ANDREW JACKSON'S LEGACY.

CARL scHURz, the new Missouri Senator, in his
argument against the bill repeating the Tenure
of-Ofice act referred to the question of reform
In the civil service of the country as one of the
greatest problems presented to the statesmen Of
the present day. The main source of the cor
rup&on and inefiieiency by which our present
system is both degraded and disgraced, Senator
SchurE urged, ''was not to be found in the exer-
else of the arbitrary power of removal by the
Executive, but in the system of appointments of

THE RECALL OF REYERDY

PRESIDENT GRANT has done what was expected
of him by recalling Minister Reverdy johnson
from the Court of st. James. Secretary Fish,
at the instance of the President, has signifed to
the great after-dinner treaty maker that his re-
signation will be accepted soon as rendered
polite and diplomatic way of telling Reverdy
that his services are no longer required,
and giving him an opportunity to retire
gracefully without waiting to be kicked
out of Office Mr. johnson has appa-
rently allowed himself to be beguiled
into the belief that his mission to England has
been an entire success in every particular in
spite of the rejection of his treaty by the Senate
and the denunciations of his course by the press
and people. Even at this late hour when the
| eyes OF the English people have been opened to
his real character, and 1t has been fully demon

The FINE ARTs.-This evening Messrs. James
s. Earle 81 Sons will give private view at their
gallery of very superior collection of American
works of art, and tomorrow and after the eXhi-
bition will be opened free to the public num-
Der of superior works will be included in this
collection, and there will be several features
which will make the exhibition unusually in
teresting. One of the most important pictures
will be Bierstadt's "Vesuvius in Eruption" This
work was executed last year from sketches made
upon the spot, and it is said to be a remarkably
showy and attractive painting. The ''Yo Semitic
Valley" by Hill, of Boston, is another large
picture that has been favoraby commented upon
by the critics of other cities, and it is said to be
superior to Bierstadt's rendition of the same sub
ject. "Good Words" by Constant Mayer, the
painter of ''Conyalescence," Loves Melan-
choly," and other pictures that have been eXten-
sively popular will also be an attraction. All of
these pictures are being photographed
and Messrs. Earle 81 Sons will take subscriptions
for copies. In addition to these, the exhibition
will contain new work by Xanthus Smith, "The
Fight Between the Monitor and the Merrimac, "
which the artist witnessed, and by Hamilton,
Wilcox, Moran and Others
One of the most attractive features of the eX-
hibition will be a number of the most popular
chromo-lithograph of the day side by side with
the originals so that the public will be able to
judge of the faithfulness of the copies. Those
who are interested in chromo-lithography will
derive pleasure from the inspection of volume
which explains the whole process at glance.
Eastman Johnson's illustration of Whittier
Barefoot Boy is exhibited in dissected state;
that is, an impression from each separate stone
is given, and on the opposite page the effect
produced by the successive printngs, thus show
ing the gradual growth of the picture under the
photographic artists hands. Most persons have n
general idea as to the manner in which these
pictures are produced and all who are at all
interested in the subject will be pleased to see
the process thus clearly explained,

has been aroused by the direful condition OF
the country, and has apparently become i'm
pressed with the Idea that he Is the only man
capable of saving us from impending ruin. He
has therefore electrified himself not the Senate
or the country, by several extraordinary speeches,
which might do credit to some of the members
Of the junior class Of our High School.
Making speech is an event of
some moment In Sprague's career and
he therefore was careful to prepare the
Senate and the country by circulating rumors
and limiting darldy as to the tremendous char
acter of his performances. But alasl 1t is the old
story Of the mountain that brought forth mouse,
and Senator spraguo was delivered of very
small and insignificant mouse indeed, yesterday.
His speech was rambling dsquistion about
everything in general and nothing in particular,
q modest depreciation of himself and grand
giorifcation of Sprague, and with a noiuete
which is perfectly charming, he acknowledged
that, not having sufficient ability himself, he had
procured the services of some one else to write
out his remarks, although he insisted that the
ideas were all his own-and well they might be.
Mr. Sprague's colleague, Senator Anthony,
mado reply, which we fear will effectually
deter that gentleman from making any more
speeches, and ho administered an effcctual
quetus by CHASING Spraguo with Colorado
Jewett and George Francis Train, and by assert
ing, amid the laughter of the Senators and the
galleries, that, notwithstanding the dreadful con-
dition of our national affairs, with Mr.. Sprague
as a leader Mr.. Colorado Jewett in diplomacy,
and Mr.. George Francis Train in general states
manship, there was still hope for the country.
The only objection we have to this classification
is that it is too complimentary to Sprague, and
we are anxious to hear what Jewctt and Train
have to say about admitting him to companion
ship with them.

IT SEEMS difficult, if not impossible to set Il
limit to the misconduct of the present Legisa-
ture. Each new day adds new act of infamy
to its disgraceful record, and if the avowed OBJ
ject of its sessions to thwart the interests of
the people of Philadelphia, 1t cosdd scarcely
adopt more unjust and odious measures than
those which meet its approval. We notice that
the Age unites with the Republican press Of the
city in strongly condemning the action of the
Democratic Senators who voted for the Cattle bill,
and it confesses that ''the masses of the party in
this city are justly excited and indignant at the
conduct of some of their representatives" Yester
day the bill postponing the removal of the railway
tracks on Broad street rushed through the
Senate, and subsequently passed in the House,
but there motion for its reconsideration fortu-
nately prevailed. Aside from these recent acts,
the spectacle of grave Legislators suddenly
changing the laws of the State in reference to
the commutation of punishment for murder, at
the bidding of the friends of q convicted fclon,
was to the last degree revolving and disgraceful.
1t may may not be right to allow the Gov
ernor to commute the death penalty, but 1t
certainly wrong for the men who misrepresent
the State to suddenly authorize such n radical
change in criminal Jurisprudence for the avowed
purpose of preventing the execution of Il con-
! demned prisoner.
