THE JOURNAL. CAMDEN, JANUARY ID, 1871 The Circas is Coming ! Grady's Circus will exhibit in Camden on the ?Gih inst. See bills. ... The Court. On Friday last, the case of the State rs. Sam Rruwu, alias Aoderson -Brown, Indictment for Grand Larceny, was called^&htt! the defendant plead guilty, lie was jicntcnced to one lew's imprisohnjcffT in'the State Penitentiary, It Wd 'iM. " '; -irt eo.'f.i: n ft On* the some t day the rase of the State George English, Indictment for Arson, was taken up, the State being "represented by W. M. Shannon,. Esq,.t and the prisoner by Kershaw & Kewbaty J??ir's. During Friday, and Saturday forenoon, the evidence f>ro and cun WiS^beard, and the arguments were.hot concluded until about 7i P. M. of Saturday; The Judge then delivered aft' able<cb*rge, and the jury retired. They found the defendant guilty and on Monday morning, the Judge sentenced him to five years at hard labor in 'the State Penitentiary. These two cases disposed of the trials in the Court of ;Sessions, and it was adjourned uotil the first Monday in May next. Before the Grand Jury wete iJischar^ed, His Honor took occasion to compliment Kershaw County upon tbie quiet which prevailed within I.;... knJara onrt tn ftfimmPTlf] thfi T>Paf?fi liVl UV* uwt VJ tauvi WW ?"? ? ? and harmony of her people, as shown by the'unusually small number of bills given out at this Term, attributing to^ Wat4? 'poming up to the predictions of thecolored people a great advance to their friends, among them himself. This commendation met with the hearty approval of all true friends of old Kershaw County. The 'Court1 of Common Pleas was then convened and the case of Robert "Wilson vs The Bank of Caindcu S. C. argued, by Mr. Shannon for the Plaintiff/ and Mr. Kershaw for the Defendant. The Judge decided in favor of the Plaintiff. On Tuesday the case of Knox & Gill vs The S. C.. It. It. Company, was argued by Mr. Kershaw for the Plaintiff and Mr. Shannon for the defence. This is. a oase in which Plaintiff seeks to recover exeess of freight paid the agent of Defendants as common carriers, under nrotestnnd denying the right of the Defendants to exact such excess. It is analogous almost with the cise of Kenneth & Gibson vs. ThdS. C. R. R. Company, reported in XV Richardson's Law Report, with this difference, that the freight in the case reported was paid under protest. The Judge reserved his decision. W suppose that in any event an appeal will be takcD, and the case carried lo the court of Appeals. On Wednesday, i the following causes were heard, to-wit: J. C. Revil, Adui'r., vs. John McRae, and John Warren vs. James Ilornsby, et. al. From information received by us, I JS w ' | we judgp that the Court will not be adjourned before Saturday. The Return of Reason. Tuesday's runil * brought us a special message from Gov. Scott iu relation to the troubles'in the up-country. The spirit and-' temper of the document is highly commendable, and we do not hesitate to say that it will be received j by all good citizens as indicative of a desire on the part of the Governor to do justke tp our people, and he will be heartily assisted in his efforts to conserve the peace by the arm of civil authority, by all. who love the quiet of South Cirolina. We give the message, in order that our readers may judge for themselves. When we sec indications : of a sense of justice towards all the citizens of- the State, by the Executive or any other branch of the Government, we arc ready to meet them half way.? While it may be, and doubtless is, a deserved rebuke to the extremists of the Republican legislators, it is the first glimmer of hope which our silenly suffering 'people..'hive been vouchsafed, and as 'suqh wo welcome it, and wc are sure that wo represent the true sentiment of.all good citizens, when we declare o^r, purpose to aid in bringing about by every means in -our pewcr a good understanding between the Governor and hitherto much and wrongfully abused whites of the State. firn' <: I I- > The Ipi<U$ent Planters. or Kcr haw* Odc of our distinguished Representatives has. introduced a bill to afford relief to the indigent planters of Kershaw County.4" ^ The bill provid33 for the establishr. W ? ment of a Bureau of Belief (number of members unknown) who are to receive a compensation of ?500 each, per annum, their duties being to disburse the handsome sum of $5000, to be drawn from tho State Treasury among the said indigent planters, taking as security, a lien upon the crop, with interest t > ,v V. 71' at 7 per cent, the same to be set aside i a fund for the County poor. Whoever conceived this desigi should have done the handsome thir by gfett'ng an appropriation of $50,00 or $500,(500, all of which conld be loa ed on ample security at the rate of or even 10 per cent, to the "indlge planters of Kershaw," whose name legion, there not being more than fo or five planters in this county wl would cousent to be termed 1 ra< gent," especially if money could obtained on such easy terms. But don't the honorable moral "knock into pi" the argument of poli cal economists on the question of sup]: and demand ? lie will be sure not to re-elected, unless he goes deeper in t payers pockets, and makes the Bure of Relief to consist of at least thi thousand members at a salary of $5 each,. . Our honorable friend should reme bcr that the State of South Carolina a nch and prosperous comraonwealt that railroads and other moneyed ci porations are thicker than the hair his head, and that inasmuch as neai alibis constituents arc "indigent plai ers," five thousand dollars will not r more than teu or twelve farms. 1 should take ioto consideration the ft tber fact that money is worth only o aud a half per cent, (per month,) a that 7 per cent, is altogether too mu to require of said indigents lie shoe further recollect that besides a fund or bonded debt of ?1,300, Kersh; County owes not less than ?10,0C and a good part of that for the Conn poor, and that the interest on ?150,0! at 7 per cent, would just about exti guish said debt". When he has finish j his deliberation npon these subjects, 1 him also reflect, that his colored frien see through his "little game," and w not dance to the music of such a po fiddler. Legislative Proceedings. Our Senators and Kcpresentativ are haviDg a jolly time in Columbia, six dollars per diem, as will appear I perusing ;the following statement their proceedings. On Tuesday tho 10th iust., the Lai Commission was up before the Seuat After a rich and spicy debate in whl Leslie, Corbin and Ilaync were t! principal participants, Leslie told t Senate that no records bad Seen kc of the acting and doings of the Coi mission, and admitted that "it Was bad job," that the ?700,000 had go almost for nothicg, and finally worn up by saying that he "would not ma a report." Corbin demurred and w followed by Ilayne, who pitched in things generally, and called certu parties hard names. Leslie described.Corbin coming in the Legislature last winter with all 1 pockets stuffed with "rocks" for tl passage of the Phosphate Bill, ai Corbin retaliated by asking Leslie ti whereabouts of tho ?700,000, voted the Land Commission. On the next day the Senate consi i ered a resolution to vote addition compensation to Judgo Orr, and tl House as to whether or not they shou purchase Mr. Seabrook's compilation the penal statutes. (Mr. Seubroi must be some new light of Radicalisi since his genius has never befo brought liinj before the people.) Wli temorc who wr.g 60 ignoniiniously tie ed out of Congress, now fathers tl attempt to bundle Judge Vernon o the Judiciary. Poor old Whit. He hs better prepare to answer the ii peachmcuts, his confrere down bcloi will have ready to serve on him imm diately after his reception into th warm abode. Besides fathering tl impeachment case, lie is now engagt in advocating a bill for the "maintaii ance of illegitimate children, &c. Sou Carolina has been maintaining a got many of that stamp, such as the <4wic ed Ben." aforesaid, and others lil him. There are eight articles of impeac ment against Judge Vernon: the fir five for drunkenness, the sixth f general negligence, the seventh f issuing blank writs of Habeas Corpi and the eighth, for acting as Jud< after a copy of the resolutions of ii pcachment had been served upon bii It is presumed that this entire wc< ? II 1\a AAwcnmn/I 1 n f li a Will uv; uuiii3uiuv,u Iu tuc iu?wii^auuu this impeachment, which would uev have been thought of, had notJudj Vernon, very properly granted an ord allowing the Laurens prisoners to gi' bail and be discharged from confln mont in jail. ' Poop France. Monday's papers brought us mela oholy tidings of the state of things France.. Tho army of the Loire h been defeated in a great battle near I Mans. Paris, was on fire in sever places, and bread riots have alsooccu red, bringing on a collision betwe( the mob and military. Two hundr< thousand Germans are hurryfng on reinforce their comrades in Franc making their force about one millk a3 men. With bombardment from with out and bread riots within, the fall o q, Paris may be expected to occur at an; ig time, and the sooner the better, as th 0, war will then be probably at an end n- and the blessing9 of peace restored t 7, unhappy France. nt ' ~ 1 For the Journal. 13 ^ x # 5Ia. Editou?I saw in the last nun ur I ^ ber of the Journal, an appeal to, o j. rather a demand on the Town Counc: ^ ~ of Camden, to proceed at once to fai nigh that noble old company, the 1.1 E. Company, with a new engine. Nov . sir, from facts elicited from the varioc ti. members of Council and their worth ^ Intendant, I can probably throw sore light on the subject. ax , The Council feel the importance < sustaining that noble old organizatioi qq who have so often shown themselves i valiant soldiers in many a hard fongl battle, not fighting with Enfield rifli m- . . and oblong blue Pills, -but fighting tl j devouring element, fire, until some < ' their gallant corps, have fallen in ba tie, and by the assistance of kin friends, been carried almost senseless I 1 ^ the rear, ntTbcre is no member of the Counc un U who does not appreciate the services < jr this noble company, and none who bus not racked tbeir brain, to devise som nc ' plan to purchase an Engine, worthy) cj) such a company. But to the reaso U why. By permission, I have taken nA peep at the tax books of the town f< the past year, I find there Sis Hunt red and thirty-three dollars and fourtee ,' cents, doe the town, and this, from tho? ity , qq who are perhaps as much interested 1 . having an efficient Fire department, t any citizens of Camden. When th I taxes are withheld nnder some llttl ^ (supposed) technical flaw in the mar .jl ner cf collecting them (and this w have no doubt will be overruled by tl or J Supreme Court, where it will go) it utterly impossible for the Council tog beyond the receipts of revenue,"even cs the town is thereby exposed to the de at vouring element. Were the amour by justly due, from the source above name* of paid, that amount would be sent b first express to a contractor who hi ad offered them a superior Engine fc e. 81,200, half cash, time allowed on th ch balance. This, and this alone, M he Editor, is the reason why this nobl he Compaoyis deprived of the possessio pt of a superior Engine. CIVIS. iuSPECIAL MESSAGE FROM GO\ SCOTT. nc ad The following special message wt j;e presented to both Houses on Monday 10th inst: as To the Senate and Ilonse of Repn to . , r scntatives: m I have received the concurrent re.? olution of the Senate and House t to Representatives, requesting me to ir js form the General Assembly why a su ficient military force for the pro.tectio of life, liberty and property have n< Jd bceu placed in such counties of thi he State as have been hitherto riotous an t0 refractory; and, further, why have nc the outlaws in them been brought t condign punishment; and why the pre d- visions of section 2 of article 13 of th ,al constitution have not been enforced ^ and, also, to inform the General Assem bly what further legislation is necessar to effect the purpose herein stated. ?f In furnishing you such inf'ormatioi jk as it is in my power to supply, am n while I deeply deplore the disturbance [ to which your resolutions refers, I eai .c scarcely venture, as Executive of th ll' State, to pronounce any of its countie k- riotous and refractory upon the reportei le cases of individual outrage, and whil ut no information has been received in thi , office indicating anything like a count. 1 organization to defy, or to defeat, tb n" law. I am the more cautious in thi tv, respect, because it will be rccollcctci e. that very many cases of individual vio ,lt lcnce-have hitherto been reported botl .from the counties of Abbeville am ,e Edgefield, but the prompt and impar -d tial administration of justice in the* n- counties has proved that the civil powe th was sufficient for the protection of th< life, liberty and property of our citizen and these counties are now as quiet peaceable and orderly as any portion o te the State. But if there was any por * _ ./ A. Ci.i. ' 1." 1 * 1 uon oi me ciuie in wuicii vioiouou am . disorder were so general as to disarn the power of the civil courts, I tnus st say, frankly, that I have no such militi; or force as would be competent to suppres or them; and, if I had, I have no means t place and maintain such a force in th '' field. If by the outlaws who have no =>e been brought to condign punishment n- you mean those individuals who liav n. lately perpetrated the outrages iu th Counties of Spartanburg and Union, oj. can only say that every effort has beei made that could lawfully be made, b er the Executive, to discovor these crimi je nals and bring them to a speedy trial er In some instanoes, those suspected o ve guilt have been committed for trial and in their cases the Executive i c" without power, as he ought to be with out disposition, to interfere with the du administration of the law. In othe instances, the perpetrators of thes n. crimes arc not known, and have not ye jn been discovered. I can only promis that every effort shall be made to arrcs as and bring tbem to justice. je I am not aware that the seoond sec al tion of the thirteenth articlo of th r~ constitution has not been enforced.? 5n That section provides : "The Governo , shall have power to call out the militi : to ezecuto the laws, repel invasion, re 1? press insurrection, and preserve the put e, lie peace." I caDnot say, with truth m upon any information in my possession that in any section of the State the laws f are not executed, for not a single case has l?eeQ reported in which the officers ^ of the law have been resisted in" the e discharge of their duties. There is ho , invasion which I am called on to repel; o no insurrection which I am called on- to suppress. ' v While I cannot say that the public peace of the State is threatened so such ( a degree as to warrant the exercise of the power of calling out the militia, given me in the section of the const!il tution just quoted, I deeply regret that r- it is my dnty to inform yon that the ? condition of several of the counties in the State is disturbed and dangerous. '' In Laurens, Union and Spartanburg, 13 persons and property are not secure ? y Repeated instances of violence, disreie gard of the law and murder have been reported, and there is a well founded , apprehension, on the part of the law abiding .citizens,'that unless these out rages are promptly checked the cvi is will have become too great for ordinarj remedies I do not propose at present to refer to these crimes in detail, not ;s to attempt the discussion of their cases lf It is cnoueh to sav that thev are 8( - CJ ? rr - * * at grave and so numerous as to call for th< \r unflinching application of all the powei ^ of repression which the Executive car t lawfully exercise. 0 It is proper for me to state, and ] am glad to be able to do it, that th< il public sentiment of these counties seems ^ to be aroused to the character and con* sequences of this state of affairs, anc ^ public meetings have been held in e which the responsible and influential rf citizens of Laurens and Spartanburg n have declared in language sufficientlj strong, their abhorrence of these crimes and -their willingpess to aid ihe Execu )r tive in the suppression of them. Il 1 these opinions are carried out in action n we may anticipate the speedy restora )e tion of peace and order; but something more is needed than the resolutions D however just and generous in scnti59 raent. It is my opinion-that the civi ie law of the State ought to be sufficient |e and it is tny determination tnat it suai be sufficient to protect the person one property of every and any citizen o 0 the State, however humble, friendles; ie or obnoxious. I cannot bring myscll is to contemplate the use of an armcc ,0 force to punish individual violations o L the law in a time of profound peace.? Such a remedy would be as bad as the " disease, and wonld be a public dcclara it tion that there was no civil government in South Carolina, and that we art living in a condition of social anarchy ^ I am bound by my oath of office as ,9 the Executive of this State, and ic ?r reverence for those principles of conie stitutiooal liberty which are the vital r force of true Republicanism, to sec thai the law is duly enforced bofore I resort to other and dangerous powers. I dare 0 not aod will not assume that justice cannot be administered, until the effort ha? been made and the failure evident, r- It is therefore, my intention to see that the law is enforced, and when I fail in the effort, I will unhesitatingly 19 call upon you for the extraordinary powers to which society must resort for self protcct-on. Rut at present, 1 !- would call your attention to the tact that nil the cases of reported violence ?. are iudividual violations of the law; if that none of them have assumed the i- character of public combinations against f. the law; and that they arc all within o the regular jurisdiction of the crimiuai it courts of the county. Rut I do not is think the administration of t; e criminal d law is sufficiently vigorous. As the it Executive of the State, it is impossible o tor me to superintend or control the >. trial of criminals. This duty must be e left to the attorney general and the ; solicitors, who arc the prosecuting offii cers of the State, and to whom the ad y ministration of the criminal law, in their respective spheres of duty, is n committed by the same law which de[J fines my own duties and powers s That these officers have doDC aod will a do their dnty I have no doubt, but I e do not think their powers are sufficient s ly strong, or their uicans of action j sufficiently large To illustrate my c meaning more fully: Each solicitor has s several counties under his official charge. y A murder is committed in one of the e remote districts whore he docs uot s reside. A warrant is issued. A coroi ner's iuqucst makes a very unsatisfao. i- tory report of the circumstances. Ii Unless the frieods or family of the j victim are especially active, a few , witnesses are bound over, and the papers e are ptft in the hands of the solicitor r the day that the court opens, and if a e true bill is found he goes on with the 51 trial with a slight and imperfect prepare ! ration thus made. JS'or. tlm Hnlioi. f i tor bC biuuieu. lie nasurauj uuuiio tu - attend, very many cases to prepare, ] has not had an opportunity to loarn the a circumstances of his case or the charaot ter of his testimony, a Now in ordinary times, when cases s of violence aro rare and shock the hu0 inanity of public opinion, and excite e the indignant activity of those who are t interested in the suffering parties, this , labor of preparation was spared the soe licitor, because he always had an indie vidual prosecutor behind him. J3ut 1 when the crime is one in which the 11 sympathy of public opinion is not warmy ly interested, or where a disturbed coni dition of popular sentiment is not dis. pose 1 actively to assist public justice, f or where the parties suffering are too , friendless to muko themselves heard, s then the duty of the solicitor, while it i- becomes more imperative, also becomes e more difficult. To do justice be Deeds r larger powers and more assistance. e I would, therefore, recommend a i-i- --.1 nffl/ilnnf nrrrnnirnfinn w more couipieiu auu caici^uv v<?___ e of the machinery necessary for the ad'f ministration of criminal justice. The attorney-general i9 the proper represen! tative of the criminal justice of the e State, and he should have the au thority, not only as at present to conr suit and advise with the solicitors, but a to review and direct their action. They - should be required to report to him >- regularly the condition of the prosecui, tionsin their respective circuits, and be i, | governed by his instructions whenever J* U he may deem it judicious to issue them. He should also have the power, when-- C ever in his opinion.the importance of C . the case requires it, to retain assistant J counsel and see that the Stater Is fully I and efficiently represented. r I think, also, that a corps of detect- ;i ive police officers should b? placed undcrhis control, to be used by him, and the solicitors, as occasion may require, j! I do not proposo that these officers j should have any power of arrest. This y responsibility must be assumed by the d ; law officers of the State;. but.the crimes f i from which society' is suffering can n i" never be suppressed without efficient organization by which the preliminary T> , investigations can be conduoted, the 'j traces of guilt promptly followed up, j and such testimony procured as will i justify a prosecuting officer in asking I Irom conscientious jurors a verdict of <* - conviction. Neither the attorney-gen.- ^ - eral or the solicitors can give more than j I a general superintendence and skillful ? r direction to such investigations,, and 1 ; they need the aid of a budy of dis- J r crcet, practiced and temperate-minded . men, to perform this important duty. > As the attorney-general and the soliei- v ; tois are elected by the people, they have 1 r. it in their powc* to select men ip whoso J ? f?hnrnpfprfi tiipv will fiml snffinipnfc imuir. i . -~J ? f? li antee that this power will not be abused. ?i To carry out this plan would require J that a contingent fund sufficient to meet its expense be placed at the control of the attorney-general, which I there- 0 fore recommend. I I think it proper also to call to your c attention the fact that the judicial dis- ? trictiu which these disturbances are i most flagrant is practically without a r judge. The presiding judge of that j circuit is now under impeachment be- t fore the Senate for high crimes and t misdemeanors, and while it would not become me to anticipate this solemn trial, yet I cannot forbear saying that a nothing would contribute more effect " ively, or more speedily, to the rcstora- j tiou of order than the presence in the courts of this circuit of a magistrate who shall possess the ability to know Jhis duty, the resolution to do his duty, and that high character which is in it_ 1 * _ fit C ~a. iL i. iL. J _ ? J i sen a puiar 01 sireDgin to me gooa, ana i f a living admonition to evil doers. Not fc t can I leave this subject without exf pressing my regret that the trial jus- ^ ticca have so signally failed to meet the g i requirements of their office. In a con- 'J dition of things such as we^ow deplore, I t the preliminary investigation in nearly * s all the prosecutions of the crimes we . wish to suppress is within the province ] of the trial justice*, and the prompt and 5 i efficient administration of the criminal ; }> law is in a large degree dependftit upon : ^ [ their ability, dhcretion and courage? i t qualities which. I am sorry to say, the 1 t system has not developed. i Believing firmly that a vigorous adi ministration of the law will be sufficient j ; to repress crime, I make these recoin- b . mcndiitions, pledging myself that if o it ever shall he found impossible to ad- ? minister that law. I will come to yon for those extraordinary powers, which I shall then not hesitate to accept aud A uso. " O I have thoJionor to bc,; very respectfully, Robert K.
