A Protcst, from Democratic Members.
Mr. BitKiHYLY.pj evented a protest from the Democratic
members against the action of the. Chamber, at the last
jnretlng, in the ca*B of Mr. Miller.
Mr. Cathehwood objeetod to the protest. It purports
to from the Democrat c members. He con
sidered bim&elf as Rood a Democrat as any one here,and
his name was not appended to it.
The protest was read. It charges that, the action was
illegal, and ie signed by Mr. Brightly and most of the
Democrats.
Mr. Cathriovood said that there was one man whose
name is signed to that paper who was not elected as a
Democrat. He considered himself as good a Democrat as
any-member of the Chamber, and * man who could not
be bought or sold as some parties in this Chamber. He
thought that the protest was an insuU to the gentlemen
who eit in this chamber, aud should be kicked out of
the window. ± •
Dr. Uuiißß objected to the protest because it charged
that the members woo voted upon the resolution last
meeting bad voted against law.; He considered that
himselr or colleagues, both in committee and the Cham
ber. had voted fairly as could be in law and order.
Mr, Kino considered.it unusual to object to a p»ote3t.
Mr. Catherwood explained that he objected because
the paper showed itself a falsity upon its facu.
Mr. Kino said that the protest was not disrespectful.
Mr. Ca.THBRWOOD, , (iut rupting.) It was in sin
and conceived Ininiquity, and you kaow that it was. ‘
Mr. McElroy said that be signed the protest b-cause
he considered that the commit'ee bad been treated b*dly.
Th*. President remarked that the paper did not show
on its face that it was a protest from Democratic mem
‘ kers, and-it did not appear to bo disrespectful He
bought that it was out of order, at this time. It should
be oflered before the business to which dt refers is -dis
posed of.
Mr. Brightly said that he had ’presented the paper a®
he bad been requested, as a protest of the Democratic
members.
• Mr. Cathkrwoop. Does the gentlemen consider him
self a Democratic member?
Mr. Brightly. 1 don't intend to answer the ques
tion.
Mr. Oath brwoOd No ! you are afraid to answer.
Mr. Brightly. Wo ;I am not afraid to do anything.
Mr. UHI.EU. That’s so.
Mr.: Bru- htly then said the protest was respectful, and
was i ot intended to be offensive to auynody.
Mr. Miller did not consider theprotest respectful. It
sought to introduce words which were offensive while
appearing respectful.

Mr.• Wolbkkt (Highways) reported an ordinance ap
propriating the sum of 4M0.0U0 for repairs to bridges at
JSllwood Lane, Harnson street. Mill creek, Allegheny
avenue, t nd other place’s in the rural section.
Mr. Quin remarkedthat already $15,000 had been ap
propriated for this purpose, andit.yet remains in the
treasury. He thouglittt was very singular indeed that
such an application should be made at the present time
He considered It unfair, nujuat, unusual, and unparlia
mentary to a»k for it.
Mb. Wolbert eaid it gave him pleasure to reply to
the gentleman from the Third. The fault is with him;
he is determined to oppose anything that comes from the
Highway Department. .This application is made by
twelveintelligent gentlemen, representing both branches
of Councils, and die hoped that the whole body will
stand-by. that intelligence, and hot be misled by the
gentleman, who has made up his mind to object to every
subject reported by; the Highway Committee.
Mr. Bakoersetlorth'at some length, thatthemoney
asked for was for the repairs to' bridges that have been
swevt away by recent freshets, r
Mr. Harper said bethought these items ought to be
Itemized. It appeared to him that we are expending an
enoimous amount of money. Will the chairman of the
Highway Committee state the amount of deficiency ?
Mr. hAiuiEit here said the present committee is not re
sponsible for the notion of the last committee.
Mr. Harper How much was the deficiency?
Mr. Woi-BKRT. Jt was pretty heavy.
Mr. Kerr (President.) Over 450.000.
Mr. Harper. This, Sir, is enormous. Where is it going
to stop? What safeguard is there that there will not be
a deficiency of a hundred, thousand dollars for the pre
sent 5 ear - The present application is made for repairs
to abridge injured last September. This, Bir was known
when the annual appropriation bill was up for conside
ration. Why was it not then included? or was it inciu-'
ded?, These are questions he would like to hear ex
plained.
Mr liOUGHT.iX alluded to’the appropriations made last
year, bui did hot clearly state-the reason of the defi
ciency.
Mr. Wolhert merdly said he hoped the bill would pass.
He did not elucidate, the reason of the last year's defi
ciency. >
Mr. Cresswell .said he would, like to know what be
came of the money expended last year. Let us have the
itemF, when, how, and by whom expended. Inorderto
•have some understanding on this subi-ct, he would move
a postponement of the present bill .
Mr. Leigh said that the .people made a inistake.last
electing Democrats in this Chamber, add this
year the supreme Court made the same deplorable mis
take; wears, therefore, compelled, of Course, to transact
the business of the city with just such material as the
I *? ,v «.P ent u f; The speaker now entered into a.'
oa.U'S.snbject of appropriations to the
£sFi a jL Ill nFivt ll^?*so^ 1:e V B . nowa deffuienCT, or soon
will ho, of at loast $52,000. If this is simply through ig- ■
norance, it is not our fault.
. The debate was further ; continued, and finally it be-
quite animated between Mesa™. Quin, Wolbert,
and Barger, m which the former, in allnithg to the
chairman ot the Highway Committee, said that lie was
so systematically stupid, so invincibly Unorant, that lie
is beneath contempt. So far as Mr. Barger is concerned
he would say that he is boreftof hisjndgment, iiavtng
recently come from Bedlam/ that lie knows not what hB
says: he is, therefore, unaccountable, and anything he
says here should have no weight with aavbody.
: Mr.; Barger replied, with much warmth, and said that
wearo'now «.rlveuto ask for the appropriation bee une
of the mftl-admtutstratlbn of the gentleman from the
Third ward last year. He finds now that he cannot
rule the rojst, therefore he wants to ruin all. How it Is
time to take the bull by the horns and put him iuto his
proper position. ....
Mr. Quin, desired to make a few remarks. He said
that the gentlsniau from the Second ward bad jnstonnio
from the legislature, and is perfects ignorant of the
affairs of the city. He comes bore puffed np with gas.'
and explodes libo a punc ured There was no
on his part last year. He was en
tirely too honest for the committee, who to legis
late for brothers, sisters, mothers, and relations, thus
making money out of the city.
The motion to indefinitelypostpone was lost—yoas 8,
" /he ordinance first reading under a c*U for the
prfviouf question, and Was finally adopted by a vote of
31 ayes, 11 nays.
.MUltia Enrollment.
Mr. Leech presented a bill in place, making au appro
priation of $12,000 to tbe City Commissioners to pay the
assessors tor making the militia enrollments An at
tempt made to postpone, afterwhich the bill was passed
unanimously.
Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
Mr. .tocc/BLix* offered a resolution requesting the city
directors ofthe Pennsylvania Railroad Company. l"o fur
nish theamount of stock subscribed by that company to
other corporationn, the amount of said subscription, and
wbatamonnt of bonds, if any. and .what corporation
the railroad company have endorsed.
Mr. Crksswkll moved an indefinite postponement.
Mr. Leech said that he hoped the resolution would
not pass. ‘ .
Mr. Patxtkr said ho hoped it would pass, as that com
pany controls th° State Legislature.
Mr. Quin paid, he was surprised that his Dftmocrat'c
friend of the Twenty-fourth closed his eves against in
formation. If it is offered to harass the company he
would oppose it. '
Mr. Louqhlin-said it was not designed to annoy the
company.
The motion to postpone was agreed to—yeas 25,
nays 12. .
Fire Department*
The Mayor sent in a veto message.in regard to the bill
locating additional steam fire-engines. . The chief paints
ofthe objection entertained by bis Honor are as follows:
The ordinance of February 21st, 1859. locating sixteen
companies, met wPh the ready approval of the Mayor.
The selection of the companies.may have been made
without discrimination, and but little attention was
paid: to the apportionment of them in the various dis
tricts. Tbe Mayor thinks that tbe present force is abun
dantly able to fulfil all requirements. The Mayor also
entertains the oft-repeated views of others, that tbe effi
ciency ofthe steamers does not depend on their nearness
to fires, steam being generated while the engines are
proceeding to the fires. The subject of tbe expenses de
mands consideration. If the seven new engines are ac
cepted the expense will be $87,705.34 of which S6'VU6 67
will be used for tbe maintenance of34engines. The cost
of the department in 1864, if others than the companies
now proposed shall be admitted, will amount to $91.-
725. An est'mnte, based upon a careful inquiry, will
show that $30,000 would amply defray the expanses of a
Fire Brigade, to be incorporated with the police force.
T>*e Mayor caDs attention that within a few years a re
sponsible association had offered, for the annual sum of
$60,000. to maintain an efficient organization for the ex
tinguishment of all fires within the limit* of the city.
The bill is objectionable, like all the others on the same
subject,locating in one enactment several companies. It
is impossible that the respective merits of these compa
nies should equally commend them to the intelligence of
those who represent the whole community, and hence
there maybe members of Councils who feel themselves
precluded from voting in favor of a particular company
deemed by them essential to the general good, because
they cannot do so without sanctioning the location of
numerous other companies which they know are not
needed for the public welfare, and which mu9t add to its
onerous taxation. ‘
The veto message having been read, the question was
stated asfollows: ;
“Shall the bill pass, notwithstanding the veto of the
Mayor?”
Ayes 34, nays 4 ' . *
Ac this stage of tbe proceedings the gallery, that up to
the present time was crammed to overflowing, speedily
became vacated-
Lombard and South-street Railway.
Tbe bill authorizing tlie laying of the'track of this
company was called up.
Mr. LocoHLiN moved a reference to the Committee on
Railroads..
Mr. Lf.tgh moved tO'l*y this motion on the table.
Agreed to.
Mr.-Lv.KiH called the previous question. Sustained.
The bill then passed.
Diplomas* "
Tbe bill making an appropriation to the School Con
trollers for a diploma plate was called up.' It was passed.
Shop Soldiers* Home*
The bill from the Select the pub
lic property at Crown and Race streets to the use of the.
.Cooper-Shop Soldiers’ Home was called up by Mr. Paul.
It was passed without opposition.
Logan- Lquare Deer*
Mr, Paul called up tbe bill providing for the reduc
tion of tbe number of deer to , twenty in Logan
Square.
Mr. Locghlijt moved a postponement, that some ar
rangement may be made te introduce some of tbe deer
into a square down town.
Mr. Paul said that these deer cost $1 500 to feed them:
their numbershould be reduced, Why should we feed
so many feer inside, when dear outside have to feed
themselves? [Buzz of laughter,]
Mr. Kfrr. If you fumd any of them down town,
: thsy’ll multiply faster than ever. [More laughter.]
Mr. Leigh said these deer are very dear indeed. It
cost tbe city $1,200 a few years ago because a buck in
jured e female.
Mr. Kerr. That fellow ougbt tohave been sent to the
penitentiary. [Roars of laughter.]
Mr. Harper proposed an amendment, providing that
all but iwenty deer shall be sold at public auction,
This amendment was agreed to- and the bill ua*sed.
A call of the house was now ordered; no quorum an
swering, the Council adjourned

(Before. Mr. Alderman Beitler.}
The Five-Guilder Note Counterfeit*
."William Boell was arraigned before Alderman Beitler,
at tbe Central Station, on a second hearing on the charge
of conspiracy in printing the five-guilder bogus notes.
Joshua Tageart, detective, testified, as to the arrest of
Mr. Boell. tbe recovery of a considerable number of the
counterfeit notes, and one of the plates used in the print
ing of them. .
Mr. Kelso, detective of New York, testified thatron
Monday last some of the notes were offered in New York
and their counterfeit character was detected; he pro
ceeded to the broker’s office where the notes were offered
and took into custody a young man, who said that he
obtained them bom his uncle, william Boeli, residing
at Philadelphia; he gave the information that the
notes were kept in the third-story room of his uncle’s
residence; Detective Kelso came on to Philadelphia
and proceeded to the house; the lady refused to give
♦he key ofthe room wherethe trunk was; be got through
the window, seized the contents of the trunk, and had to
force the door open to get out.
Mr. Miller testified that he printed the notes for Mr,
Boell about eight months since; had seen Mr. Herbert,
ciga*roaker, about the places he thought they were being
printed for cigar labels; I printed ten thousand of them—
may be a few more; used three stones in the printing of
them; I never saw a genuine five-guilder note: did not
know these were counterfeits; understood a card was to
be put into each box of cigars ; I did UQt put the stamp
Upon them; (stamp mark shown;):this was'put on after
Iprinted them; the words ‘‘five* guilder note” were put
on after I printed them; don’t know by whom. „
Frederick Steefsworn.—Knew Herbert, for whom the
hills were printed; bought 6,000 from him; he said he
bad received them as a legacy from relatives 1 in Ger
many; in cashing them he entered security; the notes
were sent to Germany, and word came hack they were
good; the security was then released; it was not until
after the eecurity was thus released, that the bogus cha
racter ofthe notes was made knoun; a New York house
also lost by the same kind of a transection,
• Herbert is among the missing. We understand that
upward of $50,000 of this worthless trash was disposed
Or-*probably more.'
- The defendant was required to enter hail to await an
other hearing. A five-guilder note is worth about two
dollars; therefore the loss sustained by Mr. Stecf is
about three thousand dollars.
Alleged Hotel Thief.
charge of larceny. A coat, which he ltaa pawned with
Mr. P. R. Hyde on December 9th, was recovered by De
tective Levy and identified by Mr.: Ward as the property
of his nephew. It was stolen on the 4th of last Decem
- Jdeuttfied. his coat, that was stolen
and traced
. Tbe accused was
s?,roo to answer. ' v >
We may state that the defendant looks very much like
ahotel thief that was arrested some T eight years since,
for lifting coats-at the Girard House. At that time he
went by the name ofHoratio Davis, alias Jerome Byron.
When accosted by the old detective, George Callanan,
he replied,-pettishly, don’t call me Jerome, you’re mis
taken in your man.. The detective is not often mistaken
in such matters.
Arrested on Suspicion.
Thomas Todd, alias Thomas Wilson, and William
Smith, Were arraigned on suspicion of being thieves.
Detective Lamon testified that he had “piped” the de
fendants from one store to another, flour, dry goods, and
clothing stores, and came to the conclusion they were
sighting off these planes. T'idd was arrested, a short
time since at the St Louis Hotel, under Mispicious cir
cumstancefl, but has never been tried. There was no-,
thing positive against them in the present case, yet there
was sufficient suspicion entertained by Alderman Beitler
to require them to enter bail in the sum of $l,OOO to be of
future grod behavior. The magistrate, in coming, to
this conclusion, said to the prisoners that if they w.ere
a gain brought before him. under similar circumstances,
he would impose the penalty of the ninety-day law
upon them.
[Before Mr. Alderman Williams.]
Larceny,
Miehaei Tracy was arraigned yesterday on the charge
ofthe larceny often pairs of shoes. He had taken them
out to mak e up, but did not return them. He was com
mitted to answer.

Yesterday one of the jurors asked and obtained leave

of the District Attorney of the day before, that the Com
monwealth do not deem it safe to try any white man for
murder before the present panel.
He said he had been summoned to serve as a juror in

sworn to try the cases, and to render a verdict according
to'the evidence; that in the conclusions arrived at be
had totally uninfluenced by fear, favor, or affec
tion,.and had throughout had in view only a conscien
cious discharge of his dutywhich he had sworn to per
form-' So far as he was concerned, he would, as a.iuror,
guard as rigidly the rights of life and liberty of a black
man as be would those of a white man, for they were as
dear to one as the other. Having said so much for him
self, he would say for. his associates on both'juries. he
was satisfied they had only had throughout a conci

pURIFT THE BLOOD.- NOT A FEW
A of the worst disorders that afiUct mankind arise from
the corruption that accumulates in the blood. Of all the
discoveries that have be n made to purge it out, none
have been found which could equal in effect AYER’S
COMPOUND EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA. It
cleanses and renovates the blood, instils the vigor ot
health into the system, and purges out the humors whioh
make disease. It stimulates the healthy functions of
the body, and expels the disorders that grow and rankle
in the blood. Its extraordinary virtues are not yet wide
ly known, but when they are, it will no longer be a
question wh *t remedy to employ in the great variety of
afflicting diseases that require an alterative remedy.
Such a remedy, that could be relied on, has long been
sought for, ana now, for the first time, the public have
one on which they can depend. Oar space here does not
admit certificates to show its effects, but the trial of a
single bottle will show to the sick that it has virtues sur
passing anything they have ever taken. Sufferers from
Scrofula, Scrofulous SweUings and Sores, try it and see
the rapidity with which it cures. . Skin Diseases* Pfm

WONDEBFUL DISCOVERY AND
Ty WONDERFOT. RESULTS ACCOMPLISHED BY
PROF. C. H. BOLLES, l»aO WALNUT Street.—The
difference between fact and fictions* of permanently
curing the suffering of their disease* and advertising to
cure, and showing ho better evidence than offering re
ference of some persons in far-off localities, can well be
appreciated by anxious seekers after health, upon atten
tively reading the following certificates of cases -from
some of the most reliable gentlemen of Philadelphia, who
were permanently cured by Prof. C. H. BOLLES, of
1330 WALNUT street.
Facts are st übborn things, and as. evidence is required
for the establishment of all faota admitting ofthe least
doubt, and :as the astonishing- cares perfored by Prot
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'someinthiscity'whohavetbe auda
city to claim to treat according to Prof BOLLES’dis
covery, and thepe same persons are really ignorant of the
Positive or Negative Poles of any Electrical Machines,
and therefore, Prof. BOLLES haß cautioned the sick
against trusting their health in such reckless hands.
Read the following certificates of cures of most obsti
nate diseases by Prof . Belles, 1330 ' Walnut street*
Philadelphia. *
The first cure teas,performed three yearsago , and
continues well to this date : -
Abont nine years ago I had a severe attack of dyspeptio
symptoms, which increased on me during the whole
time, and I supposed, 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 when I ate often. Sometimes, however,
I experienced loss of appetite, very disagreeable nausea
in the stomach, pain in the epigastrum, 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 mouth. When the sense of hunger came
on as above described, I had a sense of fluttering
about the chest, and a sinking faint-feeling at the
sit5 it of the stomach, which was, in my first attacks, re
eved only by taking food, and many, tiroes inmy 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 no der; the best modi
cal treatment in the city. However, mv physician at
last pronounced my disease cancer in the stomach. i
continued to be treated for what I was informed to be
a cancer up to. the time that. Professorßolles came to
this city and advertised his important discovery in the
application of Galvanism and other modifications of
Electricity, for the cure of (as he announced) acute and
chronic diseases, and more especially cancers,:, tumors,
white swelling, &c. . I immediately called on Prof.
Bolles, at 1220 Walnut street, for advice in my case. I
will here state that I considered my 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 da? 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.
lam certain Of a permanent cure from the fact that
about two years have elapsed since my cure, and T have
had no symptoms of return. I think Professor Bolles
has made a very important discovery in the application
ofElectricity for the certain cuTe of acute and chronic
diseases, know of a great number of persons whom he
hascured ofthe mostobsticate diseases, both acute and
chronic. I have watched his success for more than two
years, and take pleasure in recommending his scientific
discovery to suffering humanity, I shall take pleasur
in being referred to by the diseased. ' - •_

The following wonderful cure of Epilepsy was per
formed more than'eight months ago and remains well
to this date.
Read thefollowing 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. H. 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 had been severely afflicted with Epileptic
Fits of the most obdurate character, and had abandoned
all hopes of ever being cured. aB I had for years tried
the treatment and received the counsel of tne most emi
nent'Medical Men of the States, with the view of obtain
ing relief if any could be found among' the Old Schools;
but all my, efforts were unavailing, and, 1 therefor alj _
months ago .my mind was turned }
to investigate the new discovery of Prof. C. H. Boi
les, 1220 Walnut street, and, after noticing several
certificates of cures which were published, and some
from persons with whom I was acquainted, and
knew them to be reliable men, I was ; induced to
call on the Professor, and obtain his opinion of my case.
After he had examined me about ten minutes, he frankly
Informed me that he could cure 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 thoje suffering as Iwas, that lam per
fectly cured.l farther would state that more than four
months have elapsed sincemy cure, 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
anyone suffering aB Iwas, and any information of my
condition previous to mV cure will be freely given to any
one at 154% North THIRTEENTH
N. B.—Professor C. H. BOLLES wilk publish, from
time to tirae,certificates of the cure of chronic cases’which
had resisted the treatment of the most eminent medical
men for years.

TXODGSON’S CHEMICAL BLUE
XI 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 any ink in
het American market. Its advantages are, that it is per
fectly limpid, writing blue and soon changing to pure
black—not clogging the 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.
