League Island. : - The following official report of the remarks of Mr. Charles O'Neill, of the Second Pennsylvania district, upon the League Island transfer, de livered in the Tlouse of Representatives on Wednesday, will bo read with interest. Mr. O'Neill laid: I do hot wish to consume the time of the Dense unnecessarily after the remarks of my colleague, the chairman of the Committee on. Naval Affairs (Mr. Scofiold), but I wish to reply to a few of the objections made to this bill by my friend from Wisconsin (Mr. Washburn). All the objections to accepting League Island as a naval station were answered in the Thirty-ninth Congress, which passed the act authorizing the Government to accept it. The city of Philadel phia made this offer in good falth,and by it the country is now in possession of the island, which comprises some six hundred acres. It is hardly necessary for me to state the cost Incurred by the city in acquiring the title to this land; that is not the question to-day; but I will say in passing that the amount paid originally was $300,000. The act of acceptance required that the city of Philadelphia should give a clear and indisputable title to the Island before it passed into the hands of the Government. Subse quently, however, it was ascertained that for the more perfect occupation of the island itself for naval purposes it was necessary that the Government should have a clear title to a little more land than that embraced within its limits. Hence the city, without any hesitation and at an additional expense of over fifty thousand dol lars, matting the whole cost more than three hundred and fifty thousand dellars, purchased a narrow strip of land running along the south bank of the mainland north of League Island and across tho back channel, so as to give the Government jurisdiction over sufficient . territory for guarding the approach to this naval station. This strip of land, inclnded in the gift at the suggestion of the Government, makes the donation more valuable, and secures forever more than six hundred acres upon which to build a naval sta tion as rapidly as this and other Congresses may see fit to make appropriations, nearly the whole amount of which will be returned to the Trea sury upon the sale of the ground now occupied ' by the present Navy Yard. As I have already said, the Thirty-ninth Congress and I wish , my friend from Wisconsin had been in it to hear the discussion of this matter considered all tho objections which are now raised; aud by the de cision of that Congress these questions wero, I think, settled forever. I will say here, that tho "mud bank" to which he refers Is all the creation of his imagination from the prejudices of those from whom he thinks he has obtained reliable - information. Most of this Island is fast land, and those who have been upon and examined it know this fact. The back channel, of which mention has been made, will require very little deepening to make it of sufficient depth to accommodate the largest iron-clad vessels now under the jurisdiction of the Navy , Department, Tho bottom of this back channel, like that of the Delaware river in front of League Island, is of mud, the best bottom for a river where a navy yard is located; for a rocky bottom tears off iht metal thecUns upon tbe. ycuuLi, aud docs t - , . ... 1 , THE DAILY EVENING TELEGKArH FniLADELPIUA, FKIDA1, JANUARY 14, 1870. 3 thfm Other llnmnrrn Tli n.l.o... t . r '- uw a j i u u u i m i in front of l-esguo Island has a depth of twenty- "u. an iik iuw water, ana me oaeK channel tome sixteen feet. In reply to the gentleman from Wisconsin I will say further that I know something about this locality, for Ingne Island Is In the Congressional Dintrlct which I have the honor to represent. It is not an unhealthy location. It Is healthy. The people in that neighborhood arc among the healthiest of my constituents. It is not tho low, uncultivated land he describes it to be. It is not a more re claimed marsh. If ho will refer to the reports on file in tho Navy Department he will find Just the contrary to be- the case, and ho will ascertain that the Thirtv-nlnth Congress was fully Informed of all the excellencies and onvcnlenccs of the location of the Island when it was accepted. More than four hundred acres of the ground have been nsed ns farm lands. Nearly two hundred and fifty acres have been so used for over one hundred and sixty years and are cultivated farms; and upon two hundred more for sixty years crops have been grown, and everything that can be juibcu vj ail uncuiMiimi nas ocen raised tnero as successfully as upon tho finest land in Wis consin or any other State. I know these facts. The location is healthy. The ground Is fut ground. It Is good farming land. It is not a mere mud-bank. There have been some accre tions, as must necessarily have been the case; but the main portion of the Island, some four hundred and fifty of tho six hundred acres, is as goo'. farming land as Is cultivated In tho most fertile regions of our country. I wish to state a further fact, of which perhaps the chairman of the Committee on Naval Affairs (Mr. Scofleld) was not cognizant, and that is this: the land upen which the present navy yard is now located consists of some twenty acres in tho built-up portion of the city of Philadelphia, and It was valued by the board of tax revision of the city one year ago at $3,500,000. That is the amount of money the Government will secure for the construction of the new yard. Mr. Davis Is not that land growing more valuable every day ? Mr. O'Neill Well, sir, that may bo, but the Navy Department now proposes that we transfer the rhiladelnhin Nitt V.nl in I ..n - l ...... w UU XOIUUU, and if we pass the bill before us we not only authorize the transfer hut nrntrlHn fn. ..i. of the old locution.

CITY COUNCILS. These bodies held their regular stated meetinir ves. terday afternoon. Select Branch President Cattell filled the chair. A batch of petitions was received from Almost every suburb and section of the city, asking for in- K.cnncu iaiiiiiicB in me vuupe oi paving:, grading, The various papers took the usual course. A petition was received from citizens of the Uchth ward, declaring that Mr. Hml entitled to represent the Eighth ward in Select Council. The petition claims that Henry Button Coxe was duly elected. The reason that hn nnt returned as elected was "because the lists were not properly made out." The petition sets forth that iiiigriiui wrongs were commuted In the various precincts of the ward. In many instances, says the petition, the officers at the election polls re fused to permit Democrats to voto. The signers think that Mr. Coxe was defeated only because of (he policy of the Kepublican election officers to carry the day for their own candidates. The re turns show, for liodgdon, 1385 votes. The votes for Coxe numbered VMU. The petitioners declare that tho true state of tho ballot was, for Coxe 1428, tor Hodgdon about 100 less. - The petitioners prayed for an investigation. Mr. McCall moved that the clerk at once pre paro the llbt of names from which the ballot is to bo drawn. Mr. Shoemaker (late of Common Council, a mem ber of the bHr) raised a point, lie questioned whether the Chamber could receive the petition in question. According to the act of Assembly such petition must be presented ten days subsequent to the date of tho organization of tho Chamber. Whatever action is taken must therefore be taken to-day. Mr. King looked upon the petition as coming squarely up to the mark. It was in the proper time. More than that, it was in the proper shape. The decument only came into the possession of the Chamber when it was placed in the hands of the president. There is no doubt about this matter. The duty of the Chamber is now to draw the com mittee without delay, Mr. Shoemaker took different ground. The Slating of a document In the hands of the presl ent of a body in advance of its assembling is cer tainly net equivalent to the presentation of the same document to the president of said body when that body is in session, Mr. Barlow refused to base any argument upon any technical ground. He didn't believe Mr. Hodg don to be desirous of doing or receiving anything that diverged from the line of square-toed recti tude. The law governing Councils says "that pe titions contesting the seatsof members shall be pre sented within ten days after the organization of the Chamber." Carry this question tothe Supreme Court, and three of the judges would decide that the ten days in question include the day of organi zation. The other two might exclude it. The chairman should decide this question at once. Mr. Cochran moved that the discussion terminate at this point. What he proposed was that on Thursday next, at 4 P.M., the committee shall be drawn. This was agreed to. The yeas were 19 and the nays 7. A document was then read by the clerk. It was a petition signed by citizens of the Twenty-at'th ward, to the effect that Thomas K. Evans, Kepub lican, was actually elected to the chamber of Select Council from the Twenty-fifth ward, and that Mr. Snyder, who now holds the seat, holds it Wrongfully. Mr. McCall moved that tho document take course with Its predecessor. Agreed to. From the Committee on Prisons was received a note relative to tho Imperative necessity for the enlargement of the- county jaik The committee acquiesce in the desire of the honorable board of managers. They ask Councils to memorialize the Legislature to make an enactment for the extension of the prison premises by extending the corridors across Eleventh street. Agreed to. An ordinance by Mr. King to create a water com mission, with an appropriation of 50(10 for Its ex penses, was debated at length. It was then post poned. The Chamber then adjourned. Common Branch. General Louis Wagner in the chair. j A message was received from the Mayor, veto ing the bill making an appropriation to the Fire Department. The tenor or it leads one to believe, that his Honor has next October in his mind's eye. Mr. Hanna moved to postpone the consideration of the bill until next Thursday, at four o'clock. Agreed to.
