ANOTHER (-LAHR IS IMMINENT. Iliense May Ile Mandamused to Coin mission llu/tml as Special J inigo. (Columbia Record, 6th.) Governor Bleasc. asked Monday as to whether reports from Florence, to the effect that be had submitted to the Supreme Court a list ol' attorneys whom he was willing to commission, upon the court's recommendation, as special judges, said that the list as published was for the most par! cor rect; "but," he added, "of course tiley had to lie a little on me to make it interesting." Governor Blease furnished, upon request, a copy of his letter, as fol lows: Hon. Ira R. Jones, Chief Justice, Lancaster.-Dear Sir: 1 would re spectfully suggest to you the follow ing named gentlemen, members of the bar of South Carolina, who are quall lied, competent and well enough learned In the law to hold any court that may be held or will have to he held in this State: W.

Another clash between the Gover nor and the Supreme Court ls now im minent, for the Georgetown bar has suggested to the court the designa tion of Walter I, Hazard, of George town, as a special judge, to preside over a terni ol' the Georgetown county court soon to be convened. Mr. Haz ard's name does not appear on the Governor's list of "eligibles." and lt remains to be seen whether Governor Please will refuse to commission him in ease the court recommends lils ap point ment. In the decision banded down Satur day, the court held that the commis sioning of a citizen, whom the Su preme Court might recommend for special judge, was an act purely min isterial, tlie performance of which ls obligatory upon the Governor; beean no more withhold the commission than he can refuse to commission an olllcer elected by the General Assem bly. Mandamus May Issue. Should the Governor, in the face of this decision, decline to issue a com mission to Mr. Hazard on the court's recommendation, there would be pre sented, squarely, the question whe ther the Supreme Court can man damus Hie Governor to perform a ministerial act. lu its decision of Saturday there is the intimation that in such event the writ of mandamus would issue; but the court Intimates also that with issuance of the writ tho court would stop. In the lan guage of Justice Taney, quoted by the court, "the judiciary" would then have "exhausted itself." This would relieve Hie court from the necessity of actually coercing tho Governor, but would lay on him the onus of non obedience to the solemn command of the State's highest tribunal, in which ls vested by the people the ultimate right of construing tho law, the Gov ernor also neing bound by law to sup port, uphold and defend the law as by the court Interpreted. Circuit Judge 111. The need of a special judge at Georgetown arises from the same dr en instances as that which caused the request for a special judge in Morry -the illness of Hon. J. C. Klugh, of Abbeville, the circuit judge who was to have presided over the courts of that circuit lids spring. Governor Please is quoted ag hav ing declared that Judge Klugh ought to resign.
