WASHINGTON, February 28.—The Presi
dents of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore and the Baltimore, land Ohio
Railroads were to-day before the Com
mittee on the proposed air line road to New
York, and made strong arguments against
the bill now before the Committee. They
asked the Committee to call upon the
Secretary of War and the Postmaster'
General and learn whether there was any
necessity, as is alleged, for the said road,
They denounced the scheme'as corrupt
and said that attempts had been made to
blackmail the present roads. The argu
ments are now closed, and the Committee
will shortly decide in the matter.

BousE.—The House resumed the consid
eration of thirty-five bills, incorporating
mining companies, which had been read the
first time on Tuesday, to operate in the
West.
[NKr. Pershing insisted on the amendment
by which they would be required to pay a
bonus of half of one per cent. to the Com
monwealth, in four_artnual instalments.
He said it was notorious that bills of this
character have been hawked around New
New York for sale. Officers of the Corn-,
monwealth had said that the State had lost
two hundred thousand dollars by similar
bills, which have been passed in previous
years, without requiring any , bonus to be
paid to the State.
Mr. Lee said the Governor would be
satisfied with one-fourth per cent.
Mr. Crosland moved to make the Com
panies pay a bonus of one-fourth per cent.
on their capital stock at the same time that
they took out their charter, instead of mak
ing payment in four annual installments,
which was agreed to, and the following bills
then passed. Incorporating the American
Silver, American Gold, Lander Hill, Yuba

Mining Cm panies.
Such of the bills as authorized the com
panies to work and mine anywhere were
amended and confined to particular loca
lities.
Some of the bills were actually without
mention of the amount of capital stock.
Messrs. Mann, of Potter, and Pershing, of
Cambria, were the most active in urging
amendments.

CITY BIJLLETIN.
THE SIXTH WARD FIEB.—The ruins of
the stores of Geo. H. Roberts and Messrs.
James, Rent, Santee & Co., on North Third
street, continue to attract a large number of
persons. Some of the firemen were at work
nearly all day yesterday in putting water
upon some of the smouldering embers, or
removing dangerous portions of the walls.
The loss of Mr. Roberta is estimated at $40,-
000 instead of $140,000, as has erroneously
been printed, and is fully covered by in
surance. There is one ' policy of $lO,OOO in
the Fire Association.
The store No. 233, which was partially
crushed by the falling of a wall of 'Roberts'
store, was occupied in part by Thomas 3,,
Brother, dialers in notions. Their stock
was valued at $20,000, and it is nearly
a total loss. There is a partial in
surance on the stock. The second story was
occupied by J. Eisenhower, ladies' shoe
manufacturer. He had a stock valued at
$lO,OOO, which was almost entirely lost. In
sured for $3,500 in the Spring Garden and
$3,500 in the Home Insurance Companies.
The Franklin Insurance Company suf
fered to the extent of $20,000 upon the stock
of James, Kent, Santee & Co., and $5,000
upon the stock of Smith & Shoemaker.
The origin of the fire has not yet been as
certained, but is undergoing an investiga
tion by Fire Marshal Blackburn.
TEE LAST OF WENTER.—This is the las
day of the Winter of 1865-6. Although
there have been several very "cold snaps"
and on two or three days the mercury
in the thermometer was lower than it had
been for years previous—the winter, gen
erally speaking, has not been a severe one.
There has been but little sleighing and the
lovers of skating have not had so much
chance as they had during the previous
winter season. There has been much
fine weather and the mildness
of the season, although it has abridged the
enjoyment of those fond of winter sports,
and has not materially helped the busihess
of the ice dealers, has resulted advanta
geously to the poor people. Notwithstand
ing the high prices of fuel and the necessa
ries of life, there has not been as much
suffering among that class of persons as was
anticipated. The cold weather is not over
yet,however. March is always a blustry
month, and onr benevolent citizens should
not forget those who are in distress.
THE INJURED FIREMEN.—The Society for
the Relief of Disabled Firemen voted the
sum of $5BO for the firemen who were in
jured at the conflagration on Monday even
ing, and also to those who were injured at
the fire at Water and Vine streets on the
night of the 29th of January last.
In addition to those mentioned yesterday,
Mr. John Saddler, a member of the Humane
Hose Company, was seriously injured by
falling through a hatchway in the establish
ment of James, Kent, Santee & Co. Peter
G. Bumm, aged 26 years, residing on Darien
street, below Girard avenue, was admitted
into the Pennsylvania Hospital, yesterday
afternoon, with his right leg broken and also
badly injured internally. The injured man
belonged. to the United States Hose, and was
among those who fell through the burning
building on Monday evening.
THE LINCOLN INSTITUTE.—The first busi ,
ness meeting of the Lady Managers of this

COVETS.
Nist Pairs—Justice Strong.—The city of Philadel
phia et &Vs. the Lombard and South street Passengo.2
Railway Company. This is a Bill in Equity Hied by
the City of Philadelphia. both as a municipal corpora
tion and ae a trustee under the will of Stephen Girard,
dec'd, and by Samuel Welsh, John Welsh, 3. B. Blood
gocd, Charles Dutilh, citizens and owners of land front
ing on Delaware avenue, between Walnut and Dock
streets, and by the Philadelphia and Trenton
Railroad Company against the Lombard and
and South street Passenger Railway Com
pany to prevent the extension of
the railway tracks of the deponenta North by Front
or Water street, to Walnut street, thence down by said
Walnut street, to Delaware Avenue, thence along said
A venue to Dock street. The bill charges that the de
ponents are proceeding to rdmove the pavement of
Delaware Avenue without first procuring the consent
of Councils, and without the approval of the Board of
Surveys of the city. The billialso charges that Dela
ware Avenue from Dock to Walnut streets la
not a highway over ' and on which the
Commonwealth has any power to grant
any franchise, except by making compensation to the
city. as trustee under the will of Stephen Girard. and
to those who owning land on the avenue have aided the
city by weer° ents and otherwise to accomplish the
objects enumerated in the will of Stephen (lizard, and
that the act of Legislature, under which the company
is acting, in so far as the same is alleged to take effect
without the consent of the complainants
is in molaHon of the Constitution of
this State and of the United States.
The bill then sets out the provisions of the will of
Mr. Girard in relation to Delaware avenue. and the
action of the City in furtherance thereof. The bill
also charges that the avenue between Dock and Wal
nut is inadequate for the usual trade concentrating at
that point; that storehouses requiring a
very large number of heavy vehicles
for freight are built on the line of the avenue so
that the construction of a railway at
this point would seriously impair the wharf and river
business for which Delaware avenue was laid out at
private expense. The bill concludes with a prayer for
an injunction to restrain the defendants from the lay
ing of their railway tracks. The defendants demur to
he whole bill.
1. That the Legislature cannot delegate to the city
the right of assenting to or dissenting from the exer
cise of the franchise conferred by the Legislature on
the defendants.
2. The City car not prevent, by ordinance. or other
wise, the exercise of the franchise conferred by the
Legislature.
3. The delendants are subject to such ordinances
only as the city is authorized to enact by its charter or
by a power expressly delegated to it, and the Legisla
ture by making the defendants subject to the ordi
nances of the city did not make the exercise of their
franchise of extending their railway track dependent
on the assent of the chy.
"That there Is no trust shown to be connected with
Deism are avenue as limits the power of the Common
wealth to grant the franchise of extending the de tend
ants' raiPa ay thereon."
The application for the injunction was argued by F.
C. Brewster Esq., and George M. Wharton. Esq., for
the complainants, and by Moses A. Dropste,Esq., for
defendants.

future reference.
THE SCHOOL-SHIP SABLNE.—The prac
tice-ship Sabine, now at New London, Ct.,
has about three hundred and fifty naval
apprentices onboard. The boys are in a
splendid state of discipline, and their health
is also very good, only two per cent. being
on the sick hat. A steam launch has been
procured for the use of the ship, and any of
the boys who may show an aptitude for it,
can be instructed in the rudiments of steam
engineering. The launch is under the
charge of Third Assistant Engineer, J. W.
Briggs. A large proportion of the candi
dates for admission on board the Sabine are
refused, as Captain Lowrey makes it a rule
to receive no boy who is not perfectly will
ing to enter the service; neither does he re
ceive weak and effeminate or bad and in
corrigible boys.:
A VERY PLEASANT: 'amity party took
place in Selma, Mass., a few days ago,at the
residence of one of the oldest citizens. He
invited his children, with their families, to
dine with him on the anniversary of his
birthday. Under the plate of each son-in
law and each daughter and daughter-in
law, there was a check for $5,000. The
grandchildren were generously remem
bered, and even the domestics were not for
gotten. About forty thousand dollars were
required to carry out this arrangement.
THE Supreme Court of Nevada has re
affirmed its late decision that the Specific
Contract Law is unconstitutional, and that
greenbacks must be accepted at par in pay
ment of debt; and the merchants, bankers,
drc., have re-affirmed their decision that
whoso offers greenbacks shall be branded
as no better than a thief, and be ruled out in
all future business transactions. The situa
tion is exciting, and the whole Pacific coast
is stirred by the discussion of greenbacks
vs. gold.
WESTERN papers are full of accounts of
religious revi vale. .Nothing like this ex
citement has been seen since 1858.

Raymond versus Seward:

Leno Curtains,
IXXIXth CONGRESS.-FIREiT SESSION '
IWasinsoToN. Feb. 28th.
Houss.—The House resumed the conside
ration of the proposed ConstiMtionalAmend
ment.
Mr. Davis (N. Y.) being entitled to the
floor, Mr. Stevens asked him to . yield, in
order that he might have an important
document read.
Mr. Rogers (N. J.) rose at the same tithe
to a personal explanation. He said he was
reprefiented by the Associated Press as en
dorsing in his speech on Monday, the speech
of William H. Seward in New York, He
did not endorse him or his speech, but
H enr y J. Ra • .. ond.
No name having been mentioned, the re
porter naturally fell into a mistake. He
had not yet forgotton the tinkling of Mr.
Seward's bell, and should be ashamed to
endorse him or his speech, and let it go be
fore his constituents.
Mr. Stevens—He did not endorse Mr.
Seward. He, endorsed me and Mr. Ray
mond. [Laughter.]
Mr. Rogers—l am again represented in
the New York Tribune as wanting the con
federate debt paid (alluding to a head-line
in the Tribune). I did not make any such
argument.
I simply stated that each State should be
left to do as it pleased about the rebel debt.
But I am now here to say, and I wish to be
so reported that if I had the control of it, I
would oppose the payment of the Federal
debt, in Coto.
Several members—The Federal debt?
Mr. Rogers, (correcting himself, amid
much laughter). I mean the rebel debt.
Mr. Washburne (Ill). The gentleman
desires to be reported distinctly, as opposed
to the payment of the Federal debt.
[Laughter].
Mr: Rogers—l am not. lam opposed to
the payment of the rebel debt, but I am in
favor of taxing the Federal debt.
Mr. Stevens now wished to have his docu
ment, which had been sent to the Clerk's
desk, read.
Mr. Davis refused to yield for the purpose.
Mr. Washburne (Dl.)—lt is merely a des
patch stating that the Union members of the
Pennsylvania Legislature had a caucus last
night in which they unanimously endorsed
the action of Congress.
Mr. Davis spoke against the Constitu
tional amendment. He believed that the
Southern States were not out of the Union,
and had not lost any of their rights as
States.
