Description:Excerpt from Speech of Hon. G. W. Hughes, of MD., On the State of the Union: Delivered in the House of Representatives, February 5, 1861 Will any one tell us how, under the foregoing section, the fact of the forfeiture of ships and merchandise is to be decided; and how the rights of claimants are to be secured within the territory of seceding States? Are all the questions to be settled, not by the judiciary as provided for by law, but by the Executive, who must usurp authority if he undertakes to enforce the laws under existing circumstances? Nor can Congress invest the President with these powers, for the reason that they are essentially judicial, and forbidden by the Constitution. And again: to further illustrate the utter absurdity of this pretension to enforce the laws in this particular instance, let us view it in another phase. It is well known that the revenue officers collect the customs under instructions from the Treasury Department. Under our complicated tariff system, nice questions frequently arise; and if the importer thinks himself aggrieved, he brings suit against the collector in the district court of the United States having jurisdiction over the collection district in which the alleged illegal customs are received; and very often the court reverses the construction of the Secretary of the Treasury. Now, if the Executive undertakes to enforce the revenue laws in South Carolina, without regard to the judiciary, what check is there on the exec tions of the collector, or on even the most obviously illegal construction of the laws by the head of the Treasury Department? And what remedy has the unfortunate importer against the cupidity or rapacity of the revenue officers of the Government?
