Bill Authorizing the Election of Supervisors in
Certain Wards of the City of Philadelphia.
Whereas, A bill has been introduced in the

and in conflict with their duties as prescribed
by the Act of Consolidation, which vests all
power required to govern the city in the Coun-

purposes, and all laws governing and cencern-
And whereas 1t is the duty of Councils as the
guardians of the interests of the city to make

Resolved By the Select and Common Coun-
ellis of the City of Philadelphia, That in the

of the entire city; that it will create another

uniformity now existing in that respect; that IL

issuing from the window of house No. 1914
Filbert street. The attic window was found
raised, and it is supposed that the house had
been entered for the purpose of robbng it, and
the trunk set on fire so as to enable the thieves
to carry off the plumber during the alarm. 1t
would be well for housekeepers to look to the
fastenings of their garret windows and trap
doors, as several robberies have recently taken
place, the thieves entering through the upper
portion of the house.

RECONSTRUCTION UNDER THE New Law.
The New York Post learns that as soon as
the military reconstruction bill becomes
a law, citizens Of North Carolina and Ar
kansas will begin the work Of re0rganiza-
tion under it. They are now making pre-
paration for this important work, SO Is to
secure proper concert Of action in the
different parts Of the States; and though
they expect to meet at first with some op-
position from the factiously disposed, they
depend upon the United States to protect
them in exercising full and free discussion
before the people, and In holding the cleo.
tious prescribed by the act. The Post also
learns from South Carolina that Mr.. Orr
has received such treatment from the ex-
tremists for bis recent moderate counsels
that his friends are outraged and offended,
and talk Of cutting loose from men who,
they begin to see, are too thick-headed
to accept anything but ruin. There are
signs in different southern States which
show that, with the Presidents consent,
the plan passed by Congress would be ut
once adopted all over the South but even
If Mr.. johnson vetoes the bill, the citizens
Of North Carolina and Arkansas will, by
their perfected movement, hold him to the
responsibility Of carrying out the pro-
visions Of the act, which he cannot re-
fuse.-Baltimor american.
This is significant, coming from Radical
sources. The "loyslists" will call upon
Congress and the President to protect
them Sin holding the elections prescribed
by the act" They would soon get up
State convention.
