The building is commodious and tasteful, and
la Intruded a an adjunct to a larger structure
. to be erected hercaf er. It is forty-three leet iu
front ami eighty x leet in depth, and is con
atrurtcd In the N ro.inn stylo of architecture.
It is laced wth granite iroiu the quarr.es at the
Falls 01 the 8chujlkl!l, and ornamented with
plain buttresses terra mating ust below the
cornices, which are ot dressed stone. The roof
hss a very steep pitch, and Is slated.
The interior constats of a lurge audience cham

vrbicb are tastefully and comfortably cushioned.
There will be also a committee-room, an infant
school-room, two dressina-rooms to be U9cd

The chapel is erected on a portion of the oil
revolutionary battle-ground on the Chew estate.

Thk Wkbt Arch Strket Presbyte
rian CumcH. Tbi mogniticentchurch, corner
of Eighteenth and Arch streets, was crowded to
excess last evenine, bv an appreciative audience
to hear Iiev. A. A. VYillits. an old Philadelphia
favorite, now the popular pastor of the Lee
Avenue Church, in Brooklyn, N. Y. The ser
vices in the morning were also lorgely attended,
and Rev. Mr. Willits preached one of his aolest
and most admirable sermons, on the Resurrec
tion of Christ, in which he produced many in
fallible evidences of this great Christian truth,
in a style ot simplicity and eloquence rarely
heard iu the pulpit. The evening di-course was
on the "Pita-Mires ot Relitrion," and the peace
afforded all those who embrace religion, and
make it a rule of their lives.
It has been a long while since the West Arch
was so densely packed as (t was last evening,
and the an.muUd and beautiful scene was only
an indication of what will be witnessed in that
splendid church every Sabbath, whenever the
congregation secure a live, energetic, and emi-
nently Christian pastor. Tne Rev. Charles
Wadswortb, of San Francisco, California, has
been called, but as yet his acceptance has not
been sigmned. We doubt whether this great
man could attract a more intelliaent and atten
tive audience than greeted Rev. Mr. Willits last
evening. There is very exeat room for Improve
ment in the singing in West Arch.
Installation of the Jcdqes op the
Court of Common Pleas. The proceedings of
ins aPat'on ot Judge Allison as President Judge,
and of William S. I'ierceand F. Carroll Brewster
as Associate Judges, were gone through with
this mnrning, accompanied by the usual cere
monies. The C'erk, after the opening of the Court, was
directed by Jndee Allison to read the commis
sions of the newly elected ollicers, all bearing
date of the 15th day ot November. The newly
elected Judges hold office tor ten years, subject
to conditions, dating from the 1st day of Decem
ber, 1866.
. After the readintr was concluded the Judges
took their departure from the Quarter Sessions
room, and the usual preliminary business of the
Court was commenced.
Fleeced by a Cyprian. A German by
the name ot Youst, living in the remote land ot
New Jerofy, came to Philadelphia to see tne
eighth Ho wished, moreover, to see the
elephant, and one of the largest size. An
obliging tricnd, wno can always do naci on sucn
occasions, directed him to a menagerie on
Locust street, near Eleventh, where his curiosity
wa9 era ti bed very extensively. Ho got ac
quainted there with a young damsel by the un
common name of Annie Smith. The said damsel
relieved the pocket of Mr. Yotist of his pocket
book, containing $U0 in greenbacks. As soon as
he discovered his loss fie gave the alarm, and
bad the proprietors and Annie arrested. The
two lormer, (leoreo W. Force and Elizabeth
Clark, bad a hearing before Alderman Jons,
and were held in $81)0 bail each to answer the
charge of keeping a disorderly house. Annie
was held to answer the charge of larceny.
Playtkg Base Ball on the Sabbath.
Too much cannot be said against the practice
ot playing ball and other games upon tne Sab
bath, which is so much indulged in by the young
men of the cltv, to the great annoyance of
the people residing in the rural sections.
There have been a great many arrests for seve
ral Sabbaths past on this very account, but th
evil still continues in f pite of all. If it were
only confined to playing ball, the evil, however
reprehensible it mtuht be in a moral point of
view, might still be tolerated, but the habits
engendered bv such practices ere subversive of
the first principles of law and order, and lead
the actors themselves to perpetrate more serious
breaches of the peace and good order of the
city. As usual, there were muuy arrests yester
day. The guilty parties were fined and lepn
laanded. Febociocs Assault ok Police Offi
cers. Frank Metzeer, who is a man of might
and ot muscle, was arrested last evening, after a
severe struegle, at Broad and Contes street. It
appears that Metzeer was under the influence ot
spirits (bad), and was consequently very much
inclined to be disorderly. Officer Newman un
dertook to quell his demonstrations, when he
tnrned on the officer and bit him in the leg.
He called Officer Woodhouse to his assistunc.
when the Bavage turned on him also, and
actually chewed off one of the officer's flayers.
A third guaidian of the peace was called upon
the ti Id, and finally law and order prevailed,
and Metzger was taken into custody, after a
short but tremendous struggle. He had a
hearing before Alderman Hutchinson, who held
hiHi in $1200 bail to answer.
Putty Police Cases. William Farllman
was brought up with a round turn yesterday
afternoon on a charge of leaving the wife of his
bosom to make shut tor herself, while he en
loved the pleasure of other company. Mrs. P,
objected very stron"ly to such conduct, and had
ner lord arrested ana urn en Deiore Alderman
Holme. He was committed In default of $600
bail, and in the meantime will have time t
think how mean he was.
John Manly was arrested last night, and when
taken to the Southward Hall Station House
made a manly resistance to being searched
The cause was soon evident, as he had a cou
- cealed weapon inside his coat, in a breast
pocket. Alucrmun Tittermary committed him
to answer.
On a "Bender." James Keating, a dis-
elple of "Old live," was arrested last Saturday
night, ut a very late hour, whilst indulging iu
some story nolsv pleasantries at a place Third
and Carter's alley. It is alleged that James was
in a very nappy state of intoxication, and went
into tne place and bezan to throw the turn ture.

SECOND SESSION.
WELCOME TO WASHINGTON.
lilcr Justice Carttcr's Address.
The Beply of Speaker Colfax.
Etc., toM K4c, Etc., Ktc, Etc.
Wasdinoton, December 3. Coneross was
formally welcomed to-day at the Capitol by the
respective Republican organizations of the
crpltal.
The following la Judge Cartter's address of
welcome:
It is made rnv pleasure and duty, bv the loval
citizens ot tho District of Columbia, under their
various organizations, to tender a welcome to
the Union members of the Thirty-ninth Cn
piecs. In their name I now welcome you, oeo
ana all, to their hospitality ; and the welcome is
given an an expression ol respect for your wis
dom and pHtriotlsm, and national law-mnkcrs, as
well a the municipal ictrinators ol this District.
Yielding all honor to the nation's defenders iu
the heir), and without reflecting upon the other
branches of the Government, or the iutecritv
of the digtineruished functionaries who occupy
tue eeatu ot juxecunve ana juaiciai power, auj
with no disposition to flattery, we mny be per
mitted to i-ay tbata nation save.) bars tesllmouv
that we have no mistaken regard. A nation
eaved from the conspiracies ot the Kuropean
powers saved from the parricidal efforts of
domestic foes saved from bankruptcy saved
from slavery.
A nation eaved not In its sins, b it from its
sins. A nation saved in all its liberties at home
to be and to continue the prophet of liberty for
the world, and that nation transferred in the
catalogue of nations, by tho very process of its
trials, from an experimental to a permanent
ana paramount power. These results made
painfully clear by the national trials,
tresh in the memory of all. through which
the republic has passed, and is passing to
certain triumph, together with our knowledge
of your uninrlniiitated fidelity to prin
cipal and Roman firmness in its defence, com
mend tue Homage or our political ana personal
regard. Much has been done, much remuins to
be done.
It has been not inaptly said that this Is a
fiovernmi nt "of tbe people, by tho people, for
the people." That people have spoken at the
ballot box. In our theory of Government the
6ourceof power in their electoral judgments
they have demanded that the ways of the nation
shall be readjusted in such wise, to assure per
sonal liberty to all, without regard to color or
condition.
In tbe lnrht of this deliberate and emphatic
verdict of the people, made inviolable by the
memories of sacrifice and blood, by iw that tue
great, rmttonai trust shall be administered by the
nauon s noieiiuers uuu in spini.
Well, they conimani, anil congress ana FreM-
dents must obey. We return them to these
hails to carry out and enfore this decision of
the rulers of the na'tun. the people. No man
can misunderstand their will. Four points have
been pett!ed by them Dcyona an controversy:
First. That the work of reconstruction must
be in the hands of those who have b?en the
friends and not the enemies of the nation; that
it ninst be based on the granite of loyalty, and
not the quicksands ot disloyalty; and that those
whose wicked ieaaersnip ana guilty repudia
tion of solemn oaths plunecd a peaceful coun
try into the bloody conflict of civil war shall
not oe ciotnea wnu power vo lugismie nr tne
widows and orphans, the kith and kin of the
men they have slain in their attempt to slay
the nation itself.
Second. That the promise of Abraham Lin
coln, In his immortal proclamation, that the
freedom of emanctpatea minions shouia be
maintained, must be fulfilled, both in letter
and in spirit, and guaranteed beyond any
Cower or HDringment, in our supreme law, tor
ldding interference by any unfriendly State,
with ihe privileges and immunities of the
liberty granted by the whole nation to all its
people.
Xhird. mat no perBon suau oe uisirancnucu
in this republic on account of their race, and
yet have their numbers counted to confer in
creased political power on those disfranchising
them.
4. That the national debt, the cost of our
national exigence, shall be forever sacred,
ana that all debts or claims growing out of the
Rebellion, or the breaking of fetters that
ended it, shall be forever held null and void;
and tbe people also aeciaroa as their depire and
will that Congress should enforce this decision
of theirs by appropriate legislation.
Free S3 these lew dui vital points were,
from cyerv consideration of revenue and
malice, looking only as they did to public jus
tice and public safety, and even more generous
than just, it was certainly to have been expected
that if there was In the regions whose people
had warred on our country so bitterly
tor years, still existing any lingering
love for the Union, any sorrow for their
crimes, these essential requirements would have
been aanented to promptly, or, if not promptly,
at least as soon ns the elections had manifested
the nation's will; but, on tho contrary, they are
spurned and scornfully rejected by those who
contiol public opinion and wield political powjr
iu the South.
The recent elections of the mo?t conspicuous
sceessioniste in . North Caroliua, Alabama,
Arkansas, etc., with, their Gubernatorial mes
sages, is the defiant reply. Rejecting the Con
stitutional amendment, they insist on represen
tation in Congress and the Electoral College,
for all but tour millious of their former slaves,
tbns ascending to enlarged and increased law
making power in consequence of their rebellion,
while at the same time they not only d.siruu
chise them, and refuse them the richu and the
protection of citizenship, but by disgraceful and
oppressive laws, preteudins to regulate labor
contracts, and to punish vuerancy, reduci those
whom the nation made freo to a condition of
subserviency aud serfdom but little, if any, bet
ter than slavery itself.
Yet, while we cannot compel them to approve
the Ci nstitutional amendment, our duty to the
nation, to lustice, to liberty, and to humanity
is none the less, Exponents ot the popular a 111,
as we are, we cannot avoid that duty; indeed,
wo may see in It the tineer of frovideticr . Like
our father, we have in the past few years
builded belter than we knew.
In the earlier stase ot tno war, how willingly
would an overwhelming majority of the
people hae consented to perpetual slavery iu
tbe republic, if Southern truitors ha 1 taken
fiom our lips tle bloody cliMiceot civil war,
which they compelled us fn dram to Us very
dregnj But (Sod willed otherwise; and at last,
when every family altar had been crimsoned
with blood, and every cemetery and church
yard crowded with patriot graves, the nation
rose to a higher p'ane of duty, and resolved,
in these bulls, that slavery must die.
When the storm cloud ot war passed away,
Goi's smile shone on our banners. Victory after
victory blessed our gallant armies, and tho
cronnins triumph was won that gave salvation
to the Union and freedom to the slave.
Bli ce then we have been earnestly struggling
for leconstructlon on some enduring and loyal
lounuation. Btunabling-blocks have Impeded
our progress, and when at last a mild and
magnanimous proposition H made, embodying
no confiscation, no banishment, no penalties of
tbe oBended law, we, are baffled, by a hardening
ADKLPIil A, MONDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1800,

And as He, so far above us, hai pat all
human beings under an equality before
Ihe dtvlne law, and called them ail His children,
lie demands that we shall put all under an
equality before the human law, so that every
one in all the regions potsone 1 by the influence
of slavery and the principle of treason, shall be
clothed with nil rights necessary for the fullest
and surest self-protoction against tyranny, out
rage, and wrong, and not loft defenseless to the
mercy of those who so long extended no mercy
to the Government they sought to destroy,
i. The question naturally arises, How can ;this
be doneT Surrounded by those able jurists,
patnots, and statesmen returning here, as they
do, crowned with un unparalleled popular en-doi-Fement,
It might not be lilting to anticipate
their arguments on these vital themes In the
session just opening; but, when the Constituti m.
declares In its opening sentence that "all Legis
lative powers herein granted, shall bo vested in
a Cone-res of the United 9tates. when it
solemnly enjoins "that the United 8tutos shall
euarantee to every State In the Union a repub
lican form of government," and when It gives to
Comrress full authority to make all laws which
will be necessary and proper for carrying into
execution all the powers vested bv the Constitu
tion in the Government of the United States, or
in any department or office thereof, the duty
and its excuse 6eemed to hsve been specially
anticipated by our supreme law.
Wince President Joonson declared, in May,
1865, that the Rebellion had destroyed all civil
povernment in the'.rcbellious States, Congress
has recosnized none of tbe Governments estab
lished there under the authorityot military law.
except the Rebel-disfranchising Government of
the State of Tennessee. It has yet to settle the
question, under the oaths of its members to sup
port and defend the Constitution, whether these
provisional and unrccoenized Governments, in
which those who have been the bitter enemies
of tbe republic are dominant in their executive,
legislative, and judicial departments; where to
have been a sold'er of the Union, dead or dying,
Is a reproach; when devotion to tho lost cause
of treaon is openly avowed, and is the guar
antee of popular favor; where the colors and
the heroes of the Rebellion are enthusiastically
bailed, and where citizenship Is refused to the
only people In their midst who, as a class, have
been loyal, are or are not republican forms
of government. I repeat, it is the doty of
the United States to guarantee and protect,
leaving this and kindred questions to those who
will so ably discuss them. Can. we not all say,
as loyul, patriotic, and justice-loving citizens, a
foifus and our children, the vow which we bav
piven for justice and humanity is registered In
heaven.
"No black laws in our order,
No pirate on our strand ;
No traitors in our Concrete,
No slaves upm our land."
Speaker Colfax replied to Judge Cat tter's u 1
drcps as follows:
Fellow-citizens: Only four months have
passea awav since the first session of the Con
grees closed, and the members whom you now
greet wi'h such generous and earnest welcome,
returned to their homes, to render an cccount of
the'r stewardship to the people, and to discuss
before that tribunal, from which there is no
rightful appeal, the gravest issues ever sub
mitted on the battle held, to which treason in
vited the nation.
Our heroic defenders, amid the storm of shot,
and shell, and flame, on sea s& w .
i... iriompb.nn ueciueci tuut our star gemmed
banner should never become the winding sheet
ot the worid's best hopes, but after tbetr con
flicts and other sacrifices, it remained for the
people at the ballot-box, and the people's Sena
tors and Representatives in these halls of legisla
tion to guard tne country aeralnst another
rebellion deluging the land tn blood, ana after
this terrible contest for national existence, to
reconstruct on such enduring corner-stones that
posterity would realize to the latest "syllable of

John II. Surrntt Arrrnterl In Karypt No
Doubt at all of bla Identity.
Washington, December 2. Tbe state Depart
ment received to-day a dispatch by the Atlantic
cable, dated this day, December 2, of which the
loUowtng ts a copy:
"Have arrested John II. Snrratf, ano of Presi
dent Lincoln's assassin.-. No doubt of Identity.
"CfialLM HlLK,
"U. 8. Consul-Genernl, Alexandria, h.vpi."
It appears, as we lenrn from official sources,
thnt Surratt was arrested In Itaiy. as heretofore
reported, whilst serving In the Papal Zouavei,
and afterwards escaped. The Pope promptly
gave the necessary order for bU arrest, upon
the request ol our Minister, Mr. King; notwith
standing there was no treaty between the
United States and the Pnpal Government, hinii
inir the latter to grant the request of Mr. King.
Mirratt was traced after his escape to Kgvpt,
and arrested, as stated. As incidental to the
above, it may be stated that Mr. Boutwell, la
the caucus on Saturday evening, made the state
ment that the Government had known of the
whereabouts of Surratt for six months.
