Petitioner's lniijoi'lty 44
Tl'c petitioner, Mr.- Nlirppanl, pravs to bo hearl
in fxi 'iilt mid explain tlieso errors, In order that the
lYurt will rc-exainino and reconsider their count
11111! j'ldirment, anl to U--hirc tint true voto.
Mr. I'.nldlc iienlim tlKj.inntti'r on liehaT of the
iii't'tioiicr, said the object or this proceediusr was not
to cull In ipiestlon the principles upon which the
court tus already decided, out simply to direct tluslr
tattciiiion to certain ci-iiral and arithmetical errors
in the computation made in thai. Jnltriii.-nt.
I'ldtt'e Allison suggesteil that since a certiorari
hurt lie hi allowed in this cas, the fir it (iiiestion
would lireperlv be whether the Court had power U
nrocecd with this petili"li.
Sir Middle said that this was the same term In
which the judgment was given, and therelore the
court had power to review that decision.
Mr Mmui, appearing lor .Ml-. Gibbons, hero moved
to drill's the writ, lirst, beranse the record of this
choc was not in court, and therefore tliu Court were
powerless to re-cMimine or alter It; and s votnlly,
lii-cuu-e the petition docs not propose merely to call
attention to simple clerical and arithmetical niis
Mkes, but that its vitality consisted alone In recall
ing matters which were of the merits of the con
tents, and which have already been passed upon.
Mr. l'.iddle denied that this was the purpose 01 the
iiri.cecding, contending that It was founded solely
noon three clerical and arithmetical errors and
cmifsinus. First, there was an error In the thlrty
Mx natitralizod votes, which the Court decided tho
respondents in the contest were entitled to, and were
counted in the case or the Mayor, but omitted In the
case of the District Attorney. The next was an
error of H votes in the purging, which should have
been counted, because in the taking of the testi
mony counsel had agreed that those unasscssod
voters who said that they had voted the Uepubllcan
or Democratic ticket should be taken to have voted
lor all the candidates upon that ticket. These 14
votes cast for the Democratic ticket came under trial
class, and while the Court did not throw out 1111
Bssessed voters of this class in other Instances, yet
these 14 were tnrown out
Mr. Mann denici that any such agreement was
entered into,
Judge Allison said the judgment or the Court con
sidered this matter, and decided that no such agree
ment between counsel should take the place of the
proof or thequaliiicationa or votes.
Mr. Middle xald that this certainly was the under
standing under which counsel acted during the
whole examination.
Mr. lierhardt ami Mr. Sellers gave their evidence
to the same assertion, sayiug that had It not been,
that the case would have occupied twice as much
lime as It had consumed.
Mr. Mann again denied this, and made an expla
nation. Judge Allison said the agreement between counsel
was immaterial, for the majority or the Court hud
decided that they were to judge of the competency
uf the proof of votes.
Judge Ludlow said that he had made the failure
to compute according to this supposed agreement a
point 01 his dissent
Mr. Middle resumed, saying that he hoped to show
theCourtthat he was correct in his position, ami
maintained that he had already overcome 14 and 3J
votes, making 60, and with an error of 6 admitted
by the other side, there were lert 13 votes to over
come .
As to the objection that the writ of certiorari was
a bar to this proceeding, he thought that as the term
in which the judgment was given had not yet ex
pired, the whole matter was yet in the breasts of the
judges, and the fact that one of the judges who de
cided the contest had, after the altowance or the
writ of certiorarl,sworn In the present Incumbent, he
thought would remove doubt on this score. Tube
enre, the oath was administered In the Common
Pleas, but the judges of the Common Pleas were
judges of the Quarter Sessions, in which this pro
ceeding propc'ly Is, uud they would judicially kmw
What transpired in each.
Judge Allison asked when the certiorari was made
returnable, and was luiornied that the 1st of Janu
ary next was the day, It having been issued on the
Itftn 01 uetouer.
Judge Allison said the Judges were not vet pre
pared to pronounce an opinion upon the lcgafcmsct of
Hie writ of certiorari; out lie was inclined to think
the effect was to take tlu whole case out of court
as it stands, though tils brother I.udlow differed
from this view; but counsel had better proceed
to say what wa-i to be said.
Mr. Middle then resumedThe 06 naturalized
votes, 14 in purging the Kightli division 01 the Niu;h
warl,and 6 In a recount, were admitted by ihe other
side. and that made K votes lor which Mr. Shep
pard was to be credited by tlio admission of the
other side. In the opinion of the Court it was said
that It was the duty of the Court to save a poll where
it could be done by purgation.
But in the Sixth division of the Seventeenth ward,
lie unassesseit vote amounted to til, but instead or
blowing out the whole vote he threw out only 4T.
So in the Seventh divUiou of the Seventeenth ward,
instead of throwing out the 89 unassessed votes only
W were thrown out. This did uot look like acting
upou what Mr. Mann stated to be the principle, to
throw out the whole-uuussessed vote, but, was rather
like acting upon what was understood to be the
agreement of counsel at the examination.
With thu 5f votes admit ted ami the 1 3 left to be over
come, the facts thus exhibited must throw a decide 1
majority in favor of Mr. Sheppard, lor the lowest,
error mentioned In either of the purgations amounted
to 14. He thought this was not a matter for argu
ment uut for simple presentation to.tlie Court.
"Mr. Mann replied that, admitting the firtv-flvc
votep.thirteeu were left as Mr. (iillons'm ijorir,v, and
the petitioner as to these asked the Court to retrace
their steps, and restore the votes that they had
already decided should be thrown out, and then Mr.,
fcheppard wouM be elected by 44 majority. It wm
confessed that the decree was correct, if Judge
Brewster did not compute the imussessed vote,
but If he did compute the unassessed vote he
male a mistake in his figures, aud Mr. Sheppard was
entitled to a seat. And it only amounted to an as
sertion that the decision or tiie Court did not tally
with the claims or the contestants.
The only question was whether rhe Court Intended
1.0 count the unassessed vote; and the majority of
Uo judges had decided that the unassessed vote wai
not to be counted, noon which Judge Ludlow read a
disssentlng opiniou" saying tuat they should be
counted.
Vhe petitioner had no standing here unless he
asked the court to revise their couut and allow these
unassessed vUes to be Included In the computation.
And this petition was based ajlely upon the allega
tion that there was an agreement thaf when a man
had said he voted u ticket he should be tiikeu to
have voted the whola ticket, and tlut agreement
had beeu violated, and the ciuirt did not observe .t.
J lie uueer.taLdii'g between couusel was en
tirely dlilerent, tind it was hard to conceive how a
oinerence coillcl liavp arisen ai 10 us c.uaracter. 11
the petition was to bo the guide for the action of the
Ctwrt. then evurvtiiinsr that the c-outtfstant.s claimed
would haveto be allowed, and Mr. i;ibi)ous' majority
Would bo inerenserl bv hundreds. The Court had.
however, rejected the theory of the respondents of
l ountlug the tinassessed vote, and refused to count
It. The computations of both sides were, Of course,
BUblect to the (leuTpe.tion of tile Court.
Judge Ludlow said that as this was uot his decree
thai was to be reviewed, he was sitting merely as an
advisory member or the Court.
Mr. Mann resumed bv saying that the petitioner
had, before the contest was lairly concluded, rushed
into Court with a writ of certiorari, then
lie discontinued that writ and took
out a second, which removed the
record from this court, and there was no power left
here to alter 1 hat record, but if the court should
discover any error In the computation, he should be
clad to have It ex nosed.
At the close of our report the discussion Uad not
been concluded.

THE BROOKS CASE.
The illation for a New Trial of the Convicted
ASNHKSIII.
This morning Messrs. Maun and Cassidy appeared
11 ihe Court of Ouurter Sessions, before Judge Lud
low, to argue the motion made for a new trial in the
ase 01 iiiign w arrow ami .lames jjougueriy, con-
icted or assault ana Dattery witn intent to kin
aines J. Brooks. As the to exceptions taken to the
ulincs or the court in regard to the challenges
made to jurors, the arguments were limited.
The main ground tor me motion was in reierence
to the witness McLaughlin, counsel maintaining
that as the Commonwealth had called him as their
witness they were bound by his sworn testimony,
and were not entitled to contradict him or impeach
him by direct testimony, and should be, at tne
larthest, allowed only to prove that he made other
and different statements; but the court erroneously
icrmitted the District Attorney to prove, by Mayor
Fox, what those other statements were.
A so. an error was committed in permuting vno
District Attorney to make, In the hearing or the jury.
t ie statement he did make concerning mo aosenue
of Policeman Kelly, and tho importance or his at
tendance, whicn undoubtedly had a tendency unuuiy
to Influence the Jury.
The JndL'e likewise made a mistake in sending lor
the jury before they had voluntarily signified their
readiness to render a verdict; the lateness of the
hour, the tedlousness 01 tne inai, aim me summons
from the Court, must all have combined to deter the
jnrv fiom giving to the matter that calm ami mature
deliberation which justice required; also the taking
or the verdict on Sunday morning was discussed, but
appeared to make no impression.
The argument was not concluded, oil account of
Judfcc Ludlow's presence being needed in the Com
mon fleas.
Tub Case ok Akmk Pkoci.ks As, by an unusual
oversight and omission on the part ol all tue papers
in the city, except one, the termination of the case of
Annie Peoples was incompletely reported, it is due
to Dr. Addinell llewson, who appeared as a witness
on the trial, that the following statement should be
published :
In the testimony which the couusel for the defense
produced for his client, he did not prove, as, In his
opening address to the jury, he had promised to do,
that Dr. ilewson's professional associates at the
Hospital had repudiated the use of dry
earth as a dressing, and the cross-exami
nation of those gentlemen by the
District Attorney elicited the fact, that they had
applied to offensive Bores a preparation of which tlio
chief componeut Is clay, ami that none of them be
lieved it to be irritating, tub counwi ior ine o
feuse did not produce a singlu witness, to whom such
dressings bait been applied, to establish that they are
irritating, or In anyway injurious; nor did he pro
duce a single witness to corroborate the testimony
of the chief witness for the defense, Dr. Chapman.
These facts, coupled Willi tliat of the feellug which
this itness entertained ugainst ur. llewson, ami
with the actual abandonment by the counsel for the
defense of his adopted line, even before any testi
mony in rebuttal (which would have included that of
patients treated with such dressing, and of eminent
surgeons in" the city, who hud been subpu'iiaed) had
beeu produced, show that the allegation
of niulpiuetice was untrue, aud could not be sus
tained. Judge Ludlow, lu his charge to the jurv,
set this forth very emphatically, lie said that "tlio
Commonwealth had only pressed for a verdict of
minder of the second degree. The counsel for the
piisi net' had conceded that his opening address as
to 1 he maltreatment had tailed. There was evidence
as to lighting, sutllclent, perhaps, to reduce tho
grace, and the counsel on both sides had agreed to
take a verdict of voluntary manslaughter."
A P roitTFR Attacked At a late hour last night,
Wllliuin 11. l-'ither, Jr., one of the reporters of tho
city press, was attacked bv two roughs in tiro coats
in a car on Uie I'nion line, at Seventh and Lembard
atreets, and terribly beaten about the head and
body. The attacking party retreated from the con
vevance unmolested, and succeeded In effecting
their escape. The cause of the assault it Is sup
posed originated from certain articles which ap.
pen rod lu a Sunday paper with reference to the
Itrooks case, aud which Mr. Fisher la alleged to have
written.

TIIE NEW YOKU MONEY MARKET.
The following extracts snow the state of tho New
York money market yesterday;
From the Herald.
"The features of niKialionstin Wall stieot to day were a
decline in gold to 12S1,. und u 'iii-thur fall in Government
bonds, the imaea of lN7 sellinjt hs low hs IIS1.,. Atona
time in the ioreuoen b panic in both luarketfl seeinei im
minent, and visions of a return to specie iuymuuU bejtan
to float before the evos nf those who tinpponud to be on
the bull side of the Kohl specnlaiion. There is no possi
bility too improhahlo in tho mind of a spui-idaMir when
the market goes iiwiiiitt him. His funcy c-onjuroii up the
worst that can happen, and in 'ho tear of that worat
be becomes panic stricken. The fuel baa been made
manifest thai there ii a bear movement in geld which
dates its inception back to last week, when a prominent
operator boldly bid for and liouuht in one lot all the Uov.
eminent gold on one dar. The price wus then put up to
l:)i i.,, and many were induced to purchase through an ap
prehension that what then seemed the beitinuinifof a
'bull' movement might create a still hurhor price. The
gold cliques havo always niyctilied the street. When buy
ing openly they were credited with really selling a lurgor
amount, but the street found that they had practiced tins
stratagem so often and so successfully that th-y inter
preted tit wrongly the other duy and bought gold
when the cliques were secretly selling. Hence when
within the past few days the actual state of affairs became
known there wasa general pressuro to sell, and everybody
is short of gold, under the impression that the price
inupt decline to liu before a great while elapses. Indeed,
in tiie excitement, this morning those whoso foars wore
uroDsod by their ill luck in being on the "bull" side bexuu
to soiiotibly reuurd specie payment as a muttor not very
iurottin the future, and holders of gold and holders of
Uovernment bonds hastened to dispose of their invest
ments. They also went 'short 'to a large extent, lor in
this way only can account be mudu for the
high rates for borrowing gold when the Trea
sury diNhnreemont of the precious metal are
so very large every day. The effect of theso sales waa a
reaction, wbiih aubseuuntly carried gold back to las
and the aiity-eovens to llti',i. There is some little curi
osity manitestcd aa to the Treasury programme tor No
vember, but doubtless nothing will be made public until
Sunday night, when chance favors Mr. lioatwell with the
opportunity of giving it to the press on a non in busi
ness. The 11 oney market waa easy to-day, with a plenti
ful supply to the (iovernment houses at four per ceat.
On stock rati a were more irrcgulur and raugod from six
to seven percent. In discount I Here wus little doing,
aud that at formerly quoted rates. The liovernmunt
sold a milli' n of gold to-day, tjjllHa.OOU of which brought
12S 51 and f HK, l3t o3.
"A motion will soon be made in the Supreme Court to
vacate the receivership of the Hold Kxclmnge Bunk and
restoro the institution to the control of tho stockholders.
An ett'ii t mil then be made by the latter to secure a re
urn of the putronage of the Gold Board, with a view to
ho resumpiion 01 Clearing House operations. A the
.;otiimitteof the ICxchange have remained ailont since
'heir appointment, it is conjectured that they have been
liable to discover any better way of making clearances
han through the Gold lluuk, and houce on thevtcation
of (lie receivership will report is favor of the old system."
