THE WEEKLY OPINION,
BY W. L. 8CRUGG8 *5D J. 3. BUMBLE,
The U. 8. District Court fob tub
Northern District of Oeorou.—This
court will commence tlio Heptember ses
sion on Monday morning at 10 o’clock,
in the room fitted up for that purpose in
tho “ Brown Building,” Broad street. Tho
business before this session of tho court we
learn is very heavy. Tho officers of the
Court arc, Hon. John Ersklnc, Judge Henry
8. Fitch, Esq., U. 8. District Attorney, Col.
W. G. Dickson, U. 9. Marshal, C. H. Elyca,
Deputy Marshal, and W, B. Smith, Clerk
THE AIR-LINE RAILROAD.
A meeting of tho Board of Directors for
this road was held In New York, last week,
at which were present many of the stock
holders. The result of tho meeting was, as
we learn, a determination to commence
work at this end of the lino within the
nest two months, perhaps by the middle
of October. The Company owning the
charter for the railroad between Shelby,
N., Cm and Greenville, 9. C., agreed to
transfer all their franchise to the Alr-Llnc
Hoad, and the New York Directors and
Stockholders seem quite sanguine of tho
early completion of the enterprise.
Tho Board of Directors, three of whom
live in this city, and five in New York,
bf».vc elected Mr. L. B. Clark and Gen. A.
Austell, President find Vice-President.
Mr. Clark Is a citizen of New York, and
has heretofore taken great interest In this
laudable enterprise. Gen. Austell, of
this city, Is well and favorably known
throughout the South as one of tho most
sagacious businessmen and able financiers
in the country. Under the able manage
ment of these gentlemen, the enterprise
will be a success; and our people should
accept the assurance that the work Is so soon
to be commenced at this end of the line,
as an omen of better times, financially.
RECONSTRUCTION.
The two Governments—Which is Constitutional ?
The leading objection to the Military
Bill on Constitutional grounds is that
it declares the State Government il
legal. and provides by act of Con
gress for setting up another. This 1
declared monstrous by its opponents, and
Hoods of indignation, amounting, at times
to the pathetic, arc poured forth at what is
pronounced, unheard of, unconstitutional,
and outrageous. It Is asserted that it-
eventual abolition Is sure, that some day
or other the courts will, of a certainty, de
clare everything done under it void; and
one gentleman lias actually proffered, with
out charge, to prosecute, as a lawyer, any
man’s ease arising under it.
Has it never occurred to these gentlemen
that there Is not a single objection which
can be urged against the government Gen.
Pope is engaged in organizing, that does
not apply with ten fold greater force
against the government they now claim to
be the only loyal government of the State
That the only difference between them is
that the present State Government was
originated under the proclamation of the
President, while the government Gen,
Pope is sitting lip, will be organized under
an net of Congress. They are both based
ui>on authority derived from the United
States, and not from any law or constitu
tion of Georgia, and the validity of cither
of them depends upon no statute or custom
of Georgia, but if defensible at all, upon
the Constitution of the United States.
Let us go a little Into detail and draw
the parallel as It actually exists.
They arc both of them the product of
outside United States Interference, and
they can neither of them pretend to he the
spontaneous act of the people of the State.
The one now in process of organization, it
is true, Is to be voted upon by the people,
which cannot be said of the President’s
organization; hut they arc both of them
generated and brought into being by the
directions and under the regulations of
powers other than the State of Georgia.
The history of the organization declared
Illegal by Congress Is as follows: Tho
President of the United States arrested the
Governor and ordered tho Legislature not
to meet—declaring them both to be illegal,
and he forthwith took military possession
of the State, and, Iguoringall civil author
ity, administered the laws by military of
ficers. Soon afterward he appointed a
Provisional Governor and called a Conven
tion to organize for the State a new civil
Government. lie fixed tho numbers of;
that Convention, the districts from which
they should be elected, and the qualifica
tions of the members. He fixed, also, the
time for tho election and the qualifications
of the voters, disfranchising all the then
unpardoned rebels, and excluding all the
blacks. When the Convention met he dic
tated to It, through his Provisional Gov
ernor, In no gentle terms certain ordi
nances he organized It to pass; and, In ad
dition, required every member to take a
certain oath of his own concoction.
Now, it Is a simple denial of all the facts
of the ease for a government thus set up
to question the authority of the United
States to Interfere In the organization of a
State government. United States Is writ
ten nil over It—in origin, In its progress
of construction, and In its final organiza
tion. It was conceived by the President,
lie superintended Its progress, and when It
was complcto lie pronounced It gbod. Is
it possible to conceive a greater stultifica
tion of history than for a government with
guch a record to deny the authority of tho
United States to interfere?
But let us return to the parallel; what is
there In tho Congressional scheme that 1ms
not Ita counterpart In the Presidential?
Each found In existence a State organ!-
xation and declared it Illegal and void.—
Each set up a provisional government with
military supervision. The President hav
ing only a Governor, while Congress
adopts temporarily the whole organization,
Each calls a Convention, the President not
consulting the people at all, while Congress
requires a vote “ Convention or no Con
vention.”
Each prescribes qualifications for mem
bers to the Convention and for voters at tho
election. The President excluding all the
then pardoned rebels, and tho blacks, who,
together at that time formed a majority of
the people. The unpardoned rebels, inclu
ding all men in the State worth $20,000,
and all the Confederate army officers above
the rank of Colonel, and eleven other
classes.
Neither of them pretend to proceed
under the laws of Georgia, or any authori
ty derived from Georgia, but both arc based
on an assumed power of the United States
to act in the premises.
They both assume that in some way the
State of Georgia is without any legal State
Government, and that under the circum
stances, a power exists In the United States
to superintend the organization of such a
government, and until that can be dome, to
preserve the peace and regulate society by
such means as in the absence of a legal
civil government present themselves.
Now Is it not conclusive that so far as
any objection to the Interference of the
United States is concerned, the objection
to tlio organization of 18G5, is identical
with the objection brought against the or
ganization now in process of construc
tion?
Tho United States Is the mover and su
perintendent of both, nud neither
truthfully say it Is the sole product of
Georgia thought and Georgia law. In this
respect they arc upon the same footin,
and any objection applying to the scheme
of Congress applies also to the scheme of
the President.
The only differcnco in principle is, one is
tho result of Presidential interference, and
the other of Congressional, and any sensi
ble discussion of the point In dispute be
tween them, must turn upon the instru
ment from which both Congress and the
President profess to have derived the
power to interfere at all—tlio Constitution
of the United States.
The Congress had just as much right to
exclude the old office-holders as the Presi
dent had to exclude the unpardoned rebel
and as much right to include the blacks ns
he had to exclude them. The words of the
clause under which both profess to net be
ing, “to guarantee to eacli State a republi
can form of government,” there is nothin
in the power prescribing to whom in the
State the appeal shall las made.
The real point of the ease is, the Presi
dent lmd no authority to act at all. He is
in no sense the United States. The as
sumption that ho is, was a great stretch of
authority. It takes the Congress and the
President both to make tho United State;?;
or, in case of disagreement, two-thirds of
Congress.
The result of all is. that tho Congress in
declaring the present State Government il
legal, and in taking steps for the organiza
tion of another, has merely set aside a
Government got up, rightly or wrongly,
under United States authority, and lias not
undertaken to interfere with a Government
of tlio people of Georgia, hut with a Gov
ernment inaugurated by an officer of the
United States, who, under tho Constitu
tion, had no such power, and who, acting
as he did, usurped a power belonging to
the law-making power of the United States.
Another result is, that in judging of tho
constitutionality of either scheme, the pre
vious laws, Constitutions, enfranchise
ments and disenfranchisements of the pre
vious State Governments, have nothing to
do with it. If the President or Congress
has power to Interfere at all, that power
has but one limit—the Government set up
must he republican In form, and, so far ns
the law’ of the ease is concerned, they may
enfranchise or disenfranchise whom they
please, only so that they keep w ithin the
limit of a republican form.
