THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 18GG. CITY INTELLIGENCE IJbr Additional City Intvlivjcnce tee FifUi 2'agr. Alumni Meeting. Last evening a large Audience assembled at the Musical Fund Hall, to listen to the exercises of the annual meeting of the nigh School Alumni. Mr. Charles Buck- niter made the introductory speech, as fol lows i Ladies and Gentlemen: The honor devolves upon me as President ot this Association to open the- exercises of the evening by what we are pleased to term an introductory address, but which on this occasion I tear shall he nothing more than an exprefsion or a few desultory Ideas which teem to me not to be entirely out of place. At this lute day, and in tills city, distin guished lor its literary culture, I imagine no thing new could be uttered on the mibioct of the impoitance of popular education, nothing that ? ou are not already cognizant ot and thoroughly mpressed with. Yet on this anniversary of the organization of this association, offspring a it is of the great recognized bead ot the Public School system of Pennsylvania, both custom and circumstance seem to impose upon me the duty oi saving at least something which Is not en-, tiiely ioreign to this deeply interesting subject. This day one year ago we were lust emerging irotn the darkness which had enwrapped our souls tn gloom, and there were graduufly break ing on our vision (he welcome rays of tlio morn ing of peace. Sherman had made his triumphant march to the ea, ana sweeping around the wings of his army, had penetrated the heart of the Carollnas, while indomitable Grant, having ".'ought it out on tbat lino all summer," waa then with sure and steady appioach surrounding the Rebel Capital. Those were the beginning of the days when we breathed with a freer and deeper breath, because the r I inflows were being lilted up and the national tribulation was, iu the providence ot God, nearly at an end. Since then, my friends, we have enjoyed almost the lull noontide of peace. Wo have tasted onco again of the blessing which tor a time had been pttBwed away from us. Will we heed the lessons of the war, burned into our very hearts and niemoric as they have been? Shall we act more wisely than we did before ? Are our hearts pursr, broader, more kindly since they have been purged in the fire, or are all the petty animosities of angcrod and partisan spirit still rankling there? Will we appreciate the blcFBings which God showers upon our unworthy heads, or will we forget and ciespiae the Source from whence they bo pioluscly flow? Will we be better citizens, more faithful abiders by the law, more jealous guardians of liberty t If we do not rise to a higher place, then has our Btrife been altogether In vain. All the elory of individual greatness which marks the history of the past, and "there were giants in those days," Is overshadowed by the strength and greatness, not of any one man or cIbbs ot men, but of this eutire nation. No hj stem that has yet been devised or suggested can secure this general education more pei fectly such must be the testimony ot every man who has at all examined it than that adopted in this State; and therefore we should, as scholars and as citizens, frown down and resit every attempt to undermine or destroy Its power, no matter from what pretended friendly quarter it may come, or ander whatever plausi ble pretext. Let us, then, believing that it is a vital element ot the liberty we enjoy, never con sent to surrender a single branch ot it, but pre serving it as the legacy of our fathers, perform our whole duty tn transmitting it to posterity. The annual address was then delivered by Charles Henry Brock, Esq., on OTJB NEW NATION. "When a good ship has outridden the storm, escaped the shoals, and left the lee-shore far behind her, It is natural, even while the sea is yet running heavily, tor passengers and crew, gathered in groups in cabin or on deck, to speak of past dangers and of future security. Surely, then, the citizens of a great nation, before the elements of an unequalled political agitation have entirely subsided, may review, however feebly, her conquered perils, and augur, how ever uncertainly, her coming destinies." Mr. Brock confessed to having had misgivings as to the present propriety of bis subject. While it, to some extent, was trite, it should not be partisan. But he would not be understood aa even seeming to apologize tor selecting a subject so pregnant with the destinies of the Republic. He had, however, a weightier reason for its selection. "W hatever ignorance may have said to the contrary" he regarded the Central High School as the noblest embodiment of republican intelligence in the land. As such, it was a legiti mate lountain of public sentiment, an organized centre of popular wisdom. As such, it could not . be otherwise than prooer for an Institution, which so thoroughly embodies the genius of the Republic, to recognize the ulumph ol its national prototype." For there reasons he had "resibted the fascina tions of literature, the allurements of metaphy vies, the waim fancies and quick humors of social philosophies, and presented a subject arrayed in no holiday attire, but clad iu native homespun a little worn perhaps, but not so threadbare that the audience would turn away from its battle-grimed garments, and fail to see, beneath, that image of their country's destiny OVB JSEW JN4TI0N ! The speaker started with the saving of an ancient philosopher, that "A civil war leaves no cause lor triumph." After a fine analysis of civil and revolutionary war, the speaker n quired into th e c b ai acter of our great struggle. Could it be dignified as revo lution, or humiliated as mere partisan rlvil war? Candor compelled a compromise. "The great struggle ler the Atnericiu union was, at once. the most civil revolutionary war, and the most revolutionary civil war which hbitory records." This strikingly original position was supported by sound logic. Having powerfully considered the emptiness of ideal glory and physical pomp, if by our struggle great principles hr.d not been estab- lmhnrl t.hft ni&lrir nrnrnnrl ti t.n ltiv nut t.hft main heaas of hre oration in follows: Our na tion was new in constitutional genius, in inter national Btatus, iu social orguuibm.in sentiment, and in destiny. As the eriort will probable be published in pamphlet torm, our readers limy be oonUat with our mere abstract. The speaker thus dwelt on the past and present nature or our constitution: "Such National Constitution should not he a mere kaleidoscope tor sectional pontics, not a hybrid of legislation or a governmental freak of nature, but a conservative and an unchanging centre ot the common weai, a neutral ground ot national interest, an infallible oracio of national right, a supreme tribunal 01 national lust ice. as certain and as prowerful in action as the grandest mechanism ever r tired by human genius, it should be at once a masterpiece of human legislation and a re.icic ot the eternal code ot God I In the universal arena of na tionality, docs all historv present a grander spectacle? No longer croucbire at the feet of legalized barbarism, blushing in her rags ot com promise. thrinking from the libidinous touch of party passion, wnopiug over her igno ble Heritage, ana oemoan'ug her oasiarauea birthright 1 see, to-day, the Genius of the k ty rir tnr " t-vm ty t, v rk f In V am twin ,nnh radiant in her beauty, holy iu her purity, and immortal in her dost in v: her brow loftier in the consciousness of victory, her eye brighter in the survey of domiuion. her every breath drawn from the air of a purer civilization, her every pule prouder beneath the gaze of hu manity and the world 1" House conservatism anama kl-h lenity were reviewed by the speaker in tun following keen sarcasm: "There seems to be anroat in the land a cer tain dangeroiu rpiril. Whether it owes Ms - birth to ancient treason, or to modern conserva- titm. I cannot, positively say. Its garb is the gerbof humilliy, its mien the mien of liberality, and its voice, the voice ol pace. - Its words are smoother than oil, yet are they drawn swords.' It steals the livery of Chrhvian charity In which to serve the cant-out aevu 01 nutnaa slavery, llow inerrressiUy delicate are all its seuslbili tied The sensitive plant saut not mere readily to the raiu-droii, than floes its ear to the slightest allusion to the past It would crumble our battle monuments. It would di Ive the plough tha.e and the harrov of Its mawkish ness Into the hallowed mould of our every battle-field. It would tenderly furl, in the nation's archives, every tropbicd ensign of treason. It is by far too gentle to inscribe on captured cannon the names of those Immortal fields where ihetr bated thunders were hushed forever. It would enro nicle the past few years as a historical vacuum. It would beguile the world and Time into be lieving that the great war between freedom and slavery was a sort of draxen game. At Its con servative whine, poetry must be mute, eloquence dumb, art blind, and historv false to every holy principle, every sacred sentiment of the war tor" the Union and all, lost a single olush of honest shame should crimson the chck of suppliant treason I It such be conservatism, mav heaven mssi ns every whit radical I If such be peace, may heaven send us war I If suce be the jriceo( national unity, the ransom of national fraternity if so. we must muffle every hcait-beat of senti ment, and stultify everyjblood-bought principle. For one, as I am a living Mian, I would see the bayont ts of our re-animated armies flah back to-tnorroxo't sunlight, and hoar their artil lery thunder on to-morrrov?s midnight I". air. Brock concluded with the following bril liant passage: "And now, with every inch of canvas spread to the wind with every bolt and bar of her mighty machinery trembling with action our New Nation ploughs ber course loan Imperial destiny I The toam is white beneath her keel the broad sea-way is beiore her the hope) ot humanity are crowding on her bularks and at the mizzen-top floats the banner of ner triumph.

In Select Branch yes terday, a note was received from the Mayor in reference to a bust of the late P. 8. Duponccati, a revolutionary hero, which his grand-daughter desired to present to the city. A communica tion was ieceived from James Mlliott, asking a contract to clean the streets of the citv tor the sum of $'J5,0t)0 per annum. Sir. Ilodgdon pre sented a petition, very numerously signed by prominent merchants, asking for the passage of an ordinance regulating the payment of" city warrants upon some equitable and righteous basis. A report was then presented from the Committee on Law, submitting a sorics of argu ments against tne repeai ot the ordinance pro viding tor tlie purchase of additional ground at iairmount. The report takes very strong ground against repealing tho ordinance, on the theory that if this ground be not now purchased by the city it never can be. . in common isranch, a resolution appointing Friday next for tho meeting ol Councils, instead of Thursday the 22d inst.. which is the anniver sary of Washington's birthday, was agreed to. The bill making an appropriation of $103,903-28 to tne commissioner ot city property, wmcn was under discussion at the last meeting, was called up by Mr. Marcer, and the amount in creased to $109,953-28, aiter which the bill passed. The report of the Special Committee on Street Cleansing was taken up. It provides that the contract be given to Mr. Henry Bickley, to cleaLse the streets for $95,000, payable monthly, after the work is performed. lie to give ample security, and one-half of the money to be re tained by the Committee of Street Cleansing, to be applied to streets neglected by the contractor; the terms ot the contract, which is to be given out lor five years, require the principal btreets to be cleansed twice a week, and ashes to be removed. Thi Nikbteenth Ward Mystery. The inquest in the case of the unknown man who was lound dead, viith a portion ot his head blown off, near the railroad wharves, on Wednesday morning, was resumed at the Nine teenth Ward Station House yesterday afternoon. Several persona testified to seeing the body lay ing there: it was found with blood around it, and a discharged pistol by the side, but neither one of them beard the pistol go off, or 6aw the decascd about the neighborhood previous to that time.
