WAYNE4SBITN, GREENE COUNTY, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1865. li 1111n)A dr-t4 --;* .t.it-- SENATOR WILLIAM 'HOPKINS ! Qn the bill Attaching Washington °minty to Allegheny, as a Judicial District. ' l lll l loltil Ihave not the vanity to suppose th anything I can say in re gard to the bill before the Senate will influence the vote of any Senator, but regarding it as one ot the highest im portance, as well to the people of Wash ington county as the State at large, but more imruediately the former, I feel that I should be derelict in my duty did 1 allow it to pass in silt nce. To Senators in remote parts of the State it may seem to be a matter of but little moment—the mere transfer of a county from one judicial district to another, and under certain circumstances it might perhaps be so, but this is not a case of that character. That the question may be presented to this Senate in its true ' light, it may be well to refer to the his tory of the Fourteenth Judicial dis trict, with a brief reference to the recent history of that of the Fifth, those be ing the two that are to be affected by the bill. The former was organized in 1818, and is composed of the counties of Washington, Fayette and Greene. Notwithstanding the district has al ternately been under the domination of various political parties, yet never be fore has the attempt been made, or even suggested, so far as I know, to change it, with the single exception, when it was proposed to create a new judicial district by creating a new county, and attaching it to Washington and Greene. Thus, sir, amid the mutations of par ty, and the various changes which have taken place in other districts, the Four teenth has stood the test of tint., and by common consent has been permitted to remain undisturbed for forty-seven years. Why, then, shbuld it be changed now What pretext can be o'ffered for detaching Washington county, and an nexing it to the Fifth district Is it because the administration ot jastice is delayed in the Fourteenth district?— '1 his will not, I am sure, be alleged by any one. No, sir; I think it may be safely affirmed that no district in the Commonwealth is more free from such a complidut. • Is it because the people- bare asked for the change •? Where are the peti tions? I have neither seen or heard of one from any quarter ; nor have I been written or spoken to by any human beinq to favor such a bill—not one. Or is it because there is not sufficient business in Allegheny county to occu py the time of the judges there? I shall have something to say in reply to this latter interrogatory hereafter, and will, I think, be mile to show that tills cannot be the reason. question theu recurs. '•Why is the sought to he made now ?" Sir, ljaL truthful answer can t•e givun ; and when I contemplate the character of the legislation wl:L!! , that answer will in dicate, and the motives. which prompt ed the application, I trouble for Me, saf try of the judiciaiy Will you, sir, believe the Semite, will the public believe it—that this proposition owes its origin solely and entirely to political considerations— nothin v; more, nothing less—su avowed by its friendsin the other end of the capitol, and I challenge contradiction of this assertion. I am glad however to believe that the scheme was confined to but few men. I am entirely satisfied that the gi eat mass of the people, or even of the Republican party, were never consulted on the subject; and I doubt whether any considerable poi tion'of them desire the ch. nge. In the earlier, and may I not add without offence, better days of the pro fession, when the Wash n; on bar was grac.d by the Campbells, the WG.ffins, toe Bairds and M Keinnis, such a IA 0 0 0- sition would have been rejected as un worthy of consideration. And in jus tice to the bar. as at present constituted, I venture the opinion that a . majority of its members will so regard it now. Mr. Speaker, allow me now, for a moment, to recur to the situation of Allegheny county. In 1660. that county contained a population of one hundred and eighty thoupid. Its two cities, Pittsburgh and Allegheny, with their enviro s, carrying on a larger manu facturing and commercial business than all the balance of the Commonwealth west of the mountains. Such was the accumulation of the legal business of the county, as far back as 1859. that ap plication was made for an additional law judge. The Legislature was assured that the ends Of public justice required this, and after mature deliberation it was granted. Again, in 1862, application was made for still another law judge, and the ne cessity in this instance seems to have been so wgent 'and so patent that the bill granting it passed both Houses unatunximily, and so tar as the secord shows, without a word of debate. • Now, Wlct would be entire; agreea ble to the Setkator trotn A, (Mr- Bighato,) who bas the bill hi charge, I Ismail Rico to know whatbar . those two applications were made by the ratan CgcsLiA r!J oltitiNl. bar in good faith, or were they made for the purpose of providing places for a couple of gentlemen of the legal pro fession, in the absence of other necess ity ? If the latter, then I submit whether sound economy, as well as lofty patriot ism does not demand the repeat of at least one of those acts authorizing the appointment of an additional law jtidge, and the appli: ation of his salary, say three thousand per annum, towards the support of the widows md orphan chil dren of some brave soldiers who have fallen ou the battle field, or to some eth er benevolent purpose ? But let me be not misunderstood. I do not propose the repeal of these . laws. On the contrary, I believe the prompt administration of justice requires the continuance of all the law judges now on the bench. What I suggest is, that if one of them can be so far dispensed with as to preside over the several courts of Washington, big services might be dispensed with altogether in Allegheny county. But Ido not ad mit the premises. I have no means of knowing the present population of Allegheny county, but there is doubtless a large increase, amounting to many thousands, since 1860, or even since 1862, when the third law judge on tlie common pleas bench was granted. It cannot be claim ed then, with the least semblance of consistency, that the business of the courts of that county has so diminished that the time of the judges is not fully occupied. In view of these considerations, will the Senate grant the legislation here in voked I Will they transfer Washington county from a district where there is not even an allegation of delay in the administra tion of justice, to one where the delay was so great that two additional law judges have been deemed mdispensable within tilt past six years? I my, will you do this ; and that, two, for no apparent reason other than that the people of that county may be presided over by a Republican judge'? If there be any other reason I would like to know it— and if none can be shown, I trust it will not be done. Whatever acts of folly the Legisla ture may commit in other reTects— whatever outrages they may inflict up on the people in the formation of Con gressional, Senatorial and Representa tive districts, let them not, I beg of you, tamper with the judiciary, which Web ster defines to be "the firmest bulwark- of freedo2n." Let us so regard it, and not attempt to lower its dignity, or lessen public confidence in its integrity.— Rather let our action be such. as to ele vate still higher its character, and pres erve more sacredly its purity. It this precedent be now established, where will it ends Who can tell where the next stab will be aimed 7 So tier as appears on the surface you might, widi equal propriety, annex Northumbei land or Cumberland, or both, to Dauphin, York and Adarns,to Lancaster, and so on throughout the r monwealth, until • (1)11,St every ate county migiit be attached to a Republican district, and be presided over by a judge in whose election they had no participation whatever. Mr. Speaker, this is an attempt to in augurate a policy which, if adopted, will undermine our whole judicial fabric, and leave us without guarantee for liberty aNd property. Str, at a time like the present, when the whole "land is rent with civil feuds and drenched in fraternal blood s " will tee Senate lend itself to a policy which will inevit ably impair, it it door not totally destroy public confidence in our ju diciary, the last hope of freedom; and that, too, it must be remembered, not only without precedent, as I believe, but against one of the plainest provis ions of the Constitution ? Thus far, I have considered this bill in the light of expediency With the indulgence of the honorable Speaker and the Senate, I will now submit a few remarks touching the power of the Legislature to pass it. And here, perhaps, I should apolo gise for presuming to discuss a grave c ioual question, not t eing •-learued in the law:" but as I intend men ly to present the point on which I rely, without elaborating it, I trust that the members of that honorable ptofess ion will withhold criticism on what I nay say, and argue it themselves in All its legal bearing's. Suction two of the hfth article of the Constitution of Pennsylvania provides that 'The Judges of the Supreme Citirt, of the several courts of coinmon pleas, and of such other courts of record as are or shall be established by law, shall be elected by the qualified electors of the Commonwealth, in the manner follow ing, to wit: The judges of the Supreme Court, by the qualified electors of the Commonwealth at large; the president judges of the several nourts of common pleas, and of such other courts of record as are or shall be established by law, awl all other judges required to be learned in the law, by the qualified electors of the respective districts Aver which they are to pre*i or act as judge.'" "Now, sir, under this use of - the organic law, do we possess the pa to peas this bill and- to. infuse in - iality r This is the q • here, and thepsolle t Ciii "NO hangs the late of e s ibigialPlls . trailer the solenraitiwithe Makin I assumed on taking my seat upon this for at least seven years, "the tight to floor as a Senator, we do not, and I will choose their judge." • • as briefly as I can, proceed to give "the But if it be said that this bit does reason for the faith within me." It not actually and permanently, "take wi:l be observed that the languago of away the right but merely "postpones," the Constitution, as quoted above, . it, I answer, .that thatjs equally repug not only most explicit, but imperative.", .t to the Constitution. Fot it will "The president judges of the several - red that the court say tip "un courts of common pleas," &c., '"shall be postpone the right& would elected by the qualified electors of the ' , Tepee- doubt'. , •-fausie the law to Op "set tive districts over whieh they ore to • 'aide - ids as " .ney prt .or act as fudges." Now the firatquestion< that arises here is, What is irrrOiee• the word "district !" Webster defines it to mean "a limited extent of country or circuit within which power, right or authority may be exercised, and to which it is restrained." The term "district" has also received a-judicial interpretation by the highest tribunal in the Common wealth. In case of "Chase vs Miller," that eminent jurist, Judea Woodward, in delivering the opinion of the court, says: "Districts denotes subdivisions of Pennsylvania territory, marked out by known bounderies, pre arranged and declared by public au thority." Now, sir, apply these defi nitions, both of which come from the highest authority, and see how com pletely they harmonize with the view I am takint of the bill before us. I put the question to the Senate : Was Wash ineztort county within the "boundaries," as "declared by public authority," of the Fifth "district," at the time Judge Sterrett was elected, or had "the quali fied eh - ctcrs of t! at county any ,voice in the election ?" Will it be pretended by any one, that becaase judge Sterrett was elected for the Fifth district which embraced Allegheny alone, would, with Wash ington annexed, be presiding over the same district whose "qualified electors" placed him in offices. If so, then I sub mit that both the letter and spirit of the Constntion may at any time - be evaded, its vitality destroyed, and an elective judiciary become a most solemn mocke ry.__ If the right of the people of Wash ington, county to exercise the elective franchise can be thus "postponed" for seven years, it can be done indefinitely. For example—suppose at the end of Judge Sterritt's term some discontented spirit should conceive the idea of annex ing Washington to the Beaver district, (by no means an improbable supposi tion, in view of the bill under consider ation,) whose judge has been elected, would not ten years more be added to their disfranchisement Most certain- . ly ; and thus, by alternating every ten years, you could continue the wrong for all time to come. And if you can do this in regard to Washington county, yon can do the same in regard to every other—and if you can annt.x one county in this way, you can annex four, and extend over them all the jurisdiction of a judge whom the people thereof had no voice in electing. For the third section of article five provides that "uot more than five counties shall, at any time, be included in one judicial district," which . clearly implies that five may be inclu ded. Nov, suppose this bill should be so amendd as to add the counties of `Westmoreland, Somerset and Fayette to the Fifth district, which, including Washington and Allegheny, would make 5, the constitutional, number would any sane man claim that a judge who had been elected for Allegheny alone, could preside over the four added counties for ten years, merely because the number of the district is preserved I It this can be done in this particular instance, it can be done in every other district throughout the State, and thus you may ignore the plan intent and meaning of the constitutional amendment in regard to the election of judges "by the quali fied electors of the respective districts over which they are to preside." Yes, sir, by a simple act of Assembly you can place over a large majority of the people of the Commonwealth a set of judges in whose election they had no voice, and in whose integrity. moral or judicial, .they might, perchance, have no confidence. Carithis be possible. To suppose that the Constitution is susceptible of such an interpretation would . be to charge upon the Legi-sla tun e that proposed amendment, as well as the people who adopted it, a delib erate purpose to practice a moat atro cious fraud, The mere statement of such a mon strosity carries upon its lace the evi dence of its own condemnation. But, f , rtunately, we are not left in doubt in regard to the power of the Legislature to "postpone" the right of the people to eleot their judges. The Supreme Court in the case of the "Commonwealth vs. Maxwell," set tled that question. The learned judge, in delivering the opinion of that exalted tribunal, saki.: `elf the Legislatur# should pass a law intended to take away from tibe people the right to choose their judges, or even a law which unnecessarily postponed or embarrassed it, it would doubtless be la male 46 uneseeitational." Now, sir, it coxes to me dot thill distinipisbed judge were no w wilder an oflunou upon, the OotiadtutiOnartty of thhrbill, Woo,* a law, yiE noti fat - • to barna & awes woes &gems*. 111 "trnier the hose jadeite& • So tar as the set W , minty 1111.010111 thalleS let red' attempt "Se talsersistfrom, asks. ~ ,t utionaL to. the "flight to -ehtPose-'a . seven yeintis not au "unneees..,, , t,ponement," then I would be glad t or what would. Sir, to my mind thbitAt too clear to require elaboration. As has been shown in a foiiner part of my remarks, numbers are given to "districts" as a mere conventional ar: rangement for sake of convenience, and do not enter into either the letter or spirit of the Constitution. If this was not so, then by transpos ing the numbers of any given districts, you would also transpose the jurisdic tion of.ithe judges. For example—Judge Pearson was elected by the "qualified electors" of the Twelfth district, and Judge Graham by those of the Ninth. Now, would the transposition of the numbers of those two districts transpose the jurisdiction of Judges Pearson and Graham Who would hazard his rep utation as a lawyer, or even as a man of common sense, by suggesting such a palpable absurdity ? And yet, sir, the principal involved in this bill is pre cisely the same. It then it be the territorial limits, and not the number that constitutes a district, it is the territory in its entirety that is meant, and it follows, a logical sequence, that the Legislature possesses no power under the Constitution per manently to extend the jurisdiction of any judge over one foot of territory not embraced within the territorial limits of his district at the time of his election. Let me implore Senators, shen, to pause oueo, before committing this great wrong upon the people of Washington coun ty. Let them remember that in doing so they are establishing a precedent which utterly defeats the 'ivy object the fra mers of the amendment to the Consti tution had in view in providing for an elective judiciary. Let them remember, too, the muta bility of all things human, and that the dominant party of to-day may be in the minority hereafter, and that this pre cedent if established, may be improved upon by those who are now in the minority, until our Constitution will become a by-word an& reproach. May I not, with confidence, appeal to the venerable Senator from 'Lancas ter, Judge Champneys, the father of the bar in this body, to throw the weight of his intellect, legal learning and influence on the side of the funda mental law of the State, and the integ rity of our judicial system, both of which I know he holds in such high veneration. Even were it a doubtful question, I submit to his large experi ence whether it would not be better to allow the Constitution to have "the benefit of the doubt !" But, sir, I must not tresspass upon the courtesy of the Senate. - All I will add, in conclusion, is that if this outrage be perpetrated, candor complies me to warn the Senate, not by way of a threat, but in the light of truth and soberness, that however ele vated may be the character of the judge who may be sent there, or however eminent his legal attainments, he will be regarded by the people of Washing ton county in the light of one foisted upon them, not only without their con sent, but against the plainest mandates of the written constitution, - and that, too, for no other reason than to sub serve purely partisan purposes. But I trust that I ntay neither be misunderstood or misrepresented. In thus expressing myself, I, of course, do not intend the slightest distespeet to the distinguished gentleman who it is proposed shall preside over all our peo ple. On the contrary, I regard Judge Sterritt as eminently fitted for the bench, and I will add that should he ever be' placedover the people of that county in a legitimate way, they will shoi,, , him that courtesy which his com manding talents and high integrity so eminently merit.
