Weare somewhat surprised 0) the^answer which the Herald nttcni|^ts to^make to our | losit ion HMMH1 the^legislature We have yet to learn that^calling names is an argument, or that^sneering is debating, or that mil-stating^18 a |iro|s-r answer. We never said^that the ordinance ^liad no force until^after the |^resulcnt's proclamation is^sued.^ So ^it is pure foolishness to in^nisi that the canvassers hIiouIiI have^waited until the returns were all in or^compelled the. proper otlicer to Iile^them.^ it* it^ It was contrary to the^law to count before they were all in.^Perhaps our esteemed contemporary^means that it would have lieen political^^foolishness^ for the republicans to ho^wait. baoatisc they would thus bo do^feated. So it would have been; but^political honesty demanded that the^Ik hi r. I should wait. You know that you^misstate the law when you Bay that^^there was no territorial law requiring^the clerks of count ies tosend any returns^to the secretary of the territory.^ We say^that you know it. lie-cause other^^wise we must either conclude^that you do not know what^vim write or that you do not believe^what you w rite, U'cause w ithin live lines^of that statement you nay the bund^^used all the power w ith which they bad^been invested to secure the returns.-'^Mow, what do they do to secure the re^^turns^ They sent a messenger to the^clerk ^to secure the returns.^ I low did^they come to do that^ Because the law^said they should do so if the clerk lien^lected to send them within the time^fixed by law. The board itself said^.practically i that they were boMMl to do^it. Now, in heaven's name, why ^ 1 ^I the^board send a messenger to demand the^returns of the clerk if the clerk was not^bound to give them': Perhaps your legal^editor is honest when he says the board^^used all the BOWWkV etc.; let IN edn^cite him in his profession. The law^provides that ii writ of mandamus may^^be isssued ^to compel the performance of^an act which the Inw *|^ecially enjoins^an aduty resulting from an otVice. trust^or station.^ You willtind that on page^:^l(j of the code. You ought to know-^that the hoard did not have the proper'y^certilied returns from Silver How county,^for that Isiard in their report declares,^^being, therefore, without any DMMJf^copy of the alwtract of votca eastin Silver how county.^^etc Can it 'si isissible that^you do not Ixdieve what the Isiard say*':^And so ^the only penalty the law scorned^to provide was that those counties^rTBJoBJ MglMaad M tile their returns^would 1* krnoroxl in making up the re^turns and left without representation.^If you wrote as you say we do. ^with a^carelessness savoring of the extreme frigid^zone.^ you would Hot have said that.^What, a county deprived of its reprosen^tative U'cause one man refused to dolus^duty. U'cause tin- clerk refused to make^the returns.- Suppose that nil the^counties except Ijewisand Clarke had^voted against the constitution; suppose^the clerks of those counties neglected to^win! in the returns under such caw. could11anvansuiK Isxird count the votesof Ijcwis and Clarke county and^certify to tic president that the OBMtl tutioahad baaa adopted: Would Ida Isiardratisfy itself by Hoiidm^' inessen-^gaia^ Is that ^governineiit ^f the peo^^ple, by the paOpla, for the people.'^ \av. 'lh.it would is' goaanawat by clerks of countiesor by canvassim.' boards. Youare mistaken. The board did not winft Ixt nine limit of I nne allowed by anylaw.^ There was but one limit^lived by the iiiiu;ressional not: that law^provided that ^the returns of said aba^tioli should U^ made to the secretary^* * * wlio, with the faaafMf and^chief justice * * * shall canvass^the same.^ That was the law controlling.^If the territorial law was in coutlict with^that it could not control. Hut neither^t he provision of the convent ion nor the^law wiih in conflict: th^ time was lived^within which the oanvaaafaaj Isiard must^meet; they must meet on of Is-fore the^thirtieth day after election isec sulsl. 5^ordinance 11, hut it do^^s not say that^the canvass must Is- made within that^time Now. let the Herald ba careful^and not say that the law implies that,^because if it does it will nive the can^vassinK'ls^ard a terrible blow. W hy.'^BaOBHaa that boBfd held its sessions^lifter the thirty days had expired: be-^cause that Isiard issued its so called cer^titicatcs after the thirty days had ex^^pired.

There was not;^neither was there anything therein that^indicated that the I man I of canvassers^should help to steal this state, or to dc^feat the will of the people, or to ^'iiess at^the number of votes cast for the consti^tution, or to ^ascertain or declare^ that^from the U-st sources of inforina vot tio'iobtainable ^ There is much therein^to declare that they shall declare what^tote was cast bt the entire people for^and against the constitution; there is^therein M declare that they shall de darethe will of the |pic; much to dc darethat not only ^the best^ but the^sole ^source of information^ upon those^QVaattOM should be thu returns. Wenever said ^that the enabling act^did not give to the constitutional con^vent ion any power to regulate the elec^^tion of state oflaaN Of issue ccrtiticates^of election.^ That convention had the^power, but diil not exercise il. Ily set^tion-Jl of the enabling act the laws of^the territories ^shall bj in force in said^states except as modi lied or changed by^this act or by the constitution of the^states.^ The convention could modify^our laws bv any provision in the const^tution, if the constitution was adopted^by a vote of the |H^ople; but no part of^the territorial law could ls^ channel or^modified. See how carefully ton your^self show the distinct and ditferent^acts the elections of state otlicers and^the issuance of ccrtilicites. Hut even^here you misstate the enabling act^that act never declared that tin' conven^^tion could ^regulate the election of state^otlicers;^ it merely declared that ^tlv^convention may, by ordinance, provide^for the election of otlicers for full^stale government, including meinU-rsof^the legislature and representatives in^the lift) lirst congress^ that is. the^convention may declare what otlicers^shall bo elected but not one word mdi^eating that the convention could rcgu^late the election bv ordinance, or that^tliev could by ordinance change or^modify one of the laws in force. Whywas this provided: We had no^state otlicers or state legislature. U'cause^we were a territory; therefore, it was^necessary t^ urovido for mot to regulate.^Mr I'.ditori the aUction of such otlicers.^See bow carefully the enabling act uses^|ha word ^certify^ when it s|^^aks of (ba^returns concerning the adoption of the^constitution and of senators and repre^scntativcH to congress: observe that the^act and the ordinance never use the^word ^certify^ or the wonl ^certilicate^^when state otlicers are concerned Pray, hx'sany law, enabling act. ordinance or^any thing else, declare that the certili ateuwhich the canvassing board issued^should U-prima facie evnlcni* of the^right of the purty to hold his seat: in ^ dxtmi ^^i im ^ IM it I not U Thecourt house is the proiierty of^UBWMMd Clarke county, and the law^makes the count.' ruiiiiin-.
