Who aTc Orphnns

A controversy has sprung up in Philadel-
phia in regard To the sense in which the term
orphan is used by Stephen Girard, in his will
founding Girarl College. The old Board of
Trustees, after an elaborate examination of
authorities, decided that the term ,yhal nieGIt
a fatkerleSs child The trust has been managed
some ten years IN that construction. But
new Lords, new laws. The new Board in
jane last, decided that an orphan mast have
lost both his parents, To enti,le him 90 admis-
sion TO the College. The will Of Girard bad
provided that preference should be given TO
orphans born IN the city of Philadelphia
Both these facts were united in the case of
James Snoham, and on his rejection By the
Board, a bill was iilrd in the Supreme Court,
aud heard before Judge Read. on Monday
last. Jud - Rad. after hearing AN elaborate
argument, with numerous authorities from
