General reter Isle's Speech.
The following la a true copy of General Lyle's
peech to tbe Convention that nominated him,
reported by Mr. McAran, a well-known pro
fessional phonographic reporter, and aworn to
fcy him aa being correct In every particular.
"Mr. Pi'eoldent and Gentlemen of the Convention:
t have to Mk one grace of you, and tbat Is, not to ask
me to make a speech. I can work, bull cannot talk;
but I can say that I owe this Convention a debt of
gratitude tbat I never can pay. This Is. I think, the
first time In the history or tbe party where tbey have
Clven the nomination twice by acclamation as they
have given me. Ths work, gentlemen, Is Just com
menced. This Is the commencement of It. Let us
canvass our precincts and stop this colonization, OIB
cers of election, where we are In the minority, should
attend the meeting; and the Return Judge, where
we have one, should attend tbe meeting next
morning, for there Is where Ibe damage Is done,
particularly where we are In the mloorlty,
If we stop this cheating, the lowest man on
our ticket will be elected by from 6no to 8000 ma
jority. I have travelled tbe county over for tbe last
tbree months. I have met many people In the can
vass. Ibavesesnand conversed wltb many people,
and I have failed yet to meet the first man who does
hot know from one to twenty who have changed their
Dplnlons from last year. We were not beaten last year
I WAS HOT BRATSK. I WIS ELECTED BY A
HANDSOME MAJORITY; but I toot counted out.
Tbe right way Is not to let those rascals do It again.
I can do no more than thank you from my heart for
the position In which yon have placed ma I wll1
leave nothing undone for the success of the ticket,'
(Applause.)

League Island.
The lollowlng Is a letter of Joseph N. Pelrsol,
rtemocratlo ennrtidale for CHj Treasurer, to a
member of tbe U. U. Senate:
Philadelphia. June 23. 1S02.
Sir: I take the liberty of addressing vou
tinon the subject of the prnposeu location of tbe
United States Navy "xard at League Island. I
nave been informed, and I believe, League
Island has been wholly reclaimed from tbe
river Delaware, and Is only prevented from
overflow by large banks of stone and earth. It
Is surrounded, except upon one side, by a marsh,
and for this cause, as well as from lnsalubrltv.
It has been unimproved and unoccupied, exoept
as pasture land, at a moderate rent, since its
reclamation. The fast land Is from six to eight
feet below high-water enark at all points, and
wouiu. cost over a million dollars to level ana
fit for use as much as will be required for tbe
large purposes projected.
If tbe object Is to erect foundries, tbe spongy
natare of tbe soil would make It impossible to
get a proper foundation for the bulldlugs except
at a great cost, nor could a woll of sutllclent
deptb be dug for large castings. It con Id not
costless than two or three million dollars In
ship-houses, dry-docks, and other structures
now in me oui vara, wnicn wouiu nave to oe
abandoned. Ttius the gift of the Inland would be
dear, and still dearer if 82,(XW,000 were added to
me gji wwaras jutmg u or use. Most oi tne
ship carpenters employed In the yard now
reside in Kensington, nearly eight miles dis
tant from tbe Island, wbere tbey would con
tinue, as Government work is not sufllolently
regular or remunerative to induce a permanent
removal, ine isiana is at least nve miles irom
tbe supply stores of the city. Tne approaches
are as low as the Island Itself, and unfit for
Dunaing purposes, ana rr distant from
hydrants, gas, Improved streets, police and rail
roads. The vlacehti only to be visited and seen to de
monstrate its unfitness, and I would humbly
suggest a visit by a committee of Congress for
tbe purpose, belore so great an outlay is in
curred or promised, wbere performance Is Im
possible. There are minor objections, which I
will not urge. I am ns earnest as any Phlla
delpblan In the desire of the location of a first-
class yard, but it is my dnty, Impelled by tbe
same reelings wnicn you nave, to state to you,
as a public man. It will cost at leastour million
collars to fit League Island for tbe least effi
ciency as compared with the present yard. If
you add foundries, etc., tbat will be an addi
tional expense, which I will not undertake to
estimate.
The present yard may be extended for about two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and provide
all the ground necessary now and hereafter with
out disturbance or delay. I am ready to give fur
ther Information. Heine personally uuknown
to you, I reler you to any of the Philadelphia
delegation or tne House to oe assured wno i am.

the Republican mass meeting of Me voters of the

The meeting on the Old York Road was a grand
success, and it Is to be hoped that the gathering at
Broad and Parrlsh streets this evening will be even
more Impressive. The Impetus given to the loyal
cause by Sheridan aad Hlckles should not be allowed
to flag. Tbe election will transpire one week from
to-day, and the loyal people or this good city should
not forget that the eyes ot the wbole nallon are upon
them, Andrew Johnson Is watching Pennsylvania
with anervousneas tbat gives him even more anxiety
than his refractory district commanders. Let there
be another "grand outpouring," as the medicinal non
devcrlpta style It. and let no voter In the Fourteenth.

Recrption op thb PfltKNix IIosb. The
Pbu'Dlx Hose Company, of Ponghkeepsle, arrived at
Walnut street wharf about half-past 7 o'clock last
evening, aud wps received by the Perseverance Hose
and a committee of firemen. They passed over a
short route to the Perseverance Hose House, and
there partook of a collation, after which they attended
tne nan oi tne fnnaueipniA r.ngine at Horticultural
Hall. The visiting company brought wltn them their
bose carriaiie. which is a very neat affair. This
morning, ai It) o'clock, accompanied by the Commit
tee, they visited Independence Hall, and were for
mally welctmed to the city by Colonel Peter Frits,
who made a neat little speech, In which he referred
to the various mementoes of the Infantile days of the
Republic wl.lch they saw around them. Speaking
of the beP, he said that it had proclaimed
in loud tones, on the memorable 4th of July, 1776. that
"all men were created free and equal." The speaker
connraluluied them that they were In the enjoyment
of (heir liberty to-day.
Chief Engineer Ly le made a few pertinent remarks,
which were received wl'.h applause.
G. w. Davids, ol the rouKhkeepsle Dally name, re
sponded In beha'f or the phcenlx. He said many of
tne meraDers or mat company nna lougiit auring tus
late war to maintain tbe supremacy of the Govern
ment, wh'ch guaranteed to every man free and equal
rlirhls. It afforded him. as be had no doubt It did his
companions, great pleasure In viewing the portraits
of our Revolutionary lathers, tbe old Stale House
11. tbe chair In which John Hancock, the President
of the Continental Congress, sat, aa well as the hall
in which that body assembled, calling to mind, as It
did, vivid recollections cf ihelr struggle to found a
republican form of government, in wuicu uoeriy was
the corner stone.
The band men renaerea me -rvar-rapiniKiitu uan
ner," which, at Its conclusion, was loudly applauded.
The visiting uremen were tuen escortea io me Ma
sonic Hall. They will visit the different Institutions,
benevolent and otherwise, tins ariernoon.
Tbe Committee are luuetatigaDta in ineir enons to
afford the strangers an opportunity to see all the
points or Interests in our cuy, anu are maiutuiuiug
the reputation of the city for hospitality.
A Reminiscence. At the hearlnor elven yes
terday alternoon to tbe person accused of forging
tbe name of Colonel William B. Thomas to three
checks upon the Corn Exchange Bank. Thomas Bro-
tliertonsiatea mat ne was a primer oy trmie, miuuu,
unfortunately for him. he bad done nothing in that
Una for aome years. This statemeut recalls some clr-
cumslanceslcounected with Frederick William Augus
tus Brotherton, the father ol me young men wno nave
been operating In lorged paoer so extensively of late.
The elder Brotherton was an Englishman, and we
believe tbat all his children were born In the Old
Country. About twenty years ago he emigrated to
the United States, and settled in this city. He was
what might be termed a handsome man, with a
splendid physique, and was much addicted to a sport
lug life, taking great Interest In prize tights and
other "manlv" pastimes. It Is said that he some
times officiated as a trainer lor tnose anout to test
their nnwnra in tbe rinir. But he had an almost in
surmountable objection to anything and everything
that savored or honest ton. anu was accumomt'u to
live altogether by bis wits. About twelve years
ago he commenced the publication of a
weekly Journal entitled tbe Sunday Novelty, which
was published at a small otllcs on Third street,
and printf d at his own residence in Bhtppen
street. This paper was a large double sheet,
and being very sprightly in character, naa a very
large sale at tbe outset. But Mr. Brotherton's ideas
of business were extremely loose, aud It is said tht
be made it a point never to pay any oi ms employes
their salaries. In consequence of this unpopular sys
tem, the ftimday Kovrliy, alter a successful career of
two or three months, exploded, and Frederick Wll
UamtAugustus Brotherton disappeared from view. It
is supposed tbat he died some years ago. It Is not a
matter ol much surprise tbat the sens of such a
father have come to no good lu the world.

TnB Women's Fbkkdmkn's Relief- Absocia-
TtOM. This association held a special meeting at It
o'cl'M k tb a tiH.rn nc, at their 10 ims, No 711 Samom
atieet. Qui' a large representation was preien',
snowing tbe great Interest felt In the education of the
freet man. M rs. Aubrey H. Smith occupied the dial';
Mrs. It. P. White. Secretary Mrs. Smith spoke at
some length, urging en the members of the associa
tion the n cesl.y of using strenuous endeavors to
raise money to enahlo them to carry on tbe noble
Objectof educating the down-trodden negro.
A letter was read Irom Mr. Fury, of South Carolina,
wherein he spoke ol the cheoriug prospects In this
direction throughout the Houth.
Mr. C'ather then addressed the meeting. lie
said that from the lime of hli connecting
himself with the Association, he had considered the
great and all Important object of the body was the
education of the freed men, and be was now fully con
vinced it wan the general conviction. The North
should take (he matter n lianr1, and push It forward
till an the States of thoHouth were Tilly reconstructed.
He had visited Bethlehem, and endeavored to se 'ii-e
tencbers there, hut could not Induce the people to take
fmrt In the cause till the coming winter. In Ka-ton
le found these interested In the subject of the freed
men bad neurly expended their means In send
ing clothing South, and could do nothing at present.
In Allentown fifty gentlemen agreed toglveasub
sci Iption of one dollar each towards the support of a
teaiher. In Manch Chunk tbe people appeared op-
fioafd lo the movement, hut the Indies consented to
ook after tbe matter II they could Interest the gen
tlemen. In IUr.1 ton, the daughter or a clergyman
consented to go south as a tencher under the auspices
o' the Women's Freedmen's Relief Association, and
tie people ol Hazleton pledged themselves to support
her. In Siismokln there was so much acilrlty in
church bulldi g, and so little In the coal business,
that he could do nothing but hope. Lewlsburg and
Danville would each furnish one teacher. In Milton
an organization was formed to collect money to sup
port a teacher. In Wllllamsport he was most cordially
received, but feared, from what he heard In conversa
tion, that he would be compelled to give up all ell'orl
there: however, he succeeded In securing the sum of
forty dollars per month, to be paid for the term ol
one year towards tbe support or a teacher from that
place. In Lock haven they would not undertake to
secure a teacher; they, however, promised to nay the
amount of 14ii, which bad been lost, If it could not he
found by the society, He secured bere subscribers
to the amount ot (too towards education. He next
visited iiellefonte, wbere in less than twenty-four
hours he secured subscriptions lo the amount ot $ik)
per month. In AUoonahe secured subscriptions to
the amount of Per month. Before starting
on these JonrneylnRy he had visited Reading
and Pottelown, and though uncertain, be
thinks he can rely on Reading. In 1'ottstown he
made an arrangement with a young lady, who had
been teaching ill private families there, to go, if
Pottstown would support her, but on returning Irom
bis trip through the State be found the young lady
had been engaged by the Episcopal Commission lo
represent them. Tbe gentlemen of this place were
not satisfied with this arrangement, and wished the
town represented. He then returned to Easton,
where many persons expressed a willingness to go
Into an assoclnl Ion where others had done so. West
chester subscribed for the support of one teacher, but
upon arguing wltb the gentlemen there tbey con
sented to support two. In summing up the number ol
teachers gained in the; cause, she thought they might
safely rely on ten or twelve. The Church associations
who work In the same direction hamper the move
ments ol this Association, There Is a want of unity
In tbe cause, a lack of sympathy In tbe work. Many
wealiby people who could do much lor the advance
ment ot this noble project, retuse to do so on account
of political affairs. Mr C'ather then retired.
Mrs. Smith spoke In the highest terms of Mr.
Cather's efforts, and hopod he would continue In his
opera Ions during tbe coming winter,
A card of thanks was then unanimously voted to
Mr. Caiherfor his valuable services, upon which a
letter was read from one of the teachers of Ihe Asso
ciation in the South, returning lhanks lor clotblDg,
etc., and the Association adjourned to meet on the
second Monday of October, at half-past 11 o'clock.

was arrested at noon to-day, on Kighth street, below
Cbesnut. by Reserve Olllcer Roberts, at the Instance
of Mr, Henry G, Uensel. a resident of West Philadel
phia. Ou the evening of the soth of August, Mr. Uen

Mr. llensel Immediately turned around and seized

A professional ''job" was accomplished last night at

Rodman streets. A burglai bored a bole through the
door of the kitchen, and then forcedlhls way into the
store and helped himself to about futo worm or no
tions, velvets, etc. The robbery was not discovered
until this morning, and the police, when notified, had
not seen any suspicious characters In tho neighbor
hood during the night. The burglar did his work well.
Selling Liquor on Sunday. The police
appear to be carrying out the law in reference to sell
ing liquor on Eunday. Yesterday three arrests were
made. Knoch Robinson ard Mr. Donohue, proprie
tors of taverns at Hixiy-lhlrd aud Pine Blreets, aud

LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.
County and State Poll Taxes.
Court of Common Pleas Jntlee Brewster.
The rule granted lust Saturday at the instance
oi i. iewion urowD, i-jsq.. to bdow cause way
a mandamus should not issue against tbe Re
ceiver of Taxes, and his sub-Kecelvers, before
reported, was yesterday argued before Judge
Brewster, by E. Poulson, Esq., for the Receiver,
and Mr. Brown contra. Tbe matter is one of
great Importance Just at this time, and his
Honor tne Judge mttde no delay in the adjudi
cation of it. This morning, at the opening of
tne ujuri, ue reuu toe louowtng aecisiou:
This Is a general demurrer to a petition for manda
rr.us. The object ot the proceeding is to test the
right ot a qualified elector to pay bis county poll-tax
without, at the same time, paying the State poll-tax.
The petitioner avers tbe tender of tbe county tax to
the Deputy Receiver, a relusal on bis part to accent
It. and It prays for a mandamus to the Receiver and
me deputy lo command them to receive and receipt
for the personal couuty tax.
Tbe eeneral demurrer was Intended to raise the
question which has been fully and fairly argued as
to tbe effect of the act ol April 17, 18G0 (I. L.. 70; Be.
bupp., 1426, sec. 7).
i ue second section ot mis law proniDiis aioermau
from receiving personal taxes, unless specially de
puted by the Receiver of Taxes, who Is reuulrod to
appoint at least one person I u each Ward ot ihlsclty
to receive pou taxes irom assessed citizens, ms
deputies are required to be In attendance at least
three bouis every secular day for three weeks prior
to tbe election, and on election day the whole time
the polls are opened. And the law adds, "Bald dopu
tles shall be required to collect Ooth citv and (State
taxes Irom the citizen assessed, unless be
shall make oalh or alilrnjallon that he la unable to
iay both, and not then, unless he shall have paid at
east one of said taxes within fourteen months next
previously."
On behalf of tbe delendants.lt Is contended that
the relator not having ottered nls "city and (state
taxes." Ibey were mt bound to take tbe single couuty
tax be oilered, aud if they bad done so, they would
have violated the law which requires them to "collect
both city and Htale taxes."
'i be relator argues tbat this provision t tbe law Is
In conflict wltb Article III, Section 1, or the Constitu
tion, which declares tbat
"Iu e ec Ions by (he citizens, every whit" freeman
nf tha aba of twentv-onn vears. bavluir resided la this
Htate ote year, and In Ibe election district where he
oners to vote ien oays immeuuueiy preceu.ug suca
election, Bud within two years paid a fslate or county
tax, whicb shall have been assessed at least ten days
belore ihe election, ahull enjoy the rights of au
elector."
It Is urged in reply teat "the act or 16 was intended
lo cut i-p by tbe roots a system then and now much
in voeue. bv wnk-h a person could vote bv navlne a
very sin ill sum, and lo compel the payment of at
ieat iwniiiy-nve cents per annum taxes; mat it noes
not conflict with tne Cons ltutiou, and lha'. nothing
tbereln rela'.es to voting."
Notwithstanding bis reply, It still seems very clear
tbat the only persons to whom a voter can pay bis
taxes are the Receiver and bis deputy: aud It Is equally
pi -in dial by tbe actof 1S'.6 tbe deiutie are required
to collect bjth city and Hiate taxes, unless the oath of
poverty Is made, "and net then nnleis tbe voter shall
have paid oue of said taxes within fourtee i mouths
previously."
I do not exaetly see the application of this last
clause, for It a citizen otherwise qualified has paid one
of the taxes witnui fourteen (nonius ne could cer
tainly vote. It would seem, also, tbat bis rUht to i ay
one of his taxts Is recognised ny this last clause, pro
vided ne repeats me payment every louneeu mourns.
Reservltg the question of tbe proper construction of
the act, it Is certain tbat If It were Interpreted as
rend by the Receiver It would be In conflict with the
Constitution.
He cannot shelter himself behind the statute, for
under the organic law the voter has the undoubted
right to pay eitner tne male or county tax, ana n it
has been assessed at least lea days before tbe election,
and Is paid within two years of the election, his right
to vote If otherwise qualified must be unquestioned.
This nisy cast upon (be city the burden ot paying to
the Slate the taxes which some citizens leave unpaid,
and payment of which the deputies neglect to enforce;
llius maaiug ine inx-payers aiscnarge noi ouiy inrir
own burdens but the debts of all delinquents. Of this
the case of Philadelphia vs. the Commonwealth (2 P.
F. Smith, 4&i) is a saa example, our municipality
havlnii been there compelled to pay nearly balf a mil
lion ofdollars which should have been collected from
the inuiviauai aeoiors.
I do not, however, read the act of I860 as It has been
Interpreted by tbe defendant.
for tbe convenience of citizens the act orders tbe
appointment ot deputies "la each of the wards."
Those who would accept the accommodation must
take It with its lestrlction, These deputies have no
general powers conferred on them, Tbe authority
which created them bad tbe undoubted right to limit
their functions. Tbey have been authorised only to
collect the two taxes combined, and the deputy, who
Is a defendant here, could not accept one tax without
a violation ol the law. This did not Interfere with tbe
constitutional right of the relator to pay the Receiver
the couuty tax. lor the Legislature might abolish tbe
deputies altogether, or create deputies with power to
receive only tbe tax on real estate or the tax on
horses. 1 do not regard the law as unconstitutional,
but tbe action of the Receiver not being Justified by
the act, aud tending to abridge tbe constitutional
right oi tbe voter. Is Illegal.
A mandamus must, therefore, be allowed against
the Receiver aud relused as lo the other delendant.

The prisoner was planer) In his custody safe
keeping, and he had, without authority, permitted
blm to go out of his contro'. It was his duty tf hold
on to his prisoner until released by the proper autho
rities, and to resist the attempts of others to takehlnt
way. The warrant that bad Issued to bring bin
In under arrest was considered by tbe court as per
fectly proper. Rut In order to give birn every oppor
tunity to repair the Injury he bad done the Common
wealth, the court would extend the time fixed for
the return of tbe warrant to next Saturday two
weeks, aad wonld advise Mr. Perkins In tbe mean
time to mske all possible efforts to recover t lie ens
tody of his prisoner, As that -prisoner bad been taken
from blm by habeas corpus, he should to to New

ing to Judge Blatchford, and thm return Captain
Rrown to this Jurisdiction; and tbe Court wonld also
suggest to the District Attorney that he would nse all
the means within bis control to assist in tbe recovery
of (aptaln Rrown.
Judge Ludlow, who, with Judge Rrewster, was In
court during this proceeding, sa-d that tbe sentiments
expressed by Judge Pierce mot with the unanimous
approbation of the other Judges.
Joseph Donelly and Adam Smith were charged with
assault and battery upon William McManns. The
allegations on Ihe part of the Commonwealth were
that McManns, a regularly appointed watchman of a
brewery uu town, was one night recently attack ed by
the defendants, who, arter heating him. took his pis
tol rrom him and attempted to kill hltn. The pistol
was found In the possession or one of tbe defend
ants. The defense attempted to prove that the defendants
were the proper watchmen, and not McManns; that
they were (old to keep an eyo on McManus to prevent
him from stealing, and that lie approached them that
Bight, and pointed tbe pistol at them, and they then
took the pistol from blm. Rut they failed to prove
this slate ol facts, and consequently thelury rendered
a verdict of guilty,
John Oauchrlu was charged with assault and bat
tery upon William P.Jones. Joues testified that he
was a peddler. One Saturday night lately be went
Into a tavern and asked for Komethlng to drink. It
was alter 12 o'clock, and consequently he was taken
out tbe back way f own stairs. There be look a drink,
and offered a hundred dollar bill in pavment, and the
delendant, who was present, struck him In the face,
after which be never saw his money. On trial.

Ky., who bought, In 1804, from Rrecden, Harnett and
Wield, tbe property known as tbe Portland Mill pro
perty, paying therefor lon.ooo. The defendants did
not deny this, but alleged that before this purchase
they bought a fourth of the land from William C.
Hull and others. The matter was fully argued; but
Judge Orler said the bill should he dismissed because
the case was not before the Court lo proper form.
Therefore Ibe bill was dismissed without prejudice
