tinople, and English Commissioner at the head
quarters Of the French army in the Crimea in
1S55-56 While acting as Charge d d'Affaires at
Constantinople be is credited by KiDglake the
historian, with displaying great foresight in
urging upon the Admiral in command of the
Mediterranean feet the policy of making
demonstration at the critical moment when
Prince Menschikoff, by his domlneeriDg atti-
tude, nearly succeeded in intimidating the Sui
tan and his Ministers.
During the Indian mutiny the command OF
the Central India field force was conferred upon
Lord Strathnairn, and for his services at this
critical period, which eliminated in the fall of
Jhansi, he was created X. G. B., and subse-
quently G. c. B., receiving also the thanks of
Parliament. He was also one of the earliest to
receive the honor of the order Of the Star of
India.
On the return of the late Lord Clyde to Eng
land, Lord Strathnairn became commander-in-
chief in India, and it became his task in this
capacity to superintend the amalgamation OF
the Queens forces with the armies of the late
Fast India Company. The zeal, energy, and
skill displayed by him in this task were instrr-
mental in reforming many Outstanding abuses
and in greatly promoting the comfort and eff
cheney of the troops
In 1865 he resigned the position of Com
mander-in- Chief in India, and subsequently
held the chief command of the forces in Ire
land. On July %, 1866, he was rewarded for
his long and efficient services by being raised to
the peerage as Baron Strathnairn, of Strath-
narn, in the county of Nairn, and of Jbans,
in the Fast Indies. He holds at present the
rank of General in the British army, is Colonel
of the 45th Foot. and is regarded as one of the
best general officers in the British service. 1t
will be seen that he is amply qualified, by ex-
perience for the position to which he is to be
| app ointed.'

pointed

Charles II. Sweetzer, a well-known Journalist,
who has been interested in number of news
paper enterprises, died on the 1st instant at
Pilatka Fla, of consumption. Mr. Sweetzer is
chiefly known as one of the founders of The
Round Table, a weekly literary journal which
for q time promised well, but which from a
variety of causes failed to receive the support
of the pubic. The Round Table was finally
merged into The Citizen, and Mr.. Sweetzer
started the New York Evening Mail in 1867
In about years time he sold out his interest ia
the Euening Mail and started daily morning
paper called the City, which failed to achieve
success. Mr.. Sweotzer then removed to Mime
sofa and started weekly paper
entitled the Mirror, at Minneapolis, but
this also failed, and he accepted the literary ed-
torship of the Chicago Tribune. Last summer
he became alarmed at the symptoms of con-
sumption that manifested themselves and re-
moved to Florida in the hope that he might be
benefited by the climate. He leaves wife and
Child to mourn his loss. Mr.. Sweetzer was q
man of fine literary taste, and an elegant aud
forcible writer He was interested in number
of newspaper enterprises besides those men
toned above, but he lacked business tact or
some other equally important quality, and none
of them was successful. The Round Table was
especially well planned in many respects but
there were some great mistakes in its manage
ment-one of which was its Democratic procli-
vities-that would have doomed to death much
abler literary journals than it ever was.

stephen Glover, popular English story
writer, died in London, on the 7th of December
last at the age of So years. He was the author
of great number of songs many of which
have obtained a permanent popularity. Among
these may be mentioned "Why Do Summer
Roses Fade ?" "The Monks of Old" "The Merry,
Merry Sunshine, and the duet of 'What are
the Wild Waves Saying?" which was suggested
by an incident in Dickens novel Of "Dombey
and Son."

GROUND-RENP LAW.

The recent publication of two decisions by
Judge Ludlow on the subject of ground-rents
in this county seems to have occasioned con-
siderable doubling and misunderstanding in
some peoples minds, for which there is
really not the slightest cause. The principles
laid down by the learned judge are unques-
tionably sound, and he has expressed himself
in the clearest possible manner, so that it
strikes us that if individuals desire to under
stand his opinions as he means them and
wishes them to be understood, they
have only to read the statutes in
volved aud the opinions respecting
each, and then give the matter single sob or
thought. The statutes are the last two that
have been passed regarding ground-rents in
Philadelphia, and they came before Judge
LUDLOW upon question of their constitution
ality. The first was the act of April %, 1868,
which provides that sin all cases in which
gHished by payment or by presumption of law,
but no deed of eXtingushment or release
thereof shall have been executed, it shall and
may be lawful for the owner or owners of the
land out of which the rent issues, or any
person interested, to apply by petition to the
Court of Common Pleas, where
upon such court shall make such order for
giving notice, etc, > aud up0r
due proof being made of the truth

The Democracy of Pennsylvania have
promptly seized the first occasion that offered
for honoring Coffee-pot Wallace by electing
him Speaker of the Senate. A heavy debt of
gratitude was due to him for his distinguished
services in giving to false and bran-new natu-
ralization papers the halo of antiquity; and
the debt has, in part, been promptly paid.
Our lawmakers never act so nobly as when
they lavish honors upon men who break the
laws for partisan purposes, and exalt their
party above the Commonwealth.

THE PACIFIC TERMINUS OF THE NORTHERN PACIFIC
RAILRoAD.-W. Minor Roberts, Esq, civil engineer,
in his special report on the route Of the Northern
Pacific Railroad, gives the following opinion in re-
gard to the industrial prospects of the extreme
Northwest
''Next to the lumber trade in importance will be at
first the great fisheries on the Pacific coast the
facilities for the accommodation of which will be
found at the terminus OF this railroad, where the
vessels will be built, equipped and found, complete,
with every needed appliance, and manned ready for
sea. say Sat first, because the day is not far dis
tant when the manufactures which will grow up
around this world OF waters will engender COM
merce far exceeding that arising from the fisheries
and, as the forests recede under the Unsuitable
demands OF an increasing growth OF population,
agricultural products will oil the apparent void for
It is certain that the soil where these vast forests
now grow is remarkably prolific. And If at some
period In the future, when numerous nourlshing
cities shall have grown up with the growth OF this
Pacific coast the timber should be exhausted, a
bountiful Providence has stored up for the use OF
the coming generations abundant supply OF coal,
an article which is the basis OF most OF the wealth
OF Great Britain, and which, more than any single
product OF the Mines has enabled the United States
to take her present st and among the nations"

The school books and textbooks teach
young men to love their country, and thereby
inculcate confusing and dangerous error.
The real thing to be done-if you are anxious
to figure in politics-is to let your country
slide, and to goyour death for some one of the
robbers, or gangs of robbers, who fatten on
her life-blood. If you are Philadelphian,
get into the Gas Ring. If you are a New
Yorker, put on the Tammany harness. If you
are Pennsylvania, swear by Cameron. Be
unjust and fear not, and the road to plunder
will be opened unto you.

authorized aud required to make
decree declaring that the said ground-rent
is released, merged, and extinguished, etc.
In the case that brought into question the
constitutionality of this law, no payment or
demand of the ground-rents or acknowledge
ment of their existence had been made for
more than twenty-one years; and when the
court was asked to declare them extinguished
on this ground, the objection was made that
the law was unconstitutional, because in Civ
ing the court the power thus to decree it de-
prived the party of his right to trial by jury.
The judge held this reasoning to be falla-
cious, for there was nothing to prevent the
court from awarding an issue and sending
the case before a jury, if such a course be-
came necessary; and he sustained the law and
declared the ground-rent extinguished. This
certainly is plain enough. When proof is
made that a ground-rent has slumbered un-
disturbed for twenty-one years, the court may
declare it dead-that is all.
The other was the act of April 10, 1869,
providing for the abolition of irredeemable
ground-rents, which have for years proved a
heavy clog to real estate in this city. The
act says that the owner of land upon which
such lien exists may cite the owner of the
lien into court for the purpose of coming to
terms for its extinguishment, and if they fail
to agree upon the amount to be paid, the
matter shall be referred to jury, who shall
assess the damages; and upon the payment of
all expenses by the owner of the land, the
court shall decree the hitherto irredeemable
ground-rent to be extinguished. The obieo-
tion to the constitutionality of this was that
it divested vested rights and forced the owner
of the rent to part with it whether he wished
to do so or not. To be sure, the act provides
that the assessment of damages in
favor of the owner of the rent shall
never be less than twenty-one years
purchase thereof, but this is of no weight
as affecting the constitutional question. Here
likewise Judge Ludlowis exceedingly explicit.
He holds the law to be constitutional on the
ground of public necessity, the same ground on
which the laws abolishing entailed estates and
the proprietary titles of the Penns stand. One
statute says a ground-rent unclaimed for
twenty one years may be declared by the
court to be extinguished, the other that all
irredeemable ground-rents may be abolished
upon compensation to the owner thereof; and
Judge Ludlow declares both statutes to be
constitutional Both cases will doubtless be
taken to the Supreme Court for review, but
where is the difficulty in understanding the
matter as it now stands we fail to see.

IT is SAID that Grant favors an increase of

greatest smokers in the land, he gives evil
dence of genuine patriotism in urging such
an increase, and all other ofice-holders

IT IS easier for a young married man to
gradually acquire absolute ownership of a
comfortable home in Philadelphia than in
any other large city. The operation has been
so much simplifed by the building assoca-
tions which abound here, to the number of
nearly one thousand, that practically it
amounts to nothing more than paying little
extra rent from quarter to quarter and year
to year. Any industrious artisan can become
the possessor of good residence in Phila-
delphia by making a series of payments
through ten years of a smaller aggregate
sum than would be required in New York for
the rent of house possessing similar accom-
modations.
