Mr. Urny presonted a petition, largely sip-ned by ciMzem of the Fliteenth Ward, askia Tor Hie cleansing of the streets la that soetlon ol tbe city. Mr. Srjerine. a commnnlnntlon rVrm rnn.. Taylor, urtrinn; the propriety of the removal of iue preen nouse irotn tne roadway on which it is now located, liclerred tu Committee ot City Properly. J ' vMrJo,,e Presented a communiration from l..8. .r tae Philadelphia Gas Work-. It states thit the Special Committee had pro ceeded to tbe Gag Work and examined a num ber ot the emploves. No mvitation wit (riven to the Board or Trustees or Chief Ensnner to be present or to assist in the In vegt Lotions. A condensed statement ina'le trom tbe last annual report of the Trustees was (riven, and they are willlne to afford all lacilities to the Committee, satislled that it will be found that the allairso! the Trust have been conducted with fidelity, economy, and success. Three loans have already been paid out ot the sinkin" lund, and on the 1st of January, 18G8, that fund amounted to Sl.G21,012'2i, sollicient to pay all the other louns, leavlnir tbe works worth several millions to the city clear, without having in vested a dollar of capital. The pr.ee ol gas compares favorably with those of other cities, while the average price in other cities Is S3't6, in this city but $3-1 H charged. Tbe Trustees inv'te tbe Select ana Common Councils to ap poiut a joint comminet to audit and examine all the reports, and directed the President of the Hoard to appoint a committee ot Ave to furnish all books and papers and to cive any informa tion de-ired. Mr. Manuel rose to a question of privilege. He conpliiined that he had been insulted by a member of this Chamber who does not know wtiat common decency is. He desired that swn tleman (Colonel Pape) to understand that while he (Mr. Manuel) was here he wa-i not the Chief Kngiuecr ot the Gas Works, but he was his peer, lie considered it due to these Councils, of wbich he had been a member ten ears, to the trustees ot the Gas Work-, with whom he had had busi ness relations for thirty years, and to the public, to pive an explanation of his recent actions in reference to the special investigating com mittee. The committee have visited the Gas Works in tbe Twenty-sixth Ward, but as no no tice hud been plven to the Trustees or to him, they -were not pres.-nt. The Chairman had asked the employes many questions about him (Manuel), which questions were all promptly answered. Afterwards the committee had visited theNoith Ward (ias Works, and Mr. Manuel, who happened to be there, escorted them through the worKs aud subsequently accom panied them to the Fifteenth. Ward Works. The committee declined to visit the works in the Twentj-Orst, Twenty-second, and Twenty -third WHrds. On the 30th ot April the speaker had received a note, such a one as he would have received as a member of the committee. Ho attended, and had been tr ated in the most in sulting manner by the Chairman of the com mittee, who had called him u liar and a scoun dreL He was too well known in this commu nity to be injured by anjthing coming from that source. He dpsired the most rigid investi gation into hie management, but he declined having anv intercourse w ith the Chairman of the committee. When the Committee on Law was called, Colo nel Page asked tne chairman to make the repoit agreed upon at the last meeting of the committee. Mr. Waencr, chairman, replied that- he had no report to make. Colonel Pace said that a report had been agreed upon, was signed, and placed in the hands ot the chairman. A.ter the adjournment two gentlemen had mutilated tbe report by tearing their names off. He desired to know whether these gentlemen had a right to take their names off after the committee adjourned. Mr. Wagner remarked that it was ' signed by five members, and at the last meeting two other gentlemen had put their names to it. These gentlemen had afterwards withdrawn tbeir names, and therefore he could not submit the report. Colonel Pace then desired to instruct the chairman to present the report, and the Presi dent suggested that that could be done by a joint resoluuon suspending the rulo which re quired reports to be signed by seven members. Mr. Wagner, lrora the Ccnimittee on Schools, reported an ordinance authorizing the pur chase ot lots ot ground on Cherry 6treet, east of Eleventh, aud on Seventeenth street, between Wood and Carlton streets, lor school purposes. Passed. The same committee reported an ordinance authorizing the Controllers of the Public Schools to enter into contracts lor the erection of school-houses, except m First Ward, upon lots of ground owned by the city, or to be leased or purchased for school purposes, provided that payment shall be made in certificates of loun provided for by ordinuuce of Decem ber, lhO'l. After considerable discussion, the ordinance was postponed for one wei k. Mr. King offered a resolution requesting Mr. Jacob W. Colladay, the contractor lor the new CT'ft house, to have the granite and other b.-e used dre-sed in tins city. He said tuat the granite ot the Pennsylvania Hank build ing, and other structures, was all dressed in New England, and Philadelphia mechanics have reaped no benefit from it. Dr. Kamerly thought there was no purpose in the resolution. Mr. Colladay, tbe contractor, is going to buy his stone and dress it anywhere he can get it the cheapest. He wouldn't par any attention to requesis. Mr. King said thut he felt a pride in Phila delphia mechanics, and he considered it no more than right that the work of tbe city should be done bv Philhdi lphians. Dr. Kamerly moved to indefinitely postpone the resolution. Not anTceii to. The resolution was agreed to. Colonel Page submitted a resolution, direct ing the Chairman ot the Committee on Law to present the report of tbe committee on a subject submitted to it tor inquiry, viz.: By what authority the Trustees of tlie Gas Works appr priated $31)0 to lo ot tbe members for making a report? . Colonel Page said hp w as not very familiar 1 with the rules ot Select Council in reaard to committees, but he has al ways understood the parliamentary rule to be that when a committee decides a matter its power is exhausted: that there is no reconsideration in committee. The report had been regularly adopted and signed by eicbt members. Afterwards two members had withdrawn their names. He denied their rieht to c!o so and deB'ieJ. the chamber to settle the matter. Mr. Smith held that the members of a commit tee had a light to tell the chairman to withhold a report after it bad been adopted, Tbe matter can again come before the committee. Dr. Kamerly favored the resolution. He con tended that the report of the committee was valid when it was signed and given to the chair man, and nobody had a rlaht to mutilate it by erasing their names from It. . Mr. Freeman declared that th only question was the right of rcntlemen to control their names before they becana the property of the Chamber, Until a report i presented, it is con sidered the property of the committee, and nen tlemen have reserved the rigbt to remove their names If they were afterwards convinced they had signed a wrong report. Colonel Page contended that If any gentleman finds that be has made a mistake in signing a report, it Is his place to bring the matter up in committee, and not take their names off outside of it, as has been done in this case. A gentle man only has a right to control his name alter signing a report by going to tbe committee and 'explaining that he has made a mistake. The resolution was disagreed to. Yeas, 6; navs, 8. The resolution from Common Council to ap point a joint special committee to investigate tbe affairs ot tbe Gas Works was called up. Mi. Klna opposed tbe resolution. The present Committer of Select Council is getting along TI1EJUILY very harmoniously, nd don't i desire any inter fen nee. This resolution wilL abolisa ,ihe com mittee and establish a new one, wttli the Chair man in the other Chamber. Tnn Helnrf fVinnMi has confidence in Its committee, and the com munity is satiatier! that the committee will make a trnthtul report. The speaker agreed that Common Council by its action in this matter de sires to clog the Investigation, and that any In terference with the present committee will be looked upon with suspic or by the people. - Dr. Kamerly also opposed the passage of the resolution. Colonel Paae explained that he had otferel the original resolution because he considered it tbe rifiht and duty of Councils to tnvestl'-Kt tbe affairs of the Gas Works. The committee had visited the different Gas Works, and. in all instances, it hau been met ly tbe Trustees, greeted with cordiality, and every facility was oflered. Then came the summouineot witnesses. A gentleman, who is a member of this Cha.nber, w as requested by a polite note to attend. He did so, but what trrnspired in committee, Colo nel Page said he was not at liberty to toll; but a phouocrsphcr wss there, and whn his report is brovuhtto light, it it ever is, it will be seen whether the chairman of the committee Is right or not. It will then be seen whether this com mittee has not been insulted from tha vprv nut. start, and the chairman was obliged to use harsh miipuHge not me worus wntch have been attri buted to him by the conduct of an otliccr of tbe Gas Works. Every heart in this city looks to this committee to reduce the tax upon a very necessary article. This resolution inf.r,i,. this committee, and if it Is concurred in he shall consider nimseii dismissed, as ho could not be exrected to play a subordinate nurt In th drama now being performed. He had no per sonal motive in this investigation, and he saonld be veiy elad if the Trustees shall come out with a clean sheet. . Without action on the subioet. the ntuniWr adiourned. Common Branch President Ktntlnr in ha Chair. Mr. Evans offered a resolution appoint ing a joint committee ot five from each Cham ber to examine the accounts and Investigate the management of the Philadelphia Gas Works. Mr. Hetzel opposed tbe riassnpp of tho rani. tion on the ground that it reflected on tbe spe cial committee of Select Council appointed tor the same purpose. If the resolution read "the appointment of five member from c.nm Council to act in conjunction with the Hclect Council Committee," then he would vote for it; out as me lesoiution is, he believed it was offered for the purpose of having a whitewashing com mittee appointed. He was confident thut tho gas men knew that the Chairman of tbe Select Council Committee was not to be cowed down. On the pipage of the resolution the yeas and nays were called, resulting iu yeas 2!, nays 7. Passed. The Chairman appointed the frlL-u-inn. mem bers on the Committee: Messrs. Evans, Willits.

Miupson oticred a resolution instructing the City Solicitor to compel thp RiiW von,Z and Manayunk Passenger Railway Company to relay their rails according to the established grade of the city.

Mr. Franciscus moved to resume the third reading of the ordinance to abolish tbe office flf fhipf Tnqnfirtnr fit Cltrnnta ,.;... ,1: I T, 1 7"-- uuu'-i- utaeiiHsion at the last session ol Councils. The ordinance pacted. Mr. Franciscus cnlled up the ordinance to change the boundaries of the First and Second Pc lice Districts, aud to create a new Police Dis trict therein, to be called the Seventeenth Dis trict. This oiduiance provides that the First and Second Police Districts, as at present con stituted, shall be divided into three Policd Dis tricts, to be bounded as follows: First Distri3t shall comprise all that portion of the citv lying south of South or Cedar street between Broad and the river Schuylkill, and the station house shall be at Twentieth ant Fitz water streets, in the Twentv sixth Ward; the Second District shall comprise all that part lying south ot South or Cedar street, and east ot Sixth, and the station bouse at Siuthwark Hall; and the Seventeenth District shall com rrise all that portion of the city lying south ot South or Cedur streets, and between Sixth and Brond streets, and the station house shall be at the Movameusiner Hall, In Christian straet, be tween Ninth and Tenth streets, in the Second Ward. It further provides that the present police force fcball not bo increased tuercby lapsed. The Select Council bill appropriating SC77 to the Department of Street Gleaming was called up. A motion to postpone wus made. Mr. Nickels opposed the bill. He considered it a system ol wtolesalo rooberv. He was surprised that the Chairman of the Committee on Street Cleansing would put his name to the bill. Mr. Nickels took back the last remark, and said he was not surprised at the Committee hxiu his name to the bill. , Mr. Willits said he was not willine to vote for the bill. The Common Council have abol ished the office, and it is supposed that tho Chiet Inspec tor, Mr. Gordon, goes with it. On motion, postponed lor the preseut. Mr. Stanton offered a resolution to have the dock at the foot of Washington street wharf widened and deepened, so as to admit of the entrance of the largest vessels. This was in answer to an application by tbe Pennsylvania Railroad Company, Agreed to. Adjourned. Destructive Fibe. About half past 0 o'clock last evening the extensive coal-oil re finery of Messrs.
