LETTER FROM NASHVILLE. [Special Correspondence of The ,iPreai.] NasuviMiE, Tenn.. Oct. 27. THE WEATHER—THE STATE; OF THE CUMSER ; ; LAND RIVER. As revolutions are the order of the day, it cannot be wondered at that the atmospheric clerk should rebel against its own order of things. And he did; Last evening a snow storm set :in, and did not sub side tiil it had covered-the ground three ineheg deep; ' Never before,if I;am to believe the “oldest inhabitant”—old Csesar Jones—has such an extra ordintoy occurrence transpired' in: this benighted locality. The'general “State, of the weather is gloomy this morning, but as rain is most anxiously, desired by every one, cheerful'faces .constitute a -fine relief. The river has been rising for the past three days,'which gives credit to the rumors of a storm on the mountains. The Cumberland has been very low during the latter part of, the warm season, suifioiently so to render it inexpedient to attempt to-float; an eighteen-inch > steamer over the shoals. ■Cfose to the city the water in many places is five and six feet deep, however, and a gunboat might have floated in safely during the summer off Nash ville, which would have been a terror to rebellious bdlies. " , AN JMPOETANT ORDER BY GEN. NEGLEY—ALL • jTHJEiABMa'IirjHANDS OF CITIZENS TO BE DE LIVERED UP. : The following order from Gan. Negley was is sued one day last week : SPECIAL ORDER NO. 10. - Headquarters United States. Forces. Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 21,1862. - . I. The citizens of Nashville will immediately ' turn over to Lieutenant C. C. Cook, aid-de-camp and ordnance officer, at these headquarters, all the arms or munitions of war in their possession or • concealed with their knowledge. ;■ 11. Those peisons wlio, before the 24th instant, voluntarily deliver up their arms, properly marked ;,with their names, will receive a receipt for them to she, returned or settled for, as the Government may /direct. 1 , 111. The refusal^to-deliver arms of any descrip tion, or report their whereabouts, if known, will be ■ taken as sufficient evidence of disloyalty to subject • the Render to severe penalties. No excuse what ever will be taken-for an evasion of. this order. IV. A rigid inquiry will be instituted to discover parties-who may evade this order in any particu lar,- and a liberal reward willbe offered for informa tion, which will lead to such discovery. By command of General Negley. ’ . Jas. A. Lovrie, Capt. and A A. G. In common with Union people generally, I deem this one of the most judioious of all the good acts of the post commander,. Upon the morning of its' first appearance, such expressions as “ Oh, there’s no arms in the city“ Governor Harris ,took, all the arms about here,” and divers other complaints he heard. But, lo! such arush as wasmade to headquarters was only equalled by the grand skedaddle from this place in February last of Har ris and the rebel: army. Five officers wore kept busy for three days, receiving and giving receipts for arms, of good, bad and indifferent qualities; The greater part of the weapons were-substantial 'rifles and double barrelled shot-guns, most of which were loaded —probably to murder our sol diers when the Confederate army should arrive. To a’l those persons who have stood' firm at the helm of the old ship, a safeguard was given, .with the recommendation to purchase a few rounds of ammunition, as it was a “ handy thing to have in thehouso,” ' f ' Notwithstanding the rigid demand above, hun dreds of rebels have arms concealed about their and in their houses; But the following order, which might have been expected from the tenor, of 111. and I*V: sections of Special Order No. 19, will produce some consternation in disloyal ; circles this week: ; Headqdabtebs United States Forces, Nashville, Ootober 25,1862.' f SPECIAL ORDERS, NO. 20. X. Twenty.fivo..dollars reward wili ho paid for the discovery rnd information of any arms or mu nitions of war concealed in violation of Special' Orders No. 19. . . XL- .Any slavc reliable information of the conhealiDcSV of-arms ..shall, receive military pro tection'. - . ' ■ . By command of Brigadier General Negley. James A. Lowrib, Capt. and A. A. G. (Official.) . ’ G. M. L. Johnson, Capt. and A. D. C. Paragraph II of No. 20 is just the thing, for, I must confess, the . information; from . that source generally, in this department of the army.has been * valuable, indeed. , ’. GEN. BUELL. ■ ’ *" “The Louisville Journal at last backs down on. Gen. Buell,” I heard expressed in many circles since the arrival of that paper of the 231 inst. Not a Union man in Tennessee, from Gov. Johnson down to your bumblo servSnt, has a spark of confi dence in Gen. Buell. Nobody believed that a de cisive battle would take. place in Kentucky. Everybody knows that Bragg went there on a stu pendous foraging expedition, and everybody knows he was successful.; He had a slight skirmish in Kentucky, and got thrashed; but got out of the State safe, notwithstanding. I must confess Ihave grave apprehensions of the enemy’B future move ments. Bragg;is now inTenneEse, with supplies for-forty thousand men for three months. He may ■ anticipate a demonstration in this direction. We ■are well fortified, and have a smaE garrison of brave men, with a vigilant and brave general at their head. Should Bragg attack this city he will en counter a most obstinate resistance, and a most sanguinary contest wHI ensue. " : ' AMUSEMENTS. ' As an imperative order exists and is rigidly en forced, thafall citizens should be at home by 9 P. M., it became necessary, a few weeks ago, for the lessee of the theatre to close his establishment. But as this threw a large class of people, mostly from the North, out of employment,, permission was. given the attaches, by the authorities, to open the theatre for day performances. Thus we have matinees, Ac., at least two or three times a week. This afternoon a deserving “ Yankee,” Mr. S. T. Simona, who has officiated of the esta blishment, will be; the recipient of a testimonial. The bill offered for the entertainment is quite at tractive. Mr. Simons is a polite- and honorable gentleman, an enthusiastic Union .man, and well known in New York and Philadelphia, where his corpulent body has often moved. - ' HOSPITAL ITEMS. . ■The following is a complete list of the sick at the hospitals in this city ..under the superintendence of Surgeon General Swift : Hospitals N 0.4. 204; No. 5, 86; No. 6,196; No. 7,193 ; No. 8, 327; No. 9, 149; No. 10, (rebel sol :diefs,j 8 ;Nm 11, (smkU-pox,) 3; No: 12. 229; No. 1 13,181; No. 14. 344; No. 15, 120.

Yesterday, as the Ist Tennes see Regiment arrived from a scouting; expedition, they had occasion to pass the house of a notorious female Secessionist, who shouted, at the top of her voice, “Oh, pshaw! that’s not the crowd I want to see.” “ No,” rejoined the adjutant of the regi ment, “ the crowd you want to see generally go the other way.” For the past two weeks the military authorities have been very strict-, and; as no person is permit ted to leave tho city who is not loyal, necessarily a vast amovraAof questioning takes.place at the pro vostmarshapß office. A few days ago a tall, de jected-looking, middle-aged man made his.appear ance before Col. Gillem and solicited a pass. The first question put by the Colonel was, “Are you a loyal man?” : “Well,” said the mysterious-looking solicitor, “ I expect l am.” “ You expect you are; don’t you know whether you are a Union man or not?” * -• “I expect; I don’t know, sir.” ' . The appearance of the man and his manner of conversation rather nonplussed Colonel Gillem, who centinued, however:. “ Where do you wish to go, sir?” “I want to go home.” . “Where is your home?” “ In East Tennessee.” “ when did you arrive in this city ?” “Several years ago.” “ Where was you at the commencement of the rebellion, sir?” “In this city.” “ Hid you ever hear Andy Ewing make any of his speeches?” “No, sir.” ' ■■■■;' ' “ Have you ever been in the rebel army ?” . “No, sir.” “Bo you ever intend to take up arms against the Government of the United States?” “No, sir.” *; : . “Have you a family in East Tennessee, sir?” “ Yes, sir—a wife and two daughters.” “How long’is it since you have seen your family?” . “Tenyears.” “ Ten years / Where have you been during all that time?” . “ In the State prison, sir.” “Mr. Bent,” said the colonel, turning to one of his clerks, “give this man apass to East Tennes see.” “Good, likely young negroes” used to sell in these parts, a few years ago, at twelve hundred dollars a-pieoe and upwards. Since the rebellion, however, that species of live stock has fearfully fallen.. Last Monday Sheriff Selbyett went to the house of -a gentleman residing upon the Franklin pike, to seize property equivalent to a debt of fif teen hundred dollars, and was in the act of picking out the sixth “nigger,” when his owner exclaimed, “ for God’s sake, Selbyett, ain’t niggers worth any more than chiekens?” B. C. T. THE ARMY OF THE MISSISSIPPI. The Prospects of Another Battle—A Grand Movement on Vicksburg Projected. The correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, writing from Ooristh under date of Ootcber 25th, gives the following interesting facts: WILL THEBE BE ANOTHER BATTLE ? , Will we have another battle here! Wbat will be done next? These are the momentous questions which agitate ns at present. Not from any fear of our inability to re sist an attack, or of onr being unprepared to meet the enemy, but from a detire to be doing something - It Price and Van Dorn are not inclined to attack ns again, there is no law in existence, that I am aware or,; which f' rbidi us from attacking them. This army desires to be moving; to be doing something toward patting down this rebellion, and not remain here inactive, in the very eeaton when' it should be up and doing. It Is , i true,: that if General Boeecratm .had been in chief command of this district two weeks ago there’ would be comparativelynothing for ns to - do now In thiß vicinity, as by the vigorous pursuit which General Rose craashad Instituted after the defeated’columns of Van Bom and:‘Friee, the rebeia would have, been entirely scattered. and demoralized. As it was, such is autho rity, the pursuit was abandoned, and the rebel generals withdrew the remnant ef their shattered force to Holly Springs, where, by reinforcements and recuperation, they ace probably by this time ■ ready for another bout. Late accounts from there are to the effect that the rebels really intend to make another attempt on this point. If they do they are likely to have a good time of it, as the troops here, flushed with viotory, are eager to face the foe.'end having the fullest confidence in their generals, ■ they cannot believe but that viotory will crown their efforts, Beridea, preparations are being made hereof such a nature as to insure the rebels a warm recep'ion oh their next visit to this place. lam not at liberty to : enter into details as to the nature of thoee preparations, hut deem it sufficient to say that you may look far stirring news from this army .within the, next fortnight, for I am in hopes that ere that time elapses the “Ana conda will move.” - : THE MORTALITY OF THE UNION AND REBEL .. - WOUNDED. As a genera' thing, our wounded in the late battle are progressing favorably. Dr. Gay, of Columbus, ha* charge of the hospitals , here, aua under his supervirion the rick and wounded receive proper attendance The v curded rebels were all sent to laka, imm)diately after the battle, is charge of some of their:lurgeons. About sixty per cent of them have died. At one time the mor tality among them was so .rapid that the?conld not be buried fast enough. Several of our officers who have been up to Inka, attribute this to the incompetency and ; intemperance of the surgeohs in Charge, who, they say, instead of giving to the wounded the liquor and delica cies tent by our sanitary and hospital departments, keep it themselves; in fact,- if- it were not lor the attention of - the,; inhabitants of Inks, It Is doubtful whether the wounded would be"attended to at all. By an arrange ment entered into' between Generals Grant and Prigs-," ; luka ia to remain neutral ground, for hospital purposes. Neither of the belligerents are to oocupy it with troops, which will enable the citizens in and around the town to aid the medical, authorities in their attendance on the sick and wounded. Baiboad and telegraphic commune- ■ cation is also kept up betwefen the village and this point; THE MOVEMENT TO THE CAPTURE OF VICKSBURG. There is a rumor here to-day that a Btrong Union force, from the direction of Memphis, his occupied Tupelo, and that in a few days another Btrong column,will move down on this side, on the Memphis and Charleston, and - Mis sissippi Central roads; and, taking possession of Grenada and Jackson, ent up the railroad connecting with' Vicks burg, destroy Meridian, the junction of the first-named rcade—thua preventing railroad communication with : Richmond—and move upon Vicksburg from the rear; while onr gunboats engage the rebels from the river., TbereJsprobably no move* which can be made by our generals Ihat would he easier of accomplishment, and none, certainly, which promises richer results. The army of Van Bom-and Price baa already been badly whipped, and yet this is the only considerable force be. tween’iis and Mobile.

General Bayard s Expedition—Driving the Rebels from Upperville—The JEuemy Cap-' -ture a Train of Cars and Ninety Prisoners. Hkadqoabtep.s, Centerville, Friday, October 81,1382. A couple cf Union men arrived hero latt evening. di rect from’Uppervllle {nesr Ashby’s Gap), which place they left on Wednesday night. They reportths! General Walker (of the rebel service), with ten regiments of in fantry. twelve pieces of aitillery, and two companies (abaot 260 men) of cavalry, reached Upperville by the way of Ashby’s : Gap last week,*and-remained thereuntil Tneaday of this week, when the oanmandtng ofßcer re ceived Information that a Union force, under Gan. Geary —numbering II.COO men—was approaching him from the north, and h«d already reached Snlckersville, and that another force, under General Bar ard—numbering 2,000 men—was approaching him from the east by way of Middlebnrgh, and commenced moving off hia forte through Faria and Ashby’s Gap into' the Shenan doah Valley. My informants slate that when the ad vance commenced moving off, it was understood that the commanding general Intended to march at once to Wincherter. The following day {Wednesday, the29th,) a detachment of General Bayard’s command (which left Chantilly the same day);commanded by Colonel Wind ham of the Ist New Jersey Cavalry, drove the rear , guard of Walker’s command from Middlebnrgh, enough -Upperville and Paris, and at last accfnnts was running ; them into Ashby’s Gap. Colonel Windham ia 'an ex perienced cavalry officer (having seen fifteen years’ active service); and is said to have managed this affair with consummate skill. Several skirmishes took place one near Paris and another sear Upperville—between Colonel Windham’s advance and the rear guard, of Walker’sarmy,bnt onr men dashed npon them with tnch intrepidity that toe rebel force—though orach Superior in numbers to ours—fled in utter dismay. In ' these skirmishes several of the enemy were wounded, Bnd a Lumber cf prisoners and horses were captured. So far as my informant could ascertain, only one of onr men was wounded, and that very slightly. CONTRABAND NEWS FROM THE REBEL ARMY. Two colored men, who have been in the rebel Long street’s corps, and in Walker’s division, for . the last year, deserted the:latter command at Upperville on Tuesday night last, and arrived here yesterday; -Their story confirms the report given above, in relation to Walker's’force , and movements up to Tuesday night They Bay the. rebel army at Winchester Is much larger „ than it was when it entered Maryland—having received additions in the shape of conscripts, returned conva lescents and volunteers; that Longstreet has uader his command. In all, about 420.00 men—that is what they have heard the officers asy—and that ten days ago, all bht General Walker’s command was at Etephensen s sta tion; a litHe distance northeast from Winchester, on the Harper’s Ferry and Winchester Bailroad; they have not beard .anything said about the, rebel army retreating to' Richmond, and do hot believe any/snch movjt mfnt is contemplated; at present; but they’have ' heard something said about the army going into winter quarters at Gordonsvlllc; as yet, however, they have seen;nor;heard of anything that induced then to believe that any, special preparations have been made to fail back at .ail.,; Toombs, Lee. JacksOD, and Longstreet, with tbeir commands, are within reach of Winchester; they do.not know the. whiresbonts of Hill’s.command. These,colored men talk more intelligently abont military matters than a majority of white men not Connected with toe army, and, therefore: more than: usual reliance is placed in what they say. By a series of cross questions, I sacertamedtbai they brow all the dffferant.commanda into which an army is divided—such as thedifference be tween an army corps, divisions, brigades, regiments, Ac ; a battery, section of a battery, &e In their opinion, the rebel army is much demoralized, or, as they express it, the men are growing more and more dissatisfied with the war every day, and many, now the cold weather is ap proachirg, express a determination to go home, whether permission is granted them or not. The army is well supplied with fresh meat, bacon, and flour, and most of the soldiers have Ttcently received new (cotton) clothing, including overcosts, but they have not enough to make them comfortable these coffi nights. WINTER QUARTERS NOT THOUGHT OF. All the quidnuncs and military lawyers in camp—like sailors, soldiers, are troubled with the latter class—for once Bgree upon one point, and that Is, this army .corps Jb hot destined to go Into winter quarters here, bht, on the contrary, that it will advance further into the ene n y’s lines at no distant day. It is impossible to enume rate all the little circumstances which, without any posi tive knowledge abont the matter from official sources, that, summed together, have brought every oneto this conclusion; bnt the principal indications are that no arrangements whatever have been made lo go into winter quarters; orders issued a few days ago, which seemed to look in that direction, haveeither been annulled or held in abeyance ; the known fact that the.plokets of General ■ McClellan's advance force were last night within a very few milesofthosesent ontfrom this corps; and to crown sD, the wish prompts!*, and the whole country is expecting the army to advance* The distance between,this point and ’Washington is not great, and the clothing necessary to fit the men ont for winter need notcanse mnch de lay, and the qnarfermssfers are. assured that onr men (hall be served lost as sosn as General McOlellan’s troops are snppiied.

Tie Examiner has an article on the treatment of the exchanged prisoners at Aiken’s Landing, in which it says': “We have been waited upon' by several of the surgeons who came up frcm Aiken’s Landing on Tues day, in charge of the wounded paroled prisoners ; and from their statements of neglect, and the treatment re ceived at that point, it would seem that the sufferings of the Confederate prisoners only commence when they are released from.

At Kisi Prto. In Kjaitp. Motion TboEcpaoc. ) for a Special lojuoction. The opinion of the Court wee delivered by Strong, J. Three prominent anesUons are raised by this motion. They are: Has the complainant a legal right to the office of Sheriff of the City and County of Philadelphia! Does the defendant unlawfully invade or threaten to invade that right ? If he does, is the Invasion of such a' cha racter SB to call for the exercise by this court of its pre ventive power 1 . ■ On the 27th day of November, 1861, the Governor of .the Commonwealth issued a com nisslon to the. com plainant, reciting ; that by the election returns of the October election of that year, it appeared that he had been choten Sheriff of the City anti Oonnty of Philadel phia, and authorizing him toperroTtntneautleerand en joy the privileges of . said office for the term of three years from the second Tuesday of October, 1881, if he should so long behave himself well, and until his suc cessor should be duly qualified. Under thi! commission he entered - upon the duties of the office, and he has, in fact! acted hitherto as Sheriff. If this commlssion is still in force, beyond controversy, he has a legal right, not only to the office, hot to its undisturbed enjoy-, ment. ' This we do not understand to be controverted. - The'next stage in the inquiry, therefore, is, whether anything appeert which invalidates the commission. The defendant produced a commission from the Governor to himself, dated October 21, 1802, reciting that it ap peared from the returns of the same election, held in October, 1861, that he has bein' chosen Sheriff of the said city and county, and authorizing him to hold, exer cise, snd enjoy the said office of Bheriff, with all its rights,- fees, perquisites, emoluments and advantages, and to perform all its duties for the term of three years, to [he computed from the second Tuesday of October, 1881, If he should so long behave himself well, and until his successor should be duly qualified. The two commis sions are Tor the same office, for the same term, and both recite the eame election returrs. The second does not profess to be founded upon any amended return; it makes no allusion to any contest of the election, and It does not in terms revoke, annul, or supersede the com mission previously issued to the complainant, What, then, is its legal effect ? Had there been no contest of the election of Bheriff or of the election returns it could not be maintained that the crmmission iisned in October, 1862, annulled, vacated, or superseded the commission given - to the complain ant in Hovember, 1861. The power of the Governor to revoke a commission once issued to an officer not re movable at the pleasured the Governor may well be de nied. Even where he jhas the power of appointment of such an officer, cut appointment once made is irrevoca ble. Much more, it would seem, is a commission issued by him, incapable of being recalled or invalidated by himself, when the appointing power is located elsewhere, and when his act in issuing the commission is not discre tionary with him, : but is only the performance of a mi nisterial duty, Under the Constitution, the Governor does not appoint a Sheriff, and he has no choice as to whom he will commission The appointment is made by the electors, and it is the dnty of the Chief Executive to commission the person whom they have designated sccoiding to the forms of law, and a vetted right is consummated in the parson com mUeioned, a right which nothing but a judicial de cision- can take away, or authorize him to recall. The cbiervationa of the Supreme Court of the United States in Mercury vs. Madison; l Oranch, 137, bear fordblr npon this subject That was an application for a mandemus to compel the delivery of a commission for an Office to which the applicant had been appointed by the President of the United States, and for which a com mission had been made ont but not delivered The office was one which the law created, and of which it fixed the duration of tenure by the officer, but under the Con stitution the President hod the appointing power. Shief Justice Marshall, in delivering the unanimous opinion of the Court, made the following observations: “ Where an officer is removable at the will of the Executive, the circumstance which completes his appointment is of no concern ; because the act is at any time revocable; and the commission may he arrested if stil! in the office. But when an officer Is not removable at the will of the Execu tive, the appointment is not revocable and cannot be, annniled. It has conferred legal rishts which cannot be resumed. The discretion of the Executive is to be exer cised until the appointment has been made. But haring once made the appointment his power over the office Is teimlnated in all cpses where by the law the officer is not removable by him. The right to the office is then ia the person appointed,'and he has the absolute, unconditioned . power ol accepting or rejecting it.” In this case itseems to havebsen held that neither the appointment nor the commission can be withdrawn. The Executive may undoubtedly be authorized by law to re voke a commission or supersede it for cause, though he has not the power of appointment, and though the dura tion of the tenure may be determined by the Legislature. Whether he conld' when the tenure as well as the mode of appointment is defined byithe Constitution is perhaps not so clear, unleisthe commission has Issued to one who was net elected or appointed But the law has made the return the only evidence of an eleotion, in the first instance,, and conclusive until it has been corrected or shown to be false by a judicial determination. The de fendant cannot stand, therefore, on his commission alone. He is compelled to show that the Executive was autho rized to issue it, before he can contend successfully that it haß superseded that previously granted to the com plainant This brings u* to inquire whether the proceedings which have taken place in Ihe Court of Quarter Sessions empowered the Governor to grant the commission, and thereby snpersede that which was issued upon the origi nal return. These proceedings are not referred to in the second commission, but if ibey conferred a power, the commission roust be held to have issued under it. rather than be void. : Prior to the date of his commission a con t< st of the complainant’s election and of the return there of had been inttiated in the Court of Quarter Sessions, under ihe provisions of the act of Assembly of July 2, 1839, and in that contest a decree was entered on the 18 th day of October, 1862, that the conplalnant was not elected, hut that the defendant had received a majority of the votes given, and that he was duly elected. On the same day a certiorari was sued out of this, court by fhe complainant to remove the record of the contest in ihe Conrt or Quaiter Sessions, and it was served. The effect of that writ was to stay further proceeding In the court below, and to remove the record of the case into this court. That such is the effect of a certiorari, except in cases where the Legislature has made a’different rule, is the doctrine cf all the cases. It is not itself a writ of jrapar (f dees, but it operates SB one by implication. Originally in fact, and now always in theory at least, it takes the record out of the custody , of the inferior court, and leaves nothing there to be prosecuted or enforced by exe cution. Yery many oT the English, as well as the Ame rican authorities, are collected in Patchings. The Mayor of Brooklyn, 13 Wendell, 884. There are very many others all holding a’common law writ of certiorari, whether issued before or after judgment, to be in effect a sups rsedeas. There are none to the contrary. In Borne; of them; it Is ruled that action by the inferior court, aftßr service cf the writ is erroneous; Is others, it is said to be void ard punishable as a contempt They all, howl Vver," asiert no more than that the power of the tribuna to which the writ is directed is suspended by it; that the judicial proceeding can progress no farther in the lower court It is not' ro clear, either in reason or authority, ibat collateral action is erroneous or void. _ _ If an execution has been issued upon a judgment be fore theeervice of a certiorari, the power of the sheriff to go on under the execution ts not suspended. It re quires a formal supersedeas to suspend- it. The court may even issue a vend. ex. to enable its completion. An execution issued aftsr certiorari served is erroneous, and perhaps void, because its issue is the act of the court to which tbe.supcrior writ has been sent, and of the party whose further proceeding has been stayed. An election contest is in some respects peculiar. True, it la a ja4l - proceeding, hut, so far as the court in. which It is conducted Is concerned, it terminates with the judgment or decree. So execution of the decree is entrusted to ihe court, or is under its control When the truth ef the return Is contested, the duty of the whst should have been the true return, and declare it. Then its duty has been done. The reiularity of its pro ceeding may be revieed In the superior court, and, no doubt, a certiorari removes the record in such a case. Iteannot, however, operate upon the inferior court as a supersedeas, for, after a decree, there is no possible setieu of that court to be stayed. If It stays any thing it can only be the action of the Executive in leaning a new commission in view of it, rather than upon it, or act under the new eommtoslcn when issued, by the substantial party to the decree in whdsefavor it haa been made.. But the issue of a com mission by the Executive, after thejservice of a certiorari, is sot disobedience to'the writ, for that goe* only to'the judges!

It is not on that account, hot be* cause the action may in this sense be said tabs Bead ing, that proceedings are stayed in the ooutt where the trial was held, hut it is because in contemplation of law its record is removed ti another tribunal. But while we do not hold that the ceriitratt served on the court took away from the Executive the pewer to issue the commission to the defendant after the decree correcting the election return, a power which the decree unimpeacned gave him, we do hold that the service of the writ affects the defendant. Ho was a party to the Quarter Bedsioiu, not fn name, but in substantial birth. It waß his right whioh was in contro ‘,nd Ms .were the fruits of the deoree. Upon him. therefore, the certiorari may operate. When it was served and the record was removed, he had not begun to execute the dntiea of the office, or to act unfertile decree end his commission. His position is like that or a party who has an execution in his hands not delivered to the officer, when the writ comes and stays his further, proceeding. Bis title to his commission is not taken away; but his right to proceed-under it is sus m nded until the final decision under- tho revisory writ. It may be that the decision of the Supreme Court, on the hearing of the certiorari, will result in setting aside the decree of the Court of Quarter Sessions, and thus leave the original return and the commission of the com plainant in Ml force. On the other hand, if the deoree pesrSriDca, the right of the defendant to hia commission, end to (be emoluments of the office from the 21st day of October last, will, be established. His title will then have commenced at the date of Ms commission. It does not, howeverpgivehim a present right to assume the office, or interfere with its duties. ~ The woond question is easily answered in the affirms ,iTl' Jbe bill and affidavits show that there has been and etfiUis a of the rights ofthecom plalnan% made by the defendant, no doubt under a be lief of right, bntatUl mjlawfd, The remaining inquiry is whether the case Is such as one as requires the court, iu the exercise ofite equity power, to . grant au iujunction. It is a bill preferred by an individual asserting a personal right invaded. Yet it is not to be overlooked, that it affects public interests. The office of sheriff is a moßt important one, and the question which of two persons claiming it may lawfully pel form its duties is one in which the whole community is interested We ought not to leave the matter in doubt. Though we cannot now determine finally who has the right, we can, and ought, to determine who is Stii I 8 ?. d ?F 8 l ent » conflict, until there ehall be an adjudication that shall terminate finally the ei€ctwp contest - We* therefore, feel constrained to awartfan injunction. * - A speedy, Anal decision of the contested election is im peratively demanded by public considerations. In the light of these, individual interests and personal conveni ence are of minor importance, though they are by no meaßß to be disregarded. We have no power to compel a hearing of the certiorari before the retnm day of the writ; but we bave power to dissolve the injunction now granted, and we have power to impose terms upon the allowance of a common-law writ of certiorari after lodg ment. It is not a writ of right, and will never he allowed for mereiy technical errors which do not affect the me rits. Bee. ab. Certiorari A.
