Ekcctive Departxxnt I
MHlegerille, Ga., March 6th, 1666. f
To the Senate:
I [living given serious consideration to “a bill
t« be entitled nn act for the relief of the people
of Georgia. anil to present the levy and sale of
property under certain circumstances, and within
n limited period,” which originate'! in your body,
with more than ordinary anxiety, if possible to
concur with the General Assembly in the pro
priety of its enactment, I am constrained to re
turn it without approval.
The Constitution of the United States ex
pressly ordains that “no State shall pass any law
immuring the obligation, of contracts."
The application of this provision to the act
under consideration involves two inquiries:
First, What is meant by the obligation of a
contract? Secondly, What constitutes an im
pairment of it?
A projier coasideration of the subject requires
a distinction lietwccn a contract and its obliga
tion The former is “an agreement to do or not
to do a particular thing. The latter is that
which binds the promisor to perform liis agree
ment. Wc often speak of a moral obligation to
perform a promise, the sanction of which is found
in a pure and enlightened conscience. But it is
evidently not this which the Constitution was de
signed to save from impairment, because it is
simply impossible for legislative action to change
the dictate of conscience regarding any antece
dent duty which one person may owe to an
other.
We sjjeak, also, of the legal obligation of a
contract, by which is meant the force of law,
compelling its performance or giving an equiva
lent after its breach. In arguing the case of Og
den vs. Sanders, Mr. Webster remarked, “the mu
nicipal Inr is the force of society, employed, to compel
the jietforinanee of contracts." This force consists
of all the means provided by law, to enable the
promisee, without disturbing the peaceof society,
to compel the performance, by a reluctant prom
isor. of his engagement. Titus understood it-is
clear that the Legislature, if unrestrained, would
be capable of impairing or destroying the obliga-
i ion ; and it is precisely to guard it, that this pro
hibition was inserted in t lie Constitution.
The question then is presented, whether or
not this act against the intendment of the Con
tinuum, impairs the obligation of contracts.
It provides “ that there shall be no levy or sale
or properly of defendants in this State under
any execution founded on any judgment, order
of decree, of any court heretofore, or hereafter
to be rendered, upon any contract or liability
made or Incurred prior to the 1st of June, 1865,
prodded the said defendant shall pay or cause to
be paid during eacii year one-fourth of Ihc
amount of principal and interest of such execu
tion, or of the debt or claim, on which aucli ex-
eeut+on lias been or may be hereafter be obtained,
so that tlie entire indebtedness, shall be paid in
four years from the lirst day of January—the
first instalment to be paid by the first ot Janua
ry, 1867, and the fourth and last by the first of
January, 1870.” Any other levying or selling is
made liable for a trespass. Here we remark that
tin- prohibition of the Constitution is not direct
ed solely against the destruction of the obliga
tion. 11 is not that no State shall pass any law
i/> straying the obligation. Were it so expressed,
however impolitic or unjust it might be, in any
Htipposable case fo impair without destroying it,
the Constitution could not be interposed as a bar
rier to such action. But it is explicitly against im
pairment that the prohibition is directed. The
intention being negative, not positive—prohibi
tory not mandatory, the lesser interference is ex
pressed, because being included in the greater,
its prevention prevents both. Hence it appears
that something more was intended than to keep
t he obligation alive, which is all that can be
claimed fora stay law.
lift it be borne in mind, that the obligation of
a contract is the. force of law, compelling its per
formance, or (jiving satisfaction for its breach.—
This force lms a two-fold operation. First, it
acts judicially, whereby the existence of the con
tracts, its breach and the mode of enforcement
tire determined, all of which are expressed in
the judgment. Secondly, it acts ministerially,
wherein, under command in writing, an officer
of law, either transfers certain specific property
from the possession of the promisor to that of
the promisee, or converts into money, in a mode
prescribed, such portion of the promisor’s pio-
perty ns will satisfy the judgment, and delivers it
to the possessee. This done, the obligation ot
t he contract is consumatcd—its performance is
enforced.
But if, when the judgment shall have been
rendered, and the next step which according to
the law which creates obligation, is to issue this
written authority (called an execution,) without
which the judgment would be valueless, the
State shall pass a law forbidding the issuance for
one year; or, if, after it shall have been passed,
the proper officer is forbidden to execute it, with
in a year, whtit effect has this legislation upon tlic
obligation V Wc arc told the effect, is to suspend
it, leaving it vitally untouched. True by the
terms of the law vitality remains, but does thi9
satisfy the Constitution ? Is there no dimunition,
no weakening, no impairment of the force of the
law compelling performance?
Lexicographers tell us that to impair, is to “di
minish—to injure—to lessen in value." Suppose
A bought a judgment against B—and C to ob
tain another against D, at the same time each
founded on contract, and both according to the
general law, -whence the obligation of the con
tracts spring, capable of immediate execution.—
Then suppose the Legislature to intervene, and
enact that the former shall not be executed with
in one year, leaving the latter untouched, would
there be no difficulty in tlic relative strength of the
two obligations? A man in paralysis has vitali
ty as positive as he has in good health; yet it is
impaired. So A’s judgment lias an obligation,
but it is paralyzed, “wakened," “diminished" by
file temporary loss of its active quality, and
therefore impaired.
In executory contracts, time is always an im
portant element It will probably be conceded
that it would be unconstitutional for the General
Assembly to enact that no promissory notes here
tofore made, and to mature on the first day of
January, 1867, shall be considered clue, and pay
able before the first day of January, 1868. If
this be so it is difficult to perceive how the con
stitutionality of the act can be maintained. If
the day of payment may not be postponed before
maturity by legislative action, it would seem “a
fortiorC" that it may not be after maturity; or,
rather, that the contract may not be throw n back
into immaturity, and a new day of payment ap
pointed by such action. Pursuing the line of ar
gument, the right of the promisee does not lose
its character of contract by the institution of a
suit, nor bv the rendition of a judgment to en
force it. That character abides, and to it the
constitutional guaranty adheres until it is either
extinguished by performance or smothered by a
statute of repose. Indeed, this act specially 're
fers to contracts in judgment and to their dates.
Hence I conclude the Legislature has no more
power to appoint a new and distant day of pay
ment after suit commenced or judgment rendered
than before. In all other respects the promisee’s
condition is considered better after judgment;
why worse in this? Before judgment is "impor
tant to compel immediate performance of the
contract. The judgment makes that will the mo
tive power of the obligation, for by it the execu
tion—ihc final process—may be put in actiou.—
But, by legislation of this character, that motive
power is suspended—temporarily abstracted trom
the obligation. Perpetual injunction would de
stroy the obligation, quo ad. the action ol this
State; and I cannot resist the conclusion that
temporary injunction would impair it.
Again, the judguieut and execution which are
intended to be the consummation, or end of the
obligation, are lawful subjects of traffic, are sale :
able commodities. It is indisputable that the
possession, and exercise by' the Legislature of the
power of suspending their operation, would “les
sen their mind’ as such; and this brings such
legislation within another definition ot impair
ment, viz : it “h*sens the value."
If one Legislature may postpone for a year,
each subsequent one may do the same.
Already have the judgments affected by this
act been suspended five years by such action.
Upon principle, these successive postponements
might as well be continued an hundred years or
through all time.
The hundredth would be as valid as any pre
ceding one. But how, meantime, fares the obli
gation ? The consolation offered to the pro
misee, and repeated to successive generations of
his posterity, would be, that it flourished in a
green old age, its strength unimpaired by time.
The strength of the argument in favor of stay
laws lies in the proposition, that final process i's
but a part of the remedy which must always be
within the power of the, Legislature; otherwise,
it would he impossible to correct errors in juris
prudence or to improve the system as experience
may develop its effects. The power of the Leg
islature to modify remedies, even at the cost of
delay to suitors, then in court, must be consid
ered, but with two qualifications:
First, the intention must be bona fide to change
permanently, and to improve the system.—
Secondly, this must always be done, if possible,
so as to act to affect injuriously antecedent riglhs.
This act cannot be brought within either of
them. First, it contemplates neither any im
provement nor any permanent change of the
judicial system. Sections 3553 to 3557, and sec
tion 336 of the Revised Code, regulate proceed
ing after judgment in suits to enforce contracts.
It is obviously not the intention of the General
Assembly to make any change in these, further
than to suspend them for a time in the class of
cases described in the act. No other course of
proceeding is substituted—judgments rendered
for special purposes are excepted—and none
™?- v hereafter "be rendered on contracts {if, after consideration, which I rcspectftiHv in-
“f tirst^day of June, 1865, are in- vite, a constitutional majority of the General As
sembly should adhere to the measure, I shall in
dulge the hope that no detriment will come to
the State, either from its seemingly unequal
eluded in the stay. In such cases, therefore, the
courses of the law will be the same as liereto-
fore. kecoruBg, if the change were permanent—
if it contemplated just such a stay of execution,
under judgments to be obtained, founded on con
tracts made since the first day of June last, the
office of sheriff is nevertheless continued; and,
therefore, all judgments founded on contracts
heretofore made might be executed as well as in
times past, and the obligation of the contract he
unaffected; but in point of fact the bill not only
affects them, but injuriously discriminates against
Here, then, is plenary evidence that it is not
one of those great reformatory measures, design
ed to improve the judicial system, for the per
manent advantage of the body politic—that in
truth it makes no change in the system, but only
withdraws for a time from a certain class of con
tracts its obligatory operation. It is a temporary
expedient, interposed between the debtor and
creditor for the relief of the former. It postpones
G>r one year absolutely, and for tour conditionally
the full performance of all the contracts entered
into before the first of June last, and in my opin
ion as llagrantly violates the Constitution as if it
affected contracts running to maturity, by post
poning the day of payment one or four years be
yond that fixed by the terms of each.
The course of reasoning adopted, the princi
ples affirmed, and the rules of construction ap
plied to this clause of the Constitution by the Su
preme Court ot the United States in several cases,
seem to me to lead to this conclusion, although
in none of them were the Legislative act reviewed
identical in their provisiens with this. These I
shall simply state without quoting from them.—
They are Sturges vs. Browningsbield, 4th Wheat
on, 122; Green vs. Biddle, 8tii Wheaton, 1; Og
den, vs. Sanders, 12th, Wheaton, 213; Bronson
vs. Kinzee, 1 Howard, 311; McCracken vs. Hay
ward 2 Howard, 608.
In tiiese cases, stay laws are, by way of illus
tration, more than once referred to as violating
tliis clause of the Constitution. In the first, Chief
Justice Marshall, who bore a part in the pro
ceedings for the adoption of the Constitution, ex
presses tlic opinion that the passing of such laws
by the States was one of the chief causes which
induced the insertion of this clause. Judge Par
sons, at page 703, of the 2d volume of his author
itative treatise ou contracts, affirm the proposi
tion, its established by authority, that “an exemp
tion of property from attachment (by which is
meant levy) or a subjection of it to a stay law or
appraisement law, impairs the obligation of the
contract." He adds: “Such a statute can be en
forced only as to contracts made subsequently to
the law.”
There tire, I concede, cases supporting the op
posite conclusion, but I think they are sustained
neither by the weight of authority nor by the
force of logic.
Our own Constitution contains a clause simi
lar to that quoted from the Constitution of the
United States. But it is not alone this duplicate
prohibition which, in my opinion, precludes leg
islation of this character. The first clause of the
first section of the second article of the Constitu
tion of Georgia is in these words: “The Legisla
tive, Executive and Judicial departments shall
be confided to a separate body of magistracy.
No person, or collection of persons, being of one de
partment, shall exercise any power properly attach
ed to either of the others, except in cases herein ex
pressly excepted. It is to the latter sentence I per
tinently refer. The investigation and determi
nation of private rights; the enforcement of con-’
tracts between individuals when one of the par
ties refuses compliance, and clearly powers pro
perly belonging to the judicial department Their
exercise is invoked by suit in court, which, being
instituted, is properly under the control of that
department, from the filing of the petition to the
return of final process, executed; when, for the
purpose of preventing wrong or oppression, or of
doing full and complete justice in any case, it
becomes necessary to arrest the proceeding.
Whether before or after judgment, this can only
be done by the writ of injunction, and that issues
properly out of Chancery, which appertains ex
clusively to the judicial department. What are
the rights upon which the bill under considera
tion acts ? They are those which have been as
serted by suits in courts of justice; have beep
those investigated and adjudicated, and which
those courts are proceeding to enforce by their
final process, called executions. What action
does this bill propose upon them ? It does not,
indeed, set them aside—annul them, but it sus
pends action under them for a specified time.
What is this suspension but an injunction of a
judicial proceeding? The form of the writ used
in the department to which the power properly
belongs, is not observed, but the precise end is
attained; the injunction is as effectually imposed
as if a writ in due form had emated from the leg
islative source.
Let us look a little more in detail into this
mutter. A writ called an execution issues from
the Jnfcrioi Court of Baldwin county directed
to the sheriff, commanding him to make by levy
and sale of the property of C_D one hundred
dollars, which A B lately in that court recover
ed of him, aud further that he return that writ
into court tit the next term, which means in law,
that he return it executed. If the sheriff do not
make the money as required, he may, at the re
turn term of the writ, be ruled and compelled to
pay it himself, unless he can show good cause
tor his failure. This is the course of the law,
and tiiis its end. But suppose when so called on
he should exhibit a writ, sued out of the Chan
cery side of the Superior Court of Baldwin coun
ty, at the suit of C D, commanding him to desist
front levy and sale, under that particular execu
tion, until the further order of the court; he
stands justified because he is enjoined. One
branch of the judicial department, armed by
law with the power, has arrested another, and
no violence is done to the constitution. But
suppose, instead of exhibiting a writ of injunc
tion from the Superior Court, he should exhibit
an act ot the Legislature forbidding him to exe
cute within a year, any./? .fa. issued by any court.
If he be excused, on what ground ? Clearly that
he was enjoined. That the judicial injunction,
in the one case was in the exercise of “a power
properly attached” to the judicial department
cannot possibly be denied. Then how can it lie
maintained that the imposition of the legislative
injuction, in the other case, would be conformable
to the provisions of the Constitution I have
quoted. It is not manifest that such legislation
produces direct collision between the depart
ments? The mandate issued by the judicial de
partment was in strict conformity with the laws
of the State. Without repealing those let*,’?,
without permanently curtailing powers ot the
courts, the legislative department simply in
terrenes and forbids the ministerial officer obey
ing the judicial mandate. It was for the express
purpose of preventing such conflict this provision
was inserted in the Constitution.
There is another objection to the bill which I
cannot pass over in silence. It classifies con
tracts and discriminates between the classes, in
juriously to one of them, or rather to the parties
interested in their enforcement. Contracts made
prior to the first day of June, 1865, constitute
oue class, those made subsequently, another.—
To the former only is the stay ot execution, un
der it, applied. If separate judgments should
be obtained in the month of January, 1867, the
oue founded on a contract entered into before
the first day of June, 1865, and the other on a
contract made after the last mentioned day, even
though they were based upon considerations
equally meritorious, the stay of this law would
attach to the former, and not to the latter. I am
utterly at a loss to conjecture upon what principle,
consistent with equal justice, this discrimination
is founded. Indeed it would seem that if any
discrimination were made, it should be in favor
of that class of creditors, a very large majority
of whom have already been subjected to five of
these legislative injunctions, successively enacted,
and so linked, as to composes chain, extending
over as many years. The elder creditor is tied
up and the junior left untrameled; nay more,
the judgment creditor of five or more years
standing is arrested, whilst to the simple contract
creditor of yesterday, the highway to full and
complete compulsory performance is left open.
It may be said that whenever a junior execution,
not stayed by the proposed law, shall l»y levy
and sale cause money to be made, the older exe
cutions are not restrained from being interposed
to claim it. But this can scarcely be intended,
for in that event, the law must fail to give the
promised relief. Under any circumstances, this
could only occur where there were judgments of
both classes against the s^rne debtor, and the
suggestion therefore does not-relieve the measure
from the alleged discrimination. Even in those
cases the debtor would be under a strong temp
tation to apply his means to the satisfaction of
the junior judgment, reserving for the senior
only the annual instalment necessary to keep
hint in fetters, and thus the discrimination would
still operate injuriously.
I take no pleasure iit the performance of this
duty. Always reluctant to disagree with the
General Assembly, I can truly say this disagree
ment is painful in the extreme. I have abun
dant sympathy for the suffering people of Geor
gia, and in the desire of the General Assembly ■
to alleviate their sufferings. But on entering this
office I took at the threshold, in presence of you
all, a solemn oath to preserve, protect and "de
fend the Constitution of the United States, and
of the State of Georgia; aud this I must do, as
I, not as others understand those instruments.—
If I doubted I would give the measure the bene
fit of the doubt and leave its constitutionality
to the courts; but, not doubting, I must dissent
as 1 regard my oath. Upon such subjects, men
equally earnest in search of truth, and equal
ly upright, and fair, in their habits of thought,
are prone to differ. Whenever such a dif
ference occurs, it becomes each party to ex
tend to the other the meed of upright intention.
