The convention met at the appointed time,
was respectable In number and talent, dele
gates reporting from all parts Of the country.
The proceedings, however, seem 10 have
been very duh and unlnteresting, as glance
at the report will show. The convention
evidently wanted 70 express Its Views on the
valuable use TO which art could be put In
promoting the interests OF a people, and
what ought to be done by the Government
10 protect and encourage IL, especially that
OF native geniusj but these objects are not
clearly set forth In the report, which is a
very weak, unsatisfactory document,
In short, though there were a number OF
speakers In the convention, II seems to have
been sadly In need Of some one capable Of
making favorable impression In behalf OF
art, while stating the objects intended 10 b

IT APPEARS that the Government officials in
the Territories have invented an ingenious
scheme for doubling their salaries Not salts
fed with gobbling up one appropriation from
Congress, which is all they are entitled to,
they obtain second from their friends in the
Territorial Legislatures, the whole bill coming
out of the capacious pockets of Uncle Sam.
This abuse has become so fragrant that a bill
to check it is about to be reported in the
House of Representatives, so that the honor
able gentlemen who flourish as officials in the
Far West may be told in direct terms that they
shall not steal.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD and
other similar enterprises will require at least
one thousand locomotives, many of which
will be built in Philadelphia, at the great
locomotive workshops of this city. The cost
of these expensive engines will scarcely be
less than from $12,OOO,OOO to $15,OOO,OOO,
and large portion of this money will be paid
out to skilled mechanics in this city and State
if the Public Ledger does not succeed in stop
ping the great enterprises that require
these huge supplies. Let the laborious work
ingmen who are attached to the great bee
hives of industry ask their foremen and en-
ployers about this matter, and see where their
interests lie.

THE MOUNTAINS that look on Marathon, and
Marathon that looks on the sea, are appa-
rently about to witness another contest that,
if of somewhat different character from
the one that made the spot historic, is still
not without interest The battle this time is
not for the freedom of Greece, but for the
liberation of q party of unfortunate tourists
from the hands of band of Greek brigands,
unworthy descendants of heroic sires The
brigands have demanded an immense ransom
for their prisoners, and they released one of
them to obtain the money. He appears to
have stirred up the authorities and we are
now informed that the brigands are sur
rounded by troops, but that they retain their
prisoners and absolutely refuse to surrender.
A battle therefore is imminent, and perhaps
our next intelligence will be that the soil of
Marathon has again been stained with blood.
1t is to be hoped that the rascals will not
take q notion to murder the unfortunate
people in their custody out of revenge for
this impertinent interference, and that the
troops will succeed in catching the whole
band of outlaws and furnishing them accord
ing to their deserts.

Nova SCOTIA, the land of the Bluenbses,
is deeply discontented with the financial dis
aster and oppressive taxation produced by
the formation of the New Dominion. She
wishes to have no lot or share in that part
nership, and her people have an unconquera-
BILE aversion to the domination of their Otta-
wa masters. The latest expression of this
dissatisfaction was made in series of reso-
lutions recently offered in the Nova Scotia
Assembly, which set forth in very forcible
terms the prevailing desire for independence,
and this in the natural course of things,
would be the precursor of annexation to the
United States.

ANY CAREFUL reader of theresolution recently
passed by the United States Senate granting
necessary legislation to the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company, who has also read the
attacks upon the projectors of that enterprise
which have recently appeared in the Public
Ledger, will be amazed at the wilful misstate-
ments with which those attacks abound. We
have not time to point out all those glaring
errors in detail, but an idea of their magni-
tude may be formed from the fact that while
the Ledger has been asseverating that the
company were to obtain ''half the land in
belt hundred miles across the continent, no
such additional privilege has been granted,
and not single acre is to be added to the
amount guaranteed to the company by the
act of 1864. The new law will not increase
bya rood the area originally bestowed. 1t will
only extend the region from which selections
are to be made, for the purpose of enabling
the company to make good deficiencies along
the route which have arisen from the pre-
occupations of territory by emigrants. The
Ledger also alleges that the new legislation
may be construed to include the most valu-
able mineral lands and choice lands every
where, if owned by the United States, while
the joint resolution expressly excepts ''such
mineral and other lands as are excepted in
the original charter of said company in 1864"
If that journal is determined to persist in its
attempts to cast discredit upon an enterprise
which will confer immense benefits upon the
people of this city and this State, it should at
least avoid direct and palpable perversions of
the truth. The Ledger has the common
journalistic privilege of expressing its views
upon public measures of all sorts, but it
abuses this privilege when it INDUCES in reck-
less assaults upon the integrity of the men
who are engaged in forwarding such great
enterprises as the Northern Pacific Railroad,
backing up its assaults, as it does, with asser-
tions which are malicious and false in almost
every particular.

AT LEAST $4,000 car wheels will be required
for the Northern Pacific Railroad, many of
which will be made by Whitney & Sons in
this city and other Pennsylvania establish
ments if the policy of the Ledger in croak-
ing against all progressive measures don't
succeed in snatching this great order from the
workmen of these establishments. What
should Congress do under these circum-
stances?-keep the wild lands for the savages
and wild animals for half a century, or have
road opened to the fertile new regions and
remunerative employment furnished to thou
sands of American artisans?

A GRAND MASS MEETING of the buffaloes,
wolves, prairie-dogs, and the scalp-hunting
savages should be held to pass avote of
thanks to the Public Ledger for its OPP
position to the Northern Pacific Rail-
road and similar enterprises. If its adj
vice is needed the civilization and settlement
ofthenorthern portion of the great West will be
greatly retarded, and that fair portion of the
earth will still be rendered hideous by the
atrocities of barbarism, while the Pennsyl-
vania furnaces, forges, rolling mills, and
machine shops will stand idle, and their
present denizens search in vain for employ

sense of the word. His earnest and hearty
advocacy of the rights of the Chinese did not
impair but rather strengthened his love and

The BURLINGAME TREATY between China
and Russia has been signed by the latter
power, and the great work of the lamented
diplomatist is completed, and the embassy
of which he was the honored leader will re-
turn to their homes with the consciousness
that through the instrumentality of.this large
hearted and large-minded American they have
achieved results for China that cannot but
influence in a most powerful manner its

graduation that the labors of the embassy
were so nearly completed before MIR. Bur-
lingame was called away, and the disin-
terested and truly noble manner in which
he accepted this mission, and both in
America and Europe advocated the claims
of the Chinese to be admitted into the great
family of civilized nations, and to be treated
by other powers with that equity and regard
for mutual rights that the civilization of the
century demands, will entitle him to
be held in grateful remembrance by
the people whose cause he so ably
advocated. Mr.. Burlingame was in
tensely American, and because he was so he
was cosmopolitan in the largest and truest

COUNTING the manufacturers of railroad
iron, locomotive builders, car-makers, car
wheel constructors, and turn-table manu-
facturers, the Northern Pacific Rail-
road will give employment for several years
to at least from 10000 to $4,000 of the skill
full and industrious workingmen of Philadel-
phia, who in turn support by their labors
one-tenth of our entire population. The
PubISc Ledger is endeavoring to prevent the
construction of this road. Under the pre-
tence of cautioning capitalists who are quite
shrewd enough to take good care of their own
interests, it is striving to thwart an enterprise
that will put more money into the pockets of
Philadelphia mechanics than any public work
that was ever constructed in this country.
We can imagine no better way to cripple the
supporters of that journal and to injure this
city.

which will be made in Pennsylvania. The
chief item in the cost of these rails, which
