He did-not con sider that directors always represented the true views and wishes of stockholders; and to illus trate this, he cited the case of the Reading Rail road, the managers of . which, by some trick, had got control of the East Pennsylvania Railroad, and hod elected a lot of directors for that great corporation who owned hut three shares of stock apiece, which had been presented to them. Did anybody pretend or think that these directors truly represented the stockholders whose energies and moncy had built the road? 1 The motion of Mr. Rldgway was agreed to. It was proposed to amend by prohibiting the streets of any city or borough being used without the consent of the authorities. This was objected to; Mr, Bidgway Insisted, that some such . provision was incorporated, any steam company could build a road through every street in Phila delphia, but the Senate refused, by a vote of 15 to 14, to insert the amendment. Messrs. Rldgway, Connell and Nagle voted for the amendment and Mr. McCandless' voted against it. The bill passed to a third reading and was laid over.

This meetingbf gontlemati conuected with tho news paper profession, having beet Informed of the decease of William M. SwafD, who wasfornoarly twenty-nine years a newspaper publisher of great eminence, im portance, and usefulness, deems it, a duty to place upon record this testimonial of deep regret at the in telligcnce of his death.’. It is no unmeaning eulogy of a deceased associate and friend to ray that Mr: Swain was a man of the highest value to the newspaper World, and of supreme ability m all that related to his business,and in every food work which, as a publlO; spirited citizen, e deemed it his duty to assist and promote. Al though he wrote hut little himself,, his was the active and suggestivo mind in spreading before his fellow citizens many of, the sound .views on the business affairs of life that reached thb, pnbUo through the columns of his paper, whnt he wrote himself was al ways conspicuous for tho clearness and force with which he set forth controlling principles and rules of business action. He was a man of largo and varied information, cultivated by extensive reading and observation. Bis intellect, which was by nature one of great capacity, was logical and thoroughly disciplined by habits of deep thought and laborious and searching examina tion of every subject that wbb brought, before It. Ho . had a supreme reedrd for. the prmclplea of equal justice, and for sal rales conducing! to right and fair dealing among men. He wsb, 'moreover, a thorough mechanic, and master of.aU.thatrelated to the print ing business. These characteristics made him emi nently qualified for the proper conduct, of a public journal. It would be difficult to point ont a man who united them nll in so high adegree. It is said that the good deeds of men live after them, and those of Mr. Swain are of a kind that will cer tainly assort their true place in the memories of his brother journalists, and such as ought to live In the memories of his iellow-citizens, for his business la bors ahvayß tended to their advantage. To him they certainly owe, in the founding of the Pitbllc Ledger, a large share of the progress made in popularizing the newspaper presß of the city, and in conducting news papers on sound principles for the public good; to him they are indebted for the early development and Introduction of that valuable machine that so marvelously . increased the productive . power of the printing press; to his active and organizing mind they owo tho system and order, and facility, and dispatch, introduced under his adminis tration ot our magnetic' telegraph system: to his laudable practice of promoting whatever promised to be of great public utility they owe the successful Issue of the long and discouraging effort to keep down the price of paper for books and newspapers by Introduc ing a new material grown upon every American farm; and to him are the citizens of Philadelphia especially Indebted for his earnest, courageous, and successful efforts to introduce desirable reforms in their municipal and home affairs. His were works of large and broad utility and advantage, from which all society reaped the benefits, rather than those of individual and circumscribed beneficence. It was one of his ruling principles, that the best form of benevo lenco was that which enabled people to take care of themselves by their own labor, and to dispense with pauper charily, lie wnß, notwithstanding, a man of kind and tender and generous heart when the proper object presented itself, as many wtll know. The gentlemen comprising this meeting, therefore place on record this memorial of his character, and of deep regret that his bereaved family have lost the “ncad of their house,” and that Philadelphia has lost so valuable a citizen. The report of tho Committee was adopted, and also a resolution that the newspaper profession attend the funeral in a body. Before the resolutions were adopted, a number of addresses were made. John D. Watson said he had an acquaintance with Mr. Swain for many years,' and sufficient to know what be did for the profession. Ho was a peculiar man, and bad within liim a degree-of ability that com manded the respect even of those with whom he took no efforts to attach himself. He was,the architect of the Ledger. At the beginning of that enterprise, there was nothing he left undone to insure its success, commencing at “the case” ana con tinuing until the paper was established, lie possessed a mind of mechanical turn. He introduced tiie Hoe Press, and was foremost In all efforts to ira- Srove the machinery needed in a printing office. Mr. wain was always ready to second everything that looked towards the improvement of Philadelphia, and it was to him that our citizens owe many of its moat important adornments. Wr. William V. McKean followed. He knew Mr. Swain well, and remembered the whole of" his newspaper . career in this city. In 1830, as an office boy, he wits sent to see if Swain, Abe! & Simmons could be trusted with a small fount of type. He discovered that they were to be trusted; and he had followed the career of the paper from that day to tliis. It is a popular error that the Ledger was started without capital. Mr. Swain had §5,000, the earnings of his previous industrlons life. Mr. Sim mons and Mr. Abel had the earnings of their previous years. Their capital was not large, but ft was suf ficient to sustain themselves until they could place before this community what it most needed. Mr. Swain was a man of a good many scholarly attain ments, more than Is known by the profession, lie was conversant with the principles of law, and in this he had the advantage of a disciplinp incident to a course of legal Btudiee. An education of this kind Is of importance to a newspaper tiffin, and Mr. Swain was,, therefore, able to discuss intelligently all ques tions of public importance. Ho was a mathematician; he had mastered Undid at sixteen, and theßeattain nienls.iuade him the kind of man he was, and ho instinctively came to the conclusion that a newspaper could ho conducted upon the same principles laid down by the masters of mathematics and sagacious founders of the common law. He believed that if the, matter was true, it must sqmire with these and other Bound principles. He had tliecorrect views in regard to advertising- Besides having a mathematical mind, lie took to everything that was calculated to im prove machinery. When he first saw the Hoe Press, .ho was disponed to condemn it, from mathe matical principles; hut he examined it in all itH parts. As Eoon as the mechanical faculties of his mind took hold of it, lie saw that it would do, and he adopted it. He was among the first to lend assist ance to tiie Morse Telegrav h, and ut the outset lie en gaged that ail of the §5,000 allotted to Philadelphia should he taken. As President of the Telegraph Com pany, ids assistance was invaluable. He entered this as everything elec lie entered; he remodeled the inter nal arrangements and enforced the syßtem of secrecy, on the part of the operators, and prompt delivery by those entrusted with this duty. Now, secrecy is enjoined by law; hut he made it an essential before there waß any law. He also introduced uniformity and impartiality in ihe transaction of the hualneas by telegraphing as in his own biißincßß. These were the valuable services he rendered the telegraph system. When he entered it, all was looscucsb; when he left it, all waß order. i ■ Mr. William M. Runkle refereed to the fact that the Nikon family had endeavored to introduce Btraw paper L. Ohio, but failed. They came to Philadel phia, and, under the encouragement of Mr. Swain,sue-, *" CCC fled - - -v , . .• Mr. Thompson Westcott spoke of his connection with the Ledger while under Mr. Swain. At that time there were a series of expresses running to bring the news from Mexico. Mr. Swain was the originator of this, and thiß, no doubt, was the cause of directing his mind to the telegraph as a,greater facility in secur ing news lor the public. Ho at that time gave all his timb and energy to the introduction of telegraphing. His taste always ran towards the mechanical. Mr. Casper Souder referred to the great Interest manifested by Mr. ■ Swain in tho organization of a Preeß Club, calculated, as it waß, to drayy the mem bers of thcprofessioif-together. Mff. W. W. Harding cafied attention to the presence of Mr. Thornley, an lntlmato personal friend of Mr. Swain foi a quarter of a century, and expressed the hope that he would give the meeting the benefit of his intercourse with tho deceased. Mr. Thornley excused himself from any detailed re marks, hut merely desired to say that no man knew better than himself tho value of Mr. Swain’s friend ship and advice. Early in his mercantile career, Mr. Swain had given him advice in regard to the mode and extent of advertising, and the speaker's experience had shown that his business tact in this respect was . never excelled. Mr. Thornley closed with a touching allusion to the personal and friendly intercourse existing between nlroeelf and the deceased. The meeting then adjourned. The Improvement of Fairmount Park.—The Gummittees. an Water,.. Finance ►■sijurvay,. and City. Property, of City Councils, with tho Park Commis sioners, met last evening in the Common Council Chamber. The attendance was large. His honor the Mayor. President of the Park Commission, announced the object of the meeting, which was to take action relative to tho extension of Falrmount Park. Mr. Potter moved to enlarge tho limits of tho Park by including all tho ground from tho Schuylkill to Thirty-fifth street to Its intersection with Ridge avenue. Be Bald that the Improvement wifi loavo out all the breweries and take in only rural lands Ho thought the ground would not CoBt more than $1,600 per acre. i Mr. Cuvier remarked that considerable property In that section of tho city had been sold for $9OO per acre. Mr. Smith contended in favor of the fullest possible improvement Ho advocated a liberal compensation for the property of the,brewers on, the river bank, In ofdei to make tho improvement grand- and compre hensive. , ■ Mr. Potter's motion was debited at length’. ■ Colonel Page, A H.

Tiie justly celebrated remedy, advertised in an other column, is one of the standard remedies that has stood the test of nearly a quarter of a century, while its popularity is being continually increased. Unlike quack medicines that run for a brief period and are forgotten,'this one maim tains its standing, while its curative powers arc unsurpassed. Fiuid Extract of Buchu has forages past been a standard remedy, and been used in tno prepa ration oi many valuable medicines. Phvslcians now almost universally prescribe Ilelmbold’s pre paration, on account of its purity and • its excell ent properties, which are not found in the com mon iluld extracts. . * Some Singing Mice. Many years ago, says the San Francisco Times, the public of merry England were thrown into a state of intense excitement by the exhibition of a singing mouse, ancl before the astonishment caused by the cantillating rodent had subsided, a companion monstro sity, in the form of a whistling oyster, was announced. We are not quite clear whether the sybillatory bivalve kept his promise to the ear or not, but the singing mouse was a four-legged; furry fact. Since then domestic vermin, as well as marine shell-fish, have been mute, and it has been reserved for San, Francisco to discover, in the year 18(18, that the race of musical mice is not extinct. How the discovery came to be made we will now relate: For some days past the family of Mr. Louis R. Lull, residing on Post street, has been disturbed by very singular and unac countable noises, proceeding apparently from the ceding and the walls. The noises Were not the familiar squeaking of rats, or the shriller treble of mice, nor did they resemble in the least the .chirpings of crickets, or the utterance of any known in sects or vermin. They shifted their position, too, in a highly disturbing and incomprehen sible way, and for some time excited a good deal of special wonder. Suggestions as to the possibility of spiritual manifestations were made, but Mr. Lull refused to accept any ex planation, and at last determined to set a mouse-trap and see what he could catch. The next morning, on visiting the trap, he found a mouse in it, but what was his amaze ment when the little creature opened its mouth, and, raising its head, began to pipe away like a young canary. The mystery was solved —and he was the happy possessor of that lusus natune, a singing mouse. But the wonder did not cease here, for’ though the strange songster was caged, the singing was still heard from behind the walls. Again the trap was set, and another singing mouse captured. And still from behind the wainscot the cheerful voices of other mem bers of the family gave satisfactory evidence of the existence of what promises to be a whole race of singing mice. Mr. Lull had a little cage made for his captives, and placed them in the Pioneers’ Hall, where they wore visited in the course of the day by hundreds of citizens. There is no delusion or mystification about this matter. They mice (Jo sing—-the do not squeak. Their notes are like the pipings of a young canary just trying its voice ; and the little creatures throw up their heads and shake them from side to side, exactly as a bird does when singing. When (placed in the dark they will chirp and twitterso lordly that a person standing two rooms away can hear them plainly, and they sing in‘any position, sitting, standing, or hanging head downward from the wires of their cage. There is nothing peculiar in their appearance. They look just the same as other mice, but they have that within that passeth show. We trust that the California Academy of Natural Sciences will lose no time in calling a special meeting to investigate this extraordinary phenomenon, and that the members will bend the whole of their powerful intellect upon its explana tion. . > Bathing in tlie Itoad Oc** ■ Froni 6 wbrk recentlypublished in. Eng land, the annexed extract on the huoyanev of the waters atS3 the appearatice of the Dead Sea is taken:-, Though .in breadth . not ceedfne ten miles, the Dead Sea Beeins oQuna less to the eye when looking froto'th<3 i nd|th to the south, and the mti r mur of the . w aves as they break oh the • llint-strewn shores, 'to gether with the lines of drift-wood and frag ments of bitumen on the beach, .give to . its waters n ‘ resemblance . of, the ocean. Curious to experience the sensas tions of swimming in so cnriouß a sea, I put the tests to "various accounts or the ex treme buoyancy felt in it, and I whs 1 quickly convinced that there was no.exaggerattouln what Ibad heard." i found toe,,water-almost tepid, and so strong-that * the chief, difficulty was to keep Bufflciehtlysubmerged, the feet starting up in the air at every tigorous stroke. When floating, half the body rose above the surface, and, With a pillow, one might have slept upon the- water. ~ Alter a'., fame the strangeness of the sensatipn ia some measure disappeared,. and on . approaching the shore I carelessly dropped my feet to walk out —whenlo! as if a bladder had been attached to each heel, they flew upwards. The struggle to recover myself sent myhoad down; the hitter and briny stuff, from which, I hitherto guarded my head, noyr rushed lato my mouth, eyes, ears,and nose, and for one horrible moment the only doubt I had was whether I was to be drowned or poisoned. Coming to the surface, however, I swam to land, making no further attempt to walk on dead water, which, I am inclined to believe, is almost impossible.

ZQeetinK of Uie Bcconetructlou Coot- mines. Washington, Feb. 18.—Tho Reconstruction Committee held a meeting this morning. The first proposition for consideration was a proposi tion to remove the disabilities of Hr. Butler, cloiraing to be Ten nessee, and suspending, Ute'leat <ftttila.hu case... in order that Tib-might be admitted fe a scat in the House of Representatives. Mr. Brooks moved to include John Young Brown, of Kentucky, within the scope of the resolution, not because he considered Mr, Brown a rebel, bht because the House-baddeclared tb&t lie gave aid, and countenance and support to the rebellion, and was therefore ineligible to a 6eat, Mr. Butler and Mr. Brown thus being precluded from tbc House on similar grounds. Mr. Brooks's amendment was rejected by a party vote. •.; - ■ Hnriug the discussion it was said that John Youi g Brown had not asked to be pardoned. Mr. Brooks replied that was true, but the com mittee had decided to remove the disabilities lrom Gov. Orr, e.v-Goyernor Holden, and pine or ten tnade personal applicii tion fo¥ that purpose.' f ' Mr. Btevcns (Pa.) said the committee had acted too hastily on that subject, and desiring time to look luriherinW the su!jject,no’additianal acUon was taken upon it at this meeting. The bill yesterday introduced by Mr. Bingham, for the admission of Alabama into the Union, was considered for a short lime. Mr. Stevens thought action ought to be delayed until thev could get all the facts. He was rather dlt-raiitfied with It, however, believing that a bill applicable to all the Southern States should be passed, instead of acting upon these States M'purnlelv. Mr. Stevens submitted a bill for the division of Texas into three States, providing that the Con vention about assembling in that State lix the 'boundaries of, the new States; and further, ■ that each, of them have the same Constitution. He said he thought there ought to be four or five Stales carved out of the Texas territory, but would be content with three. Mr. Stevens will report the 1 bill to the House so that it may be printed and referred back to the committee for revision it necessary. Mr. Higgins, a Freedman's Bureau officer, ap* peared and made complaint against General Gil lem, in connection with a court-inarlial which ac quitted a man named Johnson, charged with the murder of a negro. The narration was listened to attentively, but led tone action on tho part of the Committee, A Sub-Committee of the Wavs and Mean* Committee Is in session to attend to. the details and phraseology of the new tax bill, which will not bo reported for several weeks to come.
