Judge O'Germsin, a Judge of high rep utation In New Yerk city, has refused te dissolve a temporary Injunction ob tained by Tiffany & Ce., the jewellers of Union Hquare, ngnlnst an clectrle light company that Bought te plant a pole In front of their store. The judge con cedes, In his opinion, that the company has obtained all the municipal and legislative authority it can get te war rant its ube of Tiffany & Ce.'a.sldewalk ; but he challenges the power of the Legis lature te grant them such a privilege without compensation te the property owner, if It interferes with the right which the latter las te free air, light and Ingress upon his premises. Tlie judge concedes that upon the facta na appear in the testimony there is such interference with use of the sidewalk te which Tiffany & Ce. are entitled, as owners of the property. He furthermore nntntu out that the poles are unnecessary, Blnce it is Bhewn that the wires which they carry can be as well conveyed under ground, where thty will net damage the property owner. He refuses in dtssolve the injunction, and the electric light companies of New Yerk city will have te de without their poles until they can get Judge O'Gorman's decision reversed or can purchase the valuable graut they want from the property owners whose premises they desire te use. This construction of the law commends Itself by Ha geed sense The law would net be reasonable which would cnable state or city te take away without com pens.it leti from the owner of the proper ty nny part of its use. Roadways can not be laid out without assessment of damages te the owners of the land, and why a prlvate business corporation should ba permitted te have nny use of another's property te which he objects, without compensation te him, Is quite incomprehensible. The stupidity and supiuenes3 of property holders generally has permitted telegraph, telephone and light companies te make such free use of their property that the people Interested In these enterprises have come te think that they have some special right te use property that is net their own te make a profit for themselves ; and our council men, who are often the stupidest people in the community, are frequently found te agree with them. It may be that it Is rather the knavery than felly of ceun oilmen which makes them thus complai sant te these impudent and aggressive companies ; but whatever the cause, the fact remains that the citizen who wants te preserve his property rights is called en te de se by his own efforts, and net only has no help from these who should guard them from Intrusion, but has even them te contend with. There are suits new pending in this town, caused by the fact that councils have lent their aid te the spoliation of property owners, for the sake of accommodating the demand of the miserable electric light company that its worthless wires shall be strung through the streets en their clumsy poles "When these suits are decided we will knew what protection our property rights have in Pennsylvania. Jujdek TntrxicKr, or the supreme court, in filing his opinion In the con tested prothenotary election case of Lackawanna, lias rendered a decision iu accordance with previous decisions, but which election etlicers aud political workers have horetofore made tee little account of. Jud-je Trunkey holds, as has been held in a line of decisions by lower courts, that if a vote offered by a-i unregistered voter has been received without a compliance with the pre I Biens of the act which demands vouchers for and from such a voter, it makes no dlftirenca wnetuer the voter has the qualifications required or net, the vete is Illegal and cannot be counted. More over en contest the court In which it is being tried cannot admit testimony te show that au unveuched for voter ha 1 the proper qualifications. The time for that is past. It should have been done at the polls, In accordance witli tlie pre visions of the act. Ner have tlie electieu officers the right te receive a vete with out the previsions of the law being car ricd out. They commit a crime in delus se. This decision of the highest court greatly Increases the Importance of regis try and It comes in geed time te waru all voterj this presidential year te see that iiieir names ure en ine registry, u it the commonest thing for qunlilled voters te be left off by assessors, wilfully or negligently. Te ba aure, this can be cured at the polls by vouchers ; bin thceO am Berne lines hard te prectire,und often election officers are net supplied with blanks ; eiteuer they de nut use them. Sluee it is declared, en such high authority, that unregistered voters, net duly vouched for, are Illegal, and te receive such votes Is acrlmo,veters, com mitteemen and election officers will de well te give closer heed te the law. Mil. Gcorek Hubs tells Mr. Spring cr'a committee that his bills for nut vices as attorney In the Star Itoute c.iscs amount te seme $55,000, exclusive of expenses, which were seme four thou Baud mere. He aayB he charged gener ally at the rate of 100 a day, unless when Ids brain was particularly harassed by the consideration of the busluess in hand. He declares that the man who ligured up his charge at $ir0 a day put it tee high, because he didn't count dau eneugh and emitted Sundays. Mr. Bliss worked en Sundays and counted them, and also his time en the railroad cars; and get in the most of the days between his ap pointment und the failure of Its object. Tlie degree of labor which Mr. Kllss be. stewed upon the Star Itoute cases is only paralleled in magnitude by Its Ineffectiveness.

Sp-aking ou the slave cede bill in re teply te tleuerul F.iruswerth iu Congress in 1800, Jehu A Legan said he advocated the bill because it would " put in the pen tlary such meu ub Jim have In your part of the country who baud together and consptre for the purpose of Btealiug fugi tive slaves.

The judge cays be will assume that the rleotrie cempauy has full legislative aud municipal power te erect the poles in qucstten, bat adds that it is n question of law whether the Legislature has cot e-ceeded its powers lu permltt ng the taking of plaintiffs' property by linpilring the use end enjoy enjey enjoy ineut of the light, sir and f a ,ccess te their premises, which formed part of their casement in the public street, without providing due compensation therefer. He says: "If the plaiutiffs had property in sueh easoment, and wero threatened with substantial less or impairment of snob property, then the Legislature, failing te previde for oempeimtlon, oxceodod its powers." The jndge oites a numbjr of authorities upon this point and tbcu says : " Wheth er the creetlMi of thn poles in the case nt bar would have been a substantial impair meut of the plaintiffs' use of their case ment in light, air or free access te and from the street is a questien of faet, and as far as Is shown by the papers used in this motion the propendrauce of uvidence seems te be iu favor of the plaintiff.
