Sr-F.ciAL Meeting op Select Council No Quorum Hespondino. A call by the required number of Select Councilmeu for a special meet ing on Saturday having been made. President Spering was in the chair puuctually at 3 o'clock. The meeting was called "for the purpose ol pro tecting the interests of the city, aud to take action upon tho communications of the Chief Engineer of the Firo Department and the Pre sident of the Hope Engine Company." It will be remembered that at the last meet ing of Councils Common Council passed a reso lution pi oviding for the appointment of a Spe cial Committee to inquire into the cause of the disturbance between the Moyaniensing Hose and the Hope Engine Company. This resolution was messaged into Select Couucil, but failed to pass, owing to the absence ot a quorum at the time it was brought up. This failure to have a quorum resulted from the fact that certain members refused to answer to their names upon the call for the yeas and nays when tho resolution of Common Council was put upon its passage. When the roll was called at 3 P. M. on Satur day, and again at quarter to 4, but thirteen gen tlemen responded. A quorum required lour teen. Those answering to their names were as I0II0W8: Messrs, Barlow, Fox, GiMingham, Jones, Manuel, Ritchie, Shallcross, 8hermer, Smith, Stokley, Wagner, and Spering (Presi dent) 12. The Chair announced that there was no quorum present. Mr. Fox now said it was very important to the interests of the city that the City Solicitor should at once take proceedings to restrain the Callowhill Street Passenger Railroad Company from tearing up that street. Ho stated that it is underbtood that the Callowhill Street Passen ger Railway has been merged into the Race and Vine. For several days past workmen have been tearing up the tract and removing the rails and stringers to extend tbe Race and Vine street road, and to patch ont its dilapidated portions. Removing the rails, they have sim ply thrown back the paving stones, without relaying, and are thus putting a full stopper upon travel. Mr. Fox protested against this as a high-handed outrage, and desired that his resolution might pass at once. The Chair decided that, no quorum being pre sent, nothing could be done. Mr. Hodgdou now arrived, making thirteen members present, but still no quorum. Mr. Fox lamented the absence ot one more member. Mr. Stokley said that if the railroad company is allowed to proceed, the city will be required afterwards to repair the street Colonel Jones said the Commissioner of High ways has full power to interfere in this matter if the railroad company is inluring the street. Mr. Spering pointed out the fact that even if this resolution was passed here it would be of no avail, as Common Council is not in session to concur. Mr. Smith If I understand this difficulty. the railroad company has taken up the 'bleeners" and "strineers." and then left un- paved that portion thus disturbed. Mr. Gillingham vehemently denounced the course ol certain absentees, who were known to be under tbe same roof, and who would not be present. He concluded: "I don't feel satisfied to leave the room without filing my humble protest against the conduct of members of this Chamber. Here we are told that a railroad com pany is destroying one of the principal high ways 01 tne city, ana yet memoers retuse to appear and form a quorum. I want it distinctly understood that all the gentlemen present belong to the dominant party, who are respon sible for the management of the city, and the people should know that there are three mem bers of the minority hanging around the doors. remsiug 10 cuuiu iu uuu assist us. 1 as& tuc reporters here present, through you, sir, to inform the public just where their censure should be placed." At this point President Spering declared the Chamber adjourned. The New American Theatre, now being erected on Walnut street, above Eighth, will nave a iront on tne lormer street of eighty-eignt tect. Some fears are expressed as to the strength of the front wall, in the construction of which 6omc of the materials of the old building are being used. The auditorium is to be one hun dred ieet Dy eighty. This is arranged with pri vate boxes, parquet, first and second tiers. Twenty-two private boxes, eleven on each side ot tne stage, are provided. The boxes will be placed with reference to a good view of tho per- iormance; nve on each side will be on a line with the parquet, and six on each side will be on a line witti tne second tier. The second tier or gallery will form a half-circle of beautiful proportions, while the light iron columns sup porting it win u-nj 10 auu sun iurtner to the architect's design iu furnishing a theatre the interior of which shall be equal to any in Its adaptation to the purposes ot stage represen tation. A dome fifty feet in diameter, with ventilation, will form the roof, aud the fres coing of this, as well as the side walls, is to be in light colors Supposed Case op Choleba. On Saturday morning a police oflicerlof the Eleventh District discovered a negro named Jacob Virdey lying on one of the wharves in the upper part ot the city, in an Insensible condition. He was taken to ihe Nineteenth Ward Station House, where he died in the course of the morning. The Coro ner made an investigation into the matter, from which it appears that Virdey was employed on a vessel that plies between this port and the West Indies, and on the voyage from tho latter place was taken ill, and on its arrival In the city was put outon the wharf wherejfound. It is supposed ho died of cholora. Caeeless. Yesterday afternoon, as Mr. Henry Cleveland was returning home in a light carriage, he was overtaken by a person oa Twelfth street, near Chcsnut, who was driving a vehicle in wnicn was aiso seated a leinale. The carriage containing the lattei-uamed persons was driven violently against the vehiclo contain ing Mr. Cleveland, causing him to be dashed out, and the carnage to be greatly damaged. Mr. Cleveland received injuries in one of his arniE. Thb Exodus of Philadelphia No less than fifty-live cars, loaded with passengers from Philadelphia, ran to Atlantic City on Saturday. Allowing sixty passengers per car would foot up 0 the number of 3300. t Postal Mattebs Colonel Henry H. Bing ham, Postmaster of Philadelphia, is making a commendable move to have a uniform rate of postage to all the sub-oflices located In and hboutthe suburbs and environs of the city. As matters have been, citizens have been greritly puzzled to know whether a two or three-cent stamp was required for letters addressed to dif ferent parts of this county, the worst of It being that, in the event of the postage betntr short, the letter was not forwarded and tho balcnce col lected, but consigned to the dead letter depart ment at Washington. The true facts are, that while a two-cent stamp would carry a letter to Manavunk, Germantown, Mount Airy, and Chcs nut Hill, a three-cent one is necessary ior thofe addressed to Fox Chase, Olney, Somerton, Bustlefon, Bvberry.Holmesbuig, Oxford Churrh, Tncony, and Torresdale all equally within the county ot Philadelphia, and some of the places being actually nearer to the general office than others requiring but a two-cent stamp. In addition to this, no oflidai promulgation of thesej facts has been made previous to that now made by our present Postmaster, and that, with his present efforts to equalize tbe rates of postage In the directions named, will justly en title and gain for him the thanks of the public. Pardoned. On Saturday, the officers of the Eastern Penitentiary received a pardon, granted by the President of the United States to Samuel Stewart, who was convicted on the 27th of August last of dealing in counterfeit money. A motion was made for a new trial, but the Court refused it, and on the Pth of September he was sentenced by Judfie Cadwalader to an imprison ment of seven years in the Eastern Penitentiary. Fiom this it appears that Stewart was in the Penitentiary just one year to tho day of his re lease. The pardon is said to have been recom mended by two prominent politicians, one a Cong rest m an, tho other an ex-Mayor. The Sufferers.
