Messrs. Blair, Cowley, Grenet, Hanna,
Hastings, Kirkpatrick. Krebbs, Kopp,
Long, Megraw, McNeill, Ober, Porter,
Sidle, Tate, Thompson, Voegtly, War
ner and President Slack.
The President stated the meeting to be
an adjourned one fore riurpose of fur
ther considering the at relating to sewer
age in the city. The drst section of the
act had been already approved.
Mr. Tate moved that Common Coun
cil go into Cummittee on the Whole to
consider the measure. Lost by a vote
of ten to eight.
Mr. Tate then moved to adopt the
second section of the amended act, as
presented.
Mr. McNeill moved to sabstitute the
second section of the original act.
Mr. Tate moved to amend wor d 'second
section by striking out the dis
trict" and substituting "city."
Mr. HaStlngs moved to lay this motion
on the %shim, but afterwards withdrew
his motion.
Mr. Tate then withdrew hiS amend
ment.
Mr. McNeill said his constituents
would be very much injured by the abol
ishing of the (district plan, and he would
oppose every effort looking toward a
change in this respect, oven if he had to
take the matter to the Legislature.
Mr. Hanna was favorable to the chane f
in the system, but he was in favor o f
having a full and free discussion of the
measure, in order that Councils and citi
zens might perfectly understand what
they were doing.
Mr. Long did not particularly favor ,
either act presented, but he desired a
\full discussion QA, the matter, that all the
light possible might be brought to bear
upon the acts separately and collectively.
Mr. the Megrawted thought the matter should
be submit to people. This would
relievesCls of the responsibility,
and thu every citizen would have some,
thing to say in the matter, and it
' would
be satisfactorily arranged.
Mr. Hastings said the people in his dis
trict
printedwavor of "the measure as
D. was and they were willing
to pay the assessments which would be
made under it.
Mr. Voegtly favored the law now in
force AO thought it should be given a
fair trial. •
in
Mr. Hastings was favor of the gene
ral sewerage plan.
Mr. Hanna said the law was hardly a
year old, yet it appeared to give great
dissatisfaction. Se was In favor of
changing the law and amending it until
it met with the approval the people for
whom it was made.
Mr. Megrim! moved 'that both acts be
submitted to the people for their ap
proval or rejection. Not seconded,
Mr. Coealey thought the sewerage to
should b levied according to the value
of the pro
and and not upon the sur
face of ground Po an by any citizen.
Mr. Long was in favor of submitting'
the matter to the people, but it was now
too late to bade this done and then have
it submitted for approval to the Legis
lature. •
Mr. Megraw thought both acts could
be passed by the Legislature, and then
when submitted to the people, the act
receiving a majority of votes would be
declared the law.
After some further discussion, the
question was called on the adoption of
Mr, feicNelli's substitute for the second
section, resulting as follows:

Megraw, McNeill, Ober, Porter, Scidle
and VoagtlY-9.

Mr. Tate then moved the previous
\
1 question on the adoption ,of the second
section of the act. The motion was car
ried and the section ad opted by a
vote of ten yeas to nine nays.
Sections three and four were adopted
without debate.
After the reading of the sixth section,
Mr. McNeill moved to refer it back to
the Committee.
Mr. Tate moved to lay this motion on
the table. Lost by a vote of seventeen to
two.
Mr. McNeill was opposed to the issue
\of small bonds, as contemplated in the
section. It would degrade the credit of
the•city. He was in favor of paying off
the debt as fast as it was incurred by a
direct tax rather , than by the proposed
system.
M a . Long favored action at once. Coun
cils as a whole were as competent ad any
of their committees to decide a measure.
en s u e
Megraw thought if bonds were
made not transferable it would be all
rht.' But to issue 200,000 worth of
small ten dollar bon d s would only be
opening up a trade which would be used
by speculators to rob the people.
Mr. McNeill finally, withdeew his mo
tion to refer back.
Mri Hastings moved to amend by
striking out all relative to certificates of
indebtedness and insert authority to the
Treasurer to give credit on the books of
the city to parties for such sums as they
mahave paid, and also authorizing him
to Iss ue receipts to all such parties, to be

The Case of the Trinity Church.
We have received, from a responsible
source, the annexed statement of facts
bearing upon this controversy, which we
print, with thelpWriter's deductions:
In 1787, John Penn and John Penn, Jr.,
1
proprietors of Pennsylvania, granted tocongregation of Episcopalian " in
the "
Pittsburgh certain lots of ground rent
ing on Sixth street and extending. back'
to Virgin alley, for a burial lilac and
house of worship. The congregation
worshiped in the old "Round Church"
until 1825, when the present-church edi-'
fice was erected on the aforesaid ground,
and hascontinued to he used as a place of
worship since.
It has been manifest to the Vestry for
several years that, owing to some radical
defects in the structure, t could net be
used much longer. The annual expense
of preserving and rendering safe the old
edifice for the past five years has been
eonsiderable, and this fact, together wito
the growth of the congregation, render
ing the church inadequate for the re
quired sittings, has caused the necessity
of a new and larger edifice to press itself
on the members, and at different times
efforts have been Made to prOvide means
for that purpose. These efforts have at
last been crowned with success, and
plans for a new church and new chapel,
estimated to cost about $200,000, have
been adopted.
As the new buildings, to answer their
purpose, must be larger than the old
ones, ground heretofore used for burial
purposes must be occupied. To provide
against possible objection, the N'estry
have asked the Legislature to pass a bill
authorizing the church or chapel to be
erected over an obsolete or unknounsand
unmarked graves, on the site of the pro
posed e. actions, and to remove such '
graves as are mark.ed by inscriptions to ',.
other 'carts of the ground or to one of the passe'
rural Cemeteries near the city. leg
Against the granting of this authority venni
Mr:lsaac Craig has remonstrated. He coast(
charges that th y e Trinit Church has no go b
title to the ground; that it was given by tune
J
the Penns for burial purposes exclusively ust b
•
and forever; that "in the early part of - few r ,
the present century, the Trinity congre- ho le
gotten, by some *hocus-pocus,' got pos
session of a portion of the ground and
built th&present church on a part of lot
No. 435, &c." : also, that s"the Vestry of
Trinity Church design grading the an- fore
dent burial ground down to a level
it
ch
the street and alley, and to encroa ".
thereon with their new church." '
Until these
the remarkable charges were
fulminated, congregation of Trinity
parish had never heard the title of their
estate questioned, and many of them now
wonder if these
things'
wonder rea
of the
lly . so.
Happily for the peace and
congregation and for the higher honor of
the Penns, their grant was made for the
advancement of ',morality, piety and re
ligion," as well as.for a place of sepul
ture. We *were shown by one of
ate
vestry on Saturday an exempliffd
copy of the original grant, on re
cord in Westmoreland county, in
which Pittsburgh was included at
the date of the instrument. The
terms of the grant completely contradict
the truth of Mr. Craig's history, and
thoroughly neutralize his "hocus-pocus"
statement. The official document refer
red to, is dated in September, 1757, is
ecuted by John Penn and John Penn,
Jr., "late proprietors of Pennsylvania,"
and conveys to lion. John Gibson. John
Ormsby, merchant, Devereux Smith,
gent.. and Dr. Nathaniel Bedford, in
trust, "as well for and in considera
tion of a laudable inclination which
they have of encouraging anti promo
ng morality, piety and religion in gen-
eral, and more especially in the town of
Pittsburgh, as of the sum of five shil
lings, current lawful money of Pennsyl
vania." * *. * * * And "in trust,
nevertheles, for a site for a house of
religlous worship, and burial place for
the use of the congregatiorrof the Epis
copalian Protestant church, commonly
called the Church of Enand
t, anent the
said town of Pittsburgh ; d a the
said trustees, the survivors, or survivor
of them, "will permit and suffer the said
two whole lots and the said Ilea' eland m`t of
ground and premises hereby given
granted, and the buildings thereon hereof- no ,

and at all times hereafter forevtr, e

and management of - the said ' relig.
ions society or congregation and their
successors in the said town of
burgh and vicinity thereof, and to and ids
burgh
other use, intent or purpose what
soever." As we have heard of no oppo- ed
bitten, except from Mr. Craig. we think I*
it fair to presume that all others are sat- „.,.
isfied that eighty-three years of quiet "k'
possession by Trinily Church is of itself 15
sufficient title to the grounds in ques. 111
01
Lion, and if we rightly suppose Mr.
Craig to be incapable of malting an in
tentional misstateinent we doubt not,
he will accept the logic of the official
records and withdraw his charges.
We have to ask him, also,to withdraw
his statement that the Vestry design
grading their lot to the level evel of the
has
street and alley. As weit
been resolved by the Vestry not to dose,
but to preserve generally the present
elevation of their grounds.
There have been no interments in
Trinity Church yard for sseveral years,
and , the remains of many have been
transferred by friends from thence to the
rural cemeteries. We submitto be that
covthe
friends of the dead proposed -
ered by the new church, could not ask
or desire a more fitting and enduring
monument over them or a great
security for the NUM than

fe A New Attraction.
The enlargement, of.the area of busi
ness locations and facilities in our city,
shows very conclusively the dlift of trade,
and the fact that Pittsburgh is, which
ought to have been conceded always by
the commercial wo_rld, one of the grand
centres of this country, and especially
west of the Alleghenies. The fruits
consolidation are also already apparent
by unsettling the old lines which regu
lated certain localities and streets fur
business purposes. Streets heretofore
regarded as favorite resorts for certain
departments, are now viewed as more
suitable places for specialities in trade,
while other thoroughfares have suddenly
beeame attractive for business
places pf
houses.
Streets formerly occupied as
residence are almost completely meta=
morphosed by the inroads of liusineis.
Here and there elegant rows of new
hous for st
-ores have been erected,
opening up new attractions for buyers
and sellers.
P.rnong the recent movements is the
t r ansformati on houses into elegant and eerftif place's
for retail, as well as for jobbing purposes,
on Liberty street, in the neighborhood of
Sixth, formerly St. Clair street. The
most marked changes are on the west
side, below and above Sixth.- especially
between T he h ouses

alley. The houses in
long since were occupied for wholesale

dealers almost exclusively, but are no
being rapidly remodeled 'and fitted up
for wholesale and retail stores. Ibis ex
pected erelong the railroad track will be
removed from this wide theroughfartt e,
s'
thereby making' t the Broadway of Pi
burgh. We need only note among the
more recent and noticeable changes in
that locality, the house occupied by
Mr. W. P. Marshall, who has fitted it up
in elegant style for the sale of wall paper
and everything in his line of trade, and
the twin -building which adjoins, soon to
be occupied by Mr. Robert S. Davis,
bookseller and stationer. The spacious
building, leased by the latter, is now be
modernized and fitted up at a large outlay
of expense, and will be worthy , of a place
of resort for book buyers, and A for thosepro
needing fancy stationery. Ample
vision is alsobeing made to accommodate
his ridl increaein le this
establishment
We shall havem ore to say of
establishment hereafter. Mr. Henry
Rigby, china merchant, is to occupy No.
189 in the same block.
Already business men are attracte to
this square, fronting on Penn street, d

as dwellings, will be changed into busi
