Public ONCE Not Property.

1T must be Omitted that the view that
public Office is not property has been
generally entertained in this country"
Quoting Butler vs.. the United States
and Crenshaw VS.. the United States the
chief Justice continued:
The decisions are numerous. to the
effect that the public offices are mere
agencies or trusts, and not property, as
such. nor are the salary and emolu-

For more than 100 years the constitu-
ton of Kentucky has provided that con-
tested elections for governor and lieuten-
ant governor shall be determined by the
general assembly. In 1893. by a committee
to be selected from both houses of the
general assembly and framed and regu-
lated in such manner as shall be directed
by law; since 1850, by both houses of the
general assembly according to such regu-
lations as may be established by law
1.-The highest court of the state has often
held, and in the present case has again
declared, that under their constitutional
provisions the power of the general as
sembly to determine the result Is exclusive
and that its decision is not open to judi
cial review. authorities quoted here)
THE statute enacted for the purpose OF
carrying the provision of the constitution
into effect has been in existence, in SUBJ
stance. since 1879. and many states have
similar constitutional provisions and SINH
lar statutes.
I'VE do not understand this statute to
be objected to as in any manner obnoxious
TO constitutional objection, but that the
plaintiff in error complains of the action
of the general assembly under the statute
under the judgment of the tate courts de-
clining to disturb that action"

Grounds of Action Reviewed.

The chief justice then reviewed the cases
OF Boyd VS. Thayer. Wilson VS.. North Caro-
lima, Junard VS.. Louisiana and Foster VS..
Arkansas, and continued:
The grounds on which our jurisdiction
Is sought to be maintained in the present
case are set forth in the errors assigned
TO the effect, in substance:
"First-That the action of the general
assembly in the matter of these contests
deprives plaintiff in error of their offices
without due process of law.
"Second-That the action of the general
assembly deprives the people of Kentucky
OF the right to choose their own repre-
sentatives. secured by the guarantee of
the federal constitution of n republican
form of government to every state, and
deprives them OF their political liberty
without due process of law.

without due process of law, We may not
inquire whether the Legislature or judicial
authorities of a state have, without due
process of law, ousted one lawfully elected
and holding the office Of governor for a
fixed term, with a salary which cannot be
diminished under such term, and put into
his place one whom the people have said

tanning to that high position.

Justice Brewer Dissents.

Justice Brewer also expressed views
antagonistic to those of the court on the
point of office as property. He also held
the view that the United States courts
were not without jurisdiction, but con-
tended that the decision of the Ken
lucky courts should be affirmed instead
of Diminishing the writ of error.
He agreed with the court of appeals
of Kentucky that upon the award of the
assembly no other judgment can be en-
tered than that which sustains it.
But ii seems that under our system
of government the right of a citizen to
exercise a state Office to which he has
been lawfully elected by the people may.
so far as the constitution of the United
States is concerned, be taken from him
by the arbitrary action of state legis-
lature in utter disregard of the principle
that Anglo-Saxon freemen have for CEN
turtles deemed to be essential to the re-
quirement of due process of law. / can
not assent to this Interpretation of the
fourteenth amendment"

A cow THIEF CAUGHT.
A Young Negro Relieves Member of
His Lodge of Heifer.

A COW thief was arrested here yester-
day afternoon and sent to Cary for trial
He was young negro named Levy Cot
ten. He gave his age as 49, The
cow was the property of another negro
named William Jones. Both of the men
live at Cary and Gotten says he and
Jones are members of the same lodge
When Gotten reached the city with
his COW he drove her around into the
eastern suburb to the house of a negro
butcher named William Dancy. Now
Dancy has a stall in the market and
the fact that the fellow should bring
the COW to his house instead of to his
place of business in the market excited
his suspicion. So he questioned the ne
gro, who gave his name as Jim Nc
Lean: said he lived on the other side
of Holly Springs and that his father
came with him and brought a load of
wood. AS Holly Springs is eighteen
miles away Dancy reasoned that this
tale could hardly be tru5. Then he
asked the negro what the COW was
worth. He told him S1S. Dancy
would not pay it. Then the fellow sail
he'd take S14, then $40. This confirmed
Dancy's suspicious. He informed the
police and Gotten was arrested.
When he got to tie station house he
told his real name and confessed the
theft. Thereupon Chief Mullen tele-
phoned to Cary and found that William
Jones' COW was missing and that she
answered to the description given. But
until the telephone message was receiv-
ed Jones did not know that his COW
was stolen.
The negro was taken back to Cary
for trial

THE LICENSE WAS STOLEN.
To Make Sure, the Groom Brought the
Bride With Him
(Greenville Reflector.)


Not many weeks ago Register of Deeds
Moore issued marriage license for Mr..
James w. Sutton to wed Miss Annie
Cooley both the parties living in Chicod
township. The groom-elect took the Ii
cense home to have ready for the we'd
ding, but somebody who wanted to stop
the marriage stole the document from
him before the day arrived, and the mar
riage could not take place on schedule
time.
Not to be outdone in the matter, but
still not wishing to run the risk of hav-
ing another license stolen from him, Mr..
Sutton came to Greenville today and
brought his bride-elect with him, several
friends also accompanying them They
went to the office of the Register and
applied in person for the license. This
being procured they called on Justice
of the Peace II. Harding to make them
man and wife.
BY this time the number had grown
so large that none of the offices in the
building would accommodate them, so
the crowd repaired to the court room UP
stairs where the ceremony was duly
performed. There We're fully hundred
people present to witness the marriage.
