Holding my office under the Constitution of

sworn to perform its duties according to that
Constitution and the laws of the State, by
which 1 am forbidden to pay money yut. of the
Treasury except upon warrant of the Governor purpose,
and sanction of the Comptroller General, and
having entered into heavy bonds for the faith
ful performance of the duties so proscribed, 1
am compelled to decline making the payment
ordered by the Convention and authorized by

His Excellcnecy, Charles J. Jenkins, Provision
al Governor of Lhe State of Georgia, Mill
cdgeville, Ga.iM
Dear Sir: I lufve the honor to submit here
with for yom consideration a copy of an ordi
nance recently, adopted by the Constitutional
Convention of the State of Georgia, and a copy
of the endorsement thereon made by Brevet
Maj. Gen. John Pope, who, at the date of such
endorsement, was in command of this Military
District. 1.also enclose a copy of a letter ad
dressed to General Pope by John Jones, Esq.,
Provisional Treasurer of the State of Georgia.
You will observe that said ordinance author
ized and directed said Treasury to advance to
the disbursing officer of the State of Georgia,
the sum of forty thousand dollars, to defray
the expenses of the Convention and the pay
and mileage of its members to the 23d day of
December, 1867, and that General Pope’s en
dorsement on said ordinance authorized and
instructed the Treasurer to pay the sum desig
nated in t-he ordinance to the disbursing officer
of the Convention, for the purposes specified,
and to tile the ordiance with his endorsement
thereon, and the receipt of said disbursing offi
cer, as the Treasurer’s voucher for the amount
so paid. The Treasurer declined to pay the
amount so ordered to be paid on the ground
that he held his office under the Constitution
of the State of Georgia, adopted in 1865, being
sworn to perform its duties according to that
Constitution and the laws of -the State, by
which he alleged he was forbidden to pay mon
ey out of the Treasury, except upon warrant of
the Governor and sanction of the Comptroller
General, and that having entered into heavy
bonds for the faithful performance of his duties
so prescribed, lie was compelled to decline
making the payment ordered by the Conven
tion and authorized by General Pope. Under
these circumstances, I deem it, proper to re
quest you to issue an Executive warrant on the
State Treasurer for the payment of the amount,
and for the purposes specified in said ordinance.
I am clearly of the opinion that the Convention
is authorized by the Deconstruction Acts of
Congress to exercise such legislative power as
may be necessary for it, to discharge the duties
■which those Acts impose on the Convention.—
To enable it to discharge its duty the payment,
of its current expenses, and of its members, is
absolutely essential. In this view I consider
the present ordinance as “an appropriation
made by law,” in the sense used by the Con
stitution of Georgia, which prescribes that “no
money should be drawn from the Treasury of
this State, except by appropriation made by
law and I, therefore, trust that you will not
hesitate to give the Executive warrant required
by the Treasurer, If I am correctly informed
there is a precedent for the action of this Con
vention in the appropriations made by the
Constitutional Convention which assembled in
this State in 1865.
You will please show this communication to
the Comptroller General.
Hoping that in the performance of the diffi
cult and embarrassing duties now devolved up
on me I may have the co-operation and assis
tance of the Executive Department of the State
of Georgia,
I am, most respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
George G. Meade,
Maj. Gen U. S. A.
Commanding Third Military District.
Executive Department, [
Millcdgeville. Jan. 10, 1868. )
Major General George G. Meade, U. S. A.,
Commanding Third Military District:
General—Your communication of the 7th
instant enclosing, for my consideration, an or
dinance of a Convention now sitting in At
Junta, “To levy and collect a tax for defraying
the expenses of the Convention, and other pur
poses,” having an endorsement thereon by
Major General John Pope, then commanding
the Third District, authorizing and instructing
John Jones, Esq., State Treasurer, to pay the
disbursing officer of the Convention forty
thousand dollars to- pay its expenses and the
pay and mileage of its members and officers up
to the 23d day of December 1867, and the re
ply of Mr. Jones to General Pope was received
after 10 o’clock P. M., yesterday and numer
ous unavoidable interruptions have prevented
.me from replying in time for the mail of to
day.
After reciting the substance of the enclosed
papers, you add, “ under these circumstances
I deem it proper to request you to issue an Ex
ecutive warrant ou the State Treasurer for the
payment of the amount, and fer the purposes
specified in said ordinance.”
After careful consideration, and with the
clearest conviction of duty, I must, General,
respectfully decline to comply with your re
quest. Vv ith a full appreciation of the courte
ous terms iu which your request has been pre-
fered. I ask your consideration of the reasons
which have prompted the answer here given,
lhey apply to three aspects of the subject un
der consideration:
F irst. 1 have considered it- as arising under
the Constitution of the State of Georgia
adoted in 1865, and tlie Constitution of Hie
United States, both of which, upon mv induc
tion into office. I took a solemn oath “ to the
best of 7ny abilities to preserve protect and defend.”
One of the provisions of the former is express
ed in these words; “ A'o money shell bs draten from
the Treasury of this Stale, except by appropriation
by law.” Here is an attempt to draw from
the 'treasury of this State a large sum of money.
Has an appropriation of this money been made
bv law? Clearly not, according to my eoneftp-
tion. I venture the assertion that any learned,
upright jurist would hold that the term “law,”
as used in this connection, signifies a statue
towf»! nS th'TL* he law -°takmg power estab-
WWt b f thnt 9 f onstitu tion, and none other.
What else can it mean? You say. “In this
twJl- e \ U *.t eW of the .necessities of the
ention) I regard this ordinance as an
i,fr PrU r! # ! mad ? by luw iu the sense used by
the Constitution of Georgia.” From this con-
! in tlie manner pointed out by itself, nor by the
spontaneous action of lhe constituency recog
nized by if. The concluding clause of our Con
stitution of 1865. reads thus: “This Conslitu
'.shall l>e altered or amended only by a Conven
tion of the people, called for that purpose by
Act of the General Assembly.’’
Bear in mind. General that 1 am now dfs-
i cussing your proposition, that the present ordi
i ranee is to be regarded “as an appropriation
made by law,” in the sense used by the Consti
tution of Georgia, which prescribes that no
money shall be drawn from the Treasury of
this State, except by appropriation made by
i law. As a logician for the purpose of the ar
gument, von concede that 1 am bound by the
: Constitution, and are seeking to convince me
■ that this ordinance comes within the exception
j to the prohibition. Now, look at it in the
! light of the concluding clause I have qnoP J.
! prescribing how. and how only, it shall be al-
j tered and amended. That clause is conserva
tive of the Constitution itself. The Conven
tion which passed this ordinance, and which is
assembled expressly to .make a Constitution lor
Georgia, is not called as provided in that clause,
and is therefore put under the band of the
Constitution now existing. Yet you say an
ordinance made by it is, in, tl^e sense of that
very Constitution, a “law” appropriating mon
ey. If I he right in defining the term “law,”
as used in the prohibiting clause, 1 have only
to add that the law-making power established
by the Constitution has made no such appro
priation. The Convention which this ordi
nance is call* 1 into being by certain acts of the
j Congress of the United States is, one of tne
! agents of that Congress (your self being another)
! for the purpose of carrying into effect a certain
You construe those acts as giving
authority to the Convention to appropriate
money out of the Treasury of Georgia. Do
you hold, General, that the Congress of the
United States could directly, by its own simple
act appropriate money from the Treasury ot
Georgia ? If you do, you will confer a favor
by designating the article, section and clause ■ f
the Constitution of the United States (whence
only its powers come) conferring that power.
If you do not so hold, ‘(and I scarcely think
you do,) will you insist that the Congress can
confer upon its agents larger powers than are
possessed by itself ?' Should you say that yon
are not permitted hj,consider those Reconstruc
tion Acts without reference to their constitu
tionality or their justice, or their expediency-
that you came here to execute them, and must
do so ? Pardon me for replying that you and
1 look at them from a different stand-point. 1
have said that I have sworn to support the
Constitutions of Georgia and of the United
States, and 1 have a serene consciousness that
in dealing to’obey the behest of the Conven
tion, and to comply with your courteous re
quest, 1 but pay a dutiful homage to both Con
stitutions.
Secondly, 1 have consi lered the Subject with
reference to the Reconstruct^^ Acts them
selves. 1 find nothing which in the remotest de
gree authorizes the construction that they in
tended to saddle the Treasury of Georgia with
the cost of their novel enterprise. It is very
clear that thc) r intended that cost, up to the
assembling of the Convention, to come .out of
the Federal Treasury. They have, with equal
distineness, provided that the Convention shall
provide for their own compensation and other
expenses, liy levying a tax upon tlie people for
that express purpose. But you may say, this
is too slow ; the Convention cannot possibly
await the collection of the tax—there is no
body else that can and will advance to them,
and, therefore, you must. But the Congress
have not so said. It is a very old and a very
safe rule of construction “ expresso imius, excht io
ext alferius.” The Congress having expressly
specified how the expense of the whole scheme
from begining to end, shall be provided for, it
cannot fairly be argued that they intended any
other provisions. Nothing hut a most latitudi-
nary construction could justify the inference
that this legislation imposes a burden upon the
State Treasury. Think you. General, it would
become the Governor of one of tluse States, re
quired by law to disburse certain sums for desig
nated objects and scantily supplied with means
for the purpose, to adopt such a rule of con
struction, and in a fit of generosity at the ex
pense of justice and of duty, to volunteer so
large a contribution to a cause with which he
had no official connection? Will you do me
the favor, General, in imagination, to place
yourself in the position of one of these unfor
tunates, and ask yourself the question, would
you do so ? It may be that Congress has not
adequately provided for this Convention, whii h
•it brought into beeing, but that is a question
between the parent and the child. Even if it
lie so, I incline to think that no blame attaches
to you or to me. In connection with this point,
I will say, further, I cannot perceive in these
multiplied reconstruction acts, that Congress
has imposed upon me any active part whatever.
They have graciously consented to leave me
undisturbed in the performance of the humble
functions intrusted to me by the Constitution
and laws of the State, upon the conditiOn # that
I do not “ hinder, delay, prevent or obstruct
the due and proper administration of those
acts.” But you perceive this imposes only a
negative duty. Believe me. General in my of
ficial position, compliance with your request
would involve a tremendous activity, nay,
even the abandonment of previously imposed
positive duty. This brings tqe to say:
Thirdly, that I have considered this question
with reference to the resources, and the exist
ing liabilities of-the Treasury of Georgia. In
to these (although tolerably familiar with
them before) I have carefully looked, since I
hail the pleasure of seeing you and I now state
distinctly my firm conviction, that if I assume
and meet-the expenses of this Convention, ]
shall be unable to pay the civil list, the princi
pal of the public debt near maturity,' the inter
est on the remainder and other necessaiy
charges. If your thoughts revert to the pro
posed reimbursement, I have only to say it
will come too late.
Hoping that these reasons for my course will
be as satitactory to you as they are conclusive
with me, 1 have the honor to be very respect
fully, your obedient servant.
Charles J. Jenkins,
Governor of Georgia.
Third Military District, is viewed by me as an
obstruction -to the execution of the Reconstruc
tion laws of Congress, and I am therfore com
pelled to remove you from office, as you will
sec I have done by the enclosed order.
Very respectfuly.
Your obedient servant,
George G. Meade,
Major General Commanding.
