Our Republican Nobility What Should
Constitute American AristOcracy.

Our Republican Nobility Should
Constitute American AristOcracy.
"WHY should not blood, or wealth, or talent
constitute an arstocracy in our midstP Why
should not titles be distributed and cOats-of
arms adopted, blazonry displayed on the panels
of coaches, and old silver be stamped with the
hereditary mark of gentilityP" When our
foretathers first entered upon a republican
life they were tinctured with all Of England's
monaIchlcal views and for years after the
establishment of our independence it took all
the genius of the Puritan faction to crush out
his spirit of love of rank. To secure its exter-
mination the first Presidents preserved a
studiously transformations mode of lie and
reception. We are told that they carried H.
to an excess, and that by the cold blast
simplicity che fair rose OF an American aris-
tocracy was cruelty nipped in the bud. We
tender to those whom cruel fate has deprived
of titles and estates--to Duke GwIN, M. D.,
and his tellow-sufferers our warmest sympathy
and coincidence. Why should any member
OF the family of BROWN be deprived Of the
address of baron, or why should we not boast
a Count OF Chickahomeny, Duke of the
Dismal Swamp, or an Earl of Albemarle?
We are, therefore, pleased to see that GER
tain of the merchant princes Of New York
have adopted a system by means of which
their proper position in the social world could
be indicated A committee of the Chamber of
Commerce of that city waited upon the Pre-
sident the other day, and sent in their cards,
with the number of millions they were worth
Z appended to their names. For example, "F. S.
WINSTON, President Mutual Insurance Com
pany representing seventeen million dollars;
r. II. .BURDELL President ofthe Erie Railroad,
representing sixty millions; II. B CLATLIN,
the largest merchant on the globe"
Now, although some fond lovers of Uto-
plan equality may sneer at this falsely termed
evidence of "snobocracy," we must acknow-
ledge that we see in it an easy solution to the
vexed question OF superiority. Here. in this
land, where all men are theoretically equal,
how can we decide who shall be Duke, or
Earl, OF even a Lord, in this society, unless on
like plan to The one suggested by our New
York neighbors? We would suggest scale
of prices whereby title should be won:-
so millions Prince, 20 millions Count.
30 millions a Duke, 10 millions Lord
80 millions an Earl; over million Sir or
Baron.
All under one million viii be plebeians, trac-
tions of millions apportioned according to the
law relative to representation among the
States. By such scheme as suggested much
difficulty would be avoided, and all that
inconvenience felt by travelling Ame-
ricans because of the absence of the
titles overcome. For it is well known
that to such an aristocracy as we sug-
gest all Europe would bow. We hope the
idea originated by the visiting New Workers
will become national, and lofty, aristocratic,
Earonial edifice erected on the slight corner
stone furnished by the wealthy New York
nOliticians.

New Court Rooms.

THE meeting of the legal profession held yes
terday in token of respect to the memory of
Judge THOMPSON, was the largest ever con-
vened in this city upon any similar occasion.
Besides the manifestation of admiration for
the virtues of the deceased, two important
questions were spoken of by persons familiar
with the matter. One was that the business
of the Court was entirely too extensive for
three judges to attend to, and the other that
the apartments in which the sessions of the
courts are held are so small and badly venti-
lated, that it is cruelty to judges, clerks, and
attorneys, to force them to transact business
in the foetid atmosphere.
The same bench is required to hold the
Common Pleas, Quarter Sessions, Orphans
and Court of Oyer and Terminer, the latter
always requiring TWO judges, and sometimes
the full Court. This is putting entirely too
much labor upon three men, be they ever so
competent and industrious, and it ought to be
changed. We see that bill has been intro
duced into the Legislature to add another
member to the Court, which would ertainly
greatly relieve the present force. But the
present limited accommodations, and the evils
that flow from them, can only be remedied by
the erection OF new court buildings This
matter has been in contemplation for some
months; and as we have now lost one valuable
citizen, it is time that we look after the lives
and health OF the remainder of the Court 1t
Is to be hoped that the new court buildings
will be rushed through as speedily as possible.
The plan is TO erect spacious buildings in
the rear of the room occupied by the Court of
Quarter Sessions in Independence Square.
From what we can learn the edifice will be
not only convenient but ornamental, and, what
is certainly desideratum, will permit lawyers
to attend to their cases without fear Of suffo-
cation. We look forward with pleasure TO a
period when the appointments of our inns Of
court will be credit TO our city, for as they
at present exist they are certainly disgrace
The wise suggestions thrown out yesterday
ought to be acted upon without unnecessary
delay.

NINETY CENTS SAvED.-Old Boge was
a uliserly old fellow, who had accumulated
great wealth by lifelong penuriousness.
But even misers have to die sometime,
aud old Boge was at length called upon
20 pay that debt which all must pay, and
which is as easily paid by the man who
hasn't got a cent as by the possessor of
millions.
Old Boge was sick unto death, finding
partial recompense in his suferiDgs
from the reflection that as he couldn't eat
anything something was being saved
His physician told him that his end was
rapidly approaching, and as he felt within
himself that he was rapidly approaching
his end, 1t was evident to Old Boge that
he must meet his end very soon.
Glow long have to liver asked Old
Boge, in a faint voice.
"Only half an hour" said the physi-
clan, taking out his watch in business
manner, and added, ''is there any one you
would like to send ior-a clergyman, for
instance ?'
Old Boge mused in lethargic way for
a moment, then started up as with
sudden thought, raised his feeble hand
and felt of his emsciated chin, upon which
two weeks Of grey and stubbed beard had
grown, then whispered, hurriedly-"quick
bring me-brIng me-a barber
The barber came with his kit, and Old
Boge said in q voice that was rapidly
growing wea+er-
"You-charge-ten cents-to shave
live men p
"Yes, that is our price," replied the
barber.
"What-yOu c3arge-to shave-dead
mon ?"
Gone dollar said the barber, wonder
ing what he meant.
"Then-shave-me-quick," said Old
Boge, rervously cycling the watch which
the doctor held in his hand. He was too
weak to speak further, but the doctor in
;erpreted Alright the question that was in
his eyes.
"tifteen minutes" replied the doctor.
Old Boge made a feeble motion as
with lather brush, and the barber was at
his work in a jify. He performed his
task with neatness and dispatch, and al
though the sick man had several sinking
spells of an alarming nature, yet he bore
up to the end. When the last stroke of
the razor vas given, Old Boge whispered
in tones of satisfaction 'ThatH do
nmety-cents-sa saved," and Immediately
expired.

York wanted to sell lot of bowls and
dishes he had made of maple Jonathan
travelled over the city, asking everybody
to buy his wares, but no ore was disposed
to purchase.
1t happened that British fleet was
then lying in the haTbor of New York,
aud Jonathan struck upon a plan OF
selling his dishes. He got naval uni
form, by hook or crook, (for history
doesn't tell where he got it, and strutting
up town one morning, asked merchant

commodore wanted lot for the feet.
The merchant replied that he had none
on hand, but there was some in town, and
if he would send IN the afternoon he
would supply him with pleasure.

Will call then"
Jonathan now cut fer home by the
shortest route, and had scarcely dofed his
naval suit before down came the merchant,
who, seeing that Jonathan had sold none
Of his wares, offered to take the whole lot
ir he would deduct fifteen per cent. But
Jonathan said "he'd oe COLL darned if he
didn't keep them, before he'd take less
than his price"
The merchant finally paid him down in
gold his price for the wooden ware, which

thereafter while Johnathan trotted home
in high glee at the success of his maneu-
yer, while the merchant cursed British
officers ever after.
