THE DAILF EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1870. 3 rrawo auivimAiLY. CUv Affaire. The civil engineers who were arrested at tbe Park in tbe act of surveying tbe route of the National Railroad, had a final hearing before Alderman Alexander, yesterday. The Solicitor of the Park wan present, ami stated that it was the intention of the commission ers to resist the building of the railroad through the gronnda by all legal means, and the persons under arrest were asked what thoir instructions were. They replied that they had been ordered to survey the route, but bad not received any instructions io respect to the park. Defendants declined to give bail and were committed. A short time before the closing of the polls last evening at the precinct house Twelfth and llrinton streets, a disturbance took place, during which Officers Patrick Quinn, of the Fifth district, and Eastburn, of the Fourteenth district, were shot. It ap pears that a crowd of roughs visited the voting place, and, evidently bent upon mis chief, extinguished the public lights in the neighborhood. Considerable confusion was caused in consequence, and while the police were moving towards tbo offenders, a dis charge of A pistol was heard, followed by several shots in rapid succession. Two of these discbarges caused the wounds referred to. Policeman Quinn was shot in the arm, and the injury was not serious, lie was ad mitted into the hospital. Eastbarn was wounded in the groin, but not dangerously. He was taken to his home in Gertnantown. A yocng man who gave the name of Smith was arrested, supposed to have been one of the rioters, and Alderman Collins committed him for a further hearing. THE CHAMBKH OF CUJMIERCE. Jim Opealag Lnit livening A Grand Aflnir. The opening last evening of the new Cham ber of Commerce was of the most gorgeous description. The interior was neatly arrayed and presented a handsome appearance. The first floor was devoted to the purposes of a restaurant, and was fitted up in style under the management of Mr. 11. L. Ryan. The second floor was used as dressing-rooms for tbe guests. The main hallin the third floor was devoted to dancing. At about a quarter of 8 o'clock the guests began to arrive in large numbers, and from that hour until half past 9 o'clock a continual Btreain of beautifully-dressed ladies with their attendants kept pouring into the building. At half-past 8 o'clock Trofesswr B. K. AlcClurg's Brass Bund struck up a lively air, and tbe music was continued at intervals until the grand opening march, which occurred at 1) o'clock. The dreHses of the ladies were very fine, and for beauty and taste have not been excelled by any public or private entertainment given in this city the present season. Everything had been ar ranged in the most perfect order, and scores of well-trained servants were in attendance, who administered to the wants of those assembled. Shortly after 1 o'clock the danc ing began with music by Ilassler's orchestra, and continued with slight intermission until an early hour this morning. Every one pre sent appeared to enjoy bimself, the affair proving an entire success, and one which re dounds greatly to the credit of those instru mental in its getting up. About 12 o'clook a grand banquet was furnished in the lower hall, which was spread in excellent style. Full justice was done to it by all, the exercise of the dance giving them keen appetites. A large number of our prominent citizens were present during the evening. The affair was one of the most select and brilliant which has ever been witnessed in this city. The gas-fixtures, manufactured by Corne lius & Sons, attracted considerable atten tion; and well they might, for there are no finer ones in any building in this city. They are perfectly magnificent, and last evening were the occasion of much comment. They are so located that the conjoined light is de cidedly uniform, and its effect npon the eyes is very pleasant. These fixtures reflect great credit upon the skill and taste of the Messrs. Cornelius & Sons. THE GERMAN FAIK. Opening Ceremonies Last Evening. The German Sanitary Fair was opened at Horticultural Hall last evening under the most favorable auspices. It is to continue open until Monday week. All yesterday the different sub-committees were busy in receiving and arranging the goods, and numbers of men were 'kept busy in carrying out their orders. When tbe doors were opened large numbers of people poured into the hall, and by U o'clock the floor and baloonies wire filled. The ladies of the fair were darting hither and thither, their brilliant badges attracting universal attention. About i) o'clock the Sand, under Ilerr Oberkirscb, struck up a German air, and the formal opening ceremonies then began by a military march by the band. The Young Mitnnerchor singing society then sang "Toe German Fatherland," after which Mr. Charles Vezin, Consul of the North German Confede ration, made the opening address. lie was followed by the President of the Fair Associa tion, Dr. A. Fellgcr, who also delivered an ' address, as did also Dr. E. Morwitz. The song "During the Watch," was now sung by tbe Young Ma nnerohor Society, after which Dr. A. Ktllner delivered a German address. Tbe song, "Watch on the llhine," was now sung, when his Honor Mayor Fox made a short address. The hall is most beautifully decorated with evergreens throughout. The different tables are arran ged around the sides of the hall, while in the centre of the room is a large fountain: on either side of it are tables of fancy goods, toys, and notions of various kiads, each table being covered with a beautiful bower of ever greens. The balcony is faoed with flags, ribbons, and evergreens, and at intervals are hung the various colored flags of the different German singing societies of this city, who generously loaned them for the occasion. Vmmalio Affairs. The Georgia elections took place yester day. The cold weather is reported to be in tense on the Pacific coast. The Cincinnati Gas Company have or dereda scientific investigation into the causes wbieh led to the explosion of their gasometer on Monday. The articles impeaching Governor Holden were formally submitted yesterday to the bar of the Senate of the North Carotin Legisla ture, and tne executive made no opposition to tbe surrendering of bis office. In the United States Senate yesterday, after the close of onr report, the San Do mingo resolution was considered. After some discoasion, Mr. Morton desiring to have his resolution considered, and Mr. Sumner urging hia own resolution upon the subject, the Morton resolation was taken up by a vote of .'10 to 17. Pending discussion of the matter, the Senate adjourned. in tbe House the Amnesty bill was dia- t'uesed. Mr. Butler moved tbe previous question on tbe amendments, which was seconded yeas, fl; nays, 84. Without coming to a vote, however, the House ad journed. THE CREDIT MOBILIER, ' The Onkr A mm ('rnec OpUUn mt Jndge rearaon Objection ! the Haling. IlAnitisncRo, Deo. 20. The Credit Mobi lier case ocenpied Judge Pearson all day, and will take op several more days. Hon. John B. Alley, ex-Congressman from Massachu setts, took nearly alL the time of the court. The principal points of his testimony were that Oakes Ames took the Pacific Railway contract entirely on condition to dispose of it as be pleased. The parties in interest who were to receive the profits had been associated with Mr. Ames from the beginning, under the Hoxie contract, and tbey were all owners in the Union Pacifio Railway Company almost in exact proportion as they owned stock in the Credit Mobilier. By the mode of division under the assignment of the contract, which was in proportion to the stock held by the parties, they were made personally liable with Mr. Ames, which was his desire, they stand ing between him and danger. Tbe Credit Mobilier was not direotly or in directly interested in the contract of August lfi, 18G7, nor was it interested directly or in directly under the agreement or assignment of October 15, 1807, further than appears on the face of the paper. In the dispute of counsel for the Common wealth, whether not these points should be admitted as evidence for tbe jury, Jalge Pearson said that he had formerly, in this case, held that money given to the stock holders of a corporation was in effect and law given to tbe corporation itself ; but the Su preme Court, in reversing the lower court, bad now drawn a distinction between the stockholders and the corporation, asserting tbat this contract or assignment did not give themoney to the corporation, but to the stock holders individually, so that it was con sistently now competent for tbe defense to show whether or not other parties were inter ested in the matter, and that the division of profits in proportion to the stock held in the Credit Mobilier was only for convenience and equitable transfer of interests. Mr. Hall, for the Commonwealth, took ex ception to this ruling. The witness tben proceeded in his line of evidence. The rea son Oakes Ames assigned the contract on the loth of October to trustees was, that when he made tbe contract with the Union Pacifio Railroad Company it was the understanding tbat he had an absolute individual right legally to dispose of that contract just as he should chooBe; yet it was felt by the parties in interest, who were really old associates, in the execution of the Hoxie contract, that there were equitable rights in consideration by which those parties were to have in some form and in some proportion an interest in this new contract. xuiiorziAii ArrAins.

Arrest of a ftlajer-Ueneral for Pefrnndlna; I he Iteveoue Important Development Korihrouiir a;. The Pittsburg Commercial of yesterday says: Some time ago James J. Brooks, united States He Vdiue Detective (who was shot and almost killed in Philadelphia while attempting to make a seizure), while worting up a case In New York, discovered a shipment of fraudulent tobacco through General John Ramsey, whose factory and store were at the crner of Montgomery ami Green streets, Jersey City. Among the rest were thirty-seven barrels shinned to parties In the Western District of Pennsylvania, principally in Luzerne county. These barrels contained counterfeit stamps and stamps which had been osed before. An indictment as found against Ramsey at Wllilamsport, In Sep tember laM, and a process was Issued for his arrest. He was taken Into custody ami brought to this city. As be presented a very genteel appearance, had been a major-general of volunteers, and served witti distinction all through the war, having been wounded in the battle of Gettysburg, and as he was kRown to u Hilary efti- era here as good soldier, he was reieastd ,rj condition that In ten days he would seim a recognizance, with ball for hts appearaoce ac the Octobtr term of Court. The time expired, and the rec gmzance was not sent. DIM riot Attorney Swoope then issued a bench warrant for his arrest, and sent it to otllcer Harry Clark, formerly Chief ot Police andnr Mayor Conrad, f I hllbdelphla. The officer found the Jener.il ut Jrs city, and arrived with htm here on Stturdiy. Fitollrg himself nialile to get hail here, he tele graphed to various friends In diffv-reut pirn of tbo ccuntry, but without eliciting an answer. He wa then committed to jail, and as the piUon d-jors cl sed upon hltn he wept like a child. Hartley is ssld to be on II oirender. He startel his broth r, William HaiiiBey, In business as a to bacco manufacturer, at Key port, New Jersey, two yenrs ago, and a sloop load of tobacco, fresh from his faoory, was seized by the Government, with fraudulent stamps on the packages Whe.n the General was first arretted, he had some Intimation of the visit of the officers, and prepared himself bv destroying his books. In his wasto basket was Ititind the debriH of books containing entries of bnsi l.8 transactions extending into August, 1870. Spe cimens of t,h dehria are In Mr. Scope's possession. W hen am ated this week, he was seen secreting a box ui'der some goods. whl"h, on examination, proved to he a cigar nox literally Oiled with stamps tilt h had been used and removed from toba 'co pHt-lUgl'H. Tbo establishment in New York, from which the frandnlent tobacco came thronirh R imscy into this district, was seized bv the Government and has l en appraised at SiOO.ono.

The strike tnus far does not extend beoud tbe brakemen employed ou tbe freight trai&s, no attempt having heen mtde to rtnuce the wages of the biakeinen employed ou the passenger trains, but several buudred of tie former are standing out aud refuse to resume work until the old ratea (i a day) are restored, alleging aa a reason that it is si-upy a naiter of impossttiiitty for them to sustain life at the reduced rate of compensation. On Saturday nlgbt tbe striker carried away from Horueusvllie tbe couplli g pins, and hundreds of freight cars were blocked up ou the trank. it is aaid that many of the cattle on the stock trains, that bad been detained for twentj-iour hours or more, were dyinir.
