Your attention is again earnestly invited la Ihe sag- gitdious and recomuH-ndaliobs suhuiitted at the liaises tm in respect lo the Dmlrict ff Columbia. I fe it my duty, also, to bring to your notice certain proceeding at law which hav recently beea prosecu ted in tin District, in the name of Ihe United Stales, on the relation qf Messrs. Stockton and Stoke, of the State of Maryland, apunst tlie Postmaster General, and which have sulttsi 10 the payment or money out of the .N atonal Treasury, tor th Hist time since the es tablitJiment of the Grterument, by judicial compulsion exercist d by Ihe common law writ of outniUmus, iarod by tlie circuit eoort ut ibis District, - The ftcts of the te, and th grounds of the pro ceeding, will be found fully slated in the report of the decision; and any addilitm! information which yen may deetr will be supplied by the proptf department. No interference in lh partn-ular case is contemplated .The msiey bat been paid ; the claim of the prosrou. tors have bt en mtikfied ; and ihe whole subject, so far they are concerned, ia finally disposed of; but it i 00 Ihe Mippmitiotf that tb cas may be regarded u an tuUmritative expisition of tb laif aa it now stand, that I have tliotighl it necestary to present it lo jour conaiderHtian. - - Th object of the application to the circuit court vrts lo compel lh Ponlmaster General lo carry into effect an award made by Ihe Solicitor ol tbt Treasury, under a special aot of Looifn-s for the setilement id certain claims of the relators or. the 1'ost tlthVe Department, which sward the Postmaster Geoersl declined loexe cnto in full, until lie should receive farther legislative direction on tlie subject. If the doty imposed on the Postmaster General, by that law, was to be re;zirded ts one of officii) nature, belonging to bin office aaa branch nt the L.teciiuvit, then it is obvious I hit l the conslitu- j tiornl competency of the Judicary to direct and control ! hup in hisdischarge, was neoeswirily drawn in question. And if the duty wo impeed on the Postmaster General wis iobe.comiKlured i merely iniuisleritl, and md ex-' ccutive, it yet remnund to be shown that the circuit court of this du-lrict had authority to interfere by man damus such a power having never before been aeteN ted or claimed by the court , With a view to the settle-' ment id these imimrtant questions, the tudirment of the circuit eoort was carried, by a writ of error, to the Su preme Court of Ihe United Slates. In the opinion of that tribunal, the duty imposed on tho Postmaster Gen eral was not an official, exfeulie duty, but one oft mere. j nitnw'erml nature. Tbe grave constitutional ques tions which had been discussed were, therefore, excluded ly admitting that, with powers of duties properly belong ing to the EA-eCuiive,''no other department can interfere by the writ of mi.idtmiw; and the question, therefore, resolved itself into tbi : Ua Congre conferred tioort the circuit court of thi District the power tn i,uc luch a writ to an officer of the General Government, com mtnding him to perform a ministerial act f A majority of the ooiirt have decided that it has, but bave founded their decision upon a process of reasoninir which, in m judgment, renders further legislative provision indispen- snois 10 puuuc iiuercsu aim tne equal administra tion pf justice. :''".r '', ' Vy "'J ' v h has long since been decided by the SuprernefJonrt, that neither thai tribunal nor the circuit courts of th U States held within the respective, States, potftesa the power in qnestioo; but it is now held thu thia power, dented In both. of these high Wbuosl fto the former by the Constitution, and to the latter by Congress,) ha been,1i.v,itlejriHlation, vested in the circuif court of this District, But it has been held to result, by necessary itnpticaiion, from several sections of the law estaldidiing the eoort.
