IMPORTANT DECISIO.N—THE ARMY VOTE
DECLARED UNCONSTITLITIONAL.
Judge Woodward, of the Supreme Court, ren
dered an important decision this morning, in
declaring the entire Army Vote, cast at the last
election, unconstitutional. The following cases
were before the Condon which decisions were
rendered, viz:
The Commonwealth vs. Joseph Kunzman. Error
to Philadelphia vs. opinion by Woodward,
concurring opiniou by Read. Judgment
affirmed.
In the case of Chase, from Luzerne county,
the "army vote" is pronounced unconstitutional
—and a decree made giving to Chase the office
of District Attorney. Opinion by Woodward,
Thompson dissenting.
In the first case above quoted, in which a
decision is given, a person was prosecuted in
Philadelphia city for illegal voting at the late
election, while he was in the service of the
country as a private soldier. The defendant's
...counsel argued before the trial was had, that
the indictment should be quashed for reasons
that the whole army vote was unconstitutional.
This view of the case was sustained by the
Judges of that emit, and the indictment
quashed. The Supreme Court sustains this
decision.
The second case came before them from Lu
zerue county, in which county the candidate for
District Attorney, Mr. Chase, who had a ma
jority in the county but was defeated by the
army vote, took an appeal. His opponent was
declared elected by the return judges, and the
judge for that district. sustained that decision.
The Supreme Court however decides the army
vote unconstitutional, and thereby declares Nr.
Chase elected.
This decision will make some important
changes in several officers elected at the last
election. Robert Ewing, who is now iu office
in Philadelphia city as sheriff, will be obliged
to vacate the same for his opponent, Mr.
Thompson, who had a majority of several hun
dred iti the city. It makes no changes in the
result In this county.
A BOLD SCHEME TO DEFAME AN HON
EST MAN.
We received, yesterday, a copy of the last
issue of the Philadelphia Sunday Mercury, in
which the following paragraph was marked
for the purpose of attracting special attention:
Hon. Mourtow B. Lowry Ainurarao FOR
notice that Hon. M. B. Lowry,
one of the members of the Senate of Pennsyl
vania, was arrested for perjury, for swearing
falsely and maliciously in a suit in which a
Washington firm was a party.
The first reading of this infamous announce
ment, convinced us that the statement was false
in every particular, and that it was another of
the base means which the officers of the Bank of
Otunmerce, at lErle, have lately adopted. to
bring Mr. Lowry into dlsgrrce, because that
gentleman had done the business men of the
Commonwealth some service in exposing the
rottenness and corruption of that concern. On
further Inquiry we learn that the arrest of Mr.
Lowry was as wit bad at first considered it, a
mere blind; a perfect failure to establish a single
charge contained in his warrant of arrest, so
that after a prompt examination, Mr. Lowry
-was tor promptly discharged by the anthority
before whom he had been arraigned.
Mr. Lowry at once, on his discharge, had
warreuta Issued for the parties in whose name
.
he. was first arrested, the result of which wait
to hold these parties in teu thousand dollars
bail to answer in the courts of Erie county, a
charge of false arrest and malicious prosecution:
!Thus the 'tables have been turned ou the pimpil
of the Bank, and we now demand that the
Sunday Mercury publish this fact, in vindioatiOn
of a gentleman whom it so grossly libelled in
Its last issue. We trust that Mr. Lowry will'
push this prosecution to its fullest extent. If
l'egistators, in the-honest prosecution of their
°tidal duty,, and in the discharge of a high .
trust while endeavoring to protect the communi
ty trims sharpers and swindlers, are to be thus
baselY:Balled without redress, our legislative
Lally will soon be deserted by men of character
and integrity. The friends of Morrow B. Lowry
ask no judicial vindication of his character to
encourage them in their confidence for the
man,. but he owes it to himself, in this instance,
to administer a severe lesson to his traducers.
, Wa ALMOST Duras, of having the same in
fluence and producing the same effect on the
iiatiiokby our disinterested councils and cen
cures, that resulted from the same labors in the
case of the clergymen referred to by our neigh
bor this morning. In the case of our reverend
friends, it required only a single admonition,
(severely couched, we admit, but not too severe
for the desperate characters of the cases,) to
bring them back to humility, loyalty and die
oration. No better Union men now exist than
these identical clergymen, if we dare Judge by
their sermons—while, if we are allowed to
judo by the same rule, uo meaner sympathizers
with traitors now wield pens, than the traitors
who control the Patriot. And still we don't
despair. While these writers are out of the
reach of the grace which prevented our clerical
friends from wandering too far from the path
of, their duty, there is even hope for the Patriot
people. If we cannot council them to loyalty,
we may be induced to purchase their adhesion
to the : truth. They are so accustomed to this
description of barter, that they can be had for
M very small sum of money. At all events, our
duty towards the Patriot is to denounce 14
treason and expose ite mendacity ; and this duty
we shall matinee to perform, until we have
*Utter changed its disposition or crashed the
little !Whence it yet possesses.
THE SPECTACLE OF WAR
The announcement, yesterday, that another
call would shortly bemade on the Governors of
the loyal states, for additional troops, seemed
to take no one by surprise. The news was ac
cepted as calmly as if the troops to supply the
new demand were intended to grace some holi
day, pageantry, instead of fill np the gap made in
our armies by the havoc of battle ; and we I
have no doubt that when this call is formally
made on the Governor of Pennsylvania, he can
furnish ten or twenty regiments in as many
weeks. Our people begin to understand the
crisis in which they are involved. All classes
of society appear to appreciate the conditions of
such a demand, and thus the treat spectacle of
war is becoming familiar to a nation which two
years ago, regarded war as one of the necessi
ties which was the least likely to press upon its
attention or eradiation. Take, for instance,
the state of Pennsylvania. With more than
one hundred thousand men under arms, direct
ly enrolled as the contribution of the state to
make up our quarter of the national demand,
and with at least twenty-five thousand men in
I regiments furnished by other commonwealths,
we do'notieef, while we thus contemplate the
magnitude' of the war. Our contribution of
soldiers has not effected a material interest of
the state. It has not lessened labor or in
creased the demand for laborers. To some
extent, perhaps, it may have done this In cir
cumseribed localities, but as a general affair,
the business or the prosperity of the common
wealth has not in the least been diminished or
effected. Families may feel the absence ,of
friends, and, as we have declared, localities in
one sense, may feel the loss of MOD; but in no
degree has business been affected in the aggre
gate, because the interest impaired by the
rebellion, has given rise to others through the
necessities created to crush rebellion, and thus
the labor that we supposed to be on the verge
of vagabondism, through the stoppage of the
traffic of one section of the country, finds
employment in the business growing out of the ,
prosecution of the war.
The greatest spectacle of the war, is the
manner in which men rally to the support of
the government, and - the means which all sec
tions of the country contribute to sustain our
armies in the field. Before the call issued by
the President for the " three months men,"
some of the most experieneed military men
in the country ridiculed the idea of raising; a
volunteer army of one hundred thousand men.
The proposition was preposterous—and even
were the number offered, the recruits could
not be d6ciplined for many months, to fit them
for active service in the Held. We all know
that these objections we r e exploded. The
world knows that the raw recruits engaged
in this war have accomplished as much labok,
fought as valiantly and won as brilliant vip
tortes as were ever achieved by the trained
soldiers of Europe. The people of this country
have proven the possession of truer qualities
of the soldier than the people of any of the
countries of Europe. They have proven that
they are capable of a higher condition of die
cipline ; so that while the spectacle of this
war is one grand contemplation for the citi
zens of the 'United States, it must also be one
of awe inspiring fear to the people of the
world. And yet our military force is but half
developed. Such calls as were telegraphed
to the loyal governors a day or trio since will
prove this fact, prove it by answering the
summons, and then inviting another for per;
mission to furnish more Men to drag dowia
treason to theAlsgrace and death it mot*
and thus end rebellion by crushing out its inflit
mines forever.
PSNNBYLVANIA biIIOOKNIOAL GENIUS 18 admit
ted to have produced some of the grandeat and
most practical results by its invention and ini
provement of machinery. The latest acknow
ledgement of this fact is by Mr. Coneas of thb
Patent Office, who says that, there are man*
abroad who claim the honor Of inventing me:
tallic Jefeneive armor for ships. It has beef► '
generally ascribed to Gen. Paixhan, prior to
the year 1841. The inventor Is Thomas Gregg,
of Oeillogsviile, PennsylVania... , Mr. Gregg bad
a patent issued to him lu 1814. He describee
in his specification a vessel with angular sideS
"all around," covered by a dr*..k. to glance tI4
projectiles of an enemy upward, - while the shot;
striking below the apex of the angle, will
glanced downward. The angulAted system of
,ship building, as exhibited in the "Merrimads.",
and the frigate recently launched at Philader 2 ,
phia, is claimed to be invented by Josiah Jones
of the British Navy, as late as 18 1 59. Mr. Gregg
invented this a' half century before. So of
metallic shields ; Mr. Gregg's vessel was "tci
be coppm:ed or covered with iron."
Thus metallic defences and angnlated sides :
in ships were not only first invented in the
United States, brit a mechanic of the State of
Pennsylvania was the first to discover and dem-,
onstrate this great practical measure. The fir:
practical embodiment of the idea was the Monitor.
It is Interesting to remember that the first great.
improvemept on the old mode of navigation,
from a simple sailing vessel to a steamboat,
was also a Pennsylvania invention. Robert
Fulton was a , poor Lancaster county black
smith, yet directly to his genius can be traced
the magnificent steam palaces which now ply
the waters of the world.
Govsatios CURTIN is covertly attacked in the
Patriot this morning, because he granted a par
don in the case of a certain:criminal. , We un
denifand the objecf of theie `insinuation, but
the public may not fully comprehend that no
pardon is grantedi by Governor Curtin, unless
the petition is accompanied by the appeal of
the judge, a portion of the jury, and certain
members of the 'bar. 'ln all cases the most
extenuating evidence is required from men of
the highest character before such pardons can
be had. . This the Parfet understood—but
Goiernor Curtin was denied the beneat of such
an explanation, andsubjected to an insinuation
as mean'as it was,'&ntenptible.
Vmarrua holds her election to-day. A
Governor, Lieutenant GOvernor and Attorney
General are -to be chosen. Besides these,
county officers are to he voted for, in all the
counties. There are no candidates in tile field

THE WAR IN THE WEST.
EVACUATION OF FORT WRIGHT
BY THE REBELS.
THE REBEL GUNBOAT FLEET NON EST.
The Enemy Fall Back on Fort Randolph.
An arrival from the fleet stateethat on Mon
day "a flag of truce went around Craighead
Point, for the purpose of exchanging released
prisoners, in accordance with an " arrangement
made some weeks since. After waiting some
hours the boat returned without being met by
the rebels. late in the afternoon one of their
boats came np and effected the excliartge.
It is believed
. among the officers that the
rebels have evacuated Fort Wright and fallen
back on Fort Randolph, as no rebel gunboats
could be seen around the point.
A reconnoissance in force was sent down by
Commodore Davis to ascertain the position of
the enemy, but had not' returned when the
boat left.
[SECOND DISPATCH.]
Cmceoo, May 21.—A special dispatch td the
/Imes, dated near Fort Wright on the 20th, says:
From indications made apparent yesterday it is
clearly evident that the enemy have evacuated
Fort Wright and fallen back on Fort Randolph,
a strong fortification on the second, Ohicka4w
bluff, twelve miles below their lormer posi
tion. •
The , officers of the flotilla, who went down
the river yesterday with a flag of truce,re
turned with the intelligence that'neither tro ops
nor :gunboats were , visible, and` that Fort
Wright and the river as far as the eye could
reach were deserted.
Towards evening a rebel craft came up with
a flag, Of •truce, and the exchange of prisoners
was made. No explanation was offered as to
why ourflak of truce was not answered In the
morning. Taking all the circuthstances into
consideration, there is not the least doubt that
thh rebels have left.. In their new position they
can maintain a more thorough defence, and be
less exposed to the fire of , the mortars.
