United States Supreme Court
194 U.S. 73
Beavers v. Henkel
Argued: March 9, 10, 1904. --- Decided: April 11, 1904
On July 23, 1903, a grand jury of the circuit court of the United States for the eastern district of New York found and returned an indictment under § 1781, Rev. Stat. (U.S.C.omp. Stat. 1901, p. 1212), charging George W. Beavers, and officer of the government of the United States, with having received money for procuring a contract with the government for the Edward J. Brandt-Dent Company. A warrant for the arrest of the official was issued to the marshal of the district, and returned 'not found.' Thereupon a complaint, supported by affidavit, was filed in the district court of the United States for the southern district of New York, alleging the finding of the indictment, the issue of the warrant, the return 'not found,' and that Beavers was within the southern district of New York. Upon this complaint a warrant was issued, Beavers was arrested and brought before a commissioner. A hearing was had before that officer, and upon his report the district judge of the southern district signed an order of removal to the eastern district. Before this order could be executed Beavers presented his petition to the circuit court of the United States for the southern district of New York for a writ of habeas corpus. After a hearing thereon the application for discharge was denied, and thereupon an appeal was taken to this court.
Messrs. Max D. Stener, Bankson T. Morgan, and William M. Seabury for appellant.

Assistant Attorney General Purdy for appellee.

# Asleep (Owen)

Under his helmet, up against his pack, After so many days of work and waking, Sleep took him by the brow and laid him back.
There, in the happy no-time of his sleeping, Death took him by the heart. There heaved a quaking Of the aborted life within him leaping, Then chest and sleepy arms once more fell slack.
And soon the slow, stray blood came creeping From the intruding lead, like ants on track.
Whether his deeper sleep lie shaded by the shaking Of great wings, and the thoughts that hung the stars, High-pillowed on calm pillows of God's making, Above these clouds, these rains, these sleets of lead, And these winds' scimitars, -Or whether yet his thin and sodden head Confuses more and more with the low mould, His hair being one with the grey grass Of finished fields, and wire-scrags rusty-old, Who knows? Who hopes? Who troubles? Let it pass! He sleeps. He sleeps less tremulous, less cold, Than we who wake, and waking say Alas!

# Atharva-Veda Samhita/Book II/Hymn 17

17. For various gifts.
[Brahman.—saptarcam. prāṇāpānāyurdevatyam. ekāvasānam: 1-6. 1-p. āsurī triṣṭubh; 7. āsury uṣṇih.]
⌊Not metrical.⌋ Pāipp. has a similar set of phrases in ii. For the use of the hymn by Kāuç. and Vāit, see under hymn 16. It is also, with 15 and others, reckoned by the schol. to Kāuç. (54. 11, note) to the āyuṣya gaṇa.
Translated: Weber, xiii. 180; Griffith, i. 61.
1. Force art thou; force mayest thou give me: hail!
The Ppp. has no phrase corresponding to this. Some of our mss., as of SPP's, read dā instead of dāḥ before svā́hā, in this hymn and the next, where they do not abbreviate the repetition by omitting both words. The comm. regards them both as addressed to Agni, or else to the article offered (hūyamānadravyam). ⌊Cf. MGS. i. 2. 3, and p. 149 and citations.⌋
2. Power art thou; power mayest thou give me: hail!
Ppp. has sahodā agnes saho me dhā svāhā.
3. Strength art thou; strength mayest thou give me: hail!
Ppp. gives baladā agnir balaṁ me svāhā.
4. Life-time art thou; life-time mayest thou give me: hail!
The corresponding phrase in Ppp. is: āyur asyā āyur me dhā svāhā.
5. Hearing art thou; hearing mayest thou give me: hail!
There are no phrases in Ppp. answering to this and the two following verses; but others with varcas and tejas as the gifts sought.
6. Sight art thou; sight mayest thou give me: hail!
7. Protection (paripā́ṇa) art thou; protection mayest thou give me: hail!
The anuvāka ⌊3.⌋ has 7 hymns, with 42 verses; the Anukr. says: aṣṭonaṁ tasmāc chatārdhaṁ tṛtīye.
Here ends also the third prapāṭhaka.
# Atharva-Veda Samhita/Book II/Hymn 19

19. Against enemies: to Agni (fire).
[Atharvan.—āgneyam. 1-4. nicṛdviṣamāgāyatrī; 5. bhurigviṣamā.]
⌊Not metrical.⌋ This hymn (but not its four successors and counterparts) is found in Pāipp. ii.; also in MS. (i. 5. 2: in verse-order 1, 4, 3, 2, 5) and Āp. (vi. 21. 1: in verse-order 3, 4, 1, 2, 5); further, in K. Its first pratīka (but regarded by the schol. and by the comm. as including all the five hymns) is used by Kāuç. (47. 8) to accompany the purastād homas in the witchcraft rites. The Anukr. has a common description of the five hymns, 19-23, as pañca sūktāni pañcarcāni pañcādpatyni (? or -catapāty-) tripādgāyatrāṇy ekāvasānāni. ⌊The mss. blunder; but pañcāpatyāni is probably right; see note to Kāuç. 47. 8.⌋
Translated: Weber, xiii. 181; Griffith, i. 62.
1. O Agni! with the heat that is thine, be hot against him who hates us, whom we hate.
MS. leaves (in all the verses) the a of asmā́n unelided, and both MS. and Āp. insert ca before vayám.
2. O Agni! with the rage (háras) that is thine, rage against him who hates us, whom we hate.
Práti hara has to be strained in rendering, to preserve the parallelism of the expression. ⌊Or, 'with the seizing-force that is thine, force back him' etc.?⌋
3. O Agni! with the gleam (arcís) that is thine, gleam against him who hates us, whom we hate.
4. O Agni! with the burning (çocís) that is thine, burn against him who hates us, whom we hate.
​5. O Agni! with the brilliancy (téjas) that is thine, make him unbrilliant who hates us, whom we hate.
Ppp. has jyotis for tejas, and prati daha for atejasaṁ kṛṇu; for the latter, MS. and Āp. read prati titigdhi (also K., tityagdhi).
The meter is alike in the four hymns 19-22; the Anukr. restores the a of asmān, and in vss. 1-4 scans 6 + 7 + 10 = 23, and, in vs. 5, 6 + 9 + 10 = 25.
# Atharva-Veda Samhita/Book II/Hymn 15

15. Against fear.
[Brahman.—ṣaḍṛcam. prāṇāpānāyurdevatyam. tripādgāyatram.]
Found also in Pāipp. vi., but in a much fuller form, with thirteen verses, of which our six are, in their order, vss. 1, 4, 3, 7, 12, 13; the others deal with wind and atmosphere, cow and ox, Mitra and Varuṇa, Indra and Indra's might (indriya), hero and heroism, breath and expiration, and death and immortality (amṛtam); after bibher is added in vs. 1 evā me ’pāna mā riṣayā, and, at the end of the hymn, the same, but with riṣa for riṣayā. In Kāuç. (54. 11), the hymn is used, with vi. 41, at the end of the godāna ceremony, on giving food to the boy. It is also counted by the schol. (ib., note) to the āyuṣya gaṇa. The comm. makes no reference to the godāna rite, but declares the use to be simply by one desiring long life (āyuṣkāma).
Translated: Weber, xiii. 179; Griffith, i. 59.
1. As both the heaven and the earth do not fear, are not harmed, so, my breath, fear not.
⌊MGS., at i. 2. 13, has evam me prāṇa mā bibha evam me prāṇa mā riṣaḥ.⌋
2. As both the day and the night do not fear etc. etc.
The comm. here applies for the first time the term paryāya to these sentences, correspondent but with elements in part different.
3. As both the sun and the moon do not fear etc. etc.
4. As both sacrament (bráhman) and dominion (kṣatrá) do not fear etc. etc.
That is, the Brāhman and Kṣatriya castes (brāhmaṇajāti and kṣatriyajāti, comm.), as the words might properly enough be translated.
​5. As both truth and untruth do not fear etc. etc.
6. As both what is (bhūtá) and what is to be (bhávya) do not fear etc. etc.
The comm. paraphrases bhūtám by sattām prāptaṁ vastujātam; the past would seem to be a better example of fixity than the future; but neither is "untruth" (vs. 5) to be commended as an example. ⌊Weber would read ca ṛtám.⌋
# Atharva-Veda Samhita/Book II/Hymn 11

11. To counteract witchcraft: with an amulet.
[Çukra.—kṛtyāpratiharaṇasūktam; kṛtyādūṣaṇadevatyam. 1. 4p. virāḍgāyatrī; 2-5. 3-p. paroṣṇih (4. pipīlikamadhyā nicṛt).]
⌊The hymn is not metrical.⌋ Not found in Pāipp., nor elsewhere. Reckoned as first of the kṛtyāpratiharaṇa ('counteraction of witchcraft') gaṇa (Kāuç. 39. 7 and note); used in a charm for protection against witchcraft (39. 1), with binding-on of a sraktya amulet; and again later (39. 13; the comm. says, only vs. 1), in a similar rite. The comm. quotes it further from Nakṣ. K. (17, 19), in a mahāçānti called bārhaspatī.
Translated: Weber, xiii. 163; Griffith, i. 54.—Discussed by Bloomfield, AJP. vii. 477 ff., or JAOS. xiii., p. cxxxii (= PAOS. Oct. 1886).
1. Spoiler's spoiler (dū́ṣi) art thou; missile's missile (hetí) art thou; weapon's weapon (mení) art thou: attain (āp) the better one, step beyond the equal (samá).
The body of the verse is addressed to the amulet; the refrain more probably to its wearer (so, too, Weber); but the comm. assigns the latter also to the amulet, and quotes to show it TS. ii. 4. 1$^4$, which rather supports the contrary opinion. He calls mení a vajranāman, deriving it from root mī 'damage.' ⌊See Geldner's discussion of mení ('hurt done to another in vengeful anger'), Festgruss an Böhtlingk, p. 31, 32.⌋
2. Sraktyà. art thou; re-entrant (pratisará) art thou; counter-conjuring art thou: attain the etc. etc.
The comm. says that srakti is the tilaka-tree, and sraktya means made from it; pratisara is something by which sorceries are turned back (upon their performer); it seems to mean virtually a circular amulet—⌊such as a bracelet? For re-entrant, Whitney has interlined revertent (sic), better, perhaps, reverting, trans, or intrans.⌋.
3. Conjure (abhi-car) against him who hates us, whom we hate: attain the etc. etc.
4. Patron (sūrí) art thou; splendor-bestowing art thou; body-protecting art thou: attain the etc. etc.
The comm., without explaining why, glosses sūrí with abhijña 'knowing.'
5. Bright (çukrá) art thou; shining (bhrājá) art thou; heaven (svàr) art thou; light art thou: attain the etc. etc.
The comm. thinks svàr to be jvarādirogotpādanena tāpakaḥ, or else "the common name of sky and sun."
The Anukr. scans vs. 1 as 6 + 6 + 6: 12 = 30, and the other verses as 8 + 8: 12 = 28, excepting vs. 4, which is 9 + 6: 12 = 27 (restoring the a of asi in b).
# Atharva-Veda Samhita/Book II/Hymn 16

16. For protection.
[Brahman.—prāṇāpānāyurdevatyam. ekāvasānam: 1. 1-p. āsurī triṣṭubh; 2. i-p. āsury uṣṇih; 3. 1-p. āsurī triṣṭubh; 4. 5. 2-p. āsurī gāyatrī.]
⌊Not metrical.⌋ Found (except vs. 5) in Pāipp. ii. (in the verse-order 2, 1, 3, 4). The hymn, with the one next following, is used by Kāuç. (54. 12) immediately after hymn 15; and the comm. adds, quoting for it the authority of Pāiṭhīnasi, to accompany the offering of thirteen different substances, which he details. Both appear also in Vāit. (4. 20), in the parvan sacrifices, on approaching the āhavanīya fire; and vss. 2 and 4 further (8. 7, 9) in the āgrayaṇa and cāturmāsya sacrifices.
Translated: Weber, xiii. 179; Griffith, i. 60.
1. O breath-and-expiration, protect me from death: hail (svā́hā)!
The first extension of the notion of prāṇa 'breath,' lit. 'forth-breathing,' is by addition of apāna, which also is lit. 'breathing away,' and so, when distinguished from the generalized prāṇa, seems to mean 'expiration.' The comm. here defines the two thus: prāg ūrdhvamukho ‘niti ceṣṭata iti prāṇaḥ; apā ’nity avān̄mukhaç ceṣṭata ity apānaḥ. For svāhā he gives alternative explanations, following Yāska. The verse (without svāhā) is found also in Āp. xiv. 19.3. "Triṣṭubh" in the Anukr. is doubtless a misreading for pan̄kti, as the verse has 1 1 syllables, and 1 and 3 would have been defined together if viewed as of the same meter.
2. O heaven-and-earth, protect me by listening (úpaçruti): hail!
The pada-mss. read úpa॰çrutyā (not -yāḥ), and, in the obscurity of the prayer, it is perhaps best to follow them ⌊'by overhearing' the plans of my enemies?⌋; otherwise, 'from being overheard' ⌊by my enemies?⌋ would seem as suitable; and this is rather suggested by the Ppp. reading, upaçrute (for -teḥ?).
Ppp. has after this another verse: dhanāyā ”yuṣe prajāyāi mā pātaṁ svāhā.
3. O sun, protect me by sight: hail!
Ppp. has cakṣuṣī '(protect my) two eyes.' Our O.Op., with some of SPP's mss., read sūryas for -ya.
4. O Agni Vāiçvānara, protect me with all the gods: hail!
Ppp. makes, as it were, one verse out of our 4 and 5, by reading agne viçvambhara viçvato mā pāhi svāhā. The comm. gives several different explanations of vāiçvānara 'belonging to all men,' one of them as viçvān-ara = jantūn praviṣṭaḥ!
5. O all-bearing one, protect me with all bearing (bháras): hail!
# Atharva-Veda Samhita/Book II/Hymn 18

18. For relief from demons and foes.
[Cātana (sapatnakṣayakāmaḥ).—āgneyam. dvāipadam; sāmnībārhatam.]
⌊Not metrical.⌋ Ppp. has some similar phrases in ii. The hymn belongs to the cātanāni (Kāuç. 8. 25: the comm. regards only the last three verses as cātana, because vs. 3 is the one whose pratīka is cited in the Kāuç. text; but it is perhaps more likely that arāyakṣayaṇam is an oversight for bhrātṛvyakṣ-); it is used by itself also in one of the witchcraft rites (ābhicārikāṇi), while adding fuel of reeds to the fire (48. 1).
Translated: Weber, xiii. 180; Griffith, i. 61.
​1. Adversary-destroying art thou; adversary-expulsion mayest thou give me: hail!
'Adversary' is lit. 'nephew' or 'brother's son' (bhrātṛvyd). The Ppp. phrases are after this model: bhātṛvyakṣīṇam asi bhrātṛvyajambhanam asi svāhā, and concern successively the piçācas, sadānvās, and bhrātṛvyas. The Anukr. supports the comm. in regarding the hymn as addressed to Agni, and agrees with Kāuç. in regard to the accompanying action, saying: sapatnakṣayaṇīḥ samidha ādhāyā ’gnim prārthanīyam aprārthayat. ⌊Instead of "destroying" W. has interlined "destruction."⌋
2. Rival-destroying art thou; rival-expulsion mayest thou give me: hail!
3. Wizard- (? arā́ya-) destroying art thou; wizard-expulsion mayest thou give me: hail!
4. Piçācá-destroying art thou; piçācá-expulsion mayest thou give me: hail!
5. Sadā́nvā-destroy'mg art thou; sadā́nvā-expulsion mayest thou give me: hail!

Baker v. Carr, 369 U.S. 186 (1962), was a landmark case in which the Supreme Court of the United States retreated from the Court's political question doctrine to decide that reapportionment issues (attempts to change the way voting districts are delineated) present justiciable questions, thus enabling federal courts to intervene in and to decide reapportionment cases. The defendants unsuccessfully argued that reapportionment of legislative districts is a "political question," and hence not a question that may be resolved by federal courts".

Baker v. Carr
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF TENNESSEE
Appellants are persons allegedly qualified to vote for members of the General Assembly of Tennessee representing the counties in which they reside. They brought suit in a Federal District Court in Tennessee under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983 and 1988, on behalf of themselves and others similarly situated, to redress the alleged deprivation of their federal constitutional rights by legislation classifying voters with respect to representation in the General Assembly. They alleged that, by means of a 1901 statute of Tennessee arbitrarily and capriciously apportioning the seats in the General Assembly among the State's 95 counties, and a failure to reapportion them subsequently notwithstanding substantial growth and redistribution of the State's population, they suffer a "debasement of their votes," and were thereby denied the equal protection of the laws guaranteed them by the Fourteenth Amendment. They sought, inter alia, a declaratory judgment that the 1901 statute is unconstitutional and an injunction restraining certain state officers from conducting any further elections under it. The District Court dismissed the complaint on the grounds that it lacked jurisdiction of the subject matter and that no claim was stated upon which relief could be granted.
Held:
1. The District Court had jurisdiction of the subject matter of the federal constitutional claim asserted in the complaint. Pp. 198-204.
2. Appellants had standing to maintain this suit. Pp. 204-208.
3. The complaint's allegations of a denial of equal protection presented a justiciable constitutional cause of action upon which appellants are entitled to a trial and a decision. Pp. 208-37.
