This morning the Emperor, accompanied by the Visconde de Bom Retiro, visited the deaf and dumb institute and spent several hours examining into the details of its working. His Majesty expresses himself delighted with the completeness and thor- ough organization of the institute. In - con- versation with the HERALD correspondent the Emperor said that the hours spent in examining the deaf. and dumb institute were among the pieasantest he has passed since his arrival in the United States, The institute he declared to be the best organized and most com- picte he has seen either in Europe or America. A VISIT TO THE NAVY YARD.

The sail down the river was delightful, and General Sher- man thoughtfully pointed out to the imperial visi- tors the various points of interest on the banks. As a tribute of respect to the memory 01 General Washington and his wife, the Emperor and Empress deposited bouquets on their tombs. At the request of Mrs, Berginan, the kind hostess, the Emperor planted a maple tree within a few feet of Washington’s resting place. A VISIT TO A HALLOWED sro. On the way to the house the site where the mortal remains of Washington had been first laid was pointed out tothe Emperor. He at once left the party and directed his steps toward the hallowed spot and when he saw the magnificent view he said it was a pity that Washington's resting place had been changed. In any case, he thought that even now the vault where he had first lain should be kept sacred. He was very much disappointed to find the grave uf the Father of his Country so sadly neglected. The ladies’ committee do their best, but they have not the means of keeping the grounds in proper order, and it is a sad commentary on THE GRATITUDE OF REPUBLICS that Mount Vernon, with its high. lessons of exalted dignity and pure morality, should be allowed to fall to decay. It was eleven o'clock when the imperial party returned from Mount Vernon. His Majesty and several of his suite attended a reception given by Sir Edward Thornton. In the morning the imperial party will leave for Niagara. CUBA. RAINY WEATHER AND EXCESSIVE HEAT. Havana, Sune 2, 1876.

All the conferences between the manufacturers and the paddlers have failed to prevent a lockaut, and togay bat very few of the puddling mills in this county aro at work. The alternative of the manufacturers was a slid- ing scale, which at the present price of iron (two and ahalfcents) would made the rate for puddling $4 75 per ton, and ascending at the rate of ten cents per ton for one-tenth advance in card, This was rejected by the Puddlers’ Umion, its demand being an advance of fifteen cents per ton on every one-tenth advance in card rates, and an increase also of twenty-five cents per ton at the present rate.

NEW YORK'S INTEREST IN IT. To tue Eptrom or tHe Heratp:— The following items are not without interest to the readers of the Hetap,as the poor white, fatherless boys born in the city of New York have, by the will of Stephen Girard, the right of admission into the college next after those born in Pennsylvania and betore the orphans born in New Orleans orelsewhere, The estate is now worth $7,000,000 or $8,000,000, and the bulk of it was, in the original will drawn vy Horace Binney, | bequeathed to the city of Philadelphia, provided it would enter into an obligation never to incur a debt. Subsequentiy Mr. Girard desired to extend the Orphans’ Home; therefore he bequetbed nearly all his property to maintain and educate orphan boys. In his first will there was no restriction upon the visits of ministers of the Gospel; but, becoming anxious to avoid sectarian controversies, he inserted the foliow- ing clause in his second will, drawn by the Hon, W. J. Duane:— 1 enjoin and require that no ceclesi: ary or minister of auy sect whatsvever shall ever hold oF exercise any stution of duty whatever in the sad coliege, nor shail any such person ever be admitted any purpose, or as a yisitur, within the premises ap- propriated to the purposes of the said college. The attack made by the heirs upon tho will was chiefly based on that clause, as will be seen by the fol- lowing extract from the decision of the Supreme Court in Washington, given by Chie! Justice Story : This objection is that the founcation of the college upon the principies and exclusions prescribed by the testator is derogatory and hostile to the Christian re- ligton, und is so void, as boing against the common law ad pubhe policy of Penusyivania, and this tor we reasous—tirst, because of the exclusion of all ecclest- astics, missivnaries aud ministers of any sect froin holding or exercising any stauion or duty in the col- lege, oF even visiting the same; and secondly, because 4 limits the instruction to be given to tne scholars to pure morality aud general bene’ ce, anda jove of truth, sobriety and industry, thereby exciuding by im- Plieation all instruction in the Christian religion, The Chiof Justice said :— Bat the objection itself assumes the propo- sition that Christianity is not to be taught because evclesiastics ure not to be instructors or officers, But thisis by no means a necessary of legitimate inierence from the premises. Why may not Jay men iustruct in the general principles ot Chris- Manity as weil as ecclesiustics? There 1s no restric. tion as to the reifZious opinions of the instructors aud They may be, and, doubtless under the auspices of the city government, they will always be, inen not only distingushed for learning und talent but Jor piety and elevated virtue und holy lives and char- acter. “And We cannot overiouk the blessings which such men, by their conduct as well as their instructions, “may, nay must, — impart to their = youtuful pupils. © Why may — not the Bible, and especially the New Testament, without note or comment, Ve read and taught as a divine rev elation im the college, its general precepts expounded, its evidences explained uod its glorious principles of morality inculcated ¥ Wuatis there to prevent a work Hot sectarian upon the general evidences of Christi- anity.from being reud aad taught in the college by lay teachers? Cersamly there 1s nothing in the will that proscribes such studies Above all, the testator poxi- lively enjoins ‘that all the instructors and teachers in the coliege shall take pains to instil iio the minds of the scholars the purest principles of morality, so that on their entrance Into active lite they may, from in- clination and habit, evince benevolence toward their fellow creatures and a@ love of truth, sobriety and In- dustry, adopting at the same time such religious tenets As their matured reason may enable them to preter.” Now, it may weil be asked, What is there ia all this which is positively enjoined inconsistent with the spirit or truths of Christianity? Are not these traths all taught by Christianity, although iv teaches much more? Where can tho’ purest principles of morality be Jearned so clearly or so periectiy as trom the New jeTestament? Where are bouevolence, the love of truth, sobriety and industry’so powertuliy and irresistibly in- culcated asin the sacred vuiume? he testator has not said how these great principles are to be taught or by whom, except it be by laymen, nor what books are to be used vo explain or enforce them. All that we can gather from bis language 18 that he desired to exclude Sectarians and sectarianism from the college, leaving the instructors and officers treo tu teach the pures: moral- ity, the love of truth, sobriety and industry by all ap- propriate means; and, ol course, including the best, the surest and the mst impressive. The Chief J tice concluded with this signiticapt paragraph :—We are satisfied that there is nothing in the devise estab- lishing the college, or in the regulations and restric- tions contained therein, which are inconsistent with the Christian religion or are opposed to any known pol- icy of the State of Pennsylvania.”? That the Supreme Court rightly interpreted the will of Mr, Girard was evidenced by the conduct of the Hon. William J. Duane, the writer of the will, who was a co-director of the college with me for many years, He gave bis cordial approval of all the means used to im- part religtous instruction and to train the children in habits of Christian virtue. He knew that God’s bless- ing was auibly invoked at cach meal, that the boys were in the habit of attending religious services held in the chapel every morning and evening, and also that on Sundays special discourses were prepared for them and delivered by the President and otuer eminent lay? men, Mr. Duane knew that tho Bible was freely read and taught, und that the boys were trained in tho habit of praying beiore they went to bed. To avoid sectarianism a service book was prepared solely for ‘use in the Sunday worship, thus far con- ducted in ono of the rooms in the main college build- ing, A beautiful chapel will, however, be erected this season, as in six or Seven months the number of pupils will be increased from 550 to noarly 800, The new chapel will accommodate 2,900 boys, being the number that can be maintained and educated on the forty acres that comprise the coliego property, unless the Ahabs of Philadelphia sueceed in despoiling the widow and the orphan of their inheritance, Mr. Girard trusted his estate to the old city of Philadelphia, in the nment soaogof which there were in his time no politi> cal changes, and of which he was once a councilmane But when all the adjoining districts in the county wer consolidated into the city the character of the trustee was radically changed and the integrity of the trust jeopardized through the virulence of party politics’ Therefore, nearly seven years since, by a determined effort of independent and influential citizens, the charter of the city of Philadelphin was so amended as to authorize the judges, acting as a Board of Appointment, to elect for lite or good behavior twelve citizens to act as directors of city trusts, who, with the Mayor of the city and the presidents of the Select and Common Councils for the time being, “are charged with the exclusive control and management of all property dedicated to charitable uses or trusts, the charge or administration of which are now or shall herealter-be vested in or confided to the city of Philadelphia.” This Board controls a large num ver of other charitable trusts, such asthe Wills Eye Hospital, &c., but the Girard estate is by far the most important trust, After maintaining the Girard College, with its 550 orphans, atan annual cost varying from $180,000 to $190,000, the surplus income ranges from $175,000 to $250,000 a year, which is expended in pro ductive improvements on the real estate, Thia surplus will steadily Increase for the fifty years at least if the estate is intelligently and honestly managed. Most of the surplus of this year will be expended in the erection of an appropriate Chapel and four twin dwelling houses, with a large dining ball and kitchen, all of marble, into which, be- fore the close of the year, 240 additional boys will be received, maintained and educated i families of thirty each, Li the family system proves on the whole to be beneficial, asin my Judgment it will be if properly ad- ministered, then the number of these houses can be gradually increased, and the five original buildings used for school rooms for over 2,000 pupils, Thas far the college has been as well managed as it could be under what is known as the community or congregate system, the unnatural and dwarfing effect of which system has of late years received much consideration, The boys on entering the college are, when out of school, under the care of a governess, of whom there are five, each having a section of forty boys. As the orphans advance in intelligence they pass to the care ofa prefect, who has a section of seventy boys, Thero are five prefect section?, and cach boy passes up from section to section. When any large number are trans- forred at one time, or a new profect enters upon duty, there is, of course, the usual contention for the mas- tery. With so large a number of pupils in one section room tools and other implements for acquiring a handi- craft are of necessity excluded, So many of the boys take their mealx in ono room that to avoid disorder silence is enforced; therefore the children, during a sojourn of eight or ten years in the colleges never there enjoy a social meal, Not- withstanding a rigidity of discipline rendered necessary by the congregate system, the result bas been so favorable upon the 1,852 boys admitted during the twenty-cight years of the existence of the college that it reflects much credit upon the officers. Many of the graduates are eminent citizens, nearly all of them look back with pleasure to their sojourn in the college, and they will contrast favorably in morals and religion with the graduates of any similar institution. The colioge grounds are high and well drained, and the institution bas thus far been remarkablo for the health of the Pupils, who leave it before their eighteenth year, an are usualy indentured to acquire suitable trades, Under the will a preference in admission is givea—fens next | 7 to poor white malo fatherless children bora within t limits of the old city of Philadelphia; second, in the State of Pennsylvania; third, in the eity of New York; fourth, in New Orleans, &¢, As it is hardly likely that this State wili furnis 100 such children between the ages of six and ten—the pegiod limited in the will for their admission—the city of New York should make some preparation for claiming its rights to this bed quest. ‘There is, however, a persistent effort made, mainly, or, perhaps, solely, by speculators in real estate and in city passenger railroad stock to cut streets through the college property, The injunction of the will that it should remain Intact and in one inclosure will be pro- tected by the Board of City Trusts unless the Supreme Court of the United States sanctions the violation of the will. ‘The opening of strects will be fatal to the interests of the city of New York, as under the terms of tho will of Mr, Girard the income front his estate is to be used for municipal purposes, execpt so far as it is needed to erect buildings and maintain orphans on the specific college property which Mr. Girard purchased and set apart jor that purpose, A law was passed by the Leg- islature of this State authorizing, under certain re- strictions aud under the sanction of the courts, the opening of Twenty-seeond street through the college grounds. This, if effected, would cut the property into two pieces, The same law authorized, under like re- strictions, the opening of Girard avenue, which would divide one of these portions into two acute triangles, The bed of these streets would reduce the area four acres, and if opened, they will, by the building of additional walls, largely decrease its accommodations for pupils. The first jury of view decided adversely ta the opening of Twenty-second street, and the Court confipmed their decision, Being divided as to the ex- Podiency of opening Girard avenuo, another jury wad appointed, which reported adversely to its being opened, The Court retu: to confirm this decision, owing to some legal technicality; therefore still ane other jury has been appointed. Tho citizens of New York may rest assured that tho Directors of City Trusts will be vigilant and persevering in protecting these sacred interests of fatheriess children and wid- ows, Under one of the provisions of the will the val- uable coal mines ana all other property outside of the city of Philadelphia pass to the Commonwealtn ot Pennsylvania for purposes of internal navigation it the trustees knowingly and willingly violate any of the conditions of the bequest, one of which is tbat the Girard College property is to by kept entire. There ia an additional incentive (o the exercise of the greatest caution, for the heirs of Mr. Girard are watching closely every movement of the trustees, hoping that they will in some way violate the trust, and thus give the heirs a claim upon the large estate, WILLIAM WELSH, 1,122 Spruce street.
