ST. PATRICK'S DAY.—If the ' angel Gabriel
were mentioned, some would naturally inquire,
"Who is the angel Gabriel I , ' In like manner, when
Saint Patrick comes upon the floor, that is upon the
carpet—though in his days floors and carpets were
by no means familiar acquaintance—some one is sure
to ask, " Who is Saint Patriekc, ,, The question
merely evinces the interest attanned to the high fes
tival of this patron saint. Through very many ages
his reputation has promulgated itself over every
country. Saint Patrick is the itinerant, yet settled
divinity of his people. The events of his life, as
chronicled by his numerous biographers, form a table
of arithmetical and geometrical progression. Every
other historian seems to have added to and multi
plied the last. The success of his priesthood was
wondrous ; the prestige of his fame was as singu
lar as it was widely spread. Born add bred in an
era which many consider obscure and unimportant
in the germs of time, he yet exerted an influence
upon all the world, and stern as the voice of Hilde
brand the Great, exerts that influence upon poste
rity.
To follow, believingly, the narration of any one
biographer, would be as futile as the endeavor to
take the photograph of the man in the moon. The
history of St. Patrick is incomprehensible; not be
cause he was not great and good, but because he was
too great and good for hie cotemporaries thoroughly
to comprehend him, The shallow-heads, who at
different eras weighed him, found him wanting; the
true people, true to their conscience as to him, found
him full of the common-sense of truth, and strong
in the overreaching ability of genius.
As in the case of St. David, the term St. Patrick
is said to be of modern and English origin. Those
who speak authoritatively of his birth, however, are
various• Those of his contemporaries who wrote
his life probably approach nearest the truth. Fresch,
Bishop of Sletty, in an - Irish hymn, -thirty-four
stanzas in length, apostrophises his memory. Pro
bus, in thetenth century, outdid all predecessors in
the fables lie ascribed to St. patrick, and was himself
outdone by Joceline. This writer was a 111.0111 i of
Fumes, and in the twelfth century expanded his,
views mulch more than was necessary: The life of
St. Patrick, by the Monk of Fumes, may be found
in the third volume of the works of the venerable
Bede. His life, as written by the last-mentioned
author, was first published in 1514, at the expense
of Cornelius Hugonie, or Fitz Hugh. Philip O'Sul
livan even outdid Joceline, in the manner of his
ascribing miracles to St. Patrick.
According to the various accounts, St. Patric'r
was born in Ireland, England, Scotland, and Wales.
According to the " Martyrologists,” a Saint's na
tivity is not dated that of his birth, but that of
his death. O'Sullivan makes St. Patrick born in
Bass Bretagne, France; another, devotes the South
of England to him another Wales, at a place with
an unpronounceable name (Pepidiaue), with a pro
montory ; and still another, the Rosy Vale, which,
judging from its name, must have been a very pretty
place. _
The biography, of Sir James Ware,' written in
Latin, and published in 1668, is excessively minute,
and, if the truth must be told, excessively tiresome.
All the proper names he can join together, he doss
join together, and discourses about them in the
Most common-place way. The gist of the affair seems
to be that St. Patrick was born in the year 373, in
Scotland, and in the village of Baneven. To this
there is a score of contradictions, however. At six
teen years of age he was taken a captive in Gaul,
together with his sister, Laputa. He escaped, lived
at home for two years with his parents, was recap
tured for some months, escaped again, preached fOr
many years among the Irish, and, retiring at last
from his ministry and his labors, passed the last
thirty years of hie life between the monasteries of
Saballure, or Saul, and Armagh. He is positively
affirmed to have died at the Abbey of Saul, on the
17th of March, in the year 493, and in the 120th year
Of his age. Biographers disagree as to his burial
place.' Some assign Down this honor, and 'others
Glastonbury. One St. Patrick was, it is positively
affirmed, buried at Glastonbury, England. Whether
this was the St. Patrick is questioned. There are
three St. Patricks hesides the lone who forms the
present notice: Patrick, the elder, a disciple of St.
Patrick the great, and his suffragan in the'See of
Armagh ; Patrick Junior, disciple and nephew of
St. Patrick; and. Abbot Patrick, who flourished
about the year 850. .
The innumerable legends which countless biogra
phers group around the memory of St. Patrick are
its entertaining as they are diversified. He is said
to have banished, or to have had the power of
banishing, all venomous creatures from the country.
In Ireland, at least, this was unnecessary, since the
next paragraph says there were no venomous crea
tures there ! That he carried the river under his
aim, that he was very accommodating to women
and men in trying situations, that he performed all
the miraclesaof Moses, and would have held the
magicians of Pharaoh in contempt, is not for a ma
'anent to be doubted.
In a religious point of view, St. Patrick's day has
always' been very generally observed. The memo
ries and solemnities bequeathed it, through the mere
fact of its antiquity, are sufficient to assure the rea
son and conscience of all who observe it, that they
are in such expression of their worship. The
feeling is as deep as it is broad, and inculcates from
the extended basis of emotion the principles of
. a
well-understood truth. To.day will be greeted and
celebrated with observances genuine and general,
and will elicit at once the genius of particular indi
viduals, and the talents of the general mass.
OBSEQUIES OF REV. P. RAFFERTY.—Yes
terday morning, the Church of St. Francis Xavier,
at .Fairmount, was densely filled by a mournful
congiegation to participate in the requiem services
of their 'late pastor, Rev. Patrick Rafferty, whose
deeease had caused such wide.spread sorrow among
those among whom he ministered for many years.
The church and pastoral residence adjoining were ap
propriately bedecked with the habiliments of death,
and
: gave to the occasion a glOomy and impressive
appearance. The deceased clergyman was exposed
to view in the middle aisle of the church, near the
altar, and under the magnificent catafalque, which
Mr. Gartland has so frequently of late had the
mournful duty of erecting in various parts of the
diocese. The pews and aisles were filled, and the
• utmost silence and attention were observed through
out The Society of St. Vincent de Paul and.the
,St. Francis Literary Association, with Mr. Gart
land, managed the funeral details with exactness
and decorum. The latter association was associated
with Father Rafferty in closer connection than the
rest of the congregation . , having claimed him as their
president for many years. The hall of the associa
tion is adorned with a life-sized portrait of Mr. R.,
which represents him as in advanced life, with the
trophies of his mind and experience about him. The
',.Catholic Doctrine," "History of the Reforma
tion," and other works, of which he was the author,
are speaking from the canvas.
The requiem . service at the church took place at
10 o'clock, consisting of Grand High Mass by Very
' Rev. Wm. O'Hara, V. G., who also performed the
absolution of the body, He was assisted by Rev.
- Messrs. Toner and Wright, of the Church of the
Assumption, and forty other clergymen -occupied
places in and around the sanctuary.
An impressive sermon was preached by Rev. J.
B. Byrne, D. D., of the Theological Seminary of St.
Charles Borromeo, in which he traced the life and
workings of the deceased in the cause of religion.
The choir was composed of Rev. Messrs. Koch
and Gillen, of the seminary, and ten students of the
same institution. Mr. Baumeister (one of their
number)
. presided at the organ, and the choir was
directed by Thomas E. Harkins, Esq., leader of the
choir of St. John's Church, Thirteenth street. A.
Requiem Mass was sung in unison, and with much
feeling.
The interment took place at the 'Cathedral Ceme
tery. -
DEATH OF ANOTHER,CATHOLIC CLERGY
MAN The mortality, among the Catholic clergy of
this city has been, of late, a subject of serious mo
ment to the laity of that faith, who can illy spare
any of their priests, their number being now, it is
said, too limited for the requirements of the diocese.
- Late on Sunday evening, Rev. Thomas Lilly died at
the pastoral - residence of St. Joseph's Church, of an'
attack of paralysis. The deceased was born in
Adams county, of this State, October 3, 1806; was
educated at Georgetown College. At the completion
of his studies joined the novitiate. He was employ
ed in the college several years, and then became pas
tor of a church in. Frederick, Maryland. At the
death of Father Carboray, of the Church of St. Ene
gas (Ignatius), St. Nary county, Maryland, he be
came pastor, and subsequently removed to Philadel
phia, and has since been connected with St. Joseph's.
He was an indefatigable laborer in behalf of hie fel
low-man; and his sympathies were confined by no
boundaries of sect or color. He instituted and per;
fected a colored school, which, in its way, was a mo
nument to perseverance and Christian zeal. The
obsequies will take place tb-morro at nine - o'clock,
when Bishop Wood, it is expected, will deliver the
funeral discourse. '
VIOLATION OF THE EJCISE LAW—SETZ
nal: AND CONFISCATION or WHlSlCY.—Although
the excise law may have been violated in numerous
instances, yet none of the offenders were publicly
brought to justice and the penalty prescribed im
posed, until Saturday last. The collector of the
United State.s for the First district, in company with
E. F. Foster, Esq., of Northampton county, pro
ceeded to the store of George Keck, No. 244 North
Delaware avenue, and seized fifty barrels of rye
whisky, the property of Jacob S. Hartzell, distiller
at Nazareth, in that county. This seizure was made
in consequence of alleged frauds on the revenue by
Mr. Hartzell, such as selling and sending off whisky
uninspected, thus avoiding - the payment of the na
tional tax. Mr. Hartzell, it is charged, sold a-con
siderable quantity of whisky to rectifiers, and a
large quantity had been shipped to this city and to
New York.
In some cases, it is further alleged, a few barrels,
not inspected, were smuggled off with marked bar-
Xels, and again the marked barrels were emptied and
returned, in which more upinspected whisky was
sent again to market. The amount which was con
signed to Mr. Keck was valued at one thousand
- three hundred dollars, but he was totally ignorant
of the matter, and when the facts were made known
he placed no impediment in the way of the Govern-
Writ officers who came to take charge of the confis
cated goods. The amount of whisky belonging to
llft. Hartzell was about two hundred barrels, and as
the penalty fle five hundred dollars per barrel, the
lotal amount of the fine is one hundred thousand
4follars. As Mr. 'Hartzell is not reputed to be worth
snore than half this amount, it is doubtful whether
the Whole will be recovered. This attempt to evade
the law was a rather expensive one.
PRESENTATION OF A SWORD.—Last even
ing a sword was presented to Lieutenant Robert
Oldham, Bth Pennsylvania (ivalry, by the workmen
employed in Wood, and Perot's ornamental iron
works. A. suitable inscription gave an additional
zest to , this compliment,"and a handsome sash and
belt rendered the presentation complete. The whole
affair' was as complimentary to the worth Of the
" givers os to him who received.
TERRIFIC BOILER EXPLOSION—LOBS OFi
larn.—Shortly before 8 o'clock, yesterday morning,
a steam-boiler in the forging department at the ex,
tensive locomotive works of Norris & Sons, at the
corner of Seventeenth and Hamilton streets, ex
ploded with a loud report, which was heard at the
distance of several miles. The boiler was of the
kind used in coal-burning locombtives. It was
eighteen inches in diameter, with a twentrtwo-inch
stroke, and was of eightphorse power. The shop in
which the boiler was located was about BO by 60 feet,
part brick and tart frame.
Such was the force of the explosion that the fur
-nace was blown out, and was carried over to Callow
hill Street. The tubes which ran out of the boiler
were burst in every imaginable shape. The boiler
was broken into fragments, the pieces generally
flying in a western by southerly direction; This was
fortunate, as there are no houses located on that
side of the works, or there probably would have
been great loss of life and destruction of property.
One piece of the boiler, weighing about one hundred
and fifty pounds, landed on the lot at Eighteenth
and Callowhill streets. Another piece, weighing
about a hundred pounds, fell upon the iron roof over
the entrance to Asa Whitney &. Sons' car-wheel
factory, 011 Seventeenth' street, above,Clallowhill,
and went through. -
The forge shop was entirely demolished, and all
the machinery was ruined. The heavy chimneys
and the brick portion on Seventeenth street were
not damaged, however. That portion of the build
ing towards Eighteenth street is a complete wreck.
The total loss or danuige to property is estimated at
02,000.
William Rodgers, the engineer, was the only-per
son killed by the explosion. He was cut in two and
his bead was blown off. The upper part of his body
was nothing but a shapeless mass. The lower part was
found beside the pump, and it is supposed that he had
just turned on the water when the disaster occurred.
The deceased was a married man, and leaves six
children. He resided in McAllister street, opposite
the St. Joseph's Hospital. Some time since he fell
from the roof of the establishment and broke h:s leg,
and had just recovered from the effects of that acci
dent.
Several persons made a very miraculous escape.
There are generally eight or ten men working in
that department, and at the time of the disaster two
or three men were in the other part of the building.
These were uninjured, although they were thrown
violently against the wall. About ten minutes be
fore the explosion, three men were engaged in cut
ting iron just alongside the boiler, but they had com
pleted their work and left. Mr. Richard Norris usu
ally makes a round of the works in the morning.
Yesterday morning he went into the forge-shop
and asked -Dlr. Roberts, the engineer,, if all was
right. The reply- was in the affirmative, and he
went back to his office. He had just comfortably
seated himself when the catastrophe happened. '
The concussion caused-by-the explosion was very
great. All the windows in the erecting shop, on the
north side of Hamilton street, were broken, and An
some places the sashes were demolished. Windows
all around the neighborhood were also broken. The
destruction in glass alone will amount to upwards of
$lOO. A small boy who was in the office of Norris
& Son, a square from the scene of the accident, was
thrown upon the floor. A gentleman who resides in
the First ward distinctly heard the report of the
explosion, while parties residing within six or eight
squares of the works felt the concussion.
The cause of the explosion is attributed to 6 a den
ciency in the water in the boiler and the sudden
turning on of the pumps. There had been no work
going on since Saturday night, but the engineer had
been there on Sunday to see if matters were all
right. The insufficiency in the supply of water is
supposed to have been caused by the pipes being
frozen.
The disaster created a tremendous excitement in
the vicinity of the works, and a large crowd won
gathered about the scene. Guards were soon erect
ed, however, to keep the people from venturing too
near the building, some portions of which threatened
to fall every mordent. Nearly all tIM morning per
sons were standing around the shop surveying the
destruction- of property. The damage done to the
property,will probably reach $19,000.
The explosion undoubtedly was caused by a want
of water in the boiler. While Mr. Norris was in
the forge shop he observed some water escaping
over- the sidewalk, and called the attention of the
engineer to the fact. He replied that everything
was right, the escaping water coming from an adja
cent lager-beer house. Mr. Norris, alter seeing that
every thing was in apparently good order, passed to
another portion of the works, and in a few minutes
after this the , explosion occurred. Mr. Norris had
just left the place where the engineer was killed. He,
therefore, made a very narrow escape.
The statement of tone of the men is, that Mr. Rod
gers had just left him; saying that he was going to try
the gauge cocks. It is supposed that he found a
want of water, and, turning the flow, the explosion
was inevitable.
IN SEARCH OF CONTRABAND GOODS.
The lath Pennsylvania Cavalry, Colonel Gallagher,
of this city, commanding, is doing efficient service
as scouts, pickets, and rangers in the neighborhood
of Winchester, Va. They, a short time ago, met
with a disaster, near Strasburg, by which a number
of the members were made prisoners. The affair
was an unfortunate surprise—the first, and it is to
be hoped the last, that has befallen this crack regi
ment. A few days ago General Milroy detailed
Lieutenant James Kane and twenty men, with four
guides, on an especial errand, the nature of which
was not made known to any of the men till they
were secure from the chances of their expedition
being discovered. General Milroy having heard of
a nefarious'den on Cedar Creek, which it was
im
portant to break up, despatched this expedition, and
its success was highly gratifying under the circUm
stances. A participant writes us as follows :
We started at half-past ten o'clock in the evening
of Saturday, passed our own lines, and entered the
" Cedar creek" road, at the extremity of our lines,
on the " Strasburg" turnpike.. After we went about
two miles beyond the lines, Lieutenant Kane called
the men together in line, and stated the duty each
had to perform, the danger of the expedition, the
necessity -of keeping quiet, and acting with valor
and discretion. Added this brave officer, "if I
should run, any one in the party has full priVilege
to shoot me down like a dog, and I will do the same
thing with the first man who dares to flinch, in case
we come in contact with the enemy." With this
speech the- men seemed highly pleased, and went
forth confident of-success. The road leading to the
places to be searched was up mountain and down
again, and around hills, thick woods, through paths
that diverged in all directions.
At the first place we stopped, there were two rebel
soldiers, one of whom escaped through the woods.
On our approaCh he hopped from a back window,
and in a moment was obscured in the woods, the
darkness and rain which fell in torrents preventing
our pursuit. We captured one young fellow in bed ;
found many articles "contraband,".such - as car
tridge•boxes, and several " Secesh" trappings. I
have several packages of rifle cartridges manufac
tured at the Richmond arsenal. I feel a curiosity
about anything belonging to the " - sobs."
After leaving this place we took the unknown road
—to me, at all events, through the woods ; srcceeded
in capturing four Southern emissaries, inhabitants
of those valleys. We also took five horses, contra
band, the property of notorious " bushwhackers,"
who are -a contemptible set of murderers , in this
country. The3r prey upon the property of inoffen
sive people, and if a soldier happens to straggle out
a short distance they kill him for his horse and
equipments.
Our correspondent refers to the numerous captures
of the 13th, whose value it would be difficult to over
estimate.

Waag. Messrs. Daniel Dougherty . and Dennis
O'Brien and Earle, appeared as counsel for defend
ants. Mr. May, one of the firm, testified that the

identify the goods by any private mark.- They looked
like the goods in his store, and such as he had been
using for years.'
Benjamin Levy testified as to the arrest of Des
combes and Jeurs. On searching the former he
found a piece of satin, containing about four yards,
upon him ; the search was made at the store, No. 10 '

Descombes and Juers desired to appear as wit
nesses.- Mr. O'Brien, after a brief conference with
the first named, agreed to let his client go on the
stand. - On being sworn, Descombes testified that
he met Mang at a tavern on Third street, next to the
Northern Liberty Hall ; Waag asked him if he was
a sailor ; witness told-him yes ; . Waag then asked
him if he had anything such as journeyman tailors
generally have for sale ,• witness told him yes, and
both started to the residence of the latter in Dillwyn
street, where he sold about one hundred skeins of
sewing eilk and a boX of buttons'; witness met him
twice after this —. and sold some other parcels,
realizing about $4.50 ; these articles I stole from
the store of Messrs. Troutman & May ; he did not
tell Mr. Waag where he obtained the goods.
Mr. Dougherty, as counsel for Juers, suggested, at
this stage of the proceedings, that the further in
-vestigation of the case be postponed until he could,
have an opportunity of consulting. his client.
This was agreed to, and all the defendants entered
bail in the sum of $l,OOO each to await a further

Outrageous Conduct. '
A man giving the name of John Kenny was ar
raigned yesterday on the charge of committing an
assault and battery, upon the bar-tender of the public
house of-Joseph Huy, on Sunday evening. It seems
that he stopped at the place and called for some oys
ters. After the attendant had opened - them, the
defendant became very saucy, and would neither eat
nor pay for the bivalves. He evinced a desire to
fight the bar-tender. The latter, told him to clear
out. The customer stood like an Ajax defying the
lightning of the culminating wrath of the4ttendant.
Presently a struggle ensued, and the stranger was
thrust into the street. In a short time he returned,
having in his hand a formidable-looking knife, and
flourishing this weapon about as though cutting
imaginary objects in the air, commenced crying out
murder, murder, murder, at the top of his lungs.
At this juncture a. police officer was called in, who
removed the objectionable individual to the statiiii
house. He was ordered to give bail in the sum of
$5OO to answer at court.
Daniel Callahan appeared on the streets drunk,
and decent people were compelled to give him a wide
berth. He defied the powers that be, and said that
no police officer could take him. Thus he entertain
ed the passing crowd, when presently Officer Shourds
appeared, and attempted to arrest the fellow. A
desperate resistance was made, but the officer finally
succeede,d in landing the fellow in the station-house.
He lost the best -part Of his coat, however, in the
struggle. The defendant was ordered to enter bail
in the sum of $6OO, to answer at court.

Larceny of Bed Clothes.
James Kelly is the name given by a young man.
arraigned before. Mr. Alderman Carter yesterday, on
the charge of stealing some bed clothes, the property

conclusive enough by the magistrate, to warrant
him in binding the party over in the sum of $5OO, to
answer at court.

Disorderly House at Germantown
Centre street, in the historical village of German

and a house occupied by Bridget Dougherty was
surrounded by the posse, who summoned the party
to surrender. There was no resistance offered. The
officers entered the place and captured seven peridns,
and conducted them to the station at the Town Hall.
On being arraigned before the alderman they gave
the following names : Bridget Dougherty, Margaret

Betsy Sweeny, Mary . Sweeny, Ann

DECISION IN COUNCILMAN DUFFIELD'S CASE—THE
ACTION OF COMMON COUNCIL SIISTAINED—DECI-
SION IN THE CASE OF COUNCILMAN SAIDOER.
. .
Yesterday morning the decision of the court was
rendered in the case of Thomas J. , Duffield mho
sued out a writ of mandamus to determine the lege
.
lity of the action of Common Council in declaring
his seat vacant in that body, on the ground that he
held office under the United States Government.
The opinion is as follows :
Commonwealth ex rel. Duffield vs. Loughlin and
others. Opinion of the court ,
By LOW.RIE, 0. J.—On the 4th of December last,
the Common Council of Philadelphia declared the
seat of Thomas J. Duffield vacated because he had
accepted an office of trust and profit under the
United States, to wit: the office of general suiperin
tendent ot the clothing - depot of the United States
arsenal. But he was restored by a mandamus from
the Common Pleas, because the Common Council
had proceeded without notice, and perhaps for other,
reasons, and afterwards the judgment of the Com
mon Pleas was reversed in this court, because of ir
regßlarities in the proceeding there, no other ques
tion being then decided here.
After his restoration, the Common Council pro
ceeded in more regular order, and removed him
'-
again.--'Be now applies, to this court for a manda
mus to restore him„ on the ground that the office
held by him is not incompatible with the office of
Councilman. Along with other matters, raising a
question of disputed fact, not now to be discussed,
the Councilmen, in'their returns, claim that their
act in vacating the relator's seat is not subject to
review and'correction by the courts, and to this the
relator demurs, and this raises the question of law,
whether we have authority to interfere. It is the
only question now to be discussed.
The Common Council removed the relator because,
during his term as Councilman, -he had accepted an
office under the United States, and because they sup
posed that he bad thereby become disqualified to ex
ercise the office of Councilman.' And theyijustify the
reason assigned by their referring to the charter act
of 2d February, 1854, section 4, which says that "the
members of the Common Council shall have the
same qualification as are required by the Constitu
tion for members of the House of Representatives,"
and to the Constitution; article 1, section 19, which
says, leaving out irrelevant words, that "no person
holding any office under the United States, shall be
a member of either House (of the Assembly) during
„his continuance in office.”
- Putting these two clauses together, intddis mute*.
dis, they may be readithus No person holding any
office under the United States, shall be a member of
either Council durinshis continuancein such office.
This is the law under which the Common Council
acted in moving the relator, and which they applied
We have, therefore, no difficulty in defining the'
function which the Council was exercisingwhen
it
removed the relator. -It was judging of the :qualifi
cations-of one of its -members. - The question of
holding an incompatible office, as well as those - of
age, residence, and citizenship, is always a questiort

of qualification, and is everywhere so spoken of;
and this question may be raised at any time, and as
Well after the person elected tuts been sworn into
office as before. In nearly all the cases cited in the
argument, and referred to in the case of the Com
monwealth vs. Borne, 17 Serg. & R. 219, the question
Was raised until after the officer had been inaugu
rated, and very oftensthe incompatible office is ac
cepted during the continuance of the one In relation
to which the question of qualificaticin arises. The
case is therefore quite distinct,- from a case of con
tested election, or of expulsion for misbehavior in
office, or for the commission of some infamous
crime.
What,. then, is the tribunal that is to decide
Whether a Councilman has become disqualified by
the acceptance of an incompatible office 1 The an
swer to this question is found in the charter act of
1864, section 35, which deolares that the respective
Councils "shall, in like manner as each branch of
the Legislature, judge and determine upon thespian
flcalions of their members." The proper Council
lids judged and determined this question of
qualifi
cation; and now the question is raised, wharautho
rity have the courts to interfere, so as to review and,
if necessary, correct their decisions?
No doubt the functions and authority of the courts
do extend to all questions of right wilting among
private persons, and between private persons and
corporations, and in the management of - private - cor
lporations ; and this cannot he changed by the Legis
ature, because it is declared by the Constitution in
providing for the judicial department, and assuring
to every one a remedy by due course. of law. It is
founded on the principle that it is necessary for the
order of society, and for the security of persons and
property, that for every wrong, which society re
cognizes as a wrong, there should be a remedy in
some regular and established form.
But, though the courts have this general and in
deft asible authority, they never feel themselves en
titled to exercise it when the parties to the question
have provided a mode of their own for settling their
differencea, unless that mode prove inadequate ; for
they could not do it without violence to the proper
arrangements of the parties. In other words, so
ciety does not need to interfere by its courts and
remedies when theparties have.provided a sufficient
tribunal of their own ; and no question for the courts
is considered as being properly raised, unless the.
private remedy has, in some measure failed in its .
purpose.
Thus, when parties submit their differences to ar
bitrators, and an award is made, the courts do not
try the case over again; but only enforce the award,
if that is necessary. And so in regard to private
corporations; if the articles of association - or the
charter provide a mode of settling disputes about
the corporate rights of the members, the courts do
not feel entitled to interfere, unless when the corpo
rate remedy is inadequate. And a remedy is not re
gat ded as inadequate merely because it produces un
saiisfactory results, but because it has some inhe
rent inadequacy, or- has resulted in some -impracti--
cable decision, or has been 'defeated'of its purpose
by some fraudulent contrivance. No mere misjudg
ment in such cases is sufficient to justify the inter.:
vention of the courts, for no- human tribunal can
te exempt from this, and especially from the charge
of it. ,
- Exactly the same is the rule relative to disputes
arising in' the official organization of public corpo
rations. The Constitution does not require any ju
diciel intervention herein, and the Legislature may
dispense with it; and whenever the corporate law
provides a mode of settling disputes therein without
the introduction of the courts, that mode is deemed
exclusive of the ordinfiry remedies, andthe judicial
authority is dispensed with, because adequately sup
plied. The two political parties in Philadelphia
were in dispute before us twice on this point during
last year and the year before, in Hulsersan's case
and the Sheriff's ease, and _both times We decided
this principle as we now decide it. We cannot sur
render it.
In none of these classes of cases does this rule
leave the parties without ,a remedy; but it refers
them very decidedly to the remedy, public or pri
vate, which has been specially provided ; and it is
usually after this remedy has disappointed their
wishes that they complain - of want of an adequate
remedy. Their meaning, then, ordinarily is that
the special remedy has produced an unfavorable or
displeasing result, and that there ought to-be a
remedy for hat; an argument 'that would allow no'
human tribunal to render a final decision in any
And perhaps this rule ought to be regarded as
much less subject to equitable exCeptions in its ap
plication to public than in its application to private
causes; because measures of civil organization are
not necessarily subject to judicial cognizance, while
questions of private right are. Yet we are far from
saying that there can be no case in which the courts
would be justified in interfering with the adminis
tration of such special remedies even in public
cases.
Here it is clear that the remedy for the case of a
disqualified member is given to the Couacil. It
must judge and determine the question ' and remove
or not, according to its decision. That remedy sets
aside the judicial authority in such cases, except
where it is retained by equitable considerations.
We discover no such equitable reasons here. We
do not even discover that there - was any clear mis
judgment. The Supreme Court seems to have had
much hesitation in saving that the designation of
Mr. Simla' newspaper, for the publication of the
United States laws, was not an appointment of him
to an office'; and probably they would have hesitated
much more to say so in such a case as this, where the
person appears in the Government blue book as an
officer of trust, salary, and authority.
But the case does not need this consideration. No
sort of equity is pretended to be shown in order to
justify. a departure from the remedy specially given
by the law s and equity remedy is fought. ,Our case is
one of pure law in the form of a 'snandamits, and pure
law rejects that as a remedy for the case. The point
taken in the return is sustained, and the demurrer of
• the plaintiff is overruled.
Judgment for the defendants, with costs.
Commonwealth ex rel. Field vs. Barger.. Opinion
by LowErE, C. J. This is a motion for a writ
of quo warranto to try the title of Mr. Barger-.to a
seat in the Common Council of Philadelphia: The
allegation is that duringhis term as Councilman he
was elected a member of the Legislature, and has
aceepted that office which is incompatible with the
other,and that thereby his seat as Councilman is va
cated.- The law applying to the case is in the char
ter act of 1864, s. 4., which decalres that "no mem
ber of the State Legislature shall be eligible as a
member of Councils."
This law is express that one who is a member of
the Legislature cannot be elected 'to Council, but
does not say that a Councilman on becoming arnem
ber of the Legislature loses hit seat' iu (louncil. •
Whether it means this or not we do not know, for it
is not our duty to decide it. It is a question of quali
fication of members of Council, - and - the law com
mits the determination Of all such questions to the
respective Councils and not at all to us, as we have
shown in the case of Mr. Duffield. The two cases
are very different, but the same authority tries them.
Motion overruled at the costs of the relator..

WASIIINGTO27 CITY, March 2, 151.
This Bureau is desirous of ascertaining whether rifled
cannon can be made of wrought iron of sufficient and
uniform endurance and economy to warrant their being
preferred to guns of cast iron only, or of cast-iron'
strengthened with wrought iron.
Proposals will therefore be received from any manu
facturers of forged iron, to furnish a finished gnu, or a
block of metal from which the same may be finished.
The said gun, when finished,- to weigh about 10,000
pounds, to be made into a gun throwing a projectile of
100 pound? as used in' cast iron rifled cannon of like
weight; to'hefired 1,000 times, with serviee charges of
the same weight and kind of powder as used in the Par
rott 100-pounder, viz: 10 pounds of No. 7, without burst
ing or wearing in such a manner as to cause apprehen
sions ofbursting.' _
The quality of metal, price, and other terms, are to be
stated clearly in the proposal forwarded.
The Bureau if serves the right to itself of accepting or
rejecting any of the proposals.
The time for receiving the proposals is limited to thirty
days from date; and proposals will only be received
from persons actually engaged in the fabrication of
wrought iron. JOHN A. DAHLGREN,

PROF. C. 11. BOLLES, 1220 WALNUT Street. - -The
difference between fact and fictions, of permanently
curing the sufier•ing of their disease, and advertising to
cure, and showing no better evidence than offering re
ference of some persons in far-off localities, can well be
appreciated by anxious seekers after health, upon atten
tively reading the following certificates of cases from
some of the most reliable gentlemen of Philadelphia. who -
were permanently Cured by Prof C. H. BOLLES, of
1220 WALNUT Street.
Facts are stubborn things. and as evidence is required
for the establishinent of all facts admitting of the least
doubt, and as the astonishing cures perfored by Prof.
BOLLES are such as no other man has ever performed in
this or any other city, it seems important in the present
case to offer some proof by way of certificates from some
of the most reliable gentlemen of this city, and More
because there are some in this city who have ti' El auda
city to claim to treat according to Prof. BOLLES'
covery, and these same persons are really ignorant of the
Positiye or Negative Poles of any Electrical Machines,
and therefore. Prof. BOLLES bas cautioned the sick
against trusting their health in such feckless hands.
Read the following certificates of cures of most obsti
nate diseases by Prof. ,730 lice, - 1220 Walnut street,
Philadelphia.
-
The-first cure was performed three years ago. and
continues well to this date :
About nine years ago I had a severe attack of dyspeptic
symptoms, which increased on me during the whole
time, and. I supposed, and also my physicians that
treated me, that my real disease was dyspepsia, and at
first was treated for that disease. My symptoms were at
first great hunger, and bad and exhausted feeling in the
stomach, only when I ate often. Sometimes, however,
I experienced loss of appetite, very disa,greeable nausea
- in the stomach, pain in the epigastrum, heartburn, great
fellness about the stomach, and painthrongh. the pyloric;
;taloa ; a feeling sometimes of great weight in the sto
mach, collection of ite.liii;;; rn the stomach, fetid
taste in the mouth._ When the SeiseOf hunger came
on as above ,described, I had a sense of ;tittering
about the chest, and a sinking faint-feeling at, en.G
.pit of I.he stomach, which was, in my first attacks,-re
lieved only by taking food.. and many times in mywallts'
through the streets of Philadelphia, when these sinking
spells came on, I was obliged to call at some restaurant
and take food, hut this only relieved me for the present
time, and thus I suffered for years under: the best medi
cal treatment in the city. ' However, my physician at
last pronounced my disease cancer in ,the stomach. I
continued to be treated for what I was informed to be
a cancer up to the time that Professor Bolles came to
this city and advertised his important discovery in the
application of Galvanism and other modifications of
Electricity. for the cure of (as he announced) acute and
chronic diseases, and more especially cancers, tumors.
white swelling. Ac. I immediately called on Prof.
Bolles, at 1220 Walnut street, for advice in my case. I
will here state that .I considered My case a hopeless one,
but notwithstanding this, my hopes were at once re
vived, when Prof. B. frankly told me that he could
cure me in a few day a, and I am frank in saying that in
twelve or fourteen, treatments I was perfectly cured.
This cure to me looks mysterious, and will ever appear
a wonder of wonders, but to Prof. B. all seemed cer
tain, as he remarked at the commencement that he knew
to a day how long, it would take to, produce a cure.
I Sin certain of a permanent care from the fact that
about two years have elapsed since my cure. and I have
bad no symptoms of return. I think Professor Bolles
has made a very important discovery in the application
of Electricity for the certain care of acute and chronic
diseases, know of a great number of persons whom he
has cured of the Most obstiv ate diseases, both acute and
chronic. I have watched his success for more than two
years, and take pleasure in recommending his scientific
discovery to suffering humanity. I shall take pleasure
in being referred to by the diseased.

The following wonderful cure of -Epilepsy was per
formed more than eight months ago and remains well
to this d a te: •
Read the following attentivel3r
The following is a statement of facts in reference to my
condition and astonishing cure of Epilepsy:
For five years previous to my knowledge of Professor
C. H. Belies' discovery of the therapeutic administra
tion of Galvanism; Magnetism, and other modifications
of Electricity for the cure of all acute and chronic
diseases, I had been severely afflicted with Epileptic
Fits of the most obdurate character, and had abandoned
all hopes of ever being cured, as I• had for years tried
the treatment and reeseve.il the counsel of the most emi
nent Medical Men of the States, with the view of obtain
ing relief if any could be'-found"among the Old Schools ;
but all my -efforts were unavailing, and, therefore, all
bones were abandoned, as I then knew of no greater
skill for the cure of obstinate C&Ses than in the Old
Schools. About six months ago my mind was turned
to invosiiesde the new discovery of Prof. C. H. Bol
les, 1220 Walnut street, and. after noticing several
certificates of cures which were published, and some
from persons with whom I was. acquainted, and
knew them to be reliable men, I was in duced - to
cell on the Professor, and obtain his opinion of trirmi-se.
After lie had examined me about ten minutes, he frankly
;informed me that he could cure me, and offered to give
me a written warrantee of a complete cure, and in case,
Of a failure to charge me nothing. This at first seemed
- 'sin impossibility; but the frankness and earnestness of
the Professor convinced, me of his scientific accuracy in
the diagnosis of - my case. He disclosed all my sufferings
and symptomafor five years past as well as I knew them
• myself. I will here state, for the good of humanity,
and especially those suffering as I was, that am nor
- fectiv cured. I farther would state that more than four
months have elapsed since my cure; and I have had no
symptoms, and, therefore.feel confident that I am cured.
I shalt take pleasure in being referred to, at any time, by
any one s u ffering as I was, and any information of my
:condition - pevious to my cure will Street,y -rthon to any
One at 1512 North THIRTEENTH Philadelnbla.

N. B.—Professor - C. N. BOLLES will publish, from
time to time,certificatesof the cure of chronic casesisehich
bad resisted the treatment of the most eminent medical
men for years.
Please take notice that Professor B. does not advertise
any certificates of cures, except those cared in this el tY.
