THURSDAY MORNING Jenusry M, 18*8
THE SUPREME COURT.
It is certainly an anomaly in a Republi
can system oi Government that there should
be as a part of that system a few officers,
not elected by the people, nor responsible
to the people for their actions, who have
the power, whenever they have the will, to
declare null and void the work of the
Legislative department. Indeed, the Su
preme Court is so constituted that when
nearly equally divided, one Os the judges
has the power to overturn all the legisla
tion of Congress, even when concurred in
by the President. Thus a people, profes
sing to bo Democratic, are as effectually
subjected to the will ot one man, as the
people under Louis Napoleon’s despotism.
If the one man power of the President’s
veto fails to defeat the will of the people,
as expressed by their representatives, it is
subjected to the ordeal of the Supreme
Court, where again one man may defeat it.
It can hardly Iks called a republican gov
ernment when the acts of the people,
through their representatives, are liable to
be nullified by the dissent of one or two
individuals.
The power of nullifying laws assumed
by the Supreme Court, seems to be a usur
pation of gradual growth. It was com
paratively unknown in the earlier years of
the government; and it is only of late
that frequent resort has been had to that
tribunal to overset laws which were offen
sive to partisan politicians. In fact the
Court has been made m instrument for
party purposes, and lias assumed powers
to repeal larvs, a prerogative for which no
warrant can be found in the Constitution.
In fact the constitutional provision which
authorizes its establishment, expressly
declares that its jurisdiction shall extend
to all cases of law and equity arising under
the laws of the United States. It is made
subservient to those lnws and is created by
them, and has no constitutional right to
subvert them. As well might the thing
formed say to him that formed it, u Why
hast thou made me thus.”
It is rather amusing to witness Georgia
newspapers vindicating the right of the
Supreme Court to rule the country. If
the position taken by those journals is
correct, there is no need for any legislative
or executive departments. The Supreme
Court can enact and execute laws without
the cumbrous and expensive machinery
of other departments. The fathers of the
present generation of Georgians did not
think in this manner. They had repeated
collisions with the Supreme Court, and
always came out victorious—they despised
its decrees and set at naught its mandates.
Speaking * througk their Governor, they
boldly declared; “We will not submit to
the orders of the Court, and any attempt
to enforce them will be met with force
and so, in defiance of the Supreme Court,
they hung Tassells, imprisoned the mis
sionaries, and drove out the Indians. But
it has become necessary that the Court
should be made to subserve the purposes
of the disunion party; therefore, niue
tenths of the press of this State are smit
ten with a sudden reverence for It and its
decisions, and are lauding it as the guar
dian of popular rights and the palladium
of the people’s liberties.
We arc unable to predict what will be
the event of the present movement in
Congress to restrict the power of the Court
in nullifying the laws of the National
Legislature, but it is plain there ought to
become restriction. For sucb a body,
created by law, to be able to declare that
laws are void or voidable, not only endan
gers its own existence, but puts an end to
all fixed legislation, and is detrimental to
liberty and the rights of the citizen.

State Constitution al Con Yen tion

Convention met at the regular hour.
Prayer by the Chaplain. Journal read and
approved.
the Convention resumed the regular order

The matter under consideration was as

Resolved , That we, the Representatives of
the People of Georgia, in Convention assem
bled, respectfully represent to the Congress
of the United States, that it is essential to
the successful execution of the Reconstruc
tion laws that the Provisional Government
of this State should be executed by such
persons only as are made eligible by the
following clause of the 6th section of the
“ Act to provide for the more efficient gov
ernment of the rebel States,” viz: “ And
no person shall be eligible to auy office
under any such Provisional Government
who would he disqualified from holding
office under the provisions of the sth article
•f said Constitutional Amendment." Said
section 2d of said amendment being, “No
person shall be eligible who, having pre
viously taken an oath as a member of Con
gress, or as an officer of the United States,
or as a member of any State Legislature, or
as an Executive er Judicial officer of any
State, to support the Constitution of the
United States, shall have engaged in insur
rection or rebellion against the same, or
ssven aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”
rad we therefore respectfully recommend
that, this Convention be clothed with an
operative authority the same as delegated
to the District Commander, in section 2d of
the Supplemental Reconstruction Act,
passed July 19, 1867.

this Convention shall hold office in the
Provisional State Government.”
SVHSTITt’Ta OV MR. WHiTKLY.
Preamble and resolution* in reference to the
reorganisation of the State Government,
the removal of disabilities, and the modifi
cation of the Test Oath.
Whkueas, The Reconstruction Acts
recognise the existeuco of a Government
within the limits of Georgia, submit to the
Military Commander ol the District and the
paramount authority of Congress, under
which certain officials hold office; and
whereas, the time for which said officials
were elected, as set forth in the laws allowed
to operate within said limits, has expired,
and said officials hold only by reason of a
failore to ptovide their successors; and
whereas, a great many of said officials are
hostile to, and are insidiously using their
influence against the restoration of Georgia
to the Union, and by so doing are not only
seriously retarding the work of reconstruc
tioo, but also materially affecting the pros
pects of the State ; therefore,
Revoked, That the Convention (lo hereby
request the Legislative Department of the
Government of the United otates to author
ize this body to declare vacant the Chief
Executive office of the State, and to fill the
same, as well us to provide for the removal,
through the Chief Executive officer of the
State thus selected, of all persons wno are
hostile to reconstruction and the filling of
such vacancies by said Executive.
Resolved, That the Convention, in justice
to the friends of Reconstruction under the
Reconstruction Acts, do hereby request the
Department aforesaid to relieve all such
of existing disabilities, that they may be
eligible to fill the vacancies thus created.
Resolved, That the Convention do further
request the modification of the “Test Oath,”
so ns to admit of all persons who have
aided or abetted the late war against the
United States holding office therein, pro
vided such persons heartily regret the past,
and are earnestly attached to, and determined
to labor (or, the reunion of the States on the
basis of the Reconstruction Acts.
Resolved , That a copy of the foregoing
preamble and resolutions be forwarded by
the President of the Convention to the
President oi the United States, the Presi
dent of the Senate, and the Speaker of the
House of Representatives.
Mr. Bi.ouxt was called to the Chair,
when Mr. Parrottt resumed his remarks
in opposition to the resolution. At the
close of his remarks,
Mr. Bradley offered a substitute for the
original and amendments, which was ruled
out of order.
Mr. Conley moved the previous question,
which motion, on division, was sustained,
and the resolution and amendments were
read.
The question recurred upon the substitute
by Mr. Whitely, and the yeas and nays were
called, and resulted—yeas 95, nays 35.
The question of the adoption ol the reso
lution, as amended, then came up, and on a
call of the yeas and nays resulted—yeas 92,
nays 44.
So the resolution, as amended, was
adopted.
Mr. Conley moved to suspend the rules
to consider the following resolution :
Resolved, That from and after this date
there shall be an afternoon session of this
Convention, commencing at half past three
o’clock.
The motion to suspend was lost.

PERKY DAVIS’
VEGETABLE
PAIN KILLER.
Y\/ E BEG T/fcAVE TO CALL THE ATTEN
* V TION of the public to this long tested and
unrivalled
FAMILY MEDICINE.
The PAIN KILLER is a purely vegetable
compound ; and while it is a most efficient Rem
edy for Pain, it is a perfectly safe medicine, even
in the most unskillful hands, for
SUMMER GQMPPAINT,
or any other form of Bowel Disease in children
or adults. It is an almost certain cure, and has,
without doubt, been more successful in curing
the various kinds of
CHOLERA
than any other known remedy, or even the most
skillful physician. In India, Africa and China,
where this dreadful disease is ever more or less
prevalent, the
PAIN KILLER
is considered by the natives, as well as European
residents in those climates,
A SURE REMEDY.
Asa Tonic for the Stomach, it is unrivalled.
A sow doses will relievo severe cases of
INDIGESTION,
and it is ofton a perfect cure for
DYSPEPSIA
in its most aggravated forms. Its tonic and
stimulating properties, arousing the systom to
vigorous action, render it a most effectual
cure for
COLDS AND COUGHS,
when used aocordiug to directions.
For external application, it is unsurpassed by
any medical preparation known.
RHEUMATISM
and Neuralgic Affections arc quickly relievod
and open cured by it. Any soreness in the
Muscles or Joints can bo relieved by its applica
tion. It cures instantly tho most violont
TOOTHACHE.
It should always bo kopt near at hand, to be
usod in cases of severe
BURNS OR SCALDS.
If applied immodiatoly, according to directions,
it will give instant relief, and prevent blistering.
It is peculiarly adapted to tho wants of
SEAMEN,
and persons making soa voyages, and no vessel
should sail without a supply of it. Ono captain
writes us:
“I have made sovcral voyages—ofton with
emigrants—and though I keep a good medieino
chest, and have several times had a good doal of
sickness on board, I havo found the Pain Killer so
efficient in all cases as to ontiroly precludo the
use of all other medicines.’’
One positive proof of its efficacy is, that the
sales have constantly increased, and wholly
upon its own merits. Tho effect of the Pain
Killer upon tho patient, when taken internally
in oases of Colds, Cough, Bowol Complaints,
Cholera, Dysentory, and other affections of the
systom, has boon truly wonderful, and has won
for it a namo among tho medical preparations
that can never bo forgotten. Its suooess iu re
moving Pain, as an oxtornal remedy, in cases of
Burns, Bruisos, Sores, Sprains, Cuts, Sting of
Insects, and other causes of suffering, has se
cured for it such a host of testimony, ns an
almost infallible remedy, lhat it will bo handed
down to posterity as one of tho greatest medical
discoveries pf the nineteenth century. Tho
magical effects of the Pain Killer, when taken
or used according to directions, arc certain.
You have only to ho suro that you buy the
genuine article and adhere to tho directions in
Us uso, and you will admit Us wonderful medi
cinal properties.
Tho genuino Perry Davis’ Pain Killer is now
put up In pnnucl bottles with tho words Davis
Vegetable Pain Kilter blown in the glass ; and
with two stool engraved labels on each bottle—
one an excellent likeness of Perry Davis, tho
origiual inventor of tho medicine, tho other a
steel engraved note of hand—none others can be
relied upon us genuine.
Tho Pain Killer is sold by Druggists and
Grocer*. PERRY DAVIS A BON,
