A large meeting of the Union League members was held last evening, which well presided over by bit. Adolph Soria Morton McMichael, Esg , was then canna upon to speak. He first expressed his regret that the explanation of the object of this meeting devolved upon him, feeling eensiderably indisposed. The meeting was called by the board of directors, at his suggestion. Last October, in. the State can vass, the speaker saw unmistakeable indications that' the sentiment of the people of Pennsylvania was concentrating in favor of Mr. Lincoln's re-elec tion as President of the United States. Wherever he went, in canvassing the State, there was an earnest feeling in this respect, and at country gatherings everywhere that feeling was particularly Manifested. Never before, even in the sec md nomi nation of Mr. Jackson, or for the nomination of Mr. Clay, was there a more united and general ex pression of this sentiment. At the opening of the present session of Gangrene the speaker was there. He had freely conversed with prominent men of all regions. Especial' ysi ace the reception of the President's message to Congress among theca, this feeling is intenstiled. This senti ment being the sentiment of Pennsylvania, it be. hooves the Union League to take notion noon it. We could not be first, for Indiana and New !Limp- Shire have anticipated us. Our Legislature hsve shown us that Mr. Lincoln has their support for re election. The Union League, therefore, entertain ing the convictions expressed in New Hampshire and Harrisburg, should put itself into due relations with the movement before us. Shall the League lead or follow? Shall it be first or second I That this question may be answered by the League, this meeting has been called. Throughout the whole country there should now be an expression of opi nion that no room should be left for doubt. Mr. McMichael did not enter into 'any exam( nation of the C/Allllll of Mr. Lincoln. It was en. necessary. Between now and next November, if life and health were spared, he should do so many time,. To him we are indebted for the clear skies we now enjus when the heavens are blank and the storm rAges, then the pilot who rescue* life and pre serves Property ie entitled to the gratitude of those whom he has preserved. [Long applause ] And such a pilot and saviour has been Abraham Lincoln. When the staunch timbers of the Constitution, that for three•quartets of a century had held together, were straining and starting, and half its crew was in mutiny, this pilot saved ns. [Applause.] And though the ship is yet tossing, we feel that the perils are nearly otter. the storm is subsiding, and the ship will be saved. [Long applause.] Mr. McMichael now read the following !mill liens Mareas, The still. courage. MUM! and integrity with witch, in a period of unparalleleArial. Abraham Lincoln has conducted the administration of the Na tional Govan ment.have won for him the highest esteem and the most aff..ctionate regard of hie grateful country men: Anti 21':terms, The confidence which all loyal men ro tate in his honesty, hie wisdom. and his patriotism rhonld be proclaimed on every snitable occasion. in order that his bards may be ettengthened for the important work he has 3 et to perf. rib : And whereas, The Union League of Philadelphia, com posed, as it is, of those who, having formerly belonged to irarlons parties, in this juncture recognize no party but their country: and representing, es it does, ail the industrial. -mechanical, manufacturing;corn memial. financial, and profe.aional inter& to of the city. is espe cially qualified to give, in this behalf, an unbiassed and authentic utterance to the nubile sentiment : Therefore. Besot rtd, Thai to the prudence. sagacity, comprehen sion and perseverance 01 Mr. Lincoln. under the gal dance of a benign Providence ' tne nation is more in debted for the grand results of the war. which Southern rebels have wickedly waged as afoot liberty and the Union. than to any other single instrumentality: and that he is justly entitled to whatever reward it le in the power of the nation to bestow. - Resolved, That we cordially approve of the policy which Mr. Lincoln has adopted and pursued, es well tee principles he has annannced as the acts he has per med t and that we shalt continae to give an . earnest and energetic sum rt to the doctrines and measnres by which his administration has.thne far been directed and inns treed. R-soled, That as Mr. Lincoln has had to endure the latgest shale of the labor required to suppress the rebel lion, now rapidly verging to Disclose, he should also en joy the largest share of the honors which await those who have contended for the right- and ae in all respects he has shown preeminent ability in fulfilling the ra (mirtmetts MIAs great office, we recognize with Plenum the unmistakable indications of the popular will la all the loyal States, and heartily join with our fellow citi zens. without any distinction of 'amts. here and else whtre, in presenting him as the People's candidate for .no Presidency at the approaching election: _Resolved, Ths t a committee of seventy-six be appoint ed, whose duty it shall be to promote the obj act now proposed, by correspondence with other loy el organize- Cons, lee stimulating the expression of public opinion. and by add aerial modes shall in their judg ment, seem beet adapted to the end; and that this c on mitts° have power to supply vacancies in their own body, and to increase their numbers at their own dis cretion. BPSOillea That a copy at these prorevlinge, properly nerested and attested, be forwarded to President Lin coln; and that they aleo be published in the loyal news• peters The reading of the resolutions was followed by applause. Tegether with the preamble they were unanimously - adopted amid enthusiastic applause. Mr. William D. Lewis, when silence was restored, remarked that he could scarcely think of intro ducing any other business to night, but on behalf of prominent members of the Sanitary Commission, alto members of the League, he would offer the fol lowing resolutiona: Whey tar. It ie the duty of every loyal citizen to contri bute a portion of their m, ens in orr er to minister to the real. and increase the comfort of the brave men in arms to.nstain our country 's cause ; and. Wharer,e, Sanitary Fairs recently held under the an spices of the S.nitn . ry Commission. in Chicago ciacic mai, and Botton, have produced large sums in aid of this important and patriotic work.- and, Whereas, The city or Philadelphia has never been be hind any other sisters in devotion to 'he interests of the soldier. whether on his way to the battledleld, or when et; eiched down by disease or wounds in the service. Resoled, That the Union League strongly rEcommend to the Piiitadelphia branch of the U. S. Sanitary Com mission ttbb organize here, under its auspices. a Sanitary Fair, the proceeds of which shall be devoted by the Com mission tot romoO3 the health, comfort, and efliclincy of the soldier in actual service. . . .Reaaved, That the members of the League win exert their interest to secure contribotions to such a fair. sous to insure the same great results which have attended the experiment in other cities. The resolutions were then unanimously adopted. It was then announced before the assemblage that General Meade was in the lower parlor, and would there receive the members of the League. The effect of this was a hasty adjournment to that part of the building where the hero of many hard-fought battles was, and then ensued a hearty hand-shaking time, which was indulged in by all who desired the honor. In accordance with the wish of General Meade, no public movement has been made by our citizens to testify Philadelphia's gratitude to him as a soldier and patriot.

Callahan.—This case was heard a few weeks ago before the District Court in bans, as a case stated. It seems that the defendant pur chased at public sale, some time anise, a certain pro perty, at the price of $90,000, plaintiff having previ ously contracted with him to " execute a gotod and sufficient deed in fee simple." The deed of convey ance having been prepared, and presented to plaintiff to execute, a question arose as to which party should pap for the stamps required by law to be attached to the deed, the cost in this instance be ing $lBO. Aftersome discussion, plaintiff paid for them under protest, and brought the matter before the court. On the question at issue, Judge Share wood, a few days since, delivered the following opi nion: • • McCredy vs. Callahan. Case stated. The opin ion of the Court was delivered by Sharawood, P. S. The question presented now is, whether the vendor or vendee-under a contract "to execute a good and sufficient deed in fee simple," is bound to pay for the stamps. The case states that "it has for many year. been the custom in this city that pur chasers of real estate furnish the deed." The eon. tract here is not that the vendor Wien prepare, bUt execute the deed. if it had been the former it would have overridden the custom. But as it does not, we see no reason to refuse full weight to such a usage. It is a reasonable custom. It saves all dispute as to the style, manner, and verbiage of the deed, whether it shall be written or printed on parchment or paper, whether the searches shall be more or less minute. Eventually we know that all taxes and expenses at tending the transfer of property, fall on the seller. The purchaser, if he calculates closely, includes the expenses of obtaining the title, in his estimate of the price which be will give for the property. Judg ment for plaintiff, $lBO. Court of Quarter Sessions—Judge Allison. Commonwealth vs. Major R. J. Falls. This was a prosecution for assault and battery alleged to have been committed by the defendant on Charles West. cott, re eidinrat 2118 Winter street. The defendant is the officer in charge of the conscript barracks cor ner of Twenty- second end Wood street'. The facts, as they appeared from the evidence, seam to be these: On the 16th of December last a substitute, named John James, went into Westoott's plane to take a drink. While there a by-stander asket West cott, who was behind the bar, to change a ten.dollar note for him. James, without being solicited, of fered to change the note, and did so. Upon going to the barracks the ten dollar note was discovered to be a counterfeit or altered note. Major Fags, on being informed of the affair, sent for Westcott, and upon his identification of the substi tute, had him placed in the guardhouse in irons, though Westcott denied having had the altered note in his possesion, or knew that it was counterfeit, or had anything to do with the transaction at all. Ac cess by his friends to see him was also denied, Ma jor Falls stating that he "had him where the dogs could not bite him, and he intended to keep him there." The major did keep him there the whole of one night, and part of two days, and until the matter having been brought to the notice of 11. S. District Attorney Coffey, that functionary addressed him a very plain note, informing him that he had transcended his authority in incarcerating a citizen who, if he had committed any offence, it was not against the military authorities, and not punisha ble by them. Mr, Colley demand6 n the surrender of the alleged offender to the civil authorities, to be dealt with as might seem proper. Westcott was accordingly handed over to the U. S. civil authorities, and after an investigation of-the charges against him he was discharged. The defence was that Major Falls, in ordering the prosecutor into tjre guardhouse, was only for the purpose of keeping him safely until he could be sur rendered to the civil authorities; and a letter was put in evidence, from Major Falls to Chief Dales tive Franklin, written the day of Wertoott's ar rest, detailing the facts of the case, and requesting him to call and take Westcott into custody, but that he failed to come. The jury rendered a verdict of guilty. POLION. [Before Mr. Alderman Beller. 3 Larceny. Joseph A. Drexler was arraigned on the charge of the larceny of the sum of about seventy dollars, be longing to Garret Penrore. The points in this case are, that the defendant and the prosecutor were seated in conversation with each other at the Mont gomery House. Mr. P. had the money in his pocket, and it disappeared. There being no one near him beside the defendant, the suit was instituted. De fendant offered to compromise, but the alderman informed him that such a course Would not be strictly legal. The accused was committed in de fault of $l,OOO to answer at court. EBefore Mr. Alderman White.) Singular Case of Larceny. Levi Holmes was arraigned before the police magistrate of the Fifth ward, on the charge of the larceny of a watch valued at fifteen dollars, the property of fdlss Maly Mama. It seems from the -evidence that the ilefindent called to see the young lady at her residence, on--Saturday night. He asked her to let him see her watch; she complied with his request. The young lady had 00061110 n to absent herself a short time, and as she was about returning, the defendant was about going out of the door. She asked him for the watch, and he replied it was on the mantelpiece. On looking there, it could not be found. Hence the suit. The young man admitted, at the hearing, that be had taken it, and said he would tell where it was, if the suit was not prosecuted against him. The magistrate objected to any arrangement of this kind, but suggested that he had better return the watch if he could. The prisoner then, in com pany with Constable Mead, proceeded to the yard of a house. The watch was found buried under the snow behind the hydrant. The time-piece was thus restored. The defendant was committed, CBefore Mr. Alderman Godbon..] Alleged Robbery- John Gallagher was arraigned yesterday morning on the charge of stealing the sum of $l6O, belonging to Mr. R. Patterson, residing on Race street, near Twenty-third. The defendant was in the employ of Mr. Patterson and it is alleged that he took the money from a dress of Mrs. P. 'While she was enjoying a sleigh ride with her husband. The evidence is simply circumstantial against him. He was held in $l,OOO to answer. [Before Mr. Alderman Haines.] Alleged Gambling House.
