CO jNSTIT UTIONALIST. WEDNESDAY MORNING. SEPT. 25.1867 | From (he Chronicle A Sentinel. 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.
