Health in regard to a speech made by Mr. Quin, com
mon councilman, at the ianx meeting, relative to tho
cleansing of the streets by ihis body, as authorized by
the Legislature iu case tbe city fa,ia to do so
Several members thought th* communication disre
spectful to Councils.
Mr. Ddvcheuty offered a resolution to return the
communkatioh to tbe Board of Health.
This was agreed to by a veto ot 15 to 2.
The Committee on Railroads reported an ordinance for
the T«moval| within thirty days, oi tuo rails of the North
Philadelphia PJaufe jbCnliWay 4J..Ttip»..y ; tli« material so
removed to be sold by the Commissioner of Highways.
Mr. MEGAKYBOVed io amend by inserting “also the
city railway between Chestnut and South streets.” Af
ter some debate >he amendment was withdrawn.
Mr. WfiTiiEiULL than offered* a* a substitute* that the
road should be leased lor one year, at pnoiic auction, to
the highest bidder, according to the provisions of the
railroad ordinance —if no bid is made, then the rails wilt
fee removed.
After some discussion this wfts pmhq,
Mr. Fox, from the c nmiittee on City Froperty, re
ported an ordinance extending the drainage in Inde
pendence Square into the basenuiut areas on the south
ern side of both the east ami west wings of tbe Scare
House building,, and therein provide such conveniences
pj>Ti«te ike necessity- /or tii« struciurea in tLe

moved ; also, that a retiring room be constructed at tho
rear ol and adjoining tbe room of the Court of Quarter
Sessions, not exceeding ten feet in depth and eleven foet
in »od qbo slaty imd tu AAufoMii in dueign
to the architecture of the present court room. Also,
that a further appropriation of $1,500 be made for this
purpose.
Mr. Wetherilj. strongly opposed the passage of the
ordinance. He thought that tli£ 11CW bdibg
made would be sufficient when complete. No other im
provements were needed at this time, when the city was
ao hard pushtd for funds.
Mr. Fox said thepe conveniences were much needed,
wad the courts hod positively said they would not sit if
they could lot have them. The t'uul air caused by the
imperfect drakage in themuare was most disgusting and
injurious to health. The little structure alluded to was
directly behind Independence trail, aud visitors to that
sacred place were wt«b shocked Upon lookiug out the
window and Booing a structure ot inis Kiud. it wna* in
his opinion, a vulgar institution, as it faced the Bquare
which was constantly filled with ladies and children. It
should be in a more retired place.
A motion finally made to amend by striking put
that portion which culled fur the removal or the sirac
lure, which was agreed to.
Mr. Wktiieiulj. offered a further amendment that the
work be given to the lowest and best bidder.
Mr. Fox said he did not see how this could be done, as
Vbv Work VW now wmmeßcw by ik, man wk» had »-
cured the job.
Mr. Wetjiekill said this man could finish tbe part
he had bargained for, and then new proposals could be
advertised for.

Another Victim of the First-
WARD EXPLOSION.—Lewis Brown, aged 14 years—
another of the victims of the recent explosion—died at the
Hospital yesterday. He resided with bis widowed mother
in SeycuUtmh street, above VbeutmHj aud was ono of a
family that had suffered perhaps more than auy other of
the unfortunate ones connected with the cartridge fac
tory. Five children, ranging from 10 to 17 years, from
one household, were in an instant eogulphed in the ruins
vf brick am! mortar, and prujectiiea.
Brovn, the sister of Lewis, is still at the Hospital. She
held formerly aeitu&tion at the U. S. filiut, aud was the
main reliance of a family of nine children during the past
winter. The Government work at the miut falling off,
muTiy of the employees were discharged, aud these un
fortunate Children—the Browns—iiaviug been offered
work at tbe factory of Mr. Jacksou, gladly accepted,
without a thought of the danger they incurred. The
three cousins of the Browns, viz—Augustin Curtin, Elia
Curtin and James Curtin—still remain at the Hospital.
EleVcn of the sufferets are still remaining at the Hospi
tal—B females and 3 males. All the females are consi
dered out of danger, except one. Of tho males, all are
improving. There are two of the female sufferers at St.
Joseph's Hospital* both of whom are rapidiy recovering
The tuffereiß out ol the hospitals are generally considered
out ef danger. I‘he & umber of deaths thus far is fif
teen.
Bank of Cgmieeroe vs. Edwin For-
BEST.—This case, tried in the District Court, was a
feigned ibsuo to determine whether certain promissory
notes, made by Wm. It Maurice, are what is term-d re
newals The uucstion is one of considerable interejt,
and is vaiesd in this way i
Mr. Maurice was In the habit of obtaining discounts
from the bank, but they were asked to such an extent
that the bank refused to continue them to the amount
required, unless they were secured in some way. Accord
ingly A WAS by Miv ra coll»-
teral.eecurity for these notes, and the discounts were then
obtained. When these notes fell due they were paid in the
following manner: Other discounts were obtained on
other notes, and the money so obtained appliod to the
payment of the original notes.
The bat>k contends that they were merely renewals of
the other notes, and therefore protected by the mortgage
executed as collateral security for the old noteß. If it is
so decided, then* a prior mortgage held by Mr. Forrest
for loans to defendant ia out out, and it is therefore eon
tended On his part that they were uol renewals, but were
entirely new notes, not coming under the contract- enter
ed into by the giving of the mortgage. The jury gave
a verdict for the defendant. Messrs. 8. O. and 8- H.
Poiking appear for the hank, andD. Dougherty and R.
MoMurtrie for Mr. Forrest
<l That Wall. 55 —The portion of the
old w&ll discovered by the workmen who ore engaged in
dlggingalrcack in Independence square, tvaa seated in
The Press to be the remains of tbe foundation of the
etructuie erected in 1768, to enable David Ritcenhouso to
observe the transit of the planet Venue, and from which
the Declaration of Independence was first read to the
people on the Uih the 4th jof J aly, i*f 4. The news
papers of that period call this observatory a temporary
wooCen building,” audit is not probable that stone foun
dations were laid for it. Very few persons are aware of
the 1 act that there were at one time dwellmgs upon
Independence Sq.ut»re : but aucb is, neverxhetesß, the
fact.
In the years 1730 and 1732 the Chestnut-street, or
northern half of the square, was bought from its various
owners, and the State House w*s built upon the ground.
At that time tbo eonthern half of the aauare wab laid out
in building lots, and several dwellings had been con*
atructed upon them on the line of Walnut street. In
3762 these lots, with their improvements, were purchased
from Thomas Gordon, Robert Tempest, Joseph Sbippea,
Jr., John Chappel, David Ervin, agd jQhfl TOWarond.
The last u«mcd resided iir a brick bouse which BtooQ at
the southwest corner of the square. After the State had
become the owner of the entire square, these dwellings
were demolished, and tt is highly probable that the ma
sonry which was recently brought to light was part of au
old cellar wall.
Y eeterday, the workmen turned up more Revolutionary
relics in the shape of three small bomb shells and a piece
cf iron, which had evidently belonged to seme portion of a
gun carriage. During the occupation of the city by the
llrillaL ihe western side of ihe square was occupied by a
range of sheds, which were used for the storage of artil
lery. At Bundry times, sword blades, shot and shell have
heeu turned up in tbe square by men engaged in planting
trees, Ac.
Action to Recover Damages for
AN ALLEGED LlBEL.—Yesterday, in the Court of
Nisi Frius, an action was brought agaiast the publisher
of tbe Daily JScivs, to recover damages for an alleged
libellous Article that appeared id the leeol column* of
that paper, ef May 18, 1859. The article in question
narrated the circumstances of the arrest of a giii, on tbe
charge of absconding from her parents’ house, and her
being taken before tbe plaintiff, who was then alderman
of ihe Tenth ward, and being committed to the station
hootio in dvfttnit of five hundred dollars, where she
remained until late at night, when she was bailed
out by some one who compassionated her position. It
appears that the girl, whose name is Garden, had mar
ried the captain of a canal boat, the marriage ceremony
having bewi performed by Alderman Tittermars, of Lhe
Second ward. She then went to reside at her husband's
house, from whence she was taken, on the writ obtained
by her father, ou the charge of absconding. Her father
alleged before the Alderman that the marriage ceremony
had not been ptrformed according to the rites of the
Catholic Church, or which ghe wag a member, and was,
therefore, null and void.
Tho alderman, it was alleged in tho article, also took
this view of the matter, and committed her as above
nieutioucd, A narrative of (he occurrence appeared in
the Dmfy i Yews, and, it la alleged, operated ao ou mem*
bars of Councils that they refused to re-elect him to the
position of police magistrate for the Tenth ward.
The defendant was not present, nor were his witnesses,
and the cbbo was given to the jqry witiWUl any defence
being offered on bis part.
Tne jury rendered a verdict of $6OO damages.
Demand for Boots and Shoes.—
Weltarn Unit during tie past few iltys there has been
more activity iu this city in the hoot ana shoe trade than
during any previous time for more than a year. The de
mand is mainly from Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Ohio,
although there is a moderate number of buyers from
other Western States. The chief inquiry from Kentucky
anti ¥«nnes6e« comes indirectly through Cincinnati, I,OU“
isvillo, or St. Louis merchants. Quite a proportion of the
near trade are buying for cash, or prefer cashing their
bills with a per cent, off, to giving time-notes. The trade
are perhaps purchasing more freely at present than has
been fxpecieu, and a hcultby and remunerative business
is progressing. The call for spring and summer goods is
confined alnost entirely to plain substantial work, which
is held at steady prices. The inquiry for fine gents* boots
and the fancy quality of ladies* and gents* gaiters for the
Washington and Southern markets is not largo. daaUsa
having generally completed their purchases for the open
ing spring trade.
Arrival.— The bark Joseph Max
well lias »irived at this port from Cienfuegos. This
vessel, belonging to the Messrs. Dallett’a line of Vene
zuelan packets, was seized in the early part of last sum
mer, while on the voyage from Laguayra to Philadel
phia, by the pirate which put a prize crew on
board, and sent her into Cieufurgos. Soou alter tier
arrival at that port, the Spanish Governor of the town
interfered to prevent the sale of the vessel and cargo,
and ordered their return to the lawful owners. Some
delay necessarily occurred in procuring tbo assent of the
Home Government to this action of the local authori
ties, during which time the Joseph Maxwell , which had
been stripped of much valuable material by the pirate,
was completely repaired and refitted. She brings a large
cargo of sugar.
A Busy Scene—For the past two
days Delaware avenue has presented quite a busy scene.
Ihe favorable weather brought up a perfect fleet of
sailing craft, most of which were square-rigged vessels,
Sa was the rukh Ihifc much difficulty waa expe
rienced in procuring berths for a number of vessels.
Many of the cargoes brought into port are large and
valuable, and the duties upon them will make a hand
some addition to Uncle Sam’s exchequer in this quarter.
Base Ball.— The Olympic Base Ball
Club will have the opening game of the season to morrow
(Saturday) afternoon, on their ground (Camac entate),
commencing at half past 2 o’clock. This is the oldest
ball cinb in the country, having been organized in iB3G,
by 'William X Whitman, Esq , who is president of the
club. Their days of play hereafter will be on Wednesday
and Saturday afternoons.
The College op Physicians.—The
trustees of this institution are about to erect a suitable
building for the accommodation of the valuable museum
of the late Dr. Thos. D. Stutter, M. D., in accordance
with the provisions of the will of the deceased. The
Amount boquo&tksd for ihe benefit of ihe museum waa
$30,000. The building will be erected at the northeast

Tl>9 Boston Board of Trade have endorsed) aud the
New York Chamber of Commerce have under favorable
consideration, the plau of national taxation winch we
have frequently commended as the best for the pur
poses of tbe Government and the genius of onr people.
Instead of Hie Dill which has passed the House or Repre
sentatives, imposing specific taxes upon a long lisf of
manufactures, ond providing for on army of agents
to assess and collect them, it is proposed simply to im
pose a duly or tax upon the amount of every man’s sales,
and upon every man’s receipts from. fees. The plan and
its advantages are clearly set forth in the annexed ab
stract of the report of the Boston Board of Trade. Tbe
eoinpiiv&fivnß <?f the bill bvfvre would be
av&ided, aud less than one-fifth of the officers which that
bill provides would be required. The tax would be
equally distributed, and more easily collected. The
amount of money to he raised hy the w<mid
be more certainly provided, and the system is such that
the only change necessary to provide more or less
revenuo would be a change in tho percentage of the
tax, all the oilier parts of tho system remaining un
altered :
The aggregate value of the domestic produce of the
country which enters into trade is 32,000,000,000. If
to this we add the imports—say s3so,ooo*ooo—we have
$2,950,000,000 aa the total amount or exchaugeable com
mocities. Assuming that these arc sold to average
three and a halt times before they reach the consumer,
the total annual amount of sales would be #10,326,000,000
The tale of duty to be imposed on pales would of course
vary according to the amount required to he raised
this Bource. If, however, the rate first fixed upon
should, on trial, produce too much or too little revenue,
the amoiiDt can be raised or lowered at pleasure, without
dislurbibg the machinery of collection, Toe ch&uie
mil lit be accomplished without llie trouble and delay of
additional legislation, ax the act might meet future exi
gencies of the Treasury by providing for a change in the
rate, to be made kuown by the proclamation of the Pre
sitait, Sboulfl ft dntr on sales fie adopted os a leading
source of revenue* the rorms of taxation in tne present bill
most likely to embarrass production, and to prove costly
and troublesome iu their collection, might be dispensed
with, and tlie whole sj stem of internal taxation greatly
einip ified. If the first ofijeet, which is rereuuoi can be
mode certain, an should rejoice to be re T hyed from ap
prehensions which have boon so generally awakened by
the more obnoxious provisions of the proposed act. The
committee also recommend that all internal duea shall
be collected by the sale of Government stamps, to be diu-
Liibuud and obtained through tho Post Gffiee Depart
ment. Two modes of applying tho stamps have been
considered—one, whereby a stamp should be affixed to
each bill of sale, such affix being necessary to perfect the
title or the buyer to his purchase; and the other, in
which the stamps should be affixed to periodical returns
of the amount of business done. As a resort to other
foima of taxation than a duty on sales will be Lecessary
to produce the required amount of revenue, the latter
mode of using the stamps would doubtless be preferable
to the former, as it may be applied to the collection of
all Internal taxes, however levied, thus making the sys
tem of colb ciion uniform. Under this plan it is pro
posed that every person or company subject to taxes in
and from under the act shall make periodical returns of
ffi? sraoirat of bnsineE!, gnfijevt fO tax, which hW beta
done by them, and shall make payment of Bald tax by
affixing to their returns stamps of tbe required value.
This mode of editcting internal revenue by stunp, will
require a certain force of excise officers; but the number
of such officers needed on this plan will be smaller
than the plan of tbe Bouse bUI; and tbe expense ol col
lection, consequently, will be much less. It contemplates,
as in the Bouse bill, a Commissioner of Internal Reve
nue, a divieion of tbe couutry into inspection districts, and
the appointment of inspectors for each district. To
insure compliance with the act,*every person *r tt>m
p&ny subject to taxes should bo required to register
their names with the inspector, stating the charac
ter of their business and its locality. Iu general terms,
the working of the system would be as fo.lows: The
Commissioner of Internal Revenue will provide the Post
Office witix stamps of tbe required denomi
nations, and these stamps wiH bo sold by the postmasters
w herever they are needed. At the end of every month
each business man, whether merchant or manufacturer,
will make to the inspector his return of sales subject to
tax* with a Government stamp of the ruuuifed value
affixed to said return. The inspector will receipt for
this return, and will forward it, with the stamp canceled,
to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, c Similar re
turn will be made in regard to other Interests subject to
internal taxation. Uuccr this mode of collecting inter
nal dues there would he no money transactions in hohalf
of the Government outside of the Fost Office Depart
ment—an arrangement which would save the appoint
ment of many new officials, with their attendant office
expenses, trad consequently diminish the cost of codec
tlon and the chances of fraud.
Job. W. Drexel (at present of the firms of Drexel
& Co., Philadelphia, and Bead, Drexel, Sc Co., Hew York)
designs opening a banking house in Chicago, on tho 20th
of this mouth, under tbe style of J, W, DrCXCI & 00.
It is unnecessary to say to any business men in Phila
delphia that whatever business is entrusted to this new
house will be attended to in the moßt satisfactory man
ner. To those of our readers whose “ont-of-towa* 1
homes make them less familiar with the household names
of our city, we may say that whatever they may wish to
have dose in Chicago, that a general banking, exchange,
and collection house can do, can be entrusted to no better
hands than to thia now branch of the old house of Drexel
A Co.
The New York Evening Post of to-day says:
There is rather more doing in nocks to-day, though
the increase of activity Is in such of the leading specu
lative shares as are under tbe control of the clique who
are operating for the rise, on tbe expectation ot an infla
tion growing out of tho large issues of the Government.
The public continue to confine their purchases to the
£rbl-claaa dividend-paying bonds and shares, tearing
fancy stocks to the management of street .speculators,
who are assisted in their operations by the great ease in
money.
