The Hospitals on Thanksgiving —ln addition to the hospital celebrations on Thauks glyirg day, mentioned In The Press of yesterday, we giro the following: In reference to the Thanksgiving festival at the Geoige-slreot Hospital we unintentionally did irjnetice to the majority of the ladies interested.in the dinner by awarding the credit of the whole to those of the Bev. Mr. Chandler’s (now Mr. Eva’s) church. Wo learn from a fr.qneut visitor of the inaiitotion that there are seven committees of ladies—consisting of six each-who visit the hospi ai weekly, and not onlr give their time, but also largo contributions of clothing and provisions for the comfort of the men, These committees repurent the following churches and associations, vis: The Front Btreet M. E. Church, Bt. John’s M. E. Thurch, Second Baptist Ohnrch, First Presbyterian Church, Ladles’ Aid Society of Sixteenth Ward, Deborah Franklin Council 80, 2, D, of Americi, and an inde pendent association of benevolent 1 idles from.diffs.ront churches. Each committee has its day, and makes such provision for that day as It pleases, being entirely inde pendent of 81l the others. ' In the Thanksgiving dinner referred to these commit tees contributed an canal share, aad are therefore enti tled to eaual praise. The after-dinner exercises were presided over by the pastor of the Front-street M, E. Church, and consisted of a speech to English by the Bev, A. W. Milby, and one in German by Rev. Geo.

Colored PassingßBB in Railway CABS —At tbe annual Union Thanksgiving mse tag Of the churches of tbe Reformed Presbyterian and United Presbyterian denominations in this city, held on Thurs- day afternoon, ot the chuTch of Rev. William Bterrett, Twenty-second Btreet, near Oallowblll, addresses were made by Bev. Messrs. Grow, Prloe, Dr. Wylie, George H. Btuart, and others Mr. Price, oi Brentford, referred, in a feeling manner, to the death of Bev, Bichard Boberson, as the result of his exclusion from a Prankford car, and being compelled, on a dark and stormy night, to occupy the platform of said car. At the conclusion cf the meeting, Bev. A. G. McAuley, of Kensington, rose and offered a resolution that a com mittee, coneiating of six laymen, (three from each of the denominaliona here represented,) be appointed to print »rd circulate a peiliion in favor of permitting all respec table or well-behav6d persons to occupy the cars, irre spective bi condition or color. The resolution was adopted by the meeting without dissent, and the following persons appointed to attend to tbe matie:: Dr. Me Murray, Alex ander Kerr, Thomas Stinson, Wm. Getty, Wm. S. Young. . Pobk and Sausages.—This week has Inaugurated the period of pork and the season of aanssges. Pigs are plenty and scrapple not scarce; porkers are prime, and shoals supernumerary. From Monday morn until Tuesday eve the swinish stream poured In 5 their snonts snivelling In the air, their tails trembling in the rear, and their feet dabbling In the mire. They were led like iambs to the slaughter (honse), and'fell beneath the blow of the butcher. Interested parties explain that where pork abounds scrofula does much more abound and that incorrigible sausage-eaters have a tendency to barking. At any rate, pork ii.very low priced tbiß season, and a large quantity of Sussex pork, the variety most sought after, is on hand In re gard to sausages, wo would merely say that ever Bince, years ago, we need to 1 .ok at and envy the comfortable-' looking, fat old market women munching their sausages and coffee soaked buckwheat cakes, as they sat bundled up in blanket shaw.s. lauding their cabbages, and specu lating at once on potatoes and polities; ever since those early dayiywe have looked with affection and respect upon fried sausages. Whal is technically called 'crack ling in pork Is also > eatable, when well browned. Ball roads have been overloaded with the commodity of pork In all its stager, and this fact will carry delight to the thousand bosoms which delight more in the hog roasted than the hog wallowing in the mire. Ecabcity op Ooopbbs —That media* nics are aoaiee, is daily illustrated in a variety of ways. Shetaut that placards abound bearing the words “old barrels wanted," is sufficient evidence of the scarcity of coopers. In the Army of tbe Potomac, however, coopers are as well represented as any of the otter trades. With the flour-barrel wagons that traverse the streets every;, body Is familiar With a big rack upon their frimei, ..they are driven from grocery to grocery, and from taker's shop to baker’s shop. Paster than floor-barrels are emptied these collectors are ready to buy them up atgood prices. Just now they are more plentiful than new ones. Indeed, there are lew or no new floor-barrels to report, and touch of the city- made flour Is now packed En old barrels. As high as thirty one cents eaoh for old barrels Is paid by barrel collecto a, who in turn make their profit from the millers. By having a cooper- shop in connection with their teems, this rises of operators drove a snug little business until rece: tly. The competiti, nls now so ac tive that the price of barrels, like that of cotton, is very buoyant.

LEGAL INTELLIGENCE, Supreme Court of Pennsylvania at Pittsburg. THE SHERIFF'S' CASE. Opinion of Chief Justice Rowan on the .Motion to Qozsh the Writ of Obrtiobabi. The telegraphic despatch of Monday last, announcing the decision of th& Supreme Court on.the motion to quash the writof certiorari, gave none of the partioulars of the opinion in the case, but simply announood ths conciurion that had been arrived at. A certified copy oi that opinion was received yesterday afternoon, and we present it this morning to our readers. -=**" ? Certiorari to Quarter Sessions of Thompson el al : ) - Philadelphia County. The opinion of ihe court was delivered at Pittsburg, Novimber 25th, ’62, by Lowrie, C. J ■■■■"»)■ This is a case ot contestedelection of Bheriff'of Phila delphia. It was tried in tbe Quarter Seeiiona.purju tot to tbe act of 2d July, 1839, directing suoh a proceeding, ■ and af.-er a very full hearing on the merits 'if- was de-: cidtd that John Thompson, and not Robert Ewing, was duly elected. The esse Is now brought here by a writ Oi ceitloitri, and cn behalf of Mr.,Thompson, tt is ob jected that there is no sufficient cause for the writ, and he moves to quash it unless sufficient cause be now sfcown. This Is the motion which we are now to decide, and it has been argued before ns at great length and with great ability. Being a question involving a political and psrf.san contest, It Is, of course, a disagreeable one. Bnt law rises above ati parties and shares in no partisan excitements, and this indicates the frame tf mind re- Qu'red by those who are appointed to administer the law. It respects the earnestness, and even the excitements, of all Eocial efforts on proper social matters; bnt, when these excitements run into actual collisions, tt Is ever reedy to separate the combatants by the application of its owe- established measure of right In this, as in all cases, it demands that those who administer it snail do *0 in the very spirit of the law, and without any taint of tbe spirit that Is peculiar to Cither party In the contest. It is generally inevitable that one or other of the parties will be dissatisfied with the result, and,'therefore, It is probable that it will be so In this case. Qur duty in this caae it a very restricted one; for, as is admitted, we cannot retry the case on tbe evidence but cen.only coneiler whether it was tried before a compe tent authority and in pronsr form, and only such (idea tions have been raised before ns. -Let ns consider, in detail, the anawei a-given to the mntion to quash the writ; and, first, those that relate to the action or thiß court One of tbtm is that the writ was duly issued, and, therefore, ongbt not t@ be quashed. We need not stop to discuss this allegation of fact; for™ even If it be trne, it does not follow that the writ may not be afierwaida (mashed, If, on a motion made for the pur pore, the court should think there Is no sufficient cause to justify It, The instances in which this has been done are so numerous, and so generally sanctioned, that it is Quite unnecessary to refer to any of them. Another is that the party issuing the writ out of the 'Esetein District oaght not to be required to go .to -the Western District to answer the motion: - Of oourse, nothing could be gained for this case, but delay, by this objection ; and the: prevention of this is one or-the very purpoees or the motion to Quash. It is very common for us, in urgent and important causes, especially public ones, to app hit the hearing of thecanse or of some preliminary question In It in whatever district we maF happen to be sitting when the: exigency arises, and there"-is nothing In the law to prevent this Wedid so in the equity branch, of this cage, in favor of Mr. Ewing’s bill for an injuao t‘on, and it seems strange that he should object now when the same rule is,applied in favor of the other party. We have many times done the same thing in cases of urgency, and when delay would itself have done manifest injustice. - ‘ ' Besides ibis, it was one of the conditions on which a msjoiity of this court agreed to grant the injunction In favor of Mr. Swing in this matter, that this motion to qcssh might be made here: and he cannot, with any justice, accept the benefit or that, and reject the condi tions imposed, and understood ay him to be imposed, in granting It. And it la no proper answer for him to say that Mr. Thompson and the. publio so far respected our opinion accompanying the order, as to make the order itself unnecessary, and that therefore he may reject its conditions. The counsel seemed to think that it was a fair objection to the motion, that it was suggested by us, and not by the counsel. Why so l It is generally the ease that a pre liminary in junction is granted on such terms as the court may think proper to impose, having any proper connec tion with the traneaoUstt in dispute, and usually it dic tates the terms Itself, according to what it may thiuk the exigencies of the case may require; and very often one of the terms is some provision for a speedy, hearing of the matter on Its merits," either‘ in the equity esse or in some action at law. , • In many cases this Is a plain and obvious duty, and we tbonghfn was so in a case of so much importance to the public interests as this one. We thought it our duty to say to Mr. Ewing, we wilt stay the intrusion of Mr. Thompson on condition that yon speed the hearing; when we were saying to Mr. Thompson you ought to have moved to quash the certiorari rather than act in disre gard of it. Nothing Is more usual anr proper than such suggestions by the court, and it requires very little reading or observation to be ensured of the fact. We refer to some oases, where Lord Mansfield and other judges have made the -same suggestion in ; relation [to the writ of certiorari, 2 Burr, TO-i2 : Oowp, 283 ; 2 Term R ,234; 13 Wend,, 871. We often suggest to counsel that they have not assigned the proper errors to coine at the merits- of their ease, and allow them to amend. We should.think ourselves much to blame if we should; ollow'a party to suffer wrong by a miitake of the remedy, when we could savehim from It by suggesting the proper one. = . : i. . Having thus deposed of these preliminary objsctions, let ue now consider those that relate to the merits of the case, so far as they may be reviewed by ns on acertio rari. ■ - 1 ->-y : ' One'objection is, that Mr. Ewing waß not- allowed to' aver end show * that, in several election divisions, no tally papers, and in several others, no return papers were filed in the Protbonotary’s office, as the law requires. No doubt thte was a very grave negleot of : plain duty on the part Of the election officers; but what merit does this fact furnish to Mr. Ewing’s claim ? Mr. Thompson claims: the c ffice, because the general return, striking out tne illegal votes appearing on it, shows that he is enti tled to it The legal form is, therefore, In his -favor, and it become b necessary for: Mr-.-Ewing to show fraud of mistake in making up this ferm. and that the actual facts of the voting are in his-favor. - Surely, the neglect of the officers to flle tbe papers referred to has no sortoftendenoy to provo this. That certain papers were not filed in the - •proper tffice does not tend to prove that the return judges erroneously entered, and summed up, In their genera!re t-rna, the division returns reported to them, Qagain :t Is objected that in one election division, which reports a majority of-twenty-two for Mr; Thompson’, the jadge of iho election was 'absent from duty during the greater part of tbe day, and that the court-refused this to bo averred and shown. This is the aisertion Of very serious official misconduct on tbe.part of tbe effiber, and poesibiy tf vitiates the vote of thedlvision. But we need not decide this, and do not, because, even II these votes were stricken out; Mr. Thompson would stdi have a ms- j iority. -T - ’ , Another objection is, that the court, In-tbe course of the, j proceeding, refused to allow. Mr ■ Ewing to ameodhis,; answer ■ by -adding an .averment that to one division illegal votes to the number of «> three and upward,” or, j bo hfswftneas says,.“at least three,” were received for ’ Mr. Thompson: We do not need to say whether the re- S fnsat was a proper or improper exercise.of discretion by the court on the subject of amendments, bedauss, even if the averment -hsd been allowed and proved, and these votes bad been added to the. twenty-two before named. It would not have disproved Mr. Thompson’s right to the office. These three objections are ail that refer to the merits of Ibe election itself. There are ethers that relate merely to the form, ot.ihe proceedlns in the Quarter Sessions for contesting the electionreturn, and we shall now consider these.- v -One of them Is,.that the court erred In hot quashing Ike whole petition of Mr. Ewing’d opponents, because teveralof Us specifications contained contradictory aver ments? If this had. been done., Mr. Ewing would hwe gained bis cause, not on the merits and nor by discredit ing the general return, but merely because of some Irre gularity In' his adversaries’ pleading. We. cannot favor such an objection, even If the alleged, contradiction were apparent, which is not the case. The true way to correct such a fault would be to strike out the contradictory parte, and not those which were not attested by the in compatibllity, and which ofthemsrivos furnished inde- ‘ pendent ground of attacking Mr. Ewing’s title. Besides ' tbit, there is no sort of merit in this objection; all the suppled objection able specifications were after-' wards withdrawn by the petitioners, and the caao of Mr. .Thompson was gained without them. . ■ - , Another objection is. that only one judge of the Quar ter Sessions was.on the bench when the petition for era testing the election; was presented, and the tims fixed for the hearing of the parties, whereas the Constitution requires two judges for a quorum. There are two suffi cient answers to this: the allegation is not sustained by the record; and there is no merit in the ob.action, even if tho faot wete as alleged, since no objection was mido to proper time on this aocount, and lt'ia not pretended that, at any other part of the hoaring 3r proceeding, there were not two jndgds present. Another objection is, that Mr. Ewing’s commission cannot be impeaohed by means of.thisform of proceed ing. But it might rather be eaid that this proceeding, Instituted according to law, to contest Mr. E wing's elec tion, cannot be frustrated by .a commission issued after wards. ( Such a commission can be regarded only as provisional, or as a cemmlsslonpcndenfe fife, if the pro ceeding should be successful, just as a commission iu si milar cases is declared to be in military elections by the act of 2d April, 18512, Bed 20. Lattly, it is objected that the act of 1839, instituting this form of proceeding is unconstitutional, iu so far as it deprives a party claiming a right to a public office by a popular election, ot a trial by jury of all disputed facta. If this objection is well .founded, then.every step in the official organization of the Btate. or to the perpetua tion of its organization, might stand io need of the sane tion of a jnry, and is potentially subject to the delays and expense of a jury trial, except in the election of Governor and members of tho Legislature, iu relalion to which tbo Constitution makes special provision-; Then all the laws providing for contested..elections of Council men to every city and borough of tbo State are dneon atitutional. Then all the numerous laws regulating the msnner of contesting election returns of the judges, pro ffconotarlea,- registers, district attorneys,-jasdoes.of the peace, constables, military officers, and all State, oounty, town, and township officers, except Governor and "mem bers of the Lfglslatute, are unconstitutional and void; and; contrary to the practice of the people and their officejs to all departments, the State cannot organize itself without the aid of juries. Then, also, the act of 1769, that mede the Governor the judge of contested ebctienß of sheriffs and coroners, was nnconsUtntional. Th;B objection, therefore, ha- a fearful sweep, if ittbas; ariy force, end we should stand appalled before it, it we should feel its foroe to be equM to its preteneionS. We do not feel it eo. ir ~ It is not iu tbo act of organization of the State, nor in tbe perpetuation of its organic succession, but in the ad.- minietratlon of rights under the organization, that tbe Constitution secures tbo right of trial by jury! Tbe jury is tbe poputar element in the determination of rights which need enforcement by means of the S ate organist-, tion ; bnt there is a much larger popular element in our eleotione, the votes of all the people, and a ! our psHHcal practice shows that we have not considered a jury ’an es sential means of deciding contested elections of ’public officers. * V •- . We see nothing but inexpediency to prevent the Legis lature from declaring that the proof ss of election should end.wHb the general return, and tbat.that should be con clusive evideuoe of. title to office or commission;. But they have wisely chosen not to do eo; and have appointed the court to finish the prooess if the general return be crntisted, by a proper review of the work of the election c fficeie. And es they have not required that the court should have the atd of a jury for this part of the process, BDr more than for any previous part, no such aid oaa be dem*nded of right by either party, nor is it allowable. We all agree, therefore, in thinking that no sufficient cause is shown in support of this writ. . It is considered and ordered that the writ of certlorari he quashed, and the i ecord is remitted.; PHILADELPHIA BOARD OF TRADE? IBBAEL MCBBIS, ; 1 JO UPff 0. GBHBB, > OoHiniTiior thiMosie. EDMHND A.
