he Calla. Theee itu,A be ocd..r in ttits chamber, and
-the messenger will put out any person who is guilty of
creating disorder.
Mr. BARGEE said that when frauds were proved in
the regiments referred to by the previous speaker (Air.
Leigh), he would lute for punishing the perpetrators.
Mr. DAnrun attacked the Democrats for not abiding
by the agreement of the party, made some weeks ago.
Be neees.,d the Dentocrata of breaking faith in that
matter.
Dr. Sires rejoined. He said that the committee to set
tle the Nineteenth-ward case had proceeded legally. Each
party was represented by its attorney, and its action was
taken on an assured basis, after time bad been given to
-the People's party to prove frauds in the Nineteenth
and they had been unable to show, by a single
witness, that atrandhad been perpetrated iu that ward.
lfad the People's parry had a single witness, we would
Lave opened -the boxes and counted the vote. If they
bays the meet even to-day, let them contest the seats,
for love traail-e theiamAttcr of the cauiration of the legal
time.
Mr. Cr.E:SWELL bitterly attacked the writer of a com
munication on the Nineteenth-wand question, signed
•' Omega," which had been published In a daily paper.
Be saio the signature was significant. Truly the com
munication was "the last "—it was the scrapings of the
barrel—and was disgraceful and scurrilous to the last de
gree. The speaker defended his conduct in giving the
casting vote in the committee by which Messrs. Hulse
man and Brinkworth had obtained their seats.
Mr firm offered an amendment to Mr- Barger'e
resoirtion providing for the punishment of 4 i any other
fraud or frauds committed at the late October election."
Mr. Qua supported his amendment, and declared that
the conduct of the People's members in upholding the
Nineteenth-ward fraud was disgraceful to the last degree.
LEIGH replied to Mr. Quin. and said that he was
glad that the "galled jade" (Mr. Cresswell) ,winced.
Me added that the People's men did not claim their seats
:in the Nineteemli ward on any army vote, but they did
.claim their seats on the legal vote in the ward. This was
why they wanted the boxes opened in the Nineteonth
azel the votes TVVAIVItciIs
Mr. Locontar: advocated the resolution of Mr. Bar
ger, with Mr. Quip's amendment. He maintained that
the terms of the agreement were acted up to by the De
mocrats in the committee on the Nineteenth-ward case,
and that Mr. Leigh's statement was incorrect. From
time to time the committee adjourned to give an oppor
tunity to the People's men to prove frauds in the Nine
teenth ward, and nor NM to do it. Their petition was
- vague and informal, and did not comply with the act of
Assembly. The onus was thrown on the People's men
in the contest, and they failed utt.rly to make out a
case.
Mr. HARPER attacked the Democrats Tot their conduct
is comm.ttee. He said they did not examine a book or a
'hox, and they actually refused to hear the evidence of
Mr. Cuyler himself, their own president of Select Conn
-who hat Leen Instrumental in ma - lEll3Bllm pgreement.
?bey had refused to carry out Me jot or tittle of the
pledge by uhich•they were bound.
The preamble and resolution were then adopted, Mr.
Barger accepting Mr. Quin's amendment.
Mr. Womlyar called up the ordinance from Select
Council, providing for the election of heads of depart
cinema on the Jast stated meeting in January, or any
stated meeting in February-
While it was under consideration, the members of Se
lect Council entered the chamber, and Mr. Cuyler took

THE LOCAL AND FOREIGN TRAFFIC OF THE
PXNNSYLVANIII RAILROAD.—Withont doubt, the line of
transatlantic steamers 'ram this port, which has been
talked of so long, and has even been attempted in a man
ner, will be established in good time. But it will never
be established through any laudable pride or eeltonicri
ficing spirit of our commercial men, or even as a mere
Speculation_ 7he day will coma when it must result lu
an inevitable necessity of the Pennsylvania Railroad's
enterprise
The liret step to link our seaboard with the interior
was the construction of the iron draw-bridge over the
Schuylkill, below South street. The bridge has now
been completed several months. It consists principally
of two permanent spans, each of 192 feet, and one pivot
span (the draw) of the same length. To support this cen
tral span a middle pier is built. The bridge is about
fourteen and a half feet wide and about nineteen feet
high.
The bridge being, at its lowest point, twenty-six feet
above high water, the navigation of the river is in no
wise interfered with, and the necessity of opening the
draw is quite rare. Cars passed over the bridge, for the
first time, about a week since.
The second grand improvement of the company was
the construction of the grain elevator—otherwise known
as the Delaware terminus of the road. We have already
entered fully into a description of its details, and princi
ples of operation. It is, perhaps, the most complete
strncture of its kind in the country, rivalling in magni
tude those of the - Empire City.
The two improvements were commenced about the
same time—in July or August last, wo believe. The be
nefits which are to accrue from them are the bringing
of an increased Western trade to our city. the with
drawal of the heavy burden cars from Market, Third,
and Dock streets, and the shipment of freight direct to
New York or elsewhere. Hundreds of thousands of
bushels of grain can be brought from Chicago to this city
without change of conveyance, and can be emptied into
the holly of vessels 013 the Delaware by means of steam•
machinery. In Addition to this, the prospect is held out
that, before many years have passed, we shall become
as great a pork-packing metropolis as Cincinnati now is.
The hogs are to be brought to this city alive, and, after
being guillotined, willebe converted into pork for Euro
pean consumption. It is estimated that the offal alone,
resulting from their slaughter, will defray all the cost of
transportation.
AN to their local improvement, the company have not
been Quite ea eneeeeeful. Iu DecombeY last Aft ofdlnanoe
was reported in Councils from the Committee on High
ways authorizing the Mayor to lease the railroad on
Market street to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
for thirty-three years, at a nominal rent. In the dis
cussion which ensued, it was stated that if the measure
were adopted the company would be willing to relinquish
second and Third streets—thus abolishing the nuisance
of hauling heavy freight cars through thooo thorough
fares. it was also statad by one of the inembert that
the Markel-street Railroad was simply to be need as a
feeder, to convey passengers to West Philadelphia,
where a new passenger depot would be erected. In the
construction of the new bridge, and the use of Prime
street, regard to the foreign trade was simply had ; and
that in making these improvements it had never been
designed to supersede market street. Those reasons,
however, were not deemedsatisfactory, and the ordi
nance.,
was voted down by a small majority.
The company, nevertheless, has made a complete re
nee al of their Market-street track, from . Market-street
bridge to their depot at Eleventh street. In place of the
old cast-iron rails they have introduced a new pattern of
Wrought:iron rail, manufactured nt the Pluonix Iron
Works, and have also introduced amore advantageous
method of laying them.
Being prohibited from unloading their cars on the main
tracks of Broad, Market, Dock, and Washington streets,
the company gave notice, some two weeks since, that all
such freight as lumber, staves. hoop-poles, shingles,
shooks, coal oil, rock oil, and petroleum (crude and re
fined) would in tutors be delivered at West. Philadelphia,
instead of at the freight station, corner of Thirteenth and
Market streets_ Commission merchants and others, bow

them in the company's cars.

on Monday nest, at Sansom-street Hall, when the an

MILITARY IrtaktßßA.L.---Yesterday aftefnoon,
the funeral cf Lieutenant Arthur Gibbons, late of the
110th Pennsylvania Regiment, took place from the resi
dence. No. 92.1. Spruce street. The deceased was welt
known in this city, having (Injured an ostensive ac
quaintance, especially among the dry-goods jobbing
trade, in which he was engaged prior to his enlistment.
He was universally esteemed by his brother officers, and
the men under his command, and everywhere was ad
mired for his many noble traits of character. He was a
brave and daring _soldier, whose loss will be'severely felt.
He was born in the county Westmeath, Ireland,. and,
though a resident in this country but a few years, en
tered heartily into the noble cause in which so many of
his countrymen are now engaged. He died at Camp
Curtin, Rarrrisburg, of typhoid fever, on the 25th Ind,

OPERATIONS OF TILE HOLTSE OF INDUSTRY.—
About 150 persons have been fed during the past month
at this institution, which is located. on Catharine street,
above Seventh, and from forty to My pet week have
been furnished with lodgings. There are made at the
house an average of eighty quarts of soup per day, and
several hundred pounds of bread each week. 'She largo
work-rootn for women had not been ensued this winter,
for the reason that many who formerly eolicibgi work at
the house are now engaged in sewing for the Govern
ment. From thirty to thirty-five women are furnished
With employment at sewing carpet rags, for which a
ready sale is found. Thu schools of the House of Indus
try LOW number fifty-five white children and seventy
colored, all of whom are provided with dinners,. and
some with shoes and necessary clothing. Medicines are
furnished gratuitously to the poor.
The managers appeal to tne public to contribute to
the institution, to enable then to continuo their praise
worthy labors.
MALICIOUS MISCinEF.—A man, named Wm.
E. Tucker, a member of the Sixty-seventh Regiment P.
Y., encamped at Camac's woods, was arrested on Wed
nesday- for malicious mischief, awl committing an as
sault and battery upon Mrs. Malone and °Ruler Jack
son. Mrs. Malone keeps a grocery store in Marion
street, above Jefferson. Tucker went into her store
while intoxicated, and demanded liquor. Mrs. Malone
replied that she did not sell the article. Tucker por•
nista] in hie demand, end finally jumped behind the
counter. Mrs: Malone remonstrate d with him, when he
seized her by the throat and threw her' upon the 11 . mr.
He then upset the counter, and proceeded to break things
generally. Officer Jackson, who attempted to arrest
Tucker was assaulted but succeeded in getting him to
the station-house. Yesterday morning the prisoner had
a hearing before Alderman Rees, and was held in $l,BOO
bail to All,ver.
ATTEMPTED ROBBERlES.—Yesterday morn
ing, between one and two o'clock, the house of Mrs. Don
nelly, 935 South Tenth street, was entered by three men,
who forced the lock of the front cellar door. Before
they had time to commence work, Mr. Rogers, residing
next deer, saw them and sent one of his family in the
yard to prevent them from getting out of the back way,
while he went front and secured the cellar door. They
forced their war through the yard, however, and escaped.
On Wednesday night the police of the Second district ar.
rt-eted Andrew Eowder for a supposed attempt to pot. It
toms that the accused went into Kline's lager-beer sa
loon at German street and the Passyunk road, and passed
through into the kitchen while the attention of the pro
prietor was directed elsewhere. As the only passage to
the upper part of the house is through the kitchen, and
the servant girl was dispatched on a trivial errand by
Sowder, itis supposed that he intended to rob the place.
Re was committed by Alderman Dallas.
HEARING of GrILCHRIsT.—The case of Gil
ehriet came up for a hearing before tinned Stated Com
missioner Bellalett, day before yesterday, and was Conti
need during yesterday_ The most prominent witnesses
were Officer Franklin, chief of our detective depart
ment, and Mr. L. C. Baker, chief of the Government de
tective department at Washington. Other witnesses
were likewise examined. from whose testimony it ap
peared that the defendant bad obtained articles contra
band of war upon fraudulent representations, and had
forwarded them to the South. A conviction is almost
inevitable.
CITY ITEMS.
Lecture by Dr. James M. Sommerville at
Concert Hall Last Evening.
A lecture was deliVered at Concart Hall, last evening.
by Tiones M Sommerville, M.. D., of this city, for the
benefit of the Hingseasing Hospital Aid Society. His
subject was, Pictures—Their Origin and Influence.
The audience was small, but of a,ery respectable cha
racter.
The lecturer was introduced to the audience by Caleb
Cope, Du., who said that, some years ago, an institu
tion had been infdguratect In this city, entitled " Tho
Philadelphia Art union," one of the advantages of
which had been the annual delivery of a lecture upon
the subject of the. Fine Arts. Of late years, however,
this custom bad been neglected, and the Arts had had
their lips sealed to the public ear ever since. With a few
highly complimentary remarks upon the lecturer's compe
tency to do justice to the subject he was about to discuss,
Mr. Cope concluded his introduction, and Pr. Sommer
ville commenced his leetnre.
The origin and the influence of picture% tie said in
opening, were eminently peaceful. From the beginning
of his existence Rhea been a trait in man to resells me
morable events from the destructive influence of thee by
some rude resort to art. In illustration of this, the
means employed by the race in different countries and
ages, for this purpose, were referred to, beginning with
the commemorative stones set up by Jacob and Joshua,
and the hieroglyphs of Egypt.
The influence of the fine arts t..as to eleeate and
refine. They also linked different races of men in
profitable intercourse. The Greeks—the most brave
and refined of nations—had. he said, set as high an
estimate upon their arts as had the Trojans upon their
palladium. Upon a cursory inspection the fine arts
might seem but instruments of amusement, but upon
closer examination their value would be found far
higher end nobler.
The influence of pictures upon individuals, from the
little child to the mightiest man, was ahnost magical.
Nor was their influence even lost upon the lower ani
mals, a few well-known historic instances in proof of
which were given. In referring more especially to the
influence of pictures upon children, the effect of school
book illustrations was guile effectively set forth. The
impressions for good thus made upon the youthful mind
were often as indelible as if graven with a pen of steel,
and in after years gave shape and character to thoir in
clinations and pursuits.
The lecture, upon the whole, however, was not as well
conceived as we had haped it would be, as no theme is
more worthy of popular treatment. Much of it was su
perficial and desultory, and evidently dry to the au
dience, their only outburst of applause having been
elicited by a rather far:fetched allusion to the asters
and stripes"—an effect certainly quite as compliment
ary to the patriotism of the audience as to the taste
of the lecturer. Dr. Sommervllle's delivery is also
susceptible of improvement, being rapid and frequently
indistinct. As we understand that the public are likely
to hear of him in this field of eloquence—the lecture
platform—frequently in future, a little attention to the
elocutionary defects here referred to will be serviceable.
lie next lecture is lobe given in the city of Buffalo.
