Immediately iiou the application made for the writ, the jues tioiM iuvolvevl became a iimttcr for the gravest consideration at my hands, aDd I endeavored to prepare myself especi ally for lh bearing, by au examination of authorities, upon tho oiuU of law which would be f.upiHwcd to aii.ie.

C?uch ii the apparent outcropping of the present ca.se, and a more embarrassing task but 'eldom falls upon a judge. Iu obedience to dutr, 1 have patiently lUtencd for three Jays, while the whole matter hav been argued by rousel whose very names aro aguarantce for profound ity of research and subtlety ct analysis. And afler hearing all that Ibey present ed to ihc court upon every point, I am compelled, indirect 'c-pi'oeitioii to my first impression, to hold that tho plain tins are fully and clearly entitled to the relief demanded in their complaint. The legbdativvj avtof Feb., 15Ti, un der the decision before referred to, is evidently obcoxious lo the spirit and tenor of the Coitilutiu iu that it works a great disparage vf ibe hallot, aod produces mauifet disparity f ekct oral ' power among the voter of the various wards of lue city. N one can fail to see that this disparity of clecttral power was the purpcec aimed at in the act, so far a it setkt ta' change the tnauhincn 4 ihe city gevcrnment. It has-nvt been ucccfuJy shown that the act of IJ5T cvbtlnocd in force by the conxkbrrali'x-x of extraneous cacs, sack as the nstural growth f the city, which ttowM show ai fne;nalily in omc f the Ci'we i-.peevc waxda, ka liable to a simiLrr v-rctva.
