Girard Collcge Revisited—No. I.
PHILADELPHIA AS A OITY OF INSTITUTIONS
It was one of the proprieties of fate and of nature
that William Penn landed upon the shores of the
Delaware. We cannot think of the benevolent
Quaker having settled anywhere else. Nature in
vited him here, and he overcame the Indians with a
treaty, and Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly
Love, and Pennsylvania, the Woodland of Penn,
came otit,!of the natural springs of events. This noble
origin has colored our whole civic character. The
city still remembers its founder in its cherished re
gularity, cleanliness, and elegance; its sylvan ave
nues and public groves ; its handsome and useful in
stitutions arid, altogether, in its classic and berms
scent- character. Philadelphia seems thus distin
guished above every other city in the Union. It
enshrines two - of the noblest passages in the history
of the world—the treaty with the Indians, and the
Declaration of Independence—and is a monument to
both—Of peace and war, of Christian and republican
frateriiity. With such traditions it inherits a sa
eqd privilege or commission in being benevOlent,
intelligent, and patriotic. Its hospitals, and homes,
and, schools, are numerous and time-honored—and
ho' shall wonder that the soldier is fed and re
freehed when passing ,through the city of -Indepen
dence and of Brotherly Love I Distinguished in
philaithropy, it-is-not surprising that Philadelphia
is slat eminent as an educational city. These facts,
every , n 9 appreciates, have a somewhat vague but
very sensible relation to William Penn, Benjamin
Franirlin; and Thoinas Jefferson, and, we may add,
steplieu Girard:
STEPHEN-01.1ta.hbie gIMEISA.CTION.
Byirtue of its history just such a city as Phila
delphia should have such an institution as the
Girao College for Orphans. It is a noble growth on
the old stock of charity and freedom, which had
roots in the treaty elm', and has branches in our tree
of liberty. Rightly considered it is a sublime pro
duct; of republican philanthropy, and deserves our
high veneration ; for with one exception, perhaps,
et, malt - Artie? has given the city more intrinsic and
distilciguished character. Nothing could more radi
cally and generously recognize the democratic as
welles the Christian principle than this institution,
which supporta the child of 'the poor, and educates
lihnto a life - of — useful and intelligent labor. A
gloilous fact like this must have originated among
a republican people ; its author must have been a
veryl strong and sincere democrat. Eccentric and
nolit t iry, Stephen - Girard was, nevertheless, a man of
the people.
Ile seems to have been a brave as well as a good
man ; for when the great yellow fever raged in
Phllsdelphia, he was one of the few self-sacrificing
merchants who remained in the 'city, and took care
of the sick. Much of a life that would be extremely
interesting remains a problem ; far this shrewd,
plain, just, hard-working business man was in all
respects a private citizen, as remote from society or
friendship as he was well known in his wealth. We
accept his last and great act as proof of the purposes
of bin life. Apart from the College for Orphans; he
hse claims on our regard as benefactor to the city
and State, which be otherwise endowed munificently.
lone and childless man, he was fitted to become
an invisible providence to the widow and the father
less. All these rise up to call him blessed. Along
with our free 'schools, which show the benevolent
intelligence of a community, the College for Orphans,
which is the charity of the individual, furnishes the
flnest Proofs of a free community.
THE, HEIRS
OE GIR,VED
Properly speaking, the heirs of Girard are like
hie wealth—millions. The citizens, as well as the
orphan boys of Philadelphia, are his legatees. Other
than these are what the court terms " the next of
kin," and who are now and then indifferently called
Me heirs"--some half dozen , foreieners, who claim
the right of more than half . 1 million people.
Ever since the establishment of the College, these
distant relations have maintained a war at law
against the will of their own and the peoples bene
factor. "Aniong these complainants, and certain of
the defendants, who comprehend all his heirs and
next of kin that survived him, there is not one
whom he has forgotten, nor one in whom he ever
raised an expectation that he has not more than
answered." These are the sufficient words of Horace
Binney. It is a little remarkable that the "com
plainants have been 'so well provided and so per.
'Mate* an to eustain for so many years a suit in a
certain sense doubtful, and; in another, disreputable.
Defeated a- number of times, th:ey still, kept up a
legal vendetta, busily acquiring every lawyer's de.
vice, and, it would seem; every possible moneyed
in flume& :In the odor of thiOult grew the opinion,
current among a class, that ilirard lived a miser and
died a prodigal. The lawyers sometimes hinted that
he was mean; if not mean, his sanity was ques.
Atoned ; and if not out of his mind, then possibly he
might be an infidel.
The case was again decided in favor of the city,
lately; before the Supreme' Court ; but we cannot,
therefore, presume that the distant and disinterested
relativerlof the benefactor have surrendered their
ambition. The public will remember, in this con
nectionois a curiosity,the statement, made in many
respectable papers, that the snit in question 'vac a
large stoop concern; in which numerous politicians
and rich men of_the State held a moneyed interest.
Just at this time, running a conspiracy against hu
manity need not surprise, when politicians also spe
culate upon their country's ruin.
RATHER GERARD AND HIS CHILDREN.
. Thus nada the good man's good will to orphan
boys : "And whereas, I have been for along time im
pressed with the importance of educating the poor and
of placing them, by the early cultivation - of their
minds and the development of their moral prism',
pies, above the, many temptations to which, through
poverty and ignorance, they are exposed ; and I am
particularly desirous to provide for such a number
of poor - male white orphan children as can be
trained in one institution a better education as well
as a-more comfortable maintenance than they usu.
ally receive from the application of the public funds,
&c." He gives the institution a highly respectable
name—it is not an Asylum or a Home, but a Col
lege for Orphans. He provides for them as he might
provide for his own children. Mathematics, navi
gation, astronomy, natural, chemical, and experi
mental philosophy, and the French and Spanish len
guagea are named among the studies. Between the
ages of fourteen and eighteen the pupils shall be
bound out to suitable occupations of art, navigation,
trade, or manufacture. He particularly enjoined
that no ecclesiastic, minister, or missionary should
be allowed in the institution, and the reason is ob
vious as the provision wine. But he required the
teaching of the purest moral principles, so that from
inclination and habit his adopted children might, in
manhood, evince benevolence towards their fellow
men. In all respects he made their conditon honor
able. He could-not provide better. They became
his true heirs and prottgts.
En=
The grounds of the institution comprise forty
acres, which more than a score of years ago be.
longed to Peel's Hall.or Farm, and were very slight
ly-valued, for Girard bought them at an ineiguiti•
cant price. A parallelogram of walls surrounds
these forty acres, *Eve large buildings, together with
the infirmary and steward's house, and the- great
classic temple of the college itself. Why each a
monument of architecture was built for the homely
purpose of edueating orphan children has puzzled
Worldly men. It wad not Girard's design, howso
ever a margin might have been found for architec
tural ambition and expense. Nevertheless, Girard
intended a noble and dignified work, albeit for a
homely purpose—and here the great fact stands, a.
pride of the city and 'the continent. Councils and
legislators do not assemble beneath,a.roof so grand,
and even the Senators of the nation are hardly more
honored, in this respect, than the little boy of seven
or eight, who toddles along, the portico, repeats his
lessons in school, and goes to prayers in the chapel.
This, possibly, has mortified the unbenign, who
have not simply considered fie lilies how they
grow, and the children of whom is the kingdom of
heaven, let alone the college for orphans. So Gi
rard made his children a good home, and a temple,
worthy of Greece or Rome, which is just as well,
perhaps, in pure truth, for the young orphan student
as the solemn academician. Benevolence deserves
its monument, though Girard was guiltless of the
ostentation ; and this monument to democracy and
philanthropy, which in some respects seems out of
place, preponderates for good. It is a massive
guarantee for a noble project, a great evidence of
respect for the poor, and in return the orphan's
gratitude is mingled with honest pride.
„ The monument to- education has also become the
mausoleum of the benefactor. The city disinterred
his remains. from the old Catholic Trinity church•
yard, and in a procession of the Free Masons and
the orphan students, bore them to the tomb in the
vestibule of the great building, behind the statue of
the founder. This statue is by Gevelot, an unfortu
nate Frenchman, and is among the best works of art
in America. Girard looks down, as if in life, from
his pedestal at the boys who pass him by on the way
to chapel and school, The artist has perpetuated
the true moment ; a peaceable, worldly-wise man in
- an old fashioned ,tradesman's coat, half-like a be
nevolent miller--homely, venerable, and kind. On
the twentptirst day of May, when- Stephen Girard
was bout, the old man is celebrated by the boys,
and the statue is covered with flowers. A small
new-corner was once introduced to this pater families
by a senior school-fellow with the remark, "There's
Uncle Stevey.”
The old graduatea remember the beginning years
of the college—years of novelty, when the that
youngsters revelled in their brand newhome. Their
good old friend, Mr. Joel Jones, a learned and a
pious man, and once Mayor of the city, was Presi
dent ; and it is remembered how well he led off the
hymns in chapel, Those were good years, and very
characteristic boys. Some few • who could not bear
being kept from home, scaled the walls, and ran
home to their mothers, who coaxed them back
again. One frantic boy, locked up in a fourth story
for repeated desertion, got out of the window,
climbed shown the spout, and broke away again..
After this daring feat the venturous youngster was
dismissed:. The college system was as kind as posit.
ble, but in the first days of the school all were new
comers in a new life, and necessarily many boys
were homesick and disconsolate. As they grew
older the school-fellows formed an interest, cha
racter and bond. The college booame a large family,
and "a small town, and the "college boys " were an
individual °lass. Girard's schoolboy; compared to
the city schoolboy, was a sturdy_ and learned little
villager to a Smart, small townsman,
In the iltst five =yepre of Alleles presiAenoy th
college rapidly formed into established system. The
older (deems grew to be rot ust boys, whose charac
ter may be judged from their life on the playground.
There Were huge games of shintney and football,
and the great feud of the "Orsini" and " Cretonne,"
in which the whole ground engaged, with mock cony
bate between the rival parties, a rush together pell
mell, raids and foray; from the buts or tents which
were headquarters, and now and then a less roman
tic Bet fight. One winter two large snow forte were
built, and a great snow-brittle took place, in which
some two hundred participated, sixty of the larger
boys, who .formed the first aectlon, or Section A,
(this was the style of divition out of- school,) stood
the rest of the sections, which lettered down to F or
G. A brilliant fight occurred for the possession of
the "Carpenter.shop," on the hill, which Profensor
Bache, the nominal first president of the' college,
once used as an observatory. This gallant section
drove the enemy clear out of the play-ground, and
were driven back again, but in the end gained the
victory. In those days wan held an odd sort of
tournament, the boys making horses of each other.
During political campaigns stump-speeches were
made. Once . a trial by jury was held, and an ob
noxious fat boy condemned; for wantonly killing a
fly, to be hung up by his suspenders.
This was the chivalrous middle age of the col
lege. Blood-and-thunder novels of Cobb and Ingra-
ham (of which one , hundred were confiscated on a
certain occasion) were a current literature. Adven
tures in the great college cellar, or "up In the
arches," with the prefect after him, secret bande of
young outlaws to make raids upon the lcitehen for
mischief's sake, were a part of the history of the
scripegiace. A theatre in "Number Two" (the
buildings so called) opened under the auspices of an
enterprising manager and a company of various
talents. The wardrobe, appointments, and scenery
were indercribable, and the performances unique.
Small boyn of that period remember that "The
Carpenter of Rouen " was distractingly heroic, an d
that one cent was charged for admission, which, on
being raised to' two, caused a few bankruptcies,
and made the theatre unpopular.
The boys of sections A and B were miscellaneous.
ly seventeen, sixteen, • fifteen, and fourteen years
old, taking cast' according to..echolarship. The
first section constituted the rmincipal department in'
school, or what is now known in the sixth form,
whose studies are somewhat 001/egiate, This sec
tion were leaders in everything, and boasted many
excellent students, good draughtsmen and arithme..
Leisure, clever young writers and chemiets. A
mania for novel-writing-produced a number of ab
surd romance; hardly inferior to the " levy yellow
covers," at two cents a-piece, sold among the
juniors. Circulating libraries of ecrap-books were
in fashion. A few diaries, kept in awful secrecy,
chronicled very curious events and opinion; chiefly
droll criticisms of the president and professors.
Inventing a few names, here are various styles
June S --Punch Pierce got a whacking today
from Paddy Minton, [the teacher]; 36 cuts rattan,
and stood it brave. 'Professor is going to take us
out to-morrow. That -is jolly. I- am very fond of
botany, and like nutting expeditions."
This was a specimen of the grub schoolboy of
about 12. The elders were a trifle more 0151301 C and
experienced, but the inevitable nick-name marked
everything. "Holmes, Blake,_ and I were chased
up in the arches by Dad , So-and so," or an
abscondment was projected - in intelligent and
deliberate terms. This generally was getting
over the walls for a few hours, and coming
back without being caught. A few oases of
abscondment' were more serious. Boys with et
passion for adventure gained from reading stories of
travel - and voyage, went off tor weeks, and of course
were punished, if not always dismissed.
Among other traditions is the story of two mad.
caps who tookn raft out on the pond and made a fire
on it, It is asserted to this day that they were
reported to the President as having set the pond on
fire.
Boys' nicknames are droll the world over• "Pud,"
which denotes a fat person; "Dad,' for the vener
able; "Bully," for the brave ; "Yankee," for the
smart, and many more quotable nicknames to be
honored rather "in the, breacili than in the obser
vance," are among the titular curiosities of Ameri
can boyhood.
Here is another scrap of diary, and a piece of jour
nalism :
" October 23.—T0-day there was! a big ilght:on the
play•ground between Allen Farmer and Joe Dick
inson, behind the carpenter-shop. Bully Smith was
Joe's backer, and big Bill H—, the bully of the
play-ground, stood for Al. Al got whipped, because
lie was too little, but old Finch pitched in and gave
Dickinson a bad nob°, and Smith and Bill came near
having a fight over it, though I think Smith's
afraid. It's a shame that little fellows are tyran
nized over. These are my sentiments."
This was the romance of chubby fourteen. The
following is in another time and humor:
"Sunday was very dry. Oh, how stupid! Old
Brother = came out and preached a sermon six
miles long and fifty cord of talk. He began at the
beginning, and then commenced at the end and.went
back, and thenforward; and then back again. Lazy
Boone and Oharley Sheppard had to stand up for
going to sleeP. I like the little missionary a great
dial better, who works himself up and nearly gets
to crying in trying to convert the boys. He does
not preach a long sermon, and that is more like Gos•
psi than the other."
A journal, written upon a school•boy's inspira
tion of the "Spectator" and " Tattler," has an ode
in satiric doggerel to some one in authority ; a de
seription of a fine day in autumn, and the reminis
cence of a college-boy'sfuneral ; account of a hots
nixing excursion under• the professor, with the vari
ously latinized names of favorite plants, from ensis
to ifennn, all in Dr. Darlington's Chester•county bo
tany. The professor was deservedly panegyrized;
and in the whole great school not one would have
said nay; far as therewas but one such college for
orphans, there was only one such professor. Ne
vertheless, there were other able and conscientious
gentlemen, ladies else, (who are always bet
ter teachers than men,) firm, sensible, good,
and gentle, and of a class in whom the
college and the community is still fortunate ; a care
ful, systematic matron whose kindness to those of
her household did not cease when they left it ; and,
of least, , a president whose mind and shares ter were
proper to his position as chief of the institution.
Only a little has been told of those exceptional
things whichmake up a chronicle and a story. The
chemical mania,.when every grown boy was an al
chemist and every desk a laboratory, and what,
with the inspiration of the immortal Blitz, result
ed, among other things, in a great nuisance to the
section room, and a very clever necromantic exhibi
tion by one of the boys, this deserves memory.
To clown all; in one unsettled interim of the in
there was a rebellion (every school
has a_ rebellion of some kind,) which, taking
offence.at bad , officers, broke in windows, and rung
'Die college - ben at midnight, and for a day or • two
was a miserable little French Revolution, which,
though it did some mischief, did some good.
This was "The Radge" in the old days. Little
barbarians outside the walls, and little civilians who
came inside, sometimes called the college of Girard,
Girady:e college ; and so , the school-boy dubbed his
school "-The Radge."
Back Pay.
To tare Editor of The Press:
Sax: As I notice that the subject ofbounties, pay,
ko., of the State militia, is exciting some comment
in the public prints, I beg to call attention to the
following: During the famous Stuart's raid last
year, when the militia so promptly responded to the
call of the Governor, the Reserve Brigade of Phila.
deiphia played quite a prominent part in the "grand.
uprising of the people." The Ist Regiment, as is
well known, was held in reserve at Antietam, and
contributed not a little to the great end, by filling
the places of older troops in that memorable battle.
The 3d Regiment, by order of the Secretary of War,
was sent to Brandywine, Delaware, to guard the
Government powder mills of the Messrs. Dupont.
The service was of a severe character. As a mem
ber of the organization, I can attest to this. If
tiresome marches, midnight scouting, and lonely
picketing constitute "militia hardships," we Cr.
rived at the stonmsent bonnie. And now, Mr. Editor,
what we wish to call attention to is, that although
we were out three weeks, the regiment has never
received one cent of pay, nor have the necessary
pendittres of the men for their outfits, ,kc., been de
frayed. Patriotically yours,
GRAY RESERVE.

.TAY SPRECIr
Colonel Lamar, in reply, thanked the chairman
for his remarks, and toe company for the cordial re..
caption of his name. Their generous and cordial in. fI
eeption touched his heart and elicited his most sin
cere gratitude. The enthusiasm welch - had been
manifested was the more gratifying to him that it
was manifested at a farmer's dinner. He belonged
to a country which was a nation of farmers [cheers], I
not, as they had been told, a country of indolent,
wealthy, and dissolute planters, of poor white trash
and d , graded slaves. It was not that, but a coun
try of independent, intelligent freemen, of the eight
millions of whom two-thirds earned their subsist
ence by the Sweat of their brow, nearly one half of
them owning the land they aultivated, and nearly
all of them seeing in each up-turned sod of heir fal
low ground that which was more precious to them
than the gold of California—the sparkle of inde
pendence and of personal liberty. [Cheers.] Many
of the qualities which that people had exhibited du
ring the last two years, and which had been so kind
ly alluded to, were, in his opinion, due to the fact
that they were a nation of farmers. Be believed,
without disparaging other pursuits, that from the
culture of the Soil, the • drawing of sustenance Irvin
the bosom of mother. earth, they derived a certain
moral nutriment, a certain richness of sentiment, of
capacity for self devotion and sacrifice, which kept
the heart fresh and pure, and made the nature of
men simple and unaffected. [Cheers.] <lt had been
represented to England that the great conflict, the
bloody war which has been waged, and was stilt
being waged, against the people of the South by the
Government of the North, was a war on behalf of
civil liberty and of constitution al government against
r. band of l awls es conapiratorn, who sought to tram-.
ple down those liberties and to overthrow the august
structure or that Constitution. [Hear, hear.] Eor
tunately for the South, in coming before the British
peeple, they came before a tribunal fully competent
to consider the question. He congratulated English
men on their practical knowledge of civil liberty.
[Hear, hear.] They had it in substance ; they knew
it by certain broad, practical facts, and they could
not be misled by subtle refinements or fanciful
theories. When Englishmen were told of civil liber
ties they immediately thought of certain great his
torical guarantees for that liberty—the right of
habeas corpus,
of trial by jury, the supremacy of the
law, the subordination of the military to the civil
power. Those things constituted to an Englishman
the true indications of civil liberty—[bear]—and
their history taught them that whenever a despot or
a tyrant under any disguise sought to destroy the
liberties of the people, he commenced by attacking
those great guarantees of civil liberty. [Hear,
belie] Let them test the contest in Amerioa in
that manner, and let them Bay which party was eon
tending for civil liberty and constitutional govern
ment.' [Cheers ] Let them look at the Northern
States. - Did they see any of the great bulwarks of
English liberty existing there? [Creers:] His friend
the chairman had spoken of his sympathy with do wn
trodden and oppressed nationalties. He thanked
his friend for his kindness and hospitality to South
erners. They were a people, but they were not down
trodden, nor oppressed, and by the God they never
would be. [Cheers.] Liberty might sometimes be
crushed under the armed heel of the despot ; but in
the Southern country, whence he came, could be
seen old men and young standing up side by side for
their country, their bayonets glistening in the sun,
unstained by aught nave the blood of their enemies.
But it was well to recollect that the South, abused,
bleeding, her life blood draining away, was fighting
not alone for her own liberties, but also for the liber.
ties of that people who were sending armed millions
to subjugate and to crush her. More than that, the
South was struggling for freedom everywhere, and
was seeking to rid the world of one of the most in
tolerable, aggressive, overbearing Powers that ever
disturbed the repose of Europe, or menaced the
peace of civilization [hear, hear]-91 Power which
stood as the embodiment of the sovereignty of brute
force, which, if it succeeded in its designs, would be
a fireship among nations, and which even now, in
anticipation of its triumph, laughed to scorn the
faith of treaties, the obligations of humanity, and
the laws of civilized warfare. [Cheers.] It has
been said by those whose interest it was to miarep
resent the South, that although she might be en
gaged in defending her own independence, yet her
great object was to perpetuate the degradation of
another race which she had enalaved. [Hear, hear.]
Ile did not wish to commend any of the social insti
tutions of the South to Englishmen, and he did not
standtbere to defend any of those institutions. But
although those opinions might be formed, and pro.
I nounced as to some of those institutions, he believed
they were yet too fair not to hear the truth, and the
truth had not been told to England upon that sub
ject. [Hear.] With a full and distinct understand
ing of the diversity of opinion that existed between
his hearers and himself as to some of the institu
tone to which he referred, he asserted in the face of
that company, and before the world, that the state
ments which had been made against the South were
calumnious and untrue, and that the white race in
the South had been the guardians, the protectors,
the benefactors of the black man; that they had ele
vated him in the scale of rational existence; that
they had Christianized him to a state to which he
-
had never before attained, He only desired English
men to listen, not to opinions nor to misrepresenta
tions, but to facts. When the American continent
was diecovered and occupied by the European race,
it came into contact with two savage races. One
was the noble Indian race, the ancient occupiers of
the continent, and the highest type of savage man•
hood: the other race was one brought there, not by
agency of the Southern people, but by agencies
Which he would not then discuss. It was the Afri
can race which all philosophers and historians pro
nounced to be the lowest type of natural man. It
was a race without a God, without rational ideas—
eannibals not attaining even to the civilization of
the fig-leaf. [" Hear," and a laugh:] What had
been the history of the two races he had described?
The Indian race—the noble race incapable of domes
tic life, of anything but its wild and' nomadic ex
istence—had been driven back to continually nar
rowing circles, with constantly diminishing means
of subsistence, and were in danger of ceimplete ex
tiection before the advancing wave of civitizetion.
But the other race, the negro, with all its foulness
and barbarity, being naturally a servile race, had
become domesticated, and in spite of the institution
of slavery, if they pleased, ,but still with slavery,
had risen higher and higher in the rational scale,
until now it furnished heroes and heroines for
modern romances, poems for modern songs . , while
some had been deemed by statesmen fitted to enter
within the charmed relate of social and political
equality. [Hear, hear.] An institution that has done
co much for that race must be considered carefully.
He might be told tbat, heving brought the negro
up to the point of civilization, the South owed
it to Christendom to emancipate them. Meer,
hear.] In answer, he would refer to the opinions
of British statesmen, British travellers and philoso
phers, who were united in the opinion that the
emancipation of that race at the time, and especial
ly in the mode pointed out by those in the North,
who were so enamored of constitutional. govern
ment, would lead to an appalling crisis. for both
races. [Hear.] But, whether that were eo.or not, he
could safely say that if that race had risen to the rank
of Christian and fellow-men, and if the time should
ever co me for them to believe that liberty would be
a boon and not a curse, then the Smut's would be
prepared to confer that boon upon them. [Cheers.]
If that time should ever come they would be capable
of asserting their own claims, and the whites could
not if they, would withhold the boon, [Hear, hear.]
Misrepresentation had been constantly made to the
English people upon the subject, and it had been
said that In the South the negro was treated only as
property, and that he bad no legal rights. But that
Was not true. The laws of every sovereign State
awarded the penalty of death for the murder of a
elave, and imprisonment in the penitentiary was the
punishment for maiming. [Hese, and "time."]

i Shocking Picture of City Justice.
eferring to the nominations of Judge Medan
G arvin, and others, the Hon. .Tames T. Brady
startled his hearers at the Cooper Institute on Fri
day evening. He said :
" I have heard of one man, and if I mentioned by
u hat title he is known, I think you would recognize
him, and he says, I must-have a judge of the Superior
Court, a judge of the Common Plea s; and a judge of the
Supreme Court . : I! Gentlemen, thirds fearful. That
one man, depraved, wicked, vile, escaped the State Pri
son, [applause], which other felons reach, by being
strong enough, or rich enough, to purchase and cor
rupt, or to break through the meshes of the law. It
is fearful that any man, even if he were as pure ac the
reputation of your mother, should be permitted by a
,groveling, enslaved,. blind, stolid people to declare
that he must own a judge.
" Why, gentlemen, let me tell you, as one who be
gan the profession of the law at twenty one years of
age, such a change has occurred in the administra
tion of justice In this city that, when a man walks
into my (Alice with a bundle of papers and says to
me, XL Brady, here is an injunction granted to
puvent my carrying on my regular business,' and,
in one of the very last cases that I tried, there was
an injunction to prevent a man from continuing to
rut as the foreman and cutter in a merchant tai
loring establishment in this city—an injunction from
a judge to prevent him from carrying on his
lawful trade for the maintenance of his fa
mily. How do you think I received those pa
pers? When I first entered the profession, I would
never have asked what judge granted it, but
I would have looked at the merits of the
case and tied to tell my client what I thought.
But, gentlemen. the questiOn, before even looking
at one word written upon that paper, was What
judge granted this injunction V What judge is to
hear this ease?' And when the latter question is
e.newered, in many oases I have handed the papers
back and told my friend, I can be of no service to
you—you must employ such a man, between whom
and the judge, or judge's partner, friend, agent, or
hucketer, there exists a great affection—[ereat ap.
Plause]--employ him and you will have some chance
to maintain, your rights in a court et justice,' Is
this any fancy picture? It is the language of the

To (he Editor'of The Prat:
'„aut : The manner in which the interests of the
pe,lple are being fast bound up with the interests of
the ,government, CO as to make an identity thereof,
was ilinstrated on a grand ecale last Saturday. The
baekin t y.house of Jay Cooke & Co., of this city, wax
the theatre of wonderful activity. The rms.
TIVEItiTIKS" revelled in the pomp of a magnificent
ovation, an d utterly cast into the shade their feeble
antics of the'provious days. Such a financial dash
and glitter as the day's transactions embodied ex
ceeded, perhap.r, in magnitude and colossal propor
tk ,, na, an ythi n g of the kind the world has ever seen.
-what I s aw anal what t heard let me hers indite.
The first sign of L+iness was the arrival of a huge
mall, with letters = enough tb supply one of the
smaller European .ZiegdOme. Hew many there
were Z will not say, 'for the simple reason that I do
r.ot'lrnow. These letters contained remitttraces for
bonds, of small and large? amounts, from all parts of
the country (outside of ahe Davis dominions)—from
Portland and Boston, 'on sone hand, to St. P . aul,
Louis, and Louisville, on the' other. Refore these
were disposed of by the Saul of the clerical bores,
the little army of clerks hae-dropped in one by one,
and each . b - csied himself in preparation for the day's
turmoil and conflict. It 5.:17.13 began: At nine
o'clock bzisknesa and activity were apparent on
every hand: The people were there, thick rated& to
a molasses hogshead. They had came together honey,
as well as to deposit their sweat in firroin'ShaVer
honeycomb. Bonds ! bonds ! bonds ! These Tule&
the hour ; these constituted the magnet of ottraio
tion, drawing the people in and the greenbaclof oat ;
these were cementing the citizens to their GovSra
ment with a 'power and durability of cohesion that
challenged the practical application of Spauldlngos
glue, with all its boasted virtues ;.- these "were
cleating that manifestation of popular confident* in
the Government which did the warm hearrof forst.
ty good to behold and contemplate.
All day long that line of citizen soldiery, con
stantly forming in the rear as it melted awdy
front, marched up single file to do the nation service.
It was a sight well worth witnessing. It vratdd
interesting to know the exact number of persons
wh o thus came, paid their sash, received their bonds,:
and departed in peace. Perhaps the number would
hare sufficed to send a Representative to Congress,
or to form the basis of a Territorial organization. I
shall not attempt to make a sober estimate, how
ever, lest I should bring down a shower of doubts
from the incredulous.
Whilst this caravan was moving with slow and
patient tread toward the live-twenty Mecca, in the
coupon department, another stream. of smaller v 0
lume, diverged into the- room for registered bonds.
It was evident that these were less popular than the
others, and were sought by those who preferred se
curity to convenience.
Meanwhile, amid the ponderous mass of work al
ready on the carpet, another portly mail made its
appearance. Before this could be put into proper
shape, and the necessary distribution made of the
remittances, a third batch of letters arrived, all
tending to show how the children were crying for
bread throughout the land. An idea may be formed
of the number of checks received from the fact that
it took one gentleman an hour and a half to endorse
them.
At two o'clock the crowd began to show some
signs of diminution, and, at three, the number might
easily have been counted. It is needless to say that,
at this hour, the bevy of clerks were immersed fa
the agony of a settlement of the cash, and the te
dious labor of getting up the deposit. -
Who does not know the trials, the perplexities,
the efforts of memory, the severe toil of the brain,
the provoking mystery that defies revealment, which
the cash settlement involves? Patiently, patiently,
the worker works, sacrificing moment after moment
on the altar of tome difference which persists is
keeping its own secret. Whilst the chips and
trophies of the battle are being gathered up the
telegraphic orders begin to pour in. 9.t int. r v a i a
throughout the day these fell like occasional snow
flakes, premonitory of the approaching storm. They
did not emote multiplying their number till long
after the evening shades began to prevail. The
largest order by telegraph was from Livermore,
Clews, & Co., of New York, for two millions and a
Boston, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Chicago, end
other places, sent their liberal offerings to this finan
cial shrine.
All in 811 3 it was a great day. The subecriptions
of Thursday footed up five and a half:millions. Ols.
Friday they reached the marvellous sum of six and
a half millions. On Saturday the frog swelled t•
the dimensions of the ox, and the figures stood ex
actly thus, without the aid of a magnifyer : Sixteex
millionsfive hundred and thirty-six thousand sin hundral
and fifty. Whew ! Prodigious, astounding, \units.-
ralleled r Is not that a numerical monster, to bet -

Here let me drop the curtain, and leave the merry
clerks to the =disturbed enjoyment of their . beau

Monument to General N. Lyon.
To !he Edilor of The Press.
Sra : It appears to be a suitable time to advocate
'the erection of a monument to the memory of Gene
ral N. Lyon, who fell fighting gloriously for the pre- •
servation of the Government of the United States.
It is but justice to his services to bet him up as an
example to the present and futurelenerations. He
lived, fought, bled, and died for his country, and left
his entire fortune for the support of Unioa and
liberty. In this hour of our country's need she re
quires the willing aid of noble, self-sacrificing pa- -
triots, such as lie proved, and nothing should be left
• unaccomplished to honor his memory, or inspire 11
desire to emulate his distinguishing traits of cha
racter.
It were well if good and loyal men would show
their appreciation of his motives and deeds by rais
ing a sum of money _sufficiently large to meet the
expense of a handsome monument in the form of a
temple of liberty containing a full-size statue. The
plan is easy. Create a national society at Washing
ton, under the management of the Cabinet, with
State branches, and when the monument is ready
for inauguration at Washington, let a request be
made by the national society for the President to
proclaim a general holiday, that all sincere lovers of
free institutions may have an opportunity to show
their admiration of liberty and its supporters by
offering &fitting tribute of respect to the brave so&
Bier, the noble patriot, and self-sacrificing citizen,
General I✓. Lyon. And thus will traitors, Copper
heads, and the timid, be put to open shame for
daring to oppose the Government ordained of Gat
and established by our honored ancestors.
[lt would be too much to impose upon the Cabinet
the superintendence of this labor, but our comes.
pendent's suggestion will tied wide approval. Gee.
Lyon's memory should be honored, and the time wiX
come when he, with all the brave leaders and soldiers
who have fallen, and are yet to fall, in this strife
will have a monument, which will be to America
what Westminster Abbey is to England. But now
our energies should be given to the war. After the
victory is the laurel.—En. PRESS.]

A lionatrzu Aos'Ain.—We take the following
account of a most horrible affair from the Cleveland
pail:dee/en It says : " Three weeks ago a young
man named George Beaver, about twenty years of
age, stole $3OO from his employer, a merchant of
Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, and decamped. Beaver
arrived in this city last week, and remained here
a short time, when he proceeded to Norwalk, in
which place he had a few friends. A day or two.
since he called upon a young lady acquaintance,
and requested a private interview, which was
granted. He then told her that hawse on the point
of killing himself, at the same time producing a re
volver. The lady seized his arm and tried to get
the weapon from him. During the struggle Beaver
exclaimed : Stand aside; or my brains will be spat
tered over your person l' The lady then did as de
sired, when the wretch placed the muzzle against
his forehead, and blew the top of his head complete
ly off.
"Upon the person of the deceased was found
eighty cents in money and a pawn ticket for a gold
watch, from which he parted while In Cincinnati
not long since. In answer to a telegram describing
he sad affair, Beaver's parents—wao are poor peo
ple and reside at Fond du Lac—direeted that his re-
mains should be buried at Norwalk."
Is SLAVERY A DIVINE INSTITUTION 7—The name
of the slaveholders, barbarities is "Legion." A re
cent number of the New Orlemma Era describes DORM
instruments of torture which were discovered by
Colonel Henke in the course of his investigations
among the plantations. First among these was one
found upon the neck of a young woman, where it had
been placed for life by order of her owner. It was
RD iron collar, made to lit the neck, fastened by a
screw, with three upright prongs about eighteen
inches in length, to each of which was attached es
1 mall bell. The " beauty" of this instrument WAS
that the wearer could never rest her head upon thee
ground, and the bells kept her awake by their COn.
iinual tinkling. The next instrument was a heavy
iron collar with a gag attached, the gag coining up
from under the chin into the mouth. The next, a
piece of iron armor to be worn on the leg, causing
the wearer to limp at every step, and effectually pre
venting his running away. The next, a ring with
an iron bar weighing sixty pounds, the man who
wore it being compelled to keep up with the other
hands in the field. In view of these foots, so welt
