These I gentlemen went so far as tosay that to flpjhls im, the particular base which called out their remon strance, would bo. to foster seettonai feeling, &C. * ■. >,r v .r* --■■ v 1 - •• ; The key note of tie same Idea was also alrucK by the Pubtib Ledger, issued on the momlng-of the regula* toSeting of Councils, holdpt-evioua to that at which this memorial was presented; and E am that marked copies of the Journal In question were placed on the deak of each mem ber.' It to not my intention to argue here In favor of dther aide of the particular contoovemy which baa called forth' the expression of opinion. My purpose is to Show the Jattacyof tke - idea; on which thd memorial to based! and as the principle Involved to one having an important bearing on the public-good, I ShaS oak or yon the favor of a P, TS 1 tot , prop(Mltion.to be laid down * to’ this:? That the CUy Government shpnld, In lt» action, endeavor to be gnlded by the same principles as those which govern the mdlvldual, in his bnsiness I presume, there will.'be found no disagreement; It to a self evident Btatement Now the lDdlvidnal to generally gnlded by seif interest. That to to say, where he can bay to toe test advantage, he bnye; and to Itoo manner ne sells. Where he cab sell to the best advantage. Bat it does not follow that it - is' always to fits advantage to tpv the, cheapest article (supposing’ other things eqtfal). If he Is a manufacturer, itor example, It may be, and frequently to,■ to hto ad vantage to make the article to question,, if .within bis specialty, rather than to buy it, even for lets money, than it will„ cost. torn; one. reason for which .be that by o shine It himself he could retain certain skilled labor which ho would otherwise losefor the waot of sufficient work. Another reason might he that oy purchasing the cheaper article from another to the trade,he would introduce toto hie own factory wbat would prove an advertising card for a rival house. Another reason, that the more work ho does at fate Own factory the cheaper he can do it, by reason of the greater experience thus obtained by bis workmen. -A case in illustration of tins might easily be given. Suppose two rival estab lishments tor the production of tools of- any'de scription, equally celebrated tor the quality of then work—suppose one of them,. desiring .to; “build additional works, should fina It possible to obtain the required tools at his neighbors estab lishment, or,. or fais neighbor’s .make, tor ; Iras money than be was able to make thom ; for; do 3 ou suppose he would not prefer to make ■ them bimEClt? r ;Tt wonld evidently ie to his interest to> bhy (or make) the dearest.; ■ '->t •:- - ' Now apply this princip’e to the oiso of a city government giving: ..oat -wo'rk;:« lt>-to ss a' general thing to the interest of"’ the city. If it. be ■ place eminent -for Us tuuonfac lures, and-dependent on them for its ‘ lirosperity, togive ontlts Work to its men manu facturers, even, at a bigherpricc than the same ;work can be obtatoed for efecwhcie. - Beeause, by so doing. Its own manufacturcra are, built up. Ail the money paid ont to those manufacturers goes to 'its own citizens who are operatives, and by them to disseminated throughout the com munity, or , it. to invested forthemosft-pirt in IPproyements,etc.;.tending toi ctease of the euy. Again, by thtocouree.the best workmen are retained l in the city,or the-tendenqy ■ is in that direction. Again, those ;whp vMt the city ondtseo its public works are induced, when ordering similar work, to order it there, if the places Si which, thqy reside? do, no t the tactiities for making Such Work themselves. Evidently tho city government, of a place like PhUadelphia,emlnently bom- oF.auxu fact-cues, should act for the" benefit of the whole commu nity. The first cost may be» secondary cpnsldor atlon, when It becojncaaiquestion whether work of a kind for which the city has made Its name famous stall bo obtained..elsewhere. Of course there tpaj also be cases where-the superior ex cellence if the article, ol- a vast difference ha price in f vor of another city, may jnakelt tnthe. advantage of the city to order there. But these exceptions do not alter the general rule laid, down, pr.dedncible from *v?fcat That uhlesß there are BtroDg reasons to the con trary, the municipal vsork should be done oy Us oum artisans. * Pro Bono Pobuco.

For several days to wards theclose of,the month of September, the Czar had been growing more and more impatient,for tidings.

Decision of the Supreme Court THE ACT HNOOMSTITHTIOHAIi Supreme Coobt— Chief Justice Thompson, and Justice# Strong, Read, Agnew and Shore* Pursuant to adjournment in theearly part of last month, the Court sat this morning In order to decide the many cases'argued before them during the last days of their sitting, and to clear up the business generally before entering Into the regular summer vacation. : Upon the opening of the Court the Chief Justice refused to near any application, but proceeded at once to deliver tho opinion of the Court in ■ - THE UEGISTBVIAW CASE. . , : / 'Page etuh vs. Allen et al,, and Robb et aL vs. Barton etaL -In equity, at Nisi Frias: The flret ofthesobUlsvras filed by the plaintiffs, residents, taxpayers and qualified voters of this city,against the defendants, the Aldermen of the city/ to ro strain them from exerdslug certain powers -ana authority In their aggregate capacity, which, it is alleged, they claim to be conferred/ upon them by the provisions of an act of Assembly, passed; April 4,1868, entitled “A farther .supplement to the act relating to tho elections of the,Common wealth,” and from appointing or at tempting to appoint canvassers. as directed in add by toe said act, or from Interfering or inter meddling with, or obstructing, or attempting to Obstruct the qualified voters of this Common wealth by any act or means whatever from toe enjoyment of toe rights of electors secured to them by toe constitution of the Commonwealth. The second bill is to toe same effect by parties possessing like qualifications,' and including as deiendonts the members of too Select and Com mon Councils of the city, the City Commission ers, Controllers, and Treasurer of toe city, as well as toe Aldermen. _ These bills question the constitutionality of too act of Assembly referred to, and familiarly known as toe “Registry act/ and charge, among other matters, that a large sum of money will be re quired from the city treasury to put toe act into operation, which, os taxpayers, they are interest ed to prevent, and which would be Wholly misap plied, toe act being, as they allege, nnconstitu tionai and void. The right of toe plaintiffs to ln \erfere on these grounds was. not disputed, nei ther do I think it could have been since tho deci sion in Sheipleys vs. the Mayor, &c., 9 Bar. H 7, and Morris vs. The City of Reading, 9 lb. 188. In both it was conceded that toe interest of a tax payer, where money was to be raised by taxa tion, or expended from the treasury, was suffi cient to entitle him to proceed in equity to tpst tho validity of toe law which proposed the as sessment or expenditure. To this effeotis Mitt vs. toe Reading Railroad Company. That we have power to enjoin too respondents has not been disputed. The ca6S of K<a» vs. Tioga 11 Wr. 202; Irving vs. Thompson, tb. 379, if au thority were wanting, would ba sufficient for The power of thls'Uonrt and Its doty to declare an act-of Assembly unconstitutional, If It be plainly so. ls no more to be doubted, than Its power, to declare an instrument of writing void for want of due execution: This power .is not. disputed. What shall be. the' test , .pf want . of . ednstithtional sanction’ is’ a question of, more or,, less difficulty in all cases involving it. It Is usual on the part of thd3d yyhoi; insist’pn the constitutionality of any given' statute to claim that it must bo- regarded aO cotatitutlopw ,un ices espfcssly prohibllcd bj' epme prevision ip. the Constitution. In other words, ln-constru ing the Constitution of the 1 State, whatever Is not expressiv denied to the legislative power is possessed by it. The opposite of.this rule, I may remark, lathe rule ofcons traction'of thoFcdornl Constitution. I assent to this; but not that the inhibitions of the Constitution, must be always expressed. They are equally effective/and not ■ lesa to he regarded when they arise by necessity, and this is the case when the legislative provi sion is repugnant to some provision of the Con stitntion. 9 Watts, 200; lW- & G., 423; 12 S. & H., 3’ Casey, 444; 5 Wr., 403. . To illus trate this idea: - The executive power of the State wider the Constitution is lodged in a Governor, and the legislative in a Senate and House of Bepresentativcs. It would be mam festlv repugnant to these provisions of the Con stitution if an act of Assembly should provide for the election of two executives, or two Senates and Houses of Bepresentatives at the same elec tion, yet it would be unconstitutional only by implication, there being no express pro hibition oh the subject. So in regard to, qualifications for office. An act which should require a residence in the State for ten years instead of' three, or an age of fifty years or free hold estate, in order to be eligible to toe office of representative, would be void for repugnancy; because differing from the Constitution, and would be so only by necessary implica tion, necessary to keep legislation, within the paramount rales ol the Consti tution. The expression of one thing in the Constitution is necessarily the exclusion of things expressed. This I regard as especially, true of constitutional provisions declaratory in their nature. The remark of Lord Bacon that, as exceptions strengthen the force of a general law, so enumeration weakens aa to things not enumer ated, expresses a principle of common low appli cable to the Constitution, which is to.be under stood in its plain, nntechnical Bense, Common wealth vs. Clark, fr. G. & W., 127. TheßO instances illustrate the principle of the authorities, which hold that acts repugnant to the cohstitnlioii are void by Implication, and at the same time they also illustrate the inquiry in the case in hand, whether this act is constitu lloln°artlcle HI, section 1, the constitution de clares, “In elections by the citizens, every white freeman of the age of twenty-one years, having resided in this State one. year, and la toe election distrlct where he offers to vote ten days immediately preceding such election, and within two years paid a State Or county tax, which shall have’ been' assessed at least ten days before the, election, shall enjoy toe rights Of an elector; but a citizen of toe United States who had previously been a qualified voter of this State, and removed therefrom and retnrned,. and who shall .have, resided in the election district and pay. taxes as aforesaid shall bo ehtitled to vote alter residing in ■ tod State six months- Provided.
