of natural objects in the United States;
and twice each week- these acquisitions
are, thrown open for public exami
nation without charge or hindrance.
Unfortunately, the public convenience is
restricted, the highly useful purposes of
the Academy are obstructed, and its ex
panding progress in the direction of a
more general diffusion of knowledge in
the natural sciences made next to im
possible, by the need of suitable and spa
cious buildings , to shelter the collected
materials and such as should afford the
desired increase of facilities to students
or visitors. The latter already reach a
number much beyond the public idea, no
less than three thousand, three hundred
and forty-seven persons having been ad
mitted in a single afternoon of last week.
The Academy is, therefore, raising a
building-ffind of $150,000, of which two
thirds are already pledged, and the donor
of Penn Square long since provided a
-suitable site, setting apart each angle for
"buildings for public concerns." The
assent of the Legislature to the use of
that site has been applied for and will
doubtless be given, slime the application
is approved by the Philadelphia delega
tion, whose judgment. ought to be deci
sive in the premises.
THE END, AND THE RECEPTION
OF Ir.
Some days ago it was authoritatively
announced that, under instructions from
the Attorney General of the United
States, and in accordance with the Presi
dent's Amnesty Proclamation, the Dis
trict Attorney at Richmond had entered
a noileprosequi in the indictments against
JEWIFERSOII DAVIS and all the other rebel
leaders. Even if the President had not
issued his Proclamation of Aninesty, the
end would have been the same. So long
a space had elapsed from the termination
of the actual Rebellion to the moment
when the District Attorney was recent y
called upon to takeaction, that any other
disposition of the case would have been
attended by mischievous general conse-
quences throughout this country, and, in
addition, would have shocked the moral
sentiments of the whole civilized world.
While Rebellion is, doubtless, a crime,
according to the Constitution and the
Laws, and must ever remain so, it cannot
be rated' in .all respects as ordinary
offences against the penal code. Espe-,
daily is Vie so, when masses of people'
are concerned in a revolt. Then other
considerations than those which look
upon particular actions as crimes necessa
rily demand attention, and will ulti—
mately be heard, having their due weight
assigned them. Sentence of death or out
lawry will-not, and cannot, be passed, in
modern times, upon whole population's.
Three years and more ago we were
careful to maintain that, whatever might
be the abstract conception of public jus
tice as to the forfeiture of rights, either by
individuals or States, by participation in
the Rebellion, it would be found - most in
judicious to enforce sweeping proscrip
tions or penalties, and that the sooner the
controversy could be closed out on con
ditions favorable to tranquility for the fu
ture, the better it would be for all part;
and interests. These views we have sin
reiterated as opportunity offered.
Every month that has elapsed since the
surrender of General LEE bas made it more
certain than it was before that Mr. DAVIS
would not be brought to trial. It was pal
pable enough, from the beginning, to all
men who did not allow their passions and
prejudices to overbear their common sense,
. 5,4,
that if he was not promptly p oceeded
against, he was in no danger hatever.
Nay, as soon as the gust of in ignation
aroused by the assassination of resident
loriccoLn had so far . subsided . s to let
reason exercise its function, it 1 as per
ceived that the capture of Mr. D I Vas was
a blunder, and that the martyr' quaint
suggestion to General SHERMAN, a effect,
to so search for him as to giv him a
chance to escape, proceeded om the
highest wisdom. _ •
-The discontinuance of the pr cations
against Mr. Detail and his assoc ates has
Ul m
been quietly acquiesced in by epeople.
Indeed the public mind has en grad
ually, but certainly, preparing for this
result. Upon a calmer serve of the
whole matter, much doubt has been felt
whether a conviction could at y time
have been secured if Mr: D.svis had been
brought to trial before a civil tribunal;
and then, for months past, th question
haa been constantly pressing fo answer,
~
to what valuable end would a conviction
Icontribute ? -
When M.M i r. GREELEY went bail for Mr. I
Maus jinilic excitement eonsequent upon I
the Rebellion, had not so far run down 1
as to enable the loyal masses rightly to
apprehend the whole situation. An in
dignant clamor broke forth against Mr.
GBXELZT. • Time has already vindicated
him in the judgment of many; and will
soon do lila the opinions of all.
What i most needed is that the coun
try should be tranquilized. But for Pres.
I ident Jormsorr this work, instead of
standing undpne, would to-day be accom.
petted. He fanned the , embers of the
old quarrel into lift, again, by inspiring
hopes among the late insurgents which
were defr
i n
ental to the public welfare and
destined be disappointed. The elec.
tion of G T and Coma' . showed how
inadmpasib e and vain were the expecta
tions and 1 ngangs that , had been engen
dered. When the new Administration
alien entetpon Its duties on the fourth
day of ne xt month, the baleful influences
tbat have hindered the genuine recon
.
struction of the Union will cease to
operate, and the work will proceed to
a speedy and happy consummation.
TWO LAWIUL CURRE9SCIEL.
The Supreme Court of the United
States decides, but one Judge dissenting,
let. That there are two kinds of lawful
money in circulation; 2d. that both are
legal•tenders ; 3d. that contract, for
payment in either.' specificallY, are valid
and must be enforced; 4th. that, when
either is not specified, the judgment must
also be without specification. Such are
substantially the points of the synopsis,
by telegraph, of the decision rendered on
Monday in the case of Bronson vs. Bodes.
That suit was brought on a contract made
anterior to the suspension, of { specie.
payments, bat which
,neverthelese sped-
fled a payment in coin. The synopsis
before us does not, however, `confine the
effect of the decision to contracts of that
date, but its terms are generally applicable,
to all contracts dated - then or since paper
was made legally' tender for the payment
of debts.
This decision, thus as we suppose cor
rectly reported, relieves Congress from
any need for the passage of an Act ex
pressly legalizing contracts made specifi
cally doin.payable. The pending bills
for that purpose may now be postponed
indefinitely. The step which Congress
has so long hesitated to take in its legis
lation, has, under this decision of the
Court, become superfluous. No new law
is needed, in this clearer exposition of
what is law already. The right of citi
zens to contract for payment in either
coin or paper specifically is now estab
lished beyond a doubt or appeal.
The judgment of\the Court will have
the effect to unlock the hoarded specie of
the country, and re-enlist its use directly
and actively in general business. Coin
will be again used as a medium in mer
cantile and financial transactions, and
will be more and more demanded under
contracts of all descriptions, anon the
Supreme Court has thus vindicated the
rights of property in its ownen, with the
equivalent obligations of the debtor.
Practically outlawed for seven years, a
speck-currency has st last been restored
to a legal recognition. It only remains
now for the unwritten laws ot ; trade to de
yekip the just influence which this-addi
tion to our legally circulating Medium
shallhave upon the financial condition of
the country.
." Nor does the Supreme Court stop there!
The constitutional validity of the ,Legal-
Tender Acts is expressly affirmed. How
ever the effect may be financially, the .
Court expressly recognizes the paper
medium and the coin medhumas equally
lawful. The doubts heretofore expressed,
touching the legality of a measure Which
was in dispensible to the . finances and
even to the very existence of the Repub
lic within the past seven years, are thus
shonfn to be without legal foundation. A
question which involved the moat mo
mentous consequences to the public and
to individuals, is set at rest forever, and
to the universal satisfaction.
CHARLES R. BUCKALEW.
On the fourth day of next month this
gentleman will vacate the 4eat he has oc
cupied in the Senate of the United States
during six eventful years, and go into •
that graceful and studious retirement
which is congenial with his tastes and,
culture. and in accordance with the de-.
termination of the Democratic party, to
which be belongs, concerning him.
That he possesses unusual breadth and
solidity of understanding, is conceded by
his political opponents as freely as was
ever asserted by his, associates and sup
porters. To this natural endowment, ho
has superadded a training more exact and
elegant than'that which has fallen to the
lot of most public men in this country.
His bearing, moreover, is ffank,,, , manly,
courteous and dignified, such as well be
comes the high place he fills in the na
tional councils. He is above pretensim
and duplicity, caring to be rated only for
what he is, and conscious that such ad.
measurement is sufficient to gratify a rea
sonable ambition.
Nor is the mental side of his character
the only one meriting special considera
tion and respect. He is uniformly under
the influence of strong convictions, with
which he never trifles, but always follows
wherever they may lead. True,
his con
victions have o ft en been at variance with
our own; but ho has always borne him
self so as to command the confidence and
inspire the esteem of even the 'most radi
cal and uncompromising of ,the ;Republi
can Senators.
Viewing him on both the -mental and
the moral side of his character, ho is cer
tainly the most conspicuous and able of
the Democratic members of. the Senate.
On the Republican side he is surpassed for
general grasp and power only by Mr.
Pstssiniarir4 and for special aCComplish•
meats only by Mr. Susumu.
Under this aspect of the case, it may
seem strange to the uninitiated that the
members of his party in the Legislature
of this State, at the late Senatorial cau
cus and election, refused him the honor
of a complimentary vote. They chose
rather to indicate a decided preference for
Mr. W. A. WALLACE as his succeatior.
The fact is, Mr. BIICKALEW is too broad a
statesman to elicit the admiration of the
Democrats of. Pennsylvania.
Entering the Senate during the Rebel
lion, his thought and purpose were to so '
act as to be true to himself—that is, to
exhibit his own principles and decisiorn
instead of the passions
,and prejudices of
his party. This was a task of difficulty
and delicacy; for his 'co.partisansi almost
without exception, had taken ground
which the impartial verdict' of ultimate
history will pronounce deeply tinctured
-witli fftelvisni. They demanded a fa
representation of their peculiar ideas and
feelings by Mr. Bucitsurw, and failed to
get it- Nor yet i d he see proper to iden
tify himself with the Republicans by a
breach of fidelity to hie party, and a con
tradiction of his hole previous political
career, Bull as r. COWAN was guilty of.
His fixed determination w s to maintain
his own individuality, and deport him
self that he shoild a ft er ads have no
misgivings as to his conduct.
While he has steadily dl Bred from the
Republiclns on most poin t lUt of constitu
tional law which have been under dis
cussion, and has asserted his opinions
with great, pliiinness of ! terms, he has
uniformly addressed the Senate in such
manner as tot command respect for his
powers and acouirements, and for the
moral convictions by whith he was ani
mated. Co do this in times of great po
litical heat and acerbity, like those in
which his Senatorial lot was cast, gives
assurance of high qualities. In.his retire
ment to the duties and enjoyments of
private life, and to those graceful and
comparitively rare studies to which he is
devoted. he will carry c with him the per
sonal friendship of all the Republican
Senators, as well as a warm appreciation
of those gifts and attainments which make
him a statesman rather than a politician.
THE OHIO RIVER DISASTER.
THROUGH the kindness of Mr. Swum
WALKER, of the Ldcal Board of 11. S.
Inspectors for this Port, we have received
advance copies of the result of the pro
tracted . investigation into the terrible
calamity by which seventy-four lives were
lost on the Ohio river last December,
from the collision and burning of the
Steamers United States and America,
made by the Board of Inspectors of Cin
cinnati. Inasmuch as the heart-rending
particulars of that awful calamity are still
fresh in the memories of our readers, we
feel thatit is unnecessary to recite the tes
timony idduced, by the Inspectors, or to
publish in foll their clear and eompre
hensive report. It appears that the ill
fated steamers were perfect in all their
appointments, and were equipped in strict
compliance with the law, some of said
equipments being in excess of those legal
ly prescribed. The pilots and command
ers had for many years previous to the
accident sustained high reputations as
careful and • skilled officers. In view of
the strong testimony showing that the
rules established by the Board of Super
vising Inspectors for the government .of
pilots had been violated by both pilots,
thus causing a collision which might
have been avoided, the Inspectorsrevoke
I the licenses of those officers.
I We do not know that it is charitable to
accuse the offending officers with-the
I crime of wholesale murder, but if through
any criminal neglect or want of care,
they brought about an accident involving
such disastrous consequences to human
life, their consciences must be burdened
with an awful weight. Persons charged
with the preservation of the lives cf the
traveling community should
,take warn
ing from this case and so znard their con
duct and discharge their duties that
should accidents happen their records will
not develop a want of concern for the
welfare and safety of the persons making
up their predions cargoes.
CEORGIA IN CONGRESS.
The mischievous results, of that series
of blunders by which Congress has in
volved the Georgian question in a thread
less maze of difficulties, are attracting the
attention of thoughtful men everywhere.
For example, the Utica Herald says :
In seeking to dodge the unpleasant
duty of a positive decision upon - the
status of Georgia, it has simply made it
self ridiculous, while accomplishing by
indirection what it sought to avoid. It
did not wish to acknowledge Georgia in
the Union, and lacked the moral courage
to decide her,out of it. In trying to dodge
the horns of this dilemma, it has im
paled itself oh the first, and in effect de
cided that Georgia is re-admitted, be
cause it declares her entitled to vote
for Chief Magistrate—and, of course, to
her full representation in both Souses.
Congress will find it very difficult to
get rid of this conclusion, though there
is not the least doubt in the fact that the
State of Georgia has not complied with
the reconstruction laws, and is therefore
not legally a member of the Union.
Such a cowardly blunder on the part of
COngress is worse than a crime.
The Albany 'Evening Journal says:
The real mischief is the precedent re.
cognizing Georgia—fbr such is tlig prao.
Meal effect of the came taken. lirgia
was not entitled to vote, her vote had no
place in Congress. And the petty quib
ble of counting it both ways does not
change the admission that there was a
legal eleotion. For this, the Senate—
whlolt has refused seats to Messrs. Hill
and Miller—is responsible.
Tna Harrisburg Tokgraph says
Judge Pearrin delivered this morning
a very able and elaborate opinion on the
question whether the law passed in 1866,
compelling the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company to open sluices for the passage
of Ash in their dams alongthe Basque.
benne, is constitutional. The judge de
clared the bill passed in 1866 unconstitu
tional; and the fish are therefore compell
ed to stay below the dam at Columbia.
Tun Free Press of Madison, Arkansas,
speaking of the effects of martial law in
that State, says : "Whole' sections that

The report of the Akiska investigation
will be made to the House during the ,
present week. The main facts developed
are already well known: The Committee
will report, in substance, that beyond the
one instance of attorney's fees, and two
or three small instances of newspaper
corruption, the 1 charges of general or
wholesale corruption are not sustained.
The Reconstruction Committee at their
next meeting will take up the cases of
Georgia or Virginia. Respecting the
former'State, It Is understood that the ma
jority of the Committee are in favor of
reporting against the admission of her
representatives to Congress until she has
complied with the reconstruction acts.
The action of her Legislature, in turning
out the negro representatives and in dis
franchising the negroes, of the State, is
regarded as a clear violation of the con
ditions upon which she was admitted; and
until she complies with these conditions,
she will not be entitled to have represen

The San Domingo question will be
