for the examination and trial of Of
tenders, might constitutionally be
included in the bill under it's general
title" And this learned author in
the same work, p. las, says: "But
If the title to the act actually. indi-
Gates and the act itself actually EN-
braces two distinct objects, when
the constitution says it shall EN-.
brace but one, the whole act must
be treated as void, from the mani.
fest impossibility in the Court choos-
ing between the two, and holding
the act valid as to the one and void
as to the other" Again, Art. $50 of
the constitution provides: GAIL
laws changing parish lines or re,nov-
ing parish seats shall, before taking
effect, be submitted to the electors
ofthe parish or parishes to be affect
ed thereby, at a special election held
Tor that purpose and be adopted by
a majority OF votes of each parish
cast at such election It is the eyi.
dent and clearly expressed intention
Of the constitution that laws on the
above mentioned subjects must be
submitted to the people for their
approval or ratification, and we can
not deduce any other inference than
that a general law providing for
change of parish lines and removal
OF parish seats is not contemplated
in the organic law, but that in each
case when either of these objects are
sought special law in accordance
with the provisions and require
ments of Art. 4S is intended to be
passed, On which the electors of the
Parish or Parishes affected thereby
Shall cast their votes as pointed out
in Art. $50. Hence, if Act 81 had
not been obnoxious to the objection
stated and had embraced the sole
object of removal of the Parish seat,
under the views just expressed, it
would have contiicted with the con.
stitution and the election held under
it would have been invalid.
1t is, therefore, ordered, adjudged
and decreed that the judgment of
the lower Court be annulled, avoid
ed and reversed, and proceeding to
render such judgment as should
have been rendered, it is ordered,
adjudged and decreed, that the in
junction issued in this snit be per-
petuated, and that the order for the
second election made by the Police
Jury of the Parish of Bossier be an
nulled and set aside, and the election
held on the ed of July, 1880, under
and by virtue of Act No. 81, approx
ed March 10th, 1880, is declared to
be invalid. Appellees to pay the
costs Of both Courts.
