SATURDAY, APRIL 6,1872.
For President:
Ulysses S. Grant.
ANOTHER REPUBLICAN YIC
TOKYII!
Connecticut has elected a Republican
Qovornor by a clear majority over all
tho other tickets in tho field,?Demo
cratic, Bo form, Temperance, Labor and
everything elso. In the Legislature the
majority on joint ballot is 30; last year
it was 24. Another for Grant! !
The Charleston Newt of tho 1st inst
ant publishes the following form of
protest, whioh, it says, was "suggested by
eminent legal counsel, against the
iniquitous license law"
"Charleston,?day of?, 1872.
I hereby give notice to the county
treasurer that tho license fco required
of me under the act to provide for a
general license law is paid under protest
on the ground of illegality, snd under
duress or threat and fear of criminal
prosecution and pain of imprisonment;
and that an action will be brought
against the county treasurer to recover
it back. The grounds arc :
1. That the constitution has not
delegated to the Legislature any power
to establish a general liconse systora,
and all powers not delegated remain
with the peonle.
2. Tbut the license fees are taxes in
disgnise, and arc unequal and wanting
in tho uniformity prescribed by the
constiftwcnT
3,. That the only tax allowed by tho
Constitution is a proportional tax on
property and a poll tax not exceeding
one dollar per head, and it is provided
tbat this tax be annual and in pursuance
of a law stating the object or objects to
which it is to be applied, all of which
provisions are violated in tho license
act." *
Now this "form" may have been "sug
gested" by cmincut legal counsel, for
men are frequently willing to suggest
what they are unwilling to support (for
instance Ku Kluxism,) but we have yet
to learn that any gent'eman of the bar
has so far hazarded his professional re
putation as to say, coolly and advisedly,
that these grounds of objection arc souud
in law. We assert, confidently, that
they are not. The protest is based, prin
cipally, upon the fallacious assumption
that the demand of a fee, for permission
to do an act, is identical with the impo
sition of a tax upon property. No
greater mistake is possible. For while
tho Legislature is, by general provisions
of the Constitution, limited, to a certain
extent, in its power to subject property to
?U?itiOw?i {/UrUvw?, ili SSSirO: "T"" ih^
action of tho citiicn is absolute, save
where specifically restrained by the Con
stitution of the State or of the United
States. Arid this appears clearly by the
provisions of Sec. 41 Art 1 of the State
Constitution, which declares that "the
enumeration of rights in this Constitu
tion shell not be eoustrued to impair or
deny others retained by tho poople, and
ail powers not herein delegated remain
with the people."
The Constitution in no way dcp-?ved
the peoplo of tho right to impose
license feus, and that right they, through
their representatives, the Legislature,
have exercised.
So far as the protest is against what
is charged to be an attempt at indirect
taxation?aud having special reference,
we suppose, to those sections of tho new
law requiring licooses to bo paid for
the use of property, as in tho cases
of banks, railroad corporations, phos
phate miners, &c.?it is evident that
the "eminent legal counecl" must have
occn restrained from putting their
"?Uffgestioas" into more positive form by
? 'consideration of tho 37th section of
the Article ?bore referred to: "No aub
Bidy, charge, impost tax or duties shall
be. established, fixed, laid or levied, under
any pretext whatsoever, without the con
tent of the people, or their representatives
hucfuUy cusembled."
If this license law is unconstitutional,
it must, under oar last citation, bs for
one of two reasons; either, first, that
the Legislative* is, qot the representative
of the people, 'or, second', that tho Leg
islature, although the representative ot
the pcoplo, was not lawfully assembled.
In either of which cases, and from
the further fact that the Constitution
nowhere specifically confers upon the
Legislature the right to punish or pre
vent crime, all existing laws wherein the
General Assembly has exercised that
prerogative are equally unconstitutional.
It would be difficult to find a case
where legal counsel have more clearly
established their claims to "eminence*'
than when the above form of protest
was so carefully and guardedly offered
as a mere "suggestion"?too ticklish and
dangerous a thing to appear over the
signature of any one of all the many
profound iawycrs of the Charleston bar.
The law is in force and is law, and we
see now no use in discussing, cither
favorably or unfavorably, tho ad visa- |
hility or propriety of its provisions,
aside from the legal questions involved.
We recognise, however, as both just and
true, the plain, patriotic announcement
of tho Constitution that "Each individ
ual of sooicty hss a right to be protected
in the enjoyment of life, liberty and
property according to standing laws, nnd
should therefore contribute his share to
the expense of his protection, and give
his personal service when necessary."
Viewed by the light of this axiomatic
declaration wo seo no reason why pro
fessional men, bankers, corporations and
others should not, at last, bo compelled
to pay some part of those governmental
expenses which are incurred for the
protection and well being of all classes,
but which have hitherto been borne
almost exclusively by the quiet, patient,
hard-working farmer and land-holder.
defeat in Connecticut is the increase oft
strength which it will give to the sound
or.,1 oonaihlo members of the party who
feel that they can stand firmly and
squarely on the platform put forth by
Judge Seiden and Mr. Greelcy, and oan
join hands with the Liberal Republicans
against the common enemy.? Charles
ton Newt.
This is charming. It shows how good
tho Charleston Aetctcan be, by accident.
Mere ii the truo spirit of that beautiful
philosophy of Tapleyism, which is de
termined to he jolly under all circum
stances.
"One great advantage of a Democratic
defeat in Connecticut!" ? one only !
What aro tho others, pray??from a
Democratic stand point. We think they
are innumerable, but we want to hear
more from the JYewe.
What happiness there is in store for
tho News in tho coming elections ! It
was quietly content over a sound thrash
ing in New Hampshire; it beamed
placidly over another in Connecticut.
Another Republican victory and it will
chuckle with still greater satisfaction ;
another, and it will laugh outright with
gladness. And when Grant is elected,
I a few months henoo, our amiable but
illogical namceaKs will probably dissolve
in an orgasm of political and journalistic
joy. Wo only pray that its glee may
not become hysterical. We couldn't
stand tbo News in hysterics. Anything
but that!
And how consoling to us who are to
do the thrashing, to know that those
who aro to take it really liko it, after
all !?that in fact, they rather consider it
a blessing !
We shall hereafter please both our
selves and the Democrats, and profit the
whole world, by administering the casti
gatioo with a rapid aud animated cres
cendo.
It is said that polities in Orangeburg
are looking up, several eandicateshaving
already commenced wire pulling. We
learn that probate Judge Andrews will
surely bo elected Sheriff of that county,
it is not our province to interfere in the
local politics of any section of our Stato,
but we will bo pardoned for sayiug that
i the Republicans of Orangeburg County
would do honor to themselves and justice
to a faithful Republican, in giving their
solid support to Jtsdgo Andrews.?Char
