A Noble aenefaetion.

The Trustees of the Louisville Medical
College, louisville, KY have created one
of the most liberal and noble bcnefactions
ever conferred by public Institution upon
any people. The Trustees of this College
have instituted one Beneficiary Scholarship
for each Congressional District in the South
ern and surrounding States. By this means
v"ry many poor but deserving young men
will be enabled to obtain thorough h medical
education. Any one wishing to take ad-
vantage of this Benefaction which is worth
to each student at least 5000, has only to
write to DR.. E. S. Gaillard, Dean of the Fa-
Guilty of the Louisville Medical College,
Louisville, KY, when he will receive Col
legc catalogue with full information in re-
gard to all that is necessary for him to do to
secure ono of these Scholarships With
proper and welcome delicacy the names Of
those who have secured the Beneficiary
Scholarship will be known only to the Dean
of the Faculty. It is unnecessary to COM
mend those who have established these noble
Beneficiary Scholarships. Their act will
bring them commentator wherever it is
known.
In accordance with the old Hippocratic
oath, forbidding physicians to charge the
families of each other for services rendered,
the Faculty of this College will make no
charge for teaching sons of physicians, and
as no physician charges c,ersym ms family
the sons of clorgymens will receive tile same,
privilege. The next College session begins
October I'd, 1871. AS lecture fees charged
for each student who has not obtained a
Beneficiary Scholarship, amount to $l20,
annually, the public can appreciate the mu,
ni6ccnce Of this benefaction.

that this suggestion will be adopted, as a
large amount can be raised in this way, and
il will afford an opportunity for those who
are unable to give much to contribute their
mites. Many thousand dollars can be real-
lied if every ohurch-goer will give even so
small sum as ten cents, and those who are
poor themselves should give this much for the
relief of the starving millions of France.
This committee also makes the practical
suggestion that as one-third of France has
been devastated, and not only its harvest but
its seed-wheat consumed, the farmers of the
United States shall endeavor to send out seve-
raj cargoes of seed-wheat to France, to be
distributed among the small farmers. few
bushels of wheat, which any farmer in this
land can easily spare, will do vast amount
of good, and if all combine in the good work
a great and permanent benefit will be con-
ferred. Many of the railroad companies have
offered free transportation for this wheat and
arrangements have been made for its storage
and transportation. England, Belgium, Hol-
land, and Switzerland are all making great
efforts to afford immediate relief to the
French sufferers, and the United States should
not be behind hand in such a noble work.

The STEVENS BATTERY.
The Marine Monster Nearly Ready for Son
Description of tho Vessel.

The Marine Monster Nearly Ready for Soa-
Description of tho Vessel.
The Stevens gunboat which has been so long
in building, and the success of which has been
so doubted, is nearly completed, and will be
ready for launching in June at the farthest
Most of the machinery is in position, and the
vessel will be completed during this and the next
month, with the exception of portion of the
joiners work. She has four engines, aggrega-
ting 5000-horse power. These engines have
forty-flve inch stroke and run two immense
propellers. The vessel is 40 feet in length, is
5000 tons burden and draws % feet of water,
being only two feet above water-line. Ventila-
tors are supplied, by which it is believed
full supply of air can be furnished below decks.
She is built for turret SO feet in diameter, aud
is calculated to carry two of the heaviest 90
inch guns. Her armor will probably be of g.
inch wrought iron, bolted to q thickness of 10
inches. Her boilers are ten in number, and are
heated by thirty furnaces. Mr.. Stevens, In his
will, bequeathed this immense concern to the
State of New Jersey. 1t is not known whether
the State can hold the bequest, but if 1t can
accept the bequest it will probably dispose of it
in some way. So that in any event the battery
will pass into the hands of our own or some
foreign government. 1t is not intended to arm
the vessel until after she shall have been finally
disposed of In some way, since the purchasing
government will probably have some special in
structions regarding its armament.

TBE COMMISSION SCHEME.

The convention called to revise the rules of the
Republican party of Philadelphia has followed
the example of the State Central Committee
in denouncing the scheme to hand over seve-
raj important departments of the city govern
ment to new commissions, composed partly of
Democrats and partly of Republicans, and any
Philadelphia Republican member of the
House or Senate who favors this monstrous
proposition will evidently provoke the intense
indignation of betrayed constituency. 1t is
to be feared, however, that the snake,
though scotched, is not yet killed.
prominent Democratic member of the
Legislature has boasted that if the bill passes
it will be Immediately signed by the Cover
nor; and as the Democrats are ready to sup
port il as party measure, the detection of
q few venal or weak Republican members
will secure its passage To blind the eyes of
the public it has been proposed to insert in
the early stages of the Commission bill or
bills the names of well-known and respect
able Philadelphians as commissioners, and
then, when Indignation is allayed by this de-
vice, to substitute for such citizens hackneyed
and serviceable partisans. This trick and
others equally deceptive, may be resorted
to; and the only safe Fground to
take is to insist that the Legislature shall not
undertake to create any more commissions, of
any character, for the government of Phila-
delphia. Those now in existence are COM
posed chiefly of estimable citizens who enjoy
the public confidence, but their success
affords no indication of what is to be expected
from commissioners made up of poorer mate
rial It is especially dangerous to create
commissions endowed with a large amount of
patronage, as highway or water commission
necessarily would be; and the existing system
of levying taxes in New York shows what is
to be expected from a partisan tax COM
mission. If we are to have municipal elec-
left for the people to govern, and the mag
mates at Harrisburg should not steal from
them the power of determining by their votes
q few of the questions in which they are
deeply interested. One of the most serious
perils of the hour is the danger that all the
rights and privileges Of the people will in
time be handed over to irresponsible and un-
scrupulous commissions, and that our citizens
will wake up some fine morning to find that
they have been tied hand and foot by
few knots of politicians who will thenceforth
poration system. At all events, it is clear
that the present Legislature is not disposed
to make any good commissions for us, and
that, if the backbone of its Republican men,
bers is not stiffened, some very bad and dan
gerous commissions will be spawned at the
present session.

THE MAaN1F1oENoE of the diamond given a
a Christmas present to William M. Tweed,
the king of the New York ring, was described
in an article recently published in The TELE-
GRAPH. Beautiful and expensive as this rich
gift is, we are surprised that his admirers did
not add to it many other gems of even greater
value, and combine them together asa crown.
Since Tweed wields sovereign power, why
should he not wear its appropriate emblem
He has erected on the ruins of Republican
freedom kingdom of corruption and fraud,
and since his courtiers insist on compliment
ing him for his audacity, they should not rest
content with the gift of one paltry diamond,
when whole caskets of gems are bestowed
upon other enthroned oppressors.

IT is suRM1sED, in some quarters, that
during the grand pow-wow which is about to
take place at Washington between the Ame-
rican and British treaty commissioners, the
project of settling up all old accounts by
transfer of the New Dominion to the United
States will be secretly if not openly discussed.
The President is said to be devout wor-
shipper of the Misunderstanding doctrine, and
if his project for annexing Dominica is de-
feated he may direct his attention to the
Northern frontier, with a prospect of COB
bling up the Ksnucks As matters stand now
New England is disposed to growl at any new
accessions of Southern territory, but if the
balance of power could be changed by the
acquisition of huge slice of Northern terri
tory, she mighs change her notions about
annexation very quickly.

THE SUFFERING FRENCH.

The greatest evil of war is not perhaps in
the loss of life and the suffering from dread
full wounds that occur among the actual co n
batants, but it is rather in the fearful distress
that inevitably follows in the wake of con-
tending armies among the people of the
country which is the scene of conflict. Dur
ing the present war in Europe France has
been the chief sufferer apart from any con-
sideration of national humiliation involved in
defeat. An immense portion of her territory
has been overrun by armies engaged in
deadly strife, and as an inevitable conse-
quence of such O war her towns and villages
have been destroyed, her people driven from
their homes, her harvests trampled under
foot, and thousands of poor people who
found it hard to live under
the best circumstances are now in
the bitter winter weather houseless,
homeless, and utterly without food or the
means of obtaining it. The claims which the
people of France present under their present
circumstances to the sympathies of the world
are entirely apart from any political conside-
rations, and it is the duty of people every
wheref no matter what their opinions may be
in regard to the merits of either side of the
quarrel between France and Germany, to
take prompt action for the relief of those
whom the fortunes of war have reduced to a
most pitiable condition.
The United States Government has pro-
vided vessel to transport TO France such
provisions as the people of the United States
may contribute, and action has been taken in
a number of our principal cities TO supply her
with cargo. 1t is to be hoped that in this
matter Philadelphia will sustain her ancient
reputation for philanthropy. A meeting was
held at the Mayors Office yesterday to take
the subject into consideration, and his Honor
viii to-day appoint a committee to receive
contributions and to superintend the trans
portation of them to their proper destination.
The call which this committee will make upon
the citizens of Philadelphia should receive, as
it undoubtedly viii, prompt and generous
response. h
The French Relief Committee of the New
York Oh 'mber of Commerce has issued an
