S. Court rooms, to hear the opinion of Judge Grier in a ease involving the validity of a large proportion of the bonds issued to the Chartiers Valley, Allegheny Val ley, and Steubenville Railroads. As the public at large are interested we lay before oar readers his morning, that opinion in frill as follows • Oehlrich & Co. ) In the Circuit Court of the • Western District of Penn- City of Pittsburgh. ) sjlvanie. The plaintiffs are a mercantile firm in Ham burg, and have instituted this snit against the Mayor, Aldermen, and citizens of Pittsburgh, a municipal corporation, chartered by the Act of Assembly of 18th March, 1810. The claim set forth in the declaration is for five hundred and sixty-nix coupons for interest due on certain bonds issued by the corporation under the seal, and signed by the Mayor and at tested by the Treasurer. These coupons are severed from the bonds, as their name shows was intended. Each is for six months' Interest on it bond of $lOOO, viz: $3O. The execution of them has been proved by the officer who signed them, and not denied. The bonds to which they were originally attached, were given to three several railroad corporations, in payment for sub scriptions of stock. The coupons differ (not materially, perhaps,) in their form, and will be . noticed hereafter. The declaration claims to recover five hundred and silty-six coupons of $3O each. The plain• tiffs have given in evidence but five hundred and thirtynine. Of them four hundred and three are cut from bonds batted to the Allegheny Val. ley Railroad, one hundred and two from bonds given to the Pittsburgh and Steubenville Rail road, and thirty-four to the Cheaters Valley Railroad. Notwithstanding the many matters which have been introduced into this cave, with no much apparent, Mad I doubt not, real earneatoces and no inconriderable power of rhetorical declama tion, the matters to he considered by the court and jury are, as in other cases, questions of law, to bo decided by the court, add questions of fact by the jury. The Magna Charm of England— the brave resistance of Hampden awl Sidney to the illegal exactions of the Crown, the resistance of the American colonies to the stamp not and the tea tax, though appropriate in Fourth of July or other public harangues, can not be cited as caves is point to a court and jury who are bound to decide this cause according to the laws of the Stale, an declared by your Legislature and construed by your courts. We are here to decide according to the law as it is, not to deliberate what it ought to be. A true verdict, which you are sworn to render, most accord with the evidence before you, and the law as expounded to you by the courts. Neither courts nor juries have sovereign or legislative power to annul the laws, where we consider them unwise or tyrannical, productive only of corruption on ono tide and individual hardship on the other. When the demand fur great public. kora% e memo, by means of C 9 0 .1419 and Railroads, brat commenced, no men doubted the power of the legislature of tho State to make them, and to burrow money, contract loans, issue bond,' and lay taxes on the people to pay both principal and interest. Tot very many of the citirens were orposed to the exercise of this power, and protested that it was in fact ruertagaging their property to nation improvements whose benefits, if any, would tie experienced but by a portion of the people That this system of lavish roar rowing and expenditure by Stale officials would be the react of mach corruption and Crawl. if not anticipated, might easily hare been fe eeeee n. it was pursued, nevettheltbi, lilt the State had accumulated a debt of forty cultic-no and ended only when F4O had lost _her ore-lti, and could borrow no mar: rho great panic in 'col? and IS-13, which redact:! the State I, a short Luca to a elate of paid.' or temporary insolvency, pot a sudden atop in this eyctem of milking pub tin 1., 010 G.,,rnm.nt at the ex pense of the !Caro-. The expenatt tire of Fneh immense sums wade nn.l nil were delighted with the AyeZell, idea liAey Fiat. pas!, an] the hard times, with direct taxation to pay the interest, had arrived, no man thought of repudiating the debt because it was inconvenient to pay. or be cove pet.ple who lived out of the State had no opportunity in cute for fit against it: or becaure each particular law had not been babel:luta.] to direct vote of the people. When, therefore, credit wan TVltlecitaltd, and money became plenty, seekiog investment and , subjeout of ePoOol$ 00 .; when the 1:1311651 for railroads again spread over tho CULIIMMIIIy; when it was anticipated that trury raiiroad, tram any place to any other place, or no place, would produce large profits nn the Investment, would convert villages Into-cities, make entry city a Loudon, and double and treble the value of lArv.l In every eouuty through which they passed—the Sta.,' being unwilling to in volve herself in any further debt and rick 1,1 sec ond insolvency, the scheme of city, county. and even borough suhscriptions, was 'evenlyel and put in practice This had the appearance, if not the reality, of greater joetice and fairness that the original plan of state subscriptions for the distant coon tics end boroughe whom , people were not brae. fitted by a particular road were not compelled to pay for maktog it, and only these who par. took of the expected benefit would have to pledge (heir credit for the cost of lie erection In Ibis respect only, this schema differed from the former, and when the legislature would no longer pledge the credit of the whole State fur loans for thin purpose, they authorised the Is. ferior inutticipat i. corpirations to pledge their own if they saw' They were presumed to be the best judges;of what would contribute most to the properly of their respective constituents as corpormore The inhabitants of clues acted through their own councils or legislative repre sentatives , the county as a quasi corporate body, by their commissioners These officers were elected directly by the people to attend to their interests consequently the Majority must gov ern—a minority must neommarily submit to laws enacted by the majority. If the officers elected by a majority had authority in ithe premises to make a contrast, the minority cannot repudiate it. Those who opposed or refused to fitment to the act, may with good conscience question Ile validity and deny the power of the majority to bind them. Bat if the act be decided to he legal, they cannot refuse their submission. If they' have the benefit of the constitution and laws for their protection, they must be governed by theta not construed by their own courts, elect ed for that purpose. The fact that the ROW of their officers or legislators have been unwise, nod instead of Increasing the wealth of (ho peo ple have turned out disastrous, cannot be reason for refusing their obedience to them. They are their own acts by Imputation, whether they as sented or not. After these genernt remarkerlet us proceed to exessioe the questione properly arising In the case. lied the corporate authorities of the city of Pittsburgh power to bind the people or corpo• raters by the bonds or eecurittee in queetton ? On the solution of this question your verdict will depend, for I find no dispute about the ma teriel facts in evidence. As there aro three several and distinct set of bonds issued to three several corporations, ti oder different Acts of Assembly and ordinances of the corporation, It will be necessary to notice them eeparatety, for it may be possible that the officers may have acted without authority in one or more and not ID all. The first in order aro the bonds given to the Allegheny Valley railroad. lo support of their authority_ore - have been referred to the followlog Acts of Assembly • Ist. The brit Act effecting this subtjeot was plumed on the 4th day of April, 1837, entitled an Act for the incorporation of the Pittsburgh, Manning and Warren Railroad. Although thus named, none of these places aro made no cutlery points on the rood, or termini thereof; for the company is authorized to make a road from. "the Allegheny river at the borough of Franklin to the Ohio river at or near the borough of Beaver." This however is immaterial. The first section authorizes certain commis sioners to open books and receive eubocriptiene to the capital stock, and when 2000 shares aro enbocribed and sf.. paid on each share, they are to certify this fact to the Governor, who Is au thorized thereupon to leans letters patent consti tuting the eubecribere a body corporate, etc. By the second section of this Ant it le enacted that "any intolporated company, city or borough shalt have authority to subscribe thereto as fully as any iadividual." !The 17th section requires We road to be enamoured within five years and finished within ten years, otherwise the charter to be veld. 1. No charter over lased, nor wu any corpo ration constituted under this act, within the ten years. 2. But on the 16th of March, 1847, an oat wu passed called a supplement to the first, extend: ing the lime for commencing the construction of , tho road tilt the Bret day of June, 1862, sad of 'completion tin the tint of June, 1862. B..b.second aupplamoat "Morita. was pulsed April -34 18451, gulps the ogicf 1414 w (11-, MMEMM though no company WSW yet inacivirratad, ) an • thority in constrict a road froniTittsburgh'to Kittanning and thence to the New York State line, and repealing so .mach of the fleet act as made Bearer and Franklin termini or points thereon. . . -. 4. Oct the 10th of January, 1852, a charter of incorporation was issued by the Governor to the Pittsburgh, Kittanning and Warren Railroad Company. 5. Oa the 14th April, 1352, a further supple ment woe passed, changing the name of the cor poration to the Allegheny Valley Railroad Com pany, and making some other changes. Section 4 enacts that it - shall be lawful for the counties and cities subscribiug to the e t ok, "to pay the amount ey their subscriptions, if orecd upon IT the parties, by the transfer of storku held by Met in other incorporated companies, G G Section 5 enacts that the sliveral note of the General Assembly, limiting the' amount of cor porate debts of the-cities of Pittsburgh and Alle gheny shalt not percent either of said cities from sub seribing to the stock of said company." Have we here any authority to the defendants to issue these bonds and the coupons annexed" This is a question of great magnitude and im portance, and my MOO of responsibility is some what relieved. by the knowledge that any opinion I may have hastily formed may be hereafter re viewed by another tribunal. And as I have neither leisure nor opportunity, in the haste of a trial at bsr, to defend by argument the conolu 'lions to which I have arrived, I can but slate them briefly, without attempting to vindicate their correctness. The municipal corporation of the city of Pitts burgh, though It acts through a epeeist legisla ture, elected by the citivene, is invested with special, not general powers. is may pass ordi nances in regard to its internal affairs—to pre serve the peace and the health of the citizens— to regulate the streets of the city, and in fine, all other matters connected with it, which come under the denomination of internal police for the government of the city. It may borrow money for the special purposes of this trust and author ity confided to them, nod lay lazes to raise money for these purposes. But it has no power, by virtue of lie act of incorporation, to exorcise any discretion in making ordinances for the con struction of canals, turnpikes or railroads be yond the territorial limits of its jurisdiction. It cannot compel the aitizeneto become partners or stockholders in private corporations or pledge or encumber the individual property of the chi cons in speculative undertakings. Its powers are only co-extensive with its duties. Hence the necessity of a special license from the Legislature to municipal corporations to subscribe for stock in such corporations. Whether the Legislature of the State may confer upon the officere of such municipal corporations the power to bind the people of a city or county by bonds, and to bnrthen them with taxes to raise money for external objects, even of general public inter est, or to compel them to become partnere in nay and every incorporated association, is a question on which much difference of opinion exists. In this State, however, this question has been decided by your own Supreme Court, the only authoritative expaundere of your constitution and statutes. To their decision it is our duty to sub mit without questioning its authority. Assuming, then, that the Legislature has the constitutional power to authorise the officers of a municipal corporation to bind the oorporators by instruments such as those now decided ou, with nr without their individual consent—have they declared it in clear and distioct terms" It is 00 important and ilangerous a power to be mistimed from inference or construction . Statute may invest a corporation with powers contrary to the general ruler of law, bot they must be granted in clear and unambiguous terms. They will not be implied or presumed, and they must be exercised according to the strict interpretation of the grant " (Wilcox on Corp , 2G.

The first 'rifled la by virtue of the authority conferred by the third section of the act of 21st April, 1652. [flare the Court read the section.; tiara we hare a direc t) authority given, not only to subscribe tar 5000 thane tI the stuck of the Railroad Company but also to borrow money to pay therefor and make provision for the principal and interest of the money en borrowed; but it is also enacted that 'inn certifi,ete of loan or bond shall be for n I.D. Fun" than $lOO, and 1, to arteirrntl. only on tics Gooks of ike city." Are these bond. and coupon& within the authority thus conferred' illond read.) The Lade do not set forth how they are to ho transferred, but refer to thin art, which authorines thole 00030. This suit is, on the coupons provided for in the law The coupons are not directly authorized, but the covenant of the hood Is to pay to the railroad company, and their assigns. On the back of the bond is endorsed a blank power of attorney to make an assignment on the bookk ; hut no assignment has beerrmade. The interest in but on Incident to the dal, and unless the plaintiff had the bond seaigned to him according to the act, be has no right to de• mond the interest. There le no 00Taakal tO pay to the bolder or bearer of the bond, and the in terest is duo only to the legal holder by assign ment, and cannot be made payable to a third person. The sot gives no authority to the city officers to make each negotiable instruments having a different mode of transfer from the bonds to which they were attached. When a bond ie payable to bearer, She bearer of the coupon dhows a prima facto title to koe the in. tercet, because he woe owner or holder of the bond when be cut it off. 'Nit When no one can show a legal title to bond bat an assignee of the bond, there can be no presumption that he ie en titled to the interest, by mere possession of a Coupon. The plaintiffs cannot therefore mirror on the evidence on any of the comports taken „from the bonde of the first home Second, as to the second iFfIUO. The mot is different. (Act of May 8, 18(r4, p 27, read.) This act does not restrict the bond to assignees on the books of the oity, and provides for and authorises the Josue of coupons. lIL Lastly, the Chanters Valley Railroad. (Act of the 7th February, p 6, read.) Here is full authority to make the bonds and coupons transfcrable, as shall ho directed by the oily corporation. There is no city ordinance shown directing that the bonds 'hall be coupon bonds, brat the corporation has issued them in that form. It will be presumed that it was so directed by them. I see no reason why plaintiff should not re cover on these coupons on the evidence In the cane, if believed by the jury. Thirty-els points or prayers for Instruction have been presented by defendant's counsel. The first ten arerefused; the eleventh haa been given in the °barge; as to the twelfth, it matters not who paid the treasurer fer - his trouble; the rest of the point Is answered in the affirmative; the thirteenth is refused, as also lbe fourteenth, except as already given; fifteenth refused; nix ttenth, the sot authorizes the issue of coupons; seventeenth is given u prayed; the remaining points were refused, the court deeming them mi• Decant, and superfluous.

Judge Grier had delivered his charge in the Ochlriche case, the case of 0, W. Howard ra Crawford County was taken up at the point where it had boon left on Tuesday night. The subscription of this county was for 4000 shares in the Pittsburgh & Erie Railroad, to pay for which $200,000 worth of bonds were issued. The contract of Mr. Howard we Stated on yesterday morning. The prinoipal point in the case seems to turn upon fraud, alleged to have been committed. This was on this wise. There woes paper, bearing a recommendation of the Grand Jury to (ho Court, to subscribe ter the stook in question, and another paper, being a request of the Grand Jury to the Commission ers, that the whole matter should be referred to the people of Crawford county. Judge Church was eworn—The two papers [the recommendation to subscribe is on blue tinted paper and that recommending a refer ence of the matter to the people is on white paper,] were not originally joined together; the blue paper was written by Mr. Reynolds, and presented to the court by the grand jury; I was requested to draw up the white paper by earn, of the grand jury; it was en a whole °heel; I folded it across and directed it to Commissioners of Crawford county, on the outside; an hour or two afterwardo, after the grand jury had been discharged I saw the paper I had addressed to them in the Commissioners' office; I think come of the grand jury signed It there; in May, 1858, I saw those two papers, (showing them) the blue tinted and half the sheet on which I had written, fastened together by wafers; in 1853 1 saw the blue paper in the clerk's office, and it was not attached to the white; the papery, in getting to gether, had got the endorsemeote upside down. Mr. Pettis, for defense, now offered the pa pers, being the recommendation of grand jury not to issue the bonds till the people had a ,thence to vote on; also the deposition of the foreman of the grand jury that they had not recommended the subscription until banded over to a vote of the people. Mr. Pettis contended manfully for his causal every step. He had a very large amount of testimony in the shape of documents, official and other, which he submitted, part of which was admitted by the court and others not received. Our columns arc, this morning, so overloaded with legal matters deeply interesting to our own county, that we can ilud no space for such a re port of this case as we prepared ourselves to give. Suffice it to say that the defense contend ed that the fact of the two papers being together, out of which fact it was attempted to infer fraud, was not a badge of fraud; that either separate or together, they did not import fraud on the part of defendants; that the recommendation of the grand jury was ille gal, inasmuch an the act of 4th May, 13.511, re quired the jury to make the subscriptions, and they transferred it over to the people, to decide whether the county should subscribe or not; if the majority of the people approved of the re commendation upon the blue paper, then it was to have effect: if they disapproved of the sub scription, then the recommendation to have no effect. Moreover, the county subscribed s:Rel,- Mt, upon the express condition she was not to pay interest until the road was finished: and it is unfinished and abandoned. The defence, haring brought la such proof as they had prepared to substantiate these points, hero rested, and at 5 o'clock the Court adjourn ed The speeches on the case will be made this morning.
