' Thd Councll of the Province met'in Phjin*
r . delphisj on’toe 18 th, of January, 1767, eight
members, including thoLloutcnant Governor,
being present. ; A message was read to the
Council informing, the incmbofs that His Mat
jesty, Gkoeoe 11., desired certain laws to bo
and it does not appear that the legis
lators thought it advisable to refuse to obey
the King. The Council also made arrange
rs merits to light.the city'of Philadelphia, and a
' tax was levied to pay fer the same. , The trioa-
Sdty'ef Pennsylvania was at that time com
.: pletoly bankrupt; '' ' ’
, It would seem, from thb record pf .tho Conn

the'pfovincp of Pennsylvania entertained, or

ofWH. Pbhk had a strong hold upon tho afibc

1 play one of those powers against the other, and
it woo done adroitly.
. i ’Af that timb, a number of the provinces wero
. .'trotabled by tho savages, and the frontier sottlo
i triphte'of Pennsylvania were much annoyed.
Tuq Hlng of Great Britain had an army in tho
' country, but, for want of moans, it oouid not do
J ®** much. In toll state of affairs too council voted

OUR PUBLIC GROUNDS, i
[For The Press,] \ r M ? ‘ ‘
Aa article under the above title in. Friday’s, I
Pkk9B, suggesting the removal of the unsightly
from Fairmount Park, bassubjcOtod the writer'
in your issue of Saturday to very unmeasured mis
representation. /Let himassuro you j that kto in
tentions in suggesting this removal was simply to
allow the grass to grow and rolieve the eyd from a
disgraceful blur, upon our: public property. The
assumptions of “ Observor” are''as gratuitous ss
false.’ If they bad extended no further ttiah to the
writer, they wouldhavo needed no, reply* But your
correspondent, in common with other oitizens, fools
too drop a debt of gratitude to the “wealthy gen
ttemen” who modo “ the pretended donntiofi,” to
use the ill-conaideredwprds of ‘‘ Observer,” to al
low any attook upon them, however low the souroo,
to remain unanswered. The subject itself,toot too
Yital momoDt to us all. No ono doubts that pub
lic grounds are beneficial ,(o tho people in every
point of view. There is a universal, longing for
them; many of our best citizens have from time to
time devised plana to secure for the use of the poo
plo largo Open spaced tor' pleasdtd grounds; the
Press has. often spoken, ; in, > {heir, behalf;' tho
City Charter under. whloh wo , Jjye,,, makes
It mandatory' on 'the 1 City CounoUa; -but
still attempt tobenefitthe condition of
thpse whose, lives .are, spent within the confines of
the oity, by providing some few oppn spaces for the
present and future generations, is met by some
carping caviller with the or?"of speculation'!—a
cry whloh to mfide 6nlyto deceive 'and doludethe
unwary, and to act upon the minds of.,those to
whom the people delegate the power to make or
mar the oily, as a placo of residence. The olaa
of men of whioh " Observer ” is a typo may con*
tinue to retard tho improvement of tho city; but
we trust the day will copie< when their arts will be
no longer of service to them; when men of a differ
etit mould will toko their proper station in the
front rank, and by their wtoo counsels raise this
city above tho position sho now occupies. ,
’ A few short months ago, citizens of aUportleß,
were rejoieed to hear that Councils had resolved to
form a pleasure ground extending from Fairmount'
to the Spring Garden Water Works, and that in
due time tho grounds would bo thown open to thou-!
sands of womon and children as a place of ploasant
recreation. ■ To-day an opon attack is made on the
projeot, whloh foreshadows tho desperato efforts
which are to bo made to defeat it. Now what are
the farts in relation to this Fairmount Park, whloh
your correspondent has " elosely examined, ’’ and
found to bo “ a sohome of d band of speculatora to
get.rid of a burden 1 they were no longer able to
bear 7 ” The journals of Counoils toll tho. whole
*toiy.
, In Ootobor, 1851', Mr. Wethorlll' presented to
Connoils a sketch of the Lemon Hill estate, wltha
letterfrom Fiodexiok Graff, Esq,, and offered the
following: ' 1
“ tho Shbjeot of the improvement
of the‘Lomon Hill estate be referred to the Commit
tee on City Property and the Watering Committee
jointly;’* whloh resolution was agreed to. ’
The Counoils of the old having thus taken
the initiatory stops to convort this property int 0
a park, tho Counolls of the Consolidated City
followed up the matter. In September, 1854, Mr.
P. A. Keyser offered the following :
'.'Resolved , That the Committee on City Property
he requested to inquire and report to Councils,
thoprioe ttt which tno Sedgloy estate, north of and
adjoining the Lemon Hill estate, can be purchased,
and othor property adjoining the Lemon Hill
estate. ” M the same time' Mr. O’Neill sub
mitted,tho following: ,
Whereas, Tho oitisbns of Philadelphia have,
by petition, requested Councils to provide tho pub
lio with Parks and Squares | thoreforo, be it re
solved that tho properly owned by the oity, known
os tho Lpmon Hill estate, be, and the same is hero
by, dedicated to public übo as a Park.*'
The Committee on City Proporty, of whloh Mr.
Herimau was Chairman, mode a report on tho sub
jootof the purchase of tho proporty on each side
of Lemon Hill. That report states that tho pro
perty' north of the Hill could be purchased on
reasonable terms, and concluded with a resolution
authorising the City Commissioner to leaso from
the owners thereof the Sedgley estate, for the term
of five years, and to enter into a covenant to pur
chase the same,at the termination of the loose, for
tho sum of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Thto resolution was adopted by Seleot Council.
, , t Thus matters remained until about one year ago.
On the 30th 00t0b0r,1856, tho Committee on City
Proporty, Mr. Cuylor, Chairman; submitted along
report on the oonditlon of Lemon Hill. This re

The Convention, as you are aware, waa called at
twelve o’olook today. From early this morning,
the main topic on all sides was the difficulty about
the several sets of New York oity delegates—of
whloh there.were reported to bo no loss than four
in tho field. 1 (Towards* tlie liour for organising,
however, two of. theso sets seemed to bo droppodby
a kind of universal, unpremeditated, mutual in
stinct. At any rato, when tho controversial mis
siles began to fly “in open court,” there were but
two named, viz: the Wilson Small and the Coopor
delegations, both of whloh take their name from
the President, of their particular sot. , Tho Wilson
Small number Mayor Wood among their' party,
whilst of tho Coopor party, the Tammany Hal) sot,
Hon. Daniel E, Sioklos and lion. John Cochrane
geoin to be the most activo ohampions.
At a few minutes' aftor twelve o’clook the Con
vention was called to order by a member of tho.
State Central Committee nominating Mr. Taylor,;
of Onondago oounty, as the permanent presiding’
officor of that body during its present delibera- 1
tions. Mr. Taylor having taken his seat; acknow
ledged the partiality whloh had boon oxtended to
hlmf in "a very felicitous, spoeoh, indeed. Tho
Convention proceeded to nominate secretaries and
vice presidents, in which an unnecessary amount of
time was doubtlosa consumed. The next business
in order was for tho sooretary to read the namoß of
. the several accredited delegates, and reoeive the
credentials of all whoso peats in that body wore
contested. At this point the first hostile gun was
fired, and notwithstanding all the oil which speech
makers had endeavored to' pour upon the troublod
waters, in anticipation, the initiatory scone of
"confusion worse confounded*’ immediately enr
sued.
Aftor the first storm had. subsided, however,
sufficiently for calm reason again to assumo her
wonted sway, a proposition wal made, and agreed
to, to appoint a committee, in which each judicial
district of tho Stato should bo represented, to in
quire into the subject of contested scats, and re
pprt when the Convention called this afternoon,
which was,announced to bo at throe o’clock.
At throo o’clook tho large ballin which the,Con
vention is boiqg held, was again dousoly fillod,
ull expeoting that tho main battle bad boon al
ready fought; but that baUM r proved 1 to havo
boon but tho promonitory muttorhiga of tlio thun
der with wbieh we wore to bo regaled now. Do
leetable repast, surely! As tho chairman did not
make his appoaranee for some minutes uftor tho
hour Hon'. D. B. Dickinson was, by
acclamation, called to'take tho platform, and treat
us to a spoeoh.
The old man with his venerable looks—his white
hair falling like a great hirsuto mantle of white
o’er his erect ihouldero-Mmmoiliatoly responded to
tho call, and for about, fifteen minutes kept tho
audlcnco in perfect spasms of laughter, and that,
too, quite as inuoh by the puiigfcuf truthfulness of
his remarks, as by the inimitable racincss
with which thoy Were mode. Ho olpped by en*
treating with muoh oarnostnoss, that they would
gito the people & good ticket—ono that would.be
Domooratio insido, outsido, in the middle, and all
round, and that they,would procoed to do it with
becoming harmony, aud whioh he believed they
would, aud to whloh all the 1 peoplo violently
clapped tboir hands Amcu!
But, alas! this hope was like praying for security
while standing upon the otater of a volcano just
ready to belch! Yoa, ycrily, he had scarcely token
bis scat before the storm broke loose! Mij. Bifthles,

.through; regular guns; nothaye hcen
heSru. Fiercor and fiercer grew the
*bbdy was on his feet, outsiders and ! insiders!
Criminqtioq on 4| re-crimination followed apape.
One delegato, in, a very high state of exoltement,
demandod anotbor to recall what to'hacf tafd, but
not having a voice groat enough to drown thB cidm
binod voices of a dozon bthdrS, he wiis biif-tallieaj
by. which tho public is probably'spared the bloody
rocord of an affair of honor At. this point tho
confusion was unbounded, members were evidently
foolishly giving way to thMf temper upoii All aides.
Tho good-natured Chairman bbckme bo worked up

that his face' wcillke 1 soairlet, presenting a very’
marked oontrast with his snowy hair. No wonder
that ha was exoited, for I ! myself, at One time, shw

pootry contained in most of the modern weeklies.
Old Chester, you know, to celebrated among
sportsmen for its rail and reed birds; and as hun
dreds of your citizens visit us every fall for the
purpose of participating In this sport, it may not
cpmo amiss to some of your readers,' and particu
larly to good wives, to kuow hbw their "good
lords” employ themselves whep thoy leaVe hoeqe
fora "day’s shooting.” toohly at high water
that this kind of game can be eaptufed with suc
cess for at this Btago of tho tide the shores and
islands are overflowed/ and ’ by means of a very
light skiff, and the aid of an experienced "pusher,”
you ave enabled to glide quietly and swiftly over ;
and through the reeds, where the birds are feeding,
and as thoy rise up bofore the boatyou “pop’em.”
There to a remarkable contrast in the habits
of tho rail and reed birds. The latter to nearly
always seen in flocks, and to either pu Uifi ,w* n &
or feeding on the soedof the reed near the top.
The rail, on the oontrary are neier seen more
than two or throe together, on the mud,
apd never takes to its wing'except When startled
by its pursuer; Instances have frequently occur
red boats havo passed over them befbre they
would fly. * They seem to fly with great labor, and
noverfarata time. It frequently happons that
when a bird is wounded and pmkos a noise (like
tho mewing of a eat,) two or throo willsoein to
come to its rescue or assistance, and will stand flro
like soldiers in the Crimea, without being at all
alarmed, ot the roport of tho gun, Tho rail are
scarce this season, in consequence of tho very wet
spring, the low lands whoro thoy breed having
been overflowed, destroying tbclr eggs and young.
Sportsmen, (br their own interest aud future plea
sure, should spare the rail this soason. The last
of this month, and tho first of next, is tho proper
time for rail bird shooting, as thoy are then in tho
flnost condition. Tho highest number that I have
known to have boon shot, on a tide, by one per
son,-hns boon sixty-five, tho averugo is about thir
ty with oxperionced sportsmen.

more in! a wont bf understanding as to ,the rules of

. A subscriber to tho Lancaster Express, who
moved to tb&AVest some time back,appears,to
he pretty thoroughly dlaguatedwith his change
of residence, and, after declaring his intention
bf returning to Pennsylvania, writes as follows,
under date of Monmouth, 111., Sept. 7,1857 i
I have, been very muoh disappointed in tho
\Yest. I think mechanics in Pennsylvania had
much hotter stay there, as wages are about the
same, and living cheaper. This place don’t suit
my business;, lumber m. too high in p mq. . Pine
is worth $24 to $45 per thousand; 'pop.ar $2B .to
$32; and we have sevtiil furnitarekootna.'but they
keep auction'or salowork, mode 'in the cheap*
e?t manner, journeymen carpenters get $1.50
to $J.75 per day,and houses rentmuoh higher than
tbeV do in Harrisburg l / A small one-story bouse,
with two ..or three, small rooms, rents from r $S
to $lO per month. Provisions are high.. Spring
wheat flour is worth Sj.so per barrel; Ham lfi|
per pound; potatoes SI per bushel; butter 20c.
per pound; eggs I2ie. per dozen. This U cer
tainly a fine farming country; the land is very
productive, and a everything commands a , good
price; but land is up to its value, and they are
asking $lOO per acre near the city.- I ‘As.for pro
perty in the city, (and every town that has two
dozen one-story houses is a city,) it is far above
its value—muoh higher than in Harrisburg. 'Our
city has a population *of three thousand, and
is improving, imt‘ the most Of the buildings are
small one-story buildings. Peoplo’appear to live l
by excitement hero—coming and going all the
time; and I don’t seo any more change for a poor
man hero than there is in the East; in fact, not-.aa 1
much; yet tho speculators writo letters and advise
people tocomc horc. But so it is; and I find many
here from other States who wish they were back
again; in fact, nearly every Pennsylvanian says
ho would rather live in tho East. As for taxes, 1
they are higher hero, I’m told, than they are
in New York. They tax everything a man owns,
except his wife and children—his furniture, tools,'
and any article ho may manufacture. I was not
bore over one mouth beforo I had to pay $2 25 road
tax. I have written but a short letter, and could
writo much'wore. You may publish itifyou'wish.
I would say nothing about the West, but l find
many poor men advised to come here, and wkon
they got horo they arc uot ablo to return again. <

Reported Indian Fight.
[From the St. Louis Republican of the 10th ]
The Independence Messenga i of Saturday list,*
under a flaming head,, speaks of the..arrival of a
gentleman from tho Plains, on .the previous day.
who reported that ho.saw an express man withdis
imtches from Fort Kcaruey to Fort Leavenworth.
Ho stated that Oolohol Sumhcr had overtaken the
Choyenne Indians, retreating rapidly toward the
Arkansas;, that a severe battle ensued iwwodi*
atoly, nfter Col; Sumner came upon them; that tho
action resulted “ in the indiscriminate massacre of
four or five hundred of the Indians, men, women,
ana children.” And when all this was done, it is
gravely added, that Surnuer and his men were
” subsisting entirety upon buffalo moat.” Wo must
be permitted to doubt the correctness of this news,
It is hardly possiblo that Colonet Surnnor, who
hud, really, several very hard accounts to settle
with the Cheyennes, wonld yet so far forget him
self as to make war upon women and ohildron, as
stated. Wo doubt rnuQh whether tho battle
was fought at all; but if it was, no officer of the
Americau army would liaVo authorized or permit*
ted any slaughter of women and children to tako
place.
Tho MffledgeviUe (Ga.) Union states that a
man named John I. Bass, residing in Hancock
county; was killed in his own house dj a woman a
few dfiys blocoj It appears that Bass e&mo home
drunk, maltreated his wife, and drove her and
children und.Mra. Hudson and children out of his
houso. Mrs. Hudson bursted two eapa&t him;
theii she went home, and next morning very early,
'just as Bass was getting up, she entered his room,
placed a pistol to his breast, and fired, killing Bass
instantly.
