FRIDAY MORNING. July 7.
The Atlanta Sun publishes at length cur
editorial upon the “New Departure/’ and in
commenting upon it, says :
We give the foregoing article from the
Rome Tri-Weekly Courier of 'he 24th
inst., our hearty endorsement, with the
qualification : That the validity of the re
construction measures, have never yet been
brought to the test tbefore the Supreme
Court of the United States. On all the
points under those acts yet brought before
that Court, the decision has been against
their validity: Such were the rulings of
that Court in the Mississippi case, the Tex
as case, and the case that went up from
Virginia; and such acre the rulings upon
all the cases involving the validity of the
test oath.
That court has heretofore avoided any
decision upon the direct question of the va
lidity of the reconstruction acts themselves
This is our understanding ol that matter.
A. II. S.
Wc chcerlully accept the qualification,
only hogging to qualify our acceptance by
the remark that we regarded the di-posi
tion of the Supreme Court to evade a de
cision upou these questions, when brought
before it, as a quasi confirmation of their
validity.
The courts, however, have confirmed the
President's power to suspend the writ of
habeas corpus, deducing his authority to do
so, from a right inherent in his office as ex-
oilicio commander-in chief of the army and
navy. •
Judge Pain, of Wisconsin, thus defines
this power :
“A military commander may declare
martial law in districts which are the actu
al theater of war; where hostile armies are
met for the purpose of destruction; or in in
surrectionary districts where domestic vio
lence and discord have effectually displaced
the civil authorities, but not elsewhere.”
The Supremo Court of Indiana, in the
case of Griffin vs Wilcox, has discussed
the question of this power at length, and
thus concludes an able argument:
“The right then, of the President to
temperarily govern localities through his
military officers: he derives solely from the
fact that he is commnnder-in-chief of the
army',” etc.
And further :
“The war power of the President then,
may be stated thus : lie has a right to
govern, through his military officers, by
martial law’ when and where the civil pow
er of the United States is suspended by
force,” etc.
Again, the same court says :
“We feel constrained then, to come to
the conclusion that the war power of the
President is limited to the simple right of
exercising martial law simply as a military
chief, locally and temporarily, where actu
al or immediately impending force readers
it a military necessity.”
Thus, the President, being a military
commander, Las the right in certain cases
to declare martial law, and to suspend the
writ of habeas corpus, and it is precisely
just such cases as the ku klux bill describes
That bill declares'the uceessity of exercis
ing this right, although we all know that
its every premise was false, and that every
member of Congress who voted for that
measure was in nis secret soul a perjured
traitor, yet it stands before the world vest
ed with all the sanctity of judicial endorse
ment, and is independent even of the re
cent amendments.
The courts have always approached con
stitutional questions with reluctance, and
invarably avoid a decision if there is any
possible chance to do so. The position of
reviewing and reversing the acts of a co-or
dinate and co-equal branch of the govern
ment has been a delicate one in any stage
ol our governmental history, but that del
icacy has now degenerated into absolute
servility and. fawning toadyism. The judi
ciary now feels too sensibly its dependence
upon the legislative, to exercise its judg
ment as it should. The shameful revision
of the legal tender decision shows this but
too plainly. In t.iat case the original and
true court had the temerity to decide ad
verse to the wishes and decrees of the
-Congress, whereupon Congress, with authori
ty as tyrauical as it was usurped, remodeled
the court, and its members had the coward
ly subserviency to reverse its decision.—
And by this one action bath the C tigress
and the Supreme Court have manifested a
more treasonable disregard for the spirit
and the truth of our government and the
Constitution than in all their other acts to
gether. It shows how littL can bo depen
ded upon the Cm rt to conserve the princi
ples of constitutional stovmnm
that ( ourt is dependent upou the Congress j rieuce iu teaching, aud has the well deserv-
whieli threatens the destruction of those | ed reputation of being one of the’ best ed-
priuciples.
The school now numbers 48 pupils, all
happy and contented, and in a fair way to
bo made capable of becoming useful citi
zens. There are probably at least one hun
dred more mute children iu the State that
ought to be enjoying the benefits of this
Institution, and we would urge upon all
good oitizens to assist the Ordinaries of the
respective counties, in hunting them up
and urging their attendance at this school
The Trustees had a meeting on the 28th
and elected all the old officers, viz :
IV. O. Conner, Principal.
Mr. James Fisher, I
MissSallie Posie. >- Assistants.
Frank Moore. J
Rev. B. B. Quillain, Steward.
Robt. McCord, Master of Shoe Shop.
Jamas S. Davis was eleoted first assis
tant, but not to be actually employed, un
less the increased size of the school should
require his services.
In this connection we wish to make al
lusion to tlio highly entertaining exhibition
given by the mutes, nndcr the direction of
Mr. Conner, at the conclusion of the exam
ination exercises. The entertainment con
sisted of tableaux, pantomimes and shad
ow pictures, sudwas really one of the best
amateur performances we have ever wit
nessed on the stage. The large exhibition
hall was crowded, and all were delighted
with the presentations. .
We wish the members of our Legisla
ture, and in fine, all who feel an interest in
this unfortunate class, eonld have witness
ed this exhibition.
Andrew Jackson Donaldson.—A
brief paragraph in our last announced the
death of this old timed politician, who died
suddenly in Memphis -not Cincinnati, as
reported, on tho evening of the 26th, at
the age of seventy-two years.
This distinguished man was born in the
year 1779. He graduated second in the
class of 1822, at West Point; was the pri
vate secretary of President Jackson dur
ing both terms of his administration, and
afterwards served as Minister Plenipoten
tiary to the Repnblie of Texas, Berlin and
German Confederation. On- bis return
home he succeeded Frank Blair, Sr., as ed
itor of the Washington Union, and then
ran for the Vice Presidency on the Fill
more ticket. For the past ten years he has
lived quietly on his plantation, near Aus
tralia, Mississippi.
The Episcopal Church in Georgia.
—The Journal of the forty-ninth annual
Convention of the Episcopal Church for

Golclougii, Harkins & Glover.—
We understand that this enterprising, go-
ahead firm, has rented from Col. Shorter
that large and elegant store room adjoining
their present store, which is to be used by
them as a wholesale store exclusively.—
Their present wholesale room is to be used
for the sale of carpets, clothing, etc. They
will now occupy three floors, 27 feet front
and 80 feet deep.
We are glad to note the prosperity of
this firm—that while some of our mer
chants complain of hard times, dull trade,
etc , these men have moved steadily with
a constantly increasing trade.
This fact proves conclusively that Rome
can sustain an exclusive wholesale dry
goods house.
