The points' at issue have been so fully diSCII.ed in Our COIIIIIIIII that we need not allude to them in this connection. 23allice it to say that the reso lution was adopted by a vote of seventy-seven yeas to foto. nays. The Association then adjourned. In the Supreme Court, flitting at Philadelphia on Friday, the following di..elMon was rendered Mayor, Aldermen and eltieensaaf l'ittsburgh es. The Pennsylvania Rall.vadClo. Appeal from decree of D. of Allegheily county. Tina use came from the court below on an appeal from the decision of the Judge refusing to enjoin the rail road company for constructing a branch road through Pittsburgh, in accordance with Y plan adopted by the company. Justice head, on del itveriug, the opinion of the Court, after reciting the sal of Assembly applying -to the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company, says: •„ "The cardinal object of the company has been to make Pittsburgh a great railroad centre with in whose limits all the railroads approaching it should contemn with the Pennsylvania Ball a measure beneficial to the company and most advantageous to all the Inhabitants of our west ern metropolis. The connection is complete be tween the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad and the main line by a viaduct across the Allegheny; and it semis siugular that there should be ally objectiot to a similar connection between the Pidsbmgh and Steubenville Rail road, In South Pittshurni., and the Penurylvaela Riihrtni. by another via }art %%goy coheir,. ••Snch a branch, therefore, from the main lino in Pittsbnruh, crossing the Monongahela, and running up to the Pittsburgh and Steubenville road, is within the very words and spirli of the 17th , secticas, and the route which has boon ap proved by the complainauta Is clearly the most advautageous and best suited to promote the convenience of the Inhabitants and the Interests of the company. It is clear, therefore, that the company have the power to make this branch, and that its soeedy completion will greatly ben efit the community. Transhipment of freight or passengers ale ays occasions ,elay and expense, and great dissatisfaction. "The Pennsylvania Railroad Company is now the real owner of the main line of canal naviga tion and of the railroads from Pittsburgh to the Delaware river, and when the conneetioe is com pleted between the Steubenville road and the road at Philadelphia leading to Sew York, there will be an uninterrupted line of travel by land from Cincinnati to the latter city. The time cannot be far distant when the public conven• icnces will force Pittsburgh and its sister city and their surrounding boroughs Ind menicipal ities to consolidate themselves Into one great city, governed by one municipal legislature bad one executive head. Its citizens will then re gard with astonishment the local jealousies of the north and south banks of the two streams %stitch here unite and form the great river Ohio. "Fiore what we, have said, it it, apparent that we do not think the city of Pittsburgh have any right to control the defendants in the exercise of their power, particularly as they have adapted the very plan for the construction of the branch which they approve. Decree allirmed at the cast of the appellant." This Is a v ry unfair statement of the ease. The city of Pittsburgh Interposed no obstacle In the way of forming a union between the Penn sylvNia road and theSleubenvlllc road. On the contrary, it pawed an ordinance giving to the company full facilities for forming tki,e connection. It simply claimed the right to protect Its high ways from destruction and to Impose each re , strietiona as would protect its citizens from injury. That was the Issue before the Court, the railroad claiming that it had the right to go faun , it pleased and do as it pleased. The Court, It scents, has sustained the railroad, in which It may ho legally right, for all we know to the con trary; but Judge Read is guilty of gross unfair ness in charging the city with obstrfing the union of two roads within Re bods, and charging not only an obstructiveness t at never existed, but attributing it to local Jealousies, which sever, for one moment, entered as an ele ment Into the case. ittereseople Entertainment On Monday and Tuesday evenings of this week there will be a gravd exhibition of dissolv ing views of battles, places, animals, &c., at the Fifth ward Public School Hall, fish the benefit of the Sutalay School of the Fourth Presbyterian Church.
