Thin rooming the Conrt met at 10 o'clock, and
Ike arguments In these Interesting and highly Im
portant ease were resumed. Mr. Hirst followod for
the respondents, advancing these following pointH:
J has been many years, your Honors, since 1 argued
a ease founded upon the election returns of this city ;
that argument was In the cane of Mr. Kobert Kwlng,
who wait undoubtedly elected short tr hy the votes of
soldiers whtere in the field lighting for tholr coun.
trv The patriots at home contested tills election,
the soldier votes were cast, their reward was ob
tained, and Mr. Ewing went to his grave. Ho was
an amiable man and much respected hy me. I only
mention this as a reply to what has been
paid en the other side about patriotism.
Pshaw! nothing but the rrorbld desire and
creed for otllec moves this expensive and tedious
contest. I will not mention other eases of the past,
hut will con tine myself to the ruling of this court Hi
! lour int.est and annlv It to this one; that decided
i.i.. a.,.i i think th-.it. hv referring to It I will eou-
is, ami I think that by reiernug hi u
nee your Honors that the present incumbents were
ilv elected. .Now, what Is the duty of the caudi
tes who were returned a elected? r.aeli one or
vlin
dnlv
.1.,,... aihfbiirnfii retlime
them has answered this by entering noon the duties
..i .i.uir..i. wIuth fliev have been d.illy and duly
i-mraircrt. Tliev could atteml peiwmully to this In
vestigation; they are not Individually responsible for
the frauds that may have lieen committed. Will we
require that each man who went through the ordeal
vt examination at the polls shall be produced Here
and explain himself V W hy there were numbers of
iinassessed volers who were sworn by the election
witlcers, and who vet could not be brought berore the
Kxaminers by either side. To require this, your
Honors, would be to disable yourselves, for it would
he a rule which could not he compiled with. In none
if these divisions, except the Seventh or the Third
ward, were the name and residence of even the
vouchers entered In a book. There are hundred
umi hundreds of oualilled and legal votes taken
npon vouchers, anil arc not explained by the returns
tit the election ollicers. The great mistakes made in
names are innocent errors; unu cutns
have the names alike, and yet wri'.e
them wrongly, and unless these lists
are made out In a clerically correct manner, they
give us no reliable Information upon the certainty of
nauies. A great deal has been said also of rapid
voting, but yon will lind that the evidence to this
point relates only to the tlrst hour, and in one in
Htance to the second. During this lirsthour you
know the well-known voters of the neighborhood
had assembled to cast their ballots early lu the morn
ing and go about their work, and the election Olivers
having a perfect knowledge of their qiiHlillcatioiis,
these votes are every one right. This is not the
hour when personations occur, ami t lie complain
ants only attack the vote because it is so rapid. An. I
ou will notice that in the Democratic precincts,
wltn one or two Individual exceptions of no mo
ment, quiet reigned. If a party of men said t.i be
New Yorkers assembled ot. Hie poll, the leader
if them Is photographed, his weight is
given, even his hat is commented
upon, and lie is spoken of as a gentleinauly fellow;
at least all was quiet. There was by them no drag
ging of voters out of the line, no beating of them, no
imprisonment of honest, well-meaniug citizens. On
the other hand, what do we see in the Kcpuhllcan
precincts? Firearms were used, violence oll'ered and
administered, blood flowed, and murder was at
tempted ; whole scores of voters being intimidated
from exercising their franchise. These prevailed la
ihe First ward, did they not? Look also at. the con
duct of policemen and election ollicers, casting out
the naturalization papers issued by their Honors
Justice Sharswood and Chief Justice Thompson,
doing that which Judge Brewster decided this Court
had no powor.todo; and a son who goes to vote upon
his fatherVpapers Is 8,!Cn t come out of the crowd
all bleeding. suppose the matter had come berore
your Honors, would you have permitted the mean
and miserable attack to have been made
upon the character or that honorable
and respected iunst. Justice sharswood? No! Mr.
Collis stays in the Nisi Prlus room three-quarters or
an hour or bo, and sees no judge, and somebody else
goes there while the Judge is at dinner, and upon
these Hinisy pretexts the character of Judge Shars
wood is attempted to be brought before tins Court
lor trial.
Those divisions where the rapid voting is at
tacked are known as largely Democratic, and hence
the gross Injustice of this attempt to tliro them
nf. lint upon examination 1 find that during Hint
hour ol last voting the proportion of Kcpuoltcan
votes was larger thuu that of Hie Democratic vote iu
the Hepulilii-an precincts.
j The decision of your Honors last yen r. as t have
already said, must rnle tills case, and that decision
was that where the good voles can be separated
from the bad, the latter shall be expunged and the
."ormer preserved; for the honest voter and the
honest candidate should not be punished for the
wrong deeds of men over whom they had no cont rol.
Here the returns are per correct, and must stand.
The corrected majorities stand thus:
Fox 17:K (ietz 7-24
Sheppard U70 Fletcher Hi
Weaver l7:t Melloy nos
Barger Mt-2
Now, allowing everything that complainants ,
claim, they receive only fsi5 more votes, which upon
their own showing bring this monster cause down
to the simple little point as to whether Mr. Melloy
is elected. Can you he asked to cast out the vote
that has not been attacked? We have, us to the
nix first-named officers, granted all the contestants
claim; and can they ask you to give thera more?
The majorities of these ollicers are beyond the
range of the complainants' guns, and we have
nothing else left for discussion than Mr. Melloy a
case. I'pon looking at the testimony, you will II in I
that a great many votes attacked by the contestants
as nuassessed, and therefore illegal, were prov ed to
have been Republican.
From this sum total of otifi tor the contestant for
the ottlce of Receiver are to be deducted the Seventh
division of the Third ward and the Sixth division or
the Fourth ward, In which Mr. Sellers has proven to
. .you the election was conducted with the greatest
propriety, but which were nevertheless attacked by
the contestants. Also, 1 furnish to your Honors a
listofloi illegal Republican votes that were not men
tioned by Mr. Sellers; and in the Soldiers' Home we
have showed that two or three person vouched, for
nearly 200 voters who were but soldiers stopping
there temporarily in their change from various pans
of the country.
Then we turn to the wholesale disfranchisement of
mir foreign-born citizens by the rejection of their
naturalization papers. No greater outrage upon a
class of citizens than this preconcert ed exclusion of
their votes has ever been perpetrated in this com
munity. It will live long in historv; many years will
have passed ere it is forgotten; forgiven,' it never
can be; and in spite of this Mr. Mann has the reso
lution to talk and prate ol the Hanctltv of elections
and the duties of elect ieuotllcers! Iii this country,
where a free and equal elect iou lies at Ihe verv bot
tom of our institutions, where ev erv man wlio has
the right to vote should he allowed to, and even
ne who thinks he has that right permitted to oiler
It and have tt Investigated. Isn't It atrocious thai a
Het ol oltlcers should delllM-rutely and unanimously
disfranchise hundreds ami thousands'.' '
I he Tenth division ot uie .Mn.-u-uiiih ward 1 will
ask your Honors to throw out as not at Hll ex Dress
lug the sense of the people, or which I think, lean
easily convince you In the lirst pla e all the elec
tion ollicers were Kepnollcws: on which point vour
Honors have go frequently passed tlit I need not
dweil longer upon 1'. Again, uune of them were
elected except Addis, the judge, who was a non
resident In the division. They went to the poll

An almost clondless skj, a fresh bracing atmo
sphere, and dry streets gave the grand parade of the
American Protestant Association thla morning the
first essentials of popular success, and crowded the
route with thousands of spectators. The appearance
of the Association, Individually, was most creditable,
and the grouping f 11 mac at liroad and Arch streets,
where the line of march was taken up, was a truly
fine sight. The grouping of banners and (tags, the
crimson and while sasnes of the memliers, the thou
sands of intelligent, cheery-looking men, made np a
pageant of attractiveness unexcelled. The line

rew moments, while 1 brieily refer to the object for
which this meeting has been convened an object, 1
tiufit, that, without any tnilueiice which I can bring
to hear, or any words of mine, may commend Itself
to your noblest sympathies, and lind iu every heart a
noble rcsMinse.
W itluil a lew days, by means of the telegraph and
the public press, our community has been horror
stricken with the Intelligence of oue of the most
heart-rending and terrible calamities, within the
borders of our own State, that it lias ever been our
lot thus publicly to notice. I refer, asyou are aware,
to the disaster at the Avondule colliery iu the
Wllkesbarre and Scrautou coal regions, by which, in
an almost Incredible short space of time, over one
hundred human beings were suddenly ushered into
eternity. These are, However, oe.vouu our urn, oe
yoiul all human aid, aud in the keeping of Him who
docth all tilings well.
It is not for the dead, therefore, that we now ap
neal, but for the living. Attendant upon such a ca
lamity is the usual gloom ol grief and sullering
wonien hereit. or husbands, children or fathers, pa
rents of childreii. it is v ariously estimated that from
two to four hundred widows and orphans are thus
left without any visible means of support, aud are iu
truth almost entirely destitute. ,
These nowsileully hut strongly appeal to your
generosity and vour sympathies. For tliein, ami on
their behalf, I have been instructed hy your Hoard of
Managers to cull your attention 10 the subject. 1 our
i'.oard yesteidav appropriated two thousand dollars,
subject of course toyour approval, from the lunds
of tho treasury, for the benefit of these mulcted
iconic: and ii is ror you to say whether you
will make anv further appropriation or open a sub
scription list to that cud. The business now heiore
you will be the consideration of the action of the
IUhTV Malone. Ksq., promptly moved that the action
of 'the 'Hoard of Managers, iu appropriating Um
from the treasury of Hie association be susla aed.
It was so ordered' by a unanimous vote.

The ten minutes' Interregnum between bustling,
huvlng. and selling of groin was now ov er, ami tho
merchants at once settled back into their old habits
of shrewdness, as If nothing unusual had happened,
as realiv was the case. It will be but a little while
before other such aasiciattoiis will go aud do like

MGA.MY AND SUICIDE.
A Kecltlenn Villnin .llnri'ien Two Women

One
1 lie Media (Pa. ) American of the 8th instant
contains the lllovviii";:
"There has been some excitement for the past
week in Darby anil vicinity over a case of bi.i-
myaudnn attempted suicide. James Dough
erty, residing in tho borough, 011 the :M ol July
last married a younsj woman in the employ of
a Mr. l'usey. Some threo or lour weeks after
their marriage, Dougherty induced his wife to
glvo him some 450O 011 tho pretext of buying a
home for them iu Kiugsessiug. A few days after
he succeeded In getting the 111 one v. DoiiLrhcrtv
eloped with a woman from Darby, went to New
castle, 1 Hi., and was there married to woimn
No. J. i ther parties from the vicinitv of IKrbv
were married at the same time and bv the same
priest these returned, told of tho marriage, but
kept liicir own counsel for a tune as to the
whereabouts of Dougherty uud his wife. The
leiral wife, left 111 Durhv. hail refilled there fttr
maDy years, and had always borne an excellent
character. uc was industrious and lrugal; and
the prollt of eleven years' work as a domestic
was ftsHi, out or nearly nuot wiiu.ii sue was
swindled by Dougherty. She soon learned of
the second marriage, and 011 Sundav morning of
last week took a quantity of corrosive sublimate
with 11 view to cud all her troubles. J he dose
was to large too operate with fatal speed, but
tlrst inflamed and then produced niortnicatlonot
the stomach, and from this, at hist accounts, she
was slowly dying the physician deeming the
case entirely tiopeiess.
'Dougherty had taken wife No. 2 to Boston.
and was there living upon the monev obtained
from wife No. 1. The authorities of Darby, de
termined to brinp; him to punishment, made
every exertion to ascertain his whereabouts; 111
this endeavor they were aided by Kev. Father
O'Neill, who soon discovered the city, the street,
and the room m which the parties were living.
The Burgess of Darby started to Boston 1 011
Wednesday last for the purpose of effecting the
arrest uud bringing his prisoner here. It is
thought, however, that he will have to be de
livered to the authorities of Delaware, where
the crime of bigamy was committed. The vil
la in ous deception he used to swindle his first
wife out of her hard earnings has no remedy
in law."

The following extracts snow the state of the New
York money market yesterday :
from tli Herald.
"Gold was excited within narrower limits to-day.
vi.., from YM1 to I3.v, and the market seemed to
indicate that the remnant of the clique who inaugu
rated the lab; movement were endeavoring to reviv e
the 'bullish' feeling. The gold balances were un
usually large at the Clearing House.
"The demand for cash gold slackened off to such
an extent that the rate for carrying gold balances
ranged from 2 per cent, per annum to 1-11:4 of 1 per
cent, per diem. Exceptionally there were transac
1 Ions at Hat for borrowing. At the (told F.xohango
Hank the gross clearances were tll t,477,0iw, the gold
balances $ti,TI4,41, and the currency balances

"Foreign exchange was active and decidedly
tinner, holders ol gold buying bills iu preference to
paying the extravagant rates demanded for carry
ing their balances. The improvement in sight ster
ling was fullv ?'totfper cent., the prime bankern

Commercial paper was dull, except at very high
rates of discount, the market being better supplied
