Tho Associate J ustiecB of tho Supremo Court have received tho following letter from Chief Justice Willard, which we publish to givo ex'ict information ns to Ibo sin tua of tho pending coolest lor tho olnec of Chief J ttstioc: CASIIII?U'S YAM.KV, N. C., August 21, 1880. To tin Honorable Associate Justices of th Supremo Court: GUNTI KM ;:\: i have, after innturo re flection, concluded that it is expedient thal 1 should un kc n formal idatcmont of my no.-iiioii and grounds of aot'ou in reference to tho disputed Chief Justiceship, A contest of mich importance, und. which if unwisely conducted, would tond ti impair ibo'dignity and usefulness of tin Court, should not only bc prosecuted with scrupulous icguliirity and proprioty, bm should bo ovidonoed an such in tho records cf l,ho Court, lt in therefore fitting, in ur, : judgment, thut this grave quosti?n, intor ! cuting this Court ns involving its organiza lion, notwithstanding, n?j anticipated, i i will shortly bc presented to thc Court ti sot Upon it in n judicial character, shouh bc Htuted lo such extent ns is appropriate t< its present Mage. The Legislature, at its late session, aclioj upon tho conclusion that n vueanoy wouh exist in the (dlico pf Chief Justice lit tin month of July last past, ol coted His lix* c. Heney Governor Simpson to lill s?el vi caney. Aa the incumbent of that offtti ! i have felt bound to givo full oonside ' ration to the question whether such a va cancy oil it exist consistently will I tho provisions of ibo Constitution. Tin > rcai'ons that have impelled ino to deli bora ti on tho question T will bindy state. Tim decision of questions nrisiii?? ttpoi tho language of tho Constitution belongs i< tho judicial depaitmeiit of tho government und," in the last resell; to thc Suprom C?urt. Thc legislativo body cannot con clusively dotcrmiuo any question of that ohuraotor. It ts competent, howevor, for thc Legislature to tako tho initiative in bringing n question of that ohuraotor before tho courts, lu tho prcscut oaso tho ques tion ooukl not havo aviscu for consideration unless an election to lill tho assumed va cancy hud taken plaoo, and a oluiuiantof tho oiHoo placed iu a position to assort tho existence of such vaoanoy. That courso having been adopted, it remained for ruo to consider what duties devolved upon uro under tho circumstances. 1 havo boen compelled by my sonso of duty io tho im portant ellice which L hold to examine with u view to satisfy my own mind whether tho action of tho Legislature, in tho promises?, loud iu any manner to impair the constitu tiouttl privileges and stability of tho ollioe, and have an ?ved at tho oouolusion that such is tho oise. Il would bc improper at thia time to stale the grounds oi' this conclusion,-us thc question will doubtless assume a judicial lorn:, and iii that state admit, of full discus sion, lt i-j sufficient for tho presout to say that my action procccdj from ti del ?bo rato oonvictiun that the term of olllco of tho Ohiof Justice of tho Supremo Court i.i six years, and that tho Legislature ii com - petunt to elect to lilt thal olfieo for that term alone, if that is a true oon?trttetion, then a vaoaney did not exist us tho Legis lature assumed, nud their action ou that assumption was inoperative. I do not feel nt liberty, against my firm conviction, to allow ?he question to be disposed ot by tho legislative brauch of thc government in a manner that would displace thc propor judicial function of tho Court, and wouid be ant to be regarded nv a precedent practi cally settling tho question against what 1 believe, to bo tho true intent of thu Consti tution. In view ot tho foregoing considerations, I run constrained to decline to vu cu to the oiiicc of Chief Justice in favor ol* C?O present claimant, lt h my desiro that tho present controversy should bc submitted to thc Court ut tho earliest practicable day, po ns to causo tin: least delay and inconvenience lo tho business of tho Court, and in a manner suited to tho high character uf tho lillico which is tho subject of dispute, and havo reason to believe that Govornoi Simp son is actuated by the same desiro and motive. Tho viow that I entertain of tho nature devolves""upon 'tho judicial authority to determine which ia tho proper incumbent of the office. As. that d?termination affects claims of individual right it should bo assorted in n formal proceeding appropriate lu determine questions of a I i ko character U3 affecting other public o'?icc?. In tho mcuutimo, imd until the righlfulnet ; of my position cati bo judicially determined ir. accordance with tho law determining tho succession to public ollioes, I romain, in vested \yith tho functions of tho pfi?ob. i liavo the honor to bo verv respectfully your obedient BcrvWt, A.
