Judge Benet's Opinion.
He Deals With the 1893 Dispen
sary Xiaw.
The October term of the Court of
-General Sessions for Richland county
began tts sessions on ; Monday Oct.
1st. Judge W. Christie Benet, one
of the new judges, made bis first
appearance here and be made a re?
markable and very unusual charge to
the grand jury, dealing with the dis?
pensary law
Judge Benet presented his commis?
sion as judge of the First circuit, for
four years from February 16 last, and
bad it recorded by the clerk The
roll of jurors was called, and an extra
venire was drawn. After the coutt
was organized Judge Benet proceed?
ed to charge the grand jury as fol?
lows, the charge being attentively
listened te:
Mr Foreman and Gentlemen of the
Grand Jury of Richland Oonnty.
Thia is the third term of court since
yon were sworn in as grand jury. It
is the duty of the judge who presides
at the spring term to give the grand
fury fall instructions in regard to
their duties generally in addition to
the particular instructions concerning
the bilis of indictment submitted by
tiie State's counsel. And 1 do not
?doubt that my learned brother of the
bench,: who charged yon last M arch,
instructed yon fully on the duties
of your office. In accordance with
his charge, you have doubtless made
careful and thorough examinations
into the condition of each of the
county offices; and have made
presentment or are at this term ready
to make-presentment thereon
As the grand inquest of Richland
county for twelvemonths from the
fourth Monday of last March, yon
have, I trust, made diligent inquiry
concerning the manner in which the
various county officials do their work.
They are the servants of the people
You are the respresentatives of the
people, sworn to look after the peo?
ple's interests during your year of
office, and the people of this county
look to yon to report whether each
county official is performing the duties
of bis office faithfully, efficiently and
honestly, or whether he is an un?
worthy servant, careless in bis work,
unbusinesslike in bis keeping of the
public books and records, negligent
of public moneys in his hands, or may
be guilty of oppression and malfeas?
ance in office.
I shall ask the clerk of the court to
hand me your two former present*
men?s that I maj learn what yon have
already done in this regard, and
whether or not you will require any
further general instruction. But
there is one matter in connection with
your county officials--with those of
them who are bonded officers-which
I desire to bring to your attention,
and that is the solvency of their
bondsmen and the soundness of their
official bonds. 1 know that in some
counties grand juries have failed to
scrutinize the bonds of their county
officials, no doubt, in some cases,
because the matter was not submitted
to them, and great and irreparable
injury and loss have been suffered in
cons?quence. Careless and fraudu?
lent handling of public money results
in a deficit or defalcation, amounting
to thousands of dollars. It has been
going on for years, no one suspecting
the genial and popular official. The
inevitable expostire comes, The
official himself ] is insolvent. His
bondsmen are sued, and, for the first
time* rt^je : bond M discovered to be
well* nigh worthless, and yet it may
be that his bondsmen were all solvent
when taej signed the&ond and after?
ward pdime,? unfortunate and - fell
i otc reduced circumstances. Hada
grand jury, however, carefully and
closely scrutinized the bond year by
year ?ie pnblic would not have been
the losers* <
In ?rese days: o f commercial and in?
dustrial depression and instability,
and ups and downs in the money mar?
ket, when the man who yesterday
was safe and solvent, today is em?
barrassed, and tomorrow is a bank?
rupt, it is the duty of a grand jury to
examine closely into the bonds of
county officers. A bond, which last
year may have been good and suffi?
cient, may this year need to be
strengthened. I charge, you there?
fore gentlemen, to take this matter in
hand if yon have not already done so
and to embody the results of your
scrutiny in your final presentment.
Mr. Foreman and gentlemen, there
is another matter which behooves yon
and rae to take into consideration,
and which it is my duty to charge
you. I refer to the dispensary law.
Since last we sat here, at the June
term. Governor Tilllman has issued a
proclamation informing the people of
the State that the dispensary act of
1893 is of force and to be enforced as
the law of the land. No doubt you
are aware that the dispensary act of
1892 was decided to be unconstitu-1
tional by a majority of the Supreme
Court, one Associate Justice dissent?
ing. That adverse decision was made
after the act of 1892 bad been in effect
repealed and suspended by the act of
1893, bot the court did not consider
nor pass upon the act of 1893. That
act stands on the statute book today
unrepealed and unaffected by the
decision of the Supreme Court. It is
the law of the land. You, as grand
jurors, and I, as circuit judge, are
equally bound, as officers of the law;
to do all in our power to enforce it,
and I charge you that it is your sworn
duty to present any violators of that
law which may come under yoi
notice, or which may be reported i
you or submitted to you. lt is ju
as much your duty as it is for goc
cause shown, to present homicide
burglaries, larcenies or other viol
tions of law.
Unfortunately, much opposition In
been industriously stirred up aud kej
alive in some parts of the Stat
against the dispensary law, and viol
tions of it have been openly coui
seled and condoned as a patriot
duty. This opposition has bee
directed chiefly to that provision t
the law which authorizes constable
to make search and seizures. T
encourage and intensify this oppos
tion the cry has been raised that th
liberty of the citizen is in dange
and that the sanctity of the home i
being desecrated. It is well to be o
our guard against any measure thc
threatens our individual rights a
citizens, or unlawfully invade th
privacy and sancity of our homet
It is well to be on our guard als
against the specious cry of libert
and home when raised as in this case
without just cause Nothing is mor
potent and beneficent in a rigliteon
cause ; nothing more mischievous an
misleading in an unrighteous caus
than -such a popular cry. If it b
the cry of the patriot, jealous of ou
rights, we should give it good heed
If it comes from the liquor dealer, th
liquor drinker or the disappointe
politican or even from the misguide
patriot, we must disregard it. As
understand the dispensary act,
assure you, gentlemen, that th
liberty of the citizen is not in peril
nor is the sancity of the home in dan
ger of desecration.
The provisions relating to searc
and seiznte authorizes nothing new
Similar- powers * have always bee;
exercised by revenue officers ant
other officers of the law. It is tru
that a man's house is his cattle, acros
the threshold of which, be it ever si
lowly, neither King, nor Presiden
nor Governor dare go without hi
permission Such is the law of Soutl
Carolina and such may it ever be, bu
when a man makes use of his hons*
tor harboring criminals, or a depo6i
tory for stolen or smuggled goods
then into that home, high or humble
officers of the law armed with the wai
rant of the law, have a right to ente
in the name of the law and mab
search and seizures. Such is the lav
of every civilized country. Simi
larly under the dispensary law,.if ?
man nses his house as a barroom fo
the sale of liquor, or as a club roon
for the dispensing of liquor for i
price, or as a storeroom for con traban <
liquors, the dispensary constable
armed with a warrant, may lawfully
enter that house and make search anc
seizure. The householder cammo
invoke the law's protection of hil
home, while he makes use of it as i
means of concealing his violation o
law, or if pursuing an unlawful busi
ness. It ' is not the purpose of the
law, nor the intention of the iranien
that a house should be searched be
cause there may bs : Hquor in it
Liquor there is safe and the law pro
teeta ita owner in the lawful use of it
But liquor unlawful ly lhere is not safe
and should not be safe there or any
where else, and search for and seizure
of such is not the unreasonable searcb
and seizures which the Constitutor
forbids. That is a pernicious doctrine
which has sometimes been taughl
that Use citizen doee not owe obedi?
ence to the d ispensary law until the
Supreme Court shall have passed
upon it and decided its constitu
tionaKty or umr netitutionality. I
charge you that it is the duty of ever?
citizen to obey the law as long 'as it
?stands upon the statute books, un re?
pealed or unannurted by a decision
of that court of last resort.
It isa Slatter of common- know?
ledge that the Supreme Court is now
considering-the dispensary : act ol
1893 in the light of the Constitution.
The decision has not yet been filed.
It is ours to act in compliance with
the law as it now stands
Before leaving this subject I shall
briefly advert to this power, which is
exercised by our courts, circuit and
superior, in common with the courts,
of the other States, and with the
i United States Courts-the power I
mean of rendering laws null and void
by declaring them to be unconstitu?
tional.
This power bas been exercised
since the revolution ; and yet, strange
to say, it is neither inherent in the
courts themselves nor was it con?
ferred upon them by the constitutions
which created them.
Strictly speaking it is itself an
unconstitutional exercise of power.
By long continued and unopposed
custom it may be said to have be
j come the common law of the courts.
In the early days of the republic
the Supreme Court at Washington
and other courts in natural imitation
began to assume this extraordinary,
but unauthorised power, no doubt
from the best motives and perhaps
because of the necessities of the
situation.
It may be that it was simply the
perpetuation and expansion of the
power exercised by the State courts
and the privy council in colonial
days, for it is i matter of history that
the colonial courts would sometimes
decide a legal act of assembly to be
invalid, if .it was shown to have
exceeded the power conferred by the
royal charter.
And the privy council in London,
acting as Supreme Court of Appeals
for all the colonies, decided conflicts
between laws and charters.
Indeed the learned Judge Cooley
j observes that it is "worthy of note
? that the first case in which a legisla
I tive enactment was declared uncoil
j stitutional and void, on the ground
of incompatibility with the Constitu?
tion of the State, was decided under
I one of these royal charters, referring
to a Rhode Island case."
Certain it is, no power like this
has ever been exercised by the Eng?
lish courts or the courts of any other
country. There the legislative body
that enacts laws is the *>nly body
that repeals or annuls them
The utmost that an English court
can do, when two acts of parliament
conflict, is to declare that the earlier
act is set aside, as superseded by the
later one.
Another rule is that, when there is
a conflict between an act of pari ia
ment and a judical decision, the
English courts set aside the decision
and sustain the act of parliament as
the higher authority.
But, whatever be the source of
this extraordinary power, it certainly
is not found in the Constitution
Yet it is exercised by circuit
judges and Supreme Courts and the
work of the legislative department is
rendered of no effect by the judical
department
And it may also be said that the
veto power lodged by the Constitu?
tion exclusively in the executive is
thus assumed by the judiciary.
And this in face of the fundamen?
tal doctrine that the three depart?
ments, the executive, judicial and
legislative, must be kept separate and
distinct.
Thus we have two departments
with the power of \eto. the Gover?
nor and the judiciary and two de?
partments with the power to repeal
-the legislative and the judiciary.
The encroachment by the judicial
department upon the powers and
prerogatives of the executive and the
legislative utterly without warrant in
the Constitutions, State and Federal,
has gone to greater length than could
have been forseen both here and else?
where.
It seldom attracts the attention of
the general public It is only when
as in the case of the dispensary law,
a measure which has come home to
the people and affected them closely,
has been declared null and void, that
the people And to their surprise that
the writing "I-concur" by a majority
of one, in a court of three, operates
as a repeal of the measure.
In contrast to this simple and sum?
mary process, contrast the formalities
attending the passage of an act :
The introduction ; placing on the
calendar ; the printing ; referring to
a committee ; report of committee ;
first reading; second reading; third
reading ; the debate and amend?
ments ; the passage of a branch of
the General Assembly ; the sending
to the other branch ; there to go
through the same formalities ; the
final passage ; the enrollment, and
the approval and signature of the
Governor.
It may be well, it may be wise, to
invest the court with these powers ;
but it is unsatisfactory to consider
that it is an usurped and not a con?
ferred power. If there is to be a
constitutional convention, it will be
worthy of consideration whether to
confer this power or not. If this
great power is to be exercised by the
courts, then surely ft should be in
terms confeired on them by the Con?
stitution If it is not to be exercised
then should it be in terms denied
them ? Certainly if it is to be exer?
cised, it tsbouJd be specifically con?
ferred. Thus would much unpleasant
friction between the different depart?
ments be removed. *
"Then no longer would the anom?
alous condition of affairs exist,
wherein laws stand untepeajed by the
only power that can lawfully repeal
them--the Legislature-and yet are
cancelled and annulled and render?
ed inoperative by the judicial depart?
ment of the government, which con?
stitutionally has no more power to
repeal than it bas to enact laws.
The Color Line Drawn.
Columbia Register.'
An incident much out of the ordi?
nary occured in the Court of General
Sessions yesterday. It was while
the case of Ed. Green and John
Brown, colored, charged with break?
ing into and robbing a railroad car,
was being tried. The defendants
were represented by John McMaster.
The testimony waa that the stolen
goods had been found in the posses?
sion of the prisoners, but Green
proved an alibi by three witnesses.
The jury in charge of the case had
for its foreman J. Frank Smith and
there was one colored juror, Tobias
Derrick. The jury was in its room
for some time and finally reported
that it was unable to agree upon a
verdict. Judge Benet asked the
foreman of the jury what was the
trouble that a verdict could not be
arrived at. Mr. Smith stated that
the colored member, of the jury had
drawn the color line and was the
only juror who stood for the acquittal
of the prisoners, ali the others being
in favor of a verdict of-guilty.
Judge Benet became somewhat
aroused at this and made a few re?
marks, the substance of which were
as follows :
"If such conduct is indulged in it
will necessarily lead to the Jury Com?
missioners 'excluding colored people
from acting as jurors, which they have
a perfect right to do under the law.
The law requires that the names in a
j jury box shall be of men qualified to
! serve as jurors. No colored man is
! qualified to serve as a juror who will
allow himself to decide a case on a
color line. Without saying a word as
to the guilt or innocence of the par?
ties in this case, it is a great mis?
fortune, expecially in the interest
of colored people, that a colored man
should refuse to agree to a verdict
because the party is a negro and he
is one himself. There is no princi?
ple of justice in a matter like that
and such action would justify the
Jury Commissioners in excluding all
colored men's names from the box
I can assure the colored people on
my own responsibility that in my
long residence of twenty-six years in
this State and my experience as a
lawyer and a judge, white men in 999
cases out of 1,000 give colored pris?
oners full justice 99
Judge Benet went on to say that
he bad known of lawyers paying the
expenses of cases for negroes and
spending hundred of dollars for poor
colored men, and that lhere was not
a shadow of reason for the action of
the colored juror He said that there
were colored men on th* panel who
were capable of acting as jurors and
who had acted fairly and without pre?
judice
In conclusion he said : 4'Mr. Clerk,
you will excuse the juror and strike
his name from the roll."
Attorney McMaster stated to the
court that so far as the testimony was
Concerned he thought Derrick had
acted right. He did not know what
had occurred in the jury room.
Later in the day Derrick went to
Judge Benet and said that he had not
raised the color line in the jury room.
He had simply insisted upon the
acquittal of Green, who, he felt
satisfied, was innocent. Ile had
voted, he said for the conviction of
Brown Judge Benet accepted the
statement, remarking that Derrick
was apparently sincere in what he
said
Judge Benet stated that if he had
known that Foreman Smith was going
to speak of the color line he would
not have allowed him to talk.
