2.lis RANA= OF THE CROLPRA iii CONSTAli
mtwortz.—A correspondent of the New York
21 - thane, writing from Constantinople, under
date of the 2.3 d August, says that in fifty days
the deaths by cholera amounted to not less
than 50,000. Some days the deaths averaged
three thousand a day. The authorities did not
publish the whole number of deaths on any
Occasion. - More than one hundred thousand
people have And the city. The city, instead of
being a mart of trade, is a vast hospital. At
certain points dead bodies, in some cases un
cofflned and naked, have been literally piled
up by scores waiting transportation to the
burial places, One of the cholera hospitals on
- the old city wall next the sea had a slide ar
ranged down which the dead bodies were shot
into boats to'be buried in the sea.
Only one death has occurred in the little
Amerlean colony here. The youngest son of
the 12ev. Dlr. Washburne died two weeks ago,
after a few hours' illness.
The American missionaries have devoted
themselves to the care of the sick and dying
among the poorer ehageS, and under their
treatment hundreds of lives have been saved.
While the average mortality in the city has
been about sixty-tive per cent. of those attack
.ed, under the treatment of the American mise
sionaries the mortality has not exceeded /tea
_per cent., or setting aside all those lighter ease
which might be classed as eholeriae.
The cholera has not followed any known
-laws in its progress here. It has been sup
posed that it avoided high and airy localities,
but here it has raged with the greatest seve
rity in some of the highest, best ventilated,
and most cleanly quarters of the city, while
in previous epidemics not a single case had
-occurred. -
Another singular fact is that the mortality
among the Europeans has been much greater
-since the decline of the disease than it was
when it was at its height.
Another fact is, that those who have fled
from infected districts,in perfect health, have
generally been attacked with disease as soon
as they reached their new and before that
healthy place of refuge.
A Fair Hit.
'The New York Evening Post says:
We are surprised and grieved at the conduct
-of. the British. Government in regard to Cer
tain persons suspected of Fenie.nisml , in Ire
land. At Dundalk live men have been arrest
ed, and refused ball. They had not committed
any crime; they had met together in a time
of profound peace, without arms, 'for , some
purpose not stated before the magistrate
they were not charged or suspeeted ot having
committed any crime ; and yet the judge be
whom they were arrigned not only re
fused to discharge them, but sent them to jail
'without bail.
What is the boasted liberty of the British
subjeet wortb, 'when En_gliSh judges can thus
arrest and immure in Bast - ties innocent
thing goes on much s li "n e n indf loger, - it A necessa
ry for our Government to remonstrate with
Lord Palmerston; and, as soon as Congress
meets, it will be adyibible to bring up before
that dy the arbitrary and tyrannical treat
ment of British subjects by the British Cirovern
ment.
- Fortunately for Mr. Seward and members of
Congress, the form and even the language of
such complaints and remonstrances are acces
sible to them. There are letters of Earl Rus
sell to our Government and to the British
minister at Washington which will answer,
with but the slightest changes, for Mr. Seward
to lire back at Earl Russell ; there are speeches
by Gregory, Roebuck - , Laird, and others, in
the House of COMnions, against our Govern
ment, which require only a few verbal altera
tions to make them useful to members of
Congress who wish to show up the lawless
tyranny; the savage brutality, and the folly
of the British Government, and anpeal 'WU.°
whole Civilized world, and to Chriittans every
:where, to refuse their countenance to such
proceedings.
Ireland and the whole of Great Britain are
lying profoundly at peace; suddenly Lord
Palmerston, known as a hater of Irishmen,
'Mime it into his head to order indiscriminate
arrests, right and left. A young man tells
another to " double up ,"
and on the instant one
of Palinerston's minions seizes him, drags
him before a magistrate or judge, also in Pal
merston's pay, who consigns him to a dun
geon,and tyrannically refuses to accept bail for
his appearance. Another equally umocent
young Irishman tells two or three of HU coin
pauions to "close up," and he too is dragged
oil; and disappears m a Bastile. Another hap
pens to say " fall in bellied," and he is locked
up without opportunity to explain his mean
ing; and his weeping wife and aged mother
appeal in vain for either justice or mercy.
.Are these proceedings lit for the nineteenth
century? Does not the civilized world blush
at such tyranny? and so on and so-forth—for
the remainder of this see speeches of Roebuek,
X. P. and others ; where we may also learn
thatlreland otight to be anindependent State,
and that the - United States ought to help the
Irish against England, because thus a severe
and damaging blow can be struck at the
strength of England—which is, according to
the wise Roebuck, an irrefutable argument,
The Health of our City.
'To the Editor of me Fes
SIR : I see that a communication from the
Board of Health was received in Select Coun
cil on Thursday last, in reference to "the Saul
tary condition of the city, the steady approach
of the cholera," etc. This intelligence is very
gratifying, indeed, and it is to be most earnest
ly hoped that a committe (or " messenger")
Tested with proper authority, may be induced
to visit some of the slaughter-1) ouses and bone
factories lying south of Wharton and east of
Fourth street, whence cloth daily ariserthe
most horrid effluvia that it is possible for one
to conceive of. From a "local a which ap
peared in the columns of your paper a few
days since, it seems that a com)ruttee COM•
posed of members of the Board of wealth had
visited some localities of the above character,
,
and pronounced that not on lywere they not
unhealthy, but that they were even promo
tire of health For the sake of not detract
ing from the wisdom that is supposed to go.
vern this body, it is to be hoped that this ver
dict was rendered in irony. rather than as an
4 'll:mutable fact ;° otherwise it would cer
tainly be in direct conflict with the common
sense view of our people, who entertain the
idea that any effluvium which compels the
closing of doors and windows for its exclusion,
and which (to the more delicate) causes even
nausea itself, is not rery promotive of health.
As the cholera may yet reach our shores, it
would be sheer criminality to allowsuch bale
ful auxiliaries to exist in our midst, without
making the most strenuous exertions for their
removal, As a resident of this stench-affected
district, I trust the day may not be far distant
when these nuisances will be taken away; and
when we can be permitted to breathe pure
air without hindrance from such offensive

'REBEL Alma ivies..—The Bureau of Rebel Ar
chives, under , the charge of Dr. Francis Lie
ber, is now at work upon the examination and
classification of the five hundred boxes of ar
chives of the late rebel government. These
doctirecutg relate to every department and
period of the rebellion, and cover the larger
part of its civil and military history. The title
of the bureau has been changed to the Archive
Office of the War Department. The office occu
pies rooms on F street. while awaiting the
preparation of Fercils Theatre, which will be
hi readiness about January lit.
rTIEIU
ST. LeTie Colm en3rEN.—The thirty
members of the municipality of St. Louis, Xis
..souri, will be handsomely received by the au
thorities of Philadelphia. The visiters are
composed of some of the leading business men
of that city. They are giants in enterprise,
and loyal in patriotism. They will be warmly
welecmed upon their arrival in the City of
Penn, by the committee of Select and Common
Councils appointed for thatpurpose. The gen
tlemen from the Western city desire to make
themselves well acquainted with the public
works of Philadelphia, and, in this instance,
there is every likelihood. of the Philadelphia
committee showing their guests around to the
most unlimited extent. Visitations such as
these are likely to he attended with the most
beneficial results. St. Louis is the rival city of
Chicago, and already has a heavy trade with
Philadelplua. This trails may be iuereaged if
things are properly managed. The Cooper-
Shoo and Volunteer Refreshment Saloons, in
which a million of soldiers, from all parts of
the Union, were fed while passing to and fro
thrOegh our city, have endeared the name of
Philauclphia to the people of the country.
Even soldiers from ;Missouri passed through
our city, and the most favorable impressions
were indelibly engraved upon their hearts.
So it is with the entire organization of the
city, covering as it does an area of one hun
dred and thirty-one square miles, and having
a river front of nearly Seventeen miles. Its
lire alarm and police arrangements ; its pala
tial market-houses ; its different water-works
its system of drainage ; its straight and level
streets ; its immense gas-works; its diverging
line of steam railways ; its numerous local
railroads; its handsome churches and semina
ries; its - Magni - dscat _colleges ; its thriving,
industrious, intelligent and loyal citizens; its
thoroughgoing business men . ; its shipping;
its immense foundries, factories, mills, arse
nals, and the general health of its citizens ; its
clean streets, arc., make Philadelphia what it
really is—the largest and best city on the Con
tinent of. America. A happier mass of people
cannot be found on any part of the broad land
of the world. Cheerful and patriotic, they
would all extend the hand of welcome to the
St. Louis visitors, if such were possible. This
must, however, be done by the committee as
the representatives Of the people at large.
POLITICALLY IMPORTANT.—There are in
many parts of our city persons who fought in
the rebel ranks against the American flag.
Some of these miserable beings bad emigrated
from the worth to the South previous to the
rebellion, and they entered the rebel army
fully believing that that horde would be vic
torious. Some of these beings were upwards
of three years in the service of Jeff Davis &
Vo. It is stated that a number of them de
serted, and came into our lines ; others were
taken prisoners and were paroled, and others
again deserted at various times, and,
watching their chances, stealthily sneaked
to the North, since which- time they have
been looking around for something to do.
It is evidently the intention of the lower
order Of ward politicians to have as many of
these rebel deserters assessed, and their names
placed on the extra assessment list. This is
the necessary preliminary to entitle au indi
vidual to vote. It therefore becomes abso
lutely necessary to keep a watchful eye over
these lists. The assessors will meet in a few
days for the purpose of receiving the names
of citizens who are not assessed, and they may
be imposed upon. The Fifth and Sixth wards
are said to-contain quite a number of the
Koseby tribe, who, however, wisely crawl
through the ranks of civilized We without
making much noise. They are seldom heard
to give a single hiss. In the keeping of de
graded, rum-besotted, ignorant, reckless and
desperatepot-house politicians these stingless
Copperheads may become a dangerous ele
ment in political circles.
FATAL ACCIDENT. Charles 'Wieder,
aged twelve years, residing at 242 Chester
street, fell on Sunday afternoon last from an
arbor and fractured his skull He died from
.the effects of his injuries on Sunday night.
The coroner held an inquest, and a verdict in
accordance with the facts was -rendered.
THE CABE OR ANDREW S. HORNER.—
The coroner's jury yesterday continued the
inquest in the ease of Andrew S. Horner, who
Was found insensible in a lager-beer 819.100 n,
and afterwards died at hie residence, in
Catharine street, but none of the witnesses
knew anything about the ease, and the inquest

PERFECTION
COMMERCIAL EDUCATION.—Last evening,
notwithstanding the inclement state of the
n eather, Handel and Haydn Hall was toles•
bly well fined by an intelligent audience of
ladies and gentlemen assembled to listen to a
lecture on Commercial Education by Thos.
➢lay Fierce, A. M. It being the opening nlght
Of the Union Business College, the exercises
begs'), at 8 o'clock, with the delivery of an in
troductory address by Chester H. Farr, Jr.,
His remarks were confined principally
to a general review of the influence of general
education.
Mr. Pierce followed. There are, said he, three
kinds of commerce—the commerce of cornmo
dities, the commerce of ideas, and the com
merce of emotions. lie then treated of the
educatiOn Which Was necessary to a commerce
in either or all of the divisions. The necessity
of such an education. the advantages thereof,
the circumstances under which it Could be
exercised, the preparations essential to a pro
per acquisition of such an. education, aryl the
best plan of securing that preparation, were
next reviewed.
- The necessity of a trade in commodities was
scientifically discussed.
The preparation needed by one engaged in
business embraces the acquisition of broad no•
Lions of science,_ general culture and diset.
One, and a special development of the per
ceptions—an acquaintance with the leading
laws of trade, and such a practice of them as
will connect the law and the subject treated
upon the - Axing of certain cardinal points of
character, and the tietelopment of will and
energy to hold the position properly . taken.
Of business colleges, he said that imperfect
as they are they can develop whatever of d is
cipline and method may be possessed, giving
it scope and object; can found a special busi
ness education on the elementary branches
known, confirm habits of reading and select
Proper matter for Its exercise, broaden gene.
rat information, and show its practical im
portance to business and connection with it,
teach the great truths upon which trade is
conducted, and approximate closely tam actual
business operations.
He next treated of ,the commerce of ideas—
which is conducted by conversation and pub
lic remarks, either written or spoken. He re
viewed this subject at some length and with
much interest.
The closing head of the lecture was the com
merce at emotions, and Mid reference to the
distinctive features of the emotions; the com
merce of . emotions existing between indi
viduals inn. the public, that between indi-
Vidliala and their friends, and that between
children and parents, brothuraand sisters, and
husbands. The lecture was well delivered,
and received with marks of approbation.
TRIBUTE OF ESTEE:W.—It having Come
to the knowledge of Gustave Ream% EMI.,
that Mr. James B. Dare, the worthy crier of
the Court of Oyer and Terminer and Quarter
Sessions, would celebrate the sixtieth anni
versary of his natal clay on Saturday last, that
distinguished gentleman determined upon a
suorise to Mr. Dare. Accordingly Mr. lienmir.:
called upon sonic of the leading members of
the bar, who ehemfully acqufesced in his
views.
Joseph Bgpham, Esq., was given a carte
blanche to affect such a testimonial of esteem,
without limit to price, as he might deem
proper_
On Saturday evening quite a number of the
Dare,
of the bar met at the house of Mr.
Dare, and in a few minutes afterwards a large
sized basket was produced, and its contents
found to be a set of silverware, gotten up..in
gorgeous style, and chased in an exquisite
Armen The hiSetiption on the plate was
simple, Ivor. to the worthy recipient it ex
pressed volumes. "Pre.sented to James B.
Dare Esq., by the members -, -g the Philadel
phia Ban , ' Mr. Bonham is e.ertarnry
7-titled
to credit for the taste he exercised in the pa.
forMance of the duty assigned him.
John Goforth, Esq., presented the testi
monial in a neat and eloquent speech, in the
course of which he said that, during the four
teen years Mr. Dare had performed the ar
duous duties of crier of the court, the mem
bers of the bar had always received the most
marked courtesy at his hands. Ile also et:-
Mired to an incident, which, not being known
to those present, produced a pleasing sen
sation. It was that when the office of crier
was vacant, Mr. Dare called upon Judge Alli
son and recommended a friend of his for the
position. judge Allison's reply was 3lr.
Dare, you will suit for that position better
than any one I know of and so Mr. Dare was
appointed. Mr. Goforth complimented the
excellent judge on his wisdom in making so
fortunate a choice. Be then handed over the
beautiful testimonial to Mr. Dare, saying it
Was but a Slight testimonial of the ,esteem in
which he was held by his fellow-members of
the bar.
Dare, who, by a temperate life, has his
voice unimpaired, and can make it ring
throughout the court•rOOM, was somewhat
tremulous upon this occasion. He received
the testimonial, saying it was a proud moment
of his life that ,gentlemen so exalted should
think of him who occupied so modest a posi
tiOn in the court. He promised to hand the
costly gift down to his posterity, as the proud.
eat boon he could bestow upon them.
The gentlemen present then partook of some
reh•eshments,the excellent lady and daughter
of the recipient contributing largely to the in
terest of the occasion.
TIM GERMAN EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN
CHURCH—LATINO OF A CORNER STONE.—Yester
day afternoon a large assembly of our German
population, who adhere to the tenets of the
Lutheran Chtireh, assembled, in defiance of
the inclement weather, at the corner of Fif
teenth and Ogden streets, to witness and take
part in the ceremonies of the laying of the
corner stone of the German Evangelical
Lutheran church, about to be erected at that
place. The enterprise has been undertaken
for the benefit of the large number of COMER
Lutherans living in the upper part of the city,
and is the outgrowth of a -Sunday-school
which was established in the neighborhood
about five years since. Connected with this,
there is now a day school, which is attended
by nearly three hundred children.
The services of the laying of the stone, began
by the singing c 4 an anthem, by the assembly,
after which jthe Rev. Mr. nutter delivered a
prayer. The Rev. Dr. icrotel followed in la
short address, which was listened to with
interest. Another hymn was then sung by the
choirs of the various German Lutheran
churches throughoutthe city, the members of
which had volunteered their services. The
Rev. Dr. Mann read a short history of the en
terprise, and placed the articles to be put in
the stone in a leaden bog, Among the a,rtieles
deposited were the bible, the confession °Me
church, a hymn book, religion's and secular
newspapers of the day, (including The Press,)
and specimens of the gold and silver coin of
the United States. The box was then scaled
up. The Rev. Mr. Spath next addressed the
audience, after whieh the bog was placed in
the receptacle cut for it in the stone and
covered with a marble slab. Rev. Dr. Mann
performed this duty. Prayer was then offered
by the Rev. bin Vogelbach, and the audience
was dismissed with benediction. The ex
ercises were conciliated entirely in the G e
manr
language,

AUTUMNAL EQUINOX, AND ITS EFFECTS.
—There was a sudden change in the weather
yesterday. Early morn was enveloped in fog,
which was so thick'on the surface of the Dela.
ware that steam-navigation was rather dan
gerous. After the sun had passed its Meridian
the wind veered suddenly to the northeast,
and blew in fitful gusts. About the middle of
the afternoon rain commenced to fall, and
thus was ushered in the autumnal equinox of
the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and
six-five. This storm may be considered the
breaking -up of summer. There has, - not been
one northeast storm since last March, in this
city, but more rain fell during the summer
than ValS ever known before. Reed birds, of
course, are numbered with the things that
were. They commenced their flight south
ward yesterday morning. The storm, how
ever, will be very apt to bring
to the waters of
the Delaware yellow-legged and bull-head
plover, teal, black-duck, and spring-tail, and,
not unlikely, snipe of the several kinds. The
best time to shoot teal is when the Delaware
is at high-water, between daybreak and sun
rise. The best time to shoot plover is at low
water, when the tide begins to flow. On some
of the shores of the islands, or on the bare in
the river Delaware, they may be seen by the
thousands immediately after a heavy north
east rain-storm has subsided,
BABE BALL AT OffEfiTtinT HILL.—The
return&etch between the Metamora and
Chestnift Hill Clubs, which was played on the
grounds of the latter last Saturday afternoon,
resulted in a complete success for them, as
Wappears by the appended score. The Chestnut
ills were fortunate in-securing a large lead
at the start, which, aided by their really tine
batting, proved a serious damper upon the
efforts of the Metamoras. They will play a
match on their grounds, next Saturday, with
the Germantown Club, which promises to be a
very close and exciting one :

THE ManwArs.—A number Of the prin
cipal streets of Philadelphia are paved with
cubical blocks of verybard stone, the surface of
which has become so smooth from continuous
travelling as to be dangerous. At almost any
moment during the day horses Slip, particular
ly in turning the corner of Fourth and Chest
nut streets. A day or two since a -pair of
splendid horses, belonging_ to Mr. Robert
Sykes, of Germantown, fell - from this cause,
and one of the animals was seriously injured.
Within our personal knowledge several horses
have been so pinch injured by slipping on the
smooth surface of these stones as to be of no
further use. A few men with steel picks,
might speed ilr rough the stones, at wry little
Cost to the city. We have heard some of the
storekeepers in the vicinity of Fourth and
Chestnut streets, say they would voluntarily
contribute towards the expense rather than
to become the unwilling spectators of such
scenes as are almost constantly taking place
in their neighborhood.
How TO CLEAN A GIIN IN AN EMIIROEN
cr.—Now that the rail-bird season is at its
height, gunners often experience difficulty in
nudet of their sport by the gun becoming
•so foul that the ramrod will stick in loading.
This can be remedied in two minutes by the
following rule: Put in a load of powder with
a tight wad on it; put on the cap; then pour
into the barrel about a gill or half a tumbler
of water, and immediately fire it elf. It will
thoroughly and effectually clean the gun.
Then snap two or three caps before you load
again to dry out the chamber, and you are all
right. If you have a double-barrel, do one
barrel at a time, as it will not do to let the
water remain on the powder any length of
time,
DEATII OF A CELEBRATED MUSICIAN.—
Theodore Ahrend, one of the best violoncel
lists in this country, died at his residence in
this city on Friday last. He had 'been ill with
consumption ror a tons time, and was not able
to perforxii in public as long ago as mot winter:
He was a native of Germany, thirty-flve years
of age, and bad resided in this city about fif
teen years. Mr. Ahrend will be greatly missed
in our musical circles.

LARGE SALE OR DRY GOODS.—An ex
tensive sale of dry goods took place, yesterday
morning, at the auction store of Myers & Co.
It 4rinbrneed seven hundred arid twenty-live

DESTRUCTION OF A DERRICK.—A stone,
weighing about two tons, was being hauled
out of the tunnel at Twenty-second. and Mar
ket streets, yesterday morning, when the rope
and derrick gave way. The stone in its fall

CAZE Or THE CETY COMMISSIONERS.
A jury was now called to try the ease of John
liven and Pomp Hamilton, charged with eon
pi racy.
Henry M. Milling and W. S. Price, Esae.. :11) -
peered for the prosecution, and Daniel Dougherty
and Lewis C. Cassidy, Esqs., for the defendant,
Messrs. Given itlia thinilltoll are charged in the
bill of indictment with _acting iu their °facial ca
pacity as City Commissioners, unlawfully and
fraudulently did alter that part of a certain piddle
record of the <Mice of the Commissioners of the city
of Philadelphia, to wit: a registry or record of as
sessments of real and personal property and estate,
located in the . Fifteenth ward, for the year 1865, is
which that assessment of Thomas W. Price is regis
tered or recorded for taxation. The alterations
complained of are these: "With a double two -story -
hack building, li1,500; and money at Interest,
. A nother count charges that the defendants wick
edly devising and intending to harass, annoy, and
injure Thema W. Price. and. Cause him to pay Moro
taxes than were lawfully ass.. ssed upon his pro
perty, fraudulently and unlawfully did conspire,
combine, confederate, and agree together, between
themselves, to harass. annoy, and injure the said
Thomas IV. Price, and to alter and Increase the as
sessment of the real and personal property and
estate of the said Thomas IV, Price, located in the
Fifteenth warn.
btr. Price opened the case, citing the statute un
der which the board of revision arc required to
meet on the first of September and close their du
ties in six weeks. The board of appeal meets in
October, and the law requires them to close in sir.
weeks. After this no one has a right to alter the
assessment limier any circumstances. It would ha
shown the cause of the alteration, to wilt the Corn
missioners were about to award a contract in a
fraudulent manner, when an: injunction was put
upon them. They advertised in twopapers having
tn
the gallegt circulation one of whic was not pub
lished in the English language, and for one day only,
in defiance of law.
The evidence of the record of the Court of Corn
mon Pleas in the case of the defendants was offered
in evidence.
Mr. Cassidy objected to It, as it could not shed any
light on this transaction. Tile record was with
drawn for the present.
. Benj. E. Woven, sworn.—l am assessor of the
Fifteenth ward, and was so last year; this book
contains the assessments made in 1804 for the taxes
of 1865 for the Fifteenth ward; at page 341 I made all
that is here in black ink, and none of the other I
returned the book to the commissioners on the 18th
or 20th of.iuty, 1504; no alterations were made When
I returned it; there Is an assessment made here in
red ink; I made the assessment on the house at
43,500, and furniture $l,OOO, and personal tax 50
cents; that is all the return I made; I don't recog
nize the writing in red ink.
Cross-examined.—There is assessment in the
book in red ink: mine is in black ink; Mr. Price liar
lived there over two years; last year was the tri
ennial assessment: I left circulars at houses pro
pounding certain interrogatories; one was left with
Mr. Price.
Sir. Cassidy. I propose to ask whether in conver
sation with witness and Mr. Price. the latter did
not say that people who returned .2,000 were d—d
fools, or did he say anything like it ?
Mr.. Phillips said the court could not be blind to
the fact that an attempt was being made by counsel
or: tile other side to try this ease by ,a hurrah.
The court overrulbd the question.
Examination direct.—l say that a new assessment
has been made in thebook; the black ink is scratched
through and red ink placed there; when I returned
:the book it was not scratched through; there is a
memorandum taken, and if after returning the
books airy clerical errors are found, they are cor
rected; the clerk of the commissioners examine the
book with the FlZZAzznr..
CClELlutal ,fn, the prosecution conteussa tnis rras
not ems-examination.
Witness resumed. —Did not dataitsine the building
of Mr. Price particularly before assessing it; they
appeared from the, fronts to be all alike; The house
is thirty-eight feet front and the lot eighty-eight
deep• I supposed there was a small kitchen back,
but etind there is a difference; one of them has been
enlarged.
Objected to, as the evidence must show the con
dition at the time, and not since the assessment.
Witness resumed.—l valued thchouse according to
the other property in the neighborhood: the house
is No. 1809 Mount Vernon street; It is a rough-cast
brick house, three stories high; it was assessed be
fore at $2,500.
This was objected to, as the assesses was not on
trial.
Witness resumed.—John McCaffrey was with me
when the assessment was made; did not examine
the furniture particularly; was in Mr. Price's house
twice when collecting the bounty funds; I thought
there was one thousand dollars worth of property
there; I was only in the first story and did net go
through the house: I suet Mr. Price a few days af
terwards, and he asked me what Iliad returned,and
he said he had not half that amount of furniture; I
told him if he had not more than three hundred dol
lars worth he could get it all taken off; I recollected
that other persons in the neighborhood had two
thotthand dollars worth of furniture.
. .
Objected tots not being cross-examination.
Judge Ludlow thought the cross-examination had
gone far enough. He was willing to go as far as the
description of the propertyassessed and no further.
D. F. Daley eworn.-1 made out the tax duplicate
of the Fifteenth ward for 1865; from this boa'. I re
turned the duplicate and hook to tile commissioners
between the 18th January and Ist February; the
assessment on T. W. Price's property is here; when
I returned the book the writing in red ink was not
upon it; no ink line was drawn throng!: the $3,500
when I returned the book: (book shown] this is the
taxeduplieatelMok for 1661 for the Fifteenth ward;
there is no alteration since I. made this hook out,
but an additional $1,500 is added to real estate and
money at interest $15,000; the word " est" is dotted;
from the best of my knowledge the additions are in
the handwriting of Mr. Charnley, clerk to the com
missioners.
No cross-examination-
Thos. W. Price sworu.—l have seen the assessor's
book of the Fifteenth ward; . I saw it before. he red
ink writing was there; .I first saw it towards the
close of 1564, and the alteration was not there; I
think about the first of Feb. I found the alterations;
it was a few days preceding:the commencement of
this aetioll', On the discoW7 of the alteration I
asked Mr. Dickson if he made the alteration or
caused it to be done; lie said lie knew nothing about
it; I asked the same question of Mr. Hamilton with
the same result; Mr. Given called out that he (Gi
ven) dill it; It was his work, and what had I to say
about it; Mr- Hamilton informed me at the office of
the receiver of taxes that his memory had been re
freshed, and he had been reminded of something,
and he recollected that he did agree to It; he also
said, in ids testimony before Om recorder, that he
recognized the act as much his as it was Mr. 01-
ven'silte said only one could write it but he ap
proved of it.
Cross-examined.—Upon that statement he was
bound over; I reside at 1809 Mount Vernon street;
the deed of my house calls for thirty-six feet front
and eighty-eight feet deep; it is three stories high
front and two-story back; I don't know what is
meant by a single back building; there is, on tile
first floor, a dining-room, kitchen and small sum
mer kitchen; on the seeond storyilre two rooms and
a bath-room: the back buildings have not been al
tered in the slightest degree since I have lived there.
Question. What did you give for the house ?
Objected to and sustained.
I had the back buildings erected before I entered
upon the occupancy of the house; I am on the bond
Of the present receiver.
Question. For how rand' 9
Coulisel. You need not answer that; it has nothing
to do with the case.
Witness resumed.—When Given said he made the
assessment, I asked wily no alteration had been
made in other property near,ine; the reply was that
my back buildings were new and deeper than
others; I explained that other buildings lead more
front and were deeper, and they laughed at sue; I
would not sell my house for any such money as it is
assessed for; relative to the $15,01V, tney said that
the assessor stated I had not answered the inter
rogatory; I was told if I would go before an alder
man and make affidavit as to money at interest it
would receive attention.
Judge Ludlow. This is not regular at all; it is not
cross-exaination. •
Witness resumed.—l am a blank-book manufac
turer, and have been in business twenty years.
The witness waslasked bow much money he had
at interest. Objected to.
Mr. DOUgber i.v said the defendants desired the ut
most scrutiny lac. Omit. actions.
_ Judge Ludlow said the examination was purely
older:than:tide.
Me. Dougherty said - lie understood Mr. Price, iu
the public prints, had desired all his acts should be
serntleized; bat now objection was made at every
step in the ease to throw light upon it.
Witness resumed.—l never said I would be
ifl would make oath; I used no blasphemous lan
guage, but denounced the act as an outrage and in
famous;:idon't recollect who was present at the
commissioners" office, but have an Indistinct recol
lection that Chas. O'Neill, the receiver, was there;
I own other real estate.
Q. In other wards? Objected to.
The assessment-book was offered in evidence:
also, the tar. duplicate, and admitted.
Henry Bumm sworn.—l am City Treasurer; I
was so last year.
Q. Was there any meeting of the board of re
vision last year?
Objected to, as MS was not the way to prove any
one member 'Uliould not be there it
was thing.ho evidence the board did not 'meet. The wit
ness might testify that he was not present at a
meeting, but that was not material to this issue.
The court coincided with counsel as to the first
point..
Witness resumed.—l did not attend a meeting of
the board of revision last year.
James C. Reish sworn.- - 1 was Receiver of Taxes
last year; I did not attend a meeting of revision; I
was in and out the commissioners' office at various
times.
Cross-examined.--I_Kave a memorandum to Mr.
JoLimon once on Mr. Walton's property, in Market
street: I was not sworn in as a member of the board

Myself were present; Mr, Kcish frequently came /2/
and out the office; we made memorandum's of pro
perty we were to visit; the alteration in the case
of Thomas W. Price was not made in my presence.
Cross-.examined.—l ceased to be Commissioner
December filst,lB64; I made three or four visits with
the Commissioners; did not visit Mr. Price's pre
mises; three elections Mgt year took up our time; in
visiting places, the hoard take the assessor's book
with them; in one instance a row-of houses were
omitted: if errors are to be remedied, it is done be
fore the board of revision; three commissioners sit
as a board of revision; the alterations are always
nia4e in red Ink; it is done so not to disguise it, but
to show it is .tone by the commissioners.
Examination di:rect.—The memorandum book con
tains complaints of persons who want their assess
ments reduced; the duplicates for this year were all
given out before I left the office.
Cross-examination.—The memorandum book con
tains the names of persons whose property is to be
viii ltd by the commissioners at their own instance,
Or on complaint.
Matthew Myers sworn.—r am chief clerk in the
Recorder of Deeds , office; I made search for an oath
of the board of revision for 1864; I partly looked
myself, and got the clerk who keeps the books to
look for it. but it was not found; I did not receive
such an oath for record last year.
Cross-examined.-1 am not a search clerk; I order
some, one else to do it.
F. J. Wolbert sworn.—T am Prothonotary of the
Court of Common Pleas: I did not administer the
oath to any member of the board of revision last
ye ar; I find no record there of the oath.
Cross-exaimined.—Did not search very particu
larly for it, nor go into the cellar to look for it. -
The record from the Common Pleas was again
offered in evidence and objected to.
Judge Ludlow. Is it to he inferred that when
that suit was pending before the court either of
these defendants threatened to do thus or so?
Counsel. No, sir.
Judge Ludlow. Then the paper must be ruled out.
Not Concluded.
