The Chain be,' resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole, Mr. Davis in the chair. • The hilt was read by the clerk. Mr; lininrrrr.v moved to strike out the words " for the purpose of providing for the maturing lean. After tome little thecae:don a vote was taken on the amendment. when it tratt.lost. Mr. WErituamt. meld: The Pennsylvania Railroad Company; by blotter of this morning, do not desire any change mule in the ordinance, and they thereby will not only hold the Iwo per cent. dividend yearly, but also can retain the interel4 ou the amount about which the ordinance says nothing, and can be retained or not, as they sec fit. This alone in ten years would amount to about tMOO,OOO, and with the principal would amount to SI4OO,CCO. That De profit can accrue for a long time is evident from the fart that by a supplement to their char ter approved in Mal, all the profits of the tine must be Jaye& ted until they hod insane sufficient to build an -other steamship, and so go on until the number reaches eight. With this prospect before the stockholders, where Is the profit? and if none. Philadelphia must pay the ,dellcleucy. The Pennsylvania Railroad, iu the 'laSt six monthe, earned twelve per cent. on her capital; this will leave, after , paying a four-per-cent: dividend, $1,060,100. 'The &IMO profits wore earned the last six months, so that the last year the sinking fund was in creas.ml $2,000,000. The sinking fond is large, and has been used in paying off mortgages and invested in :real estate. A director of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company stated to me that he honestly believed the stock worth $7O pershare, and he had ne doubt that a largo -stock iliOdend uf, '.ll per cent. would. be declared if this is se.• Whit Willlecome of the city's share? Surely it will go with all overt lia 2 per cent., and will be held by the city for an unlimited time; and the stock divi 'dead ,NV hiclecoay s 01111 t to $2,000,000, will be held by the yallrond in the same manner. The proviso in regard-to no stock being sold until the loan matures will keep the stock from being sold for eighteen years. As the sinking hind redeemed $lOO,OOO per year, all over that will be the amount which we will have to meet, and for the next five years only about $700,000 and in eighteen years the whole amount of stock will not be extended. Mr. lEikuurri.r said, from the vote on his amendment ho Vas convinced that the steamship company had put on steam enough to drive this iniquity through the Cham ber. He contended we lied no right to pass such au or dinance, and the Supreme Court would make no cat our own words. The Supreme Court ha. decided that a municipal cc rporation has no right to tax its citizens for the purpose of assisting a railroad or any improvement company. There never was a time in the history of Pennsylvania in which a municipal corporation had the Power to tax its citizens for-such purposes, unless such power was given by an art of Assembly. He asked whether any of the gentlemen present were prepared to vote away their constituents' money for the benefit of a private corporation? What right have we to take away this fund which we have pledged to our creditors? We are entirely without power to pass this ordinance—we are simply a city government. Mr. h.rice felt he would be derelict in his duty if lie did Tot express his disapprobation °fights bill. He felt there had been extraordinary measures used to pass this bill through the Chamber. Dr. 1./iimut was in favor of the bill. He, for one, would face his constituents, and tell them lie had voted for the bill, as lie found those with whom he was most inti mately connected had subscribed their money to it. If we can;.by this bill, Ulrike Philadelphia superior to New York which he thought we could, ho should vote for the bill. The security he thought was certain. Sup pose we love every dollar, don't we in turn attract busi ness 7 Mr. Annevitexo favored the passage of the bill, and called for the reading of the opinion of the City Solicitor subject. Mr. Mamma' moved that the committee rise, report progress, and ask leave to sit agaid to-day two weeks. This was lest by a vote of 11 to 10. Mr. Miwart opposed the bill at length. Mr."Balcurrrx •mored to amend that the guarantee shall only continuo for five years. Mr, B. could not see what objections the members could have to an around 3nent of this kind. He bad been told that those who fa vored this ordinance would not be forgotten. He feared that improper and extraordinary measures had been used to influence the members. . ..... Mr. Warnatiti.r, said these were serious charges, and he would favor the appointment of a committee of five, to ferret out the parties from whom these offers came. Dr. K./UW.III.Y arose, and said that he intended to vote for the bill because lie believed it was for the benefit of the city. He did not do so from any impure motive. Mr. GRKkilai said he did not believe that any advances had been made - to any or the members present. Be be lieved that if there had, it had been to the ono in whose brain this idea had originated. Mr. 13.111(411 . 1.Y said he did not charge any gentleman en the floor with flay improper act in reference •to the hill. He said extraordinary efforts had been Made to get gentlemen to favor the bill. • The amendment was finally voted down. • Mr.•Sr EttlX(l offered a further amendment, which was Men voted down.

Spencer Miller is not entitled to a seat in this Chamber as member from said ward; that Philip Lowry, Jr., the contestant, has not proved his right thereto; and that the represen tation of said Twenty-fourth ward in this Council is va cant until filled by a new election. The Committee hold that the election was invalid, Mot because there was fraud, but simply from inability . to discover which party has the majority.eg legal votes In the ward." _ • The report is stetted by. Frederick C. Brightly, WIG Barrie, Jr., Peter V. Weaver, and Wm. Baird. Upon the conclusion ok the reading of the repart, Mr. RICHE desired to,preettt a minority report, signed by three of the comellittee. Mr. BRIGHTLV objected. .The Chamber; he contended, had no right to receive a minority report. If they did! .not receive the majority report the Supreme Court, could compel them to do so,— Mr. DAVIS said, in the case of the contest of Williams, 5n 18,58, a report was made which was not acted on, and Councils adjourned_ _There.never was any action taken on the .report; but Mr. Williams resigned, as he was clearly of the opinion that there was fraud in the elec tion.

The fire department of Philadelphia is ono of the beat in the Dillon, and what is more creditable, it is managed with less expense. Mr. Lhinn, in advocating the ordinance, replied to the remarks of Mr. Harper, alleging that the latter's reason for not voting for the ordinance was probably owing to the fact that the Schuylkill Hose wits not among the umber, that company being in his ward.

Yesterday after- Noon the defendant was aYmigned. for a final one. A number of the neighbors had been subpconaed to attend, and there was a prettyeneral response.

HODGSON'S CHEMICAL BLUE BLACK WRITING FLUID, warranted equal to any either American or Foreign; vouched by the Frank lin Institute's Silver Medal, and by the testimony of the first merchants of Philadelphia. • This WRITING FLUID has now won an- established reputation as not being excelled in quality by an ink in the Amerit an market. Its advantages are, that it is per fectly limpid, writing blue and soon changing to pure black—not clogging th'e pen, and remarkably mild on steel pens—not given to mouldiness or decomposition, and though equal in all respects to the best English, yet not much more than half its price. It should, therefore, take the place of all foreign writing fluids. For sale by the manufacturer, . W.

BOLLES, 1220 WALNUT Street. —The difference between fact and fictions, - of permanently curing the 814'ering of their disease, and advertising to cure, and showing no better evidence than offering re ference of some persons in far-off localities, can well, be appreciated by anxious seekers alter health, upon atten tively reading the following certificates of cases from some of the mostreliable gentlemen orPhiladelphia, who were permanently cured by Prof C. H. BOLLES, of 1220 WALNUT Street. • Facts, are stubborn things. and as evidence is required for the establishment of all facts admitting of the least doubt, and as the astonishing cures perfored by Prof. BOLLES are such as no other man has ever performed in this or .any other city, it seems important in the present case to offer some proof by way of certificates from some of the most reliable gentlemen of this city, and more because there are some in this city who have the auda city to claim to treat according to Prof. BOLLES' dis covery, and these same persons are really ignorant of the Positive or Negative Poles of any Electrical Machines, and therefore, Prof BOLLES has cautioned the sick against trusting their health in such reckless hands. Read the following certificates of cures of most obsti nate diseases by Prof. Bolles, 1220 Walnut street Philadelphia. - _ The Ant cure was performed three years ago, and continues well to this date.: • . . About nine years ago I s had a severe attack of dyspeptic symptoms, which, increased on me during. the whole time, and I stppOsed, and also my Physicians that treated me, that -my real disease-was dyspepsia, and - at first was treated for that disease. My symptoms were at first great hunger, and bad and exhausted feeling, in the stomach, only whenl ate often. Sometimes, however, I experienced loss of appetite, very disagreeable nausea in the stomach, pain in the epigaotrnm, heartburn, great fullness about the stomach, and pain through the pyloric; region; a feeling sometimes of great weight in the sto mach, collection of acidity in the stomach, fetid. taste in the month. When the sense of hunger came on as above described, T had a sense of fluttering about the chest, and. a sinking faint-feeling at the pit of the stomach, which was, in my first attacks, re lieved only by taking food, and many times in my walks through, the streets of Philadelphia, when these sinking spells came on, I was obliged. to call at some restaurant and take food, but this only relieved me for the present time, and thus I suffered for years under the best medi cal- treatment in the city. However, my physician at last pronounced my disease cancer in the stomach. I continued to be treated for What I was informed to be a cancer np to the time that Professor Bolles came re this city and advertised his important discovery in the application of Galvanism and other modifications of Electricity. for the mire of (as he announced) acute and chronic diseases, and more especially cancers, tumors, white swel &c. immediately called on Tref. Bolles, at 1220 Walnut street, for advice in my case. I -will har.atate that o,...idered inv case a hopeless one. but notwithstanding this, my . hopes were at once re vived, when Prof. B. frankly told me that he could cure me in a few day s, and I am frank. in saying that in twelve or fourteen treatments I was. perfectly cured. This cure to me looks mysterious, and will ever appear a wonder of wonders, but to Prof. B. all seemed cer tain, as he remarked at the commencement that he knew to a day how long it would take to produce a cure. I am certain of a permanent cure from the fact that about two years have elapsed since my cure, and I have had no symptoms of return. I think Professor 'Bolles has made a very important discovery in the application of Electricity for the certain cure of. acute and chronic diseases, know of a great number of persons whom he has cured of the most obstir ate diseases, both acute and chronic. I harve watched his success for more than two years, and take plea-sure in recommending his scientific discovery to suffering humanity. I shall take pleasnre in being referred to by.the diseased. • . •* H. C. SIII/R.TLEFF, - 3722 M IiRKET Street. The following wonderful cure of Epilepsy was per formed,more than. eight viola/La ago and remains well to (hie dale. . Read the following attentively : The following is a statement of facts in reference to my condition and .astonishing cure of Epilepsy: For five years previous to my knowledge of Professor C. 11, Bolles' discovery of the therapeutic administra tion of Galvanism, Magnetism, and other modifications of, Electricity for the cure of all acute and chronic diseases, I bad been severely afflicted with Epileptic Fits of the most obdurate character, and had abandoned all hopes of ever being cared, as I had for years tried the treatment and received the counsel of the moat emi nent Medical Men of the States, with the view of obtain ing relief if auy could be found among the Old Schools: brit all my efforts were unavailing, and, therefore, all hopes were abandoned, as I then knew of no greater shill for the cure of obstinate cases than in the Oid Schools. About six months ago •my mind was turned to investigate the new 'discovery of Prof. a H. Bol les, 1220 Walnut street, and,. atter noticing several certificates of cores which were published, and some -from persons with whom- I- was acquainted, and knew them to be reliable • roan, I was induced to call on the Professor, and obtain his opinion of my case. After he had examined me about ten minntes,he frankly informed me that he could core me, and offered to give me a written warrantee of a complete cure, and in case of a failure to charge me nothing. This at first seemed an impossibility; but the frankness_ and earnestness of the Professor convinced me of his scientific accuracy in the diagnosis of my case. He disclosed all my sufferings and symptoms for five years past as well as I knew them myself. - I will here state, for the good of humanity, and especially those suffering as I was, that I am per fectly cured. I further would state that more than four months have elapsed since my ,care, and I have had no symptoms, and, therefore,feel confident that I am cured. I shall take pleasure in being referred to.at any time, by any one suffering as I was, and any information of my conditionprevious to my cure willbe freely given to any one at 151.2 North THIRTEENTH Street, philadelphia E. B.—Professor C. H. BOLLES will publish, from time to time,certificates of the cure of chronic casesiwhich had resisted the treatment of the Most eminent medical men for years. . Please take notice that Professor B. does not advertise any. certificates of cures; except those cured in this city. 'See advertisement in another column. Conan/ration Free • -x:wc„ PROF. C. H.
