Office of thb Mavou of thb Oity of
I'HILADKLPHIA, April 18, Hfi7.
To the Pelect and Ooinraoii Councils of Phi In.
uelphia. Gentlemen: I transmit herewith a com
munication received from the Secretary of the
Mavy, under date of April 12 h, 1HII7, and the Re
Tort of the Hoard rtppoln't-d by the President of
the United States "to conMder the propriety of ac
cepting league Island and adjacent property and
rights lrom the city ol 1'lulndeipbia for naval pur.
poses."
In presenting these documents to Councils, I
feel that the occasion is a proper one for tendering
you my congratulations that a business which has
involved so ranch labor, anxiety and trouble to
the people of Philadelphia, has, with the excep.
tlon of some merely formal details, been brought
to a successful close. When It is remembered
that Secretary Welles, and his skllfnl and Intel
Jigent Assistant, Mr. Fox, lor broad national
reasons, have uniformly and steadily insisted on
the selection of league Island as the sice of a great
naval depot, and that the ablest and most expe
rienced men ol all pursuits aud professions have
time and uguln pronounced in favor ol its superior
suitableness lor all naval purposes, it Is dilllcult
to lealize that years have been wasted In etljrls to
induce the nation, through Its represento.il ves, even
to accept It as a gilt. Hud It been ottered lor sale,
and a deputed question of price, growing out of a
leal or alleged exorbitance of demand, had arisen.
some color of apology might have been found for i
this procrastination; but, as It was proposed to
oen low ii witnont any equivalent beyond the good
11 wonia uo tne republic at large, no sued excuse Is
admissible.
1 he Board which has just reported, with "en
tire unanimity," in favor of Its acceptance,
was composed of gentlemen eminently quali
fied by education, training, character, position
and opportunity, to render a sound, impartial
and decisive judgment In the premises. It com.
prised officers of the highest rank and the amplest
attainments in the naval, military, engineering
and scientific service of the United States. The
clear and lucid statement of the processes by which
it reached its conclusion shows how thorough
were its examinations and deliberations; and tQe
terse and vigorous announcement of that conclu
sion, viz : that "in respect to Its geological, topo
graphical, and bydrogrupbical condition; in re
spect to defence; in respect to the practical busi
ness and wants of navy-yards, docks, and dock
yards for vessels of wood and iron, and in respect
to Its adaptation for all naval purposes whatever,"
League Island abundantly satisfies every require
ment, furnishes a complete vindication of the wis
dom and generosity of the municipal authorities
of Philadelphia, and the organizations which co
operated wim them, in continuing, session after
session, to urge a reluctant or indiQerent Congress
to perioral its duty in a matter in which, as this
report demonstrates, the interests of the whole
country were and are deeply and intimately con.
cerned.
As the Searetary of the Navy has olllcially In
formed me that 'I'he Department is uow prepared
to accept the title to League island" and the adja
cent property and rights, as provided for in the
act ol Congress, 1 respectfully recommend Coun
cils to take such action as will most speedily pro
mole that end. Morton McMicuabl, Mayor.

inform the Department how much, in their
opinion, of "the opposite shore of the back chan
nel from the Leugae Island shore" would be
"ample to enable the government to have the sole
and exclusive use of suid back channel and both
shores thereof."
After a very careful examination of all the ques
tions Involved, both directly and incidentally, the
Board does not hesitate to recommend the accept
ance of League Island and adjacent property lrom
the city of Philadelphia, to be held lor naval pur
poses by the government of the United States.
A copy of their report Is herewith inclosed,
marked B.
As authorized by Congress, the Department is
now prepared to accept "the title to League Island,
in the Delaware river, and adjacent marsh land,
including the whole of the creek known as the
back channel, 'from the Schuylkill to the Delaware
river, and all the riparian rights and privileges of
said League Island, adjacent marsh and back
channel, together with so much of the opposite
shore of the back channel from the League Island
shore" as is described in the report of the Bourd,
and which Is considered necessary "to enable the
government to have sole and exclusive use of said
back chancel and both shores thereof," as pro
vided In the act of Congress, the same "to be held
for naval purposes by the government of the
United Slates."

A Grand Tbmfbrancb Ratification Mbbt
ino. Everybody knows that a State Temperance,
or rather Total Abstinence, Convention has lately
been held at Harrieburg. The action of tbat body
has been published in all the newspapers ot the
country. It has been eminently acceptable to tbe
toes ol intemperance all though the common
wealth, and in order to ratify the action of tbat
convention a public meeting was last night held
at tbe Academy of Music.
It was a brilliant and densely packed concourse
tbat there assembled. The entire auditorium was
tilled, and the only vacant Bpace was in the fourth
gallery tar up beneath tbe roof trees. The various
organizations of Sons ot Temperance alone could
have tilled a dozen such buildings as our Aca
demy, and many persons anxious to obtain seats
were compelled to turn away.
Tbe platform was occupied by prominent hu
manitarians, clergymen and officers of the State
Temperance Society. Tbe latter body had been In
session in tbls city since last Wednesday after,
noon, and only adjourned in time to be In attend
ance at this brilliant meeting. A strong force of
tbe judiciary was present, lending moral influence
to the cause so eurnestly pressed upon the commu
nity by the State Temperance Society.
There was present a tine orchestra last night,
that lent additional attraction to tbe scene. The
meeting was called to order at 8 o'clock by Mr.
Joseph Martin, who announced the officers ot the
meeting, as follows:
President Hon. Judge Allison.
Vice Presidents (one from each ward) Thomas
T. Taeker, Dr. Andrew Nebinger, Dr. Francis
Condie, R. J. Pollock, Dr. George H. Burgin,
Hiram Ward, John Bardsley, John Hicks, Wm.

George C. Bowers, Thomas Cochran, William B.

Birely, John Bromley, Henry Dlston, Nathan L.
Jones, W. H. Stokes, Edward G. Lee, H. P.M.
Bikinblne, Thomas Wiggln, Wm. J. Pollock,
Dunlel Steinmetz.
secretaries Robert M. Fonst, John E. M. Har
row, J. Newton Pierce.
Judge Allison, in obedience to the call, took the
Chair, and In gracetul and polished terms pro
claimed the Importance ot the temperance cause,
announced hissieadlust determination ever to sus
tain it, and closed with an eulogium upon tbe
Governor of this commonwealth, who lrom his
boyhood had been an advocate and practiser of
toial abstinence.
Rev. Mr. Torrence, of the Pennsylvania Bible
Society, ottered prayer, after which Mr. James
Black, of Lancaster county, read the resolutions
adopted by the late Temperance Convention at
Harrieburg. The resolutions take the ground that
prohibition of tbe sale of liquor is the only safely,
and that no legislation can make right that which
Divine law bus declared to be wrong.
Mr. Black then made an address, in which he
argued that all fermented or distilled liquors con
tuiu the same poison to a greater or lens degree,
and that the only salety to health lay in absti
nence from both. The speaker urged that a pro
hibitory law was imperatively demanded, aud
that society owed it to itself to choose such legis
lators as would enact a law of this kind. The
county and the State take tbe license money; the
dollars clink into the public cotters, and tor so
much gold a license Is given to deal in liquid poi
Bon. . 1 his thing should be abolished. The money
thus received is not a tithe of that which the com
mon wealth must expend lor the consequences of
those licenses.
Judge Allison introduced Senator Wilson, of
muHutuuneiu, wno was received with great ap
plause. God, In His providence, (he said,) had cast our
lot in this Christian republic, where we can work
out results tor our common good. We have lived
lor seven years past in the greatest excitement and
struggle. We have tolled all that time tor our
country, and have buried more than 325,000 of our
brethren. In that struggle Pennsylvania has held
a leading position, and Philadelphia has won u
glorious name. Tens of thousands tell of her be
nevolence and her patriotism.
Tens of thousands of her sons went down In
that struggle, but the State Is engaged to-day In as
great a struggle as that tor tbe liberties of our
country. In that struggle, it is said, 50,000 young
men fall victims every year. We have an army of
drunkards among ub, and now let us, If we can
save them. Drunkenness spares none. It reaches
the most gifted Intellect in the land. Lord Bacon
In his day, said that more property was alienated'
and more men were ruined by this, than by any
other eause upon earth, while a large share of ail
tbe cilmes that came before the tribunals were
caused by the excessive use of intoxicating drinks
There is going on, however, throughout all this
Innd, a grand movement In lavor ef temperance
Since thedaysoi Washlngtonianism there has been
no such movement; and though tbe balls of legisla.
lion at the national Capitol have been so disgraced
there baB been less of druukenness Ihere this year
than at anytime before. In Congress a temper
auce society has been organized, of which some of
tbe noblest men are members; and some of those
men who have joined It are reformed men, whom
the speuker believed would ba as true to their
pledge as to the cause of their country. The advo
cutes of temperance in Washington have so In
creased In numbers, that within a few months some
hundreds of ibe drinking houses havebeen starved
out.
Alter tbat exhibition of the 4th of March, which
bowed tbe heads of a nation in sorrow aud in
shame, liquor was abolished from the rooms ot the
Congressional committees. Some of those gentle
men used to keep there their whisky and their
wine. They cannot do It now. The iron-clad oath
of temperance is administered to the subalterns of
Congress, and lie Infraction Is followed by die
TTHBta). The Secretary of the Senate, John W
Forney, has set the example by taking tbe tem
perance pledge. (Applause ) Tbe speaker con
unued at some length to elaborate the Idea that a
presslcg necessity existed lor the prohibition of
ibe sale of ardent spirits.
At tbe conclusion of Senator Wilson's remarks
the following resolution was ottered:
Tbat the citizens of Philadelphia, in moss
meeting assembled, do hereby heartily indorse
and ratify the proceedings of the late butta Tem.
pernnce Convention held nt Harrisbarg, and will
use their influence and inmost enieaor lo carry
out all the great measntes auoplrd by that body lo
promote the cause ol temperance In this oity and
Stti'e."
It was adopted amid applause, and the meeting
dispersed In capital but not "aident" spirits.
