Slagle Copies or the Sea for Sale at tfee WUU.Y S Cento Jwdge MepkMi’ Letter. We need not in-rite the attention of onr readers to the important communi cation of this distinguished gentleman, tor it will be attentively perused by all. It it addressed to onr neighbor, the Era, in reply to its strictures upon the article of our correspondent “S,” on the sub ject of electing e suoceesor to Oov._ Bui- look, and the assumption of the Era, that Judge Stephens was the author of that communication. Judge Stephens has kindly furnished us with a copy of his letter to the Era, that it may appear in Toe Sun at the samo time, as the subject is one of special importance, and a eon tinuanoe of the discussion begun in our oolumna. This letter, like everything from ite distinguished author, is clear, able and exhaustive of tho subject-matter. It is so direct and conclusive, that we do not see how the oditor of tho Era can attempt even to dodge it; and he oertainly can not esoepe the crushing force of the un answerable argument. Our neighbor fell into quite an error in attributing the authorship of the article, by our correspondent “ S,” to Judge Ste phens, whioh article it attempted to reply to, but in the attempt made a signal fail- asm, as it will, if it attempts a reply to Judge Stephens, for Ms truth is ogaiust the Era's view of it Over-Issue of $80,000,000South Carolina Honda The New York World of Monday gives the rumors and reports in that city in regard to the earpet-hegger, Oov. Scott's, financiering in bonds of the Siatc of South Carolina Tho editor says: I toiud a doabt that the la fact, and that Inatoad of l pnt on the market here." Scott and Bnllook, it seems, bavo boon playing tho same game. Bullock has fled, but Scott is all serene, for be has no fear of a Democratic Legislature to investigate his conduct, expose his wrong-doing, and impeach and expose him, if found guilty. Tit 5 Holcombe Bill Repealed. We return thanks to the Legislature for so promptly passing the act relieving the oity from the Oerrymandering action of the last so-called Legislature; also, to the jad interim Govornor for the just measure of approving tho same without This measure of justice to us was of pressing importance, for our municipal election to toon to take place. It has been a special favor to the people of At lanta, for whioh ww are thankful. Wo would not have asked a favor of this kind exoept to rid us of the greet wrong whioh Radicalism bad wickedly imposed, in a ease whioh would not admit of de lay. Our Immediate representatives in both Houses deserve well of the people of this city for their seel in this matter. The Gubernatorial Vacancy. Sfaxta, 7th November, 1871. Ta the Atlanta 1few Era i la an editorial of the 4th iusk, com menting on an article signed " 8.,” whioh appeared in Tun Sun a few deys ego, on the subject of especial election to fill the present vacancy in the office of Governor, you allude to me in a way whioh entitles me to a reply through your columns. Yon hold mo forth to the public as the author of the article, and at the same tune characterise it as diaoourteous, un worthy of my talents, and inconsistent with my well known principles. If the article to indeed unworthy of my talents, and inconsistent with my well known principles, then its own in ternal evidence ought to have preserved you from the discourtesy of imputing it to me. Thiajtnterns! evidence, surely, was not overcome by any credible exter nal evidence; for, in point of fact, am ikN the author of tha article in question, nor did I ever see it, or heer of it, until I saw it in Tux Sun newspaper. Do you think you are quite ■a careful to refrain from discourtesy as you are prompt to oomplein of it f Or, are the “rules of disputation known end reeognined among gentlemen of eduoo- toon,” -tooaetraad" by you ee a restraint upon others, bate lioenai to yourself, yon to hull chargee of dto- peraonalin consistency, not only without evidenoe, but against svtdenn, and against tho troth of tho asset Do not understand me, howevar, at dissenting from either the conelutioe or the reasoning of “ft 1 At to the epithet of “stupid,'' which was applied to yen, it was amply aupafta- ana. After the cogent and eenvfncing argument of “8.," it might safely have been left the publjo to apply the proper epithet to yours. I must ask tome additional Bpsce in reply tp your oommenta oh my views of ‘/ftript- construMioo.'' And, first of all, in discussing a con- n, appeal to my princi- oouatrucUon," rather than question, a] uJpBt "strict oouatrui to your own party's principle of most latitudinarian ” construction I—so “ latitudinarian" as to have got entirely “outside" of ell the Consti tutions, Federal and State, and overrid den them all with the bayonet during more l) an four years of profound peace? The public will be apt to believe that you have abandoned your party’s favorite principle of construction, only because it would serve your present party neces sity. You are most weloome, however, to all possible benefit, whioh you can legitimately derive from the rule at con struction held by the constitutional school to which I belong. All I ask to that you shall abide by it, after having appealed to it, and that yon shall have it oorrecliy Mated. It ia a great mistake to suppose, as your reasoning assumes, that the doe- trine of “strict construction” has an universal application to ail parts of a constitution, without regard to the char acter or subject-matter of the different parts. It is oonfiDed to such parts as confer powers to be exercised an the peo ple, and is not at all applicable to such parts as provide machinery for the exer- oise of powers, by the people. These latter are purely remedial in their nature, and, like all purely remedial laws, should bo so ooustrued as to ad vance the remedy. Here the rulo of ooustructiou is liberal, and, if you please, 'latitudinarian,” stretching tho remedy even beyond the scopo of the words, when tho object in view, or tho reason of the provision, would otherwise fail. Now all those ports of our State Con stitution whioh relate ta the elections of Governor, quadrennial and special, ore remedial, and should be so construed, as ia facilitate the people in the exercise of the elective franchise, rather than to de bar them from it. Ia tho remedial parts of the fundamental law, fnrnishiDg rem edies, or machinery for enabling or fa cilitating the people in the exerciso of rights and powers, all parties have, in tho main, agreed as to the rulo of con struction. Thoso who have been known as “latitudinarianB," bate insisted that this same rule of liberal construction should bo applied alike to all ports of the fundamental Jaw, while the strict con- structionists have manfully struggled to keep it confined to the remedial parts, insisting that all powers, which arc to be exercised on the people, shall ho rigidly limited by tho scopo of the words em ployed toilescribo them. It is, howover, an enormous mistake to suppose, os your reasoning again assumes, that the rule of “strict construction ” holds these powers to be limited by nothing but the words, and to be always and nec essarily co-extcusivu with the full scopo of tho words. On the contrary, the strict construc tionists, wbilo insisting that tho words shall ulways constitute ru absolute limit upon tire power, yet agree with the “lat- itudinarians ” that the words themselves are to bo restrained and controlled, and tho power limited l>y several other things: For instance, by the particular subject- matter about which the words arc used; by the consequences to which tho full ef fect of tho words would lead ; and liy tho general object in rim; or, in other words, by tho reason or spirit of the provision ; it boing a universal rulo of construction, applicable alike to all laws, ortmiual and olvil, constitutional and statutory, that the mero words shall never carry the law beyond the objeot or reason for which it was made, when that object or reason is satisfactorily ascertained by any means whatever. “ Cessanle ratione legis, cessat Ur," Tho doctrino of strict ooustructiou, os applicable to oonstitutions, has a perfect illustration and elucidation, in the same doctrine as it to applied to, and univer sally understood in, criminal law. Crim inal statutes are never to be extended be yond tbe scope if the tcords, however plain may be tho object, or rooson of tho law ; or however absurd may be tho oousequeuoes of stopping at that boundary, Aud just bore is found tho rule of strict construe tion. Thus the statute of Bolognn, mention ed by lllackstonc, enacted t -at “whoev er drew blood in tho streets should be puuished with tho utmost severity.”— This law could not ho applied to the most wanton murderer who might kill his victim in the streets, if tho killing should bo douo by strangulation, not drawing any blooil; for tho tponls do not oover such a cose, although tho case is quite ns bad as if blood wore drawn in tho killing, and is os clearly witbiu the reason of tho tow. Bat it is equally true that howover clearly a case may bo covered by the words of a criminal law, yet tho words will be restrained and limited to the object in view, or by any absurd con sequence whioh would follow from their unrestricted natural force. And just hare coatee in the rale of liberal construc tion. Thru, the words of this same Bo logna law clearly covered the ease of a surgeon who bled a man in the streets to relieve him from a fainting fit; but it was held to be not applicable to that oaae, because the infliction of death fora truly benevolent action would be absurd—I will not offend you by saying “stupid.” The sum of the matter is, tho consti tutional school, to which I belong, holds that oonxtituSona are to be construed striotly, or liberally, as the one construc tion or tha other will operate in favor of public liberty, just as criminal laws are to be oonatnad, strictly or liberally, aa tha ana oonatruotion or the other will op erate In favor of personal liberty. Your argument to that a special elec tion, to fill the praaant vacancy in tha office of Governor, finds an insurmount able obstacle in tha one word “Bvxnr, which oooun in parapraph II, section I, article IV, of tha Constitution, directing that the returns for “Eyeby” election of Governor shell be laid before the Senate, the day after the organization of the two Houses. That day to already passed, and your ooudusion is that, Oterefore, tho election of a new Governor cannot be now declared, nor tho Governor qualified on tbe day prescribed by the Constitu tion—not even under a special election— which, according to the expreaa terms of asubsequoot part of the Constitution, may be provided for by statute; the statute, of conrse, regulating tho whole matter, returns and alt. Your one great word 'Evany, ” occurs where tho Constitution is providing for the regular, quadrennial election. Judge Blackstone says “words are always to be understood as having a regard to the subject-matter, for that is always supposed to be in the eye of the legislator, end all his expressions direct ed to that end." The subject-matter is tbe regular quadrennial election, and all the words, including this tremendous word “Eveby,” must be considered as ‘directed to that end,” and limited to it. Tho subjeot-matter of a subsequent part, is special provision for vacancies, the Constitution itself providing that the Execntive powers shall be exercised by other officers during the vaeanoy; but leaving the Legislature to provide by law how the vacancy shall be filled, and so ended. The Constitution itself makes complete provision for the regular quad rennial elections, but makes no provision for the special elections, only empower ing tbe Legislature to make it—to make it complete ia all respects. Is a single word in one part of the Conatitu- tioimiatiug to ouo subject-matter, to de stroy tho unlimited power which is given to the Legislature in another part, in relation to tbe different subject-mat ter ? One part of the Constitution pro viiles that the Governor shall hold his office during the term of four years.— Does this apply to a Governor who comes in to fill an unexpired term ? Does it apply to your so-called Governor Conley, who is exercising the Executive powers ex-officio, without having any office by vir tue of which to exercise the powers qf an other office f Is this general provision violated by the removal of a Governor on Impeachment, under a special provis ion in another part of tbe Constitution ? Such are the absurdities into which you aro betrayed by attempting to use the doctrine of “etrict construction," with out understanding what it is, or even professing a belief in its soundness. The precedents which you cite in the cases of Qovernor Rabun and others, can have no possible application under our present Constitution; for tho simple rea son that the Constitution under which they occurred did not empower the Leg islature to provide by law for filling va cancies in the offioe of Governor by spe cial election. This feature appears in our constitutional history, for the first time, in tho Constitution of 1868. The precedents occurred when the Governor was electod by the Legislature, and not by the people.
