•NTHUSIASTIC MEETING
IKING-WOMEN. : r
- «<*« npper saloon at Jofforson Hall,
Christian streets, was fiUed-to overflowing
iy fhe women wko hayßrjbeen working on the arso
tial work. It;was orderly, .-and very-enttiasiastle.
Tim women Have entered iinto the work wltha de
gree of earnestness that almost Insplressucoess, It
Was an adjourned meeting from the year 18S1, The
president, Mrß.;MartKa_yeage retook the ohair at
-7K o’clock, and called the meeting to order.
The oall having been read, Mrs. Yeager said that
.the subject which has called us together this eve
ning la of mors'lmportanoe than it was In the year
1861, when we met in Temperance Hall, on Second
Street. We find that. In oonsequenee’bf the contract
system, that our work is gradually diminishing, and
we are likely to be leftta the mercy ol heartless
contractors. [Applause.]
Some of these .are aliens; and should they bs
drnfted uncer the military law they would claim
exemption on the plea of alienage, while bur hus
bands, fathers, sons, and brothers Have to go, in
honor and duty, to fight the battles of our country,
while these very aliens would grow rich upon their
very blood. It is not necessary to expatiate.
Wo must be brief when’ “traitors brave the
field.” [Rounds: of applause.] Oar business is
to make a direct'appeal to the President of
the United States, , who . will listen to us.
As the presiding, officer of the meeting in 1861, 1
have called you together this evening. I have in
voked a reunion, for in union there is strength, and
all that Is necessary at present Is to paßs resolutions
In order to bring directly before President JUlnooln
our business, and then await iha issue. We have
no time to lose. Moments are of- diamond value, -
and therefore;’in order to expedite our buslnoss r the
Secretary will read the preamble and resolutions
prepared for this occasion:
Whereas, There seems to be'a very extraordinary and
increasing desire on the part of contractors to monopo
lize the work of making, up the army clothing for thftf
Government of the United Mateo; and
Whereas, It is -impossible forsome of the said con
tractors to do full justice to the Government, but must
necessarily reduce the rate of wages for labor to starva-'
tion prices, and-to -curtail the measure of the material
used in making up the work; therefore,
Pesoieed, we respeOtmllj caU the' attention of
the-Dmted Mates Government to 'he fact that the cone
tract system, to tome extent, is arrayed against honest,
labor, and that in the Immense increase or business
the most honest inspectors of clothing,- as made under
this system, may be deceived.
Resolved, As a matter of simp'e justice, we earnestly
solicit (hat he made between the wo'h
that we aw ever ready and competent to fnrhiHh, by
obtaining the material directly at the arsenal,’'and that
made In many instances by'cOh tract.'
Resolved, That the , lowest is generally the meanest
Of ali bidders, and requires the mo it sleepless watching.
Resolved, That we appeal to Abraham Lincoln,''the
President of the United in whom, we recogniz e
an honest man, the noblest work of God, and trust and
£jinly believe he wilJ have the arieual work restored,
EAppianfiel, ' . • ' ~ :
Resolved, That: the officers of this meeting be re
quested, and they are hereby instructed, to .proceed to
Washington at once, and present to:Fi'eaidant Lincoln a
copy of these proceeding* > . 1 .
Besolwd, That the president of this assemblage be
requested to cap a.imblie as speedily as poa- :
fiihle, to announce tbq result of.the interTlew with the
Pnaideat of the United States. •*
These resolutions were unanimously adoptedf
. Mrs. Brooks delivered a brief though very: pointed
address, willed frequently elicited _ rounds of ap
plause. This lady said tbattke work had been di-
Win ishfng at the - arsenal lor some time,'and now it
Is all gone except shirts,"and these are offered
to us at the expense of the -poor old shirt
maters. The women on military clothing
can make up all the shirts In two or four weeks
that are now to be made up, and then there will be' no
wore work for anybody. Must We'first starve the
poor Old ehirt women, and then ourselves 1 How
hasit been at-the arsenal 1 ' When application is
wade for work, we are first'asked, Have you a
Sewing machine!: If we reply no, then we are re
jected. Why Is this 1 Are men there interested in
sewing machines 1 *Let me give you a Hat of the

Tli 6So are the two rates. Now, the Government
Shakes nothing by the contractors. Now, what are
We going to do in snob a case as this? The women
Who can do four or five timos the work that is given
eat, are supplied with a bundle of shirts which
yields ns $1.44 per week, WtH that keep you ? It
will not keep me, I Can assure you. Who are some'
of tho oontractors? ..Theyskimp their workvthey
cut the capes short, the 'waists : short, and
then If anything Is Bald, they blame the women who
make up the work; and are ready to swear that they
stole it. .Yes, that's it. Now. let us mage the Go
vernment know ;who we are, by appealing to its
Executive in person ; I’ll warrant you that our old
Uncle Abraham will not'turn a deaf ear tons. Our
relatives have fought for the country, many of
them are killed; but there are many poor wo
men, may-be, who have no relatives in the
war; they ought to: have work, and there will
he plenty for all If the arsenal is only put .to, the
fullest capacity. We had Colonel Grosman there
once, who was our friend; now wo have a New York
colonel who woulffllke to take'the whole arsenal to
New York, no doubt. Thera are 8,000 names on the
books at the arsenal. Many of them are the names
of mothers of nine children—l suppose that we
might say four children to every one —that makes
thirty-two thousand children to support. We
' have eight thousand men either, In the field
or killed In battle. What must we do? . Why, go to
the superiors ofithe arsenal men. Wewill go to the
President of the United States, and from him down
to the very lowest officer, until we get our just
rights. We ask for - nothing more. [Applause.]
General Jackson was the friend of the women.
[Applause] He looked out for the widows: what
would he now do were he President of the united
.States? -He would enlarge the arsenal for us, and
hang about half the oontractors, [Laughter and
applause.]
Mrs. Davison made a few remarks, She said that the
law was still the same, but it is violated every day,
The law iß.to keep the arsenal full of work—keep it
In full blast; but wbat kind of a blast do we see ?
Why we are the.ones who are blasted. Lot us have
the right kind of a man there to give out the work,
lam sorry wo have lost Colonel Crosman; he was
the man who did his best for us.
- ■. Mrs. Yeager, the president, said that the working
capacity or the; arsenal is this: We can make
64,000 pants and" 60,000 sack coats per week./ Now
what does the Government gain by,advertising for'
proposals ? This, requires time, but by giving the
' work out directly from the arsenal we oan make It
up in less time, and make it better. This we know.
We want St. Louis; ■ New .York, Wilmington,
Heading, and every other place to have some of the
work, but we want our share; . We don’t want Oon
traetwork, - ' . :
Mrs. Brooks said: No! we want arsenal, work,
and that we will have, or dio in the attempt to get
it. [Applause.] We dqn’t want contract work;
we don't want to starve by inohes, while contractors
are loading themselves down with bushels of green
backs. lam glad to see such a big meeting as this.
It shows we are not dead. [Applause.] We are not
contractors ; we are not of those women who take
contracts. This .we want everybody to know. : We
don’t want to take work out by the, thousands, but
we want it regularly, and as fast as we can make It;
this we have a right to, and will, In the name of our
soldier husbands, sons, and brothers, demand or dleln
the attempt. [Great applause.]
‘ Mrs. Yeager, Mrs.-,Brooks, Mrs. Davison, and-
Mrs. Alexander, were appointed as the committee
to go to Washington.
The meeting was a very large one, the stairway
loading to the saloon being filled. It adjourned to
meet at the call of the president, Mrs. Yeager.

Increase the bounties so as to Svoida
draft. The document .eetsforth that agents In our
midst uro paylngjlrom five to six hundred dollars
for men to be oredlted to different counties and to
New Jersey,:,.
On motion, the rules were suspended, and Mr
Van Cures (U.).presented In place an ordinance
supplemental to the ordinance making appropria
tions to volunteers. -The. bill provides as follows:
•To men enlisting, and credited to the city quota—
*4oo for one year,-s46o;;fprttw6. years, and $6OO for
three years. It .also! provides -that $3OO be paid to
enrolled citizens who furnish a substitute, i
Mr. Taw Clryb said tUat Bucks county had
filled its quota by paying, S4QO, r bounty to one-year
men. In this olty bTut'ifew.ehllstments were being
made, the average, not ; being Soho a day,' He con
sidered conscription as a last resort in a republican
government, andfwas In favor of paying sufflolent to
fiidu'ce veterans to refenllst,.
Mr. Brightly (0.-)> doubted the right of the City
Treasurer to pay the amount unless an appro
{wlatldh of another,million or million,and a half was
made.
Mr. Vis Clzvb (U.) said it was Ms intention as
soon, as the quota was ascertained to offer a bill
making an appropriation to fillup the deficiencies
required. y
..Mr.ZAKB (TJ.) thought that the bounty was not
tho difficulty, in the way of rearnlting, but the
knowledge or how many men each,.ward had to eon-,
tribute was the Impediment. As soon as that was,
determined the people would awaken to their In
terests and enlistments would bo rapid. - He hoped
the ordinance would be withdrawn fora week.
, Mr.BmoHTLv (O ) moved to refer the bill to the
Committee on Delence and Protection.
Mr. Van Olbvb (U.) said he had been Informed
.that the draft had been made on the basis of 450,090,,
as the Government wanted 300,000 men for the field.
The quota for this olty would certainly not be less
tban 8,000. i
-'ri Mr.: OattbiA (TJ.) hoped the bill would not bo
postponed. Mr. Bosengarteof one of the commis
sioners, had called upon him and Inquired if any
resolutions • were to be presented relative to the
bounty fund. ‘ ■ The'printer’having made a mistake
in the blanks, be was delayed m printing others
until It was seen whether this meeting of Oounoll
would make any change.
.The motion to refer to the Committee on Defence
and Protection was not agreed to—yeas 4, nays 18, ■
Mr. Oattisll moved to amend the bill by Inserting
that the substitute must be furnished prior to the
draft, In order to obtain the $3OB, and to serye three
years. '

A communication rrom the Unlef Boglneer of the

priating $1,57l 64 to pay'certain ground rents, &0,,
due In 1864. Tho bill was passed.
Mr. Oattkll (D.), chairman of the speolal com
mittee to whom was assigned the duty of proceeding
to Washington, reported'that the committee had
held a conference with Henry C. LOa. Esq.', who had
received a letter from the ProTflst Marshal General,
stating that In making up the quota of the Eastern
district of, Pennsylvania the term of service of a
great many men was unknown to the Department,
and consequently they did hot enter Into the'oredits
given to the city. The necessary Information having
since been received, the oredlts would be given, and
the enlistments of December, 1864, also added
thereto. The oommlttee desired to report progress.
Mr. Oattbll read in place a supplement to the
bill reorganizlng the police department of the city.
The supplement provides that the Mayor oDall ap
point one hundred additional men, to bo distributed
,in such districts as the Mayor may deem"proper!
- Mr. Cattbll related severallinstaßCes of the old
gang.of Schuylkill Bangers having committed va
rious outrages on citizens, such as robbing women
of their shawls and knocking them down, The Chief
of Police had done all be could to stop the outrages,:
'but there was not sufficient men to guard the wards
lying Inlthe outer districts.
Mr. Spkeing (TJ ) thought the defielenoy lu the
appropriation for this year would be one million of
dollars-for municipal purposes alone, / He,thought
that the Mayor could take at least twenty-five men
from some districts and send them to tho rural
wards. ' - : ■■ . - .
Mr. Omkrly (U.) moved to strike out 10s and
insert (60. Not agreed to—yeas 6, nays 12, The

■ Mr.:MA»UBL (TJ.) offered a resolution fir tho ap
pointment of a select commit tee to report whether
any Of the pnbllo buildings owned by the city can',-
without detriment, bo adapted to the purpose of a
Houso of. Correction. Adopted.
The bill from OommonUouncll, making an appro
priatlon to tbe Board of Controllers. to the Puolla
Schools for tbe year 1805, was taken up lu Com
mittee of the Whole, Mr. Gray In the chair.
, Mr. Biohik (TJ.) moved to postpone the bill one
week. Not agreed to.
Mr. RtToniß (TJ.) moved the following amend-:
ment: 11 For such Increase of salaries of tfiale teach-'
■ era as maybe determined by the,Controllers, not
exceeding twenty,per centum increase on, the sala
ries now paid, the sum: of twenty 1 thousand: and'
forty dollars.” -In advocating the amendment he
said tha tlf the schools wore closed these teachers
could make their fortune. The law requires them
to be married men, and he could not see any logical
comparison Between the Increase of the pay of these
gentlemen, and that of policemen, watchmen, and.
othtis. A school teaohor should be au educated
gentleman, and the pay now given them was wholly
Inadequate to their support.
Mr. Barlow (TJ.) said there were about 1,300
teachers, of. whom about ninety were males. If
this amendment passes, let the money be given to
thOße ,(some nine hundred dn , number) who receive
from $BOO to $360, and under, and not to those who
now get'from $lBOO to, $2,260, If the .amendment
was to : increase the pay of assistant teachers, he
would cheerfully vote,for it.'" ""’
The subject was discussed at considerable length,
and the amendment sustained on the ground.that
while- the male teachers had large families to sup
port, the rules forbid any save single females to be
employed as teachers.
Hr.-FsKEMAN (TJ.) moved the committee rise,'
report-progress, and ask leave to sit again. The
motion to permit the committee to sit again was not
agreed to—yeas 5, nays 10. Adjourned.

A communication was received from Strickland
Kneass, Chief Engineer and Surveyor, in reply to
a resolution Instructing him to report the reason
why the iron superstructure of the Chestnut-street
Bridge has not been completed, as per terms of con
tract, (The communication sets out that'there have
been, many unavoidable delays, and, amongst
others, the inclement weather has rendered It Im
possible to make the castings, which can only be
done In the open air. ; l‘he 'contract also requires
that tho work should be done by Philadelphia me
chanics, and it has been found difficult to get the
work done as speedily as desired by reason of nearly
all Philadelphia mechanics being engaged upon
Government work. All the work will be ready, for
putting together about the first or April next, and
in from three to four monthß after that time it is
thought the bridge will be ready for publlo use;

Mr. Maboeb (U.) presented a communication

Mr, Bk4dt (U.) offered an ordinance for the ma
cadamizing of Broad street, from Columbia avenue
to Germantown road. Referred to Committee on
Highways.
Mr. Evbbmak (U.) offered a 'resolution instruct
ing the Department of Surveys , to have surveyed
the property belonging to the city at the northea’st
corner of Beach and Shackamaxon streets, extend

lneiuding the > wharf; at Shackamaxon' street, and
that copies of such survey he deposited in the office
-of the Department of Citw property. Passed. ;
THE PIES DBPABTMEKT.
, The order of the day, being the appropriation to
the Eire Department Jor the year 1565, having ar
rived, the ordinance was taken up. ■
Mr, Sijipsoh (U.) moved to strike out the Item
making an appropriation of $4OO to each of 'the fol
lowing companies: Columbia, Friendship, : Reli
ance, Spring Garden, and Western Engines; These
hand engines were of no ues to the city, and were
never even used. , .. -
The motion was lost.
A motion to strike out the hose companies was
also voted down. '
. Mr. Simpson opposed such a large appropriation
as ;was contemplated. There were too many fire
companies. The damage done by water was In most
cases larger than that done byfire, and it had been
found, over and over again, that if there were fewer
fire companies the loss at fires would be oonsldera
bly.diminlshed; and if any: one were to attempt to
interfere with the firemen at a fire, it.was well
known what kind of a reception he would get. Gar
Fire Department was, called a volunteer fire de
partment, but the expense of'maintaining It was
four times as much as a paid -fire department eonld
be maintaised for.
Mr. Wolbkrt ,(0.) defended the Fire Depart
mrnt; the expense of maintaining It was less, than
in the city of Boston, where, there were fewer com
panies.
Mr,. Evahs (U. j moved to striko out from the
15th section the Independence Engine Company.
Mr. Wolbbrt, (O.) asked why that motion was
made.: ; . w .... ■
Mr. Evahs (U.) I ; make that motion because I
oohslder that company a rowdy; ruffianly set of
men and a disgrace to the fire department.
Mr. WOX.BRRT (O.) There is not a company
whloh.the gentleman who has just sat down would
rather trust with the safety of his home and family
than that very Independence Fire Company. The
gentleman has attacked this company, not to-day,
but often beiore, and he will find that the oftenerffie
attacks them the stronger theywill bo. He differed
with some.of the companies in politics, but he never
opposed any of them. He did not expect'to got
votes from,them, and.it \was a shame that because
that company differs from him in politics he gets up
here to deprive them of the Appropriation made to
them by the committee oh the subjeot;
The following Is tho ordinance as passed: ’
The sum of $101,625 is appropriated to the Fire De
partment for the year 1866, as follows:

BHAMEF (JL BUSINESS.
•Toseph Pulty, a young man,' was arraigned yes
terday, on the charge of conspiracy and malicious
mischief. The following facts were elicited: ’Two
aged maldenTndles named Moore, of very respeota
blo character, oooupya portion of the house at No.
2000 Brandywine street. They have a parlor.and
two rooms in the second story. The lower and. third
story, part of (the building Is occupied by a family
named Baity, consisting of Hiram Pulty, wife, and
motherland Joseph, the defendant. It seems; as Is
alleged In the complaint, that the Pulty family
desire to foroe the two Misses Moore to abdicate, aua
to'effeot this end have resorted-to the meanest kind
of work. - At unseasonable hours, when complain
ants had retired for the night, thoro would often bo a
great rattling of things on tho floor above them;
such as stamping, jumping, or throwing down
things; moving heavy articles from one part,of the
room to the other, thus disturbing the peace and
quietness ot the ladies. At other times soma one of
the Pulty family would put cayenne pepper In a
heater known as a Baltimore stove, down stairs,
and; the, roqnr occupied by tho complainants
■.would" become filled with the effluvium ema
nating (from the combustion.- Tho ladles thus
so meanly annoyed were compelled to Open the win
dows of .their-room to let in the fresh air. to keep
themselves from suffocation. On Other occasions
aeskfoetlda would he thrown into the stove, and thus
the aged ladles were more greatly annoyed than be
fore. Of course It was almost impossible to catoh
the perpetrators In the act, and therefore evldenoe
up to the legal requirements was difficult to obtain;.
, Fortunately,! however, for the cause of justice, a
, witness was brought to the ttand. She testified that
=,on New„Yeaf’s night she visited the Pultv.fariiily,
iand while there Baw Joseph, the defendant, tase
the cayenne ipepper cruet and throw the contents
into the stove. In a few minutes the two old ladies
upstairs commenced sneezing, first one and then
the. other. : The sneezing was quite frequent, and
presently sheiheard One of tbe window-sashes being
raised. Witness remonstrated . with Joseph, and
said it was a great shame to do so. ;
The complainants testified tl.at on Sunday last,,
on returning! from church,'they could not eater
their room because of Its being filled with a noxious
smoke Or vapor. One of them on Inhaling it was
selzed-wlth a violent pain In her head and breast,
and became very Blok.- The .windows had to bo
raised, and thus tho room became cold and oomfort
lcss., The defendant was bound over in the sum of
$BOO to answer the charge of oonsplraoy and ma
licious misohief.

PASSING. A COUNTERFEIT NOTE.
John Carinary was arraigned, yesterday after
noon, on tho charge of attempting to pass a coun

Fourth streets, and, obtaining drinks, offered tho
note in payment. It was rejected. Finally the fel
low was taken in oustody. Upon searoßing him,'
a considerable amount of small currency was found
In his pockets. He was committed, in default of

STORY OF A FROZEN SHIRT,
Francis Blake, a poor, miserable, whtsky-soaked
fellow, was arraigned yesterday on the charge of
being a' “professional bummer.” He was, sent be.
low as a vagrant,; It seems that on Wednesday,
evening he entered a yard of a house on Delaware
avenue, near Pine street, where a'numberof wash
clothes were hanging frozen upon the line; Francis
proceeded to divest himself of the remnants of a
shirt he had worn for some time, and, after sundry
gyrations, inoldent to a person In his drunken con-
Qltion, succeeded. After some trouble, he got a
frozen shirt from the line, but he found it no easy
matter to put it on his person. Hs tried first one
way, then another, but ail in vain. He was taken
Into custody, and* disposed of yesterday as above
stated; ■

recover on a bill of ,exchange for ten thousand dol
lars, the same .havingAbeen given by defendants as
band money on an agreement or contract-for the
purchase of certain oil lands In Venango county.
The defence allege that the contract was procured
and [made by misrepresentation and deception, as
to the yield of oil of the well or wells on such tracts
of. land, the flow being much less than stated, and
that therefore, they were not bound by their agree
ment to buy nor to pay for the bill of exchange in;

Wm. Edgar Hatfield va, John Shields. This suit
was brought under an old act of Assembly, passed
1726, to recover from defendant, who Is a minister of
the Gospel, a penalty of .£5O for having performed
the ceremony jof marriage, wherein plaintiff’s
daughter was one of the parties, she .being at'the
time a minor of about 16 years of age, without the
consent of the father, and without the.names having
first been published. For the'defence, It was not
denied that defendant performed themarrlage cere
mony, but: it .was shown by the girl- herself , that she
and her husband Imposed upon ' him, in falsely re
presenting that he was from Maine, and of age, and
she representing that she was more 'than l 7 years
old, and was from Now York; and, under this state
of- facts, it was contended that plaintiff should not
recover. Judge Stroud charged, however, that the
provisions of the act of Assembly are plain, amdoould
not bo disregarded. The jury rendered a verdict for

The world wide reputation which these Chimneys
have acquired is.due to their acknowledged superiority
overall others. This superiority i« derived from three'
sources: .
Ist. Being fifty per cent, heavier than the common
Chimney, they may he handled with much less care.
~20- The oval shape is an adaptation to'fche flat flame,:
the Chimney heißff at all points the same distance from
the heat, so that the danger of cracking by unequal ex
pansion is avoided ■
3d. The material of which the* e Chimneys are mana--
fectured is unequalled by any other glass as a rapid
conductor of heat? and, practically, it is found that the
combination.:renders them almost entirely free fronr*
liability to.destruction by the heat of the flame/ Hence''
the obstacle in the way of the universal use of Carbon
Oil, found.m the unreasonable expense for -.Chimney*/

The popularity of these Chimneys has induced some
unprincipled perrons to make use of our name and trade
marks, and their,reputation has been partially impaired
by the woithiessnessof spurious Chimaeys sold as ours.
