THE COUNTY, SEAT CASE.

The rulings OF the District Court at Bowl.
ing Green, on Friday and Saturday last,
are regarded as decidedly favorable to Per
rysburg. On Saturday an alternative writ
of mandamus was granted, Judges PILILRs
and BEERS agreeing, while Judge LATrY
took a little time for investigation. This
will compel the Clerk to either record the
vote or show cause for not recording,
bringing the case. which the Supreme
Court lodged, to an issue.
In the PuELPs-ScHRoEDER case the
Court decided, on Friday, in favor OF
SCHROEDER, in which the f. II bench
agreed, that the Q,rk is not vested with
judicial authority and must count and re-
cord the votes of townships when returned
in due form. A correspondent to the Com
meriod has this to say about the action of
the Court:
The Court held that Phelps was not lc-
gally elected Probate Judge OF Wood
county. Exceptions were noted The
Court in reviewing the case said there were
three parties interested in the case: First,
the confession; second, the contestce third,
the public. That while il appeared from
the evidence that an immense fraud had
been perpetrAted in the election of Perrys-
burg township, yet the court would he care
ful not TO tramp!e on that sacred right of
every freeman-the elective franchise.
That they could not disfranchise any voter
because some illegal voter had chaneel to
vote at the same polls with him. That
il was the duty Of the canvassing board to
count the vote that they were not judi
cial board, but a ministerial board That
the court would be free from ever giving
any persons any advantages by that fraud
--bnt could not disfranchise any voter, and
it seemed that parties injured had their
remedies, and the course laid down by the
statutes was so plain that they could moi
err. That proof would show who were Il,
legal voters, and the entire vote could moi
be thrown out.
