Eby S.. ~E by 5... .ENE The Organization of the City COUN CILS.—The reorg.nizution of the City Oounoila will take' place bn next Monday morning, January 4th. The minority of there bodiee have succeeded during the past two years by a >y stem of stupendous fraud in overruling the majority composed of Union men. Secret efl'orts were made recently by au : aspiring member who has deceived his constituents in par ticular, and everybody else generally, to still subvert the true government of the city, by resorting to a fraud. The present Chief Clerk, it was understood, was to omit the names of two members, Messrs. J. Inman Kicbie and E. Spencer Miller, both of whom aie Union members; this would leave only twenty three members in Council, instead of twenty-five— the malcontents having twelve of this number, pro vided they all pulled together.' This all 'looked very pretty on paper. But that movement hai been effectually checkmated. Mr. James Lynd, the presi dent of the Select Counoil, was re-elected at the recent caucus. He, therefore, under the law, would come in'as a new member. This important fact was gravei'.y considered, and plotters were just as wise as so many owls. But the affair leaked out, and the Union members were ready to meet the attempted fraud. Mr. Lynd, the president, resigned, and Mr. John Q,. Ginnodo, Union member hoUling over, was elected to All the position thus vacated. 'The olerk who holds over for a few minutes, and then expires with the present dynasty, must obey the orders of Mr. President Ginnodo. Thus the organization of the Seleot Council is in tho keeping of the Union members. In the Common Council the Union ma jority is a litle larger, and it is not probable that any attempt will be made in.this shatnbor to subvert the true governing power. It is quite likely that Mr. Leech, ol the Twenty-fourth ward, who holds his •sat by a fraud for which a majority of the election judgea tuffered impiisonment, will have leave to re tire, as the Union members are of the opinion the city will not at all suffer beoause of his absenoe. Of course there will be some excitement at the time of the organization, but no particular outbreak or vio lence il apprehended. The aff air is simply a strug gle to retain power in detlanoeof the mighty Jiat of the majority of the people of Philadelphia. The Drilling of Youth.— The Junior State Guards recently organizged In the Fifteenth ward, have already arrived at a wonderful degree of perfection, so muohsoas to astonish all spectators. The meeting plaoe of thiß company is on Coates street, above Nineteenth. Uhe time of drilling is on eaoh Tuesday evening. A prominent member of the Legislature, who has witnessed the display,' has ex pressed an opinion that an not ought to be passed by the authorities of the State, making it obligatory unon the youth of the State to perfect themselves in military exercises. The question is one or Impor tance. and it has beoome quite a topic of conversa tion in different circles. All that Beems to be re ouirsd at the present time, is for some one or two persons in each ward to move In tne matter, and thus start the military ball. Besides, the importance of education in- military soienoe, the movement will be beneficial to health. Physical humanity will become straightar and more untight. In the next generation, if proper attention be paid to the youth of the present, there will be fewer men walking through the streetß so round shouldered, or with beads bowed down, as to seem deformed, or to be making a tour on a pin-hunting e3< fi e seems likely that the movement started in the Fifteenth ward will beoome general in our city and Other cities or the Union. It requires no great atietoh of the imagination to form some idea what kind Of people the next generation would likely proveto be, if the youth of to-day were properly trained in military exercises Since the introduction of steam engines into our Fire Department, there are far less numbers of boys found loitering about eDgine houses. They should have something, however, to occupy thßir attention, besides the work of learning trades or professions. In other words, the idle hours of boyhood could not be better spent than In military training.

Life Insurance. — Quite a spirited ri valry has, for some time pa>t, be>n maintained by Hfe insurance companies doing business upon whan is commonly known as ihe cash ano note systema- We have leceived lrom the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, represented in this city by Mr. F. Rate Mord fcstarr, 400 Walnut street, a pamphlet illustrating the practical workings of these two system*, by policies taken out in the same year (1846), for same amount, and on persons of the same age. The period these policies have been in existence (seventeen ye*ra) has given ample opportunity to test the two modes of insurance, and the public are deeply Interested in knowing the re sults. By an advertisement in another column it will be seen that these pamphlets may be had, free of expense, at 400 Walnut street $ The unparalleled suocess of the Mutual Life In surance Company of New ork is too well known to need any recommendation from us. Its cash re ceiptsthis year will, we believe, exceed two millions of dollars, and the interest on investments more than covers the losses and expenses, leaving the enormous revenue from premiums to accumulate for the benefit of insurers, who are the only ones that participate in tie profits. This accounts for the -large dividend declared by this company this year, and which exoeeded in amount; and in propor tion to premiums paid, that of any other life insu rance company in the world. As each policy-holder has the option of applying his dividend in adding to the sum insured, or in reducing his premium, tbUB giving a “ definite policy with a DECREAS ING PREMIUM, Or BU INCREASING POLICY WITH A definite premium,” the great objection to life in surance is removed, inasmuoh as the dread of having to drop the policy for want of funds, and thus lose all that has been paid, is overcome by haying no thing to pay for the policy. There are gentlemen in this city holding policies in this company who not only need not pay premium, but may receive a cash annuity during the remainaer of their lives. In other words, this company, after a few years, pro vides for the family of the aßßured, free of expense to him, and gives him a cash income for his support the rest of his days. The Storm.—A northeast rain-storm pre vailed yesterday, and resulted in swelling the ice bound streams to so great an extent as to remove the wintry enamel. It was broken into small fields and carried away by the swelling current. This is a tide that is not at all likely to carry the ice mer chants on to fortune A rain storm like that of yesterday damped their aspirations for a supply of the great luxury of summer. The wholesale dealers ought to have everything iu readiness to gather in the ice as soon as it has reached a clever thickness, and not wait until the ioe is formed before employ ing bards sufficiently strong to gather it in. Have the men ready, or there will not be ice enough for the soldiers of the Union next summer. Owing to the storm, the Delaware and the Schuyl kill, fed by their tributaries from the mountain legions, were very high, but no damage resulted so far as we could learn. Imposter.—TJie public are warned by the 'Women’s Branch of the United States Sanitary Commißßion to be oa- guard againat a female who* bM i)«en c«llca41l! ■j siaszy A" xma iasanst is FhiiaiielpUaj Hew Vorlt, ari<l frFdbaijlj.’ st}i6£ large clUis.

Of coarse, these swindlers may go ahead ad infinitum with all sorts of stories to extort a few dollars. About the best plan to pursue when such persons call upon the citizens of the State of Pennsylvania, is to hand them over to the'constituted authorities. The woman in question has been practising her imposition for several months, and it is believed that she has col lected a considerable amount of money. The ladies of the "United States Sanitary Commission, If they can, should by all means give a full description of the woman to the detectives, at Fifth and Chestnut streets. The real need of help Is so -pressing at the present time, that it is Important to exercise discri mination in all applications for aid. Guardians of the Poor.—A stated meeting of the Board of Guardians of the Poor was held yesterday afternoon. The house agent reported the following: Population of the almshouse 2,672 Same time last year....; 2,603 Decrease. 31, Admitted during last two weeks 123 Births .....3 Deaths.... 13 Discharged.... 63 Sloped.... 23 Bound.. 1 Oriented lodgings 47 Granted meals..,.. ......108 ffiti steward sopnitad bauu suslgts smsuatlag ta for thß.yesr $2,09112, which have been paid into toe oity treasury. The tresurer reported having paid Into the city treasury $1,916.77, of which $92 L 75 were for support esses, and $994.02 for house receipts. Mr. Erety oflered a resolution that Mr. William S. Toland, visitor of the poor for the Fifth district (reoently elected an alderman), have permission to act in bis office as alderman during the remainder of his term as visitor of the poor, agreed to. Mr. Erety also offbred a resolution that the visitors of the poor be directed to investigate the manner in whioh the out door poor are supplied with coal and wood on orders of the Guardians of the Poor, which was also agreed to, and the Board adjourned. Christmas at Satterlee Hospital.— Christmas was a gala-day with the Inmate* of the West Philadelphia Military Hospital. A sumptuous repast had been provided for the soldiers, and was served up under the care of a largenumber of patri otic ladies, whose presence added great brilliancy to the ocoaslon. The various departments of the build ing were proiusely and elegantly tfeoorated with wreaths, festoons, and symbolical devices, of ever greens. In the arrangement of whioh much taste was displayed. The utmost satisfaction prevailed among the men. Good humor and hilarity were the order of the day. Basking in the bmiles of the fair, and revelling In the luxuries of the well-furnished tables, the wan worn heroes seemed to forget their grlefß in the enjoyment of the hour- Even those longings after home,which are irrepressible at such a season, seemed to have become a source of quiet, meditative pleasure, rather than of aotual pain. The National Finances.—The sub scription agent reports tbe sale of $1,167,660 five twenties, on Monday. Deliveries of bonds are being made to November 21st, inclusive. Only seventy millions of this loan remain unsold, and the organi zation of National Banking institutions Is making a large daily reduction. A Relic of Antiquity.— The “old mitt •ion,” at the northwest comer of Race and Crown streets, to whioh attention ha# recently beendlreeted by the papers, was, during the occupation of the city by the British army in 17TT-8, the headquarters of Lieutenant Colonel Johnson, m command of the 28th Regiment, and the staples.in whioh the [flag staff was inserted- are still remaining in the peak of the east gable. Another incident of the periodfeon nectedwlth the building may, perhaps, be deemed worth mentioning. On the evening of June Ist, *7B,' whilst the commandant was slttirg reading at the window, the sentinel on duty, an old grenadier, paolng the pavement' in front, and a lad, the son of the owner of the house, sitting on the steps, a gun was fired from a man-of-war lying in the stream off Race street wharf. The sentinel stood for a moment, then stepped up to the Colonel, and touching his bear*skin oap,*said—“That gun was shotted sir I” Johnson started to his feet, and gazed earnestly up. the street, and the grenadier resumed his walk. The lad,in afterlife, in narrating this incident, would also allude to the Intense interest evinced by the officer, and the utter indifference of the soldier as to the effect of the ball. At the commencement of the present century haunted houses were still the fashion in Philadelphia. The reminlsoent believes that fashion has now passed away. This building, stand ing alone (good grounds for suspicion ol ghostdom in those days), with its dark brown, alternating with blaok brick,'since painted over, and itsßombre as pect, rendered more so by the thiok foliage then surrounding it, did not eßoape an imputation so in convenient to landlords who had houses to rent, and tenants who required domestic aid. But what confirmed the unfavorable impression thus pro duced, was tbe apparition at uight about the grounds of “ a figure in white.” This was the then mistress of the house, whose passion for flowers often led her . round her garden to see the influence upon her plants of the.night air. - The garden, then covered the site of the present church buildlag on the north, and ex tended round to Fifth street, where was the stabling of the establishment. The extensive back buildings of the house were taken down about forty years ago. It is notioed in Watson’s Annals, 1,441, and at p. 181 of Winthrop Sargent’s picturesque mono graph of Andrd, The building is now “The Sol dier’s Home.” Miserable Inebriates. Whenever a sudden “ cold snap” of weather cornea upon the peo ple, there is & class, who at once seek refuge in the station houses. This class is composed of mise rable inebriates, far down upon the soale of humani ty. The Cherry* street station, the Union-street, tne Second-district station, are places of peculiar attraction for.the poor besotted victims of intempe rance. Philanthropic persons, who can stand blas phemy and obscenity, might open their eyes in be holding one or two-of the scenes that have come under our personal notice within a week. These degraded and disgusting victims of shocking dissi pation, AS we view them huddled together around ihe,furnace doors, look like. so many fiends of a hu manftieH, Here sets one in.the ashes, rockiogsher self to and fro; a tquallid: baby wrapped in rags is huddled close to her rum-soaked bosom; the woman sings M Oh, yer.daddy isgone.to.be a soger.” There, in another corner, a female inebriate has a spasmo dic attack of delerium tremens, and she wants the snakes taken from her arms. Three or four deserted children are in one mass, hungry and forsaken. Here is a woman just brought iu; she has a calico dress on—nothing more. She was partly frozen in an alley. These are the scenes of the stations by midnight, any one of which ought to make a sensi ble persoD careful bow he or she indulges in that po tent thing that steels away the brains. During the very cold weather nearly all the station houses con tain six temperance lectures per week—sound prac* tical doctrine. ' Military Instruction.—A school of military instruction has been established ; at the headquarters of the United States colored troops, on Chestnut street, where persons who desire to be come officers of colored soldiers have an opportunity to perfect themselves in military science. Col. John H. Taggart has been appointed preceptor of the school* There will be three sessions dally. When the pupils have gained sufficient knowledge, they will be sent to Camp William Penn to drill the’ sol diers there. Col. Taggart is a Philadelphia printer, and has seen much service in the Army of the Po tomac. The power to impart knowledge is a promt' nent characteristic of Col* Taggart. In fact he was the military reporter for a number of years in Pnila delphia before the rebels raised their bloody arms against the ensign of the nation. Arrival of the Massachusetts.— The United States supply steamer Massachusetts, Lieut. William H. West commanding, arrived off'the navy yard yesterday afternoon, from the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron. Slie touched at Fortress Monroe, on the way here, :from which place the latest news from off Charleston were telegraphed here and published in The Press of yesterday. She re ports the ice very heavy in the river from New Oaßtle to this city. st. — The following »*, was received at the Monday, for tue week Sudden Deaths.—An unusual number of Budden deaths have occurred recently in this city, admonishing the living the uncertainty of. life. Yesterday, two persona died very suddenly in the upper part of the city. One of them, named William McCormick, died at a house on Montgomery street, above Girard avenue. The other John Ittayivhirter, aged 60 years, died very suddenly-at house 1421 Hope street, Seventeenth Ward. . The coroner was called to hold inquests in both these cases. Death of a Soldier.— The following death was reported atjthe Medical Director’s yester day, from the Broad and Cherry-streets Army Hos pital: Charles French, private, Co. H, 12th Regi ment New Jersey . School of Design for Women. — The Third Annual Exhibition of the School of Design for Women, will take place to-day at the School, in Chestnut street, opposite the Mint, This exhibition will be full ofintereat.', Alarm of Fire.—The alarm of fire about nine o’clock yesterday morning was caused by the burning ofa part of the roof of a house at Thirty seventh and Q-reen streets, Twenty-fourth ward. It originated from a foul chimney. An adjourned meeting of both branches of the City Councils waa held yesterday afternoon. The bill from Common Council, making au ap propriation of $27,700 to the department of the city treasury, to pay for salaries, printing, stationery, etc., for the year 1864, was taken up. Mr. Brightly opposed the passage of this bill, as the tax-rate established by Councils for the next year will not allow the raising of salaries. Mr. Miller Baid theie was no increase of salaries proposed in this bill. The bill was concurred in. The bill making an appropriation of $ 700 to the clerks and messengers of select And Common Coun cils for extra services during the year 1863 was taken up. Mr. Miller moved that the bill be referred to the Committee on Finance. Mr. Cathbrwood hoped that it would not be re ferred, as they had done a great deal of extra ser vice during the past year; but he had no objection to refer it if that committee would consider it this evening and report at the next meeting. The bill was concurred in. The bill making an appropriation to the Depart ment of Highways for rebuilding and repairing bridges was concurred in. Also, the bill making an appropriation of $16,604.17 to the Department of Market Bouses, for tbe care and management of market houses, wharves, and landings for the year 1864. Mr. Miller called up the ordinance extending relief to the families of colored volunteers who en list in this city and are credited to it. Mr. Nicholson called the yeas and nays on the question. He said he was opposed to the bill, and wished his namerecorded against it. The ordinance passed.

Also, the bill making au Appropriation of $13,100 to the trustees of the City Ice Boat to pay expenses for the year 1864. Also, the bill making an appropriation of $246,420 to the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund for the year 1864. The bill making an appropriation of $23,674 to the Clerkß of Councils for the year 1864, was, after amend ing concurred in. " Mr. KAMERLY-moved tha the Finance Committee be discharged from the further consideration of the bill making an appropriation to the clerks and mes sengers of Councils, and|that the Chamber now pro ceed to a consideration of it. The motion was agreed to, and the bill passed. The bill making an appropriation of $16,150 to the Department of City Controllers, to pay expenses for the year 1864, was taken up. Mr. Davis moved to postpone the bill. His motion was lost. The motion to suspend the rules was lost, and the bill fell. . The bill, making an appropriation of. $28,800 to the Receiver of Taxes, to pay expenses for the year 1864, was concurred in. Also, the bill making an appropriation of $293,615 to defray the expenses of the Guardians of the Poor for the year 1864. Also, the ordinance authorizing the Mayor to borrow an additional loan, not exceeding $600,000, to meet the expenses required to pay the families of volunteers. The bill making an appropriation of $5*25,928 to pay the expenses of the Department of 'Police for the year 1864, was taken up. The Chamber went into a Committee of the Whole to consider it, Me. Davis in the chair. Mr. Brightly moved to strike out the first sec tion, appropriating $6,200 to pay the salaries of the clerks in the Mayor’s office, and insert $5,900.. Messrs. Brightly and King opposed any in crease of salaries. In reference to increasing the policemen’s salaries, Mr. Gihkodo said he had, a short time previous, introduced a bill to this eflfeot, and was always In favor of the project. He thought the Police De partment of Philadelphia was composed of better material than In any other city, yet here they receive (he pooMit pay. If mo do not give them in gqiiiwL lent for their labor tfiop will leave toe department, and their places will be tilled with Inferior men. Mr. G. paid a high compliment to the efficiency of the department, and strenuously urged the passage of the bill. After aome further discussion, the bill was post poned, and Mr. Miller presented an ordinance in creasing the salaries of all oity officials under $1,200 per annum, at the rate of 10 per cent. Mr. Sfbbihg moved to strike out 10 per cent, and inseitl6. Agreed to. The ordinance, as amended, then passed.

Christmas* as a whole, was indeed a season-of merriment. The police, of course, allowed some latitude for general enjoyment, and although a score or so of young men were arrested on Christmas evening, for going be* yond the bounds of prudence, yet it is an agreeable faot to state that nothing serious happened, auoh as have taken plaoe during the Christmas holidays. We have known, in some instances, several mur ders to have been committed on Christmas eve in the very heart of the city, within a stone’s throw of the Control Station., Storekeepers, In almost any numbers, were astounded on the morning after Christmas, to find thousands of dollars’ worth of goods removed by burglar thieves from their places of business. But the present season, our olty was comparatively clear of heavy robberies. We have no Christinas murders to ohroniole. The only owe of any public Interest heard at the Central Station yesterday .was that of ajyoung man giving the name of John Lovett, who was charged with breaking Into the house of Mr. John B.’Jenkins, on Eleventh street, near Fine, on the 13th of last June, and steal ing therefrom a gold watch and chain. The chain Wftß recovered. The accused was committed. _ (Before Mr. Alderman White. 1 Pasting an Altered Kote. John Davis and Another colored man stopped at the public house or store of James Avery, on Lom bard stfcet, near Sixth, • • Davis said ! “ I guess you oan’tohange a ten-dol lar note for two drinks, can you?” “Well, I guess jl can't,” said Avery, “I haln’t got that muoh change.” Then the other colored man said, “Buy a turkey, den he’ll produce the change.” A turkey, was bought at a liberal price* The note was handed to, the seller, but he not having quite enough change, went to a neighboring store. • • The note was here discovered to be a one altered to a ten United States Treasury. Mr. Avery re turned with a police officer. Davis was arrested, but the other fellow, taking time by the forelock, made good his escape. Davie was bound over to answer at the United States court. ; (Before Mr. Alderman Miller J The Union Bank Counterfeit- A man giving the name of Jacob Christine was arraigned, in the Twenty* fourth ward, yesterday, on the charge of passing counterfeit five-dollar notes, Union Bank. A. number of persons appeared against biro, and testified that be had passed the notes upon them. These notes are signed J. J. Huoker, cashier* The name of tbe cashier is J. J. Huokel. This faot does not clear the accused. Of course, the oharge of forgery cannot, perhaps, legally be laid against him; but the revised penal code provides for spurious notes. The defendant was committed. The reader should not be misled in regard to the signature, for some of the counterfeits may have the name of the cashier signed to them. The engraving of the no be is pronounced excellent by competent judges. A new plate will probably be issued by the bank, in order to protect the community from loss by the well-arranged counterfeits. A Scene by the Wayside Early on Christmas morning, professional busi nejß keeping ua out. we were not a UtUe amused at a scene that fell under our observation. ' A pretty well-dressed man had won a turkey at a raffle, which he desired to take home. The man was in a perfectly good humor, but decidedly and unequivocally intoxicated. He was talking to a tree on the sidewalk. . : “Look here, old fellow, ’’said he, “I won this turkey fair.” “ I tell you I did.” “ Then, if you begrudge it to me, vy take it, that’s all. Maybe yer family aint got none for Christmas.” Here he offered the turkey to the tree, let go of it, and down it fell upon the ice, bright as the rays of a cloudless moon. He stooped to get it. He swayed backward and forward, then slipped, then tried to regain his equilibrium; then his hat fell off; then he tried to recover it, and finally succeeded, but he could not put it on, &b the crown Beemcd to be in the way. To see a funny drunken man on tbe ice is one of those scenes that cannot fail to be amusing. Presently the inebriated gentleman fell sprawling on the turkey, and'remained in thispoßitibn for some time. It seemed impossible for him to get up. “Look here, mister, won’t you lend & feller a helping hand.” Thiß was spoken to the tree. “Well, if yer won’t, then I’ll do without you. I won the turkey fair. Didn’t I spend ail my money?” After gyratingashorttime, the effects of the liquor began to pass away, and the victim to its power be came conscious enough to see himself as others saw him. Tbe tree to him ceased to be human; the man was bewildered, and finally proceeded, as well as could be expected, down the Btreet with a “ shocking bad hat” smashed on his head, and a pretty-well smashed turkey in bis hand. There was one truth enunciated by the individual that has been the ex perience of thousands: Turkeys won at raffles in the evening generally cost the winners more money than it would take to purchase a pair In market, and it not unfrequently happens that the individuals have the painful interest of a first-class headache in the morning. LEGAL INTELLIGENCE. In the Supreme Court at Nisi Prius, and the United States District Court, nothing of interest transpired yesterday. In the Court of Oyer and Terminer and Quarter Session*, the following cases were disposed of: Edward Parker was convicted of having com mitted an assault and battery on Jesse Williams. The offence was committed at Shinn’s Hotel, on Broad street, on the night after the last election, and grew out of a dispute about the result of the election.
