Common BrancA. Common Council were called to
order at half-past three, President H. Uuhn In the
chair.
The minutes were read.
Mr. Glenn moved to adopt the minutes as read.
It appearing by the reading that the resignation
of Mr. Joseph S.Allen from the chairmanship of
the Committee on Election Divisions, appended to
the appeal taken by Messrs. Allen and Wagner
from the decision of the President In ruling the re
signation out of order, was not printed In the Jour
nal. General wsgner hoped the motion would not
Jirevail, as the Journal was manifestly Incorrect,
ie took the ground that Council would have to de
cide to-day whether It would admit a wilful misre
presentation of its record or not. He had aftlie 1
his name to an appeal which had been printed In a
mutilated condition In the journal.
The original copy had been carried off; some per
son in Council either mutilated a publio record or
took away private copy. This was not a factious
opposition on his part, lie regarded it a his duty
to see that the record of Council was correct.
Mr. Bnxby stated that be would vote for the
adoption of the journal as read, lie was opposed
to wasting time In the manner of last Thursday.
Mr. W.S.Allen stated that he recollected that
the paper which did not appear on the journal con
tained very disrespectful language to the President
and the committee.
The Chair stated that after the resignation of
Mr. Allen had been ruled out of order, an appeal
was appended thereto and sent to the Chair, who
did not again send It to the clerk's desk.
General Wagner, at length, reviewed the matter.
He regarded it as of great Importance to Investi
gate this matter. He doubted the right of any
President ot th's Council to mutilate public records
or carry oil' private documents.
The motion to adopt the journal as read was then
agreed to, the yeas being 30, the nays 22.
Air. G. W. Nickels o tiered three petitions con
testing the seats of the three members from the
Twenty-sixth ward. m
The petitions set forth that at the late election
Messrs. Wm. Thornton, J. S. Huhn and Robert
Bricgs were not elected, but that Messrs. James
Call an, Henry Latl'erty and Paul Savage were.
The petitions further allege frauds by the election
officers.
Mr. K. K. Nichols moved to lay the petitions on
the table.
The yeas and nays were called yeas 27, nay 29.
So the petitions were not laid on the table.
Mr. wagner moved to proceed w ine drawing ot
a committee.
Mr. K. K. Nichols stated that be believed the
proceedings were Irregular. He did not see that
the certificate, required by rule aud custom, was
appended to the petitions. He was told that the
Court bad recently made a decision to the eflect
that no certificate was received. Councils had not
been notified thereof.
Mr. Logan appealed to the members to be fair.
Mr. Buzby was opposed to the abolition of the
custom requiring affidavits that the petitioners were
legal voters at tne last election.
Mr. walker took the same grounds, and raised
the point of order that the petitions, not being
properly certified to by a Ulty commissioner or
other officer, required by the act of July, 1837, were
illegal ana not property ueiore me liuamuer. .
Tne unair, in deciding, read rue act ot consoli
dation relating to the trial of contested eloctious.
The act of 183!) provides that every petition com
plaining of a false election shall be presented to
the presiding officer or tue brancn or tne iveisia
ture in which the contested seat may exist. The
act makes certain restrictions to a petition; first,
the petition must be presented witnin ten days
after organization; the petition-must be signed by
fifteen qualified voters, five of whom munt make
affidavit. (The act of consolidation, which makes
the same regulations for the Councils of the city of
PDiiadeipnia, cnangea tne numuer or amaavit to
three.) no complaint ot au unuue election snail
be heard except tht qualification as electors of the
petitioners be certified to by the Treasurer, the
Prothonotarv or one of tho Commissioners of the
county. In view of this the Chair decides the point
of order of the gentleman from tne Thirteenth
well taken, and rules the petitions are not properly
before tne linamoer.
Mr. Fagen thereupon appealed from the decision
of the chair. The appeal was drawn up by General
Wagner, signed by himself and Mr. Fagen, aud
sent to the clerk's desk. The anneal sets forth that
the Chamber already acted on the petitions by re
fusing to lay them on the table, which was a rejec
tion of the petitions. It also sets forth that the
second section of the act read refers to contested
seats in the Councils of Philadelphia.
Mr. Glenn moved to lay the appeal on the table,
on which the yeas and nays were called with the
following result yeas 28,nays 2G. So the appeal was
laid on the table, and the petitions fell.
It here appeared that the decision referred to the
petition of John La fl'erty, and that tho same pro
cess had to be gone through with on the other pe
titions. The result in the second case on appeal
was yeas 28, nays 23. The ' Chair then made a
similar decision in the third case. An appeal was
entered, and the Chair was sustained again by a
vote of yeas 28, nays 23.
Mr. Nickels mo?ed that a committee of three be
appointed to take charge of the papers. Mr. Nick
els stated the reason of his motion was that the
paper in the case now pending had been stolen,
which disabled the committee in the case from
acting.
The motion was afterwards withdrawn.
Mr. McAleer, from the Fifth ward, presented a
petition to change the name of certain streets, aud
it was referred to Committee on Survey.

the disappearance of a certain paper. Referred to

of the work furnishing additional water facilities

advantage to somebody. "
The Royal. Horticultural Society of Eos
land has been compelled by the pressure on its
funds to dispose of a part of Us gardens at CliW
wkk, the most valuable portion of its property
in a scientific point of view. Among; the articles

Dwarf and Trained Apples, Filberts, Wellinz-
tonias, Cupreesus, Piccaa, ArucarUs, etc, in all
no less than 12,757 plants, fetching about XoOU.
The portion of the gardens which still remains
covers about 83 acree; and the orchard will be
reorganized on a smaller scale, ' and the trials
and experiments, practical and scientific, will
still be carried ou. The Gardens were origi
nally founded in lt&l.
Future fays: "Some tlmo ago we announced
that Sir .Roderick MurchUoa bad oflered the
munificent sum of 0000 for the endowment of
a Chair of Geology aud 'Mineralogy In the L'nl
versity of Edinburgh, on the understanding
that the annual proceeds of this sum would be
supplemented by a grant from Parliament. We
are nappy to state that Government has con
sented to this proposal, and has agreed to re
commend an annual grant of t'JOO. This desi
rable result dor which the University, we be
lieve, Is largely indebted to the earnest co
operation of its member, Dr. Lyou Playfalr)
will be welcomed as another evidence that our
authorities are not so indifferent as they nave
been supposed to be to the claims of scientific
education."
