8 THE DAILY EVEN IN G TELEGKA I'll PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1870 CITY INTELLIUGnVli, BOARD OF ALDERMEN. The Republican to Nnm the Drmorrntle Flection OKlcrrn A Kew la the Bonrd The rincea to fflnke Out Duplicate Ketarns Chnnc, Etc. This morning tho Board of Aldermen held a meet Inn In Common Council Chamber, for the purpose of electing Judges ami inspectors to conduct the elec tion to be held In October. Alderman David Boliler, President of the Board, occupied the choir. After the call of the roll, Alderman Stearns moved to reconsider the report of the committee which was adopted, recommending each party to caucus oa the names to be chosen as election oillcers, and to hand the sa me to the committee, to be presented to the board. Alderman McMullln hoped that the resolution would not be reconsidered. He knew that the re port of the committee was a lopted by the board without a dissenting vote. In committee it was agreed npon unanimously that the Democrats should have the selection of their oillcers. The speaker hoped that the resolution would not be reconsidered, for he believed the opposition were acting In good faith when they adopted the report of the commit tee. The speaker did not wnt to see tae majority luled by roughs and candidates. Alderman Stearns said that the whole matter had been misunderstood by the board. The names of the minority were to be submitted to the committee to Inquire whctner there was any objection to the parties named. Such had not been done. The com mittee would have acted on the names had they been submitted, and they would have approved ail not objectionable. Since the list had been retained the committee learned that there were a nnmuer of un satisfactory names Inserted, and the reconsidering of the resolution was Intended to correct the list. Alderman McMullln said that If there was any ob jection to the names selected he would have them changed at once. Alderman Moore expressed himself to the same cil'tct. Alderman Thomas said that as chairman of the committee he expected the minority to hand In the names oi those selected by tliem as oillcers of the election In the Democratic divisions. This was do sired in order to Inquire into the eligibility of parties mimed before the list should bo presented to tlio board. This action would have settled all ditlleulty and the members could have appeared as a bjarJ and voted iinderstnudlugly. Alderman McMullln said that last year the Re publicans took the responslbllty of electing oillcers lor the minority. Some of those selected could neither read or write, simply from the fact that they knew nothing about the men they were selecting That right should be loft to the party who under stood the men. Tlio speaker concluded by saying that it was the wish of the Judges of our courts that good men should be selected, and they did not waut to be bothered by those seeking changes In the lists. The motion to reconsider was agreed to yeas, S3 ; nays, Hi). Alderman Kerr moved to recommit the report, and that if any objections are oii'ered to the names presented by the minority they be stricken oil". Alderman Johnson moved thaV4lie names be pre sented direct to the board for their action. A motion to lay the amendments on the table was then agreed to. Yeas, 35; ntiys, 27. The report of the committee then came up and was likewise laid on the table. Alderman Jones offered a resolution requesting the City Councils to appropriate $200 to pay the mes senger. Agreed to. A resolution wbb then adopted changing the place of meeting of division canvassers as follows: Fourth ward, First division From James M. King's, No. 748 Sunsom Btreet, to northeast corner Front and Almond streets.

Alderman Jones thought the court ought to be consulted in this matter. Alderman McMullln said that Judge Pierce was out of town, and as it required a majority of the judges to make the change it was a hard matter to get the three judges attending court together. The motion was agreed to. The changes effected by the above motion are as follows: First division Fourth ward Henry W. Spiel. Fifth division Sixth ward Morris Murphy. Eighth division Fifteenth ward John J. Boland. First division Twelfth ward Michael Maguire. Fifth division Eighth ward James Carr. On moiion the board adjourned. Pamphlet Laws of 1870 A collection of interest ing tales by the celebrated poets aud authors Ilenszey, Watt, Nagle.Connell, Bunn, Hong, Stokes, Josephs, and other eminent romancers has been issued at Harrisburg, and is a suitable gift for a birthday present, or a wedding gift to a newiy-mir-ried couple. It is fraught with religious instruction, and the estimation in which the authors of it are held in the community in which they reside should lie a solemn warning to the youth whose foot la on the threshold of the house of rolsreprescntatlves. The book Is published at one dollar aud fifty cents. and was produced at an almost incalculable ex pense. There are many suggestions we could make to the authors of the next issue of this Interesting annual. Shoe Thieves?. Jacob Fry on Saturday night was arrested at Seventh and Baker streets with a pair of shoes, which he was attempting to dispose of at a figure which raised the suspicion that he had stolen them. Such was found to be the fact, and he was commiued oy Alderman coinns. Wesley Smith (colored) took a fancy to a ptlr of Bhoes dangling in front of a store on South street, below Fifth, and after manoeuvring around a little while seized them. As he took them he was seized by the proprietor and marched to the Second street Station. Aiaerman weianey sent mm below. An Unprovoked Attack.

A Riotous Character. Yesterday William Esber appealed at Twenty-fifth and Gtrard avenue. and, judging from his manner, was full of fight.

A city reporter is responsible for the statement that portions of Handel's Twelfth Mass were per formed at a church consecration yesterday. Stiould like to have heard it. It is a work not yet discovered by most musicians. Pottsville ladies, according to late despatches, play euchre in public beer-saloons aud rap on the table for drinks. Bully for them! The womin's righters in that region are getting pretty well advanced. Far enough to make a decent show, any how. The members ol the Citizen's Protective Curb stone Committee, self-appointed for the purpose of overseeing all public aud private works, have now removed to Chesnut street, between Tenth and Ele venth, where they are engaged in superintending the raising of some large timbers on the new theatre. The Virginia Judge in the Ayres trial says that the verdict of the jury was uatoral, but not at all in accordance with the law or evidence. Good judge. But then, come to think of it, what is the use of a jury if they give verdicts according to nature and not according to law or evidence? it is a mere form yon say. We want no new forms in our legal pro ceedings. There are too many already. Quoe admit this principle, and our lives are no more ours. The most scaly-looking newspaper ever seen in The Tkleohaph Offlce was received the other day from an office In the northeastern put of the State. The sheet had been put ou the press in such a crooked and crumpled condition, that the heading and name of the paper were entirely gone, aud the ontside columns on either side were more than half missing. The remaining portion was so blurred and wrinkled that very little could be made of it. It was with the greatest difficulty that tue date could be distinguished, and this was supposed to be Wednes day, September 7. If the newspaper offices In that region allow papers to go out in such a condition, it is u t to be wondered at that the inhabitants are not noted for thttr knowledge.

Imtoktant Information to Real F.tatb Own ers. The Land Office at Harrlsbnrg is now doing a good Bervloe to the owners of real estate, In Insisting that all such shall have their tltl a. Tnereby the State Is benefited aud the property owner la saved costly litigation. There is many a prosperous, thrifty, and honest farmer living to-dny on land which he confidently believes he owns, to which he has the title papers all regularly made out and recorded, but when he comes to trace the record back to the source of all title to land In this State he discovers with dismay that there never was a patent taken out for his farm ; that where It has been patented, tho fees were never fully paid np, so that there are defects ia his title which, If pushed at any time, would possibly deprive him of his homestead, ample notice has been given to parties to come forward and remedy this defect and negligence. A large number of holders of land have already done It. bnt many have thns far treated the matter with indifference, from which they are to be aroused by suits which will be brought by the State, the result of which may be very disastrous, as the costs of course will be very heavy. Let every property holder see that ho has a patent for his land, ami that all fees and costs on such patented land are fully paid. Rectifiers' Returns.

The law and collection oftice of Falrthorne & Rand, at No. 17 South Third street, burned out a short time ago, has now been elegantly refitted and re opened. The new oillce Is at the stand formerly occupied by the firm. The reflttings are in the finest st5le, and the comfort and convenience of customers have been closely studied. This linn Urn heen established for over twenty-five years, and, in fact, they were the pioneers In the business. Their dealings have always given satisfaction to nil parties concerned. The business done embraces the collec tion of notes and drafts and claims of all kinds in the city of Philadelphia and throughout the United States. Affidavits and acknowledgments are taken for all the States. It is recommended that all who have had dealings with the firm should call and see the improvements which have been put upon the olllce' -- Responsibility of Railroad Companies in Cases of Accident. The practice of the courts has heretofore been, when an action lor damages was brought ogainst a railroad company, that the de fendants might claim that they used due diligence and care to avoid accident, and the plaintiff was re quired to prove there was neglect. The company controlling the evidence to a great extenf, it is oftn next to impossible for the complainants to make out their case. The Pennsylvania courts now decide that, the accident itself is evidence of neglect. The company must, If it can. prove tho contrary, whether the accident arises from defects of engines, cars, or railn, or from the act of employes. The adoption of such a rule generally will be likely to lessen the number of accidents by making tho bill for damages much larger. The Noises Attending the Election of Assist ant Engineers.

The Standard, and olher British journals, urge English Intervention in the Franco-Prussian war as a duty and right, the neglect of which will involve dishonor. Attentions to Napoleon. Generals Douay and Lebrun attend the Em peror at Wilhelmshohc. Tho Prussian authori ties surrounded the Emperor during his journey to Wilhelmshope with every exquisite delicacy of care and provision for the dignity and feel ings of the prisoner. Advices from CasBcl say that nothing in the magnificent treatment of Napoleon would de note that he is n prisoner. Be seems rather the honored guest of Prussia.

Aeslstant Secretary of State Davis refuses to give any informatlen relative to the telesrranhic desuatch by cable to the effect that protects had been sent from Washington to Berlin in favor of peace. The understanding is that the Govern ment, through Mr. Bancroft, Minister to Berlin. is. under inductions from Mr. Fish, to feel the Prussian Government as to how oilers of media tion from the United States would be received. It is pretty certain, however, that nothing like a protest "has gone from this Government to Ueriin. FROM NEW YORK. The Mt atn lalaad Fire. New York, Sept. 13.

WoWij urn usee - MILES OF CORPSES. Kravclettft Aft the flattie Acres of Dead and IIiIik-The tiala of Both Armies PIleA In Bloody Davs A "eene el Horror Described by IMurnt llalatead. I'owT-a-MocssoN, Ang. 80. There were, for In stance, fonr cr Ave thoosatid dead men in sight. Here, there, everywhere, the poor fellows had oeen tumbled over. We came npon a Frenchman whose bead had been knocked on" oy a cannon shot. There remained of It two scraps of skin, each as large as yonr hand, and on one was his moustache and the end of bis nose, and on the other a patch of the hair of bis bead. Another bad been struck In the centre of his body and almost cut In two The shoulders and head were left, the hairy knapsack and red cap still clinging to them, and below tho bloody mass Dis coarse biiocb aua wmte gaiters were vts'Uie: his face wai in the dust. Another French soldier had been DISEMBOWBI.KD by a fragment of shell, and the fatal missile had torn open his pantaloons pocket, showing a largo piece oi nam oreaa ana a on oi meat. A tall rrus Blan, dead, was at full length on his back, his helmet half hiding his swollen face the eagle that adorned it with the legend, "For King and Fatherland," and the buckle of his hilt showing in conspicuous letters Uod witn ns." un tne norm side oi tne road wan a slender little French soldier lying on his face, his gun in his hands, lie had been killed as he was making readv to fire, and bad crouched In the col lapse of death like a pttifnl little animal. A trian gular rent tn rue nana oi nis rca cap tout tnat ne had been shot through the head. BDOT THROUGH THE HEAT), At bis side wbb a larger man, through whose naked head a ghaBtly furrow had been plowed, and from It the torn brains Issued. Hs chassepot was clutched in nis still nanus, in tne same ncignoornood was a French colonel, not disQsnred at all by his death wound. I think he had not met his death instantly, but had been struck In the thigh and died from the loss of blood. He had, it seemed, attempted to do something to staunch the flow of blotid, and finding it vain had composed himself for death. A neat conrsE. He was as neat a corpse as ever you saw. Ills ppurs were still on his heels, his kepi on his head, his hands by his side. ii is ciotnes nad been opened alout his briaut by some one In search of valuables, 1 Buppoae, and there were articles scattered about showing tnat he nad lieen careiui in camp tone neat. Among them were a tooth-orosh anil a box of tooth powder. The dust from the Paris road had powdered him. His features were not swollen or distorted, but clear and colorlcsB, and his friends would have recognized him as quickly as in life. BLACK AND SWOLLEN. How it happened that In the same gronps of dead Borne were hideously affected by the sun, black and monstrous, with details of horror in their appear ance mat i must not mention, wnue otners were pale and waxen, every facial outline delicately pre served, l cio not understand. THE HEAD nORSES. Some of the most terrible of the pictures of death were among the fallen horses. There were expres sions oi unutterable tear and sunering in tneir dead faces. The wild eyes, the expanded nostrils, the open lips displaying the full length of the teeth. In some of the faces of these noble animals every hair Bet meet to tell a tale oi terror. Tne attitudes or the horses in death were as various aud fascinating in their interest as those of the men. Oh for an artist to have made a study of them ! Here is a grand bay horse shot through by an unexploded shell, his left snoulder criibhed and a hole in his Hank half as large as the head of a flour barrel. Stricken down with his legs under him and his chin in the dirt, there was in his STARING EYES AND STARTLING GRIM tne suggestion of a horrible shriek. Here was "another, thot t hrough the head and prone on his siue. in nis struggles ne naa torn tne ciover soa with his feet, and tho bloody froth, blown from his nostrils, spoke of the desperate agony of his djlng brtath. A beautiful young mare, in whose satin skin and handsome limbs, and graceful bead, tipped with dainty airs, any horse fancier would have de tected the marks of gentle blood, had clasped her legs, as if they were human arms, against her body. which had been shot through. Many were on their backs, their legs extended. So numerous were they that, glancing over the field, horses' logs could be seen sticking np on all sides, making a display that would bave been grotesque if it had not been mucous. A OBOCP FOR A PHOTOGRAPHER. In the Gravelotte letter I referred to the seven horses and forty men dead in a group. There was a chance for a photographer. If the photographers of Europe had half the enterprise they havo in America, some or tnem would nave been on tne spot, however extreme the trouble of getting there. That slaughtered bean contained soldiers of both armies, and not a rag should have been changed or shifted for the purpose of the artist. It was, in Us dreadful picturesqueness, complete. The open cais son, tne horses at tne wneeis, DEATH-SMITTEN BY THE SAME STROKE, the red breeches of France and the bine coats of Prussia piled together, caps and helmots, knap sacks, sworas ami oayonets, musKets ana satires. theiammers for cleaning cannon, one of them broken, chassenots and needle-guns literally lying acriss each other, tho ground pitted with shells, a dozen marks of them within a square rod, black holes where they had burst, Indentations where they had bounced, deep abrasions wnere tney struck and lay unexploded. I counted thirteen of these In a cluster, and so small was the space, you could bave concealed naif oi tnem under a wagon-cover. HEAPS OF CORPSES. The little town of VIonville was heaped with corpses. The garden walls were overthrown, the houses shivered with shots, and one that bad been bred in the battle still burning. Every house had been a slaughter-house. The Prussians had removed nearly all their dead, but the French corpses were so thick that one could but think the battle had been for them, at this point, a massacre. Extending across the Paris road from VIonville southward was a line on which the French had stood, their faces toward Paris. How many miles of corpses there were here, in a row revealing the ground on which the French had made tneir last stand on tne second day, I do not know, but I certainly saw two miles of tnem. THE AWFUL STRUGGLE. Traces of the ferocious energy with which the French had sought to burl back the overbearing legions of Germany were Btlli to be seen in their dead faces. A few bad the look of meekness and resignation, as if death had not come before visions of peace, but the many had a fixed fierceness quite tiger-like; it was remarKaDie mat tais wua animal aspect was not nouceaoie among tne ianen uer mats. Their attitudes in death seldom expressed intensity of action, while the French, in very many instances, bad evidently received their mortal hurts when every nerve and muscle was strained with the excitement of some furious endeavor. A SHATTERED VILLAGE. Tbe village of Gravelotte was filled with the nstial evidences of strife broken walls, shattered roofs, trampled gardens, wounded nen, bloody straw. A thunder storm came up, and we had the oppor tunity ol contrasting the rattling peals of heaven's artillery with the fresh remembrance of the sound of the guns of the French and Hermans. I must give the celestial artillery credit for superiority in sharpness of reports, but the war guns have pro found ugliness of sound, and a continuity and per sistency much more impressive than occasional ihuudcr claps. THUNDER STORM. The rain fell heavily for a few moments, wet enough to make the first inch of the dust sticky, and to load down leg-weary pedestrians with rapid accu mulations of mud which adhered to the feet like wet snow. The chapel ef the village was a hospital tilled with men too badly wounded for removal. The mangled French and Prussians were huddled to gether on the straw, and the weary surgeons were still at work with them, home, whose wounds were dressed, lay tucked in their blankets wltb an air of comfortableness. The others were suffering in tensely, their glassy stare, clenched teeth and heavy breathing were evidence. . A PAINFUL SCENE. A young Prussian, a tall and gentlemanly soldier, was near the door lying on his face, and a civilian, who seemed to have a special Interest In the case, was, with trembling fingers, removing bis clothing to look at tbe wound. He found on tne white, round body of the yonng man, near the spine, a bright red spot, and looking no further, burst into tears. THE WORK OF BURYINO. ' ' One of our English friends dismounted to give me a rest in riding, which was a most acceptable cour tesy, and we presently passed a field where a large burial party were at work. They had dug a trench about seven feet In width, wasting a very few Inches, and two or three feet In depth (liberal mea surement), and bad gathered the dead from the vicinity. While some were digging others were picking up the dead. The way they do that if, four men nslng sbovl handles or mus kets, as may be convenient, as handspikes, put tbem under the shoulders and knees of the corpse, and carry It to the Bide of the grave; then each corpse Is lifted by two men, one at the head aud the other at the heels, and placed in the trench, where, the face being covered by some arti cle of clothing (cap or coat usually) tbe dirt Is loosely shoveled on. Generally about one hundred men are laid away in this style in a row, though where the carnage has been extraordinary they make the graves 10 accommodate more.

The dock this morning presented a full appear. ance, Indicating the high tide of criminal business. Charles Worrell was convicted of the larceny as bailee of a basket of cantelopes. A policeman tes--tilled that he bought tho fruit aud gave it to tho prisoner to take home for him, and when he went home he could not find It. Meeting tho prisoner. ne HfKcu now it wao, ana was tout t ne basket had been delivered all right. Tho oillcer asked him to point outihe house at which he had left It, ami was shown a place, not his own house, the inmates of which denied ever having received the cante lopes. The prisoner said they were prevaricating, and went along to the station house. wuiiam uoviie, colored, was convicted of the larceny of a dress and several p'eces of bedding from his niece. The parties lived lu the same house, , and one day last month the prisoner went to Jersey and took with him the articles above-mentioned. Upon his return he was taken to task about it, and this case was the result. Julia Brown was found guilty of stealing a door mat from the residence of Mr. Joseph Sallor.on Pine street. William Brown, colored, was convicted of the larceny, as bailee, of a basket of beef tongues. . chickens, and olher marketing given in his charge by James Thomas, to be carried from the Farmers' Market to the latter's house. He never saw the. basket again, but about two months after this he met the prisoner, who, after some prevarication, acknowledged that he bad kept the provisions for bis own use. James Walony was tried upon the charge of assault and battery upon Thomas Osborne. The prosecutor, who Is Janitor of the building No. 1093 S Third st. ; said he was assaulted by a number of young men, who were in the habit or lounging about the build ing, and positively identified Malony as one of the chief offenders. Jacob Mneidir was found guilty of tho larceny of a carriage blanket, apron, and curtain, valued at 131, belonging to Oeorge W. Pluraly, of Cflesnut Hill It was proven that these articles were stolen from Mr. Plumly s house on the nignt of August 23, and the following morning at daylight the prisoner was arrested in the act of selling them.
