ANOTHER REPUBLICAN TIC
TORY!!!
Connecticut has elected a Republican
Governor by a clear majority over all
tho other ' tickets in the field,?Dcmo
i'. . .
oratio. Re form. Temperance, Labor and
everything else. In the Legislature the
majority on joint ballot is 30; last year
it was 24. Another for Orant I !
The Charleston News of the 1st inst
ant publishes the following form of
protest, which, 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 the license fee 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 snd pain of imprisonment;
and that an action will be brought
against the county treasurer to recover
it back. The grounds are :
1. That the constitution has not
delegated to the Legislature any power
to establish s general liconse system,
snd all powers not delegated remain
wifb the. reo Die. . . .
?. That tho license fees are taxes in
disguise, snd are nuequaj and wanting
in tho uniformity prescribed by the
constitution. ~*
3. That the only tax allowed by tho
constitution is s proportional tax on
property snd a poll tax not exceeding
one dollar per hesd, and it is provided
that this tax ho annual and in pursuance
of a law stating the object or objects to
which it is to be applied, all of which
provisions aro violated in the license
set*'' : '
Now this "form" may have been "sug
gested" by eminent legal oounsel, 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 gronnds of objection aro sound
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
the Legislature is, by general provisions
of the Constitution, limited, to a certain
extent, in its power to subject property to
additional burdens, its control over the
action of the citizen is absolute, save
where specifically restrained by the Con
stitution of the State or of the United
States. Add 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 shall sot be construed to impnir or
deny others retained by the people, and
all powers not herein delegated remain
with the people."
The Constitution in no way deprived
the peoplo of tho right to impose
licenso feos, and that right they, through
their representatives, the Legislature,
have exercised.
So far as the protest is against what
is chsrgcd to be an attompt at indirect
taxatiou?and having special reference,
we suppose, to those soctions of tho now
Isw requiring liconses to be paid for
the use of property, as in tho cases
of banks, railroad corporations, phos
phate miners, &c.?it is evident that
the "eminent logal counsel" must hove
ocen restrained from putting their
I "jynrestioas" into more positive form by
l^feoiiideration of tha 37th section of
thl Article above i^er^to^'No^ub
?idjf charge, impott tip or' dutiet ?hall
bo.established, fixed, laid or levied, under
any pretext whatsoever, without the con
tent of the people, or their representatives
lau fully assembled."
If this license law is unconstitutional,
it must, under our last citation, be for
one of two reasons', either, first, that
the Legislature^ is, not the representative,
of the pcopl?, or, secoud', that'tho Leg
islature, although the representative ot
the people, was not lawfully sssemblei.
In .either of which esses, 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 arc 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 gnardedly offered
as a mere "suggestion"?too ticklish and
dangerous a thing to appear over the
signature of any one of all the maoy
profound lawyers of the Charleston bar.
The law is i.i force and is law, and we
see now no use in discussing, either
favorably or unfavorably, tho advisa
bility or propriety of its provisions,
aside from the legal questions involved.
We recognise, however, as both just and
true, the plain, patriotic announcement
of the Constitution that "Each individ
ual of society has a right to be protected
in the enjoyment of life, liberty and
property according to standing laws, and
should therefore contribute his share to
the expense of his protection, and give
his personal service when necessary."
Vicwed by the light of this axiomatic
declaration wo seo no reason why pro
fessional men, bankers, corporations and
others should not, st last, be 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 of.
strength which it will gixa to the sound.
?tut MMihle members of the party who
feel that they can stand firmly s?d
squarely on the platform put forth by
Judge Seiden and Mr. Greeley, and oan
join hands with the Liberal Republicans
against the common enemy.? Charles
ton Neves.
This is charming. It shows how good
tho Charleston Aetoacaa be, by accident.
Here is the true spirit of that beautiful
philosophy of Tapleyism, which is de
termined to be jolly under all circum
stances.
"Ono great advantage of a Democratic
defeat in Connecticut 1" ? one only !
What are tho others, pray??from a
Democratic stand point. We think they
are innumerable, but wo want to hear
more from tho News.
What happiness there is in store for
the News in tho coming elections 1 It
was quietly content over a sound thrash
iog in New Hampshire; it beamed
placidly over another in Connecticut.
Another Republican victory and it will
chuckle with still greater satisfaction;
another, aud it will laugh outright with
gladness. And when Grant is elected,
a few months henoo, our amiable but
:n??:?_i nmhahlv dissolve
in an orgasm of political and journulistio
joy; We only pray that ita glee may
not become hysterical. We couldn't
stand the News in hysterics. Anything
but that I
And how consoling to us who are to
do the thrashing, to know that those
who aro to take it really iiko it, after
all!?that in fact, thoy rather oonsider it
t blessing 1
We shall horcafter please both our
selves and the Democrats, and profit the
whole world, by administering the casti
gat ion with a rapid and animated cres
cendo.
It is said that polities in Orangeburg
are looking up, several eaudicatea having
already commenced wire pulling. We
learn that probate Judge Andrews will
surely be elected Sheriff of that county.
It is not our province to interfere iu the
local politics of any section of our State,
hut we will bo pardoned for saying that
the Republicans of Oraugeburg County
would do honor to themselves and justice
to- a faithful Republican, iu giving their
solid support to Judge Andrews.? Char
