THE RIGHT MOVE.
Court.

Mr.. Garland has introduced in the
Senate bill to encourage the building
of a Cotton Exposition in 1884. It
provides that an exposition shall be
held at the time and place to be de.
signated by the executive committe Of
the National Cotton Growers Associa-
ton, under the management of a board
of Is persons to be appointed by the
President, on the recommendation Of
the association and subscribers to the
expense of the exposition, who are to
cooperate with the board of commits
sioners, consisting of one from each
State and Territory, to be appointed
by the President, on recommendation
of the Governor of the State or Terrific.

Senator Hoar, who has just been
reelected by the Massachusetts, Leg
islature, has introduced in Congress a
proposition to purchase with Govern
ment money, at $50 each, about half a
million voting machines invented by a
Boston man, and supply them to every
election district in the United States
The machine is some sort of a glass
continuance with the ballots pasted on
an endless belt, for the supposed pur-
pose Of preventing fraud upon the
franchise. But as the election judges
would handle, and possibly tamper
with every ballot. the security Of the
thing is not so apparent.

NOTHING IN IT.

In our issue of January 18th w
stated that VIM. M. Strickland, Ed
NJ. Watson, John B. Howard, JOSEPH
Boxley, ]. A. Higgins, J. H. Bennett
H. E. Williamson and A. F. Brown, O
Marshall county. had been indicted fol
election irregularities. They wen
forward and demanded a trial, but
could not get it. We have just learn
ed that the indictments against them
have been nolle pross'd. 1t is astonish
ing that Chalmers, the Assistant Uni
ted States District Attorney, would
have permitted this. But strange
things will occasionally occur.
We are glad to know that the gen
tlemen above named have escaped
with such slight trouble.

THE COTTON EXPOSITION.

Maj. F. G. Morehead, editor OF the
Planters Journal, and protector of the
Worlds Cotton Exposition, does not
seem respondent because no city has
agreed to subscribe the amount asked
for the Exposition. He correets, in
his last paper, the impression that has
gone abroad that the Cotton Planters
Association demanded donation of
100000 as gift to be used at the
pleasure of the Association. The mon
ey subscribed will be used for the Expo
sition in such way as the local mana
gers and originators Of the plan may
agree.
AS yet no city has taken steps to Sc
cure the amount, but no surprise is
manifested at that because the plans
have never been fully set forth. Moth
ing can be done until the representa-
tives of the Association present, to the
cities liable to compete for the EXPOSE
ton, some practicable, definite plan,
upon which both parties can agree.
Major Morehead says that plans are
now maturing that will present the
matter in a shape so clear, so unmls-
taxable, and withall SO practical that
he has every reason to believe that in
ducements will come from more than
one city. sufficiently large and SUBJ
stantial to warrant the Executive Com
mittee in deciding this important
question, There has been delay, but

more time for reflection and consulta-

of the people of the Cotton States
taking more direct interst in the en-
terprise, and the united enthusiasm of
the agricultural classes is certain
guaranty of it's final success; for city
folks everywhere are beginning to
realize the value of strong bonds OF
friendship and generous cooperation
with the planters and farmers of the
country, and the citizens of that city
which may secure the location of the
Cotton Centennial, the only enterprise

planters, will lay the foundation of a

buying its stock, evidently expecting
to get the aid of the Holland stock
holders of that road. He is doing
this, so reports say, because he is tire6
of paying the Illinois Central Railroad
Company heavy rental for the ust

THE cHALmERs-MANSrNG CASE.

Judge Wharton has decided that
the Circuit Court has jurisdiction in
this case and can compel a recount Of
the votes from the Second District. II
we understand the decision, this is
what it amounts to, because the Secre.
tary of State did make and has pub.
lished count.
Judge Wharton is an upright and
learned Judge, and in saying that his
decision needs explanation and argu-
ment to obtain the assent of the COM
mon mind we are not to be under
stood as rejecting upon him. But we
understand mandamus to be writ
to compel action, and it can never-con-
troll an officer in the exercise of his de-
liberate judgmentin any matter where
he is required to exercise his judg.
ment. If the Legislature has confided
to the Secretary Of State duty which
clearly requires the exercise of his
Judgment, it is little difficult at first
sight to see how the Court can super.
cede him and substitute its judgment
for that of the Secretary. Had the
Secretary refused to act and refused
to furnish information as to the result
of the election it is very clear the writ
might be invoked. This he has not
done, but has acted, and he has the
Court as a witness that he acted con.
scientiously and according to his best
judgment.
But this is not all. A Court surely
cannot be called on to render judg.
ment it has no power to enforce. Can
it be called on by sutton to do use
less and foolish thing? How can this
decision of the Court avail Gen. Chal
mers anything? Who will it bind:
How can the Judgment be executed;
Will the Court undertake to force the
Governor to cancel the certificate is
sued and give another? Will it ap
point Commissioner to act as Gov
|ernor if he refuses to act? Will it i'm
prison him for contempt if he disobeys
its mandate? We hardly think it car
be contended that one department O.
the government is so completely under
the control of the other. What Their
will the decision amount to? Will il
control Congress? After all, it will
accomplish nothing. We have q
Court pronouncing decision that
binds nobody SO far as the ultimate
object to be obtained is concerned.
These considerations enter directly
into the question of jurisdiction ane
are decisive, it should seem, against
its existence.
Since the above was put in type, the
case has been tried before Judge Whar
ton on its merits. 1t was submitted
to jury who found for Chalmers
Myers will appeal to the Supreme
Court.
