THE VOTE OF PHILADELPHIA.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct 10.-The following will
be interesting in view of the coming election:
The number of names placed upon the extra
assessment lists this year, as appears by the
lists posted in several of the wards, is q 1874.
Last year the number was II ,004. The list of
the number of taxables assessed in each ward
at the regular assessment has not yet been pre-
pared by the city commissioners. The total
number is about $4,000, making total of tax
;ables in the city of about 161 900. The highest
vote ever polled at any election was 100000
In the Supreme Court to-day Judge Shars-
wood dismissed the motion for a rule on the
parliamentary of the court to show cause why
an attachment should not be issued against
him Tor contempt. The Judge defends the pro.
thonotary at great length, and in the course of
his decision says he believes the seal OF the
court has been counterfeited, and that false
naturalization papers are being issued with it.
The effect of this viii probably be that at the
coming election inspectors will refuse to re-
ceive the votes of persons offering TO vote on
naturalization papers dated in September,
which will throw out some 10000 votes
