(From the London Timed, Oct 8 ]
It is natural in a man co torrid as Garibaldi, but it ie
'scarcely ream able in calmd thinkers, to be full of in

Government In thin matter of Some. When we con ,

which then ruled, either bi her own force, or that of her
vtie.eels, over the whole of Italy. there is no reason that
we or the Reliant should cetuplein at not having moved
feet enough. At all event.., whether the policy of the

SHERIFF.:CO! TESTED.ELECTION CLSE.
OPINIONS BY JUDGES THOMPSON AND LUDLOW,
Mr. Thompson Declared Elected.
On Saturday morning, the long-looked-for opinion In
the Sheriff contested-election owe was delivered by Judgsa
Tbompeco and Ludlow. The decision of the court was
generally expected on Saturday, and, of oouree, a large
assemblage of apectators was present. Judges Thomp
son and Ludlow both read opinions, which were listened
to with marked attention. Owing to toe great impart
once attached to, and to the interest generally felt in, the
settlement of.this long-mooted Question, we present the
opinions in fall:
OPINION BY JUDGE •TrEOMPSON,
In the Court of Quarter Passions. fu the matter:of the•
conteisred eke ion for the offioe of sheriff of the 001;104 of
Philadelphia, wherein John Thompson is contestant, and
Bebert Ewing, respondent.
This proceeding was Instituted by the presentation of
e petition tigoed by flftyeeven electors, oorn
.plaining of the ondao election and false return of Hobert
Ewing to the othce of sheriff of the comity of .E'hiladet
phia.
The principal complaint set forth in said petition Is
that the return judges counted as valid the votes of poi
sons who at the time of the election were absent from
the ()minty, in the service of the Government an soldle,e,
fled whose votes were cast in the camps et whioh they
were stationed.
It is averred that these votes were illegal, inasmuch as
the 43d section of the act of Assembly of Jaly 4, 1839,
under whim) they were token and returned, was =loon
stitutional, and did not authorize each votes to be re
ceived. It Is farther stated that the votes so at being
&ducted from the number returned for each candidate,
will !tare the majority of the legal voters returned in
favor of John Thompson.
The several aptcillcstions contained In the petition
orate other illegalities ari,itag
,treat the men,. Or in which
the votes were taker, at the camps and returned
Before any avid( nee bad been taken to support this
complaint, it was publicly known that a case from an
other county in the State, in which a slather army
vote' had been called in que , tion, had been taken to the
Supreme Court for review. and by the consent otall parr.
ties the present case wae snowed to rest, until the deol:
Non 01 the Supremo Conk on the constitutionality or the
law should be ascertained.
As soon as that decision was published, this ceee was
brought before as for investigation It was thown that
the Supreme Conn had adjudged that the 480 aeotloa of
the law of July 2d, 1899, nyder wlneti toe any vote"
bad been cast in toe several camps, was contrary to the
Constitution of the Atate, and therefore void, and all
such votea were. cot sequel,' dy Invalid.
The effect of that decision was to sweep from this case
th e , enttre 4 4‘ army vote' , returned ; and the nutaner of
such votes given for each candidate for too offloe of
sheriff being deducted imm' the aggregate vote returned
for him, left a majority of the votes received within the
county in favor of John Thompson to the number of 146
votes.
The contestant regarded this as the termination of the
case in his favor.
• 'I be respondent, however, thought proper to contest
the county vote as returned by the return judges_He
then presentea an answer, in which. while he alleges that
be bolds a oemmission bused upon the return as matte'by
the return judges, be nevertheless avers that the return
is fated in totting forth the number of votes respectively
received by each of the candidates for the office of sheriff
in the several wards of the city and county of Philsiel
nbia, and that be received a m.jorits of the /eget votes
cast in the several election divielensnf said county.
In one hundred and sixty-two opectileatioos, the re
epondent points out the Particular o t visions of the ward.
in which he stv , Is teat inegel yews were received and
wanted for John Thompson. The number of snob votes
as specified amount to re .re than one thousand. and If
proved to have been illegally received and counted for his
opponent would change the result, and show a majority
In the reeponoent's favor of several hundred votes. In
five additional specifications. the respondent asserts that
irri gulerities occurred at several of the voting planes, end
among the offices, of the election, which would require
the entire vote received et each of geld election divisions
to be disregarded In the enumeration of the legal vote of
the county.
The respondent further claims that the vote of certain
soldiers encamped at or near Easton, within the limits of
this Mate, were proper') received tinder the act of
July 2, IE3P, nod thatof those votes 100 and upwards were
received by the respondent.
The main questions for the consideration and investiga
tion of the court were those ;resented by the answer Of
the respondent, on whole bobalf it wa °untended.
Ist That the votes of the mammy taken within the
State are to be counted .
2d That illegal rotas were received and minted for
John Thompson.
2.d. That in several precincts the election was oondnot
ed in an illpnal mapper.
4th That the i eepondent claims, not under the returns
of election, but tinder a oommieeiou from the Governor.
. . .
hinch time was devoted to the hearing of the testlmottY
adduced by the respondent to tosteln the positions em
braced in his answer. and after a care ni consideration
of all that has been submitted, and with a full conscioue
nets of the Importance of the questions presented for in.
vestigation, we come to the cetera ination of the case
upon its mtrits, which we noderttand to be the dirty
which the law requires us to perform
In regard to the first proposition, "that the votes of
Vie int/dory cast within the State are to be counted."
e need only r. mails that. in our opinion, the decisbn
of the Supreme Court in tbe case of "hare os...Miller.
(Legal Zuteiffgencer, Ootober'3d, 1882). already referred
to, betties tbia question. It is there decided that no vote
can be lei ally cast exempt in an election district espe
cially defined by law, and that the forty-third section of.
the act of July 2 1839, in authorizing votes to be re•
ceived in places other than districts so defined. woe in
violation of the Constitution of the lommonweath, and
constonently invalid. )either that aot nor any other
law hoe emelt uted a camp within Pennsylvania en elec
tion district. The camp at or near Roston was not so
•designated, and the oeclsion of the Supreme Court must
be regarded as extending to it. This vote cannot, there•
fore, be counted.
2. The second charge made against the retutti of the
election is, that it many of the election divisions of the
city, illegal votes were-received. which were counted for
John Thompson. A foil opportunity ww. afforded for
the examination of witnesses to sustain this charge!
The numb, r of votes questioned by the numerous speell
ficationa contained in the answer was vary large, but the
evidence was directed to about one-third only of those
specifications. The result of this investigation, the
respondent ci dins to be. the discovery of 21 votes file•
gaily received for Mr. Thompson. A number of these
votes, however- are relied upon by the contestants as
not shown by the evidence to -04111egal As this number
of votes taken from 'the majority retard of Thomason,
will not affect the result, unless some of the charges
made by the respondent against the veil, ity of the elec
tion in one or more of these - divisions, which ate at
tacked on the ground of the illegal manner in which the
election was conducted, shall be sustained, it is unneces
sary to exemine those centered votes • more closely,
until the question of the return, in the divisions referred
to shall be determined.
3. We come now to what appeared to be the main
ground of contest. The responcent avers that in 'several
election divisions the election wee conducted in an illegal
manner, whereby ft becomes. the duty of the snort to
disregard the entire vote received at each of &itch divi
alone, and to strike it from the Lumber returned.
The correct dispoeitton of toteetious of this character
is not without difficulty; for. witelahu the one hand, the
whole Conduct of election officers may, though actual
fraud be not apparent, amount to snob gross and mailable
negligence, such a. disregard of their official duties as to
render their doings unintelligible or unworthy of cre
dence, and the results of their action entirely unreliable
fir any purpose ; oe the other, the mere neglect to per.
form the directory requirements of the election laws, or
the performance of their duties in a mistaken manner,
where there is no reason to believe that the officers actel
with bed faith, and no bairn bee accrued from the negli
gence or mistake, ought not to be allowed to defeat the ex
yreesion of the wilt of the people of an entire district,
against whose votes no objection can be made Every, such
case mutt be examined and determined upon its own
merits: In a eity .and county 'divined into more than
two hundred election divisions. where on the day
of the election nearly two thousand pars-na are cal
led upon to act as wection officers ' many of whom have
bad no experience to guide theta in the performance of
the recruited deities, it must needs be that mistakes and
omissions will occur, and that some o' the duties will be
redeemed in en irregular manner. If It were the day of
the court to : set aside the return from every poll in,wlitoh
an irrekular or even an illegal act bad been cone, no
election would be likely to stand the tett; suoli a role
would, in facti afford to the adroit and designing parti-
San the OpnOttlinityito interfere" with the fair expression
of the popular will, 'While; therefore, ;wet carefally in
vestieate to detect and anbiert fraud. we cannot lean in
favor of less serious complairita, whichdo not effect the
real merit of the tnsitsactlon:
The first division attacked on the ground of the rule-
COnduct of 'its officers Is the first division or the First
ward. It is alleged that tti e officers of that division be
came intoxicated noon after the polls opened, and so con.
tinned during the day of the election; that thereby the
said officers were unable to discharge, end did not dis
charge their duties; that they received the votes of per
sons not on the list of taxable& without regarding the
provisions of the law, as to the proof required to entitle
such persons to vote; thatthe election papers of the said
division furnish no evidence as to the reasons for which
inch persons were permitted to vote-, that a lane num
her of persons, not officers of the election, and having no
tight to be present In the room occupied by the election
officers, were permitted to intrude themselves into the
said room, and to interfere with the conduct of the elec
tion ; that when the polls were closed, the ballot.boses
end election papers were taken possession of rind re-'
moved by an individual, not an officer of the said eleo:
tion, but a candidate voted for thereat; that the tally'
papers and returns tithe said election were made out by
the same iedividualow the next day ; and that the elec.
lion in the said division was illegal and void .
These are certaln'y merlons charged to be made against
election Often). The evidence produced to them
showed 'that one of the inspectors became lotexteated.
There was Witter in the room, but the other officers are
not shown - to have been incapacitated for the perform
ante of their dulls*. On the contrary, it is clearly proved'
that at this poll the votes were taken without confusion
during the entire day. Ito 0130 testified to any single act,
of any one but Fields, indicative of Intoxication,
The charge against the officers generally we do not'

Fields seems to have produced no effect upon the el soden.
Ruch conduct' in en election

Bible and worthy of puniehment, has not been considered
sufficient to invelidele the election. In Bolleau'e cate,d
Parsons, 563, a similar occurrence took place without bee

of the vetoer polled. It is further alleged in this spectats
lion that the cfficere disregarded the dine lope err the
law, In the receipt Of .votee of persons not on the list of
taxable. without' requiring the proof to entitle them to

conduct of those parties. a. far as the perrormaeoe or the

the:elections held by them were proven to be obnoxious to

The only question, then, is whether the fact that some

In the matter of the contested election of Robert Ewing.
more than twenty qualified elector, of this county filed
a petition in this court contesting the election of -Robert
Swing to the office of sheriff (); the county of Philadel
phia.. Ude petition contained a large number of apeoiti-.
cations. All of these, with the exception of the first five,.
were withdrawn diving the progress of the case, becenae .
the lust five in various methods attacked the oonetita--
tlouality of what has been called the army vote, and the
Stmreme.Conrt having decided that the act of Ammo:tidy
under which that vote wee cast was unconstitutional,
and therefore void, the ostensible entire majority for
Robert Swiog dieappeara, and John Thompson received;

At the recent election some I,6ooadditional names were
enrolled in this city as liable to draft. the parties having
become naturalized between the time of makleg the en

- Cause of the great demand for naturalization Peseta

those who have been drafted. When the subject is viewed
in its p'oper light. it is rather honorable than other Wise
.to be dratted; and when the drafted man accepts his fate
to serve hip country cheerfully and with alacrity, we
claim for him the highest boner. The mechanic who is
dratftd performs a double duty for his coontry. He first,
by his labor and energy, contributed to the support of the
