whenever presented, without regard to their
numbers; but practically this provision Of the
law is imperative, as there never is enough
money in the treasury to cover all the war
rants. II was the custem with Mr.. Bumm,
and all former Treasurers, to put aside GER
tain sum to cash the warrants Of school
teachers and others who are dependent on
their salaries for support, but Mr.. Piersol is
not allowed to exercise this disore-
tion, and he is further bound by
the ordinance in question, so that he cannot
cash warrants even when he has the money
unless they are presented to him seriatim,
according to their numbers. Thus, there may
be sufficient funds to pay say one thousand
warrants. The holders of a portion Of them
have them stamped, and then, for some reason
or other, do not present them at the proper
time, as is often the case, and the consequence
is that the unfortunate holder OF warrant one
thousand and one is obliged to wait for his
money, although the Treasurer may have the
claimant. Unless the Treasurer, too, has the
full amount necessary to cover warrant num-
Der one thousand and one he cannot pay 1t or
any portion Of it.
A supplement to the above mentioned ordi-
nance, which was approved Feb. 7, 1868, in
terprets the section of the said ordinance
which relates to the STAN ping of warrants to
refer only to the warrants issued on and after
the 1st day of January, 1868.
The effect Of this Interpretation is that the
warrants issued before the 1st OF January,
1868, cannot be stamped or paid at all unless
there is a surplus in the treasury over and
above what is required for the payment of all
the stamped warrants, and as such a condition
of financial prosperity is not likely to occur
very soon, the unfortunate holders of last
years warrants will have to whistle for their
money.
The present arrangement has been source
of constant annoyance and trouble to the City
Treasurer as well as the warrant holders, and
it has entirely failed to correct the difficulty at
which it was aimed. Councils will meet this
afternoon, and we hope that they will take up
this matter at once, and do something practi-
cable in the way Of relieving the creditors of
the city from the disabilities under which
they now labor. There is a large amount Of
money now in the treasury which cannot be
used for the payment Of any but stamped war
rants, while there are many teachers and
others who are either obliged to wait for their
money, or else sell their warrants at heavy
discount. Either the ordinance in question
ought to be repealed altogether, and the Trea-
surer allowed to pay the warrants in the order
of presentation, as was formerly the custom,
or a limit ought to be set to the time in which
stamped warrant holders are entitled to the
benefits of the existing arrangement.

SRYMoUR'S REsPoNsIBILITY.-Judge Kelley,
In the course of his recent speech at Spring
Garden Hail. in this city, said:-"On the 3lst o I
January, 1861 Democratic State Convention
assembled In Tweddle Hall, at Albany, to con-
slider the impending perils of the Union. No
man in that Convention was more prominent
than you, Mr.. Seymour; no man addressed IL
with more potential voice. Did you demaud
the maintenance OF the Union at whatever cost,
and warn the Rebels that they wers involving
the country In war and themselves in ruinf
Did you denounce the mbecility OF Buchanan
the reasonable craft of Black, the bloody reck-
lessness of the Southern leaders? Oh, no your
denuncations were not for these. your political
friends; they were hurled at the liberty loving
and aw.abiding people of the North. You de
nounced the resistance OF the North to the
unconstitutional, unholy. and Unsuitable de-
mands OF the slavery extensionists as sense
less, unreasoning fanaticism;' and exonerating
the Rebels FROM all blame, you added the
assurance OF your conviction that we could not
conquer them and advised your friends that to
attempt IL would be as revolutionary as seces-
sion itself. Your words were:-

The Troubles of warrant Holders.

The present arrangement for paying the
warrants on the City Treasury is an excellent
example oihow not to do it. On the 18th of
January, 1868, an ordinance of Councils to
enforce the prompt payment of city warrants
was approved; and with the most benevolent
intentions in the world towards the creditors
of the city, our law makers succeeded in tying
the hands Of the Treasurer SO that he is now
unable to cash warrants when they are pre-
sented, although he may have the funds on
hand. The ordinance in question provides
that the warrants shall be paid in the order OF
their presentation, and Gin event of the in.
ability of the City Treasurer to pay the same
on their first presentation, he shall cause such
unpaid warrants to be stamped with the dase of
presentation and numbers; and he shall
then announce to the holders the earliest pos
sible time within which he shall be able to
pay the same, and thereafter no new or un.
stamped warrants shall be cashed until all
those stamped have been first paid, and those
stamped shall be entitled to be first paid in
the order of their numbers" II the Treas
urer has sufficient money ON hand to pay all
the warrants, he is authorized to cash them

The Detection Of F,auds.

In accordance with the rule allowed by the
Supreme Court yesterday, The RvBSMa TsLE-
GRAPH despatched its reporters to the Office Of
the Prothonotary, and we are enabled to lay
before our readers this afternoon the first In
stalment of names Of our naturalized citizens.
1t is with peculiar pleasure that we make this
announcement. The Democracy appreciated
Immediately the great value which suoh q list
would be as a preventive Of fraud, and conse-
quently attempted to prevent its securanoe.
But the law OF the subject is we'll established,
and common sense united with It, caused
Judge Sharswood to grant the application.
We would now make few practical sugges-
tions as 10 the use to which these names
should be put. We would suggest that the City
Executive Committee of the Republican party
should direct the various ward aud precinct
committees to secure a copy OF these lists as
published, and place 1t in each Of their pre-
cinct books. By this means each precinct
will be able to know who claim to be aliens In
their midst. From the evidence so far received.
and number of cases exposing the manner
in which the frauds are being committed, a
sample Of which were published this morning,
it will be seen that good work has been
done already. A number Of scoundrels who
here perjured themselves and attempted to
defraud the free citizens of America of their
rights, are at present receiving their deserts
in the station-houses; and we are gratifed to
be able to say that from now until the day of
election, every one of them will be arrested,
prosecuted, and punished. From the sight Of
the lists already produced great number Of
those who have been naturalized have been
vouched for by the same men. All such cases
will receive their richly-merited punishment.
By proper exertions we think that, to great
extent, this wholesale crime can be de-
tected and prevented, and we feel sure that,
from this time forward, the matter will be
tn oroughly attended to.

THs real meaning Of the Camilla massacre
is stated by a correspondent, writing from that
scene of murderous action, to be that the
Democratic Rebels of two or three Georgia
counties have resolved that no Republican
meetings shall be Held within. their boundaries! |!
This resolution is in strict accordance with the
cowardly and tyrannical nature of the South
ern Democracy. Above all things they fear
the truth. Their whole partisan superstruc
ture is built on fraud, force, and
ignorance, and they know full well
that it will tumble into ruins if
it is exposed. Descending to the mean
exEedient of seeking the votes of the freedmen
whom they intend to disfranchise at the first
opportunity, they desire to prevent single
word of explanation; and their aristocratic
leaders also know that as soon as the poor
Southern white men understand how much
they were oppressed by the slave OligarOhy
they will become devoted adherents Of the
Republican party. 1t is unnecessary to COM
ment upon the cruel and tyrannical spirit dis
played in this systematic effort to prevent by
murderous means the dissemination of politi-
cal intelligence. Great as is the crime, it is
but a natural offshoot OF the inherent wicked
ness of the men who desire to revive new
rebellion on gigantic scale, under the
friendly auspices of Seymour and Blair.

WeIco me to the Boys in Blue.

PHILADELPHIA extends hearty welcome to the
gallant soldiers and sailors who become her
guests to-day. The men who saved the Union
were no mere machines, who knew nothing,
thought of nothing, or cared for nothing but
the word of command given by their superior
officers: they went down to the battlefield with
an intelligent understanding of what they
were fighting for, and they made
better soldiers because they thought
for themselves and oomprehended perfectly
the meaning Of the great conflict in which
they were engaged. The Boys in Blue are as
true to the cause of the Union to-day as they
were when treason inaugurated the reign Of
bloodshed and aroused the loyal men of the
nation to arms in the spring of 1851. The
issues Of to-day are not less preg-
nant with meaning, and not less i'm
portant in their bearing on the
future welfare of the Republic, than those which
we were called upon to meet when the felon
hands of JEFF. Davis and his co-conspirators
were raised against the life of the nation. The
soldiers and sailors are on the right side now,
as they were then, and having conquered
treason on the battlefield, their voices, votes,
and influence will be given to crushing it finally
by an overwhelming defeat at the ballot-box
next November. The demonstration which
begins to-day will be one of the most imposing
that has taken place in this city since the
generalship of Grant reduced the Rebels to
submission, and it cannot but have an i'm
mense influence all over the country in
strengthening the hands Of the Republican
leaders in their efforts to make the successful
General of the Union armies the next Chief
Magistrate of an undivided and reconstructed
Union. We extend to the Boys in Blue, there
fore, hearty welcome, and we know that our
greeting will be seconded by the loyal citizens
of loyal Philadelphia.

Meeting of the Reconstruction Com

At meeting of the Reconstruction COM
mittee this morning, Representative Ste
vens, OF Pennsylvania, submitted a.reso-
luton that it appeared from the late cor
respondence between the President and
General Grant that the President had vio-
iated, or sought to violate, the provisions
OF the tenure OF office bill. and that conse-
quently he is guilty of high crimes and
mlsdemeanors for which he ought to be
impeached by the House. This resolution
was discussed with much spirit. fao5sI
Inc point of debate in the case was as to
whether the President had violated the bill
oy the effort to induce Gen. Grant to hold
the office OF Secretary of War at the dis
posal OF the President. after the Senate, by
its resolution, had restored Stanton.
Finally the resolution was tabled, which
created considerable excitement. :, ssf
