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

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.

after which, at an ardent encore, she obliged
the audience with her famous French laugh

was s'rapJy musical and mechani

grand trouble both with her and her little sis

I i.^ e ?? D 8? quartette flitter came out as a vo-'

f.ar,or compass. Herr Ritter’s

among all he did so well we would particular
°wn combination of Mendelssohn’s
liight .March”—the “ Yeloce,” in which ho
made the instrument hum with a sin-
I gular swarm of exquisite sounds,
completely conquering the disconnected
character of piano-music. This poetic
performance earned him an enthusiastic
encore. Prume, the French violinist, was
elegant and cultured as usual ; after las longest
effort of memory and execution, a fantaisie
from Vieuxtemps, he pleased the audience
immensely with a flowing eolto voce exercise
ot the violin, the gentleness of which re
quired and rewarded the utmost attention and
most complete silence from the house. Her
mann sang with equal dignity and good
nature, and met an encore with the beerSsong
from Martha; but his labor is now very
evident, and at times unpleasant. Mr. Henry
bqnires has a limpid tenor voice of great
sweetriess, and gave especial satisfaction in
his first ballad, “ Happy Thonghts.” The
molmc'e of the troupe on Saturday will doubt
lessly pack the Academy with a full audience
of amatears, intent on listening to the age's
most celebrated florid executant, and her
talented companions.

To those familiar with these delightfnl

fect justice was done to each item. Of course
the great attraction was the Schumann con
certo. Mr. Jarvis’s interpretation of which is
to be heartily commanded; the whole perfor
mance being one of his very best. It is a noble
I work replete with inspiration and abundantly
neh in great effect. Only an intellectual
j musician, like Robert Schumann, could have
enriched the world of art with a creation of
its immortal beauty. Mr. Guhlemann gave the
accompaniment with. exceeding care and.
praiseworthy precision, upon a second grand
piano, but, not to beoritical, fall justice to the
work, as well as to a performer of Mr. Jarvis’s
excellence, demands the orchestra. Would
then that an early opportunity of hearing Mr.
Jarvis again in this eoneerto with the proper
instrumenta l support may be vouchsafed us!
Rnt it is a thousand chances that there Is no
sneh prospect for us.
K **'. Uy , ov « r advancing in his art,plaved
the Tariim hole better, perhaps than it has
<‘\er been given here. This is warm, but just
praise. Only a violinist with his beantifully
neat and perfect intonation can adequately
interpiet this eiassie work, whose difficulties
are as greatas it* beauty. For the rest, it re
mains to note Mr. Hcnnig’s, soulful perform
ance, amt to thank Mr. Jarvis for the Schu

rconeipondence of tho Phlladn. 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.
