II was conceded by the dale-jdanu that the oar, when selsd by Ihe Government officials, contained frartrtuient whisky, which adtulsstou relieved the plain tlir trom entering lnio any proor as to there facta. The ex planation made, however. wa this: Situated near the railroad lu Norrlitowo is a large distillery, having a side track running Into their yard, for the purpose of rnnalng their ooal.corn, and other articles to and from the depot. Not long alnce toe proprietor of thlneslabllsbinent applied to the agent ol the Norrletows Hallroad tor a borne car for the convejanoeof aerentj-flve sacks of corn from tbelr place. The agent reoiled that he bad no oh car at his disposal, bat thought perhaps one could be obtained from tne Reading Railroad, and at the re quest ot the distiller he requeued the agent ol the lat ter road to lend tbem one. Tne car was readily tent across the bridge irom firldgeoori and lodged in the distillery yard. On tbe following day, was the on torn every morning, the coal and otber ears were taken liom the dlstl larjr to tbe grounds of the Heading Railroad, and among tbem was this boras car. The agent, noticing tbe dcor of tbe car standing open, and seeing no one come In It, looked into It and discovered ti e whisky. Like a law abiding clilr.eo he hint the car at once set aside, and sent fir tbe United Htalei Collec tor of tbe Dlatrli t. Into whose hands the matter was given.

COUKT OF COMMON PLKAS-Judges Ludlow and Pierce, Tbe (September term of tbe Court opened this morning, tbe current motion list being tbe subject of consideration. NINTH WABD ASSESSMENT, COURT OP QUARTER SESSIONS Allison, P. J. In tbe matter of tbe rule granted on Saturday, to how cause why an alternative mandamus should uot Issue compelling tbe fully Commi-sioners to give the required notice ot tbe place decided upon by the AsutBsoia of- tbe Mnth ward for tbe holding of the extra assessment, before reported, Mr, Isaso GerLard, representing tbe Commis sioners, admitting tbat tbe petition of com plainants upon It lace Jnstllled each a writ, produced to the Court an adluavlt containing the fol io wing averments: In due time the Assessors of tne Mlnth Ward ret.rned to the Commissioner' oUce tbe street lints of tazables la tbelr district, at that time designating no place for holding tbeasneasmont: the Commissioners, in consequence o' this failure, actir g under tbe decslon ol tbis court as g ven by his Honor Judge Brewster, proceeded themselvei to fit the house of Colonel P. McDocner, Ho. 1018 Filbert ireet, as tbe proper piace tor tuat purpose. Sub sequently, on the SZa of Julv, a commjnlcation signed by tbtse assessors, Messrs. Brown and Law. less, and naming tbe house of D. B Baltler, No. ia' Market street, as tbat In whlcbtbe assessment should be held, was received at the Commissioners' OiBce. after the notlllaailon ot the bouse In Filbert street bad been given. But farther, on the 30th of the same month, Mr. Lawless despatched a note to tne Com ni'ssloners requesting them to consider bis signature withdrawn trom the not'es, as he gave it without knowing its purport In view ot this disagreement between tbe Assessors tbe Commissioners thought their determination should be upheld. On the other band Mr, Van Cleve maintained that upoa tbe face of tbe notice given by the Assesjrs, m.lblng was to be found but evidence ol unanimity In tbe choice of this place, and no disagreement ap peared un'll a week afterwards, tbe date of Mr. Law it Bs' note; and tbe testimony of this latter person was tbat he signed tbe notice, not unwillingly, bat under peiBuatico. Moreover, the Oommissloam did uot wait until within ten days before the bold ug of tbe assessment, at which time the law requires them to give the notice, to see if then the As sessors d is b greed; but tome six days In advance of the time they stole a march on tbe asiss sors audrent out this uo'ice. The decisloa of Julge Brewster referred to was a good one, but It did not airly to this case. f. r the circumiitanoHS under which It was given were that the ssnesaors, up to tne very time the Commissioners were required to have the lis's printed and the place made puhllo, were still lu a sute of disagreement, and Ihe Commissioners could not have compiled with the law unless they had named tbe place. Tbe Judge sustained Mr. Vancleve, adding that 1' was tbe duty of the commissioners, In case they had received no Communication from the assessors, to call npon tbem to name a place, and thtn, incase they fall d to do so, they were to designate the place. Be thought tbe Commissioners had mt done their whole duty In the matter, and, therefore, he would grant the writ prayed for.

FINANCIAL. 800 MILES CF TBI UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD Are now finished and in operation Although this road Is built with great rapidity, the work Is thor oughly done, and Is pronounced by the United States Commissioners to be first-class in every respect, be fore it is accepted, and before any bonds can bs Issued npon it, Bapldlty and excellence of construction have been secured by a complete division of labor and by dls irlbatlng thetwtnty ihonzand rjcen employed along tbs line tor long distances at once. It la now probable that the WHOLE LINE TO THE PACIFIC WILL BE COMPLETED L 1869. The Cempany have ample means of which the Gov ernment t rants the right of way, and all necessary Umber and otber materials found along tbs Una of Its operations; also 12,800 acres of land to tbe mile, taken In alternate sections on each side of Its road; also Xintiad stM Tkliir-rw Bands, uwnnlDi so trom i6,(KjO to 14,000 per mile, according to the difficulties 10 be surmounted on the various sections to be built for which It takes a second mortgage as security, and It Is expected that not only the interest, but the prin cipal aaount may be paid In services rendered by the Com pan? In transporting troops, malls, eta THK EARNINGS OF THB CJNlOtf PACIFIC RAlLfcOAD, from its Way or Local Business ouly during the year ending June 80, 1868, amounted to over FOUR MILLION DOLLARS, Which alter paying all expenses was muoh mora than sufficient to pay the Interest npon Us Bonds. These earnings are no indication of the vast through trafflo tbat must follow the opening of the line to tbs Pacific, but tbey certainly prove that FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS Upon such a property costing nearly three time Ihtrlr amount, AEE ENTIRELY SECURE. The Union Pacific Bonds run thirty years, are for tl0o each, and have coupons attached. They beat annual Interest, payable on the first days of January and July, at the Company's office in the City of New York, at the rate of six per cent, la gold. The prlncl pal is payable In gold at maturity. The price Is 10 and at the present rate ot gold, they pay a Uberaj Income on their cost. A very Important consideration In determining the value of these bonds Is the length of time they nave to run. It Is well known that a long bond alwaysoommands a much higher price than a short one. It Is safe to assume tbat during the next thirty years, Us rate ol Interest in the United States will decline aa It has done In Europe, and we bave a right to expect that such six per cent securities as these will bs held at as high a premium as those of this Government, which In 1857 were bought la at from 20 to 23 per cent, above par. The export demand alons may produce this re sult, and aa the Issue of a private corporation, they are beyond the reach ot political action. Tbe Company believe that their Bonds, at 'the pre sent rate, are tbe cheapest security In tbe market, and the right to advance tbe price at any time Is reserved Subscriptions will be received in Philadelphia by m HAVEN & BROTHER, Ho. 40 8.

JOHN J. CISCO, TBEAIUBEIt, September 14, im. lit 1 fmwtf j Nsw York, FOURTH EDITION FB0II THE CAPITAL. The House without a Quorum The Scrgcant-akArms Searches for Absentees Final Adjourn ment of Both Houses. A Hairs in Canada Popular Feeling in Nova ttcotia. F.fe., lite. Etc., Ete., Etc., E(e. Bpeeial Derpatch to Tho Burning TeUgrapK A Resolution of Inrinlry. WiSHiNOTOK, Sept. 21. In the House, Mr. Schenck Introduced a resolution directing the Committee on Public Expenditures to Inquire why the revenue supervisors had not been ap pointed, and to ascertain whether any officer of the Government, whose duty it was to admin ister the revenue laws, had failed In performing such duty. The Committee to be authorized to sit during tbe recess, and have power to send tor persons and papers. Objection was made to this by Republicans, on the ground that it was going Into general legislative business, and Mr. Brooks, of New York, objected to its latroduc tlon, when Mr. Schenck withdrew i. Opposition to Legislative Ituslnesis. There is a strong opposition to doing any legislative bu&lneus, both parlies being anxious to get through and go home as soon as possible. A Uuoruru Mot Present. On a motion to suspend the the rules, yeas and nays were ordered, which developed the fact tbat a quorum was not present, caused by several Democrats not voting so as to prevent, a quorum being recorded. E. B. Washburne has just ordered a call of the House, which was agreed to, and the Bergeant-at-Arms will bring in absent members. The Democratic tactics are 'o defeat the Republican caucus if possible, so that an adjournment sine die may be bad. Proceedings In tho Senate. In the Senate a bare quorum (thirty-four) was present, and when the adjournment resoiu tlon was pased, Mr. Buckalew voted no. Had he not voted, the Senate would have been without a quorum, and the resolution could not have passed had objection been made. The Senate resolution was sent to the House for concurrence, and the Democrats are filibustering to prevent a quorum voting, which they claim will defeat it. Tbe Roll has jnst been called in the House .in J no quorum is present. The Speaker directed the dcors clotcd, and forbade the members to leave the hall, and cent the Sergeant-at-Arms after ab sentees. Tbe Absconding; Post Office Clerk. Next to Congress meeting, the absconding case of the disbursing clsrk, Olmstead, engrosses public attention. Postmaster-General Bandall and Third Assistant Zevely were engaged this morning In Investigating Olmstead's account, but nothing has transpired showing what the de falcatlon will be, if any. Zevely was formerly a disbursing clerk, and is well versed in the accounts of that department. Bandall has ap pointed William Bell, a former disbursing clerk, to succeed Olmstead as superintendent and dls buismg clerk, and ho is also abslsting in the investigation. Fault is found with the Trea sury Department for paying tbe requisitions from Olmstead. It is alleged to bo coutrary to the rule of tbe department, which requires that any disbursing clerk who makes a requisition for funds must settle all accounts relating to it before another is honored with funds. Olmstead has not been arretted. ' Both Houses Adjonrn. At 1 o'clock, while the roll was being called in the House to get a quorum, a message was received from the Senate, announcing the pas sage of the House resolution by that body, which instantly put a stop to the House pro ceedings, as both Houses having concarred in the resolution It was now a law. The House adjourned at ten minutes past 1 o'clock. The Senate adjouined previously. Who Were tbe Democrats, Only five Democrats were present In the Houce Brooks, Bandall, Eidrldge, Borer, and Haight. In the Senate only two Democrats Buckalew and McCreery. The latter came in after tho Senate resolution had passed. Fully 120 memDcrs of tne uouse were in the city, and a quorum would have been found, if nccssary. Tbe Treasury Department. Louts P.
