Procer-**naja Under the Writ or Q,uo Warrante .'...Tr, SECOND DAY. I he hear inp of tho ar pumen i s in the matter of tho writ of </i?> warranto, directed to tho Acting Mayor and Aldcrmen of CharlcBton. was continued yesterday tn the Circuit Court before Judge Car pent rr. Mr. 0. B. Miles, for the Acting Mayor and Alder? men, continued his argument, repeating the Stete* mont made on Thursday last that the whole question divided itself into two parts: 1. AB to the legality of the whole election; and 2, as to the legality of the. particular votes cast, whloh second part of theques tion bad never boen decided, and was now pending. Mr. Miles reviewed the circumstances attending the writ ot mandamus issued by the Supremo Court, and tho return of tho Mayor and Aldermen and their de? claration of the election, arguing that all that the Supreme Court did was io give the claimants grounds upon which to found their claims to the offices. It was declared by the court that its 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. All that the Mayor and Alder? men had to do was to declare who had the largest num? ber of votes-all other questions being left in abey anoe. The court said that the declaration of the elec? tion mlgbt be of no value to the claimants, but that they were entitled to lt Yet this declaration is made the basis of tho Validating act. Ihe Supreme Court granted the declaration so that the claimants might be able to make a case and try their title, and the claimants, having obtained tho declaration for that purpose, had 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, 1868. It did not amend the charter, and the Acting Mayor and Aldermen were not divested by it of their right to remain ki office. It is a right of the corporators or citizens to be gov? erned by Mayor and Aldermen duly elected by quail, 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 the Acting Mayor and Aldermen. Mr. Milos claimed that the act was unconstitu? tional, because it was not universal and general in its application; also, because no person can bo de? prived of any right, privilege or immunity except by the judgment of his peers and the law of tho land; also, because it was an invasion by the Legis? lature of the judicial power, the act being a judg? ment, a penalty, an absolutely judicial act and de? cree. Authorities 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 seeks to determine private controversies; and in the a o partie ulara the Legislature, tn passing the Validating act, had gone beyond their powers. Nor could the Legislature deprive the Mayor and Aldermen of the right which they had when the Validating bid was passed-that of holding office until their successors were duly elected and qualified. In regard to the c ises quoted on the other side, whereto the Legislature had made good irregularities and deficiencies in elections abd other matters, Mr. Miles said that these cases had ne ter been dis? puted, they were acquiesced in by all, while in this caso three thousand persons protested against the right of the Legislature to determine who were elected. There waa no act on the statute bock to confirm the rights to office of persona whose claims were contested. No act had ever been pa-sod to meet such a case as this. Continuing this Une of ar? gument, Mr. Miles analyzed the State precedents relating to the division of Charleston into four wards, and to tho TiminonBville, Mount Pleasant and Moult rio ville elections, showing that in all these OF es tho acta were passed to cover defeats arising from tho necessities of the case, the power which granted the privileges being invoked to remedy the defects. Only the things in which every one con? curred were confirmed. There was no infringe? ment of rights, and no despoiling of privileges. Whatever rights the claimants had on the 10th No? vember last, they had now, and no Legislature could take them away. But, en the other hand, if the elec? tion waa an illegal one, die acting Mayer and Alder? man could not be deprived ot then* right to hold office until then* successors were legally elected. The act ls also unconstitutional, because "every act or resolution having the force of law shall relate to but one subject, and that shall be expressed in the title." Now the act if it does anything does re? peal the city charter and does repeal certain acts and military orders aa far as they refer to the Aeliug Mayor and Aldermen. Neither is expressed in the title, and the act is void. ? Mr. Miles also said 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 lu a mandamut, quo warrant? or ha? beas corpus should be stayed by reason of a writ of error or appeal. That act oonld not apply, however, to a writ of quo warrant? already granted, and being contained ia an act to regulate attachments, was ob? noxious also to the-section of the constitution Just quoted. Mr. Miles then took up the Fourteenth Constitu? tional amendment, that while prior to its adoption the United States 8upreme Court bed sc pewsr to revise the actions of the States, except where thero waa an ex post facto law or an impairing of contracts, that court had now the power to revise any State law affecting the liberty, privileges and immunities of tho citizen. This amendment had for its object the protection of the colored people, and now lt had be? come the protection of those against whom lt 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. The Validating act de? prives certain persons of the equal protection of the*) law, and the Fourteenth amendment will secure to ?hem that equal protection. Thus what seemed to be & sharp sword will prove our spotless shield. This it what is expected from the Jddlolary, the Mile ot the constitution. The Hon. W. D. Porter then openel the closing argument on the same side. Introducing hts reason, lng by an allusion to the importance of the case and the magnitude of the interests involved in it, and by a reference to the celebrated case of Bex vs. tho City of London, he said that the City of Charleston was now on trial, not, it is true, fora lorfeituto of charter, but to invade.her ancient charter and the time-hon? ored privil?ges of her citizens. This was not pro? posed to be done by a political broceas, bat by a legislative enactment. The question was one to be urteil in the courts, and the Acting Mayor and Alder? men bad always been anxious that the facts should go before a jury. This had been thwarted by the demurrer of the claimants, who admitted the facts and rested their whole claim apon the validity of tbe, act of the Legislature called the Validating act. ino whole case wat ponding because the quo warranta case in the Supreme Court bad not been properly discontinued. This was plain and evident, and so upon the strict technical ground, the act was void as an interference with a case actually In court. And upon the broader ground, the Legislature had no power lo interfere, beoanea tbs porators who contested tho election are in court and have never been oat of court They have filed their petition eel Ung forth the Illegality of the election, and that peution bas never been dis? missed. The petitioners still knock at the doors and ask that the case be tried, AU that the Supreme Court decided was that the Acting Board of Alder? men must dec.are who had received the largest number cf votes, and the whole question as to the vaidity of tbs eleoUoa and tbe illegality of the vote? oast was still before the courts. Suppose that lt were aqiesUon OB to tbe validity of a title to a piece of land, and that while the cause waa being tried the Legislature pass-id an act declaring that the Mile to tba bind should be valid and bindi na, would tho court go on with the cause orbe bound by that so ? The court would go on. And the sam?) principle ap. pUes to office and privilege, for where tbe parties have the right to a trial their oases can only be deci? ded by tho courts. The Charleston election was valid or invalid. If Invalid, the Maye* and Aldermen hold ottos until there ls a valid afMfton. If valid, who were eleoted t This ls a qnesUon of votes and fiats, and oas only he determined by a jory. In either ?ase it mast be determinad kr tba courte. Mr. "Porter showed that tba act wea dtwrtodneix | lng, unusual, at variance with the saeta, and founded on untruth, and argued that whatever the truth of the matter, the act wm not a proper exercise of the Judicial power, but a Judgment and sontouce. a function that could only bo exercised by thc courts. Ho pointed out tho unconstitntiouality of the act as relating to more than one subject, and the subject not expressed in the title. And if any right or privilege is to be taken from the citizens it must be done by an express act, or i? otherwise illegal and void. There is also an appropriate legal remedy for the claimants, and where suck is the CSBO any inter? ference by tbe Legislature ls Improper and unwar? rantable. He showed tho discriminating character of the act, and that by lt Mr. Clark and his Aldermen were cut out from tho benefit of the lew of the land. If the Legislature modified or changed charters it must ba under prop? r limitations. The Legislature confided certain powers under the charter of the city, and HR long ss tboEe powers aro not repealed, the Legislature cannot, by a side wiud, knock from undor the foet of their agents their rights and privi? lege?, and administer for them the things authorised to be done in their own way. If there was no elec? tion there must be a new election. If there han been an election, tho Legislature cannot decide who wero elected. As long as tho charter is of force, aud it haa not been repealed, the Legislature cannot ob? trude Itself. And if thc election wm void there must be a new election. Ihe election has been held under the law, and no one is declared elected; there? fore, the Mayor and Aldermen must hold over until tho expiration of their term, unless there ls an elec? tion under a s poi al act. The Validating bill is not only retrospective, but it undertakes to unseat Mr. Clark and bis Aldermen and seat Mr. Pillsbury and his Aldemen. It is contrary to the spirit ol all law and to the express terms of the constitution. Mr. Porter explained the circumstances attending tho cases of Mount Pleasant, Tlmmonsville and Moultrieville, showing that the) did not bear upon the present case, saying emphatically that the old Legts'.Ature of South Carolina never did undertake to interfere with a contested election, outside of mem? bers of its own body. He called for the enforcement of that section of the constitution, which declarea that all laws shall be equal in their application, and argued that under the Fourteenth constitutional amendment the Supreme Court ould, in all cases of deprivation of rights or property, review and revise the actiou of the States. In conclusion, he said that he committed the case to the court with full confi? dence. Wc looked to the courts in those limes of revolution as we would do to the protecting shadow of a great rock in tho weary land. The shades bad como over us like the shadow of a Bummer cloud, and we hoped that as a summer cloud it would pass away and leave not a wreck behind. Alter the recess of the court, tte Hon. D. T. Cor? bin began the closing argument for tho claimants, G. Pillsbury and others. He said that he approach? ed the case with a fitting sense of its Importance, and felt as deeply as any could do the momentous interests which it involved. He said that prior to November io, the Acting Mayor and Aldermen held office by virtue of mill tat y orders, the elections of 1800, and the acts of 1808. But the act to quiet rights undor military orders applied only to rights of prop erty, and was in force to that end only, exoept as to persono holding office who would hold until their successors were elected and qualified. This was the only tenure by which they hold. The other acta were to the same effect. The elections of November 10 were he'd under the Municipal election law, and if that law had been carried out, the tenure-oi-ofB.ee must have terminated, and if the validity of the elec? tion is sustained, the Acting Mayor and Alderman must vacate. Mr. Corbin then stated the who e case of the election of November 10th, saying that some important points had been omitted, doubtlesas inadvertently ; the statement made by tbe other Bide. He said tbat if tho Mayor bad promptly declared the election much trouble would have been avoided. He had pleaded to the Juiisdio tien of tho Aoting Board of Aldermen, claiming that they could decide between candidates only, and not the legality of the election. The irregularities in the election wore passed upon by the Supreme Court, for it the reasons given by tho Aoting Board of Aldermen had been sufficient to vitiate the eteo tion the court would not have granted the mandamus or have said that the grounds were insufficient. The declaration was then made that G. Pillsbury and others received the Icrgest number of votes. That was all that was necessary. The poatorlpt m wbioh they said tbat the election was void was not neces? sary, and was impertinent. When he moved to attach the Aldermen, the case was argued and the court declared the return sufficient. Be lund this the res? pondents could not go. Where the Beard was wrong was in not deciding between tho purtles. If (hay had declared Mr. Lesesne elected, the other party could have said snd done nothing. What they wanted was a decision, and they had it at last. Had the Board deolared Tom Jones elected co one could have over? come the decision. The question of fact, of which counsel spoke, had been determined by the declara? tions of the votes cast and could not be tried again. So the defendants declared themselves eut of office, and Pillsbury and bia Aldermen elected. In regard to himself, aa the matter took a rather personal turn, he would say tbat he had done what he be lieved to be bis plain and simple duty. He was not shaken by the sh ir pn ea a of adverse criticism, nor did he retain any unkind feeling. It was his desire to set the whole case at rest beyond all doubt wbioh caused him to draw up the Validating act. Mr. Corbin then reviewed the acts which form the city charter, citing authority to show that the charter was always subject to the control and revision ky the General Assembly. The city was chartered for pub? lic purposes, and there was no such thing aa a vested right in it, The charter bad bee a amended in every possible way as lt might properly be since tbe corpora? tion exercised its powers in and by tho General Assem? bly, and not for the benefit of the citizens. Contracts with third persons could not be Interfered with, but all else could be changed, or even abolished. The Legislature could confer legislative powers on mu? nicipal bodies, bnt it had the right to abolish tbs m without consulting the wish? s of the corporators. Remedial statutes hold good when retrospective, even if they interfere with vested rights, the principle be? ing that they refer to property and net to righto un? der publie corporations for public purposes ; so that these chartered rights and vested righto are not recognized in law er fact, and only exist ia the im? agination of attorneys. In support of these positions Mr. Corbin cited Judge Co-?ley on the law of corpor? ations. " .t The farther hearing of the argument was then postponed to to-day at 10 A. M. TUB THEATBE- TEMPLETON'S OPKBJETTA. Great disappointment was occasioned yesterday by the son-arrival of Mr. Templeton's female opera troupe, and it was only mitigated by the aanounee ment that the delay "tnM i? w fe; a single night, The agent says that they will positively appear to? night and perform a sparkling operetta, in wbioh they will be accompanied by a flrtit-raie orchestra. The novel and seleot character of tho entertainments proposed for this wee? by Mr, Templeton, has creat? ed no little sensation, andas Le?tis just over we' may expect the theatre to be crowded. Tickets can bs obtained at the hotels, and persons desirous of witnessing, tho first performance of ibis company should avail themselves of tho facilities thus af? forded. Nsw STEAM FIRE ENGINE FOB THE EAGLE COMPANY..-The anxiety of the Eagles was allayed jesterdsyby the arrival of their new engine on the taragoss*.

During this spring merchants from Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Florida and the Caro - linas have purchased their stocks in Charleston. The facilities for trade in tho way of large stookn and accommodations on acceptable paper are ample and satisfactory. Merchants are desirous of doing all in their power to meet the wants of their old friends in Georgia, and they are willing and anxious to sell them goads on as favorable terms as the merchants of Northern cities. Being earnest advocates of Southern trade and commerce, we believe in and commend to our people tbe policy of trading with and hulaing up tbe business of our seaboard cities.''
