Where TO Vote.

Judge Henderson, of Crawford
county, has ruled that the voters OF
one district cannot have designated
place il an other district at which to
cast their ballots. He declares the
law that permits voters to go Out Of
their district to cast their ballots Is
an unconstitutional law. The Judges
position seems 10 be so close mp to
the line Of common sense that the
soundness Of his position is not ques
toned by fgir minded men. The
question was taken into Judge Hen
derson's Court in a contest for a seat
in the Legislature, by candidates
Andrews and Highly. Andrews IS a
republican and Highly is democrat.
Blythe returns Highly was elected. An
drews appealed to Court in contest,
on the ground that two Of the town
ships in the county had cast their
vote outside of the limit of their dis
trict-each in an other election dis
trict-and if the unconstitutional
vote thus cast should not be counted,
he, Andrews, instead of Highly would
appear as the member of the Legis
lature from Crawford county. The
Court sustained Andrews position
and gave him q certificate Of election
upon which he was seated ut Harris
burg at its first meeting last week.
There are people in a good many
election districts in this commonwealth
that have during tie course Of many
years been in the habit of going be-
yond the limits of their district to cast
their vote in voting place in an
other district. Judge Henderson's
decision comes none to early to cor
rect the evil, and while Andrews is
the scape goat upon whom all the
cur5ts Will be heaped for taking
seat to which he was not elected by
a majority vote, be becomes the me-
dium through which one of the care
less and unconstitutional ways of
voting in Pennsylvania will be cor
rected. Highly will be sore over the
loss of his seat in the Legislature,
but he can console himself with the
orthodox expression, "that the death
of the martyrs IS the seed of the
church, and his less will he the
the cause of people voting in the
right place in their respective local
districts and thereby saving the
state from a more extended election
contest in the future on the same
question. Judge Henderson's deci-
sion is broad one. aad clearly
teaches, everyone, where to vote.

against the Pennsylvania. Railroad
Company for opposing their enter

Congressman Atkinson, and charged
him with being in the interest of the
Pennsylvania Company. The prob
ability is that Atkinson IS an attorney
for the company and has been acting
for them iu that capacity in the cGsc.
