The veteran soldiers of 1812 held their regular meeting at the Supreme Court room at 10 o'c o?k thU morning The meeting was organized by calliug Mr. Peter Hays to the Chair. The principal business of the meeting was the unanimous passage of the resolutions submitted by the Executive Committee They were read by the Secretary, Mr. John W. Frick. Previous to reading the resolutions, the l'renl dent made a few remarks about a petition re monstrating against the repealing of an act of the 80th of March, 1860, entitled "An Act to Srovlde for the payment of annuities to the oldiers of the War of 1812, and to their widows.'' The Dumber of applicants under that act will be about 2800. Colonel John Thompson offered the resolu tions framed by the Executive Committee, as follows: Ertolved, Thnt. grateful to Almighty God tor His lardinnsbli) over u during the past year. Hie stirvlv- iii soldiers ot the War of 1812 residing in Philadel phia and tta vicinity, though in gteally diminished numbers, once more unite with their fellow-citizens In celebrating this national holiday in cotnmenio. ration of the birth of the immortal Waniiinhtox, the Fattier of his Country, one of the purest and most disinterested patriots Hint ever lived; whose lite, fiubllc and private, will serve as a model worthy of mitation to ail succeeding generations; and whose words of solemn admonition and almost prophetic warning never more eloquently appealed to every lover of our tree Institutions than ut the present TYifini Ant. J!enlvrd . That we Beam nrg the Congress of the United Suites to pass hill No. n-M, "granting pensions to the Soldiers of the VV ar of 1812 with Ureat Britain," low on the tile ot the House of Representatives, even if restricted, as It Is. to persons in nmvMiUma nlrcunutan- vj. however mortifying It may be to applicants to be compelled to make oath and produce proof, from dis interested witnesses, to the fact of their poverty and destitution, and although similar restrictions are -not made in regard to any other soldiers. jteAorVrd, I'hat we do not hesitate to assert, from our personal knowledge, that the Committee of the House of Representatives ot Congress, In their adverse re port, are mistaken when they say that, "Kvery sol dier of the War oi 1812 was examined aud supposed to be free from disease before entering the service:" and that, therefore, the ordinary tables of mortality do not apply to them. Much an examination was most probably made in enlistments of soldiers in the Regu lar Army, but certainly not of volunteers and militia men; and we have not tue slightest doubt, Judging from the small number of old soldiers still living In Pennsylvania, that their number throughout tiie Union' is greatly overrated by the Committee of Con- ''SKibfwtf . That as members ot this Association, we Bpeak with the greatest freedom in behalf of the soldiers of 1812. and their widows, who are in "neerasl Uai circvvutancni," because we know the wants of many or them, from their frequent applioatioas for relief, and because we teel that we have done our duty to our country, uot only in 1812, but In the late strug gle for the nation's life, when a number again offered their services, and some in the Interior actually bore arms to defend the Slate from invasion. Retnlvtd, That it Is recommended to the surviving soldiers of the war of 181'2, in the several counties of Pennsylvania, Immediately to organize themselves into county associations, tor the purpose of obtaining correct Information in regard to the number of sur vivors or that war, and of widows of such as are da ceased residing in their respective counties, with in formation relative to their circumstance, and to get up and forward to their Representative in Congress ntinniM for the Dassaee ot a law granting pensions to the soldiers and sailors of the war of 1812, and the widows of such as are aeeeaseu, After the reading and adoption of the resolu tions the, roll was called and elKhty-elicht mem bers answered to their names. There were fourteen deaths reported since the last meeting In .Tanunxv. The Secretary read an Invitation from the TTiutnrinni Societv to the Association to attend the ceremonies of the presentation of the chair of Hancock and the table upon which the Declaration was signed. The Invitation was nnlnnpi John 8. Warner then read Washing ton's Farewell Address. After the reading of iA Address, the meeting adjourned to meet ai Indeneudence Hull, and take part In the ceremonies of the day. Tta Belles Presented to the City Tbeir vescripwoD The main feature of the day was the presentation of the chair occupied by ?fniin Hancock wnlle President of itie conti nental Congress, and also the table upon which the Declaration of Independence was signed. These relics demand a special mention and rlnftrint,lnn. The table Is of mahogany, and the top. which 1 nlnln. Is covered over with black oil cloth. The table is arranged with a large drawer under the central part, aud three small drawers under eneb. end. These drawers are Inlaid with a narrow strlD of yellow wood about ooe-eichth of an inch in width all around the edee. and each drawer is furnished with a nlaln look. The brass bandies that were In the drawers have been broken on the three right band drawers. The table itself stands upon eight legs. The latter are plain and in us re. with a little fluting. On the ends of the table-drawer, and on the ends of the table Itself thre is a slight attempt at ornamenta tion, by inlaying plain slips of maple. The table is about rive fuel by thirty inches, and m.anria about thirty inches Irotii the noor. it is vrv nlnln. and of the most democratic aspect. The chair is a very Interesting relic of the old straight-back days of our grandfathers. It is ctrnnolv made of mahogany. The seat and cushion are lined with crimson morocco.aud the sides are studded with nails. The legs of the chair are plain and square, aud the bottoms hrwi with lirass. The chair stands altogether about five foet in height. There is some slight attempt at ornamentation, bat the carving Is of the plainest description. The back is almost utrniirht. iiavinu but a slight curve. It bears the marks of honorable age.

'J no propriety and fitness of this presentation fir th urpe Indicated, will at once suggest Itself lornhly to all minds. What place more lilting for the preservation ot these precious memoriali than the hall in which the Declaration of Independence was signed, and In wh ch the Illustrious Hancock occupied this very chair T Around this table, and In this Hall, were gathered Unit sterling hnnd ol patriots who signed the 1 ecla ration which wns so nobly niniutaltied In the sangul nsry stiugglecf the Revolution. Looking unon these monuments, we are carried hack in imagination to the "times that tried men's souls;" and we recall to mind the herculean labors und the fervor of patriot Ism of the greatest and wisest deliberative and repre sentative body that the world has ever known. VN'e picture to our minds the striking figure of John Hancock, the nflluenl citizen and the public idol, as Willi bold and resolute hand heafllxe his name to the 1 Kclnrntion. Then It was that the nation was bnrn in a day; then and there it was thnt llrilisb tyranny re ceived its death-hlnw. Thenceforth Ireedoin and In le pendence were the watchwords of the American naiinn; and these great principle, proclaimed throughout the length and lireniith of the land, in spired the people with new zeal and nerval the arm to strike alresh tor Ills country. Sacred m the memory ot our patriot sires era the) a.-soclut ions that cluster ei oun.l these hallow I ob jects. Kver let them be preservud and cherMin I, in connection with the glorious events thoy iom nie morale. To these the lovers Of liberty from all iMidi and in all ages will come as pilgrims to pav- their homage. A nd so may they he torever enshrined In the popular heart; and as we hnve preserved these mementoes from the red baud of violence, so may the principles they represent and our civil and religious lib-rty and Ameiicsn nationality purified and purged from every form of oppression, and every taint of feudalism and injustice be perpetuated forever. The city of Philadelphia! the home of old Inde pendence Hall! What city In the Union so loyal, so true to the great cause ot American liberty in the late war as this loved metropolis of Pennsylvania? What city that through public and prlvatesutacrlp tlons raised so many men, and armed and equipped them for public defense, and for the sulvaliou of the nation's life? What city that was ever so liberal to the soldiers of tins and other States as they pa sed forwards and backwards, to and from the seat of vai? Here, Mr. Mayor, let this old table and chair re main, and let tbeexample of Hancock and his faithful baud be held In perpetual remembrance by all lovers ol our country I During the speech of Mr. Hall, the mostoVep and thrilling interest was tminlfestecl by thj distinguished assemblage present to the histo rical reminescences that were brought up bv the speaker, and frequently they would break out into marked applause at some particularly thrilling passage. It was indeed a thrilling scene, and one that will be remembered as an epoch in the history of the city. The old venerated portraits of the Illustrious dead seemed to glow with a halo ou the thrilling scene that was passing. These old relics, that, during the time that "tried men's souls," occupied the sacred pre cincts to which they were again introduced, seemed to be endowed with new virtues, ac quired from the solemnity of the occasion. After the conclusion of Mr. Hall's eloquent remarks, his Honor Mayor McMiohael made a most elegant address, as follows; Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Repre sentatives: The city of Philadelphia accepts the trust which the commonwealth of Pennsylvania confides to her. To marie her sense of its Import ance, she has assembled here, as participants and spectators, the honored dignitaries who administer justice within her borders; the favored citizens to wnom sue nas delegated ner authority to mage ana execute laws; the noble old men whom more than nan a century ago sne sent ont to re pet foreign in vasion; the yoonger soldiers, chief among whom is her own gallant son, who recently perilled their lives in aiding to crash domestic treason; the learned expositors of her historic legends and traditions, and the members of the press, which caily records her progress and opinions. In this presence she makes public declaration that she esteems the custody of these precious relics a rare privilege, and offers a solemn pledge that she win guard tnem witn scrupulous nueiity ana preserve them with assiduous care. It is proper they should be here.. It was here they were associated with the deeds which nave given to these simple pieces of furniture a value beyond an price; it is nere tney can oe nest seen by the countless generations whlcb the fame of this sacred edifice will attract hi her so Jong as civilization ana freedom survive. Memorials Identified with striking epochs of their career are justly held in veneration by all nations. To the Italian, the iron crown of Charlemagne symbolizes a national unity that has Inspired blm with hope amid the degradation and disasters of centuries; to the Scotchman, the heart of the Bruce, in all climes and under all vicissitudes, Is a cherished trophy of national re nown; to the American, these humbler emblems are significant, not only of a glorious past, but of a marvellous future, which will Include the occu pation' of many lands, the dominion of many seas and the compact of many peoples, joined togetner by ine ail-emoractng oouas oi tree Institutions and individual rights. Since these relics were eeparaled trom inis nan, a period less than the scriptural limit of a man's life has intervened; but in that period the develop ments of science and the achievements of art have enrpassed the wildest Imaginations of theorists, ana political rev olutions have taken place in which an cient dynasties nave oeen enaiiHreu suu iuuvwiihu, and out of which radical changes of government have been evolved, and these developments ana these achievements and these revolutions have co-operated, and are still co-operating, to produce on this continent an empire wiaer in territorial ex tent, stronger in physical power, ricner in mate rial wealth, higher in intellectual culture, and grander in patriotic aims man any tne worm nas witnessed. The men who sat in this seat and wrote at this table, whileengaged in the creation of a new republic, had keen insignt ana proiouna wisaom, and as they intended the structure to be reared by their descendants should tower to the heavens, they laid their foundations as broad as the earth and as deep as the ocean. And, verily, they shall have their reward, r or long alter tne votaries oi tue false prophet, whose throne is crumbling in the East, shall abandon their senseless pilgrimages to his fabled tomb, and his name shall only be re membered as a svaonvm of lust ana rapine, the followers of these true prophets shall gather round this living shrine, not in abject ignorance to adore, but with grateful recognition to bless the memories of those who first preached the evangel of universal liberty, and some of whom attested their taitn tnrougn tne oraeais oi msnyraum nuu by the baptism of blood. rue time lor wis restoration uu nwu wen chosen. An act so blended with joyful feelings should be performed in the midst of festive sur roundings. The Dooming cannon wai buuuk iuib morning's sky the martial strains that II oat upon the air the streaming Mags that denote the pre sence of a holiday these have rightly ushered in ana illustrated tne aay set apart ior sucu a service. But In the day itself there Is even more essential fit ness. What occasion so snitable as the birthday of Washington for depositing, among kindred objects, in this chamber, which his stately form has so often dignified and adorned, these me morials of an era with which his name islndis solnbly connected I Especially is this so when we consider that the ends for which he prayed and labored and suffered are approaching towards consummation, ana that tne union to wnicn ais great heart was dedicated, after being purged and purified ia the alembic cf civil war, is brighter, purer, better and firmer than ever before. And, my friends, as we gaze on his serene and majstio features, pictured on yonaer wan, my we uui db Eerraitted to indulge the fancy that his spirit overs near us, and that if it conld kindle in those eyes the light of life, and, impart to thoee lips a baman utterance, he would smile approvingly on this ceremonial, and proclaim bis satisfaction that in all parts of the magnificent domain he so large ly helped to establish in the south as well as the north; In the west not less than the east the car dinal doctrine of the Declaration of Independence the sublime announcement that all men are created free andu.ual has become a fixed and im mutable fact. After the conclusion of Mayor McM'clinel'a speech, Colonel J. Ross Suowden made a few remarks upon behalf ot the Historical Society ol Pennsylvania, and gave a short history of the relics. The gentlemen who wore designated to place the relics in their appointed place, then pro ceeded to the discharge of their delegated duty. The Mayor made a few remarks, pledging t hat Philadelphia would always bold those relics dear, and the assemblage dispersed. A fine band of mnslo, on the pavement in front of the State House, discoursed some beau tiful music, Including the national airs. Labceny of Sheet Lead. Samuel II. Brown, a colored man, nigut uoiuro iut emerea tne ehemloal works of Savage & Co., In Aramltigo, and asked permission to Bleep in a barn close by, telling a sorrowjui sioiy ui uu umtuivtiioii. Now, It so happened that for soma time past ouantlties of sheet lead bad been missnd from the factory, and the foreman bad susplolons that Brown had some agency in the matter. Ho be was arrested, aud In his possession a bundle of lead, identified as belougtng to the Institu tion was found.

The Superintendant of Police lias issued oiders to his officers of tlu Third Precinct to tho effet that the municipal election in Georgetown will take place on Monday, and therefore it becomes their duty to exercise unusual vigilance anu activity on that clay, as many of the newly enfranchised colored citi- zens, against whom there is much prejudice, will lor the nrst time exercise their new right. The Superintendant states that no elfjrt will be spared on his part to make the elec tion pass off without disorder, and instructs all officers who -may not be perfectly willing to exercise their legitimate authority, without prejudice, to resign their positions at once. Manifestations of disaffection by the police officers will tend to create a distrust in the community, and perhaps violent demonstra tions on the part of the already disaffected. The Bounty BUI. A number of Western soldiers and sailors, at a meeting held last night, passed resolu tions urging upon the Senate to press the Schenck Bounty bill on its passage, and ap pointed a Committee to call on the Senators in furtherance of their views. The Surratt Case. Miss Annie Burratt visited the jail yester day afternoon, and had an interview with her brother, in presence of one of the counsel of the accused and one of the jail guards, lasting over an hour. They conversed principally on personal matters, and no allusion whatever was made to the sad and exciting events of the spring of 18u'5. The Judiciary Committee did not visit S.ur ratt to-day, as had been proposed. His counsel have advised him not to answer any questions. Shipping Drawback. A Committee of the Boston Board of Trade and a delegation of the Maine ship-builders were before the Ways and Means Committee this morning, urging a drawback on shipping. The Greenback BUI. The Senate Finance Committee will not take up the hundred million greenbacks bill before to-morrow. They will undoubtedly report against it. A great effort is being made by the inflationists to carry it through the Senate against the report of the Committee. The Reconstruction Bill. The most earnest supporters of the Recon struction bill, now in the hands of the Presi dent, have ascertained that, although he will veto the bill, he will on Monday or Tuesday next return it to the lbmse of Representatives, in which it originated, thus affording an op portunity for Congress to take further action upon the measure. The Democrats will not filibuster on tho Reconstruction bill. When it comes back with the veto, an attempt is to be made to carry the Senate tariff bill iu a lump through the House, with rather slim chance of success. New Democratic Dodge. Prominent War Democrats from the North are here urging the President to sign the Re construction bill. The Omnibus Bill. The House met at 11 o'clock, when Mr. Stevens called up the Legislative, Judicial, and Kxecutive Appropriation bill, with the Senate amendments thereto. All of the Senate amend ment striking out the Congressional (J lobe. Mid all subjects relating thereto were disagreed to. The Senate, it will be remembered, proposed to liave the proceedings and debates of Con gress published otherwise than in the Globe. The amendment directing tho Secretary of the Treasury to classify the clerks in his pepartiucut witU regard, to tlie iwtiu-e 'i work peiicnued, was disagreed to. The Sen ale ainendm.er.t authorizing the appointment of additional clerks by the Secretary of tha Intel ior wn." disagreed to, as was also the) amendment increasing the pay -of certain ollicers of the Henato. Tho other amen I menu were c onctirred in, and a committee of con fcience was ordered on the disagreeing votes. Iron-Clarl Contractors. 1 Mr. Woodbridgn, of Vermont, mal i a c lin ing argument in favor of tho bill auUinmituj ' the Sec retary of the Navy .to have examined and audited the accounts of .the iron-clad con tractors, to which Mr. Lynd'i, of Maine, had the Portland Company added. The Bankrupt BVH. Mr. Jenckcs will ask the Km -is to-Jy to appoint a- Committee ot ("outer, e:u;o on the Bankrupt Bill. The Celebration. The Government offices and bunks' are closed , here to-day, and tho soldiers of the vn ir of 1812 are celebrating the anniversary of Washing ton's birthday by exercises at the City 1111. I lie iiulilio schools being, closed in .wonor ol the day, the Capitol is crowded with jVtvoniles who have come to witness tho workv'ngs ot legislation. Another Veto. The veto of the Tenure of Office bill ii ex pected on .Monday. It is bolived that Un President would have signed this bill ha t it not included Cabinet officers. ! From Canada. Toronto, February 22. Tho Globe"s mtecviT despatch front England announces that thm name of the Confederated Provinces is to be Canada; Upper Canada is to be styldd th Province of Ontario, Lower, Canada is to b called Quebec, and the other provinces to re tain their present names.
