t r ,1 SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1865. THE CITY. THE ST. Louis COUNCILMEN.—Yester day the St. Louis councilmen occupied the third day of their stay in this city in almost the same manner as they aid the previous ones. In the morning the Insane Asylum was visited. The party were cordially received by Dr. Kirkbride, and .welcomed to the institu tion. They were then shown through the Various wards of the Asylum. They stated that nowhere throughout their travels had they seen anything to equal the institution. Part e rne patients were wandering in the yards enjo:‘ ing at will the line weather and beauti ful day. The celebrated glass woman is no longer an inmate of the Asylum. She died a short time since. For twenty-Ave years she lived within its walls, continually declaring that she was wa d e of glass, and petitioning the attendants not to touch and break her. The tea-kettle man is also another of the de parted wonders of the house. Year after year he was wont to stand in a corner of the aisles, with one hand resting on his hips and the other extended like a spout. At six o'clock he faithfully proceeded to the kitchen and took his station by the range, waiting his turn - to be boiled. A number of other eccentricities were explained to the guests. They met a fel low-i ownsman there. His singular mono mania is the belief that he is insane. He gives all his business matters to the care of Mr. Valle, of the City Council of St. Louis, and comes to Philadelphia, placing himself volun tarily under treatment. After a few weeks' care he fancies that he recovers, and is per mitted to go home. At noon the committee took their departure, An unfortunate creature, just as the guests Were leaving, handed one of them a bunch of dried grass, which she said she plucked as cu rative of all ills from the tree of life. The grass was kept by the recipient and will doubt less accompany him to lila far-off Westera home, where he will preserve it as a memento of his visit to this home of the wretched. The St. Louisiana from the Asylum took their way to the Eastern Peniteniary. The clean. liness and order of the halls and grounds struck them with surprise. They were con ducted by the warden, Mr. John S. Galloway, through the corridors. The cells were thrown open for their inspection, and every facility Veit them to see everything. An average of o criminals is the daily amount of commit ments to the prison. The cells are vacated and refilled constantly. The latest arrival from the city courts is the notorious Peter B. Sanford. He was committed on Thursday for a term of three years on one charge of picking poek eta. Two other clear and special accusa tions are now pending before the Quarter Ses sion,. At one the delegation proceeded to the House Of Refuge. They were here treated, as else where with thereatest cordiality and kind ness. This building, of all others, is of in teret. ' to the St. Louis people, as some months since 'The Refuge of their city was destroyed by are, and the Council intend erecting upon the site of the old one a model building. .Everytiaing was carefully watched by them; ,and ', v ery we to judge by appearances, made agreat and favorable inipregglou upon their minds. The statistics of the workbag wards, where the boys make chairs, matches, brushes and boxes, was to them au-especial matter of interest. After a stay of about an hour and a half they returned to their quarters at the Girard Rouse. Alter partaking of dinner the carriages were again ordered and the delega tion wended their way to the great monu ment of Stephen Girard—Girard College. Here again, all was carefully inspected. ir. Horner, the City engineer, and Dir. Dyer, of the Councils, did not accompany the party on the morning trip. They had. been in company with Senator Ridgway and Mr. Z. McGrath, to the various . manufactures of the passenger railroad Cara, and examined the construction and plan of the different roads. The gentle men, tired out with their day's work, ih the evening remained quietly at the hotel.

The engineer had' been at work about the, ma chi-very, oiling. and adjusting it for the Work . it has to do, when a spark from his lamp - fell among a bag of loose papers, and it and an other one near it were soon in flames, A dense smoke aroSe, obseuring everything, but the engineer, at personal risk, grasped the burn packagog anddragged them into the boiler room. Here tile blaze mounted through the grating in the pavement ; the front Mee was led. with smoke, and the clerks hurriedly locked up the books and valuables in the safe, concluding that there at least they would be Secure from the flames. Meanwhile, an alarm °Dire was sounded and the fire departMent was promptly on hand. A stream from the Hiber nia Steam Fire• Engine quickly extinguished the flames, and all was again serene. FIRE.--The alarm of fire at 5 o'clock, yeatei‘tiny afternoon, was caused by the par tial burning of Simonson's coal-oil refinery at Belgrade and York streets t caused by the bursting of a still.

FOOT AMPUTATED.—Thomas McGee, who had his foot crushed about a week since, on the Norristown Ilailroad, suffered amputa tion of the injured limb yesterday afternoon. Court of Quarter Aessious Hon. James B. Ludlow, Associate Justice. DESERTION DAY. Yesterday having been set apart for tiOtearing of desertion eases, Thomas K. Finletter, Eq.,Do lieltor of the Onardians of the. Poor, appeared in court as prosecuting attorney. The dock was tilled with persons charged with de serting their better or worser halves. In the ease of the female charged with assaulting a school teacher, the jury convicted; and the court sentenced her to a line of twenty dollars and costs. Mrs. David Stackhouse complained that she had been married to David five years, and had one child fourteen months old. He had only worked_ one week dicing the fire Years, and then he gave the money to his Mother. He has also been in the army. Ordered to pay week to 10.4 wife and $1 to the child. Mrs. Patrick licPeak testified that her husband Made $lB a week, out of which he gave her $2 week up to two weeks since; she did not know how long else had been married but prodneed her certificate. Judge Ludlow to prisoner. if - on should not be in that dock, but at house with your family. Ordered to pay $3 a week for the wife and $1.50 for the child. Mrs. W. H. Kerlin is the mother of three children; her husband left her last April. On cross-examination the witness produced a marriage eertidediei but there is no date upon it; her first husband was killed at the fleet battle of Bull Hun. The case was continued. • . Mrs. Michael Coyle, claimed support front her husband. He was on crutches, having been shot in the leg, and informed the court that when he enlisted he had no children, but when he came from the army, he had two, much tO his surprise. The case was continued. Mrs. John Rourke has two children and her hus band left her last October. She thought he was an engineer on the Reading Railroad. Counsel for the husband, said be had filed a libel for divorce from his wife, on the ground of adultery. The action of the court irthg umspanded. Mrs. Charlet. Wright colored, complained - that her husband left her seventeen months ago. She has two children. The husband said his wife told him to go and he went. He was ordered to pay S 3 a week Mrs. George H. Grover, complained that her hus band left her on the lath of January last, at the time they were married. He is ahorse dealer, and makes $lOO a mouth. The father of the defendant testified that he worked for him When he pleased, but did not receive any stated salary. Sometimes he gave him Vs or $2O spending money. George was ordered to pay IM a week, The court saying if he had no employment it was high time lie had. Judge Ludlow had seventy-nine desertion cases on his list, all of which had accumulated in six weeks. A number of eases were heard, in which husbands and wives had separated because of some trifling difficulties. Judge Ludlow gave both parties good advice, en joining upon them to live together in happiness. There ls always a sister-in-law.bnother-in-law, or some outside relative to stir up these disturbances. It is high time that the community should know that when a man marries a woman he does notundertake to support her whole family. In nearly every case that Wag beard the wife was posted by some outside relative. If relatives would leave husbands and wives together in peace, there would not be so many cases to occupy the attention of the court. It is as tonishing that many distinguished members of the bar will come into court and advocate these eases, causing a more bitter feeling than is necessary. The Grand Jury made their presentment as fol- Owe : To his Honor. J. R, LUDLOW, Judge at Canrt of Oyer and Terminer and Quarter Sessions of the Peaee.for the City and County of Phtiade The Grand Inquest of the Commonwealth or Penn sylvania, inquiring for the city and county of Phi ladelphia, for August session, upon their respec tive oaths and affirmations do present: That they have acted upon eight hundred and thirty-hills, ere hundred and sixty-six of which have been found "true Milt," and two hundred and sixty four have been ignored. The Grand Jury have called before them a great number of witnesses, revealing a vast volume of crime, much of it of the most atrocious character. They are glad to know that many of the criminals against whom indictments were found have been brought to speedy trial, and upon conviction, have received from your Honor it quick and condign sen tence. It is only by thus dealing in a sum:Mary manner with heinous offenders that we can hope to abate the growing volume of crime, and drive cri minals ftom our midst; and we most earnestly com mend your example of merited severity to criraiv nals to your associates, believing that the condition of affairs requires a using of the "terrors or the law" to their utmost limit. . . A great number of the cases of "assault and bat tery," brought before the body, are of a trifling na ture, growing out of the jealousies and evil-speak ing of neighbors, and arelunworthy the time occupied and expense Incurred in the hearing of them. In very many instances the prosecutors suppose that when they have had the assailants "bound over" the matter is ended; in many other cases to have the assaulting party bound to " keep the peace" would satisfy the aim of the prosecutor, and the ends ofjustice. If it is lawful for the alderman so to do, without making a return to the District Attorney, we are sure that by following that course in all minor cases great expense would be saved to the county, as well as to all concerned. The fruitful source of three-fourths of all the Crime developed to our experience is the use of in toxicating drinks. Licensed and unLicenaed ta verns, saloons, and drinking-sho_ps .spring up on every corner and in every street, like mushrooms, In a night, until the evil flowing forth from them is disturbing, in an unwonted manner, the peace and happiness of society; filling our streets with drunk enness, lewdness and vice•, our .pyisons with crimi nals, and sending numberless victims into an un timely grave. - It is neither the province of judge or jury to make /mos, they can only execute them; but we can point the people to the source from which so much crime emanates, and exhort them to seek through wise and just legislation an adequate remedy. During four years of "furious war" tile People have proved by their patience, courage., and forti tude their ability and determination to defend and maintain ours as a Government of and •for the peo ple; and now, in these days of peace returned, if they will enjoy the blessings of peace and the Com forts of pure and virtuous society. free from the fear of crime, they must take, into their own keep• ing the trust of electing good and wise legislators, and the eradicating of the evils now existing in the community. , The Grand Jury would present as a most serious nuisance the practice of half-grown boys and young men, of idle and immoral habits, collecting and sit ting le. front of cigar shops and drinking saloons, and lounging around in such a manner as to inter fere with the free use of the sidewalks by citizens, particularly upon Sundays, when going to and from their places of worship, and indulging in obscene and insulting remarks to females and others passing by. Whilst this nuisance is more prevalent In the less central districts, the corners in the Most thronged portion of ourlashionatee thoroughfares are not without their loungers, who, if better dressed than their fellows, are none the less an in convenience to citizens, and, with the whole class, are proper subjects for suppression and dispersion by the polite autileritleB. That the nuisance has been so long suffered to exist unabated, is not cre ditable to those whose duty It is to prevent such gatherings. The Grand Jury have made the usual visits to the County. Prison, the House of Refuge, Eastern Peni tentiary and Almshouse, The County Prison is overcrowded with inmates, and to remedy the evil we suggest that the cells of the Debtors' apartment —very many of which are unused—should at once be arranged and fitted to suit for criminal purposes. The sanitary condition is all that could be expected. The condition of the other institutions seemed to be all that could be desired, except that it appeared to a number of the jury that the hours of labor for the boys at the House of Refuge were more, than at their age, - was best for their permanent good. - Knowing the wisdom and philanthropic spirit that has ruled, and still'rules In the institution, we make the suggestion, without holding a settled opinion; , realizing that a full&r observation and larger know ledge might not confirm the impressions of a cur sory view.
