The Sheriff Difficulty Finally Settled.
JOHN THOMPSON TO TAKE HIS SEAT TO-DAY.
Yesterday morning the Bn pro me Court at Pittsburg
delivered an opinion quashing the writ o( certiorari, re
mitting the record and dissolving the injunction which
had been granted to restrain Mr. Thompson from inter
fering with Mr. Ewing in the occupancy of the office.
The effect of this decision ii to give Mr. Thompson the
office, ft om which he has for so long time been deprived.
As Boon se the news reached the city that theSnprema
Oourt had decided in favor of Sheriff Thompson, there
was considerable of a flutter and anxiety around Mr. .
Ewing’s office, although there was no undue excitement,
gjAt an early honr, however, the following despatch was I
received by F. Oarrolljre water, Esq., oounsel for Mr, |
•Thompson:
To F. Carroll Brtmttr
Certiorari Qaadxsd and record remitted. InjunctiondiB
- Opinion by Onset Justice Lowrie.
Thos J Krisxau,
Prothonotary of Supreme Court
Mr. Brewster, upon receiving this despatch, immediate
ly prepared the following,communication, which ho for
warded to Mr. Ewing, through John A. Wolbert, Kv<i.:
O 1 PHILADELPHIA, NdV. 25, 1862.
Swing vs. FUley «i 01. Snpreme Court, Certiorari to
Quarter Sessions of Philadelphia county; .
To Robert Swing, Eiq :
Bhab Sib ; We beg to inform you that, by telegram
received from the Prothonotary of the Sapreme Court
for the Western District <1 the State, datel. at Pittitmrg
this morning, we are edvißed that the writ of Certiorari,
issued in the above ease, has been quashed, and the re
cord remitted. We are further informed that the writ of
Injunction, in the case of Swing vs. Thompson, has been
dissolved.
Ohs original telegram is subject Jo your inspection,
end you ..will, no doubt, immeoiately take measures to
satisfy yourself of its truth.'.
We have to request that you will do so, and that you
will advise us, at your earliest convenience, of the hour
at which it would be agreeable to you for Sir Thompsiu
to resume, at the sheriff’s office, tbe discharge of his du

Hr. Ewing, upon receiving this document, Imrhedlate
ty consulted with bis legal advisers, and, in a short time
afterward, the following reply'was elicited :
Missri Brewster and, BUpin: w
Gkntlswbn : Hr.' Ewing has jnst handed me your
note of to day. As to night’s mail will no doobt bring
tbo decision and decree of the Supreme. Court, it would,
perhaps, be advisable to wait their arrival before 'taking
any action in tbe matters to whioh yon refer.
Tours respectfully.
Tini.Anßi.rnu, Nov. 25,1862.
Shortly after this, however, Sir. Smith, principal
deputy of Mr. Ewing, made an arrangement with Sheriff
Thomison, so that the latter can take possession of the
office this evening. This arrangement is Bupprsed to be
Inal, and thus this long-contested difficulty is at last
settled.
Mr. Ewing has been in possession of the sheriff’soffloe
since the first of December, 1861. He entered his seen-'
i Itles on the SOth of November, Sheriff Kern, on account
of the dispute about the army vote, having retained the
office about one month over his time. Now that the citi
zens of Philadelphia have at last the satisfaction of know
ing who is Sheriff, the receipts of the office, for some
time, will necessarily be large. Tbe business transacted
by Sheriff Ewing during the past month, owing to the
unsettled Btate of affairs, has been comparatively nothing.
Injustice to the ontgoing deputies of Mr Ewing, it may
be stated that those having business with the office have
seldom, il ever, had canoe to complain. Inmoßt particu
lars, they have given the most perfeot satisfaction to the
legal community. Mr. Thempson’s officers, who have
ail been appointed, will at once assume the duties of their
positions. _
The Taxable Psopmtt oj the
CITY.—The City Commissioners have completed their
assessment of the valuation of property io the various
wards of the city. Their statement has been submitted
to the Finance Committee of Councils, who will, on this
statement es a basis, recommend, at the regular meeting,
this afternoon, the tax rate for 1863 to be #2 on the *lO9.
This has been the rate during the present year. Coun
cils are required by law to fix the tax rate before the
15th of December, otherwise the rate for the previous year
continues.- :
The Finance Committee of last year estimated thatihe
turn of 5.’,637.397 08 would have to bo'-raise! by taxa
tion for 1862, and their calculation was that, at 82 upon
the $lOO, the sum of. 83,097,863 08 would be realized,
leaving "a surplus of 8160,486 for contingencies and spe
cial appropriations. During the present year special ap
propriations have been made, to |he amount of *273,922.-
86, being 8113,456.86 more than the estimated surplus.
lii addition to this, Connoils have to provide for the pay
ment of interest on *Ij6GG,OOO of lorn for the safety and
defence of the olty, and for the families of volunteers.
We have prepared the following table of the property
valuation for 1862,1861, and 1860, in the various wards.
It Is interesting as it is useful, showing the steady growth
of the city in manufactures, wealth and prosperity. It
should be borne in mind that the assessors, whenever a
miscalculation is made la respect to valuation, are always
sure to make a lower rather than a higher estimate of the
real value: -

A Rise and a Pall.— The recent sud
den inflation in the prices of refined crude coal oil, and
the enormous advance iu prices, has been suddenly
checked, and the decline is likely to be correspsndlngly
rapid. The refined article, at one time, sold aj low aB
25 cents. It gradually advanced to fifty cents, after
which it suddenly sprang up to 80 cents, 90 cents, and
81, and, in Email lots, to 81.10 per gallon.. Yesterday it
Bold at T5aSO cents, and only 60 cents were offered for
lotß to arrive. Within the past two weeks some petroleum
speculators have become millionaires, as others, in good
financial standing, have as far receded in the opposite
direction.
New Kind of Roguery, —A gang of
rogues, in New York city, have commenced defrauding
the citizens by reporting themselves as tax collectors
under the Internal revenue law, and bave oollected from
citizens various turns of money. Taxes are payable at
the collector's office, and not upon the call of the collec
tor, except in instances where a call upon tho eollector is
neglected. No doubt this fraud will be tried In other
placer, and it will be well for citizens to bear the fact in
mind, and have the persons arrested who attempt to prao
tiseit.

Bin: In briefest terms I stale the propositions which,
as the eubjeotof a reotut conversation, I promised to re
duce in writing. ~"
Wbat are the reasonable hopes or peace ?
Hot, that within the next fifty days the South) avail
ing htreeli of the teim of grace offered ini the President’s
proclamation, may, to save her favorite institution, re
turn to her allegiance. Let us not deceive ourselves.
There are no conditions, no gnaranties—no, not if we
proffer htr a hlanh sheet on which to set them down,
with unrestricted pen. in her own hand —trader whioh
she will concent to reunion, except in one contingency—
conquest, more or less complete, by force of arms.
Are we likely to obtain peace by oonquest?
In seatch of an answer, let ns look closely at a few sta
tistical facte.
1 By the census of 1860 the number of white males be
tween the sgts of IS and 46 is, in the loyal States, about
four millions ; and, in the disloyal States, aboat one mil
lion three hundred thousand; a little upwards of three to
one. The disproportion seems overwhelmingly great.
But this calculation, as a basis of military strength, is
wholly fallacious, for It inclndes persons of one ooior only.
Ont of the above fonr millions the North has to provide
scldlera and (with inconsiderable exceptions, not usually
txteodiog to fle d labor) laborers also.
But of the three millions and a half of slaves owned
in the rebel States, aboat two millions may be estimated
as laborers. Allow three hundred thousand of these as
employed in domestic Btrvlcea and other occupations fol
lowed by women among us, and we have seventeen bun
dled thousand plantation bands, male and female, each'
one of which counts against a northern laborer on farm
or in workshop.
: Then, of that portion of population whence soldiers
and out door laborers and mechanics mutt chiefly be
token, the northern (states have four millions and the
Southern States three millions,
i Supposing the negroes all loyal to their masters, it fol
lows that the true proportion of strength available in
this war—that ts; of Bolsters to fight and laborers to sup
port the nation while fighting—may fairly enough be
token at three in the South to four In the North.
Under this 'supposition of a Bout s united, without re
gard to color, in on effort for recognition, shall we obtain
peace by subduing her? If history teach truth, we
shall not. Never, since the world began, did nine mil
lions of people banded together, resolutely inspired by
the one idea of achieving their independence, yet fail to
obtain it. It is not a century Binoe one- third of Site
inamber successfully defied Great Britain.
: But let us suppose the negroes of the South loyal to
the Union instead of to their 111 listers, how. stands the
matter then?
In that case, it is not ic a united psople, but to a con
federacy divided agairnt Itself, that we are opposed ; the
masters on one side, the laborers, exceeding them in
number, on the other. .
Suppose the services of these laborers transferred to
ns, wbat wiff then be the proportion on> either side
of forces available, directly and indirectly, for military
purposes? '
As about five and three-fourths to one and a third:
in other words, nearly as nine to two.
Suoh a wholesale transfer is of course impossible in
practice. jßnt in so far as the transfer is possible, and
shall occur, we approach the above results.
How much wisdom, under these circumstances, is.
there In the advice that we should put down the rebel
lion fitßt and Bettlo. the negro questioYr'afterwardsl
Wbat shull.we say of their statesmanship who, in a war
like this, would lot vs out of view the praotieal effects of
emancipation?. . . ..
On the ether hand, however, it is to be admitted that
African loyalty in this war.wilt little avail us,.if we have
not good sense and good feeling enough properly to go
vern the negroes who may enter our lines.
To render their aid available, in the first plaoe we
mutt treat them humanely, a duty, we, have yet to learn;
end secondly, both for their sates and for onr own, wo
mutt not support' them in idleness. Doubtless they are
most efficient as laborers, as domeßties in oamp, as team
sters, or employed on entrenchments and fortifications,
or in embulance corps, or as sappers and miners; or, as
faat isß Southern plantations ebstt fall into our possession,
as field hands. But tf all these posts become overfilled,
better do away with the necessity .for. further draft in the
Noith by putting mnshets in the hands of able-bodied
men, oolottd differently from ourselves, than to delude
tbeir ignorance into the opinion that among the privi
leges o! freedom is food without work _ ■.
Bavo we philanthropy and discretion enough wisely to
administer such a' change of .system? Possibly not.
Acministrattveespseityin public affairs is not our strong
point. We would do well to bear in mind, however, that
without such capacity not this war only, but our entire
Government experiment, .will prove a failure at last.
Bo other objtctions hold agrinst the plan'l Does ha
msnit; forbid us to accept the aid of an enslaved race 1
In so far as humanity can ever enjoin war at alt, she en
joins the employment, by ns, of the African in this;
hr st, because bis employment may shorten, by years, the
fratricidal struggle j and then, because; if he is not par •
milted to assist in civilized warfare under. ua, and if,
without biß aid, we fail lo effect his liberation and thus
disappoint bis hopes, he may be overtaken by the tempta
tion to setk freedom and revenge in his own wild way.
In accepting the liberated slave: as a soldier we may are
vent his rising as an. esrasain. By the creation of negro
brigades we may avert the' indiscriminate massacres of
servile insurrection.
Or is there an insuperable difference of caste to the;
way? Iu a contest likely to eventuate in securingto
another race than onrs the greatest of temporal blessings,
are we determined to shut out that race from ail share to
its own liberation ? Are we so enamored of the Moloch
war. that we will suffer none but oar sons to pass through
the fire? - Tetribie penalty to pay,.with life and death at;
stake, for a national prejudice against the Southern Pa
rish!
As to the duty of our rulers in the premises . I cannot
see according to what principle of ethics a Government,
ebargedwith the lives of millions, the putting down of a
gigantic rebellion, and the restoration of tranquility to
the land,.has the right, in the hour cf its utmost need, to
scorn a vast element of strength within its reach and at
its disposal; nor why, if it refuses to avail itself of suohi
an element, it should not be held responsible for the lives
it sacrifices end tbe hopes it blights.
But we need emancipation far less for the material aid
it affords—great, even indispensable, though it be—than
because of other paramount consideration*.
We have tried the experiment of a Federal Union,
with a free labor system in one portion of it and a slave
system to another, for eighty years, and no one familiar
with onr affaire for a charter of a century past is igno
rant that the result has been an increase—embittered
year by year in ever accelerated ratio—of dissensions, of
sectional jealousies. of national heart- burnings. When,!
eighteen montbß since, these culminated in war.it was but
tbe issue which onr ablest statesmen, looking sorrowfally
into the futnre, had long since foretold. But if, while
yet at peace, and with ali tke influence of revolutionary
reminiscences pleading the cause of Union, this diversity
of labor systems, producing variance of character and
alienation of feeling, proved stronger to divide than all
past memories and preeentinterests to unite, what ohanoe
te there that its baneful power for evil should cease now,
when to thoughtb of fanoied injuries' in other! years are
aeded the recollections of the terrible realities enacted on
a hundred bloody battle-fields from which the smoke has
scarcely passed away ?
Hone—the remotest.
■ A suspension of hostilities we can purchase; a few
yeara’ respite, prebably, in which to return to onr
money-getting before tbe storm burnta forth anew with
gathered force; bnt if we look beyond selfishness and tha
present—if onr children are in'onr-thoughts—if we are
suffbrirg fled ‘spending now, that they, in a land of pros
perity, may live and die in peace, then mu»t we act so
that the resuit shall endure. We mast not be content to
put off the evil day. The root of the evil—the poeghhnt
cause of tbe war—that must be eradicated.
. Beport has it that a Western politician recently pro
posed, as the best solution of our difficult-its,. the recog
nition of slavery in all the States. Such an idea has a
basis of truth—namely, that a state of war is, among ns,
the necessary reauli of conflicting labor systems. Such
an idea might even be carried out and lead ts peace but
fod that progressive spirit of Ohtistian civilization which
we dare not openly outrage, how imperfsotly soever we
obey its hnmsne beheßt).
There are a thousand reasons—geographical, commer
cial, political, international—why we should not consent,
to a separation into two Confederacies; it is si contingsu. -
cy not to be thought of or entertained; hut, if we look
merely to the conditions of dasling peace , ths chance of
maintaining it would be far better if the independence of
the South were to be recognized with her negroes eman
cipated, than if she were to return to her allegiance re
taining her slave system.
For, in the former case, the cauße of dissension being
uprooted, the tendency would be to reunite, and a few .
years might see us a single nation again; while in the
latter, a constantly active source of irrltalion stilt exist
ing, three j ears of breathing time would not elapse with
cut bunging endless Quarrels and a Becond rebellion.
Conceive reunion with slavery still in existence ; ima
gine Beuthetn sympathizers in power among nroffertog
compromises. Suppose the South,, exhausted with,mili
tary reverses,and desiring a few years’ armistice to recruit,
decides to accept it under the guise of peace and recon
struction ? What next ? Thousands of Blares, their excited
hopes of emancipation crashed, fleeing across the border.
A fogltive slave law, revived by peace, demanding their
rendition. Popular opinion in the North opposed to the
law end refusing the demand. Benewedwar the certain
toHioinec ce.
Or take, even, the alternative of recognition—recogni
tion of an independent Confederacy, still elaveholding.
Are we, then—becoming the sole exception among the
nations of the earth—to make ourselves aiders and abet
tors of the slave-systemjof a foreign nation, by agreeing
to retnrn to her nesrd refugees seeking liberty and an
asylum among ua 1 National seif respect imperatively
forbids this. Q Public sentiment world compel the re
jection, as abase humiliation, of any proposed treaty
stipulation providing for rendition of runaway slaves,
k(l tbe South would regard Buell rejection in no other
light than as a standing menace—a threat to deprive
her of what she regards as her mostjvaluable property;
Coterminous as for hundreds—possibly thousands—of
miles our boundaries would be, must not the South, in
common prudence, maintain all along that endless bor
der-line an armed slave police ? Are we to consent to
this? And if we do, shall we escape the border raids
after fleeing fugitives? No aane man will expect it.
Ai ewe to suffer these ? We are disgraced. Are we to
resenttbem? It is a renewal of hostilities. /
State eleetiona may go as th6y will. Their results can
never change the fact that any party obtaining teC con
trol of the Government, and adopting the policy that the
aottitmenf of the emancipation question istobe post
poned till the war shall be closed, will never, while it pur
sues that policy, see this war permanently closed—not
even by accepting a shameful disruption of our country.
But, if emancipation is te avail us as a peace measure,
we must adopt ithololy, resolutely, effectually. It must
be general, not partial; extending not to the slaves of
rebels only, bnt lo every slave on this continent. Sven
if it were pradioablo, which it is not, with slavery non
existent in the Northern States, and abolished in those
which persist in rebellion, to maintain it in, the narrow
holder ship, it is precieoly there, where negro fugitives
can tbe mCBt readily escape, that its maintenance, would
the most certainly lead to war.
■ Can this great peace measure be. constitutionally en-
A proclamation or (tbe more appropriate form) an act
of general emancipation, ehonld, to its preamble, set
lorth, in snbsianco, that the claims to service or labor of
u bich it deprives certain persons having been proved, by
recent evtnts, to be of a character endangering the supre
macy of law. jeopardizing the integrity of tbe Union,
and incompatible with the permanent peaoe of tbe coun
try, are taken by tho Government, with just compensa
tion made. Under circumstances fer less urgent than
these, the law or custom of civilized .nation!, based on
considerations of public utility, authorizes snch taking
of private property for publio use We ourselves are la
miliar with its operation. When a conflagration in a
city, threatens to spread far, bouses iu the line of Its pro
greesmay legally be seized and destroyed by the authori
ties in order to arTest it; and the owners are not held to ..
bavo been wronged if they are paid for such losses under
an equitable appraisement But itißnot the existence
cf part of a city that is now.endangered ; it is the to
'tegriiyof one among tho first Powers of the world that
is menaced with destruction. ■
The truth of '■ the preamble suggested bos become, In
my judgment, incontrovertible, lit will receive the assent
of an overwhelming majority of the people of the loyal
States.' The public~ sentiment of. Europe will admit its
truth.
Let ns confess that snch a preamble, as preface to act
or proclamation, could not have commanded the assent
of more than a small fraction of onr people only two;
short years ago—two years, as we reckon time, a genera
tion, if we calculate by tbe stirring events and far-reach
ing up heavalß that.have been crowded into the eventful
months. In each days bb theße abases ripen rapidly.
Their consequences mature. Their ultimate tendencies
become apparent. We are reminded of their transitory
character. We are reminded that although for the time,
end in a certain stage of human progress, some abuses
may have their temporary uses, and for this, under God’s
economy, may have been suffered to continue; yet all
abuses have bnt a limited lire. The Bight only is eternal.
Tho rebellion, teacher and creator, as well as scourge
and destroyer, by sternly laying bare the imminent dan
ger ol slavery, has created the constitutionality of eman
cipation. It has done more; It has made emancipation
a boundm political duty, as well as a strictly constitu
tional right.
Oanwe, in declaring emancipation, legally avoid the
payment, say ol two hundred millions, in the shaps of
compensation to loyal slaveholders
Hot if a slaveholder’s right to service and labor frees
bis slaves, when not forfeited by treason, iB legal. On
humanitarian grounds the legality of that right has been
denied. But a construction of the Constitution adverse
to such denial, and acquiesced in by the nation through
out more then two generations, is held by mostmento.
bo reason sufficient why the right in question “Should be
regarded as private property. If it be private property,
then, except by violating the fifth article or tho amend
ments to the Constitution, it cannot ha taken for.publio
use without just compensation. To violate any article
of the Constitution Is a revolutionary act: bnt snch acts
cost a nation more than a fow hundred millions of dollars.
The risk that a future decision of the Supreme Gourt
might- declare emancipation without compensation to be
nncoi stitntiona), is,.of itself, sufficient‘justification of
the President’s policy, corresponding to the.above sug
gestions, in this matter. ■>
Buch compensation will be unpopular with many. Wise
and just aoiß, when they involve sacrifices, frequently
are. A wrong long tolerated commonly entells a penalty,
which is ssldcm cheerfully paid. Yet, even en other
grounds, we onght not, in this case, lo begrudge the money.
Who deserve better of their country than those brave
men who, in tbe border and other slave States, have
clung to their loyalty throuih all the dark bonre of peril,

A TER’S CATHARTIC PILLS.—
r\ The sciences of Chemistry and Medicine bate
been taxed their utmost to produce tbla beat, moat perfect
purgative which Is known to man. Innumerable proofs
are shown that these TILLS hare virtues which anrpasa
in excellence the ordinary Medicines, and that they win
unprecedentedly upon the esteem of all men. They are
safe and pleasant to take, bnt powerful to , cure. Their
penetrating properties stimulate the vital activities of the
body, remove the obstructions of its. organs, purify the
blood, and expel disease. They purge out the Toni hu
mors which breed and grow distemper, stimulate slnKßish
or disordered organs into their natural action, and impart
healthy tone with strength ;to the whole system. Not
only dol they cure the every-day complaints « every
body, hut also formidable and dangerous diseases that
have baffled thebestof human skill. Whilethey produce
powerful effects, they are at the same time, in diminished
doses, the safest and best physio that can bo employed
tor children. Being sugar-coated, they are pleasant to
take; and being purely vegetable, are free from any risk
ofharin. Cures have been made which surpass belief
were they not substantiated by men of suoh exalted po- .
sition and character as to forbid the sninicion of untruth.
Many eminent dergymen and physicians have lent their
names to certify to thepubliothe reliability of onr reme
dies, while others have tent me the assurance of their
conviction that onr Preparations contribute immensely
to the relief of my afflicted, suffering fellow-men.
The Agent below named is Ipleased to furnish gratia

use and certificates of their cures, of the following com
plaints :
Costiveness, Bilious Complaints, Rheumatism, Dropsy,
Heartburn, Headache arising from al foul stomaoh. Nau
