Jb the House of UepresentaUrcs of tho United
State) :
I reliirn herewith tho hill entitled nn act hii|>-
pleincntitry to act entitled nn net'tt> provide for
Hie more efficientgovernment. of lliiuoliSl Sinter.,
pawed on tho second day of March, 1807, nmi
the net supplementary thertlto.V.iwseU on the 23,1
day of March, 1807, and will state as briefly ns
posslhle some ot the reasons which prevent' me
Irom giving my approval. This Is one ot a
scries of measures passed hy Congress during
the last tour months on the subject of recoil-
slruelion. Tint message returning the act ot the
second of March last, states at length my objec
tions to tho passage ot that bill. They apply
equally well to this bill now before me, and I alii
content to rcler to them and reiterate my con
viction that they ure sound and unanswerable.
There are some points peculiar in this bill
which I will proceed at once to consider. The
tirst section proposes to declare the true intent
and meaning, iu some particulars, of the two
prior acts on this subject. It is declared that
iho Intent of these acts was first, that the exist
ing governments in the ten rebel States were not
legal 8lalo governments ; and second, I bat tlicrc-
alter said governments were to be continued in
all respects subject to the military commanders
ot the respective districts, ami to the paramount
authority of Congress. Congress may, hy a do-,
elaratory net, fix upon a prior net a conslruetffm
altogether at variance with its apparent mennhlg,
and from time to time, ut least,-whetpsaid^con-
struction is fixed, tho original act will lie con
strued and mean exuctiywhat. it is staled to
mean by the declaratory statute; there will be
then, from the time this hill may become a law,
no doubt and no question as to the relation !n
which tho existing governments in those States,
called the provisional governments, stand to
wards tlie United States. As the relations stood
before the declaratory act, these governments, it
is true, were made subject to absolute military
authority iu many important respects, but not in
all, the lauguage of the act being, "subject to
the milibtry authority of the United States as
hereinafter prescribed.”
By the sixth section ot the original act, the
governments were made in all respects subject to
the paramount authority of the United Slates.—
Now, by this declaratory act, it appears that
Congress did not, by the original act, Intend to
limit the military authority to any of the particu
lar subjects therein prescribed, but meant to
mako it universal. Thus, over all these States,
this military government is now declared to have
unlimited authority. It is no longer confined to
the preservation ot the public, peace, the admin
istration of criminal laws, the registration ot
voters, and the superintendence of elections; but
in all respects, is asserted to be paramount to the
existing civil governments. It is impossible to
conceive any stato of society more intolerable
than this, and yet it is to this condition that
twelve millions of American citizens are reduced
hy the Congress ot the United Slates. Over
every foot of tho immense territory occupied hy
these American citizens the Constitution of tho
baited States, theoretically, is iu lull operation.
It binds all the people there, and should protect
them, yet they are denied every one of its sacred
guarantees. Of what avail will it be for any one
■ a the Southern people, when arrested hy a tile
ot soldiers, to ask for the cause of the arrest or
tor the production of the warrant? Of what
avail will it be to ask tor the prfvdego of hail,
when in military custody, which knows no such
tiling as bail? of what avail to demand a trial
by jury, the prosecutiou ot witnesses, a copy of
tue indictment, the privilege of counsel, or tlmt
greater privilege, the writot habeas corpus? The
veto of the original bill of Lite 2d of .March was
based on two distinct grounds—the. interference
ot Congress in duties pertaining to the reserved
powers of the States and the establishment ot
military tribunals lor the trail ot citizens iu time
ot peace. Tile impartial reader (it lust message
will understand all it contains with respect to
military despotism and martial law has reterence
especially to the tearful power, conferred on the
district commanders to displace the criminal
courts and assume jurisdiction to try and punish
hy military boards; that, potentially, the suspen
sion ot tho writ of habeas corpus was martial law
and military despotism.
The net now before me not only declares that
the intent was to confer such military authority,
but to confer unlimited authority over all the
other courts of the State, and over all officers ot
the State, legislative, executive and Judicial.—
Not content with the general grant of Congress
in the second section of this hill, it especially
gives to each military commander power to sus
pend or relieve lrom office or from performance
of official duties and exercise of official powers,
nay officer or person holding or professing to
hold or exercise civil or military offico in such
district under any power, elective, appointive,
or derived from or granted by or claimed under
any so-called State or the government thereof,
or any municipal or other division thereof A
power that hitherto all the departments of the
Federal Government, acting iu concert or sepa
rately, have not dared to exercise, is hero at
tempted to be conferred upon a subordinate mil-
uurv officer. To him as a military officer ol the
Federal Government, is given the power, and
supported by a ■ sufficient military force, to re
move every civil officer of the United States.—
\Vhat next Y The district commander who has
thus displaced the civil officer is authorized to
fill the vacancy hy the detail of an officer or sol
dier of the army, or hy the appointment ot some
other person. This military officer, whether an
officer or soldier, is to perlorm tlie duties of such
officer or person so suspended or removed. In
other words, an officer or soldier ot the army is
transferred into a civil officer; lie may be made
a Governor, a Legislator, or a Judge ; however
unfit he may deem himself tor such civil duties,
he must obey the order of tho officer it detailed ;
must go on the Supremo Bench of the State
with the same prompt obedience as if detailed In
act in a court martial. The soldier, it deluded
to act as a Justice of tho Peaco, must obey as
quickly as if detailed for picket duty.
What is the character of such military-civil
officer? The bill declares that lie shall perform
the duties of the civil office to which lie is detail
ed ; it is clear, however, that lie does not lose ins
position in the military service; he is still mi ol-
tieer or soldier, and he is still subject to the rules
and regulations which govern tlie army, and must
yield due respect to his superiors. 1 lie clear in
tent of this section is that tlie officer or soldier
detailed to fill a civil office must execute its du
ties according to the laws ot the State; it lie is
appointed a Governor of a State, he iu to execute
Hie duties as provided by tho laws of that Stale,
and lor tlie time being his military character is
to be suspended in liis uew civil capacity. It he
is appointed a State Treasurer, lie must at once
assume custody and disbursement of tlie funds ol
the State, and perform the duties proscribed ae
■ ording to the law of tlie Slate lor lie is entrust
ed with other official power. Holding the office
ol Treasurer, aud entrusted with iunds, it happens
lie is required hy tlie State laws to entui iiuo
bonds with security and to take an oath of office ;
yet from beginning of the bill to tlie end, there
is no provision ot any bond or oath of offico, oi
for any siugle qualification required under the
State law, such as residence, citizenship or any-
^Tbeoniy oath is that provided for in the Dili
section, by the terms of which every one detail
ed or appointed to apy civil office in a State is re
quired to take the oath ot ollico presciihed b>

supposed that this bill might require conjfce-
tion, and they, therefore, applied this rule. Tut
where [s tho construction to eonto from ? Cer
tainly no oho can bo iu want of construction
more than uu officer or a soldier dctnllcd lor
civil service, perhaps tlie most important in a
State, with the duties of which lie is altogether
unfamiliar; and this hill says lie shall not he
hound, in Ids action, liv the opinion ot any civil
officer of The United Slates. The duties of the
office nro altogether civil; and when he nsks for
obedience he cun only ask tho opinion of an
other military officer, who, perhaps, understands
ns little ol liis duties as lie does himself, and ns
to liis action he Is answerable to the military
authority, and tlie military authority alone.—
Strictly, no opinion of any other civil officer 1
than a Judge ]ms a binding force {'but these
military appointees would not lie bound even hy
ft judicial opinion—they'might very well say,
even when their notion is in conflict with liic
Supremo Court fit the United Spites,lliat, “That
court is composed of civil officers of the United
States, and we are not bound to conform our ac
tion to.any opinion of any such authority.” *
This hill ami the acts to which it is supple
mental are all founded upon tlie assumption
that these ten communities aro not States, aud
their governments ate not legal. Throughout
the legislation upon this subject they are called
rebel States, and in this particular they are
denoliihmted so-called States, and the vice' ol
illegality is declared to pervade all of them.
The obligations ol consistency hind a legislative
body as well as the individuals who compose it.
U is now too late to say these toil communities
ire not Slates. Declarations to the coutinry
made in these three acts are contradicted again
mid again by repeated acts of legislation by Con
gress from tlie year 18(11 to tlie year 18(17.
During that period, while the States were in
situnl rebellion, and alter that rebellion was
brought to a close, they have again and again
been recognized ns States of the Union. Hep.
resctitnlivesliave been apportioned to them, they
have been divided into judicial districts for the
holding of District and Circuit Comte ot the
United States, as States ot the Union only can
he districted. The last act on this subject was
passed .Inly 23d, 1807, by which every one of
the ten States was arranged into districts and
departments. They have been called oil by ,,, , . ,
Congress to act through their Legislatures upon 1 :L < :; " j >(il 111 duties in a State. It Con
the fast two amendments to the Constitution of g"’* 1 could not vest in a Judge of one ol these
States any judicial authority under the United
States by direct enactment, how ean it aceom-

all vacancies occurring in these States by death,
resignation, or otherwise. Tho military appointee
is thus required to perform tlie duties of a civil
officer according to tlie laws of tlie State, and as
such, fequired to take tlie oalli for tho lime being
of a civil officer. What is ids character? Is lie
a civil officer of the State, or a civil officer ol
the United States? Where is the Federal power,
under tlie Constitution, which authorises Ids ap
pointment hy any Federal officer ? If, however,
lie is to ho considered a civil officer ol the Uni
ted States, and his appointment and oatli would
seem to indicate, where is the authority lor
Ids appointment by tlie Constiution? The
power of appointment of alt officers of the
United States, civil - or military, when not pro
vided for ill the Constitution, is vested ,in the
I’rcslfient, by nhd-wllli tlie advice and consent
of the Senate; with this exception, that Con
gress, hy law, may vest the appointment ot such
inferior officers as they think proper in tho Pres
ident alone, in the courts ol tlie l;iw or in tlie
heads of departments. But by this bill these
are to lie considered as officers within the mean
ing of the Constitution. It does not provide for
their appointment by the President alone, or. by
courts of law, or hy heads of departments, hut
vests tlie appointments in a subordinate officer.
Sir it we put this question and li.v the character
of lliisjnililary appointee either way, this pro
vision of the bill is squarely opposed to tlie Con
stitution. Take tlie case of a soldier appointed
to perlorm the office or Judge in one ol these
Stales, and as such, to administer the proper laws
of the State. Where isthe authority to lie loiiml
in the Constitution tor vesting in ii military or
executive officer strict judicial functions to he
exercised-under tho Slate law? It has been,
again, decided by the Supreme Court of the
United States that nets of Congress which have
attempted to vest executive powers in the jtidi
ciul courts of Judges of the United States are
not warranted hy the Constitution. If Congress
cannot clothe a Judge with merely executive
duties, how can they clothe an officer or soldier
ot the army villi judicial duties over citizens
who are not in the mililary or naval service? So,
too, it has been repeatedly decided that Congress
cannot require a State officer, executive or judi
cial, to perform any duty unjoined on him hy a
law of tlie United Slates, nor can Congress con-

the United States. As States they have ratified
au amendment which required the votes of
twenty-seven States of the thirty-six composing
the Union; when the requisite twenty-seven
votes were given in favor of that amendment,
seven votes of which were given by seven of
these States, it was proclaimed to be a part ol
the Constitution ol the United States, and slave
ry was declared to exist no-louger within the
United Stales or any place subject to their
jurisdiction. It follows, as an inevitable conse
quence, that in nine States slavery yet exists,
hut it does not exist in these seven States, for
I hoy have abolished it also in their own Stato
Constitutions ; but Kentucky not, having done
so, it could still remain in that State; tint iu
truth, it this assumption that these States have
no legal Slate Governments be true, then the
abolition of slavery hy these illegal govern
ments binds no one, for Congress now denies
to these States tlie power to abolish slavery by
denying to them tho power to elect a legal
State Legislature or frame a constitution for any
purpose, even lor such a purpose as the aboli
tion of slavery. As to the other constitutional
amendnciits, having reference to suffrage, it
happens these Stales have not accepted it. The
consequence is ii iius never been proclaimed or
understood even by Congress to be a part of
l lie Constitution of the United States.
The Senate of tlie United States has repeat
edly given its sanction to the appointment ol
judges aud district attorneys (or every one ol
court. So, too, both Jlouses of Congress have
passed appropriation bills to pay all these judges,
attorneys, and officers oi tlie United States tor
(xerclstng their functions in these States.—
Again, in tlie machinery of tlie internal revenue
I iws, all tlieso States are described, not as Ter-
1 itories. but as States. So much for continuous
) gislalive recognition. The instances cited,
however, tall far short ot all that might be enu
merated. The executive recognition, as is well
I- nowiq has been frequent and unvarying, and
the same may be said as to judicial recognition.

In aceoidaiico with an act ol Congress, sup
plementary to an act to provide a more efficient
government tin- the rebel States, fee.., dated
March 2d, 18117, the following arrangements are
herein made.Ibr the registration of voters iu the
Slates of'Georgia and Alabama:
J. The Suites ot Georgia and Alabama are di
vided into registration districts, numbered and
bounded, as hereinaller described.
II. A Board of Itegisiration id herein appoint
ed lor each district, as above nn nlioiied, lo con
sist (if two white Registers, and one colored
Register. In the Slate of Georgia, where only
the two while Registers are designated Hi this
order, it is .directed licit tliestj -while Registers
in each district immediately select,-and CaUSc
lobe duly qualified, it competent colored mail
lo complete the Board of Ueggdration, itud re
port his name and postollicc address,without de
lay, to Colonel 0. C. Sibley, dbmlmindfiig district
ol Georgia, at Macon, Georgia.
III. Each Register will lie required to take
and subscribe the dal h prescribed by Congress,
by an act dated July 2, 18(12, and nn additional
oath In discharge laillifully Hie duly of Register
under tlie late acts ol Congress, it is not be
lieved that, any of the appointees, liereinalter
designated, will he iiualilc lo lake the test oatli
above mentioned; Blank forms of these oaths
will he sent to the appointees at once, and on be
ing executed and returned to the Superintend
ents ol State registration, their commissions as
Registers will he issued, and lorwarded lo them
immediately.
IV. In order to secure a full registration of vo
ters, it is determined to lix the compensation of
Registers according to the general rule adopted
in taking the census Iu tlie cities, Hie eompen-
lion is fixed at filtceii cents for each recorded
voter; iu the most sparsely sell led counties aud
districts, at forty cents pet voter. The compen
sation will he graduated between tlieso limits,
according to the density of the population, and
the facilities (d cnmmimicntinn. Ten cents per
mile will lie allowed lor IranspoiTation ol Regis
ters oil* the lines of railroads or steamboats, and
,,, , v ,, | five cents per mile,.when travel is done ou rail-
let power upon an executive officer ofthe United roads and steamboats.
y |" ' *'' h "" 1 ' ' 1,1 " r '"" V. It is hereby made the duty of all Registers,
and they will lie expected to perform it strictly,
to explain to all persons, who have not hereto
fore enjoyed the right of suffrage, what are their
plish tlie same thing indirectly hy removing a
State Judge and putting an officer of Hie United
States in ids place? To me those considerations
are conclusive of the uncoustitutiouulity of this
part ol the bill bclore me, and I earnestly com
mend their consideration to tlie deliberate judg
ment of Congress.
Within a period less than a year, the legis
lation ol Congress lias attempted to strip tlie
Executive Department of the government of
some of its essential powers. The Constitu
tion, and tlie oath provided in it, devolve
upon the President the power and tlie duty to
see Hint the laws are faithfully executed- The
Constitution, hi order to carry out this power,
gives him the choice of the agents, und makes
them sub eet lo liis control and supervision.—
But in Hie execution of these laws the constitu
tional obligation upon the President remains,
hut the power to exercise tlmt constitutional duty
is ctlectually taken away. Tlie Military Com
mander, as to the power of appointment, made
to take the place ol tlie President, and the Gen
eral of the army tho place of the Senate, and any
attempt oil the part of Hie President to assert
his own constitutional power, may, under pre
tense of law, he met by official insubordination. It
is to be feared that these military officers, look
ing to the ’authority given by these laws, rattier
tliim lo the letter of Hie Constitution, will recog
nize no authority but tlie Commander ot the
District, and the General of the* army. If there
iiliraiT^itoW^“a‘^'tfcnntitWtBfir, “-trims..'
1 hold the Chief Executive authority of the
United States, whilst the obligation rests upon
me to see tlmt all the laws are faithfully executed,
i can never willingly surrender tlmt trust, ortlio
power given for its execution. I can never give
my assent to he made responsible tor tlie faithful
execution of laws, and at tlie same time surren
der that trust, anil Hie powers which accompany
it to any other executive officer, high or low, or
to any number of executive officers. Ittliis exe
cutive trust, vested by the Constitution in tlie
President, is to lie taken from him and vested in
a subordinate officer, the responsibility will be
with Congress in clothing tlie subordinate with
unconstitutional power, and with tlie officer who
political rights and privileges, and the necessity
ol exercising them upon ail proper occasions.
VI. Tlie name of each voter shall appear in
tlie list ol voters, for tlie precinct or ward in
AVbieli lie resides; and in eases where voters
have been unable to register, whilst tlie Boards
ol Registration were in the wards or precincts,
where such voters live, opportunity will be given
to register at tlie enmity seats ol their respective
counties, at a specified lime, ot which due notice
will be given ; but the names of all voters, thus
registered, will be placed on the lists ot voters of
their respective precincts.
VII. The Boards of Registration will give due
notice, so tlmt it may reach all persons entitled
lo register, ol the date when they will be in each
election precinct; the time they will spend in it;
and the place where the registration will be
made : and upon Hie completion of the registra
tion for each county, the Board ot Registration
will give notice tlmt they will be present, lor
three successive days at the county seat ol such
county, to register such Voters, ns have tailed to
register, or been prevented, from registering in
their respective precincts, and to bear evidence
in tlie eases of voters, rejected by the Registers
io tlie several precincts, who may desire to pre
sent testimony in their own behalf.

the cessation of jurisdiction, but they I this legislation. It is a great public wrong to
intiuued from term to term until tlie re- | i„k 0 from Hie President powers contcrred upon

more flagrant and more daugerous when tlie
powers, so taken from tlie President, are confer

Over nearly one-third of tlie States of tlie
Union, military power, regulated by no fixed

if no insurrection tiad intervened. New cases

SPECIAL NOTICE TO TUE LADIES.
I T lias long been felt and acknowledged that a Washing
Machine would yet be invented that would bo sim
pic, cheap, and more effective than any of the Machines
heretofore ollered to the public. Such a Machine is now
olForcd without fear of competition.
1st. Ouu woman will do more with a Machine than
six can do without it. It will wash five dirty shirts
(including wristbands and collars) perfectly clean in from
lour to eight minutes—this we guarantee, or uo sale.
2d. It requires no skill to operate It, as a girl 13 years
old lias washed (iu Atlauta) FOUR DOZEN PIECES IN
ONE HOUR I
3d. It takes ut least one-third less soup, und will pay
for Itself every year in the saving of clothing, as it acta
delicately ou tho fabrics tiiat bank bills can be washed

judgment and decree delivered by him in tlmt ond tlie rod of despotism will he broken, the
court was coram non judice and void. 1
Another ground on which the reconstruction
nets are attempted to he construed is litis: That
these ten States arc conquered territory—that
the constitutional relation in which they stood j
ns states toward Hie Federal Government prior
to the rebellion bus given place to a now relation
—tlmt their territory is conquered territory, ami I
their citizens conquered people, mid in this-ndw
rchitiim Congress can govern them by military i
p„ wt .r A title by conquest stands on clear
ground. It is a new title acquired by war, and !
it applies not only to territory, or to goods or |
movable things regularly captured in war called j
booty, or if taken hy individual soldiers, plunder.
Tin re is not ii foot ot land In any of these ton i
Stall s which the United Stales hold hy conquest, r T*y ti'
.,,1,1 only such laud as did not belong to either ol | ■*-*•*• v
these Slates or to any individual owner—I mean |
such lands ns did belong to the pretended gov
ernment culled the Confederate States—these
kinds we lay claim to hold hy conquest. As to
oil other lands or territory, whether belonging to
the States or individuals, tlie Federal Govern
im lit has now no more title or right to it than
it lmil hufore the rebellion. Our own forts, ar-
1' iials, navy yards, custom houses, aud other i
Federal property situated in these States is now |
],-Ul not hy the title ol the conqueror, Imt by an
old title acquired hy purchase or condemnation
for public use with compensation to former own
ers. We have not conquered these places, hut
simply rc-possosBcd them. If wu require more
sites lor forts, custom houses or oilier public use,
we must acquire title to them hy purchase
or appropriation in regular mode. At this
moment the United States, in the acquisition ol
sites lor national cemeteries in these States ac
quires title ill the same way. Tho Federal Courts
sit in court houses owned or leased hy tlie Unt
ied States, not in court houses of the States —
Tlie United States pay each of tho States for Hie
nseol the jails. Finally,the United States levies
its direct taxes, aud Us internal revenue upon
Hm properly in these States, including the pro
ductions of the lands within their territorial limits,
n il tiv way of contribution in tlie character ot a
conquest, hut in tho regular way of taxation, un-
d r the same law s which apply to all the Slates
, the Union, from first lo last. During the ic.
hellion and since, the title of each of these States
to |lie* lnmU and public buildings owned by them
I, ls never hern disturbed, and not a toot of it Ims
ever been acquired by the United States, even
under a title ol confiscation, and not a foot has
ever been taxed under Federal law.
In conclusion, 1 must respectfully cal! the at
tention of Congress to the consideration of one
more qu' Fion, arising under thto blH^ It vests
law for officers of tho United States. 1 bus an
officer ot thenrmy of Hie United Slates, detailed
U> till a civil office iu one of these States, gives
no official bond aud takes no official oatli {or the
performance of his new duties, hut as a civil oi-
licer of the Stato only takes some oatli which he
Ims already taken as a military officer ol the
United States. He is at best hut a mililary
officer performing civil duties, and the authority
under which lie acta is Federal authority only,
mid the Inevitable result is Hint tlie r lateral
i toverumeut, by Hie agency of its own officer*,
in elfect assumes the civil government ol Hie
State. . ., ,,
A singular contradiction is apparent here. Con
gress declares these local State governments to
imj illegal governments, and then provides that
lb cue illegal governments shall lie earned on by
Federal officers, who are to perlorm the very
duties imposed upon its own officers hy tin. ille
gal State authority. It certatuiy wouid i» a
novel spectacle it Congress Hliould atienip <
carry on a legal State government hy the agency
of its own officers. It is yet more strange that
Congress attempts to sustain and carry on an
illegal State government by tlie same i'edcra oiicbiioo ...„
agency. Iu ibis connection, I must ' , ,p e niinary' commander, subject only to the
