FROM HARRISBURG
The Supreme Ctieri—he Itgportant Decision
COorreepotidenee orThe Press.
HARRIS niraa, July 15, 1858,
The Supremo Court met hero yesterday, for the
purpose . of reading the opinions in oases which
had been argued before, as well as to hear the
arguments to be made in several new oases. Ono
of great interest was the one involving the Al
legheny county tax question. It will be recolleeted
by, the readers of The Press that an alternative
mandamus was issued against the Commissioners
of Allegheny county, a few weeks since, for the
purpose of compelling them to levy a rate of tax
sufficient to pay the interest upon the railroad
issues of the county, which she has disgraced her•
self by not paying. The wait was returnable en
Wednesday, and on that day William M. Mere
dith appeared for the
. bondholders, and Thomas
Williams, a leading repudiator, appeared for Al
legheny county. Mr. Williams moved to quash
the writ, because the claim upon which it was
based was a purely private and looal one, hatted im
providently and without notice to the respondents;
that the claim upon which it, was founded was denied
in Coto; and that no judgment had been ob.
tamped or suit instituted. Besides, a speeifio remedy
was provided bylaw. Mr. Meredith, in his argu
ment, took an enlarged view of the moral effect of
the course Allegheny county was pursuing in her
refusal to recognise these issues of bonds, while
Mr. Williams kept talking about " the rights and !
franchises of the people:''-said it was a parallel
ease with that of Hampden and Sydney, who re
elided the collection of the ship-money levied by
Charles the first, as though those who owe money
in Allegheny were to be oppressed by those who

by thelthior Justice :
Commonwealth vs. The Commissioners of Alle
gheny county. Mellon to' quash the writ. Opt.
Mon of the Court—Lowrie, 0. T. The writ of man
damus is not, as a general rule, a writ of right,
that any party oan have merely on ordering it;
but it tan be had onlyen application to the court,
and on showing a - prima facie title to it. The
application for it is an appeal to the discretion of
the oourt, anti hence the usual practice formerly
vise to rule the other party to be present at the
hearing of the application, so that ho or they
might aid in informing the court in theaxereise of
their discretion. That form of practice was not at
all necessary to the validity of the process, and
was not al ways pursued. '
The court might take the trouble to inform itself
That the ease was a proper ono, and to be heard
and decided on a mandamus, and when they did
so there could be no proper ground for a motion to
quash the writ on account of rho usual preliminary
rubs having been dispensed with. For several
yearn peat we have always dispensed with this
preliminary rule, and' awarded the alternative
mandamus on a proper prima Janis ease bring
shown by the petition, and we have found it very
convenient. It prejudices =Sight of the defend
ant, and brings on the cause for hearing in a better
form than by the rule to show sauce. Instead of
moving to quash on this ground, the defendants
'ought to have obeyed the writ by answering or
demurring.
We agree that the place for bearing such causes
ought ordinarily to bo within the Supremo Court
district to which the defendants officially belong";
but we think that even this must be subject to the
discretion of the court. Wherever this oourt may
be when this remedy is needed, there it must be
applied for, and thence and by the prothonotary
there, the writ may bo issued. And to make the
writ effectual at all in our hands, it.muat be re
turnable before us wherever we may be at the ap
pointed return day, just as the same writ out of a
Hing's Bench would be. It is only thus that the
cause can be brought to issue with proper prompt
ness, and is to be ready for bearing in the district
to which it belongs when we go there. We fool a
very strong dieluelluation tp bring parties out of
their district,. at the actual trial of tbo cause, and
cannot content to do it except where the necessity
Of itis very apparent, or where promptness in the
proceeding is essential to its effiericy in the given
eue.
These remarks may stand au a suggestion of our
views relative to two of the obJeottons taken by
the defendants ; the other two, we think, will mere
properly "arise when we come to the merits of the
OW, On answer or demurrer.
The motion to quash is refused. •

TELEGRAPHING IN Exot.ann —The Nome tele
graph Is used in England to some extent, but the
sTnal telegraph of Cook tb Wheatstone Is the one
that Is nnift common, and it seems to i e preferred
on mount of its eimplioity. President Buelia
nan'ilast message was transmitted from Liverpool
to London on three wires at the rate of 3 500 words
per hour, without a single mistake. Tho Queen's
speech, at the last opening of Parliament, was
sent from London to Liverpool, with one wire. at
the rate of thirty-two words per minute._ This
Is not quite snob quick work, however, as has been
acoomplithed on Amerionn telegraphs. Consider
able attention is now being paid in England to a
code of signals (phonetic message) whereby one
fourth or less the number of .signs now employed
for words may bo made to answer the same pur
pose. This is an important subject, as by a proper
system of prepared messages the power of the
telegraph may be quadrupled.
Woote—We clip the following wool item from
the Newark (0.) American of Thursday, which
will not be uninteresting to the wool-growers of
this vicinity:—" The crop of wool .in Licking
oounty. will probably be this year about equal to
the average of past years. We learn, on Inquiry
of our wool-dealers, that about half a - million
pounds are bought in this city annually, and be
sides that, the houses connected with, the trade
among our own citizens, there are a number of
buyers here from Hartford, and other eastern
cities. The price which the clip hos commanded
this year Is between 35 and 40 cents, and some
choice parcels have been sold at 42 cents. -About
two-thirds of the clip has changed hands. During
the last week it has come in pretty freely. Our
wool is generally of a superior quality."
Bailey 4- Co.'s Lit Up.—ln passing the
splendid new store of Messrs. Bailey t Co., on
Chestnut street, below Ninth, last evening, we
found quite a throng assembled on the pavement
in front, attracted, or rather arrested, by the
Battey of this palatial establishment lit np The
effect of the substantial glitter which marks so
conspicuously every part of the interior of the
store, is augmented wonderfully by the profusion
of gas light with which it has been supplied. That
the provision for light has been ample may be in
ferred front the fact•that on both sides of the store,
extending directly over the show cases, are nine
chandeliers, containing six burners each, whilst
the oval recess in the rear of the room is supplied
with triple side-lights, making one hundred and
fourteen lights In all. Of the character of theso
fixtures we need only say that they are of Messrs.
Cornelius S: Baker's celebrated manufacture, anti
that they are eminently worthy of the beautiful
edifice of which at -night they form so conspiouous
a part.
Sons of Malta.—Thin society will• hold its
grand convention in this city, commencing Mon•
day, July 19. Communications have been re
ceived from lodges in all parts of the world, stating
that their delegates were on their way to attend
this meeting. Five of the brethren of the Grand
Lodge of Calcutta, India, arrived here last eve
ning, and are now stopping at the Girard Ifouse.
The English and French delegations are supposed
to be on board of the Canada, which arrive& at
Halifax yesterday.
City 4ppointment,-10. Christopher, the
Commissioner of City Property, has appointed Mr.
Wm G. Lybrand, an old resident of the Ninth
ward, superintendent of Penn Square, The citi
zens of that vicinity, and pnrtioularly the juve
niles, will rejoice at the teturu to his - 'old post of
"Uncle William." The appointment is a good
one, and the appointee In every way worthy
of it.

mute was accidentally drowned in the brick pond,
in the First ward, yebterday afternoon.
A lad named Figley was drowns] while bathing

The Kirkpatrick Poisoning Case.
• •
QuerYen Sesszoisjudge Allison.—This case,
which Promisee to rival in length, if not in intereei,'
the trial of Thomas Wishington Smith for murder,
was again proceeded with yesterday morning.
We can congratulate the iurors on their general
freebness and brightneis of appearance, which is -
owing, we prat - tine, to the fortunate continuance
of the onse, which took place attendnay last.
The court room waa but thinly d, and the
general public seem to be unusually languid in
their demonstrations of -interest concerning the
result. - The case - is nevertheless one of eerious

thought the pie was overcharged with apiece; the
taste was bitter; it had a good deal of brandy in
it ;. the materials in it were very rich ones; I have
not seen the plate till tbia morning, since I left
Mra KAI house ; it is a common plate.
The court here took a recess of "fifteen minutes.
Ann Northmore was called, and gave the same
evidence in regard to the transaotions as the wit
nets who preceded her. -
Dr. Mahlon P. Hutchinson was examined, and
testified that be got two pieces of mince pie in Jan
uary last, one from Edward Kirkpatrick, and the
other from his wife; that one of these pieces he
left'at the store of Mr. Prootor to be analyzed by
Dr. Brooks; • theother piece he analyzed himself.
and applied four different tests to it, and found
that it was strongly impregnated with arsenic,.
Mr. Proctor testified that he was in the country
when the piece of pie was left by Dr. Hutchinson,
but was Informed by one of the young men in
his store that it was left the day before by the Dr.
with ilirectlon4that he should take it to the College
of Pharmacy and have it analyzed; that on the next
aqy be did take it there, and gave it to Dr. Brooks.
Dr Brooks was then called to the stand, when
an objection was made by Mr. Brewster to his ten
titnony at this time, on the ground that the pos
session of the pie was not clearly &tenanted for
from the time it had left the hands of Dr. Hutch
inson up to its reception by Proctor. That there
was no proof that it had not 'been tampered with
or charged in the tneautirae: That should be
clearly proved before the testimony offered could
bo admissible. Objection sustained by the Court.
One or two other witnesses were examined.
Whose testimony was of no great importance, and
the court adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning.
