COjSTSTIT uti okalist. 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,” SPECIAL NOTICES.

It is so simple that *he most ignorant person would have no difficulty in putting it together. 3.
