THE IIOKORABLE B. II. IIII.T..
He Addresses tbe Members of tbc Legisla
ture Explaining ltis Political Conrse—
He Tells Some Facts Relating to tbo Ac
tion of the Government in Connection
Hitli tlie East Georgia Election—His Con
nection with tbo State Road Lease.
To the Members Elect of the General Assembly
of Georgia :
Because of the facts herein stated, I deem it
my duty respectfally to make directly to you
this communication:
Fending the canvass for vonr election.in 1870,
I came in possession of information which sat
isfied my mind that in the event of a decided
Democratic success in that election, an effort
wonld be made to set aside the result, if a pre
text therefor coaid be obtained. In other words,
another reconstruction of the State was to be
attempted, so far at least as to exclude from
their seats successful Democrats and the snbsti-
tion of their defeated opponents, sufficient to
change the political complexion of tho Assem
bly. I did not donbt—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 tho fixed pur
pose of an extreme faction of one patty, I greatly
feared the unnecessary and intemperate, though
doubtless patriotic zeal, of extreme men in the
Democratic party would furnish the pretext to
give this purpose success. With such a result
again fixed upon ns, I conld see no peace or
prosperity for Georgia. By such repeated move
ments in the past, our property had been de
preciated, our business paralyzed, our burdens
increased, and our hopes of recuperation post
poned and disappointed, nntil I could see noth
ing but irretrieveable ruin beyond a second
repetition. I conld imagine no higher patriotic
motive than that of averting, by honorable
means if possible, snch a catastrophe, and I un
dertook that work.
Mature reflection and oloso 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 such, and as, in their
opinion, embodying the final and permanent
results of the war, they wonld be recognized by
all the people of all parties at the North, and
that no national party conld or wonld take issne
upon them, as such results, in the Presidential
canvass of 1872. The time had thns come for
the Southern people to accept, as accomplished
facts, what they did not adopt by consent, and
obey what they conld not resist.
Thus informed and thns 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 election the address
of December 8tb, urging our people to recog
nize all tho 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
me in position to be huid in tbe sequel.
The election resulted as I anticipated. But,
)f as I feared, the actions and expressed views
of some of friends in different portions of the
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 4he elec
tion in the manner indicated above. It so hap
pened I was in a position to be informed of this
movement, and I did not shrink from the im
perative duty of meeting it. It was defeated,
and for the first time sinco the work of recon
struction began a Legislature in Georgia, as
chosen by the people, will assemble and qualify
and act. I congratulate you and the people on
this auspicious result.
I do not propose now to go into the details.
You 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 mo or by those with whom I acted,
which yon and the pnblio may not know after
yon have entered upon your duties. In some
respects the work was not pleasant, but he has
little courage 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:
The 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
gers who were actually using the provocations
to accomplish, another reconstruction, have
actually joined in unique coalition in these
slanders.
Tho second remark is, that I have heard kind
words, and witnessed a manifest readiness to
hear truth 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. But 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 exacted from either. I
did, however, in the most emphatic terms, re-
pudiate all the pretences for the fears alleged
tobe entertained of ultra measures to be adopted
by you, and I did express the opinion that your
election represented the true will of our people,
and that, in the expression of that will through
your legislation, yon would recognize and obey
the existing Constitution of the United States
as proclaimed by the authorities of the United
States, and that you would observe, respect and
protect equally all the civil and political rights
of all persons withoutregard 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 the contrary
a *>d urged, in support of their representations,
the action of the Democrats who united with
some white Republicans in excluding the colored
members from their seats in a former Legisla
ture, and tho violent utterances and alleged ac
tion of some of our leading men before and
during the election, resulting, as they insisted,
in the choice of maDy of you as the exponents
of the views and policy of these gentlemen.
I have an nndonbting faith that your wisdom
and patriotism will amply justify and vindicate
my opinion of your official action.
While; on the one hand, it is scarcely neces-
es3ary for me to say I would not, under any
circumstances, advise onr people to become
consenting parties to tho adoption of measures
dishonoring to them; so, on tho other hand, I
can never counsel continued opposition to meas
ures adopted and facts accomplished as declared
by the constilnted authorities of the govern
ment, and as submitted to by the people; espe
cially when such opposition cannot change 10-
sults, and will he regarded as manifesting a
fretful spite inimical to the government, weak
ening to onr friends, and which is always made
the occasion and excuse for continued oppres
sions upon ourselves.
This simple statement, so consistent and
manifestly reasonable, embodies all the philos
ophy of my politics under reconstruction, and
formed the confident basis of my opinion that
yon would, in good faith, recognize the Constitu
tion as it is in all your legislative function#; 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 donbt
when I issued tho address of December, that the
recognition of all the amendments, whether
regularly or irregularly made, would form com
mon ground for all parties in 1872, and the dif
ferences between parties wonld arise in the con
struction, meaning and effect of tho amend
ments. It is singular that men, claiming to bo
statesmen, should say there was no ground for
such differences. These differences aro exactly
those between removing and continuing political
disabilities upon white people; between cen
tralism and constitutionalism; between carry
ing on tbs 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 have
no donbt your action will also confirm them,
and the people of Georgia will sustain you with
a voice approaching unanimity.
There is one other subject to which I beg
permission to call your attention: I am one of
the lessees of tbe Western and Atlantic Railroad
—property of tbe State. I have 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 under 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 State.
Numberless bonds were being authorized to bo
issned, and a proposition was pending to sell
the road, with a view, jt was believed, of mak
ing nominal payment in these bonds. This
gentleman believed there was but one way to
defeat this scheme, and that was by a bill to
lease the road. I concurred earnestly in the
wisdom of that measure. It was adopted. Be
ing thus, in some degree, responsible for the
law to lease, I determined to do all in my power
to secure a good, safe and reliable leaso. While
not in all respects, as I would have preferred, I
believe tho company formed, is as good and as
safe as can bo fonnd and the rental paid is reas
onable. I believe this measure has already
saved to tho State more than one million of dol
lars. I believe it will save millions of money,
and more than millions of corruption 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 without profit to the State, but who were
taxing the people to keep it np; so, on the oth
er hand, it is well known that, for one, I hold it
snbject to the will of the true owneis, and ready
to return it when safe and propor to do so, and
tho people desire it. So now I say to yon, and
invito- your closest scrutiny and honest judg
ment in the premises.
And now I feel that oil my duties touching the
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 have done nothing to serve
party, 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 trnlh 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 the 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, and for none more
than for my slanderers, I have abided in the
faitbthat the time wonld come when jnstice
would be accorded me, and when (as I notified
them as early as December last) my detractors
wonld 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 your labors will
achieve much good for our long oppressed com
monwealth ; that all sectional bitterness will
subside; that all personal acrimony will cease;
and that the terrible revolution which has buried
so many brave men, which has destroyed so
much valuable property, which has subverted so
many valued rights, and which has broken so
many hearts and hopes, has found a final end,
I am, with high regard, yours very truly,
Bekj. H. Hell.
An Incident of the Clanton Homicide.—The
Knoxville Chronicle, of Friday, says:
While Sheriff Gossett was in pursuit of Col.
D. M. Nelson, General Clanton’s murderer, he
stopped at the house of W. B. Smith, the well
known liveryman, five miles from Knoxville,
and riding up to the fence, asked if he had seen
Dave Nelson pass down the road. Mr. Smith
replied that he had, about an hour before. Mr.
Gossett then rode on and Smith went into the
house, and in five minutes was a corpse. It is
supposed ho died from excitement, having been
in feeble health for some lime.
Cool.—Forney last Wednesday started out in
an editorial flight as follows:
The Republican party represents all that is
good and pnre in government—freedom, uni
versal rights, honesty, economy.
Here the ink froze and his pen had to be
thawed out before he could proceed.
Cotton Receipts fob Septembeb.—Daring
the month jast closed the receipts of cotton at
this point fell short of what they were for tho
same month last year, over three-fourths. Last
year the September receipts amounted to 9,362
bales. This year they only reaoh 2,212.
Loose Marital Notions Denounced.
A LETTEB TO THEODOBE TILTON BE A “ WOMAN’S
ADVOCATE.”
From the Chicago Journal, September 20.]
Deab Sib: You have recently said, in the
Golden Age: “I hold that love, and love only,
constitutes the marriage; that marriage makes
the bond, and not tho 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, nndoubtedly 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 you will hardly be
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 payiDg finally ceases.
A promise to love and honor dies when the lov
ing and honoring finally cease. The bright
honor of the promise being gone, its veracity
gone, everything that it was entirely gone, of
conrse it is gone, with ail which it created. And
that is your 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 1
I take in hand the case whioh you commonly
put, that of the man against the woman. Yon
say, “I would no more permit the law of the
land to enchain me to a woman whom I did not
love than I wonld permit the same law to hand
cuff me as a slave.” 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 you to your own 1 ree
promise and sacred contract. Have yon no
logic ? Is this a question of taking you by force
and handcuffing you to a.woman against your
will? If it is not, then there is no argument in
your comparison. Is slavery the slave’s free
and honorable contraot? If it is not, then there
is not a jot of reason in the assumed analogy.
No, Sir; this is a question of yonr 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 tho cover and form of the
bond, the religion not leaning one whit for truth
on the law, nor tho law intruding one hair’s
breadth upon the religion, bet 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 disouss.
If one wants a concubine, one or more, the
world is wide and hell thereof sufficiently ao-
cessible. Bat I assume that you mean, not that
consciously and deliberately, but good and true
marriage. Therefore, I am bound to find in
your words the declaration that you will not let
the law of tho land hold yon to your own free
and solemn contract. And your reason for re
fusing to have the form of honor 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 you to fulfill yonr con
tract, but that you want a chance to violate your
contract. You say “love should be like religion,
free from mandate by tho civil law,” and you
prophesy that “the next generation will gild
this sentiment with fine gold.” Tho sentiment
has been done in brass a sufficiently long time
to be familiar, and wonld not be mnch improved
if the next generation shonld make of it a golden
calf. I mean the sentiment of love free to vio
late contracts. You seem to invoke religion;
in fact, you invoke nothing but rascality. For
yon demand freedom to violate the religion, as
well as tho law, of marriage, to break your re
ligious promise as well as your legal. You only
care to have the law lot yon alone in order that
you may leave the woman to whom religion has
bound you.
There is but one ground which I need con-
sider here to make plain tho infamous oharacter
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
ions 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 is not honor
under any constraints of solemn promise of un
changing fidelity. But tho average decent wo
man, to whom nakedness is not necessary to the
pejfect luxury of chastity, requires, and must
always require, the strongest assurance of that
protection for her honor which only a deeply re-
igious promise of unchanging fidelity can give.
If yon do not mean to offer this in seeking a
woman in marriage, then you do not mean love
and honor, and propose a marriage which is a
swindle and an outrage. Such rascality is bnt
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, under the impulse of 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
double contract, relieious 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 onongh to speak of that. But beyond
that is her chance in life, which, on the average,
is terribly injured by tho miscarriage of a mar-
riage- relation. She can give but 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 bo
decent even if it be empty.
Bnt, still more, there is motherhood, adding
in every way to tho stringenoy of tho necessi
ties already considered. The mother and chil
dren must live, must have care and kindness for
years 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 decenoy, 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 bnt ask for, yea, insist on, thiB double
contract. Religion alone would answer the pur
pose if it would enchain wandering desires and
handcuff libertine rascality. But this religion
alone cannot do, as snrely as law, with religion,
can do it. The man who honestly means a re
ligious contract, cannot refuse to woman tbe
added assurance of the legal contract. If any
man does not honestly mean what he promises
to enchain and handcuff him is utterly and ab
solutely necessary, if restraint of wrong doing,
is anywhere a necessity. No other than a crimi
nal can feel his contract with a woman as chains
and slavery.
What, then, Mr. Tilton, do yon mean by your
declaration that yon will not let the law of the
land hold you to a contraot which you wish to
violate? If yon mean criminal outrage, yon will
find the law of the land able to hold yon, or at
least able to brand yon as a monster.
In tho last issue of the Golden Age, yon ar
gue the matter again. You say that “Love is
l 0 ye—not liking, not friendliness, not kindness,
not esteem, but love—and if a man has ceased
to feol it for the woman who sits at the other
end of his breakfast table, which i3 the most
moral—or the 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 true life; or to wear his fet
ters uncomplainingly, silently, but invoking
meanwhile all the lightnings of heaven to do
for Mm what he has not the courage to do for
himself ?”
If tMs were meant for the personage of a gay
rake, justifying variety “at the head of his
breakfast table, I conld understand it. Yon
speak of the man only, as if the woman were
not of mnch account in the matter. Yon seem
to hold her cheaper than men of free lives com-
tinonly hold a mistress. Her honor, wMch yon
cannot give baok, her wifehood, which rests on
her honor, her motherhood, wMch most con
tinue none the less for yonr discretion, and to
which you owe eternal fidelity, these you make
of no account—she merely “sits at the head of
your table,” and it is a question of leaving her
tg sit there alone, or of driving her out into the
world. And that you 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 rnled the breasts of rude cave-dwellers,
who would have broken your head with a stone
hatchet, and served yon right, if you had thus
proposed to quit your marital obligations. You
might easily be set down as half fool and half
knave in this plea, If it were possible to see
that in either character yon 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 murderous wish under snoh
circumstances; and then you triumphantly ask
whether it is better to murder tho woman or to
put her away. Either may be better for the
woman, but the question is what you are bound
to do, not what is worst of tho crimes you say
yon intend to choose between.

DELXVEBED AT ATLANTA, TUESDAY, SEPT. 12, 1871.
From the Atlanta Constitution.]
R. B. Bollock, Governor, vs. J, W. Hancock
et al. Forfeiture of recognizance, from Upson.
LoAbane, O. J.—Where the pardon of the
Governor was pleaded by the sureties in dis-
charge of their bond for tho appearance of their
principal, and the recital of facts 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 under the Constitution of 1868
the Governor may exercise the pardoning power
before conviction, (see decision of tMs court in
Dominick vs. Jailer, Spalding county, and 29
Mis. 300,) yet pardons before conviction are
based upon tne Confession of Aba imputed f-uilt
by the aconsed, and before such pardon takes
effect it must be accepted by tbe accused, and
when the plea of pardon by sureties fails to set
up its acceptance by their prinoipal, evidenced
by Ms application for the pardon and delivery
to him or his acceptance of it when done, the
pardon granted without the application of the
prinoipal, and not evinced by his acceptance of
; t, is of no effect.
Judgment affirmed.
MoOay, J., concurring upon the grounds
above stated. He is not decided as to the .legal
ity of a pardon before conviction.
Wabnee, J., concurring.—I concur in the
judgment of affirmance in tMs 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 conviction 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, Bondnrant and Adams vs. W. A. Pat
rick. Garnishment from Fulton.
MoOay, J.—1. When a suit war brought in a
justice’s court for an amonnt over fifty dollars
and a summons of garnishment issned to a
debtor of the defendant requiring him to appear
and answer on tho 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 tbd magis
trate to continue the proceeding against the
garnishee, by formal entry on hi3 docket, to a
subsequent day, not less remote than the num
ber of days required by law for the service of
the original summons against the defendant in
the suit, and any judgment against the gar.
nisheo, before the day to whioh the case is con
tinued, is illegal.
When a certiorari has been sanctioned bnt
no notice, in writing, has been given to the op'
posite party of tho satno 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 sueing on the same points that is sub
stantially a waiver of the notice and an agree
ment that the certiorari shall be deoided upon
its merits.
E. P. Howell for Scott, Bondnrant & Co.
Hillyer & Bro., contra.
Peck & Bomanvs. Connolly & Bro. Illegality,
from Fulton.
MoCay, J.—The 5th section of Act 28lb, 1870,
which anthorizes a defendant in fi. fa. to deny
under oath the plaintiff’s affidavit that the taxes
due upon the debt have been paid, and provid
ing that the issue thns made shall be returned
and tried as other affidavits of illegality, stands
npon the same footing as the first and second
sections of the act, and i3 not nnconstitntional.
Judgment reversed, Warner, J., dissenting.
Collier & Hoyt, for plaintiffs in error.
A. Hammond, & Son, contra.
E. W. Monday vs. John G. Martin. Certio
rari, from Fulton. .
MoOay, J.—When there was a certiorari from
the Connty Court which, under the Act of 1866,
Code 297, is to be heard by the Judge of the
Superior Court in vacation or in term, as shonld
to Mm 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
directed the papers and tho traverse to be
transmitted to tho next term of the Superior
Court for trial:
Held, That tMs was a judgment of the Judge;
that the traverse should be tried by the jury,
and that while that judgmentstands unreversed,
it is error to dismiss the traverse and withdraw
the case from tho jury, on the ground that the
traverse wa3 not certified by the affidavit of the
party making it.
Judgment reversed.
A. H. Colquitt vs. Mercer & deGraffenried.
Plea to the jurisdiction, from DeKalb.
McOay, J. —1. The Act of , 1869, author
izing attorneys to make oath to setting np 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 tho jurisdiction may be filed at
any time before the defendant has appeared and
pleaded to tho merits, and if ho has filed a plea
to the jnriBdiotion at the first term, which 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.
Lochbane, C. J., concurring.—I have some
doubt in this case as to tho ruling of the court
construing the act of 1869. That act declares
“that from and after tho passage of thjs act, in
all ctoil cases founded on contract, Where there
is nofissuable defense, and when the defendant
does not reside in the county in which suit is
pendmg, it shall and 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 without the verdict
of a jury in all oivil cases founded on contract
when an issnable 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 char
acter of the issuable defense by limiting snch
defense to be a defense to the merits.
It strikes me that the limitation i3 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 a
jury, just as if it says in eases where an issnable
defense is filed tho conrt will not render judg
ment without the intervention of a jury.
The only question, therefore, is: Is a plea to
the jurisdiction an issuable defense ? No donbt
about its being so. If it is, the court cannot
give judgment; and if it is, the Attorney may
swear to it by tbe act of 1869, for the act is,
when there is an issuable defense, the Attorney
may swear to it.
Bnt the construction placed npon the Consti
tution is, that it means an issuable defense t*
the contract—in other words, a plea to the »“ er '
its, and an attorney, by the act of 18p» ma 7
swear only to this “issuable defense' •
It is not without donbt in my “Ut that
the issnable defense contempt®® PjF_tne Con
stitution is any issuable d»J ence » whioh when
filed and verified, prove®* 8 ILe courts rendenng
judgment, and the a»‘ of 1869 authorizes the
verification by the attorney of an “issnable de
fence.” That» plea to the 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 wMle a plea to the
jurisdiction is an issnable defence, and while
attorneys may verify issnable defense and have
the same force as if done by the defendant in
person, by the act of 1869; still, ss tMs conrt
has decided it not to apply to cases of pTeas to
jurisdiction, I ooncur in the judgment.
