In a suit in the Fifth Court of New Orleans, entitled “ The State ex rel. W. F. Blackman v. the Secretary of State,” a judgment was rendered directing the Secretary, ‘ ‘ to compile the ballots and votes returned by the commissioners of Grant Parish, Ward No. 2, as counted under the orders of the Parish Court of that parish, and to include the same in his official declaration and promulgation of the vote cast for district judge of the twelfth judicial district as shewing the prima facie result of said election.” Aristide Barbin, alleging his interest, took a suspensive appeal from that judgment, and also applied for a writ prohibiting the Secretary from executing that judgment pending Ms appeal.

Manning, C. J.,
