HA 11..

As our Judges have been recentlyrather severely criticised bv the pressof the State for so readily grantingbail to prisoners charged with murder,in justice to them and for theinformation of the press and the people,I propose to review the lawbearing upon this branch of my subject.An extended review cannotbe given in the space of a newspaperarticle, and 1 must, therefore, beI >ri«»f.

TIid Statute of Jilst Charles tlioSecond, known as tlio Habeas (\>rpnsAct, became tlio law of tlio liritisliColonies, was specially adopted,as they becamo independent States,and is now, with perhaps sliolit alteration,the law of all the States of,this Union. Under this statuteevery one committed under u criminaleliuroo is entitled to this writ,unless he or she stand committed"for felony (the punishment of whichis death,) or treason, plainly expressedin the warrant of commitment,or unless charged as accessorybefore the fact to treason or felony(the punishment of which is death,)or with suspicion thereof, or unlesschajred with suspicion of treasonor felony, (which felony is putnishalilewith death,) which shall beplainly expressed in tlio warrant ofcommitment

It will be perceived that underthis Act as now of force in this State,and as it has been from the bejrininjrof our existence as a ('oininon wealth,one committed for murder plainlyand distinctly expressen in the wajriuitcannot demand even tlie writof luiboas corpus as a mutter of righttnucJi less can ho demand hail.

liy virtue, however, <>f llieir ^enoraljurisdiction and common lawpowers, the .Indies of old ICngland,and this country as woll, could grantthe writ as a matter of grace in easesof treason or capital felony, and afterhearing nil the facts of the case,could trrant or refuse hail acconlinjrto the circumstances of the case made!>v the acoused.

In the past history of tliis State,and 1 presume of every State of theUnion, to persons charged with eapi-tal felonies .Indies have never deniedthe writ of habeas corpus, amihave rarely refused hail, hut havegranted it in such amount as the uatlire o f 4l i«» ciKit rmiinrm] ItI

be borne in 111i11< 1 that the object ofcommitting to prison one accused of'crime is to have liim present in Courtto answer to the charge and to abidethe judgement of the Court. It.isnot to punish him. That only followsconviction. Until then ho ispresumed to be innocent, and neith-er the law nor humanity calls for!punishment in advance of conviction.Yet, if to persons charged with capitalfelony bail is to be denied in ad-vanco of bill found, and the accusedis not to be released from his dun-goon until acquitted by the verdictof a petit jury, many innocent personswould lie wrongfully and cruel-I v punished. Hence in such casesthe power and discretion of grantingthe writ of habeas corpus and ofawarding or refusing bail is lodgedin the Judges. That this power anddiscretion is at times abused or improperlyexercised is true. Human,judgement is not infallible; and we,must expect that mistakes will be,made in the matter of bail as in othermatters of judicial cognizance.

Kor more than two hundred yearsEnglish speaking people have enjoyedthe «rreat blessings of the Habeas!o nfCorpus Act, and the inestimable

privileges of bail at tin- hands of an

enlightened judiciary undercharges!of capital felonies, as well as of lessercrimes. To take u step backward inthis respect a liberty-loving peoplewill not. In fact the Constitution ofA. I). 18SC) goes much further in secunntrthe riidit to bail than does theD n

statutes of Charles, and by necessaryimplication enlarges the riyht to thewrit of habeas corpus.

Section 1(1, of Article I, reads asfollows: "All persons shall, beforeconviction, be bailable by sufficientsureties, except for capital olYonees,when the proof is evident or the presumptiongreat, and excessive bailshall not in any case bo noquirod, nor

corporal punishment inflicted."As I interpret this article, by necessaryimplication, it grants to the

citizen the right to the writ of habeasnAW14.fl :i r ii wijinn, ill i;u!»U8 1>I ClipiUll IHlOliy ilSwell as iii eases of lessor crimes. Ido not see how a Judge can lawfullyrofu:o the writ in any ease.

The Constitution overrides thestatute, and by necessary implication,renders the granting of the writ inall cwses no longer discretionary withthe Judge. A party charged withmurder can now demand the writ asa matter of ri<fht: and having thus/ rybeen brought before the Judge hois entitled to bail, unless the proofof guilt be evident, or the presumptiongreat. If such bo the proof or

V*

/

presumption, ho is not bailable as nmatter of rijrlit, but it then rests, asit always has, in the liscretion of the'Judge. To one evidently guilty, a'Judge, hi the exorcise of a sounddiscretion, should not grant bail.!Whore the guilt of the accused isclear the only safe and prudentcourse is to refuse bail. Kxtremocases mu\ and do occur whoro, althoughclearly iruiltv, there is yet no

probability of flight, and bail may| bo saiolv-granted. The risk, howov;or, should not lie taken.Reviewing tlio course of our judicialdecisions, and the established

practice of the eminent .Judges c»fthe State who have passed away, thefact appears that what is now a constitutionalenactment is in exact no-corn wiiii meir tiintorm iclininistra'lion of the law. In cases of capitalfelony lliey never denied the writ ofhabeas corpus, and yet could haverefused it.Now it seems it cannot be refused.

They never refused bail to one

charged with a capital felony againstwhom the proof of guilt was slioht.Now it cannot be refused. Theyoften refused bail to those a*>ainstnuliimi tln> .... # I...

prosumptroii.( )nr ('(institution suggests tlmt it

should bo so rofusod, although itdoes not deprive the Judges of thiseoiiiinoti law power t«> grant bail inany ease. As I remarked before,tlie sole object of imprisonment beforeconviction is not the punishmentof the accused, but to secure hisforthcoming to stand his trial and toabide the punishment to bo indictedin case he should be convicted.Where the punishment is death,

the guilt\ m:m is prone to fly, andwill not hesitate at the thought ofpecuniary forfeiture, and hence thedanger in admitting him to bail.

(Experience, however, has taughtthe people of (England and of thiscountry that no definite restrictionupon the matter of bail before trial'can safely be laid down by the Leg1islaturo. A discretion must belodged in the .Judges, and thev mustbe confided in not to abuse it. Accordingto the circumstances of eachcase Imil is to ho granted or denied,lbit just here arises the sore trial ofthe Judge, and the clear demonstrationof the vital importance of coroner'sinquest. If that work ho well(lone, t he .1 udtro is trre:illv iiiitoil Mil

i ^ jreaehin«r a just conclusion. 11o must1)0 controlled l>V tli«> testimony submitted.This, consists, on behalf ofthe Stile, of the evidence jriven atthe inquest. Rarely any other isever submitted. I low defective andunsatisfactory this ordinarily is, Ispoke « f in my lirst article, and willnot aeain dwell upon it hero. It isenough t<» know that it usually consistsof tho loose, careless and imperfectexamination oT onlv a few of thewitnesses who mijrht be procured,and the testimony of those wlio areexamined is often very imperfectlyrecorded.The ease is far different iu behalf

of the accused. Kvery item of testimonyavailable ho and his counselprocure. This is carefully crotton upiu the shape of allidavits with a specialview not only to contradict thetestimony taken at the inquest, butto na> further and to build up a caseof homicide in self-defence, it' it happenthat the dood was done in view,.F Liu r,.u..... .... <... .lira IUHI.1I-IUV/II, wi, ill UlSCcrothomicide, to show an alibi.

At tho hearing of the applicationfor bail, it often happens that theState is not represented, the solicitorof the circuit being unavoidably absentupon pressing official duty, or,if present, he knows nothing of thefacts of the case except what he canhastily gather from the meagre testimonyfurnished by the coroner. Theconsequence is that the prisoner usuallygets the advantage in the proofsubmitted, and is admitted to bail,because, after weighing the evidencetho Judge is constrained to decidethat the proof of guilt is not evidentnor the presumption great. Andthus it happens that in this, his lirsttrial of strength with the law, a reallyifuiltv man achieves his lirst triv*

i*iumph in the race for liberty and life.Kllicient discharge of duty on thepart of the coroner would have foiledhim.

I am induced just hern to remarkthat the facility with which a defendantcan procure strong and highsoundingaffidavits in his behalf isgreatly aided by the fact that affidavitis by many too lightly regarded,and many of them are not affidavitsat all, the affiants not having Ibeen sworn. 1 have been surprisedto find a misunderstanding of thismatter even by attorneys at law.An affidavit is a statement made underoath, reducing to writing andsubscribed by tho affiant in the presenceof the officer administering theoath, who adds thereto the jurat orcertificate. It is no affidavit unlessthe party subscribing it, in solemnform of law, swears to it. This hedoes not do by simply subscribing it.The oath must be taken just as onois sworn in a Court of justice.Imean as formally.A conviction for perjury could not

\>v ncciiri'ii upon otio out of every tonaffidavits taken in this State, howeverfalse, simply because no oathis actually administered, but the socalledaffiant morelv subscribes <hisname to a writron statement, whichan officer certifies is swpru ^s>yliotjin fact it was no»|un>* 'pon a trialperjury, this fact would be sure tobo made to appear, and the defendantwould bo acquitted. The formof the oath is iimnatctial, so it borecognized by law; nevertheless,there must bo an oath duly administeredto constitute an affidavit; but,surprising' to say, as generally practicedand popularly interpreted, an

f

«

affidavit is a mere statement in wri-1ting, having the form of an oath andsubscribed by tho would-be affiant.

The consequence is that many ofthose written statements are readily!procured, which would not bo doneif the subscriber fully understood andfully appreciated what ho was doingTo correct tho growing evil of rock-loss statomonts in the form of alii-davits, it ini«r111 bo well for tho boa|islaturo to dotine what an atlidavit is,!and to proscribe a punishment forofficers who fail to take theni'ii) clueform. I will have something to sayin tho course of this review upon thoirrowinj/ evil of false sweariinr.

Si'Aim'aniii"K(S, September II.Last nioht the Holiness Associationof South Carolina convened here.The larjre tent presents a most incitingand attractive appearance thiswarm weather and at ni<dit it is wellilluminated, maUiuir a more cheerfulappearance than most of our churches.There were ubou< two hundred personspresent at the opening hour, butitiuw Ml)<nil«r ill HI Willi III «r il tew 11)111utesothers came. It was plain thatmany caino to see what sort of showwas to ho given nn«l*»r the big tout.A consiclorahh' crowd reclined onthe grass some distance from thotent as though thov wanted to be inthe neighborhood, but not too close.The Hev. I. A. 1'orter, of the

.South Carolina Conferoneo, called;the association to order, and after theusual preliminary services preacheda plain, impressive sermon on "Selfexaminationand self-improvement."It was what might he termed a good,solid, sensible sermon, suited toevery one. At the close of his sermonMr. 1'orter announced that thiswas the usual fall meeting of theHoliness Association, and tmit thovcame not to cause dissensions amongthe churches, bill to build up andstrengthen the membership ami bring'people to a higher plane of spiritualenjoyment and privileges. There)were twontv-five hundred people inthe State who believed in the doctrineof sanctilicat'on, and the meet-m<rs they had hold had restored har-1mony to churches and families thatwere torn asunder bv <lissensions.They sought to do only j»ood. liethen called for the brethren to riseand jdve a word of testimony as totheir certain knowledge of pardonand acceptance by (toil.

Seven or eijrht persons responded,h'ue of them oave an account of themanner and time of his receiving the"second blessinif." Another one </otup and stated that he could not asssentto the doctrine of entire sanctilicationin this life, and ho was getting1ready to oive the reasons for hisopinion, when Mr. Porter said: "Mvjbrother, we only want just a word ofexperience, your testimony as towhat (tod has done for you." Tothis the brother replied: "Well. Irockon I enjoy about as much religionas the commonality of folks."'Three persons, on invitation, askedan interest in the prayers of the association.On this, the lirst evening; of the1

t o

meeting, everything was quiet andthere was no extravagant talk or conduct.'They have had services during;the clav under the tent and ar> j

street meeting near the Opera-house!late in the afternoon. The attendancehas not been large to-day. I)r.Blossor, of Georgia, is here; also, theDev. Mr. Jarrell, and they expectedMr. Pepper, of Philadelphia thisevening.The weather is quite warm, the

thermometer going to 8(1 decrees inthe shade. It causes cotton to openvery lapidly, and our farmers seem

disposed to soil. It was bringing 9cents to-day, which is claimed by thecotton buyers to be above the market;but the farmers will stand itwithout much grumbling.

The following incident, which isgiven mo by Dr. White, not oldy illustratesStonewall Jackson's ('litis-tian (character, 1 mt jrives the kev-noteJ

to his whole life.Not very long after his con lection

with the church the pastor preacheda sermon on prayer, in which it wasurm:d that o'ov/ male </ii/rch f/irmherought, when occasion required, tolead in public prayer. The next day,a faithful elder of the ehurch nsked''Major Jackson" what he thought ofthe doctrine of the sermon, ami if liewas not convinced that he ought toload in public prayer. "I do notthink it my duty," he replied, and went.011 to assign as his reason that ho hesitatedin his speech to such an extentwhen excited that ho did not thinkhe could "pray to edification" 'n public."Have you made tho matter a

subject of secret prayer?" prosistedtho elder. "No, sir; but I will do so

to-night." Tho elder then advisedhim also to consult his pastor. and hewent ut onco to Dr. White's studyand wont over with hi in the arrru-incuts and passages of Scripture by Iwhich ho supported his position. Tiionext day the elder saw him walkingrapidly l>v his place of business, andfearing that ho wished to avoid thesubject of their previous con versation he called him hack and asked."Have you made that matter a subjectof prayerful investigation, inajoiv>""Yes, sir, and 1 was just on

my way to ask Dr. Wlulo to call on

mo to lead in pray'ir meeting to- jnight." Soon after ho was called

f

on, and made such a stammering of-1fort, that the pastor felt badly forihim, and ho was greatly mortified,Several subsequent efforts resulted inlittle bettor results, and the pastorbegan to think that, perhaps, MajorJackson was right that ho reallycould not "pray to edification," andthat ho was, perhaps, an exception tothe general rule that male membersof the church ought to lead in publicprayer. Accordingly he said to hintono day; "Major, wo do not wish tomake our prnyer-moo'injrs uncoin-fortable to you, ami if you pro for it,I will not call on vou to load in prayern<pun."The prompt ami emphatic reply

was: "Mv comfort has nothing inthe world do with it, sir; vou, as mv
