The same committee made a report adverse to the petition ot the Purveyors In the Water De partment for an increase of salary. The same committee, to whica was referred tlie ordinance making an appropriation of $06,000 for a 10-inch main on Columbia avenue with an amendment, taking the amount from a specified loan, reported, recommending tha; the amount be taken from the loan of December. 18ii5. Laid over. . ' Mr. Freeman, from the Committee on Oirard Estates, reported an amendment making an appropriation of $3000 out of the income of the residuary portion ot the Girard Eitate for the pnrpose of paying certain expenses in coun ties other than Philadelphia. Agreed to. Mr. Pollock, from the Committee on Health, reported In favor of the transfer of appropria tion asked for by the Board of Health. Agreed to. rar. a.uig introduced a resolution authorizing the Chief Commissioner of Highways to give notice to the owners of property on the south side of Noble street.from Kverettto Frontstreets, that at the expiration of thr-e mouths The street will be opene i for public use. Referred to the Committee on Highways. Mr. King submitted a resolution instructing the Chief Commissioner of Highways to have the market plots at New Market aud Callowhill Btretts curbed, and the cartway paved with tramway stouts. Agreed to. Colonel Tage offered a resolution asking the next Legislature to pass acts tor remedying existing abuses, etc., in the municipal gov ernment. (The resolution Is the t.arae as that submlttctt by Colonel Page in March last, and requesting legislation to control the row offices, etc.) The resolution was agreed to. Mr. Barlow offered a resolution requesting the Committee on Schools to inquire and report upon the necessity of purchasing an additional lot of ground adjoining the Morris School House. Agreed to. Mr. Pollock, lrom the Committee on Health, reported an ordinance making a further appro priation of f GflOO to the Board of Health for the purpose of paying bills for 18G0. Among the items was one ol $2600 for the Municipal Hos pital. This item gave rise to some debate, the opponents of the appropriation of this particu lar sum urging that the Board of Health had already expended the money in violation of the act of Assembly, which prohibits expenditures by departments without an appropriation first being made by Councils. It was contended that the members of the Board had made themselves Ecrsonally liable for the bills. On the other and, the Iriends ol the measure referred to the necessity that existed at the time for this expen diture. In regard to the plea that application should have been made to Councils, it was stated that Councils were not in session. . The bill was postponed for the present. ' The rebolution from Common Council dis charging the Committee on Finance from the consideration of the claim of Major Weaver for salary while contesting the election of John Given as City Commissioner, was coucurred in. Mr. Pollock introduced an ordinance appro priating $4500 to the Board of Health for the removal of nuisances. Agreed to. The resolution from Common Council dis charging the Committee on Fire and Trusts from the further consideration of the case of the Good Will Fire Company, was concurred in. Also, the resolution discharging the Committee lrom the consideration of the subject of authori zing an alarm-box for the FranKlm Engine Company; also, the resolution discharging the Committee on Fire and Trusts from tne conside ration of locating the Taylor Hose and Cougress Engine as steam-engine companies, and' the Franklin of Germantown asasteam-lorcing hose company. Adjourned. Common Vouncil. Mr. Marcer, of the Com mittee on Finance, reported an ordinance making a further appropriation of $3000 to the Department ot Wharves and Markets, for cleans ing docks. Agreed to. Mr. Marcer, of the Committee on Finance, to whom was referred the petition of David P. Weaver, praying that an appropriation be made lor the payment of the salary of tne office of City Commissioner, for the term embraced between the 1st day of January, 18UU, and the 21st day of August, 1866, made an adverse report. The City Solicitor, to whom the Committee referred the cae for his opinion, after reciting the case, concluded as follows: The question thus presented is whether the cily owes Mr. Weaver a salary as City Commis sioner for a term of seven months and twenty one days, during all of which time he was con fessedly not discharging the duties of the office, and was not even quaiiticd to do so. Mr. Weaver did not offer to give bond, did not submit the names of his sureties to Councils, did not "duly qualify" himself "for the duties of said office," until August 21, 18G6. In the contested elections of Mann vs. Cat-sidy and Thompson vs. Ewing. the duly elected officers received noue of the emoluments of the offices pending the contest, and I am not aware of any precedent for the present claim. From the silence ot the peti tioner's counsel I have the right to Inter that their industry has been unable to discover any case supporting the petition, and I am, for all these reasons, compelled to advise the Com mittee that the petition be reported back to Councils with aa adverse recommendation. The true remedy for such cases would be the pas sage of a law impounding all the tees or an office during a contest. The incumbent would then share the contestant's anxiety to speed the rause, and no man could then profit by the fraud of himselt aud iriends. I am, very re spectfully yours, F. Carroll Brewster, City Solicitor. Mr. Dillon, on behalf of a minority of the Finance Committee, made a report. It states that whilst to this petition Major Weaver urges the justice of his claim, he nowhere asserts it as it leoal right. Tne minority do not believe that the city de- nri' i j uiuae a yruuv iruni uuu men 8 irauas, and Major Weaver's mUtoituue ai the victim of these frauds, and therefore recommend the , appropriation he asks. For that purpose they report the following resolution: Hesotved, That the City Commissioners be directed and authorized to draw a warrant in favor of David P. Weaver lor the sum ot $12!8, being the amount of salary due while the oilico was occupied by Mr. Given. Mr. Marcer moved that the resolution attached to the majority leport, discharging the com-, mittee from the further consideration of the subject, be adopted. The resolution of the majority of the com mittee was adopted yeas, 27; nays, 9. Mr. Miller, of the Ilithway Committee, re ported resolutions for the psving of Rnoads street, between Eighteenth and Nineteenth, with tramway htone, and repairing portions of other streets, which were adopted. Mr. Griffith preeented a communication from the Fame Hose Company, notifying Councils that they had retired from active service. The same gentleman, of the Committee on Tru ts and Fire, reported against the location of the Taylor Hose and Congress Engine Com- ?anles as steam fire engine companies, and the ranklin, of Frankford. The report was adopted. The fame gentleman also reported against placing a fire alarm box In the house ot the Franklin Steam EBgine Company, at German town. Aireed to. Mr. Miller, ot the Highway Committee, re ported a resolution providing for grading and . cnlverting Washington lane, lrom Hippie to Domino lanes, provided the cost does not exceed $3000, which was recommitted to the Com mittee. The same gentleman reported for placing on the plans of the city Cadbury avenue, 60 feet wide, from Columbia avenue to Hunting Park, which, after a long discussion, was postponed. Mr. Fox, of a special committee, reported an THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH.

Ihe. call for the Council was then read, and, on motion, the Council proceeded to the exami nation of the pjwtor elect. Rev. Mr. Fairley then gave a succinct state ment of his liie's history. He had been brought up in a pious family, and when about sixteen years ot age he connected himself with the In dependent Church In Armagh, Ireland, where he first commenced studying for the ministry; he had studied In the Congregational College in Dublin, but it was closed at the end of the first feshion alter be had entered it. His first pastor ate was at Hexham, is the north of England, where he lobored with great success. Upon being asked why he came to this country, he said he had three reasons: First, political; second, religious; and third, a family reason. After a very thorough and searching examina tion as to the doctrines and principles of Con gregationalism, the audience were requested to retire, and the Council sat with closed doors to deliberate upon the acceptance or rejection of the pastor elect. Notice was also given that the services would be continued at 7J o'clock In the evening. Great Cricket Match Presenta tion by General Meade. The long expected opening match between the St. George, of New York, and Germantown Clubs, was finished yesterday, resulting in a victary for the Ger mantown by four wickets. The game was a very exciting one, good play being shown on both sides, and great interest was manifested throughout by a most brilliant and apprecia tive audience. General Meade presented a flag and guidoBS in the name of the ladi?s ot Ger mantown, exoressing his pleasure in seeing so many of his old companions in arms, and speaking in the highest terms of the much lamented Captain Walter Newhall, whom he had known as an officer, and who was the most distinguished of the old Germantown Club. The pennons were received bv Mr. Alexauder W. Wister, who thanked the ladies and General Meade In a few appropriate remarks. The flag was then raised by the elevens, the band plav ing the "Star Spangled Banner" and ' God Sf.ve the Queen," the whole scene being a most pic turesque one. It is to be hoped that the Club, opening under such auspicious circumstances will keep up their old reputation. The follow ing Is the score: germantown. 1st innings 54 2d innings . . , , , , 1 , 51 108 ST. OEOROE. 1st innings . . . . , . 41 2d innings ....... o 101 As will be teen, the game was a verv closelv contested one. Ce:stenaby of Methodism. The Cen tennial Celebration ot the founding of Ameri can Methodism is proceeding vigorously during the present month throughout the country. Almost everywhere, in city and country, nightly assemblies are held, commemorative of the worthies of the Church, and of their labors and sacrifices. The growth of Methodism has been astonish ing. In its various branches in this country It numbers more than two millions of communi cants. The parent stock, the Methodist Episco pal Church, en 1 braces about one-half ot this number, the other million being divided be tween the Southern Methodist Church, the Methodist Protestant Church, and other minor budies. The Methodist Episcopal Church an- propriates this year a million of dollars to the w ork ot missions, besides her contributions to oiher forms of Christian benevolence. The centennial contributions are to be made as thank-oflerings to the Giver of all good for the divine blessing on the labors of the coun try. It is expected thai these offerings will reach an aggregate, for all purposes, of not less than live millions of dollars, which is to be given without touching on the regular collec tions. In this city, and throughout the Phila delphia Conference, the largest amount will be given for the endowment of the Dickinson Col lege, an institution which has done a great deal for the promotion of higher education in the State. Of the various objects proposed for cen tennarv favor, none strikes us so tavorably as this. We hope it will be nobly endowed. Stealing a IIobsk and "Wagon. Georpe Davis (colored) had a bearing at the Central Station yesterday, on the chareeof steal ing a horse and wagon. George W. Paulln testi fied that defendant ottered to sell him the horse and woson for one hundred dollars. The fact of either being worth three or four hundred dollars excited bis suspicions, and lor the pur pose of having control of the property he said he would take them. He afterwards called at tbe police ollice, aud found there a description of a stolen waeon and horse answering those ottered for cale by Davin. lu or.'er to erive time for the investigation, the case was continued lor a further hearing. Defbaudino a IIotel. A ahargo of ob taining board by means of a show of lalse bujr- eage wa9 preferred jesterdsy against a recent boarder at the Bingham lioune. Defendant had called at the hotel with an apparently well-tilled travelling bag, and upon registering bis nauie was provided with a room. Not being abto to settle his bill when pay was demanded, the travellinc bag was seized, and, upon opening it, instead of wearing apparel, the contents were several pieces of old carpet. The counsel fur the prisoner represented him to be fi e-ood man, but a little hhort of funds at times, and tbe hotel agent being willing to accept the amount of the bill and drop the prosecution, It took that direction, OrjB Fibemen.
