Bill of Rights Violated.

Bill or Rights violated.
In holding the act OF the Legislature
in question unconstitutional, the court
has disowned any intention thereby to
reflect upon the members of the General
Assembly. With the same disayowal Of
any reflection upon my brethren, but
with an equal right to my opinion. /
think the Legislature has not acted UNI
constitutionlly or beyond its powers, as
construed by the highest court in the
land, but that, on the contrary, it is this
court which has acted unconstitntionally
and exceeded the powers confided to it,
and in so doing has violated four sep
arate sections Of the guarantee given in
the Bill of Rights.
When a court, acting within its iuris
diction, renders an erroronous Judgment,
it must still be obeyed, but when it acts
beyond its jurisdiction and in violation
Of the limits placed upon it by the con-
stituti0n its DEGREES are null and void
and are no protection to any one who
acts under them. Suppose a court should
give direct judgment against the State
for a sum of money, would the Treasurer
be safe in paying it? Whether those
who have intruded into offices which the
Legislature in the exercise of its just
powers has confided to others. have
made themselves liable to removal by
Impeachment, and whether the Treasur-
or who shall pay salaries to others than
those the Legislature has directed him
to pay shall be held liable to account
for the money paid out contrary to legs-
lative enactment, is matter, in my
opinion, for the Legislature to determine;
for even Hole VS.. Henderson holds that
the Legislature can direct payment of
salary to any one, and can withhold
payment at its will.
The rights guaranteed the people by
their Bill of Rights were won by our an
cestors after long years of suffering and
sacrifice. These safe guards cannot be
lightly abandoned. In North Carolina,
as in England, it must be settled wheth-
er the people can place their will upon
the statute book and have it executed
or whether there is ''any authority
which can stop the execution of the
laws" The question is a most grave and
serious one, reaching in it's consequences
far beyond the present litigation and
the parties to it, for it involves from
top 10 bottom the right of popular self
government The vast Importance OF
the principle involved, and respect FOL
my oath of office and fidelity to- the trust
confided to me by the people have com

meath the dignity of the title of "ath-
