A Remonstrance Aoaistst tub Tro"
FOBt soum Htbbkt Uridob Kkpobt op Com
mitkm. YcMorday altcrnoon, at 4 o'clock, the
Committee appointed two week aeo by a moeU
inffot cltizeu interested 1n opposing the con
gtructlon of a bridge ncross the Schuylkill c
South street, made a report at the tfourd of
Trade RooniB, Mr. W. P. Jongs In the chitr.
J. P. Wetherlil, rhairniau of the Committee,
stated that they had bren actively engaged in
tho work a8ipned to them, aod bad embodied
the results of their tnveHtieatton in a report,
which wbi next read. It.was ft document of
considerable length, setting forth the objerllom
to.tho bridge, especially U constructed without
a draw.
The property dependent on the free naviga
tion of the river between Chesnut and South
meets la not worth less than S 1,500,000, and if
the river was closed at Houth street against
masted vessels, so that there should be no
a;css to the wharves, factories, and works
there located, the want of room on the Dela
ware would for a time almost destroy the busi
ness done at tnnt point; and if room could or
should be provided, it would not be ohttned
on that river for a sum less than $j, 000,000. It
may well be doubted if it can ever be politic to
construct any closed bridge which causes an
unnecessary absorption ot $3,500,000 of capi
tal, or an increased annual cluiraeto consumers
of the articles which are the subject ot trade at
that point oi $zio,uoo.
The trade which seeks these wharv?s in
roasted veels is in marble, wood, granite in
block and In flap, ice, lumber, paving stones,
and reHi.ed coal oil. The value of the tonnage
in these articles lor the first eleven months of
the year 18ot was $4,7U4,tjti7, ot which one-third
was uso.l in the Twenty-lourth and Twenty
seventh Wards. JHirintr. the same time 274
registered or enrolled masted vessels came to
this point, and in a coming or going cari;o the
eencral trade and commerce of the port were
benented. There were besi les a large number
of smaller emit, which cannot be accurately
given. The amount of tonnage, so lar as the
same can be aKcertained, was about 2J8.000 tons.
The increased cost of transportation from the
river Delaware- beyond that lor the river
Sehuylifill would average $1 per ton. It is,
therefore, evident that at least $200,000 an
nually would be lost to the trade ot our city,
or that much more would, be charged to con
sumption. Then port then sets forth the number and
character of the bridges now crossing the
Hchuylkill, and euggests that If the South Street
Bridge is constructed without a draw, the other
corporations will be Induced to close the draffs
of their bridges. A closed bridge would de
stroy the value of the property along the
Schuylkill from Chesnut street to the mouth.
The legislation in reference to this bridge, com
mencing with the act of 1861, authorizing
Councils to construct it, was given, together
with the interest held by the Lombard and
South Streets Passenger Railway Company.
The act of 18C6, authorizing the construction
of a bridge by a commission, was next discussed
in the report, and the objections to the act
pointed out, including the necessity Imposed
upon Councils to assess taxes to pay a loan
created by a commission of eleven men. If this
is submitted to by the people.no bondholder
has any security that succeeding State Legisla
tures bhall not authorize commissions of rive,
seven, or nine men to isoue certificates of debt
for every conceivable purpose. The act is also
Objectionable, because the loan is made nego
tiable instead of assignable as heretofore; it is
also objectionable because it allows the Lom
bard and South Streets Passenger Company to
use the bridge without compensation.
The bridge is not wanted for the public con
venience until arrangements are made to open
South street west of the river. The street cut
to the Darby road does not warrant the ex-
fienditnre, or afford the convenience to those in
he southern part ot the city claimed for it. In
deed, a bridge with a draw, located much fur
ther south oi this, so that a street may be
opened west of the river, which will pass the
Almshouse building to the south in a straight
westerly line to the Darby road, would be much
more convenient.
Reference is made to the importance of the
coal trade on the river. The towing business
of the Messrs. Flanagan, in 18C2, was proven
to be over 1,000,000 tons, conveyed in 0000
boats. '
The report was accepted, and the committee
authorized to have it published, and to gene
rally take charge of the subject.
The meeting then adjourned.
Coboner's- Inquest in an Alleged
Homicide Case. The Coroner held an inquest
yesterday alternoon, at the Third Ward Station
House, In the case of W. dinger, who died at the
Hospital, on Tuesday morning, from the effects
ol a blow received during a disturbance in a
saloon at No. 718 Shippcn street, at an early hour
cn New lear's day.
Chailes Stowper, residing at No. 718 Shippen
street, testified that he was woke up aoout 3 or
4 o'clock on New Year's morning by several
persons who desired admittance to his bar-room.
On letting them in, they drank several glasses of
beer. These men, the witness said, got to
making a great noise, in fun; they finally got
in earnest, when the witness himself was struck.
The deceased wa behind the bar at the time.
Witness did not know who struck him. After
getting struck, witness went into a back room
to have his wound dressed; while he was out
the crowd passed lrom tho bar-room. Witness
was unable to say when or where the deceased
was struck, being out of the room at the time.
Margaret Luckehardt, a servant in the employ
of Mr. Stowper, testified to seeing the parties in
the bar-room, and also the striking of the lund
loid, but was unable to say who did it.
John Welde testified to being with the party
that visited Stowper's saloon, but that he lelt
before the fuss took place. Tuere were some
twenty-live persons in all in the party, he said.
Frederick Lerrint-er testified to beiug with
the party that went to Stowper's; he got struck,
but by whom he was unable to say; on getting
hit he went to the back part of the room, and
there remained till the disturbance was over:
he did not see tho deceased get struck, nor did
he see him go out of the room; witness beard
deceased exclaim, upon coming in the room, "I
am struck;" he then ran to the corner of
Seventh street, and cried "Watch;" most of tue
fighting, he said, was done on the outside.
John AlcGahan testitieJ to being in Stowper's
saloon during the flgbUnc. He was cut in the
aim in the bar-room. Wheu he got cut he was
.. trying to get out of the place. Witness and
Anders went into the place together, and also
came out together. William Butz and Edward
McGittipan were also with the witness. Tue
former got cut on the cap of his knee, and was
also taken to the hospital.
Dr. Shaplelnh testified to making a post-mortem
examination on the body of the deceased.
He found an ulcerating wound on the top of the
bead, one and a hull inch long. Death was
caused by erysipelas, the result of the wound lu
the head.
A verdist was rendered to the effect that th?
deceased came to his death from erysipelas, the
result of a blow on the head Inflicted by some
person or persons to the Jury unknown.
All the persons who liad been arrested as
having been concerned iu the case were dis
charged. Excitement on Board of a Vessel.
Yesterday morning a number of men repaired
to Lombard street wharf, and soon after arriv
ing they went on board the ship William Welsh,
which was about leaving for Cuba, and de
manded of the captain the discharge of the
entire crew. The commander olthe vessel, not
feeling disposed to yield to so unreasonable a
demand, at once refused. Words then ensued,
and soon quite an excitement was created
among the men. After aslng threatening Inn
pudge.the turbulent party left the vessel, 6tating
to the can tain that thev wruld civ him one
hour to discharge his men. Soon after a mcs-
Bfnirer was aebpntched tor an onicer, when
Lieutenant Goldey made his appearance, ac
companied by four other ollicers.
'1 hey immediately went on board the vessel,
and aait"l th? rrtcn that thir afs.iilant?
should' nut again iii' rf"re with there. t,uiet
wits 'hen restored, and dtirinc the day the four
cdiC'TS reiDnineii on hand, ready to arrest any
who misfit interfere with the crew. It appears
tliat thero i an association in this city who
claim it a thrlr right to require that all dock
hands shall be furnished by them; and all who
do not r)Bd employment through this channel
are considered irregular employes, and are
liable to be interfered with. Tue crew of the
William Welsh had not been lurnlshed by the
association, la consequence of which a demand
was made lor their discharge. The vessel will
sail this morning for her pltco of destination.
Afteknoon Session of Colored Con
vkntion. At the ulternoon session a resolution
was adopted to name tho organization 'The
National Soldiers' and 8nilors' League of Ame
rica," headquarters at Washington,
. On motion, a vote of thanks was tendered to
the Ladles' L'ncoln Association, Ladies' Union
Association. Equal KighU League, Ladies' Sani
tary Commission, and St. Thomas Church.
A lengthy address to Congress and to the
people of the TJnitediStates was presented, read,
and adopted. It reverted to the patriotic im
pulses that had animated the colored citizens of
our country since tho organization of this Gov
ernment, and especially relerrcd to the faith
ful services rendered by loyal black men in the
Union ranks during the progress ol the late
war, tracing the progress ol coloied enlistments
from the urst small begmuiug to the time wheu
thousands were in the held.
It declared that from the adoption of the
Constitution slavery had been ill at case; that
the principles of our Government and the insti
tution of slavery weie lucotmruous, and the war
was the natural result. The military services
ol the colored race during the Revolution and
the war of 1812, were fully ueseribe I, ns proof-,
of true manhood. Believing the ballot to be
the great weapon of delensc, they were now
pleading for it, and were directing all their
efforts towards its attainmeut. "Give us that,
enfranchisement, periect equality before tha
law, and all other blcsslnas must of necessity
follow." "And Irom us, who have already such
a glorious record, even amidst the strong cur
rent of adverse legislation, there need be no
other assurance that. In the support ot eueb
just and reasonable legislation, we pledges all
tnac we possess ana our lives against the
enemies ol our country, whether they be foes
from without or the more daneerous efforts of
internal foe3 to sap the foundations of our great
republican system ol free government'.
A committee of five was appointed to revise
and publish the proceedings of the Convention.
After the u-ual vote of thanks and the
transactions of unimportant routine business,
the Convention adjourned to meet at Cincin
nati, on the 8th of January, 18(18.
At the evening nieetinsr lor the delivery of ad
dresses, speeches were made by General Wag
ner, Colonel Hinton, L. E. Dudley, John C.
Bowers, H. 11. Uarnetl, William II. Day. A.
Ward Manly, Sergeant-Major Harkins, and
others, which were received with great enthu
siasm.
