The Re sources and Future of Russian
American.
SINCE yesterday morning the United States
has been increased by the addition of terri
tory nine times as large as the State of New
York. This enormous purchase has been
made for sum so trifling, that the bitterest
opponents of the acquisition of Russian Anne
rica agree that, if the province is worth any
thing tits worth the required sum. And every
day increases our conviction that, in securing
Mt. st. Elias and all its surroundings, we have
acquired treasure. At first we were told that
it was all ice, and nothing could live there ex-
oept Kodiacs, who carried on an ever-diminish-
ing fur trade. After a little comes the infor-
nation that there are really valuable fisheries
attached to the new property, which WILL if
properly worked, yield in two years more than
the cost of the purchase. In addition to its
furs and fish, we now are told that some of the
finest timber in the world is grown there
that the forests come down to the shore, and
abound in ship-building timber of the high
est excellence. So that, as there is no inland
transportation, enterprise, with but little
capital, will find an immediate field. All these
sources of wealth, with iron and coal and vast
territory, for seven millions of dollars, is GER
tainly remarkably cheap purchase.
We notice that those of our contemporaries
who have decried the ratification of the treaty,
have quoted the fact that the present condi-
ton of the country and its inhabitants is
eminently uncvilized and worthless, as proof
that under American administration the land
would not be self-sustaining. Such grumblers
compare a Yankee and Kodiac, and deem
the energy of each to be equal. We, however,
have no fears but that when once the tide of
emigration from the States begins to flow into
our new acquisition, a change will come over
the appearance of the country. 1t is very
well to point to the desolate condition of the
inhabitants, and say that therefore there is no
bright future before Russian America. What
is dead under the Autocrat will spring into
life under the Republic. With new rule of
government, new enterprises, new people, with
active brains and eager hands, with capital
and freedom and the civilization of the United
States transported into her Archangel, we
will soon see the wilderness blossom as the
rose, and Russian America, heretofore con-
sidered an iceberg, become mine of wealth
to our citizens, and new acquisition to our
nation.

THE OPERA-Madame Parepa Rosa gained
another marked: triumph in Norma" last
evening. Her success was the more palpable
from the fact that we have seen all the great
lyric artists in the role. The aria "Casta Diva"
was a very fine piece of vocalization, and
shower of bouquets greeted the prima donna
at It's close, along with the most voeiferous
applause.
In truth, we have not heard the solo so well
sung in years, and the impressive acting OF the
artist during its rendition was such as to almost
electrify the audience. IL was honored with
one OF the most tumultuous encoreS we have
ever heard in the Academy, and the JUTore IL
created was abundantly deserved.
The grand solo "Qual cor tradesto," was sung
by PaTepa with all the fervor and grace OF the
accomplished artist, and the feeling she infused
INTO IL made 1t one OF the most delightful per-
formances of the evening, The solo Immediately
fSliowing It "Ah Padre! 1n Sp priego also G

she displayed in the scene that accompanied 1t

performance. AltogetherI Madame Parepa's
Norma" was treat to witness, and we sim
cerely hope that she may be induced to repeat
1t before the close of the season. Limberti, as
"Polione," was admirable and made the most
favorable impression on the immense audience
present Susini as "Oroveso," was also very
effective-his ponderous bass suiting the dignf
fed music OF his rOte exactly. The chorus and
orchestra were both good, and the whole per-
Torrance, in fact, one of the best of the kind
ever given in Philadelphia.

WE find in a Republican contemporary
letter in regard to the nomination Of Supreme
Judge, which starts out with this assertion
'It seems to be very generally conceded that
the central portion of the State is entitled to
the Union nomination for Supreme Judge"
We wish to enter our emphatic protest
against any such concession. II there is any
Office in regard to which the "shrieks of
locality" should be utterly unheeded it is
that of Supreme Judge. This idea that man
must be nominated toofice because his locality
is "entitled" to it, is the fruitful source of
weak and unworthy nominations It is bad
enough when used with reference to minor
Offices; let us, If possible, keep it out of mind
in nominating Supreme Judge. That nomi-
nation should be made with sole and special
reference to the character and requirements of
the nominee What the State wants in that
officer is a man of great ability, of thorough
knowledge of the law, of a juridioal cast OF
mind, and of a reputation for integrity above
suspicion. If we can find such man, we do
not care what section he comes from, he is
the man who ought to be nominated.

BRITISH MINrsTRYrIt would seem, from
the unsatisfactory despatch by the cable, that
the Derby Government will be saved by ga
split in the opposition" AS the latest authen-
tic accounts, previous to this intelligence, told
us of perfect unanimity among the Liberals,
we feel anxious to know on what they have
split. Surely they are united in opposition to
the Government bill; they all agree that it is
wrong, although it is probable that they can
not agree themselves as to what is right. So
long as they are strong enough to turn out their
enemies, we feel pretty well assured that in a
test vote they will be united.

Children Robbed of Education.

THE census of children in this city, which
we published yesterday, furnishes food for
reflection in many respects. There is cause
for congratulation that so large number
100, 900 at least-are enjoying the advantages
of our admirable public and private schools.
But there is occasion for more serious refec-
ton in the fact that there are more than
10000 children who are neither attending
school nor engaged in any useful employment.
From the ranks of these little ones will come
the great mass of our future paupers and
criminals. They are the foredoOmed inmates
of our almshouses and pententiaries.
1t is question which deserves careful con-
sideration, whether society is doing its duty
by these neglected children. Is it right that,
through the negligence or wilful restraint of
vicious and degraded parents, these as yet
innocent children should be shut out from all
the blessings of education If they grow up
to be paupers and criminals it will not be
their fault wholly, but good share of the
blame must rest upon the community, which
might and ought to protect them, and does not.
We have hitherto, in this country, contented
ourselves with making the most ample pro
vision for the education of our children and
youth, relying upon the natural feeling ol
parents for the welfare of their children to
secure the actual appropriation Of the benefits
tbus provided by the public. But experience
shows that in all our great cities there is
large class of worthless, vicious, and criminal
parents who care nothing for the education of
their children, but who systematically train
them to vice and crime. In regard to these,
we do not hesitate to say that society should
interpose for protection. As President Shippen
well remarks of these returns, they ''must
satisfy the community of the need of COM
nulsory education laws. Society has right
to protect itself against vagrancy and idleness
as well as to punish crime. The school door
is open to all; the public purse is ready to
educate all. [twere better to force every idler
into the school-room than to employ regi-
ment of police officers to protect the community
against the evil fruits OF idleness."
This is sound doctrine, and we trust ere
long to see it enacted into law. The highest
duty of society towards children is to see that
they are educated. II Ifparents themselves VIII
attend to the matter it is better that they
should do so, but their failure ought not
to be permitted to entail upon the child an
irreparable loss. The child who grows up In
ignorance is injured beyond the power oi
remedy. The wasted years cannot be recalled
The lost opportunities cannot be regained'
Both justice to the children, and proper
regard for the welfare of society itself, demand
that our educational laws shall be so modified
as 70 render impossible such a return as that
there are 10000 children without employment
aud without schooling in this city.

OUR STATE CoNvBNT1oN.--We see that the
State Central Committee of the Republican
party have agreed to call the Convention on
the 26th of June at Williamsport. At this
Convention a candidate for the Judgeship of
the Supreme Court of the State, now held by
Judge Woodward, will be nominated. We are
glad that some other place than that Augean
stable, Harrisburg has been selected for the
meeting. At Williamsport there will be less
room for the lobby influence, and we may hope
to see a high-toned nominee, fitted by legal
learning and tried loyalty for so important a
position.

Because we have Indians and negroes among

mistake for the caterers in the Exposition to

 Many persons have forgotten a movement for the impeachment of John Tyler, after his betrayal of the Wings, and which is thus stated by a cotemporary:
 con the 10th of January, 1S43, the Hon. John Minor Bolts, of Virginia, in the House of representatives im- peached President John Tyler, elected Vice President on the Whig ticket of Harrison in April 1S4i, as Vice Presi- ldent Andrew Johnson was in April flS65, on the death of President Lincoln. Mr. Bolts i'll his charges against Presi- lent Tyler accused him of various high ,rimes and misdemeanors, including a gross usurpation of power and viola ton of law in attempting to exercise a controlling influence on the accounting officers of the Treasury Department, wicked and corrupt abuse of the pow CT ofappointmentto to and rcmovalfrom oiice:" aiding to excite a disorgan- izing. spirit in the country" by pro- claiming his disregard of a law of Con- gress which lie himself had approved. |.
