The Necessity of Two Parties In all governments of the people there will necessarily be two parties. As the minds of men are constituted, there will be a difference —and a wide difference at that—of opinion as to the policy which would best promote the public interests. Such a division is necessary to a healthy administration of public affairs. The fact that the Outs are watching the Ins always re strains the latter to some extent. It cannot be denied that in the general demoralization there are few officials that will not bear watching, no matter, to what party they may belong. If not dishonest themselves, they are usually surrounded by partisan suckers who are proficient in the rascally art by which the serpent overcame the Mother of Mankind. Two parties being both beneficial and inevitable in the very nature of things, it naturally follows that our beauti{;d city will form no exception to the rule—that there will be a divis ion of opinion among our people on the political questions of the day. In this division a particular side may have a largely preponderating major ity. If so, that majority will be abun dantly able to take care of itself. The generous aiyl truly brave of the ma jority will respect the minority.— They will restrain the vicious and thoughtless of their own party, by setting a manly example of toleration. We have heard many protestations, since the election, from leading Demo crats, which leads us to hope we are to 1 U-A • -- ’1 toleration. We trust the hopes of our most sanguine friends may be realized. Assuredly, the Repu blican will place no stone in the way. Ineffably Mean.—We find the following extract in the Covington (Ga.) Enterprise, which that paper says is the conclusion of an article from the Atlanta Era, “abusive” of the National Republican: With tliis, we can dismiss the Reuuli.k an. Its extreme and unreasonable, not to ®y crazy course, has frutilized it for co-operation with any movement tliat seeks the good of the country. Men have lost confidence in its judgment, and are afraid to be led by it now. The Era, containing the article of which this is the conclusion, never reached our office. We suspected that that paper had been denouncing us, and intentionally neglected to mail us a copy of the papers containing its assaults. 11 wc are correct in this surmise, we have this only to say, that the editor of the Era is the only man in Georgia capable of such ineffable meanness. . . Passed Marching.—The Lagrange •O “ Jieporlcr inquires whether wc inarch with negroes? No—our inarching days have long been over. We know 7 that many of our Democratic friends marched to the polls with colored men on Wednesday last, and were very' glad to do so, at that. We didn’t blame them. A Difficult Job.—An exchange says the President will haVjj 53,000 officials under his control. He will find their control more difficult than it was to control the Federal army during the war.

Editor —Recogniiting the fact that reconstruction, in Georgia, is complete ; that the State is restored to full fellowship in the Union qf Stales known, as the United States of America. 1 beg leave, through votir columns, to present to the jieople of Georgia and of the I nited States, an other question of little less magnitude or importance than the great problem of reconstruction itself, ami in some degree, allied to it; viz.: Has Georgia, since herireadmissioti into the i nion, violated the Four teenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States? I assume the affirmative of this proposition, and propose to establish its truth by the following fart and arguments: The said Amendment is as follows : Section 1. All persons liom or natural ized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State stall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immu nities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty or property, without due process ol law, her deny to any person within its juris diction the equal protection of the laws. Sec. 2. |This Section does not bear upon the question, and is therefore omitted.] Sec. 3. N<> person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or Elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, 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 or .Judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Con gress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability. Sec. 4. [This Section, being irrelevant, is also omitted.] Sec. 5. Congress shall have power to en force, by appropriate legislation, the provi sions of this article. Each of the two Houses of the General Assembly of Georgia,’ at a session thereof convened and held at the Capital, in the‘city of Atlanta, Ga„ during a part of the month of July, all tlie months of August and September, and a part of the month of October,. 1868, certain members thereof who had been legally elected thereto, sworn, and had taken their seats therein as such, were afterwards, by resolution of the House wherein they were bo seated, ejected therefrom, solely upon the ground and for the reasoq that they and each of them had in their veins more than one eighth of African blood ; that they and each of them were persons of African descent; while they and each of them were, under the Constitution and laws of the State of Georgia, in force at the time of their election and expulsion as aforesaid, eligible to seats in the said General Assembly; anft, by the adop tion of such resolution iu each of said Houses, and by force thereof, the fol lowing named persons, members as aforesaid, were so declared ineligible and ejected from their scat.-, to wit: From the House of Representatives: T. M. Allen, member from Jasper •county; E. Baring, from Hancock; T. G. Campbell, from Mclntosh ; G. 11. Clow er, from Monroe; A. Colby, from Greene; J. T. Costin, from’ Tal bot ; Monday Floyd, from Morgan; 8. Gardner, from Warren; W. A. —, ...... .lu..,vuvi», v. u. Houston, from Bryan; Philip Joiner, from Dougherty; George Linder, from Laurens; R. Lumpkin, from Macon; Romulus Moore, from Columbia ; Pe ter O’Neal, from Baldwin; Jas. Porter, from Chatham; A. Richardson, from Clarke; J. M. Simms, from Chatham; Abram Smith, from Muscogee; Alex ander Stone, from Jefferson; 11. M. Turner, from Bibb: J. Warren, from Burke; Samuel Williams, from Har ris; M. Claiborne, from Burke, and T. P. Beard, from Richmond county. From the Senate : T. G. Campbell, Sr., from the 2d Senatorial District, and George Wallace, from the 20th Senatorial District. In support of the foregoing propo sition, I submit the following sub proposition, to show that the above named colored members were ille gally deprived of their seats, by “making or enforcing a law which abridged the privileges or immuni ties of citizens of the United States." Are colored citizens of Georgia eligible* to scats in the General ri.s-- sembly thereof? In the examination of this auxiliar-v question, 1 propose to be governed solely by the plain, inflexible letter of the law, swerved from a straight line of impartial investigation, neither by the restraints of fear, the beguilements. of prejudice, nor the allurements of passion. I would premise, in the first place, that the question is not, ought colored persons to have seats in the General Assembly? It is not whether or not they are fitted physically, mor ally, or mentally to that position, but simply, “Have they a right, under existing laws, to seats in the General- Assembly of this State?” In other words, “Are they eligible ? Can they be legally chosen as such? Preteemitting, then, all questions and arguments' as to their fitness for the discharge of the duties of legisla tors, I proceed to consider the ques tion in its restricted, legal sense—the naked right, under the Constitution and laws of Georgia, for them to hold such position. First, I submit this proposition : Under .the Constitution and laws of Georgia, all citizens of this State, without regal'd to race or color (subject to certain exceptions and restrictions common to lioth races), have a like, equal right to be chosen members of the General As- "Eligible. —l use this word in its legal sense only, viz: qwtlifled to be chotcii ; not as expressing fitness to discharge the duties of an office; but only as expressing the right to lie appointed or elected to any office or position. Napoleon Dan WILL BE HERE ON Monday, December 7th- WAIT FOR HIM .’ sembly; I Kith alike are eligible there to, w hile both alike arc subject to the same disabilities, and to no others. The first point to be settled, then, is, who are citizens of Georgia? Sec tion 2d of article Ist of the Constitu tion, styled in that instrument fauda »/« ntal principles, is as follows: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and residents in this State, arc hereby declared citizens of this State ; and no laws shall be made or enforced which shall abridge the privileges or immunities .of citizen- of the United States, or of this State, or deny to any person within its jiyisdic tion the equal protection of its laws ; and it shall lx the duty of the Gener al Assembly, by appropriate legisla tion, to protect every person in the due cnjoyihea: of the rights, privileges ami immunities guaranteed in this section.” .This provision of the Constitution without doubt, and beyond all contro versy, confers citizenship alike upon black und white persons. It applies equally and alike to both races. Section 1648 of the Code of Georgia is in these words: “Among the rights of citizens, are the enjoyment of per sonal security, of personal liberty, pri vate property and the disposition thereof, the elective franchise, the right to hold office, to appeal to the Courts, to testify as a witness, to per forin any civil function, and to keep and bear arras.” The next section in the Code, viz: Section 1640, says: “All citizens ire entitled to exercise all their rights as such, unless special ly prohibited by law.” By articles 11, Sec. Ist of the Con stitution of Georgia, it is declared that “the laws of general operation in force in this State, arc, as the supreme law of the land, first, the Constitu tion of the United States, tlie laws of the United States in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made under Rie au thority of the United States,” second, as next in authority thereto, this constitution ; third, in subordina tion to the foregoing, all acts passed by any legislative body sitting in this State as such, since the 19th day of January, 1861, including that body of of the laws known as the Code .of Georgia, and the acts amendatory thereof, or passed since that time; which said Code and acts are embodied in the printed book known as Irwin’s Code: and also so much of the Com mon and Statute laws of England and of the Statute laws of Georgia as were in force in this State on the 19th day of December, 1860, as are not superseded by said Cotte, though not embodied therein, except so much of the said several Statutes, Code and laws as may be inconsistent with the Supreme law herein recognized, or may have been passed in aid of the late rebellion against the United States, or may be obsolete, or may refer to persons held in slavery, which excepted laws arc inoperative and void." From the foregoing adopting clause in the State Constitution, it follows that the Code of Georgia (Irwin’s Code) is of force in this State, in all cases of statutes embodied therein, which are not excepted as above ; and then, when so excepted, they are in operative android. The two sections of the Code, above w u veep tea; ana are, therefore, still valid statute laws of Georgiii, in full force and effect, under the Constitu tion of the State, and next in au thority to the Constitution itself. The said 1648th section of the Code of Georgia, in so many plain words, gives to all citizens “the right to hold office,” and “to perform any civil function.” The place or position of a member of the General Assembly is an office, in both a legal and common accepta tion of the term. Bouvier’s Law. Dictionary, in which he says : “An office is a right to exercise a public function or employment, and to take the fees and emoluments belonging to if. Shelf, on Mortem. 797; Cruise, Dig., Index, b. t.; .3 Scrg. and R. 149.” Offices may be classed into political and military. Civil offices may be classed into political, judicial and ministerial. Die political offices are such as are not connected imme diately with the administration of justice, or the execution of the man dates of a superior officer. The office of the President of the United States, of the heads of Departments, of the members of the Legislature, are of this number.” Recurring, then, to the proposition as stated above, that, under the Con stitution and laws of Georgia, all citi zen? of this State, without regard to race or color (subject to certain ex ceptions and restrictions common to both races), have alike equal right to be chosen members of the General Assembly— both alike are eligible thereto, while both alike are subject to the same disabilities, and to no others. By a just construction of the last clause of the above quoted section of the Code of Georgia, which gives a citizen the right “to perform any civil function,” a colored person, a citizen of this Spate, being otherwise eligible, would undoubtedly have the right to occupy a seat in the General Assembly, if legally elected thereto. Now, let us see what those excep tions and restrictions are, which are applicable alike to both and all races ot citizens, and ascertain whether or not citizens of color, or of African blood, are embraced in such excep tions and restrictions. If they are not. then they are clearly eligible to the office or position of members of the Genera] Assembly; for the Code of Georgia, in the 1649th section, ex pressly declares, that “all citizens are entitled to exercise all their rights as such, unless specially prohibited by law.” Tlic following citizens of this Stale, Wait For The Boss !

While I do not assert positively that the foregoing nine classes embrace all persons, citizens of this State, who are “specially prohibited by law” from occupying scats in the General Assem bly of this State, I do assert unequiv ocally, that in neither of the above classes, nor in any article, section, or item of the Constitution of . this State, nor in any statute of force in Georgia, are persons of color, of mixed or African blood, as such merely, so excepted or “specially prohibited by law. It follows, then, that “col ored persons are eligible to seats in the General Assembly of Georgia,” under the Constitution and laws of force in Georgia. recapitulation. The facts and arguments in this tvhole question arc in a nut-shell: M'rsf—The Constitution of the State makes colored persons citizens. Second —lt adopts the Code of Georgia us embracing tho statutes of force in Georgia. Third —The Code provides that citizens of this State shall enjoy certain rights, among them the right “to hold office,” and “to per form any civil function” in this State. Fourth— The position of members of the General Assembly is an office, and also a “civil function.” Fisth — The Code says: “All citizens are entitled to exercise all their rights as such, unless specially prohibited by law.” Sixth —Colored citizens are not excepted in any terms, much less “specially prohibited by law’,” from being eligible to seats in th6 General Assembly; therefore, it followMliat, “under the Constitution and laws of Gemsfla. all citizens of this State, without regard to race or color (subject to certain exceptions and restrictions common to both races.) have a like equal right to l>e chosen members of the General Assembly." ot Georgia gave"to colored citizens, the same to white citizens of the State (being citizen’s of the United States), tho right to be members of the Gen eral Assembly, or, in other words, rnqde all alike eligible, subject to like exceptions only, then the ejection from their seats therein, of such colored members, when duly elected thereto, on account of color only, was clearly in violation of that clause in the said first section of said Amendment, which says, “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States.” I apprehend no one will question the truth of the assertion, that the position of a member of the General Assembly, is an “office” in the mean ing of the Code of Georgia, or “a civil position,” and that to eject a colored citizen from his seat, or position, as a member of the General Assembly of the State, merely because of his color, after he has been legally elected thereto, and sworn and seated therein, is to “abridge the privileges or immu nities of a citizen of the United States.” • If the foregoing assertion of facts is true, and the deductions drawn there from arc correct, it follows that Geor gia has, since’her readmission into the I niou, violated the Fourteenth Amend ment to the Constitution of the United States. The next consideration is, what is the remedy for such violation ? The answer is a simple one. The sth section of said Fourteenth Amend ment, or Article of the Constitution of the L nited States, as quoted above, declares that “Congress 'shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legis lating, the provisions of this Article.” Here, then, in. the Congress of the I nited States, and'there alone, we find the power to afford a remedy, and that by “ appropriate legislation;” and this, I affirm, means such legisla tion as may be necessary to enforce the observance of every requirement in the F ourteenth Amendment, by any md every State embraced within the Juitcd States of America, however loyal or disloyal, powerful or weak such State may be. We may notice here, that no power is reserved in this fifth section to the United States, or to Congress, to inflict any penalty upon any recusant State, but only “the [lower to enforce, by appropriate legis lation, a due observance of the "re quirements of the Amendment.” With profound deference to older and wiser heads, and with all possible respect for the wisdom and justice of those whose province it is to apply the REMEMBER DAN CASTELLO’S Great Show! !

And, to prevent a recur rence of a like or some other infrac tion, by Georgia, of the provisions of the said article of the Constitution of the United States, and to carry out the same, Congress should also pass an act enforcing, especially, all the pro visions contained in the third section of said Amendment. .
