Mr. WhUtcmore in a New Light. The laws of South Carolina are supposed to give the Governor all the power that, under any circumstances, can be necessary for maintaining peace and executing the laws of tho State. When the constabulary force has failed to lay the monster which it conjures up, the Executive may call into service the whole National Guard, or militia, and may, for military purposes, take posses? sion of all the railroad and telegraph lines in the State. The writ of habeas corpus is as a sheet of waste paper when domestic troubles rack the Commonwealth. In a word, the Governor, that peace may be maintained and the laws obeyed, has an t almost unlimited Control over the live3 and the property of the people. This was thought necessary by those who, during the past two years, have done us the favor to regulate the affairs of the State. It is true that Governor Scott has not exercised the plenary authority with which he is endowed. South Carolina has not been declared to be in a stato of rebel? lion ; the militia have not been ranged in Ina of battle ; the railroads are more iutent upon earning dividends than upon trans? porting troops. We have, then, to choose between two alternatives : either Governor Scott has neglected his duty, or South Caro? lina, in general, is in a condition of pro? found peace. The latter alternative is the only one that can be accepted, iu the face of the re-election of Governor Scott by 33,000 majority, which might just as well have been 83,000,000. This, par parenltttse ! The people, in general, must be quiet and law abiding or Governor Scott would have drammed up the militia, suspended the writ of habeas corpus, and solaced his soul with what is known as the pomp, pride and cir? cumstance of war. There may have been a negro beaten on this side, .and a white man beaten on that But South Carolina has a population large enough to account for these incidental annoyances ; arid it is a plain- and unmistakable fact, this day, that the Whole Vttighc of the intelligence and wealth of- South Carolina is thrown on the Bide of tranquility, and against riot and dis? order. And yet 3ne notorious Radical in? sists that. Governor Scott and the whole State are mistaker, Mr. Whittemore intro? duces a bill iu the State Senate, with a pre? amble which declares that "the laws are set "at defiance," and that the officers of tin: -iaw. axe limuBiw, LUcventee anffoostrncted "iii the discharge of their duties," and sets forth, in nine lengthy sections, his idea of what is necessary "to provide for the protec- j "rionof persons, property, and the public j "peace, and to tax real estate for the ex-, "pense of the same." The substance of this extraordinary bill is, that whoever shall endanger life, or obstruct any citizen in the enjoyment of his rights, for any reason, shall be fined or imprisoned aoc?tdipg tothe gravity of the offence ; but the ninth and tenth sections out-Herod Herod aa a specimen of partisan legislation. They read as follows : SEC. 9. And be lt further enacted, <fcc, That any citizen who shall be hindered, pre? vented or obstructer} In the exercise of his vested rights, or Injured in his person or prop? erty, because of tis exercise ol the same, may claim and prosecute ihe county in which the offence shall be committed for any darna. e? bc shall SHH tai u thereby, and the said county shall be responsible for the payment of such dam? ages as the court may award ; and thc real es? tate in the.eaid county shall he assessed for the payment of such damages, thc assessment to be made according to the rules prescribed in the act to provide for thc assessment and tax? ation of property, approved September l?, 1868. 8EC. 10. And bo it further enacted, ftc., That if any citizen who shall be hindered, pre? vented or obstructed in the exercise o' his vested rights, or injured in his person or prop? erty, because of his exe reise of the same, shall desire to remove from the county in which the offences shall have been committed te a more secure and peaceable portion bf the Slate, the Governor of the State, on proper presentation and satisfaction of the f-icts, and the necessity o? such removal, shall cause such person to be removed and settled upon the public lands owned by the State; and all costs of removal abaH be charged to the county from which such citizen shall be removed, and assessed upon the r?al estate in said county as afore? said, and all expenses attending the arrest or persons charged with offences against the pro? visions of this act, as well as their prosecution andeonri?tion, >hall be charged to said county, and assessed upon the real estate in said county as aforesaid. It is evident that one muiu purpose of this bill is to convince the Northern Radicals thaj there is a solid foundation tor the stories ol murder and violence with which Mr. Whit? temore, Mr. Crews and their fellow-dema? gogues stuff -the.ears of the President and the Secretary of War. Arid, in the second place, it is iuteuded to thrust upon the body Of the people a responsibility which right? fully beloDgs to the State officials alone. Wc deny that there is any lawlessness or turbu? lence, in. South Carolina which cannot bu promptly quelled by the civil authorities. And Governor Scott will sustain us in this declaration. But, admitting, for the sake of argument, that the woeful picture drawn by Mr. Whittemore is pre-Rafaulitic in its accuracy, his bill of pains and penalties could only be warranted hy an absolute certainty that the whole military and civil power of thc State was insufficient for the preserva? tion of tranquillity, which condition Of things might make it indispensable, as a last re? sort, tb hold an entire community responsi? ble for the wrong which its members had not managed to prevent. Every candid man admits that, in thc counties mo3t uusettled in feeling, there ia no difficulty in making arrests, cr in bringing offenders before the civil tribunals. The courts do not pledge themselves to "convict every persou who is amilgnedfcy Mr. Crews, Mr. Whittemore or Chief Constable, Hubbard, and. this may be the head and front of their offending; but where the guilt is proved the -criminals are. ?nd always will be, punished aa they deserve. And where the officers of the law are ob? structed in the performance of their func? tions, the Executive has the power to call to their aid the militia of the State and the army of the United States. The bill before us assumes, however, that the good sense of the community, and the militia of the State, backed by the stroDg arm of the general government, cannot insure the execution of the laws or protect the officers to whom ? their execution is entrusted. This simple i statement demonstrates the absurdity of i what Mr. Wbittemore ha3 ventured to pro? pose. Malignity and partisan feeling have far more to do, we fear, with Mr. Whittemore's bill, than a pure desice for the well-being of any class of people. It is not sufficient to go back to the old common law, and call to account a village, or a county, for the vio? lence of a knot of desperadoes whose hand is against every mau as every man's hand is against them. This principle is unworthy of the age in which we live, and of our boast? ed civilization. Mr. Wbittemore goes farth? er, and makes a whole county the hostage for any one man in it. No matter who that man may be ; no matter whether he is actu? ated by revenge or an honest purpose if that man, perhaps the lowest of the low, interferes with any citizen in the exercise of his rights, or injures his person or property, the whole county is made responsible for such damage as may be done, and the real estate in the county shall be assessed for the payment of the award. Were Tolbert living he might kill a negro, and. for such dam ages as the court might awnrd, all Abbeville would be responsible. T?e assessment i3 made upon real estate alone-that is, upon the whites and not upon the blacks. A colored man may murder a white man, or destroy his barns, and the white people of the county are taxed to repay the damage that this Radical negro has done. Could any proposal be more vindictive, more un? reasonable, more unjust? And the tenth section is more monstrous than the ninth. Under this, section any man who is in any way interfered with or injured, and who desires to remove to "a more secure "and practicable portion of the State," may be removed and "settled upon the public "lands of the State," the whole costs to be paid by an assessment upon the real estate of the county from which he shall be re? moved. Evou in South CaroIiDa a proposi? tion so fraught with evil, so open to abuse, cannot, we hope and tru3t, become a part of the statute law of the State. We believe, moreover, that the bill itself is in open violation of the State Constitu? tion. Mr. Whittemore requires that the real estate of the couuties shall be assessed for payment of damages and expenses under sections niue and ten. The power to do this does not, in our opinion, rest with the Gen? eral Assembly, nor can it be conferred, by statute, upon the counties. The General Assembly has the right to provide by taxa? tion for the expenses of tho State, and it may give the corporate authorities of coun? ties power "to assess and collect taxes for "corporatepurposes:" but we see no authori? ty for the arbitrary and unequal assessments which Mr. Whittemore has proposed. The difficulty, iudeed, is not to find argu , men ts against the bill, but. to select those most likely to have weight with a body which, in v- -Voa ennwn Tiffin rn<ro?rl Tr,* tho well-being of the State. Governor Scott anti the Geueral Assembly have promised to make no distinctions on account of class or color, to frame just laws, and to regard in all their actions the security of property and the preservation of peace. They stand, asit. were, on trial, and will be judged, two years heoce, by their conduct upon just such ques? tions as that .which we have analyzed and discussed.__ Judge Vernon. This gentleman, who now fills so large a space in the angry eye of our Republican ucighbors, ami whose contumely has excited the ire of Joe Crews <fc Co., is personally a typo of a brave and courtly gentleman.- A Carolinian by birth, a man of strong common sense, a man never afraid of uttering his honest convictions, a man who will not con? descend to do a rneau act, no matter what may be the end subserved, Judge Vernon is to-day as true to the interests of justice and of the State as any of her citizens. He may iiave his Bocial faults-who is without them ?-but In all that constitutes fidelity to human trust, weighed in the balance, he will not be found wanting. . . Personally, he is not far from fifty years of age: is small in stature, graceful in address, suggestive tu speech, aud if not a first-cluss lawyer, he has certainly proved himself an upright judge. Hts misfortune consists in that be has uot obevc-d the behests of Radi? cal pomp aud power. He might have pos? sessed vices that could be piled mountain high, yet been overlooked, had he ministered to the passion's of Joe and his kindred Crews, but because he has dared to do right, obey the instincts of an honest citizen, and fear? lessly perform the duty of an honest judge, we take it for granted that the axe will fall, aud the place that knew him will know him no more. If the indignation bestowed on Judge Vernon could be visited on a score of the Radical officials we wot of, neither Joe Crews nor hi3 borde would longer dis? grace the political history of our State by an utter disregard of thc decencies which should murk the conduct of public men. ?ost uno Sonne.
