lie Tells Some Facts Relating to the Ac

with tlic East Georgia Election—His Con
nection with the State Road Lease.
To the Members Elect of the General Assembly
of Georgia :
Because of the facts herein slated, I deem it
my duty respeclfully to make directly to you
this communication:
Fending the canvass for your election,in 1870,
I came in possession of information which sat
isfied my mind that in tho event of a decided
Democratic success in that election, an effort
would be made to set aside the result, if a pre
text therefor could be obtained. In other words,
another reconstruction of the State wbs to be
attempted, so far at least as to exclude from
their seats successfnlDemocrats and the substi-
tion of their defeated opponents, sufficient to
change tbo political complexion of the Assem
bly. I did not doubt—have never doubted—
such Democratic success in Georgia on existing
issues, and have always believed that success
would be increased in exact proportion as the
balloting was free, quiet and fair, and the count
ing of the votes was correct and honest.
While this reconstruction was the fixed pur
pose of an extreme faction of one party, I greatly
feared the unnecessary and intemperate, though
doubtless patriotic zeal, of extreme men in the
Democratic party would furnish the pretoxt to
give this purposo success. With such a result
again fixed upon us, I could see no peace or
prosperity for Georgia. By such repeated move
ments in the past, onr property had been de
preciated, our business paralyzed, our burdens
increased, aud our hopes of recuperation post
poned and disappointed, until I could see noth
ing but irretrieveable ruin beyond a second
repetition. I could imagino no higher patriotic
motive than that of averting, by honorable
moans if possible, such a catastrophe, and I un
dertook that work.
Mature reflection and cIoro observation had,
before that time, entirely satisfied me that,
right or wrong, the 14th and 15th amendments
would be held to have become fixed parts of the
Constitution, and that as 6ucb, and as, in their
opinion, embodying the final and permanent
results of the war, they would be recognized by
all tbe people of all parties at the North, and
that no national party could or wonldtake issue
upon them, as such results, in the Presidential
canvass of 1872. The time had thus come for
the Southern people to accept, as accomplished
facts, what they did not adopt by consent, and
obey what they could not resist.
Thus informed and thus convinced, I deemed
it my solemn duty to remove as far as my act
could all pretext for interference with what I
did not doubt would be the result of the elec
tion. With this distinct and single purpose, I
issued two weeks before the eleotion the address
of December 8tb, urging our people to recog
nize all the civil and political rights conferred
by these amendments, and to protect, avow
edly, all persons in the exercise of those rights.
This address had at least the effect of placing
JP -j. - — me in position to be heard in the sequel.
tored a heavy gale and split her sail3 and spruDg The election resulted as I anticipated. But,
»le&k. “also, as I feared, the actions and expressed views
*— - ■ * of some of friends in different portions of tho
State, were really or intentionally misconstrued
as designed to intimidate and defraud the col
ored voters, and were, in fact, made the founda
tion for an earnest effort to set aside the elec
tion in the manner indicated above. It so hap
pened I was in a position to be informed of tbis
movement, and I did not shrink from the im
perative duty of meeting it. It was defeated,
and for the first time since the work of recon
struction began a Legislature in Georgia, as
chosen by the people, will assemble and qualify
and act. I congratulate yon and the people on
this auspicious result.
I do not propose now to go into the details.
Yon shall have them if desirable, for though it
has been proper to withhold them from the
publio heretofore, there was nothing said or
done by me or by those with whom I acted,
which yon and the public may not know after
you have entered upon yonr duties. In some
respects the work was not pleasant, bnt he has
little oonrage and less worth who fails in duty
because in some of its features and associations
it is personally unpleasant. I will make two
general remarks:
Tbe first is, that for discharging only my duty
I have received only unmitigated slanders from
those who made the duty a necessity; and some
who were provoking, and miserable carpet bag-
g6rs who were actually using the provocations
to accomplish, another reoonstrnetion, have
actually joined in unique coalition in these
slanders.
The second remark is, that I have heard kind
words, and witnessed a manifest readiness to
hear trnth and deal justly on the basis of the
constitution, on the part of some high in national
position, from whom we have been taught to
expect neither kindness nor justice. Bnt it is
to the following facts I desire now, in justice to
myself, to call your special attention.
I had no right to make, and did not make
any pledges or promises for you. I made none
for myself. None were exaoted from either. I
did,_ however, in the most emphatic terms, re
pudiate all the pretences for the fears alleged
to be entertained of ultra measures to be adopted
by yon, and I did express the opinion that yonr
election represented the true will of our people,
and that, in the expression of that will through
your legislation, you would recognize and obey
the existing Constitution of the United 8tates
as proclaimed by the authorities of tho United
States, and that yon wonld observe, respect and
protect equally all the civil and political rights
of all persons withont regard to “caste, color or
previous condition of servitude,” as provided by
tho Constitution, and by all tho amendments
thereto. Those who sought reconstruction
made earnest representations to tho contrary
and urged, in support of their representations,
the action of the Democrats who united with
some white Republicans in exoluding the colored
members from their seats in a former Legisla
ture, and tho violent utterances and alleged ac-
tionof some of r our leading men before and
daring the election, resulting, as they insisted,
in the choice of many of you os the exponents
of the views and policy of these gentlemen.
I have an nndonbting faith that your wisdom
and p 'iotism will amply justify and vindicate
my op.nion of your official action.
While,- on the one hand, it is scarcely neces-
es3ary for me to say I wonld not, nnder any
circumstances, advise onr people to become
consenting parties to the adoption of measures
dishonoring to them; so, on the other hand, I
can never counsel continued opposition to meas
ures adopted and facts accomplished as declared
by the constituted authorities of the govern
ment, and as submitted to by the people; espe
cially when such opposition cannot change re
sults, and will be regarded as manifesting a
fretful spite inimical to the government, weak
ening to our friends, and which is always made
tbe occasion and excuse for continued oppres
sions upon ourselves.
This Bimple statement, so consistent and
manifestly reasonable, embodies all tbo philos
ophy of my politics nndor reconstruction, and
formed the confident basis of my opinion that
you would, in good faith, recognize the Constitu
tion as it is in all yonr legislative functions; and
upon this basis I sought to remove, as far as I
could, all the apprehensions which threatened
our State with the inexpressible horrors of an
other reconstruction.
Whether that is law which every department
of government, State and National, recognizes,
administers and executes as law, and to which
all the people submit, is, with me, not a debate-
able question. Therefore. I did not doubt
when! issued the address of December, that the
recognition of all the amendments, whether
regularly or irregularly made, wonld form com
mon gronnd for all parties in 1872, and tbe dif- j
ferences between parties wonld arise in the con- ‘
strnction, meaning and effect of tho amend
ments. It is singular that men, claiming to be
statesmen, should say there was no gronnd for
snch differences. These differences are exactly
those between removingand continuing political
disabilities upon white people; between cen
tralism and constitutionalism; between carry
ing on tbe revolution and stopping it:
Every Democratic Convention which has as
sembled since December has confirmed the cor
rectness of my views then expressed, and I havo
no doubt your action will also confirm them,
and tho people of Georgia will sustain yon with
a voice approaching unanimity.
There is one other subject to which I beg
permission to call yonr attention: I am one of
the lessees of the Western and Atlantic Railroad,
—property of the State. I havo always felt an
aversion to “trading with the State.” *But it is
the duty of every patriot to conform his action
and views to the good 'of the public, and pecu
liarly so nnder the necessities resulting from a
revolution.
In the fall of 1870 a patriotic and able mem
ber of the General Assembly then in session,
called my attention, to the fact that this road
was in danger of being utterly lost to the Stato.
Numberless bonds were being authorized to bo
issued, and a proposition was ponding to sell
the road, with a view, it was believed, of mak
ing nominal payment in these bonds. This
gentleman believed there was bnt one way to
defeat tbis scheme, and that was by a bill to
lease tbe road. I concurred earnestly in the
wisdom of that measure. It was adopted. Be
ing thus, in some degree, responsible for tbe
law to lease, I determined to do all in my power
to secure a good, safe and reliable lease. While
not in all respects, as I would have preferred, I
believe the company formed, is as good and as
safe as can be found and the rental paid is reas
onable. I believe tbis measure has already
saved to the State more than one million of dol
lars. I believe it will save millions of money,
and more than millions of corrnption in the fu
ture. I believe, therefore, it is best for the
State that the lease be sustained and the com
pany encouraged to keep and observe it. While,
therefore, I have determined never to surrender
the road into the hands of those who were run
ning it withont profit to the State, bnt who were
taxing the people to keep it up; so, on the oth
er hand, it is well known that, for one, I hold it
subject to the will of the true owners, and ready
to return it when safe and proper to do so, and
tho people desire it. So now I say to you, and
invite- your closest scrutiny and honest judg
ment in the premises.
And now £ feel that all my duties tonchingthe
matters referred to are fully discharged. In
some respects they have been the most • npleas-
ant of my life. They have certainly been the
most mistaken and misrepresented. Yet I be
lieve they have accomplished more immediate
and practical beneficial results than any acts of
my life. In all this I havo done nothing to serve
parly, to destroy party, or to build up new par
ties, nor to promote any selfish end, and I de
spise the dirty slanderers, anonymous cowards,
and cent-per-cent sensational writers who have
made such charges. “They are all liars and
the truth is not in them.” I have had no pur
pose but to secure once more and on an honor
able basis a true representation of tbe people of
the State, and to save tho property of that peo
ple. With an inward consciousness that my
motives were patriotic, and with a positive
knowledge that my humble efforts were bearing
good fruits for the people, aud for none more
than for my slanderers, I have abided in tbe
faith that the time would come when justice
would be aocorded me, and when (as I notified
them as early as December last) my detractors
would find “they had only made a record for
themselves of which they would be ashamed if
they possessed the sensibilities of gentlemen.”
With a lively hope that yonr labors will
achieve mnch good for onr long oppressed com
monwealth; that all sectional bitterness will
subside; that all personal acrimony will cease;
and that the terrible revolution which has bnried
so many brave men, which has destroyed so
mnch valuable property, which has subverted so
many valued rights, and which ba3 broken so
maDy hearts and hopes, has fonnd a final end,
I am, with high regard, yours very truly,

From the Chicago Jonrnal, September 20.]
Deab Sib: Yon have recently said, in the
Golden Age: “I hold that love, and love only,
constitutes the marriage; that marriage makes
the bond, and not tbe bond the marriage; and
that, as the contract is to love and honor, so
that when the love and honor end, the contract
dissolves and the marriage ceases.” Doubtless
this is practically true. If you fail to do what
you promise to do; if the fulfillment ceases en
tirely, and the bond is by you utterly broken
and thrown away, undoubtedly your crime is
the death of the contract. That fact was toler
ably familiar as far back as the Stone Age, the
savage philosophy of which yon will hardly bo
able to prove a golden fruit of new culture.
There probably is not a decent woman on the
globe who, properly comprehending your state
ment, will not confess its ugly truth. A prom
ise to pay dies when the paying finally ceases.
A promise to love and honor dies when tho lov
ing and honoring finally cease. The bright
honor of the promise being gone, its veracity
gone, everything that it was entirely gone, of
course it is gone, with all which it oreated. And
that is yonr theory of the treatment of woman,
to get rid of the marriage by getting rid of the
contract creating it, and to get rid of the con
tract by the method of dishonor!
I tako in hand tho case whioh yon commonly
pat, that of the man against the woman. Yon
say, “I would no more permit the law of tho
land to enchain me to a woman whom I did not
love than I wonld permit the same law to hand
cuff me as aslave.” I omit part of your sentence,
which does not affect the case of man simply,
in his treatment of woman and wife. In what
I quote you declare that you will not permit tho
law of the land to hold yon to yonr own iree
promise and sacred contraot. Have yon no
logic ? Is this a qnestion of taking you by foroe
and handcuffing yon to a.woman against yonr
will? If it is not, then there is no argument in
your comparison. Is slavery the slave’s free
and honorable contract? If it is not, then there
is not a jot of reason in ths assumed analogy.
No, Sir; this is a question of your contract
with a woman, made upon free and urgent de
sire, freely and deliberately made, made with
the combined seriousness and sacredness of re
ligion and law, religion for the reality of the
bond, and law for the cover and form of the
bond, the religion not leaning one whit for trnth
on the law, nor the law intruding one hair’s
breadth upon the religion, but both agreeing to
seal a contract the most firm and sure, as it is
the most free and deliberate, known to human
economy.
The matter of some other relation than a mar
riage of love and honor would of course raise
other questions. But these I need not discuss.
If one wants a concubine, one or more, the
world is wide and hell thereof sufficiently ac
cessible. But I assume that you mean, not that
conscionsly and deliberately, but good and trne
marriage. Therefore, I am bound to find in
your words the declaration that you will not let
the law of the land hold you to your own free
and solemn contract. And your reason for re
fusing to have the for mot horn* maintained by
the law i3 that you do not mean to be held to
the fact of honor. It is not that you would have
religion alone constrain yon to fulfill your con
tract, but that you want a chance to violate your
contract. You say “love shonld be like religion,
free from mandate by tho civil law,” and you
prophesy that “the next generation will gild
this sentiment with fine gold." The sentiment
has been done in brass a sufficiently long time
to be familiar, and would not be much improved
if the next generation should make of it a golden
calf. I mean tbe sentiment of love free to vio
late contracts. You seem to invoke religion;
in fact, yon invoke nothing but rascality. For
yon demand freedom to violate the religion, as
well as the law, of marriage, to break yonr re
ligious promise a3 well a3 your legal. You only
care to have the law let you alone in order that
yon may leave the woman to whom religion lias
bonnd yon.
There is bat one ground whioh I need con
sider here to make plain tho infamous character
of the license to violate both religion and law
which yon demand for yourself; and that is the
reason whioh tho woman you wish to put away
had to require of yon a contract, a deeply relig
ious and firmly legal contract, as the basis of
marriage. Yon desired her to give you, irrevo
cably, that honor of person and of life, which
is the sacrament of her existence. You wished
to take from her sureties of marriage which*
once given are forever given. There doubtless
are females diseased in body and imagination
from their birth, to whom honor i3 not honor
under any constraints of solemn promise of un
changing fidelity. Bnt tho average decent wo
man, to whomnakednessisnot necessary to the
perfect luxury of chastity, requires, and must
always require, the strongest assurance of that
protection for her honor which only a deeply re
ligions promise of unchanging fidelity can give.
If you do not mean to offer this in seeking a
woman in marriage, then yon do not mean love
and honor, and propose a marriage which is a
swindle and an ontrago. Such rascality is but
too possible where there is question of winning
a woman, the winning to enjoy is so much more
to the average male mind than the winning to
love and honor. In a state of double guardian
ship of woman, by religion and by law, it is
stiil a fearfully common thing for men to simu
late or imagine, nnder the impulse cf desire,
love and honor which do not exist. Hence the
necessity to woman of law to give form to the
fact, or the fancy, of love and honor, which
form her sole security in marriage. Law will
forbid the man to let his desires wander; it
will, at least, cotnpell him to maintain a decent
form of permanent protection for woman. The
doable contract, relieions for tbe real fact, and
legal for the outward cover and form, is no more
than woman may demand.
I have spoken only of tho woman’s honor. It
wero enough to speak of that. But beyond
that is her chance in life, whioh, on the average,
is terribly injured by tbo miscarriage of a mar
riage- relation. She can give bnt once the
fairest freshness of her nature. Too often, if
set aside, she must remain a rejected thing,
perhaps helpless to live, except by methods of
direct toil or uttermost shame. It must be more
than a slight cause, more than an ordinary rea
son, which can make her willing to forego the
form at least of love and honor, which may be
decent even if it be empty.
But, still more, there is motherhood, adding
in every way to tho stringency of tho necessi
ties already considered. The mother and chil
dren must live, mnathave care and kindness for
yeara onward into the future, must depend on
the marriage already existing, and on the hus
band and father whose is the sole responsibility
in the matter, and must look for love and honor,
in form at least and decency, if notin faot and
blessed sweetness, to the man who stands be
fore God and the law held to render these by
the most solemn of contracts. Therefore woman
cannot bat ask for, yea, insist on, this donble
contract. Religion alone wonld answer the pur
pose if it wonld enchain wandering desires and
handcuff libertine rascality. But this religion
alone cannot do, as surely as law, with religion,
can do it. The man who honestly means a re
ligious contract, cannot refu3e to woman the
added assurance of the legal contract. If any
man does not honestly mean what be promises
to enohain and handcuff him is utterly and ab
solutely neceseary, if restraint of wrong doing,
is anywhere a necessity. No other than a crimi
nal can feel his contraot with a woman as chains
and slavery.
■What, then, Mr. Tilton, do you mean by your
declaration that yon will not let the law of the
land hold yon to a contraot which yon wish to
violate? If yon mean criminal outrage, you will
find the law of the land able to hold you, or at
least able to brand you as a monster.
In tho last issne of the Golden Age, yon ar
gue the matter again. You say that “Love is
love—not liking, not friendliness, not kindne3S,
not esteem, but love—and if a man has ceased
to feel it for the woman who sits at the other
end of his breakfast table, which is the most
moral—or tho least immoral if yon will—for
him to break the chains which bind him, break
them as gently and unselfishly as he may, bnt
in some wise set himself free, put himself in a
position to live a trne life; or to wear his fet
ters uncomplainingly, silently, but invoking
meanwhile all the lightnings of heaven to do
for him what he has not the oonrage to do for
himself?"
If this were meant for the personage of a gay
rake, justifying variety “at the head of his
breakfast table, I conld understand it. You
speak of the man only, as if the woman were
not of much account in the matter. You seem
to hold her cheaper than men of free lives oom-
tmonly hold a mistress. Her honor, which yon
cannot give back, her wifehood, which rests on
her honor, her motherhood, which must con
tinue none the less for yonr discretion, and to
which you owe eternal fidelity, ihese you make
of no aooount—she merely “sits at the head of
your table,” and it is a qnestion of leaving her
tp sit there alone, or of driving her ont into the
world. And that yon call the Age of God. It
looks to me more like the time when tools were
liness in yonr whimpering appeal to the moral
law as rated the breasts of rude cave-dwellers,
who would have broken yonr head with a stone
hatchet, and served you right, if you had thus
proposed to quit your marital obligations. Yon
might easily be set down as half fool and half
knave in this plea, if it were possible to see
that in either character you are all deficient.
You sit there wishing her dead; you confess
that what you thus do ‘'has the spirit of mur
der in it.” You quote a church member who
said that it was impossible for human nature
not to cherish this mnrderons wish nnder suoh
circumstances; and then yon triumphantly ask
whether it is better to murder the woman or to
put her away. Either may be better for the
woman, but the question is what yon are bound
to do, not what is worst of tho crimes yon say
yon intend to choose between.

DELIVERED AT ATLANTA, TUESDAY, SEPT. 12, 1871.
From the Atlanta Constitution.]
R. B. Bullock, Governor, vs. J. W. Hancock
et al. Forfeiture of recognizance, from Upson.
Lo<ftraANE, O. J.—Where the p&rdon of tho
Governor was pleaded by the sureties in dis
charge of their bond for the appearance of their
principal, and the recital of facta in the par
don showed that It was not applied for by the
accused, who was out of the State, and the plea
failed to show its delivery to him and acceptance
by him, and the court sustained a demurrer to
the plea.
Held, Under the facts there was not error.
Assuming that nnder the Constitution of 1868
the Governor may exercise the pardoning power
before conviotion, (see decision of this conrt in
Dominiok vs. Jailer, Spalding county, and 29
Mis. 300,) yet pardons before conviction are
based upon the coafesaion of tho imputed guilt
by the accused, and before such pardon takes
effect it must be accepted by tbe accused, and
when the plea of pardon by sureties fails to set
np its acceptance by their principal, evidenced
by his application for the pardon and delivery
to him or his aoceptanee of it when done, the
pardon granted withont the application of the
principal, and not evinced by his acceptance of
it, is of no effeot.
Judgment affirmed.
MoOay, J., concurring upon the grounds
above stated. He is not decided as to the legal
ity of a pardon before conviction.
Wabneb, J., concurring.—I concur in the
judgment of affirmance in this case, on the
ground that the Governor had no legal power or
authority under the Constitution of this State to
grant a pardon before trial and oonviction of
the defendant for tho offense with which he was
charged.
Doyal & Nunnally, J. L Hall, for plaintiff in
error.
Smith & Alexander, L.B. Anderson, Solicitor
General, contra.
Scott, Bondurant and Adams vs. W. A. Fat-
rick. Garnishment from Fniton.
MoOay, J.—1. When a suit war brought in a
justice’s court for an amount over fifty dollars
and a summons of garnishment isaned to a
debtor of the defendant requiring him to appear
and answer on the day fixed for the trial of the
original suit, ahd the garnishee failed to answer
on that day:
2. Held, That as by section 3228 of the Code
final judgment cannot go against the garnishee
until a term subsequent to that at which he is
required to answer, it is the doty of the magis
trate to continue the proceeding against the
garnishee, by formal entry on his docket, to a
snbseqnent day, not less remote than the num
ber of days required by law for tho service of
tho original summons against the defendant in
the suit, and any judgment against the gar
nishee, before the day to whioh the case is eon-
tinned, is illegal.
2. When a certiorari has been sanctioned bnt
no notice, in writing, has been given to the op'
posite parly of tho samo ten days before the
term to whioh the certiorari is returnable; but
It is in writing agreed between the parties that
the decision of the court upon the points made
in the certiorari shall determine certain other
oases sueiug on the same points that is sub'
stantially a waiver of the notice and an agree
ment that the certiorari shall be decided upon
its merits.
E. P. Howell for Scott, Bondurant & Go.
Hiilyer & Bro., contra.
Peek Sc Boman vs. Connally Sc Bro. Illegality,
from Fulton.
McCay, J.—The 5th section of Act 28lb, 1870,
Which authorizes a defendant in fi. fa. to deny
unde 1 : oath the plaintiffs affidavit that the taxes
due upon the debt have been paid, and provid
ing that the issue thus made shall be returned
and tried as other affidavits of illegality, stands
upon the same footing as the first and second
seotions of the act, aud is not unconstitutional.
Judgment reversed, Warner, J., dissenting.
Collier Sc Hoyt, for plaintiffs in error.
A. W. Hammond, Sc Son, contra.
E. W. Monday vs. John G. Martin. Certio
rari, from Fulton. .
MoOay, J.—When there was a certiorari from
the County Conrt which, under the Act of 18GG_
Code 297, is to be heard by the Judge of the
Superior Court in vacation or in term, as should
to him seem proper, and there was tendered to
the Judge in vacation a traverse of the answer
of the County Court Judge, and the Judge of
the Superior Court thereupon, by written order
direoted the papers and tho traverse to be
transmitted to the next term of the Superior
Court for trial:
Held, That this was a judgment of the Judge:
that the traverse should be tried by the jury,
and that while that judgment stands unreversed
it is error to dismiss the traverse and withdraw
the case from tho jury, on the ground that the
traverse was not certified by the affidavit of the
party making it.
Judgment reversed.
A. H. Colquitt vs. Mercer & deGraffenried,
Plea to the jurisdiction, from DeKalb.
MoOay, J. -1. Tho Act of , 1869, author
izing attorneys to make oath to setting up issu
able defences on suits founded on contract, does
not alter section 3410 of the Code requiring pleas
to the jurisdiction to be pleaded in person, to be
sworn to by the defendant.
2. A plea to the jurisdiction may be filed at
any time before the defendant has appeared and
pleaded to the merits, and if he haB filed a plea
to the jurisdiotion at the first term, whioh has
been stricken because not sworn to, he may, if
he has filed no plea to the merits, still file his plea
to the jurisdiction.
Judgment affirmed.
Lochrane, G. J., concurring.—I have some
doubt in tbis case as to the ruling of-the conrt
construing the act of 1869. That aot declares
“that from and after the passage of this sot, in
all civil cases founded on contract, inhere there
is nolissuable defense, and when the defendant
does Vot reside in the county in which salt is
pending, it shall sad maybe lawful for the agent
or attorney at law of each defendant to make
oath to the plea, and the same shall be as good
and sufficient as if made by the defendant him
self.”
The Constitution, section 5174, declares “the
court shall render judgment withont the verdict
of a jury in all oivil cases founded on contract
when an issuable defense is not filed on oath.”
The question is whether the limitation in the
Constitution applies to the Judge rendering the
judgment without a jury, or applies to the ohar-
aoter of tho issuable defense by limiting such
defense to be a defense to the merits.
It strikes me that the limitation is on the
court. The language is in any case founded on
contraot when no issuable defense has been filed
on oath, the court will render verdiot without
jtu-y, just as if it says in oases where an isanable
defense is filed the conrt will not render judg
ment without the intervention of a jury.
The only question, therefore, is: Is a plea to
the jurisdiotion an issuable defense ? No donbt
about its being so. If it is, the court cannot
give judgment; and if it is, tbe Attorney may
Bwear to it by tbe act of 18G9, for the aot is,
when there is an issuable defense, the Attorney-
may swear to it.
But the oouBtruction placed upon the Consti
tution is, that it means an issuable defense t*
the oontract—in other words, a plea to the "* er *
its, and an attorney, by tbe act of 18G 1 'i may
swear only to this “issuable defense' •
It is not withont doubt in my ,ulnd but that
the issuable defense contenapl***® “ 6 t ' on *
stitution is any issuable once, wvmolA wruexi
filed and verified, proYe»«^keoourts rendering
judgment, and of 1869 authorizes the
verification by ths attorney of an “issuable de
fence.” That a pl«* to **»• jurisdiction being a
plea required by law to be pleaded in error may
by this fact not come within the spirit of the
constitution, strikes my mind with reasonable
force, and for this reason while a plea to the
jurisdiction is an issnable defence, and while
attorneys may verify issuable defense and have
the Bame force as if done by the defendant in
person, by the act of 1869; still, as this oourt
has decided it not to apply to cases of pleas to
jurisdiction, I concur in the judgment.
