The Order for the rMwhnr of 1000 Men to Carried Onu The ordor received by Commodore Marchand, of the Philadelphia Navy Yard, from the Navy Department at Washington, for the (Uncharge of the workmen In the 8 team Engineering anl Construction Departments, will be carried out this evening at (I o'clock, the hour at which work 1b suspended in the yard. In the two de partments there are 10(H) men employed 1KI0 in the Construction and 100 in the Steam Engineer ing Department. The order for their dismissal will not be read to them, for tbey have already been apprised of its content. V hen the document was first re ceived by the Commodore, the men wero noti fied that their services would not be required after the 31st of January. If tho order should he revoked before 6 o'clock this evening, the muster-roll will be called to-morrow mprniog as usual, but if not thero will be no calling of tho Toll. The clerks in the departments above named are to be retained until the bunks, etc., are entirely entered up, and if it is found neeeseury to continue lialf-a-do7.cn workmen they will be transferred to the pay-roll of some other department, thus carrying out the order to discontinue work in tho 8team Knglneerlng and.Coustructlon Departments of the Navy Yard. The announcement of tho event has created quite a stir among tho employees. The average pay of the men Is &:i-.T per day, tho maximum being t4 and tho minimum ftl-lR). The master foremen of the departments, act ing upon the expressed winh of tho employes drew up a petition to me naval atuuorii.ics at Washington, asking that they might bo allowed to work without pay until the appropriation or transfers to the departments were uinlo. This was sent oil on ttuturday afternoon, and the workmen now live In hope that tho dreadful ordr discharging them nil may ho revoked ere this night. Tho petition has no doubt beeu re divert at the department, but at this writing (12 o'clock) the Commodore has not been com municated with in reference to It. The machinery of tho yard will not come to a stand-still, for in the other departments there ure three hundred meu employed, and as yet no order lias been received for their discharge. Tho dismissals will not interfere in tho least with the work on the United States frigate Coa gres, which in expected to go into commission in a few days. Jler steam engines are In readi ness, and pome plunking is to be done ou board of her. Only a rew days will bo required to put bcr in "trim'1 for sea. This vessel was launched in the fall of '(17, and was christened the Push mataha. When Horle came in as Naval Secre tary ho rebaptized it. giving it the name of Cam bridge. Kobcson followed with a third christen ing, giving it tho title of Congress. The frigate is a maguiticcnt vessel, with interior arrange ments unusually comfortable. After her trial trip she was returned here to have her sailing qualities enhanced, by more spars and rigging. Tuis has been done, and she Is not now, as once she was, de pendent upon steam to move her. Her arma ment consists of 14 nine-inch Dahlgrcn guns, 2 sixty-pound rillo Fnrrott guns, and II boat howit zers. Captain Harrison will comnmud her, and J. Crittenden Watson will be tho executive olliecr. Klio will carry the Hair of Commodore Greene, commanding thy south division of the Pacific squadi on. Last week u portion of her stores were placed on board. The Antletam is ou the stocks at the yard, and Is partially planked. Tho Powhatan aud Brook lyn lay at the wharves awaiting repairs. The object of the sweeping ultimatum at the Navy Yard is variously commented upon, and the majority take the most popular theory, that the appropriation is all expended. Wllatever the reasons be, this wholesale dismissal will cause incalculable suffering to many families. On Sutarday tin order was received for the discharge of V.W) men at the Boston Navy Yard, oOO additional men at tho Now York yard, and 1200 at San Francisco. It is expected that Con gress will legislate to enable a speedy resump tion of work In the navy yards. The Secretary of tho Navy has modified his orders In reference to these discharges so that many of the men can be retained by transfers to the pay rolls of other bureaus of men employed therein.

A number of line, spacious cars have recently been placed on the Market Street Railway. They were constructed at the company's shops, under the supervision of Pre sident Morton. We saw street-cleaners on Market street a few days ago, and an examination this morning revealed the fact that the latter condition of the street is worse than the former.

Nlnl Prliift-Jwilae Aanew. mis twenty-fifth ward contestfd r.i.r.r- THIN SPKl'IAI. INJUNCTION DISSOLVED, AND PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION REFUSED. This morning Justice Agnew, sitting at Nisi Prius, delivered the following opinion: Samuvl J.. ,Snjiiler t. William F. frmitk tit at., Committee of Mrrt Council. T inier Hie iMily-llfth spetlnn of the act of VMWii nry S, hm, the t'lly Councils have exclusive ami llnal jurlHilteilnn U try contested flections of their own members. Their Judgments nrn niihjeet to no appeal. It Is clear that, as In other triminals to which n rxcliinfvfl Jurisdiction Is commuted, they must determine the question of Jurisdiction for themsplve. Avery presumption, therefore, Is In favor of tlielr riKhtful jurisdiction whpn they have once BKsnmed it, Ii, would ho destructive of the imhllc Inter st and of all correct principles ol action, were It to lie held Hint, a court of equity could arrest in limine the procfcdinK of a quaH political htvly having power to determine Its own jurisdiction, for every sctnilug departure In the exercise of its powers. Admitting tho power of the Court to Intervene to prevent a tlHprnnt tiaiirpat Inn of undelegated autho rity, the esse should he clear and palpatih;. It Is not denied that, the subject, matter ! within the powers of the Select Council, or that tho commit tee has been duly constituted. What then Is the ground of this bill to restrain the committee? Mlniply that, In the exer cise of lis iindeninole right of Judgment, r.ln? Council hss decided that the petition to contest the seat of the sitting member was presented within ten days. The Councils were organized on tho ltd of .I.mnary, n nd the petition was presented and received on tho UUh, clearly wllhln ten days, unless we Include the day of the organization In the count. 'J he case hinges on tho old dispute, whether the time Is to lie counted from the a.:t or from the iliy of the act n controversy which, in Kngldiid, Lord MsnMleld himself could not settle upon a conflict of decision for two hundred years preceding his time, and which, In this State, has been a judicial guino of battledore und shuttlecock down to the case of Cronielicn vs. Ilrlnk. ft Casey, rn. In that, eina Judge Porter at Inst settled the rule of eompiit itloti to lie that stated in (iomlter's Kstate, R Pennsylva nia, !m:'"J'hat whenever, bv a rule of court, or au Act of Assembly. given number of days arc allowed to 1h nn act, or It Is said an act may be doue wltliiu a given lumber of days, the day In which the rule Is taken or the decision rnado is excluded."' TIih accords with tine principle, that where a rlirht Is to be saved, or a remedy is given, tho Legisl ature Is not to bo presumed to curtail Its own gift, of power for a beneficial purpose, In the absence of a clear nnd well-defined Intent. The provision h to U that the complaint of an undue election shall not. tie acted on by the Council "unless presented within ten days after the organization of Councils. '' (irijaniration, tho art from which tho computation is to be made, may not be complete until the lasthour of the day. That day Is Imperfect, and may bo cur tailed by disputes in tho organization until but a point of time remains. In fairness to the right to be preset ved and the remedy to be enforced, that day should nut be counted. The contest is the only means given to contest an alleged wrong. It is a case where a right Is to be preserved and a remedy enforced. It Is the right of tho people that their true representative shall have his seat, aud the con test Is their only remedy to unseat one who has bv fraud or false return usurped tho place of him chosen by them to till It. What is the contest but an appeal of tho people from the decision or the officers of the election to the Council, to determine their right of representation 1 Therefore, as In ap peals from Justices, arbitrators, and Inferior courts, tho day of the act to wit, the decision, tho filing of tho award, or the judgment the day of the act must be excluded, and the count of time begins npon tho next. day. The ruin hud down In Uomltcr's Kstate and Cromelien vs. Brink has been reaffirmed In Marks' Kst, vs. Uussell. 4 Wright, 372, and Is emphatic, because It reversed the judgment In the lower court founded on the opposite Interpretation. Put were the rule less clear I would refuse this special Injunction, and leave the party to theUnal result oi ins mil. Nothing is more to be reprobated than an interference with the lawful powers of a body such as the Councils of a city like Philadelphia, representing a constituency of almost a million of people. An Injunction which Is not of right, but of grace, should not be granted except In a clear case, and to arrest a palpable abuse of authority resulting In some irrenarablo Injury. It Is, said the present Chief J list i . , i V. S. Snilt, in, "a high exercise of power, nr-l snotild be cautiously exercised an appeal to the extraordinary power of the court, and the plaintiff Is always bound to make out a case mowing a clear necessity for it a necessity In the light of inability to bo compensated lor the wrong w nicu would ensue n noi arrested. The special Injunction is dissolved aud a prelimi nary Injunction is refused. Nupreme Court In Hnnc -Chief Jomlr Thomn. nun nnn juuiiti ntoa, Aoew, nuarswaud, and tYlllliiiiiN.

The city complains that In passing this act the Legislature overstepped Its constitutional auuiority, ana assumed a tiiiu L-lul power, which alone can discharge executors and substitute new ones, and upon this priucipal point the case is discussed.

This prisoner, Murphy, though charged with Flanulgun, was Indicted separately, and hence his trial was deferred uutil this present session.
