REV. J. WALKER JACKSON'S LECTURE.—
yeei,Syeldne. Rev. J. Walker Jackson delivered, in
Mandel allettaydn ijaiL bis interesting lecture on
"'Andrew Jackson?" The attendance, though the
p=ds of the lecture were for the benefit of the
.1 . 'ea , Soldier's Aid Society of Green-street Mc.
• thodist Episcopal Church,, was not large. Those
.present, however, were amply repaid for the
inconvenience which the inclement weather
Occasioned by the eloquence and patriotism to
which they were treated. The political and mili
tary career of the great statesman and general was
detailed with spirit and force. Many anecdotes
were interspersed throughout the discourse. par
titular allusion was drawn to the course of
4121eneralfackson while commanding the Awed
, can arm in New Orleans. His suspension
and ernes of Judge Hall for granting a writ
of habeas corpus to a military offender Wan
• Spoken of as showing the characteristic bent of
Jackson's mind. Full of fire, energy, and perse
verance, he would not Allow even a judge to inter
fere with him in the discharge of nis public dn.
ties. The subsequent trial of Jackson for contempt
of court—his being compelled to pay a fi n e o f
$l,OOO, and the enthusiasm of the populace
to pay it for hi m , mete all depicted with
.truthfulness, and crested great applause. OM
Burnside did what fen. Jackson would have done,
excepting that he did not do enough. Burnside
should have hung Vallandigham, and than, what
Jackson would do if he - were alive today. The
treatment South °manna received at the hands of
Jackson, as compared with the impotence exhibited
towards the same tieasonable locality by Mr. Bu
chanan, elicited attention and applause.

general recruiting officer, was also present, and ex
pressed his belief that, by pursuing this course, the
quota for the ward can be readily procured. Quite
a large sum was subscribed by those present, and
the citizens having the matter in charge appear to
be determined that the effort shall be entirely suc
armful. The matter commends itself to the favors
ble consideration of every citizen of the ward.

About forty new recruits, enlisted by Captain Cad

also paid. Captain Cadwallader has now about one
hundred and fifty recruits on band, who will be sent

is no time to be lost by those who desire to receive
the large bounty given by the General Government,
as by act of Congress it will not be paid after to-day.
VICTIM or man REBELS.—An aged gentle
man, entirely trustworthy, for entertaining Union
sent?ments, was driven from Oolumbue Tenn.,
many months! since, and what property he hadwas
confiscated by the rebels. It is unnecessary to enter
into an elaborate dissertation on the sufferings of
the Union men, women, and children of Tennessee.
It might require the world as en inkstand, and
eternity as a volume to contain the record. They
have all suffered. The old gentleman whom we
aim yesterday has had his share. Perhaps there

day evening a gas meter exploded in a house near
Seventh and Sonth streets. No serious damage
was occasioned by it. It appears that the water in
the meter had frozen, and 111 examining it a lighted
lamp was used, which, being taken too near, caused
the explosion. Al the cold weather will cause the
water in meters to freeze, persons should take warn
ing from the above accident, and not hold a light so
close as to bring about an explosion ; serious results
may follow.
TEE NATIONAL Thum? Crum .--A meeting
of the National Union Club was held last evening,

Election of President.
The election of a new president to serve during
. the ensuing year was then in order.
Mr. James Lynd and Mr.Nsamuel G. Ring were
then nominated for that office, and, a vote being
taken, the former received 13 and the latter 12 votes.
Mr. Lynd was then declared elected.
Mr. Rine escorted him to the chair and adminis
tered the oath of office.
Mr. Lrnn, upon taking his seat, made the follow
ing address:
CIaNTI.BMEN OF SELECT COUNCIL : The laws of
the Commonwealth and the suffrages of the people
have conferred upon us, in conjunction with the
Common Council and the Mayor, the duty of legis
lating for and of guarding the general interests of
the city of Philadelphia. A. city, in its area and in
the number and comfort of its dwellings, the first
upon this continent ; in its population great& than
several of the States of our Union, and second to
New York city . alone ; in its wealth computing by
hundreds of millions.
The trust is one of high honor and of great re
sponsibility. The fidelity of our performance of this
trust not only affects the interests of ourselves and
of our fellow•eitizens during the present year, but
may materially affect the prosperity and happiness
of our and their descendants for many years to come.
Let us therefore, gentlemen, be prompt, zealous,
and faithful ; let not personal aggrandizement influ
ence nor party considerations blind us ; in all our
actions let us remember the motto 4 ' non sibi led oat
nibus,ff and let us ever, in cue of conflict, subordi
nate the good of the party to the good of the city.
Bow difficult this . last consummation is, none
know better than the members of this Chamber, and
more particularly those of the dominant party, and
now, appealing to them and myself, I fervently hope
that we may not throw away this golden opportu
nity toprove ourselves worthy of the partiality of
'the majority of the citizens of this great munici
pality. They have complained of unwise legisla
tion ; they have complained of mismanagement in
the departments. We have replied: "Repose the
power in our hands, and all these causes of Com
plaint-shall cease." They have taken us at our
word, and, oh, do not let us forfeit it. Let our pro
mise respond to the hope as truly as to the ear.
Let us choose none but honest and qualified men
for the heads of the departments, and then let us
watch them and let us pray for them—over few
does temptation stretch a darker shadow. Should
we be so unfortunate as to choose a dishonest
officer, let us meet his first step of corruption with
the rebuke and exposure due alike to our dignity
and to his delinquency. ,
Pursue this course firmly, and we provide the
speediest check to the evil and the mildest, yet most
effectual punishment to the delinquent. C'est le
premier pas qui coute. The departments are power
ful party engines, and the advancement of party
purposes is the usual pretext for and the usual pal
liation of their prostitution. But I beseech you,
gentlemen, not to be imposed upon by so paltry a
subterfuge, not to be the subjects of so miserable a
delusion.
. .
Let the official, who approaches you with such a
suggestion, be greeted with the scorn and reproach
which he deserves; let him thenceforth be the object
of your keenest suspicion, and his department the
object of your constant surveillance. Nor let any
one have his misgivings as to the consequences of
this course upon either his-personal interests or the
interests of his party. The masses of the people
are honest, and intelligent and watchful ; their
prosperity is enhanced or impaired by the ob
servance or the neglect of the rules just commended,
and they will surely elevate to power and as surely
sustain therein alike the individual and the patty
whose conduct conforms to these rules.
You cannot, gentlemen, successfully separate ho
nesty and policy. To the minority members of this
Chamber I would respectfully suggest the expe
diency of keeping your majority colleagues to a
strict observance of the principles just announced.
By so doing, you will follow both the path of official
duty and the precedents of legislative usage. The
city is now under the control of your political oppo.
vents; set up for them the highest standard of
action, and watch'and proclaim their every short
coming. You will find more than one of them, I
am confident, who will applaud and second your
efforts. You will have the approval of your own
conscience, and will promote, too, the attainment of
the greatest good of the greatest number.
And now, gentlemen of Select Council, for the
honor which to-day for the second time has been
conferred upon me, accept my earnest and sincere
thanks, In looking around upon you, and ques
tioning my own fitness for this distinguished posi
tion, I am strongly persuaded to exclaim, " Sparta
hath many a worthier son than I." You have
made your selection, however, after a twelve
months' trial, and I submit gratefully and proudly.
Ii you feel that you have little cause to complain
of the past, it shall be my constant aim to give you
still less occasion to complain of the future. It
shall be my pleasure to extend to every one all the
kindness and courtesy within my power, and should
I fail at times to meet alt your expectations, attri
bute the failure to my want of means, and not to
my want of inclination.
In closing, gentlemen, permit me again to remind
you that into our hands, in great part, are committed
for an entire year the destinies of our growing city,
whether for good or for evil rests with us to re
solve. Let us apply ourselves to the task vigorously
and faithfully, and let each one so strive that, at the
end of the year, he may not only have no cause to
blush for evil deeds committed or for opportunities
for good deeds neglected, but may confidently chal
lenge from his fellow-citizens the plaudit: "Well
done, good and faithful servant."
Mr. ARMSTRONG "then made a short address on
behalf of the party in the minority, congratulating
Mr. Lynd on his reelection, and complimenting him
on the address delivered, which he moved to be en
tered in full upon the records of the journal. The
motion passed unanimously.
On motion of. Mr. WEAVER, the Chamber then
proceeded to the election of a Chief Clerk.
Mr. ARMSTRONG nominated Henry C. Corffeld,
and Mr. RIMIIR nominated Benjamin H. Haines.
The result was as follows./
Benjamin H. Haines 13
Henry C. Corfield 12
Mr. Haines was declared elected.
Mr. ARMSTRONG then moved that the Chamber

to.
Messrs. Robert Bethel and Horace Martin were
nominated.
The election resulted as follows :
Robert Bethel
Horace Martin 12
Mr. Bethel was then declared elected.
The newlrelected clerks were then morn in.
The PRESIDER T then appointed Messrs. Brightly
and Wetherill as a committee to wait upon Com
mon Council and inform that branch that Select
Council was organized, and ready to proceed with
business.
A resolution from Common Council appointing a
committee to wait upon the Mayor and inform him
that the Chambers were organized and ready to re
ceive any communication he may think proper to
make to them, was concurred in.
Mr. NicnoLsos moved that the election of s nem
messenger be postponed for the present. Agreed to.
Mr. ZAN& then presented a petition from twenty
citizens of the Second ward protesting against Dr.
Kamerly, of that ward : being permitted to take his
seat as a member of Select Council.
The petition was sworn to by three qualified voters
of The ward.
Mr. WEAVER said the petition should be signed by
at least fire qualified voters, when it was only signed
by three.
Mr. ZARB then read an extract from the act of As
sembly proving it to be in due form.
A motion was then made that the drawing of a
committee to investigate the case be postponed till
Thursday next, and be made the special order for the
day at five o'clock.
The motion was agreed to.
A resolution from Common Council relative to
the reception of veteran volunteers was concurred
in.
On motion of Mr. Zeus., the rules of the last Se•
lect !Council were adopted for the government of
the new Council.
Mr. AirmsTrtomo moved that a new manual be
printed, containing the rules, names of members,
heads of departments, and any other information
that would be of use to Councils in the transaction
of business.
Mr. SPERING thought this wax unnecessary, as it
would only incur a great expense, while a supple.
meet might be added to the old manual, containing
all the information needed.
Mr. AMISTROIiEf then withdrew his motion.
Mr. SPERING moved that all unfinished business
referred to standing committees be referred to simi
lar committees when they shall be formed. Carried.
Mr. DAVIS, upon behalf of the committee ap
pointed to wait upon the Mayor, reported that they ,
had attended to that duty. The report was received
and the committee was discharged.
On motion, adjourned.
COMMON BRANCH.
Mr. Pump H. MITTS, Clerk, called the Council to
order, and received the credentials of the new mem
berm. - When the Fourteenth ward was called, he
declined to receive the credentials of Mr. Orem,
who WM elected in that ward, in place of ItEr. h. W.
Adams, resigned. The reason assigned was that the
election was held without authority of law.
When the Clerk announced a quorum, Mr. Ecnr-
STEIN moved that the credentials of Mr. Orem be
received, and supported him motion with a forcible
speech. This led to a debate, when the subject was
postponed, in order to proceed to the election of
President.
Mr. Harper received 22 votes, and Mr. Kerr 17
vette, so Mr. Harper was declared elected.
Mr. Harper was then conducted to the chair, and
the customary oath was administered by Mr. Kerr,
the late President.
Mr. HARPER then spoke as follows:
Fes..Low•ill'inirents : In accepting the charge
which your preference has signitled your desire I
should hold for the ensuing year, permit me to ex
press to you my sincere thanks for the honor con
ferred upon me. It is with great dffidence I enter
upon the discharge of the duties of. So responsible a
position. My expectation of being able to execute
those duties satisfactorily lies in the belief that I
may claim your indulgence for any errors that may
occur in their performance. We are elected, fellow.
members, by the citizens of Philadelphia for the
purpose of transacting the business of the city. Let
us enter upon the fulfilment of the important trust
confided to us with a single eye to its proper ac
complishment. Let us, as mush as possible, discard
from our minds all political bias, and unite to do
our duty faithfully. Honest diffiarenoes of opinion
will undoubtedly arise in the minds of members as
to the beet policy to be adopted when important
matters come before us for consideration. Let ue,
in our discussions be temperate, and award to each
other the merit of honest intentions. With a firm
determination to do all in my power to assist 1n
making our future deliberations result to the benefit
of our airy, I again thank YOU for the honor con
ferred upon me.

A airy CORPORATION NOT LIABLE IN DAMAGES
FOR THE NEOLIGENOR OF ITS CONTRACTORS, OR
THAT OP THE CONTRACTOR'S AGENTS OR SER.
VANTS.
In a one decided yesterday, Judge Strong read
the following important opinion :
Painter vs. The Mayor, Aldermen, &a, of the
city of Pittsburg. Error to the District Court of
Allegheny county.
&ram:o, J.—The ease was put to the jury to
find whether the injury which resulted in the death
Of the plaintiff's husband was or Was not occasioned
by the negligence of the detemeantie centractors, or
that of the contractor's a and servants, and
the verdict establishes that it was. TO this mode of
submitting the case no exception was taken, and
nothing is, therefore, presented to us but the ques
tions reserved. Of there it is necessary to consider
only one, which is whether a corporation is respon
sible for an injury occasioned by the negligence of
contractors with it, or of their agents and servants.
By an act of Assembly of April 2r, 1858, the Select
and Common Councils of the city of Pittsburg were
authorized, whenever they should deem it neces
sary, to cause sewers to be constructed in any street
of the city, and for the payment of the coat levy an
assessment upon the property benefited. In pur
suance of the act en ordinance was passed on the
25th of October, 1858 providing for the construction
of a sewer in St. Clair street, and on the Ist of June,
1869, a written contract for its construction was en
tered into with Allen & Kerr, contractors, by which
they covenanted to build or construct a br ink sewer,
..with all necessary inlets, and to furnish all the mate
rial therefor, for stipulated prices for the excavation,
replacir g over the sewer, removing surplus ma
'Wrist, repaving, for brick and stone work, and for
iron, and they agreed that the material, workman.
ship, and excavation should be satisfactory to the re•
cording regulator. They began the work soon after,
excavated the earth to the depth of twenty feet in
some places, directed barriers to be placed across the
ends and along the sides of the trench, and employed a
man to take care that the barriers Mould be at all
times kept up. Notwithstanding this, however, the
husband of the plaintiff fell into the excavation, on
the night of the twenty- eighth of June, 1859, and
received hurts which caused his death. The verdict
of the juty determines that the injury was not a
consequence in whole or in part of his negligence;
but was caused entirely by the negligence of the
contractors, or of their agents or servants. Is .the
city liable? We think not. The wrong was not
done by any servants of the defendants. There is
no room for the application of the principle re.
spondeat superior. The defendants had no control
over the men employed by the contractors, or over
the contractors themselves. They could not dismiss
them, or direct their work. The excavation was
not illegal, and there was a superior to the work
men, to wit : the contractors.. There cannot be
more than one superior legally responsible. Un
doubtedly there has been much confusion, and some
conflict of decision on this subject, growing out of
the early case of Bush vs. Steinman, 1 Bos. & Put.,
404 ; but that case long-since ceased to be regarded
as a correct enunciation of the law in England, and
both its reasoning and authority are denied. It is
now settled in that country that defendants, not
personally interfering or giving directions respect.
ing the progrem of a work, but contracting with a
third person to do it, are not responsible for a
wrongful act done, or negligence in the performance
of the contract, if the act agreed to be done is legal.
Such is the doctrine of Rapson vs. Cabin, 9 Mem.
Sr. W., 710 ; Reedie vs. The London & Northeastern
Railroad CO., 4 Exch., 243 ; Overton vs. Freeman, 8
Eng. L. & Eq., 479 ; Peachey vs. Rowland, 16 Eng.
L. & E., 442, and numerous other English cases,
In Gray and wife vs. Rubble & Pullen, decided in the
Queen's Bench, April 16, 1863, (Law Journal Re
ports, vol. 32, part 8, N. S,) Chief Justice Cock.
burn asserts it to better common doctrine, that if
a person in the exercise **his rights as a private in
dividual, or at those conferred upon him by statute,
employs a contractor to do work, and the latter is
guilty of negligence in doin g it, the contractor, and
not the employer, is liable. Similar opinions were
expressed by all the judges.
Stich, also, we understand to be the doctrine in this
country, sustained by a decided preponderance oleo.
thorities. It would answer no good purpose to review
the cases at length. The English ones, and many of
the American, are reviewed and commented upon in
Hilliard vs. Richardson,3 Gray, 359; in Barry vs. The
City of St. Louis, 17 Missouri, 121 ; and Blake vi.
Ferris, 1 Belden, 48. The general principles to be
extracted nom them is that a person, either natural
or artificial, is not liable for the acts or negligence of
another, unless the relation of master and servant or
principal and agent, exist between them ; that when
an injury is done by a party exercising an independent
employment, the party employing him is not re
sponsible to the person injured. And the rule tip.
lies with full force to municipal corporations. In
Blake vs. Ferris it was held by the New York Court
of Appeals that the defendant., who had a license
from the city to construct, at their own expense, a
sewer in a public street, and who bad engaged ano
ther person by contract to construct the whole work
at a stipulated price, were not liable to third per
sons for any injury resulting from the negligent
manner in which the *ewer had been left over night
by the workmen engaged in its construction. It was
declared that the immediate employer of the agent
Or servant, through whose negligence an injury oc
curs, is alone responsible for the negligence of such
agent or servant, that the principle of responded
superior applies to him alone; and that there cannot
be two superiors severally reeponsiblein such a ease.
Blake vs. Ferris was followed by Pack vs. The May
or, &a., of New York, 4 Selden, 222; in which
the same court held the city corporation not
liable to third persons for injuries caused by the
negligence of workmen employed in grading a street
under the direction of a person who had entered
into a contract with the corporation to do the work
for a specified sum. The liability was declared to
be upon the contractor alone, and the court denied
that he was the servant or agent of ;the corporation.
It was further ruled that a clause in the contract, by
which the contractor engaged to conform the work
to such further directions as might be given by the
street commissioner did not affect the case, that it
only gave the coporation power to direct as to the
results of the work, without any control over the
manner of performing it, which control alone fur
nishes a ground for holding the master or principal
liable for the act of a servant or agent. Kelly vs. The
Mayor, &a., of New York, 1 Kernan, 432, is another
case in which the same rule was applied. Barry vs.
the City of St. Louis, 17 Missouri, 121, is another
well- considered case a ffi rming ful ly the doctrine.
The corporation bad contracted with one Brooks for
the construction of a street sewer. The contractor
was for an agreed sum to furnish all the material/
and do all the work, including excavation. The ,
contract reserved a right for the city engineer to in- I
'meet the work as it progressed, and watch its exe
cution. During its progress a deep trench was dug,
into which the plaintiff fell at night and was in
jured, in consequence of a failure to erect barriers
and set up lights. The case was very like the pre
sent. Yet it was held the corporation was not liable,
and the general principle was laid down, after quite
a full review of the English and American authori
ties, that municipal corporations are not liable for
damages occasioned by the negligence of contractors.
It is conceded there are a few eases that intimate,.
if they do not declare, a different doctrine, but
they are not the more modern and best consi
dered. During the argument much reliance was
pieced by the plaintiffs in error upon City of
Chicago vs. Robbins, Am. Law Reg., July, 1836,
page 529, which was a hit by te ci to reco
ver from Robbizur what the coypor h ati4Nt ty
had been
compelled to pay tea person injured by falling into
an excavation_in one of the sidewalks. The de
fendant was the owner of a lot, and he had cone
tracted with one Britton for the erection °tabours
thereon, including art-excavation of the sidewalk
adjoining, for the purposes - of light and Mir for the
basement. By the contract, he had a right to-super
vise the work; a flea which he exercised.- He
knew of the dangerous condition in which the ex
cavation was left ; his attention was frequently
called to it, and he promised to attend , to. it.
Nothing, however, was done, and he was heldliable
apparently for his own negligence. It is true some:
expressions of the court appear to recognize a dis
tinction between the liabilities of owners of real
estate or fixed property, as it is called, for injuries
resulting from nuisances on such property, no mat
ter by whom erected or maintained, and liabilities
of owners of other property for the negligence of
their contractors. This distinction ' however, has
been exploded in En land , where it originate d, and
it can be supported by no sound reason :: Milligan
vs. Wedge, 12 A. & E, 7a7 ; Allen vs. Hayward, '7 A
&E, New Series, 960; Reed* vs.-R. R. Cc., 4:Exch.,
244. _
It is difficult to discover any substantial reason or
good policy for holding the: present defendants ye.
sponsible to the plaintiff. The negligence come
plained of was not theirs. It does not appear that
they knew of it. The verdict- determines that the
fault was all that of the contractors. Over them
the defendants had no more control than the plain
tiff's husband had. They were not in a subordinate
relation to the defendants—neither servants nor
agents. They were in an independent employment,
and sound policy demands that, in such a ease, the
contractor alone should be - held liable . In making
a sewer, he has necessarily the temporaryocaupanog
of the street in which the work is done, and it must
be exclusive. His servants and seents-are upon the
ground, and he can more conveniently anti certainly
protect the public against injury from the work
than can the officera of the municipal corporation.
The public will be better protested if ibbe held that
the contractor alone is responsible ler his negli
gence, and that the city does not @tang between him
and any person injured. Thus he will bee taught
caution, while a sufferer by the Degligenee of his.
servants will not be compelled to sesort fot compete
cation to the insolvent servants.
By reason and authority, then, we are led to the
oonaltedon to which the Dbdtict Court came, that
the defendants are not liable foe the negligence Of

Carrying Deadly Weapons.
The killing of the colored man, Perry Thompson,
by Orderly Sergeant Charles Moore, of the United
States colored troops, the particulars of which were
given in full in The /4e8.5 of yesterday, caused to be
zoa s de public the fact that nearly every colored sol
dier who receives a short furlough at the camp at
Oheiton Hills, in order to allow him to visit this
city, carries either revolvers or side arms, or both.
These soldiers, doubtless feel very large in the
United States uniform, but while many of them
wear the "harness" with the dignity always due to
it, -yet there are many who do not, and are, there.
fore, liable to commit excesses that bring them into
trouble.
Many instances are known where colored,soldiers
have gone around neighborhoods where perst,ns of
their own race live and by a flourishing display of
bright swords, or silver-mounted_ pistols, have suc
ceeded in 'rightening everybody from his or her pro
priety. Whole familieg:of colored folks have been
frightened in this way, though the soldiers did not
probably intend to harm them; they merely acted so
tor a little sport. There are other instances where
these men have gone into greemgrocery. shops and
demanded liquor, under a flourish Of swords or a dis
play of revoivers.
This misconduct is a very great annoyance to the
mass Of the colored troops, who know full well the
prejudices that have existed against them br a v e ry ody,
and which they could only overcome by in
the field and gentility when not in active service.
It may be of some service to all soldiers, no mat
ter where they come from, or what the color of their
skin may be, whether white, yellow, black, brown,
red, to know that very recently the judges of the
court decided that no soldier white on furlough and
Mingling with the community, had any right what
ever to °env concealed deadly weapons.
In most of the oases that have recently come un
der the notice of the police authorities, the pistols
were presented by friends, and not furnished at the
camp. The military authorities at Ohelton Bill wild
probably make some investigation into this subject
and act as their wisdom may dictate, in keeping up
the standing and dignity of the men under their
command.

Discharged.
The female who was arrested a short time since
under auspicious circumstances at the house of Mr.
Overshine, at the time the pretended naval ofHoer
Herr was taken into custody, has been discharged,
because, in the opinion of the magistrate, there was
nothing to implicate her in the robbery. A final
hearing of Herr will take piece at the Central Sta.
Lion on next Saturday afternoon.
Fined.
Patrick-Burk was arraigned okthe charge of ob-
structing a passenger railway track. He was dri•
ving on the rads, and would not get off to allow the
car to pass. He was fined five dollars. The law is
very plain in such cases, and any one violating it
seldom escapes the penalty.

SAFES.
LILLIE'S SAFE--THE WORLD'S
iLEIB
PBOTEnToR.
ITS ENEMY—MIK ENEMY OF MANKIND.
ANSWER TO CODICIL.
I notice in The Preya of the 24th December, what I
should term a codicil to the article hobnailed by Messrs.
Evans & Watson of the day previous. headed Importaut
to Merchants. &c. It is true the codicil is placed at the
head instead of the foot of the first article. Bnt I infer
it is to make that lone Lawyer's Cirtificate from the
Lock Haven fire more conspicuous. as it is so new. fresh,
and to the purpose. -
- -
R But does it meet the issue? Not at all. I say lam In
formed from the best authority. that this very safe was
taken out of the building before the fire caught, and was
on the walk or in the street during the fire Is it denied ?
Not at all. It is possible that the fire might have struck
the Ease of the Safe (though on the Walk) hard enough to
melt off some of the brass, and the debris from the build
ing might have laid around it for t*el so hours before it
was removed, and. this Cirtificate amounts to nothing
Mere; besides it is quite common that lawyers state their
client's case strongly in their client's favor. especially
When Well paid.
One other point in this codicil may be worthy of
notice.
• • -.
I see displayed in large capitals. Evans & Watson
against the world and the rest of mankind. including
the ohilled.iron arrangementif. &c. I would like to in
quiie, are they real) , iineaf descendants from that
ancient people or nation • whose hand was to be
against every man ?" Perhaps Stews. E.. & W. will
enlighten the public on this subject.
TEE CHILLED.IRON SATE—THE BANKER'S
TicTOR
. .
It will be seen from a critical review of its history that
not a single Bank Sate made under any of
Patents have been robbed of one dollar by burglars
since its introduction up to this time, notwithstanding
their extended use among banks throughout the United
States, holding and protecting a very large proportion
of the money and treasure of the count
THE CHILLED-IRON SART THE MERCHANT'S PRO-
. . . . . .....
TECTOR, .
.
Pram the same review it will be seen that only five
Mercantile Safes have been evened by burglars among
the tens of thousands made under all of Lillie's
Patents for the last eleven years, and two of them were
opened by driving in the lock, and by drilling , through
the iron ; four of them 'were used by private bank
ers. and all made under the first Patent. and ne rer
designed for bankers' nee by the makers. This shows the
folly of placing a Safe in a higher and more responsible
Position than its maker designed, (a lesson that the
enemy might well study. and learn wisdom. I •
It may bepyoper to say here that iron that would be
considered fairly drill proof eight years since, through
modern improvement and appliances, is now penetrated;
also that equal improvements have been made in the
hardening of metals since, so that the burglar is still
foiled.
But to return to the subject : one of the five safes was
used legitimately by a merchant, made some eight years
since, was in a favorable place for the burglar to work—
not Lillie's make—and the door was drilled and the
powder applied and the loss very small. Is not this a
clear record? Is not Lillie's safe fairly the Merchants'
Protector against burglars? and by the same review
equally and more triumphantly so against fire?
THE.CHILLED IRoN SAFE—THE GENTLEMEN'S
AND HOUSEKEEPERS' PROTECTOR

Among the many thousands of them in nse in Gentle

P. S. —I am now furnishing throe sizes of &Bong

two distinct inside burglar safes, and three of my new
anti-micrometer locks on each safe, believed to be the
only bank lock now in use that has not been picked or
cannot be picked by the aid of the micrometer. These
safes all present four to six inches in thickness of

NOTICE OF LEASING ABANDONED
PLANTATIONS
By Direction of the Secretary of the Treasury, and in
pursuance of the order of the Secretary of War,. I have
assumed the supervision of leasing abandoned lands,
tenements, and houses in insurrectionary States within
the First Agency which embraces Tennessee, Arkansas,
and so much of Louisiana. Mississippi, and Alabama. as
is within the lines of the army o perating from the
North.
I shall go down the Mississippi at once to make the
necessary arrangements for leasing plantations and pro
viding them with the labor of freedmen.
Information as to terms, dic„ wilt be published as soon
as possible. In the mean time, persons desirous of leas
ing plantations for the coming year. may feel assured
that every effort will be made to insure protection to
those working sash lands, and to allow profits commen
surate to the enterprise.
Persons 'with small means disposed to devote their
personal labor, with those employed by them, will be
particularly encouraged,
It is estimated by those who have examined the sub
ject, that she capital required for working one hundred
acres will be about $.3,000 and the net profits about
$lO,OOO, at present:prices of the staples.
Agricultural implements and all other articles used in
cultivating - the plantations, must be firruished by the
lessees.
The freedmen will be forwarded to places convenient
