It was contended that the members of the Board had made themselves personally liable for the bills.

The ordinance passed. . ■ The Committee on Finance also presented a report in reference to the claim of City Commissioner Major David P. Weaver for the fees, of his office during the time John Given occupied it The report was as fol lows: Xho Committee ©n Finance, to whom was deterred the petition of David P. Weaver praying that an appropriation be made for the payment of the salary of the office of City Commissioner for the term embraced between the fiist day of January, 1886,'aria the twenty-first day of August, 1866, the pe riod of time for which he was unjustly de prived of performing the duties of the said ounce, to which he had been legally elected m October, 1865, as set forth in the said peti tion, which prays that the said salary be paid to him, report: That they have given the matter a careful consideration, and are una ,ble to see any ground upon which the peti tioner can claim the said office for and dur .isgtheperiodoftime named, as, by his own statement, ne was not qualified for the per formance of its appurtenant duties until the 21st of August last, and, therefore, could not do anygcfctberein, or render any service to the city. As to the legal liability of the city to pay ' this claim, the committee, have annexed the opinion of the City- Solicitor to their report ' having felt it to be their duty to submit that : him, by which, it aDpears that ‘ the petitioner is not legally entitled' to-the' salary of a City Commissioner for the. pe-, riod named petition. -The i committee, therefore, report adversely to i the’granting of the (petition, regretting l who legally to the office: should be deprived for any'period'of the.! term from enjoying the fees and emoluments! thereof. _ ( Thecommittee also offered aresolution dis- 1 ConofTe B e S./ec°t m fUlther CoDsidera - The City Solicitor’s opinion was: Law Department, 212 South Fifth street - October 12th, 1866.— Joseph Marcer JSsn " i Chairman?/ the Finance (Jommittee.—l We : duly considered the questions presented in the petition of David F.

That the salary has not been paid by the city to any one for the period be tween January Ist, 1866 1 andAugust2lat, 1866. That the petitioner was’compelled, in assisting to expose said . fraudulent re turn, and haying the samdf judicially' set aside, to expend ■ large amounts of money,; besides, being, deprived -of.the . pay and emoluments of .said office, which he alleges; justly belonged to. him, and .he therefore i prays Councils to make an appropriation directing the payment to him of the salary ! ol said office for the term embraced between; January 1,1866,-and August 21,1866. 1 The question thus presented is not whether: Mr. Weaver has any claim upon Mr. Given,' nor whether Mr. Givenhas any claim upon the City " but whether the City owes Mr. ■ Weaver a salary as City Commissioner for a term of seven months and twenty-one '• days, during all of which time he was con fessedly not discharging the duties of the i office, and was not even qualified to do So, - Mr. Weaver did not offer to give bond; did not submit the names of his sureties“to : Councils: did not—as I read his petition— ‘ duly qualify himself for the duties of said ! office until August 21,1866. - Di; the contested elections of Mann vs. ’ rCassidy: and.

CAEEOiIiHrEWSTEB, ■ City Solicitor.' l .. . A minority report, presented by Mr. Dil lon, was read, as follows: The undersigned, .mepabers of the Com mittee on Finance; Vo 1 which was referred the petition of David F, Weaver, City Com missioner, for an f Appropriation directing the payment to him ofthe Salary of said of- ‘ flee, for the term embraced betwesn the Ist day of January7lB667And the 21st day of August; TS66, feg leave respectfully to offer thafollowing minority report; and they re; quest that "whilst 1 in this petition Major Weaver urgesthejiwh'eeof ms cliim.he no where asserts it aka legal right It is sim ply an appeal to the municipal conscience and sense of as suoh,-the under signed are convinced it is an appeal that cannot with justice be disregarded, and aB the petition raised no legal qnestion, the re ference ofit by the Committee to the City Solicitor was, in the opinion of the under signed; quite unnecessary; and that officer, properly regarding the matter only in a technical aspect reported adversely to the petition. however, Major Weaver, instead of as serting merely s moral right, had been pur suing a legal claim, therewould have been no necessity of resorting to this method of prosecuting. Instead of a petition to Coun cils, be might have, in that case, made a de mand through the court. The undersigned, however, believe that the petition ought to be granted upon the ground of jnstlMvand public policy. Major Weaver spent all the period covered by his petition in the virtual service of the public, besides expending his private means to an amount probably not for short of the allowance he asks. It is no answer to this to say that he had a private interest in the controversy, for to the mind of every good citizen and patriot, as well as in the eye of every law, the investigation purstiedso laboriously, indefatigably and conscientiously by Major Weaver, involved interests of the whole community that over shadowed and dwarfed into insignificance all private considerations.- It was in favor of law as in feet an issue in which the law ful voters of this community demanded pro tection-Against the most flagrant and shameful frauds, whereby the most em phatic verdict of the people irrespective of party, was set aside. Such frands, if once accorded impunity, would, without doubt, subvert all good government and public virtue in our community. . For the community’s good, therefore, no less than his own interest, Major Weaver pursued to success a contest rendered une qual by the feet that the incumbent’s fraud ulent certificate enabled him to receive fees and perquisites of the office fer exceeding in amount the regular salary. These fees and perquisites Major Weaver can never receive baok, and these are analogous to the emoluments in Mann vs. Cassidy and in Thompson vs. Ewing, cited by the City So licitor. Bat the city has never paid to any one the salary covered by Major,'Weaver’s petition; ana, after paying that to Major Weaver, the city will be in no worse con dition than it would have been if he had not, in violation of the rights and to the gross scandal of the whole community,been prevented from entering upon his office when, as the Court has solemnly adjudged it was his right to en ter upon it. The an-’ dersigned do not believe that the city de sires to make a profit from bad men’s frauds, and Major Weaver’s misfortune, as the victim of those frauds, and, there fore, recommend the appropriation he asks. For that purpose they they recommend the passage of the following resolution: Eesolved, That the City Commissioners be directed-and. authorized to draw a war rant in fevor of David P. Weaver, for the sum of one . thousand two hundred and i sixty-five dollars and eight cents ($1,265 OS), 1 being the amount of his . salary from Janu- I ary 1,1866, to . August 21, 1860, and the City Controller is directed and authorized ! to countersign said warrant. ■ i The majority report was signed by Mr. Marcer, Chairman; and Messrs. Cattell, Pollock and Freeman, of Select Council,and Measrs-Fox, Harper, Harrison and Fran ciscus, of Common Council. The minority was indorsed by Mr. Samuel G; King, of Select Council, and Mr. Dillon of Common Council. 1 Mr. Marcer moved that the resolution at tached to the majority report, discharging the Committee from the farther considera tion of the.subject, be adopted. Mr. Hetzell moved to amend that the 1 re solution attached to the miriority report be adopted. Not agreed to., Mr. Hancock contended that Councils ought to pay Major Weaver. The voters of the oity had elected that gentleman by a large majority, and it was the duty of Coun cils to give tone to the acts of the people and encourage the right He said if Councils encouraged fraud by refusing to pay this bill, tricks would be again resorted to to de feat a properly elected officer, Messrs. Dillon and Hetzell advocated the passage of the minority resolution. The resolution of the majority of the Com m“tee was adopted—yeas 27, nays 9.

FRIDAY.QCTOBEft 19 1866 of April, 1867. After a long discussion, the .ordinance was adopted. . Mr. Harper submitted the*following reso lution: - Preamble and Besoluiidri of Instruction to the Committee-on Girard Estate. Whereas, It being -known that the Com mittee on Girard ’Estate have authorized a lease to be made of the Enquirer building, for the sum of four, thousand dollars per annum; and Whereas, It Is also known that six thou sand dollars or moreiier annum was offered for the same building j by responsible par ties; therefore, Eesolved , By the Select and Common Councils of the, city of Philadelphia, That the Committee on Girard Estate be and they are hereby directed to revoke their ac tioh. so far as relates tothe lease for four thousand dollars, and offer the 'property by advertisement in the usual form. Mr. Fox hoped thb resolution would not pass. He was a member of the Committee onGirard Estates,.and voted for giving the lease,-believing it 1 to be right and proper. This parties who obtained the lease had ex pended $B,OOO upon the property, and now famish poorer ,to. other tenants, He said that if this, steam power were' cut off, it would reduce the rent. He did not believe the committee would make any change. He, for one, would not. Mr. Harper did not cal).-in question' the integrity of tab committee, but he did call in question.their j adgment, in taking $4,000, when a# Offer pfjfe.OOOiher annurn was offered. As to the power, he would like to know if the renters, paid the Girard estate or an individual?/, x iA;: A. , : 'T Mr. Fox replied that the power was fur nished at cost foy. the party, oeoupying! the building on Chestnut street. - -*• " > Mr. Harper Btated that aside from this qnestion the Girard'eetate would lose $2,000 a year, or $lO,OOO at the end of the lease. This money is wanted for, the education of orphans at Qimtd'College; and yet the gen tleman (Mr. Fox) thinks this but a small matter. Bents have gone up,.all over the city, andthe Girard estate should have all the benefits that a private individual would get from She increase in rents;- Councils have the power and should instruct the oommittee to revoke their' action! ' ' ' Mr. Simpson said the Committee had been moved but by one Idea; and was to get all the money they could for the estate. They were satisfied that the offer of $6,000 was made from hostile feelings to the pre sent tenant, And not because it was worth the money. He said that the tedanla in other -buddings- belonging- to-the-Girard unlesS power wps InrWheiLthemA The ofibr of $6,000 was examined into,-and, 1 if accepted, it was thought by the Committee that the interests of the-other tenants would be jeopardized. At this stageof the proceedings, the call of the house was asked for, and only 21 members answered. No quorum. Mr. Martin moved to adjourn, upon which the yeas and nayß were token,as follows— yeas 12, nays 14; A quorum answering. Mr. Krupp said the matter before the Chamber was an Important one. He said we were sent here to attend to the interests of the city, and not other people’s business He would like to know where a man could foe found that would take $4,000 for a house when he could get l $6,000. No one but a crazy man would do so. Mr. Stanton, one of the Committee on the Girard Estate, said he had voted for the $4,C00; because of the expenditure made by the present tenant and the furnishing of power to other tenants. He said it was a fair business transaction, andhe acted as he would have done for himself. : Mr. Dillon was glad that the matter had come before Connells,’ and he would ask why the buildings 134 and 136 South Third street were tented for $1,500, when parties were offering over $3,000. ’ P Mr. Simpson said the lease .was not up. When.it was the rent would be increased. Mr. Stokley said he had known the Com mittee on Gir£rd Estates to refuse to rent the buildings in Girard row, Chestnut street, unless they were to bo altered into stores, and after this rented one of them for five years for $1,200, when $1,600 had been of fered. He sald it was due to the orphans of Girard College that $B,OOO should be ob tained for the building hear Third street He believed it could be obtained. - • Mr. Krupp moved to postpone for the pre sent. Mr. Harper was sorry that there should have been any angry discussion. He was satisfied that the Committee would find that they had committed ah error of judgment. He would askif the present tenant did not offer $6,000 for the building. Mr. Fox replied that he (the tenant) said he was at the mercy of the Committee, and if they demanded the $6,000, he wonid have to pay it. -.. , - Sr, Harder—Then the present tenant did offer s6,eoo,and therefore the Committee did wrong. Mr. Billington said the simple question was, “Is the building worth $6,000?” He had not heard any good reason why the es tate Bhould lose §2,000 a year upon this pro perty. He believed §6,000 not a fair price : or the building, as it was worth more than that amount. He thought it out of place to charge motives upon any one: - The vote to postpone resulted as follows: Yeas 14—nays 6. No quorum answering, the Chamber adjourned. ■ . SPECIAL NOHCEB.

F)B HEALTH ANI> BTBENGTH USE CAPE WELL <fc CO.’S PATEHT GLASS CASTOB WHaEIa These wheels ate designed for Pianos, Bedsteads, Ac, We claim that they give to Pianos a greatly increased force ofeoond. without detracting from the harmony and melody of the instrument, rendering every note more distinct to the ear. This la so apparent that they are now being applied by many to these valuable mu sical instruments. Dr. valentine Mott, previous to his Qeath. pronounced the Glass Castor wheels an in valuable invention for bedfast invalids, who are guarded against the damp doors after undergoing the process of cleaning, or where dampness Is produced from any other cause. Aside from this. Housekeepers are relieved from the dread of having their carpets cut or torn, as frequently happens from those now in use, often caused by a* rusty Which adheres with glue*like tenacity. No such annoyance can possibly proceed ITom the Glass Castor wheels, as we all know that • glass is non-corrosive. There are no rough or uiton* {shed edges to the Glass Wheels, such as we often find in those of Iron, and'the latter, though smoothly ished, will soon rust, from the dampness of the atmos phere, if nothing else, producing roughness on thesun fhce, or edge, while the former will always maintain thesmootbnewofglass.just as they areflnished.: . By sleeping uppn gloss wheels yon retain all the elec* tricity you had to your body on retiring, and you get up in the morning feeling as-fresh and active as a young man. Glass beingt a non-conductor, the 1 elec tricity gained while in bed cannot pass offi- Ask yon* doctor what he thinks of the Glass Cas tor Wheels* Ask him if all diseases, with the exception of* chronic diseases, are not caused from the want of electricity* We have a man in our the doctors pro nounced past curing, with the Inflammatory rheu matism. The wheels cured him in less thau fbur . weeks. He is to-day a stout healthy.man. These are v facts which can be proven on application at our office. No. 20S Race atreet, Philadelphia,- or at Our Faotory.at Westyille, New Jersey- where: we have some sixty hands employed to the manufacture of the GiaaaCas torWheels. - - .i-.v.- ~ *ieo will be paid to any one who will say, they have ocißmg .....
