Standard! nplram bv martyred souls That battled to lie free; We love thee, and thy glory Wsus the sainted shield <• bore before our loyal hearts I pon the battle lield. The orient folds of erimson light Reflected back the sun, That golden shone upon the field By bleeding Southrons won. The “earnest-browed and eagle-eyed, Those martyred-heroes sleep, While o’er tln'ir silent graves of dust The tangled grasses creep. No more for them the cannon's roar-- No more the “piercing life „ They stand upon the “golden shore, Beyond the “stream of life;’’ Ah. well, at least to them ’twas spared, That bloodv deed of shame. Which furled thy tri-hued folds. And quenched dear freedom s name. Oh, blessed banner of the past, bearer than over now; Tlio years their shadows darkly east, And adverse storm-winds blow, We’ll not forget thee! Sad our hearts At whisper of thy name! And immortelles shall deck thy folds Now laurel-crowned bv fame. Farewell, dearensign, bathed in blood, Holy of holies now, Folded art thou from loyal hearts That still allegiance bow; Maid and matron, son and sire Have consecrated thee With blood and tears. Furled, but glorious still, Thou “emblem of the free.” A New Poem by Oliver Wendell Holmes. The March number of the Atlantic i Monthly has tho following poem by Oliver Wendell Holmes : ALT, JIF.RK—IB2O-1867. it is not what wo say or sing That keeps our charm so long unbroken, Though every lightest leaf we tiring May touch tho heart as friendship’s token; Not what we sing or what we say Can make 11s dearer each to other— We love the singer and his lay, But love as well the silent brother. Yet bring what’er your garden grows, Thrice welcome to our smiles'] and praises ; Thanks for the myrtle and the rose, Thanks for tho marigolds and daisies ; One flower ere long we all shall claim, Alas ! unloved of Amaryllis— Nature's last blossom—need J name The wreath of three-score’s silver lilies ! How many, brothers, meet to-night Around our boyhood’s covered embers ? tin read the, treasured names aright The old triennial list remembers ; Though twenty wear the starry sign That tells a life has broke its tether, The fifty-eight of ’twenty-nine— < lod bless the boys !—aru all together ! These come with joyous look and word, With friendly grasp and cheerful greet ing— Tlioso smiles unseen, and move unheard, The angel guests of every meeting : They cast no shadow in the flame That flushes from the gilded lustre, But count us—we are still the satpe; One earthly bond, one heavenly cluster! Love dies not when he bows his head To pass beyond the narrow portals— The light these glowing moments shed Wakes from their sleep our lost immor tals ; They come as in their joyous prime, Before their morning days were num bered— Death stays tho envious hand of Time— Tho eyes have not grown dim that slum bered ! Tho paths that loving souls have trod Arch o’er the dust where worldings grovel High as the zenith o’er tho sod— Tho cross above tho sexton’s shovel 1 Wo rise beyond the realms of day, They seem to stoop from spheres of glory With us one happy hour to stay, While youth comes back in song and story. Ah ! ours is friendship true as steel That war has tried in edge and temper; It writes upon its sacred seal Tho priest’s uliique—omnes semper ! It lends the sky a lairor sail Thatehrors.our lives with rays as steady As if our f<insteps had begun To print the golden streets already ! The tangling years have clenched its knot Too fast for mortal strength to sunder— The lightning bolts of noon are shot— No fear of evening’s idle thunder ! Too late ! too late ! —no graceless hand Slmlistroteli its cords in vain endeavor To rive the close encircling band That made and keeps us one forever. So when upon the lilted scroll The falling stars have all descended, And, blotted from Use breathing roll, 1 >nr little jingo of life is ended, We ask Imt one memorial lino Traced on tby tablet, Gracious Mother: "My children.

Don't you remember, Lilly dear, The mill by tho old hill side, Where v.o used logo in the summer time And watch tho foamy tide; And loss the leaves of the fragrant beech, 1 >ll its breast so smooth and bright, Where lliov floated away like emeralds, In a flood of golden light? Lilly dear! And the miller, love, with his slouoliy cap; And eyes of mildest gray, Plodding about his dusty work, Singing the live-long day ? And the coat that hung on the rusty nail, With many a motley patch, And llie rude old door, \\ ithits broken sill, And the string, and tho wooden latch? Lilly dear! And the water-wheel, with its giant arms, Dashing the beaded spray, And the weeds it pulled from tho sand below, Ami t>* send in scorn away; And tho sleepers, Lilly, with moss o’or grown, Like sentinels stood in pride. Breasting tho waves where the chinks of little H ero made in the old mill’s side ? Lilly dear! Lilly, the mill is torn away, And a faetory, dark and high, Looms like a tower, and pull's its smoko Over tlio clear Blue sky; And the stream it turned away above, And the bed of the river bare, And the beech is withered, bough and trunk, And stands like a spectre there— Lilly dear! And tlu> miller, Lillv, is dead and gone! lie sleeps in the vale below; 1 saw his stone in wintertime, Under a drift of snow, Hut now the willow isjjroen again, And the wind is soft and still. 1 send you a sprig to remind you, love, Os him and the dear old mill, Lilly dear!

The Meetings in Atlanta.—The At lanta papers crime to it with the proceed ings in full of the meetings held in that city on Monday and Monday night, but as they occupy too much space, wo must con tent ourselves with a brief synopsis. The meeting at 10 a. m. was organized by calling Richard Peters to the Chair, and appointing Wm. L. Scruggs Secretary. A committee wxs appointed to report a preamble and resolutions, who, through their Chairman, Col. 11. P. Farrow, re ported the following: Whereas, by the mysterious workings of Providence our Country has been brought into its present unhappy and distressed condition, by means ana instrumentalities which it is unnecessary to enumerate at this time, in which condition the people of Georgia, in consequence of unsuccessful warfare against, the Government of the United States, stands in this relation to that Government of participants in unsuc cessful rebellion, and, as a consequence, in the relation of conquered to conqueror; and Whereon, it has become a welt establish ed and fundamental principle of the Gov ernment of the United States, sustained overwhelmingly by tbe people of the same, that by waging against that Govenunent, the mighty conflict which has sacrificed so many lives and so much treasure, the peo ple of the insurrectionary States deprived themselves of legal Governments, and can be legally re-invested with State Govern ments alone by the law-making power of the United States; and Where,ax, it has become an equally well- \ settled principle with the American peo- ! pie that all men shall stand in the same relation to the Government and enjoy eqnal rights and privileges under it,, irre- ! ; yo of the place or circumstances of 'or, race, or former condition: and i S' • . It is also decreed that those j who ipitted in the recent rebellion ] aft—• hat. / taken an oath, and held cer- ! tain Kjioeii. and offices previous to engaging! in said reb- ’lion, to support the Coustitu- j tion of the United States, shall never again 1 hold office under that Government until Congress shall have removed their dis- i ability ; and Whereas, No one is rendered by the present legislation of Congress ineligible to office, or deprived by the elective fran chise, no matter how prominent or efficient ; hti may have been in the recent rebellion if he had not. held certain offices previous to the war and had not taken au oath of office to support the Constitution of the United States ; and Whereas, The number of persons in each county in the Southern States, who are made ineligible to office by virtue.of said legislation, boars but a small proportion to the number, who, though they were engaged in the rebellion, are nevertheless permitted to continue in the enjoyment of every political and civil right ; therefore Resolved, ]. That in the opinion of this meeting the dearest and most vital inter ests of each and every citizen of Georgia requires that restoration be no longer un necessarily postponed. Resolved, 2. That indiscretion has al ready delayed the work of restoration until the interest of the entire people of Georgia are bieoding at every pore, and that all passion and prejudice should be forthwith cast aside and reason once more | permitted to ascend tho throne, or we will i yet loose rights and interests which we I now enjoy. | Resolved, 3. That it is the sense of this meeting that the people of Georgia should i promptly and without tho least hesitation j accept the plan of restoration recently pro j posed by Congress. I Resolved, 1. That, in the opinion of this ; meeting, there are persons in eacli and i every county within this State, sufficient in numbers and of sufficient integrity and ; ability, who are not debarred from voting j and holding office by the provisions of this j law, to perform all the functions of Gov- I eminent. Resolved, 5. That wo earnestly hope that as soon as practicable all those who have tho right to do so will in good faith enter upon the duty of instituting for Georgia a legal State government. j; solved, li. That wo, citizens of Fulton county, rlo hereby proclaim to our fellow citizens throughout the entire Union a sin cere purpose on our part tohealtho wounds inflicted by the unhappy past, and we take this method of extending to our fellow-cit izens of every State a cordial and hearty invitation to come and settle in our midst, assuring them, in tho name of everything that is sacred, that they shall be received and treated as friends, and as citizens of a common country. Resolved, 7. That a copy of the proceed ings of this meeting be forwarded to Gov. Jenkins, and a copy to theChairman of the Reconstruction Committee at Washington City. Col. J. M. Calhoun seconded the resolu tions; when Col. L. J. Glenn obtained the floor and submitted the following pre amble and resolutions: We, a portion of tho citizens of Fulton county, this day assembled in public, meet ing, do adopt the following resolutions: Resolved, That in view of tho present condition ofthe Southern States, and tiie passage of the Military Bill by tho House of Representatives over tho President’s veto, it is tho duty and the policy of the people of Georgia to remain quiet, and thereby preserve their self-respect, man hood anq honor. Resolved, That in the event said bill be comes a law, we trust that Governor Jen kins, in conjunction with the Governors of the other .Southern States, will at once take the necessary steps to have the consti tutionality of tho same tested before the Supreme Court of the United States. Resolved, That wetonderto his Excellency President Johnson, our heartfelt thanks for his patriotic efibrts to protect the Consti tution ofthe United States and the liberties of the people. Resolved, That copies of these resolutions bo forwarded to his Excellency the Presi dent of tho United States, and to liis Ex cellency < fovernor Jenkins. Gol. T. U. Howard proceeded to offer a preamble and resolutions, amendatory of 1 'ol. Glenn’s resolutions, which were ob . to on the ground of his being a non -1 ■of the county, but ho was allowed l<> hem. Mr. Gaskill moved to lay the rtf ! it ions of Col. Glenn, with tile amend; relit of Col. Howard, on the tabic. Much confusion and excitement ensued, 1 when Cel. R. J. Cowart moved an adjourn ment, which was carried. In tho evening another meeting was organized with the same Chairman and T. \Y. J. Hill as Secretary. Col. Farrow moved tho consideration of the resolutions offered in the morning, which was carried. On motion tho following was adopted in lieu of the 7th resolution reported by the committee: Resolved, That a copy or the proceedings of this meeting be forwarded to the Chair man of the Reconstruction Committee in Congress, ami to Governor Jenkins, with the request that he convene the Legisla ture, with a view to the calling ©!'• a con vention of the poo; lie of Georgia, for the purpose of fully complying with the terms of tho Sherman Act lately passed by Congress. Ex-Governor Joseph E. Brown being present addressed the meeting in a frank and patriotic manner. The resolutions as amended were then adopted by a large majority. Tiie opposition party met at the City Hall after tho adjournment of the first meeting, with Hon. L. J. Gartrell in the clinir and John C. Whitner as Secretary. Col. Glenn renewed the resolutions which lie had previously offered; and, after speeches by Col. J. J. Morrison, Col. Adair and Col. K. A. Alston, the resolutions were adopted by an overwhelming ma jority. The Savannah A'rat tfc /a .vtW of the ; 4th, in alluding to the murder of Mr. Geo : 0. Heyward, says: 1 ]iu.nond JioaucnJc. —A report has been j prevalent i:i our city for the last few days to the effect that -Mr. Leo. C. Heyward) a gentleman of extensive acquaintance in this city, and one ot tlio most respected ' planters in Beaufort District, South I’aro iina, had been brutally murdered by a negro who v. as formerly in bis employ. The rumors regarding the manner of iiis death are very conflicting; the only defin ite information we have was, that when last seen be was crossing Buckingham's Ferry, on his way to the plantation which ho was cultivating. A short time after wards liis sou heard the report of firearms, but, at the time, thought nothing ofit. ilis long and unusual absence, together with the report of llie tirearms mentioned above, excited the suspicion of bis sou, who. ac companied by a few neighbors, started in quest of him. .Viter a short search his Ihjil,'- was found in a ditch, elo*e to tlio road, w ith a ball through his forehead. Haying no direct confirmation of this sad event, wo do not teal justifiable in placing it before the public without the assurance that as yet nothing official has been receiv ed confirming the current reports. Governor Swann, of Maryland,— The Baltimore OcuetU', of March lid, says Governor Swann has declined to accept the place in the Senate of the United States to which he was recently elected by the Legislature. The Governor states that he has become satisfied that lie can better serve the State by retaining the position he now occupies, and that, with this con viction, he can pursue uo other course. The sentiments he expresses are eminently unselfish and patriotic. Among politi cians there are rumors afloat to the effect that the Senate had determined to refuse Mr. Swann his seat, and that Mr. Cox had made arrangements to join hands with the Radicals as soon its he should be firmly seated in the Gubernatorial chair. These re- XXirts we give for what they are worth, and leave the public to form its own judgment about them. For ourselves, we have no hesitation in saying that we are strongly of the opiniod that the Senate would eer v hive ousted Mr. Swann from the which he was legally elected, and ■at we know of Mr. Cox's char - ■> ■ 1 antecedents wo are sure that j that pa. tie plunderer is perfectly capa- I iilo of making any infamous bargain that ) wou ld bring hint pecuniary or political ; profit. The first water was let into the Chicago I-*ake Tunnel on Wednesday. The ex perimental flooding will be protracted through several days, if not weeks, with a view to a thorough testing of every portion of the structure. The city will be sup plied through the new channel, if all goes well, in about four weeks. The Military Beconstruction Bill. TUE PRESIDENT’S VETO. Me.mce of the President of the foiled State., Retcrninc to tbe House of Repre sentatives a Bill Entitled “An Act to Pro vide for tbe More Etlicietit Government of the Rebel States.” lo the Howe of Representatives: I have examined the bill “to provide for the more efficient government of the Rebel States” with the care and anxiety which its transcendant importance is cal culated to awaken. I am unable to give it my assent for reasons so grave that I hope a statement of them may have some influence on the minds of the patriotic and enlightened men with whom the decision must ultimately rest The bill places all the people of the ten States therein named under the absolute domination of military rulers; and the preamble undertakes to give the reason upon which the measure is based, and the ground upon which it is justified. It declares that there exists in those States no legal governments, and no adequate protection for life or property, and asserts the necessity of enforcing peace and good order within their limits. Is this true as matter of fact? It is not denied that the States in question have each of them an actual gov- j ernment, with all the powers, executive, j judicial and legislative, which properly ! belong to a free State. They are or- | ganized like the other States of the Union, ! and. like them, they make, administer and 1 execute the iaw.-> which concern their do- 1 mestic all airs. An existing de facto gov ernment, exercising such functions as these, is itself the law of the State upon ail matters within its jurisdiction. To pro nounce the supreme law-malting power of an established State illegal, is to say that law itself is unlawful. The provisions which these govern ments have made for the preservation of order, the suppression of crime, and the redress of private injuries, are in substance and principle the same as those which pre vjril in the Northern States and other civilized countries. They certainly have not succeeded in preventing the commis sion of all crime, nor has this been accom plished anywhere in the world. There, as well as elsewhere, offenders sometimes escape for want of a vigorous prosecution, and occasionally, perhaps, by the ineffi ciently of courts ortho prejudice of jurors. It is undoubtedly true that these evils have been much increased and aggravated, North and South, by the demoralizing in fluences of civil war, and the rancorous passions which the contest has engender ed. But that these people are maintain ing_ local governments for themselves which habitually defeat the object of all government and render their own lives and property insecure, is in itself utterly im j probable, and the averment of the bill to that effect is not supposed by any evidence which has come to my knowledge. All the information I have on the subject con vinces me thut, the masses of the Southern people and those who control their public acts, while they’ entertain diverse opinions on questions of Federal policy, are com pletely united in the effort to reorganize their society on the basis of peace, and to restore their mutual prosperity as rapidly and as completely as their circumstances will permit. The bill, however, would seem to show upon its face that the establishment of peace and good order is not its real object. The fifth section declares that the preced ing sections shall cease to operate ill any State where certain events shall have hap pened. These events fare —First, the se lection of'delegates to a State Convention by an election at which negroes shall be allowed to vote. Second, the formation of a State Constitution by the Convention so chosen. Third, the insertion into the State Constitution of a provision which will se cure the right of voting at all elections to negroes, and to such white men as may not be disfranchised for rebellion or felony. Fourth, the submission of tho Constitution for ratification to negroes and white men not disfranchised, and its actual ratification by their vote. Fifth, the submission ofthe State Constitution to Congress for examination and the actual approval of it by that body. Sixth, the adopqpn of a certain amend ment to the Federal Constitution by a vote ofthe Legislature elected under the new Constitution. Seventh, tho adoption of said amendment by a sufficient number of other States to make it a part of the Con stitution of the United States. All these conditions must be fulfilled before the peo ple of itny of these States can bo relieved from the bondage of military domination ; | but when they are fulfilled, then itnmedi ! ately the pains and penalties of the bill are l to cease, no matter whether there be peace I and order or not; and without any refer | crieo to the security of life or property, j The excuse given for tho bill in the pre | amble is admitted by the bill itself not to be I real. The military rule which it estab i lislies is plainly to be used—not lor any j purpose of order for the prevention of ; crime, but solely as a means of coercing the I people into the adoption of principles and j measures to which it is known that they are j opposed, and upon which they have an un deniable right to exercise their own judg ment. | i submit to .Congress whether thismeas i ure is not, in its whole character, scope and object, without precedent and without authority, in palpable conflict with the plainest provisions of the Constitution, and utterly destructive to those principles of liberty and humanity for which our an cestors on both sides of the Atlantic have shed so much blood and expended so much treasure. . That ten States named in the bill are divided into five districts. For each dis trict an officer of the army, not below the rank of Brigadier General, is to be ap pointed to rule over the people; and he is to be supported with an efficient mili tary force to Cnable him to perform his duties and enforce his authority. Those duties and that authority,, as defined by the third section of the bill, are “to' pro tect. all persons in their rights of persou and property, to suppress insurrection, disorder and violence, and to punish or cause to be punished ail disturbers of the public peace or criminals.’’ The power thus given to the command ing officer over all the people of each dis trict is that of an absolute monarchy. His mere will is to take the place of all law.— The law of the State is now the only rule applicable to the subjects placed under his control, and that is completely displaced by the clause whioh declares all interference of State authority to be null and void. He alone is permitted to determine what are rights of person or property, and he may protect them in such way as in his discre tion may seem proper. It places at hi§ free disposal ail the goods in his district, and he way distribute them with out let or hindrance to whom he pleases. Being bound by no State law, and there being no other law to regulate the subject, he may make a criminal code of his own ; and he can make it as bloody as any re corded in history, or he can reserve the privilege of acting upon the impulse of his private passions in each case that arises. He is bound by no rules of evidence ; there is indeed no provision by which he is au tlwrized or required to take any evidence at all. Everything is a crime which he choses to s ail so, and all persons are con demned whom he pronounces to be guilty. He is not bound to keep any record, or make any report of his proceedings. He may arrest hie victims wherever ho finds them without warrant, accusation or proof of probable cause. If he gives them a trial before he inflicts the punishment, he gives it of his grace and mercy, trot because he is commanded so to do. To a casual reader of the bill, it might j seem that some kind of trial was secured by it to persons accused of crime ; but ! such is not the case. The officer‘‘may I allow local ,-tvil tribunals to try offenders,’' ! but of course this does not require that he shall do so. If any .State or Federal court presumes to exercise iu legal jurisdiction by the trial of a malefactor without his special permission,, he can break it up and punish the judges and jurors asbeingthem- j selves malefactors. 'Je can save his friends ; from justice and despoil bis enemies con- j trary to justice. it is al»o provide! that “he shad have power to organize military commissions or tribunals: but this power he is not com manded to exercise. It is merely permis sive, and is to be used only “when in his judgment it may be necessary for the trial of offenders." Even if the sentence of a commission were made a prerequisite to the punishment of a party, it would be scarcely the slightest check upon the officer, who has authority to organize it as he pleads, prescribe its mode of proceed ing. appoint its members from among his own subordinate-®, ?.nd revise all its decis ion®. Instead of mitigating the harshness of his >ingle rule, such a tribunal would be used much more probably to divide the re sponsibility of making it more cruel and unjust. Several provisions, dictated by the hu manity of Congress, have been inserted in the bill, apparently to restrain the power of the commanding officer ; but it seems to me that they are of no avail for that purpose. The fourth section provides— Fir?!. That trial® shall not be unneces sarily delayed : but I think I have shown that the power is given to punish without trial, and if so. this provision is practically inoperative. . N- cond. Cruel or unusual punishment is not to be inflicted ; but who is to decide what is cruel or what is un usual ? The words have acquired a legal meaning by long use in the courts. Can it be expected that military officers will understand or follow a rule expressed in language so purely technical, and not per taining in the least degree to their pro; t'ession ? If not, then each officer may define cruelty according to his own temper, and if it is not usual, he will make it usual. Corporeal punishment, imprisonment, the gag, the hall and chain, and the almost in supportable forms of torture invented for military punishment, lie within the range of choice. Third. The sentence of a com mission is not to be executed without being approved by the commander, if it affects life or liberty; and a sentence of death must be approved by tbe President. This applies to cases in which there has been a trial and sentence. I take it to be clear, under this bill, that the military command er may condemn to death without even the form of a trial by a military commis sion, so that the life cf the condemned may depend upon the will of two men, instead of one. It is plain that the authority here given to the military officer amounts to absolute despotism. But to make it still more un endurable, the bill provides that it may be delegated to as many subordinates as he c.iooses to appoint; for it declares that he shall "puDisn or cause to be punished.” Such a power has not been wielded by any monarch in England for more than" five hundred years. Inqill that time no people who speak the English language have borne such servitude. It reduces the whole population of the ten States—all persons, of every color, sex and condition, and every stranger within their limits—to the most abject and degrading slavery. No master ever had a control so absolute over his slaves as this bill gives to the military officers over both white and colored per sons. It may be answered to this that the offi cers of the army are too magnanimous, i just and humane to oppress- and trample j upon a subjugated people. Ido not doubt that army officers are as well entitled to this kind of confidence as any other class of men. But the history of the world has been written in vain if it does not teach us that unrestrained authority can never be safely trusted in human hands. It is almost sure to be more or less abused un der any circumstances, and it has always resulted in gross tyranny where the rulers who exercise it are strangers to their sub jects, and come among them as the repre sentatives of a distant Bower, and more especially when the Bower that sends them is unfriendly. Governments closely re sembling that here proposed have -been fairly tried in Hungary "and Poland, and the suffering endured by those people routed the sympathies ofthe entire woriu. It was tried in Ireland, and, though tem pered at first by principles of English law, it gave birth to cruelties so atrocious that they are never recounted without just indignation. The French Convention armed its deputies with this power and sent them to the Southern departments of the repub lic. The massacres, murders and other atrocities which they committed show what the passions of the ablest men in the most civilized society will tempt theih to do when wholly unrestrained by law. Tho men of our race in every age have struggled to tie up the hands of their gov ernments and keep them within the law; because their own experience of all man | kind taught them that rulers could not be j relied on to concede those rights which J they were not legally bound to respect. The head of a great empire lias some times governed it with a mild and paternal sway; but the kindness of an • irresponsi ble deputy never yields what the law does not extort from him. Between such a master and the people subjected to such a domination there can be nothing but enmity; he punishes them if they resist his authority, and, if they submit to it, he hates them for their servility. I comp now to a question which is, if possible, still more important. Have we the power to establish and carry into' execution a measure like this ? I answer, certainly not, if we derive our authority from the Constitution, and if we are bound by the limitations which it im poses. This proposition is perfectly clear—that no branch of the Federal Government, executive, legislative or judicial, can have any just powers, except those which it de rives through and exercises under the or ganic law of the Union. Outside of the Constitution we have no legal authority more than private citizens, and within it we have only so much as that instrument gives us. _ This broad principle limits all •our functions, and applies to all subjects. It protects not only the citizens of States which are within the Union, but it shields every human being who comes or is brought under our jurisdiction. \\ r c have no right to do in one place more than an other, that which the Constitution says we shall not do at all. If, therefore, the Southern States were in truth out of the Union, we could not treat their people in a way which the fundamental law forbids. Some, persons assume that'the juccess of our arms in crushing the opposition which was made in some of tho States to the execution of the Federal laws, reduced those States and fill their people—the in nocent as well as tho guilty—to the con dition of vassalage, and gave us a power over them which the Constitution does not bestow, or define, or limit. No fallacy can bo more transparent than tills. Our victories subjected the insurgents to legal obedience, not to the yoke of an arbitrary despotism. When an absolute sovereign reduces his rebellious subjects, he may deal with them according to his pleasure, be cause he had that power before. But when a limited, monarch puts down an in surrection, he must still govern according to law. If an insurrection should take place in one of our States against tho authority of the State, government, and end in the overthrow of those who planned it, would that rako away the rights of all the people of the counties where it was favored by a part or a majority of the population ? Could they, for such a reason, be wholly outlawed and deprived of their representation in the Legislature ? I have always contended that the Govern ment of the United States was sovereign within its constitutional • sphere ; that it executed its laws, like the States them selves, by applying its coercive power directly to individuals; and that it could put down insurrection with the same effect as a State, and no other. The opposite doctrine is the worse heresy of those .who advocated secession, and cannot be agreed to without admitting that heresy to be right. Invasion, insurrection, rebellion and domestic violence were anticipated when the Government was framed and the means of repelling and suppressing them were wisely provided for in tho Constitu tion ; but it was not thought necessary to de clare that the States in which they might occur should be expelled from the U nion. Rebellions, which were invariably sup pressed, occurred prior to that out of which these questions grow ; but the States con tinued’ to exist and the Union remained unbroken. In Massachusetts, in Benn s.vlvania, in Rhode Island, and in New York, at different periods in our history, violent and armed opposition to the United States was .carried on ; but the .relations of those States with the Federal Govern ment were not supposed to be interrupted or changed thereby, after the rebellious portions of their population were defeated and put down. It is true that in these earlier eases there was no formal expression of a determina tion to withdraw from the Union, but it is also true that in the Southern States the ordinances of secession were treated by all the friends of the Union as mere nullities, and are now aeknowedged to be so by the States themselves. If we admit that they had any force or validity, or that they did in fact take the States in which they were passed out ofthe Union, we sweep from under our feet all the grounds upon which we stand in justifying the use of Federal force to maintain thiyutegrity of the Gov ernment. This is a bill passed by. Congress in time of peace. There is not in any one of the States brought under its operation either war or insurrection. Thelaws of the States an! of the Federal Government are all in undisturbed and harmonious operation.— The courts, State and Federal, are open, and in the full exercise of their proper au thority. Over every State comprised in these five military district.-, life, liberty and property are secured by State laws and Federal law®', and the national Constitution is everywhere in force and everywhere obeyed. What, then, is the ground on which this bill proceeds ? The title of the hill announces that it is intended “tor the more efficient government 1 ’ of these ten , States, ft is^ recited by way of preamble that no legal State governments, “nor ade quate protection tor life or property’' exists in those Spates, and that peace and ‘ good order should be thus enforced. The • first thing which arrests attention upon these reeiuds, which prepare the way for martial law, is tills—that the only fbunda- ! tion upon which martial law can exist under our form of Government is nor. stated or so much as pretended. Actual war, ; foreign invasion, domestic insurrection- - none of these appear: and none of these in I fact exist. It is not even recited that any 1 sort of war or insurrection is threatened. Let us pause here to consider, upon this question of constitutional law and the ' power of Congress, a recent decision of the . Supreme Court of the United States in ; cr parte Milligan. T will first quote from the opinion of the j majority es the Court; ‘‘Martial law can- : cot arise from a threatened invasion. The j necessity must be actual and present, the , invasion real, such as effectually closes the : courts and deposes the civil administra tion.'’ W-e see that martial law comes in only when actual war closes the courts and j deposes the civ ii authority; but this bill, in time of peace, makes martial law operate as though we were in actual war. and becomes the cam instead of the consequence of the abrogation of civil authoritv. One more quotation: “xt follows from what has been said on this subject that there are occasions when martial law can be properly a,,plied. If , in foreign invasion or civil war the courts j are actually closed, and it is impossible to : administer criminal justice according to law, then, on the theatre of active military ; operation®, where war really prevails, there is a necessity to furnish a substitute ; for the civil authority, thus overthrown, to pre erve the safety of the army and society : and as no power is left but the military, it is allowed to govern by martial rule until the laws can have their free j course.” _ i I now quote from the opinion ot the 1 minority of tho Court, delivered by Chief Chase: “We by no means assert Unit Congress can establish and apply the . pf war where no war has been declared 01 exists. IV fi cru ~e 3CO exists the laws of peace must prevail.” This is sufficiently exp.icit. Peace exists in all the territory to which this bill applies. It asserts a power in Congress, in time of peace, to set aside the laws of peace and to substitute the laws of war. The minority, concurring with the majority, declares that Congress does not possess that power. Again, and, if possible, _ more emphatically, the Chief •Justice, with remarkable clearness and condensation, sums up the whole matter as follows: . Y er ? are under the Constitution three kinds of military jurisdiction —one to be exercised both in peace, and war : another to be exercised in time of foreign war with out the boundaries of the United States or m time of rebellion and civil war within States or districtsoeeupied by rebels treated as belligerents, and a third to be exercised 1 ? funs of invasion or insurrection ' within the limits of the United States or during rebellion within the limits of the States maintaining adhesion to tbe National Gov ernment when the public danger requires its exercise. The first of these may be called jurisdiction under Military Laic, and is found in acts of Congress prescribing rules and articles of war, or otherwise pro nding for the government of the national forces; the second may be distinguished as Military Government, superseding, so far as may be deemed expedient, the local law and exercl-ed by the military commander under the. direction of the President, with the express or implied sanction of Con- while the third may be denominated Martial Law Proper, and is called into action by Congress or temporarily, when the action of Congress cannot be invited, and_ in the case of justifying or excusing peril by the President, in times of insur rection or invasion or of civil or foreign war within districts or localities where or dinary law no longer adequately secures public safety and private rights.' ’ It will be observed that of the three kinds of military jurisdiction which can be exercised or created under our Constitu tion, there is . but one that can prevail, in time of peace, and that is the code of laws enacted by Congress for the government of the national. forces. That body of military law has no application to the citizen, nor even, to the citizen soldier enrolled in the militia in time of peace. But this bill is not a part of that sort of military law, ;br that applies only to the soldier and not to the citizen, whilst, con trariwise, the military law provided by this bill applies only to the. citizen and not to the soldier'. I need not say to the Representatives of the American people that their Constitu tion forbids the exercise of judicial power in any way but one—that is by the or dained and • established courts. It is equally well known that in all criminal cases a trial by jury is made indispensable by tire express words of that instrument. I will not enlarge on the inestimable value of the right thus secured to every freeman, or speak of the danger to public liberty in all parts of the country which must ensue from a denial of it anywhere or, upon any pretence. Avery recent decision of the Supreme Court has traced the history, vindicated the dignity, and made known the value of this great privilege so clearly that nothing more is needed. To what extent a vio lation of it might be excused in time of war or public danger may admit of discus sion, but we arc providing now for a time of profound peace, where there is not an armed soldier within our borders except those in the service of the Government. It is in such a condition of things that an act of Congress is proposed, which, if carried out, would deny a trial by the law ful. courts and jury to nine millions of American citizens, and to, their posterity for an indefinite period. It seems to be scarcely possible that any one should seriously believe this consistent with a Constitution which declares in simple, plain and unambiguous language, that all per sons shall have that right, and that no person shall ever in any case bo deprived, of it. The Constitution also forbids the arrest of the citizen without judicial war rant founded on probable cause. This bill authorizes an arrest without warrant, at the pleasure of a military com mander. The Constitution declares that “no person shall be held to answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime unless oil presentment by a grand jury.” This bill holds every person not a soldier an swerable for all crimes and all charges without any presentment. The Constitu tion declares that “no person shall be de prived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.” This bill sets aside all process of _ law, and makes the citizen answerable in his person and property to the will of one man, and as to his lite to the will of two. Finally the Constitution de clares that “the privilege of tho \\*it of habeas corpus shall not bo suspended un less when. in case of rebellion or invasion, tho public safety may require it; ” whereas this bill declares martial law (which of itself suspends this great writ) in time of peace, and authorizes the military to make the arrest, and gives to the prisoner only one privilege, and that is atrial “without un necessary delay.” He has no hope of release from custody, except the hope, such as it is, of release by acquittal before a military commission. The United States are bound to guaran tee to each State a republican form of gov ernment. Can it be pretended that this obligation is not palpably broken if we carry out a measure like this, which wipes away every vestige of republican govern ment in ten States, and puts the life, nro perty, liberty and honor of all the people in each of them under the domination of a single person clothed with unlimited au thority? The Parliament of England, exercising the omnipotent power which it claimed, was accustomed to pass bills of attainder; that is to say,. it would convict men of treason amt other crimes by legislative en actment. The person accused had a hear ing, sometimes a patient and fair one; but generally party ••rejuclieo prevailed* instead of justice. ,t often became neces sary for Parliament to acknowledge its error and reverse its own action. The fathers of our country determined that no such thing should occur here. I hoy withheld the power from Congress, and thus forbade its exercise by that body; and they provided in the Constitution that no State should pass any bill of attainder. It is, therefore, impossible for any person in this country to be constitutionally con victed or punished for any crime by a leg islative proceeding of any sort. Never theless, here is a bill of attainder against nine million of people at once. It is based upon an accusation so vague as to be scarcely, intelligible, and found to be true upon no credible evidence. Notone of the nine millions was heard in his own defence. The representatives of the doomed parties were excluded front all participation in the triai. Ihe conviction is to be followed by the most ignominious punishment ever inflicted on largo masses of men. It dis franchises them by hundreds of thousands, ana degrades them all —even those who are admitted to be guiltless—from the rank of freemen to the condition of’ slaves. The purpose and object of the bill—the genera! intent which pervades it from be ginning to end is to change the entire structure and character of the State gov ernments, and to compel them by force to the aaopcion iu organic laws and rcgula rions winch they are unwilling to accent i 11 leit to themselves. The negroes have i not as lied mr tne privilege of voting—the'l past majority oi them have no idea what it means. dm.* bill not only thrusts it into I their hands, but compels thSm, as well as' the whites, to use it in a particular way. ! If tney do not form a constitution with : prescitoed articles in it, and afterwards elect a Legislature which will act upon j ceitain mcnsuios in & prescribed way ■ i neither blacks nor whites can be relieved I from the slavery which the bill imposes I upon them. W ithout pausing' here to ! consider the policy or impolicy of African- : izmg the Southern part of our territory 1 would simply ask the attention of Con- ! gress to that manifest and well-known and ' universally acknowledged rule of constitu tional law, which declares that the Federal Government has no jurisdiction, authority 1 or power to regulate such subjects for any ! State. To force the right of suffrage out j ot the lianas ot the white people and into i the hands of the negroes is an arbitrary ! violation of this principle. y Tnu bin imposes martial law at once and its operations wnl begin so soon as the General and his troops can be put in place The dread alternative between its lr-r-h rule and compliance with the terms of "this measure is not. su®p.cnded, nor are the people afforded any time for free delibera tion. The bill says to them, take martial law first, then deliberate. And when they have done ad that this measure re quires them to do, other conditions and contingencies, over which they have no control, yet remain to be fulfilled before they can bo relieved from martial law. Another Congress must first approve .the constitutions made in conformity with the will of this Congress, and must declare these States entitled to representation in both Houses, ihe whole question thus remains open and unsettled, and must j again occupy attention of Congress, i and in tne meantime the agitation which now prevails will continue to disturb ail j portions of the people. The bill also dentes the legality of the ■ governments ot ten of the States which j participated in the ratification of the amendment to tne Federal Constitution abolishing slavery forever within the juris diction of the United State-sand practically excludes them from the Union. If this assumption of the bill be correct their eon- 1 currence cannot be considered as having j been legally given, and the important fact ’ is mad” to appear that the consent of three do,. lis of the States —the requisite , number—;;. * not been constitutionally ob- j tained to th ratification of that amend- ; ment, thus leaving the question of slavery ! where it stood before the amendment was' officially declared to have become a part of the Constitution. That the measures proposed by this bill does violate the Constitution in the par ticulars mentioned, and in many other ways which I forbear to enumerate, is too clear to admit of the least doubt. It only remains to consider whether the injunc tions of that instrument ought to be obeyed or not. I think they ought to be obeyed, for reasons which I will proceed to give as briefly as possible. In the first place, it is the only system of free government which we can hope to* have •as a nation. When it ceases to be the rule of our conduct, we may perhaps take our choice between complete anarchy, a consolidated despotism, and a total dis solution of the Union; but national liberty, regulated by law, will have passed beyond our reach. It is the best form of government the world ever saw. No other is, or can fce so well adapted to the genius, habits or wants of the American people. Combining the strength of a great empire with unspeaka ble blessings of local self-government— having a centra! power to defend the gen eral interests, and recognizing the authority of the States as the guardians of industrial rights, it is "the sheet-anchor of our safety abroad and our peace at home.” It was ordained ' ‘to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tran quility, promote the general welfare, pro vide for the common defence, and secure the blessings ofjiberty to ourselves and to our posterity.” These great, ends have been attained heretofore, and will be again, by faithful obedience to it, but they are certain to be iost if we treat with disregard its sacred obligations. It was to punish the gross crime of defy ing the Constitution, and to vindicate Its supreme authority, that we carried on a bloody war of four years’ duration. Shall we now acknowledge that we sacrificed a million of lives and expended billions or .treasure to enforce a Constitution which is not worthy of respect, and preservation ? Those who advocated the right of seces sion alleged in their own justification that we had no regard for law, and that pieir rights of property, life anil liberty would not be safe under the Constitution as ad ministered by us. I five now verify their as sertion,we prove that they were in truth and in fact lighting for their iii: ay, and instead qf branding their leaders with tl»c dis honoring name of traitors against a righteous and legal Government, Wo ele vate them in history to the rank of self sacificing patriots, consecrate them to the admiration of tlie world, and place them by the side of Washington, Hampden and Sydney. INo, let us leate them to the in famy they deserve, punish them as they should he punished, according to law, and take upon ourselves no share of the odium, which they should bear alone. It is a part of our public history which can never be forgotten that both Houses of Congress, in July, 1881, declared in the form of a solemn resolution that the war was and should be carried oil for no pur pose of subjugation, but solely to enforce the Constitution and laws; and that when this was yielded by the parties in rebellion, the contest should cease, with the constitu tional rights of the States and of individ uals unimpaired. This resolution was adopted anil sent forth to the world unani mously by the Senate, and with only two dissenting voices in the House. It was accepted by the friends of the Union in the South, us well as in the tNorth, as express ing honestly and truly the object of the war. On the faith of it many thousands of persons in both sections gave their lives and their fortunes to the cause. To repu diate it now by refusing to the States and to the individuals within them the rights which the Constitution and laws of the Union would secure to them, is a breach ot our plighted honor for which I can ima gine no excuse, and to which I cannot voluntarily become a party. The evils wbibh spring from the unset tled state of our Government will bo acknowledged by all. Commercial inter course is impeded, capital is iu constant peril, public securities fluctuate in value, peace itself is not secure, and. the sense of moral and political duty is impaired. To avert these calamities from our country it is imperatively required that we should immediately decide upon some course of administration which can be steadfastly adhered to. I am thoroughly convinced that any settlement or compromise or plan of action which is inconsistent with the principles of the Constitution will not only bo unavailing but mischievous; that it will but multiply the present evils instead Os removing them. The Constitution, ia its whole integrity and vigor, throughout the length ancl breadth of the land, is the best of all the compromises. Besides, our duty does hot, in my judgment, leave us a choice between that and any other. I believe that it con tains the remedy that is so much needed, and that if the co-ordinate branches of the Government would unite upon its pre visions, they would be found broad enough and strong enough to sustain in time of peace the' nation which they bore safely through the ordeal of a protracted civil war. Among the most sacred guaranties of that instrument are those which declare that “each State shall have at least one Representative,” and that “no Slate, with out its consent, shall bo deprived ot its equal suffrage in the Semite.” Each House is made the “judge of the elections, re turns, and qualifications of its own mem bers,” and may, “with the concurrence of two-thirds, expel a member.” Thus as heretofore urged, “in the admission of Senators and Representatives from any and all ot the States, there can be no just ground of apprehension that persons who are disloyal will be clothed with ' the powers of legislation, for this could not happen when the Constitution and the laws are enforced by a vigilant arid faithful Congress.” .“When a Senator or Repre sentative presents his certificate forelection, he may at oneo be admitted or rejected ; or, should there be any question as to his eligibility, his credentials may be referred for investigation to the appropriate com mittee. If admitted to a scat, it must be upon evidence satisfactory to the House of which lie thus becomes a member, that lie possesses the requisite constitutional find legal qualifications. If refused admis sion as a member for want of due alle giance to the Government and returned to his constituents, they aro admonished that none but persons loyal to the United States will be allowed a voice in the Legislative Councils of the Ration, and the political power and moral influence of Congress aro tints effectively exerted in the interests of loyalty to the Government and fidelity to the Union.” And is it not fer better that tho work of restoration should be accomplished by simple compliance with the plain require ments oi' the Constitution than by a re courso to measures which in elfect destroy the States, and threaten tho subversion of the General Government? All that is necessary to settle this simple .but impor tant question, without further agitation or delay, is a willingness on the part of all to sustain the Constitution and carry its pro visions into practical operation. If to-mor row either branch of Congress would de clare that, upon the presentation of theircre dentials,.-members constitutionally elected and loyal to the General Government would be admitted to seats in Congress, while all others would be excluded, and their places remain vacant until , tiie selection by Ihe people of loyal and qualified persons ; and if, at tho same time, assurance was given that this policy would be continued until all the States were represented in Congress, it would send a thrill of joy throughout tiie entire land, as indicating the inaugu ration oi a system which must speedily bring tranquility to the public mind. ~\\ liilo we arc legislating upon subjects winch areof great importance to tho whole people and which must affect all parts of ln«i country not only during tholile of the present generation but forages to-come, we should remember that all men are entitled, at least, to a hearing in tiie councils which decide upon the destiny of themselves and then- children. At present ten States are denied representation, and when the .fortieth Congress assembles on the fourth day Oi tin 1 present month sixteen States will be without a voice in tiie House of lu-preseutatives. This grave fact, with tho important questions before us, should in ..uee us to pause in a course of legislation U making solely to the attainment of political ends, fails to consider tho rights it transgresses, the laws which it violates or tho institutions which it imperils. .
