The Case of the Election of City Commissioner. DECISION OF THE COURT. Opinion of Allison, 1. J. MA J, DAVID P. WEAVER AWARDED THE OFFICE. Etc., Etc, Etc, Etc, Etc Etc Etc. Cocrt OP Common Pleas President Judge Allison and Judtrc Pierce. The City Convmls- sicn.fr Contested Election Case Decision in Facor of David P. Weaver. The Court this morning decided the celebrated City Commissioner con tested election case of Weaver vs. Given, decree ing that David P. Weaver was duly elected to tbe GfJIce of City Commissioner on the second Tuesday of October last. It would have been well, we think, if they had further decided that Mr. Given should bear all the innumerable expenses which have been incurred in contesting succesHlully his fraudu lent attempt to toice himself into an official position to which he was not elec ted by the people. The opinion of the Court, delivered by the President Judge, ia as follows: In the Matter ot the Contested Election and Return ot John Given to tbe Otlice of City Commissioner. Allison, P. J. This case, as it stands before the Court upon the testimony which has been taken by the. respondent, John Given, and the rebutting tes timony of the petitioner, is ripe for final judg ment, if, upon the consideration of that testi mony, we should bcot me opinion thiit it is net our duty to send the case back to the Examiner to take lurther proois, under the specifications contained in tbe answer, wliieli clinrue that in the several election diviious therein mentionei the directory provisions of the election laws have been to a great ex'ent disregarded and omitted, and which contain aisocbarires of gross misconduct and official misbehavior on the part of the officers of the said election divisions. The respondent asked to bo allowed to provi the truth ol the allegations therein contained, in support ol his claim, to have evclu led from the general return the entire vote of the election divisions enumerated in the answer, in which grcss frauds and irregularities are asserted to have been committed. For the reasons assigned in the opinion of the Court upon the motion to quash the answer, we have held the hund of the respondent, in so tar as to prevent, bis taking testimony in Hiipport ot these allegations, until he should first have exnibited his proois of positive and gpeci'ic traua.-i in the vote cast or returned lor David P. Weaver at the election in October last, which, in his answer, he nsserts to be more than suffi cient to overbalance Weaver's majority, alter the rejection of the army vote, aui wnieh he claimed to have deducted from the aggregate return for Weaver. We then said, it the respondent can success fully attack any considerable number of votes cast for David P. Weaver, so as to approach his iLalority, based on a calculation which excluded the army vote from the count, and which, as the case then stood, gave to Weaver an apparent majority ot 607, we will then be prepared to open the door for an examination into charges ot official misconduct on the part of the officers of the election. The question which we are now required first to consider is, the one thus reserved. What does the evidence as now pre sented demand at our hands? a decision on the proois as they have been submitted f or ought we to advance to the investigation of charges of official misconduct to which we have reierred t To the opinion which we expressed on the mo tion to quasn we sun aunere, mat tuo dom ana flagrant fraud connected with the army vote, which was established beyond successful contra diction or reasonable question, required us to hold that nothing short 01 ptoot ot iraua equally specific and dirtct ought to be weighed 0y tae Court as a set-olf to a deliberately planned sys tem of wholesale forgery, which, before the Return Judges, overthrew the real majority ot weaver, as it appeared upon tne iace ot the returns of the home vote, and gave the election to Given by a majority ot 322. We said to the respondent mat a lorsrery, so gross and extensive in its character, so defiant in its assault upon the expressed will of the people, and so successful in its Intended purpose, when detected ana exposed oy me clearest evi dence, which was wholly uncontradicted, ought net to be allowed to be turned aside or over come, except by the establishment of other lrauds plain, palpable, and direct anecting a sufficient number of votes to change the result, which would be reached if the case rested where the exclusion ot the militury vote placed it. Our laneuaee was "If this cannot be done,. we are of the opinion that evidence should not, in a case like tnis one, De aiiowea to do gone into, with the view of establishing certain alleeatioDS, from which we are to bo asked to infer fraud." An examination oi tne eviaence taiten oeiora the Examiner, with the exception ot that por tion of it which attacks a small number ot votes clearly proved to be fraudulent, satisfies us that it falls far short of the prescribe t standard. To a very large extent, it is made up of the testimony ol searchers, who were sent to make inquiry tor the persons wnose names were found on the lists of voters, us they were re turned by the officers of the election. This kind ol eviaence wu uuuweu w uo introduced in a contest of this character, iu llRTtn'fi rndA where, after lonir and earnest dis cussion, it was decided that it was an item of moot. thn.t nit hnneh it was liable to the oojec tion ot being hearsay testimouy, yet from the necessities of the case it was proper to allow the tesulta of mmh an examination and search to be submitted, along with other evidence iu the cause, to the consideration of the Court, and to be )udi;ed of by the intrinslo evidence oi us worth in each election contest as it should be presented. But in tbe final opinion in Mann's case, Judge Thompson sayst "Weconsider the evidence as to residence, as derived irom the canvassers on both sides, and Irom the assessors, as too uure liable to form the basis of a decision.'' ' Tbe whole number of votes cast for or re turned for the contestant, which are soucht to be attacked by tbe evidence produced by the re siiondent. other than the testimouv ot tbe can vassers, fall short, as we compute tbem, of seventy votes, leaving; all that remains of the entire number, whose honesty or legality was in any way impeached, to rest npon the testimony of the searchers, which, as we nave seen, was hold hv the Court. In the case In which the pre cedent wm MtaUwhed for tae introduction of tris cnarnotpr of evidence, to be too unreliable of it elf to form the basis of a decision. lie numi er ol voles claimed by the respon ded to stand impeached, mainly by the testi mony ol the canvassers, is as follows: In the Blxtn Division of tne Fourtn Ward 125 In the Bovoi tb D vision oi the Fourth Ward.... ISO In I tit Kighin Iivvion of the Fourth Wrd 800 In tbe Fourth Division ot the Tweutj-flfth Ward H Making a total of. 799 To wkich aId fraudulent votis for Weaver from steiimthtp Frincttoi. 6 Also votes in the Mlxth und Eighth Division of the Fonith Ward over return, claimed to have teen pnved 11 Together tinnberinir 815 From a bich is to be taken lour votes orodited in general return to Given, but not proved in the Seventh of Fourth and Fourth 01 Twenty-iiKh Wards, and there rcma.u of the votes thus at tacked bv Oivcn 811 Deduct irom this Weaver's majority , with the army vote cast out 607 W bich will vive to Given, ou this basis of calcu lation, a majority ot 201 lo overcome tins apparent mujontv ot the per sons l.oiu tbe oauvonsurs reported not louiid Weaver prouueed botoro the kxaminor 220 Add to this the number whoso lesidonoa was . proved by witnesses called lor tuat purpose.. t5 Mak'nr toeetlier 2S1 Deunet Horn tuis number 01 231 votes t.ivo 's apt areut majority, a exhibited by ihe report of the canvassers 204 Leaves Weaver in a majority ot 77 This is stating the question at issue betweeu the contestant and the respondent, in the i trongest aspect possible in favor of the respondent, upon tbe case as it now stands before the Court. It takes for granted that all the pcrsoas not found in the inquiry made for them, whose names are ret urnod as havinar voted at the last election in ihe disputed election divisions, other than thofe who were produced by or accounted tor by the contestant, were illegal voters, or that tbe return as to them is false and fraudulent. But we are very lar from having arrived at any tuch conclusion; His one thing to question, or impeach, or attack a vote or a return 01 votes, but it Is a very different matter to prove that which succcssiully overthrows such vote or return. In the above statement we set do.vn as proved against the contestant, every voie to which the evidence ot the respondent is at templed to be applied in support of the ullcara tion that it is fraudulent, and having done this he is still in a clear minority of seveuty seven votes. In the calculation of the respondent, he does not take into the count ot vutes to bn deducted Irom the searchers' report, the number of per sons proved be'oro the txaniincr as residing iu the several election divi"-ijns, by witnesses called to testily to the lact ot residence, from their personal knowledge. Th's he calls hearsay evidence, and on this ground rejects it as not sufficient to establish the conclusion of fact. But it is a misapplication of the term hearsay, to apply it to evidence ot this descriotion. Hear say evidence, accurately defined, is the evidence ol one, who relates no, what he knows of his own knowledge, but what lie has heard from others. The tact of residence in a particular place may be a3 well known to a witness called to prove such, fact as it can be known to the person whose residence is in dispute. And the knowledge of the tact soueht to be established may dp, and generally Is, wholly independent ot what any one may have communicated to the witness. The votes proved by this kind of evidence must, therefore, be taken into the calculation as having been established by legal and competent testimony. This calculation elves to the respondent every thing to which he has set up a claim, as having bpen proved in his favor by tbe cvidpuce t iken in support and in contradiction ot the allega tions ol fraud contained in his Answer, when in fact that evidence, except as it applies to the comparatively few cases of actual Iraud, esrab lishes nothing upon which a judgment ot the Court could be safely rested. Take from the 7ii9 vote attacked in the Sixth. Sevetitb, and Eichth Divisions of the Kourta Ward, and the Fourth of the Twenty-tilth Ward, all that are in any way affected by other evi dence, stated at more than their full number of 70 votes, and it leaves over 700 votes, having uothing to support their standing in the cause, as proof lor the respondent, except the unsatis factory and unreliable testimony of the can vassers. This kind of evidence, in Its best aspect, insufficient of itself, in a majority of Instances, to prove the actual non-residence ot a voter, is shown by the testimony of the contestant to be. in this cause, eutitlea to Dm nttie credit; 2m ot the persons who could not be louud by the can vassers were brought before the Examiner to prove their residence in their respective elec tion divisions, and the residences of fifty-five others were sworn to by witnesses, who claimed to have personal knowledge of the facts of which they test 1 ned. The eviaenca shows the canvass wax conducted not in the most curelui manner, as the following table will prove. Of tne voters wno could not oe louud oy tue searchers it was shown that: Years. Years. 1 lived in the division 40 7 lived in the division 16 2 80 12 14 27 14 20 8 24' 6 23 11 22 10 21 i 6 20 8 19 12 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 9 4 24 9 8 A number of these Demons testified that they owned the properties in which they lived, and others that their names ana oustness appeared on signs on their houses. These tacts show how little credit ought be attached to that which constitutes the chief support of the respondent's case, and upon which he asks to be alio wed to advance beyond the bounds to which the former order of tbe Court restricted him. But wo think that he has utterly failed to make out a case which requires us, or in which it would be right.to protract the bearing, by allowing time tor testimony, which ii before us, and added to that already taken, woMd not change or afiect our opinion ot what the final luclsrmeut of the Court should be. In reaching this conclusion we dpsire to ex press ourselves, in the strongpft manner pos sible, as intending in no degree to shake or lessen the force of what was said in the opinion of the Court in the Mann and Cassidy contest. as to the right and the propriety, in a proper case, of going into an examination of charges of gross misconduct of tbe officers conducting an election. Aud to repeat, aud adopt it as tne opinion of the Court at this time, " that such conduct is, and oueht to be, a subject of con sideration, as connected with tue investigation 01 election frauds." And we &Uo reaffirm the opinion then an nounced, that where the entire proceedings connected with the conduct of an election are so tarnished by the fraudulent and negligent acts of the officers c'larsed with the perform ance of the most solemn and responsible duties. so that the returns are not intelligible, or the election, because of such fraudulent conduct, is rendered unrejiuDie in bucu t case, it may become obligatory on tbe Court to throw out from the general return the entire return of such election division. Nor do we intend to be understood as overlooking or questioning the nrinciolo upon which that case was decldprt. namely, to treat as fraudulent the names of un- assessed voters wnicu appear npon the lists kept as a record of the persons voting at an election. when the proportion of unassessed names t largely in excess 01 wuat is usual ana common; tirA thA Flections are fairly and honest! v nn. ducted; and where they are kept in entire disre gard oi tae requirement which tbe law pre- cribea for tb cl&s of voters. If the badees of legality are wanting in resoect to persons who. pt t ma facie, are not ent tied to vote, and they aprenr in onaue proportion on tne lists 01 voters, we will not hesitate to adorrt the conrse pursued In Mant's case, and reject all snch votes unless by prool they are shown to be legal. And this couise UDon both of these grounds would bave been adopted, In this case. If the introduction into it of the fraudulent army vote had net made the principles ruled in Mann's case Inapplicable to the one now before us. In our Judgment. It would be unequal, and therefore unfair, as a rule of evidence, to pcrn.it a fraud like that which deprived tbe contestant ol an office, to which he was clearly entitled by the regular and legitimate ret urns, which defrauded the people of their elect official to be balanced or weighed, much more to 8 How it to be overborne, by evidence of a grently inferior grade. The mere intTcnce or legal deduction from the premises mentioned, and upon which the respondent rests bis cise, cannot be set off against the proof oi flagrant crime, the benefit of which has inured to the respondent, and by which the contestant has been unjustly kept from that which rightfully belongs to him. For the reasons above stated, and upon the evidence blore us, it becomes ocr doty to DECIDE THAT DAVID P. WEAVER WAS DULY lected City Commissioner o.s xnK second Tuesday of October last. THE WORLD OF FASIHOX. Tbe Latest Oiliclnl Gazette Prt Modrsi for July New for lre sail Dresn woods fhe Movelilvw la Bia ueln, Etc. From Ihe J'arit Lt Folkl. We ure hunpy to announce a decided reac tionary movement towards simplicity of attirp. There can bo no question that luxury In dress has, 01 laic, ucen lnouigca in to an alarming excess. It Is, therefore, gratifying to observe that the leaders of fashion now show a decided inclination to allow the judiciously clevant to enlace the merely expensive. We no longer see toilets covered ami spaikhng with gold aud silver, thtse theatrical oruamcuts having given place to ribbons, (lower?, laces, etc? The mate rials moct In vogue at the present moment are enos. mohair, alpaca, una a great variety ot lancj materials, such as sultane, which Is a mix ture 01 sine ana wool, uouiarns ore, ot course, immensely in request. Toero is, perhaps, no labric so much worn, lt is made in endless varieties of quality and style, so as to suit the taste anil means of every one. Moire antiques. pvwt de so n1, thick ttitietas, and such heavy materials, only smtaote ior coiaer wcatner, an have to give place to the foulard. Gasede Chambern, mous&eltn de soic, and other very thin and expensive materials, are reserved for indoor or evening wear. White toilets are made m all labrics, otid nave one great advantage by changing the color of the ornaments, or the style of their disposition, one can always give them a new appearance with very little expenso or trouble. The skirts of all dresses, let the material b 3 what they may, are cut ou the bias. In case of their being muslins, or equally thin fabrics, the back br until is not, gored, xne slope ot the side breadth Is, of course, put to the back, as it vtould bo under any circumstances, indoor dresses and toilettes de vi6ite have very long trains, aud arc sloped round the bottom of the skirt, and excessively plain at the htps. Bodies also are not so very short-waisied us they were a little time since: in tact, the eli'orts mado by a misguided low to introduce an eccentric style of dress have tailed, and tbe short waists and lone, trailing cresses, clinging round the feet, are confined to those who do not hesitate to 11 nke auv sacrifice ol taste aud aopearauce In Older to attract attention or look different from others. A lew weeks ago, ladies who could afford to wear nine or ten nounced musiiu petticoats, discontinued their crinolines; of course this made but very slight ditlerence in the circum ference cither at the bottom or top ot the sKirt, us all thce petticoats were so gored as to be quite plum on the hips. The weather is now so warm that so ercat a weight of bkirts would be unbearable; therefore, at the present mo ment, under thin dresses, one thick petticoat aud two thin ones are worn over a small cnuo line, under thick skirts two petticoats, the one next the cage being always white. There are two forais of crinoline worn one round and rather short, for out-of-door dresses when looped up; tae otner rainer larger, and wuu a train, ior indoor dress or when the skirt is allowed to rest on the eround. The petticoats now are so mush shown that they are generally more ornamented than the dresses, i' or morning toilets, tney are gene rally made either of the same ma erial as tae dress ami paletot, or of cashmere, the color of the ornaments on the dress. For more dressy occasions tbe petticoats are made ot white or colored silk. The while petticoats worn under thin dresses are most elegaiit little gauftered flounces edged with lace; perpendicular tucks. alternating with embroidered insertion or Cluny; medallions ot embroicery or gmnuie, over colored ribbons; in short, every day introduces some new and elegant manner of trimming them. When the dress is looped over a petti coat for out-ot-eloor wear, the petticoat should not touch tue ground, but be merely a short dis tance from it. lu some case the underskirt is made full length, with a train, but then it is intended for a double skirt, and not merely a petticoat. The small black cashmere loose patelots, spot ted with beads, are not now so elegant or so lashionabie as the small circulars ot tae same material, ornamented with beads, or edged cither with a bead fringe or a lace flounce. Muslin and other thin dresses are generally accompanied by mantles ot the same; these can be made either circular cloaks, only reachlmr just below the waist, or small paletots quite loose or demi-adjuete, according to the taste of the wearer. When made in these thin mate rials the waistband should never be worn out side. For fetes or toilettes de visite blacK lace casaques, nearlv tigbt-htting, are more elegantly worn than the black lace shawl that has been so long in favor. Black silk mantles are not much worn; they aie intended more tor spring or autumn wear. There is not much alteration in the form of bonnets; the (Jalette, Lamballe, and Fanchon ette being most in lavor. The latter is a very small "Fanchon," merely reaching to the chig non, not covering it; and slightly bent iu front. The Lamballe is perfectly round, but slightiy bent down at each side to the shape ot the heud, nnd generally has a Marie Stuart front. The (Jalette is also perlectly round, but quite flat, not in any way taking tbe form of the head. There is a very slight ditference in the form of tia's; they are worn in almost all shapes and styles. Flowers seem to be preferred to feathers for trimming them, especially if they are in tended for seaside wear. For morning bats, flowers would, of course, bo too dressy. On there are worn email wings or straight feathers. White bodies are of course more in request than ever, aud are made in a variety of mute rials cambric, foulard, alpaca, llama, and un bleached linen. For evening wear, thinner materials, such as Indian muslin, plain or em broidered. When made lu these thin fabrics, they are generally arranged with Cluny or Valenciennes insertion over colored ribbon or velvet. We have seen some very pretty white muslin bodies, a corselet like the skirt Is gene rally worn. They are made in a variety of forms, but undoubtedly the most elegant aud recherche is the corselet Medici and pointed peplum all cut in one. This should be made in the color of the trimmings or patterns on the dress. Tbe whole body must, of course, bave tbe same colored trimmings. THE POLITICAL WORLD. EXCITEMENT OVER CABI NET CRISIS ABATING. NO MORE RESIGNATIONS. ADJOURNMENT OP CONGRESS THIS MONTH. Etc, IStO.. Etc.. JSto.. EtO. A'rom the Herald of today. Contrary to all expectation, there is to-night absolutely nothing new to send vou lu regar 1 to the condition of the Cabinet. No public. ty is given to any determination in regard to the successor of Mr. Denisoc, nor is it In'.imatPd that the Executive has any knowledge of the Intention of other ministers t resign: yet com mon rumor seems to establish it mat we are oon? to have substantially, new Cabinet, and that the President will hve a Cabinet more iu harmony with himself than the present is sup posed to be. It is currently reported that an intimation has been sent to 'Mr Stanton io the etlect that his resignation would be accepted and Ihere is strong ground for the statement that to morrow not only Stanton, but Speed as well, will send iu their letters of withdrawal. I have this Irom a source that is entitled to credit. The same authority Inclines me to say that Mr. Harlan will not resign at present unless compelled to do so, notwithstanding his acknow ledged lock of sympathy with the policy of the Executive. The President seems inclined to improve the present crisis to entirely remodel his Cabinet. Stanton is the most obnoxious in dividual in it. Mis conduct in anticipating: the wii-hes of the President in the matter of instruc tions to subordinate officers, his hostility to the President on the Paulding cose, and tils general nollcv ol earrviniz his own personal Dreiudice into bis official conduct, as well as bis patent antaconism to the President on political ques tions. render it more desirable that he should withdraw than any other. The successor to Mr. Denison is yet un named, although popular opinion seems to settle upon Governor Itandall as the man. There is no change In the surmises to-night as to the probable bticcessors ot otner omcers, General Grant will be assigned to the acting charge of the War Otlice in the 'event ot Stan ton's withdrawal, notwithstanding the friends ot General Dix are nushiug bis name'tor the an pointmentas Secretary. Judge Browning will have the Interior Department. The Law Office seems to be undetermined. The feeble health of the President has doubtless had a tendency 10 delay the determination or these matters to day; but it Is asserted by thosj in a positioa to know, tnut to-morrow win witness a general revolution in the Cabinet organization. THE PRESIDENT AND THE miLADE LFTIIA CONVEN TION. Statements baxe been going freely to the press In regard to the intentions and plans ot the president in tue mture, many 01 which are w holly unauthorized and most entirely wrong. I am authorized to say that the President has no intention whatever ot being Drcsent at the flula- delphia Convention. He does openly and unde niably sympathize with ihe Convention, and will exert all his influence to make it ajsuccess; but as the Convention is called to express the views ol the people, and of the whole people, on th? questions now agitating tbe nation, the Presi dent does rot deem it delicate or proper that he should be present, more particularly so as bis own acts will be passed upon more rigidly than any other topics. NO PROSPECT OP TDK ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS. There seems to be a general acceptance to night ot tbe belief that Congress will at least not adjourn at present. Leading members, since the crisis in the Cabinet, are more than ever inclined to prolong the session. From the Hew York Daily Mews of to-day, THE CABINET. The regular Friday Cabinet meeting was held to-day. Secretaries Harlan and Stanton, an , Attorney-General Speed duly attended, thus showing that they nave not thus tar tpndered their resignations. Their withdrawal, however, is but a mere question of time, except in Stan ton's case, whoso rad cal friends declare that he will have to be kicked out of the Cabinet MR. RAYMOND AND THE CAUCUS. The denial in the Times of the published accounts of Mr. Raymond's position in the Republican caucus on Wednesday night, amounts to nothing just so long a dozens of members who were present maintain that he made a speech In which be virtually abandoned his endorsement ot the Philadelphia Conven tion. He is welcome to so much of tbe modifi cation ot the accounts as will represent him as sitting quietly in his seat and relusing to vote on the resolution declaring that no Republican Senator or member would endorse the Philadel phia Convention.

Pbehiebs and Parliaments in England. Since the passing of tbe Ketorui act of 1832, nine parliaments have been held lu EuglanJ. In one instance only, that of Lord Melbourne, has a parliament been dissolved by the minister under whose auspices it was elected. The first re formed parliament was called January 23, 1833, by Earl Grey, and dissolved December 30, 1864. by Sir Robert Pee). Its successor was called i ebruary 9, 1835, by S;r Robert Peel, and dis solved July 17, 1837, by Lord Melbourne. The next was called November 15, 1837, by Lord Melbourne, and by that minister dissolved June 23, 1841. The succeeding parliament was called August 18, 1841, by Lord Melbourne, and dis solved July 23, 1847, by Lord John Russell. Assembling on November 18, 1847, uuder the leadership of Lord John Russell, this parliament was dissolved by Lord Derby, July 1, 1852. Lord Detby's first parliament wss called on November 4, l&'i2, and dlssolve l March 21, 1857, by Lord Palmerston. This house, called by Lord Pal mcrston, April 30, 1857. was dissolved April 23, 1869, by Lord Derby. The conservative leader's second paihament, called May 31, 1859, was dissolved July 6, 1865. by Lord Palmers ton. The late premier did not live to meet his second parliament, and it Is, therefore, difficult to say whether it would bave acted as the majority of its predecessors, and turned out the minister whose policy it had been returned to support. Size of the West. Illinois would make forty and Minnesota sixty sueb States as Rhode Island. Missouri is larger than all New Eng land. Ohio exceeds in "extent either Ireland. Scotland, or Portugal, and equals Belgium. Switzerland, and Scotland together. Missouri is larger than Denmark, Holland, Belgium, and Switzerland, and Missouri aud Illinois are larger than England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Ivokt Scarce. There la to be a scarcity ot ivory. The demand for Sheffield alone, it is said. now kills twenty thousand elephants a year; the supply is limited, aud th.e animal oe not multiply very fast. Mftttnrl
