The quo warranto proceedings
brought against Frederick i. Terppe,
in which Frank Dickert was subst-
tuted as defendant in the case of the
commonwealth ex. rel, John r. Jones,
district attorney of Lackawanna coun-
ty, against Frederick l.. Terppe, came
up for argument yesterday. The an
swer of Poor Director Dickert, which
was filed about ten days ago, was de-
INJURED TO by l. II. Burns, attorney
for the relator.
The answer of Dickert sets forth a
number of facts upon which he bases
= claim for a jury trial and therefore
puts himself upon the county
Mr.. Burns in his argument, admit
ting all the facts set forth in the an
swcr of the respondent. still having
claimed the right to hold the office OF
poor director. by virtue of the power
of appointment conferred upon the
president judge of the county by the
act of assembly, 1866, which is clearly
unconstitutional for two reasons, VIZ:
The title of the act not clearly setting
forth the contents Of the act, and also
the expression of two distinct subject
matters, the respondent has not put
in questions sufficient material facts
to entitle him to a jury trial, and 1t is
merely u question of law, or to be
more particular. the constitutionality
or the unconstitutionality of the act OF
1866, which was passed two years sub
'sequent to the amendment of the con-
stitution, which requires that the title
of an act shall clearly set forth the
contents of the act.
ACT Is MISLEADING.
Not only does this act not do this.
said Mr.. Burns, but it is clearly mis-
leading as it was intended to do un-
doubtedly when it was framed. He
characterized it as a "snake act" by
which term such acts of assembly Were
known years ago.
Attorney John F. Scragg, who ap-
peared far the respondent, argued that
these questions, with the exception of
the constitutional question, had all
come up before the courts in previous
suits and had been disposed of by
learned judges and attorneys who
favored the law which authorizes the
president judge to appoint the poor
directors. He admitted, however. that
the constitutional question had never
been raised before, although for thirty
three years this appointive power had
been exercised by the president judges
of Luzerne and Lackawanna counties.
Mr.. Scragg contended that the people
by their acquiescence during all these
long years had approved of this law
and had no cause to complain and even
though the court should construe it as
unconstitutional, by long lapse of time
IL ought to be recognized as law.
Mr.. Burns, in answer to this, said
that the legislation Of 1856 took the
right of election of poor director out
of the hands of the people by such a
high-handed method that the court
should Immediately place it where ii
belongs, and he further asserted that
the people and each individual tax
payer in Lackawanna county had a
