SELECT BRANCH.
Mr. LIMD, president, in the chair.
Upon the roll being called, Mr. NICHOLSON, upon
leave being granted, asked to withdraw the petition
of Patrick O'Rourke, who claimed the seat from the
Twenty-fifth writ d.
A motion was made that the petition be with
drawn.
Mr. WXTITERILL objected, on the ground that the
Committee on Law, who had this subject under con
sideration, were ready to report.
The motion was therefore withdrawn.
Petitions and Communications.
For the location of the Globe Engine Company as
a steam fire engine company.
For a fire-alarm box in the house of the Friendship
Fire Company. •
The "Extra Service" Bill Vetoed by the
Mayor.
A communication was received from the Mayer,
returning, . without his signature, the bill entitle d
" A n ordinance to pay the clerics and messengers of
the late Councils for extra services for the year
1662," appropriating $l,lOO for that purpose.
• The Mayor says: •' The acceptance °fan office with
a definite salary is an implied undertaking to per
form all the duties which shall On incident . thereto,
whether few or many without claim to other com
pensation.
"If new functions, not comprised among the
duties previously pertaining to the office, shall be
assigned to the official during its term, he may
equitably demand remuneration for services that
did , not Enter into his original obligation. Upon
this consideration the ordinance of December 27,
Nei, reciting that the messenger of Common Council
had been called upon to perform the duties of assist
ant clerk of that Chamber , . and the ordinance of
May 24, WM, setting forth that the assistant clerk of
00113111012 Council had been acting as its chief clerk
for eight months of the previous year, with their
respective additional appropriation, both received
my assent." •
For a more extended expression of views the
Mayor refers to the message of May 12, 1819, in
which he returned to Select Courant the only other
bill relating to extra cervices of clerks or messen
gers of Councils. The bill passed over the-veto of
the Mayor by a vote of 22 yeas to 2 nays.
Election of Heads of Departments.
Mr. OATITERWOOD offered a resolution to meet
Common Council in convention at 4y, o'clock, for
the purpose of electing the heads of departments.
Mr. Miami moved to amend by inserting "6
o'clock, unless before that time the time be changed
by act of Council."
CaTurnwoon wanted to know why there
should be any delay ; all the members had a writ of
mandamus served upon them, and It was their duty
to elect the beads at mice.
Mr, MILLER did not think the Chamber should
go into convention this afternoon. He thought it
improper at this time, before any decision had been
rendered in the case of the,contested seats.
Dr. KATUF.RLY said he understood that alt the
members of Select Council had an alternate writ of
mandamus served upon theni and he , for one, was
willing to obey the law. I ke thought there were
certain members who were using all subterfuges and
all kinds of dishonesty to avoid meeting in conven
tion.
Dr. UHLER said that the gentleman had talked
of frauds and trickeiy among the members of this
Chamber, but all he had to say was to ask the ques
tion, what is the condition of some of the members
in the opposite Chamber I
Dr. KAMERLY replied. He contended we had no
thing to do with the members of Common Coun
cil.' All we have to do is to take care of our
selves.
Dr. UHLER again arose. He said they had shown
no disposition not to meet CoMmon Council. They
only proposed to postpone for an hour or so.
Mr. MILLER said it was mentioned in court that if
the time was changed they were not bound to obey
the mandamus.
Mr. ARMSTRONO moved further to amend by
striking out six o'chick and inserting five.
Tiffs was voted down by a vote of 13 to 11.
Mr. WEAVER moved to fix the time at half past
five o'clock. Not agreed to.
Mr. ARAISTRONC moved to postpone the amend
ment.
This the Chair decided would be to postpone the
whole snidest.
The vote was then taken on Mr. Miller's amend
ment, and passed by a vote 003 yeas to 11 nays.
The resolution then paved. •
Mr. MILLER now offered an ordinance changing
the time for electing the heads or departments until
the last meeting of March next. .
The bill was read, and, on motion to suspend the
rules, the yeas and nays were called by Mr. CATII
ERWOOD. The vote stood 13 yeas and 11 nays. The
bill was, therefore, laid over.
Insurance of Public lintlitings.
The Committee on City Property reported an or
dinance,ms king an appropriation of $6OO for the
purpose of efibding a fire Insurance of $lO,OOO on the
building at the southeast corner of Sixth and Mein
nut streets, and $6,000 on each of 'the State House
wings. Agreed to.
The Seat of Pat. O'Rourke.
The Committee on Law who had under comae
ration the petition of Pat". O'Rourke, who claimed
the seat from the Twenty-fifth ward, asked to be
discharged from any further consideration of the
subject.
Mr. NICHOLSON new wished to withdraw the pe
tition of Mr. O'Rourke.
Mr. Zane thought we should not act too hastily
in this matter. Ile moved the reference of the whole
matter to a special committee.
Mr. MILLER sold he thought that, if Mr. O'Rourke
desired, he should have • the power to withdraw his
petition.
The motion of Mr. Zane was voted down, and
leave was granted to withdraw the petition.
Resolutions.
Mr. Wirrituntra, oilbred a resolution that the
commissioners for the erection of a municipal hos
pital be allowed the use of the property on Hart's
lane, if they deem it suitable for the purpose.
Agreed to.
A resolution was offered to inquire into the expe
diency of raising the rents of the houses belonging
to the Girard estate, which were reduced in 1858.
Mr. ARMSTRONG offered a resolution that the City
Solicitor be requested to tent the right of certain pea
sons to lay railroad tracks on Lombard and South
streets. Agreed to.
The Heirs of Stephen Girard.
Mr. GINNODO arose to make a statement. He
Understood the heirs of Stephen Girard had peti
tioned the Legislature to have their place of venue
changed from Philadelphia to Allegheny county, on
the ground that they cannot have an impartial trial
in the former place. He arose to say that Councils
should take some action in this matter, and no one
should be allowed to filch the orphans of the Girard
College.
In connection with this matter, Mr. WRTHERILL
offered a resolution to send a sub-committee of the
Committee on Girard Estates to Harrisburg to en
deavor to prevent the passage of the bill referred to
by Mr, Glimodo. Agreed to.
Bills from Common Council.
The resolution to print 1,000 copies of the Mayor's
message in pamphlet form, was referred to the Com
mittee on Supplies.
The ordinance appropriating $7OO to print 1,000
copies of the Controller's annual statement was
concurred in.
The resolution from Common Council to meet in
convention,
for the purpose of electing heads of
departments, was amended so as to read 6 o'clock
instead of 43.
At the appointed hour, Select Council proceeded
to Common Council, to elect the heads of depart
ments.
The Chamber, upon reassembling, concurred in
several bills from Common Council, and then ad
journed.
COMMON BRANCH.
Mr. PAINTER presented a petition from citizens
of the Sixteenth ward, requesting that the Globe
Fire Company be located as a steam fire engine com
pany.
Mr. Damn, chairman of the Committee on Fi
nance, reported a resolution approving the sureties
of John McMullen, collector of taxes in the Twenty
third ward. Adopted.
Municipal Doctunents.
The same committee reported an ordinance ma
king a special appropriation , of $7OO to the depart
ment of the City Contro ll er, for the purpose ofpub
lishing, in pamphlet form, one thousand copies of
the annual statement of the Controller for 1862.
Mr. Quinte contended that such an expenditure
would serve no purpose except to give ajob to some
lucky printer. The report is already printed in the
journal of,Councils, and if members of Council desire
to refer to it let them procure ajournal, and thus
avoid putting the city to an unnecessary expense.
Mr. BA/RD, on the contrary, thought that such an
expenditure would be beneficial to the community,
for every one is interested in knowing how the pub
lic money is expended, and that knowledge cannot
be obtained unless the report is conveniently print
ed in pamphlet form.
Mr. F. W. ADAMS contended that the pamphlets
should be printed, and circulated extensively, that
the community may be enlightened as to the ex
penditures of Councils.
Mr. Quix moved an amendment, that three hun
dred copies of the journal be bound fur the purpose
contemplated In the ordinance. Not agreed to.
The ordinance then passed.
Mr. Baum offered a resolution providing for the
printing of 1,000 copies of the Mayor's message.
Agreed to.
Mr. Qum presented an ordinance abolishing the
office of Commissioner of Highways, and that the
duties of Naid.offlce be performed by the Chief Corn
miasioner of Highways, with the assistance of the
supervisors.
The ordinance was made the special order of the
day for next Thursday three weeks.
A. Request or Select Council.
Mr. Qum otiered a iceolution inviting Select
Council to meet Common Council In joint conven
tion at 45 o'clock, for the purpose of electing heads
of Departments.
Stursox moved to amend, by making, the
time 6)6 o'clock. Not agreed to.
Mr. Lnion said that, with the little he knew
about, the law, he was Inclined to think that any
election held today for heads of Departments would
not be valid, as the time legally appointed for the
election had passed.
The resolution waa finally agreed to, the Repub
licans not voting on its passage.
Extra Services
The clerk of Select' Council being announced,
Mated that that body had readopted an ordinance
appropriating $l,lOO for extra services of the clerks
and messengers of Councils, notwithstanding the
veto of the Mayor. The veto of the Mayor was
sustained in this Council—yeas 30, nays 16.
No Business.
It was half past four o'clock,the time fixed for the
election of the Heads of Departments ; Select Coup
di had not yet come in; and there being no business
before the °limber,
Mr. HARPER moved to adjourn. Not agreed to.
Mr. lamon moved that Council take a recess for
half an hour. Not agreed to.
Mr. Suresox moved' that Council adjourn until
called together by the President. Not agreed to.
Resolrttlona.
Mr. Qui:r offered an ordinance providing for the
paving of Erie and Braddock streets. Agreed to.
Illaussyssult Causes a Debate on Secession.
Mr. 6'mm:or offered a resolution to macadamize
Green lane, Manayunk.
This resolution caused much debate, as to the pro
priety or spending any appropriation on the suburb
of Manayunk.
Mr. P.MIITHR said that he objected to the resolu
tion, because lie had it from a credible authority
that to macadamize this road, fifty thousand dollars
would be required.
Mr. Sisirsow. You can pave it with gold for that.
Mr. PAlleren, Well, I suppose you could, with
such gold as the National Government is now issu
ing—a currency that will one day be repudiated, as
your resolution ought to be.
Mr. LEW ff. arose, and exaltedly said that he could
not permit the opportunity to pass, ust given by the
gentleman who last spoke, to rebuke the enemies of
the Government, which protected him as well as us.
The mutterings about the national currency and re
pudiation were more significant than what might
appear casually. The speaker was inclined to
think that they were Secession sentiments, and as
such, should be rebuked by this Chamber. The gen
tleman spoke contemptuously of the Government
currency. lie is one of those gentlemen who take
all of that eturency they can get. With the "green
backs" be can get hisbread and his meat, and buy
the house (if he has a sufficient quantity) which
shelters him from exposure. Such flings at the Go
vernment should not be permitted, especially at a
time like this.
The question was taken on the resolution amid
some confus ion, and Mr. Painter being at the time
in conversation with Mr. Leech, the resolution was
postponed, apparently without Mr. Painter's knowl
edge.
Mr. PAINTER. excitedly arose and desired to reply
to the remarks of the gentleman from the Seventh
ward (Mr. Leigh).
The Unpin. There is no business before the
Chamber, the resolution having passed.
Mr. rAINT.ER. Thea, I move to reemstder the
resolution.
The °HAIR. Did the gentleman vote In the
affirmative 'I
Mr. AIXTJ U . Yes, sir, 'great laughter.]
The resolution was not reconsidered.
Mr. PAINTER. Am lin order?
The CHAIR. No. sir, [renewed laughter],
Mr. PAINTER. Well, then, I suppose I must sub
mit.
The bills from Select Council were next taken up
and concurred in ; among them, one in reference to
the Municipal Hospital another respecting the ad
vance on the rent of (limn' Estates, and one in re
lation to insurance on the building upon Indepond•
ence Square.
The resolution with an amendment to fix the time
of electing Heads of Departments was taken up and
concurred in. (The amendment being to change the
hour. to GP. M.)
Dlr. PAINTER then arose to make a personal ex
planation.
Objected to by Mr. Qum. '
Mr. Painter wns not permitted to make the "per
sonal explanation."
Mr. PAINTER. Welt, have it some time.
passed when the Demo
[Laughter.) The day has
cracy can be charged with being Secessionists.
Mr. Ban° En. I move the gentleman be allowed
to make a personal explanation. Not agreed to.
Election of Heads of Departments.
The members of Select Council were introduced at
6 o'clock, and both °bombers went into joint con
vention for the election of heads of departments.
Mr. LYN 11, president of Select Council, took the
chair.
Nominations for Chief Commissioner of High
ways being in order,
31r.I3.utoER nominated G. W. Schofield.

The suleties of the elected heads of departmental
were then read, and referred to the Committee on
Finance.
Mr. WoLima offered a resolution, approving the
sureties submitted except those of jr.? Schofield.
Mr. PEALE moved to refer the resolution to the
Committee on Finance.
Messrs. WOLDERT and BARGER spoke against the
reference, on the ground that the sureties were the
same as those approved last year, except in the case
of the Commissioner of Highways, whose sureties
were not named in the resolution.
Mr. HARPHR said that, to pass such a resolution
ivould be establishing a precedent which might be
dangerous. It had always been the custom to ex
amine the aunties before they are approved.
Mr. LOUGHLIN said that, unless the sureties were
now approved, the officers elected could not enter
upon their duties.
Alr. PAHL was In favor of the resolution. The
sureties remain in force until released by the City
Solicitor.
The resolution was referral to the Committee on
Finance.
Mr. °AVM moved to reconsider the vote by
which the Mayor was sustained on the bill making
an appropriation to the clerks of Councils.
The bill passed, and Council adjourned.
LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania Chief
Justice Lowrie, and Justices Woodward,
Thompson, Strong, and Read.
IMPORTANT OPINIONS—TIM ACT OF APRIL, 1881,
PROVIDING TEAT NO CIVIL PROCESS SHALL ISSUE
AGAINST A SOLDIER DIMING THE TERM OP HIS
ENLISTMENT, DECLARED TO RE CONSTITUTIONAL—
PROCEEDINGS ON SIORTGAGES ExECUTED PRIOR
TO THE ACT ARE WITHIN ITS TERMS.
BreitenhaCh vs. Bush. Error to the Court of
Common Pleas of Montgomery county. Opinion of
the court by Woodward, J. The fourth section of
the act of 18th April, 1881, P. L., p. 400, is in these
words : "No civil process shall issue or be enforced
against any person mustered into the service of this
State, or of the United States, during the term for
'which he shell be engaged in such service, nor until
thirty days after he shall have been discharged
therefrom: Provided, That the operation of all
statutes of limitation shall be suspended upon all
claims against such person during such term."
The principal question upon the record is, whether
this section be constitutional. Although it occurs
in an act supplementary to the penal laws of the
Commonwealth, and does not mention the 'military
service, either of the State or of the United States,
yet it is universally understood, and no doubt cor
rectly understood, to be a stay law of all legal pro
use against soldiers mustered into the military ser
vice of the Government. Aud it is a stay for a term
—the term for which he 'shall be engaged. The act
of Congress of Md July,lBBl, under which the first
half million of volunteers were mustered into the
service of the United States, fixed the term at not
more than three years, nor less than six months,
and the affidavit which was filed on behalf of the
defendant says•that he had been mustered in for
three years or during the war. This is the same
phrase that was used in the 19th section of our
act of Assembly or 15th May, 1881, in refer
ence to the Reserve Volunteer Corps, and means
three years or less, or not exceeding three
years. The term of ' engagement, therefore. du
ring which the above section meant that the de
fendant should not be subject to civil process, was
three years from the date of his muster, if the war
should last so long and if it should not, then until
it should end. Thirty days were to be added after
his discharge, which would make the utmost extent
of the term three years and thirty days. The refer
ence to the duration of the war is a restriction of
the term, not an extension of it beyond three years
and thirty days. The duration of the war
was, at the date of the law, and still is, uncer
tain, but the maximum period of the stay—three
years and thirty days from the date of the muster—
is susceptible of ascertainment with absolute
certainty. It was suggested that the volunteer
might re-enlist at the expiration of his first term,
and because this was possible, that the term of
his engagement was necessarily uncertain. The
answer is, that the statute gives but one stay, which
Is to be computed from the time of the original
muster, and a re-enlistment would not renew the
stay. The statute refers itself for the term of
engagement to the laws that were then in force
fixing the period of enlistment, and therefore we
construe it according to the tenor of these laws.
Such being the significance and effect of the
section, was the Legislature authorized to enact it?
We have often said that stay laws, exemption
laws, and limitation laws, are ordinarily consti
tutional, though applied to existing and prior con
tracts. and we have followed the distinction which
prevails in the Supreme Court of the United States
between the obligation of the contract and the reme
dies furnished by law for enforcing the obligation..
We understand the rule to be that whilst the Legis
lature may not impair the obligation they may mo-
dify the remedy. But it sometimes happens that the
parties contract concerning the remedy ,• that they
stipulate in the body of the contract that, in case of
failure of payment by a certain day, there shall be
no stay of execution, or' that the mortgagee may
enter and sell the mortgaged estate, or that all ex
emption rights shall bc waived. In such cases the
rule is that the remedy becomes part of the obli
gation of the contract, and any subsequent statute
which affects the remedy impairs theobligation, and
is unconstitutional. Brown vs. Kenzie, 1 Howard,
322, and Billmyer vs. Evans, 4 Wr., 327, are illustra
tions of this rule. The time and manner in which
stay laws shall operate are properly legislative
questions, and will generally depend, said Judge
Baldwin, in Jackson vs. Lampsbire 3d, p. 290, on
the sound discretion of the Legislature, according
to the nature of the titles the situation of the coun
try, and the emergency which leads to their enact
ment. Oases may occur where the provisions of a
law may be so unreasonable as to amount to .a de
nial of right, and call for the interposition of the
court. In Brown, Ralguel, & Co. vs. Gorges, 6 Wr.,
441, we had an instance of an unreasonable stay
law; unreasonable because of the indefiniteness 'of
the possible stay, and of the subversion of the au
thority of the courts over judgments upon their re
cords. From the ruling in that case, and the autho
rities cited, tt may be inferred that, in respect to
contracts which do not trent of remedies, we hold
any law to be constitutional which gives a stay for a
time that is definite and not unreasonable, but un
constitutional if the stay given be for an indefinite
time, or for a time that is unreasonable, though
definite.
We have seen that the stay given by the act of
1861 was not indefinite as to its maximum duration,,
but was, for a period, certain and prefixed, or ..at
the least a period that is capable of being easily re
duced to certnint y. Was that period reasonable?
The stay is a long one, it must be confessed—longer
than is usual—longer than can be justified, except by
most peculiar and pressing circumstances. There is
great force in the reasons which the learned judge
below urged against it. The enforced delay of a civil
right, the deterioration of a mortgaged estate, and
the consequent pecuniary loss, ere entitled to great
consideration in judging of the reasonableness of the
law. Everybody feels that a stay of remedies on a
mortgage for fifty years, for instance, would be a
wanton sacrifice of the constitutional rights of the
citizen. What better is a stay for a lees time if it
be long enough to work essential depreciation of thg
security 7
Yet it is impossible to separate this question .of
reasonableness from the actual circumstances in
which the country found itself at the date of the
law. Eleven States had seceded or revolted from
the Federal Union, and had set up an independent
Government within the jurisdiction of the Constitu
tion of the United States, and armed possession had
been taken of forts, arsenals, custom houses, navy
yards, and other property of the United States
within the boundaries of the revolted States. In the
judgment of the President and Congress, who were
the duly constituted authorities, the occasion re
quired an immense increase of the army and navy,
and the active employment of both of these strong
arms to subdue the rebellion and restore the Union.
Accordingly, Congress authorized the President to
accept volunteers and to call upon the States for
their militia. He did both, and a vast army has
been in the field for many months.
Now, if a stay of execution for three years would
not be tolerated in ordinary times, did not these cir
cumstances constitute an emergency that would,jus
tify the pushing of legislation to the extremest limit
of the Constitution? No citizen could be blamed for
volunteering. He was invoked to do so by appeals
as strong 'as his love of country. In the nature of
things there is nothing unreasonable in exempting a
soldier's property from execution whilst he is absent
from home battling for the supremacy of the Consti
tution arid the integrity of the 'Union. And when
he has not run before he was sent, but has yielded
himself up to the call of his country, his selesacri.
&sing patriotism pleads trumpet-tongued for all the
indulgence from his creditors which the Legislature
have power to grant. If the term of indulgence
seem long in this instance, it was not longer than
the time for which the President and Congress de
manded the soldier's services. It was not for him,
nor is tt for ins to rejudge the discretion of the Pre
sident and Congress in this regard. Basing our
selves on what they did constitutionally, the ques
tion for us is whether the stay granted by our own.
Legislature to our citizen soldiers was unreasona
ble'? In view of the extraordinary circumstances of
the case, we cannot pronounce it unreasonable. We
see in it no wanton or careless disregard of the obli
gation of contracts, but only a sincere effort to ena
ble the General Government to prosecute with suc
cess a war which in its exclusive right of judgment
it resolved to wage.
Another circumstance which bears on the reason
ableness of the enactment is the provision which
suspends all statutes of limitation in favor of the
soldier during all the time that he is exempted from
process. The provisions were reciprocal, and both
were reasonable.
An argument against theapplicability rather than
the constitutionality of the fourth section, was
drawn from the nature of the contract in suit and of
the process which the plaintiff was employing. The
proceeding was on a mortgageand the writ sought
to be stayed was a /evert facies. Counsel say the
word "process" in the fourth section means only
that original process by which debtors are sued. We
do not think so. "No civil process shall issue or
he enforced" are words comprehensive enough to in
clude all forms of execution as well as original and
ravine process. The 'word "enforced" implies exe
cution process and would, scarcely apply to any
other. Nor .is there anything 'in the nature of a
mortgage to exempt it from the stay law. A mort
gage is indeed a contract, and so within the pro tee
tion of - the constitutional . provisions ' which forbid
'the:State to impair contracts, but its constitutional
inviolability is no higher than that of a bond or pro
missory note. The. Legislature cannot Impair the
obligations of any contract, on a suspension of tee
medies for a definite and reasonable time, does not
transcend the legislative faculty, because it impairs •
not the obligation of the contract. If the parties .
adjust or modify the legal remedies for themselves, , .
by making them an express and substantive part of..
their contract, they cannot as to that particular:-
contract, be changed by the Legislature' but where,
the parties, whether ton mortgage or other contract, , ;'
have not treated about the remedies, the constitu- '
tional power of the Legislature is subject only to
the limitations above suggested. The notion that
the process peculiar to a mortgage. bcoomes ANN
eerily an evinces part of the contract is more fend•
ful than sound. The wire facias and levari facias
are no more bargained about in a mortgage, than the
svmmons end ficri facias in a promissory note.
The law-making power prescribes all these writ s,
and fixes their Nam; and modes of operation, and
therefore may modify them within constitutional
limits. All contracts that do not stipulate differ
ently are supposed to he made in subordination to
Ibis power, and hence they arc not impaired when
the power is executed.
Tire confession of judgment which the defendant
situed on the 21st of May, 1860, contained these
words: "Execution to stay until the -Ist day of
April next." It is agreed. on the authority of Bill
roues vs. Evans, 4 Wi., 325, that this was a stipula
tion about a stay which the act of 1801 could not al
ter. The words in that ease were " without a stay
of execution after the day of payment," and we hold
that the Legislature could not add a stay in viola
tion of the agreement. The difference in the two
melt is apparent. Here the creditor granted a stay
to a fixed date—the debtor stipulating nothing in
respect to his liability after that date—there the
debtor stipulated that there should he no stay after
the day of payment. The Legislature there contra
dicted the express stipulation—here it does not;
whilst the Legislature never grants a second stay
additional to a former legal stay, they may superadd
a legal stay to a prior one voluntarily given by the
creditor. That is all that was done here.
Baying thus sustained the constitutionality of the
4th section of the act of 1861, and having found it
applicable to the case before us, it is obviously unne
cessary for us to consider whether the act of 211 of
April. 1862, is in force or superseded by subsequent
legislation, and whether if in force it is applicable to
this case.
Before dismissing the cause it is proper to observe
that cases like this should come up by appeal, for as
the affidavit of military is no part of the record, it
is not brought before us by a writ of error. It was
proposed nn the argument and understood to be as
sented to by counsel, that this case should he treated
as if here on appeal, anti we have disposed of it
accordingly.
And now. to wit, February 26, this cause having
been argued and fully considered, it is adjudged that
the order of the court discharging the rule of June
16, 1862, be reversed and set aside, and the said rule
is here made absolute.
Charlei ti.. Coxe, executor of Edmund S. Coxe,
deceased, vs. John L. Martin. Certificate from Nisi
Prim. Opinion of the court by Woodward, J.
This was a scire resifts sue mortgage, to which the
defendant pleaded, in abatement, that he had been
mustered into the service of the United States as a
private in the 46th Regiment, P. V., for the term of
three years, unless sooner discharged, under a requi
sition from the Piesitlent of the United States. The
plaintiff demurred to this plea, and assigned five
causes of demurrer, the first of which was that the
defendant had not brought himself within any act of
Congress or act of Assembly in force at the time of
making the mortgage, whereby such process is pro
hibited, and the fifth of which causes was that the
act of 6th April, 1861, has no relation to a mort
gage, and the writs enforcing the mortgage-debt
against the property pledged thereby, The other
three causes of demurrer relate to the construction
of the act of 23d April, 1822..
Now, if it be granted that the defendant has not
. brought himself within the act of 1822, why is he not
entitled to the stay given by the act of 18611 The
plaintiff answers, first, because the act of 1861 was
not in existence when the mortgage was made on
the 6th of June, 1860.
But this court has said in many cases, and have
just repeated in the opinion filed to-day, in the case
of Brietenbach vs. Bush, from Montgomery county,
that the Legislature are constitutionally competent
to pass stay laws applicable_to prior contracts. The
learned counsel for the plaintiff does not mean,l
presume, to deny this as a general proposition, hlt
he argues that no law subsequent to a mortgage can
take away the right of the mortgagee to have a sale
of the premises, if the debt be not paid, because the
remedy in such cases (a contelect pledging property as
security under laws universally in operation, by
wkicltthe pledge can be enforced as against the pro
perty). is a part of the contract, and cannot be sus-.
pended or trammeled without involving a breach of
the Constitution.
The mortgage has not been exhibited taus; but if it
were not in the common form of Pennsylvania
mortgages, it no doubt would - have been placed be
fore us. Assuming that it is like our general run of
mortgages, it is in form a deed of conveyance, with
a clause of defeasance, on condition that the debt
therein recited be paid when due. Nothing is said
about legal remedies to enforce payment in case
of default. The wire facins is given by our old act
of 1;05, no allusion to which is contained in the
mortgage. This remedy does not arise out of the
contract; it is conferred upon It by the Legisla
ture; and because conferred by the legislative
power of the State, it may be suspended by the same
power, under the pressure of, public exigencies,
for a' time that is neither indefinite nor- unrea
sonable. Thithnortgage was made subject to that
power; all contracts within the State are so made: -
The power permeates them all, if not express
ly excluded by the contracting parties. No such
contract, therefore, is violated when the power acts,
unless it transcends its constitutional limits. In
Bronson vs. Kinzie, I How., 312, there are dicta
which go farther than we carry the rule, but the
point actually in judgment coincides with what is
here laid down. Kinzie '
the mortgager, covenanted
in the 'mortgage that, if default should' be made in
the payment of principal or interest, it should be
lawful for Bronson to enter upon and sell the mort
ga.,ed premises at public auction, and, as attorney
of'Hinzie and wife, to convey the same to the pur
chaser, and out of the proceeds of the sale to retain
the amount due, with the costs and charges of the
sale, rendering the overplus, if any, to Kinzie.
Default occurring, Bronson filed a bill in chancery
to foreclose the mortgage, when he was met by.twt
acts of Assembly of Illinois, Immo( subsequent to
the date of, the mortgage, one of wfhich gave mort.
gagers a right of redemption for twelve menthe after
the day of the sale of mortgaged ?minims, and the
other of which provided that, when any execution
should issue for the sale of real estate, three house
holders should be called in to appraise it, and when
the property should be offered for sale, it should not
be struck off unless two-thirds of the amount of
such valuation should he bid therefor.
It is obvious that both of these acts of Assembly
were in direct conflict with the covenant of the par
ties, and Chief Justice Taney, after saving many
things which we could not follow strictly, placed
himself at length on what we regard as the true
ground of decision: "It is impossible to read this
covenant," he said, "and compare it with the laws
now under consideration ' without seeing that both
of these acts materially interfere with the express
agreement of the parties contained in their cove
nant."
On comparison of the mortgage sued on with the
law now under consideration, there would be nothing
found in the law to contradict any covenant of the
mortgage. For this reason the doctrine of the above
case, whilst it justifies the distinction I have takea,
does not admit of application to the mortgage in suit
here. There is no conflict between the terms of the
mortgage and the terms of the law. The mortgage
does not say there shall be no suspensionof remedies.
What the plaintiff complains of is, that the law
making power which furnished the wire faciae has
interposed to stay it for a season. Such legislation
violates no contract, and, u n leas the stay be unreason
able, calls for no interposittbn of the judicial power.
A second reason why the act of 1861 is not appli
cable to this mortgage is said to be that the process
intended to be stayed was personal process, and not
that against property.
A ecire facies is personal process, as is proved by
the rule which requires a personal service, or two.
Millis as equivalent to personal service. It is, in
some sense, a proceeding in rem, also, but it is mani
festly embraced by the very comprehensive words
of the statute: "NO civil process shall Mime or be
enforced against any person," Sc.
A *etre facies on mortgage is civil process issued
and enforced against persons who own the mort
gaged premises.
These observations, with those that were made in
Brietenbach vs. Bush, are sufficient to show that we
consider all proceedings to enforce mortgages as
within the words and spirit of the act of 1861, and
that the act is not unconstitutional in respect to
mortgages drawn in the ordinary form.
We agree that it is a great liberty the Legislature
takes with a creditor's mortgage, but the occasion is
extraordinary, and the stretch of power must be es
timated by the exigencies.which it forth.
When we look at the actual circumstances of the
country we cannot deny the legislative power to in
tervene in the manner complained of.
The 'udgment is affirmed.

Commonwealth nerd John R. McCurdy vs. Isaac

should not issue against defendant, to show cause
why he holds and exercises the office of member of
Common Council from the Twenty-fourth ward.
Before reported. The opinion .of the court was de
livered by the Chief Justice yesterday morning, ills
missing the rule.
The court say that this is " very plainly a case
where there are two claimants for the very same
office, which only one of them can have ; and, there
fora, it is a case of contested election, and must be
tried in the mode that is specially provided foe in
such cases, and not by the ordinary form of Judicial
process. Does the allegation of fraud in the election
or in the conduct of the return Judges, or any of
them, or in the conduct of any of the candidates pro
curing votes and obtaining the certificates, give rise
to any other remedy? No, certainly not ; for all
these are matters that can be fully tried in the spe
cial mode provided by the statute, and all of them
are intended to be tried in that way."

Electric Oil Transaction.
A young man who had his nanie docketed at the
Central Station yeaterday afternoon as H. S. Steel,
was arraigned before Mr. Alderman Battler by Of
Collura on the general charge of larceny. The
following evidence was elicited : Charles Smith,
the well-known dealer in electric oil, testified that
early in the year 1862 the defendant came to his
store, kept at that time at 108 South Eighth street.
He proposed becoming a travelling agent for me. I
sent him sB6.worth of goods, and, as I learn, he
brought them back to Philadelphia, and, to the best
of my knowledge and belief, he sold thorn to parties
in this city. lam informed by Messrs. Johnson &
Holloway, on Arch street, that he deposited the
goods with blr. Jackson. I also sent some gobds to
him marked C.O.D. (cash on delivery.) These were
for a customer, and I was annoyed considerably.
The defendant came into my store this morning for
the first time since the transaction, and I had him
arrested. I might have bad him arrested shortly i
after the business was transacted, but I was sent to !
the debtors' apartment for a love scrape. I shall be 1
ready to-morrow to produce witnesses as to what I
the defendant did with my goods. The case here
closed, and the defendant was required to cater bail
in the sum of $5OO to appear this afternoon at two
o'clock. •
Mania-a-poin and Domestic Difficulty.
Patrick Gaffney, the keeper of a liquor store at
Water and Callowhill streets, was arraigned at the
Central Station;on the charge of beating his wife.
She was an unwilling witness, and in order that this
may be accounted for, it is necessary to briefly de-t,
tail - a few particulars as to the preliminaries. On'
Monday night last, between , eleven and twelve
o'clock, the wife appeared` in4Virater Street'. near
Oallowhill, her husband 'chasing her with a krilife, •
she,crying murder. When the police ollieerit atTly4 )
all was quiet ; they asked what was the matter, and
she replied,
.“,just come in and see." One or two of
the officers went -in:and found everything upside
down and scattered over the house. Patrick was
there; he had a' khife in his hand; the officers
took it away frorriphim and gave it to the wife; she
hid the weapon and the officers departed, but staid
in the neighborhood for sonic time. Patriot( came
out of the house, went to his liquor store, lighted
thegae, then locked the store without having ex
tinguiahed the light. He absented himself from hts
wife, and she wanted him to come back. He refused,
and-gave ne a:reason that she hard. celled the °niers
to"arrcet him, and they had taken a pocket-book
front him containing e 1,500- aini , licr would 'never
come back to live with her until shhe recovered the
money. She made application to the Mayor, who
patiently heard her story. She gave her husband n
`bad name for drunkenness, &Q.; at times he was
perfectly wild, Mit when sober a nice, clever — man.
She was afraid he never would come to live with
her again, imleas the money could be recovered. The
officers Welt sent for, and rully examthed.. They are

honest and responsible men, and denied hiving ar
rested the man at all. On the night he chased hia
wife he acted like a man laboring under the etleots
of mania-d-potu.
The wife made a charge of assault and battery
against her husband, and a warrant was issued for
his apprehension. He was arraigned yesterday, as
above stated, and the case was publicly investi
gated. -
Airs. Gaffney sworn.—Well, sir, on the night the
officers came, me husband, sur, felted a chair.
Here the husband jumped up and exclaimed, "Did
I hat wid Ill"
"Take your seat, air," said the alderman, while
three or four officers cried, "Silence !"
"Nell, what did he do?"
"Afther that, Bur, I had him arrested, Bur, for
beating me and abusing me; and he swore he'd never
live with me, sur, again until he got his pocketbook;
he drew a knife on me, sur, that night; I hollered
murther, sur, ov worse, and I got the police to
come in."
Here the husband sprang to his feet, and ex
claimed, " Where's me pocketbook, with $3001"
He was told to keep silent.
Officers Griffey, Johnson, and Rose testified, in
substance, As follows : That on last Monday night,
between eleven and twelve o'clock, a lame man in
formed them that some men was chasing a woman
with a knife, on Water street, near Oallowhill, cry
ing murder, and for help. Officers went there, and
saw Mrs. Gaffney standing at the front door of the
house ; asked her the matter, and she told us to go
into the house and see; found Mr. Gaffney there;
he had the mania-a-petit ; took a knife from him;
never saw any pocketbook ; never beard anything
about one at the time; heard his wife say after
wards that her husband bad lost a pocket-book with
three hundred dollars in it. Gaffney has been
locked up on several occasions. On the , night of the_
murderous attack on hie wife he certainly had the
mania-Npotu.
Mr. Gaffney was asked if he had anyquestions to
ask the officers, to which he replied "no, I have
not." He was ordered to enter ball in the sum of
$l,OOO to answer at court, and to keep the peace in.
the meantime. He was taken down stairs. The
last we saw of his wife she was searching for some
one to go bail for him. Such is female forgiveness,

[Before Mr. Alderman Dougherty.]
• Shoveling Snow from sk. Roof. • - -
Edward T. Parker was arraigned Yesterday after.'
noon before Mr. Ald. Dougherty, on the charge of
committing an assault and battery on P. M. Quick.-
sail. It seems that the complainant has an °Almon
Third street above Chestnut. The defendant yester
day indulged in shoveling snow from the roof of the
house, and passersby came in occasionally, for re
spectably sized avalanches. Among:the number-thus
assailed was Mr. Quicksall. His businesewas very'
much interrupted. The attention of Reserve.Offloar..
Odenheiiner was called to the affair.. lie ascended
to the roof and remonstrated with Parker.- The
latter said he could not help what took place below':
it was a work of necessity with him, for he was
fearful that the roof would fall in. Theotilcer could
not make any arrest, except npon'oomplaint of semi°
one of the aggrieved parties. Accordingly,llllr.,
quickeall proceeded at once te. th e Alderman's , office;
and made the coronlaint.
The warrant issued and the defendant was ar.--
; reigned. It was stated at the hearing that, so violent
lywas the snow hurled from Die roof, a pane ortwO"
of glais in the windows of hordes on the opposite side
'of the way were smashed. The deferidant,7in•cx
culpation, said he was sorry if anybody was , hurt,
and was ready to pay for all damages. He believed;
however, that one-half the :frenple ratherliked , it;
!as they seemed to be laugbing.atthe incidents. , The
:defendant was required to enteilutiL II the sum of
S6C9 to answer at court. A-A., ,

Two young men,giving' the •riames.of-vWm. B.

fore Mr. Alderman Dougherty , on the charge of
recklessly driving a horse-,aial wagon, and.running
over. a man named Francis.,' Duffy, at Sixth • and
Race streets, on Wednesdaafternoon.. ; iit, seems
'that Mr. Duffy and one-of two others wine4twork
repairing the passenger ;railway. near Hisee, and
Sixth streets. The accused came drivingalong
rapidly, passed around a carld rove again on the track,
and without any apparent eitert to avoid the work-
men, drove over one of them named above. The man,
.fortunately, was not very seriously injured.. The 4 1
defendants did not stop, hut kept on until Teaching
Chestnut street below Third; when they:were taken
into custody. Afteia hearlhg, the defendants were
held to bail in the sum.of $BOO, to await a final
hearing at 4 o'clock this afteinoon. Theinjured Mr.
Duffy, an honest, bard-working laboring. man, with
a family tosupport, though able to walitrabout, has
thus been incapacitated from hard work; at least for:
the present.
We may state here that Hunt was arrested by De

WONDERFUL DISCOVERY AND
WONDERFUL RESULTS ACCOMPLISHED BY
PROF. C. B. BOLLS, 1220 WALfifUT Street. —The
difference between fact and „fictions, of permanently
outing the evirerfng of their disease, and advertising to
cure, and showing no better evidence than offering re
ference of some persons in far-off localities, can well be
appreciated by anxious seekers after health, upon atten
tively reading the following certificates of cases from
some of the most reliable gentlemen ofPhiladelphia. who
were permanently cured by Prof. C. H. BOLLES. of
1220 WALNUT street.
Facts are stubborn things, and as evidence is required
for the establishment of all. facts admitting of the least
doubt, and as the astonishing cures perforad by Prof,
BOLLES are such as no other man has ever performed in
this or any other city, i t seems important in the present
case to offer some proof by way of certificates from some
of the most reliable gentlemen of this city, and more
because there are some in this city who have the auda
city to claim to treat according to Prof. BOLLES' dis
covery, and these same persons are really ignorant of the
Positive or Negative Poles of any Electrical ifachineß,
and therefore, Prof. BOLLES bas cautioned the sick
against trusting their health in such reckless hands.
Read the following certificates of cures of most obsti
nate diseases by Prof. Bolles, 1220 TM/nut street,
Philadelphia. '
The first cure was performed three years ago, and
continues well tothis date:
About nine years ago I had a severe attack of dyspeptic
symptoms, which increased on me during the whole
time, and 1 supposed, and also my physicians that
treated me, that my real disease was dyspepsia, and at
first was treated for that disease. My symptoms were at
.first great hunger, and bad and exhausted feel iug in the
stomach, only when I ate often. Sometimes, however,
I experienced loss of appetite, very disagreeable nausea
in the stomach, pain in theepigastrum, heartburn, great.,
fullness about the stomach, and pain through the pyloric
region; a feeling sometimes of groat weight in the sto
mach, collection of acidity in the stomach, fetid
taste in the month.. When the sense of hunger came
on as above described, I had a sense-of fluttering •
about the chest, and a sinking faint-fooling at the
pit of the stomach, which was, in my first attacks, re
lieved only by taking food, anti many times in my vvolks
through the streets or Philadelphia when these sinking
spells carne on, I was obliged to =II at some restaurant
and take food, but this only relieved me for the present
Lime, and thus I suffered for Years under the best medi
cal treatment in the city. However, my physician at
lastprononneed my disease cancer in the stomach. I
continued to he treated for what I was Informed to .be
a cancer up to the time that Professor Belles came to
this city and advertised his important discovery in the
application of Galvanism and other modifications of
Electricity, for the cure of (as he anuonuced) acute and
chronic diseases, and more especially cancers, tumors,
white swelling. Ac. I Immediately called on Prof.
Bolles, at lft) Walnut street, for advice in my case. I
Will hero state that I considered my case it hopeless ono,
but notwithstanding this, my hopes were at once re
vived, when Prof. H. frankly told me that he could
cure me in a few dal a, and I am frank in saying that in
twelve or fourteen treatments I was perfectly cured.
This cure to me looks mysterlows, and will ever appear
a wonder of wonders, but to Prof. 13. all seemed cer
tain, as he remarked at the commencement that he knew
to a day how long it would take to produce a cure.
I am certain of a permanent cure from The fact that
about two years have elapsed since my cure, and I have
had no symptoms of return. I think Professor Bolles
has made every important discovery in the application
of Electricity for the certain cure of acute and chronic
diseases, know of a great number of persons whom he
has cured of the most °bale ate diseases, both acute and
chronic. I have watched his success for more than two
years, and take pleasure in recommending his scientific
discovery to suffering humanity. I shall take pleasure
in being referred to by the diseased H. .

The following wonderful cure of Epilepsy was per
formed snore Cum eight s,wntke ago and remain* wilt
to Mg dale.
• •
Read the following attentively :
The following is a statement of facts in reference to my
condition and astonishing cure of Epilepsy:
For five years previous to my knowledge of Professor
C. H. Bolles' discovery of the therapeutic administra
tion of Galvanism. Magnetism, and other modifications
of Electricity for the cure of all [mate and chronic
diseases, I had been severely afflicted with Epileptic
Faso( the most obdurate character. and had abandoned
all hopes of ever being cured, as I had for years tried
the treatment and received the counsel of the most emi
nent Medical Men of the States. with the view of obtain
ingg relief if any could be found among the Old Schools:
but all my efforts were unavailing, and, therefore, all
hopes worn abandoned, as I than knew of no greater
skill for the cure of obstinate eases than in the Old
Schools. About six months ago my mind was turned
to investigate the new discovery of Prof. C. 11. Bel
les, 1220 Walnut street. and, after noticing several
certificates of cares which were published, dud soma
from persons with whom I was acquainted, and
knew them to be reliable men. f was induced to
call on the Professor, and obtain hian)pillt4lll of my case.
After he bed examined me about ten minutes, lie (moldy .
informed ice that he could cure me, and offered to give
me a written warrantee of a complete cure, and in case
of a failure to charge me nothing. This at first seemed
an imPossibilily ; but the frankness and earnestness of
the Professor convinced me of his scientific accuracy In
the diagnosis of ray case. He disclosed all my sufferings
and symptoms for five years past as well as I knew them
myself. I wilt here state, for the good of hnutan.itY,
and especially those suffering as I was, that I out per
fectly cured. I further would state that more than tour
meths have elapsed sines my cure, and I have had no
symptoms. and. therefore.thel confident that I am mired.
I shall take pleasure in being referred to, at any time, by
any one suffering as I Wee, end any information of my
condition previous to my cure will he freely given to any
one at 1542 North TIIIRTEENTR Street. Philadelphia.
GEO. W. FRED.
N. B.—Professor C. H. BOLLES will publish.. from
time to thne,certilicates of the care of chronic casestwhich
had resisted the treatment of the most eminent medical
men for years.
Please take notice that Professor B. does not advertise
