CITY COUNCILS.- - A stated meeting. was held yesterday afternoon. , - , s±:ECT t:-Th6 annexed- cbaimunicatiori- was re ceived from Mayor McMichael. - To the Members of Select rend common COW/Iea—GENTLEMEN—I have the pleasure to transmit herewith a communication from Prof. R. Dunglinson in reference to a bust of the - late - P. - S. Duponceart, - which his grand-daughter, Miss. Garracbte, desires to present to the city. As Mr. Dnponceau served with distinc tion in the Revolutionary artily, and was for many years one of the most eminent and esteemed citizens of Philadelphia, I ath -sure that the gift will be received and ap preciated. Very respectfully, MORTON AloNlicniEL, Mayor of the City of Philadelphia. Mr. Spering made a motion that the bust be received and that the thanks of the Councils ,of the city, be returned to the donor. _ This was passed unanimously. Mr. Hodgdon presented a petition, very numerously signed by prominent mer chants, asking for the passage of an ordi nance regulating the payment of city war rants upon some equitable and righteous basis. The petition suggests that all war rants not otherwise provided for shall be paid in the order of the date of their pre sentation for payment at the City Treasury, n record of such presentation being made , there for the purpose. That the City Treasu rer shall publish from time to time the num beis or other necessary descriptions of such warrants as he is prepared to pay, and that no warrants shall be paid without such public notice. This, after some debate, was referred to. - the Committee on Finance. A. communication was received from Jas. Elliott, asking a contract to clean the streets -of the city for•the sum of $95,000 per annum. Referred to the Committee on Street Clean ing. Mr. Charles Thompson Jones submitted a -communication from the Philadelphia and Gray's Ferry Passenger Railroad Company, relative to the desired extension by that company of their road over Gray's Ferry 'bridge. Referred. A Communication from the Board of In spectors of the County Prison was presented by Mr. Smith. It asked for an increase in the number of inspectors, and ror several important alterations in the arrangements of the prison: Referred. An ordinance Was introduced I.y Mr. S pe ring, Chairman of the Committee on City Property, appropriating the sum of $7ll to pay claims against the Commissioners of City Property. Among the items in this deficiency bill is one for feeding the deer in the public squares. A long debate ensued, but the ordinance - was ultimately passed by a vote of 12 to 8. Mr. Bumm offered a resolution providing that as the deer in the parks are to the city a very considerable expense for damage done to citizens, as well as for cost of keep ing, they should be sold to the best advan-- tage by the Commissioners of City Pro e p rty. A motion to lay upon the table was lost by a vote of 16 to 6. The subject was then referred to the Corn znittee on City Property. Mr. Gray now presented the annual re- Tort of the Chief Engineer of the Water 'Works. Referred. Mr. Wagner, from the Committee on Law, to which was referred the ordinance repeal ing the ordinance appropriating ground at Fairmount Park, reported against the pas sage of the ordinance. The Committee state that after the ordinance of 1864, the city gave notice to the owners that no com pensation for improvements upon the prop erty would be allowed, and "the repeal of the ordinance at this time would not in the least affect the rights of the owners to com pensation for their land, or the liability of the city to pay therefor. And the fact that the city has not taken actual poisession does not affect her liability to pay for the land. This principle is well established in nume rous adjudicated cases, both in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania and in the United States Courts." The Committee further state that the land is absolutely re quired. It must be owned by the city. Will it ever be less valuable than it was when the ordinance was passed? Will it not, on the other hand, be constantly grow ing in value? It is true, the awards, in the opinion of your Committee, have been in many instances excessive, but these will doubtless be set-aside by the Court, and the city.- will have justice done her by another jury. But it would be most unwise to repeal the ordinance, for that would un doubtedly release those whose lands are valued at a - proper rate, and not release the city from her liability to pay those awards which are excessive. Another sug gestion made by the Committee is, that the repeal of the ordinance might be a bar to the city ever taking the ground hereafter. The city has exercised her right under the law to take this ground, and her power in the premises may be exhausted. , The bill was taken up by the chamber. A lengthy debate ensued between Messrs. Ring, Van Cleve, Gray, Freeman and Page. Mr. Hopkins called for the City Solicitor's opinion. This was read. In it Mr. Brewster says: "The repeal of the ordinance referred to will not, in my opinion, render the city lia ble to prosecution and damages. She may be liable,by reason of the ordinance of June 28, 1864, and the action thereon for any damages which could be established against her as occasioned by her past proceedings, but the repeal of the ordinance would not create loss to any property owner." A vote was then taken on the bill, repeal ing the original ordinance, and it was lost by the following vote: Yv7A.4---Messrs. Bumm, Campbell, Hodg -don, Hopkins,Jones, King, Marcus, Omerly, -Shallcross and Shermer-10. NAYS—Messrs. Barlow, Cattel„ Freeman, -Gray, Kamerly, Manuel, Page, Ritchie, -Shern, Smith, tapering, Van Cleve, Wagner and Lynd-14. The resolution dispensing with the meet ing of Thursday next was concurred in. Adjourned. COMMON BRANCH. A communication was received from the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad Company to the effect that • Thomas B. Beck, one of the city directors of the Company recently elected, owns , no stock on the road. Mr. Mercer offered a resolution that the usual meeting of Councils next week be postponed until Friday, to allow the mem bers to propnly observe Washington's birthday. Agreed to. Mr. Manor called up the ordinance to appropriate $103,903 28 to the Department -of City Property kit 1866. The 'bill was debated for two hours and ..amended in several items. Two new items were added, an appropriation of eB5O to the Tobacco Warehouse, and $l,OOO for remov ing ,ice tend snow. The repairs to the parade ground were decided to .warrant only an appropriation of $5OO instead of $l,OOO, as reported. The item for salaries- at public squares was increased to $B,OOO, and that for manuring and sodding from $l,OOO to 41,200. The bill as passed added up $109,- - 953 28. The railroad tax bill of Mr. Nickels was then called up. A motion to lay it on the table was lost. A diffusive debate sprang up. , The question was indefinitely postponed. Yeas 22, nays 15. . YES-Messrs, Calhoun, Creswell, Eager, Evans. Fox, Hallowell, Harper, Harrison, Hill, Krupp, Little, liactsague, Miller, Mullen; Oram, Palmer, -Stanton, Stoekharn, Vankirk, Willtts, Wol bert. - NAys—Messrs. Allen, Allison, Bardsley, Billington, Earnest, Franeisons, Hancock, Hetzell Rater,- •-Marcer, Nickels, --Ray,- Schafer, Shane, Stokley., - • Mr. Harper moved that the Chamber Con siderthe-bill making the appropriation to the Street Cleaning Department. Agreed to. Mr. BillingtOn moved that the subject be indefinitely, posponed. Mr. Harper dissented. He said that the appropriation must' lee made. The streets are filled with garbage. They have not been cleaned for six weeks, and the time has come when the streets must be carefully cleaned and the garbage removed, or the approach ing spring will spread disease far and wide through the city. The Street Cleaning De partment had never been fully tested. Mr. Franciscus advocated the postpone ment. He said the bill was presented by the Finance Committee, with the distinct understanding that the appropriation would not be pressed. The condition that the bill would not be pressed until Councils know what the Street Cleaning Department is to be, alone induced the Committee to sign acid report the appropriation. Mr. Miller moved to postpone the con sideraation of the appropriation, and to take up the report of the Special Committee on Cleaning. Agreed to. Mr. Mercer moved to suspend the rule re quiring the Chamber to adjourn at 7 o'clock. Lost. The report of the Committee was then read. It provided for the contract with Henry Bickley to cleanse the streets for $95,000, payable monthly after the work is performed; he to give ample security, and one half of the money to be retained by the Committee of Street Cleaning, to be applied to streets neglected by the contractor The terms of the contract require the pri•ncipal streets to be cleaned twice a week, at night; the lesser streets, alleys, lanes, Ike., once a week, and ashes to ne removed. The power to annul the contract lies with the Mayor, who is to make the contract, which is for five years, and the whole work is to be su perintended by the Committee of Street Cleaning. Mr. Simpson said that the bill would be inoperative. The amount is too small to clean the streets. The whole contract sys tem is a failure. The only way to properly clean the city is to give the work to the Su pervisors. He moved to indefinitely pos;- pone. Mr. Willits coincided. He too thought the amount too small to accomplish the work. Mr. Evans moved to postpone one week and print the bill. The motion to postpone fell—yeas 19, nays 19. kr. Evans moved to postpone for two weeks. Mr. Dilion said ,that it was a guerilla fight and would be kept up until 7 o'clock. He hoped the members would vote down the motion, and pass the bill the people of the city desire-to see passed. Mr. Evans said he was in favor of the bill but he would not vote to appropriate $95,000 of the city's money without an op portunity to consider it. Mr. Martin moved to adjourn. Agreed to. Adjourned. Sir. Garrison on "Liberty Victorious." Concert Hall was well filled last evening with an audience of ladies and gentlemen, many of whom were colored, assembled to hear the great anti-slavery champion, Wm. Lloyd Garrison, delivered a lecture before the Social, Civil and Statistical Association of colored persons. His subject for the occa sion was "Liberty Victorious." The exer cises were opened by the singing of an air by Miss E. T. Greenfield (Black Swan). Upon being introduced, the speaker was greeted with great applause. He said that all things in reference to the subject of his lecture, "Liberty Victorious," were now clear to his mind; the great light that was throwing its shadow noon it rendered it so. He was no enthusiast, but, nevertheless, he felt justified in saying what he had, for it was his belief that all things were working well. But yesterday millions of our people who were classed with cattle and animals, are now recognized as our fellow citizens. is not this progression? , He advised those who Wore finding fault to be patient; that the time is fast coming when our land shall be the land of liberty, as our forefathers intended it to be. What is to be accomplished in refusing to be com forted by what has been gained? Nothing whatever. Where now is slave-holding Goliah ? Nowhere! "Sic Senzper Tyrannis." He thought there was a class in the South who were doing their utmost to make the freedmen uncomfortable and unhappy, but they cannot much longer carry on their doings of wrong. It is merely a dislike they have in giving up a power which they have exercised so long. The South victorious! If such be the case, all our toils, trials and aspirations have been in vain. Right, then, has no chance ith wrong. Slavery has triumphed and liberty has been defeated. No, such was not the case; and a statement so depressing, so at variance with the truth, should never have been made. There was a time when the South was victorious; it was from the time of the formation of the Constitution until the commencement of the Nebraska ,•on - flict. Her shouts of triumph have re peatedly gone up from the Houses of Con gress, from the press and the pulpit; but only to give rise to threats to every pro gressii-e Abolitionist. That day has passed; such shouts and threats would never be tolerated again. The total extinction of her pet, slavery, plainly shows that she was.not triumphant as one would have believed. But to admit that she really did accomplish something, let us examine and see what it was. She succeeded in conflagrating Pennsylvania Hall; the murder of Hon. 0 wen. Lovejoy; in the beating of the Hon.Chas.Sumner in the Senate Chamber of the 'United States; in killing martyred John Brown upon a gal lows, in sight of the chivalry of Virginia. These are samples of her multitude of successes. And what have they ultimately led to? History. ells the tale. The theory of our martyred President has been carried out. No words more truthful than his were ever spoken when he said this country can not exist half slave and half free. The South, unable to protect herself against the gradual encroachment of public sentiment against her principles, at last determined to try her fate upon the field of battle. The speaker here quoted sentiments of flit, leading men of the South, together with extracts from some of their leading jour nalS, before and during the war, showing the immense amount of bombast ,used by them until the final close of the rebellion. How have they succeeded? Has the South ern army its headquarters on the Hudson, as they claimed it would? Has the Govern ment of the 'Union been crushed? No! but the South has been vanquished in ergo:- went, on the field of battle, and upon the sea, and to-day, is left as weak as a new born babe, and the •North has come out of the contest reinvigorated and strong as Hercules,- , with a record clear and pure. The resolutions adopted by Congress al lowing the „people, regardless of color, the right of franchise; the right of riding in the railtvay care; providing for the education of white and colored children alike' in the .District of Columbia, certainly showed that liberty bad been victorious. The time for the discussion of the anti slavery question is now at an end. The work now to be done is for the benefit of the freedman; and the speaker said it would be his aim in the future to confine himself to this 'object alone. A SUGGESTION . ABOUT WALL , PAPER.— In wow of the prevalence of typhoid. fever in many of the large cities. and the dreaded approac.h of cholera, the Rochester Union ,sugg ests that bad air is engendered by leav ing old paper on the walls of dwelling.s, and acivNes all to overhaul their papered walls • thoroughly before Spring. • THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN 11 , 111LADELPHIA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1866. • , Raleigh,- -North Carollna-abe Deat.and Dumb Asylum, ire. A letterfrom North Carolina to the Bos. ton Poe says We reached Raleigh at 8 P. M., and out of the line of snow. This town, the capital of the State, contains about five thousandin habitants. It is well laid out, well orna mented with trees, streets of good width, end some very neat and attractive private residences and °Lurches. In the centre of the town stands the Capitol; at the opposite end of the main street is the Governor's re sidence. In front of the State House is a ' splendid bronze statue of Washington, and the grounds about it are quite ornamental, well shaded with trees, and an iron few., surrounds the enclosure. A liberal invest ment in white paint or even whitewash,lon many of the buildings and fences, as well as good sanitary laws enforced, would add materially to the beauty of the place. Lo eitted here is the State Lunatic Asylum, on a rise of ground overlooking the town, and a low squares from the Capitol is the Desks Dumb and Blind Asylum. TLe very cordial attentions shoWn me by the Sup4rintendent of both these in stitutions demand a notice, arid I regret an abler pen is not favored with the duty. Dr. 1 7Viliie J. Palmer is the Principal of the Asylum for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind. The building is in architectural beauty and convenience one of the best in the country, and neat and appropriately furnished. The present year there are eighty-four pupils, who all appear to be perfectly happy and making great progress in their studies. We were favored with an exhibition of the abili ties of several. Miss Narcissa J. Dupree,e charming young lady of nineteen, wno lost her sight from sickness when but four years old, is one of the most superb pianists, and with vocal powers that would do credit in any opera. She is now one of the teach ers in the Institute. Jasper A. Jamison, is a deaf mute, and his faculty for telling anecdotes in pantomime is trnly remarkable, it is wonderful to note with what rapidity information can be commu nicated in the sign language; and while sympathy :for the unfortunate naturally finds utterance, yet it is a source of gratifi cation to know they have a reliable means of intercourse. The penmanship of the mutes, which we examined, was excellent, while the reading by the blind was almost marvelous. From here we drove over with Dr. Palmer to the Insane Asylum, where we were met by Dr. Ed. C. Tislin, who es corted us through the entire building. This is one of the largest buildings of the kind in the United States—with all the modern wprovements of heating and ventilation by -team and lighted with gas. The va rious wards are admirably arranged and kept perfectly neat in every respect. There were numerous sad features here to conceal te, and the history given us by the Doctor ~ f some of the patients .was heart-rending. In the female department was one lady who lost two children during the war, and not hearing from her husband for some time, her mind was shattered. She played on the piano for us with great precision. She was suite a belle at one time, and dresses now with great taste. My limited space will not permit me to go further in detail. On the erounds and in the vicinity, General Sher man's army of 120.000 encamped, and from appearances, I fancy they made liberal use of fences, etc., for firewood; otherwise they are spoken of in most favorable terms. Arago and the Herdsman. "Spiridion's" last Paris letter has the fol lowing: A few nights since Mons. Arago, the bril liant play writer and nephew of the eta.le bratea scientific man, was returning from the theatre when he heard frightful moan mg. Although he had only an umbrella in his band, he went in the direction whence ,he sounds came. The next minute he wand himself in the presence Of a man with a broken cart and a dozen calves stalking and moaning all around him. The herdsman said to him in an imploring tone, "The axle of my cart has broken, my calves have all run away, and uobody seems to be about the streets at this hour. Will you be so good as to aia me to collect my calves?" Mons. Arago replied: "Willingly." After .living the calves chase for au hour they were all collected together in a sort of pen tlrrned on one side by a coach door way and on the other by Mons. Arago holding in ose hand his umbrella and in the other the herdsman's whip. The herdsman then ,aid: "My kind-hearted gentleman, will you be so good as to keep the calves while I go for a rope to mend my cart? I shall not ce gone more than. ten minutes." Mons. Arago looked at his watch. It was now two •)'clock at night. He sighed, and replied : "Yes, but be quick about it." The clock 01 St. Ruch's church struck four of the in irn .ng—still the herdsman had not made his ippearance ! The calves began to bellow ,ncessantly. The neighboring windows began to open. and more than one ill-aimed ,itcher of water fell short of him. He was billed through. He nevertheless waited a half hour longer,and then giving a vigorous p 11 at the door cell within reach he pushed ,he calves in the open tfoor, closed it and re rented to bed. Can't you picture the con , usion and amazement of the porter and wile wakened at this untimely hour of a vinter's night, and seeing his court-yard tilled with flitting white shapes! MILWAUKEE, Feb. 15. A heavy snow -torm prevailed yesterday and last night l over the Northwest. The weather is colder than it has been at ,n . y time this winter, and the thertir)meter tinging at from fifteen to thirty degrees be ow zero.

KANSAS CITY, Fe 15.—Tbe bank at Liberty, Clay county, 1 3.10., was robbed on fuesday afternoon, of $72,000, under the circumstces:—Twelve men en iered the town about two o'clock, three of whom guarded the suburbs of the place. Nine went to the Clay County Savings' AssoCiation, seven of whom guarded the building,. while the other two entered, and with cocked revolvers at the head of - Mr. Baird, cashier, and his son, forced them into the vault.and compelled them to deliver, up all the money in the bank. As the .robbers were leaving, Mr. Baird thrust his head out of the window and gave the alarm. A boy named Wyman repeated the alarm and was shot five times and in stantly killed. The robbers mounted their horses and escaped. A body of thirty citizens started hi pursuit, and fifty more followed yesterday, but at the last accounts no captures had been made. The robbers divided the money at Mount Gilead Church, ten miles from Liberty, to enable 'them to t,catter. if necessary. Three of the robbers were recognized as notorious bushwhackers daring the war. • aIIEEAMING - SPIE.T.—LOWELL PATIENI.
