If any citizen is improperly denied regis
tration by the supervisors, we trust that he
will Immediately take legal steps to assure
his rights, instead of appealing to the ''trooly
loil" Baker. The district courts can issue a
mandamus, and no appeal lies from their
decision. This course is simple, and the
remedy is sure. One or two such cases will
be sufficient to settle contested point and
compel the supervisors to do their duty.

THE STREET RAILWAY VS.. THE OMNl-
Rus LINE.-This case came up before
his Honor Judge Good, on yesterday
afternoon, Daniel Peck, Esq, appearing
as counsel for the plaintiffs and James
S. Wheat, Esq, as counsel for the Dc
PENDANTS. Court being opened tine
counsel on both sides entered into an
examination of the case. The action
was brought as being applicable to the
second section of the city ordinance
relative to Obstructing the track OF SAID
railway; but it was urged that it would
also come under the intent and mean
ing of the third section of said ordi-
nance. As this section placed the onus
! probaadi on the plaintiffs to establish
that the act was done irilfully, it be-
came a question of doubt whether the
allegation could be sustained. There
fore, after due deliberation, the case
was dismissed at the plaintiffs cost,
We learn that there is some thoughts OF
enteringa suit for trespass and damages

ANGLING.-Y esterday was a day FOL
anglers. During the whole day men
and BOYS were at the mouth ofthe creek
fishing for Jack-fsh. We saw several
fine strings carried away, and many
others who sat patiently, like Grief
smiling on a monument, and did not
seem even to get decent nibble. This
demonstrates that there is science IN
angling. A person must understand
some of the manevers of the piscator-
ial tribe, to become proficient in the
art. The fish are said to be excellent
at this time.

RAIN.-The smiling countenances OF
our citizens, occasioned by the few
days of fair and fine weather they had
enjoyed lately, were rather turned to
sadness on yesterday when the rain be-
gan to descend in a gentle manner. AL
though it obviated the necessity of US
ing the street hose, yet the masses were
fearful of another two weeks rain. We
hope this may not be the case, as oul
farmers will be retarded in gathering
their corn crop. But the clerk of the
weather is bound to carry out the pro-
gramme, and we, poor mortals, must
not complain.

Editors Of the Register:
Ia your paper of Monday you accuse
me Of being inhuman and cruel, by
not admitting the dying and wounded
into my house during the late fire. !
did not refuse to do so still explained
to the crowd that my wife was very sick,
having been confined few days before.
l was then abused by the crowd and
called q id son of b-h, and so on
even my life was threatened. The very
time there was plenty of public houses
open all around ME and some of them
as near the fire as my premises: Why
were not the proprietors of those houses
asked to admit the wounded; why abuse
me, when simply stated the reason
and why threaten my lifa and the life
of my wife and childreni So l closed
my doors for my own safety. This, Mr..
Editor, | wish to come to the knowl-
edge of the public. l was then asked
for some bed quilts and pillows. Those
articles l could not furnish on account
of being locked out by some of my chill
dren, who were nearly frightened to
death. If my action that night was
inhuman and cruel, as you stated, it is
more than | can see into. l have been
always ready to help the suffering and

LET POLICEMEN REFLECTIVE pub
lish the following decision of knotty
point of law, delivered by Judge Ster-
rett, at the Quarter Sessions now sitting
in Pittsburgh, for the benefit of our pc
licemen. 1t is q point in which they
should be sure they are right. The
Dispatch says.
Judge Sterrett, at the close of his adj
dress, ssid: The whole case involves q
nice question OF law, and L expect that
counsel will raise it. That is, when an
officer, when called on to assist another
officer. does so without ENDURING into
the cause of the arrest, is he not liable
for assault and battery, if the arrest
should happen to be illegal, as has
been shown in this case.
Charging the jury, Judge Sterrett
said: We have no evidence that this
arrest was authorized in any manner.
On the contrary, you are to assume that
it was not authorized but illegal, and
gross outrage, so far as the officer max
ing it was concerned. 1t seems that
officer Raub approaching Smithneld
street, called upon officer Williams TO
assist him. Officer Williams did so,
without inquiring into the cause of the
Ilady's arrest. The Commonwealth
claims him to be guilty of assault and
battery, by reason of unnecessary harsh
treatment to Mrs. Dake while taking
her to the Mayors office. One of the
witnesses testifes he caught her by the
arm and ierked her when she was In the
act of stOopiag down to speak to some
little girls. On this ground OF rough
treatment as disclosed by the testimony,
il calls on you to convict. Let us assume
that officer Williams was right in assist
ing officer Raub in carrying out the
arrest. An officer in the eXecu-
tisn of his duty has right to enforce
the law, but IL is proper that he should
do so mildly and without unnecessary
violence, and if you find the defendant
, overstepped these bonds he Is guilty.
If he did not, we then come TO consider
was he guilty of assault and battery IN
helping to convey Mrs. Dake TO the
MAYORS office, at the request of Officer
Raub, without making any inquiries
into the cause of her arrest. On the
one hand he was not authorized to lend
assistance, it is claimed that the
} strength of the police force Will be
{ weakened, and on the other side the
public safety is involved. Our lnstrHc'
tion-merely on the law of this point
is that if Officer Williams, without IN
ouiries into the cause of the arrest, as
sisted Raub to take Mrs. Dake to the
watch house against hsr will, he is
technically guilty Of assault and bat,
terry. If she went voluntarily he is moi
guilty.
