Folly-that coiturrem—ateeons s ess io n . After the close of our report, yesterday,the lowing hills were considered in the Senate: Th. bill to provide for the bolter security of ltVes cf p o sen g eis on' board nfrveslels propelled by steam. It requires that every steatfr vessel,. of over 100 tons, carrYing . passengers or freight, shall be supplied , with double action steam pumps as a.means of exhausting leaks, which shall be opermed:independent,of the machinery of the Vessel Airtended,to'idlOw the ''Partial use, in lieu of life-boats, of life-rafts and cork life-mattresses, with bread and water comport-, tnents; The, ;bill";amendatory 'an; fixing certain rules and regula tions for preventing collisions on the water, approved April 29th,.1804, declaring that articleell • and 13'. do not , apply to two ships, which must, if both. keep on their re spective courses, keep clear of each other, or where.a ship sees another ahead crossing her 'owncoprse;,htit to cases in which by day each ship Weis theinist of the other In a line' with her own, and,when4t night each sees both the side lights of the other. The billlo,reorganize the Marine Hospital Service and to .pro vide for 'the relief of sick and dis abled seamen was , considered. It autho rizes the creation 'of tt'' fund ler the • purpose named. Collectors of Customs are di rected to collect from vessel owners or mas ters, two cents , per day for every seamen on board United States vessels arriving from foreign ports, or on registered vessels in the coasting., tra de who shall have been employed on said vessel since she was last entered at any port of the United States, which said sum the master or owner is permitted to retain from the wages of said employes. The bill author izes the appointment by the Secretary of the Treasury of a Supervisory Surgeon of the Marine Hospital service, at a salary of $2,000, who .shall make monthly reports to the Secretary. The fund is to be employed under the direction of the Secretary of the Treasury for the relief of sick and disabled seamen. Mr. Hamlin moved to reduce the • assessment from 00 ,to 40 cents - per mouth, and remarked that' thse hospitals Were necessary,, in view of the iniprOvident character of sailors as a dais, that they were faithful defenders of the flag, and were justly regarded as the wards of a . generous govern ment. After a dischssion, the amendment was adopted and the bill passed: Mr. Morrill (Me.), from. the Committee of Conference of the two Houses on the , bill supplying defi-. cienciei in the appropriation for the Naval service, made :a report ' fixing the whole amount of appropriation at two million dollars, which•was concurred in. The fol lowing bills were also passed : To pay R. P. Parrott $12,198 35 for building an iron light house at Cape Canaveral, Florida., To admit free of duty certain printed ehromos of Indian paintings. To amend an act entitled an act to authorize the Secretary of the Treasitry to licenSe yachts. Mr. Wilson introduced a joint resolution directing that no speech not actually delivered in Congress shall be printed in the Globe, which was immediately passed. On motion of Mr. Chandler the New York and Washington Air-line Railroad bill was taken up. Pending its consideration,. the Senate went' into Executive session, and shortly after adjourned. In the House Mr. Butler (Mass.), from the Reconstruction Committee, reported back the Senate bill removing poli tical disabilities from between four and five hundred persons iu vari ous States. Some, eight of the persons .em braced bad been elected to office in Mississippi, and if this bill were not passed ? they would be disqualified. Mr. Whittemore offered, as air amendment, the*House bill embracing, about two thousand names. Mr. Logan, from: the Committee on Military Affairs, _on the subject of the sale of cadet appointments, reported that the Committee had taken testimony in the case of B: F. Whittemore, member of Congress from the First District of South Carolina, which testimony, together with the statement made to the com mittee by Mr. Whittemore in exculpation of himself, he submitted to the House. The committee having carefully considered the game, have come to the conclusion that in making the appointments to the Military and Naval Academies from the &strict represented by him, B. F. Whittemore had been influenced by improper considerations; they,therefore,sub mitted the folloWing resolution: " Resolved, That B. F. Whittemore, Representative in Congress from the First Congressional 'District of South Carolina, be, and is hereby expelled from his seat as . a • member of the House of Repreientatives in the Forty-first Congress." The Clerk then proceeded to read the testimony of Messrs. Cathcart, Dailey and P. H. Kegler, of New York;. General Schoeff, of Washington, and E. P. Brooks, newspaper correspondent, and the exculpatory statement made by Mr. Whittemore. ' The report and testimony and statement were read by the Clerk, the report being signed by Messrs. Logan, Cobb, Packard, Stoughton, Archer, Morgan, Slocum and Hoge. Mr. Logan, Chair man of the Committee, rose and said: The House had just heard read the evidence taken in the case of Mr. Whittemore, and the statements which that gentleman had submitted, to the Committee. lie had no' desire to preclude Mr. Whittemore from making any statement now to the House if' he -desired-,-bitt if Mr. Whittemore did not so de , sire, he (Mr. Logan) would not diseugs the question at all, but would leave it to the House to decide upon the evidence and explanations :,übmitted, the resolution which he had re ported, and which was the unanimous voice' of the Committee. Mr.'Butier, of Mass., pro posed the following resolution : " Resolved, • That B. F. Whittemore, a member of the House, be permitted to appear at the bar of the House on Tharsday next, after the morning hour, to be heard in his , defence, and show cause, if any he have, why sentence of expulsion should not be passed against him, as recommended by the Committee on Military Affairs; and that, iu the meantime, the evi dence be printed. " Ile said that, whatever might lie the impression of members on hearing the evidence read, and whatever may be the feeling with which they regarded the transac tion, it was but • due to themselves that they should give a hearing at the bar of the House to the party implicated, :at such a time, as short as might be and yet long enough for him to prepare himself, on that very momentous question to him, as well as to the House. After some remarks, Mr: Logan took the responsibility of saying for the committee that the committee was willing that the matter should, be set down for a hearing .at 2 o'clock an Wednesday. The previous ques tion was moved and seconded, and Mr. But ler's regolution was modified, directing M. Whittemore to appear at the bar of' the House at 2 o'clock on Wednesday next, and that the evidence be meanwhile printed. The resolu tion as modified was agreed to without any ne gative vote. The House then, at 5 o'clock, adjourned. ° Chesapeake and Ohlo Railroad Enter prime. Prominent among the great works of in ternal improvement now under construction must be ranked the extension of the Obese peake and Ohio Railroad from its present ter minus at the celebrated White Sulphur Springs of West Virginia to the Ohio River, at a point of most favorable navigation. Independently of a , similar amount of private capital, 'the State of Virginia expended upward of $5,000,- 000 before the war in aiding this great line, so a s to establish a short, easy, and economical pee of cormutpication between her unrivaled' harbor and the 'Western railroad and water lines. Nearly two-thirds of the necessary ex penditure has been made ; and under the ails- THE DAILY- FA VENING BULLETIY.--4HILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22,1870. pices of some eminent New Yor' railroad builders and capitalists, the road is soon to be completed. - By this line the distance between the gteat cities of the Ohio arid .Mlisissippi.. , - Valleys, and reliable ocean navigation will be' reduced, and at the Bailie time superior grades obtained for the transportation of Western products to the seaboard. The Kanawha Valley, through which the-road passes, abounds In' superlot cannel and splint coal, A hundred miles east, ' and less than a hundred miles west, also near the line 'of the road, are vast deposits of iron ores,, which specially need the latter 'coal - for the production of 'a perfect metal. • The local traffic froth this :source, as well as from the transportation of the products of the vast fer tile region between the Shenandoah and the Cumberland rivers—wheat, tobacco, live stock, timber, &c.onust be immense. The portion of the :road now in operation (227 miles) is already doing a satisfactory busi ness from local sources merely. When the line is Completed to the Ohio, it must, from its prominence, take rank of a great Through Line.

THE NEW CATHOLIG DOGMAS The lEcelesiastical (Vinous , in . the New Dogmatic Scheme Proposed to the (Ecumenical Council. BERLIN, Jan. 6.—The Augsburg Universal Gazette, frequently used by the Bavarian , Gov ernment as the medium .for making public intelligence respecting the Council at Rome, has published the Canones de Eeelesia, being that part of the Syllabus in the new dogmatic scheme laid before the Council expressed in a positive form. I give these canons from the German translation as follows: OF THE (MIMI OF CHRIST.' CANON I. Whoever says the religion of Christ consists and is expressed in no particular communiity established by Christ himself, but is duly observed and exercised by individuals for themselves without regard to any corn munity which is the true Chinch of Christ—let him be accursed. CNll.Whoeyer says the Church has received' from Christ no defined and unchange able constitution, but, like other communities of men, has been .subjected •to changes and alteiations in different times, or can be sub 'ected to them—let him be accursed. CANON M. Whoever says the Church of the livine promise is not an external and y , isible ‘omnmnity,but altogether internal and invisible let him be accursed. CANON IY.

' CANON V. Whoever says the Church. of Christ 'is not. a community altogether neces sary to eternal salvation, or, man eau be saved through the exercise of any religion—let him be accursed. CANON' VI. Whoever says that intolerance with Which the Catholic Church regards and condemns all religious sects that have separated from her, is not prescribed by divine law, or, as to the truth of religion only 'speculations and not certainty exist; and consequently all' reli gious sects should be tolerated by the Church —let him be accursed. CA ON VII. Whoever says even this Ciu►rch of Christ can sink in darkness or be polluted with errors throdgh which she may go astray lion► the blessed truth of the faith, depart from her original state, or, corrupt and degenerate, may cease to exist—let him be accursed. CANON VIII. Whoever says the existing Church of Christ is not the best and highest institution to • obtain salvation, but that an other is to be 'awaited through a uew and more perfect potiring out of the Holy Ghost—let him be accursed. CANON ix. Whoever says the infallibility of the Church is limited to that which is con tained in the Divine Revelation, and does not extend to other truths which are necessary that the treasure of the Revelation remain per fect—let him be accursed. CANO ' N X. Whoever says the Church is not a perfect society (societatem), but a collegiate body (collegivm), or, she is placed in the gene ral community or in the State in such a way as to be subject to temporal aulhority—let him be accursed. CANON XI. Whoever sayS the Church con secrated by (lod is a communityof equals (the bishops, indeed, have un office and a duty, but not a power of governing in themselves, con ferred-Upon them by the holy consecration, and which can be • freely exercised by them)—let him be accursed. CANON XII, Whoever says from Christ, our Lord and Saviour, power has only been granted to His Church to counsel and persuade and not to command by law and punish and compel the erring and stubborn by means of external condemnation and whole Some penalties—let him be accursed. CANON MIL Whoever• says the true Church of Christ, outside of which no one can be saved, is another than the one Holy Catholic and. Roman Apostolic Church—let hint be ac cursed. _ . CANON XIV.

CANON XV. Whoever says it is not through the consecration of Christ himself that Peter has continual successors in the primacy over' the entire Church, or the Roman Pope is not by virtue of Divine right the successor of Peter in this primacy—let him be accursed. CANON XVI. Whoever says the Roman Pope has only the office to superintend and conduct, but not full and supreme authority over the entire Church, or this his authority is not regular and immediate over all Churches —let him be accursed. CANON XVII. Whoever says an hidepend ent ecclesiastical authority like that which, ac cording to the dogma of the Catholic Church, has been imparted to her by Christ, and a sovereign civil authority cannot exist side by side in such a way that the rights of both be preserved—let him be accursed.

CANON XIX. Whoever says all laws exist- ing among men are derived from the political state; or, no authority exists outside of that so imparted—let him be accursed. CANON XX. Whoever says the sovereign rule for public and social actions, in the' laws of the political state, or in the public opinion of men, or the claims of the Church do not extend to these actions, whereby she can : express her- Self upon that which is allowed and - that which Is, tint allowed ; or, something can .be , allowed by Virtue of civil ight which is not allowed by divine or ecclesiastical right--4et, him be ac cursed. • • CAllorr XXI. Whoever says the laWs of the ChUrch have no abiding force . ' except so far as theY are confirmed by the sanctions of the civil authority, or the_civil-atitiitity has; by virtue of its sovereign jurisdiction,,the 'right to judge and condemn in cases of religion—let him be accursed. CITY,..IIULLFINIV. special meeting of the Board of School Controllers was held yesterday afternoon, at their room, Sixth said Adolph streets f to take action .on the rePort of the, Committee on Compulsory Education, appointe'd at the last Meeting,, M. Hall Stanton tu 'the chair. The committee reported an s ad to provide for the eitucation of children residing in the First School district of :Pennsylvania who have not and do not attend any public, private or paro chial school, and to require them to attend some public school, and for ascertaining the number of such children now living Within the limit ofof said district, and, for, other, ,purposes. A preanible then folloWS, setting forth that there are at least 20,000 children, :between six and eighteen years of ago, who have. not and. do not attend , any school, and who do not receive any instruction whatever; and that as ignorance is said to be the handmaid 'of vice,. and the absorption upon reaching their majority of a large number of such persons , into the body politic, with all the rights of citizenship, but with no proper fitness for the exercise. .and enjoyment of such privileges, cannot be otherwise than injurious to the best interests of society; and that it is the duty of a State to provide for ' the education of its children, in : order to prevent vice and to prOmote virtue, law and order. Then follows the enactment,: Section first re quires, that every person having under their control a child between the ages of six and sixteen years, residing in Philadelphia, shall annually send such child to some public school in said city for the period of atleast six months consecutively. For every neglect of such duty the party offending shall forfeit to the use of said city twenty dollars, suit for which may be brought by any citizen before any magis trate in the city, and recovered as in other suits, reserving to the party-tire- e ri4t , titt-tir-Igipeal. lf, however, it should be proved on the trial of any person that he or she was not able, by reason of poverty, to send such child to school, or that such child has been otherwise famished for a like period by an attention to some private or parochial school, with the ineans,of educa tion, or has already--acquired—the• ability to read and write with proper facility, or that his or her bodily or mental condition Is suckas to prevent attention at school or application to study for the period required, the penalty before mentioned shall not be incurred. The • second section prohibits the admit tance of children Co public schools who have not been vaccinated. The third section author izes the Mayor to furnish the Board of Control all the official facilities now possessed by him in ascertaining the number of children in at tendance at private or parochial schools, and those that do not attend any school at all. The fourth section gives the Board power to adopt such rules and regulations as, will enable, them to carry out the foregoing act. The fifth sec tion provides that the act shall not take effect until September 1, 1870. The report closes with a resolution that the • foregoing draft , be approved and forwarded to Harrisburg, and requests the President Of the Board to transmit to the Speakers of the respective Houses a communication stating that this Board will heartily approve the pas eof a law requiring that all children be tween eight and sixteen years of age, who re 'side in Philadelphia, and who do not attend some private or parochial school, shall be re quired to attend some public school in the said city. The report was ordered to be printed for the information of the members by a vote of 11 yeas to 8 nays. The Board then adjourned to meet on March 7. —Last evening an exhibition of stereopti con dissolving views was given at Horticul tural Hall, for the benefit of the Newsboys' Home, by Mr. 0. IL Willard. The hall was well filled, about 800 persons being present; and the exhibition passed off successfully until about 9 o'clock, when an intermission of ten minutes was announced. During this inter.'- 'mission the apparatus containing the gas used for producing the oxy-bydrogen light exploded, with a noise that was heard some distance from the building, and particularly among the audience in the Academy of Music, and creating the greatest consternation among the , au dience, a majority of whom rushed tor the door.' The gas had been turned off when the ex hibition commenced, so as to give a better eflect to the views, and when the explosion occurred the room was left in darkness, thtis augmenting the excitement, and causing many persons to cry out with fear, while a number attempted to quell the excitement by begging • the audience to be quiet, as all danger had passed.. Several ladies fainted, and a number of persons were slightly injured about the face and head, among whom was Dr. Hutchins.- - A hoy had his hair singed and one gentleman had his whiskers burned off by the gas. The glass in nearly all of the windows was • also broken, 'and'in the rush settees were over turned and broken. The alarm inside soon spread outside, and police officers rushed in and did much to wards quieting the audience, so that they could be dismissed in an orderly manner. SeVeral fire companies were attracted to the spot, a rumor having spread that the hall was on fire, but fortunately their services were not needed. The lantern used was placed in the middle aisle, and near the centre of the hall, the views being thrown upon a screen or curtain on the stage.. Near the lantern were two large gutta percha bags, one containing hydrogen and the other oxygen gas, and connected to the lantern by gutta-percha eubes. On both the bags were heavy weights, and it is supposed that some boys removed the weights from one of them, allowing the gaiS from one to mix with the other in undue proportions, thus causing the explosion. —The sources other than loans and taxes from which we derived our income for the past year were as follows: Highways, $38,577; City Railroads, $17,221 ; Water Rents, $842,444; Fines and Penalties, $4,525 ; Pawnbrokers' Licenses, $5,355 ; Gunpowder Licenses, $45; Theatrical Licenses, $900; Petroleum Licenses, $900; Prison, $21,000; Poor, $26,050; Health, $21,- 435 ; Police, $1,336 ; Sheriff, $1,173 ; City Solicitor, $36,415 ; Markets, $50,508; Wharves and • Landings, $58,339 ; City Property, $17,337; City Ice Boat, $1,937; Miscellaneous. $7,603 ; Park Commission, $6,- 772 ; Survey; $3;740 ; Interest on Bonds, etc., $1,615 ; Dividends on Stocks, etc.,5477,124; State Appropriation to Public Schools, $50,- 000; State Tax advanced in 1866, $277; In spectois of Steam Engines and Boilers, $lO, 856; Superintendent of Highways, T wenty second Ward, $17,369 ; Commissioners of South Street Bridge, $1,000; Discount on an ticipated payments of Temporary Loan, $162 ; Overpaid Interests returned, $11,007.
