CITY INTELLIGENCE I For Additional City Intelligence tee Ei jhlii fage. Proceedings in Cock cilb. Tha stated meoting of Council was held yesterday after soon. Meet Council. The resolution from Common . Council In relation to the murders In the FirBt Ward was taken tip. Mr. Harlow otfered an amendment authorizing the Mayor to Increase the reward to $."000. Mr. King thought that the reward already an nounced was liberal, and the character ol the . crime, no doubt, will act as an Incentive to the officers to search out the murderer. Mr. Freeman suggested that the original reso lution should be adopted. s the Mayor was best able to Judge of the amount required to secure the arrest of the parties. Mr. Barlow Suld he knew of no amount too great to oiler Jor the arrest of the perpetrator ot snrb a crime. Mr. Freeman again urged the passage of the resolution of Common Couucll, as it might be necessary to go above $3000. Mr. Harlow's amendment was not agreed to, and the original resolution was adopted, alter Some alterations In the phraseology. Colonel 1'age, from the Special Committee to examine into the condition of the Gas Works, submitted a resolution granting permii-slon to employ accountants and such other assiHtanta as may be necessary to make the investigation. Mr. Freeman opposed the adoption ot the re solution, as the committee in the tlrH place had been appointed without any direct chargo being made azain&t the Trustees. It would give the committee unlimited power. The committee could go on with tho examination. Select Council alone, had no right to authorize an ex- ! penditure ot money. Colonel Paae sugceated that If this power Ufked by the committee was refused, the exami nation would be a farce. He should press on with thti investigation to the best ot hi ability, but if there was a luiltire it would rest upon Select Council, In such an examination as this, pcientific knowledge was needed to ascertain if the Chief Engineer and the oilier employes were competent for their places. The members of the committee were not able to make a che mical analysis, and therefore the services of an expert would be needed, and an accountant would be needed to examine the books. Tne people of Philadelphia will endorse any appro priation needed for this purpose. Mr. Cray iavored thelpatssaee of the resolution ; although he believed the Trust was well man aged, ho would favor an Investigation. The reso lution was adopted. Mr. Van Cieve biibmitted a resolution direct ing the Commissioner of City Property to have the American flair displayed at half mast on all the public buildings on the 14th inst., the an niversary of the death of Abraham Lincoln. Agreed to. ' Mr. Van Cleve introduced a resolution for the appointment of a joint special committee ot five members from eab Chamber, to act in con junction with the Committee ot the Legislature, to provide lor the reception of the State flags at Philadelphia on the Fourth of July next. Agreed to. Adjourned. In Common Council. Mr. Evans offered a reso lntlon authorizing the Mayor to oiler a reward for the detection and conviction of the mur derer or murderers of the Deeding family, In the First Ward. Agreed to. Mr. Marcer, of the Finance Committee, re ported an ordinance to Increase the revenue of the city. It provides for laving the following tax: On each horse and mule, $1; all pleasure carriages, one per cent, on the assessed value thereof; on the salaries of officers, not judicial or Federal, and on all emoluments of office, all offices and posts of profit, professions, trades, and occupations, except farmers, one per cent; three per cent of the dividend declared by any ward, institution, or company, incorporated in pursuance of any law of the United StateB or of this Commonwealth, said dividend being de clared on business done in this city; five per cent, of the dividend declared by any bank, in stitution, or company, incorporated. In pur suance of any law of any one of the United Mates, except this Commonwealth, said dividend being declared on business done in this city; all loans at interest, owing by solvent debtors, whether individual or corporate, shall pay a tax of three per cent on the interest; one per cent, on the assessed value of all furniture exceeding in value the sum of $300; one per cent, on all gold and silver plate, not exceeding $300; three per cent, on the Income of all moneys at interest; a noil tax of $1, on all men of lawful age, re siding in the city, to be paid in place of the present personal tax. The bill also provides for the appointment of a Commissioner of Personal Tax. The ordinance was laid over and ordered to be printed. Mr. Evans (In place) 'offered an ordinance, requiring all passenger railway companies, under a penalty, to place blocks of granite along the . outside and inside of their rail, whenever any repairs are made to the truck. Mr. Dillon states that such an ordinance was already in existence, and it was the duty of the Commissioner of Highways to see the same executed. The ordinance was postponed for the present. Mr. Marcer presented a certified copy of a further supplement to the act Incorporating the city of Philadelphia, passed April 6, 1800. The first section provides that the Councils shall fix the rales for paving, water pipes, and sewers at such an amount as will relieve the city of any expense by reason of such improvements. Second section provides that any religious, charitable, or benevolent association using their real estate for business purposes shall not be exempt from taxation. Third. That the Board of Health shall purchase their own books and ' supplies directly, and not through the City Commissioners. Fourth. That it shall be lawful for the city, whenever necessary to defray municipal ex penses, to iwsue bonds to the amount of $5,000, 000, at a rate of interest not to exceed seven and three-tenths per cent, per annum, and to s II the same in open market to the highest bidder; Provided, That none of the said bonds shall be sold lor less than the principal sums named therein. Provided, That it shall be at the option of Councils at auy time after five years from the date of the bonds, and not ex ceeding twenty years from the date of the same, to reduce the said interest to the legal rate, or pay the principal. Mr. Marcer moved that the same be referred to the Committee on Finance, with instructions to report such ordinances as may be necessary to carry into effect the provisions of the act of Ai-semotv. Mr. Evans submitted an ordinance providing for the oonwtruction of a sewer on Filbert street, from Twentieth to Twenty-aecond street. Ke ferred to Committee on Surveys. Also, a resolution directing the Chief Com missioner of Highways to enforce the ordi nance requiring passenger railroad companies to place granite blocks on the outside and inside of their tracks, when repairs are made. Agreed to. Mr. Griffiths submitted a re solution providing for tbd appointment of a joint special commit tee to take into consideration the propriety of disposing of the Almshouse property and securing ft site for a new building. Laid on the table. Police Items.

Important Ieclton of Judge I'nder wood Involving the l.ato Proclamation of I'eaee, Judge Underwood, ot the United States Dis trict Court ot Virginia, on Tuctday decided a very Important principle at Alexandria. It came tip in the matter ot Thomas Javin. He was tried before the Provost J udge, under tho Frecd nien's Bureau, lor assauitiug and lniuring a negro boy, and found guilty, and sentenced to Jiay five bundled dollars to the boy, and to bo in prisoned until paid. This sentence was approved bv General Augur, whose mili tary district includes the counties or Alex andria, Fairfax, and Loudon, in Virginia. Application lor the writ of habeas corpus was applied lor by the counsel of Javin, under the assurances of protection supposed to he extended bv the late neace proclamation. The prisoner was brought before Judge Under wood under the writ, whicn was returned by the officers ot General Augur, stating all the tacts of the case, and adding that he bad been held under military authority by the order of the President of the United States, all of which was certified on the back ot the writ. The hear ing consumed six hours, after which Judge Underwood decided, in substance, that the peace proclamation did not apply to such cases, and remanded the prisoner to custody. He held that this proclamation, in excepting Texas, prac tice uy acciarea max ine iteDemon continued to exist. As lone, thercloie. as Texas is excepted the writ could not apply to such cases as that ot Javin, even it the proclamation was legal, wnicn is Doidiy denied Dy some ot tne ablest jurists. What renders this decision important is the well-known tact that the motion before Judge Underwood was generally regarded as a feeler. If succeslul, it would "have been im mediately followed by an application for a simi lar writ in iavor oi jenerson uavis. it is not doubted that secession sympathizers in Virginia and everywhere else regard ,Andrew Johnson's peace proclamation as a universal pardon, and as merely preparatory to the lull forgiveness and release or the cbiet ot the Confederacy. But Judge Underwood does not teem to be of their mind. Washington Chronicle. ( The Pest Ship. The Erwland. which has brought a large crowd of ploguo-stiicken people to tins side oi tbe Atlantic, is a ship ot a line which receives greenbacks for passage money, charging $40 instead ot $45, payable in gold, whicn is tne rate on board the Inman ships. She makes up tbe lower rate of freight, we sup pose, py tne areaarui crowding, waicn nas doubtless caused the breaking out of the disease among her 1300 living souls at a time when it seems to have disappeared from Europe, and when other vessels are landing their passen gers in good health. It is, however, certain that but lor the presence ot those mysterious agencies wnicn are present only in cholera seasons, there would, with all the crowding, have been no cholera on boara the .bngtana, though there might have been ship fever, or smallpox, or other similar maladies.
