MEETING OF COUNCILS. The Mayor Officially Recognizes Comnion Column, and Mr. Trcgo Prcsident—Reeon- Biderntl on of the Vote in Select Council, by which the Democratic Faction of the Common Branch was Atecognized—Dis graceful Scenes in Common Council—Bu siness at a Dead-Lock. SELECT BRANCH. • The Chamber wee . , called to order by Mr. LYND, President. The reading of the journal was dispensed with, after a sharp debate as to the duties of the clerk, and his neglect in this instance to transcribe the minutes to the proper book instead of having them printed. A message was received from the Mayor, stating : "The Mayor takes this occasion to inform the pre sident and members of the Select. Council that he has officially recognized the organization of the Com mon Council of the city of Philadelphia, and Chas. B. Trego, Esq., as the president thereof.' A communication was received from the Mayor, en closing one received by him from the president of the Board of Trustees of the Philadelphia Gas Works. It states that the assessor of the proper district had notified the officers of the Gas Works of the return he required to be made of all the gas charged in bills rendered by the Trust, including that used in street lamps. That return has not been made, and it is the intention of the assessor to proceed to a stun nutty process, enjoined by the act of Congress, if payment is longer delayed. The communication was referred to the Committee on Gas, Mr. Btiowrix then addressed the Chair: I desire to make a motion, and befor6 'doing so, 1 Ivill give my reasons therefor.' It is myintention at the close of my remarks, to move a reconsideration of the motion to recognize the Common Council as pre sided over Mr. Kerr, and then • request a post ponement of the original resolution. When the double organization' of - Common Council was re ported to this Chamber, one of three courses was open to me. I could : have voted to recognize, as the Mayor has done, the Republican organization, but to do so would have been doing, in my opinion, great injustice, because that organization recog nizes several gentlemen as members who are not entitled to a seat, and because it would have been unjust to the Democratic organization. I could have voted for a committee of investigation, but that would have been a party committee, and a party•report • Would have been the result. A third course was open. This was to recognize the Demo• erotic organization, knowing that the Mayor would not do so, and that thus matters should be left in abeyance. I chose" that ,' •as involving harm to neither party. Before moving a' reconsideration, I must enter my protest against the lawlessneas_that . has characterixea_4l._o4.hcr - enalzib6f. There all pears tb ben mere scramble fortheorganization,and I fear that there exists n very determined scheme, sanctioned by the chief magistrate of the city, in violation of his oath of office, to acknowledge such an organization of Common Council as shall throw the political power of the city government in the hands of onejiaity. I have reason to fear this be came the Mayor has already recognized one branch 01 Common Council. 1 could be no party to such a conspiracy ; but as I believe that neither organiza tion is wholly in the right, I deem it my duty to ask for this reconsideration, and at the same time, as gentlemen who voted with me are not here t,o-day, to ask postponement of the resolution itself until the next meeting, before which time, I trust, our •friends in the other chamber will have arranged the matterhonorabiy to both parties. The question was then taken on the motion to •re considerand postpone, and it was agreed to by the following vote : YEAS—Messrs. Armstrong, Baird, Barron, Brightly, Ginnodo, Greble, Harris, ICamerly, Ma nuel, Mardis, McElroy, Miller, Paullin, Spring, "Uhler, Weaver, Wetherill, Zane, and Lynd, presi dent-19. NAYS—Messrs. Catherwood, King, and Niehob! son-3. Mr. WEAVER presented a petition protesting against the right of E. Spencer Miller to hold a seat in Select.Counell. • Mr. KA:III.:ELY offered resolutions of condolence and respect for the memory of the late Major Hawks worth. Agreed to. Mr. IVETIMIIILI. submitted a resolution accepting the portrait of Mr. Ouyler, late president of Select Council, and directing the clerk to place it in the chamber, in accordance with the wishes of the re tiring members of Select Council. Agreed to. The Chamber soon after adjourned. COMMON BRANCH. The chamber of Common Council was at three o'clock jammed to suffocation. The galleries were filled by anxious politicians of all shades, and the floor, inside as well as outside the railing, exhibited the largest attendance ever witnessed at a regular meeting of Council. The two Presidents sat in the chairs they occupied on Monday, and apparently were forcing themselves to look as dignified and' solemn as the ludicrousness of their position - would permit. The double set of clerks filled their offices also, and each contended with the other to look as near the genuine official as possible. The Democrats had, in appearance at least, the conspicuous advan tage. Messrs. Lutts andsl3utler, the Democratic clerics, discharged their duties at the prescribed desk, and were defiant towards intruders. Mr. Gordon, the Republican clerk, held a standing position to the left of the Democratic clerk, and Mr. Trego, a sit ting position to the left of the Democratic President. At a few minutes past three, Mr. Trego said : " The members will please come to order, and the clerk will call the roll." At the same time, Mr. Kerr said : "The members will please come to order, and the cleric will call the roll." Off started Mr. Gordon with the roll-call. Mr. Lutts followed suit with equal spirit. Then'came a scene which would do credit to Bed- lam. The two clerks, who at the most quiet times lungs,. called out the names of the any other mari 2 r CiiMirdlrelllk-te,rittheinselves "nor eiders laughed and cheered, the gallery feTfentritu jeered. The spectacle was worthy the determined efforts of a Fourth ward convention to make itself ridiculous. It was hardly child's play, for children show at times some respect for each other. The call went on, however, and at the end each clerk reported the state of the attendance. Mr. TRICOO. There is a quorum of members pre sent. The clerk will read the journal of the last meeting. ~...----,.-quuruurur-mtmbe rs pre •—•-tient-ll'fie clerk will read the journal of the last meeting. Each of the clerks, obeying the order of the Presi dent whom he recognized, proceeded amid, ea noise and laughter to read "the journal of:, tab last meeting." Mr. LUTTS read a communicatie- -- Trom the trus tees of the Gas Works, infonelog Councils that the • agent of the Governmees-sitinands the payment of the national tax; if not paid, he will sue the city. Laid on the table. While the reading of the communication was in progress, Mr. lieuren said : Mr. President, I would like to know why you permit unauthorized parties to usurp this place. Each president announced that "petitions and communications were in order." • The Democratic Messenger took from the Demo cratic members the petitions they had to offer to the Democratic president, and the Republican messeo ger took from the Republican members the petitions. Intended for the Republican president. While Mr, Kerr was receiving " bills in place," Mr. Trego was still receiving "'petitions and com munications." . Mr. PAINTEn offered a resolution making a further appropriation of $lOO,OOO for the relief of the families of the volunteers. Agreed to unanimously, the Re publicans not voting. Mr. A. W. ADAXS offered a resolution that ajoint special committee be appointed to examine into the condition of the Haverford road, Twenty-fourth ward. While the above resolution was on its passage, Mr. WOLBEIrr arose, and in a stentorian voice, which drowned Mr. Gordon's utterances, said, "I desire at this time to offer a resolution." Mr. Talmo. The resolutiOn is before Council. (Referring to Mr. Adams'.) Mr. Hann. The resolution is before Council. (Re ferring to Mr. Wolbert's.) - Mr. Wolbert's resolution was to the effect that the City Councils have heard with regret of the death of Major Thomas Hawksworth, and that the remains be allowed to remain in state for twenty four hours in Independence Hall. Mr. Adams' resolution was agreed to, the Demo crate not voting. Mr. Wolbert's resolution was also agreed to, the • Republicans not voting. Mr. Quit' offered a resolution, instructing the Police Committee, when appointed, to inquire into the expediency of reducing the police force. Agreed to by the Democrats. - A number of other resolutions were' submitted, every one of which was agreed to, without debate and without a dissenting voice. At this conjuncture, Mr. Wm. C. Haines, Mayor's clerk, was introduced by the Republican messenger, and he handed to Mr. Trego a message. , In this message the 'Mayor says that he vetoed the ordinance making extra appropriations to the clerks of Council for extra work alleged to have, been done in 1862. • The reading of the message was, of course, in terrupted by the reading of resolutions, &c., by lir. Lutts. The message thus speaks of the difficulties in the Common Council. it will be obse'reed that the Mayor recognizes officially the Chamber as it was organized with Mr. Trego as president: "The Mayor deems it proper, for the purpose of record, to inform the president and members of the Common Council. that, upon Monday last, the sth Gay of January, shortly after 10 o'clock A. M., the hour fixed by law for the meeting of the newly elect ed members, and their qualification as such, he was waited upon by Messrs. Simpson, Moore, and Tay lor, who announced themselves as a committee from the Common Council to inform him that a majority thereof had duly organized such body, and had elect-_ ed Charles B. Trego, Esq., as the president thereof. "Subsequently, within the same hour, Messrs. Baird, Painter, and Ilulseman, members of Common Council, presented themselves before the Mayor, and stated that they were a committee to notify him of its organization, and of. the election of Wilson Kerr, Esq, as its pt cabling officer ;to which commu nication the Mayor replied to_. the purport that it gave him pleasure to see the several gentlemen as individual Ambers of the city legislature, but that he could nol receive them formally as a committee, as he bad previously been duly notified of the organi zation of the Common Council, and of the election of Charles B. Trego, Esq., as its president ; and fur ther, that the Me) or would recognize such organi zation and election until that Council should other wise order. "At a later hour of the same day, a committee of the Select Council, accompanied by gentlemen of Common Council, called upon the Mayor, and to the .announcement which they made received as a reply an assurance of the recognition by the Mayor of the oretnization of the last-named branch as here inbefore stated. " The Mayor is precluded from any official cogni zance of the qualifications of members of the Coun cils and therefore must be guided mainly by the notice which he has received, according to its due form and priority. But he has no reason, from any other information before hint, to believe that the course which he has thus adopted—and to which he will adhere until other action of Common Council or the decision of a competent tribunal—does in any wise depatt from propriety orjustice." After the reading of the message, Mr. HARPER offered .a resolution tendering the thanks of the City to Major General Butler for his patriotic, determined, and "- valuable services to the Union while commander of the Department of the Gulf. Agreed to by the Republicans. There was one "no" to the passage. The voice was recognized as that - f Mr. Wright. Mr. Banos:a -submitted resolutions expressive of the appreciation of Councils of the noble services of General Roseerans. [immense cheering in the gal lery and outside the railing.] Mr. ICerin called the members to order, and the resolution called out a speech from Mr, Quin... Mr. Qum said : The recent deeds of General Rose crane entitle him to the highest esteem of every lover of. the Union. Ile has shown that he is a match.for the enemies of his country. He and the men who fought with him have shown that they can be pa teen!, notwithstanding they were, a short time ago, branded as traitors, because they did not belong to certain political party. They have shown that it is not necessary, in order to be a patriot, to.be also a negro worshipper or a Black Republican. [Ap plause and hisses.] Every Democrat was branded as a traitor to his country, and is even to this-day; yet the Democratic party is the only party that can save the country, and unless the Democratic party get again into power the country will go to utter de struction. [Laughter and applause.] There is no man, continued the speaker, excitedly, who is latiglking at me that I cannot whip, anyhow. [Renewed laughter and applause.] Mr. If itarrai, in the midst of Plc. Quin's oration, moved to adjourn. Agreed to -by the Republicans. Mr. Qum still continued to'dilate upon the great ness of the• Democrat is party, until his voice became inaudible on account of the noise and bustle In ; the chef-Aber. • Shortly Afterwards the Democratic Common Cciun cil was !idiom ned, and thus ended the second act in the farce. IaVMTIII , I4I OF THE OLD SOLDIF..IIB 0F1.812--- THEY COMMEMORATE THE MEMORY OF GENERAL JACKSON.-Yesterday morning the soldiers of the 'War of 1812 held a meeting in the Supreme Court Boom, to commemorate the anniversary of the cap ture of 'Nev Orleans.

J: Poss.Snowden, by request, read a portion of the farctvell address of President Jackson, written in 1837. ' Capt. George Enierick, of the Executive ComMit tee, then read the following resolutions : • We, a surviving remnant of the once numerous defenders of our country in the war of 1812-15, mot in annual Convention within the sacred walls of In dependence Hall, beneath that colonial bell which. fulfilled its inspired prophetic inscription—" PRO OLAIM LIHERTY THROUGHOUT THE LAND TO ALL . "TRH .A H (TANTS TR EREOF," , believing it our right and our patriotic duty again to utter our feelings in regard to our country's peril and the administration of its affairs, have, therefore, . Resolved, That we hold our accustomed meeting on the anniversary of the glorious victory won by the immortal Jackson, Which closed the war of 1812 in a blaze of glory, and, until now, put an end to the aggressions of Great Britain upon our flag and commerce. With a view to revive the recollections of the achievements of our soldiers and sailors ; to inspire our younger fellow-citizens with a portion of the patriotic spirit that animated the people of the :United States, South as well as North ; and to keep up, in our declining years, those pleasant associa tions which have so long united the soldiers of the war of 1912, as a band of brothers— Resolved, That we here renew our sacred pledge to support the Constitution of the United States, and to aid, to the extent of our ability, in Maintaining the Union in all its integrity and power. Resolved, That our soldieri, regulars, volunteers anti militia, deserve all praise for their gallantry in action, as well as for their patient endurance under all the privations to which they have necessarily been exposed; and that if they have not always been entirely successful the fault has not .been theirs. licsoiveri, That we have heard with unfeigned sor row that, since our last meeting, the Hon. James Porter, one of the vice preiidents of this Associa tion, has departed this life.. Many of us have long been united with him in bonds of personal friend ship ; his career has been useful and distinguished:; and he has left the world with a character above reproach. • Rewired, That we approve, with heart and mind, and all our powers, the most-active and energetic prosecution of this defensive war against treason and rebellion; and we urge all who are in authority to use every means in their power to put down - the rebels in the speediest and most thorough manner. Resolved, That we warmly and deeply sympathize with our brave soldiers and sailors engaged in de.;• fence of our national Union; we rejoice in their: Victories, deplore their disasters, sorrow over _their_ ..hardeldirsi": and ._Drirstions,--sompsosionate their wounded and suffering, and mourn with patriotic pride their glorious dead. With them, we hail the unceasing bounties and tireless attentions of our patriotic countrywomen for their relief and comfort : for them, we beseech the vigilant care and prompt provision of our legislators and executives, and the substantial gratitude of our whole people ; and to them, we confidently promise the brightest halo of glory with which posterity can emblazon immortal deeds of valor.

The resolutions were unanimously adopted. The following, toasts were also read 1. "The Bth 'of January, 1816 "—A day illus trious in the annals of the nation. We joyfully greet its return. 2.

MEETING OF TIIE INDIGENT WIDOiNTS / +Aim SINGLE WOMEN'S SOCIETY.—The anniversary meeting of this Society was held at the asylum, Cherry street, east of Eighteenth, yesterday at noon. The exercises were introduced by the reading of the Scriptures. An appropriate prayer was then offered by the Rev. Dr. Edwards, of the Weld, Arch Presby . terian: church. The reading of the 46th annual re port, and address, came next in order, and were given by Rev., Mr. Crowell, of the Penn Square Presbyterian church. The report states that no changes have taker/ place in the Board of Directors. Eleven of the inmates have died and two left the institution, the thirteen vacancies thus left being rapidly supplied. The dividends of the institution have been received with but-small diminution. - . The. present number of inmates is seventy-six. The matron has been connected with the institution for thirteen - years. In his address, Rev. Mr. Crowell remarked in relation to the unobtrusive features of this noble charity, and of-the tender sympathies to which' it 'appeals. He referred to the resemblance furnished in the benevolent ministration of this in stitutionlo the great work of Christ himself among the widowed and the poor. He spoke of the striking contrast between the great world without, tossed by tumult, saddened by-the carnage of Avnir, and the quiet, peaceful retreat affbrded within these wails to those who were passing away from life and reach ing the end of their journey He closed his remarks by pointing the inmates of this asylum to Him who alone would be their help their friend, and refuge, when all the scenes of earth should be ended. The report of the Purchasing Committee state the amount of the purchases to be'in the neighborhood of seven thousand dollars. Everything which marked the exercises was entertaining in the ex treme. The fervor evinced by all participating was most gratifying to contemplate and the amount of good rendered by this institution cannot easily be calculated. TIM. REMAINS OF MAJOR THOS. HA` ES wowria.—The remains of the deceased hero, Major Thomas Hawksworth, of the Scott Legion, 6Sth P. V., arrived last evening at the Baltimore depot, Broad and Prime streets, at six o'clock. They were conveyed privately to Independence. Hall by Mr. E. W. C. Greene, the business partner of the lamented deceased, in company with a few warm friends. The body will lay in state during to-day at Independence Hall, the doors of which will be opened to the public at ten o'clock this morning. 'Capt. Finnie, provost marshal, detailed as a guard of honor a number of his men, under command of Capt. Tack. The remains of the Major are enclosed in a coffin covered with black cloth, eilver-mounted, and finish ed inside with white satin. As we stood by the side of the coffin, last evening, silently gazing upon the inanimate features of the body it contained still noble, manly, and natural in death, there came welling up from the memory of the past of many 3 ears the exalted virtues of a friend ; one who had a kind word for everybody; whose heart was as open as day to melting charity; whose hand was ever liberal to the wants of his fellow-man ; whose kindness was proverbial; whose cheerfulness im parted happiness to all around. Such a man was he whose remains wilt lay in state in Independence Nall to-day- to be viewed by thousands of.the people of Philadelphia. The body has been embalmed, and it will occupy the same spot appropriated to the re mains of the late Col. Baker. . . PITTSBURG TS. PRILADELI'MA AND Tfl Prrx - NSTINA:m.A. RAILIODAD.—The Pittsburg com mittee, together with the committees from the Board of Trade, and the Corn Exchange Asso-• elation, have held an interview with the executive officers of the railroad company. The Pittsburg committee, through Mr. McCreary, the chairman, made a statement of the discrimination which the merchants of Pittsburg complained of as calculated to interfere , with. the busLness of.that city. It was suggested on behall of the company that the laws of trade would control the business of the road the same as that of a private individual, and that therefore the freight which proved the most remunerative would be taken by the company. Mr. McCreary, In reply, urged that the business of the, company should ,not be guided by the same policy is that aatuating private individuals. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company was chartered to benefit the citizens of Pennsylvania, and special privileges had been granted in view of this, and therefore there should be no discrimination. It was finally decided that the Pittsburg commit tee should reduce their suggestions to writing, to be laid before the Philadelphia committees, to be by them discuised and suggestior.a added. , • The propositions thus framed will be submitted to the Board of Directors of the Pennsylvania, Rail road Company on Wednesday next. The principal Change desired by the Pittsburg committee is the .discharge by the company of all special agents, and the adoption of a uniform rate of charges for mer-. chants of Pennsylvania.

It is useletis for. us to say anything in praise of these sleeping ears; they have only to be seen to be admired. They speak for themselves.

We want the returns of the election of Common Council of the Twenty fourth.warti, held on the second Tuesday in October By Mr. Webb. I can't bring them. .Q. Are you physically unable? A. No; sir; but nobody beside the Prothonotary himself can permit them to go out of the office ; he is not present. By Mr. Mann. We must have them, and have them now. A. I have nothing at all to do with the returns ; there is a clerk who has charge of them. • - • Here 11 , 1 r. :Mann asked for a subpcena directing, that clerk to appear here with the election papers forth with.

DF:CHERT Takes the stand. This witness testified that as Mr. Leech was about to get into the Darby car, havingjuat alighted front a Market-street car, some one hallooed after him, telling him to stop, and he should have the certificate of his election. lie 'replied, he would not . loSe his ride for any such non sense as that. • The witness detailed, in a very clear and compre hensive manner, the subject of a subsequent inter view had with Mr. Leech, in 'the presence of. Mr. Townsend, near the State House, in which he (Mr. 'Leech) admitted the certificate issued for'him was a fraud, for the had ciphered out the returns, and knew he had been defeated. MORE TESTIMONY. Henry M. Smith, the return judge of the Ninth precinct, testified that it is not customary in the Twenty-fourth ward for the return judges to meet in the morning; they always meet in the afternoon; heard Mr. Lowry say the judges ought not to sign any returns for anybody, because so much fraud was talked about; when the motion was made to make out the certificates of Messrs. Leech and Lowry, some of.the judges left the room; Gus. Simpsogwent in afterwards and made out the return for Mr. Lowry. TDOMAS R. REESE, • one of the clerks, Ackw appears - with the bound file of election returns, and also the general certificate.of votes for Common Councilmen, signed by all the judges. The examination here was of a tedious cha racter, and may be summed up briefly as follows: The signatures of the judges to the Leech certificate were- proved by the returns made to the prothono taryis office. It was also discovered that Mr. _Hays, the return judge of the Second precinct, 'in making out his re turn, neglected to sign his name to it, an omission about which he said, " Well, really, I don't know how to account for it." It was also discovered, for the first time, that Mr. McCurdy gains ten votes more than all the judges signed that he had re ceived—his majority being thirty-two votes instead of twenty-two. THE ADJOURYME'ICT OP THE CASE Mr. Mann said that he-desired to examine one more witness, Mr. J. Alex. Simpson, and then the Commonwealth will close for the present. As Mr. Simpson cannot be present to-day, he (the District Attorney) . suggested to postpone the case until three o'clock this afternoon. . _ Mr. Cassidy gracefully acceded to thlsoind thd office was speedily cleared of its superabundance of compressed -humanity. There is no man in the world who can so well unravel the mysteries of an election fraud as the (present District ; Attorney, Wm. B. Mann. Al'eget Pickpocket. WiMain Fisher, the - fictitious name announced by an alleged pickpocket, was arraigned, yesterday afternoon, before Alderman Beltler, at the Central - Station, on the charge of picking the pocket of an unknown lady in one of the passenger railroad cars. His arrest was announced in The Press yesterday. The following evidence was elicited George Harmstead testified that he is conductor of car No. 22, Fifth and Sixth-street Passenger Railway ; bad twenty-one passengers in his car on Wednesday afternoon ;. prisoner , was one of these ; heard some one say he was a pickpocket ; saw him go out the front door of the car and run away ; he dropped the pocket-book on the car ; it was re- - covered by the owner • she was in company with two other ladies_, all ' dressed In black ;,they had just come in on the New 'York line. . . John R: Blyler sworn.---Am'conductoir of car No. 21 ; was coming from Kensington 'depot in rear of , car No. 21 ; heard the pry of stop thief ; saw prisoner running ; I chased him lOr a long distance ; thought he was sober ; no drunken man could run like he did 5 I consider myself a fast runner ; ran twenty Minutes before he was ()aught ; on coining back he , nudged me, and wanted to know how much money I'd take to let him off: Here the prisoner interrupted the witness by call ing• hini a " "Silence," cried Chief Frank lin. • Prisoner. "Well, he shall not tell a lie about it." Witness : proceeded, and said, on coming up the street prisoner said what good would it do me to arrest him ; he wanted to•know if $6O would serve me.' Here the, prisoner , was about to say something , whereupon the witness said : "Look here, young man, if you reiterate that, I'll smash your mouth; I am under oath,:and will simply tell the truth." The prisoner was admonished by the alderman, and helrept quiet after this. k Mr. Smith testified as to the arrest of the prisoner. In conclusion, thd alderman asked the prisoner if he had any questions to ask. •" About what, sir 'I" said he, as though perfectly ignorant. • "Have you any questions to ask the witness?" reiterated thealderman. • ' ' ' _ . The prisoner maintaining silence, the inagiatrate ordered him to enter bail in the sum of $1,500 to an 'ewer; to which the prisoner, in a very impertinent style, said, "Anything else, sir 1". ; The .next moment he was on his way to the cell below etairs, in company with an officer who.-had a strong attachment for him. • [Before Mr, Alderman Ilarmer.J• • : A. Fight with n. Pompey. ' - . A...marrwho gave the name. of William Turner was ' arraigned' before the alderman' . yesterday,; on the charge of a breach of the peace. It seems that at the hour of half pAst five o'clock, an officer of the First division heard an' unusual noise_ on Second street, above :Washington avenue. There appeared to be considerable wrangling.: and,' profanity. On nearing John street, In the Second ward, he dis covered a man pretty well intoxicated, and struggling with a tobacconist's Pompey. The inebriated indi ,vidualinistook theiece carved.wood.and : Iron for a Colored fellow. It seems as he was going quietly along, he 'said where am It" There was no response; the question was repeated, still there. Was not a • word issuing from the lips of The Pompey.: "If yoif dontt tell me where•l am I'll hit you.' Still the object of the wayfarer's obfusticated' vi sion was silent. •.: r •-• ;. a ..• Q.; 2 . 1 4 1 • . •• . . - • t s ; • THE PRESS.-PHILADELPHIA:.

At this moment he made it desperate lurch and brought up against the motionless object. "low, I will hit you for running against me," shouted the individual, and at it hb went. Re struck the Pompey a pretty heavy blow—the next moment the inebriated individual fell sprauding'on the side walk. On getting up ; lie renewed the attack with vigor, but the Pompey was immoiable, and of course resisted all attacks. • The police officer took the, assailantto the statibn house, where he .had en lota's' sleep.. When he awoke and found himself arrayed before an alder man, he seemed to scarcely realize his condition. He remembered nothing about the Pompey, excepting that something appeared to .him like a dream. • The prisoner admitted thitt he had been' at a wedding on Wednesday_ night, • and had drank too much for his own peculiar benefit. 17,a'7,870 The Supreme Court Of Pennsylvania—Chief Justice I.oirrie and Justices Woodward, Thompson. and Strong. . . The case of the Common Wealth vs. The Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, and the Pennsylvania Coal Company. DECISION OF THE COURT. The Commonwealth vs. The Delaware and Hud son Canal Company, and the Pennsylvania Coal Company. This was an information filed by the Attorney General in the Middle District, but trans ferred to this district by agreement, praying that a certain agreement entered into between the compa nies defendant be declared to be in excess of the le gitimate power of these corporations, and that they may be enjoined from acting under it, and also that they may be required to appear and consent to or refuse its cancellation. The objections to the agree ment were raised by the answers of the defendants, and are— • El. That the agreement grants to the Coal Com-. pany a monopoly of the one-half of the capacity of the canal, to the exclusion of the public, because it contracts to furnish to the Coal Company the facilities of navigation which-the canal willtaffbrd, not exceeding one-half of its whole 'capaeity, •ex elusive of the tonnage employed in the 'tiansporta tion of articles other than coal. ,On this Pohit the opinion says that there is no complaint that anybody -has been wronged by this, or that' either company has actually exercised any function thatis exeltisive of the public rights. When . the defendants do, in fact, transgress the limits of their' legitimate func tions, and interfere with the public rights, then will be the time to bring a charge against them. 2. That the agreement, ii.stead of fixed tolls to be collected at the locks, according to the charter of the Canal Company, provides for a rate of toll, to be as certained by the market price of ooal in every year, • and thua the rate of toll remains uncertain until this price is ascertained, and it cannot, therefore, be de manded at the locks; and may, in certain states of the coal market, exceed.thc toll allowed by the char ter. On this point the opinion Bays: ." We do not see that this objectioninvolves any public grievance. . The Canal Company has , a right to commnte fits falls, and we cannot see that the public has anyln terest in objecting that it may get too much under' the contract of commutation in a certain contin'gency, cif that it has contracted any part of its meting of ob.' taining the little that it agrees to accept under the contract.". t 3. On behalf of the Public, the objection is repeated, "that, on 'account of the uncertainty of the toll, the Ca,nal Company cannot always know holy mush to demand of others, and, therefore, cannot dosqual justice according to its public duty as a canal Nom= pany." • . • ' On this point the court says that there is - " no averment or pretence that the public or any private person has suffered any wrong by reason of. this, or that the .Canal Company has been compelled; in obeying this part of the contract, to exercise any functions that do note properly belong to it as a' canal company." • 4. Thatbecause the tolls are fixed at half the pro-: ceeds of the coal, after deducting the estimated cost of its production, therefore the Canal Company is a speculative dealer in coal, which is a departure from the purposes of its charter. As to this, the court says that "measuring toll by the profits on the article when sold is not be coming a dealer in coal, else Government would be a dealer in articles that are suhject to an ad valorem tariff. It is very common' for the State to measure taxes according to , supposed profits, and we find no public wrong in the canal company doing so, in its contract of commutation of tolls." 5. That such a contract,,to be valid, ought to have the sanction of the Legislature, because it affects the interests and income of the State.. On this point the court says: "But it is not in any way shown to us that it does so. Nothing like this is averred in the information, and of course we can not assume it: If either of these corporations do anything under the contract contrary to the inter ests and income of the State and contrary to its charter,,and this be shown to us in any. regular manner, we shall probably interfere and correct it." &c. 6. That since under the contract the tolls are measured by the profits, the coal company has 'the power by sacrificing the regular profits or a portion of them in order to control the coal market, and may at its pleasure so depress the prices as to ruin many of those engaged in the trade, and greatly disturb the public interests without ay ri, serious in jury to itself, and that it did so last spring. On.- this point the court says:. "If this had beeni averred in the information, and proved as one of the grounds of the complaint against the agree ment, we should have regarded it as the most seri ous one of all.those that have been urged; but it is neither alleged 'nor proved by the Commonwealth. And we incline to think that is properlrso, for it seems to us that this objection is founded rather on the abuse of the agreement than on the nature of it, and that the remedy ought to be compensation under the equity if not the letter of the agreement, rather than cancellation of it." The information is dismissed. . The decision of the court was -rendered on Mon day last, by Chief Justice Lowrie. We noticed the fact of the decision at the time; but as inquiry has been made as to the points of the decision, we give the ' foregoing abstract, the full opinion being most too lengthy for our columns. EJECTMENT—DEED TO EAR ENTAITe—OMIESION TO RECORD IT. . The. Theological Seminary of St,' Charles Bono meo vs. Nicholas Wall. Certificate from Nisi Prins. This was.an action of ejectment brought by the Se minary Compan against Nicholas Wall to recover ..• • • narv. 'rhe verdict was for the Plaintiff. • The history of -the case, as get out in the paper book, is as follows.: • In 1849,- Wm. Morris devised the premises in ques-' tion to hlifnephews, Nicholas Wall arid Henry A. Farrell, entail with cross remainders. In 1854, Wall & Farrell joined in a deed to Steiner, conveying the premises in fee, with intent to bar The entail Under the act of Assembly. • This deed was never recorded. • Its admission as evidence that the entail had been barred, notwithstanding the omission toaecord it, is one of the points, and involves the only question in the cause. Steiner reconveyed to Wall and Farrell in fee, and Farrell by his will devised his interest in this property to the seminary, charged with the payment of his debts and funeral expenses. Farrell died, and the seminary company, a charita. .ble institution for educational purposes, brought this ejectment. .It was contended that the act of Assembly au thorizing entails to be barred required the deed to be recorded, and,-unless the conditions stipulated were complied with, the object could not be attained. It was answered, this devisee is a charity, and, therefore, - can take entailed property by deVise, withont the entail having been barred, and so the judge decided. , . Error is assigned to the-admission of the deed, barring the entail, and to the instructionio thejury to find for the plaintiffir. Argued yesterdali s Ct. C. Iflc.Murtrie and George ill. Wharton, s., for plaintiffin error, and George W. Biddle and K. Price, Esqs. for defendant in error. - Without elle argument having been concluded, the court adjourned until this morning.

AYER'S SARSAPARILLA IS A..06N . centrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla , so combined with other substances of still greater alterative power as to afford an effective antidote for diseases Sarsaparilla is reputed to cure. Such a remedy is surely wanted by those who suffer from Strumous . complaints, and that one which will accomplish their cure must prove of im mense service to this large cuss of our afflicted fellow citizens. How completely this compound will do it has been proven by experiment on many of the worst cases to be found in the following comjolaints : SCROFULA AND SCROFULOUS UOMPLAINTS, ERUPTIONS AND ,ErRUPTIVB DISEASES, BICERS,PIMPLES, BLOTCHES, Tomas, SALT RHEUM, SCALD . HEAD SYPHILIS AND SY PHILITIC - AFFECTIONS, MERCURIAL DISEASE, DROPSY, NEURALGIA. OR TIC' DOLOREUM, DEBILITY, DYSPEPSIA AND INDIGESTION, ERYSIPELAS, HOSE . OR . Sr. * ANTHONY'S PJBE, and indeed the whole class of. complaints arising from IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD. - . , . .This compound will •be found a great promoter of health when taken in the spring. to expel the foul hu mors which fester in the blood at that season of the year. By the timely expulsion of them .many. rankling disor ders are nipped in the bud.: Multitudes can, by the aid. of this remedy, spare themselves from the endurance of foul. eruptions and ulcerous. sores, through which the system will strive to rid itself .of corruptions- if not as- - sisted. to do this through the natural channels of the body by an_alLe_ratir.c-mcai.ta.—..2.l...asa_cat_ti.s.vitta.,._ ted blood whenever you flud its impurities bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores; cleanse it when you find. it is obstructed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell you when. Even whereno particular disorder is felt,people enjoy better health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep the blood healthy, and all is well ; but with the pabulum of life disordered, there can be.no lasting health. Sooner or later something must go wrong, and the great machinery of life is disordered or overthrown. During late years the public have been misled by large bottles, pretending to give a quart of • Extract of Sarsa- parilla for one dollar. Most of these have been frauds upon the sick, for they not only contain little, if any, Sarsaparilla, but often no curative properties whatever. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment has followed the. use of the various extracts .of Sarsaparilla which flood the market, until the name itself isjustly despised, and has become synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend to - supply such a remedy is shall rescue the name from the load of obloquy which rests upon it. and we think we have ground for believing it has virtues which are irre sistible by the ordinary ran of the disbases it is intended.- to cure.

READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY. About twelve months ago I had a severe attack of Diabetes, attended with other difficulties too numerous to mention. My desire for drink was constant, and al though I drank gallons per day, my thirst was never allayed; I was only able to sleep at -short intervals, which seemed like a trance. The mucous surface of my mouth and throat had become so parched and feveriah, that I was in constant misery. I was also suffering from all the horrors of Dyspepsia, loss of appetite, Nau sea, and frequent and seven attacks of vomiting; and so prostrated was my general system, that .1 was scarcely able to move about. I had availed myself of the science and skill of distinguished medical men, both of the Allo pathic and Homteopathio school, and exhausted their catalogue of remedies, but found only temporary relief. In this condition, when every ray of hope seemed para lyzed, I heard of the discovery of Professor Bones in the use of Electricity, and the wonders he was performing in curing disease, and • placed 'myself under his treatment; and, to the astonishment of, myself and friends, in two operations my Diabeted was controlled, and other diffi culties soon disappeared ; my appetite has returned, sleep undisturbed, and, in fact, I feel like one made anew.' I would farther state that I have seen other remark able cures performed by Prof." Bolles, and would advise the diseased to call at IM Walnut street, and be restored to health. I shall' be glad to give any one information calling on me. • • THOMAS HARROP Rose Mill, West Philadelphia. - Philadelphia, May,lst,lii6o.,• • Read the following from a preacher of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Ito. 1633 Helmuth street, Philadel phia : • •• • • In attempting a definition of my disease, I can only give some of the many symptoms which, taken altoge ther, were the most horrid ; and even medical men did not know my disease from pathological symptoms. How ever, Professor C.R. Bollea, by whom I was cured, lo cated my disease in the pelvic viscera, in five minutes after I entered his office, and offered to warrant a perfect cure in eight applications. And I frankly admit that in eight applications of Electricity. administered by Pro fessor Boma% MO Walnut street. Philadelphia, I am' perfectly cured; and to me this is most astonishing, for I bad exhausted the catalogue of old-school remedies, and grew worse all the time. I had long believed that in Electricity resided a potent agent for the cure of disease, if a right application could be made; and now I can comprehend, from its powerful effects on me, for a speedy cure, although no shocks were given. All was pleasant, and accomplished as if by magic. I will give most of my symptoms, for the benefit of fro fferingliumanity. I had dyspepsia, bad marasmns, or wasting of. the tissues. of the swhole: body ; at times a difficulty of breathing , some palpitation of the heart, much bronchitis, trembling of the limbs after exercise, aversion to hustings and company:; at times gloomy. Ma- Nifty to collect my thoughts.vigorously on any subject, a loss of memory, pain in various parts of the body; suf fered much from lumbago, deranged secretion& of the kidneys and other glands of the system, constant drag- Ong pains in the lumbar region, find severe nervous diz &mese. I believe it is my duty; as a lover of humanity, to re-' cummend this - discovery. of Professor BOLLES to Ithe afflicted of all classes. There seems to be no guesswork, no confusion, no matter of doubt in his treatment.. He proceeds on fixed principles,and according to fixed laws; which seem to me infallible and harmonious. He war: rants, by special contract, the moat obstinate, chronic and acute cases, and charges nothing , if he,fails. I ad vise all of the diseased to try his treatment. EDWARD T. WARS; - Preacher in B. R Church, • NM 'HELMUTH Street, Philadelphia .l.7,24l..ysTs OP THE LOWER LIMBS karaple g ia) AND APOPLE Y COMBINE . D. • Read the following: ' Plor,Anktrnia, March 51, 1862. Paoritsson Bomme.,l= Walnut street : The remarka ble cure which I have derived from your method of ap plying Electricity compels me to thus acknowledge the great obligations I am under to yen for snatching me, as it were, from immediate death. About two years ago, while a resident of. Cincinnati, Ohio, I was visited with' an attack of paralysis of the lower extremities:which rendered me almost entirely unable to stand upon my limbs. I employed some of the most celebrated physi cians to be found in that section, but received no appa rent benefit, and after a lapse uf about eightpen months was taken with a spasm, :which one of my physicians Pronounced a fit of apoplexy. Two weeks elapsed from that time before! became the least COll=loll/3 of anything that had transpired, nor could I concentrate my mind or converse upon any subject. without becoming very *denary and excited, until I placed myself under your valuable treatment. After my arrival in Philadelphia my attention was called to your treatment by a pamphlet handed me by my father, which contained the names of some gentlemen whom I had • been formerly acquainted with, and whose statements I could rely upon. I imme diately made up my mind to place 'myself under your treatment. I have now been. the recipient of four treat ments, and I now feel perfectly satisfied that I am re stored to a sound condition, and thefore feel it my duty to gratefully acknowledge the benefits which I have re ceived through your treatment. Very respectfully yours, &c. . • I WILLIAM R. SHUN, Publisher of the National ..Mercharat, office 326 South SECOND Street, Philadelphia. N. B.—lt will be well for the diseased to recollect that Prof. B. has given a word of caution in his pamphlet to guard them against trusting, their health in the hands of those in this city claiming tc-treat diseases according to his discovery. -This caution may seem severe on those using Electricity at li..Nzard, but it is the severity of truth, and designed for the good of humanity.
