H >? indicted un,1er the s.-etloij of the Election
?ai ob which th? Indictment was found,
The opinion li ?rrltten by Judge O'Brien. He
nvs th?1 th? appeal presents no substantial queo
jcin which would justity the Court in Interfering
sits Um ? ?: : ' an'' ''''" Judgment must therefore
be affirm.- i ah ih.- Judaea .-oiu-ui- in this decision.
In wilting his opinion Judge O'Hrien says:
Th>- (acts In the ease Illustrate a most singular
fon.'itlon of things in local government, ami an
extraordinary Individual eareer. The counsel's ar?
gument that the section of the Election la?v under
whioh th.- Indictment was found does not apply
to MeKan. s cas?, might very well have been
address?-,! to th.- Legislature before the law was
Baaed The contention that lt was legally lm
?essiMe for the defendant to commit the offence
charnel cannol hold good. There was no direct
srldsnce that the defendant counselled or advlaed
the Inwectors to conceal the registry lists from
th, pobllc,
Tha. th. li spectors, not onlv In the First l)ls
tr.ct of Urav. send, but In the other districts as
a*eO, wilfully neglected an l refus.-.i to give the
public access t.. the lists ,?r an opportunity to
copv them, an 1 that they In fact concealed them,
traf established bj abundant evidence.
After reviewing the flrrnmatanr? which led up
to MeKane'? arreat and Justine Oa*rnor*a effort to
get espies of tho Omveoond registry books, ju-ige
?'Britn says:
The fact that so many public officers were at
the mme time, in the Mme wav and by the same
means eithei ? lively i in ni'.'.iiig or conniving at a
?K-hen.- . ? a false result of the election,
?eggest ?? ence of s-.m..ntral fleure and
Hing mind as the author, and all the
ctrcanstai es pointed to tbe defendant as that
person. He alune had the power, t.-..- means and
the ?
Th- singular position of power and Influence
Which h< h.-ld in the town was an Important fa<-t
in the chain of circumstances. It would be quite
tedio:- rat.- all the various ofllcea that
he held m th the power attached t.? them, it Is
within the limits ..f the evidence and sufficient to
?y that there is scarcely any power of local gov
tr*in-..-nt that can !,.? exercised In a town, whether
ggalnlstraUve ..r political, that was r.-.t concen?
tr?t?-,: in his person, anl even the Judicial power,
? represented by th? local magistrates, was sub?
ject to his Influence. This sufficiently appears
by the wholesale arrests of the watchers and other
j- nona on and befor?- the day of the election. In
a town which contained such places of resort so
Coney Island and Sheepshead Hay, privat? busi?
ness was centred largely In hotels, saloons,
theatres, racecourses ; nd other forms of amuse*
ment or entertainment, and it was all so far de*
U] ?:. police protection and official favors
idd i.reatly to his power and Influence. He
sraa tbe superintendent of tho Sabbath-s<-hool of
th- Methodist I'hurch and seems to hav.- . \
a potent influen e upon the religious Ufe >>f the
people H- ha', been elected Supervisor of the
town daring eight successive terms unanimously.
Inning nearly all 'his time he controll.d the
| :...- ot the town.
Whatever cause he fav red, and whoever the can*
? re, the vote of th- loam
m .- rec rded in that way, whether the election was
r. whichever ,>f tbe two groat
I pardea 1 I, th- rote was s.? nearly
unanimous that waj as ? -arcely to conceal tbe ;.??-'.
th.u it represen:. I In i gr--.it i.-g.-ec the will or a
?male man. A curious Instance of that kind oe
! at the Presidential election In ]V\?>. Prior
ti that time he had been attached to the r>em*
cratic party, but In consequence of some disagree?
ment with the party organisation In the county he
supported the Republican candidates that y?ar, and
th?-y received substantially the unanimous vote
of the town The ?.?me result was In a great meiis
ur- Mcured in the same way In the two subsequent
<? ? ? lectlona In the election of IKO he was sup
; ? -j the Iiemocratlc can !ldaten, and th? rir
ajmstances Indicated that he was Interested and
?t.x. ? mal;.- this support as effective as possi
b'.t. The possession of th:s enormous j?ower for so
Viv.z . period naturally made him ambitious to re?
ta:, It, ami intolerant ?<f ail opposition.
Another fact appears which tended to promote the
su ess uf all political measures and candidates
Whlc he favored There was really no division of
th- v ?ten opon th<- i-arty lln?-s. There was In the
limn, it la true, what war called a Republican or?
ganisai .s well as a Democratic organisation,
but th- evl lence tende?! to sbOW that the defendant
?a controlled both that neither was able or willing
to atabe any earnest or effective opposition to hi?

Albany, n ,v. _7.-ThJ ?'ourt of Appeals to-day af?
firm-i. with coata, the order of the General Term
ta the matter of the applleatl n of the city of
Brooklyn t.? acquire the pi ?petty and franchise? of
the Long Island Water Supply Company. Judge
Gray ?rote the opinion In the case, the real of the
Ju Ige? rjonenrrlng, n,- saiii in part:
i*__?_fw*,-r r"T"i'-'"iy claims to have an exclusive
franchise to furnish ?rater in the town of New
?VuiS. .,.? ?!? ""'>v ? l':tr! ,,f Brooklyn. It also
claims that th.. act of MM authorising the city to
,''?..". aPpe,an?? i?'"i'?Ti.v in- con.lemnatl n I?
unconstitutional. I'pon thla appeal the question of
the amount ol the award is n.?t one we can, or
would, review. There la nothing in the statute
which either In ternw, or by Implication grant? to
?ae corporation formed und.-r it an exclusive ri/,-ht
tosupply the town with water or which precludes
otner persona II they can ?secure an aaaeni from the
authorities to th.-ir application, from forming an
otner company to supply water fr.nn other ?ourc ??
!?> the Inhabitants .if the same town or village. We
think it clear upon authority that thi statute under
which th? s'atei i.ipany was Incorpor?t. I,
couched in general terma, a charter secured t?j
compliance with It? terms does not ?faut to the
company an exclusive privilege or franchise to sup
ply water to the town or village, n r preclude the
?rant ??: another charter for a similar franchise
The contract with t!i<- company was exclusive .?n.'v
In the sense that no similar one could be made
whim would infiinse lu part lev :ar property nui.ts,
nut It ili.l not preven) the town from contracting
for a further or other supply of water. We cann .t
assent .to the View of the company that its ?'X
cluaive nullt to furnish water vas affirmed and es?
tablished by the provisions of the annexation law
Of IW,
In the last place, we will briefly eonsMer the
ptopoaltlon that the condemnation act of is;?':, which
authoiiaed this proceeding, la .-?constitutional and
void. The important point In the argument upon
this proposition is that the prii triple which forbid?
the taking of a ctttsen'a property, except ( r a
necessary public use, requires for the validity
of the legislative a.-t that the particular public um
be designated, whereby the property becomes Im
pressed with a trust for the benefit of the public,
and that n.?t nily this act is defective in ih
spect, lmt .t gave no opportunity for a Judicial d< -
termination of i ti?. queatlon ??f tin- us?-. In our judg?
ment, however, while it may have been better i? _ ?
latton to hav.. fixed and limited th?- particular us?
for which the city ?>f Brooklyn was authorised to
a quire .ml i??>'. 1 the appellant's property, the aci
is val?.I.
Th" appellant's other point as t.? th.. un - institu?
tional! ty ??!' th? .ut i? tiiat it authorised the con?
demnation ?>f property which is already l \ ?ted to
a public us.-, without designating any difieren! or
larger public uae t i which it is to be applli l. We
do not think that there Is force in this objection.
