SENATE.—The Reconstruction resolution
'was taken up at i o'clock.
The pending question was on the follow
amendment, offered by Mr. Doolittle on
'Thursday last:
"After the census be taken in the year
1870, and each succeeding census,ltepresen
tatives shall be apportioned among the sev
;end States which may be included within
this Union according to the number in each
State of male electors,over twenty-one years
of age, qualified, by the laws thereof to
Choose membets of the most numerous
'branch of the Legislature; and direct taxes
;shall be apportioned among the several
States according to the value of the real and
personal taxable 13roperty situated in each
State, not belonging to the State or of the
United States."
Mr. Howe (Wis.) resumed the floor in
continuation of his speech began yesterday.
He alluded to the President's action in the
case of Semmes, elected Probate Judge in
Alabama. He did not condemn the Presi
dent for that—not at all—,but he would say
that Semmes was as well qualified to act as
_judge as the people of Mobile were to elect a
judge. Why could not Congress do by
a law of its making what the President had
'done without an act of Congress?
Mr. Howe said an attempt would be
made to pack the next Congress in favor of
the President's policy, but he did not think
it would be successful. It was not the first
:attempt of the kind, and it would be no
more successful than an attempt two hun
dred years ago to pack the Parliament of
-James 11, in favcir of Catholic indulgence.
After a personal discussion between
afeitirs. Howe and Doolittle. Mr.!' Doolit
tle's amendment was disagreed to. yeas 7,
nays 21. Those who voted in the affirma
tives were Messrs. Cowan, Davis, Doolittle,
.etihathrie, Hendricks, Johnson and Riddle.
Mr. Doolittle offred an amendment dif
fering from the one just disagreed to by
:stituting the words "male citizens" for
-6 `.male electors."
iMir. Cowan (Pa.) spoke against any
- Change in the basis of representation, and
said he should vote for the amendment
offered by Mr; Doolittle, because he con
sidered it better than the proposition of the
'Committee of Fifteen. •
Mr. Sherman said he be believed Mr.
Doolittle's amendment was right in princi
ple, but he should vote against it, because
le felt it his duty to sustain the action
agreed upon by his political friends, and he
knew it would be impossible to arrive at
any conclusion without some sacrifice of
personal preferences.
Mr. Doolittle's amendment was disagreed
to—yeas 7, nays 21.
Mr. Williams offered an amendment as a
substitute for the second section, as follows:
SECTION 2. Representatives shall be ap
portioned among the several States accord
ing to their respective numbers, counting
- the whole number of persons in each State,
excluding Indians not taxed; but whenever
the right to vote at any election held under
the Constitution and laws of the United
States, is denied to any of the male inhabi
tants or in any way abridged, except for
,participation in rebellion or other crime, the
basis of representation in such States shall
'be reduced in the proportion of which the
number of such male citizens shall bear to
- the whole number of male citizens not less
than twenty-one years of age in such State.
Mr. Hendricks moved that the above be
-printed and that the 'Senate adjourn. The
Senate refused to adjourn, but after some
discussion the motion was renewed, and at
.5 P. M. the Senate adjourned.
HOUSE. - The bill to regulate the safe
keeping of public money was passed.
Mr. Delano (Ohio) offered a resolution,
which was adopted, instructing the Com
mittee on Banking and Currency to inquire
into the propriety and necessity of amend
ing the law under which National Banks
are organized, so that the rate of interest
charged by such banks shall be uniform,
and so as to inflict upon any association at
tempting to charge more than the legal rate
•of interest, such penalty as may be deemed
proper for the purpose of enforcing a com
pliance with the legal rate.
Mr. Brandagee (Conn.) from the Commit
tee on Naval Affairs, reported back a bill to
authorize the President in case of public
.exigency to establish a naval station at
Cleveland, Ohio, or some other point on the
Northwestern lakes, which was recommit
ted and ordered to be printed.
The House then proceeded to the conside
ration of the bill reported April 3d, by Mr.
:Kelley, from the Committee on Naval
Affairs, to authorize the Secretary of the
Navy to accept League Island, in the Dela
ware river, for naval purposes.
Mr. Kelley (Pa.) addressed the House in
advocacy of the bill.
Mr. Brandagee followed in opposition,
describing League Island as 374 acres of
mud bottom, three feet below the surface of
the Delaware river at ordinary high tides,
and a hundred miles from the ocean, and
.quoting the resolution of the Naval Board,
which had examined it, "that in the opinion
of the Board the public interest would not
be promoted by acquiring the title of
_League Island for naval purposes."
He moved a substitute for the bill, re
(questing the President to appoint a com
mission of not less than seven competent
'officers and engineers to make a careful ex
amination and survey of such sites as have
.or may be proposed for an iron-clad station,
and to report to Congress the corresponding
.advantages and disadvantages of each.
This substitute, he said, he had submitted
to the gentleman from Pennsylvania, Mr.
- Kelley, and he had then accepted it.
Mr. Kelley explained that his accept
ance was procured on gross and grave mis
representation.
Mr. Brandagee asked what representa
tions the gentleman referred to.
Mr. Kelley replied that they vibre those
'which the gentleman, Mr. Brandagee, had
made to him.
Mr. O'Neill addressed the house in sup
port of the bill, arguing upon the advantages
•of League Island and the disadvantages of
New London as a station for iron-clads.
Mr. Hubbard (Conn.) followed in opposi
tion to the bill.'
Mr. Leßlond, a member of the Naval
'Committee, explained that the real•question
:at issue was whether or not it would be of
advantage to the Government to"abandon
. the Navy Yard at Philadelphia and locate
it on the new site at League Island. The
Philadelphia Navy Yard was now badly
:situated, the city having grown beyond it.
The citizens were anxious for its removal,
- the naval authorities were in favor of its
removal, and the city of Philadelphia offered
to present League Island gratuitously to the
Government. That was the whole question
involved, and it did not in any sense inter
fere with the project of an iron-clad station
at New London.
Mr. Braxidagee interrupted him to state
that the idea was simply not to change the
Navy Yard from one point to the other, but
to make League Island a place for the con
struction, repair and safe-keeping of iron
dads.
Without dispdsing of the bill, the House
- passed from its consideration, and Mr.
Raymond, from the Committee on Appro
.priations, reported a bill making appropria
tions to supply .deficiencies for contingent
•expenses of the House for the fiscal year
-ending June 30th, 1866, which was read
three times and passed. It appropriates,
- for miscellaneous items,ten thousand dollars
for folding documents, seventeen thousand
five hundred dollars; for furniture and • re
pairs, and packing boxes for members, ten
thousand dollars, and for stationery, fifteen
thousand dollars.
Mr. Burleigh (Dakota Territory) objected
to the third reading of the bill, but the
•Speaker stated that the objection was one
which he could not recognize.
Mr. Burleigh inquired of the Speaker what
he was sent here for.
The Speaker replied that he was sent here
as a delegate from the Territory of Dakota
to discuss matters in the House, but not to
• Without disposing of the bill, Mr. Conk
ling (N. Y.) from the Joint Cotranittee on
Reconstruction, reported testimbhy taken
by the Committee in reference to Louisiana,
Texas and the Indian Territory, which was
ordered to be printed, and the House, at
half-past four, adjourned.
The Gas Works Investigation.
The Select Council. Committee appointed
to investigate `-the affairs of the Trustees of
the Philadelphia Gas Works held; another
meeting Yesterday aftertioOn.
Col. Charles Thompson Tones was e
nmined, as follows: -
sZtuestion.—By Colonel Page.—l have be
fore me. , a report of the operations of the
Gas Works for 1865. From what source, sir,
did you obtain the statistics from which the
report is made ? Answer. From the
chief clerk employed at the Works.
Q. There was a report presented on May
17, 1866, a report purporting to be that of
these Trustees. What do you know con
cerning the material Wand the accuracy of
that report? A. It was compiled, by Mr.
Chas. S. Miller, member of the Board of
Trustees of the Gas Works.
Q. Is it signed by you? A. I sighed it by
the instruction of the Board of Trustees, on
their behalf.
Q. Have the by-laws been changed since
1862? A. I think they have.
Q. In your report for 1865 it is stated that
during the year a great.quantity ofcoal was
lost and destroyed; can you tell the number
of tons that were lost? A. I cannot by
memory only. The figures are on file at
the office of the Trust.
Q. Whatwas the cause of the fire that
destroyed it? A. Spontaneous combustion.
The Board directed the Fire Marshal to
make a rigid examination into the cause of
the fire. His illness has prevented the ren
dition of a report by him.
Q. What was the actual total damage
sustained by the Trust? A. I . am not pre
pared to answer. "-
Q. Have not the works been tried to the
utmost capacity in time of pressure? A.
They have. But we have never stopped th.
supply of gas in the street lamps to ammo
modate private residences. I think that
during last year the lamps were not kept
lighted during the night as long as pre
viously. When the war ended it was sup
posed by the trustees that the Government
hospitals, arsenals, &c., being closed there
would be left a more than sufficient supply
of gas; but to our surprise it was increased
in the month of December, and we were
compelled to force the works to their utmost
capacity to meet the demand. The engineer
has told me that he has stayed whole nights
at the works to encourage the men to make
gas enough for the next day's supply for
the city.;
Q. Have you ever curtailed the city light
because you had not gas to supply the
streetilamps? A. For a few nights in last
December the Chief Engineer curtailed a
number of hours, alleging that he was sup
plying more gas than the contract with the
city called for.
Q. In your report of May 17th you have
a comparison of the prices of gas, by which
it appears that in New York the price is
$3 66 per thousand feet. You also state the
price of gas in Philadelphia to private con
sumers as $3 15, including Government tax.
What is the amount of that tax? A. Thirty
cents per thousand feet.
Q. This report embraces the prices of
gas in New York, Beaton, Buffalo, Albany,
Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago and St.
Louis, and the average price is taken as a
comparison for the price of gas in Philadel
phia. Now, looking to the fact that the
works referred to are on a smaller scale than
ours, and vastly more remote from the re
gions supplying coal, and with very far less
facilities in this respect; while these are all
private corporations, declaring heavy divi
dends, do you candidly say that you think
this is a fair comparison with the Philadel
phia Gas Works, which has no dividends to
declare, and which is bound to furnish gas
to citizens at actual cost ? A. I think it is
a fair comparison. When the committee
examine our accounts they will see that
this Board have made a large addition to
the sinking fund; so that,in time,the works
will belong entirely to the city.
Q. Can you tell me how many cubic feet
of gas to the pound will good coal produce
A. I would prefer that you would summon
the foreman from the defendant's works to
answer questions of this character.
Colonel Page then interrogated Colonel
Jones in reference to the construction of a
main to Germantown by the way of Wissa
hickon creek. The answer was: This main
has been more productive than was sup
posed. Its estimated cost is $lO,OOO to
;3 15, 0 00. 'The pipe's still in the ground,and
is used to furnish gas to all the hotels and
large factories on the Wissahickon, up to
Germantown. Without this main gas
could not be furnished to the locality. The
main connects with the Chelten avenue
main at Germantown. It was laid for this
special purpose; for the proprietors of these
mills had threatened to sue the city for not
furnishing gas. Another main was after.
wards laid to Germantown, along Ninth to
Diamond, because the people of German
town clamored for a sufficient supply, al
leging that they could not receive it from
the Wissahickon main.
Q. What became of the old iron when the
retorts gave out? A. It was sold.
Q. Did the parties buying it ever supply
you with retorts? A. They did.
Q. Did they make the new retorts of the
old iron thus bought? A. They always de
nied such a charge. They were unfortunate
in making retorts. I have heard that same
question asked of Mr. Cresson. He scouted
the idea, and said that such a thing was im
possible.
Colonel Page then read from the recent
speech of Mr. Jones before Select Council,
in which he said that to the Investigating
Committee would be explained the cause
of the greater consumption of gas in the
street lamps last year than ever before.
Mr. Jones said that now he was unable to
do this, but would be ready to do it at the
next meeting.
Colonel Page then read from the last an
nual report of the trustees from 1859 to 1864,
to show that the leaking was uniform,
averaging 60.000,000 cubic feet of gas per
year. In 1864 it rose to 83,390,000, an in
crease of 23,000,000 feet.
Mr. Jones said that all this was suscep
tible of easy evlanation. In 1864 the Board
supplied gas to all the Government h 050...
tals, to the refreshment saloons, to the sani
tary hospitals and sanitary fairs: All this
gas was included under the head of leakage.
Colonel Page thought that so far this
might be satisfactory, but thatin 1865, When
Mr. Jones was President of the Board, and
when there were no such buildings to fur
nish with gas, the leakage arose again to
112,490,000, an increase of 30,000,000 over the
previous year, and nearly double that of
1863.
Mr. Jones explained that of this immense
excess 10,326,000 feet were lost by clay re
torts alone. The contract for clay retorts
bad been made in 1864; and the Board was
compelled to take them. The same coal
which in the iron retorts yielded 4 19-100ths
cubic feet of gas per lb, in the clay retorts
yielded only 3 46-100, a loss of 73-100ths.
Mr. Jones further stated that by the break
ing of their holder, they sustained in im
mense loss. All its contents were wasted.
The gas bad to be pumped out.
After the ,above testimony was elicited,
Colonel Page read the following letter from
the Trustees:
