"SECRET CIRCULAR
, .
WHO is ALLUDED TO ?
!''tlti Perhaps some of our readers may oeuvre
endthe meaning of the following,docuinent,
rda ivory of which has just 'come into our pos
.. ession :,,..
,'.' tit To the Members of the Democratic Association
•: Al )f Persn'a--GENTLEsfax; You are called upon
y e
to elect, at the next stated meeting, the ofli
' .ers who are to serve for the ensuing year.
''. 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.

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

meant, judicial, legislative and, exemitiVe,
amounts to 174,480 square feet, and the aggre
gate of the floor room at present unappro
priated aniounts to .74,816 square' feet, all' of
which remains to be assigned hereafter, as the
business of the city may. increalie.
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.

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
