In the Asylum Cases the Judge Gave His Assent to the Doctrine in Hoke v. Henderson Change of Mind Quite Recent. Lex, in Morning-Post.- In recent years in this country, inutterings of anarchy have been heard. They have ben generally eoulined to a reckless class, and to the crazy eiies of irresponsible kinetics. Now, for the first time in this .oun ry aistorv. it disi . i net I v ema- naies i'rom the judicial I'eiich. One of the judges of the highest court of a great State openly, flagrantly and recklessly llies the Hag of law- lessness, of resistance to constitu tional authority, of revolution, of destruction to all order and all law, and of a relapse . to that condition ol barbarism to express which there ; is in our language just one word j Anarchy. In orderly and law- j governed t-hisi.r w'j i t-, e their cv-irmuniues, X!.e a:iar-1 j attempt" to put in prac- j deSiructive doctrines are stnt to the prison or to the hang- j man. The State ci Illinois so dealt with them some years ago. This example seems not to have been successful when we see their doc trines advocated by a judge ot the highest court of the realm. Is this language too strong? Let us see. Judge Clark distinctly says that the Supreme Court has "acted un- I constitutionally;" that it has "ex iceeded the powers confided to it;" that it has "violated four separate ! sections of the Bill of Rights;" that j ; it has net merely rendered an "er-1 Nroneous judgment, which if it were that, wouia hae to be ot-eyea, butj W,s preaching up Hoke vs. Ilen that it has gone beyond its juris-1 uersou and setting aside the asylum diction and has violated the limits ! legislation as being under the case put upon it by the constitution," unconstitutional, he held that the so that its decree is null and void Revenue Act was unconstitutional and "gives no protection to anyone j and void in so far as it violated the who acts under it. Here is the hiehest court of the State, determining a case over the subject matter of which it has juris diction. The court has determined it. Four of the judges concur in that determination. The fifth has a right to say and does say that the determination is erroneous, that the court has erred, that it has mistaken the law, that it should have decided the other way. In this contention the dissenting judge j may or may not be right. But if the judgment of the court is not to be obeyed, then we have an end ol government by law. The red hand of revolution and anarchy has got its grip upon us, and the only law is "The good old rule, the simple plan. That he shall take who has the power, And he shall keep who can." And there is a judge of the State's highest court, inviting resistance to its decrees. Says he, this decree is "no protection to any oue who acts under it." So, it follows, the defendant is not bound to obey it. He may shoot down the marshal ol the court, or the sheriff wiih the judieh.l writ in his hands; and, if there be meaning in words ema nating from a mind insane with selfish ambition and recklessly riot ing in the hope of placating a po litical party which it lias been so recently scheming to ciec-troy, tne conclusion is irresistible that violent resistance to the court's decree is strongly invited. Judge Clark has discovered that I judges like Rufiin, Daniel and Gas ton were wrong in. their decision in Hoke vs. Henderson. So they may have been. Judges are not infalli ble. But the general concensus of the legal mind of to day is that in ; all qualities which go to make great lawyers and gieat judges, these mnii wei inhnitelv sunerior to some of those who have succeeded I them. But when did Judp,e Clark discover th r&WQ are bound to close ol astonishment, that v was not goo is "matter after lb65 any one could be found j to urge before the courts that Hoke j vs. Henderson was au auiamiij 1x1 1 -i 1 .! 14-.- 4.. I North Carolina." Matter of aston ishment ! It is undeniable that thoughtful and conservative men, considering his official position, are astonished at Judge Clark. It is a consolation to have it from his own pen that he is astonished at him self. Astonished, he says, that for the last thirty-five years auy one, lawyer or layman, should agree .vith Gaston and Raffin. And he is astonished -at himself! Why? Onlv a vear or so ago, this same Judge Clark concurred in deciding three important cases involving the control of the asylums of the State, and his ' decision was based upon Hoke vs. Henderson aud literally upon nothing else. The only ques-1 4" 1 "Vi n . 1 1 W . 1 . I ll"u arc incjse cases lite noKe K', ThC at0'y of xAwc . ueiiuersou no iawjrer or judge disputed, and no judge, per haps, was so vigorous in his loyalty to and in his laudation of that great case, as was Judge Clark. The court, Judge Clark concurring, characterized the opinion ot Chief Justice Rufthi as "great." Now Judge Clark says he is astonished that anybody, since Judge Clark got to be a grown up man, should have regarded it as authority ! In these very cases, cases which are quite young and quite recent, but are old enough to ante-date the last election, the same Judge Clark with the rest of the court says: 4 'It is settled beyond question that a pub lic office is property and is a vested right." This same Judge Clark, speaking since the last election, now says that a public office is not property, and is not a vested right, and in uncounted pages he rai's and rants at those whose iudicial opinions do not conform to the vic issitude? of political parties. .Again said the court: "It is settled be yond question, that a public ofiiee ex if tis by contract between the State and the holder." And Judge Clark said so, too. Now he says that the office does not exist by contra t. and charac-! terizts the mere as a s ?lf-evident ab.-u rdit v. and tries to prove it by pi iug up page after page (f print to be paid for by the people, and ualpahlv Trenared for ! political propaganda. i And now for the climax in this! virsauc of judicial lawlessness!' Judge Clark says that the Supreme j Court has no po ver to declare an ! act of Assembly to be unconstitu- j tbeu aimounce(i the funeral. Un tional and void. And yet this same tlerneath this a newspaper man Judge Clark has been lor teu or tackeJ a tel m blank, with these more years sitting in judgment words. i4Ieaven ).A0 p. m .john uponacis of the Legislature and sou uo( - arrived.

Editor of the Asheville Gazette: Dear Sir I have always been a consistent Democrat, but I have at last realized the fact that the Dem ocratic party in this State will not legislate in favor of the common people. The proposed constitu tional amendment will disfranchise thousands of white meu in this State, and I shall do all in mv power to secure its defeat. I take this opportunity of announcing in the future I shall vote the straight Republican t'ket, and I have five sons who will do likewise. There are many Democrats on Spring Creek who will vote against the proposed amendment. Your paper is doing a great work and I feel sure that the people will sustain you. Respectfully, T. L.
