THE FINE ARTS..
our tamoussculptor, .r. A. Bailly, ha.s been
for more than a month a resident of Wifshing:
ton, where he is incredibly busy preparing his
model of the equestrian statue of Grant, for
the Treasury building. The President, the
other day, s9nt a messenger to ask if a visit of
inspection would be welcome. The sculptor
was compelled to decline the honor, and will
keep the hasp on the de - or - for the present. Re
is, in fact, sketching in clay, on a scale that
will be understood when we obserVe that the
horse is eleven feet high to the shoulder. He
does not follow servilely the small model
which has been exhibited, and of which
a finished bronze copy is displayed at
the foundry of Robert Wood S.: Co.,
— oir - I:thige avenue. On .e contrary the sculp
tor has struck an entirely new attitude for his
horse, which will be represented with the fore
legs firmly planted and braced, and the head
lowered to snuff the air. The painful method
of this " sketching in clay" is due to the fact
that thu progressing work is interiorly sup-_
p - ortettlfy — ii - tiffilieflars and wires very
many of • . • - . • sunder4v-lie
a member is changed ; these impediments at
tach great inconvenience to any artistic lafter
tbouglit. Yet the artist has moved the head
of the-animal-two feet from-its—first—position,
chiefly from the desire of allowing an wain
cumbered view of Grant's figure from the
front. The President's stud of horses are ex
ercised every morning in the neighborhood of
the studio.
At Mr. Dallly's Philadelphia atelier, No.
2:i17 Chestnut street, a most striking window
display is made, very attractive to the numer
ous passengers who cross the bridge hard by.
A very elaborate monumental device, de
signed originally by.a lady interested in the
commemoration, and arranged for the carver
by Mr. Dailly,.repfesents a group of wheat
ears. Nothing could be harder to treat in mar
ble, yet the relief and delicacy are exquisitely
artistic.
At Earle's Galleries Ls now displayed the
last marine painting by William T.. Richards,
differing in many respects from anything he
has done in this specialty. tinder a success
ful representation of an evening sky, in which
low bars of dark watery scums clouds are
dragged across the fading camulous masses
of sunset, swells a turbulent sea, now sub
siding after wind. A great mass of water to
the right;--.covered with minor wavelets, is
just gathering to comb over in a breaker. The
reflection of the light-house lantern struggles
down the waves, and the rocks to the lett are
seamed with white woolly threads of breaking
foam,-.lt is,.of course, a curious and powerful
analysis, -but the curling breakers are hard
and have lost the movement.
. . _. . .
Messrs. Earle have shown us a curious
document in which some of the most respec
table Dusseldorf painters protest against the
forgeries of their works sold in America.
Profs. Carl Hiibner and L. Knaus are among
the signers. They say : .
" We are in pos.*ssion of a number of facts
by which we are enabled to describe the ordi
nary operations of these 'traders. Having
managed to obtain original 'Pictures by recog
nized masters, they employ a number of
brokendown artists, or people Without talent,
to copy them wholesale. The monograms are
then either written indistinctly or with the
alteration of a letter, and often the word'
' na ch ' (after? is put before the name in such
a manner that it gets hidden under the frame.
Sikh copies are then forced, by all kinds of
manoeuvres, upon the notice of purchasers, or
are sold at auctions, under the original or
some other name, at 'comparatively good
prices—having pry/Thusly been well putted
by the speculators ,as : ' Works of
the most celebrated masters of the
Dusseldorf School at , great bargains.'—
Occasionally the original works are first ex
hibited in the frames, which are afterwards
exchanged for copies of the same size. Forged
receipts and letters from the ! artists are also
sometimes shown ; and, even,: invented de
licriptions of the misery, of certain artists, and'
widows of artists, are' brought to boar in order
to induce a purchase or exchange with non
connoisseurs. One of the most successful of
these so-called picture-dealenfron his trial for .
fraud, confessed, among others; to have had a
.picture of a Dusseldorf artist copied twenty
one times. The. testimony of witnesses who
were heard in this case threw considerable
light upon this odioustraffic,—especially show
ing the wholesale manufacture of copies at
tr
wages . of from.2s oschens to ,a • thaler per
diem—and the di eretpt methods adopted to
realize upon thes copies .were also e4posed.
in all their details." . .

tors ui the Uirizenx' iron : On Saturday. last, the
Stith alt., a memorial was presented in upon Court, Pre
sident Judge Allison and myself being on the bench,
signed by thn officers and directors of the Citizens' As
sociation. The same memorial having been presented
before me previonaly, bet not heard or considered by
reason of the press of other business at the time, it has
been deemed proper that I should expritis the views wo
entertain in regard to ft. •
1.1115 memorial was presented by the officers and direc •
tors aforesaid " on behalf of the many hundreds of mem
bers of the said association." as well as for themselves as
citizens. It calls the attention of the Count.> the main
tenarice of alleged " grievous public nuisances by the
• several Passenger Railway Companles."a list whereof
- isappended to said iiierireritir:• It further eats forth that
"the.several corporations aforesaid, and all-of them,.
have for a tong time violated the taws of the Common
wealth, the ordinances of the city of Philadelphia, and
their respective charters, aed still continue to violate
the same, in the omission and neglect to comply . with the
requirements relating to the keeping in proper repair
the roada,____Streetir___mal_limlgrays____occuplorl—end
th - a =r- sitid - • Corporations respectiveW with their
railroad tracks..' The said memorial further
sets forth that the" said highways aro, in their present
condition. dangerous to travel.;_that .they impede the.
business of our citizens ; are destructive to the health
and comfort of all classes of our community, and thus aro
moot grievous nuisances ; and as such nuisances aro
created, and maintained by the railroad corporations
`aforesaid, whose duty it is under ,the laws, ordinances
and charters aforesaid, to keep and, maintain this high
ways in good and proper order and repair." It further
avers that "by reason of the nuisances aforesaid,
the lives of our citizens are daily imperiled ; that.
these ;who own horses and vehicles.- for busi
ness or pleasure are sufferers to the extent
of liotsdrede -of - -thousands of - dollars nmatally
•by the injury . to their animals and damage to their
vehicles, and this less falls with especial severity upon
the poor man who owns and uses his horse' for the
support of himself and family." The memorial further
seers that " there seems to be no adequate, effective,
sufficient or practical remedy of the public nuisance
aforesaid, except through an indictment of the several
corporations referred to at common law ;" and the
memorialist therefore pray the Court to present the sub
ject to the consideration of the Grand Jury, together
with the memorial aforesaid, with instructions dil
igently to inquire into the nuisance specified therein,
and if sarsiiied I therewith. 'to find true bills against the
several corporations so offending as a foresaid.
. Attached-to the memorial are several - schedules show-
ilia the condition of the various streets occupied by the.

said schedules are correct. The petition is not sworn to
by any one. _
This is a very novel application. The petltionere in
voke the aid of extraordinary powers on the part of the
Court ; and the request comes trout such it large body of
our most respectable fellow-citizens, that we feel dis
posed, if 'hero were no other reason', to consider it with
care. We are naked in aubstance to institute criminal
proceedings against the companies referred to, by
laying the said memorial before the Grand Jury., with
instructions to Inqu ire into the truth of the chargee,and
In case they shall ascertain them to be well founded, to,
find Oat bills against tho ,said companies. .And.we are

there is tie othe r adequate and practical remedy.for the--

of the action invoked and the correctness of the reason ,
assigned therefor.. .
Cl;y24tfrps
As a general principle, any departure from the• well
established rules of law regulating the commencement
of criminal prosecutions is to be avoided. We do not
pursue the beaten path merely because it is such, But
for the reason that experience has demonstrated that
course to be the safer one. It is better for the Common
wealth. a nor safer for the citizen. Sojealous is the law of
'the liberty of the latter, that it throws around him cer
tain safeguards which thei Courts cannot dispense with
• save iu a few. exceptional cases ; and then only to a Ml
ted extent, and for some reason of pressing necessity, or
high public importance. It is but necessary to glance
for a moment at the means provided by law in order to
bring an offender to answer at the bar of the Court, to
realize with what care Ills rights are protected... First,
there must bean arrest, based upon information made
under oath before a magistrate. Secondly, there must be
a hearing, at which the defendant may be confronted with
his accuser and his witnesses, and have an opportunity to
cross-examine the latter.whereuponjf a pre maja cia case
is made out, the magistrate returns it to the court ; a bill
of indictment ha then prepared and laid before the
Grand Jury when the witnesses must again be worn or
affirmed. Twelve of the Grand Jurors must concur in
order to find a'• true bill.'' When such a hill Is fennel,
and nut before. the accused may be placed on his trial.
But before lie can be called upon to plead, he' is entitled
ak - ha - vettn. --- natue - uf - tle - prota-eutor-endersed-wpon-rn
back of the bill. He thus has sense one responsible for a
malicious prosecution. And this is his right. The law
admits no departure from it excepting when the District-
Attoniey, , acting in his official capacity, sends in
a Lill to the Grand Jury. That officer thee be
COlll, in effect the prosecutor-a responsibility
assumed in few instances. and then only for sufficient
reasons. When the bill of indictment hiss been so formed
and endorsed tier acciat , ed may.berequired_to_plead_and
fTilii-n-iii a misition where he may he placed upon his
trial. In order to convict there must be the ti • • • :
....
yen it. o ijury o t e - e men, so a in 1 ItIOLI to the
(me:eating magistrate it requires the concurrence of
twenty-tour jmors—twelve grand and twelve petit
jurors—in order to convict a citizen of crime. And in
every stage of the prosecution it is
,proper to observe
that there is a "Adicial proceeding pending and thatfalse swearing to any matter ."materlal to tan, issue'
therein is perjury. These different steps in a criminal
prosecution aronot mere forms. They are matters of
substance ; they are safeguards thrown around the citi
zen for his protection, and which should only be dis
pensed with for imperative reasons.
ln this case the Petitioners have not sworn to the
truth of the facts contained in their memorial. A lel
e, en if there had been such an affidavit, it. would have
been in an ex-parte proceeding, and the pains and penal
ties of perjuries could not have attached. And while
in this particular instance, this might nut bo a matter of
any moment, yet the principle is important, as it Is a
protection to which every defendant is entitled.
This matter ispressed upon the Court as one of public
necessity. Both the remedy and the manner of enforcing
it are claimed as the only effective means of correcting .
the alleged evils. When parties conic into court to ask
us to exercise unneual powers, they ought. to show that
they have exhausted the usual comedies provided by law
iu such cosies. nave the petitioners done so. in this in
stance?
W ithout referring minutely to the various acts of As
sembly incorporating these railway companies, it is
sufficient for our present purpose to say that in moat, if
not In all eases, they are either required by the express
terms of their respective charters to keap the streets
over which their roads are laid in good repair, or they
are made subject to such regulations or restrictions as
the C.uncils of the city may from time to time adopt in
relation thereto.
A number of ordivances have been'passed by Councils
from time to time, in the exercise of the power given
them by law over this class of corporations, some of
which it is proper to refer to. The first section of the
ordinance of July 7, 1857, provides 'that all passenger
railroad companies within the city of Philadelphia shall
he subject to the restrictions, limitations,torms and con
ditions hereinafter provided ; and. tiny such company,
tefore entering upou any street, avenue or alley within
'the . kirsaid City; shell be understood - and' deemed
to tie subject thereto, upon the conditions hereinafter
prescribtd."
The third section of the sante ordinance provides that
"all railroad companies, as aforesaid, shall bo at the en
tire cost and expense of maintaining, paving, repairing
and repaving that may be necessary upon any road,
street, avenue, or alley occupied by them."
The fourth section of the said ordinance further pro•
vides that " it shall be the duty of any compithy as
aforesaid, when required to do so by the Chief Commis
sioner of II ighways, to remove ally obstruction, mend
or repair their road, pave or repave the highways, es
reinliefore provided, and should they neglect or refuse
to do so for ten days from the date of such notice, then
and in snob case the Councils may forbid the running of
any ear or cars upon the said road until the same is fully
complied with ; and the city reserves the right in all
such eases to repair or repave all such streets, and the
expense thereof shall be a judgment upon the road,
stock and effects of such company, recoverable as judg
-I»efitli are now recoverable in the city of Philadelphia."
This was followed by the ordinance of October 5, 1b63.
tics tirst section of which provides :—" That if ally pas
senger railway company, required by law to maintain
and keep in repair the roads, streets, avenues or alleys,
occupied by them shall suffer any such road, street,
avenue or alley, or any part thereof, to be and remain
out cif repair, it shall be the duty of the Chief .00111111b3-
shorter of Highways to give such company a notice to
writing, forthwith to put the same in good repair ; and
if, at the expiration of ten dove front the service of
such notice, the said road, street, avenue, alloy, or
part thereof, mentioned in such notice, shall
not have been • repaired by the said company,
such company shall forfeit , and pay a tine of
twenty-five dollars for each and every day such road,
street, avenue or alloy, orpart thereof, shall be suffered
thereafter to remain out of repair ; to be recovered, with
costs of suit as debts of like amount are by law recover
able. And it, at the expiration of a further period of
fifteen days diereaftot, such street,road,avenue or alley,
pr part thereof,shall still rethain unrepaired by such
company; it Shall be the duty of the Chief ColllllllBBloilOr
of Highways forthwith to repair the same • and there
upon the City Solicitor shall bring suit against such of
fending Company., for such offence, as also the amount
expended by the Chief Connuilistoner in the repairing of
such road, street, avenue or alloy." • !
There aro various other provisions in the ordinances
of the city concerning these companicagineh as requiring
them to keep tho.streets clear of snow, keeping the gut
tore open, prohibiting the salting of the trackii, ike.,and
various penalties aro provided for the violation of any

.but it- is the - dut3- of the latter to protect her citizens, and site sel
dom rot uses to allow her quo morrow° -to go-- out-when
the interests of the public or of any considerable body
of her citizens requires it.
It would-thus seem that there are a variety
t h e r em edies opepdo the petitioners, by means whereof evils
of which they complain. if their existence can be estab•
lished, may be redressed. And yet we are not informed
that they have exhausted, or even reaorted to any one
of them. And in the absence of any attempt to enforce
any of the specific remedies alluded to—aurae of which
would appear to be ample—it is difficult to see how the
petitioners; conici wholly inadequateh conclusion that
said reniedies are And oven it there
were solid reasons for such a conclusion, it is still diffi
cult to see Why a criminal prosecution against these
companies, if commenced at all, should not be com

nary functions of the Court to originate prosecutions.
Our dirty is to sit in judgment between the Common

of the. Commonwealth, The flours ought- tirknow noth

• law." W e are then in - a - position to hear and decide with
absolute impartiality. The Courts are the last refuge of
the citizen in his extremity. His life, his property, and
his reputation, are, often involved in the questions that
continually come before us. It needs that we should

of lair own motion, without even a complaint made un

individuals or Corporations as proper subjects of Indict
ment, all the good•we could possibly accomplish in a par:
fielder case would be more than counterbalanced by
the intolerable evils which might spring up from the
precedent thus established.
We do not mean to Intimate that emergencies may not
arise in which the Court may not upon its own motion,
as was said by Judge - King in - his - able - charge to the
Giand Jury in lEWS : '"call tire attentiob of Grand Juries
to, and direct the investigation of matters of general
public import, which, from their nature - and'operation
in the entiracommbuity,justify such intervention.. The
action of the Courts odsuch occailions.rather bears on
thingi than persons, the object being the suppression of
general and public evils, affecting in their influence and
op, ration communities rather than individuals, and,
therefore, more properly the subject of general than
special complaint, such as grout riots, -that shake the
social fabric, carrying terror and dismay among the citi
zens • general public nuisances, affecting the
public health and • comfort ; multiplied and
flagrant Vices, tending to debauch and corrupt the
' public morals, and the like. In such casesjthe Courts
i
may publicly. n aid of inquiries directed by them, sum
mon, swear anti send before the Grand Jury, ench wit
nessee as they may deem necessary to a (pidinvestigation
of the evils ifitimated, in order to enable the Grand Jury
to present the offence andoffenders- _But this course la
never adopted in cases of ordinary crime, charges
against Individuals, because it would involve, to a eer-'
tain extent, the expression of opinion by anticipation of.
filets subsequently to come before the Courts for final
judgment, and because such cases present none at those
or gent nicemities which' authorize a departure from the
ordinary course of justice. In directing any of these in
vestigatione,dhe Courts act under their official respon
sibilitica, and must answer for any step taken not jus
tified by the exercise of a sound judicial discretion."
I have quoted this paragraph at length front thecharge_
referred to, because it embodies what may be
regarded its well established law. The general public
ureances which Judge King refers ,to are such as affect
the public health and comfort. • And it is not assuming ,
too much to say that he alludes to those only which re
quire a prompt remedy—in which a delay might be_dan
gerons-to the--public, and--which - could - nor have been
averted or PreventedbY a resort to the ordinary reme
dies provided by. law.- Be lays down this rule clearly in
the paragraph cited, that it is only when a case eremite
tar, at necessities that a departure from the usual courao
of proceeding can be justified. The urgent necessity to
which Judge K ingrefers,"applying to nuisances, may be
illustrated by the case of a pestilence, such as the yellow
fever or the cholera, suddenly breaking out iu a large
city, and requiring immediate steps to be
taken for the protection of the public health. Under
such circtinistanciTa, if public nuisances were main
tained which had a direct tendency to aggravate and in
crease such epidemic, the Court might not wait for the
ordinary process of law to remedy the evils-referred to,
but would be justified, of their own motion epee proper
information ,in laying the matter before the Grand Jury.
with Metro - Mims to inquire into the facts. and to make
such presentment as such inquiry might warrant. There
is no question as to our power in such and kindred cases
to take such action. But it is an extraordinary power;
and should only be used on extraordinary occasions. No
eolith unity would lung tolerate its frequent, unneces
sary and indiscriminate use.
W hile ft would be manifestly improper to express any
opinion now upon the facts now set forth in this memo
rial it is nevertheless apparent that the evils com
plained of are not entirely of recent origin. They are
the growth of time, and during all the period referred
to. co far as it appears to the Court, no effort has been
made to check them. In view of the fact that ever - • -
erman D ce ci y o pna Juno ictionof
the offences charged,itWOuld seem that there has been a
long delay,or acquiescence in the alleged evils, and there
does not appear to be that " urgent necessity" which
Judea King refers to as the justification for the exercise
of Unusual power by the Court.

these remedies, or sumenf them, have been invoked,
,rd—The Court in the exercise of this power in the
exceptional cases , above stated will direct it against
offences rather than against individuals or corpora
tions. It is for the Grand .Tory, after inquiry, to make
presentment of the individuals or corporations con

offence; whereupon it may become the duty of the NH
triet-Attorney, as the public prosecutor, to send up bills
of indictMent against either individuals or corporations.
Let these petitioners resort to their legal remedies.
If these fail, and a great public nuisance exists, se
riously affecting the public interests, this Court of its

not the acts of tidy or that company, or of any individ

-..Shipments, etc.
All the collieries outside of the 'suspended
regions have been working to their full ca
pacity during the past weep, and, notwitti-•
wending the demand for coal' has fallen- off
considerably, no .very perceptible diminutiosy -
in the amount shipped to market is observed.
The dullness is attributed to severafcausea l ther
principal of which is the fear of work being'
resumed in the suspended regions,- mblefr,
from present appearances, is ill-founded and
premature, as the difference between the
operators and men seems no nearersettlement•
than when we last wrote.-The present difilness.
may be looked on as merely teMporary, as it
is not caused by an overstocked market,.
dealers only buying that which is actually
needed
for present use.
The folly of holding off has been demonstra
ted for the past few years as when all, believ
ing prices had reached theirlo westpoint r eamer---
-in with their orders, causing a, demand inade-...
quail: to the supply, and, as a consequence,
coal advanced to prices far beyond' their ex
pectations and desires. . In proof of this, On '
looking at the prices brought , for coal at the'
differentseasonsofAheryears-of-1868-and-186f4.--
we see that in the early months the markee
vrat4 dull. This was caused by holding off in.
anticipation of a further decline ; and in the - --
latter months the extra demand' caused- coal'
to advance, as the following will show: Price
for stove coal delivered at Mauch Chunk. mu
the month of March,lB6B, by the Coal Ex
change was $3 25 per ton, while in Septernber -
of the same year the rate fixed for, that size
Was $6 25, the advance caused by the delay to
buy atthe proper dna e,a nd all only haying whom
it became necessary to do se,: The - showing,.
of these figures will be of practical benefit to
consumers also, who are complaining that
they never know when to buy their coal atthe::
cheapest figures.
Again in March, 1869, the price fixed for
stove coal, at the same point of delivery, was
$3 75, and for the same reason as above given.
the price advanced in November, 1869, to $5
per ton. NOW this present season stove
opened iii March at $3 75. It now remains to
be seen what it shall bring in November, and .
it is fair to presume that the price, worked on.
and influenced by the same reasons as in for
mer seasons, will be run up to a figure equal
to if not higher than that received then,
those years a general smspension, although oc
curring, did not happen at the opening of the
season, when coal was needed, as now, but
when the market waaoverstocked, having the
effect of relieving the ports of their accumu
lated stocks. The bulk of the Eastern trade
has to be done before cold weather comes on,
closing up the small creeks -leading-to their :-
factories, thus cutting them off from asupply. ,-
- Rather than that they collie pate market late
and pay any price.
The dullness is not confined. to- the whole
sale trade, but is shared by the retail dealers,
they complaining that there is nothing_doin:,
everything slack, etc. Thisc•: — :irf — nplaintdoes
not come from the dealers in one section of
the city, but in all sections.
-
The situation in the suspended region-is the
same as when last reported; as, in face of the
dullness,The operators would beloolish• - in- .
deed to - give way to - the'men. On the con
trary, should the men refuse to accept the
terms offered, and. trade continues as it is
now, it is hinted that the present offer will be
withdrawn, and a still lower basis of wages'be
agreed on by the operators and offered, the
men.
The Minces' Journal has been doing,good
service by endeavoring to enlighten the men
in the regions, and by showing up the duplici
ty of their leaders. With the thinking portiom
it has bad a good effect, as a spirit of opposi
ion-is-developiug-itsell'among-the-m-err—Th:
German element, reports have it, decidedly
are opposed to holding out against the opera
tors, but their desires and influences are un
heeded by the W. B. A., who are running the
strike. The influence ou the men of the above
paper must certainly be feared by the officers

On the other hand, the men are still defiant,
and have means to carry on their strike, large
sums of money having been sent from the
regions working. The 15th of June is the
date fixed on by some as the time when work:.
will be resumed.
The dilli culties anticipated in one of the dis—
tricts of the Lehigh region from the refusal.to.
comply with the demand of the men last week
have not as yet developed, and are now looked
on as having only been made to try the
operators.
Monday last was (Decoratfon day) observed'
as a holiday, and work almost generally sus
pended.
New York reports are that no coal is ac
cumulating at the ports, that trade is quiet,
and that a brisk business is expected to be'
done in July.
There was transported over both railroads
and the canal last week 118,522 14 tons against
119,379 01 tons the week before, being a de-,
crease of 856.07 tons.

The Story Confirmed—The AssoClatedr

The New York Herald, a member of the

of the American Press Association :
" Telegrams received by prominent Israel

mania. These outrages have been continued
for several months, with the knowledge if
not connivance of the Prince of Roumania,
whose attention was several times called to
the condition of his Jewish subjects by other
European powers. As Mr. Sprit gee remarked
in the Senate, the people of Roumania
are generally bigoted, ignorant, idle
and poverty-stricken, while the Jews
are frugal and industrious, and
rapidly amassing property and wealth. This
prosperity of the Jews excited the envy of tho
Christians, and among such religious bigots it
only needed the merest countenance of their
rulers to cause them to rise upon the innocent
objects of their fanatical hatred. These out- .
rages . are a disgrace to the ago, and. must
cause the cheek of every Christian to tingle
with shame. European Powers have already
entered protests against their continuance,
and, as the attentron-otour—own-govern
meat has been directed to the subject:
it is to be hoped that President Grant will not
fail to interpose the influence of the United
States to prevent a recurrence of these horrible
