ANOTHER iSTATUARY JOB.

CLARK MILLS is endeavoring to have another
of his bronze denominations imposed upon the
nation through the agency of his friends in
Congress. Every visitor to the capital has seen
tho equestrian statues of Washington and
Jackson executed by this individual, and
every person with the faintest shadow of
artistic appreciation knows that they are dis
graceful to American art and the objects of
ridicule TO every intelligent foreigner that
looks at them. In the face of all the criticism
these works have received, Mr.. Mills is still
able to find advocates in Congress who are
willing to press his claims for another job.
Yesterday, on the motion of Mr.. Whittemore,
of South Carolina, the House of Representa-
tives referred to the appropriate committee a
bill authorizing the Secretary of the Interior
to contract with Clark Mills for a group Of
statuary for the south wing of the Capitol.
Mr.. Mills is an experienced lobbyist, and if
an energetic protest is not made against this
scheme, he will, in all probability, get this
job through Congress without difficulty. The
nation already owns more of Clark Mills sta
tuary than it ought, and in view Of his utter
incompetency for the execution of great
work of art, there is manifest impropriety
in intrusting anything more to him. Even if
his statues had hundred times the merit
that really belongs to them, MIR. Mills has
had more than his share of that kind of
work, and it is only fair that some of the
other artists of the country, who are in
every way superior to this lobbyist, should
have a chance to contribute to the embelliSh
ment of the public buildings.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER II, 1869.
COUNCILS AND THE METROPOLL
TAN POLICE BILL.

A RESOLUTION was offered in the Select branch
of Councils yesterday which provided for the
appointment of a committee to inquire ''why
o certain amount has been taken from the
salaries Of policemen, and ascertain the use
of such exaction." This resolution, however,
was defeated, in spite of the fact that the city
is rife with rumors that corruption fund is
nowb being extorted from the policemen for the
purpose Of preventing the passage of Metro
politan Police bill at the coming session of
the Legislature. The names of members of
the force who are alleged to
have been discharged on account of
their refusal to contribute money to this in
famous purpose have been published, and the
general character of the plan of operations
has been outlined. 1t is alleged that suf1-
eient number of Republican members of the
State Senate are to be bribed to form, in con-
junction with the Democratic members of
shat body, reliable working majority against
any Seform Of the police system of Philadel-
phia. Sufficient evidence of the truthfulness
of this story has already been adduced to
make it exceedingly probable. Despite the
opposition which the proposal to investigate
the subject encountered in Councils, the cause
OF public justice and morality would be pro-
moted by thorough exposure of such in
famous projects. We believe there is a law
on the statute-books prohibiting any attempt
to bribe the Solons at Harrisburg; and it is
perhaps q question whether the Grand Jury
cannot properly inquire into the alleged facts,
and, if they are found to be true, present as
criminals the men who are actively engaged
in engineering this grand scheme of corrup-
tion; but certainly Councils have clear right
to ascertain whether the money Of the city IS
to be used for the purpose Of preventing the
Legislature from promoting the true interests
of the municipality. 1t is commonly re-
ported that the defeat Of the Metropolitan
Police bill at the last session
was due mainly to the expeudi-
ture Of Democratic corruption fund, and
the same system OF operations is now, appa-
rently, about to be repeated, with the added
enormity that the price of treachery and trea-
son ia to be wrung from the depleted Golfers
of the City Treasury. Surely, if these stories
be true, the people should know the fact,
and the imputed criminals of high low
degree should be made to feel that the pub
lie fully comprehend and thoroughly condemn
their contemplate knavery. If the police
men can spare thirty dollars per man to buy
up Senators and enrich professional borers,
their salaries should be reduced to this extent,
and the city instead of legislative rogues
should receive the benefit of the contribu-
tions. 1t is bad enough that the cause of
peace and order here is to be trifed with,
and that bad system of appointments re-
sulting in an exceptionally bad set of officers
is to be perpetuated, but insult is heaped on
injury by the attempt to wiring from our own
taxpayers the moneys which are to purchase
their humiliation and defeat.

JAPANESE JUSTICE.

IT is said that in Japan, when fire, origi-
mating from any cause, burns down a mans
house, he is condemned as criminal for what
may have been an unavoidable accident and
summarily executed In Mexico, too, il was
formerly deemed as dangerous to be the first
to discover the dead body Of murdered man
as TO be the known murderer, On account of
the cumbrous character Of the machinery of
justice, the committal to prison as witness,
and various costs, fines and difficulties. In
Philadelphia an approach to this japanese or
Mexican system was reached few days ago.

CHEAP morning paper, of limited circulation and
influence, makes great fuss over an alleged appro-
pration by us of one OF its special dispatches from
Washington, without credit being given therefor.
The despatch in question reached US the day before
it was published in either paper, but too late for in
sertion in regular editions. For this reason II
could not appear until the following afternoon. II
might be interesting for the public to know the pecu
liar circumstances under which the despatch In
question found its way into the columns OF con-
temporary in advance of our own publication of it,

porary would not be less entertaining. For our part
we shall henceforth keep an eye on the rat-hoes

ASHLEY, the great original impeacher, has
come to grief at last; not. however, by reason
of the causes which should have prevented
his appointment to the governorship of the
Territory of Montana, but for the reason that
he has joined in Democratic crusade against
the colored people in the Territory. His re-

and hence we are not disposed to find fault in
the matter, especially as the cause assigned is

JUDGE GEIEE Is REsIGNATIoN of his position
upon the bench of the Supreme Court of the
United States is officially announced, and we
elsewhere publish the highly complimentary
response made by the President in &C
cepting it. The latter recalls the great
services rendered by Judge Grier to the
country ''in the darkest hours of her history
by the vigor and patriotic frmness with
which he upheld the just powers of the Gov
ernment, and vindicated the right of the ma
ton under the Constitution to maintain its
order and existence" This high eulogy is
certainly well deserved, and sufficient justi-
ication of it is found in the sketch of Judge
Grier's long and honorable career published
by us few days ago.

The Spaniards are exercised over the loss OF
their crown jewels, which it is charged that
the ex-Queen carried off with her when she
fled the country. Tbs charge Isabella has
denied but, as the jewels are not to be
found, her late subjects still persist in assert
ing that, in addition to her other offenses,
she is guilty Of grand larceny. The Cortes
yesterday adopted, by vote of 12O to 5,
resolution 20 investigate this robbery, and
Minister Nguerola persisted in the assertion
that the ex-Queen and her mother had alb
stractod the jewels. This is subject that
will interest the Spaniards even more than
bdnting for King; and if the investigation
is prosecuted with any skill or energy, there
is very little doubt that it will be discovered
ere long whether Isabella is thief or not.

REPUTATION was repudiated in gallant style
In the House of Representatives yesterday,
and the most edifying part of the spectacle
was the manner in which this infamous doc
trine was assailed by those who have not
scrupled on other occasions to support or in
sinuate 1t. Mr.. Mungen, who lives in the
shadow of Pendleton, the great personihoa-
ton of repudiaton, doubtless imagined that
he was leaping at single stride into the
Democratic leadership; but the significant
manner in which he was summarily sup
pressed by the prominent Democratic mem
bers has given him lesson which he will not
soon forget. Putting all the circumstances
together, it is not surprising that Mungen
lost his temper and became very choleric and
even went so far, after the adjournment, %
to assert that ''every - one of them has tine
and time again privately talked open and un-
qualified repudiation of everything except
their salaries This may be good Demo-
cratic doctrine in private, and even on the
stump, but it isn't exactly the thing in Con-
,gress, as Mr. Mungen has at last discovered.

The whole sum which the State has contri-

is $l40. 600; and during the same time 1t has
derived from legacies aud private gifts about
$l75,000 10 all which must be added, what is
hardly capable OF being definitely computed, the
sum spent meanwhile by Professor Agassiz from
his own earnings, and the tuition fees OF his
students (Which last, however, he has almost

this total sum Of about $3.50 has been sab
