The dead-lock between the Trustees of the and the firemen employed therein still continues, and the prospect of a satisfac tory settlement is hindered by the fact that there is not a quorum of the Trustees in the city, and because new men, who would ue willing to go to work at present prices, are afraid to engage tor fear of personal violence towards them. The police should be able to take charge of the last phoße of the difficulty. As’ regards the want of a quorum in the Board of Trustees, the getting over that diffi culty depends upon contingencies that we know nothing abont It is at least certain that the old workmer are firm in their determination to hold out for the advance demanded, and as there is no gas stored to meet the usual demand, the city will be left in darkness to-night How long this condition of things will continue de pends upon ciroumstances. Meanwhile citi zens will have to depend upon the primitive candle, and the present generation will get a practical lesson upon the subject of light as it was understood thirty years ago. It seems absurd that a combination among a few workmen should leave a great city of 800,- 000 souls in darkness,and there must be a»d* ical defect in a system of management which leaves so important an interest without some authority competent to extricate it from such a dilemma. If the workmen are not suffi ciently well paid, there should be such an in crease given them as their services are ■worth, even although it does involve a rise in the price of gas. If they are sufficiently well paid, then there should be some competent power and authority to engage other men to take their places and to protect them while in the service of the Trust It would be dis graceful as well as most inconvenient if this condition of things should long continue. tVIDE S > KEETS. William PenD, fresh from the crowded, narrow streets of the London of his day, showed no little expansion of ideas in laying out the streets of Philadelphia upon their pre sent scale. But William Penn's brain never dreamed of the Philadelphia of to-day, and it is no wonder that with the enormous growth of the size and population of the city, the streets which were once ample for all the needs of the people, now look and really are narrow, cramped and altogether unsnited for the demands of modern times. The question of'gaining more width tor cur streets, both as to the side-walks and car- Jiage-ways, deserves the most earnest atten tion of the municipal authorities. If we lived linder Napoleonic rule, the contracted di mensions of Chestnut street, for example, would soon give way to such a noble boule vard as aaeh a thoroughfare should be. But we have no so great metnods of municipal im provement, and we must rely upon such partial measures as can be applied to the built up portion of the city, and such provi sions as can readily be made for the portion yet unimproved, to give Philadelphia that metropolitan appearance which her magni tude and importance as the second city of the Union demand. In the built portion of the city there is op portunity for great reform, and this may readily be accomplish ed ,by several means. Of course the very best thing that could be done would be the setting back of all new buildings at least five feet from the old build- ing line. The lots on ail the principal streets are amply deep to permit this recession with out the slightest practical loss to owners, while the a fine, broad side-walk is a de cided advantage, both to business and the appearance of any property. But there is a petty, shOrt-sighted, narrow-minded policy that grudges the slightest concession to the demands of the public welfare; and so we nee splendid new stores going up on Chestnut street and other streets, crowded out to the extreme line of the old buildings that dinh them, to the sacrifice of their own architec tural effect, and the great inconvenience of the public. Philadelphia has many fine feuildingß whose effect is utterly ruined by this practice. The Cathedral, on Logan Square, the residence of the late Dr. Jayne, on Cnest- BUt street, the church now being erected at Broad and Spruce, the Masonic Hall and countless other fine structures are utterly mined for want ot space in front of them. Where a new building is put up in a block of fine buildings there is a show of excuse for not receding from their line; but where mo dem improvements are just beginning there is no excuse whatever for continuing a prac tice so injurious to the appearance of the city, especially as a single example once estab lished would inevitably be followed by every one who had improvements to make in the came neighborhood. One reform should certainly be made in this direction. In many parts of the city there are liberal-minded citizens who are W'ious to improve their neighborhood, by im agreement to recede some specified dis tance from the building line, but whoso en terprise is orevented by the obstinacy, avarice or selfishti '.3 of some single property-owner, who chooses to monopolize every inch of the pidewalk that the law allows him. An “im provement” has recently been rrtide on Arch street, ' where a Bingle build —|Dg is projected, in the middle of a square, several feet in advance of the whole line of the block, completely de stroying the effect of the entire square. .- Whht we want is a law or ordinance, allow . -jag gome specified majority of owners in any given square to , regulate, by mutual agree ment, the distance which the whole front of buildings in that square shall recede from the legal- building line. The maj >rity should be »large one, but it should be made imjjossiole for any single property holder to control the width of the public side-walkß, by this dog- i in-the-manger _policy, that vrill neither im prove the city itself nor pernyt others to do so. ■ ** . Again, there is great room lor improvement in our domestic architecture. The projec tion of huge flights of marble steps, more than half-way across the sidewalks, is a nuis ance, and not a necessary one. Philadelphia has Wisely departed from many of tho stereo typed modes of life that her early fathers be queathed to her, but she still clings to some of her old notions which might well be dis pensed with, and among these is the notion that there is no way of getting into a house but by a high flight of stone or marble steps. In obedience to this an cient prejudice our side-walks are crowded down to a width which, for all practical pur poses, is only the distance between the curb stone and the door-steps. The architect and the property-owner who contribute to de monstrating that handsome and convenient residences can be built, with their entrances within the building line, 1 confer a great benefit upon the whole community. Finally, there should be no more streets opened on the old narrow guages. Tnis, at is under the direct control of tho city authorities. Philadelphia has not yet reached half her growth, and those who direct her affairs now should do bo with reference to her future greatness. They may do much toward making the Philadelphia of the next genera tion a splendid city, by doing all that they can now to widen the old streets and to make the new ones wide also. Here are two indispensables and one article of prime necessity, and it has taken mankind until thiß year of grace to acquire a reason ble knowledge of their value and to appre ciate them accordingly. Intact, when we enter an ill ventilated church, lecture room or concert hall, or get upon the verge of vertigo in a crowded railway car that has every breath of fresh air carefully excluded from it, as though it were poison, we think that the enlightened Americans of A. D. 1808 still have something to learn in respeet to fresh air. We have forty odd miles of atmosphere above us, and, as with all good gifts, Providence haß given us a hint to use it liberally by the abun dance of the supply. Dumb creatures wiDg the air and roam the fields revelling in the life-giving breath of heaven, while men, women and children mew them selves up in close churches, cars and homes, and sometimes have to submit to have their scanty supply of air poisoned by the exhala tions of reeking gutters and foul streets. We have yet something to learn upon the subject of pure air and plenty or it. We have greatly upon the wisdom of. our forefathers in respect to the use oi water, but we are still far behind the heathen Turk in respect to cleanliness.. Fifty years ago private bath tubs were rarer in Philadelphia than private galleries of the works of the old masters now are; but there still remains a wide field for improvement The masses need washing, the streets need washing more frequently than they receive it direct from the clouds of heaven, and the good Providence that has covered two-thirds of the earth’s surface with water pever designed that its creatures should swelter in sweat and dirt, or that homes and streets should stagnate and grow loul for the want of the purifying fluid. A bath in every decent bouse, public baths for the mil lion and a free use of the fire-plugs to purify the city kennels, are necessities of the times. God has abundantly supplied the means, and it only remains'for njan to..6tre|ch forth his hand and use them. While we have made reasonably fair pro gress in learning to appreciate and use pure air and wafer, we have made great strides in respect to the employment of ice. We have no statistics at hand, but it will scarcely be I rash to say that the daily consumption ol ice in Philadelphia at this time is greater than the consumption of an entire twelve rmnth forty years ago. Ice cream was considered an effeminate luxury by our fathers, iced drinks of all kinds were looked upon with suspicion, and the poor fever patient had to put up with warm draughts and toss rest lessly in closely-sealed rooms while health giving breezes were at hand, and each suc ceeding winter was supplying mountains of ice for just such emergencies. It iB beyond question that the free use of ice during the | summer months has greatly reduced the rate ! of mortality. Fever patients who used to be Bichened with warm drinks are now regaled with iced draughts, and in many diseases ice itself is freely administered, and the happy effects are seen in more speedy and more certain cures. Another important use to which ice is applied is the preservation of food, and the present generation can eat their meat, butter and fish in a condition of excel lence that was almost impossible in the days when Moliere was the only Philadelphia dealer in ice and when refrigerators were unknown. Not very many years ago, when the first cargo of ice was sent to New Orleans, the Board of Health, at the instigation of the medical faculty of the Crescent City, threw it ajl into the Mississippi! Now it is justly deemed moßt precious as a preventive of and cure for the diseases of the region. Air, water and ice are among the most abundant and most precious of the gifts of Divine beneficence; we are making fair pro gress in the way of appreciating and using these blessings; but there is room for a still wider spread of intelligence in respect to their excellence, and there are wide fields where they might all be used with great profit and advantage. gain of At all seasons, but especially in hot weather, when there is danger of sudden sickaes3 i families should be supplied with a good, sim pie and intelligible manual of medical advice. No book of this kind that has come under our notice equals the late publication of John Wyeth &JBxother, of this city, called “The Family Adviser and Guide to the Medicine Cheßt.” It has been prepared by a well known practising physinan of this city, and he has condensed in the little volume a very great amount of useful advice aB to tue treat ment of mild diseases, that scarcely require a i physician; as to the course t > follow in sud den and severe attacks before a physician THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN— PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, JULY 17,1868. AIB, WATEB, ICE. can be called; as to the use of baths, plasters, poultices, &c.; as to the food proper for infants and the sick, and as to the manage ment of the sick room, with respect to atr, light, quiet, cleanliness, disinfection. &c. The quantity as well as the quality of the advice is surprising, when the small size of the volume is considered, and it is a book that iB sure to prove usetnl in every family. Dv.ring three days of the present week no less than two hundred and fifty persons died in the city of New York from the direct in fluence of the heat. This awful aggregate is made up without counting tho hundreds who have succumbed and will yet succumb through the various diseases incident to the summer season —diseases that are not neces sarily fatal, but that will be rendered so by the furious heat of the weather and by the want of the common appliances to secure health and comfort. Every one who know B the character of the wretched tenemeat houses and of the foul lanes and alleys that are the only homes, or rather the abidiug places, for so large a portion of the people of New York,will readily understand why death should garner so full a harvest of mortality in seasons when a torrid heat adds to the miseries of the lives of the poor of New York. The average, direct mortality from the heat has been fully three times greater in New York than in this city; while the population of the “metropolis” is not more than about thirty per cent, in excess ol that of our. own city. These facts and figures abundantly demon strate the advantages, as a mere question of health, possessed by Philadelphia over New York'as a place of residence. It is only the magnificent geogr&chicaljjpositioa of New York, with frequeUY'iea breezes, wafted through its crowded and filthy streets, that saves it from being the most unhealthy city on the continent at all seasons of tho year. In fact there is not a city where yellow fever is a yearly visitor whose average yearly bills of mortality will not compare favorably with those of the great Babylon on the Hudson. The British Parliament has passed the Reform bill, it promisee to abolish the Estab lished Church in Ireland, and it has already laken favorable action upon a proposition to purchase or erect a palace for the Prince of Wales in Ireland. Tuese measures are all intended for sops to the Fenian Cerberus; but whether Put will stop his growling'because ot these concessions is an open question. The project of a royal residence in Ireland, as a tranquilizing measure, is eminently worthy of John Bull. That bovine gentle man is so wedded to royalty that he looks upon i’. as a sovereign remedy fer all the ills that States are heir to; but the wearers, of the Shamrock may not choose to take the same view of it. The fact is, unless the signs of the times are wrongly interpreted, the great mass of the Irish., piople would rather have less of English royalty than more of the Prince of Wales. The experiment seems to be on the “aimilia similibue curantur" principle. The Hartford Post republishes a report of a peculiar speech made by General Frank Blair, in that city last year. By way of ex planation of the peculiarities of the,speech it furnishes ihe following copy of his biil at the Allyn House for a two days’ stay: “Two days’ board, $10; lemons and whisky, $O5; total, $75.” “Oh monstrous! but a halfpenny worth of bread to this intolerable deal of sack!” TO THE PUBLIC. The Engineer of the Philadtlphia Ga« Works respect fully requeate the citizens to supply themselves for a fow ulghts with candles or other artificial light, as the strike among the workmen still continues, and the supply of Gas has been exhausted.

Autoona, Pa., July 17—The railroad bridge across tho Susquehanna river, sir miles west of Harrisburg, was discovered to be on Are about 3 o’clock this morning, and before it could be ex tinguished five spans of tho bridge were destroyed. There will be no delay to trains or any transfer of passengers or baggage in consequence of this occurrence, as the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany controls two bridges, one west and one east of that point, by which trains can bo passed without delay. Tho firo Is supposed to have ori ginated from a spark from the engine of the Baltimore Express west, which passed over the bridge a few moments before tho fire was discov ered. The damage will be repaired at once, and preparations have already commenced. From M. Fouls. St. Louis, July 17.—A strike occurred yester day among the passenger engineers of tho Mis souri Pacific Railroad, in consequence of addi tional duties being Imposed upon them, and they were discharged and new ones put on. Some riotous proceedings took place to-day, several of tho old employe's attacking the new men. In consequence of violent demonstrations being made against the property of the company, tho polico were called out and the disturbance quelled. Everything will probably go on smoothly again in a day or two. No attempt was made on the part of the company to redace wages, although they claim to be -paying more than other roads running out of Bt. Loais for far less labor. niissoarl Repnbl.n»n Convention.

July 17.— There Is an abatement of the excessive heat, and it is fortunate, for the suffering, sickness and mortality were becoming frightful. i Tile deaths in this city and its neigb bors.yeeterday, from excessive heat, were m ire numerous l bun on any other day. From Mon day morning to noon yesterday, the total of deatbß reported was 74 <, and at least 3IKJ of tbess were from Bun stroke, dec. The Morgue, or dead honse, in Twenty-six h street is a studv for a painter of realistic scenes. During these fatally hot days coffins are brought in here and are packed like sardines in a box. A brace of coroners ore in attendance all day and lato at night watching for the arrival of bodies blasted by the burning heat of the noon-day sun. These redly painted pine boxes heaped up In rank profusion in tiers, with a handful! of clotted and slimy hair, a putrid too or a decom posing finger sticking out of the interstices, or where the lids are raised a little, are enough to make a man sick at heart. There arc young children, old men, young girls, all ages, sexes, and qualities here festering and rotting in these old red boxes; and the warden himself be lieves that if the present mortality continnes he may, overwork, fall in a pine box himself. During the day large numbers of people visit the Morguo in dread uncertainty as to the fate of friends and relations, and the sickening anguish depicted on some of the women’s faees, when a body Is recognized, is sure to hannt a bystander for life. The coroners who are present take the thing as a matter of course: they are used to it, and can bear up bravely; but even a coroner may well be weak and have a full heart with looking at these cart loads of rotting humanity, which are rolling into this narrow space every hour of the long day, nne equally dismal night Nearly one hundred bodies have been brought in here this week, and the cry is still they come, increasing daily in numbers. The majority of the bodies, when brought to the Morgue, are unfit for identifica tion from their utter decomposition and ghast liness. Yesterday but four bodies were exposed to view on the marble Blabs, as tho features were Btill intact, to the observers. The death of Prof W. T. G. Morton,of Boston, renowned in the history ol ether and chloroform as anaesthetics, was very sad. He had been ill for some time, and recently arrived in this city, from Boston, with bis wife. On Wednesday evening, as they were returning from the Park, the Prolessor was sun-stricken at Luff’s, at One Hundred and Tenth street, where he was attended by Dr. Joseph G. Bhaw, of Third avenue. As the patient did not rally, he was removed to Bt. Luke’s Hospital, where death ensued from con gestion of the brain. Deceased was 48 years of age. Nine vessels arrived at this port yesterday, with a large number of emigrants. With two excep tions, the health of tho passengers had been re markably good. Tho steamship Celia, Captain Gleadell, of tbe London and New York line, had over 463 passengers, examination bv Dr. Reid resulted in the discovery that the smallpox hod broken out on board, but happily just before the vessel made her port; consequently no deaths have occurred. After the passengers have been vaccinated ond tho ship fumigated She will be permitted to come up. Tho ship Columbia, of the Black Ball line, arrived lust night with four hundred and seventy passengers. Five deaths occurred of Bbip fever, and a number of other cases are reported, none of which proved fatal. But eight are now confined in the hospital. The captains report tho heat at sea has been intenso. Margaret Welsh, who was sentenced to im prisonment for lite, for the murder of Po'lee jnan MeChesncy, In October last, was yesterday admitted to ball in the sum of 82,000. On an ap; peal to the General Term of the Supreme Court, in -June last, the judgment against her was re versed and a new trial ordered, pending which she wss returned from Sing Sing Prißon and con fined in the Tombs.' „ On Wednesday morning the, Croton Water pipe in Qno-hnndred-and-twenty-fifth street, be tween Fonrtb and Fifth avenues, burst, causing considerable damage. Yesterday morning the w ater pipe in 'One-hundred-and-twentietb street, , between Third and Fourth avenues, waa broken. There aro dow i,263 Mormons at Casilo Gar den awaiting transportation to Utah, and 2,100 more are expected fromEuropO soon. M. Romero and wife sailed in tbe Missouri,yes terday. for Havana. Tbe Chinese Embassy goes to Saratoga next week, and will remain at tbe Clarendon Hotel. The Norwegian bark Nordcap arrived in port recently, when Simon Paul Fares and Laver Netl eod, seamen, deserted from her. Nellson was arrested in this city, and Fares in Philadelphia, both men making a desperate resistance when overhauled. Yesterday morning Deputy Mar shals McCoy and Dwlre started tor the vessel with their prisoners, tbe bark then being anchored amid-stream, preparatory to sailing. When the rowboat containing the officers and tbe deserters cleared the wharf, the sailors made a frantic effort to overturn the boat; and so escape. They were overpowered, however, and shipped In safety. It is said that the prisoners will bo compelled to w'ork out tbe expense attending their capture. The Wild man of the fllanlton*. Tbe correspondent ot the Cleveland Plaindealer who famished the world, a few weeks since, with a graphic account of tbe discovery of a wild man, or gorilla, on one of the Manitou Islands of Lake Michigan, having found tbe subject growing on his hands, thus gets rid of the monster. In his second letter he states that his party of eight, with dogs, landed on the Island on the 19th of Jnne. He says: “It most have been 2 o’clock in the afternoon when the report of a gun from one of the ex ploring parlies gave ns notice that the unknown bod been discovered, and we all at once hastened to tbe spot. I was so fortunate as to be within a short distance of tbe scene of the discovery, and was soon upon tbe spot, and found two of our party parleying with something or somebody that they had chased into a tall beech tree. Hu description tallied exactly with that given in my former letter. It was a form that had an appear ance of a man, at least eight feet tali, entirely Daked, with his body covered with hair. His face had the appearance of intellectuality, his brow being quite high. His beard descended nearly to hU sto mach, and bis hair was disheveled and coarse; though I am of tho opinion that he coaid not hove been over six feet high, my companions differ with me. His language was perfectly un intelligible, sounding more like the growl of a bear than that of a human being. When we pointed our guns at him he would bowl, gnash bis-teelb, and run like a monkey higher ap tbe tree. Alter bolding a consultation of war, we concluded to adopt peaceful measures, and send ing for our basket of provisions and laying aside onr gnus, we, after an hour or more spent in conversing, induced the stranger to de scend tbe tree He bad no sooner strnck the ground than one of started for him, and, evidently frightened, he started upon a run we all following him closely. He gained rapidly upon ns, but the dog. overtaking him, he turned, and grasping tic animal by tbe throat, literally lore him to pieces Throwing the dog's carcass n| on the giooud with evident disgust, he again started toward the lake, where, as we arrived on the edge of the Sind, we saw hint throe himself fearlessly into the blue waters of Lik •Michigan. For a time he swam out boldly and gracefully bnt while 6omo of onr party went in qnest of 1.. boat those who remained to watch him saw him rise several limes in the water as though in ogonv, and then beheld him sink to rise no more, fie has gone. Who he was. what he was. or where he came from, no one will ever probably know. Borne person may.be able to trace nut all the facts of this Btrsngd creature’s file; I have merely endeavored to' give yon the tacts just as they occurred and jnst as they are ” ‘'Yours, J- R- Anderson.” prNAUCLA.Ii and COMMERCIAL, Tbe FhlUldelahti Bales at the Fhuadelt ran i 50 TJB 7 3-10 s Jy 10S£ SonoPennß lme 6s 100 8000 N Cen R fide 62 200 Scb NavSs 'B2 Tt 1000 Lehigb C-dld In 87 B all Acad Music 100 IS *b Penns H its oz), 20 sh do receipt 82fc 49 ah LehlgbVal R" 54)4 2ab do Its M*i 200 sb Catawo R Its 10 too «b Leh Nav Stk 21H 300 eh do s3O 21 ?, BETWEEN 1000 Pena Blme 6s ioa 1100 Penna 6s 1 eers 104 to 5000 Cam&Am Gs ’B9 6S 54U0 Clives new c 102% 900 do 102% loco N Pennaß6B 62 i 8EOOK1) 1000 UB5-205’65 Jycp 109% IUOO U S 10-40@ cp 107% 1000 Penn R lmir 6s b 5 100 1000 Penn 2d mtg 6a lu«) 6000 I>»h 6’e Gold In * 87 k7b ehNonisiownß b 5 68 PniLADELTDiA-Friday.

Where gold is intended for the eaynent of customs duties, however. Its sale must be exempted the impost, and this d'snnctlon can" be easily nude. Even if the tax failed to check materially the existing evils connected with the Gold Room it would bring in a considerable revenue, but lie piobabillty is th*tit would break tip the Gold Room as a speculative arena, and men in order to ev»de the tax. would have to buy and sell stealthily, and mcu r the attendant risks.

Washington. July 17. Senate — Mr. Sherman (Ohio) rose to a per sonal explanation, and reading from a recent ar ticle in the Herald , pronouncing his funding bill a monstrous job in the interest of the Treasury ring and his friends, Jay Cooko and others, he said that the bill gave no powor to the Secretary of the Treasury beyond what he already possesses, and that every section of the hill is restrictive upon his power; that nobodv from the Treasury was directly or indirectly ’for the passage of the bill; that Jay Cooke & Co. had never alluded to the subject in his presence, but on the contrary, all bankers and brokers were opposed to the bill .as tending to destroy their vocation; that so far as ho (Bherman) knew, he had never done anything to promote the interest of Jay Cooke, though a personal friend, who, if he had made a fortune,had done it by honorable means, and not altogether from Government securities, though employed by three suctjesslve Secretaries of the Treasury in the sale of bonds; that Jay Cook & Co. were not responsible for this measure. Ha repelled the assertion of the article that the hill had been shoved through in an under hand manner without culling the yeas and "nays saying the Senate was aware that he had never called it up except after full no tice and it was passed after the most mature deliberation. This attack was simply a device to defeat important measures before Congress. By the terms of the bill nobody could have a job, but all must be done by voluntary action in buying the bonds. In .justice to the Senate, to Joy Cooko & Co., to himself, he had made this statement; and “let me say ” he continued, “that no fears of imputations ot this kind shall prevent me from pursuing the even tenor of my way, which is to compel a reduction of tlie burdens of the debt, and lighten the burdens which now rest on the people." Mr. Trnmbnll presented a resolution of the Louisiana Legislature, ratifying the fourteenth constitutional amendment, and also the creden tials of Wm. Pitt Kellogg, Senator-elect for the • long term, and John 8. Harris, Senator-elect for the short term, who were sworn in.

A reply,; he said,/has already been sent td the United.

Tbo Amsterdam Projectile Frauds* [Special Despatch to the Phiia. Evening Bulletin.) Washington, July 17.—Mr. Howard to-day submitted a partial report of the investigations of the. Committee on Ordnance. The report embodies some more important points of testi mony, a vast mass of which is submitted and will' bo printed. The report charges General Dyer with being corruptly interested in contracts for supplying ordnance; and gives the evidence of the late ex- Governor Ford, who was “attorney” for a cer tain kind of shell called the “Amsterdam projec tile,” and who was-one- of- the-owners-of-itr-to the effect that Dyer, upon having bis claim to a share of the profits r about three per cent, recognized, awarded a contract to them for twenty thousand. \ of these projectiles for army use. From. Mr. Ford’s evidence it appears thifc. though he and the Other parties claimed to own this shell, and although Gen. Dyer setup a claim as itß inventor, it had never been pi tented; was not different‘from the ' elrendy in use, and there was nothing which, could he subjected to ownership or division ex-, ceptthe profits to be derived from a letting dfifc the contract. : Mrs. A. C. Dickton, wife of one of these eon-*) tractors,-who was present at some of the inter views with Dyer, testifies to the same facts. It is also proved that o company was organ ized in New York to raise $97,000 on the strength, of this arrangement with General Dyer. The Committee charge I?per with making nu merous and costly experiments with arms and ; projectiles since the war, with a view to his pri vate emolument; with neglecting and misrepre senting useful inventions, and with mutilating and destroying the records of his department, and the different arßenola, to eonceal his opera-, tions. They Bobmit in conclusion the following: Reiolvtd, By the Sonate of the United State* House of Kesentatlves concurring, that the Presi dent be resprcpectfully requested’to removo Major-General A. B.
