The ordinary alderman Las no Ills hele jalre. .the .pcqulaltlen of business And feAVancTin pursuit of thorn he Adepts as his fundamental maxim that judgment must alwayB be nlven for the plaintiff, whom he regards as his client, jjfe Judgment Is tee absurd for him te vender, It belug saved in his estimation by his fees, nbeut which there la no nb uuidlty. The JubUce of the peace, In fine, generally, with a few honerablo excep tions, is nothing but a fee squeezing creature , and aome of thorn in this town have nursed the business te a very pro fitable slze. They knew nothing that they can avoid knowing and nre espe cially ignorant of the law they are sup posed te administer. Their Judgments When npjwnled from generally fall i about which, however, they care nothing nlnce they get thulr fees paid bofero the appeal can be taken ; nnd they don't even take enough interest In the right or wrong of the case they have decided te Inquire into its adjudication In the higher court. Mr. Alderman Spurrier, one of these loe-pursuers, n while age, undertook te bring down the penalties of the city or dinances upon seme people who cut down certain poles In front of their beuses, which had been put up by the Maxim electric light company, aided nnd abetted by Harry Diller, of the lamp committee, the poles being Intended te sustain the wires supplying the electric lights. Mr. Alderman Spurrier get the citizens be fore him, and summarily deciding that they had violated the ordlnance, under took te iropeso the penalty. Judge Pat terseu decides that the go-d alderman mixed things up very badly. He made a very "dofective and slovenly record," and does net seem te have get anything right. He started out with a suit, as though by an In former, for " a plea of violation of city ordinances." Then he drepjed the in. former and made the city sole com plalnant. That lie could net de the judsjOEajs : and moreover that the action Bheuld have been In debt, there being no such plea knewu te the law .us violation of city ordinances. And, then, when the honorable alderman came te describe the ordinance that was violated, he didn't describe it at all, but get held of the wrong ordlnance and section entirely. And even if he had get the right one, the judge says, the case would net have been made out, us that puts a penalty en cutting down lamp pests ; and poles that carry electric wires de net seem te be pests bearing lamp3 Altegetber, probably the distin gulshed Alderman Spurrier's com edy of errors was exceptional in absurdity even for an alderman, ex ceptienal as th03e fee-rooters are In their capacity te go wrong. The wise alderman and the wise lamp committee and.their wise lawyers may net enjoy, as much as de their fellow-citizens, the judicial exposure made of the absolute silliness pervading their undertaking te held citizens te account for removing a nuisance from their premises, but it will net hurt their feelings much ; being as thick hided as headed fellows. The Status or Voters. The Philadelphia lltcurd is entirely right when it says the assessment of citizens for vetlug purposes tlve months before they can exercise the vetine privilege Is one of the absurdities of our Pennsylvania law. "There is no reason why the voting list should be made out se far In ndvauce of necessity. Under the constitution any citizen who has re sided iu an election district two months before au election has a right te vote. If he moves into the district three months before election his name is net en the assessment list, and he may be put te considerable trouble before he can obtain his right. An assessment at a later period than Is new provided for would reach his case." The llecerd might reasonably go further in its recemraen datlen of au Improved registry law, and urge that the right of voters te their suffrage should be scrutinized by proper legal process nnd finally determined at a llxed time, say ten days befere the election. On th0 day of the voting and by u partisan beard of election elllcers are almost the worst time and place of determining the rights of voters. It is tee utten done unfairly and under excitement and the remedies for the private and public wrongs done by the wrongful ex elusion or acceptance of votes are treu bleseme and expensive. The proper method would be for the beard of election elllcers or seme ether beard at some time after the last day for paying taxes, when every voter's status 's fixed, te prepare mid pest n complete list of all qualified voters, subject te appeal te tne court nnd revision by it, he that in geed time before the o'tctlen polls open there might , publicly posted and in the hands of thoii theii thoii cenducting the election a full list of all the qualified voters in the district ; all en It should vote without question, and none ethers. There would be no hard uhlp in this ; every legal voter would have mere facility te prove his rights than he has new en election day, nnd much bitter ness and recrimination that prevail new at the polls would be prevented. Pelltl clans would have Uss trouble and the average voter would be subject te no an noyance nor danger of unlawful depri vation of his rights.

Te get at the body of ene of the clerks the firemen, hoping the peer fellow was still alive, dug through two walls from an adjoining warehouse. When they reached him, alter three hours' labor the body was warm, but life was extinct.

The i:icctrlc Merit l'elev In the case of the city of Laucastervs. Abraham Htrsh, ele of the eivil suits growing out of tlie cutting dewu of the electric light poles, certiorari from Alder man Spurrier's docket, Judge Pattcrseu has tiled an opinion reversing the alder roan's judgment against defendant. The essential part of the opinion reads ru fel lows : The action in this cue, whether or net sustainable, becauss of it beiuga 'iu tun action, if brought for violation of See. 3d of ordinance of 1th of January, 1825, (under head of "Lamps,' page U2, of ordi erdi nance book), the only ordlnance or hcctien we eau disoef or, which seems te have any reference te tbe act charged te have beu committed by the dofendaut, the cnalty iullicted by said section going in part te the informer, and part te the city, the in former should have hacn named as plaia. tifl j suing for hnncelf as well as for tlie city of Laucaster. The alderman's transcript rccitcx, that defendant "has violated the previsions of the city ordinances, sec. 3d of March 1 lib, 1303, by having out down or caused te be cut down au oleotrio light pole erected en North Duke street, iu said city, by au therity of plaintiff the city of Lancaster ter the purpose of lighting the streets el sildetty." New it has been held that in a v"i ram action bofero an alderman fertliu violation of an ordir.an:c,the record must show- what the ordinance is the subitance of it, at leaat,eneub for the court te dotermiio that he had jarisdiotien if net in hae verba, should be designated by uumber, section or date of pasBage," 3d Pareeus ; . cases 232 ; Fialey vs. Sparks. In all theso particulars, ruled te be es sentials, the alderman's record is octirely wanting. The ordlnance of " soe. 3rd of March 11 1S0S," recited by the aldermau as the ordinance violated, imposes no penalty for anything, but dsflnes the duty of the m committee lu awarding supplies of coal, oil or ethor matenal for lighting, The alderman must have mlsuumbored, both the section nud the date of the erdi nance, aud as he has failed te quete the ordiuance, or the substance of it, under which he rendered his judgment, what is there that appears, by whieli, thu court can dotermlne the jurisdiction of the alderman, or the law of the case f The alderman has indoed shown eneugh en his transcript te Induce us te doubt, but nothing en whleh we eau proneunco with certainty, the whele record boingHlevunly ami dofective. If it wasolear that tue judgment ron ren ron dercd by the alderman, was rondcred uuder the 3rd soe. of tbe ordlnaneo of -1th Jan, 1825, the words rocited by him, te wit ; " Cut down an oleotrio light pole, erected, for the purpete of lighting the ttreett of said city," might possibly be oenstrued te oevor this case. Fer that seotleu of said ordlnaneo rends, " if any person, or porseus, shall wilfully or caro care caro lessly, break, threw down or destrey any lamp, lamp pest, Iren or fixture of the lamps, set up te light the stroets ami alleys of the city, cee." But the 3rd sec. of that ordlnance docs net dcslguate electric light poles, nor is the ordiuauce dosignated in the record of the aldermau by bciug set out In werdj, or by uumber, or by date of passage, aud as the plaintiff in this notion, sued for a penalty, the ordinaneo, whiohevor it rnny be, i penal lu Its oharaetor, and must be con. strued strictly, and must be set forth in the transoriptef'tho alderman, with sufflolent olciruess nnd precision, te loave no doubt, otherwiso the judgment will be reversed en certiorari. The court cannot take Judielal notleo of a elty ordlnauce. U, Parseur.cases 233 Frally vs. Sparks : Ibid, 230, Manny link vs. Davis; 13 W. N, O. 108, elty 1, Rel. Rolehonvaura vs. Cohen ; 1 W N.
