SUNDAY MORNING. SEPT. 29. 1807
Letter from tlie Hon. Iverson L. Harris, ono
of the Judges of the Supreme Court of
the State of Georgia, ou the ‘‘Political
Situation.”
Milledgeville, September 14, 1867.
To the Hon. Dawson A. Walker, Dalton:
My Dear Judge: I received your letter
of the oth instant, referring to our frequent
conversations heretofore concerning our
condition as a people, and desiring me to
reduce to writing the views expressed by
me as to “ the status of Georgia ” at this
time, and the course which 1 thought it
most expedient to pursue In reference to the
proposed call of a convention to revise the
State constitution; with the additional re
quest that you might exhibit or publish the
same, as you thought proper.
I sat down at once, to comply with the
request, to reduce my opinions to writing,
but found, after I had done so, notwith
standing a constant effort at condensation,
that I could not either fully or fairly pre
sent them within such limits as the rules of
good taste require in a letter. I therefore
must beg you to excuse me for not forward
ing the article prepared, and to substitute
therefor, very much compressed, a mere out
line of the course of thought by which I
have been conducted to the conclusions
herein stated, and on which I would act,
were I not disfranchised.
It is my conviction, after long and ma
ture thought, that the many great questions
involved in the inquiry, “ What is the status
of Georgia at this time ?” cannot be solved
by considering them as falling within the
province of either municipal or constitu
tional law.
They can find a correct solution only by
the application to them of the principles of
international law, to which domain of juris
prudence exclusively belong the adjustment
and determination of the controversies of
States lately belligerent, and the relations
which, upon the cessation of hostilities,
they bear to each other.
Let me in advance say, that, educated
from early manhood in the political school
of Jefferson and Troup, and believing in
the sovereignty of each State, and, conse
quently, in the abstract right of secession,
my opinions are, as you will see, the neces
sary result of such an education.
Now, I take it to be an undeniable fact,
that Georgia, by the ordinance or her con
vention in 1861, did dissolve her connection
with the Federal Union, and renounce the
Federal Constitution.
This act put Georgia out of the Federal
Union.
I take it to be also an undeniable fact,
that Georgia, as a State, has not been re
stored to her former position in the Federal
Union.
This being so, she is stiU out of the Fed
eral Union. What interest or property as
a State, if my premises are right, she has in
a Constitution which she solemnly re
nounced, and which has not been re
extended over her as a State in the Federal
Union, and as it existed before her seces
sion, I am at a loss to discover. Having
none as a State, how can she, in reference
to political rights and privileges, rightfully
claim its benefits and protection V
Upon this view you will perceive that I
utterly deny that there was a civil war in
its legitimate sense—that we were rebels—
traitors. A necessary consequence from
this position is, that upon the termination
of hostilities there can be no confiscation
or amenability to the municipal laws of the
conqueror.
The claim that the Constitution is ours,
{ind that we have never parted with it,
tTri-tOcckh}
contains within it the fatal admission of
our guilt as traitors.
“ The status of Georgia, then, at this
time,” is that of a conquered State out of the
Federal Union.
If this is so, it is in the light only of the
laws of nations that our situation can be
properly considered.
It must, I think, be conceded by every
jurist, whose reading has extended beyond
Blackstone and the Constitution of the
United States, that it is a settled and un
questionable doctrine of the laws of na
tions, that the conqueror, according to the
customs of Christian civilized nations, may
rule the State conquered at his will, witii
no other restrictions on his power than the
customary usages of such nations.
The Congress of the United States, from
this source , and this alone , derived their pow
er to pass the reconstruction acts ; they do
not spring from the exercise of enumerated
and delegated powers to Congress, but
from the power outside of the Constitution
inherent in the victor.
Viewing those acts, then, in the light of
terms imposed by the conqueror on the con
quered—and 1 am driven by a stern logic
to look at them in that light, and no other
—so regarding them, lam called on to de
termine what line of conduct it is most ex
pedient to pursue. I am compelled, also,
to remember at the same time, that there is
no earthly tribunal to which the conquered
can appeal for remedy or redress. Are we
not, then, by an inexorable necessity, com
pelled to choose between acquiescing in
those acts, or resistance ? Would not the
last be downright madness ? The other al
ternative is the only thing left us.
From the view I have thus taken of our
situation, and thoroughly convinced that a
convention will be called, that the opposi
tion of the whites will not only be utterly
unavailing, but actually prejudicial, I am
constrained to say, being very much con
trolled, in my judgment, by what I deem a
wise expediency, as also by reasons which
prudence forbids the utterance of now, that
if I had the right to a vote I would vote
for the call of a convention. I would then
cordially co operate with the colored voters
in the election to that convention of the
most intelligent, independent, dispassionate
and prudent delegates not disfranchised I
could find. To them I would commit the
high task of moulding our organic law ac
cording to our altered condition, so as to
fulfil the requisitions of the reconstruction
acts, that Georgia may be restored to the
Federal Union; and if our present State
constitution needed other guards lor the
protection of public and private property
against plunder or legislative abuse, they
should be provided. By the adoption of
the provision of those acts in reference to
suffrage, I would close at once, which, if
not thus disposed of, will prove a perennial
fount of agitation, anxiety, alarm.
It is difficult to over-estimate the import
ance ol vigilance and concerted action on
the part of all good and true patriots in pre
venting the convention from getting into
the power or under the control ol selfish,
unprincipled, bad men, who, for sinister
purposes, it is believed, are now industri
ously occupied in striving to estrange and
alienate permanently the whites and blacks.
It is my best judgment that the course
indicated by me will more effectually con
tribute to thwart the purposes of such vile
creatures than any other.
If, however, all effort to guard the con
vention against a power and influence so
much to lie dreaded, should prove unavail
ing, and a constitution under their manage
ment, embodying other provisions than those
required by the reconstruction acts, of a
proscriptive, unjust and offensive character
to. the whites, should be made l»y it, and
presented for ratification to a popular vote,
then let the whites unite, and with manly
scorn indignantly reject it.
Accustomed to form my own opinions
aud freely to express them, I know of no
sufficient reason why I should withhold the
permission desired. They are, therefore,
placed at your discretion.
I am, very respectfully, your obedient
servant, Iverson L. Harris.
Tue Question Answered. —Somebody
—a woman of course—inquires why, when
Eve was manufactured from the spare rib,
a servant wasn’t made at the same time to
wait on her ? Somebody else—a woman,
we imagine—replies in the following strain:
Because Adam never came whining to
Eve with a ragged stocking to be darned,
collar to be sewed on, or a glove to mend
“ right away, quick now.” Because he
never read the newspapers until the sun
got down behind the palm trees, and then,
stretching himself out, yawned out “ ain’t
supper most ready, my dear 1” Not he.
He made the fire, and hung the kettle over
it himself, we’ll venture ; and pulled the
radishes, peeled the potatoes, and did every
thing else he ought to. He milked the
cows, fed chickens, and looked after the
chickens himself.
He never brought home half a dozen
friends to dinner when Eve hadn’t any
fresh pomegrauites, and the Mango season
was over. He never stayed out till 11
o’clock to a ward meeting, hurrahing for
an out and out candidate, and then scold
because poor Eve was sitting up and crying
inside the gates. He never played billiards,
rolled ten-pins and drove fast horses, nor
chocked Eve with tobacco smoke. He
never loafed around corner groceries while
Eve was rocking little Cain’s cradle at
home. In short, he did not think she was
especially created for the purpose of wait
ing on him, and was not under the impres
sion that it disgraced a man to lighten a
woman’s -cares a little. That’s the reason
that Eve did not need a hired girl; and with
it was the reason that her fair descendants
did.
A Sunday Among the Ritualists.— The
Pall Mall Gazette gives the following account
of a recent festival Sunday atT3t. Bartholomew’s
Church, Moore Lane, London :
“At ihe morning service antiphons were
sung before and after each of the Psalms of
the day, and also before and after the canticles.
The lessons were read by a young layman, vest
ed in a blue merino dress with a long train, and
a girdle of the same material round his waist,
over which he wore a short surplice of very
light fabric, thus enabling the colors of the
cassock or gown to show through. At the con
clusion of matins, this young man retired to
the vestry and shortly reappeared divested of
his robes, and, wearing a black cassock and a
differently shaped surplice, proceeded with the
clergy to the altar, where he officiated as sub
deacon and sang the epistle. The Rev. A.
Squib, curate fn charge, preached the sermon,
which lasted ouly six minutes. At the evening
service the altar was very tastefully decorated
with flowers and candles. The service com
menced at seven o’clock and finished at a quar
ter to ten. This was partly accounted for by
the length of some of the hymns and the in
troduction of antiphons, &e. One of the hymns
consisted of twenty-six verses. The sermon
was preached by Father Ignatius, from the
words ‘Comfort ye, comfort ye, my people,
saith the Lord.’ After an explanation of the
text, the Drencher proceeded in his manner to
rebuke the worldlincss of the present age. He
could not ‘ speak comfortably’ to his hearers.
How could he > speak comfortably’ to those
who went to theatres, balls and casinos? He
believed that more than hall of the people who
had that morning received the holy communion,
if they were to die before next Sunday, would
go straight to bell fire. They were told to hate
the world, but how conld people be said to
hate the world who frequented snch places ?
The sermon lasted about an hour and an half.”
When the celebrated Patrick Henry, of
Virginia, was near the close of his life, and
in feeble health, he laid his liand on the
Bible, and addressed a friend who was
with him: “ Here is a book worth more
than all others printed: yet it is my mis
fortune never to have read it with proper
attention until lately.” About the same
time lie wrote to his daughter: “I have
heard it said that Deists have claimed me.
The thought pained me more than the ap
pellation of Tory; for I consider religion
of infinitely higher importance than poli
tics, and I find much cause to reproach my
self that I have lived so long and given uo
decided public proof of my being a Chris
tian,”

1. Its great strength, on account of being doublc
getued, which not only doubles the strength by divi
ding the strain o i twice the number of teeth, but by
gearing on bot l 'sides of the wheels it equalizes the
wear on the s rfts, and materially lessens the inction,
enabling the i.orses to do much more work than with
any other I ower.
2. Its i ompactnees and extreme portability, weigh
ing ab)i t one-half as much as other Horse Powers,
and oc cupylng hut one-third the space, it can be pack
ed ir small boxes, thus saving much expense. It is
so simple that *he most ignorant person would have
no difficulty in putting it together.
3. The facility with which it can be adjusted to any
kind of machinery at any angle, either on the ground
or over head, without moving it from its foundation,
will be appreciated by farmers and planters as spec
ially adapted for driving Cotton Gins.
