The occasion was a supper to the men of Go. 1634

CITY COUNCILS.
.u T, ?4 ! J*£ a)ar **»ted meeting of both branches of
th® City Counoils was held yesterday afternoon.
SELECT BRANCH.
President Lyhd (U.) in the chair.
Tbejournal of the last stated and special meetings
was then read. r
Mr. Nicholson (O.) said that as the chairman of
the committee on the reception of the 98th Regiment
P. V. had extended an Invitation to the president
and members of Select Council to participate la the
ieception, whioh was to take place shortly after
four o’clock, he moved that the Ohamber adjourn to
do so.
Mr. Miller (U.) said that if the Chamber ad
journ it will prevent the passage of the-bill from
Common Counoil, extending the city bounty, and,
therefore, it would stop recruiting. The effect of it
would be that New Jersey would obtain all these
men. Let us pass this bill first.
Mr. Uhlrr (U.) said we should wait till they do
come before we adjourn, He had been on commit*
tees when he was required to wait several hours
after the supposed time of arrival. Why should
this Council be present at the reception of this
particular regiment, when those who arrived pre
viously were not attended to 1 One is as good as
another. He felt It was his duty to do honor to
those who are going out, by passing this bounty
bill.
No action was taken at this time on the motion
to adjourn.
Mr. Kino (O.) presented a protest, signed by the
minority members of the Select Branch, against the
notion of that Chamber, in meeting Common Coun
cil in joint convention on Monday last, to elect the
directors of tbe Philadelphia and Erie and North
Pennsylvania Railroads. The protest states that it
was not held at the regular stated meeting, accord
ing to law, or within the time prescribed by law. It
was done by the President contrary to all former
precedents, and without the consent of a quorum of
members. It was done by a minority of this Chan*
her, without law and order. It was a violation of
rights and privileges, and subversive or law and
order. The protest was signed by nine of the Oppo
sition members.
The President said he would not refuse to enter
the protest upon the journal, although in his opi
nion it was very disrespectful.
Mr. Brightly (O. ) moved that it be entered on the
journal. He then spoke for some time against the
action of Seleot Council at the special meeting last
Monday, maintaining that it was all contrary to
law.
Mr. Wbthbrill (U.) said it was evidently an
error, as set forth in the protest. A special meeting
wss called for a special purpose, and the reason for
doing to tu that if it had he™ deferred: till the next
meeting it would bare been iodises. A quorumsof
members answered to their names when called;
they went into that convention with a dear quorum,
and returned with the same. If all who went In
did not vote that was not breaking the law.
Mr. King, (O.) said the protest was offered in the
spirit of right and justice. He was not present at
tbe special meeting on Monday. The journal states
that but twelve members answered to their names,
and tbete should have been thirteen, in order to
constitute a quorum. Why the gentleman from the
Ninth (Mr. wetherill) can insist that the protest
against the meeting, held on the ut, is wrong he
could see no reason. The Select Council is not
competent to do business with a minority of mem
bers.
Mr. Wetherill (U.) said if the gentleman from the
Eleventh (Mr, King) would look at the journal he
would find that fourteen members answered to their
names, thereby manifesting a desire to meet in joint
convention for the purpose of electing these directors.
He nor any other member oan deny this. It makes no
difference if there were but twelve members voting
io joint convention, so that a quorum were present.
The vote of thirty five, whioh was taken in the joint
convention, is a legal one.
Mr, Üblbr (U.) said the moment we met
here, and the olerk announced that a quorum of
members was present, we were perfectly right In
meeting Common Council in joint convention, for
the purpose for whioh<we were called. There was a
quorum there, and if all did not vote that had no
thing to do with it.
Mr. Nicholson (0) termed the whole procedure
sharp practice. The minority members of this
Chamber know their rights, and are determined to
stand by them.
Mr. Armstrong (O.) iaid that while he had a
seat in the Chamber he should take no advantage of
a point to defeat any. bill, but he would adhere to
the law that governs the Councils. He thought that
the action of Select Council last Monday was in di
rect violation of the law. He desired that the pro
test should be printed in the journal*
Mr. Miller (U.) said these gentlemen who are
now calling io loudly for justice, did the same
thing last year) When a joint Convention was held
for the election of the Heads of Departments. There
is a law that on a certain day we shall elect di
rectors of certain railroads. That law is imperative.
The right of a minority to protest is perhaps un
doubted ; but they have no right to make an untruth
in their statement. He would never vote to put
upon the minutes what be believed to be inoorreot.
Mr. Wetherill (U.) thought the protest was
not drawn up correctly, and it should therefore be
withdrawn, for the purpose of making the correc
tions.
Mr. King, (O.), who presented the protest, re
fused to withdraw it* He said the matter had been
fully discussed, and a vote should be taken on it,
A vote was taken, which resulted as follows:
Yeas 2, nays 3. This did not constitute a quorum*
A call of the house was then ordered, which re
sulted in a quorum of members answering to their
names.
Mr. Wktmbill (U.) then stated that the elec
tion for directors ot the North Pennsylvania Rail
road took place in February, and it should have
been done in January. He then offered an amend
ment striking out the obnoxious words, which was
accepted, and the protest as amended was ordered
to be printed in the journal, by a vote of 17 yeas to
5 says.
Mr. Zanb (U.) presented a petition in relation
to the constructing of a bridge over the Schuylkill
river at South street, which was referred to the
Committee on Surveys.
Mr. Riche (U.) presented a petition relative to lo
cating the Robert Morris Hose as a steam-forcing
hose company, they having the required number of
feet of hose. Referred to the Committee on Fire
and Trusts.
Mr. SPBKII.-0 (U.) presented a communication in
reference to the reorganization of the Department
of City Property. Referred to the Committee on
City Property.
Several other communications were presented and
referred to appropriate committees.
Mr. Mii.ler (U.) moved that the orders of the day
be postponed and the Chamber take up the bill from
Common Council, making an additional appropria
tion of $3,000,000 for the purpose of paying a bounty
ol $250 to each volunteer who will be credited to the
quota of this city, required by the last call of the
President, which was agreed to,
Mr. Wbthkrili. (U.) said we have credited to
this city about 3,900 men. Hb'wanted to know
whether each ward will get its full proportion of
ibis number. How are the wards to reoelve their
sharel
Mr. Millkk (U.) said, as far as volunteering fn
this city is concerned, it all arises out of the activity
shown by every person in the ward.
Mr. rficnonsoK (O.) .aid there is a law which
cannot be altered. It gives a person the right to en*
lutln whatever place he desires. If some wards are
negligent in collecting money to secure reoruits, it
is their own lookout, and Couueils had nothing to
do with it. The wards should pay a high premium.
After considerable debate the bill was concurred
in without a dissenting voice.
... Mr. Wethebill (17.), on leave, offered a resolu
tion of instruction to the Committee on Defence
and Protection, to inform Select Counoil what
method should be adopted whereby the distribution
of men and money would be equally divided.
Agreed to.
Mr, Millbr (TJ.) offered a resolution to encourage
volunteering, It pledges the faith of the city to
continue the payment of such bounties as may be
proper from time to time so long as a draft can be
prevented in that way, believing that it is proper
and right that those who do not themselves enlist
should be generous to those v&o peril their lives for
their country. Agreed to. .
Mr. Zanb (U,), on leave, offered a resolution of
instruction to the Committee on Protection and De
fence to pretent, at the next stated meeting, an or
dinance fixing a heaw penalty on any person or
persons who are found selling the warrants or certi
ficates of payments to soldiers at a discount. Re
ferred to that committee.
The election of trustees of gas works was post
poned till four o’clock next Thursday.
Mr. Davis (U.) t chairman of the'Committee on
Waterworks, presented an ordinance making an
appropriation of $6,330 90 to the department for
supplying the oity with water, for the purpose of
paying certain unpaid bills for the year 1863.
Agreed to.
Mr. Miller (U ), chairman of the Committee on
Protection and Defence, presented an ordinanoe ap
propriating the sum of $15,000 to the trustees of the
Philadelphia Gas Works, as a reimbursement to
them for loaning the city the same amount, for the
purpose of pay in g the families of volunteers.
Mt.Wbtherill (U.) offered an amendment to the
same, to the effect that the money be reimbursed
from the appropriation made for the relieving of the
families of volunteers. Agreed to.
The ordinance as amended passed. ‘
A lengthy report from the same committee was
received relative to the survey of the city under
Professor Bache, and ordered to be printed.
Mr. Zanb (U.) offered an ordinanoe appropriating
the sum of $l,OOO for the purpose oi printing a
manual for the use of the members of Councils,
Keferiefi to toe Committee on Pristine and Sup-
Mr, Davis (U) offered «n ordinance authorizing
the opening of North and Carlisle atreet. which
was refeired to the Committee on Highways!
Mr. TJhlbb (U.) offered an ordinance appropria
ting the sum of $l,OOO to supply the police station
houses in this city with surgical instruments and
stretchers for wounded persons, the same to be under
the supervision of the Committee on Health. Agreed
to.
Mr. Miller (U.) presented a resolution Of In
struction to the Committee on Finance to take into
consideration the report of the committee appointed
to verify the cash accounts of the City Treasurer
on the 10th of December, 1663, and report whether
any or what action could be taken in the matter.
He said that there was $4,000 interest on thja
money, which had not been accounted for. The City
Treasurer denied that it was not the city money,
but he thought he did not deny that it was not the
public money.
The resolution was agreed to.
Mr. Zanb fU.) called up the resolution looatlng
certain steam fire-engine companies, which was
postponed from the last meeting.
The Washington Engines, of Frankford and Ger
mantown, and the Western Engine Company, of this
city, were added; and, on motion, the resolution
was indefinitely postponed.
The resolution from Common Council, increasing
the salaries of the clerks in the office of the Receiver
of Taxes, was concurred in, and also the one in
creasing the salaries of the Superintendent and As
sistant Superintendent of the Polioe and Fire Alarm
Telegraph, and the assistant clerk of the Mayor.

Mr. Gbay (U.), from the Committee on Finance,
made a report on toe subject of extending toe city
bounty to volunteers. A communication was en
closed from Mr. Dawson, secretary of the Bounty
Fund Commission, In which it was stated that there
had already been paid out 4,463 bounties, of which
only a few hundred were xe-cnUsting veterans. The
muster-rolls of the latter were now beginning to
come in. New reoruits were presenting themselves
at the rate 160 to 300 per day. In order that all
who offer may rewire toe bounty, It is necessary to
make a further appropriation. The committee re
commend toe adoption of an ordinance making an
appropriation of two million, of dollars.

day, February Ilth, for the purpoee of electing bead,
of department.. Adopted.
Mr. Obawvobd (O.) offered the following:
& solved, by the Select and Common Councils of Phil**
delphic t That the Committee of Safety and Defense
be directed to communicate with his ExocUenoy, A.
G. Curtin, Governor of Pennsylvania, and ascertain
if there is any record in tfao state department by
which our citizens can learn the es act quota of
volunteers the city of Philadelphia is required to
furnish agreeably to the proclamation of the Presi
dent of the United States, dated October 17th, 1863,
and February.i, 1864, in order that the Councils of
Philadelphia may take prompt measures to provide
a loan, or otherwise legislate to pay the bounty, in
order to secure the said quota as soon as this is au
thoritatively known.
The resolution was referred to tbe Committee on
Defence,
Mr. Loughltn submitted the formal protest of
the Democratic members of Common council against
the action of Council in admitting Mr. McCurdy as
a representative from the Twenty*fourth ward.
The resolution of Select Council, tendering the
use of Independence HaU to General Pleasonton,
was concurred in.
The Committee on Markets reported an ordinance
cresting a new olerkibip, with a salary of $3OO per
saßum, in the department.
The President having decided that the protest
against sdnittios Mr. McCurdy should be placed
upon the journal Mr. Evans appealed from tbe
decision, arguing that the protest, being disrespect
ful in its language, ought to be laid upon the table.
* Mr. Louohltw contended there was nothing dis
respectful in the language of It wa. a
mere statement of faot. At any rate, the pro teat, of
a minority should .lway.twpl.oedupon the jour
zisl in accordance with the rule of Councils upon
th Mr Ub EoK9TBrK (TJ. ) MW nothing diaroapeetfal in
the protest. Thote who signed it might be eincere
in their conviotloni. If their opinion, were different
bom thee of the patty in majority, they were not,
on that account, disrespectful.
Mr. Habybb (TJ.), leaving the ahair, explained
why he ruled that a protest of a minority should be
placed uppn the journal. He said that the follow
ing was tbe ruletaken from Zeigler’s Manual, whioh
governs this body:
“if a member desires be may enter at large upon
the journal tbe reasons which have influenced him
in giving the vote he docs. It is true this course is
not often pursued, but the right exists, and it can
not be taken away from the member who wishes
to exercise it. To place reasons upon the jour
nal for votes given, requires not the ooneent of
the house, for the rule gives the right; but it is al
ways usual for the member, or members, to rise in
their places, and state to the house that they will
place the reason for their votes upon the journal.”
On tbe question, shall the chair be sustained, the
vote was as follows:
Yeas— Messrs. Adams, Crawford, Eoksteia, Gray.
Harrison, Kerr, Loughlin, Muffin, Pealo, and
Shera—io.
Nays— Messrs. Aregood, Barrett, Billington, Brady,
Briggs, Bumm, Oreswelt, Evans, Everman, Gratz,

THE POLICE.
[Before Hr. Alderman Baffler.]
More of the Policy Raid.
At the Central Station yesterday, eleven persons
were arraigned on the oharge of dealing in lottery
polioies. The action of toe constituted authorities
in thus attempting to break up the business of sell
ing lottery policy and lottery tickets, will meet with
the greatest commendation on toe part of the put>-
110. The task is herculean, but it may be performed.
It requires energy and legal aagaeity, both of which
are happily identified in the person oi the present
able District Attorney, 'Williamß. Mann. The defen.
dsnti have in toe person of Lewis C. Cassidy an
able defender. Thus toe trial of the parties will be
warmly contested, and the result will be looked for
ward to with more than usual interest. Of the
eleven arraigned yesterday at the Central Station,
tlx of them were discharged: the other five were
held to hall to answer at court. We present below
toe evidence elicited, from which toe reader may
form a correct idea of the oase.
Caspar Witman, the principal witness, was called
to the stand. He selected itom the eleven, five men
whom he alleges have been, or are engaged In the
policy business.
Mr. Harvey was a writer of policy books about
twelve or fourteen months ago. Mr. Meyers re
turned books ae I did. Mr. Johnson wrote in his
ofilce some years ago in the Arcade; he has an office
on Seventh street, near, the gas office; I met him
one day, some three or four months ago, coming out
of an office on Fourth street, opposite Harmony
court; I asked him how toe policy business was,
and he replied “tolerable.”
At this stage of toe proceedlngstoe prisoner John,
son advanced to toe witness stand, and asked per.
mission of the magistrate to ask the witness a few
questions, This request being granted, he said:
11 Did you ever see me write a policy I”
Answer. I did not say I did. It is known to the
whole community that you sell; lave heard people
say Jobnson was struck for this or that much; have
often heard such expressions.
Prisoner. Are there more Johnsons in Philadel
phia than met
’Witness. Well, you sell policies,
The prisoner, as well as the witness, began to ex
hibit considerable warmth of feeling and the inter
position of the magistrate stopped toe proceedings.
The witness now turned around, and discovering
a man seated on'a back bench said H there’s White
hall, he writes a book and beeps a policy offloe.”
Sarah Conner wac now caUed. Un being sworn,
she testified that she Uvea in Castle court, running
from Sergeant street; I have bought polioies from
John Meyers ; I bought them on toe 22d or 33d of
last month; he keeps In Elder alley opposite Cat
tle court,
Mr. Cassidy, who had not taken any active part
up to this moment, requested that Mr. Witman be
called again ae he desired to question him.
Mr. Witman was recalled.
Question by Mr. Cassidy: Mr. Witman, what
did you say to Mr. Johnson on the day you said you
met him coming from an office on Fourth street, op
posite Harmony oourt 1
A. I asked him how his book ran.
Q. Then, air, why did you saythat you asked him
how the policy business was. Now tell us exaotly
what you did say. Mind you are on your oath i
A. I said, “How is toe. business 1” and he said,
“ Pretty good.”
Q. What else did you say 1
A. I asked him if he was through with his busi
ness, and he replied, “ Yes."
Q. Well, now, did you even mention the word
polioy to him 1
A. Well, I
Q. Well, what; now think a moment ?
A. Well, I knew he was in the business.
“Is that all,” Inquired Mr. Cassidy.
Mr. Mann, Distriet Attorney, now questioned the
witness, as follows:
Question. Did you see Mm take a book into the
office 1
Answer. No, sir.
Q. Did you see him bare a book on that day ?
A. No, sir.
Q. Did the tell you, or did anybody else ever
tell you, in his presence, that he had a book ?
A. No, sir.
Q. Did be ever tell you he had aold policies with
in two years I
A. No. sir: but be—
Q. Never mind; did he tell you that he had made
returns 1
A. No, sir fl asked Mm if he had got through with
his business.
“Well,sir,” said Mr. Mann, “you spoke in a
general aort of a way; you alluded to the business
of policies, without mentioning the wordl”
Yes, sir, something like that, I meant the policy
business when I asked him,”
“Well, never mind what you meant, we want
facts,” said Mr. Cassidy.
" Now, sir,” continued Mr. Cassidy, “ when did
Mr. Whitehall return a book!”
A. Within two years, can’t sar when.
Q. Did you see Mm with a book!
A. Yes, sir, a sheet of paper wrapped up.
Q. Do you know what was in it?
A. I saw Charley Catteral take and open It, and
the book and money rolled out.
Q. Did you ever see him on any other occasion!
At this stage of the proceedings thepriioner arose,
and advancing, asked the privilege of propounding
a few questions.
Q. Sir, did you ever see me before!
A. Yes.
Q. Whereabouts!
A. In front of a tea store, near Third and Chest
nut streets.
Q. Did you ever see me engaged in the lottery or
pollcybuilDesil
A Have seen a carrier bring to you—
Q. Did you ever see me sell a lottery-ticket or
polioy!
A. Well, I oan furnish yon plenty of proof.
The accused here said that he never sold a policy
or lottery ticket: that his son once kept a tea store
near Third and Chestnut streets; that son entered
the Anderson Cavalry, and was killed in battle. The
witness ia mistaken, and can prove nothing more
than he knows himself. I have never been engaged
in toe business which he has sworn to.
Mr. Csssiday asked for his discharge, to enable
liim to enter a suit for perjury.
The defendant, however, with toe others, was re
quired to enter bail in the sum of sl,ooo to answer
at court.

Interesting Case of Conspiracy.
A young man representing himself as one of the
< eteetlves in the secret eerviceof the United States,
was arraigned yesterday afternoon, on the charge
conspiring with others to cheat and derraud.
The complaint was entered by Charles Shlok,for

informed him of the base proposition, and wanted him
to arrest the fellow; Mr. Clark advised me to turn
detective my self, mid act my part as though I would
go into the blockade business s I then saw defendant,
and had considerable conversation with him; I said
that a good steamer could be purchased tn Philadel
phia for the purpose, but the steamer was never our
ohAßed; About eight weeks sinoe I met the defendant,
and he said he did not want to treat with me any
more, because, he said, I could not act secretly; that
he would get another man; some time after this the
defendant called upon me, and said that he was em
ployed by an insurance company to say that the
steamer " Cooper's Point," the vessel that was lost,
wae unseaworthy, and, therefore, being unfit, that
the iesuranoe would not be paid; he made overtures
to me that he wanted me to pay him something to
have the matter settled to the aavantageof the own
ers of the steamer; she was owned by a druggist
who keeps a place of business at Seoond and Cal
lowbiil streets.

Col. Segebwth has been employed by the Govern*
ment, to do certain business centring at Hilton
Head, South Carolina, alt of which was perfectly
legitimate, and which he discharged with fidelity to
the trust reposed in him.
Mr. J, O. Vandyke, counsel for the defendant, in
progressing with his cross-examination, travelled
outside the bounds of what the alderman considered
the rules of evidence. The counsellor exhibited
considerable warmth of feeling The alderman ex
pressed a determination to confine the coonseller to
the rules. A war of words ensued: the parties
waxed warm; and the magistrate finally triumphed.
The next hearing of the case promises to be de
cidedly rich and interesting.
