On Satnrdaj City Council held a.-o-cial
ectiiig, in pursuance to a call male by Major
Mr. Smith, in the ahsnrwa nr ti,a PriHant hi,i
nty in the chair. Thore was no lobby attendance,
robahly because the usual lobby members were
nawaie that tho llres were Ut anU that the house
jus open.
(The Chamber having been called to order, Mayor
fox a lirst message was read as thus:
I Jo the he loot and Common Councils Gentle
e" 1 herewith return, without my approval, an
n-dlnance fo grant a certain privilege to tlio Gor
aiantown Passenger Railway Company. This ordi
nance directs "that the Oormantown Passenger
iailway Company is hereby authorized and per
mitted to use unit on that portion of their tracks
7irtg forth of the Junction of Gcrmantown avenue
and Diamond street; and all ordinances, so far as
as they are inconsistent herewith, be and the same
are repealed."
ij It is apparent from It faco that it provides for
Uie exemption or the Germantown Passenger Hail
Way Company from the operation of a general law,
and it booo'ines, therefore, a o, mixtion for considera
tion whether such a special exemption shall bo
granted or not.
(Informer, years It was the prevalent custom of
the railway companies of the city to salt their
Iracks at every fall of snow which afforded any ob
Istruction to the travel of their cars. This produced
I very general dissatisfaction throughout the com
munity, many being Impressed with the belief that
the practice was injurious to health, and more were
convinced that It was very annoying and incon
venient. Although sctentiti j men dltforedon the
abstract question of its effects upon the public
health, yet the fact can hardly be denied that thore
were discomforts aud disturbances of individual
health attributable to this cause. Under such eir-
t cuinstances an ordinance was passed February 23,
2 1HU7, declaring that from and alter the passage of
this ordinance It shall be unlawful for anv railroad
or railway Company to salt the tracks, under a pen
ally ol 75 lor each aud ovcry offence, to be col
lected as other lines and penalties are now by law
collectt d; and on March 11, 18(18, there was au ordi
nance passed entitled "Preamble and ordinance to
prevent the salting of the railway and railroad
tracks within the city of Philadelphia," increasing
the penalty from $7,5 to $500, anil offering one-half
of the same as an Inducement for information of
any violation of the law on the subjeot.
The preamble recites that the railroad and rail-
Wav COniDAnles have tiseil Halt, mmn their trai.ks in
1 defiance of law and to tbo Injury of the health and
Dusiness oi our citizens; and this emphatic declara
tion by the Councils of Philadelphia was ma le
after there had been a full trial of the custom and
of the ordinance prohibiting it, enabling the citi
zens, bv their increased comfort, where the com-
I panles did not use salt, to know, as they had pre-
t vimmlv Vi i 1 1 n v oil Hint Mtula. nHtnitlnna WDM wnll
founded. Tho prohibition was general throughout
the city; and although It Is true that permission
had been given to salt the tracks on certain por
tions of the railway running to Frankford, yet that
can afford no precedent for any further grant, espe
cially as in asked by the ordinance to which I invite
your consideration. If it is understood that rural
districts or any designated portions are to bo ex
empted from the operation of the law, the legisla
tion should be general and cover all such cases; but
the district of the city to which the ordinance ap
plies is, in considerable portions of it, thickly popu
lated, and is auite as much entitled to the protec
tion of the general ordinance as any other part of
tne city; as, tor instance, there is a closely built up
neighborhood from their depot on Diamond street
to the north side of Huntingdon street, being a dis
tance of 2232 feet, or forty-two hundredths of a
mile, and another from the centre of Fisher's lane
to the centra of Carpenter street, a length of 12,000
leet, or two ana twenty-seven hundredths ot a mile,
besides those parts known as Rising Sun village
and Nicetown, both of which latter localities have
been built up.
The prohibition of salt has been beneficial to the
public generally in health and comfort. It has also
invited attention to the necessity of substitutes by
which the obstructions of snow and ice can be
promptly removed, and we have seen that the in
ventive genius of our citizens has already suggested
different effective appliances for the purpose. Be
lieving, therefore, that the proposed legislation is
impolitic, as well as unnecessary, I must withhold
my approval ot tne ordinance, anu x respeoiruiiy
ask from you the reconsideration required by law.
Daniel M. Fox, Mayor.
At the conclusion of the reading, Mr. Marcus
moved to postpone for the present, in consequence
ot the leanness ot tne representation or members oi
the Chamber.
Mr. Plumly called the yeas and nays on tho mo
tion, which resulted thuB:
Yeas Messrs. Barlow. Bumm, Cattell, Cochran,
Franciscus, Herkness, Hodgdon, Hookey, Hopkins,
Jones, Kamerly, King, McCall, Marcus, Morrison
and Smith. ,
Nays Messrs. Duffy, Mcllvain and Plumly.
The matter was therefore postponed.
The message from the Mayor on the subject of
the non-fulfllment of the contracts by the con
tractors for cleaning the streets was then read.
Jt represents that from records which he has
directed to be kept, it is seen that there has been
great neglect on the part of the whole four of the
street contractors (Messrs. Bickley, Crawford, Mo
Glue and Heed), and that they have failed in keep,
ing the streets in that cleanly condition which they
were bound to do under the ordinances and their
several contracts. There were several conferences
held with the contractors in presence of the com
mittee on street cleansing, when they were in.
formed that they would be expected to keep to the
Obligations they had severally assumed; and if,
after a reasonable time had transpired, and the
condition of the weather would conveniently per
mit the work to be done, there still continued to be
just cause for complaint against them, the city au
thorltiea would resort to whatever remedies they
had a right to enforce. The contractors at first
showed a disposition to comply with their contracts,
fcnt aiihupnuentlv thev desired to know whether
they would be expected to come up to the letter of
their several contracts.
They were answered that the city was ready and
Willing to comply with the obligation resting upon
her, and that each of them would be expected to
perform theirs. The Mayor has not deemed it ex
pedient at this time to annul the contracts, as he
nii dared that tho contractors ousht to be com
pelled to perform the covenants into which they
have so solemnly entered, if such performance can
tut enforced, ami. if not. that themselves and their
sureties be continued to be held to the strictest
accountability; especially, too, if the contracts
were now annulled, much time might be consumed
before new parties could even commence their
work, and in the meantime the streets would
become in an Impassable condition, and the health
and comlort or our citizens tnereuy oe mucu en
At the close of the reading, Mr. Barlow stated
ht u. communication sent to the Mayor bv the
Committee on Street Cleansing had not been re
turned with the Mayor's document. This statement,
t, g.ih h made for the nurnose of letting the
riubllc know that the committee had taken action
n the matter.
Mr. Barlow moved the reference of the message
to the Committee on Street Cleaning, and said, In
.,,n.mr nf it. that the committee had had an inter
view with the Mayor and the contractors, and that
the contractors had agreed to go on aud clean the
streets, provided that the allowance lor i ebruary
was not withheld from them.
A member desired to know what good could be
accomplished by a rererence to tne cuiuuiuwjo,
asmucii as the committee had already had the mat
nnilnr fVWihlriltriLt.ion.
In defence of the contractors, it was stated that
ii. ui,.lu'i piinnrnncn for Februarv. which had
'it been withheld, is 750; Crawford's, $M2S, and
" McGlue's, 2362 73, and that each had expended
considerable in tne work auraig xue muuiu.
" On motion, the message was referred to the Com

Common Branch At half-past four o'clock the
Common Council was called to order, Mr. Wagner
in the chair, and the call of the Mavor was read.
The Clerk read a communication from his Honor,
relative- to the non-periormance of the contract
made by those parties who had engaged to clean
the streets of the city.
Mr. Stockham moved that the communication be
laid on the table, aud its consideration postponed
nntll next week.
Mr. Hanna thought that the Mayor should have
had the courage to have annulled the contract if he
thonght it deserved such action. He also offered an
amendment to Mr. Stockham's motion, that the
consideration oi vu uiuuer oe inuennltely post
Mr. F.vana offered a resolution to refer the com
munication of the Mayor to a joint special com-

THE ALABAMl TREATY.
What tbe London I'npera Say or lis
Jti-Jeclluu.
Tho London Timet speaks tlina.
"We have said enough to Justify the nsscrtioii
that our position would bo impioved by the
rejection of Hie Alabimia convention. Wo
beiieve the prospect or establishing a perma
nent good feeliiiK between tbo two countries
will not he cnuungered by tlio failure of thla
Irmly. Any one who will tuke the trouble to
follow out in thought the way in wlilcti tho
convention would bo worked 11 accepted will
noon sou that the practical conduct of It la
bristling with dangers. A failure of the con
vention would intensify any 111 feeling now
existing. A discovery that the convention
bound us to recoguize a liability to the
United (States lor issuing a proclamation
ot neutrality would irritate ourselves. The
discovery that tue United bttit.o would
be slopped from denying the existence of
civil wr at the time l bo proclamation was
Issued wonld Irritate them. It seems certain
that one, it semis probauie that both, theie
conditions are bound up In the Alabama con
vention It is, in fact, au unintentionally de
lusive document, and our Uoveinuient proba
bly had little taltn in it, if we may Judge from
the language of the royal speech. But It will at
least warn lutuie dlpiomailsis of the things to
be avoided tn arranging any new convention.
It will probably not be long before a fresh
treaty of arbitration will be negotiated, and we
may be satisfied mat It will be clear and defi
nite in its articles, prescribing ezaotly the
points npon which a decision is sought, and
containing within itself a method of procedure
capable ot being carried to a successful issue."
Tne London atar comments as follows:
"We have never concealed our opinion of the
responsibility which our Government under
took by permitting that ill starred cruiser to
have left Liverpool and to lake shelter In our
colonial : ports during the war. We ought to
have cuased tbe pirate from the ooeau and
trltd the commander at the Old Bailey lor his
life Theburnlogof peaceful merchantmen on
tbe blgn seas by a mock hero, woo stole his
snip and had a crew composed of the sweep
ings of Liverpool, was an abhorrent spectacle,
against which we never ceased to protest; and
we tejolce to know, from Captain Semmes'
book, that 1 he articles In tbia journal, when
read by the crew of the Alabama, compelled
some of them to reflect that they were not en
gaged In a very creditable service. Bat what
more can be done tnan to submit the whole
question to arbitration, la order to have
our responsibility determined by interna
tional law t England cannot do more than
this, and If the Americans, or anv portion of
them, imagine that because we have done what
is rig tit we may do compeitea to ao wnal la
humiliating, they profoundly mistake our
national character. We are strong enough and
treat enough not to be afraid of acknowledg
ing or of submitting our conduot to the impar
tial verdict of arbitrators skilled in interna
tional usages; but neither oar strength nor our
greatness requires us to do penance, either by
Using the floor or meekly acknowledging our
errors Toy wearing a "duster on our head" be
fore the world. The mistake in policy of which
we were eullly was one into which we were
betrayed by many circumstances which are not
yet fully knowh. There was both treachery
and ignorance at work, and a want of moral
courage where we might have looked for some-
tning better, nut me tiling is over ana gone."

Farther Partlcnlara of tbe Disaster A
B'cene ot Terror.
We eatber the followinR additional partlou
laTSof the burning of IbeMlltle Htepheus, on
tbe Bed river, from tne jeuerson ( lexas) jnt

i liu uccouu La ui iiio cnrwuuvgflaa rcmwoui,
the spectacle as most appalling. The hoar of
mldnlirht had iust been chimed by the clock
when the pilot discovered signs of fire on tne
larboard side of tbe foreoustle, where, It seems.
two hundred and seveniv-iour Dales ot nay nau
been stowed. Four quick, successive taps of
the bell gave tbe alarm to the crew. Then
ensned a scene of dismay, terror, and death.
The btave captain cried to tbe pilot, 'Head
her from the wind! upon npr ice uoat was
headed lor shore, end all hands pat to work to
extinguish tbe flames, but without effect. In
lets than five minutes the bow of the boat was
ran ashore near Jeter's place. At this time
the forward cart of tbe boat was completely la
Humes, culling off all egress in that direction.
Tbe passengers then rusned in the stern of the
Doat. oriven vv tue uauieH. auu wiiu uie uuuo
of making their escape. The stern was at least
one hundred and sixty feet from tbe shore, in
ten feet water, 'rue yawi was swampeu at once
by being overloaded, and tbe occupants
drowned, nearly one Hundred lrantic, terror
stricken people men, women, and children-
were collected on tne aiterguara, witn tne
llamts hissing and cracking behind them.
Every movable tnlug was thrown overboard,
ratheis could be seen banting for their wives
and children, wives lor their husbands, and
children for their parents, amid tne shrieks
and cries of the excited crowd. As the flames
approached, all the men Jumped over
board, some to find a watery grave, and
others to save themselves by swimming; bat
not a single lady could be induced to late ine
water, and they all perlahed In the flames. All
united in their praise of the captain's presenoe
of mind, prudence, and gallant efforts to save
tbe boat anu pasbengers. jur. nemunou, me
bill clerk, is especially mentioned for his
heroic services in piovldlng tne passengers
with life-preservers, lie was the last to leave
tie boat. In lesi than hall an hour from the
discovering of the fire the vessel was a total
wreck, and over sixty persons bad perished.
The Dixie lay In Jim's bayou, about five miles
distant, tied to a tree, witn steam aown.
Captain Jacobs, the master, was informed
by tbe watchman that he believed there was
a boat on Ate. He thereupon despatoned his
male and a deck band to tne place of tne disas
ter, and they ploked np many persons floating
in the water. One of the most signal acts of
heroism that has ever come to our lot to record
was performed by Phil. Hill, the carpenter, and
a tltck band, named Jacob bleln. Twenty keics
of powder bad been deposited In the magazine
in the bold. With a presence of mind and a
daring that have few parallels in the annals of
sttamboating, tney, in ine lace oi a norrtDie
death, carried tbe powder up and threw it over
boarav a moment iuat, ana mere wouia nave
been no one to tell tbe awful story."
