THE APPoKTIoNAENT BuL-A MANDAxUs
REgU> D.--in the Supreme Court, on Satur-
day, decision was made in the taHidaaUs
case OF Lamphicr u Walker as. o. VI. Hatch,
Secretary of State. The case, - cnr read
ers are aware, was instituted by the REALTORS,
printers of the laws Cf the last Legislature
asking an order upon the Secretary for a
copy, for publication, OF the Apportionmcnt
bill. vetoed by the Governor AT the last scS
sion Of the Legislature. The object Of the
suit was 10 test the validity of that veto,
the REALTORS maiutang, because the q )vern-
or happened inadvcTtantly to atiiX his name
to the bill, though tie afterwards erased it,
and returned it to the House with his OBJ
.jectionS, that therefore the bill was duly ap-
proved and was the law Of the land
The application OF the rclators alleged
that this iii WAS iaw, aud that they had
made application TO the Secretary for a CO.
Ply OF the same to print with the other laws.
The answer replied to them fully, explain
inS the occurrence and setting forth the
Governors veto message, with which the
bill was returned 10 the House We have
not room in this issue to give the answer,
though We may in our Gext. The realtors
demuIred to the answer, on the ground that
Il was not Sutlic ent in law, and issue was
joined. The case as we have already stated,
vas argued on the ID; Col. McClernard APP
eparing for tie relators-Messrs Cloudy d
Blacwcll having ;ileb their arg ment in writ
ing-and Messrs. Grimshaw and Lincoln for
the Secretary.
The judgement Of the Court, as pronouuc-
ed by Chief Justice Cation, overTuled the
demurrer and sustained the answer-the
Court thus unanimously refusing to grant
mdRdamaS in the case-thuS deciding that
the much alked of apportionment bill is no
law-Stdte Jouanal, Sh
