AN IMPORTANT CASE
The Supremo / Court is just rendered
% - t decision reversing, the judgment of the
Ituphin County Court in the case of the
Commonwealth vs. The Credit Mobi lief
of America. As this decision may be of
great importance to the tax',payers of the
Commonwealth, we will briefly state the
features of.tlfit case, and the importance
of its insult.
The Credit Mobilier of America is
simply a corporation created by an Act
of ASsembly, passed in IRIS, by the liana-.
of the Pennsylvania Fiscal Agency. The
act of incorPoration vested it with most
extraordinary powers. After some-years
the name was changed to that uf, the
Credit Mobilier, and the franchises were
purchased from the original corporators
by some New York and Massachusetts ,
capitalists.-In 1867 this corporation phis`
-a chance to use some of its extraordinary
PoWein to some purpose 7. The Union
Pacific Railroad Company had awarded
a contract to Oakes Anies, of Massachu
setts, to build six lundred and sixty
seven Miles of its railriiad for some
fifty millions of dollars. This was an
enormous enterprise, even fur Sr great a
business man as Antes, foal be deter
mined to shield his private fortmiii from
the riSks offhich an under( ski skiug t uudcr the
corporate privileges of the Credit Mad
-lier, if that were possible. To effect. this'
he entered into a tripartite contract, with
seven poi-sons, of the second part, who
were named trustees, nod the Credit Mobiv
lier of the third pari..
• - man-Les
'agreed to :vile, the mad, receive the'
price, and pay over to the 40,-/,/fshier,l of
the Credit Mobilier the profits of the
contract. ' The Credit Mobilier agreed

of the hands of Ames, and the parties pro

that, and tho — dthEr . :Stochliolders were
his But what has the State or
the tax-payers to do with these arra»ge
merts - We will try to tell. ,
By the act of 1, 1808, a tax *RS
'imposed upon the - Clipital'stock of
-'rations, to be measured by the dividends.
-Under-this act the Auditcir General Made,
an assessment on • these nine millionfkof
dollars, dividends mild to the stochholdr;
era of the Credit Mobilier,'atounting to
'about half ,a of dollars. The'
company, appealed from this assesSmont,
and:the case - was tried before Judge
Parson, and a verdict given in favor of
the Commonwealth for- oven $400,000.'
'There' - are 'settlements ncAv pending in,
the'-;Auditor , General's-' office which
amount to about art:ranch moroomd'
which will he determined by the final
decision, se;that the State,is interested
to the extent •of nearly a million of
dollars in this suit.
Tho present s.lceigion•--ef, the -StiPriStriii
Courts in:effect sot aside the verdict of
th‘o Codrt below, and takes a new trial
necessary. The reversal is madtti for the
reason that the article of agreement does
not vest the right to the contract and its
profits in s til° Credit Mobilier, 'but in the
stockholders, and that it was necessary
for the Commonwealth to show by the
proof that the corporation, and not its
individual stockholders,. were really the
owners of the contract under the assign
ment from. Oakes Ames. If, therefore,
it can he proved that the contract was,
transferred to the company, and that the
words of, the agreement were merely a
blind," the Common Wealth will recover
its entire claim, as there is no doubt of
the power to tax the corporation under
'the act. If there is no testimony beyond
the agreenient to show this, under the
present rulillg thpre will be no redovery,
and the State will fail to get a very large
sum of money on which her officers
counted confidently,
If this case should nut be decided ulti
mately in favor of thn'Commonwealth, it,
will afford a striking ,instance of the
power of shrewd, able, and sagacious
num, to make certain combinations which
entirely evade the , plainest provisions
and intent of the law. Thd whole ques
tion in the case turns on a distinction
where-there is and can be no difference.
If the contract had been expressly given
to the Credit Mobilicr, its stockholders
would hark just received the same profit
and in the'same preportion as they have
done. The entire transactions would
have been identical. But it was the de
liberate purpose of these parties to. evade
the payment of 'the taxducthe State, by
declaring that the profits should go to
the stockholders according to their re
spective interests instead of the corpo
ration. Whether or not they have. suc
deeded will be determined by the final
trial. Altogether it is one-of the most
important cases ever tried in this Com
monwealth.
Or'n - Democratic friends, who rue can
didates for nominations for the different

tlemen desiring to ,be Congressman,

mary election is over. • Who are going
to win the lace, is somewhat problemat

we outside radicals have no means of

There is quite aright on all time important
nominations, except the Legislature, for
which Leidig appears to have the field.
But there might be trouble even there.

it is batter to wait for the results than

IYM publish to-day the opinion of the
Stprome — Conrt 'refusing to open the
judgment in the case of the Common
wealth vs. Dr. Paul Selneppe, for the
reason that his ease did not conic within
the provisions of the act passed lMst
winter. The ruling of the Court is liter
ally correct, and unavoidable under the
circumstances ;' but there is no 'doubt
that the law in question was passed for
Dr. Selimppe's benefit, and but for his
case would not have been passed. Tt
will be noticed that. the Cotirt, rit;gards
the act „very unfavorably because
it provides no means for the taking
up. or the evidence, and also that
the whole policy of the act is ln•ouounced
mischievous.
AT On. last Reeling of the Supreme
Court it was ordered that the fudge
holding Nisi. Prins Court should decline
"to exercise the jurisdiction conferred
by the Act of Congress, ou, the 'subject
of naturalization." This isia good thing
both for the Curt and the people. 'This
naturalization business- has heretofore
heen conducted by that. ('Dort iu such a
way, ❑s lo excite grave apprehensions

1' tit: new Constitution hasdtecn adopted

MINORITY REPRESENTATION
This a : subject which is .growing
portance, and which will come up among
the political issues of Bin- country, at.' no
distant day.' Mr. ''Buckalew.made it a
hobby whibi in the United States SOnate,
and during last. winter he had inserted
in AoVeral borough charters which he had
in Charge, a provision for cumulative
voting, for all "Aides where it was prac
ticable. The convention of Republicans
from the minority counties, which met
in Philadelphia, on the fourth, strongly
recommended minority representation.
But the adoption of the new constitution
of the State of Illinois, is by far the inost,
important movement in that direction yet
taken. Ibis there 'applied to the eleCtion
of represent:dived-to the lower branch of
the legislature, in a very simple and el
feetual maul sr. The State is divided
into lifty-one d, filets for the election of
Senators, and each of these districts is
entitled to elect three members • of the
House of Representatives. Each voter
ilpermitted to cast three ballots, of
Nnich may be for one candidate,:or he
may divide them among the ... candidates
as he sees
i proper. In this way, the mi
nority if t number buy more than one
third is sure of electing too of its candi
dates, and there is less danger, in every
way, that, the voter-will hi_ completely in
the power of the dominan t .pnrty in his
'district.
This is no lin ay Measure. Men of both
political pm ties favor it. o r disapprove
it, on what they consider its own merits.
.11re are decidedly in favor of the princi
ple, and Will favor its application wher
ever it can be applied. There is very
little use in giving a nian the ballot
when his surroundings tie such, that he
cannot make it be felt once during his
life. M i met ies have • every right that
Inailnilies Mire, except the right to rule.
The tendency of an unrestrained major
ity is always to grow politicians, who
make their own interests their guide, and
care for nothing beyond what benefits
them. • , Whatever will reduce this-evil
will be a blessing, and wo believe the
minority experiment worth trying.

The Crawford co . unty light l'or Senator

with the utmost vigor. In Erie county.
Mr. Noble received tlie nomination, and
there has yet been no conference. Noble

fendant find to make hisapplication with
in thirty days„ or if the cause shown be
insufficient, the case i., at an rod tinder
the act of 1800, the bills of exception fall
and the judgmeot, stands for execution.
In this case a special application ('or a
writ of cruet: was made within thirty
days to Chief Justice Thompson ; who,
after conference' with Beet! and Sha rs
wood, .1. .1., (theY concurring with
found no sufficient cause to allow the
writ 01111T0r, and it was therefore refused.
The prisoner's counsel then applied to
the Attorney General for his consent to a
writ ()fervor under the I hi rty-t bird section
of the act of. 18110. This section applies
to writs of error in all cases of indict
ment in the courts of', narter sessions,
and oyer and terminer, and does not
embrace the Cases of murder and volun
tary matiskinghter specially provided in
the fifty-seventh. fifty-eighth and filty
ninth _sections of the same act confining
the allowance of the writ to the Supreme
Court as before stated. The act of 18(10
is a revision of all the criminal laws of
the State by a learned commission,
headed by that eminent criminal law`Yer„
.Ttulg,-e Icing. It cannot be supposed
they intended the several parts of the act
to'eontliet with each other. The Mona
kt ion to thirty days and to cause shown to
the court IA faller or (me of its judges, is
ipeompatible with the issuing of it writ !
• of error upon the mese tionsent. of the
Attorney General at any time afterward.
The Attorney General, however, from
motives of humanity, and the point not
having before arisen in practice, gave his
consent, and the writ of error was issued
;old heard before us at Philadelphia.
But the defendant having failed to bring
on his of exueptions under the ally
ninth section of the act of 1800, it Ineame
evident that, the writ of error thou
bronght, before us brought up nothing
but the common law record, ill hick it,
was not preteffiled - there
,wits any error.
The judgment of the Court , of tips'. and
Terminer was of course affirmed. Thus
(lie ease passed into final judgment for
the affirmance ; being by the highest
court ii the State there could lie no writ
of error to it. Thisijudoment being'elf
dred, the record(was remitted t o the rt
below on the fourteenth day of Effinuaiy,
.1870.
' On the fifteenth of February, 1 - 870, a
law was passed allowing writs 'of error
in cases of-murder :uul voluntary man--
slaughter as a matter of right, iv ithollt
special thmlieation under the act of 1
The case of' Paul Scboeppe having been
decided hefore the passage - rif the act, he
has obtained a second Writ(f error from
the prothonotary, claiming_ Las_amatter
of right under the bite act, and thus writ,
is now before us. The Commonwealth,
relying on (Co jlidgment of affirmance
under the former writ, has pleaded that
jwlgment In bar of th is writ. The tot of
1870 applies-only to future writs of error
and to those pending in this court when
the law was passed. Filial judgment
having been rendered, and the record
re
milted on the fourteenth of Pehruary,
the oast was not, pending I)( . ..l'ore.us ou
the fifteenth, when the law was passed.
The plea in bar must . theteffire prevail.
The defendant's eminsel perceiving this
unavoidable result,' ruts moved us to (Tett
the judgment , of affirmance, given in the
fernier writ of error, in the hope that. We
may, on opening it., treat the ease as a
'writ penning at the passage of the law,
intending then to apply to it the provis
ions of the act of 1870. This motion is
also before is and involims two questions,
one upon t power of the court to open
the former
,ffidgment after the torn' had
expired, and the other upon the applica
bility of the aet of 1870 to the case if the
,ffidgment should be opened.
It Is not necessary to decide the ques
t ion 'of power, Inn it is opposed by ati-
Glorify amt SIMIs sprung reaM,IIS. The
Commonwealth vs, Ma110y,,7, P. P. Smith,
decided- against. the exorcises of this
power by the Courts (.1 quarter Sessions
and Oyer and Terminer. after the expira
tion of the term, notwithstanding t rule
has been entered to slum' cause against
tie sentence) The same reasons therein
given would seem. to apply as well to
this' court. The fact that we act as a
court ()I' rhvieW to e(nr6et, the errors of
lower courts Joel not seem to
,ffiseify a
revision of our own final judgments.
The - law requires an end of litigation,
and admitting the power, litigation may
never come to an end ; for the same
power will enable Ins to renew the judg
ment. of reileW, :11)(1. SO 00 Mies ydie.g.
The English auth or ities are agaiust the

not, decide at this time, it-is very clear it
can lie exercised by us -only where we
have made a. mistake or committed an
error which justice requires us to rectify,
Judicial , discretion is not the pleasure
of the court, nor the arbitrary rcsffilft of
our will, but is governed by soiled jiffig
ment founded on good reason and cell-
trolled by a conscientious convietiA of
right. In 'this case there has been no
mistake made ' 110 error which our sense
of justice calls 'upon. us 'to correct. It,
cannot be - pretended' Witt 'our jedgmene
on the fornier„writ of error wasincorrect.
We are non as firmly of opinion as then,
Ant the 'defend:nit had
. his day under
the act of 1800, and no remedy remained
tohim under that act. - We are now as
- firmly - of the - opinion as then, that - the
writ of error. consented 'to by the Attor
ney General was improvidently issued,
and brotightuip with it nothing but the
common law record. it; then:fine, we
should now open the judgment in that
case, it would be an act 01' questionable
power in the first place, and one ofmpre
sympathy in the second ; and not 'the
oxercisp of aptind kidicial discretion.
But •
'filufillewe permit sympathy to
override judgment how is the defeed

Writ of error was' not pending at the pas

final judgment was rendered before the

'Cord. we 'open it to consider It anew,

1870, for , that - - did' not orninace. it, Ind
by fordo only of our judicial discretion,
which can remit us only to that Which
we passed upon beforc,-in order to con

Having 'then no ground of error or
Astake in Our former -judgment, the
act 0f.1870 having no applipation, mid
the defendant being in no bffter poal
tion by the opening of the - judgment, we
are'compelled to decline opening it.
It is not improper before doing so to
say a few words.in reference to the act
of 1870, to draw. attention to some or its
defects and to the radical. change in our
criminal jurisprudence it will produce.
It was,passed for this case, but owing to
the Governor's veto it came too late. It
is another evidence that laws which aro
the offspring of feeling are seldom wisely

season is approaching when considerable
real estate will be in the market in Cum
berland county, and We desire'to call the
attention of the owners of such property
,to the fact that the CARLISLE HERALD
is among the best, if not the best medium
in,which to advertise. Every season we
shiiw a large number of properties o7o,red
for sale, iii fact almost all in the' - dOunty,
so that our paper has in latter years be
come a recognized medium for advert
iug the sale of real estate. We circulate
largely in all parts of the county, and
among the-most substantial men.
When the time comes to advertise
property sales,. those alive to their own
interests, will heed these facts.

a descent upon a herd of fifty-seven

on a brisk rim for the mountains. This
outrage was committed to open day, at a
place about midway between Fort Whip,
