The Organization of the City COUN
CILS.—The reorg.nizution of the City Oounoila will
take' place bn next Monday morning, January 4th.
The minority of there bodiee have succeeded during
the past two years by a >y stem of stupendous fraud
in overruling the majority composed of Union men.
Secret efl'orts were made recently by au : aspiring
member who has deceived his constituents in par
ticular, and everybody else generally, to still subvert
the true government of the city, by resorting to a
fraud. The present Chief Clerk, it was understood,
was to omit the names of two members, Messrs. J.
Inman Kicbie and E. Spencer Miller, both of whom
aie Union members; this would leave only twenty
three members in Council, instead of twenty-five—
the malcontents having twelve of this number, pro
vided they all pulled together.' This all 'looked
very pretty on paper. But that movement hai been
effectually checkmated. Mr. James Lynd, the presi
dent of the Select Counoil, was re-elected at the recent
caucus. He, therefore, under the law, would come
in'as a new member. This important fact was
gravei'.y considered, and plotters were just as wise as
so many owls. But the affair leaked out, and the
Union members were ready to meet the attempted
fraud. Mr. Lynd, the president, resigned, and Mr.
John Q,. Ginnodo, Union member hoUling over, was
elected to All the position thus vacated. 'The olerk
who holds over for a few minutes, and then expires
with the present dynasty, must obey the orders of
Mr. President Ginnodo. Thus the organization of
the Seleot Council is in tho keeping of the Union
members. In the Common Council the Union ma
jority is a litle larger, and it is not probable that any
attempt will be made in.this shatnbor to subvert the
true governing power. It is quite likely that Mr.
Leech, ol the Twenty-fourth ward, who holds his
•sat by a fraud for which a majority of the election
judgea tuffered impiisonment, will have leave to re
tire, as the Union members are of the opinion the
city will not at all suffer beoause of his absenoe. Of
course there will be some excitement at the time of
the organization, but no particular outbreak or vio
lence il apprehended. The aff air is simply a strug
gle to retain power in detlanoeof the mighty Jiat of
the majority of the people of Philadelphia.
The Drilling of Youth.— The Junior
State Guards recently organizged In the Fifteenth
ward, have already arrived at a wonderful degree of
perfection, so muohsoas to astonish all spectators.
The meeting plaoe of thiß company is on Coates
street, above Nineteenth. Uhe time of drilling is on
eaoh Tuesday evening. A prominent member of the
Legislature, who has witnessed the display,' has ex
pressed an opinion that an not ought to be passed by
the authorities of the State, making it obligatory
unon the youth of the State to perfect themselves in
military exercises. The question is one or Impor
tance. and it has beoome quite a topic of conversa
tion in different circles. All that Beems to be re
ouirsd at the present time, is for some one or two
persons in each ward to move In tne matter, and thus
start the military ball.
Besides, the importance of education in- military
soienoe, the movement will be beneficial to health.
Physical humanity will become straightar and more
untight. In the next generation, if proper attention
be paid to the youth of the present, there will be
fewer men walking through the streetß so round
shouldered, or with beads bowed down, as to seem
deformed, or to be making a tour on a pin-hunting
e3< fi e seems likely that the movement started in the
Fifteenth ward will beoome general in our city and
Other cities or the Union. It requires no great
atietoh of the imagination to form some idea what
kind Of people the next generation would likely
proveto be, if the youth of to-day were properly
trained in military exercises
Since the introduction of steam engines into our
Fire Department, there are far less numbers of boys
found loitering about eDgine houses. They should
have something, however, to occupy thßir attention,
besides the work of learning trades or professions.
In other words, the idle hours of boyhood could not
be better spent than In military training.

Recruiting.—The number of men mus

exoeeded that of an; week since the lest call of the

the large bounty paid by the city and Government,
and also that paid by the Twemy-fourth ward. It
la highly probable that thla ward will fill her quota
by the appointed time, and it would be good policy
if the other warda would hold meetings as early as

Life Insurance. — Quite a spirited ri
valry has, for some time pa>t, be>n maintained by
Hfe insurance companies doing business upon whan
is commonly known as ihe cash ano note systema-
We have leceived lrom the Mutual Life Insurance
Company of New York, represented in this city by
Mr. F. Rate Mord fcstarr, 400 Walnut street, a
pamphlet illustrating the practical workings of
these two system*, by policies taken out in the
same year (1846), for same amount, and on persons
of the same age. The period these policies have
been in existence (seventeen ye*ra) has given ample
opportunity to test the two modes of insurance, and
the public are deeply Interested in knowing the re
sults. By an advertisement in another column it
will be seen that these pamphlets may be had, free
of expense, at 400 Walnut street $
The unparalleled suocess of the Mutual Life In
surance Company of New ork is too well known
to need any recommendation from us. Its cash re
ceiptsthis year will, we believe, exceed two millions
of dollars, and the interest on investments more
than covers the losses and expenses, leaving the
enormous revenue from premiums to accumulate
for the benefit of insurers, who are the only ones
that participate in tie profits. This accounts for
the -large dividend declared by this company this
year, and which exoeeded in amount; and in propor
tion to premiums paid, that of any other life insu
rance company in the world. As each policy-holder
has the option of applying his dividend in adding
to the sum insured, or in reducing his premium,
tbUB giving a “ definite policy with a DECREAS
ING PREMIUM, Or BU INCREASING POLICY WITH A
definite premium,” the great objection to life in
surance is removed, inasmuoh as the dread of having
to drop the policy for want of funds, and thus lose
all that has been paid, is overcome by haying no
thing to pay for the policy. There are gentlemen in
this city holding policies in this company who not
only need not pay premium, but may receive a cash
annuity during the remainaer of their lives. In
other words, this company, after a few years, pro
vides for the family of the aßßured, free of expense
to him, and gives him a cash income for his support
the rest of his days.
The Storm.—A northeast rain-storm pre
vailed yesterday, and resulted in swelling the ice
bound streams to so great an extent as to remove
the wintry enamel. It was broken into small fields
and carried away by the swelling current. This is a
tide that is not at all likely to carry the ice mer
chants on to fortune A rain storm like that of
yesterday damped their aspirations for a supply of
the great luxury of summer. The wholesale dealers
ought to have everything iu readiness to gather in
the ice as soon as it has reached a clever thickness,
and not wait until the ioe is formed before employ
ing bards sufficiently strong to gather it in. Have
the men ready, or there will not be ice enough for the
soldiers of the Union next summer.
Owing to the storm, the Delaware and the Schuyl
kill, fed by their tributaries from the mountain
legions, were very high, but no damage resulted so
far as we could learn.

the 'Women’s Branch of the United States Sanitary
Commißßion to be oa- guard againat a female who*

of the "United States Sanitary Commission, If they
can, should by all means give a full description of
the woman to the detectives, at Fifth and Chestnut
streets. The real need of help Is so -pressing at the
present time, that it is Important to exercise discri

of the poor be directed to investigate the manner in
whioh the out door poor are supplied with coal and
wood on orders of the Guardians of the Poor, which
was also agreed to, and the Board adjourned.
Christmas at Satterlee Hospital.—
Christmas was a gala-day with the Inmate* of the
West Philadelphia Military Hospital. A sumptuous
repast had been provided for the soldiers, and was
served up under the care of a largenumber of patri
otic ladies, whose presence added great brilliancy to
the ocoaslon. The various departments of the build
ing were proiusely and elegantly tfeoorated with
wreaths, festoons, and symbolical devices, of ever
greens. In the arrangement of whioh much taste was
displayed. The utmost satisfaction prevailed among
the men. Good humor and hilarity were the order
of the day. Basking in the bmiles of the fair, and
revelling In the luxuries of the well-furnished tables,
the wan worn heroes seemed to forget their grlefß in
the enjoyment of the hour- Even those longings
after home,which are irrepressible at such a season,
seemed to have become a source of quiet, meditative
pleasure, rather than of aotual pain.
The National Finances.—The sub
scription agent reports tbe sale of $1,167,660 five
twenties, on Monday. Deliveries of bonds are being
made to November 21st, inclusive. Only seventy
millions of this loan remain unsold, and the organi
zation of National Banking institutions Is making
a large daily reduction.
A Relic of Antiquity.— The “old mitt
•ion,” at the northwest comer of Race and Crown
streets, to whioh attention ha# recently beendlreeted
by the papers, was, during the occupation of the city
by the British army in 17TT-8, the headquarters of
Lieutenant Colonel Johnson, m command of the
28th Regiment, and the staples.in whioh the [flag
staff was inserted- are still remaining in the peak of
the east gable. Another incident of the periodfeon
nectedwlth the building may, perhaps, be deemed
worth mentioning. On the evening of June Ist, *7B,'
whilst the commandant was slttirg reading at the
window, the sentinel on duty, an old grenadier,
paolng the pavement' in front, and a lad, the son of
the owner of the house, sitting on the steps, a gun
was fired from a man-of-war lying in the stream off
Race street wharf. The sentinel stood for a moment,
then stepped up to the Colonel, and touching his
bear*skin oap,*said—“That gun was shotted sir I”
Johnson started to his feet, and gazed earnestly up.
the street, and the grenadier resumed his walk. The
lad,in afterlife, in narrating this incident, would
also allude to the Intense interest evinced by the
officer, and the utter indifference of the soldier as to
the effect of the ball. At the commencement of the
present century haunted houses were still the fashion
in Philadelphia. The reminlsoent believes that
fashion has now passed away. This building, stand
ing alone (good grounds for suspicion ol ghostdom in
those days), with its dark brown, alternating with
blaok brick,'since painted over, and itsßombre as
pect, rendered more so by the thiok foliage then
surrounding it, did not eßoape an imputation so in
convenient to landlords who had houses to rent,
and tenants who required domestic aid. But what
confirmed the unfavorable impression thus pro
duced, was tbe apparition at uight about the grounds
of “ a figure in white.” This was the then mistress
of the house, whose passion for flowers often led her
. round her garden to see the influence upon her plants
of the.night air. - The garden, then covered the site
of the present church buildlag on the north, and ex
tended round to Fifth street, where was the stabling
of the establishment. The extensive back buildings
of the house were taken down about forty years
ago. It is notioed in Watson’s Annals, 1,441, and
at p. 181 of Winthrop Sargent’s picturesque mono
graph of Andrd, The building is now “The Sol
dier’s Home.”
Miserable Inebriates. Whenever a
sudden “ cold snap” of weather cornea upon the peo
ple, there is & class, who at once seek refuge in
the station houses. This class is composed of mise
rable inebriates, far down upon the soale of humani
ty. The Cherry* street station, the Union-street,
tne Second-district station, are places of peculiar
attraction for.the poor besotted victims of intempe
rance. Philanthropic persons, who can stand blas
phemy and obscenity, might open their eyes in be
holding one or two-of the scenes that have come
under our personal notice within a week. These
degraded and disgusting victims of shocking dissi
pation, AS we view them huddled together around
ihe,furnace doors, look like. so many fiends of a hu
manftieH, Here sets one in.the ashes, rockiogsher
self to and fro; a tquallid: baby wrapped in rags is
huddled close to her rum-soaked bosom; the woman
sings M Oh, yer.daddy isgone.to.be a soger.” There,
in another corner, a female inebriate has a spasmo
dic attack of delerium tremens, and she wants the
snakes taken from her arms. Three or four deserted
children are in one mass, hungry and forsaken.
Here is a woman just brought iu; she has a calico
dress on—nothing more. She was partly frozen in
an alley. These are the scenes of the stations by
midnight, any one of which ought to make a sensi
ble persoD careful bow he or she indulges in that po
tent thing that steels away the brains. During the
very cold weather nearly all the station houses con
tain six temperance lectures per week—sound prac*
tical doctrine. '
Military Instruction.—A school of
military instruction has been established ; at the
headquarters of the United States colored troops,
on Chestnut street, where persons who desire to be
come officers of colored soldiers have an opportunity
to perfect themselves in military science. Col. John
H. Taggart has been appointed preceptor of the
school* There will be three sessions dally. When
the pupils have gained sufficient knowledge, they
will be sent to Camp William Penn to drill the’ sol
diers there. Col. Taggart is a Philadelphia printer,
and has seen much service in the Army of the Po
tomac. The power to impart knowledge is a promt'
nent characteristic of Col* Taggart. In fact he was
the military reporter for a number of years in Pnila
delphia before the rebels raised their bloody arms
against the ensign of the nation.
Arrival of the Massachusetts.— The
United States supply steamer Massachusetts, Lieut.
William H. West commanding, arrived off'the navy
yard yesterday afternoon, from the South Atlantic
Blockading Squadron. Slie touched at Fortress
Monroe, on the way here, :from which place the
latest news from off Charleston were telegraphed here
and published in The Press of yesterday. She re
ports the ice very heavy in the river from New
Oaßtle to this city.

Sudden Deaths.—An unusual number of
Budden deaths have occurred recently in this city,
admonishing the living the uncertainty of. life.
Yesterday, two persona died very suddenly in the
upper part of the city. One of them, named William
McCormick, died at a house on Montgomery street,
above Girard avenue. The other John Ittayivhirter,

CBefore Mr. Alderman Bsltis?. 1
Arreated at Laiti
The Central Station presented no hew or publicly
interesting feature yesterday, whioh may seem
somewhat strange after so great a holiday as that
whioh the people have just enjoyed. Christmas* as
a whole, was indeed a season-of merriment. The
police, of course, allowed some latitude for general
enjoyment, and although a score or so of young men
were arrested on Christmas evening, for going be*
yond the bounds of prudence, yet it is an agreeable
faot to state that nothing serious happened, auoh as
have taken plaoe during the Christmas holidays.
We have known, in some instances, several mur
ders to have been committed on Christmas eve in
the very heart of the city, within a stone’s throw of
the Control Station., Storekeepers, In almost any
numbers, were astounded on the morning after
Christmas, to find thousands of dollars’ worth of
goods removed by burglar thieves from their places
of business. But the present season, our olty was
comparatively clear of heavy robberies. We have
no Christinas murders to ohroniole. The only owe
of any public Interest heard at the Central Station
yesterday .was that of ajyoung man giving the name
of John Lovett, who was charged with breaking
Into the house of Mr. John B.’Jenkins, on Eleventh
street, near Fine, on the 13th of last June, and steal
ing therefrom a gold watch and chain. The chain
Wftß recovered. The accused was committed. _

Pasting an Altered Kote.
John Davis and Another colored man stopped at
the public house or store of James Avery, on Lom
bard stfcet, near Sixth, • •
Davis said ! “ I guess you oan’tohange a ten-dol
lar note for two drinks, can you?”
“Well, I guess jl can't,” said Avery, “I haln’t
got that muoh change.”
Then the other colored man said, “Buy a turkey,
den he’ll produce the change.”
A turkey, was bought at a liberal price*
The note was handed to, the seller, but he not
having quite enough change, went to a neighboring
store. • •
The note was here discovered to be a one altered

The Union Bank Counterfeit-
A man giving the name of Jacob Christine was
arraigned, in the Twenty* fourth ward, yesterday, on
the charge of passing counterfeit five-dollar notes,
Union Bank. A. number of persons appeared against
biro, and testified that be had passed the notes upon
them. These notes are signed J. J. Huoker, cashier*
The name of tbe cashier is J. J. Huokel. This faot
does not clear the accused. Of course, the oharge of
forgery cannot, perhaps, legally be laid against him;
but the revised penal code provides for spurious
notes. The defendant was committed. The reader
should not be misled in regard to the signature, for
some of the counterfeits may have the name of the
cashier signed to them. The engraving of the no be
is pronounced excellent by competent judges. A
new plate will probably be issued by the bank, in
order to protect the community from loss by the
well-arranged counterfeits.
A Scene by the Wayside
Early on Christmas morning, professional busi
nejß keeping ua out. we were not a UtUe amused at
a scene that fell under our observation. '
A pretty well-dressed man had won a turkey at a
raffle, which he desired to take home. The man
was in a perfectly good humor, but decidedly and
unequivocally intoxicated. He was talking to a tree
on the sidewalk. .
: “Look here, old fellow, ’’said he, “I won this
turkey fair.”
“ I tell you I did.”
“ Then, if you begrudge it to me, vy take it, that’s
all. Maybe yer family aint got none for Christmas.”
Here he offered the turkey to the tree, let go of it,
and down it fell upon the ice, bright as the rays of a
cloudless moon. He stooped to get it. He swayed
backward and forward, then slipped, then tried to
regain his equilibrium; then his hat fell off; then
he tried to recover it, and finally succeeded, but he
could not put it on, &b the crown Beemcd to be in
the way. To see a funny drunken man on tbe ice
is one of those scenes that cannot fail to be amusing.
Presently the inebriated gentleman fell sprawling
on the turkey, and'remained in thispoßitibn for
some time. It seemed impossible for him to get up.
“Look here, mister, won’t you lend & feller a
helping hand.” Thiß was spoken to the tree.
“Well, if yer won’t, then I’ll do without you. I
won the turkey fair. Didn’t I spend ail my money?”
After gyratingashorttime, the effects of the liquor
began to pass away, and the victim to its power be
came conscious enough to see himself as others saw
him. Tbe tree to him ceased to be human; the man
was bewildered, and finally proceeded, as well as
could be expected, down the Btreet with a “ shocking
bad hat” smashed on his head, and a pretty-well
smashed turkey in bis hand. There was one truth
enunciated by the individual that has been the ex
perience of thousands: Turkeys won at raffles in
the evening generally cost the winners more money
than it would take to purchase a pair In market,
and it not unfrequently happens that the individuals
have the painful interest of a first-class headache in
the morning.
LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.
In the Supreme Court at Nisi Prius, and the
United States District Court, nothing of interest
transpired yesterday.
In the Court of Oyer and Terminer and Quarter
Session*, the following cases were disposed of:
Edward Parker was convicted of having com
mitted an assault and battery on Jesse Williams.
The offence was committed at Shinn’s Hotel, on
Broad street, on the night after the last election,
and grew out of a dispute about the result of the
election.
JohnMolivain and Sarah Mcllv&in were con
victed of a charge of having committed an assault
and battery on Monis Taggart.
The Court adjourned at an early hour.
