some ediAce on Tenth street, near Chestnut,
known as the Franklin Market House, which
has superficial area of 24,0SO feet
as compared with the 5000 feet Of the two
floors in use in the present building.
The new building may by some be
deemed altogether too large for the necessities
Of the Library; but it should be remembered
that in 1845 but one floor Of the old building
was in use, so that the proportion between the
accommodations Of that period and those pro-
posed is as one to six-precisely the same re-
lstion as is borne by the membership at the
two periods. The new building Is to cost
1926, 900, Of which SIC, 900 is to be paid in
cash, the remaining $50, 900 to cucumber the
premises as a ground-rent. The sum OF
$4,000 will, however, be required to adapt
the new building to the wants Of the Com
pany, making a total cash expense OF
$4,000. To meet this, the Company
has S103, 900 In its Treasury, after dis
posing of the old buildings, so that
$40, 900 are required for immediate use, and a
round $780, 900 to place the institution on a
safe basis, clear of all inoumbranoes. At a
recent meeting of the friends of the Institution,
his Honor Mayor MoMiohael who presided,
appointed committee of our most prominent

Which is the Metropolis?

WE have frequently claimed that Philadelphia
is the mcst populous city on the American
continent, and in the result Of the registry of
votes which was completed in New York oity
on Saturday, we have an incontestable proof
of the truthfulness of our assertion. At the
November election in the city which can no
longer lay claim to the title of metropolis,
every nerve was strained to secure the largest
vote possible by both parties, as the result in
the State depended altogether upon that in
the city. But the Mayoralty contest which
terminates with the election tomorrow, has
been conducted with even greater zeal, as
there are three candidates in the field, and the
friends Of each are not without hope of sue
cess. The following figures give the compare
tive result in the two rival cities, the total
population being based upon the customary
estimate of six residents to every qualified
voter -
Fhf adeIphia Nelo York.
Total registry. ,272 l35 J9y
Total vote at recent elections. l0l, ,66S lll.S62
FopuIallon............... Sl3,594
New York, as will be seen, cast heavier
vote, in proportion to the registry, than did
Philadelphia; but it should be remembered
that the Republican vote in this city was not
drawn out, by reason of widespread dissats-
faction with a majority of the candidates; while
in New York If we may believe the leaders Of
the rival Democratic factions, thousands of
roughs were imported from this city and Balti-
more, for the express purpose of rolling up
majority which should "terrify' the country.
Moreover, it is notorious fact tn t thousands
of names are registered every year in New
York, in direct violation and defiance of the
law, and these may be put aside to Offset the
large foreign population who are not entitled
to the elective franchise Although the figures
given above are probably somewhat in excess
of the real population of both cities, the pro-
portion is as near correct as may be, and there
is not the shadow of doubt but that Phila-
delphia is the metropolis of the New World in
point of population, as it likewise is with
respect to manufacturing interests.

,bouobt II too important to entrust to committees
Of conference. The difference between the two
Houses was fundamental one, and conference
committee could give no further light The re-
suit in the House arose from the bad faith of past
friends of the measure. He was in favor of lay
ing on the table, to take up the Louisiana bill
and apply it to all the Southern States. Sumner
and Pomeroy advocated conference committee.
Howard said there should be no compromising
or trafficking in such an important matter
Sherman held that they could not reconcile the
House without abandoning the principle of the
bill Opposition came from extreme sides-one
holding that the States were entitled to rep
resentation. and the other that it was too liberal
Hendricks didn't think the President would shrink
from acting, if the bill reached him Pomeroy
repeated his belief that it would not become a
law this session. either by conference or otherwise
Lane opposed a committee; the difference was
fundamental and he was unwilling to abandon
the Senates position. Wade thought the matter
too grave to en:rust to committee at this stage
of the session, and preferred beginning the mat
ter again.
The discussion proceeded at great length, but
was mostly ola personal character. Owing to
the utter want of harmony, the Senate finally in
sisted on its amendment and refused a committee
of conference.
The matter was again taken up 10 the House
, of Representatives on "Wednesday, land Sherman s
substitute amended and passed. The following
explains the amendments adopted:
Mr. Wilson's amendment was adopted, 60 to
60. 1t provides tina: persons excluded from
office by the proposed constitutional amendment,
shall also be excluded from voting for members,
and from being members of the State conven-
tions to form constitutions.
MIR Shellabarger offered an amendment de-
claring that until the rebellous States are ad-
mitted to representation any civil government
shall be deemed provisional, subject to the MILL
tary authority, and to be abolished, modlhed or
| superseded at any time; and all elections under
such civil governments are to be conducted by
persons designated in the 5th section of the bill.
No person shall be qualified to hold Office under
the provisional governments who is ineligible
under the provisions of the I'd section of the Con-
stiutional Amendment of last session. Adopted
yeas SO, nays 10.
| A resolution to concur in the amendments
was then passed-ayes 1875, nays 46. Hawkins
Of Tennessee, and Hubbell Of Ohio, were the
only Republicans voting in the negative.
The bill as amended again went back to the
Senate for concurrence.
MIR Williams moved concurrence. Several
Senators regretted the disfranc hisng clause in
serted by the House, but would vote to concur
notwithstanding.
Mr. johnson said if he had his wish he would
Immediately receive the Southern Representa-
tives, but he would yield to the majority. He
would vote for the bill because he saw in it a
mode of rescuing the country from the perils
which now threaten it.
The Senate then passed the bill by vote Of
yeas 80, nays 7.
