The editors of the llepublican made an out- rageous attack on the integrity and honesty of a manlier of the leading citizens of this town, over our shoulders.ln last week's issue.

There was an other fall of snow on Monday night and on Tuesday the sleighs were numerous on the streets. A few inches more of the white Hakes and colder weather would bring delight to many lovers of .sleighing.

Wu advise our readers as a matter of precaution though there seems to be no danger at present to get vaccinated without delay.

The following opinion delivered by Judge 1 .1 well will he found of general interest to all voters, mid deserves a enieful reading. Many of lhe points decided arc frequently thu subjects of discussion, but hitvo liefer been detlnllely settled hy Judicial authority, so lar as wo nave Knowledge. J. A. Howard, ) vs. No. 10 Deu.'T. 1881. W. H. Jacohy. J CKHIInlUKI. Opinion of the Court, hy Klwell, President Judge, filed January I I, 18S2. The Justice gave Judgment for the plain tiff for six dollars ami llfty cents upon a claim of thiKc dollars for services lu procur ing delegates from Pino township to a nom inating convention favorable to the nomina tion of the defendant fortlie olllce of Iteglslir mid Recorder, also, for six dollars and 11 fly "cents, money borrowed at the instnnc of "the defendant, and used for htm lu paying "travelling expenses to election, and for men "to leave their work and go to thu primary "election for defendant, and for liquor hills "Sic, und for two dollars paid for one gal "Ion of whiskey furnished by the plalntlll "at the Instance of the defendant." It does not appear whether there was a special contract to procure delegates to ho elected from the township named, who would vote for tho defendant, or whetliel, having rendered services hy request, the plaintill seeks to recover upon n quantum meruit. It was not material to spread the claim more fully upon the record, The rigid of the plalntllV to recover that item of Ids claim depends upon tho chiiincler of the services performed. If they were not pro ldblled hy law, nor contrary to public policy and good morals, the contract therefor was a valid contract. A candidate for nomination or election, may freely and lawfully use all honest means to procure ids success at the convention or at the polls. The act of 18th April 1871, Pamp. L. Ill, expressly nuthnrlz.es payments and contributions by candidates for printing, travelling expenses, dissemination of infor mation to the public, political meetings, demonstrations and conventions but excepts out, uvcry direct and indirect purchase of the vote or influence of an elector, and every act for nny corrupt purpose whatever Incident to an election. What is cleaily embraced w ithin the terms above mentioned and not excepted therefrom is lawful. Interest may be made for a candidate without taint of cor ruption. Electioneering, as it is called, with out the use of corrupt means, Is not con demned hy the law. Even art may lie used by a candidate in securing ids election with puru motives and patriotic purpose. The statute forbids the'perverslon of art, not its Use. Williams vs. Commonwealth 10 Norris f!03. Per Trunkey, .1. The statute is iiot to be so construed ns to prohibit a candidate from employing a friend to canvass an election district for him and by repicscntalions in regard to his qualifica tions, his claims for party support, or by any legitimate arguments operate upon the minds of tlie voters, and thus piocuro the return of delegates who will support him in tlie nom inating convention. Such services are not Illegal and aiea sulllcient consideration to support a promise to pay for them Including necessary travelling expenses. But tlie loan of money for the purpose set forth in the plaintill's claim was illegal. Every contract made for or ntWl any mat teror tiling which is prohibited and made un lawful by a statute, is void. Badgley vs Deale, ii Watts 204. Money lent to lie cm ployed in an unlawful game or any other il legal purpose cannot be recovered back. Eler man vs Iteitzel 1 W. Si S. 181, 2 Smith's Leading Cases 3 10. Thu act of 1874 in express terms declares that It shall not bo so construed as to author ize the payment of money or other valuable thing for the vote or lnlluencc of any elector, cither directly or indirectly, at primary, township, general or special elections, nom inating conventions or for any corrupt pur- pose whatever, incident to an election. Money paid or promised by a candidate to voter for his day or travelling expenses iu attending an election or a primary meetin. and casting his vote for him, although such payment or promise Is ostensibly made as a matter of friendship orcharlly, it is a viola tion of the Act of Assembly and of tho pro islons of article VII section 1, of thu Con- titiitlnn. It is not necessary In order to tiring a cue ithin the prohibition of the statute that the candidate in terms agieed to pay a certain sum as a consideration for u vote. Ordi inly proof of corruption in such cases can only be estnbllshcd'bv the attending circum- stances. Where money is paid to a voter under tlie circumstances slated lu tills transcript, at least a prima Jacia case of illegality is estab lishcd. If the purpose of tills loan was not illegal a candidate mar lawfully proclaim that every voter for him will he paid for Ids time and travel. It needs no argument to prove that such an olfcr, whether made to few or many, Is nothing more nor Ies than a money bid for votes, nor that tliure are persons en titled to vote who would be iiilluenced by the sum promised or paid to cast their votes for thu generous donor, lu a canvass thus conducted, a competitor who depends upon his merits, Instead of money, stands but a poor chance for success. Especially would this he tlie case if it was understood (as It is in all such eases) that the liberality of the can didiitu who distributes tlie money was limited to those who would cast their votes for him. Tho purpose for which tho plalntlll bor rowed and, as he alleges, expended the six dollars and a half demanded iu this suit, was iu part at least contrary to the statute, and iu all respects contrary to tho policy of the law. The plalntlll cannot state his case without exhibiting Its Illegality. No court will lend Its aid to enforce a contract con trary to law or good morals, but will leave the parties where It found them. However it mav be considered aside from the law, iu law thu condition of tlie defcndim' is the better. The loan of thu six dollars and llfty cents being one contract and for purposes con trary to law the judgment must be reversed. Judgment reversed. By inn Consr.
