Qi'aktbii Sessions— Judges Allison, Liul-
Jow 1 Viren and IL-ixsou. —The case of the Dis
trict- Attorney, upon tbo petition of Mr. Shop
jmnl for n rehearing: upon tire• question
whether a mistake was made as to the count
of Ids veto in Judge Brewster’s opinion, wan
resumed this morning. At file close of tlio
session yesterday, Mr McMurtrie, for Mr.
Gibbons, was arguing that the Court was en
gaged in a contested election case, not to ascer
tain tlie exact numerical majority of' each
part v, but. whether one of tho two parties was
entitled to the office. Whether the majority
was more or less, was a matter of indittorenoe.
He further couiemlod that the Court was
powerless to remedy any wrong, if it had boen
committed, and cited authorities to this point.
Tins morning Mr. McMurtrie resumed liis
argument, urging that a verdict alter tho term
at which it was entered was out of the power
of t lie Court to amend. Three Judges arrived
at a conclusion in, this Court. The process by
which they arrived at this is immaterial, but
the judgment of the Court is a mattter that
eani’ot no changed. He next referred to the
looseness of the- records, which at ilrst led.
them to believe that a crime had boen com
mitted—a certified record of this Court where
there are no docket entries—was it surprising
that. counsel should conclude. that
this was wrong? Included in that
record was tho private paper of counsel,
covered over by liis private calculations ; and
the records do not show wliat was done after
the 28tli of October, and the Court is driven to
depend upon the recollections of counsel as to
wliat, was done sincein a proceedingto change'
a final judgment. This case, if it has no other
effect, may lead to a reform in our records, for
every member of the bar knows that in cases
of certiorari the record is generally made up
by agreement between counsel, there not
being tho papers and entries to enable it to be
done otherwise. . „ , „ ,
The next point is that the Court is confinod
to correcting errors in the term in which the.
judgment was eutvrea. What was the effect
of removing the case to the Supreme Court?
It was to waive all thje preliminaries. What
these parties did was for the purpose of re
moving the judgment, and tho ofleet was to
prevent them moving for a now trial.
Mr. M cMurtrie referred to the fact that two
petitions had been tiled—tho first alleging cer
tain errors, and the second pointing out others,
showing that there was no cerlaiuty in the
count on tho other side. This, then, comes to
be a rehearing of tho case, unless tho. party,
can point out a plain mistake in addition or
subtraction.
Ho reviewed Mr. Hagert’s claim to have
counted tlie names on tlio assessment., contend
ing that if the assessment list was successfully
assailed, the burden of proof was upon the
other side, to show that tho parties wore bona
fide voters, residing in tho precinct.
So, too, with the “ added list.” The pro
visions in the law applicable to these added
lists are designed to enable tlio Court to ex
amine them and ascertain tho fact on the
event of a contest. What is the real issue in
this case? Nothing but the subjects in the
petitions. And which of these petitions do
they rely upon? The mail who alleges error
must put his finger on it, as in the case of a
motion for a new trial; reasons must bo as
good. In their last petition they point out
errors which would give them a majority of
ID. If we can show errors in their estimate
sufficient to upset these 19, or show errors
which more than counterbalances these,
you will decline to interfere
with the judgment. In regard to the 3ti natur- -
alized voters added to Mr. Fox, the body of
opinion does not indicate whether the admis
sion or omission was a mistake. The fact that
he received them in Mr. Fox’s case is not be
fore you, as it is oh a record in another Court.
This "is atechnicality, but it proves tlie neces
sity of keeping to records. Not one of those
35 naturalized voters proved that he was as
sessed, and yet the J udge says that must be
done. The Judge said the votes were proper
“if otherwise qualified.” Was there ever a
case vfliere the Judge made a mistake in re
gard to ascertaining the qualifications, that it
should not be corrected? .
judge Allison—That was one of the clearest
points before us. Wo intended to add these
thirty-six to all the candidates. Wo thought
the circumstances connected with the rejec
tion of these .‘SO took it out of the order and
made a difference, and fentitled them to be
counted. Whether right or wrong Is not the
question.
Mr. McMurtrie—One of the peculiarities of
these 36 is this: Yon added them, andiOof
these offered to vote at an hour at which the
whole poll was rejected.
Mr. McMurtrie continued, and, in showing
errors on Mr, Gibbons’s side, referred to the
fact that in making up the opinion Judge
Brewster, in applying the principles to the
candidates, mistook the hours in regard to
Mr, Gibbons, and in the second division of
the First Ward, and tbo tenth' division of the
First Ward, there was an error of 18 against
Mr. Gibbons.
if this effort of Mr. Sheppard is successful,
it will invite litigation, and there will be no
end to these contested election cases. All we
have to overcome isli). As to the 36, I say
nothing. There is an error in our favor of 14
in the eighth division of the Ninth Ward;
an error of 3 in the sixth division, Seven
teenth Ward; 18 in the 17th division of -the
Seventeenth Ward; an error of Si in the 4th
division of the Twenty-fifth Ward; an error
on the hourly return of 18; illegal votes 17,
and an error on the fourth division of the
Twenty-fifth Ward of 3, total, 162.
Mr. Mann followed and said —I differ very
much in tev opinion from that entertained by
those who believe that a case of this character
cannot be rendered clear and free from doubt.
I think it is void oi all mvstery, and that the
result under the evidence t>y the application of
principles can be arrived at as readily as in
any other case. Of courso it in
volves the consideration 'of facts not
familiar to everybody, but they are readily
arrived at, and I do not consider it creditable
to a man that be cannot comprehend thefacts
and figures. Such a man would have been ban
ished at Athens, where it was considered a
crime if a man was not familiar with the at'-'
fairs of Stale.
Mr. Mann th6n entered into an arithmetical
calculation, based upon Judge Brewster's
opinion, tending to show that mistakes in
figures had been made against Mr. Gibbons.
CITY BIIIiLETIM.
Charge Against Policemen.— Bernard
Hogg and Charles Rourke, Policemen of the
Sixth District, were before Aid. Beitler this
morning. Hogg was charged with volun
tarily allowing a prisoner to escape, and
Rourke with assault and battery and threaten
ing.
Samuel Beatty testified—Reside in Aspen
street, above Chestnut; am a carter; have an
office on Twenty-second street, between
Market and Chestnut; on Sunday morning
last this building was entered by forcing the
rear window; was informed of the affair, and
called Policeman Hogg, and with him went
to the office and found a ,jnan coming out of
the front window; I took hold of the man and
handed him to the policeman; I went through
the place and discovered that the other thieves
had jumped over the fence. 1 returned to the
pavement and found Policeman Hogg walk
ing up and down. Ho was alone. 1 asked him
what became of his prisoner. Ho replied that
he had let him go in order to \come to my
assistance. I had told him that there was no
necessity for this, and again asked him what
had become of the prisoner. He said, “He
broke away from me.” Policeman Rourke
came to the office on Monday morning, and
alter looking through the place, said: “o'any
body lias done this business it was I yourself.”
1 earn I didn’t want any such remark
as that, and ordered Rourke out of the
place. He asked me to go to Arch street
wharf and fight" it out. I didn’t clar6 about
<ioipg that. Kourke then pulled oflt his coat.
?i vouw to the paveWnt, and
threatened to put a head on mo. Helwent out,
and in a few minutes struck me two or throe
tunes.
The Alderman asked Hogg if
tiling to say.
Hdpg tlien said that witness i,ad ma\lo a cor .
reet statement., and further remarked \that the
prisoner had broken away from him 1
. Several witnesses wore examined and
1 lien Hogg was held in Si ,500 bail, and itourke
/n $7OO bal), to answer at Court. \
Local (’howdku. —Wo saw a blue bird tliis
morning. He was perohed upon ’ a tree op
posite No. 1825 Walnut. He looked like an
oval done in indigo. He first oiled ouopinioa.
II e then took an intermission for refresnmento
,!imt flic execution of a trill that would have
elicited applause even from Patti. He then
oilod his dexter wing, and flew over in the
square, probably with the view of hunting up
a wife. The seed provided for the birds in the
squares is devoured by tho chickens kept in
by tlie curator. If wo were Commissioner of
City Property, we should lose ho time in
abolishing this custom of converting tho pub
lic squares into private henneries. Mr. Dandy
Stokes.wbo keeps tho square in question, may
be a cultivated chic Ken-fancier. As the
sparrows are hunting in the streets for the
food of which the poultry deprive them, tlio
Commissioner should intpiire into tho
matter. ,
Tho brighter hues of the promenades are re
lieved this afternoon by the more sober gray
of tho costume of the Frionds. The latter
suggest tho presence of an occasional sparrow
among a gathering of starlings in tho colors of
Lord Baltimore. „. . . , . , .
A house, three-quarters flmshod, located in
Nicetown lane, fell yesterday afternoon with a
disastrous crash. The joists were twisted off
like tho withes with which Delilah undertook
to “come slienanagin” over Samson. The
Whole is now a promiscuous pile of second
hand building material. Tho cliap who put it
up was evidently prompted by a purpose to
piit it uii cheap
The river steamers and railroad trains are
daily carrying all sorts of furniture to tlie
suburbs. Country residences are being put in
order for occupancy by their city owners.
The brotherhood of whitewashes is exultant
in as much work as it can do. Paper-hangers
are complaining of back-ache, while all sorts
of people, from gardeners to stable-men, are
thrown out as pickets to make preparation for
tlio coming exodus of Philadelphians.
A number of our jobbing-houses are now
working not only all day, but far into the
night. To what extent this will be done re
mains to be seen. Not a few Now Yorkhouses,
whose “ drummers ” lured some of our South
ern customers to the modern Babel, are now
imploring piteously for payment. For Sickly
trade that New York jobbers undertake to
mature, Philadelphia merchants entertain
very limited affection. Their peculiar wrinkle
is a healthful trade or no trade. A business
transaction that doesn’t givo benefit to both
buyer and seller is not a healthy one. The
man who '‘baits ” a customer is only baiting
himself.

Templar, Sir Kobert H. Pattison, Past Emi
nent Commander, and Sir Chas. H. Kingston,
.The retiring Eminent Commander, were the

Cross,with a halo, also enameled. On the back
are suitable inscriptions. This is the second
jewel which lias been presented to Sir Knight
Kingston during his term as Eminent Com
mander. These gilts will be highly prized by

preciation and esteem in which they are held
by the Sir Knights of the Commandery.’
A Pleasant Affair.—A private subscrip
tion hop and supper were given by the
" Bachelors,” at tlio Assembly Buildings, last
evening. Both saloons were used. The par
ticipants all enjoyed themselves in the highest

until a late hour. The supper was served in
fine style by Messrs. Hardt & Davis, caterers.
The entertainment was a complete success in
every respect, and great credit is due to the
Committee of Arrangements, comprising
Messrs. Knead, Casseriy, Griffin, Doner and
Horn. Mayor Fox was among the guests of
the evening.
Stokk Koisbekv. —The coufectionory store
of John Keller,. No. 404 South Sixth street,
was entered about eight o’clock last evening.
A ladder was placed against the building.
While one thief held the ladder another
entered through the second-story window.
The ladder was then removed. The inside
thief lighted a candle and ransacked the pre
mises. A pistol and jewelry valued at $7O
were carried oil'. A lot of clothing was packed
unready for removal. The thief was evi
dently frightened before he could get away
with the plunder. He escaped by jumping
from the window.

clement weather, have prevented our citizens

have done, with these interesting pictures.
M. D’Huyvetter,an expert of vast experience,
may bo said to represent in America tho Brus
sels and Antwerp artists. Now tho Belgian
school of art is one of tlie most interesting in
the world, combining tlio technical skill of
French painting with a romantic and imagin
ative tinge imbibed from German ideas. Gal
lait, and Leys, and Pauwels, are
names that would do honor ■ to any
Academy. Some highly interesting ex
amples of tho bettor line of Belgian paint
ers aTe comprised in the importations placed
in Mr. Scott's hands by M. D’Huyvetter. Van
Lerius, Professor of Painting at the Antwerp
Academy, contributes a splendid life-size
study of the nude, in a strictly academic style,
called "Esmeralda andDjali”; Linnig, pupil
of Leys, a “Pleasure Party;” L. Schaofels,
said to no also a professor at the Academy, a
beautiful little piece of still-life; Jacob Jacobs,
Professor and Member of Council of the same
Academy, a “Norwegian Waterfall,” to be
offered, (as well as the following) to-niglit;
Van Kuyck, Chsvalier of tho Order of Leo
pold 11., a very fine Stable Scene; Huysmans,
Chevalier of the Holy Sepulchre, a curious
and highly interesting scene,whereupon labor
is squandered to an amazing extent, repre
senting tho tomb of Saint James the
Less, in tho Armenian Church at Jeru
salem, with Armenian pilgrims, in elabo
rate robes, executing their devotions; and
Hendrick F. Scliaefels, one of the most
hopeful pupils of Baron Leys, and Academi
cian of Merit of Rotterdam, strikes tho high
■ est note in the whole affair with his fine his
torical composition, illustrating a conflict be
tween Dutch and Spaniards, during the
struggle of tho Dutch Republic. In addition
to important works like these, adapted to
loosen the purse-strings of tne rich, there are
not wanting an abundance .of humbler, yet
skilful and tasteful paintings by artists of
credit, carefully chosen for household decora
tion ; there are likewise copies of well-known
favorites, executed with a patience unknown
in this country—works not intended to be,
taken for originals, and distinguished by an
arbitrary firai-mme prefixed to the celebrated
surname which indicates the original author
ship. A number of excellent Philadelphia
paintings have been added to the importa
tions, by M. D’Huyvetter fits, who remains in
this city. Altogether, the sale is well worthy
the attention of connoisseurs.
The Boston Journal of' Music, a high
auth'ority, says the New Grand Pianos of the
manufacture of Hailet, Davis & Go. are in
struments of great power and richness.
