We give below a short summary of the vale
dictory address delivered by Professor Leldy:
Graduates of the University of Pennsylvania: It
Is my duty to bring before you your duties, objects,
and alms far tbe years to come. Your medical train
ing now ceases. Yon are now to onter the profes
sion to prepare for battle, and to do It manfully. A
few years only have elapsed since you commenced
your preparatory studies, now so honorably termi
nated. Through these years, during so much inti
macy between stndent and teachers, you cannot
.have failed to become attached in some mea
sure to each other, and to your Instructor. Hence
forth you will coutinue your studies so brilliantly
begun. Yonr training only is flnlshcii. You are now
graduates of oneoi the best of universities. The
medical profession Is one of the hardest on which
yon could have entered. Neglect no opportunity to
improve yourselves. Opportunities are continually
offering themselves. By continued study only can
you succeed.
Jt Is your duty also to do all yon can to enlarge
the boundaries of your profession, as well as to help
yonrselves on in the race. Y'ou have many to light
ugatnat you. Men with no brains and with no edu
cation will be your enemies, but you can overcome
them. You are members of one of the most widely
known medlrsl schools. The University Is no s'lop
(or the sale of diplomas. Patient and abiding effort
.cannot fail to enable you ta surmount the usual ob
stacles. Never neglect the strictest principles of
integrity. By our code no member of the medl
cal prolesslon is allowed to do anything which may
bring dlsgace upon his fcllow-inombers. We re
quire of you to exert yoursulvos for the acquirement
of medical knowledge, as wall for our
benefit as your own. No member fulfils
the object of his profession II be nniiopolisses any
discovery in the science. It is your duty to commu
nicate the results of your skill for the beneiit of the
world at large.
The range of the professional laborer Is large.
One man cannot study up the great variety of sub
jects with sumcluit accuracy to be able to over
ome every case which may present Itself. This
being so, there is naturally a division of labor one
taking up one subject, and olkers another, lint
-there are certain casus in which it is uecc&sarr for
. very phyHlelun to be expert.
The social standing of your profession Is very
mreat. Old sad youun, the nilddlo-sgod, grave anil
s;ay, nil are the intimates of the pliysa luo. A social
party Is never complete without the family doctor.
The University claims yuu as its oSrfprlug. It Is
for you to say nether you shall be counted wortliv
of the name. May your conduct be such that iii
after years you may not ouly Im proud of her, but
that she may also ever be proud to own you as
cldidren. .
An Oystkrmam of Tartk William Wutson
is the name of an Individual who follows the
.vocation of an oysterman. Yesterday whilst
endeavoring to dispone of bis curt-load of
Wvalves, he stepped into a house in Mantua,
s.nA olicred to sell some floo Chlucoteugucs
cheap, The servant ta whom the offer was
made, started up stairs to inform her uiistreiis,
leaving the hall door upon. William, who,
although an oystcrmau, is a man of reflued
tastes, whilst waiting lor an auswer saw hang
ing in tho hallway a handsome velvet cloak.
The temptation was too much for him, ho en
tered, "nabbed" the cloak and loft. A few hours
afterwards an officer "nabbed" William, and
Alderman Alexander sent him to Hotel de Moya
messing. The police took thargo of tho cart,
and we suppose the oysters escaped.
UFBccCEBBri'L. An attempt wat made to
nter the feed store No. 1417 Callowhill street
n Wednesday night last, but the tblevea wre
frightened off before sncccedint'.
PBorr-Bon Morton's Lectchk. Last even
ing Frofesor Norton gave a private view of
some of the ri4W apparatus and experiments
which have, received and arranged by blm.
and whlc ne intends to use at the repetition of
the led -An on ,01a, eclipses on the 14th Inst.
Homo fln6 arawlnRt of solar flames were extu
bttd, beantlfully colorod. These have been
Oftned to Professor Morton by Professer Cooke
nl I'.niirlilM Thrv wnrn nrlrfnallv gifts from
Mr. Lochycr, the discoverer of the method of
viewing the solar appendages through the spec
troscope. A splendid continuous spectrum was
also shown, and when the screen on which it
was projected was wunarawn, iinwuu
th solar nromlncnces was seen on a black Uvce
troscope. A very beautiful adaptation oi tae
cornelian top ior tue laniem was exuimtea,
giving the eamo effect M that toy on a largo
scale. Theso experiments will add greatly to
the Interest and variety of an already very Inte
resting lecture.
Concert ast Fp.sTtvAi.. Last evening the
Fourth Probyterian Chnrch, corner of Twelfth
and Lombard streets, of which the Rev. WiUard
M. Rice, 1). D., is pastor, cave a concert and
festival. The chnrch was crowded, and every
thing passed off pleasantly, those taking part In
it acoultlinc themselves commendably. The
opening chorus, "Sonnd tho Merry Horn," was
rendered with flue enect, while tue solos mat
sneceeded It. "Home Where the Hoses Jrew.
"Good-bv. John." "Alone and from Home,"
were equally well sung and applauded. "Laugh
ing Choms" was admirably rendered. The
scholars of tho Bnnday School who performed
the "Anctloneer" and "The Schoolmaster
Abroad" showed great proficiency. The exer
cises closed by singing '"TU Sweet to be Re
membered. I he concert was under the man
agement of Mr; Joseph Greer, musical conduc
tor, and the pianist H. W. Wilt.
Badi.y Deskcwatkd. The temple of the
anneous eods. erected on Chesnut street, below
Sixth, by a generously-minded cltlen, nnder
the supervlHlon of tho Philadelphia Fountain
Society, has bocn badly damaged by the ruling
powers of that public thoroughfare. A fow
weeks since one of tbe handles of the orna
mental flower vaso with which the structure is
surmounted was knocked off and lay on the
pavement in fragments. This morning It was
found that the wooden cover placed upon the
fountain to protect it from ico, snow, and other
destructive agents, has been completely shat
tered. Cannot those who thus delight to upset
thfngs generally find some less useful article on
wlilch to exercise their combative powers t
Vaoranct. Vacrants seem to be on the in
crease, and the need of a House of Correction
is being daily made manifest. Our station
houses are crowded nightly by poor unfortu
nate nnd degraded belnirs, who if a chance were
offered them would be enabled to earn sufficient
to support themselves, and perhaps others. The
police reports of this moraine show that 104 of
these creatures were accommodated with lodg
ings at the 1 bird District Station House last
night, and also that during January no less than
HM'J were so accommodated in the different
districts. The Febrnary roll foots up 9127.
Orr.n. The same monotonous 'reports were
again sounded by the rouce Lieutenants this
morning more open houses. The Knights of
Fythlas Hall, 3ectnd and (iermsn streets, the
tailor store southwest corner of 1 hirteentu and
't'besnut streets, and five houses in the Fifth
Dictrict, made up tho list. The only reason
that these places were not robbed was because
the thieves of our city do not desire to rob such
ignorant people, lest they might be thrown npon
the community as vagrants, the thieves recK
oning that if they lost what they now possess
they would never be able to make a living.
Death of as Esteem kd Merchant Mr,
John C. Marll, a highly-rcspeetcd citizen and
merchant, died yesterday at his residence. No.
1519 Spring Garden street. Tho deceased was a
young man in the prime of life, being only

deat h, but was well known and greatly esteemed

of coal. Tho funeral will take place on noxt
Monday morning.
Coi.orep. Thomas Jordan, an ebon-hucd in
dividual, with two companions, were lost night
prowling about the neighborhood of Tenth and
Lombard streets, when, an officer arriving, they
left. The "star" followed them to Tenth and
Balnbridge streets, where etood a country
wagon, l nomas entered, when the omcer made
for the trio. Two of them took leg ball, and
the officer took Thomas. On being searched.
the negro's usual weapon, a razor, was found on
him. Alderman Morrow committed him to
answer.
Obstikajb Whisky. Thomas Dalton y ester-
say sncceeaed in lorming a complete blockade
of vehicles, cars, etc., at Eighth and Vine
streets. Thomas had been drinking freely du
ring the day of obstinate whisky, and It at
length getting the better of him, he stopped his
team on the track at the Intersection of the
streets named, and resolved to fight it out on
that line if it took all night. At about dusk an
ollicer arrived and took Thorns s before Alder
man Bonsall, who hold hint in f 500 ball to
answer.
ATTKMPTr.n BuROi.ARr. Between 2 and S
o'clock this A. M. Officer Ruff, of tho Sixth dis
trict, observed two men moving about the roof
ot the dwelling Pio. UioO Chesnut street, occu
pied by a Mrs Lungrcn. He at once awoke
some of the inmates by ringing the bell, and
entering, proccedcd'up stairs. The thieves had
by this time entered an upper story, but, hear
ing his approach, they again sought the roof,
and, leaping -down to an adjoining Sat, suc
ceeded, after miming over several more, in
escaping. .

Drowneb. About 3'!J0 o'clock this morning

Sjwctel DMpofck to Th Kerning TelcfrtpK
Harrisbubo. March 11 The extraordinary
freaks of the Senate in regard to General Irwin
are the subject of much discussion, and nobody
understands what they mean. The warrant
was issued for the arrest of Irwin, and given to
the Sorgeant-at-Arms, who was to have started
to-day for the arrest. Before the Ink, however,
had scarcely time to dry, the Senate of Penn
sylvania, which yesterday sat as a high court,
and Issued Its macdatejn the name of tho peo
ple, to-day reversed its decision and virtually
acknowledged that Its first attempt to exercise
judicial powers has been a mistake. The course
pursued has excited equal astonishment,
amusement, and wonder.
The Oil City Fire.
Oil City, March it 10 45 A. M A fire broke
out at John Munuhall's landing, among the nar
row guage oil tank cars, supposed to have
ignited while passing the broad guage locomo
tive. Six cars, with their wooden tanks, were
consumed. Two or three of the care were full
of oil.
Owing to the 6plendld exertions of the men,
who labored hard to prevent the spread of the
conflagration, by 1130 the terrible fright of the
public had given way to a feeling of safety,
No great damage was done. The owners of the
cars ore the heaviest losers.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Oil City, Pa., March 11. We were terrified
with the cry of fire, which broke out among
some narrow-gauge cars at Mundhall's 20,000-
barrcl tank, at 10 45 A. M. This large tank
had over 10,000 barrels In, and the burning cars
were some of them within thirty feet of the
tank. It became so hot that gas issued from
the top, making a large sheet of flame. There
were six cars, two or three loaded.
Surrounding the fire are a nest of iron tanks
more or less full. The platforms and leading
pipes were torn away, and by the greatest exer
tions on the part of the public and tbe firemen
one of the most 6erlous conflagrations was pre
vented. The cars wero totally destroyed, but
further than this the damage is slight. There
was no wind, and everything favored those in
terested. Families for a great distance around
had their furniture out of their houses. Two
years ago this entire part of the city was swept
clean by an oil fire. By twelve o clock noon the
danger was passed, and at ono P. M. the fire is
out.
TENXSTLYAXIA LEGISLATURE.
Senate.
Hakrisburg. March' 11 Mr. Mumma fReo.'k
moved the reconsideration of the resolution
reported by the Finance Committee yesterday
ana passed by me senate, requiring uenerat
Irwin to appear before the bar of the Senate
Mr. Mumma explained that, after due conside
ration, he had come to the conclusion that the
Senate had no right to arrest Mr. irwin. 1 ho
Speaker had already issued his warrant to the
Sergeant-at-Arms commanding his appearance
before the bar of tnc senate
Mr. Brooke, a member of the Finance Com
mittee, was perfectly wHllntr to hear the local
mind of the Senate and be governed by the law
Mr. HucKaicw took the position that, when
General Irwin appeared to answer to the pro
cess, It would be ample time for tbe Senate and
his counsel to determine the jurisdiction.
Mr. I'urman believed that this action ot tae
committee was unjustly inquisitorial. He in
tended to offer at tbe proper time a resolution
prefaced by conditions that the Senate had now
under consideration the Treasury bill, and that
the Senate only desired to know the best method
of manitfrlng the finances of the State, as well
as to bow the moneys had been kept to enable
them to make proper enactments tuereior.
Jienoived. 1 hat the lnance committee ne in
etructed to inaulre into the aforesaid matters,
and send for persons and papers, and Place
the said persons under oath. He believed the
process against General lrwln was more child's
plav, of which the Senate should not be guilty.
Mr. naiiace argues mat me ceuaie naa me
rlirht to command the appearance of an officer.
ex-officer, or any individual as a witness, quot
ing extensively from legal authorities. He
believed General Irwin must answer here, before
the bar of the people, for his misdeeds as well
as the practices 01 the treasury.
Mr. White, as a membor of the committee,
actin&r in a Judicial capacity, voted for the re
port of General Irwin's refusal to the Senate,
with a resolution compelling his attendance.
and If the Legislature had not the power to
command the presence of General Irwin they
had no rieht to pass a statute for the govern
ment of the people. The witness who refused
to be sworn was in contempt, but there was
question whether a witness could be compelled
to make such answer as he deemed convicting
himself before the tribunal.
Mr. Purman said that any ludge in the Com
mon wealth before whom General Irwin might
go with the warrant of the Speaker, would de
cide that the Senate had no power uudcr the
circumstances.
The motion to roconsldor was agreed to.
Yeas Messrs. Bwk, Brooke, Connell, Duncan,
Findlay, Hensjtey, Kerr, Miller, Mumma, Nagle,
Ostcrhout, I'urmao, Raudall, Robinson, Sliu
son, and Watt 10.
Nays Messrs. Bllllngfolt, Broadhead, Bucks'
lew, Davis, Howard, Mclntyre, Turner, Wallace,
Warfcl, aud White 10.
Mr. Brooke moved that the consideration of
the resolution be now postponed for the present.

SESSION.

Washington, March 11. Mr. Revels for
warded to the Clerk and had read a commuaica-
tion from the colored Senators and members of
the Georgia Legislature, which he had received
by telegraph, protesting against the adoption
by the Senate of Mr. Bingham's amendment to
the Georgia bill.
The communication represents that tbe result
ot me amendment would be to deliver the
loyal colored citizens, bound hand and foot,
into the hands of their most relentless enemy,
and protests against it In the name of ninety
thousand of those citizens, and insists upon such
legislation as will secure an amendment ot the
jury laws, and secure a fair expression of poli
tical views at the next election.
Mr. Fenton presented a memorial from im
porters and growers of seed, etc., for an amend
ment of tbe tariff bill so as to forbid the impor
tation of these articles free of duty.
The following bills were introduced and re
ferred: By Mr. Spencer, fdr granting land to aid in
the construction of a railroad in Alabama.

The Joint resolution for the appointment of a
joint committee to consider all matters relating
to me Indian tribes was discussed by Messrs.
Harlan, Stewart, and Thurman.
Mr. Harlan remarked that the proposition
would furnish a mode of conference between the
two bouses upon a subject ou which an evident
difference of oplulou exited between the
houfce. ...
Mr. Thurman inquired what was that differ
ence of opinion?
Mr. Harlan explained that It arose from the
belief on the part of some mombers of the
House, that that body should bo consulted in the
matter of expenditures resulting from -the
approval of treaties submitted to the Senate for
raiiucauon or rejection, these treaties some
times involved' large appropriations of money
and the disposition of extensive tracts of the
puldie domain. A similar difference of opinion
existed as to whether the Interior Department
or vr ar AJCparimcut, through the Interposition
of army officers, should exercise supervision
over the Indians. - - --
A motion by Mr. Thurman to postpone In
definitely the whole subject resulted In . a tie
vote, and was determined negatively by the
casuug vote 01 me Vlce-l'resident.

mittee on tbe Tariff bill.
Mr. Pawss (Moes. appealed to the House to
go Into committee on tbe Deficiency bill.
Mr. wood suggested mat tho proposition oi
Mr. Dawes be agreed to. as that gentleman was
announced as Intending to stamp Connecticut
for tbe Republican party, and be wanted mm to

vote as lie naa cone in now Hampshire.
(Laugh tr.)
Mr. uawes said ne would acquiesce in it 11 me
gentleman from New York would go with him
to Connecticut, otherwise he believed he would
remain in Washington.
Pending the proposition to go into commit
tee, resolutions were offered and adopted as
follows:
By Mr. Schenck (Ohio), directing the Secretary
of tbe Treasury and the Collector of Internal
Revenue to communicate their views and
opinions In reference to the expediency and
advantage or disadvantage to the Government
of abolishing in the collection of duties on
foreign imports, and the collection of internal
tax. all allowance, moieties, or shares of penal
ties, fines, forfeitures, or recoveries to officers
or to Informers.
By Mr. Bchumaker. rconestlng the Committee
of Wavs and Means to inonlre into the expedi
ency of ro amending the Internal Revenue law
ns to repeal the provMon in section nineteen of
me act ot March 2. 1H07, wnicn provides mat no
suitfor the purpeseof restraining the assessment
or collection ot taxes than be maintained lu any
eonrt.
The lloufe then, at half-past I o clock, went
Into Committee of the Whole, Mr. Wheeler in
the chair, on the Tariff bill, and was addressed
in support of the bill by Mr. McCarthy, who
declared that whilst in lavor 01 a tariit lor reve
nue, ho also desired to keep In view the iudl
clous protection of me labor and industries of
the country.
While doing this, he desired to reduce tho
tariff on tea, coffee, sugar, and spices, articles
of dally use and necessity among all classes of
tbe people. The present tariff was pre-emi
nently a revenue tariff, and had falsified tbe pre
dictions 01 those who declared it to be prouibt
tory. It had increased the revenue, and had
Inrirclv Increased the prosperity of the country.
The protective system had developed hundreds
of new Industries and drawn thousands of
people from agricultural pursuits. The history
of the world proves no strictly agricultural
people ever obtained great national prosperity
A few years since the State of New York im
ported agricultural products, and now exported
them largely.
Not ouly States of the East, but all the West
ern and Southern States were lotting iu motion
the spinning jenny and tbe loom, lighting up
the fires of forge and furnace, opening up a
f;reat variety of mechanical and manufacturing
ndustrics, and developing their material re
sources, and until the home demand and home
supply produced a parallel of results and pros
peritv equally through the land, this protective
policy was plain, practical common sense.

communication in the morning journals of this

permitted to know anything of the accusation
against the Prince; that neither he nor any ot

nesses in the case, and that the prosecution
seems to be directed against his dead brother
and not against the Prince.

I The Pope'a Infallibility.
London, March 11 3 SO P. M. This evening's
edition of the Times gives the following from,
the Roman frontier. On Monday the schema
on Infallibility was distributed to the members
of the Council. It asserts that the Chnrch pos
sesses supremo aud complete primacy, and that
the principality over the Universal Church was
received with plenitude of power from the
Lord himself, by St. Peter, of whom the Pontlfl
Is successor. '
All questions of faith must be determined)
nnder that power, or else the words ot tbe Lord'
to Peter would be disregarded. This Ia proved
by the results In the Apostolic See, and the Im
maculate doctrine has always been fully main
tained, and consequently we Inculcate with tbe
concurrence of tbe council, and delne as a
dogma of faith, that thanks to Divine assistance
the Roman Pontiff, of whom It wan said in the
person of Peter by Christ, "I have prayed for
all," cannot err when acting as the supreme
teacher of all Christians.
.' Tbe schema defines what the Church must
bold in faith and morals, and that the preroga
tive of Papal Infallibility extends over the same
matters to which the Infallibility of the Church
Is applicable. If any should dare, which God
forbid, to controvert the present definition, let
him knew that he departs from the true faith.
