The Franchise Law Again Declared
rn.r UncOnstltutl0nal. 80

o The other day tho Hartsvl.e (Tenn.) III
dette, at Clarksville, Judge Campbell declar.
ed the Franchise law unconstitutional. The
decision In this case; as In the trial here, was
upon an application for writ of nidnddmus.
Judge Campbell, upon grounds different
from those of Judge Cooper, decides the
franchise act unconstitutional, so far as II re-
-lates to DISTINGUISHING those citizens who re-
ceiyed certificates from the County Court
Clerks, under the act of 1865. Judge Coop,
er refused the writ because the body of men
who passed the franchise act had no legsla-
tive existence. Judge Campbell granted the
writ on grounds which did not involve the
constitutional power of the Legislature
One denies the right to enact any lhw--the
other only denies that the law which they
did enact was unconstitutional in disfran-
ing citizens, though valid so far as it requires
a registration of votes. 1t will be seen from
Judge CampbePs decision that a direct issue
Is brought about between the State Execu-
tive and the Judiciary. He says: 1t is
the legal duty of the respondent to register
: him (the relator) as a voter, to enforce which
duty preemptory writ of mandamus will
issue" He announces the law decides thu,
The citizen is not and cannot be deprived Of
his right to vote, by the act under question,

Court, which is in session now In Nashville
