. SoDWVcil by tne Mayor November 4, 1867.
IhkliJK from the Lestslature of Pennsylvania
authority to grant on certain conditions the
Sse of the Perm Squares to the Academy of
Natural Sciences, the American Philosopoloal
society, the Academy of Flue Arts, the Library
Tympany of Philadelphia, aud the Franklin In-
BlThtMolnt committee, composed of members
. i,'0i inese societies and several iniluontlal
2iti?ens r presented substantially that tlieso
ini!iiiuv(ons pi)ss8 very large amounts of the
materials requisite lor the cultivation of the
natu.l sciences, literature, the Hue arts as well
ab the useful and mechanic arts, aud that
hv Placing ttiem In Juxtaposition In a oonve
Tiu'laiv accessible situation In the centre of the
oiiv such ft site i' s the Peon Hqunre ofl'ers
their museums, galleries, and libraries would
he ho clo&o together as to virtually form one
collection, which must become very soon a
sonrto of learning unrivalled on this continent,
io which seekers alter knowledge would bo
allured noin all pans ot the country. '
The disposition of the people to avail them
selves of the advantORes of museums, galleries,
ana libraries uiuy be inferred from the laci that
during tbe year 1WJS the museum of tho Aca
demy of Natural tjcieucos was visited by 67,769
persons, and it is probable that every one of
tbem acquired an addition to his knowledge
d Yhe'board has to regret that the views of those
who disinterestedly songbt to contribute to the
common prosperity of the city, without asking
a cent frtin Hs treasury, did not meet with fall
concurrence lu the Legislature.
The bill to author) .a the City Councils to
grant the nee of the Penn squares to the socle
lies named passed the Menate, but the measure
failed in the lloute of Heprtsentatlves.
At Iho niee.Uug ol March 13, Mr. John S.
Haloes wb duly elected a trustee in place of
Mr. John H. Budd, deceased. .,,..
At tbe meeting of the board, April 10, H was
unanimously resolved to purchase a lot of
ground, arid a committee whs instructed to
procure plans of a building suitable for tho pur
poses of tbe A canemy.
Toe lot selected, purchased, and conveyed to
Joscpn I.eidj', M. !., John . Weish, William 8.
Vaux, E.H. Whelen, Oeorge W. Tryon, Jr., aud
Thomus Sparks, In trust, is bounded by Nine
teenth, Cherry, aud Knees; reels. Jt extends on
Kaee street westward from Nineteenth street
l'J8 feet, then southward 144 feet, aud east 611
feet, and asain southward HI feet to Cherry
street, and along tne latter to Nineteenth street
130 feet, on whlcn the front Is 288 feet.
Plans of a buildipg to bo erected on this lot
lor the Academy, with estimates for its con
struction, were obtained from three architects.
Neither of the three plans was adopted, but, In
the opinion of the board, thai submitted by Mr.
J. 11. Windilm approximated nearest to tho
requirements of the institution, and he was
therefore duly eleoted to be architect of the
Academy.
After paylDgall expenses incurred on account
of the purchase of the lot, It was found that the
balance in the Treasurer's hands Is not sulti
clent to warrant the commencement of a build
ing without Incurring tne risk of debt, which
It is tbe settled policy of tbe Board of Trustees
to avoid. The estimated cost of a suitable edi
fice la about JiWOOO.
Under thece circumstances, and believing
that a large majority of the coutrlbutors, as
well as members of tbe Academy, prefer that
tbe dw building should be erected on Broad
street, tbe nourd ot Trustees deem H expedient
to petl'lon the Legislature of the Common
wealth, at its ensuing session, to grant, with
the content of the Councils of the clly, the use
of one ot trie Penn squares to the Academy.
If one of tbe Penn squares should be granted
to the Academv for Us use, the board is sails
fled that the lot in its possession cn be readily
converted into money, at an advance on its
cost, to be expended in constructing the new
building.
including 8200 accruing from a sale of chromo
ore (part of the gilt of Mr. Charles Lenntg,
which has already realized $2200), the sam of
J397 83 lies been added to the land during the
year The amount of cash on deposit is
$81,GG9 94, and the aggregate of unpaid subscrip
tions is about $15,000.

The Fire Marshal's Reprimand to (tie
Hangers-on of tlie fsuilller lle torn
nauy. Karly on Sunday morning, the 3d Instant, it
will beiremembered tnat a Are ocourred in the
stable attached to tho hide aud tallow estab
lishment of Mr. Baugb, on Corn street, above
Reed. The plaoe was consumed, with Us eon
tents, and a norse, valued at about five hundred
dollars, also perished lu the flames. Every
thlna indicated that an Incendiary had applied
the match, and. therefore. Mr. Blackburn.
Fire Marshal of the city, who had
hastened to tke scene, set to work with bis
wsnal promptness and activity to dlsoover and
arrest blin. Unfortunately, through the cri
minal screening ot the guilty parties by others
equally as guilty, be was foiled iu bis search,
aud the person or persons who lit the flro still
remain at liberty. In the course of his investi
gations be visited the house of the HhllUer Hosa
and Hteam Fire Company. Tho reasons wuich
induced him to go there were amply sullloient.
In the exerolse of his duty he was after tho
rotfue. He most sssmreuiv bus tne autho
rity to seek hini anywhere and every,
where. Yet as certain members, or cer
tain persous claiming to bo members, of tne
compsny lismed, with an exuberant dltplay ot
wounded leellug and hot indignation at Mr.
Blackburn s visit, have published a card in
which they not only misrepresent and i ilsliy
tbe fuels of tbe esse, but most meanly attaok
tbe character and efficiency ot' tbeMarsbal.lt
Is but simple justice to that gentleman himself
and tbe public at large to set the matter in its
trne position by an honest statement of tbe
a 11 air. This vent llution wiU 'subuervo several
purposes. It will vindicate a man than whom
none more worthy holds a public posi
tion at our imrjdj, will tench us
what sort of gauss infest the houses of some of
our fire compauies, and induce us to credit
tbatiaul, so ircqueutly asserted, tbat in many
Chses fires are ignltea by the very men who,
-when the flames are destroying properly and
life, run with clamor to the soune and make
much ado in 111 directed eflorts at extinguishing
them. The faois. then, counected with the
burning or Mr. Baugh's stable, and the subse
quent investigation of its cause by Fire Mar
anal Blackburn, are simply these.. They are
gives just as they occurred. Tuey flatly con
tradict the statement eontalued in the card
published over the fames of what purports to
be a committee of the "Hal 1)1 er Hose and Hleain
Fire Oompuny." Perchance, however, this con
tradiction is hardly necosssry. lor the spirit
which pervades tue "ShirUei's" card is so
plainly udJubI tbat any reasoning man would
at once dltcredlt its every state meut.
Tbe lire occurred at i o'clock A. M. In the
dead of night. Mot long after it had been put
" out, Mr, Blackburn, while making inquiries us
tolls origin, was told that parties in Corn
Htreet could furnish a clue to tho detection of
the lnceudiurles. Ho repaired thither hunted
up Die mau who possessed tho Knowledge he
wsated and was informed by him that shortly
before the breaking out of the lire somebody
wss beard to Jump over the fence of Mr.
UuuKh's place Inut the street, and their fool
alepa were heard iu flight. The gentleman who
teeitrd these suspicious noises raised the win.
(low of hu room, uid saw persous two or more
run out or Corn street into Heed, In ' be direc
tion of Moyameiislug avenue. They ran
towards the uoW house of the Shi tiler Fire Com.
'Vfr.-'Ji'.i?''0 Uo1 to enter It. Upon re
WiV.il Mr- lllackburu, in company
juose House, or ruth, t0' toe um&ll inaing
I adjoining lt.whlch the "bunkers" areoconpylng
until in the completion of the;new plaoe. Httii,
ooumpanieci Dy uie sergeant, na proceed en mi
the "bunk-room," and made an inquiry of those
there collected as to who bad brought the
alarm of the fire to tbe place. Somebody an
swered that they woniu send down to the aew
bouse for the "chief director," who could air rd
the requested Information. The man was sent
for and came. As be entered the room Mr.
Blackburneat onoe reoognlaod hlui (we oonhl
give his name If we so wined) as a party who
had conspicuously figured la several oases of
lncendlarUm, and said to him:
"It is you, Is lit Had I known It before I
would not have sent for you, lor 1 do not expect
any information from you."
"What do you mean ?" tbe man asked.
"You know very well," Mr. Blackburn re.
plied, "what I mean."
"1 know what yon rofer to," the man said.
"You are pretty smart; but you made a mis
take before and make a mistake now."
Mr, Blackburn rejoined:" 1 very well know
what yon have been in former years, and if you
bad your deserts you would have been in the
workhouse lonu ago."
At this point the direct conversation with
this particular man ended tho Marshal theu
entering Into a general conversation with the
others In tho "bunk-room." Being there
although perhaps b entertained doubts upon
the matter Mr. Blackburn treated all present
as members ot the company and talked to them
as such. lie arencd with them concerning the
bad policy of allowing no many "hangers-on"
to come into the house and run with the
carriage. It was asserted that they
could not be kept away and then
the Marshal Showed them bow It could be
done, either thiougu the aid of the police, or
throiiRiia determination on the part ot the re
spectable members of the company to weed out
all suspected and unsavory characters. He said
H was a duty thoy owed to the public aud
especially to the people of the nolghborhond
to free their company from the bud repute into
which lthadlallen. He referred to the many
fltes, quoted particular lnstuncet of those evi
dently Incendiary, and charged that in his in
vest lfat Ions a fact which Is undoubtedly so
he had hindered rather than aided to discover
the guilty. When asked why he did not atop
these lncendiaiy fires, be said that be
could do so wore they only willing to
help bin j, (nd desist from throwing obstacles In
bis way. Thus tbe conversation ran along
until Mr Blackburn took his departure. He
spoke but the truth to them a truth of which
everybody is aware. In their conflict wlh him
so far as public optult.n is concerned they
nave most sureiy come ou seconu best. Their
published "card" goes for naught; and Marshal
Blackburn can have tho proad satisfaction of
knowing that in his efforts to preserve our pro
perty and lives from the torch of the incen
diary he; ban the snrport and well wishes of all
good citizens "hangers-on," "bunkers," "run
ners," or "pscudo firemen" to the .contrary not
withstanding. Rehgkeb. This morning Lieutenant Samuel
Goidey, of tho Third Police district, tendered
his resignation to Mayor Fox. Mr. tioldey was
appointed nlht watchman by Mayor Hcolt 'M
years ago. He was buosequcntly appointed a
patrolman, then a detective, and flually lieu
tenant of the Third district, in which capacity
be has labored With mnrked ability. He served
under the adminlsiraiionsof Mayors Scott, Mc
Call, Swilt, Oilpin. Conrad, Henry, and Mc
Michael. Mr. Ooldey was forced to resign on
account of the associations into which he was
brought. Recently lh Mayor appointed two
sergeants and a turnkey at his motion bouse,
aud tiace their advent into his quarters the
station hcuse bus been a rendezvous, to a cer
tain extent, of firemen. Ttils Mr. Goidey co'ild
not endure, and wits compelled to resign. Tho
retiring etticer was uincu liued by the men
tinder him, and was highly respected by the
honorable cIU'.'Mim ot the Rifi.h ward.

PARAGUAY.
The Overthrow of Lopez.
The last suonprbold of the Paraguayan dicta
tor has been taken, i tie: news irom tne seat
ot war cu the river Plate was printed iu our
lute cdittonsycsteruay.
Vllleta was tho last great fortified point which
Lopez had before his capital Asuncion. It is
but seven leagues Irom the latter, and no
obstacle exists in that distance lo the advance
of the allies. Asuncion in au unfortified city,
or at best has but a lew pieces of c inuon. Thus
since the month of July, when Humaita was
tiikui, the alliep, under Marshal Caxias, have
cone on In their victorious career two hundred
and ten noile-. and have either tukou by assault
or oom pelted tho evncuatiouoi ilumnua, Tim bo,
Tebiquary, and Villcia.
Vilieta was by nature and by art a stronslioU
only tecoud iu importance to llumatta: for it 1j
situated on rising cround on a very narrow buud
ol the river, and it wu tuoiuhlthut themarshea
in front ot it rendered it almost Impregnable to
land asFuult. But tho old Muislutl Caxlas, after
directing iho Iron-clad to force the passage of
tLe river, "pegged nwaj" iu Iront, while ho
ordered General Ar'o:la to (jo no the west biiLk
of tho river Pai'.igu'iy, oj posito Asuncion, to
cross over there, uud tbenco to attack Vilieta in
the rear.
Vilieta fell before Uipse comblucd operations,
and the capital of boie is at length reached.
Lopez will either become a refugee in the in
terior ol his owu country, or esc ipr. to Bolivia.
The allies have rommi'led some blunders, as
our armies did at tirsi; baton the whole, con
sidcrlng their distant base and tho natural ob
stacles to be overcome, they have by their per
sistency unci endurance, inspired by the Kmperor
ot Brazil, deserved tbe success they have
gained.
We shall a ait wilb curio-ity tho detailed
news of the recent important event. The next
steamer should brin us accounts ot tli'J lligutof

when the two, in a friendly way, commenced
tusflintr wi'h the weapon, which waa heavily

stomach, iiifticliuir a fearful wound., and causing
a laceration aud iot,rulou ot tho bowels.
Medical aid was immediately called in, but of

interest, which la very large in the House, and
the Pacific Kailroad interest, which is equally
strong, pushed through a resolution of inquiry

tary ot the Treasury was present during the
whole discussion, and was brldly told bv the
new leader ot the House that himself aud the
Connptroller of tho Currency were the 'paid

understood Butler to say the Treasurer,' but
