Irregular Id IS* Inception, and though

claiming to las tb* legal Government of
Georgia; In such a case, m-eeptejiq* of It
Bjy Congress la purely a matter c* discre

(As very point in ditput*. It I* denied that
tb* present government was made or
now assented to by s nujority of the peo;
pie. This It a qauction of fact; and It
ulalmed that under the ponstltuflpn.of the.
United Spates. Congress is the only arbiter

ginal thirteen, as a matter of course, eaak
approved the governments of tho other*
the formation of the government, and aa
each now government ha* been formed Its
Constitution has been submitted to and
approved by Congress; and by that aot
Congress lies contracted to guarantee It as
Republican Oovarnmcnt. As any State
has titered Us State Government through
the regular constituted authorities, and
kept up the chain of succession' from one
government to tho other, the original sana
tion of the United States may he said fairly
to continue, since the government guaran
teed by tbeUqlted State* osoent to tb* new
organization. Prime facia, at least,
ought to bo assumed that a government
sanctioned by tbs Ualted States as entitled
to the guarantee, would not then turn over
Its authority to a new government, not en
titled to the tame guarantee. But the case
entirly different when In any way tb*
State loses Its legsl organization alto
gether; when there la In the State no gov.
ornment having the guarantee; when the
chain of succession has beeu broken, aud
there exist no old legal guaranteed organ!
ration to sanction tbe new aud transmit to
the sanction of tha United States.
In such a cate Congress has the right,
and It Is Its duty, either Itself to point out
aud superintend tbe organisation, or If It
lias been organized, In some other way to
examine Its history audita constitution.

officials whom, it says, onutractcd print

In tho published “Regulations ef the
War I>cpertinent relative to newspaper
advertising and job printing,” and with
which the publisher of the Mtll\gtu.c*r Is
presumed to b« familiar, occurs the follow
ing section:
•7. In the event of death, removal, or
“resignation of any officer, or of his being
“transferred to another station, tbe bills
“for outstanding advertisement! of his

“forwarded by his successor, who Is author

“tlie frets."
If, therefore, tbe laitUifeectr had com

tfon Is that It* claims would hav* boon paid,
provtdpd they were Just.

Wa thought, until vary r«c«nfly, that the

It has aot altogether departed Item 1M old

A WxT BLasourr —The last PrwMenUal
cords wltli tlie Ccustltutlon of the United
States.
Tho State of New York la now In eon
ventlon at Albany, and that Convention
may alter very materially the Government
of the Stele. Now, Inatmuch aa that Con
vention area called by tbe State Govern
ment rtoogniaed by Congress, and Inas
much a* tha pretont Government wlU.
doubtless, without a word, yield to. and
thus sanction, the now organisation, It
may frirly be said that tho new. Govern
ment wlU be St least prima foci a recognized,
by tht United States.
But suppose New York were to set tip a
monarchy, sod that monarchy to go Into
fsnSnl operation, and the old Govern
ment to disappear; .sfippas* the United
States wars by force to OvWturn and asm!
hUato that monarchy, and there* were no
legal State organisation, either to call a
Convention or to sanction any nsw Gov
ernment that mlffot In any way arise; sup
pose tbe lint of sscosslan wore broken; It
It not clear that the new Government
would requite the sanction of foe United
(Bate* before It could rightfully claim to
exercise the powers of the State under the
Constitution, or would be entitled to the
guar an toe the United States Is bound to
give to ovary State—a Government repub
lican In form.
Noty, Just this is the case with Georgia.
By a rebellion against tbe Utilted States
tbe State Government recognized by tbe
United States was lost; and after live years
of bloody and disastrous war, tho State
was, In May, 180S, without any organiza
tion recognized by tbe United States,
U l» true, la the foil of 1884 an organiza
tion was got up under the supervision of
tho President, but It never was organized
by direction of the constituted authorities
of tlie States; It Is not the regular sue-
ssor of the legal State organization
which tiud the recognition of the United
States, ami It follows that, before It can
rlgbtfidly.cxcrels* tlie powers of tho State
and claim the guarantee provided for by
Article 4, section 4, of the Constitution, It.
iipist bo sanctioned and accepted by the
United States, a* are the Government* of
all t£e other States of tbe Union.
Nothing it more absurd than the oft re
peated statement that tha United State*
has no right, under any circumstances, to
luterfore with an organisation claiming to
bs a State Government. It Is a right sanc
tioned by tbo express terms of the Consti
tution ; It la a right approved by the Su
preme Court of the United States; aud It is
a right necessarily growing out of the
very tutor* of tho Goverumeul. The
United but os Is a Government formed of
msuy governments—“E Pluribus I'mini,"
and the Constitution place* upon each of
the States various restrictions a* to their
power*, and one of those restrictions la
that tho Government of each State shall be
Republican In form, and It aaoaasarUy fol
lows that, at all times, the United State*
have tha right to examine Into a

standing the bitterness of the Opposition

tlioir allies, that opposition to reconstrue-

only prove fruitless, but dangerous to the
men who Inaugurate and carry It on. Let
those who make the issue reflect upon w-hst
