THE moral aspect OF fox-hunung IA now being dis
cussed with much eagerness in England, the advo-
Gates for the sport contending that the amusement
Afforded 20 the human animals Is OF much greater
moment than the trning inconvenience It occasions
to the fox. Some, indeed. contend that the fox
rather likes TO be to death, and all the huntsmen
unite in claiming for the practice OF fox-hunting
oar antiquity, and in contending that the stability
of the British constitution would be endangered by
It's discOntinuanCe on this point the Pdu MAJ Ga

nothing OF the sort, and In its present form pos

tury ago it had little popularity except in few
favored localities, and, in spite Of royal patronage,
the Household has never had Master of Fox
hounds to take rank with the Grand Facouer aud
the Master OF the BuckhOunds. GeTvase Markham,
writing In the seventeenth century, speaks OF the
sport in almost cOntemptuous terms. 'Stag-hunt-
ing he says, lis the most princely and royal chase

GEN. SHERMAN ON STAFF RANK.
VIoE-ADSnRAL PORTER is the Marplot OF the
Navy Department, and ever since he has
occupied his present position of prompter to
the Secretary he has done little but to create
trouble and dissatisfaction in the service. In
the exertions of the staff officers to obtain
proper recognition of their services, Porter
has continually interfered in an underhand
way to prevent them from obtaining the rank
they ask for, although efforts have been made
to,represent him as favoring the claims of
the staff. In the letter accompanying the
bill for the reorganization of the staff corps,
which was ostensibly prepared by the Secre-
tary, stress is laid upon the fact that it is not
so liberal in some respects as the suggestions
of Porter, by which Secretary Robson
apparently endeavors to shield his right
hand man from censure and to represent
him as well disposed towards the staff. There
is no doubt, however, that this Objectionable
bill was Porters own concoction; and now
that the Naval Committee seems likely to re-
commend positive rank for the staff, the
Vice-Admiral comes out hatfooted against it..
A few days ago he wrote very silly letter to
Iuo NdVdl Vi piObOo"Ahto
against the granting of positive rank to the
staff, and now he tries to bring in General
Sherman to support his position. The Gene
rails letter we publish on our third page,
and it will be seen that it is very noncom-
initial, although ostensibly favoring the views
of Porter. General Sherman, however, con-
flutes all the arguments of the Admiral, and
furnishes the strongest argument in
favor of the staff that could be desired, 10y
stating what the status of the army staff is,
and expressing himself as satisfied with it.
Now the naval staff officers demand nothing
more nor less than that they shall be placed
upon an exact and equal footing with their
brethren of the army, exactly as the position
of the army staff is stated by General Sher-
man. 1t is certainly time that this mat
ter was settled definitely and a disgraceful
quarrel that is demoralizing the navy brought
to an end. This cannot be better done than
by taking General Shermans statement of
the status of the staff officers of the army as
guide, and by giving positive rank to the
surgeons, paymasters, and engineers of the
navy accordingly. In this case it appears
likely that Porter will be hoist by his own
petard.

AN IMPERTAL UKAsE, dated the Goth OF November
December III, 1869, has just been published, order
ing the formation OF Russian military railway
corps, "ior the purpose of placing the railways at
the disposal OF the military authorities in time OF
war" The ukase directs that officers taken either
from the regiments or the unattached list shall be
attached to all the lines of railway in the empire
When the length Of the line does not exceed 200
versts, one officer only is to be employed upon 1t II
It is longer two. All these officers will be regarded
as on active service, and will be paid and promoted
like their comrades in the regiments. At the same
time they are to be allowed to receive salaries from
the railway companies to whose lines they are at
tached. After two years OF this apprenticeship they
may remain in the service Of the companies, but in
that case they Will cease to draw military pay In
time OF war all these officers will be placed at the
disposal OF the Minister of War, who will employ
them as station-Inasters, etc.

WE publish in another portion of to-day's
issue an elaborate opinion of Judge Shars-
wood, affirming the constitutionality of the
law creating Board of City Trusts, which is
to have exclusive control of the bequests of
Girard, Boudinot, Grover, Franklin, aud
others. The main ground of the decision is
that the city, as corporation, is a mere crea-
ture of the State, which, through the Legisla-
ture, possesses supreme control over its
official action. If Councils have the power
TO carry the matter up to the Supreme Court
of the United States, they will probably not
lack the disposition to make such an appeal.
If no further legal proceedings are resorted
to, however, the control of the trusts will
pass into the hands of the board appointed
by the city and State judges in August last,
and henceforth the Girard estate will be
under the exclusive control of this body and
its successors.

DESPITE the refusal of Councils to make an
appropriation for tho erection Of the muni-
oipal buildings on Independence Square, aud
despite the efforts made in the Legislature to
secure the passage of law which would give
to the people of Philadelphia an opportunity
of expressing their wishes in regard to a site
for these structures, it is rumored that por-
ton of the Building Commission are so
strongly disposed to ''push things" that they
contemplate cutting down the trees on indie
pendence Square at night, in the hope that
after this mischief is once done all further
agitation of this subject will cease. We trust
that this outrageous proceeding will not be
seriously attempted, but it behoves the
friends of the Penn Square project to be on
their guard, and ready TO apply an injunction
against the first hasty step of the commission,
and the commission should bear Croeletts
maxim in mind, and be quite sure it is right
before it goes ahead.

THE FICKEN SHOOTING CASE

THE FICREN SHOOTING CASE.
RICHARD FIcKEN, whose atrocious attempt on
the life of the boy Arthur d. Curran we re-
ferred to yesterday was arrested and held to
bail yesterday morning in the sum of S25OO
for further hearing, to take place on Satur-
day. In the meantime, the victim of this
outrage is in such procarious condition that
the surgeon is unable to search for the ball,
which yet remains in his leg, and there is
very strong probability that an amputation
may be necessary in order to save his life.
Under these circumstances the amount of the
bail upon which the perpetrator of the fend-
ish act is permitted to go at large is clearly
out of all proportion to the magnitude of his
crime, and Justice demands that he shall be
treated in the same manner as other crimi-
mails, and not be favored because he is
a man of wealth and influence. The facts of
this case have all been set before the public,
and the perpetration of the crime is fastened
upon Ficken in such a manner that there can
be no doubt in the matter, and the proper
course for the officers Of justice is perfectly
clear. This man deliberately fred pistol at
the boy because he was annoyed at having
valentines thrust under his door. That q
murder was not committed was not the fault
of Ficken, for he fred with murdereus intent,
and it is good fortune he does not deserve
that he has kept his neck out of the halter
This whole affair was an outrage that calls
for the most emphatic condemnation, and the
wealth of the criminal should not be allowed
to turn aside the arm of justice or to prevent
his prompt and severe punishment to the full
extent of the law. We hope sincerely tha
this case will be prosecuted with energy, ant
that an example will be made of Flicker
which aiu deter others from f9u9R!?g III

THE POLICE CORRUPTION FUND. The House
of Representatives at Harrisburg yesterday
administered q deserved rebuke to the COM
mittee appointed to ascertain whether cor
rupt means were used to pass or defeat the
Metropolitan Police bill. This committee
came down to the city on Saturday last, but
adjourned without attempting to do anything,
ON the shallow pretense that they could not
proceed to business without the assistance of
a clerk. If no member of the committee had
felt disposed to take notes of the evidence
submitted, they would have found full and
reliable report of it in The EVENING TELE-
GRAPH of the same afternoon, which would
have answered all their purposes The effort
to secure authority to employ clerk failed
yesterday, and resolution discharging the
committee was indefinitely postponed by an
unusually large vote, so that it is evident the
House desires the inquiry to proceed, and
will insist that the committee shall
do its own clerking. There is great danger
that the investigation will be smothered
before anything of Importance or interest
to the public is elioited, and against this
danger the honest members of the House
should take every possible precaution. Mr..
Josephs mounted high horse yesterday, and
denied point-blank every charge of corrup-
ton that was made or insinuated; but it has
become the current rumor on the street that
there was a corruption fund raised to infu.
ence the fate of the bill, and the people have
a right to know the truth in the matter. The
committee should now enter upon the inves
tigation of the case without delay, and give
Mr.. Josephs an opportunity not only to dis
prove the insinuations against the Democratic
members, but to sustain his own insinuationl
against the opposite side.

The BORDER County CLAIMS should be
watched with care. The State has already
been put to an expense of several thousand
dollars under the pretense of collecting these
claims, to an aggregate already of about
$2,OOO,OOO, and if the bill now pending in
the Legislature, which provides for their pay
ment becomes law, this amount will be in
definitely extended. Not one dollar of these
pretended claims should be paid out of the
pockets of the people. If the State once in
augurates such policy, it will not stop short
of bankruptcy. The claims of loyal men in
the South for damages inflicted upon their
property during the war are just as valid, and
every one knows that to liquidate them would
be an absolute impossibility. Human blood
is of more value than the blood of COWS aud
chickens, and the woman who lost husband
in the war has better claim to compensation
than the border county farmer whose pigs
and fence rails were carried OFF by the Rebels

IMMIGRANTS FOR CoIoRADo.-A German emiRrant
party of e;ghty-two families about two hundred in
dvduais, arrived at st. Louis last week from Chi
cagO en route for the Wet Mountain Valley, Colo

comprises cooperative association, formed princi-
paly OF men who have been living, OF them for
years. in and about Chicago Each of them has con-
trDuted two hundred and 1fy dollars at the start to
the common stock. Their lands and live stock in
Colorado are purchased, and they take with them
provisions TO last them till they can raise crop.
They are band OF intelligent and enterprisng az
well as physically able men, and have among them
physician, clergyman, several printers, a number
OF carpenters besides machinists, blacksmiths, and
other craftsmen. They have also with them two
carloads OF blOoded stock, sawmill, planning mill,
a grist mill, and full assortment of other agrlcul-
iura implements. 1t thus appears that their oDject
is to form an agricultural colony"
