Langley was taken up. Messrs. J, H. Bradley, Sr., R.T. Merrick and W. Y¥. Fen- wy eo alr Peat ak wrerats and Messrs. W. -)Cook an . @ \- ‘deni iddle tor the respon r. Merrick had previously asked a post- ponement of the hearing until to-morrow, but the Court seemed disinciined to accede to the Tequest and the case was taken up. Mr. Fendall read the petition of Mr. Lang- Jey, a8 alse an affidavit of Mr. James W. Har- ker corroborating the facts. Mr. Oook read the answer of the respon- dents, admitting that they were appointed, and had organized and entered on their duties, Setting forth that at cer‘ain times they held sessions; that in each ward, where they had Teasou to believe that all had not registered, they had extended the time as in the First, Second, Fourth, and Seventh Wards; that due notice was given as to the time they would hold their sessions by advertisement in the Chron.cla, STAR, and Intelligencer; that when they were in session in the Third Ward said Langley did not present himselt; that he pre- sented himself after the registry had been completed; that they have not placed his name on the list; that they cannot admit that he is qualified, and bas not given ‘aid to the rebeis, &c.; that by law they are required to sit two days tor correction, which they would do, but not for the purpose of entering names, &c.; and in conclusion ask that the application be dismissed. Mr. Qook also read the affidavit of P. F Bacon, one of the judges, in corroboration of the facts. Mr. Bradley suggested that the three cases could be considered together—Langley’s,Clay- ton’s and Turton’s. Mr. Cook stated that the answer to the pe- tition of Clayton was different trom the others, as it recited that he refused to take an cath to make true answers, &¢c. Mr Bradley opened the case for the pe- tihoner, stating that the case arose under the actof February 5th, 1567, and read the act, as also the amendatory act of March 30th. The questions to be considered are: Who are to be placed on the lists? How far haye the judy sitting & few hours in theafternoon, complied with the laws! And whether the Cour: has jurisdiction to compel the judges to comply With the law it it has notbeen complied with? Befere the act of January +. 1-67, under the 5th section of the charter of the city, an elec- tor was required to pay the school tax and to bea free white male; but under the recent laws every man may yote. The judges had at least one record to make the registry from. Their duty was not to record the games of ali persons who should apply, but to ascertain who had the qualifications. They must dis- charge this duty reasonably: and he asked if they could deprive him of the right to vote if he did not comply with their will. He called attention to the fact that there were no sessions held in the Third Ward. They assumed that they had the power beyend the control of tne court to sit as i@g as they saw proper, and refuse to register anv one whe id nor present himself in tue times they specified. Mr. Bradley quoted a pumber of authorities, and proceeded to discuss the question as to whether the mandamus would lie. He main- tained it to be an insufficient return, and moved a Mandamus issue. He read from the Intelligencer of June 1, 1354, the report of the case of CO. S. Wallach for a mandamus to have his name placed on the poll list, which had been omitted, im which It was held that the petitioner was not at fault, and that it was the duty of the assessors to find ont the voters and place them on the lists. He conteuded that the cases were somewhat similar. Mr. Cook, for the respondents, commenced his argument, in the outset discussing the question whether the court has power in the case. It may be that Congress has the power to vesi in certain officers powers which can- not be interfered with by the court. Judge Wylie asked if, under the act, aparty whose vote was refused could not sue the judges for damages. * Mr. Cook answered that they conid not sue the judges of registry, but the receivers of votes. Judge Olin remarked that the Iaw is ex- plicit in saying that no man can vote whos name is not on the fst Mr. Cook continued, saying that the law is so worded asto give the Court no power in the premises. He argued that the judges had exclusive power, and that ifthe Court grant the motion it could not order the relator’s name to be placed on the list unless it wa: wusfied that he possessed the qualifications in the act. He further argued that it has been decided that the mandamus did not apply to officers of the rovernment, of whom discretion and jndg- mentis required to be exercised, and cited a number of cases Mr. Cook spoke of the duties of the judges. | contending that in law it was left to the soued discretion of judges as to the mode and manner of preparing a list of qualified voters, referring to the iairnese of the judges in admitting chal- jJengers to the sessions. To grant this prayer, bis right must be certain and clear. and the wandamus should not jssne until he shows his right —_« DxRatTH or JuDGE Day.—A dispatch received im this city yesterday from a member of Mr. Day’s family, dated at St. Louis, brings intel- ligence that Blr. Day died while on his way to bis former home in St. Anthony, Minnesota. Mr. Day,s health has been failing for a num- ber of months, and his condition was regarded as hopel-ss previous to his departure tor Min- mesota: but in the hope that a change of cli- mate might save his life, his family, im defer- euce to bis wishes, left this city with him on Tuesday evening, April 30,en their way to St Anthony, although it was believed by many of his trends here that he woald not reach Minnesota alive. ——_e—_—— Tue Cinccsix Town.—The grand cavalcade of the performers of Mike Lipman’s famous combined circus and exhibition of trained am- mails created a sensation on the avenue to-day. ‘The cayahers and ladies mounted on fine ‘horses, the performing animals, and the clown with his diminutive mule team were all ob- jects of attraction to the children who thron, the streets.
