against this respondent to save this
county from the spoiler and the taxpayers
from increase Of burden2"
Senator Higgins spoke for an hour and
thirty-five minutes.
John II. Rodney, Esq, opened for the
respondent at 10 10 o'clock. He stated
that for the first time in the history Of
the state. efforts had been made to re
model the election law Of the state.
In answer to the allegations in regard
TO the clerk, he said the duties Of the
clerk were expressly limited. This
court or no other, by this proceeding or
any other, can cause the authority Of
an agent 30 exceed that Of
a principal. The speaker had
said that the respondent admitted having
acted unfairly. The answer contained no
such admission or suggestion. He said
that the duties devolving on him by his
office cause him to do AS he had stated
and done.
The speaker maintained that no man
damus could be granted, if there was
any other remedy. The extraordinary
powers of the court cannot carry into
effect whim or caprice. In answer to
the relator the respondent says he is
willing to take all taxes offered to him.
The respondent denies that the relator
had sufficient interest in the case to ask
for a mandamus II could be granted on
a public right, but it must be duty of
public nature, not affecting private
individual In case Of this kind there
must be a demand and refusal Thisis not
such public act that private indivld-
ual can ask for a writ. The ground of
loss Of revenue to the county and indi
vidual was not sufficient. In this case
the relator had paid his tax and the loss
was apprehension.
The relator had been IN his office six
hours day from May TO October. Since
then he had spent a fair portion Of his
time in his Office. In his judgment he
had to be out part Of the time. If the
men who had complained, had brought
| about the present state of affairs by
| allowing the officer to be suddenly over
run with business. the court could not
issue the writ
The eight to qualify to vote is not q
/ public but a personal act With electors
or the manner Of conducting them the
election officers have nothing to do
a mandamus cannot lie TO control dis
erection Of a public officer. The court
cannot say what discretion in conduct is
in an officer. If he sits the legal number
Of hours in a day the court caunot
say when they shall be. There is no way
by which the court can enforce such dis
cretion beyond the specific rules made by
/ law.
The whole petition resolves itself into
two points The duty to collect and the
duty to collect from any persons who
present themselves.
If the collector issued receipts in
quantity, it would be in dereliction of the
law Of 1878.
At o'clock court took a recess until
o'clock this afternoon.
