was ou of tho most extraordinary out

their money by rubbery and dobauch
cry by tho purchasj of judges nnd
legislators -and now they wanted to
preserve them by the bayonets.
Then Mr. Geort'o entered into a
lengthy condemnation of President
Cleveland, who he said, from the first
had taken the part of the capitalists
against the striirs.
Every mention of the presi lent'b
name was greeted with n storm of
hisses. Mr. George further condemned
the president for bis appointment of
federal ofilcers in the west. "What
are yon going to do nbont It?"
he siked. "impeach him." shouted

Nearly everybody seemo t to have a

Title Tho Sentence Passed Upon

Philadelphia, July 12.
USTICE MITCHELL iu the su
preme court today rendered an
nil important decision in the cases
of the commonwealth x. rcl.
Attorney General vs. Samneis et 11I.,
appellniits from the common pleas
court of Schuylkill county. The opin
ion iu full follows:
The net of July 8, 1S!, P. L. i'.W, while
it does not iu express terms abolish tint 11I
lice of county auditors in counties having
111010 than loL'.di I) inhabitants, does so iu
ifl 'Ct, transferring their duties and pow
ers to a county controller. Tills is the
manifest intent of the net, as gathered
from all its provisions, and as especially
indicated in section I which dir- tts the
olcctioii of a controller "in place of a
county auditor," and section 15 which
exprcs.dy directs how the duties thereto
fore devolved on the county auditors shall
thereafter bo performed. Such moreover,
even without an express legislative intent,
would be tho result of the net. Tho
powers, iiuthority and jurisdiction of an
ollicenro the essence of tlio ollice it?olf,and
are inseparable 1 loin it. To take them n way
totally is to destrnv the oliiee. Com. V. S.
(Ininlile, 3 Pa. old; lieiU vs. Sutoiilter, V.'S
Pa. 1.
Tho titloof tho net under consideration
is, "an act creating the office of county
controller-in count ins of this common
wealth containing 15ll,t0l) inhabitants and
over, prescribing his duties." In this Micro
is no indication ut the purpaio and effect
of the act t ) nbolMl the ollice of county
auditors. So fur as apucars in the
title, lhe act is merely cumulative,
in providing an additional county
officer, it is true that, the consti
tution m eiiuuieiating county officer, art.
M, Section 1, puts the two oliicos together
in the disjunctive, "auditors or controll
ers," nnd ti.at those who lire familiar with
the duties of controllers, as existing 111
Philadelphia and Allegheny, would know
that, they are mainly the same as those of
auditors in other canities, and, therefore,
that the creation of the r-flic? of controller
was lik- ly to interfere with, if not to abol
ish, tlinother. but this is not the notice
which the constitution requires the title
of the act. to give of its cubjoct. Tiie ob
ject of that requirement is that legis.
lators, and otiiers interested, shall
receive direct notice in immediate
connection with the act itself, of its sub
ject, so that they may know or bo put
unon injury as to its provisions and : heir
effect. Suggestions or inferences which
may bo drawn from kuowledgo dehors tho
language used, aro uot enough. The con
stitution requires that tho notice shall bo

As this defect in tho title is decisive of
the unconstitutionality of tho entire act, it
is not necessary to discus-, tlio other ob
jections raised to it. Judgment reversed.

which the judgment of the quarter

of tLe caso Jndgo Fell said:
The only exceptions that required notice

which was drawn under the act of Jiav p.,
J'J, The net provides that any banker
who shall receive money from a depositor
with the knowledge that ho (the banker)
is at tho tiuio insolvent, shall be guilty of
embezzlement. Tho indictment charges
that the defendant, being a bunker, ami
knowing that ho was insolvent, received
money from a depositor. T110 averment
in the indictment follows the lauguagi) of
the act, and is iu substantial compliance
with the rules nf criminal pleading.
Tho offence clearly unit distinctly defined
is the Irnuiiulent rociptof the money of

fied beet-.uso this is called embezzlement,
and by a construction which reads into
the provisions the definition of that of

THE progress made by tho senate

a par with that inaugurated by
it at the beginning of the present
week, bills which in previous con
gresses have provokud long de
bates and occupied the time of
tho senate for days nnd weeks
have glided through during the
few days, meeting hurdly an impedi
ment. And if the same shall be main
tained, thuro is no reason why the last
of the great appropriations should not
be cleared off the senate calendar with
the close of this wuwlc or early next
week. No less than live of them were
passed before the adjournment on
Wednesday aud tire now in the hands
of conference committees. These were
the naval, pensions, military academy
aud diplomatic and eonsular, and one
ths post office bill has gone to the
president.
Today the army and the fortifications
hilts were passed and progress mado on
the river and harbor bill. Those stiil
on the calendar are the District of Co
lumbia, Indiau, legislative, sundry
civil, agricultural aud general d-fl-ciduoy.

committee 011 that subject will not,
Mr. Mandorson says, be able to decide
