27, 1866.—His Excellency Andrew G. Curtin,
Governor of Pennsylvania.—Slß; I have the
honor to tender you my resignation as
Surgeon General of Pennsylvania. The
muster out of the regiments of the State
renders it unnecessary for me to remain
here longer, and having devoted five years
to, the public service, I desire to return to
the private pursuit of my profession.
In thus asking the severance of my" con
nection with your military stair, I cannot
refrain from expressing my gratitude for
the uniform kindness shown to me by you,
officially and personally, for the generous
confidence you have always placed in me,
and the hearty co-operation you have se
lorded me in the discharge of my duties.
The trust you reposed in my fidelity is
more pleasing, as you were so deeply inte
rested in the medical care of the troops you
sent into the field, and for whose comfort,
health and lives you ever manifested the
warmest solicitude. •
With the earnest desire that the years of
anxiety, toil and grave responsibility which .
you have so lately passed through, as a
public officer, may be followed by a long
Jife of health, happiness and prosperity,
X have the honor to be, very respectfully,
your friend and obedient servant,

CITY BULLETIN.
WEST PHILADELPHIA.—Another pleasant
day, but still unseasonably, cool, retarding
the production of early vegetables to a
greater extent than in any . previous season
#r
in recollection. Some idea of how cold
o
it on Friday and Saturday mornings of
liip
week, may be gathered from the fact
that it made ice one-fourth of an inch thick
on the green-home sashes and hot-bed
frames of Mr. Robert Rilvington's nursery
garden in Locust street, above Thirty-sixth,
while at the distance of five miles in the
interior all the early plants were cut down
by the heaviness of -the frost. It is almost
useless to think of sowing any kinds of seed
out of doors in the open ground, as it will
be sure to rot, to the disappointment of the
planter.
The police business of the district has
been = scarcely worth reporting. On the
Sunday morning hearing at the Station
House, two persons were fined $3 each for
drunkenness, another $2 for a breach of
ordinance, and a man named Edward Jag
gem, was likewise fined $3, and held to
answer at Court for a violent assault and
battery. As a proof of how quiet it was on
Sunday, but one case 'presented itself on
Monday morning, Philip Lanning whom
Alderman Allen sent below.
The district has just lost a most faithful
and efficient officer, Sereant Edward
Lister, who had been in service upwards of
•
five years. So high was the appreciation
of his fellow officers, that on the evening
succeeding hie resignation-he had been
elected Assessor of the Ward—they held a
meeting at the hall and presented him with
a fine gold ring. Mr. Charles White handed
it over, and Mr. Lister responded. A nice
collation was served up, in the Police apart
merit, and the boys had a good time getter.
ally. Mr. Jesse G, Phy, a valuable officer,
succeeds to the sergeantcy.
This morning there wre no less than six
drunken cases. Then se e of the "ardent," or
rather the abuse of it, is a constantly in
creasing evil.
At the Almshouse there was quite a num
ber of applicants for summer residence in
the palatial mansion, and the number of
inmates consequently : went up. There were
20 admiesiona-11 male, 9 female; 2 deaths,
in the "Men's Medical," 7 discharged,4 gem.

sent to the place yesterday by Lieutenant

were held for breach of the peace.
HEAVY HOEBERY.—Some time during
hurt night the store of Joseph Hagg, No. 441
North Second street, was entered, by means
of the front grating. Ti 4e thieves went
through the establishment and made selec
tions of some of the finest goods. Dress
silks, mantillas, circulars and shawls to the
value of $3,000 were carried off. The rob
bers broke open a rear shutter, and made
their escape with their plunder by a back
alley.
IMT.—Several men who were sitting on
a coal box at Germantown avenue and Ox
ford streets, last evening, were attacked by
some fifteen or twenty fellows with clubs,
who passed along. The police interfered
and one of the assailants was arrested. The
prisoner gave his name as Robert O'Brien.
He was before Alderman Fitch this morn

damages for the loss of a favorite pointer dog noon
which plaintiff had . paid freight at and from Phhadel
phia to Moreton Station on the Delaware Junction Rail
road. when on a shooting excursion in October. 1885.
The dog was lost orstolen somewhere on the line of the
Junction Railroad. The snit .was quite a novel one,
involving very nice questions of law, as well as elicit
ing if rin the counsel engaged in it no little pleasantry
and historical information relative to the canine race.
The defence was that the dog was lost through plain
tiffs negligence, in having too loose - a collar on the
animal, through which he slipped and escaped. The
Court instructed the tory that if they so fond, plaintiff
c - tdd not recover. Verdict for plaintiff for =t2s.

The House then proceeded to the consideration of
the special order, being the Joint resolution reported
by the Reconstruction Committee, proposing an
amendment to the Constitution of the United states.
The debate was opened by Mr. atevens, in support
of the joint resol talon-
Mr. Stevens said that the proposition before the
House fell far short of his wishes, but he believed it
was all that could be obtained in the present state or
public opinion. Not only Congress but the several
States were to be consulted. On a careful survey of
the whole ground, the Committee did not believe that
nineteen of the loyal States could be Induced to ratify
any proposition more stringent than
this. He repeated " the nineteen States"
for be utterly repudiated and scorned the idea that any
State not actually in the Union was to be counted on
the question of ratification. It was absurd to suppose
that any more than tin eefourths of the States which
proposed the amendment were required to make it
valid. Believing then that this was the best proposi.
tion that could be made effectual, he accepted it.
Referring-to the other Constitutional amendment
passed In the Housethis session, which failed in the
Senate, be saki It as
slaughtered by p hilosophical pe an pe
dantic criticism by a perversion of de
famation. Its death, produced by self-lightens
Republicans and unrighteous Copperheads,
postponed, perhaps for ogee, the salva
tion of the colored race. But it would not 'do for
thoso who had for thirty years "fought the beasts at
Ephesus." to be frightened at the fangs of "mod.rn
catamounts." Heaven forbie that the Southern States.
or any of them, were to be represents d in Congress
until the monuments of freedom were built high and 1

Borsz.—After the reading of the journal, Mr. Gar
field (Ohio) moved to pis •. ne the special order, being
the Constkotional amen , eat repOrted by the Com
mittee on. Reconstruction, until the tax bill shall be
disposed of. It would be a national calamity to have
the tax bill delayed.
Mr. Stevens (Pa.) bored that no such disposition
would be made of it. He had no idea that the discus
sion of the Constitutional amendment would occupy
more than two or three days. and it was not the inten
tion of the Committee to have the other two measures
acted on until it was seen what disposition the Senate
would make of the Constitutional amendment.
Mr. Le Blond (Obis) called for the yeas and nays on
Mr. Garfield's motion. saying that be wanted to see
who were in favor of giving the negro preference over
the important interests of the country.
The vote was taken and resulted in yeas Si, nays 82,
