To-dny, at 12 o'clock, all the Judges appeared lu their piaceB to give judgment in the election con tests which were Instituted about one year ago. A large auilience was in attendance to hear tlie conclusion of one of the longest and most interesting contests that has ever engaged the attention of the Court, and In which the public anxiety has been increased by the long Interval that has occurred between the final argument and the decision, and the result of the election that has been held in that Interval. Two lengthy opinions were read, one by Judge Brewster, expressing ihe views of the majority of the Court, and another by Judge Ludlow, dissenting from those views. The decision of the majority of ;the Court retains Mayor Fox in olllce by a majority of C8 votes, while Charles Gibbons Is installed in the District Attorneyship, in place of Mr. Furmau Sheppard by the same majority. AU the other Dem ocratic Incumbents claiming to have been elected lust October are ousted, their nominal majorities having been less than that of Fox and Sheppard. J ii iIro Brewster' Opinion. In the matter of the contested election of 1BGS Contested elections have never been received with favor by the courts, lor they impose upon us Intri cate questions of law and difllcult conflicts of facts, besides the grave responsibilities of passing upon the effect to be given to the result of the ballot of the people at the polls. The English Courts have always regarded them as nwelcotne, and here we have dismissed several cases that were not found unon the strongest grounds. If we did not hold them within strict limits, we should be constantly overburdened with the election of every oillcer in the county. i'he present cases have broken Into a season of large business, and had it not been for the able assistance cf learned counsel, wo should never have been en abled to unravel its tangled threads. The petitions here involve several ofllces. The contestants ask us entirely to reject the returns from several wards, and the entire vote of the hist three hours other wards, and still iu others to give them the benefit of a recount. The respondents also ask us to dismiss the petitions on the ground that they were not. tiled or the cases decided within the time limited by law, to throw out several divisions because of violence, and to couut the votes of naturalized citizens and others not returned by the election olllcers. In the case of the Prottionotary of the Common Pleas, it is urged tMnt.it died with the term in which it began, ltut JutU'e Allison, iu a prior case, decided against this ussuinptiou, and the question is now at rent. The petitioners, as already stated, ask us to throw out several returns; the petitioners deny that we have the power to do this, but au-.iiu admit. It by ask ing ns to throw out other returns against the pi;U tionecrs. We regard the power to throw out returus when there Is good cause, us existing In this court, alike in regard to county and municipal odious. This brings us to the heart of this c ise: Is there cause for throwing out roturusV l'hls Court has several times continued the power of throwing out whole precincts, and I have held that this remedy should only be applied in the extremist cases, where otherwise it is impossible to lind the true result. The question is. cuu we separate tne pure gold from the dross V It Is lu re averred that the election was conducted by the olllcers with an entire disregard of the re quirements ol law, so that no one can tell who, iy the true vote, has been f leeted. The answer of the f L.i.ia .lUi.l.,o thiu -lit tt.tn lii iiianv instances here the ofllccrs have prs Bented their election records in a statu so self accusing and convicting that they ctin blame no m:iu for thus Invoking the light upon this mass of dark ness. Again, they have received votes in such haste, without seeing or inquiring who the voter was, and allowing hordes of stnitigors to vote as residents. '1 his is the case iu the Seventh division of the Third ward, where the sogyeMn fuh-.i and svppremio veri are so marked, und impossibility of ascertaining t'.ic tiue result so insurmouutaulo, tliar. we must cast It out entirely. The next division attacked by the contestants is the Sixth of the Fourth war t. Here the election books were kept back by the olllcers, false personations permitted, violence used against those who utteuiplil to stay the tide of fraud, and the v He of whole gangs or strangers; and no respectable defense Is mane to all this. We find uncontradicted frauds upon the reourJs f the election, the employment of violence to nld in this fraud, ami the reception of hordes of illegal voters, and we niust also cast this division out. The Seventh and Kighth divisions of the Fourth ward may be considered together. Here we have Almshouse men, bummers, false Eersonatious, mob law, voters deterred from voting y threats against their lives, and this is unan swered. It Is useless here to attempt to separate the truth from the lie, and the case is beyond the power of Judicial investigation. The return la therefore thrown out. in the Eiirhth division of the Ninth ward a very daring fraud has been effected. Men were seen as sembled iu an alleyway selecting for themselves false nainvs and residences and characters, in which to Tote. But upon the couut It is found i hat forty-live votes are to be charged to the respondents, t Now, In the Sixth division of the Seventeenth ward the oaths required by law were admitted, the 'officers Incurring heavy penalties, no naturalization papers or tax receipts were reipnruu, miae voi.es were received, and the most disgraceful violence nsed bv the olllcers insue. ine hmjuuu urn forthcoming, ana u i u'b ? n,ui' .,uU..i, aimo votes challenged were received with out proof, and other frauds committed In number, ' .

But Judge Pelrce, In opposition to the views of mvself and Judge Allison, holds that they aroof such a character as hopelessly to befog the result, ami therefore the precincts should not be wholly east out, but ought to bo purged lu the manuer hero- In tno sixteouvu m i ,.u...,-... fraud was made in the count, the remedy for which, ha contestants Bay, Is a recount.

LAST Fmids vltiato all proceedings and may nnllify the returns made by election olllcers. A prohibition ac companied by a iwnslty is not to te regarded us merely discretionary. The law says that no man Khali be allowed to vote whose name is not npon the 11 t of taxable, ami accompanying Ibis prohibition Is s penalty. A clause is directory when the provision carries words of direction, and no more, hot not when it carries words of absolute prohibition. When we reflect how a national election may ke Jeopardized by a violation of this statute, we say that Its disre gard by the election officers Is deserving of the strongest condemnation. Now, as to the positions assumed by the defense. They ask us to cast out the vote of the Second and Tenth sf the First ward and the Tenth of the Nine teenth. The proofs of fraud and violence are very strong, false personations being allowed, murderous attacks mads upon voters, and tho unlawful arrest and imprisonment of nofTending citizens. The contestants answer Mils by saying that the statements of witnesses who at tempt, to prove these allegation were Inconsistent, anil tne returns wouni snow mm ui " respondents here was heavier than ever before. Hut this Is not the proper tent; the purity of the ballot, und the protection of the citizen are the chief objects of the law. We freely apply in favor of the respondents the rule Invoked against them, and cast out these pre cincts. The respondents also attack the Fourth of the Seventh, the KigMth and Ninth of the Tenth, the Third of the Eighteenth, and the Seventh of the Third; but there is nothing in the proof to convince us that they should be rejected. The rejection of the Tenth or the Nineteenth ward is strongly urged by the respondents. This is the division where the dispute arose con cerning the appointment of a judge ot a new divi sion by the judge of an old one, and the subsequent revocation of this appointment, and a refusal to comply with the revocation. No fraud, however, is complained of. ami no violence except in two cues, and those confined to the immediate victims, and we do not consider the dispute between the judges sul llcieiit around for the rejection of the division. Again the respondents a."k us to throw out P.fl other divisions because of the refusal to receive votes unon Sunremc court naturalization papers There Is no proof beiote us that the papers rejected were iremiliic. or for whom these voles, if received, would have been cast, and they could not tie given to either narty. After a further review, Judge Brewster summed up the result as follows: Fox's majority for Mayor, s. Gibbons' majority for District Attorney, C. All the other contestants elected by large majori ties. Then we have the following persons iu oillre: Fox Mavor. Gibbons District Attorney. I'eltz Receiver of Taxes. Hancock City Controller. Worrell City Solicitor. Donegnn Prothonotary of the Common I'lcai. McC'uen City Commlsslsner. .IuiIkv l.udlow'n Dlent. In his dissenting opinion Judge Ludlow dwelt npon 1 he grave nature of the responsibility resting upon the Court in deciding such a case as this, ailecllug as it does our republican form of government in its most vital point, lie gave a most. elaborate dissertation upon the law of the subject, maintaining strongly that this Court had no right to cast out a whole division, thns depriving the legal voter of his right to have his vote counted, but contending that the proper remedy in case of fraud was to purge the couut, thus throw ing out the fraudulent and giving cried to the legal vote. Notice was given that tho case of the District At teniey would be taken before the Supreme Conn upon a writ of certiorari. STATE SUITS. resDHylvniiln find the Credit Mohllllcr A Se rlcM ol I.ltiH'iiioim. J-'rmu the I'ittebttrf ('fl.) ilaxette, Vet. 15. Some years ago, the Pennsylvania Legislature granted a charter of incorporation to a financial company styled the "Credit Mobilier.'' The scheme of this corporation was very closely modeled after the French institution of the sume name, and, like its foreign prototype, con templated linancial operations upon a scale of magnitude not before known to the business world. The proposed direction of these operations was in the advance of large credits to banking, railway, and other enterprises, in which much capital would be required, the consideration for the advances usually ineluding, among others, a speculative interest iu the profits cf the special enterprise to which liuan- c:al aid was thus exteuaeu. The Credit Mobilier of Pennsylvania has. It is supposed, proved highly profitable to its managers and shareholders. The most familiar, as well as the most remuneiative, of its undertakings has been, according to the common belief, iu connection with the I niou Pacilic ltailway. Indeed, it is the received public impression, and probably a correct one, that the leaning interests iu ooiu corporations are Identical, and that, the vast, prollts of the railway enterprise have been absorbed by Its managers under the clonk of the other financial concern. The Credit lloluller Is a Pcnusyivauia corporation, und has its principal otllce at Philadelphia, its char- tor was first omaineu uy uun uresn. it was after wards supplemented, ana the company parsed under the control of Dr. Durant and other New York ope rators. The concern is ami lias always ocen laxiiole In this Commonwealth. For years it uas paid its taxec, to the annual proQt of the Treasury, but for several years past it has beeu delinquent. Investigations ny our financial ouiceis snow mat a very large sum is due iu this way to the State a sum so large that the Credit Mobilier has agreed upon a basis of settlement, in case a legal liability of any sort really exists. X. pou tr-is basis Hie Common wealth claims the payment of ruu,uOO irom the com pany, and the company admits thai, this sum is due, if anything be due at all. Suits havo been instituted by the State in the Dauphin Common Pleas for the collection of this large sum. The company contests the claims, but has entered good bail to abide the result of the lit! gution. ilut a stockholder In the Credit, llobllfcr, who is also concerned iu the Union Pacilic Kail, ray, lias broucht suit in a Court lu this Commonwealth against the former concern; for, as he alleges, an unfair distribution of the prollts of their connec tion. Attorncy-Ucneral Brewster appears as oue of his counsel, and a largo sum is demanded of the Creelt Mobilier by way of compromise. So far he acts in the proper line of his professional duty. We wish that this were all of the story. But we regret to say that it is not. As counsel for this pri vate clieul, the Attorney-Ceneral hail taken out, It Is said, lu his official capacity, a writ of warranto, to test the legality of the charter of the Credit Mo bilier as a Suae institution. If the charter be an nulled under that writ, the Commonwealth loses, at one blow, its claim for the half million of delinquent taxes, for no taxes can be assessed upon a corpora tion which shall be found to have no legal existence here. I While making no Imputations upon the personal Integrity of Mr. Brewster, the in:rt insists that, if the facts are correctly sfa'ed, he should be at once removed by (iovernor Ccary from his orllce as At-tomey-Ciuueral.

Tho Leglslatnre did not transact any business of Importance yesterday. Considerable numbers of the members will go to Franklin to-day, where Johnson la to speak. Andy's riends are still confident of his election, although the belief is largely entertained that he has been losing strength during the last, few days. Election eering Is us brisk as ever, tho most extraordinary efforts being made on both sides through the press, in the hotels, und in the streets. It is not probable that Johnson will refer directly to the Senatorial question In his speech to-day.

Judge Henry Cooper, A. O. P. Nicholson, Edwin Ewiug, Bailie Peyton, Kobe rts, Tapp, and T. A. K.

The question Is, when concentration on some one man Is resorted to, will not n considerable number who at first voted from local considerations transfer their ballots to Johnson ? Some certainly will, but whether enough to elect Is Just now the puzzling query. It Is not probable that, Etheridge can absorb enough votes to elect himself. fSlnte and County Fnirs.

( There is a more active demand for money this morning, both at the banks and outside, and the consequent presure tends to harden the rates cur rent, but there Is not sufficient change to Justify us iu quotinp; it. The, curious anomaly presented In the New York money market, and the contrast which it presents to our own, can only be accounted for by on Indisposition on the part of the banks of that city to discount Rrain paper, but this fails to clear up the mystery which surrounds our own market. The demand for money, both on business and speculative account, is below the aver age at this period, and yet our banks are unable to supply one-half the amount required of them. Ilut whilst It is dilllcult to tell "which way the money (roes" from this centre, it is undoubted that the rates lor all classes of loans are high, irregular, and un satisfactory to business borrowers. Cold continues exceedingly dull, the entire range of fluctuations bcingi39lli0,V,uo change from yes terday. There Is barely sufficient transactions In Govern ment bonds to-day to enable us to determine prices, but the tendency of the latter, especially for the nw issues, is dceiuedly improved. There was no improvement perceptible at tho flock Hoard to-day, the sales being very limited, but prices were rather steady. In mate and City loans there was not a single transaction to report. lteading Iiallroud was quiet and ranged from 47 to4itcush; Pennsylvania Kuilroad sold at 2C,3,'r M.'?; iMInehlll Kallroad at 62Vf, and Oil Creek and Allegheny liallroad at Its v; 120 was bid for Camden and Aiuboy; 80J4 for North Pennsylvania; 37,V for Catawissa preferred, and 2' for Philadelphia and Erie.

Ofllcisl advices received yesterday by Sonor Marls chal, the Mexican Minister, state that the opening of the session of the Filth Constitutional Congress took place on the 14th lust., with all due solemnity. The President of the Republic said that the fierlodl cal and regular renovatlou of the public powers, as well of the Union as of the States since the termina tion of the operations of war, two years ago, Is de monstrating more clearly every day the consolida tion of our institutions. That we can expect with reason that the relations of the Republic with some; European powers, Interrupted by the late war, will very soon be established In a just and convenient manner; that a treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation recently concluded with the Confederation of Northern Germany will be sub mitted to Congress; that tlio relations between Mexico and the United States of America are of a most cordial nature; that foreigners have a tho rough protection throughout the whole country, and that the troops that revolted iu Tatnaullpa? against the State Government having submitted, peace was enjoyed throughout the whole country. The Presi dent of the nation also added that, lu order to main tain order, the Government has all the strength given to it by law. itciying upon tne Buppon ot purine opinion, wnicn condemns any idea of appealing to arms against the authorities emanating from the popular vote, and be concluded by indicating some of the Initia tives that will be presented by the Executive to Congress. Tho Speaker of tho House delivered a brilliant speech, which has merited general applause, and from which we extract the following paragraphs : The magistrate who, in times of trial, was at the helm of public ail'airs two years ago, after struggling with tho terrible obsta cles brought alMiut by the laws sanctioned by the country, and after resisting, wil nouu vacillating for a moment, by the assistance of law and good order, the numerous and warlike forces that invaded our territory, is the same person that clothed with power, by the popular vole, comes to-duy to Inaugu rate in a pucitlc manner the first session of the Filth Constitutional congress. Aim sueti is tne moral ad vancement, and so (treat Is the experience acquired by Mexicans in times past, that it is certain that ai the conclusion of the constitutional term ho will come to deposit tranquillity, the delicate charge of this Government in the hands of his successor elected by the people.

The following extracts snow the state of the New York money market yesterday : from the llerald. "The monoy markot was a shade raoro active to day, although the rate on call loans ti!l ruiiRod from four to eoven per cunt, as the etrom and exceptional quo tations. '1'he bulk of InismoHi was at live to six per cent. The growing scarcity of grain in the New York murkBt led to sharp advance in the pries to-duy as high as five uents on tho bushel for wheat, according to some repurln which has (iouhtlubs led to shipments this way from Chicago. The counter move ment of currency, together with the disparity between the Government puruhnsus o bonds and buios of gold, readily accounts for the slignt activity perceptible in the locul money markot. Discounts wore without now feature. The foreign exchange market was steady, tho demand for the steamers to-morrow being mot by u fair supply of bills.
