fcribes for this class of voters If the badges of
legality are venting in respect to persons who,
p1inld fdcae, are not ent tied to vote, and they
aprear In undue proportion on the lists OF voters
we will not hesitate TO adopt the course pursued
10 Manrs case, and reject all such votes unless
by proof they are shown TO be legal.
And this course upon both OF these grounds
would have been adopted, in this case, If the
Introduction into II of the fraudulent army vote
had not made the principles ruled in Mann's
case inapplicable to the one nov before us.
In our judgment, it would be unequal, and
therefore unfair, as a rule of evidence, to
permit fraud like that which deprived the
contestant OF an Office, to which he was clearly
entitled by the regular and legitimate returns,
which defrauded the people of their elect
official to be balanced or weighed, much more
TO allow 1t TO be overborne, by evidence of a
greatly Inferior grade. Tue mere inference or
legal deduction from the premises mentioned
and upon which the respondent rests his case,
cannot be set off against the proof of Aagrant
crime the benefit of which has Injured to the
respondent, and by which the contestant has
been uniustly kept from that which rightCully
belongs to him.
For the reasons above stated, and upon the
evidence before us, IT BECOMES OUR DUTY TO
DECIDE THAT DAVID P. WEAVER WAS DULY
ELECTED Cry COMMISSIONER ON THE SECOND
TUESDAY OF OCTOBER LAST.

number OF these persons testified that they
owned the properties in which they lived, and
others that their names and business appeared
on signs on their houses.
These facts show how little credit ought be
attached to that which constitutes the chief
support of the respondents case, and upon
which he asks to be alto wed to advance beyond
The bounds to which the former order OF the
Court restricted him. But we think thut he has
utterly failed to make out a case which requires
us, or in which IL would be right,to protract the
hearing, by allowing time for testimony, which
il before us, and added to that already taken,
would not change or affect our opinion of what
the final Judgment of the Court should be.
In reaching this conclusion we desire to eX-
press ourselves, in the strongest manner pos
sible, as intending in no degree to shake or
lessen the force of what was said in the opinion
OF the Court IN the Mann and Cassidy contest
as to the right and the pro9riety, in proper
case, of going into an examination of charges of
gross misconduct of the officers conducting an
election. And 10 repeat, and adopt 1t as the
opinion OF the Court at this time, that such
conduct is, and ought to be, subject of con-
slderation, as connected with the investigation
OF election frauds"
And we also realfirm the opinion then an
nouDced, that where the entire proceedings
connected with the conduct of an election are
| so tarnished by the fraudulent and negligent
| acts of the officers charged with the perform
ance of the most solemn and responsible duties,
so that the returns are not intellgbe, or the
election, because of such fraudulent conduct is
rendered unreliable in such case, it may
| become obligatory on the Court to throw
| out from the general return the entire return
| of such election division. Nor do we intend to
| be understood as overlooking orquestioning the
| principle upon which that case was decided,
| namely, TO treat as fraudulent the names of un.
| assessed voters which appear upon the lists kept
| as a record OF the persons voting at an election
/ when the proportion of unassessed names 1;

PREMIERs AND PARLIAMENTs IN ENGLAND
Since the passing of the Reform act of 1882, nine
parliaments have been held in England. In one
instance only, that of Lord Melbourne, has a
parliament been dissolved by the minister under
whose auspices 1t was elected. The hrst re-
formed parliament was called January 23, 1888,
by Earl Grey, and dissolved December 80, 1864,
by Sir Robert Peel. Its successor was called
February 8, 1885, by Sir Robert Peel, and dis
solved July IL, 1887, by Lord Melbourne. The
next was called November 10, 1887, by Lord
Melbourne, and by that minister dissolved June
20, lS4l. The succeeding parliament was called
August 49, lS4l, by Lord Melbourne, and dis
solved July 2S, 1S47, by Lord John Russell.
Assembling on November lS, l847, under the
leadership of Lord John Russell, this parliament
was dissolved by Lord Derby, July |, 1852. Lord
DeIby's first parliament was called on November
d, 1852, and dissolved March I'll, 1857, by Lord
Palmerston This house, called by Lord PAL
merston April 30, 1857. was dissolved April 49,
1889 by Lord Derby. The conservative leaders,
second parliament, called May 81, 1859, was
dissolved July 6, 1866. by Lord Palmerston. The
late premier did not live to meet his second
parliament, and it is, therefore, difficult to say
whether 1t would have acted as the majority of
its predecessors, and turned out the minister
whose policy it had been returned to support.
SIZE OF THE WEsT.-Illinois would make forty
and Minnesota sixty such States as Rhode
Island. Missouri is larger than all New Eng
land. Ohio exceeds In extent either Ireland.
Scotland, or Portugal, and equals Belgium,
Switzerland, and Scotland together. Missouri
is larger than Denmark, Holland, Belgium, and
Switzerland, and Missouri aud Illinois are larger
than England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales
