Death of Maj. Petty.

Especial to News and Observer
Pitrsboro, ~ c., March 2.--Maior Robt.
e. Petty, who for long time was one OF
the leading Cry goods merchants OF Raj
eigh, died last night at the home OF Mr..
j. r. Ferran three miles east Of Pitts
boro.
lie had been in declining health for
several vears and has spent the last hve
years on a farm Major Petty. was about
Sc Years old, and was as honest aud up
right a man as ever lived in Chatham.
He served four years in the Confederate
army surrendcring at AppomartOx Court
House in April 1863.
il is a fact told by his comrades that
at the surrender at ADponattoX that
some Yankee soldiers were guying him
FOR surrendering whercupon he made the
proposition to the Yankee officer that
he could pick out 80 OF his best 1nen and
let him take % Confederates and he WOULD
whip him and his men as fair fight.

caffy out q

one believes that the court in issuing
that writ, was carrying out the wishes
OF the Legislature of 1892, and no one
doubts but that it was carrying out the
will of q majority OF the court in the mat
ter under consideration.
Cotton -. Ellis has been cited as au-
thority Tor the right Of the court to issue
these writs But in that case there was
only an alternative mandamus. which is
an order to show cause why a perempto
ry mandamus should moi issue. In th'
case OF White IS. the Auditor. suppose
that course had been taken and an alter
native mandamus had been issued to the
Auditor to show cause why the claim was
moi paid His complete answer to thar
would have been that the Legislature had
ordered that this money should not be
paid: and then the peremptory mandamus
could not have been issued. The coDsti-
tuition in two sections is plain and eXpli-
cit that no money shall be paid out OF the
State Treasury without an order from
the LEGISLATURE; and not only was there
no order IN the acts OF 1899 for the pay
ment to White, but specific order that
it should not be paid
Now if these men have violated The Con-
stitution and laws OF the State. what are
we 10 do? Are you aware that there is
no other mower but the Legislature that
can n9each them?
Must we assume the responsibility Of
saving that they have committed acts
worthy of impeachment and al the same
time saw that we will not inpeach them?
Shall we publish to the world that we

avs Ct rhe state. and then say by our
vote that we endorse and approve thaf
course e. conduct?
Suppose we were to over look this gross
violation of judicial propriety, and en-
boldened by the.r escape from an inyesu-
cation tbev wOald again assume the
prerogatiye OF the Legislature and y'o-
late the Constitution OF the state no"

appropriate a specific amount for his sal
airy. then they would have acted strictly
within the expressed limits of the Con-
stitution and this resolution would not
be before us for consideration.
For the offence is not necessarily be-
cause they held as unconstitutional the
acts of 1899. but because they ordered
money 10 be paid out OF the State Treas
urer in plain violation of the letter and
spirit of the Constitution and contrary 70
the will OF the General Assembly as eX-
pressed in acts and words written and
unwritten
The gentleman from Martin took the
ground that whenever a court decides
that a certain amount belongs to GER
tain person, the peremptory writ of man
damus could always be invoked TO compel
the payment; and he cited the case OF
Lutterloh VS.. Commissioners in support
OF that position l am glad he took that
position and cited that authority because
] am thereby enabled more clearly to
point out the distinction between writ
OF mandamus issued against a county off,
Ger and one issued against the Treasury
OF the State. Lutterloh VS.. Commission
ers was a suit against the county, and
TIE COuIlS nlfilS duJuulcdtBu the Cldiuu,
there was nothing TO prevent the issuing
of the writ against the county treasurer
TO compel the payment, or against the
commissioners compelling them 10 levy
tax sufficient for that purpose. But in
claims against the State an entirely diff
ferent principle is involved.
Under our Constitution Art. 4, section
and Art IA, the Treasurer
OF the State of North Carolina never be-
comes a ministerial officer until the Leg
islature or the Constitution appropriates
a specific sum to certain person desig-
mated by name or by position, and until
he is ordered by The Leeisla-
ture, directly or Indirectly 10
pay that specific sum TO chat particular
person. He then becomes a ministerial
officer. That is a legal proposition that
no lawyer will dispute; aud there is
flowing from this another principle of law
equally sound. which is ANNOUNCED ly ono.
Of our best judges in a case decided
in the United States Supreme court
as follows: THE court should nev-
CT issue a writ of mandamus TO cttry
out the will of the court. bat only to
carry out the will OF the Legislature" No

There can be no ignorance, nor mistake

Now notice the trend of events in the
White case. The opinion was rendered
May %. 1890, the Legislature met June
~, and a committee was sent 10 ask the
the Treasurer. ii he had disregarded its
mandate in regard to the payment OF
money TO White. The Treasurer replied
he had not When the court met the last
OF September the Attorney for plaintiff
applied, 10 the court for a mandamus
The court inquired II he had given notice
10 the Treasurer He replied no, and the
mandamus was refused. In short time
he again appeared with the attorney for
the Treasurer. and stated that the notice
vas waived. The court then inquired If
aftidayits had been filed and upon find
ing they had not again stated the man
damus would not be issued, and | here call
your attention to the fact that no aftda-
wits were ever filed
On Friday October II or II Col. Kenan
Clerk Of the Supreme Court applied TO the
court in conference for Instructions as to
whether to issue the writ OF mandamus,
Justice Douglas was nom n-committal, Judge

with an opinion dissenting from the posi-

clerk had copies of this protest and dis

On the night of that day he went 10 the

court for mandamus against the Treasur
