in 1856. 1t may perhaps be argued that
the section referred to only gives addition.

ficient to go behind the returns, and to pass
upon the legality Of an election. A care.
fhl examination of the statutes Will prove
that opinion incorrect. BY the amended
law Of 1864 the Governor and Council arc
to open and compare election returns for all
county officers, and TO declare what officers
hare plurality Of votes. This means
something or nothing. They arc not re-
quired to declare what officers appear to
have plurality Of votes as in the case OF
the election Of members to the Legislature
foe in that the constitution has given the
authority to another body. But in the mat.
ter Of county officers the law makes their
decision a positive one. Furthermore, the
law having concisely and clearly stated
what "vote" shall DO, they arc to decide
whether the alleged officers have received
not only the requisite quantity, but, also,
the requisite quality.
This opinion is supported by the fact tina,
since the law of 1864 has designated the
Governor and Council 90 nomine as the on.
ly authority to receive and coun, the cleo.
ton returns and to declare what parties are
elected, they constitute the only authority
in the State for that purpose, and their au'
thority is supreme. The Supreme Court is
powerless,upon the subject. II the Exec.
utive Department by fraud declare the per
son having the smallest number Of votes
elected, the Governor can DO reached only
by an impeachment for a violation Of his
oath, as in any other case, bat. there is nc
power that can go behind tho Secretary
certificate Of election. Either tho select
men are.thc.sole judges Of elections, or else
the Executive and his council are.
This view Of the powers ofthe Governor
and Council is based upon decision Of
the full Court in the case of Dennet, n pc.
titioner for the Court to issue rule to the
Governor and Council to show cause why
n writ OF mandamus should not issue from
the Court. commanding them to declare

coin county in 1851. See 32d Maine sos,
dssq. The court decided that they could
issue wri,s Of mandamus only to courts Of
inferior jurisdiction, or to corporations or
to individuals. That the duty Of opening
and comparing votes for certain officers is
imposedby law upon the Governor ind
Council, co nom,ne. That the performance
Of that duty is an official act Of the execu-
tive department. That for correct per.
