THE DAILY PRESS IS ALSO THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY OF AUGUSTA, HAVING BEEN ELECTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL AS THEIR OFFICIAL ORGAN. the unfortunates. Gknkkal ROBKRT E. LEE, GkksbaL JOSEPH E. JOHNSTON General G. T. V. BEAUREGARD, Lt. Gen. JAMES LONGSTREET, Lt. Gen. WADE HAMPTON, Lt. Gen. DICK TAYLOR. Maj. Gen. WM. MAHONE, Maj. Gen. ETHEL BARKSDALE, Maj. Gen. CHALMERS. It is of men like these that the Con stitutionalist save: “ Their genius for solving vexed ques tions of Slate is not in the highest condi tion of intellectual health or ingenuity.'' Because they presume to recommend to the people a prompt and hearty cooperation in reestablishing the politi cal position of the States upon the basis of the laws of congress, they are thus taunted with imbecility. » The Business Importance of Peace. Tbe great need of the South is peace. Not merely the hollow truce which stops the desolating march of armies and the red carnage of battle, but the assured and permanent adjustment of the causes of war, which puts in active exercise all the arts and conditions of peace, which restores confidence, un. locks capital from the clutches of dis trust, and establishes peaceful relations between those lately at war. Such a peace; it must be admitted, has not been fully secured. We need not stop to enquire whether we have done all that a magnanimous victor should exact to secure peace; it is sufficient to know that still harsher terms are reqnired, and that the blessings of peace will be denied us until we accede to them. The question is not, whether, as An abstract matter of right, these last exactions oqghl to be imposed, but whether we can escape them by refusing their acceptance, or afford to risk the evils which may attend their re jection? For six long years the in dustry of the South has been paralyzed ; our fields deserted or laid waste, our workshops neglected, and every depart ment of art and industry become pros trate, until the necessities of our im poverished and starving people appeal in language more eloquent than words, for an end of the vexatious con flict. The existence of actual war was scarcely more fatal to the industrial interests ol tbe country, than the suspansc which attends oar present condition. It is this that prostrates trade—that interrupts labor, and retards all en'erprises for the im' provement and development of tbe country. It is this that makes money scarcey for capital sbous a country when the government is unsettled, and society unstable; and the scarcity of money defeats all substantial progress. Con sequently we hear of shops closing for want of business, or of means to pay * their hands, and of farms lying idle, because the owners can neither feed or pay the laborers. A continuance of this state of things must drive off m uch of the labor that is left us, and prevent the introduction of labor or capital from abroad. In view of the sad picture of want and prostration which is presented on every hand, is it not the part of wisdom and prudence for all good citizens—since we cannot dictate the terms of peace— to accept those that are offered, and endeavor to restore the country to some thing of its old prosperity? Appeal to Hie Supreme Court. The New York Tribune say* that opposition to the reconstruction law takes its first formal shape in a prayer to the Supreme Court for an injunction to restrain from enforcing it “ Gen. Pope,*Commander of the Third Military District, and Andrew Johnson, a citizen of Tennessee, and President of the United States.” That Mr. Johnson would like to be enjoined not to enforce the law is certain, and it is understood that he is the leader of this effort to test the constitutionality of the law. There is another question, however— whether the Supreme Court can act npou the case unless it is brought before it on appeal from a lower Court, and the Hon. Reverdy Johnson is of the opinion that it cannot. The merchantsof Atlanta have agreed to pay >I,OOO for the arrest of any of the highway robbers who infest the roads leading to that city. Country, trade is almost suspended on account of the depredations of these outlaws. The Constitution. As there is mnch said at this time, and perhaps little underatood, about the Constitution »nd the uncfsistitotlonaUty of certain la we—we make extracts from a communication signed ** Veteian Ob server,’* R> <ha New York Timet, cam meriting upon an editorial in that journal, ae giving perhaps the beat idea we can of the construction of the Constitution made by tbe Conservative Republicans, the party now in full control of the Government. The TYmes of the 19th inst. took some notice of my letter on the constructions of the Constitution. 1 agree with you that, in some things there is a revolu tion ; but I deny that there is any revo lution in the proper construction of the Constitution, which had but three elementary principles: 1. That Govs eminent rested entirely on the will of ihe people. 2. That it was instituted for the welfare and happiness of tbe people, and 3. That to insure this, it established a more perfect Union, and made an outline of the manner in which the powers of Government should be exercised. Now, I say that these prin ciples are «ot chanced in tbe slightest respect, and that till they are, the lib erty, union, and welfare of the people are, in regard to Government, secure. If the Constitution is an iron instru ment, incapable of elasticity or change, wbat becomes of tbe freedom of the people ? Every code of civil law upon earth has been compelled to the necessity of circumstances, and I am not afraid to assert that mortal men can; not make a Constitution of Government which will not yield before a single cen tury to many changes. But what is a Constitution of Gov ernment? Let us settle first principles. The Constitution says the Supreme Court (2 Dallas’ Reports, 304,) is the "fundamental law; the regulation which determines the manner in which the authority vested in Government is tb be executed.” Its source is the people. A Constitution is not the authority which makes the Government; nor is it the Government itself, as many people sup pose. It is simply an outline of the dis tribution of powers and the manner of their execution. That is all. W here would bo the Supreme Court w ithout the will of Congress? The Constitution instituted a Supreme Court, but did not organize it; on the contrary left the whole matter to Congress. If this Con cress repeals every act organizing the Supreme Court, and leaves not u frag ment behind it, it will be strictly con stitutional, or, what is the same thing, leave a single Judge, and he with no process to carry out his judgment. So with the Executive. Why should any one complain that the vetoes and ap pointments of the President are over ruled by Congress, much less why should, it be called unconstitutional when it is by virtue of express provisions of the Constitution that it is done ? The sim ple fact of the matter is that the Con stitution expressly provides co nomine, that the whole Government may be overturned in four years, and that the Executive and the Judiciary may prac tically be nullified by Congress. This looks strange only because in nearly eighty years we have had no need of exercising that power. We have had respectable, if not great men at the head of the Government —men who h >d some regard forpublic opinion and some honorable sentiments. We were under no necessity to call up the quiescent power of the Constitution and of the public will in order to save the country from usurpation and corruption. You will not deny that the habeas corpus may be suspended in case ol rebellion ; you will not deny there was a rebellion; you will not deny that Congress by virtue of its Congressional puwers made war on that rebellion. Now, I want to know when that rebel lion ceased ? lam perfectly aware that the President has done a great many acts recognizing peace, although he has never for a moment withdrawn his ar mies. Now, I deny that any power whatever had the least authority to make peace, or assume it, but the Con gress of the United States. I deny that what you call ten States have any con stitutional rights, as States. If they had, negro slavery would exist to day as much as it ever did. How was it abolished ? By force ; and is the force which abolished slavery binding on the laws and consciences of the South, if they had not forfeited their constitu tional rights ? It is absurd to say that you have a right to destroy three thou sand millions of dollars in property by force, and you have no right to pse force for the peace, good order and stability of society I But the whole question is settled by the sim ple records of facts. Those rebel States did not merely secede—which they had no right to do—did not merely make u four year's bloody war, but they made anew Confederacy, anew Gov ernment, an actual Government aide to carry on a war —and were acknowl edged as belligerents against the United States by foreign powers 1 Nowifthatwas not a forfeiture of constitutional rights, pray what on earth can make it ? The question is not whether they are out of or in the Union, but whether they have not forfeited all right to participation in the Government. The law in common affairs recognizes a forfeiture of rights, wheu there is a countenance of liabili ties. You quote the Constitution as if it were binding only on the loyal States. The Constitution does not say that a State shall not be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate without its con sent ; but it does not say that a State may not he deprived of that suffrage with its consent; in other words, may not forfeit the rights it had. On the contrary, the implication of the words is directly the reverse. That paragraph in the Constitution was used by Johnson and his adherents with the utmost per versity through his whole Western tour; and he was only laughed at for his pains. This, too, comes in the precise state of fact in which the Senate has the constitutional power to judge of the qualification of its members.” If the most loyal men in the Confederate States presents himself to the Senate, that body is under no obligation to receive him, because it cau reply, “You come from a Confederate State, which had declared its own forfeiture of any right to a seat in the Senate till Congress has restored that State to its former rights." It is different under the reconstruetifib act, for if they come back under that act, they are constitutionally restored. Here 1 must close. I admit, aud have said it repeatedly in the Times, that by inevitable necessity the rebel lion made a revolution in some things. It destroyed slavery. It practically de stroyed the suicidel doctrine of State Rights, and it revolutionized tbe struc ture of Southern society ; but in the loyal States and the loyal Government it did nothing but bring out the quies cent power ot the Constitution and the real strength ot the people. 1 rejoice lin this. I thank GoJ that Ho has, in his mercy, brought this nation to a knowledge both of its duties anil its rigku. I thank God the people are greater than tbe Constitution, end 1 hope the dey will never come when they wjtt not hold every branch of tbe Gov. erneegnt accountable to themaelvee. Whether reveiutiona go back or not, this revolution will go steadily on. This nation has been shocked by enormous crimes Into a profound conviction that the party and men which for many years ruled this country cannot be intrusted with the least shnreot power. And has there been anything in the conduct of Mr. Johnson to soften or conciliate the stern conviction of the people? Alas I nothing. The public sense of decency has been wounded, and the public will defied. The people will wait patiently till they can constitutionally remove all “ obstacles,” great and small, from the path of their power. A Veteran Observer. Forsaking Their Chivalry. The Augusta Constitutionalist says : “Asa proof that some of our late Generals have not quite forsaken their chivalry, we present a letter from Gen eral Will T. Martin.” Lee, Beauregard, Longstreef, and others of the heroes of the South, have, then, forsaken their chivalry. Is this the inference our cotemporery wishes drawn from its commendation of Gene ral Martin ?—Atlanta Ojnnion. American Industry The value in gold of the products of the people of the United States for the year 1866 was, in round numbers, as follows : Those engaged in agriculture, $1,609,000,000; manufactures, includ ing all processes between the raw ma terial and consumption, $917,000,000; mining, $100,000,000 ; fishing, $13,000,- 000; hunting $2,000,000; wood cut* ting, etc., $25,900,000 ; net annual earn ings or gross increase of money value derived Irom exchanging products with foreign countries, engaging in improving the face of the country, and subduing it to the porposes of society, $2,400,000,- 000; total in gold value, $6,756,000,- 000; the same reduced to currency, $9,458,000,000.
