The American Colonization Society through its
secretary and treasurer, William COppinCcT esq
has issued an appeal 10 the public ana especial il
10 its old friends and supporters for aid in order t.
the effective prosecution Of its work, the late hard
times having materially reduced the contributions
TO is treasury. The association has upon It's rec
Ords applications from several hundred thousand
respectable people of color who desire to remove
10 the republic of Liberia. This widespread de.
sire has been brought about by emancipation and
the unsatisfactory condition of the coored people
and the auractiyenesS OF Liberian prosperity.
Every emigrant costs the society 500, of which
$50 is for passage and support and $50 for rations
and shelter during the first six months after arrival
including ten acres of land to each unmarried
adult and twenty five acres TO every family, To-
ward this outlay the preference is given 10 such
applicants, all other things being equal Us will
contribute so or more per capita. Added to this
is the expense of travel FROM their homes to the
vessel, which is ofcn considerable and in ali cnses
is borne by ineniillg emisrants
Funds are especially needed for the outfit and
dispatch OF the customary fall expedition ut this
time in active preparation and to embark on the
ship 'MonrovR, expected soon to arrive at New
York from Liberia where she landed in July last IL

towns and cities of the votes cast for mem
bers of the legislature, are not amendabe
The constitution declares, that upon Them
and them alone, thcdecsion shall be made by
the Governor and Council, as to what persons
thereby "appear to be elected" A substitu-
ton of other evidence for this, by the Gov
ernor and Council, would be clear violation
of the constitution and any statute author
izing it, is ultra rires.
If the petitioner has any right to examine
the returns, his application should be to the
Governor and Council, in whose custody they
are. He does not assert in his petition that
he has made any such application.
The Executive must necessarily determine
for himself, the constitutionality of the stat
ute of 1877. He cannot decide upon his duty
without. The right and duty, are so held, in
effect, in 2 Otto. 5il supra.
Mr. Gould occupied some three hours in
the delivery of his argument which was
marked bv his well known ability and power.
Mr.. Baker, on the part of the relator occu-
pied nearly an hour in his reply, promising his
remarks by stating that he was panied to lis
ten during the argument of the able and in
genious counsel, to his threatening and defiant
remarks about collision between the judic-
iary and the State authorities. After admin
istering a rebuke he proceeded to controvert
the leading points that had been made by OPP
posing counsel. The answer that had been
made by the respondent was false in law He
has the power to show the returns. He ar
gucd that the Secretary of State is the sole
custodian of them, and is not the creature,
the servant of the Governor and Council, as
has has been stated, nor is he the organ of
executive caprice. He is the sole custodian
of the public records and made so by the con-
stitution and the laws. Mr.. Baker agreed
with respondents counsel that the Governor
and Council had no more power now than those
who had gone before them, and he hoped they
would not exercise any more power. He con-
tended that the people have the right to see
the returns and that the Secretary of State
was obliged to exhibit them. He reafiirmed
the main points in his previous arguments
and ended with an eloquent peroration.
The arguments closed at one o'clock,
when the case was given to Judge Virgin and
the court adjourned.
Judge Virgin left for Portland in the after
noon train. He will render a decision to-day
whether he will issue a writ of mandamus or
not and telegraph the fact to counsel.
