FOR THE PRESS AND BANNER.
EDUCATIONAL.

The exhibition and examination OF
the Mulberry School of colored pupils
in Calhoun Township, taught by al,
fred Burton, came off on Saturday,
10th inst. The school, numbering
IS, generally stood q good exalnina-
ton in spelling and reading, ESQ said
competent judges,) and did credit to
themselves in delivering their pieces
of poetry and speeches, considering
the short time they had been going to
school. There was a good substantial
dinner, and every person had plenty
and were we'll pleased. The Abbc-
Vile Brass Band gave some good mu-
sic during tho day, and everything
passed off quietly and orderly. We
are gratiied to say that we believe
we have the best and most energetic
Boards of School Trustees in the
County, and We have every reason to
believe that our public schools vii
improve under their guidance.

PHILADELPHIA AND NETWORK.
New York has at last walked up to the knowl-
edge that there is power in the country out
side of the Metropolis. Its chagrin in making
this avowal appears to be equalled by its fears,
especially as relates to the advantage given
Philadelphia over New York city. The tre-
mendous strides of the Pennsylvania Com
paDy strike New York with horror and dis
may. Philadelphia, after centreing here the
trade of the West and South, has annexed
New York itself, and with its line
of ocean steamers presently to be
built, it will speedily be the commercial, as it
has long been the manufacturing, emporium
of the country. The work of the Pennsyl
vania Company has been so quiet and thor
ough, so rapid but at the same time SO un-
demonstrative, that as the grand total of re-
suits achieved is spread before the public, the
Metropolis stares and gasps in bewilderment.
There is, further, SO marked difference be-
tween the legitimate business enterprise of
our great railway and the corruption
and chicanery characteristic of Erie
and other New York corporations,
that the result as now made known provokes
at the other end of the New Jersey branch of
the Pennsylvania Central as much incredulity
as surprise. The press of New York is given
largely to bewailing over these late railway
developments, and to predicting disastrous
effects from such instances of vast concen-
trated power. The Tribune yesterday had
three columns on the subject, and the other
leading morning and evening papers were
largely devoted to it. In fact, it is as i'm
portant a matter to New York as can we'll be
imagined. But what is that village to do?
1t has been outgeneralled, and the country
knows it. There is nothing to do but to
submit

OBITUARY,
Edwin CrosweIl, Politician and Jour
iah

Edwin CrOsweIl, Politician and Jour
nalist.
On Tuesday last Mr.. Edwin Croswell. at one
time very noted journalist and politician, died
at Princeton, N. j., in the seventy-fifth wear of
his age. He was born at Catskill, N Y, May
~, l797 On leaving school he entered at once
the field OF newspaper work, and became as
slstant editor of the Catskill Recorder, which
had been started in 100 by his father, the noted
tederalist, afterwards the Rev. Harry Croswell
Inc son, however, took the opposite side from
the father and professed Democratic principles.
In 1924 Mr.. Croswell went to Albany and took
charge of the Argus, and also became the State
printer, succeeding Judge Cantine in the editor
ship of the paper.
He changed the Argus from a semi-weekly to
a daily, and made its career under his manage
ment a noted success. 1t soon became one of
the chief organs of the Democracy of the State.
Mr.. Croswell was member of the Democratic
''Albapy Regency" under the rule of which the
party enjoyed its most palmy days and the best
organization it ever had. The Argus was the
monitor of the party, and its doctrines were un-
questioned and strictly obeyed.
In 1940 the Wings obtained power. Then
the Regency" fell, aud with it the position of
Mr. Croswel. At that time he lost the office of
State printer, which he had beld for sixteen
years, and was succeeded by Thurlow Weed
Four years afterwards he regained the position
but then was able to hold it only for three years
more. AT that time the Democratic party was
once more dethroned, and it did not revive from
the effects of the shock for some years. The
intestine difficulties which had been riaidly
repressed under the Regency now broke out
with great violence. Van Buren,, who had
before been working with Mr.. Croswell, now
took the lead of a faction which the Argus op-
posed. The Argus suffered in the struggle, and
the power and standing of its editor declined,
though the paper was still power in the State,
and always supported the Democratic nominees
for national offices. .t.
In 1854 Mr.. Croswell retired from all connec-
tion with journalism, after a career of forty
years. He then went to New York city and
engaged in business, but was not very success
full. His wife, whom he married when quite
young, was from New Jersey, and there his
family have resided for some time. His remains
left Princeton on Wednesday night and passed
through New York on Thursday evening on
their way to the old family burying- place at
Catskill, where the funeral will take place to-
! dav.

FEMALE PHYSICIANS.

The action of the Pennsylvania State Medical
Society yesterday in resembling the rule pro-
hibiting members of the profession from
consulting with female physicians, will, we
are sure, be generally approved. The old
rule was notoriously unjust, and the repara-
ton done body of noble and self-sacrifcing
women has been until now shamefully de-
layed. The cry against female physicians
is as foolish as the EXTREMIST of the
social follies that have been exploded in the
past. These doctors are here, doing their
work among us with everincreasing success
and for the male Galens to resolve and fulmi-
nate against them is about as reasonable and
effective as the effort of Mrs. Darlington to
sweep back the Atlantic Ocean. 1t is stated
that the Philadelphia County Medical Society
offers now the only organized opposition to
women physicians. We regard this as a
cloud on the fair fame of the profession here,
and hope soon to see it cleared away. This
city has from the beginning of the Govern
ment led the study of medicine in the United
States, and it should also be in the van of all
essential reforms.

THE PUBLIC BUILDINGS AGAIN.
Our offer made some months since to make our
buildings over to the public, to be used forever by
them, has been promptly accepted, and the public
have already taken formal possession thereof
There are no other buildings In Philadelphia to
which so many Of our citizens resort, sometimes
numbering thousands in a single day. The offer
was made In good faith, and we are pleased with
the acceptance OF it. We will strive to make all
comfortable who come, to say nothing OF the small
incidental matter OF selling to each one new suit of
new clothes.
Our Linen Suits are cool, comfortable for warm
weather, and very cheap. We are receiving new
Thin Garments by the thousands, and we invite an
inspection OF our elegant line OF Ducks, Draps
dEte, Alpacas, Fine Cassimeres and Black Goods
assuring the entire public that in the matter or
prices we have made arrangements TO accommo.
date the most economical.

INDEPENDENTS HALL.

CERTAIN citizens of Philadelphia scout the
idea that Independence Hall and Square are
entitled to any special consideration on ac-
count of their historical association. They
look upon the building as rather shabby old
affair that might as well be torn down, or at
least overshadowed by great structure in
the latest style of modern architecture, and
upon the square as so much waste ground that
might as we'll be put to some profitable
uses. 1t is true that the persons who are of
this way of thinking are limited in number,
and they all own property in the neighbor-
hood of the homely old State House and the
square. If the proposed new public build
ingscan be crowded on Independence Square,
these individuals, who have no romantic no.
tons, who despise sentiment, and who only
look at practical results, will be largely the
gamers, for they and their descendants will
be enabled for an indefinite period to
rent offices to lawyers and others at
exorbitant rates, and thereby enjoy large
profits. There are, however, some persons
in Philadelphia-and we are happy in the be-
lief that they are very largely in the majority
who consider Independence Hall a national
building and Independence Square national
ground. They imagine, and they can scarcely
be considered as weakly sentimental or fool
ishly romantic in doing SO, that the fact that
the old State House was the scene
of great national event, that
it was, In fact the place where
the nation had its birth entitle it to some
consideration, and they believe that it should
be preserved in its integrity as asacred trust,
whether the property holders in the immedi-
ate neighborhood are able to let their rooms
at high rates or not. 1t is evident, however,
that the opinion exists outside Of Philadel-
phia that there is a powerful conspiracy
against Independence Hall and the square.
The people of other portions of
the country do not understand
how powerless the anti-Penn Square
ring really is, and they are therefore justified
in being alarmed lest it should succeed in
having the new public buildings put up on
Independence Square. The resolution offered
in the New Hampshire House of Representa-
tives yesterday requesting the purchase of
Independence Hall and Square by the National
Government, is not complimentary to the
people of Philadelphia, but it cannot be said
that it is unjustiied. The ground and
building are in no danger, but from the per-
formances and utterances of certain newspa-
pers of this city, and of certain men who
profess to represent the respectability and
culture of Philadelphia, strangers might
easily imagine that they were; and it is to be
hoped that the resolution referred to will
have its proper effect in convincing them that
their project for obstru, sting Independence
Square with pile of modern buildings would,
if put in execution, be resented by the entire
natisn as an Outrage. 81.

T. @. L. Brown, Esq, the present Coroner,

doubt, however, that Mr.. Brown did receive

TIE BROAD STREET PA VEMENT.
The Broad street paving bill was debated at
some length in Select Council yesterday and
it was then postponed for two weeks. We are
gratified at the sturdy opposition to the pro-
ject for putting down more plank pavement
on Broad street which was manifested yester-
day. In the face of the fact that the expert
mental plank pavement which was laid few
years ago in the upper part of Broad street
is already worn out, and will probably in a
short time either have to be removed or else
repaired at an immense expense, despe-
rate effort is being made to plank
the whsle thoroughfare from beginning
to end. The worthlessness of the existing
pavement is apparent to the most superficial
observer, and Councils will surely not COM
NIT such piece of folly as to cover the rest
of the street with plsnking which will wear
out and rot at one end before its completion
at the other. Broad street certainly ought to
be paved aud put in good order, and the SUBJ
ject is one that is worthy of all the attention
that members of Councils can give it. There
is sufficient evidence, however, to show that
any other known material for paving is better
iuhn WOou, ana III tne conSAuoho'ioh Vi lno
subject it ought to be an understood thing
that the planks will not be adopted under any
circumstances. The citizens who will
have to foot tie bill for
the improvement of Broad street
will undoubtedly watch the actions of their
representatives in Councils in this matter
very closely, and those who endeavor to in
fict an additional burden upon the tax payers
for an article that is known to be worthless
viii most certainly be called upon to explain
their motives and to give their reasons for
preferring planls to iron or stone or other
substantial paving materials.

This nomination was an eminently proper
one, and it should receive the endorsement
of the people next October Mr. Brown has
filed the Office of Coroner since the death of

by the able manner in which he has performed
his duties. His integrity in unimpeachable,
and there is no doubt that he will serve the
public in the future as well as be has done in
