C, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18, 1890. THE TRITE SO?*??tO?, Established J?W, #0*9 New Series?Toi. IX. ?fe. 4& MUST THE CITADEL GO ? Under the above beading tbe News and Courier, of Jone 9th publishes the following pertinent article. It com mends itself to the careful consideration of the friends of higher education at large, bat especially to the graduates and friends of the Citadel. That insti tution has done good work in the past, is improving at present, and bids fair to do more in future towards the educa tion of the masses, than it has in tbe past. Education is the bulwark of lib erty and any party that attempts to destroy institutions of education, and countenances the boycotting of news papers, for a mere difference of opinion is not the party whose principles are jusque and liberty : From tbe time of its establishment in De cember, 1842, to tbe close of the war between tbe States, the Sou ih Carolina Military Acad emy educated a host of young meo, many of whom have aquired distinction in both mili tary and ci eil life. During the period named, tbe graduates of tbe institution num- i bered 240, while there were thousands of ma triculates. Since the reopening of the Acad emy in 1882 hundreds of yonng men bare been in attendance upon its exercises, and tbe institution is now justly regarded as one of the most efficient aud thoroughly equipped edu cational establishments in the South. It is in a better position to-day to render good service to the State than at any time since tbe war. If for any reason its exercises should be discontinued and its doors closed, scores of yonng men who are dependent upon tbe bounty of tbe State would be deprived of the opportunity of obtaining a practical educa tion, and tbe State would be deprived of tbe great influence of the institution upon its civilization. In a letter to The News and Courier on January 18, 1888, Capt B. R. Till man wrote as follows :" The Citadel has served its uses and must go. Those wbo hare been restrained from attacking tbe Dude Factory on my ac count can now renew the war till tbe tax payers shall rise in tbeir might and destroy it. 1 will help cJl lean I" Capt. Tillman is a candidate for Governor. Be and his friends are moving heaven and earth to secure his nomination by the State Democratic Conven tion. They are hard at work in every county in the State. If Capt. Tillman shall be suc cessful in his candidacy there will be an open and avowed enemy of the Citadel Academy in the office of Governor?a Governor who has already said that11 The Citadel has served its uses and must go" and who has told bis sup porters that he will help all he can to ''de stroy" this institution. What are the graduates and friends of tbe Citadel going to do about it? They are scattered throughout the State. There is not a single county in which they do not exercise a stiong influence. What are they doing to hold the party together, and what part are ibey going to take in tbe present political contest? If Tillman is elected, the Citadel must go? -What are the friends of the Citadel going to do about it? Ex-Governor Johnson Hagocd made a ring ing anti-Tillman speech at tbe Richland Democratic Club meeting on June 17th. The resolutions passed at the meeting were pub lished last week. The Register reports him as follows : His presence at tbe meeting was accidental, as be was passing through the city. Be said he had listened with great pleasure to tbe resolutions adopted and to tbe remarks of his friend, Col. John Baskell, and thought ht-1 had strack tbe keynote of the situation. General Hagood said there was much in the farmers' platform he approved, bot that plat form was mostly generalities. Be did not approve of the methods adopted in tbe present canvass to advance that platform. It seem ed to bim tbe very principles of the platform itself bad been reversed and slander and vitu peration taken their places. Be went on to speak of what he character ized as "one of those slanders," the charge or insinuation made by Tillman that Commis sioner Butler had not accounted for all the money recovered by tbe board in a phosphate suit. Tillman said, according to the news papers, that Coronet Butler turned over $7,000 less than was called for, and then Captain Tillman said be would like to know where that money went. If this meant any thing, it meant taat A. P. Butler had stolen that sum ot mo ne;. As a matter of fact, the report of the case in which tbe account of the receipts and expenditures, etc , was set forth was very plain. It contained a number of items, and Tillman had omitted one to reach the result be did. General Bagood said he did not believe there was a woman who kept a butter and egg counter, and who eounted on ber Angers, that would not have understood correctly the statement of the account, and yet Tillman misunderstood the whole thing or misrepre sented it. In conclusion General Bagood said he was an old-fashioned citizen of South Carolina, taught from bis youth up to measure his words and to be responsible for what be said. Be would say be did not approve of this campaign of slander and misrepresentation, and he wished, as a citizen, to express bis utter and thorough condemnation of it [Load applause.] The Charge to Grand Jury. What Judge Hudson Bad to Say About Unani mity in Verdict*. After instructing tbe grand jury at the recent term of Court in this city as to tbeir specific duties in each particular indictment banded over to them, the Judge went on to say : Gentlemen of the Grand Jury : Before closing my instructions to you I invite your attention to a subject of vital importance to, tbe administration of our laws. Whatever pertains to tbe mode of dispensing justice in our Circuit Court is of deep concern to our people, and should interest you and all wbo officiate in this Court, because we are directly engaged in enforcing tbe laws of our State, and bave the best opportunity of observing the practical working of our system of laws and method of deciding cases. Tbe result of my experience and reflection is that no better method of deciding tbe facts of causes, crimi nal or civil, bas yet been devised than that of trial by jury. To some extent opinion is divided on the subject, aud there are learned meo wbo contend that a large number of ci vd cases, at least, could be more correctly ad judged by the Court without a jury. But i be number of those who are opposed to the system of trial by jury is not large, and uever will increase sufficieuiiy to abolish this inestimable right. Within tbe last quarter of a century two significant changes in our law bave been made, having a marked effect upon trial by jury. To the accused has been accorded the privilege of testifying in bis own behalf and to the Judge has been denied the right to comment upon the facts. In other words the accused has been made master of the sit uation by being able to tell hL own story and having the Judge, challenged by the constitu tion, set aside as it were, and his legitimate province and influence destroyed. In addi tion to all this vantage ground, tbe accused could, up to thr-e years ago, by his large number of challenges, select bis own jmy from the panel. Within the last quarter of a century the effect of constitutional restriction aud legisla tive enactment bas ??een to weaken our Cir cuit Courts and to facilitate the acquittai of persons charged of murder. Not that our Judges are less learned in the law, nor that the j irors are less intelligent, but because the Judges are muzzled by the Constitution, the jurors are deprived ot their aid, so esential to a correct guidance, and tu the accused is granted the privilege of manufacturing bis own testimony, after having adroitly chosen the time and place of slaving his victim. In almost every grave criminal ?rial our juries have to weigh tbe testimony of the accused, who have the "strongest possible inducement to commit perjury ; the juries are absolutely denied the aid of an enlightened Judge in [.unravelling this web of falsehood and in deal ing with the sophistry of astute counsel, by which they are liable to be led astray. Under such a system of trial it is not sur prising that the best of juries render erroneous verdicts, and that murderers go un whipped of justice. This triumph is pleasing to the heinous offender and to his astute and zealous counsel, but ruinous to the interests of society, and damaging to our Cour s of Jus tice. The frequency of foul murders and the ease with which the bloody assassin triumphs at the bar of our Courts is a disgrace ?o our civilization and a foul blot upon the adminis tration of our laws If at the first trial the accused fails to secure 8n acquittai, his aim ia at least to secure a mistrial, knowing fall well that at tbe second trial bis chances of escape will be greatly increased, and in this be is rarely mistaken. These acquittals and mistrials can in every instance be traced to the false testimony of the accused and the rule requiring unanimity in tbe verdict. Tbe innocent man would rarely object to tbe verdict of a majority of two thirds or three-fourtbs of the jury, but the guilty man would never consent to tbe rule of tbe majority. The rule of the majority is in keeping with tbe genius of our Government and prevails in all its branches and departments, executive, legislative and judicial, except in trial by jury. A majority of the Supreme Court of the United States can pass upon life, liberty or I property of the citizen, and so does a majority of tbe Supreme Appellate Courts of tbe I several States. Why then should unanimity ! be essential to tbe verdict of a jury ? I defy I anyone to assign a valid reason why a i major ty of tbe Judges of tbe Supreme Courts ' should prevail, whilst a majority of twelve [ j idges of fact should not If twelve judges of fact must unanimously agree then so should the nine judges of law be unanimous in their findings and conclusions. To apply such a rule to tbe nine Justices of tbe Supreme Court of tbe United States would be preposterous, but not more so than to enforce unanimity in verdicts of twelve judges of facta. In behalf of our jurors, and in the interest of the cause of justice, I advocate tbe abolition of the rule of unanimity, at least in all civil cases, and in misdemeanors and tbe lighter felonies. Our juries are composed largely of tbe best men of tbe community, men well reared and accustomed to the comforts and luxuries of life. The hardships to which tbey are exposed ia doing jury duty are very great, and often dangerous to health and life. After sitting for hours, and some times days, through a long, tedious and intricate trial in an uncomfortable Court room, they are shut up in a cold, cheerless and poorly ventilated room, of small compass without fire, food or beds, and there kept in a famishing condition, day and night, in the vain effort to convince one or two stubborn men who will not listen to reason, and who, perhaps, prejudged tbe case in advance of evidence and argument. In these daily struggles in the jury room of muscle and prejudice against brain and rea son, good and true men have been known to become ruined in health, resulting some times in tbe loss of life. Not unfrequently shese struggles, under duress of imprisonment in the jury room, result in the victory of the minority, over tbe majority and the dark trinmph of wrong over right, and frequently result in mistrials, at the expense of the people and denial of justice. The consequence is that tbe men of proper ty and the practical business men of tbe com munity, by means of this delay and uncer tainty in tbe result of trials by jury, bave been driven from tbe Courts, and select boards of arbitrators as their preferred tribu nals where a majority rules, or are driven to omp omises as pieferable to unsatisfactory verdicts, tbe delay and cos's of wbicb are often tantamount to a defeat by tbe winning party, and are overwhelmingly ruinous to tbe los^nji Iitij.a it. Among the intelligent and well-to-do class es of our people there is a growing aversion to our Courts, and increasing want of confi dence it tbe result of the trials, civil and criminal. It very often happens that juries after re tiring for deliberation are forced to abolish the role of unanimity and agree that a fixed majority shall rnle, and at times settle dis putes by drawing lots or casting up "beads and tails," or by having each juror to put in his estimate of the damages to be found, and from tbe sum total strike an are rage by divi ding by twelve. Verdicts reached by these haphazard ways are entitled to as much respect as those extor ted by duress of imprisonment. In our career as a people to this complexion ?? baa come, that tbe good, the patriotic and true citizens of tbe land, aided by an enlight ened press, that great lever of public senti ment, must unite in an earnest effort to pro tect the community against the outrages of the daring law-breakers, whose increasing numbers threaten tbe peace of society, and in this direction tbe whole weight of your influence, and that of all officials of tbe Court should be cast Swimming Pens Alliance Repudi ate Meddling With Politics.
