AN ADMIRABLE ADDRESS. —The following
is the admirable address delivered by Ohm J. Still°,
Esq., at the dinner given by the lefties of the Soldier.'
Reading-room, on Twentieth street, to the veteran
4 29th Regiment P. V., on the sth inst.:
Q./firers. Lion-Commisaioncd 01ficers, and Primates of
the MTh Regiment:
On behalf of the Lady Managers of the Soldiers'
Reading•Roorn, I bid you a hearty and cordial wed-
Milne to these rooms. This 15 an wanstial vacuole
here. We have been long accustomed to receive
here your Dick and wounded comrades, and to extend
to them lush graceful hospitality as woman's warm
heart alone knows how to otter to those who have
been etticken down by disease and wounds Sa the
service Of our colintiy. But our eyes are gladdened to
day by the sight of a band of brave heroes, who
-have passed unscathed through the terrible ordeal
-of fire to which they have been subjected, and seem
'to us now robed only in the panoply of glory, who,
faithful to the badge which distinguishes them, have
borne is triumph the whim-starred flag of our coun
try on the bloodiest battlefields of this great war.
The mires of Philadelphia desire to testify their
sympathy and admiration for you, their glorious
brethren; ofyou, whose deeds of valor they have
rea d of with swelling pride and gratittide ; of you,
whom they have followed in your long 'aerate,
your weary bivouacs, amidst the perils of the battle
fields, with their most fervent pray er to the Giver
of all Good, that he would be pleased to take under
His tender care and sure protection those who had
gone forth at the call of our country, to defend its Go
vernment and protect ue in our liberties and
homes." Soldiers of the gallant 29:h! we are
proud of you as Philadelphians, as lovers of our
country, and of freedom. As co-workers in our hum
ble sphere in that great cause, for which you have
periled your lives, we bid you a right hearty wel
come.
It lies been my lot to witness many magnificent
military spectacles, the most brilliant, perhaps,
being that of the entry into the city of Paris of that
grand army which fought and conodered at Solferino.
But no military display has ever awakened in me
half as much enthusiasm as your welcome home on
Wednesday week, as I saw you borne along in
triumph by your proud countrymen—escorted
lovingly by your valves sad your sweethearts. I
thought of you at Winchester, where you received
your baptism of tire ; of tee many battlefields in
Virginia which your valor has helped to render il
lustrious ; of that perilous hillside at Gettysburg
where you stood between us and destruction. and
when on that fearful Thursday night and Friday
you hurled back in confusion - the rebel
hordes or Johnston, and Rhodes, and Early ;
Of that last fitting scene of the grand drama
when, scaling the heights of Lookout Moun
tain with a desperate gallantry that has few
parallels in history, you planted, first among
the foremost, the glorious banner of our coun
try upon its sunnier. When I thought of all
these things I thanked God that I had a country
which was the mother of a race of heroes. And
when I saw that dear flag, at once the inspirer
and the witness of your gallant deeds, its glorious
tatters AL emblazoned with Us story of your bril
liant achievements, I felt as I had never felt before,
that I had a country worth loving and living for,
and I felt it was impossible to honor its heroic de
fenders too highly, or to cherish them too tenderly.
In such an hour I looced around for those who have
told us that we have no longer any flag or any
country, but the brilliant eunlight of your glorious
presence had driven these wretched reptiles into
congenial darkness and obscurity. As I thought of
these degenerate sons of our dear common mother
testing her bleeding heart while you had gladly
naked your lives lest the breath of pollution should
come nigh even as much as the hem of her garment,
the deep curse of the poet upon him who is fake to
his country in the day of her trouble mounted to my
lips :
"Per him no minstrel's rcptures awellt. -
High though his title,. premi bis name.
BouhdieAs his we.ith a, wish can claim.
Despite those titles p wet. and help,
The wretch concentred all in self,
Shall forfeit fair renown.
and. doubly olying.'slia 1 go down
To the Tile dust, from whence he sprung,
trawept. unbonored. and. unsang_"
But We cannot forget that when we have spoken
of your past deeds 'we have acknowledged only a
small portion of the obligation we owe you. We
understand that you return to your homes for a
brief period only, to fill up in your ranks the places
of those martyr. who have fallen at your side in
the holy cause of our country, and that you are
soon to go forth again, like giants refreshed, never
to lest until you have planted your white-starred
banner in the very citadel of the rebellion. For
this noble self-devotion and telt sacrifice, for this
glorious example, we have no words to thank you.
As there can be but one highest motive for such de.
votion— love of country "—so there can be but
one adequate reward--the approval of your
own consciences. But we cannot Ve restrain
ed from telling you of our admiration and
gratitude, nor from expressing our most 'ardent
wishes that you may soon return to your homes,
your brows crowned with garlands in which the
oliive branch of Peace may be lovingly twined
with the laurel of Victory, happy in the conscious
ness of great duties fitly performed, held in perpetual
honor and reverence by those in whose stead you
have suffered, and last, ffut not least, welcomea by
the approving smiles of those dear ones who Will
tell you, in words which you see even now written
in loving light in thirbright eyes and warm hearts br
those who surround you, "none but the brave de
serve the fair." We cannot doubt that with such a
glorious past, and such ativauspicious future, your
thinned rankswill be speedily filled with noble youth
eager to share your illustrious name and honor. As
the voice of our country calling for Mixer in its hour
of need has never yet failed to find its responsive
echo, so now, in answer to this last appeal to achieve
the ruin of the hideous monster tottering to the fall,
let a grand consentient, universal shout of devotion,
in emulation of your noble example, come up from
the great heart of her children, the sure harbinger of
a glorious triumph and a speedy peace.
sound the trumpet ! sound the are
To all the aeneual world ororlaim
One crowded hour of glorious life
Is worth an age without a name."

SELECT BEANCIE
President Lynd in the chair.
The reading of the journal of the last meeting was
dispenseds with. Several communications were then
pretested and referred to appropriate committees.
A =ceases from his Honor the Mayor was then
read, returning, without his signature, the bill pro
'Mir", for the proper Cleansing of the streets and
highways of the city. He says the re
are too many
contractors required, and the system makes it too
much to their interest: As he recommended in a
previous message, he still thought that Mils duty
should be assigne d to the Board of Health; but if
Councils should not think tide proper, a distinct
munioipel department should be eroded for that
PeThelle.
air. filimono (U.) hoped there would be no
action on the bill at the present time. He thought
it ahould be postponed for at least one week. He
Wanted to have month time to reflect upon the re.
commendations of the Mayor. He was in the dark
about this matter. He taw good features in the
bill abet was pagan and some bad ones.
Mr. KING (D.), said he wee opposed to the post
poning of en action that would remove the ashes
and dirt that have accumulated in the streets. He
in was favor of giving contracts to the lowest bidder.
The motion to postpone was lost.
On motion to pass the bill notwithstanding the
objections of the Mayor, the bill Fell.
Wirrmiumi. (U.), moved that the veto be re
ferred to a special committee of three of the Select
Chamber. Agreed to.

(U.),said he wished to make a
few remarks in regard to a nom yard at League
Island, which would employ the time of the cham
ber for a while longer. During the past summer a
few men have purchased about a thousand acres of
land on the Delaware front, below Cheater, and have
exerted themselves to a great extent to gain from
the Government the location of a navy yard there.
Immediate action is now required from these Coun
cils. He wished a 'resolution would be offered by
some of the National Union members, is this chain.
ber appointing a committee to take.this matter in
ch Mr. arge.
Gummi) (U.) said, at this particular time,
those men whom we have sent to hold up the inte
rests of the State look entirely too much to self.
He thought that when a committee is appointed to
investigate this matter they should closely scruti
nize the acts of those whom we have elected to Con.
glen. He hoped that Councils would rake some
action upon it. Philadelphia has been very liberal
in her tender of $300,000 to the United States. She
is as well calculated for this purpose as any other
city in the Union. He then offered atesolution sug
gesting the appointment of a committee of three
from both branches to visit Washington, and urge
upon the authorities there the great advantage and
importance of the acceptance of League Island,
which this city has freely offered, for she location of
a navy yard and national foundry..
The resolution was amended so as to make the
committee five instead of three, and, as amended,
the resolution was agreed to.
s: Messrs. Ginnodo. Richd, Sparing, Armstrong, and
Nicholson, were then appointed as the committee
from Select Council.

amendment.
The petition of the citizen. of the Second ward
contesting the election of Mr. Karnali (D ) as a
member of Select Council from that ward was
taken up.
Mr. Mum= (U.) said it was his belief that it the
matter is postponed the petition will fall.
Mr. Zeita (U.)jsaid, if there is amanifest desire on
the part of the Democratic side to prevent the draw
ing of a committee, they can do so by refusing to
vote.
Mr. KtMaRLY (D.) said, that in the appointment
of a committee there is a choice of men. There are
some he may object nd again there are some he
may not object to. Ms is the only reason why he
suggested the delay.
The roll of members was then called, and the name
of Mr. Bich° (U.) was not answered to, although he
wax present. This was done in order to give an
equal number of votes to both parties.
The names were then placed in a box, and the fol.
lowing gentlemen were drawn: Messrs. Baird,
Davis, Hodgdon, King, Manuel, Marcus , Miller,
Nicholson, Omerly, O'Rourke, Fouling, Sparing,
and Weaver, from which the following committee of
Mx were selected to decide upon the contested elec

Omerly, Fouling, and Weaver.

Mr. NICHOLSON (D.) presented a resolution in

hour.
Mr. EiLEXANDICR Elaaren. ( J.), President, in the
chair.
A message was received from Mayor Henry, veto
ing the bill making an extra appropriation to the
Clerks oi Councils for extra services in 1863. The
reasons urged for vetoing the bill were the same as

The Gentleman frost the Twenty-fourth
Mr. ERIOOS (U.) Submitted a preamble and reso
lution relative to the seat of Isaac Leech, from the
Twenty-fourth ward, setting forth that John B.
McCurdy had been elected by A majority of the votes
cast at the election held is October, 1862, and that a
committee be appointed to inquire into the facts and
report to Council.
Mr. KERR (0.) contended, at some length, that
this motion was entirely out of order ; that it Is too
late to enter into a contest now. The time allowed
by law in ten days;
they have long p asse d away.
There was but one certificate presented at the time
the last Council was organized. The blunder com
mitted was that the contest was not entered within
the ten days.
Mr. ECKSTEIN (U.), in reply, remarked that the
certificate, as presented by Mr. Lewitt, was a base
fraud; it was,in fact, AO aertifieate at all ; he had
been informed by on, of the Judges that the certifl
este hskd been made out for a constable, and as such
he had signed - it. After this, the certificate was
altered to Common Council. Mr. E. alluded to the
trial in court, whichac i dted in the conviction of
the judges, who were a rty to the fraud ; and upon
this fraud the sitting me ber, Mr. Leech. still re
tsina his seat.
Mr. LOUGHLIN (O.). spoke against the resolution,
and contended that it is entirely too late to contest;
and, inasmuch as the gentleman from the Twenty
fourth ward is not in his smat, he moved that the
further consideration of the subject be postponed for
one week.

Mr. Bruges ( H.) now gave reason at some
length. He desired to call the filtration of the mem
bers to the fhot that this subject no limply the ap
pointing of a committee to investigate a fraud, and
report to this Chamber. Why should there be op
position to this measure? Do the gentlemen of th e
Opposition fear an investigetiont Do they desire a
postponement, in order to allow the gentleman from
the Twentrfourth ward an opportunity to object in
person to an investigation ? Does this Council de•
sire to grope in the dark? Do the members wish to
close their eyes against truth f In conclusion, he
hoped the motion would not prevail.
The yeas and nays were ealled—ayel 1, nays 25
the Opposition refusing to vote. A quorum, how
ever, bed voted, and the motion was lost.
On the question to adopt the resolution, Mr.
881G1C413 spoke at great length, and taking a retro
spective view exhumed from the record of the lest
oouricil the fact that Mr. Duffield was expelled
without notice ; not even was there decency enough
manifested by the gentlemen of the Opposition to

coarseth one of groat, glaring fraud. all e appointment of a committee. This is fair.
Be for one, was in earnest. He did not wish-to sit
here to vote with any one who holds a seat by
usurpation; he did not wish his good name tainted
with being recorded with any one who holds a seat
here by trend. Justice is certainly due that man.
If the charges are untrue, let them be so Droved, and
the name and character of the man will some out
brightly burnished, and he as pure gold. If the
charges are true, then why - should any one here,
sworn men, whose oaths are registered in heaven,
attempt to shield the fraud? The question involved
in this subject is this, that if a great fraud has been
committed, is there any justification in continuing
that fraud ; can we, as honest men, close our. eyes
against the truth /
Mr. PAINTER. (0.) said that it would appear that

Mr. Hasa (O.) moved to refer to the Committee

Mr. ECKSTEIN (U.) offered a resolution declaring , '
the Beat of John S. Painter vacant.
Mr. 'LOUGHLIN (o.) moved to adjourn. Not agreed

The resolution offered by Mr. Eckstein was now
read. It sets forth that John S. Painter Was elected
all a member from the Sixteenth ward, and that he,
having removed to the Tiventieth ward, forfeits his
right to a seat here. The resolution instructs the
clerk to strike the name of Mr. Painter from the list
of members.
Mr. Herm (0.) moved a reference to the Commit

An uninteresting debate ensued on this, which re
sulted finally in referring the resolution to a special
committee of five, Mr. Eckstein chairman.
Mr. Diemen (U.) offered a resolution relative to
the drainage of the city, and to report a more proper
system. Referred to the Committee on Surveys.
Mr. HAYES (U.) oftbred a resolution of instruction

Mr. Bums (II.) offered a resolution providing for
the change of the name of Columbia avenue, from
Frankford road to Delaware river, to be called Han
over street.
Mr. BUMM said there are duplicate numbers of
houses on Columbia avenue east and Columbia ave
nue west; in fact, there are two Columbia avenues.
Letters, package., and other things are often taken
to the wrong avenue.
Mr. Kann (0.) said the difficulty was in the num
bering of the houses, and not the name of the street.
Mr. WILLIAMSON (0.) said this is important to
business people, and the resolution ought to pass,
and thus remove the difficulty.
Pending the consideration of the above, Council
adjourned.

The Pennsylvania Company vs. Ann Gothman,
administratrix. Error to District Court of Alleghe
ny county. •
Chief Justice Woodward yesterday delivered an
opinion in this cue. The policy is this instance
stipulated expressly that it should be void and of
no effect if the assured should neglect to ‘tlisclose
the amount and nature of all encumbrances, or fail
to obtain the consent of the Company to any encum.
brance that should be executed upon the property
insured, or any levy of execution upon it during
the life of the policy. What is meant by this stipu
lation about' consent" to encumbrances and levies
is explained in the 6th clause of conditions, which
requires the assured to give immediate notice of ail
encumbrances to. the Company, to pay such addi
tional premium as they shall determine, and obtain
their written consent to the continuance or the
policy. If property, either real or personal, is un
encumbered when sured, but becomes encumbered
or is taken in execution during the life of the policy,
the premium is deemed inadequate, and the company
must have the opportunity of charging an additional
premium, and therefore the stipulation for notice of
such inoumbrance or levy is a substantial and ma
terial part of the contract. It does dot involve a
question for the jury as to an increase of risk. The
policy assumes that the risk is increased, and hence
the necessity for an increase of premium. And this
assumption on which the contract is based - is justified
by all experience, for encumbrances diminish the in
terest of the assured in the property, and levies dis
turb his possession, and both these things Increase
the risk. * * * * * * The policy
in this cage was dated 25th July, 1860, but took
effect from 20th June, 1860, for one year and wen
upon hotel furnitdre, and upon a barn and stable
on the premise.. Tian - it was shown in evidence
that on the 19th June,lB6o, the sheriff had levied
two executions amou nting together to near $3OO on
the personal property, and on the 28th Jtily, 1860,
another execution, amount not stated, was levied
on the same goods, and that these levies were un
disposed of when the fire occurred on the night of
28th September, 1860. It was shown also that in
her application, Mrs. Gothman had Stated the en
cumbrance on her real estate to be $3,000 on ten
acres of ground, worth $lO,OOO, but that they
amounted in fact to $8,173, and that the realty sold
for $5,706,75. Upon this evidence the Company
budated that Mrs. G. had been guilty of a bream
of warranty in misrepresenting the liens on the real
estate, and the court below got entangled in nice
distinctions between warranties and representa
tions. What had misrepresentations about real es
tates to do with this insurance on tavern furniture ?
The executions were liens on The goods insured, but
the liens alluded to in the answer, to interroga•
tories were not, for these were judgments merely, or
other securities, which constituted only liens on the
realty. If the ,interrogatory was broad enough to
Include the liens of the executions, the answer must
manifestly have reference to real estate, and, there
fore, was irrelevant to a policy on personal goods,
and, consequently, irrelevant to the Issue on trial.
The judgment is reversed, and a venire facial de
novo fie awarded.

Dir. Ourraon, counsel for defence, in addressing
the commissioner, said that he did not think there
wee Nufn dent to warrant the binding over. In re

dilapitated clothing, at 114tyers & Claghorn's auction
