TUB CONTESTED ELECTION CASES. Tab decision rendered by a majority of tho Court of Common Pleas on Saturday, on the contested election casern, is a document of great interest and importance. In tho fall of 1808 the Demoeracy of Philadelphia organized Itnd perpetrated the most gigantic election frauds erer attempted in this city. Rendered desperate by repeated defeats on the one ! band, and encouraged and emboldened by tho j aid reoeired through Andrew Johnson's treachery and the active assistance of the ! trhiaky ring on the other, they made the laost j flesperate and villainous efforts known in I oar political annals to aohieve at oubo city, i State, and national ascendancy. At the out- Bet they began by creating voters out of j Hewly arrived emigrants without the slightest ; regard to the requirements of the law, and ! without even a serious effort to provo in a j Satisfactory manner that tho necessary con ditions of citizenship had boon fulfilled. It ia known that forged naturalization papers Were in circulation, that men were suborned to Swear to the continued residence of emi grants with whoui they were totally unac quainted, and that the Supremo Court issued ' six thousand certificate? Of citizenship in a period bo brief that a proper investigation of tho questions in volved was totally impossible. As all difficul ties arising from length of residence were practically surmounted either by perjury, forgery, or the negleotf ul manner in which naturalization papers were issued, it can Boaroely be doubted that tho Democratic city ticket received from this source alone more VOtes t which it was not in justice entitled than its entire majority. And yet, the main defence of the respondents to the charges based on the innumerable frauds of other descriptions is that they were not permitted in all instances to reap the full benefits of the false naturalization branch of their iniqui tous campaign ! Unfortunately, it was not ia the power of the Court of Common Pleas to Inquire into the validity pf the naturalization papers which had been so hastily and, in many instances, improperly granted, but it Very wisely and justly disregarded the demand of the respondents that the vote of cortaiu Republican divisions should be thrown out on account of the rejection of these tainted certificates. It was not merely by men in buckram of foreign birth that the Democratic loaders proposed to defeat the will of a majority of the bona fide citizens of Philadelphia. Gangs Of personators were organized from among our own Democratic desperadoes and their kindred of other cities, and thy voted at not only one but a series of polls under Demo cratic management, and in some divisions they voted not only once but on repeated oc casions. It is a part of the judicial history of the election that not only this glaring species of fraud, but nearly every other conceivable f ft n Afl rf i rV sf noviiann vnonnlil nrn a sti-vi nived at and encouraged by the Democratic election officers of certain divisions. They had evidently been selected in consequence of their known skill and unscrupulousness in aiding and abetting frauds on behalf of their party, and setting out with the determination . to yield full compliance with the behests of their fellow-partisans, they disregarded all tho essential requirements of the law, and admit ted every vote offered for the Domocratii: ticket, without reference to its legality. For abuses of this description, which had beou growing worse and worse in certain divisions for a aeries of years, there could be no other remedy than that applied by the majority of the court, of throwing out the entire vote. This action was necessary not only to ensure substantial justice in regard to the contest of 18G8, but to teach the rascals who are at tempting to override the popular will that they can derive no permanent advantage from similar frauds hereafter. The right of the Judges to adopt this strin gent remedy ia manifest, not only from the tenor of Judge Brewster's decision, but from the weak manner in which it is combated by Judge Ludlow. In acknowledging that the entire votes of oortain divisions have hereto fore been thrown out by the Judges in this city as well as by other courts, he giants the whole case, without weakening it in the slightest degree by his accompanying state ment that the previous rejections of votes presumed to be legal did not affect the result. The only thing at issue is the principle, and if this is fortified by precedent as well as reason and justice, the magnitude of tho in terests affected by it heretofore is of no mo ment. If a rule is good for the disposal of a case involving the title to a petty office, it is equally good for the disposal of all the politi cal prizes in the Row. While there is no lack of confidence in tho proposed new District Attorney, Mr. Gib bong, the Democratic incumlent, Furman SheDDard. has displayed bo much ability, in- tegnty, courage, ami muunvry iu uun.umgiug tho responsible duties of his office, that a Tery general feeling of regret prevails, among Republicans as well as Democrats, that the Judges decided his opponent to be legally elected. It is barely possible that this por tion of the decision rendered on Saturday may be overruled by the Supreme Court; and Mr. Sheppard s counsel will no doubt earnestly contend that the vote of one or two Republican precincts in which the proceod- THE DAILY EVKN1NQ TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA. MOM DAY. be thrown out. If this vlow Is sustained, t ic i eople will nooure a continuance of Mr. Shoppird's useful services. THE RESIGNATION OF SUM! EON GltEKN. The case of Assistant Surgoon Charles L. Green has excited much attention all over the country, and, with tho exception of tho Wash ington Chronicle and the Now York Time, there has been but one opinion expressed it j regard to it by tho press. Mr. "Green was found guilty by a naval court-martial, and sentenced to a severe and degrading pun ishment for declining to declare a Biok man to bo well at the bidding of bis commanding officer. Tho injustice of this sentence was practically acknowledged by tho Secretary of tho Navy, who remitted the penalties im posed, and contented himself with adminis tering a mild rebuko to the offender. It will readily be seen that Mr. Groou was placed in a very peculiar dilemma. If he re fused to obey the order of his commander in this matter he was certain of but one thing a court-martial and a degrading sen tence. If he had obeyed, and the man who was tinder his medical care had died, exactly the same fate would have awaited him, for no court-martial would have admitted such an order as Surgeon Green received from tho commander of the Nipsic as an excuse for the death of a sailor of whose condition the medi cnl officer of the ship'alone could judge. Wo are not surprised, therefore, to hoar that Surgeon Green has resigned his commission, for there was no othor course open to him if he had any solf rcKpect or professional pride. Tho merits of his case are perfectly plain to all excopt tho martinets who control the affairs of the navyj and it is perfectly useless for any one to con tend that the punishment of this surgeon was necessary for the ma intonance of discipline. To unprejudiced minds it would seem that the well-being of the service would have been promoted much more if the commanding officer, whose abuse of the authority placed in his bands caused all the difficulty, had been brought to justice. There is a limit even to the supreme authority of the commander of a United States naval vessel; and with the re peated complaints of cruelty that have been made of late, it is certainly high time that tho Secretary had made some motion towards in vestigating the casos that have been exploited abroad through the public press to the great scandul of the service. Tho rooral of Surgeon Green's case, how ever, extends beyond the individual sufferer. It shows conclusively that theve is an urgent necessity that Congress should take. in hand the whole subject of naval management, and in an impartial and judicial spirit define with as much exactness as possible the limitation of each officer's rights, privileges, and duties. Matters certainly can be regulated so that there need bo no clashing of authority, as there always will bo under the present loose system, that leaves nearly everything to the discretion of the line offi cers. It is absolutely necessary that the medical and engineer corps of the navy shall be filled with competent men, and if competent men are expected to enter them they must be jyotected, whether the graduates of the Naval Academy like it or not. As matters now are, there is no inducement for educated surgeons and engineers to enter the service; and the best men in all the branches of the staff are so thoroughly disgusted with their present status, that they leave tho navy whenever they have an opportunity to do so, and there are no persons of first-rate ability to Btep in and take their places. Tho examinations that surgeons and engineers have to pass are very severe, as they ought to be, for it is not desi rable that any but first-rate men should be admitteifinto the service. The rate of pay, of itsolf, however, is not sufficient to tempt tho best men into any of the staff corps, and if other inducements are not offered they will give the navy a wide berth. Above all, they must be assured of gentle manly treatment and protection from insult. Any surgeon or engineer who is competent to pass a naval examination is certainly able to make more money on shore or in tho mer chant service thau his salary will amount to; and until the Naval Academy is able to turn out thoroughly trained doctors and engineers, it is eminently desirable that tho highest standard of excellence should be maintained in the staff' by the exclusion of all half-educated and weak-principled men, who will con sent to be only subserviont tools to carry out the whims and fancies of the line. This cannot be done under the present system, and there is already a difficulty in filling the vacancies that exist in the medical staff, and it is likely that there always will be until a reform takes place, or another war breaks out that will induce gentlemen to make any personal sacrifice for the sake of serving the country. OBITUAKY. JoMCiib Hllncr, Ex-tiovernor of Pennsylvania. Joseph Rltner, the venerablo ex-Uovernor of this Commonwealth, died ou Saturday, at the resi dence of his sou in Carlisle. lie was born near tho city of Jleadlng, la Uorks comity, on the iioth of March, 1780, and was therefore In his ninetieth year at the time of his death. lie belonged to one of tho old Dutch families of the State, and was a true type of his curioug class, lucking depth and brilliancy, but endowed with enrnrtttnesa and solidity of character. Six months' instruction tn a private school of rather mean pretensions comprised all tho education that hu received in his youth. When a mere lad he removed from lierks to Cumberland county, where he hired himself out to a farmer. remaining in this humble position until the time of Ills marriage, at the ago of twenty. A few yeurs after ho again migrated, removing to Westmoreland county, and finally to Washington county, lu the western part of the State. Not nntll ho was well advnnccd in years did ho enter upon his political career. In lb'M ho was elected to the lower house of the State Legislature as a Whig, serving In that body during gevon con sectitive years, ami acting as Speukcr of the lloiiso during the last two years of his term. Ho .used to tell an anecdote concerning his early political ex periencc which gives a fair insight into his char acter. After he had retired on' the evening of the day which witnessed his first nomination to the j-crsia'-'ji'i l's !iavife Utws. ValsTtt: Ing the cause, ho learned that hi near neighbor, the miller, was going to Taylorstown the next day K electioneer against him. "Ojilt nobbing, my denr," responded the sturdy Dutchman; '"I will go too, about lOo'clock, and if he abuses me I will Hi k him 1" Having once entered Into the political strifes of the period, he rose rapidly to prominence, but In 182S, on retiring from the House, he was defeated as the Whig candidate for the Htato Senate In his district. He then entered the Gubernatorial rieH and was twice defeated as a candidate for the highcHt oftlco In tie Commonwealth before a split In tho opposition ranks presented the opportunity whioh resulted In lils election. At this period the Htato was so hope lessly Democratic that tho agitation of the old lssuea gave no propped to uielr opponents of hurling them from power. In this dilemma the anti-Masonic movement was originated, Thaddeus Stevens be coming it Inspiration, while Kltner was Its oitcnsl ble leader. 8omo of the most Intimate friends of tho latter wero connected with the Masonic organiza tion, and ho always claimed that ho entertained no personal animosity against the members of the order, being simply opposed to Masonry as a system, because he believed Its machinery to be llnble to abuse In the hands of ambitious and de signing men, and In this way a danger to the free Institutions ef the country. His connection with the anti-Maonio movement was the source of much hostility to blm during each of his candidacies, and ultimately led to bis defeat in 1S38, when ho was a candidate for re-elcctloD. Bnt It served to rally around him a formidable party In the State at a tlmo when It was morally impossible to make a success ful stand against the overwhelming tldo of Demo cracy on tho ordinary political issues. His first nomination for tho Governorship was re ceived in 1829, with opposition to Masonry as the most prominent plank in his platform. Three years before, Governor Schulze had been elected by an almost unanimous vote, allow ing how complete was tho demorali sation of the opposition. Kltner received nearly lifty-two thousand votes, but George Wolf, his Demo cratlc opponent, had a majority of over twcnty-slx thousand. In 1832 he again became the anti-Masonic candidate for Governor, receiving 8S,163 votes, while Wolf, who was a candidate for re-election, had 91,335 votes, and a majority of 8170. The strength of the anti-Masonic movement at this time is shown' by the fact that, while Andrew Jackson the same year re ceived almost as many votes as Wolf, his three com petitors fr the residency were able to rally but Blxty-six thousand of the voters of Pennsylvania around them. The Democracy, however, failed to profit by the lesson which the closeness of the vote on the Governorship should have taught them, and in iS'M there was a split in their ranks. Wolf had lUrendy held the ofllce for six years, and aspired to a third term. The patronage at tho disposal of the Chief Magistrate of the State was much greater than under the present Constitution, nearly all the county oillccrs being subject to his appointment. All the Democratic politicians who had fulled to Berlins tho ear of Governor Wolf, therefore arrayed themselves against him and clamored for a chauge. A strong opposition to his re-election also sprung from his devotion to the cause of popular education, of which lie was one of the earliest and most steadfast advo cates, and virtually the father or our present ad mirable public school system. The opposition to Wolf's re-election in the Democratic ranks was cen tred upon F. A. Muhlenberg, a member of one of themoBt aristocratic families in the State, and, aside from his enmity to the cause of popular edu cation, a man of liberal views. Kitnor for the third time received the anti-Masonic nomination, and the vote stood, for lUtuer, 04,023 ; for Wolf, ss,soi, and for Muhlenberg, 40,530. Although nitner's vote was over twelve thousand less than the combined vote of his two opponents, he becane Governor by virtue of his plurality of twenty-eight thousand. Among the first of the noticeable actloui which distinguished his administration was the noble stand taken by him ou the slavery question. At that time the slave oligarchy of tho South wielded supremo power throughout the country, and it was quite as untitle to avow sentiments In opposition to "the pe culiar institution" in the free State of Pennsylvania as in any of the slave marts of the South. But the sturdy Dutch Governor of the State was beyond tho reach of fear, aud In his message to the Legislature, in 13C, avowed his purpose t "bend the knee no longer to Baal." Whittler commemorated this first oflkial protest against the iniquity of slavery in one of the most earnest of his anti-slavery poems, com mencing with tho following stanza: "Thank ("od for the tokon! one lip is still free Cm) spirit untrammelled uubendint, one knee! Like the oak of the mountain, deep rooted and lirni, Kreot, when the multitude bonds to the storm ; Vben traitors to r'reedoru, and Honor, and God, Aie bowed at an Idol polluted with blood; When the recreant North has foiRotton her trust, And the lip of her honor is low in tho dust, 'Jliank tied, that ono arm from the shack lo has broken! Thank Uod, that one man, as ifrmnan, has spoken!" Thaddeus Stevens was universally regarded as tho keeper of tho Gubernatorial conscience of Kitucr, and doubtless inspired, even if he did not write, the message ; but it required no small amount of courage and conviction to assume tho responsibility for these noble words, and to that merit, at least, Kltner has unquestionable claim. ' The great United States Bank question also figured prominently during his term of ottlce. Presi dent Jackson having vetoed the bill extending tho charter of this Institution, the Legislature of Penn sylvania, in 1830, granted a charter under which the bauk continued its operations until its Ilnal suspen sion In October, 1839. When Governor Hitner signed the churter granted by the Legislature, his political opponents united in charging him with having ac cepted a bribe for so doing. His earnest devotion to the cause of popular education was the' occasion of this charge. Although he had himself enjoyed none of the benefits of a liberal education, he became thoroughly con vinced or its utility, aud contributed as much as any other man to tho final success of the school system of the Stats. When the bill rechartering the bank was presented to hlra for approval, ho profossed to lie opposed to the policy of the measure, but finally consented toatllx his signature on condition that "Nick Riddle's Bank" should pay a largo bonus to the State, to bo appropriated to the erection of school houses under tho then new school law. Tho bonus was paid, and the bill was signed, but whether the Governor actually accepted a bribe must reraaiu in doubt, although It Is known that an attempt to Influence him tn this manner wus contemplated. Kitner's term of oitlue would have expired in December, 1838, but tho new constitution extended it to January, 1S39. At the election of 183-3, he was, for the fourth time, the anti-Masonic candidate for Governor, but his opposition to Masonry insured his defeat by David li. Porter, whoso majority, however, was but 6490. The contest was very bitter, and from Philadelphia county two sets of candidates claimed election to tho lower houso of the Legislature. Gov ernor Kltner also professed to believe that by the frauds fhere perpetrated ho had been cheated out of the succession. From this belief arose the famous "Buckshot War," one of the most carious and exciting episodes in the history of this State. Tho opponents or the Governor believed that an attempt would be made to resist the inauguration of his successor by force, and that Kltner intended to continue in the exercise of tho duties of the oitlce until an Investigation could be made Into the al leged frauds. To this sorao color was given by an address Issued boou after tho election by Thomas II. Burrows, Chairman of tho State Com mittee, in which he advised the friends of Governor Kltner, until an investigation had been made, to treat the result as If they had not been defeated. This brought a mob to the Capital, aud the Senate Chamber was taken possession of by tho multitude on the day when the Senate organized. Tho othor branch of tho Legislature was divided into two fuctlons, each regularly orgaulzed and claiming recognition from the Senate and the Governor. Kltner became greatly alarmed, and culled upon tho militia to suppress tho apprehended outbreak. A liberal response was maibp by tho militia, who marched to tho Capital lu considerable numbers, but a request made to the Federal Government for troops was refused. . Ho actual coniiicf .oj currcd be tween the militia aud tho mob, aud "tlio Buckshot W T1 J'3 force. lajaWf ffvl' H. ttHdWiodi'Tl- colty was finally settled hv tt)f fionate recognising Uie House of which William Hopkins, Democrat, had been chosen Speaker. In 1840, Governor Kltner was chosen a rrest.loa. tl(U elector on the Wtilg ticket, casting his vote for General Harrison. Ho demanded from him the office of Collector of tho port of Philadelphia, which he did not receive. He was, however, appointed Trea surer of the Mint in this city by President Tyicr, but held the position a few months only, owing to the failure of his confirmation In the Senate. Ho always aorused Henry Clay with this dereot, putting Clay's opposition on the ground of Masonry. On retiring from this ofllce he became lost to public, view, and passed the remaining years of his life lu entire repose. ., Jobn W. t'lnxlinrn. At 6 o'clock yesterday morning Mr. John W. Claffhora, one of the moat reRpected aud benevolent citizens of this city, died at his residence on Arch street, after an lliuoag of but a few days. The do ceased, although in Uie eighty-first year of tus age, enjoyed comparatively good health until the past year, and met manfully and as a Christian all tho responsibilities his wculth aud position in society imposed upon him. Mr. Claghorn was born at Rochester, Mass., Aug. 25, 1789, and removed to Philadelphia from Boston In tho year 1811. In the war with England In W12, be enlisted and served as a volunteer. On his honora ble discharge In 1813, he engaged in the wholesale grocery business on North Third street, and soon en tered the houso of Gill, Canong Co., auctioneers. This firm was subsequently changed to Jennings, Thomas, GUI A Co., and Mr. John W. Claghorn and tho late John B. Myers were made Junior partners. The two latter gentlemen, in January, 1841, formed tho firm of Myers Claghorn, which afterwards became tho leading auction house in this rlt In iai XI r j t'laghorn retired from this firm and associated hlm- soir with Thomas Robins, Esq., and Uie late Marshall II 111, under the title of Claghorn, Robins A Hill, auc tioneers. A course of high-toned, conscientious dealing enabled Mr. Claghorn to accumulate a for tune princely for merchants twenty-five years ago, and to retire from business pursuits in a few years. The remaining years of the deceased were devoted to the claims of Christian and benevolent enter prises. Ho was for twenty-five years accounting warden of Grace (P. E.) Church ; for over twenty years trea surer of the Pennsylvania Bible Society ; for over twenty years a manager of the Union Benevolent Association and of the House of Refuge: and for a like number of years a director of the Philadelphia Bank, and an active manager and treasurer of the Northern Home for Friendless Children since its formation, as well as of the Merchants' Fund. These services, though unostentatious, were of far more value to tho community than those ren dered by many In public capacities. In every posi tion of lire to which ho was assigned, the deceased did his duty, and his whole duty, and, dying, left to his children tho honor of a name made memorable by the good deeds otyourscore years.
