TO THE PEOPLE OP THE OOMULGEE
JUDICIAL CIRCUIT.
Fellow-Citizens : Elected by you to the
Judgeship of this Circuit, without opposi
tion, it is due to you that you should un
derstand why it is that I do not, from this
day, exercise* the functions of the office. I
refer you to the appended correspondence.
Augustus Reese.
September 20, 1867.
(no. 2.)
Madison, Ga., September 5, 1867.
To Major General Pope, Commanding Third
Military District, dr..'
General : Since I have been on the
Bench of the Superior Court I have sedu
lously endeavored to have justice adminis
tered according to law, “ without discrimi
nation to classes or individuals.” How far
1 have succeeded is best known to the people,
the bar and “ the Supreme Court for the
Correction of Errors.”
Since the passage of what are commonly
called the military hi I Is, looking to my
own Interest as well as the interest of my
constituents, I have labored to conform to
all military orders, and, until the publica
tion of General Orders Nos. 53 and 55,
hoped I should be able so to do. Truthful
ness, General, requires me to say that I
cannot obtain my consent to be made in
strumental in carrying out these orders,
and it is due that you should have my rea
sons, which I will now proceed to give
without much argumentation.
General, when 1 received from the people
of my Judicial District, through the Execu
tive of the State, my commission, I took
and subscribed the following oath, viz: “ 1
swear that I will administer justice with- .
out respect to persons, and do equal rights
to the poor and the rich, and that 1 will
faithfully and impartially discharge and
perform all the duties incumbent on me as
Judge of the Superior Court of this State,
according to the best of my ability and un
derstanding, and agreeable to the laics mul
Constitution of this Stole, and the Constitution
of the United States.”
When, how, or where Ihave been absolv
ed from this obligation, I am not able to
understand. With this obligation remain
ing, alter a careful review of the several
theories touching the status of the South
ern States, I am unable to adopt any pro
cess of reasoning by which 1 can arrive at
the conclusion that the orders referred to
are the laws of Georgia; the Constitution
thereof, or the Constitution of the United
States, or arc otherwise within the power,
view and meaning of said obligation.
My analysis of these orders is, that the
competency of jurors is made to depend
upou the politics of the person summoned.
If the citizen summoned has registered he
is a competent juror; if he lias not regis
tered he must be set aside. ' Now, if regis
tration, like the payment of taxes, was a
legal duty on the citizen, there would be
some plausibility in the legislative authori
ty excluding him from the jury box until
he discharged that legal duty; but the mili
tary bills, even, do not make registration a
legal duty; on the contrary, it is left to the
free will and discretion of every citizen who
can take the registered oath to register or
not. If these orders were intended as a
punishment upon such citizens as cannot
take the registered oath it must not be for
gotten that there are hundreds, if not thous
ands, in Georgia who have ever been con
sidered true to the Federal Government,
and who can take the registered oath; but
who have not and will not register, fearing
they may, by registering, commit them-
2ri-tDccltln Constitutionalist.
1 ' jjf-
selves to a programme which will, in their
judgment, if successfully earried out, work
an entire change in the form of govern
ment under which the people of the United
States were for so long a time prosperous
and happy. This last mentioned class of
Citizens, I think, are in error, for I hold that
every citizen who can, ought to register,
and thereby qualify himself to prevent mis
chief; but these citizeus, in declining to
register, are but exercising the rights of
American citizens—rights conceded by the
military bills, and in declining to register,
commit no crime, and violate no legal duty.
These orders carried out cannot fail to
affect most injuriously the rights and inter
ests of parties in court, especially as they
have the right, under our system, inequity,
appeal, and criminal cases, to select impar
tial jurors. You will pardon me, General,
in saying that, under the most latitudina
rian construction of the “ military bills,” I
can find no authority for making the poli
tics of a citizen the test of ids eomjietency
to serve on a jury, and, thereby, it may be
jeopardizing to parties in court the right of
being tried by an impartial jury.
If the officers of court were ordered to
"have the juries made up from the list of
membership in the Baptist, Methodist, or
Presbyterian, or any other church, I can
not see that such order would be more iu
conflict with Americanism than these or
ders. In the one case the religious creed
of tlie citizen would be Lite test of his com
petency to sit on a jury—iu the other case
the test of ids competency is his politics.
Were I absolved from the obligation re
ferred to, there are other cousiderations suf
ficient to deter me from undertaking to ad
minister justice through the instrumentali
ties indicated. Precedents, General, in all
matters, especially in judicial mat
ters, if based upon wrong principles, are
dangerous things; their influence for evil is
felt long after the occasion which gave
birt h to them and their authors have passed
away. lam unwilling to be made instru
mental in engrafting upon American juris
prudence the principle that the competency
of a juryman is dependent upon ids politics.
This principle would endanger the impar
tiality of jurors, and, sooner or later, de
stroy all protection to life, liberty and
property.
Again: Without further authoritative le
gislation, in view of my responsibility to
the law, whenever the people of the United
States shall become sane, and in view of my
accountability “to Him that is ready to
judge the quick and the dead,” no earthly
consideration could induce me to pass sen
tence upon a person convicted of a capital
offense, by the verdict of a jury organized
as indicated in Orders Nos. 53 and 55.
Whilst l do not expect you, General, to
concur in the views herein presented, I do
claim to have accorded to me frankness and
honesty of purpose, qualities once consider
ed virtues, the existence of which among
Georgians, I fear you have had too rarely
occasion to remark since you were called
to your present position.*
General, I resret to have to present these
considerations, but I dare not ignore my
convictions of duty.
If you should feel it to l>e your duty to
> prohibit me from the further exercise of
judicial powers, notice of that fact at your
earliest convenience is desirable.
1 shall make no issue with you, for 'the
reason that I know of no apimllate officer
or tribunal in the country at the present
time adequate to the occasion.
With high consideration, General, I am
yours, most respectfully,
Augustus Reese. ’
N. B.—The regular term of Greene
County Superior Court begins on Monday
uext.
Hd’qkh Third Military District, j
(Georgia, Alabama and Florida,) >
Ati-anta, September, 1867. )
lion. Augustii.i Hens?, Madison, Go. :
Dear Sir : I have the honor to acknowl
edge receipt of your communication of the
sth inst., in which you inform me that you
cannot, us a .1 udge of a Superior Court of
the State of Georgia, obtain your consent
to bo made instrumental iu carrying out
Orders Nos. 03 and 05, issued from these
headquarters, and stating your reasons
therefor.
Whilst I thank you for the candor of
your communication I regret that you have
reached such a conclusion.
1 cannot undertake to enter into an argu
ment to convince you that my orders are
legal and obligatory upon you. It seems
not improper, however, to state that the
position upon which your conclusion is
based appears to me to be totally unten
able. Your argument is founded upon the
theory that the State government of Geor
gia is a legal one, and that all acts con
trary to the laws of the State, even when
done in pursuance of the acts of Cougress,
are illegal. The preamble of the recon
struction acts .contradicts this theory in
direct terms in the following words, viz :
“ Whereas no legal State governments or
adequate protection for life or property now
exists in the rebel States of * * * *
Georgia * * * * Ac.”
The acts then proceed to recognize the
exisiting State governments as provisional
only, and establish a military government
to which the provisional government is
made in almost every respect subordinate.
As the laws of the United States are
paramount in Georgia, it follows that no
proceedings of the existing State govern
ment of Georgia possessed any validity
whatever prior to the enactments of the
reconstruction acts, and that whatever va
lidity they possess now they owe entirely
to that recognition. Whenever the pro
ceedings of the provisional State govern
ment, either in its executive or judicial de
partment, conflict with the provisions of
the reconstruction acts, or with the orders
of the military commander acting in con
formity thereto, such proceedings are with
out legal validity. The power is vested in
me by the reconstruction acts to make such
orders as I consider necessary to carry out
the objects therein specified, and such or
ders carry with them in this district all
the force of law until they are modified
or countermanded by higher authority than
mine.
Any law of the provisional State govern
ment in conflict with orders thus issued is
.null and of non-effect, and any proceedings
whatever, under a law thus set aside by
military orders, are without validity.
My Orders 53 and 55 were issued by vir
tue of the power thus vested in me, and I
consider them necessary to the execution
of the acts of Cougress above specified.—
As the reconstruction acts became laws of
the United States, in the manner provided
by the Constitution, and as the question of
their constitutionality ha’s been presented
to the Supreme Court of the United States,
and that highest judicial tribunal oi the
country has decided that it has no jurisdic
tion in the case, the consideration of that
question by subordinate military or judicial
officers is scarcely admissible. Your argu
ment dgains" political lest is very good,
but totally inapplicable to the case.
My Orders require the jurors to be se
lected from the registered voters, but make
no discrimination as to their politics.
Whilst 1 do not, for the present, prohibit
you from the further exercise of judicial
powers, I do require you to observe the
above orders, and will not overlook any
failure on your port to carry them fully into
execution.
I am, sir, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
John Pope,
Bv’t Maj. Gen. U. S. A., Commanding.
Madison, Ga., September 16tli, 1867.
To Maj. Qen. Pope, Commanding Third Mili
tary District, rfr. :
General : Owing to my absence in hold
ing Greene County Superior Court, your
letter (without date,) in reply to my com
munication of the sth inst., was not re
ceived until the afternoon of Saturday last.
Your suggestions, in relation to Orders
Nos. 58 and 55, have caused me to give to
my communication of the sth inst. a most
careM and searching review, to see if J
o AUGUSTA, (Gy.) WEDNESDAY MORISOTS, SEPTEMBER 25, 1867
could find any fallacy iu the arguments or
error in my conclusions, and candor com
pels me to say that 1 have been unable to
detect either.
You say : “My orders require the jurors
to be selected from the registered voters, but
make no distinction as to politics,” Now,
-it is certainly true, that the orders referred
to do not, in so many words, make a dis
tinction as to politics; but upon what
grounds is it that a large number of citi
zens, who can take the registration oath,
are excluded ?
Their politics is not to register or other
wise commit themselves to tlie military
bills; they don’t register—they are exclu
ded from the jury box. I most respectfully
submit that my analysis of these orders, as
contained in my first communication , is cor
rect, to wit: That by these orders the poli
tics of the citizen is made the test of his
competency to sit upon a jury.
I concede to the full extent tlie doctrine
that tlie private citizen is bound to con
form to all laws passed by authority until
they are declared void by the judiciary;
but a judicial officer, in discharge of his
duty, sworn to administer his office agree
able to fundamental law, occupies a very
different position. I thank you, General,
for the deferential consideration you have
been pleased to give to my embarrass
ments upon this subject.
I can’t see that I have any alternative iu
the premises, other thaii to proceed with
tlie discharge of my official duties as here
tofore until you shall feel it to be your duty
to have given to me a prohibitory notice.
With high consideration, General, I am
yours, most respectfully,
Augustus Reese,
Judge Superior Court, &c.
N. B.—l have an adjourned court in
Baldwin county, commencing to-morrow.
Next week is the regular term for Putnam
county.
Atlanta, Ga., September 17, lisG7.
Dear Sin: I received this morning your
letter of the 16th inst., in answer to mine
of the sth inst. As our views of your duty
to observe and comply with Orders issued
by me, as district commander, are irrecon
cilable, and as I consider it my duty to en
force my own opinion on the subject, and
as I am very unwilling in the case of a gen
tleman of your character and standing to
resort to so unpleasant an act as your re
moval from office, I suggest that, to avoid
unpleasantness—which I am sure neither of
us seek—you resign your office. If you
should couclude not to do so, be pleased to
inform me, and to consider this letter a
positive prohibition against the further ex
ercise of your office, unless you conform to
my Order concerning juries in this State.
I regret very much tha#this disagreement
should deprive the State of Georgia of tlie
services of so competent and worthy a
J udge.
I am, sir, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
John Pope,
Bvt. Maj. Gen. U. S. A., Com’nding.
Hon. Augustus Reese, Madison, Ga.
Milledgeville, September 20,1867.
To Major General Pope, Commanding Third
Military District,
General : Yours of tlie 17tli instant, in
reply to mine of the 16th, was not received
by me until last night. I cannot, as you
have been heretofore advised, consistently
with my views of duty, be made instru
mental in carrying out Orders Nos. 53 aud
53, nor can I bring my mind to the conclu
sion that I ought to resign. Your letter,
therefore, is accepted by me as “ a positive
prohibition against the further exercise of
ny office,” and be acquiesced in by me
as such.
I thank you for the kind and compli
mentary manner in which you have been
pleased to communicate your prohibitory
order.
With high consideration, General, I re
main yours, most respectfully,
Augustus Reese.
