1t has been suggested that the Governor
might assume the responsibility to make a
new apportionment. The laws do not au-
thorize any such act. There is no doubt
but that the apportionment is very unequal,
and that it ought TO be materially changed; !;
but if there must be any assumption of
power in remedying this defect, it had bet
ter be done by the people than by the Ex-
Fecutive. The different departments of our
government-the Legislative Executive and
Judiciat-ought never to be allowed to in
terfere with one another, and it is seldom
that case arises that would justify an ex-
ee-ufive officer in tie exercise of powers
tfat are not clearly delegated to bim by law .
La this case l do not think such contin-
grnry has arisen,- ant therefore do not
feel authorized to go outside of The law and
do an act which mrre appropriately belongs
to the people. L is true, that TO reach it
