public officialds are legitimato sub

and onapccially is this applicable tc
p)ersons9 who clain to repre'sent thc
p)eoll. A short review, therefort
of the above case is appropriate, and
at the same time due to all1 partion
concerned. At the session of th<
House last spring, ani eITort was
mado by some citizens of this county
to keep Martmn from being seated,
bocanse of his well-known hostilhty
-to the whi,tes,, and bQcaLuse the fact
wasi. notorious that hre was utterly
ulnfitted, educationally, mentally and
mnorally, to represent man intelligent
constitulenc2y in the Legislature.
Besidecs, many of the best lawvyers it
the S[ata gaive it as their opinion
thait hie had forfeitcd all claims to
his seat by rehising to qualify it2
th it body which the S upreme Coui1
had decided [o be the legal and con
sti tu tional House of Representativos
This opinion was based upon what
was regarded as a correct interpre
tation of Sec.tion 29, Article IL', o;
the Constitution of the State.
The House, however, in pursuance
of what it deemed a wise policy
but ertainly a costly one to the tax
payers, showed a disposition to disre
gamrd 11 [ho objoetions to M-artii
which were being urgedi by botl;
protest and memorial, signed by no1
less than one hundred of the bos
citizens of the county, and pushe
forwvar'd by a conunittoo sien- x
Columbia for [1he om( jYV(. C>onso
quontly it wvas dotormined to ba
the objections upon higher ground
At this juncture of affairs the infor-.
muation was voha4nteored by a colored
man that Miartin, previous to hif
marriage with the step--daughter oi
Israel Byrd, had married 1X(artlym
Martin, a daughter of Moses Martin,
-' and that the first wife was still
-living. This information made out
S a strong prima facie case ol
bigamy, and was acted upon im-'
mediately. Several other colored
persons were found who could in
piart substantiate the sftanet of
the party who first furnished thc
clue upon %which subsequent pro
ceedings wero based. And as t
natter of fact, a WoniaiU Callin)g
1ort3elf Sallio Gibson mnado an
allide vit before a trial justico that
she was present at, and witnoseod
the first marriage, giving time,
place and circumstances. A new
protost was accordingly framed,
alleging the above facts, and a
warrant Qf arrest was issued foi
Martin on the charge of bigamy,
and the shoriff of the county
dospatched to Columbia with the
warrant. Israel Byrd, the in
dividual who at present disgraces
the position of Senator, and who
also enjoys the proud distinction
of being Martin's stop father, in a
convorataion with gentlemen whc
accompanied tho shoriff to Colum.
bia, admitted the fact of Martin'E
first marriago and asserted that if
timo wero allowed himi he could
produce the decree of divorcement
granted to Martin by Trial Justice
Kirkland, beforo marrying a scoond
time. Indeed, Byrd was at the doou
of the room, occupied by the com
mitteo considoring Martin's caso
purposing to applar boforo the coi
mittqp and make this statouent
whoi a member of the commit
too came out of the room.
This gentlemn.i, Mr. Shop
pird, was accw3ted by Major
Woodward, and introduced to Byrd
who told Mr. Shoppard what he dle
sired to say to the committee. Upon
Byrd's stating to Mr. Shoppard the
sublstane of th above, the latter
replied that a divorcoment by a trial
justice amounted to no more that
one granted by a pointer dog. This
characteristic remark spoilt the
game, and Byrd then declinod to go
before the committee. Martin was
afterwards arrested, and gave bond
for his appearanco for trial at thc
Court of Sessions. Subsequently h
was admitted to his soat in the House
At the recent term of court the case
against Martin was given to th<
grand jury, ar,d Sallie Gibson ani
Israel Byrd were both summnoned
to testify. To the delight of Mar
tin and his numerous colored
admirers those witnesses swore thai
they know nothing about the
alleged first marriage, and tl
grand jury in accordance returned
no bill. This terminated the pro
coedings, and in this outrageous man
ncr were the ends of justice defeatr
ed. It is a true saying that
"mnurdIer will out," and both Martir
an yr vill yet realize that th(
lw ofthe land and of eociet
cannot be violated with impunity.
