The.nercantile Library Company!
An adjourned meeting of the stookholdire, of.
the , Memandle' Library Company, was _held at
the Library - Nall; on Tuesday - evening. The
joint committee. appointed at the *amnia Meet
ing in January last, and isleoted _ half frpm
the defeated ticket and half from the eucemiefal
ticket for board of directors, made an exceedingly
interesting report in regard to the origin, pro
gram, and efficiency. of the Mercantile Library.
Company. • The hietorloal part of this address
is replete .with local Information, illustrating from
what humble beginnings the present highly sue
emeful enterprise started. The crowded state of
our columns precludes us from giving the address
entire; brit the prOminent position which the Li
brary deteriedlyjamintains as the 'representative
of • the mercantile' interest of Philadelphia will
command very general 'attention for the extracts
we embody- below, and which set forth in detail
the - generous. plans which the present board of
.direetere,areettelning every nerve, to -socomplish.
The merchants and business men of ,this city ought
riot to be. behind New York, but should emulate
the example which she has set in a munificent
liberality to a - beneficent 'ard popular institution.
begin ourextiaete from the report at the
point where the 'committee refer to the erection of
the edifice noir occupied by the company :
To appreciate the vast responsibility incurred
In the undertaking of the new building, and the
- courageous confidence of those who carried the
plan to a triumphant lune, it is 'reenlist to bear in
mind that the sum total of funded resources on
hand at this period, applicable to the purpose, was
barely - $3,400. To conetier the 'difficulty,arising
from want of adequate funds—a difficulty which
suet the board at the outset—it was determined to
augment the funds of the, association by a plan•
embroiling, substantially, the .following eugges.
dons : It was _proposed to open a eubeeription to
shares of stook, issuing for the same transferable
twin, not to be subjebt to annual tax until convert
lid into active shires, at the option of the holder,
and, whenever so converted, producing to the
library an annual income the same as derived froth
theerginal shares. It was wisely belleied by those
whose for-seeing wisdom prepared this plan, that
the " Building scrip," as it, was termed, would al-
Ways have a value near to par, since the superior
attractions and accommodations of the new library
edifice weuld:necemarily create a growing demand
for, the stook.. Nor was tide reasonable expectation
disappointed, as our last annual report elbows hut
two hundred and seventy-six shares of scrip still
outstanding. The project succeeded admirably,
and subscriptions came in liberally from the mer
°barite and other publio.spiritedoltisens, so that the
directors saw their way clear to starting promptly
on its w ay to the new edifice. The building was
begun in the month of October, 1844, and was
finished in less than a year, to the great gratifica
tion of all the friends of the institution. , The en
tire costof the building, including book-eases, desks,
reading tables, furniture, and gas fixtures, was
$23,199. making, with the cost of the ground. a to
tal slightly over forty.four thousand dollars. How
ever bold the projected Improvement may have ap
peared at its Inception, and however discouraging
the debt as umcd beyond the immediate abilities of
the institution to meet, experience has conclusively
shown that the enemy and seal of those interested
in-the library's seams had not been at all over
estimated. Per actual results show that the whole
cunt of original indebtedness has been cancelled
with the exception of a single mortgage of $9,000,
and, from the Amin property values, it is not put
ting an exaggerated riles upon the presentproper
ty, to estimate its worth, over and above the mort
gage, at 60,000 dollars. Adding to" this sum the
.value of the books,(which now reach nearly total
of 20,000 volumes and we have a total of assets
representing not less than seventy-five thousand
dollars. •
These remits your committee think, so far from
causing any diminution of interest, ought only to
twit. to 'still greater exertion, and should arouse
an enthusiasm sulacient to place the institution
in, the foremost rank of nubile libraries in this
country. It is only by comparison with kindred
assoniations that we can - judge of our own progress
and discover wherein we have been lacking in
point of energy or ellleienoy. With a single view
to stimulate an active spirit of emulative rivalry,
yoar committee would direct attention to the fol
lowing stmtistios, compiled from authentic sources.

In tracing the true cause of the apperior pro
ma of thellbrarirs of New York and llincinneti,
we cannot ge far wrong in attributing it mainly to
the fact that, in the olties referred to, the ".Mer
cantile Library!' is regarded as a representative
institution, with whose progress the menalitile re
putation and ptiblio sp irit of the citizens ire inti
mately identified.. During the hist gra years the
actual total of stockholders and subscribers to the
Philadelphia Mercantile Library has not mate
rially varied (the increase being about; 10 per
cent.), whiled daring no previous oval Period of
its history have its shelves been enriched with so
large an accession of valuable works., There
seems, in the opinion of your committee, no good
reason why in a city containing a population
hardly inferior in numbers to New York, and yet
containing thirty thousand more homes to read in;
our Mercantile Library should not have more
members than the New York institution. Oar
shares, cOmildering the true value of the assets
they represent, are intrinsicaUY worth nearer $4O
each than, $lO, the apparent par, whilst the an
nual dues here, compared with New York are
less. ' We have nearly 2,000 members—and, If we
would keep pace with our neighbor, we ought to
number 6,009 members.
With a view to show the immense importance
to the Libri4's interests of an increase of mem
bers, your committee would submit the following
estimate, based upon a supposed accession of ohly
one thousand additional stockholders:
Estimating the Library' tosl,ooo vole..
and adding the number of. volumes to pe
purchased with 1/0,000, received From
sale of lialo new shares at—. 10,000
Estimating the annual addition of volumes
nom the increased &shwa Income, at .... • 6,000 vole.
And ye, have the total of volumes in the
Library swollen in'a single year to an •
Addirl i tre g e a utga increase of Jive thouilirid 7 1s.
• volumes for tenyears... . . 60,000 vole.
Ana by the end ofll2o.wesbould bay . ° iViCial
of not less than* • . • 95,000 vole.
Could two thousand new stockholders be added,
the total of volumes would reach in ten years over
one hundred thbucand Volumes. -
Thew estimates 'are no wild; unnatural exagge
rations. To realise Clem practically, ills only ne
cessary that'an effort should be put forth energeti
cally to secure the' neoesoary subsoriptione to now
shares. Notwithstanding the large increase of
'stook at the time- of the erection of thetoresent
building, the shares have maintained their value
steadily,. and the present market value is but a
trifle below par. In soliciting, therefore, from the
public additional subscriptions to the stock, we
give value in return In the shape of certificates,
which can be readily realised at - nearly, the par
face. Every year the shares necessarily become
More valimble from, the increased assets e of the in
stitution, so that there is every reason to believe
that thy will never decline below their present
market value.
When theippeal was made to the merchants and
°likens of New York in behalf 'of, their 'Mercan
tile Library; they caltleforward with a prompt and
magoinhuotis generosity, ami to the single year,
1854; Contributed ' the handsome sum of $48,750'
and, In theyear 1865. made an 'additional SA
eiriptlon of $12,750. Is there any good reason,
therefore your oommittee would ask, why „Phila

ARREST 9P . P. B. SANBORN FT oases or TEM SENATE
Borrow, April 4.—F. B. fianboin was arrested at
Concord last night, by United Stated officers, under'
the requisition of - the Senate Committee.: Judge
Board, of the Supreme Court, lined' a .-writ of
new,ll3
progress before a fall benOh, considing ofludges
Shaw, Metcalf, Bigelow, Merrick, and Roar.
The arrest of Sanborn caused much excitement
at Concord. Be at first refused to accompany
the omoers, and was handcuffed and taken to
a carriage, struggling violently. The town
belle were rung,* and a crowd immediately col
lected, and Sanborn was forcibly , taken from
the officers and kept until a writ of habeas oor•
pus was. obtained.
During the excitement a dam named Bet
foe Roamer died suddenly, it is supposed, from
fright.
The subject was introdneed in the Legialaeane,
in the form ore) series of resolutions, authorising
the employinent of the Attorney general of the
State for the defence. The resolutions were briefly
debated and laid on the table. -
BEEMMEMZM
Itoero ,N Aprll'4.-06141! justice Shaw, on the
writ of habeas corpus, hasp decided thct the tier
geant•at-Arms of the United States Senate could
not depute his authority to another party.
At the hearing of the case, the counsel for Mr
Sanborn presented the following points :
let. That the Sergeant-at-Arme of the United
Stites Senate has no power out of the Dis
trict of Columbia, which is under the exclusive
jurisdiction of Congress.
24. That the precept of the arrest being directed
to the Sergeant-at-Anne by name, he alorie can
serve it.
Thet" the Sergeant-at-Arius cannot deputize
his powers to others opt of the District of 00-
lumbia,
After the hearing of the arguments, chief Jus
titre Shaw briefly reviewed the circumstances of
the ease, stating that it presented no conflict of
authority between the ensoutive odhoers of the
United States and the executive officers 'of this
Commonwealth. As to the first point taken, the
court were not prepared to say that the Senate of
the United States could not have its precepts
served outside of the District of Columbia. On the
third point, that the Sergeant-at-Arms of that body
could not depute his authority to another person,
there was no doubt, and the court were unani
mously of the opinion that be had no such autho
rity. A warrant of this serf must be limited to the
person to whom it was given by the Senate. - The
order - of the court, therefore, was that Mr. San
born be discharged.
The rendition of this decision oalled forth much
applause, whioh was speedily checked by the offi
cers of the court. The court room was thronged
during the proceedings.
Mr. Sanborn immediately left for home, with his
friends.

Mr. kuoir. of Ohio, proceeded to contrast the Senate

Thu Senate bill was a wise measure for revenue and
ecoromy. It gavot sixty millions of acres for home
steads, which was enough for all the people of the
United States who desire to go there. He read nume
robs acts showing that Congress had from time to
time donated the public, lands to towns. mail routes, and
Statts ; and yet, in view of all this, it lea been said that
the homestead bill proposed some great revolution in
the land system, to destroy the yobbo revenue, when
the fact was the same principle has been the guiding

that the passagelyhe bill would injure the revenue,
for under the gr ation ant the price decreased from
tithe to tune, an the homestead bill would bring the
other lands Into market. The Secretary of the Interior
Thad said in his report that all the lands had failed es a

hal denominated this a party question but it was
rather late in the day, inasmuch es the homestead bill
had passed the same House that passed the Kansas-
Nebraska act.
Mr. WIGFALL, of Texas, disclaimed making the
torriestead bill a party teat. He proceeded at length
ta speak on the question. He argued that the donations
of eiternateeetions would prevent the sale of the pub- -
lie lands. Th e passage of the bill would be an aban
donment of revenue and also an expense to the Govern
ment; and it would be better to give one hundred and
Inlay dollars out of the treasury to the homeless than
donate the public, land and go to the expense of swab •

Mr. GOOCH replied that lie and those with whom lie

only in response to an interrogatory. On the Republican
side the institution of slavery had riot open drawn into
the discussion.
Mr. BA_RKEIDALE. Then, you decline to answer the
question ?
Mr. GOOCH replied that ho believed that under the
Constitution, emigres* has power to prohileslavery in
the Territories. Wks pi tine qUetition comes before the
'house lie would tell the gentleman whence he derived
the power. He reviewed the schemes of his mileages
(Mr. Thayer) and the gentleman from Aimee (Mr. Ale-
C,ernand), saying that it was utterly futile to commit
the Mormons to the infant settlements of taken Peak
and Nevada.
Mr. THAYER, replied that one of the del , entes from
those Territories says they are entirely willing to take
the responsibility; and further, that the Mormons,
great numbers, are travelling toward Pike'■ reek and
Carson Valley to engage in mining.
Mr. GOOCH had no doubt they were willing to do alt
they could to get a Territorial organization. Ho was.
however, told this morning by one of those delegates
that they wished to have nothing to do with the Mor

PnILdDELPIIIt SOCIETY FOR PIIONOTING
AGRICULTURE.—The stated monthly meeting of
this society was held yesterday morning at their
rooms, Chestnut street; below Seventh, Craig
Biddle, Esq., president, in the Chair.
The president directed attention to a Spanish
plough, presented to the society by William H.
Stewart, Esq., of the island of Cuba. This de
scription of plough is the only kind which is used
in Cuba. ' It is of very rude construction, and
made entirely of wcibd, except the " sock," or end
which perforates the ground. It has but a single
handle, of about the ordinary height. This handle
is only a crooked stick of wood, with the bark off,
and in shape bears Male resemblance to the letter
"B." At the end It has a pleat) of Iron about six
inches in diameter at the thickest part, tapering
down to a round point, and is fastened on the bot
tom of the handle like a spear-bead. It has no
"share", like our ploughs, to turn up the
cod. The beam or pole of the plough is about
sixteen feet long ; also of unplaned wood, which is
fastened 'to ' the handle by two wooden wedges,
driven into two holes morticed through the beam
and the handle. At the end of the beam is a
wooden yoke for two oxen, which are required to
draw the plough. This yoke is fitted in its place
by two wooden pins, inserted in the pole or beam,
and the oxen are fastened to the yoke by their
horns being tied with ropes or leather thongs.
No harness is need. The plough attracted much
attention on the part of the members, wha con
gratulated themselves upon being so far in ad
vance of tho Spaniards in implements of agricul
ture. It was stated that this plough was similar
to that used by the ancient Romans.
A work by Samuel Johnston, upon " Manure',"
was presented by a member, who stated that it ex
posed the many impositions practised upon farmers
by dealers in the concentrated manures ; and con
tained many facts which It was important for farm
ers to know.
The presentation of this work led to a discussion
upon the subject of manures, when Mr. Sidney G.
Fisher stated that a farmer near his residence had
informed him that he made his own bone manure
by buying all the old bones he could get from his
neighbors and bone-gatherers, paying fifty cents
per one hundred behes. He then put them into a
water-tight hogshead and poured sulphuric acid
and water over them, and, in a abort time, he had
abundance of the best bone dust, which cost him
only $l6 per ton, while the dealers charged $45
per ton.
Mr. David Landreth did riot think that every
farmer could do this, because the kupply of bones
would not be sullielent. Hi said it was not neces
sary to use sulphurie acid in decomposing the bones.
This could be actoomplished by using, the waste
manure of the barnyard, by platting the bones in a
vat or tank, and covering it with the manure, hot.
This was cheaper then the ordinary phosphates, for
ground bones can be bought for thirty-two cents,
and by this process it can soon be made into the
best fertilising manure.
This 'subject was then passed over, after which
Mr. Fisher remarked that he hoped the members
bad not got tired of listening to papers upon the
advantages of the sorghum snare, or Chinese sugar
cane. (Mr F. read a long paper upon this sub
ject at thelast meeting, from gentlemen engaged
in its culture in Chester county.) lie then read a
letter from a arm of paper manufaoturers in Mane
yank, which referred to certain statement; made
In the paper read at the March stated meeting,
that the profits of a fair yield of Chinese sugar
cane were $63.25 per acre, (fear sugar and molasses
alone,) to which may be added $l5 more fOr seeds
and " tops." The report, or paper alluded to, also
stated that the " bagasse" (or waste matter from
the cane, after the sugar and syrup have hien ex
pressed) was worth $6 per ton for maktag paper.
The letter of the paper manufacturer 'aye "It
is to this we would call your attention. As we nn
derstandia, an sore of good soil will yield abdut
ten tons of cane, and these tea tone, after being
pressed, (if properly taken oars of and dried,) will
make from two to three tons of ' bagasse.' As we
are the only paper manufacturers who have made,
and are prepared to make, paper from it, we will
give from $l5 to $2O per ton, delivered at our mills,
in Manayunk, and shalt be prepared to take alt
and any quantity if we can get it. You see by this
that an acre of ' bagasse,' if properly ' cured, after
extracting the molasses anti seed, is worth more
than an acre of corn."
Mr. Fisher said, if these statements were to be relied
upon, it eras another evidence of the superiority of the
Camas auger a ds as a standard orop.
Mr. Samuel Williams desired to know if the Chinese
sugar mine wee such a profitable crop, why so many had
discontinued cultivating it.
Mr. Fisher denied thal.pbreone had discontinued cul
tivating it, and asserted that the number of persons en-
M e j d ultlrtiVrigdgidslansjnorrtripfiatzzhe
be
cause the paper-makers will buy a ll the " began*
that can be offercd. The raw material for the manu
facture of minting end writing Paper was hemming
very naive. and this bemuse would supply a wantorhieh
was now badly felt.
In the course of informal conversation with some of
the members, the fact was elicited that one edition of
tue Public Ledger, of thig city, bad been printed upon
paper made partly from the '• begaske " of the Chinese
sugar wine. Dr. Elwyn appeared to think that if only
one daily edition of the Eccles,. was Printed upon this
kind of paper. it was prool that it was not suitable,
otherwise it would have been continued.
Mr. Fisher could not say whether one or rpore editions
of the Ledger had been printed upon this kind of paper,
but the paper makers had shown him a piece of minting
paper made from it. To satisfy hinuelf and the mem
bers,he said he would produce, at the next meeting, a
sample of the paper made from began°. But, inde
pen ent of its adaptation to printing paper, there were
other kinds of paper, such as wall paper and wraPPing
paper, which lie had no doubt could be manufactured
from it. For this latter description of paper thero to al
ways a steady demand.
Mr. Williams thought the cultivation of the Chinese
sugar cane would be It failure in this o mot, . in conse
quence of the high price of labor. In the West Indies,
a man's labor cost,, on an average, 25 cents per day,
while we all know what labor costs in this country. lie
said an acre of the ordinary sugarcane, such as is grown
inithe West Indies, will produce double the quantity of
cane that is p ro duced by the Chinese sugar cane, as
grown here. 't'o illustrate this, he held up two stalks of
dried sugar cane from the West Indies, about ten feet
in height. It grown mneh higher than this. but bon
ones had been out elf. rho Chinese sugar cane. on the
other hand, only grows eight or ten feet high, and there
fore produces less cane. Taking this fact of inereased
lroduction into oonsineration, and the high price of In
ay here, he did not believe the Chinese sonar cane
could euoaeggfully compete with the ordinary sugar
cane.
Mr. Fisher admitted, that the West India cane pro
duced more than the sorghum. "But," sand he, " look
at the profit you have after the sugar end Byrne are ex
tracted. Übe " bagasse," or waste, is worth from .450
to 860 an sore, which ie muoli more than a corn crop
ield."
The subject was then dropped.

A letter was read from the Montgomery County Agri
cultural Society, Mating that they had fixed upon the
tint week in October to hold their amused exhibition
and requesting the Philadelphia Society not to appoint
the seine time for holding.their exhibition.
The subject of holding an exhibition the present year
wis then disuussed. It was decided at the last meeting
to hold an exhibition, but the time was not fixed.
Mr. Sidney
Sepisher said the exhibition of the State
Society, last ember, was a disgrace to the cause of
;r cultism To draw a crowd andiet their " quarters,"
the society got up an exhibition of - fire•engines, and ar
ranged a race-course, which had the effect to attract
the worst classes of society. It was a scene of gambling
and vice, which was indulged in with impunity hr row
dies and blackguard". He knew of q cane vrhe re, ityoung
man had robbed his employer to raise money to enter a
horse lor competition on the race-course.
The president, Craig Biddle, observed that he 'thought
an exhibition of horses would be a proper ore. as mop
men had last horses, and they were Mistime of showing
them. Resides. farmers were interested In improving
the brood ofitoms, and a trial cm a race track was a
goon way of testing the' oapabilities of a horse. He
could not eye why a member should be prevented from
oatering a blooded hone any more than any other kind
or stook.-
Mr. Fisher agreed with the president in regard to im
proving the breed of horses, but did not think it a proper
wsy to Jo it by having an amphitheatre, such as was
erected at the State r, where the seats were filled
with a noisy, vienoris, riotous rabble. All this was done
to make money. If we amino:lave an exhibition with
out resorting to thin, we had better hove none at all.
Mr. Landreth remarked that the lest exhibition of the
State Society was a prostitution of the cause of agri
culture. done to draw a UM* d to raise money.
nr. hilwyn said the State Seeley were compelled to
make their exhibitions popular, banns° Whenever they
held coo in Philadelphia.' it cost them $12,t00 before
they 'began.' lie 'oPPdied the trotting-horde arrange
ment lot the exhibitions of this society, but qould are
no °hie oti,n to minding horses among an exhibition of
stock. It' they excluded horses from the exhibition,
very fear people would visit' it. as tole was one of the
lento res ' of an agricultural exhibition. ;
Mr. Dennis ]telly thought there would be ho use of
holding an exhibition without having home, and trying
them on a track. In Angland, which is considered
quite as civilised as our country, 'the) , encouraged
horse• racing, and not long ago, prizefighting, too. At
any rate they take erect interest to prize -fighting about

aatientah Cahurttha.—The Court of quarter
&Woes is badly engaged In disposing of the pet t y eases which kenne:bisen accumulating on the calen
dar. The dock yeetarday morning was otowded
with a number of hapless-looking mortal', charged
with all manner of misdemeanors, from an assault
and battery up to a petty larceny. A number
of these eases are of a character too tri
ning to be brought before a jury, and, in moat
instances, the practical results of either an acquit
' tat or a conviction are of no value at all to the pre
servation of justice or the good of the community.
The present Grand Jury'have returned a number
of bills, and the District Attorney is energetically
pressing them to trial. John Gardiner, John Wil
son, Louisa Hamilton. Michael Banners, ]tabard
Boston, Henry Greo l, Peterßicrer, and William
Barnes, wore ail found leanly of different charges
of larceny. James Williams, Edward hberrsn,
and Charles Harmer were convicted, and Isaac K.
Reeves, Alexander Thompson, and Pierce Kitchen
were acquitted of the charge of assault and battery.
Kitchen, the last named, was charged with'isom
milting an assault and battery upon his wife. For.
gettincthe, adage of the lawyers, that "he who
' pl ea d s his awn cause bath a fool for his Client,"
Mr. Kitchen went before' the jury and defended
himself-, litie spouse teetitled that her husband
defendant would indulge in intoxicating liquor,
and failed to support family. He had come
home and taken from the house bread and butter,
as well as the, greater part of the furniture, and
thus left his vas and children entirely' destitute.
Although he bad threatened her with personal
violence, yet ha had never used It. The defendant,
in pleading his cause, laid all the blame on his
wife. Being a pines woman, and a church mem
ber, alit was accustomed to trirrg home to tea nu
merous church members, to which proceeding the
husband objected, and, enforced his objections by
removing the bread and butter. His antipathy to
these people was as great as that felt by the elder
Weller towards Wiggins, the red-nosed shepherd,
whose proclivities for_pinirapple punch and bet
tered tout forms one of the moat amusing chapters
of Pickwick. The jury felt inclined to sympathise
with the lady, but, as she could prove nu act of
personal violence, be was acquitted.
Among those acquitted of assault and battery
was a colored man, named Alexander Thomson,
whether with or without the p the record falls to
show. Alexanderweicharged withhavinginfrieted
the dignity of the Commonwealth by timings/Wince
to the person of one William Kirk, a police officer.
When called upon for hie statement he volunteered
a number of observations, personal and political.
lie said that he bad been a slave for fourteen
• ears, in Columbia, 8. 0. ; that he had obtained
Lis freedom, but fouthd thel the . freedom of, theory
and the freedom of reality were two things. 'On
coming North he muried a woman who had four
children. Being a widower, and the father of nine
ohildren himself', his matrimonial alliance materi
ally increased his family. With these 0110 UM•
brats:lea he felt that he was worse off than he had
ever been before. The jury pitied his sorrows and
sent him on ills way with an acquittal. -
.. A number of women, named Marna Williams,'
Henrietta Williams; and Elisabeth Fetter, were
charged with keeping a disorderly home. Maria
was convicted, and the others acquitted. Jacob
Raeder was charged with passing a counterfeit
note on the- Warren Bank, Rhode Island, and
pleaded guilty. Albert Jackson and John Stewart
pleaded guilty to the charge of burglary, in breaking
into the hens° of Morris Elongate, on the night of '
February 24, 1880, and taking therefrom property
to the amount of $188.50.
