WHEELING WEST va SATURDAY MORNING NOVEMBER 25 1876

Judge Willard continued: Here We have
Just made solemn decision in which he
tPayne) is u party, as member Of the
Board OF State Canvassers and as Secre'
tary OF the State. II the order in thai
case-an order directed to him as we'll as
to the others on the Board-had been
obeyed, this question would not have
arisen. As the case now stands, an Incl.
dent has occurred rare IN The history o.
civilized society. Men clothed with civil
authority Of limited character, subject tc
the courts OF the land, have placed
themselves in defiance Of the highest
Court In the State Of South Carolina, and
are now jeopardizing the security Of JUS
tice and the security Of peace. They are
in an attitude Of defiance not only against
the abstract law, but against itS embodi.
ment in this Court. They have brought
political death for q moment on the
State and upon the nation. They hold
in their hands o fre.brand, and they have
applied it to the whole structure that
covers us while they are thus openly
defying the power Of this Court. We are
now grayely considering the question
OF Issuing another mandate to mem
ber Of this Board. l Icannot believe that
when these gentlemen come to consider,
when they come tonight TO ask favor and
protection OF their God, when they recall
the sanctity Of their oaths, / don't believe
they will longer resist the powers Of this
Court; this Court is clothed with majesty.
I'VE do not speak with the voice OF men, we
speak in judgment and judgment Is the
voice of God. Every legal power will
be exhausted by the Court 10 compel
from them what their conscience does not
yield, and whatever loyalty, fealty and
Justice there is in the community will be
exerled to compel by force what conscience
does not yield. In what we are doing,wha
reason have We for believing that this
order will be obcyed any more than 9TH
ers. What reason have we TO believe
that this defiance will cease. We should
take into consideration the bearing Of
this question.
The action OF this Board, in my opin.
ion, will do more to call up generous
spirit In the people, and forgetful Of par
tizenship, to cause them to unite upon
the high ground Of justice and truth,
than anything that has been done in the
history OF the country since its first
origin. Has this court any reason to be-
lieve that its process will be respected.
The court meets tomorrow at 10 A. NJ.
