SnKb hesitationi owing to its indofinite manning! bat
upon the assumption that the hoepltalitiee of the dtp will

tThe special committee, to make arrangements Tor the

done by them on that day—that a »* dinner*' had been
served up at the Continental at a cost of $1,060.50 to the
city. The total amount is $1,999. On motion, the com
mittee were discharged.
Mr. Fox offered the following: An ordinance relative
to the pajniMit of taxes for the > oir i»62
Whereas, in and by au act of the General Assembly
of the CcmmnnwfcAUh of Pennsylvania, parsed the 17th
day of April, 1861, entitled “A further supplement to
an act to incorporate the City of P hiladelphta, H is en
acted in thpf-e words, viz:
“That there shall be an allowance to all payers of
taxes, who shall ray the same in the year for which they
MS Assessed, ftsfoltewe l Five per cent., if paid on or be
fore the first day of April’, font per cent., if paid on or
before the first day of June ; two par cent, if paid on or
before ihe first cay of July. If paid attar the flrsi day
of July, and on or before the first day of September, no
deduction shall be made; if paid after the first day of
September, and on or before the first day of October, an
addition of two per cent, shall be a-lded to, and payable
on the same; and if not paid until the first day of De
cember, then an addition of five per cent . shall be added
to t and payable on the tame.”
And it is thus alio ihtrein f urther enacted, And the
Councils of Philauelpliia shall have the power to allow*
any other percentage forth? payment ef tftlGSi Of Add
» B y other penalty for their non-payment during the cur
rent year.
And whereas the scale of allowance on early pay
ments* and penalties for non-payment, therein desig
nated, will not result io good to the city, inasmuch as,
-whilst said act c- argea a penalty of two per cent, ir the
(OSes bi* paid After the first Joy of September, aud oil or
before the fmt day of October, there ib no penalty what
ever if paid between the first day of October and the first
day of December—thus presenting inducements to tax
payers, after the first day of July, to abstain from pay
ment nntH the mouth* of October and November, and
affording no stimulus for payment in the mouth of Da
ctmber, after the same has been reached, aud will, bo
rides, operate with peculiar harshness and rigor upon our
citizen?, at least during the present > ear.
I. Because of the fact that the rate of taxation for this
year is not evtn yet fixed, owing materially to the great
amount of labor thrown upon Councils iu making up the
annual appropriation bills for the various departments In
tcc short a fipftce of time, by reason of the statute defer
ring the organization of the new Councils after the elec
tion in Ootober until tbe first Monday of January, and
without which appropriation bills it is impossible for
Councils to adjust the rate; so that now citizens will not
be able to av*»l themselvesof toe five per cent, deduction.
11. Because oi the fact that our national necessities de
mand the assessment of a heavy United State* tax in ad
dition to thoßfl of our own State and city, aud it. there
fore, behooves the city, in view of the increased,burden,
to be aUenient with regard to tbe tax-payer as the most
favorable circumstances of the case will possibly afford.
111. Because of tbe present extensive rebellion busi
ness is paralyzed, thousands out of work, families suf
feriDg, partly by a dearth of employment and
partly by the absence of thirty-four thousand of our fel
low-citizens, many of whom are heads of families aud
lax-pa>ers, fighting in defence of the Constitution and
Union; and thus large numbers are without the know
ledge of tbe requisitions of said tax bill, exposed to its
penalties; and even if the same be known, unable to avail
themselves of its allowances, tbU3 working a tnauifestm
juettav to many of those who bear the burden of the city
Government: therefore, the Select and Common Councils
of the city of Philadelphia do ordain:
Section 1. That an allowance be made to all payers
of taxes at tbe rate as heretofore, of twelve per centum
per annum on all city taxes assessed for the year 186*2,
paid by them prior to the first day of January next, and
lb at the penaltU4 Of two ©Sist and five per cent, re
spectively, authorized by said act of assembly to be
added in cose of non-payment as specified, be, and the
same are hereby, remitted.
Two tills making appropriations for the payment of
road damages in the First anu Eighteenth wards wore re
ceived and referred.
A resolution releasing tbe of A. W. Juvonal,
late superintendent of the Girard Estates, waa to.
Mr. Fox presented a comcuuuic*tiou from the Com
missioner of City Property, inviting the attention of
Councils to the room of the Court of Common Pleas,
which is now In a most filthy condition.
In connection with the communication, Mr. Fox of
fered an ordinance to provide for the better drainage and
ventilation of the buildings In Independence Square, at ft
cost of ftliOOO Tho ordinance was agreed to.
Mr. Fox a ! so offered an ordinance to purchase a piece
of ground in Vaitruount Park yet remaining in private
hand?, that the drainage now running into the Schuyl
kill, above the forebay, may no longer exist. "Referred.
(We learn that tbe cost of tho ground will be about
$•250,009. The object of the bill is not toe immediate
puschase ‘■•f tbe ground, but to prevent tbe erection of
Rpy«ip ntive buildings upon the premiss by thus noti
fying tlie owners of ihe intention of the city to purchase
the property. At present there are Btables upon it, and
tbe draiuage running into the Schuylkill ha» its effect ou

A resolution was offered, requesting the Legislature to
pass the bill repealing an act which allows five ner cent,
to the Receiver of Taxes oh fIU outstanding taxes,

of a Dumber of city officials were concurred iu.
Ah ordinance, making au appropriation of $66.46 to

was concuried in.
The resolution from Common Council relative to cleans •
ing the strt-eta by the old contract system was read.
Mr, WEtiMiY moved its indefinite postponement, which
was lost.
9 The bill was then referred to the Committee on High
ways of Select Council.
fe-Mr. Dodcheuty offered a resolution instructing the
Chief Commissioner of Highways to have the streets
cleansed in the best manner possible, At the shortest
notice, cud so continue to do until otherwise ordered.
EeVfeMQ teetzibero arose and denounced In strong terms
tbe “conflict system.” aud statel that they would never
again rote to have the streets cleansed in this manner.
Tjhey remarked they ftad hud a fair sample of tnia thieving
ZjMteip. durirg tho last year, and would not vote the pub
lie money awsy as it had been.
The debate was continued for some time, and VfM &<*
uninteresting as it was useless. Tbe resolution wa3
finally, tunended that a record of tho treats oeaiuedj
number of men and horses employed, aud the expenses
incurred, be kept; also, that tho disposition of the dirt
and the price realized be reported.
Mr. Wktiiebill uu.ved further to amend, com
plrinte for the mm-conformance of the resolution be re
poned to the Committee ou Highways, whose duty it shall
then be to impeach the Chief Commissioner of Highways
for neglect of duty.
Mr. Fox whs opposed to this, as complaints of a trivial
character, yet well founded, might be preferred. Ho
’.bought this would be inviting communications of com
plaint from eltiitet.S.
Mr. W’htiieiui.l finally modified his amendment, that
if any well- found* d complaints are made the committee
shall report the same to Councils.
Mr. Me>jaky favored the amendment. If there was a
negltct of duty Councils had a right to know it, and he,
for one* would record his vote for the expulsion of any
man who did not conform to fh? gtrivt tetter of tho
Jaw.
The amendment was finally agreed to, and the resolu
tion passed
The resolutions frem Common Conncil urging the Le
gislature not to pass the act to provide for tire consump
tion of gas, Ac., were concurred in.
The Messrs. Ginnodo, Hegary, tVe
tberil!* TJhler* and 'VYeav&T as & special &6Wtbities to con
sider & ccimouuicMtiifu rvhitive to cleaueing the streets.
The Chamber now resolved itaelf into a Committee of
the Whole for the purpose of considering the bill from
Common Conncil making an appropriation to the Con*
tro'lers of Public Schools. Mr. Ford in the chair.
After making some unimportant amendments* the com
mittee rose* and reported the bill, which was thou agreed
to.
The bQI from Common Council to fig the tax rate for
2.862 was taken up.
Mr. Wktherill believed that the rate of 2 per cent,
was entirely too email. He exposed the blunders in the
report of the committee* ana criticised it aaver&Jy. Ha
moved to raise the rate to 82.25.
Mr. Fox said that the main feature of deficiency
Spoken of by Mr Wetherill, bting 9650,000, was an item
of interest which bad teen carried for several ye trs, aad,
in view of the present distressed condition of the times
and country, be would carry that Item still farther, uutil
peace and prosperity return, when we could bettor fasten
these deficiencies upon an exhausted community than
now. Outside of this item be believed that two dollars
would he sufficient and leave a margin of afeoat £70,000
for emergencies.
Mr. Mxgary hoped that Councils would see the neces
sity of making the rate fully equal to the municipal ex
penditures. The practice of making it tyy }yw, and then
oklttg oat tbe deficiencies at the end of the rear by loans,
was suicidal to the credit of the should be aban
doned at once. The custom was inaugurated by political
rascals for party purposes, and in the hope that the peo
ple could be dtluded into the belie! that they would not
have to pay the deficiences thns created at last. The
pAoptowill not tamely submit to any such imposition.
Hereafter the course of Councils will be closely scruti
nized, and any attempt at the old political game of pay
ing taxes by creating persnnial loans, will receive the
condemnation of tbo people. “Pay as you go” is the golden
rub, both t f corporations And of merchants.
The further consideration of ehe bill was then post
poned until the next meeting* when it will be tho modal
order of the day.
The Chamber then adjourned.

A message was received from the Mayor, stating that

tion or gw consumers, and the passage of thesupplenuat

The ordinance from tho Financo Committee, fixing the
tax rate at P 2 on tho buudred* was taken up.
Mr. llaapbr believed that if tho rata of two per cent,
was adopted, there would be a deficiency at the end of
tbe year. He said that the real expenses would be just
$851,001 more than the estimate of the Finance Com
mittee. Ha wished a rate fixed that would leave a margin
at the end of the yearjft
Mr. Frmhan said that the principle of true govern
ment was to pay its indebtedness »s it occurs. He be
lieved that the higher the tax, the less would be the ex
penses. He was in favor of the highest tax-rate. The
people then would demand Ices expense on the part ot
the city. . . _
Mr. Lbigh thought there were good reasons to fix the
rate at the highest amount, say 8*2.40. Ho was in favor
of a rate that would bring the account out square at the
end of the year.
The first section'of the ordinance, making the tax-rate
$2, was than passed • The second section was then passed.
It apportions the amount as follows:

The “Dinner” at the Conti
NENTAL.—Yesterday morning, in the District Court,
Judges Slmrswood and Hare, the argument on ihs bill in
equity filed by George JT. Lewis and George Smith, citi
zsj.s and tax payers, praying for a Speciri And perpetual
injunction to restrain the City of Philadelphia from ply
ing the cost of the late dinner by Councils to ihe Legis
lature, at the Continental Hotel, was commenced and
concluded, and the case held under advisement by the
court.
Tho main point of the complaint is, that tho appropria
tion for the dinner is in violation of the 24tli bsgUgu af
the act of May 23th, 1850, which provides that “it shall
not be lawful for any department or committee of said
city, or the officers thereof, or for the prison inspectors,
to draw any moneys out of tho City Treasury, or to use
any savings, or the proceeds pf the sales of any work or
materials for or in any office, department, or prison, or
any revenues whatsoever thereof, for any entertainment,
oftljpg, drinking, or Bmoking ftirnuhed to any members
or officers of said city corporation, department*, or
officers thereof, or of said prison.
In answer to this, it is contended that, since the year
1701, it has been the custom of the city to extend a
dinner to tbe Governors and Legislature of the Common
wealth, and instances were cited of dinners having been
given by the city to Governor Penn, Governor Mifffin,
end other eminent persons.
That an act Of the Legislature, passed some years
since, expressly legalized this custom, and that act was
continued by th) Consolidation act. That the section of
the Consolidation act which it is claimed has been vio
lated was passed with a view to prevent the heads of
departments, such as prison inspectors and others, from
misappropriating tbe fund*, and had no reference to
Councils, who represented tho corporation of tho city,
and are not within the meaning of tho act.
Hotv the Efficiency of the Eire
DEPARTMENT MIGHT BE PROMOTED—The fol
lowing plan has beeu suggested by a correspondent, in
order to avoid delay and constituent loss in getting to
work at fires, also tho great ©*pence of steam and hand
fire engines, by entirely dispensing with them, and gene
rally to promote the efficiency of the Fire Department:
Atone, or more,or all the Water-works, have a hy
draulic ram, forcing water from thoreservairinto a stand
pipe, high enough to throw water over the highest
houses.
The water should be maintained automatically at the
required level by a fio*t WUIWCtcd with & valve in tbe
supply*pipo of the ram. From tho stand-pips the water
Bbould flow through special mains, (one iu every third
or fourth street would be sufficient,) connected with each
other every eight or ten squares, to give a supply of wa
ter from each side. At intervals, along the streets hav
ing these mains, have fire-plugs, with several very large
orifices. There eboultl be Immense hose, carried o l car
riages* to be used the water from plugs far
and near to the fire, where ordinary hose are attached
(thus saving the expense of having mains on
street). By this plan, in connection with a paid fire
department, very little time would be lost, aj tbe large
bos* carriages would be driven by horses to the nearest
fifth (a&certnmed by the firemen fiom maps,) ami attach
ot, and then to tbe fire, or vice versa, as would be quick
est, the bose paying itself out, and the moment the fire
is reached the small hose would be attached, and playing
on the fire commence.

Uncertainty OP THE LAW.=Henry
Schmidt has been held to bail to answer tho charge of
stealing unfinished coin from the Uuited States Mint.
The offence was committed about four years ago, when
the offender was arretted and taken btforo United States
Commissioner Heazlett, who investigated the charge,
tinder direction of District Attorney Vandyke. The
accused was discharged on the ground that As the offence
did not come within the act of Concrest, he could not be
tried in the United States Court. He was afterwards ar
rested by the State authorities and held to answer the
charge of larceny, and gave bail for his appearance at
. court. Upon bis liberation he retired to a farm iu Mont*
gomeyy county, where he remained until within a few
days past, when be waß arrested on a bench warrant
and held to answer as stated.
Primary Schools.—That there are
more primary schools, and better accommodations need
ed, in certain of the city, is evident to every
one. Some of tfaese schools are so crowded that pupils
are required to wait for several months before they can
be admitted, and when admitted are huddled together in
small imventilated rooms, which proveß destructive to
their health and learning. In nearly every school sec
tion there are numerous Jar* e and suitable buildings,
which could be obtained f?r this purpose at a roaionublfl
coat, but for some reason or other this matter has been
entirely neglected by the proper authorities. The young
beginner should not be compelled to wait for months,
w hen the time arrives for him to enter school. A suffi
cient sum of money is spent each year for educational
purposes to entirely remedy this great evil.

about eight hundred licenses; whereas, according to cou

dred estobUahments where liquor is sold. The time for

A charge was read against Bev. Q. 6. Thompson, for
“matadiumifltrttttOQ,” sinned by George Stuvonaand Jo*
seph Jones.
The question involved in this charge seems to be,

mitted into Another pastoral charge, without compliance
with the discipline in such cases provided for 7”
Bev. P. Co-mbo representing the caso, stated that ha
■waa prepared to prove that the expelled member had

Tbe amount recoivcd last Conference for this noble
purpose was which was divided among twenty

Upon tho naino of Bev. A. T. Scott being called, Bov.
J. A. Maepyy interposed some objection to him. upon the
groiuid that Mr. Scott is the Qutbor of a publication in
which the views of Mr. Wesley are differed from, in soma
non-eßdtntial points. Mr. Massey had not conversed
with Mr. Scott.
The course of arresting a man upon a
thus summarily brought was objected to by several
members.
A motion was made that hia character pass.
ItaY. T. B Miller objected to its passage, becauso lie
fiifieicfi from Methodist doctrine, and ho wanted the mat
ter mot fairly ai d squarely.

favor of Mr. Scott, and declared that he was one of the
be6t men in the country, and prayed that we had five
hundred each men; which was heartily respond© Ito all
over tbe Conference.
Ber■ J< A, filaee&y opposed Ihe though oi*
pressing great love for Mr. Scott.

Tbe Rhode Island left with provisions and supplies on
tbe sth of February, lor the vessels composing the block
ading fleet, and sbe went os far as the Rio Grande, at
which place she left the United States sloop Portsmouth,
having in charge a large number of vesse's which had
been prevented from entering the Rio Grande, they
having contraband goods on board. The Rhoss
Ivft the Rio Grande on the ist of March, and stopped at
Key West oh her way home, but she brings no late news.
During her absence sbe has supplied over one hundred
United Rates vessels, and received fr m the various
places at which 6he touched a large mail. As the ship
needs but few repairs, her stay in port will be brief.
The prisoners were transferred, yesterday afternoon*
to MoyamenaiUjl Px-lecm, where they will remain till an
opportunity occurs to remove them to Fort Warren*
iu Bcston harbor.
These men are mostly fishermen and pilots, intimately
acquainted with the intricate navigation of the Gulf, and
have been seized by the rebel Government and compelled
to navigate its vestals, or htfo done so of their own free
vriii, most probably the latter.
The Rhode Island was lying at the lower wharf, yes
terday, discharging her cargo of goods, captured from
tbe rebel ship Magnolia and others in tbe guif stream,
consisting of cotton, rifles, coffee, Ac. She will remain
hero some ten days taking in supplies for the blockading
equadro;*, after which she will again proceed southward.
Some of the prisoners were ioAveyed to Uoyamenaiog
3 esterday afternoon, just as the Juniata floated into tho
river. They looked somowhat depressed in spirits, but
said nothing.
Opinions Delivered.—Yesterday, in
the Supreme Court, Chief Justicotiowriß and Justices
Thompson, Strong, and Read, tbe case of Fallon vs. Fallon
was decided, and tbe decree of the Common Pleas was
affirmed, thus deciding that the writing in dispute was
not an assignment for the benefit of creditors, ae that
would, the court said, be an act of injustice to the credi
tors themselves. The paper is interpreted to be a sale to
the Duke of Rianzares* through the intervention of trus
tees, and the price to be paid by him ia the auiouut of the
debts, and for the payment of tbisjie has pledged tho pro
perty sold and his own, other property also, by placing it
in the hands of the defendants as trustees. The trans
action Is, therefore, a sate with a security, anologoui to a
mortgage for th« purchase money, rather than an assign
ment tor the benefit of creditors*
Duncan vs. Reed. Judgment reversed, and judgment
that the plaintiff recover of tbe garnishee, Charles M.
Reed, the sum of $10,952 96 and all costs, and that on
the paj mens thereof by him ha be discharged from so
much ol tho debt due by him to the defendants on the
original judgment, on account of their 4?pQBit of ttVttVJ
In his hands , and the record is remitted.
Zellner’fl Appeal. Decree affirmed at the coats of tbe
appellant.
McKeen’s Eaecutors vs. Stewart. Decree affirmed
with costs.
Whitely vs. Breicig, Argued by Alexander E. Brown
and Ji H. Oliver, Esqb , for plaintiff In error. The Court
declined to hear A. H. Reeder and S. A. Bridges, Esq*.,
for defendant.
HcKetn vs. Stewart. Argued by Marx, Goepp, and A.
35, Brown, Sees., for plaintiff in error. The Court de
clined to hear ti. D. Maxwell vud P. Me Jail, Kaus., for
defendant in error.
Mnlu,HNi ... uiiu.i
UtUbit 1 * Appeal. Argued by Mars and Ruuk for plain
tiff in error, and J. H. Oliver, Esq., for defendant in
error.
Excitement at a Graveyard.—lt
was rumored about Wedeekday afternoon that the corpse
of a woman, which was said to have petrified, was at
Uii Fraxsclsvllle burial ground, at the corner of Wylie
and Perkiomen street, in the Fifteenth ward. The ru
moT was pretty well circulated in that vicinity, and in a
Bbort time some three hundred persons assembled about
the graveyard. Demands to see the body were made,
butthesextou steadily refused them Some of the people
became quite infiiflQftQt At tho refold of the loxton. And
ior ? * e ’ sr J? 4nntee i ll ** 6 a serious disturbance was threat
ened. The presence of a couple of policemen, however,
prevented an outbreak, and ttie crowd dispersed without
having had their curiosity gratified.
Erection of New Stores The old
dwelling-house at Ninth and Chestnut streets, belonging
to the Bnrd estate, will be demolished, in a few weeks, to
make room for three handsome marble-tront stores. Two
of the contemplated buildings have already been taken
by parties who intend to occupy them.
