Tire Ocean Steamship Bill Defeated.
The ocean steamship bill as passed by Common Coun
cil at the last meeting was taken up.
• Mr. Brightly said it was understood that some of the
members of the Chamber were subscribers for the stock
ofthisocean steamship bill, and were therefore not qua
lified to consider its merits, It was the rule in all par
liamentary bodies not to allow any member to vote on a
Question in which he was interested. This is the com
mon law of England, and has been adopted by the House
of Representatives at Washington The Randall Steam
ship Company is the only one in the whole State of Penn
sylvania that has been incorporated, ami he knew that
the bill now before the Chamber related to this company
aud none other.
. The Chair said he could not agree with Mr, B. , as it
■was not for certain known that any (f the members of the
Chamber had subscribed to the stock,
. Hr. Brightly again took the floor. said that the
Mayor had vetoed the other>bill on the ground that it
was unconstitutional and illegal, and the City Solicitor
is of the same opinion. The Supreme Court had decided
that a municipal corporation has no right to become'a
subscriber to a private improvement company. Since
the formor bill was before Councils, he found, in a
aiew volume of opinions from the Supreme Court, just
issued, that it required a special act of legislation before
a municipal corporation could become a stockholder in.
another corporation. Inasmuch as such authoritycan
jiot be given under our Constitution, therefore it is
■utterly impossible to become subscriber to this concern.
The ordinance is clearly illegal, and in direct violation :•
of the Constitution of Pennsylvania.
. A vote was then taken on the bill, and it was defeated
bythe following vote: .
Yeas— Messrs. Catherwood, Greble, Harris, Marcus,
McElroy, Nicholson, Pauilin, Snoring, .Weaver—9.
Nays—Messrs. Armstrong. Baird, Brightly, King,
Manuel, Miller, Eichu, Wetherill, Lynd, (president)—9.
; "When the result of the vote was announced it caused
a great fl utter in the Chamber among the friends of the
bill, as this result was not for a moment expected. An
attempt was made to have the vote taken again, which
proved unsuccessful. When the roll was called several
members refused to answer to their names, and one or
two were absent.

The preamble and resolutions rotative to the death of
Col. George C. Spear were concurred in.
The ordinance for the regulation of signs, awnings
and awning posts was referred to the Commmittee on
Police.
The bill for the repairing of Cuthbert street was con-,
curred in.
Alsotho bill for the paving of Manlielm street; also

Thefollowingmemorial was submitted: .
fTothe Select and Common Couneilofthe City of Phila
delphia; : *
The memorial of the undersigned, presidents of insur
ance companies, and agents of insurance companies doing
business in said city, respectfully represents to your ho
norable bodies that the storing of petroleum, and what
is usually denominated coal oil, within the limits of the
city, Is a matter which, in their opinion, requires the se
lious~consideration -of Councils. The well-known in
flammable character of such oils, and their explosive qua
lities, render-their presence dangerous ih any neighbor
hood- near which tney.may be stored. Your memorial -
ists therefore respectfully suggest the advisability of
enacting an ordinance regulating the storage of petro
leum and coal oil and their products within the city in
such manner as Councils may see fit aud proper. (Then
follow the signatures.)
Veto Messages,
The Mayor returned to Council, without his approval,
the ordinance “authorizing the opening of Wintli street,
.from Snyder street to Buck Fano.” The reason asslgmd
is that the ordinance contemplates that the city shall as
sume the payment out of its treasury Of Whatever dam
ages shall be incurred in consequence of the opening- of
this street,; The act of April 21, IMS, requires that two
thirds oi the members of Councils present at the passage
of the ordinance shall have consented thereto, and that
the yeas aud nays on the passage thereof shall hare been
entered *n the . journal, neither of which requisites has
J.*een complied with in this instance. .
The oraiusnee to provide for the repairing of the
streets in which gas-pipe may he laid by the Trustees of
the Gas Woiks, was.also returned, because, in the lan
guage,of the Mayor, “its provisions conflict with the
powers which have been granted by various acts of As-. :
eenibly to the several gas companies whose franchises
are now exercised by the Trustees of the Gas Works,
ET.d, in accordance.wherewith, a contvact for work to be
performed throughout the late districts has been duly
made for the prosont year.” The acts incorporating
various gas companies require that ike streets broken up
for the introduction of gas shall be repaired as soon as
practicable, by/lie companies, at their own expense.
The consideration of the ordinances were postponed
for the present.
Appropriations.
Tnc Finance Committee reported a resolution empow
ering the clerk of Councils to advertise a loan to pay for
the drainage of the city, which was agreed io.
The same committee reported a supplemental ordinance,
prescribing the duties of tho;Receiver of Taxes. Agreed
-to
Also, an ordinance appropriating $1,500, to provide for
the proper labelling and indexing of the assessment
books, for the convenience of conveyancers and others.
Agreed to.
The Highways
The Committee on Highways, reported an. ordinance
making an appropriation for the purpose of grading and
macadamizing Green lane, in the Twenty-second ward,
from the Second street pike, to York pike, providing the
expense does not exceed $5,000; and provided, also, that
the owners of property along the line shall pay one
third the expense. Adonted.
The same committee reported an ordinance providing
for the grading of Twenty-second street, from South to
Catharine, which was also agreed to.
Also, a resolution authorizing the paying of Mayland

ding of Taylor street, Nineteenth ward, which were
adopted.
Jlr. I'owEßi of the Committee on Poor, reported an
ordinance appropriating to the Guardians of the Poor
$3,P00, to provide for additional boilers at the Alms
house, and also to meet the advanced price of coaL
Agreed to.
Claims Against the City*
Mr. Smith, of the Committee on Claims, reported an
ordinance, appropriating $588.63 to pay certain claims
against the city; among them was one of $lOO, by a Co
hen, which occasioned much debate. It was stated that ,
the claim of the latter had been before Councils for
eighteen years, and had been always set aside. Mr.
Aloons, one of the members of the committee, said that
it wai resolved to give Mr. Cohen $10i) in order to get rid
of his importuning; There was no justice in the claim,
but it is worth that much to get rid of him. The ordi
nance was agreed to.
/Resolutions of instruction to-the Chief Commissioner
of Highways, to have paved Wharton, Summer, and
other streets, were submitted; and referred to the Com
mittee on Highways.

An Expert Female Swindler Arrested—Her
Operations In Hew Yorlc. *
A female, habited in a splendid silk dress, mantilla
With bugles, “love of a bonnet,” faultless kids, lace'em
broidery, pearl powder,-Ac., was arraigned at the Cen
tral Station yesterday afternoon. She gave the assumed
name of Emma Smith. Once she may nave passed for a
woman, so far as relates to facial develop
ments, but, art having, been called into requisition, her
beauty may not be considered even skin deep. She has
been operating to a considerable extent upon proprie
tors of first-class stores in the city of New York. Be
ing arraigned for a hearing, the following evidence
was elicited:
George H. Smith (detective) sworn. —ln company with
Mr. Thomas Dueenberry, of the New York police, T
Went to a boarding house in Sansom street this morning;
the defendant was arrested on the charge of obtaining a
silk mantilla from the store of Messrs. Lord & Taylor,
New York. • • - _
By the Alderman. Did you recover the mantilla ?
Answer. She has it now on her person We also re
covered two handsome bonnets with fine feathers, which
it is said she obtained from Mrs. Walters, a New- York
milliner. Mr. Hill is present,: who can detail the par-,
ticulars and identify the mantilla. « ,
H. 8. Hill sworn.—Am in the employ of Messrs. Lori
& Taylor, corner of BroSdway and Grand street; the
mantilla the defendant has on her person is the property
'of Measr*. Lcrd & Taylor; she took it about the 45th?or

;for her arrest.

The case here ended, and the chop-fallen defendant was
into the Rogue’s Gallery room, in which place
she had an interview with a well-dressed young man,
whom the wily detectives regarded with more than usual
/Scrutiny
now SHE OPERATED.
It may 1)6 interesting to the storekeepers generally to
know liow this female pursued her nefarious business.
Early in. the month of April last, she called at the
■Store of Messrs. Lord & Taylor. She was waited, upon
fjy Mr. I). H. Hill, an active, gentlemanly
paid every attention to her, because she seemed'to be
one of the ■ * upper ten." Ordinary silk at two or three
tlollarsper yard did not come'up to her notions of gen
-.tilfty. bhe was an only daughter, and “pa n put up at
the St/Nicholas Hotel. , - • ; ,
~ The finest quality of silk dresses aud mantillas, and
other articles supposed to he positively necessary to
come up to the faenion, were shown her., She examined
them well, admired them, hut still she seemed to de
sire something better, and “ thought she would look
farther
Mr. Hill is a ladies! manVha knows, as an expert
salesman Bhould know, how-to cater 4 t6the.fancies of the
fair sex. Ho wanted,to make a sale, of coarse.
•* I have here, ” said>he, a superior silk mantilla, de
signed to lead the fashion; let me show it to you,”
as he brought it from a case to full view,ana light..
. Ah! .replied.the customer, taking it in hand, 14 this
Is something that I should like; I am sure it would,
please pa. Ohll dojvish pa had come with me; I think
ne would be delighted. ” The reader will please pro
nounce pa as if written #ar.
.How much do you ask for this?” asked the lady.
, Seyenty.fi.ye dollars,” replied the*half-enchanted
clerk.” '
With a loss of her head she did mt think the price un
reasonable. Expense was no iobject to her; all she
desired was something to please par and lead the
fashion. • •
“Pa,” however, had only given her a hundred dol
lars for that afternoon, and already she had expended
fifty of it. at Mrs. Walters , for bonnets.
“I will take it,” said she, carelessly,taking out a
fifty-dollar United States Treasury note from her sym
metrical povtmounaie, and handing: it towards the
salesman. In a moment, as though something had just
struck her fancy, she quickly -said: *• No, : no.” (with
drawing her hand and restoring the note to her port
wonnaie.) ‘I must use that for another purpose; ['ll
make par pay for that, in .the morning. You can keep
the mantilla until morning, and I’ll try and get par to
advance me enough to pay for it.”
The clerk was?ow more anxious than ever to effect ‘a
sale, and being probably afraid that par •••‘would not be
in a good hnraOr before dinner time, suggested that the
could be sent to the St. Nicholas on that after
noon.
1 -»• oi “0! Oil no! you need not send it,” said the lady,
wting the end of her pearl-handled parasol, > and at the
saijie time standing in admiration, of the mantilla
Tiio clerk partly insisted on sending it, and finally elio
yielded, and said that tt need not be sent before four
o'clock, as My dear par would not be awake from
his after-dinner nap before that timo.
“.’rV ??d soon , visited another in the
i hkst four o clock, on the same
afternoon, a lad with the mantilla called at the hotel.
an . d I S a ?, us ? lei ' ea to.the room of Mrs. EmmaPurfell.
tm. i v' my little lad, ” said she, taking the man
tilla from him, and step np to tho stove and warm
y outsell.” ;. r. ,
The boy did so: She went into the next room, through.
- a communicating doorway? she called out par! par! !
po.r l /./ in different tones, as though making as grace
ful an effort as she could to awaken her sleeping patefc
nal. Oh, never mind, I will not waken you,” said
.she, quite pettishly, as she returned to the room.
• She Wrote a note—gtlt-edged paper, scented envelope,
&c:, &o -—sealed it, and, handing it to the little boy,
said, “There, bubby, take that to the store; now don’t
you lose it.” :
. The lad took the epistle, and hastened to the store.
Mr. Hill received the note. It read as follows:
Hear Sir: - My pa is not awake. I will call in the
morning and settle. Yours ' E. PURFBLL. i
Mr. Hill was not to he fooled in that way, so he des
patched the boy and an officer to the Hotel, hut the fine
lady had flown. She was traced to Philadelphia and
arrested yesterday as above stated. It is said that she
-has operated to a considerable extent in New York quite
recently.
Alleged liibel Case*
Charles N. Pine, alleged to be the publisher of the
Democratic header , appeared before Alderman Beitler,
last evening, on a--further hearing on tho charge of
having published in said paper a libel reflecting upon
the moral or. loyal character of' Mr. "Win. B. Thomas,-
Collector ofthe Port of Philadelphia.
-The first witness .called was Robert C. Smith, who
testified that he was the foremau of the Evening Jour
nal office, and that although he had no interest in the-.
Democratic Leader, yet he declined to answer as to tho
publishers, on the ground that it might criminate him
self.
After considerable of a debate on this important point,
becween'Mr. W. S. Pierce for the prosecutions and Mr.
J. C. Vandyke for the defence, the question was finally
submitted as follows: .
Question. Please state upon the oath you have taken’
who aro the publishers, if you know, of a newspaper
called the Democratic Leader, published at No. 103
South Third street, in thejfity of Philadelphia. ‘
The alderman stated that as the witness had already
testified that he had.no interest in the paper, a yes or
no could not criminate him.
Answer. 1 decline to answer the question, because
there are certain social relations in all businesses of life
which should be held sacred by every honorable man;
also, because Mr. Thomas, the'prosecutor,’made a threat
that he would hold me particeps criminis in this case.
At this stage ofthe proceedings the witness was al
lowed to. retire. .
Janies Moore, pressman, and Charles "Wilson, repor
ter, were called to the stand, but neither of them could
say that the defendant was the publisher of the paper,
not havingbeen employed in their respective professions
by him.
At the request of the counsel for the prosecution, the
case.was continued until next Monday afternoon.

The Exploded State Saving Fund.
George H. Hart, Charles G. Imlay, A. F. CUeesbo
xongh, Daniel Haddock, Joseph Edwards, John Mc-
Clure, J. H. Hays, H. R. Coggshall, officers and di
rectors of tlie.State Saving Fund, a moneyed institution
that exploded a- couple of years ago, were ar
raigned before Alderman White, yesterday. after
noon, on complaint of Mr- John I). Roberts, a depo
sitor, who charged them with conspiracy to defraud
deponent. H. Hubble, Esq., appeafed for the prosecu
tion, and S. B. Perkins, Esq., N. Sharpless, Esq., and
J. Robinson, Esq. , for the defence. The only witness
examined was Mr. Roberts, the deponent. According
to the facts elicited, ho made a deposit of the sum of
three hund>ed dollars in the State Saving Fund, in the
month of December, IS6O. 1-Ie handed - the money
to Mr. J. H. Hays, a teller, with whom he had
some conversation on the stability of the institution.
Be was assured'by Hays that it was perfectly sound. On
this point he had quite a conversation, Re'simply de
sired a place of safe keeping for his money for only four
weeks.. He told Mr. Bays that lie had beeu duped by a
concern in Walnut street, and was therefore anxious
not to pat his money into any institution that was not
perfectly reliable.' Mr. Hays assured him that the State
Saving Fund was reliable. The mouoy was deposited.
Shortly after Christmas day, of the same month,
being about two weeks after he made his deposit,
he went-to the banking house bn Dock street, be
low Third, to draw his money out. when, to his utter
astonishment and discomfiture, he' learned for the
first time that its business had closed and au assignment
made. Witness said that at about the same time he had
a conversation with Mr. Imlay, treasurer of the fund,
who admitted that it was a hard casB that he should
lose his money. The treasurer further stated that some
arrangement was making by which the recent depositors
would be paid back-their money. He has never, re
covered the money so deposited. The witness under
went a long examination, but the above is the pith of
the charge. The case is held under advisement. .
: [Before Mr. Alderman Devlin. ]
Violent Assault and Battery.
John Agnew was arraigned, yesterday, on the charge
of assault and battery, with intent to kill two young
men named John and James .Megan. It seems chat a
quarrel ensued on the Delaware front, above Maiden
street, during which the defendant beat them with a
stick of wood; stone, or other weapon. James had his
head badly cut, and John was much injured about the
body. The accused was ordered to enter bail in the sum
of $3,000, to answer at court. . gffgg -ggfl

Not a few of the worst disorders that afflict mankind
arise from the corruption that accumulates in the blood.
Of all the discoveries that have .been made to purge
it out, nonefcan equal in effect HELMBOLD’S
COMPOUNDEXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA. It cleans
es and renovates the blood, instils the vigorOfhealth
into the system, and purges out the humors which 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 widely
known, but when they are, it will no longer be a ques
tion what remedy to employ in the great variety of af
flicting diseases that require an alterative remedy. Such
a remedy,' that could oe relied on, has long beefl-sought
for, and now, for the first time, the public have one on
which they can depend. Our 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 surpassing
anything they have ever taken.
Two tablespoonsful of. the EXTRACT of SARSAPA
RILLA added to a pint of water, is equal to the Lisbon
Diet Drink, and one bottle is fully equal to a gallon of
the Syrup of Sarsaparilla, or the Decoction, as usually
made.'
THESE EXTRACTS HAVE BEEN ADMITTED TO
USE IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY, and are'also in
very general use in all the STATS HOSPITALS and
PUBLIC SANITARY INSTITUTIONS throughout the
land, as well as in private practice, and are considered
as invaluable remedies.

HUT Street, Philadelphia.
READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY:
The difference between/ac£ and 7JetiVm, of,permanently
curios the sick aud suffering of their diseases or adver
tising to cure, and shoeing hut little or ujo evidence of
cures, can he well appreciated by the anxious inquirers
after health, upon attentively reading the following
synopsis of certificates from some of the most reliable
gentlemen in Philadelphia, who were permanently
cured by Prof. Bolles, 1220 WALNUT Street, aod after
• they had been given up as incurable by the most emi
nent medical men of this city • '
ANOTHER REMARKABLE CURE. -
• Philadelphia, March 31st, 1863.
For the past three or four years my health has been
gradually running down, and I for some time could not
understand the cause of it. At first I wi£* not muoh
alarmed, but, as time wore on, my sufferings kept
f;elting worse. . I began to lose flesh, my natural color
eft me, and mv appetite became very irregular. I ap
plied to several physicians, but they did not eeem to
understand my disease, for I kept growing worse. I
was troubled with palpitation of the heart, difficulty of
breathing, oftentimes trembling of the limbs, soreness
in my throat, loss of memory, and great aversion to
business and .to society. At.times I was very gloomy,
and what caused me to feel worse was myinability to
collect my thoughts vigorously on any subject; suffered
much from swimming in the head, and much from fears
of getting insane, for my physicians had told me that I
had symptoms of fits; but, after persevering for a long
time in the old school remedies, and in the homoeopathic,
■also, I was informed my case was beyond cure-.: - vi
Seeing the advertisement of Prois. JSoctes <fc Galloway
in The Press and Bulletin, I called on them at 1220 Wal
nut'street, and, after conversing with, them a few mi
nutes, they told me that they could cure me, and. that
without throwing poisonous drugs into my system. This
to me was rather astonishing; still I believed it, for i
had known some persons they had cured, who had been
• worse than even I was.- I commenced.their treatment, ,
which is perfectly, pleasant, and I am happy to say that,
in nine treatments of abont ten minutes each, I.was per
fectly curpd. This is astonishing to me, for I had given
up all hopts of being cured and of.having my,mind re
stored. In answer to my convictions of duty to my suf
fering fellow-men, I have made this statement of facts
in relation to ray own wonderful cure; and I know it is
permanent, for sufficient time has elapsed for a return;
therefore I feel certain. I shall take pleasure in being
referred to by any person or persons who may be suffer
ingas lwa3. CHARLEcs-E. BUCKINGHAM,

TRUTH IS MIGHTY AND WILL PREVAIL.
Prop. Bolles '-Dear Sir: Ab you have frequently, re
quested me to give you my opinion, of the therapeutic
effects of Electricity, when applied according to your dis
covery of its physiological relations to the human sys
tem, in producing and caring T disease; and this being
the first favorable opportunity, I will giye you a brief
statement of my success since I closed ,my instructions
with you, and also my faith in it as .a remediaL agent,
for the cure of all curable diseases. . At every stop as I
have proceeded in the practice, my astonishment has
been ic created when witnessing its power in controlling
and*’caring all forms of disease. .1 can hardly say to
what class of diseases Electricity is best'adapted—but
think it adapted to all—-but its power over Paralysis,
Consumption, Rheumatism, Acute or Chronic Neuralgia,
Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma, Amaurosis, Erysipelas,
St. Vitus’ Dance, all Female Diseases, and all derange
ments of the nervous system. The above diseases having
been treated by me since I took instruction from you, as
also many others;- therefore I speak positively of its
power to control without any medicine beiug. given ac
cording to Allopathy or Hhmeopathy— cures ten to one of
all that other systems claim to cure.

AYER’S PILLS.—ARB YOU SICK,
■4*- FEEBLE, AND COMPLAINING ?..Are :joui out of
order, with your system deranged and your feelings un
comfortable?. These symptoms are often the prelude to
serious illness. Some fit of sickness is creeping upon
you; and should he averted by a timely use of the right
remedy; Take AYER’S PILLS, and cleanse out the dis
ordered humors—purify the blood, and let the fluids
move on unobstructed in health again. They stimulate
the functions of the body into vigorous activity, purify
the system from the obstructions which: make disease.;■
A cold settles somewhere in the body, and obstructs its
natural functions. These, if not relieved, react upon
themselves and the surrounding organs, producing gene
ral aggravation, suffering; ana disease. While in this
condition, oppressed by the“derangements, tare AYER’S
PILLS, and see how directly they restore the natural
action of the system, and with it the buoyant feeling of
health again. What is true and so apparent in this tri-,
vial and common complaint, is also true in many of the
deep-seated and dangerous distempers. The same pur
gative effect,expels them. Caused by similar obstruc
tions and derangements of the natural functions of the'
body, they are rapidly and many of them surely, cured
by the-same means. .None who know the virtues of
these Pills will neglect to employ them when suffering
from the disorders they cure, such as Headache, Foul
Stomach, Dysentery, Bilious Complaints,-Indigestion,
Derangement of the Liver, Costiveness, or Constipation.
As a Dinner Pill they are both agreeable and effectual.
Price 25 cents per box, or five boxes for $l.

on the part of the tax-payer, and with the assistance
rendered by this circular, that ignorance of the law can
no longer be pleaded by delinquents in the hope of
avoiding the penalties provided.

as household words. ” . -
THEY SING THEIR OWN PRAISES..
In the arrangement of our new scale, we have added
•very improvement which can in* any way tend to the
perfection of the Piano Forte; and we confidently assert
that, for delicacy of touch, volume, purity, brilliancy,
and sweetness of tone, combined with that strength ana
solidity necessary to DURAELBirasa, these instrument*
are unequalled.
EVERY INSTRUMENT WARRANTED FOR FIVE
