RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE*
Tiie Tate Infidel Joseph Barker-
BY OBAYBBABB.
Wears not about to indite Mr. Barker 7 * obituary*
The term" late*’ if iol ended merely for bis infideU"
ty. Joseph Barker is riot dead. Ua the contrary*
minor, creditably confirmed, tells us that ha his
been “quickened unto life v —that, in short, after
having been a professed minister of the Gospel, a
ditputer with the sects, and, by turns, A Ghampionof
nearly all of them except the Calvinists, a confirmed
infidel, and, finally, an open atheist, Joseph Barkor
has again been converted, and that he is now em>
ploying Lis massive eloquence in England uudor the
auspices of the New Connexion Methodists, from
which body, nearly twenty years ago, he was ex*
peJJed. If this man has really become a Christian,
it is, cl course, a thing not to be ridiculed, but, ra
ther, an illustration of what the grave of God can do
under seeming difficulties.
There can be but three theories respecting his
course. Either those who hold to that form of
faith which admits of a man being made a child or
God, and becoming a voluntary subject of his
Satanic majesty afterwards, are right, ot he had
never experienced repentance unto life at all, or he
has been one of theworat backsliding saints in the
history of Christendom. The Vicar or Bray was a
Catholic under the reign of Henry the Eighth, and a
Protestant under Edward the Sixth; he was a
Catholic again under Mary, and onee more became
a Protestant in the reign of Elizabeth, during all of
which hi* answer to the charge of Inconsistency Is
Bald to have been, If I ehanged my religion, lam
»ure I kept true to my priocipe, which is to live and
die the Vicar of Bray l” Still, we do not thiok that
such a motive, precisely, has prompted the ecclesias
tical somersaults of Mr. Basket. He is a natural con
troversialist; one of those oppositive spirits who, with
words for their weapons, would at any time rather
fight th&nberlght. This, added to the reproach of ha
ving been " turned outof meeting,” Accouatslnsome
measure for the Quixotic crua»ile wbiah for some
years past he hss been indiscriminately waging
against the Church. Had be coattoed himself to this
merely, his zeal might bare been excused, inasmuch
as .Luther and others have at various times found
useful employment in a similar way (the infallibility
of the Church, whether Catholic or Protestant, being
siiU a debatable question), but Mr. Barker did not
confine himself to hectoring the Church; be traduced
and ridiculed the Bible, and out-Heroded Paine
acd Voltaire in blaspheming its Divine author.
Stiil let us wish in charity that the “light from
Heaven" has atlength effectually arrested this per
secutor-of the Truth; that the malefactor has asked
in faith, u Lord, remember me when thou comest
into thy Kingdom.”
To the citizens cf Philadelphia Mr. Barker is best
known through the discussion which, under the
auspices of an infidel club known as the “ Sunday
Institute,” he held some years ago at Concert Hill
with the Rev. J. F. Berg, D. R, then of this city,
now a professor in the Reformed Dutch College at
New Brunswick. The discussion attracted the
largest succession of audiences ever gathered in Con
cert Hall; it had for its immediate subject the
Evidences of Christianity ; the clergy or the city
thronged the platform nightly; Mr. Bimey, then
editor of the Daily Rfgi&ter, was at his table on the
stage taking full notes of the debate, which ap
peared regularly in bis paper the next morning, and
made it sell, though the reports of'Mr. Barker were
the more accurate, because his notes were placed at
the disposal of the reporter, a concession, whioh Dr.
Berg declined to make.
The writer has always been impressed that the
pecuniary proceeds of that controversy was the most
satisfactory result realized by either of the dispu
tants.. if not by their hearers. It was commenced,
as many of our readers will remember, in the lec-
ture room of the old Chinese Museum, between Mr.
Baiker acd the Rev. Mr. McCalls, qow deceased,
the latter having met the arguments of the former
with i&ughablc force, mainly by quoting from Bar
ker-* own books, written when be was a Methodist
preacher. Finally, however, McCalla’s Mends in
timated to him that he was evidently not the ap
pointed David to slay this Gohah of infidelity, and,
at the urgent request ot the clergy of this city, of
various denominations, the sling was next taken
up. and used with considerable dexterity and
power, though not always in the'most amiable
temper, by Dr. Berg. The discussion was subse
quently published in pamphlet form, and may some
day be prized as a curiosity of controversial eccle
siastical literature.
Am to the fact of Mr. Barker’s “ return to hi* first
Jove,’* we have, of recent date, the authority of the
Wesleyan Times, which speaks io high terms of him
as commanding respect, even during his career as an
infldeZ, by his strict adherence to those habits of
temperance and self»respeot which characterized him
in hi» youth. We have the same authority also for
Stating that Mr. Barker has been preaching lately
among the Primitive Methodists, who have invited
him to connect himself with their body, which Mr.
#£. declines on the ground that he has received more
than ordinary kindness from Dr. Cooke, of the If ew
Connexion, to which he feels peculiarly attached, as
he states, M because he has deeply injured it, and is
therefore impelled to repair the injury.”
As already stated, Mr. Barker commenced his
public ministry in this branch of the Church. He
soon identified himself with the moral reforms of the
day, devoting much time to Temperance, War, and
Education. During his ministry in Deeds, he held a
debate with Dloyd Jones, the Socialist missionary,
Mr. B, taking the affirmative, and defending the
cause of Christianity with so much ability, that soon
afterwards the Socialists gave up the hall which
they bad rented for Sunday gatherings. Finally,
however, he fell into altercations with his
and was excluded from the ministry, an event in his
life which it seems did not materially diminish his
po; uUiity. Wemext find him a publisher of religious
trtets, the character of which rapidly degenerated
into such palpable heterodoxy that he came to be
regarded as a dangerous man. At this time Mr.
Barker became a favorite with the Quakers, though
he was never a member of their society. He next
appeared before the public as a defender of um
taiianism, visited Belfast, the stronghold of ortho
doxy, in 1847, where he lectured before immense
audiences against the doctrines of the Bi-riulty of
Christ. Original Sin, Atonement, and Endless
Punishment, alway s inviting discussion at the close
of each lecture. In the fail of the same year he
held a public discussion with the Rev. Mr. Cooke,
above referred to, at Newcaslle-on-Tyne. This,
for the time being, ended Mr. Barker’s peregrina
tion a among Christian sects. He soon after came
to America in the capacity of an Infidel lectu
rer, and was received by the Sunday Institute as
the prophet especially provided to shield it from the
contempt into which it had fallen, and if possible to
infuse into the organization fresh Satanic life. But
it was a struggle against fate. Their chosen cham
pion, the man whom they fondly believed was fully
Able, unaided, to demolish the whole army of ortho
dox Philistines in this city with an ass’s jaw, after
having been successively a Methodist, Quaker, So*
cinian, and Infidel, has left them literally with
out hope and without God in the world. If it be
true (and there is no reason to question it) that
Mr. Barker is again in the ministry of the Methodist
Church, a book detailing hit “ experience ” wiU no
doubt soon be in order. ,
SEUHXXKS AT THE CHtTBCH OX THE HEW TBBTAHEHT,
To give our readers a dearer and fuller idea of the
character and drift of the series of sermons now in
progress of delivery by T. H. Stockton, pastor of
the chureh of the New Testament, we subjoin a
brief statement of points, with an extract from one
of the sermons.
The subject} is the Mediation of Christ, in connec
tion with tbe Inspiration of the Scriptures, the text
being composed of the two passages: “ For there is
one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the
man Christ Jesus f* and “ Heaven and Earth shaft pass
away, but my words shall not pass away.”
The introduction presented the following three
points:
1. 44 There is a superhuman consistency oi the life
of ’the man Christ Jesus, 1 as recorded in the Four
Gr.rpele, with the peculiar and peerless position
proclaimed in His behalf as as the 1 one mediator
between God and men. 7
2. “This superhuman consistency neoeesirily in
volves the pre-existence of Christ, His divine attri
butes, and His personal agency in all the works of
creation, providence, and redemption.
3. “There is a superhuman correspondency of the
Gospels themselves, both with the aotnal history of
Jesus and with each other, as the reporters of thas
consistency; necessarily involving, as far as it ex
tonds, the theory of verbal inspiration.”
As an initial development, in part, of what is
meant by the superhuman consistency referred to,
-the following announcement was subsequently made.
It is seemingly new, and certainly trustworthy:
“Although the Mediator was a true man, able to
trace Bis genealogy, name by name, from Mary to
David, from David to Abraham, and from Abraham
to Adam j. and had, therefore, as good reason as it
was possible for any man to have, to identify Him
self with the generation in which He lived, with
His national ancestry, and with the whole human
race, He evidently made it a rule of Bis cOTtdud to
avoid such identification: standing aloof from His
generation, nation and race, in exclusive, personal,
official, mediatorial sanctity; acting and speaking
With a sort of instinctive separateness and dlgoity,
a constant sense of propriety, whioh, so far from its
being made a matter of display, was never made
the subject of a single remark. If there be any ex
ceptions to this rule, they will be noticed in due
time.”
Proceeding to the illustration of the rule thus
described, the first fact noticed was the separateness
of the Mediator from Bit contemporaries ,[as indicated
by His language, the manner in whioh He addressed
them. Here it was observed that, “Speaking popu
larly, Jesus mingled with all classes of society;
with His relatives, neighbors and disciples; with
Jews, Samaritans, and Galileans in general; with
Homans and Grecians; with civil rulers and eccle
siastical rulera ; with Pharisees, Sadducees, and He
rodlans; with priests and Deyites 5 with doctors,
lawyers and scribes; with publioans and fishermen;
with righteous men and Binnera; with rich and poor;
with the diseased and bereit; with tile demoniac
and outcast. He addressed them personally and in
social oompaniea, and in great multitude!; under an
almost indescribable variety of circumstances—con
versing, debating, teaching, and preaching, with in
atant and incomparable adaptations to the demands
of every occasion.” But how did He address them ?
Here the records were appealed to in illustration
and demonstration of the fact that He refrained
from identifying phrases, even with his contempora
ries, maintaining the rule of personal and ofilcial
separateness from them all, as Divinely superior to
them all.
Deeming the foregoing intimations sufficient for
their purpose, ae affording some opening of the sub
ject, we append a short extract from the third dis
course:
“ But now, when we oomo within this sacred cir
cle, where Jesus himself Is the only preacher, how
do we find Him addressing the people 1 As a mere
man, the Son of Joseph and Diary, beloaglngonly to
■the generation in which He was horn, and conform
ing to the inodes of speech common among His fel
low-men? Or, do we find Him speaking in a way
peculiar to Himaeu, different fromrti men, and
proper only to a preexistent Being, the Son of
God,the ‘ One Mediator between God and men,’ the
< same yeaterday, to-day, and forever j’ the Word who
■warn In the beginning, was with God, and was God
but yet, In due time, was made flesh and dwelt
among us to work out our salvation? What do our
tiendt, who deny the pro existence of Christ, say 1
Purely it is an *aay thing to show the faot in the
case. Here are the Gospels. We have only to con
sult them; and, having consulted them, I say, and
will show, that He spoke not as a mere man, but, as
the God-man.
Notice, first, this fact: Thai ChrUl never identified
Himself a a mere mm among His fellow men. by the
common mooes i >f salutation ustd by public speakers.
For instance, even in these days, our speakers salute
their heaiers as countrymen, fellow-citizens, fellow-
Chiiatians, brethren, &c. So in ancient times.
Open the “Acts of the Apostles,” and immediately
you witness this human element. In the very first
chapter, we find Peter standing up in the midst of
the disciples, and beginning his address by saluting
them as "Men and brethren.” He was a mere mao,
and, of course, hi at once identified himself with his
feliow.men, as only one among many, all alike. So
in the second chapter, in the account of bis sermon
on the day of Pentecost, we find him commencing
thus: u Ye men of Judea, and all ye that dwell at
Jerusalem , be this known unto you, and hearken to
my wordsagain, in the same sermon, addressing
them thus: ‘-Ye men of Israel, hear these words;”
and, directly after, in this way, 14 Men and
bi'ctfa , en t let me freely speak to you.” So in
the seventh chapter, In the admirable description
of Stephen before the Gouneil. Although the Holy
Spirit actually glorified him In the presence of his
enemies, so that (l all that sat in the Council, look
ing steadfastly on him, saw bis faoe as it had been
the face of an angel, 7 ’ still, he did cot for a moment
forget .that he was a mere man, and, therefore, he'
began his defence by saying: “Men, brethren and
fathers, hearken /” In like manner, in the thirteenth
chapter, when Paul aodhis companions worshipped
in the Synagogue at Antioch la PUides, 11 after the
reading or the law and the prophets, the rulers of
the Synagogue sent unto them, saying: “Ye men
and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation
for the people, say on.” Then Paul stood up,
acd, beckoning with his hand said, u Men of
Israeli *tod all ye that fear God , give audience,”
You see how naturally, on both sides, they
identified themselves with each other, as alt mere
men. So in the twenty-second chapter, where Paul
is represented as standing on the stairs in Jerusa
lem, and addressing the mob from which the chief
captain had just mciied him, he begins thus:
” Men, brethren, and fathers! hear ye my defence
whioh 1 make now unto you, lam verily a man, a
.lew, born in Tarsus, in Cilicia. yet brousht up
in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught 1
aocording 10 the perfect manner of the law
of the fathers, and was zealous toward God,
as ye all are this day.” You see how com
pletely he identifies himself, as a mere man,
even with such a blood-thirsty mob of men. So in
other instances, but these are enough. Now, the
point 1 make is this: Christ never saluted His hearers
in this way. He never said: Mca of Israel; Men
acd brethren: Men, brethren, and fathers; never
once, nor anything similar. And why dll He
not! Simply because He was net a mere mao. His
avoidance of identification was not an accident,
nor a matter of pride or taste. It was a matter
of principle. It was more than an offiolal pro
priety :it was a necessity of the truth. He could
not in truth have accosted them as fellow-men.
They were ell born by natural generation, but
He was not. He had no human father. He was
the Son of God. They were the mlliioa-bseotten
sons of men. He was the ** only-begotten Son of
God.” They were the beings of a day; whose
breath, or life, was in their nostrils. But 11 who
ihait declare His generation”—“ whose goincs forth
have been from of old, from the days of eternity?”
Do you not see it? Surely the point Is plain, and,
I think, decisive. Christ was not a mere man. if
any one here supposes that He was, let euoh an one
go home and search the Gospels, and see if he can
find a single example in whioh the Mediator thus
identified Himself with men.”
Note.— The foregoing fact, thus noticed as the
first , was, of course, followed by many others, and a
general direction was given where and how to find
hundreds of them. Indeed, a great Textual Mink
is opened, relating to both language and actions, em
bracing in whole perhaps thousands of new illustra
tions. The special topio of the next discourse will
be, The Separateness of the Mediator from His Ancestry,

The Central High School —Ad-
dress op Robert P. Kane, Esq., bbfobe the
Alumni Association.— The following address, do*
liyered on Thursday evening at the Musical Fund
Hall, before the Alumni or the High School, by Ro
bert P. Kane, Esq., will be found highly interesting
to all the graduates and friends of that istitution.
After acknowledging the honor which he had to ap
pear before the audience, he proceeded:
I can hardly believe that eighteen years have run
by eince the class of 1846, of which I was a member,
left the school, or that when I last addressed the
Society of the Alumni they barely numbered two
hundred members, of**whom certainly not a score
had attained their majority. Whatever the merits
of the association in its early institution may have
been, I think my friend, our first president, who it
sitting near 'me, will admit that we were not re
markable for gravity of demeanor, and not at all
observant in our joyous gatherings of the strict
rules of parliamentary discipline.
There arc cow upon our secretary’s roll two
thousand names. Among these are a regiment of
divines and doctors of medicine, and lawyers enough
to attend to the litigation of an entire community.
1 find that five of our members are the cashiers of
well-known banks, and that twenty-one are grave
professors. We have given to the High School eight
members of its present Faculty, and we have fur
nished no less than nineteen principals to the gram
mar schools. We edit six newspapers, and edit
them welL We have the State Treasurer ia Mr.
Cuttin’s Cabinet, and the president of the higher
! branch of the City Councils, two representatives in
I the Legislature, and, perhaps to our credit, but one
• member of Congress. In this city, ia which most of
f the graduates Of the school reside, it would be hard
to name any honorable calling of life in which some
of them have not earned a well*merited distinction.
As I ran my eye along the list which Professor
Kirkpatrick had kept of those who had made tneir
mark among us, I recalled with pain the names of
some who in the great march of life have dropped
by the wayside. One of them, a mathematician of
brilliant promise, died in the employment of the Go
vernment. He had lived to aid his old preceptor in
the great work of surveying our American coast,
and it was in this service he overtasked his powers.
Another was the surveyor who ran the lines of a
distant Territory, and when it became a State was
charged with the organization of its common schools.
A black line strikes out from the secretary’s roll
the young officer who at Big Bethel slept his last
sleep beside the gun he would not forsake; and the
names of many of his gallant comrades whose rich
bleed will make rank the grass with which in the
coining spring God will obliterate Our battle-fields.
Such as these will, I trust, be freßh in our memory
this night when we pray, as becomes Christian men,
for the hastening of the promised advent of “ peace
on earth, and good-will.”
At the time our class entered the High School, it
was underthe charge of Mr. Alexander Balias Bache.
As I now recall the hearty respect we bore this gen
tleman, the warm attachment that thrived between
us, and which lasted without check or chill through
the three years we were together, I find it difficult to
speak of him in the terms I would wish.
As he has advanced in life the honors due to de
votion and toil have thickened upon him. I believe
that I may say that there is no society of learned
men throughout the world who make solenee their
unselfish pursuit, in which his name is not as fa
miliar as that of his great ancestor. He was the
founder of our school—l say the fouader, for the
task of its organization was left to him. He had
been the president of Girard College; had visited
foreign schools and universities in order to add to
his own experience as a master of instruction, and
his work, which was the result of his travel, was on
the shelf of every well-stocked library.
The labor of making the Central High School, of
setting in motion the complex machinery of our
common school system, of which It became a part
was placed in his hands, and how ably he accom
plished the task I leave to every graduate of our
gtho Jto bear his own testimony. Although a rigid
disciplinarian, there was nothing about him of the
pedagogue; and the patient kindness with, which
he would listen to the reottal of some trivial wrong,
the prompt forgiveness he was always ready to ex
tend to an error which involved no want of integrity
or honor, arje as fresh to day with those of us who
are now among the old boys of the Alumni as when
we answered to the morning roll-call ia Dr. MoMur
trie’s lecture-room. [Applause.]
Our professor of belles-lettres was John Frost, a
man of great eminence as a scholar; a laborious
man in his professorial chair, who still found the
time to add each year some volume of value to the
literature of the day. He died in the prime of his
usefulness, and he was mourned no less by the student
who looked forward to the publication ot the great
work he had in hand, than by the boy and the girl
who missed, on the comingCrlsthmas, the little story
for children: whose pure Engliih anu simple moral
entitled it to a place by the side of Robinson Orusoe
cr Peter Parley. [Applause.] His dear friend, Mr.
John Sanderson, taught us the Greek and the Latin.
X remember how, when we oame into Mr. Frost’s
room, the moraieg after the death of this pure-mind
ed gentleman, we found our professor at his desk
with eyes as red as our own. As a teacher in Phila
delphia, Mr. Sanderson was as well known as Mr.
Crawford or Dr. Jones. He was the author of “ The
History of the Signers of the Declaration of Indepen
dence,” and of a series of most charming letters,
written whilst abroad, which he published under
the title of the “ American in Paris,” and which
have been thought by competent judges to excel ia
-playful brilliancy the sketohesof Jules Janin. It
la true he was no disciplinarian; but then the new
est comer soon learned to love him, and the fear of
wounding so kind a heart checked disorder far more
effectually than the harshest code he could have
framed. He was certainlv a most accomplished gen
tleman, and, as he chatted with us after school
hours, a line from Persius, or from Horace, his two
favorite poets, would drop as gracefully from his
lips as the diamonds and the pearls from those of
the princess in the fairy tale.
Our professor of theoretical mathematics was Mr.
Otis Kendall, distinguished as a mathematician and
at an astronomer. Our instructors in natural phi
losophy and chemistry were Professors John O.
Creason ana John Frazer and Mr. James O. Booth.
The contributions of these gentlemen to soience
have been so constant, and the weight which is at
tached to their researches is so well known, that, in
the community in which they live, I have only to
name them in order to show how great impnrtanoe
Mr. Bache attached to those branches of practical
education wbfoh were assigned them.
Our drawing master was no ordinary teacher. He
was one of the most distinguished of American
artists—Kembrandt Peale, who inherited the skilful
touch and the talent of his father. To these I add
Mr. Deloutte, and his accomplished successor, Mr.
Br£gy, who varied his instruction in French and
Spanish with an occasional lecture on the higher
mathematics. It remains for me to name two
others: Henry O. MoMurtrie, who,had he been so
minded, might more than once have exchanged his
position as our lecturer on anatomy and physiology
for a more lucrative chair in a college ol mediolne.
If, as a teacher, he was stern and exacting, he was
not wanting in those kindly arts which bind the
pupil to the teacher. These was not a chair in the
whole faculty which he might not have sued with
credit to the school. For quiet and decorum, his.
leoture-room was the model room of the institution.
The other,'William Vogdes, whose kindness and
indulgence pasced with us into a proverb. He was
identified with the school from Its foundation, and I
know that there was any one, with the ex
whose good judgment the
more indebted in framing at
which secured the
EgWS. ffit&'S^epreoiatiDg the £s!
of the very eminent gentlemen who have suooMdS
«^d a hi e i“ d facultywhloh litofSSSd
It has rather been to illustrate to the vounver
members of our association how fresh and warn??;
the affection which the first graduates stall baa*
their Alma Mater .
With IUCh » CPrpi of professors the success 0 r the
Philadelphia High Sehool Old not long remain pro
blemstioaL It soon bade fair to become the great
university of the people. It infused vitality into
the whole soheol system, and to its quiet, pervading
influence we must In a great measure attribute the
rapid growth and efficiency of our common schools.
Admission to the High School was the great pre
mium, to the attainment of whioh every pupil In the
f rairtnar oohool devoted himself. There wssno col
ege In the land that gave a more thorough practical
education than that which was now within the reach
of the son of the poorest mechanic. •
The establishment of the school cured the error or
thftt early legislation in PcnosylvAHf a wh’ch had
wickedly placed the pup.l of thR t»ui>hc pchcrfi on a
level with the charity scholar. It few l> *»i witoln
the memory of throe who listen to ni© that the
►State first came to learn that the boy was but the
future ciiizeu of tZie Common wealth. that her
own preservation and existence depended upon the
way in which she fitted him for the performance of
the duties and the enjoyment ot the rights of citi
zenship. if we were taught In the Hl*h SSoiool
■that our first duty was to the State, we also learned
to claim as a right the education we received at her
hand*. „ . ,
Tbo disiJrguichJd gentleman, who, in 1837, laid
the corner store of the echoo), and who has lived to
witm sb in its vigorous growth the success which he
then pirdiotrd for it, claimeo for the school the piece
to which it ts entitled. He said, “It is the ashool of
the people, founded by the pcojjfe, maintained by the
people, educating tb© people, controlled by the people,
end responsible under God to none but the people ”
If the education the school gave ns was not as li a*
ished In some of its branches as that of Yale ot of
Harvard, it was, however, thorough and practical.
We do not value the lets its diploma because it is
printed on paper and not, written on parchment, nor
do we esteem the less the degree which It confers be
cause it is uttered in out plain Euglish tongue
and notinthe Latin formula of some ancient uni*
versify. The school was not modelled upon any of
the institutions of learning of the Old World. It was
j to meet the wants of the free community of
Philadelphia. The eon of the rich fioaocier and of
the poorest artisan sat side by sldB on the forms of
the school; and it might well happen that the boy
whose poverty compelled him to economize the oan
die by which ho studied the morning recitation
should at the end of bis term claim the prize of dis
tinguished scholarship. In a school that was free
to all, there was no nice distinction to be drawn be
tween those that came from the parlor and those
that came from the workshop. Wo learned in the
school the important lesion that Providence has not
bestowed the pifts of intellectual ability or of noble
ness of heart or of high-toned honor upon any
favored class. We were taught “that all labor is
honorable, and that we must ourselves dignify ia
Its performance the task allotted to us, wbether it
be in the study, the office, the counting-room, the
workshop, or the furrowed field; that all vocations
of Jife are equal, and that to enooble anyone of
them we only need, under God’s blessing, a resolute
will and a pure heart.”
The Educational Commission. — Last
evening, an adjourned meeting was held In the room
of the Board of School Controllers of the joint com
miseioo, consisting of the faculties of the Boys’ and
Girls' High Schools, principals of the Grammar
Schools, and the committee of five members from
the board, to consider the proposition of Superintend
enis of the Public Schools. Mr. William H. Parker
oocupied the chair,
Mr. Sfcippen offered the resolution adopted by the
Board of Controllers, that the question of aeottonal
superintendents be referred to this commission.
A tunning discussion was indulged in touohlag the
propriety of having a superintendent for each ward,
after which a resolution was offered that the ap
pointment OT a general superintendent would be in
compatible with the best interests -of the public
school system.
An amendment was Introduced that the subject be
referred to a committee of five to report upon the
matter and to specify the duties to be imposed upon
the superintendent.
Mr. Parker, leaving the chair, addressed the com
mission, arguing that It would be impolitic, if not
impossible, to obtain an effloient superintendent,
without first inaugurating a system of euperlo
oents for the wards. A -general superintendent
be elected after the ward superintendents had
been tiled.
The amendment was not agreed to, and a motion
to postpone the subject prevailed.
The resolution for the appointment of seotlqiial
superintendents was theu taken up. and a debate
ensued, in which each member of the commission
was called upon for his or her opinion in reference
to the subject. There was but little opposition ex
pressed to the measure. The High Reboot profes
sors appeared to be united in their regard of the
matter. Professor McOlare said that the system of
county superintendents had been productive of great
good wherever established. The improvement now
proposed in the public 'school system in this city
was similar to this, and would no doubt show re
sults equally beneficial. There is, he thought, a
want of unanimity and harmony in the public
schools, which can bo overcome only by the inaugu
ration of superintendents. It would benefit teach
ers individually, as well rffe be beneficial to the
public schools as institutions of learning.
Professor Oregar, of the Girls’ High School, ex
pressed his approbation of the proposed improve
ment, stating, however, that in the bands of an in
competent person the position of superintendent
might work incalculable injury. The lady princi
pals present, with that graceful modesty so well
becoming them, declined to express any public
opinion upon the subject) and a resolution was
adopted requesting them to prepare for the next
meeting their views in writing, that the commission
might -have the benefit of tneir experience and
wisdom. The debate was continued at some length,
and nothing definite arrived at.

THE POLICE.
(Before Mr. Alderman 1
the Law.
Dennis Shay, who was arrested A few days since,
by Offioer Voorhees, on the charge of being impli
cated in the robbery of Captain Thomas Elliott of a
gold watch, was discharged yesterday from custody.
There were several hearings In this case. In order
that tbe reader may form an idea of the affair, it is
to recapitulate tbe material points elicited
at the several hearings. Shay was arrested by Offi
cer Yoorhees on Feb. 2d, at Twenty-second and
Spruoe streets. A gold watch was found in his pos
session. It was handed to Alderman Bel tier.
The father and a brother of Oapt Elliott Identified
the watch most conclusively as his property.
The driver of a railroad car testified that, some
some since three men got on the front platform of
his car, and that one of them slipped a watch into
his pocket: he did not look at it until he reached
the end of the route j he could not identify the
watoh; all he knew was that it was yellow in color;
Dennis Shay was one of the three men who got on
the csr.
I.ieutenant McGuigan testified that on the eve
ning of the 6th of January, he and Captain Elliott
met at a ball in West Philadelphia; the prisoner
end another man were in company with the Captain;
the latter paid for come redreahments, and in co
doing exhibited a roll of notes; in a short time after
this the Captain started to go home; the prisoner
and.another man said they were going the same
way j they all started together from tbe vicinity of
tbe skating pond; the Captain returned sometime
after and met Lieutenant McGuigan, and said that
(he men had robbed him.
Here the witness was interrupted by Mr. Cassidy,
the counsel for defendant, who said that anything
the captain said is not evidence, and must not be
stated.
The witness not having anything further to say,
the e&ae closed, and the defendant was at onoe du
charged
Mr. Elliott, the father, made some inquiry as to
the final disposition of the watch, but aid not re
ceive a Batisfactoro reply.
The absence of Captain Elliott is attributed to the
fact that be was ordered to report at Bridgeport,
Alabama.
The Great Conspiracy Case.
A further hearing in the great conspiracy case,
full Of intricate windings, was oontlnueain private,
yesterday, at tbe Central station. One of the de
tectives yesterday stated to us that the publication
made In this paper, a few days since, caused certain
parties to “jump.” This means to abscond, vamose,
absquatulate, to hide, Sec., &o. This has been tbe
ciy of officers for more than twenty.five years, to
our own knowledge, whenever they rail to make an
arrest. One of the detective force has been in thla
case, or a branch of it, for nearly twelve months,
end it certainly Is a very strange thing indeed,
alter so long a seoresy, that any publication could
Feasibly defeat the ends of justice.

Up LILLIE’S CHILLED IRON SAFE.
sSTonly safe reliable against both firh
AND BURGLARY.
IS THIS TRUE?
LIT THB PAST PEW MONTHS’ HISTORY IN AND
ABOUND PHILADELPHIA ANSWER
Witlln the pact year, aa I am informed, Mr. Join
Patterson, of Mount Joy, Penna.. had Bis 1200 Safe
opened by driving in toe centre of the doer with a
hammer which sprang out the edge, and a sharp
pointed bar lorced open the door, and #8)0 were taken.
Some time last summer, Mr. Potte, the Freight Agent
of the Beading Railroad, at Beading. left in his Safe at
his office, near *ll,OOO. taking all the keys of the safe
home with him, and leaving his clerk in charge, who
was ont of the office only about half an hour Before nine
o’clock ,P. M. Wien Mr. Potte returned the next mor
ning and unlocked his Safe, the money was gone, taken
cut, evidently, with ftvlee kej a.
Judge Jordan, of Bunhury . a few weeks since, left his
Safe (made bj tra with a steel-plate in front of tiie lock)
in his office, with $1,200 in it; and on his return In the
moining, he found a square plate taken out of the door
in front of the lock, by drilling a aucceseion of holes
Borne fifty innumoer: the steel plate broken, the lock laid
bare, toe door opened, and the money gone.
the iast two weeks Mr. George G. Knnkels, of
Harrisburg, left his Safe in his office with about $350,
and on his return found ahole punched in the door-panel
over the lock, powder applied, the door forced open, and
the money gone. This Safe cost $l4O, and was bought
within three years.
All the above safes were made, as I am informed, by
one of the popular manufacturers of this city, and were
the oonimon or sheet-iron Safes.
Mr. Reynolds, of the house of F. W. Reynolds ft Go.,
Bellefonte, Bankers, a few weeks since, locked up his
Safe and officeand pat his keys in his pocket, and re
tired to his room. As he got up in the morning he missed
his keys, and at once went to his office; found a part of
his keys on the floor, his Safe and office doors open, and
a large amount or nonet/ gone.
Mr. David McCormick, of Harrisburg, had his Safe
opened, by punching a hole and applying powder, the
same night and in too same manner as Mr. Konkela’,
above re/er/ea to- .
The street Theatre, in this city, a few
days since had the Safe blown open with powder, and
loats cme $360
On the night of the 9th of November, 1863, Messrs.
McConkey ft. Bro , at Peach Bottom,York county, Peuna.
lad a succession of holes drilled in front of their Safe
lock, the lock laid bare, and the Safe robbed of about
S).6GO: 9900 of it in specie.
Mr. Howell Dorman, Broad street,Philadelphia, a few
nights Bince had his Safe blown open with powder, but
the valuables yt ere not there.
Aboutffottr weeks since two full medium-sized safes,
nearly sew, were robbed at Wilmington. Del., by
nanchinga holeln the door-panel, just above the look,
and applying powder* These Safes were successfully
robbed the same night, being located near each other,
and the building occupied on both sides of them. Loss
not ascertained.
The last aev*n Safes mentioned were all, as-1 am in
formed,made by at other of the popular makers ofPhHa
delph la, and were the common or sheet-iron Safe.
I mention the above casts of robbery as a few among
the many that have come within myrnotice in this vici
nity, mostly within a few weeks past, with a view to
show not only toe frequency, but with what esse and in
how many ways the common Safe is robbed. Indeed,
the time has arrived when Intelligent, prudent men do
not think of trusting alone money or valuables available
to the burglar, as a general rule, in the common Safe.
Otherwise, robberies would be much more frequent
I would say, farther, what do the facte as herein pre
sented prove ?
First. That a lock with a key is unreliable and can
not be (rusted.
. Second. That strength to resist the hammer and bar Is
indispensable to the Safe.
Third. That the Safe must b« drill-proof.
An examination of the structure of the Sheet-iron
or common Safe must show that it has none of these
requisites.
An examination of the structure of LlUie’s Wrought
aadChiiled Ir«n fcafe will show that It has. strongly and
thoroughly, all these requisites, -
