TEE BABXTTEZZ-BLACKWEZZJ B OSI NESS. Tbe Op'nion of Judg? Melton Denying tne Writ of Mandamus. The opinion of Judge Melton in the Barn well-Blackvtlle case has been flied. It is a long document, amt -vre omit tbe statement of the general fact?, which are already familiar to our readers : RBTCRN OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE. The return or the Secretary of State sets ;orth that 1 I* 'tra?tre to which the r*!;!Ara ?1er. and which they seek to have restored, is found, not in the act of the General Assembly, but in thc copy thereor which was made in the office or the res? pondent arter thc act was passed by the two houses, lu? said copy being what is known as the "enrolled copy,"' to which is appeuded the usual formula of ratifl^t; ion. * * * * "By a concurrent resolution of the General Assem? bly, the respondent was authorized to emploi tac necessary clerks for enrolling the acts ana en? grossing the bills or tiie General Assembly. The act referred to was very long, and perfected at a very late day of the session, out a very short and necessarily hurried interval was allowed within which to make the enrolled copy. In making the enrolled copy from the original, occurred un error in writing the word Barnwell instead of the word Blackville, and in this form the said en? rolled copy was ratiacl and approved. Wheth? er this error was :\e result of ac.-ident or procured bv design, this respondent cannot undertake to saw It had escaped the atten? tion of this respondent, and would seem also to have escaped the attention of the Committee on Enrolled Acts. The attention of thc respondent was not drawn to the Tact of the error natu perhaps two weeks arter the Legislature had adjourned. * * * * * . This error had occurred in connection with a mat? ter which bad been the subject or disagreement between thc two Houses, lt was known to the respondent that the House had finally receded from its position, and that the act had been Anally passed by the two Houses, axlneBlackriHe as the place for holding the courts for Barnwell County, and in this form the respondent natl been directed to have the same enrolled for ratification. * * Knowing, therefore, that thc writing or the word Barnwell in the enrolled copy instead ur Sack? ville, was a clerical error, and that the act. as thus enrolled, was not in conformity with the act as it had passed the General Assembly, and as it had been ordered to be enrolled, this respondent assumed the responsibility of correcting the error on the eurolled copy by erasing therefrom the word Barnwell and inserting the word Blackville, as it appears in the act itself. OPINION'. Whilst disclaiming the imputation of in:;.-roper motives ou thc part of the Secretary of State in making the erasure, the argument or the coonsel for the relators in denial of his authority thus, to spoliate an enrolled act of the General Assembly Is clear and conclusive. That he was personally charged, by inference, wiih the supervision of the clerical. force ' employed In the work, of enrol? ment, seems to be an Indifferent matter. It ceased to have relation to his duties the moment when the parchment was delivered to the "Com? mittee OP Enrolled Acts/' It then becomes the duty of this committee to see that the will of the Legislature was therein truthfully expressed, and lt is theirs to bear.tue responsibility of any dere? liction in this high and most important ooice. In reference to enrolled acts, the law does not in terms prescribe any duty to be performed by the Secrerary of. State except that of publication. It has been the custom, however, in this State, to entrust them to the enstodyof his office for the further purposes of reference and safekeeping. Beyond these purpo?es he is to them an .utter stranger-more indifferent than the adjutant to the orders of his commander, or the clerk to the records of the court of highest resort. The consideration of this proposition, if it can be entertained with patience, ls simply Idle; there can be no doubt about lt. lt was tu avoid thc re? mote contingency of spoliation that the solemn forms of ratification were provided In the early history of Parliament, and have been with so much of ceremony observed to this day; rorras sufficient In themselves to snggest that a writing so attested mest be held sacred-not to be.proianed by any hand; not to be altered even by .the pow? ers that made it, eave as other laws are changed, through the prescribed forms of legislation. (Black. Com., 185.) The discretion to alter a word, whatever the motive, implies thc right to alter a paragraph or a section, or, Indeed, te blot .'rom the stature book the whole body of our laws. Among the-statutes of our State .instances of -s?mii?ii error In enr?laient wiil be found-errors wale* w?r? denounced by the people upon whom they, worked hardship and fraud; bur which, whilst they were cured by measure of repeal, re? mained as they were written, untouched. Such errors may again occur: yet, whatever of wrong may. thereby ensue, bears no coniparl-on to that . which surrenders a solemnly ranticd act of the L?gislature to the discretion, however wise, of any authority whatever, by a mere dash of the pen? to make the.laws and put lu jeopardy the liberties of the people. But lt does not follow rrom. the conclusion that the writ must issue. To make this plain, it ls ne? cessary to cite authority, in d?finition or this pro cess, and or the roles which control the court in the exercise of this high and extraordinary pre rotative. THE WRIT OP MANDAI!TS. A considerable portion of tho opinion is taken up In a discussion of the power, and causes to Issue a writ of mandamus. The Governor htmseir being compellable "to perform an act dearly defined and enjolnfd ny tani, which ls nearly ministerial lu its nature, - and neither involves dt>crctlon nor leaves any alternative." See Moses on Mandamus, 63,7C..52, and cases there cited. TWO WRONGS DO NOT MAKE ONE RIGHT. It was urged by the respondent tha* lt did not pertain to the issue involved to determine the pro? priety of his conduct In inaklug thc erasure and substitution suggested by the relators. On the contrary, his misconduct in this regard tarnishes the ground on which 1 must reta.se the writ. It was not his official duty to do the spoliation; by necessary consequences lt Is not his official duty to restore the erasure: and the court cannot by mandamus command lt to be done. That he touched-it with his pen was wrong. It ls a home? ly old maxim, "Two wrongs never made a right." The erasure, whilst it remains, cannot reach th? integrity or the act: "it has not the effect to des? troy Its, character or legal effect." Greene Ex. 666. The facts of this investigation being devel oped, the law, If law lc he, continues presumed to be lodged In every man's mind already. THE GIVING OK THE CERTIFICATE. We come to the second proposition ia thc rule that the secretary be required to ?rive to the rela? tors a certified copy ol the act as it was enrolled, ratified and approved, and placed in his on ce, lu detcrmlulug inls, I pass by the consideration or the danger involved by thc (.rec?dent or requiring an officer to certlty rrom memory a paper not tn existence, as well as tue consideration that thc writ, ir graated, would be nugatory and nnavail ing. Wnether the relators have the legal right to have the certificate demanded depends upon the declarative proposition whether the granting or lt ls a clearly defined ministerial duty of the office of the Secretary of State. This determined affir? matively, it must be ascertained whether, In the sound legal discretion of the court, tnc thtug de manded would.be ' consonant with right, justice, and a good government." Ia the Constitution. Art. 3, Sec. 23. lr 13 prov! ded that thc duties ot the Secretary or St.ire sliallei be prescribed by law. In the Statutes various dulles are enjoined, but. so rar as my research has gone, nothing lu this point. WetlmL how? ever, in I'etigru's Code, page si. note, that ' the duties or the Secretary or State are to be Inferred rrom thc fees which arc allowed klan, and fruin the penalties for ot?lclal misconduct;" and tl; law provides tar this office a fee per copy ?she tar the copying of any writing, and also a fte for "a testimonial with the great seal of the State." If the law nrovided by specie', enact meut tar the secretary's oustody or the enrolled acts. I would regard it as an Inference that he should, upon re qnest.'give to anyparty In Interest a certified copy of any act ou file, upon tender of such fees.. As ft is, the casus omissxts is one of the Legislature; and, so rar as this court is concern;;!, whatever may be, in morals, the duty of the secretary cot. sequent upon his consent to keep custody of the records, renden the duty, in its legal character, not clearly defined and doubtful; and because the right as to the certidcate is doubtful, and the corresponding duty not clearly defined, thewrt based npon the second requirement or the m e must also be denied. 8 Pit., 291. This conclusion would i>c entertained wi-li something or hesitancy if lt were not fortified nv considerations touching the propriety of the writ in this case, to which. In thc exercise of mv dis cretion, 1 deem lt proper to rerer. Much or the learning < f the argument In hciiair of the relators was directed to the point that, the statute being a record of the highest dignity, and of the highest and most absolute proof-indeed the very law itseir as it was said-no averment against it could be admitted. Tnt?, as a rule ot evideuce, is clearly established, and applicable certainly whenever such record is offered' in ev* dence. But is it applicable when the deed is ?rn peached for forgery or other fraud, or even tar mistake, when the Integrity or the record itself, as In this case, is thc matter in issue? ir so, would not the argument prove too much tar the relators, and compel them to take the statute as it now reads? Dut. whatever may be the doctrine or the English law. it is ?m established principle in this country that lt ls competent for the court to look behlni-Jlio printed statute to the enrolled act, and behind the enrolled act to the journals or other records or the Legislature, to ascertain not perhaps what the law means-bur whether in conformity with the prescribed tartas or the con? stitution or for whatever ot her reason, ir lt be tn fact the btw.

In accordance with this rule, it i; shown ny thc return and accompanying affidavits ami records that the act. as passed by Hie two houses, reads Blackville; thar it so read.whcn it reached the respondent's office forenrolment; thal by a cleri? cal error in :he process or enrolment the word Barnwell was substituted, and that tue net thus lu error was ratified, approved and placed in the custody of the office or the Secretary cf State. The lacts of the return were nor traversed, and niust betaken to be true, lr follows that this third paragraph of section lt? of tilt- oct lu ques? tion, as lt.,was enrolled, 1 stilled and approved, was nut passed by the General Assen.b.v. and. -therefore, ls not the law: that the p.vagnph v. Idea wa-passed instead vas not p: estated to the Executive for approval, and became void for want of conformity to toe provisions of the con? stitution in this regard, ana that the paragraph, whether spoliated or not,"however it may once Lave read or now reads, ls inoperative and in? valid. PROSTITUTING THE I'OWKR op MANDAMUS; It is lmposs'ide to avoid the conclusion, ia view of the declared purpose of the relators, that the certificate of the Secretary of State in this in? stance, if availing, would operate to give legal effect to that which ls not only Illegal, bat directly against the will of the General assembly, and to compel a certificate to such end. in the exer? cise of the high and consummate power or man damns, would be to prostitute rather than to pro? mote its most beneficial object-the purpose of "right, juatioe, and good government.-?
