After the examination. of the building an in- Meeting was organized in the large com posing room in the fifth story. Hon. Charles Gilpin presided. ' - Mr. john McArthur, Jr., the architect, was called for. He came forward and excused him self from making .uspeech, as he claimed to be an architect and not" au orator. lie could not for bear sayirigi however; that whatever of praise was due for the building, regulted from the gene rous liberality of Mr. Childs. The speaker had drawn the plans, but Mr. Child's furuldhed the money. In his orders 3fr. Childs had never - iitifited the architect or builder, but had ordered everything to be done without reference to cost: and up to this day no question had yet been Made of the expense. Mr. It. J. Dobbins, the builder of the edifice, was then callt_d upon. Daniel M. Fox, Esq., on behalf of Mr. Dobbins, said that that gentleman's part in the erection -of the present magnificent structure had been„ Ukhirn exceedingly- anxious and protracted; that he had devoted many days,. and even ni,ghts; to thought and labor in his anxiety and determination to make the building not only a. credit• to" himself, but a Complete realization of the idea of.its public-spirited owner —in a word, to make it :in important addition to the ornamental architecture of the city: Haying been assured by Mr. Childs that he liad . given full satisfaction, Mr. Dobbins wished' to make it known that in a very material degree his success was due to the kind forbearance and liberal spirit which had ever distinguished that gentle man in their intercourse from the beginning to the end of the great work and he desired to txpreerchis.. thanks to Mr. Childs thus • publicly.' William V. Mc-Kean, Esq.,.of the Ledger, being called upon, said that . : he appeared as'a 'represen tative of Mr. Childs, and while in a position to know that 'about which., he spoke, lie was still sufficiently disconnected" from Mr. Childs to be able to speak in praise of him without any risk of personal adulation; therefore, if in his remarks he she:Ad say anything in praise of that gentle man the speaker desired that his explanation should be borne in-mind. He then stated that the aim in putting up.the New Ledger Building was —first.to build a printing ofliee as good as a print ing of ice could be made; and the next aim was to render that printing office a wholesome place for workmen to do their work in—a very import-. ant desideratum. The third object was to make .this wholesome and convenient printing.ollice an ornament to the city of Philadelphia: Theopeaker then referred to the arrangement of the building; the light and airy press-room, twenty _feet below the earth, unlike the dark, damp, , unwholesome wells generally found in printing offices of similar size, and the room in which the . Company were assembled, iu which two hundred .gas lights would be burning every night, and , the arrangements of which were conducive to the sanitary condition of the workmen who would inhabit it. Without indicating the aggregate cost of the building and appurtenances, he said that in its con struction somewhere about $300,000 had gone out into circulation among the bricklayers, the carpenters ' the locksmiths, the blacksmiths, the gas-fitters, the steam-fitters and the . machiL nista and other workmen of this community: In furnishing the building with machinery to do its work, somewhere in the neighborhood of $lOO,OOO more had gone into the machine-shops of this City. Thus, instead of being buried in kgrand , investment of an inactive kind these amounts had been spent in such a way as to put all these workshops, all 'these agencies of industry, in vigorous action. The five or six huudriAl thousand dollars invested in the recently, erected building had not been the profits of the Ledger for one year or for two years, as some might innoCently suppose [laughter], and_ the speaker warned his hearers, not to go to starting newspapers Vith any idea of suddenly acquiring such. wealth. (Renewed laughter.] In behalf of the owner of the structure, he said that the build ing was accepted from Mr. McArthur, Messrs. Dobbins and. the sub-cOntractors and 'workmen With feelings of great satieaction. THE ilAligt.T4 4'4. THE coNliNtliTAL. At the close of the cinerlionies at the building, the company adjourned to the Continental Hotel, where a magnificent banquet had been prepared for the entertainment of the distinguished guests. In.preparing for this banquet. the proprietors of the Continental had, a carte blanche, and in exec. -elation of the order. intrusted to them they suc .- seeded in preparing an, entertainment time like of - which has never been iteeti in Philadelphia. The splendid bAnquetting room of the Con tinental was lilted with the tables spread for the guestS.' One king table, with ten otters at right angleS With it, was the formation of the _tables, anti these were niag nilieently decorated with all that confectionery art and artistic taste could finnish, while all the' table furniture,of silver, was ofthe brightest and newest patterns. Flowers and pyramids inter spersed the elaborate constructions of confec tionery. On the main table a representation of the old hand-press contrasted with Hoe's last fast: and perhaps the most striking figure was a representation of the New Ledger Building, con strneted of material known only, to the chief cock; and'it was a capital' representation of the hilldje! , .' • The . decoratlons of the room were of a char acter to correspond with the tables and their coo tenth. The American flag was draped around the mole; with a centre-piece over the presiding officer's chair.. This centre-piece was an.arrange _went of the national colors .around the coat-of arms of Uie State, the whole forming a tableau of great beauty. • •". The Germania Orchestra was In attendance, and throughout the evening discoursed most ex, celint music. 'The Niaennerchor Societv was also prescilf, and during the pauses iu the tpeeehes, gave some of its best choruses in German and 'Enlisb. The Star Spangled Banner .wasespe cially noticed:: . About five hundred guests were seated at the tables, represeutatives of the press of the whole cottony, fuming one grand family, in which-all questions of politics were sunk in the universal recognition of the dignity of the profession to which They belonged. Mayor McMichael and after the disposition of the feast,' the ceremonies of the evening were opened by a prayer by Bitiltop Simpson, after which the pro-. ceectioga were inaugurated.. Mr...WIC - Michael said: , Ceneemen--Mr. Childs has asked me to occupy tibia otenlng the place which, as our host, under ordinary eircumstatioes he would be expected to JUL I have acceded to this request very cheerfully, net only beettUSe it' always gives rue pleasure to i oblige Mr. Childs, but, al , "lbeeause it seems to me proper that: someboty other thun himself should preside. The motives which have brought Aur together ate peculiar. We are the guests of Mr. Childs—bidden, by him to this Most generous and sumptuous feasts "but ,at the same time we. .have assembled not 'merely,. nor even :so much', • that he may do honor to us, as that we may do honor to him, or rather to the event it is hie,ob •ject to commemorate. It is well, therefore, that lie Should' be relieved from the embarrassments which this dual and in some respects incongru ous, positiontnight involve; and there aro obvious reasons, both Weird and professional, why I should take his seat. , In doing so, , of course, I commit myself to the double duty 'of speaking for him and for yolk.' First, the; gentlemen, in behalf of Mr. Childi, lot me say that he rejoices at your presence. For months past he has looked to the completion , of the new ledger Building as a crowning act in his career. No wonder, therefore, that he desired - to consummate its dedication to his future uses by suitable ceremonies. And -still . less wonder. ..that among. the most effectual methods of making the - occasion imposing and memorable he invited you, —you who are representatives of the great inte rests and industries and instrumentalities and ac— tivities of our country—you who typify its social, ppolitical Civil and military power—to join with him, and to all of you he returns his thanks for the cordial manner in which you hilt° • accepted his invitation. He is grateful—and he has cause to be gratefulthat so many gcnticdien, some of whom have come from a long distance, with no little personal inconvenience to,. themselVes, have so kindly responded to his call: He, is proud— and he has cease to be proud—thae.those . who now sit at these tables include so many foremost men of the land—foremost in arts and arms,fore most in the pursuits that illiistrate and adorn and fructify the placid days of peace, as well as the deeds, that intensify and;.symbolize the furious hours of. war. He knows—none knows better— that such a convocation, comprising so 'much worth and so much distinction, is a favor seldom enjoyed and never to be forgotten, and through meragain7and - again - and - ngain;h6 - offers - yOlf thanks and welcome. And now, gentlemen, having said this for Mr. Childs, I am sure I speak your sentiments as well as my dwn when I say that we think it is good for us to be here: If Mr. Childs, as none of us doubt, is glad to meet us„ we are glad of the opportunity he has given us to meet him. We are glad to see him eye to eye; glad to express to him, 'face •to face, the good will we entertain towards him, the respect in which we hold-his rare faculties and qualities, the admiration we feel for that concentrated and untiring energy which hail so often insured him success. For he has had remarkable success. Not to refer to other efforts, we know thetas a book-publisher be has achieved results that few besides himself could haA:e attained; as a newspaper publisher we have this afternoon had proof that he- haS achieved what none besides himself would Piave ventured to attempt. - I have seen it stated Ai biographies of Mr.. Childs that. for many 'ears his most cherished Wish was to obtain )osseesion of Ole Public Ledgo not unworthy of an honoralle ambition, and:he has realized it to his heart's coateut. The Ledger is a Philadelphia institution. Its commencement marked an epoch in our local history; in its pro gress it kas been identified with all our local movements. At the outset it was a startling no velty; now it, is a' recognized necessity. llow well I remember when - the first number that. was issued made its appearance. Thongli diminutive in . size; it was, as this fee simile shows a creditable journal from the beginning, alike in its mechani cal execution and its literary contents. And well it might be. Its publishers were three printers unusually skilled iu all that belonged to their call ing; its editor was a scholar of wide culture,a keen and bright observer, and a writer of uncommon fluency and force. Until Mr. Childs became its purchaser, two of its original proprietors con tinued to be its owners; until the death of its original editor, he continued to contribute to its columns. This, permanence was •and is charac teristic of Ledger. The men who devised it, like the man who now conducts it, were wise and farsighted, and they laid its foundations on au enduring basis. They intended it should last,and not allowing any temporary inducements to swerve Went from their purpose,.they persevered until it was accomplished. And it is a striking example of what patient application intelligently directed can do, that an apparentlyiiopeless un dertaking, begun with limited means, under serious disadvantages, has, within • the memory of. many Who hear • me, largely enriched Its projectors, and that the little obscure office in the old Arcade has been replaced by the palatial, establishment—sovast in its design, So. substantial in its structure, so ornate in its em bellishments and so perfect in its appointments— we have so recently visited and examined. For this last we are indebted to the 'munificence of Mr. Childs,. and while we of Philadelphia are under especial obligations for the beautiful edifice thus added to our city, his brethren of thnpress everywhere owe him gratitude and praise for the costly monument he has reared to the dignity, importance and value of our profession. An analysis of the life of a-newspaper like the Ledger, viewed in relation to the facts of its birth, the conditions of its growth, the forces which have controlled it, the power it has acquired, the influence it has exerted, and its general reaction , on the community from which it derives its sup port, would be an interesting and instructive study. But , suchan analysis cannot now be en tered on, at least not by me,for having . discharged my vicarious functions, my business is to bring forward others; mid not any longer to remain in the foregrounruyself. And just here I confess my difficulty occurs. With so many eminent per bons around me' I scarcely know . how or where to choose. Rut as I must begin some where, and as this is in a large measure a gather ing of journalists, met to 'celebrate ft triumph of journalism, I believe I cannot do better than ask my venerable friend Mr. Chandler, who so long and so ably upheld the fame of our craft, and who is the oldest member of the editorial frater nity now present, perhaps, now living, to raver us with whatever he may deem best adapted to the occasion, To this end, gentlemen, with the expression of an earnest hope that:the Closing years of his well-spent life may be as smooth and happy as his earli& and later. manhood was active and I propose The health of Joseph R. Chandler. • Hon. Jos. R. Chandler was then introduced. Be said Dr.-Young, In talking of himself, as a good ninny old people are apt to.do, without speaking very well, as he did, said, "I've been so long remembered, I'm forgot." It becomes •me rather to say, l have been so long iorgotten that ,this new recollection of me seems startling. In deed, I have been•for these last few years so dead to society—so burled iu private pursuits—that I had become quite a Sadducee In regard to my own resurrection to any public intercourse, and if I did not feel that I have a sort of personal in terest In all that concerns the public press, and at least a traditionary claim to your !recollection, I should be amazed at being summoned to this gathering, especially as I find myself among so ninny young "Pharaohs that know not Joseph." Deficient as must be my remarks in aught that canamuse or instruct this assembly; I shall task then patience less if', of the few moments which I ant to iise, I give a portion to the expression of Inv profound gratitude fur the kind manner in wide', you, my old friend and successor in -busi ness, have been pleasedjo refer to me and my lahors; and while 1 felicitate you and your friends upon your suceess and triumphs in all that you undertake, I congratulate myself -on the enjoy-. nieut of their kind esteem acid on your good , OPIUIOII, so IlatteriVy and so .beautifully ex- preSsed. • • But I ani called Up as one of, the pait—ofie Of the rusty links that connect theold.wlth the new —to speak of bygone tittles, and especially of the connection of this day's proceedings With the elder press of our city. Pardon me, ;or rather applaiid . Me; if I only gossip.a little, and-leave speeeh-making in better hands.. When 1 commenced connection with the new4mpers, nearly fifty years ago, the simple hand-press, that gave:two hundred and fifty im pressions an hour, sufficed fur all . demands.upon the office; but an increase of general interest and of business rendered necessary sonic additional means, and one new press after another was in . vented and used, till -fircally—and I suppose It is finally—came the "Hoe" press to take its place in a newspaper office—nay, to take the place of all others, and to do with a single machine, in an hoitrois much as a brigade of_ the others could aceoluplish in a day.

Before the Ledger appeared there Was a 'Calm in Ake, newspaper world that seerned to denote some coining agitation. Up to- that time I had seen nothing that :excited anxiety in me relative to my own interests. I could at. least keep „pace with others, and saw my subscription list slowly but steadily improving. But when the Ledger . sprazg into existence, there was in its manage ment, and in its general appearance, an .earnest nesa that seldom fails •of success, -when - backed by perseverance; and other 'schemes of a similar kind "in this city, seemed to feel, and confess and -sub mit to the supremacy, of the undertaking of Mr. Swain and his attachds. felt a little anxious, I (sinless, because I saw what the Still ',vas doing in . New York for itself, and, always distrustful of myself, I was solicitors about the influence of this new comer upon the United - States Gazelle. Like others, I could philosophize upon the ad vantages of rivalry and competition. But how was this competition : to affect me ? I had many friends ready and willing to aid me 14 their way; but there was only one business man in this city to whom I mentioned myplici tude. I asked him what he thought the effect the Ledger's success would have upon the large pa pers-of course, I mean the United States Gazette. That frielilivas Homy C. Carey—a man whose clear headlnd business habits made his opinions 'eminently valuable while his warm. heart would not allow him to withhold that advice when lie . believed it would do good. "The prosperity of the Ledger,"said Mr- Carey-"and rconsider that prosperity certain-the pcosperity of the Ledger will, as I think, restrain for a time your advance ment. It will not draw away your subscribers, 'hut for a time it will interfere with additions to the list. But the result will be, and that- before long, that the Ledger will educate a class Of readers that now seldom see a daily_p_apex„ruultheyavill__, licebille yoursubscribers." My own experience showed the jitstice of Mr. Carey's opinions, and it is probable that the large papers ofthe city, all that succeeded, owed much of their prosperity to the influence of the Ledger, assisted by their own enterprise and talents. 'For theyhave succeeded-succeeded be and all that them-andpreceded will, I hope, I. believe, con tinue to succeed. - "But." it will be asked, "is the Ledger still only the pedagogue that britigs readers to the other pa pers, or has it 'been content merely to direct the inclinations of the lowest form ?" the Ledgerh:o done the work which Mr. Carey mentioned. Cri der Ito old and able management - it scattered knoted.Created an appetite for newspaper reading-an appetite that was gratified by a larger press. „ But in doing that it • disclosed abilities fora higher office; and among the earliest results of the new reform the first great work of Mr. Childs was to take advantage of the general character which'the Ledger had obtained. as a teacher, so tiiat now, not only does it Conduct the scholar to the academy, but Mr. Childs has improved and elevated his establishment into the - dignity of a university. Therein he shows his mastership. It was much to discover the vast capabilities of the Ledger as it was a few. years ago.- It was more to 'give those capabilities. their highest directidn,ancl secure to the public and to- the proprietor objec tively and subjectively their incalcalable advan tagcs. 'lt was much in Mr. Swain to detect the exact wants of thepeople and so to supply that deficiency as to make himself and the establishment a ne cessity tcs the community It is =Ore in 3fr. Childs to seize - upon the great work of his prede cessor, and to make it respond to the ucw wants of the people, and to gratify an elevated taste by the very means by which that taste, had been cal _ tivated. Many of us recollect when the Ledger, in its diminutive size, was issued every morning from some obscure corner in the old Arcade, where that small beginning excited the smiles of some of the newspapernwners. • Well; - look at it - now- - not in its dimensions but hilts poWer to serve the public and enrich its owner- "The stone which the builder rejected has become the head of the corner." - Nay, more than that-vve iinprove on. Scriptural expressions in these days--,at has become the head of two corners,. -at least. For though the palatial structure at the corner of Sixth and Chestnut streets is now the Ledger home, still there is another. You may transfer thefornz.s to, Sisth street, but thespirit still lingers around Chestnut and Third. Even Mr. Childs may remove, but the old Ledger man will be rernem,bered for years in the Arcade' here. : a,Where, sir, fancy will people a sidewalk withthe legion of shoeless bare-headed boys, and their echo will still rend air with the cry of "Ledgee," "La:gee;" "Leger." 'And while they grow tall, and princely liberality , may pour out half a million upon Sixth and Chestnut streets, for a time at least Third street will be the veae s rated Delphi of the newsboy, though the oracle be removed. And to what cause or combination of causes is due all the success of the Ledger 1 What has made it an institution valuable to ,our city with the "potentiality of wealth" to its proprietor? For this effect comes by cause. The 'answer is casilymade. It is due in the first place ton proper estimate of public wants-to the adop-- tion of a plan, and a_ steady _perseN•mance in the execution of.. that plan. The avowal of principles and the avoidance of party entangle ments. The determination to make the paper and not its editor -prominent;., to have no per sonal obligations to. repay; no private injuries to revenge through its columns. Boldness to argue against aristocrats' 'claims and effete ideas,and the greater courage to breast the temporary storm of popular displeasure; to have iiadepondrnee 'enough to ..ask Alexander to not intercept the sunshine; and prudent enough to appeal from Philip drunk to Philip sober. Liberality in views and experiences, will perfect and perpetuate What those causes have produced. --- These made the Ledger what it was in the hands of Swain, Abell .& Simmons. These, with the talents, means andenlarged patriotism, well kept up the Ledger to the advanced state of public opinion, and gaye it all-the benefit of that im proved general taste which it has itself wrought; while its prosperity, deserved and' shared by its contemporaiies,.will he the, occasion' of unenvi ous felicitation in all times, as -it - Ls tb-day the cause of unalloyed gratification in,the most princely festivity. lion. John T. Hoffman, of New York, was then introduced. He said Mr. Mager and Gentlernen:-1" 9.111 exceedingly gratified for the very kind manner in which you have been pleased to receive" my name. I, have come here to-night with great singleness,of pur pose, and yet iu a dual character, a sort Of dou ble entry laughteri-which reminds me of the Ledllerawhich is a sort of book-keeping name.

(Re newed laughter.] I have come.:hereA io a dual character, individually and personally, to express my regard. for' our worthy friend, Mr. Childs, whose character, enterprise,.iuteg-rity and ac tivity place him among the f . oremost men and things of his time.

Mr. Childs was a man of a cool head add warm 'heart (applause); a man -who- never drinks wino or makes speeches-happy he (great applause); a man whom men respect because he deserves it; a man who has a host of friends everywhere, be cause his mind is always employed for the best interests of lfumanity ; a man whose rising above party prejudices was constant as the waves of the ocean, to denounce wrong, expose error and de fend the right. (Applause.) There is a- great necessity for such..2mm as Mr. Childs,- honest, conscientious joiirnalists, who so steer their barque 'through the storms and tern peste„: of life as. to earn what all ought - to earn, the . anerited praise which all men ascribe to Bitch. The men who encourage the licentidus, who pander to the worsepassions of human nature, who uphold wrong and fail to • denounce error, who. advertise all manner of evil, while-society will encourage theta and take their a 'paper, it will leave them go through the world Without a friend and leave them - to pass through 1 It was n wish the gates of ea.. - nity without a regret.` [Ap plause. I It was because he believed that.the• steal timents-which he uttered were the sentiments of his friend Childs, that . Mr,. Hoffman,. breaking strong - personal engagements . , Came ,to Phila.k delphia to pay his, humble - tribute to the pre 7 / victor of the•Rbiladelphis Ledger.` 14 congrath ated the Leda er and its Owner upon their Epic, cess, and said that they deserved the praise which they received. On the Ledger building we no- Reed that a huge pen; eix feet long, did ditty as a vane. If by this,it was symbolized/that the course of the pape was fo turn„north., south, east rind west, to accord with the times, to fol low public sentiment, wherever the current of popular favor turned, it is a false...emblem; but if it is to signify that the power of the Ledger will always be to point out the, wa'y of truth, to es pollee the cause of the wronged and innocent, and to denounce the guilty' then it is well cho den. Then let it there remain forever, a monitor of the course of • the journal whose policy is al wa,ys to defend the right against the wrong. Mr. Hoffman eulogized the honest journalist, who, as George W. Childs had done, carefully distinguished between the liberty , and license ,of the press, and Who, while he discriminated von scientionsly between error and truth, regard d the family circle as the most sacred of all cir es, and paid It the highest meed of respect w ich man can pay to human associations. He el i by saying of Mr. Childs that he hoped that w en ~...lc a , at last the day-book of his life shall be closed, and its manifold entries posted, there shall be nothing written there bythepen of the great ,recording angel which the subject would be ashamed of, or which Mr. Childs will desire to have-.ex punged. General Meade, who was loudly called for and toasted said: ' - Notwithstanding the many occasions upon which he had been received, he felt still, deeply, the duty of expressing how grateful he should feel at being called upon when, there were pre sent so many eminent men from all sections of the country. He-felt sure that all present would AnaderatancLhow_grateful a dutylt was -in-him to respond to the toast for the Army'of the United States. What constituted that army? What composed the army of the• Union ? At the close of the great war, which now, under the blessing of God, has terminated, at the close of that war, statistics taken at the office of the Provost Mar shal General of the United States, show that there were nearly, a , million of men under arms. During the progress of that war there were nearly three millions of men tinder arms in the servich - of the country„ He.would say, there fore,'lluit, the army of the United States was the people of the United States: [Great applause.] From this great fact we see the solution of some of those problems which have so'much astonished European nations—the rapidity with which our armies Were raised and organized; the success with which they were i led to action, and, still more, the order and celerity with which these great masses laid down their arms and returned to the quiet pursuits of peace. It shows the - readiness with which our armies were raitod, and 'the facility with which they all returned , to civil life. -It shows that the army represented the sentiments of the'people, • and the readinesS with which the army always has done and is will ing to do duty for`the cause is siniply because the army is the exponent of the will of the people; and he thought that he could point with pride and gratitude to :"the army, entrusted with the most delicate duty ever committed to any army —the re-uniting and reknitting of tlic sections of ' the country—to the judgment and - moderation with which that duty was performed. , We know that there is no danger of any Prietorlau band usurping the liberties of our country, or any danger threatening the preservation of the, go vernment, because the army Is, the people; of the United States, and the government of the nation is their government. The General then adverted to the time when commanding the .A.rmy of the Potomac, the privi lege of selling newspapers to the soldiers was sold at auction and the right was purchased for $5O a day. The proceeds were devoted to the purchase of stores for the sick soldiers, and after ' all the necessities of the sick had_ been provided, there were $lO,OOO remaining. which inured to the government fund for the invalids. The sol diers all bought the papers. They read the jour nals, and discriminated between the papers whic published sensational stories for false gain a those which detailed faithfully the service of th camp and field. Better than those at home did the soldiers judge,of the merits of the press. '. The General closed with a warm eulogy of the Ledger, which, under its past cud present man agement, never descended to sensational rumors, but truthfully narrated the marches made, the privations endured, the battles won.
