IN THE Supazme CouRT oF Distaict or CoLumr November 18, 1565.—John Mead vs. Joseph G. Carroll. At Law; No. 5,064. Com. tested Election. —T he case before Us 1s based upon tue complaint of the petitioner that he is the duly elected assessor for the Fifth Ward of tu+ City of Washington, baying received a major- ity of the legal votes polled at the election held on the fir-tday of June, (-6>. The undispuced facts of the cise show thatat the election r ferred to 1,920 votes were polled, of which, ac. cording to the returns of the Commissioners of Election, the petitioner received 9/2 and th. Tespondent 941, leaving a majority of 31 tor the petitioner, exclusive of 7 votes given tor Joseph Carroll, which ought to have oven ac- credited to the yots given for Jostph (7. Carcoll, thus making the actual majority, according to the return, 21. This majority, in the absence of other expi. jon, would entitle the petitioner to the offi Which he claims, and raies the necessity further inquiry into the legality of the election. In the prosecution of further inquiry it has been objected that the retaura of tae Commis. sioners, based upou the list of voters turnisued them by the Judges of Election, is conclusive, benind which neither the Kegister, in granting the certificate of election, nor this Court can go. With regard to the power of the Register in tae premises, it is not important for the preseat purposes of the inquiry to determine. We flud the certiticate issued. and the respondeat in Pessession of the office, Whatever the Court may say upon this subject, therefore, is merely advisory of the future action of the Register, ‘The law provides “(hat whevever any person has received or shall hereafter receive @ ceruti- cate from the Register of the etty of Wasning- ton, based upon satisfactory evidence furnisied the Comm ssioners of Election, notifying dim of hiselection to any elec ive office of said cit: the person recevoing Such notification shall entitled to enter upon the discharge of the ds ties of bis office, ard the certificate of the Register shall be prima facie evidence of his election to and right to discharge the duues of suid office.’* 1t would appear from this statute, that the ange of his iu vestigation and jnogient is linn. Ated to the evidence furnished by the Commission- ers of Election, aud that evidence necessariy contined within the sphere of their duties. If the omection be well founded that the Court nay not go bebind the act of regisiration, aud the return of the Commissioners based upon that act, the first suggestion that occurs tnat the investigation ends where its bogins aud the provision of the siatue of June 10, 1568, seetion 4— And be it furtier enacted. That any persor Who claims Or shall herea/ter claim, to bv elected to uny clective office in eaid city, may com- mence proceedings before the said supreine oo Of the Distriet of Columbia, by petinon seitiny Sorth the facts Upon which be relies, and susii Ve & COPY wn the inowmbent or person who hus F ceived the certificate of election; aud U fon so served shall make answer to sad p within five days; and said court shal! t ry the rights of the parties to said ummary manner; and for that purpose a speci seesum sbail be cilled and held whenev hecessary for the purposes of such triad: the decision of seid court 1m any case so brougnt bei it snail be final ‘and conctusiye. as enacted in vain. And if this be su, this Court has no power to try the rigut of the par- ties to the office. nor is there any virtue ta the provision that their determination shall be flaat and conclusive, inasmuch as the objectioa pro- vides a final aud conclusive judgment before the case reaches the court. The couchasivene of ibe determination of the Board of Judses of Election in the act of registration 1s based apou the theory that they consutute a judicial tri- bunal, the finding of which is the end of the Jaw in the matter under investigation. In thi Yiew the Court do not conear. They are in no sepse a judicial tribunal. They are sunply or- ganized to discharge the duties of the officers of election, as they have been exercised and ua- derstood by similar officers under the name of judges or inspectors of elections, hitherto charged with thy duty of recetving legal yous, and Teyecting illegal ones. ‘This is parent in the law of their creation, of the act ot February sth, 1507, ection eh simpiy makes it their business 0 prepare a list of squalifed” voters, to be used al the elec At a judicial tribunal, they are such wat parties, ane without proce s, er any other of th exact and reliable instruments of yustice, Li the case was left to rest upon reasons to be de- Tived from the nature and character of teur duties, there would be no doubt, ia our minds, that the Judges of Election do not come within the ebaracter of a jndtctal tribunal, and that their acts are subject to an examination by the court in all cases of contest. But ihe questioa does notrest here. The court are not without the aid of express authority upon the subject ‘The action of Congress in every case that hiss transpired since the organization of the Gov- ernment, from the First to the Forueth Con- gress, overrules the objection by sweeping Away certificates, returns, and all other saper- vening obstacles of form and ceremony, to Teach the last important fact. as to which of the contestan's received & majority «f the legal voirs, uniformiy regarding the question, who has ber elected,” as paramount ty the formula of proof as to the slertion. But it may be replied to the Precrdents aud ralings of Congress, that such Action is not authority for courts at law, inas. much as that body is a law unto itself. treat it as authority because the conclusion .; eegentially right We are not left solely to the authority of Congress in enlightening the subject before us, ‘The question is not new in the courts. as will be seen by reference to the case of Auld y« Walton, 12th Lonisiana Aunaal Reporis, p 1 case, based upon a statute similar to the one betore us, the court make tse of Lin language: “We view the office of Registry, under thi statnte, as a special tribanal for the trial of the right to vote in New Orlevns, whese certifi. cate is in the matare of a judgment, which i« bot subject to revision by the Commissioners of Eivetion. We do not hold, however, the judgments of that tribunal to be without a) peal. The 9th section of the act provides a Mode of redress, by suit against tue Register, for an applicant to whom te Register shall ra. fuse a certificate, Aud the validity of the cer tifente, and tay sufficiency of the proof upon whi h i was based, my an all csesie examined, ion @ contest of els ction, by the tribunnds seized of the jun risdiction of such contest.” Again, in the case of the Commonwealth +r rh he ys. the Coun'y Commissioners, 5in Rawle, p the Court say “But conceding that the Commissioners have no discretion in relation to the return, (x point which I shalt hereafter notice) yet it is not per- ceived how this helps the relator’s case, unless it can also be shown that the return is conclu- Court, and that in fact there is no tribunal in the commonwealth competent to examine into, and correct gross frand or illegality of procedure, ou the part of the returning officer. ‘Then on page 79: “Without adverting par- ticularly to the form of the return, it must be observed that two returns were made, and it ‘was for them to determine which return was correct, or meet either of them should be received.
