Proceedings Under tnc Writ of Quo AVarrauto SECOND DAY. Ibo bearing of tbe arguments in the matter ot the writ of quo warrante, directed tu iho Action Mayor and Aldermen of Charleston, was continued yesterday in the Circuit Court before Judge Car pent er. Mr. C. B. Milts, for the Acting Mayor and Alder? men, continued his argument, repejting the s ate ? ment made ou Thursday last that the whole question divided itself into two parts: 1. As to the legality of the whole election; and 2. as to the legality of thc particular votes cast, which second part of thc ques tion bad never been decided, and was now pending. Mr. Mile* reviewed the circumstances attending thc writ of ma-.rfamus issued by tho Supreme Court, and the return of the Mayor and Aldermen and their de? claration of the election, arguing that all that the Supreme Court did was to give the claimants grour-ds upon wli-'b to found their claims to the offices. It was dec.i.-ed by the court that ils decis? ion did not touch the validity of the election. To have touched it'would have been for the court to try a question of fact. AU that tho Mayor and Alder? men had to d o was to d celare who had tho largest num? ber of votes-all other questions being left in abey? ance. The eourt said that the declaration of the elec? tion might be o f no value to the claimants, but that they were entitled to lr. Yet this d ec lar-, t ion is made the basiB of th? Validating act The Supreme Court granted the declaration so that the claimants might be able to make a case and try their title, and the claimants, baying obtained tho declaration for that purpose, bad no right to go before the Legislature and use it for another purpose. Having obtained the act in that way, the act was void and no law. The act did not repeal the city charter, and yet it came in at the middle of the term and ordered an election in November, 18C8. It did not amend the charter, and the Acting Mayor and Aldermen were not divested by it of their right to remain in office. It is a right of the corporators or citizens to bo gov? erned by Mayor and Aldermen duly elected by quali fled persons, while this act proposes to give these offices to persons not duly elected. The Mayor and Al? dermen have the right to hold office until their suc? cessors are elected ; their offices are property of which they cannot be divested but by judgment of their peers or the law of the land. Io these ways the act infringed the rights of the citizens and thc Acting Mayor and Aldermen. Mr. Miles chimed that the act was unconstitu? tional, because it was not universal and general in its application; also, because no person can be de? prived of any right, privilege or immunity except by the j ad-ment of his peers and the law of the land ; also, because it was sn invasion by the Legis? lature of the judicial power, the act bein,* a judg? ment, a penalty, an absolutely judicial act aud de? cree. Aut air!ties showed that the Legislature did exercise judicial power (1) when, by special act, it set aside general laws for the benefit of individ? uals; (2), when it legislates for a special purpose; (3), when it Eecka to determine private controversies; and in these particulars the Legislature, in passing the Validating act, had gone beyond their powers. Nor could the Legislature deprive the Mayor and Aldermen of thc right which they had when the Validating bill was passed-that of holding office until thetr successors were duly elected and qualified. In regard to the c tees quoted on the other side, wherein the Legislature had made gool irregularities and deficiencies in elections and other matters, Mr. Miles said that these cas?s had nc UT been dis? puted, they were acquiesced in by all, while in thiii case threo thousand persons protested against the right of the Legislature to determine wno wore elected. There was no act on thc statute book to confirm tho rights to office of persons' ?hose claims were contested. No act bad ever been parsed to meet such a case os this. Continuing this hne of ar? gument, Mr. Miles analyzed the State precedents relating to the division of Charleston into four wards, and to thc Timmonsvil'e, Mount Pleasant and Moultrieville clo :tioas. showing that in all these OF es tho atjts were passed to cover defots arising from the necessities of the case, thc power which granted the privileges being invoked to remedy tho dtfe:ts. Only the things in which every one con? curred Were confirmed. There was no iufringe mui! ?r it,i?ro," .wi itu Jv^uuiUuii ux privil?ges. Whatever rights tu o claimants had on thc 10th No? vember last, they had now, and no Legislature could take them awa?. But, on the other hand, if the elec? tion was an illegal one, the acting Mayor and Alder? man could not be deprived ot their right to hold office until their successors were legally elected. The act ia aleo unconstitutional, because "every act or resolution having the force of law shall relate to but one subject, und that shall be expressed In tue title." Now the act If it does anything does re? peal the city charter and does repeal certain acts and military ordera as far u they refer to the Acting Mayor and Aldermen. Neither is expressed in the title, and the act is void. Mr. Miles also eaid that on the day that this case was argued for the first time (March 19) the Legisla? ture passed an act which provided that no execution or final process in a mandamus, quo warrante or ha? beas corpus should be stayed by reason of a writ of error or appeal. That act could not apply, however, to a writ ot quo warrante already granted, and being contained in an act to regulate attachments, was ob? noxious also to the sec.ion of the constitution just quoted. Mr Miles then took up the Fourteenth Constitu? tions! amendment, that while prior to its adoption the United States Supreme Court bad no power to revise tho actions of the States, except where there was tua. ex post facto law or an impairing of contracts, that court had now tho power to revise any state law affecting the liberty, privileges and immunities of the citizen. This amendment had for its object the protection of tho colored people, and now it had be? come the protection of those against whom it was intended to protect-the weaker class. This Four? teenth amendment did away with all precedents prior to its adoption. The Supreme Court can do what it could not do before. Tho Validating act de? prives certain persons of the equal protection of thc law, and the Fourteenth amendment will secure to ?hern that equal protection. Thus what seemed to bo a sharp swerd will pn,ve our s,o:less shield. This is what is expected hyw ?he Jjdiciary, the ??ia of thc constitution. Tho Hon. W. D. Porter then opene 1 the closing argument on the same- sidIntroducing his reason? ing by im allusion to the importance of the eas" and the magnitude of the interests involved in it, and by a reference to the celebrated case of Rex vs. tho City of London, he said that the City of Chariest -n was no* on trial, not, it is true, foro lorfeitu o of charter, but io invado her ancient charter ami the time-hon? ored privileges of her citiz.ns. Thif was not pro? posed to bo douo by a political process, but by a legislrtivc enactment. Tho quest'on was one'o bc trie 1 in tho courts, and thc acting Mayo.- and Alder? men bad always been anxious that tho facts ehou'.d go befoiea jury. This had been thwarted by the demurrer of the claimants, who admitted thc fae's and rested their whole claim upon tho validity of thc act ot the Leyislaluo called the Validating act. "1 bc whole caso wa' ponding because ihe quo wirrania case ia the Supreme Court had not been properly discontinued. This was plain and e i a.; : - > upen the Strict tecbn'cal ground, tho act was void as aniaterierence with a ca-e aotualiy lu Cv uri. And upon the hroade.- ground, the Legn'aiure had no power to interfere, bceau-o tho cor? porators who . contested the election are in ?our' and have never been out of court. They have filed their petition se'ting forth thc iilcgility o." the elcctiou, and that i ctition has never been dis? missed. Thp peiitionors still knoolr at thc doors and ask (hat the case be triod. AU that the Supreme Court decided w*s that thc Acting Board of Alder? men iiiust dec oro who had received the largest number of vote and the who'.o question as to the va idiry of the olection and the illegality of the votes cast was stiU before thc courts. Si ppose that it were a q.cation as to tho validity of a title to a piero ol laud, ard that whlla the cause was being tried the Leot-^aturc passtd an act declaring that thc tl le to tho luau shou'd be vahd and binding, would the court go on with tho cause or be bound by that ic ? Tho court would so on. And the earn s principle ap piicj ?o office and privi'ege. for where tho paitioa havo the right toa trial their ciscs can only bo deci? ded by thc courts. Tho Charlodon election was valli or invalid. If invalid, the Mayor and Aldermen hold office undi there is a valid e e*tion. It valid, who were elected ? This ls a question of votes am' facts, and can only be datermined by a Jury. I. either oase lt must be determined by the courts. Mr. Porter showed that the act was discrimin?t ing. unusual, at variance with the facts, ?nd founded on untruth, and argued that whatever the (ruth the matter, tlie act was not a proper exercise of tl judicial power, but a judgment and tentcace. function that could only bo oscrci-'od by thc court Ho pointed out thc unconstitutionality of thc act i relating to more thau one fubject, and the snbje not expressed iu tho title. And if any right < privilege ie tobe rakia trom the citizens it munt I done by an express act, or is otherwise illegal ar void. 1 herc is also an appropriate legal remedy lt the claimants, and where such ls the case any inte fereucc by the Legislature is improper and unwa ran'ablc. He showed thc discriminating chancle of tho act, and that by it Mr. Clark and his Aldemar were cut out from tho benefit of the law of the lani If the Legislature modified or changed charters must ba under prop? r limitations. The Legislatut confided certain potrera under the charter of tl city, and as long as those powers aro not repealei ?ho Legislature cannot, by a tide wind, knock fro; under the feet of their agents their rights and priv loges and administer tor them the thing* authorize to be done in their owu way. lt there was no cle bon there must be a new election. If thero ht been an election, the Legislature cannot decide wi were elected. As long as the charter ls of force, an it has not been repealed, thc Legislature cannot ol trude itself. And if the election was void there mu bo a new elejtion. Iho ejection has bein hel under tho law, and no one is declared elected; ther fore, tho Mayor and Aldermen must hold ow r uni the expiration of their term, unless there is an eic lion under a spcial oct. The Validating bill is ni only retrospective, but it undertakes to unseat M Clark and his Aldermen und seat Mr. Pillsbury ar bis Aldemen. It ie contrary to the spirit ol allia and to the express terms of the constitution. Mr. Potter explained the circumstances attendii: the cases of Mount Pleasant, Tlmmonsvillc ai Moultrieville, showing that thej did not bear upc the present case, saying emphatically that the o: Legislature of South Carolina never did undertake inferiere with a contested election, outside of mei bera of its own body. He called fur the enforcemei ol that section of the constitution, which dedin that all laws shall be equal in their application, ai argued that under the Fourteenth constitution amendment the huprome Court c .uld, in all cases deprivation of rights or property, reviow and revii the action ot tho States. lu conclusion, he said th he committed the case to the court with full con; dence. We looted to the courts in these limes r?volution as we would do to the protecting shado of a great rock in the weary land. The ?hades bi come over us like the shadow of a summer clou and we hoped that as a summer cloud it would pa away and leave not a wreck behind. Alter the recess of the court, tte Hon. D. T. Co bin began the closing argument for tb .-claimant O. Pills jury and others. He said that he approac! ed the case with a fitting senso ol its importanc and felt as deeply as any could do th" raomentoi interests which it Involved. He said that prior No vemos? 10, thc Acting Mayor and Aldermen he office by virtue of mili ai y order?, the elections 1806, and the acts of 1608. But thc act to quid righ under military order.? applied only to rights of pro crty, and was in force to that end only, except as persons holdng office wha would hold until the successors were elected and qualified. Tait waa tl only tenure by which they held. The othor ac wore to tho tame effect. The elections of Novombi 10 were he'd under thc Municipal election law, at if that law had been carried out, tho tenure-oi-olli must have terminated, and if thc validity of thc eic tionis sustained, thc Acting .Mayor atxTAldera? min^ vacate. Mr. Corbin then stated tb- wbo.e ca of thc cloctlou of November 101b, sayiug th some import int points had beon omittct doubtless? inadvertently ? thc statement mad by thc O'berside. Ho sail tbat if the Mayor ba promptly dec'arcd the e'.oction much trouble woul havo boen avoided. He bad pleaded to the juiisdi tion of the Actiug Board ol' Aldermen, claiming th; they could docide betweeu candidates only, and ni the legality of the e'ection. 'I ho irregularities i the election were passed upon by the Suprem Court, for it tho roaaous given by tho Ac'ing Boar of Aldermen nad boen sufficient to vitiate thc elei tion the court would not have granted the mondana, or have said that ti e grounds were insufficient. Th declaration wa? then made that G. Pillsbury an other? received tho lugosi number of votes. Tba was all that was accessary. The po-tenpt iu whici ?.?.^-.?fw-it.-? -ere cTCCTTd* .... .v.:J ??J uoi l??c?i sary, and w is impertinent. Vi hen he moved to at tad the Aldermen, the case was argued and the cour declared the return sufficient. Behind this thc res pendents could not go. Whtro the Beard was wroni was in not deciding between tho parties. If they hat declared Mr. Lcsesne elected, the other party coull have said and done noding. What they wanted wa a decision, and they had it at last. Had the Boan declared Tom Jones elected no one could have over? come the decision. The question of fact, of whtct counsel spoke, had been determined by the declara tiona of the votes cast and could not be tried again So the defendants declared themselves out of office and Pillsbury and his Aldermen elected. In regan to himself, as the matter took a rath-r persona turn, he would say that he had done what he tx lieved to be bis plain and simple duty. He was nol shaken by the shirpness of adverse criticism, not did ho retain any unkind (ealing. It was his dosin to set tho whole cage at rest beyond all doubt whicl cau-el him to draw up the Vaiiditiug act. Mr. Corbin thcu reviewed the acts which form tbi city charter, citing authority to show that the charte was always subject lo the control acd revision by thi General Assembly. Ibo city was chartered for pub Ho purposes, and thero was no such thing as a veatei right in it Tbe charter had beoa amended in ever; possible way as it might properly be since tbe corpora tion eiercisoJ its powers lu and by th: General As-em bly, and not for thc benefit of thc citizens. Contract! frith third persons could not be interfered with, bu all else could bc changed, or even abolished. Tb Legislature could confer legislativo powers on mu nicipal bodies, but it had t!:c right to abolish then without consulting thc wislitsof thc corporators. Remedial statutes hold good when retrospective, cv? if th?y interfere with vested rights, the principle be hag that they refer to property and not to rights un der putilic corporations tor public purpos.-s ; BC that these chartered rights and vrst -d rights an not recognized in law or fact, and only exist ia tho im? agination of attot noyu. lu support of ihenc position! Mr. Corbin cited Judge Co ilcy on thc law of corpor? ations. The further hearing of thc argument was thor pos poned to to-day at 10 A. M. TBE THEATRE-TEMPLETON'S OPERETTA.
