The Democratic Nominees Elected.
Yesterday• afternoon both branches of the City
Council held a regular stated meeting.
SELECT BRANCH.
• _ _
At the open in g Of the Council yesterday afternoon
there Was a scene of persona/ dispute,ln which Mr.
Brightly took . a leading part. He said that the
minutes of the last meeting were not correct. The
following item appears in the printed journal :
"Mr. Catherwood moved to suspend the rule
which prohibits the reading of hills more than once
on the same day, and that. Council proceed to the
third reading of the bill, which was agreed to."
Mr. BRIGHTLY remarked - that there was no sus
pension of the rules, that he desired the record to
state the truth and did not wish the clerks to cover
up the incapacity of the temporary incumbent of the
chair, (Mr. Davis.) If the temporary incumbent
of the chair was so entirely ignorant of the rule as
to put a bill on third reading with a.slispension of
the rules, then the journal should show it. The
speaker considered that the Chamber owed him a
vote of thanks for the selection of Mr. Lynd as Pre
sident, instead of the gentleman from the Fifteenth
ward. In conclusion, Mr. BRIGHTLY moved that
the objectionable item be stricken from the minutes.
Mr. OATH/IRV/00D said he was surprised at the
remarks of the gentleman froth the Fifteenth ward.
The motion certainly was made at the last meeting,
and it was agreed to as the minutes state. The
gentleman from the Fifteenth ward (Mr. Brightly)
presumes to dictate to the clerks what record they
shall make, and, in so doing, he is impertinent.
Mr. BRIGHTLY replied that if the gentleman froth
the Twenty-fifth ward (Mr. Catherwood) avers that
he made the motion to suspend the rules, and heard
it put by the Chair, then I must take it, in spite of
my own senses.
Mr. WRTTURRILL arose to speak.
Mr. LYN]) (president) announced there was no bu
siness before the Chamber.
Mr.WETit rutt r.r.,on leave beinggranted, made some
remarks. He said that he considered that Mr.
Brightly owed something more to the Chamber than
a simple withdrawal of the motion. w A charge has
been made against Mr. Davis, and the withdrawal
of the motion is an admission that it 'MO unfound
ed. The gentleman from the Fifteenth ward had
been insulted by the gentleman from the Twenty
second ward, and an apology should be made. The
gentleman from the Fifteenth ward had been a mem
ber of Council for a number of years, and is as able
to fill the chair as the present incumbent, and cer
tainly, in his (Mr. WetherilPs) opinion, much more
able than the gentleman from the Twenty-second
ward'. Ever since Mr. Davis has been in the Cham
ber he has ever been.found faithtul and true, and
would receive the endorsement of every member of
the chamber excepting, perhaps, the gentleman from
the Twenty-second ward.
Mr. BRIGHTLY, in reply to Mr. Wetherill said:
"if the gentleman from the Ninth ward had been
hpresent at the last meeting, then he knows what I
ave said is true." .
WririmaiLL, with some degree of warmth,
laconically replied: " I deny it"
Mr. BRIGHTLY reiterated what he had said.
Mr. o.mm:worn), on.the other aide of the circle,
exclaimed to Mr. Brightly, "I deny it."
Great sensation in the chamber.
Mr. Bniorimr rejoined as follows: " The . cierks
had heard no such motion."
The exciting remarks so personal in their charac
ter now mine to a close, and the President sub
mitted the annual report of Trustees of the Phila
delphia Gas Works, which was ordered to be
printed. The report of the the Managers of the.
Wills! Hospital was also presented and ordered to
be printed.
At this stage of the proceedings communication
was received from S. 0. Dawson, the secretary of
commission for the relief of the
Families of Volunteers,
from which we learn, that the sum of $26,307.45
had been expended for said purpose within the past
two weeks ; that the whole amount expended since
the beginning is $1,0'76,193.47.
Passenger Railways.
• •
Mr. Gm'NOD° submitted a resolution in opposi
tion to.the proposition to lay a passenger railway
track on Ninth and Twelfth streets, and urging upon
the members of the State Senate and House of Re
presentatives to oppose the passage of any bill that
]lna y be offered or may now be pending before their
bodies.
The resolution was agreed to.
- Mr. CATIIERWOOD made a motion that Select
Council meet Common Council at five o'clock this
afternoon, for the purpose of electing three directors
of the Sunbury and Erie Railroad and two directors
. of the North Pennsylvania-Railroad Company.
A motion was made to postpone the consideration
of the resolution.
Agreed to—eyes 13, nays 12.:• •
" It soundSlike treason."
Dr. Naistantv„ of the Second ward, submitted
the following : • • •
Whereas, On the 28th inst., a lawless act was per
petrated in the city . of Philadelphia, by certain indi
viduals, who kidnapped a citizen of :Pennsylvania,
the publisher of a publicjournal, took possession of
his office and its appointments, and prevented the
further publication of his paper; and,
Whereas, The circumstances surrounding this
transaction are such as to arouse the indignation of
every law•abiding citizen, who feels that his liberty,
his life, and his property, are guarantied by the consti
tution and the law, and that any deviation of either,
without due process of law, may be ranked as
among: the moat infamous of outrages : therefore,)
Resolved, That the Mayor be, and he is hereby au
thorized and directed, to offer a reward of $l,OOO for
the arrest and conviction of each of the participators
in this unconstitutional proceeding.
Resolved, That every officer of the law be requested
and required to assist, as far as in him lies, in the
accomplishment of the purposes of these resolutions.
The resolutions having been interlined, the clerk
could not read it smoothly, whereupon
Dr. Ulatnn asked that the resolutions be again
read, as he desired to understand them exactly .It
seems to him they are an insult to the United states
Government—it sounds like treason.
A motion was made to refer them to the Commit
tee on Law, yet to be appointed.
Mr. hii r.nau moved to Jay them on the table.
Mr. Awirarnoxo moved to refer them to a special
committee.
Dlr. Lytio, (President). The motion to lay on the
table is in order, on which the yeas and nays are
ordered.
The motion was agreed to by the following rote—
nays 13, nays 12:
YEAS—Messrs. Brightly, Davis, Ginnodo, Greble,
:Manuel, Miller, Paulin Riche, Spering, Uhler,
WetherilL Zane, and Lynil, President-12.
NAYS—Messrs. Armstrong, Baird, Baron, Cather
wood, Harris, Kamer king, Marcus, McElroy,
'itt()lson, Itleketts : .and Weaver-12.
Nal tonal Tax on Gas.
Mr. WET H EuiLt offered a bill making an appro
priation of the sum of $8,345 to pay the national
lax upon the gas consumed in the street lamps in
the city during the months of September, October,
November, and December.
On this prolific stilljer:. a long debate ensued, after
which the bill was referred to a special committee of
live.
Ronrand Directors.
After considerable discussion, select Council con
curred in a retolution passed by the other branch,
to meet in convention to elect certain railroad di
rectors. On the return of the members to the
chamber—
Trusters of Gas Works.
Council proceeded. to the election of two trus
tees of the Philadelphia Gas Works.

Mr. BR:OHTLY voted for Mr. Williams and Manul.
This vote elected .111 e last named gentleman, who
Was the Republican caucus nominee.
The second ballot for the remaining trustee was
'taken, which resulted in the election a .aa. Trotter,
31e having received 13 votes. The odd vote was east
for him by Mr. Catherwooti, in order to prevent the
election of Mr, Williams. The result of this vote
caused quite a sensation among the outsiders.
T
here seemed to be a deep interest in this election.
The votes having been east,, and the anxiety of lis
tening spectators satisfied, the place appropriated
for the people speedily became less crowded. Coun
cil now proceeded to the consideration of - the bill
making an appropriation to the families of the
Volunteers.
A long discussion ensued, in which it was urged
that the bill ought to pass at once, as the commis-
Mon have been paring out borrowed money for the,
past week or two. The bill was finally referred to a
committee of five, consisting of Messrs. Wetherill,
Spering, Harris, Weaver.

The Arrest of A. D. Boileau.
Mr. PAINTI'.It Offered a preamble and resolutions
respecting the Arrest of A. D. Boileau, of the Eve
ning Journal. The preamble sets forth that the said
arrest, being in violation of the rights of private
citizens, and en outrage upon the Constitution of
The United States and the State, deserves the con
demnation of evurl right-minded person. The reso
3utions read thus :
Be ft resolver!, That such proceedings on the part of
the authorities of the United States, placing the
military, in violation of the Constitution, superior
to the ci it authorities, are an infringement of the
rights of the owners and publishers of said jour
-7111.1, and of the cit.zens of Pennsylvania.
Resolved, That, in view of these facts, our repre
sentatives in the Legislature of Pennsylvania are
respectfully rcqu( elect to take immediate action, and
adopt such measures as in their judgment will
secure theindefeasit.le rights of our people, and pre
vent the kitlnappieg or uur citizens and the illegal
interference with and destruction of their property,
and also that they will use all honorable means to
procure tile passage of resolutions calling upon the
I.:xecutive of this State to.demand from the Federal
(Invernntent a due icspect for our sovereign rights,
4 ,
and to take such measures as will secure the imme
diate release of Albert D. Boiletiu from militarycon.
tinement and handing him over, if cause should be
shown, to the civil authorities of his own State and
vicinity, to answer to any charge that may be legally
preferred against him. •
Peso/red, That the Common Council, representing
the citizens of Philadelphia, emphatically condemn
the arbitrary an eat of Albert D. Boileau, and the
suppression of his paper, as unlawful acts, dangerous
to public liberty.
ECKSTEIN moved to lay the resolutions
on the table.
The yeas and nays were called, resulting as fol
lowa :

So the motion was lost.
Mr. Lciwt moved to postpone the resolutions.
Not agreed to. lie then moved to postpone for two
weeks. Mr. Leigh said that these resolutions may
be very proper if offered at the proper time. We as
has
been
do. not know whether any man
been arreeted by order of the Government. If Mr.
Boileau litdi*.been guilty of any misdemeanor, the
Governmenf..has the right to punish him. The
speaker was personally of the opinion that every
citizen should have a trial, if arrested. That trial
may be given the subject of these resolutions at the
proper time. In any event, it is not the business of
this Council to arraign the Goren:intent for what
ever, in its wisdom, it may deem tit to do.
Mr. tinusswkaa, inquired whether the pre
sident would not exercise his power, in keeping or
der outside the railing, as he could see that the
crowd there assembled were disposed to make a dis
turbance. These Councils were never dedicated to
ruffianism.
Mr. PAINTER desired to say that he offered those
resolutions with perfect sincerity, and did not wish
to be lectured, or his motives impugned. A great
public wrong had been committed in this city, and
it becomes the City Councils to resent the outrage.
Mr. Mr:EriEntaid it would make very little diffe
rence ton citizen whether he is here when, without
the privilege of uttering his' own sentiments or
whether he is in Fort Lafayette. The only diffe
rence is in favor of the . fort, because the prisoner is
supported by the Government, whereas, if he was
out of the fort, he would have to support himself.
[Laughter.] So fares the charge of ruffianism is
concerned, what has been the course of the gentle
man from the Tenth (Mr. Cresswell)= but one of
ruffianism since this Chamber tried to organize
itself 1 - -
Mr. CnksswEr,r. said that he had been a mem
ber of Common Council nearly four years, and
this was the first time in his life that he had been
charged with ruffianism. He would leave it to his
fellow-members to decide whether he had ever im
pugned the motives of a single gentleman, either
morally or politically. He had too much respect for
himself, too much for the dignity of Common Coun-'
cil. He, therefore, spurned the contemptible Bing
of the gentleman, whom we all know has no light
on this floor, anyhow. ••,- •
Mr. ECKSTEIN said that he had no doubt but that
the resolution would be adopted, for the political
majority are determined to pass it., if for no other
purpose than to show their opposition to the power
making the arrest.. This arrest is no matter of ours,.
and it does not become us to Introduce matters of
this kind. Let us submit to the law, as law-abiding
citizens.
Mr. Qui - N said that it was a peculiar logic—pecu
liar, probably,t o the preceding gentleman only—tha t
because the Government presumes to do a wrong,
that, therefore, the City Councils ought not to ex
press its condemnation of that wrong. The speaker
said that-no man was more favorable to the perpetui
ty of the Union than himself. He loved the Govern
ment, because it was the best Government of the
earth. No one -ever heard- him express one word of
sympathy for its enemies. He... Would wish that lie
would become palsied whenever:he would utter one
word in favor of the rebellion, as against the Union.
Yet he. would condemn the Administration for its
imbecility; he would condemn it because it did not
deal more deadly blows to the rebels and give more
hope for the re-establishment of the Union. In his
support of the Government he would go a little fur
ther than the Democratic doctrine, that inasmuch
as the President devoted three-fifths of his message
to the negro, and devoted not one line in expressing
a sympathy for a million of white soldiers in the
field, and thousands in the'grave; that insomuch as
the Administration loves the negroes so much, that
it should be empowered to enlist a negro army,
place wooly-head Fremont at their head, and let
them go South and fight for Union and Liberty.
'Din Qum would willingly give to the Administra
tion all the power possible to suppress the rebellion,
but, withal, he would not justify it in dragging pri
vate citizens, living away off from the field of con
filet, into dungeons, thus depriving them of the in
alienable rights of citizenship and manhood.
Mr. LEIGH could not see how a man could support
The Governmentand yet work against the Adminis
tration. He who did not support the Administration
in its endeavors to put down the rebellion could not
be in faVor of the Government.
The motion to postpone for two weeks was not
agreed to. .
Mr. CaEsswiaz moved to refer the resolution to a
special committee of five.
Mr. BARGEr. gave his reasons why he should vote
against the reference. He denied the right of the
Federal soldiers to enter the house of any citizen of
Philadelphia and drag him from his home at mid
night without any allegations of guilt. He did not
agree with some of the members, that the simple
duty of Councils is to vote dollars and cents for the
city of Philadelphia. We are the custodians of the
interests of the citizens, and, as custodians, we
should inquire into any alleged infringements upon
the rights and privileges of the people. He did not
wish to be understood as favoring those in armed
opposition to the Government. The Democratic
party is for the. Union but it is also for justice and
right. It is against hie imbecile Administration
whenever it prostitutes its power towards violating
the rights and privileges of the people. We have
furnished men and means and we demand that
neither shall be squandereduselessly.
The motion to refer to a committee was not agreed
to.
The resolutions were adopted—yeas 25, nays 18.
Frnud in the Gas Department.
Mr. PAINTER offered a resolution authorizing the
appointment of a committee to inquire into an al
leged fraud of $-12,000 on the part of a clerk in the
office of the trustees of the gas works. Adopted.
The resolutions from Select Council relative to the
death of Major Hatvkaworth were adopted.
Also, those in reference to the late Major Rosen
garten.

Council were announced as ready to go into joint
convention for election of certain officers.

Sunbury and Erie Railroad,

North Pennsylvania Railroad, Samuel Magattoe
and John Mclntyre.
Mr. A. W. ADAMS nominated Jacob Riegel and
Wm. H. Barnes.
Messrs. Magargee and Mclntyre were elected by
one majority.
The Co*ested Seats:
Mr. HARPER offered a protest, signed by' all, the
Republican members, against the course of the
Chamber in refusing to receive the certificate of J.
R. McCurdy, Esq. The protest says Mr. McCurdy
WAS " lawfully elected."
The CHAIR. received the protest, but said that it
could not be entered on the journal, as it stated to
be true what is considered untrue. There is a sit
ting member from the ward from which Mr. Mc-
Curdy claims to have been elected. We are not to
sit in judgment now on a question of a contested
sent.
Mr. QUIN moved to refer the protest back to Mr.
Harper for correction. Agreed to.
Mr. Sl3lrsoN offered a similar protest against the
right of Messrs. Leech, Meeser, and Greenwood to
hold seats in this Chamber.
The CHAR: stated that he could not receive the
protest.
It was referred back.
Mr. SIMPSON was about offering another paper,
when
Mr. NVOLIVERT moved to adjourn.
The yeas and nays were called, the Democrats
only voting for the adjournment.
The motion was agreed to.
ANNL'AT, MEETING OF THE SOCIETY OV
THE "UNION TEMPORARY HOME FOE CHILDREN.-
This meeting was held at the Home, northeast "'cop:
ner of Poplar and Sixteenth streets, yesterday
afternoon, at four o'clock. Rev. Mir. W. H. Furness
was In the chair, and Mr. D. C. McCammon secre
tary. in the annual report presented, the managers
acknowledge the liberality extended to this valuable
institution. This charity would seem to claim espe
cial consideration, because of its providing a com
fortable home and means of instruction for the
children of the poor, and because it thus aids the pa
rents without superseding them in the discharge of
their parental duties. The Home requires from the
parents the payment of a small weekly sum, which,
while it does but little toward defraying its ex
penses, yet establishes some claim upon the parents.
At press nt there are in the home thirty children of
soldiers now in the war. The support of the institu
tion has thus become a patriotic duty. The paving
of the yard and play-ground during the past year
has been attended to. The bread has been uniformly
excellent and of the very best quality and texture.
A bath room is desirable.
The Home is. situated in a most delightful and
healthy locality, the views from the windows being
fine and extensive; the interior is conducted with
extreme care and neatness, with thorough order and
discipline; the dilibrent departments are in satis
factory contrition; the children sing exceedingly
well, for they have been well taught, and look hap
py, intelligent, and contented; the kitchen and
dining rooms are attractive in the completeness of
their appearance;.the bed rooms are clean and tidy.
The present good state of the establishment is due
general y to the efficient services of the matron,
Mrs. Clara Mallery; assistant matron, Miss. Eliza
Mallery, and the teacher, Mist; Clara Mallery.
Sixty is the number of children to which the means
of the Home limit the managers in admitting; only
a portion remain any great length of time. Since
January Ist, 1862, fifty-eight children have been ad
mitted, and fifty-two taken away; seven have been
provided with homes, and one admitted into Girard
College. The amount received for the children's .
board is $1;31. Last year the semi-annual payment
of The Home's taxes and mortgage was liquidated
through the exertions of the Board of Counsel. For
the like purpose, from the .readings of Mrs. Kemble
$6OO was realized. Among the inmates,thece was no
serious Illness, and for the past two years only one
death.
•
The treasurer's report shows the annual receipts
of the Home to have been, during the past year,
$3,317.61, the expenditures $3,283.42, leaving a
balance of $94.19. The rules to be observed by the
parents of the children received into the • Union
Temporary Horne require that, upon the admission
of a child, a fortnight's board is to be paid in ad
vance; the board is to be paid weekly, in advance;
no child will be allowed to remain in the Home
when the parents or guardians have neglected to
pay the board for two weeks ; the children shall
wear Such clothing as the managers shall provide;
the parents or guardians must provide the shoes;
the patents and friends of the children shall be
allowed to visit them every Thursday afternoon; no
confectionery allowed to be brought to the Home;
the children are not to be taken away on holidays,
or at any time, except in cases of urgent necessity;
upon the admission of a child, the parent or guardian
bringing a child will be required to sign a certificate,
one copy being given to said parent or guardian, and
another to he retained and kept by the society, and
endorsed with the age of the child, place of residence,
and dale of admission; when, for the space of three
months, no payment has been received for the hoard
of any child, and nothing has been heard from the
parents or guardians of said child, the managers
will consider themseivei at liberty to.bind the child
out or provide for it another residence. The officers
were re-elected, and are as follows : President,
Ttichat d Vaux ; vice president, Slimes H. Orne ;
treasurer, Edward W. Clark ; secretary, David C.
McCam mon.

resolutions were unanimously adopted :
Whereas, This Board has been apprised of the de
mise of Mr. Isaac Collins,
Resolved, That in this removal of our friend and
fellow-member, the Northern Home for. Friendless
Children has lost one of its founders; who t in health,
was ever active in the discharge of his duties as a
trustee; inillness was ever. solicitous for -the con
tinued success of its benevolent labors, and in death
will be gratefully remembered for his zealous in
terest in its organization and throughout the infancy
of its existence.
Reiolved. That in the decease of Isaac Collins this
community has been deprived of one of her purest
and most generous-hearted citizens, whose example
is worthy the emulation of those permitted to survive
him.

rable Ohristian, in their bereavement, the assurance
of our respectful condolence; and that a committee
of three, together with the president and secretary,

finement to which Mr. Boileau, the proprietor, was
sent. Mr. Barger stated in. Common Council, din.:
ing the debate in that body on what the Democratic
members styled the " illegality” of the arrest, that
he had reason to believe that Mr. Boileau was sent
to Fort McHenry. The arrest has been the sullject
of much comment since it was announced, and - the
Democratic politicians are making political capital
out of it, boasting that it is a subject for rejoicing.
rather than for regret. Judge Ludlow's charge to
the Grand Jury on the subject, as well as the pro
ceedings in Councils, were the almost exclusive
topics of conversation on the. street yesterday after
noon..

LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.
Court of Oyer and Terminer and Quarter
Sessions—Judge Ludlow.
JUDGE LUDLOW CALLS THE ATTENTION OF TILE
GRAND JURY TO THE ARREST OF THE PROPRIE-
TOR OF THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Before the regular business of the court was pro
ceeded with, yesterday morning, a decided MEM
tion was caused by Judge Ludlow directing an of
ficer to request the appearance of the Grand Jury.
When they had come in and answered to their
names, the Judge addressed them as follows :
Gentleman of the Grand Jury:
It has come to my . knowledge that within the last
twenty-four hours a citizen of thin Commonwealth,
and of this county, has been suddenly arrested at
his residence in this city, and has been forcibly car
ried, against his will, beyond the limits of this State
and the jurisdiction of this court.
Such evfnts have heretofore taken place, but as
we have been anxious to support the United States
Goverr ment in every way compatible with a proper
discharge of our duty, we were not; inclined to be
lieve that those in authority would attempt to exer
cise a•power under all circumstances questionable
and delicate, when temporary excitement had given
way to reason, and a patriotic and I believe an ho
nest desire to do a great public duty had resolved
itself into a settled purpose to discharge that duty
according to law, and with at least a decent respect
for the laws of this Commonwealth and for the con
stituted authorities of the State.
Tne time has arrived when we can no longer hold
our peace, when the obligations imposed upon us
by our oaths of office compel us at every hazard to
direct the Grand Jury to inquire into and determine
by whose order and by what persons this arrest has
been made; and if, after an impartial examination,
it khan appear that any citizen has been forcibly ab
ducted from the county, to inform the Grand Jury
that it is their duty to present the facts in the case to
the court where bills of indictment may be framed,
and the accused persons, if they have committed a
crime be tiled, and it guilty be punished for what in
that event may become a criminal act.
By the Constitution of the United States, Art, 'yr.
of the Amendments,."ln all Criminal prosecutions,
the accused Shall ejoy the right to a speedy and
public trial by an impartial jury of the State atul dis
trict wherein the clime shall have been committed,
which district shall have been previously ascer
tained bylaw; and to be informed of the nature and
cause' of the accusation, to be confronted with the
witnesses against him, to have compulsory process
to obtain witnesses in his favor, and to have the aa
sistance of counsel for his defence."
The Constitution of this Commonwealth contains
the came provision, Sec. IX. of the Declaration of
Rights, with this addition: "nor ran he be deprived
of his lire ) liberty, or property, unless by the judg
ment of his peers,. Or the laW of the land.
These inestimable rights are thus guarantied to
every citizen ty the Constitution, not only of Penn
sylvania but also by The Constitution of the, United
Slates.
You will see, gentlemen, that the Federal and
State Governments provided for the trial of those
charged with having committed offences against
either but the framers of these Constitutions in
tended that the citizen should not be arrested with
out having an opportunity to defend hithself.
it may be supposed by some that the offence of
treason cannot be punished under the Constitution
of the United States except by the excreta. of military
power. Such, however, is not the case, and that man
is not only ignorant of the law, but must be inten
tionally so, for the Constitution of the United States
• expressly declares : Article 111, section 3, That
"'beacon against the United States shall consist
only in levying war against them or in adhering to
their enemies, giving them aid and comfort ;no per
son shall be convicted of treason unless on the testi
mony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on
confession in open court." And many acts of Con
gress, now in force, declare before what tribunal, and'
in what manner such cases shall be tried,
The Legislature of Pennsylvania has also passed
a law which declares it to be a high misdemeanor
for tiny citizen to aid or assist " any .enemy in open
war against this State or the United States" in the
manner mentioned In the act; the offence,lf com
mitted, may moreover be punished "by solitary im
prisonment in the penitentiary, at hard labor, for a
term not exceeding ten years. and be fined in a Burn
not exceeding five thousand dollars, or both; at
the discretion of the court." Act of 18th April,
181;1;P. L., page 408.
You will thus observe that, under the Constitu
tion and laws of the United States and of this'State,
a man who is in point of law a traitor, or who aids
in any niatelial way the enemy, may be , pu6ished ;
and that with great severity, and he ought thus to
sutler. Laws, then, exist which protect the Govern
al L'i 7 11.IDAY, - 4ANUARY 30. 1863.
189
merit of the State, and of the nation aatnst thef
forts of those who Attempt to destroy either. These
laws, are amply sufficient to. protect our nation' and
State, unless it may be within the limits, and in the
immediate vicinity of an army upon the field, and
advancing,. or about to advance, against a hostile
force, and in an enemy's country. Then add in that
extreme case necessity takes the place of settled,
well-defined law, and the will of the commander be
comes the rule of action.
As laws then do exist, as the tribunals of the
United States Government and the State are open,
as magistrates abound at any corner of the' streets
and are known to be loyal men—as peace reigns in
this county and no impending danger destroys the
authbtity of:law as duly administereil by the State
courts and lays its power in the dust, by what right
or pretended right can the persons making this ar
restjustify it t Certainly not upon the ground of ne
cessity, for no necessity exists, and certainly not
upon 'a pretended Executive power, for it will be,
it must be admitted that that power can only exist
'when the law is silent, and we have distinctly shown
that by ; the Constitution of the United States,"and
the law of this State, the Government is already se
eured, at least in this court, against the designs of
those who may attempt by any method to destroy it.
But, aside from all this, the Constitution of :the
United States declares in Article X. or the: amend
ments that "the powers not delegated to the. United
States by the Constitution nor prohibited - by it to
the States, are resatiest to the Slates rcspcclively, or to
the people.
The Supreme Court of this State halve decided, 5
H. 119, that this Constitution must receive' a strict
construction ; and, viewing this pection in this light,
I ask, did the people of. this CattnOnwealth, when
they entered into the Union; ever agree to devolve
'upon either the President' of the Unitedd-Statcs„
Congress, or the Judiciary, or three combined,
-the power to suspend .the privilege of the writ of
habeas corpus In a State or district when the "putt,
lic safely did lint roriire.i(. 7, True, it may be the
duty of some department of the Government to
'ludge of the necessity , and to suspend the privilege
n a given caw, but public sentiment demands that, •
in any event, the spirit of the Constitution shall be
complied-with; and when the power is claimed by
a single individual, the people have at least 'the
rightto know who made the arrest, by what au
thority it was made, or what charge was, or now is,
weferred against the accused. It in -the case soon
.to be examined by you, you discover that the arrest
was ordered by authority of the laws of the United
States, and commonly called-the • •‘!military" as
distinguished from the "martial law," you will
stale that fact, because it may possibly be that
Congress has enacted such laws as they. may by vir
tue of the Constitution legally enact, and which, as
they affect the government ofthe'army of the United
States, may be constitutional anal legal when ap
plied to thote - who are amenable •to that particular
code of laws. •
Gxx'rte.sisx : I have alone taken the responsi
bility of addressing you to-day. It has not been
done without serious reflection. Prom the corn
mencement of the rebellion, I have endeavored, in
every possible legal method, to support the consti
tuted:authorities. Time and again, questions of
great - delicacy, and which seemed to threaten a col
lision between the United States authorities and
this court, have been disposed of in such a way as
not to embarrass the General Government, while
the rights of the citizen have been protected. We
have even failed 'to. notice the fact officially that'
arbitrary arrests have been made in thirr_county,
because, as we have before intiinatedrwe had hoped
that they would cease. ' That hope hits been 4e
stroyed.
A legal and moral necessity urges us to this step,
not to countenance any sot committed by any man
against the authority of the General Government,
but to .sustain . a right as clear as the noonday sun,
as vital as liffs giving breath, without the existence
of which the Government itself is, a stupendous de
ception, and which, if firmly maintained now and
here, will go far to unite a people of immense fe
sources, and which power can yet be wielded as a
unit, when and as soon as the consiitutional rights
of each citizen shall be respected and enforced.
I have now discharged a great public duty, with
no desire to do otherwise than to support the United
States Government, and I sincerely believe that the
result will be to strengthen, and not to weaken that
Union which ought to be_perpetuated to the latest
generation.
I request you at once to suspend all other business
before you at present, and instruct the District At
torney of this county to send for Geri. Montgomery
and the Provost Marshal, together with% all other
persons who have any knowledge of this transac
tion, and, after you shall have heard them your
duty will be simply to present the facts to the Court.
The grand Jury then retired, and the busineis of
the Court commenced.
Convicted of Maintaining a Nuisance.
The jury in the case.of frasker and °lark, charged
with maintaining a nuisance in their factory at

ACTION FOR GOODS SOLD AND DELIVERED.
'Evan Morris, trading . as E. Morris & Co., vs.
Catharine O'Byrne. An Wien on a book account,
for goods sold and delivered. The defence set up was
that the defendant had drawn a draft on a party in
Richmond, Virginia, previous to the breaking out of
the rebellion, which was accepted by him and taken
by the plaintiffs in actual payment of his bill; that
subsequently ,when the troubles broke out,' th e pla In
tiE was unable to communicate-with the acceptor of
the draft, and it was not paid, but no notice of non
payment was ever given to defendant. Judge Sherri
wood held that the court was bound to take judicial
notice of the condition of the country and of the fin
possibility of communicating with the acceptors, and
he could not, Therefore, hold the plaintiff to the
strict rule as to notice of non-payment; and, further,
as the defendant was a party to the draft, the taking
of it as payment did not release her from liability.
The jury were instructed to find for the plaintiff; and
accordingly, returned a verdict for him for $109.39.

ACTION FOR DA3rAGES.

Thii was an action - to recoVer:dantages for injuries
done to the hose house of the company, by reason of a
.defectively constructed privy well on the adjoining
• premises,.owned by defendant.- When the founda
tion of the hose house was being laid this well gave
Way, and its contents ran into the cellar, and the
plaintiffs were obliged to dig a trench for its removal.
It is alleged that when the well was repaired by the
plaintiff; the repairs were done in such an unskilful
and careless manner, that the filth was continually
'escaping through into the cellar of ;the hose house,
';rendering the house almost uninhabitable to the
„members of the company. Complaint was made to
- theßoard of Wealth, and the nuisance abated; but
:for damages then already sustained, this action was
instituted.
At the outset .of the plaintiff's case, one of the
members of the' company, who was engaged in the
construction, of the building, was called to prove
the facts set' forth in our narrative ' but the de
fence objected to his competency, on the ground of
interest in the result, but Judge.Sharewood over
ruled the objection; saYing that the Hpie Company
was a charity, .and, as in the case of other charities,

THE P:0 LI dE.
(Mora Mr. Alderman Battler.)
Alleged Arson..:
• Daniel Donati the . proprietor , of a shoe store on .
Second street, near Callqwhill„ was Arraigned yester
i day afternoon, at the,Clisd Station, on the charge
8 - s
of arson, in settlue fi re to .111 time, on Wednesday
• night, between ten and • eleVen o'clock. This is a
somewhat singular ease, in one or two aspects. The
defendant is a person rather beyond the middle-age
'of life, and has kept the store about three months.
He was represented by Mr. Wm. M. Dull. The fol
lowing , evidence was elicited : • Peter Getzler,
.who resides next door to the store of the defend
ant, was attracted by some smoke, between
ten and eleven o'clock on Wednesday night ; ,he
made a long search about his owu premise;
and found no fire ; the wall of hie room seemed to
grow unusually warm; on going to • the flat on the
.top of his house he discovered the fire burning in the
store next door; the alarm was given, and the
flame; before they-had- obtained much headway,
were extinguished. On making an examination of
the condition of the store, the witness found several
boxes, containing oakshavings -and also a small
bottle, containing camphene or tinning fluid. This
was on a shelf , and had apiece otborir it,.
with a piece of twine saturated-with thi combusti
ble material leading to the.floor.
D. B. Slifer testified that he west ;into 'the .store,
and helped to extinguish the fire • did not observe
anything peculiar about the fire ; there was a lot of
waste paper, and other rubbish under the counter ;
there was but little tire in the stove; the draft of it
was closed, and the door open; there was scarcely
enough fire in the stove to emit a spark that would
set ftre to anything &few feet off; the fire could not
have originated from the stove ; the burning mate
rial was several feet from it.
Sergeant George Dietz testified that he and Offi
cer Kee were standing at the corner of - Sebeind' and
Callowhill streets; sawlthe defendant anqanother
gentleman come out of the store; as 'they were pass
ing by heard the defendant say "'what the - head ;or
gets the heels must attend to;". he ;turned . ' back,
went into' the store- but came out an. a few ' minutes
and went away .
This witness gave,a description of
the condition of .the store shortly after,the'llre, but
detailed no new facts. • 4, •

replied, Where did you get thatl the defendant made
no. particular reply ; there was itTharrel - or box of

bottle and the twine. On reaching the Central Sta
tion the fire marshal had an interview with tile de
fendant. The latter explained that the reason he
went back to the store on Wednesday night was for
the Purpose of opening the stove door, and thatwhen
he left, the place was perfectly safe. He admitted
having a bottle of camphene sometimes about the
store, whieh he used in cleansing some of.the , work.
be made up. The fire marshal asked hint if
he had such an article about the gitore on Wednes
day night. He replied, no:; he denied alb know
ledge of it. The fire marshal then told him. of the
discovery that had been made, and the defendant
still made the most positive denial. He had no
other statement to make. The books and accounts
of the defendant were examined, from which it
seems the defendant went into business about
three months since ; had a stock then worth about,
five hundred dollars ; it is now much reduced. The
owner of the stock was a Mr. Davis ; the defendant
was acting in the capacity 'of,tin - . agent for him,

as to afford an effective antidote for diseases Sarsaparilla
is reputed to cure.• • Such a remedy is saely wanted by
those who suffer from Struznous complaints, and that
one which will accomplish their care must prove of im
mense service to, this large class of our afflicted fellow
citizens. Row completely this compound will do it has
been proven by experiment on many of the worst cases
to be found in the following complaints

FIRE, 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 •cati,-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 notated. channels of the
body by an alterative medicine.. Cleanse out the vitia-
ted 'blood whenever you, dud 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 foal, and your feelings
Will tell you -when. Even where no 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 is justly despised,
and has become synonymous with imposition and cheat.
Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend to
Supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the
load of obloquy which rests upon IL Aud we think we
have ground for believing it has virtues which are irre
sistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intended
to cure.

The object of the following certificates is to show that
- cures at 1220 WALNUT Street are permanent- and re
liable. The first cure was performed nearly three years
ago, the second was performed nearly one year ago, the
third about one year, and hundreds mdre of like cases
Might be shown.
• READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY.
About "twelve months ago I bad 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,
sesich seemed like a trance. The mucous surface of my
mouth and throat had become so parched and feverish,
oat 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 d was scarcely
able to move about. I bad availed myself of the science
and skill of distinguished medical men, both of the Allo
pathic and Homceopathic 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 Bolles in the
use o f 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 Diabetes 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 further state that I have seers other remark
able cures performed by Prof. Bolles, and would advise
the diseased to call at 1220 Wal ant street, and be restored
to health. I shall be glad to give any one information
calling on me. THOMAS HARROP

Philadelphia, May Ist, 1860.
Read the following from a, preacher of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, No- 1033 Helmuth street, Philadel
phia:
In attempting a definition of my disease, I can only
give some of the many symptoms which, taken altoges
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 was cured, lo
cated my disease in the pelvic viscera, in five minutes
after I entered hie 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% 1220 Walnut street, Philadelphia, 1 am
perfectly cured ; and to me this is most astonishing, for I
had exhausted the catalogue of old-school remedies, and
grevi 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.

wasting of the 'tissues of the whole body ; at times s
difficulty of breathing, some palpitation of the lissirt.

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 BOLLES to Ithe
aftlicted'of all - classes. There seems to be no guesswork,
no confusion no matter of doubt in his treatment. He
Proceeds on axed principles, and according to fixed laws,
which seem to me infallible and harmonious. He-war

and acute cases, and charges nothing, if he fails. I ad

ANOTHER CURE OF PARALYSIS oP THE LOWER
LIMBS (Paraplegia) AND APOPLEXY COMBINED.
Read the following:
PAILADELPHai, March 31,1862.
PR:0148801i BOLLES, 1= Wai not 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 you for snatching me, as
it were, from Immediate death. About two years ago,
while a resident of Cincinnati, Ohio, I was visited witn
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 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 upon . rely 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 lam re- -
stored to a sound condition, and • thefore feel it nirduty
to gratefully acknowledge the benefits which I have re
ceived through your treatment.
Very respectfully yours, &c.

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•
