PI> ° nted TsiSniil&Bfc dwtmtaTKD ButoiioN Case.—ln Select Council yesterday afternoon the committee ap pointed to try the matter of the petition of Andrew Sterling, contesting the right of Thomas A. Barlow to his seat&aiwA member of Select. Council from the First Ward, reported; Of course, In favor of Mr. Bar low. The committee say; , . ■ , • ■ . . „ The official returns of . the electionahow that the sitting member was elected by a majority of fourteen votes. To entitle the contestant to the seat be must show either that fltteen illegal votes were cast for the sitting member, or that that number of votes which would have been cast for the contestant more than were counted and returned for him were llle> 4 by-the election officers, or thaf the ag gregue Of these two classes of votes amounted to. that The counsel for the contestant claimed at the ont etart of thpir argument. In .summing up the evidence inthocaapjthatthejrhad proven thlrty-efght Illegal and fraodulent votes cast for the sitting member, and that. one vote was illegally rejected, which would have been cast for the contestant ./sOkteMl«tion of six votes Which counsel admitted wmejgtljUegal, leaves thirty-two votes for our ex-. fonrteeen of these thirty-two votes, there some testimony given by one or more witnesses fn each rase, that the ballot had a Republican heading, or was given to the voter by a Republican, or that the voter came with Republicans to the polls. In some cnees, only ode of these circumstances was shown; In others two. and, there may have been a case in which all t hree of these circumstances wore shown. As to seven others of, these thirty-two votes, the voter himself was examined before the' committee, but in each case was unable to stato for whom he voted for Select Connell, or for any O'her offlce. - The contestant has, therefore, entirely failed to prove that any one of the votes now under consldera tion was cast for the sitting member. It ought to bo here said, however, In jnetlceto many of these voters, that it has not been proved that they were illegal votors; and, until it is proven that they were illegal, the lnw presumes them to liavehetn legal voters ; The course which the contestant's counsel took In this caße, and their rc|>cnted allegations in regard to the tise of the city's money through the Highway De partment to promote the success of the sitting mem • lier, merits a word or two upon the facts of the case as opposed to mere allegation. There was not a particle of evidence presented tliar n single dollar was takon out of the City Treasury for the purpose alleged. On the contrary, the sitting member subpoenaed and brought before the committee Mr. Peak, the Supervisor of the Fiist Ward, and the City Controller, with the official pay rolls of the De paitment of Highways, as tiled in tho office of the Con troller. By these witnesses and records it was clearly and affirmatively proved that none of the persons mentioned by.the contestant’s counsel as Illegal voters, were on the pay rolls of the city, or received a .dollar of , the city'B money. Not only this, hut It was also shown that the names on the pay rolls were houaJUie names of persons who actually did the work and were paid for it; and there is not a payment on these rolls of $24, the sum which contestant’s counsel al - leged was paid in every instance to these allegen il legal voters, e Mr. Peak was subjected to a full and thorough cross-examination by the contestant s coun sel, but they entirely fulled to produce a particle of testimony either from him or from’any other witness, that one dollar of the city's money was used to pro mote the success of the sitting member or of his political party. However clearly it may have been proven that sums of $24 each was paid to some of these voters, and however Improper such payments were, yet the money so paid, if paid at all, was the money of private cltizenß and not of the city. It 1b due to Mr. Barlow to say that in no single in stance was any testimony submitted to the committee showing or tending to Bhow that he was In any way concerned in the procuring.any of the.alleged fraudu lent or Illegal votes. It was proved, and admitted by him, that he procured work for William Joline, about the time of the election, a young man who supported his mother, but who did not vote nor offer to vote. There now remains for consideration only the vote of William Deweese, whose vote was rejected by th,e election effleere. The committee are of opinion that this vote should be coanted for Mr. Sterling. To snm op the result of the whole case, according to the above opinion, the matter will stand thne: Mr. fallow’s majority Is 14 Deduct as illegally cast for him 8 Add to Mr. Sterling’s return Mr. Deweese’s vote or deduct It from the above majority, which will be the same in effect 1 Leaving 88 Mr. Barlow’s majority 5 The committee, therefore, report that Thomas A. Barlow Is legally elected member of Seleet Connell from the First Ward, for the term of three years,from the firßt Mondav in January last paet,and is, therefore, entitled to retain his seat.

Mr. Harper submitted the following resolu tions approving the Impeachment of Andrew Johnson: Whereas, The Councils of Philadelphia, acting In their representative capacity, deem it expe dient, when important public events interesting to tho people are transpiring, to give expression to the sentiments of those they represent; and, wheras, we believe that all legislative bodies acting for the people should condemn any at tempt to override the laws; and, whereas, Andrew Johnson, the acting President of the United States, has again,in defiance ol law and in opposition to the will of the people,expressed through their rep resentatives in Congress assembled, assumed to control the Government by usurping judicial and legislative authority, thus endeavoring to clothe himEelf with unlimited power; and, whereas, laws passed by Congress over the veto of the Presi dent are according to the Constitution as binding as any other; and, whereas, the assumption of judicial power by declaring such laws unconsti tutional, and of legislative power by attempting to set up his own will in opposition to the laws, are in open violation of the Constitution. There fore, Resolved, By. the Select and Common Connells of the City of Philadelphia, That in the crisis in which Congress, by the attempt of Andrew Johnson to subvert the Government, now finds itself, we hail with satisfaction the action of the House of representatives, evidencing a determi nation to protect the people in the rights guaran teed them by the Constitution and the laws passed in accordance therewith. Resolved, That Unpeople approve most hear tily the wise and prompt action of the House of Representatives in impeaching the dangerous ana unscrupulous man who so unworthily fillß the Presidential chair, previously occupied by the beloved and lamented Lincoln. Resolved, That the Clerks of Councils are hereby instructed to transmit a copy of the above to our Representatives in Congress. Mr. Sluhl moved to amend, by striking out all after the word resolved and insert the following: Whereiisj Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, by his firm adherence to the Con stitution and the laws made in pursuance thereof, has endeared himself to all constitutional and law-abiding citizens; and Whereas, He is now threatened with impeach ment and removal fronff office for attempting to test the constitutionality of a law believed by the best legal talent of the country (including many members of the Senate) to be in conflict with the plainest provisions of that sacred instrument— therefore, be it Resolved, That we heartily sustain and firmly endorse Andrew Johnson, President of the United Slates, in all constitutional measures to preserve the dignity and prerogatives of his high office from the encroachments of the Legis lative department. Resolved, That the removal of Edwin M. Stan ton, late Secretary of VVar, was demanded by the best interests of the nation, and his conduct in endeavoring to cling to the emoluments of olllce. after his removal by his superior officer, was characteristic of the man, and,deserved and re ceives our Btcmest condemnation, i r Mr. Hetzell believed'that Councils had some thing else to do than to interfere in a crisis now toibg On in Washington. President Johnson ad . only done that .which wonld enable- him to test the constitutionality of an act that would deprive 1 him of thd power of making appoint ments. Councils should attend to their own business and allow the Snpreme Court of the United States to settle the question. Mr. Harper said the Union people of this coun try believe Andrew Johnson to he a' traitor, and still a small minority ln thls chamber Otter a sub stitnte for the resolutions thanking Congress for Impeaching the President. Mr. UUlon thought if Councils would legislate for the poor of the city,, the citizens would bo better satisfied than to see members voting upon such resolutions as those now offered;' He qbougbt it would be more becoming to leave the ’subject to the courts to determine. The etibstttute w'aß.voted down, and the original resolution? vtere adopted. -, 2 ; Mr. Hetzell offered a resolution directing the Chief Commissioner of Highways to give notice to the proper party to have the concrete pave ment on Walnut Btreet, between Front and Water, removed. Referred. ; The resolution instructing the trustees of the City Ice Boat to advertise for proposals for tho Immediate construction of a City Ice Boat, which whs wider‘dlstusßlon at the adjournment of Connells last week, was taken up. Agreed to, yeas’39,.naybO. after being amended so that the money required to construct it Bhall bepaldottt ofa Igah hercafter to bo made. The following resolutions and bills from Select Council were concnrred.in: One providing for an enumeration of street lamps; one approving contracts for a school-house in the Twenty-fifth Ward. The further supplement to an act to incorpo rate tho city,, providing for fixing the rate of taxes, and defining duties of the members of Councils, as adopted by Select Council, and to be sent to the Legislature, was taken up. Mr. Hetzell moved to amend the first section by adding “that it shall not be lawful to make : any appropriations to departments after the an nual appropriation has been'made, unless by a two-thirds vote. ‘ The amendment was voted down,and the reso lution was lost by a vote of .lGyeas to 26 navs. The ordinance fixing the boundaries of Fair mount Park* M reported by, the committee of Councils, was taken up, whott . Mr. Potter moved to amend so as to change the THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.-FHILADELPHIA, FKiDAy, FEBKtTAKY 28,18681 eastern line as follows: Along the western lino of Thirty-third street, to the southwesterly line of Ridge avenue, thence along'Ridge avonuo to the southwesterly lino of Soutu Laurel Hill Ceme tery; north ’of Huntingdon street, thence to the river. Mr. Potter said that the amendment was an Important one, because It would secure to the cily a site for tho building of reservoirs for storing water to supply the higher portions of the city. The amendment. If adopted, would make a straight line from Thirty-third street to the intersection of Ridgo avenue, and thcncoto South Laurel Hill Cemetery. Mr. Hancock was opposed to the amendment, because the ground asked for was unnecessary, and the Park Commission had not asked for ft. He said there was no trouble in making amend ments, but there would be trouble when the money had to ho raised to nay for it. Mr. Hetzell moved to amend the amendment bv inserting, “that the line Bhall commence at Hie N. W. corner of Columbia avenuo and Forti eth street, thence to Thirty-seventh and Susque hanna avenue, thence to South Laurel Hill. Mr. H., in proposing the ameudmeut, said that Ihe points named were those embraced in tho re port of the Park Commission, and any extension of tho boundaries was unnecessary. Councils should recollect that magnificent parks require large appropriations, and this point ought to l>« considered. Mr. Wagner approved of the amendment offered by Mr. Potter, because It was one calculated to add to the purposes contemDlated by tho Park; tho object of securing this land at the present time is to afford a park that will answer for all time to coine; and the improvements that will be made around it will bring imtaxes for more than the interest on the purchase. s This has been the result in other cities, and he had no doubt the Borne effect would be seen in this city. Again, immense reservoirs are necessary for the storage of sufficient water to supply the city, and these basins would require a geod many acres of tho purposed purchase. - ftlr. Potter again addressed the chamber, and argued that parks were a great blessing to tho poor, who were unable to leave the city during the summer. He referred to the New York Park, and stated a number of facts to Bhow the great increase in tke value of property surrounding the park, and the large number of persons visit ing it. After some further remarks by Messrs. Dillon, Simpson, Littleton and others, the amendment of Mr. Hetzell was lost—Yeas 10, nays 34. Mr. Potter’s amendment was agreed to—Yeas 34, nays 10. An amendment was also adopted, providing fora roadway of one hundred feet around the entire Park. The ordinance was then ngreed to. Tho act of Assembly regulating the manage ment of the Pork was adopted, after being amended so as to empower the Park Commission toemploy a sufficient force to keep order in the Parkland also prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors witbm its limits. Common Council concurred in the amend ments made by Select Council to the bill making an appropriation to the Board of School Con trollers. / Mr. Shoemaker, of the Committee on Lay, re ported an ordinance making the Chief Commis sioner of Highways superintendent ol street cleaning, and empowering tho said officer to cleanse streets neglected by the contractor, after due .notice being given him. Agreed to. Mr. Potter reported an ordinance making an appropriation to the Highway Department for 1868, which was postponed and ordered to be printed. Adjourned.

The Commonwealth vs. Joseph Mnvloy aod Janies Hunting, and the Commonwealth ex ref. Joseph Mavloy and James Boatingvp. tbo Keeper ot the Philadelphia County Prison. JHabra# corjrv k Error to the Quarter Sessions of Philadelphia Comity. Opinion of the Court, per Thompson J. The habeas ctrrpUH ipaued at the inatanccof the rela tors. Mayloy and Keating, is de'crminable exclusively by the retult of our judgment in the writ of error sued out by the Commouwcaltii, which brought up the record of their conviction and sentence to imprisonment for lar ceny in the county prison. This being apparent, it was agreed by the counsel for the prisoners to argue both cases together, which having beeu done, they will now be con sidered and disposed of together. • The single question to be decided la as to the power of the Criminal Courts of this County to reconsider a sen tence after the term at which it was pronounced and during the progress of itsexecution, and to modify or d I minish its extent, the rule for which having been entered at the time of sentence and vvihlnthe term. In the caso before us, sentence was pronounced upon the prisoners on the 15th of July, 1887, to undergo an im prisonment of one year in the county prison, and pay a i ominaltine and costs, and they were immediately com n jtted in pursuance of the sentence. On the same day a rule was entered at the instance 6f the Court “to show cause why the sentenre in this case should not be recon sidered". •■•To 'this rule no return day was assigned. Afterwards, en January 16, 1868, the docket entry is ‘‘rule absolute, 11 and on January 20,1868. the prl* record ’infonnßj usi : were brought again, beforelhe"court and re-sentenced to pay a nomlnaißne and undorgo imprisonment in the county prison for the term of six calendar months and seventeen days each, to be computed from the date of the original sentence, viz * 15th July* 1867, and to pay the costs of i/rosccutioD, &c. This operated to remit five mouths and thirteen days of the original sentence and left the prisoners fourteen days to serve after sentence. It was alleged in argument that there was a practice of long standing in Philadelphia to sanction this proceeding, its validity being questioned, and the learned Judges of the Courts being desirous of having the matter definitely settled, took the first opportunity to present a case which might fully test the matter, ana, made the rule absolute in thd cases of these relators. This was highly proper and commendable, as they were not the authors of the alleged practice, J n treating the question thus presented U Is not intended to encumber ouroptal’ n with a revlowof every point sug*; gteted and debated-.in argument . .This .would not be i osslble within the. compass of an opinion of rcasona bio length* It is neither necessary to tab requirements of the cose* nor beneficial to the law. The first remark which may be,made la, that the power exercised is not to bo found in any express authority, constitutional or statutory, nordn any express right of the couvicta to its exercise. Comta are founded on ex-, press authority and their duty is to -near aud determine according to law. . ; Beyond this the only express power to interfere in re gal d to convicts is the pardoning power.excluaively in the bonds ol the executive. Of course* in the exercise of Ju dicial power there are many thing' inherent in tbo. courts, and exercisable by theibt, withoutchaving been conferred by statute, but which necessarily result from their ownre les and uniform practice. But practice is do lined to be the ‘ form, manner 3 ntaiorder of conducting and carrying out suits , or (prosecutions in the t courts through tneurvarioiiß stages, according to the principles of law, and the rules laid dottn b* *the respective courts. Bouv. X. T.lc., Tit Practice.". JtttM no more. As a matter of pracfice—if this aefihttlon be sound, and I do not ; doubt it-rthe exercise of .the power claimed must stand on higher grouno than a' mere aux iliary ruts, of practice. Ib it an f inherent common law power, or a customary power? 1 bese,questions we will Pr its e ?xercS a ffisbeencompared with the allovvanco In England of the ancient and now obsolete plea or claim of benefit of clergy, whichit is seen and truly, was auowed a i ter j udgm ent, as well Os before* and even under the gallows, if tie Wgd who , pawed the sentence to pass bv. - But the r 'law of the privilege, nnd .

The numcrona nuthoritiea cited in tho -paper hook of tho Attorney General and colleague, both English and American, which I need not notice, more apecittily.oatftlK huh this to be tho rule beyond doubt* .In fact, aa autf geatedon the argument from the bench, the tinautr of tho judgment may be a most material thing to the righto of the convict himself, for if lie should desire to,sue out a w rit of error, the rule to reconsider* exhjttng might stand in his way, a final judgment not appearing on the record. But it was argued that the rttlo to r<*c insider within tbo term ia a modification ijM facto the rule which regards, the finality of ihe sentence. The difficulty is to find an- 1 tliority for tho rule. A principle ia often limited w ita eioponj counteracting princi vice* and whefi It la ao. the operation is by force of In w. But it la quite another thing to rri akc a rule to control a principle. 'That Is legislation. To go to tho extent of tho argument would be to set aside the very maxima of tbe law in regard to finality of Judg« mentH. “iDtrrcsee rcepubllco* res judicatam noureefndo” and '*rcs Judicata pro verltato accopiCur.” - • ' Every part ar d parcel of process against offenders tends to i\ culmination in a final and irrevocable) judgment by the tribunals. The steps aro numerous, affording an oppor timlty to consider at each. In tbo first place, a com* plaint on oath mnst be made; then a noarlng before a magistrate; then a bill of indictment prepared by a public officer; then an examination Into tho complaint, or offence charged, by a grand Jury. Then process for witnesses and counsel is allowed; a time for trial ia assigned; limited peremptory challenges are allowed, and for. cause without limit. Thus on tbo trial he ia confronted by tho Iwltneaaca. If convicted, after a full trial, be la allowed a time in which to morula arrest of judgment or for a new trial; and since all that lias been done, and If he can allege error In the record, he in entitled to a writ of error. After all this ho may al* lege everything in his power to mitigate the sentence. No one can boubt, therefore, that after tliia, the judgment pronounced, which is hut the sentence of tho law, ought and is to be final. With the execution of the sentence coarts have nothing to do, nor ought thoy. It cannot be doubted, 1 ttdnk, that tho practice, al though doubllwe It would be a great relief often to the mind of the Judge, would, to a great extent, be de structive to one of the objtct* of punishment,viz.: re* formation of the offender. Lot it bo understood that he may have n portion of hi* sentence yon any day remitted br the Judge, ho will occupy tola thoughts with the expectation dallv and hourly, and scheme and hope for tho result In such a state moral reform would bo out of the question. Ilia punishment would bcall’he while imccrfhln to him. A rule mr practice fraught with such results could scarcely have ita origin in any consi derable nxpcriei co in dealing with convicts, and must be regarded as an nrenment against its existence. Another ground of argument wan, that it was sanc tioned as a local custom General it is not as we know* and the numerous letters of the} Judges throughout tbe State prove. That a practice to some extent has existed in the Courts before tho present learned Judges came upon the bunch, vindicates them from tho charge of innovation, but it bad neither the frequency nog thengc to give it the force of law. It should possess this to oven tile both the practice and maxims of tbe law The paper-books of th» defer dant's In error and the relators exhibit less than half a dozen of authentic cases before tho rear 11*61. all occurring within tbo last 2ft years. Doubtless there nre many since. A prescriptive right to an easement or a presumption of payment might be founded on this lapse of time: but a custom to have the effect of law must have begun '‘time whereof tho memory of man runneth not to the contrary.*’ This ia the fiist ingredient In n custom having the force of inw, bv which Courts are bound, and of whieh they take notice. The practice in courts, it is admitted, may be established without written rules, as the foundation in a shorter period. This results because it la a convenience to courts and sui'ors and has Its purpose only in facilitat ing results. Very different is the foundation and maturity necet-sary to constitute* a good custom, general or local. They become law from immemorial usage and universal acquiescence, cither In the neighborhood affected or in the whole community,if It be affected thereby. We think, therefore, there Is nothing in tho position to Justify the practice claimed and exercised in the cases In hafcd. It perms tome, there ore, very plain that the practie ip neither sustained by t> e common lawas *n inherent power In the courts ;bor has ever existed as the common law of this State; or as a /;ood locaF'ciiftoni within this countv: or a rule of practice within the power of acourt 10 adopt tacitly or hyexprtta rule. On none of these grounds do we think the court was sustained in altering the sentences in the case before ua. Indeed, it seems to me the'very existence the pardoning power con fetid on the .f-K-cuiive by the Constitution la an argument against the practice, it must have been adopted to meet cases, amongst others, where the judg ments of tbe courts were founded in mistake, or too harsh, or reformation supposed to be complete in the e-mvict; birfby the practice in question all this would in effect be ''drawn to the courts, and the ccnstltiitional power to par don rendered almost useless. 1 would not say here that the,proceeding is absolutely in conflict w ith the constitu tional pro vinioD. That is not called for now and we ex pnvs no opinion. - *- There la still another difficulty in the way, and that is not i emoved by the assumption that It would never occur. Bad or weak men might be found In tunc to set aside wich an aw*umptinn ff made, and that is, if a sentence may be reconsidered during its execution, why may it not be increased as will as diminished if tho maximum was not reached in the first instTnce? If reconsidered, it is to be pronounced dt neco, and it is within -3 the atmc power exactly’ to increase as to decrease It It is not diffi cult to imagine times In which the rule might become despotic and most oppressive. If the criminal courts •were to remain always as we know them to be now, this consideration would be mainly disarmed of its unfavora ble a*pert but we have no guaranty for this. But again, if the rule may be granted and exercised oucc, 1 see not why it might not be renewed when the . party is rewrtenced and changed a second or a third tinio ft might be. I think, a* I see no restriction In tbe power if once exercised. It may be it never would but that Jh not the point if the power exists. _ But the right is claimed ex nectHtfUalt rerwn. The argument seems to assume that tho terms of the courts beiDg monthly.scntciice* muribc or usually are delivered in every case owing to the pressure of the business and the changes or other rotation of the Judges before tho end of tho term. But there is no law rgqulring this, nor Is it always pos sible. Prisoners tried within the four lari days of the term cannot bo deprived of their legal right to tho allotted period to prepare and make their motions for new trials. If the term* ends too ooon for this, motion may bo made within the allotted period at the commencement of the succeeding term. \\a do not, therefore, perceive any peculiar difficulty arising from this source. The Court has power to rcmnnil and bold convicts for sentence as loug as may be deemed necessary and advantageous to the ends of justice, nnd In tin* ifiean time may receive infoimotion fn addition to that disclosed on the trinlin regard to what should be the arprooriate sentence in any case where the Court ha* a discretion on tho subject Indeed, the trial nnd motions tor new trials generally develop the data on which to predicate a proper and ju dicious sentence Whether or not, there ia no inch thing in tbe law ae tho right of Hie convict to be heard by the judges or courts after sentence, especially' after the' term. Ufa raaort must be to tho Executive. No doubt, it is often einbarrapsiu? and painful to a Judge to sentence, because ct doubt* in regardto the character of tho convist, and tho motives and incentives which may have led him Into crime at the moment of Sits commission. But that diffi culty has to be encountered by Judges outside of, as well as in cities, and a practice to mitigate the supposed evil has not been resorted to in the country, or any lefonn de manded in order io relievo against it It is true the number of convictioos Is vastly greater in the cities than in country districts. But the difficulty In dealing with these in tho tmme way in both, is rather in the want of judicial foice than in the forms and require* iiicnts of the law. Tbo only remedy 1b to Increase tills force if insufficient, and then consider well in doubtful cases,and ponder long before sentencing, and act ou the best lights at hand. If there be error, then it must be cor* reeled by Executive clemency, if at all. The real diffi culty is not removed by the practice contended for. A Judge is quite as likely to be embarrassed nnd deceived in the last sentence oh in thefirbt. Certainly a regard to motives and inducements which are to bo looked at in passing sentence, con never be certainly known under any circumstances. Approximate accuracy in administering Justice is all that lfl possible inhuman tribunals.
