''. The Special Committee of Fifteen, who re ported a Aeries of amendments to the Consti ., tution, at the last stated meeting, also, very ' . kindly, suggested (it is said) the name of the :- vandidate for the Presidency. They did eti . (it is said) unanimously ; and such ;.„ -.being the case, it was deemed best to present no , ~ other name in connection with this position, i *specially as the candidate announced his un willingness to enter into a contest for it. ' The candidate was (it is said) Chairman of the Committee of Fifteen. This would seem to conflict with, the, statement that the recOm " • mendation was made itneitimously, inasmuch as it would be utterly , at variance with the natural modesty of the candidate to recommend himself. Be the fact as it may, there is but one condi ;,,.. .date ;-and as you are debarred, by your, own action, from making • any other nominations, he will (as it is expected that you will all 'vote . . . for him) be elected unanimously.. We ought (perhaps) to congratulate our selves that the present condition of the Asso ' dation is 1,0 entirely satisfactory." The pri mary and chief object for which it was organ „. ins], seems to be still kept in view, and (pos ",,,sibly) the same gratifying results heretofore • achieved, may be looked for in the future. , . Animated, as the original founders undoubt edly were, by the best, motives, in carrying out their plans (it would seem), nevertheless, that they miscalculated as to the best means by which to secure and retain the confidence and Support of the Bustiguss and TAXPAYING 'por tion of the community. It has therefore been determined upon to take a new departure on the road to victory, and it is expected that you will all fall into line forthwith. Our candidate having been, until very re cently, so to speak . , "out of politics," at least apparenfly so, it would seem not inappropriate to give some hints, not so much concerning what he has, as what lie has not done .te en title him to the distinguished consideration now to be conferred. 'ln the first place, (it is said) that he has never held any public position, (school direc tor excepted) in the gift of the people. This would seem to indicate, either a very becom ing modesty, or something else. Being unfortunate enough,some years since, • to be defeated in the contest for the District- Attorneyship (it is said) ? he took no part sub sequently in the proceedings before the Legis lature looking to the.creation of the office of Assistant District-Attorney, which office (it is said) was intended for the defeated candi date. When the "late rebellion” broke out, and the"loyalisteinaugurated their crusade against State-rights "heresies,"-when Democratic devotion to the old fogy notions embodied in the Constitution, was regarded synonymous with " Treason,"—when "Copperheads had no rights a 'Patriot' was bound to respect"—when neither profit nor " honor" followed Demo cratic fawning, your 'candidate, like a good, loyal citizen, kept (it is said) aloof from all con nection with the open and avowed "enemies", of his country ;.and (it is said) that no one can point to a single word or act of his in •support of Democratic " Treason" agaitit the "Loyal" sentiment of the country. " ' When there was organized what was known as the "notorious Quarter SeSSIORS Ring" (to the breaking up of which our Association so greatly contributed), it is supposed that our candidate had no connection with it, al though there seems to be a pretty general impression 'on the public mind, that the chief engineers of that - so-called "disgraceful combination" were well known politicians of both political parties, none of whom (it is thought) sustained any serious pe cuniary loss in the management of it. Neither is ho (it is stlpposed) interested, in any way, with that other Ring—the Ring of Rings—" The Whisky Ring," although it is generally supposed that he sustains a very in timate political and professional, if not social relation to some of the principal spirits in this • powerful organization. • These are some of the reasons, negative though they be,which commend our candidate to the consideration of the. Association. It is believed (?j that with all the facts and circum stances before them, the members will come forward (every delinquent paying his back dues) in order to participate in the unanimous election of their future President. It is also believed (?) that there will be large accessions to the organization from the MER CANTILE and GENERAL BUSINESS COMMUNITY, who . wi,ll, it is believed (?) see, in this glorious consummation, the dawn of a new era in our municipal history, forshadowing, as it will, the Overthrow of all 'Rings" and "Cliques," and the beginning of an enlightened, economical and impartial administration of affairs. Should these results fail to be achieved, where shall the BLAME rest? Let those who may refuse to be convinced of the benefits of the change, now to be made, answer this question to their owu hearts and consciences. CITY BULLETIN. THE NEW PUBLIC BUILDINGS. The Walnut Street Buildings to be First . Erected. The Public Building Commission held a meeting this afternoon at their room, in the new Court-House, Wm. S. Stokley,Esq., Presi dent, in the chair. The model of the proposed buildings ; on the plan of Mr. McArthur,svas exhibited,aud was examined by the members of the Commission. Mr. Thomas U. Walter,Chairman of the Committee on Plans and Architecture, pre sented the following report : To the Board of Golnowsioners for the Erec tion of Publw Buildings—The Committee on "Plans and Ateliitectine" respectfully report —That in pursuance of their instructions they engaged the services of the architect of the accented design for the new Public. Buildings, Mr. John McArthur, Jr., to revise, modify and re-draw his plans throughout, so as to bring them into conformity with the views of the Committee and the ideas of the Commis sioners as tar as the sante have front thne to time been expressed. The revised designs are now completed, and are herewith submitted for the final action of the Commission. They are accompanied by a wooden model prepared by order of the Board. This model will be timnd to illustrate the plans and to convey a general idea of the outside appearance of the buildings. The Committee have given particular and patient attention to the distribution and ar rangement of the interior, in view of the va rious objects and uses to which it will be ttp. propriated, and they are now prepared to say that complete and convenient accommoda tions are provided fOr all branches and depart ments of the municipal government, and that provision has been made for the free and con venient ingress and egress, and for the proper accommodation of all who may have business to transact with any of the departments. • The Courts are admirably accommodated. The court-rooms are of ample dimensions, and are well designed. Light, heat, ventila tion, acoustics and architectural effect have been carefully attended to. Theury -rooms, the rooms for consultation, the law-library, and all the offices and their appurtenances, are conveniently arranged, and well adapted to the purposes for which they are intended. • The chambers for the Select and Common Councils are grand and imposing, and the, offices, lobbies, retiring-rooms, and other ac Commodations pertaining to this branch of the public service are' spacious and conve nient. , All other departments, bureaus and offices . . ) connected with the entire municipal &vent -4 ment, in . all its rand timitionS, arc amply pro ) vided for ; and an abundance of space is of forded, in well-ventilated apar.ments, . fur all t- the archives of the city.' All the rooms, balls ; corridors and lobbies are well lighted by windows from the outside; well ventilated and well warmed, and every t part of the buildings trill be strictly and abso k . lutely•iirepical. , ; In addition to tic sip ace at present required if it the full accommodation of the municipal ' ' iVernment, there rill he a large sat phis of ti o i ' in in the building for future use.

Aritegards the exterior, Mr. McArthur his, made a careful and well-studied revision of his deSign, by which ho , has rendered it entirely satisfactory to the.committee. They are of the opinion that, as an architeetural composition it is in complete nee - Mil - With the purposes of the buildings and with the prevailing taste of the ago. The low of Councils, under which the Com missioners are acting,' requires that they Shall, • determine upon and adopt a plan at. any time during the year 18&q: That • they shall there upon determine what' portion of said plan shall be first executed. That they shall ad vcrtise, for at least two weeks, in one or more., newspapers, for proposals for the erection of the portionso decided upon. That they shall award the contractor contracts to the lowest and best bidders, requiring ample seOurity ;. and that they shall thereupon proceed to make the contract, or contracts, the form of which being first approved by the City Solicitor. The Commission is therefore obligated by the express terms of the law, first, to adopt a plan betore the close of the present year. In order to accomplish this' the Committee have engrossed the undivided time and energies of the architect, and they have now to say that the work of revision is completed, and the drawings and model are before' you in time for action, within the limits prescribed by The next provision of the law requires the Commissioners to determine what portion of such plan as they may adopt shall be first executed. The Committee are of the opinion thatthe buildings on Walnut street should be the first to be erected. The-eight court-rooms, with the law library, and all the offices, and accommodations connected with the courts, are in this portion of the structure ; it is there fore desirable, in view of the condition of the rooms now occupied by the -courts and their officers, that the judiciary department of the city government be the first to be provided for. It should also be remarked that by af fording accommodations for the courts and their officers, the buildings they now occupy will be vacated, and may all be taken down, and the old materials used in the buildings re maining to be executed.' In view, however, of the present high prices of everything connected with building, the Committee are not in favor of putting the whole of the 'Walnut street portion, of the work under contract at the present time; they are of the opinion that it would be to the in- terest of the city to enter into contract or con tracts for such parts only as may be executed' during the ensuing year. With a view to fulfil the terms of the law in' such a manner as shall best subserve the ,in terests of the city, the Committee ask the pas-' sage of the annexed resolutions. . All of which is respectfully submitted. THOMAS U. WALTER, STUICkLAND ICNEAss, .1 FREDERICK,GRAFE, JAMES V. WATSON,W 'JAMES PAGE, ' • JOHN ROBBINS, • • JAMES H. (ONE, • JAMES WATSON, JOHN MCCARTHY. Pnii,ADELmii.A., December 27, 1869. Resolved, Teat the design for the new Public Buildings, submitted by the " Committee on Plans and Architecture," be and the same is hereby adopted. Resolved, That the Walnut street portion of the buildings be the first to be, erected. Resolved, - That the - '" Committee on *Con tracts?' be directed to adVertise, in accordance with the second section of the ordinance "to provide for the erection of public buildings," for proposals for such materials and ,labor as may be required in the excavation of the 'cel lars of the Walnut street portion of the build ings, and in constructing the foundations, the cellar walls, and the walls of the basement, as high as the surface of the ground ; and that the terms and conditions upon which the con tract or contracts will be made be specified iu the advertisements, as provided for by the third section of the aforesaid ordinance. The first resolution was read. Mr. Dickinson said that he would like to have an opportunity to examine these plans, and therefore,moved to postpone the resolu tion. Mr. Robbins remarked that there was scarce ly time for an adjourned meeting. The or dinance creating the Commission requires a plan.to be adopted during the year 1869. Billington thought that the greatest bar rier to the erection of the buildings is the ne glect of City Councih to levy the tax to pro vide the means to pay for the work. Mr. Spering said that it is probable that very little expense will be incurred during next year, and City Councils will no doubt provide for it by a loan or a special building tax. This Commission has nothing to do with money matters, however. Councils may dis approve of the plans, and until that is done the Commission should go on with its work. Mr. Dickinson did not like to be compelled to vote for or against this resolution. Those plans were not those for which the first pre mium had been given, but were altogether other plans, and he had had no opportunity to examine them. The motion to postpone was not agreed to. Billington.said that he would like to examine these plans. It seems that the only duty of the Commission now is to agree to whatever may be reported by the Committee on Plans and Architecture. The members were told that it was all right, and then the reports were adopted. It appeared to him that this committec possessed more power than any committee of any legislative body that he ever knew of. The first resolution was then adopted by the following vote : YEAS—Day, Gillingham Graff, Kneass, Mc- Carthy, Orne; Pugh, Itobbin4, Spering, Wal ter, Jas. S. Watson, Jas. V. Watson-12. NAYS—Billington;Dieltnison, Miller--41. Messrs. Dickinson and Miller explained that they voted nay because they had not had time to examine the plans. The other resolutions were then adopted. Mr. Rribbinii nioved that the Chairman of the Comtnittee on Plans and Architecture be autheriz.ed to have photographs taken of the plans, for presentation to inembero of ,Cpun eds. Agreed to. After considerable discussion, it was agreed that City Councils shall be notified of the action of the Commission and asked for per mission to exhibit, the Models in Independence Adjourned 31 URDEILOUS —A young man named Chestnut; residing at Dauphin and Hope streets, was before Alderman Sines this morning, upon the charge of violently as saulting George Nixon, aged 12 years.
