NationalEeptiblicnn AUOUBTA. OA 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. From the Atlanta Opinion.] State Constitution al Con Yen tion Tuesday, Jan. 21, 1868. Convention met at the regular hour. Prayer by the Chaplain. Journal read and approved. the Convention resumed the regular order —the consideration of the resolution of Mr. Ashburn. asking that Congress confer upon the Convention the authority delegated to the District Commanders in the 2d section of the Supplemental Heconstructiou Act, passed July 19th, 1867, and for other pur poses therein named, with the substitutes offered by Messrs.

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.

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.

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, Proprietors, jnlO—2m No. 74 High at., Providence, K.I. SPECIAL NOTICES.
