Proceedings in tbe Common Pleas. Judges Allison, I.udlow, Peirce anil Pax son were in the court at 10 o’clock, hut owing to the proceedings in the Xisi Prius referred to above, no counsel were present until about twenty minutes after 10 o’clock. Mr. Biddle and Sir. IJagert then appeared with Sir. Shen pard. “ Sir. Biddle—May it please your honors, I am ready to prtjpeed with the argument in tho District-Attorney’s case. This uiominir au application was made to the Nisi Prius for an injunction in the case. It was granted with .our argument, althougli we were . ready to .proceed. But no writ has yet heen issued, and I ask-this Court to go on now with the hearing until stopped by an injunction. .1 udge Allisoil—Who aro the' counsel for Mr, Gibbons'’ .Mr. Biddle—i do not know who tbevare in this ease. Sir. McMurtrie aud Mr. Meredith represented him this morning in the Nisi Prius. Judge Allison—LAre they there now? Sir. Biddle—They were there a few minutes ago. Judge Allison then directed an oflicer of the Court to go tor tho counsel. In a low minutes Mr. Mol!urtric appeared. 'Judge Allison—An application is made for a hearing in tho District-Attorney’s case. Mr. McMurtrie—Well, sir, an injunction lias been ordered by the Supreme Court re straining a further hearing in the case. The liond has been drawn Dp and the writ will is sue as soon as it can be, written. The motion tor the injunction will be argued on Mouilav. Judge Allison—What is the bill? Mr. McMnrtrie—To prevent any further in terference with the decision of this court. Judge Allison—Does it restrain this court" Mr. Biddle—lt does in effect. Mr. McMurv irie is mistaken, unintentionally, in saying that the injunction was granted this morning by tlie .Supreme Court. We went in to argue this motion. A judge, and not the Supremo • Court, declined to hear the argument, although we were ready to go on; and he issued the in junction. i ! Hr. McM urtric—lf a judge does not make a court, I don’t know what. does. • Biddle—Well, I am ready, in answer to tho mandate of this Court, ordering me to he here at 10 o’clock, to go on with this case. So far as I know,no process has issued out of any Court interfering with my client’s rights to be here to-day. ' , Mr. MoMtirtrie—Even aftor notice of a no tion forau liijunction, any proceeding whioh the injunction is intended* to stop, tf- tlie in jnnetton- is ultimately granted*,is. stopped. Mr. BWdle—We Understand, that, and are ••■wilhnjr to take our cMiice*. ■ M . r VMcMurtfie— l f the .writ is ordered it would be the merest jest in the world in ' the delay occasioned by the writing of-’the J wri}, to go on as if no writ had been Issued ,I do hot desire to have anything done whioh would boamatter of ridiculousness.. If this in junction is net granted, a cause whieli ■ bus kept fortiVp ycui's wUI-keop for two dhvs. If it is granted, this Court would not like to „. a 7fu ‘5? appearance of struggling with another Court upon the question of proceod l?FvP V lO case i and it must bo remembered that judgment here is the judgment of the Supreme Court. -Jt is not the judgment of this Court. When the Supreme Court affirmed your judgment it became their judgment, not rH i ‘bis man holds his place by virtue <nt/ial judgment as well as'your own; but the judgment affirmed in the Supreme Court is and essentially their judgment, with which you have nothing more to do than any other Court has. The bupreme Court are not even required to send their judgment to you when it requires execution. They can execute as an original judgment. I suppose thoy did that because of the difficulty of making infe rior courts enforce the judgment. But the question now. is whether it would be decorous, HupposiDg this to be wrong, as it could be— whether it would be reasonable to require tur to proceed with the argument of a case which, has been alreadv heard. „ d t e th fu co ? oluii ‘® n 1 of Mr. McMurtrie’s re- Uj.irkHs tbe four. Judges consulted together,- aim the determination was announced as follows by Judge Ailison: From the infcrma- i ion just communicated, I need not Bay that myself and brethren are surprised: and we have come to this conclusion : Inasmuch as we are informed that a Judge of the Supreme C ourt—if r understand the application—a "P° n ,he Presentation of a b»li, granted a preliminaryinjanc tion, and fixed an early day next week for hearing an argument upon that question—out ?L„! eSp ? C Vu Hll F p, y t 0 th e action of a .Judge of the Supreme Court, we think we ought not to proceed to-day to. hear the argument which we came prepared to hear according to our appointment. Fry looking at this bill, we notice that the court is Xt J? Char,e » Gibbons, plaintifiT, and Furman Sheppard, defendant, although the prayer of the bill looks to obi taming from the Supreme Court an opinion i h f e J, U ? gl F®? t of * his court. As to the their judgment upon our decision, tula cq,nrt is thereupon not a party to the pro eeedmgs., The injunction .could uot restrain 1‘ ‘o be its duty to proceed eTen at this time, because the injunction !:^ 8 l f 0 M eiat :« *° Furman Shep pard, to restrain him from proceeding before the court. At the same time we cannot close our eyes to the fact that the result sought to be reached is to obtain an opinion from the hu J )r ? me Gourt upon the question as to whether this court has or has not the right to proceed and determine this case as we con sider it standing before us. We shall not do anything hasty, or what would seem to be wanting in respect to the Bupreme Court; and wo will suspend for to-day our action upon this application. r I desire to say this, however, that in a casa which was, heard some years age before Judge Thompson—Mann vs. Cassidy—they were the claimants to the office—they aDDeued at the bar of this Court and withdrewS the further conduct of that case, either by war of making out the allegations in the petition or by way of giving further evidence in reply to the allegations m the bill. We then said? so tar as ther were concerned, the case was at ' d P, end. T b© Court, however, did not con sider that a determination,of the question. On the contrary we came to the conclusion that that case having been properly brought into ‘ ou . rt ’ ‘bat tbe requisites of the act or Assem j/Jy bad been compiled with and thejjurisdic rionof the Cpurt having attached, it became -in the nature of a public-inquiry, and that it was still in the hands of the Court. The in junction was that the Court should “ proceed to inquire whether there had been au undue (■lection or false return.” From that point on the Court tootc up the case, considered it upon the evidence, arrived at a conclusion, decided the question which was raised by the pe tition. Therefore,while we do not desire now ha T w bat our final action would be it the Bupreme Court should grant this in junction [■ against Mr. Sheppard, yet with the precedent which that case aflords to us— which, unless wo change, our views, is to us tbe law, the Court reserves to itself the ri<»ht to determine what it would feel bound to do even if the injunction shonid be granted even tually. We don’t say now that we will pro ceedqo determine, but reserve to ourselves the light to decide that case if the necessity should arise. In regard to the effect of the judgment of the Supreme Court we say this: ,P roce^l. ln B 8 >n this ease were certi t,r°lT' th > B < onrt to the Supremo Court, and that shows there was pending and un determined a question of fact upon the evi (lence vet undecided. I remarked the other I w we did not proceed with Ivfis "L';!' * lf - ? as ’ fiwt.fihe fact that the unt of certiorari had taken it out of this .Court, and we were in doubt whether to pro ceed : and, second, because there was a ques » ho decided by the Supreme Court, and if decided contrary to our opinion, this application would tall, and P there wouid be no necessity for deciding it. W e thought the question of our right i OUt KP tre P rec incts would he dis posed and possibly relieve us of the duty of hearing thin particular application. If the ■ upreine Court had determined •adverse to us on that point, the cause would have come back to us to have the precincts purged, and this would have altered the position of the case materially. lor that reason we sus ,u?7mv?FVnd^ oll ii ,, J? on tllat application; but this fact must not be forgotten—When these proceedings were certified to the Supreme Court, part of the record that went up was the petition and the answer, and tho undetermined question. The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of this Court, i eft ‘bis Court the ques tion of tacf raised by this amended petition ?)“„ d a M WCr ' to . be deoided. We think, too, that this principle has been recently affirmed in the Supreme Court, in Harper's estate. That was a case where there was a decision upon the law ami the facts. And there was an appeal to us to review certain errors, and the bupreme Court held that we had the power to correet errors apart from that decision. When this case was presented to the Supreme Court there was a question yet to he decided, to that the pnneiple in Harper s Estate whioh would; enable ns to go on even if this petition and answer were not In the case at all. For the present we will postpone the argu ment, and will be ready to come in immedi ately alter tho dtemion of the Supreme Court and fix an early day to go on with this case it the way should be open to ns. —Here is the style in which the Texas Jtmjileciite announces amusements: “Circuses • lr «. t'lJjAf r in Texas now than tiddlers are in hell.

Eroning Bnlloti. 1 , I{o JIE < Ita| y. Feb. 20.—One of the most in teresting things to do in Rome is to make a> vwit to the Vatican sculpture galleries br torchlight. The usual manner of going fo tO’ put your name down on a list at Piale’s—the reading-room and book store at the corner' of the Babuino and Piazza dl Spagna. When twelve or thirteen names are received, tho proper authorities appoint"an evening, and tho company is taken through the galleries, ac companied by a guard of four or six Swiso soldiers, the torch-bearer, two or thrao attendants, with lanterns, and a man who seems to be the director of the aftair. Tho expense to each one is ten francs, and it is tho perquisite of the Swiss Guards. This is a verr pleasant way of doing it. But the most agreeable is to>ake the ac quaintance of Mr. Shakespeare Wood—an' Rnglish sculptor in Rome, .Honorary Secre tary of the British Archeological Society of thio city-and manage to join oneof his parties. This gentleman delivered, last year, a leoturo Societyprevious to:. Visiting the Vatican by torchlight. Tho lecture was so useful,as well as interesting, that Mr. Wood was requested to publish it. Spit-’ h<ever and all the booksellers in Rome have it for sale. It is a small pamphlet, and I would advice every one who visits the Vatican, by day or night to have one of these lectures with them; it will be a most useful guide. Mr. Wood is preparing a capital catalogue of the Vatican Galleries, for the use of the Archrcoiogical Society. If he ever has time to finish it—for it seems an endless task—lt will he invaluable. He kindly, offored, this autumn, to lend me the MS., as far as ha has gone with the work, and my studies in the galleries have thus been greatly benefited as well as facilitated. For one must study to fully comprehend the intention of an art-creation. There is a certain pleasure you have when you see a beautiful statue, or painting, or building, but there is a great difference between this sort of uneducated pleasure and an intelligent under- There are many things relating to an artwo’rk necessary to be known ; not only . the intention of the artist, the meaning of ‘tho attributes, or the symbolism, but also the num berless traditions accompanying every crea tion. A careful reading of critical and histori cal works, and association with intelligent, generous-minded artists, go a great way; bnt. there is nothing like taking, your studies into the presence of the vory works. I often fill. a Viennese bag with books,take a camp-stool, j many times,like Dominie Sampson, put two or threo more books under my arm, getr into>a . Piazza “ trap,” drive to the Vatican, or Capi tol or Lateran Museums by 10 o’clock in the , morning, and stay in the galleries until; the custodians inform me that it is three o’clock and I must go. I select some espeoiaj - statues or busts, sit down in front of them, and read in their presence what Ampere, and Brauu, and Winckleman, and a dozen others, say about them. Ampere is delightful. There is no such other book that I have been able to find as useful as his works on Rome for just' this especial purpose of studying Roman arfc history of all kinds. He illustrates his history by recalling the various busts and statues as well as the buildings and ruins in Rome. I often „ wish an edition of Ampere could be published with actual illustrations accompanying the text. This agreeable writer spent ten years in Rome, laboring at his work with conscience and love. He was. intimato with our great Crawford, who lived then attho Villa Negroni, near the railway station (which station wan 1 L~ not there in those days),and rightiu the centre of the Baths of Diocletian and the walls of S'ervius Tullius. Crawford’s wife has often spoken to me of Ampere’s visits and convex-. . satiolis with her husband. Think of being able to say you had heard Ampere and Craw ford talk familiarly together over Roman raiu«. and ancient sculpture ! \ But I am going away from the torchlight party, and that is what I wish to say a few words about. Mr. Wood kindly consented this autumn to help memake'up a party and to accompany us. Take the advlco of experi ence; however, and never make yourself re sponsible for other persons in'such an expe dition—or any expedition, for that matter. When the evening was decided upon by the authorities, am*l received the notioe of time and place of meeting, six out of the seven members of my share of the party foil out f I was the, forlorn hope, the luckless represen tative of seventy franes! But fortune, favors the brave. Miss Mer rick, of Philadelphia, took three ot the tickets for herself and friends; two of the recreant ones rallied at the last moment, and oauie up to time, and only one proved utterly faithless. It was a charming and successful evening. • Mr. Wood’s intelligent remarks were marlein such a conversational way as to put us per fectly at our ease, and also draw ,us outaud encourage us to give our own views. The gpj deries arc not illuminated, ns many think.. Besides tho little lanterns there is but one . torch- a collection oftwelve or fifteen long can dles, fastened together, and inclosed ina largo, ~.. strong reflector. This torch was placed ontha end of a long pole, and Mr. Wood directed the , , . light as it ought to fall. The statues ! are ar ranged more for architectural etteot, than tor . art study ; therefore, it is difficult to examine some of tho best works accurately by day light. The statue of Augustus, wniefi was found in the ruins of Livia’s villa, at Prima Porto in , 1807—the finest portrait-statue in oxistouco— loses one half of its beauties in the ordinary light of day. The full Jilaze of the torch thrown V , properly upon it shows/ its careful modelling and Execution, ; tbe details of the fine accessor can ho seep, also the basso relievos ,on tba cuirass,which, are finished almost like cameos.
