Mr. WILLIAMS entered upon a general review of the
question. In days of old, in Athens, a certain fund was
set apart to be expended for the annual amusement of
the people, and a law was enacted making it death to
propose its expenditure for any other purpose. One man,
Lowever, in time of war, was found who was bold enough
to lase this fund for the Weary of the State. In uur era
of trouble, when the Union totters for existence, the
fund drawn from the community and set apart for their
special use,is diverted from its true channel and finds :Its
Way into ie pockets of a great corporation.
The one method is purely Athenian, the other purely
Tennerlvanian.
In the legislative halls, in 1861, scenes were witnessed
Without a parallel. Members whom it was almost im
possible, in ordinary seasons, to keep in Harrisburg on
Saturdays, or even Fridays, willingly consented to fix
Strange and unusual times pir the consideration of the
twin reamed iniumities, while the main agent in the
mission stood in the halls apparently holding the line
over the members.
He had supposed that the Assembly was a deliberative
Paty, embracing men of a variety of opinions. Holding
these views, lie was naturally astonished to find the
unanimity of members of the Legislature of 1801 who
would not even allow the change of a single word in the.

that ha collected a number of watches, and endeavored
to make them keep uniform time. railing in this, he
came to the conclusion that if it was impossible to her
upanize mechanical contrivances,
it was useless to at
tempt to harmonize the different opinions of men. Bat
the Pennsylvania Railroad had evidently accomplished
the miracle.
lalib continued further,declaring that the prima Qf
.F-Iphia had been e•uheidized, as well as that of if MTN •
iburg, and that no speech which he might make, even
Mow, would find its a ay in print in Philadelphia.
Mr. ABBOTT trusted that the act, which had origi.
'Malty created this discussion, would come before the
}lease on its merits before the close of the session, pre,
*timing that one of the objects of the proposed investiga
tion was to denounce or repeal this act.

Pennis, Williams, and Smith, of Chester conntr•.
The resolution wes thee tts•ree.l to by a vote of 02 yeas
to 1 nay—Mr. Dennis being the only member voting IA
the negative.
The following members were absent Messrs. Cessna,
Cowan. Early. Ellett, Moore,
Rowland, and Vincent.
Mr. DENNIS then presented four reasons for his vote
Sn the nepative. and asked that they Le unto ed upon the
journal ; which wos agreed to. The first was that the re

fourth, that the action or the House was without Losis

TRUSTEES OF THE STATE LUNATIC ASYLUM-THE

The Doctor, who was on his parole in Richmond,
informs us that numerous citizens had expressed
themselves "sick and tired" of the war;'and the
.tuthorities fear the coming expiration of the term of
enlistment. the 22:d of February.
Captain Keifer. of this city, who is held as hostage

COMBINATION OF THE MERCANTILE A.ND ATHE-
LtArtt LIBRARIES.—A correspondent sends us the
fullowing intere-ting news, relative to two of our
most popular puhl ie libraries :
CITY EDITOR PRESS: Perceiving by the annual
report of the Mercantile Library Company for the
post year, that a proposition had been started - to
unite that institution with the Athenmum, giving to
each shareholder of the Athena3um three shares of
gtockor a life membership in the new institution,
tin making inquiries. I find that the measure was
Started at the last annual meeting of thole:then:cum
Itnembers, and that the board of that company was
directed to correspond with the board of the Mer
cantile Library; the consequence was the above
proposition, the title of the new company to be the
Mercantile Library and Athemcum. The reason for
coseidering one share of the Athemmom stock equal
ea three shares of the Mercantile Library is that the
property of the two is of about an equal value; while
the Athenaeum has only about 400 members, the
lgereattile Library has about 2,000; it was thought
beat, therefore, to equalise them according to the
par valets of the mock, which is $25 in the Athe-
Mecum end $lO in the Mercantile. Now, to unite
these institutions upon this fair basis, would, I think,
be a gnat advents e to both, and particularly to
the Atlenamm. as it would at once bring its stock
to aboutpar, while it cannot now be sold at one
dollar pr share ; the Mercantile Library stock sell
ing readly at SEI 50 to $9. Of late years. the Atho
l:M:11M Ins been declining. in consequencti of the ev
es/Bite miount of tax which has to be charged anon
soh shab—namely, $7 per annum ; while the Men
'pantile ;ives much more for $2. But the main
thing to m considered is the great benefit the unity
would btto the city, as it would enlarge the sphere
of action and it is likely that soon, with the united
properties and energy, the new company would be
enabled b build and stock a large fire-proof build
ing, whiol would compare favorably with the great
yimblic lilrary of Reston, or the Astor Library of
York; with such an institution Philadelphia
"would rivd those cities. At present, they are far
*bead of le. It is certain that the two can do a great
deal morecombined than either will do alone. The
Athenmun beard hasdetermined to refer the matter
Lack to de stockholders, with a negative recitu-
Snendation The annual meeting will be hsld at
their buildng on next Monday, the 3d of February.
As very few attend the meetings, the measure may
be killed incense the members knew nothieg of it,
there being I believe, no notice of it in any paper.
I am satisfied that a majority would be favorable,
if they knelt , of the project.
THIRD REGIMENT RESERVE BRIGADE.—At
a meeting of the officers of the Third Regi
ment Reserve Brigade, held on Tuesday evening,
It was resolved, that if the services of the Reserve
Brigade are desired by the Government of the
`United States, those of the Third Regiment ha
'tendered, Waugh General F. Patterson, for a
period not exceeding three months.
SLIGHT FlRE.—Yestorday morning, about
two o'clock, a fire was discovered in the dwelling
- house of Mrs. McCrudden, No. 1809 Howell street.
The flames originated from the stove upon the first
floor, and burned through into the cellar. The
family of Mrs. MeCruddee were aroused by Officers
Pair and Molieague, and effected their escape
through the second-story window. The fire was
extinguished by the Western Hose Company.
IIieTtEASE Or IMPORTATIONS.—Within the
last two weeks the officers of the custom house have
been kept busily engaged in discharging severst
heavy cargoes of coffee, sugar, molasses, etc. The
principal part of these commodities have been
thrown into bond. The importers have deemed it
financially prudent to withhold them from the
market for the present, hoping thereby to continue
an additional rise in the price of these articles,
especially in coffee, in which there is considerable
speculation, thereby filling their coffers to the dis
advantage of those who are compelled to use these
articles.

The Poi lt of last Owning says
The stockmarket is decidedly firmer to-day, the official
aceffilet . of the disaster to the Burnside expedition ruwl.
tug much more favorable than the first reports by the
way of Fortress Monroe. In fact, it seems to be a sub
ject of congratulation that no heavier losses were sus
tained, when the violence and duration of the storm are
considered. Buyers consequently came forward this
morning in large numbers and for large amounts, at an
advance of Xet% per cent. on the prices of last eve
ning, and in several instances the improvement is equal
to IntlV per cent., with considerable buoyancy.
The'strongest of the speculative list is Cleveland and
Toledo: Rumor says that the directors are large buyeee,
and that some plan is about agreedunon which shall wipe
out the small floating debt that has stood for a long ,tiwe
in the way of a dividend on the stock. Nothing official,
however, has transpired, but the course of the stock
would seem to confirm these rumors of the market The
purchases have been very heavy within a few days, the
price advancing to-day to 40,1 i cash, and 40X buyer
thirty days.

TIIE PLACE TO Buy AI raLtNS.—We need
hardly inform otlr readers that one of the palpable effects
of the war has been a great advancement in the price of
cotton, and, consequently, in the cost of all manufactured
cotton goods. Notwithstanding this, however, there is a
vast difference in the prices Of these fabrics in different
stores. For some years past the house of Messrs. R. D. &
W. H. Pennell, No. 1021 Market street, below Eleventh,
has had the reputation of giving their numerous customers
the best goeds, Or the money, to he had in the city; snore
especially in the domestic line. At the time of the ad
vance in cottons they had sagaciously laid in a very
heavy stock of them, and, foreseeing the prospective ad
vance for sonic months to come, they bought heavily in
anticipation of it. This fact has given their house great
advantages, as the consequence has been to literally
Crowd their store with customem in ail kinds of ',lather
and at all hours of the day. Their general stock of Dry
GOOdR is also very superior. We refer the reader to their
announcement of prices in another column of The Press
this morning, and are sure - it will be read with interest
by all prudent housekeepers.
DR. SOMMERVILLE'S LECTURE AT CONCERT
BALL; Tuts EV.ENIN'a reaßere should not forget
the lecture to be giver' At Concert Hall, this evening, by
Dr. James M. Sommerville. for_ the benefit of the King
. sewing Hospital Aid Society. His subject will be "Tie.
iree—their Origin and Influence."
WARMY APPOLffratENT.-11 e are gratified to
learn that Mr. J. S. Brobst, of Catawissa, Pa., has been
tendered an appointment in the army. Mr. Brobst is a
highly esteemed citizen of Pennsylvania, an energetic
business man, and entirely fitted for any position to
which he may be assigned by the department. We trust
be may accept the appointment offered to him.
AN ARTICLE FOR INVALIDS.-31r. C. H.
Mattson, dealer in tine family groceries, Arch and Tenth
streets, has just received a fresh invoice of superior old
Port and Madeira Wines, specially adapted for invalids
also, Brandies of 'the purest quality, endorsed as such by
some of our most eminent physicians.
A GREAT CoAT.---The buttons on the coat
of John Hancock were of silver, and of American maim
fe-tore. The device was a shepherd shearing hiSSIIOOP--
the motto, 66 You gain more by our lives than by our
deaths." History does not state where the coat was
made, but we have no doubt, had this great statesman
been living at the present day, all his garments would
have been purchased at the Renowned Clothing Establish
ment of Granville Stokes, No. 609 Chestnut street, (one
doo r shove Ilarnden's Express Oilier,) as at this Fashiona.
ble Emporium prices arc regulated to suit the times.
AN AWKWARD CURRENCY.--The giving out
of money down in Dixie is obliging the seceders to fall
back on the primitive pc cun i a —cotton and niggers.
But a bale of the floculent fibre must be rather an
%awkward purse of specie. Just imagine a‘, Secesh "
applying for a new suit at the Brown Stone Clothing
Hall of Eockhill & Wilson, Nos. 803 and 605 Chestnut
street, above Sixth, and °timing in payment a bale of
cotton or a contraband
t‘ For 't ain't quite handy to pass off one o' your six
foot guineas, -
An' git your halves an' quarters back in gals an' picka
niniiies."
Neither such customers nor their peculiar currency
are wanted at the establishment named.
,SANITARY SUGGESTIONS .—The last number
of Hall's Journal of Health has the following: "If
the thermometer is below thirty, no child or lady should
be skating;' to which Vanity Fair replies; ""If the
lady is below thirty and good looking, let her skate, ther
mometer or otherwise. If she is the reverse, let her
slide."
The Journal of Health continues: "The grace, ex
ercise, and healthfulness of skating on ice can be had
without any of its dangers by the use of skates with
rollers attached, on common floors q better if covered with
oil-cloth."
By doing this you will keep your lungs Inflated with
plenty of gourd:lle gas. Yet we don't see the necessity
of being ••covered with eibolOth,"' as directed. IL seems
to ns WO 'Would prefer the Schuylkill and it COYering of
warm winter clothing from Chas. Stokes' " One-nrice,"
under the n Continental."

there is the GREATEST and LARGEST ASS9RT
MEET of °Very make, quality, and price that can be
found. Buying my GOODS entirely for cash, I can offer
greater inducements than many are able to do. My
stock is being constantly replenished, so that persons can
find every variety they may want at prices which I can
safely guaranty cannot be undersold; and at present it
is, I suppose, one of the largest retail stocks of Domestics
in the city. I can sell a very good Bleached Muslin at
