looked more gay than on thla occasion. It H " l *

ttan chief and some ofthe reporters.
wrMgemenl. he made may be put down under
tt At nmmtbSe were several thousand people in
Srnnt ofthe building, and nearly as many In the rear.
The window* and balcony of the American Hotel
trere filled with ladies, who testified their appreoUu
tion of the event by the waving of handkerchief*,
while the old flag waved gaily in the westerly breeze
from, the many staff* and prominent bnildings in the
vicinity* The scene waß inspiring. It was well
~ calculated to fan the spark of patriotism in every
hosom« and to awaken the dense multitude to deeds
of enthusiastic devotion to our country.
A few minutes after 12 o'clock the members of the
Select and Common Council, and Heads of Depart
ments, entered the Hall, and arranged themselves, as
urtal upon such occasions, in a semicircular posi
tion, each one being uncovered.
At half past 12 o’clock the mighty shout ofthe
pec pie outside announced the arrival of the distin
guished guest of the city. Double lines of polioe
weie formed from the curbstone to the Hall door,
thus forming an avenue twelve feet wide.
General Meade* and a number of his staff were
conducted up this pathway by JamesXiynd, Esq.,
Who, upon entering the Hall, introduced the guest
to his Honor Alexander Henry, Mayor of PhiladeT
phis-
These interesting preliminaries having thus been
ao far conducted in a perfectly dignified style, and
the usual rounds of applause having been given,
- _ MATOB HENBY,
in a clear tone of voice and firm, delivered the fol
lowing ipeeoh of welcome:
GaiTERAis DCxadb; Your visit to the city of
Philadelphia, although intended alone by yourself
for the endearments of home,' has afforded to your
ffeUow-citizens an opportunity for a public recogni
tion of your signal services, and for expression of
the grateful esteem in whieh you are justly held.
Por fills purpose the Oounoilt of Philadelphia have
invited you to the Hall of and in
their name I bid you the welcome that la due to
every champion in our country’s cause, but to none
ao fitly as to the successful defender of the State
within wbioh this venerated edifice is reared. [Out
burst of applause.! Such civic testimonial of re
spect can but inadequately evince the gratitude of
4hi« community toward the able leader and the in
trepid soldier* of the Army of the Po tom ft c—in at
am, before whose concede a ptoweesthe roe qn»'led
with inetineUve dresd ss they confronted its firm
rsiks upon the glorious heights of Gettysburg.
aun.l. h„ the Fourth day
of Tnlv been of special note. The presence in
who.fTrnii.tand snathe memorials that surround
o nr*the earlier day, when the inspiration of
ISSiow give fort? this hall that greud creed
lor all humanity, whose truths, passing the oompre
henjrionur thoir teachera, are at length, after three
generations of unbelief, finding acceptance, through
the baptism of Mood, as the vital, essential tenets
loj ourtational perpetuity- [Applause ]
1 o the memorable hours of the later anniversary
the gratitude of those who now greet you can bear
xe&dv witness. The remembrance is still fresh of
that joy which filled every loyal heart and beamed
from every loyal eje-a joy almost too great for bo
lief or utterance—-when the morning of that day
Drought the glad certainty that the rebel invaders
].»i< been overthrown, and that their broken columns
were fleeing in dismay from the soil which had been
polluted by their tread- [Applause ]
jHemorv* can yet vividly recall the fervent thanks
which ascended to the Giver of all victory and the
Tich benisons that were invoked from His hand upon
the brave defenders of our State. No untoward
tunes or ungrateful devices can rob you of the proud
distinction that was then acquired, or can cancel the
«nduiicg obligations of our country to the gallant
Armv that under your leadership gained new renown
in the hard-won conflicts of Gettysburg. [Great
applause, and cheering outside.]
in xetuning to the arduous duties of your high
command, Dear with you the assurance ofthe hearty
confidence of your fellow-citizens of Philadelphia,
a 0 f the special interest with which they must
ever view each success you shall achieve in advan
cing your country’s flag. Garry also with you the
aelfevident truth that not one sinew of this people
ft— been weakened or over strained in their gigantic
efforts to maintain their just cause. After three
years of incessant warfare, there is to-day no lets
determination to preserve this TJnion, no less ability
to effect that purpose, and no less faith in the sure
jesult, than when rebellion first bid defiance to the
Federal power. [Applause,]
General, I offer the cordial congratulations
ofyour fellow-citizens, and their earnest wishes for
your undimmed prosperity and honor.
GENERAL HEADS,
In response to the eloquent tribute of the Mayor,
aald he could scarcely say how he felt, how much he
was overcome by this unexpected honor, as he had
come to Philadelphia to be a abort time with his
family. He thanked the citizens of Philadelphia,
through their representatives, for this, reception.
Sometimes he thought that too much importance
was attached to his humble efforts in behalf of the
XJLion. To his officers—brigade commanders, regi
mental commanders, and company commanders, but
more particularly the heroic bearing of the private
aoldiers, the great success of the army is due. [Great
applause] If he had not the support of his soldiers,
not all the military skill in the world could succeed.
He deaiicd that the credit should be given to hi» army.
Afiti the battle of Gettysburg he fully appreciated
the service*.cl that army which Is sometimes called
uniuztunate. When the record of that army be
comes fully known, it will appear that it is one of
the most sallant and determined that the world
ever saw. “[Renewed applause-] As a statistical
fact, he would state that since March, 1861, not less
than lOC ICO sien had been killed acd wounded. He
thought the record would show what that army has
done. When the season for operations commences,
will b-s bis duty to agaiu lead that army to the
held, audits- will feel greatly inspired whenheknflws
that hie efforts are appreciated. [Applause.] The
Qc: era! conduced his remarks by again returning
thr.cks for this reception, as it was through him
thfc medium of an intended honor to the brave men
who compose the Army of the Potomac.
*lhe main doorway was now thrown open, and
the mode of egress pointed out by a detail of police.
The mighty Uue of population rushed steadily
through the apartments, and the General was com
peLeato endure the public infliction of being shaken
by both hands. It was a great sight to see the
nnlciers in the mighty rush. They shook the hand
of their commander with joy. He had a cheery
word for them all as they passed along in the
human current.
There was many & God bless yoUjGeneral, showered
upon his head during the time he was the recipient
of the grand public ovation.
Board op School Controllers.—A
staled meeting ol this Board was held yesterday
afternoon.
A long communication from principals of grammar
schools was submitted and read in reference to
mal aoministration of the Gina’ High School, and
especially complaining of the manner of conducting
the semi-annual examination. The memorial al
leges that the cause of complaint is not a near one.
Could the qut stions for the last five years be pre
sented it would be evident that the questions are
framed to exhibit the erudition of the examiner.
Ex par-fence has tl<6«ui iis that ibe probability of a
question on any fact is m the inverse ratio of its im
portance. The pracricai bearing of this on teaching
is most irjuiious, compelling the teachers to waste
the time of our pupils in attention to unimportant
detail to the exclusion of that which would benefit
them through life. As proof of this, in the July ex
amination, two questions ia Constitution, ox- one
fiftii of the whole examination in that branch, were
on *he number of JKeprecentativea from each State.
We have endeavored to remedy these evils, but in
Vain. No ore will deny that our complaints (con*
ticue the teachers) were well founded, in reference
to the definitions, comb.nations, and mensuration,
and that ten tietcry questions, one of which took a
page of foolscap to answer it, are open to strong
objections. Our objections were made known to the
proper authorities, namely, the High School Com
mittee. They were fully sustained before the prin
cipal of the High School ana the chairman of its
committee, and acknowledged to be correct by the
former. And what redress did we obtain 1 Siamly
to have the gross outrage of Thursday u%oa
the committee of princiaJi, who had labored to ob
tain justice for the candidates. We now appeal to
the Board.
Many scholars did not attempt the second mensu
ration, which was equivalent to withdrawing. The
entire delegation from one school were withdrawn
by their parents on Friday morning. When scholars,
after months of the most arduous toil, voluntarily
relinquish the prize that is within their very grasp,
rather than submit to such injustice, something must
be done.
The following communication was then read:
Girls 1 High axd Normal School,
February 9,1864.
To the President and Members of the Board of Control: .
Various insinuations have come to our knowledge,
thiough the public papers and other sources, impli
cating our course in the management o? the exami
nation ol candidates. In justice tq the princi
pal of this school and ourselves, we (the teachers)
have the right to demand that such insinuations
should appear as formal charges, so that we may be
placed 1 in a position to meet and refute them. We
would, therefore, ask as an act of simple justice,
that no action of the Board of Control bs taken
until such opportunity is afforded us. We hold our
selves responsible to you, and to you alone, for the
faithful discharge of our duties, and wo hold you
responsible to see that justice is done us.
Signed by the teachers.
A communication was also read from the parents
of a number of candidates for admission into the
Girls' High School from the Haneook School, com
plaining of the manner in which the recent examina
tion was conducted, and giving the reasons why they
caused their daughters to he withdrawn altogether
from the examination. The girls, it was stated,
wete given such questions as could be answered
only by devoting an entire day to them, without
dinner or other refreshment. The suocess of candi
25Jf«?~ re * 0 l v * :d itself into a question of physical
on ® of mental superiority.
°f *he Ninth school section, in re
ference to the same subject, were read, and charge
that the priccipal of the GirW High School ha3not
r ? EM ? m,kt School teachers.
ThequestioLS of the recent examination were not
prepared by Mm, as he Mmielf had admitted though
the rules ol the Board of Control require him to ree
that no question i* asked except itbe found in toe
regular text books. The Ninth, section .Wor!
were of the opinion that the questions in menaur?
?ion were ambiguous and absurd, and one oc them
the principal himself could not answer.
A communication from the Fourteenth section, of
similar import, was read.
Mr. Sfaippen said that the question of toe compe
tency and fitness of the Principal of the Girls' High
(School was one demanding earnest attention. He
offered a resolution, appointing a special committee
of five to examine the subject, with instructions to
report upon the same at a spedal meeting two weeks
Otter comxnuaications of minor importance were
presented, and referred to the proper committees.
The Committee on Accounts reported bills amount
ing to $3 692 45, whioh were ordered to be paid.
The committee appointed to examine into the
eauses of toe dismissal of Samuel T. Hay, Principal
of Liberty, TJr classified School, Twenty-fifth section,
repoited that Mr. Hay had been discharged without
oanse.
A resolution attached to the report called for a
public examination or candidates for the principal-
resolution condemns the appointment of
_ W new teacher in toe place of Mr. Hay os a flagrant
abuse, and until toe matter is corrected, all supplies
-will be withheld from the sehooi. 1
The resolutions were adopted.
Mr. Shlppen offered a resolution that inasmuch as
Mr. Duffy was not elected toe Principal or the Li
f>erty School, his salary be not paid.
The objection to the pauage of tht« resolution w .,
grounded upon the theory that Mr. Dufly wa« not
Seated by hi. otto Action, bat obeyed the will of a
Jloard of Director, who placed him in tbe position
jthe disapprobation of the Controller* of the election
of an incompetent person had already
end here it might rert. Mr, Steppe"i and _ others
thought that no hill should be psid
gaily, though the puMicbad reaped a benefit from
the contract. The resolution was agreed -itoDtton

Mr. Freeborn offered a resolution that the result
of the examination in the Girls’ High School be
withdrawn for the present.
Mr Potter offered resolutions urging upon Coun
cils the necessity of erecting suitable public school
buildings in lieu of the many damp and unhealthy
ones now rented for the purpose. Adopted.
Mr. Weaver offered a resolution permitting the
Twenty-fourth school section to hold one session in
the schools of that section. He said he was per
sonally opposed to the one session, and had offered
the resolution under instruction*. Referred to the
Committee on Primary, Grammar, and Secondary
Sohools. , .
The Committee on Text Books recommended
the introduction into the primary schools of the
“ object system ” of education.
Mr. Vaughan moved an amendment, that the sys
tem be introduced into one primary sohool of each
section, subject to the approval of the Sectional
Board. Adopted. , , . .. _ -
Also, that gymnastics be introduced into the Dub*

Agreed to, and the Board adjourned.

THE POLICE.
Burglary.
The residence of Mr*. Hall, 1733 Market street,
wm entered by thieve* some time on Monday night,
and $7O in United States Treasury notes, a gold
WAteb, and a number or ailver coin (Spanish) were
stolen. An entrance was effected through the rear
seooiid'Story window. The family were aroußed and
called the police, but none came. The reason may
be assigned for this is, that the police are entirely
too few in number. Our city haß greatly increased
in size and population since consolidation, yet there
are not now as many polioe officers as there were ten
years ago. There ought to be at least 1,500 police
officers on duty at the present time, instead of a lit
tle over 600. Burglaries may be committed almost
with impunity in some parts of the city—not be
cause-the policemen are not efficient, but simply be
cause there not enough of them.
