by several speakers, that, on the eve of a

throwing Belgium in the thele<\ it was a duty
to place at tlie disposition of the government

those most interested in the business to sell

From this sale would bo realized about 800,-

THE GEORGIA INJUNCTION BILL.
Ukited States of America:
To the Honorable the Ju*tices of the Supreme
Court of the United States :
The State of Georgia one of the United
States of America, bring this Bill of Com
plaint against Edwin 31. StantoD, a citizen
of Ohio, Ulysses S. Grant, a citizen of Illi
nois, and John Pope, a citizen of Illinois.
And thereupon your orator, this complnin-
ant, complains nnd respectfully shows:
That the said State of Georgia, liavio.,
been originally peopled and organized as a
Colony of the Kingdom of Great Britain, did,
on the fourth dny of July, in the year of our
Lord onethnsaud seven hundred nnd seventy-
the same constitution, and in the usual nnd
accustomed mumier, elected by tlie qualified
voters of the said State, and did.actually
enter upon their respective offices and the
performance of their respective official duties.
That the judicial department of tlie said State
of Georgia and the judges constituting the
same in office at its adoption were recognized
and continued by said new constitution, due
provision being therein made for filling va
cancies then existing or thereafter to happen.
That from a period preceding tlie said first
day of January, one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-six, the government of the State of
Georgia, in all its departments so created or
recognized bv and under the said new consti
tution, lias been and still is i:; the full exer
cise of its functions, as the actual and lawful
government ot the State of Gnprgia, with the
absolute consent and acquiescence of all the
six, unite with twelve other Colonies of tbe ) f>°Ppfe of that State, and without doubt or
same Kingdom in the declaration of said Col- question of its authority by any ot the citi-
onies indejicndence and of their separate ex- zc ' ns or inhabitants of saul State; that during
istence as.States, and did, subsequently, unite nd‘he time last aforesaid the said several de-
witb the said twelve other State in articles of ps/tments constituting the government ol .lie

of September, in the year one thousand seven | casions^in solemn forms, recognized ^ ic

was concluded between tho said belligerents,
which was subsequently, in due form, ratified,
whereby his Britannic Majesty acknowledged
the said States so confederated as aforesaid—
each State being distinguished by its proper
validity of the said last mentioned constitu
tion.
And this complainant further shows, that in
the interval between the adoption of such
new constitution and the next meeting of the
Congress of the United States, members of
name, and among tliem^his conqjhtinant, the I l ^ ,c Congress for said State were duly elected
11 or chosen and the Provisional Governor re

I nni> I ecutive Government of the united btu.es as
and upward, and also a great variety of other
real estate situated in said State of Georgia,
and of personal estate also in said State.
And this complainant further shows that at,
and long previously to, the passage of the
said act of the Thirty ninth Congress, there
were, ever have been and still are, in the State
of Georgia, many thousand of black men of
African descent, being inhabitants of the said
State, above the age of twenty-one years, and
in all respects qualified and competent, accor
ding to the terms of the said act ot Congress,
to vote at any and every election assumed to
be authorized or sanctioned by the said acts
of Congress, or either of them ; and that no
one of such black men, nor any other black
man, ever was, or now is, authorized by the
Constitution or laws of the said' State of Geor
gia to vote at any election in said State, or
otherwise to exercise or participate in any
political power within said State, or under
its constitution or laws.
And this complainant further shows, that
at and previously to the passage of the said
act of the Thirty-ninth Congress, there were,
and at all times since there have been, and
still arc, in the said State of Georgia, many
thousands of free white male citizens of said
State of Georgia, inhabitants of the said State,
above tbe age of twenty-one years, and in all
respects competent nnd qualified to vote at
any and all elections for officers in said State
under the constitution and laws thereof, who,
at all these times, were, and still are, good,
true and honest men, desirous of promoting
the interests of their country, firmly and earn
estly devoted to perpetuating the Union of
the United States, faithful to the Constitution
thereof, determined to the best of their abili
ty to support the same, of good name and
lame, nnd never convicted oradjudged guilty
iu any court or tribunal of any offence what
ever, who, nevertheless, could not trutbiully
take the oath or affirmation prescribed in
the first section of tbe said act passed by the
said Fortieth Congress, and who are, there
fore, by the said act of Congress, precluded
from registration in reference to any electiou
authorized or sanctioned by tho same acts, or
cither of them, and from voting at any such
election. '<■
And this complainant further shows that, by
the Latent and design of the said acts of Con
gress, and each of them, as manifestly ap
pears by tlm terms thereof, are to beset aside,

And this complainant apprehends and be
lieves that the President of the United States,
and said Edwin 31. Stanton, Ulysses S. Grant,
and John Pope, acting by and under the or
ders and direction of the President in that
behalf, will put the said acts of Congress iu
force within the State of Georgia, and tliere-
.in fully execute the same according to the in
tent and design of the said acts as above in
this bill alleged, and with the effect, and
producing the ruinous and destructive conse
quences to this complainant above in this
complaint stated, unless the putting in force
and execution of tbe said acts of Congress be
restrained, enjoined, and prevented°by this
honorable court, as is herein prayed
And this complainant further shows and
insists, that the said acts so respectively
passed by the Thirty-ninth and Fortieth Con- 3Ir. President axd Gbutlime •
gress of the United States were, and are, and you very much for the cordial w '-i:
each of them, and each und every provision have given me, and for the
of each of them, was and is, in tenor, object,
intent, design and purpose, incompatible with
and repugnant to the Constitution of tlie
United States, nnd utterly unlawful and void.
And this complainant further insists tint nei
ther the Congress or Government of the United
States has auy right, power or authority, by or
under tho Constitution of the United States, or
otherwise howsoever, to declare or prescribe tlie
qualifications of electors for elective or other offi
cers of the said State oi Georgia, or to hold or
govern elections for such officers, or to constitute
a State government in said State, or to annul, set
aside or disturb the said existing constitution or
government thereof.
And this complainant further shows that, iuas-
tnuch as the President of the United States,
though conscious of the unconstitutional, unlaw-
1 ill. unjii-t and oppres-ive nature and design of
said acts, does not think it lit in him, as the Chief
Executive officer of the Government, to abstain
from executing the said acts whilst they remain
uuitupeached by any judicial court competent au
thoritatively to advise him in the premises; and
inasmuch ai, by consequence, iu the absence of
such judicial action, the whole physical power of
the said Executive Department will be putin force
against the said State of Georgia to compel its
submission to the acts aforesaid, this complainant,
tin- raid State ol Georgia, U wholly without ade
quate power of resistance, or any other protection
iu the premises, this complainant claims and in
sists that such protection can be and ought to be
afforded by the order and decree of this honorable
court in the premises, and by its preliminary order
and injunction herein prayed for.
And this complainant inrther shows that there
is no adequate remedy in the premises in any
court ot law, nor in any court of equity, save iu
and that the threatened in-

States proposed by Congress since tho surren

Legislatures of the other States now repre
sented in Congress; that the ratification of
some of these amendments by the Legislature
of Georgia has beeu accepted, while the re
jection of others has been treated as an of
fence. And this oomplainant charges, and
respectfully insists, that a State cannot be in

acts of Congress he, as herein prayed for, restrain

which will be hereafter referred to as the se
ceding Stales, so to withdraw; and on this
issue a civil war ensued.
That during the progress of such war the
Congress oi the United States, by resolution,
and tbe President thereof, by proclamation,
repeatedly declared in substance that the
Union formed by said Constitution was in
dissoluble by such action us the said secedin'
States had taken; that such seceding States
were not then, or by any action of their own
could be, removed or withdrawn from the
aid Union; that such war, so as aforesaid *?* «*« purposes-m the Union for taxa

er of all their military force/and P«v>leges ot self-gcvewiieiitMn matters-per-
>f continuin'? anv such resistance: and taming to domestic polity not ailing within
ject has been observed from that quarter.
Germany is rendering herself thoroughly ob
noxious to tbe French government, and the
French people at large. The administration,
for tbe purpose of calmingpnhlic fears, may,
when it does speak, bring forth palliating
circuuietances to prove tbe best intentions,
for the preservation of peace, as being still
entertained by foreign powers; but all must
feel that a rupture between France and Prus
sia is inevitable, and, let us add, necessary.
It requires no prophetic foresight to be
persuaded that a great war in Europe is not
Jar distant. Some little time may elapse; the
Great International Fair may pass off before
the signal to arms is given; but as certain as
Bismarck persists, as be will do, in bis present
course, as certain as wliat has been done will
not now boiradone by the Prussian Govern
ment, there will be a marsknlling of hosts,
on assembling of mighty armies ere twelve
months will "have passed. France may have
politca! dissidents and disaii'e-cted parties in
her midst, who are ever working against the
Napoleonic dynasty, yet there will be no
party, no opposition, when the country is
theatened by a common danger and a com
mon enemy, and that enemy the Germanic
Confederation. Prussia will find in France
no unworthy foe; no three weeks campaign
or battle of Sadowa, will add new laurels to
Bismarck’s diplomacy or Prussia’s old King.
The prime minister must and will bo check
ed iu his aspirations; Prussia must and will
be humiliated. Let her meet France in bat
tle array, and if she does not crumble like
glass, then I shall be wonderfully mistaken.—
The Prussian minister is trying to sport with
all Europe; now it remains to be seen if Eu
rope will thus suffer itself to be trifled with
Before discontinuing tbe subject of Coun.
de Bismarck and his operations, it may be welt
to add an extract from La Liborte oh his
career, &c. That journal is now urging an
immediate commencing of hostilities on the
part of the French Government, and jirom-
iscs the hearty aid and concurrence of the
whole people. It -says: “Success, always
success ; grcatenterpris.a following great en
terprises; victories everywhere and always—
such is tbeo the inflexible law of govern
ments similar to tliat of Count de Bismarck.
The day they experience a check they lose
their prestige; the day they lore their pres
tige they have no longer a basis, for, not hav
ing right for a foundation, they have nothing
ing to rest upon but credit. That is why the
Germany of M. de Bismarck is a grave dan
ger to Europe. He is compelled to seek suc
cess incessantly, and lie must find it always.

and Of tho local of State authorities, have ex
isted and still exist throughout the said lately
seceding States, including the said State of.
Georgia, in as full and perfect a manner as
tlie same ever did exist iu any of the said
seceding States at any time prior to their said
attempit, and as they do now exist, or ever
did exist, in any other ofthe United States of
America,
And this complainant iurther shows, that
the Congress of tbe United Slates being then
in recess, the President of the United States,
deeming it expedient that all laws of the
lately seceding States, respectively, which
had in any way sustained or countenanced
tlie said, attempt, should be annulled, and
that the governments of said States should
not longer be administered by executive offi
cers who had been engaged in the actual
prnsrculioll of.-licil war as last al'ori--.id, sus
pended such State officers from their func
tions, appointing provisional Governors for
each of such lately seceding States, and
amoDgst them is the State of Georgia; and,
through the instrumentality of such provis
ional Governors, did afford to the electoral
body of and in each of the lately seceding
States an opportunity, by their representa
tives in convention asemblcd, to readjust, in
conformity with tlie Constitution and laws
of the United States, the relations of such
lately seceding States with the States from
which such separation had been so attempted,
and with tlie common Government against
which such resistance as Inst aforesaid had
been so made.
And this complainant further shows that,
by such a convention of the people of Geor
gia, fairly constituted under the auspices
aforesaid, and acting voluntarily and freely,
all prior constitutions, laws, provisions of
laws, ordinances, and legislative enactments,
in any manner or degree antagonistic to the
authority of the United States, or to the gov
ernment or laws thereof, or inconsistent with
the perfect union of all the States of the Uni
ted States of America under tlie Constitution
of the United States, were abrogated and
annulled.
That a new constitution for the said State
of Georgia was adopted by such convention,
declaring the Co institution, laws, and treaties
of the United States to be the supreme law,
providing for the State of Georgia a govern-
ment strictly republican in form and iu sub
stance, agreeing in its general features with
those of other States of the Union, and in all
jnstdrial respects identical with the State
Constitutions, under which the people of
Georgia had lived in tho Union for more
than seventy years—that is to say, during the
whole period of said Georgia’s existence as a
State anterior to tlie said attempt to withdraw
from such Union—save and except that there
by. slavery was acknowledged to have been
abolished, and was forever thereafter pro
hibited within said State.
And this complainant further shows tbat,
afterward and before the first day of January,
one thousand efoht hundred and sixty-six,
the Governor, or chief executive, andtlmleg-
htivc officers of the said State of Geoigiu,
provided- for in 6uch new constitution to form
?md con-Ritiite thoso departments in the gov-
said Fortieth Congress, entitled “An act sop
plementary of an act to provide for the more
efficientgovernment of the rebel Statesthat
each of the said acts was, in tarn, wjien pre
sented to his Excellency the President of the
United States, according to tho requirements
of the Constitution, vetoed by him forthc
reason by him nssigned—that it violated the
Constitution of the United States ; that the
Congress, in professed conformity to the
course in that case prescribed by the Consti
tution of tbe United States, reconsidered and
passed each of the aforesaid acts by the votes
of two-tbirds of the meinbers.of each House
preseut and voting therein at the respective
times of such-reconsiderations.
That as complainant is informed aDd be
lieves, his Excellency Andrew Johnson, Presi
dent, as aforesaid, notwithstanding his be
lief, clearly and strongly expressed to Con
gress in bis veto messages on the occasions in
that behalf above mentioned, that such acts
are unconstitutional, deems it tit, under exist
ing circumstances, to interpose no obstacle
to the execution of such acts, and to with
hold no official orders or action of the Execu
tive Department that may be needed to carry
them into full effect nnd operation.
And the said complainant further shows
that, by the said new constitution ofthe State
of Georgia, the whole constitutional and law
ful authority of said Slate in and over all
matters and subjects of State power or cog
nizauce is to bo exercised by certain elected
officers of said State, and others, by tlie said
elected officers chosen for that purpose; aud
that, by the provisions of such constitution,
the only persons competent or qualified to
vote or participate in the election of said
elected officers are the free white male citi
zens of said State, of tho age of twenty-one
years or upward, who possess certain minor
qualifications as to local residence aud the
payment of taxes; and this complainant fur
ther shows that, by the same constitution, no
person is competent to hold any office in the
said Stnto of Georgia, or under its constitu
tion or laws, who is not one of the said elec
toral class of citizens of said State; and this
complainant further shows that, as to the
competency aud qualifications of persons to
vote for or participate in the election or ap
pointment of officers and to hold office in the
said State and jundor its laws t the constitu
tion and constitutional or fundamental law
of the said State of Georgia have been in pre
cise conformity with the said provisions in
that behalf of said new constitution, as above
stated, at all times since the existence of
Georgia as one of the United States of
America.
And tho said complainant further shows
that the said State of Georgia now owns and
possesses,and has in its control and possession,
through the agency of its said State officers,
sundry large amounts of real and personal
estate, exceeding iu value five millions of dol
lars lawful money of the United States; that
amoDgst its real estate are tho following par
cels of land—tbat is to say, the parcel of land
in 3Iilledgeville aforesaid, containing two
acres and upward, whereon is situated the
buildings known as the Executive Mansion,
tbe value of which last mentioned parcel of
Jiaent of said State, were, as prescribed by land end building is fifty thousand dollars
to tho United States by the Federal Constitu
tion, another distinct and hitherto unknown
State, to be called and designated the State
of Georgia, represented and primarily crea
ted by a class of voters or electors other than,
and different from, the class of voters and elec
tors who, by the fundamental law and con
stitution of this complainant, the State of
Georgia, have at all times hitherto possessed
and exercised through their representatives
duly elected by themselves, the State govern
ment, in and over the territory aforesaid.
Anti this complainant further shows, that
if the said acts are, or either of them is, put
in force or carried into execution, the imme
diate effect thereof must unavoidably be to
consummate, effectuate, and fully accomplish
such unlawful intent and design as aforesaid.
And, on further 1 information and belief,
this complainant further shows, that the
President of tbe United States lias given out
and declared that he intends to put the said
act of Congress into full and complete opera
tion, and to execute the same in the State of
Georgia, as well as in the other of the said
so-called rebel States; and has also given out
and declared that he will so put the said acts
in operation and execute the same by means
of his official directions in that behalf as such
President,issued through those official organs,
officers, and agents of the Executive Depart
ment of the United States, which, according
to the practice and usage of said Executive
Department, would be.the most appropriate
agencies ih that behalf, if the said acts of
Congress were valid, aud constitutional; and
ha3 also given out and declared,’that in con
formity with the tenor of tbe said (ict of Con
gress, he intends to, and will, from time to
time, as occasion may seem to require, for
the purpose last aforesaid, defail and furnish
to each of the military officers assigned to
command the respective districts in tlie said
acts mentioned a sufficient military force to
enable such officer to carry into complete
execution the directions of the -aid acts.
And this complainant further shows that
putting the said acts of Congress' into execu
tion, as so threatened, would overthrow and
destroy this complainant’s corporate existence
as a State of the Union aforesaid, by depri
ving the said State of Georgia of all the means
and instrumentalities whereby such corporate
existence might, and otherwise would be
maintained and upheld, and would deprive
this complainant of its property, real" and
personal, aforesaid, and of all lawful or ade
quate power or means whereby to possess,
control, enjoy, or protect said property or
any part thereof.
And this complainant further shows that,
according to the usages and practices .of the
ExecutiveDepartment, the Secretary of War
and Ulysses S. Grant, General ot the army,
are the most appropriate and the chief .officers
and ngents of that Department, ar.d the olfi-
cep: through whom such official directions of
thq, President as last aforesaid, if lawful,
should be issued, and under whom such di
rections, if lawful, would be carried into exe
cution.
And this complainant further shows that
Edwin 31. Stanton, a citizen of the State of
O(iio, is the Secretary Of War of. the United
States, and that Ulysses S. Grant, the said
General of the army, is a citizen ofthe State
of Illinois. ;
Andj on information and belief derived
from acts und circumstances, this complain
ant further shows iliat thp said Secretary of
War and the said Lieutenant General have
each indicated and given it to be understood
that ho will issue,, and cause to be fully ex
ecuted by means of all power under his offi
cial control, all such orders and directions as
the President of the United States may desire
or direct to be issued under or in pusuance of
the said acts'of Congress, or for the purpose
of carrying the same acts into full execution
and effect according to the tenor ofthe same.
And this complainant verily believes that,
unless restrained by the order of this coflrt
in this behalf, the said Secretary ol War and
the said General will so issue such orders and
cause such, full execution as last aforesaid.
Aud, on information and belief, this com
plainant ftirther shows that, ou the eleventh
day of. March, one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-seven, the President of the United
States caused to be issued by the said General
Ujysses S. Grant, from the headquarters of
the army, at Washington, General Order No.
'Fen, purporting ,tq bo for the information
and government of all concerned, containing
first, a copy of the said act of the Thirty-
ninth Congress, and secondly, an announce
ment that, in. pursuance of the same act, the
President had directed certain assignments,
amoug which was the following; “ The third
district, consisting of the States of Georgia,
Florida and Alabama, to ho commanded by
Major General G. H. Thonjas, headquarters
ilontgomery, Alabama.
And further, that thereafter, in like pursu
ance of such intention, on the fifteenth day
of the same month, 3Iarcb, the said President
did cause to lie issued from the said head-
uarters, by the said General.Grant, another
lencfal Order numbered eighteen, whereby
the following change in tlie aforesaid assign
ment to the said third district was made—
that is to say, that Brevet Major General John
Pope was assigned to the command of the
third district, consisting of the States of
Georgia, Florida and Alabama.
And, on information and belief, this com-
flainnnt shows that the said John Pope, who
!s a citizen of tho State of Illinois, has ac
cepted the said command, and has given out
and, declared that he intends to and will put
force and fully execute the said acts of
Congrc.- within the State of Georgia, as well
iu other parts of the said third district.

It is quite possible that tbe world will not get at
tho bottom ol this Russo-American agreement all
at once. Tbe treaty ot cession has been laid before
the Senate, but is that the whole story ? Is there
no secret agreement behind it ? No 'understand
ing oi the p.irl the United States is to play iu tbe

the Eastern question, literally, so far as England
is concerned, lor the preservation of the Indian
Empire f •
Rumors to this effect found currency some six
months ago, and it is not at all improbable that
they were not wholly unlounded. Russia may
have sought the alliance of the United States, and
the laiter exacted asacondition the cession of Rus
sian America, the agreement being, that the cess
ion should be announced and the rest of the barg
ain kept secret. Time will reveal the truth; but

at the celebration of the fait of Richtr.uodi
