CITY COITNCILS. The stated meeting was held yesterday afternoon. SELECT BRAT CH Mr. Omerly offered a resolution instruct ing inquiry into certain alleged gross viola tions of health laws, and that authority be given to the Committee on Health to send for persons and papers. Mr. Omerly said it would hardly be be lieved that within fifteen hundred feet of these premises persons having licenses to blean privy wells emptied into the streets on one of the warmest days this season the con tents of a privy well. In another location he had been informed that the product of two hours' labor had also been emptied into the public sewer. Mr. Omerly believed that all this could be proven, if so, the perpetra tors ought to have been arrested upon the spot. The resolution was unanimously adopted. A petition, very numerously signed, *praying that no provisions may be sold in . the public streets, was referred to the Com t4'mittee on Markets. " A note was received from the Board of 'Health, announcing the impossibility of ob -4aining sufficient well water for the use of lihe Municipal Hospital, and asking that B.:huylkill water be introduced there. A_ communication was received from Thomas W. Price, Esq., relative to the con tract for stationery made by the City Com missioners. Mr. Freeman offered a resolution that the City Solicitor be directed not to confirm the contract until approved by the Committee on Finance. Agreed to. Mr. Freeman read an ordinance to pro mote public health, relative to sewerage and drainage. It is as follows': SECTION 1. The Select and Common Coun cils of the city of Philadelphia do ordain, That from and after May 1,1866, any person who shall be the owner or lessee of premise 3 desiring to connect with any of the sewers in the street, shall make application at the Department of Surveys, and shall pay for such privilege the sum of seven dollars and ,fifty cents for all premises not exceeding sixteen feet in width, and all over that width the sum of ten dollars, except they shall have paid proportionally for the con struction of said sewer, in which case the sum of three dollars shall be paid. SEC. 2. That it shall be the duty of the Chief Engineer and Surveyor, on or before (the Ist day of May, 1866, to appoint, by and with the advice of the Committee on Sur veys, a competent person, in each survey district, (who shall give bends in one thou sand dollars for the faithful performance of his duties,) to make so much of the ccnnec tions with the sewers as may be within the 'street lines, the same to be done under the. supervision of the Survey Department, and the expenses thereof (excepting the repav ing) to be defrayed by the person to whom the privilege is granted. The charges to be made by the respective persons so appointed, for their service, shall be uniform, and shall be established by the Chief Engineer and Surveyor, under the supervision of the Com mittee on Surveys. SEC. 3. After the connection with the sewer is made, it shall be the duty of the Commissioners of Highways, upon the written order of the Chief Engineer and Surveyor, to repave the street. SEC. 4. When the privilege is granted to :connect with any sewer, the Department of Surveys is hereby authorized to issue a license, signed by the Chief Engineer and Surveyor. SEC. 5. That no new dwelling house, store, or other building shall be erected on any street or alley in which there is a sewer, without providing an underground connec tion by drain pipes with the sewer for car rying off all drainage that would otherwise flow over the footway; and in all cases where there are gutters now over the footway, which, in the opinion of the Chief Engineer and Surveyor, are objectionable, and are ,situated upon a street where there is a sewer, 'or where, in fhe erection of new buildings after the passage of this ordinance, the di rections herein specified have been disre garded, it shall be the duty of the Chief En gineer and Surveyor to give written notice to the owner or occupants of the premises, to connect with the sewer by under-ground drainage; and in case of non-compliance with said notice for the space of thirty days after the service thereof upon the owner or occupant, there shall be incurred by said owner the penalty of thirty dollars for each month of failure, SEC. 6. No license shall be hereafter granted to make connection with a sewer 'for the purpose of preventing the overflow of a privy well, and no substance shall be conducted into a sewer which will not be carried off by suspension in water; and all such sewer connections now existing shall be cut off by the Chief Commissioner of Highways within thirty days after written notice so to do has been served (by order of the Chief Engineer and Sarveyor) upon the •owner or occupant of the premises drained SEC. 7. That in all cases where the con nection is for the purpose of conveying to the sewer such drainage as would other wise be permitted to flow across the footway, the license must be taken out in manner herein specified; but no charge shall be made therefor other than the sum of three dollars for repaving the carriage way. Sm. 8. It shall be the duty of each pas .•-senger railroad company occupying the streets of the city of Philadelphia, when ever the track may be over a sewer, to make, at their own expense, a connection between the horse-path of their track and the underlying sewer at such points and in such manner as shall be approved by the Chief Engineer and Surveyor; and upon failure so to do within thirty days after written notice has been given them by said Chief Engineer and Surveyor,it shall be the aiuty of the Chief Commissioner of Highways to have the same done, and the cost thereof to be collected from the railroad company, as directed in section 10 of this ordinance. SEC. 9. That if a connection with any sewer is made in violation of the provisions of this ordinance, or it shall be used for purposes not specified in license, there shall be incurred by the owner of the property having said connection the penalty of fifty dollars, and connection shall be severed. SEc. 0. It shall be the duty of the City Solicitor to prosecute for all penalties in .. , curred under this ordinance, upon the di rection of the Chief Engineer and Surveyor. • SEC. 11. The Chief Engineer and Surveyor -'shall pay weekly into the City Treasury all moneys received by him under the provi sions thereof. Dr. Ramerly, in commenting upon the second section, said, that this matter is un controllable by property owners. The owner has no appeal. The Chief Engineer has all the. power. No such latitude should be allowed. There should be no discretion ary power left to the Chief Engineer and surveyor. He moved to postpone until ,next meeting, and *make it the special order for Thursday next, at 5 o'clock, but 'the motion was lost. The discussion upon the ordinance lasted for a long time. Numerous amendments were suggested, but were voted down. The final passage of the bill was ultimate ly postponed until next meeting. .A bill was offered by Mr. Bumm permit ling the Germantown Passenger Railway Co. to lay rails on that part of the Girard Avenue Railroad recently incorporated with the roadof that company. Passed. A resolution to lay water-pipe upon the Lamb Tavern road, to give water to the ,Municipal,Hospital was finally passed. An ordinance to purchase a lot of ground, at $660 per acre, in Monument road, for a reservoir for the supply of water to the Twenty-fourth Ward, was passed finally. Mr. King offered a resolution that the 'icitor be di-ected to take the neces • test the legality of a recent ilature, authorizing the con .ree bridge over the Schnyl- kill at the expense of the city, and to create t loan for the purpose, payable by the ity, without the concurrence of Councils. A opted. Mr. Bumm'a bill, authorizing the - Ger cantown Passenger Railroad Company to ay certain rails, came back from Common , 'ouncil with an amendment, in which this Chamber non -concurred. An ordinance providing for the removal o the municipal hospital of persons from he county prison suffering from contagious , tiseases was. on motion of Dr. Kamerly, , eferred to the Committee on Health. A- resolution of instruction to the Chief Commissioner of Highways by Common Council was concurred in. The sureties of Charles Dixie, Esq., Com missioner of City Property, were accepte , b, The bill relative to the pay -rolls and bills i•.f Supervisors was passed. Adjeurned. ' OEMMON BRANCH. Mr. Stanton offered the following; Resolved, That the thanks of the city of Philadelphia are, hereby, tendered to Police man Jas.Dorsey for arresting Anton Probst, the murderer of the Deering famil v, and that the Mayor of city be and he is hereby re spectfully requested to confer upon him such promotion as his promptness . deserves and the efficiency of the force will permit. Mr. Evans moved to amend by adding the names of policemen Atkinson - and Wel don. Mr. Stanton accepted the amendment, and the resolution thus amended was re ferred to the Committee on Police. The Finance Committee reported a reso 'ution approving the sureties of Charles Dixie, Commissioner of City Property elect. Passed. Mr. Miller presented a resolution to grade Hare street, between. Twenty-fifth street, Pennsylvania avenue, at a cost of $2,500; to tramway Davenport,Souder, William,Clay, McCray and Faisey streets; to discharge the committee from the further consideration of the proposed opening of Carlton street from Twenty-third to Twenty-fourth street; all of which were passed. The Committee of Surveys reported a re solution instructing the Chief Engineer to have the line of Poplar street west of College avenue revised. Passed. Mr. Marcer offered an ordinance requir ing every owner of private alleys in the city to have the same at once properly cleansed. Mr. Marcer explained that the city con tains numerous little alleys from 3 to 10 feet in breadth. These are in many cases filled with filth, and cannot be reached,as neither the Street Inspectors nor the Highway De partment are compelled to clean them. Postponed for one week. Mr. Evans offered a resolution to make uniform rules and regulations for the go• vernment of markets, reducing the fine on ihe sale of meat in the suburbs from wagons from $2O to $lO. Postponed for one week. Mr. Miller offered a resolution requiring all supervisors to make duplicate pay rolls, furnishing one to the 'Controller and one to ihe Highway Department. Passed. Mr. Bardsley offered an ordinance to re quire every man keeping an oyster wagon (la a public street to have a license, issued upon the payment of $lO. Postponed for the present. Mr. Evans moved to reconsider the vote which indefinitely postponed the Select counlil ordinance to appropriate $4OO to the Board of School Controllers. Agreed to. Mr. Creswell addressed the Chamber on the High School. He said that the institu . ion was honored and respected in other days, and the graduates were men of honor and probity. They went before the world with clean hands and clean hearts, and were honored then as High School graduates. In hese times the school has fallen into dis credit. ana this odium must be removed. The, efficiency of the school requires this, and if the school, be not efficient then there is no use in sustaining it. A committee of Board of Control have carefully considered this subject, and their report will forever settle the discussion about the school. Mr. Palmer said that members ought to consider well the premises before they humored the caprices of the Controllers. The report was so voluminous that it covered 800 pages. Mr, Simpson said that the High School was a failure, and he desired to see it abol ished. In abouti a week he would move to abolish the school, and would call the atten tion of members of Councils squarely to the subject. Still he would vote to pay for the examination just completed. Mr. Billington said that the inquiry was merely a question of personal malignity on the part of certain Controllers against some of the professors of the High School. Few members of the Board of Control really can tell the first requirements of a school teacher. Mr. Hetzel said the Controllers came into Councils with a desire to favor personal pre li - judices rather than further public good. They are men who are personally and intel lectually incapable of conducting an exami nation: into the fitness of anybody. Mr. Wolbert said that he would vote for the bill because he wanted everybody to read the testimony. The appropriation passed—yeas 29, naysi. Mr. Palmer offered a resolution to lease Moyamensing Hall to the Hofne for Little. Wanderers. Referred - to the Committee on City Property. Mr. Miller offered a resolution instructing the Commissioner of Highways to at once remove a doable-track railroad, laid in Twenty-fifth street, from Spring Garden to Pennsylvania avenue, without warrant of 'avv, Agreed to. Adjourned. Tim "UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD.—The President yesterday sent a message to Con gress, submitting a communication from the Secretary of the Interior, in relation to the Union Pacific Railroad ComPany, eastern divisidn. It appears that the Company was required to complete 100 miles of their road within three years after the acceptance of the conditions of the original act of Congress This period expired December 22, 1865; 62 miles had been previously accepted by the government. Since that date an additional section of 23 miles .-had been completed, Commissioners appointed for the purpose have examined and reported upon , it, and an application has been made for its ac ceptance. The failure to complete 100 miles of the road within the period prescribed renders it questionable whether the Executive officers of the government are authorized to issue the bonds and patents to which the - com pany would be entitled,of thil t as well as the other requirements, if the con ract had been observed. This failure'may be, to some ex tent, ascribed to the financial condition of the country incidetit to the recent civil war. As this company appears to be engaged in the energetic prosecution of the work, and manifest a disposition to comply with the conditions of the grant, the President re commends that the time for completing that part of the road be extended, and that au thority be given for the twine of bonds and patents on account of the section now offered for acceptance, notwithstanding the failure, should the company in other respects be thereunto entitled. PRESIDENTIAL CLEMENCY.- Forty-six Persons from South Carolina, seven from Louisiana, and one from Georgia were pardoned by the Presidentyesterday—a few of them under the first and twelfth, but the larger portion under the thirteenth exception of the Amnesty Proclamation. The first exception refers to those who held offica under the pretended Confederate Gov ernment; the twelfth to persons in military, naval or civil confinement or custody under bonds, or detained for offences of any kind either before or after conviction, and the thirteenth to all persons who voluntarily participated in the rebellion, and the esti mated value of whose taxable property is over $20,000. ffiE DAILY EVENING DULLETIII FAIDA.Y, APItIL 7 „I 8 pe. [CLOSE OF YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDINGS.] SENATE.—The bill to facilitate commer cial, military and postal communication between the several. States. was taken up. Mr. Morrill took the• floor against the bill, speaking of it as a measure to give to the general Government poivers expressly belonging to the States. It was, passed through the House, he said, without proper consideration. He objected to the whole scope and tenor of the bill as - a blow at the whole railroad system of the United States. A message from the House announced the passage in that body of the bill to encourage telegraph communication between the United Staten and Cuba, with amendments, one of which restricts the charges of the company to $5O per ten words, and another gives the United States the right to send messages to consular agents and other officers free of charge. Mr. Grime said thes attempt was being made, while relieving the country of one monopoly in the bill before the Senate, to establish a worse one by this telegraph measure. The telegraph bill was laid over for the present. Mr. Morrill (Vt.) resumed his speech against the pending railroad bill. Mr. McDougall (Cal.) followed Mr. Mor rill against the bill. He would regard its passage as a violation of good faith and a departure from the fundamental principles upon which the Government was founded. He opposed the bill, as against sound policy and beyond the law of our license. Mr. Doolittle said it was beyond question that if New Jersey had never chartered a railroad Congress could not do it. Now, what bad New Jersey done? Certainly she had not obstructed commerce in construct ing a new road. He (Mr. Doolittle) be lieved it to be the duty of Congress / not only to defend the government against its assail ants, but to defend the States against an in vasion of their reserved rights. The right to build a railroad was certainly one of these rights. While he was opposed to all monopolies, he was not opposed to a State having the right to judge for itself when and' upon what terms a railroad should be con structed. Mr. Johnson spoke against • the bill as clearly unconstitutional. He had, on a former occasion,as he thought, demonstrated that the measure was unconstitutional. It professes to be justified by the authority to regulate commerce between the States and establish post-offices and post needs. He had supposed that the meaning of these powers had been so long established that it could not be a matter of reasonable doubt now, and that they never were intended for the purposes named in the bill. The Senate at three - o'clock went into Ex ecutive session, anti soon alter adjourned. HOUSE. —On motion of Mr. Schenck (Ohio) the Committee on Military Affairs was discharged from the further considera tion of the Senate bill authorizing the Secre tary of War to settle the claims of the State of Kansas for services of the militia called nut on the requisition of Maj.-Gen. Curtis, and it was referred to the Committee on the War Debts. Mr. Ingersoll (Ill.),_from the Committee on the District of Columbia, reported a bill placing t 25,000 at the service of the Commis sioner of Public Buildings, for the purpose Qfdeaning and purifying the city, in view of the danger from cholera and other epi demics, and asked to 'have it put upon its passage. Mr. Washburne (Ill.) objected, but sug gested its reference to the Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union. The bill was read twice, and referred to the Committee of. the Whole on the State of the Union. Mr. Ancona (Pa.), from the Committeeon Military Affairs, reported back the bill to extend the jurisdiction of th, Court of Claims with a substitute for the first section; The substitute provides that the Court of: laims shallitiave jurisdiction to bear and deter minelle claim of any paymaster, quarter master, commissary of subsistence, or other disbursing officer of the United States, or of his administrators or executors, for relief from responsibility on account of losses by capture or otherwise, while in the line of his duty, of government funds, vouchers,'' re cords and papers, and ;or which such offi cer was and is held responsible. On the suggestion of Mr.Washburne (Ill.) a proviso was added that an appeal may be taken to the Supreme Court,as in other cases. The amendment was agreed to, and the bill passed. The House resumed the unfinished busi ness of yesterday, being the Northern Pa cific Railroad bill. Mr. Kelley (Pa.) • addressed the House in support oktbe bill, At the close of his speech, Mr. Stevens , (Pa.) offered a substitute for the bill. The übstitute changed the phraseology of the first section by inserting before the words `shares per mile," in every place they occur, the words "the interest upon;'' adds a proviso to the third section,"that no war rants for said lands shall be issued by the Government in advart6e of the construction of the several portions of the road, as re quired by the charter;" strikes out the fifth section, and inserts in lieu of the words "the time limited in said charter for com mencing the construction of said railroad and telegraph, and the several periods limited for completing the same are hereby respectively extended one-year." Mr. Farnsworth made an argument against the bill, referring to the active ex ertions of lobby agents in manipulating the Chicago Board of Trade and procuring from it a circular requesting members from Illinois to vote for the bill. He made a computation of the amount for which the United States would be liable under this bill, and the amount was $69,016,000. He sent to the desk and had • read an extract from a pamphlet published-by the Directors of the Company, estimating the value of the land granted at $473,000,000, and the entire cost of the road at $10,000,000, leaving to the shareholders a clear profit of $353,- 600,000. This, he said, was the representa tion when the Company wanted to attract capital, and yet it comes to. Congress now asking further subsidies. Mr. Stevens (Pa.) suggested that if all that was true it would be an excellent security for the guaranty asked from the government. - Mr. Randall (Penn.) spoke against the bill, challenging its friends to show any clause in the Constitution justifying the ap propriation of money from the national treasury for such a purpose, and expressing his surprise that his colleague (Mr. Kelley) should have deliveren the beautiful essay which he had done to-day in favor of a mea sure which would take three hundred thou sand dollars out of the pockets of his con stituents. Mr. Donnelly (Minn 4 spoke in advocacy of the bill. Be said thil whole matter re solved itself into the question whether the United States would be i safe in giving the guarantee asked for it, and certainly if the land grant of the . company was as valuable as represented, there could be no risk in the guarantee. • - Mr. Dodge addressed the House in sup port of the bill. He professed to consider the matter as a business man. The grant of lands made to the company was a good bargain if those who had it had been able to carry out the project. But they found that the moment they presented their charter to capitalists the objection was made that ten, twenty or. thirty millions would have to be expended before the lands were made available. The consequence was they could not get American capitalists to invest in it, though they could get British capitalists to do so. Some of the best railroad men in New England, how ever, had met in Wercester, examined the Charter and decided to prevent ; if possible, XXIUtb Congress—First Session. its passageinto the hands of British capital ists. 'They had taken the charter, paying only the expenses legally and honorably incurred in preliminary surveys, printing, &c. He believed the interests of the coun try demanded the completion not Only of the Central but of the Northern Pacific Railroad. Mr. Hubbard (Conn.) spoke for five minutes in opposition to the bill. Mr. Smith offered au amendment to the second section by addinga proviso that the lands on the South side of said railroad, the proceeds of which are about to be pledged tor the payment of the interest guaranteed by the. Government. shall not besold except on terms to be agreed to by the Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Washburne (Ill.) made a strong speech against the bill,denouneing it as the vastest, greatest and most gigantic scheme of public plunder ever brought into the House of Representatives. He warned members on the Republican side of the House that they would be held by their constituents to a .strict account for their votes on these stu pendous appropriations of the public money for such objects. Mr. Thayer (Pa.) remarked that he saw on the files of the House another House bill, entitle6l "a bill to aid in the construc tion of the Kansas and Neosho Valley Rail road, to connect the Great Lakes with the Gulf of -Mexico," and wanted to know whether the gentleman from Illinois could give him any information about it. Mr. Washburne (Ill.) declared that he could not, and that it was impossible to keep track of these road schemes, they were bo numerous. He wanted to know where all these schemes were to lead. Mr. Stevens (Pa.) obtained the floor, but he said that he was so frightened with the terrible pictures of "gorgeous dire and hideous,' and other terrible beasts, drawn by the gentleman from Illinois, that he did not want ts proceed to-night. Mr. Wakhburne (I 11.) said that, in con sideratimeof his friend's nerves he would move to adjourn. The Speaker presented a message from the President, transmitting a communica tion from the Secretary of the Interior in reference to the eastern divisicin of the Pacific Railroad Company. On motion of Mr. Stevens, the Senate joint resolution making appropriations for the'expenses of collecting the revenue from customs was taken from the Speaker's table, read twice and referred to the Com mittee on Apprnpriations. Mr. Eldriiike (Wis.) presented mzcuU rials from the Wisconsin Legislature on the. ( - elimination of soldiers' bounties; in refer ence to a ship canal throuzh the State of Wisconsin, connecting the Mississippi river withthe Gulf of Mexico; for the im provement of the harbor of Superior City, Wisconsin, and a joint resoluting declaring it to be the duty of Senator Doolittle to ro -ign. The latter was referred to the Com mittee on Reconstruction. Adjourned. Confirmation by the Senate.
