Taxation.
In ll»! “Clarendon p»pcr»," so-called, the lol-
lowing instance Is narrated:
"At llenly, upon the Thames, a woman, speak
Ing against taxation imposed by Parliament, was
ordered by a committee to havo her tongue fus-
tenctl by a nail to the body of a treo by the way
side on market day, which was accordingly
done, and a paper, in great letters, setting forth
the heinousness oi her crime, fixed to her back
Well it is fbr the tax payers of this generation
and lime that the progress of olvili7ation has
taught the law-making power to tolerate more
than it did, lu the days of ‘‘Clarendon,’’ liberty
of speech, else how many tongues would bo nailed
to trees on market days, the I*ord only knoweth.
There is indeed some consolation in the reflection
that while the people are oppressed by heavy
taxation, they nro at liberty to complaiu of It
without suffering such, penalty as was exacted
of the poor woman at “Hcnly upon the Thames.”
Why the Richmond Times was Warned.
Tlie Cincinnati Oruette cites the following as
one of the extracts which cansed the teaming
given to the Richmond Time* by Ocucral Scho
field :
“ The ndventures o( a Puritan cobbler in
search of a mulatto party," promises to flirniah
the world with a source ot laughter almost os
enduring and inextinguishable as the raids of
Don Quixote and the” Journeys of Dr. SyntBx."
Senator Wilson is one of those stalo, fiat, cold
blooded and illiterate demagogues, who has uot
enough fury, fire and enthusiasm to extract a
grunt of satisfaction from the excitable black
man, nor the genius, eloquence and tact to please
the white men of the South. An old adago says
“ that in the country where the people are blind,
the one-eyed man is a king;” and, therefore,
among tho shoe-makers in Natick, where good
stump orators arc unknown, Wilson is an oracle.
But when the Radical Central Committee hired
this wretched apology for a public speaker, and
sent him to Virginia as a mighty orator, whose
words were gold and silver, there was not a
white man who heard him, who did not see that
lie was a miserable copiier kettle, wretchedly
electrotypcd, but without an eicmeut ot the true
orator or efiective speaker about him.
Tbe Georgia Injunction fane-Argument
of Itlr. Charles O’Connor.
Mr. O'Connor’s argument in the ‘‘Georgia In
junction Case,” before the Supreme Court ol the
United States, is being extensively published
throughout the North, and will be in most of the
Southern papers. It is certainly one that fully
sustains the reputation ol tlint gentleman as a
profouud lawyer and patriotic gentleman. On
the present occasion we design only to call the
attention ol our readers to the concluding por
tion of his argument, embracing ns it does, what
we have been taught to believe was the nature
of the government under which we, the people
of the States, lived from the day of its formation
until the Southern States seceded Irom the
“ Union.” Says Mr. O’Connor:
If the Court please, the great advantage of our
system of government is tlmt it divides into three
great co-ordinate and independent departments,
the whole Inaction of governing tho country,
and tlint it makes them perfectly independent of
each other. The object of their independence
is that they shall mutually check and con
trol encli other, not by the c.xcrriso ol vio
lence ot any description in the performance of
anything ttiat would amount to insult, hut by
each duly performing its own part and ma
king its function felt to the extent of its con
stitutional power and otllcc. This is the great
bulwark contrived by the wisdom of ancient
times and carried into execution practically by
the firm hands of the fathers of this Republic,
which constitutes, in point ot fact, the only safe
guard of private right and public liberty. It is
the only safeguard tlint could be contrived.
None other is eflectual; none other would pro
tect the rights of minorities or the rights of indi
viduals. Like alt human institutions, this must
be, of course, imperfect. They havo authority
to check each other, but will they, as a matter of
course? There is no certainty that they will.
And if any one will reflect for a moment upon
the action ot these departments, I think it will
be seen that nothing more was accomplished by
this division into three departments tlian this,
and it is so expressed by many writers upon the
subject: No one of these departments can tram
ple down the Constitution and overthrow public
liberty; it requires the joint action of two.
Scarcely a case can be Imagined in which the
joint action ot two oi them would not utterly
neutralize and make void any attempt on the
part of the third to protect public liberty or pri
vate right.
In this case, if Congress and tho President
were of one accord, if lie were half as anxious
and willing to have this reconstruction scheme
which abolishes the States carried into execution
as Congress is, be could, of course, by the means
to which I have referred, if this tribunal should
interfere, 3et its injunctions nnd its writs of man
damus at defiance, and prevent their execution,
freely, without obstruction from this department.
He could concur with Congress and execute the
acts. Now, under our system, there is, as lias
been intimated from the bench ol this court upon
a former occasion, a danger that one department
may of itself alone, and by its own power, usurp
all the powers of government and execute its
will, thus defeating the whole scheme of this di
vision of powers, without the calamity occurring
of a President being found ready to acquiesce in
their mandate. They have but to pass an unlaw
ful act, and threaten the President with the im
peachment of one of tlie other bodies and the
condemnation of another if he does not execute
it, and, perhaps, nine men out of ten in that office
would immediately yield to their power, particu
larly as it is not his special function to decide
what is or wlmt is not constitutional. Titus, in
that given case, by the action of one single de
partment—that, as it may be called, small ma
jority of one out ol three—Die constitution may
oe set at naught nnd public liberty destroyed,
unless there bo some mode of invoking the aid
of the third department—the Judiciary.
In this very case, perhaps the only case wor
thy of notice in which there lias been an at
tempt to tramplo upon the Constitution since it
was founded, we have precisely that predica
ment of tilings, a Congress alone, of its own au
thority, putting its heel, through the instrumen
tality of a President threatened with impeach
ment, upon ten States of this Union nnd crush
ing out their existence, without, as I say, the aid
ol the President. Looking into tlie Constitution
you find tlie remedy. Looking into tlie Consti
tution you find it there declared that it allows
such a course of proceeding Unit n third depart
ment cun step in and can save the President
from being thus, contrary to his judgment and
to his will, made the instrument of this single,
usurping, domineering, lawlessdepartment. The
great and striking case in which any suclr tiring
us tills might have lieen anticipated, in precisely
the case where the power of n great majority ia
called upon to crush some minor force in tlie
Republic—some State or States m a feeble con
dition. Those Slates being lorbidden by tlie
Constitution to have any oilier allies or friends,
are nilowed to come into tlie Supreme Court of
the United States, and before tlie life is crushed
out of them, through the instrumentality of the
equity process, which the court is entitled to by
its nature and foundation, and by tlie law of the
parent country, which we have inherited, pro
tect themselves to this extent, give to the Presi
dent a perfect immunity, a perfect defuse, in
case lie chooses to act virtuously, according to
the belief of his mitid and judgment, according
to hia conscientious views of the right of the
case; affording him n complete protection against
any action of this Congressional body against
him through its court of impeachment, unless
they should adopt measures so monstrous and
revolutionary that, as a matter of course, they
would, in some manner, be deprived of tire pow
ers which they would claim lor a purpose so
uuiust.
Now, if your Honors please, it is from these
views of the subject that wc contend, that the
Slate of Georgia properly comes here for this
remedy by which to perpetuate her own exis
tence as a State; that if sire is entitled to this
process by law, your Honors have no functions
to perform but to say so, and to give it to her.
If the Executive contends with it: if the fear of
a condemnation in tire court lor the tr ial of iin 1
parchments should be too strong and so great
(which 1 cannot suppose in the case of thin emi
nent citizen) that lie would not dare to stand
upon the vindication which your judgment af
fords him, very well, so bo it. Your Honors will
have done your duty. You will have done nil
that wae in the power ol the court. You will
have done all, in fact, that a court could or ever
ought to do in such a case, or in any case. You
will have pronounced what the law is, leaving
the Executive to obey it or not, as he sees tit.
You have no power to coerce him, and if he
should not yield obedience to the judgment
which you pronounce, then the scheme of this
division of powers would have been disappoint
ed. There would be the willing opposition of
mm
two departments defeating tho negative voice o 5
tho third, and tho Constitution would havo per
ished by tho hands that were olectod to sup
port it.
Wliat efiect the foregoing pleadings will have
upon the high judicial tribunal—tho highest fin
der tho Constitution in tills country, and one of
tho throe co-ordinate departments of tho general
government—wo aro not prepared to say. Per
haps they will avail naught, as wo aro inclined
at present to believe. Nevertheless, they em-
braco sound political tenets, which, wo predict,
ere many yonrs shall pass, will bo invoked liv
more tbau one Northern State to arrest congres
sional usurpation upon their rights, with wliat
success timo only can tell.
East Tennessee 4c Georgia Katlroait -Tlie
Duff. Green Mult,
A suit of large importance—large because of
tho heavy amount rlnimcd by tho plaintiff—lias
been determined iu tho Superior Court, at Dal
ton, the present week. The history of tlie suit,
wo think, is, iu brief, about tills: In the early
part of the year t849, we liclievo it was, General
Duff Green entered into a contract with the
East Tenuesscc & Georgia Railroad Company
for the .construction of the road irom tlie State
line to tlie waters of the Tennessee, at Blair's
Ferry, now Loudon. After the lapse of some
time it became manifest to the company tlint tlie
General would not bo aide to execute the contract
as per agreement, and that in his hands the en
terprise could not but prove a magnificent fail
ure. An arrangement was made by which lie
retirecl, or surrendered his contract. A short
time subsequently General Green brought suit
against tho company, alleging damages in tlie
sum ol a half million oi dollars. This, unless
our recollection is at fault, was in 1851—since
which period tho suit lias been in litigation, or
hung up and protracted Irom time to time from
various causes, until tho present term of tlie Su
perior Court at Dalton, where it lias been dis
posal of by the jury bringing in a verdict in
favor oi tlie road.
This result was anticipated by all familiar
with tlie inception and history of the coso, and
will prove gratifyiug intelligence to tho friends
of the East Tennessee & Georgia Railroad, and
more especially so to its stockholders.

Sio Nine ant.—The New A'ork Tribune de
nounces the thirteen Republicans in the New
Jersey Legislature who recently voted against
negro suffrage in that State. We quote as fol
lows :
We can’t afford to be mealy-inoullied with
these fellows even if we were inclined to. What
ever they may mean, they are doing their utmost
to exclude tlie Republican party from thirteen
Stales, and thus insure its speedy overthrow and
dissolution. Men who hold that none but whites
should vote may he well enough in their place;
but there is no room for them in the Republican
party. Every one who stays in it keeps at least
ten voters out of it.
The plain, inevitable ineauiug of the Tribune
in the remark above is, that unless they cun build
up a Republican party at the South, and that in
a pretty short space of time, the party North is
incontinently gone up. Those tender-toed South
ern editors who are so (raid of oflending Sena
tor AYilsou ami other radical orators, will please
make a note.
Sionikicant Fact.—The following refers,
entirely, to a foreign country:

THE JAMAICA RIOTS.
AYo publish below a synopsis of tho charge of
the Lord Clilct Justice of England to the Grand
Jury, upon tlie long pending Jamaica trials, which
wo know will bo read with great Interest. Tho
charge is in reference to tlie action which was
brought against Colonel Nolson and Lieutenant
Braud, members of a court martial for murder,
iu executing Sir. Gordon, a leader of the Jamaica
riots. Tho delivery of tho Chief Justice's clinrgo
extended over six hours, and is regarded by tho
English papers as, a masterpiece ol legal ability.
In the language of our cotomporary of the
Charleston News, “ this charge fully sustains tho
reputation of tho English Judiciary, as tho groat
conservator of liberty, and ns a legal document,
will attract as much attention in llie United
States, ns in England. By tho action of tlie
Grand Jury, tho officers employed upon the court
martial that ordered Gordon hung, leave the
court without a legal stain upon their reputation,
and this* course secures immunity to Governor
Eyre. But an authoritative judicial opinion
stamps tlie court mnrtiul as illegal, nnd hence
forth, throughout the domains of Her Majesty,
tho execution by tlie military, of civilians, other
wise than on the battle field, will be simple mur
der. The Chief Justice established tlie broad
principle that tho English law recognizes no
means for the punishment of even the most
atrocious criminals, except by trial by jury, nnd
Hint the maintenance of justice, should always
be the grand object of all Govorumont action in
the military as in the judicial branches.”
MARTIAL LAW DEFINED.
The Chief Justice commenced with an elabo
rate review oi tlie facts of tlie Jamaica insurrec
tion, the declaration ol martial law and tho exe
cution of Gordon and otliors, the details of which
have already been published. He then passed
to the question of martial law, and defined wliat
it is nnd wlmt it is not. lie said :
It was more important to inquire what martial
law was, for doctrines of late had been put
forward, to his mind, of tho wildest and most
startling character—doctrines which established
that Britisli subjects not ordinarily subject lo
martial law, might be brought before tribunals
armed with tlie most arbitrary and despotic
power, and in which they had to determine upon
tlie guilt or innocence of persons brought before
them, with a total abandonment ot all those
rules mid principles which were the very essence
of justice and law.
Bucli doctrine as this had been laid down:
“Martial law is arbitrary and uncertain iu ils
nature, so much so that tlie term law cannot be
properly applied to it.” Again : “ When mar
tial law is proclaimed, tlie law is tlie will of the
ruler, or rather, the will of tho ruler is law.
Martial law is, in short, the suspension of all
law." And lie found in print this startling pro
position: “When marlial law is proclaimed
there is no rule of law by which the officers
executing martial law are bound to carry on
their proceedings. * * * * *
It overrides nil other law. It is entirely arbi
trary.”
These were the doctrines propounded by per
sons of some authority. It was high time such
doctrines were brought to the test of jtulicinl de
termination.
At all events, of this lie was sure, tlint if that
were tlie system and law under which Britisli
subjects could be tried for their lives or liberties,
it was time that Parliament should interfere and
put a check upon a jurisdiction so purely arbi
trary and despotic. \\ r e should never forget that
whatever might be the charge upon which a man
was accused, were he the worst traitor ever
brought to the block, until he wus convicted, ami
his life taken, lie was still a subject entitled to
those safeguards that were tlie -very source of
justice. It was impossible to deal properly with
the question of martial law without tracing it to
its fouutnin-hcud.
It was time that Parliament should interfere
and put some check upon a jurisdiction so pure
ly arbitrary, despotic, nnd capricious. The diffi
culty in tins case wus that, with the excep
tion ol theso statements, there was no authority
at all fur any such doctrine; they were unfound
ed and untenable; they were mischievous, and
he might almost say dangerous. Whatever the
charge of which a man was accused, though he
might be llie greatest rebel, till lie was convicted
ho was still a subject, and was entitled, when
brought to justice, to those safeguards which
were the essence ot justice, and .which liad been
found by experience to be necessary to prevent
rash nnd hasty conclusions, to prevent irrever
ence which had the appearance of guilt being
treated as though the guilt were established.
MARTIAL LAW AH APPLIED TO SOLDIERS.
Tho Lord Chief Justice then entered into a
review of the gradual introduction ot martial
law in England, and showed that its adoption
was generally regarded as exceptional, and was
followed by acts exonerating the officials resort
ing to it from legal consequences. Martial law
was proclaimed in the reign of Henry VII., but
(lie whole of the proceedings which took place
in consequence were utterly illegal, for if martial
law could be applied lor the purpose of suppress
ing rebellion, it was perfectly certain that a man
could not be brought to trial lor treason after a
rebellion hud been suppressed.
From the earliest period of English history,
When armies had left tlie country for foreign
war, the strictest ordinances and statutes were
framed for the guidance and rule of the soldier,
till, in James the Second’s time, they assumed
the form ol articles of war, which were substan
tially the articles of wnr now in force. They
were most elaborate and precise, and no one
who took tlie trouble to study them could fail to
he aware of the !uw by which lie was bound.
The High Constable and Earl Marshal hurl,
through the regular procedures of tlie courts of
law, exercised Jurisdiction in all military matters
till Henry VIII., jealous of tlie power of the
High Constable, abolished that office, and sub
sequently it was held that the office of Earl Mar
shal was abolished also. Courts-martial were
then introduced for tlie trial ot military offenses,
nnd they had adopted the old procedure ol Higi
Constable and Earl Marshal. Tho technicalities
>f tlie ordinary law were dispensed with, but the
principles anti rules ol tlie ordinary law, with re
gard to tlie admission mid effect oi evidence,
were acted upon; and perhaps there were no
tribunals iu which justice was administered in u
higher sense than by tlie military tribunals,
which exercised jurisdiction under tlie name oi
court-martial.
MARTIAL LAW AS APPLIED TO CIVILIANS.
If that was the law as applied to the soldier,
wlmt was the law that should be applied to the
civilian V A mutiny on board ship might be put
down nt once; no one was to wait till crime had
been committed iu order to bring it under the
cognizance ot law, hut might put down tlie at
tempt nt once by the application of any amount
of force that might he necessary ; hut this was
not martial law. The question to he considered in
this case was, whether tlie persons not actively en
gaged, nnd who could uot, therefore, be killed on
tlie spot, were to be subjected to a law which was
entirely exceptional. A notion having sprung
up that there was such a thing as martial law,
distinct Irom military law, the ruling of Cope,
Hale, and Blaekstoue had been much misinter
preted, those eminent authorities uever having
dreamed ot military law ns applicable to civil
ians. He had seen lately in print, to his un
bounded astonishment, that the Petition ot Right
ol the lime of Charles I. was of no efficacy be
yond the shores ol this country, and that it
would have no application to the'case of martial
law proclaimed in Jamaica. The individual
who wrote tlmt must have entirely misconceived
the character nnd effect of this statute.
If •*'« petition of right was applicable lo the
question of law in England, it equally applied
to Jamaica. He very niiicli feared tlmt it was
what had been done in the past during tlie pro
clamation of martial law tliut had led to the ex
traordinary notions that existed upon the snh
ject. It m ils well known that iu the time ol
Lord Cornwallis excesses were committed in the
name ol martial law that were beyond the very
shadow of law.
For himself, lie wanted some better authorities
than those at his disposal to satisfy his mind that
British subjects couid be made aineuahle to a ju
risdiction of this kind. At times, when tlie stan
dard of insurrection was raised, aud the founda
tions ot government were shaken, extraordinary
circumstances might la: resorted to; hut under
no circumstances should men be subjected to
trial for their lives unless the essentials of justice
were preserved. It might be at times there were

1808, ami reared in this place. Ho graduated in
Franklin Oollogoln 1820; commenced the prac

attained an cnvlnblo position nt the bar. For
several years he represented Clark county in the
State Legislature with much ability. In 1807 he
removed to Columbus, Mississippi, where ho lias
rcslded sinco leaving liifi native Stab'. He soon
rose to tlie first rank in his profession in his adopt
ed State, and at the lime of hmleath wnscujoy-
ing a lucrative practice, lie bus filled numerous
offices of honor and trust in Mississippi; and was
defeated for Governor ol that State because lie was
opposed to tlie repudiation of her bonds. This
defeat was considered by all just and true men
a greater honor than an election, had he advo

upon tlie otherwise fair escutcheon of Mississippi.
His reputation lor honesty uud integrity was un
