ten o'clock, in the Race-street German Reformed
Church, (Race, below Fourth), Rev. Dr. Bomberger,
pastor. After singing, the opening prayer was made
by Rev. Dr. B. C. Wolff of Mercersburg. In low
and earnest tones he thanked the good Providence
which had permitted the assembly thus to meet to
gether; he asked that in all that was said and done a
due appfeciation of the result might be evinced. To
hare a good conscience, Void of offence' toward man
end God ; to' plant throughout all the vineyards of
the Lord the blessed seed of their goodly 'heritage; to
ever have a wish and will to pray to God for just
reasoning and for right conclusions, and to ever give .
praise to Him, to whom alone it was due—this should
be the spirit moving the meeting. Rev. Mr. P. C.
Prugh, of Xenia, Ohio, was then chosen secretary
of the organization.
It was moved and seconded that a committee con-
Rioting of Rev. J. 0. Bucher, Rev. E. Kieffer, Rev.

Upon taking his scat, the presidentremarked that
his election to hie new position was altogether
against his consent. He thanked those who had
thus chpaen him for Die honor they had conferred.
He hinuielf felt deeply the importance of .the occa
sion whioh had called them together. No symbol in
the Protestant Church possessed so much intrinsic
interest as that attached to the Heidelberg Cate
chit= inaugurated on the 19th January, 1563. In
his own church,. and in the sister churches of the
Netherlands, its principles had been inserted. The
life of the present should always renew its connec
tion with that of the past. All varieties of life must
feed upon memory.:--can only live in connection with
past history.' rThe object of the present celebration
waskt.trestpre.enli quicken the sense of their histo
iicateennegtjon'with the past of their Church. A
conacktus connection with the past must ever be en
tertain by him who would advance steadily in the
path of improvement. The relations of the churches
should be understood on all sidea. The old ecclesi
astic relations have come to be almost entirely un
known or misunderstood. If they are to break away
from the influences of the sixteenth century, if they
were to lose all sense of its efficacy, they might as
well break away from Proteitantism altogether.
The Church stood on a ground intermediate be
tween the different sections of the Protestant move.
ment. The German Reformed Church differs front
Reformed Church of Holland, France, Switzerland,
and Scotland. To retain its denominational history,
should be the object of the Church. The one title,
Reformed, should be so resuscitated as to be invested
generally with something of its original meaning.
To so reinstate it in its true place, as to be under
stood by the New England Congregational Churches,
and by its Presbyterian brethren, Old and New
School, would be and should be a feature of the
church's present action. The Church should have
no desire to set itself in any unfriendly antagonism
toward any other Church. if anything were certain,
it was that Evangelical Protestantism, as a whole,
cannot securely perpetuate its existence, except by
adhering to the great principles of the sixteenth
century. To hold to our denominational life and
chh meter was not only proper; it was also necessary.
This will bring out the true idea of the German Re
formed Church in distinction from that other grand,
Protestant confession, the Lutheran Church. As a
distinct part of the Reformed Church in general, the
German Reformed has its peculiar and important
mission. The Lutheran confession has a grand mis
sion of its own. These two might work together
without sacrificing anything of vital interest in
either. In conclusion, the speaker hoped that God
would so lend his spirit to the meeting, as that its
actions should redound to hie glory, and the truest
interest of the Church.
The essay composed by Rev. Dr. Hundeshagen, of
Heidelberg, was then read. The reading occupied
three , quarters of an hour. It had been translated,
and was read by Prof. Thomas C. Porter,
who was
introduced to the assembly by Rev. Dr. Schaff, of
the Theological Seminaries of Mercersburg and An
dover. It was then moved by Dr. Bomberger that
all the clergy from evangelical churches be invited to
take seats and report their names. Agreed to. The
second essay was then read by Rev. Dr. B. S.
Schneck; of Ohambersburg. The subject was "Fre
derick the Pious." Both of these essays were eru
dite and perspicuous in the extreme. They dealt in
history, and delineated the rise and progress of the
Heidelberg Catechism, in its influence and results,
with great for t e and accuracy. They were listened to
with very great interest by a congregation at once
intelligent and numerous.
EVENING SESSION.
The evening session was more fully attended than
the morning. The exercises commenced with sing
ing and prayer. The Rev. Dr. Ebrard, of Enlargen,
Germany, delivered an essay upon the " Melanetho
nian tendency, and its relation to the German Re
formed Church." The logic of the discourse was
clear, and its treatment very able. It was listened to
with the utmost attention, and discussed with more
than, ordinary interest. The assembly then ad
joured, to meet again this morning at half past nine
o'clock, at the same place.
A COMAIBmIABLE ASSOCIATION. —The
constant appeals for aid and sympathy on behalf of
the suffering freedmen in various parts of the country
induced a number of Friends of this city to form an
association to furnish clothing, medicines, &c., to
meet the temporary necessities of this destitute class
of people.
The society was organized April 15, 1862, since
which time, with the exception of a few weeks
during the summer, the meetings have been held
weekly, on the third floor of the Friends' Meeting
House, Face street above Fifteenth.
Donations in money, goods, and part-worn cloth
ing have been received from persons residing in this
'city and its vicinity, from Chester, Bucks, and
Westmoreland counties, of this State and from the
States of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Mary

The Association has endeavored to make a judi
cious appropriation of the means entrusted to it for
distribution, and from the acknowledgements re
ceived from the various places to which the articles
have been sent, the members are encouraged to. be

A NEW KIND OF MONITOIL—A gentle
man, of Montgomery county, has just completed a
model of .a new vessel-of-war, and has addressed. a
number of merchants of this city, with a view to
secure their endorsement of the usefulness which he
claims for his boat. It is constructed differently
from the Monitor or Merrimac, and is designed to
ride and crush, or sink any iron-clad whose sides are
of an elevation less than fifty degrees. The boat is
partially of a fiat bottom, and the bow is heavier
than the stern. The smoke stack can be raised or
lowered at option. The port holes are provided
with a sliding door, which can be lowered •in an in
stant.
PormacAL.—The Democrats of the .city
held elections last night, in the various precincts, for
delegates to conventions that will, to-day, in their

The primary conventions will assemble in their re
spective districts this morning. The Democratic
candidates for Governor are : John Cessna, Wm. H.

object of very general interest.
A SAGACIOVB DOG.—A. very knowing
canine is attached to the 'Good Intent Hose Com
pany. He invariably distinguishes an alarm of tire
from the striking of the hours. he is invariably the
first to reach the doors of the Good Intent Hose

LATE FROM' TIIE SICK AND WOITNDED Ilt
.Tximsaann.--Itey. Mr. Cummings, of the Christian
Commission, writes thus from Murfreesboro; dated
January 11, to Mr. Stuart, President of the Commis-
Ilion in this city :
Dluninensisono, Jan 11.--In view of the fact that
a • very large portion of the wounded, and, for the
most part, the most severe cases, were iaeoessarily
detained here, it waejleemed best to visit this place.
'Bev. Mr. BleAulley, with his forte and part of; my
own, is laboring in the hospitals at Nashville. I
have regretted very mtieh'that the storeg'had not
arrived when we left, having shipp,ed'them from
Louisville sonic hOurs before leaving there. You
are aware,,perhaps, that twenty miles of tiler:ill
road between Louisville and" Nashville have been
destroyed by the rebel7Wforgan and his banditti,
Eight miles of tfie dist/ince our party were compelled
- to walk.
The UnionxbUnded in the late battle are to be
found in Nashville, anti in the hospitals on the turn
pike from Nashville and the balance in this town.
In addition to these, there are about 1,500 rebel
wounded here. The condition of things is sad, in
deed, and at least a fortnight must elapse before the
disorder and confusion that now prevails gives place
to system and regularity. The wounded are crowded
together in public and private houses, most of whom
are severely wounded, whilst considerably the
largest portion, having been but slightly' wounded,
have been taken to Nashville. ' ' • ' •
The United States Sanitary Commission have
representatives here, but have no stores, although a
supply is daily expected. This, in connection with
the fact that every store In the town is closed, and
the inhabitants having fled to " parts unknown,"
renders it impossible to make the condition of these
martyrs on the altar of their country as comfortable
as could be desired. This state of things however,
can last but a very short time. Gen. Itoseorans,
whose headquarters are here, kept me in conversa
tion with him today about a half hour. He has en
dorsed an order on my Commission "to the officers
an d surgeons of the Department of the Cumberland,"
to render me every facility in, the prosecution of the
work of the Commission.
The stores we have with us were purchased in
Nashville, and we have been very busy today in
ministering to the physical and spiritual condition of
these suffering men. Very many cases of most touch
ing interest have come under our notice. In view of
these masses of tattered limbs and mangled bodies,
caused by this desolating war, we are ready to ex
claim, Oh ! Lord, how longl When shall victims
cease to be slaughtered to the dreadful demonl In
deserved wrath remember mercy.
One of our number will go to Nashville tomorrow
to procure an additional supply of stores. Itis hoped
those sent forward from Louisville have already ar
rived there.
There are numerous hospitals about Stone river,
two of which contain over 1,000 patients. They
will be visited before leaving here. •
General Negley gave me a most cordial invitation
to visit his headquarters, and promised to render
every assistance in his power.
• Ins division took a very important part in turning
the tide of battle in our favor in the late contest.
lie is a military man all over, and a son of the Key
stone State besides. •
I have much more to say, but must now conclude:
Should any inquiries be made of you respecting the
body of Private Orlando 'Weikel, you may state that
he is buried one mile beyond Lavergne from here, or
fourteen miles from Nashville, on the pike near a
burned bridge. The grave is marked by two stones.
Also the body of Frank Eaton, of whose death I
advised you by telegraph, lies buried in this town,
in the cemetery of the Presbyterian church..
You will excuse the paper upon which this letter
is written, as it is all I can get in the house, and the
contraband servant cannot go out at night without a
cc pass.""
Yours fraternally, J. S. C.
P. S.—There is not the slightest appearance of the
Sabbath here. The whole population is completely
demoralized.
lltioND'Ar MINI cu.—Having received an addi
tional sheet of paper, I would add a few more lines,
communicating some facts that may be important.
You may not.be aware that, at the meeting held
on the evening of our departure, a large number of
the friends of the Anderson Cavalry boys made a
special request that I should telegraph to them when
it was ascertained that their loss was not so great as
was at first represented. It was deemed prudent not
to send despatches announcing the safety of those
for whom their requests had been made, lest it" might
be inferred that those of whom nothing had been commu
nicated were not safe. •
I wish, however, to mention the case of E. E.
Griffith, Company who is safe. His friends gave
me a letter for him : and handed me $5 to pay ex
pellee of telegraphing to them, .but did not give me
then address. Without this the despatch would be
useless. His letter was sent to camp. I Will see
him and the men at the camp when I return to Natih
ville. .
Dr. Read, who is officially connected with the U.
S. Sanitary Commission, and with whom I hive be
come well acquainted, has informed me that they
have about three ,hundred boxes of stores just ar-
Mired iriNashville, one hundred will be here to-day
or to-morrow, and our commission here and there
can distribute from them.
A word in regard to the future of this work, so
auspiciously begun. I apprehend most of our men
cannot be absent from home beyond two or three
weeks from the time they left. As there is eo much
to be done here, (I mean in this department,) making
Nashville the base of operations, I think it would
be exceedingly desirable to have it continued. This
is the more important as arrangements can be made
with the Sanitary Commission,that when our sup
plies are exhausted we 'can raw upon them, and
have free access to their stores. _ Please, therefore,
secure a corps of ten geicieni, experiencedmen, to come
here when the delegations with us shall have been
relieved. A few good men, who are not afraid to
work, and withal who have experience, are worth
scores of an opposite character. They must also be
prepared to endure some privations in sleeping and
eating, and in other respects.
I must now close. The circumstances under whicll
I have written this letter are quite unfavorable; you
must therefore excuse its appearance.
Yours fraternally,

THE BROAD-STREET RAILWAY CASE.—PRELIII
NAM' INJUNCTION GRANTED.
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania vs. The Navy
Yard, Broad-street, and Fairmount Railway Com
pany et al. In this case, which was argued on Sa
turday, on the 'information filed by the Attorney
General of the State praying an injunction against
the company, Chief Justice Lowrie stated yesterday
that in this case he deemed it proper to announce
that the Court intended to grant the motion for a
preliminary jnjunstion. They would not now define
the extent of that injunction, except to state that
the company has no rights but those of a street passen
ger railway company. The Court would .write an
opinion, but they made this announcement in order
that neither party should incur additional expense.
The Chief Justice, in reply to a question from Mr.
Knox one of the counsel for the company, said that
the opinion would be read some time this week.
THE COMMON COUNCIL INJUNCTION CASE.
Kerr vs. Trego et al. The application by the De
mocratic organization of Common Council for an in
junction against the Union organization, was to have
been heard yesterday morning before a full Court at
Nisi Prius, but the Chief Justice stated that owing
to the inability of Justice Woodward to attend, the
case would have to go over until Wednesday. •
The following opinions were dblivered, among
them an interesting one on limited partnerships, by
Justice Thompson, as follows :
Thomas Singer vs. Charles Kelly: Error to the
District Court. Opinion of the court by Thompson, J.
On the 16th of June, 1856, a copartnership was
formed for the transaction of a general commission
business, in the city of Philadelphia, between Wil
liam J. Martin, William McCallaster, and Charles
Kelly, under the firm name of Martin EckcCallaster.
It was to be a partnership under the act of Assembly
of the 21st of March, 1858. Martin & .McCallaster
Were to be the general_ partners, and Kelly the spe
cial partner. The firm was dlliy organized, and
, Kelly paid in• $20,000 in cash, his agreed contribu
tion to the firm. The firm commenced business, but
in'ahout six months failed, sinking the entire sum
contributed .hy the special partner, and had an un
liquidated indebtedness of some $78,000, which the
assets were totally inadequate to satisfy.
Under these circumstances the plaintiffhas brought
this action against all the partners as general part
ners, seeking to make the special partner liable, on
the ground that the business of the firm was changed,
and that such change, without first having a new
certificate, rendered him liable.
The evidence of a change consisted of two distinct
purchases by Martin & McCallaster; one on the 26th
of June, 1851, of fifty bales of cotton, amounting to
$4,200, for which they gave notes, and the. other,
four days after, of sixty tierces of rice, at $2,100, also
on a credit of four months.
The learned judge of the District Court who tried
the case was of opinion that there was no proof of
knowledge or assent by the special , partner to these
purchases, not within the legitimate scope of the .
business of the firm. He, therefore, reserved the
point whether a special partner could be made liable
for a change in the business without a knowledge
that it had taken place, and dirceted a verdict for
the plaintiff, subject to the entry of judgment for the
defendant non obstante veredieto. . Subsequently and
after argument 'in bane in the District Court, judg
ment was entered for the defendant on the point re-,
served.
We have before us, , therefore, the case "pure and
simple" of an effort to charge a special partner
as a general partner, on acebunt of a change in the
business of the firm, without any knowledge what
'ever of a change in the business of the firm, either in
point of fact or as a presumption arising from
his connection with the transaction. Can this be
Cone!
The section of the act under which this result is
claimed is the twelfth section, and reads as follows:
' "Every alteration which shall be - made in the
names of the partners, in the nature of the business,
or in the capital or shares thereof, or in other mat
:ter specified in the original certificate, 'shall be
deemed a dissolution of the partnership , and any such
partnership, which shall in any manner be carried
on after such alteration shall have been made, shall
be deemed a general partnership, uTntess renewed as
.a special partnership, according to the last .(pre
'ceding) section."
The contest was, therefore, really between intellif
gent action as the ground of liability, on the one
LEGAL INTELLIGENCE-
hand, ano a clairo;) ( 1 liability by force merely of the.
words of the Istritute,•togardlees of the 'element of
knowledge or assent, on the other. Did the Legiala- I
ture mean this last position to be the true interpre-
taf.;, o a of the clause? I
Unless it plainly appdars that liability, without
any reference to knowledge or intentional violation
of the provision in question was meant, we shoUld
not give it a construction leading to such penal con.
sequence as is contended for. It would be contrary
to natural justice, and this result should not be ae.
rived at hyinterpretation,'unless it be inevitable.:
It is 'a maxim of justice which declares that no
one shall suffer for another's fault : ' , Nemo punitur •
pro alien delido." I admit , there are exceptions to
'
the rule, however . Things Maio prohibits may incur
liability, sometimes, without the knowledge, really, ••
of the party actually liable. So, in cases oesurety
ship, liability always arises out of the acts or omit"-
eibias of the principal ; but; In these easel; the con
sequence results from positive municipal regulatiOn
on.the one hand, and the nature of the engagement'.
on the other. But neither of these relations exists
here. I cannot find any warrant, under a fair inter
pretation of this clause of the statute, for holding'
that the special partner is a guarantor for the' gene
ral partners, further than his definite acceding to
the contract, nor that it is to be construed as a penal
statute. I think that an analysis of the statute
itself will show that its consistency can only be
preserved by holding the special partner to be in
volved only by his own acts of violation ' or by
assenting to those of his copartners, when heknows,
or is presumed to know, them.
We have no decisions on the precise point under
consideration in our own State, nor have any been
referred to as adjudged .in the other States where a
aimilar laid exists. We mint therefore, explore the
meaning of this clause by the light of other provisions
the statute involving the same responsibility..
Dissolution of the partnership is what, in contem
plation of the law,' was the first consequence to flow
from any of thenhanges or alterations spoken of in
the section.. But the • law also contemplates the
carrying on of the, business in an associated and
general form of Partnership, without the limitation
proviSions, and holding all liable as general partners.
It is the carrying ono!' the business after a violation
in any of 'the particulars specified which turns the
concern into a general partnership. Now, if the
general partners, without the knowledge or assent
of the special partner, could change the " nature of
the busineria,'.t so as to. render the special partner
liable, it would be to apply a more' severe; rule than
could obtain'if the violation consisted in a change of
the firm name, or of the capital or shares in it,
which manifestly ionic'. not be done- without the.
assent' f all, and yet the 'consequences would be the
mune. Thus, there would be no distinction between
intentional violations and those neither intended
nor known.
In many other provisions of the statute, the conse
quences of violations are fixed to the extent of
general liability of the special partner—but without
exception, I think, they all imply the knowledge or
assent of the party to be charged of the acts done
to which . the consequence is -attached. A false
statement in the original certificate will have this
effect, and Hills must be made by all. So, after
organization, transacting the business of the firm,
oracting as agents or, attorney for it, or interfering
in its business, and perhaps for withdrawing capi
tal, will each render the special partner liable, but
they all imply violation with knowledge of the act.
The 20th and 21st sections of the act especially
exhibit the rule of justice evidently intended by the
Legislature. Assignment for certain* purposes, and
with certain intent, after insolvency or contemplated
insolvency by the firm, or by a partner under the
same circumstances, is forbidden ; and the 22d section
provides that if any special partner shall violate any
of these provisions, or assent to any such violation,
he shall be liable as a general partner. The gronnd
of liability is here plainly apparent as only to
ensue in consequence of a personal violation of the
act, or assenting to its violation by copartners.
argue, therefore, that if the statute throughout, as I
think it does, fixes the consequences of.violations of
its provisions to be general liability, and they ne
.cessarily imply knowledge and assent, we may fairly'
presume that the same cause was supposed to be
necessary to produce the same result in the clause
in question. If the change of the nature of the
business, therefore, by his copartners, was not known
by the defendant Reny, and the business was carried
on afterwards, without his knowledge that it had
been changed, he would not be liable in consequence
thereof. ,
• It is not intended to deny that the requisites of
the statute must be strictly, pursued in organizing
and conducting limited partnerships; but this should
not change the rule of interpretation, which requires
in publiceneficial statutes that construction which
will promote their objects rather than destroy them.
One of the great objects of this system of limited
partnerships was to encourage• the employment of
capital, without personal activity on the part of its
owners, by associating it with industry and enter
prise, which might not he possessed of oapital. But
should we hold that a change in the business, which
might be made by the active partners without the
knowledge or assent, either actual or to be presumed
from circumstances of the special partner, the capt
taliet, and he be liable notwithstanding, it would
deter all prudent men from investing or embarking'
their capital in any such way; for, by the very terms
of the act, he is not allowed to interfere with• the
operations of the. concern. Such a construction
would put him completely within the poiver and at
the mercy of his copartners. But when we hold him
only for his own act or assent, we place responsibili
ty on its true ground—the choice of the party. •
These views are supported by the case of the Madi
son County Bank vs. Gould, 5 Hill, 309. That case
arose on the New York. statute regulating limited
partnership, from which ours was copied, I believe
verbatim. It was attempted in that case, as in this,
to hold the special partner liable as a general part
ner. One ground was, a mistake of a month in the .
advertisement, in 'setting forth the commence
ment of the firm to be in November instead of Oct°.
ber. The court there held that, as there was no evi
dence of an intentional violation of the statute in the
mispublication, the special partner was not liable
by reason of it. Another ground claimed for liability
was the investment of a large portion of the capital
in the purchase of real estate not within the scope
of the business of the firm.. The special partner's
liability was made to turn on the question of know
ledge and assent to the purchases, although the con
veyance was taken in his as well as that of his co-:
partner's name. Bronson, J. said : "I cannot think
him liable for the wrong done by his copartners,
without showing that he participated in the act." In
the same Spirit is Bowen vs. Migall, 24 Wendell, 497.
We are of opinion, therefore, that there was no
error in the ruling of this point in the court below.
We see nothing in the other specifications of error
requiring special notice. We agree with the court
below, that we see no reason for holding that the
special partner had anything to do with the care and
collection of the debts of the firm after it failed. If
he was not involved as a general partner, he had no
concern in it. His money was in it, and applicable
to the debts,
and that was the only extent of his
connection with it.
J. S. C.
There was no offer to • show that Kelly assented to
any assignment of assets, so as to render him liable
on that score, and the court properly rejected the
offer to 'prove that the general partners made some
such assignment. Judgment affirmed.

HOMICIDE OASE. . •
Gilbert Lewis was put upon trial yesterday, in
this court, charged with the murder of Benjamin
Scott. It appeared that the defendant occupied a
room in the second Amy of a building in the neigh
borhood of Seventh and Bedford streets, from which
a passage-way led to an opening, from which a lad
der descended to the ground, a distance of some nine
feet. At the foot of the ladder was a paling fence.
On the night of the 12th of November Scott, very
muckintoxicated, called on the defendant at his
room, 'and while there an altercation occurred be
tween them, in the course of'which the latter order
ed him to leave his house. In doing so, Scott either
fell down the ladder or was pushed down. it by the
defendant for he was found against the fence with
three of his ribs fractured, and a severe contusion on
the head. He was taken to the hospital, and, in two
days afterwards died from apoplexy, induced by his
injuries. Dennis O'Brien, who represented the Com
monwealth. after the evidence on the iiart of the
prosecution had been heard, abandoned the case, and
the jury rendered a verdict — of not guilty. John
O'Byrne Es q., appeared for the defendant, having
been assigned by Judge Ludlow as counsel.
THE POLICE.
ißefore Mr. Alderman &Men)
The Fifth-Ward Election Case—Further
Delay.
Charles W. Brooke et al, charged with issuing a
certificate of election to Wm. Meeser without au
thority of law, by which Mr. M. claims a seat in the
Common Council, came up at half past three o'clock
yesterday afternoon. Mr. Geo. W. Biddle was pre-.
sent, and stated that he represented one of the de
fendants, but as the counsel for the others were not
present, he suggested a postponement.
Mr. David W. Sellers, for the Commonwealth, de
sired to hear one or two witnesses—namelyr, Messrs.
Robert Ewing, ex-sheriff, and Semi. P. Hall, who
prepared the proclamation.
There is such an evident desire to procrastinate
the hearing that the case may be inquired into at
once by the grand jury, and the return made to court
in a style that will be apt to rather astonish some
of the legal fraternity. The following evidence was
elicited : .
Robert Ewing sworn. I was sheriff last October;
Mr. Hall prepared the proclamation for the general
election; I signed it.
Mr. Ewing retired. Mr. Samuel P. Hall was cal
led to the stand to prove the proclamation.
Mr. Biddle (counsel for one of the defendants) sug
gested that as Mr. Brooke was not present the
case be postponed.
Mr. Brooke entered the, office at this moment.
Mr. Biddle desired the evidence of the ex.sheriff to
be read to him.
Alderman Beitler responded as desired.
llir.•Brooke remained silent, warming his fingers
at the stove.
Mr. Sellers desired to examine Mr. Bali.
Mr. Biddle suggested that the case might go over
until all the counsel could be present. Mr. Hall is
in the immediate neighborhood, and his attendance
can be obtained at any. time.
Mr. Sellers, while he felt willing to accommodate
his professional brethren at all times, modestly con
tended that Mr. Hall could be examined now, as his
evidence forms the basis of the prosecution.
Mr. Hall was sworn. I prepared the proclamation
of the last general election (printed copyof the docu
ment here shown); .I received a list of the taxable.
from the City Commissioner ,• the Fifth ward was
excepted ; t h at was left out ; • there was some dispute
between the assessors ; I had not the list of taxables
before me when I made out the return ,• one of the
City Commissioners, I think Mr. Neal, erased the
Fifth ward ; I could not wait until the dispute be
tween the assessors was concluded, and, therefore,:
made out the proclamation:without the list of
Fifth ward; because of the erasure spoken of
there was no reference made to the election of
member of Common Council, Fifth ward ; I treated
the erasure as though it had been a blank.. "
Question by Mr. Sellers. Before the proclamation
came out did you not get a corrected returnl
A. 'I don't remember having received it; I • know
the dispute was still pending, and the case came up
in the criminal court.
R. At any time did you receive a corrected reporti
Mr. Biddle objected.
In answer to a question propounded by Mr. Bid
dle, the witness replied; to the best-of my recollec
tion I received no corrected or other return before
preparing the proof of printed proclamation.
rdr. Biddle desired the alderman to make a memo.
random of this reply in the proceedings.
The further hearing.was now postponed until five
o'clock tomorrow afternoon. , ,„
Arrest of Alleged Burglars:
Edward ,Duffy, Elias S. Relgel, George Hender
son, William Watt, and Richard McCarthy, were
arrested yesterday morning by officers of the police
divisions of Lic.ut, Witcraft and Lieut. Spear, oa
lil PRESS.--PHILADELPIEIA;
the suspicion of having forcibly entered the dry
goodr store of Thomas S. 'Feist,. at Girard: avenue
and Shackamaxon street, at an early hour on Sun
day morning. During the investigation some evi
dence was adduced that tended to implicate some.
One or more of , the prisoners in the robbery of the
store of Dir. George Riche, at Front and Otter
;'streets. Two of the prisoners, Duff's, and Reigel,
Were identified as being a part of a gang of six per
sons who knoekid down funiredibed Louis alechesie
of the sum of $26 on Saturday night. The parties
, chkving been arraigned, the prOoeidings progressed as
follows: . • ' . •
' • Officer Keyser tstified ifint iliciut 3 Weimar on •
Sunday morning he saw. a MEM go away from the
dry goodestore of Mr. Pais, ,t • followed him down to
Frankford road ; •then turned back - and met °Moors
Dietz and Bookhamer ; saw, alight over the transom,
as though sonte - orie -was striking'a thatch ; saw
Duffy - come out of the store and run do the greet ;
Officers Dietz and Bookhamer chased him ; he
knocked Bookhamer, illiwn,•find Dieti-eientifined the
Chaim ; I saw another Man in the Store; I held the
door shut and sprung my rattle for assistance; we
arrested him, and he told us where we might get
thaothers ; we recovered these two drawers at a
house we were directed to (drawers here shown and
identified by John P. Taylor as havinabeen stolen
from the store of George Riche; prisoner told us
"that Henderson was in the store; I took McCarthy
into custody, simply from description given of a
man said t. be one of the gang, but found out that
he was not the right man. • These two drawers
were stolen from a store in the Sixteenth ward; we
found them in a room occupied by Watts jone of the
prisoners),
,we arrested Henderson in Front below
Laurel streets. The officer here produced an iron
pry, a broken staple, several keys and Government
musket screw-driver, a new pocket-book—nothing
in it—no store mark upon it.
Officer Irvin. testified that he heard the rattle
epringing and hastened to Second and Shackamaxoff
streets to assist Officer Keyser ;'went into the store,
struck a light, , and discovere Reigel behind the
d6or ; took htm into custody.
' Officer Dietz testified as to the chase he gave
Duffy, the one who had knocked Officer Bookhamer
down. . _
Officer John' McKee testified to seeing Duffy in a
tavern between four and five o'clock ; arrested him;
took from him this billy and pocket-book (billy and
pocket-book shown.)
Thos. S. Paint sworn.—Am proprietor of the store
at the oorner of Shaolcamaxon and Second streets ;
none of my goods are missing; a little over a dollar
in pennies were taken from the , drawer-; also three
dollars in uneurrent notes ; two or three counterfeit
• notes were also taken; the store is separated from
the dwelling part of• the house; two families live in
the house;'there are no communicating doors be
tween the store and these apartments. :
• Here a question may arise whether the crime, t if
any was committed, is burglary or not .
Robert M. Paint, son of the proprietor, testified
that on Friday evening last, just as he was about,
closing the store, two persons came' there and made
inquiries about handkerehiefs, but went away with
out having purchased any; as they were going out
one of. them pulled at a piece of delaine hanging 'at
the door, but did not get it away ; these two men
went up the street, - gave a whistle, and were joined
by another man, 'and' the three persons then went
away ; the two who came to the store are Duffy and
Beige! ; .am certain of -this. -
John P. Taylor sworn.—l am in the employ of
Mr. George Riche, at Front and Otter streets ; the
place was entered some time after 9 o'clock last
night ;.a pane of glass was cut out and the fasten
trigs removed ,• these two drawers are mine; pennies
to the amount of $2.60 , and some small notes,: a 20-
cent and a $1 counterfeit note were taken. This
witness examined some of the things found in pos
session of the parties arid identified the, government
musket screw driver - and also a brass key,:aa his
• ..
property.
The alderman milted The prisoners whether they
had anything to say.
Reig,el replied that hewent up town with a couple
of fellows; found the store of Mr. Paist open ; went
in and took a seat on a box ; only knew one of , the
fellows; they call him Scotty ; never saw this man
(pointing to Dully) before to-day.
"Have you anythhig , to say, Duffy'?" inquired, the
alderman. " Yee, sir, replied the prisoner. "At
the time this affair happened I was in the lager-beer
saloon on Third street, below Chestnut; two police
officers were in there at - the time • I'm sure they
would know me again if they could time;
me ; I went
up town and stopped at : Front and Otter streets,
where the officer arrested me."
Mr. Thomas Paid, on being asked, said it struck
him veq-forcibly that he had seen Reigel and Duffy
about.the store on Friday evening.
Mr. Taylor said the dwelling part of the house at
Front and Otter streets is occupied by•the family of
Mr. Vandyke.
Officer. Dietz recalled. I am sure that Duffy is
the man I chased ; he is the one that came out of
the store.
Jacob Snell testified that he lives on Girard aie
nue,•but does not know hoWthe drawers stolen from
the store at Front and Otter streets got into , his
house; have seen Henderson and Watts there to
gether; have not seen Henderson there since last
Tfiursday.
Louis. Idacheski testified that he lives on Twenty
'first street, above Pine; on last Saturday evening
went into a public house, with a friend, on Howard
street, below Girard avenue; on coining our/was
knocked down and robbed of twenty-five dollars ;
there .were six men in•the gang; I recognize:Duffy
and Beige! as two of them; I have no doubtabout
their identity.
A knife found in the possession of Henderson was
full of putty as though used in removing.the pane of
glass from the store where the drawers were stolen.
There being no evidence against McCarthy, he was
discharged. The other four parties were committed
to answer the charge of committing two burglaries,
highway robbery; as indicated in the evidence above
reported.
(Before Mr. Alderman Gibson.]
Caught at Last.
Wm. Mullin and .Tames McArnish, a couple of
bad boys, were arraigned before the alderman yes
terday, and were held to bail to be of future good
behavior, and to keep the peace. For some time
past, a number of boys% have amused themselves by.
standing on a bridge that overlooks the German
town cars, and throwing stones at the conductors or
passengers. Several persons have been injured by
the boys. Complaints having been made to the lieu
tenant of the police he stationed a couple of officers
in a. convenient place, and on Saturday the two
above-named prisoners were captured in the act of
pelting the cars. The alderman reprimanded them
severely, after which he ordered them to enter bail
as above stated.
Three Warnings.
A number of instances have been reported at the
Central station of persons calling at the houses of
some of the best residents of the city for clothes to
wash, stating that because :the , washwoman being
sick, she could not come herself and had sent the ap
plicants. ,It was subsequently.ascertained that the
parties had not been sent for the clothes.
Warning number two may be stated as follows :
Quite a number of poorlyiclad, worsen have been
going around from house to: hou . se - Ivithi doleful
stories about their husbands being in thefarmy—re
ceiving .no pay—landlords about, to turn the dis
consolate wives and children into the street because
of the non-payment of the rent. Some of these.
women act in so plausible a manner, that in many..
instances they have received a considerable amount'
'of money by these means. It was stated that one
female had actually, by retailing out these pitiable
stories, accumulated nearly fifty dollars in a single
day.
Warning number three may be disposed of as
follows : From certain indications, it is evident
that petty counterfeiters are about to flood the oity
of Philadelphia with counterfeit city'of Wilmington
notes, of various denominations, from fifty cents
down to five. The community is hereby warned, in
advance, of the expected issue of such spurious
notes.

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,
ve.ich seemed like a trance. The mucous surface of my
mouth and throat had become so parched and feverish.
nat I was In constant misery. I Was also suffering
from all the horrors of DysPepsia, loss of appetite, Nau
sea, and frequent and severe attacks of vomiting; and so
prostrated was my general system, that I 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 Homoeopathic school, and exhausted their
catalogue of remedies, but found only temporary relieL
In this condition, when every ray of hope seemed para
lyzed, I heard of the discovery of Profeseor Bolles in the
use of Elechicity, and the wonders he was performing in
curingdiseaaa, and placed myself under his treatment ;
and, to the astonishment of myself and friends, in two
operations-my Diabetes was controlled, and other diffi
culties min disappeared; my appetite has returned, sleep
undisturbed, and, in feet, I feel like one made anew.
I would further state that I have seen other remark
able cures performed by Prot Bolles, and would advise
the diseased to call at 1228 Walnut street, and be restored
to health.. I shall be glad to give any one information
calling on Ins. THOMAS HARROP_ ,
Rose Mill, West Philadelphia-
Philadelphia, May Ist, )860.
Read the following from a preacher of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, Ito. 1833 Helmuth street, Philadel
phia :
In attempting a definition of my disease, I can only
give some of the many symptoms which, taken altogee
ther, were the most horrid ; and even medical men did
not know my disease from pathological symptoms. How
ever. Professor, C. H. Bolles, by whom I was cured, lo
cated my disese in the pelvic viscera, in five minutes
after I entered his office, an offered to warrant a perfect
cure in eight applications. And I frankly admit that in
eight applications of Electricity. administered by Pro
fessor Boum, 1220 Walnut street, Philadelphia, 1 am
mrfectly cured ; and to me this is most astonishing, for I
Lad 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 core, although no shocks were
given. All was pleasant, and accomplished as if by
magic.
I will give moat of my symptoms, for the benefit of
suffering humanity. I had dyspepsia, bad marasmus, or
wasting of the tissues of the whole body ; at times a
difficulty of breathing, some palpitation of the heart.
much bronchitis, trembling of the limbs after exercise,
aversion to business and company ; at times gloomy, ina
bility 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 secretions of the
kidneys and other glands of the system, constant drag
' ging pains in the lumbar region, and severe nervous diz
ziness.
I believe it is my duty, as a lover of humanity, to re
commend this discovery of Professor B()LLES to ithe
enlisted of all classes. There seems to be no guesswork,
no confusion, no matter of doubt in his treatment. Be
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 EDW ARD his treatmen

ANOTHER CURE OF PARALYSIS Ot THE LOWER
LIMBS (Paraplegia) AND APOPLEXY COMBINED.
Bead the following:
Pitri.anaLPHre, March 31, 1662.
PROFESSOR Boum, L 220 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 yon for snatching me, as
it were, from immediate death. About two years ago,
while a resident of Cincinnati, Ohio, I was visited wan.
an attack of paralysis' of the lower extremities. which
rendered me almost entirely unable to stand upon my
limbs. I employed some of the moat celebrated physi
cians to be found in that section, but received no appa
rent benefit, and after a lapse of about eighteen months
was taken with a spasm, which one of my physicians
pronounced a fit of apoplexy. Two weeks elapsed from
that time before I became the least conscious of anything
that had transpired, nor could I concentrate my mind or
converse upon any subject without becoming very vi
sionary 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, Etc.

Publisher of the Nationai Merchant, once 126 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 to treat diseases according to
his discovery. This caution may seem severe on those
using Electricity at hazard, but it is the severity of truth,
and designed for the good of humanity. See advertise
