The Decision in the Eichel
berger Pine Case,
Brief mention was made yesterday
of the fact that the State Supreme
Court, with the Chief Justice filing a
dissenting opinion, bad decided the
case of Constable Eichelberger, sus?
taining Judge Watts7 decision, reduc?
ing the fine imposed by the mayor of
Greenville oo the constables for the
violation of the city ordinances.
The following extracts from theopis
2008 of the three judges will be fouod
of general interest. The fact9 of the
case are familiar to the readers of The
State.
Justice Gary, iu his opioion, says :
"Let us then consider whether the
circuit jadge had the power to modify
the sentence imposed by the mayor
"In the charter of the city of Green?
ville, 19 stat., p 109, it is provided |
that the 'mayor and aldermen of said
city are hereby severally aod respec?
tively vested with all the powers of;
trial justices io the State withio the
limits of said city, to try and punish
all persons charged with violation of the
ordinances of said city.'
"Under the case of the City Couooil i
of Charleston vs. Brown. 20 S. E R , j
56, and the authorities upon which that
caseras decided, it clearly appears j
that tue mayor exercised the powers of
a trail justice wheo he tried said case.
The extent of punishment which he \
had the power to inflict was limited by j
the ordinance aforesaid.
.'Sec. 66, Code of Criminal Proce- ]
dure provides that 'Every person coo- j
victed before a trial justice of any of? ?
fense whatever and sentenced, may ap- j
peal from the sentence to the next term j
of the Court of General Sessions for the j
county. AH appeals from trial justices' ;
eourts tu criminal causes shall be taken !
and prosecuted as hereinafter prescrib- !
ed.'
"Sec. 71 provides that 'the said ap- j
peal stall be heard by the Court of j
General Sessions upon the grounds of j
exception made and upon the papers i
hereinbefore required and without the
examination of witnesses to the said
court. Aod tiie said court may either
confirm the sentence appealed from, re- j
verse or modify the same or grant a !
new trial, as the said court may seem ?
m&et or conformable to law.7
**It thus appears that the statute, io |
express terms, confers upon the circuit j
judge the power to modify the seoteoce i
appealed from
-ihe ooiy ?imitation upoo his power '
ts .:-.at it must be 'as to the said court i
may seem meet ace conformable to j
Jaw
..There is certainly notbiog in the
tease showing that the modification of j
the sentence by the circuit judge does ;
sot seem to him 'meet and conformable
io law.'
c*It is the judgment of rbis court i
rh at the order appealed from be af- <
firmed "
Justice Pope, after quoting the sec- j
lion in reference to appeals to the cir- j
eoit court, says,
v'Tbis section shows very plainly j
{fiat the Legislature of this State never |
intended to give such unlimited pow-j
ers to these officials as would enable I
them to impose sentences upon persons
charged before them with infraction of
city ordinances out of all proportion to j
the offences as made out by the testi- j
mooy; io other words, to clothe them j
with unbridled discretion as to their ;
sentence*. j
'.Judge Watta had all the testimony
before bim. and he but exercised one of
the rightful powers of his high office
wheo be reduced this sentence, if the
testimony coovinced him that the may- j
or's sentence was excessive. I ?gree
with Mr Justice Gary that the judg?
ment below should be affirmed.''
Chief Justice Mciver, in his dissent
IDg opinion says :
.'Even conceding that the mayor
was acting as a trial justice (a matter i
which we may admit of question), and ?
that in appeals from a trial justice the
Court of Sessions 'may either confirm !
the sentence appealed from, reverse or
modify the same, or grant a n??w trial. ;
as to the said court may seem meet and
conformable to law,' yet I do not think
the language quoted can be properly
construed as conferring a right of ap?
peal from the exercise of mere discre?
tion by the inferior tribunal within the
limits prescribed by law. The well
mettled rule undoubtedly is that there
is no appeal from the exercise cf discre
iion conferred upon the tribunal from
which ao appeal is sought to be taken.
Indeed. I do uoi see how the exercise
of discretion within thc limits pre?
scribed by law can afford any ground
for appeal : for, ss i> said m thc case
just cited, 'it is bout:d by no rule ex?
cept tiie gooj sense and integrity of tiie
part}' empowared to exercise it."
"? must think, therefore, that the
power conferred by the statute above
referred to. should be coustrued, not
as conferring '.he power to substitute
Inc discretion of the Court of Sessions
in measuring the amouut of punish?
ment to be imposed for that of the in?
ferior tribunal from which the appeal
is taken, but simply a power to modify
?he sentence as to make it conformable
to law,' as the sentence appealed from
in the case was already in conformity
io law and there was no ground for the
appeal to the Court of Sessions and the ,
same should have been dismissed."

More Asylum Buildings.
i The Regents Meet and Solve
a Serious Problem.
i
f The Board of Regents of the State
Lunatic Asylum yesterday held one
: of the most important meetings of
recent years. The board had to face
j a condition of affairs which has not
j hithertofore been presented, and one
that demanded immediate action.
: The result is that the board has made
provisions for the erection of addi
, tional buildings and is looking after
I more property for the enlargement of
the institution.
When the board met yesterday,
they found within the asylum walls
the largest population of insane per
sons that has ever been known-846. \
A careful analysis of the situation
showed that the apartments of the |
whit? women and colored men were
greatly overcrowded, and that some?
thing had to be done to relieve the
condition of affairs. It was shown,
too, that the number of new patients
admitted to the institution for the
first eight months of the fiscal year
was 234
hi view of these facts the board
decided to undertake immediate!}7
the construction of additional build?
ings for the accommodation of the I
classes of patients referred to The !
matter was turned over to the bc 1
ing committee of the board consifv
ing of Drs Talley and Taylor and
Mr. White. The committee was em-^l
powered, with proper consideration
to the needs of the asylum, to act aP]
once. They have nothing io go
upon in the way of ready cash save
the regular maintenance fund, but
considerable of this fund has been !
saved this year
The regents, under the special act
of the Legislature adopted at the
last session, have a contract with the
penitentiary authorities to furnish j
them with a million and a half brick, j
This contract is now being carried j
out arid already 160,000 brick have j
been delivered at the asylum. The
entire contract will have been cai.ied
oat by September 1 There is no !
reason, therefore, for delay, so far as j
material is concerned. Again most
of the work can be done by harmless
male patients who are obliged to \
have some occupation. So the pro
posed buildings can be erected at a j
minimum cost
In addition to taking this action,
the board authorized the committee
to make a good offer for the purchase
qf Wallace estate, just across the '
way from the present asylum en
closures This is a valuable proper?
ty, and if secured will permit of the
erection of all'the buildings in the :
most convenient form.
Yesterday the board sent twenty
three patients out to their homes on
probation.
It is a noteworthy fact that, while
for some time the asylums for the in- !
sane in adjoinings States have had to
refuse admission to many needing;
the care of such au institution, the :
asylum in this State has not yet '
reached that stage where it has had
to refuse admission to any one in !
need of the treatment that can only
be secured within the walls -The ?

Barbarous Warfare
Campos Orders all Insurgents
Captured, Shot.
JACKSONVILLE. Fla , July ll -A
cablegram to the Times'Union from
K^y West, Fla , says :
Late advices to this city from Ha?
vana state that a battle was fought
near Manzanillo on the 3d between
500 fresh Spanish troops, commanded
by Maj. Sanchez, and 200 insurgents,
commanded by Rabi, in which the
Spanish troops were completely routed.
The insurgents captured fifty Span?
iards.
Trie son of Martinez Campos is re?
ported very sick io a private hospital
in Havana, with yellow fever.
In the battle fought- between Ama?
dor Guerra and Bocre*, the Cuban lead?
er was killed, being the only one lost,
by the insurgents. The Spaoish troops
were almost annihilated, ooly two offi?
cers and six soldiers esoaping, owing
to the fact of having good horses. One j
of the officers was badly wounded.
The report is confirmed that-Marti?
nez Campos has issued orders that, all
rebels captured shall be immediately
(?hot. The order has caused much com?
ment among the Spanish officers The
insurgents, when they take prisoners,
simply take away their arms and am
munition and send them back to the
Spanish lines. The following mani- |
festo has fteen issued by Maximo
Gomez :
> Encampment of the Cuban Army,
Nagasso, Puerto Principe, July 4.
To the Farmers and Owners of Cuban
Plantations in this District ;
lu view of the general interest, of j
the war for the independence of Cuba, I
which we are now fighting, we con- '
sider that the export of fruit and other 1
products, cattle etc , to help the sup- ;
port of the Spanish governmeLt, which
we are fighting against, to be detri?
mental to our own interest, and the |
following order is issued to the whole .
r : (?vince :
From this date all are prohibited
from sending products to towns oe
pied by the enemy. Owners of sugar j
plantations are warned to stop all j
work. The plantations of those igoor- j
ing this order will be destroyed j
Those parties who will go against this
order show that their sympathies are ;
with the Spaoish authorities and will be 1
conskier?d as traitors, and if captured
will be treated as such.

The Conservative Democraev of Sumter
County in convention assembled, desiring to
plac?? upo? record its earnest purpose to pro?
mote, as far as in its power lay. the peace
and welfare of the whole State, and to foster
s sincere *nd honorable reconciliation of the
discordant factions of the Democratic party,
to the end that the Constitutional Convention
shortly to convene .may be non-partisan in
its composition, so that its work mar be
characterized by a dtep sense of justice to all
citizens of South Carolina, and at tbe same
time to secure by honest and lawful methods
the continued supremacy of the white race in
this State, does hereby
Resolve. That we the Conserva-re Demo?
crats of Sumier County in convention assem?
bled make the following proposition to the
members of the Reform faction of the County
viz :
That we will nominate, in such manner as
we shall decide upon, three men as delegates
to the Constitutional Convention, and propos"
to the Reform faction to nominate, in such
manner as they shall decide upon, th-ee (3)
men as delegates to the Cons?ltutional Con?
vention, and that the six (6) men sn nominat?
ed (3 Conservatives and 3 Reformers,) shall

Resolved further, That the President of the
Convention shall appoint two members of the
p*me who, with himself shall be a committee
to convey this proposition to the Reformers
and report their answer to the Conservative
Executive Cotnmitte, through its chairman,
Mr. Marion Moise.
The di;cussion of the motion was opened
by Mr J. E. Conser, who made a strong
speech against division, taking the ground
that the Reformers want a dividion only in
the counties controlled by the Conservatives.
Mr. T. E Richardson offered a substitute
f?r the Manning resolution ; but at the re?
quest of Maj. H. F. Wiison he withdrew the
substitute.
Mr. W. H. Ingram spoke to the Manning
resolution and moved that the preamble he
stricken out.
Mr. Manning accepted the suggestion and
withdrew tbe preamble.
Col. J. D. Blanding took the floor and
offered as a substitute for the Manning reso?
lution the following :
Resolved, That it i's the sense of this Con?
vention :
1st. That the leaders of the Reform party
having repudiated their agreement with the
Forty Conference, we cannot rely upon any
agreement we may enter i ti? with their
tollowrr8 that the same will i carried out in
good faith.
We are therefore opposed ! any proposi?
tion for a division of delegatr-i in any pro?
portions whatever.
2d. That we advise all true democrats to
keep from all action or connection with the
Primary which may ne ordered by the irby
committee.
3d. That we stand by our true democratic
colors, nominate a full set of delegates to the
Convention and elect them.
Col. R. D. Lee spoke in opposition to the
substitute and in support of the .Manning
resolution. He reviewed the situation iu
this county and the State at large, and from
this deduced a strong argument in favor of a
division of delegates.
Col. Blanding spoke in support of his
motioo. His speech was earnest, and, look?
ing at the situation from his point of view,
his position was impregnable.
Mr. A. F. Cousar spoke against the substi?
tute.
Mr. R. U. Purdy supported the Manning
resolution in a strong speech Dr E. J.
Rembert aiso spoke in favor of the original
resolution.
Mr. E. W. Dabbs opposed the Manning
resolution.
Mr. W. ?. Cain said tb?t be wanted to
place himself on record as opposed to any
compromise. "I despise the word Conser?
vative," said he, "I am a straightout.M
Mr. Altamont Moses spoke in favor of the
division as outlined in the resolution offered
by Mr. Manning. He made a morion to luy
the substitute offered by Col. Blanding on
the tabie, but withdrew tbe motion on re?
quest.
Maj. H. F. Wilson made a speech favoring
peace and harmony in Sumter County, and
urged the adoption of the resolution offering
to divide the delegation wirh the Reformers.
The discussion was closed by Mr. Manning
in support ot his resolution.
Tbe vote on the substitute was then taken
and a division being demanded, the roll was
culled and an aye and nay vo;e taken. The
Substitute was rejected by a vote of SJ to 26.
Mr. T. E. Richardson offered the resolution
previously introduced and withdrawn, be?
reques!, :ti an amendment. The point of
order was mide that the resolution could not
