The New fan Tribune publishes a
loAgsndaUa paper flam the eminent
1aw)«f,(j|iarlaaO'Oon«, «h the validity
•f the amend manta to tha Btato CqsBtita*
tioo of New York recently adopted by s
vote el the paopie. Ae a qaeetiea very
aimllar to that diaeuaaed by Mr. O'Oonor
haa been raiaed in reference to pending
amendment* to the Oonetitution of Geor
gia proponed by the Legialature, we have
read Mr. O'Conor’a opinion with aom*
care.
The eouatltntion ef New Yolk provide*
a mode for the amendment of the inetru-
meot exactly like that provided by tha
oonetitution of Georgia, i. e. concurrent
raaolntion* of two auoceaeive legialative
bodiM, and a final approval by the peo
ple. But the New York Legialatnre of
1878 propoeed one Mt of amendment*,
and the Legialature of 1874 modified them
by atriking out aom* proportion. i and
the amendment* were eubmittod to
the popular vote aa propoeed by the laat
LegUdtfar*. In Georgia, aa our reader*
are aware, one Legialature ba* already
propoeed for tha popular vote a eerie* of
amendment* to the State conatitntion,and
it ia now found that the amendment in
referenne lo the Stale bond* pronounced
“bogua" iaaot aa f nil m wm intended—doM
not embrace all the bond* dMfgned to be
embreoed; and tha question ariaea, oau
the Leglelafure ebortly about to meet
amend the propoeed amendment* by am-
plifying the one named? Mr. O’Conor
maintain* that the foot that the two Leg-
ialatura* of New York paaaed proposed
amendment* aomewbat different in their
detail*, doee not invalidate them after
their ratification by the popular
vote. The paaaage of the amend
ment* by the first Legialature waa
merely diaigned aa a notification to the
people of wbat waa propoaed, *o aa
to give them warning, and it ia
the action of the aeoond Legia-
lature which more nearly refleoto the pop
ular will upon the matter. He hold*,
however, that the aeveral proposition*
eubmittod ahould be distinct, bo that a
fair exprearion of the popular voice upon
each can be obtained. A punctilious ob-
servanoe of forme, be aaye, can never be
inalated on nnlam they are prescribed in
the law governing the oeae. It thua ap
pear* that in the opinloo of this able law
yer the omiuian by the second Legislature
of some amendment* propoaed by the
first doM not ao alter the proposition aa
to require atill another legialative passage.
The quMtion which then remains ia
whether an addition to the amendments
by the second Legislature (as is propoaed
in Georgia) would require action by a
third Legllaatar*. Mr. O'Conor aeei
be of the opinion that it would not.
This opinion of Mr. O'Copor ia inter
esting In view ef another application. It
is stated that Mr. Poland, of the Con
gressional inveetigating committee, will
report that the new constitution of Ar
kansas ia a nullity, and the new State
Government eleoted under it la illegal,
because the forma prescribed for amend
ing the late constitution were not fol
lowed. It prescribed that amendments
ahould be made by their successive pea
sage by two Legislatures and subsequent
ratification by the people. But the laat
Legislature eubmittod to the people the
quMtion of calling a State Convention,
the people voted for and eleoted delegates
to it, and this Convention ' proposed
amendments which tha people ratified.
Mr. O'Oonor aaya, in discussing the ques
tion whether tb* people of a State oan be
prohibited from aeaembllng together tn
matte or by delegate* to amend their con
stitutions :

Jfr^ MdumrdBrandon, Chairman, da.,
Data Sib—I have jaat received -poor
communication of the llth that., together
with copy of letter* of John Jonas, treas
urer, end of yourself. Yea call my attaa-
tioa especially to the feet that payment of
interest is refused on bonds of the State
of Georgia, taausd under the act of De

1,619, each for on* thousand dollars, and,

The aupreme power at every point of

law possess the elective tranohta*. They

the People: they are the State. Written
constitutions differ essentially from ordi
nary aud temporary law* in thi* only, it,

the former emanate from the People

bars of that polities! god social unit, the
state. When enacting a Constitution they
are rroponaibls to their own oonaciencm
only, and are subjeot to no limitation or
rmtraint from any human institution, or
from anything ooming within the notion
of law save and exoept only anoh as may
be imposed by the term* or import of the
Federal Union. It follows M a neosMary
consequence that wheuever they see fit
the people of a State can altar their writ
ten Constitution. The power of the
whole body so to do by the voioe of a
simple majority ia inherent, and in-
oapeble of being natreined by law.
They cannot meet in one plaee, or pro
ceed without organisation; aad this
forms the only impediment te their
action under thi* pre-eminent power
at any instant. The rMtraiot named te
not imposed by law; but, arising from
the nature of the thing, it exists iu fact.
To meat the noosaeity of organisation, an
authority to convoke the people for the
purpoM of making changes in their fun
damental law, or considering proposal* te
that end, must exist in some official de
partment. Otherwte* the principal power
could not be said lo exist. It would be
annulled by its own impracticability. It
would be a still-born product of the vain
imagination in whioh it wm conoeived.
This authority to oouvoke the people
vmIb by necessary implication in that of.
flclal body or department to whioh the
existing constitution sextans ths general
duty of declaring the will of the State.
Hence the oonoluslon that a new funda
mental law, or aa amendment of that
in existence, will beMtabllshed whenever,
ou a fair and orderly submission to
the people by the Legislature, a majority
shall approve it. And thi* rasult may be
TMohed without the obMrvane* ol any
other form or ceremony whatever. A
written constitution cannot effectually for
bid the subversion of its provision*, or in
any way divest tb* people of power to
modify their institutions in a peopoeful
and legal aray.
Thi Bom* Commercial says that “Hon.
Joshua B. HiU, who has been confirmed
U. B. Marshal for on* of the North Caro
lina districts, is the gentleman ef that
asm* who wm Senator from Georgia just
after Ih* war.” But thia must be a mis
take, m our Joshua Hill of Georgia bM
no B in his name, and is moreover a gen
tleman of ao much wealth as to make
offioe-holding only desirable to him oa
aooouut of Its supposed honor.

arrant cowardiM—the wretchm who

wm not that a brave young man, a Chris
tian gentleman, a true husband end a kind
fstber died in tha discharge of bis duty,
by the pistol of a desperado, it is that in
tb* person of Morphy and our officers our
municipality was act at defiance, and
every good man outraged by the drunken
braggarts, with whom not only the officers
but cilixsns claiming to be law-abiding
were only too lenient. The police should
here arrested theM fellows at once, and in
the event of their resisting thsy should
hsv* taken ths promptest measures to
subjngate them to the law. Murphy bad
too much physical courage, and wm too
ept to think others were equally warm
hearted, generous and brave. His life te
the forfeit of his mistaken kindneM, and
his death a lesson to every offiosr who bM
to do with a d-sperado, drunken or sober.
There te on* fault connected, in onr be
lief, with every officer eleetive aud other-
wise In our country. We except Gov
ernor Smith. They are too much afraid
to hurt tha feeling* of a voter or a friend
by a strict, determined and impartial ad
ministration of their who’s dnty, unoar
ing for that fickle, delusive, and unrelia
ble thing, “Publio Opinion.” Had the
Bagleya been poor follows, who ran no
big aeoonnta at stores, and spent no ex
cessive sums in bar-rooms, does any msu
think the officers would have had such
so-called “patience" with them? Cer
tainly not; they would have been arrMted
in a moment. If Eiland did not buy
goods would msn run to shake the hands
still rad with tb* blood of Davis? No,
it te pptfy gain opposed to eternal
justice; it ■ moral cowardice opposed to
every law, human and Divine, and the
man who oountenanom such crimes with
thedread of losing the paltry dollar, or
the fear of bringing on himself the hate
of murderers and their friends, will see
his efforts fruitless, his own life blasted
and hie country still impoverished.
From the first we have raised our
voice, uncaring on* fig for “publio opin
ion,” against the lawleaaneM that has cut
off eighteen Uvm within the last year and
a half, inside of a radius of thirty-five
mites of our city. We had hoped that
the oowards and bulliM would cease to

to my, just here, that th* treMurer, whose

upon the part of holders of bonds belong
ing to the asm* series M the four men

their ownership to the bond oommitt**
appointed by th* General AsMuibly in
1871. Thi* information might havs been
obtained, at any time, by applying
through th* financial agent of the State
in New York, or by writing directly to
this department. It seems, however,that
neither of them modM suited eithar-th*
holders of th* four bauds or the 1 ‘com
mittee on seouritiM,” and th* action of
the New York Stock Exchange hM been
invoked ia the premises. New. while
begging to expr*M my rMpect for your

or can pass, will be Buffered to control,
in the slightest degree, th* action of th*
treMurer, or of this department, ia in-
■istingupon a oompliance on lha port of
public creditor*, with th; simple rsgola-
lions shown by experience to be neoessa-
ry for the protection of tb* State's inter
est and credit.
It is with regret I learn that you seem
to think that this action on the part of
the treasurer hM already mulled in th*
depreciation of our Mcnrittee in your
market. Bat I moat, sven at th* risk of
incurring th* censure of th* “New York
Stock Exchange,'’ Mill insist that th* au
thorities of this State have ths sola right
of deciding what seouritiM eoaMitate
legal or equitable claims upon her tma-
nry. Neither the government nor the
people of this State have ever refused to
pay any portion of our just publio debt.
1'ber* is, however, a fixed purpoM upon
th* part of all not to pay or to recognise
M valid sny illegal or unjust claim. The
right to determine what olaima are legal
aud just, m hM already been intimated,
will be exercised by the proper authori
ties of the State, end will never under
any eirouinstanoM be oeded or transferred
to the “New York Stock Exohang*.”
As you an doubtlsm swam, it hM been
the misfortune of this, M well M other
Southern States, to have th* markets of
the world flooded sinoe the late war with
their, bonds, which, in many instances,
wore issued fraudulently and without au
thority of law. It ia hardiv n*o*M*ry to
state to one so aoourateiy informed M
yourself that thesj fraudulent isauM wen
made from motive of private gain, and
not in the interest of the public.
Th* investigations whioh have been
had and the regulation adopted at the
trMtuiyhav* been intended to seaun
such information m would enable the
proper authorities to eliminate all fraudu-
Snt securities from th* bonded debt of
the State.
The effect of this would be to protest
the interest of those persons who hold
ear legal securities. Indeed, th* internt
of this class imperatively demand each a
course of action npon onr part, for an in
discriminate recognition of all bonds pur
porting to have been issued by the
would so increaM our public debt M to
seriously impair ths value of that por
tion of the same whioh te in reality
gennins.
I have already intimated, but will her*
state more distinctly, that a committee
wm appointed by the General Aseembly
in 1871 to invMtigate and report upon ths
bonded debt of the State. In dfeeharg.
ing their duty, tb* committee found it
necessary to trace M far back M praotioa-
hle the history of eaoh on* of ths bonds
purporting to have beeu issued under th*
authority of the act of September 15,
1870. To this end notice wm given both
in this eonntry and in Europe to holder*
to present their bonds for examination,
and to furnish tb* committee with the
information required in reference thereto.
A large majority of the holders nspended
to this notice and furnished.such inform*,
tion m enabled the committee to submit a
satisfactory report to tb* General Assam,
bly, touching the bonds so presented.
But many of the holders failed to pr*Mnt
their bonds, or lo submit to th* commit
tee any information in reference thereto.
A due regard for th* pnblio
Interest required that th* his
tory of ell theM bond* should
be fully developed. Henoe the treasurer
has required that when the ooupoas of
bonds not reported to th* committee are
presented for payment, a satisfactory his
tory of their ownership shall ba given.
When th* reason for this demand hM
beeu understood bona fide holders, recog
nising its propriety, have never beaitated
to furnish tha explanation desired. It
seems to have remained for th* “New
York 8took Exchange," however, to de
nounce this regulation, and in behalf of
tbs fortunate holder* of the “four bonds”
to give notice that it will no lengar be
tolerated at ita board. If b simple pre
caution not overburdensome to the bond
holder, aud adopted solely for th* pur
pose of preventieg frond end imposition
upon the treasury of the State, should be
