lug th e
submitted an ordinance repeal..
ing the ordinance providing for paying
damages for taking the ground at Landing
avenue for public purpose
Mr. King faYored the ordinance, because,
if nceessary, he could produce facts to show
-• how improper the former action of the
chamber was, in view of what had since
occurred. The jury . to assess damages had
run up the amount to $486,000. The tax
payers would,be astounded when they were
made acquainted with the facts. At con
siderable labor he had carefully examined
the property, and had compared the previ
ous assessments on the Assessor's btoks
with the award of dSmages. This exhibit

Mr. Gray urged thiit` the ilide :- thit' r there
had been 'a particulieribt diniaNs did
not establish that tgAiiii.!--T-igtmust be paid.
He was opposed to.,reppah_ng ,the ; original
ordinance, and thtuiprev,enting:theacturchase
of the ground for thii, t park.,..The award;
however, could be set ! _aside. „TEA-moved to
refer to the COmmitteapinLaw.
Mr. Van Cleve thought he thanks of the
citizens of Philiadelphiaywere due to Mr.
King for his industry.fn ferreting out these
facts, but the originalerdinance should not
be repealed when Councils.could reach the
object in view by having the award of dam
aces set aside. If the subject came before
the Committee on Law, he would guarantee
a prompt and searching investigation.
Mr. Spering said it was not right that Mr.
King's statement should go before the pub
lic without some explanation. He had no
doubt.that the awards were excessive, but
in some caseeit might be that the seeming
excess might be due to the loose way we
have of assessing, property in Philadelphia.
It frequently occurred that valuable pro
perty had been assessed at a very low figure.
The award in this case was known to the
City Solicitor, and he had, determined to go
before the Court and object to the confirma
tion of the award.
Mr. King's ordinance was referred to the
Committee on Law.
Mr. King next introduced a resolution
directing the citySblicitor to take early and
prompt measures to prevent a confirmation
of the above award. Agreed to.
Mr. Gray (II.) offered a resolution re
questing the General Assembly to enact a
law for the permanent improvement of
Broad street.
The bill provides that Michael Bouvier,
Henry .Diston, Mathew. W. Baldwin and
T. B. Peterson, be declared a body politic
and corporate, by the name and title of
"The Citizens' Association for the improve
ment of Broad street, in.the city of Phila
delphia."
They;are empowered to 'adopt and carry
into effect such plans as they may deem ex
pedient for keeping Broad street free from
railway tracks and other obstructions
- which shall interfere with, or Mar, in, the
judgment of said corporation, the character
and beauty of said street as the -principal
avenue or drive of said citv,and for improv
ing, adorning and beautifying said street,
provided that all plans adopted by said hDr
poration be submitted to and 'approved by
councils.
The corporation is empowered to remove
all railroad or railway tracks - except -such.
as no* or hereafter may: cross said Bpad
street at the intersection, of streets running'
east or west,' and except the track of: the
Philadelphia, Germantown' and:Norristown
Railroad (lompany, and to 'cause such street
or Solniieli and such portions thereof, from
time to time; to be paved, rePaved and ma

Urn ebe placed by said corporation onaaid
street. • • • ,;
That for and in consideration of the fin-.
provements to be made byeald corporation
in and upon said street,: and the labor, care !
and expense to be laid out and expended by
said corporation in and about the imProv
lug, adorning and beautifying the same,and
in order that said corporation may be better
enabled to carry out the purposes of ; this
act, the right of eminent domain of; the
Commonwealth in and upon and over, said'
street, is hereby granted and surrendered to
said corporation.
The President—Broadstreet had better be
created into a distinct municipality. •
Mr. Gray said some of the most estimable
gentlemen in the city were desirous to im
prove Broad street, and make it what it
should'-be, the 'handsomest street in the
world. There was no railroad job in it, and
the expenses wuld be borne by the gentle
men named in o the bill. A bill similar to
this one would be passed by the Legislature
and as Councils had complained of the
passage of bills without knowing !their
contents before, he had submitted this one,
and asked that it be printed.
Several members • exclaimed, "That's a
biglhing."
The subject was referred to the Committee
on Law.
Mr. Gray explained that the objeet was
to beautify Broad street. The gentlemen
who are the incorporators are among our
most respectable citizens, who desire to im
prove the street at their own expense.
Referred to the Committee on Law.
The annual report of the Trustees:of the
Philadelphia Gas Works was received and
ordered to be printed.
John Manuel and Wm. Elliott were
elected Trustees 'of the Philadelphia Gas

town Railroad was concurred in.
The resolution suspending the Fairmount
and Good-Will-Engine Companies was con
curred in. Adjourned.
COMMON BRANCH.
A communication was presented from
Mr. H. Bickley, proposing to enter into a
contract with the city for a period of five
years for the cleansing allthe paved streets,
removal of ashes, &c., at the rate 4495,000
per annum.
Mr: Palmer submitted a resolution autho
rizing the Chief Commissioner of High
ways to enter into a contract with Mr.
Bickley, in accordance with his proposition.
After a few remarks, the resolution was
referred to the Joint Special Committee on
Street Cleaning.
Mr. Stokes submitted an ordinance autho
rizing the West Philadelphia Base Ball and
Skating Club to erect wooden buildings at
Forty-first street, north of Lancaster.
James M. Cowell and Wm. R. Leeds were
elected Trustees of the Philadelphia Gas
Works.
The ordinance making an appropriation
of $887,811 97 to the Board of Controllers of
Public Schools for 1866, was taken up.
Mr. Dillon moved to strike Out, all the
items referring to the Boys' and Girls' High
Schools. Not agreed to. Yeas 15, nays 20.
Mr. Simpson moved to strike out the am
propriations to the Boys' High SchooL
Mr. S., in making the motion, said that
he believed that a majority of the citizens
were in favor of abolishing the school. We
tax the people to give them an equal system
of education, bnt only about four per cent.
of the pupils can be educated in the High
School. Of those educated- there, [seventy
per cent. were drones upon the community.
He was in favor of encouraging the Gram
mar Schools, by raising the standard of
education.
Mr. Willits believed the institution had
done a great amount of good. Many of the
young men educated at the High School
had become distinguished in many walks of
life. Many years ago we had to obtain
teachers from other States, but now our
High Schools giVe us teachers that do a
credit to the city.
Mr. Creswell - desired Mr. Willits to name
the location of any of these teachers.
Mr. Willits replied, that be came from one
of the outside wards, and was not very well
acquainted with the teachers, but be could
name at least a dozen that would not have
been teachers but for the High school. He
thought it would be a serious thing to with
draw all support from the High School so
Suddenly.
Mr. Creswell said the High School costs a
great deal more than it should for the bone
'tit derived from it. He was in favor of
raising the ' standard of education in the
Grammar Schools, and abolishing the High
School.
Mr. Hancock believed that we should
compel every child to attend school until
a certain age. He thought the $27,000 asked
for the High School, would be of more ser
vice if appropriated to educate those who
now never go ' , to school. The city should
give a fair English education and nothing
else.
Mr. Taylor said boys had been 'admitted
to the school, and we are bound to make an
appropriation to educate them.
Mr. Franciscus opposed the motion to
strike out. He believed the High' School to
be an excellent institution and deServing of
the support of Councils. He had graduates
of that school in his employ, and he desired
no better men.
Mr. Billington was in favor of education,
but he doubted the propriety of maintaining
a college out of the money of the taxpayers.
A good English education is all that can be
expected from the public schools.'
Mr. Dillon said that the education in the
public schools was becoming so superior to
that obtained in the private schools, that the
rich were monopolizing the schools and'
keeping out the poor.
Mr. Hetzell said the High School only
gave the boys a smattering of learning,
while it failed in giving them an education
of a practical character. He was in favor of
abolishing the High School, because the
grammar schools would then be fostered,
and the system of cramming a few pupils
to get , them in the High School, done away
with. 1
Mr. Evans opposed the amendment;and
during his remarks read from the report of
the. Controllers of the Public ! Schools to
show that the graduates of the High Schopl
were not drones; but were;fillinghigh and re
sponsible positions in the 'various pursuits
of life.
The motion to strike out the! appropria
tion to the High School was loat--yeas 17,
nays 25.
Mr. Harrison - moved to amend the bill ,
by adding 25 per cent. to the salaries of the
teachers. Not agreed to—yeas 12, nays 27.

The Massachusetts Anti•Siavery Society.
Bogrow, Jan. 25.—The thirty-fifth annual
meeting of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery
Society was held to-day, Edmund Quincy
presiding. Among the resolutions offered
was one to dissolve the society, which gave
rise to a long discussion,- in wtuch William
Lloyd Garrison presented an exposition of
his views, saying that the nation - had de
creed, by its organic low, the utter extinc
tion of slavery. The public sentiment was
connected with and confirmed in its devo
tion to freedom, and the foot of war had
added its crushing tread to the extinction of
slavery. The word "anti-slavery" was no
longer distinctive, for to-day the country
was all anti-slavery.
The old reproach was taken away, and
the uncompromising demand for freedom
to the oppressed was no longer needed. The
men and women of this society are fanatics.
incendiaries or infidels no longer. They
had not gone down to the millions, but the
millions had come up to them. Henoe
forth the members of the society were to
enter on a new work; not anti-slavery work,
but the work of securing the education,
elevation and political rights of property
and the franchise to the nem . ° man, and in
this we would besupporteci by and act with
the masses of the American people.
Wendell Phillips and others opposed the
proposition to dissolve, and on a vote the
resolution was defeated.
The following new officers of the society
were elected: President, John T. Sar
geant; Vice President, Miss M. T. Sever
ance; Corresponding Secretary, Charles K.
Whipple.
