Mason and Wright: THE DECISION. this application for leave to file an informaticn m‘cm maturo of & quo warranto, sgainst Mesars. Wright and Msson, for unlawfully intruding into the the Police Commissioners of the City of Chi- office of b ‘cago, it is nocessary that the relators should show, with bability, that, in fact the respond- e Ve an pfl;msan:y}mw‘imt Localia i 1o tho ents, Wright and Shien, "{ba duties of which they aro wrongfally exer- cising. There aro other things, to be sure, which it 1 necesary for tho relators {0 show, but fhst is the 1main one. N R “Tho lew, approved March 6, 1872, provides hat ¢ in Sl cities of thia State, all city officers whose election by $he qualified voters thercof isnot provided for by law, and also all members of boards ary under the Charter or amendments thercof, of sny such clty, ex- Cept these appointed by the Governor of tho Stste, £all be sppointed by theMayor of the city,by and with fho coneent of thio legislative suthority thercof, » ma- Jority of all the members elect corcurring by yeas and s, 0 be onterod upon it journsl.” “The ground Tmon which relators rely to shaw that the respondents tifle to the office i8 not valid, is that they, themselves, ihe relators, were elected at the general election in the fall of 1872, Ly the voters of Cook County, to thoso offices, and that they were commissioned and quali- fied, Tf they themselves were mot invested with tho tille to that office, by tho election, then they show no ground upon which tho respondonts’ titlo {s invalid ; Becanse the invalidity of the respondents’ title, in the iz that it 18 put by tho relators, results from the po- sition which they assume, {hat they themselvos wero fhe proper incumbents of the ofice undor the election. Thie manner in_which the respondenta camo o the ofica 18 met set out in the aflidavits, and tho mode adopted by the rolators to impeach their title, however 1t muy hove accrued, is by ehowing that they them- scives had the prior title, ‘and that, therefors, .in no ‘manzer conld the respondents have's valid titls, Tt ia neccssary, then, to inguire further, whether, in fact, this office wes an eloctive one, in tha fall of 1872, 161¢ wsa notan elective offics, and, a3 the only defect in the respondents’ title is inferential from the allega- ticn thot the relators were elected to the ofiice in tho £all of 1872, thero is nothing shown which in any way tnvalidates, or terds to_invalidate, the respondents’ title. For tho relators it 18 said that this section’of the Iaw of 1672 does not include tho Police Commissioners of the City of Chicago, for the reason; first that tho Board of Polics wus not organized under the charter, or amendments thereto, of the City of Chicago, Now it is true that the first organizstion of the Board of | Tolice was under sn act of 1801, approved Feb, 1, Thich was entitled An act fo establisha Board of Police in and for the City of Chicago, and to prescribe tueir powers and dnties,” not in terms professing to bo sn amendment of the city charter, but the effect-of 1o was to change the entire organization of the police force of the city, that is, the government of the polics . force of the cify. It operated asa repeal, by repug- Dance of many provisions of the city charter which was bafore_in existence, and substituted other provi- sione for them. - X y then, it was an. 2mend- Iment in effect, although not 5o declared by the Legis- Iature itself. ‘And, besides, in the common sense view of it in that manner, the Supreme Court itself, in one case which T have before me, in 25 Tllin 192, in reference to sn act which was entitk *‘An act to nmend the cherter of the City of Springfield,” said it amounts to no more than An amendment ot the gene- iring taxes collected for county purposes ral law req 10 be paid into the treasury of the county; €0 thet, if o suthority were necessary, thero is that remark of the Supreme Court upon the subjact—that it is not es- sential, in order to constituto an act an amendment of nnother, that it shonld be declared on the face of it to £oboan amendment, If it is in fact a change, a sub- stitutlon of otber peovisions for those previonsly exist- ing, then it is an amendment. “That the Comsmissioners of the Board of Police of this city oro embraced in this sct of 1872, s under'the charter, or any thereto, I believe is not questioned; considering act of 1661 as an amendment o the dlty board organized under sn amendment of the charter of tho city, and the Commissioners aro not_sppointed by the Governor of the State, 80 that it is within the fetter of the sct. ‘Then the constitutionality of the act §s guestioned, though without any particulars being pointed out in which it is objectiopable. It hss been the law of this bbb G} 4 s ooy ed, mod strained, or re to guif the ever- gencles of the Btate, 'The Gity of Chicago is one of tho ‘Public corporations of tho Btate, esiablished 28 8 part of the police of the Biste, and its charter is not only Eubject o change by e Legialature but 1t has been very frequently chan 6 Legls] oven on Thta matier of slecting Police Commissioners: In 1851, the Board of Police consisted of three Commissioners he charter of 1863, iho Mayor vwas added to Board ; the mede of selocting Commissionzra was not ged. 1865, the Mayor was stricken out of the Board, and the mode of election changed by 0 electora of the whole county he eloctors of the Police Commissioners, The mode 7 of filling sacancieawas changed by substituting the Board of Supervisors for the Common Council. So 4Eat there have been frequent changes, and without question. Nobody ever questioned the power of the Legislature o change the mode of electing the mem- ers of the Board, or the power of the Legislature to change the number of its ‘members, either to consti- tate the Doard of three Commissioners, with the Mayor, or by three Commissloners without the Aayor, 1t scems o me, then, upon that single ground, that tho office was not eléctive in the fall of 1872, but was to be filled by appointment by the Mayor, with the approval of the Common Council; that there s no vaid attack upon’the titls of e réspondents to the cffice. 1 agres with the counsel for the relators that, if thero is & new, important, and_doubtful question fo be set- tled, leave to fila the information Ahould be granted: Now, while this question is newand important, I canfiot seo the least plsusibility in the posi- tion that 1t i3 doubtful It seems to mo to be clear beyond all _question that the modo of filling tho offico of Polico Comminsioners of the' City of Chicago was changed by the act of 1873, clection by the poopla of the county to appointment b the Mayor, with tho approval of (e Cotmaaon Council, 0 that it is quiteunne for me to inguiro into the power of the Mayor to Temove the relators, be- cause, ugon their own showing, they never had any title to the office, and they show no invalidity of titlo of respondents, except 28 the result of their own prior valid title. Nor do they ahow any other interest which would justify the Court in permitting them to be rela~ tors in aitacking tho title of the respondents than on the ground of their own prior valid title, Still, the whole act goes togelher, and, by the samo section, tho Mayor has the power 1o remove all thess oficers whom he has pcwer to appoint. It is no unu- sual or unprecodented thing thist the Chief Exscutive officer of a Btate or nation should Lave that power, How it may bons {0 cities, I do not know ; but subor- dinatoofiicers of tho nation, and frequently of States,— more frequently formerly than Intely,—wera eubject to removal at any time, by the Chief Executivo,snd withont any verbal or sufficient cause for removal, Thoy were subject to Temoval at the mere pleasnre of the Clifef Executive, In this ection the Mayor is required “to state hisres- 80ns for the removal to the Commmon Council,” but that operates only 2 a check upon him, & sort of moral re- sponsibility to his constituents, and & regard for his ovn consistency, by showing that hie did mot act from mere caprice or whim. Possibly an unwarrantable and tyrannical exercise of poser might subject him to {m- peachment,—1 believe there is eome provision in the City Charter that he may be impoached,—but the pov- er of removal is subject to mo check whatevor, It is zbsolutely discretionary with him, under this section, “vhether he will remove or not. 1t is not in fact before me, how the respondents did getinto the office, because it is not ehown. Tobo wurs, the counsel agres Lere between themselves bofore Imesa to how they got in, but upen the pspers it did not appear how they gotin, Theattack upon them 18 fnferential from the prior aileged valid titic of the Telators, and, in my judgment, they mever had a particleof tille. It being alleged that they were in ofice by virtue of an election in the fall of 1872, when the Isw did not provide for any election, of course they never had anything todo with the office of Police Commissioners rightfully, s fo the policy or_impolicy of this Law, of course, the Court Las Docthing to do with it. The more fre- guent trouble of Municipal Governments is imbecility, atter than tyranny, 1t mayhave been thought that tha City Goverament would bo more efficient if the rosponcibility was devolved upon the hesd of it to sea that all the parts wera kept in order, than it would be if it wza subdivided into independent hesds. It is establialied by a long series of cages that, unless there f2 apparent room for questioning the title of a party 7ho is in office, the Court will mot grant feave to filo the information; that u party who {5 exertising the dutics of office ehall not be sub- jected fo the vexation, the expense, &nd the harass- ment of 2 law suit, unfoss it is ahown that he is prob- ably wrongfully exerciting his functons. I think there Is no showtng whatever that theso partes, the respondents, are not rightfully ex: the offl nd, therefore, leava to le the information 14 no granted. A LITTLE DISCDSSION. Mr. Gondy said that thero wes much donbt on the point of the constitutionality of the Mayor's bill. The bar held widely differing opinions in regard to it. e Court was not aware of it, having never heard any discussion on the subject. B Mr. Goudy had no idea that any resistance conld bo msde to filing the information ; nor bad hesuy ides that the Court would gecide questions which had not been argued, but sim- ply stated. He desired to say that, as his cli- enta had mo other mode of g)roceoding, they would be compelled to renew the motion before the Ju;i.‘ia who held court next week (Chief Jua- tico Williams.) The Court saw no improprioty in that. There had been some conversation on the preceding day relative to tho jurisdiction of the Court. Ho supposed the leave to filo tho information ‘might be applied for to the Crimina), Circnit, or Superior_Court, bocsuge, while the Criminal Court had jurisdiction in' all cases of a criminal 2nfl quasi-criminal nature, yot it was not de- clared to be exclusive jurisdiction, and, there- fore, all the seven ‘ng(i"au exercising common 1aw ‘jurisdiction might be successively applied to for leave to flo the information, and, if any ono of them took s different view from the Court, M. Goudy could get what he wanted. ‘Mr.'Goudy simply stated, as » matter of cour- tesy, that his clionts shonld feel bound to mako farther application, Ho did notundorstand that the matter waa decided. i The Court did not think it wasa res adjudi- cata. As in an application for habeas corpus, ono Judgo refusod, another could be applied to. He did not think any member of the bar who hsd regard for the interests of his clients would ive them up becanse one Judge, with whom ho ered in opinion, had decided against them. Mr, Goudy thought not, when he had mado up his own mind, and the Judge was tho other WaY. 3 > g ANOTHER JURY-FEES DECISION. The Superior Court Olerk Applies to the Court for Directions--Judge Porter Decides for Oup Payment To and Kro—His Honor Re- cordsn Plain Opinion of the Injustice of the Law. Maf. Stephenson yesterday applied to Judge Porter for his opinion 58 to the legal fees payable to jurymen. Judge Gary declining point-blank to acquiesce in tho orders of the County Commissioners 28 Te- gards tho Criminal Court, and st tho sama time to interfere with tho Supcrior Court, over which he considered Judge Porter to havo jurisdiction in this question, it became tho obvious duty of the Superior Court Clerk to obtain the opinion of tho latter, andto govern himself accordingly. Besides, it wag not in nature to longer rsist the protesting jurord without the nuthority of his' own Court. His Honor delivered the following opinion: The provision of the law is, that jurors in Cook Co. “tghall recelvo only, for thelr services, ten cents per milo sctunl travel going sud coming'fo ” court, I think the corroct construction of this provision s, ten conta per mile for the distance from the juror's resi- dencs to tho conrt and_back Dy the routo he actually travels, The phrass, ““sctusl Lravel ” s restrictive, and infended to oxclude ¢ construetive travel,” or pre- sumptive travel by any route longer than tho routo actually taken, and not to enlarge the meaning g0 as to include ail the distanco traveled in golng an indefinite number of times back and forth, If the ltter meaning Dbad been intended, I think it would have been cx- prossed. When tho allowance is thus mado of ton permilo for tho distance both ways, tho _gener- orlty of the law, I think, is exhausted. In my judg- ment, the law, though well intended to effect one ob- Ject-"riddance from ‘¢ profosslonel jurors "—is ua- Just ; s0 manifestly so_that in construing it, no argu- ‘ment can be based upon any sup, fairnces of tent toward the juror, Justice: toward the.juror, T think, was wholly lost sight of in tho ensctment of the Iaw.

Aldermen Vho Tried to Solve the Garbage Question. Cholera-Breeding Material Found in Abundance, A Shocking State of Affairs in the Eighth Ward. Everybody Anxious to Shift the Responsibility. A'mooting of the special committeo of the Common Council appointed to make an investi- gation into the garbage question was held yes- terdsy afternoon. Thore wire prosent the Mayor, Alds. Cullerton, Corccran, McGonniss, and Heath. Tho Committes liad drawn up the following report : That they have carcfully investiyied the subject matter to which the communication refers, and have visited & greater part of the West - Division 'to obtain from personsl jnspoction the true coudition of that rt of tho city in respect o the romoval of gar- 0, &e, by the scavenger. contractor. The condition 'of the strects of * the Eighth Ward, m to fih and deposits of eurbage are worse than ever before known in tho Listory of the ward Buch an nccumulation of disgusting Alth was never ‘efore scen in the streets of any city. Scarcely a block can be found in the ward in front of which scorea of cartloads of garboge, ashes, straw, rage, and filth of various kinds cannot be found, whila tho alleys are so fillod up with manuro and garbage that, when tho frost . comes out of the ground, they will be wholly impassa- Dle. Wo found the streets and alleys in other wards al- most as bad as in the Eighth, and the condition of the strects and alleynin the West Division,becausoof tho de- posits of garbage, manure, ilil,otc., aresimply disgrace- fal to any civilized community, 'That the contractor for the seavenger work has not fulfilled his contract— in fact, that hie hos notmade even decent pretense of #0 doing~—1s a notorious fact, and Woll known to the Jeoplo o ol the dlstricts froth ‘which, by bis con! o agreed to remove the garbags, The Doard o Health has been remiss in its duty in not having for- feited the contract last summer, and in not baving found some one who would have rutaoved the garbage, Your Committeo can find no excuse for the Board for 80 neglecting ita dury. Your Committeo would recom- mend, in order to provent ublichealth, that the Financ Tastructed to confer with tho Board of Health, and, in tho event that this Board cannot cause the removal of tho Alth and garbage from the strects and alleys under tho present cohtract, that eaid committee may report such measures as it may deem necessary to mect the emergency. Dr. Roed read = report of the contractor’s de- linquencics, already published, and’ very.volu- minous. = Ald. Heath inquired of Dr. Recd whether the eshes were included in the scavenger's contract. The Doctor snid that he understood that they woro. Ald. Heath inquired whether itwas not the duty. of the Board of Health fo prevent the throwing of garbage into tho street. Dr. Roed said he thought so. ‘Ald. Cullerton mquired whether Mr. Downie, the contractor, had not mado & stipulation that ho should not 'be required to Temovo garbego. from boarding-houses. Dr. Reed said it was 80. Ald. Cullerton inquired if the ordinance did ‘Dot especially require that it should be removed from boarding-houses. . Dr. Reed said it certainly did. But the Board had regarded boarding-houses as coming under the hoad of *special™ bage factories, and this was apparently tho right way to look at it. Ald. Heath sgain asked whothor the Board could not insist upon housekeepers complying with the ordinance. Dr. Reed complained that _though housekoop- ers had been prosecuted and fined, things had been at sixes and sovens. . Ald. Henth said that his observation had shown him that the offal was frequently put out 1n flour barrols, which no man could handle. The ashes wore mixed with garbage, animal and veg- otable refuse. Dr. Reed said that this mixing had been s for- tile source of trouble, and the Iaw would be on the side of the scavenger, should he refuse to Tomove it. ; Ald. Cullerton reforred agein to the report of Dr. Reed relative to the specifications. He ‘would like to hesr from the Mayor. ‘Tho Mayor eaid he was ox-ofiicio member of the Board of Health. When the contract was got up he was now to the duties of his office, and deferred to the experience and viows of the Board. Tho bid struck him then a8 exceedingly low. It was for 240 day. The Mayor had be- come_convinced that to remove the garbage would require forty toams at least, and this could not be dono at €1 each. Hs un- derstood that there had been o spocial contract to carry away garbage from hotels and eating- houses. On an examination. of tho law, bio found that these men could not bo com- polled to comove fhia gerbage. This was_removed by mon for tho purposo of feeding hogs, and tho contractor had supposed that he would have nothing moro to do than his predecessor. But after tho fire, these inde- pendent_scavengers ceased to come round, and tho wholo of the work %a5 then thrown upon the contractor, who waa thus compelled to do all the work. It bocame evident that oither tho con- tractor’s bond was to be forfeited or some other arrangement made. Then came the horse-dis- caeo, and the garbago sccumulated _fearfully, and then tho winter followed very suddenly. Ho had been pressed by some membors of tho Board of Health to tako money from the contingent fund and bave moro teams pat on to do tho work. Tho Major did mnot like to do this, but paid. the contractor £2,000 more. The contractor had done more than hig money called for, but not as much as his bond demanded. His roecollection was that the contract cxcluded hotels and eating-houses, ‘but the city could not -compel keepers of hotels and boarding-houses to remove their own nwill. Herotoforo there had been mno difficulty in ro- moving garbage from hotels, but_corn was so cheap, and hogs 80 low, that it did not pay the independent scavengers to clear away gu{mgu from hotels gratnitously. Mr. Sutton stated that botween Throop and Lomis, and Jackson and Adams streets, the garbage was invariably thrown into the alley, and his tenants in cottages in that neighbor- hood,-bad complamned. Tho garbage had been Ieft in the slloy all the scason. The scavenger lad made no attempt to remove the garbage, Ald;_Cullerton_read tho contraci made by Petor Downie with tho city. Itwas found that the contract called for the removal of all garbage not producedin * special pursuits,” under which head it was eupposed that boarding housos, tav- erns, and hotels were included. The contract read throw no farther light upon the subject, until Dr. Reed pointed ont a clanse which ehielded the unfortunate_contractor from the duty of removing ashes. The bond requir- ed that he should remove all the pounds of tlesh ho desired, end moro also. Ald. McGonnis inquired what was expected of the Committco. Ald. Cullerton said it was to discover in what ‘manner tho seavenger hiad performed his work, ge wgum (happy thought) like to hear from Dr. auch. He heard from Dr. Rauch, who said that the contractor was not supposed to remove garbage from unimproved streets, and where * persons made ‘s business out of it.” It was an ex- ceedingly difficult mattor to perform this work, for tho reasons alrcady given, es- pecially a5 moro work was thrown upon him. The independent scavengers fed the swill to cows, and the Board had forced quite a number of cows out of tho city. 5 Ald. Cullerton said somebody had tried to shirk the responsibility of the garbage question. Did this amonunt of garbage come from tho “:fecinlpumni:" quarter, or not? The Mayor had said that according tg the charter— The Mayor said no, he hadnot. The omission to mention the ‘‘epecial pursuit” was the result of tho indepondent scavengers' operations snd castom. e _only spparent discrepancy was that Mr. Downie bad not removed all the mis- collineous garbage required in his bond. Ald. Cullerton said he had been paid £2,000 for this exempted garbage, and hence he was delinguont. Ald. Cullerton couldn't understand it. He ‘would like to ventilate the question. _Tho Mayor eaid bo had explained it several times slready. If the garbage in an improved alley, as complained of, was from boarding houses, Mr. Downio had not been paid for it. For cho coming year there would be no extras allowed, the boarding houses and hotels being included in thebond. That was what Ald. Callerton wanted. The Mayor said if tho city had not tried ta gat the work done too chesp, the work would havo b_cug_ dono better, and, seizing his bat, he re- Ald. Heath said the question was, whethor Mr. Downie had done his duty, and be wonld liko to hear testimony, Let some evidence be given. Ald. Bailey never saw a ecavenger in his ward rifhin eight months, except during the past ten v8. A Ald. Callerton said scavenger work had been dono easily in his ward. It was truo that the stroots were not paved. Justico must bo dono in tho case. g Mr. Downie said that he kopt everything going nicely until the horse discase came, and then winter followed. The occupsnts of private rosidences generally neglocted to place the swill nn;lvfinbuge in’ fl-‘opex vessels to be carried awsy. en the garbage was not ready for re- moval, the teams drove by. Mr. Bailoy had mado s false report. There was a nigger in the fenco, he know thore was. : Ald. Heath know that in his neighborhood the citizens did not put their swill into proper vos- sels for the scavenger, but throw it into tho al- loy. Whose duty was it to sce that tho citizen did his d:z? Dr. Ra eaid it was the duty of the Board of Health. Ald. Heath said then lot the Board of Health do its duty aud make the citizens perform their portion of the contract. Dr. Rauch said it woa & hard matter to sue the offenders. Thore was as much fanlt on the part of the citizens a8 on the scavengor. It wasim- practicable for tho scavengor work to extond over the city. Whers population was sparse, thoro wero cows to eat the swill. The vessels provided by the citizens wero stolen, or their contonts frozon solid. The difficulties in the scavenger work were grenter this year than any othor. There wasno doubt that the man had done more than he was paid for. Ald. McGenniss said, that the work had been abominably done, all were fully sgreed. Tho fi:oaz troublo was that the contractor had not en paid enough, Ald. Cullerton said that he had to make a re- port. What kind of a report could ho make ? Ald. McGenniss said there was only one re- port to mako, and that was to the effect that the york bad beca abominably performed; aad. that t00 small a sum had been appropriated for it. Dr. Rauch knew that by April s large amount of garbago would bo romoved. Ho wanted an additional sum of money. Ald. McGenniss moved that the Chairman write o report setting forth the facts, and leav- ing the blame to fall whors it ought. 'he motion prevailing, tho mooting adjourned. THE RAFFERTY SUPERSEDEAS, What was It ? * Omission, Tenornnee or Negll- gence ¢ To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Sm: In thoissuo of sour valusble paper of Febr 18, the Stato's Attorney published s latter containing statements unexampled for boldners, and to the effect that the telegram to Tz TRIBUNE from Springficld, announcing that Perteot’s neck was saved by the omis- sion of o mandste from the Supreme Court, was falso and unfounded. ‘As it was ourrently reported that Mr. Reed had taken Tegal counsel from thres of the best lawyers {n the city ‘before publishing said lotter, the statements therem contained caused quite o scnation among tho legal fratornity, and set them to looking up “ suthorities.” The books are plain and clear upon the question in- volved in the Pertoet and Rafferty cascs, First—The old comman Iaw doctrine s as follows : 4 Affer o rocord has becn removed to the Supreme Court, and a judgment hes been rendered, it 1s to bo remitfed or sent back o tho Court below, for the pur- of retrsing the cause when tho judgment has Beca reversed, or of ismuing and sxechtion whea it Das been affirmed. The actof so returning the record, and thawrit {ssued for that purpose, bear the name reulttiture,” Second—in_our latest statutes undor ‘ practice” overning our Sapremo Court is the following section: §Vhen & cause or prococding s remanded by th Supreme Court, upan s frangeript of the onder of the Supromo Court remanding tho samo belng fled in the Court from - which the ecausoc or proceoding was removed, snd not less thap ten days notice theroof being given to the adverse party or his attornoy, the causo of proceeding shall be Teinstated therein.” Third—In answer to tho claim of the State's Attorney that tho defendsnt waived his right o remittitur oy going to trial without making the objection, I wil stmply say that i the canso was not proparly befars the Court, and the Conrt had no jurisdiction, the de- fendant could not waive any of his righta by golng to trial without objoctions. ‘A waiver of objections, and going to trial canmot give the Conrt furisdiction. by This question has been docided by our Supreme Court within the past month, I¢ the jurisdiction of 3 Court could be watred by ‘parties going to triz), nothing could provent Justices of the Peace from trying divorco aui CrIcAGO, March1,18%. D * THE IRISH HOLIDAY. As St. Patrick's Day spproaches, the Irish element of our population begins to brighten up, snd makn preps- rations to honor the famous heliday in fitting fashion. The most prominent event of the occasion will be the fourth conusl banquet and ball of the Irish Literary Association, which comprises in fts rauks all creeds and classes of Irishmen, and which boa for its basia toleration and ‘menial advancement, The celebration Soctety will bo held on the ovening of St. 17, in the spacious hall of the on Markot, between Madison and Washingion sfroots.
