AZ AuERJC1N CARDINAL.

There are doubtless some uneasy ChrIsianH
who will feel disturbed by the appointment
of Roman Cardinal in the City OF New ork,
and will sec in the promotion of Archbishop
McCloskcy an evidence of deep design by the
Papal Court upon the faith, ri not the iiDcr-
ties, of the American people. Most or uS'
however will be disposed merely to cOngrat-
ulate our fellow-citizen upon the dislihciioh
that is about to be conferred upon him, rest
ing assured that his red hat will have no APP
probable effect upon the destinles oil America.
Archbishop McCloskey is native OF THIS
State, having been born in Brooklyn. lie IL
man of refined tastes and gentle DISPOSE
ton; favOrite in society; brilliant
preacher; n gentleman of blamelcss life; ana
if we are to have Prince of the Roman
Church in New-York, most OF us will agree
that the dignity could not be offered to one
who will wear it with less oifcnse to his
evangelical fellOw-ctizens.
The question of creating an American Car
dinal has been agiated for long time. During
the past twenty-five years the Pope has shown
n strong tendency to make the College OF Car
dinals more catholic than the traditional pol
lev of Rome formerly allowed it to be, ana
two-Gfths of the Cardinals Of his appointment
have not been Italians. In 1850 the Admins
tration of President Fillmore caused az init
nation to be conveyed to the Bcly See that
the appointment Of a Cardinal in the United
States would be well received, and Mr.. Cass,
then Charge d'Afaires Mt Rome, pushed the
subject zealogsly, though perhaps not in his
official capacity. It was well understood at
the time that the new digntary, if appointed,
would be Archbishop Hughes. The
Archbishop Of Baltimore, however, and
some Of tho other American pre-
lates, opposed the scheme, and it was
allowed to drop. In 1868, President Lincoln
sent word to tho Pope that the American
Government would feel particular qualification
in any additional honors that His Holiness
could confer upon Archbishop Hughes and
again the question of the Cardinalship became
q common subject of conversation. There is
reason to believe that the hat was almost as
good as ordered for Archbishop Hughes on
that occasion, and why he did not get it has
never been explained. The condition of the
Roman Catholic Church is somewhat anomalous
in this country; but its membership is enor-
nous, and there seems to be no reason why 1t
should not be equipped with all the dignlSles
and honors which it can show in other lands
where it is in reality far less powerful and
prosperous than it is here.

VOH TO REFORM CHILDREN.

| PHILADELPHIA papers during the last week or
| two bring accounts Of an investigation ordered
| by tho State Legislature into the management
| of the House of Refuge in that city. These
| institutions have long been considered model
reformat0ry schools, and were cited in the
meetings of the National Prison Association as
worthy the attention of philanthrODists. 1t
appears now that this attention would have
been we'll bestowed for various reasons. The
examination of last week (by no means a
| thorough one), reveals a persistent and estab-
lished system of injustice in the treatment of
| the children with the frequent infection of
barbarous cruelty. The inmates of the House,
it should be remembered. are not always GRIM
| inal, nor even vicious children, but in the
majority of instances are those who are home
| less either as orphans or the offspring of
drunken parents. The purpose of the institu-
| ton is, according to judicial authority, to
"train its inmates to industry; to Undue their
"minds with principles of morality and reli-
"gion; to furnish them with means to obtain
"a living, and above all, to separate them from
"the corrupting influences of improper asso-
"ciates.n The report of the Board of Mana
gers, just issued, states that strict oversight
| is maintained by them over these hayward
"and unfortunate children, and no effort is
SPARED to make them wise unto salvation"
Nothing could be better than the theory.
The practice has been to herd these chill
dren together, the thieves and embryo prosti-
tutes with the innocent homeless orphans to
keep them in strict prison regulations, hiring
them on contract to box, brush, and shoe
manufacturers and to impose heavy and at
times impossible tasks upon them for the
benefit of these men. Children who were sick
OF unable for other reasons to finish the work
given them were severely punished on tho
complaint Of the contractors, and without any
investigation, the usual treatment being from
forty to one hundred heavy strokes of rat
tan on the bare back. laid on by tho keepers.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1875-03-11

tho blood often following the blows, while tho
child was held face downward on q table bv
four other boys. Girls even of the age Of
seventeen received tho same punishment from
their Overseers. In some cases the miserabe
little victim was refused his meals, and
brought to this punishment weak from
long fasting. Whether the child who lay
stripped and bleeding under the blows or the
children who held him there were to
DO made "wise unto salvation through
the process, it is difficult to decide. There
are other revelations of tde ignorance and
brutality of the keepers which it is unneces-
sary to detail, of one poor little wretch
beaten because he was sick. dosed with six
grains Of blue mass, and locked up alone IN a
CELL to be found dead in the morning Of
girls seduced by the men to whom they were
bound, and other girls sent to fill their places.
etc, etc. The whole record is but duplicate
of the story of these unreformed State prisons
where the cOnvicts are let on contract TO
manufacturers, who regard them simply az
money making machines. With this differ
ence, that here the victims are children, not
adults and that here, instead of cOnyicts who
deserve punishment, the laborers are tho
wards of the managers who have promised to
provide them with home, education, and
especially as far as possible to make them
"wise unto salvation.n
Our object in calling attention to this case
is twO-fold: 1. To suggest that perhaps some
inquiry into our own State refOrmatory schools
would not be ill-timed. 2. To point out the
singular fact that in all such investigations
the managers, charitable boards, etc, on whom
the responsibility rests, invariably seek to
cover up the ill-doing of their subordinates.
In this case it is clearly not the ignorant and
brutal superintendent and keepers who are to
blame, but the intelligent Christian managers
who employed them, and who suffered them
selves to be deceived by them month after
month. Even after the whole matter had
been dragged to the light, they would have
stifled investigation, preterring that the chill
dren should be misused than that their own
Judgment and shrewdness in the choice or
keepers should be proved incompetent This
case is but one Of many The more respecta'
bic and noted the institution the moro I'M
pregnable is it in wrong-doing' Phiian'
thropists are but men, sud sometimes OBJ

Of the sacrifice of their reputation or that OF
the lives of pauper children, the danger that

that it behooves the press and public to inter

Proposals for the only issue of bonds ever
made by the State of Nebraska are to be opened
to-day at the clearinghouse of Saunders and
Hardcnberg. The proceeds arc to be invested
in seed for the use Of the sufferers from the
grasshopDer devastation. The interest Is pay
able semi-annually, at the rate OF 10 per cent
DER annum, and u sinking fund is provided for
the payment of the bonds in ten years. in the
same bill which authorizes their issue.
THE TRIBUNE had the pleasure yesterday of
rcmitting $4,000 more to these Western suf-
ferers, $1,000 this time going to Gov. Osborn
of Kansas, and 800 to ex-Gov. Saunders of
Nebraska. The total amount thus forwarded
to the sufferers from THE TRIBUNE Dollar
Subscription is Sl2lO0. We have abundant
evidence that the distress in both States still
continues, has been made greatly worse by
the cold weather, and is not likely to be
mtigated until some time after the opening OF
the Spring season. In this, as in every
other charitable work, there have, OF
course, been complaints of an inequltabe
distribution of the funds provided. In so far
as we have been able to trace these COM
plants they have been generally found due
to the dissatisfaction OF particular indlvidu-
ais who were not permitted to handle the
funds for their respective localities, or who
thought that their county or township should
have had larger proportion than the central
authorities of the State believed would be
inst TO the rest,

tho owner; the punishment OF the criminal
consists in tho imprisonment provided by law
In the second place, although the theft OF the
public money by Tweed and others is an OF
tense committed some time ago, their reten-
ton of it is wrong which continues all the
while, and the law may properly provide q
remedy at any day. In the third place, the
Court of Appeals has not decided that there
is no means by which the stolen money can
be recovered, but only that the means taken
by Mr.. O'COnor was not the light one. Anu
finally there is great deal of misunderstanding
ing with respect to the details Of the OConor
bills, which we may as well correct:
The Civil Remedies bills are three in num-
Der, two of them having already become laws.
The first is all amendment to tho Code OF
Procedure, authorizing the precautionary
arrest of defendants in certain classes OF
actions and the attachment of their property
under certain specified circumstances, as secur-
ity for the satisfaction of any judgment that
may be obtained against them. 1t does not
affect the penalties in any way; they remain
Just what they were before; its object is to
prevent criminals Of the Ring class from
absconding or putting their property out OF
reach ana OF course IL canuOJ NC Ictio"'Vi'''
The second bill is entitled "An act to provide
"more effectually for the punishment of pecula-
'tion and other wrongs affecting public moneys
"and rights of property" 1t fixes penalty OF
Imprisonment, or fine, or both, for certain
forms of official swindling not sufficiently
covered by previous statutes, but it does not,
as some have supposed, refer to past offenses'
and it has no bearing therefore on the cases
of Tweed & Co. 1t Ia entirely prospective.
! The third and most important of the bills
relates entirely to the manner OF suing 1or
the recovery Of money belonging to the
people and wrongfully withheld. 1t makes no
change in the ownership Of the money, and
has nothing to do with penalties. 1t only
enacts that suit may be brought in the name
of the State, by tho Attorney or other
authorized agent, and guards against such
distractions as Tweed attempted to throw in
the path of justice by bringing delusive suit
| against himself in the name of the city. The
title of "Civil Remedies Bills" commonly
given to the three, is an apt one, since they
are not designed to punish for old oTenses,
but to supply a cure for existing wrongs.

CIVIL REMEDIES IND EX POST FACTO

A correspondent asks us whether the legis-
lation devised by Mr.. O'Conor for the prose-
cuton of the Ring suits is not in the nature
of er post facto laws. He suggests that the
Court of Appeals has practically decided that
under our laws as they existed during the
Tweed dynasty there is no way of recovering
the stolen money. and that to pass new law
enabling certain officials to sue for it is
equivalent TO inncting greater punishment
for a crime than was provided by the statutes
at the time of its commission, (which is I'M
constitutional. We have seen the same OBJ
lection in print. 1t betrays, however, a mis-
apprehension of the facts and singular
confusion of ideas, into which we should
hardly have expected any thinking man to fall.
In the first place, compelling thief to give
back to the owner what ho has stolen Is not
q penalty. 1t is only protecting the rights of
