THE CITY. A remarkable BY THE GRAND JURY. Diminished Number of Crimes—Volunteer Re freshment Saloons- Abusesof County Prison — Almshouse—* Dock-avenue Market—illegal Voting. The presentment of the Quarter Sessions Grand Jury for the ensuing term is more than ordinarily individual and interesting. The presentment was made before Judge Allison. We print the presentment in full: To the Honorable the Judge of the Court of Oyer and Terminer and Quarter Sessions of (he Peace for the city and, county of Philadelphia: The Grand IminMt of the Commonwealth of Penn sylvania, inquiring for the c l ty aud county of Philadel phia. respectfully present that they have concluded tlioir labors for the February sewion, 1562 ; that they have, -during said aeaaioa. actyd upon six hundred and twenty eeven bills, of which they have returned four hundred and ninety-live as true bills, and ignored one hundred aud thirty.four. DIMINISH MKNT OP CHIMBS, The Grand Inquest are gratified \9 cV§7IYS tbilt tU& number of cranes has much diminished, And that very few crimes of a higher grado have beeu brought to their notice. A careful examination of the calendar will show, in an extraordinary degree, the peace and good order in our city. VOLUNTEER REFRESHMENT SALOONS. The Grand Inquest, in connection with this subject, deem it but jusli je to those having charge of the Volun teer Refreshment Saloons to state that, iu their opinion, the peace of the city is preserve* and tendencies to disor ders are checked by the admirable arrangements which they have mndt* for the feeding and comfort of the largo number 6f fuddfeiu who have and are pawing ihr/mahoui! city. The comforts so well provided keep the troops to gether and prevent uneasiness of the public mind that would otherwise necessarily exist whenever large bodies of men are suddenly thrown into our midst, and who, for the time, are freed from the restraints of military disci pline. So admirable, in theopinion of tlio Grand Inquest, art the peace mid good order »f tho city preserved, and He eafoare all the rights of person and property, owing to the excellent police arrangements of our city, that wo fool it our duty to call public attention to this subject, anil to express our commendation of that excellent public spirit and devotion to the public good which, emanating from the Mayor, to give eUftiastor to the whole department. COUNTY PRISON, In performance of their duty, the Grand Inquest visited the County Prison and found it in good order, with every care and comfort bestowed upon the prisoners that the convenience of the building would permit * but they have observed, and they present, that the south wiug of the building Is entirely toe small for the large number of per sons confined there. Untried prisoners and vagrants are brought in here often in very filthy cone ition, and, being necessarily crowded together, rentier the cells too small and unfit for hnmnnheinsß to be confined in. ImmtdiatA zneaures should be taken to better ventilate this wing and to enlarge its capacity. There are confined within the convict department of the County Prison seven per sona who are believed to be incurably insane It is es sentia! to thopuhlic good that these persons should be re strained, but the County Prison is not the legal nr proper place For their custody. There S* no place for them ia the Almshouse, for that is for the insane po~r. It would be extravagant for an? crusty in the State to erect buildings and prov de proper accommodations for them, as the number of such persons is so few in each comity. The Grand Inquest are of the opinion that thero should be an asylum provided bv tbe State for all such insane prisoners within ite borders, ALMSHOUSE. The Grand Inquest visited the Almshouse and found it in excellent order, exhibiting perfect fidelity to the pub lic and economy in its management. The insane de partment contains £6l patients, and humanity and true economy require that means should be provided with the view of OUtibg its i&lii&tos Os well as the safe custody- of their persons. It will be found cheaper to cure ten in sane persona whose average residei ce is a few months, than to keep one his lifetime. Early and judicious treat ment will keep t)io number down. Provision for the in sane does not increase their number; it only very pro perly aggregates them. Facility for curative treatment is the great want iu the insane department o£ the Alms house. Medicine, employment, exercise, government, and restraint, are the iue*ua to be used. There is a sad deficiency in the facilities for the employment of lb 9 pa tients. Th* re is not room for ont-door exorcise, nor grounds sufficient to induce the patients to take exor cise In the op£b Air j the wards are too condaed and the yards too limited. The buildings now used for the insane poor could be well used for a house of correction for vagrants aud of fenders, and, if new ’•uildinga are to be erected, we say that the cause «f humanity and public economy aliko re quire that so large a number of the insane poor should have buildings erected adapted to their curative treat ment, and a location where they can have plenty of pure air, sunlight, and room. HOUSE OP REFUGE AND PENITENTIARY, The Grand Inquest visited the House of Refuge. From their observation of the Inmatcß and the present appear ance of the place, they were not favorably impressed with its general superintendence. The Grand luquest also visited the Kas'ern Peniten tiary, aiid were pleased to find the institution conducted In such a manner that it well deserves the public confi dence that is reposed in itstnanagement. DOCK'ATENUE MARKET. The Grand Inquest calls the attention of the court to a building erected over the highway in Water street, above Spruce street. The market company there has erected, over and across the street, a building which shuts out the light and air. It is an infringement on public rights. The Grand Inquest presents it as a public nuisance. « HOPING n RAILROAD OARS. The Grand Inquest also reprobates the practice now in use of “roping” railroad cars over the footways into the coal yards and freight depots in the city. Tho horses being rapidly driven along the street parallel with the footway, the cats are suddenly Mid driYOU 601033 the footway, without notice and without exciting the at tention of the people pawing along. This practice has resulted in the loss of life. It should be repressed by legal enactment. ILLEGAL ARMY VOTING. Tb® Grand Ir»qu**«t have returned a true bill against a defendant for illegal voting for city and county ofiteAra of Philadelphia, at a camp in the State of Maryland. Im pressed with the impnitaiice of the subject, they pursued their inquiries until they became convinced that exten sive frauds, of a highly criminal and dangerous charac ter, had been perpetrated against the purity ot the ballot box. Tli& 4-vji.let-co submitted to them revealed facts of so startling a character that they cannot forbear especially alluding to some of them. At one election poll, held in a camp in the State of Maryland, one hundred and five persons wore returned os votes in a company which consisted only of eighty three tteiuhtrs. In another, sixteen minors, under the nge of twenty one years, were allowed to vote without objection, and in other companies alt the wholesome checks and re straints of law were thrown aside, aud votes received from all persons whatever who chose to present them selves to vote. So rectlPßelf mid go criminally was the election con. ducted In the camps that the election officers seemed to bft?e evinced ft perfect diarega d of the importance or the sanctity of the duties they undertook to perform. The Grand Inquest has received conclusive evidence that upwards of four hundred and forty persons in three regiments alone were allowed to vote who did not belong or were not attached to the company at whose polls they voted. Upwards of sixty minors under the age of twenty-one years were allowed to vote, and whole companies of men, of whon a large portion were unnaturalized foreigners, voted to a man; the officers who conducted tho election saying that, in their judgment, every one had a right to vote who fought under the stars and stripe3 t notwith standing they lacked nil the constitutional quatiScaMons of voters. Returns of elections thus held were taken and carried into the returns, to affect the popular will, as ex pressed by the honest and constitutionally qualified voters of our city. Not only were abuses of this cha racter shamelessly enacted in the camps, but wicked and Signing men, either in or oat of cnaipa, prepared and forwarded returns of elections in companies that never were held, and strove to defeat the will of tl e people, and control tho mnncipal government of our city by forge ries or election returns, and frauds of the most base and infamous character. The Grand Inquest are fearful that the law is powerless to prevent thtee or to reach and pnnish the of fenders. The constituted authorities of onr city have offered a reward of one thousand dollars for such in formation as will lead to the detection and puuishxneut of these offenders, but-, an yet, no information has been re ceived of o character sufficient to base a criminal prose cution upon. The Grand Inquest, in view of these practices, are so well satisfied of the impossibility of conducting elections among soldiers in camp with fairness and impartiality, that th*7 are forced to call public attention to the law providing for each elections as fraught with danger to the best interests of toe citizens, and highly injurious to pub • lie liberty. The elective franchise is too sacred a right, aud its es tablishment cost our fathers too much to be thus dis graced and violate!*, and the best interests of society, in the deliberate opinion of the Grand Inquest, require that this law, permitting elections in camps, far away from the supervision and participation of the citizens, should be erased from the statute book. REMARKS OP JUDGE ALLISON. Judge AHieon refeindiu detail to the various sugges tions made by tho Grand Jury, aud eulogized the exer tions of the committee iu charge of the Refreshment Saloons. In relation to that part of the presentment which wa» devoted to the law allowing volunteers to vote, he eaidi You ref* r, gentlemen, to a bill of indictment found against a defendant for illegal voting at the last general election for city and county officers, at a camp in tha State of Maryland. That hill has boon disposed of, so far as this Court is concerned, by a judgment sustamix.g the <le murrer which was filed by the defendant* fer tile cause assigned—namely, that the law under which the voluu teer soldiers claimed to exercise the elective franchise, at the October ejection, in camp, in the States of Virginia and Maryland, was in direct conflict with section first of the third article of the Constitution of this Common wealth, which provides that every white qf foe age of twenty, one years, having resided in this State one year, and m the election district, where ho offers to vote, ten days immediately preceding such election, and, with in two years, paid a State or county tax, which shall have been assessed At least ten days before tho election, shall enjoy the rights of an elector. The claiuo of the section which a residence of ten days in the election dis trict in which the elector offers to vote , immediately pre ceding the election, a pre-roquirite to the enjoyment of the rights of an elector, is so clear, so free from anibigui tj, that I do not see how a fair and reasonable doubt can j be entertained upon the question. The legal residence of the soldier remains unchanged by thefactof hi* having left the place of his domicile or his election district for the purpose of fighting the battles of his country. If therefore, he votes in an election district in which he never had a residence, or in no election district at ail, bow can it be pretended that this requirement of the Constitution is io any sense satisfied 7 It will sot do to baj that bin vote is recorded and counted iu his proper election district; for the funda mental law of the land, which is superior to all mere stu tntory law, makes no mention of, and has no reference to the purely ministerial acts of election officers, whose duty it is, under the law, to send the vote, aftpr it hal town received, to tho residence of tho voter, td bo there enumerated; but it requires that the offer to vote by the elector shall he in the election district iu which he has resided ten days immediately preceding the election, so that it follows a» a necessary consequence that if the offer by the elector to vote cannot he madt iu his proper district he does not meet this *§imrttal requirement Of tllQ Constitution, and that the law which undertakes to (lid* pens© with It is null and void. As well might the Legis lature undertake to dispense tho qualification of color, with the term of residence in the State, or with tho pay ment of a State or county tax, and the time of its ment. The importance of this qualification iaovideut from the fact that it is insisted upon in each modulation of the general right to vole. A qualified voter of this State who removes therefrom may, upon his return, vote af- i ter six months’ residence, h&vite? resided ,?i the election j district, and paid taxes as aforesaid. So, also, in the I proviso to section first of article three} citizens between the ages of twenty-one and twenty-two years, having j resided in the State one year, and in the eh’.r.linn dix- t irict ten days, aa aforesaid, shall be entitled to vole, »1- j though they thull not have paid taxes The in passing the act of IR'V), t.-, have overlooked the fact that, in this respect, it am«*iul*l . -the C'unaMuUon of 1899, and differed entirety front tho j Constitution of 1790. Nothing of the kind existed in the 1 Constitution of 1790: and this law* when first enacted, if ! restricted in Its application to the Stateof Pennsylvania, j was, therefore, undoubtedly constitutional. But in the j revision or codification of the election laws iu 18£y, when h-e law vlilvli w tin frtnnd tipOn thestfttUtA-boAk ~ le gitimate and valid law under the Constitution ul 1790 . was re-enacted, it was passed in ignorance or in dial egard or the vital change wliich tho new Constitution inauga- ; rated In tbe qualifications of electors, and cannot, there- ' fore, be held In hi l - u valid and binding law. ; 1 have thu* briefly stated several of tho reasons which ; •led me to the conclusion which I have already announced ; •to you, in disposing of the bill to which you refer in ?o*ir ; •presentment; it is but due to the Grand Jury that I uhonld say thus much in reply to a question made by these, hut there are other good and weighty reasons tpliirh might be oasisued in support of tte judijmeiit of the Court, but which it is unnecessary to specify at this line. In relation to the general subject of illegal voting in the campy, and of the extent to which frauds were per petrated, as proved before yon, it all accords with the fecU, which have already become a part of the judicial history of onr fetate. Your investigations have wocea parilv been of the most restricted character; the few witness*s whom you have found within the jurisdiction of the court, and subject to its subpoena, have furnished vou with proof which reveals in part only the enormity of the crimes perpetrated under the pretence of h ,ld }fP sn si Potion in tho camps of ttoroHrataen <mt« jsiaV a the Stab of PemsylTania. These facts show what a mere farce the form of the election was, to how grtat an extent the laws wer* disregarded, officers and nun, iu many inwtauens, prostitutiug them«dvoi to the base purpose of defrauding tho legal voters of the Slate out of their fair and legitimate thus depriving nieu duly elected of tbs hODorg and profits of officer and the citizens of their chosen representa tives, in the various departments of Government It is a matter of surprise, geuilemen, that the Legisla ture now in session has takeu no step looking to the repeal of the law under which these elections were held —a law to productive of crime, so subversive of righ< and jnafcicA, so dangflfaiu !& jk* ps&M ot ths community, so unequal in Us operation, and. to my mind, so clearly violative of the Constitution of our State and at tho ad vanced period of their session ; with no beginning, even made towards wi ping this blot from the statute book, little is to be hoped for in that direction. There i# but one remedy for this evil left to us, and that is to obtain a speedy judicial determination of ihn question, that shall bo final. Ia the law of July 2, 1869, within or without the pale of the Constitution ’ if the former, then we can only wait for legislative relief, however long it may ho before it reaches us; but if the latter, we may congratu late ourselves and the community that there can be no. repetition of the enormities of October last—that dospe raie and abandoned men ehalt not again be allowed to perpetrate wholesale frauds against which honest voters cannot protect themselves, and then bring the result of their crimes to taint the very atmosphere of j ustice in her most sacred temples. The Gra*.d Jury were then discharged. Tile First-Waud Explosion.—The survivors of the late terrible disaster in the First ward, who are at the hospital, were alt getting along comforta bly yesterday. There is quite an improvement in tho condition of all. although a number of them are yet Vy no means out of danger. Miss Ann McKarnan and Misi Isabella Felocey have so far recovered as to be conveyed to their homes. Many of the families of these unfortu nates are in a destitute condition, aud are true objects of charity. A committee, composed of A. N. Macpneraou, of Merrick’s foundry, aud others, have collected, by sub scription, the sum of Bs&P,7s iu aid of the sufferers. Iu addition to this, nearly S2UO were subscribed for the same worthy object through the medium of the Evening Bul letin. These sums, although large, are not sufficient to afford relief to any great extent, the snfferera being so numerous. A portiou of the funds have been placed iu the bandß of Fire Marshal 'Blackburn, who passes a large portiou of his time iu hunting up and reliving the wounded. Among other cases of sympathy related by the Fire Marshal is that of a little boy named John Yeager, aged 14 years, residing with a widowed mother, in Earp street, above Eighth. The mother, who is fast sinking with the consumptioni was obliged to send her son to work at ftkdfcotJL Ai the tlmo of the explosion lie hod both eyes shot out, received a terrible wound in the stomach, and had one of his bauds blown ofT. He was conveyed to bis home, whote he has siuce remained in au insensible condition. The little fellow was still living ou Saturday, but the physician in attendance says tie most certainly] will din, and his living bo long in more than can be accounted for. A younger sister of this un fortunate lad was also badly burned, but she is not thought to be dangerous. This family should receive he speedy attention of some of our benevolent citizens. It seems that the enti-® business of Jackson's factory conducted by bis non Edwin, who was instantly killed by the explosion—thns enttiog off the only source of obtaining the precise amount of powder in the estab lishment at the time of the occurrence. Mr. Jackson, whose testimony has been published iu full, professed entire iguorance in regard to this point, having, as he enye, not yet fully completed all outside arrangement^ Which, deterred him from turning: his attention to other matters of more importance. He, after finishing the present contract, intended to remove the wholr business to Chester, where a building hud already been leased. It teems in the evidence, however, that a larger quantity of powder than the law allows was permitted to remain in this establishment, built within the limits of the corporate city,. at one time, Several years since, tho legislature of the State caastod a law for bid ing the storms, or carrying through the streets of the city, of gunpowder in sufficient quantities to be danger ous to the lives and property of Citizens. Persons were allowed to have two pounds of the dangerous material on hand at one time, and by procuring a ‘‘license 1 ’ aud putting up a conspicuous sign announcing the fact, twenty-five pounds could be aton*d in one piaco and at one time. But this whs tho maximum amount that the law allowed to be stored at one place, or to be trans ported through thecity. The legal penally foraniufrac tiou of this law is a fine of $5OO, which goes to the Asm ciation for the Relief of Disabled Firemen, ami a forfei ture of th© powder. It 2s st pretty notorious fact that this law is constantly defied, and that powder, iu quan tities far exceeding those allowed by statute, are trans ported through the streets and stored in the warehouses and manufactories. The difficulty of giviug this law practical effect is well understood ; but within a very f© w dare the consequences of allowing it to pass unheeded have been demon-trnted by n terrible lesson. Naval Matters. —On Saturday morning, about cloven o’clock, the United States trans port Rhode Island* Lieut. Commanding Stephen D. Trepchurd, kft the navy yard with provisions and letters for the blockading squadron in the Gulf of Mexico. The United Statessteamer Bienville, Commander Chas. Stecdmac, which arrived at our navy yard on Friday evening,brought to this city the romaius of Lieut. T. A. Build and Acting Master L. W. Mather, who were killed at Mosquito Inlet en the 23d of lustmonth. Liont. Budd wa© a descendant of a large and respectable family of Mow Jersey, hut was a native of New York, and was ap pointed to the navy from that State at the age of fourteen. He accompanied Commodore Wilkes in his exploring expedition around the world, and, subsequently, with the consent of the Navy Department, commanded tho steamer California* pljirgbetween Panama and San Francisco. He resigned his commission in 1354, bat at the onlhrtmk of llie iebollion he re* untiled the navy. Acting Master Mather belonged to Connecticut, and pre vious to tho war was a captain in the mercantile marine. The friends of the deceased in this city bad made ar rangements tor the proper reception of the remains, and were greatly facilitated by Capt. Turner, commander of the yard, und Lieut. Rolando. When tbe Bienville ar rived, ex-officer Pennell, of tho Uuitod States transport Rhode Island, sent a boat, in charge of Lieut. Rich mond and a crew, containing a number of the frionds and relatives of tho deceased heroes to the Bienville, where th y were received by ex officer Lieut. Denham, U. S. N., who had received the bodies from Commodore Du pont, at gt, Austin?, Florida, The caws wntaining the bodies were wrapped In the American flag, and were rowed ashore, where a procession, composed of soma ef the naval officers oh duty here, and about one hundred sailors and marines, escorted them to the exit gate of the nAvy yard. The romaius of Mr. Mather were taken to Lynn, Connecticut, on Friday night, and those of Lieut. Budd left for Buffalo on Saturday morning. The Lieute nant formerly resided in Buffalo, and the authorities have made arrangements for a public funeral. Charged with Obtaining Money UNDER FALSE PRETENCES.—On Saturday, iu th© Court of Quarter Sessions, an officer in a volunteer regU meet, now in service, applied to be dismissed from a charge of obtaining money under false pretences. The man who preferred the charge had purchased from the defendant bis pay-roll of the company. The prosecutor elated the facts, from which it appeared that he had a te nant who could not pay his rent—this was in December last—he was the lieutenant in a heavy artillery company, stationed at Camden, New Jersey; he offered to sell the pay-roll, oa he desired to get some money. The prose cutor finally bought thu pay-roll, and gave him $227 for it. Beiore be bought the ptiy-rolHiP ascertained that it was good; when ho went to draw tha money, he found that the lieutenant had made out another roll, on which he get th© money. Il was suggested by Mr, Mann that the Government had not been %heatcd by the transaction. The prosecu tor alone was the loser. Mr. Earle, the counsel for the prosecutor, made appli cation to hold the defendant for conspiracy to cheat and defraud, by forging the name of the lieutenant oqfonel of the regiment* Mr. Bonham suggested that Mr. Earle change his tac tics. First, we have forge* y ; this is set aside. Secondly, cheating Ibe United States Government: this is set aside. Now he sets up conspiracy, wliich he alleges was com mitted in Washington. Can this last charge be sus tained here 1 Jude Allison replied that if the conspiracy wag en tered into here, thru the charge may beentortained. Mr. Earle said his witnesses wert absent, ani he would have them here at any time the judge might name. The court fixed Saturday two weeks ior a farther hearing. Dishonest Bookkeeper.—Larceny OF $6,000. —On Saturday a man far advanced in life, and who is very respectably connected in this city, was before Alderman Boitl&r on the charge of defrauding his employers out of about 96,000 within the past two years. He bad been employed for some years iu au estebSiYC mercantile house ou Delaware avenue, in the capacity ot bookkeeper, aud also had the haudliug of considerable sums of money, lie was looked upon by his employers as a m&uiu every way worthy of the confidence reposed iu him, aud his advanced age aud position Iu society made him appear far aiove suspicion, although the firm had lost, at different times, euros of money iu a manner that could sever be accounted for. At length a watch was set, and sufficient evidence was procured to lead to the be’ief that the money had been purloined by tho bookkeeper, and accordingly he was arrested, taken be fore the alderman, aud is now awaiting a trial before court. Bis mode of procedure was rather novel. When a customer would pay his bill—Fay $l50 —he would enter the correct amount upon the ledger, but in entering it upon the cash-book he would drop the figure “1,” aud enter the amount as cash $5O, reserving the one hundred for his own use. He generally chose small sums to work upoD, as the chancescf detection were less than if he had taken larger ftniountb; but in the space of tiro years ha had managed to purloin the sum mentioned above. The Shad Fisheries. —The supply of shad for the present season is principally derived from the Delaware fisheries, all of which are in active opera tion. Tho SuFijuphanna shad aro few and late in coming to market. Anew dam has been erected at Columbia, which materially interferes with the tabors of the fisher men, as it prohibits the passage ef shad up the stream. Meetings have been held in portions of Lancaster county, and the followiug resolution adopted, viz: That the sup plement to the charter of the Susquehanna Canal Com pany, authorising the construction of a dam at Colum bia, expressly provides that the some shall not impede the ascent of fish, and requires such dam to be of a given height, and sloped “so as to promote the passage ,of fish;” a subsequent enactment of the Legislature, fur ther provides for the construction of said dam so as “to promote the pnasiigti of fish*” Any dam constructed in a m$ nner essentially different from that authorized by law, and placed in the Susquehanna river, would, iu our opinion, constitute a nuisoDce, and as this dam iB noto riously constructed, as you st&to to u», in violation of the terms and provisions of the chatter of the company, aud the several acts of the Assembly relating thereto, such dam is a common nuisance. Ihe company cannot plead & legislative license, for the license does not authorize such a dam as they have constructed, but a structure of u different character, preserving the valuable common rights of navigation and fishing. Ntr can the company avail themselves of any advantage from the lapse of time, forthermistmeecontinue?, and no one can acquire tho right to maintain a public nuisance, and tho length of time the same exists only aggravates the offence. Can a Man Enlist on Sunday I —On Saturday an interesting case was brought beforo Judge AIIIS6H, of the Court of Quarter Seasious* in regard to the onlUtnu nt of a shoemaker, Lamed Joseph Gary, who ktpt a store near Nineteenth and UallowhiU streets. His discharge was asked for on the ground that he enlisted on Sunday, and* therefore, the contract is not binding. The investigation of this case developed tho following interesting particulars* On & certain Saturday, uot long since, bis wife’s sister buried a child. The recruit aud wife attended the funeral, but they were put into the last carriage in the train. Mr. Gary got mad at such treat ment, sprang out of the carriage, went away and got drunk, and on the foil swing Sunday morning went to thg camp of Colonel Frißmmh’R regiment and was an* listed; the captain, remarking that it was Smriay, told him that be bad better come tho next day. Gary was sober at the time; he looked os if he bad been drunk the night or day before, but insisted on the enlistment. The counsel for the rotator also set up the plea of iusanity l>om strong drink. Thejudiz&efct this Aside. The point rniped, ns to the validity of the enlistment made on Sun day, he would carefully scrutinize the authorities, and give bis decision on next Saturday. Fatal Fall—A fatal accident oc currtd on Saturday morning, at the new graiu elevator, at the foot of Washington »ireet. John Mctl*ulh*y. a laborer, wus engagnl at work im the top of one of the iron tanks destined to receive the grain In attenip'ing !•* In m o> « p'**i |; i - ],*. itud f«l! to UttbvUvm vf tto* ttuk, ti ditiUiicti st forty feet* Ooua Filterable time elapsed nofo v. ho could he extricated, by means of a temporary derrick, which hud to be erected lor the purpose. The nufortunato man was taken to the hospital, with bis spine and both lugs fractured. lie died about six o’clock on Saturday evening. Surgeon General Finley.—Sur geon General Clement A. Finley, who has been removed from the head of the Medical Department of tho army and sent to Fort Warren, has been on the m«lical stafr upwards of forty-three yearS| having boon appointed aiirgeeu’fi mate in the First Infantry, August loth, 1848. His commistfiou as surgeou general, with the rank of colonel, a rank which be obtained by seniority on the death of Brevet Brigadier General Thomas Lawson, dates from May 15tli, 1861. Doctor Robert C. Wood, who is at present acting surgron general,.was appointed assistant Miigvofi dfi the 29ffi of Huy, 19'20* wad bos held lus present rank of full surgeon since 1826. Surgeon General Finley was born in Ohio, and ap pointed from that State. He has been n resident, how • ever, of the Twenty-fourth ward, in Philadelphia, and is well known to many of our citizens. Bodbery. —On Saturday evening, about tin o’clock, the dwelling of Mr. Gilbert, on Park street, in the Eighth ward, wa« entered by thieves who stole a suit of clothee, a cloc'*, and eixty-ftve dollars in money. Mrs. Gilbert had left the home for a few mo niwits, and wliilet absent tbs thier«« effected an entrants through a window. SPECIAL MEETING OF COUNCILS Protest Against tbe Pasaage of & “ Street Cleansing' • Bill by the Legislature—The Accident in Independence Square, A special meeting of both branches of Councils was held on Saturday afternoon, in take some action upm certain act* now pending before the Legislature. • SELECT BBaNCH was called to order at a quarter before 4 o’clock by-Pre- B l<W flnvlcr. - ' The call for the meeting was read. 'lt requests a meet ing to consider the bill for the cleansing ot th© streets, now before tL-e Legislature, and other legislation per taining to the city. Mr. Mecauv then submitted th* fallowing : Resolved , TJmt tho city of Philadelphia dopg roßDoet fuily, but most earn* ally, protest auainsl the pasNag© by the Legislature of a bill entitled “ An act to increase the powers of the Bohml of Health of the city of Pniladel pbitt relative to the cieandngot the streets,” and, auioug other reasous lor doing so, they roup- ctfnlly represent to the Legislature— First. That said bill, under cover of a regard for the public welfare, was Darned by private parties for purely personal and selfish objects, and does not emanate eituer from the Board of Health, or from tbe Mayor or Council* of the city ; and. therefore. Second.- Its effect will be to take from the propor au thorities of the city, whose muuicipa! duty it i* to direet th® Oleailfling ftf ths city, as they do It* lighting or its police, an Important part of their pr iper functions; while, in tbe third place, it will clothe a subordinate and comparatively irresponsible department of the municipal government with a wholly unlimited power of expendi ture, and with authority to biud the city by a contract, without limit as to cort. or tlm city having the slightest feuperribiou over such contract, purely for the benefit of private and selfish parties. Resolved, That the joint special commilke »f Coun cils upon legislate n be, and they are hereby, directed, without delay, to take alt proper measures to bring these resolutions of protest befoi© the Governor and Legisla ture* and to prevent the passage of the bill to which they relate. Mr. Fox called forth© reading of tho act. Tbo clerk then read the bill. It vests the Board of Health with full power to enter into a contrast, in the name of the city of Philadelphia, for the cleAnsiag of the streets, and the removal of coal rtn-»t, smhoß, garbage, Ac. Mr, GISNOIiQ tmid that tho people of PhUndolphiahava been imposed upon. Couinuuiicutionp have appeared ia all tho public prints, suggesting modes by which tho street* could be cleaned. There was a time when Phila delphia had the name of being the cleanest and best go verned city in tho Union; but times have changed, and the peopb have been obliged to .trade through mud UfiUl “patience bag ccaeen to oe a virtue.” The citizen*have sought relief in these Chambers m vain, and then they went to the authority from which the municipal govern ment obtained its powers aud asked redress. Either Councils or the Highway Depurlment have been derelict in their duty. Petitions have bcou sent in here, ami a WAS Appointed on the subject, but the proceed ings ot the committee had been smothered. If the High way Department did rot do its duty, lie was in favor of placing the power in the hands of some one who would. Dr. Uhlku was opposed to ihe bill before the Legisla ture. He considert d Councils more competent to attoud (6 the buam&Bft 6f th* l ' City tL&li th© which Is made up from every comity, tie was satisfied that the streets must be rlimned soon orwo would have an epi demic such ns the world has never eeou before. lie knew that from what little scientific and medical knowledge he possessed. Mr. Megauv condemned the practice of tho Legisla iure intvrJWjng with tbe business of Oitjr Councils. Th© members of City Councils are responsible to the people of Philadelphia for their action, but have no control over the membe: from Allegheny or tho one from Berks county. He was in favor of kuoping tho streets clean at all hazards, however. Dr. 13in.Kit UK&iu spoke upon the resolutions. He was A BKiubtr of the committee to consider the proposition, of Mr. Fey&son, and mentioned the understanding be tween the members. He telt a littl© interest in thu mat ter, as he thought tho city should derive some revenuo from the cleauiug of the streets, .removal of garbage, Ac., the same as some European cities do. Mr. Lyxd thought that it was not tbo province of Cppjicils to (licteto to or wkise the Legislature. He considered that the functions of Councils were solely confined to legislating for the city lc ought to be an unusual case where Councils step aside to advise th 6 Legislature. If any bills are particularly injurious to the interestß of the city, the people ate the proper re monstrants, and not City Councils. Mr. L. concluded by remarking that he should vote for the resolution »a » simple and respectful remonstrance. Mr. Fox said that tbo real fault was in the Legislature fixing the organization of Councils in January, and thus delaying the action upon the appropriation bills. After some further discussion, the resolutions were adopt' il* Mr. FOX, upon leave, introduced au ordinance appro priating $5OO for the relief of the widows aud families of Thomas McCabe and Thomas Carberry, who were killed on Friday afternoon by tho caving in of the bank in In dependence Square. The bill was passed finally. Th© Chamber then adjourned. COMMON BRANCH- This Chamber was net called to order until five o'clock, when, on motion, Mr. Trego took the chair, and the call for the meeting was read. The Clerk of Select Council here entered, and an nounced that that Chamber had passed an earnest pro test against the passage of certain bills now before the State Legiplature. Mr. Bakoeu said that lu* had passed a portion of the past week at Harrisburg, and he had observed that the country membtrs took their cue from the city members, who did notdo tboir duty to the city. In many cases the city members did not act with regard to tbe interests of the city. There is a feeling at Harrisburg that the Phi ladelphia Councils wish to dictate, mem bers that we had no disposition to dictate, but that we wish simply to protect our rights. The speaker added that lie had had a conversation iu reference to the street cleaning bill, and showed how wrong it was. it did not appear to be effective, however; and the speaker hoped ihat the resolutions before tho Chamber would pass Unanimously. Dr. Sirks said that ir tho Philadelphia City Council* had passed an appropriation of six, seven, or eight thou sand dollars and directed the Legislative Committee to expend it at Hatrisburg, wo would have no trouble. The Legislature, for the last two or three years, has been a disgrace to this or any Stare It is useless to send auy mere committees to lf we appropriate tea thousand dollars, to buy those scoundrels, we can do something. Otherwise, let us appropriate money enough to buy hemp for the scamps, who are sent from the city to legislate for us at llarri»,burg. We are const am ly startled by the corruption of the body which aits at Har risburg, whil© they ridicule us for sending people there without plenty of money. I shell vote for the roaolutlAWS, though I think it will have no effect, without an appro priation to buy those scoundrels up. Mr. Ckesswei.l also made a brief speech in favor of the protest, and against the bill now before the Legisla ture iu reference to street cleaning. Mr. Quix also tired into the and declared that the persons who were to get tbe contract for cleaa iue the streets from the Board of Health were rotten, and their''scheme was a fraud. Mr. Lououlik said that this special legislation was be coming a curse to tbe city. This law iu reference to cleansing operations would put us at th© soorcy of a mo uopolii The Legi&l&tuie might luwoll go one atop fur ther, and decree that jurors chosen by the courts should represent the people of Philadelphia in Councils. He trusted that thu resolutions of protest would be unani mously adopted. The resolutions of protest tken passed unanimously, as the>' came from Select Council. The ordinance for ihe relief of the families of Thomas McCabe and Thomas Carberry, deceased, wo* then token up and passed finally. Tbe Chamber then adjourned. Delay in the Payment op City “WARRANTS. —There is groat complaint abroad of *lie delay in the payment of city warrants, and the brokers are realizing a handsome profit upon the papt-r in the bands of city creditors. The system operates with parti cular severity upon the teachers in the public schools, who toil hard for the pay they receive (in many instan ces but $2OO a year,) and who have no way afforded them to realize the pittance due thorn, except at a Shave of from Light to teii bet- dOht. If the Warrants duo the teachers on the first of the present month are not promptly honored, it will bo just one year since this worthy class of employees of the city have received their earnings direct from the treasury. The Independence Square Aooi- DENT.—-The coroner’s jury iu the case of the two men— Carberry and McCabe—who were so summarily buried alive in Independence Square on Friday last, have ren dered a verdict of accidental death. Thev exonerate Mr. Lee, tho contractor, from all blame in the premises. He hue, he mitetftu'}, offered to bury tho two men nt lus own expense. It will be seen, also, that Councils have appropriated five hundred dollars for the same purpose. . TnE First Train. —The first freight car over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, sioce tho re. bels took possession of a potion of that road in April last, arrived on Saturday, consigned to Messrs. Colboun & Cowton, corner of Broad and Cherry streets. This is the opening of a new route, aud will contribute largely to increase the trade of Philadelphia with the West and Southwest. Goods by this route are now received from fit. Louis within ten dajs. Charged with Beckless Driving. —Albert Staizell has been arrested on the charge of running over a little child of Alderman W H. Butlor. The accused, it is alleged, was driving a wagon near Cellowbill and Marshall streets, and the child was crushed toy tho wheels. Statzoll was bound over to answer at court. Charles Whiteman was held to bail, on Saturday, by Alderman Swift, for driving a wagon over an old woman at Sixth aud Pine streots. North Pennsylvania Iron Trade. —The iron trade over the lined the North Pennsylvania Railroad bids fair to be of great importance at an early day. The Allentown Bolling Mill commenced operations with three furnaces last week. This is one of the lead ing rolling mills in the country. We are told that no better quality of iron is manufactured in the United States. In six or sovsti weak* everything #lll be In working order. Hundreds of hands can find employ ment who have heretofore been idle. A Libel Suit.— Tho case of John W. Culling, charged with libel, will bo brought uu In the Court or Quarter Sessions to-day. The alleged libel was contained in a letter addressed to the non. E. M. Stan ton, Secretary of War, rererring to frauds upon the Go* vernment in connection with contracts for .hoes. This is the first jury of the April term, and the court will be presided over by Judge Thompson, PHILADELPHIA BOARD OP TRADE. THOMAS KIMBEB, Ja„ 1 ISRAEL MORRIS, > OoMWITHI OP THI MOM*. JOBEPH O.

The Information for this m»p was recently obtained toy A PERSONAL TOUR THROUGH THE SOUTH, as well as by the information given toy THE PRESI DENT OF EVERY RAILROAD; the corrections make it COMPLETE TO THE PRESENT HOUR; and it gives so recent and such valuable facta co&cerniag all the Railroads* that the War Department immediately au thorized its publication, and distributed ONE THOU SAND COPIES among the Generals and Colonels of the Army; that order having been supplied, no further delay in issuing the map will occur, and subscribers can now be supplied at the following prices: In sheets* carefully colored, $l.

Several weighty reasons for purchasing t( HAZ ARD’S RAILROAD AND MILITARY MAP #F THE SOUTH ERN STATES:” Ist. It is the official map, and, therefore, must bo the Wet and moat reliable, which ia everything, particularly at this time, when a good map is of such universal inte rest. This is the ONLY MAP that has been officially adopted for Government purposes 2d. The Coast is so distinct and accurato, it shows every littlo island and inlet, and is as correct as the large maps issued by the Coast Survey Office. §d. it is very 21 i? toy 55 inches and is one of the best specimens of map engraving ever done in this country. 4th. It presents the whole Southern States at one view, and the railroads are so distinctly tqarkod as to show at a glance the most important strategical points. General McClellan hak acknowledged in several com raunicAttons the 11 gnat importiiw to hit mvemtnts of the accurate information in regard to the Southern railroads conveyed in this man Testimasials ol the same character have been received from Prof. A. D. Bachb, of the Coast Survey Depart ment, as to the great accuracy of the coast line, and one hundred extra copies ordered , 4l to distribute among the Commanders of the Atlantic and Hulf which have been furnished. While ADOPTED FOR ITS ACCURACY by the MILITARY Authorities* &9 has been stated, it is yet more especially a Commercial Map, and was at first intended expressly for that purpose. Hence its value will oe uadiminished whan tho war is over, and ronowod attention is dir Acted to that section. It will form a valuable aid in elucida ting the forthcoming report of the Board of Trade ou the commercial and industrial resources of the South, which will describe the extraordinary beauties of parts of the country, bow tho railroada are diverting tbo travel from the Mississippi, and loading to the great commercial centres of the North, &c&c. After what has been said of the great value of this wap to every intellioent man, is there any one who will be without it '! particularly since. its price has been mode as low as that of Inferior maps, in order to keep up with the times. We are coostaotly told by those who already have several of the maps rushed upon,tho public < that they have laid them asiuo and use only this one. Accuracy and Distinctness are tho characteristics of ibis map* the only one sanctioned by the Government. Just published by WILLIS P.
