Headq’ks Timm Military Pis't, f (Dep t, Georgia. Florida and Alabama) r Atlanta. Ga., Jan. 7, 1868. ) 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. aamijaEI mourn. • Re-Ocened ]V1 ai"Idie Yard. T). X.
