following remarks: '
Gentlemen • I wish it here understood that
any clinics are open and free to the students of
every school, and without regard to sex. Let
me say what I feel compelled to say, not of the
gentlemen attending this clinic, but of some
attendants here, who, I know, do not repre
sent the whole. Their conduct on last Satur
day was in the last degree disgraceful. You
all have sisten or mothers, and I know that
no gentleman would have either his sister or
mother subjected to such , insulting treatment
as I have learned the ladies attending, this
clinic,_. last
• Saturday.,received at the hands
of two` or three of the male students
assembled here. I have been shown a paper,
upon which was an indecent drawing, most
shockingly obscete, thrown at the ladiei by
one of the persons referred to. I have also
had related' to masome of the terribly dis-,
graceful language used, and I will say that no
gentleman can or would approve, excuse or
countenance such conduct. [Applause] No
person here, whether he be a student of some
pne of the Medical Colleges, or whether he be
a practitioner who May have come to the
city to •• attend the clinics for the
purpose of further observation, has a
light •to object to the ladies attending these
Clinics in a manner that shall be offensive to
them. They have an undoubted right to attend
these clinics, as much so as any of you. They
have a right by a common public consent, and
by the rules of this institution to occupy these
benches for ,the purposes of 'Clinical observa
tion and instruction. The Legislature has
given them this right. The charter of this Hos
pital provides that the students of any. char
tered institution shall have the right to attend
these clinics. And theirs is a chartered insti
tution. They have a regular charter, and
it is in the exercise of such a right and privi.
ege that they are here with 118 ; and as such
hey are entitled • to respectful consideration
n the part of every gentleman present, and
there is none who should fail to accord it.
(Applause.] , Had I the power I would for
ever forbid any person who shouldtio disgrace
himself in'this way from entering. the portals
f this or any other medical college, even if
uch a one were my own brother.
The modes of amputation are .so Many that
bey are 'often illustrated upon a cadaver, and
ti )
his illustration should properly take place in
the ampitheatre when the first operation is •
eld. KnoWing thisi, the' ladies supposed that

deliberately across the court -yard into, the
lectere-rdona' of Believe° College, the first

Forty-first Conicremisecond session.
[Szicarz , —Continued from Third Xdition.)
Mr. Trumbull called up his bill to relieve
members of Congress from impoqunity and
Annoyance. of procuring offices. The bill
makes it unlawful hereafter for any member
of either Rouse of Congreas to recommend or
suggest, verbally or otherwise, any one for
ofh ce to any head of the Department, with an
amendment.
Mr. Patterson thought this matter ought to
be considered in connection with the Civil
Service bill. •
Mr, Trumbull urged that this was a separate
measure, and designed to, reach a most annoy
ing condition of things which ought to be
avoided as soon as possible. It was referred
to the Judiciary Committee, and they had
carefully considered the bill and were warmly
in favor of its inunediate passage.
Mr. :Ramsey wanted to know if there"' Was
any provision in the bill to prohibit Senators
or representatives from remonstrating against
appointments of bad men to office. .
• Mr. Trumbull said there was nothing of that
sort:in the bill.
Mr. Schurz was in favor of civil service re
ferni, but thought this bill inadequate to pre
vent a practice which was a demoralizing one,
and that this bill only transfers recommenda
tions from big politicians to small ones.
Mr. Howard said somebody must advise the
President as to appointments. That• officer.
Must rely on somebody, and there should be
persons to whom he can apply for advice and
information as to Senators and Members of
Congress. The practice is as old as history
of the Government. Although its abuse is an
evil, yet it cannot be set aside without incur
king a greater. evil. •
Mr. Williams moved to amend sous to pro
hibit also all judicial, military or naval officers
from the practice to be abolished by the bill.
The bill was laid aside upon the expiration
of the morning hour, and the Senate proceedeil
to the consideration of the Census bill which
the committee had reported as a substitute for
the House bill.
On motion or, Mr. Sumner the original bill
was read.

The substitute of the committee was their

chime, inserting the f following:::" That
the 'Secretary of the Interior "be directed*,
change the schedule and blanks to to used .In,
enumerating the inhabitants, of the United
States in 1870 so as to make.the same conform
to the, Constitution of the United States."., This
`leaves 'the bill in other 'respects the 'Seine ea
that providing for tho census of 1850.
Mr. Conkling, in advocating the sutetitute,
said the Committee were desirous to let well
enough alone. He referred to the law of 1850
as one not designed for temporary . purpose,
'but' carefully prepared by the wisest-men,
`of the, nation:as a permanent measure. Prior
to 1886, at every decade a new bill was pro
vided ; and appreciating the necessity' for a
permanent law on theonbject. the law•df 'lB5O •
was matured after' months of careful delibera
tion— ~Tbie law, in every sense save one, is as
applicable:as a ny law that could be devised.
The arnendinent to the Constitution abolish
ing slavery necessitates 'a 'change as to the
enumeration of alavei, and that is all. The
j House bill proposes a new body of
officials, and appoints in every. Congressional
district a superintendent, to act , and to hold
office "until th e " Ist .Of

longer than is' necessary to complete- the
enumeration. Seven months would be 'the
period, which, at eight: dollars per day, would
be four hundred thousand dollars. It ab3o pro
vided for clerks at four dollars per day„ which..
would amount to six hundred thorthand dollars.
This work Was done the last time for fOrtyltive
thousand dollars. Such ' a change 'fici
proposed would be the creation of a' fifth "
set of officers, for we, now have'llfarshats,

their clerks and assistants andAseessors, with

turns nothing so much leads to error alit,a

we will say, forty millions. If one' enumera
