Governor Tillman gave out the following
searching interview on the recent dclsimi o
Judge slmonton, committing Constable
S vvuri 11 to jiil for con tempi.
' The decree of Judge Slmonton in the
Swann case Is an extraordinary document.
Judge Simonton cannot be supposed to have __
any i 1 will toSwann, anil therefore can have M
hut twoobjecls: First, to briug the administration
or the Dispensary law ijilo dlsri-pute;
second, to paralyze t|ie constables in their el.
forts to prevent the importation of contra- I
ha nil liquors into thcState.
I "!r, Is no Illogical, predjudtcial and tyranl- i
cul thai I feci constrained against my will to
criticise it, and 1 do this that the people ol
the State may read the decision and these
I. comments 011 it at the same time. It may he
unwise in mo to do this when it. is well
?. known that, the railroad tux eases, the Auric.
cull lira I Hail ease, anil the ease Involving the
powers of the KuiHoad Commission are all
[i. pending before this Mime tribunal. Hut exj.
perlenee lias shown that the present administration
has nothing to expect from this.ludge
>s but adverse decisions, without regiird to the
merits of any case presented. J shall, theretore,
use pin in language and call things by
their names.
Swan 11 was ordered lo Jail yesterday, hut
_ has since been released on parole by order ol
the Jndg", perilling an appeal to the Supreme
Court of the United Stales 011 ha bras corpus.
For this he has our grateful thanks.
"The facts upon whlen .Indue Simon ton acted
are stated by him as follows: Swunn, n
Slate constable, seized a barrel of whiskey In
1 tie warehouse of the South Carolina Hallway
R on the lirsl day of August without a warrant
ir to either search or seize, and took no furthei
.r sleus than to deposit it with the sheriff 01
r Charleston couniy. The whiskey luul been
received l>y ihe South Carolina Railway on
e April lUth, and was held for delivery t>y r?-aI,
son of some doubt a* to whoin it belonged.
Is Swaiin Is charged by the Judge with acting
(1 on his own authority, without instruction*;
0 certainly from any one 1n tiie legal department
ot the Slate, and in all probability he
p. was without instructions from any ottier peri.
sun.
"Tliis is his ofleiico as set forth by the judge,
r- and Swann is committed to prison for contempt,
of court, upon this showing.
"The real facts are ttiese: Swann notllb-d
me as Governor, that there was a barrel of
. whiskey io tlie depot and asked Instruction.
I ordered him to seize it and deposit it with '
the sherill, taking iln-nToi a receipt. When
1 asked later as to particulars, he said the rallri.nd
people claimed that the barrel had been
shipped In April, but showed no manifest or'
! way bill to proffe it. Swu mi's crime, then,
I was that he obeyed the < Jowrnor of theState,
whose appointee Ins was under the Iiisrenjsarv
law; seized a package of lli|iior which
* hail 110 certitlcato on it, as required by the i
I law ; was -in quantity going to show that it j
was for sale.'and deposited it with an otlii-er i
lot' ilit* Stale Court toawait t tie :uHioii of that! I
' 'court uk to its ownership unil legal disposl- f
lion.
' I "is there any federal question hero giving
' j ilie .1 uduc of the t'nitcd States Court Jurisdic1"
11 it tn ? There is according to Judge Si moiitoo.
I; i-4contempt of court because the railroad Is
hi the hiinits of a receiver, an appointee of
jtliat court. Now, let u* examine the reasonj
inu and the law upon which tills man lias
, iieen dcorlved of iiis liberty and imprisoned,
j Judge Nwnonton says: 'Were this .simply a
I case ol interference, with properly in the
| hands mill custody of this court without no
j tlce to it, and without action on its port, its
settlement would lie easy,' and then with the
I humility ol 1'riali ilrep, lie say, 'lie (the reI
eeiver) and the court from whom lie holds his
appointment, are servantsof the law, exce|>.
tl'inaily bound to pay it the utmost deference
j and respect. 1 >111 the real issue in tills case is
j vastly more Important than an interference
with property in hands of the court,'con1
tinues the learned Judse. He then discusses
| ! the right to search and seize property,' and
I denies the legality o| Swann's action, claim41
Iiik i' to be uiKJOiistilutlonal. I,el us see how
iswatin, accord in it to Judge Simon ton, must
I hav? proceeded under tiie.se circumstances.I;
In the first pliice.swann never did search the i South
Carolina Kail road depot. Ji?; only!
went in when the doors were open and used j
| his yye.s to look about, and In doing so lie cer1
a inly broke no law. Judge Simonlon says
I he should have got out a warrant, and I will
| ask his honoraaaitist whom? Against a bar-'
I re I of whiskey ? No trial lust ice would have i.?x,
granted it, for warrants are not issued aaainst,
! things. Ageinst the receiver? That 'olllceri yr.(
I' of th<' court' had done uolhiiit: and again lie ,'.ot
would have been unable to have obtained a i ?j?0,
j warrant. !
> "I'lie I'liited Slates revenue olllcers are not

liaiid whiskey, ami i ?i?*ny that it. is possible! r
i or lawful to get a warrant lor contraband j
