COURT ALL DEMOCRATS BUT FOX DISTRICT ATTORNEY SHEPPARD CITY SOLICITOR BARGER ritOTHONOTARY FLETCHER. fiEVEIVEIV OF TAXES MELLOY CITY COMMISSIONER WEAVER CITY CONTROLLER GETZ COMMON PLEas—Judges Allison, Ludlow, Peirce and Brewster ---This morning, a few minutes after, ten. o'clock, it became known among interested parties, as well as outsiders, that the decisien in the Contested Election case was to •be rendered at twelve o'clock. The news created great excitement, both parties discussing the probabilities, and giving and receiving opinions as to. the final determination of the Court. Long before the hour ' , fixed for the delivering ofl-the opinion, the Common Pleas Court-room was. crowded with those who felt a direct or indi-• rect interest in the decision. At"noon every inch of space was occupied, and it required the full corps .of tipstaves drawn from the Quarter Sessios to preserve order in the crowd; filled •as • it was, :With scarcely , suppressed excitement. • Members of the bar and even the counsel engaged in the case, found difficulty 'in obtarung admission and accommodations within the bar. At ten minutes past twelve o'clock, all the Judges being present, Judge Brewster, on behalf of the majority of the court, pro ceeded to read the opinion. Be opened with the statement that con tested election cases-are not favored . by the court and never - welcomed. The English judges regard with disfavor thejunsdic tion in these cases, and our predecessors _ have held the parties to strict rules in the pre sentation of their uses and in the determma itrn -of - the contest. He - reviewed the cases establishing this fact, that the judiciary is un willing to be made the arbiters in such con tests. Any other rule would make the courts the tribunal to determine every, election held in this country. Units acts of Assembly re , lieve itsi or the people make a better choice, the courts will be inundated by these cases year after year. We have before us a petition contesting the title of seven officers. To each of these an answer has been filed:- The petitions charge an undue election and-false return; while the answer denies all these allegations. The con testants ask us to exclude the votes in the seventh division of the Third Ward; the sixth, seventh, eighth, •of the Fourth Ward: the sixth and seventh of the Seventeenth Ward; fourth of the Twenty-Sfth Ward; and that the last three hours be excluded from the eighth, division,of the Ninth Ward, and a recount. of the votes of the sixteenth division or the Twentieth Ward. • There is a difference between the District Attorney and the municipal officers, different acts of Assembly giving us jurisdiction. It is insisted that there is no power to reject a di vision. That the Court has power to throw out a return cannot be doubted. The respond ents admit this power by asking- us to exclude forty-two returns for as many different divis ions. We regitrd the power to throw out a•re turn as existing in a, proper case. When shall a division be thrown out? The Judge re viewed the decisions in the past,indicating.that the Court had the right to exclude precincts, including his own of last year, that impossi bility of reaching a result, is to be the test for excluding the poll. It matters not what has produced the mischief. Can we reach cer tainty by an examination? Take the seventh division of the Third Ward, where, it is charged, the officers wilfully disregarded the law. A careful examination shows that. one tenth of the votes were false and one-third of the votes were destroyed. The raisin:. cation of • the list of taxables here is a peculiarity in • this case. Il ence the impossibility of purging this poll. The record is left in such a condition that the ;Ali eers cannot blame any man for saying, that it is impossible to ascertain the true vote. In, addition to - this there was indecent haste in the reception of votes, andV the reception of votes of persons froth abroad, and from these facts some idea may be formed of the illegality in this division. I have endeavored to discover , some mode of ascertaining the vote, but without effect. .By reason of the frauds in - this division, we must reject the division. x'1,124,797 27 The next division is the sixth division of the Fourth Ward. Upwards of 200 votes were received before the assessment list was pro duced.- Challenges were disregarded, and a gang of strangers voted, anti persons who en deavored to interfere were threatened with personal violence; there were false persona nous and parties voted on the names of the ' doad. In answer to this the witness for the respondent Was not asked material questions, whether these frauds were perpetrated. We find here uneontradicted evidence of fraud, and evidence_ofa_designto overthrow the legal votes by force and we therefore alcluee (l e is Next we take the seventh and 'eighth divi sions of the Fourth Ward. hero there is evi dence of fraud ; bummers, sin:whops° residents and strangers were allowed to vote. Respectable citizens' Were driven, away from the polls. Gentlemetio belonging ,to the Denioe,ratic party were losocked down because they proposed to.vouch forpoliticalopponeuni. Frauds on the records ' , frauds outside, and frauds inside are uncontradicted. No one can attempt to separate the good from the evil in this precinct. A few honest votes in these boxes are so covered up with fraudulent votes that it is imjpossible to detect them, and this division is iiierVbrE excluded. In the eighth, division of the Ninth Ward a gross fraud was committed. A gang of men openly agreed to personate others. The con-, testants,ask the last three hours to be ex cluded, and after an examination we give the contestants 45 votes. The remaining precincts may be speedily disposed of. In the sixth of the Seventeenth Ward the list of taxables has disappeared, and one hundred oaths disre garded by the officers, and these cases show the officers to be liable to penalties of not less than $lO,OOO, and there was a total disregard of the law. Gentlemen were personated and violence was inflicted upon parties who attempted to vote. In the disregard of the law and ou the OUR WHOilik COUPI9I,IXY. EXTRA. THROWN OUT. suppression ,of e book we do find' that which requires our condemnation. In the Seventh , Division of the Seventeenth Ward , there were also frauds. Votes were received by the.otticer, of men known by him to have removed and who were personated <by stringers. Persons are marked: as voted who did not vote; in the Fourth Division of the -- Twenty-fifth Ward naturalized citizens were receiied without. requiring cortiticates. Judge Pared thinks challenges were received In these three pellS, and that the three should be purged but not excluded. Judge Allison thinks idt t fririnthat they.should be excluded; In the tenth diviaion of the - Twentieth 'W.aid it is contended that there was , a'falsification of the return - and that the bontestuits did not re ceive return, the votes polled,and that the recount shows this fact. In this ' division a fraud was committed. and we order the return is be , amended in accordance with, the. facts. The boxes in which the recount Vras made 'hive been under seal, and the possibility of tam-, pering ,Vrith.them has been avoided., In excluding precincts we do not disfran . . . . .• _ owe this to the fact that -the servanta of the people have acted fraudulently. -"The rented* of the legal voter is in coming forward and proving,lns. vote. It is, .for . . - the • purpoee of p_rotetting' the legal voter ' that we reject the division. We teach fraud and 'violence that.they cannot. Succeed, and "spay lose. When We do that we may hope to es tablislean honesVelection. These frauds have continued to such an extentna to affect the elections for years, and when these frauds are rattltiplied year after-year the colitis must grow - intolerant. We do not set up a new rule; our decision is consistent with' previous opin ions. Inforiner cases there were not proven the same gross frauds, or where it 'was Shown-, it was'met by Counter proof. • • ' ^ ` Here the allegations are sustained,- and , the .record is left with nothing but itself as its parallel. Our predecessors never,aaserted-that. frauds - could be excused upon the grounds 'Aimed by the respondents. It has been held in for Mer eases that. frauds may , 'nullify:the re-4 7 , turns of the election officers. It ' may be Con sidered established that a prohibitory -act : as sociated with a penalty cannot, be •, considered merely .directory. It_ is'repugnant to common, sense to assert that all the provisions of the election law can be "disregardedwith imnUnitY. • -It would seem that no direct appeal can any longer be advanced. as a defende for election officers. Nor can the agreement of election' officers of both parties be considered an ex cuse for a disregard of the law.: A national election ' may depend upon the observance of these provisions, and we cannot, recognize the right of parties to refuse to obey the law. ' The respondents ask us to exclude ;the se-. cond and tenth divisions of the First Ward and the tenth of the Nineteenth " Ward. In the second and tenth divisions of the. First -Ward there were great fronds, in violence, in, false personation -and the reception of the, votes of strangers. We find the fact that un offending citizens were shot at, beaten and. driven away, in. order to prevent them from exercising the rights of a citizen. '-TheJudget • quoted the evidence in' support of', the, alle_gations of fraud here. We have: 'io hesitation in denouncing those frauds, and'- also in condemning the police, whose duty it was to protect citizens. We therefore exclude the poll after the - hour when these ampler's occurred. • In regard to the fourth division of the Seventh Ward, eighth of the Ninth, third of the Eighteenth, and seventh of the Third Ward,the-Court did not think there - was -suf-;Th ticient evidence to reject the precincts. The difficulty in the.• tenth division. of the Nineteenth Ward, groWirig out of the divi sion of ' the precinct into two (fourteenth and tenth), was referred , to, and the court held that there was no evidences of fraud, and with the exception Of the attack upon Mr. Hosper, there was no violence. To reject a poll because of an assault andhattery, would be going beyond our power. The respondents ask the court to reject thirty-nine precincts because of the -rejection of naturalization 'certificates. A large num ber of witnesses were examined and thirty six persons testified that they could have voted for the incumbents. These ought to be - counted for them. We cannot credit them with the 300 claimed, as the certificates have not been produced in order to show that they were genuine. Nor is there any proof that these people would have voted for any particular candidate, and we cannot decide the ease upon guesses. It is claimed that i';'2 votes should be ex cluded because of the reception of that num ber of persons holding fraudulent naturaliza tion esrtificates, and as the,. proof is made out we think the incumbents should receive credit for that number. The result of the recount gives Mr. Fox a majority of 1 - W, while all the `Republican can didates are declared elected. Mr. Gibbon's majority of CS is the lowest on the hit. JUDGE PEIRCE. Judge Peirce-1 do not assent that where a poll is thrown out par fraud, the vote legally cast can be proved. The taint of fraud, where so general as to render uncertain the will of the t•lectors, vitiates the whole poll, and in the language of the law, there- Is .an undue election. Topursueany other course would be to Offer a premium to fraud and give to the perpetra tors a possibility of having the advantage of their fraud. whilst in no possibility could they sutler troth it. I admit that this doctrine is an advance be yond the opinion entertsued by me last year, to which I have been brought by an increased observation of.the effect of these frauds upon the elective franchise as illustrated by the election frauds of last year. ..7IIDC;E 7:11.11t0117. judge LudlOvi delivered a dissenting opin ion, holding that no court, except one, had ever thrown out the votes of honest voters, where it resulted in the exclusion of.' the can didates returned as elected. The count has no right to exclude legal voters in any poll unless it is impossible - to ascertain them. At great length be distnssed the question of rejection• of the naturalization certificates, holding that the court shOuld have ascertained the number of these. He was in favor of sending the 'case back to, the. ExaMiner to ascertain the number of legal voters„ in the attacked pre cincts and thus deeidethe case upon its merits.

Weitzel, a watchmaker by trade, a man of great ingenuity and inventive genius. Hav -14 a great admiration for Gen. Washington, he constrpeted a ' -watch with peculiar care, which, having placed in a valuable gold case,' he presentedto Gen. Washington,with instruc tons to present it to •any man , he Might lind. who deserved more of the American people than himself.' The General carried the watch until the eflarts of Gen.Lafayettehadimpressed him with the value and distinguished charac ter 'of the man, and; believing that he , had found the man, designated by Weitzelin his instructions, he compelled Lafayette to accept it.' Lafayette carded. the watch until his re turn to this country, in' 1825; *ben; as the guest of a grateful free people, he made a tour 'through the country, receiving .,: everywhere the plaudits and welcome of a people of whose history •he had written , ' the brightest - page. 'Whilp • pursuing- his triumphal journey he arrived at Nashville; and while at thatpity receiving -the congratu lations of the citizens of Tennessee, the watch was stolen. , Every effort possible was made to recover it; the papers throughout the whole conntry advertised it; large rewards were • of feted, and the detective officers in all the cities were on the alert to recover the watch. But in spite of all that was done at the time the Watch was not found, and in time the mat , ter was forgotten. Not many days since, in a, Wuttern city, a, ; watch exposed for sale in the window of a , pawnbroker; attracted 'much attention from ,people passing by its peculiar maketand•value. One day an old gentleman rmssingthe windows "saw the watch, and onlooking at it closely be caine satisfied that he knew something about it,'stipped lilt() the shop and .requested, the pawnbrokeutoLliAliria examine it. MU was readily granted: • I.,:ifter a' moment the old gentleman exclaimed, "This was Gen- . era] . Lafayette's watch,• proiented to • him by Gen. "Washitigton,and stolen frUm hint on his visit to this coanVy in 1825. I know it, from the description published at that time.' Thepawnbroker Was astonished to hear this and preoceeded at once to exculpate himself-by assuring the gentleman that he did not have the - slightest 'suspicion . that it -was stolen. property ; he had loaned some money,upon it to a young girl who was in great distres, and wild represented that it was a family relic which had been given her by her mother.-:The3 old " gentleman insisted that the girl should be produced ; he wanted to hear her story himself. He was much excited, and remarked that he was one of the Marshals that arranged the procession to receive the great guest on the day the watch was stolen, and his honor, as well as that or every man then living.in the nation, was involved. The pawnbroker said nothing was easier, as a girl, who danced at some place of entertainment, occupied a room in she next house, and it the gentleman would walk back and take a seat, he would send for the girl. The old gentleman tooli the prof fered seat, and in a few minutes the girl came in. She looked weak and feeble, though young, and when questioned about the watch did not evince the least Want of composure, but without hesitation pr_eceeded to give in answer to questions the following narrative: She was born among the mountains of:East Tennessee, and when she 'was about• eight years old her parents removed to • Memphis, where they remained ,three years ; then they went to St. Louis, where they lived until both her parents died—her father died first, and about one year after her mother died. The watch had ,been in thepossession of her father all her life ; she could rollect seeing it in her youth distinctly ; that her fatlter,when importuned to sell it by visitors, invariably resisted, saying that it had been in his familyq many years. he having recei''ed it ou the death of his father, with positive instructions not to sell or dispose of it, but to keep it in the family; her mother had charged her not to sell it, but • keep it. She, was then saving money to redeem the watch; would not have pawned it but a severe fit of sickness had re duced her to such straits that she was obliged to resort to the watch to raise money for ab solute necessaries to sustain life. The old gentleman heard the girl's story with aston ishment, and, being satisfied from her man- , ner that she told the truth, he felt convinced that the theft of the watch was still a mys tery—or, at least, it would be impossible after so many years to learn who committed the robbery. It is creating some excitement to know what disposition shall be made.of this inter esting r'relic, with, its singular history. To whom can it be given ? Who should properly be its custodian '? Is there any, heir of La fayette who can legally claim it ? 'Or should the United States Government come forward, pay charges, and place it in the Patent Offiee Museum wititother relies of the great men of a former generation ?

Knowing that the' massive letter vanst , be of importame from its crested seals and general official appearance, he despatched Mr.Wm.Post, chief clerk of the office in search of Herr Von Vechtor. 3fr.Post made diligent inquily of seVeral, but could not find any trace of the individaal wanted until he met with Mr. John Loos,the well-known saloon • keeper on the oast side of 'the square. Mr; Loos knew a Charley Vlchtev • he was work ing on - the new • hotel building, • and both walked over there where they found Vochter about to ascend a` 'kidder, with a hod on his shoulder. When Mr. Post handed him the letter and he had read it„ the delight of the hodman knew•no bounds. He threw his hod full .of' brick away and embraced Mr. Post, calling him his dearest friend. The letter con tained a draft for $7,600 on the First National - Bank of Chicago, and ho insisted on paying Mr. Post $6OO for 'being the bearer of Bach joyful tidings as the document cuntained, which, of bourse Mr. Post refused, In the year 186 Herr Von Yachter, being , then nineteen years old and of a noble family, entered the Austrian army as lieutenant, and through regular gradations in 1800 arrived at the rank of major., Inthe mouth of Elfsptetti.. bee of that year he was grossly Insulted at - a late° by the colonel of his regiment.'
