TUE CHARLESTON ELECTION Proceedings upon the Writ of Q,tto War ranto. THIBD DAY. Tho closing argument in tho case of tho writ o* gao warrante, sued out by Gilhert Pillsbury noa othorn against ihe Acting Mayor and Aldermen of Charleston, was continued yesterday morning by tho Hon. D. T. Corbin, the couneol for tho petition? ers. Mr. Corbin reviowed hin argument of yesterday that, in this cose, it was not necessary to go into the question ot thc statements of fact made tn tho Vali? dating act, as the Supreme Court had passed noon tho objections urged hythe Acting Board of Alder? men, and had founi them insufficient; also, that tho court compelled the Board to do their duty in decid? ing between the parties, which decision was tobe final. The court deteimined the law, and tho Board, by their d?claration, determined the fact. The court held that there was au election, and the Board declared who were elected, and that decision is bin J lng. If these preliminary questions be true, it de? cides the wholo case. counsel ?hen proceeded to review the act of March, 1869, saying, In passing, that the act was as much a remedial act as those mentioned by the op? posing couneol, although they seem to think th it what was a hea icg remedy for one Fct of people was a fatal poison to another. Mr. Corbin cited J ml ce Cooley to show that the Legislature may determine the way. tn which the judicial power shall bo exer o leed, and that what it could dispense with anterior to tho proceedings, it can dispense with, by a retro? spectiva aot, subsequent to thoso proceedings; also, that a rctrospeciivo act, remedying irregularities in voting and conducting an election, is not void on constitutional gi oonda. The Constitution of South Carolina docs nit require the voters to take an oath, the failure to take which was tho great argument against ihe validity of the election. Mr Corbin t hen cited a case (3 Wallace, 3271 in which a curative or validating act mukl< g good an irregular election was bold to be valid, and the bonds issued by a i county under suoh election were made bind? ing upon thc county by the curative act. This was a case whi h affected the pr ope ty of the people of the county. Ibey were bound for a sum of money, and in consequence of irregularities in the election tho subscription was declared vo d. But the Legislature passed a validating act, and tho validity of the subscription was then sustained by the Supreme Court of Ihe United States. This was a case similar, in its im? portance, to the Charleston election case. Mr. Cor? bin lut n read from Judge Cooley's work, to show that the Legislature had full power to pa?-> a retro? spectivo aot, oven although a cuse was pending in the counts. But the validating acta muet always be confined lo matters with which the Legislature might have previously dispensed. In regard to the objections to the constitutionality of I be Validating act, urged by the counsel for the Acling Mayor and Aldeimen, he said that to contest the constitutionality required a great deal of nerve. Andrew Johnson was a bold man, but he admitted that he must obey a law ot Congress until it was de? clared unconstitutional by tbe courts. The counsel on the other side were bolder still. They advised th a Mayor and Aldermen to stay in office, in defiance of the law ; and aa there ia a pemlty attached, if they are wrong their chents and not they will suffer. ~ According to Judge Cooley, a cou t should not decide an act invalid un? less it was absolutely necessary to tbe decidion of t he cause, and the court would avoid it if there were any other ground upon which to determine the cuuse; aleo, that the court would not consider the unconstitutionality of an aci upon a question made by persons not Interested in lt. Now, tho Acting Mayor and Aide men had no interest ia the consti? tutionality oi the act. They could not raise the ques? tion, although Mr. Lercsne might have done so. Cooley <>1 o said that -?heu courts are called upon to pr? nounco invalid an act of the Legislature, they will never dellaro it void un'.em its Invalidity ls placed beyond a doubt. "Wh.ro there ls a doubt, ?he ?ot must bo sustained. Mr. Corbin iu*>u review- j ed the sections of tbe constitution io which the act was said to be obnoxious. 1. That the right of trial by jury is interfered with. Thia was not the case. The Board of Aldermen had the power to decide between the contestants, and. their decision waa to be final. This board had mot e members than a commoi jury, and as lt was a special trib nnal to try th? facts, that trial did not interfere with the right of trial by Jury. 2. 2 hat all lavis sholl b- general and universal, and not partial. The Validating act does refer to tho whole city of Charleston, and in that sense is te?e ral and not paitlal. Any act that affected all the people of Charleston alike was general. Tbe coun? sel on tbe other side ought to have shown that it affected some of the Aldermen of < harleston and not others-some citiz-ns ot Charleston and not others. '1 hen, he admitted, the law would be void. Cooley says that all laws public in their object may be con? fined to one class or not ; for the Legislature may de? ter mine whether ?il parts o? the State, or only a cer? tain part of it, shall isaff cted. One law, then, may be given to Charleston andona to Greenville, and all acta given to them are general as to them, and are not obnoxious to the constitution. Nor were any personal rights lntoifered with; for the people of Charleston have no vested rights in the charter, which may be disposed of ss tbe L?gislature miy please. 8. 7 Aof no laic *Aa7J be retrospective or impose a pen? alty but by judgment of or. t's piers or the law of the I and. The Validating act imposed no penalty for an ofienoe committed prior to its passage, but for one that might be committed afterwards. Nor was any pon alty imposed tbat could be enforced without a tri al. But the true definition ls that i etro.8i.eotivo 1 ws whioh are not criminal in their nature do. not come under the h? ad of tx post facto laws. 4 That no act shall bs enacted which impairs the ob? ligation of contracts. An officer, as Mr Clark, has no oontract to continue in orhca. None of tho laws passed by the state in regard to corporations are cunt acts between tbe State at d the corporators or the offlcei s of the corporations. The State may change or abolish nra nlcipel offices at any time; and their property in offi.-e, as far as derived from the State, must be controlled by tba State. And tho franchise imposed upon the dosons of the corpora? tion may be revoked by th* Ltgislatore at will and in any manner. Mr. Clark has DO property lu his office The Legislature may take away the whole compensation without interfering wita the o nice. Ibo Supreme Court bad decided (10 How? ard, 869) that the Mate bad the oower to reduce the cc mpensatlon ol State officers during t elr torin of office; the court holding that a public office for a public purpose was not a property in the sense of a private right. Thia ease decides that no publ o offl oer has any private right In his offloo any longer than the Legi ?.ature chooses to allow bim to remain and be peri or ms bis duty. 1 here is no contract between tho Mate and toe officer, and bis pay might bs re dneed to ???ui?g even the day after his election. Mr. Cia k has no property to his offloo, and there ls no contract with him. 6. That the Valida'ing aol is an exercise by the L?gis? lature ff judicial power. The Validating act is a con firmatoiy aot, and not a dooroo or judicial dei ermi? na'ion. It is a oo fl? malory or remedial ac', which aeatu and again ba' been declared not to te obnox? ious to the oonstitu ion. In support of this position Mr. Corbin cited Cooley. All nut hon ti. H ?gt ced that the Legisla ure might dispense with formalities tn the conduct of au eleotion. All statutes of a do cU-atory and conarma ory chara -tor iuvolv?, in a oertain sense, the exercise of a Judicial power; bat, ss In th?i case of the Validating aot, they are valid bemuse they only cou?rm am deolare what bad al? ready been done. They do not in any way french upon the judicial denartment or the >ta;e. 6. 1 hat an act shall reta'e to b i one subject, and thal expressed tn the title. Upon this point, Mr. Corbin cito ? Coo'ey to prove that this rule was valu able ie a guide, for the General Assembly, but was not intended for public uso. lb? object cf Ump o vislon is aojompHshed ?her? the act refers to but one goner tl oubtect, which is expressed in it? title, and doe* no inelude incongruous provisions. The rulots dtitotory only, and must be liberally cou ahmed. All the provisos of the Validaba?aot como within ono funeral subject Bot if ti ore aro mat ers m it which are not commoted wit ? the title* that part may bo atrleken out and the rest wi 1 stand good. Mr. Corbin o'ted Cooley la support of this view, and said that If th* court d d deeler- that certain section* of the aot ware invalid, the rematad * whioh waa indicated in fha ?tue would ta valid. I his would, at Usst, mas* good the first section of the antin whioh the election ia deolarsd and oonirmed. 7. That it is contrary to the Fourte'nth Constitutional Amendment. Ibo Validating bill did cot infringe any privileges or immunities, bocauso tboso derived from a corporation wero not privileges or immuni? ties, In tbo sense of tbo costitution, and have been so decided over sud over again. It was not design? ed to tic up tho bands of the Legislature, snd be, Mr. Corbin, thouoht that the barn statement of tho facts was sufficient to prove that it had no such in? tention or purpose. Mr. Corbin then said that immemorial usasro bad j untitled Buch an usage of power as that of the Valida? ting act. 'i bo charter ot tho city was in tho banda of tho Legislature, and had been frequently amend? ed. The State had many years ago confli m??d an ac? tion of Council which tho courts had declared void, and, although no one did object, the law would have boen void if il bad been unconstitutional. The mere want of objection had nothing to dp with that case, or wlib tho Timmonsville oud Moultriovlllo election cates. If lhere wa? any difference in the cases, it was in lavor of the Validating act. In regard to tho objeotion made that there was a case pending, he said tint tie re waa a statute grant? ing judgment where a case had boon discon.mucd to tho public detriment, and under that tho counsel could, doublie*8, get their easts, Now. ?he derk of the Supieme Court crtifles that the origma! quo warranta was discontinued in open court. Ibis presumes that it waa dono with the consent of court, and could not be contested, nor could the record Do contradicted. Thc certificate tint the discontinu? ance is of record puts an end to the question. Mr. Corin o nain that the case was almost without a parallel. " No one usually refuses to obey tho decree of the Supremo court, declaring certain persons elected. The usual form was to admit them and try them and their title by quo warrante, and the con? duct of the Boari of Aldermen in refusing to eur renderwas a precedent dangerous to the peace and seeurity of the commuuity. (suppose that at the election for Governor in 1870, tho court to promul? gate tho election, consisting of the present i lucers, should deel re the election void. Would not this lead to bloodshed, anarchy and confusion? The Gov? ernor o'oct should be admitted, and thelegality of his election tried afterwards. This was ? case in which he felt that he mlgbturgo the court to make a speedy decision. The public intern-ts at stake, tbo party feeling, and the passions of tho hour, all require for this case a speedy solution. All rests with the court. We, said Mr. Corbin, aro here to claim our rights. We do not appeal to passion or feeling, but look at tho case as a lesa! question io be decided between the parties. This we submit to tbe court. We do not want the case to hang along, but to be determin? ed forthwith. And I know that when the decision is once rea hed in tbe pure and calm atmosphere of tho courts, it would comme, d itself to the calm judg? ment of the community, and all would acquiesce in it. But until ibo right is determined, lhere can be no confidence and no protection; no confidence in the officers of tho city, who would tuve but a slight hold upon the people, and no protection or v'ndica tion ot the right. We tow ask your decision in the n ame ol the deares t rights that the people have. ??m. Mr. Porter arose and a-ked leave to say that be and his associates had boon taken completely by sur? prise by the assump lon or tbs part of Mr. Corbin that the Supreme COUTI, in the mandamus case, had adjudged the validity of the election. Upon this tho wu ole case turned, and as he contended that tho court had carefully excluded tho question of fact from their decision, be would b?g to read tho deci? sion to show that there was some foundation for what he said. Mr. Porter read tho decision rofcrred to, and the case closed, tho decision of tho cuirt being re? served.
