A report was submitted from the Commit - tee on City Property recommending the re znoval of the Dad House, and an appropri ation of $1,400 to erect a new. Green House Agreed to. A resolution was adopted requesting the 'Chief Commissioner of Highways to put :stone steps to the Chestnut Street Bridge, at Twenty-fourth street. • The orpinanee from Common Council •ebanging the boundaries of the First and Second Police Districts, and providing for the erection of a new station house, was con 4ourred in. The Committee on Law reported favorably - to changing the place of voting in the Ss ‘cond precinct of the Eleventh Ward. The Committee on Law made a report in reference to the payment to two of the mem bers of the Gas Trust—Messrs. Elliott and McCarthy—the sum of $350 each, for ser vices rendered in making a report and au ‘diting accounts. The majority of the com mittee reported that the act was illegal, but that it had been customary for years to pay -members for services rendered to the Trust. Col. Page made a minoritY report, in -which he stated that Benj. Gerhard, Wm. L. Hirst, -Richard Ludlow, W. G. Flanagan, Anthony Miakey, Lewis Cooper and John Gilpin, former Trustees, had in the same manner received moneys• from the Trust. The majority report reprehends the cus tom, though the. services were valuable and absolutely called for by the Trust. The -entire clerical force of the Board was occu pied in other ways, and the services could hot have been done but by gentlemen con versant with the details and the routine of the business. The report terminated in -a resolution discharging the Committee on Law from all further- oonsideragon on the subject. The minority report closes with a resolu 'llion that the City Solicitor be instructed to take steps to recover from William. Elliott -and John McCarthy the sum of $350 each, illegally paid them by the Board of Trus tees of the public Gas Works. After a piquant debate of some length, 7141. r. Pollock moved that the names of all the gentlemen named in the minority re -port be included in the resolution. The Chairman said it was very clear that in law no member of a body like the Gas "Trust has a right to receive payment for personal services. The whole subject was indefinitely post poned. Colonel Page read, by permission, ex tracts from the phonographic report or the :sitting of the special committee on the Gas `Trust relative to the charge against himself , of arbitrariness toward Mr. Manuel, in which he vindicated his course of action. An ordinance authorizing the Controllers »of the Public Schools to contract for certain :school buildings was passed. The bill to appoint a joint special commit tee to investigate the affairs of the Gas 'Trastees was called up. A motion was made indefinitely to post lime; - - Mr. Chas. Thomson Jones opposed the postponement, because the present -commit tee had nearly concluded its labors, and had mottling to do now but to examine the finan eial affairs of the Treat. In this respect he thought that he should displease some of his colleagues in the Trust. They felt ag grieved against Col. Page, while the speaker thought that-In the heat of debate, on both :sides, words had been said that otherwise would mot have been spoken. The Chief Engineer has been misunderstood. Col. Page responded that he had no other -object to gain than to fulfil the duty that he had sworn to perform; and that if the com mittee was continued he should spare no friend, if derelict in duty, nor fail to point out the delinquency of any foe. On the question of indefinite postponement of COMMIQn Council resolution to appoint a Joint committee, the ayes were 18, Mr. Manuel alone dissenting. A resolution providing that $25 must be paid fo the city for the cost of printing any -ordinance granting special privileges to parties or individuals, was introduced by Aft. Freeman, and was indefinitely post poned. The bill from Common Council instructing the Committee on Wharves and Landings to cleanse Washington street pier, at a cost not exceeding $2,000, was concurred in. The highway bills from Common Councils were concurred in. The bill authorizing the Department of Highways to remove,Ac., was concurred in. The resolution to elect Port Wardens,em., next Thursday, was concurred in. Ad journed. COMMON BRANCH. Mr. Marcer offered a resolution to recall the bill dividing the southern police district.

Referred. A. petition was presented by Mr. Stokes for permission to erect temporary wooden buildings for-the use Of the Chestnut and Walnut street passenger railway. The Committee of Highways reported resolutions to- grade' and pave 'Sixteenth atreet, from Catbarme to Carpenter streets; to pave Sixth street, from Somerset street to Philadelphia and Trenton Railroad; to pave Houston street, from Sepviva to Mem phis streets; also, to discharge the commit tee from the consideration of the bill for ex penses, presented by Mr. Lafferty. This 43ontracterjaved and graded Monroe street without an,Mbrity, trusting to the Highway 'Committee to endorse the bill. Believing that the approval would be a bad prece tient, the committee reported as above; to tramway Olive street, from- Seventeenth to Eighteenth streets; to tramway Bay street, from Sixth to Seventh streets; to tramway Leaf street, from Locust to Orange streets; to pave Owen and Taylor streets. All the bills were passed. The Police. Committee reported an ordi mince to change the name of Jones's alley, Sixth Ward, to Church street. Agreed to.

Mr. Mercer offered-dresolution: to meet in joint convention-with- Select Councils on Thursday next,to elect eight Port . Wardens and two Trustees of the Northern Liberties Gas Works. Agreed to. -- Mr. Taylor called up the bill sapplemerf tary to the ordinance providing street stands for market wagons. The ordinance pro vides that only farmers who own garden farms and sell the produce they raise them- selves shall occupy stalls in the market houses, and no Shinners shall be allowed to nse the curbs or pavements as market stalls. *. Mr. Simpson said that the people were swindled by forestallers who meet the farmers on the - outskirts,bay the country produce and then sell the marketing on the curbstone. These curbstone hucksters con trol the price of all produce. They pay no tax, buy no license, but by a combination control the market. The farmers should be compelled to purchase a stall and sell them selves. The pavements should be cleared of hucksters. Mr. Fox said that while the bill was in tended to abolish the shinners it permitted the farmers of other counties to sell in our streets. It strikes at our own citizens, but gives liberties to men from other counties. The shinners pay taxes, but the farmers do not. The bill originated in the market houses, who desire high rents. He was op posed to shinners selling meat on the streets, but he would not favor anything which aimed a blow only at the poor shinners, without making the law to wipe out the curbstone men. Mr. Vogelbach said Mr. Fox held the shinners in too muchreverence. They never paid taxes as a class. A few only returned any income, or paid any attention to the Collectors of Internal Revenue. Mr. Evans said, Mr. Vogelbach was wrong. The curbstone market men in the Fifteenth Ward pay taxes. The market men on Callowhill street and on Coates street'feed the Ward. Mr. Harper said that the • passage of the bill will add to the :expenses of the people: The shiners pay no-rent, and therefore can sell cheaply. If the bill be passed, and only six per cent. be added to -the general ex penses of the people, it will make an addi tion of at least $30,000 a week to the house hold expenses of our citizens. If there are six thousand families' in Philadelphia, and their average produce bill reach $5 a week, this will be $30,000 a week, or $1,500,000 a year. No one desires to add such a sum to the expenses of the people. Mr. Evans said that if the bill be passed the people of his Ward would be compelled to go to Market street or to the river fronts and ferries for their marketing. A motion to postpone the whole subject indefinitely was agreed to—yeas 20, nays 14. The ordinances to authorize the Heston vile Passenger Hallway to lay a double track on Twenty-fifth street, northwardly from Spring Garden to the south side of Green street, and sonthwardly from Spring Garden, on Twenty-fifth street, to Biddle street, by a single track to connect with their tracks on Callowhill street, was passed. A resolution appointing a eommittee of five to inquire as to the best invention for saving life on passenger railways was agreed to. The resolution to apportion the Twenty fourth and Twenty-seventh Wards into election districts was agreed to. Mr. Miller, of the Highway Committee, reported a resolution to change the location of the Highway Department to the rooms now occupied by the Market Department and Building Inspectors; the Market De partment to remove to the Girard Building, North Fifth street. Agreed. Mr. Stanton offered an ordinance to per mit the Pennsylvania Railroad to partially enclose the lamp in front of their ticket of fice at Seventh and Chestnut with a wooden frame. Agreed to. The bill from Select Council to purchase a lot of ,ground for a reservoir in the Twenty fourth ward; the bill to purchase a lot of ground in the rear of the Chandler School, Eighteenth Ward; A resolution of request to the contractors for the new Court house, and the resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into a contract for coal, were con curred in. The resolution to purchase a lot ofground in the Tenth Ward for school purpeses was postponed. Mr. Evans offered a resolution that the Chamber appoint a oommittee of five, to in vestigate the accounts of the Gas Trust, as requested by , the . Trustees. Mr. Hetzel moved as an amendment that they concur with.the Special Committee of Select Council, of which. Col. Page is Chair man. A MCltical to indefinitely postpone the whole subject was lost. Mr. Hetzel's amendment was lost; yeas 10, nays 17. Final action upon the resolution was pre ventedby the arrival of thehour of adjourn ment. 4om our Third Edition of Yesterda Congresss—tirst Session. WASHINGTON, May 24th. SENATB.—Mr. Wilson (Mass,) offered a resolution for a special committee to inves tigate the condition of the national banks as to how muchgovernment money has been deposited in them within the past year, by whose authority, and whether and to whom interest has been paid on such deposits. Adopted. At 1 o'clock the reconstruction report was taken up. Mr. Stewart (Nevada) addressed the Se nate in favor of universal suffrage and uni versal amnesty. HOITSE.—Mi. Eliot (Mass.) from the Com mittee on Commerce, reported back the Senate amendments to the House joint res olution to prevent the introduction of chol era in the ports of the United States, which were concurred in, so that the joint resolu tion is passed by both Houses. Mr. Welker (Ohio), from the Committee for the District of Columbia, reported back, with amendments, the Senate bill to incor porate the Women's Hospital Association of ' the District of Columbia.

Mr. SteVens (Pa.) movid to amend the sixth section in reference to the Sea Islands by making itftead, that when the former owners shall apply for restoration of the lands the Commissioner shall refuse to surrender them. He said that these lands were forfeited to the United States as belonging to bellige rents, and they were allotted to some 6,000 familes, which were now in possession, cul tivating them and having comfortable homes upon them. It would be cruel and unjust to'turn 'them out, leaving the Go vernment to procure for them other lands at the cost of $25 an acre as proposed by the section. The amendment was adopted, yeas 79, nays 46; so that the section now reads: SEC. 6. And be it further enacted, That whenever the former owners of lands occu pied under General Sherman's field order, dated at Savannah; January 16th, 1865, shall apply for restoration of said lands, the Com missioner shall refuse to surrender the same. • Mr. Shellabarger (Ohio) moved to amend by adding to the foregoing section: Provided, That nothing in this act contained shall be construed to affect the right of any person to recover in the proper Courts, any title or right of possession, which such person may have M any of the landheld under said field order. Mr. Davis (N. Y.) moved to' amend by striking out all after the second section. Mr. Brandagee (Conn.) moved to post pone, the further consideration of the bill till the second Monday in December next, sustaining that motion by, the argument that at that time Congress would be in a THE , DAILY E BULLETIN PRILADELPHIk: FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1866 condition to act more intelligently on the subject, as it would then have before it the rei-lorts of the Commission sent by the Presidem of the Special Committee to be sent by butt Houses to inquire into the working of ti e. system and adding, in an undertone, that tk a postponement would save some.
