THU COURTS. The I>l»lrlri.A»tor«iejr ease. 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. FiKES-jpunruo March.— Captain T, Me- C’usker, of the Insurance Patrol, has made liis report of the number of fires and alarms throughout the citvfor the month of March. It shows that thero were 50 fires and 2 false alarms.

Pattison, Past Emi nent Commander, and Sir Chas. H. Kingston, .The retiring Eminent Commander, were the recipients of handsome presents from tlie Commandery. Tho gifts are solid goldjewels, and comprise Maltese crosses, enameled, and having the insignia of the Order engraved upon them. To these are attached a large Passion 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 their recipients,as tending to show the high ap 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 possible manner. The dancing was kept up 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. The Park Carriages.— Mr. Augustus Itci mer, who has received the contract for run ning carriages in Fairmount Park, has four vehicles ready for use, and they will be placed In the Park this afternoon. These carriages aro fitted up in a very comfortable manner. For the round trip, from Willow Grove to George’s Hill, fifty cents will bo charged, and from Willow Grove to Belmont Cottage, sixty cents. Those who desire to stop at Belmont Cottage for refreshments Will he furnished with return tickets tree of charge. Mrsio in the Schools.— The Board of School Directors of the Thirteenth Section held aspecial meeting last evening, when the follow ing resolution was adopted: “ Rtsolvetl, That in the opinion of this Bosnl tho pro M-nt system of study of musie in tho public schools, us heine now taught in tills auction, it very promising in Its results, ami wo think it unwise to uiako changes in tho exercises until a sufficient time he given for tho experi ment to ho fully testo<!. M Bobbery and Becoverv of Property.— The tailor store of James Campbell, on Second street, below Pine, was entered by forcing ox>en a back shutter, on Sunday morning last, and was completely ransacked. The thieves earned oft' goods valued at $3,000. The matter was placed in charge of Special Detectives Taggert and Geo. H. Smith, and this morning the stolen goods were found at a store on Bombard street, above Front. Pockets Picked.— Susan Kohler find Agnes Neuman, residing at No. 310 New Market street, had their pockets picked on Eighth street a few days ago.

George Bryfold was arrested at Second and Chestnut streets on the charge of cruel treatment of a horse. He was commit ted by Alderman Colgan. . Mad Dogs.— During yesterday afternoon mad dogs wero shot ou Walnut street, above Broad, and at Ninth and Walnut Streets. Promise of a Goon Thing.— Professor Janies Pearce, the organist of St. Mark’s Church, will give a gTanil conceit in the Academy of Music, in May, for tho benefit of the Bedford Street Mission. Mr. Pearce, ,lu this praiseworthy undertaking, has the sup port of a .number of prominent gentlemen, who are determined to make tho aft'air one of tho most successful ever attempted in this city. Mr. Pearce will have his hoy choir on the stage ; he will have soumof the finest profes sional singers in the city, angLa/magnificont orchestra.

N 05.84—172 of the catalogue are yet to be sold, and will be disposed of to-night. Ah un usually short term of public exhibition,and in clement weather, have prevented our citizens from acquainting themselves, as they should 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. CITY NOTICES. The Ladies’ Sokohis Glue, of New York, recently changed their discussion. from Woman's BiifTrngti to Hair Preparations and Pimple Banishers. They declared that, where natnre had not endowed them with beauty, it was their right—yea, their duty—to seek It where they could. Bo they all voted that Magnolia Balm overcame Sallowness, Rough Skin and Bing* marks, and gave to the complexion a most disc in eut (80- rosianlnnd marble-like appearance (dangerous to men, nodoubtj; and that LyOTi’s Kathatron made tlie Hair grow thick, soft and awfnl pretty, andj moreover pre vented it from turning gray.
