WINCHESTER AND POTOMAC RAILROAD
PETITION FOR a MANDAMUs.-Judge Mere
dith on Saturday awarded to the Win
chester and Potomac Railroad Company
(who filed their petition by Andrew Hun
ter, E.q.,) rule against John S. Calvert,
Treasurer William F. Taylor, Auditor of
Public Accounts; and Asa Rogers, Second
Auditor, requiring them to appear before
his court on Wednesday the 5th February
next, and show cause, if any they can, why
a mandamuS should not be awarded the
said Winchester and Potomac Railroad
Company, compelling the said parties to
receive into the Treasury Of the Common
wealth from the company, in any bonds of
the State, at par value, the sum of $685.
1888, with all interest due thereon, al
legged to amount in the aggregate to Sll8,-
51s.l2, and grant proper receipt there
for. The company, in their petition, urge
that an act of the General Assembly
passed 25th of April, 1867, among other
things, authorized them to pay into the
Treasury the sum mentioned, being the
amount of debt due the State. On the Sd
of December last, it is alleged, the sum
was rendered the Treasurer and Auditors,
but by them, for reasons not stated, re-
fused. Hence the action to compel them
to receive it in compliance with the act Of
Assembly.

stood that neither himself nor bis asso-
ciate had any idea Of arguing the ques-
tion alluded to before this court. x -
Judge Ould ffor the prisoner) said that
these acts had been on the statute book for
long time, and have excited much inte-
rest and discussion. He took it for granted
that, in common with others, his Honor
had fixed opinion about their constitu-
tionality. What that opinion was, of
course it would be idle to conjecture, but
the counsel were unwilling, under these
circumstances, to submit argument.
The court said that true the acts were
passed long time ago, but as they had not
been judicially acted upon, the mind Of
the court was open to; argument. Ger
tainly it bad publicly expressed no OPT
MON. As Major Vance proposed to argue
the case, the court could not refuse the
privilege; but gentlemen might rest as
its power to advance the cause Of freedom.
The court hoped counsel would name q
day for the argument. sH sS -
Major Vance suggested q months delay.
Judge Ould ventured to say that an in.

party was brought into court ON writ Of

and was allowed time for his answer. The
record of judicial proceedings do not
show such an instance. eJ a
Major Vance interrupted to say that be
would not ask time, but left it with the
court. as 5s%
Mr.. Johnson said that as it seemed
neither party demanded delay, the court
should decide the case at once, or at the
earliest possible day. The prisoner had
now been in prison during the months Of
October, November, December, and nearly
all of January, without any action on the
part of the Government to mature the
case or to continue the prosecution. He
now demanded an immediate discharge.
The court said that when the writ was
made returnable at this time it was the
expectation that the District Attorney
would be present. 1t seems that he was
ill. The court was therefore constrained
to take time, and accordingly fixed We'd
nesday at 10 A. NJ. for the further hear
ing of the cause.
The prisoner was then remanded to the
Libby for confinement until Wednesday.
