The bill was then referred to the Committee on Surveys. Mr. Cattell offered a resolution that the Legisla ture be requested to pase a bill providing for the appointment of an Inspector of stationary steam boilers, with a view to diminishing the frequency of steam boiler explosions. Colonel Page ottered a resolution requesting that the Legislature shall be requested not to pass a bill now before them, relative to the Coroner of the county. Colonel Page pronounced the act op pressive and unnecessary, calculated to add addi tional bnrdens to the people. Colonel Page stigmatized the bill now before the House as an outrage. It authorized the Coroner to hold Inquests wherever he thought proper to Ignore any physician's certificate of death, and was calculated to swell the l2,(HKi now appropriated each year to the expenses of the Coroner's depart ment to double that sum. A resolution to change the name of Prune street to Locust street was adopted. A reeolntton to Increase, by two members from each Chamber, the committee appointed to consi der the wisdom of buying the Oas Works, and making It a department of the olty, was agreed to.

A resolution was offered by Mr. Bumm, asking the Legislature to pass a bill submitting to the people of Philadelphia the question whether or not the cars shall run on Sunday, and also to de cide whether or not negroes shall be permitted to ride in them. Dr. Kamerly earnestly protested against the em bodiment of two questions in one. The negro shonld be left out of the question, and the matter should be put to vote, "shall a suffering people who cannot afford to keep their carriages be per mitted to have the privilege of riding in publio con veyances on Sunday I" Mr. King was in favor of the cars running on Sunday. He did not wish to see the resolution de feated. The amendment about the negro was ap pended In Common Council; without that It could not have passed. If sent back amended to Com ' mon Council, nothing more, probably, would be heard of It. Dr. Kamerly persevered In his motion to strike out the negro matter from the bill. Jhe motion to strike out was not agreed to, and the resolution passed. Dr Kamerly ottered an ordinance for the better regulation of the Highway Department. Referred to Committee on Highways. Adjourned. ' ' r-mi Branch. President Marcer in the chair.

Referred to Highway Committee. This Is intended to prohibit wagons hauling four and five tons from the suburban ronds where their heavy burdens destroy the road bertr Itep. . i Mr. Mersnon presented an ordinance making the penalty for nslng salt npon a railway track In tile city one thooeand dollars foreach offence. i A motion to table was lost. The ordinance was referred to the Committee on Law. i 1 be petitions were sent to the regular committees. The appropriation to the Fire Department was then called up. The appropriations to the Empire Hook and Ladder, Congress and Klngsessing Companies were increased from tMH) to 4Kl, and the bill pfiffed. The total outlay Is $1 1.1,318 07. Mr. Rimnson called ud the bill to promote pub lic cleanliness and health. It provides that by permission of the Department of Surveys, any premises can be connected with a sewer for the sum of t? 60 for premises nnder sixteen feet In width, and 10 for all other properties, unless owners of premises have paid proportionally for the sewers, when 93 shall be the fee. It also pro vides that a competent person be appointed to mrke connections where they may be within street lines, the parties making connections to pay for lb cost of reaching the sewers. The bill passed after nearly two hours' debate. 1 Mr. Evaus ottered a resolution Instructing the City Solicitor to commence snlt at once against the parties emptying offensive matter Into the Schuylkill. .... Mr. Harper presented a substitute, directing the Solicitor to restrain the parties from corrupting the waters of the pool from which the city derives its supply of water. Mr. Potter moved to refer the subject to the Com mittee on Law. Agreed to. The Select Council resolutions of request to the legislature for certain Important changes to tne city government were called up. Mr. Harper ottered the following substitute: Ketolved. Wythe Select and Common Councils of the city of Philadelphia, That highly appreci ating the superior intelligence, high moral stand ing, and Irreproachable Integrity of the Legislature of the State, and humbly acknowledging our own deficiencies, we do most respectfully request your sovereign bodies to enact snub laws as these Coun cils may desire, vlx: Section 1. That from and after the passage of this act, the Legislature shall fix the rate and levy tbe taxes now authorized by law within the limits of the city of Philadelphia, and place the same in tbe State Treasury. Section a. That no salary of any officer elected by tbe people of the city of Philadelphia shall be Increased or paid during the term for which he shall have been elected. Section 3. That It shall not be lawful for tne Councils to exercise any discretion or judgment as to tbe pay or compensation of any of the employes of the city, and if extra services have been ren dered they shall not be paid for. Section 4. That any member oi tne uonncns oi Philadelphia shall be ineligible to any office of honor, trnst or profit, either under the city, Stale or general government, for the balance of his na tural lite. Section S. That each member of the Councils (ball be sworn or alllrmed once a month to sup port the Constitution of the United States and of the common weiUtH of Pennsylvania, and thai he will not receive anv gratuity, enter m or he inter ested in any contract, and that he will In all re spects discbarge bis duties with fidelity. Section o. That it snail not De iuwiui ior any member of Council to contract for furnishing sup plies or materials, even should the city be enabled to contract with him fifty per sent, cheaper than any other person. Section 7. That from and after the passage of this act, tbe people of the city of Philadelphia shall not nave tne rignt or choosing tneir municipal legis lature, but tbe judges of the District Court and tbe Court of Common Pleas shall appoint such officers as may be necessary to carry on the city govern ment, togetter with the directors of the publio schools; so that the people of the city of Philadel phia may uncierstana mat in aoms u an nower surlnis from the rteoDle." heretofore con sidered good Republican, Democratic and Ameri can doctrine, is for lbs future ignored. Mr. Harper said that the inteution of the substi tute waa to defeat the original bill. It la time for Councils to meet this mattar sauarely In 'the face. The practice of going to th-t Legislature for legis lation upon which Councils should themselves act should be now summarily checked. If Councils ate Incompetent to act for tbe city, and it they must continue to go to Harrlsburg for all manner of bills which can be enacted by Councils, then Coun cils had better at ones confess their own Ineffi ciency and request the Legislature to put an end to Councils. It will be far better for Councils to at once end their sessions than petition the Legisla ture to ao mat for which the Legislature especially crentea uouncus. Mr. Littleton said Mr. Harper had always been the opponent of the Important measures of Select Couucll. Two weeks ago he argued against the proposition. When bis argument failed he gives the Chamber a piece of pleasantry for the amuse ment of the members. If Mr. Harper has another week for operation he will probably present a spe cimen la the styleof Artemus Ward or Petroleum V. Nasby. But the Select Council propositions are just and wise measures. The amendments de sired simply mean au annual revenue equivalent to an annual expenditure. It is a return to the sale and wise policy of the ante. consolidation times. The public debt is simply au accumula tion of annual deficiencies. Hud there been no deficiencies the debt of the city would he less by about ten millions than It is to-day. Tbe Select Council desires that no publio officer's pay shall be Increased during tbe terra of his office. This was a provision of the old consolidation law, but It waa unwisely repealed. Another clause of the resolutions Is tor no extra appropriations. This should be made a law. 1 here should be no more appointments given to tbe courts. In time, if tbe appointing power be there vested, It will break down the courts, by subjecting tbeia, to political Influences. Pending a motion to make the subject a special order of tbe day next Thursday, the Chamber, at seven o'clock, adjourned. LEGAL NOTICES.
