'The Board of Guardians.
- -
Among - the atantes whicbthave grown up in
our munleiPtkievernmerk none are more
glaring and disgraceful tbast. those which re
latel tritlfe ininnanagement'of the Almshouse.

are debauchery, gormandising, and a misap
plication of the public panda to their - own in
dividual purposes, to centrol, the affairs of the
great refuge which the city provides for its
helpless victims of poverty and destitution, is
a calamity which should make every well-
Meaning and-respectable citizen shudder ; yet;
for all practical purposes, this has been, to a
greater or less extent, the lamentable position
of Philadelphia for a series of years. It has
become understood that - the Almshouse opens
to its Guardian's opPortanitles for plunder, for
lax:intone living, and for the indulgence of the
baser appetiten of huniataity.. Renee, the po
sition in eagerly sought, year after year, by
men - who desire 'each gratilientions,. while
these calculated to discharge the duties of the
office honestly, and in a pure, benevolent spi
rit, are generally unwilling to engage in the In
trigues of 'fraudulent primary elections for the
sake - of Obtaining the office.' By this process the
city has had ' a long series of, disreputable
'Guardians thrust upon her; associated some
times with a few high-minded 'and respectable
men', asacrowning disgrace, the present
Board carne into existence, and attained such
a bad eminence that our citizens have become
utterly disgusted, and demand, by an almost
unanimous voice, that .our rulers at' Minis
burg should abolish it. Some time since a
bill to effect that object was introduced into
the Senate bAlr.'l4.npar.r., and, after &amis.
sion, was adopted by a unanimous vote: When
it went to the House it Was for several weeks,
retained.by the committee to Which it was re
ferred. The Guardians and their friends • ap
pear to ,have been busy; strong influences
were brought to bear upen the Legislature .to
prolong their, official career, and to perpetuate
the system which makes the Almshouse a con-
Stant' scene' for f dlehonest and 'disgraceful ex.
hibitions. When t finally, the pressure of pub
lic; sentiment was felt,' and the question came
before the Route, members talked gravely and
earnestly of the impropriety of taking the
power of electing Guardians from the • peo
ple, and placing the right to appoint them
in other' hands ; but all who are familiar
with the subject know 'perfectly well
that the great body of our citizens
havty no desire to vote for these officers, and
that, - completely 'disgusted by the- failure of
the present systom, they would be rejoiced if
a new plan, substantially such a one as has
been suggested, were adopted: The success
of the experiment of changing the method
by which prison inspectors were selected
serves to folly confirm the anticipations now
entertained of a law providing for the appoint
ment of a Board of. Guardians. But, with the
perverse Ingenuity which characterizes mo
dern legislation, a plan has been devised, by
Which It seems to be hoped that, notwith
standing the wishes Of
,o.nr people on this sub
ject and , notwithstanding the avowals by our
Representatives of a readiness to comply with
them, the existing law will remain unchanged,
and the present board be allowed to revel,
unchecked, for its fall term, in its iniquities.
The• original bill, with a view to remove this
whole question as' far as possible from the in
fluences of mere partisanship, provided that
the Supreme Court should name three of the
members of the board—a provision that ap
pears to us a proper and just one. But before
the Rouse adopted the bill, it insisted upon
striking out this provision, and when the bill
went back to the Senate, that body refused to
concur In the amendment. Thus the - matter
stands at present.
The chief interest of the public in this
question, is to secure the abolition of the pre
sent Board of Guardians, and the adoption of
some measure by which more reliable and
faithful officers will be appointed hereafter.
The amendment in itself is of minor import
tome. We should be better satisfied with the
bill without the amendment of the House;
but, in some' shape or other, the bill should
be adopted; and if this Legislature, through
any mere trick or, device, adjourns without
abolishing the board, the Representatives of
this city will incur deep and bath* censure :
freMtheir constituents. We are not fully able
to judge litho is most to blame , in the matter;
bat:our 'Representatives ,hnew very , well that

higli time it ceased to boa constant theme
for scandal ; and their constituents have
a right to demand that no trifling political
chicanery or pettifogging management shall be
allowed to thwart their cherished wishes.

The Postmaster General died this morning about
nine o'clock, at his reeldence on F street, above

her daughter, and dies very'wealthy. Governor
Brown occupied many publie positions, and person
ally was a most excellent man. There is already
quite a canyareing for the valiancy in the Cabi
net; indeed, it has been going on for several
days, expeotation of his death. We have
named Mr. Speaker Orr (as he dbes not intend to
be a candidate for reelection) ; 'also Mr. Else, of
Kentucky, Governor Harris, of TWIDEISFO, and Sam
Houston, of Texas, (who bas-peCuliarolalme, hay-

known to be very feeble, (so feeble, indeed, as to be
unable to perform• the 'important duties' of his

When Mr. Buchanan organized his Cabinet, some

by men elected by themselves, the prospects of
Mr. Seward as the Republican candidate for the
Presidency have greatly brightened. Ills efts•
dated think that nothing Can 'prevent either bit
nomination or hie election; they would 'regard
it as coward& if he were not nominated, and
are determined that laPand no other shall be the
man. Mr. Botts and his force are, of course,
against Seward, and the came may be said of the
other Opposition leaders in the South. Mr. Chase,
of Ohio, Mr. Banks, of Massaehusette, Judge Mc ,

I saw this when Douglas was making his last great
Speech, on the 231 of February. Jefferson Davis
was never so courteous ; Mr. Senator Mason, of
Virginia, always haughty and dictatorial, Was
never (so Complacent; Mr. Green was kinder than
usual, and Gallatin Brown, of Mississ;ppl, wits the
pink of politeness—a thing never before 'expe
rienced during a contest with Northern Demo
crate fighting for the right. It served to convince
these gentlemen that if Laertes could rail at
Hamlet, Hamlet could answer back in tones of
extravagant defiance, even in the open grave.
These men find- they have trusted to a shadow ;

Good and true men in the North for not yielding
