Court.
MEMPHIS, May so. 1860.
The following is a synopsis Of decision Of the
Supreme Court at Brownsville yesterday
The State Vs. Staten.-In this case the unanimous
opinion OF the court was to-day delivered by Judge
Henry X. Smith. The Court held that the right to
vote was clear legal right secured to citizens under
the constitutional rights Of Tennessee; that
the elective franchise stood on as high ground as
the right to property or any other right secured by
the constitution; that this right once vested
could be taken away by due process OF law only;
that the power attempted to be conferred on the
Governor by acts OF the Legislature to set aside
registration for frauds and Irregularities or other
causes, is o judicial power which cannot be con.
ferred exercised by the Executive OF this State
and for that reason all hts acts and procamations In
setting aside registrations In counties and parts OF
counties are absolutely null ana void and holders Of
certificates granted by previous registration com.
missioners are entitled TO vote by reason of the
same
Judge shackelford delivered separate opinion,
concurrng with this decision, but went further ana
cited the case OF Redly vs. SHERLOCK in Justification
OF his opinion that the franchise acts are constu
tiona. The other judges reserved In this case the
question Of the constitutonaity Of the several ran
cnise acts.
