PORTRA ITS OF OUR MA YORS

Mr.. W. T. SMITH started good artistic idea
in Select Council yesterday, which both
chambers endorsed, and which we believe
will be cordially approved by all the citizens
of Philadelphia. This was to appoint joint
committee to ascertain the cost of procuring
portraits of the Mayors of Philadelphia since
consolidation; and we presume that if the
artists are found to be sufficiently reasonable
in their charges, Councils will readily con-
sent to appropriate the funds necessary for
carrying out the idea. We believe that there
are photographs and other authentic like
nesses of Judge Conrad, the first Mayor
after consolidation, in existence, while all of
his successors are still living; and they are
all fine subjects for artistic treatment. Judge
Conrad had a noble physiognomy, while it
would be difficult to find four more charac-
teristic heads than those which adorn the
shoulders of Richard Vaux, Alexander Henry,
Morton McAIichael, and Daniel M. Fox. The
portraits of these gentlemen will make an ex-
cellent beginning for a municipal portrait
gallery that will be one of the attractions of
the new municipal buildings to be erected
upon Penn Squares. There are halt. a.
uOZ6u dfllStb dJ i6dSI III IHllduelpllla
who could paint these portraits in an emil
nently satisfactory manner, and at the very
highest price that is likely to be charged by
the painters of the best reputation the
cost of procuring them cannot be sufficiently
great to cause much hesitation about the
propriety of giving the order. TIE city of
Philadelphia in its corporate capacity has
done little or nothing to encourage artists,
and if it were possible to extend Mr. Smiths
proposition so as to include the portraits of
all the Mayors of Philadelphia from the foun-
dation of the city, the artists would have cause
to rejoice and we would obtain at once a gal
lery of pictures of the greatest interest and
value,

se,y- WHERE SHALL THE COURT HOUSE B

ssSss WHERE SHALL THE COURT HOUSE BE
LOCATED This is an exceedingly important
question. And how shall it be answered? There
are two factions each having favorite theory as to
the location of the new building One party strongly
asserts that shall stand where is now the cor
of Sixth and Chesnut that this spot is the cen
ire of the city, and that tlgants lawyers and wit
nesses will be seriously inconvenience If it be put
anywhere else. This party forgets the immense
grow tn of the city, and that OF the old land
marks, which were once so prominent, no longer
exist; that the tide of business has lowed during
the last ten years, and is still howing almost
monthly in a western direction
A simple fact will be sufficient. 1t will be remem-
bered that in 1S45, the Messrs. Bailey, Levy, and
others Of equal note had their places of business in
Chestnut street. between Fourth and Fifth that Farr
and the Messrs. Kelly, we'll known fashionable
and artistic tailor had their shops in the same To-
cGlity Where are they now :? The Kellys at Jun-
per and Cheshut; Hadeigh, Levy's successor, in
Chestnut street, near Eleventh; the Messrs. Bailey
atithe corner OF Twelfth and Chesnut; and George
w. Farr in Ninth street, Market. All these
are sharp, keen men of business, and had
not the times urged 1t, would never
have moved their business localities
They pay higher rents where they are, and make
as much money as before Now, should the Court
House be moved to West Penn Square, these men
and hundred others are as near the new Court
House as the old. Again, say the advocates OF the
Washington Square building, it will be so much
farther for a Market street merchant, If he have
suit, to go to Penn Square. Not bit, The street
cars TO completely obviate distances, and it is
no inconvenience for sutor and his witnesses
to be at Penn Square than at Chestnut street, The
time expended is the same, the trouble of arriving
there the same and there will be certainly more
time expended in the trial of a at Broad street
than at Sixth ana Walnut streets AS far as the
Criminal Court is concerned, it will be precisely the
same as the parties in that court are generally
brought up in the van The lawyers will be COM
PEELED to move their professional Lares and Penates
little further westward, and that will be the only
inconvenience. 1t

THE PUBLIC BUILDINGS.


IF our ancestors had selected the site for what
is now known as Independence Hall with
exclusive reference to their own convenience,
and to the centre of business and population
in their day, it would have been located near
Front and Market or Front and Chestnut.
They had sense enough nd patriotism enough,
however, to see that westward the star of
empire takes its way, carrying with it bust
ness as well as population and buildings,
and to erect the great public ediice of their
period on the outskirts of the city, as it then
existed. Stupidity and selfshness should not
be allowed to prevent us from adopting SINH
lar policy now. The advocates of Washington
Square tell us that it is now the bu 3iness
centre, and this assertion may be nearly COR
rect, but they tax public credulity fearfully
when they aver that business centres do not
change. Who does not know that there has
been a westward business movement of at
least three squares during the last ten or fif-.
teen years? Why were the newspaper offices
which advocate Washington Square removed
from Third or Fourth and Chestnut streets to
Sixth or Seventh and Chestnut? Why was the
Post Office removed from Third and Chestnut
able stores and the leading hotels which were
formerly located east of Sixth street now
nearly all located west of Eighth street?
Why was the Mermantile Library removed
from Fifth street to Tenth? Why are some
of the comparatively new banks and insur-
ance offices located west of Eighth street?
Why have merchants who formerly did an
immense business on Second street opened
stores on OF west of Eighth street? Why have
hundreds of dwellings on Walnut, Chestnut,
and Arch streets, west of Sixth, been con-
verted into offices or stores during the last
few years? There is but one answer to
these interrogations Business, as we'll
as population, moves westward. If Washing
ton Square is the business centre to-day, it
cannot long remain so in this progressive
age; and if business moves westward as
rapidly during the next twenty-five years as
it has during the last quarter of century,
by the time the proposed new public build
ings are erected, Broad and Market will be
as near to the business centre as Washington
Square, while for the accommodation of
future generations, as we'll as of the masses
of the people, it will be infinitely the best
site

must be given him for his efforts to retrieve
it 10 the utmost of his ability At the same
time, the identification of Lyons was due
quite as much to good luck as to good man
agementYand his case and that Of Mason will
be a warning to all officers of justice em-
powered to decide upon the fitness OF bail
offered for notorious criminals to exercise a
more rigid scrutiny than ever into the char
acer of the security. Mason was released
upon the bond of a professional bail
goer who was, we'll aware of
the character of bis man and the risks he
ran: and as Mason, owing to his prof essional
engagements in a neighboring State, was not
on hand when his case was called in court,
his bail has been declared forfeited II
it is true that he has been arrested, and he is
produced here, an effort will undoubtedly he
made to release John Stephenson, the pro-
fessional bail-goer who turned him loose
upgn society after he was once fairly ia the
the clutches of the law, from the penalty to
which he is now liable. We hope sincerely
that the Judges will not show Stephenson
any favor in this matter, but will decide
that he is not entitled to consideration,
and that he must pay the
penalty to which he subjected himself when
he interfered in behalf of Mason. Stephen
son is we'll known to be good for the amount
of NIasons bail bond. and it was for this
reason that the Court was obliged to accept
him. If he can now be made to suffer,
check will be placed upon the business of
professional bail going, aud consequently
upon the thieves who by the payment few
hundred dollars are able to either escape or to
prey upon society while waiting for trial

The Age expresses great admiration for the
Thomas platform on the Chinese question
1t is much more ultra than the resolution
adopted by the late Democratic State Con-
vention in New York, for that merely opposed
the coolie system without venturing to pro-
hibit voluntary immigration from China OF
any other portion of the world. But the Age,
like the General, cares nothing for the ira
dictionary policy of the country, for treaties,
OF for common sense, and it is satisfied only
with the sublime doctrine that the Chinese
''have no right to come heaTr at GU''

II will be seen by an lvertisement in
another column that the President of the
Trades Union Auti- Coolie League and Presi-
dent of the National Hall meeting brands as
a falsehood the assertion made in the adver-
tisipg columns of the Morning Post of the
9th inst, that the Trades Union League had
denounced Hon. William d. Kelley and
pledged itself to support General William B.
Thomas. The pretended resolutions were
pure inventions, and we are astonished to
learn that the Post, after inserting them,
neglected or refused to expose the fraud this
morning, after it had been informed by Mr.
Mowbray that no such resolutions were
adopted. The prospects of General Thomas
must be desperate when such despicable and
dishonest tricks are perpetrated in his behalf,
and they will serve to make his demagogism
on the Chinese question more ridiculous
and revolving than ever.

OUR DEMOCRATIC POLICE.

The following circular, which has been issued
by the Democratic City Executive Committee
to the members of the police force, speaks
for itself Mayor Fox, in his last message 10
Councils, set forth in very explicit manner
the fact that the police force was entirely too
small to perform in proper man
ner its Legitimate duties of
guarding the lives and property of our
citizens, and yet the Democratic managers
are able to make use of the men to promote
their party interests at the coming election.
The Mayor may perhaps say with regard to
this circular that he never endorsed it or
countenanced the use of the police in the
manner indicated, but it is certain that the
Mayor has done nothing to put a stop to
the outrage, and the merest tyro in politics
knows that if any policeman refuses to obey
the behests of the committee he WILL in a
very brief space of time, be retired to private
life. The police force is supported by the
taxpayers for the performance of specific
duties, and it is an outrage of the gro ssest
description for them to be turned into
political machines. Independently of the i'm
propriety of the circular, it is obvious
that while the policemen are acting as Demo
cratic canvassers they cannot be attending to
their Legitimate duties, and the consequence
is that the city will be left to take care of
itself. This circular will give our citizens an
Insight into the manner in which affairs will
be managed wherever the Democrats get the
upper hand, and its perusal ought to decide
any wavering voter who is yet undetermined
as to how he will cast his ballot on Tuesday
