THE SUPREME COURT-THE FRAa-
rHTgE law TAKEN Tp

THE SUPREME COURT-.THE FRAS-
CHIsE LAW TAKEN Up
In the regular course Of proceedings
the FIRST case before The court yesterday
morning was that from Rutherford comfy,
of BromGeld L. Ridley u.s. Sherbrooke,
Commissioner, etc. When the Ease was
called, Hon. Edward II. Ewing. Of coun-
sci for the relator, announced to the
court that there were five cases appealed
from different circuits, all touching the
same subject, and involving the constitu-
tionality Of the franchise law, and he
proposed to the counsel on the other side,
as a matter Of convenience to thecourt,
that all these cases should be Nesented
and argued together Mr. Wiseiier, of
counsel for the defense. replied that the
counsel for the defendants would not be
prepared in less than two or three weeks
Mr. Ewing rejoined, that although the
plaintiffs were ready and anxious to try
the cases and have these questions set
tied, another week would be given to
allow defendants counsel time to pre-
pare their briefs. (Which it was again
replied that they would not be ready in
less than three weeks
Thereupon, with the permission OF
the court the case Of Ridley resus
Sherbrooke having been regularly
reached on the docket, it was taken up
with The understanding that three
speeches should be- made on behalf Of the
relator by Messrs Keeble, Ready and
Ewing, and that the counsel for the re
lators in the other cases should file their
briefs without oral argument, and that
the counsel for the defendants may Gle
their briefs la convenient time, or argue
the same when reached on the respective
dockets
The argument was then opened by
Hon Edwin A Keeble, who delivered an
elaborate review Of the legal and consti
tutional points involved with a citation
Of the principal authorities His effort
was eloquent and ornate, aud, as "a pre-
sentation of the great issues, perspicnous
and comprehensive We are unable to
present even a synopsis Of II this morn
ing, and must content our readers with
the assurance that it was m effort which
altogether sustains the high reputation oi
the distinguished author
A large number Of the members Of the
bar OF this city and from the surround
ing counties were present and gave the
most profound attention to the proceed
iugs
We deeply regret the manifest disposi'
ton on the part of the defendants, to
stave Of and postpone the hearing and
decision Of these most interesting and
important cases and are wholly at a loss
to account for the desire for delay, unless
it arises from a consciousness Of the
weakness Of the cause, and Of shame that
after three-quarters of century, the
judiciary are called upon to decide wheth-
er the people Of free republic shall be
allowed voice in public affairs.

RADICAL DISREGARD OF LAW-THB
LATE CHATTANOOGA ELECTION.


LATE CHATTANOOGA ELECTION.
At the recent municipal election at
Chattanooga, the Radicals, as usual, I'M
dertook to take the matter into their
own hands The result was G series of
suits between the old city authorities and
those claiming to have been elected In
the petition of the old Board of Mayor
and Aldermen, the following facts are
stated in relation to the holding Of the
election, which aptly illustrates the Radi-
cal disregard of law, and their desire to
obtain and hold office by force and fraud
That on the 9th day Of December,
1866, an election, etc, was held, bet in
such an informal manner, and so in viola
ton ofthe amended charter, that the judges
who held the same refuse to certify any
result. The charter provides that the cleo
ton shall be-held by three judges, two ap-
pointed by the Mayor and a third chosen
by TIE two. These judges we're appointed,
and we're proceeding to hold the election,
when Abel A Pearson, Commissioner of
the Metropolitan Police, appeared at the
polls, or place where the election was be-
ing held, and demanded that the election
should be held by the Sheriff of Hamilton
county, and threatened to take charge of
the ballot-box in case of refusal. The
Judges being aware of the fact that he had
the power and disposition to execute his
threat, and to conciliate, requested C. +.
Lewis, Mayor of the city, to hold the cleo
ton, which he did, the judges remaining
in the room. The said Pearson, with his
police force, remained about the polls, and
he and his officers did actually arrest and
carry from the polls many persons who
went there for the purpose Of voting, basing
the arrest upon pretended charge which
was never reduced to writing, supported by
affidavit, or put in any legal shape, and
above ordered, when they had announced
their purpose of keeping those arrested
from voting, many other legal voters as
complainant believes, were thereby deferred
from attempting to vote. After the polls
were closed, the ballot-boxes were carried
a considerable distance from the place Of
voting, and were out Of the possession Of
the indges of the election a considerable
time before the counting was commenced.
The number of votes counted were consid-
erably greater than the lists kept by the
clerks showed had been given in, and when
il was proposed by one of the judges TO
compare, the ballots were, BY some person,
thrown into a fire"
