Werewe eo to bold, and it wore possible to sustain the balance ,of iLe act, It would leave ;1# force the repealing clause which repeals all laws -in* consistent with the act, and thus Philadelphia, wonld be without election laws, and her citizens' disfranchised. This wo cannot do. It must ex ist as an entirety or not at aIL Indeed, inde pendently of this consideration, the same objec tion exists to the proof necessary to be made in order to registration in other portions of the Bute, where the names are, omitted from the primary, lists of the assessors, and application is made to be registered, ‘hat exists In the 14th sec tion, applicable to Philadelphia, to which we have referred at length. This dearly appears In the second and third provisos to tne third sec- lion of the act. „ , , , , 1 admit that unwise, and even unfair legisla tion, If such a thing could be Imputed to any act of the Legislature, Is not necessarily void, yet peculiarities In legislation may be a reason for careful investigation. In examining the act .In question I could not but remark that although It abounds in penalties, especially In that portion applicable to the city against violations Of Its provisions by voters, witnesses and_ election officers, yet there are none denounced against Boards of Canvassers for wrongfully refusing to register a voter who may have met every requisi tion In order to entitle him to bo registered. ■ His security the act assumes to bo in the oath of the Individuals composing the Boart. . , This ought to he sufficient. But the attempted change ofthe election laws has its strongest If not only reason in the assumption, in in stances no dopbt just, that official oaths have, been insufficient, under existing laws, to guard against cheating and frauds in elections. . What reason there is to expect that they would be better observed under the new law is not appa rent. No higher qualification for tho-officeof Canvasser is required than .for a judge, or in spector of-an election board. The same results may thercfOre bo as reasonably anticlpatedln the one case as In the other. . The. securing of fairness is tot . imposed in the provisions on the subject, most certalidy. , ' v; - But I will not follow this train of thought far ,tber. I agree that If la always a gravomatter-to ■ ' set aside an act of the legislature, and I doubt if there is any Instance yet having been done-where tho people have asked by petition for legislation. 1 They oro careful of their constitutional rights. In case In hand, which is an act of the r greatest public consequeifce. the Daily Legislative Retard, an official publication of the legislative proceed ings, gives no account of petitions of the people - for tne great change of law. attempted,. or so far as the city is concerned, that the act was the work of any, committee; but It does sboW that the provisions to it wore vir tually the work of a single member, and presented to the House in rimnuscrint, and without , having been printed.passed, the House without debate. In this shape it went to tho Senate, where it was almost immediately agreed to without the allow ance of debate or printing. This may well ac count for the Incongruous and unconstitutional features of the act. Theso facts, however, have hod no' Weight whatever in producing the result at which we have arrived. They might well stimulate the activity ojafio scrutiny exercised in examining tho prov&lfflffs of the act, bnt they had to othef effect I nave not specially noticed tho citation of authorities by the counsel for respondents to prove that registration lawbhave been held con stitutional by the Courts of other .States. This might be owing to the peculiarities ofi the oonsti tntlonal provisions of those Statesj'bnt. another reason exists for not noticing them. We do not mean at this moment to, deciao that no.constitu - tional registration law can be enacted, ;. For, my-; si if x think thero might be, and possibly iu such form as to protect the.rights of ail legal voters, and secure tho people, to some extent at least, against the possibility of fraud atthe ballot box. , 'Be tbiß however as it may be, we are not ready, to osent to the act In question as.of this character or within the power qi'.tho acglßlatnretp'pass. Tlils conclusion leaves all tho election laws m .force which were intended to be superceded bv this act. These provisions are well understood.. They have been in operation many years, with but compari-. lively few complaints, not resulting from thalaws themselves Bomuch nsfromtho want'of .rigiisnce, 4b administering them. This the pemdtiesibf, thb "law showed remedy.' Elections undorlhese laws, ' will therefore imposo nojbardshlp or dp any wrong to the people if conducted, as the .law requires, nr d it Is In this spirit we ought toexpect them to be conducted. Eor these, and. other reasons, which might be given; a majority • .ot.us' think that the injunction prayed tor in each of tho bills lit granted on the complainants, each entering, bail in the sum of $l,OOO, to be approved by the court or a judge thereof. -• Judges Bead and Agnew read dissenting °*Oykb add Tersiinke— Judges .Ludlow .and, Brewster.—ln the case of Hester Vaughan,, charged with the murder of' her babe, ;the; jury rendered a verdict of guilty of murder In the first dCRfCOt • ■ This morning the case of-Albert Alexander, colored; charged with the murder of , PhlUls Proctor, on the 28th of Ocfober, 18C7, came up.
