For this he has our grateful thanks. The facts upon which Judge Simon ton acied are Btated by him as fallows: I Swan, a State constable, seized a bar rel of whiskey in the warehouse of the ftjjath Oajrolina railway on the first day of August without a warrant to either search Or seize, and took *no further steps, than to deposit, it with the sheriff of Chacl^tou couuty. The whiskey foad been "received by the South Carolina railway on April 12, and was held for deliver^ by reason of some doubt as to whom it belonged. Swan is charged by the judge with acting on his own authority, without instructions, certainly from any one hi the legal department of tbe State, anil in all probability he was without in structions from any other person. , ''This is his offence as set forth by the judge, and Swan is committed to prison for contempt of court upon this showing. '?The real facts are^J^ej^ Swan notified me as Governor, that there was a barrel of whiskey in the depot and asked instruction. I ordered him to .seize it and deposit it with the sher iff, taking Aherefor a receipt. . When asked later for particulars, he said the railroad people claimed that the barrel had been- shipped in April, but ^showed no manifest or. way bill to prove it Swan's crime, then, was tJiat he obeyed the Governor of the State, Whose appointee he was und^t? the disjfensary law; seized a package of liquor which had no certificate on it as required by law; was 'in quantity going to show that it was Tor sale,' and deposited it with an officer of the State court to await the astion of that court as to its ownership and legal dis position. e J . ' , "Is there any Federal question here giving the judge of the United States Cnnrt jurisdiction? There is accord ingM? Judge Simon ton. It is con tempt of court because the railroad is in the hands of a receiver, au ap pointee of that court Now, let us examine the reasoning and the law upon which this man has been" de prived of his liberty and imprisoned. Judge Simonton says: 'Were this simply a esse of interference with property in the hands and custody of this court without notice to it, and without acton on its part, its settle ment would be easy,' and then with the humility of Uriah Heep; he saya, 'he (the receiver) and the court from whom he holds his appointment, are servants of the law, exceptionally bound to pay it the utmost deference and respect But the real * issue in in this case "is vastly more important than an interference with property in the handS^pf the court continues the learned juage.. He then discusses the right to search TBjd seize property,' and derfies the legality of Swan's ac tion, claiming it to be unconstitutional. Let us see how Swan, according to Judge Simonton, must have proceed ed under these circumstances. In the first place, Swan never did search the Sooth Carolina Railrpad depot He only wen) in when the doors were open ami used his eyes to look about, and in doibgso he certainly broke no law. JudgeSimonton says he should j have got out a warrant, and I will ask his honor against whom? Against a barrel of whiskey? No trial justice would have granted it, for warrants . are not issued against things. Against the receiver? The 'officer of the court' had done nothing and again he Would have been unable to have ob tained a warrant. ' i * uTbe United States reveuue officers are not required to take out warrants againBt contraband whiskey, and i I deny, that it is possible or lawful to get a warrant for contral and whis key under the Dispensary law while it is in transit The absurdity and impossibility of carrying out the law under this construction: is, therefore, janparent. ? While the;, constable ?is iiuntiijjpfpr a warrant the train con taining it would move on, or if in the depot, it *wight be delivered to the consignee. The constitution does guard us against 'unreasonable searches and seizures,' and the only question here is whether Swan's seiz ure was 'unretsanfcle.^ , "Did be break an? doors? JJo. Did ta injure anyone? $o. Did he destroy the property or' convert it to his own use? No. It Was - placed^ in the charge of an officer! of the State court, and Section 2*5 at the act ex k-: ' : J pniriy pJto* 'JM uteaded for unlawful sale in ^ this State mat.be seized in transit and proceeded against as ifit wete unlaw; iilly ket>t and deposed ut &nypj^. Mark yoo, it does not sa^^popeeaea against aihL seized, but proceeded against; allowing lyw the intent of the legislature, w>4 the ?h??. P?JK?~J revenue oincerf :? seizing warrant contraband whiskey, is cer tainly sufficient excuse for my con struction of 'the law and my orders^to Swan. If this construction is nnlaw Jul and unreasonable, then Swan's ac tion was clearly inadvertent contempt, if contempt at all, of the court, inerely a trespass punishable only after eon viclion. by a jury. The judge my contend, and does. contend, that.tbere is no power in this act fofia constable to do otherwise than is expressly al lowed or commanded. But the Gov ernor is authorised to 'appoint con stables to see this act enforced, and the enforcement of this act required that whiskey in transit, without ihe certificate, shall be 'seized and pro ^ceeded against' No power of search is claimed, or has ever been exercised, except under injunction and by order of a circuit judge of the State court. "Judge Simon ton accuses Swan of ^searching,' only to have an excuse for his tyranical decree, and in the face of the facts. But suppose be did search and seize, where is the con tempt? I certainly did not consider for a moment the status of the public .carries as a receiver when I issued the order to Swan, and Swan is a ^simple public official of South Carolina, duly authorized to act under the dispen sary law, and it is infamoup to claim tW be is in contempt of co^rt under those cirottmstances. "The judge said, 'deep down in the heart of the Anglo-Saxon race is the abhorrence of every such exercise of power, almost absolute, and such exercise is never tolerated except in the most extreme and urgent cases, when the safety Of the people becomes the supreme -law.' Aye! and deep down in the heart of the Anglo-Saxon race is burning coutempt and hate for the judge who binds himself to acts of tyranny, or allows himself be the tool of saloon-keepers and corporations. "The mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind v exceedingly small. There may be no reckoning with the j(udge for he is fortified against every thing 'except public opinion. Swan has been adjudged .guilty of contempt and deprived of his liberty without a* trial. He has been accused of con tempt of court and adjudged guilty of unreasonable search and seizure, has been tried for one thing and punished for another. i "Judge Simontou has not shown in -his decree wherein his contempt con sisted. He ignores that point in his argument and we are given to under stand that whiskey in the hands of railroads run by receivers cannot be seized, proceeded against without a warrant. If so it will be contempt to this South Carolina Jeffries. The law is paralyzed to this extent on the bankrnpt roads, and the temperance people and the law abiding citizehs of thp common wealth will know at whose door to lay the blame. . ( "We will carry the case to Wash ington on\ habeas corpus and ask t^ United States Supreme Court to right \ this wrongt We may fare as we did of the sheriffs, but in con w ?/ will never consider either the cost or the result" the right and justice I A Thinking Man Speaks. At the; regular i^eeting of McCall Alliance, No. 49, the following pre amble and resolutions were unani mously adopted: Whereas, It seems that Congress' doeMot intend to give us speedy re lief; and Whereas, It will bankrupt the en tire South to sell cotton at present prices; therefore, be it Resolved, by McCall Alliance No. 49, First, That in case no relief is given by the Congress of the United States, and in the event of a further decline in the price of cotton, we earnestly request the Governor of South Carolina to call the Legislature together in extra session, no later than September 15th { for the purpose of passi-ng a stay law. Second, That we earnestly com mend this matter to the coiyrfttasation I of our Alliance brethren thfoughout the State. I This is from the Cotton Plant and Register. The country in a state of peace, croja, to say the least, moder-< ate, and No. 49 Alliapce calls for a stay law and appeals to other Alli ances to follow suit. Why a stay law now 1 would affect business circles as bad as the ecclesiastical world suffered under an interdict when Popish power was supreme. Then no church could open, no hymn be sung, no cor]>se be buried. A stay law to any extent would silence every loom, tie up every ship and paralyze every industry. Do the gentlemen of No. 49 think? Are they business men? I)o they use' credit to any extent? Have I not the right to ask, are they honest? In this day, when we are suffering from over production in every department ? too much cotton, too much wheat, too much corn, and even now too many (hogs ? and talk about a stay law when Values are unsettled for a waut of con fidence! I do not wonder at the panic. Money has caught a whiff of the taint ed breeze; she has heard the cry of the horse leech, "GiVs!" "Give!" and she is getting out of the way. Now hear No. 49 lecture on finance! Light the lamp of economy. If you have sj>ent the value of four bales of cotton and made only two, pick cotton and put it on the debt. Let not the renter go to the merchant and wiy, "My crop won't pay me out, I turn it over to you!" Gather - it and pay it over to your credwr, and he will help you again. \ Try and pay every obligation. Don't worry about tomorrow ? sufficient tor the day is the evil thereof. Don't try to obstruct the eiforts of the business ! men ? they are as badly pressed as we art. Stop your ears to any man who woild talk stay law. pass him by.
