EVENING BULLETIN.

CONNECTICUT.
It is hard work to overcome the Democra
tic majority of the city of New York._ That
interesting headquarters of the " untdrrifled
always has a flying column ready to throw
into the neighboring camps of New Jersey
or Connecticut and generally with telling
effect. The election yesterday, in Connecti
cut, resulted in the return of Governor Eng
lish, whose personal popularity was a strong
assistance to the imported vote. The sub
stantial result of the election, however, is a
Republican victory. It matters very little to
the country at large whether English or
Jewell is Governor, but it does mat
ter very much whether Senator Dixon'
successor be a Republican or a Democrat.
Dixon has been dragged over by the stronger
will of of the apostate Doolittle into the ranks
of the Democracy, and his successor is to be
chosen by the Legislature which was yester
day elected. That Legislature is strongly
Republican in both branches, and will take
care to send a true man to the United States
'Senate, in the place of Mr. Dixon, who has
forsworn all his pledges to his party. This is
the substantial advantage of yesterday's elec
tion; tnd it - is - a very satisfaptory one. It
would have been gratifying indeed, to have
congratulated the Republicans of Connecti
cut, who have made such a gallant fight,
upon a 'complete victory; but in that State
even a drawn battle is a Republican triumph,
and when there is added to that the gain of a
United States Senator, there is good reason to
feel that their exertions to redeem their State
from the traditional rule of the'Sham Demo
cracy have not been in vain.
THE ADM NIIVIIIAI lON OF JIIS E.
Judge Brewster yesterday made the usual
address of instruction to the Grand Jury upon
the opening of the April term of the Court
of Quarter Sessions. After giving the Grand
Jurors some general hints, with a view to ex=
pediting the business entrusted to their keep
ing, he stated some startling facts. Among
other things,he said that during the year 1867,
while the arrests in the city were nearly LOOO
a week, oily 45,861 cases
. ever 'reached the
Grand Juries. Of these, less than one-third
were convicted. It would seem, therefore,
that of all the persons arrested only about one
in every seventy-six is guilty, and that of all
the bills of indictment submitted to the Grand
Jury only one in ten results in conviction.
The Judge then went on to dilate upon the
pettiness of the ground-work of many of the
actions for assault and battery, which form
the bulk of the business of the Court. In this
connection he declared that he had known a
Grand Jury to return a true bill for lareeny
against a man who had borrowed a step
ladder and failed to return,it ; and in another
case true bills were returned upon cross com
plaints of assault and battery by two women
who encountered each other's brooms while
sweeping a gutter. The Judge considered itr
a reproach to justice that parties who have
cases of real merit should be kept waiting in
Court whilst its time is occupied with foolish
complaints and groundless accusations re
turned as true bills. He earnestly recom
mended the Grand Inquest to ignore all such
indictments.
Judge Brewster is too good a lawyer and
too faithful an administrator of the penal code
to find fault with the laws as they are placed
in his hands to he administered. Doubtless,
if his own private opinion was asked, he
would declare what scores of other sound
lawyers and good judges besides himself have
declared, that the jury system is overdone,
and that the great majority of cases that oc
cupy the time and attention of the Court of
Quarter Sessions should never be heard of
within its precincts. The existence of gross
ignorance, the indulgence of bitter prejudices
and violent passions, will, while the doors of
the courts of justice are open to all corners,
promote andsencourage a spirit of litigation,
and where there are no pressing re
sulting, consequences, there will be
a constant ' putting into operation of
`the costly and cumbersome machinery
of grand and petit juries, bills of indictment,
trials and acquittals, or convictions, as the
ease may be. The criminal courts long
since endeavored to break up this trivial
litigation by putting the costs upon the pros
ecutors, where palpable spite .and evident
personal malice formed the ground-work o r
the suit; but through the amiability or pre`
judices of jurors, the inability of ignoran t
prosecutors to pay costs, and the lack of ac
commodations in the county prison for de•
faulting debtors to the Commonwealth, this
plan has not proved an entire success. If
the costs were put upon the magistrates who
return such petty cases to court, the ends of
justice would be the better served, and the
system which Judge Brewster describes as
the "sending of cases to court to make costs,' ,
would be broken up. All this petty business
should be taken out of the Court of Quarter
Sessions, and there should be police magis
trates or judges competent to hear and de
cide upon all small cases of litigation, sup
ject to an appeal to a jury when the appel
lant is not content with the decision of the
magistrate, and where he is willing to incur
the cost of a jury trial, provided he is proved
to be in the wrong.
But there is another evil growing out of
this frequency; of petty cases of real and
technical assault and battery, and the vexa
tions which come of them. These abuses
have blinded legislators and magistrates to the
seriousness of offences against person, and
masea of infamous cruelty go almost entirely
ecatipt of justice because Courts and juries
have become wearied with the recital of
Aeries of crossed actions, crossed brooms
and uncertain sprinklings with dish-water.
There Are savage and brutal assaults that go
comparatively unpunished because some al
most miracle has preserved tho victim from
death and the assaulter from the gal
lows, while crimes against property
are punished with the utmost rigor. There
was an assault and,battery and robbery com
mitted on Saturday last, in the commission of
which the perpetrator threw, a handful of
Cayenne pepper into the eyes of a sales
woman before he stole her property. The
sufferer was almost maddened with pain, and
the utter loss of her eye-sight was threat
ened. Our humane laws, which take
better care of property 'than of per
son, of time-pieces than of eye-sight,
will make it necessary for the District-At
torney to try the offender on a charge of
larceny, rather than for the devilish crime
against person which threw his petty pil
fering into the shade. Were he to be tried
for assault and battery alone, he could, and
probably would, receive a very mild punish
ment, unless indeed, the jury should think
proper to consider the pepper-throwing a little
frolicsome preliminary to the helping him
self to Mrs. Redstreko's watches, and acquit
him altogether! The ancient laws of our
English ancestors, from whom we have bor
rowed most of our criminal jurisprudence,
hanged women and children for passing
bogus half-pence, white swaggering bullies
and coarse ruffians went scot-free. Our
penal code has undergone a very, material
improvement of late years; but there still re
mains room for rethrnis in the laws and in
the manlier of their administration.
THE GAINES CASE.
The final decision of the suit of Mrs. Gaines
against the City of New Orleans, by the
Supreme Court, terminates one of the most
extraordinary cases of litigation in the whole
history of civil jurispfudence. It is remark
able for the curiosity of the case itself; for the j.
large amount of property which it involves;
and for the wonderful display of enduring
pertinacity with which the plaintiff has de
voted her life to the prosecution of what has
long been held to be a hopeless cause. Seven
times has Mrs. Gaines pleaded her case
before the Supreme Court, sometimes
with partial success, sometimes with
none, until, at last, after forty years of in
cessant litigation, she has won the day and
established her claim to a large portion of
the city of New Orleans, valued, very mode
rately, at five millions of dollars. This fight"
has been fought by Mrs. Gaines single
handed. She has literally gone through tire
and flood; as she has travelled over the coun
try, always intent upon the one great busi
ness of her life. With a buoyand' of tem
perament that knew no abatement; with
an abiding faith in the justice of her
cause and of its ultimate success; with few—
friends and very limited means; with life slip
ping away under the long delays and slow
processes of the law, this truly remarkable
woman has persevered until she - has con
quered fortune.
A brief outline of this singular case will be
interesting to our readers : In 171)4, Zulime
nee Carri&e, a beautiful Creole of New Or
leans, married one Jerome des Granges, in
New Orleans. In 1802 or 1803,Danicl Clark,
a prominent citizen of New Orleans, became
attached to Madame des Granges, and,
about the same time, it is alleged
that it was discovered that des Oranges
had a wife living in France, and that,
the second marriag* thus proving
void, Daniel Clark privately married the lady
in Philadelphia. Of this marriage the present
plaintiff claims to have been born in Phila
delphia in 1802 or 1803. Her mother and
herself were committed to the care of her
father's friend and partner, Mr. Daniel W.
Coxe, of this city. She afterward became
an inmate of the family of Colonel Samuel
B. Davis, and was known among her school
fellows, some of whom still remember her,
as Myra Davis. When she grew up, it
became known to her that her true name
was Clark, and she has established the ex
istence of a will of Daniel Clark's acknow
ledging her as his legitimate daughter. Yet
her own mother, who, during Clark's, life
married M. Gardette, a well known citizen of
Philadelphia, was never summoned as a wit
ness by Mrs. Gaines, and her father, Daniel
Clark, during his wife's life, addressed Miss
Caton, of Baltimore, who, however, did not
accept his advances.
Myra Clark married Mr. William Wallaee
Whitney, of New York, by whom she had
two children, a son and daughter, - still living.
After Mr. Whitney's death she married Gen.
Edmund Pendleton Gaines,who died in 1849.
One child, the issue of her second marriage,
died in infancy.
Daniel Clark owned large tracts of ground
within the limits of New Orleans, which have
become immensely valuable. More than a
thousand suits have been instituted by Mrs.
Gaines to recover these properties, upon
which many of the finest improvements now
stand. The decision of the Supreme Court
only applies, directly, to three suits, but its
ruling will cover the whole ground.
This case has been one of singular intricacy,
and has turned, as will be seen by the above
brief statement, upon the question of the
legitimacy of Mrs. Gaines. It is but fair to
say that even now, after nearly forty years of
litigation, three of the ablest members of the
Supreme Court, Grier, Swayne and Miller,
dissent from the conclusions of the Court.
In dissenting from the favorable opinion of
the Court rendered in 18G0, Justice Grier
used this strong language :
"I wholly dissent from the opinion of the ma
jority of the Court in this case, both as to the
law and the facts. But Idg not think it neces
sary to vindicate my opinion by again presenting
to the public view a history of the scandalous
gossip which has been buried under the dust of
half century, and which a ,proppr teeling6of
delicacy should have suffered to remain
so; ' I therefore dismiss the 'Case, as I
hope, for the last 'time, with the 'single
remark, that if it be the law of Louisiana that a
will can be established by the dim recollections,
imaginations, or inventions of unite gossips, after
forty-five years, to disturb the titles and, posses
sions of bona fide purchasers, without notice, of
an apparently indefeasible legal title, "Band
nuident intideo, intror magis." (I do not indeed
envy your position,' but rather wonder ut it.)
THE WALE B SUP PEI .
A bill to destroy the manufacturing estab
lishments, on the Schuylkill, and to ruin or
drive away a bard-working population of
many thousands, has been very properly re
p6rfed against in the Legislature. If it had
been carried, there was a design to mako a
job of immense size and expense, in the con-
THE DAILY' EVENINGBULLETIN. ;-- PH I LADELIT I A , TUESDAY, .APRIL 7, 1868.
struction of a huge culvert, from Manayutik
et)
to a point below 'the Fairmount dam, into
which all drainage was to be emptied, and
this was evidently the ‘ •
motive of those who
advocated the measure. There was to he a
huge contract at first, to be followed by an
indefinite succession of contracts for repairs
of a work which would assuredly be destroyed
or badly,damaged at every freshet in the
river.
It has been demonstrated scientifically that.
notwithstanding the increase of manufactUres
on the Schuylkill, the water when it reaches
Fairmount is entirely pure and perfectly
healthful. The contemplated Park extension
will prevent any new factories from being
built near the city, and the water can thus be
kept pure forever. But even if this were not
the case, there are modes of preserving its
purity much simpler and cheaper than that
contemplated in the huge culvert job. That
proposed at a meeting of the manufacturers,
of conveying the pure water from above Flat
Rock dam by large main pipes to the forebay
at Fairmount, is most approved. But even
this does not appear to be necessary, as, ac
cording to the testimony of Mr. Frederick
Graeff, who is certainly qualified to give' an
opinion on the matter, "the amount of im
purity in the Schuylkill is at present rcally so
small when compared with the volume of
the • river, as to present objectionable
matter at Fairmount in so minute a quantity
that no chemical test, however delicate, can
ordinarily detect it." Recent analyses have
proved that the Fairmount water is more
free from impurities than that furnished to
New York, Bostoo or, any other of the large
cities. With suck evidence before them, the
Committee of the Legislaiure have reported
against the Proposed destruction of a great
manufacturing interest in which a• vast
amount'of Philadelphia capital is invested.
Through the efforts of parties interested in the
proposed big job;-the bill-has been recommit
ted; but we trust it will soon receive a final
quietus.
General Meade in Georgia and General'
bepberd in Alabania have issued orders for
the suppression of the Ku•Klux-Klan or
ganization. The orders of these energetic of
ficers are not mere idle talk; they mean de
termined action, and Generals M. and S. in
tend to hold to a strict responsibility all who
in any way aid the galvanized rebel horde in
their operations. The printers and newspaper
publishers who print their incendiary effusions
will be held to a strict responsibility, and all
who in any way give aid and comfort to these
rebel thugs will be severely punished. Civil
and military officers will also 'be held respon
sible for the peace and goody order of their
respective districts. The maudlin tenderness
towards traitors, that permitted the
Knights of the Golden Circle to or
ganize for the destruction of the
Union eight years ago; that stood supinely by
while Southern Statesmen insulted and defloi
Congress; that allowed the public property
to be seized throughout the South ; and that
left a gallant officer unrelieved in the harbor
of Charleston while rebel batteries sprung up
like mushrooms around him—has taught the
country a lesson that will not soon be for
gotten.. Generals Meade and. Shepherd will
receive the grateful thanks of every loyal
citizen for this prompt action, although it
will doubtless cost them' their commands is
the event of Andrew Johnson's escaping the
penalties of the crimes for which he Is now
on trial.

CELL No. 24, KING . :i COUNTY PENITENTIARY,
BRIX/KLYN, N. Y. March 16, 1868.—..1 dnaral R .
.Semmes—DEAß. :—I take the liberty of ade,
dressing you these few lines , to request you to
publish an appeal to our people in my behalf. I
have been a prisoner without trial since the 13tb,
of September, 1866, now over eighteen months.
God alone knows what I have suffered during
that time, subjected as I am to the
rules of a convict prison. My health is suffering
from long confinement, and my family are in the
most extreme poverty from my incarceration. I
think that there are some in your city who know
me as an officer of our navy, who will not refuse
to assist mu in my hour of need. I sadly need
money for legal expenses and for my family. If
I were released to-morrow I should be adrift
without a cent, for my imprisonment has ruined
me both in health and pocket.
I must beg leave to thank yen for the kind pre
cents which you were kind e nongh to send me
through the- hands of Mr. C., for at that time I
was in rags; but now, thank God, I am well su
plied with clothing and the necessaries of life,p
through the kindness of Col. A. W. Feute, of
Mississippi, who has proved himself to be a roal
brother and countryman in of hour of need. lie
has done everything in his power, but we need
money. I um also under many obligations to
General Loring, of Alabama, and others, for
their kindness.
I think, Sir, that if you will be kind enough to
publish an appeal to our people, that they will
be kind enough to hear the prayer of one who
tried to do his duty to our lost cause. I pray
God that they will, for I am tired, I can tell you,
of wasting my life in a prison. I am extremely
obliged to you for publishing my letter of
June, 1867. I do not thirik that any' of
my countrymen (southern) will refuse to hoar
my (begging) prayer for assistance from my
Sby b prison cell. lam not . ' allowed the news
papers, so I will trouble you to clip whatever
you see fit to publish and send it to me. Any
thing will safely reach me to my prison ad
dress.

The Proposed Railway on the Eastern

'lt has generally been supposed that it was
definitely determined to termluate this road at
Townsend, but the friends of the Middletown
terminus are not milling to give up their project.
The Middletown Tiwnscript publishes the pro
ceedings of a meeting bold at Sassafras, Kent
county, Maryland, Tuesday, the 24th ultimo, for
the purpose of concerting measures to build the
Kent Railroad from Massey's by way of
Sassafras and Warwick to Middlotosvn.
Forty thousand dollars had previously
been subscribed for that purpose, and
a committee was appointed to " raise
$16,000 more, making a total subscription of
$66,000, with which sum, one of the contractors
assured the'meeting, the road wouldbe "built—
the,eontraetors themselves, Messrs. Sears, liarrl
soli and Stratton, agreeing to supply the, re
mainder, about $24,090. Major Sears further
proposed to build the entire road, without a dol
lar of subscription money, or any uarantee.o f
three or six per cent., prvided the Directors Of
the Kent County Railroad', will execute to him 4
lease for ninetynine years. A committee was
appointed to lay the first proposition before the

(Special Despatch to the ?blind°!phis Evening Bulletin
by Franklin. Telegraph Company.)
MONTREAL, C.E., April 7.—The greatest excite
ment that has prevailed in this city for a long
time is that which displays itself this morning
over the news received from Ottawa at 2.50 A.M.,
relative to the Hon. Thomas D'Arey McGee, who
was shot dead on the steps 'of his residence at
thirty minutes pas; two o'clock.
Mr. McGee had jtist left the House in com
pany with some other members, and as he was
about applying the latch-key to the door of his
residence was shot from behind and instantly
killed. The assassin was sa close that the hair
of McGee's head was burned by the Mash from
the pistol which killed him.
Ottawa Is in a regular state of siege, and every
avenue is guarded, as It is supposed that the man
who did the shooting is an emissary from New
'fork, rind would, of course, - make -- the
greatest attempts to escape to that city. Mon
treal shows respect for the deceased by flying
flags at ball matt, and by other manifestations of
sorrow for her late statesman.
The wildest rumors are afloat and tend to in
crease the excitement . and alarm. Some, al
though not generally credited, say it is the work
of the Fenian, of whom Mr. McGee was a bitter
'enemy, imd by whom he was equally bated.
There is talk of another more on the
border and the next move expected is that the
troops will be calle.d out to repel any attack.
The majority of the Irish seem to be very cool
about the affair, arid this calmness on their part
only makes the authorities more suspicious.

Be*rox, April .7th.—.lll.as Lucy Stone, of New
Jersey, has volunteered her services in lobbying
the Women's Eights measure-, and this morning
the addressed the MasEachasetts House Ju
diciary Committee for two hour.. Her
views, as frequently " ' and previ
only declared, were reiterated with
much force and eloquence, and won the closest
attention of the committee and visitors. She
claimed, in brief, that her sex are not fairly
treated when they are taxed without representa
tion, and in Consequence of being unrepresented,
there are hundreds of laws existing in
every State which are . in defiance of
justice, morality and religion; but that all these
would be removed as soon as snffrage was
granted to the other sex. In support of her ar
guments she quoted from the statutes as they
exist, and frequently made her remarks spicy by
anecdotes and sarcasm upon those who denied
the rights which she claims as belonging to her
sex.
Mrs. P. A. Hanaford followed Miss Stoir'e
briefly, and also Mrs. Rev. Olympia Brown, the
pastor of a church in Weymouth, Mats., bona of
whom endorsed the views presented, and urged
upon the Committee to report a bill, and then, in
turn, to urge Its passage by the Legislature, If it
would distinguish itself with honor and reaown
for all coming time and earn the gratitude of an
unjustly oppressed 'sex.

In another murder. At ten o'clock last eveeing.
Louis Gardner, a German. twenty-one years of
age, who resided at No. 75 Forsyth street, had
beemattending a drill of the Ninty-sixtb. Regi
ment, National Guard, of which he was
a member. On his way home, about
midnight, in company with two friends, he
stopped in'the saloon of Patrick Bodkin, No.
100 Mott street. In the saloon there were
'
several young men; or rather boys, some of
whom were intoxicated. Gardner's party stepped
up to the bar, when one of the other party ap
proached Gardner and made some Insulting re
mark.. Gardner viewed the speaker, who was a
boy about 15 years of age, and dressed in dark
clothes, with some surprise, as he was a person
whom he'had never seen hefore,and replied to the
effect that he did not wish any difficulty with
him. Tho boy, without further parley,
drew a pocket dirk-knife, with which he
made a 'tinge at Gardner with such deadly aim
that the point of the blade entered the
heart. Exclaiming "I am stabbed," Gardner
fell forward upon his face, and when he reached,
the floor was dead. The assailant, at the moment
of withdrawing the knife, which he never re
leased from his grasp, made his escape from the
saloon, and up to 2 o'clock this morning. the
police bad not succeeded in finding any trace of
him. The Fourteenth Precinct .Police were
promptly on the scene and conveyed the body of
the murdered man to the Spring Street Station
House, where an inqueet will be held by the
Coroner. All the persons in the saloon vitro
taken to the Station House as witnesses, and
Capt. Garland, detaining the bar-keeper, released
the others.

About six o'clock last evening two young men
employed In the manufacture of ammonia at , the
chemical works of Mitchell & Fail, .51 Marshal
street,,were found dead, one lying hi a vat which
contained the solution and the other close beside
it. It appears from the position in which the
deceased were discovered that one of the men,
Leander Bolan, while at work must have
become overponiered by the exhalations
and fallen into the vat. The other, whose same
is Robert ;Walker, while endeavoring to extricate
Robin, also became overpowered and expired.
The bodies were discovered by Susan Langley, a
servant girl, who entered the building for the
purpose of summoning thodeceased,who boarded
in the house adjoining, to supper. She gave the
alarm and several parties came in and extricated,
the bodies, but life was extinct. Bolan is twenty
two years of age and a native of Maine.
Walker is eighteen years of age. Bolan
was married, and his wife, who is only sixteen
years of age, had just arrived from Maine to ,join
her husband. Sergeant Craft, of the Fortv-seeond
Precinct, assisted in the removal of the bodies of
'the unfortunate men, and notified the Coroner.
These chemical works it Is 'paid, have been re
ported to the Board of Health as a nuisance,
as
the stench occasioned by the manufacture of the
ammonia was almost uobearable. The inquest
will probably be held over the bodies to-day.

Aran, G.—The statement of the public debt for the
month of March issued to-day shows a decrease of a little
more than six and a half millions in the total amount
when compared with the February return but if the
amount in the. Treasury is deducted in each instance the
decrease is only $6114,935. About seventeen millions of
five-twenty bonds were issued during the month and a
little over seventeen millions of coven-thirty notes were
withdrawn, so that the convention movement wan very
evenly. balanced. Tlee other changes are unimportant.
The decrease in the debt bearing no interest is
di7,6F9,e7a, . but thin is owing to a reduc
tion •of the gold certificate of deposit from
525 a 9,3011 to $17.742,1/60. The .currency balance in the
Treasury hail increased leas.. than a million and a half,
while the coin has deerensed $78.437. A little more titian
a million and a half of the matured debt was presented
for payment during the month, and as the five per cent.
bends show an increase of $1.620.050 it is to ise inferred
that this amount of ten-forties was issued. The Navy
Pension fend was also increased one million. As de
apaiebes from ViTaahltiglon had led the public to expect a
considerable increase in the aggregate of the debt in this
return, it is an agreeable surprise to find that the case is
otherwise.
The week opened upon a very quiet money market,
neither lenders nor bo rowers being disposed to disturb
outstanding loans. Efforts were made to a limited extent
to payoff seven per cent. in coin loans and replace them
at the legel rate in currency but these were not generally
successful owing to the limited supply of funds at the di..
poled of lendets. IN err loans were made at 7 per cent. in
coin, in come instances, early in the day; hut afterwards,
owing to the limited demand, the result of restricted
transactinus on the Stock Exchange, this rate in currency
was accepted. It is easy to ACC, however, that until- Oa
banks are placed In a stronger Nisi ion than we at oresent
find them to be, by reason of a return flow of deposits
from the interior, en enlarged demand for money would
result in a corresponding degree of stringency, and bor.
rowers. foreseeing this, areunwilling to enter upon new
engagements before they feel assured of a moderately
ample aupply of funds. Although the drain towards
this centre has already set in, we shall pro
bably not have on easy money market prior
to the middle of the month. The stock market
did not respond to the change for the better referred to,
bitt was heavy and dull all r ay, while Pacific Mail do

with great determination through the recent stringency,

with great caution by the street, no in the event of the

as well as any consolidation of the hatter with any of
those compenies. The passage of this bill would he in
accordance with the public interests, while its defeat
would go to strengthen the hands of a monopoly of the
worst kind we have ever been threatened with. The
Chamber of Commerce fully recognized this fact in its
recent memorial to the Legislature. and public sentiment
utside of Well street endorses its view of - the muse.

Government securities were strong and in moderately

Treasury was not a buyer of seven-thirty notes. With
the gradual cooing UP of the money market governments
will (iota/S.I.ES exwiteee a corresponding improvement,
as they are decidedly cheap in comparison with railway
and miscellaneous stocks. The disbursement of the May
interest on the public debt will stimulate the demand
for them from inveators, and before the end of next
month prices will probably be three or four per cent.

ported favorably on the act exteaging the time of
the Receiver of Taxes of PWlplala.
Mr. Connell introduced an act to exempt tke

Mr. White, one authorizing s. change of venue
in certain cases of ejectment.
The Senate concurred in the House resolution
asking the Governor to return an act which
authorized the Auditor-General to deliver to the
Petroleum Bank of Titusville the United States
bonds which had been deposited by that institu
tion as security for its circulation.
The following. bills were considered :
The Senate bill exempting the Philadelphia
City Institute from taxation. Passed. The louse
bill preventing the placing of any fish-basket or
the fishing by net within one-half mile of any

over.
On motion of Messrs. Connell and McCandless,
the House bill providing for an Inspector of Illu
minating Gas was considered.. The bill, as it
came from the House, was that of Mr. Thorn,
containing no provision allowing the consumer
to contest exorbitant bills.
_ . .
Mr. McCandless moved to amend by adding
this provision, and by limiting the fees of in
spectors, and their number.
Mr. Connell said that this measure would
practically defeat tke bill by entrusting the deci
sionfin contested cases to aldermen who knew
nothing of the quality of gas.
Mr. Ridgway said that the effort of Mr.
McCandless was instigated by party feeling, and
that It originated with a lot of crazy Democrats
in City Councils who were opposed to the pre
sent trustees of thegas office, who were Republi
cans.
Mr. McCandless declared that the gas trust had
been robbing the people for years; that politics
did not enter into the question, and that under
the existing laws there was no appeal from ex
orbitant gas bills.
The amendment of Mr. McCandless was lost,
yeas 13, noes 18. A' party vote. The Dem
ocrat= voted in favor of the amendment.
Mr. McCandless moved to reduce the salary or
the Inspectors from;s3,ooo,as provided by the bill,
to $2OlO. Lost.
Mr. Ridgway then moved to fix the salary at
$2,600. Agreed to—ayes, 18 ; noes, 14.
Mr. McCandless moved to require the inspector
to test the gas once per month, and file such re
port in the office of the Mayor or proper authori
ties. Agreed to.
Mr. Connell offered an amendment requiring
the Inspectors to present certificates from the
Gas Trust before entering upon any private pro
perty. Agreed to.
Mr. Alcelandless offered an additional section
authorizing consumers to contest exorbitant bills
upongiving security before at Alderman.
Mr. Connell said that 248,Afibills were rendeipd
per annum, and that if only ten per cent. of these
were contested there would still be 24,800 suits
during the year.
Mr. Ridgway endorsed this, and said that un
der such a system the suits might be prolonged
for a year, the trusteeg, meanwhile, not receiving
enough money to carry on the works.
Mr. McCandless denied that seat would be the
effect of the amendment he proposed. On the
contrary,he had suggested the only way of check
ing exorbitant bills.
The amendment was lost.
