SAD INFATUATION.

MANY people, as the knights Templar swept
in gorgeous array through the streets the
other day, envied those latter-daY pill
grims their grand merry go-rounder of the
next three menths, and the accounts fur
nished of their doings on the way TO New
York and in that city are not reassuring to
those who would Glove to roam''-but can't.
Whatever else they may be, the Sir Knights
appear to be men of ''unbounded stomach"
Here is tidy preparation for their pilgrim
age. On the train from Philadelphia the tour
lists were abundantly regaled by their friends.
On arriving in Jersey City the guests were CON-
veyed to Taylor's Hotel, where a collation.
embracing all the delicaces of the season
was partaken of. Thereafter they crossed to
New York, and marching to the st. Nicholas,
sat down to a grand dinner. And after din
ner the fortunate, or unfortunate, pilgrims
we're seized by the Ivanhoe Commandery and
forced somehow or other to dispose of an
elaborate strawberry supper. This, it must
be remembered, was before the pilgrims
left their native shores to fall into the
hands of people who will make an
especial point of their hospitality. At this
salem, they will be ready to buy up all the
stray copies of ''Banting" which the book
sellers of the Holy Land can furnish them.
Their dearest friends would not be able to
recognize them, and the band will not be able
to blow single note out of its once melli-
fuous throat. And yet such is the perversity
of human nature, and so little do the most
painful warnings impress us, that it is pro-
bable that so, 900 Philadelphians would madly
rush after the pilgrims if they could get the
chance, and willingly suffer all the conse-
quences.

TUESDAY JUNE 1871

to stand in the way Of punishment for crime,
and that If they will commit murder the gal
lows will be their doom. If Miss Harris, who
shot her sometime lover in Washington
few years ago because be preferred to marry
another woman, and few other female
criminals who have made themselves amenable
to the laws by their too ready use of the pis-
tol, had suffered as they deserved to do, the
probabilities are that Mrs. Fair would not
have been placed in her present predicament.
As it is, she fully merits the doom which now
awaits her, for the murder of Crittenden is
not the only crime of the kind of which she
is guilty, and the death penalty might as we'll
be abolished altogether if it is not enforced
in her case. The Governor of California
now has an opportunity to perform an i'm
portant service TO the country by sternly re-
fusing to interfere in behalf of Mrs. Fair,
who deserves nothing whatever at his hands,
and if her sentence is carried out it will have
a greater moral effect than the hanging of a
dozen men, and it will exert powerful in
huence in checking the murderous propensi-
ties of handsome female fends who con-
slider that they now have license to kill at
pleasure.

TIE ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS.

THE ACADHMY OF FINE Ants.
The report made yesterday at the annual
meeting of the stockholders of the Academy
Of Fine Arts can scarcely be very satisfactory
to the friends Of the institution. The Aca-
DENY, it appears, owns property-exclusive of
its art collection-to the value Of $147, 800,
nearly the whole of which is SO tied up that
it is not available for practical purposes, but
on the contrary is eating itself up
at q somewhat rapid rate. Money has to be
paid out for necessary expenses, but nothing
of any consequence is coming in. 1t is pro-
posed to borrow on mortgage on one of the
lots owned by the Academy the sum of $4,000
to meet probable loss on real estate, interest
and taxes, and as an offset to this we are in
formed that the sum of $1,000 has been
placed in the hands of the Trea-
surer as contribution towards
the erection of new galleries. The
present, it appears, is not considered an auspi-
cious time for an appeal for funds towards
new Academy, and active operations are to be
deferred until next year, when the directors
will signalize themselves by a combined
attack upon the pockets of the moneyed men
of Philadelphia. We hope the attack will be
successful, but doubt whether it will unless a
new and more liberal policy is adopted for the
management of the institution. Money can be
obtained Just as well this year as next, if
those who have the means to contribute can
be convinced that they will get return for
their investments in the shape of an Art Aca-
DENY that will be really creditable to the
city, that will be valuable public institution
and not mere plaything for few gentlemen
of elegant leisure.
Weregret that the comments of The TELE-
GRAPH do not appear to have been accepted in a
proper spirit by the directors of the Academy,
and we consider the little outburst with re-
gard to this journal which took place at the
meeting yesterday as entirely uncaled for.
We have been unable to see why board of
directors who have not been able to manage
their own institution should desire to obtain
jurisdiction over another one that is doing a
good work in a quiet, unostentatious
way, and we accordingly expressed
hope that the School of Design
for Women would not be united with the
Academy of Fine Arts. We see nothing in
the report made yesterday to induce an altera-
ton of our original opinion on this subject,
which is that such change would swamp the
School of Design and destroy its usefulness.
With regard to the statement that the Super
intendent of the School of Design wrote
the article condemning the proposed con
solidation of the two schools, we can only
enter an express denial. The gentleman
in question never wrote an editorial for The
TELEGRAPH in his life, and in all probability
he never will. The directors of the Academy
of Fine Arts will do better to study the facts
which we present from time to time for their
consideration, and to consider candidly the
good advice we offer them, rather than to
worry themselves about who writes our arti-

CIYLL- -SERRICE REBORN.

PRESIDENT GRANT has at last taken such action
as Congress has warranted in the matter of
the reform of the civil service. The appro-
priation bill approved March 3, 1871, con-
tanned provision authorizing the promulga-
tion of rules for the admission of persons to
the civil service of the country, and the ex-
animation of candidates in regard to their
personal ftness for the positions to which
they aspire. From the character of the names
announced as members of the board to carry
out the provisions of the act, the people
have good cause to hope for gratifying
results from the experiment about to be
made. The list is headed by George William
Curtis, Esq, one of the most accomplished
men of the day, whose earnest advocacy of
political reform in the public press and on
the rostrum shows his heart to be in the
cause. Then comes James Medill, Esq, the
able editor of the Chicago Tribune, who, as
member of the recent Constitutional Conven-
ton of Illinois, displayed an equal earnestness
in the cause of reform. He was the author
of the provisions in the new Con-
stitution of Illinois which estab-
lish the system of cumulative
voting and may be expected to further the
cause of civil service reform in every pos
sible way. The next name on the list is that
of the Hon. Alexander G. Cattell ex-United
States Senator from New Jersey, whose record
in the highest legislative body of the country
was unusually pure and public-spirited.
Senator Cattell has filed the highest position
in the gift of the people of his State, and has
now Withdrawn from the field of partisan
politics. He is therefore in a position of
absolute independence, and by his ex-
perience of public life is rarely fitted
to discharge his new duties with an
eye single to the interests of the
public service. The other three members of
the board are connected with the executive
departments at Washington, and doubtless
have had enough experience with incompe-
tent public servants to inspire an earnest
desire for securing a better class of men.
They know precisely what requirements are
needed in the civil service, and may be ex-
pected to insist Tigidly on excluding all appli-
cants who do not come up to a fair standard
of merit Altogether, the experiment about
to be inaugurated will be made under favor
able auspices, and if the hands of the board
are strengthened by the Presidents support,
excellent results may be anticipated.

Mrs. LAURA D. Fans counsel having failed
10 obtain for her new trial, she has been
sentenced to be hanged on the 2sth of July.
There is natural repugnance to seeing the
extreme penalty of the law visited upon a
woman, but a number of circumstances would
render clemency in this case grievous
wrong to society, and it is to be
hoped that Mrs. Fairs sentence will be
carried out to the letter. 1t is highly i'm
